Chapter 19: Black Feather
Originally, there was only a mystic power as thin as a gossamer in the dantian, but after several years of cultivation, it has become a small pool.
There is a constant influx of foreign spiritual power, and after being transformed into Xuan Li in the meridians, they want to squeeze into this light blue pool, but every time a trace of new Xuan Power enters, a trace of very light Xuan Power is squeezed out from the other end and flows out of the body along the meridians.
The waterhole did not deepen, nor did it widen, but the color of the pool became darker, but this change was only a subtle change.
At the darkest time before dawn, Chu Xiaowen opened his eyes.
"Obviously, it's just a layer of paper film, but no matter how I impact, I can only make my Xuan power more refined, and it's really difficult to break through the Heavenly Xuan Realm. ”
Chu Xiaowen sighed, stood up, and said to the pool, "Let's go." ”
"Wait for me, alas, can't you wait for me as a man?" Zun Wuyi retracted his feet from the waterhole, and when he saw that Chu Xiaowen had already taken a few steps, he couldn't help but snort angrily, and hurriedly put on his shoes.
Zun Wuyi trotted to catch up, frowned slightly, and taught seriously: "I really don't understand the style, this is a great opportunity for you to show your hospitality, you should come over and help me put on my shoes, so that I will definitely like you more, and you can also take advantage." ”
Although some twelve-year-old young masters have already married, and some gentlemen have tasted women earlier, Chu Xiaowen is obviously not enlightened about these things, and although there is no one more beautiful person in the world than Zun Wuyi, thinking of her identity as a witch, Chu Xiaowen is still the most wary of her.
Chu Xiaowen really couldn't see where Zun Wuyi liked him, and believed that she had more killing intent towards Chu Xiaowen.
When Zun Wuyi was twittering about how Chu Xiaowen should take advantage of himself, the two had already seen the mountain path they were used to, but at this time, there was a rustle in the bushes next to them.
Chu Xiaowen frowned, and immediately hid behind a big tree.
Zun Wuyi squeezed over and put him on Chu Xiaowen's back, and said, "It must be a demon beast, how about catching it and roasting it?"
Chu Xiaowen ignored her, just staring at the bush that made a sound without blinking.
The grass separated, but it was not a beast or a demon beast that came out, because no demon beast in the world would have such a clean and flawless aura, nor would it have such beautiful and lovely eyebrows.
Chu Xiaowen loosened his brows, walked out from behind the tree, and said, "Why are you here?"
Liu Meixue was carrying a bamboo basket and was looking down for something on the ground, and was startled when she suddenly heard a human voice, but after seeing that it was Chu Xiaowen who came out from behind the tree, she immediately relaxed and said slightly: "I was scared to death by you, why are you here?"
"It's best to be scared to death, vixen. Zun Wuyi snorted.
Chu Xiaowen ignored her, walked up to Liu Meixue, and said, "I'm practicing here." ”
"Practice?" Liu Meixue looked at him in surprise and said, "All night here?"
Chu Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Liu Meixue looked at the deep mountain behind him and said with admiration: "No wonder you can reach the peak of the Taixuan Realm so quickly, you have less time in the morning than others, so naturally you have to spend another time cultivating." ”
Chu Xiaowen saw her admiring eyes, smiled, and asked, "Then what are you doing in the mountains at this time?"
Liu Meixue embarrassedly handed over the bamboo basket in her hand, let Chu Xiaowen see some flowers and plants inside, and said: "There are a lot of medicinal materials in this mountain, and people in the city usually don't dare to go up the mountain. ”
Then she asked a little nervously, "I'm embarrassed to ask the people in the villa, can I take these herbs with me?"
Chu Xiaowen nodded and said: "Naturally, although the Chu family also regularly goes into the mountains to collect medicines, but the main source of medicinal materials is not here, as long as you don't pick all the herbs and destroy the growth of the young shoots, no one will say anything about you." ”
"Really. Liu Meixue relaxed and said a little excitedly: "The herbs in here are rare outside, and the year is sufficient, just this basket can be sold for three taels of silver, but my father and mother can't make so much money in a month." ”
Chu Xiaowen was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly patted his head and said, "How could I not think of it." ”
"Because you're stupid. Zun Wuyi happened to interject at this time.
Chu Xiaowen looked at the herbs in the bamboo basket and said with some embarrassment: "Do you know how to distinguish medicinal herbs?
Liu Meixue knew that his family background was worse than her own, and she guessed his thoughts when she saw his spitting appearance, so she said with a smile: "If you want to learn to collect medicine, I can teach you." ”
"Really?"
"Of course, but I have to charge tuition. Liu Meixue said with the appearance of a profiteer.
"This..."Chu Xiaowen hesitated again, but Liu Meixue immediately sneered: "I'm just joking with you, it's not too early, let's go back first, I'll teach you tomorrow." ”
"Well, good. Chu Xiaowen immediately nodded and agreed, if it wasn't really about dawn, he really wanted to pick the medicinal herbs of the next mountain now, this is the silver of white flowers.
The two of them went down the mountain, and when they returned to the villa, it was only slightly bright.
After parting, after breakfast, Chu Xiaowen came to the dojo early.
Xiao Fei was not late because of what happened last night, and even if Chu Xiaowen appeared, he didn't have the slightest intention of opening his eyes.
And not long after, Zun Wuyi, who was sitting with his back against Chu Xiaowen, suddenly snorted, and Chu Xiaowen didn't need to look to know who was coming.
Liu Meixue sat next to Chu Xiaowen very naturally and said, "Why do you come here so early every day?"
Chu Xiaowen opened his eyes and said, "Every morning is the best time to adjust your internal breath, which is very helpful for the spirit and spirit of the whole day. ”
Liu Meixue looked around, except for the two of them and the invisible Zun Wuyi, there was only Xiao Fei in the avenue, and said, "But why are there only the two of you?
Chu Xiaowen smiled: "It's not that I don't understand, but getting up in the morning is a very painful thing for a person." Moreover, no matter how good the spirit is, it will be of little help to cultivation. ”
Liu Meixue sighed and said with a smile: "This is the difference between the two of you and others, they only know your talent, but they can't see your efforts, even if the difference is small, it can be accumulated over time." ”
Chu Xiaowen smiled.
At this time, two more people appeared who surprised Chu Xiaowen.
Chu Li dragged his heavy steps, yawning and being pulled into the dojo by Xiao Ji again and again, for Chu Li, who was used to being lazy, this was the happiest thing in his life.
However, when he saw Chu Xiaowen in the field, both Chu Li and Xiao Ji were all dazzled.
Liu Meixue frowned and whispered to Chu Xiaowen, "They're here." ”
"Xiaowen, Senior Sister Meixue, good morning. Chu Li walked over and said hello.
Chu Xiaowen just nodded, and Liu Meixue was still very nervous in front of the young master of the Chu family, and immediately got up and returned the salute.
"Young Master, Senior Sister Ji. ”
However, Xiao Ji took Liu Meixue's hand very kindly, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you don't need so many courtesies, we are now people studying in the same class, we are all children, and we should love each other." ”
You are not welcome to say it, and pull Liu Meixue to sit down.
Chu Li also sat down next to Chu Xiaowen and said, "My father said that your performance is very good, let me learn more from you, so I was kicked out by him so early, you won't dislike me." ”
The head of the family obviously also noticed Chu Xiaowen, but even the head of the family could not interfere in the affairs in the dojo without Chu Long's permission, so the head of the family only explained that Chu Li was close to him, but there was no other reward, but this was already the most obvious attention, and letting the future head of the family take the initiative to get close to it would mean that Chu Xiaowen's status in the Chu family in the future would not be low.
"This Chu Li is okay, he can't be pretentious, but this little fox is really disgusting. Zun Wuyi also guessed what Chu Mengshen meant, but looking at Xiao Ji, who was talking happily with Liu Meixue, he couldn't help but say authentically.
For Chu Li, Chu Xiaowen didn't have any annoying feelings, but he also agreed with Zun Wuyi's words, it was just a competition, knowing that Chu Xiaowen's talent and future were no worse than Xiao Fei's, Xiao Ji's attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and now he didn't talk to Chu Xiaowen first, but first became familiar with Liu Meixue, so that naturally getting closer to Chu Xiaowen would not make people look abrupt.
Liu Meixue felt that Xiao Ji's attitude was completely different from before, but in Xiao Ji's warm words of cordial concern, she was quickly infected, and she slowly chatted with the other party.
After that, the number of people in the dojo gradually increased, but when he looked at Chu Xiaowen's gaze again, he was no longer contempt, but a little more awe and jealousy.
As for Chu Xingxian and the others, they tried not to look this way, but when they occasionally looked at Chu Li and Xiao Ji who were sitting next to Chu Xiaowen, their eyes inevitably showed a little jealousy, they should have been by Chu Li and Xiao Ji's side.
However, Chu Xiaowen was also a little surprised to find that Bai Xi also followed behind Chu Xingxian and the others again, but with a little fear on his face, a few flattered, and his face really couldn't be said to be very good-looking.
And just as the instructors walked into the dojo, a tall man dressed as a hunter walked into a very remote and dilapidated courtyard outside the mountain.
The small courtyard is located by the river, there are no other houses around, but several woodcutters, farmers and fishermen gather in the courtyard.
The tall man like a hunter looked at the people in the yard and said lightly: "The river is clean today, and you can put fish." ”
And while Orion was talking to the people in the yard, a black feather floated out of the house, and without alarming the people in the yard, it landed lightly on the surface of the river.
