In the few days that Chu Zhuangyun stayed in Taoyuan Village, Zuo Fengqi persevered every day to go up the mountain to collect all kinds of herbs, and according to the different formulas in various pharmacology books, he has been looking for effective potions and medicinal decoctions for Chu Zhuangyun to restore internal strength.

Chu Zhuangyun also learned a lot of herbs through a few days of non-stop drinking medicine, and once he smiled and said to Zuo Fengqi who sent the medicine: "Dad, can I stop drinking these things, they can't be eaten as food!"

Zuo Fengqi smiled at first, but then became serious and said, "Of course this is not possible." Although this decoction cannot be eaten as a meal, it plays a more important role than rice. Brother Yun, think about it. This person eats to quench hunger, and also to replenish energy and maintain the normal internal functioning of the human body. But these decoctions and medicines you and you can not only fill your stomach, but also restore your internal strength. Brother, think about it yourself, have you earned it? These decoctions are comparable to the legendary Taoist pills, and after eating them, they can prolong their lives or something. How many people dream of things, you still dislike them now, you really don't know how to be blessed in the blessings. After speaking, he smiled again.

Chu Zhuangyun pursed his lips deliberately, and said: "It's not okay to eat panacea every day, some emperors in the first dynasty believed in Taoism, and they ate the so-called 'golden pill' every day, and some of them ate death, not to mention these bitter things." I'm almost a medicine jar, and if I continue like this, it's strange that I won't die of suffering!"

Zuo Fengqi said with a smile: "It's really not good to eat too much, and the emperor of the previous dynasty did have people who died because of taking too much pills." However, the good medicine is good for the disease, so drink it, brother. ”

Although Chu Zhuangyun showed a very reluctant look, he still took the medicine bowl, lowered his head and sniffed the smell with his nose, and smiled: "This time it is made with yellow lotus, yellow lotus (mín), angelica, and rehmannia rehmannia, hmm...... And honey?"

Zuo Fengqi smiled heartily, touched his white beard and said, "Brother Yun, your nose is really getting more and more smart, yes, you are not only right about all the Chinese medicinal materials in it, but also broke the old man's honey that I 'secretly' put in." ”

Chu Zhuangyun smiled, then poured the medicinal soup in one gulp, smashed it with charm, and said with a smile: "Hmm...... It's delicious, much better than the bitter stuff of the other day. Oh yes, Daddy. Will this honey destroy the ingredients of this decoction and affect its curative effect?"

Zuo Fengqi thought for a moment and said, "Uh...... The impact is definite...... However, honey is also a good thing to nourish the skin and blood, and there should be no side effects. ”

Chu Zhuangyun tried to take two steps, tried to lift his true breath, and said after slowly exhaling, "Hmm...... It seems to have an effect. ”

Zuo Fengqi frowned and just thought about it, and even beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Brother Yun, don't comfort me...... Alas...... It seems that it has failed again......" said and touched his short white hair, as if to say to himself, "What's the problem...... It can't really be a honey problem. With that, he walked out of the room, leaving Chu Zhuangyun with a blank face.

Chu Zhuangyun grimaced, stuck out his tongue, looked up at the sky and said, "It's okay to go out and have fun." He carefully looked at the map of Taoyuan Village and its surroundings hanging on the wall, pointed at a fiery red forest outside the village with his slender fingers, and smiled: "Well, let's go here." Luoxia Forest. ”

Luoxia Forest is located in the southwest side of Taoyuan Village, the whole forest is covered by red maple leaves all the year round, and there is often heavy fog to cover people's vision in summer and autumn, so that people dare not enter. The word "Luoxia" comes from the finishing touch in the article "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", the pinnacle work of Wang Bo, a young talent in the Tang Dynasty: "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky." ”

Chu Zhuangyun had long heard of the secrets of Luoxia Forest, but he often disdained it, regarded it as a joke, and didn't take it to heart.

Chu Zhuangyun reached out to take the light sun and moon flute that was originally placed on the cabinet, but he grabbed it empty - the flute on the cabinet was gone!

If it were in normal times, Chu Zhuangyun was only afraid that he was already in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to jump three feet into the sky and dig out a big hole in the sky to find it, and go down to the ground and throw the ground eighteen feet away to find his precious jade flute.

But now he is no longer the sharp-edged and high-spirited Chu Zhuangyun, and his sharpness has been worn away by Zuo Fengqi's education.

Chu Zhuang Yunxin said: That's it, anyway, I can't give full play to the maximum power of this light sun and moon flute. Take an ordinary iron sword to make do with self-defense. Thinking to himself, he took off the sword hanging on the wall and hung it around his waist.

Before he got out of the village, an old man with a hunched back hurriedly ran to Chu Zhuangyun and said, "Child, where are you going?"

Chu Zhuangyun smiled slightly, and said very politely: "Old Qiao, I want to go to Luoxia Forest." ”

Qiao Lao threw down the short axe in his hand, grabbed Chu Zhuangyun's arm with both hands, and said anxiously: "Child, it's terrible! There are monsters in Lianbi Forest! There are monsters! It wants to eat my ......."

Chu Zhuangyun has lived in Taoyuan Village for a few days, and his desire to be competitive has faded a lot, but as soon as he heard that there was a so-called "monster" that hurt people's lives, the chivalrous spirit in his chest was stimulated, and he hurriedly comforted Qiao Lao and said: "Qiao Lao, don't worry, I'll go to Lianbi Forest to have a look." Do you see what that monster looks like?"

Old Qiao had a bitter face and trembled: "No...... No. As soon as I reached the entrance of the forest in Lianbilin, and wanted to cut wood, I heard a strange roar like a beast, and then ...... Then there were a few terrible wails. I was so scared that I ran back, scared me to death, I was really scared to death......" he said, and he kept patting his chest, looking like he was palpitating.

Chu Zhuangyun gently patted Old Qiao's thin body and comforted: "Don't worry, Old Qiao, I'll go over and subdue that monster, so that you don't have to be afraid." The old man "eh, eh, well" in response, while panting incessantly, obviously overly frightened.

Chu Zhuangyun first sent Qiao Lao back to his house to settle down, and then jumped and trotted all the way along the path towards Lian Bilin.

Lianbi Forest is located in the northwest side of Taoyuan Village, perennial green trees, lush, the word "Lianbi" is by the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli in the "out of the Jingci Temple to send Lin Zifang": "The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. One sentence, highlighting the emerald green of Lian Bilin.

At this time, it was noon, and a round of tomorrow was shining in the sky, but the lotus forest was unusual: it was black and oppressive, and occasionally a breeze blew, blowing the leaves, making a terrible sound, and in the depths of the darkness, there were sometimes strange roars and terrible wails like the beasts that the old Qiao said.

Rao is Chu Zhuang cloud machine is full of changes, and he can't figure out the mystery of this, so he has to go inside.

When I came to a fork in the road, the light suddenly became so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. Chu Zhuangyun only felt the wind in his ears, followed by the sound of his fist cutting through the air, approaching Chu Zhuangyun.

Chu Zhuangyun jumped forward, his body soared into the air, and skillfully dodged this move, and at the same time, his right leg kicked out sideways, hitting the opponent's chest.

Unexpectedly, the other party was just forced to take a few steps back, and then continued to attack. Chu Zhuangyun knew that this was because he had lost his internal strength, but he was not afraid - if a person reached the moment of life and death, even a powerless scholar would have great courage to face Wu Yu and Meng Ben.

Chu Zhuangyun simply closed his eyes and quietly used his ears to find the other party's location in the dark. Another gust of wind hit Chu Zhuangyun's face, Chu Zhuangyun suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a huge blue and cyan fist hitting him, Chu Zhuangyun was stunned, and the fist had already touched the bridge of his nose. Such a giant fist can also open the monument and rubble, and seeing that Chu Zhuangyun was about to be seriously injured in the face, he finally died under this blow.

But Chu Zhuangyun is worthy of Chu Zhuangyun, and twenty years of experience allowed him to finally dodge this fatal blow: I saw Chu Zhuangyun soar forward with both feet at the same time, and at the same time tilted his head back hard, and began to rotate like a wheel. At the same time, Chu Zhuangyun kicked the opponent's jaw with both feet, completing both the dodge and the attack in an instant. Chu Zhuangyun proved that he was not in vain.

Chu Zhuangyun also knew that the kick he just kicked couldn't hurt the other party, so he didn't attack rashly, just stood quietly in place, and continued to listen to the other party's voice to judge the position. The strange thing is that after a long time, there was no sound, except for Chu Zhuangyun's own breathing. Chu Zhuangyun couldn't help but shake his head and frowned slightly.

With such a swing of his head, Chu Zhuangyun's position was finally exposed, and the other party gently punched Chu Zhuangyun's weak lower abdomen. The lower abdomen is the softest and least resistant part of a person, and it is wise for the opponent to choose to attack this part.

This opponent is also quite cunning, knowing that Chu Zhuangyun can't see his position clearly in the dark night, and can only judge his position by hearing. So he deliberately slowly moved his fist to Chu Zhuangyun's lower abdomen.

Chu Zhuangyun was thinking hard about the other party's position, but suddenly felt that his abdomen was suddenly pressed against a big thing, and he knew that something was wrong, and he just wanted to dodge, but it was too late. A powerful internal force suddenly vented out, like a surging flood, bursting the embankment.

Fortunately, Chu Zhuangyun's internal strength was lost, if he was replaced by other internal strength masters, the two powerful internal forces suddenly collided, and this time it would definitely kill him. And Chu Zhuangyun was only injured by some flesh and skin at most, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

"Abominable treacherous. Chu Zhuangyun gently wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, staggered to his feet, and stared fiercely ahead.

The other party suddenly howled "Roar!", and rushed up to tear Chu Zhuangyun apart. Chu Zhuangyun knew that he was invincible, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of death.

Suddenly, I heard a crisp rebuke: "Evil animal, don't hurt people!" followed by a gust of wind, making a "whirring" sound, followed by a terrible scream: "Wow!"

Chu Zhuangyun opened his eyes, only to see a person holding a fire rod in his hand, followed by a person wearing tattered clothes, and another person dressed gorgeously, holding a treasure fan, with a graceful appearance.

The person holding the fire staff has a handsome face, a green robe, and a dark red staff behind him, looking like a handsome boy.

Chu Zhuangyun only heard him ask, "Who are you, why are you here?"
