Chapter 33: Meeting Old Friends

Ye Xuan and Lin Yue were still as strange as the last time they came to the North Temple, this time they didn't stay in the North Hall, so they went directly to the back mountain, but this time they didn't make an appointment early, this time it was just a chance to try their luck to see if there was this good luck to meet them, depending on the situation this time it was not satisfactory, it didn't seem to be so lucky.

Ye Xuan and Lin Yue walked into the back mountain, there are not as many people here as in the south hall, but the number of disciples in the north hall is not quite a lot, you must know that the vast majority of female disciples in the entire Aoki live here, but there are indeed very few people cultivating today, and the back mountain is much deserted.

"Ye Xuan, why is the mountain behind the north hall so deserted today," Lin Yue felt that the atmosphere was faint.

"Well, there are a lot fewer people than last time, isn't it the preaching day of the head of the North Hall today?" Ye Si pondered.

"It shouldn't be like this, isn't it the ninth day of the first month, even if it is a sermon, it is not the north hall but the west hall, and besides, this outer disciple can't go to listen to the sermon, and we didn't see any Taoist lessons when we first came. Lin Yue said.

Ye Xuan and Lin Yue continued to walk forward, both a little disheartened, they had already walked to the waterfall where Xue'er was found last time, and when the two were about to leave, a figure made the two of them stop, this petite and dexterous figure was not Mu Xue'er, but a cicada. I saw that the cicada was light and agile, and from time to time hit a few real forces on the surface of the water, it was really:

Petite and delicate, light,

Better than the butterfly is comparable to the fly.

Slender jade dexterous force,

Layers of uneven waves.

This trick is not exactly the trick 'rain hitting the mountain', this wave is not flat, another wave, the splash has not yet fallen to the water, the jumping cicada has already fixed those water beads in the air with her true power, only to see that the water droplets are crystal clear, slowly began to change color, and finally condensed into some ice crystals of different shapes, with the wave of the cicada, it shot straight to the waterfall that flew down, and with the ice crystals that hit the waterfall fell on the curtain of waterfalls, it actually made a section of water in the middle freeze, stagnant for a moment.

A curtain of silver hangs on the mountain stream, roaring wantonly and dripping stones through; unexpectedly, a piece of ice nails has passed, and the silver hangs not forward. This is a good trick "Ice and Frost".

"This, is this a cicada?" Lin Yue was a little surprised!

"Yes, it's Cicada, this girl hasn't seen her in the past few days, and she has been so diligent" Ye Xuan said.

"Damn, is this eating the elixir, or drinking the elixir, this still makes people live" Lin Yue's face was jealous and envious.

The two approached the cicada, and the cicada slowly fell, but the cicada's body was obviously a little unstable, and her face was a little pale, Ye Xuan and Lin Yue looked at the cicada with a smile and said, "Cicada."

Hearing this call, Cicada Er turned around and saw the two of them, and said: "Senior Brother Ye" said these words, his face became even more ugly, and a trace of pain appeared on his pale face, and he couldn't help but spurt out of the cicada's mouth with a mouthful of blood.

Ye Xuan and Lin Yue's faces changed greatly, and said that it was too late, it was fast, Ye Xuan rushed to the side of the cicada with a quick step, and held the petite body that was about to collapse, Lin Yue also panicked and held the cicada, leaning the cicada on his chest, Ye Xuan hurriedly lost his true qi from behind, and after a few breaths, the cicada slowly became a little conscious, and carried his breath to cooperate with Ye Xuan's breathing.

Seeing such a situation, Lin Yue's tense heart calmed down, squatting beside Ye Xuan and Cicada, guarding the two, and gradually Ye Xuan retracted his breath, put away his true strength, let out a breath, wiped the sweat stains on his head, and stood up, Cicada was still breathing.

"Ye Xuan, what's going on?" Lin Yue asked.

"It's okay, just now the cicada was too eager for quick success, overpracticed, and suffered a serious loss of vitality, and it will be fine after pranayama. Ye Xuan said.

At this time, Cicada also opened her eyes, her face was much better, and she thanked Ye Xuan: "Thank you Senior Brother Ye for saving me."

"Cicada, don't be so polite," Ye Xuan said.

"By the way, why are you girl here alone, you see how dangerous it is today, fortunately you ran into the two of us, otherwise ······" Lin Yue also wanted to say that he was touched by Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan said: "Yes, Cicada, Lin Yue is right, you shouldn't be here alone, and you are so beyond the limit of cultivation." ”

"Senior Brother is actually not me alone, Senior Sister Lu is also cultivating here," Cicada said.

"Oh, Miss Qingqing is here too? Why didn't I see her. Lin Yue looked around.

"She's over there, let's go and have a look. The cicada pointed to the deeper north, and returned to its previous vigilance, leading the two of them along the crooked path to the depths.

"Cicada, why aren't there as many people in the back mountains as usual today," Ye Xuan asked

"Senior Brother Ye, you and the head of the sect have been in retreat for many days, you may not know about this competition, this competition will start in a few days, our female disciples, not as competitive as you, just a few days ago, the female disciples conducted a selection, and there were only a few finalists, so I ······" Cicada smiled.

"Oh, I see, hey, has Lin Yuenandian also been selected?" Ye Xuan asked.

"No, but it's just these days, hey, anyway, these are not the things of our inner disciples, why do you care about this" Lin Yue said. A few people chatted while walking, turned a corner, and next to a calm small pool, they saw a woman meditating and cultivating, looking at the shallow blue flame qi around her body, Ye Xuan understood that it turned out that this Lu Qingqing was also cultivating heart fire, but she had just entered the blue heart flame realm.

When the approach of several people was still within two hundred meters, Lu Qingqing had already sensed it, this was the awareness of the Blue Heart Flame Realm, Lu Qingqing slowly put away his breath, and prepared to complete this cultivation.

Seeing a few people coming over, Lu Qingqing said: "Ye Xuan, Lin Yue, no, Ye Xuan, are you in retreat, when did you get out of the customs" Lu Qingqing was a little puzzled.

"Ah, retreat?" Ye Xuan said, just now Cicada said so, and now Lu Qingqing also said so.

"Isn't it, aren't you and the head of the house in retreat for more than a month, besides, just now, I feel your skill······ , Unless it's the head of the sect who helps you cultivate, how can it get to such a point" Cicada looked at Ye Xuandao.

At this time, Lu Qingqing noticed the cicada, saw that her face was a little pale, and said, "Cicada, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?"

"Ahh No, it's nothing, it's just that I'm tired from practicing," the cicada said in a panic.

"It's nothing, it's all vomiting blood, and it's nothing. Lin Yue stood by and watched.

Cicada'er's face looked at Lin Yue with a bad face, Lu Qingqing was also surprised, and hurriedly inquired about the situation, after all, she was Cicada'er's senior sister, but she was taught by a master, and she was an absolute junior sister.

Ye Xuan hurriedly said: "Actually, it's not a big deal" and then Ye Xuan learned what happened just now to Lu Qingqing.

"You girl, you're always in a hurry, don't you know if you want to be fast?" Lu Qingqing said a little reproachfully.

"Senior Sister, you see that you and Senior Sister Xue'er can both cultivate here, do you think I can not be in a hurry? You have now begun to reach the Blue Heart Flame Realm, and this Senior Sister Xue'er has the guidance of the master every day, not to mention that it is not like before" Cicada said a little resentfully.

"Who is talking about me behind my back" Xue'er's voice suddenly came from behind, it turned out that this Xue'er had been his master guiding her to cultivate these mornings, and only came to the back mountain in the afternoon to absorb spiritual energy and practice fire refining techniques.

Cicada turned her head and saw that it was Xue'er, so she quickly ran over and hugged Xue'er's arm and said, "No, how can I talk about you behind my back, I think you're too late" smiled, and then looked at Ye Xuan and Lin Yue.

Xue'er also smiled and touched the cicada's nose, then looked at Lin Ye and the others, "Ye Xuan, aren't you in retreat?"

Seeing Xue'er say the same, Ye Xuanzhen was a little crying and laughing, thinking that he was in retreat, he just studied the Taoism with the master for a few days, and learned the method of learning Xingqi, he felt that he was a rookie, how could he be qualified to retreat.

"Ah, sort of, but it's out now," Ye Xuan said when he saw that.

"Whatever counts!" said Cher.

"Actually, I didn't close up anything during this time, I just listened to the master's preaching," Ye Xuan said.

"Preaching, ah, it's just like this, it's going to take a month, how is it possible" Cicada was also very unconvinced.

"That's ······" Ye Xuan sat down with a few people and chatted about what he had learned and understood during this period of time.

"Ao, it turns out that this is the case, no wonder the cicada had such a reaction just now, it turns out that the earth is the origin of the five elements" Lu Qingqing said.

"Wait, you all understand, you all understand?" Lin Yue asked.

"Yes, what's so difficult about this, although the comprehension is not very comprehensive, but at least I know the true meaning of the Dao Law, which is of great help to my cultivation, isn't this the so-called 'one law in the Dao, one technique in the law'" Cicada grinned.

"However, I still think it's in the clouds" Lin Yue was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, I can't say this thing of understanding" Cicada began to make fun of Lin Yue again.

"Okay Cicada, don't tease Lin Yue," Xue'er said with a smile.

"In short, everyone still has to rely on their own comprehension, everyone's comprehension is not moving, and the Dao results will be different" Ye Xuan said with great concern, "I will now pass on the fire refining technique to you, so I can practice deeply, especially the cicada, don't dare to rush for quick success."

Xue'er looked at Ye Xuan a little embarrassed, her eyes skimmed over Lu Qingqing, and then said to Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, I'm sorry"

Ye Xuan was a little puzzled and said: "What's wrong with Xue'er, apologize to me" Xue'er continued: "I told my senior sister about your exercises without your consent." It turned out that Lu Qingqing had this breakthrough in the Blue Heart Flame Realm, which was due to Xue'er's inheritance of the fire refining technique passed down by her Ye Xuan's family.

"You don't need to apologize for me, since it was passed on to you, it's yours, you don't need my consent" Ye Xuan looked at Xue'er and smiled

"It's me who is not good, I saw that Xue'er broke through the Qingling Flame Realm, so I asked her about the exercises," Lu Qingqing said apologetically.

"Really, Xue'er, congratulations," Ye Xuan said.

Xue'er smiled, bowed her head and said nothing, at this time Lin Yue glanced at Xue'er in a little surprise, it seemed that only he had not made much progress, it seemed that it was really as Ye Xuan said, the cultivation method was not good!
