Venerable Tu Yuan carried Zongzheng on his back and followed Xijie to a mountain cliff, where there was a faint open hole on the cliff wall, and a steep cliff path led straight to the cave entrance.

Xijie said: "Come with me." With that, he flew along the path to the entrance of the cave, and Venerable Tu Yuan carried Zong Zheng on his back and carefully followed along the path.

Xi Jie walked into the cave very naturally, and seemed to be familiar with this place, and after Venerable Tu Yuan entered the cave, he picked up a flat and comfortable place and put down the unconscious Zongzheng.

Xijie took out the fire fold and lit a bonfire, the firelight spread through the entire cave like flowing water, and the warmth diluted the original coldness.

Xijie didn't pay much attention to Venerable Tuyuan, but went straight to Zongzheng's side, helped Zongzheng, and wanted to heal Zongzheng.

"Trouble the seniors to guard us at the entrance of the cave, I want to heal my junior brother's luck. Xi Jie said to Venerable Tu Yuan,

When Venerable Tu Yuan saw that Xi Jie wanted to heal his injuries for Zong Zheng's Yungong, he immediately stopped him and said, "It's useless, he was hit by the Water Ice Palm and the Fire Flame Palm, and forcibly using the Gong to heal his injuries will only harm him." ”

"What do you mean by what the seniors say?" Xi Jie immediately put away her hands, her face full of puzzlement, and asked,

"This fire yuan palm and even yang, water yuan palm is the yin, he suffered two kinds of internal injuries at the same time, if he forcibly exercised, although he could heal his internal injuries with internal force and true qi, but he would also go crazy because of this. "Venerable Tuyuan explained,

"Why?" Xi Jie still didn't understand, still looking at Tu Yuan Venerable in confusion.

Venerable Tu Yuan went on to explain: "If you use your True Qi to treat his internal injuries from Yin to Yang, every point of his internal injuries will increase to the True Qi of Yang and Yin in his body, and with the injuries he is suffering now, it will definitely take a lot of True Qi to heal, so that he will have two extremely strong True Qi in his body, one Yang and one Yin, you are a practitioner and you will definitely know the consequences." ”

After listening to Venerable Tu Yuan's explanation, Xi Jie suddenly realized that if it was really as Venerable Tu Yuan said, his forcible exercise to heal his junior brother would only hurt him, and he asked eagerly: "Does that senior have a way to heal him?"

Venerable Tu Yuan knew that it was powerful, and he was also a person who cultivated the Five Elements Gong, of course he knew the method of salvation, but when it came to the method of salvation, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, and he replied with a little embarrassment: "There is a way to save it, but, hey, I don't know what to say." ”

Xi Jie looked at the embarrassed appearance of Tu Yuan Venerable, and couldn't help but guess: "Is it difficult to get the medicinal materials needed for treatment?"

Venerable Tu Yuan shook his head and replied, "It's not a matter of medicinal materials. ”

Xi Jie couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked bluntly: "What is the problem? ”

Seeing Xijie's stubborn appearance, and seeing that Zongzheng was in urgent need of treatment, Venerable Tuyuan no longer concealed it, and said calmly: "Okay, I'll say it bluntly, the true qi in his body needs to be reconciled with pure yang and pure yin qi, and the way to reconcile it is to do things like men and women." ”

Xi Jie's face was gloomy after hearing this, and she asked rhetorically, "Isn't there any other way besides this method?"

"Yes. "Venerable Tuyuan replied,

"What way?" Xijie was very concerned, and cheered up again.

"The snow lotus on the Jade Snow Mountain is a miracle medicine for healing, and any incurable injury can be cured. "Venerable Tuyuan said,

"Okay, I'll go get it. Xi Jie didn't hesitate, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait! I haven't finished my sentence yet," Venerable Tu Yuan stopped in time,

Xi Jie stopped and looked at Tu Yuan Venerable suspiciously.

Venerable Tu Yuan reminded: "When you come back from the Snow Lotus, I'm afraid what you will see is the corpse of your junior brother." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Venerable Tu Yuan replied bluntly: "How long do you think your junior brother's injury can last, I dare to say, but in three days, the number of snow lotuses on this Jade Snow Mountain is scarce, and the huge Jade Snow Mountain, when will you find it, even if you find it, it will take at least five days to come back and forth." ”

The meaning of Venerable Tu Yuan was already obvious, Snow Lotus's path was not going at all, Xi Jie looked at Zong Zheng, at this moment, her mind was disordered, the fire shone on her cheeks, and her eyes were full of entanglement.

"Will doing things like men and women definitely save him?" After a long time, Xi Jie finally asked again.

"Hmm!" replied Venerable Tuyuan,

"I'm going to get her back. Xijie thought for a while, then walked out,

Venerable Tu Yuan knew who she was referring to in Xi Jie's mouth, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to stop Xi Jie and said, "I know you are trying to find the girl who is with him, but what if you find it, she has been seriously injured and her whereabouts are unknown." ”

"What then? This doesn't work, that doesn't work. "Xijie is a little messy,

Venerable Tu Yuan looked at Xi Jie with strange eyes, and through his eyes, Xi Jie saw the thoughts of Venerable Tu Yuan, "No! Absolutely not!" Xi Jie shouted,

"Cold, I'm so cold. Suddenly, Zongzheng's voice came from inside the cave, and he muttered in a daze, his face pale.

Xi Jie heard Zong Zheng's call and immediately ran to him, "Senior brother, how are you?"

Zong Zheng was confused, and only said vigorously: "Cold, I'm so cold." ”

Xijie moved Zong Zheng closer to the fire, and added more firewood to the fire one after another, and the fire gradually increased, and Zong Zheng gradually felt better, and fell asleep again.

Seeing that Zong Zhengfu was safe again, Venerable Tu Yuan reminded: "He has a seizure now, and in another hour, he will be hot all over, and then the pain will be incomparable, and so repeatedly, each time it will be worse than the last, and in two days, even the gods will not be able to save him." ”

Xijie looked calm on the surface after hearing this, but in fact, she was extremely sad and sad in her heart, and she was extremely struggling and entangled.

Venerable Tu Yuan saw the entanglement in Xi Jie's heart, he was a striking person, and he knew that she needed someone to be quiet and think about it the most at this moment, so he made an excuse and said: "I have been fighting all night, and I am a little tired, I will go to the entrance of the cave to squint for a while, and by the way, I will take the wind." Then he walked to the entrance of the cave.

Coming to the entrance of the cave, Venerable Tu Yuan casually found a place to sit cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the cool breeze blowing on the cliff wall, enjoying the rare freedom.

Xi Jie saw that Zongzheng was temporarily fine, and also felt physically and mentally exhausted, so she also sat cross-legged on the ground, stayed by Zongzheng's side, and closed her eyes.

"It's hot, it's hot, I'm hot. But after an hour's effort, Zong Zheng suddenly let out a burst of shouts.

Xijie was awakened by Zongzheng's shouting, and saw a lot of hot sweat on his forehead, and kept chanting: "It's hot, it's hot." Then he touched his forehead with his hand, it was extremely hot, and for a while, Xijie was at a loss.

Zongzheng's lips were dry and white, his expression was very painful, Xijie saw Zongzheng's uncomfortable appearance, and his heart was also uncomfortable, so he could only move Zongzheng to the cold place of the cave, take the kettle, pour the water on his right hand, and turn the water into cold ice, and then put the ice cube on Zongzheng's forehead.

Xi Jie refined several pieces of cold ice in succession to suppress the heat on Zong Zheng's body, and when the warmth on his body dissipated, he fell asleep peacefully.

Venerable Tu Yuan had been paying attention to Xi Jie's every move outside, and when he saw that Zong Zheng had fallen asleep peacefully, he slowly walked into the cave, looked at Xi Jie, and said politely: "Girl, I have a few questions in my heart, I wonder if the girl can answer them for me? If the girl doesn't want to answer, I won't force it." ”

Xi Jie had long expected that Venerable Tu Yuan would sooner or later be unable to hold back the questions in his heart, so he politely replied: "Senior is polite, but it doesn't hurt to ask, as long as I can answer, I will answer." ”

Seeing that Xijie was also a straightforward person, Venerable Tu Yuan asked bluntly: "The first question, why do the girl and I only meet for the first time, but why do you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will harm you while you are healing that kid?"

Xi Jie smiled, and then replied: "I know the past of my predecessor and your four senior brothers, so I know that my senior is an honest and loyal person, so I believe in you, and as my predecessor said, you didn't take advantage of my unpreparedness to sneak attack me, so I can only be more at ease with my senior." ”

"Well, that's reasonable, then the second question, who is the Venerable Master, why do you know my Master's name?"

Xi Jie knew the past of Venerable Tu Yuan, understood his temperament and personality, so he replied truthfully: "My master is Yuan Ji Zhenren, and he and your master have been old friends for many years. ”

Venerable Tu Yuan couldn't help but secretly wonder, Master Venerable has such a friend, how come I don't know about this? Instead, he asked the third question, "Third question, does Venerable Master really know about the death hole of our Five Yuan Venerable? How come I have never heard my master mention the matter of death hole?"

"Actually, this is what I made up, there is no such thing as a death cave at all, and my master passed away a few years ago. Xi Jie replied,

Venerable Tu Yuan immediately came to his senses, "Oh, I see, at that time, the girl just wanted to bluff my senior brothers, so that we could get out of trouble." ”

"Exactly, I hope that my predecessors will continue to keep this secret. Xijie responded,

"This is natural, the girl really has both beauty and wisdom, I admire. "Venerable Tu Yuan praised,

"The seniors are overrated. Xi Jie replied modestly, her eyes unconsciously falling on Zong Zheng again.

After a pause, Venerable Tu Yuan continued: "If the girl feels that it is inconvenient to answer this last question, she does not have to answer it. ”

"Senior, let's hear it. ”

Venerable Tu Yuan stroked the beard on his chin, "I am a clear-eyed person, I can see at a glance that the relationship between the girl and your junior brother is far from being as simple as that of a senior sister and brother, but the girl likes your junior brother?"

This question was unexpected by Xi Jie, for a while, she didn't know how to answer, she looked at Zongzheng with affectionate eyes, and sadness appeared on her face, "What if I like it, he doesn't have me in his heart at all, only her." ”

"Then does he know that you like him?" asked Venerable Tu Yuan in a low voice,

Xi Jie fell silent, this was the most difficult question for her to answer, because she didn't know it herself.

Everyone in the world is trapped by love, and Venerable Tu Yuan, who has already seen through the ups and downs of the world, can't help but sigh: "How can you get a love word?"

He slowly walked out of the cave again, looking out at the vast starfield.
