Chapter 37: Nalan
The mountains are hollow and the birds are whispering, which is extremely quiet, which is perfect for a scholar like Chu Qianqiu, and the essence of Yuan Mo is rich here, which is a good place to cultivate.
The two practiced together all day long, and at first they often talked and laughed, but later the two talked less, and then it developed to the point that no one paid attention to anyone. Chu Qianqiu had a drooping face all day long, and his age was even more annoying, as if he was preoccupied.
A month passed in a hurry, and after cultivating on this day, Chu Qianqiu slowly walked to the age and said, "Are you cultivating well?"
"It's okay. "Age dodged his eyes, and at a glance he could see that he was not telling the truth.
Chu Qianqiu buried his head in his arms, as if he was struggling with something. Suddenly, he raised his head sharply and said, "I said it, I found that after a month of cultivation, my cultivation did not advance but retreated, and I retreated to the Shangqing realm again, I think you have a similar situation." After speaking, Chu Qianqiu stared at the age firmly.
"Hey, I don't know what's wrong, I've pushed it to the Shangbai realm now, I originally wanted to tell you, but seeing that you have a sad face all day long, I'm afraid of causing you trouble again, so I didn't dare to tell you, Brother Swing ......" Age said with a crying voice, tears were already rolling in his eyes.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with our cultivation method, or is it because of the spirit stone?"
"No, we used to cultivate like this, absorbing the essence of Yuan Mo and comprehending the exercises, there is nothing wrong, how can it be. The content of Yuan Mo essence in the spirit stone is extremely large, and I think it's no problem. Age said suspiciously.
"Then I don't know. Chu Qianqiu lowered his head helplessly, and both of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, followed by a crackling sound like a tree branch breaking.
Chu Qianqiu's nerves immediately tensed, he asked his age to stay here and not move, he followed the voice and slowly looked over, only to see a slender young man waving his arms constantly, directing a fire dragon to attack a branch ten meters away.
There was a red-clothed maid next to her, preparing exquisite snacks and fruits, side dishes and wine, as well as hot water towels, folding fan sachets, new clothes, etc., which should be enjoyed after the young man finished cultivating.
"This young man's exercises are so strange!" Chu Qianqiu exclaimed when he saw the fire dragon.
The young man was immediately alert, raised his hand and hit a stone quickly, Chu Qianqiu dodged and looked at the two with a smile. The woman's face was looked at like this, a little shy, and her head was lowered.
The young man looked calm, took a bite of the apple slowly, and said to the woman, "You go back first, I'll come as soon as I'm done." ”
The woman left in a hurry, Chu Qianqiu opened the folding fan and covered her mouth and said with a smile: "When you come out to cultivate, you have to bring a maid, Brother Nalan is so Yaxing." From the woman's words just now, Chu Qianqiu knew that this young man's name was Nalan Wen.
"Good eyesight, in the next alchemist Nalan Wen, dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname. "There are two reasons why Nalan Wen revealed his identity so quickly: one is that the Nalan family has a certain influence in Xiangcheng, and the other is that although the alchemist is as noble as the Wu Wen master, he is also one of the two great veins of Qi Ming and Tianyin Vein, which has absolute deterrent power.
Chu Qianqiu smiled slightly and said, "In Xia Chu Qianqiu, Brother Nalan don't worry, I won't say it, man." He said with a smile that you know.
Nalan Wen was shocked, he didn't expect Chu Qianqiu to be so indifferent after revealing his identity, when he noticed Chu Qianqiu's clothes, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed, "You are a first-class literary teacher?"
"Brother Swing, what are you doing, you haven't come back for so long, hey, who are you?"
Chu Qianqiu introduced the two of them, and seeing that there was no malice towards each other, they started talking, and it could be seen from Nalan Wen's demeanor that the literary master was indeed the most noble identity.
In the ensuing conversation, Chu Qianqiu learned that in addition to the five major professions in the world of pen and ink, there are also ten major families and twenty middle families, and their Nalan family is one of the twenty middle families and one of the two middle families in Xiangcheng. Xiangcheng is considered a small city among the ten cities and eight states, so there is no large family, and the entire Xiangcheng is also controlled by the Nalan family and another medium-sized family, the Yang family.
Nalan Wen is the only son of Nalan Kan, the head of the Nalan family, and is very spoiled by his mother, so he has all the "habits" of those gentlemen, and he is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he likes beauty, so he has to be accompanied by beautiful women all the time, but he likes to be quiet, so he took the maid to this mountain to practice.
Chu Qianqiu also learned that the Nalan clan was one of the two great peerless veins, and the bloodline inheritance was good, so only Nalan Wen in the Shangbai realm was already a second-grade alchemist.
Alchemists, like scholars, are also divided into nine grades, but the difference with literary masters is that they do not have their own institutions, and the pianists are the same.
"Brother Chu, you are a noble scholar, how can you live in this wilderness, besides, there are girls of age, why don't you go to my house, I will treat the next two well, today I can meet the two in the next three lives, please appreciate the light." Nalan Wen hugged his fists and said politely, looking at it, he had the style of a family.
Of course, Chu Qianqiu understood what this meant, although the Nalan family was one of the two great families in Xiangcheng, but being able to make friends with a literary teacher, although there was only one product, it was still worth it.
Besides, they just needed to replenish their supplies, and he also wanted to ask Nalan Wen about the problems he encountered in his cultivation, so he didn't excuse himself and agreed.
This is what Nalan Wen wanted to see the most, he reached out and patted on the storage bag, and a spirit beast with a lion's head and leopard body two feet tall was summoned, and the beast also had a horn on its head, and it was driving something similar to a saddle on its back.
"At this time, my Nalan family's highest-grade flying spirit beast, the second-order supreme spirit beast Thunder One-horned Rhino. Nalan Wen said proudly.
"A big guy can fly, and I haven't seen anything like wings. Chu Qianqiu curiously looked around the Thunder One-horned Rhinoceros, and sighed how could there be such a big gap between the family and the family, their Nian family's learning camel was only a first-order superlative, and it was still a ground runner.
"It's like a lion and a leopard, but it's called a rhinoceros. "Age suddenly felt a little unhappy.
As the saying goes, a woman's heart is a needle, how can Chu Qianqiu and Nalan Wen, two untrained teenagers, understand.
After Nalan Wen helped his age up, he was just about to go up, Chu Qianqiu angrily pulled him down, and Nalan Wen hurriedly smiled and stuffed a few pills into his arms.
