forest,

Shuttle!

I saw the young woman shuttling back and forth in the trees, as flexible as an ape, and the leaves could not touch her body. After a while, the young woman returned, jumped down from the tree, and stopped in front of several people, and there seemed to be some surprise in her eyes, and said, "There is a small lake ahead, and it is rare for a lake to exist on such a mountain forest, and I have observed that the trees around the lake are incomparably taller, and a little more luxuriant than the trees we have seen before." ”

"What's going on, Brother Lu Chen, what I also want to ask is that this Wushan behind your town seems to be a little strange, we have been up the mountain for so long, except for a few of you medicine pickers, there are no creatures, and those ordinary birds and beasts are completely gone, what the hell is going on." Hearing this, Hua Qing wondered.

After half an hour of hurrying, Lu Chen also knew their names from the mouths of the three cultivators, the leading man was named Hua Qing, the young woman was named Li Yu'er, and the other young man was called Jiang Zuo, all three of them were cultivators of Huangshan City Academy. said that it was half an hour, but in fact, most of the other three people were accommodating Lu Chen on the way, otherwise it would not take a quarter of an hour to have the footsteps at this moment.

Never out of the town, Lu Chen also does not know what Huangshan City is, listen to Jiang Zuo said, it is the closest town to Wushan Town, unlike such small towns as Wushan Town, Huangshan City covers an area of thousands of acres, I am afraid that there are hundreds of Wushan Town size, a radius of 100 miles is its jurisdiction, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the rain country, the emperor directly sent the city lord.

From the words of Jiang Zuo and Li Yu'er's chat, it was learned that Wushan Town was more than forty miles away from Huangshan City, and several of them were disciples of an immortal master school in Huangshan City, and they were sent to perform a mission outside, and the specific content of the task was not known, but when they were about to reach the destination, the woman made a slight mistake and chased the spirit mouse that they were tracking the task.

"Immortal Master Li, is there a path hidden by grass and trees behind the small lake you saw earlier, it seems that no one has stepped on it for a long time, and there are tall and dense trees behind it, much thicker and taller than these trees around us now. Lu Chen did not answer Hua Qing's question, but first followed the voice, raised his head and said.

"Yes, that's right, I just wanted to go over there first, explore the way first, and then come back to you, but thinking that it was getting late, I turned around and came back. Li Yuer replied.

"Yes, that's right, a few immortals, we should be about to reach our destination, the direction you told us before, plus Nanyu Mountain, that's right, the back of the lake should be the Nanyu Mountain Range." That small lake, our locals call it Xiaomen Lake, refers to the Nanyu Mountain after it. As for the trail, it was originally discovered by the town's herb pickers a long time ago, and later discovered the dangers in it. There were many people who went in but did not come out, so the old people sealed the path. Over time, it was deserted. Lu Chen explained.

"As for the question asked by Hua Xianchang, in fact, I can't explain it, the trees here have become taller, I personally think it's because of the proximity to the Nanyu Mountains, the closer to this side, the better the growth of the trees and grasses, and I don't know what caused it. There is also this rare bird and beast, in fact, it seems that since I started it in the town, there will always be one or two days a month when this kind of cloudy, thunderous weather in the sky, the old man in the town said that it was the gospel of collecting medicine in Osan Town, God blesses it. Lu Chen turned around again and answered the question Hua Qing asked just now.

"Oh, so that's the case, the aura on this side of the Nanyu Mountains is stronger, and the growth of plants and trees is naturally better, but this weather, I don't understand hahaha, maybe it's really God's intention to bless people. Hua Qing seemed to have figured out something, but there was still a little puzzle between his eyebrows, and then he stretched it out again and said with a smile.

"Oh, I see, the immortal chief is really well-informed, but the immortal chief, what is the aura, the kid has heard of such strange things as elixir, but he has never heard of such a thing as aura, and he dares to ask the immortal chief to solve his doubts. When Lu Chen heard this, his face also showed a sudden expression, but he had a lot of doubts, so he bowed his head and asked.

These immortal elders have a very good temper, and they don't have the arrogance of being superior to others in everything as Ding Nan said, but they can learn more about them. Lu Chen's heart was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything, and continued to lower his head.

Although Lu Chen couldn't see it, his mind was open, and he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

What Lu Chen didn't know was that this Huaqing Immortal Chief, who was called a senior brother by the other two, was also selected from the homes of ordinary people to have the opportunity to practice the immortal method in Lu Chen's eyes. This is also why Huaqing treats Lu Chen so gently all the way. And what Ding Nan said is not wrong, ordinary cultivators, who are not superior to mortals, even if they don't say it, they still look down on mortals in their bones. It can only be said that Lu Chen was lucky and met a gentle cultivator who debuted from the mundane.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Jiang Zuo on the side seemed to be a little surprised by his answer, and said, "You still know the elixir, you mortal is also a little interesting, what else do you know, let's hear it." The aura you are talking about is the thing that nourishes the growth of the elixir, and it is also the foundation of our practitioners' practice, just like a fish can't do without water, we need aura to practice and break through the realm, in a word, aura is the foundation of a practitioner's life, and without aura a practitioner cannot be called a practitioner, and there will be no immortal chief and immortal master in the eyes of ordinary people such as you."

"The immortal chief is really well-informed, but the villain is shallow, but I don't know the immortal chief, where is this magical aura" Lu Chen asked respectfully, not letting go of this good opportunity to solve doubts.

"Hahahaha, you and other mortals are really uninformed. Where this aura resides, this aura is conceived and transformed by heaven and earth, just like air, it can be said to be everywhere, but you and other mortal wombs are invisible to the naked eye, and practitioners such as us can perceive it through inspiration and divine consciousness, but generally speaking, we can't see it. This place with rich spiritual energy has famous mountains and rivers, and the barren land with spiritual energy often does not reach anywhere, either barren land or inaccessible wilderness. This is the law between heaven and earth, and you and other mortals are unknowable. The young woman on the side, who had not spoken all this time, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said a little sarcastically.

When Lu Chen heard Li Yu'er's words, his face couldn't help but show a sudden look, but he still bowed his body and bowed his head respectfully.

I didn't dare to say more, so I bowed my head and said, "Immortal Changyan has seen and heard, and the lesson is." ”

The bamboo cane touched the ground, and he didn't speak, Lu Chen's face didn't fluctuate, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart at all. He has long passed the stage when his face changes drastically and he is angry when he encounters verbal collisions and discords, perhaps because of his experience over the years, he has grown up a lot, his mind has matured, and he has a calm and steady personality that is no longer what he should have at this age.

Hua Qing's thinking movements, after Li Yu'er finished speaking, also stopped, frowned, and said, "Senior Sister Yu'er, how can you speak." In the final analysis, our ancestors were all mortals at the beginning, and it was because our first human emperor ancestor opened up a path of cultivation belonging to the human race, and countless later ancestors worked hard to perfect it, so that we and other later cultivators came into being. ”

He turned to Lu Chen again and said, "Brother Lu Chen, don't mind, Senior Sister Yu'er's character is like this, please forgive me." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's the villain's shallow knowledge" Lu Chen hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Hmph, it's good to know, it's a little self-aware......" It seemed that he was a little in awe of Senior Brother Huaqing, and he didn't dare to talk back, but to Lu Chen, he refused to admit defeat, Li Yuer muttered quietly.

"Let's go, it's not too early, hurry up. Jiang Zuo, who was on the side, saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and interjected.

"Well, let's go! Hua Qing's face was serious and he nodded approvingly.

"Lu Chen, your eyes are a little inconvenient, you grab my arm, I'll take you over. Walking over, Hua Qing waved his hand and wrapped a jade belt with blue light around Lu Chen's waist, and then grabbed Lu Chen's arm and jumped.

Before Lu Chen could react, he felt a whirlwind of the world, and a strong sense of weightlessness swept from the soles of his feet......
