Chapter 8: The spring inside the white lotus is infinite, and the outside of the white lotus is especially impressive
In the White Lotus of the Eight Immortal Caves, because they were in an independent space, Lin Man'er and Feng Lan's demeanor also became more intimate. Fenglan caressed Lin Man'er's cheek, and the joy of reunion after a long absence made her eyes moisten.
Lin Man'er grabbed Fenglan's hand and said with concern: "How have you been doing in the past few years?" ”
Feng Lan nodded vigorously, and his voice was a little choked: "I'm fine." After speaking, his head was attached to Lin Man'er's scarred chest, "Have you run out of the pill I gave you?" ”
Lin Man'er understood what Fenglan meant, smiled innocently, and replied: "I have been fighting with the demon king for the past few years, and I have long been used to it. ”
Fenglan felt sour in his heart, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will buy a beauty pill for you when I go back." It will surely remove the scars on your body. ”
Lin Man'er shook his head and said, "I've eaten the Yan Dan, it's useless." ”
Feng Lan suddenly got up and wondered: "The Beauty Pills are Xuan-rank Nine Rank Pills, how can it be useless?" ”
"The scars on my body are left by different demon kings, and they have been repeated for more than three years, and with the effect of Mu Baolu, they can't be removed for a long time."
Feng Lan reached out and touched the dense scars, as if they were like a layer of armor. She suddenly thought of a situation - physical cultivation, and it was the realm of refining the body. According to the information she checked, the earliest physical cultivation was like Lin Man'er, who kept fighting, getting injured, and recovering. Gradually, the body's resistance has increased accordingly. Later, someone summarized and put forward the concept of the refining body.
In the vernacular, the body refining realm is "beaten first", and when the body resists beating, it will be able to beat others. However, in subsequent developments, drugs were gradually added to replace this behavior that bordered on self-harm.
In order to verify, Feng Lan used his aura and pointed at a thicker scar. As she expected, Lin Man'er was not injured by the finger force. In fact, not to mention Fenglan's insignificant finger, even the second-order Black Bear Demon King failed to hurt Lin Man'er at the beginning. The reason why this situation occurred was also due to the special demon king that Lin Man'er had encountered, as well as the Heavenly Treasures and Wood Treasures that had been devoured for more than three years.
Fenglan sorted out Lin Man'er's shirt, and said sadly and gratifyingly: "I don't care what you become, you will keep it in the future to protect yourself." ”
Lin Man'er nodded and asked about Fenglan's cultivation. Feng Lan suddenly thought of something, pinched Lin Man'er's nose and said, "Se embryo, you are stronger than me now." ”
Lin Man'er also seemed to think of what Feng Lan thought, and explained: "I didn't mean that, I just asked casually." ”
Feng Lan smiled shyly and replied, "Even if you mean that, you can't do it now." We are in the growth stage of our cultivation, and there is no need to waste our energy for the sake of momentary pleasure. ”
After speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and added, "The years ahead are very long, and what you want to do when the time comes, I will depend on you." After speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong again, and added again, "If you like my current appearance, I can take Zhuyan Pill." ”
Lin Man'er shook his head and said, "I heard that eating the Zhuyan Pill will have an impact, so you better not eat it." ”
Feng Lan looked at him with interest and teased: "If I look old, you don't know where to hook up with the little girl." ”
Lin Man'er hurriedly defended: "I won't." ”
Interestingly, a female voice suddenly came out: "Sister Fenglan, don't believe him." ”
Lin Man'er listened to the voice with some impression and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Feng Lan smiled and summoned his divine pet, Xiao Ying.
Lin Man'er looked at Xiao Ying, and saw that she was wearing a golden silk scale armor skirt, and recognized at a glance that it was the golden-winged bee that he had cleaned up in the Octagonal Pavilion. Now, seeing her again, Lin Man'er said a little apologetically: "I didn't know that you were Lan'er's divine pet, otherwise I would have been a little lighter." ”
When Xiao Ying heard this, she snorted angrily: "Sister Fenglan, look at him, you know that you will beat Xiao Ying." ”
Fenglan understands Lin Man'er's character, and at the same time, he also knows that Xiaoying is causing trouble everywhere. At that moment, he admonished: "You must have done something bad, otherwise how could he beat you?" ”
"Sister Fenglan, Xiaoying is wronged. At the beginning, Xiaoying followed your instructions and went to the Octagonal Pavilion to wait for him to come back. But when he saw it, he plotted against Xiaoying, Xiaoying resisted, and finally encountered a poisonous hand. The expression of grievance when he spoke seemed to be the same as the real thing.
However, Feng Lan suddenly got angry and said, "Shut up! ”
"Sister Fenglan, I ......" Xiaoying has never seen Feng Lan get angry, but she doesn't understand what she is wrong.
"That's enough, you have to figure out who you are. If you want to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
At this moment, Xiao Ying was really afraid, so she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The master is angry, Xiao Ying knows his mistake." ”
Feng Lan snorted and directly put it into the Divine Pet Conch.
Seeing Xiao Ying's undecided look, she sighed and said, "You! I don't know anything about our master's mind. ”
Xiao Ying said angrily: "It's all to blame for that Lin Man'er, this king will clean him up sooner or later." ”
Silk Yuan sighed again: "If you continue to mess around, I'm afraid you will ......" The words were not finished, but the meaning was very obvious.
Inside the White Lotus, Lin Man'er looked a little overwhelmed. Seeing this, Feng Lan was angry and funny: "It's just a divine pet that I raised, and I blame me for being too indulgent." ”
Lin Man'er nodded and asked, "Why did she turn into a human form at the second order?" ”
"It was specially selected for me by Shizun, and it is said that it is still a descendant of the Demon Emperor." After speaking, he asked Lin Man'er, "How is the Iron Birch Demon Tree I gave you?" ”
Lin Man'er was a little embarrassed and said: "I've tried my best to raise it, but it's a little stupid, and it's still the little demon king." ”
When Feng Lan heard this, he looked surprised: "What? The Little Demon King? How is this possible? ”
Lin Man'er thought that Feng Lan was blaming him, and said helplessly: "I have taken the risk to get spiritual spring water for it, but it just grows slowly, I really can't help it." ”
Feng Lan took a deep breath and blamed: "The spiritual spring water is in the depths of the Meishan Mountain Range, even if it is the most inferior one, it is guarded by a fourth-order demon king, don't you want to die?" ”
"I can't help it! It said that it would grow faster if it had spiritual spring water, so I went. ”
Feng Lan said with an angry face: "Open the Divine Pet Conch, I will ask it personally." ”
Lin Man'er took out and opened the Maple Leaf Temple. Fenglan Chuanyin asked: "As a divine pet, what are your intentions when you are trapped in danger of your master?" ”
When Da Mao heard this, he hurriedly explained: "I just talked about the growth conditions, and I didn't let the master take risks." ”
"Didn't your inheritance memories tell you that your clan is already growing slowly, so you need to be in such a hurry?"
"I said the same thing, but the master was always too slow, and I had to tell Lingquan about it. I thought that the master would retreat in the face of difficulties, but who knew that the master went bravely and successfully brought back the spiritual spring water. ”
When Fenglan heard this, it was hard to imagine how Lin Man'er "snatched food". However, since the matter has happened, and the result is good, there is no need for her to pursue it further. However, she warned Da Mao that it was a blessing to meet this good master, and that she must do her best to protect his master in the future. Otherwise, she would have tortured him to death with the most cruel methods. And this death refers not to Da Mao, but to her own longevity. She even described several cruel techniques.
After hearing this, Ye Lizi's body was excited, and she thought, this woman is too ruthless, right? As for Da Mao, he didn't care very much, because he felt that once Lin Man'er had an accident, it wouldn't be able to survive on its own.
Feng Lan looked at the Maple Leaf Temple in Lin Man'er's palm, and remembered what Dongfang Qingtang said, and couldn't help but sigh. "The news of you becoming a core disciple will soon reach Ren Wushuang's ears. So you have to be very careful when you do it in the future. ”
"What kind of cultivation is that dog thing now?"
"It's the same as me, but his strength is stronger than mine."
"Do you think I can beat him now?"
"Even if you can beat him, you can't do anything about it!"
"Why?"
"He is now a disciple of the lineage, and the disciple of the lineage is the object of the academy's focus on cultivation and protection. It can be said that even if you lose an elder, you can't lose a descendant disciple. ”
After hearing this, Lin Man'er scratched the back of her head a little irritably. Feng Lan was afraid that he would do something stupid, so he continued to tell about the situation of the Meizhou Branch.
The Meizhou branch was established by the Donghao royal family in order to consolidate its dominance and cultivate talents. Moreover, at the beginning, there was no so-called royal family in the Shenzhou Continent. Later, Emperor Yuan Tian led the human race to conquer the immortal path, in order to prevent foreign tribes from taking the opportunity to invade, specially set up five halls of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and Qilin.
Later, Emperor Yuan Tian established the Heavenly Court, and the situation of the ancestral star was relatively stable. When Emperor Yuan Tian died in battle, Emperor Qitian succeeded to the throne. Since Emperor Qitian was not from the Ancestral Star, his control over the Ancestral Star was also loosened. And the royal family gradually emerged at the end of Emperor Qitian. As for the real establishment of the royal family, it was after the ancestral star was sealed.
The ancestral star was sealed, cutting off the path of Tianzun for cultivators (Tianzun and Xingjun are the same, except that the former is the old name). As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial resources is tantamount to killing their parents. For cultivators, the path to advancement is far more serious than killing their parents.
Later, the cultivators of the Ancestral Star counted this account on the heads of the five major temples. For a time, all the aspiring cultivators took the opportunity to gather forces. Among them, there are five of the most means, namely Bei Minghao, Dongfang Yi, Nangong Lu, Ximen Su, and Xuanyuan Shuo.
Interestingly, all five of them came from the Five Great Temples. Among them, Bei Minghao is from the Xuanwu Palace, Dongfang Yi is from the Qinglong Palace, Nangong Lu is from the Vermilion Bird Palace, Ximen Su is from the White Tiger Palace, and Xuanyuan Shuo is from the Qilin Palace. Moreover, they were among the most outstanding disciples of their time.
Presumably some readers have already guessed that these five people were indeed sent by the five great temples to quell the turmoil. As for their real names, only the hall masters of the five major temples know at present. Unfortunately, power is like poison, and once it is contaminated, it cannot extricate itself.
After the establishment of the five royal families, they each expanded their territory and gradually became free from the control of the five major temples. Until now, the five famous temples have been overshadowed by rising stars.
Presumably, some readers are going to ask again, don't the five major temples care? The answer is, no.
The original intention of the establishment of the Five Great Temples was to protect the Ancestral Star Terran from foreign invasions. Other than that, they must not be involved in any disputes. Of course, if you are threatened, you can take appropriate action. It is precisely because of this that the establishment of the royal family is established!
Having said that, the Donghao royal family first established Donghao College, which was later renamed Guzhou College. Secondly, it was the Kezhou branch that was established, and the Meizhou branch was the latest to be established, and it was also chaotic.
As the saying goes, the emperor is far away, not to mention that the first president of the Meizhou branch is not surnamed Dongfang. As for why Dongfang Qingtang was sent to the Meizhou Branch, I said that readers should be able to guess one thing. That is, after Dongfang Qingsu won the throne, he immediately sent his sister Dongfang Qingtang to the Meizhou Branch.
The Meizhou branch is very chaotic, and in order to ensure the interests of all forces, many rules have been set, and the descendants are one of them.
Although the life span of a practitioner is very long, there will be an end to it one day. Descendants are particularly crucial as a supplement to their power. Before Dongfang Qingtang, the selection of descendants did not rely on the method of assessment, but was chosen by the elders who had the conditions to accept disciples.
Today, the power of the elders to accept disciples has been replaced, but the power of the descendants themselves has been retained. As for the inner disciples and the outer disciples, to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder. And the situation of the core disciples is slightly better, after all, they have the opportunity to become descendant disciples.
Therefore, if Lin Man'er wanted to find trouble with Ren Wushuang in a normal way, it was basically impossible. What's more, behind the current Ren Wushuang is not only the Ren family, but also Elder Ding.
After Fenglan finished telling the inside story she knew, she persuaded Lin Man'er to stop. However, this has seriously violated the original intention of Dongfang Qingtang. Because, what Dongfang Qingtang wants to see is that Lin Man'er is not afraid of power, breaking the rules and stumbling to the death with Ren Wushuang. As for who lives and who dies, it doesn't matter, what matters is that there is such a thing, or a beginning, an excuse.
Feng Lan naturally knew this, but she couldn't watch Lin Man'er fall into a desperate situation, even if this move might affect Dongfang Qingtang's plan. Why is it possible? Because Dongfang Qingtang is far more than Lin Man'er, a chess piece. For example, the Lei Fa Yang side, which has been practicing for more than 800 years, also explains why he has the Five Thunder Fa.
Having said that, when Lin Man'er listened to Fenglan's narration and exhortation, he fell into a short period of contemplation. However, the result of contemplation is that he cannot give up. This is not because Ren Wushuang riskily killed him first, but because of Fenglan.
To be precise, because of the existence of Fenglan, Ren Wushuang will definitely not let him go. This point was said by Ren Wushuang himself, and it was also the main reason why Ren Wushuang finally decided to kill Lin Man'er.
Then, if Lin Man'er wants to protect herself, she is not to give up being the enemy of Ren Wushuang, but to give up Fenglan. However, with Lin Man'er's character, if something hadn't happened overnight, he might have hesitated a little. But it did happen. Therefore, what he gave up was not an ordinary woman, but a wife whom he believed and had already had a relationship.
In this case, let alone Lin Man'er, who is naturally fearless, but any man who is a little bloody will not give away his wife in order to make a living. (Ahem, a friend once said that it didn't make sense for me to arrange the part where I stayed overnight.) Isn't the meaning already out now? )
Dongfang Qingtang is at the pinnacle of power, and he has a thorough understanding of human nature. She was able to understand Fenglan's personality, and agreed to let her go to see Lin Man'er, just because she saw through this. Moreover, she has other plans. In other words, a plan that has been planned for many years and is related to the fate of the Meizhou Branch.
Seeing Lin Man'er's insistence, Fenglan said a little angrily: "Can't you let go of your grievances and think about our future?" ”
Lin Man'er didn't want to put too much pressure on Feng Lan, so she said decisively: "Whoever wants to kill me, I must kill him first." ”
"What should I do if you die?" Fenglan roared out as if venting, which was the voice of her heart that she had suppressed for five years.
Lin Man'er looked at her for a long time, and held back a sentence.
"You... You don't have to worry about me. ”
When Feng Lan heard this, his expression changed, he rode on Lin Man'er, grabbed his neck with both hands, and bit down like crazy......
In the Eight Immortals Cave, Jin Sanpang climbed up from the lotus pond. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the image above the largest white lotus. And when he further saw the scene where Fenglan rode on Lin Man'er and bit him, the whole person was a little uneasy. However, out of the basic morality of his friend, he did not look any further. And, he questioned Yan Ziqi and said, "Senior brother's move is too much, right?" ”
Yan Ziqi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It's not that I did it on purpose. Rather, the white lotus itself was specially transformed to facilitate the observation of the cultivation situation inside. ”
Jin Sanpang thought that he had misheard, plucked out his ears, and asked, "What does Senior Brother mean, is it convenient to observe them creating people?" ”
Yan Ziqi shook his head and explained, "It wasn't that I deliberately asked them to choose that white lotus, but Senior Brother Lin decided it himself. ”
"What? Dead bald people still have this hobby? Jin Sanpang looked disdainful, obviously not believing what Yan Ziqi said.
Yan Ziqi frowned and explained again: "Senior Brother Lin went in before I could explain. ”
"Then why didn't you call them out?"
"It's... Forehead... People are inevitably curious. Yan Ziqi said and slowly raised her head to hide her shy face.
When Jin Sanpang heard this, he felt ...... Makes sense.
So, the two silently reached a consensus. That is, to each his own, and not to each of them, to say no other. However, Fenglan was just suppressed for too long, and he couldn't help himself for a while, and when the venting was over, he would come back to his senses. I saw her lick her lips, then spit to the side and asked, "How long has it been since you took a shower?" ”
Lin Man'er was stunned for a moment, thought about it again, and replied: "It's been more than half a year!" ”
Feng Lan held back his anger and asked again, "Then how did you wash it half a year ago?" ”
"I had a fight with a blue grass carp in the lake. You don't know, that blue grass carp is amazing......" Lin Man'er seemed to open the conversation, and couldn't stop with one mouth.
Feng Lan couldn't bear to interrupt when he saw him like this, but sat next to him and waited quietly for him to finish. After about half a cup of tea, Lin Man'er finally finished his heroic moment, and asked Fenglan if he wanted to eat fish. If he wants to eat it, he can grab another one. Fenglan shook her head again and again, she didn't dare to say it even if she wanted to eat. In case Lin Man'er went up and ran to fight with the Blue Grass Carp King, it would be troublesome.
After a brief silence, Feng Lan took out a jasper pool, which was a treasure she cultivated and bathed in. She put some precious heavenly and earthly treasures into the jasper pool, and then transported the spiritual energy, generated water out of thin air, and heated it.
Seeing this scene, Lin Man'er involuntarily licked his tongue. The same is true for the outer two. However, Feng Lan looked at Lin Man'er with a smile on his face and teased, "Do you want to see it?" ”
Lin Man'er followed her heart and replied truthfully: "Yes." ”
"I miss your uncle, you are a perverted embryo, why don't you get in?"
Lin Man'er sighed regretfully, and at the same time, the two outside were also the same. However, when the two men heard their respective sighs, they pretended to look away.
