The moonlight is like mercury leaning on every inch of the forest, on the branches, leaves, vines, and rotten ground, and the girl is in her sleep, frowning, it should not be a good dream.

At half a minute of the first quarter of the moon, Fang Xiaotang woke up slowly, was stunned for a long time, sat up slowly, and the past was like a tide, and it came to his heart for a while.

It's a nightmare!

She looked up at the bright moon in the starry sky, and the scars under her sleeves were stacked one after another, and the bones were exposed in many places.

Some were beaten by people, some were bruised by sword practice, some fell when falling off a cliff, and some were claw marks left by forest beasts.

The scars, both new and old, would fall off sooner or later after the scabs, and the nightmares would not end and had plagued her for so many years.

After her mother's death, her father didn't know where to go, so she wandered around Yecheng, guarding her younger brothers and sisters, begging for a meal here and a night there. Sometimes her younger siblings were so hungry that she stole a melon and potato from others, and often caught them and beat them up.

How can there be no end to such days? But it's good that the family is together, happy, and there are no other worries.

Xiao Lian, Xiao Yi, are you okay?

She was a little uneasy, feeling that something was going to happen, maybe it had happened, but she couldn't stop it, and an inexplicable wave of anxiety hit her......

For a while, she was stupid, only to feel that the fog of the forest was not as good as the tip of the iceberg in her heart.

Maybe it's time...... It's time to unravel the mysteries and find the truth behind the fog.

……

In the north of the north, it is also the ordinary late night, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky, quietly looking at this earthly world.

On the wilderness, there is also a person who looks up at the cold moon, her wind fur and long sleeves, she is still dressed in fashion, and the loneliness is still faintly visible on her face like jade.

The man turned and walked to the end of the cliff, and looked at the top of the cliff, as if he was looking for something.

The corners of the skirt are swaying and the dark fragrance is floating, and the gait is infinitely merry.

The night breeze blows in the field, the weeds shake, and between the fluttering clothes and the silence, it seems as if time has stood still.

"Wow~"

The long bird song was high and far away, shaking the valley, resounding for several kilometers in a radius, a red shadow swept by, and the long howl still remained in the vast sky.

"Xiaotang ......" In the night wind, the murmur that rolled up the corners of her lips rose and fell, rose and fell, and floated to the boundless earth.

……

The sun was rising, and Fang Xiaotang passed by the dilapidated Taoist temple with half of the ashes in the corner of the wall for the third time - even more miserable than the kind of dilapidated sect described by Shi Mingze, obviously cut off the inheritance, and even the smell of incense never came out.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal. In the outside world, such Taoist temples are very common, there are no eye-catching carved beams and paintings, and there is no exquisite architectural splendor.

The Taoist temple in the forbidden area looks very old, I don't know what era it was built, the plaque is the four words of "Langqu Sea View", the dignified atmosphere of the writing, but there is a bit of grandeur.

"No, I've got to go in and have a look!" It wasn't until Fang Xiaotang walked through the Yanqu Sea Temple for the seventh time that she ignored Tai Ashi's warning and decided to enter to find out.

Whether she has been going north since she set off, or the first time she has encountered such a strange thing, it seems that no matter how she goes, she can't leave the radius of the Yanqu Sea View within a radius of thirty zhang.

Fang Xiaotang is not reckless, she is successful in her swordsmanship, she stepped into the Changfeng Five Realms two days ago, and ordinary supernatural things can't help her.

On the door of the Taoist temple, layers of dust accumulated, and as soon as she pushed it open, it fell down in a slump.

Fang Xiaotang lightly covered his mouth with his bare hands, and caught a glimpse of a person lying on his back in the main hall in the temple, motionless, as if he was dead.

Reaching out to probe his snort, he was no longer breathing, and his body was cold.

"Yike...... Isn't Mo dead? ”

Fang Xiaotang was stunned, and thought that someone deliberately couldn't get along with him, but he was a dead person?

At the moment, he apologized again and again, bowed three times, and said again and again: "Don't blame the old-timer, maybe you can't go into the ground for peace, so you try to trick the little girl in." The little girl will bury you in person, and I hope the old-timers will not blame. ”

In fact, the man did not move, as if he were a dead body, but it was not stiff.

When Fang Xiaotang reached out to touch his heart, it seemed to be beating slightly, but there was no snort. However, in her urgency, she didn't distinguish it at all, just thought it was a dead person.

There are many such things in the spiritual world, and some people who have died in a foreign land, and it is difficult to leave their homeland, often ask their relatives to dream of finding their bodies and burying them.

Fang Xiaotang should only encounter this kind of supernatural event, but she herself is difficult to protect, how can she leave with someone? Thinking about whether to cremate him or bury him first?

"Wait a minute...... In the dark, an arm came from nowhere, and stopped Fang Xiaotang, who was about to bow down.

"You, you, you!" Fang Xiaotang almost fainted at this glance, this person looked the same as the person lying on the ground, like twins.

"If you don't rush to bow down first, give you this worship, the old man always feels frightened, and I'm afraid that I will lose my life." Wu Jianyi saw that she was going to bow down again, and despite the fact that she was still a heavenly spirit, she hurriedly stopped her.

At first, he looked at this little girl's ice muscles and jade bones, and thought that this was a peerless jade, so he deliberately designed to test her to see if he could inherit his avenue.

Unexpectedly, this little girl has an excellent heart. However, after this worship, he lost his merit for 200 years, as if he had done something heinous.

In this second worship, all the merits he had accumulated on him were shattered, and there were even a few more strands of gray hair between his hair.

Wu Jianyi was so frightened that he couldn't care about what to put up at the moment, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. As soon as he turned, he walked past her, and the Celestial Spirit returned to its body.

Fang Xiaotang only saw that this person's figure was blurred, and it actually passed directly through him, as if she was transparent, and couldn't help screaming: "Ghost, ......"

"What are the ghosts yelling about?_?Where are the ghosts coming from in broad daylight?"

The skin on the man's face didn't move at all as he spoke, and if he hadn't heard the sound coming from his mouth, he would have thought he was a zombie with a walking dead.

This is an old Taoist priest, with chapped feet and chapped hands, cocoons stacked on his earthy yellow palms, similar to an old man in the farm, but it does not give people a sense of intimacy.

Just because he has a lewd appearance and a thin body, like an unevolved ancient ape, even if he is wearing a Taoist robe, he does not have the slightest sense of fairy wind and bones, but is like a monkey and crown, which makes people can't help laughing.

"You...... Not a ghost? ”

"You're the ghost, Dao Master is cultivating the Dao Law here, and I don't want you to disturb it."

Wu Jianyi didn't have a good airway, but in his heart he wondered where this girl came from?

For a while, he dispelled the idea of accepting her as an apprentice, and let such a big man be his apprentice, and he didn't need to say three bows every day, and he could bow to himself casually, and it was estimated that he could go down to see the king of Hades.

"This is the fault of the juniors, and I ask the seniors to punish them." Fang Xiaotang suddenly realized that if this was the case, she was indeed disturbing others, even if she still had some doubts in her heart, she still apologized for pleading guilty.

After all, there are indeed a lot of such strange techniques in the cultivation world, and if you haven't seen them, you can't say that they don't exist.

"Don't, don't worship! Is Dao Ye the kind of person who cares? Wu Jianyi almost cried when she saw that she was going to bow down again, you are my little ancestor, right?

Fang Xiaotang glanced at him a few times, but he didn't dare to face it, thinking: "It's a pity that this Taoist master is such a good person, but he has such a strange appearance." When I look at his face again, I will inevitably show a look of surprise, which will offend him. ”

She diverted the topic and asked, "Don't you dare to ask the old-timers for their surnames?" ”

Wu Jianyi smiled slightly, and said smugly: "Dao Ye has no name or surname, and I don't like others to call me an old-timer, if you want, call Dao Ye." ”

"Yes, Dao Ye is good." Fang Xiaotang said obediently, although she looked at this person with a lewd and eccentric appearance, his skills were not low, and the hand he showed just now surpassed the masters and ancestors, and he was worthy of her courtesy.

"Okay, you stay here for a while, I'll go catch some treasures and lay a solid foundation with you."

Wu Jianyi was a little annoyed that she lost her merit for nothing, but looking at her well-behaved appearance, she liked it a little, so she didn't care at all.

What's more, this incident was caused by himself, and he also knew that it was no wonder Fang Xiaotang, not to mention that if it wasn't for the bureau he set up, the relationship between the two worships would not have been concluded.

Solid foundation?

Fang Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, she had heard Zhao Ruozhu mention that her innate foundation was lacking, so when she cultivated, she would get twice the result with half the effort.

But there are several treasures in the world that can complete her foundation, but they can only be found in famous mountains and rivers and inaccessible places.

I saw that the man caught a snow-white rabbit out of nowhere and threw it into a swarthy cave. After a while, the white rabbit rushed out in a panic, and screamed in a bit of pain.

Fang Xiaotang saw it clearly under the cover of snow, and saw that the white rabbit was full of more than 100 big scorpions seven or eight inches long, red and black, with colorful patterns, all wriggling and moving.

She shrank and swallowed, not knowing what the Dao Master was going to do?

Wu Jianyi was overjoyed and said: "The emperor scorpion likes to eat alive, I waited here for three days, and finally lured them to hunt with white rabbits when they returned to the nest. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to catch them. ”

So the man took out a cloth bag from his arms, wrapped the rabbit and the imperial scorpion together, stuffed it into his arms, and slipped down the snow peak with a smile. Fang Xiaotang followed behind, and his heart was furious: "Do you really eat centipedes?" Look at his expression, and he didn't mean to scare me. ”

Wu Jianyi opened the cloth bag, washed the scorpion, and put it into a pot of boiling water.

He took out more than a dozen fist-sized jade boxes from the cloth bag, and when he opened them, most of them were oil, salt, sauce and vinegar......

At this time, the two of them were building a fire on the mountain road in the snow, saying that it was a mountain road, but it was just a few inches wide of ice around the cliff.

Fang Xiaotang accidentally stepped on the air, and pieces of gravel rolled down into the abyss, looking down from above, extremely terrifying.

"Beware of ......" Wu Jianyi shook his head, he had walked hundreds of times on this mountain path, and naturally there was no risk of falling.

The picnic of the two, with their backs to the cliff and facing the abyss, has a different taste. Further up, there is the lonely pole, which is extremely high and can see the mountains at a glance.

At this time, Wu Jianyi opened the pot and added thyme, peppercorns, refined salt, ginger, green onions, peppers and other condiments.

His cloth bag looks small, but it is full of organs, it seems that there are no surprises, and everything is very well prepared.

Unlike Fang Xiaotang, in addition to eating wild fruits, he is roasted steamed buns.

The imperial scorpion was about the size of a palm, lined up, and struggled in the boiling snow water a few times before it didn't move.

Wu Jianyi has already prepared a sub-pot, poured sesame oil into it to heat, fried the vermicelli first, and spread it on the bottom of the plate; Then fry the scorpion and put it on the vermicelli.
