Chapter 61: A Covenant of Promise
Quicksand Boundary, Buzhou Mountain, Meridian Valley.
At the time of Cheno's handover, Linghu Xu was standing alone in the small forest of the Meridian Valley, with a clear heart and a long-term vision.
sighed in his heart: "The blue sky is like a wash, and the mountains and waters depend on each other, which is a good time of the year." It's a pity that the seasons are like a stream, and the years don't live. In the blink of an eye, it's mid-May. ”
After looking at it for a long time, he walked out of the forest lightly, walked towards the outside of the Meridian Valley, and recited some words: "Counting, the second brother has been there for more than ten days, and I don't know what progress has been made in tracking down the primeval beasts." Will the second brother be in the limelight in front of the disciples of the four sects as before!"
When he said this, he couldn't help laughing, and let out a long sigh: "If only I could have his ability! It's okay, I'll take advantage of this time to go to other realms alone to experience and increase my experience. ”
He traveled all the way, and after a little inquiry, he already knew a lot about the situation. In the afternoon of the same day, when I came to a small teleportation circle outside Juancheng City, I saw many disciples of the True Martial Palace, their faces relaxed, talking and laughing, as if they had a bumper harvest.
Said secretly: "It seems that it is right to go to Haiyang Realm." ”
Take the circle and do a trivial job, no need to go into details.
The next day, Ling Hu Xu walked out of the Taibai Building in Zecheng, walked to a sparsely populated place, directly raised the mud gold fan, turned into a golden mang, and flew towards the direction of Rouge Mountain in the Haiyang realm.
Rouge Mountain, located in the west of Haiyang boundary, is famous for its abundance of Haiyang golden lotus. At present, the main spiritual material areas have been firmly controlled by the True Martial Palace. And the extremely valuable spiritual materials have already been transported back to Buzhou Mountain, and perhaps some of them have already been refined into the city pill.
Everywhere on the mountain paths, the disciples of the True Martial Hall can be seen everywhere, but the number of casual cultivators walking is still quite large, but the scope of action seems to be blocked by an inexplicable obstacle. From the fact that they don't complain much, you can see that this is something that the weak have to face.
Thinking of a big faction like the True Martial Palace, it has also been in their "situation" for a long time. Now that he has the ability, he naturally wants to reclaim the territory he once controlled. And the spiritual materials of heaven and earth in these regions are more important for the cultivation of the Zhenwu Palace, and more important than the benefit of Hongmeng's scattered cultivation. These great truths are self-evident.
Ling Hu Xu was picking a quiet place, put away the treasure fan, and took a second-grade elixir. Start looking for spiritual materials.
The mountains are wide and the vegetation is abundant, and those rare spiritual materials that make the monks of the world covet will not be found casually. After searching for two hours, I found three second-grade spirit grasses and one third-grade spirit fruit tree. In desperation, he sat under a big tree and drank wine, and said to himself incoherently: "If the third brother is here, he will definitely get drunk again." I don't know, he is still afraid of the second brother. However, which time was indeed beaten by the second brother. The second brother is really, isn't it just stealing spirit crystals to buy wine and drink!" As he spoke, his eyes were full of happy memories, and the past seemed to be in front of him.
"Huh, Senior Brother Linghu!" As soon as he finished speaking, a man came out from under another big tree, about sixteen or seven years old. I saw that her face was delicate, her eyes were like meteors, her skin was like cream, and her right hand caressed the hilt of the sword. Long hair is like green silk, lightly falling on the shoulders, a phoenix bun on the top of the head, and wearing a dark flower skirt. Standing on the wilderness, it can really be said: bright as spring, magnificent and elegant.
Ling Hu Xu was stunned, and his whole action was stiff, and he couldn't react for a while.
The girl said again: "Senior Brother Linghu, it's been okay lately! Come to think of it, since Senior Brother Yangming made a big fuss about Zhedao, we haven't spoken again." ”
Ling Hu Xuzheng's heart, "dong dong" only jumped, the action was slightly stiff put away the wine gourd, did not dare to look back, just replied softly: "It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Jing family!"
"Hmph, I know that since Senior Brother Yangming was punished, you won't forgive me, right!"
"No!" Ling Hu Xu was speaking, but these two words were simply spoken, but they were said loudly.
Jing Jinlian's face flushed, and she disappeared in a flash, and asked, "Really?"
"Hmm!"
Jing Jinlian couldn't help laughing, strode over, and like Ling Huxu, leaned on the big tree, and continued: "I remember when I first went to Kaizhe Island, although you were wearing tattered clothes and your right leg was broken, you never cared, you talked and laughed, and your personality was extremely cheerful.
Thinking about it at the beginning, the embarrassing situation could not hide the light of Senior Brother Yangming and you. This also proves the old saying that gold always shines.
Now, it's done. Senior Brother Yang Ming became the eldest disciple of the real person in charge of the sect, and became the next candidate for the head of the sect. And you, Senior Brother Linghu, have also become the leader of our generation.
Although you were rejected by the elders of the Qitang at the grand examination meeting, your little turtle's mid-level Ruyi magic weapon did not lose to anyone. ”
At this point, he suddenly paused again, and when he saw that no one answered, he seemed to say to himself: "Now, you don't say a word to me, as if you don't look down on me anymore!"
"No!" Ling Hu Xuzheng's words seemed to be a kind of roar from the heart, and when he said it, he seemed unfazed, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that after such a long time, she still pays attention to me." In the past, I was ignorant and had the courage to talk and laugh with anyone, but now it's different. People, for various reasons, always have some inexplicable boundaries. ”
Thinking of this, a strange thought arose in my mind, and I asked myself: "Does she pay attention to me, or does she pay attention to my second brother? Or who does she pay more attention to between me and my second brother?"
Then he replied in a deep voice: "Actually, Fu Ziang, the son of the Fu family, is now even more proud. The limelight of him and Senior Brother Gong, Senior Brother Jing and others faintly overshadowed my second brother's momentum. ”
"Hey, Senior Brother Linghu, what do I smell when you say this, there is a strong smell of vinegar?" Jing Jinlian chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Xuzheng, what do you think? ”
"No, no,... , no!" Ling Hu Xu couldn't help but be nervous, "I'm just talking casually!"
Jing Jinlian still smiled and said, "Come on, look at you, I'm nervous." Well, by the way, I almost forgot. Senior Brother Linghu, is your right leg completely as free as an ordinary person? Now looking at your walking, it seems that you are no different from an ordinary person. I'm so happy for you. ”
Ling Hu Xu was putting away the wine gourd, his mood began to calm down, and he replied: "It's almost! It's just that I'm too stupid to sense spiritual power from my legs and use it to absorb cultivation." ”
Jing Jinlian moved a little closer to Linghu Xuzheng, and said coquettishly: "There is also this matter, how to sense spiritual power on the legs? This matter must be said by Senior Brother Yangming nonsense." ”
At least, in the face of very serious matters, he has always been a thousand or ten thousand times more rigorous than others. ”
"You're too confident! But, theoretically, it's possible!" Jing Jinlian suddenly fell into deep thought when she spoke, and after a long time, she said: "I remember my grandfather said that the vast majority of the Dao magic powers cultivated by the human race are performed by both hands, but there are also a small number of Dao magic powers, which can be emitted from other parts of the human body. For example, a person's legs can perform a lot of magical powers. Senior brother, you may be able to consider this aspect. ”
Ling Hu Xuzheng sighed and said, "I still have to discuss this matter with my second brother and see what he says." ”
"You,...... , you're too useless. Jing Jinlian said with a little anger: "As far as I know, when you chose the second-order Dao Shadow Torrent Technique by yourself, didn't you ask Senior Brother Yangming?"
Ling Hu Xuzheng smiled very sweetly in his heart, but he was not a person with super self-control ability in Dugu Yangming, so his inner world would definitely reflect on his face.
Jing Jinlian asked strangely: "What are you laughing at?
Ling Huxu straightened his face and asked resignedly: "You, do you pay more attention to me, or do you pay more attention to my second brother?"
"What?" Jing Jinlian said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is paying attention to him? People all over the world are probably paying attention to him!" As he spoke, he patted Ling Hu Xuzheng's head heavily.
What kind of nameless joy did Hu Xu Zheng have in his heart, he was a little overwhelmed by the torture, and said softly: "You are still the same as before, you like to pat people's heads." Before the words fell, he suddenly lost his temper, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "Senior sister, what kind of spiritual materials are you looking for here alone?" Although the Haiyang Realm has been regained by the sect, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents!"
"Who wants you to care about my safety!" Jing Jinlian said in a coquettish voice, "I came to this mountain, naturally to find Haiyang Jinlian." Right now, I am refining the Four-Grade Spirit Pill Spirit Purple Pill, and I am very short of Haiyang Golden Lotus, one of the main materials. I had to go down the mountain to collect by myself, and by the way, I also experienced some training, so as to prepare for the future training of the sect and the trip to the secret realm. ”
Ling Hu Xu touched his forehead, thoughtfully, and said, "Haven't you been accepted as a personal disciple by Dantang Elder Ru Weizhen?
"Hmph, it's not as simple or easy as you think. Jing Jinlian said a little helplessly: "Although my master will give me some alchemy spiritual materials, my family will also give me a large number of alchemy spiritual materials and inexhaustible spiritual crystals. Although the most prestigious alchemists in Hongmeng are all simmered with countless spiritual materials and spirit crystals, it is still far from enough for those who have a new glimpse of the way of alchemy. Besides, I can't keep losing my family and my teacher. But what makes me even more annoyed is another thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Ling Hu Xuzheng asked solemnly, "With your current status, there should be few things that can't be solved." ”
"Senior Brother Yangming!"
"What? My second brother, what's wrong with him? My second brother really hates you family disciples, but he never takes the initiative to provoke you. I'm still a little sure about this. ”
Jing Jinlian glared, and said angrily: "In terms of the number of spiritual materials and spirit crystals in alchemy, Senior Brother Yangming is less than one ten-thousandth of mine, but his alchemy success rate is one ten-thousandth of me." So, my heart is even more unbalanced. So, I wondered, could that be the case?
Most of my spiritual materials are given by others, and I never collect them myself. In the case of Senior Brother Yangming, it was the opposite, every one of his alchemy spiritual materials was earned by his own hard work. When refining the pill, the requirements for yourself are completely different. Therefore, every time he refines a furnace of elixir, he must be ten million points serious and meticulous, and strive to succeed. ”
Ling Hu Xu was looking at Jing Jinlian, shook his head and said, "Hearing you say that, you don't know my second brother at all. I'll just tell you one thing, I made progress in refining weapons through him. My second brother would never regard spiritual materials and other things outside his body as some kind of treasure. When it doesn't matter, it naturally feels cherished, but after it is used for alchemy, it doesn't matter if it becomes or not. He doesn't even account for these gains and losses. ”
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and said, "Senior sister, it's still early, I'm going to look for spiritual materials again to see if I can get some gains!" When he got up and wanted to leave, he turned back and said: "The mountain shape is complicated, you must be careful." ”
Jing Jinlian suddenly flashed, blocking in front of Ling Hu Xuzheng, quietly staring at the handsome young man in front of her, the autumn waves in her bright eyes were dark, and the fleeting complex emotions between her eyebrows could not escape Ling Hu Xuzheng's eyes.
Ling Hu Xu was looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, his heart was soaring, this feeling was what he was looking forward to day and night, but when he faced it, he didn't have any confidence to face it at all. The eyebrows are also tightly locked.
Jing Jinlian said: "Senior Brother Linghu, do you still remember the agreement between the two of us on Kaizhe Island? The last incident has been known to everyone in the world, but it has also passed." If, from now on, we restart our previous covenant, it will become a secret between the two of us. ”
Ling Hu Xu was stunned and said, "You mean ......!"
"That's right, Senior Brother, what do you think?" Jing Jinlian replied categorically, "I hope that in the next five years, I can become a veritable five-grade alchemist." And with the help of the fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs, if the senior brother can advance to the peak of the Ning Yuan Realm, then the matter of going to the Nine Heavens Secret Realm is basically a certainty. ”
Ling Hu Xu stretched out his right hand and said, "Okay!"
"Smack!" the two palms collided, making a crisp sound that made both of them feel intoxicated. This sound echoed in the hearts of the two for a long time. But they also know that the invisible wall between them is still an insurmountable barrier between the two.
Jing Jinlian said again: "Not far from here, there is a mountain stream called Qingfeng Stream. The terrain there is still good, yin and yang account for half of it, and feng shui is full of spiritual energy. Let's go there and have a look!"
Ling Hu Xu just nodded heavily, and the two followed each other, slightly staggered their shoulders, and walked towards Qingfeng Stream.
After walking out of Erlidi, a voice like a cat's meow came, "Boss, third, fourth, how can I smell the fragrance of a woman......!
