Su Dazhuang carried Su Lang on his back, watching this scene, and he didn't know what to say. He vaguely thought that these movements might be related to his son.

Looking at the shopkeeper's frightened expression, he couldn't help it, so he told the shopkeeper everything about the evil and promised to compensate for it.

The shopkeeper regained his face slightly. He still looked at the unconscious Su Lang with some horror and asked, "He won't hurt people suddenly, right?"

Su Dazhuang even said no, and then pleaded: "Can you give my father and son a place to spend the night?" ”

The shopkeeper's face was tangled together. After hesitating for a long time, he spoke: "There is a firewood room in the backyard, and the two of you will deal with it there for a night." ”

Su Dazhuang thanked him gratefully. So the old man stood up tremblingly and said, "Let me lead the way." ”

The shopkeeper watched the three of them leave, and said softly: "It's also a hard worker." He returned to the backroom and instructed Xiao Er: "Send some hot soup and meals to the two men in the firewood room in the backyard, and don't charge money." ”

Su Dazhuang followed the old man who was guarding the door and walked on the path.

The old man said: "I heard from some guests that there is an alchemist in the west of the county recently, and there are many miracles. ”

"Alchemist?" Su Dazhuang was a little puzzled.

"yes. I heard that the alchemist refines the elixir for the immortals", the old man smacked his lips: "In my life, I have never seen an immortal." It is also said that our place is not peaceful, and the immortals do not want to come. It's only occasionally an alchemist who comes to find some herbs. ”

Su Dazhuang listened carefully.

"That alchemist may be able to cure this afterlife. ”

As he spoke, the old man opened the door of the firewood room and left.

"I'm going to try my luck tomorrow. Su Dazhuang thought.

Nothing was said all night.

——————

There is a torii at the west end of the county. This archway is made of cyan tea garden stone, and its upper ridge, kiss, and bucket arch should be there.

The stone workshop is carved with the fish leaping dragon gate, the crane auspicious clouds, etc., and the fang text praises the master a hundred years ago to purify the world with great merit and punish the evil spirits.

At this moment, the sky is slightly bright. There is a person standing under the archway. This person was wearing a cyan robe, his sideburns were slightly white, and there was a hidden fragrance of medicine on his body. It was the alchemist.

He seemed to be confident about everything and waited quietly until Su Dazhuang appeared in sight with Su Lang on his back.

So he said, "I know what's going on." This sub-consciousness was affected by evil energy, so it was closed in order to protect itself. In the past two days, I should have been able to listen but not speak. ”

Su Dazhuang didn't care about marveling at the alchemist's clever calculations, and asked anxiously: "Then look, this ......"

The alchemist waved his hand and said, "I can naturally heal him." It's just that I have conditions. He wants to worship me as a teacher, and he will leave, and you will not see each other again in this life. ”

Su Dazhuang suddenly remembered what Qing Yanzi said eight years ago - Su Lang's fate has the meaning of separation, and there will be many twists and turns in the future.

Still can't escape this result...... He smiled reluctantly, his eyes moistened a little, and said in a low voice, "Everything is up to you." ”

The alchemist took Su Lang and fed him a pill the size of a dragon's eye into his mouth.

Yu Guang glanced at Su Dazhuang's anxious appearance, and he said lightly: "This pill is called Rejuvenation Pill, which melts in the mouth and can cure all kinds of diseases. The body of a mere mortal is not enough to worry about. ”

Not long after the words fell, Su Lang had already woken up. As the alchemist said, although he couldn't move, he could clearly hear what had happened in the past two days, and his heart was sad, and tears flowed down his face.

Su Dazhuang patted his son's shoulder and choked up: "Lang'er, follow the master to learn skills in the future." Don't worry about things at home, everything is with me. ”

Su Lang nodded vigorously. He is quiet and not good at expressing emotions. At this moment, he was full of thoughts, and he didn't say anything, just crying wordlessly.

But he had a hunch that if he didn't say something, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

The alchemist looked up, and the sky was about to brighten. He said, "It's getting late, so let's leave it at that." ”

Su Lang finally spoke: "Father, take care of your body. Tell Ling'er and Mother that I will always miss them. ”

"Good!"

Su Dazhuang raised his head slightly, not letting the tears flow.

Su Lang followed his master, step by step, away from the land that had raised him for eight years. Looking back, my father was still looking at him lonely under the archway, as if he was much older.

Su Lang's vision blurred again. He turned his head frequently until he turned the corner and his father's shadow disappeared over the edge.

The alchemist sighed slightly, as if to attract Su Lang's attention, and said:

"Su Lang, whose name is Cui Jing, is the alchemy elder of the Qingfeng Sect in Dongzhou. From now on, you are the only personal disciple of the Qingfeng Sect's Medicine Refining Valley. ”

"The stars we are in are called broken stars. This star is divided into five places, with the god capital as the center, the east as the eastern state, the west as the western desert, the southern wilderness in the south, and the northern plain in the north. ”

"Baishan County is located in the easternmost part of Dongzhou. Qingfeng Sect is a cultivation sect under Dongzhou, with the ultimate goal of seeking the Tao and asking immortals and seeking immortality. ”

He paused, and continued to speak with some regret: "The path of cultivation is long and obstructive. Starting with refining qi, opening up the sea of suffering, and building the foundation after success, he officially stepped into the road of cultivating immortals. This is also what ordinary mortals call "immortals". ”

"However, it is easier said than done. Master, I have been stagnant at the peak of the bitter sea for many years, and I can't cross the gap between the immortals and mortals, and it will be nothing in the end. ”

Su Lang listened quietly.

Out of the mountain, the front is vast, and there is a boundary monument erected on one side of the road, on which the word "Baishan" is written.

Cui Jing smiled slightly and said, "Baishan County has been strange since ancient times, and it is known as the forbidden land for immortal cultivators. When the immortal family's means come here, they will all lose their effect. It's okay under the foundation, but if the people on the foundation come here and are not honest, something bad will happen. ”

"Out of this Baishan County, as a teacher, I can also show you some means. ”

He gently grabbed Su Lang's shoulders and lightly touched his feet.

Immediately, Su Lang felt the scenery around him quickly recede. Soon, light and shadow are connected into a dazzling line. Su Lang felt that his head was foggy, and only the whirring wind came from his ears.

However, at the moment of incense, the two of them had already arrived at the Qingfeng Sect. Cui Jing steadily placed Su Lang on the flat ground, refreshed, and did not see a trace of fatigue.

Su Lang looked up, only to see that the mountain gate was tall, the white fairy aura was entangled, and the plaque plated with a dark gold border had the word "Qingfeng" written on it, which concealed the mystical implications.

He followed the master into the sect. A gray-clothed disciple on the side saluted respectfully, and then raised his head slightly and peeked at Su Lang behind him, his eyes showing envy.

The staircase in front stretches high and leads to the main hall. Cui Jing didn't plan to go, so he turned straight into a bend and walked dozens of steps, suddenly enlightened.

It is a valley with the fragrance of medicine, and a variety of unknown herbs grow in the middle of it, neatly lined up. In the distance, there is a small courtyard, quietly bathed in the sun.

"This is the Refining Medicine Valley. Cui Jing smiled slightly, and didn't see any movement, and the courtyard door slowly opened.

Su Lang saw that a whole new world had opened its doors to him.

————

Somewhere in the weeds of an inn in Baishan County, the old janitor sneezed and woke up.

"Why did I sleep here?"

The old man scratched his head, as if he had had had a very long dream. In his dream, he saw an immortal he had never seen in his life......
