Zhang Daoling stood on the canopy of the tree, shining under the moonlight, stepping on the earth of the world, with clouds on the horizon of his head, and the whole person was like a fairy in the sky, hanging down from the sky, overlooking the world. With a grasp of the void in his right hand, a purple long sword appeared out of thin air, the hilt of the long sword was as white as white jade, the purple of the sword body emitted a leisurely light, and the sword body was engraved with complex golden stripes, like the stars in the purple night sky, and the Milky Way was draped.

Zhang Daoling wiped the sword with two fingers in his left hand, and recited the mantra while wiping his mouth. When the sword was wiped from beginning to end, the mantra was over, and the purple sword qi on the sword body rose into the sky, shining brightly.

It was another mantra, and the wisps of moonlight were clearly and visibly poured into this sword qi, and the sword qi collected the moonlight of heaven and earth and continued to grow.

The moon is yin, and the sun is yang. Collecting the moon on the day of extreme yin is to practice things from heaven and earth to yin, and to seize the origin of yin from this heaven and earth. You must know that the birth of this Yin Origin is extremely slow, and it is possible to make up for it by collecting it once and next time it is a few Jiazi, so it can be said that collecting a little less in one place. Moreover, these things are not something that anyone can contaminate, and if their own cultivation is not enough, whatever collects yin and yang qi is a stupid thing that damages yang longevity and consumes cultivation.

This process lasted for a long time, and it only stopped when this sword qi grew from the thickness of an arm to the same size as the Heavenly Cave Lou. Zhang Daoling wiped the sword again, and recited the mantra again, but this time it was from the end of the sword to the sword body, and the sword was wiped from back to front, and the mantra in the mouth was also recited upside down, and the sword qi where the fingertips were wiped was included in the sword body and dimmed, and when it was wiped on the head, the entire sword also lost its luster, and it looked mediocre. It's just that the golden lines on it are more vivid and clearer.

Zhang Daoling jumped up and fell, falling into the ground. Seeing Zhang Yuanyi and the big insect looking at each other tirelessly, he walked over, patted Zhang Yuanyi's head gently, and said, "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Yuanyi said with a serious face, "Master, I'm thinking about whether to eat something bad tonight, how about tiger meat, the tiger has strong muscles, and it is the most suitable for stewing." The meat is absolutely firm. ”

The big insect was terrified when he heard this, and finally stopped looking at Zhang Yuanyi with a vicious look, but had some begging for mercy in it.

Zhang Daoling sneered when he heard this, and said: "I know how to eat all day long, and I haven't seen you practice so hard." ”

The big worm was relieved.

"But I always eat some water, and occasionally I can't eat some running on the road. Zhang Daoling said again.

The big worm instantly tenses the nerves!

Zhang Daoling saw the big insect like this and teased: "Forget it, I'm joking with you, and the king of beasts, just like this, I will bully the soft and fear the hard." ”

After that, he said to Zhang Yuanyi: "It's time to get down to business." ”

The two faced Xuanyuan Bai, Zhang Daoling took out a small emerald green bottle from his cuff, opened the bottle, and Zhang Yuan smelled the refreshing aroma wafting out of it. And the big insect in the distance suddenly went crazy, drooling, looking at the bottle greedily, scratching its claws like crazy as if it had lost its mind, and even gave up its life, and wanted to struggle out of this hand and take away this bottle of things.

In the end, it was Zhang Daoling who slapped the big insect awakely, although the temptation was great, but after all, there was no life to enjoy.

A drop of the same emerald green liquid dripped out of the emerald green bottle, and dripped into the roots of the Xuanyuan cypress, Zhang Daoling pulled Zhang Yuan's hind legs a few feet away, and just after they retreated, suddenly the Xuanyuan cypress reacted violently, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. From the original thickness of the arms of five people, it continued to widen outward, six people thick, seven people thick, and it was not until ten people thick that the momentum stopped. What's even more amazing is that in the process of growing up, the whole tree changes color from the trunk to the leaves, first purple, then cyan, blue, green, yellow, orange, and finally red before stopping. The whole tree is as red as blood, and it is so rich that it seems to be able to squeeze out water, and it is very gorgeous. And on this tree, the little blood-colored fruits hung and crumbled.

Zhang Daoling seemed to be dissatisfied when he saw this, and dropped another drop, and in an instant, Xuanyuan Bai bloomed with seven-colored light, illuminating a piece of heaven and earth, and the mountain beasts were excited and roaring, and even the entire Tiger Mountain was illuminated and shining, like a sacred mountain. Bathing in it is like a fairyland, the so-called palace spring is deep, and the pavilions and pavilions are nothing more than that!

Zhang Daoling waved his hand, and all these meteorologies were enclosed within a radius of several zhang.

The fruit on the tree also sparkled and shook like small lanterns.

Zhang Daoling took out a small bag, which was only the size of a palm, handed it to Zhang Yuanyi and said, "You take this bag and open it." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan heard Zhang Daoling's words, he opened the bag, only to see Zhang Daoling's fingertips drawing several streamers towards the sky, and fruits kept falling on Xuanyuan cypress, and they were pulled by his fingers, and the falling fruits flew into the bag in a steady stream. Strange to say, the fruits were the size of a fist, barely enough to fit into the bag, but so many fruits had no tendency to fill the bag at all, as if the bag was a gate, and everything that entered was sent to another place, and the weight was not even felt.

Zhang Yuanyi looked at this scene in amazement and felt very magical, Xu Yifan, the water ghost, he didn't feel surprised, and he didn't have any surprises when the master and Zhang Shi knew how to spell, even if it was a tiger the size of a hill and a colorful sacred tree, he didn't think it was a big deal, but this palm-sized bag could hold countless things, which made him feel very interesting.

He has always had a worry about what to do if he can't put too many things on his body, although he has his own vegetable basket and a small bookbox sent by the master, but these things are barely enough to put his own things now, not to mention that there will be more and more things in the future, and what will he take?

It was only after about a cup of tea that the fruit was harvested.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked the master, and before he could open his mouth, Zhang Daoling knew what Zhang Yuanyi wanted to ask and replied first: "This is called the Qiankun bag, and it is our magic weapon." ”

Zhang Yuan was curious when he heard this, and asked, "Daomen?"

Zhang Daoling touched Zhang Yuanyi's head and said, "Yes! Confucianism is a precept ruler, and Buddhism is a meson." Different sects are not the same, but in general, these three, the other sects have the ability to build their own accommodations, they are all famous and surnamed in the rivers and lakes, but the functions are almost the same, they are all used to hold things, of course, there is an upper limit, there is a lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade. The top grade can accommodate the most, even the mountains. ”

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't believe that there was something that could fit a mountain.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanyi was rarely so interested in a thing, Zhang Daoling said a little more, "There is also the ability to open up the void after the cultivation reaches a certain level, and the size of the cultivation depends purely on how well a person's cultivation is." But that's too far away for you, so let's not talk about it yet. ”

"Has the master reached that realm?" Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked.

Zhang Daoling smiled and said nothing, Zhang Yuanyi was embarrassed that the master had not reached that realm. Come to think of it, if you reach that realm, how can you still use Qiankun bags to pack things?

What Zhang Yuanyi didn't know was that Zhang Daoling still had a situation that he didn't say, that is, after cultivating to a certain level, the monk could open up a small world by himself, and the small world was like another world, which was more ethereal and mysterious than the so-called void. As for why the Qiankun bag was used, because this thing was originally given to Zhang Yuanyi by Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Daoling took the Qiankun bag from Zhang Yuanyi, took out three fruits from it, and threw two to the big insect, "I've rewarded you!"

The big insect is not polite, and spit it in his mouth in two mouthfuls, not in a hurry to refine it first, and wait until it finds a good time to refine. This kind of natural treasure, if the refining is improper, the effect will be greatly reduced. In his heart, he still recognized Zhang Daoling, at least robbed him of his things, and left him two Xuanyuan fruits, which can speed up his cultivation for many years.

After that, the big worm didn't think so, and even wanted to pick Zhang Daoling's skin and drink Zhang Daoling's blood.

I saw Zhang Daoling put his fingers together, and swiped lightly at Xuanyuan Bai in front of him, the entire Xuanyuan Bai was cut off by the waist, and he fell down in response, Zhang Daoling took out a Qiankun bag and included Xuanyuan Bai in it. The huge Xuanyuan cypress is now left with only one stump.

The big worm looked sluggish, wanted to cry without tears, and his old book was all gone.

Zhang Daoling planted the remaining Xuanyuan fruit next to the Xuanyuan stake and said, "Grow up quickly, no one will bother you now." ”

"Let's go, boy. Then he left with Zhang Yuanyi in a dashing manner.

When Zhang Daoling walked away, the spell naturally dissipated, and the big insect hurriedly ran to the side of the tree stump and whimpered in a low voice, grief-stricken!

Zhang Daoling touched his nose, and then pretended to be calm, pretending not to see it.

The purpose of this trip is threefold, one is to grab the moon spirit to nourish it, the other is to pick the Xuanyuan fruit for Zhang Yuanyi's alchemy, and the most important thing is to cut off the Xuanyuan cypress to refine the essence of the wood refiner.

As for the refining thing, it was the peachwood sword that Zhang Daoling gave Zhang Yuanyi.

Zhang Daoling had a total of two swords, one was given to Zhang Yuan, one was called "Jiang Han", and the other was the purple long sword "Qingmeng". And each sword has the special features of each sword, and it can be regarded as the best among swords. If there is a so-called famous sword list, these two swords must be on the list, and they are destined to be not low.

After the master and apprentice returned home, Zhang Daoling first borrowed the Jiang Han, and then went to the inner room to refine the weapon. Before entering the door, he also instructed Zhang Yuan to practice and work harder one by one, and then closed the door.

Zhang Yuan had nothing to do, so he ran to the town to hang out alone.

At the beginning of the moonlight, as light as a plain clothes, Zhang Yuanyi walked alone on the street, looking at the dark sky, a round of crescent moon emitted a faint silver light, and there was no cloud and mist to cover it so it appeared brighter and brighter, which was rare in the past. In the distance, rows of red-tiled brick houses were neatly scattered on both sides of the street, all the lights had been extinguished, and the silver moonlight was reflected on the green tiles of the brick houses, one after another sparkling, and the sky became gloomy in such light.

Zhang Yuanyi lowered his head, kicked a small stone, stopped and stopped, and was a little depressed.

The master asked him to practice with his heart, but Zhang Yuanyi has always been attentive and single-minded, which is exactly how he can learn everything and make rapid progress. Zhang Yuanyi never doubted that there was anything he couldn't learn, but he was really unsure about the matter of cultivation, and even began to doubt that he was not that material.

Zhang Yuan turned over and over again more than a hundred times, but he never found the trick and never found a way. It's been almost a year since he practiced, and it's not as effective as his daily running and exercising, and he's depressed. Fortunately, he believed that the master would not fool him, and he kept practicing every day, otherwise he really didn't want to continue at all.

Because of this, Zhang Yuan was often lightly scolded by his master for a while, and he didn't need to work hard to practice, and he thought too much carefully.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yuanyi was even more angry, and the little pebble was kicked by him and just flew towards the Candle River.

"Oops!" a scream came from the river, "Zhang Yuanyi, did you mean it, my aunt and grandmother's head was stoned twice for you." ”

It was Miss Xu Yifan, Miss Xu Yifan's head was just smashed by a stone at this time, and she puffed up a big bag, she covered her forehead with one hand and pointed at Zhang Yuanyi with the other, and her mouth was full of grief.

Zhang Yuan looked embarrassed, and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just a coincidence." ”

Xu Yifan snorted, saw that Zhang Yuanyi was in a bad mood today, and said, "Forget it, Miss Ben is in a good mood today, so I won't worry about you." ”

Zhang Yuanyi was grateful and said: "Yifan girl is not only good-looking, but also kind to the Bodhisattva in her heart, and she will definitely become a beloved god of water and soil in the future, and the incense is continuous." ”

Xu Yifan raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Flim tongue, the most unreliable thing for you mortals is this mouth." ”

Scolding and scolding, but there is joy in the eyebrows and eyes, and the stars are shining!

"By the way, why are you here?" asked Zhang Yuanyi.

"You forgot, I come and go freely in this candle water Hanoi. Xu Yifan replied.

What she didn't say was that she had been following Zhang Yuanyi for a long time, and when she saw that he was in a bad mood, she didn't bother him, just silently watched him in the water, from Persimmon Lane to Osmanthus Lane.

Osmanthus Lane! Oops! Xu Yifan hurriedly dived into the water.

"What a couple of little couples who don't have long eyes, what kind of noise in the middle of the night, disturbing other people's sleep!" In the house next to it, the light suddenly turned on, and someone scolded inside!

Zhang Yuanyi also remembered that this was Osmanthus Lane in a residential area, and he ran away.

When the man poked his head out to investigate, he saw only a young man who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, running into the distance. After scolding again, he blew out the light and went back to sleep.

Zhang Yuanyi ran along the Candlewater River from Osmanthus Lane to Persimmon Lane before stopping. Xu Yifan was sitting on a stone slab by the Candle River, her two white and slender jade legs slowly swaying in the water, making ripples, she had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Yuanyi also took off his shoes, sat on the stone slab, and learned Xu Yifan to drink water. Neither of them spoke, looking at the flowing water, the moonlight shining on the rippled and fine water, like a layer of shining broken silver on the surface of the water, and like a crumpled green forge. The bright moon broke and round in the water, round and broken. The shadow is silent, and the night is gentle.

Xu Yifan took the lead in breaking the tranquility and asked: "Why don't you look so happy today, do you have anything on your mind, if you don't mind, let's hear it." ”

Zhang Yuan told all the reasons one by one.

Xu Yifan was so angry that he kicked his legs in the water violently, and his warm and white legs knocked a large piece of flowing water away, shining in the moonlight.

"This Zhang Mu, it's a big fart, it's so strict!" Xu Yifan said angrily. Of course, this Zhang Mutou is talking about Zhang Daoling.

Zhang Yuanyi hurriedly put his index finger in front of his mouth, "Shhhh ”

"Cut!" Xu Yifan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly, but he didn't say anything bad about that Dao Ling.

"Yifan, how did you cultivate?" Zhang Yuanyi asked curiously.

"Me?" Xu Yifan pointed to himself, "I don't practice much, I just swim around in the water every day, and if there is a moon at night, just take a little moonlight, just like this." ”

I saw Xu Yifan's index finger and thumb pinching the moon, and a trace of silver shining and cold white silk thread was pinched in her hand, like silk fluttering in the wind. Xu Yifan ate it like candy.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Zhang Yuan was speechless for a while, thinking of his hard work of getting up early and greedy for darkness every day, he was even more angry, and quickly changed the topic, "Yifan, you won't send me fish tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" Xu Yifan's eyes widened and he was puzzled, "Why?"

You must know that since the first time Zhang Yuan took a fish, Zhang Yuanyi will come to her every day to get fish, she doesn't care anyway, there are many fish in the Candle Water River, from the beginning of the whitebait, after the old woman's illness was cured, she changed the tricks to Zhang Yuanyi, carp, crucian carp, grass carp, and even river crab and river shrimp, it can be said that Zhang Yuanyi, a specialty in the Candle River, has eaten it all, and today suddenly said not to bring it, she was a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Yuanyi explained: "The master said that he was tired of swimming in the water every day, and he wanted to eat something running on the ground. So don't look for you for fish for the time being, and then look for you later. ”

It's Zhang Mu again, it's really a lot of, so let's just change the name to Zhang Stinky Fart in the future. Xu Yifan scolded inwardly.

Zhang Daoling was refining things in the room, when he suddenly sneezed, and said with a smile: "You little demon, you are really bold." ”

But scolding and scolding, Xu Yifan still pretended to be indifferent on the surface, and said lightly: "Okay, anyway, I catch fish for you every day, and I'm tired." ”

Zhang Yuanyi didn't say anything, and continued to use his feet to dip in the water, and some small fish were gently pecking at the soles of his feet, which was very interesting.

Xu Yifan looked at Zhang Yuanyi's big feet and asked, "Zhang Yuanyi, how old are you this year?"

Zhang Yuanyi was asked suddenly, scratched his head and said, "I really don't know." ”

This is the truth, Zhang Yuanyi has no parents, and he doesn't know anything about age.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Zhang Yuanyi asked, turning his head.

Xu Yifan glanced at Zhang Yuanyi and said: "I just think it's too strange to see you grow two feet tall a year, if you continue to grow like this, maybe in a few years, you will really become a man who stands up to the sky." ”

Of course, the top of the sky and the earth here is literally the meaning of the head and the feet of the ground.

It's no wonder that Xu Yifan asked this, Zhang Yuan has only been in the town for a year and a half, a year and a half ago he was still a big brother looking at an eleven or twelve-year-old child, half a year later the old woman looked at thirteen or fourteen years old, and after another year, he already looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man. It can be said that the town has witnessed the rapid growth of Zhang Yuanyi from a child.

Xu Yifan patted Zhang Yuanyi's head, "Before you have surpassed me, hurry up and bully me!"

While patting, he said: "Zhang Yuanyi, Zhang Yuanyi, grow slowly, your master can't afford to grow too fast." ”

Zhang Yuan patted Xu Yifan's hand and said, "Come less, my master is rich, but you haven't said how old you are this year." ”

Xu Yifan ignored Zhang Yuanyi, teased the little fish in the river with his foot, and said, "Where can you ask the girl's age casually." ”

"Cut!" Zhang Yuanyi was very disdainful, "If you don't say it, you won't say it!"

also learned Xu Yifan to tease fish.

Zhang Yuanyi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Yifan, how did you become a water ghost?"

The two have known each other for so long, although Zhang Yuanyi has always wanted to ask, but because of his feelings, he has never asked this question.

Xu Yifan seemed to have fallen into a painful memory, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were lowered, and he even stopped paddling and teasing the fish on his feet.

As soon as Zhang Yuan saw her like this, he hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I'll just ask casually." ”

Xu Yifan soothed his brows, smiled slightly, and said as calmly as possible: "It's nothing, it's just that I was pressed by my parents in the water and covered to death." ”

When Xu Yifan was born, her parents' generation was patriarchal and kept punching and kicking her, and finally when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, he killed her and pressed her to death in the water.

So she changed her name to Xu Yifan, just to want to have an ordinary life in her life. You don't have to go through so many things, you don't have to go through so many hardships.

Zhang Yuanyi was speechless, he had no parents, so he didn't know the pain of being killed by his closest relatives, so he didn't even know what to say to comfort.

The two were silent for a long time, and only when the moon climbed into the air did Xu Yifan stand up, jump into the water, and say, "It's not early, you go back to rest early, I want to rest too." ”

Zhang Yuanyi also stood up, patted his ass and said, "Okay, then see you next time." ”

Xu Yifan turned around and was just about to plunge into the water, when Zhang Yuanyi shouted loudly behind him: "I don't know how it was before, but if your parents know that Xu Yifan is so beautiful and kind in his heart, he will definitely regret it, and he will not be able to cultivate this blessing in eight lifetimes." ”

Xu Yifan burst into tears instantly, but he didn't turn around and still swam into the water.

waited until Zhang Yuanyi walked away before poking his head out of the water to look at Zhang Yuanyi's back, and scolded in his heart: "Big fool!"

Looking up at the huge moon again, he suddenly thought of being scolded as a little couple in Osmanthus Lane, and smiled.

I'm in a good mood today, I've never been happier.
