After Du Ruo drank a bowl of Yunmeng Immortal Brew, she was overwhelmed by the strength of the wine and fell asleep, and when Shui Ruyue took Ximen Yushuang, Shen Xiaoyu and others to carry her to a squatter room in Hanshan Temple, she was still asleep. When she woke up, it was already three poles old, Du Ruo called Brother Tang, but it was Shui Ruyue who came over with Shen Xiaoyu. Shui Ruyue said with a smile: "Sister Du Ruo, Xianggong went up the mountain to collect medicine for you!

Hearing that Brother Tang was not there, Du Ruo's heart immediately became empty, Tang Jiusheng had personally served her these days, and suddenly heard that Brother Tang had gone up the mountain to collect medicine, this huge psychological gap made her a little dazed. Before Tang Jiusheng left, he had already arranged for Shen Xiaoyu to take care of Du Ruo. Anyway, Luoyu Pavilion didn't come to pick up Shen Xiaoyu, she had to be given something to do, so her role was a maid.

Tang Jiusheng and Luoyu Pavilion had already negotiated before, and they would not let Shen Xiaoyu leave until they had dealt with the matter of the Great Xia Swordsman Mission. However, the swordsman envoys of Great Xia had already returned to the north, and her father Shen Wentian did not send someone to negotiate with Tang Jiusheng in exchange for Shen Xiaoyu, but there was no news, and even the entire Luoyu Pavilion reined in its edge. In the past month or two, there has been no news about the Falling Rain Pavilion, as if it never existed.

Shen Xiaoyu had already accepted her fate, and at first she still had great hopes, waiting for her father to send someone to replace her. But as time passed, there was no news from Luoyu Pavilion, and Shen Xiaoyu went from being full of hope, to disappointment, and finally hopeless and desperate. These people around her are all martial arts masters, and she has been sealed again, and she can't escape and fight, what can she do? Occasionally, Shen Xiaoyu would laugh at herself, and then she responded to that sentence, the life of the young lady's body.

At first, Shen Xiaoyu was worried that Tang Jiusheng would take the opportunity to occupy her, but Tang Jiusheng didn't. Shen Xiaoyu thought again, maybe it was because Tang Jiusheng was too busy, after all, he was busy like a little bee all day, flying to the west and then to the east, he really didn't have time to pay attention to her, and it would be difficult to say when he was free. But after a period of contact, Shen Xiaoyu finally understood that Tang Jiusheng was really not interesting to her.

Tang Jiusheng has a lot of warblers and Yanyan around him, but he is a decent gentleman, and he has not coveted her beauty, and Tang Jiusheng's two wives are much more beautiful than her, especially recently there is another Du Ruo. In the past few days, Shen Xiaoyu has seen Tang Jiusheng's warmth to Du Ruo, and then he knows that Tang Jiusheng will also love others, but Tang Jiusheng has never taken her Shen Xiaoyu to heart.

Shen Xiaoyu felt a little aggrieved in her heart again, and began to resent Tang Jiusheng, I am such a beautiful girl, and I was actually ignored by you? But how can Tang Jiusheng know those scenes in her heart? Even if she knows, she can only smile, brother is busy, how can I have time to fall in love with you, the killer lady, is Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang not beautiful enough, or is Miss Du Ruo not gentle enough?

Xiaohanshan Temple vacated two squatter rooms, one was inhabited by Du Ruo, Shen Xiaoyu, Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang and the little girl Zu Qingqiu, and the other was Cheng Zifei, Lu Fangping and Wang Changlong, and the three brothers were responsible for protecting Du Ruo and others. Most of the remaining more than 40 guards lived in tents in front of the temple, and Wang Changlong was in charge of training during the day, and ten people were selected every night to take turns to be on duty at night. The abbot of the temple, Monk Yuanjue, also sent more than a dozen warrior monks to patrol and protect them regularly every day. Everyone was afraid of Zhu Tianba's sudden attack.

At this time, Tang Jiusheng had already entered the depths of Yunmeng Mountain, which was inaccessible to people, carrying the Seven Emotions Sword, dry food, clear water, detoxification pills, Sinan and tools for collecting medicines, and Xiaoqing still followed Tang Jiusheng, hovering in mid-air.

Tang Jiusheng had also met the herb pickers who had come down the mountain twice, and asked them about the possible provenance of herbs such as the Heart Tonifying Bone Herb and the Bright Eye Lotus Lotus. As for the heavenly grass, there is no need to ask, many people don't know it, even if they do, who sees such a baby and doesn't pick it quickly?

Tang Jiusheng was not a professional in collecting herbs, but when he was a child, he and the senior sister and the second senior sister who came to visit the door went to Qifeng Mountain behind the Heyue School Palace to pick herbs twice, and he had a little experience. The hard work paid off, and in the afternoon of the next day, Tang Jiusheng finally found the heart-tonifying bone grass and the poisonous herb on the Anyue Peak of Yunmeng Mountain.

Tang Jiusheng was not discouraged, if the Heavenly Absolute Grass was so easy to find, then it was still called the Heavenly Absolute Grass? The eccentric monk needless to say that he had traveled south and north for so many years, and he had only seen it on Niuer Mountain when he had searched for famous mountains and rivers, but he missed it because the Heavenly Absolute Grass did not bloom. Tang Jiusheng put away the Heart-Replenishing Bone Herb and the Poison Herb, summoned Xiaoqing, tied the herb to its feet, Xiaoqing flapped his wings and sent the herb back to Xiaohanshan Temple.

During the day, you can look for herbs and often encounter mountain peaches

Wild fruits, Tang Jiusheng picked them to fill his stomach, looked for a cave at night or simply rested on the tree, and on the third day, Xiaoqing flew back and caught up with Tang Jiusheng who was climbing the mountain. People and birds are very happy to see each other.

On the fourth day of going up the mountain, the dry food he carried with him had already been eaten, but Tang Jiusheng was not panicked, he still had the Shengli Pill prepared by Brother Xin in his arms, and if he took one pill, he could go without eating all day without feeling hungry. Moreover, there are various wild fruits such as peaches and dates on the mountain, and you can have a full meal when you meet them.

Also, you can catch fish in the mountain stream, and occasionally catch a hare and roast it is also delicious, Tang Jiusheng summoned Xiaoqing from time to time to share food with it. Tang Jiusheng's clothes had already been scraped by the thorns, vines and other plants in the mountains, but he didn't mind, he already knew that this would be the result before entering the mountain.

Poisonous miasma would rise in some valleys, but Tang Jiusheng had long been prepared to understand the poison pill and was not afraid. On the morning of the fifth day, Tang Jiusheng found the herb Golden Poria Cocos. On the sixth day, on the mountainside of the earth's top peak, Tang Jiusheng found another herb, the Bright-eyed Lotus Lotus. The four flavor auxiliary medicines were all ready, and Tang Jiusheng tied the two flavor medicines to Xiao Qing's leg again and asked it to go back to deliver the medicine.

In the Xiaohanshan Temple, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang demonstrated the knife technique for Zu Qingqiu at the door of the dormitory, Shen Xiaoyu carried the blind Du Ruo to the main hall to worship the Buddha, Du Ruo prayed to the Buddha to bless Brother Tang to find the herbs as soon as possible and return safely. Zu Qingqiu smiled and watched the two masters practice knives, and they were watching with relish, an eagle chirp sounded in the sky, and the three of them looked up, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out that Xiaoqing was back again.

Shui Ruyue summoned Xiaoqing to fall, and took off the herbs tied to the eagle's legs, and took Ximen Yushuang and Zu Qingqiu to the meditation room behind the temple to look for the strange monk. After the meditation room, there is a vacant lot, which is vacated by Xiaohanshan Temple for the eccentric monk to refine the elixir. I saw that the strange monk was sitting in front of the Dan furnace with a wine gourd, concentrating on refining the pill, and a small novice next to him was holding a big pu fan to fan the Dan furnace.

Shui Ruyue handed over the golden poria and the bright-eyed lotus to the eccentric monk. The strange monk saw these two herbs, and there was a smile on his face, and now the auxiliary medicines are all available, only the main medicine Tianjue Grass is missing. The strange monk handed over the two flavor adjuvant pills to another little novice and asked him to take them and deal with them, and the little novice agreed, took the two flavor medicines, and rushed back to the meditation room.

The strange monk held the wine gourd, drank a sip of wine, smiled intoxicated, and then put the wine gourd down, and then smiled and teased Zu Qingqiu: "Little girl, do you want to consider learning alchemy with the poor monk? The poor monk has only accepted half of the disciples in Jiangdong Dao, and if he doesn't find someone to continue the mantle, I'm afraid that this alchemy stunt will be lost!"

Zu Qingqiu, who was squatting next to the Dan furnace, shook his head, pouting with a disgusted expression, "Great monk, you make a miasma of black smoke and alchemy every day, and even the dog has been smoked away, so I don't want to learn!" The strange monk looked at Zu Qingqiu with a very hurt expression.

Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang looked at each other, the two laughed, Ximen Yushuang touched Zu Qingqiu's little brain, and smiled, "Silly boy, do you know how famous this great monk is in the martial arts? Many people dare to offend the leader of the martial arts alliance, but they dare not offend this great monk! How many people want to worship him as a teacher, crying and begging him, willing to pay thousands of dollars, he refuses to look at it squarely, and now he wants to take you as an apprentice, and you still dislike him?"

The strange monk nodded and said: "That's it! If the poor monk is willing to accept apprentices, the person who wants to be my apprentice can be ranked from this small Hanshan Temple all the way to Yunmeng County! But they are all blunt, and none of the poor monks can look down on them! The poor monk looks at your little girl's bones Qingqi, but you are a superior candidate to be an apprentice, in fact, your master Tang Jiusheng is not bad, but unfortunately he is a prince, and he has no time to learn alchemy from the poor monk!"

Zu Qingqiu, who had two small mustaches on his head, shook his head and pouted: "If you don't learn or don't learn, alchemy is not fun! Isn't practicing a knife much more fun than alchemy? A knife can kill people, it can kill a lot of bad people, what's the use of alchemy? You can't eat it casually!"

The strange monk raised his head, a smile on his chubby face, and said softly: "Child, the knife can kill people and kill bad people, but the pill can help the world and save people! If you can refine the pill and refine the antidote pill, your master will not have to come all the way to find me and beg me to save your master Du Ruo! It's a pity that the poor monk is neither bad nor a good doctor, and the poor monk only alchemy pills, and the poison that can't be solved by good doctors!"

Zu Qingqiu flashed a pair of big eyes, and said seriously: "Great monk, I suddenly have some respect for you! My master said that he would clean up those vassal kings who wanted to rebel, and when the world was peaceful, he would find a place to live in seclusion and be one."

A hermit, with the teachers and girls to give birth to a bunch of precious sons and daughters. Master also said that in fact, he did not want to be an official, but he was willing to see the world peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Great monk, you and my master are really a little similar!"

This time, it was the turn of the eccentric monk to pout, "Where is your master as handsome as me? Really! Little girl, give me an accurate word, do you want to learn medicine dispensing and alchemy with the poor monk? It's not bragging, the poor monk's alchemy is the best in the world!"

Hearing the strange monk say that he was handsome, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang laughed together, Zu Qingqiu rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Great monk, you are more handsome than my master, it's like letting my master compare alchemy with you! There is no comparison! Well, hearing you talk about the benefits of alchemy, this girl is really a little moved! But if I want to apprentice again, I have to ask my master's consent to do it! After all, I am a teacher for one day and a father for life!"

The strange monk squinted his eyes and laughed, "I don't want to teach you to practice martial arts, but I also need to ask for your master's consent?

Zu Qingqiu looked up at Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang, stretched out his voice, and said coquettishly: "Master Niang, Second Master!"

Shui Ruyue touched Zu Qingqiu's little brain, and smiled warmly, "Little girl, you can just make your own decisions about this! But alchemy is very bitter and boring, you have to be able to endure loneliness! It's not easy to find a good master, you have to cherish it when you encounter it!"

Ximen Yushuang also smiled: "It's rare that this strange monk wants to accept you as an apprentice, it should be good to learn alchemy from him!"

Zu Qingqiu nodded, turned around and said, "Great monk, since my two masters have agreed, then this girl will learn alchemy with you!

The eccentric monk laughed and said, "Okay, good, then you should kowtow and apprentice to the teacher! My monk doesn't like so much red tape, you kowtow, we are the master-apprentice relationship!"

On the side, the little novice who was holding a pu fan to fan the Dan furnace was envious, and secretly said in his heart, this little girl has a really good life, she was originally the apprentice of the prince, and now she worships the strange monk as a teacher! It's just that how did he know that the little girl had no mother at the age of three, and no father at the age of seven. How many things in the world are like this, just seeing the happiness of others, but not knowing that others also have a belly of suffering.

Zu Qingqiu, who was wearing a small blue skirt, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the strange monk, "Master is above, please bow to the apprentice!" Then he said: "In order to separate the big monk from your master, I will call you bald master from today onwards!" Ximen Yushuang and Shui Ruyue smiled back and forth, this child is really naughty!

The strange monk hugged the wine gourd and said happily: "Good boy, get up quickly! From today on, you and I will be masters and apprentices, you can also go and get a pu fan now, and the master will teach you how to fan this Dan furnace first!"

Zu Qingqiu got up from the ground and asked with a surprised expression: "Bald master, you don't teach me alchemy, but teach me how to fan the flames?"

The strange monk held the big wine gourd, raised his head and took a sip of wine, closed his eyes and said slowly: "Child, everything must start from the very basics, just like this alchemy, if you don't master the heat well, how can you refine a good elixir? Don't underestimate these most basic things, everything is done bit by bit, just like building a house first has to lay a foundation!"

Zu Qingqiu nodded as if she didn't understand, in fact, the little girl still had a careful thought, as long as she refined the pill herself, when the master wanted to use the pill in the future, she wouldn't have to ask for others!

In the depths of Yunmeng Mountain, Tang Jiusheng raised his head and looked at the towering Lingyin Peak of Yunmeng Mountain in front of him, a smile appeared on his face. When he washed his face in front of the stream at the foot of the mountain just now, he found that his face was already unshaven, so Tang Jiusheng shaved his beard with the Seven Feelings Sword, washed his face, and caught an unknown fish in the stream.

Tang Jiusheng, who had finished eating the roasted money, sorted out his baggage. Now there are only water bladders, detoxification pills and sinan, and medicine collection tools in the baggage.

Tang Jiusheng said to himself: "It's already the seventh day of going up the mountain, plus the delay on the way over for more than ten days, more than twenty days have passed, and the time of a month is almost up! God, have mercy on me, let me meet the Heavenly Absolute Grass here, and save my sister Du Ruo!"

Tang Jiusheng raised his head and looked at Lingyin Peak, and smiled, "Heavenly Absolute Grass, Heavenly Absolute Grass, only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where!"
