Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 92 Nice to meet you, Jinling! The Tao of 'Yin Yang and Five Elements' is beginning to emerge

Lu Chenran, under the doubtful gaze of the 'Snow Fox', raised it up with both hands and shook it in the air.

"嘤——"

Yue Fu's heart was suddenly shaken to her throat, her eyes rolled in circles, her fluffy fox tail was scratching wildly, and her two little paws were pounding hard, trying to break free from his hands.

'What does this bad boy want to do? '

'Does he usually do this to his aunt? '

Zi Pingsheng's eyes were filled with mist.

'How does Yi Su endure it on weekdays? This uncomfortable yet desirable feeling'

Yinya bit it tightly, clamped the fox's tail tightly with her buttocks, and curled her little paws tightly into a fur ball.

When have I ever experienced such humiliation?

If I get the chance, I must get back every bit of what I have suffered today from this brat. It is in vain that I thought this boy was quite a gentleman.

All his tenderness was reserved for others, and all the bad taste in his heart was used on his aunt.

Of course Lu Chenran didn't know what Yue Fu was thinking, so he slowly put the snow fox on his lap and rubbed the fox's head.

Snow Fox has indeed been replaced.

But the awareness in his heart could not be revealed on his face.

Although Moon Rabbit always gives people a graceful, lazy and casual appearance, in fact, he is experienced and shrewd, and the slightest movement may be noticed.

He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, smiled knowingly, and had a vague guess in his heart:

'.Does my aunt want to see me? '

Combined with the vague expectation in the eyes of 'Fake Moon Fu' before, the only possibility he could think of was this.

Through the experiences along the way, I became connected with all things. Faced with all the unexpected events, I thought that my state of mind had become more and more stable and ethereal, but when I thought of this possibility, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Lu Chenran breathed a long sigh of relief, trying his best to calm down his restless heart. He gently flicked the hem of his robe with his hand, causing a muffled sound. Then he stood up, walked out of the room, and leaned against the osmanthus railing. superior.

"Mr. Big, are we disembarking?"

Xiao An's little hand was held by Zhi Zhu, and his little fists were clenched in front of his chest, looking forward to it.

Lu Chenran reached out and patted Xiao An's head gently, staring at the deep fog with soft eyes:

"Yeah, we're about to disembark."

"Our journey is over"

"My tiger——"

The green gourd hung on the hilt of Shui Longyin's sword. He blinked and glanced at the small black gourd pendant hanging on the gourd's mouth.

Then, those black and white pupils stared at Jin Ling.

There, there is a high mountain that runs through the top of the clouds, and there is also a legendary immortal who will preach on the top of that mountain.

"Brother Lu, it turns out you are here, making it easy for me to find you!"

At this moment, Hua Dianluo ran over in a hurry, panting heavily.

"Flower Girl, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Chenran looked at her doubtfully.

Hua Tianluo scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"Brother Lu, I may fall asleep in a while. Brother Lu, remember to take good care of my body. I just asked about it. If you want to go ashore, you can fall asleep and open your eyes the next day and go ashore."

"I'm afraid that Brother Lu won't be able to find me. I still have to help Brother Lu find a house in Jinling, right?"

Lu Chenran was stunned at first, and then he felt happy.

Then he nodded gently:

"I see."

"."

Night fell.

Above the mirage, more and more people have packed their bags and gathered on the boat deck, looking at the stars.

Two gulls and swallows flew in from a distance, their scissored wings brushing through the cold winter night, cutting off the stream of moonlight, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, and passing through the countless twinkling stars.

This is a galaxy visible to the naked eye, spanning the ancient city of Jinling.

Three Confucian scholars stood silently in the center of the crowd.

After a while, Wang Zi'an spoke softly:

"Uncle Master, are there really immortals on Buxian Mountain? Will living immortals like Master Lu also climb that mountain to listen to the immortal sounds?"

Wang Yun looked deeply at the Buxian Mountain and said meaningfully:

"Zi'an, you and I are both disciples of Master Lu. From now on, we will no longer be referred to as uncle and nephew."

Wang Zi'an's pupils suddenly shrank:

"Senior brother, you mean..."

Wang Yun nodded lightly.

Perhaps Wang Zi'an had thought about it before, but when his uncle's thoughts were confirmed in one sentence, his heart was inevitably shocked.

When many coincidences come together, the correct answer may be obtained.

——It turns out that the immortal on Mount Buhan is Master Lu.

Above the mirage, a mist gradually rose.

As the fog spread, people began to lie down and sleep soundly on the boat.

"Hey, wake up!"

Seeing this scene, some people in the mirage began to panic.

The waiter in the teahouse smiled at them and said:

"It's okay. These people who have disembarked from the ship just need to take a nap. When they open their eyes tomorrow, they will be trapped in Jinling City. What they have experienced during this time can be regarded as a dream."

Everyone suddenly realized:

"I see!"

"This mirage is really magical."

"."

"hold head high--"

A mirage.

The mirage filled the entire mirage.

Here, everything is peaceful.

The sky was covered with osmanthus leaves, and the branches rolled up the sleeping person and disappeared into the sky.

I don't know how many months I've been sleeping. Nothingness is like a dream, and it merges and disperses like smoke.

The world is like a mote of dust, and the flowers floating in the sky are inside the body in dreams.

The breeze was blowing all night, after the light rain.

The morning dew condenses on the branches, like beads or tears, as if it has not dropped yet.

"Choo Choo Choo."

Three or two birds were jumping around looking for grass seeds on the ground, and soon they stepped on a sleeping big cat.

The big cat's whiskers moved, and a cat clawed impatiently towards the side. Then something suddenly came to his mind, and his sleepy eyes suddenly widened. He raised his tail and pinned the bird down. Under the paw:

"My tiger——"

Hushan God made a lot of noise, which disturbed Xiao An, who was still sleeping soundly.

Xiao An yawned, rubbed his eyes with his little hands, and smacked his mouth:

"Mr. Da, why did Xiao An fall asleep again?"

As he spoke, he opened his eyes and stared at everything in front of him.

The endless green mountains and green willows roam the picturesque landscape here.

What comes into view is a river. There is a gentle breeze. There are boats on the river in twos and threes. Willows are leaning on both sides of the river. The vegetation is flourishing. The banks of the river are covered with orchids, which are lush and green.

Xiao An quickly looked around.

Fortunately, I saw Mr. Da sitting cross-legged under a willow tree, holding a volume of books in his hands and studying quietly.

Seeing this scene, he felt relieved, rolled up the hot stall under his body into a bag, and walked over with a bound:

"Mr. Big, where is this?"

Lu Chenran stretched his slightly stiff arms, rubbed her head, and said gently:

"woke up?"

"Uh-huh."

Last night, a osmanthus leaf carried a few people through the thick fog, and finally placed them here. Although I don't know the specific location, I think it was near Jinling.

Seeing several people sleeping soundly, Lu Chenran did not disturb them, and read books all night with the faint light of fireflies.

"The soil here is so soft."

Running on the soft soil trails in the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao An, who was used to staying in the north, found this a little strange.

The soil in the north is hard and black, the climate is cold, and the soil on the ground is almost as hard as stone.

On such soft soil, Xiao An felt as if he was stepping on cotton, unable to exert any energy.

She knelt down and poked the soft soil with her fingers, looking curious.

"That's what Jiangnan is like."

"Oh."

The snow fox lay lazily in the pear blossom canopy, looking at it lazily with its charming and narrow fox eyes, and yawned.

Not long after, several people woke up one after another.

Hua Dianluo stretched her waist and rubbed her hair:

"Brother Lu, good morning."

"Good morning, Flower Girl."

She neatly tidied up her messy clothes, walked straight to the river, squatted down and grabbed a handful of water to wash her face. Perhaps because she didn't feel like she was feeling refreshed enough, she simply put her butt up and lay on the ground, sinking her whole head into the stream.

"call--"

"So cool!"

Then, Hua Dianluo suddenly raised his head, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, wiped it on his face carelessly, and said refreshed:

"Brother Lu, let's go!"

"it is good."

Zhi Zhu silently helped Lu Chenran pack his luggage, then held Xiao An's hand and followed behind the two of them.

The four of them walked along the soft official road towards the city. The ground was full of horse hoof prints and deep ruts.

There is a lot of noise from merchants coming and going.

After walking for about an hour, Lu Chenran finally saw this ancient city.

Under the city wall, people came and went, and countless people poured into it.

Men of letters, poets, and knights from all walks of life came and went among them.

Jinling, the capital of Shangjing, is like a microcosm of the entire Zhou Dynasty. Here, there are all these strange things, which are vague and unreal, like a dream.

Perhaps because he was used to the windy and snowy northern border, Lu Chenran's expression was indeed dazed for a moment when he first arrived in this prosperous place.

The Buxian Mountain towers just outside the city of Jinling, and the sea of ​​clouds hides all the fairy dreams.

"Brother Lu, we're entering the city!"

Hua Dianluo blinked and patted his shoulder.

"Ah."

Lawrence Lu smiled gently at him.

"Brother Lu, he must have been reading all night."

"Is such that."

"Oh my god, Brother Lu is really hardworking."

"Isn't it the same with Flower Girl?"

"That's natural. I am the most talented swordsman in the Emei Sword Sect."

"I can tell."

"hey-hey."

Lu Chenran followed the crowd and poured into the city gate.

My heart is full of joy.

After traveling thousands of miles and entering another world, will I be able to see an immortal?

The legendary immortal.

In this world, there must be immortals riding swords out to the sea and ascending to the sky, traveling across the sea in the morning and evening, eminent Buddhist monks clasping their hands together and condensing a hundred-foot-long golden body, and Taoist immortals bowing their heads and floating on the earth.

Nice to meet you, Jinling.

The prosperity in Jinling City is definitely not comparable to the cities in the north.

The street is wide enough to accommodate five carriages traveling together, but even so, it is still crowded with people. If you look closely, you can even see blond and blue-eyed people from the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Great Qin Kingdom.

There is no doubt that the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time is definitely the greatest country in the world.

And going to Beijing encompasses the prosperity of the entire Zhou Dynasty.

"By the way, I have never asked Brother Lu what kind of house he wants to live in."

"Our Emei Sword Sect has a lot of properties in Shangjing. I will definitely choose one that satisfies Brother Lu."

Hua Dianluo walked in front and said.

Housing prices in Jinling are very expensive. Even a small courtyard in the urban area costs nearly ten thousand taels of silver.

Lu Chenran picked up the struggling snow fox from the pear blossom canopy. After thinking for a while, he said:

"It's best not to be in a busy city. Lu likes to be quieter. The room doesn't need to be big, it's better to be simple and simple." "Not in a busy city? Well, do you have any other requirements?"

"It should be closer to Bulham Mountain."

"Is that all?"

"Ah."

"That's easy to handle."

After walking along the main road for a while, Huadian finally stopped in front of a shop and said:

"Brother Lu, this is it! Let me go in and say hello to the person in charge of this place."

After saying that, Hua Diluo walked into the shop.

Lu Chenran looked at the shop. It covered a large area and had a signboard with the four characters "Emei Sword Sect" hanging on the door.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, I saw a middle-aged man following Hua Dianluo. He greeted him politely, cupped his hands and said:

"I am the master of the Jinling Hall of the Emei Sword Sect. I have met Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu, you are tired from the journey. Please come in and have a cup of tea and rest."

Huadianluo blinked at Lu Chenran:

"Brother Lu, this is Hall Master Li. He will be responsible for all matters going to Beijing."

Lu Chenran smiled gently and clasped his hands:

"It turns out to be Hall Master Li. I'm disrespectful. I don't know what you call me."

As he spoke, he looked at the hall master.

His round body was wrapped in a jacket, dressed as an ordinary wealthy businessman, and his face seemed to be smiling even when he was not smiling.

"Li Manlou, Tianluo has already told me about Mr. Lu's matter. I would also like to thank you for your help. Mr. Lu, please——"

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Chenran followed Hall Master Li into the room.

"I have thought about the accommodation that Mr. Emei needs. Our Emei Jianzong has such a courtyard on Jishan Mountain next to Bulxian Mountain. The scenery of Jishan Mountain is pleasant, it is not far from Buxian Mountain, and there is nothing around. I think this person is suitable for a master like Mr. Qingxiu."

Lu Chenran smiled bitterly:

"Lu is just a man from the mountains. He is not an expert. The hall master is joking."

Hall Master Li shook his head, looked at Lu Chenran meaningfully and said:

"I understand, I understand, sir, you definitely don't want to disturb others."

"Please rest assured that we will not inform others of Mr. Lu's whereabouts. If you are in a hurry, please wait here for a while and I will send a boat to pick you up."

"."

Lu Chenran was a little surprised by the power of the Emei Sword Sect. Had he already chosen his residence during the conversation?

But the place they arranged was naturally better than the one they found themselves, and it also saved them a lot of trouble.

The 'Snow Fox' in his arms blinked and secretly memorized the name Jishan.

"Sir, please sit down. I have already asked the cook to prepare some food for you. I have some important things to do, so I won't disturb you for now."

"Thank you. Hall Master Li, please help yourself."

Hall Master Li nodded and walked into the house.

A maid brought some tea and several plates of pastries.

Apparently taking into account Lu Chenran's entourage, he also prepared some extra bowls and chopsticks.

Lu Chenran hadn't eaten anything today, and he was a little hungry, so he was not polite.

"Fairy Zhizhu doesn't have to stand there to eat some."

Zhi Zhu hesitated for a moment, then sat aside and ate the pastry in small bites.

Hua Tianluo and Lu Chenran chatted about each other.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

A maid opened the door, and an elegant gentleman walked in. He was tall and fair-skinned. He walked into the room and looked around. After a while, when he saw a man in fox fur sitting at the low desk where guests were waiting, he was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything.

He walked into the house minding his own business, wiping his beard, and said:

"Zou has recently developed some miraculous medicines. I wonder if Hall Master Li is interested in purchasing some?"

The Confucian scholar's voice made Lu Chenran a little surprised.

This person's voice is extremely soft and soft. It could be said that he is a eunuch in the palace, but he has a beard, and this person's yang energy is very strong. It is unlikely that he has had his eggs cut off.

Hall Master Li frowned, put down his work, and looked at the Confucian scholar impatiently:

"I said Zou Yan, you are a Confucian scholar. If you don't recite the Book of Study, what are you doing rolling those clay balls when you have nothing to do?"

"Besides, what's the use of those mud balls of yours? The balls you made not long ago were eaten by the chickens, and the chickens died suddenly after eating them. How can you still feed them to others?"

"."

Mr. Zou raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry. He looked at him seriously and said:

"Master Li, Zou correct me. Those are not clay balls made by hand. Zou condensed the world's best herbs into a ball and used the fire to extract the essence. Zou called it elixir. medicine."

Hall Master Li naturally sneered at the words of this sage scholar and sneered:

"Okay, okay, let's just say it's the so-called 'elixir' you refined. If you put those heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the stove and burn them randomly, what essence can there be left in those spiritual herbs?"

"The way to treat medicine is to apply it externally or boil it and take it internally. How can it be put into a stove and burned into slag and rolled into pills?"

"The chicken died suddenly after eating that 'qi training pill' of yours, how can it be eaten by others?"

"."

Mr. Zou frowned, feeling complicated that his meticulous work was so belittled by Hall Master Li.

That 'qi training pill' was taken orally by myself. After taking it, I felt a breath of energy in my Dantian, which was comparable to the six months of hard training of these knights and knights.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Master Li, Zou believes that the chicken's sudden death was not due to the poison caused by taking Zou's 'qi training pill'. If the 'pill' refined by Zou gives a 'qi-entraining pill' If a warrior in the third realm takes it, his skill can at least reach the third realm."

"It's most likely because the chicken's body's energy capacity was too shallow, and the veins couldn't withstand the essence contained in the elixir, so the veins exploded and died."

"."

Hall Master Li waved his hand impatiently:

"Mr. Zou, I did not pursue this matter for the sake of your reputation as a Confucian disciple."

"You can make a warrior who is in the first level of inducing qi eat a clay ball and immediately break through to the third level of inducing qi to catch up with half a year of hard training. Are you a god? How can there be such a fantastic thing in the world?"

"You are a scholar, don't think that I don't know your trivial things. Go away quickly. There are distinguished guests here, so I didn't say anything rude, otherwise."

"."

Mr. Zou's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and he had so many thoughts in his mind that even though he had thousands of words to say, he didn't know who to tell them to.

Then he sighed.

He has already searched all the Tangkou drugstores in Jinling. Scholars always value their own reputation as higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, but even though he bears the title of shameful Confucian scholar, his heart is still not discouraged.

It's just that - this is the ninety-ninth time he has been rejected.

You don't have to care about rumors and gossip, you don't have to be indifferent to preaching, provocation, and scolding.

It was just his hard work, but it was so slandered, and he suddenly felt an indescribable shame in his heart.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times he said it, no one in Jinling believed it.

After these people bought his elixir, they all first threw it on chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs to test the poison. Without exception, these animals all died suddenly.

This also made Zou Yan gradually doubt himself more and more.

Is it really my own problem?

Zou Yan took a deep breath and glanced at Mr. Hu Qiu in the corner. He secretly guessed that this young master might be the distinguished guest of Hall Master Li. After thinking about it for a while, he held the only remaining words in his heart. Hope, he walked towards Mr. Fox Qiu.

Then Zou Yan poured out an orange-red ball from the gourd on his waist, held it in both hands, and said seriously:

"Zou Yan, I have met this gentleman. What do you call him?"

"."

Lu Chenran looked at the elixir in his hand with a blank look on his face.

He certainly didn't miss a word of what Mr. Zou said to Hall Master Li.

Pill?

Could this really be a pill?

According to Hall Master Li, there is probably no such thing as a pill in this world.

I'm afraid this person may not have researched something really good.

Hall Master Li was fiddling with his abacus. When he saw the Confucian scholar named Zou rushing to disturb Mr. Lu, he immediately became panicked. He quickly stepped forward and scolded:

"Zou Yan, please leave quickly and don't disturb Mr. Lu's rest."

"Come on!"

Although I have never seen Mr. Lu's supernatural powers, according to what Hua Dianluo said, this gentleman can split dozens of feet of rocks with one sword. He may have entered the innate realm of martial arts!

Emei Sword Zongshang will try his best to win over such an expert.

If Mr. Zou Yan disturbs your elegance and makes him angry, it will be a serious matter.

Thinking of this, Hall Master Li couldn't help but shudder, and he quickly stepped forward to drive the Confucian scholar away.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw Mr. Lu reaching out and picking up the elixir from Zou Yan's hand.

Hall Master Li's face suddenly looked miserable, and he could only pray secretly in his heart that Mr. Lu would not get angry and would not involve the Sword Sect.

Lu Chenran looked at the orange pill in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.

A strong medicinal fragrance lingers.

He weighed it slightly with his hands and found it was quite heavy.

Under the observation of the inner eye, there is indeed a faint golden light surrounding this elixir. Although it is shallow, it can definitely be regarded as a rare object.

There are a lot of impurities, but the efficacy is only 30% at most.

But it is obvious that Fangdan Road is still in a hazy world, and it is enough to be able to do this!

Lu Chenran placed the elixir on the short table, stood up, smiled gently at Zou Yan, and said:

"I'm Lu Chenran."

"Lu is quite interested in the 'elixir' refined by Mr. Zou. Can you introduce it to Lu?"

"."

Zou Yan originally just followed the attitude of trying again one last time.

He never thought that Hall Master Li's distinguished guest would be really interested in the clay balls he had made. His face suddenly became energetic and he took a deep breath.

Then he found a chair and sat down, waved away the disappointment in his heart, and introduced seriously:

"I've met Mr. Lu."

"The origin of this elixir is extraordinary. Zou had nothing to do and liked to play with some spiritual herbs. However, one morning, the fire in the furnace accidentally spread on these spiritual herbs, and Zou didn't pay attention for a while. "

"When I noticed it, I found that these spiritual grasses had been burned into a pile of grass clippings."

"It was not easy for Zou to get these spiritual herbs. He just rubbed them, and he never thought that he would make such a red ball with a medicinal fragrance on it. This aroused Zou's interest. This I have been studying this for a while.”

"Later, Zou burned the spiritual grass again, but it only burned into a pile of fly ash. Nothing magical happened. Zou thought about it carefully, and finally came up with an idea in his mind. Maybe the reason why this elixir can The reason why the medicinal effect is retained without dissipating is due to the combination of heaven and earth.”

"The furnace is gold, the firewood is wood, the dew is water, the flame is fire, and the earth is earth. It also happens to be at the beginning of the day, when the sun has not risen and the moon has not set. This is the time when yin and yang meet."

"These seven elements are indispensable. Only by mixing these seven elements can the medicinal effect of this spiritual grass be retained to the maximum extent and extracted and condensed. However, the retention of this medicinal effect cannot be achieved by Zou. The current ability can only retain 30% at most, but Zou feels that as long as it is done properly, there must be a way to extract these medicinal effects to 70, 80 or even 90%."

"Zou thought about these seven elements for a long time and named them 'Yin Yang and Five Elements'."

"."

Zou Yan said these words many, many times, so skillfully that he became drunk on them.

Now, it’s just a matter of saying it again.

Lu Chenran stared blankly at the Confucian scholar in front of him.

The shock kept hitting his heart.

Yin Yang and Five Elements?

The way of elixir?

The Yin-Yang Dao advocated by the Yin-Yang family just sprouted in this world?

He took a deep breath, looked at the Confucian scholar with complex meanings in his pupils, and said softly:

"Mr. Zou's remarks are really shocking."

Hearing this Mr. Lu's comments, Zou Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

As expected.

Yes, I am just a Confucian scholar and I should study the way of a saint.

But he just played with the fire, playing with Yin Yang and the Five Elements. These remarks of his were made out of thin air, without any basis, and were a bit shocking.

The path he pursues is, after all, a heretical path that is not understood by the world.

Even though he has a strong heart, it is hard not to be affected by the dense and detailed public opinion.

Zou Yan had a vague idea of ​​giving up in his heart, but he was unwilling to give up. He clearly felt that there was some truth in it, and if he studied it seriously, he would definitely achieve something.

'Should I give up?' '

Zou Yan became more and more confused.

"but--"

The gentle words touched Zou Yan's ears, like a ray of breeze sweeping through his dusty heart.

Zou Yan raised his head blankly and looked at Mr. Lu.

"It is said that many people's opinions make gold, but accumulation of destruction destroys bones. It is also said that three people can become a tiger. Some people say that it is scary."

"But looking at the world, there will always be sages who are not afraid of worldly views and create new roads for the world. The road is long. If you abandon it today, there will be thousands of people in the world who will abandon it tomorrow."

"You know it's impossible but do it. Doesn't this world need people like Mr. Zou?"

"."

A ray of warm sunshine passed through the crane paper window and sprinkled warmly on the floor in the house, leaving a few touches of color.

Although the sound was faint, it was like hammering gold, and the sound exploded in Zou Yan's chest.

Zou talked for a long time, but could not say a word.
