Chapter 55: The Little Tree in the Corner
Mo Hansheng analyzed: "In this way, entering Yunmeng Canyon will not only have to face the various murders that live in this place itself, but also may be attacked by other ill-intentioned people. ”
"Yes." Li Hongmei does not deny this.
Mo Hansheng glanced at her.
Although the two don't communicate much on weekdays, he can vaguely detect Li Hongmei's desire to improve her cultivation from a few simple contacts, and it may not be easy for her to give up this plan to enter Yunmeng Canyon.
Sure enough, Li Hongmei did not hesitate at all, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Lu Chengfeng has the head of the family as a backer, and he may have the opportunity to obtain this thing through other means." But there's only one way to go, and no matter how much risk there is, I'm going to get into it. ”
Seeing this, Mo Hansheng didn't plan to convince her more.
Li Hongmei looked back at him and said, "Don't worry, although you and I have reached a mutual aid agreement, but there is a word in advance, if it is too dangerous, you can decide whether to help or not according to the situation, I ......." ”
Before she finished her words, Mo Hansheng had already interrupted: "I'll go." ”
His words were calm and unwavering.
Li Hongmei was a little surprised, and emphasized: "Although you still owe me a favor now, this trip is too dangerous, and I will not force you to do this." ”
"It's not just for that favor, I also have my own plans, and I have my own consideration as for the risks." Mo Hansheng turned his head and glanced in the direction of the secret room and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
"Most of the murderous creatures in the canyon are in a state of hibernation, and sleep will go to its deepest level for ten days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. And after these ten days, the hibernating beasts will wake up one after another, but this is the most dangerous time of the year in the entire Yunmeng Canyon. ”
In order to hone his martial arts, Mo Hansheng had survived in the forest for a period of time, so he could naturally figure out the truth.
Animals that have just woken up from hibernation are the weakest, but also the most dangerous.
Because hunger is the most ferocious beast, they will desperately prey on all living creatures that come before them.
Mo Hansheng thought for a while and said, "In other words, there is only half a month left to be full." And as soon as the calmest ten days in Yunmeng Canyon passed, it was almost time to set off for the Demon Refining Sect. ”
"Yes, if we don't get out of the Yunmeng Canyon alive after these fifteen days, most of us will never be able to get out again, and there will be no way to talk about going to the Demon Refining Sect." Li Hongmei hesitated for a moment and persuaded, "You regret it now, it's still too late." ”
Mo Hansheng refused lightly: "Needless to say, I am not a pampered young master in a big family, and I have seen no less sinister than you since I was a child." ”
"In that case, I'm going to make some preparations to make sure that I have as much chance of survival as possible. I probably won't be in Qingfeng Residence for the next fifteen days, so try to avoid contact with other people in the Sunset Sect. Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Hongmei no longer persuaded anything, and was about to leave after an explanation.
Mo Hansheng looked at her departing back, as if he suddenly remembered something, and shouted, "Wait a minute." ”
Li Hongmei turned to look at him, not knowing what else she hadn't explained clearly.
Mo Hansheng turned his head to look at the snowflakes flying outside the window, and the corners of his mouth were not easy to detect: "Chinese New Year's Eve is not suitable to go out." ”
"What's that?"
"It's easy to touch three dirty things."
"What is dirty, and why exactly three?"
Mo Hansheng shook his head and said, "This is a legend that has existed since ancient times, and it can be regarded as a kind of custom. ”
"That'...... Well, one night won't delay anything. Li Hongmei hesitated, nodded and said, "Then, I'll go back to the room." ”
When she walked to the door, she suddenly paused again, looked back at Mo Hansheng, and stopped talking.
"What else?"
"I've never left Qingfeng Ju for so long, and there is something in the valley that I can't rest assured of, and I want you to take care of it for a while."
"Tell me?"
"You come with me." Li Hongmei said this and walked straight out of the bamboo building.
Seeing this, Mo Hansheng could only follow her out, and the two came to Li Hongmei's residence one after the other.
Bypassing the humble wooden house, I saw a small low tree in the corner.
The small tree was no more than a man tall, with no flowers or leaves on its bare branches, bent over by the snow.
The tree grows between the mountain wall and the wooden house, and it is very hidden that it is difficult to notice its existence without getting close to it.
"This is what I planted secretly from Lu Chengfeng, I don't know if it's because I have been in this dark corner for too long, and I can't get sunshine all year round, but I have never seen this tree bloom for several years, not once." Li Hongmei dusted off the snow and gently stroked a thin branch, her eyes were extremely rare and gentle, "Even so, I am still reluctant to give it up." ”
"It is the law of nature that trees need to be watered, fertilized, and exposed to light in order to bloom. If you don't give it enough care, how can you blame it for not producing beautiful flowers? A trace of pity and guilt flashed in Mo Hansheng's heart, he was talking about trees in his mouth, and people were reflected in his eyes.
Li Hongmei looked at him and said, "So, I hope that in the next period of time, you can take care of it for me." ”
Mo Hansheng also looked at her and said, "Yes." ”
Li Hongmei bowed and saluted: "Thank you." ”
Mo Hansheng clenched his fists and returned the salute: "No thanks." ”
The wind was blowing, the snow was breathing, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Then, I'll go back to the house and rest." Li Hongmei chuckled and said goodbye.
"Okay."
The wooden door was lightly closed, and Mo Hansheng also turned around and returned to the bamboo building, he looked at the wooden house in a daze for a moment, and then closed the window.
As he paced around the room, he stumbled upon a small cloth bag on the bookcase.
Mo Hansheng stepped forward to open it and took a look, there were some water jade inside, and counted them carefully, a total of ten.
This is the Yuanyu delegated by the sect, Lu Chengfeng's share for a year, Li Hongmei took it back by the way on the way back, and I don't know when she put this thing on the table.
Yuanyu is really a scarce thing for monks, and a sect disciple with a big background like Lu Chengfeng only has ten pieces a year, not to mention those lonely and helpless mountain cultivators, and their lives will only be more miserable.
If it is not mixed well, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a beggar among the monks, no wonder Li Hongmei persuaded herself not to leave the Sunset Sect easily.
Mo Hansheng shook his head and took out a white jade box from the Qiankun Ring, which was the treasure he had obtained from the hand of the flawless son.
The jade box opened slightly, and there was an extremely cold chill between his fingers, Mo Hansheng did not feel any discomfort, but the entire room condensed a thin layer of frost in an instant.
He hurriedly closed it, the movement made by Hanyu was too shocking, Li Hongmei was still in the middle of the breeze at the moment, and there were Yu Jinsong and the three of them outside the valley.
He thought about it for a while, but decided not to use it for the time being.
In this way, tonight he first practiced with water jade, he took off his boots and went to the couch, and began to meditate with his knees crossed and his eyes closed.
In his sea of qi, the three true qi condensed air currents were slowly flowing, each thicker than the other.
Mo Hansheng was condensing the rudiments of the fourth airflow at this moment.
Unconsciously, the night passed, and when Mo Hansheng opened his eyes, the sky was already slightly bright.
He spread out his palm, and all that remained was a pile of white powder.
This night, more than a dozen water jades were consumed, and although the prototype of the fourth air flow in the sea of qi had grown a lot, it had not yet taken shape.
After consuming so much water jade in one night, I haven't been able to enter the fourth layer of the Refining Qi Realm, and I don't know how much Yuan Jade I need to prepare to cultivate to the ninth layer of the Refining Qi Realm or even the Foundation Realm.
Mo Hansheng couldn't help but sigh, cultivating immortals was really a bottomless pit.
