Chapter 10: The Graceful Apologia
"Fang Cai is more offended, and I hope that senior brother Haihan. ”
Sitting at the front of the big gourd, Li Changshou had a calm face, looking at Youqin Xuanya who was bowing his head in front of him, although he wanted to complain in his heart, he could only say two words of nothing.
Li Changshou felt that the gaze that fell on him was no longer the disgust and dissatisfaction he had before, but ......
Full of sympathy and pity.
"Longevity," Jiu Jiu Immortal coughed, and said earnestly, "You should be a demon in your heart, perhaps because you have been closed in the mountains with your master for many years. ”
"Senior Brother Changshou," Yuan Qing floated over from the side, took a bottle of elixir, and said in a low voice: "This is a pill that clears the heart and concentrates the mind, and it may be helpful to Senior Brother's illness." ”
"Thank you, I understand. ”
Li Changshou smiled slightly embarrassed, and Yuan Qing immediately understood something, and skillfully staggered the topic.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Changshou also observed the reactions of the next few people.
Yu Wenling didn't pay attention to this little farce the whole time, and sat there quietly closing his eyes and meditating, very calm.
Liu Yan'er's gaze towards herself was a little more sympathetic, and Wang Qi looked at herself with a look full of emotion.
Presumably to say:
This senior brother (junior brother) has ordinary cultivation qualifications, and he has fallen into such a demon, and it is a luxury to find a Taoist companion in the future, and how difficult it is to live a Taoist life.
- The practice of Taoist couples is still relatively common in the Immortal Gate.
Yuan Qing retreated behind the gourd after a few words of greeting, and Wang Qi took the initiative to come over and talk for a few words.
Li Changshou just smiled and didn't say anything during the whole process.
I feel that in addition to Yuan Qing, these disciples of the same generation who are dedicated to cultivating the Tao, although they are old, their minds are unexpectedly simple......
That's right, these are all 'top students' among the disciples of the same generation, and most of their time is spent on cultivation, and there is not much interpersonal communication.
This little turmoil soon came to an end.
After a while, the gourd was quiet again, and everyone continued to meditate and practice, Li Changshou picked up the book again, and read it with relish, and his mood was not affected at all.
The Jiujiu Immortal sat cross-legged in front with her arms crossed, and she was also thinking about how to help Li Changshou get out of her inner demons and return to a happy life of cultivation.
'Do you want to use a woman's charm to fight poison with poison?'
The wine fairy looked down at his bulging chest, followed by a strange laugh......
suddenly added a setting to himself, and Li Changshou didn't care much about it;
Although this is just an expedient measure to avoid being probed by Uncle Sommelier, he will always pay attention to this detail along the way.
Continued vigilance is not a difficult thing for Li Changshou.
"Senior Brother Changshou," a sudden call came from behind him, Li Changshou turned his head to look, and saw Youqin Xuanya's apologetic face.
Although Li Changshou wanted to say something at this time-[Please maintain the reserve and pride that an iceberg beauty should have], but in the end, he could only show a little smile, waved his hand to signal that she didn't need to say more, turned his head and continued to read the scroll.
Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips, and the apology in her eyes never retreated.
And Li Changshou's spiritual sense keenly caught it, and Yuan Qing, who was closing his eyes behind him, frowned slightly......
......
Two days later.
Dongsheng Shenzhou, which is vast and sparsely populated and full of immortal gates, was gradually left behind.
Along the way, this big gourd flew in the clouds and mist, day and night, and finally arrived at the northwest border of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Li Changshou has never practiced all the way, his attention is kept between inches around him, and the edge of his line of sight can often capture the figure of Yukong flashing in the sky.
Thankfully, they didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.
Jiu Jiu stretched, and the big gourd began to slow down slowly, falling towards the mountains below.
The wine fairy yawned and shouted to the people behind him, "Cheer up, you are about to enter the range of the border of the Ministry Continent."
Listen up, you guys!
Beiju Luzhou is not a good place, and this time you are also here to experience, don't fight for any treasures and elixirs.
Next, I will take you to an entrance to Beiju Luzhou, remember this place, and come to Beiju Luzhou by yourself in the future, don't be stupid and wander around. ”
The five disciples stood up at the same time, bowed to Jiu Jiu, and said in unison, "Follow Uncle Shi's teachings." ”
"Hmm," Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction.
Liu Yan'er asked in a low voice, "Uncle...... Isn't Beiju Luzhou the four major continents? Why is there such a thing as an entrance? Could it be that the miasma here has become a natural array?"
The corners of Jiu Jiu's mouth twitched, and he said indifferently: "Who knows why?" ”
Yuan Qing in the rear said with a smile: "The miasma of Beiju Luzhou is not difficult to resist for a Qi Refiner who has returned to the Void Realm and has been able to form an inner Zhou Tian.
The most troublesome thing here is the poisonous insects and poisonous weeds spawned by the miasma, as well as the fierce beasts and poisonous beasts that plague everywhere, which are very difficult to deal with. ”
"That's not what you asked!"
Jiu Jiu rolled his eyes and scolded Yuan Qing: "What she asked was why there was an entrance, what did you answer about?"
Yuan Qing smiled awkwardly, and could only arch his hand.
Yu Wenling said in a deep voice: "Because of the demon clan." ”
"Yes, it's because of the demon clan that the big general is also quite knowledgeable. ”
Jiu Jiu looked down, controlled the big gourd and fell towards a valley in the mountains, and said:
"The luck of the human race gathers in the southern Ganbu Continent, and the northern Julu Continent is the place of exile of the Wu Clan;
Because in ancient times, in order to support the sky that was about to fall, several saints and masters took action to chop off the four feet of a congenital giant turtle here and made it into a pillar of heaven.
The Xuan Turtle was resentful and depressed in his heart, and his huge body and vast mana turned into a miasma that has lasted for many years in Beiju Luzhou, and if you look to the northwest, it is not a rain cloud. ”
Several people looked at the northwest at the same time, and at this time they were almost down into the mountains, and they could just see the gray-black clouds and mist surging in the sky.
Boundless, boundless.
Jiu Jiu continued:
"The miasma gave birth to many poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, so that ordinary creatures did not dare to approach, and then it also became a place where many strange flowers and fruits thrived, and there were all kinds of fierce beasts and poisonous beasts in it, even if the immortals came, they did not dare to go too deep.
After the Lich War, the remnants of the Wu clan were exiled here, and they went to the extreme north of Beiju Luzhou, where there was ice and snow, and there were few insects and beasts, and they could barely survive, but it was said that they were on the verge of extinction, and it was indeed quite miserable.
And those demon clans who had hatred for the Wu clan, as well as the demon clans who were driven away by our human race qi refiners, all converged towards the border of Beiju Luzhou.
Over time, this narrow area, which spread hundreds of thousands of miles from east to west, became the most important habitat of the demon clan. ”
At this point, Jiu Jiu looked at the expressions of several disciples and found that ...... Except for Li Changshou, they all began to be a little nervous.
The effect is good, and I want to work harder.
Jiu Jiu smiled and said in a deep voice: "Look at the surrounding mountains, there are many big demons and old demons among them, and some of them are extremely terrifying, and they especially like to eat human race qi refiners~"
Several people suddenly became more vigilant, but Li Changshou nodded calmly, and then continued to look down.
Jiu Jiu suddenly felt bored, pointed to the bottom of the gourd, and continued expressionlessly:
"The town below is one of the entrances and exits that our human race masters forcibly opened up and entered Beiju Luzhou, and it is said that there is also a truce with the demon clan for thousands of years, and I don't know when there will be another fight.
When the meeting enters the town, I will take you to buy some miasma amulets and antidote pills.
Although there are these in the door, I don't know who made the rules, but I want to take you to experience the life of a monk and teach you to barter.
Remember, you can't trespass in the sky above this town, there are a few masters in this place, you must always have a heart of awe for the strong, let's fall from the southeast side of the hillside, and walk a mountain road over. ”
The five disciples gave up their orders and kept these warnings of the Nine Nine Immortals in their hearts.
The town is generally located in a valley, and the cliffs on both sides of the valley have been carved out of caves, and there are many plank roads and wooden buildings.
The valley is full of buildings of all kinds, and it looks very cluttered from a distance;
There are magnificent palaces and towering pagodas, but more of them are wooden buildings and earth buildings, and there is no planning in general, only some narrow streets and alleys that can barely pass.
Of course, most of the Qi Refiners are flying in mid-air, and they don't have to walk.
It can be seen that there are not a few monks who go to Beiju Luzhou, and there are people coming and going here, and many Qi refiners set up stalls on the roofs of many wooden buildings and earthen houses, and many medicinal herbs and treasures produced in Beiju Luzhou can be found.
Most of these herbs and treasures are related to the word 'poison'.
Jiu Jiu was familiar with the way, urged out a white cloud, and took the five disciples and Yuwenling around the town for half a circle, comparing left and right in several stalls, before a few of them took out the spirit stones and bought some high-quality and inexpensive elixir talismans.
Huh? Why doesn't this guy move?
Jiu Jiu glanced at Li Changshou, who had been standing behind him with his hands behind his back, sighed in his heart, and casually threw a purse over his shoulder and smashed it into Li Changshou's arms.
This kind of purse is the simplest storage magic weapon, and it is generally used to store a fixed share of spirit stones.
Jiu Jiu complained: "I know that your master doesn't have much to give you, and I don't understand why he has to guard that little peak......
The antidote pill and miasma avoidance charm must be prepared, go buy it quickly, don't grind and chirp for a big man!"
"Uh," Li Changshou was stunned, looked up at the uncle in front of him who didn't like to dress up, and showed a gentle smile.
Such a smile can only be revealed in front of Master and Senior Sister.
He just wanted to explain, he had prepared everything in advance, but before he could say anything, another slender hand handed him over, holding a stack of yellow paper talismans and two fat belly porcelain bottles.
It was the girl with a big sword on her back and a long fiery red dress.
Youqin Xuanya turned her head to look away, and said in a tone as calm as possible:
"It's an apology to my senior brother, I ...... before"
As she spoke, she flicked her fingers and used a lot of dexterity to send the pill and talisman directly to Li Changshou's hands, and then turned around and pretended to be idle and walked to the stall on the side.
Li Changshou felt a little amused, arched his hand at her back, and didn't say much.
This iceberg is definitely not worthy of its name.
