Senior nephew Xu, you've only been out for a year, why have you already come back?"
As soon as Xu Qingfan landed in front of the door of the "Baicao Garden" with the "Wanli Cloud", an old and hoarse voice came from the courtyard. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network
Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he pushed open the door of the "Baicao Garden", and said with a smile to an old man in the courtyard who was cleaning up the flowers and plants: "The juniors have been out for a year this time, and the others have complained that the juniors have been down the mountain for too long and have disappeared, but Uncle Liu, you alone think that the juniors have gone out for too short." "He was very familiar with the old man, so he usually seemed more casual.
The old man's face was wrinkled and covered with age spots, and his skin had a faint dead gray color. The figure that should have been very tall has become thin and withered under the erosion of time, almost all of his hair has fallen out, and the whole person has a strong smell of years of precipitation, and his appearance is much older than any elder Xu Qingfan has seen before.
This old man is Liu Huaxiang, who is in charge of the "Baicao Garden". At this time, he was dressed as a flower farmer, squatting on the ground and cleaning up the flowers and plants on the ground. Although he looks extremely old, he is in good spirits, and his hands are also very steady when fiddling with flowers and plants. Although the cold wind was fierce on the top of Jiuhua Mountain, the old man was only wearing a linen single coat. Sensing that Xu Qingfan was turning his head and looking at him with a smile after he came in, his face was kind, and he looked like a kind elder after seeing his beloved junior, how could he have half of the strange temper spread by the outside world? .
According to Yue Qingru back then, this Uncle Liu was already nine hundred years old, but Xu Qingfan was always far more than that. That Zhang Hualing, Xiao Huazhe and the others are older than Uncle Liu, and their skills are comparable to each other, but their image is obviously much younger than Uncle Liu, and Xu Qingfan always looks at Uncle Liu from a certain look and eyes that Uncle Liu occasionally shows. I sensed a strong sense of the vicissitudes of time, stronger than anyone Xu Qingfan had seen before. It's just that this Uncle Liu knows the root after all, and he started more than ten years later than Xu Qingfan's master Lu Huayan, so although Xu Qingfan always couldn't help but doubt his age, it has always been just a flash.
Compared to the dilapidated exterior of the "Herb Garden", the interior of the "Herb Garden" is even more messy. In the middle of the courtyard sits a dilapidated house, apparently Liu Huaxiang's usual residence. Countless flowers and plants with bright or strange or simple appearances are densely scattered all over the courtyard. However, the various elixirs that should have been planted in the "Hundred Herb Garden" are rarely seen.
"It's hard to go down the mountain once, and of course you have to play for a while. Although the scenery of this Jiuhua mountain is also beautiful, I have seen it for so many years. No matter how beautiful it is, it should feel tired. And I am tired and panicked from meditating all day long, and it is good to go down the mountain to play for a few more years to relax and feel good, anyway, like us immortal cultivators, we have a lot of time.
Besides, after only going out for a year, how many exotic flowers and plants can you collect?" After carefully looking at Xu Qingfan a few times, a strange light flashed in Liu Huaxiang's eyes. It seems that he has found something strange, but he still says with a smile.
Liu Huaxiang's words. If it is heard by other immortal cultivators, even if it will not be regarded as an apostasy, it will be enough to shock and impeach the vulgar. For immortal cultivators, the road to immortality is long, and the further they go, the more difficult it is to move an inch. The time spent on the cultivation ground is not enough in any case, so how can you "relax for a few years" as the old man said?
Sometimes Xu Qingfan also feels that the reason why this strange-tempered Uncle Liu looks at him differently. In addition to the fact that he is as interested in all kinds of exotic flowers and plants as he is, the bigger reason is probably because his attitude towards cultivating immortals is very similar to him in some way.
"In fact, the juniors have also thought about playing at the bottom of the mountain for a few more years, but the newcomer competition jointly held by the six holy places is already close at hand, so the juniors should come back early to make more preparations. Xu Qingfan explained with a smile.
When Liu Huaxiang heard Xu Qingfan talk about the "newcomer competition", a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Oh, by the way, Senior nephew Xu, you still have to participate in the newcomer competition in two years, but I forgot about it." However, this year's newcomer Dabi may be very interesting, and many old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time may come out to join in the fun. ”
When Liu Huaxiang said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone that could not be concealed.
After Xu Qingfan heard Liu Huaxiang's words, he couldn't help frowning secretly in his heart, and always felt that there should be another meaning in this sentence. But Xu Qingfan knew that since Uncle Liu didn't say it explicitly, it meant that he didn't want to say more to himself, so he didn't ask more. Just asked: "Listen to Uncle Liu, will you also go to watch the newcomer competition together in two years?"
Liu Huaxiang shook his head and said, "I'm old and can't walk, so it's better to stay in the door with peace of mind." What's more, maybe those old friends will come to Jiuhuamen to find me in person. Saying that, the old man seemed unwilling to continue on this topic, and instead asked Xu Qingfan: "This time you went down the mountain, Master Xu, have you solved the fate of the mortal world?"
Seeing that Liu Huaxiang was changing the topic, Xu Qingfan did not continue, but smiled and put in front of Liu Huaxiang one by one the seeds of exotic flowers and plants that he had collected in the Southern Wilderness and Middle Earth in the past year, and told Liu Huaxiang their names and characteristics one by one.
"This is the seed of the mud fruit, which I collected in Hengshan County, Middle-earth. When the fruit grows into a fruit about the size of a fist, it is gray in color, and when it is cracked, it will flow out a pulp white juice, and it is extremely sticky. ”
"This is the seed of the xenomorph Qin King Ficus, which grows into many branches, and when the wind blows the branches, it emits various sounds to charm creatures within a radius of one mile. It's very rare. ”
"This is the seed of sawn grass, which I collected in the Southern Wilderness, and the edge of the blade is saw-shaped, which is sharper than that of blade grass, and once a person or animal is scratched by it, it will produce a strong paralyzing feeling, which will not disappear for several days. ”
"This is the seed of the Gathering Spirit Grass, which is the most rare, and it can automatically gather and absorb the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon. I got it from a market. If it is planted around the cave, the concentration of aura around the cave will increase a lot. ”
......
When Xu Qingfan placed the seeds of the strange flowers and plants he had collected in front of Liu Huaxiang one by one and introduced all their characteristics, the surprise in Liu Huaxiang's originally calm eyes became more and more intense, and when Xu Qingfan took out the seeds of the man-eating flower, Liu Huaxiang snatched it from Xu Qingfan's hands. Playing and watching carefully, I look like I can't put it down.
Hua Xiang's look of finding a good toy, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel funny, "I also ask Uncle Liu, you can help me plant more spirit gathering grass, so that the younger generation can transplant it around the cave in the future and increase the aura of the cave mansion." ”
Heard Xu Qingfan's words. Liu Huaxiang looked up in surprise and asked, "Didn't you cultivate the 'Withered Glory Decision'? Why do you want me to help you plant the 'Gathering Spirit Grass'? Isn't it okay to make some yourself?"
Xu Qingfan explained with a wry smile: "How can it be so easy, the "Dry Glory Decision" can indeed turn all kinds of plants in heaven and earth for their own use, but if you want to maintain the existence of these plants, you must continue to inject aura into the plants. Once the aura is no longer fused, the plants will immediately dissipate into nothingness. If you let the younger generation turn into 'Gathering Spirit Grass' by yourself. Maintaining the daily storage of these 'Gathering Spirit Grass' will put a heavy burden on the younger generation, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to transplant some. ”
Hearing Xu Qingfan's explanation, Liu Huaxiang said a little abruptly: "In this way, I used to think that if "Dry Glory Decision" can really transform all kinds of plants in the world without limits. That's too mysterious, and it seems that there are still a lot of restrictions. ”
Xu Qingfan nodded and said, "It's true." Although the younger generation's "Withering Glory Decision" is still mysterious, the aura consumed to display it is also huge. ”
Then, Xu Qingfan and Liu Huaxiang talked about some strange flowers and plants, from the Southern Wilderness to the East China Sea, from the North Pole to the Western Desert. The exotic flowers and plants from all over the world were taken out by the two of them and discussed. Both of them were very interested in this topic, so time passed silently in the discussion between the two, and the two of them were still unconscious.
When Xu Qingfan accidentally noticed that the sun was dim. I was slightly stunned, but I didn't expect the time to be almost evening unconsciously, so I bowed slightly to Liu Huaxiang and said, "It's not early, and the juniors should go back." ”
Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Liu Huaxiang also realized that the sun had set in the west, but he didn't answer Xu Qingfan's words this time, but nodded and said lightly: "Yes, it's not too early, and it's time to teach you how to refine the residual demonic qi in your body." ”
Hearing Liu Huaxiang's words, Xu Qingfan was shocked in his heart, and asked incredibly: "Senior, do you mean that there is still demonic energy left on the junior?"
While speaking, Xu Qingfan also hurriedly used the withering and honoring qi in his body, but he didn't find anything wrong.
But Xu Qingfan knew that Liu Huaxiang's skill realm was far superior to his own, and he didn't know his experience in the past year, he said that it should be true that there was still demonic energy in his body, but he couldn't detect it with his current skills.
Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Liu Huaxiang nodded slightly to express his certainty, but unlike Xu Qingfan, his expression at this time did not have a trace of nervousness, but asked with a smile: "Did Senior Nephew Xu meet a demon cultivator when he went down the mountain this time?" Or did he encounter the 'Nine Demon Beads'?"
"It's the 'Nine Magic Beads'. Xu Qingfan said with a wry smile.
Seeing Liu Huaxiang's relaxed expression, Xu Qingfan's originally nervous mood also relaxed slightly, knowing that Liu Huaxiang should have a solution. Because it was related to Ting'er, Xu Qingfan didn't plan to tell others about his experience after going down the mountain, but since Liu Huaxiang had already seen that there was still demonic energy in his body, it was more related to his own safety, and Xu Qingfan also knew that Liu Huaxiang's heart would not care about Ting'er, so he told Liu Huaxiang about his experience after going down the mountain.
When Xu Qingfan was talking, Liu Huaxiang had just listened silently, and there was silence in his eyes. It was only when Xu Qingfan said Xuanmoda that there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes.
When Xu Qingfan finished telling his experience, Liu Huaxiang nodded slightly and said: "The demonic qi is composed of the world's evil qi, and it is the most treacherous. Demon cultivators can always cause a huge catastrophe in the immortal cultivation world with the power of a few people, how can the demonic qi they cultivate be so simple? It should be that when you were fighting Na Xiu, when his demonic sword stabbed your body, he had already left some demonic qi on you, and later when you were probing the situation in Ting'er's body, some of the spiritual qi was eroded by demonic qi. Although you later refined those demonic qis, there are still some remnants, but the amount is too small for you to notice. In this way, one after the other, there are two more demonic qi in your body, one corrodes your body, and the other corrodes your aura, and now you don't find it because the number is too small, but when you find out, I'm afraid that your mind has been controlled by demonic qi. ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Huaxiang glanced up at Xu Qingfan, and found that although Xu Qingfan's face couldn't help showing a trace of fear now, his expression still seemed calm and calm, and he couldn't help but nod approvingly, and continued: "But you don't have to panic, if this demonic qi wants to affect you, it will take at least a few years to have an impact on you." I am now passing on to you a set of exercises, which are used to refine the foreign qi in the body, and you can run it once a day before and after meditating, and after a few months, you will naturally have no worries. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. After Xu Qingfan heard Liu Huaxiang's words, he bowed deeply to Liu Huaxiang and said gratefully.
Liu Huaxiang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's just easy, anyway, this set of exercises is not particularly clever, just think it's me thanking you for helping me collect the seeds of these strange flowers and plants." As he spoke, Liu Huaxiang explained this set of exercises to Xu Qingfan in detail.
After speaking, Liu Huaxiang confirmed again whether Xu Qingfan had remembered and understood, and after getting a positive answer, his face showed a slight hint of relief. Then he seemed to think of something again, and said, "Wait a minute." ”
After saying that, Liu Huaxiang turned around and walked slowly towards his dilapidated room. After a long time, he came out of the room, but there was a three-foot-long stick-like object in his hand, exuding a thick wood fire, and the outside was wrapped in a yellow wide cloth, so that people could not see what was inside.
After Liu Huaxiang walked to Xu Qingfan's side, he handed the long stick-like object to Xu Qingfan, and said with a smile: "This is given to you, it may be of great use to you." ”
