"Mulberry flowers and stars, the lonely sea condenses the moon and rises;

Slowly rolling up the bamboo slip in her hand, Qian Ling'er looked at the beating fire in front of the tombstone stupidly, and at this moment, her moving eyes were flashing with a hint of melancholy.

She slowly stretched out her slender jade fingers and lowered the bamboo slip into the firelight. There was a moment of silence, and then there was a cracking sound of burning bamboo strips in the firelight. Qian Ling'er's eyes like autumn water finally came back to her senses. She looked at Master Qian's tombstone, and smiled slightly, and this smile made people feel infinite pity.

I saw Qian Ling'er facing the tombstone and whispered softly: "Grandpa, this poem "On the Water Side" is a new poem written by Yu before he went to Beijing to take the exam, and Ling'er will copy a copy for you." Yu said that this poem implies that the ends of the world are separated by ....... Come to think of it, it should be caused by Yu missing his grandfather... , now Ling'er sings alone, but it is so appropriate......"

Qian Ling'er said but slowly fell silent, her face was gloomy, as if she was missing, sad, or enduring the crystal slipping of the bay... The autumn leaves strayed into the arms of the beautiful woman with the wind, and the beautiful woman sat alone and looked at the empty stele....

Wiping away a teardrop from the corner of her eye, a sweet smile appeared again on her gorgeous jade face.

Xu felt that he was always so sad in front of his grandfather, which would make his old man unhappy.

Qian Ling'er stroked the hair around her ears, looked at the tombstone and smiled lightly: "Grandpa, do you want to knock Ling'er again? Ling'er is actually very strong... It's just that... Why hasn't he come back to visit you for so long?"

Saying that, Qian Ling'er slowly lowered her head and asked in a low voice like a mosquito: "Grandpa, he... Will you be back?"

A gust of wind blew, bringing up the green silk in the ears. Qian Ling'er looked at the mountains, forests and clouds, and the breeze danced in the smoke. The fire is rising in front of him, but people are already sad. Under the silence all around, except for the sound of the wind forest, she never got any answer, only the terrible silence around her, as if she was the only one left in the world!

"Whew!huh~...!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of swaying footsteps behind her! In an instant, Qian Ling'er's surprised eyes flashed and jumped out from her beautiful eyes like jewels.

She turned around expectantly, and at the same time shouted, "Yu!?"

But when she saw the heroic and upright figure in front of her, Qian Ling'er's sweet smile that bloomed like a lotus flower was eroded and annihilated by endless disappointment in an instant!

Looking at Qian Ling'er's slightly shrugged shoulders, although Todd felt pity in his heart, he did not step forward to comfort him. Instead, he stopped a foot away, quietly looking at the weak but lonely strong figure.

Todd laughed to himself, "~Maybe I shouldn't be there at this time." ”

After a moment of silence, Xu is Qian Ling'er has improved a lot. I saw her sleeves twitch her eyes, and then looked back at Todd and smiled apologetically: "Senior brother, are you here to see grandpa?"

Todd nodded, and then slowly stepped forward and knelt in front of the Qian Fuzi Monument. He didn't speak, but took out the money and sacrifices and other things behind him, and placed them one by one in an orderly manner.

When everything was ready, he looked at the tombstone and smiled and teased, "What's the matter?

After speaking, Tao De turned his head to look at Qian Ling'er, who was already speechless, and then pretended to be displeased: "I'm a senior brother, and I can come whenever I want." You... It's useless for you to glare at me...... ”

Seeing Qian Ling'er's phoenix eyes glaring at him fiercely, Tao De's heart trembled, and he panicked instantly! While looking around, he didn't forget to reach out and scratch the back of his head, and then pretended to be nothing, turned around and picked up the dark money, and put it into the flames that were about to be extinguished...

Seeing that Tao De, who was still arrogant just now, instantly confessed, Qian Ling'er inevitably said a little proudly: "Senior brother has not been out for a few years, and he has not seen much progress in other skills, but this mouth is about to catch up with Yu ......."

When she inadvertently mentioned Luo Yu, her voice slowly weakened again. Seeing this, Todd wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a long time and was stunned for a while, but he didn't squeeze out a word, but he almost suffocated himself!

Until the end, Qian Ling'er found Todd embarrassed and smiled slightly to divert the topic. Then the two mentioned the past, and just sat in front of the master's tomb and recounted the past. From time to time, Todd also talked about what he had lost after three years of training abroad.

As he spoke, he reached into his arms, carefully took out a triangular cube of one inch in size and said, "Senior sister, this is something that my brother got by chance when he was in White Emperor City...!"

Seeing that Todd took out this thing so carefully, Qian Ling'er quickly reached out and grabbed it, holding it in his hand and looking at it. At the same time, he didn't forget to peek at Todd, who was looking nervous at the moment.

Seeing this, she said disdainfully: "A broken stone, look at the ,... that makes you nervous Ahh

As she was talking, Qian Ling'er suddenly screamed! The stone in her hand had fallen to the ground. When she looked at the faintly stinging fingers and the little red on the fingertips, she felt a sense of unease in her heart for no reason.

At this time, Todd rushed forward with a shocked and anxious face: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?"

Before Todd could see it, Qian Ling'er felt a tingling sensation between his fingers, which was slowly subsiding! The already small wound disappeared as if it had never existed before!

Qian Ling'er was puzzled in her heart, her eyebrows condensed slightly, she shook her head and guessed: "Maybe this small stone is rough and accidentally stabbed, senior brother rest assured, there is no big problem." ”

Seeing that Qian Ling'er's jade hand was as usual, Todd relieved himself, and then he picked up the small stone that fell to the ground, held it in his hand and said apologetically: "It's best to be safe, it's all because my brother is reckless and inconsiderate." However, I can use it as a talisman, and I have been a brother for many years, but it has turned evil into good fortune, even if it is the end of the earth, you can go there... ”

Looking at Todd with an exaggerated face, Qian Ling'er's pretty face turned on a board, and she snorted and said with a disdainful face: "What's the big deal? It's not just a rough broken stone, and only you are a treasure." There is also a side stone bracelet, which is rough and uncarved... ”

When Todd heard this, he smiled and said, "How can a pair of stone bracelets be compared to this 'talisman' for my brother?"

Todd said as he carefully tucked the stone into his bosom and said no more about it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it will set.

At this time, Tao De looked at the sky, as if he had decided something, then turned to look at Qian Ling'er, and said seriously: "Senior sister, I want to return to China for my brother." ”

Qian Ling'er didn't seem to be surprised, she only smiled slightly and encouraged: "Senior brother is now a minister, since he should use what he has learned all his life to dedicate to the king's family, Ling'er wishes senior brother a bright future!"

Listening to Qian Ling'er's words of blessing, he smiled: "Senior sister, you know, for a brother is not as good as a junior brother can speak well, but there are still some things to say." ... My Todd has today's achievements, all of which are given by teachers. If there is no teacher to teach him, Todd would be just a pawn of a peddler, doing nothing all day long, and this grace is like rebuilding. Now, the whereabouts of my junior brother are unknown, and I don't know whether I live or die, and I, the senior brother, am to blame. ”

Qian Ling'er saw that Todd's words and deeds were full of self-reproach when he talked about Luo Yu, so she was relieved: "Senior brother, I can't blame you..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tao De stretching out his hand and smiling: "Senior sister, listen to me, today I, Tao De, will make a word in front of the teacher." Taking the heart of heaven and earth as a mirror, and the junior sister as a witness, Tao De will find his junior brother in this life, as a teacher, and as a worthy of his own heart and worthy of my three-person affection. ”

Seeing that Todd said such solemn words lightly, Qian Ling'er was moved in her heart. Such a statement is equivalent to an oath, but it is very unfair to the senior brother in this way. Thinking of this, Qian Linger was about to dissuade her.

But today's Todd is no longer the Todd of the past, seeing Ling'er's eyes flashing. He knew what Qian Ling'er was thinking, and categorically stopped: "Senior sister doesn't need to say anything,... Some things don't necessarily have to be done if you like them, but they are responsibilities, not to mention that you and Xiao Yu are my dearest people. In Todd's heart, one of you is my little sister and the other is my little brother, and it is my duty as a brother to protect and take care of you. ”

Qian Ling'er knew that Senior Brother Tao had a slightly introverted and loyal personality, and compared to Luo Yu, he was indeed not good at speaking. But if he makes a decision, no one can change it. Just as he decided to walk out of Peach Blossom Village without hesitation, no matter how much Tao Bo dissuaded him, it was useless.

Thinking of this, she no longer discouraged. However, in her heart, looking for Luo Yu was her business, but she couldn't let her senior brother bear it alone.

I saw her grateful: "Since the senior brother has decided, the little sister will no longer stop it, but this is not a matter for the senior brother alone." ”

Looking at Qian Ling'er, who also looked firm, Todd naturally understood that she didn't want to stay out of the matter.

However, he already had some plans for the future, so he nodded and said: "Because of this, my brother decided to return to the national capital as soon as possible." ”

When Qian Ling'er heard this, she immediately asked with a puzzled face, "What does Senior Brother mean?"

Tao De had expected her to ask such a question, so he motioned to Qian Ling'er to calm down and said: "Although my king is not allowed to investigate this case thoroughly, he has already taken measures for his brother, and my sister will listen to me one by one." For now, that's all it takes... So... So....... ”

As Tao De came out with the strategies in his heart, Qian Ling'er first raised her eyebrows, then slowly evacuated, and finally her eyes became more and more determined, and then nodded silently...

Early the next morning.

Todd and his family left Peach Blossom Village, but what people didn't expect was that Qian Ling'er also went with him! What was left behind was a bay of clear water and lotus pond at the autumn equinox, and a quiet small building. Perhaps, only the unlocked wooden door and a pair of brand-new bamboo slips on the table in the hall seem to tell the heart of a beautiful woman.

........

The outer room of the Five Elements Sect, inside the small bamboo house.

The early morning sun shines through the layers of clouds and mist on the window lattice, and the dots are mottled and dyed with each other. Chenhui gently stroked the young man who was sitting cross-legged, his skin as smooth as warm jade. When the light slowly moved towards his eyes, Luo Yu slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.

He looked down at the Qi Gathering Scroll that was spreading out in front of him, and slowly picked it up and held it tightly in his hand. His sword-like eyebrows grew tighter and tighter until they trembled.

Looking up at the already yellowed leaves outside the window lattice, Luo Yu exhaled a depressed breath: "The autumn equinox has arrived in an instant, and I have spent a month in vain, but now I haven't even stepped into the first layer of qi refining! ”

In fact, Luo Yu also knew that his qualifications were not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad! He had been cultivating day and night for a month, and he was even three points slower than a snail! If he really continued like this, let alone become an immortal, even if he stepped into this small qi refining period, it was estimated that it would depend on whether God was happy or not.

Looking out the window, at the turbulent sky, Luo Yu regretted: "It's a pity that Sect Master Xiao's cultivation technique was lost, if there was this exercise, it would have already broken through." I heard that Sect Master Xiao's cultivation techniques were as if they were tailor-made for the Five Spirit Miscellaneous Roots, and the cultivation speed was far superior to the likes of Heavenly Spirit Roots. I really don't know, what kind of exercise is that?"

After a moment of melancholy, Luo Yuqiang adjusted his mood and sat down again. In the past nearly a month, he has become familiar with this Qi Gathering Sutra in his chest, and he has memorized it like a stream! However, his cultivation is really different from reading books in the past, and it is not that you can read a book a hundred times and realize its meaning. His congenital qualifications are too poor, and now his hard work is just a drop in the bucket, and he has gained little.

However, it was not all without gains, and he had also learned a lot of cultivation knowledge during these days, just as the most important thing in this cultivation was aura. If you don't have aura, no matter how good your qualifications and understanding are, you won't be able to cultivate.

And the so-called aura is the various elemental spirits that pervade this world. Elemental spirits are divided into: gold elemental spirit, wood elemental spirit, water elemental spirit, fire elemental spirit, earth elemental spirit, the five main elemental spirits, and the wind elemental spirit, thunder elemental spirit, and ice elemental spirit. And these eight elemental spirits are all around us, collectively known as Reiki.

Although Reiki cannot be seen with the naked eye, it does exist. And Qi refining is to inhale these different spiritual qi into the body through the method of correct breathing and inhaling the breath, and run the small Zhou Tian...

Although this process seems simple, it actually requires refining the aura, removing impurities, and then merging the refined pure aura into the dantian. And once the aura enters the dantian, it will be stored and absorbed and converted into true spiritual power.

When the dantian reserves enough pure true spiritual power, it can try to break through the realm barrier and form a cyclone like a whirlpool. And as soon as this cyclone is completed, it is equivalent to stepping into the Qi refining period and becoming a true cultivator.

In addition, the quality of the spiritual root also determines the speed of cultivation. Among them, the extremely rare Heavenly Spirit Root is the best, and the cultivation speed is also the fastest, and breaking through the Innocent Pill does not need the assistance of the Innocent Pill, you can break through the barrier and enter the Innocent Period by yourself, and even when condensing the stars, it will be much smoother than others!

Moreover, the cultivation speed of the dual spirit root and the triple spirit root is also good. Those who exceed the three spirit roots are called pseudo-spirit roots or miscellaneous spirit roots, but their cultivation speed is extremely slow. And the vast majority of mortals do not possess the spiritual root physique, after all, those who can have cultivation qualifications still occupy an absolute minority.

The alien spirit root mentioned earlier is the three-attribute spirit root of wind, ice, and thunder. The alien spirit root is even rarer than the heavenly spirit root, and every alien spirit that appears in this mountain and sea cultivation realm, as long as it does not die halfway, is basically destined to become a strong man on the side of the megatron and the hope of the sect's prosperity.

Of course, Luo Yu has also heard of some special physiques, but they are only legendary existences, and they have nothing to do with him, because he is just a five-spirit miscellaneous root, the bottom existence of the miscellaneous spirit root!

Elder Liu also said euphemistically that if there was no adventure, he would be the worst spiritual root. Luo Yu understood that Elder Liu was referring to Sect Master Xiao's cultivation technique "Five Elements Open Heaven Sutra", but the exercise method had been lost for nearly a thousand years, so how easy was it to find? If it was so easy to find, it was estimated that those powerful elders and sect masters in the sect would have already found it, and they would have to wait until he, a rookie, came to find it?

Although the situation seemed to be unfavorable to him, Luo Yu did not give up because of this.

I have to say that Xiao Zaitian has a great influence on him, maybe because they are all five spirits. He believes that God rewards hard work, as long as he works hard, there will always be a day when the clouds will open and see the day.
