The Palace of Despair, full of smoke and clouds, is the highest place in Qingcheng Mountain, unchanged for eternity.

Legend has it that the patriarch of Qingcheng can establish a faction here, and has an inseparable relationship here, and now it is the residence of the heads of the past dynasties, it is difficult to imagine that on the top of this mountain, there will be such an ancient hall, standing immortal.

"呲~~呲~~" Mo Li stood at the door and whistled gently, and after a while, Wan Ling appeared in front of the temple door, welcoming the two of them inside, Mo Li was obviously very familiar with this place, along the way they chattered and didn't listen, and Yuan Qi quietly followed behind, came to a relatively unfamiliar place, and tried to talk as little as possible, it was his consistent style, for Wan Ling, although Yuan Qi had less contact, he knew that his personality was straightforward, and Mo Ti was very similar.

Compared with the Law Enforcement Hall, the Hall of Absolute Affection has an extra immortal aura, and it is more like a hermit's abode that does not fall into the red dust. There is an open space under the towering steps, and a few stone tables and stone benches are placed at will, which is where Senior Sister Wan Ting and her usual practice are.

Ahead, Wan Qian sat cross-legged, swallowing the aura of heaven and earth, and Yuan Qi felt that since he came back, his realm had broken through again.

"Senior Brother Yuan, are your injuries healed!" Wan Qian opened his eyes and found Yuan Qi.

"I'm fine, thank you Senior Brother Wan!" Yuan Qi hurriedly responded, he still admired Wan Qian very much.

"Senior brother, if Senior Brother Yuan is looking at the flowers and plants in the backyard!" Ling'er turned around and interjected.

Yuan Qi's face was hot, and he hurriedly corrected: "It's research! Under the circumstances, my understanding of flowers and plants is limited to books, and many strange flowers and plants are only famous, and I have never seen them, so I can't help but come to the door to ask for advice!"

"Senior Brother Yuan, you are too polite!" Wan Qian said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter, it just so happens that I have just finished my homework today, so I will take you there." ”

"Then thank you Senior Brother Wan!" Yuan Qi smiled awkwardly.

Under the leadership of Wan Qian, after a while, Yuan Qi came to a garden, which was densely populated with flowers and plants, and there were so many types that he opened his eyes and hurriedly opened the Hundred Flowers Record to confirm them one by one.

Seeing that Yuan Qi was so serious, Wan Qian and the others did not bother, and let him walk around at will, I have to say that this garden is very large, almost occupying one-third of the area of the Palace of Despair, and the winding stone pebble path is interspersed with it, Yuan Qi devoted himself to research, and soon separated from them.

Suddenly, a little girl burst out, making Yuan Qi stunned for a moment, and asked, "Xue Rong, why are you here?"

Xue Rong was also stunned, and before she could respond, she heard Wan Ting's voice from another intersection: "Edelweiss, don't run around, it's easy to get lost here!"

Wan Ting chased the edelweiss, and when she saw Yuan Qi again, she was also stunned!

"Senior sister, it's been good lately!" Yuan Qi smiled slightly, and took the initiative to say hello, she hadn't seen Wan Ting for many days, she was still so dusty, her white clothes were dotted, her long black hair was gathered and her earlobes were even more delicate and moving.

"Very good, Senior Brother Yuan, why did you get here!" Wan Ting put away her embarrassment and asked rhetorically.

"It was all souls who brought me here. For some reason, when he saw Wan Ting again, Yuan Qi suddenly panicked.

"Is your injury healed?" Wan Ting asked with concern, "It's been all the past few days, and I've been clamoring for me to bring her to the Palace of Despair every day, and I don't have time to see you!"

"It's much better, I'm idle in the Sword Pavilion, I heard that there are many flowers and plants in these, so I'll come and take a look. Yuan Qi touched Edelweiss's head, "Edelweiss, are you still used to coming to Qingcheng!"

"En, get used to it, it's just that I haven't seen Master for many days, and I miss it in my heart!" Edelweiss's bright big eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom from time to time.

"What master, I'm just a beginner disciple now, but I'm not qualified to accept apprentices!" Yuan Qi said with a smile.

"Don't, I want Brother Yuan to be my master!" Xue Rong said.

"Edelweiss, don't mess around, your brother Yuan is injured!" Wan Ting scolded.

"I know Sister Ting!" Edelweiss pouted, "I'll go play with Sister Mo Li!"

Edelweiss ran away, and there were only two people left, Yuan Qi and Wan Ting.

"What are you doing!" Wan Ting saw Yuan Qi gesturing with a book.

"There are really all kinds of flowers and plants here, many of which I have only seen in books, and now there are real things to compare and contrast, which is really eye-opening. Yuan Qi raised the hundred flowers and said.

Wan Ting nodded: "Master likes to collect all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and he has also run a lot of places for this!"

"Hey, isn't this barren grass!" Yuan Qi pointed to a strange grass on the ground and analyzed, "Barren grass grows in the wilderness of 100,000 mountains, and the head of the family even has this!"

"This is exactly when Master went to the wilderness before, and transplanted it!" Wan Ting explained.

Yuan Qi was surprised: "The head of the sect has even been to the wilderness, and I heard that it is thousands of miles away from Qingcheng Mountain!"

"This, I just heard my senior brother mention it!" Wan Ting recalled.

"Wild!" Yuan Qi suddenly remembered something.

"What's wrong?" Wan Ting asked.

Yuan Qi smiled mysteriously and said secretly: "Senior sister, I will tell you a secret, which is about my master. ”

"Elder Sword, what secrets can you have?" Wan Ting wondered.

"According to my guess, my master is likely to come from the wilderness!" Yuan Qi whispered.

"Why!" Wan Ting asked rhetorically.

"Do you think, the barbarian is sturdy and addicted to alcohol, my master is completely in line, especially the way he drinks, even if he has been integrated into the Central Plains for so many years, it is still difficult to get rid of this problem!" Yuan Qi described it in a dignified manner.

Wan Ting made up for Tuke's appearance, and finally nodded: "What you said is really possible!"

Yuan Qizheng said energetically, and suddenly frowned his nose: "What kind of smell is this!"

Yuan Qi followed the smell, walked through several intersections, and saw an ink-colored flower.

"I discovered and transplanted this by accident, and I still don't know its name, only that the smell it exudes can help people cultivate!" Wan Ting followed, explaining.

Yuan Qi leaned over and sniffed carefully, sure enough, he was refreshed, the aura in his body was inexplicably restless, he looked through the hundred flowers, and said suspiciously: "It's really a strange thing, there is no record of it in the books at all!

"It's next to the Full Moon Ancient Well!" Wan Ting said, "Master has been observing it all the time. ”

The things that make the head pay attention to them are not simple, Yuan Qi couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Brother Yuan, come and see!" Suddenly, on the other side, Mo Li's voice came.

The two glanced at each other, hurriedly ran over, and saw Mo Li standing in front of a flower the size of a man.

"What a big flower!" Edelweiss opened her arms and hugged her, her small body could only encompass a radius.

Yuan Qi looked at it carefully, this flower was very strange, the petals were closed, and the stamens inside were tightly wrapped, and the height of this flower was just above Yuan Qi's shoulders, he simply measured it, and judged: "This should be the love flower!"

"Absolute Love Flower!" Wan Ling and Wan Qian walked from the other direction.

According to the book, the love flower grows on Penglai Island, which is surrounded by the sea and the land is moist, which is the most suitable for this flower. Yuan raised his nose and sniffed the petals, "The sea water is relatively salty, so the taste of the love flower is also a kind of seawater in the fragrance!"

"Why is it called a love tweed!" Mo Li took the hundred flowers record from Yuan Qi's hand and flipped it up.

Yuan Qi glanced at Mo Li, and said slowly: "This is the name given by the Penglai sect, it is said that the practice of Penglai is the most taboo emotion, you see that the petals of this love flower are tightly wrapped around the stamen, not giving any chance to spread pollen, it is unique in itself, which is consistent with Penglai's teachings, so there is the name of the love flower!"

"If you can't spread pollen, won't it be gone if you thank you!" Wan Ling wondered, she had stayed in the Hall of Despair since she was a child, and she had never looked at it carefully.

"Found it!" Mo Li found an introduction to the Absolute Love Flower from the Hundred Flowers Record, and read, "There is a set of techniques recorded here that can make the petals open and gush out the stamens!"

Others were amazed, and this kind of technique was unheard of.

"It's so complicated! Left and right, up and down!" Mo Li gestured while reading the book, "Brother Yuan, will you!"

Yuan Qi smiled slightly: "Actually, this technique is not very difficult, first of all, we must understand the meridians of flowers, which is like people, people have acupoints and meridians." The same is true of the love flower, as long as you recognize this, then the other problems will be solved......!

Under everyone's eyes, Yuan Qi put his fingers together and pointed at the huge flower path, as the book says, fast and slow, seemingly chaotic, but it seems to be very rhythmic, the huge petals actually opened slowly, and countless stamens sprayed in the air.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Mo Li and Wan Ling's eyes were full of little stars, and the edelweiss was dancing in the rain of flowers!

Yuan Qi wiped her sweat and smiled at Wan Ting, Wan Ting felt it, and Yuan Qi looked at each other, her face was red, and she hurriedly looked away, looking at the flower rain flying in the air, she opened her palm, and the petals fell into her palm, and she laughed happily, adding a little intoxication to this flower rain.

Yuan Qi looked away, the love flower became incomparably beautiful at this moment, and the surrounding flowers and plants were compared. For a moment, everyone stared at the flowers, fascinated.

However, it didn't last long, and the open petals finally closed slowly.

"I didn't expect that there are such beautiful flowers in the world!" Wan Ting opened her mouth to praise, looking at the closed petals, but said with some regret, "It's a pity that this flower name is a little unsatisfactory!"

"The meaning of this flower is different depending on the individual's understanding!" Yuan Qi said.

"What Senior Brother Yuan said is reasonable!" Wan Qian nodded in agreement, "Desperation may be just one of the solutions to this flower. The key is to look at personal understanding. ”

As he spoke, Wan Qian suddenly felt something, and when he turned around, he saw a figure slowly coming, it was the spirit of protecting the Dharma.

"The boss wants you to go to the Palace of Despair for dinner!" Feng Liu's face was rude, and he dropped a sentence, and left without waiting for a response.

Several people looked at each other, all puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Feeling that the atmosphere was wrong, Yuan Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Master's cultivation has already reached the realm of not eating grains, and he has never eaten for many years, and today I don't know why!" Wan Ling said the doubts in his heart.

"Since Master has commanded, let's just go!" Wan Qian said.

Yuan Qi's heart was very confused, just now the Wind Spirit Protector glanced back at him, which made him uncomfortable, and said, "I'd better go back!"

Wan Qian shook his head: "Since the Dharma Protector is here, Master must also know that we are here!

"It's okay!" Wan Ting comforted, "Don't look at the master being so strict in the main hall, in fact, he is still very kind to us in private!"

"Brother Yuan, let's go and have a look!" Mo Li really wanted to see where the head of the family lived.

"Okay then!" Seeing everyone like this, Yuan Qi could only nod.

The Palace of Desperation is a general term, in fact, the most important thing is the residence of the head of the house, it is said that there are many secrets hidden there, the last time Yuan Qi came here in a coma, he was not impressed, deep in his heart, he was still full of curiosity about this palace.

Walking into the hall, what catches your eye is a big Taiji diagram, hanging high on the wall, and more than a dozen futons below are neatly placed, and in front of you, a few high incense sticks are lit there.

"It's all here!" Wan Qing was dressed in civilian clothes, his face was gentle, and when he was in the Shangqing Palace, he judged the two of them, especially when he saw Yuan Qi, a smile actually leaked from his face, "Come on, come on, let's eat!"

"Disciple Yuan Qi, see the real person in charge!" The head is like this, but Yuan Qi doesn't dare, the etiquette is indispensable.

"Hehe, you're welcome, coming here is like coming to your own home, don't be inhibited!" Wan Qing motioned for everyone to sit at the table, where the food had already been prepared.

Seeing that the head of the house was like this, several people were secretly surprised in their hearts, only Wan Ling was very bold, stretched out his little hand and gently touched Wan Qing's head, and asked, "Hey!!Master!No fever! What's wrong today, you actually want to eat with us!"

"Ling'er, don't mess around!" Wan Qing pressed down Ling'er's little hand, motioned for her to sit down, looked at Yuan Qi and asked, "Last time you were seriously injured, how is it now?"

"Thank you for your concern, except for not being able to use spiritual power, everything else is fine!" Yuan Qi couldn't figure out the temper of this master.

Wan Qing nodded, personally checked Yuan Qi's pulse, and said slowly: "This time you are deeply poisoned, and the most important thing is that there is a force that imprisons your Qi Jing Eight Veins, it seems that your master has been spending a lot of time on you recently!"

Listening to Wan Qingyi's words, Yuan Qi realized that the master sent spiritual power to himself every day so that he could break through that imprisonment as soon as possible!

"You don't have to worry, this confinement can be broken sooner or later!" Wan Qing comforted and motioned for everyone to eat.

"Master!" Wan Ting suddenly remembered something and asked, "In a few days, the annual Immortal Sword Conference in the door will begin, how can Senior Brother Yuan participate in such a situation!"

"This matter is indeed very tricky, but the key lies in Yuan Qi himself, although the external force is also possible, but it is still far inferior to himself!" Wan Qing said, "You can use this confinement as a kind of training, if you can break through it by yourself, the benefits you can get are unimaginable to outsiders!"

"It's better to go with the flow!" Yuan nodded: "The Fairy Sword Conference is not so important to me,"

Wan Qing looked at Yuan Qi and said in his heart: "This disciple is really a little like him!"

Although Yuan Qi was stared at, he always felt that the head of the Dao seemed to be thinking about other things, and he boldly asked, "Dare to ask the master, but what's the matter?"

Wan Qing came back to his senses and suddenly asked, "How is your master?"

"Master, his old man has been going out a lot lately, and occasionally at night, he will drink alone in the courtyard!" Yuan Qi didn't think about it, so he responded. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong, didn't the master come to the Palace of Despair to discuss things with the head of the house every day, so why did the head ask so much.

Wan Qing took out a booklet from his arms, Yuan Qi looked very familiar, and saw that there were four big characters written on the booklet, "Yunxiao Nine Styles" and asked excitedly: "Master, do you know Uncle Gu?"

Wan Qing nodded: "Your Gu uncle is actually my junior brother, I haven't seen him for many years in Qingcheng because of some things, and this Yunxiao Nine Style was given to him by your master when he was apprenticed to learn art!"

"So that's the case, no wonder!" Yuan Qi was shocked, "Uncle Gu, he only taught me the Nine Styles of the Clouds, as for the other luck methods, I only came into contact with them after I started!"

"Actually, it's my fault for what happened back then, where have you been all these years?" Wan Qing recalled some things and was very regretful.

Yuan Qi thought for a while and responded: "Uncle Gu is a little decadent, he often sits alone in the courtyard and drinks stuffy wine, I have lived with him in Bodhi Village since I was a child!"

"Bodhi Village?" Wan Qingleng paused, "It turns out that the distance is so close, so what about him now?"

Yuan Qi shook his head: "I don't know, he left me a letter and left! Yuan Qi took out the letter from his arms and handed it over.

Wan Qing glanced at the letter, this is indeed the font of the junior brother, and the people next to him suddenly realized, no wonder the head of the family is like this today.

Ling'er blinked her eyes and said mischievously, "So we should call him Senior Brother Yuan?"

"Don't don't, don't!" Yuan panicked: "Uncle Gu didn't actually teach me anything, the only thing he taught me was this set of swordsmanship, the word senior brother, don't dare to take it!"

"Let's call it Senior Brother, Yuan Qi is actually the same generation as you, and he is older than both of you!" Wan Qing said to Wan Ting and Wan Ling.

Ling'er stuck out her tongue and shouted at Yuan Qiruo: "Hello Senior Brother Yuan!"

"Senior Brother Yuan, give me a lot of advice!" Wan Ting's voice also came, which made Yuan Qi sweat all over.

"Senior Brother Yuan, unfortunately I'm older than you, it seems that I haven't changed!" Wan Qian also showed a rare smile, and the others also laughed.

"It's all senior brothers and sisters, in my opinion, there is no difference at all!" Mo Li muttered, and the fruit fruit next to him flew out on its own, stood on the table, and ate the fruit.

"Mo Li, where is your home!" Wan Qing stared at Guoguo twice.

"My house is close to the sea, it is a small village, and my adoptive father and mother make a living by fishing!" Mo said.

"With such an auspicious body as an elf, you are by no means a child of an ordinary family!" Wan Qing said affirmatively.

"Old man, what are you talking nonsense!" Guo Guo was afraid that Mo Li would be sad, and said vaguely.

"Guoguo, don't talk nonsense!" Mo Li hurriedly interrupted Guoguo and asked, "Does the head know my parents?"

Wan Qing thought about it carefully and said: "Many years ago, when Penglai was still there, I befriended Penglai Zun, so I knew that elves were auspicious, and only Penglai would have them in the past dynasties. ”

"Could it be that Mo Li's parents are from Penglai?" asked Yuan Qi.

"This is just speculation, there are no absolutes in everything! It may also be her personality or other reasons that can have elves with her!" Wan Qing shook his head, a little puzzled.

"Mo Li, don't think about it, things will come to light one day!" Yuan Qi put a chicken leg in Mo Li's bowl and comforted.

"Well, I know!" After so many years, Mo Li has already seen it.

In the evening, there was not much food left on the table, Yuan Qi got up and was about to leave, and at this time, Wan Ting insisted on sending it, and Mo Li could only return to the Law Enforcement Hall with Edelweiss.

In the air, Wan Ting's white clothes fluttered, which made Yuan Qi a little intoxicated, and he wanted to be like this every day, but on the other hand, Wan Ting, for some reason, her face was always restless, and after a while, she returned to the Sword Pavilion.

"Senior sister, do you have something on your mind?" asked Yuan Qi.

A jade pendant appeared in front of her, the jade pendant glowed with a faint green glow, reflecting on Wan Ting's face, adding a charm to Wan Ting, her face was a little struggling, as if she had made some decision, and handed the jade pendant back to Yuan Qi, she lowered her head, did not dare to look at Yuan Qi's eyes, and said: "Senior Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, I can't accept this gift!"

Yuan Qi stared at the jade pendant, the emotional water flowed in it, as if to tell something, wisps of blue light appeared on the moving figure in front of him, for a moment, he seemed to understand something, although regretful, but still reluctantly smiled, pressed back the hands, and said: "Take it! Okay, this is your birthday gift, there is no other meaning, no matter what, I still have an extra junior sister today, you can't help but treat me as a senior brother!" Yuan Qi turned around, not wanting Wan Ting to see his lost face at this time.

Wan Ting looked at Yuan Qi's back, feeling that she was drifting away from him, and suddenly regretted her decision, thought about it again and again, and finally took Moonlight Pei into her arms.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan!" Wan Ting said in a low voice, "Farewell!"

Wan Ting left, and after a long time, Yuan Qi turned his head and looked at the floating shadow in the air, and was silent for a long time.
