Inside Muxiu Peak.
Tang Ping landed lightly in front of a small courtyard. One side of the small courtyard was a beautiful forest, and the other side faced a clear and clear river. The small courtyard is surrounded by pink walls and black wall tiles. When Tang Ping fell down, she saw an exquisite two-story building in the courtyard. She glanced through the open window and saw that the furnishings inside seemed to be a woman's boudoir. , I wanted to knock on the door and inquire.
The door was a round moon door, two wooden doors that had been oiled several times, and Tang Ping tapped lightly on them with her fingers.
The person who opened the door was a girl who was a few years older than Tang Ping. She had a pretty face, but her eyebrows were slightly sharp.
"Sister, please excuse me. I'm here to find someone. Does your sister know where Li Jian practices? Just point it out for me."
Tang Ping's etiquette was considered to be thorough. I thought that the other party would tell me even if she didn't want to be disturbed, but when the girl heard Li Jian's name, her face suddenly darkened.
"I don't know!" The girl almost shouted and slammed the door back.
Although Tang Ping would not be hit by the door, she was still so frightened that she hid her face.
"This little bitch! What's wrong? I'm just here to find out why she has such a big temper!" Tang Ping stared at the door angrily and thought, "No, it must not be related to my knocking on the door. Judging from her expression just now, I mentioned She just got angry at the word Li Jian, but Brother Li is such a stable person, how could he provoke her? Who is she? "
Thinking of seeing another figure flying over the forest out of the corner of her eye, Tang Ping glared at the wooden door hatefully, then flew straight towards the person in the forest.
"Senior brother, excuse me." Tang Ping recognized that the man was also a Qi Refining disciple based on his clothes, so he asked politely.
"Oh, Miss Tang!"
"Senior brother, do you recognize me?" Tang Ping was curious.
"Haha, I recognize it. I once sent a message to senior Guhuo for our senior Mu Xiufeng, but Miss Tang was studying in the yard at that time. It's normal if you don't remember."
I really don’t have much of an impression on this Tang Ping. For a period of time after I became a disciple, my master kept a close eye on me and asked my senior sister to take me to practice every day. I guess it was at that time that this person could go.
"Then please..."
"My surname is Luo"
"Hello, Senior Brother Luo."
"Miss Tang, what's the matter?" Senior Brother Na Luo asked.
"That's right, I'm here to see Brother Li Jian. Does Brother Luo know where he practices?"
"Oh, Junior Brother Li, of course you know. Do you want me to take you there?"
Senior Brother Luo didn't think too much when he heard that Tang Ping was looking for a male disciple of his sect. It was not because of anything else, but because Tang Ping was young and not yet at the age where love first appeared.
"No, senior brother Luo can just point it out to me. The scenery here is good, and I want to take a look around again. The scenery at Muxiu Peak is much better than that at Shuiyun Valley. There are too many people there."
"Are there many people in Shuiyun Valley? Then go to Jiuxuan to see where Junior Brother Li lives. You follow the river below and fly all the way there. You will arrive when you see a purple bamboo forest. Junior Brother Li lives there. It’s not hard to find in a bamboo house by the river.”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Luo. By the way, do all of your Mu Xiufeng disciples practice in such a big place? The scenery is pretty good, I'm really envious."
"Yes, Mu Xiufeng, there are few people and the place is big. What our swordsmanship practice emphasizes is tranquility, so every disciple has a pure place to practice."
"Oh, alas, it's a pity that I can't enter Muxiufeng. The forest below is so beautiful, and the small courtyard with mountains and water is quite unique. I feel very comfortable living there. Who is lucky enough to live there? Woolen cloth?"
"Oh, where is it? That's the residence of Junior Sister Yun Xiyun. She practices here."
After finding out the name of the little girl below, Tang Ping took her leave.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Luo, for showing me the way. I'll leave first."
"Miss Tang, please help yourself."
When Senior Brother Luo saw Tang Ping flying far away and wanted to continue on his way, he saw a figure coming towards him from below. It was Yunxi who was in the small courtyard. She saw the girl who knocked on the door chatting with Senior Brother Na Luo for a while. It seemed that the two of them knew each other. She was even more curious about what this girl wanted to do with that guy Li Jian, so she took advantage of Tang Ping Fei left and wanted to come over and ask.
"Senior Brother Luo"
"Junior sister Yun, is something wrong?"
"I was meditating just now, and I heard someone knocking on the door. When I came out, I saw that little girl flying to you. Who is she? What's the matter?"
"Oh, that little girl, she is not simple. She is the granddaughter of Elder Tang Bonian of Shuiyun Valley. She is also the youngest disciple of the famous Fairy Guhuo of Shuiyun Valley. She came to see Junior Brother Li Jian. I heard that this Miss Tang I have been staying in Youming Valley for a year, so I probably know Junior Brother Li and came here to play."
"Oh, that's good. I thought I was neglecting, so I'll take my leave, Senior Brother Luo."
I didn’t expect this little girl to have such a big background. I knew I shouldn’t have been like that just now. Oh, no matter what, the sect is not named Tang. Don’t my Yun family have any foothold in the sect?
Just as Senior Brother Luo was about to fly away, he suddenly remembered something that Senior Brother Sun in the door secretly told him. This Junior Sister Yun seemed to be very unhappy with Junior Brother Li Jian because of her apprenticeship. She was afraid that that girl Tang Ping would come. I must have been frustrated by Junior Sister Yun when I asked for directions. Not only did I ask for directions, but I also asked roundaboutly about the owner of the small courtyard. Junior Sister Yun saw me chatting with that girl Tang Ping for a while, so she must have come here to find out. , I'm afraid she doesn't know the origin of this girl. She must have looked at Tang Ping's face when Tang Ping asked her for directions. Seeing her expression change just now, she must be regretting that she shouldn't have offended others, hum. ,interesting!
In the purple bamboo forest, Li Jian was meditating. Among the five of them, in terms of the environment for practicing, his place was the cleanest and most comfortable.
"Brother Li, Brother Li"
Suddenly someone spoke, as if calling him. Li Jian opened his eyes and stood up from the futon. The voice sounded familiar to him. He looked around and saw Tang Ping standing outside the bamboo forest.
"Soup girl"
Li Jian walked out of the bamboo forest with a smile.
"Wow, Brother Li, your place is so beautiful. No, I have to take a few bamboos with me when I leave and transplant them to my place. This bamboo is so beautiful."
"Of course it's no problem. I'll help you get it later. The bamboo here is not ordinary. Zijun bamboo is a kind of spiritual bamboo. Come on, Senior Brother Gao gave me some tea leaves a few days ago. It's very good. Please Taste it.”
"Okay, that's right, Brother Li, your place is so beautiful, why do you live in such a bamboo hut? It's too simple. When I came over, I saw a small white-walled courtyard with a moon door over there. There’s also a small building, it’s so exquisite and comfortable to live in.”
"The small courtyard with white walls...I don't know who lives there. Senior Brother Gao who brought me tea also lives in a nice place. There is a main house and a side room, which are very exquisite. Only the walls of the courtyard are made piece by piece by Senior Brother Gao from the mountain. It's built with found stones. It takes a lot of thought and is very unique, but I don't like it. It's better like this. As soon as you open the door, you can see the mountains and forests, and your horizons are so broad."
"Well, you're right."
Although Tang Ping was talking, she knew in her heart that it was definitely not the girl surnamed Yun that Li Jian went to provoke. So what was the reason? If you don’t understand, forget it and ask again.
Li Jian placed a small teapot on a clay stove. When he turned around, he saw a small jar on the table. The clay seal was intact, and a piece of red paper was pasted on the dark glaze, with a word written on it in black ink. The word "soup".
"This is?"
"This is the spiritual wine I brewed. Please try it. The fruits used for brewing are all picked from my sixth grandfather's garden. They are all good things. Well, before you start studying, just drink a small bowl. Although my technique is still a bit poor, my senior sister has tried it and said it’s pretty good, so you try it and tell me how it goes later.”
Li Jian knew that this was Tang Ping's kindness, so he did not refuse. He opened the jar and took a smell, saying, "Well, it smells good, but it's a pity that it can only be drunk during practice."
"Brother Li, how are you doing at Mu Xiufeng?"
"This is indeed a good place. The senior brothers treat me well. I also like the swordsmanship I practice. But sometimes I feel that it is too quiet here and it is not as lively as when I was in Youming Valley."
"I went to see Sister Yan a few days ago, and she is too. She is still early in alchemy. She is still learning how to plant and pick spiritual herbs. I don't understand. I was also closely watched by my master at the beginning. Today I finally got the chance to run out for a walk."
"Well, when can we reach the third level of Qi Refining, Miss Tang? What does it look like and what does it feel like when you break through?"
"Brother Li, your cultivation level and mine are the same. How can I know? But I also asked my senior sister, and she said that she will definitely feel it when she is about to break through, just like when something enters her boots when she walks. You can definitely feel a grain of sand, don't rush, Brother Li, it's only been a little more than two months since we entered the inner gate, usually we should be able to enter the third level of Qi Refining in a year and a half."
"Oh, so fast, I thought it would be several years."
"The elders say that the only way for us disciples to show their personal differences is to start from the third level of Qi Refining. The fifth level is a hurdle, called the Little Five Pass. Those who can get over it must work hard to build the foundation."
Li Jian listened and nodded and said: "One and a half years, it will be very soon. Then we can go to the outside of the sect together. I heard you said it was so lively before, and I really wanted to see it. Although I can't see it here. Small, but there is a wall in my heart, and this wall is cultivation."
Tang Ping didn't stay at Li Jian's place for long. After drinking tea, she actually asked Li Jian to help get two purple bamboos to take with her, and then she left and went directly to Houtu Temple.
