"Niece Xian, why did you bring out the vegetable jar in the breakfast hall?" Chong Xuzi asked curiously.

“……”

"The old-timers have good food in the canteen here, and the pickled radishes are very delicious." Xie Lingjiang nodded, averted his gaze, and said, "I'll bring some back." ”

"Poor Dao thought that Xian's niece would be more interested in pills." Chong Xuzi shook his head, "But if you like to eat, then bring more, there is nothing else in Gesoap Mountain, but there is a lot of food, and those little dolls are spoiled by the senior brother." ”

Nanhua Guan Lao Dao muttered, thought about it, turned his head and said:

"There are some other specialties, wait for the poor road to let people pack up, and the virtuous niece will bring it back together, I received a letter from your father before, saying that you are now in Jiangzhou Longcheng with the same senior brother to experience, is it suffocated to stay in that small place? It's hard to come to Gesoap Mountain, so let's have a good time.

"Last time I saw you, was my niece eight or ten years old? Hiding next to your father's legs, quiet, and polite, teasing and angry...... is worthy of being a lady of the Xie family who was born in a scholarly family.

"After so many years in the blink of an eye, speaking of which, Poor Dao and Xie Daoyou haven't seen each other for a long time, they are all letters, but I didn't expect the virtuous niece to be so tall, she is really slim and fair.

"Hahaha, it's just that Poor Dao didn't expect it, this character, it's a little less old-fashioned and stuffy, more greedy, it's good, it's good, I've told Xie Daoyou a long time ago, how can my daughter be pressed in the sea of books every day, become a nerd, and do some things about my daughter's family appropriately, and be smart and naughty."

Nanhua Guan's old Taoist Lang smiled and stroked his palms.

Being shaken out by the elders about the troubles of his childhood, Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but blush slightly, turned his head and argued:

"I'm not greedy, I brought it to others, the old-timers misunderstood, so I don't eat this thing."

"Oh?"

Chong Xuzi raised his eyebrows, twisted his fingers and brushed the dust, looked up and down at the red clothes holding the vegetable jar next to him and his pretty face, he suddenly asked:

"Your favorite person likes to eat this pickled radish?"

Xie Lingjiang's face changed, and he quickly returned to normal, and his tone was as usual: "What did the old man say, can't it be brought to my father?" ”

"A young girl like you, it's good not to forget your father at home to the edge of the sky, come out to play and bring him delicious food? How can there be such a sensible girl in this world, yes, you have to be filial after marriage......"

Oki Xuzi nodded.

Seems to be very experienced.

"......" Xie Ling Jiang choked, and couldn't help but say: "What kind of crooked reasoning is this, old-timer." ”

"Could it be that the poor road is wrong?"

Chong Xuzi walked in front, his chin held high, behind his back, and continued with a smile:

"It turns out that the senior brother of the virtuous niece likes to eat pickled radishes so much, I will bring more when I go back later, and bring a jar back for the old man, well, praise him for his good fortune, and he can win the favor of the noble daughter of the Xie family."

Xie Lingjiang stiffened his face, "What are the old-timers talking nonsense, I don't understand." ”

Chong Xuzi turned a deaf ear, sighed to himself:

"In the past two days, the virtuous niece waited for Dan to stay on the mountain, and at night, there were often some bold young people in the view who came to inquire about the virtuous niece in the poor road, knocking on the side, so unhappy, fortunately the poor road did not give a good face, they were all forked out, the virtuous niece has long been in her heart, and there is no red line to lead, those dolls are really blind."

The old Taoist priest nodded, squinting at a red-faced woman in red with a red face:

"Although there are still a few good young and handsome people in the Guannei, the senior brother who can make the heart of the virtuous niece secretly agree should be the dragon and phoenix among the people."

Xie Lingjiang was thin-skinned, pretending to frown, holding the porcelain altar and waving his sleeves:

"Senior, can we talk about something serious, what are you talking about, the younger generation doesn't understand ......"

Smile at Oki Xuko:

"Don't understand? In the past few days, the virtuous niece has been looking at the sky and the water, and she is in a daze, which can't hide from the clear-eyed person, but don't tell the old man, you are thinking about the old father.

"Those dolls are still young, they don't understand the state of women, poor Dao is not a doll, I haven't eaten pork, I can see pigs running, this is not lovesickness, what is it?"

He shook his head, interrupted Xie Lingjiang, who wanted to stop talking, and asked directly with concern:

"In other words, when Poor Dao was refining in Yuqing Palace, those dolls should not have long eyes, so they should disturb Tang Tu to you, if there is, even if you say it, it is not good to clean up the portal when you see Poor Dao."

Chong Xuzi snorted lightly, as if he had long been dissatisfied with some impetuous young people jumping in the door.

"No, I didn't pay much attention, thank you for your concern." Xie Lingjiang shook his head and didn't care.

After a pause, she saw Chong Xuzi glancing at the porcelain altar containing pickled radishes, her face quickly turned serious, and she returned to the topic:

"Senior, how is the antidote to the winged bird that you asked you to help refine before?"

The smile on the corner of Chongxuzi's mouth retracted, he raised his hand and shook his sleeves, and a blue and white gossip pill bottle slipped into his hand and threw it out.

Xie Lingjiang caught the Dan bottle, lowered his head to open it, and reached out to catch it.

Two round blood-red pills lay quietly in the palm of her white and tender hands.

There is a faint smell of fish.

Xie Lingjiang sniffed, frowning curiously.

"Two blood pills, one pill at a time, take it with water, with an interval of three days, you will cooperate with luck every day to drive away the poison, and those who are poisoned will have a technique to return to heaven."

Chong Xuzi said lightly.

Xie Ling Jiang was suddenly overjoyed, stood in place, and bowed: "Thank you, senior." The tone is sincere.

Chong Xuzi shook his head:

"It's okay, just do it, I happened to practice a furnace of gold pills for Longhu Mountain recently, so I borrowed the top-grade purple gold pill furnace of Yuqing Palace to help you practice two detoxification pills."

After a pause, he said with great interest:

"This is more than the poison of the winged bird, the poor Dao has heard of it a little, if you prepare the antidote out of thin air, please ask the Taoist brother with the most powerful medical skills in the Guannei to come out, it is very difficult to do, unless you use the 'Nine Turns Dancheng' in the "Golden Liquid Divine Pill Sutra" to practice the detoxification golden pill, but this will consume a precious platinum talisman, it is too wasteful......"

The old Taoist priest of Nanhuaguan shook his head, why are Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing called the three sects of Fu Zheng, and why do they all belong to the Three Mountains Dripping Blood Character Sect?

It is because the three sects are in the same vein to a certain extent, and the sects of the three sects are peerless, and they all need to consume a special and precious talisman to use, whether it is the Yuqing Sect that is good at Huangqi Waidan, or the Shangqing Sect who is good at asking the gods to help the people, or the Taiqing Sect who is good at Lei Fa.

"So niece Xian, how did you get the blood of the person who took the antidote, and who was poisoned and looking for the medicine?"

Xie Lingjiang shook his head slightly, "It's a long story...... By the way, old-timer, when you were in retreat for alchemy just now, on the Yuqing Palace, the Dan fog was really thick, this is what you practiced, and there was such a momentum? ”

She digressed and asked casually.

Chong Xuzi's face gradually became serious, and he shook his head slightly, but did not speak immediately.

Xie Lingjiang's eyes became more and more curious, but he didn't mean to urge.

Chong Xuzi took Xie Lingjiang and walked forward for a while, bypassing several palaces, turning into a relatively secluded garden, before squinting and whispering:

"It's okay to talk to your niece, just don't spread the word. There are several heavenly masters surnamed Zhang in Longhu Mountain, who recently went out and had a chance encounter and strayed into an ancient tomb hidden under the deep tan, which is said to be the place where a certain high-grade qi practitioner in the Eastern Jin Dynasty sat and feathered.

"But if it's these, it's not unusual, the heritage of their Taiqing Sect is the deepest in our Three Mountains Dripping Blood Character Sect, they have their own superior inheritance, foreign alchemy or something, at most they can collect it for reference, Lingbao Pills are also old and scrapped, but they accidentally found a living thing......"

"What living thing?" Xie Lingjiang leaned forward and asked curiously: "Is there still a living thing in the ancient tomb?" ”

"Six-winged summer cicada."

Chong Xuzi gently spit out the four words, and Xie Lingjiang's face froze.

Chong Xuzi glanced at the expression of this virtuous niece, but he was not surprised, he asked in a low voice:

"Niece Xian has heard of it too? The five strange insects? ”

Xie Lingjiang looked left and right at the uninhabited garden, and bowed his head slightly, but what Chong Xuzi didn't see was that the plain hand under her sleeve silently clenched her fist.

The old Taoist priest was still chatting to himself, as if he was reciting an ancient book:

"Six-winged summer cicada, one of the five strange insects of ancient times, after hatching, the young cicadas burrow into the ground, lurking for three hundred and sixty years, in the middle of summer, digging out of the soil, feathering eggs...... It is rumored that in ancient times, Qi people ate it by mistake, and the whole body was like a cicada, reborn, congenital air leakage, and the sewing was complete, and Qi people practiced qi in the valley, cultivated for a thousand miles a day, and traveled against the wind, and traveled to the North Sea......"

Chong Xuzi turned his head and said to Xie Lingjiang, who was contemplating his eyebrows:

"The classical description may be exaggerated, but these five ancient strange insects, each with its own miraculous effect, is recognized, among which the six-winged summer cicada, the legend can make the leaky mortal like the summer cicada, and be reborn as a top cultivation seed, so the luck of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain, tsk.

"But Poor Dao is a little suspicious, it's not a six-winged summer cicada that strayed into the ancient tomb and accidentally caught the eggs unearthed in three hundred and sixty years, just the words of those old guys.

"It may be that some predecessors of Longhu Mountain have marked this place for a long time, and the descendants of the Heavenly Master's Mansion are just looking for a picture, but they can't envy it, this is called the foundation of the sect.

"Unlike our Yuqing Sect, we know what messy magnates we have made friends with, stained with copper smell, and after a hundred years, these magnates have long been buried in the ground, and there are still a few left, and not everyone is a family with five surnames and seven hopes, and not everyone can be like the Louguan Taoist sect in the north, helping the dragon and benefiting the ...... for a while."

Chong Xuzi muttered a few times, as if he had some complaints about some routes of Yuqingzong in recent years.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly turned his head and interrupted:

"Old-timer, this kind of divine object that can change the life of a leaky mortal against the sky, how can the Heavenly Master Mansion of Dragon and Tiger Mountain rest assured that it can be used for alchemy?"

Chong Xuzi turned his head and said:

"The adults of the six-winged summer cicada can only live for one midsummer, and if they want to retain the miraculous effect of metamorphosis for a long time, it is naturally wonderful to refine them into pills, and eat them raw in vain, so naturally there is no such thing as pills entering the body......

"And it just so happens that there is an old heavenly master in Longhu Mountain who has a good personal relationship with the poor Dao, so he asked the poor Dao to use the sect's peerless Nine Turns Dancheng, and they provided the platinum talisman to be consumed, and the probability of becoming a Dan was guaranteed, and finally it became a furnace and got three pills."

"A six-winged summer cicada, turned into three golden pills? What about the miracle effect? ”

Xie Lingjiang frowned and asked.

Chong Xuzi shook three fingers with red nails, and after years of contact with dansha, he smiled:

"Naturally, it is also divided into three, but it is enough to make mortals who can't practice qi transform into cultivation seeds suitable for qi training, although it may not be considered top-notch, but according to the poor path, it is also a steady practice, suitable for the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

"This is the inheritance of the surname Zhang, the reputation of the ancestors is loud enough, don't seek a peerless genius to go further, but at least be able to practice qi normally, inherit the mantle of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and keep the family business."

Chong Xuzi's praise is not smiling, and I don't know whether it is sincere admiration or joking and ridicule.

Xie Lingjiang listened silently, holding the pickled radish porcelain altar brought to the senior brother, and lowered his eyes and said to himself: "Three grains of metamorphosis golden pill, just one grain is fine......

The woman's eyes unconsciously fell on the sleeve of the Taoist robe that Chong Xuzi had just shaken off the blue and white gossip pill bottle.

Chong Xuzi was stunned, shook his head with a smile:

"Niece Xian, what are you muttering, just now, the old heavenly master with a very high rank is waiting in the Dan room next to him, and the golden pill has just rolled out of the oven, so he sealed the wax into the box and handed it over immediately...... People have already flown away in the air now, how can they be on the poor road? ”

"Why is the virtuous niece so interested? Judging by your complexion, you have already entered the seventh grade, unless you are ready to dissipate your qi by yourself, take Jindan, and re-cultivate your aura. ”

Chong Xuzi muttered, and shook his head in denial:

"But in this way, if you only eat one golden pill, it will be of little use to your existing talent, unless you can take three pills in a row, you can try to practice qi again......"

Xie Lingjiang looked up at Chong Xuzi, shook his head with a light smile, and said nothing.

Chong Xuzi looked at her for a while, and suddenly said, "Niece Xian seems to be really interested." ”

Xie Lingjiang sighed softly and did not deny it.

Chong Xuzi shook his head: "Don't talk about three golden pills, just ask for one, the Taiqing Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain will not give it, it's useless for your father to go, this kind of life-sustaining thing for the sect, even if it is the face of the Xie clan of Chenjun." ”

Xie Lingjiang's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly:

"If so...... What if it's the face of the royal family? As the head of the Sanqing Taoist sect, hasn't the Taiqing Sect of Longhu Mountain always envied the deeds of the Nanshan Louguan Taoist Sect at the end of the year, assisting the Gaozu of the Li clan and Taizong......

Chong Xuzi's face was stunned.

As if he vaguely remembered something, the old Taoist priest was silent, and frequently looked at Xie Lingjiang, who was calm and silent.

After a while, the two chatted about some other topics, and when they reached the end of the garden, Xie Lingjiang glanced at the sky:

"Thank you seniors for your help, urgent matters, the juniors will go back first, and thank you next time."

"Niece Xian is polite, pay attention to safety on the road, and say hello to Xie Daoyou for Poor Dao."

Xie Ling Jiang turned around.

Chong Xuzi waved his hand again, and said casually: "By the way, go to the breakfast hall and bring more pickled radishes to your senior brother in Longcheng County." ”

Xie Lingjiang's back stiffened, and he looked back and said with a look of shame: "You... How do you know it's him? ”

"Huh, really? Guess, I've been talking to you, my niece is upset, and I'll make a move. Chong Xuzi blinked, shook his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Poor Dao guess again, this senior brother in Longcheng County should not be able to practice qi, it is a leaky mortal body, so the virtuous niece pays special attention to the metamorphosis golden pill." ”

"......" Xie Lingjiang.

Looking at the hurried back of a certain red-clothed man holding the porcelain altar and running away, the old Taoist priest of Nanhuaguan laughed.

After a while, when the figure walked away, the old Taoist priest, who hadn't smiled so happily for a long time, said to himself:

"Hey, Xie Daoyou doesn't know about it, his daughter has been abducted, or did he do it in his own apprenticeship, why don't you send a letter to laugh at him? Hahaha, it's interesting. ”
