() There was a slight "crackling" sound in my ears.

This slight sound also made He Tianyao, who was in a coma, gradually wake up. He opened his eyes slightly, and a few steps away there was a roaring fire, and the sound of firewood crackling was the source of the "crackling" sound.

In the haze, He Tianyao still didn't come back to his senses. "What's wrong with me...... Where am I......" The consciousness in his mind was blurry, and he couldn't even recall the experience before he fell into a coma for a while. His gaze moved upwards with the steaming sparks on the fire, and the drifting sparks seemed to dance with the stars in the clear night sky, and it seemed that he could not distinguish which ones were Mars and which were stars.

There seemed to be a figure looming behind the fire. He Tianyao wanted to take a closer look, but his eyes were shaken by the dazzling firelight, and tears should have poured out, but they were as dry as a desert with a long drought. He groaned softly and covered his eyes with his hands.

The man behind the fire heard it and stood up. He Tianyao could feel that the man was walking towards him. "What is he going to do?" He Tianyao instinctively became alert. In an instant, he was relieved again. Since he was safe and sound during his coma just now, what danger is there now?

Memories of the pre-coma gradually revived in his brain. "By the way, Qian Qiusui, Zhuo Qingfeng, Peng Xinwei...... There is also Kuang Difeng, I was injured in the fierce fight with Kuang Difeng......" At this time, the burning eyes suddenly flowed into a refreshing coolness, and it was immediately very refreshing.

"Your eyes were injured by poison gas in the dungeon, and you would have been fine after a few days of recuperation, but the Tyrant Pill you took at the last minute exacerbated the injury. Don't open your eyes for a few days, or you'll go blind. A male voice said.

His voice was deep but not hoarse, making people listen like a breeze.

"Thank you for the rescue. He Tianyao struggled to prop up his upper body and thanked him.

Unexpectedly, the man laughed: "Oh, hero, why do you call me that? It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me that." ”

"In times of crisis, you not only secretly saved my life, but also helped me destroy the wicked, and healed my eyes. This chivalrous courage is naturally well-deserved to be called a 'hero'. He Tianyao knew that at the moment when he was exhausted and was about to be stabbed to death by Kuang Difeng's sword, a surging and majestic spiritual power suddenly poured into his body from behind, and it was with the help of this power that he could kill Kuang Difeng with lightning speed. Kuang Difeng's realm is at least at the level of the late Mahayana stage, so the strength of this "hero" who secretly helps each other can be seen.

"You don't have to thank me. The Qinglong Sect is full of smoke and miasma, and it is time to clean it up. Besides......" The man paused for a moment, lowered his voice, and sighed, "I once owed you a debt, so it can be regarded as compensation." ”

He Tianyao couldn't help but wonder. In an instant, like a lightning bolt crossed his brain, a spirit bounced up from the bed and shouted, "Chu Yuanhui! You are the sword immortal Chu Yuanhui who killed Brother Tianxiao!" He finally remembered this person's voice.

"That's right, it's me. Chu Yuanhui said lightly.

"You ......" He Tianyao's mind was confused, and he couldn't think of what to say for a while.

"I advise you not to get too excited, it's not just your eyes that hurt. Chu Yuanhui reminded.

"Although you saved me, don't expect me to be grateful to you!" He Tianyao said angrily, lying down and silent. He is now injured and has no way to take revenge, and besides, the other party is a sword immortal, so he can't beat him at all.

Chu Yuanhui didn't say anything more, but grabbed He Tianyao's wrist to look at the injury, and gently put it down.

For several days, there was no further conversation between the two. He Tianyao couldn't see, and just meditated every day to recuperate. Chu Yuanhui would light a bonfire every night and extinguish it in the early morning, and in addition, he would come every morning, afternoon, and evening party to give He Tianyao's eyes medicine and check the recovery of his injuries. The rest of the time, Chu Yuanhui was outside, He Tianyao didn't know, and he didn't want to know where he went.

There is one thing that is funny, He Tianyao suddenly remembered one day that when he woke up before, he had seen the starry night sky, but he was clearly lying on a bed at the time, and he was very sure that he did not see the sky through the window at that time. In addition, this Chu Yuanhui is strange enough to light a bonfire in the room. All the weirdness was revealed on a sudden rainy night, and when the cold raindrops fell on He Tianyao's face, he suddenly realized that this house had no roof!

Since there is no roof, it is "four walls", if you can't shelter from the wind and rain, I really don't know what the use of this kind of house is. Rather than believing that it was in disrepair, He Tianyao was more inclined to this is the maverick of the Sword Immortal.

One morning ten days later, when Chu Yuanhui He Tianyao finished his routine examination, he said simply: "You can open your eyes." ”

He Tianyao slowly opened his eyes, and the bright morning light that greeted him, and a wisp of green smoke rising from the ashes of the fire made his heart feel a trace of joy that he had not seen for a long time.

He finally saw Chu Yuanhui's house clearly. Originally, he thought that this house was "surrounded by four walls", but now it seems that it is still overestimated. In fact, strictly speaking, it is not even a "house" here. A few rough wooden planks put together three "walls", and the other side turned out to be loess. The loess is a sloping slope covered with withered yellow grass roots, interspersed with abrupt rock corners and messy gravel. Because of the rain the night before, the loess melted into mud and flowed all over the ground. Obviously, this dilapidated "house" was built on a hillside.

The furnishings in the room are even more rudimentary. A stone slab that is not even smooth is placed on the hillside at one end, and a rock is cushioned at the other end, so that it is a "table". There is a flattened stump on each side of the table, which is called the "stool". The bed He Tianyao sat on was a wooden board covered with puff pads, which was also resting on the stone. Except for this "table", a "bed", and two "stools", there was nothing else in the room.

"You usually live here?" He Tianyao looked at Chu Yuanhui in disbelief, who was cleaning up the ashes.

"Just go with the flow. Chu Yuanhui didn't raise his head, and smiled faintly, "Brother Jiang's nest is not necessarily much better than mine here." ”

He Tianyao has been following Jiang Chengdong all these years

Escaping and retreating on an isolated island in the open sea, the living environment is naturally superior. But looking back, think of the several sword immortals he has encountered in his life: Yan Linsong guarding his wife's spirit in the cave of Night Crying Valley, Gongsun pretending to be a doctor and living in an unknown alley in Tanzhou City, Jiang Chengdong living in seclusion on a remote island, and Chu Yuanhui living in such a dilapidated and remote place. Except for Gongsun Yu, it seems that every sword immortal is deliberately avoiding the world. If it weren't for the secret search for the whereabouts of "Mrs. Xiao", I'm afraid Gongsun would be like the other three sword immortals.

He Tianyao moved the muscles and bones of his upper limbs, and he had been sitting for a long time for ten days, and it seemed that his bones had become loose.

"Your injuries are fine, you can get out of bed. Chu Yuanhui stood up, walked to the door without a "door", and said sideways, "By the way, you can go next door to have a look in a while, maybe...... There was a surprise. With that, he walked into the distance, seemingly slowly, but quickly, and disappeared into the distant woods in just a few steps.

"What's the surprise? "What's the surprise?" He Tianyao jumped out ......of bed with his hands in his hands, "Hiss-" He suddenly gasped in pain, his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he held on to the edge of the bed in time. "It's strange, how can this injury be so serious? The external injury is only a sword wound, even if it hurts the internal organs, it won't hurt all over the body...... It seems that there are still quite serious internal injuries......" He slowly twisted his waist from side to side as he stood up.

"He doesn't want to give me something to please me, does he?" He Tianyao muttered and walked out of the room.

The wooden house leaned against the hillside on one side and had an equally modest room on the other. But the difference is that that the house has a roof. Before, because He Tianyao's bed for recuperation was on the edge of the partition wall, his vision was blocked, so he never found that there was a room next to it.

The house also had a door hole but no door leaf, and a window hole but no window lattice. "Could it be that there is someone inside?" He Tianyao walked towards the door. It was dawn, but the room was so dark that you couldn't see the inside from the outside. As he was about to step into the room, a faint wall of light suddenly flashed in the doorway, gently bouncing his raised foot back.

So that's the case, Chu Yuanhui has placed a ban in the room, no wonder he can't see the situation in the house clearly.

For He Tianyao, of course, it is not a problem to break this ban on shading light and wind. He gently unleashed a wave of spiritual power, shattering the forbidden wall of light.

The furnishings in the room are also very simple. On the bed, a woman was sitting.

He Tianyao was stunned, that delicate face, neat short hair, and simple gray clothes, wasn't it Hua Qingyu?

It turns out she's not dead yet!

"Sister Qingyu!" He Tianyao shouted excitedly, and jumped to the bed.

Hua Qingyu sat upright and didn't move.

"Sister Qingyu?" He Tianyao reached out and probed her snort, there seemed to be nothing abnormal. So he gently shook Hua Qingyu's shoulder.

Hua Qingyu opened her eyes and saw He Tianyao, who was overjoyed in front of her, showing a smile, but did not speak.

"Sister Qingyu, great, it's great that you're okay, I thought you were ......" He Tianyao's eyes turned red.

Hua Qingyu shook her head, pointed to her mouth, pointed to her ears, and then waved her hand.

"What do you mean...... You can't hear and you can't speak now?" He Tianyao asked puzzled.

Hua Qingyu looked at He Tianyao blankly, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

He Tianyao looked left and right, and the room was empty. So he gathered his spiritual power to his fingertips, condensed his sword, and wrote the words on the ground.

Hua Qingyu looked at it and nodded.

He Tianyao wrote again: "What's going on?"

Hua Qingyu got out of bed and leaned over, held He Tianyao's hand and wrote a word - "poison".

Poison!

He Tianyao instantly understood that this was the price that Hua Qingyu had paid to bring down the three enemies with his own strength in the Red Sun Vein dungeon! At this time, he also noticed that Hua Qingyu's left hand had been lost, and his heart ached. "Hua Junmen people are experts in using poison, and when the remaining poisons in the body are cleared, at least the ears and throat can be restored. He comforted himself in his heart.

"The weight is not precise, but it is reckless and reluctant. This is a painful lesson. Chu Yuanhui didn't know when he had come back and stood at the door. He was followed by two children, it was Qin Aoxue and Qin Lingshuang. The two of them each carried a basket, which contained tonic medicines such as ginseng, poria cocos, and Ganoderma lucidum, as well as a few other things that even He Tianyao couldn't name.

As soon as the two saw He Tianyao, they cheered "uncle" in unison, and rushed into his arms with joy. He Tianyao hugged the two little girls tightly, and kept saying: "It's all because my uncle is not good, it's because my uncle didn't take good care of you, let you be kidnapped by bad people, and caused you to suffer so much......" Seeing that the two were safe and sound, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Uncle, we're fine. Are you healed? These days, we have all followed Uncle Chu to the mountains to collect medicine, and brought it back for you and Aunt Qingyu to heal your wounds. Qin Lingshuang said.

"Yes, then Uncle I want to thank you two a lot, thanks to you, Uncle is all right now!" He Tianyao happily carried the two of them on his shoulders and turned around.

"Hehe, because Uncle Chu said that the injuries of the two of you need to be recuperated, we are not allowed to disturb them. Qin Aoxue said, "So in addition to the other time when collecting medicine, Uncle Chu instructed us to exercise and gave us pills to strengthen our bodies!"

"Ah...... yes, that's good......" He Tianyao nodded to Chu Yuanhui while responding, which was barely a thank you.

The corners of Chu Yuanhui's mouth raised slightly: "These two children have excellent qualifications and good hearts. Exercising in advance in advance will help you build a foundation for cultivating immortals in the future. They have taken the pill I personally refined, and as long as they do not slack off in the past two years, they will definitely be able to build a foundation within a year of starting to cultivate immortals. ”

year.

None of the people in the room reacted much. For the two children, they didn't know what "building the foundation" was all about, and of course they didn't know how long it would take the others to complete the first step of cultivating immortals. Hua Qingyu couldn't hear it, so she simply went back to the bed and sat and meditated. And the reason why He Tianyao was not surprised was that it only took him four months

And the foundation was laid.

The indifferent attitude of the whole room made Chu Yuanhui puzzled, and he added: "It takes about two years for the average immortal cultivator to build a foundation. ”

He Tianyao said: "I know. Ordinary disciples are two years, Taiqing Sect disciples are one year and nine months, first-class root disciples are one and a half years, and they have served Zhuji Dan for eight months. Master said this after I ate Tsukidan, and he asked me to build a foundation within half a year. ”

"Oh, even if you eat Tsukidan, the six-month deadline is strict enough. Then how long did it take you to build the foundation later?" Chu Yuanhui asked.

"Brother Tianxiao and I both completed the foundation building in four months. ”

"What?" Chu Yuanhui not only failed to surprise He Tianyao, but was shocked by him. He had long known that the qualifications of the two brothers were by no means ordinary, but he didn't expect them to be so outstanding. He stared at He Tianyao with wide eyes, and sighed in his heart: "If that kid hadn't gone astray to cultivate the Demon Dao, what if he was a descendant of the Sword Demon? I would still take him into my door...... It's a pity, it's a pity...... Brother Jiang was lucky enough to accept a good apprentice...... "In fact, no matter how talented a person is, he must go through hard introductory training at the beginning of cultivating immortals to lay a good foundation for the future." As a master, you have to teach carefully in every detail, and you can imagine the painstaking effort. After the disciple enters the Dao, the higher his realm, the more worry-free the master will be. Don't look at Jiang Chengdong's painstaking guidance of He Tianyao for more than 30 years, it is because of the urgency of time. In fact, his conscientious teaching has always paid off. He Tianyao, who has been molded into a talent, is like a sponge, constantly absorbing "water" from Jiang Chengdong, drawing inferences from one another, touching the analogy, and teaching such a disciple is very relieved. For example, Taiqing Sect has already cultivated a piece of "fertile soil", and Jiang Chengdong can get a "bumper harvest" with a little "sowing". This is also the reason why Chu Yuanhui envies Jiang Chengdong.

"Let's not talk about that. When will Sister Qingyu's residual poison be dissipated?" This is the issue He Tianyao is most concerned about at the moment.

"It's gone. Chu Yuanhui replied.

He Tianyao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then when will her ears and throat recover?"

"Unfortunately, there is no way to recover. Chu Yuanhui explained, "The set of methods she used to deal with the enemy is indeed very subtle, but unfortunately she has not mastered it very well." Although there is no problem with the method, there are flaws in the ratio of various poison ingredients. Although it did not cost him his life, he still paid a price. ”

He Tianyao was stunned for a moment as if he had been struck by lightning, and muttered in his mouth: "I can't recover...... Can't recover...... No, no, there must be some way to heal her!"

"My medical skills have only restored a small amount of her hearing, and it is impossible to restore it. As for the throat, there's really nothing I can do. If I had a friend who might have been able to heal her, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to heal one-ten-thousandth of hers. It's a pity that ...... now," Chu Yuanhui said as he shook his head.

"Sister Qingyu is the descendant of Hua Jun's lineage, her own medical skills are very high, maybe she has a way to heal herself!"

"She's not at that level. Chu Yuanhui said, "Even if I help her recover some of her hearing, she doesn't necessarily know." That's what I learned from that friend who was a skilled doctor. ”

"Could it be that there are people in this world who are more skilled in medicine than the people of Huajunmen?"

Chu Yuanhui smiled faintly: "My friend, counting, should be the ancestor of this Huajunmen person." 'Chaolu Huaying' - Hua Yiqin. ”

He Tianyao was speechless.

"Don't worry too much. Thinking about that Biyou Immortal Sword Ximen Bai, he was born blind. Didn't you also cultivate into a sword immortal in the end?" Chu Yuanhui comforted.

"That's different, Sister Qingyu was originally a good ......" said, He Tianyao suddenly thought of something, "By the way, since Hua Yiqin has a way to treat this poisonous injury, it should be passed down, Sister Qingyu, she must know!"

"I've already asked Transson, and she won't. You must know that the only exercises inherited by Hua Junmai are cultivated with medicine and poison, so that the children of later generations can have a superb level of use of poison and medicine. His medical skills are only naturally possessed after his superb medical skills, and are not directly inherited. ”

He Tianyao sighed regretfully: "Alas, then I have to wait for Sister Qingyu to figure it out by herself...... She is now in the Mahayana realm, maybe when she reaches the realm of tribulation, or after cultivating to the sword immortal, she will suddenly realize and think of a way to heal herself......"

Chu Yuanhui said: "There is no need to be so troublesome. Do you remember that sword fairy in Nightcry Valley?"

"Of course, I remember that Senior Yan was very kind to us. He Tianyao replied, "Do you know him too?"

"Not really. I only heard Hua Yiqin talk about him going to the doctor. It is said that at that time, he was poisoned by the enemy's poison needle and had to cut off one of his legs. Chu Yuanhui's words were only half said.

"I know that. Senior Yan once told us about his early experience. Ah......" He Tianyao was excited, "No! When we met Senior Yan, his legs were obviously healthy!"

Chu Yuanhui smiled "hehe" and said, "Sure enough!"

He Tianyao's eyes widened wider and wider: "Senior Yan didn't mention anything after the transitional tribulation. Could it be ...... Could it be that after the success of the tribulation, he can be reborn and have a severed limb?"

"Maybe. After all, I haven't severed my limbs. ”

"If that's the case, Sister Qingyu's ears and throat will be restored! Her left hand will be regenerated! Great!" He Tianyao's mood became cheerful again.

"But only if the catastrophe is successful. Chu Yuanhui reminded.

He Tianyao was full of confidence: "Except for the master who died in the battle of the fairy and demon, Hua Jun has never been able to cultivate into a sword immortal." Sister Qingyu must be fine!"

Chu Yuanhui nodded.

"I still don't have a problem. Why didn't Biyou Sword Immortal Ximen Bai recover his vision after the Tribulation?"

Chu Yuanhui turned around, raised his hand, and looked at the valley outside the house: "This ...... I don't know. Maybe sometimes, it's better to see with your heart than with your eyes......"
