When I entered the canyon, I saw a flat valley in front of me, and a clear stream meandered down, rushing out of the gentle river states on both sides. Hezhou spreads to both banks, the shore is full of green trees, flowers are in the garden, and the traffic is like the calm scenery of the world.

There were miscellaneous disciples standing on both sides, and when they saw the dress of Meng Shuai and the others, someone stepped forward and said with a smile: "Senior brother, tell me where you live, and I'll show you the way." ”

Meng Shuai said to Teng Chongli: "Let's separate first." ”

Teng Chongli said with a complicated expression: "When the time comes, Brother Meng, don't forget your brother." ”

Following the miscellaneous disciple inside, he passed through the valley of Hezhou, continued to circle several valleys, and entered the valley deeper and deeper. The further you go inside, the warmer and wetter the climate becomes, and the scenery gets better and better. The trees that grew underground have gradually changed from ordinary flowers and plants to spiritual herbs and elixirs, and even a few of them have already taken the course that Shui Sigui taught at the beginning.

After walking for a while, I saw several peaks surrounding a valley, and there were already several buildings in the valley. Each building is a small estate, fenced off an area of several slopes. Behind the house are animal pens.

The miscellaneous disciple looked at the valley and said, "This is the residence of the senior brothers of the inner gate. Senior brother, please come in. Senior brother can only send you here. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and smiled: "Okay." Where's the Koji?"

The miscellaneous disciple shook his head and said, "I've never entered this valley, so I don't know how it's ranked. Senior brother, let's look for it after we go in, there are not many places inside.

Meng Shuai nodded, the miscellaneous disciple took his leave, and he entered the valley alone.

In the valley, there is a faint smell of grass. During Meng Shuai's stroll, the breeze blew on his face, and he only felt relaxed and happy.

It's just that this valley is too quiet, and it seems to be isolated from the world, and there are buildings every now and then, but there is no one in sight.

As he walked, there was a cow mooing sound in the distance, Meng Shuai stopped, and saw a big green cow walking unhurriedly on the path. On the back of the ox sat a boy dressed in a short-hearted shirt, with a straw hat on his head and a wreath of flowers around his neck.

Meng Shuai looked at it, and only felt that the boy and the green cow were really in harmony with the quiet paradise in the valley, and it was like a picture scroll, which made people feel tranquil. After being stunned for a while, he remembered that he was going to ask for directions, and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, please." ”

Anyway, the first to start is the longest, he only started today, and when he meets a doll that eats grandma in the inner door, he should also call him a senior brother.

When the boy heard this, he lifted his straw hat, looked surprised, and said, "What?"

Meng Shuai saw that the boy had a round face, his face was ruddy like an apple, and he looked to be ten years old at most, but somehow, he always felt that he was a little strange, and said, "Senior brother, dare to ask how to get to Jiaxu Tower?"

The boy sighed and said, "You live in Jiaxu Tower, it's quite far away." New here? I haven't seen you. ”

Meng Shuai nodded and smiled: "Yes, get started today." Please give me the way. ”

The boy said, "Jiaxu Tower is quite far away." You may not be able to find the way, so I'll take you. With that, he patted the cow on the back, and the big green cow slowly turned around and walked forward.

The green ox was tall and long-legged, with a shiny coat, more beautiful than a horse, and he didn't know that he was staggering when he walked, and his slowness was finger-inspiring. Meng Shuai couldn't even take a step away from his legs, and he was extremely aggrieved. It's just that his cultivation is not bad, and the scenery along the way is beautiful, so it's good to take a walk.

As he walked, Meng Shuai asked, "Senior brother, my name is Meng Shuai, dare to ask Senior Brother your surname?"

The boy said, "My surname is Shangguan." ”

Meng Shuai didn't expect to ask his surname, he really only reported one surname, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Shangguan, I see that it is so quiet here, is there no one?"

The boy said, "There are people, and there are people living in every house." ”

Meng Shuai said: "Then why don't you see anyone come out?"

The boy said, "Why should anyone come out?"

Meng Shuai was stunned and said, "Come out...... Turn around. ”

The boy said, "What can be turned?"

Meng Shuai was more embarrassed, and was squeezed into nonsense, and said: "Yoyo, yoyo spirit beast, how boring it is in the house anyway." ”

The boy laughed and said, "You can figure it out if you are a spirit beast in the valley." The spirit beast is a good helper for flying away from the sky and the earth, fighting and adventurous, if you want to slip away, go to the mountains to slip, that is the spirit beast. What's sneaking out of the valley?

Meng Shuai said suddenly: "They all went outside to sneak around the spirit beasts?" With so many people, no one wants to stay at home?"

The boy said, "Naturally, there are still people sleeping in the house." ”

Meng Shuai was stunned and said, "Sleep, now?"

The boy said, "Leisurely, everyone who sleeps now is so tired." ”

Meng Shuai was puzzled, and the boy said, "You're not a beast tamer yet, are you?"

Meng Shuai shook his head, and the boy said, "Then it's no wonder." You don't understand the hard work of a beast tamer. Let me tell you, most of the inner disciples are one step away from the innate nature, and the most important level is to sense the innate true qi. Therefore, the most important time of the day is the period from midnight to early morning, because this is the time when the sensing is the most sensitive. ”

Meng Shuai nodded, he also knew the golden time of cultivation, but he had not yet reached the peak of the volcanic stage, and it was not yet the time for induction to be the master, so he had not cultivated like this.

The boy said: "Therefore, only this time belongs to himself, and the rest of the time belongs to the spirit beast." ”

Meng Shuai was surprised: "Is there such an exaggeration?"

The boy said: "Of course, to become a good beast tamer, you need to spend a lot of time training spirit beasts, and you also need to cultivate feelings. Therefore, it is best to eat and sleep with spirit animals. And the spirit beast has to be active outside for most of the day, and the usual muscle and bone training can be trained by the way when the spirit beast is released. Even if you have some free time, you still have to do some work in exchange for money to buy rations and medicinal herbs for the spirit beast, how can you rest?"

Meng Shuai swallowed and spat, "Those who sleep now are ......"

The boy said: "Spirit beasts, the work and rest time are different, there are day walkers, and there are night walkers. Only people follow the spirit animal, and there is no spirit animal with the person. Therefore, if you raise a nocturnal spirit animal, only black and white are reversed. A fellow told me that he hadn't seen the sun in a year since he had a white-tailed lynx. ”

Meng Shuai was speechless: "That's too miserable." I don't want to raise a spirit animal like this. ”

The boy said slowly: "Don't worry, if you want to raise you, you may not be able to raise it." Nocturnal spirit beasts are much more precious than ordinary spirit beasts, and they can't be seen outside at all, so they have to catch them by themselves. If you don't want to catch it at night, of course you won't be able to raise it. ”

Meng Shuai's face turned red and said, "Thank you Senior Brother for your advice." May I ask Senior Brother, what is the source of ordinary spirit beasts?"

The boy said: "The best spirit beasts are all caught by yourself, how to catch them, there is an explanation in the sect's taming of beasts." However, the new disciples have never raised spirit beasts, so it is unlikely that they will be caught. So it's usually to buy it, or if you have a master or a close classmate, you can go and ask for it. ”

Meng Shuai said in his heart that the most talkative thing he could say was the shepherd deer, but before he could get so close to the spirit beast, he asked, "If you buy it, where can you buy it?"

The boy said: "The sect naturally sells them, just outside the Baoying Hall, and the ones sold are all young beasts, although they are not cherished, but they are reliable." There are also those that are sold privately, the elders will also sell, and the same door will also sell, if you want to know these news, usually communicate with the same door. If you go outside, you can also get introductions to sell spirit beasts, but whether those spirit beasts have problems or not, whether they can be tamed, is not necessarily. There is also a market, just outside the mountain gate, called Baimingji, which is open every 369th. The main trade in that place is for scraps and bits of materials, and there are also spirit beasts, but the level is lower. Generally, there are very few inner disciples who are willing to choose. ”

Meng Shuai nodded, and the boy said again: "You are new, I want to persuade you." Although it is said that the spirit beast can tame the liver as long as it is injured, but if the beast is not tamed, it is better not to touch it. Honestly start with young beasts or even eggs, although it takes a little longer, but it is much more reliable. ”

Meng Shuai nodded in agreement, feeling in his heart that this senior brother was really good, he knew everything, he didn't say everything, and he also took the initiative to point out his tricks, it seems that Baiming Mountain is not a rumor. It's just that his tone is a little old-fashioned, not to mention that he doesn't look like a boy, he is even older than the shepherd deer.

As he spoke, the boy pointed forward and said, "The place has arrived." ”

I saw a small building the size of three rooms built on a hillside, with black tiles and white walls, and a large bamboo fence in front of the building, and a small courtyard with two plantains and a grapevine planted in the yard. A bluestone pavement goes up the slope to the front of the building.

To say that this place is not bad, but in the far corner of the valley, it is also built on the slope, a bit like the valley can not live, squeezed into the mountain, there are no neighbors around, and the nearest small building is half a mile away.

The boy said, "Go up." You're lucky, it's the largest courtyard in the valley, and the whole hillside is yours. ”

Meng Shuai also felt satisfied, the environment here is very good. It's nothing to be secluded, he originally liked to be clean, and he also made up his mind to cultivate when he came to Baiming Mountain, and it was unexpected to be able to live alone in such a big house in the corner.

He smiled and said, "It's really a good place, Senior Brother Shangguan, go up and have a cup of tea, right?"

The boy shook his head with a smile and said, "You have a cold pot and a cold stove here, and the dust has not been cleaned, what kind of tea can I drink when I go up?" I'm leaving, and I'm going to slip away from my big green. He patted the horns as he spoke.

Meng Shuai said with a smile: "That senior brother will often come and go in the future." He approached the bull's head and patted the horn with his hand, but when the hand retracted, it suddenly froze, stretched out in the air, and could barely be retracted.

The boy's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "If I have the chance, I will come." As he spoke, he rode the ox and walked away step by step.

Meng Shuai looked at his back, and a layer of white sweat appeared on his body - when he stroked the green cow just now, he saw clearly that the collar on the green cow's neck had nine dark lines.
