After hearing about the path of cultivation in the outside world for the first time and roughly determining the direction of his own cultivation, Chenfeng not only continued to study alchemy, but also set aside a part of his time to read books about cultivation to increase his knowledge, and his life was full and happy.

In the past month, Morrowind has made rapid progress in alchemy, and has been able to master all aspects of alchemy, the fly in the ointment is that every time it is necessary to connect into the jade luck to support the floating pill furnace, plus confirm that there should be no problem with his technique in taking medicine, Morrowind understands that he has encountered the so-called bottleneck, and it is time to start practicing qi.

On the evening of this day, in the thatched house, Lian Chengyu rarely cooked in person, and made a large table of delicacies with Chenfeng. Today is Morrowind's eighth birthday.

"Uncle Lian, this is too wasteful, the so-called bright lights and drunken gold fans are nothing more than that. Chenfeng brought the last dish from the kitchen, put it on the table and asked Lian Chengyu with a smile.

"This is drunk and drunk! You kid better read less novels. When Lian Chengyu heard this, he shook his head happily and scolded with a smile.

"Morrowind!" Chenfeng was about to continue to say something to Lian Chengyu, when suddenly a crisp shout came from outside the door, accompanied by a laugh like a silver bell.

"Qingqing, are you back?It's better to come early than to come by chance, come quickly!" Chenfeng immediately recognized from his voice that it was Chen Qingqing, who had been out for a month, who had returned at this time, and after saying this, he didn't care about Lian Chengyu and ran to the door with a black face.

"Who are you?" Chenfeng, who just ran to the door, was immediately stunned, and a strong man with a tall and dark complexion appeared in the field of vision.

Seeing that Chen Qingqing beside the strong man was still smiling, Chen Feng immediately reacted and asked tentatively, "Are you Uncle Qingqing?"

The strong man looked at the morning breeze, and for some reason he was a little uncomfortable, and after looking at Chen Qingqing, who was constantly making eyes for himself, he said, "Uncle? Yes, yes. ”

"Come and eat, the food is going to be cold. Lian Chengyu interrupted the three people at the door at the right time.

The morning breeze is also conscious, how can there be a way to welcome guests at the door, busy getting out of the way, please one big and one small two people inside. Morrowind looked at the back of the strong man with a curious face, "This is the second outsider I've seen? he must have come from outside, right? Or at least he has been outside, there must be a lot of things going on outside." ”

After everyone sat down, Lian Chengyu beckoned everyone to eat. Seeing that Lian Chengyu and the strong man had no life, talking and laughing, Chenfeng glanced at Lian Chengyu meaningfully, and then turned his head and muttered to Chen Qingqing, most of them were how many different scenery they had seen on this trip.

An hour later, the meal was over.

Seeing that Lian Chengyu and Dahan were still drinking wine slowly and leisurely, Chenfeng got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, ready to clean up first.

Lian Chengyu and Chen Qingqing are okay, they are used to this, but the burly man looked at Chenfeng's move but suddenly stood up, looked at Lian Chengyu, and then at Chenfeng, I didn't know what words I couldn't say for a while, and my face was red while I was drinking.

Chenfeng and Chenqingqing both looked at the big man a little strangely, and they didn't know why.

"Pack up, rest early today, and go to Yunshan tomorrow. ”

It was Lian Chengyu who broke the siege again, which eased the strange atmosphere at the scene.

Chenfeng nodded, went to the kitchen with a stack of dishes, and Chen Qingqing trotted all the way over. Chen Qingqing can't do these jobs, so she doesn't go to help, at most she chats with the busy morning breeze.

In the middle of the night, Chenfeng, Chenqingqing, and the little black dog were already squeezed into a bed and fell asleep. The thatched-roof Lian Chengyu and the burly man sat side by side.

"Big brother, less... Morrowind?" The big man stammered a little.

"It's okay, I don't know how much wind and rain I will have to face in the future, what is it compared to this bit of bitterness and tiredness?" Lian Chengyu seemed to know what the big man wanted to express, took a sip of wine, and said lightly.

"But..."

"Why are you such a mother-in-law?" Lian Chengyu seemed to be a little angry.

"What about Qingqing and Morrowind?" Dahan changed the subject.

"How's the preparation going?" Lian Chengyu didn't seem to know what to do, and quietly changed the topic.

"The first few times are all good, but the last thing is missing, and I went to the Western Regions some time ago and still didn't find it. Dahan said in a deep voice.

After listening to Dahan's report, Lian Chengyu paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Go to Jiuqing Palace to find that old woman, you can't wait any longer." "It seems like a big decision has been made.

"Are you really going?

For a long time, the roof fell silent.

"Bring a message to her, see how she chooses!" Lian Chengyu's tone was gloomy: "Canglan has a son who has just grown up, and he will eventually become a prisoner every day." ”

Hearing this, Dahan nodded, and did not speak again. After staying for a while, he took advantage of the night to disappear without a trace, leaving no chance for Morrowind to ask about anecdotes from the outside world.

The next day, after breakfast, Morrowind was ready to leave. Looking at Chen Qingqing, who was still sitting at the table, Chen Feng turned his head and asked Lian Chengyu with some doubts: "Uncle Lian, won't Qingqing go with us?"

Lian Chengyu shook his head and said with a smile: "You asked Qingqing if he was willing to go?"

Chen Feng turned his head suspiciously, and saw Chen Qingqing shaking his head lightly at him, and then said with a smile: "Didn't I go out a while ago, I found something suitable for my cultivation, and I am here waiting for you to come back." ”

Chenfeng nodded lightly, and then followed Lian Chengyu out of the thatched house, obviously not asking Chen Qingqing in detail what he had found to come back at this moment.

Familiar with the road, Lian Chengyu and Chenfeng soon came to the stone wall that entered Yunshan last time, and as Chenfeng's palm was imprinted on the stone wall, the rumbling sound sounded again, and the pitch-black passage was once again in front of them.

"Let's go!" Lian Chengyu said to Morrowind with a smile, and then took the lead into the darkness.

Deep but not stuffy, dark but not lost.

Walking in the darkness again, the morning breeze once again felt the feeling of the whole person fluttering, extremely comfortable and gentle, that feeling is really not enough for outsiders.

When the morning breeze opened his eyes, he was a little surprised. It's still the same dry well as the last time I came in, or the garden that was once deserted. At this time, what catches your eye is a vibrant scene, flowers and trees are thriving on the earth, dead trees are pulling branches, and small grasses are sprouting.

Although the thatched hut where Chenfeng is located and the surrounding forest are always like summer all year round, Chenfeng has never seen the so-called "spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River", but at this moment, thinking of the scene here and now when I think of the scene here and there last time I came, Chenfeng can still feel that this place seems to be reborn.

Walking out of the garden with Lian Chengyu, the rows of broken white-walled and gray-tiled houses around him have not changed much, and against the backdrop of the green mountains and tender grass around them, they look even more desolate and sad.

Silent and silent, just like the surroundings. Lian Chengyu and Chenfeng seemed to be affected by this meeting, and the two of them were silent all the way to the bottom of the Tibetan Fire Tower.

"I'm going to pay homage to Aunt Ying, Uncle Lian, do you want to go?" Morrowind broke the silence.

"I'm not going, I'm going to find the way to the second floor, be careful yourself, don't mess around. Lian Chengyu replied.

The black stone wall gradually became transparent again, and the morning breeze stepped up.

On the third floor of the Hidden Fire Tower, it was still the same as when he left the last time, and the portrait of a gentle woman hung on the wall, quietly watching this uninvited guest who came here again.

"Aunt Ying, I have learned alchemy. I have to thank you for not only getting the fire from you, but also receiving the medicine at the end from your notes. ”

"Uncle Lian said that I am going to officially start practicing today, and I am really happy that I can go out and see the outside world earlier. Uncle Qingqing came last night, and I wanted to ask him about the outside, but when I got up in the morning, he was already gone. Hey, blame me, I should have asked last night, but I was busy washing dishes and forgot about it..."

"I'm fine, even my uncle is good, Qingqing is also very happy every day, Xiao Hei is okay, every day I just eat, sleep, sleep, eat..."

The morning breeze is chattering, in this quiet dark room, facing a painting on the wall, methodically telling about his life. First, because there is no person around him to talk to, and second, because the woman in the painting on the wall gives him a natural sense of closeness.

As if finding an outlet, Chenfeng tells many unknown details of his life, the disappointment and hesitation of the moment, the hope and confusion for the future, and so on.

The kid lost his words and disturbed Aunt Ying's purity. An hour later, Morrowind finished his speech and bowed his hand apologetically to the portrait on the wall.

Turning his head to look at the books on the shelves, Morrowind hesitated. The handbook that Aunt Ying took last time was of great help to me, and I haven't completely digested it yet. At this time, if you take away another book, will Aunt Ying mind, although they are all borrowed, it is not a good thing that people's hearts are insufficient.

"Eat the rice one bite at a time. Chenfeng silently recited the golden jade words that Lian Chengyu gave him, restrained the impulse in his heart, bowed to the portrait three times, and then turned away.
