A few days later, after lunch, Qian Chao summoned Tang Ping outside the Chunxiang Hall.

"Hey! Tang Xiaomei. ”

"Huh? Money boy, you look good lately? ”

"Don't laugh, oh, look there." Qian Chao turned his head to look at the mountain in the distance.

"See what?" Tang Ping followed Qian Chao's gaze, but there was nothing worth seeing.

"See that boulder?" Qian Chao was very careful, there were other disciples nearby, and Qian Chao didn't point his finger there.

"Where?" Tang Ping searched carefully, and it seemed that there was a small piece of mountain rock protrusion among the mountain trees, "Is it the one halfway up the mountain?" ”

"If you have time in the afternoon, go once."

"What for?"

"Brother Lu and I have been practicing there recently, and you will know that it is beneficial if you go!" After telling Tang Ping how to go, Qian Chao left.

"This person is so mysterious that he can't speak clearly." Tang Ping stared at Qian Chao's back and complained.

Tang Ping and Yan Xuan according to Qian Chao's words, turned around and looked for the mountain path, and finally came to the mountain beam that Qian Chao said, Tang Ping didn't care on the way, Yan Xuan muttered more and more, looked back frequently, and saw that the houses in Youming Valley were hidden behind the forest leaves, and when she finally couldn't help but stop and ask Tang Ping, she heard Tang Ping say: "It's here." ”

It's not very wide here, but it's rare that the terrain is very flat, four or five stout and tall mountain trees are around this clearing, and at the end of the clearing is the boulder that Qian Chao is referring to, at this time Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan are sitting together with their backs to the boulder, Qian Chao is reading a book in his hand, and Lu Pingchuan doesn't know what to do with his head down.

"Hey! You two. Tang Ping couldn't help but shout angrily when he saw the two of them sitting there steadily, "It's so hard to find here, you really have to hold your breath, so you're not afraid that we will be bitten by wolves halfway through!" ”

Qian Chao put the book in his hand on his lap and replied, "You also live in this Youming Valley every day, when have you heard a wolf howling here?" Don't say that there are no wolves here, even if there are wolves, then Brother Lu is going to die happily! ”

Lu Pingchuan raised his head and said with a smile when he heard it: "There are really no wolves, I have all walked around the nearby woods, except for rabbits and pheasants, I can't even see a roe deer." ”

Tang Ping strode over and asked, "Okay, we've all arrived too, let's say, what are you going to do when you mysteriously asked us here?" Without waiting for Qian Chao to answer, he asked Lu Pingchuan again, "Brother Lu, what are you doing with this straw rope?" ”

Lu Pingchuan shook the straw rope in his hand to Tang Ping and said, "This is for the pheasant." ”

As soon as he heard that it was used for a pheasant, Tang Ping suddenly came to his senses, squatted in front of Lu Pingchuan and looked at the thin grass rope in his hand and asked in a loud voice: "Pheasant?" Is this the only way to use this? Have you ever been there? How many have you had, did you eat them grilled or boiled? As soon as he finished asking, he suddenly noticed that Qian Chao was still sitting next to him and looked at him with a smile, and then he remembered that this Qian boy hadn't answered himself, so he said angrily: "What are you laughing at!" You haven't said why you asked us here? ”

Qian Chao put the book on his lap into his arms and replied: "I have tasted Brother Lu's craftsmanship, the pheasants in the mountains and forests here are very fat, and the taste is even better when roasted by Brother Lu's hands. ”

As soon as I heard that there was something delicious, and it was a barbecue pheasant in this mountain forest, not to mention Tang Ping, even Yan Xuan also thought it was fun. The anxious Tang Ping couldn't wait to pull Lu Pingchuan to see if he had any pheasants.

After making a fuss for a while, Lu Pingchuan said that he would have to weave more straw ropes in his hand and arrange more sets when he went to look for pheasants. Yan Xuan was skillful, and after watching Lu Pingchuan how to weave the straw rope for a while, he learned how to weave the straw rope, so he also learned Lu Pingchuan's appearance and helped him weave it.

Seeing that Qian Chao was still sitting there steadily, Tang Ping couldn't help muttering in her heart, and leaned closer and asked, "You asked us to come, saying that there was something important, wouldn't it be Brother Lu roasting pheasants and inviting us to eat, is there anything else?" ”

Qian Chao smiled and said, "Tang Xiaomei, of course I have other things, well, if I say that I can do tricks, do you believe it or not?" ”

Tang Ping didn't understand what she heard, and asked, "What kind of trick, do you still know how to trick?" ”

Qian Chao stood up and said, "Don't worry, wait for me to show you a trick." ”

Qian Chao said that he wanted to play tricks, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were full of curiosity, firstly, they didn't believe that Qian Chao could do tricks, and secondly, they couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Qian Chao's gourd.

However, Lu Pingchuan didn't care when he heard it, and said while busy with his hands: "This, Brother Qian also changed it for me a few days ago, it's fun." ”

Hearing him say this, the second daughter was even more curious, seeing Qian Chao pacing two steps, pulling out a colorful feather from his sleeve, it seems that eighty percent was plucked from the pheasant that Lu Pingchuan had held in the past few days, and saw Qian Chao wave the feather in his hand to the second daughter, and then let go of his hand, the feather slowly fell to the ground, Qian Chao saw the opportunity to bend over and stretch out his arm to put the feather that was almost to the ground in his hand.

What kind of trick is this, no one in the second daughter understands.

Qian Chao took the feather and paced two more steps, looked around, and then lifted the feather again, then he twisted his face to Tang Ping and smiled at her, and then let go of the two fingers holding the feather.

This time, the feather didn't even hit the ground, it actually floated there.

Tang Ping and Yan Xuan couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw it, and they looked incredible, Lu Pingchuan smiled when they saw it and said, "It's fun, right?" ”

Qian Chao's arm that was holding the feather before had been put down, he looked up at the feather, and raised his hand to gently flick it with his fingers, and the feather slowly began to rotate, but it was still hanging there steadily.

Seeing that Tang Ping wanted to come over and take a look, Qian Chao stretched out his hand to stop her, but took out a feather from his sleeve and hung the feather there like a concoction.

In this way, under the gaze of Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, Qian Chao paced forward while taking out a feather from his sleeve and hanging there, as if there was an invisible hand holding the feather under each feather. As Qian Chao paced forward, more than a dozen feathers hung firmly behind him, like a line, and finally Qian Chao's hand in his sleeve came out empty, he clapped his hands to the second daughter, indicating that there were no feathers left.

Tang Ping and Yan Xuan couldn't help but walk curiously towards those suspended feathers.

Yan Xuan first looked at the feather carefully, and then reached out and slowly drew up and down the feather, left and right, and finally determined that the feather was indeed not led by a thin thread, and couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Tang Ping paid more attention to the direction of this "feather line", she compared it back and forth, looked at the direction of the line listed by the feathers to both sides, and finally picked off a feather and looked at it, and then she also followed the example of Qian Chao and hung the feather there, which made Yan Xuan even more surprised, so she also tried it herself like Tang Ping.

"Let's say," Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao, his eyes were full of strangeness and suspicion, "I also said that you are not from a family of cultivators, I can't find such a place if I am from a family, but you are from this world and can find it so easily, I don't believe it!" ”

Yan Xuan picked off a feather and lifted it up like Tang Ping, and when her fingers were released, it was hanging there, which was really surprising, she knew that she didn't know how to do any tricks, and she heard Tang Ping ask Qian Chao if she still involved Qian Chao's origin, and couldn't help but look at the two of them suspiciously.

Qian Chao sighed when he heard this, and said: "My origin is indeed not lying to you, I was born in the world through the first selection, not from any family, but there is an elder in my family who practiced in the Five Spirits Sect before, well, the cultivation is not high, and the cultivation of qi is cultivated." Later, because he was injured, he returned home with no hope of cultivation. Before I came here this time, my elder gave me this book, oh, it's two, one of which records all kinds of things in his sect, including this spiritual vein, this matter is a bit long, why don't we go over there and sit down and say? ”

came to the boulder again, and after a few people sat down, Qian Chao first took out the book from his arms and handed it to Tang Ping and said, "It's this book, and I didn't bring the other one with me." However, that book was written about my elder's own experience and methods of cultivation, and he once said that everyone's cultivation is different from other people's, and unless it is very difficult for me to practice on my own, I don't need to read it. At the beginning of my family, your sixth grandfather's comment on my qualifications was acceptable, you probably know what kind of qualifications Shang Ke has, right? ”

"Hmm," Tang Ping nodded, "It's the worst kind." ”

"Yes, it's indeed the worst kind, your sixth grandfather probably gave me this opportunity to bring me here for the sake of my elder, who is also considered to be a five-spirit lineage. To tell the truth, I didn't think that my spiritual root qualifications were poor at first, I only felt that diligence could make up for my shortcomings, but how did I know that it was so difficult to really cultivate, and I didn't make any progress in my cultivation for a month, which made me depressed.

When I was troubled, I thought about taking a look at the book that I couldn't read unless I had to, but every time I wanted to open it, I was very unwilling, so I opened this book and read it, and learned a lot about the things in the sect from this book, and the spiritual veins were also obtained from this book, according to what my predecessor said, this five spiritual sect is a large spiritual vein gathering place, so the ancestors in the sect opened a sect here, and he also said that there are several small spiritual veins gathering places around the five spiritual sects, including ......" As he spoke, Qian Chao pointed with his hand in the direction of the extension of the "feather line".

"Little Lotus Lake," Tang Ping said.

"That's right, Little Lotus Lake," Qian Chao continued, "After learning that Little Lotus Lake is also a place where spiritual veins gather, I once secretly went to the Little Lotus Lake alone, and I circled around the lake and didn't find the spiritual veins. ”

"How did you find it? Do you use this feather too? Tang Ping asked.

"At first, I used the stupidest method," Qian Chao replied, "I went to the Little Lotus Lake to find different places to meditate and practice, I went to the lake dozens of times, and I sat all over the lake, every time it was the same as my daily practice, without any progress, I realized that my predecessor said in the book, the spiritual veins can be divided into three types: in the air, on the ground, and underground, and that the spiritual veins gathered by the Little Lotus Lake may all be empty spiritual veins, and of course they may also be underground spiritual veins. ”

"And then, how did you find out about this place?" Tang Ping asked.

"I have observed the mountain veins around the Little Lotus Lake, which are divided into five veins, and it is one of them that we are now in under our feet, and then I found that along this vein to the Youming Valley actually leads directly to our enlightened Tingtao Pavilion, I think in this Youming Valley, the Tingtao Pavilion is the most important place, and it should not be built casually, not to mention that the Tingtao Pavilion is built in the middle of the mountainside, so I boldly assume that the Tingtao Pavilion is built on the spiritual vein, and the spiritual vein that passes through the Tingtao Pavilion must be an empty spiritual vein, Connecting the Little Lotus Lake and Tingtao Pavilion, since it is not at the foot of the mountain, you need to go to the top of the mountain or halfway up the mountain to find it. Because of my fake snake, I searched for more than 20 days to finally find this place, and it took a lot of trouble! Qian Chao sighed after speaking.

"Then," Tang Ping asked, pointing to the feathers still floating there, "This method is also written in the book?" ”

"Yes, my predecessor wrote two methods in the book, one is to use a kind of fish eye called Yingguang fish, where do I find that thing, so I use this second method."

"You really have a heart!" Tang Ping also sighed, she now has an extra layer of understanding of Qian Chao, but she is also a person who does not admit defeat, she usually can't see it, at a glance, she is a pampered son of a rich and noble family in the world, but she didn't expect her heart to be so tenacious, but it is very rare.

"There's no way, I don't want to go to the outer gate, I have a rare opportunity to come here this time, if you want to enter, you have to enter the inner door, and only by entering the inner door can you really practice."

"Actually," Tang Ping looked at those feathers and said, "There are not only these two ways to find spiritual veins, there are many, but fortunately, your predecessor recorded this method, this method of using feathers is the only one who has not cultivated and can use, and the rest can only be used with cultivation in depth or shallow, even if it is the Ying Guang Fish Eye." ”

"Ah Ping," Yan Xuan asked hesitantly, "Is there the spirit vein you mentioned here?" ”

"Yes," Tang Ping said, "This spiritual vein can't be seen, touched, and smelled nothing, but," said Tang Ping as she pulled Yan Xuan close to her, and the two of them were under those suspended feathers, "Sister Yan, you sit here, and run a Sunday according to the mental method of the Jade Sea Sutra." After speaking, he pressed Yan Xuan on the soft grass and sat down himself.

When Yan Xuan heard this, he followed the mental method of the "Jade Sea Sutra", first meditated and entered the realm of hugging Yuan Shouyi, and then carefully guarded a little clear and rhythmic breathing on the spiritual platform, and a little Yuan Li traveled from the dantian to the surrounding qi veins.

However, unlike the feeling of drinking liquor and bathing in the spring breeze when practicing in the past, today the feeling in this spiritual vein is like a strong wine entering the throat, and the hot line around the body is wandering, and it feels like a dry wind blowing on the face, and the heat is steaming. This extraordinary feeling frightened Yan Xuan at first, and he almost lost his breath, and faintly heard Tang Ping say on the side, "Sister Yan, don't be afraid, this spiritual vein is full of spiritual energy, and it is normal for you to start feeling unwell, just exercise your skills." Only then did he put his mind at ease and boldly continued to practice according to the mental method of the "Jade Sea Sutra".

At this time, Qian Chao stepped forward and sat next to Tang Ping, signaling Tang Ping to take care of her by herself, and Tang Ping understood that she also began to practice here.

A stick of incense was completed in two weeks, Yan Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and saw that Tang Ping opposite him was sitting cross-legged, and he had just finished opening his eyes to look at her.

"How?" Tang Ping looked at Yan Xuan and asked, her face was slightly flushed, and the small white arms exposed at the sleeves and the slender hands were slightly red.

"It's much better than practicing somewhere else," Yan Xuan said, "It scared me at first, but luckily you reminded me." In fact, Yan Xuan also looked like Tang Ping, his face was flushed, as if he was drinking alcohol.

"This cultivation in the spiritual vein is naturally different from in other places, in other places it is like an old ox pulling a cart, here it is the wind and the sail is in a hurry, how can it be the same, otherwise the spiritual vein will not be a spiritual vein." Tang Ping said.

"Oh," Lu Pingchuan interjected when he heard the second daughter speak, "This is the spiritual vein, is it good to practice here?" ”

"Of course, Brother Lu, there are many benefits to practicing here." Tang Ping said, "At least it can make us twice as effective in our cultivation." ”

"Oh," Lu Pingchuan seemed to understand a little, "No wonder Brother Qian always forces me to work hard here." ”

Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao when he heard this, and Qian Chao just smiled slightly.

"Okay, almost, let's go look at the condom and see how many have been caught today." Lu Pingchuan seemed to have almost braided the thin straw rope in his hand, stood up and said to a few people.

"Wow!" Tang Ping said excitedly.

When I went to catch pheasants, the four little ones who were still children were really lively for a while, Tang Ping released Xiaobai as usual, and Qian Chao liked it very much when he saw Xiaobai. However, Lu Pingchuan, who saw Xiaobai for the first time, took a few more glances at the fur on Xiaobai's body, and was so frightened that Xiaobai hid behind Tang Ping. Tang Ping couldn't help but say angrily to Lu Pingchuan: "Brother Lu, this is the little fox I raised, don't you beat her idea." Lu Pingchuan gave up.

Under the leadership of Lu Pingchuan, several people looked for the trap he had laid before in the mountains and forests, and sure enough, a lot of pheasants were caught and hung there, struggling in vain, and a few hares were also caught. The four of them giggled and picked up, Lu Pingchuan had already made a basket with thin and soft branches, tied the wings and legs of the pheasant and hare with straw rope and threw them into the basket and carried them on their backs. A few people followed Lu Pingchuan to rearrange some traps before giving up.
