The words say:

A little ingenuity, a little ingenuity, and a lot of whimsy. The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the bright moon shines on the high platform. Looking at the stars from afar, there is little self-hatred, and it is amazing. The first time I came to Yan, I returned to Hongyan, and spring went to autumn again.

In a daze, sitting alone and cold, for a long time, not allowed to wander. Ren Liunian is like water, and his sleeves are born. Carry the dantian Haoqi, to the chest, and sing and express your feelings. Cultivating the dream of immortals, looking at the front of the steps, there is moss. - "Man Tingfang"

Everyone returned all the way back to the Holy City of Confucianism, got off the wind chasing spirit boat, and the Nine Elders took Li Shijian and said goodbye to the master and apprentice of Wanfa Pavilion and Elder Yan San's father and daughter.

At the time of parting, the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion Divine Sense sent a message to the Nine Elders: "Elder Guan, I always feel that the Snow Charm King gave Master Li and nephew an Ice Spirit Silver Lotus King Flower in vain, which seems to be inappropriate, I hope that the Poet Sword Master and Nephew will concentrate on cultivation in the future, and not be vainly emotional, after all, that Snow Charm is a demon and not a human." ”

Hey, Wanfa Pavilion thought that Li Shijian might be charmed by the white-clothed demon girl who was transformed by the snow charm, maybe Li Shijian was really planted with that "blood Gu love seed", otherwise, why would the demon cultivator give him something for nothing?

It was difficult for Li Shijian to hear this in Wanfa Pavilion, but it made the Nine Elders' hearts can't help but add a shadow to their hearts. After hearing the words of the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion, the Nine Elders asked, "Sect Master Wan, could it be that this poison is unsolvable?"

Wan Fa Ting said: "About kill the poisoned snow ghost, you can be cured, and even if it is planted with this poison, as long as you don't think about it from now on, after a few years, this poison will be automatically cured." ”

After hearing this, the Ninth Elder was at ease in his heart, and of course, he also told Li Shijian about this method of cracking.

When Li Shijian said goodbye to Fairy Ruyu and Zhu Ziwu, he both said to Li Shijian, "Three years later, where will you see you in the Ancient Realm!"

Li Shijian smiled and waved his hand, and also said, "See the ancient domain realm", and followed the Nine Elders to board the Wind Chasing Spirit Boat and fly straight in the direction of Mingzong Azure City.

Along the way, the Nine Elders asked Li Shijian many times, if there was any unusual feeling, Li Shijian secretly operated his own Immortal Family Spirit Dao True Yuan, Zhou Tian operated, there was no trace of abnormality at all, and he told the truth.

The Nine Elders let out a long breath, and then they were relieved.

Not long after, the Wind Chasing Spirit Ship flew to Azure City, and when it landed, it was seen that the Great Array of the Protector of the General Altar of Azure City had sealed a Azure City tightly.

The Nine Elders immediately summoned the Great Elder Zong Ken, saying that he had taken Li Shijian with him and had already picked the Ice Spirit Silver Lotus, and was about to rush back to the six cities in the northeast.

Not long after, the gate of the Azure City Protective Array opened, and Li Shijian followed the Nine Elders into the city and went to the City Lord's Mansion. Sect Master Lei Ren was not there, and he went to the imperial capital Shenjing and did not return, the nine elders met with Zong Ken, and when it came to going to the Western Wilderness Snow Region to pick the ice spirit silver lotus, Li Shijian learned the section of Confucianism's "Haoran Righteous Qi Formula" without mentioning it, and only talked about the encounter with the snow charm, Zong Ken listened to it and said:

"The situation of the snow ghost, we are far away and know very little, and it is a blessing that Shijian was not planted by that demon cultivator. However, recently, the Master of the Heart Mirror has made great progress in refining! Shijian, you might as well stay in the main altar and learn the way of refining again. ”

When Li Shijian heard this, he couldn't make his own decisions, so he looked at the Ninth Elder.

Elder Nine said with a smile: "Shijian has not fallen behind in theoretical knowledge, what is missing is only practice, however, in terms of refining the magic weapon of the space Dao weapon, when Shijian followed me, he hadn't learned the hand, so it was better for us to stay for a day, and after learning this from Elder Tang, we would go back to my Mingjing City." Naturally, I will prepare a practice venue for Shijian over there. ”

When the Ninth Elder said this, he had already begun to conceive in his heart, to choose a venue in his own City Lord's Mansion, and then ask Ling Jun to assist in building a fire control field, it didn't need to be big, as long as there was a group of Nine Palace Fire Control Arrays......

At that time, Shi Jian was by his side, he could learn the way of refining at any time, and he could give guidance at any time, he must work hard to make Shi Jian advance to the seventh rank of the Spirit Dao within three years! Thinking of this, the Nine Elders smiled meaningfully.

Seeing that Elder Nine was smiling quite proudly, Zong Ken smiled and asked, "Old Nine, why are you so proud?"

The Ninth Elder smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that when I think of cultivating the Poetry Sword to the seventh order of the Spirit Dao within three years, it is both pressure and expectation, and my heart is excited!"

Zong Ken smiled and said, "Lao Jiu, are you happy for this? Let me tell you, Elder Tang has already proposed to the sect master that the next step is to use the space magic weapon refined by this sect to hold the fire, and at the same time use it for refining, so that it can reduce the trouble for his disciples to learn the way of refining." ”

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Sect Boss, do you want to be specific?" ”

Zong Ken said with a smile: "Gu Xiu said, it is to refine a new type of tripod, the lower part of this tripod is a magic weapon space, just put the fire into it, then, the person who owns this tripod can not be limited by the site, and can refine the Dao weapon anytime and anywhere!"

Hearing this, the Ninth Elder asked in surprise, "This design is simply wonderful! Who came up with the trick? Is it Elder Tang?"

Elder Tang was naturally the original Hall Master Tang Rong, and now he had been promoted to elder.

Zong Ken said with a smile: "This trick is a joint design of Elder Tang and Elder Heart Mirror, according to Elder Tang, the original idea is still Elder Heart Mirror's idea!"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he couldn't help but feel a bitterness in his heart: It seems that the person in the heart mirror is very popular in my sect, alas, my apprentice Li Shijian, I am afraid that he will be so pressed that he can't raise his head!

Thinking of this, the Nine Elders asked, "Sect Leader, what does Sect Master Lei mean?"

Zong Ken said with a smile: "This kind of good thing, of course the sect master is happy to see it come true!"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he said, "Since this is the case, then I will stay here with Shijian for a few more days, let Shijian learn the refining technique well, and then leave after getting this ding." ”

Zong Ken smiled, "Stay longer, how long are you going to stay?"

The Ninth Elder smiled and said, "When you get the Ding, you can leave." ”

Zong Ken smiled: "If you want to get this ding, speaking of which, the time can be long or short." ”

Hearing this, the Nine Elders asked, "Sect Boss, don't you make a fool of yourself, what does it mean that time can be long or short?"

Zong Ken said with a smile: "At present, Elder Xinjing is studying alchemy while assisting Elder Tang in researching and refining this new style tripod, theoretically, it is almost the same, but there are still two important things missing. ”

The Ninth Elder smiled, "What two things are missing?"

Zong Ken laughed again, this time, the smile was quite meaningful, only to hear Zong Ken say: "Lao Jiu, these two things, I can't say that I have to work for you!"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sect Boss, don't be so mysterious, okay?

Zong Ken said with a smile: "Two things, the same is the 10,000-year-old cold jade at the bottom of the North Undersea, and the same is the Nanming Lihuo of Nanming Yan Mountain. With these two things, it would be very fast to refine a new style of ding.

Your six cities in the northeast are the closest to the North Styx Sea, and the search for 10,000-year-old cold jade under the sea is of course dominated by your men; the fire of Nanming Lihuo, you said last time, the poetry sword is extremely blessed; the meaning of the sect master is to take you as the main one, let you bring the poetry sword, and send some good hands here to the main altar, and then go to Nanming Yan Mountain!"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "These two tasks are not trivial, why haven't I gotten any news? Normally, the Sect Master should have informed me a long time ago?"

Zong Ken said with a smile: "The sect master said, you take the poetry sword and go to the Western Wilderness Snow Domain to find the Ice Spirit Silver Lotus, I won't notify you for the time being, just wait for you to come back, and then talk about this matter." ”

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he said, "Since this is the case, then I will hurry up and handle this matter." Shijian, you stay, for the teacher, I will go back to the six cities in the northeast first. ”

Speaking of this, the Nine Elders' divine sense sent a message to Li Shijian: "Shijian, your self-created sword moves, you can't let Elder Xinjing know, and if necessary, you can use it to protect yourself." As a teacher, I always feel that the heart mirror is not kind to you. You have to be more careful about yourself, you can't hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend others!"

Li Shijian naturally replied to his master with divine sense. Zong Ken also said at the same time: "Lao Jiu, the six cities in the northeast, you don't have to go, you just need to send an order to go over, that is, the matter of going to Nanming Yanshan, the sect master has explained, and the matter of taking fire is the most troublesome." The Sect Master told you to wait here for him to come back. ”

"Sect Master asked me to wait for him here, when did you say that?" the Nine Elders were surprised.

Zong Ken smiled: "When you asked me to open the guard array outside the guard, I had already informed the sect master of the news of your return and asked for instructions. The sect master said that he was also on his way back. I don't know, it's possible that the sect master will personally take command and go to Nanming Yanshan. ”

The Ninth Elder smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to have the sect master in charge?"

So Zong Ken and the Nine Elders laughed together.

After laughing, Zong Ken said again: "Lao Jiu, you take the poetry sword to the instrument hall." ”

So Li Shijian said goodbye to Zongken with the Nine Elders, and went to the Qi Hall. After a while, when they arrived at the Qi Hall, Tang Rong greeted him with a smile, and the Nine Elders also greeted with a smile: "Brother Tang Twelve, congratulations!"

Tang Rong also smiled and said: "Brother Jiu is back! Hey, Shijian is also back, this time, you can refine and refine it well, right?"

Li Shijian stepped forward to pay homage to Tang Rong. Lu Tong next to him also came to pay respects, first paid homage to the Nine Elders, and then said to Li Shijian: "Senior Brother Li, I have almost finished learning fire control now, and in a few days, I will be able to learn alchemy." ”

Tang Rong smiled and criticized the same way: "Senior Nephew Lu, you can't be proud, you see the Thirteen Elders, they came later than you, they learned quickly, and they have learned almost well in the alchemy, and in a few days, they will be able to come and develop a new style of Ding with me."

Your Senior Brother Li, because I have been delayed these days, I am one step behind you, I am afraid that as soon as I learn, I will soon catch up with you!"

Lu Tong said with a smile: "Uncle Tang, where do I dare to be proud, the Thirteenth Elder learned fire control and refining in just a few days, and in a few days, he learned alchemy, he is now mainly researching the new style of Ding, which makes me admire to death!"

I heard that he only goes to the Dantang every day now, in fact, it is just to prevent the thief from learning the secret method of our instrument hall. ”

Hearing this, the Ninth Elder asked in surprise, "Someone actually came to our side to steal our refining secret method?"

Tang Rong listened, frowned and said, "Brother Jiu, you have also seen that our Azure City's Sect Protector Great Array has been opened, alas, let's go, let's go inside." ”

So everyone went to the secret room of the instrument hall and sat down, Tang Rong said to Lu Tong and Li Shijian: "Lu Tong, take your senior brother Li to learn fire control." ”

So Li Shijian went with him, and Tang Rong said to the Ninth Elder:

"Brother Jiu, Elder Heart Mirror has discovered that someone has secretly learned our refining method! This matter, according to Elder Heart Mirror, we refining the space magic weapon, as well as the new style tripod that we want to refine, we can't let that stealing scholar learn it. ”

The Ninth Elder asked in surprise, "Who is this? Can you sneak into my sect to steal the master and learn the arts?"

Tang Rong said: "According to what Elder Xinjing said, this person should be the thief monk of the dervishes Mingchen!"

The Nine Elders said curiously, "How can the Heart Mirror identify it as his?"

"Elder Xinjing has a family heirloom Taoist three-view mirror, and vaguely saw the traces of the thief monk's black bowl. ”

"I see!" The Ninth Elder asked, "Could it be that the thief monk just stayed on the side of the Dan Hall and didn't come here?"

When Tang Rong heard this, he said: "This is Elder Xinjing's idea, pretending that he has not learned the alchemy together, and going to the Dantang every day to play a double reed with Elder Miao, attracting the thief monk over there, but our Qitang side is secretly refining."

Elder Xinjing said that according to his observation, the thief monk was hiding in the black bowl, and he stayed in the Dantang every day, and he never left for days!"

When the Ninth Elder heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "That thief monk, with his bowl, it's really hard to deal with." ”

"Yes, there is no way to catch him, so our Sect Protector Array has to be turned on all day!" Tang Rong said angrily.

But he said that why did the dervishes always stay here in the Mingzong Dantang? But it was the people in the heart mirror who came here to learn alchemy, and the dervishes followed.

The master of the heart mirror guessed that the dervishes must have relied on the black bowl to hide in the Dantang, and secretly mobilized the three mirrors to investigate, and sure enough, he also found clues.

As soon as the people in the heart mirror came up with a trick - as the saying goes, "a gentleman can deceive his side", if you want to steal learning, I will start with stealing learning to cure you!

So the Master of the Heart Mirror only said that he wanted to learn to refine the secret Liuhe Pei Yuan Dan of this sect, but he secretly transmitted his divine sense, told Miao Tianbai how to deal with it, and asked Miao Tianbai to cooperate with him.

Of course, Miao Tianbai had to cooperate with the Master of the Heart Mirror, so the two of them acted as double reeds, and what they said in their mouths was refining Pei Yuan Dan, but they deliberately made the refining method extremely complicated and plausible!

Sure enough, this trick worked, attracting the two dervishes and Li Wenshan, hiding in the black bowl, discussing left and right analysis, but never getting the point.

The person in the heart mirror also observed from time to time, paid attention everywhere, and confirmed more than once that it was indeed the dervish monk who was hiding in the dark with a black bowl to steal his skills.

The dervish monk sometimes argued with Li Wenshan in a hurry, and he couldn't help but have the heart to give up, however, Li Wenshan said:

"Didn't Elder Miao, the master of the Dan Hall, tell the Master of the Heart Mirror clearly, learning the theory of alchemy is nothing, but if you refine this kind of Liuhe Pei Yuan Dan, you can really learn the hand, even if it is just refining a furnace of Liuhe Pei Yuan Dan, even if there is only one Cheng Dan in a furnace, it can be regarded as a complete learning of the way of alchemy.

Seeing that his process is so complicated, this Liuhe Pei Yuan Dan is not easy to refine, and the person in the Heart Mirror naturally can't succeed easily, which can be said to be a good thing for us!"

The dervish monk said: "What is good, I am almost suffocating, and I don't know when the master of his heart mirror will be able to truly refine a furnace of Pei Yuan Dan!"

Li Wenshan said with a smile: "If he can't refine it, it's also beneficial to us! In this way, won't we be able to see more fully and learn more thoroughly?"

Speaking of which, the dervish monk and Li Wenshan, these two old goods, where do they want to be put together by the person in the heart mirror at this time?

The dervishes thought that he would stay in this Dan Hall with the black bowl, as long as he didn't move, didn't drive the air flow, and even though the person in the Heart Mirror was an eighth-order spiritual path, he might not be able to feel his existence.

However, at this time, the dervishes didn't know that the bronze mirror on the heart mirror was no longer the inferior goods of the second and third orders of the spiritual path in the past, and he didn't know that this bronze mirror was actually a three-view mirror.

Having said that, even if you know that the magic weapon of the heart mirror is the three-view mirror? At this time, the dervishes are not yet great masters, and they don't know what kind of function and what kind of beauty the three-view mirror has.

The black bowl turned into fine dust, hidden in the Dan Hall, so that the dervishes didn't even know that Li Shijian had returned to Azure City.
