After a long time, Xiao He woke up from his deep sleep and opened his blurred eyes. He was shocked by the scene around him. The rock walls that were surrounded by the "Inner Alchemy Sutra" were now beyond recognition and seemed to collapse. One word. Out of sight too. When he lowered his head and looked at himself, he saw that the clothes he had been wearing were gone, and his pure white body was directly visible. Only then did Xiao He recall the scene before he fell asleep, and then used endoscopic techniques to explore himself. Every closed acupoint door had been opened, and the magic power was running more smoothly. What surprised Xiao He the most was the shadow of a Tai Chi mirror. At this moment, it is floating quietly above the spring water. I don’t know when the Tai Chi mirror has merged with myself!
Xiao He stood up and wanted to walk out of the cave. He was a little shy for a moment, scratched his head, and said to himself: "A gentleman is magnanimous, so what's the harm?" After that, he walked out casually.
After walking out of the cave, Tianjizi was standing facing the wind, standing with his back to him, looking up into the distance and not knowing what he was looking at.
Hearing Xiao He's footsteps, Tian Jizi said, "Have you found the "Inner Alchemy Sutra" and the Tai Chi Mirror?"
"Yeah!" Xiao He replied.
"How much of the Dharma Sutra can you understand?" Tian Jizi asked again.
Xiao He then told Tianjizi everything that happened in Tanyun Cave. After hearing this, Tianjizi laughed loudly regardless of his image. Xiao He had only seen this expression once from his master, Taoist Master Tianyanzi. Tianjizi laughed even more freely than Tianyanzi.
After the laughter, Tianjizi suddenly became quiet and stared at Xiao He silently.
Xiao He looked at the always grumpy old man in front of him, but the expression on his face was very complicated at the moment, as if mixed with one part regret, two parts self-blame, three parts sorrow, and four parts joy.
"Uncle Tianjizi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao He asked carefully.
Tianjizi shook his head and said: "The time is approaching, go back to the Alchemy Peak! They are still waiting for you!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Xiao He looked at Tianjizi's back and felt very strange for a moment, but also respected him very much. Although this hard-spoken and soft-hearted old man has always been unwilling to admit that he taught him, Xiao He was still extremely grateful.
Feeling born from his heart, Xiao He silently knelt down and bowed, saying, "Disciple, thank you, Master, for your teachings!" After saying that, he left Tian Jizi quietly and turned around to leave.
At the top of Demon Cloud Peak, an old man standing like a withered pine murmured to himself: "Master, your stupid disciples have finally fulfilled your last wish!"
Xiao He, who left Demon Cloud Peak, did not go straight back to Alchemy Peak. At this moment, with "no one else around", he would definitely be extremely embarrassed if he faced Yu Kui and Yu Qing in his current posture. Thinking of this, he first flew deep into the dense forest. , picked a few broad leaves to make a simple grass skirt, and then dared to fly to the Alchemy Peak.
At the top of the alchemy peak, Hou Zhu, sisters Yu Kui and Yu Qing were all waiting for Xiao He. Especially Yu Qing, who seemed to be a little anxious. From time to time, she looked into the sky and suddenly saw a figure. From far to near, Yu Qing Qing shouted happily: "Junior brother Xiao He is back!"
Yu Kui and Hou Zhu both followed the sound and saw Xiao He flying back to the alchemy peak wearing only a grass skirt.
Xiao He's snow-white body made Yu Kui and Yu Qing stunned for a moment, their eyes widened and speechless. Hou Zhu was the first to ask: "Junior brother, why do you look like this?"
Xiao He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a long story, let's talk about it on the way!"
Hou Zhu nodded and said, "That's fine, Taoist Priest Tianyanzi is waiting for us. Please change your clothes quickly and we'll set off immediately."
"Where is Senior Brother Xingyu? I want to say goodbye to him." Xiao He looked around and asked doubtfully.
Before Hou Zhu could speak, Yuqing, who had just come to his senses, took over the words and replied: "Senior brother Xingyu was sent to southern Xinjiang by Uncle Tianyanzi to find out the news, and he has left early."
"So that's it..." Xiao He murmured after hearing this, his eyes showing concern for Xingyu.
At this time, Yu Kui saw Xiao He's thoughts and comforted him: "Xing Yu has a high level of cultivation, superior intelligence, and is decent and generous in doing things. There will be no danger, so don't worry!"
Xiao He nodded, showed a smile, and said: "Senior Sister is exactly what you said!"
Yu Kui looked at Xiao He from top to bottom again, smiled slightly, and said, "You'd better hurry up and change your clothes. Don't keep Uncle Tianyanzi waiting any longer."
Xiao He followed Yu Kui's gaze and looked down. He saw that his attire was really embarrassing, and said, "I will change my clothes in the alchemy room right now. Please wait a moment, brothers and sisters!"
Hou Zhu responded: "The three of us are waiting for you at the entrance of Uncle Master's Xian Pavilion!"
Xiao He nodded quickly and went straight to the alchemy room.
Not long after, Xiao He returned to the gate of Xian Pavilion dressed in white. After a month in Tanyun Cave, it seemed that not only Xiao He's cultivation had changed, but even his temperament was much more extraordinary than before. Sisters Yu Kui and Yu Qing saw it again. Startled. However, both of them were reminding themselves that they had lost something and it couldn't happen again.
"coming."
Before the three of them could speak, the calm and powerful voice of Taoist Master Tianyanzi sounded, and the three of them did not dare to speak. Xiao He respectfully replied: "This disciple has returned from seclusion in the Tanyun Cave of Moyun Peak, Taoist Master of Tianjizi."
As soon as Xiao He finished speaking, the bamboo doors of the Xian Pavilion opened to the left and right, Taoist Priest Tianyanzi strolled out, his eyes stopped on Xiao He for a few seconds, then nodded with satisfaction, and said calmly: "Let's go. "
In this way, Xiao He and the other two quietly followed Tianyanzi and started their trip to Shaolin.
As soon as the barrier of Guiyan Peak was opened, Tianyanzi took four disciples and flew with their swords without saying a word from beginning to end. Not long after the flight, Xiao He gently brushed away the mist-like light clouds around him and looked down. It’s time to arrive at Xuanyang City again. For a moment, mixed emotions surged into my heart.
Tianyanzi glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the change in Xiao He's expression, and asked, "What?"
Xiao He paused, calmed down a little, and replied: "The city below my feet is not far from my home. I suddenly thought of some past events in this world, and I just felt some nostalgia."
Tianyanzi nodded and said, "Then you take your senior brothers and sisters down for a walk. I will find a place to wait for you."
Hearing that the always serious Taoist Tianyanzi spoke, several disciples were overjoyed and followed Taoist Tianyanzi to the outside of Xuanyang City. Xiao He raised his head and looked at the three masculine characters of Xuanyang City on the city gate, and couldn't help but sigh again. The other three disciples noticed Xiao He's strangeness, but they didn't dare to ask more, but Hou Zhu patted Xiao He's hand gently. Shoulder.
Taoist priest Tianyanzi spoke again: "You can walk around as you like. Come back before dark. I'll be waiting outside the city."
Xiao He replied: "Master, find a better inn in the city to rest. It's a rare opportunity to come out and experience the taste of fireworks in the world."
"Junior brother, don't you know that human inns need money? Why do we carry those vulgar things with us?" Yuqing asked doubtfully.
Before Xiao He could answer, Hou Zhu said with a smile: "Sister Yuqing, don't you know that brother Xiao He was a well-known rich boy before he joined the sect?"
"Really?" Yu Qing asked while looking at Xiao He in surprise.
Xiao He still smiled faintly and did not speak.
Taoist Master Tianyanzi spoke again: "No, I will wait outside the city. You can walk around as you please, but be careful not to reveal your identity as an immortal cultivator!"
"Yes!" Xiao He and his four disciples replied respectfully. Tianyanzi said no more and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Taoist Priest Tianyanzi left, several people unconsciously felt more relaxed. Hou Zhu said happily: "Junior brother Xiao He, we are all people who have lived in the mountains for hundreds of years and have not been in the world. This time I have to trouble you to be our guide! "
"I still have to worry about junior brother's money!" Yu Qing also said with a smile.
Xiao He also smiled and said: "It's a small matter, let's go!"
After saying that, the three of them followed Xiao He and walked into Xuanyang City.
Xuanyang City is still very lively, with roadside vendors, taverns, teahouses, and butcher shops, and the sounds of hawking are endless. The four of them are walking on the road, unable to hide their extraordinary aura, attracting passers-by to watch, especially Xiao He, who is even more eye-catching, attracting Hou Zhu and Yu Kui laughed and said nothing.
Walking further into the city, there are inns and restaurants with sparkling bricks and tiles, hanging eaves and floating signboards. Xiao He is still young in cultivating immortals, so he doesn't realize there are many differences. Hou Zhu, Yuqing and Yukui grew up in the mountains and have not been there for hundreds of years. In this world, I was momentarily dazzled by the lively scene in front of me. Yu Kui is a senior sister and can still be reserved. Yu Qing loves to play by nature. Looking here and there, she just feels that she has lost a few eyes. When he sees someone interesting or curious, he casts his gaze at Xiao He. Xiao He always smiles and follows behind to pay the bill.
Hou Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Now that Senior Sister Yuqing has seen the world of flowers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to practice quietly in the future. Senior Sister Yukui must keep an eye on her for Uncle Tian Yuzi to prevent her from secretly going down the mountain."
"Haha!" After hearing Hou Zhu's words, Yu Kui and Xiao He both laughed.
Walking further, Xiao He's footsteps gradually became fuller. Not far ahead was the antique shop where Xiao He bought the fan. Seeing Xiao He stop, Yu Qing couldn't help but run back and asked: "Junior brother Xiao He, what's wrong?"
Xiao He replied: "It's okay, let's go in and have a look!" After Xiao He finished speaking, he walked forward by himself, and the other three had to follow curiously.
Walking into the store, Xiao He saw at a glance that the boss from back then was still the same as before, except that his temples were gray. Compared with the shrewd and clever boss back then, he had a little more mature temperament. Seeing Xiao He and his party walking in, the waiter first stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, objectively, please come in!"
Yuqing looked at the boy talking to him and asked mischievously: "How is it, little boy, do you have anything good?"
"Of course!" When the waiter heard this, he seemed to be a big customer and said quickly: "Antiques, calligraphy and painting, official kiln porcelain, everything is available in our store! I'm afraid it will dazzle you! What do you need?" the waiter asked. , while looking at the people in front of him, finally, his eyes rested on Xiao He. Although the people in front of him all had extraordinary temperaments, the clerk could tell at a glance that Xiao He was the real buyer.
Yuqing pretended to be angry and said: "I am asking, but you answer him, what do you mean?"
The clerk was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to reply. Xiao He came to the rescue and said, "You are indeed a clerk from the old store. You are as smart as your boss back then."
"What, objectively do you know our boss?" the boy asked.
Xiao He smiled and nodded: "We are old acquaintances."
"Boss, you have a friend here!" Before Xiao He could finish his words, the clerk called to the inner hall.
When the boss heard the waiter's shouting, he also looked towards the door and saw only a few extraordinary people. He really couldn't remember that he had such friends. Although he hesitated, he still wanted to come to the door.
