Shuiyun Valley Jade Spirit Sect is in the cave of Fairy Guhuo.
After accepting Tang Ping as her disciple that day, Fairy Guhuo asked Ruo Yun to take Tang Ping with her and teach her some basic cultivation methods. However, she remained closed in the cave and even ordered Ruo Yun, If someone comes to visit, he will tell the visitor that he is in seclusion to thank the visitor. Generally, as long as the visitor is not Tang Bonian, he will leave.
Fairy Guhuo was currently in the secret room where she practiced. Not only had no fellow monks of her generation ever entered this secret room, but even her closest disciples were not allowed to enter. However, she was not practicing at this time. Instead, she was sitting among a pile of books in the room, with many storage bags thrown around her.
She flipped through a book in her hand, and when she finished reading it, she threw the book to the ground angrily.
"Oh, I obviously remember that I got a copy once. Although I didn't know if I could use it at the time, I obviously hid that very precious book, but I couldn't find it!"
Fairy Guhuo gently touched her two suns with her hands, closed her eyes and thought about it carefully.
In her mind, the memories of hundreds of years were now as chaotic as a pot of porridge. She sorted it out carefully, reliving the dangers she experienced every time she went out after building her foundation, and the rewards of every adventure she encountered one by one. After a long time, Fairy Guhuo's face was suddenly full of excitement, she opened her eyes and stared at a corner of her secret room.
He stood up and walked over, drawing complicated patterns with his fingers back and forth somewhere on the stone wall, and kept mumbling something in his mouth.
The area on the stone wall that she had drawn here and there remained unchanged, but the area behind her gradually became brighter, and finally opened with a "snap" like a small door.
Fairy Guhuo turned around and walked over. There was only an ordinary small bag inside. She carefully took the small bag in her hand, opened it and looked at it carefully.
"Huh? Why aren't you here! Damn it!" Fairy Guhuo cursed angrily, shook the bag, and poured out the contents with a jingle. Suddenly, the secret room was filled with precious light, and the ground was full of strange things. Rare treasures, she looked at the bag and threw it on the ground after seeing that there was nothing else in it. She reached out and started picking through the pile of treasures.
"No, no, no, alas! Where did you put that book?" At the end of the search, Fairy Guhuo stood up bitterly and sat back on her futon.
"You're so stupid! Oh! Where did I put you?"
She looked helplessly at the piles around her, including various secret books, isolated fragments, banners and scrolls, and even silk pieces, animal skins, and bamboo slips with written words on them. Taking it out will make fellow monks greedy and jealous, but what they are looking for is not among them.
Humph, it’s true that you don’t regret a book until you use it!
I must have missed something. Think about it carefully. While thinking about it, Fairy Guhuo suppressed the impatience in her heart and sat up cross-legged with her eyes closed.
After a long time, she opened her eyes again. Just when she was about to take action, she frowned at the clutter in the room. You must not pass on the things here to others, you can only clean them yourself.
After everything was reclassified and put into the bag, and then the secret room was restored to its original state, Fairy Guhuo began to perform the spell again.
After a burst of glory, a gorgeously dressed and extremely charming young woman stood in front of Gu Huo with a smile.
Gu Huo frowned when he saw it and said displeasedly: "Why are you dressed like this again?"
"Don't you like it, sister? I like it very much, look at it!"
As he spoke, the young woman twisted her waist and made frequent gestures in front of Gu Huo.
"How about it? Is it much better this time than last time? Now I guess those guys can no longer see my flaws."
"What do you want to do?" Fairy Guhuo asked displeasedly.
"What to do? Of course, it's for the future. My sister has even thought about leaving me, so I have to make plans for my future. If I'm really driven away by you, I might have to go back to the fearful days before. Alas. ! Having been together for many years, I thought we had a deep love for each other as sisters, but I didn’t expect that my sister is also a changer. When I think of this, I feel sad. Am I really not as good as that fox? "
"Hmph! You've changed your mind after seeing something strange? You're embarrassed to tell me. I might as well tell you the truth. I did it for you that day. You've been a little half-hearted recently. I don't know. Have you become lazy or have other thoughts? "
"Sister," the young woman said coquettishly, "What thoughts can I have? Aren't my little thoughts just like children's play in your opinion?"
"Hmph! It'd better be that way."
"By the way, sister, is that little girl that important? You actually gave her all the Rufeng cards."
"Of course it's important. That girl and her white fox are not only very important to me, but also to you. If I can get further help from her in the future, wouldn't it be of great use to you?"
"Well, that's true. No wonder."
"What do you think of that white fox?"
"That little guy is not a big deal now, but given time, he will definitely be a difficult guy."
"I'm not asking you to fight it. I'm asking you if you can recognize the white fox?"
"Didn't my sister recognize it as a sky fox? Why are you still asking me?"
"There are many kinds of Tianhu. Can you tell them apart?"
"I can't recognize this one. I haven't been in the world for long before I followed you. I have seen some foxes, but they are just stupid guys. They are far worse than the one you were your apprentice."
Guhuo nodded after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Do you still remember the time more than two hundred years ago, when several of my fellow disciples and I went to the far north to look for the Huoli Fruit..."
"Sister, you ate all the Huoli Guo for me, and there will be no more!" The young woman interrupted Gu Huo hastily when she heard her mention the Huoli Guo.
"Okay, I'm not trying to get rid of your Huoliguo idea. I'm asking you that time we were chased by a weird monk, do you still remember it?"
"Why don't you remember? That guy seemed to be quite interested in me, so he kept chasing you but let the others go."
"Well, yes, it was a narrow escape that time. Later, the two of us worked together to kill him. When searching his hiding place, I found a leather scroll, which seemed to record a lot of secrets about strange beasts. It seems that you He didn't want me to look at the leather scroll, so he swallowed it while I wasn't paying attention. Then something happened, so I got busy and didn't pay attention to it anymore, right?"
"Do you have it? It's been so long that I don't even remember it. Sister, did you remember it wrong? How can you ask me for something if you can't find it?"
"Come on, I remember now that you swallowed it because you didn't want me to see it."
"Oh, even if it is true, it has been more than two hundred years, sister. I have eliminated that thing in my stomach long ago."
"Hmph, even if you are eaten and destroyed, the skin roll will not. Give it to me quickly."
"What do you want that for?" the young woman asked warily.
"I don't want to use it, but I want to give that thing to that girl?",
"What does the girl want with that?" the young woman asked again.
"Why do you ask so many questions! I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will be tied to you for the rest of my life. You can't get rid of me, and I can't get rid of you. But that girl's spiritual roots are extraordinary. , is a rare companion spirit root. The white fox only opened the spiritual root for her. If she wants to complete her spiritual root, she will have to collect several more spiritual beasts in the future. That is an extraordinary thing. I That’s why I need that leather scroll.”
"Oh, so that spiritual root is very powerful?"
"Our Yuling once had an ancestor whose spiritual roots were like this."
"Wow! No wonder, no wonder you still practice blood-killing techniques with a little girl. Are you afraid that Mr. Qiu will harm her?"
"You know it, but you still ask! Have you forgotten what I said before? If she has a good thing and a bad thing, won't she benefit from you? It's so long-winded, please give it to me quickly."
The young woman nodded after hearing this and said reluctantly: "Sister said it is true, it's still important. Alas, I really don't want to go back to that ugly look."
When the young woman said this, she stepped back twice, stretched her arms to the left and right, and turned her body. There was another brilliance in the secret room. When she calmed down, there stood in front of Gu Huo a human-like creature. It is a tall strange bird. It has plump wings and a long tail. Its feathers are gorgeous and dazzling. If you don't look at it, the bird's head looks like a phoenix, because this strange bird has nine heads densely packed on its neck!
The nine bird heads looked at each other, with eighteen eyes full of disgust. Finally, all nine heads looked at Gu Huo, and the nine mouths opened their mouths at the same time, and the voice was still the voice of the young woman before.
"Oh, this look is really ugly. Sister, when I reach that state, can I really maintain my human body for a long time?"
"You won't know until you get to that point."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It's taken me a long time to get through it. Let's get through it slowly. Who told me that I was born in the wrong child!"
"If you ask me, it would be more pleasing to me to see you like this. What are you doing with those charming illusions?"
Guhuo's words made the strange bird unhappy, and he said: "Oh, after so long, I have forgotten which mouth ate the book. It's better to be a human being and only have one mouth." Woolen cloth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft "dong" sound, and saw Gu Huo gently piercing a small jade bottle on the ground in front of his legs, looking at the strange bird and laughing playfully.
The strange bird's eighteen eyes were filled with greed, and its nine strange beaks were all vying to grab the jade bottle.
Gu Huo stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "Give it to me first!"
"Well, thanks to my sister's reminder, I now remember which mouth swallowed that book!"
After saying that, I saw one of the strange birds with its head open wide and making a cry like a baby crying at night. With a "pop" sound, a long wooden box was spit out by the strange bird and landed on it. on the ground.
Fairy Guhuo reached out and took the long wooden box in her hand and opened it. Inside was exactly what she was looking for today.
At this time, a slender hand stretched out and grabbed the jade bottle in his hand. The strange bird spit out the wooden box and transformed into a human form. It held the jade bottle very carefully and carefully pulled out the cork from the mouth of the bottle. , sniffed it carefully under his nose, then raised his head, closed his eyes and looked satisfied.
"Sister, what else do you want? I have a lot of good things in my belly!" The young woman said to Gu Huo with a smile.
"Let's talk about it later. Do you think it's easy to get those pills?" Gu Huo stared at the unfolded leather scroll without raising his eyes to look at her.
"Well, it is extremely difficult for me, but it is very simple for my sister."
After saying that, the young woman walked behind Gu Huo and looked at the scroll.
"Nonsense, I worked so hard to find the materials for these pills, and I asked for favors and gave gifts before Qixia Mountain was willing to refine them for me. Do you think it's that easy? Hum, I just know why you want to Hidden in this leather scroll, it turns out that there are so many tricks to defeat you, no wonder!"
The leather scroll is made of unknown animal skin. It is thin and soft, but extremely tough. The writing on it is not written with pen and ink, but with something like a skewer that was burned red and then burned. The writing is fine and dense. Words have pictures.
"Look here," Gu Huo pointed to a place, "This one is the same as that girl's white fox."
"Ah! It's actually a nine-tailed jade fox, sister, you can't be mistaken!"
"It's not wrong. Didn't you also see it that day? The nine-tailed jade fox! Well, this child is really blessed!"
On this day, Tang Ping was called into the cave by her master while she was practicing, and she stayed in the secret room of Fairy Guhuo for a long time.
