Not far from him, in the very center of the alley, a figure was stuck in a pool of yellow sand, as if struggling in quicksand.

Ai Hui raised his vigilance, and the quicksand in the middle of the alley made him think of Tuxiu for the first time.

Tuxiu has a lot of weird killing moves, and it is impossible to prevent it. After a while, there was no other situation, Ai Hui looked carefully, and only then did he notice that the figure that only half of his body was exposed.

His skin was pale yellow with a gritty feel, and he wore a white mask on his face that looked like some kind of hard rock.

Ai Hui suddenly spoke: "Sand puppet?"

The other party stopped struggling, glanced at him, and replied, "Yes, you can call me Loulan." ”

A deep male voice with a hint of hoarseness.

Sand puppets are one of the most beloved skills of soil repair, which is not difficult to make, easy to repair, hard work, and very suitable for doing some physical work. The quality of the heavy sand produced by the Yellow Sand Corner of the Five Elements Heaven is extraordinary, which also directly popularizes the skill of sand puppetry. In the wilderness, Ai Hui had seen many sand puppets, so he could quickly recognize them.

"Looks like you're in some trouble. Ai Hui walked up to Loulan and squatted down: "What's wrong with the sand core?"

The sand core is not a natural thing, but is made of heavy sand in soil cultivation, which is the core component of the sand puppet. Due to the different skills of each person, the sand core of each sand puppet is different.

Sand puppets are made of yellow sand all over their bodies, and the sand core is the key to their body transformation, and once the sand core fails, their body will turn into a scattered sand.

"Yes, old bugs. Loulan was a little helpless: "Can you do me a favor?" My master is Shao Shi, he lives in the penultimate building in the alley, can you help me send him a message?"

"The penultimate building in the alley?" Ai Hui raised an eyebrow: "It looks like we're going to have to be neighbors for a while." ”

Loulan's level of spiritual intelligence is not low, and it seems that she lives next door to a very powerful earth cultivator.

As soon as Ai Hui's palm reached into the yellow sand, he immediately felt the rich earth element force, and his palm seemed to have fallen into the grinding plate, being crushed by the heavy earth element force. His whole face was shocked, Jin Yuanli was all over his palm, and his palm was like a sharp dagger, submerged in the yellow sand.

"Bear with me. ”

As soon as Ai Hui's words fell, the golden yuan gathered in his palm exploded suddenly.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound exploded from the yellow sand, and the invisible shock spread to the ground, the wriggling yellow sand stagnated, and Loulan's body stiffened.

Two seconds later, Loulan's pupils lit up with a light, and the yellow sand that spread out was like iron sand attracted by a magnet, quickly converging towards his body.

In the blink of an eye, there was not a grain of yellow sand left on the ground, and Loulan's body recovered as before. He moved his body for a moment, and his tone was full of surprise: "It's a magical technique, how did you do it?"

"It's a very simple approach. Ai Hui corrected casually, picked up his old cloth bag again, and put it on his shoulder: "It can only be used for emergency relief, and you have to re-check the sand core when you go back." ”

It's really not a very powerful method, in the wilderness Ai Hui has seen Tu Xiu treat the problematic sand puppet in this way more than once, although not every time it is bright, but ten times it can have seven or eight times It works.

However, this was his first time in practice, and no Tuxiu master would ask a coolie to help him repair the sand puppet.

Of course, Loulan definitely didn't feel that Ai Hui was a novice, but felt that he was full of superior demeanor.

"Thank you very much!" Lou Lan thanked Ai Hui in a sincere tone: "I haven't asked Your Excellency for your name yet." ”

"My name is Ai Hui. Ai Hui waved his hand, signaling that Loulan didn't have to mind, and walked forward: "Let's go, let's go in one direction." ”

Loulan followed Ai Hui's side: "Where are you going?"

"Bingfeng Dojo, is it here?" Ai Hui said casually.

"Sure enough, it's a neighbor. Loulan's deep voice revealed a hint of excitement: "We are next door, is that your house? ”

Family......

Ai Hui's footsteps froze imperceptibly, but then as usual: "No, I accept the commission and am responsible for cleaning." ”

Loulan sighed: "Then you are a freshman?"

"That's right. Ai Hui nodded, he already felt that Loulan should rarely go out.

There is room for growth in the wisdom of the sand puppets, and the battle sand puppets that Ai Hui has seen in the wilderness are all cunning and ruthless, and they are real killing weapons.

In the wilderness, there is a saying that if you want to know what a soil cultivator is like, just look at his sand puppet. Looking at Loulan, you will know that his master, Master Shao, is a native cultivator who does not ask about the world and concentrates on cultivation.

"Here, this is the Bingfeng Dojo. Loulan pointed to the old mansion at the end of the alley ahead.

"It's really ...... to build the dojo in such a remote place" Ai Hui shook his head, probably because of the three years of experience in the previous sword cultivation dojo, which made him much more sensitive to dojo-related activities. I had thought that the location of the dojo would be relatively remote, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I found that it was even more remote than I thought.

Is it another boss-like tragic figure?

It's possible. Didn't the old man say that the owners of the house had no contact for more than 20 years? In fact, the subtext is that I don't know whether I live or die.

Okay, Ai Hui felt that he was a little too lazy, anyway, he was here for the reward, the dojo had nothing to do with him, and the life or death of the owner had nothing to do with him.

The gate was surrounded by cobwebs, and the wooden plaque on the gate was covered with a thick layer of dust, and even the words on the wooden plaque were blurred. If you didn't know the words "Bingfeng Dojo" in advance, you would definitely not recognize it.

Took out the key, easily unlocked the door, and found the right place.

Pushing open the gate, a thick layer of dust immediately poured down like snow.

He stood at the door for a while, and waited for the dust to clear for a while before Ai Hui walked in.

The courtyard was devastated and desolate, and the weeds grew taller than people, most of them were sword grasses, which looked like swords pointing to the sky. The corners of Ai Hui's eyes twitched, planting sword grass in his own home, the homeowner's hobby was really a bit strange.

The biggest role of sword grass is to make grass swords, and Ai Hui's weapon is a grass sword made of sword grass.

But at this time, when he saw the sword grass growing taller than him in the courtyard, his head immediately became larger. The texture of the sword grass is very tough, far exceeding that of steel, and cutting the sword grass is a chore. What's even worse is that the sword grass is overgrown, and if you accidentally break into it, you will be cut all over your body.

Ai Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly.

What made him feel even more depressed was that these sword grasses were too coarse and old. If it is a five-year-old sword grass, it can also be sold for some money, the size of the sword grass leaves in this period is just suitable for making grass swords, and the thicker and older sword grass leaves are too large, but it is useless.

"I can help. Loulan said to Ai Hui.

Ai Hui shook his head: "I'll come by myself, you need to check the sand core." Just now it was just an emergency measure, and it couldn't solve the problem. ”

"Okay. Loulan tilted her head: "You can wait for me to come over tomorrow." ”

"I'll do it myself, and I'll do things when I get the money. Ai Hui said as he opened his old cloth bag, he was not in the habit of leaving things to others to do.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Loulan didn't say anything more, and her body turned into a pool of quicksand, seeping into the ground and disappearing.

As a troublesome plant, sword grass is quite a headache, but this does not include Ai Hui.

After three years in the wilderness, Ai Hui can now be regarded as an expert in half of the plant class, but unfortunately his physique is not a wood attribute, otherwise, he feels that his future as a wood cultivator is obviously much greater than that of Jin Xiu.

His old cloth bag was stuffed with all kinds of strange things, animal bones, furs, plant seeds, stones of a special color, all kinds of things. It was the spoils of his three years in the wilderness, and all his savings. Most of them were collected by himself, some were rewards from Lord Yuan Xiu, and some leftovers that Yuan Xiu didn't look down on.

Ai Hui was carefully preserved, and no matter what happened, his cloth bag was never lost.

A small red vial was turned out by him, a fire poison he had equipped in the wilderness, and the name was Burning Wood. It's not too toxic to be used in combat, but in the wilderness, it's a must-have that everyone carries with them. Its biggest role is to control weeds.

The wilderness is full of vegetation and covers the sky and the sun, and many places are difficult to walk, and camping needs to clear a large open space.

The vitality of wild plants is very strong, and there are many weeds that are tougher than sword grass, and it is extremely difficult to deal with by manpower. Ordinary flames are of no use, and fire poisons such as wood-burning must be used.

Ai Hui uncorked the bottle, and the smell of sulfur immediately spread. The red burnt wood, like lava, was poured into the sword bushes.

When the burning wood stains the blades of the sword grass, the green sword grass immediately turns gray, and the gray spreads at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The smell of sulfur in the air has become lighter. In about five minutes, the originally green sword grass bushes completely turned gray.

"Poof!"

The gray sword grass collapsed like an avalanche, leaving a trail of grass and wood ashes.

Ai Hui skillfully shoveled the ashes of the grass and trees on the ground into the soil, which could effectively inhibit the growth of weeds, which did not like the smell of fire.

His movements were fast, and in the blink of an eye, the yard was cleared. Get a broom and remove the cobwebs from the corners. Pick up water from the well and scrub the floor clean, the dust is so thick that you have to wash it at least five or six times.

The old gourd in the stone trough in the corner of the house was removed from the diseased leaves, its main vine was wrapped around the pavilion pillar, the largest gourd was hung under the eaves, and the other vines were wrapped along the eaves, and the surface of each gourd was carefully scrubbed.

All doors and windows are open for ventilation.

The old wooden plaque exposed to the sun and rain was hung back to the main hall by him, the copper incense burner was cleaned, and a bundle of incense was found from the cabinet, and three sticks were lit and plugged in.

After a busy day, the dojo has a new look.

When night falls, the gourd hanging under the eaves exudes a soft light, illuminating the dojo brightly, the clean and tidy bluestone slabs, the old and simple wooden houses, the neatly placed utensils, and the incense with a hint of sweetness.

The peaceful scene in front of him, as if some dream hidden in the depths of his heart, came to him without warning.

It was so caught off guard, so irresistible.

He was a little stunned.

PS: Loulan's character design has been made, and a poster has been made, which will be sent to Fangfang's WeChat public platform later, and interested friends will add WeChat to see, the poster is very beautiful!
