"Senior, where can I find this Black Soul Lotus?" Li Yunwei asked urgently.

Hu Guizi shook his head and continued: "The Black Soul Lotus is generally born between the underworld and the Yang Realm, when the Hades Girl comes into the world, the Hades Gate will be opened once, at this time, the moment the aura and the underworld energy between heaven and earth meet, the Black Soul Lotus will be born between heaven and earth, some people say that it is a tear of the Mother of the Underworld, that is all nonsense, but what is the reason, I will not tell you." ”

"Senior, are you fooling us, what kind of underworld, Hades mother, are all legendary underworlds, existences in the underworld, do you mean to let us go to the underworld once?"

Hu Guizi broke his two beards with his hands, and then said: "What is fooling you, what I said is the truth, I don't believe you to inquire, eight hundred years ago, above the Sea of Wunian, the Gate of Hades was opened once, and then a Black Soul Lotus appeared in the Sea of Wunian, you must know that time the two worlds of the Xuanling Continent fought in the dark for the Black Soul Lotus." ”

Li Yunwei almost vomited blood after hearing this, what use do you say about the things of eight hundred years ago, but he still asked with his words: "Then who got the Black Soul Lotus in the end?"

Hu Guizi shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”

"Then what did you say for a long time?" Li Yunwei had some thoughts of wanting to get that piece of Qingxin Bamboo back, but after thinking about it, he endured it.

"Ahhhhh Hu Guizi didn't wait for Li Yunwei to continue his seizure, and immediately changed his words: "There are two more things, but you must get both of them to save your disciple." ”

Li Yunwei immediately asked: "What is it, you can say something that exists around us, but don't talk about those illusory things that make us happy." ”

"These two things are easy to find, and they can be found in your mortal land. Hu Guizi sprayed spit Xingzi and said: "One is the Soul Summoning Grass, and the other is the blood of the Empty Ming Frog." ”

Li Yunwei didn't know if the other party was talking nonsense, so he asked patiently: "It's the first time I've heard of this soul summoning grass, I don't know what kind of medicinal herb it is?"

Hu Guizi pointed to the direction of the forbidden forest and said: "There are many of them, when the wind is strong, this kind of grass will make a pleasant sound, the stronger the wind, the louder the sound, it seems that you all call it whimpering grass, this is not right, what a beautiful sound, why is it heard by you as a cry?"

Li Yunwei's eyes lit up when he heard this, of course he knew the whimpering grass, he didn't know if this thing was called soul summoning grass, but this grass did have a refreshing effect.

He just wanted to ask the empty frog, but Hu Guizi didn't wait for him to ask, and said to himself: "The blood of the empty frog is also a yin attribute material, and the empty frog likes to devour the moon, if there is it, the nearest place is the half-moon peak on Linfang Mountain, why is the half-moon peak called the half-moon peak? ”

Hearing this, Li Yunxuan, Mu Zi'an and Yu Shilang's hearts moved at the same time, you must know that Yu Shilang's parents have always lived in Half Moon Peak, if they used to think that the two of them just enjoyed the scenery there, they decided to live there, but now after listening to Hu Guizi's words, no one will think so.

Things must not be so coincidental, because Yu Yunyi and Li Mingyi have a very good relationship, so it is very likely that Yu Yunyi probably knew that Kong Ming frog blood could cure Li Mingyi, and deliberately lived there in order to capture Kong Ming frog.

Li Yunwei and Mu Zi'an looked at Yu Shilang at the same time, Yu Shilang nodded, he also heard his parents mention the empty frog when he was a child, but he really didn't know what the reason was at that time.

Li Yunwei took a blank piece of paper from Hu Guizi's business case, drew a portrait directly, and asked Hu Guizi: "Have your predecessors seen this person?"

Hu Guizi thought about it after reading it, and then looked at Yu Shilang again, patted his head and said: "Ah! The man who looks like this doll, I have seen it, and more than ten years ago, it seems that he also bothered me for this matter." ”

Li Yunwei felt sour in his heart when he heard it, and it was not a taste at all.

Next, when Hu Guizi was asked how to find and capture the empty frog, Hu Guizi shook his head again and again and said that he didn't know.

The three of them were silently about to walk back, and Hu Guizi suddenly shouted: "That young man, please stay!"

Yu Shilang was stunned, there were no other teenagers here except him, so he turned around and looked at Hu Guizi.

Hu Guizi squeezed his eyebrows and said to Yu Shilang: "Young man, I see that your soul is not weak, I have this exercise here that is suitable for you to practice, as long as you have ten spirit crystals, are you interested?"

Mu Zi'an and Li Yunwei smoked after hearing this, and said in their hearts: "Just your exercises, I don't know how many people have been harmed, and now in front of us, you still want to deceive the children here!"

The two of them were just about to open their mouths to curse, but Hu Guizi said again: "If you buy my exercise book, I will also have a gift to give you, this pure heart bamboo, I will have the right to give it to you." ”

Li Yunwei almost fainted when he heard this, his pure heart bamboo may not be able to buy even thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones, but he didn't expect to be given to people casually by this old thing as a gift.

Mu Zi'an was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out five spirit crystals and handed them over, saying: "The seniors are really insightful, my apprentice is indeed extraordinary, and I am really grateful to be favored by the seniors." ”

Hu Guizi pursed his lips and said, "I didn't do business with you." Then he asked Yu Shilang: "That young man, are you willing?"

Although Yu Shilang didn't know what a good thing Qingxin Bamboo was, he knew it by looking at his master's attitude, took out five spirit crystals, handed them to Hu Guizi, and said, "Thank you seniors." ”

Then he pointed to those talismans and said, "Since my predecessors love me, I also bought these talismans." ”

The talisman is not cheap, Yu Shilang took out more than 30 spirit stones and packed all the talismans, Hu Guizi opened his eyes and smiled: "The child can be taught!"

Although Mu Zi'an felt that it was a bit redundant for Yu Shilang to dig out the spirit stones to buy those talismans, compared to the value of a pure heart bamboo, he made a lot of money, and his heart was happy.

Only Li Yunwei suffered a big loss, so he left alone without saying a word.

Yu Shilang and Shi Gong collected things and walked outside Fang City, just walked out of a short distance, they heard a whining cry from behind, looked back, only to see Hu Guizi was whining and crying to wrap all the things, and then shouted to the sky: "It's windy, it's going to rain! It's windy, it's going to rain!"

The merchants in Fang City laughed and said, "This old fellow has gone crazy again." ”

Halfway back, Yu Shilang handed the Qingxin Bamboo to his master, and Mu Zi'an said: "You keep this thing, and wear it on your body when you practice in the future, which can stabilize your soul and prevent you from going crazy in practice." Don't practice that exercise, bring it to me, and I'll destroy it. ”

Yu Shilang asked curiously, "Why can't you practice this exercise?"

In fact, when he was walking, he probably looked at this exercise, and he was wondering in his heart, the name of this exercise is called the Turning Spirit Technique, and the first cultivation method of the Infinite Phaseless Gong that Huang Zeyuan gave him is called the Turning Soul Technique.

After he looked through it, he found that except for a few places where the mantras were a little different, and there were also some differences in the practice context diagram, they were almost the same.

At present, he is still a novice in cultivation, and he also thinks that these differences should be irrelevant.

But the teacher said openly that he couldn't practice, so how could he not be suspicious.

Mu Zi'an sighed and said, "This person should be an out-and-out madman, and the exercises he sells are all problematic exercises. ”

Yu Shilang said: "How could the master say that?"

Mu Zi'an said: "Don't you see that he has always looked delirious?"

Yu Shilang shook his head, he really didn't realize it.

"A hundred years ago, this person was wanted and killed by the cultivation community because he sold fake exercises for people to practice, causing public outrage. Mu Zi'an said softly.

"Hundreds of years ago?" asked Yujuro in surprise.

"Yes, no one knows how old this person is now, how many years he has lived, hundreds of years ago, he sold around a kind of exercise called "Immortal Immortal Longevity Formula" for people to practice, saying that that kind of exercise, whether it is a mortal or a person with a spiritual root, can be cultivated, as a result, many mortals began to frantically cultivate according to the exercises bought from him, and even some spiritual cultivators are the same, as a result, the entire Xuanling Continent is in chaos, and he cultivates the "Immortal Immortality Formula" These living zombies bite and devour other people's essence and blood everywhere, and even they devour each other, at that time, the cultivation world began to exterminate these living zombies, and it turned out that these living zombies were a terrible mess, extremely difficult to kill, and it took a long time for the entire cultivation world to kill these living zombies. ”

During this period, the monks began to look for this Hu Guizi, and wanted to crush this man to ashes, but they were all run away by this person, and later several rumors said that he was captured and killed, but after many years, it was found that he was still alive and well, and he continued to do business everywhere. ”

Later, it was rumored that he was a madman, a very powerful madman, and some people said that thousands of years ago, he sold a kind of exercise, called the Turning Spirit Formula, which also caused the same turmoil in the cultivation world, and the predecessor of the Immortal Immortal Immortal Recipe was called the Turning Spirit Formula, and Hu Guizi was a madman who had survived for a thousand years. ”

Yu Shilang handed the spirit transfer technique in his hand to his master, Mu Zi'an was startled after seeing it, and said: "Ah! That's it, thanks to having me by your side today, otherwise, if you are deceived by him, how can it be good." ”

Yu Juro asked, "Why did he do that?"

Mu Zi'an said with a smile: "Who knows why he is like this, for hundreds of years, people who have been in contact with him have said that this person does not look like a bad person, but sometimes he will go crazy and talk nonsense, as for the exercise books he sells, several great cultivators with advanced cultivation have also made judgments, and they can't find any fault in the exercises." ”

Yu Shilang didn't ask anything more, he didn't go back to the bamboo building, but went to a riverside willow forest not far away and sat down, feeling a little dazed.

As early as a few years ago, he heard the bad news of the death of his parents, at that time he was sad and helpless, because the enemy family is very strong, if you want to take revenge, you must have strength, the Yu family does not have this strength, so even the idea of revenge is slowly about to die, so he did not rely on the idea of the Yu family, and then met the master, the master also wanted to be invincible.

Therefore, he understands that if he wants to take revenge, he must take an unusual path, and this is his new flame of hope, not to mention the others, the cultivation of the mental method in the Quantitative Gong will be of great benefit to him and give him a lot of confidence, so he also has great expectations for Wuxianggong.

However, hope was shattered in an instant, how could he not be sad in his heart, looking at the ripples on the river, the fisherman rocking the boat and casting his net, and the birds wandering leisurely, Yu Shilang sighed in his heart: If there is no trace of hatred in his heart, he can live an ordinary and happy life, which is what he yearns for.

Dozens of meters behind him, a bamboo building came from the beautiful sound of the piano, and the melodious tune was played, which was comparable to that of his mother.

At the end of the piano sound, the chanting sounded again:

The green silk grew slowly, wearing red makeup in the mirror, the sound of stroking the piano, and the tears were wet;

The red leaves block my window, half of the fence and half of the frost, the wind blows the leaves and the grass is yellow, and the autumn is so sad.

Looking forward to the clear water, the blue waves are swinging, the fishing voice is singing, Weng Yu is busy building nets, the breeze is swinging layer by layer, and the mandarin ducks are playing in pairs.

How is it the old appearance, I don't see my childhood companion, where is it tonight;

The lonely geese in the sky form a line, accompany each other to the far frontier, and I am lovesick and heartfelt!

Yu Shilang listened and listened, as if he had returned to the past, when his mother leaned against the window and stroked the piano, and his father played the flute ensemble, and he was carefree when he was young.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Yu Shilang stood up and looked back, a pretty girl in a green velvet dress was standing not far behind him and looking at him with a smile.

This girl is Man Xiang, Yu Shilang had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Could it be Sister Man Xiang who stroked the qin just now?"

Man Xiang smiled and nodded, "I also happened to find Brother Shilang here in a daze, coming over to see something, making you feel like you have lost your soul." ”

Yu Shilang's mood immediately fell, he was in a daze thinking about his parents, but how did he say this.

"What are you wearing?" Yu Shilang deliberately changed the topic and pointed to Man Xiang and asked.

You must know that when you arrive at this place, the Taoist Academy has rules, and you must wear hospital clothes to travel, otherwise you will be punished for violating the rules of the hospital.

Man Xiang smiled and said, "My uncle lives here. Then he pointed to a bamboo building a few feet away behind him, and then said, "Among the six people who guarded the entrance to the forbidden forest that received us yesterday, one of the red-faced spirit warriors was my uncle. ”

Man Xiang walked to a piece of bluestone next to Yu Shilang and sat down, Yu Shilang also continued to sit back on the grass, and said in praise: "Sister Man Xiang is wearing this, but she is very beautiful!"

Man Xiang's face was slightly red, and he said shyly: "Thank you Brother Shilang for your compliment." ”

Then he said: "Actually, because my father fought on the border all the year round, when I was very young, my mother was afraid that I would be lonely, so she sent me to my uncle's house to play. ”

Man Xiang's mother and grandmother are both from the Great Qi country, and Yu Shilang knows it.

"At that time, my eldest cousin and second cousin often accompanied me to study, took me to play, and lived a very happy life, but later they both grew up and joined the army to protect the country, and I didn't stay long before returning to the country of Yuyu. ”

"Who knew that a few years later, when I heard that my eldest cousin had died in a battle at the border and was buried in a foreign country, I was so sad and sad at that time, and I was even more afraid that my father and brother would also encounter accidents, and I felt uneasy all day. ”

"I also hated myself for being a daughter, and I couldn't be like my brothers, practice martial arts, and accompany my father to fight and kill. ”

No matter what era, it is men who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and women teach their husbands and children at home, not that there are no women practicing martial arts at all, but there are too few, and they are all for self-defense, basically not to talk about serving in the army to defend the country, a group of big men, let women go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, that is a shameful thing.

Man Xiang stopped talking, gently stroked the long hair on his sideburns, glanced at Yu Shilang, and then said slowly: "Later, there was a person who made me change my thinking, prompting me to pluck up the courage and propose to my parents to enter the Taoist Academy to practice martial arts. ”

Yu Shilang asked in surprise: "Who can make Sister Manxiang's heart move?" He knew that Manxiang people were more arrogant and stubborn, if it weren't for her good relationship with Yu Yuan and Shelley, it was estimated that he and her would not even have a private conversation.

Man Xiang smiled slyly at Yu Shilang and said, "Guess?"

Yu Shilang thought for a moment and asked, "Your eldest cousin?"

Man Xiang shook his head, "The death of my eldest cousin did stimulate me, but it didn't let me break through this mental cage. ”

Yu Shilang exhaled and said, "How can I know this?"

Man Xiang smiled and said, "If I read a poem, you should be able to know." ”

Yu Shilang made a deferential look.

Man Xiang read slowly: "The pear blossoms are pretty, the wind is green, and the crows are chirping, and the birds are not seen to report spring;

The horses are whistling, the flags are waving, the blood and rain are fluttering, it is the chaos of the world, and my heart is disturbed.

I also follow the husband Lang across the horse and the sword, go with the army, and indulge me in the troubled times!"

When Yu Shilang heard it, he did immediately know that this poem was written by his mother, and his mother did not plan to go to the mountain with his father, but just said to his father that he would come back with him to the border pass, who knew that he was going to go all the way, and all the sights were miserable, so he was more worried about the safety of his husband, and made this poem, saying that he wanted to advance and retreat with his husband.

Unexpectedly, his mother turned out to be the object of worship of Man Xiang.

Man Xiang said: "I was moved by my uncle's integrity, and I was moved by their vigorous love of living and dying together, and my daughter should also be self-reliant, love if she wants to, do what she wants, dare to love and hate, and have the courage to face life and death, this is the meaning of life." ”

The relationship between the Yu family and the Manchu family is very good, and Manxiang naturally calls Yu Shilang's mother an uncle.

After listening to Man Xiang's words, Yu Shilang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, on the surface, Man Xiang seemed to be talking about some of his past, but in fact, the implication was to comfort and encourage himself.

Parents went to the mountain together, probably also knew that it was possible to face death, and they relied on their hearts, and did not retreat, resolutely rose to the edge, without fear, and they held the obsession of avenging their parents, but they were confused and at a loss several times, this is a lack of self-confidence, if the heart lacks self-confidence, what success can be talked about? Before it started, it was defeated by the enemy's strength, so how can it continue?

You should have a firm belief that no matter what, as long as you try to find every possible way to defeat the other party, you will definitely be able to defeat the other party.

Yu Shilang stood up and said to Man Xiang: "Thank you Sister Man Xiang for your kind words." ”

Man Xiang also stood up and smiled, "I see that Brother Shilang is gloomy on weekdays, and his heart seems to carry a lot of pressure, no matter how shrewd a person is, if he is carrying a big mountain on his body, he may also have times when he can't turn around, so it's a good thing to talk about my little sister's life experience, and it can help you." ”
