() In front of the Taiqing Sect of Tiandao Mountain, Lu Hailong, Miao Haoshang, Jiang Huangu, Helian Xin, and the sect leader Li Yuanxiao were saying goodbye to Prison Niu and Huangfu Yu. A few days ago, Shi Chongyin had returned to Taiqing Sect, and more than a month had passed since he set off to go to Tuji Cave. During this period, the prisoner Niu was entrusted by Lu Hailong to stay in the Taiqing Sect to prevent the "Bone Spirit White Demon" Song Xinrong from coming to take revenge. But Song Xinrong never showed up, and it was impossible for the prison cow to stay here for a long time, so Lu Hailong had to temporarily dispel the idea of getting rid of Song Xinrong with the help of the prison cow. Now the prisoner Niu is about to return to Youlong County, as for Huangfu Yu, he plans to go out to secretly search for Song Xinrong's whereabouts, leaving Helian Xin in the sect, just in case.

"Brother Lu, Sect Master Li, I have been treated with hospitality these days, and I have been bothering the cow for a long time, so I thank you here. The prisoner cow was beaming and seemed to be in a good mood. It's no wonder that Shi Chongyin, who came back from Tuji Cave, brought good news that his two younger brothers had obtained three Earth Spirit Beads. In this way, Jairus, Pu Lao, and the negative three brought back four fire spirit beads from the Huoyun Cave, and the prisoner Niu and the mantis got two gold spirit beads from the Jinge Cave, although the mocking wind returned from the Konoha Cave in vain, but it was no hindrance, plus the three earth spirit beads that the Fox and the Baxia got from the Tuji Cave, the dragon clan already has nine five element spirit beads, in other words, in the future, the trip to the Shuzang Palace, the nine dragon brothers can be dispatched. The Beidou Shuiling Cave in the Five Dipper Star Cave is still not open, and the Big Dipper Seven Star Silk has not been obtained by the Dragon Clan, but the prison cow doesn't care anymore. "Let's see the power of the nine of us brothers combined. He thought happily to himself.

Lu Hailong felt a little regretful, and arched his hand: "Brother Prisoner Niu is polite, I will stay here for a long time because I bother you to help, I don't want to wait in vain, and I have delayed Brother Prisoner Niu for a lot of time." ”

The prisoner cow waved his hand: "Where." The second brother has promised my dragon clan that he can help you three times, and gave you all the Nine Dragons Tengyun Pei, and I should serve myself. It's just that the white demon called can't hide it for a long time, and it's not a way to wait like this after all. Now I have something important to do, and it is inconvenient to stay any longer. However, since Brother Lu has made a request, I should do my best, so be it," he said, he took out a golden and round bead from his bosom and handed it to Lu Hailong, "This is a pearl of the night, if the enemy appears and needs my help, just crush it, and I will come within three days." ”

Lu Hailong took the night pearl and thanked: "Brother Prisoner Niu is really thoughtful. It's just that it looks like this orb is worth a lot of money......"

The prisoner bull laughed heartily: "I don't know how many such things there are, don't be sorry." Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a date later. ”

"There will be a period later. Everyone gave it to each other.

"I went to find Song Xinrong's whereabouts, and it was only within a three-day journey from Tiandao Mountain, if there was an emergency, I would be informed by the Spirit Breath Jade. Sister, guard the Taiqing Sect, I'm leaving. Huangfuyu admonished.

Helian Xin nodded: "Sister, don't worry." Be careful outside. "The sword of the Taiqing Sect has been carried on her back. With the Immortal Sword Chengying and the Protector Sect Great Array, even if Song Xinrong came to the door, Helian Xin's support for the prisoner Niu and Huangfu Yu to come was much more certain.

The prison cow and Huangfu Yu walked to the foot of Tiandao Mountain together, took off and flew into the air, one east and one west in the air.

That night, Lu Hailong meditated on the bed, thinking quietly in his heart. He had a fire spirit bead, and Miao Haoshang and the others brought back five wood spirit beads from the Konoye Cave, so only one Five Elements Spirit Bead was enough for the seven masters of the Taiqing Sect to go to the Shuzang Palace. But now Shi Chongyin has not obtained the Earth Spirit Bead, so Liu Yinyin has to go to the Beidou Shuiling Cave. What should be done with the remaining six places in the hole?

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a proper way, so he simply put the matter aside.

"Shuiling Cave...... Basalt Mercury in the north, the celestial stem belongs to the nong. Water, called 'moist down', is the opposite of the 'flame' of fire, the fire is blazing upwards, and the water is cold downwards. Ling, Bingling also. In this case, the entrance to the Gully Cave should be near the Northland Ice Field. After a little analysis, Lu Hailong deduced the approximate location of Shuiling Cave, "Alas, but the matter of the 'Bone Spirit White Demon' has not yet been resolved, and it is always a matter of mind." He sighed. At this juncture, how dare he send a master to find Shui Ling Cave? However, such an important secret cannot be known to too many disciples in the sect, in case the news leaks and other sects come to the door, it will be troublesome.

When he was worried, a thought suddenly flashed in Lu Hailong's mind: "Yes, let those little guys go." Oh, yes, that's them. ”

The bamboo garden of Weikong Peak is very lively at this time. It turns out that today is Hua Qingyu's birthday, and everyone is celebrating her.

In Yu Ruijiang and Hua Qianxue's room, everyone sat around the square table. The table was full of food and drink.

"Sister Qingyu, this glass of wine is for you, first, to congratulate you on your happy birthday, second, to congratulate you on your re-entry into Yuanying, third, to congratulate you on becoming more and more beautiful, and fourth, to come......" Zhu Xiaomin suddenly stopped.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Hua Qianxue asked curiously, "Xiaomin, what is Silai?"

"Yes, Xiaomin, I'm happy to hear it, what is Silai?" Hua Qingyu said with a red smile.

"These four are coming" Zhu Xiaomin deliberately dragged out his tone and sold Guanzi, "God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, they don't know." I know you know, but you don't know me, hehehe. ”

"Anything I know, my head is big when I hear it. What the hell is going on?Xiaomin, don't let us have an appetite. Tang Junhe smiled.

Zhu Xiaomin had a smug look on his face: "I said Second Senior Sister, you are still a girl's family, why are you so rough? You can't just think about cultivation in ordinary times, you will become a fool like that!"

Tang Junhe "poofed" for a while: "Yo, when will it be your turn to count the senior sister's thick branches and leaves? If you want to say that we are the biggest person in Zhuyuan, no one can recognize the first if you recognize the second." ”

Yu Ruijiang shook his head: "You eccentric girl, cultivating immortals is all about cultivating with penance, and there is no distraction, how can there be any reason to become stupid? Looking at the fellow cultivators, looking at the countless ancestors, which one cultivates immortals."

Don't you go through hard work to achieve success? Don't let down your first-class roots. ”

Zhu Xiaomin pouted: "Yes, yes, yes, Master, Sister Qingyu's birthday, don't teach me a lesson, besides, my current progress in cultivating immortals is not slow." Then, she gently tugged Tang Junhe's sleeve, glanced at Yu Ruijiang out of the corner of her eye, and whispered: "Senior sister, look, what I said just now was not wrong, right?"

Tang Junhe was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Zhu Xiaomin meant, it was precisely because he was thinking about cultivation that Yu Ruijiang was jokingly called 'Yu Da Mu'. She couldn't help it and laughed in a low voice.

Although Zhu Xiaomin lowered his voice, Yu Ruijiang still heard word for word with his keen hearing. He straightened his face and said, "Xiaomin, how dare you make a joke about being a teacher?"

Zhu Xiaomin stuck out her tongue, and her naughty and cute expression amused everyone except Yu Ruijiang.

Hua Qianxue beside her pushed Yu Ruijiang: "She's not wrong, you, just thinking about cultivation and becoming stupid." Qingyu's birthday is a happy thing, don't be a tiger, tonight, don't talk about cultivation, especially you. ”

Yu Ruijiang smiled bitterly: "You, don't spoil my group of apprentices. ”

Hua Qianxue turned her head to look at Zhu Xiaomin: "Xiaomin has a good nature, this is her advantage, why do you want to be spoiled." Xiaomin, don't be afraid of your master, he just said, knife mouth, tofu heart, you are more important in his heart than me, the master. By the way, what do you mean by that one you just knew? Stop playing dumb riddles, we're all waiting for a drink. ”

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "Fourth, I wish Sister Qingyu and Brother Tianyao to become a pair as soon as possible!"

Hua Qingyu's hands trembled and knocked off the chopsticks.

Tianyao's eyes widened: "Why did you suddenly talk about me?" Xiaomin, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Where am I talking nonsense? I don't believe you see Sister Yu, her face is red!" Zhu Xiaomin laughed.

Everyone looked at Hua Qingyu, her face was hot for a while, and she was a little incoherent: "Xiaomin, what is in pairs, don't, don't talk nonsense, it's not good......" The more she spoke, the lower her head became, and the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and in the end, she just saw her mouth move.

Hua Qianxue raised her eyebrows: "Qingyu, but really?

Hua Qingyu was so anxious that she waved her hand again and again: "No, Master, no." ”

Hua Qianxue smiled slightly, turned around and asked, "So, do you dislike Tianyao?"

"Ah, it's not ......" Hua Qingyu panicked, she swept her eyes, met Tianyao's surprised eyes, and immediately buried her head deeply.

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Hua Qianxue already knew it. She asked Zhu Xiaomin with great interest: "Xiaomin, how do you know?"

"If you pay more attention to it, you can guess it. All kinds of signs have repeatedly shown that Sister Qingyu is in love with Brother Tianyao. First of all, Brother Tianyao, let me ask you, when was the last time you washed your own clothes? Who washed your clothes?"

Tianyao thought about it carefully: "It seems that I haven't washed my clothes for more than a month, and Sister Qingyu has washed them all during this period." But Sister Qingyu also helped Brother Tianxiao wash it. ”

Tianxiao patted Tianyao's shoulder: "Come on, it's the initiative to help you wash, help me wash it because I happened to meet me when I was washing your clothes, so I symbolically helped me wash a few pieces." I still wonder how the treatment is so different, but now I understand it. ”

"Secondly, I have seen many times, when Brother Tianyao practiced swordsmanship, Sister Qingyu would often stop the movements in her hands and wait and see, the look was infatuated, and it was wrong to see it. Zhu Xiaomin continued.

"How can I have ......," Hua Qingyu said angrily.

"Yes, I've seen it a few times. But I didn't pay attention to who you were looking at. Tang Junhe said with a smile.

"Senior sister, why can't you even ......" Hua Qingyu was even more embarrassed.

Zhu Xiaomin said again: "This is the last, today is Sister Qingyu's birthday, we want to celebrate her, who proposed this?"

Everyone's eyes "brushed" and looked at Tianyao together.

Tianyao was surprised: "You don't know, Sister Qingyu told me the day before yesterday that today is her birthday, I thought you all knew it." ”

Xiao Liying smiled: "I see. Originally, we didn't know, but we only knew it after listening to you, and Senior Sister Qingyu only told you one person. ”

Tianyao looked at Hua Qingyu, who lowered his head: "Sister Qingyu, is that so?"

Hua Qingyu sighed and raised her head: "Originally, I didn't want to bother everyone to celebrate for me, but I didn't want to, you ran around and told everyone." Everyone is so busy, I can't help it. ”

Tianyao touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Ah...... I thought they all knew, so I proposed to celebrate. ”

Hua Qianxue said with a smile: "Even I, the master, don't know, after accepting Qingyu as an apprentice, she never mentioned the specific date of birth to me." I thought that a few of you who practiced together knew it, but it turned out that Qingyu only told you one. Well, Xiaomin's four greetings are good. ”

Hua Qingyu took a deep breath: "Everyone, please listen to me." Actually, you all misunderstood me. I'll admit that I like Tianyao, but it's not the kind of private relationship between men and women...... As you know, my younger brother Qingyang and I got together less and separated a lot, and finally died a miserable death, and I still think of him from time to time...... Tianyao feels a little similar to Qingyang in my heart, although not very stable, but very cheerful, and likes to joke, I see the shadow of Qingyang from him, therefore, I will pay special attention to him, help him wash clothes, and feel as if compensating for some of the responsibilities of being a sister. Today is my birthday, and it is also Qingyang's birthday...... When chatting the day before yesterday, I thought of Qingyang again, and subconsciously told Tianyao, but ......" said, she burst into tears.

Everyone put away their smiles, and Xiao Liying patted Hua Qingyu's shoulder. Tianyao stood up and walked to Hua Qingyu's side

"Sister Qingyu, these days, I have felt your care, and in my heart, I also treat you as my own sister. If you don't dislike it, how about we marry as brothers with different surnames?"

Hua Qingyu wiped her tears, put on a smiling face, and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll correct it, come here, come here, celebrate Sister Qingyu and Brother Tianyao! Come on, come on, you first worship the sky, worship the earth, and then we celebrate the birthday. Zhu Xiaomin said.

Tianyao took Hua Qingyu's hand, walked out of the door, came to the courtyard, and bowed to the moon and stars. The two hearts are sincere, the sister and brother are deep, and the world is a mirror.

After the ceremony, Zhu Xiaomin cheered and welcomed the two into the room again, and everyone started a happy birthday banquet.

The square table is not large, and even if it is full of wine and food, it is not very much. The dishes in each small plate are exquisite, except for two dishes, and most of the rest are wild vegetables from the mountains. This table of wine and food are all from the hands of Hua Qianxue, and they are locally sourced in Tiandao Mountain, and even the fish are fished from the Liuyin River in the Wind Rhythm Valley. The wine is also a medicinal wine made by her herself, which is not only not easy to get drunk, but also has the effect of warding off the cold and strengthening the body.

I have to say that Hua Qianxue's cooking skills are amazing, the delicacies are exquisite in flavor, color, fragrance and taste, and everyone is full of praise.

"I really didn't expect you to have this hand!" Yu Ruijiang admired in surprise as he put vegetables in his mouth.

"Tsk, master, your skills are no less than the chef in the restaurant. At the beginning, the Qinglong Banquet we ate in Yanzhou tasted about the same level as what you made. Zhu Xiaomin smacked his lips and praised.

Hua Qianxue smiled: "I haven't cooked for many years, but fortunately I haven't been rusty." Actually, I only make wild vegetables and the like, and if I switch to expensive ingredients, I will be dumbfounded. ”

"Heh, such a delicious feast, why don't you call me?" suddenly a figure appeared in the room, and as he spoke, he picked up a mouthful of food and put it to his mouth.

"Ah, senior!" Seeing that it was Lu Hailong, Yu Ruijiang hurriedly got up and made a move. The others also hurriedly stood up.

Lu Hailong waved his hand: "You're welcome, you're welcome if I'm not invited, you guys are polite, sit down." ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao moved left and right, leaving a seat vacated for Lu Hailong. Yu Ruijiang said: "Senior, the affairs of the sect are busy, this is just a junior's birthday banquet, where do you dare to disturb it." ”

"It's okay, I like these juniors very much, and I often come to see them, but you don't know it. But this time, there are really important things for a few of them to do. ”

"Senior, I don't know what's going on?Are you going down the mountain??," Zhu Xiaomin hurriedly asked excitedly.

Lu Hailong knocked her on the head: "I'll ask you to help me find something, probably near the Northern Ice Field." You can find it, you don't have to bring it back. ”

As long as he can go down the mountain, Zhu Xiaomin is naturally overjoyed.

"Senior, the Northern Ice Sheet is extremely vast, I don't know which section of the ice field it is?" asked Han Mingfei respectfully.

"I don't know exactly where it is. You'll have to look for a mysterious boulder along the way from the Valley of the Night Cry in Qianlong County to the edge east of the Wuling Mountains. There is a strange prohibition on the boulder, and when it is moved or destroyed, it will bounce people away, and this is the clue. ”

Yu Ruijiang's eyes lit up: "Senior, is it ......" There are mysterious boulders at the entrance of the Five Douxing Cave, and they are also the mechanism to open the hole, Yu Ruijiang once looked for the Konoha Cave with Li Yuanxiao, so he naturally knew about it.

"It's the Beidou Water Ling Cave. Now that I and those Mahayana periods have to stay in the sect, and I can't let too many people know about this, I thought of a few of their juniors. ”

Yu Ruijiang thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, why don't you send the elders of the sect to go?" ”

Lu Hailong said: "I have considered this. The elders are already busy dealing with the affairs of the sect. In addition, these juniors have all obtained spirit crystals, and their cultivation speed has been greatly improved, and it is also beneficial to stabilize the realm if they slow down a little. There is another reason...... Don't talk about it. Efficiency is not very important, and I have to think carefully about how to deal with the quota of the water Ling Cave during this period. ”

Yu Ruijiang nodded.

Zhu Xiaomin asked again: "Senior, you just said that we want to stabilize the realm, so can't we bring spirit crystals when we go down the mountain this time?"

Lu Hailong said: "Of course not. If someone else sees such a treasure and covets it, you will be in danger. Crystal grabbing is a small matter, but losing a life is a big thing. There is another point, you are not allowed to wear the robes of the Taiqing Sect when you go down the mountain this time, just in case. His worries are not unreasonable, the "Bone Spirit White Demon" Song Xinrong should know that Wan Yu went to intercept the group of people in Konoye Cave, if he finds that he is dead, he will definitely be counted on the head of the Taiqing Sect, if this group of juniors is unlucky to bump into her after going down the mountain, then there must be no return.

Han Mingfei said: "Senior. Shall we leave tomorrow?"

"No, when this birthday feast is over, you should immediately change your clothes and set off. ”

"Senior, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you just say that efficiency is not important?" Tianyao asked.

"It's best not to let anyone know about it. Quietly descending the mountain at night is for your safety. Don't ask, I said efficiency is not very important, but it is not unimportant, you should not waste time all the way. In the end, Lu Hailong looked at Zhu Xiaomin with a smile, "Did you hear that?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked serious: "Senior, don't worry." I'm a bit fun, but I can still prioritize things. However, can we just go with a few of us? Can Sister Qingyu go together? and Senior Brother Lu ......"

Lu Hailong nodded with satisfaction: "Except for your master and master, everyone here will go together." I have already told Lu Baifeng, he will be there in a while, and I am relieved to have him with you. ”

"Great! Everyone will be happy when they go!" Zhu Xiaomin cheered.

At this time, Lu Baifeng's voice sounded outside the door: "Senior, I'm here." ”
