As the night deepened, the feast came to an end.

For the villagers, it is a pity that they have not seen the big hero Ye Xingchen. What's more, they wanted to sneak in and take a look at the big hero, but they were all stopped by the old smoker who didn't know what to do. Of course, Ling'er knew how the old smoker stopped so many people by himself. Just before the banquet began, Ling'er had seen the old smoker use the pipe head to draw talismans back and forth on the floor of the foyer and the back kitchen. With the physical fitness of the old smoker, after finishing the formation, some sweat flowed down his forehead, which obviously consumed a lot of his physical strength.

It's called a formation.

In China, which has thousands of years of civilization inheritance, monks throughout the ages have their own merits. It is similar to the Kendo Grandmaster Xuanyuan style, the battle god Chiyou who won a hundred battles, the alchemy pill saint Shennong, and the Fuxi style with superb formation attainments. The above four are all known representative figures. Although in addition to these four people, the various sects and factions of the Huaxia Continent are blooming in the current continent like a hundred flowers, there will still be many people with a few brushes. It's just that the two types of grandmasters of formation and alchemy are far fewer than other grandmasters, let alone cultivators who are proficient in both. And the old smoker is one of them.

Ling'er and Ye Xingchen in the backyard sat looking at each other. Ling'er glanced at the latter, and pouted, "You are really a dog who can't change eating, so you know to tease me" I saw the latter blushing slightly, picking up a dog's tail grass, and turning his head to look at Ling'er, "Say it." Ling'er was stunned, "What did you say?" Ye Xingchen explained: "What did you say when you hugged me just now, didn't you have any points yourself? What is from the Fire Sect, what is my talent has long been enough. Ling'er had no choice but to sigh and say, "It's all my mouth, since you heard it, then you come with your ears, you can't let grandpa hear it" After saying that, he beckoned to Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen put his face over and heard the two muttering for a long time.

At this time, the villagers in the front yard were already in a lot of trouble. Especially the seven brothers of the gourd who were saved by Ye Xingchen. Dawa led the other six people to break into the backyard, and Aunt Zhou on the side also looked nervous, after all, her son was used to it, and it was a fact that he was rescued by Ye Xingchen, but people don't want to see it, but you want to see it, and if the trouble continues, if Old Man Qin is unhappy, then tonight's atmosphere will be ruined. Thinking of this, Aunt Zhou pulled the sleeve of the big baby's shirt and said, "Son, you see that Old Qin doesn't let you go to see your benefactor, why do you have to fight against it? Obviously, he didn't know his mistake yet, or he just felt that it was natural to see his benefactor, so he didn't take the old smoker seriously. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the old smoker.

You must know that there are three fastest ways to spread news in the world, one is the Internet with modern technology, the second is the radio with modern technology, and the third is the mouth of the villagers. The old smoker and Ling'er rescued a young man in different clothes and chopped firewood for the old smoker's house for a year. The villagers have passed on to each other.

The old smoker was unmoved, sat on the courtyard, swept a few people, took a puff of cigarette, and said lightly, "Villagers, if you want to see my righteous grandson, you can try it yourself" After speaking, he smiled slightly, but the smile was a little inexplicable. Dawa and the rest of the villagers all picked up the wine bowl and walked over the old smoke ghost formation.

Of course, they can't see the formation, and they can only realize the existence of the formation when they touch it.

Dawa saw the door between the brown pillar in the living room and the pillar in the kitchen, and said with a smile, "This is it, everyone, wait." The eldest baby and the other six babies turned their heads and said to the bustling villagers behind them, "The benefactor saved our brother today, so after taking us to toast first, we will leave, bothering the villagers to wait for a while" The villagers behind him also felt justified and nodded their heads.

The eldest baby smiled and said, "Thank you", and then said to the six brothers, "Let's go." With the cultivation of the big baby, he couldn't find out that this formation existed, so the whole person walked directly to the formation. "Bang" a huge rebound force, directly bounced the big baby up, jumped over all the villagers, and flew to the edge of the dirt. And that layer of formation was like a water wave gate, producing ripples. Then it vanished. The eldest baby fell and ate, and said angrily, "Bad old man, why are you stopping us?" Seeing this, Aunt Zhou and the other six babies hurriedly ran out to support the eldest baby, and they were also a little unhappy between their eyebrows.

For a while, none of the villagers dared to go up, looking at the door of this evil gate, stunned like a wooden chicken. The old smoker on the high seat laughed for a while, and said, "If my righteous grandson wants to come out, will he not come out?" The old man has already said that if you want to take the initiative to meet, you will try it yourself" The eldest baby's face sank, and said, "Who knows what means you have set up to prevent me from waiting to take the initiative to thank the benefactor!" "That's right, the old man of the smoker, it's not good for you to do this" The village chief couldn't help but speak.

"Hahaha" A burst of laughter came from the array. Under the leadership of Ling'er, Ye Xingchen walked out of the calm formation, and after the outside of the formation still produced ripples, he disappeared. Ye Xingchen said to the villagers who surrounded the village: "Villagers, don't blame my grandfather. That's what I mean," whispered to the surrounding villagers. Ye Xingchen immediately threw a wink at the old smoker and told the old smoker, I understand. Who knew that the latter's beard was about to fly angrily, and this stinky boy was quite good at kicking his nose and face.

The eldest baby patted the dust on her body, and her anger disappeared. Suddenly turned into a smile and smiled heartily. walked towards Ye Xingchen, "Benefactor, you finally came out and were worshiped by the seven of my brothers!" Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "No, if you really want to toast, you will respect your mother, if it is not your mother, I will not come to save you." "To put it bluntly, Ye Xingchen doesn't want to drink it. Immediately, without waiting for Dawa and the others to speak, he looked at the night sky and said in embarrassment, "It's not early tonight." ”

Aunt Zhou was the first to be sensible, and said to the villagers, "Ye Gongzi is hard, everyone, Ye Gongzi is quite tired today, let's come back another day" After speaking, she signaled the eldest baby to hurry home and don't stay here. Only then did the eldest baby react, and the seven brothers drank all the wine in the bowl, and then left unwillingly. The protagonists of the toast are gone

Naturally, there was nothing else to watch the lively villagers.

For a time, many farewells came one after another.

... ...

After everyone left, Ye Xingchen said hehehe, "Grandpa, are you going to teach me alchemy?" The old smoke ghost said, "The character has not been observed yet, the old man is not sure whether to teach you or not" The former's face was straight, and he suddenly became righteous and awe-inspiring, "If I save the seven brothers of the gourd and don't ask for anything in return, I can't prove my character by playing a round for you, so how can I prove it?"

The old smoker smiled and said, "You want to learn so much?" Immediately, his face turned straight, his eyes showed a fierce momentum, staring at the former, and asked, "Do you know that cultivators are originally going against the sky, living forever, and being lonely in the Great Dao?" Ye Xingchen nodded solemnly and said, "I know." The old smoker said again, "Then do you know that in the long course of the years of cultivation, you will see countless relatives and friends gradually grow old and die, and you will have no relatives or friends around you, including your lover?" Ye Xingchen nodded again and said, "I know it too."

Ye Xingchen nodded twice without hesitation, and this affirmation made the old smoker's heart tremble. In the middle of the sound, the old smoker smiled bitterly and said, "That's it", and then took out a piece of paper from his arms and wrote the three-flavor medicinal herbs and flew them to Ye Xingchen, "After collecting the three-flavor medicinal materials on the paper within three days, wait for me to return from mahjong, and I will teach you alchemy." Ye Xingchen and Ling'er looked at each other and smiled, and finally succeeded!

... ...

Vertical day.

Of the three flavors of medicinal herbs given by the old smoker, the first two flavors are easier to make, but the last flavor of the medicinal herb named Guixin Lotus is difficult to get. As far as Ye Xingchen was concerned, he asked everyone in the village who didn't know where it was, so he had to wait anxiously at home for Ling'er to come over from fishing. When Ling'er is fishing, she can often go out to sea and meet other villages, and even people in the town, there should be news. Ye Xingchen could only comfort himself like this, the five peaks of Wutai Mountain had been completed, and he was just about to return to the heart lotus, and he would be able to step into the alchemist!

When Ling'er returned, it was getting late, but Ling'er smiled and showed two snow-white teeth, "Fortunately, I won't be dishonored!" made Ye Xingchen can't wait to know the whereabouts of Gui Xinlian. Ling'er said with a smile, "When I was fishing, I met Ma Yuan from a neighboring village, and his father opened a pharmacy in Qingtai Town, which is the only pharmacy in Qingtai Town, and it is said that there is a Guixin lotus." Ye Xingchen nodded excitedly and said, "Then we will leave for Qingtai Town now" Ling'er heard this, shook his head and said, "I won't go, you can go by yourself" and then said, "I want to clear the fish scales and cook dinner for grandpa, you can go"

Ye Xingchen thought about it, it was okay, so he set off in a hurry.

Qingtai Town. Located in the center of dozens of surrounding villages, the smallest unit of trade and administrative center point is the town. It is said that there are restaurants, martial arts arenas, inns, pharmacies, and so on. It's just that doing business in the town requires paying a protection fee. On top of that, there are other sect gateway strongholds in the town. In the past few years, there have been many sects, so it is difficult for some small sects to recruit disciples, so they have to pay protection fees to enroll students in the town. The clans and law enforcement powers in the town are all under the jurisdiction of the first-class sects. And recruiting disciples is not something you just like others, but a two-way choice. From Lishan Village, you will enter the town by passing through the next village all the way north.

From the moment Ye Xingchen stepped into the town, he knew the gap between the village and the town. That's a big gap. The lights are bright, the road is full of pedestrians, and the carriages are busy. At this point, there was no one in the village for a long time, and every villager went home early, and the gate was closed. And it seems that the nightlife in the town has just begun.

Ye Xingchen stepped out, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly

"Qingtai Town, I'm here. ”
