With the conclusion of the Zixia Sect Taoist Association, this grand gathering in the East Fuyao Continent’s cultivation world has come to an end. And its results are naturally very interesting to the monks.
Not only were the top twenty avenue seeds in East Fuyao Continent selected, but the final match between Xu Huaigu and Fan Xuan and the subsequent turmoil it caused were even more exciting.
Two monks of the tenth realm, two born with swords, this magnificent scene is truly rare to find. The top twenty people elected by the association did not live in Zixia Sect, but returned to their respective sects.
After staying for half a year, they will gather again and take the monastic fire from East Fuyao Continent to the distant Middle Earth.
This included Liu Waner, Lu Jin and Lu Wei, but Xu Huaigu was excluded intentionally or unintentionally.
He was currently strolling along the Qishui River, with Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo beside him, and the direction was towards Qiyin, the capital of Yamato.
Originally, the three of them planned to return to Qingfeng Valley, but although Qingfeng Valley and Zixia Sect were in the same country, they were not close to each other.
The ten-day journey that Bai Xiaoyu mentioned meant driving day and night. The three of them obviously had to go sightseeing, so the time required was another matter.
The journey between Zixia Sect and Qingfeng Valley would inevitably pass through Qiyin, the capital of Yamato Kingdom, so Bai Xiaoyu proposed to rest in Qiyin for two days before making plans.
It is said that mountains to the south and water to the north are yang, mountains to the north and water to the south are yin, so Qiyin, as the name suggests, is south of Qishui.
Qiyin is an ancient capital, with a history that is thousands of years older than the city invaded by the demon clan. The rich cultural and historical heritage is the characteristic of this city.
And Qiyin is very famous for its climate. It is warm and humid all year round, which is conducive to the growth of flowers, so it is called the flower capital.
At the same time, the climate that is conducive to the growth of flowers is also conducive to the growth of fairy grass and elixirs. Specialized monks have opened medicinal gardens in the mountains near Qiyin and planted various kinds of fairy grass and elixirs. Most of them are herbs and elixirs.
Immortals and elixirs are indispensable materials for alchemy, and elixirs are necessary consumables in the practice world. Therefore, most of the monks who grow medicinal herbs in Qiyin are very wealthy, and the money from the gods is flowing into their accounts.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind mills, but with this fairy money, it is not a bad idea to let monks grind mills. These monks who are rich because of the business of fairy grass and elixir, although they may not be of high level, can hire monks with high level of cultivation, so they are also a force that cannot be underestimated.
It's just that this fairy grass elixir is a thing of the monk world. Like Xingqing City, it can only be sold in the hidden monk market. Therefore, in addition to many ancient buildings, the cityscape of Qiyin also looks different from ordinary cities. Not big.
When Xu Huaigu and the other three walked into this city, it was drizzling in the sky. Along the way, people holding umbrellas were walking along the streets. Without the cries of street vendors, it was very quiet here.
Compared to the busy scene of Xingqing, this Qiyin is more like a gentle woman, sitting quietly, with a unique charm.
There are also girls holding flower umbrellas, lightly applying pink and white, walking quietly on the street in the rain, just like the charm of the city of Qiyin.
Bai Xiaoyu had visited all the big cities in East Fuyaozhou over the years. At this time, he led Xu Huaigu and Jiang Chengcuo around the streets of Qiyin, and walked into a secluded alley with familiarity.
The alley is very narrow and can only accommodate one person. The walls on both sides are not high, but they are all made of bluestone bricks.
There is soil accumulated over the years between the bricks. Moss and ivy are growing on the wall. There are also some unknown delicate flowers blooming. It doesn't look strange at first glance. But if you look closely, you might be able to see them. Seeing a few insects secretly collecting nectar in the stamens is a different kind of microscopic world.
The moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also bloom like peonies. The wonder of life cannot be measured by size. The three of them lined up and walked deep into the alley, with Bai Xiaoyu in front, Xu Huaigu among them, and Jiang Chengcuo at the end.
Jiang Chengcuo felt uncomfortable walking in this narrow alley, so he complained: "Senior Sister Bai, where is this alley going?" Bai Xiaoyu said: "The end of this is our residence in Qiyin these nights. Now." Jiang Chengcuo said in surprise: "It's that Xianjia Inn, right? I know that these Xianjia inns like to open in remote and sparsely populated places. I don't know how you found this shabby alley, Senior Sister Bai. , if you have any secrets, tell me next time, I will try it if I have a chance." Having said that, Jiang Chengcuo was actually thinking about the fairy wine in the Xianjia Inn, and did not know about Qiyin, a place where flowers bloom. Why do you drink wine at the Xianjia Inn?
Come to think of it, it's a different feeling. Bai Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Then you must be disappointed. This is not the Xianjia Inn, but the residence of a friend of mine." Jiang Chengcuo asked doubtfully: "Friend? Senior Sister Bai, is your friend a reclusive monk? ?" Bai Xiaoyu said: "Monk? What does monk mean? She is not a monk, she is just an ordinary person I know in Qiyin." Jiang Chengcuo scratched his hair and said in confusion: "Your friend I'm not even a monk, how can I be your friend?" Bai Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You must be a monk to be friends? Has Master taught you this? Have I ever told you this? ?" Jiang Chengcuo was stunned, shook his head and said, "No."
"Did you figure it out yourself?" Jiang Chengcuo nodded blankly.
"With your stupid brain, nine out of ten things you think about are wrong, and you still dare to say it. Since neither Master nor I have said it, there is no such truth in the world." Jiang Chengcuo said suddenly. : "No wonder Master said that my future achievements will definitely not be as good as those of Senior Sister Bai. It turns out that I am not as smart as Senior Sister Bai mentally." Bai Xiaoyu was in a good mood, snapped his fingers and said, "You are still a little enlightened. It seems that you are better than yesterday. You are so smart just a little bit." Jiang Chengcuo pretended to be curious and asked: "How much is a little bit?"
"Probably...just like the flowers growing on the moss, just a little bit." Xu Huaigu was sandwiched between the two of them, so he could hear the conversation clearly. At this time, he was covering his mouth and trying to hold back his laughter.
Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo were a perfect match. The two chatted and chatted along the way, which was very interesting. Fortunately, with such a follower-like junior brother, Bai Xiaoyu probably wouldn't find the path of cultivation boring.
This was the best. Xu Huaigu always felt that he was far less transparent than Bai Xiaoyu at this point.
Although the alley is very deep, it will always come to an end. At the end of the alley is a large dilapidated courtyard. The large rusty bronze lock shows the age of this large courtyard.
The courtyard looked very big. The vermilion paint on the large pillars on both sides of the courtyard gate had long since fallen off. The place where the plaque should have been was missing. Apparently someone had taken it down on purpose.
Everything is showing that this large courtyard once had its own glory in the historical years.
Bai Xiaoyu walked to the door and knocked heavily on the bronze lock. The dull sound of gold and iron clashing sounded ancient and distant in this deserted alley.
After a while, footsteps sounded in the yard, and then someone opened the door.
Xu Huaigu looked curiously and saw an extremely beautiful woman standing in the door. The woman is wearing a snow-white long dress with blue stripes, her eyebrows are curved, her eyes are affectionate, and her eyebrows are full of endless scenery.
When the woman saw Bai Xiaoyu, she screamed in surprise, and then she realized what she was doing. She quickly welcomed Bai Xiaoyu in with a smile and said, "Why are you here today?" Bai Xiaoyu replied, "I told you before. Yes, I will definitely come to you when I come to Qiyin. I keep my word." The woman was in a good mood, and when she saw two men behind Bai Xiaoyu, she looked puzzled and asked, "Who are these two?" Bai Xiaoyu introduced: "These two people are familiar with me, you don't have to worry that they are bad guys. The one standing in front is Xu Huaigu, you can think of him as my younger brother. The person behind is my junior brother, who is with me We have been together day and night for more than a year. Although sometimes I am not serious, my heart is not bad." The woman looked at the two of them with interest. After hearing Bai Xiaoyu's introduction, she nodded with a smile and called into the yard: " Liulang, Liulang, we have a guest at home!" A man's voice responded, and then a young man wearing a Chinese cedar came out. When he saw it was Bai Xiaoyu, he was startled and said, "Bai Xiaoyu, it's you, Why are you here?" Bai Xiaoyu had to explain patiently again: "I have some things to do when I come to Qiyin, so I naturally came to see you two and see how your life is going." The man smiled. : "It's good. It's countless times better than the life I had in the village before. I have to thank you, otherwise Xiao'er and I would never have gotten together." Bai Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "With a little effort, On the other hand, you two have such a magical life. I am running around all day long, and I can’t even envy you. I won’t say more, I’m coming to Qiyin for a few days, and I can take these two to stay with you temporarily. It should be fine. Right?" The woman happily agreed: "If you want to stay, let alone a few days, it's up to you to stay as long as you want!" Bai Xiaoyu smiled heartily and walked into the yard with Xu Huaigu and Jiang Chengcuo.
I turned around a small house and saw a small medicine garden in the corner of the yard. Several kinds of herbs were planted in the medicine garden.
When Xu Huaigu approached, he smelled a slightly bitter fragrance, which was quite refreshing. The woman named Xiaoer smiled and explained: "These are the herbal seeds I bought in a shop outside. I grew them myself. Some of them can also be sold, which can help subsidize the family a little." Bai Xiaoyu asked "You sold it to the person I told you, right?" The woman nodded, and Bai Xiaoyu also nodded and said, "That person is kind. If you sell it to him, you won't lose your money." The woman just kept talking to Bai Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu chattered nonchalantly, but Bai Xiaoyu didn't feel annoyed, and just chatted with her about trivial household matters, enjoying it.
Xu Huaigu and Jiang Chengcuo walked aside, sat down on a stone pier, and looked at the two women in white talking and laughing.
Xu Huaigu thought this scene was really beautiful, and asked Jiang Chengcuo: "Sister Bai, what state is she in now?" Jiang Chengcuo stretched out one hand, but that was not enough, he stretched out two fingers and said, "Seventh state. "Xu Huaigu was surprised and said: "Seventh realm? She has only practiced for a few years, and she can reach the seventh realm? Is there anyone in the world who can practice so fast?" Jiang Chengcuo smiled and said: "Senior Sister Bai is not only good in talent, but also has a good personality. She is also very easy-going and has a very peaceful mind. You see, although their status is very different, Senior Sister Bai is also really good to that woman. Looking at Fan Xuan, although she is very talented, her temperament is really not that good, so she is only in the fifth realm. That's all. So why my master once said that I am far inferior to Senior Sister Bai is because of this state of mind." Xu Huaigu naturally understood this truth as he cultivated his mind.
Just looking at Bai Xiaoyu's smile when chatting with the woman, it was true happiness from the heart, and he had some feelings.
Xu Huaigu murmured: "If your mind is free from worries and worries, you will be at ease in the world."
