Li Xuanyu gently dusted the dew on his sleeves, untied the bun on his head, and his long hair was scattered, tied up casually with a hairband, and draped behind him.

Returning to the small peak where he lived, Li Xuanyu first went back to the attic, changed his clothes, and went to the back of a few acres of medicine fields, rolled up his sleeves, and began to carefully serve the elixir in the medicine field, loosening the soil, weeding, fertilizing, and cleaning up the plague insects that appeared from time to time.

Each of these elixirs is a delicate master, each with its own temper, and it is not easy to serve at all, but Li Xuanyu has a calm temperament, but he enjoys it.

However, two or three acres of small medicine fields, there are a lot of elixirs planted, purple and red, fragrant, at this time it is sunny and warm, many flowers and plants are stretching branches and leaves, the veins are clearly visible, shining with brilliance.

Li Xuanyu took care of them one by one, and finally came to the medicine field, surrounded by other elixirs, a whole green flower plant, with long branches and leaves, flying with the wind, will make a crisp sound like a silver bell, called bellflower.

This flower is the most cared for by Li Xuanyu, but its value is the lowest among these elixirs in the medicine field.

However, who called Li Xuanyu like it.

Gently flicking the long stems and leaves spreading out of his hand, bursts of silver bells rang slowly, and Li Xuanyu enjoyed it.

"Back then, Brother Wuhua was very accomplished in cultivating spiritual plants, and I heard that the flower he raised since childhood has given birth to flower spirits, which are beautiful and moving, and they are very dependent on him, and the two guys are inseparable all day long, which makes people envious. Li Xuanyu gently rubbed the bellflower in front of him, remembering the past, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Meow. ”

A tanuki came from a distance, barked lazily, seemed to greet Li Xuanyu, and lazily walked to the medicine field, shaking his beard, around the elixir, pretending to patrol the medicine field.

Li Xuanyu glanced at this belated guy, ignored it, and finally played with it, crushed a few pieces of spirit stones with a thick smell in his hand into powder, and sprinkled them in the medicine field.

All the elixirs in the medicine field cast their stems and leaves one after another, and began to absorb the aura that suddenly appeared around them.

Clapping his hands, Li Xuanyu glanced at the civet cat who had just arrived, and said gently, "Come with me." ”

With that, he walked into the attic.

The little ears twitched and twitched, the tanuki meowed indifferently, looked left and right, his eyes rolled wildly, and after struggling, he finally flicked his tail, followed Li Xuanyu, and entered the building one after the other.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut, and a shrill cry rang out, the sound of mourning and wailing.

Li Xuanyu glanced at the fried tanuki, and at some point there was a sharp knife in his hand, scraping the bamboo slip in his hand unhurriedly.

"What, do you think I'm going to kill you?"

Looking at the knife in Li Xuanyu's hand with a smile, the tanuki was stunned, but he was wandering at the door and refused to come.

"When we first met, you stole one of my red carp. ”

Li Xuanyu said without raising his head, "I don't care about you, but the second time, you stole a mountain ginseng from me again." ”

"Meow. The tanuki hung its head and barked aggrievedly.

"It was a 300-year-old mountain ginseng, and it took me a whole day to dig it out intact, and I was going to replenish my body and prepare a stewed soup, but you chewed it in a frenzy, leaving me only a few ginseng whiskers. ”

As he spoke, Li Xuanyu raised his head, looked at the tanuki in the distance, flicking his tail restlessly, and his head getting lower and lower, and said, "As a result, you couldn't stand the power of the medicine, and you ran around, and destroyed a lot of my elixir." ”

"Meow. The tanuki cried out more and more aggrieved.

"You and I know each other as fate, in less than half a year, you destroyed my twenty-three elixirs and stole me seven times. ”

Li Xuanyu continued to scrape the bamboo slips in his hand, glanced at the tanuki whose head almost fell to the ground, shook his head lightly and sighed: "Bad fate." ”

"Meow woo !!" The tanuki immediately raised its head dissatisfied, and its little face was full of complaints, expressing dissatisfaction.

"Huh?" Li Xuanyu snorted lightly, his eyes fell on the tanuki, the tanuki's body was agitated, and he hurriedly lowered his head and squatted in place honestly.

"Destroying so many elixirs for me, you can't afford to pay for it, even if you sell it. Let you take care of the medicine field, slowly pay off the debt, and you slack off. ”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Xuanyu's mouth, and he kept fiddling with the knife in his hand, "It just so happens that the game in the mountains is tired of eating, and it's not bad to change the taste occasionally." ”

"Meow !!" The tanuki cowered in the corner like a frightened woman, full of panic.

"When I first saw you, I was only the size of a rat bird, but now I have gained so much weight, how much do you say you have ruined me?"

Li Xuanyu shook his head, glanced at the round belly of the tanuki in the corner again, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The golden carp yesterday?"

"Meow. The tanuki nodded honestly.

Li Xuanyu was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed: "Maybe it's a mistake to leave you and let you pay off your debts." ”

"Meow. ”

The tanuki shouted aggrievedly.

"Disappeared from my eyes. Li Xuanyu lowered his eyelids and said without raising his head.

Sou!

The tanuki's body flashed, and it disappeared in front of Li Xuanyu in an instant.

Li Xuanyu looked at the empty corner, shook his head with a smile, put down the knife, looked at the sharpened bamboo slips in his hand, and a ball of green qi quietly appeared in his palm, and soon the bamboo slips in his hand faded to cyan and slightly yellow.

Reaching out to lift the golden pen on the side, dipped in the spiritual ink in the inkstone, Li Xuanyu's back was straight, hanging his wrist and writing, the pen walked between the dragon and the snake, leaving a line of ink on the bamboo slip.

Slowly closing the pen, Li Xuanyu looked at the ancient script written on the bamboo slip [Void but unyielding, moving and out, more and more poor, it is better to stay in the middle], the corner of his eyes was raised, his fingers were lightly swiped, and the original ink suddenly faded away.

At this time, a light footstep came from outside the door, from far and near, stopping in front of the door.

"Aoba?"

Li Xuanyu asked softly.

"It's me, Senior Brother Xuanyu. ”

Aoba outside the door hurriedly replied.

"Come in. ”

Li Xuanyu put down the golden pen in his hand and watched this somewhat shy little junior brother walk in.

"Senior brother, this is the white rune paper you wanted, as well as dansha. Aoba held a box in his hand and placed it on the wooden table in front of Li Xuanyu.

In the wooden box, there are stacks of thick blank rune paper, slightly exuding the faint fragrance of wood pulp, and there are several small boxes on the side, where the dansha used to draw talismans is placed.

"Well, thank you. Li Xuanyu nodded slightly, said and picked up a piece of rune paper, put it on the table, smoothed it with the paperweight on the side, picked up the golden hair pen on the side, condensed slightly, opened a box of dansha, dipped in the Dan ink full of rich aura and began to pen on the rune paper, the whole body along the arm, wrist, gathered in the fingertips, a stream of aura along the tip of the pen continued to pour into the rune paper, and finally in one go.

Aoba on the side looked at the aura in front of him stupidly, if it wasn't for the light eye, Aoba would never believe that someone could draw a spirit rune so easily, even if it was the simplest aura rune.

Li Xuanyu looked at the talisman seal that had just been drawn, and his eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, although it was only a very basic spirit rune, but with the continuous drawing, his attainments in calligraphy were a little more refined.

In the past few years, Li Xuanyu has sealed and cultivated, and he has immersed himself here to cultivate, isn't it just to comprehend a deeper truth!

"Aoba, this talisman is for you. Li Xuanyu looked at the green leaves in front of him and said with a smile.

"Ahh Aoba looked at the talisman seal handed over, his face turned red, and he carefully took it with both hands.

Aoba has good qualifications, but he comes from a poor background, and he usually doesn't have any cultivation resources, although every month the sect will allocate some necessary things such as pills, but at most, it is to maintain the disciple's cultivation without regression, as for wanting to improve, you need to work hard.

And Li Xuanyu came to Cangyun Sect three years ago, although he has been low-key all these years, he still showed a deep level of talisman making skills, and he is well-known in the sect, and now the master is also very fond of it, so he made an exception and allocated a small spirit peak to live alone.

Today's Aoba is Li Xuanyu's follower, and it is undeniable that there is a utilitarian side, but Li Xuanyu still doesn't hate Aoba, a delicate and shy junior brother.

At least, it is also good to have a junior brother who is not bad in qualifications and is also well-behaved and clever, which can save a lot of tedious things.

"By the way, senior brother, have you heard? There are many senior brothers in the sect participating in the big competition this time! Some people have even opened a handicap!" Aoba said suddenly.

"Who's the guts? Li Xuanyu raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"It's not Senior Brother Zhang Chun yet, this time Senior Brother Xuanyu, you are also on the hot spot in this big competition. Saying that, Aoba quietly lowered his voice, "I heard that Senior Brother, your odds are not low." ”

"You know, you know, it's not like you're participating. Li Xuanyu looked at Aoba and asked with a smile.

"How can there be~" Aoba denied it with a little weakness, and when he saw that Senior Brother Xuanyu no longer asked, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again.

"I don't know what's going on, this year's big competition suddenly became lively, in addition to the chiefs of the peaks, there were also many traveling senior brothers who rushed back. Senior Brother Lu Yun of Qinglin Peak just now is said to have come back from outside. ”

"When Senior Brother Lu left last year, it seems that he was already in the late stage of Qi refining, so he must have cultivated more deeply now. ”

"By the way, senior brother, I heard that in the sect this year, there is a disciple who seems to have entered the sword mound and obtained an ancient sword. ”

......

Listening to Aoba chattering, Li Xuanyu slowly flipped through the rune paper in the box, while listening to these trivial matters with interest.

It's a bit lonely to live in isolation, and it's not bad to do that once in a while.

"Senior brother, there is still half a month to go before the New Year's Day, aren't you ready to prepare?" Aoba said, suddenly asking.

"It's just a competition, there's nothing to prepare for. Li Xuanyu said, his expression suddenly moved, looking at the location of the Cangyun Sect Master's Peak.

For some reason, Li Xuanyu suddenly felt a palpitation, and the peachwood sword beside him also shone slightly.

"What's going on, there's no one here to threaten me, right?"
