Chapter 4: The Pavilion of Ming Yao
At night, it is often a paradise for the lonely, many people can't sleep, not because they don't feel sleepy, just because they don't want to sleep, and the same is true for Qin He lying on the bed, at this time, a lot of things flashed in his mind, Qin He thought of his father again, every time he thought of his father, Qin He would shed tears of heartache, and his master Xiang Qing, Qin He thought a lot, but, in addition to these, Qin He's mind flashed more Xiang Ye'er, for some reason, since he saw Xiang Ye'er, her figure has been lingering in Qin He's mind, he is really eager to see Xiang Ye'er again, but he is very afraid to see herRecalling Xiang Ye'er's appearance, the corners of Qin He's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile. As the night got deeper and deeper, Qin He finally entered the dream fragrance unconsciously.
At this time, not long after Qin He had just entered Mengxiang, in a secret room of the Heavenly Saint Sect, a man and a woman were talking about something in a whisper in the secret room, only to see the woman in it whispering:
"Husband, in this way, the Shengying fruit was eaten by your apprentice, then wouldn't your chance to break through the Hidden Dragon Mirror ......."
"Hmph, what apprentice, he's just another Saint Ying Fruit of mine!, how could I, Xiang Qing, accept a mortal as an apprentice for no reason, let alone a mortal without a spiritual root!", listening to the woman's words, the man replied with a sneer.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" the woman asked with a puzzled expression.
"Hehe, did Madam ever know that the Shengying Pill? When the Shengying Fruit is completely absorbed by his flesh and blood, then I will use his flesh and blood to refine the medicine, compared to the Shengying Fruit, the effect of the Shengying Pill is better, so I don't have any loss, but if I want him to fully absorb the medicinal effect of the Shengying Fruit, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."
"Husband, although he is just a mortal, but refining medicine with a living person may hurt the heavens and peace, and I am only afraid that my husband's Dao heart will ...... at that time."
"What is there to be afraid of! The cultivation realm is a world of the weak and the strong, and if you can't break through the hidden dragon realm, how can you expel the cold poison in your body, and Elder Liu, they have always been eyeing the position of my sect master, if there is no breakthrough in cultivation, how can they be able to suppress them, Madam doesn't need to say more, and besides, this matter, except for you and me, you must not let the third person know about it......."
As the man spoke, he showed a grim face, and the woman next to him couldn't help but feel a deep fear in her heart when she saw his appearance.
"Hehe, good apprentice, let Xiao Lao help you lay your physical body first, and then send you a few superior exercises for cultivating your physical body, and wait for the day when the Saint Ying Fruit in your body is completely absorbed, that is, when I break through the Hidden Dragon Realm, hahaha!"
............
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Qin He opened his hazy eyes, this night, Qin He slept very peacefully, not only stable, Qin He also had a beautiful dream, Qin He dreamed of Xiang Ye'er, dreamed of sitting on the edge of the cliff with her to enjoy the beautiful sunset, the two leaned on each other's shoulders, Qin He never felt so happy and happy, but after waking up, Qin He found that it was a dream, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. At this time, he was completely sleepy, and Qin He remembered that Master Xiang Qing was going to take him to Xiao Lao's place, so he hurriedly got up and went to the ground, cleaned up and went to wash.
After washing, Qin He sat on the bed and waited quietly, about half an hour later, when the sky was already bright, Qin He heard a sound of footsteps at the door, and then a woman's voice came:
"Qin Gongzi, are you awake?"
Hearing the voice, Qin He felt a little strange, and hurriedly opened the door, it was a sister with a good appearance.
"May I ask my sister, are you?Why didn't my master come?", after Qin He opened the door, he didn't see his master Xiang Qing, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Childe don't worry, I am the maid sent by the sect master to serve you, since you have already packed up, then I will take you to dinner first, and after the son has eaten, I will go to see the sect master." Looking at Qin He's puzzled look, the woman explained with a smile.
Hearing this sister say that he was going to take himself to dinner, Qin He couldn't help but feel a little hungry, Qin He hadn't eaten a decent full meal for a long time in his memory, Qin He nodded to the sister in front of him, and went to eat with the maid.
After eating, Qin He was taken to the door of a large hall, Qin He looked up at the main hall, this hall is majestic and magnificent, tall and majestic, there are two huge golden pillars in front of the main hall, and there is a huge golden dragon coiled on each golden pillar, opening its teeth and dancing claws, which is very spectacular.
"Good style", Qin He said secretly in his heart.
"Son, go in, the sect master is waiting for you in the hall", seeing that Qin He had been looking at the palace in front of him, the maid who took Qin He to eat couldn't help but say.
Hearing the reminder of his sister next to him, Qin He nodded at her with a shy smile, raised his feet and walked towards the palace. A moment later, Qin He came to the main hall, and as soon as he reached the main hall, Qin He heard a burst of laughter:
"Hahaha, vain, how did you sleep last night?
Qin He looked up and saw that Master Xiang Qing was sitting on a jade chair in the center of the main hall, looking at him with a smile.
Seeing the master, Qin He only felt a burst of kindness in his heart, Qin He hurriedly knelt down and saluted Xiang Qing:
"The apprentice visited the master, and the apprentice slept well last night and didn't feel anything uncomfortable."
"Well, that's good, apprentice, then I'll take you to see Xiao Lao, and I just happened to tell you about Xiao Lao's situation on the way." Xiang Qing said as he got up from the jade chair, slowly walked to Qin He's side, and pulled Qin He out of the palace.
In the Heavenly Saint Sect, it is forbidden for everyone to fly with the sword, even the sect master, this is the rule set by the ancestor of the Heavenly Saint Sect himself, I don't know why this ancestor set such a strange rule when he founded the Heavenly Saint Sect, because the Heavenly Saint Sect is very large, if you don't rely on flying, it often takes a long time to go to other places, but with the passage of time, people have long forgotten this regulation of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
"Apprentice, this Xiao Lao we want to see is the only pharmacist in the Heavenly Saint Sect, although he is a mortal, but he has the medical skills to bring the dead back to life, when your master accidentally contracted cold poison, even I was helpless, and in the end, thanks to this Xiao Lao, I was able to save a life, what is even more rare is that Xiao Lao is not only proficient in medical skills, but also has high achievements in the art of body refining, and many disciples in our sect who have achieved success in body refining are because they have received his guidance", Xiang Qing said to Qin He beside him as he walked.
Listening to Xiang Qing's words, Qin He unconsciously had a burst of doubts in his heart, it turned out that this Xiao Lao was also a mortal, but since he was well versed in the art of body refining, why didn't he cultivate it, thinking of this, Qin He couldn't help but say to Xiang Qing:
"Master, since this Xiao Lao is proficient in the art of body refining, why is he still a mortal?"
"Hehe, don't you know, this Xiao Lao was originally an outer deacon of our Heavenly Saint Sect, of course, in the eyes of mortals, he is also a top master, he has worked hard for the sect for most of his life, and then he is considered to be an old man, and by chance he worshiped under an immortal disciple, in addition to medical skills, he also got some inheritance on the body refining, but unfortunately Xiao Lao was nearly half a hundred years old at that time, and the body refining needed to rely on the strength of the body, at that time, Xiao Lao's body had begun to age and decay, so even if he was proficient in the way of body refining, he could not achieve any great achievements on the road of cultivating immortals, and later, in order to thank him for his life-saving grace to your masterI built a mansion for him in the sect, and I have been living there ever since." Xiang Qing explained to Qin He.
Listening to Xiang Qing's words, Qin He couldn't help but suddenly realize that although this Xiao Lao was a mortal like himself, he had such a great ability, which was really admirable.
The two of them talked as they walked, but after a while, Xiang Qing suddenly stopped, and with a touch of heavenly spirit, a long sword came out, and then he said to Qin He:
"There is still a distance from Xiao Laona here, if you go on like this, it will take at least a few hours, in order to reach Xiao Lao as soon as possible, I will give you a ride as a teacher", as he spoke, Xiang Qing pulled Qin He onto the spirit sword, and in a few breaths, the two of them disappeared in the sky.
Just after the time of burning incense, Qin He faintly heard a roar, after Xiang Qing turned a few corners, a waterfall appeared in front of Qin He's eyes, looking at it from a distance, it was like a shining silver ribbon, inlaid between the green mountains, dazzling and eye-catching, the closer to the waterfall, the louder the roar, the waterfall tilted down from the top of the mountain, hitting the surrounding rocks, like flying flowers and broken jade, under the sunlight, it was so beautiful.
Crossing the waterfall, a small lake came into view, the lake water was extremely clear, Qin He even saw the fish swimming in the lake, the flowing water as a companion, the swimming fish as a friend, and then admired the surrounding green trees and mountain flowers, as well as bursts of birdsong filled the valley, Qin He only felt that he had entered a fairyland, and his heart instantly felt extremely happy, just as Qin He was still unconsciously reminiscing about the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xiang Qing's voice suddenly came from his side:
"Apprentice, we have arrived", Xiang Qing said, and slowly increased his speed, and in a few breaths, he landed on the ground with Qin He.
After landing, Qin He saw a tall attic not far ahead, and there were three distinct big characters written on the attic: Ming Medicine Pavilion, for some reason, seeing these three words, Qin He actually felt a sense of comfort in his heart, and some distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared in an instant. In addition to the attic, there were several small houses that looked extremely simple next to it, one of which was still emitting green smoke, and Qin He seemed to smell an inexplicable fragrance.
"Hehe, it seems that Xiao Lao is refining medicine again, let's wait here for a while." Looking at the small house with green smoke not far in front of him, Xiang Qing whispered with a smile to Qin He beside him.
