Two-dimensional rune mark

"No wonder Sister Lingling, you are so powerful, and it is so easy to hunt Baizhang dragon loach." Although Meng Jiao didn't quite understand what Lingling said just now, but after seeing her kill the giant beast with his own eyes, Meng Jiao said with admiration.

"What's so great about me? Master and brother are the masters. Don't you know, my master is already a master at the Nascent Soul Stage of the Earth Vein Realm. Any action is a means of destroying the sky and destroying the earth. Killing a dragon loach counts What?" Lingling said proudly, Master is an invincible existence in her heart.

"What kind of baby are you, Sister Lingling?" Meng Jiao asked again after listening.

"What kind of baby am I? Haha, are you asking me what my cultivation is? Cough, cough," Lingling coughed embarrassingly, and said, "I am only in the middle stage of Gathering Spirituality, among Master's disciples, I It is the lowest cultivation base." After saying that, he looked away embarrassedly.

"Oh, it's useless for me to tell you these things about cultivating immortals, anyway, you can't..." Having said that, Lingling quickly stopped her words, but at this time Meng Jiao's face was full of silence and pain, and Lingling vomited upon seeing this. Sticking out his tongue, he hurried over and pulled Meng Jiao up.

"Come on, Sister Lingling will take you around the island."

Chapter [-] Wenhua Pavilion?

Meng Jiao followed Lingling and strolled on Wenhua Island. The island was very quiet. Occasionally, unknown small beasts appeared in the forest. Between the lush ancient trees, the bluestone path was winding, which made it impossible to see so many trees. The Meng Jiao is fresh.

Passing through a forest, the two came to a four-story pavilion. This building was also built of bluestone. A plaque was hung above the gate. The three ancient characters of Wenhua Pavilion were vigorous and powerful.

"Sister Lingling, is this the Wenhua Pavilion you said?" Meng Jiao asked.

"Isn't it written on it... didn't you see it?" Lingling replied suspiciously.

"I, I don't know how to read. I grew up on the island and never learned to read." Meng Jiao replied with a red face.

"Oh, it's no wonder that the fishermen above the sea can read and read very few, and they don't need it at all."

"Since you don't know how to read, I won't take you in. My master is very interested in all kinds of classics on weekdays, and he often collects them everywhere, so don't underestimate this Wenhua Pavilion. It's much stronger." Lingling said.

"On Wenhua Island, in addition to where I live, there is also a senior brother who is much older than me. He is usually in Wenhua Pavilion, taking care of these books. I will have the opportunity to show you him in the future, but He's a very boring person."

Then Lingling took Meng Jiao around again, and finally walked to a flat field not far from her house, took out an oval wooden plate, and after reading a few formulas, she blew a breath on the wooden plate, and saw the wooden plate. The pan dripped and flew out, and then suddenly lit up with a burst of brilliance, turning into a bamboo house standing in the open space.

Meng Jiao didn't have an overreaction to this scene. The strange things he experienced in the past two days made him a little numb to these visions.

"From now on, this house will be where you live. Take a few days to rest and recover. If you have any questions or questions, come to me. You can rest first."

After speaking, Lingling took out some food and fruit out of thin air and handed it to Meng Jiao, then turned and left.

He took the things and walked into the bamboo house. Meng Jiao squatted heavily on the bed and looked at the bamboo poles arranged on the roof. The experiences of the past few months appeared in his mind, and just like this, he gradually fell asleep. .

In the blink of an eye, Meng Jiao has lived on Wenhua Island for more than a year. Although the scenery on the island remains the same, nothing has changed, but Meng Jiao at this time is very different from a year ago.

After he settled down in the bamboo house, his mood has been very depressed. When he thinks of his future destiny, the confusion that he can't see the way forward confuses him.

Fortunately, nearby Lingling came to see him almost every day. In addition, Meng Jiao was a young man with a tenacious personality who did not give up easily. Gradually, he adjusted the negative emotions and smiled occasionally. on the young man's face.

Although he has no worries about food and clothing on the island, this kind of life is not what Meng Jiao wants. He feels a deep sense of urgency every moment. Master Lingling's words are always in his heart. The veins are crystallized and he cannot practice. , The loss of life essence is like a sword hanging over his head.

"Is there really no way?" Meng Jiao often asked himself looking at the stars in the middle of the night.

Of course, during this year, Meng Jiao was also trying his best to improve herself. Lingling would go out to sea to hunt beasts every once in a while to find various materials, and Meng Jiao went out to sea with her.

Although he was unable to practice cultivation, the tough body, enormous strength, and skin breathing ability he had acquired from swallowing the ground milk were still there, so Meng Jiao could help Lingling more or less in the process of hunting beasts.

And often witnessing and even assisting Lingling to fight against giant beasts, to identify and collect rare materials, has continuously improved Meng Jiao's fighting experience, broadened her horizons, and her whole person has become more mature.

When Meng Jiao followed Lingling into Wenhua Pavilion and saw countless books of immortality, he expressed to Lingling that he hoped to learn literacy. Unexpectedly, Lingling agreed and began to teach him.

Meng Jiao himself is very alert, and with Lingling's careful teaching, after more than half a year, he can roughly understand some books.

From then on, Meng Jiao was like living in Wenhua Pavilion, wandering day and night in the sea of ​​books, rarely returning to the bamboo house.

On this day, Meng Jiao was studying in the hall on the first floor of Wenhua Pavilion as usual. Not far away, Lingling's teacher Wu Yazi was sitting on a mat with his eyes closed. Burnt like nothing.

Chapter [-] Posts

The door was closed again, and Su Yun stood aside, waiting for an echo.Zhuang Xinyan is a friend of Su Yun's master. Su Yun himself has never met her and knows very little about her. She only knows that she is familiar with various herbs and teaches pharmacy.

Not long after, the door was pushed open, and the guard who had just delivered the letter returned to his post. A young woman walking out behind him nodded and smiled at Su Yun, and asked, "You want to see Martial Master Zhuang?"

"Yes, under Su Yun." Su Yun replied.

"Yan Xi, learn pharmacy with Martial Master Zhuang." After introducing himself, Yan Xi, who was in a suit of martial arts, turned around and walked towards the door, "Come with me, Martial Master is waiting for you."

Su Yun followed her into the Shangwu Hall, stepped down the white jade steps, and walked onto a road that was not crowded with five carriages advancing side by side. "Shihuan Dao." Yan Xi smiled, deliberately took a step slowly to walk in parallel with Su Yun, stretched out his white fingers and pointed straight ahead, and said, "With Shihuan Dao as the axis, the left south courtyard and the right north courtyard are specialized in martial arts. Most of the disciples live in the north courtyard, and all the disciples who study medicine, refining, magic, and arranging troops live in the south courtyard.”

Going around the front hall and walking forward for a while, Su Yun came to a courtyard with courtyard walls and guards guarded by guards. The courtyard was planted with flowers and trees, colorful and prosperous.

"Longyuan." Yan Xi kindly introduced to Su Yun, who had just entered Shangwutang, "Before Shangwutang was established as an academy, it was for female family members to live in. Now it is the residence of female martial arts masters and female disciples. The guards guard it day and night, and outsiders stop."

Longyuan is full of flowers and bright red, and the pavilions used for viewing are unique in shape, with carved beams and painted buildings.

A woman in an ink skirt stood leaning against the railing with a scroll in her hand, and the soft wind blew through it like black silk.

She caressed her hair with her hands, and Gu Pan saw Su Yun who was looking at her. Seeing Su Yun staring at her, she was neither ashamed nor annoyed.

Where did Su Yun think that this woman was so bold, she was stunned for a while, then turned her head in embarrassment and looked straight ahead.

Walking to Wuting, the Xianhu Lake dozens of steps away is sparkling with ripples.Su Yun and Yan Xi walked side by side on the grassy tree-lined road. Although they met for the first time, Yan Xi had a cheerful personality, and Su Yun was the same. The two talked and laughed without restraint, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"It turned out to be not to visit relatives and friends, but to enter the hall to practice martial arts, but the selection of apprentices in the Shangwu Hall has ended four days ago. Now I want to enter the hall, I'm afraid it won't be easy." After hearing Su Yun explain the purpose of his visit, Yan Xi said softly. road.

Su Yun frowned slightly, hurrying all the way, but in the end he didn't catch up.

"Don't worry too much. Although Martial Master Zhuang only teaches pharmacy, he is respected by the Hall Master and Martial Masters in Shangwu Hall. If she speaks, things will be much easier."

Hearing this, Su Yundun felt at ease and his brows stretched.If you can't enter the hall, you can only wait for the next time, which is a whole year later, and Su Yun can't wait.

"When Martial Master Zhuang is not teaching, he usually stays in his pharmacy." Yan Xi pointed to a black-tiled and white-walled school in front of him and quickened his pace.

Su Yun followed her into the main school of the South Campus, passed the side hall and the corridor, and finally came to a separate house inside the school. Yan Xi said goodbye with a smile, turned and left to do her homework.

In front of the door, Su Yun adjusted the corners of his clothes, knocked a few times on the wooden door made of walnut, announced his name, waited for a while, and then pushed the door in.

This pharmacy would be bright and spacious if it weren't for the mountains of books and the flowers and plants that were cultivated in mud pots.Su Yun walked inward along the narrow path formed by the wooden table where the books and potted plants were stacked, took a dozen steps, turned her head and looked to the left. The large table against the wall, head down, arms moving, not knowing what to do.

"Martial Master Zhuang?" Su Yun asked softly.

The woman in the gray robe raised her hand and pressed it as a reply to Su Yun, and then continued to concentrate on her work.Su Yun could clearly see that she was wearing leather gloves and holding a small knife with blood dripping from it.

It seemed that a mistake had occurred, and Zhuang Xinyan's head suddenly turned sideways, dodging a string of blood beads that shot upwards. She moved quickly, but her face was still covered in blood.Shaking his head, Zhuang Xinyan put down the special knife in his hand, took off his python leather gloves, and turned to look at Su Yun, who was inexplicably surprised. Seeing Su Yun's strange expression, she moved a few steps to the side so that Su Yun could see clearly things on the table.

A dissected animal.

"When I'm idle, I always find something to pass the time." Zhuang Xinyan said, picked up a white towel, and wiped the blood on his cheek calmly.

Use this kind of thing to pass the time?Su Yun's face was a little abnormal.

"Don't get me wrong, this is not a senseless killing. The data on the body's structure and mechanism will be recorded and sent to a scholar who studies beasts at the Royal Academy. The data will be sorted and turned into knowledge and printed in books."

"The remuneration is very generous, but it doesn't matter to me." Zhuang Xinyan picked up a water cup with dark green liquid, took a sip of the unknown liquid in the cup, crossed his chest with one arm, and tilted his head to examine the fruits of his labor.Before, whether it was work or conversation, Zhuang Xinyan's expression was very calm, and there was no emotion at all, but at this time, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

"If you don't give money, I will do it." Zhuang Xinyan said.

In other words, is it fun?

Su Yun glanced at the bloody animals on the table and shifted his gaze a little uncomfortably. It seemed that in the future, it would be better to keep some distance when getting along with this martial artist with unusual interests.

"You are late."

Chapter [-] pay attention

Zhuang Xinyan retracted her appreciative gaze and turned to look at Su Yun. Her expression returned to a dull expression, and she said, "Without rules, a circle cannot be formed, and Shangwutang attaches more importance to rules than other places. It's a problem."

"It's not intentional overdue." Su Yun prepared to explain with an apologetic face, Zhuang Xinyan shook his head slightly and interrupted: "No need to explain, I don't mean to blame you, I just tell you clearly that Shangwutang has its own rules and wants to It's not an easy thing to go over."

Su Yun nodded, remembering what Yan Xi had said, and sincerely said: "Listen to Senior Sister Yan, you can solve this matter. I don't have enough time and can't wait for a year. Please help me and send me to practice martial arts."

Zhuang Xin took a sip of the dark green water with a strong medicinal fragrance, thought about it, and said, "The problem is not difficult, that is, buy a few bottles of good wine for a thousand taels and give it to the hall master, and use face to deal with a few stubborn old men. , and then intercede with the old woman in charge, endure her cynicism, and then bow down and say thank you."

Su Yun's cheeks twitched, and she gave Zhuang Xin a serious salute, and said, "I'm really bothering you, I can't do anything else, I'll buy the wine." After speaking, Su Yun looked calm on the surface. He was crying and bleeding secretly, and the savings he had accumulated over the years would soon be gone. The savings of more than ten years would be gone in a blink of an eye, gone...

Zhuang Xinyan put down the water glass in his hand and whispered, "I'm not short of money."

Hearing this sentence, Su Yun's whole person became extraordinarily vigorous and full of energy. Just as he was about to express his thanks and promised to return it in full in the future, Zhuang Xinyan turned around and walked around the piles of people. Books, go to the corner of the house.For her, this matter can't even be mentioned as a gesture of effort.

And she didn't want Su Yun to follow the past, so Su Yun naturally stayed where he was. At this time, Rong, who had just woken up, smelled the blood in the air, and came out of Su Yun's clothes in full spirit, identifying the food. After looking in the direction, he bent down and jumped onto the table, and began to eat as if no one else was there.

Su Yun didn't have time to stop it, so he scolded "foodie" and asked softly in embarrassment, "Master Zhuang, is this animal of yours still useful?"

There was a desk and a lot of books between Zhuang Xinyan and Su Yun, and her vision was almost completely blocked. Zhuang Xinyan could not see the scene here, but she could hear tearing and swallowing. She was silent for a moment, her tone uncertain He asked, "Yes, Rong?"

Rong swallowed the meat in his mouth and let out a hoarse and low growl. "I'll take care of it and eat clean." Zhuang Xinyan instructed.Rong raised his head in response, and continued to bury his head in eating, eating even more fiercely.

Fortunately, Zhuang Xinyan knew Rong, otherwise there would be a misunderstanding and he would have to apologize and explain. Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Rong, who was enjoying himself. Come.

Su Yun glared at Rong, expressing dissatisfaction. Out of the corner of his eyes, he swept to a ball of paper on the table, next to the envelope with the clay removed. It was the letter that was given to Zhuang Xinyan by the guard not long ago.Out of curiosity, Su Yun walked over to pick up the ball of paper, smoothed the crease, and after a closer look, he found that it was a drawing paper with a bust of a man waving on it.Su Yun felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. After carefully observing and identifying for a while, Su Yun finally figured out the identity of the person on the portrait, and who wrote the portrait.

Half ashamed, half helpless, Su Yun covered her face and shook her head.Only he would shamelessly paint himself extraordinarily handsome in his self-portrait, so that uninformed people mistakenly think that this is his true appearance, and praise: Fengshen is handsome.

"I'm so sad to be your apprentice." Su Yun sighed in his heart, crumpled the master's portrait into a paper ball, and threw it on the table.

There was a sound of water coming from the corner of the wall. It should be that Zhuang Xinyan was grooming, and just after dissecting an animal, there would always be some filth on his body.Su Yun had nothing to do, so he went to the desk and picked up a book at random. The book was all about herbs. Su Yun put it down and picked up another book, and found that it introduced the toxicity of drugs and the production of poisons. method, some passages are marked and personal experience of making poison.

At the corner of the wall, the sound of the water gradually subsided, and it was replaced by the sound of the rubbing of fabrics. It should be Zhuang Xinyan who had changed his gray robe and was wearing clean and tidy clothes.Even if he couldn't see it at all from this angle, Su Yun turned around and walked to the other side. After taking a few steps, he heard Zhuang Xinyan ask: "If you have strength, it is easier to do things when you enter the hall. What is your current martial arts realm?"

Su Yun's face was slightly stiff, and he told the truth: "wash the marrow."

As if he didn't expect to get such an answer, Zhuang Xinyan was silent, while Su Yun was extremely embarrassed.Washing the marrow, the second realm of martial arts, is not even a real step into martial arts.

"In order to solve the situation of too many disciples, Shangwutang has set a standard for selecting apprentices. Martial students who want to enter the North Academy will only be allowed to enter the North Academy to practice martial arts if they reach the state of expansion. Unfortunately, this rule has been used this year. , All martial students who did not meet the standard, regardless of their status or family background, were all rejected by Shangwutang."

Su Yun's breath was stagnant, and his face was particularly ugly.

"You are in the marrow-washing state, which is one level lower than the minimum standard. If you enter the southern courtyard to learn medicine refining and magic, there will be no problem. The northern courtyard, you can't cross that threshold, even if I come forward to tell you. Love." Zhuang Xinyan walked out of the corner wearing a martial artist's robe.She told the truth that she couldn't do anything about this issue. After all, it was related to Shangwutang's reputation and bottom line, which could not be shaken by her identity and relationship.

Chapter [-] Chain

The two black men locked Mo Yuan with chains, and regardless of his abuse and resistance, they walked straight to Naihe Bridge.Above the Six Paths of Samsara, next to the Naihe Bridge, stands a dilapidated shop.The banner of no wind and automatic, so that the place will not be completely silent.

"Drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, forget about the past, and reincarnate as a human being!" An elderly woman with goose skin was holding a dilapidated pottery bowl in which the yellow soup was imprinted into Mo Yuan's eyes.

"No, I don't want it!" Mo Yuan was surprisingly angry and a little flustered. After drinking it, is that still him?He's going to run away, he's going to run away from here.
