Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 204 The suitable one is the best
After sending Bian Qiuyan and Boss Qi away, Xu Yuanchang talked with Zeng Shanlang behind closed doors for half an hour. Since he decided to participate, he must go all out. When the painstaking journey is over, regardless of whether Zeng Shanlang passed the examination or not, he promised to accept Zeng Shanlang. Shan Lang is his disciple.

Taoting students originally came from various countries in Dingzhou, and there was no taboo on how many masters the students worshiped.

Zeng Wanglou made it clear that he would not take away the descendants of the bloodline and despised them being a burden.

Seeing the young man running out happily, Xu Yuanchang was a little troubled. Apart from basic exercises and spells, he didn't know how to teach this destined founding disciple?

Walking into the lush green woods in the south of the valley, the heat suddenly disappears, as if you have entered another world.

Sitting across from the old ghost who appeared in the tree pavilion, he clasped his fists and asked for advice on the Taoist Pavilion's painstaking road assessment. Senior Chang had sent a message to him before, saying that he could teach him some experience of the painstaking road.

"The Road of Pain is also known as the 'Road of Asceticism'. I have walked it before, but I participated in the 'Buchangshan' military assessment. In the assessment of each family's ancestral holy place, the ascetic road in the early stage is similar. The main purpose is 'to practice hard, to practice hard'." Observe the mind', this is also the most elusive step."

Chang Wuhui seemed to be lost in long-lasting memories. He was silent for a long time, and then said:

"Don't think that you are just an escort. You are also a member of the assessment team. However, the assessment requirements for you are different from those of Taoist boys. If you follow your own heart and follow the path of asceticism, you may be able to get an unexpected reward. award."

Xu Yuanchang was surprised when he heard this.

It was so unexpected that he was actually the one being assessed.

Chang Wuhui, as a senior who has seen through the world, reminded: "Dingzhou Xiyuan Ancestral Holy Land has had such rules for thousands of years, but those who know will not disclose it to the outside world. In addition, after completing the painstaking journey, if you fail, For the Daoting assessment, you can go to other ancestral halls to take a look and try your luck.

"'Bitter Heart Road' is the most basic pass. If you go there boldly, you can apply to participate in the assessment of other Ancestral Holy Lands. Be careful not to let the little tree charm show up. There are many places in the Ancestral Holy Land that do not welcome foreigners to enter."

He admired Xu Xiaozi's loyalty. For Xiao Shumei's sake, he once said, "I'll hold on to it for another three hundred years." Of course, his reminder was also selfish.

Xu Yuanchang clasped his fists in gratitude for being able to get so many secrets in advance.

He has enough time to adjust his future arrangements.

Senior Chang helped him in this way and wanted him to spend more energy looking for the descendants of the Chang family in Zhushan in the future. Both parties had a tacit understanding and there was no need to make the words explicit.

After chatting for a long time, we returned from the south valley to the mid-level courtyard.

Xu Yuanchang considered his words and used a Wanli communication talisman to send a message to Elder Mei who was far away in the capital.

It would take at least a year to get to Xiyuan's ancestral court. He wanted to ask Elder Mei to help introduce a fourth-level golden elixir doctor who was proficient in the regeneration of broken limbs, but Liu Xianfeng's wish to help Yuan Bao recover was granted.

The wealth he earned was half of Liu Xianfeng's, and there was no distinction between the two.

When it was getting dark, I received a reply from Elder Mei.

Elder Mei was as enthusiastic about him as ever, and had already helped him contact Dr. He Biren at Linfeng Temple in Suiyang County, asking him to take the yellow dog directly to Linfeng Temple tomorrow to discuss the follow-up fees with Dr. He. He would not charge him too much, etc. .

Xu Yuanchang quickly replied to Elder Mei and said some polite words of thanks. He also summoned Liu Xianfeng and asked her to return overnight with Yuan Bao.

Senior Chang had already seen through his little idea of ​​arranging for Xiao Shumei to go out and never come back.

There is another level of transactional relationship between the two of them, and there is no need to hide and act like a villain anymore.

Early the next morning, Xu Yuanchang followed the route he had found in advance and went north around the Xianqiao Mountain area. Liu Xianfeng used magic to fly with Yuanbao. They were in a hurry and could not run on the ground. They passed through Yongchuan County and arrived at early noon. Go to Linfeng Temple at the northwest end of Suiyang County.

Linfengguan is a first-class sect force in the Daning Dynasty, covering an area of ​​about seventy or eighty miles.

The mountains are stretched, ancient trees are green, and the palaces and pavilions are hidden. The mountain guarding formations flow with an ethereal and mysterious atmosphere, turning into white mist clouds of different shades, surrounding the tops of several high mountains.

Xu Yuanchang led Liu Xianfeng and Yuanbao to land in front of the mottled ancient mountain gate archway. He stepped forward to show his identity card to the Taoist priest on duty and explained his intention. Without any trouble, one of the Taoist priests guided him to fly more than 30 miles at a low altitude and arrived at an archway. The plaque is halfway up the mountain of "Xianzhi Ridge".

Then another Sanzhonglou Taoist led them to the top of the mountain. After the announcement, the group walked into the side hall of Xianzhi Hall.

The room was filled with the elegant fragrance of medicine, and a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing linen robes came out from behind the desk.

Xu Yuanchang stepped forward and saluted: "Junior Xu Yuanchang, I would like to pay my respects to senior He and disturb his peace."

He Biren stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be polite. Brother Mei sent me a message and asked me to take action. He said that Xu Xiaoyou was his chess friend for many years. This face must be given. Let me take a look at the demon dog's injury first. ”

Xu Yuanchang said a few polite words and asked Yuan Bao to lie down on a stone platform designated by Dr. He.

He Biren stretched out his fingers to explore the yellow dog's broken limbs, back, and abdomen for a long time, nodded, and said: "It's a little troublesome. The monks from the Sanzhonglou used ice-cold magic to damage its meridians. It's not difficult to regenerate the broken limbs. If you want to repair it, The demon dog's meridians and nose's sense of smell were damaged two years ago, so it will take a lot of time, and the effect may not be satisfactory. "

Liu Xianfeng was overjoyed and bowed in salute: "Senior He, please do me a favor."

He Biren looked at Xiao Shumei, gave him some help, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I'll do my best to treat him."

Xu Yuanchang often goes out to help his neighbors slay evil spirits and catch ghosts. He knows that words are never enough and he said: "Senior He, I wonder how long this treatment will take and how much will it cost?"

"The treatment before and after is divided into two stages. It takes almost a month. I only charge 20,000 spirit coins, but I have a small condition."

"Senior He, please tell me."

"Fairy Liu is a tree spirit who is born with the ability to communicate with spiritual plants. I have a few rare elixirs, but their growth is not as good as expected. Please ask Fairy Liu to help me take care of them. It's a mutual help. How about that?"

He Biren politely stated his conditions.

He didn't dare to have Liu Xianfeng's idea.

I was quite surprised when I received a message from my old friend Mei Yuanjian yesterday. Who is Xu Yuanchang?

He concentrates on spiritual practice and medicine and does not actively pay attention to the news happening in various places.

He specially asked his disciples to find the information about Xu Yuanchang collected by the sect. If he didn't know it, he would be shocked when he saw it.

No wonder Mei Yuanjian, who has matured into a mature man, wants to help. Xu Yuanchang, who was born in poverty and grew up in the countryside, has a close relationship with Yu Fengwu. It is said that he is favored by Deputy Master Meng of Sitian Palace. He has achieved three levels of achievements at a young age.

Young heroes like this should be made friends with but not offended.

Liu Xianfeng wholeheartedly agreed. Her help could offset the treatment cost of at least 10,000 spirit coins, which was a great deal.

After receiving the message from the young master, he said: "I agree to your conditions, Senior He, but I can't stay here for too long, a month at most."

He Biren smiled and nodded, and immediately called the disciples waiting outside the door to come in and help the two guests arrange a residence yard halfway up the mountain. From now on, the guests can go up the mountain every day to visit the demon dog receiving treatment, etc.

Xu Yuanchang lived in Xianzhiling for half a month. Seeing Yuanbao's severed limb completely regenerated and restored, he said goodbye and left.

He has informed Elder Mei of the situation.

Elder Mei reassured him that Liu Xianfeng would be safe in Xianzhiling.

Fly to Qingping City, first go to the Mengchang Courtyard of the Taoist Palace, and collect a customized set of flying knives and long swords. Then go to Baijisi Treasure Shop to help Zeng Shanlang choose a magic weapon long sword and a long sword. For protective inner armor, I sold most of the second-level talismans I drew and bought a few second-level earth crystals.

In the next few days, I will refining the magic weapon and go to the second floor of Juyi Hall or the Academy Library to select and read books about Kuxin Road and the Holy Land of Xiyuan Ancestral Court. Before leaving, I must learn more about it.

He returned to Bailin Valley three days in advance and handed the sword, protective inner armor and two storage bags to Zeng Shanlang. He gave instructions on how to perform sacrifices and asked the young man to prepare all the items he needed on the road.

Xu Yuanchang walked into the Nangu forest alone, chatted with Chang Wuhui for a while, then walked into the cave, and walked out of the forest two days later.

He has learned how to enter the Nine Fantasy Palace, release the magic stones and earth crystals on his body with hand techniques, and can roughly control the lightning on the soul-locking chain. With Zeng Wanglou's action, he can drive the Nine Fantasy Cauldron into the ground to eliminate traces of hidden dangers. On Zhongyuan Day, the autumn rain fell lightly.

Xu Yuanchang held an oilcloth umbrella and carried a bamboo box on his back, waving to the snow particles sent out of the mountain gate.

Zeng Shanlang and Zeng Shanlang, who also carried an umbrella and carried a bamboo box, passed through Qingshi Town in tandem, without stopping, and continued westward.

Xu Yuanchang compared the Kan map and calculated based on Zeng Shanlang's foot strength, he planned to climb mountains and wade for about 200 to 300 miles every day, starting in the morning and resting at the end of the afternoon, leaving a lot of room.

The section of the Infinite Mountains is about 8,000 miles long, but there are many dangerous places. I don’t know if I have to go around for thousands more miles?
Or being delayed on the road is hard to say.

It's easy to walk in Daning, if you happen to be in a barren mountain wilderness with no villages or shops in front of you.

Xu Yuanchang took out the two cowhide and oilcloth tents he carried and chose a location to set up the camp.

Zeng Shanlang searched for water sources, dug wild vegetables, and buried pots to cook meat and rice. In the words of the Taoist priest, it is the time when the body is growing, so do not use dry food to deal with it. Taking good care of yourself is also practice.

Practice breathing while rushing, stop to finish meals, and have arrangements for each homework.

Boxing, sword practice, knife throwing practice, basic spells and reading.

At the beginning of practice, it is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Unknowingly, they have been walking for seven days, and today they have to spend the night in the wilderness again. Xu Yuanchang chose a slope, and Zeng Shanlang quickly cut trees and made stakes to set up camp. He asked the Taoist priest to rest in a high place. Wrapped round.

Xu Yuanchang placed the bamboo box under the shade of a tree and chatted with Chang Wuhui, who was hidden in a big black umbrella in the box.

"On the fifth day of your departure, the Sanzhonglou monk who secretly monitored Zeng Shanlang did not appear again. It was inconvenient for old man Zeng to go out, so he asked me to send a message. He had been observing the little guy for a while and found that Zeng Shanlang was more suitable for learning the secrets of martial arts. , I left a jade slip, and I want you to teach it on my behalf. Please don’t misunderstand me. It’s not that you didn’t teach well, it’s that the kid’s talent was biased.”

"It's a good thing. I'm worried about how to teach Zeng Shanlang?"

Xu Yuanchang glanced at the busy young man below.

He was reassured about the young man's character and mind. He did not expect that Zeng Shanlang was suitable for learning martial arts, which is a type of physical training. The voice transmission asked: "The 'Ascension to Immortal Breathing Technique' I taught him will cause obstacles. It needs to be Re-cultivation of San Gong?”

They are currently undergoing painstaking training and it is inconvenient to practice San Gong again.

Chang Wuhui replied: "Old man Zeng said that it is based on Taoist mental methods, so there will be no hindrance. The 'Xuan Ji Technique' he left behind includes boxing, body skills and sword skills. You can take out the jade slips later. After infusing the little guy with the exercises, Old Man Zeng will spend three nights helping the little guy adjust his body without even noticing. "

Xu Yuanchang opened the bamboo box and took out two jade slips.

One of them is reserved for Zeng Shanlang to use for his training, and the other one is given to him.

I used my spiritual consciousness to check the content of the "Spiral Pole Technique" left on the jade slip. It is a complete martial arts secret method. Through communication with Chang Wuhui through sound transmission, I learned that eight hundred years ago, the Spin Pole Technique was not too rare. , but there is one difficulty. It is not easy to get started with physical cultivation, and it takes a lot of time to take root.

But Zeng Wanglou did not hesitate to waste his own energy to help the little guy, and the road ahead will be walked by Zeng Shanlang himself.

After dinner, the sun was still high.

Half an hour later, Xu Yuanchang called to the young man who was practicing boxing, took out the jade slip to teach the martial arts, and casually made up a reason to ask the boy to practice the "Pole Spin Technique" recorded on the jade slip in the future, and explain some things to pay attention to when practicing the martial arts.

Zeng Shanlang took the jade slip with both hands and put it on his forehead as Taoist Master Xu said, calmly.

All kinds of magical pictures and texts were poured into his mind.

Xu Yuanchang waited for about a quarter of an hour. When he saw that the young man's face turned pale and his head was dizzy after the exercises were completed, he told the young man to go to the tent to sleep and rest. He took out the book and read it.

Since he advanced to the Qi Transformation Realm, all the remaining bans on the Green Dragon Shengmu Technique have been eliminated, and he has been able to learn the subsequent parts.

At night, Xu Yuanchang took out eight ghost beans and cast them into soldiers.

He practiced the formation of troops according to the "Puppet Soldier Combination Technique".

His current level of cultivation and consciousness can control twenty-two bean soldiers at the same time, but any more will be beyond his power.

The next morning, Zeng Shanlang was in pain all over his body and looked very bad. He was so frightened that he thought he had gone crazy. He stood up and found the Taoist priest who was practicing flying knives in the forest. After the Taoist priest stopped, he told him about his situation.

Xu Yuanchang understood what was going on and asked Zeng Shanlang to relax and meditate for an hour.

He personally guarded the law to calm the young man's emotions.

This will be the case for the next two days, but meditating for an hour every morning can minimize the pain.

Xu Yuanchang instructs young people to practice the basic boxing frame of "Xuan Ji Shu", starting from "Unity Guarding", circling and sliding his hands like two doors, looking for and understanding the "Xuan Ji Jin".

Xu Yuanchang himself has never practiced the "Swinging Pole Technique". He just copied what senior Chang said.

After walking for another four days as planned, we were less than half a day away from our first destination, Ganlin Town.

The night is dark, the mountains are high and the forests are dense.

Xu Yuanchang talked to Chang Wuhui, who was holding a big black umbrella, and Zeng Wanglou, who was hiding in the umbrella. Zeng Shanlang had already been "drowned" into sleep.

Chang Wuhui sent out a jade knife, which was the same as Xu Yuanchang's flying knives, and said: "This 'soul-destroying knife' is a one-time magic weapon refined by Old Man Zeng. If used skillfully, it can kill the fourth floor." Early cultivator, keep it for self-defense after the sacrifice, and be sure not to use it in Daning."

Xu Yuanchang took the jade sword with both hands and thanked him. He understood that it was Zeng Wanglou's reward for asking him to take care of Zeng Shanlang.

After talking for a while, Xu Yuanchang cupped his fists and said goodbye: "Two seniors, please cherish the future!"

Chang Wuhui smiled freely: "Waiting for our good news, let's go."

Zeng Wanglou said: "Take care, little friend! See you again if we are destined."

They were already on the outskirts of the Infinite Mountains, far away from the capital of the Daning Dynasty, and no longer worried about being exposed.

However, before arranging the ambush to kill Jiang Yan, they did not want to attract other people's attention, so they had to be careful and secretive.

Having escaped from the cage, it was time for the two of them to work together to fulfill their agreement and obtain a generous amount of resources, and then part ways.

Gods and ghosts have different paths, and they are not the same people after all.

Xu Yuanchang watched the black shadow disappear into the night, feeling inexplicably relaxed.

A few days ago, I received a message from Hei Xiayi, saying that Qianmian had made a breakthrough and was promoted, but it still needed time to stabilize his cultivation.

He believed that with the watertight calculations of the two old seniors, within half a month, they would be able to do something major that would shock the entire Dingzhou.

At that time, he and Zeng Shanlang had already gone deep into the Infinite Mountains.

Right and wrong are far away, and the dust is too long.
