Volume 1: The Origin of Agarwood Valley Chapter 104: It's back, it's back!
The mountains are undulating, but they are lush and vibrant, and it is obvious that these mountains are very suitable for human habitation and reproduction, which is very different from the feeling of the wilderness and barrenness of the 100,000 mountains.
And in this vast mountains, the two peaks are the most conspicuous, and the twin peaks stand side by side, and the mountains are small at a glance.
"Childe, there are obviously many peaks here, why don't you name it after the mountain and call it Agarwood Valley?"
"Hehe, this question is a good question, eldest brother, I was quite puzzled when I went up the mountain at the beginning of the year, and I specifically consulted the master on this issue."
Guo Xu rode on a horse, looked back at the red jade facing the rising sun, the rising glow reflected on her face, and two faint red glows flew on her delicate face, I don't know if this is the sunshine or the excitement in her heart.
After three days of long-distance travel, they have arrived in front of the mountain gate of Agarwood Valley.
"It is said that there is a hidden valley somewhere in these mountains, there is a thousand-zhang high agarwood sacred tree, my first generation of agarwood valley patriarch is the fate of taking an agarwood fruit, this is the first step of the Tao, and here established a sect that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years. ”
The patriarch was grateful for the kindness of the agarwood sacred tree, so he named it after the agarwood valley. After Guo Xu finished speaking, he smiled at Hongyu and continued.
"This legend is not found in the classics, but it is only passed down by the monks in the door, and I don't know if it is true or not. ”
"Childe, which of those two parallel peaks is the legendary first peak of the Tang Dynasty, Chaoyang Peak?"
"The one on the left is Chaoyang Peak, and the one on the right seems to be flat, but it is actually slightly shorter, and it is the second highest peak in the surrounding area, Hengyun Peak. ”
"Okay, Hongyu, let Childe take a break, there are not a thousand questions you asked along the way, but eight hundred. ”
Zhou Cheng once again reminded that he was old in accidents, how could he not see Guo Xu's fatigue at this time.
From the barbarian village to the red maple a day and a night of sleepless galloping, back and then non-stop return to the agarwood valley, has been several days without closing the eyes.
"It's okay Zhou Cheng, Xiao Nizi went out for the first time, and it was normal to be curious. Guo Xu glanced at Hongyu dotingly.
Along the way, Hongyu kept asking, not only was he not irritable, but he felt an indescribable happiness.
"When we get to the mountain gate, I'll beckon them to let them go. After speaking, Guo Xu raised his hand, and a white identity talisman disk quickly flew out.
As soon as the talisman rose into the air, the sky suddenly burst into a burst of colorful light.
The colorful light flickered in mid-air, and then slowly dissipated, and the white identity talisman disc returned to Guo Xu's hand.
At this moment, there was a sudden ripple in the air, and the tall mountain peak in front of him suddenly disappeared, flashing a white passage about a foot wide.
"Hongyu, Zhou Cheng, hurry up and come in with me, this passage will be closed as soon as the tea time comes. ”
Guo Xu beckoned to Zhou Cheng and Hongyu, who were standing in place, looking around from left to right.
Zhou Cheng's old face flushed, and he coughed dryly twice, and then his face was full of admiration: "Childe, this immortal sect is extraordinary, I am a small casual cultivator, if there is no guidance from Childe, how can I have the opportunity to see such a weather in this life." ”
Compared with Zhou Cheng's excitement, Hongyu suddenly felt depressed, her eyes were gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
"Foot, step!" The footsteps of the three people were particularly clear on the quiet bluestone path.
"Childe, is this what you often refer to as a restaurant?"
Now the three of them have arrived at the small square in front of the restaurant. Zhou Cheng also had a bright look in his eyes, and muttered bluntly: "Immortal Weather!"
This small square has a radius of more than ten acres of size, and the square is all paved with a century-old moire stone, and the atmosphere is abnormal.
In the center of the square, there is a cyan boulder tens of meters high, smooth as a mirror, on which there are three words of book and restaurant, the handwriting is magnificent, and there is a burst of spiritual pressure from a distance.
Bypassing this cyan boulder, I saw a huge three-story wooden building, and the eaves of each layer of the wooden building had colorful forbidden flashes, which was very confusing.
In the middle of the second floor, there is also a huge colorful plaque with the three big characters of the restaurant, which is dazzling and makes people dare not look at it directly!
"Yes, this is the restaurant, I was also shocked when I first saw it, and later I learned that this place provides spiritual food for the entire outer gate, so magnificent. ”
Guo Xu stood quietly, with a smile on his face, he remembered the legend of the "foodie" on the second floor when he had just refined his body.
"Okay, there is a chance to come here in the future, let's go to the dustless Yaju to visit the master first, I sent a spirit talisman when I first entered the mountain gate, it is estimated that they will be in a hurry in the hall. ”
After speaking, Guo Xu strode forward first.
Although his experience of going down the mountain this time was only one month, he experienced life and death several times, and survived in despair several times.
At this moment, when he returned to Agarwood Valley safely, thinking that he was about to see the master, Huzi, and the person who had been thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and even his steps were a little messy.
The dust-free elegant residence in the distance is already in sight, and the colorful prohibition shines with dreamy brilliance in the sun.
He trembled and took out the talisman, and with a soft sound, the hidden bamboo door was revealed, and with a soft squeak, Guo Xu pushed the door in.
Xiao Xiao's ironwood gentleman's bamboo, the gurgling water, and the looming shallow arch bridge, all of this is so familiar and warm.
At this moment, he completely understood that all this was so unavoidable for him to let go!
He couldn't help but catch the fallen leaves with his hand, and his heart was completely relaxed.
Looking at Zhou Cheng and Hongyu beside him, Guo Xu looked cramped, patted Zhou Cheng's shoulder and teased: "Old Zhou, you hob meat, there are times when you are nervous." ”
After speaking, seeing that Hongyu was still lowering his head, he squeezed behind Zhou Cheng, stepped forward and grabbed Hongyu's hand and smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Shizun, this will be your home from now on." ”
Guo Xu took Hongyu's hand and walked along the familiar bluestone path, he walked fast, unaware that Hongyu, who was being held by him, was already blushing like an apple, and his tender body trembled slightly.
Passing through a small bamboo forest and around a small lotus pond, an exquisite bamboo hut appeared in front of it.
There is a small bridge made of bamboo in front of the house, and a meandering and clear stream surrounds the bamboo house, like a beautiful belt.
After crossing the small bridge, look up and see a small archway, there is a plaque on the archway - the four words "dust-free elegant residence" are written on it.
The font is beautiful and sharp, and it is obviously from Li Ling'er's hand. A beaded curtain hangs from the door frame under the plaque, and inside is the main hall.
Guo Xu stopped, let go of Hongyu's little hand, and turned his head to the two of them: "Old Zhou, you wait for a while, I'll go to Tongbao first." ”
Guo Xu's voice just fell, and he hadn't raised his feet yet.
A majestic voice came: "Xu'er, you don't need to be polite, you can just bring them in." ”
Guo Xu bowed slightly when he heard this, and then smiled and said to Hongyu and the others: "Let's go, the master will let us go in directly." ”
As soon as Guo Xu and the three of them raised their feet, a rush of footsteps sounded, and the gauze curtain was lifted, and a tall and burly young man jumped out of the main hall.
"Senior brother, why are you so slow, we have been waiting for you for most of the day. ”
"Haha, it's all the fault of the junior brother, let the master and you wait for a long time, how about I punish myself with three cups of amends?"
"Hehe, I can't be the master of this, and the master has the final say. ”
In the main hall, Master Li sat down in a dark robe, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and pouring himself a drink.
And Li Ling'er is a rare festive red outfit today, if a big red peony is blooming delicately, with her appearance like a shy flower in the closed moon, and her delicate figure, she looks even more heroic.
The three of them entered and were about to salute, but they suddenly felt a flexible energy that made them unable to bend down, Guo Xu was fine, but Zhou Cheng and Hongyu were shocked and looked at each other.
"Okay, they're not outsiders, so there's no need to be polite. Master Li put down the teacup and smiled, looking at Hongyu and the others: "You are Zhou Cheng and Hongyu that Xu'er often mentioned, and they are really good." ”
"The master has won the award, Zhou Cheng is a casual cultivator, and he deserves such praise from the master. ”
"Oh, why should you be humble, you are still ungrateful at that juncture, and you dare to help, how commendable! This monk in the Agarwood Valley does not know how many, but how many people can do it like you in the end?"
Zhou Cheng didn't reply, his eyes were already hazy, and his heart was surging at the moment, and he couldn't wait to let out a few long howls.
He had done nothing for half his life, how could he have thought that he would be so depressed and scattered in his cultivation that he could be so highly praised and affirmed by Master Li, who is famous in the Tang Dynasty cultivation world.
"What a girl with Zhong Lingyuxiu, hey, this cultivation is worthy of breaking through the third layer of qi refining, this qualification is really extraordinary. Master Li looked at Hongyu, his eyes full of admiration.
Hongyu's face was already red to the base of her neck, and she said crisply: "Thank you for the compliment, Hongyu can have now, thanks to the help of Gongzi." ”
"Sister, why don't you hurry up and sit down with your sister, since you are here, this will be your home from now on. ”
Li Ling'er got up and stepped forward, kindly held Hongyu's arm, carefully looked at her little face and laughed.
"It's really getting more and more fresh and refined, and in a few years it will definitely be a peerless beauty, but I don't know who will be so blessed in the future. ”
"Sister, what are you talking about? Hongyu's little face flew a few shades of red again, and her eyes glanced at Guo Xu unnaturally.
"Hongyu, this is Senior Sister Li Ling'er that I often mention to you, last time it was she who scared Fu Qingyun away with a sword, you and Zhou Cheng were able to gain a foothold in Hongfeng, and my eldest brother and I were able to retreat from Hongfeng, all thanks to her. ”
Guo Xu took the opportunity to look at Li Ling'er carefully with her eyes up and down, this set of red clothes was worn on her body, and it was so bright that people didn't dare to look at it directly.
"Hmph, when is your turn to blow the conch for me. Li Ling'er glared at Guo Xu, and sat down with Hongyu in her arms.
After everyone sat down to greet each other, the eyes of everyone present looked at Guo Xu in unison.
"Xu'er, let's talk about the details of this mountain trial. ”
