Chapter 13: The Suffering of Loose Practice
That Xiao Er is just a mortal, and he probably often says on weekdays, but he is a treasure for all kinds of spiritual food. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the end, Liu Qinghuan ordered two ordinary dishes, and ordered a spiritual food that restored the aura of the wood system, and a bowl of rice steamed in the spirit valley. That's it, it cost him four spirit stones, and Liu Qinghuan was secretly distressed.
Except for some of the spirit stones left by Xu Yuan when he cultivated to the critical level, he was usually reluctant to use them.
The meal was quickly delivered, and Liu Qinghuan tasted the wood spiritual food, which is said to be the wood spirit fruit and Qinglin leaves, which were crisp and delicious, and turned into a cyan aura when it entered the abdomen, supplementing Liu Qinghuan's spiritual power that was depleted by hurrying.
While eating, he secretly kept an eye on his surroundings.
In addition to himself, there were several other monks present, divided into four small groups, who sat down to drink tea and eat.
Leaning on the left window, there were three men in their twenties, all of whom were cultivating on the seventh or eighth floor of Qi cultivation, and they were talking in a low voice at this time.
Behind them sat a man and a woman. The male is burly and majestic, with six layers of qi training, and the female is charming and charming, and she is cultivated to be seven layers of qi training. The two obviously have a close relationship, and occasionally laugh and laugh.
Sitting in the middle is a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, cultivating to the eighth layer of Qi training, holding a fan in his hand and slowly shaking it, drinking tea slowly.
Behind him sat an old man with a child. The old man couldn't tell his age, but his cultivation was the highest among all the people present, and he had reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation. The boy beside him was only seven or eight years old, and his cultivation was already at the second level of Qi cultivation.
On the right, a teenager sits alone at a table. The young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he had already passed the eighth level of qi cultivation at a young age, and at this time, he looked at the cup of tea in front of him expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh, he was really a frog at the bottom of the well, and in the past two years, he thought that he was not slow to enter the country, but he didn't expect that a mountain was only higher than a mountain.
Halfway through eating, two more people came in from outside, and the middle-aged man in brocade saw it, stood up and arched his hand: "Chen Daoyou, Wu Daoyou." ”
The two walked to the table and sat down, exchanged a few words of greetings, and one of them, who seemed to be quite rough, patted his leg and sighed: "This time I have done a loss-making business! Who would have thought that the disciples of the Qingyu Sect are all brave and good at fighting, and they are extremely difficult!"
"I knew this was the case, but the three of my brothers shouldn't have taken the job of the Huangshan Sect, and they almost lost their lives here!" The young man next to him nodded: "Although the Qingyu Sect was defeated, their Ancestor Shoujing Zhenren escaped with most of the elite disciples and disappeared for a while. Therefore, the Huangshan Sect actually said that we hired casual cultivators did not do our best, and refused to pay the full amount of the spirit stone as agreed, and only paid half of it!"
At this time, a man sitting by the window interjected, he stood up and arched his hand to the man who spoke before, and then said: "I was also going to the Huangshan faction's peripheral hall here to receive the employment honorarium, but what the Taoist friend said is true?"
As soon as these words came out, there were several people who made peace, and it seemed that they were all hired by the Huangshan faction to deal with the scattered cultivators of the Qingyu faction this time.
"Isn't it!" The rugged man stood up and said: "That Huangshan faction has the support of the Shaoyang faction behind it, and originally wanted to rob the newly discovered spirit stone mine of the Qingyu faction, but who knew that the disciples of the Qingyu faction were all strong in spells and sharp in attack, so that they had no power to fight back for a while, and invited me to wait for the scattered cultivators to help." Who knew that I wouldn't admit it after the matter was completed, I couldn't bear it!"
Liu Qinghuan quietly listened to everyone's conversation and slowly sorted out the clues.
It turned out that the cause of this war between the two factions was that the Qingyu faction had discovered a new spirit stone mine in the Hengwu Mountain Range, where the two factions intersected. The preciousness of the spirit stone mine, there is no need to say much about the Xiuzhen sect, even if there is only a small mine with small reserves discovered this time, the Huangshan faction does not hesitate to provoke a big war for this.
It's just that I didn't expect the Qingyu faction to be extremely difficult to bite, although the Huangshan faction narrowly won, it was also swallowed out of a mouthful of teeth, and its disciples were killed and injured countless times.
Figuring out the general ins and outs, Liu Qinghuan was too lazy to join in the fun, and after eating, he invited the shopkeeper.
The little second led him to the back, but he didn't expect that the back of this building was huge, and there were all independent courtyards, not the guest rooms that Liu Qinghuan thought, all of them were shrouded in a hazy white mist, which made people look unreal. The courtyard is separated by a small garden, with flowers and trees, and fountains, and the pattern is very elegant. The small courtyards are hidden in them, do not interfere with each other, and are extremely quiet.
Xiao Er led him to the front of a courtyard and handed him a jade plaque, saying that it was a forbidden token for this courtyard.
Liu Qinghuan took it, thought about it, injected his aura into it, and waved it at the white mist in front of him. I saw a white light shoot out from the jade plate, and a light hole appeared on the white mist that was just enough for people to pass through.
"In this way, the little one will retire first." Xiao Er, who led the way, bowed to him and said: "The immortal master can enjoy everything in the courtyard, if you want to eat, you can shake the bell in the courtyard, and someone will bring a sumptuous meal, or you can go to the front lobby to eat." If there are other requirements, you can also inform them through the rattle, and the building will do its best to meet the requirements of the immortal master. ”
Liu Qinghuan nodded to him, turned around and entered the courtyard, and the light hole behind him gradually disappeared.
I saw that the courtyard was full of wisteria flowers, which were blooming brilliantly at this time, and a large area of purple like clouds seemed to be burning. In front of the three houses with blue walls and tiles, Liu Qinghuan pushed open the door of the main house, and there was a yellow rosewood case against the wall opposite the door, with celadon tea sets and incense burners, and there were three wooden chairs with backrests on both sides, all of which were yellow rosewood. One of the two rooms on the left and right is a study, the other is a bedroom, and there is a quiet room behind the study, with a fine carpet on the floor and a green forged futon.
After using spiritual power to travel for two days in a row, Liu Qinghuan was already quite tired, so he turned into the bedroom and fell asleep, and slept until the next day before waking up.
In the next few days, he spent most of his time cultivating in the ashram, occasionally going to the front hall to sit, and once again he met the middle-aged people he saw that day. It's just that the faces of several people are not very good-looking, and it is obvious that the matter of going to Huangshan to ask for salary is not going well.
I also thought about whether to find a Fu family, but he has already embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, and it is not appropriate to have more involvement with the world. Second, the kindness of the Fu family has been almost the same, Pingshui meets, and since then they have their own destiny, if there is a fate to meet again in the future, if he can do it, he will naturally be able to help.
Five days later, Liu Qinghuan went to pick up the newly made clothes early in the morning, looked at the map, and went out of the city to the east.
Liu Qinghuan's destination, Haoyuan City, is extremely far away from Tongda City, located in the middle of the Yunmengze Continent, facing the Quyan Swamp, and is the largest city of scattered cultivation in the world of cultivating immortals. He was not in a hurry to travel, the distance was too far, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he used the clouds to hurry during the day, and found a secluded place to meditate and practice at night.
On this day, passing through a forest, two people turned out from behind the big tree in front of him, blocking Liu Qinghuan's way.
Liu Qinghuan's heart sank. He had seen these two people, that is, a man and a woman at the table next to him when he had dinner in Huide Building on the first day. The man was rough and tall, with a figure like a bear, and the woman was enchanting and charming, twisting the waist of the water snake and walking towards Liu Qinghuan with a smile:
"Little Daoist friend can tell me to wait for my husband and wife! Sister, I have been waiting here for three days, and the little brother has only arrived, and the pace is too slow. After speaking, he threw a wink at Liu Qinghuan.
