Chapter 36: Nightmare
Senior brother, aren't you kidding with my life?
But Lu Guiyan glanced at her, clearly telling the truth about him.
Xu Su opened his mouth, and finally held back a good word.
Is she the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
"Senior brother, what did you mean by being entrusted last time?" Xu Su asked as he walked,
"If you don't understand, you can go to the library to check it. ”
“...... It's not the meaning of this idiom, it's the meaning behind this idiom. Xu Su didn't know if he really didn't understand or fake.
Lu Guiyan's pace slowed down a little, and there was no concealment in his tone, but what he said made Xu Su not believe it, and he said: "In my opinion, you don't need to know about this." ”
Xu Su asked rhetorically, "Why is it unnecessary? someone asked you to help me, right?"
"Just know that. ”
Xu Su had nothing to say.
Lu Guiyan opened the secret room of Changfeng Jianglin, and there was a small attic in the deepest part of it, with all the utensils, it looked clean and tidy, as if someone had lived here not long ago, she quickly figured it out: "Senior brother, this is another secret stronghold of yours?"
"Stayed here for a while before. ”
Xu Su snorted twice, looked at the surrounding environment, and thought to himself that if this was a tourist attraction, it would be very profitable, but it was a pity, who would dare to trespass in the Holy Land of Cultivating Immortals.
Lu Guiyan threw her a scroll, with an expressionless face: "Thoroughly understand this book in half a day." ”
Xu Su didn't know what it was, she only heard that it was a mental method, her fingers paused suddenly, and she touched her head a little embarrassedly: "But I can't understand the mental methods you gave me before." ”
"That's the basics. Lu Guiyan brushed the stone bench with his sleeve,
"Okay, I'll take a closer look. ”
Lu Guiyan gave a few more simple instructions, then got up and walked to the house, Xu Suzheng lowered his head and turned his mind, and heard him say again: "The place behind the Changfeng Jianglin is called the Hunting Forest, which is usually a place for selecting disciples, and there are many dangers, so don't set foot in it." ”
Xu Su subconsciously looked at the trees in Hessen, she nodded, rest assured, it was impossible for her to die.
——
"Retreated?" Bai Zhuyi and Shi Xin were drinking tea in Minchuan, and they were a little surprised to hear Minchuan talk about Lu Guiyan's retreat.
"I also took Xu Sun's girl. Min Chuan added,
Bai Zhuyi and Shi Xin glanced at each other, the meaning of which was self-evident, it turned out that what the kid said last time was true, did he really want to take strict care of the little handyman?
"Brother, why do you treat a handyman differently?"
Shi Xin was also a little curious: "Yes, can you tell me the reason?"
Min Chuan shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I like her talent." ”
"Huh?" Bai Zhu looked shocked, "Brother, aren't you old and confused, aren't you?
"I always think that little girl is a little strange, let's take a look. "Minchuan has a tendency to change the topic,
Shi Xin was very interested, and then moved on to other things: "The day of the next disciple selection is always close, right?"
"Indeed, there are less than ten days left, and I have already instructed the heads of the major sects to start preparations, and it is a new force. Bai Zhuyi sighed,
Shi Xin's face gave birth to a faint joy: "When the time comes, let's see if there are any talented disciples among them, I have been thinking about accepting disciples in the past few days." ”
"If that's the case, then I'll also look for it, but it's a gimmick to compete between old and new disciples. Bai Zhuyi immediately echoed,
Min Chuan Lehe: "This gimmick is really not small, I don't know which disciples can get into the eyes of the two of you." ”
"I want to find someone like Guiyan, but unfortunately I can't ask for it all these years. ”
"Gui Yan is indeed extremely talented, and he has been dedicated to the Tao all these years, but he hasn't seen him care about one thing for a long time. ”
Min Chuan interrupted the two of them to speak: "Gui Yan, don't think about it, just focus on the next session, speaking of which, it is about to be the day when this class of disciples will go down the mountain to practice." ”
Speaking of this downhill experience, Bai Zhuyi and Shi Xin were silent for a while, throughout the establishment of the Qianyuan faction, almost all the lost disciples have been trained in this downhill experience, in the sect they only think about training, but when they go outside, it is different, many difficulties and obstacles need to be overcome by themselves, and in the end, they can really enter the immortal gate by tempering their state of mind.
All of this is a matter of personal chance.
——
"There are many strange beasts in the hunting forest, at first they were only imprisoned in it to raise, and later they were favored by the head and elders, as a condition for tempering disciples, and since then they have been sealed, and they are not allowed to act rashly until the day of selection, and those who violate it will be expelled from the Qianyuan faction. Lu Guiyan popularized knowledge to Xu Su in a flat tone,
Xu Su's attention was all on the strange beast: "How peculiar is it? Is there a phoenix? Or is it a dragon and a unicorn?"
Lu Guiyan paused, and slowly shook his head: "Most of them are hateful, but the wisdom is gradually growing, fortunately, the hunting forest is vast, divided into outer forests and inner forests, and some of them, even I have never really set foot in them." ”
"Spiritual wisdom is gradually born?" Xu Su thought for a while, could it be the monster of ancient times?
"Well, in ancient times, there were powerful people who tamed beasts for riding, but today's immortal cultivators mostly use the sword to travel, and the strange beasts are already intelligent, and they are not easy to control, so the people who communicate with them are gradually fewer, and some beasts hide in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, and do not set foot in the human realm. ”
"Also, harmony between man and nature is too important. ”
Lu Guiyan frowned and continued: "The Qianyuan Sect has been established for more than 1,300 years, and most of this mountain has been impregnated with immortal laws, making it easier for the beasts here to give birth to spiritual wisdom than other regions, and they have the intention of being kind, so the elders came up with a way to use foreign beasts to train disciples. ”
"But what about other places, it's not going to be as peaceful as here, right?" Xu Su asked,
Lu Guiyan looked at her, his brows furrowed even tighter: "All your memories under the mountain have been lost?"
Xu Su remembered that she could say that she had amnesia at the beginning, but now she naturally didn't think about it, so she forced a smile: "Ah, I still haven't remembered it, and it seems that I don't have a ...... at the foot of the mountain Loved ones?"
She once put a few words in Zhou Xiaowu's mouth, but Zhou Xiaowu didn't know if she had scruples or what, she only said a few words to her indistinctly, but she could roughly deduce it,
"With the Qianyuan faction as the center, there are indeed cases of foreign beasts being ravaged everywhere, I went down the mountain a few years ago to experience, and I encountered this kind of thing, but I don't know how it has been in the past few years. ”
"Then no one cares?"
"Most of them have subordinate forces, have their jurisdiction, and there are law enforcers in their scope, and they will probably be more concerned about these matters. ”
Xu Su nodded, and slapped a wave of sycophants by the way: "The Qianyuan faction is worthy of being a holy land for cultivating immortals, and the senior brother has a wide vision. ”
Lu Guiyan seemed to glance at her: "I have told you what I should say, concentrate on cultivation." ”
Xu Su rolled his eyes and responded obediently.
The concealment of Changfeng Jianglin is really good, and as soon as he heard that the senior brother was going to retreat, no one dared to come here to disturb, and after going around for half a month, Xu Su almost walked around the place and didn't see anyone, it was really boring.
And this day the night fell,
She returned the sixth heart method to Lu Guiyan, her eyes overflowing with joy: "Senior brother, I have already thoroughly understood this whole set of exercises, is there anything else ......?"
Lu Guiyan nodded with a little satisfaction: "Your talent does not match the mark on your forehead. ”
Xu Su subconsciously touched her forehead, and laughed twice, if not to mention that the master led her into the door, the progress in the past half a month is fast, she not only understands the mental method of this world, but also feels that her consciousness is much clearer.
The most important thing is that the reason why she is so well-behaved in learning the mind method is because she hit the idea of Lu Guiyan's sword,
The thing that can be held by Lu Guiyan all day long is definitely not ordinary, and in the Qianyuan faction, Xu Su has never seen him fly with his sword, so he has to have a good increase in knowledge.
But Lu Guiyan couldn't know what she was thinking, the silver sword hung between the two, glowing with white light,
Xu Su licked his mouth, his eyes salivating,
"Want?"
"Think...... No, no, no, no," Xu Su quickly stopped, "Senior brother, I just want to see your imperial sword." ”
Lu Guiyan saw through her mind at a glance: "You want to learn the art of the sword." ”
Xu Su was embarrassed: "Senior brother, you are really a master of seeing through people's hearts, I have been practicing the mental method for more than half a month, and the foundation has been laid, so I can't come to some real things." ”
"The sword technique is only the most basic, as long as the sword moves at will, supplemented by exercises, you can naturally travel to the four regions of Kyushu. ”
"Really?" Xu Su's eyes lit up, "Wouldn't that be a free tour of the beautiful scenery?"
"Not right now. ”
A basin of cold water poured down, and Xu Su wondered: "Why?
"Qianyuan has a ban on the protection faction, and the disciples of the flying sword can't get out of the faction, this is to protect the lives of the disciples, and at the same time, immortal cultivators are not allowed to use magic at will outside, which is clearly stipulated in each faction. ”
Xu Su drooped his head like a wilted rabbit, what a lot of rules and regulations, immortal cultivators are really troublesome, but through some hard cultivation can obtain the immortal law, this feels too good, she thought that the future can turn stones into gold, and she can move mountains and reclaim the sea with a wave of her hand, she is excited in her heart, although it is still in its infancy, but there is always a beginning,
Don't be in a hurry, let's take our time.
"Don't be discouraged, there are many places in the Qianyuan faction that are better than the grand scenery of the Changfeng Forest, it is indeed worth seeing, and the learning of the sword also requires you to run in with the sword. ”
Xu Su began to rush into excitement, and finally thought that she didn't even have a realm, nor a sword, where could she learn swordsmanship,
She simply gave up this idea for the time being, and focused on practicing the spell that Lu Guiyan picked for her.
On this night, Lu Guiyan's realm soared again, and even a rookie like Xu Su could feel the extremely unstable fluctuations of the aura around him in the sleep, as if the spiritual power layer in the air had collided violently, depleted for a while and full for a while, which was extremely weird,
Xu Su suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after the movement passed, she knocked on Lu Guiyan's door, and after a long time she didn't wait for him to open the door, she felt a little anxious, and called twice,
At last there was a soft sound in the house,
Xu Su was almost so anxious that she tripped her left foot and her right foot when she entered, she was shocked to see that Lu Guiyan's black hair was mixed with strands of silver, which was extremely conspicuous under the candlelight, and his bony five fingers covered his heart, and his expression was a little sluggish,
A wisp of blood slowly flowed down from the corner of his mouth,
"Senior brother!"
Xu Su ran over and wanted to hold him, but the moment his hand stretched out, he was stopped by Lu Guiyan.
His voice was slightly tired, and he seemed a little lazy: "I'm fine, you go out first." ”
"I sensed the aura in the air just now, you should have broken through the realm, how could it be like this, you won't break through forcibly, right?" Xu Su spoke quickly,
Lu Guiyan pinched a spiritual decision, calmly recovering his spiritual power,
Xu Su couldn't help but remind him: "Senior brother, some of your hair ...... Probably a little rebellious. ”
Lu Guiyan raised his eyes to look at her, glanced at the hair on his face again, and shook his head indifferently: "It's just that my mood is unstable during the breakthrough process, it's okay, I'll just recover." ”
Xu Su looked at him pityingly: "Then, then I can't help my senior brother, so let's make some supper for my senior brother." ”
She watched Lu Guiyan change from a senior brother to a tyrant and a cool novel-style prince, all because of that hair, and she felt a little sorry at the moment, but she didn't know if she could change back.
Who knows, when she brought the two bowls of noodles into the house, Lu Guiyan's hair had become the same as before,
Wow, that's amazing.
Xu Su was silently eating noodles, while silently watching Lu Guiyan enter the meditation motionlessly, with white light around her like a manifest bodhisattva, she was envious and magical, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Xu Su had already stretched out his claws to another bowl of noodles,
Lu Guiyan's eyes were faint: "Cough." ”
Xu Su retracted his claws like a fire, smiled, and pushed the bowl over there: "Senior brother, please use it." ”
Lu Guiyan sat down and pinched his chopsticks to eat noodles as if nothing had happened.
“...... Senior brother?" Xu Su was a little confused, this was all eaten up by his mood, why was he still the same as no one, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, you can go and rest after I'm done. Lu Guiyan's psychological ability is simply too strong, which makes Xu Su admire it so much,
Xu Su finally held the bowl, then walked out of the door and stopped again, standing still,
After a while,
The door slammed open,
Xu Su happened to meet Lu Guiyan's eyes,
"What do you mean by standing outside my door?"
"I ...... I'm fine," Xu Su came back to his senses, "I'm just standing outside and looking at the moon, you see how round the moon is." ”
Lu Guiyan glanced at the crescent moon in the sky: "......"
"Go back to the house and rest, I'm fine. Lu Guiyan didn't demolish her, but just repeated what he said before,
Xu Su looked around at his face, looked at him twice, and after making sure that he was really fine, he went back with an unnatural face,
Lu Guiyan stood outside the door, watched her enter the house with two empty bowls, and ran to the kitchen in a daze to put them back, and then ran to her own house to close the door.
He curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Xu Su lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
And Lu Guiyan, who was sitting in the room, was overflowing with spiritual power on his fingertips, and he clicked a few times at the major acupoints in front of him, and a mouthful of spiritual blood was instantly forced out by him.
There was some gloom in his eyes, and his clenched fists slowly loosened and wiped the corners of his mouth, and after calming down, he slowly lay down on the bed, lifted the quilt and fell asleep.
It's the middle of the night.
Xu Su slept profusely, in the dark night, the window paper was blown by the wind and made a slight sound, and the moonlight outside quietly seeped in through the crack in the door, she seemed to have fallen into an extreme nightmare.
"Where ......"
Xu Su rarely dreams, and the dreams she has had in more than 20 years are simply a handful, but this time her dreams are extremely real, and she doesn't dare to pinch herself if it's real.
In front of her was a ...... hidden in the jungle The palace, the iron door is engraved with mysterious and obscure inscriptions, like a patchwork of symbols, she can't understand it, but this heavy iron door is similar to the Qianyuan School Library Pavilion, dense vine branches climb on it, almost completely covered,
Completely wrapped in dense forests, Xu Su looked up at the dim night sky, dotted with several broken stars,
Xu Su looked down......
She didn't wear shoes.
Damn.
Is this in a dream?
She began to try to walk forward, the soft earth with a little coolness from the soles of her feet to her body, and after two steps she realized the most important problem,
It was too quiet here, it didn't matter what it was, it was too strange for a forest to not even hear the sound of insects, she swallowed, and suddenly moved her eyes to the iron door,
"Yes, go forward, keep going......"
A voice sounded coldly, it was a completely different timbre from Lu Guiyan, with the brightness of spring, but it was an out-and-out male voice, and she could clearly hear a little excitement,
Ay?
A strange male voice appeared in her dream?
When Xu Su thought that it was in her dream, she suddenly felt very confident, and she strengthened her courage: "Who are you? ”
The voice paused,
"You come here first. ”
"You come out. ”
"You come over first. ”
"You come out for me first!"
“......”
Xu Su never took a step back, she still thought it was funny, she didn't dream once in a hundred years, and it was quite interesting to do it once.
The voice was silent longer this time,
Xu Su raised his eyebrows, and then heard the voice sound again: "You go in first, I'll come out." ”
"Go in?" Xu Su thought to himself, "This is to let me enter the iron gate, isn't there some trap to harm me?"
"It's your dream, don't be afraid. ”
Xu Su suddenly remembered, yes, she was afraid of a hammer, so she walked over and pushed the door, pushed it once, didn't open it, didn't open it twice, three times, four times...... More than a dozen ...... Still didn't push it away,
She scratched her head and shouted into the air, "Have you forgotten any key steps?"
"I think I forgot to open the door for you. ”
“...... Let's get started. "Xu Su has the expression that you are really a little forgetful ghost.
The door opened silently, only for a moment,
A white light flashed in front of Xu Su's eyes, she subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was the familiar beams in the house.
It's already getting dark outside...... Lu Guiyan, who was sitting at the table drinking tea,
She reached out and touched her forehead, there were a few drops of sweat on her eyelashes, her palms were full of sweat, her mouth was bloody, and she scratched the side of the bed like a cat, and she looked like she woke up from a big dream.
"You're dreaming. ”
