After the two of them came out of the place where Xia Ye and they lived, they came directly towards the back mountain. At this time, the two of them had been walking on this sheep intestine trail for nearly a quarter of an hour, looking at the Langzhong Mountain and the back mountain very close, but the only passage between the two was this twisting and turning sheep intestine path. The back mountain is silent, it is regarded as a forbidden place by the Lieyuan Sect, and ordinary disciples are never allowed to step into the back mountain, even if they are the first disciples of the top ten elders, they are not qualified to step into the forbidden land of this back mountain for half a step without permission. The reason for this is that the people who live in the back mountains are the painstaking mother-in-law of one of the three great protectors of the Lieyuan Sect.

Elder Feng Tian glanced at Qing'er who was following behind him and said, "Tired, should we rest for a while?"

"It's okay, Elder Fengtian, I'm just in a hurry, I'm not tired. Qing'er said with a smile.

"That's good, if you're tired, tell me, after all, you're still young, and you have no cultivation, and you're still less than half an hour away from where your hard-working mother-in-law lives. Elder Feng Tian nodded secretly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This girl has an extremely tough personality, if the hard-working mother-in-law can really cure her body, maybe there will be some achievements in cultivation." "At the age of fourteen, if Qing'er wants to start cultivating again, no one can be sure if she can still cultivate, and even if she can cultivate, it must not be too great. Thinking of this, Elder Fengtian couldn't help but sigh. Looking up at the back mountain in front of him, Elder Feng Tian couldn't help but say in his heart: "I can only do what I want, and listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

On the back mountain, a silence, the pine forest is dense, even if it is now the harsh winter season, but here is also a green ocean, there is a flat land with a radius of nearly ten zhang on the top of the back mountain, and there is a very simple stone house on the flat land, there are many strange flowers and plants planted before the stone house, so that the whole mountain top, full of flower fragrance, a few butterflies fly back and forth among the flowers, showing that the owner of this place must be a person who loves flowers very much. In addition to a stone house on the top of the mountain, there are three old pines, these three old pines do not know how long they have grown on the top of this mountain, but from the trunk that requires three adults to hug to surround it, we can know that these three old pines are at least 300 years old.

At this time, this back mountain, which is almost untouched all year round, welcomed two special guests, one is an old man with silver hair, and the other is a thirteen-year-old girl. And these two people are Elder Fengtian and Qing'er, who came from Langzhong Mountain to meet their hard-working mother-in-law. After half an hour, the two finally came to the back mountain.

Elder Feng Tian pointed to the stone house on the top of the mountain and said to Qing'er, "Do you see that stone house? There was helplessness in his voice.

Qing'er looked at the stone house in front of her, her heart was full of incredulity, according to her own thoughts, how could the painstaking mother-in-law among the three major Dharma Protectors of the Lieyuan Sect live in such a place, not to mention that Qing'er would have such an accident, even if other martial artists came here, they would be surprised, Qing'er's heart was full of doubts, but she didn't ask.

Elder Fengtian, who had already seen Qing'er's doubts, nodded and said: "It turns out that the sect master originally wanted to invite the bitter mother-in-law back to the top of Langzhong Mountain to cultivate, but the bitter mother-in-law was happy and quiet, so the bitter mother-in-law did not agree, and later the sect master wanted to rebuild a big hall for the pain-loving mother-in-law here, but the pain-loving mother-in-law still refused, so it has always maintained this appearance here, and it has never changed, but it is just a little more, and when the painstaking mother-in-law goes out, she brings some strange flowers and plants." ”

Qing'er nodded, and was about to speak, when she was interrupted by a slightly old voice. Qing'er was not surprised, she couldn't help but secretly say in her heart: "This is the forbidden land of the Lieyuan Sect, especially on this back mountain, it is the center of the forbidden land, and the person who wants to come here to speak is the hard-working mother-in-law that Elder Fengtian just mentioned." ”

"It's Elder Fengtian?"

"It's Feng Tian, mother-in-law, I'm here with Qing'er girl!" Elder Feng Tian immediately returned after hearing the questioning of the person who spoke, and his tone was full of respect.

"Come in!" the voice came again. Immediately, I saw the stone door that had been closed open with the sound of 'click' and 'click'.

Elder Feng Tian said to Qing'er, "Come with me!" After saying that, Elder Feng Tian immediately walked towards the stone house.

Qing'er nodded, and then followed closely behind Elder Feng Tian, with a curious look in her eyes, she didn't know what this hard-working mother-in-law looked like in a kimono, listening to Elder Fengtian's tone, she seemed to have great respect for this hard-working mother-in-law, thinking that she would see this mother-in-law soon, Qing'er suddenly felt extremely nervous in her heart.

The stone house is not as dark as imagined, and there is another cave in the stone house, which is completely different from the size of the stone house seen from the outside, followed by Elder Feng Tian into the stone house, carefully looking at the situation in the stone house, looking at the extremely simple furniture decoration, I feel that this place is extremely deserted, but the stone house is extremely clean, without the slightest appearance of dust. It's just that she was in the stone house, and she didn't find any trace of the bitter mother-in-law, and she was wondering about herself, when she suddenly heard the voice of the bitter mother-in-law coming again. It's just that the voice is ethereal, so Qing'er can't tell where the sound is coming from.

"Come to the inner hall!"

"Follow me!" Elder Feng Tian said to Qing'er behind him, and then walked towards the inside.

Turning the inner door, Qing'er saw a woman in her fifties sitting cross-legged on a cloud bed, with her eyes closed, no expression on her face, and her green hair coiled up. Because of the light, Qing'er didn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but there was a trace of doubt in her heart, she thought that the bitter mother-in-law was an old woman with white hair, but she didn't expect it to be so young, isn't this the hard-working mother-in-law? However, soon her doubts were solved, because when Elder Feng Tian saw the person, he saluted the person and said, "Feng Tian has seen the bitter mother-in-law. ”

At this time, the painstaking mother-in-law's originally closed eyes slowly opened, only to see him looking at Feng Tian calmly, and said to Feng Tian: "Don't be polite, talk closer." ”

"Yes!" After Elder Feng Tian finished speaking, he walked forward, and Qing'er followed closely behind.

After Elder Fengtian approached, after saluting the person sitting firmly on the cloud bed, he said to Qing'er beside him: "Qing'er, this is the painstaking mother-in-law who is one of the three great protectors of the Lieyuan Sect, come and see the painstaking mother-in-law." ”

After Qing'er heard this, she immediately stepped forward, her body was blessed, and she said in a low voice and respectfully: "Disciple Xia Qing'er, I have seen a hard-working mother-in-law. ”

"What a delicate girl, well, not bad! Okay, get up, my mother-in-law doesn't have so many stereotypes. The painstaking mother-in-law looked at Qing'er, who originally had no expression on her face, but at this moment she showed a hint of a smile.

After Qing'er heard this, she nodded yes, then straightened up and stepped aside. His heart was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "Elder Fengtian once said that this hard-hearted mother-in-law has a perverse and withdrawn personality, doesn't like to talk much, and has a bad temper.

Not to mention Qing'er's doubts, even Elder Feng Tian was extremely surprised in his heart, before he came, he was still worried about the temperament of his bitter mother-in-law, and he didn't know if he would like Qing'er, but now that he was worried about it, what made him even more unbelievable was that since the news of the misfortune of the sect master's daughter Shen Rou reached the ears of the bitter mother-in-law, in the past ten years, he had never seen a smile on the face of the bitter mother-in-law, which made Elder Feng Tian sigh.

"Qing'er, come here, I'll take a look at your body for you first. The words of the painstaking mother-in-law interrupted the thoughts in Elder Fengtian's heart.

Qing'er glanced at Elder Fengtian beside her, and saw Elder Fengtian nodding, so Qing'er stepped forward and walked towards the painstaking mother-in-law, a short distance of less than a zhang, but Qing'er felt that it was farther than from the Xia family to Lieyuanzong, the reason was his physique problem, although Elder Fengtian had said that the painstaking mother-in-law had a way to cure her physique and could not cultivate, but her heart still had no score, so with every step, Qing'er's heart became more and more nervous. When Qing'er walked to the side of her hard-working mother-in-law, her mood was like an ant on a hot pot.

Seeing Qing'er walking to the side with a nervous face, feeling the tension in his heart at the moment, the bitter mother-in-law showed a slight smile and said slowly: "Don't be nervous, relax." ”

Listening to the words of the painstaking mother-in-law, Qing'er suddenly found that the original nervous mood suddenly disappeared, as if the anxious mood just now had never appeared at all, Qing'er felt very curious in her heart, she didn't expect that the words of the painstaking mother-in-law seemed to have magic power, and she could calm down.

In fact, what the painstaking mother-in-law said just now does have magic attached, but this magic is actually the magic she used a trace of spiritual power when she spoke, and it is that spiritual power that drives away the negative impact of Qing'er's restlessness.

"Elder Fengtian, please take a seat, you are also a person who often comes to see the old woman, so you don't have to be rigid here. The painstaking mother-in-law said to Elder Fengtian, who was still standing aside.

"The hard-working mother-in-law is the patriarch of the Lieyuan Sect, Feng Tian should respect her mother-in-law, and besides, her mother-in-law is kind to me, and Feng Tian stands to get better. Elder Feng Tian said respectfully.

"You, the head of the ten elders of the dignified Lie Yuan Sect, how can you still be so pedantic. Okay, sit or not, the stool is there. The painstaking mother-in-law glared at Feng Tian, and then stopped paying attention to him.
