Xuanguang flashed, the overlapping triple ear flaps of the six-eared macaque were fluttering, exuding a strange fluctuation, although the eyes were closed, but the surrounding grass and trees were all present in his sea of knowledge, even the whispering breeze and moon in the back room, the size and location of the insects and birds under the mountain, were also clearly visible.

Feeling the power of prying, the chaos bead in Zhou Bai's body rose an invisible film, blocking and shielding the breath that the six ears unintentionally emitted, and turned his head to look at Zhen Yuanzi, Zhen Yuanzi also looked at Zhou Bai with a look of surprise, as a quasi-saint who had been enlightened for a long time, he naturally also noticed the fluctuation of the breath of the six ears' natal supernatural powers.

Chin head and smile, Zhen Yuanzi sighed: "The four monkeys of the mixed yuan are from the congenital, and they are the descendants of the three thousand gods and demons, once they break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, they can return to the source and return to the roots, and achieve the realm of innate gods and demons, Daoyou is indeed a good disciple." ”

Zhou Bai shook his head and said: "It is said that the gibbon monkey has fallen in the period of the gods, if the four monkeys are there, they can still protect each other and restrain each other, now there are only three people left, and there is no balance in the situation, I am afraid that I will have to fight to the last person in order to obtain the mixed yuan inheritance." Looking at Liu'er, who was gradually waking up, with a complicated expression, Zhou Bai sighed: "This ..... Not what I want. ”

Zhen Yuanzi smiled indifferently, a look of approval flashed in his eyes, he and Hongyun are not competitive people, one is to explore the way of heaven, and the other is to keep himself safe.

The deeper the perception of life, the deeper the awe of life, if it is not a last resort, he does not want to harm people's lives, and now when he hears what Zhou Bai said, he knows that Zhou Bai is not one of those who fight bravely.

The light gradually dimmed, and the room also returned to its previous dimness, only a beam of sunlight from the roof sprinkled in front of Zhou Bai, and in a trance, Zhen Yuanzi seemed to see the original red cloud, and opened his mouth to shout 'Red Cloud Daoyou'.

but heard the conversation between Zhou Bai and Liu'er.

Sighing in his heart, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head with a wry smile, and secretly said that he had fallen into a demon, and these two people were very different from each other in terms of appearance and personality.

"Six ears, the innate aura in the ginseng fruit is just a wisp of introduction, although it can refine the acquired mana in your body, but you can't rely too much on this thing, the Dao mana still needs to accumulate itself, and its own essence is. Zhen Yuanzi showed a kind look on his face, and smiled at the six ears: "The Taoist ancestor has a saying, 'The law does not pass on the six ears', and the poor Tao does not enter the realm of the mixed yuan sage, so you should follow the mantra of the Taoist ancestor." But the backyard vegetable garden of the poor road still lacks a person who sprinkles water and loosens the soil, and you are willing to stay here for a hundred years?"

If it was an ordinary vegetable garden medicine valley, Liu'er would definitely assert his refusal, but what is in the back garden of Wuzhuang Guan?

Although Zhen Yuanzi did not give another fruit, he allowed Liu'er to comprehend the innate spirit method under the innate spiritual root, so how could Liu'er refuse?

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Liu'er looked at Zhou Bai, his eyes full of expectation.

Zhou Bai said with a smile: "The six ears are stubborn, so I will ask Brother Dao to discipline them on my behalf." After saying that, he looked at Liu'er, and Zhou Bai said in a deep voice: "Since you are practicing in the Daoist Brother's Mansion, you should treat each other as a teacher, and you must not be lazy and stealing, nor be disobedient to your elders." ”

Liu'er looked delighted and leaned over to say yes.

Xiang Zhen Yuanzi hugged his fists and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Meet the seniors." ”

Zhen Yuanzi laughed, stretched out his hand to help his six ears, turned to Zhou Bai and smiled: "I hit it off with Daoyou, why don't you become brothers today?"

Zhou Bai was stunned, he could feel that Zhen Yuanzi did not have any hostility and malice, nor did he deliberately make friends with others, after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Bai smiled and said: "There is no need, Zhou Bai has seen his brother." ”

Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou Bai's wrist sleeve, and said: "Since they are brothers, they should be friends of the eight worships, and Taoist friends will come with me." ”

Stone table and stone bench, pine table and incense.

Zhou Bai and Liu'er followed behind Zhen Yuanzi, and after a while, they saw the Taoist boy who was constantly coming in and out of the back garden, and when they saw the three of them coming, Mingyue quickly greeted him, leaned over to Zhen Yuanzi and said: "Master, the table has been arranged, Senior Brother Qingfeng has gone to the warehouse, and he is already coming back." ”

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Seeing Zhou Bai's puzzled face, Zhen Yuanzi turned sideways and said: "Daoist friends don't know, in the past, although I and Hongyun Daoyou were not brothers, but we had the intention of making friends, but how to make people, and finally failed to complete the last eight worships, as a brother, I want to take today's opportunity to let him stay as a person to watch the ceremony, Daoist friends are willing?"

Zhou Bai smiled: "Brother naturally spoke, I should agree." ”

The three of them walked along the path, the roadside was full of aura, the fragrance was fragrant, there were strange flowers and buds blooming quietly, and there were melons and fruits falling fragrantly.

Zhulan treasure threshold, curved peak mountain.

Outside the Liubei Pavilion, a bend of green willows seems to drag smoke; in front of the moon viewing platform, several clusters of trees and pines are like splashing indigo.

Not far away, a door is hidden, and the door is finely patterned, as if there are thousands of prohibitions.

Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile: "Since Pangu opened the sky, the aura of heaven and earth has changed from innate to acquired, the aura is exhausted and the greed is endless, and the poor Dao has found a formation magic to block this place, and nourished it with its own mana, so as to leave a cluster of innate qi." After saying that, he waved his arm sideways and motioned for Zhou Bai to go first.

Zhou Bai responded with his head bowed, the door was gently pushed, Zhou Bai only felt the breeze blowing on his face, and an indifferent and traceless aura came to his face, although it was similar to ordinary aura, but there was an ethereal vitality and ethereal.

Following behind Zhen Yuanzi, Liu'er walked into the back garden, and couldn't help but light up, something contained in the surrounding aura awakened his memories from ancient times, and he looked at the big trees in the garden with burning eyes, and subconsciously took a step forward.

In the gust of breeze, the green branches of the trees dance with the wind, under the shadowy branches and leaves, revealing a small fruit, the green leaves are beaten like wind chimes crisp, the children's shadows are like laughing and playing, seeing the ginseng fruit tree, Zhen Yuanzi can't help but smile, since he was born, this thing has been born beside him, the two have been dependent on each other for many years, although the tree spirit was not born, but there is also a trace of mutual protection.

As if thinking of something, Zhen Yuanzi turned to look at Zhou Bai and wondered: "The ginseng fruit that was given to Daoyou at the right time, did Daoyou keep it?"

Zhou Bai said with some embarrassment when he heard this: "Yes." In his opinion, after tasting the innate spirit tea, the aura in the body has been refined again, if you take the ginseng fruit again, the benefit is actually not so great, but the red jade, the body is the innate spirit treasure, if you take the ginseng fruit again, the benefits are endless.

Of course, this kind of thing is rude, but now that he is asked by Zhen Yuanzi, he is even more embarrassed.

Zhen Yuanzi noticed Zhou Bai's expression, and hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, Daoyou, since the ginseng fruit is prepared for Daoyou, Daoyou can naturally dispose of it at will, but there are some taboos that poor Daoist Shicai really forgot to tell Daoyou." ”

Hearing this, Liu'er showed a curious look, looked up at the fruit on the tree, and listened attentively.

"This tree blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and matures after another three thousand years. The short head is 10,000 years, and only thirty are born. Those who are destined to smell it will live to be 360 years old, and if they eat one, they will live to live for 47,000 years. But it is only afraid of the five elements. Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and explained: "This fruit falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, scorches when it encounters fire, and enters when it encounters soil." When you knock it, you must use a tool of gold, so that you can come down. If you take some wood, it will wither, and you will not be able to prolong your life if you eat it. To eat him, you need to use a magnet, and the water melts and eats it, and it is scorched and useless when it encounters fire. Whoever comes into the soil escapes into the mud. ”

Zhou Bai thought back to this paragraph in Journey to the West, and couldn't help but nod and said, "I see, thank you Brother Dao for your advice." ”

With a smile on his face, Zhen Yuanzi stretched out his hand and waved, a branch of the tree shook lightly, and in a crisp wind chime, a moist fruit fell in response, and then suspended in the air, Zhen Yuanzi smiled: "That one is for my younger brother and sister, this one, please also ask Taoist friends to use it." ”

Zhou Bai stretched out his hand to take it and said with a wry smile: "This is nature. ”

Unlike the bite and chew when the six ears took it, just waiting for Zhou Bai to hand the ginseng fruit to his mouth, the fruit in his hand turned directly into a stream of clear water flowing into the mouth, colorless, tasteless, and had no effect.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but be stunned, and his raised hand couldn't help but freeze in the air, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Liu'er blinked, not understanding why the two of them looked strange, in his eyes, Zhou Bai was indeed stuttering, and the sound of chewing was clearly audible in his perception.

Zhou Bai glanced at Liu'er, then at Zhen Yuanzi, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Dao won't be teasing me, right?" While speaking, Zhou Bai's gaze swept to the ginseng fruit tree next to him.

Based on his cultivation, it can be seen that there are only twenty-six fruits left on the tree, and before this it was obviously twenty-seven.

If it weren't for Zhen Yuanzi playing tricks on him, it would have been ....... Zhou Bai didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.

While speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, Qingfeng held a transparent jade plate, and there was a big red gourd lying quietly on the plate, which was densely covered with mysterious textures, and the words in it were like graffiti when they were bored, and it was like a lifelong painstaking understanding of a powerful man.

"Master?" Seeing Zhen Yuanzi's distraction, Qingfeng shouted again, "Master, the things have been brought." ”

"Oh, oh. Zhen Yuanzi was suddenly startled and said, "Put it on the stone bench next to the table." ”

Qingfeng put the jade plate behind the stone bench, slowly left, and when he left, he couldn't help but glance at the three of them suspiciously, this was the second time he had seen the old man show such an expression in so many years, and he didn't know what was going on.

Mingyue at the door grabbed Qingfeng and asked, "What's the situation inside?"

"What's going on?" Qingfeng wondered.

"The master has always been high and does not associate with outsiders, why did he suddenly pull a little golden immortal to become a brother?" Mingyue pouted and said, "That Zhou Bai is a person who intercepts the sect, if he really worships, won't the master fall into the saint's generation?"

"Shh~" Qingfeng covered Mingyue's mouth, glanced left and right, and said: "You are crazy, you dare to say this kind of thing, be careful that the master knows to whip you with a fire dragon." ”

Mingyue regretted it when she said it, looked at the back garden with a pale face, and kept silent.

Qingfeng looked at Mingyue's line of sight, and thought: "That golden immortal is not simple, I was in the back garden, and I saw the old man in a trance, the last time I saw him like this, it seemed that it was when the old man Hongyun was killed." ”

......

With heaven and earth as the tablet, Zhou Baizhen Yuanzi looked solemn, and after tidying up his clothes, he twisted up three bunches of sandalwood, worshiped eight times, and said to each other brothers.

Liu'er also leaned over to serve tea and said 'teacher' to Zhen Yuanzi.

After the ceremony, Zhou Bai's eyes fell on the jade plate on the stone bench.

Zhen Yuanzi said faintly: "At the beginning, Hongyun Daoyou was assassinated, and when I broke through the thieves' obstruction and rushed to the battlefield, I only saw the figure of Hongyu Daoyou blowing himself up, as well as his companion magic weapon, Jiujiu Scattered Gourd. ”

Gently stroking the gloomy gourd, Zhen Yuanzi sighed: "At the beginning, he burned out his mana and detonated his divine soul, although this innate spirit treasure was not annihilated, it also consumed all its spirituality. Looking up at Zhou Bai, an inexplicable light flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes, "Daoist friends are the variables of the Great Dao, and because of the calamity, there will naturally be infinite possibilities, can you ask Daoyou to take this gourd and look for Hongyun Daoyou, so as to fulfill the righteousness of our three brothers." ”

Zhou Bai stretched out his hand to take the gourd, the cold hand felt like a dead thing, and he found that the flame pattern on the gourd was dim, and a slight crack spread from the mouth of the gourd to the bottom of the gourd.

Since Zhou Bai got the scattered gourd, Zhen Yuanzi quietly looked at Zhou Bai's eyes and the mysterious dao pattern on the gourd, but Zhou Bai's indifferent calm and unfluctuating gourd like a dead thing made him stunned.

Tie the gourd to his waist, Zhou Bai said: "Since my brother has been entrusted, I should go all out." ”

In the vast chaos, chaotic times, looking for a person who died tens of thousands of years ago in countless worlds is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the odds are so slim.

Zhen Yuanzi naturally understands this, and Zhou Bai also understands it.

In the meantime, Zhen Yuanzi called people to remove the incense and candles from the table, and smiled at Qingfeng and Mingyue in front of him: "From today onwards, Liu'er is in charge of the courtyard of the ginseng fruit tree, and you two will tell him about the surrounding magic circles and taboos in detail." ”

Liu'er hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Qingfeng Daoyou, Mingyue Daoyou." ”

The two hurriedly returned the salute and said 'don't dare'.

Zhen Yuanzi turned sideways and said: "Zhou Bai Daoyou is already my brother who has been friends for eight years, so you will call him the second master from now on." ”

The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Zhen Yuanzi in unison, their eyes were full of astonishment and shock, until Zhen Yuanzi coughed lightly with dissatisfaction, they reacted, leaned over and said, "I've seen the second master." ”

Zhou Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Hurry up, please." ”

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "You guys should step back first, and by the way, prepare a guest room and meals for Zhou Bai Daoyou and Liu'er." ”

Qingfeng and Mingyue leaned over and retreated when they heard this.

As soon as they came out of the back garden, the two of them sighed at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they whispered:

"Like"

"Not like"

Mingyue glanced behind her and whispered: "Where is it like, the old man Hongyun is immortal, the crane has a childish face, whether it is posture or look, this Zhou Bai is far behind." ”

Qingfeng scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face, "The first time I saw the gourd hanging from his waist, it was very similar in a trance, but now that I think about it, it really doesn't look like it." ”

The two of them walked farther and farther, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the garden path.
