As soon as Mr. Zhu left, Mr. Dai hurried to the backyard, saw his son lying on the ground, and hurriedly asked, "The dog's illness ...... All right? ”

"I've exorcised the possessed spirits." Zhao Xiao picked up the bamboo basket on his back: "Thanks to the help of the other two colleagues." ”

"Good, good." Master Dai hurriedly ordered his subordinates to help the young master elsewhere, and Wang Miaoshou also reminded:

"Young Master Dai has been possessed by spirits these days, and my body probably needs to be slowly recuperated. When he wakes up, feed him more light soup and don't get contaminated with meat and wine. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Xiao nodded in agreement.

"Good, good." Master Dai couldn't hide his excitement, and pointed outside: "That Mr. Zhu ...... just now"

Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu has contributed a lot, but he doesn't like mundane affairs. ”

Master Dai naturally knew, and he hurriedly arranged for the housekeeper to wrap a silver cake and give it to Mr. Zhu as a reward.

"The dog is healed today, thanks to the two of them, and the old man should give him a generous gift to thank him." Master Dai smiled all over his face: "Why don't you go to the front hall to rest and eat, and stay in the house tonight?" ”

Wang Miaoshou waved his hand a little stiffly: "No need, there are still robes waiting for the gang in the temple, so I'll go back first." ”

Master Dai also sent a package of silver cakes to Wang Miaoshou, and also wrapped a lot of cooked noodles with lotus leaves. Wang Miaoshou showed an embarrassed smile, carefully put away the gift, didn't say anything, and left quickly with a jujube stick.

"Wang Miaoshou is not having a good time?" Zhao Xiao touched his chin and said, "I think his skills are not bad, he should have been on the battlefield." ”

"Zhao Sheng doesn't know?" Master Dai explained: "After the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, many old soldiers were placed in Chengyang County, and Wang Miaoshou was also one of them. Those who live near the General's Temple are all these lonely widows and old soldiers. Many of them are physically disabled, unable to go to the fields or do work, and they just rely on the king's temple guards to barely make ends meet. ”

"Oh." Zhao Xiao responded casually.

"Zhao Sheng doesn't have to find another hostel to settle down in tonight, the beds and bedding in those places are not clean, and there may be petty theft at night." Master Dai looked like he cared for his juniors: "If you don't dislike it, stay at my house for a few more days." ”

Zhao Xiao doesn't care, anyway, the matter has been resolved, who wouldn't be happy to eat and drink?

……

It was late at night, and Zhao Xiao returned to the guest room arranged by the Dai family, with a cloth bag on the table and a folded silver cake inside.

This kind of silver cake with a diameter of two inches and engraved with the words "Tianxia Tongbao" is the official silver cast by Tianxia in the previous dynasty. Because of the stability of the process and the abundance of stock, even if the Tianxia Dynasty has long since fallen apart, similar silver cakes and gold cakes are still the currencies that circulate in various countries.

"It's really rich, I gave away almost two hundred taels before and after." Zhao Xiao played with the silver cake.

"Showing magic, asking for money, and still being happy?"

Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded in my ears, and I saw a woman appear out of thin air, floating near Zhao Xiao. She looks about twenty years old, with a clear appearance, brilliant eyes, green silk on her head, half a bun and half draped, wearing a purple wide-sleeved skirt, a green rope waist, and a jade pendant.

Zhao Xiao was not surprised by the woman's appearance, and put the silver cake on the table and swirled: "I didn't ask for it, it was someone who took the initiative to send it." Besides, if I don't take it, I can show that I am noble and noble, and I do not admire the glory of the world? ”

"Indulging in vulgar feelings is immortal from the far immortal path." The woman in the purple dress said indifferently.

Zhao Huang shrugged his shoulders: "Lingxiao Shangxian, what you said is not right. Mortals are already 108,000 miles away from the immortal avenue of immortal life, and how many immortal cultivators have learned their whole lives, and in the end they are still a pile of white bones. Let's just say that Mr. Zhu during the day, he looks unearthly enough, but has he really cut off vulgarity? ”

Ling Xiaoling reclined weakly, without any support under his body, like an immortal sleeping in the clouds: "This person is nothing more than obsessed with the appearance of the world, and his heart is still difficult to get rid of in the world." ”

"Not only is the heart unearthly, but the body is also in the world." Zhao Xiao mentioned a silver cake: "In the final analysis, Mr. Zhu also lives in the world. Although he has achieved his first achievements on the way of breathing and refining qi, he has not yet reached the realm of completely clearing grains. Dining Xia drinks the wind and swallows the dew, which sounds quite detached, but the premise is that he can do it. If someone can really jump around without eating, or even fly away from the sky and call for wind and rain, then he really doesn't have to worry about making a living. It's hard to make money. ”

Ling Xiao stared at Zhao Xiao for a long time, until the other party was stared at for a while, and then said: "If you can use the benefits of your tongue on cultivation, you will enter the realm for a thousand miles." ”

"How can it be so easy?" Zhao Xiao said: "Let's just say that the first thing is to breathe clear qi, dredge the five treasures, condense the true qi of the five treasures, and then use this to refine the muscles and bones meridians." Now is not the time of antiquity, the heaven and earth are sparse, only a few famous mountains, there are still blessed lands full of clear air. I look at that Mr. Zhu, the turbidity in his body has not yet been exhausted, and he was punched a few times by the young master of the Dai family, and he still had a secret wound when he left! ”

"So you have to find the True Yuan Lock as soon as possible." Ling Xiao lowered his eyes: "With this thing, you can open the True Yuan Jade Mansion, and the inside is full of pure qi, which is of great benefit to cultivation." ”

"But the true yuan lock was sent to the Chongxuan Pavilion in Dongsheng Capital." Zhao Xiao put away the silver cake and sat on the edge of the bed: "I am not the son of those powerful people in Dongshengdu, if you want to enter the Chongxuan Pavilion, you must first get the recommendation of the head of the local pavilion." I tried to go out to run errands in front of Mr. Zhang, just to get this recommendation.

As for money, spices, bait, spells, and refining spiritual materials in these years don't need money? Just the 'Clear Void Mu Divine Array' you taught yesterday, where can I find such a large piece of Turtle Mountain Xuanyan as a formation pedestal? I've never heard of this stuff before! ”

"There is no Guishan Xuanyan, and it can be replaced by Kunlun jade, but the effect is slightly shallow." Lingxiao is like a few treasures: "Kunlun Continent is rich in Kunlun jade, even if the times change, this point still does not change." ”

Zhao Xiao was convinced: "No matter how rich Kunlun jade is, it is also a precious spiritual material, known as ten taels of gold and one tael of jade!" It would be good for a Jianghu warlock to have a finger-sized Kunlun jade in his hand. Kunlun jade, which can accommodate one person to sit and lie down and refine qi, I am afraid that it will not have to break into the palaces of various kings to find it! ”

"The clear qi is sparse, and it is difficult to see the work of exhaling and refining the qi, even if you think about it, it is just a waste of mind." Ling Xiao said.

"The effect is still there." Zhao Huang sat on the bed, raised his hand and nodded between his eyebrows: "The Nine Palaces Shouyi Method you taught is indeed exquisite and unique. Today, I noticed that my calligraphy runes are much faster than in the past, even if it is a talisman with smoke and void, I can write it in one stroke, and the true qi will be carried forward without any delay. ”

Ling Xiao's expression was still cold: "Jiugong Shou Dacheng, don't say that you don't need pen and ink, you don't even need to raise your fingers and draw falsely." At the beginning of the mind, the mud pill palace has its own cloud seal true text, and everything outside the body has evolved accordingly...... However, with this kind of cultivation, it is already naïve. What's more, the method of keeping one in the Nine Palaces is not alone, if you don't have the foundation of breathing and refining qi, you can't even touch the door of the Mud Pill Palace. ”

"Look, that's going back again, isn't it?" Zhao Xiao spread his hands: "Tomorrow, when I take Master Dai's reply, I will leave, I am still far from Chongxuan Pavilion." ”

"It's a pity that the True Yuan Lock was once in front of you." Lingxiao sighed.

"At that time, I couldn't keep it even if I wanted to."

A few months ago, when the astrologer of the Huaiying Pavilion was looking at the qi, he found that there was a spiritual light in the mountains and forests of the northeast, which was clearly a sign of the birth of rare treasures. So the Huaiying Pavilion collectively set out to find a mausoleum that had been patronized by tomb thieves.

In order to prevent other pavilions from coming to compete for merit, or from intervening in other mountains and wilderness, Zhang Duanjing, the first member of the Huaiying Pavilion, immediately led a group of pavilion students into the mausoleum, and Zhao Huang was naturally among them.

Later, everyone found out that this is a mausoleum, but it is actually to cover up a cultivation cave, which contains many spiritual treasures and practice secrets.

In the process of dispersing and exploring, Zhao Xiao accidentally touched a jade cong, which stimulated a surging force to stun Zhao Xiao, and when he woke up, he had been dragged to the ground for treatment.

At that time, the Chongxuan Pavilion of Dongsheng Capital also knew about the birth of the Cave Mansion, and a large number of people went to the local area, forcibly occupied the Cave Mansion, and ordered the Huaiying Pavilion to hand over all the things found before. Then the mausoleum cave was completely emptied and left with a pile of treasures.

Zhao Huang didn't know why at the time, but when he returned to Huaiying Hall afterwards, he began to dream of Lingxiao.

According to Ling Xiao, she is an ancient immortal of Kunlun Continent. In the past, the world was different from today, the immortals were mixed, all kinds of spirits and demons were rampant, and disputes arose frequently.

And Ling Xiao himself was killed in a fighting method, and a little true spirit escaped into the true yuan lock of the jade cong magic weapon he refined, in order to avoid killing and robbery, and slowly rebuilt.

However, the Zhenyuan lock also changed hands several times later, and finally fell into the hands of a loose cultivator named Bai Yigong. This generation is a white-fronted tiger cultivating a big demon, deeply admiring the Xuanmen Immortal Dao, but also very good at fighting and killing, provoked a lot of enemies, and finally hid in the deep cave mansion, and repaired the mausoleum as a cover.

It's a pity that this white-fronted prince finally failed to prove the immortal path and dissolved in the cave, and the true yuan lock was also isolated from the world for nearly a thousand years.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiao's arrival allowed Ling Xiao to take the opportunity to get out of the True Yuan Lock and see the light of day again.

Lingxiao claimed to have opened up a fairy cave in ancient times, called "Zhenyuan Jade Mansion". The True Yuan Lock is the key to open the Cave Portal. As long as Zhao Huang retrieves the True Yuan Lock and then goes to the True Yuan Jade Mansion according to the guidance, Ling Xiao himself can rebuild the True Form Law Body. As a reward, the immortal family magic method and innocent treasure hidden in the cave were allowed to be cultivated and enlightened by Zhao Huang, and there were countless gold and jade treasures and elixir fairy herbs, which he could use. What's more, the cave is full of pure energy, which is a wonderful realm for cultivating immortals.

This big immortal fate fell down, and Zhao Xiao was also stunned for a long time, because in his opinion, the spirit flute body did not exist, and a little true spirit was hidden in the depths of the brain palace, and her situation was not much different from that of a female ghost. In the past, the two only met in a dream, and it was only in the past few days that Lingxiao was able to appear in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that Ling Xiao had taught several advanced techniques, Zhao Xiao himself was effective and had entered the country well, it is estimated that he would have suspected that he was possessed by a female ghost.

Shaking off these distracting thoughts, Zhao Xiao straightened his body, slowly exhaled and refined qi, pondered and concentrated, and began to practice his homework every day.

……

The night was dark, but the sky was clear. The bright moon hangs high, the hazy moon shines down on the hills, and ordinary people can also distinguish the direction of the road with the naked eye.

Mr. Zhu's steps were fast, and he carried a big burden on his back, which he purchased in Chengyang County today, and the consumption was naturally the silver cake offered by the Dai family.

Mr. Zhu, who is a self-confessed person who cultivates the truth, does not like to deal with ordinary people. Even if the old man of the Dai family can take out four or five heavy silver cakes casually, and his rich family assets can be seen, Mr. Zhu still looks down on this person.

"The family has a wealth of thousands of gold, and still misses the worldly relationship, which is really a self-imprisoned house. If it were me, I would have spent my money in the mountains a long time ago, building an altar and burning it day and night...... There is also that Zhao Xiao, who is from the imperial court and is showing off everywhere, lest others not know. It's unbearable, it's really vulgar! ”

While thinking in his heart and scolding on his lips, Mr. Zhu suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest and abdomen, his breath was uneven, and he couldn't stop coughing.

"Hateful! That young master of the Dai family was possessed by a spirit, and he actually knew how to punch the evil qi into the meridians, so he shouldn't have rushed forward if he knew this. ”

Mr. Zhu was annoyed in his heart, his cultivation was still shallow. Although in the Lishan Rock Spring Cave, I accidentally found the qi refining method left by my predecessors, but it took dozens of years to get nothing more than a light and healthy body, a little bit of longitudinal lifting, qi distribution and other small techniques, and in recent years, it has become more and more difficult to enter the country.

If it weren't for the fact that he was so poor on the mountain that he couldn't open the pot, why would Mr. Zhu go down the mountain to do such pickled things as exorcising evil spirits and eliminating demons for big families?

"Shameful, shameful...... Who?! ”

Mr. Zhu was walking on the road, and suddenly saw a figure in front of him, and under the moonlight, he could vaguely see that the other party was dressed in a simple short brown, covering his head and covering his face.

After refining qi for a long time, Mr. Zhu's sense of qi is far more acute than that of ordinary people, and he immediately noticed that this person is full of murderous energy, which is the temperament that can only be cultivated by a strong person who has survived a hundred battles!

Mr. Zhu instinctively raised his hand, intending to pull out the wooden sword on his back, but unexpectedly, the masked figure was like electricity, and a wooden stick stabbed straight at him.

There is no edge and no sharpness, and the chest is pierced through the back.

……

Xiaohong sat at the table yawning, as a girl in the room, she was more concerned about taking care of the young master of the Dai family than others. Anyway, he was bought by the Dai family, and if he wants to stand on his feet in the future, he must firmly hold on to the big tree of the young master.

So after learning that the young master's madness was cured, Xiaohong was very happy in her heart, even if she didn't sleep, she had to wait until the young master woke up.

Seeing that she was about to get through the whole night, Xiaohong also felt sleepy, but as soon as she heard movement on the bed, she excitedly lifted the curtain.

Seeing the pale and thin young master of the Dai family, staring at him with a pair of eyes, Xiaohong's heart was pounding, and said, "Young master, are you awake?" I—I'm going to call the old man......"

Xiaohong was just about to leave, but her wrist was grabbed hard, and when she turned around, she saw the young master of the Dai family dragging herself to the bed violently.

"Young, young master?" Xiaohong's face was flushed, like a ripe apple: "Are you hungry or thirsty?" I'll get it for you. ”

The young master of the Dai family seemed to understand, his eyes were dyed with a layer of dark green, he unconsciously bared his teeth and grinned, his mouth and nose protruded outward, and the hairs on his cheeks and sideburns quickly grew.

Seeing this, Xiaohong opened her mouth to scream, but the sharp teeth in the mouth of the young master of the Dai family bit her throat, and bright red blood gushed out, dyeing Xiaohong's face even redder.
