Chapter 4: The Fruit of the Rising Sun
When Luo Xi Yuanjun came back, Li Shuyu was climbing on the osmanthus tree in the back garden of Luo Xi Palace to help Bi Yan pick osmanthus flowers, and when she saw her hanging on the tree like a monkey, Luo Xi Yuanjun was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing, pointing at her and saying: "Although you are a little boy who follows my senior brother, your heart is as naughty as when I was a child." ”
Li Shuyu blushed from her smile, hurriedly slid down from the tree, and said cautiously: "I've seen Luo Xi Yuanjun." ”
"I'm not blaming you, don't be afraid. Luo Xi Yuanjun stretched out his hand to pick off the leaves on her head, still smiling: "I also liked to climb trees when I was a child, pick a fruit today and steal a bird's egg tomorrow or something, my senior brother is always glared at me angrily, saying that I am too rude and unorthodox for a girl." ”
Bi Yan also laughed and nodded: "Zixiao Zhenjun really likes to say these four words." ”
Every time I went out to make trouble, my father would stop me and say that he was to blame him for not taking good care of me, and if he wanted to punish him, he would punish him. A wisp of blush appeared on Luo Xi Yuanjun's face, which suddenly made her heroic face delicate, as cute as the peach blossoms in March.
Bi Yan covered her mouth and snickered, and said in her words: "Zixiao Zhenjun has always loved Master You. ”
Luo Xi Yuanjun's face suddenly changed from a peach blossom to a camellia, and it seemed to be red and dripping blood.
"Just you talk a lot!" she feigned anger and wanted to knock Bi Yan, but Bi Yan hurriedly dodged away, smiled and ran back to the kitchen with osmanthus in her arms.
Seeing Bi Yan running away, Luo Xi Yuanjun touched his hot cheeks, looked down and saw Li Shuyu staring at him intently, hurriedly cleared his throat, and said: "Little fox, your senior brother has already told me, today I explored the meridians in your body, and found that although the phoenix divine power helped you become an immortal, it also hurt you inside. ”
What she said was actually aware of it a long time ago, and she was also a person who had married a Dan, so she naturally knew that Neidan needed to use the luck of the meridians to condense and cultivate before she could become a Dan. She couldn't sleep the night before yesterday, so she went to the courtyard alone to meditate and gather qi, but found that her meridians were not blocked, not to mention condensing and cultivating, and she couldn't even get through the qi at all.
She can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and she has suffered a loss, and she still understands this truth to some extent.
Seeing that Li Shuyu's expression was gloomy, Luo Xi Yuanjun couldn't bear it, and pulled her to sit down on the ice bench next to the osmanthus tree, Xu was afraid that she would be cold, and thoughtfully conjured a small blanket to help her cushion.
"Damage to the meridians is not too much of a problem, as long as the method is right, it can be cured in less than three years. Luo Xi Yuanjun patted her head gently, and said patiently: "I was impatient in my early years, and I always wanted to learn the sword overnight. But later the swordsmanship learned became more and more difficult, the routines were complex and changeable, the mental method was obscure and lengthy, Rao was my natural strange material, but I couldn't bear it, I went crazy in a hurry for quick success, and almost wasted my hands and feet, but fortunately, my brother rescued me in time, and I saved these hands. But he was hurt by me, and he couldn't hold the sword anymore. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Xi Yuanjun couldn't help but redden, Li Shuyu only then understood why Master Zixiao Zhenjun was born in Taoism but never worthy of a sword, always holding a light dust, and when he was angry, he hit the senior brothers a few times, and the senior brothers were also painless, blinking and jumping lively. It turned out that for Luo Xi Yuanjun, he was willing to abolish his martial arts, but he didn't want to be regarded as a waste, so he turned to develop pills.
Master's choice shows that in his heart, Yuanjun's life is far more important than his hands and feet, so Yuanjun does not need to be sad. Li Shuyu is not very good at comforting people, and he racked his brains and only came up with a few words: "Besides, now that Master and you are in the immortal class, enjoying a lifetime of 10,000 years, it is also a good thing." ”
"Little guy, is it a good thing to enjoy a life span of 10,000 years?" Luo Xi Yuanjun pinched her face, shook her head helplessly, and shook her other hand lightly, turning into a slender ice sword in the blink of an eye. The sword is only wide, the body is round and clear, there is no blade, and it looks a bit like a popsicle. Seeing that Li Shuyu was stunned, she handed the sword to her and said, "Hold it." ”
Li Shuyu obediently held the sword, thinking that there would be a scene of golden artifacts in her hands, but she didn't expect that after holding it for a long time, this sword was still a popsicle, and she was still a little Taotong, and there was no change at all. Expecting to pounce on her, she let go of the sword with a melancholy face.
"Is it hot?"
Li Shuyu shook her head.
"Is it cold or not?"
Li Shuyu shook her head.
"That's very good. Luo Xi Yuanjun was suddenly in a good mood, she conjured an ice-blue tassel rope to wrap the sword, and with a gentle blow, the original arm-long ice sword turned into a delicate ice hairpin in the blink of an eye. She pulled out the sandalwood hairpin on Lishuyu's head, pinned the ice hairpin, and said with a smile: "This thing will be yours from today onwards." ”
Li Shuyu was flattered and shook her head again and again: "How can this work?! No, no, I can't stand it!"
"There's nothing to stand it, this sword isn't a rare thing, and most importantly, no one else can use it. Luo Xi Yuanjun explained: "Twenty years ago, I got a crystal clear volcanic ice rock, and on a whim I wanted to refine two swords and give them to Bi Yan and Qiu Chen to play, but I didn't expect that this ice rock looks like ice, but it is a fire, Bi Yan followed me to practice the cold heart method, Qiu Chen followed my senior brother to practice pure fire internal skills, one of them held a hot hand, and the other held and said Bing Xin, and in the end, no one wanted it, so it had to be put on hold there and no one cared." Now that you have a special body, you need to harmonize yin and yang, and this sword is the most suitable for you to use. ”
It turns out that I just don't want to waste things, and it seems that I have just been a little self-inflicted.
Saying goodbye to Luo Xi Yuanjun, Li Shuyu slowly shook back to Zixiao Palace with Bi Yan's newly made osmanthus cake, Zixiao Zhenjun was opening the furnace to order Dan, seeing her come back with a satisfied face, she said angrily: "Such a greedy mouth, and I'm not afraid of eating bad stomachs." ”
"Luo Xi Palace is all good things, how can you eat bad stomach?" Li Shuyu leaned over with a shy face, put the box of osmanthus cakes in his arms in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yuanjun asked me to bring a box of pastries to you, and said that I would be able to walk around the two palaces more in the future, and report to her at any time if I have any news." ”
Although she didn't know what this "news" was, the old man obviously understood it very well, his face was slightly red, a little annoyed, and when he saw Li Shuyu smiling facelessly, he grabbed a few pills and gave them to her, sent her out of the pill room, and let her play by herself.
Li Shuyu carefully put these pills into a small porcelain bottle, and then hid them in the innermost part of the cabinet with several other pills given by the master. Injuries and illnesses are inevitable in life, and she is more relieved to have this.
"What are you hiding secretly?"
There were a few sneers at the door, the corners of Li Shuyu's mouth twitched, and he didn't look back, and said angrily: "You care about me!"
"Naturally, I want to take care of you, lest you disgrace me. Qi Feng walked in slowly, pinched her pointed ears mischievously, and saw her fried hair, so he said with satisfaction: "I came to the Heavenly Palace today to do business, and I took a look at you on the way, I thought you were meditating hard, but I didn't expect to sneak around in the room to eat, there was no trace of cultivation in the stomach, and the snacks were full." ”
What he said was the truth, Li Shuyu was not embarrassed to quibble, so he could only hum in a low voice: "If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to cultivate......
Qi Feng raised his eyebrows, his eyes paused when he saw the hairpin on Lishuyu's head, he reached out to touch it, but she hurriedly dodged it, and shouted nervously: "Don't touch it, don't touch it! This is the ice sword that Luo Xi Yuanjun gave me, the fire on your body is so heavy, what should I do if I melt it!"
Qi Feng couldn't cry or laugh a little, he ignored Li Shuyu's resistance, easily pulled the hairpin off her head, looked left and right and then helped her plug it in, nodded and said: "Although it is not a rare weapon, it is indeed suitable for you to use, or Luo Xi Yuanjun is delicate." ”
"You know what it is?"
"Volcanic ice rocks are not a rare thing, why don't I know?" Qi Feng glanced at her, fished her off the bed, and said a little speechlessly: "Sure enough, it's a little fox in the mountains, and her clothes are crooked." ”
This is obviously what you just messed up, right?!
Li Shuyu reluctantly sent Qi Feng to the door, but he suddenly twisted and pinched a red fruit from his sleeve and handed it to her, and then didn't say anything, Tengyun disappeared in front of her without a trace.
Li Shuyu held the red fruit with an inexplicable face, because he was not sure what it was and didn't dare to eat it indiscriminately, so he took the fruit and asked Zixiao Zhenjun, Zixiao Zhenjun picked up the fruit and looked at it, then handed it back to her with a smile, and said: "This is the sunburst fruit on Qishan, which is healthy and replenishes qi, so eat it with confidence." ”
Seeing Zixiao Zhenjun say this, she put her mind at ease and gnawed the fruit in three or two bites.
Later, Li Shuyu learned from his master Zixiao Zhenjun that this Rising Sun Wood absorbs the essence of the sun, and it only bears fruit once in thirty years, and the fruit does not exceed thirty, and only the patriarch in the pilgrimage palace is eligible to enjoy it.
And Li Shuyu also realized many years later that Qi Feng was born not good at expressing feelings, never put care and worry on his lips, he likes to sneak around when he does good deeds, and he is silent when she misunderstands her, but he hugs the old wine and looks at the moon, and is silently sad and borrows wine to eliminate his sorrows. She enlightened Qifeng many times for this, persuading him not to hold everything in his heart, to say what he was happy or unhappy to say, and he and his children were good to share his worries, he was talking at the time, but it was still the same as in the past, and then she knew that the problems of these many years could not be changed, so she no longer took everything seriously with him, and listened to what she said when she quarreled.
Of course, that's all for later.
