For two or three days in a row, the sound of the bird card on Nangong Mountain never stopped. At first, Yun Zhong didn't know the rules of the bird card. He just often heard his master, senior brother and three senior brothers shouting repeatedly, such as pearls and emeralds, all of the same color, or Tianhe and Earth were harmonious, and they saw the second senior brother's face full of anger, even beating his chest and feet, which made Yun Zhong look confused.
But fortunately, he was still young and learned very quickly. Within a day, the young man was able to compete with his senior brother and master at the table. Although he lost more than he won, he still managed to get on the right track.
But if there is anything that worries Yun Zhong the most, it is not the stewed rabbit cakes and fruits with dumplings at the end of the year, or the vertical and horizontal smashing and closing in the sparrow cards, but the mountain-turning sword energy of Master Wu Shuang that day, when he first set foot on the mountain road, and after that Soaring upwards and climbing thousands of miles is really a very heroic thing.
Although the young man was eager, Wu Shuang refused to teach. Even if the former asked for advice several times, he was always vague and had no intention of teaching. Instead, he played sparrow cards more and more frequently. He removed the table in the main hall and had a big discussion with several disciples. He was happy to call Xiao Xingque Pai. No matter how much Yun Zhong asked for it, he just kept silent and refused to teach because of his lack of realm.
Yun Zhong was even more helpless about this, so he had to take advantage of Liu Qing's free time to visit him and inquire.
"Elder brother, our master, maybe he thinks that I am not talented enough and wants to find another disciple." Yun Zhong lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a very low tone. A smile appeared on Liu Qing's face. She put down the tea in her palm and asked in a leisurely manner. "Now that we have entered Nangong Mountain, we definitely don't need to worry about such things. Why do you say this, little junior brother?"
"You know how talented your junior brother is," Yun Zhongze picked an armchair and sighed, "Master's abilities will be hard to come by when I'm a hundred years old. Although I feel comfortable in the mountains, I still feel uneasy as I haven't made any progress yet."
The furnishings in Liu Qing's house are quite simple. Except for a pair of white jade pen pens on the table, they are in good condition. In addition, most of the room is occupied by bamboo slips with scrolls of formation diagrams. Although they are arranged neatly, they are not in good condition. Slightly mixed.
Yun Zhong looked at the surrounding furnishings and discovered that there was a broken jade wall hanging in the middle of Senior Brother's house, so he gave up asking before and said casually, "Senior Brother, I wonder where this jade wall comes from? Of course, if Senior Brother is not convenient to answer, Then just treat it as junior brother without asking."
"Junior brother, what's the inconvenience for this jade wall?" The scholar looked up at the jade wall with a dull expression, "This was left by an unreliable old friend. When the jade wall was not damaged, I Before he could become a disciple of the master, the old friend smashed the jade wall by mistake, but he still couldn't find anyone skilled in the craftsmanship to repair it, so the matter went unresolved."
"I often hang it in the room, just to think about it." The scholar stood up, took off the jade wall, held it in the palm of his hand, then smiled at the young man who didn't know why, "Everyone has to think about it, no matter in the world. Cao Mang, or a nobleman of a country, when doing things as a human being, there must be a thread to pull up, so that the direction can be correct when rushing on the road."
"When you have free time, don't forget to visit your hometown or write a few letters home with your parents."
"Remember the line of parents for the sake of their children and grandchildren."
The young man thought for a while, said hello to Liu Qing, and ran out of the house quickly. After a while, he ran back, opened a bag of coarse cloth on hand, and said to Liu Qing, "Junior brother brought a handful of loess with him at the entrance of the village when he went out. According to what my senior brother said, I don’t know if it can be considered as missing me; there is also a short coat that my mother sewed with her own hands and I always carry it with me, so it should be considered as missing me."
"Of course." Liu Qing smiled gently.
For no reason, I remembered that in Wulingpo, after forcing back the barefoot master, the young man ran back to his car tent regardless of his injuries and rummaged for a long time, just for fear that the captain's arrows would penetrate his patchwork body. Ragged clothes.
"Let's go. Let's go with our senior brother to see your second senior brother make alchemy?" The scholar stepped out.
The sky is bright and clear.
The young man responded with a smile.
Qian Yin's residence is very close to the alchemy room. It takes only a hundred steps from the front of the house to enter the alchemy room. Although the area is not large, the fragrance of medicine is full of fragrance all year round, and the house is quite ancient. It is surrounded by money. Yin often tinkered with strange prescriptions here, and exploded countless alchemy cauldrons, but the fragrance of the medicine never dissipated.
At this moment, Qian Yin was scratching his head and scratching his head, wanting to pull off all the buns on his forehead. He lingered for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. He was so anxious that he kicked the Danding twice, but the latter did not move at all, but this third senior brother of Nangongshan But he took a deep breath and jumped around.
"Why is Second Junior Brother like this? If you can't find a solution to your suffering, just drink two cups of hot tea to dispel the inner fire. There is no need to worry too much." Liu Qing led Yun Zhong to the door, and just stepped into the alchemy room, she smiled bitterly. Incessantly.
The fragrance of medicine around the alchemy room is always fragrant, but at this moment, they still can't control the strange smell in the house, which caused the two brothers to cover their mouths and noses quickly and looked towards the middle of the alchemy room. They saw Qian Yin's unkempt hair and fair face covered with hair. Tantu's eyes were blank, as if he had never seen the two approaching.
On weekdays, Qian Yin was very fond of trivial matters such as refining alchemy and touching bones. Even Wu Shuang had to hold his nose and admit that his second apprentice was somewhat talented in such trivial matters. He struggled to suppress his temperament. , it was better to let him go, so he simply left all the medicine refining matters in the mountain to Qian Yin, while he was out of sight and out of mind, and did not enter the alchemy room for years.
"I've seen you, senior brother." The fat man who was jumping around saw his senior brother entering the room. He quickly bowed and saluted, and then said with a sad face, "Senior brother, I don't know, but the master informed me the day before yesterday that he would refine a pill for our junior brother. In order to improve my junior brother's realm, I have not been given any prescriptions. In the past two days alone, junior brother, I have tried sixteen methods, but I have no clue. Only then did I become angry and anxious. I hope that my senior brother will not blame me. "
"Since it is a task assigned by the master, and it is refining medicine for my junior brother, there is no room for blame. However, this matter is indeed strange. It is better to smooth it over before making a decision." Liu Qing was also a little confused. Ordinarily, even if he sacrifices Refining the simplest elixir also needs to be made according to the elixir recipe. If there is no elixir recipe available, it is no less than a skillful woman making a meal without rice.
It is necessary to select a few herbs among thousands of herbs, like finding a needle in a haystack. How can it be done by ordinary people? I am afraid that even if Wu Shuang is invited, it will definitely take a lot of trouble to create a single recipe.
Liu Qing frowned, "Normally, the taste pill that my junior brother needs should be a virtual pill. The pill prescriptions are clearly displayed in the cabinet and are extremely common. Why does our master have to create a new prescription? It's a bit too weird. .”
"That's right. Let's not talk about how much money our master has won from me in the past few days. Doesn't this act make things difficult for my disciple?" The fat man was obviously a little angry. It happened that the senior brother said this, so he just followed the words and complained.
Unexpectedly, the scholar changed his tone and smiled at the fat man who was still frowning, "Master, of course he has a very reasonable point. You and I just do it."
Outside the alchemy room, the sword energy paused for a moment.
