348 Old man of the sea
This trip to Mocheng was a successful end, and the harvest even exceeded Bai Yunfei's original expectations.
He just wanted to accompany Tang Xinyun home to visit her mother, to relieve her of missing her mother, to make her forget the sadness of losing the original fire, and to make her feel better. But unexpectedly, many unexpected things happened, which made the usual trip home to visit relatives colorful.
First of all, on the way here, he met the big and small flying knives, and exchanged them for the flying knife details, so that his flying knife skills have been greatly improved, and then he met many people in Mocheng, such as Xuanyuan Jie, Zhong Liyan and others, also met Jing Mingfeng and Zhao Xiluo again, and by the way, met Kou Tingting, the daughter of his senior brother Kou Changkong, in advance; and unexpectedly met the fire Lingzhi at the auction, although there was a little accident, but in the end he snatched the Lingzhi back; Later, Tang Xinyun was arrested, so that he had to use the fire Lingzhi himself, condensed the No. 2 Tinder, and under a fierce battle, he killed the opponent of the Soul Venerable's strength, and the No. 1 Flame also woke up smoothly, and the strength was completely restored, and even improved to the middle stage of the Soul Sect; , and successfully re-condensed the original fire for Tang Xinyun and restored his strength.
With all of the above, it can be said that the harvest of this trip to Mocheng is extremely huge, and it can be said to be perfect, and all the problems that plagued Bai Yunfei have been solved. Of course, the accidental discovery of Chu Qingxue's actual body poisoning has yet to be resolved, but Chu Qingxue, who has been injured for more than ten years, will at least get better and better with the help of poison anti-earrings, and there will be no danger.
In short, it can be said that it is worth the trip.
On October 25th, after coming to Mocheng for nearly two months, Bai Yunfei and Tang Xinyun finally embarked on the journey back to the Refining Weapon Sect.
............
On the way back this time, nothing special happened, Bai Yunfei's strength was fully restored, and the speed of the sword flight was much faster than when he came, and he didn't make many unnecessary stops on the way, he flew all the way, and returned to the Refining Weapon Sect after twenty days.
Chixia Mountain, above the north peak.
In the small bamboo building where Zijin lives, the sunlight shines through the window into the simple and simple small hall, which looks quiet and elegant, with only a slight 'pop' sound occasionally coming out, like the sound of some small object falling on the ground.
"Haha! Kill the big dragon! Old man Zi, I didn't expect me to have this trick, right?" a rough voice sounded triumphantly, breaking the silence.
"Old man Hai, what are you so proud of, just eat a few of my sons and call it 'killing the big dragon'? A flat voice then sounded, striking the person who spoke before with some disdain, listening to this voice, it seemed to be Bai Yunfei's master, the old sect master of Zijin!
When I zoomed in, I found two people sitting cross-legged in the small hall, and a small boxy table in the middle, crisscrossed by lines, forming hundreds of small square grids, on which were placed many black and white chess piecesβit was obvious that the two were playing Go.
Both of them are gray-haired old men, one of them is naturally Zijin, and the one opposite him does not know his identity, wearing a simple or even somewhat shabby light blue robe, his hair is scattered and casually draped behind his head, and the vicissitudes of his face, of course, most of this vicissitudes come from his somewhat raunchy face, beard Zara, especially he still holds a wine gourd in his left hand, and takes a sip from time to time, like a drunkard.
However, the one who can sit with Zijin to drink and play chess, and call him 'Old Man Zi', naturally can't be an ordinary vicissitudes of life drunkard.
As Zijin unfathomably pinched up a white piece and put it on the chessboard, the 'old man of the sea' on the opposite side frowned and looked at it for a few seconds, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "This is ...... I didn't notice it before!!
"Hehe, Go needs to be calm, where can you play well when you are so noisy, old man Hai, you lose, give me that thousand-year-old ice spirit stone......" Zijin smiled and put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said indifferently, but there was an obvious smugness on the corner of his mouth, as if he was deliberately angry with the person opposite.
"You, you...... Hmph, but relying on learning more than me for a while, pretending to be profound, I almost won this game!" Old Man Hai waved his right hand a little angrily, and a fist-sized blue stone flew out of the space ring, and was then taken away by Zijin.
When he watched Zijin put away the ice spirit, Old Man Hai felt a pain in his heart, pointed at Zijin and said angrily: "You old man Zi, I only won your three earth-level horcruxes, but you have already won most of the heavenly and earthly treasures on my body, you ...... Did you design me on purpose?!"
Zijin smiled: "Alas, don't talk nonsense, I didn't force you to play chess with me, and the bets of both of us are voluntary...... How about it, old man Hai, do you want another game? This time I'll let you have three of you, just now you 'almost won'!"
"Come on! Why don't you come! The old man has found the trick, and he will definitely be able to win you in the next game!"
......
The two started a new game of chess, you came and went, talking and laughing, not at all two peerless masters, but more like an ordinary old man playing in the alley.
"By the way, Old Man Zi, what did you do when you were so anxious to find me, and exchanged so many fire-based elixirs with me with two Heavenly Rank Lower Horcruxes?
Zijin also fell slowly, and replied, "Oh, it's nothing, didn't I tell you that I have accepted a new disciple named Bai Yunfei? A few months ago, his Origin Flame had an accident and wanted to help him regain his strength...... But it's okay now, Changkong's daughter Tingting came back a few days ago and brought back news that Yunfei had encountered something in Mocheng, and now his strength has recovered. β
"Oh, I see...... But speaking of which, it really surprised me, I didn't expect that after twenty years, you actually accepted another disciple, I thought you would ...... since that kid in the East Ming" Old man Hai originally said it casually, but he immediately realized that he had accidentally said it, and found that Zijin's face was a little ugly, and immediately changed his words, "Hehe, I said it wrong, when I didn't say it, I meant it...... I'm a little interested in you, a new disciple, and I want to see what kind of person he is, who can make you care so much about Old Man Zi. β
"Hehe, Yun Fei is naturally not a thing in the pool, I believe that over time, his achievements may not be lower than you and me......" Speaking of Bai Yunfei, Zijin's expression was much better, and a trace of relief rose in his eyes.
"Oh, I didn't expect this Bai Yunfei to have such a high evaluation in your heart?" Old man Hai was a little surprised, you know, even Jiang Fan at the beginning, Zijin had never made such a remark.
"Yunfei is a special person, and there are many things that happen to him, even I can't tell......" Zijin dropped another chess piece, and was suddenly slightly stunned, then showed a hint of surprise, and said with a smile, "Hehe, what a coincidence, just talking about him, he has already returned." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yunfei's respectful voice sounded outside the door: "Master, the disciple is back, and I have come to see Master." β
Zijin showed a hint of love in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yunfei, come in." β
The door was gently pushed open, and Bai Yunfei walked in slowly, walked to Zijin's side, and saluted respectfully, "Yunfei greets Master." β
Zijin nodded with satisfaction: "Hehe, okay, it's good to come back, I heard Tingting say that you have encountered a lot of things in Mocheng, and you have done a good job, and you have not embarrassed your teacher." β
"Old man Zi, this is the new apprentice you are talking about? It seems that the strength is not very good, only the soul ......" Old Man Hai has observed a few times with great interest since Bai Yun Fei entered the door, and at this time he frowned and said two words, but he was suddenly stunned, "Huh? No, it actually hides his strength...... Mid-Soul Sect!!"
Bai Yunfei is now a little hot at the use of the "Hidden Soul Technique", hiding his strength to the middle stage of the soul, but he was quite surprised that this old man of the sea was able to see through it so easily.
Zijin also noticed Bai Yunfei's situation at this time, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded even more relieved: "Well, hehe, not bad...... It seems that the gain of your trip to Mocheng this time is not just to restore your strength......"
He glanced at the old man Hai and said to Bai Yunfei: "Yunfei, let me introduce you, this old guy's name is Hai Dongqing, he is a friend of the teacher, and he is a casual cultivator who is idle on weekdays. β
