Louvre
Following Chongling, Du Ruo walked out of the guest room, and what appeared in front of him was a circular corridor, with a wooden pillar supporting it every half a zhang on the edge, but the red paint on the wooden pillar had already peeled off, but it was not ugly, and there was a quaint atmosphere. At the end of the cloister is an arch, and the huge tripod carved on the arch is different from the carvings of cranes, dragons and phoenixes, and mythical beasts in other Taoist temples.
Out of the arch, there is a square. The road under his feet is still paved with bluestone slabs, but the stone slabs are carved with complex patterns, and there is a sense of déjà vu when you look closely, "This should be a formation, right?" Du Ruo muttered.
"Huh?" Chongling stopped and looked at Du Ruo in disbelief, "You actually know that this is a formation?"
"But this shouldn't be a complete formation, right?" Du Ruo squatted down and replied while stroking the formation. But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be some... Some are different from the past, you must know that she has been living the most ordinary life in Luofu Mountain in the past two years, and the contact is just some ordinary people, but how do you know that this pattern under your feet is an incomplete formation?
"The girl is right, this formation was originally an ancient array, but it is a pity that it has only been passed down to this day. Although Chongling was surprised, he still suppressed his curiosity and replied. The top priority is to take her to see the master, and with the master's cultivation and knowledge, she will definitely know the reason for this.
"Girl, please go here, Master has been waiting for a long time. Finding that Du Ruo was still stroking the formation pattern thoughtfully, Chongling had no choice but to interrupt her and signal her to continue.
Du Ruo stood up and patted the dust on his hands, nodded to Chongling, and continued to follow him.
At the end of the square, there is a stone bridge, which is also carved with complex patterns. At the end of the stone bridge is the main hall of the Luofu faction. Du Ruo looked around and found that this was the highest peak of Luofu Mountain, but he usually didn't see the Taoist temple in the distance, could it be that he was wrong?
When Xuan Qingzhen first saw Du Ruo at the bottom of the cliff, he felt that she was different from ordinary people, although her breath was dying, but there was no wound on her body, but the bloodstains on her body, the surrounding rubble and the crushed weeds did indicate that she fell off the cliff, could it be some chance. He remembered that he once saw a kind of spiritual fruit in an ancient book, which can make the body immortal and immortal after eating, even after death, the corpse will not decay, isn't this girl having such an opportunity?
When Du Ruo gave a salute to Xuan Qing Zhenren and looked up, the moment the two made eye contact, Xuan Qing Zhenren's heart jumped violently, and the degree of surprise even exceeded that of Chongling at that time. These eyes, the ancient water has no waves, the first time you see it, it makes people feel eternal, such a state of mind is afraid that the ancestor of Ge Xian Weng can only see it when he is alive. Xuan Qingzhen couldn't hold back his curiosity, and returned the salute to Du Ruo: "Why did the girl faint at the bottom of the cliff at the back of this Luofu Mountain?"
"I was originally picking a century-old wild ginseng on the edge of the cliff, but I didn't know that there was an accident and fell to the bottom of the cliff, but fortunately the real person rescued it in time, otherwise Du Ruo would be more auspicious today. "After finishing speaking, you have to kneel down and worship the Xuan Qing people.
Xuan Qingzhen hugged Du Ruo and said: "It is the duty of our monks to cure the disease and save people, why does the girl have to make such a big gift, dare to ask the girl if she is a villager of this Luofu Mountain Medicine Picking Village?"
"Yes," Du Ruo nodded.
"I remember that there are a lot of herbs in the front mountain of Luofu, why did you come to this miasma-filled back mountain with rugged mountain roads to collect medicines?"
"Just because my grandmother has been sick in bed for many days, I originally planned to pick that ginseng and go to the town below the mountain to exchange some money and hire a doctor for my grandmother, but this..."
Xuan Qingzhen has already understood, "Girl, don't worry, my Luofu faction is best at alchemy and medicine, practicing medicine and saving people, and I will ask the apprentice to go down the mountain with the girl in a while." ”
After Du Ruo heard this, he wanted to bow down to Xuan Qingzhen again, but this time Xuan Qingzhen did not stop her, and she received three slaps on the head. In fact, if Xuan Qingzhen knew Du Ruo's true identity, he would not dare to accept this gift even if he had 10,000 guts.
After Du Ruo finished saluting, Xuan Qingzhen's face suddenly became serious, and his tone became solemn, "Girl, now I want to ask you a few questions, which involve the secrets of my Luofu faction, please be sure to answer honestly." Have you ever eaten a fruit that is bright in color, but the flesh has no taste and turns into water in your mouth?"
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, she had been in Luofu Mountain for more than two years, and she had never eaten this kind of fruit. "Dao Chief, I have been here in Luofu Mountain for more than two years, and I have never seen the kind of fruit you mentioned, but I had amnesia two years ago, and I don't know if I had eaten this kind of fruit before that. ”
"I don't know if it's convenient for the girl, Poor Dao wants to take the pulse of the girl. ”
Du Ruo stretched out his hand, and waited for Xuan Qingzhen to finish taking the pulse, but did not find any abnormality in her body, and it was recorded in the classics that the connections of people who ate that kind of spiritual fruit would be very different from ordinary people, and this girl obviously had other opportunities. However, at the same time, he found that Du Ruo was gifted and intelligent in cultivation, even better than the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of other major sects. If she can be brought under her command, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to the revitalization of the Luofu faction. I made up my mind right away. So he said, "I wonder if the girl has ever heard of cultivating the Tao?"
"I've heard of it, but Du Ruo is just a mortal and doesn't understand. But when I came here today, if I didn't guess wrong, this Luofu sect is an unborn cultivation sect. Du Ruo just took this opportunity to talk about the doubts in his heart.
Xuan Qingzhen nodded and said: "Yes, since the ancestor held Puzi to open the mountain and establish a faction, this sect has been in this Luofu Mountain for nearly a thousand years, but now the disciples are withered, and the disciples are all mediocre, it is difficult to reproduce the glory of the day" Speaking of this, Xuan Qingzhen sighed. If it weren't for the loss of the Danding, the Luofu faction would not have fallen to this point. "It's not a secret, the poor road saw that the girl was talented, so he had a selfish heart, and wanted to keep the girl to practice in this Luofu Mountain, although the Luofu faction is not a famous faction, but it also has a profound heritage and inheritance of orthodoxy. ”
Du Ruo was originally exiled to this Luofu Mountain, and it was the same wherever she stayed, not to mention that the master and apprentice in front of her were her own life-saving benefactors, but the only thing she couldn't rest assured about was her grandmother. Although she has always looked down on the fate between people, this cause and effect is about to end. "I don't know if the real person can give Du Ruo a few years, the grandmother at home is afraid that time is running out, although the two of us are not related by blood, but they depend on each other in this Luofu Mountain, I want to wait for her to return to the mountain for a hundred years before going up the mountain......"
A few years of mortal life are nothing more than a cloud of smoke for cultivators, and this is Du Ruo's responsibility. Therefore, he agreed to Du Ruo, and asked his eldest disciple Chongling to bring some pills, and returned to the medicine collection village with Du Ruo the next day.
