As early as when Gu Yan first entered the Bixia Sect, she sensed with her divine thoughts that in the southeast corner not far from the front mountain and the back mountain, there was an extremely rich aura, and there, she sensed a lot of familiar spiritual grass breath, which was extremely difficult to find in Tianmu Mountain and Guixu Sea, which made Gu Yan sigh, Cangwu is really a holy land for cultivating immortals, a medium sect, and it actually has such a rich spiritual garden. If you can go to the Lingyuan to see it, then if you want to refine the elixir, it is close to the water, and it is no more convenient.

Shangguan Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "No one has done this errand for a long time, if you want to go, then go ahead." If you are guarding the spiritual garden, you will be given two spirit stones every month as a monthly offering, this share is equivalent to half of that of ordinary disciples, you have to cherish it, you take this brand and go to the spiritual garden to find the person on duty. With that, she handed out a jade talisman and left.

Gu Yan took the jade talisman and felt that what Shangguan Lan said was a little strange, could it be that this spiritual garden has been unguarded for a long time, so how could there be people on duty? At this time, Lin Zitong and Wei Zhaoyi also followed Gan Biwu, leaving only Wei Qing still here, she bowed to Wei Qing and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wei, can you lead the way this time?" ”

Wei Qing was hearty, he felt that he was one or two years older than Gu Yan, and he was the senior brother who started first, so he had the responsibility to take care of her, so he said: "You are going to the Spirit Garden, that place is boring, except for the head of the sect and a few elders, there are few people in the sect who usually go." I'll take you there. ”

Gu Yan followed him out, and the two of them gossiped while walking, Gu Yan asked: "There is no one to go to the Weishenme Spiritual Garden, listening to you, it looks like it is very desolate?" I heard that Bixia Sect was also famous for alchemy, so it shouldn't be so deserted to the Spirit Garden, right? ”

Wei Qing replied: "This is a long story. I think that our Bixia Sect back then was in the same vein as the Danding Sect, one of the nine major sects of Cangwu today, and it is said that the founding patriarchs are all the same inheritance. But then the patriarch came to the southeast to create a school, and it slowly declined, originally a few hundred years ago. It was still the leading faction in the country, but then an accident happened. Most of the elites in the sect have fallen, and the original spiritual garden has also been burned down, and many skills have been lost. Later, a few attendants of the head of the house at that time snatched some spiritual grass seeds out of the ruins, rebuilt the spiritual garden in the current place, and then slowly added new varieties to have the scale of today's spiritual garden. ”

He said. While raising his head, he looked a little embarrassed, "Originally, Bixia Sect was famous for alchemy, and I heard my master say that he was just a servant waiting for the Dan furnace at that time, and at that time, the gate factions of the six southeastern countries all came to us to ask for the pill, but unfortunately, now, we can only succumb to this southeast corner." Because the skills of alchemy at that time were not inherited. Later, the heads and elders studied on their own according to the Danfang that had been handed down, but the level was not as good as before. Like us, the three generations of disciples, they can't. Therefore, few people go to the spiritual garden. Now there is only an old man waiting there. ”

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows. "Uncle?" It seems that the monks rarely call it that.

Wei Qing said: "That's it in front, I'll talk to you slowly when I have time." Senior Sister Lin is a disciple of the head of the sect, and she knows more than me, so I will ask her to tell you when I have time. ”

Gu Yan looked up at the spiritual garden in front of her, which was located at the junction between the mountain gate of the front mountain and the valley of the back mountain, covering an area of about five or six acres, which couldn't help but make her secretly speechless.

You must know that it is not so easy to build a spiritual garden, according to the distribution of spiritual veins, the operation of spiritual energy, usually the person who builds the spiritual garden is a formation master, outside the spiritual garden, how to find the eye of spiritual energy collection according to the changes of the local spiritual vein, is a very deep knowledge. Moreover, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the character of the spiritual grass, so as to be able to arrange the distribution and scale of the spiritual grass planting according to the four seasons, and the restrictions of various factors make the construction of the spiritual garden an extremely troublesome thing, and it usually takes several generations or even more than ten generations of accumulation to be able to build a spiritual garden.

As far as she knows, in Tianmu Mountain, only Taiyi Sect has built its own spiritual garden, and the spiritual garden of Fuyumen is built by the mountain, which is subject to too many restrictions, and it is not a real spiritual garden. So this was the first time Gu Yan had seen the spiritual garden of a sect. She took a deep breath and wanted to step in.

"Wait!" Wei Qing stretched out his hand to stop her, and then stood outside the door before knocking on the bluestone wall next to him with his hand.

With his fingers, the wall made a crisp "Dongdong" sound, and then the two bamboo doors "creaked" open, and a head poked out of it, and said in a very old and hoarse voice: "Who is knocking?" ”

Gu Yan was startled by this head that suddenly stretched out, and then saw that what was revealed inside was an old and slender figure, as thin as a reed stick, the head did not look like a match for his thin figure, and the wrinkles on his face were as if they were deep with a knife, as if they were too old to look good, and only a person was left hanging in one breath, and other book friends looked at it normally:.

She swept him slightly with her divine thoughts, and couldn't help but be shocked, this person didn't have the slightest aura in his body, he was actually an ordinary mortal who couldn't be more ordinary. And his body does not have a lot of vitality like ordinary mortals, but his anger has long been completely cut off, in other words, this person should have been a dead person a long time ago!

At this moment, Gu Yan almost wanted to run away, and she even thought of what Ming Wuyu had said to her, there was a spell in the Demon Gate that could refine people's dead bodies into puppets. Could it be that the Bixia Sect is secretly a demon sect inheritance?

At this time, Wei Qing glanced at her, and then said very respectfully: "Rong Lao, this is a new outer disciple, and the head of the sect sent her to watch the Spirit Garden." ”

Gu Yan hurriedly handed over his jade talisman, and his divine thoughts kept sweeping on the other party's body, no matter how you look at it, the other party is also an ordinary person, but there is no trace of life on his body, but there is no death and zombie gas either, just like an ordinary body.

Rong Lao's voice was hoarse and terrifying, and it took almost a lot of attention to hear what he was saying. He looked at the jade talisman in his hand and said, "Since it is ordered by the head of the house, then come in." But guarding the mourning garden is not an easy job, if you can't do it, don't blame me for letting you go! After speaking, he used one hand to crutches, and the other hand beckoned, calling Gu Yan to come in.

Wei Qing also wanted to follow in, but was swept by his cold gaze, and could only say: "Senior sister, I will take Zhaoyi and Senior Sister Lin to see you again when I have time, I will go first!" After saying that, he pulled his legs and ran.

Gu Yan can probably understand his mood, no matter who it is, facing such an old man, it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable in his heart, right? Fortunately, she has traveled the world for a hundred years, and she has seen a lot of things, and she has seen countless demon beasts in Kunyuan for thousands of years, even if it is really a zombie in front of her, there is nothing to be afraid of, she can't beat it and run again, so she strides in.

Rong Lao glanced at her with some surprise, and there was some excitement in his eyes, and he said in his hoarse voice: "I have lived for more than three hundred years, watching the old spiritual garden be destroyed, and the new one will be built, but the head of the house can't help it, and now it is gradually abandoned. Little girl, would you like to stay here? ”

Gu Yan listened to his incomparably vicissitudes of life, and just wanted to nod, Rong Lao said again: "If you have the idea of the spirit grass here, I tell you that most of it is wrong, although there are a lot of spirit grass here, none of them can be eaten, otherwise how can you think this place will be so deserted?" He shook his head slightly, with a bit of hatred for iron and steel, "You know, the spiritual grass that is planted is also life, if you don't take care of it like a child, how can it be willing to listen to your dispatch?" ”

Gu Yan listened to what he said, and couldn't help but nodded, Ming Wuyu also said something similar back then, "As an alchemist, you must not treat the materials used for alchemy as cold dead things, you must know that all natural spiritual objects have spirituality, even if it is a small grass, if you don't understand its spirituality, you can't fully exert its medicinal properties, and you can't refine a natural and flawless elixir." ”

Rong Lao glanced at her with cloudy eyes, "Although I'm not an alchemist, and I don't know if you're right, but the ancestor back then also said something similar, it seems that you are capable of this position, so come with me." ”

He took Gu Yan along a winding path to a small courtyard in the southeast corner of the Spirit Garden, and said: "This is my usual resting place, you can also live here with me, there are more than a dozen rooms here, you can choose one." ”

Gu Yan naturally didn't care about these things, just thinking about living under the same roof with such an old man, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward, looking at the old man's room, she chose a room that was farther away from him.

Rong Lao didn't care either, and said, "You put things here, don't worry, no one will come to steal them, and then I'll take you to see the environment of the Spiritual Garden." ”

Gu Yan didn't have anything to carry with him, the Qiankun bag was all carried close to him, and there were only a dozen spirit stones and two spirit weapons. That spiritual weapon was still a game thing when she was bored at the time and learned to refine weapons with Lin Jiaxiu, but now it seems that it can come in handy. He shook his head, "The juniors don't have anything to clean up, please ask the seniors for advice." (To be continued)
