() Tianxiao wears a hat and walks slowly in an alley in Tanzhou.

"Didn't Senior Xiao always forbid me to go out of the island? Why did you suddenly ask me to buy any herbs......" He was very puzzled in his heart, "The stars are wide, the islands are scattered, and a magic circle has been laid out, even if someone passes by, they won't notice it, what's the important thing to refine the pill?"

"Starry sky...... The name of this medicine is really unique, all the pharmacies in the previous state cities have been asked, whether it is the shopkeeper or the guy, they don't know, is it the unique herb of the Tianyan Continent? Or is it not called this name at all in the Qinglong Continent? Tanzhou is a larger state city in the south of Xianglong County, if there is no more here, it will be troublesome, do you have to go all the way north to find Kanglong County?" Tianxiao helped the bucket hat and shook his head slightly.

He had already asked the people in the city just now, and the most famous doctor in Tanzhou was in this inconspicuous alley in the north of the city. Tianxiao decided to ask him.

"The innermost one in the alley...... Here it is!" Tianxiao looked up and saw a dilapidated two-story building, the door was tightly closed, and the plaque on the door was old and mottled, with a few faded big characters: "Chunfeng Zhai". He smiled and thought to himself: "Such a quaint and dilapidated small building has the name of a Fengyue place. I have heard that most of the people who are skilled in medicine have strange tempers, and it seems that this is true. ”

Tianxiao stepped up the steps, raised his hand and just wanted to pat the bronze lion swallowing ring on the door, but the door suddenly opened automatically inward, and a strange musty smell came to his face. He looked inside, and the room was dark, except for a square table and a few worn wooden chairs, as well as the innermost staircase.

"Why don't you come in?" came an old voice from upstairs.

Tianxiao was stunned, he was on the second floor, how did he open the door just now?" I can detect someone outside the door, and I can open the door through the air, this doctor seems to be a master......" He stepped into the room, turned around and closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, the room became even darker, and Tianxiao went up the stairs to the second floor, and by the light that came through the window, he saw a mat the size of a square table in the middle of the room, and nothing else. There was a man lying on the mat with his back to the staircase, his elbow propped up, his posture a little strange, his whole body leaning slightly inward, but not falling.

The man was dressed in gray, with gray hair, a green rope belt around his waist, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet.

Tianxiao smiled slightly, took off his hat, and arched his hand to his back: "It turns out that the divine doctor is actually an immortal cultivator, and he is disrespectful. ”

"Oh, how do you know I'm an immortal cultivator?" the man didn't turn around, still lying down.

The guests did not know that this was the first one, the second was the second when the door was opened on the second floor, the third was the third when the elderly were full of confidence, the fourth was the fourth for leaning over and not falling down, the right shoulder of the gray shirt was damaged, this was the fifth, and the feet were wearing straw sandals without calluses, and this was the sixth. From these six points, I guess that you are an immortal cultivator, and your realm is not low. ”

"Observe carefully. But except for the first and second of these points, the others don't seem to lead to the conclusion you speculated, and I'm curious. ”

Tianxiao explained: "I just heard your voice downstairs, it seems to be older, and your gray hair proves that I heard it right. But I noticed that whether you are upstairs or downstairs, your voice is always strong, clear and detailed, and full of confidence, which is something that ordinary people can't do.

When you're lying on your side, you're leaning inward, but you're steady, which is a testament to the strength of your muscles. And the reason why you lie on your side and lean inward should be to avoid the habit of touching the ground with the blade of the fairy sword on your back. And the tear on the right shoulder of your garment is the result of years of friction with the sword holster.

If you wear straw sandals on your feet but don't have calluses on the heels of your ankles, you don't walk very often. But how can a practitioner of medicine not go around collecting medicine, so I guess you fly more often.

Combined with these points, coupled with your spiritual sense to detect people and open the door with spiritual power, I deduce that you should be a superb immortal cultivator. ”

The old man suddenly sat up, turned to Tianxiao and laughed, "Your reason is too far-fetched.

Let's start with the first point, I happened to be by the window just now, and I saw you, so I knew there was someone outside the door.

The second point is that my medical practice is on the second floor, and it is too troublesome to go downstairs to open the door, so I made a small mechanism, and the upstairs is slapped on the wall, and the door is opened downstairs.

Thirdly, this small building has very few homes and is a little empty, so when you talk upstairs, you can hear it downstairs.

Fourth, lying on my side and leaning inward is because I have a tumor in my left waist, and leaning without falling down is just a habit formed over many years.

Fifth, the wear of the right shoulder of the garment is caused by carrying water, and has nothing to do with the sword cover.

Last but not least," the old man pointed to the straw sandals on his feet, "this grass is called Rouyin grass, and it is characterized by being soft and smooth, so it does not grind the feet." Also, I only prescribe prescriptions and never dispense medicines, so I don't have to go out to collect medicines. Don't you see that I don't even have a single herb in these two floors?"

Tianxiao looked at the old man carefully, his face was thin, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his beard was over his abdomen. Of course Tianxiao didn't believe his explanation, since the old man didn't want to admit it, he didn't say much, and simply expressed his intention: "Old man, I heard people praise you as a miracle doctor, I wonder if you have heard of the herb 'Mantianxing'?"

The old man did not answer, but stared at Tianxiao for a moment, and said, "You come and sit down, and let me give you the number one vein." ”

Tian Xiao was puzzled and walked over in confusion. The old man grabbed Tianxiao's wrist, closed his eyes, touched his beard with one hand, and carefully felt the pulse.

After a long time, the old man opened his eyes, stared at Tianxiao and asked, "Boy, where did you hear the name 'Mantianxing'?

"Uncle, do you know this herb? I was entrusted by a senior to find the 'Heavenly Stars' to refine the elixir. ”

"Hmm......," the old man pondered for a long time, but his answer disappointed Tianxiao again, "I have never heard of this herb. ”

Tianxiao sighed, even the divine doctor didn't know, it seemed that the task assigned by Senior Xiao would not be completed.

The old man suddenly changed his words: "Just because I don't know doesn't mean that I don't."

Yes, after all, a person's knowledge is limited. However, if someone knows for sure whether the 'starry sky' exists, it depends on whether you have the chance to know each other. ”

"Oh, who is it?" Tianxiao's heart rose with hope again.

"I heard that in the world of cultivating immortals, only the flower pulse has the most superb medical skills, if you can know the people of the Huamen in the world, you can ask her. The flower lineage has been passed down for nearly 1,000 years, and the records of herbal medicine must be extremely rich. If she also said no, then there really is none. The old man said.

Tianxiao's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't you think of it? Hua Yimai's medical skills are unique in the world, unparalleled in the world, when the world is the master Hua Qianxue, as long as you ask her, it will be clear? It is inconvenient for him to show up, so let Tianyao do it for him. I can also quietly visit my master and grandfather who have been absent for a long time.

"Thank you for the reminder. Farewell. Tianxiao got up, bowed to the old man, and turned to go downstairs.

The old man laughed and watched Tianxiao go downstairs. After Tianxiao left the small building, he waved his sleeves slightly, and the door closed tightly again.

After making up his mind, Tianxiao did not delay any longer, and went directly north out of the city and marched in the direction of Tiandao Mountain. During the day he did not dare to use the sword, and it was only in the dead of night that he took to the air. Anyway, Senior Xiao asked him to return to the island within three months, which was more than enough time.

......

On this day, Tianxiao arrived at Jianzhou, the royal capital of Xianglong County. It was already noon, and it was raining again, so he planned to find a teahouse to rest for a while.

Most of the people on the street hurriedly passed by Tianxiao. Suddenly, two shades of purple in the distance of the long street caught his eye.

"Taiqing Sect!" Tianxiao saw the familiar robe that he had not seen for a long time, and a strong sense of intimacy suddenly surged in his heart, and he quickly chased after him.

The two disciples went into a restaurant to take shelter from the rain, and Tianxiao followed, sat down at a table next to the two, and ordered a pot of strong tea and a plate of pastries.

The two disciples of the Taiqing Sect ordered a pot of fragrant streams and a few side dishes, and talked while drinking.

"Senior Brother Li, when can we go back this time?" one of them said, "I still want to take advantage of these few years to cultivate well!"

"Who knows...... I might have to wait until after the war with the monsters to go back. By the way, Senior Brother Sun, are you about to break through to the Void Netherworld Realm?" said Senior Brother Li.

Senior Brother Sun raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and sighed: "Yes, alas...... There are less than four years left, which is not enough, but it has been delayed because of this matter. Senior Brother Li, you'll be fine, you just happened to ascend to the Void Nether, and the rest of the time just needs to consolidate the realm. ”

Tianxiao listened carefully from the side. That Senior Brother Li looked a little familiar, and he might have seen it in the sect, but that Senior Brother Sun was not impressed. Listening to the tone of the two of them, it seems that they have accepted some urgent task.

Senior Brother Li filled Senior Brother Sun with wine and comforted: "People are under the mountain, which is equivalent to freedom." Don't be so rigid, you have to learn to be flexible, and you can also practice at the foot of the mountain, right? Looking for people during the day and practicing swords at night, you can ask me if you encounter any problems. ”

"Who are you looking for?" Tianxiao wondered in his heart, and continued to listen.

"After all, it's not as good as the sect, and the aura on the Heavenly Dao Mountain is also strong...... I hope that I can break through smoothly, improve a realm, and have a greater chance of surviving in the fairy and demon war. Senior Brother Sun said, "Senior Brother Li, did you really see Mr. Yi, what does he look like?"

"When Mr. Yi came out of the Hall of Morality, I happened to see him. He had waist-length hair, half blue on the left and half green on the right, and he had a very young face that looked about the same as us. He was followed by several people, all of whom looked very peculiar, one was thin and tall, like a bamboo pole, and a fat man, who looked really ...... I can't even describe it, it's so ugly. Senior Brother Li shook his head and smiled.

Senior Brother Sun leaned closer and said softly: "Aren't the two late Mahayana masters of our Taiqing Sect the same strange? One is as thin as a monkey, but it is a heavy sword, and the other is fat and strong, but he uses a thin sword like a 'needle', it's really funny, the two of them are almost ...... for a change."

Tianxiao at the next table heard it clearly, he took a sip of tea, and secretly laughed.

Senior Brother Li also lowered his voice and said, "Maybe each master has his own unique style. I heard that on that day, the people of the other six major sects and several loose cultivators gathered in the Taiqing Sect, all of them were not good and aggressive, if it wasn't for Senior Lu rushing back in time, Sect Master Li would almost not be able to cope with it. ”

Tianxiao frowned, he recalled that after the treasure exploration in Youlong County, because of the news of the Seven Star Sword, the six major sect masters gathered in the Taiqing Sect. So what is the purpose of the six major sects gathering in the Taiqing Sect this time?

"Isn't it all caused by that damn He Tianxiao? If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have wasted these years. Senior Brother Sun complained.

Tianxiao's hand holding the tea bowl trembled.

Senior Brother Li said, "Senior Brother Sun, don't underestimate him. You didn't know his reputation in the sect at the beginning, but now it's only been how many years, and he can actually kill the master of the Cave Void Realm! That's why Master ordered us to join Senior Brother Zhang before we act together. ”

Tianxiao put down the tea bowl. He was plundered to the island by Senior Xiao a few years ago, when did he kill any master of the Cave Void Realm?

"Hey, Senior Brother Li, just a scum, what do you admire him for?" Senior Brother Sun's tone was very disdainful, "I don't have perseverance, I can't withstand the blow, and now I don't know who to learn the evil sect exercises with, I am looking for a small sect to start, and persimmons are picking soft pinching, what can I do? It is simply a loss of our reputation as a Taiqing Sect! As the saying goes: 'A good man does not mention the courage of the past', I don't care how talented he was in the past, and now even if he is strong, I look down on him, and I am blind to such a big beauty as Senior Sister Xiao who worries about him." ”

Tianxiao clenched his fists. This is the first time I have heard someone slander themselves, and it is because of a trumped-up crime.

"Tut, speaking of Senior Sister Xiao, I haven't seen her in years. Recently, none of the junior sisters who have just joined the sect are good-looking. Senior Brother Li sighed.

Senior Brother Sun smiled: "Senior Brother Li, even if you look at it."

What can you do when you get to Senior Sister Xiao? Other people's minds are not on you. If you want to say that the most beautiful girls in our sect are all in the bamboo garden. If Senior Sister Tang and Senior Sister Zhu don't have hope, that Senior Sister Qingyu can also do it, Senior Brother Li, do you have any plans?"

"How dare I? Senior Sister Qingyu's master, it seems that Hua Qianxue is here, but it is very powerful, I heard that Senior Brother Peng, who went back to Siwufeng, went to Zhuyuan because of this matter, and touched a gray nose at Senior Sister Qingyu, not to mention, and was scolded by Hua Qianxue, haha, but it is a shame. ”

"Senior Brother ......" Senior Brother Sun suddenly held Senior Brother Li's hand, his eyes glanced in the direction of Tianxiao, he noticed that from just now, the person with the hat next to him behaved strangely, he didn't drink tea or eat pastries, and seemed to be eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

Without waiting for the two of them to become suspicious, Tianxiao stood up first, pointed to the table of the two and greeted Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, give the two Taoist friends another big jar of good wine, four plates of side dishes, and that table will be counted in my account!"

Xiao Er responded simply, and ran downstairs.

Seeing that Tianxiao was so bold and polite, Senior Brother Li got up and arched his hand: "It turns out that Your Excellency is also an immortal cultivator. Thank you for your generosity!"

Tianxiao pressed the edge of the hat: "Two Taoist friends don't have to care, I am a casual cultivator, and I have admired your sect for a long time." Today, when I have this opportunity, I will definitely have a drink with the two of you. ”

Senior Brother Li stretched out his hand to the empty chair next to the table: "Please!"

"It's inconvenient for Daoyou to wear a hat, why don't you take it off?" After Tianxiao sat down, Senior Brother Sun said.

"I ...... The appearance was ugly, and since he was a child, he wore a hat and a light veil to cover it, and he was afraid of sweeping away the wine of the two Taoist friends. Tianxiao prevaricated.

Senior Brother Sun smiled and said, "Daoist friends are serious, how can I be a disciple of the Taiqing Sect who judges people by their appearance? ”

Senior Brother Li was invited by Tianxiao, and he was in a good mood: "Hey, Senior Brother Sun, since this Taoist friend is inconvenient to show up, let's not force it." As the saying goes, 'meeting is fate', since there is fate, what does it matter if you know your true face or not? ”

Xiao Er came up with a jar of fragrant streams and a stack of large bowls, judging from his experience, the guests who want the big jar of wine must be heroic, and they will not be rare The small wine cup must be the master of drinking wine in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces.

Tianxiao poured a full bowl of wine for the two of them and himself, picked it up and said, "That's right! I salute the two of you first!" Tianxiao opened a small slit in the black veil, careful not to show his face, and drank the bowl of wine.

Li and Sun also raised their bowls and drank them all. Soon, the appetizers were ready. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the relationship between the three of them has become much closer. Taking advantage of the excitement, Tianxiao pretended to ask casually: "I accidentally heard the conversation between the two brothers, it seems that something big happened in the sect?

Senior Brother Li said, "I said, brother, you must have been cultivating in seclusion for a long time, right?

"Indeed, Brother Li Mo smiled, this is the first time I have come down the mountain after the retreat. ”

"Brother, what is your surname?" asked Senior Brother Li.

"Don't give your surname Xiao. Tianxiao said casually.

"Brother Xiao, this matter has to start with a disciple of my sect. This person's surname is He, his name is Tianxiao, he gave up cultivating immortals more than ten years ago because of the failure of getting a baby, and he disappeared after leaving the sect. But recently, for some reason, he suddenly appeared again, and his cultivation became great, and he eliminated several small sects in a row, and even the masters of the Cave Void Realm were killed by him. This matter has already caused a lot of uproar, and this time we were ordered by the elders of the division to go down the mountain to find him. Senior Brother Li said.

Tianxiao asked suspiciously, "Oh, but someone saw him kill with his own eyes?"

Senior Brother Sun said, "That's not true. Everyone who had seen He Tianxiao was killed by him, but after he killed someone, he left a handwriting: 'Murderer, He Tianxiao', which is simply too rampant. ”

Tianxiao finally understood, it turned out that someone was pretending to be himself to commit murder!" I don't believe it, since he has given up cultivating immortals, how can he cultivate to become a great elder? "God is puzzled, isn't no one discovering such a simple question?

Senior Brother Li shook his head and sighed: "Brother Xiao, you don't know anything. According to the speculation of Mr. Yi, the reason why He Tianxiao gave up cultivating immortals, and now he has become a great master, is because he has practiced the exercises of the evil sect, and he has gone mad, otherwise he would not be so mad and destroy several small sects that have no grievances and hatreds against him. What's even more odious is that he also slaughtered a cadre of disciples of the Golden Immortal Sect of Xianglong County, and at that time, there were many other disciples of the sect, including the disciples of the Taiqing Sect, who were all killed by him!"

He already knew who did it, he had been missing for so long, and there were very few people who knew his name, so who else could there be besides that "Senior Xiao"? No wonder he often went out at night, so he turned out to be doing such things.

At this moment, Tianxiao's heart was full of mixed feelings, shock, resentment, chagrin, disappointment, anger, all kinds of complicated emotions filled his heart, someone pretended to be an obvious thing, why did that Yi Liuchen have to settle the account on his head? If others didn't believe it, how could even the elders of the sect not trust him? If it weren't for Li Yuanxiao's consent, how could the elders of the Taiqing Sect send their disciples down the mountain to find themselves?

"Is there any evidence for Mr. Yi's speculation?" asked Tian Xiao unwillingly.

"I heard that there is, we ordinary disciples don't know much. Going down the mountain to find someone is an order given by the sect master himself, and it should not be wrong. Senior Brother Li said.

Senior Brother Sun picked up the wine bowl: "Now all the major sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm are looking for He Tianxiao, but they just don't know where he is hiding. Forget it, that scum has lost the face of the sect, don't mention it, don't let him sweep our wine, come, do it!"

Tianxiao silently raised the wine bowl and drank the wine inside, the original mellow and delicious fragrance flowed, but now it burned his throat like poison.
