Chapter 41: A Plain Heart (The First Update)
Two months later, in the northeast of Zhongzhou, at the end of a green prairie, the mountains wind and intersect, like a giant dragon clinging to the earth, stretching into the distance, where the mountain and the grassland are connected, flowers and plants gather, handsome birds and milk beasts, rushing back and forth. In the depths of the mountain, there are waterfalls and dangerous rocks, which are dangerous and steep, and the slopes are full of pine and cypress. The mountain wind hit, and the sea of forests and grasses fluctuated, rippling wave after wave. In the distance, the top of the mountain was covered in snow and ice, and the top of the peak was covered in a silvery white, surrounded by clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see the specific situation.
To the south of the top of one of the tallest peaks, in the thick fog, a cave about three feet high and more than two feet wide came into view. The walls of the cave were as smooth as ice and as clear as jade, as if they had been polished several times. As we go deeper. The light in the cave has not diminished because it is far away from the sun, it is still the same, and the original wall and the roof of the cave are inlaid with countless crystal light beads of different sizes, which are exuding a faint luster. After a few feet of progress, a thick blanket was laid on the flat ground, and the fur of some large beast, to be exact, stretched all the way to the depths.
More than 100 zhang away, the cave suddenly widened, a hall with a radius of about 20 zhang appeared in front of you, several huge pillars dragged the dome, and the three dark unknown lamps on the wall inside emitted a scorching light, reflecting the one person and one table and two small pets on the high platform below. A middle-aged man with a peaceful face sat on the stage, pinching his hands and closing his eyes slightly, meditating. On the one-meter-long wooden table, the fragrance of tea is wafting out of a crystal jade pot, and the figure of the middle-aged man is reflected in the two cups. The elegant fragrance of tea seemed to be dissatisfied with wafting in the cave, and swung out along the cave passage, as if it wanted to dissolve between heaven and earth.
Suddenly, the little pet raised his head, sniffed twice towards the hole with his sharp mouth, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his mouth let out a low roar, and then a big hand stroked the top of his head back and forth, and the beast gradually quieted down, and the other one was completely selfless, still sleeping soundly.
After a while, above the clouds in the distance outside the cave, a white shadow shuttled in, flashed a few times, and then fell in front of the cave. He brushed his beard and looked at the cave, and was about to take a step when a strong voice came from inside the cave.
"Qingqiu Daoyou, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, my cultivation is becoming more and more refined, it seems that I am about to hit the bottleneck in the later stage, it is really gratifying, Duan has prepared a small tea, come in and reminisce about the past. ”
"Brother Cangran is too modest, although your realm has stayed in the late stage for a long time, but there are still very few people who can surpass, as long as the opportunity comes, maybe you will become our predecessors, at that time, above the wilderness, let Brother Cangran travel, the younger brother only envy. Before the voice fell, the man had reached the hall.
"Haha, how can any Taoist friend say it so easily, if you talk about chance, are you and I still less chance in the past few hundred years? Hehe, Duan Mou's impact on Yuanying this time fell short, I am afraid that the opportunity has been exhausted, and he can only be in this realm but his body is crippled. ”
"Brother Cangran, what are you talking about, it's too early to say these discouraged words at this time, isn't there still more than a hundred years of longevity? When I came, she was still a little girl of four or five years old, and now she must be slim, I remember that last time she was always tired of begging me to teach me spells, why haven't you seen a shadow yet?
"Ruyue's girl is indeed ice and snow smart, and she is about to enter the consummation realm of the late stage of condensation, I asked her to go down the mountain three years ago to practice. Whether he can break through the realm of condensation in the future depends on his creation. Duan Cangran stroked his beard, a little proud. It's just that his eyes unconsciously glanced to the southwest.
"What? It's going to condense the true liquid? Oh, how can you make us old guys embarrassed, I have been cultivating hard for more than 50 years to reach this realm. Genius! At such a young age, she has such an understanding, how can her daily cultivation be limited, Brother Duan has a disciple like this, great creation. Hahahaha......".
"Qingqiu Daoyou is not doing penance in your Danfeng Mountain, I am afraid that the matter of coming to my Chaoyuanling is not small, right?"
"Alas, my old problem seems to have been caught by Brother Duan. ”
"Hehe, in fact, the little cub you secretly collected in the world is not bad, the cultivation is almost on par with our Ruyue, and their royal inheritance supernatural power 'Thunder King Jue' is really one of the remnants of the ancient supernatural powers, but it is a pity that it was ruined by a group of unsuccessful guys. That Long Ao is not bad, if the little guy you fancy can condense into a true liquid, hum, 'Thunder King Jue' and then cultivate to Dacheng, so as to communicate the Nine Heavens Thunder and Lightning, I'm afraid we will only have to run when we meet. They're going to be so much better than us old guys. ”
"Huh, it seems that although Brother Duan rarely travels, some actions in the mortal world still can't be hidden from your eyes, Liu is just really bored, take a temporary disciple to relieve boredom, it seems that Brother Duan is also quite interested in this little guy, Brother Tai never cared about the world in the past. How to ............ nowadays Huh? No, no, is that girl next to that little guy your precious apprentice? I see, no wonder, hahaha............ Why did the two of them get together?" Liu Qingqiu seemed quite excited.
"When I went to instruct him, I almost did it in secret, although I sensed that the girl's breath was not weak, anyway, I didn't expect that Brother Duan would drive your palm pearl out to practice, and now she is actually practicing side by side with the three princes of Zhongzhou, it seems that it is providence, but also fate. Zhongzhou is a country, coercing the Quartet, presumably the good things in the palace are indispensable, and that girl is not a loss. Hey, hey......".
"You're not going to pass on to him the 'Flowing Cloud Sword Technique' you comprehended back then, right?" Duan Cangran's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Qingqiu.
"That sword recipe is no longer of much use to me, if it is placed in the mortal world, few people can resist it, and after I succeeded in marrying the Dan, I found that there are many omissions in the sword technique, and I revised and integrated it. I saw that kid had secretly gone to the secret room in the wild several times to practice the 'Thunder King Jue', and he was about to reach his father's cultivation at a young age, and his understanding was good, and he was happy for a while, so he passed it all on to him. ”
"Hehe, if he understands it thoroughly, coupled with the inheritance exercises, he can almost walk sideways in the land of Dongchuan, and if you go again in the future, by the way, point out a few words to that girl on my behalf, and Duan will no longer go down the mountain to see her, and tell her to take good care of the sword box, and don't open it forcibly. ”
When it comes to the sword box, Duan Cangran seems to be a little decadent.
"What you and I can't even comprehend, there will be no danger for her to hold it. The old guys who advanced to the Yuan Infant didn't know where to run for a long time. Anyway, that sword box can actually repel my spiritual power and divine thoughts, if it is not under some kind of severe ban, there is only one possibility, either it is the lost thing of the great monk or even the ancient relic. Duan asked himself that under the full force of his exertion, it was not much inferior to the early stage of Shangyuan Infant, and the sword box did not react at all, even if the old monsters saw most of it, they were helpless. Daoyou, let's talk about the intention, did you find ancient ruins or some difficult demon beasts to ask Duan for help?"
"Those broken ruins and even demon beasts, compared to the current matter, are some indifferent broken things. ”
"What?" The middle-aged man named Duan Cangran raised the corners of his eyebrows, and his face began to become a little serious.
"That's right, although there are some discords in our Dongchuan, Western Regions, Southern Xinjiang and Northern Hells at the moment, but like our old brothers, there are also Taoist friends who are dedicated to the Tao and do not participate in disputes. And they still have some friendship with three or four of them, but a few days ago, they all sent messages invariably, saying that the beloved disciples in the condensation period before they sat in front of them were all summoned by the 'Holy Inscription Golden Order' of the Presbyterian Church, and did not explain the reason. He also warned him not to inquire privately. ”
'What?' Holy Inscription Golden Order'?. Did you hear me right?" The man surnamed Duan was taken aback.
