Hou Liao had already guessed that he was the "little gentleman" who killed Gong Lang in the Xiangmur Kingdom, and if the sect master Meng Yingqiu ordered him to say something like that, other well-informed people might not recognize him. Baoyu's continued stay in the Ba Mu Kingdom may be too conspicuous, this is not the result he wants, otherwise he would not have given himself another name of "Li Lu".

On the night after the feast, when Baoyu was resting in the quiet room, Gongzi Zhonglan and Huiliang visited the door one after another, claiming that they were to express their admiration and to do everything possible to thank Peng Keng's father for saving them. Baoyu couldn't guess what these two sons wanted to do?

On the one hand, it is to have a relationship with him, the miracle doctor, and try to buy it if it can be bought, and try to make friends if it can't be bought. On the other hand, the more important purpose was to find out the true physical condition of Hou Xia, to find out if the monarch was really okay, or how long he could live? They should all have very valuable gifts, and Baoyu certainly didn't see these two princes.

As if she had expected such a thing, Hou Liao sent a team of sergeants to stand guard outside the door of Baoyu's ashram. Without Baoyu opening his mouth, someone took the initiative to tell the two sons who came one after another: "Lord Peng Keng's family has worked very hard to regulate the body of the monarch during the day, and he needs to meditate and cultivate his spirit at this moment." No one is allowed to disturb you, and we will talk about it tomorrow. ”

The two sons wanted to find another chance to get close to Baoyu, but early the next morning, Baoyu left with Xiaotian, and then he stayed in the forbidden land for three days. During these three days, the monarch ordered that no one should leave, and Baoyu was the only one who walked out of the forbidden land, and the news of anything that happened in the forbidden land could not be spread for the time being.

When Baoyu left the Pengshan Forbidden Land, he had two more brands on his body, one was a token of the state of the country of Ba that the monarch publicly granted him, and the other was a private token that the monarch gave him privately and Hou Di himself. Baoyu also has the national work token of the Xiangmuro country, as well as the token of the star of Chiwangqiu that is known at the checkpoints of all countries in Bayuan.

He himself felt a little crying and laughing, this trip to Bayuan was also to collect all kinds of brands? If all the national industrial tokens of the five countries of Bayuan were collected, would there be any special gains?

Thinking so in his heart, he did not stop at all, and tried to hide his tracks as much as possible through the mountains, and went straight to the Golden Bell Pass in the treacherous mountains, where he had newly acquired a fief in the country of Bamuro. Xiao Tian left so quickly, as if he was still reluctant, this dog had a very good impression of Uncle Dao, and he had already regarded the general as a friend, and its impression of Xiao Miao was not good at first, but then it became more and more special.

Xiao Tian couldn't help but look back at the forbidden land of Pengshan from a high place. Baoyu, of course, knew what it was thinking, and said with a smile, "Let's go quickly! It's like we're going to come back to Shanshui City sooner or later. ”

Baoyu and Xiaotian hurried at full speed in the deep mountains, and tried not to leave any traces, this is something they have been familiar with since childhood, of course, the speed is very fast, set off at dawn, and arrived outside the long canyon before noon. Baoyu did not stay, and directly sacrificed a golden flower, with a strange fragrance and a golden light cover. Took Xiaotian straight through.

Passing through the poisonous mist and entering the deep valley like a sinkhole, I saw two golden flowers flying in the air at a glance, and then I saw two wild mastiffs controlling two magic weapons in the valley, as if they were fighting and playing with each other. Of course, the mastiff also saw Baoyu and Xiaotian, only to hear one of the mastiffs immediately shout, "Stop!"

The golden flower was put away as a golden ball the size of a finger's belly, hidden in the long mane of the mad mastiff, and it was impossible to see it. But this one drinks. But Baoyu, especially Xiaotian, was stunned. Xiao Tian immediately rushed over and screamed at the wild mastiff. And the other mad mastiff actually spoke: "Xiaotian, you can't speak yet!"

It was the first time Xiao Tian had seen other dogs in the world who claimed to be able to speak, and the two words they said were the same as the last time everyone entered the valley, and Baoyu also chatted with these two mastiffs in private for a long time. The two mastiffs understood the meaning of some of the words. At this moment, he actually spoke up.

Of course, Baoyu was very happy, and walked over and smiled: "Very good, very good, you guys learn very fast!"

The two mastiffs also nodded together: "Very good, very good, we learn very fast!"

Xiaotian on the side listened to it in his ears, and he only had envy. In fact, it is about the mastery of speech. Xiao Tian can't say it except for himself, and he understands much more than the two mastiffs. But not being able to speak is the difference in cultivation. It's useless to be in a hurry.

Baoyu sat down and talked a lot to the two mastiffs. Mastiff is not only talking to Baoyu, but also learning more from him. It's a bit like babies learning to speak, but their intelligence is no less than that of adults, and they are very precise and clear about the language they have mastered, but the meaning is far from rich.

Although the cultivation of these two mastiffs is high, their ability to understand and describe everything is still limited by their knowledge after all, and their thoughts are simply like babies. After chatting, they actually learned to take the initiative to ask questions and rush to answer. Xiaotian couldn't help but interject on the side, but all he made was a dog's bark.

Baoyu could understand what Xiao Tian meant, and the two-headed mastiff could understand a little, so he also talked to Xiao Tian from time to time. It's an interesting scene, where people talk to dogs, dogs talk to people, and dogs talk to people. Of course, the mastiff who spoke to someone for the first time was very excited, and he couldn't even hold back his questions, but fortunately, everyone had supernatural cultivation in his body, and he didn't feel too tired, so he chatted until the next morning.

Never in his life, Baoyu had never said so much at once, and he had to teach and explain to the two-headed mastiff. Not only that, but he also drew hundreds of runes on the ground, which correspond to the words in the language. This is when he accompanied Cangjie on the tour, he learned from Hou Gang.

These two mastiffs, who had just learned to speak, were also one of the first dogs to learn to read and write, and Xiao Tian was the one who preceded them. Mastiffs are not only learning to speak, but they are also learning many things in this world that they have never seen or even understood before.

Seeing that Baoyu drew a lot of runes, a wild mastiff suddenly said, "There is also here, the hole above." The other mastiff added, "There are runes in the cave, we don't know them." ”

There is a hidden cave in the cliff four zhang high from where the ancient vine takes root, which is the nest where the two mastiffs live, and about two zhang above this hole, there is another larger cave, but standing in the valley, you can't see the situation above. The cliffs in this area are already densely porous, and Baoyu didn't pay much attention to it, and after being reminded by the two-headed mastiff, of course he had to go up and have a look.

Climb the cliff six or seven feet high along the ancient vines, and the entrance to the cave is about two people wide, so you can stand up straight and walk in. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary cave, but it is very spacious and flat not far from entering, and it is obviously a cave hall that has been hewn by hand. Next to this cave hall, another stone room was excavated, just like the meditation room during the usual retreat.

And on the stone wall of the cave hall, there is a very strange rune engraved. If Baoyu hadn't seen Cangjie, he might have just thought of it as an unknown totem, but he now knew how to figure out its meaning and what kind of message the person who carved the rune was trying to convey in the first place.

This rune has two parts, the left and right parts, the pattern engraved on the left is obviously a tree, and the pattern on the right is also somewhat familiar. He saw that Hougang had drawn a similar rune, which represented a pig, but this pig sat on the ground and threw out a long nose, which was the "elephant" in the mountains.

Baoyu has never seen such a beast as the "elephant" with his own eyes, and it is said that elephants have occasionally appeared in the wilderness around Ba Yuan, but they are rare. And the mountain god introduced him, and he also showed it with divine thoughts. Cangjie once explained to Baoyu how he made words, sometimes creating a rune to represent something, but also a unique syllable. Then such a rune can often also represent other meanings of the same syllable.

Then the rune in front of him can not only represent some kind of beast, but also represent abstract meanings such as phenomena, images, and appearances. He sat in front of the stone wall engraved with runes, closed his eyes and carefully sensed the primordial spirit, but he noticed a very faint divine thought.

This rune must have been left by a certain senior master, and it may represent a unique mark belonging to him, and this senior had at least seven realms of cultivation at that time, otherwise it would be impossible to leave a divine thought in the external object so that future generations could interpret it. But the age is too long, and the mana of the condensed divine thoughts has been dissipated, leaving only a very faint divine thought, that is, Baoyu's divine sense is extremely keen, and it can sense a trace.

This divine thought did not convey a very complicated message, and only a towering giant tree was faintly visible in the primordial spirit. Baoyu stared for a long time, but found nothing else. It seems that a long time ago, there was a master who was in retreat here, and then he left here and disappeared, because there was nothing left in this cave, let alone his bones.

Baoyu asked the two mastiffs again - what was the origin of this cave? The two mastiffs didn't know what was going on, they couldn't remember how long they had lived here or how they had come here in the first place. But from the time they could remember, the cave was empty, except for the strange pattern on the stone wall.

Baoyu left the cave again and returned to the bottom of the cliff, standing by the ancient vine and looking at the hidden cave entrance above. This ancient vine has been growing here for three hundred years, and the rune ruins in the cave seem to be as old. So is it possible that 300 years ago, a master traveled here, practiced in retreat, and planted a golden bell vine with his own hands?

Taniguchi is shrouded in poisonous mist, and it is impossible for ordinary people to enter here. And the vitality and aura in this valley is even no less than the Pengshan Forbidden Land where the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree grows, and it is indeed a good place for retreat and cultivation. However, the cliffs in this area are densely porous and inhabited by many flying snakes. The poisonous mist does not drift in because of the unique terrain, but the Flying Serpent can enter the valley completely.

However, there is not a single flying snake in the valley now, and it is because of the existence of this strange ancient vine that its breath drives away the flying snake. I think that when the master discovered this place, he may have deliberately transplanted the golden bell vine from the golden bell and cultivated it carefully, thus creating this piece of Qingxiu Cave Mansion outside the world.

Or this ancient vine was not planted by the master's hand, it grew under the cliff at that time, and the master cultivated by its side every day, and also nourished and cultivated it with ** strength. After the master left, this ancient vine has grown to this day, and gradually has a psychic omen.

But all this is just Baoyu's speculation, and it is neither possible to confirm nor to ask anyone. If there wasn't a single strange rune left in the cave, Baoyu wouldn't have gotten any information. At the same time, Baoyu couldn't help but think of Cangjie's vow, and realized more deeply - why did Cangjie's predecessors leave a written inheritance for the world?

For example, what happened in this place, even if it was a Seven Realm master, after the mana of the Imperial Divine Thought left by him dissipated, future generations would not be able to know the message that this senior wanted to convey. If it weren't for the rune left behind, Baoyu wouldn't even know that such a master had cultivated here, and the ancient vine psychic was probably related to it.

If that master can leave a more detailed written record, then even if Baoyu doesn't have supernatural powers, he will know what happened here, and what does that senior want to tell future generations?

Baoyu stood under the ancient vine and sighed for a long time, then took out a jade box from his arms and said to the two mastiffs: "This ancient vine once accompanied a senior master to cultivate, and after hundreds of years, it will be psychic. The last thing I took was the spiritual gathering of its manifestations, and now it is restored to its original form. This is a psychic vine, and it can be cultivated like you in the future. Since it is guarding you, you must also guard it well. ”

As he spoke, he opened the jade box, and put the soil mixed with the spring of eternal clarity in the box under the roots of the ancient vines, and the strange small five-flowered ginseng immediately turned into a golden light and disappeared into the ground. Gu Teng didn't seem to have changed, but there was a subtle sense in Baoyu's consciousness, as if a person had regained consciousness from a deep sleep, not only exuding a comfortable and cheerful mood, but also accompanied by a certain sense of gratitude.

On this day, Baoyu sat under the ancient vine, with two wild mastiffs and a small flower dog sitting in front of him, and he explained to them the wonders of the cultivation realm, and what he said was his own perception since cultivation, which was also a very special festival. As for how much the two-headed mastiff can understand, it depends on their own creation, and some of the content that they can't understand for the time being can be left for the future to slowly understand.

Baoyu did not introduce a higher realm cultivation, because his current cultivation was the same as that of the two-headed mastiff, and it was only the consummation of the four realms and nine turns. But he knew much more than the two-headed mastiffs, and he also reminded them of the difficulties and dangers they might face in the future when they broke through the Five Realms. They need to practice in retreat under the protection of ancient vines and protect each other's Dharma.

The two mastiffs are very clever and already know that this is now Baoyu's fief - Baoyu finally made them understand what "fief" means, so they are the "people" that Baoyu left here to protect the fiefdom. The two mastiffs also asked Baoyu what their names should be, and asked Baoyu to help them name them.

Baoyu smiled and asked, "What do you want to call yourself?"

The two mastiffs thought about it for a long time, and really came up with a name for themselves, the male mastiff is called Fujijin, and the female mastiff is called Fujihua. Because they have been cultivating beside this ancient vine, they have obtained the golden flower as a magic weapon. As such, they are also equivalent to giving themselves the surname Vine. If it is according to Baoyu's title here, they can also be called Peng Tengjin and Peng Tenghua. Or Peng Jin and Peng Hua.

With the cultivation of rattan gold and rattan flowers, as long as you understand the meaning, it is not difficult to speak. However, they hadn't comprehended the method of transforming into a human form before, and if they wanted to condense the demon pill and transform into a human form, they still needed to cultivate from scratch, and it would take time to do it.

The reason why Baoyu is in a hurry to return to this place is not only to let the spirit creature return to the original body of the ancient vine, but also because of the two-headed mastiff.

Fujijin and Fujika were originally ignorant demon beasts in the mountains and wilderness, and they had been guarding this ancient vine in their cultivation, and they had never seen anyone outside. And half a month ago. Someone broke into the area and disturbed them, and tried to take the ancient vine. If Baoyu wasn't there at the time, then these two demon beasts would probably take the initiative to attack when they saw people again in the future.

Baoyu grew up in the wilderness. Learn a lot about the habits of animals. Beasts that have been disturbed or injured by people will either stay away when they see people again, or they may attack on their own initiative. And these two powerful demon beasts are not afraid of ordinary people.

If they see people in the Pengshan in the future, they will attack with hostility. Then there will be two very terrifying monsters in this area, which will not only cause the death and injury of innocent people, but they themselves will not have a good end, and they will definitely attract high-ranking people to kill. There is always a legend that a murderous monster once appeared in the mountains and wilderness. Probably there are similar reasons.

Therefore, Baoyu had to come back again, find these two mastiffs, explain things and reasoning clearly, and also tell them how to practice in the future. While teaching them to speak and talking to them at the same time, Baoyu also put a lot of effort into it, and couldn't help but feel that if there were already six realms of cultivation, things would be much simpler, and with the Divine Mind Heart Seal, a lot of complex information could be conveyed, even including many things that could not be explained by words.

Baoyu told the vine gold and the vine flower that they should never leave this area until they had mastered the way of transformation, at least it was safe here. If one day they can walk in human form, they might as well go out and see the world, but don't reveal their identities easily. If someone asks who they are, they can claim to be the guardians of the fiefdom for Lord Peng Keng, and at the same time they can report their names.

Even if they go out to see the world, they should not leave this place too far or too long, because this is their cultivation cave, and they have to protect the ancient vine. Baoyu is about to leave, and will come back in the future, and then come back to see their practice. Baoyu is not only talking about cultivation, he is talking about the path of cultivation that he has realized - cultivation.

At this time, this is a new concept and vocabulary, and Baoyu also drew these two "characters" on the ground.

After saying this, the night in the mountains fell again, and Baoyu taught the two mastiffs too many things in the past two days, so he let them digest and experience them on their own. And Baoyu himself climbed the cave in the cliff to sit down, which was also the retreat place of a certain master hundreds of years ago, and he seemed to have a special feeling and experience when he practiced here.
