() Miao Haoshang and Jiang Huangu both looked at Zhu Xiaomin's wrist carefully, and they couldn't see any reason.

"What's wrong with Old Lu? Even his expression has changed. Miao Haoshang wondered.

Jiang Huangu didn't answer the question, but asked Miao Haoshang: "Have you ever heard of that kind of grass?"

"Nope. ”

Lu Hailong didn't come down for a long time, and everyone had to wait in place.

Lu Hailong flew up while scanning around the cliff wall, looking for the "Rabbit Head Rock". "If my guess is correct, those two should be the legendary spirit grass purple iron ethereal. ”

Purple iron is the best spiritual thing in the herbs. Ead, also known as perilla, is a good medicine. Iron Wattle is a rare species of Radix herbs. Different from ordinary weeds, the leaves are small and dense, and hard as iron, hence the name. Iron elongation, ten years for white iron, thirty years for green iron, fifty years for green iron, seventy years for blue iron, more than a hundred years can turn purple, for purple iron. In terms of medicinal properties, white iron is mixed but not refined, green iron is refined but not specialized, green iron is specialized but not concentrated, blue iron is condensed but not dense, only purple iron is excellent in medicinal properties, and it is an excellent herb for calcining the body. Most of the purple iron is born between the crevices of the cliffs, highlighting its strong quality. Due to the enrichment of medicinal properties in the grass leaves, remember when harvesting: the stem is separated from the root and dies, the leaf is separated from the stem and dies, such as the injured leaves, the plant is dead, and the top flower is damaged and degenerates into white iron. If you want to not lose its properties and not damage its life, you must break the rock, carefully dig out the roots, and put the plant into the medicine ding within an hour.

This passage is recorded in the "Danxia Secret Classic" written by Ge Puhong, the legendary alchemy master of the Taiqing Sect. Lu Hailong inadvertently remembered the name "Zitieyi" when he flipped through it, but the specific description was hazy and only remembered a rough idea, and when he heard Zhu Xiaomin say that the tiny leaves were as hard as iron sheets, he immediately guessed that it might be this strange spirit grass. If it was really Zitie Ying, Lu Hailong planned to immediately return to Taiqing Sect to get the medicine tripod and dig up the spirit grass stalk for alchemy, after all, he couldn't go back within an hour of picking the spirit grass, so he could only refine it on the spot. After Dancheng, he gave it to a few juniors, which can save a lot of body work. What's more, the Purple Iron Pill refined by the Purple Iron Wing is very beneficial even for Lu Hailong to eat it himself.

But Lu Hailong patiently looked at the range between fifty and one hundred and fifty zhang, from south to north, and half a mile, but he didn't see the two spirit grasses at all. He had carefully examined every raised stone, and found nothing.

Helplessly, Lu Hailong fell to the bottom of the valley and asked the three juniors: "Are you sure that the purple grass is above here? Could it be that you have misremembered the location? I searched for half a mile from north to south, up and down, but I didn't find it." ”

"Huh?" The three of them looked at each other, and Tianxiao replied, "Senior, I'm sure it's about fifty zhang above." Today we have climbed up and down here sixty times and have never moved a place. ”

"Senior, take me up and I'll show you it myself. Zhu Xiaomin said.

Lu Hailong pulled her onto the fairy sword and quickly flew upward.

Miao Hao said: "It seems that it must be some rare herb, otherwise Lao Lu would not be like this." ”

"Yes, purple iron, of course it's rare. Jiang Huangu raised his head and tried his best to look at the point of light in the high place, which was the light of the fairy sword.

"Zitie Yi, do you know?" Miao Haoshang asked, turning his head.

Jiang Huangu teased: "Of course." It is clearly recorded in the "Danxia Secret Classic". You never read the books and books, and it's normal to be ignorant. ”

"Oh, ho, dare to despise me, do you want to compete?" Miao Haoshang put on a posture.

"Come on, in front of a few juniors, you're not ashamed. I changed 'ignorance' to 'ignorance', right?"

"That's pretty much it. Miao Haoshang muttered, his gaze returned to the top, and the point of light of the fairy sword had turned into a small star, and he couldn't see clearly.

"Huh, it's really strange, those two grasses just now are obviously there!" Zhu Xiaomin pointed to the bare "Rabbit Head Rock".

The top of the "Rabbit Head Rock" is empty, and it has lost two "ears", and it no longer looks like a rabbit.

Lu Hailong landed on the rock, and when he looked closely, the rock wall here was obviously recessed into a large piece. "Could it have been dug up?" Just as he was wondering, Zhu Xiaomin exclaimed: "Ah, senior, there doesn't seem to be this big pit here just now." Her words confirmed Lu Hailong's suspicion that the Purple Iron Wing had indeed been dug up! Moreover, this person not only knew the rarity of the Purple Iron Frog, but also understood its strange and demanding characteristics, so he broke through the rocks and dug it up.

"Alas......" Lu Hailong sighed, "It seems that we don't have that good luck after all." Those two spirit grasses have long been targeted. ”

"Could it be the one who flew the ice cube and shot down my immortal sword?" Zhu Xiaomin said.

"Hmm......" Lu Hailong nodded, "Who else can there be but him?" he must be a master of the world, and I sigh to myself for such exquisite control. ”

Zhu Xiaomin was a little unconvinced: "Isn't it just to knock down the fairy sword in your hand without hurting me, isn't this a little thing easy for the seniors to come easily? The seniors are too modest." ”

Lu Hailong said solemnly: "You are wrong. That master didn't just take down your fairy sword. There's no water here, do you know where the ice comes from?"

"I don't know. ”

"It's condensed with spiritual power. ”

Zhu Xiaomin was taken aback: "Spiritual power can also be condensed into ice?"

"What's not to do? Spiritual power can be turned into fire, and naturally it can also be turned into ice. It's just that fire is an illusory thing, and ice is a real body, and the requirements for spiritual power for 'condensing into ice' are much higher than 'transforming into fire'. Besides, your decision to chop the grass was a spur of the moment, and I admire how the master was able to condense ice cubes in such a short time and project them from places you don't even notice. ”

"Not really. When I saw the comfrey, I said I wanted to pick it

Come down, maybe that person has been condensing ice since then?" Zhu Xiaomin was a little disapproving.

Lu Hailong glanced sideways at Zhu Xiaomin: "Didn't the ice cube melt after it landed? The ice cube condensed early would have melted a long time ago! Also, do you know why your wrist is not sore and flexible? It is precisely because that piece of ice hit the Neiguan acupoint on your wrist and sent a spiritual power to stimulate the acupuncture point and widen the meridians near the acupuncture point. I don't think I have that kind of control. ”

Zhu Xiaomin was shocked when he heard this, looked at his wrist and said, "No wonder there has always been a warm feeling." ”

Lu Hailong continued: "Although I also plan to help the three of you broaden the meridians, but the spiritual power consumed is too much, and I can only help you broaden the main meridians, and the secondary meridians around the body are already small and fragile, and I can't do anything about it. Broadening the meridians is not an easy task, it requires concentration, and the slightest mistake can cost you your life. Throwing a piece of ice like this casually widens the meridians, and the cultivation of that mysterious person can be called unfathomable. As he spoke, he thought in his heart: "Fortunately, this person has no bad intentions, if he is a person with a bad temper, he will kill a few of them in the palm of his hand!"

Lu Hailong took Zhu Xiaomin back to the bottom of the night crying valley and briefly narrated it to Miao Haoshang and Jiang Huangu, and the two were amazed again and again.

"Old Lu, what kind of realm do you estimate that master?" Miao Hao asked.

"This person's control over spiritual power is terrifyingly high, and I'm afraid that even people in the late stage of the Tribulation may not be able to do it. ”

Jiang Huangu's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, that master is ......."

"Not necessarily. Lu Hailong interrupted, "Maybe someone specializes in cultivating control? No matter what, there is no doubt that he must be a master above the Tribulation Realm." ”

"Then won't the few of them be uneasy here? Do you want to change places?" Miao Haoshang was slightly worried. There is an unknown master of the Tribulation Realm who is cultivating here, and it will be dangerous if he is angered.

"No, I don't. That master obviously didn't want Xiao Min to destroy the spirit grass so he shot down her fairy sword, and at the same time gave her a 'gift', it can be seen that he is a kind-hearted person, and we have the right to temporarily use his retreat to cultivate for a while. Listen, if you see anything strange again, don't touch or pick it. Some of them may contain highly poisonous, beware of your life!" Lu Hailong told the three juniors.

"Yes. Tianxiao, Tianyao and Zhu Xiaomin responded obediently.

At this time, it was already ugly at night, and the valley could not be seen with five fingers, and Lu Hailong led everyone to the depths of the valley in front. It was too dark around, and the three juniors didn't have enough eyesight, so they had to take out the fairy sword to illuminate it.

The Valley of Night Crying is gloomy during the day, and even darker after nightfall. There are no trees or flowers in the valley, and there are rubble and rocks everywhere. With the light of the fairy sword, the craggy rocks on the cliff cast terrifying shadows one after another. The cold wind whined through the valley, as if from a distance there were bursts of women's sobs. The sound of falling rubble from the cliff wall comes and goes, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Zhu Xiaomin's hair stood on end when he heard this, and he couldn't help but tighten his clothes.

Tianyao noticed her movements and comforted: "There is a cloud in the "Geographical Chronicles": 'The valley of the night crying, after the night, the strange sound, whining, humming, whirring, like a woman's sobbing, children's crying, in fact, it is the sound of the wind blowing through the valley, so the valley is famous for crying at night. 'Xiaomin, don't be afraid, it's all the sound of the wind. ”

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I was thinking about that mysterious master, how could he choose such a desolate and gloomy place to retreat, his temper must be very strange......"

Miao Haoshang in front of him heard this: "Are immortal cultivators still afraid of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods? Not to mention that he is a master of Taoism. Don't think about it, you are about to suffer great pain, so be mentally prepared. ”

The six of them came to a relatively spacious flat land. There were no trees in the valley, and there was no fire, so the six sat on the ground in the dark. Tianxiao, Tianyao, and Xiaomin were side by side, and Miao Haoshang, Lu Hailong, and Jiang Huangu sat behind the three of them, with a little spiritual power, and slammed their palms on the backs of the three people, and the process of broadening the meridians began.

The human body has 12 main meridians, 8 major veins, and a total of 720 acupuncture points on the body, of course, it is impossible to widen the department, Lu Hailong's plan is to widen the 12 main meridians in the hand Shaoyang Heart Sutra, the Hand Taiyin Lung Sutra, the Zu Shaoyang gallbladder meridian, and the Zu Taiyin Spleen Sutra, as well as the Yin and Yang veins in the eight major veins. The four meridians are divided into two hands and two feet, corresponding to the four organs of the heart, lungs, gallbladder and spleen, and the yang vein starts from the outside of the heel, parallel to the foot less yang and gallbladder meridians, and finally supervises the pulse, which has the function of maintaining the yang meridian in the body;

Choosing these four canons and two major veins, Lu Hailong has been thinking about it for a long time. After broadening the meridians, the yin and yang qi in the body are more abundant, but the balance is not broken, and it can also make the spiritual power run more quickly and the reserves are more abundant.

The process of widening the meridians is really as Miao Haoshang said, Tianxiao, Tianyao and Zhu Xiaomin felt extremely painful in their bodies, and the meridians were filled with powerful spiritual power, and forcibly widened, and a tearing sharp pain swept in, and the soreness left by climbing the cliff during the day seemed to be magnified several times in an instant, and the feeling of insects biting ants and ants constantly sprouted in all parts of the body, and the three of them gritted their teeth and sweated profusely.

Seeing that the bodies of the three of them trembled slightly, Lu Hailong couldn't help but worry that something was wrong, so he asked them to silently recite the sword mantra to stabilize their minds.

The three of them silently recited the sword song from the "Source Shadow Sword Book" in their hearts, trying not to think about the pain they were suffering. This method is really effective, as the spirit settles, the pain in the body seems to be getting lighter and lighter, and in the end I can't feel anything, and I only have a catchy sword mantra in my head. I don't know how long it took, the three of them felt a powerful spiritual power suddenly surge behind them, slamming into the meridians in their bodies, and then, the three of them all went soft and fainted

Past.

......

By the time I opened my eyes, it was already dawn. Tianxiao stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt very comfortable, and the soreness and fatigue disappeared without a trace. "Ah, that's comfortable!" he stretched.

Tianyao, who was on the side of "shhhh

Tianxiao looked back and saw that Lu Hailong, Miao Haoshang and Jiang Huangu were meditating. The faces of the three of them showed obvious fatigue, and it seemed that their spiritual power was extremely depleted.

Zhu Xiaomin pointed to the distance, and the three of them lightly returned to the place where they climbed the cliff yesterday and began today's cultivation. When passing by the "Rabbit Head Rock", they also jumped up to take a closer look. The night before, the light was too dim, Zhu Xiaomin didn't look carefully, this time she could see clearly, there was only a large circular pit left in the location of the two spirit grass trees, and the edge of the pit wall was neat and neat, and it was cut out with a sharp fairy sword at a glance.

"Senior, thank you" Zhu Xiaomin put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly. The echo reverberated through the valley and spread into the distance. Seeing Tianxiao and Tianyao's incomprehensible eyes, she smiled and told Lu Hailong's analysis last night, and Tianxiao and Tianyao were both surprised.

The trio started climbing again.

In a dark and dark place, there was a man sitting cross-legged, a smile rising into his mouth.

Today's cliff climbing is a lot less effort for the three of them, and their physical fitness is stronger, and they can reach a distance of two zhang in every jump, but their physical strength is not as abundant as yesterday. The aura at the bottom of the valley is relatively thin, and there was no time to meditate the night before, so there is not much spiritual power left in the bodies of the three of them. It wasn't until three o'clock in the middle of the night that the three of them had made thirty round trips, and they were so tired that they sat on the ground gasping for breath. The three seniors did not come to pick them up, but have been meditating and recovering in the clearing. The three of them rested for a moment and returned to the clearing.

Tonight is no different from last night, after Lu Hailong and the other three meditate over, they still have to continue to broaden their meridians for Tianxiao. It will take at least a year to complete the widening of the four main meridians and the two major veins. One year of refining the body, one year of refining the soul, Lu Hailong had already planned it.

Although the pain of widening the meridians was uncomfortable, Tianxiao and the other three knew very well in their hearts that this move would be of great benefit to their future path of cultivating immortals, so they gritted their teeth and persevered. With the experience of the previous night, they did not pass out tonight. When they were done, they took out the spirit crystals and began to meditate.

It wasn't until the end of the next day that they finished meditating and returned to the place where they climbed the cliff, ready to start today's cultivation.

Zhu Xiaomin proposed: "I heard Senior Lu say that we have to temper our bodies for a year, and how boring it is to always climb cliffs in the same place, why don't we change places?"

"Good. However, don't get too close to the open space, so as not to affect the meditation of the three seniors. "Tianyao said.

"Nice view from the front, let's go over there again. "Heaven is good.

The three of them changed places and looked for a new way to climb the cliff. In the process of climbing up and down, admiring the jagged and strange rocks is the only pleasure, Zhu Xiaomin is tired of it, exerts great imagination, thinks of the stones as various animals, and has names, such as "Antler Rock", as the name suggests, the rock is slender and forked, some like antlers, and the "Turtle Rock" that looks like a turtle, as well as "Bear's Paw Rock, Gooseneck Rock, Elephant Ear Rock, Horseshoe Rock" and so on. After 30 trips in one day, the environment became very familiar, so the next day, the three of them moved to another place to climb the cliff. In this way, they find a new place to practice every day, but fortunately, the north and south of the Night Crying Valley are extremely longitudinal, and it may not be possible to change all the places in a year.

......

Since the first day of cultivation, two months have passed, and Tianxiao, Tianyao, and Zhu Xiaomin have just been broadened a "Hand Shaoyang Heart Sutra". After that, Lu Hailong increased the cultivation weight of the three of them again, and he had to climb the cliff five times a day.

"We've been climbing the cliff to the east for the past two months, and today we're going to move to the west, right?" Zhu Xiaomin said.

Tianyao pointed to the heights: "But the cliff in the west is not easy to climb, you see, there are fewer protruding stones." ”

"But there are more crevices than in the east. ”

Tianxiao said: "The west is the west, as long as there is a place to settle, we can climb up." ”

Sure enough, the west side is more difficult to climb, and although the rock crevasse can be attached to the foot, it is far less easy to insert your hands and feet into the crevice than to step on the convex rock.

There are fewer convex stones, and the gaps don't look like any animals, and even the fun of naming is gone, Zhu Xiaomin regrets it a little in his heart. Just when she was depressed, Tianyao suddenly said an astonishing sentence: "Hey, I have a question in mind." You say, how can the cliffs on both sides of this thing be so coincidental? There are many convex rocks on one side and many concave cracks on the other, will there be a one-to-one correspondence?"

"One-to-one correspondence?" Tianxiao also found the idea interesting. After looking behind him and comparing with each other, he smiled, "Don't say it, it seems to be true." You can see a few large convex rocks on the opposite cliff, corresponding to several large caves on the cliff on this side. ”

"Hmm...... If it is really a one-to-one correspondence, it means that the cliffs on these two sides were originally combined. Tianyao speculated.

"What does that mean?" Zhu Xiaomin didn't understand what he meant.

"It was together, but now it's separate. You say, could it be cut open by someone?" Tianyao himself was taken aback by this thought.

"Impossible!" Tianxiao smiled, "There are thousands of miles in the north and south of the Night Crying Valley, who has such a great ability to split the earth?"

"Haha, Brother Tianyao, you really think that if it is split, then it should be as smooth as the cliffs on both sides, how can there be so many convex stones and concave cracks?" Zhu Xiaomin said.

Tianyao smiled awkwardly: "Yes." Then he shook his head, no longer thinking about the strange thought.

Suddenly, Tianxiao let out a puzzle: "Huh?"
