In the next few days, the tide of money appeared in this little lotus lake every day.

The scenery of this small lotus lake is beautiful and beautiful, but it is far away from the residences of the people in the valley, so few people come here.

The water here is turquoise, and although the lake is not wide, it is extremely deep. There is a small island in the lake, surrounded by five mountains, the mountain shape is either rugged or mellow and beautiful, namely Jianji Ridge, Chicao Mountain, Baiya Peak, Xiyue Tianchi and Jumping Spring Mountain.

The five mountains are like the five petals of a lotus flower in the middle of the lake, and the island in the lake is the lotus canopy at the stamen of the lotus flower, so the name of this island is "Lotus Island".

The valley is a land of four seasons of eternal spring, with five hills and lotus ponds in the lake full of colorful mountain flowers.

When Qian Chao first came here, he couldn't help but secretly praise that this place is really a Zhongling treasure land with excellent charm and exquisite scenery. However, he didn't care about the scenery here, and took a cursory look at the distribution of the mountains near the Little Lotus Lake, and began to look for the spiritual veins here.

His method is very simple, and his idea is even simpler, since this little lotus lake is a place where spiritual veins converge, and the lake is not big, then I will find a place to meditate and practice by this lake in turn, if I am in the spiritual vein, then there will be a vision that I can feel when I practice.

After many days of hard work, he meditated on the five surrounding mountains and the nearby lake, drawing a circle almost around the lake, and there were still no visions when he practiced.

Later, he set his sights on Lianpeng Island in the middle of the lake.

But what if he could pass, he tried the lake water with his hands, and found that the lake water was cold at this time, in fact, it was useless to try, Qian Chao did not know water, and he had no choice but to continue to make up his mind on the five surrounding mountains, so many days passed.

These days, Qian Chao travels back and forth between Little Lotus Lake and Youming Valley, although it is not particularly far away, but for him, he can only make one round trip a day, and it is impossible to go back to Youming Valley for lunch. Otherwise, even if he doesn't consider his physical strength, he has to consider whether he can find enough time by this lake, so after breakfast, he hurried to the Little Lotus Lake, and at noon, he will find some wild fruits near the Little Lotus Lake to satisfy his hunger, and when the sun is slanting westward, he will return to Youming Valley, otherwise he will be hungry all night if he delays dinner.

He left late that afternoon, and faintly seemed to hear the sound of Yunpai coming from the direction of Youming Valley, and it seemed that he couldn't get to Chunxiang Hall for dinner anyway.

Qian Chao originally thought that he was going to be hungry, but when he was annoyed, he met Lu Pingchuan who was roasting wild game in the forest, which saved his stomach.

In the next few days, Qian Chao was still in Little Lotus Lake, but as time went by, his heart slowly sank.

This spiritual vein is really too difficult to find, no wonder his old ancestor didn't put his mind on it.

"It's really hard to find!" On this day, Qian Chao sat on the sword mark rock among the five hills, the mountain is not high, the lake is not big, he has searched all over this place these days.

"The ancestor said in the book that the spiritual veins can be divided into three kinds, those that walk in the air, those that walk on the ground and those that travel underground, and the five spirit sects gather are all empty spiritual veins, is it the same for this little lotus lake?" He stood up and looked at the nearby mountains and waters, "I'm afraid it's underground, do you want me to dig a pit to find it?" ”

It is unlikely that you can walk on the ground, and the tide of money has already searched all over this place.

If it is underground, then the tide of money can die.

Now I can only bet that this little lotus lake gathers the empty spirit veins, the kind that walks in the air.

But even if it is a spiritual vein in the air, how can you find it?

Qian Chao suddenly thought of a book about the art of Kanyu that he had read when he was reading at home before, and he was not very interested in the art of Xiangdi, but some of the sayings about mountains, water, and wind were very impressive.

The person who wrote that book believed that these three were basically interrelated, and that a clever feng shui master could roughly deduce the location of the water veins here by seeing the direction of the mountains, and what kind of wind often blows here, in short, the mountains, water and wind can be twisted together and related to each other, and since these three can be related to each other, will there be spiritual veins that are interrelated? He stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, especially in the direction of the young Ming Valley, and a conjecture arose in his heart.

It was already sunny, and it was close to noon, and the two girls, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, had finished their hard work at this time, and they both opened their eyes while sitting cross-legged.

At this time, the sun was already blazing and dazzling, and ordinary people could not look at it directly, but in Yan Xuan's opinion, the sun at this time was a goose-yellow bright circle in the sky, and the sunlight was also warm. ”

It turned out that when climbing the mountain in the morning, the second daughter chatted and said that the Qi refining disciple climbed such a hill as if he was strolling leisurely. Now that Yan Xuan has gone through these years of practice, the panting and weak legs when she climbed the mountain again have long been gone, and she can't help but be very surprised.

Tang Ping smiled when he heard this, put down his raised arms and said: "Sister Yan, the first thing that Qi refining disciples need to learn is the art of controlling the sky, such a hill they can fly up lightly, and some high-level Qi refining disciples can also control their own spiritual weapons to fly up directly, in short, once they become Qi refining disciples, there will be fewer and fewer days to walk with their legs." ”

Yan Xuan nodded, still quite fascinated by what Tang Ping described her. Looking at Tang Ping again, she asked again: "We practice these days, you take me to one place in the morning and one place in the afternoon, and you never stay in one place for a whole day, you said last time that the small pavilion built on the waterfall has a very good view, why don't you go anymore?" ”

"Guess what?" Tang Ping replied.

"If you want me to guess, you are in exchange for this, and the practice is like a second, as if you are looking for ...... Looking for the same? Yan Xuan was just guessing, but she wasn't really sure what Tang Ping was looking for.

"That's right, Sister Yan, I really want to find something, but it's really hard to find, cough, I don't know if there is one!"

"Ah Ping, what are you looking for, tell me, we can also look for it together."

"Hehe, Sister Yan, we're just looking for it together!" Tang Ping said with a smile, seeing Yan Xuan's puzzled look, he said, "I'm looking for a spiritual vein." ”

"Spiritual veins? What is that? Yan Xuan asked puzzled.

"Sister Yan, we are only the body refining disciples of the sect now, and we are not real monks, but including us, those who refine qi and build foundations, as well as Jiedan monks like my sixth grandfather and even higher-level great monks, all of them practice to be simpler, that is, to absorb the aura between heaven and earth by cultivating different mental methods, this aura is everywhere between heaven and earth, but there are more places and some places are less, and where there is more spiritual energy, it is very likely that there is a place with spiritual veins."

Seeing that Yan Xuan still didn't understand very well, Tang Ping stood up and pulled Yan Xuan and said, "It's almost lunch, let's talk while walking." ”

As she spoke, she stomped her foot and said, "There is a mountain under our feet, and this mountain is simply the place where the earth and rocks accumulate and rise on the ground, look there," Tang Ping pointed to a small river at the foot of the mountain that was shining in the sun, "Where there is a lot of water, there is a river." Where there isn't a lot of water, people have to dig wells down to find water, right? ”

Tang Ping motioned to Yan Xuan to look at the surrounding mountains, "Mountains are connected to each other, you see, they are next to each other, although some are higher and some are lower, but they are still connected, this is the mountain range." ”

"It's the same with water, where there's a lot of water, it becomes a spring, a stream, and then a river."

"Reiki is the same, although there is aura everywhere between heaven and earth, but there are always some rich and some lighter places, and these rich aura are connected to the spiritual veins."

"What does that spiritual vein look like, and how can you find it?" Yan Xuan asked.

"The spiritual veins have no appearance, Sister Yan, it's like the wind, we see the wind because the branches and leaves of the trees are shaking, or the wind is wrapped in yellow sand and fallen leaves, so that we can see and hear it, otherwise we can only feel it when it blows."

"Then how did you find the spirit vein you said?" Yan Xuan asked.

"Aren't we just looking for it?" Tang Ping smiled, "But this is a stupid solution." Since the spiritual veins are full of aura, if we are in the spiritual veins, then we will sense it as soon as we practice, just like a person who is accustomed to drinking light wine will immediately be choked if he accidentally drinks a glass of strong wine, and his face will turn drunk, or even get drunk directly. ”

"When we practice in the spiritual vein, we will obviously notice that it is different from usual, at least it should be much greater than usual, but I have never practiced in the spiritual vein, I have just heard people talk about the benefits of the spiritual vein, and I don't know what it feels like, and I only have this stupid way to find the spiritual vein now. Alas, now I really don't know if there is a spiritual vein in this young Ming Valley, it is said that there should be. ”

"However, Sister Yan, with the qualifications of the two of us, even if we don't have that spiritual vein, we can still enter the inner door, if we can find that spiritual vein, it is naturally a good thing, and if we can't find it, it's nothing."

Hearing this, Yan Xuan spoke: "Ah Ping, let me ask you, you didn't actually find this spiritual vein for yourself, right?" ”

"That's right, if this spiritual vein is really found, it will be nothing more than icing on the cake for us, and it will be a blessing for that money boy." Tang Ping replied casually.

This surprised Yan Xuan, she thought that when she asked like this, Tang Ping would answer with a twist, but she didn't expect her to answer so generously, Yan Xuan couldn't help but ask again: "Oh, how do you say?" ”

"Didn't you notice? It's been a long time, that kid's complexion is not quite right, he is in a hurry, like a debt dodger, and he is often not seen even when he is eating, I guess the only thing that can force him to be like this is practice, with that kid's cleverness, there will be no problem in understanding the scriptures, then there is only one thing that bothers him, it must be his poor qualifications that lead to poor cultivation, if I can find this spiritual vein, it can be regarded as helping him. Alas, it's a pity that this spiritual vein is really hard to find. ”

"That money tide ......"

Before Yan Xuan finished asking, Tang Ping understood what she meant, and said: "We were together when we came, although there were many people in the car, but there were few people who could talk, and it was very boring, but that kid was quite an interesting person, not only did he have a lot of ideas, but he could also play a good game of chess, well, he just loved to play tricks on people......"

As she was talking, Tang Ping suddenly noticed that Yan Xuan seemed to have another meaning in her eyes, she immediately understood that she was immediately embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Hey, Sister Yan, don't think about it, that kid can't get into my eyes, I just think he's funny!" ”

"Oh," Yan Xuan chuckled and nodded, then tilted his head to look at Tang Ping, and said with a narrow smile, "Ah Ping...... You've had a marriage contract with someone! As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh first.

This can make Tang Ping extremely angry, and her face is full of shame, and she said to Yan Xuan: "Sister Yan...... You...... See that I don't tear your mouth. After saying that, he chased after him.

When the two girls were making trouble all the way from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, Yan Xuan suddenly saw something, hurriedly stopped Tang Ping, and said, "Ah Ping, look over there, what are they doing?" ”

Tang Ping stopped his hand and looked in the direction indicated by Yan Xuan, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen teenagers surrounding the other three teenagers in the distance, and the first tall teenager seemed to ask the three teenagers something, I don't know what the three teenagers said, I saw that the tall teenager suddenly slapped one of them in the face and knocked him to the ground, and immediately the rest of the people moved together and began to punch and kick the three teenagers.

"Ahh Yan Xuan exclaimed, "They're fighting!" ”

"Sister Yan, that's not a fight," Tang Ping looked at it and pursed her lips, "That's a fight, but the fight is a fight between the two sides." ”

"They...... Why are they like this? Yan Xuan was a little afraid to look at it, the three people who were beaten over there all fell to the ground, but the group of people who surrounded them kept beating the three people unrelentingly.

"What's so strange about this, it's not the stinky problem of those children of the family, one by one, they are flying and causing trouble, hum! It's just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, nothing to see, let's go. With that, Tang Ping pulled Yan Xuan and prepared to leave.

"This is Youming Valley, isn't there anyone to care about this?" Yan Xuan asked.

"Who cares, those senior brothers of the sect? They don't bother to pay attention to it, as long as they don't die, they don't pay attention to these things. ”

"But if you beat someone like that, I'm afraid that it will really break people."

"Sister Yan, what should I do, is it possible that our two daughters' family will go to fight with their gang of bastards? You can rest assured, they are also measured, they are all reckless and strong, they are all fighting for face, and one side is just soft. ”

"Alas! It's really scary! Yan Xuan said.

Tang Ping was about to tell Yan Xuan that it would be the most terrifying when he entered the sect in the future and walked in the cultivation world, if there was a grudge between the monks and they met outside, it would be endless, but if you think about it, forget it, so as not to frighten her.

The second daughter continued to go down the mountain, and left the fighting behind her with a turn along the mountain road, but after walking a few steps, Tang Ping grabbed Yan Xuan and said: "I said why there was a fight over there, it turned out that the main owner was here, and the people who started beating people were a group of brainless and brainless people hiding here to watch the excitement, ah! ”

Yan Xuan looked over and found that under a tree not far in front of him, a young man was standing there with his hands in his hands, and from the direction he was looking, he was looking at the group of people fighting over there.

Tang Ping took two steps forward and shouted at the young man, "Young Master Qin! What's the point of watching others fight, a man's family, if he wants to be happy, he should punch and kick it out by himself, hide here and watch the excitement from afar! ”

The young man suddenly heard someone talking, he was startled at first, and when he saw that it was Tang Ping, he smiled, turned around and walked from under the tree to Tang Ping, and when he came closer, he first bowed slightly before he spoke: "It's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Miss Tang here." He didn't seem to know Yan Xuan, he just smiled and nodded to Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan saw that this young man seemed to be a few years older than himself, tall and moderate, with a long and straight figure, and he looked clean and decent wearing the green robe of a disciple of the valley. Looking at her face, the young man was fair-skinned, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looked like a handsome young man, but it gave her the feeling that this person had deep eyes and deep scheming, and what made her uncomfortable was the arrogance exuded by that person.

"Coincidentally? It's not a coincidence, if it's really coincidental, then Qin Gongzi has been commanding Ruoding these days, so that a bunch of fools can definitely see it for themselves, and maybe they will applaud Qin Gongzi, it is estimated that the mountain just now is a small scene, right, Qin Gongzi? Tang Ping said.

Yan Xuan was not very surprised that Tang Ping knew the young man, but found that Tang Ping was not polite to the young man at all, and even she noticed that Tang Ping seemed to be wary and hostile to the young man.

The young man didn't care at all, and still smiled and said, "Miss Tang misunderstood, she also practiced all morning, and occasionally passed by here and accidentally saw someone fighting there. It's almost noon, it's time to knock on the cloud card, why don't we go to the Spring Ring Hall together? ”

"Don't, don't." Tang Ping refused, "Gongzi Qin, we sisters still want to be innocent in this valley, don't dare to have anything to do with you, don't say goodbye!" As he spoke, he pulled Yan Xuan and left.

"So...... Okay, the two girls walked slowly. The young man was not angry at all when he heard this, and gave them another salute to the second daughter.

It's just that when he straightened up after saluting, his gaze at Tang Ping's back had slowly turned cold.

"Ah Ping, you know that person, why are you so unkind to him?" After walking a little farther, Yan Xuan looked back and asked when he estimated that the man would not hear him.

Tang Ping didn't answer her directly, but sighed first and said: "If people are stupid and know that they are stupid, they can still be at ease." I'm afraid that he is stupid and unconscious, such a person feels that he is great and can't withstand the teasing of others, and when his mind is hot, he becomes someone else's minions, and those guys who beat people over there are basically fools who don't know it. ”

"Although those people are hateful, they are not the most hateful, and the most hateful ones are the people who pry these fools to fight for themselves, and this kind of people are used to calling fools, so they feel that everyone in the world is stupid."

After Tang Ping finished speaking, she looked at Yan Xuan, and saw that she didn't understand very well, and said, "That person's name is Qin Suiyi, the most hateful, born in a big family of cultivators, similar to our Tang family, and the two families are also quite related, this Qin Suixu is a big trouble for me, alas, it's annoying to think about it, I can't understand it for a while, I'll tell you slowly in the future, in short, it's a guy who loves to stir up trouble and always likes to stay out of things, even if you enter the inner door in the future, you must be careful to watch out of him." ”

Yan Xuan listened and nodded.

Just when the two daughters went to the Spring Xiangtang hand in hand, on a mountain beam in the Youming Valley, Qian Chao stood beside a boulder, staring at an object in front of him in a daze.

It was a pheasant feather, colorful and reflected in the sunlight.

Speaking of which, this feather was obtained from Lu Pingchuan, Lu Pingchuan put down a lot of sleeves and caught a lot of pheasants, naturally these pheasants were roasted by him and then put down their stomachs, and this feather was naturally plucked off before the barbecue.

However, this feather in front of Qian Chao is now hanging quietly in front of him, there is no thread on it, and there is no hand to hold it below, at noon, there is no mountain breeze blowing, and the feather is so quietly hanging in front of Qian Chao.
