Two bottles of Bi Linghua essential oil, half a bottle was used for Qi Luo's body refining, Baoyu kept the remaining half bottle for her, and took the other bottle with herself. Even if he wanted to leave it all to Qi Luo, this snake girl would never want it, and it was indeed a rare curiosity, and for Baoyu, he was more interested in it than in Nabi Needle Pill.

......

Qi Luo's refining time was not short, and it was not until after noon that Hanxiong saw the two of them come out of the cave. Ziro had obviously been groomed, neatly dressed and his hair was not messy, but his face still had a strange flush, and although he had already restrained the natural aura of vitality and rhythm, his whole body was full of moving charm.

She was still carrying a package, and she should have simply packed up the things in the makeshift cave and was about to leave this place. Although he had been waiting for a long time, Hanxiong did not show any impatience, and at this moment he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xiaolu, shall we go back together?...... Miss Ziro, I'm here to help you get the package, it's for Mr. Xiaolu!"

Ziro dodged to the side and did not give him the package. And Baoyu smiled: "Miss Qi Luo wants to go back to the village in the Southern Wilderness, and we want to go to Wufu Hill." It's not a road, how can you help her get the package?"

Hanxiong was stunned, but Xiao Tian showed an expression of "I knew this was the case". No one knows Baoyu better than this dog, Xiao Tian knows very well that Baoyu will not do anything for Qi Luo's beauty, and it can also see that Baoyu is not emotionally attached to Qi Luo, it is not the woman he thinks in his heart, just look at the eyes.

Even if he took Qi Luo with him as a waiter, it would not be possible for Baoyu. The mountain god also left a divine thought imprint on Xiaotian, and the dog knew in his heart that Baoyu's cultivation seemed to be easy and casual, but in fact, it had a unimaginable burden and a secret that shocked the world. The clearer Xiao Tian's mind became, the more surprised he was that how he managed to treat people and behave as usual along the way?

Even Xiaotian has to pay attention to being an ordinary dog with his tail between his legs in front of everyone from time to time. If Baoyu brought a charming snake girl with her, it would be because she was not flamboyant enough, lest others would not target him! Besides, Baoyu didn't need her to do that.

Baoyu turned around again and said to Qi Luo in an admonishing tone: "The troubles in your cultivation in the Second Realm have been resolved, but after you go back, you still have to use enough cultivation to achieve the perfection of the Nine Transformations. You grew up in this area, you are more familiar with and accustomed to this place, and now you meet that group of monks from the Beast Mountain, although they are not their opponents, as long as you escape in time, you can avoid them, and you will no longer be blocked by them like the day before yesterday.

Although with the protection of Wufu Hill, the people in this area do not dare to provoke you Serpentine Clansmen easily. However, the winter solstice is approaching, and it is almost the day when Wufu Hill opens the mountain gate, and many monks from Bayuan countries have poured into the area of Hongjin City, among which there are inevitably those who have evil thoughts and are bold, such as the monks of the Beast Mountain. Now that the refining has been completed, you still don't want to stay in the mountains and wilderness around here for a long time, and go back quickly. ”

If Baoyu asked Qi Luo to go with him, even if it was just a waiter beside him, Qi Luo couldn't refuse, but he had to go back to the village first to say hello and explain the reason, but Baoyu didn't make such a request. Qi Luo has been away from the village for more than half a year, and with her identity as a cultivator who has broken through the second realm, her status in the village is of course very important, and even the candidate for the next patriarch must be anxious to go back.

Qi Luo bowed down in the valley, watching Baoyu lead Xiaotian and Hanxiong away together, and did not get up until they could not see their backs. She rushed back to the village of the Serpentine Clan through the mountains and wilderness, and along the way she was still reminiscing about what had happened in the past two days, as if she were in a dream, and she had not yet fully recovered her senses.

After listening to some of Mr. Xiaolu's stories, she already understood why those "bad guys" wanted to arrest her, and how they wanted to arrest her? Those people released a spirit beast, the black panther, to hunt her down, hurt her, and leave her with no way to escape, and then planned to let another person play the role of a hero to save her, make her feel her kindness, and then get her.

Why did those people outside the mountain have so many intrigues and tricks? She had been waiting for Bi Linghua in a dignified manner, and she didn't know or have anything to do with those people, and she didn't need them to do anything at all. They created an opportunity to "save" her by hurting her, but they wanted her to sacrifice herself and belong to them from now on, so that she would lose her village and leave the mountains where she lived.

If those people hadn't done this, or had never met her, her cultivation would not have been disturbed, and no one would have been harmed, and she would have stayed safe until the Biling Flower withered and took its essence to refine her body. Whether the process goes smoothly or not, it's her own business, and she won't lose more of what belongs to her. So, she didn't want them to show up at all.

Those people were calculating and hurting her, and Baoyu's appearance saved her. But in the eyes of a barbaric demon woman like Qi Luo, those monks of the Beast Mountain, Baoyu and others were all from the world outside the mountain. It was a group of people from outside the mountain who hurt her, and another group from outside the mountain who also came to her rescue.

Whether the two groups conspired or not, but seeing them as a whole made a difference to her? If Baoyu just let her escape, and then he himself took the role of those beast mountain monks, it seemed that there would be no difference. She didn't need these people. I didn't have to go through that kind of pain and fright, and I didn't have to have to repay anyone at my own expense.

But what that Mr. Koji did made a real difference. Not only because he really rescued her, but also because he helped her refine her body more perfectly. He changed her situation, but he didn't try to dominate her own world and let her make her own choices.

What's more, he also told her the wonder of the layers of cultivation realms, and explained to her what happened clearly, so that this simple snake girl could see her true nature and think like she was now.

It's hard to say whether this Mr. Koji is selfless or selfish. He also found her for his purpose, asked her a lot of questions, witnessed and experienced all this, and also took away his gains, so to speak, each of them is selfish.

Of course, Qi Luo wanted to repay Baoyu, and if Baoyu asked for anything, she would not refuse. But compared to the world outside the mountains, she is of course more willing to return to the village where she lives, which is the habit of serpentine women since ancient times. She really hopes that Baoyu will have a chance or something in the future. can go to the village to find her, so that she can repay him better.

The location of the village where Ziluo was and the way to find it, she told Baoyu as much as she could. It's just that the depths of the wilderness are steep and the peaks are continuous, and it is not easy for her to explain clearly. I hope Mr. Koji can find it. With his ability, he will definitely be able to find it if he wants to find it!

......

Walking on the road, Hanxiong said, "It's a shame that you didn't take her away." ”

Baoyu asked rhetorically, "What's the pity?, neither before or after meeting her, I didn't think of bringing a snake girl with me." And for her. Rather than being taken away by a stranger so inexplicably and unprepared to accept the unknown fate, of course, he would prefer to return to his own village. It's just that you're thinking too much, and things aren't what you thought they were!"

Hanxiong sneered, "Yes." Also, Mr. Koji can see that I admire you more and more...... I've heard of the habit of the Serpentine tribe, where the women live in the village and the men are outside. ...... If you want to see her or anything, you can go to the village and look for her, you must already know where her village is, right?"

Baoyu smiled: "You still think too much! I don't think about her." ...... If it were you, would you?"

Hanxiong subconsciously straightened his chest and said, "Of course I won't take advantage of people's danger...... But you and I are different, my father warned me a long time ago, and I don't have the ability to do as much for her as you do. ”

Baoyu smiled bitterly: "That's right! It seems that if you don't treat other girls well, you will suffer a lot of losses." She was originally guarding the Biling Flower to cultivate, and who did she recruit, provoke, and owe?...... I've gained a lot from this experience, what about you?"

That's the big truth. Baoyu got rid of Yan Feng, the hidden danger of the vicious heart around everyone, successfully refined it with his own hands and took away the precious and hard-to-find Biling Flower essential oil, and helped Miss Qi Luo to carry out the most perfect body refining. He also learned about the secret methods and cultivation of the snake tribe, and the talent of the snake girl, and if he entered the Southern Wilderness in the future, he would also get the reward and help of Qi Luo and his tribe.

If these are not harvests, what are the gains? The most important thing is that Baoyu has perceived an unprecedented realm of wonderful emptiness, the taste of which is indescribable, which is not only a great enjoyment that transcends all human desires, but also a secret method that confirms cultivation. And this is Baoyu's own secret, of course he will not tell anyone!

Hanxiong sighed: "Of course, I have gained a lot, not only eye-opening, but also a lot of insights...... Mr. Xiaolu, I look at your method of refining the essential oil of Biling Flower today, although it comes from the secret tradition of the Serpentine Clan, but there is another mysterious evolution. It's very similar to the legendary Shennong Heavenly Emperor's great recipe left in the world, have you obtained this secret power?"

Baoyu was surprised: "Although I have heard of the great weapon passed down by Emperor Shennong, I don't know its subtlety, let alone its secret method inheritance. Isn't the Great Weapon Secret Technique a secret method for refining weapons, how can it be related to the collection of medicines? Could it be that the Changling Sect has this secret tradition, and Mr. Changling has already cultivated the Great Technique?"

Hanxiong hurriedly explained: "I once heard my father say that it is said that the Emperor Shennong of the year sensed the spirituality of the plants and trees in the world with the divine whip in his hand, and the whip became an elixir. He left a secret method for future generations, sensing the wonder of all herbs and all things, and refining it with supernatural secret methods. It can help with cultivation. When the day after tomorrow crosses the path to heaven, it is also a guide to the sacred land of its imperial hometown.

Later generations practiced this secret method and found that its beauty lies not only in refining medicine, but also in refining the great weapon, so it is called the great instrument trick. My father had only heard of this legend, but he had not learned of it. Today, I saw that you extracted the essential oil of the Biling Flower, combining the two methods of the Serpentine Clan's secret into one, not only retaining the strange flower, but also directly refining the elixir with a wave of your hand, so I remembered this legend.

Your technique is much like the Great Tool. But it's normal that you haven't cultivated the Great Technique. My father once said that when different secret methods in the world are used to perform similar magical powers, there is always something common in their metaphysics. I heard that there is no sect in Bayuan that has a great recipe inheritance, and there are three trees and beads on Meng Yingqiu, where the fate is located, which is the immortal elixir that Emperor Shennong once had. ”

I see! The mountain god had also mentioned to Baoyu the Shennong Heavenly Emperor and the Great Instrument Technique, but no Mr. Changling explained it in such detail to Hanxiong. Baoyu was a little more interested in the Eli Zhu elixir, but it was not enough to stupidly run to Meng Yingqiu right now and declare his identity to take the elixir.

Baoyu smiled, "Thank you for telling me this." It's the first time I've heard of it. You should always take your father's words to heart, Mr. Elder-aged is indeed very insightful...... Regarding the way of alchemy, we can have a good exchange in the future. Now let's go, we've been away for more than a day. Xiao sprinkled, they should be in a hurry. ”

After listening to Hanxiong's words, Baoyu was also reminiscing about his own alchemy technique. All of his supernatural powers are self-realization in cultivation, and the mountain god has not taught him any specific secret methods, and all he gives is guidance in the realm. Naturally, he did it. Just like the snake girl's natural powers, he can explain her mysteries to Hanxiong, but it is difficult to teach her secret methods. In fact, Baoyu's cultivation is the essence of the essence. It's the same today.

Hanxiong patted his head and said: "Oh, Yan Gang should have gone back, if you see Xiao Sa girl and them, I don't know if you tell the truth?" Xiao Sa will definitely be anxious and worried when he knows about the accident that happened here, let's go quickly!"

......

Xiao Sa and the others didn't see Baoyu, Hanxiong, Yanfeng, Yangang and the other four come back yesterday, and they were worried about whether they had encountered any changes, and they were also speculating whether they were looking for the snake girl? But looking for the snake girl has to go to so many people, isn't it lively enough?

It wasn't until early this morning that I saw Yan Gang come back alone. Yan Gang did not hide the truth, he was sad and ashamed to tell Xiao Sa and others about the changes that happened in the mountains, and then packed his luggage and hurried away. Everyone was deeply shocked, and after thinking about it, they shuddered, fortunately Mr. Koji got rid of this person, otherwise they would be afraid to think about it, continue to walk with this kind of person, who knows what else will happen?

When the little girl heard that they had indeed gone to find the snake girl, she secretly said in her heart: "Hmph, I really didn't guess wrong! Alas, man! Mr. Xiaolu said that he was not interested, but in a blink of an eye, he still looked for it." And Yanfeng is too much of a thing, why did he do that, he deserved to die! I didn't expect Hanxiong's thick-eyed guy to go too, what kind of fun did he go to join? Well, no, there's nothing Hanxiong doing here, he should be going to help Mr. Xiaolu, this stupid big guy is quite a friend!"

Xiao Sa couldn't help but be a little disappointed in Baoyu, but after thinking about it, what was there for her to be disappointed? No matter what happened to Mr. Xiaolu and the snake girl, and what was about her, should she do something to her? And with what Mr. Xiaolu did, she should only be grateful and grateful. No wonder Shizun often says that she always thinks too much, even if she clarifies things, she often doesn't see simple things clearly.

Xiao Sa thought about it for a long time, and had a little less expectation of Baoyu, but a little more affection for Hanxiong.

It wasn't until before dark that Baoyu and Hanxiong led Xiaotian back, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to ask for details, and scolded Yanfeng. Everyone was surprised to learn that Mr. Xiaolu didn't have any idea of beating the snake girl, but only treated her injuries, instructed and helped her cultivate, and then let her go back to the wild village by herself.

Xiao Sa couldn't help but think in his heart again: "How many women in the world dare to say that they can compare to the cultivated snake girl with their beautiful appearance?" Mr. Xiao Lu also wants to go to Wufu Hill, and it is indeed too eye-catching and inconvenient to take a snake girl, so he let her go back, which can also make the snake girl more grateful. Well, he must have asked where the Serpentine village was, and he would go to her!"

And Baoyu said: "The accident was delayed for two days, and it is not early. Rest well tonight, and we'll leave for Wufu Hill tomorrow. ”

After a night without words, Baoyu led the way the next day, and a group of six people walked through the mountains to Wufu Hill. When they finally reached the foot of Wufu Hill, it happened to be early in the morning on the day of the winter solstice.

At the foot of Wufu Hill, there are not only monks from all over Ba Yuan, warriors trying to climb the mountain, but also vendors from various villages. Outside the mountain gate to the north, the vendors have long set up tents and various simple buildings, and there is business wherever there are many people, and most of the people who come here are very rich.

Wufu Hill, one of the nine hills of Bayuan, and the foot of the legendary and famous sacred mountain, have been lively like a huge bazaar these days, with all kinds of shouts coming around, and Baoyu not only frowned secretly when he came here. It soon became clear that the goods in this makeshift bazaar were even more complete than those in the Red Brocade City, and that all the specialties in this area, including some rare treasures, were sold, but the prices were also more expensive.

But this kind of "pomp" is only limited to the first few days of the winter solstice, and after today, the monks on the Wufu Hill will clear the field and drive people out. In the mountains where thousands of people gather, there is a clear divide. There was a boulder next to the avenue, and a giant sword was inserted on the boulder, and it was hard to imagine what kind of giant could afford to hold such a sword.

It is estimated from the three-foot sword blade that exposes the boulder, its sword body should be more than one zhang long, it is said that the general of the martial arts department personally inserted it here, and it has been exposed to the wind and sun for nearly five hundred years, but there is no trace of rust. This giant sword inserted on the side of the road is where the mountain gate of Wufu Hill is located, no matter how many people come and how lively they are, no one crosses this invisible line.

Looking south from here, there is a majestic mountain peak rising from the ground and reaching into the sky, and in front of it there is a straight mountain path, like the marks of a giant blade that opens the sky. This mountain peak is the climbing peak, and that mountain path is the climbing path. If you look farther up, there are five peaks in this area, with the summit peaking in the northernmost part.

The mountain to the east is called Chopping Wood Peak, the mountain to the west is called Fire Peak, and the mountain to the south is called Mojian Peak. These are all very primitive and quaint names, and the masters on Wufu Hill call them so. But many years later, these three mountains were also called Kancai Peak, Chengqi Peak, and Sharpening Peak. However, the northernmost Dengjing Peak and the central main peak of Wufu Hill have never changed their names.
