In the wilderness, under the cliffs of the forest, the beasts roared.

On the top of a cliff, there is a cave half a foot high that is covered by vines, and it is difficult to find it if it is not carefully observed in the sky.

A thin boy in the cave was coughing incessantly, his face was pale, and it was difficult to hide his sickness, as if his life was dying.

The boy is Sima Yuan.

He leaned against the cold cave wall, the spiritual power in his body was running rapidly, refining the powerful elixir in his body to repair his injuries, and he said with difficulty,

"Why did Senior Brother Yuan save me?"

That 'foundation building' existence is actually Senior Brother Yuan!

The man with the pestle and sword in front of the cave covered in black did not return to the tunnel,

"If you try to get away with it that day, I will kill you afterwards, and if you do what you are told, I will spare your life. ”

Sima Yuan's face suddenly changed, and his voice was weak, "But the courtyard master ordered you to do this?"

Senior Brother Yuan turned to look at Sima Yuan, "It has nothing to do with her, if you want to kill someone from the Xiao family, I will help you." ”

Sima Yuan realized, although he didn't know what the mysterious courtyard master had with the Xiao family, at least this Senior Brother Yuan in front of him had an enmity with the Xiao family!

He hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Dare to ask why Senior Brother can use Qi refining to contend with the foundation?"

I thought that the other party would be annoyed, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "When you enter the later stage, you will know." ”

didn't get the result, Sima Yuan was half relieved and half disappointed in his heart.

In the other party's opinion, it has not reached the foundation building, and it can temporarily resist the foundation building, perhaps using a special secret method.

Looking at its demeanor, it seems that there is a lot of hidden danger.

Sima Yuan had a little Jiujiu in his heart, no matter what the hidden danger is, if he encounters a strong enemy that cannot be matched, the hidden danger is not small and it is better than falling on the spot.

It seems that in the future, this secret technique must be mastered and prepared.

The Taoist priest surnamed Yuan suddenly said, "Today you killed two people in a row, one is the descendant of the Zhao family, and the other is the Xiao family." ”

Sima Yuan's expression was bitter, since the other party pointed it out, it showed that these two families were not easy to mess with, but since they had already made a move, it was useless to regret it.

He lowered his head and asked, "Senior brother, do you know what the details of these two families are?"

Senior Brother Yuan smiled slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know where my Zijin Courtyard is?"

Sima Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, according to the record of the book "Zijin Courtyard", he replied, "Zijin Yuan is one of the six major forces of my Lingxiu Country, and there are dozens of Qi refining immortals in the gate, including more than 30 disciples in the early and middle stages, five elders in the later stage, and ......one courtyard master in the foundation building period. ”

He suddenly paused, and there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he raised his head and said, "Could it be that my Purple Gold Courtyard is not one?"

Senior Brother Yuan said with a smile, "Yes, although the Zijin Courtyard is one of the six major forces in the Lingxiu Kingdom, it is only one of several other courtyards. ”

Sima Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stared directly at the monk surnamed Yuan.

He smiled and said, "As you can imagine, there is also a Shangzong above the Zijin Courtyard, whose name is Zixiao!"

Sima Yuan muttered to himself, "Zixiao, Zixiao Sect, Zixiao Immortal Sect." I see!"

The monk surnamed Yuan's smile became brighter and brighter, "Now the name of my eldest disciple under the head of Zixiao is Zhao Mengjing, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building more than ten years ago. ”

Sima Yuan suddenly gasped, his expression was shocked, and his expression was terrified and terrified.

The surname Zhao, in the middle of foundation building, was more than ten years ago!

He struggled to get up, pointed to the monk surnamed Yuan, and said with a sad and angry face, "The surname Yuan, you can harm me!!

The monk surnamed Yuan laughed heartily, and the sound of wild laughter shook the cave, and the dust fell in a plow.

Sima Yuan was like a mourner, only to feel that the future was bleak, and there was nothing to love.

The monk surnamed Yuan looked at Sima Yuandi's eyes more and more gentle, and he half shook his head and half smiled,

"I just wanted you to kill Xiao Chengzu enough, but I didn't expect you to be fierce enough to even kill that Zhao Shuang. ”

Sima Yuan's face was full of resentment, "It's my fault, if he jumps out without taking his own initiative, how can the young master take care of him, it's really fucking unlucky." , it's going to disgust me when it's dead. ”

The monk surnamed Yuan smiled slightly, and after glancing at Sima Yuan, "Boy, cultivate hard, otherwise under the anger of that Senior Brother Zhao, not only will you be unable to protect yourself, but even your family relatives will be implicated!"

Sima Yuan was shocked, cold sweat broke out, and when he thought that his own thought would affect Aunt Su, he was full of guilt in his heart.

He clenched his fists and glared angrily, "No, I want to nip this risk in the bud! No matter how bad it is, I must not affect Aunt Su and them!"

After a period of uncertainty on Sima Yuan's face, he suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Now that I have killed the people surnamed Zhao and become mortal enemies of the Zhao family, I guess the senior brother is ready to deal with the junior brother, right?"

The monk surnamed Yuan said lightly, "You think too much, since the courtyard master dares to let you kill, how can there be no backhand? Even if the courtyard master can't protect you, there are people in the upper sect who stumble on him." ”

Sima Yuan glanced at the monk surnamed Yuan, and after a moment of silence, he said astringently, "But the sect faction dispute?"

The monk surnamed Yuan sighed lightly, waved his hand and said, "This is not something you should care about, what you do is to do things for the master of the courtyard with peace of mind." ”

Sima Yuan raised his head and said, "Build a foundation with qi refining and contend with it, and it is possible to cultivate that secret method with the younger brother's cultivation now?"

The monk surnamed Yuan said lightly, "At least in the late stage of qi refining."

Sima Yuan immediately smiled bitterly, "In the late stage of qi refining, I don't know when and what month it will be able to achieve, do you want my junior brother to lead the neck and wait to be killed?"

The monk surnamed Yuan said meaningfully, "Not necessarily, my Zijin Courtyard has a kind of heaven and earth spiritual object, which was originally specially used by the sect to break through the bottleneck of foundation building, or to help you. ”

Sima Yuan's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this, and he pointed at the other party for a while, "Senior brother, but you have already hit it with your idea?"

The monk surnamed Yuan smiled but did not say a word.

What the other party said was the treasure of the Zijin Courtyard, the Purple Gold Holy Lotus!

Legend has it that this lotus grows in the middle of the island lake in the Zijin Temple, and is specially guarded by the master of the courtyard, waiting for the sect to send someone to pick it.

A trace of excitement and heat flashed in Sima Yuan's eyes, but he secretly said in his heart that this surnamed Yuan wanted to use him as a gunman, but he didn't want to be fooled, but he couldn't resist this temptation enough.

What's more, this is almost Sima Yuan's only life-saving straw, for him at this moment, cultivation promotion is greater than the sky!

Sima Yuan's bitter gourd face changed, and he said seriously and honestly, "Senior brother's life-saving grace, the junior brother can't repay it, so let's take a little bit of care for the junior brother." ”

The monk surnamed Yuan bowed his head, "Don't worry, I will help you on the day of your hand, and besides, you don't need to take off all the purple gold holy lotus, you only need to take out a few green lotus seeds." ”

Sima Yuan hesitated and said, "If you want to take that purple gold holy lotus, the courtyard master doesn't seem to have a good time." ”

The monk surnamed Yuan pondered for a moment, "The courtyard master will feel unwell for a few days every month, when the mana will be greatly reduced, and the sensitivity of the sensor will also be greatly reduced, and that is when you will act. ”

Sima Yuan looked incredulous, looked at the monk surnamed Yuan and was silent for a long time, and said with deep meaning,

"The senior brother is resourceful, and the younger brother only learned today that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. ”

The monk surnamed Yuan squinted his eyes at Sima Yuan, and he said in a deep voice, "Before you and I returned, presumably that Master Cao had already fought with the academy master, so it is speculated that the academy master will fall into a downturn in a few days, and his strength will definitely drop suddenly."

Sima Yuan's spirits perked up, "If that's the case, then let's act in a few days, this matter should be sooner rather than later!"

The monk surnamed Yuan bowed his head lightly after pondering for a while, and then gave Sima Yuan a slip, "This is how to extract the Purple Gold Holy Lotus, as well as its effects and how to take it." ”

Sima Yuan took it with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother, for your generous gift!"

The monk surnamed Yuan waved his hand, "You should recover from your injuries as soon as possible."

Sima Yuan nodded, took the 'Hui Yuan Dan' in front of the monk surnamed Yuan, meditated on the condition, and asked the surnamed Yuan to help apply the 'limb cream'.

Previously, he suffered a full blow to the back surnamed Cao, if it weren't for his rough skin and thick flesh, and the magic robe given by the courtyard master, maybe he would have been beaten into meat puree.

Later, it was this surnamed Yuan who was in the middle of the flight, and he was fed several life-sustaining pills before he was rescued, otherwise he might have followed Xiao Chengzu and them.

Sima Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the person surnamed Yuan, and after hesitating for a while, he asked, "Senior brother, can you tell me the name?"

The monk surnamed Yuan stiffened, his face turned slightly dark, and a few words popped out dullly, "Yuan Chengmo".

The corners of Sima Yuan's mouth twitched, he was obviously a person in the Immortal Dao, but he wanted to become a demon, what a strange person!

As if sensing Sima Yuan's strangeness, his tone was stiff, "After the injury is healed, go back to the courtyard master as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for you and me to withstand the wrath of the upper sect." ”

Sima Yuan thought so, it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and since he had stepped on the thief ship, he would simply go all the way to the dark.

Just do it!

Since he is a fellow practitioner, Sima Yuan is no longer polite, "Senior brother, come and help me apply my back again!"

A few days later, the Zijin Courtyard, a small building in the middle of the lake, but the embroidery building was a little embarrassed, as if it had just encountered a beacon fire.

Sima Yuan stood in the embroidery building with a pale face, and Yuan Chengmo beside him looked indifferent, looking at Sima Yuan from time to time with a trace of appreciation.

A little, the lazy clear voice slowly fell, "You mean, that Zhao Shuang took the Cold Water Sword, and it couldn't be taken back because of Senior Brother Cao's sudden attack?"

Sima Yuan's expression was solemn, "Please punish the court master, the disciple's actions are unfavorable, causing the court master to be unjust, and the crime deserves death!"

The courtyard master sneered, "The sin deserves death?" I didn't expect you, a little loach, to understand the worldly dynasty. ”

Sima Yuan seemed to feel the probing of that gaze, his heart tensed, and when he was nervous, a lazy voice came,

"Get up, although the Cold Water Sword was something I wore back then, it has long been invisible, and others may have forgotten it, so if you lose it, you will lose it. ”

Sima Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and just as he was about to bow Xie and leave, an edict slip fell, "This time you are also considered meritorious, and you can hold the edict to handle the entry registration." ”

Sima Yuan's heart perked up, and he said loudly, "Thank you for the generous gift of the courtyard master, but the courtyard master will be sent in the future, Sima Yuan will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up!"

The courtyard master seemed to be tired, "Okay, you can step down."

Sima Yuan suddenly withdrew from the Embroidery Pavilion with an excited face.

When Sima Yuan withdrew, the courtyard master's voice was slightly deeper, "Cheng Mo, what Sima Xiao'er said is true?"

Yuan Chengmo solemnly clenched his fists and said respectfully, "Back to the courtyard master, what that kid said is nine true and one false, and it is not all in line. ”

The courtyard master smiled, "That kid looks like a ghost, I know he's not honest." Say, did he covet my cold water sword?"

Yuan Chengmo nodded, "The Cold Water Sword was indeed taken away by Zhao Shuang, but then Zhao Shuang was killed by him, and he killed it with the Cold Water Sword in front of Uncle Cao." ”

There was silence for a while above the pavilion, and only then did he let out a faint sigh, "I see, no wonder the surnamed Cao is unrelenting, he grabbed the handle of the old lady." Looks like I'll have to tell the other side. ”

Yuan Chengmo was silent, and he said slowly, "That Sima Yuan is bold and careful, decisive and ruthless, and he is a good seedling." ”

The head of the hospital was noncommittal, "Let me think about it."

On the other side of the lake, Sima Yuan waited until Yuan Chengmo came out, and then bowed down and said, "Senior brother, thank you for saving your life!"

Yuan Chengmo waved his hand and said, "You go to naturalize first, and then I will take you to familiarize yourself with the outer door." ”

Sima Yuan smiled even more, "Then there is Senior Brother Lao."
