…………
The morning light is still unclear.
Yu Ye had woken up early, washed his face with cool stream water, rinsed his mouth, then sat cross-legged on the mattress and learned to breathe and breathe.
Inside the cave, there is a light mist.
As the mountain breeze comes, the fog changes. Sitting here alone makes you feel like you are flying and forget yourself.
And less than half an hour later, my legs were already sore. His mouth was still panting, and his whole body was already drowsy.
Yu Ye opened his eyes helplessly, straightened his legs, stretched his waist, and let out a long yawn.
According to what Guyu said, breathing and breathing are breathing and breathing, and everyone can do it. Who wants to practice cultivation, but it is so boring!
Yu Ye got up, grabbed the bamboo stick, and made a few gestures. The bamboo stick in his hand was already dancing left and right, making a "woo-woo" sound in the wind.
Well, swordsmanship is still fun! Waving with great energy also makes people energetic!
"boom--"
At this moment, the stone door creaked.
"Gu Yu, let's see how my Xuanhuang swordsmanship goes..."
Yu Ye was busy waving his bamboo stick and did not forget to turn around and say hello. Before he finished speaking, he stopped with an embarrassed look on his face.
A woman with her face covered, holding a bamboo box, stood quietly two feet away.
It was Bai Zhi. She might have revealed her true face, and she no longer needed to cover up to avoid suspicion. She gently put down the bamboo box, stretched out her hand to remove the cloth handkerchief on her face, and asked doubtfully: "Are you practicing Xuanhuang Sword Technique?"
Yu Ye nodded honestly, looking uneasy.
Gu Yu repeatedly explained that secretly learning Taoism and swordsmanship was a taboo in the Taoist sect. I thought about imitating a few tricks secretly, but others saw through it at a glance. And for seven consecutive days, Guyu came to accompany her. How could she suddenly be replaced by Angelica dahurica? What should she do if she refuses to give up?
However, she is really beautiful, like a flower, very delicate.
Bai Zhi looked at the young man she hadn't seen for seven days, and saw him with disheveled hair, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, and a guilty look on his face. She was silent for a moment and asked softly: "Since it is Xuanhuang Sword Technique, how many styles are there?"
Yu Ye said blankly: "What...how many moves?"
"The sword is held in the right hand and the sword technique is used in the left hand. Why is your left hand making a fist?"
"What is Sword Technique?"
Bai Zhi's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on her cheeks.
Yu Yeshang was confused and confused, and suddenly his eyes lit up. It should be the rays of light from the sky pouring into the cave, which are exceptionally bright; it is also like flowers blooming, so bright and attractive.
Bai Zhi didn't ask any more questions and directly explained her intention——
"Gu Yu came down the mountain for something. I will send you the herbs and elixirs for healing on his behalf!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, glanced back, and said with a smile——
"Don't mention the Jiao Dan in your body to others, so as not to get into trouble. Remember! If you are determined to practice swordsmanship, you may wish to worship at Xuanhuang Mountain. I will report to the master some other day to see if she is willing to accept another apprentice!"
There was only one person left in the cave, Yu Ye.
He was still looking at the glow outside the cave, as if he was immersed in the fragrance of the sky, with a dazed expression on his face and eyes obsessed with it. It wasn't until a long, long time that he blinked his eyes and couldn't help but grin.
Bai Zhi, she was neither angry nor blaming. She saw that she didn't understand swordsmanship, so she gave him a kind reminder. Not only that, she also wanted to persuade the master to recruit her as a disciple.
Become a Taoist disciple and a Taoist?
From now on, Bai Zhi will become his senior sister?
can not imagine!
It's not bad to have such a beautiful senior sister. Her intelligence, her knowledge, and her magical powers are all impressive and embarrassing.
And if you really worship Xuanhuang Mountain, wouldn't you also become Chen Qi's fellow disciples?
Hum, if you practice Taoism and have the means, it won’t be too late to settle the score with him in the future!
Yu Ye dropped his bamboo stick and clasped his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face and eyes shining with longing.
During this period, I lived a relaxed, happy and fulfilling life. There is no need to suffer from hunger or fear. Instead, there are people to accompany and play with, and there are also people to help heal and relieve pain. Even the beauty in dreams is nothing more than this. In time, what will it be like to become a Taoist master? The future is really exciting!
When Yu Ye thought of this, he became even more excited. He walked to the bamboo box left by Bai Zhi and sat down cross-legged. He took out two wild ginseng and chewed them. In the bitter taste, there is a hint of sweetness. He grabbed another piece of Polygonatum and stuffed it into his mouth, and then heard a woman sigh softly——
"Oh, my life is short!"
"Well, it's good to be alive!"
"Silly boy, you are so angry with me..."
"ah--"
Yu Ye was suddenly startled, and the Huang Jing in his hand fell to the ground.
He didn't pay attention to the sigh before and was immersed in his reverie. Unexpectedly, the thought he just had was noticed and responded to before he even said it out loud.
In particular, although the sighs and words have disappeared for a long time, they are so familiar!
Yu Ye looked around hurriedly.
At this time, the rays of the rising sun came through the entrance of the cave, dispelling the cold night and morning fog, and illuminating the entire cliff cave.
Yu Ye suddenly understood and asked anxiously: "Who are you?"
Familiar voices had appeared in the cave of Lingjiao Valley. The series of sufferings that followed were all related to the person who spoke out. It's just that her voice, which was once slightly weak, has become clear and sweet, but she doesn't know what kind of misfortune it will bring if she speaks again.
Then I heard the man complain: "Oh, who do you care who I am? You were deceived..."
"Huh, what a joke! I'm not stupid, how could I be deceived?"
Yu Ye asked back, unable to help but think of the previous experience, he suddenly became angry and asked: "I heard that you are a woman. You caused me to swallow the dragon pill and be poisoned by the poison. As a result, I implicated my village and killed more than thirty people." Human life. Where are you hiding and what are your intentions?"
"I……"
The words came out a little hesitant and a little aggrieved.
"I don't know what my intentions are. And if you don't swallow the Jiao Dan, how can you survive? If I didn't use the power of the Jiao Dan to save you, do you think you can escape that person's poisonous hands? As for you It was not my wish for my clan members to be killed. You should hate the murderer, how can you vent your anger on me?"
"..."
Yu Ye was speechless for a moment.
What this woman said was reasonable and reasonable, leaving him unable to accuse her. Even if he didn't swallow the Jiao Dan, Chen Qi would not let him go. And when Cong Chenqi accidentally escaped from the sword, was she secretly helping him? Isn't the poison of Jiaodan fatal? How could it save him?
"It is true that the Jiao Dan is poisonous. It is a three-part poison. Even so, why do people flock to it? Not to mention your mortal body, even the foundation-building monks cannot control the power of the Jiao Dan. According to this, it is not There’s poison that’s harmful to people.”
"You said that my life is not long. What do you mean by that? There is nothing wrong with me at the moment. Who is lying to me?"
"Your current situation is exactly the same as mine back then. Although you are fine for a while, you still don't know that a catastrophe is coming. As for who is lying to you, you should have a clear mind."
"Where are you hiding? Why are you like a shadow, whose voice you can only hear but who you can't see?"
"You are so stupid, I am in the Jiao Dan in your body. Nothing you say or do can be hidden from me. Of course, there are also your stupid and stupid little thoughts."
"ah--"
Yu Ye was surprised, couldn't help but put his hands on his stomach, and said in disbelief: "Chong..."
Rather than thinking about it, hiding in the body and knowing him well is nothing if not a worm in the stomach.
The words were filled with anger: "Bah, you are the insect. I am a ray of soul trapped in the Jiao Dan..."
"ghost?"
"Huh, I'm a human. I just lost my body, leaving only my soul and consciousness, trapped in the pill. I didn't want to care about your life or death, but you followed my footsteps and didn't even know it. Fortunately, I borrowed the pill you swallowed. , restore some of my soul power. Who makes you and I feel sympathy for each other, it is also the cause of retribution. If I don't help you, who will help you."
When the long-lost words sounded again, Yu Ye was shocked and angry. Even after his anger subsided, he still had doubts. However, when he learned that the other party was a soul trapped in the Jiao Dan, although he was equally shocked and unimaginable, he actually believed it a little more.
Only the soul can be trapped in the Jiao Dan. Only the soul cannot be seen or touched, but it is omnipresent and omniscient. The ghosts that the old people in the village had told about were nothing less than this.
And she said that she was not a ghost, she just lost her body and became a person with only her soul and consciousness left!
Yu Ye shook his head, his head still a little dazed.
There is actually a ray of soul hidden in his body, the soul of a woman. Doesn't it mean that from now on, he will have no privacy in the wild? But she was trapped in the Jiao Dan, and there was nothing that could be done to her. Thinking about what she said again, it makes me even more confused.
Yu Ye was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "What is your name?"
"You said I am like a shadow, but I am the shadow of the dragon!"
Jiaoying?
It may not be her real name.
"I don't know who harmed me, how could I follow in your footsteps? Could it be that you have experienced a terrible past, can you tell me something?"
"Hehe, little slippery man!"
Jiao Ying's tone sounded like a ghostly girl. She exposed Yu Ye's thoughts and said: "The dragon pill you swallowed was refined by an expert. The power of the pill is extraordinary, and it is enough to help the foundation-building monks achieve the golden pill. The method of its refining, There is no need to go into details for the time being. But you might as well think about it. How can such a magical Jiao Dan not make people who are cultivators crazy about it? Chen Qi already knew that you swallowed the Jiao Dan and still pressed on. Is it just killing people and silencing them? Now Bai Zhi will You are locked up here, doing whatever you want every day, being served with rare herbs and elixirs, and falsely promising to recruit you as a disciple of the Taoist sect. Do you think she took such pains and did that?"
"Bai Zhi...is not that bad yet."
"Hey, you're so sure?"
"Even if Chen Qi and Bai Zhi harm me, they still won't get the Jiao Pill?"
"You swallowed the pill, but it didn't disappear. If not, where did I come from?"
"This... worship in Xuanhuang Mountain, practice Taoism, and become a master, then I don't have to be afraid of dust."
Yu Ye's words were a bit far-fetched, and the expression on his face became tangled.
Just listen to Jiao Ying say: "Whether it is right or wrong, let's not mention it for now. If you want to practice, you might as well ask me for advice!"
"You also know Xuanhuang Sword Technique?"
"Hmph, ordinary swordsmanship is not worth a try. I have the Qi of the Seven Kills Sword, which is unparalleled in the world..."
