Chen Jian calmed down, smiled slightly bitterly in his heart, and said, "Two senior brothers, there is something to do next, so I have left." With that, the three of them bowed to each other, dispersed, turned around the corridor, and Ji and Zhao, who were following behind Chen Jianping, let out a long breath, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Ji Xiaowu said angrily to Zhao Dazhuang: "You fool, from your mouth, when has this happened, didn't you say that in front of everyone, didn't you make the eldest brother the target of everyone?"

Zhao Dazhuang scratched his head and grinned: "I just told the truth, and I didn't think about it so much." ”

Ji Xiaowu walked a few steps, followed Chen Jianping and said: "Big brother, the five-year test is very important for ordinary disciples, those with good qualifications are likely to be selected as disciples, there are already five disciples in the room before the master, and you have been newly accepted as a disciple, it should not be a disciple in the room in the short term, those two are the best among the ordinary disciples just now, and there is a great hope of being selected as a disciple in the room, but now it is ......"

Chen Jianping slowly stopped, sighed, and said, "Hey, I don't know, I was accepted as a disciple by Master Zun by chance, and naturally I have become a thorn in the side of many people, and this big test may not indicate how many people are waiting to see my jokes!"

On this day, Chen Jianping received the order of Uncle Chang Jing of the Alchemy Medicine Hall to go into the mountain to pick the 'blood mushroom', this 'blood mushroom' is a rare medicinal material in the Ziyun Palace's miracle medicine 'Wujin Life Renewal Pill', he knows medical skills, is familiar with the habits of 'blood mushroom', and it will get twice the result with half the effort to find it, so he sent him into the mountain.

Chen Jianping didn't dare to delay at all, packed up, hung a talisman sword in his waist, and set off with Ji Xiaowu, that Zhao Dazhuang wanted to go with him, but the boss was unwilling to send the two of them to the door reluctantly.

At this time, it is already summer, the mountains are lush, birds and flowers are fragrant, the flat mountain roads spread among the mountains, and the wind blowing in the face carries a little heat, which makes people feel lazy.

Ji Xiaowu's face was excited, and he asked as he walked: "Big brother, where do we have to go to collect that 'blood mushroom' miracle medicine?"

Chen Jianping tightened the long sword on his waist and said: "Brother, don't worry, from here to the east, at most three days' journey, you will arrive at a place called 'Dongyao Mountain', where there is a deep mountain and old forest, and the caves are dense, you can definitely pick 'blood mushrooms'." ”

Ji Xiaowu said: "Hey, if we have that sword kung fu, these three days will be there in a moment, and it will be really difficult to walk step by step like this!"

Chen Jianping smiled and said: "How can it be so easy, I have only only practiced the Xuantian Demon True Method to the third layer, and I can barely achieve the 'exorcism', if you want to make the sword technique, you have to cultivate the fourth layer." ”

The two of them were gossiping and hurrying away, and when they turned around the foot of the mountain, they suddenly saw a person standing on the side of the mountain road from a distance, Chen Jianping smiled at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand at Ji Xiaowu, and sped up his steps.

Ji Xiaowu asked inexplicably: "Big brother, do you recognize the person in front of you?" Chen Jianping didn't answer, and in a moment, he had walked to the person, Ji Xiaowu raised his eyes and looked at it, so shocked that he couldn't speak, only to see a woman standing on the side of the mountain road, extremely beautiful, with a backpack at her feet, looking at them with a smile.

Chen Jianping pointed at the woman and said to Ji Xiaowu: "Xiao Wu, this is the Sister Qi Ruoxue Qi that I often mention to you. "It turned out that the woman standing on the side of the mountain road was Qi Ruoxue, the daughter of the medicine fairy.

Ji Xiaowu's eyes widened, and he muttered: "It turns out that this is Sister Qi, I thought it was a fairy in the mountains."

Qi Ruoxue covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, and said to Chen Jianping: "You little junior brother is really good at talking", Ji Xiaowu scratched his head embarrassedly.

Chen Jianping picked up the back basket at Qi Ruoxue's feet and said, "Sister Ruoxue's attainments in medicine stones are a hundred times stronger than ours, with her help, we will definitely be able to pick 'blood mushrooms'." ”

Qi Ruoxue said: "Don't praise me for not finishing, I have only seen 'blood mushrooms' once in the past, whether I can pick them or not depends on our luck, the hour is not early, hurry up!"

Chen Jianping nodded, and the three of them continued to hurry, talking and laughing along the way, stopping and stopping, picking some herbs, delaying the journey, and only walking into the Dongyao Mountain boundary on the fifth day, it was noon, and the weather was hot and tight.

The three of them were walking with dry mouths, turned the corner, and suddenly saw an old man with a straw hat on the side of the mountain road, set up a small pergola, set up three or two tables, sat two tea drinkers, and there was a small stove next to it, and a large pot of boiling water gurgled on it.

Ji Xiaowu pointed and said, "Big brother, I see that there seems to be a small tea shed in front, let's go over and rest and drink tea to quench our thirst!"

Chen Jianping nodded and said, "Well, it's okay, the heat has been a lot heavier in the past two days, Sister Ruoxue, go over and rest", Qi Ruoxue wiped the sweat on her forehead and nodded with a smile.

The three of them entered the tea shed and chose a small table in the middle, Chen Jianping dusted off the ashes on the bench, and invited Qi Ruoxue to sit down, Ji Xiaowu waved his hand and said, "Uncle, come to three bowls of tea to quench your thirst." The old man answered, brought three large bowls, poured tea, and went about his work.

Chen Jianping took a sip of tea and said to Qi Ruoxue: "Sister Ruoxue, you have been traveling for days, are you tired?"

Qi Ruoxue said: "Fortunately, I don't feel too tired, but the weather is really hot and tight." ”

Ji Xiaowu drank a bowl of tea, let out a sigh of relief, pursed his lips and said, "Let's go to the Dongyao Mountain Realm, such a big mountain, where can we pick medicine?"

Qi Ruoxue said: "There is a hanging bat cave in this East Medicine Mountain, this cave is extremely deep, let's go there first to have a look." ”

At this time, the old man, who had been silent, heard the three words of the hanging bat cave, and suddenly his whole body shook, and the tea bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground, and several tea drinkers next to him stopped, and looked here from time to time.

This is, the old man wearing a straw hat, holding a teapot, said with a smile on his face: "A few guest officers, my tea is not bad, right?

Chen Jianping smiled slightly and said: "Hehe, the color is golden, the smell is fragrant, it is indeed a good tea." After that, he took out a few copper coins from his arms, slapped them on the table, and got up to leave.

The old man smiled slightly: "A few little guest officers, where are you going?"

Chen Jianping raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that the old man straightened his waist, and his face seemed to be bloody, not like the wrinkles on his face just now, Chen Jianping looked at it and thought: "Hmph, it's really weird!" I only heard the old man say: "It's better to drink a few more cups of tea here, visit the surrounding scenery, and then go home." ”

When Chen Jianping heard this, he immediately felt inexplicable, and Ji Xiaowu next to him stood up and said, "Where is this talk, uncle, what do you mean by saying something that makes us go home for no reason?"

Suddenly, among the two people drinking tea next to him, one of them stood up, only to see that this person was not very tall, with a handful of goatee on his chin, and waved his hand impatiently and said: "Don't go any further here, we are also for your good, don't listen to persuasion, in case you lose your life, it's not a joke!"

Chen Jianping rushed up angrily when he heard this, thinking: "In broad daylight, these people are too domineering to avoid it!"

Ji Xiaowu said angrily: "Yo, there is still such a truth in the world, why can't you take a good road, how can you not do it?"

At this time, the big man who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken couldn't bear it, his big hand slapped on the table, and he was about to stand up, suddenly Chen Jianping stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the shoulder of the big man, and the big man only felt like a thousand-pound boulder pressed on his shoulder, and his body was stiff, and he couldn't stand up no matter what, and his face was flushed for a while.

I saw Chen Jianping put one hand on his shoulder, turned his face, and said to the old man calmly: "This old man, the so-called 'big road to the sky and each side', Xiaosheng just entered the precious land, I don't know if you have violated that rule, and I hope you will raise your noble hand and make it convenient." ”

The old man and the man with the goatee, their faces changed slightly, and they only heard the big man say intermittently: "You guys, who ...... Who stopped you, which Dongyao Mountain you want to enter, and gave your lives in vain, we are kind......"

Chen Jianping thought to himself: "I was arrogant just now, and now I have suffered a lot, so I want to scare us again," and said with a smile: "Oh? Thank you for that, but I'm not scared, master, I want to see how this Dongyao Mountain made me lose my life!"

After that, the right hand on his shoulder suddenly withdrew, and the big man was struggling with all his strength to struggle, not wanting his shoulder to disappear without a trace violently, and his whole body involuntarily "whew", jumped up, and almost hit the roof of the tea shed.
