Chapter Eighty-Eight: The People of the Valley of Wind and Dew
It's time for the Qionghua to bloom again.
A girl in a pale blue shirt walked under a cluster of flowers and trees, her steps brisk.
The girl in the green shirt had a round face, and her eyebrows were crooked when she laughed. The air was filled with the faint scent of flowers, and she waved her sleeves in the gentle wind with one free hand, and looked up to admire the spring scenery around her, looking intoxicated.
Her name is Ran Ran, and she is a Taoist academy that has been going on for two years.
Although it has been two years, everything here is still so fresh and beautiful in her eyes, she can't get enough of it. She was not very valued in the Taoist Academy, but she was already very, very satisfied to be able to live in such an environment and devote herself to studying pharmacy.
A piece of white petals slowly floated into the dark mahogany box held by the girl, which was particularly eye-catching.
Ran Ran was first pleasantly surprised by this scene, but when she saw the small black beads like longan cores next to the petals, she couldn't help but feel sad between her eyebrows.
She held the box in the bright place, and then the sunlight carefully distinguished the difference between the hundreds of black beads, and muttered: "Pray for Tongzi, pray for Tongzi, obviously they are all Qitongzi! Who are the three that the teacher said......
Ran Ran's voice gradually lowered as she saw someone approaching her.
It was a handsome young man in a black robe. He seemed to have a peculiar temperament, which made her feel very peaceful, and she couldn't help but smile when she looked at each other.
The style of this black robe seems to be a little familiar?
Ran Ran thought about it for a moment, and quickly thought that this was not the clothes of the teachers in the various branches of the Dao Academy! She noticed that young face, but she couldn't sense his cultivation realm at all, and guessed that this must be a certain senior brother who had taken over the task to teach in the branch.
In recent years, many brothers and sisters have gone to the branch to train. She thought to herself.
......
This black-robed young man is naturally Lu Qiming.
If you count the last "fast passing", this is only the second time he has come to the Taoist Academy. For this place, Lu Qiming is obviously impossible to be familiar with.
When he heard Tang Fei describe the specific address before, his tone was extremely firm and capable, so he came directly without thinking too much.
Then Lu Qiming now knows that Tang Fei's way of describing the address is really not flattering -- it sounds very right, but in fact -- it is completely chaotic and unintelligible! Unfortunately, he can only realize this when he sees the terrain with his own eyes.
Lu Qiming worked hard for a long time, but he could only clarify that his location at this time was in the hanging island that belonged to the herb department in the Daoist Academy, but this had nothing to do with Tang Fei's guidance - because the teleportation array was originally in the herb department.
You'll have to ask someone for directions. Lu Qiming looked at the little girl in a green shirt in front of him.
Because he deeply felt Tang Fei's unreliability in guiding the way, Lu Qiming couldn't help but start to wonder about another thing she said-will there be a problem walking around the Taoist Academy in this lecturer's black robe?
Fortunately, the girl in the green shirt looked like she had just entered the Taoist Academy. A few days ago, Lu Qiming and Qin Yuefeng mentioned that the standard of the Daoist Academy for students is only the admission of Xiao Zhou Tianjing, and the one in front of him is an example. Lu Qiming approached her, and before he could speak, he heard the little girl bow her head and say, "Hello, senior brother!"
Seems to work. Lu Qiming returned the salute and said with a smile: "May I ask if my senior sister knows the location of the 'Wind Dew Valley'?"
"Fenglu Valley," Ran Ran recalled for a moment, looked at his black robe again, and said with a sudden smile: "I know, Senior Brother must have gone to find Professor Zhang Dayan! I remember that Professor Zhang is also the principal of the Zhongzhou Branch, right?"
"That's right. Lu Qiming smiled and nodded, "Does Senior Sister also know Dean Zhang?"
"No, no, no, I don't know him!" Ran Ran hurriedly shook his head and said abruptly: "It's because Professor Zhang is so knowledgeable and a good person, and many of us want to learn from him." ”
Lu Qiming's gaze swept over the dark red wood box in her hand, and said clearly: "Qi Tongzi, did the junior sister choose the wood family? Lu Qiming probably knew that there were many branches in the herbal medicine family, and the wood family was one of them. The prayer tree held by this girl is very remote, and it is generally only used in large quantities by people who specialize in wood.
Ran Ran obviously didn't expect Lu Qiming to recognize it, and said in surprise: "Senior brother too!"
Lu Qiming smiled: "I just happened to understand." I learned more general about medicinal herbs. ”
"That's right. Ran Ran was a little disappointed, she originally wanted to ask how to tell the difference. She suddenly remembered Lu Qiming's question, the two of them said so many words, she hadn't answered yet, she couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly remedied this mistake, and seriously told Lu Qiming the specific route to Fenglu Valley.
Lu Qiming thanked him, hesitated a little and did not leave immediately, but said, "Let me take the liberty of asking, is my senior sister preparing for these prayer tongzi?"
Ran Ran was a little dazed: "What's wrong?
Lu Qiming raised his finger and said, "I see that there are three fire tung seeds mixed in it, if the junior sister accidentally uses it for experiments, I'm afraid there will be some trouble." ”
So accurate?!
Ran Ran was dumbfounded. It was a small job that her teacher asked her to do, and it was also a test. It was a box of hundreds of prayer tongs mixed with fire tongs in a roughly five-to-one ratio, and she needed to pick out all of them.
Originally, Ran Ran thought he had finished it and showed it to the teacher, but the teacher said that there were still three of them. But Ran Ran couldn't tell the difference after a long time, and almost guessed that the teacher was deliberately embarrassing her;
Ran Ran's eyes have changed--he deserves to be a senior brother!
Hearing her explain the reason, Lu Qiming was a little embarrassed. If it was the teacher's test for this girl, then he would be troubled.
"Absolutely not!" Ran Ran shook his head again and again, expectantly: "Senior brother, please help me!
"Well, I have an easy idea. Lu Qiming looked at the black beads in the light and motioned for her to come to the shade together.
Lu Qiming said with a smile: "Senior sister is a cultivator, let's gather some water element power around and give it a try?"
Ran Ran did it and looked at it again, surprised. Most of the beads in the wooden box have turned into a bright and restrained color, but only three of them show a bright to reflective color, and the results speak for themselves.
Did the senior brother find out by himself? Ran Ran looked at the back of Lu Qiming leaving, thinking to himself. It was such a simple method, but she had never heard of it.
She picked out the three fire tung seeds, and when she went back to the business with satisfaction, a thought suddenly popped up in her heart—that senior brother hadn't done this before, so how did he identify it?
......
The Winddew Valley is very low.
Lu Qiming looked at the past from a distance and saw that it was a calm and beautiful wide valley, with rows of neat small buildings built in the north and facing south.
Not far away, there is a clear stream on the opposite side, and the flowers and plants gradually transition into trees on the gentle slope. Through the branches and leaves, I vaguely saw a young deer drinking with its head down.
It's really a scene everywhere.
At this moment, Lu Qiming saw one of the houses suddenly blazing, followed by an earth-shattering explosion, and the entire building exploded into pieces from the center, and Lu Qiming seemed to smell a smell of burnt familiarity from afar.
At this time, Lu Qiming remembered the image of Dean Zhang when he first met...... Probably that's the process!
Fenglugu suddenly lit up and shouted angrily: "Old Sun, you blow up you! What do you want to do in my house! Hey, you can't move!"
It was Dean Zhang's voice.
Lu Qiming couldn't help laughing, it turned out that it wasn't him who blew up this time.
......
When Lu Qiming passed, several old men were gathered together, blushing and thick-necked, and their tones were very complicated, it was really hard to hear whether they were arguing or laughing. Zhang Dayan was particularly conspicuous - because he was the only one who was chubby.
However, as soon as Lu Qiming got closer, they immediately quieted down, and one by one they regained their amiable elder demeanor, staring at Lu Qiming with a smile.
Lu Qiming heard one of the old men with big eyes whisper to Zhang Dayan: "Old Zhang, look, he is your new apprentice!"
Zhang Dayan also whispered: "Yes...... Right?"
The big-eyed old man's eyes suddenly became bigger: "Lao Zhang, you can't be reliable?"
Lu Qiming couldn't cry or laugh, but he really had to come first. He saluted and said, "Master, seniors. ”
"Hey!" Zhang Dayan replied loudly, attracting a bunch of disdainful glances and still triumphant. At this time, he saw a pitch-black hand patting Lu Qiming's shoulder, and hurriedly jumped over to catch it, shouting: "Old Sun, don't bully my baby apprentice!"
Lao Sun was dazed: "No!"
"Do you still say that?" Zhang Dayan grabbed his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, pointed to the black handprints on his clothes, and shouted: "Look! A handful of ashes have not been washed!"
Lao Sun: "......" He was silent for a long time and muttered: "Lao Zhang, you are really not suitable for accepting apprentices!
After saying this, he turned his smoky face to look at Lu Qiming, and said earnestly: "Xiao Lu, don't bully your master in the future!
Lu Qiming was thinking, did he really need to answer this sentence?
"Huh?!" Lao Sun's words woke up Zhang Dayan, he jumped up and quickly grabbed Lao Sun's other hand, and then made a mark on his other shoulder, and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, now it's symmetrical!"
Lu Qiming was also stunned, and then suddenly said: "Senior Brother Zhuge is also here!"
Zhang Dayan nodded with palpitations and pointed to the second floor of his building.
After watching this scene, Lao Sun covered his eyes and said, "Lao Zhang, you are afraid that the apprentice's problem is really hopeless!"
"What do you know!" Zhang Dayan snorted, turned around and pulled Lu Qiming towards the house with a sunny smile on his face, "Apprentice, you came just in time, I asked you something......
Lao Sun and the others watched Zhang Dayan's very doggy apprentice open the door and help the apprentice close the door, and they were all convinced.
