The morning glow fills the sky, a light mist appears on the hillside, and the dew condenses among the green leaves, making it crystal clear. The gurgling stream at the foot of the mountain is surrounded by spiritual energy, which is refreshing and refreshing.
"Boy, wake up!"
Tian Xia Shi appeared and appeared quietly beside Ye Ling, waking up the young man who had been meditating all night. Ye Ling couldn't see through Tian Xia's cultivation, but it was difficult to detect his whereabouts every time.
Seeing Ye Ling open his eyes, Tian Xiashi threw a gourd and scoop: "Don't be idle when you stay here. Help me water the children."
Ye Ling nodded, got up and went to get the bucket to carry water. This time he didn't dare to drink from the well again. But in my heart, I wondered why this water contained such strong vitality.
He lay down by the well and looked longingly, but he didn't see anything strange. It was just like an ordinary well. The water brought up is clear and cold, and you can faintly see the light mist of spiritual energy. It is extraordinary.
He carried a bucket to the hillside and splashed it. The spiritual creatures in the field stretched out their leaves and emitted bursts of medicinal fragrance. If an ordinary person just smelled this fragrance, he would be able to live longer and avoid all kinds of diseases.
It's a pity that Ye Ling doesn't understand pharmacology and doesn't recognize many of the medicines here, let alone the year. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be so calm.
After pouring two buckets of water, Ye Ling went back to pick it up, only to see a little girl with pink makeup appearing in the yard at some point: "
Her eyes are clear and watery, and her head is pierced with two flowers pointing towards the sky. He looks only ** years old, but who knows how many thousands of years he has survived. Originally a natural treasure, he innocently attracted enemies. If you don't meet a kind person to save you, you will become a prisoner in this life. "
The little girl hid behind a willow tree by the well and leaned out half of her body to look at Ye Ling. Her eyes were full of curiosity and panic. When she saw Ye Ling approaching, she shrank back. She was very timid.
Ye Ling came closer and said to the little girl, "My name is Ye Ling, what's your name?"
"Ling~Ling'er~"
"Ling'er," Ye Ling took out a spar from his jasper finger. It was carved into the shape of a puppy, with a light halo and vivid appearance: "This is for you!"
Ling'er's eyes showed joy, but she was still too timid to step forward. After hesitating for a while, she turned around and Ye Ling stuffed the crystal into his hand.
Seeing the little girl happily playing with the toys in her hands, Ye Ling was horrified. His spiritual consciousness was so powerful that he could sense the majestic spiritual energy in the little girl in front of him, which was simply incredible.
At this time, Tian Xiashi walked over slowly and was slightly surprised when he saw the little girl: "Ling'er, why did you show up?"
When Ling'er saw Tian Xia Shi, she smiled happily, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and threw herself into Tian Xia Shi's arms.
Before Ye Ling could ask, Tian Xiashi said in a deep voice: "Don't reveal anything about Ling'er to the outside world!"
Ye Ling's nerves tensed up, and he looked at Ling'er who was running to look at the flowers and plants, and said, "This little girl seems...not an ordinary person."
"She is not a human at all," Tian Xiashi said: "Ling'er was born in an innate spiritual spring, which is actually the consciousness produced by the spiritual spring. Later, she inhabited many spiritual springs and became the eternal spring spirit. .”
"Wherever Ling'er is, ordinary water can also turn into spiritual springs. This is why the well water almost caused you to swell to death. If it weren't for your strong physique, which is far beyond the Lingxu realm, others would have been there by now. He exploded and died."
Hearing this, Ye Ling looked at Ling'er with some surprise. This little girl has clear eyes, and she is such a strange thing without having to deal with it. But he also immediately understood what Tianxiashi said.
Being able to turn water into a spiritual spring at will, such a method will definitely be fought for, even more crazy than a heaven-level Taoist weapon!
Tian Xia glanced at Ye Ling out of the corner of his eye and said slowly: "Since she followed me to the Holy Spirit Sect, Ling'er has not been seen for a long time. She suddenly appeared today. She must like you very much."
"I?"
Ye Ling looked at Ling'er, and Ling'er happened to be looking at Ye Ling as well. Their eyes met, Ling'er showed a sweet smile, just like the breeze blowing on the face and the rain washing away the dust, leaving no distracting thoughts.
As soon as Ling'er appeared, the elixirs in the garden began to dance and play with Ling'er as if they had gained consciousness.
Tian Xiashi added: "Ling'er is an innate creature with a pure heart. If he is captured by a sinister person, his life may be in danger. The old man thinks you are an upright person, but if you dare to have any evil thoughts, , I guarantee you won’t get out of my manor alive!”
Ye Ling naturally understood that with Ling'er's physique, if it was refined by a monk, it would be unknown how much cultivation it could increase. Moreover, it was the purest spiritual energy in the world, which really made most monks crazy.
But Ye Ling smiled slightly and said: "Senior, I look down on me. I am not the kind of person who pursues the great path by benefiting myself at the expense of others!"
"hope so!"
Tian Xiashi's eyes changed and he said to Ye Ling: "Please keep an eye on Ling'er for me. I have some things to deal with. I'll come back as soon as I go."
After saying that, Tian Xia Shi took one step and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Ye Ling wanted to follow Tian Xiashi's words and walked to Ling'er. Ling'er said to Ye Ling: "Brother, look, these flowers and plants are all Ling'er's good friends!"
Ye Ling asked: "Do they also have will?"
"Of course," Ling'er said with her eyes closed: "Ling'er can hear what they say, and they all say that the elder brother is a good person."
"Oh?" Ye Ling couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why do they think so?"
"It's the heart!" Ling'er put her hand on her chest and said, "The vegetation is the most sensitive. Although they can't speak, they have a keen sense of everything around them. They said that everyone who comes to this manor has seen They all have greedy thoughts in their hearts, but you don’t, so they think you are a good person.”
Ye Ling looked at the elixirs and grasses around him with some surprise. He really didn't expect that these plants that were usually ignored by people actually had their own thoughts.
But Ye Ling suddenly remembered what Tian Xiashi said to him before: "The things in the world are nothing more than grass and trees." Does this also mean something like this?
At the same time, Ye Ling was even more surprised that Ling'er could sense plants. It was incredible.
…………
The path was winding, and a slovenly old man was swaying forward. If Ye Ling saw it, he would definitely recognize it at a glance. This old man was the mad doctor who treated his injuries in the town.
While the mad doctor was walking away, Tian Xiashi suddenly appeared in front of him, pushed the bamboo hat behind his head and said: "Old madman, are you going to cause trouble with me again?"
When the mad doctor saw what Tian Xia was doing, he snorted coldly: "You old man, you actually sold me fake medicine, causing me to waste all the potions. I'm not done with you anymore!"
"Old bastard, you are such a mouthful!" Takashiro was not polite: "My children are all treasures in the world and rarities in the fairyland. You, a dim-sighted, shameless old loser, deserve nothing!"
"Old bastard, you really think I don't dare to hit you!"
"Come here if you have the ability. Let me see if you have made any progress in the past few hundred years!"
"come here!"
"You come here first!"
"..."
The two old men quarreling in front of each other was really interesting, and many people stopped to watch the rare excitement.
But some people had other thoughts, and saw a few people in the distance surrounding a young man in blue. Someone smiled and said: "Sir, Mr. Tian is not here, so you can go and look for him at this time."
"Okay!" The young man in blue nodded with a smile and closed the folding fan in his hand: "Just keep an eye on this place and send a signal at any time if anything happens. The others must follow me to Old Man Tian's garden, and they must be quick!"
"As you command!"
…………
But Ye Ling followed Ling'er and played with a garden of fairy grass. Looking at the little girl's innocent face, Ye Ling couldn't help but think of Lian'er he met in the Demon Realm, and Qing Yi in the town.
"I wonder how they are doing now."
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Ling'er blinked and looked at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Big brother is thinking of two little girls who are as lively and cheerful as Ling'er. If there is a chance in the future, can I introduce you as friends?"
"Okay! Okay! Ling'er likes to make friends the most!" Ling'er jumped happily. She will be very careful when dealing with strangers, but after getting to know them well, she is no longer wary.
Ye Ling sighed secretly, with Ling'er's temperament, if he met someone with ulterior motives, he would definitely do something bad.
While he was talking, Ling'er suddenly looked startled and said to Ye Ling: "Brother, someone is coming, I want to hide first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling'er's body dispersed into a burst of mist and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Ling frowned, and it took a while for his consciousness to detect someone approaching the garden. He couldn't help but sigh that this Ling'er was indeed transformed from an innate spiritual being, so keen.
Ye Ling was worried that it was the group of birds and beasts that came to cause trouble yesterday again, so he went to get straw clothes and bamboo hats. But as soon as he came out of the yard, he saw that it was not birds and beasts, but five human monks. The leader was blue and his face was like water. He is handsome, and the folding fan in his hand has a Taoist charm, and it seems to be a fine Taoist tool.
When several people approached, one of the monks stepped forward and shouted: "You bastard, why don't you show respect to the young master?"
Ye Ling didn't know anyone from the Holy Spirit Sect. Seeing this behavior, he knew that this young man should be a prominent figure in the sect. He now had a special status and tried not to cause trouble.
Therefore, Ye Ling quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Greetings, Young Master!"
The young man in blue nodded, and the man next to him asked: "Who are you, and why are you in Old Man Tian's garden?"
Ye Ling rolled his eyes and replied: "The villain is a new handyman who was brought here by Senior Tian to guard the vegetable garden."
"oh?"
The man frowned slightly, and the others couldn't believe it. Tian Xia has a special temperament and never needs other servants to do things. Otherwise, the people in the church who covet the treasures in the garden would have put their cronies in.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Ye Ling wasn't in a hurry. He just put on his bamboo hat and a bucket and said, "If you don't believe me, I can't help you. Senior Tian has ordered me to water the ground. If you have nothing to do, please do it yourself." "
With that said, Ye Ling turned back to the yard to fetch water.
"presumptuous!"
The follower was about to explode, but was stopped by the young man in blue. Seeing that Ye Ling was so arrogant, he had a certain charm about Tian Xia Shi, and they couldn't bear to believe him.
So, the young man in blue smiled and said: "My name is Li Jingming, and I am the son of Li Chunyuan, the leader of the Ritang Hall."
Ye Ling looked back at Li Jingming and said nothing. Although he knew that the master of the fourth hall had a very high status in the sect, there was no need to deliberately flatter him.
Seeing Ye Ling's indifference, Li Jingming completely believed Ye Ling's identity and said, "I have something to discuss with Senior Tian. I wonder if he is in the garden?"
Ye Ling held the wooden bucket and said, "Senior has gone out and hasn't returned yet. Young Master Li should come back another day."
Li Jingming smiled and said: "Since senior is not here, I will go in and wait for him to come back. Then this..."
As he spoke, Li Jingming pointed to the void in front of him. There was a layer of transparent restrictions here, preventing outsiders from entering easily.
Regarding this point, Ye Ling was also very surprised. When he accidentally broke in the night before, he was not blocked by this restriction. Sheng Qingyao and the other three were also able to come and go freely. Could it be that this restriction varies from person to person?
But Ye Ling shook his head and said: "Master Li, this restriction was set by senior. You can't break it, and the villain is even more powerless. If you want to wait for senior to come back, please wait outside."
With that said, Ye Ling started watering the ground again. Strange to say, this field not only grows some magical medicine and fairy grass, but also a lot of common cabbage and radish, which are also watered by the spiritual spring in the well. If other monks see it, they can only be heartbroken. Call out for the waste of natural resources.
Tian Xia didn't care at all, and Ye Ling didn't feel bad at all. In fact, he didn't know much about the function of this kind of spiritual spring. He only knew that it was good for monks, that's all.
Li Jingming stood in the air, looking at the busy Ye Ling with a smile but not a smile. He was born in a noble family and was arrogant about being superior to others. I thought that by saying a few words to Ye Ling, I could get Ye Ling to flatter him and take him in. Who would have thought that Ye Ling was so indifferent, and he was immediately worried about his face.
A few people on the side deserved to be around Li Jingming for a long time. They could see Li Jingming's thoughts at a glance and shouted: "Boy, you really don't know how to show appreciation. You are looking down on you when I point you. Even if Old Man Tian is here, he won't do it." How dare you speak to our young master like this!"
"If you are wise, quickly open the restriction, otherwise I will make your life worse than death!"
Li Jingming waved his fan and remained silent, letting his followers speak harshly, and his face slowly turned cold.
Ye Ling didn't care. He knew in his heart: "If you could come in, would you still be making noise here?"
However, what Ye Ling didn't expect was that a golden light suddenly flashed across the sky and landed on the restriction. The restriction cracked open with a loud roar.
Li Jingming and others couldn't care less who came to help, so they quickly rushed in and stood on the hillside.
Ye Ling was shocked, but he still pretended to be calm. He held the bucket and said, "Since Mr. Li has come in, please wait inside."
"You fucking..."
The two followers stepped forward to teach Ye Ling a lesson. They both had Lingxu realm cultivation, so they naturally did not take Ye Ling seriously as a servant.
Li Jingming completely ignored it. He was degrading himself by arguing with a servant. What's more, he came here to find something and couldn't tolerate wasting time on Ye Ling.
Ye Ling saw the two followers approaching, neither hiding nor evading, and said coldly: "This is Senior Tian's residence. Aren't you afraid if you dare to act wild here?"
The two people were not angry but laughed: "Boy, you are really a newborn calf, you don't understand any rules."
"My master is the leader of the Ritang Hall. Even the leader of the church must pay three respects. How can Old Man Tian, who is just a mere worshiper, be worthy of making us afraid?"
Ye Ling gently put down the wooden barrel in his hand. The Tao power in his body was quietly flowing. A faint trace of sword energy was wrapped around the hilt of the sword, ready to be unsheathed at any time.
The two people saw that Ye Ling had some cultivation, so they didn't dare to be too confident, so they directly used Tao techniques, and the two palm techniques of water and fire were superimposed, covering Ye Ling.
"boom--"
With a sound, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the sharp energy suddenly shot out. Two cold moon sword energy broke through the air and struck. When they got close to the two people's bodies, they instantly turned into thousands of gossamers and penetrated into their clothes.
Before they could scream, their mouths were sealed by a force, making them unable to make any sound.
The thousands of sword energy hairsprings left two people with bruises on their bodies, but their clothes were not damaged on the surface, making it look like nothing happened.
When the two fell down and fainted, they didn't even call for help, which made Li Jingming and others in the hospital think that they had already killed Ye Ling because of the loud noise just now.
Ye Ling put her sword on her back and was about to go back to the courtyard when she heard a cry from inside: "Brother, help me!"
"Ling'er!"
Ye Ling's expression changed, and he rushed to the courtyard with Xuantian's shadow on his feet. He saw one of his followers carrying a golden birdcage with a cloud of water mist suspended in it. It was Ling'er!
Ling'er met Ye Ling and cried for help: "Brother, please help me! Please help me!"
Li Jingming turned around and saw Ye Ling, slightly surprised: "You can still stand up?"
Ye Ling did not answer, and stepped on Xuantian's Afterimage's second move. The afterimage remained in place, and his body had already reached the side of the follower. He hit the man's chest with a palm, and the majestic force directly broke his ribs. It was shattered, and the birdcage fell off in his hand, but was caught firmly by Ye Ling.
"presumptuous!"
Li Jingming's cultivation was at the peak of Lingxu Realm. He waved his folding fan, and the power of water and fire immediately burst out and was blown towards Ye Ling by the wind.
Ye Ling moved his body and dodged far away.
But the follower couldn't escape, and was trapped by the power of water and fire. After a few screams, he turned into flying ashes and died.
The two remaining followers looked shocked and shrank back, not daring to step forward at all.
The fan in Li Jingming's hand is called the Water and Fire Infinite Fan. It was refined by his father Li Chunyuan. It contains the power of pure Yang fire and extremely Yin water. If it is touched by the water and fire, it will instantly join the followers. Generally reduced to ashes.
When Li Jingming saw Ye Ling's movement, he couldn't help but said with a sullen face: "You are not an ordinary servant. Who are you?"
Ye Ling didn't answer. He kept running Taoist power in his hands to break open the golden cage, but this cage was also an incredible Taoist weapon. No matter how hard Ye Ling tried, he was still unscathed.
Ye Ling had no choice but to put the cage into the jade finger, turned around and ran away.
"You don't want to live!"
Li Jingming was furious. He had put in so much effort to find Ling'er, the eternal spring spirit. Today, he finally had a chance, but something like Ye Ling happened. How could he endure it?
Following Ye Ling, he kept waving the precious fan in his hand, causing a mess on the top of the mountain.
Ye Ling saw that the secret passage was not good, and if it continued like this, the whole garden would be destroyed, so he quickly stepped on the void and fled outside.
