Chapter 3: The Foundation for Enlightenment (1)

Then Liu Yiwen and the others saw a flower, and a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and three locks of long hair appeared in front of Gongsun Ruo. The man put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "Old man Shenshou Gu Gongsun Qi, I heard that you are going to teach me a lesson to my uncompetitive granddaughter?"

The man in gray hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and said with a careful smile: "I didn't know that the seniors were here, but the juniors were reckless just now." How offended, please Haihan!"

It turned out that this man was the grandson senior he had met in the Valley of the Divine Hand a few years ago. No wonder if Gongsun has no fear, he still worries more.

Gongsun Qi had no joy or sorrow on his face, and said lightly: "Reckless? I see that you had no scruples when you made a move just now." It doesn't look like an unintentional move at all!"

The man in gray said embarrassedly: "The junior is just ......"

At this moment, the brocade-robed young man standing in the distance calmly stepped forward and bowed with his fists, and said calmly: "Don't embarrass Uncle Hu from your seniors! This matter started because of me, and if my seniors want to punish me, I am willing to accept it on his behalf." I hope that my predecessors will be fulfilled!"

This person is only twenty-seven or eight years old, with a jade crown and hair, and a dignified appearance. His cultivation is only in the late stage of Qi refining, but he has no fear in the face of the masters of the Jindan period, and he is calm.

Gongsun Qi raised his eyebrows lightly and said in surprise: "Who are you?"

"Zai Xia is just an ordinary disciple of Qingfeng Palace, surnamed Liang Minghao. He replied respectfully.

Gongsun Qi was silent, and secretly thought in his heart: This young man has good manners, and he is neither humble nor arrogant in answering questions, and he has a bit of bearing! Liang Hao's appearance made him feel a little good, and the embarrassment just now has long disappeared. But just spared the other party like this, and the identity of his predecessor couldn't hang up!

So Gongsun Qi waved his hand and said: "You don't have to take his place, for the sake of you, you are still knowledgeable, I will punish him slightly." With that, he raised his hand and pointed forward to cast some kind of spell.

"Brother Gongsun, be merciful!"

I don't know where I heard a shout. Liu Yiwen and others looked around, but they didn't see half a figure.

After a long laugh, a thin man in a soap robe appeared from the air dozens of feet away, and walked towards Gongsun Qi with a smile on his face. His pace seemed slow, but it was only two or three steps before he got closer, which was really weird.

Gongsun Qi's hand paused and stopped in mid-air, then turned his hand upside down, and suddenly said, "It turns out that you old boy is playing tricks!"

The soap-robed man laughed and said, "You're also here for that seven-petal spirit lotus! This thing only needs one petal, so why hurt the harmony?"

Gongsun Qi said unhappily: "Liang Huacheng, it is clear that the people of your Qingfeng Hall are arrogant. When did this Jade Lotus Pond become a forbidden place for you?"

Liang Huacheng disagreed: "It's because I'm not strict in discipline, and after returning to the sect, I will punish him for thinking about it behind closed doors, so that you can take such a breath." Isn't that good?"

Gongsun Qi scolded: "I don't understand your little tricks yet. Forget it, I'm not a small-bellied person, so let's stop it!"

The appearance of Liang Huacheng made this dispute disappear, and the two of them stood there and were old acquaintances.

Liu Yiwen and the three of them stood aside, not knowing what to do. Now that the two Jindan Stage seniors are here, the seven-petal spirit lotus will definitely not have their share! He sighed secretly in his heart, and discussed with Wen Tao in a low voice: "It seems that our luck is really not good, so it is better to turn back here!"

Wen Tao was depressed in his heart, but he also knew that Liu Yiwen was right, so he nodded helplessly: "Okay! ”

The three of them made up their minds, and then they were about to leave. At this time, Gongsun Ruojiao said angrily: "Liu Yiwen, where are you going?"

Her shout immediately attracted everyone's attention. Liu Yiwen stepped forward awkwardly and bowed to a few people: "I've seen all the seniors!"

Gongsun Qi smiled and nodded: "Well, don't be polite! I don't know how Brother Huaishan is doing recently?" Liu Yiwen helped him just now, but he saw it in his eyes, and Jiang Huaishan's face naturally gave him blue eyes.

Liu Yiwen calmly replied: "Senior Jiang is uncertain, I haven't seen him for several years. ”

Liang Huacheng's eyes flashed with a different color, and he looked at Gongsun Qi and said, "Who is this little friend?"

Gongsun Qi said with a smile: "Brother Huaishan once brought this son to Shenshou Valley as a guest for a period of time, and it can be regarded as some fate. ”

Liang Huacheng smiled and quipped: "It can't be that Brother Huaishan has changed his temperament and put away his apprentices!"

Then he glanced at Liu Yiwen a few times, and naturally understood why this son was here. So he said: "Since it is for the sake of condensation, let's wait for the seven-petal spirit lotus to bloom!"

Liu Yiwen was overjoyed when he heard this, and then looked at Wen Tao and the others hesitantly.

Gongsun Qi said happily: "Each person only needs one petal, since the five of you have met, it will be fate." ”

Liu Yiwen was overjoyed and said: "Thank you seniors!"

So a group of eight people walked in the direction of Chitan. Along the way, Wen Tao and Ye Xiumei looked restrained, while Gongsun Ruo and Liu Yiwen chatted.

"Why did you kid come here?" said Gongsun Ruojiao.

Liu Yiwen smiled bitterly: "I knew that there were so many seniors and masters, and I didn't come to join in the excitement if I was killed." ”

Gongsun Ruo covered her mouth and smiled: "When did you become so timid? Wasn't you still very bold just now?" After speaking, she also nodded at the man surnamed Hu.

Liu Yiwen laughed at himself: "It's because my hands are itchy and impulsive! It turns out that you have a big backer who makes me ugly." ”

Gongsun Ruo chuckled: "It's a bit of a conscience! Even if you pay it back the favor you owed me last time! But I helped you again just now, so you still owe me a favor." That's not too much, isn't it?"

Liu Yiwen stammered: "What?!" Then he said: "By the way, why haven't I seen you in Fang City recently?"

Gongsun Ruo said angrily: "It's not because of you!"

Liu Yiwen's head was as big as a fight, and he secretly thought in his heart: This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me!

......

After a short walk through a path, a misty pond emerged between the two peaks. In the pond that is more than ten zhang square, you can vaguely see a piece of lotus leaves growing jaggedly, and more than a dozen lotus flowers with buds to be released stand quietly there like a slim girl. The water of the pond is clear and clear, and a faint aura escapes from the surface of the water, which makes people feel refreshed.

After Gongsun Qi made a round trip, his gaze stopped on a seemingly ordinary lotus bud. On closer inspection, the buds of this plant are indeed slightly different from other lotus flowers: where the stems and buds meet, the five-leaf sepals emit a pale pink aura.

Gongsun Qi took a few steps in the void and reached the sky above this bud. He took a closer look, then looked at the rest of the buds, then returned to the group after a moment's silence. He stroked his beard lightly and said lightly: "There are two of them, if they bloom, it will be within ten days!
