Chapter 4: Rites of Passage and Enlightenment Tests

There is a remote courtyard in the city, there are not many courtyards like this in Snow Rock City, not to say how dilapidated it is, but this courtyard is more special than other courtyards, and it can even be said to be a little out of place, only to see the vegetation in the courtyard is overgrown, and the unknown flowers are blooming beautifully, obviously a spring color, you must know that the Snow Rock Mountains are millions of miles in circumference, and the perennial snow is falling, extremely cold, and even people are a little unable to resist this severe climate, not to mention these flowers and plants that are so fragile in life, how can people not be surprised?

In the courtyard near the corner of the wall grows a plant that is slightly different from other plants, this plant is about two feet high, different from other plants is that the stem of this plant is not green, but a faint blue, the leaves are also slightly different from other plants, it is a lilac leaf, about two fingers wide, like willow leaves, even more incredible is the flower that blooms on the branches, bright red like blood, the flower blooms seven petals, a faint breath, constantly surrounding, especially the center of the stamen, like a flame and as if there is life to keep beating。

The cold wind blew, bringing up the snow that melted at some point, and scattered everywhere, one of the water droplets happened to be "pushed" by the wind to fly towards the strange plant, and the water droplets "banged" and vaporized before they came to the two inches away from the flower, and evaporated instantly as if they hit a red-hot piece of iron. Then the breeze swept by, and the breath on the peculiar flower swayed gently, as if it were spiritual, writhing wantonly.

"Crunch"

At this moment, a certain wooden door in the courtyard was gently pushed open, and then out of it came an old man in white, the old man was thinly dressed, but he didn't seem to feel the cold at all, obviously not an ordinary person, when the old man stepped out of the threshold, he swept the flowers and plants in the courtyard at will, when his eyes swept over the special plant, his calm eyes suddenly stared, and some old arms in the sleeves trembled slightly:

"Fire Spirit Orchid. ”

"This can't be, this can't ......"

The old man muttered to himself, and then suddenly took a few steps forward to the special plant, outside of the zhangxu, the sleeve robe shook and stretched out the slightly dry palm to grab the front, just when the old man's arm was about to reach the two inches of the special plant, the flower that was gently swaying in the wind, as if in danger, the stamen and the petals around the breath suddenly became irritable, at this moment as if there was life, in an instant, the breath suddenly expanded, spread in all directions, the surrounding plants as if falling into the magma immediately withered, and then was blown by the wind, turned into a little fly ash。 The upheaval happened in an instant, and before the old man withdrew his hand, the aura slammed into the old man's arm like a mad bull, and in a moment, the old man's small half of his arm was shrouded in the mist, and the sound of sizzling was endless, and then the old man's face was flushed, the old man did not hesitate at all, quickly ran the mysterious power in his body, and rushed towards that arm frantically, and did not stop for a moment to dodge and take a few steps back before completely getting rid of the group breath:

"The orchid opens, the spiritual fire appears, and the spiritual beads are hidden. ”

"I didn't expect it to happen, at a huge cost, can't the refined Bing Yuan Dan be suppressed?"

After the incident just now, the old man's face, which was already a little old, looked even older, and a trace of dead ash flashed in his eyes, but more than that, and then he flicked his robe, and put his somewhat fleshy hand that had just been burned by the gas into his sleeve, and turned around and walked quickly towards a room......

In Snow Rock City, in a certain alley on South Street, a young man was carrying two jars of wine, walking towards a courtyard not far ahead, and soon came to the outside of the courtyard, and then the young man raised his foot, gently opened the courtyard door, and then flashed in.

"Yan'er, Uncle Liu, I'm back!"

"Well, no one. ”

The boy swept the courtyard with some confusion, and then walked towards a room.

The third room in the courtyard, there is something peculiar in this house, since there is no piece of furniture, and the only thing that has is a huge ice bed in the center of the house, and at this time there is a girl sitting cross-legged on the ice bed, the girl's face is sometimes pale and sometimes flushed, beads of sweat from the forehead keep rolling down, a trace of steam emanates from the body, the eyes are slightly closed, the petite body trembles slightly, the delicate face is obviously a little distorted, obviously suffering from some great pain, at a certain moment, the girl sitting cross-legged suddenly opened her eyes, opened her mouth and exhaled a red breath, her trembling body gradually stopped, and there was no sweat oozing out of her forehead:

"This month is already the third episode, and it seems that the elixir refined by Grandpa has had little effect. With a sigh, the girl slowly stood up, stepped off the ice bed, opened the door and walked out, the girl was Yan'er.

In the second room of the courtyard, Qin Feng kicked it away, and then strode in, only to see that in the center of the room, a huge Dan furnace was placed there, and at this time, the flames inside were blazing, obviously refining some kind of medicine, and in front of the Dan furnace, an old man was there with his eyes closed, pinching the seal in his hand.

"Willow ......"

Qin Feng walked into the room, and was about to say something loudly, looking at the old man sitting there on the plate, he immediately swallowed the next words, and then gently walked to a table, and gently put down the two jars of wine in his hand, and after a while, the old man's eyes were closed, and he trembled slightly, and then slowly opened them, and a few seal knots formed in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he sucked out a few pills in the furnace, and slowly said:

"It's Xiaofeng! What did you just carry in your hand? Hurry up and bring it to Uncle Liu. ”

The man named Liu Bo smiled at Qin Feng slightly, and then waved his hand to come over.

"I heard Yan'er say that Uncle Liu has something to look for me, and I heard that it seems to be a coming-of-age ceremony. ”

Saying that, Qin Feng grabbed a jar of wine and took two steps in three steps, came to Uncle Liu, and handed the jar to Uncle Liu.

"Gurgling Purr"

Liu Bo took the wine jar, tore open the sealing mud, and poured a few sips:

"Good wine, or you kid is interested. ”

"I called you here to tell you about the coming-of-age ceremony, but it wasn't just a coming-of-age ceremony, but it was also a revelation. ”

"Enlightenment?"

Liu Bo poured a few more mouthfuls.

"Hmph, Brother Stinky Wind and Stinky Grandpa are talking bad about Yan'er behind your back, and Yan'er will ignore you in the future. ”

Just as Qin Feng was stunned, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a petite figure walked in, and said with words in his mouth.

"Haha, how can grandpa say I'm a good smoker?"

As he spoke, he was about to take another sip, but the raised wine jar suddenly froze in mid-air, and the old man looked at Yan'er's bloodless face, and said in a trembling voice:

"It's happening again!"

Qin Feng turned his head suddenly, looked at the girl's face, the smile on the young man's face disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly clenched his fists:

"Yan'er, I will definitely find a way to cure you, believe me, even if you lose all your ......"
