Qingyang looked at the tall monk suspiciously, and couldn't remember who this person was after thinking for a long time, and there were not many monks he knew, and they didn't seem to have anything to do with the monk in front of him. Looking at this figure, it has a fight with the Pi Ying Bear of the beast taming family, could it be that the son of the Pi Ying Bear became a monk here?

The old man Songhe next to him couldn't stand it anymore, coughed, and said, "This is Xuanzhu, the little apprentice of the old monk of the empty space." ”

Xuanzhu? Qingyang's mind suddenly appeared a tiger-headed little novice, but it couldn't coincide with the tower-like monk in front of him. Qingyang didn't understand how the little monk who was too ordinary at the beginning became such a strong man, and he didn't know what he had experienced over the years, and he couldn't find any trace of the beginning.

Qingyang hid his embarrassment and said, "It's Xuanzhu, you have changed so much over the years, I haven't recognized it, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're a head taller than me." ”

"Hehe, yes, you've changed a lot." Xuanzhu smirked.

Without waiting for the two to continue, Songhe Lao Dao suddenly grabbed Qingyang, smashed his mouth and said, "Good boy, you came back from such a long distance, didn't you bring me any gifts?" Master, I haven't drunk alcohol in all these years, and my mouth is about to fade out of a bird. ”

Qingyang smiled: "I heard you say just now that you deceived that person's money to buy wine to drink, life is not so leisurely, how can there be a shortage of wine to drink?" ”

Seeing that the apprentice didn't talk about business, Songhe slapped him on the head, and then dragged Qingyang as he walked: "Don't be verbose, hurry up and enter the house and bring me all the good wine on your body." ”

The three of them entered the side door, Monk Xuanzhu closed the door and went back to report to his master, while Songhe Lao Dao dragged Qingyang all the way to a small courtyard behind Qinglong Mountain.

After entering the house, Qingyang took out a few jars of the latest brewed monkey spirit wine, and the two of them drank while telling their respective experiences after being separated over the years.

Such a good wine, and when the master and apprentice reunited after ten years, the two couldn't help but drink more, chatting while drinking, and drank until dark, Songhe Lao Dao fell asleep, and even Qingyang was rarely drunk, and lay down beside the master all night.

The next morning, Monk Xuanzhu came over with a one-armed old monk, Master Kongshan. The old monk is old, and he has lost an arm, so he has not done anything for a long time, and he is cultivating in a small courtyard not far from the old road of Songhe, and yesterday Xuanzhu told him about the return of Qingyang, and the old monk knew that their master and apprentice were reunited, and they had too much to say, so they didn't come to bother, and they didn't come to visit with their apprentices until this morning.

Seeing Qingyang, seeing the dusty temperament on Qingyang's body, it seemed to be no different from the Xiping and Xining immortal masters he met in the secret land, and the empty monk couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The trip to the secret land is vivid, and I can't imagine that when we meet ten years later, you will also become a Qingyang immortal master." ”

Qingyang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Empty Silence has been friends with my master for decades, and he has been taking care of my master all these years, and he is also my elder, don't call it that." ”

The empty monk nodded and said, "Qingyang came back this time just to see Master?" ”

Qingyang said: "I can't rest assured that Master, I have been dependent on Master since I was a child, and later when I met the opportunity to cultivate immortals, Master gave him to me, and he himself continued to live in the world." I can't forget it, and I can't leave it behind, I have always dreamed that one day, I can continue to live with Master, cultivate together, and move forward hand in hand on the road of cultivating immortals. ”

Master Empty Silence raised his head and said, "Child, you can't forget that your master is human nature, but you are so persistent that you can't afford to let go, it's already a demonic barrier." ”

Songhe Lao Dao also said: "Apprentice, I have already seen it, I have also copied a copy of the longevity formula, I have also tried to practice with Empty Silence and Xuanzhu over the years, but it has no effect, it can be seen that I have no qualifications in this regard." What's more, you also said that only when you reach the foundation building period can you increase your lifespan, and what you can't reach can't get out of the realm of mortals after all, you have cultivated for ten years at a young age and are still far from that position, how can I have any hope at my age? ”

"No matter how little hope is, you have to try before you are willing." Qingyang Road.

This time, Qingyang brought the spirit test disk back, just for the obsession in his heart, and at this time, he did not shy away from the empty monk and Xuanzhu, so he took it out directly and helped Songhe Lao Dao test it once.

The result is naturally that there is no spiritual root, and there are very few people in the world who have immortal roots, and it is already rare for them to be able to appear in Qingyang. Qingyang was unwilling, and tested the old Taoist of Songhe several times, and even tried it with the empty monk and Xuanzhu, and the results were the same.

Master has no spiritual root, it seems that all the preparations he has made are useless, and the only thing he can do now is to prolong Master's life as much as possible, so that he can live happily without illness or disaster in the days to come.

After the test, Qingyang put away the spirit test disk with the same face, and continued to catch up with Master Silent Sky and Monk Xuanzhu, but anyone could feel that Qingyang was forcing a smile. Master Silent Sky and Xuanzhu were bored, so they had to leave.

After that, Qingyang stayed in the master's courtyard, accompanied the master when he was fine, tasted the monkey spirit wine with the master when the alcohol addiction came, and occasionally found the empty old monk to accompany him. The old monk of Empty Silence has profound Buddhism, but he is not as rigid as Monk Xuanzhu, and he does not resist the spiritual wine that Qingyang took out, and he doesn't care that this is a pure land of Buddhism.

During this period of time, Qingyang stewed a pot of porridge with blood lotus root, and watched the master eat it with his own eyes, Qingyang did not tell Songhe Lao Dao the details of the blood lotus root, only said that it had the effect of prolonging life for the elderly, but after taking it, Songhe Lao Dao obviously felt that his body was much better, and his physical fitness and energy in all aspects seemed to be back ten years ago, and the elixir was nothing more than that.

Qingyang tried to communicate with Songhe Laodao, the drunken immortal space can live, and he also raised a spirit monkey by himself, hoping that Songhe Laodao can go with him, and he has no worries from now on. But he was resolutely rejected by Songhe Lao Dao, saying that he had lived freely all his life, and wouldn't he lose his freedom with Qingyang, it would be like going to prison.

In fact, Qingyang understands very well that Songhe's unrestrained temperament is only one aspect, and a more important reason is that the master does not want to drag himself back, and he does not want to become a burden to his apprentices. Songhe Lao Dao refused in every way, and Qingyang could only give up this plan.
