Next, there is the characteristic laughter of two men, something that goes without words.

Then, the two made a pot of flower tea, drank enough, and set off early in the morning.

The ox cart traveled slowly, detoured for dozens of miles, and finally found a wooden bridge to cross the river, and the exhausted big black bull was lured by Xiao Jiansheng until noon, and stopped to rest in a place called Furong Town.

Furong Town is not big, scattered hundreds of households, there are a few small inns on the side of the road, specializing in those small businesses that pass by, the signboard is old, and it is known at a glance that it is the kind of half-dead business.

But it is this kind of inconspicuous place, selling a kind of tea called hibiscus, it is said that drinking too much to live a long life and be strong, as for the authenticity, it is impossible to verify, but everyone here can indeed be over 90 years old.

In an inn named "Hui'an", Xiao Jiansheng picked up the best guest rooms and asked for two, one for the master to settle down, and one for him and Zhao Lingxue to share.

The inn is very simple, it seems to be a dozing place, the boss is an old couple, and he looks kind, but Xiao Jiansheng still has a little more heart. At noon, the two asked for a cage of meat buns, two bowls of vegetable soup, a few side dishes made from local wild vegetables, and their own drinks.

The two chatted with a pot of wine, chatting until late afternoon, then returned to the inn, in Meng Lingxiao's room, Xiao Jiansheng called a pot of hibiscus tea, said to taste it, and after the tea was served, he found out that it was actually the local old well water soaked in a few sun-dried hibiscus flowers.

Xiao Jiansheng shouted that he was fooled, so he went to the shopkeeper's theory, ready to ask for the tea money, and it was a few pennies anyway, after Xiao Jiansheng left, he saw Meng Lingxiao smile and blew at the hibiscus flower,

Strange to say, the flower has already withered and lost its color when the tea is brewed, but after a few breaths, the flower seems to be in full bloom, the petals slowly spread on the surface of the water, and the color of one place between the flowers dyes a glass of water red.

Soon, Xiao Jiansheng got the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper looked at the blood-red tea and smiled without speaking, let alone have the intention of paying money, so Meng Lingxiao talked to him.

The shopkeeper is called Qian Long, more than eighty years old, speaking of this hibiscus tea, his eyes flashed, the old man smiled: "If you want to make high-quality hibiscus tea, there are only three wells of water available, and there is one in our backyard, this old well water is not only suitable for making tea, washing your face and bathing are good things, not to mention far away, just say that our aunt-in-law, more than eighty, at first glance, the complexion is as tender as that little lady, the two guest officers said strange?"

Meng Lingxiao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not strange, why don't you let the old man see the insider?"

Qian Long laughed dryly, secretly looked at the guy who was older than him with an evil smile on his face, and left in a huff, after Qian Long left, Meng Lingxiao said: "Nonsense, I think the old man doesn't know, the high-quality hibiscus tea is golden, from the dragon clan." ”

Xiao Jiansheng was curious: "Shigong has drunk?"

Meng Lingxiao smiled proudly: "On the day of your accident, the old man was drinking tea. ”

Speaking of those things, Xiao Jiansheng immediately lost his mood, picked up the teacup and tasted a sip of hibiscus tea, smashed his tongue, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness, he seemed to be a little unaccustomed to drinking, so he replaced the tea with rice wine.

Meng Lingxiao said: "Drinking this hibiscus tea is like practice, and cultivation naturally emphasizes the deep flow of still water, and practice, don't ask about the future." ”

It seems to be very reasonable, even Meng Lingxiao himself felt that these words were very meaningful, and he laughed very loudly, but Xiao Jiansheng smiled and said: "You and tea, I am guilty, don't want Meng Lingxiao to be a man." ”

Meng Lingxiao glared and said, "What bullshit, my master is not thin on you, right?"

Xiao Jiansheng snorted wine

"Where is the thickness, can you guide me to practice? But you have invited me to a packed meal, don't be surprised I don't know you have money in your pocket." ”

Meng Lingxiao lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "You can't be a man. ”

Xiao Jiansheng said bitterly: "In addition to spending my money, what else have you thought about me, old Mengtou?"

Meng Lingxiao faintly reminisced, and seemed to feel that there was some reason, so he happily said: "Repair for a few days, set off to rush back to Wuji Palace on the next day, and use all the power of Wuji Palace to let you and Zhao Lingxue get married, how about it?"

Xiao Jiansheng's face turned red instantly, like tea in the cup, and he whispered: "It's better not to make a big fuss, before that, I want to go to the Fengtian Dynasty and know Zhao Mingying, people have raised such a big thing, the general meaning." ”

Meng Lingxiao spat out a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I suggest you don't touch that brow, Zhao Mingying naturally won't take a fancy to a guy like you." ”

"It doesn't matter if you look at it or not, it's limited to notification, and everything else doesn't matter. Xiao Jiansheng smiled gloomily: "Then go north again to find her mother." ”

Meng Lingxiao was surprised: "The idea is very good, but according to Ning Tieshoe's meaning, you are limited to marriage, and she can't stay with you yet." ”

Xiao Jiansheng stood up abruptly and said, "Why?"

Meng Lingxiao pressed his hand, motioned for Xiao Jiansheng to sit down, and then said: "Ning Tieshoe didn't say the reason, but I guess it should be related to the spiritual domain, if you want to completely wipe out the spiritual domain, her help is indispensable, just imagine, even the two elders of Shoutiannu can't do it, just rely on you, you still need to grow to a height, in this case, the two of them are always separated, each cultivating their own good, and they are tired of being together all day long, in case there is a little cub, and they also need to cultivate a fart." ”

Xiao Jiansheng didn't know whether Shigong's analysis was reasonable, so he just nodded mechanically.

Meng Lingxiao continued: "It is not only to help, but also to join forces, so naturally it is necessary to combine strongly, so in the next time, you go back to Wuji Palace for retreat, how about the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land? As for the outside affairs, I think Wuji Palace can handle it for the time being." ”

Xiao Jiansheng thought for a moment and said: "Retreat is almost the same as burying alive, I don't do this kind of thing, in fact, in my opinion, the role of retreat is far less than the experience in battle, killing one person will be one point stronger, killing thousands of people to become demons, killing ten thousand people to become Buddhas, killing ten thousand people to become saints." ”

Meng Lingxiao smiled faintly: "If this is heard by the Buddha, his old man will be unhappy." ”

Xiao Jiansheng asked seriously, "Is there really a Buddha?"

Meng Lingxiao nodded, and said: "The avenue is immeasurable, the cultivation to the depths is the Buddha, or the sage, everything can reach the other side to the extreme, and the reader can also become holy if he reads too much. ”

Unconsciously, Xiao Jiansheng had already drunk half a jar of rice wine, according to usual, this amount is not much, but because of his mood, today he had a strong drunkenness, and he felt that he was about to lose his words, so he turned his wine glass upside down and prepared to return to the guest room.

Meng Lingxiao rolled his eyes and said: "If you don't want to worry about it, hurry up and make raw rice and mature rice." ”

Xiao Jiansheng hurriedly escaped, leaned against the door and gasped for a while, and said to himself: "It's difficult, when I left the extreme north, Su Jianning also said it secretly. ”

Xiao Jiansheng returned to his residence and carefully pushed open the door.

I don't know when, Zhao Lingxue has woken up, she is half-leaning on the quilt and pillow and closing her eyes in a daze, she looks very weak, but her face is much better, maybe because of the spiritual root entering the body, the injuries on her body are getting better quickly, it seems that there will be three or five more days

Can be healed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiansheng was a little melancholy, his steps approached Zhao Lingxue a little unnaturally, looked at her face and asked in a low voice, "How much do you remember about that night?"

Zhao Lingxue answered the question, and said coldly: "There is another place, I didn't go, I will leave tomorrow, you accompany me." ”

Xiao Jiansheng glanced at Zhao Lingxue's white and miserable face, and said: "Not tomorrow, you still need to cultivate for a few days, after three days, I will accompany you wherever you want, whatever you want." ”

Zhao Lingxue suddenly opened her eyes and said slightly angrily: "Three days is too long, the Lord of the Deity can't wait that long, just tomorrow." ”

Xiao Jiansheng stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Zhao Lingxue: "How about two days?"

Zhao Lingxue glared at Xiao Jiansheng and said, "Otherwise, now." ”

Xiao Jiansheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Then follow you and set off tomorrow." ”

Worried that Zhao Lingxue would make another excessive move, next, Xiao Jiansheng didn't dare to leave this room, even the evening meal was sent by Meng Lingxiao, Xiao Jiansheng had a gap between sending off his master, the two chatted a few times, Meng Lingxiao sighed and left.

Dinner was unprecedentedly rich, two dishes and two soups, and a pot of hibiscus tea.

Zhao Lingxue was really hungry, so she ate herself first, and then left some leftovers for Xiao Jiansheng, looking at Zhao Lingxue's provocative gaze, Xiao Jiansheng ate with relish, and finally brushed the bowl with water.

After Xiao Jiansheng wiped his mouth clean, Zhao Lingxue said: "In a while, the Lord of the Buddha will pass on your spiritual root cultivation method." ”

Xiao Jiansheng wanted to refuse immediately, but looking at Zhao Lingxue's cold face, he immediately nodded and thought, "You are still very weak now, and you won't wait for you to recover, anyway, I have always been by your side, and I am not in a hurry." ”

Zhao Lingxue said angrily: "You are not in a hurry, the Lord of the Deity is in a hurry, you can't learn if you don't want to, after you have learned, return to the Wuji Palace and continue to sow the spiritual root, and then the Lord of the Deity will seal your golden throne." ”

Xiao Jiansheng pretended to be flattered, and said with a smile: "Thank you for Lord Ling's cultivation. ”

The night was getting darker, and there was no light in the room, and the moonlight outside poured in through the window, and a rough outline could be faintly distinguished.

Both of them lay down, Zhao Lingxue slept on the bed, Xiao Jiansheng made a bunk, although he felt a little awkward, but thinking of being able to get close to her a little bit, Xiao Jiansheng was already very satisfied, but he suddenly had the same room with her, he couldn't sleep a little, and his eyes were always slightly squinted.

Before you know it, the night is dark.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Lingxue got up on the bed, sat down in a precarious position and whispered, "You come here." ”

Xiao Jiansheng snorted, feeling that something was wrong, but he still walked over without hesitation, stood beside the bed, and waited for the order to continue.

Zhao Lingxue sneered: "Empty your mind, you can't resist." ”

Xiao Jiansheng sighed secretly, and could only do so.

After he sat down in front of Zhao Lingxue, suddenly a hand that was no longer gentle was on top of his head, Xiao Jiansheng frowned, and immediately after, a warm thing began to try to pour into his mind, because he had seen it before, he could immediately confirm that these things were spiritual roots.

At first, Xiao Jiansheng did empty his mind and let those spiritual roots enter his body, but he soon found that those spiritual roots did not enter his mind alone, but divided into a part and were about to rush into the Heart Lake.

The sudden change made Xiao Jiansheng immediately alert, he suddenly turned around and only grabbed Zhao Lingxue's arm, his eyes looked at her eyes coldly, and asked in a low voice, "You are not her, who is it?"
