Qifeng Peak, Chuxiaoyuan.
"Violence!" With a soft cry, the elegant Qingluan flew down in the air, squinting at Yan Ci with endless arrogance in his eyes. Its whole body exudes a radiant glow, its wings are as green as the dawn sky, its tail feathers are charming and gorgeous, and its green silk-like down is fluffy but not messy, gently rolling in the wind.
His cultivation level is so low that he doesn't even care about birds. Yan Ci has no intention to care at this time and bows to him: "This disciple has come to pay a visit to my master. Can the Immortal Lord lead the way?"
Qingluan still looked arrogant when he heard this. With a flick of his long feathers, he turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Two strange-shaped green trees intertwined to form the courtyard gate, with a wooden plaque embedded on the lintel with the word "First Dawn" written on it. The fine-textured fragrant wood fence is about four feet high, with climbing vines and clusters of red flowers, purple flowers and green leaves, giving it a quiet and elegant charm.
There are several pavilions in the courtyard, each embracing the terrain and scattered among lush bamboos, pines and cypresses. Walking slowly, the grass is green and green, Ganoderma lucidum is sprouting, and the light is misty everywhere; orchids are blooming, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. Occasionally, there are more than ten Zhuyao flowers and strange grasses with different postures.
For example, the seven-leaf green radish is more than two feet tall, with a green body, thick stems, and seven leaves, which are like exquisite cattail fans. A fruit shaped like a woman's body is shyly knotted in the leaf. The trunk, limbs and facial features are clearly distinguishable. The fruit is green and shiny, and the fragrance is fragrant;
Purple heart grass is elegant in appearance, seven inches long, with downy stems, opposite leaves, oval shape, triangular serrated edges, and a bunch of purple berries on the top. The purple color is extremely mysterious;
The orchid of the Four Spirits Fairy is as red as rouge, about a foot tall, without stems, with thick, spiny leaves, like swords and halberds. There are four red spiritual fruits in the middle facing all directions. The red mist of the spiritual fruits is lingering, and the fragrance is refreshing.
The elixirs everywhere are treasures that are hard to find in the world, but they are cultivated in the courtyard so casually. This kind of heroic spirit is rare in the world.
The blue luan bird drags its long feathers and strolls leisurely in the courtyard, and Yan Ci follows closely behind. After walking for more than ten feet, there is an exquisite green bamboo pavilion on the roadside. There is a bluestone table in the pavilion. On the table, a cup of fragrant tea is steaming.
A bright and dignified woman with a red petal mark between her eyebrows stood quietly by the pavilion, with a slight smile on her lips, looking at two butterflies in the flowers in a leisurely manner.
The warm wind blew and raised Qing Ming's hair on her temples. She waved her hands lightly, and Yan Ci took a few steps forward to bow to Chen Fei and said, "Yan Ci, see you, Master."
Qing Ming was full of joy and said with a smile: "It's very good. The foundation was built in three years. It lives up to the high expectations of being a teacher."
Yan Ci knew that if he had not encountered a small beast offering fruit, the foundation building might not have been so smooth, so he said: "The disciple's qualifications are dull, and the advanced stage is due to luck."
Qing Ming was full of pride and said with a smile: "The disciples of Tongtang Tongchenyuan are actually stupid people. I'm afraid even the owner of the garden finds it ridiculous."
Yan Ci was slightly uneasy. He had read through the classics over the years and knew that there was a difference between the true spiritual roots and the supernatural spiritual roots of heaven and earth. He was by no means a great talent in cultivation. He really didn't know how Qing Ming could favor him.
Yan Ci was thinking wildly and completely forgot to reply.
Qing Ming smiled and said nothing. Unexpectedly, a green bamboo several inches long appeared in his palm. The bamboo body was slightly cool, green and green, and there was a faint glimmer of light flowing through it.
The green bamboo was caressed in the palm of her hand, her face was calm, but there was endless tenderness in her eyes. What a pair of breathtaking eyes, as deep and beautiful as black pearls!
Yan Ci touched Qing Ming's gaze and couldn't help but think out of her body. Maybe the master was thinking of the past years. Did a figure of a certain person appear in her mind?
Yan Ci was thinking wildly, and in a trance, he caught a glimpse of Qing Ming raising his hand, and green bamboo swinging slowly towards him.
Qing Ming's thoughts were chaotic, but she couldn't help but reveal her true feelings. She stood silently for a long time before she suddenly woke up. She gathered her face and taught Yan Ci the Taoism. She said slowly: "The great road is empty, and practitioners use magic to prove it. Tao is the art of magic." Ling, art is the body of Tao, Tao is virtual, focusing on the origin and law, art is reality, lies in strategies and means. If the art is controlled by the Tao, the art will be successful, if the art is separated from the Tao, the art will decline. The two rely on each other, and the beginning and end are orderly. .”
"This method was created by a close friend of my teacher. It contains the mysteries and essence of Taoism. It can not only improve the Taoist realm, but also has superb life and death skills. It can be used as a major skill to study carefully. After studying with my teacher for three years, Delete and fill in the gaps, and gradually improve the method. The Qi refining method that was previously given to you originated from this. The effect of purifying the magic power is very unique. If you find omissions and fallacies during practice, you can make corrections. If you can understand With this technique, the path is truly limitless.”
His words were filled with deep feelings of care, and his teachings were like spring breeze and rain, which Yan Ciming would never forget.
This magic formula seems to be something Qing Ming cherishes very much, as if he saw the figure of his best friend, with a vague sadness floating in his expression.
Yan Ci felt a little embarrassed and held the green bamboo in his palm motionless. It would be outrageous to put it away, and it would be outrageous not to put it away. "Is it possible that Master is a little reluctant to let go?" Yan Ci couldn't help but secretly thought.
Looking at Yan Ci's thin face, Qing Ming said warmly: "It's not very peaceful in the Withered Mist Forest recently. I heard that you are hunting fog beasts back and forth, so you should be more careful when something happens." His tone was very concerned, which Yan Ci could hear. Medium to slightly acidic.
Qing Ming only heard about it briefly, but Yan Ci not only knew the ins and outs, but he was also the instigator of the changes in the forest.
It is said that in the middle of last month, a group of giant apes suddenly emerged from the dry fog forest. They grabbed stones and held sticks to fight for territory with the fog beasts, and they fought wildly. The two sides fought with great jealousy, causing the forest to become smoky. The Mist Beast King even appeared in person to supervise the battle. Two groups of disciples in Tongchenyuan were passively involved in the battle, and were almost eaten alive by the beasts.
Yan Ci was secretly surprised when he heard about this in the Law Enforcement Hall. He thought that the giant ape was coming to compete for the territory. It was obviously the mist beast that was introduced into the giant ape's territory.
Yan Ci didn't dare to hide anything, and honestly told him about the fierce battle between the beasts, how to escape, and what happened to Lingshan.
Qing Ming listened carefully and said: "That group of giant apes is a strange species in the forest. It is said that the leader, the ancient ape emperor, has the blood of the ancient giant apes and is a species of the immortal world. The ancient ape emperor sits on the cloud deep in the dry fog forest. In the Miaoling Mountain, he rarely goes out, and he likes to collect exotic animals and rare treasures from all over the world to use as playthings. After the establishment of the sect in this garden, they became close neighbors to each other, and they lived in peace with each other."
Yan Ci said in surprise: "Yunmiao Lingshan, could it be that mountain?"
Qing Ming said solemnly: "It's very possible. The garden master has a very deep relationship with the ancient ape emperor. Because of the ancient ape emperor's eccentric temperament, he restricts his disciples from visiting at will. Naturally, no one knows the detailed location of Lingshan."
Yan Ci was silent for a while, then he flicked the spirit beast bracelet on his wrist, and as soon as the light shone, the exquisite little beast suddenly appeared on the table.
The little beast was sleepy, and its body suddenly tilted as if it was drunk. It woke itself up with a fright. It stared at its big dark and clear eyes and roared in a low voice. It was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this move that disturbed its deep sleep.
Qing Ming looked at the little beast blankly and murmured: "Qilin beast! It turns out to be a real baby Qilin!"
Qingluan was perched on the bluestone outside the pavilion, combing its feathers calmly and calmly. However, since the young Qilin appeared, it has become uneasy, and there is a hint of fear in its vigilance. The momentum waxed and waned, and the young Qilin sensed Qingluan's timidity, baring his teeth even more to show off his bluff.
Yan Ci stretched out his hand to hold the little beast, but the harder it became to move the embroidered pillow, the more arrogant it became.
Yan Ci asked doubtfully: "It is said that Lin Ao, a hundred beasts, can control the earth, and Feng Ao, a hundred birds, can control the sky. Divine creatures have their own territory. Why is there such hatred?"
Qing Ming sighed: "Times have passed, but the resentment flowing in the blood is unforgettable. The battle between Lin, Phoenix and Dragon has never stopped since the day it was born."
Mentioning this matter, Qing Ming mentioned a myth by the way, saying that the sand and stones from the Tianhe River in the fairyland were left in the mortal world, and Danshan was formed thousands of miles away from Beiming. The conflict situation is that Yuan Qilin controls the land, Chu Feng controls the air, and Ancestral Dragon controls the sea.
The first phoenix has five colors: red, green, yellow, purple, and white, and the five colors turn into five chicks: red phoenix, green luan, eagle chick, eagle eagle, and swan. The phoenix clan continues to multiply, but there is only one pair of red phoenix and green luan in the world. The two birds love each other endlessly. After five hundred years of nirvana and rebirth, they will never leave each other and care for each other throughout their lives.
The descendants of Chufeng were born with great power and have followed the ancient immortals to the fairy world, while Qingluan, the red phoenix, was abandoned by the Feng clan because of her obsession with love and stayed in the human world for the rest of her life.
Qing Ming sighed leisurely: "Years ago, the red phoenix Qingluan was reborn in the flames, but unfortunately he was hunted by evil cultivators. Qingluan was captured and the red phoenix was missing. Killing the auspicious beast indiscriminately is a misfortune for the people. As a teacher, Naturally, we should not sit idly by and ignore such evil deeds, and then we will kill all the stubborn enemies and return to Tongchenyuan with Qingluan."
"Qingluan couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness, wept and cried blood. He could not help but look forward to seeing Chifeng all day long, eager to find Chifeng to meet him. The true feelings are heart-wrenching. He has traveled all over the Divine Continent to search for him for decades, but there is still no news about Chifeng. Therefore, Qingluan stays with my master for the time being to encourage him, and patiently waits for his reunion with Chifeng after a long separation."
The lingering couple turned into lonely birds one after another, which made Yan Ci feel sad. Phoenix has a noble temperament, looks proud of the sky when it moves, is quiet and graceful, but is still a victim of human indifference.
Qingluan finally calmed down his panic and gradually regained his noble and unrestrained posture.
The strong and weak forces were already clear. Young Qilin's eyes were slightly dull, and the top of his head gently rubbed Yan Ci's palm, as if he had truly found a backer.
Yan Ci stared at the young Qilin and suddenly exclaimed: "If the Qilin comes from Yunmiao Mountain, wouldn't the Ancient Ape Emperor come looking for it? Oh no!" The whirring sound attracted the attention of the Luan Bird Qilin.
Qing Mingzhen shook his head slightly and scolded: "The soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it up. Why are you panicking?" Yan Ci knew that he had gotten into trouble, and he was quite uneasy.
Qing Ming said: "Qilin has benevolence and righteousness, and has the virtues of a gentleman. There must be a reason for him to be his friend. Not to mention that Tong Chenyuan and my teacher are here, how can we tolerate that ancient ape being unreasonable?" After hearing this, Yan Ci felt a little relieved.
Qing Ming pondered for a while and then said: "This beast is young and it is difficult to provide help in the short term. Try not to reveal its identity on weekdays, so as not to provoke discord with the villain."
Yan Ci took it seriously and responded: "Disciple, I will obey my master's orders."
Qing Ming warned again: "Remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be cautious in your words and deeds when encountering problems." After saying this, he flicked his fragrant sleeves and turned around to walk deeper into the flower path.
Yan Ci watched Qing Ming's floating figure disappear among the flowers, and couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in her heart.
