"This white crane is very spiritual." Fairy Xuanji gently stroked the long neck of the white crane next to her. She really liked this white crane.
"What I got was a piece of purple Ganoderma lucidum, and I ate it directly." Yan Shiyi glanced at the broken arm on his left arm. "After eating, the only feeling I had was that the broken arm was a little numb and itchy, and there was always a lump there. Purple mist fills the air.”
Fairy Chu Xiu and Xuanji both looked at the broken left arm of Yan Shiyi, feeling very miraculous.
"I got a gourd." Chu Xiu took out the green gourd and said with a smile.
"Then what were your wings just now?" Fairy Xuanji was curious.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "That's what I condensed with my true energy."
As he spoke, with a thought in his mind, a large amount of Qi emerged from his arms, and he quickly condensed a pair of large wings.
"Before, there was that dense air in the wings."
As he spoke, Chu Xiu raised his chin and raised his eyes to look at the sky.
The cracks in the sky have completely merged, and the chaotic haze is like the sunset, becoming unattainable.
Yan Shiyi and Fairy Xuanji also looked at the sky.
The three fell silent.
a long time.
"Nineteen states are going to change." Chu Xiu said softly.
He knew very well that once the news of Master Chen Changsheng's departure was exposed, someone would definitely challenge the status of Suzaku Academy in the Nineteen States.
Yan Shi's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, "Only by experiencing blood and fire can my swordsmanship reach its peak."
"I have obtained the Taiqing Jade Law. After the news spreads, I am afraid that the three sects of the Taoist sect will not be quiet." Fairy Xuanji said softly.
The Taiqing Jade Law is the most precious treasure of the Taoist sect, and the Earth Sect and the Human Sect will never sit idly by.
The mood of the three people became a little agitated.
"Let's go, catch some prey, let's have a dinner together, and then we can leave here." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
Yan Shishi nodded and said regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no wine."
"There is a clear spring in the mountain, which may be used instead." Fairy Xuanji said with a smile.
Chu Xiu said leisurely: "There are many monkeys in this mountain. Whether there is wine or not, you have to look for them to find out."
"Monkey wine?" Yan Shiyi's eyes lit up.
"..."
The three of them and one crane walked down the mountain together.
In the past few days, Chu Xiu had been tortured by short sticks and traveled almost everywhere in Cangqiong Mountain. He once encountered a group of long-tailed apes in a mountain forest.
Apes who live in groups will collect a large amount of fruits during autumn and winter and store them in caves or tree holes as food for the winter.
If you forget the fruits in a tree hole somewhere, after a winter of fermentation, these fruits may form monkey wine.
"Probably this way."
Arriving outside a lush ancient forest full of vines, Chu Xiu said softly.
He remembered that when he ran into this ancient forest a few days ago, some apes were beaten mercilessly with short sticks and howled, causing the apes in the entire forest to riot.
"Look for them separately or together?" Yan Shiyi asked.
"Let's go together." Chu Xiu said softly.
Master Chen Changsheng has left. For them, this Cangqiong Mountain is no longer as taboo as it was before.
"good."
Yan Shiyi and Fairy Xuanji nodded, and then the three of them walked into this lush ancient forest together.
On top of the towering trees, there are many vines densely covered with apes and monkeys flying over them from time to time.
The three of them walked for a while, and Chu Xiu stopped.
A faint aroma of wine wafted over.
"What you three are looking for is probably the monkey wine I have here." An old chuckle came slowly.
Yan Shiyi and Fairy Xuanji both stared.
"Are you sure the monkey wine belongs to you?" Chu Xiu raised his chin slightly and asked with a sneer.
After a brief silence, the old chuckle came again, "I have lived here for nearly a hundred years, and I almost consider this place my home."
"Nearly a hundred years..." Chu Xiu whispered and smiled, "It turns out he is an old man. I think the old man must know my master."
"I dare not claim to know you." came an old voice, "I have admired Master Ling for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him."
"Then, this junior will take the place of Master and have a drink of your fine wine." Chu Xiu chuckled and glanced at Yan Shiyi and Fairy Xuanji, "Let's go and have a nice drink."
"Okay." The two of them nodded slightly, feeling worried.
After a while.
The three of them came to a courtyard surrounded by vines. In the courtyard, there was an extremely thick and towering tree.
Several rooms had been dug out of the trunk of this towering tree.
At this moment, there was an old man with white hair and white beard sitting in the bottom room, smiling at Chu Xiu, Yan Shiyi, and Fairy Xuanji.
"I didn't discover this place before." Chu Xiu said softly.
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Maybe it's because Master Ling doesn't want you to find out."
"That's true." Chu Xiu nodded and stepped into the courtyard, "I remember that as soon as I arrived near here, Master's short stick forced me to turn."
"I wonder what you call me, senior?" Fairy Xuanji asked softly.
"I have forgotten my common name. Just call me the Old Man of the Mountain." The white-haired old man brushed his beard and said with a smile.
Three people and a crane came to the center of the courtyard. The white-haired old man who called himself the "Old Man of the Mountains" waved his right hand. Four chairs and a wooden table flew out of a room in the towering tree and landed on the three people. forward.
"Please take a seat." The old man in the mountain stood up and walked out of the room. At the same time, a wine bottle and a wine glass came from the sky and landed on the wooden table.
"I wonder where your senior is from?" Chu Xiu sat in the east, with Yan Shiyi and Fairy Xuanji sitting on both sides of him.
The old man in the mountain sat directly opposite Chu Xiu and said with a smile: "I am nearly two hundred years old. Where you come from is no longer important."
"It's quite important." Chu Xiu directly picked up the wine bottle on the wooden table, poured himself a glass of wine, and said leisurely, "For example, as long as others know that I am the thirteenth gentleman of Zhuque Academy, then they will know that I am The origins of my life and know who I am."
If the old man in the mountain realized something, he smiled and said: "When I was young, I studied art in Kongtong."
"Kongtong Sect?" Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I am close friends with Jing Yun, the contemporary number one member of Kongtong Sect."
"Really? I haven't returned to Kongtong for more than a hundred years." said the old man in the mountain.
"Come, let me toast you, senior." Chu Xiu raised his glass, "For Kongtong."
The old man in the mountain poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "For Kongtong."
The two drank it all in one gulp.
Yan Shiyi and Fairy Xuanji looked at each other calmly, both vaguely sensing the subtlety of the atmosphere.
"You should have come out earlier." Chu Xiu looked at the old man in the mountain and said suddenly.
"Why?" The old man in the mountain still smiled.
Chu Xiu said leisurely: "You missed a grand event."
"Grand event..." the old man in the mountain said softly, "Some people are destined to be the center of attention, while some people prefer to be quiet and enjoy solitude."
"Even people who like to be alone will regret it." Chu Xiu stared at the old man in the mountain and said meaningfully, "If you had seen my master's feat of stretching out his hand to split the sky, maybe you would enjoy your alone time more."
"Stretch out your hand and split the sky..." A picture appeared in the mind of the old man in the mountain. "I am thinking whether I should regret not seeing it, or whether I should not regret it because I haven't seen it."
"There is no regret, it can only be because you don't know." Chu Xiu smiled, "Now that I tell you, you will know.
Once you know it, you will fantasize.
If you fantasize, you will regret it. "
"To put it this way, it's all your fault?" The old man in the mountain brushed his beard and glanced at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu poured himself another glass of wine, "You should have seen it."
The old man in the mountain shook his head and denied, "I was sleeping all the time, and I didn't wake up until I heard your footsteps."
Chu Xiu raised his wine glass, stared at the old man in the mountain, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then do you want to see it once?"
