Chapter 40: Seeking Symbols

The village was old, not too big, five or six houses in all, but it was very clean, and although most of it was adobe walls, it was neatly stacked.

The path into the village is not wide, but it is very smooth, and it will not be smoked and dusty when you walk up.

Xiao Jiansheng followed the old man along the path into the village all the way to the east, in fact, he had a question to ask his master, what are the big people in the village, it is worth their detour.

It's just that the master looked excited, so he didn't ask that sentence.

After a while, a small courtyard appeared in front of me, the simple courtyard gate was closed, and a few peach trees were closed, and some peach blossom branches had already poked out of the wall.

Xiao Jiansheng looked at the peach trees, the peach trees were full of attractive flower bones, he sniffed lightly, the fragrance was refreshing, indescribably comfortable, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers came from this small courtyard.

Xiao Jiansheng began to guess that the owner of the peach tree in this courtyard must be particularly fond of peach blossoms.

The old man said as he walked, "Boy, do you know why I brought you here?"

Xiao Jiansheng frowned, and asked curiously, "Why, could it be that this master has some relationship with your apprentice?"

The old man glanced at the blackstone chessboard behind Xiao Jiansheng and said with a smile: "She is from the Du Barbarian Clan, an ancient race that cultivates mental power. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiansheng was greatly taken aback, and then he remembered many people and many things, the patriarch and the old man, Fu Yao, and those friendly people up and down the barbarians.

Xiao Jiansheng calmed down and said: "When I was in the barbarian clan, the clansmen said that the former patriarch went to the outside world in order to pursue a higher realm, could it be that this person who likes peach blossoms?"

The old man nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I've heard some things about you, and I can see through a plan I set up with Wan Gu back then, which is a bit of a small skill, and it can be regarded as giving Wuji Palace a little face, but don't be complacent." ”

Xiao Jiansheng was not proud, but suddenly became nervous.

That old patriarch is at the level of a divine master, and the cultivation skills of the barbarian clan have always been not passed on to outsiders, and his five-grade master is not above board, if he is recognized by the old patriarch, will people be angry, Xiao Jiansheng's heart suddenly felt like a bottomless pit.

Soon an old man and a young man came to the door of the small courtyard, probably because of nervousness, Xiao Jiansheng deliberately slowed down and walked behind his master, only showing his head to look at the situation in the courtyard.

The old man laughed proudly and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Soon, with a squeak, the door of the hut was pushed open, and Xiao Jiansheng saw through the gap in the courtyard door that an old woman with a thin figure, plain clothes, but a very noble complexion came out of the hut, and the old woman also twisted a brush stained with red dye in her hand, went down the stone steps, paused slightly, and then her face became cold.

At the moment when the courtyard door opened, the old man immediately restrained the smug look on his face, changed to a smile full of spring breeze, looked at the old woman in the door, and said with a smile: "Peach blossom, isn't it a surprise, I didn't expect the old man to come, right?"

Xiao Jiansheng actually listened to the word "peach blossom" called by his master, and he felt that his face was dull, but the old man was still smiling.

The old man sneered: "Accident, didn't you say that you would die and not get along?" You are such a big person, how can you be like a child, it doesn't count." ”

The old man laughed awkwardly and said, "Isn't this still dead?"

The old man smiled and was about to cross the low threshold.

peach blossom

The old man suddenly turned the paintbrush in his hand sideways, blocking the old man's way, and sneered: "Meng Lingxiao, the old body can warn you, this threshold is a door, if you can't get in, I'm afraid it will be a threshold, you had better think about it before you enter the door." ”

The old man looked at the crimson of the pen in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't enter, it's just that there is something more important than entering the door, Peach Blossom, you must be interested in this matter." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiansheng suddenly felt that he was going to be used as a gun, the person of the Heart Dao Master was really shameless, and sure enough, just when he was nervous, he was suddenly grabbed by Meng Lingxiao and mentioned in front of the old man Peach Blossom.

Meng Lingxiao said with a flattering smile: "It's this kid who entered the Borrowed Soldier Mountain with a little cleverness, and smashed the old man's good game of chess, not to mention this for the time being, I don't know what means this guy used, he actually stole the reading skills of the barbarians, the old man brought him to you today, the person has been brought, you look at it." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiansheng's already nervous heart trembled fiercely.

Xiao Jiansheng suddenly felt the aggressive gaze of the old man Peach Blossom, and immediately squeezed out a pitiful expression, gave the old man Peach Blossom a big gift, and said in a trembling whisper: "Junior Xiao Jiansheng, I have seen the senior of Peach Blossom." ”

Peach Blossom snorted, glared at Meng Lingxiao, and then looked at Xiao Jiansheng coldly, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, and finally his eyes fell on the center of Xiao Jiansheng's eyebrows, and before Xiao Jiansheng could react, he suddenly raised the brush in his hand and pointed at the center of his eyebrows.

The brush was cool in his mind, and when he got into time, Xiao Jiansheng only felt a mess in his mind, and the Guanxin Lake completely exploded, and the water of Wuyang Wuyang splashed everywhere as if he was frightened, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were rolling down continuously.

What made Xiao Jian angry the most was that the master was like a spectator throughout the whole process, with a smile on his face.

It wasn't until a few breaths later that Peach Blossom put down the brush, looked at Xiao Jiansheng and said with a smile: "Not only has you achieved the Five Grades Nian Master Realm, but also stole all the secret techniques of the barbarian clan, let's talk about it, how did you do it, it's okay to travel with Meng Lingxiao, it's not good, now the peach tree is short of fertilizer, I think you are quite suitable." ”

Xiao Jiansheng secretly exhaled a cold breath, thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and then talked about some of the experiences in the barbarian clan, in order to convince the old man, in the end, how to kill Mo Yusheng and remove a major harm for the barbarian clan, as a key emphasis.

After listening, the old man of Peach Blossom loosened his brows and asked lightly: "Why didn't you join the barbarian clan, could it be that Fuyao is not worthy of you?"

Xiao Jiansheng was embarrassed and didn't know how to reply.

Meng Lingxiao said happily: "It's my apprentice grandson who is not worthy of Fu Yao, and fortunately, this kid knows how many catties and taels he has, otherwise it would really be a flower inserted in cow." ”

Peach Blossom glanced at Meng Lingxiao and sneered: "Old guy, don't think that the old body is easy to fool, you are specially bringing your apprentice grandson to let the old body guide you, don't even think about this matter, let's solve the matter between us first." ”

Meng Lingxiao said with a smile: "It's okay, but no matter what, since this kid has learned the chanting techniques of the Dubarian clan, he can be counted as a member of half of the Dubarian clan, I don't think you will watch him embarrassed with those poor chanting techniques, right?"

Peach Blossom didn't respond, just snorted coldly and let go of the door and turned away.

Meng Lingxiao raised his head, glanced at the peach branch a few times, and then strode to follow.

Xiao Jiansheng was just about to follow up, but Meng Lingxiao glared at him, and he was obedient

obediently retreated, and watched his master follow behind the old man Peach Blossom, and the two entered the house.

Xiao Jiansheng, who had nothing to do, lingered outside the door.

Almost an hour later, Meng Lingxiao walked out, chewing a piece of peach blossom cake as he walked, and touched his mouth after eating, looking like he was full of food and drink.

After a while, the old man of Peach Blossom also walked out, looked at Xiao Jiansheng and smiled gently: "Actually, when you crushed the peach blossom talisman that day, the old body guessed a little bit of the truth, if it weren't for your kindness to the barbarians, Fu Yao would naturally not give you the peach blossom talisman, or rather, Fu Yao has already regarded you as a person in mind, no matter what, since you have learned, the old body can't bear to erase it, I hope you can go to the level of the Divine Mind Master, and it is not in vain that the barbarians have worked hard." ”

Finally, Xiao Jiansheng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the old man Peach Blossom again.

"However, if you want the old body to guide you through the maze, don't be delusional now. The old man of Peach Blossom glanced at Meng Lingxiao, looked into the distance again, sighed and said: "There are nine stone statues at the head of Tianfu City, which day can stand your own stone statues on the head of the city, and which day the old body will help you again, how?"

Xiao Jiansheng nodded calmly, in fact, he didn't expect it, so he couldn't talk about disappointment, if it wasn't for the master's obstruction, he wouldn't have thought that the old man Peach Blossom was also in the Sage Domain, as for whether he could achieve the Divine Mind Master, he had no idea at all now, since he learned it by chance, he couldn't force it.

Peach Blossom is a quiet person, usually the door is basically not open, let alone to see guests, today is an exception, so at this time the old man has the intention of sending guests.

Meng Lingxiao was very interested in taking Xiao Jiansheng and was about to leave, just after walking a few steps, Xiao Jiansheng suddenly turned around, looked at the old man of Peach Blossom and said, "The junior wants to ask for a peach blossom talisman." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Do you want to draw your own talismans after researching?"

Xiao Jiansheng didn't hide his thoughts, and quickly nodded.

The old man of peach blossoms took one in his hand, and a piece of rice paper full of peach blossoms floated in the room, and it fell lightly between Xiao Jiansheng's hands, and said in a faint voice: "It's okay to observe, but it's difficult to learn to draw, even if you don't have the mental power of the Divine Mind Master, even if it is tangible, it is difficult to become a talisman, after all, the Five Rank Nian Master seems to be only one step away from the Divine Mind Master, but this gap is comparable to your cultivation of the Six Realms until the Ancestral Realm, which is difficult to compare with the day." ”

Xiao Jiansheng didn't think about it, smiled at the old man Peach Blossom, put away the paper, and followed Meng Lingxiao.

As soon as the two of them left the small courtyard of the old man Peach Blossom, Xiao Jiansheng looked at the energetic Meng Lingxiao and said, "Shigong's means are really high, but I don't know how Shigong plans to choose between Old Man Peach Blossom and Wan Gu?"

Immediately, Meng Lingxiao was stunned and glared at Xiao Jiansheng fiercely.

Sure enough, after a while, the courtyard door opened again.

Meng Lingxiao left Peach Blossom Village with Xiao Jian as if he had escaped.

Under an old tree, the big black bull seemed to be impatient to wait, and as soon as the old and the young appeared, the big black bull let out an angry roar.

Xiao Jiansheng inevitably added grass and water and wine, and finally took the big iron comb to comb the fur of the big black cow comfortably, and the big black cow set up the chariot and swayed away.

Away from Peach Blossom Village, the ox cart went straight to Tianfu City.

Xiao Jiansheng was in charge of catching the car, Meng Lingxiao sat with his eyes closed gently as if he was asleep, as if he was not sleepy, and at some point, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the black stone chessboard.
