On How the Phoenix Hanged on the Crooked Neck Tree

The sun is shining.

In a piece of land in Fengyundu Lingzhi Garden, the sun was shining brightly.At first glance, the steam is so hot that it seems that even stones can be roasted.

A boy in a coarse bunt is struggling to carry golden spiritual plants in the garden.

If you look carefully, you will find that this circular land is surrounded by emerald stones of different sizes. This is a special low-level spirit stone, which is used to provide energy for the formations in the garden.And just by looking at such strong sunlight, one can know that the formation of this cloth is exactly the Sun Gathering Formation—a formation that collects sunlight.

The golden anode grass radiates heat to the surroundings like a fire. The young man has long been experienced. He carefully wrapped the flowerpot with cotton cloth to prevent himself from being scalded, and then carried the anode grass to the hottest part of the sun in the middle of the formation.

Xiao Qin's sweat dripped down in big drops, but he couldn't concentrate on wiping it off.The anode grass is about to mature. If something goes wrong at this time, all the previous efforts will be in vain.And I definitely don't have any good fruit to eat, the brothers will definitely take the opportunity to punish him...

Xiao Qin warned himself to be peaceful, but he couldn't help but look out of the garden.Three young men in long robes were sitting around a stone table talking and laughing. The thick shade cast by the towering ancient trees covered the sunlight densely, leaving only shade.

"This kid is watching us." One person sneered.

"What are you looking at? Are you finished? It will be noon soon." Noticing Xiao Qin's gaze, another person reprimanded: "The anode grass must be exposed to the sun at noon every day, which is the inspiration for the true disciples. Zhi, can you bear it if something goes wrong?"

"Yes, Senior Brother." Xiao Qin replied, he lowered his head, covering all the emotions in his eyes.

The sun became more and more poisonous, and a large number of anode grass gathered together, emitting heat like a furnace.Xiao Qin felt that his skin was being scorched and would soon be evaporated dry and shrink into a mummified corpse.The foundation-building period brought him a body that was stronger than ordinary people, but it couldn't resist the high temperature for him.He couldn't hold on any longer, shook a few times, and fell to the ground.

In the blur, there was a sound of "Ling—" and "Ling—" in my ears. It was the pleasant sound of the wind blowing the jade and ring pendants colliding together.In the entire Fengyundu, there are many people wearing jade, but there is only one person who is so impressive.

A pair of spotless white boots stepped lightly on the ground in front of them.At the same time, a burst of cool air came over, covering Xiao Qin's whole body, which made him feel disgusted and resisted, but at the same time he had to admit that he was much more comfortable.

In sight, his dirty hands covered with mud were hanging on the edge of the man's clean and neat clothes.

How ironic, how much like the previous scene.

Xiao Qin paused, then raised his head with a complex expression, and saw the playful look in the man's downcast eyes looking at him.

"Little nephew working so hard?"

At this time, the three outer disciples who were sitting at the stone table hurried over to say hello: "See Master Qiao."

"Qiao Yitong." Xiao Qin paused.

"Presumptuous, how dare you call your uncle by his first and last name?" The outer disciple immediately scolded Xiao Qin, "Have you taught us all the usual rules for nothing?"

"Master Uncle is coming to our Lingzhi Garden, why didn't you notify me so that we can prepare?" Another disciple hurriedly said flatteringly to Qiao Yitong.

"It doesn't matter, not everyone has a smart mind," Qiao Yitong smiled, "Besides, you have to do such a big gift just to talk to me. I can already feel the respect that my nephew has for me."

Does that mean he's stupid?Xiao Qin thought angrily.He wanted to get up, so as not to let himself talk to Qiao Yitong in a posture that looked like he was kneeling, but his almost collapsed body couldn't make any effort, and his arms crooked and fell back down.

"Come here." Qiao Yitong motioned to Daotong beside him.

However, Dao Tong Laixi, who was in his early ten years, immediately went to help Xiao Qin, but was thrown away by him: "I will do it myself."

Qiao Yitong raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Xiao Qin stretched out his hand, grabbed the corner of Qiao Yitong's clothes, and managed to stand up.However, Qiao Yitong's originally spotless clothes had a few dirty fingerprints.

Qiao Yitong seemed to have a look of hesitation on that unbeaten face, and his brows frowned slightly.Seeing this, Xiao Qin felt happy, and was about to open his mouth to mock him, when Qiao Yitong pursed his lips and showed a perfect smile like a dummy again.

I don't know who is pretending to be like this all day long?I'm afraid I've gone mad inside.Xiao Qin knew Qiao Yitong's bad nature very well. He knew that although he was young, he loved to pretend to be an elder who was kind to everyone, so he deliberately said: "I'm really sorry, I forgot your cleanliness, and I hope the teacher Uncle forgive me."

Qiao Yitong looked at the hem of his clothes, and nodded reluctantly.

Xiao Qin said coldly: "Uncle, you see that your clothes must be not ordinary, do you want to wash them with the water that has been transformed into Xuanbing for thousands of years?"

"Millennium-Xuan Bing is not necessary." Qiao Yitong said, another Taoist boy beside him, Laixi, brushed the corner of his clothes for him, a silver ripple flashed, and the dusty muddy handprints on it disappeared immediately. "Little nephew also said that clothes are not ordinary, so naturally there is no need to use ordinary water to remove stains."

The three outer disciples next to him looked at the dress with envy.Although the surrounding area is so hot, just by being close to Master Qiao, you can feel a refreshing breeze rushing towards your face. Needless to say, it must be the effect of this dress, which can automatically adjust according to the surrounding environment To the temperature that can make the clothes owner most comfortable.

Fengyundu has always been strictly hierarchical, and the resources are also very different. As a true disciple, Master Qiao Yitong, even ordinary clothes must be magical weapons or even spiritual weapons.

Xiao Qin couldn't see Qiao Yitong's casual showing off, so he gave a disdainful laugh.

"You all go back first." Qiao Yitong waved his hand.

"Yes." The outer disciples left respectfully and gave the pavilion to Qiao Yitong.To guard outside the garden.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Qin asked.

"To be honest, I came to bother my nephew again today because I got a good item and wanted to share it with my nephew." Qiao Yitong sat Shiran on the stone bench wiped by Daotong, and signaled Xiao Qin with his eyes. sit down.

Xiao Qin was sweating profusely and was exhausted, but he didn't want to sit in the gazebo, but looked at Qiao Yitong suspiciously.

"Are you so kind?"

"What are you talking about?" Daotong couldn't help but open his mouth when he went back, "When did my son feel sorry for you?"

"That's right, if you doubt him like this, you have no intentions," Dao Tong Laixi also said, "My lord, if you say that he is like this, is it a common saying in the world, that it is the stomach of a villain? with?"

Qiao Yitong couldn't help but curled his lips into a smile, "That's called 'measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain'."

"Little nephew, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you." Qiao Yitong seemed to realize something, and quickly added to the dark-faced Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin: "..."

Although he felt that Qiao Yitong was scolding him secretly, but in order not to be a villain, Xiao Qin still sat down reluctantly.

Qiao Yitong nodded, and when he returned home, he took out several crystal clear and exquisite containers from the Qiankun bag that he carried with him.

Different items are placed in each container.There are spirit grass, spirit liquid, and black ice...they are all high-grade treasures for cultivation.Xiao Qin couldn't recognize all the things, he only knew that the ice could not be melted into water immediately in the spiritual garden full of anode grass, it must have been condensed thousands of years ago.

——I casually said that he washed his clothes with the water that had been melted from the thousand-year-old black ice, but I didn't expect that he really had black ice.

At this moment, Xiao Qin has an indescribably complex feeling in his heart. He especially remembers the last time he felt this way, he was still a poor child in the world who couldn't eat meat once a year, but he accidentally heard that the royal relatives like to eat chicken meat. It is boiled with pork ribs to make a broth to cook cabbage.

Qiao Yitong didn't know what he was thinking, picked up a few pure heart fruits, put them on the jade plate, the spiritual energy flowed out from his fingertips, and the pure heart fruits broke into small pieces in a short while, and the aroma of the pulp wafted out, which lifted people's spirits .He put the spirit fruit, spirit liquid, auspicious animal milk, herbal tea, spirit grass, and black ice into the bowl in order, and in a short time, he made a tempting fairy delicacy.Among them, the rich aura is even more difficult for practitioners to refuse.

"I saw that mortals often make these 'ice cheese' to eat in the hot weather, and I also tried to make some with different materials. Thinking that you are taking care of Lingzhi now, it must be very hot, so I will take it here to relieve you from the heat." Qiao Yitong signaled Xiao Qinduan to go to the plate of ice cream in front of him.

"The disciple's status is low, and I can't bear it. Uncle Master, I'd better take it back." Xiao Qin refused firmly.

"Although mortals pay attention to their births, but since you and I have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, we are just ordinary people in the world who are trying to cultivate. Why should we think so much?" Qiao Yitong said, "What's more, cultivators pay attention to comprehension, chance and hard work are inseparable. Spiritual energy is in the front, which is beneficial to your practice. Many people are envious and can't come. Is there any reason for you to abandon it?"

As if to confirm Qiao Yitong's words, the three outer disciples guarding the door at the moment could feel the abundant aura in the air from a distance, and they all took a deep breath. A layer of jealousy.

Xiao Qin looked at Qiao Yitong strangely. In fact, what Qiao Yitong said just now was in line with his inner point of view. If someone else said it, he would definitely make him a confidant. Qiao Yitong, the proud son of Zhizhi, said it was very nondescript.

Could he be poisoned?Xiao Qin couldn't help but feel like a villain again. In fact, it's not his fault that he was guarded. It was because Qiao Yitong didn't know what was wrong with him, and always used a harmless face to trick him. He was afraid of being deceived, so he had to beware.

Seeing his hesitation, Qiao Yitong laughed lightly, propped his chin with his left hand, took the jade spoon first, took a mouthful of ice cream and put it in his mouth, swallowed it and said, "Since the poison won't kill me, I guess it won't do you any harm. Hurt."

Xiao Qin's mouth was always parched, and his seven orifices were so hot that smoke rose up. Seeing that Qiao Yitong had already done this, he stopped coddling it and started to eat ice cream.

The cool and refreshing sorbet has the unique sweet and sour taste of pure heart fruit, and the light herbal flavor brought by the raw cool grass dotted in it makes it not too sweet and greasy. When swallowing, there is still milk on the tip of the tongue Fragrant and mellow, it is memorable.Even better, Xiao Qin discovered that this ice cream contained sufficient aura, rich but not overbearing. For a low-level monk like him, it was a good product for cultivation, comparable to a high-grade Zhuyuan Dan.

And Zhuyuan Pill is extremely precious, outer disciples like them can only receive three low-grade Zhuyuan Pills in a month.

After realizing this, Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment, put down the jade spoon and said, "I am not in favor of you."

"What's the meaning of this?" Qiao Yitong asked curiously, "You tasted it and didn't like it, so you don't want to eat it? Anyway, give me some face and finish it."

Xiao Qin knew that Qiao Yitong had started to talk nonsense in a serious manner again, so he didn't argue with him, "You and I have no relatives and no reason, I am neither your someone nor have I done anything for you, I can't afford such a precious thing like you .”

The world of comprehension pays attention to cause and effect, and everything you do now may be reflected in your fate in the future, so cultivators also pay attention to receiving rewards for no merit.

"Who says you're not mine anymore?" Qiao Yitong said with a smile, "You are my best friend in the future."

Qiao Yitong said, stood up and walked around behind Xiao Qin, putting his hands on him.You have to admit that there are people in this world who carry a kind of nobility. Qiao Yitong does this kind of action that looks dandy on others, and he is still the same handsome young man, a good son in troubled times.

Xiao Qin looked at him inexplicably.

"To be honest, I came here today just to 'turn hostility into friendship' with you," Qiao Yitong said, "It was my fault that I teased you three or two times before, and I, Qiao Yitong, am still here to accompany you. Junior nephew, don't worry about it."

Xiao Qin looked at Qiao Yitong's face in shock, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Is this person really...repentant?

"Don't you have anything to say?" Qiao Yitong's slightly sad voice rang in his ears, and he brushed Xiao Qin's earlobe with heat, "I don't think my nephew plans to reconcile with me, or he won't do it anyway." Did you eat the ice cream I specially made for you?"

"I, I didn't..." Xiao Qin was at a loss, and quickly picked up the jade spoon, "I'll just eat it, and you can speak carefully, don't come so close to me!"

A man can afford to let go, since Qiao Yitong is so sincere this time, it is not so difficult to forgive him.

After hearing this, Qiao Yitong sat back in his seat and asked, "Young nephew, does this mean you agreed to reconcile?"

"...Well." Xiao Qin responded, and then asked in doubt, "Is it important to you whether you reconcile with me or not? I really don't understand you."

"Of course it's different. I couldn't find a few people to talk to in this huge Fengyundu. Now that you're here, I feel that life is much more interesting. The feeling of talking with a bosom friend is different."

"Hey, don't be so gross..." Xiao Qin couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Qiao Yitong couldn't help lowering his eyebrows and smiling, a little cinnabar flashed between his brows.Only then did Xiao Qin realize that Qiao Yitong was not as ugly as before.When he wasn't bad, even that cinnabar didn't look as good as it used to be.

However, in the whole Fengyundu, the one who thinks Qiao Yitong is ugly may be Xiao Qin who has a feud with Qiao Yitong alone.

"That... Qiao Yitong," Xiao Qin tentatively said, "Then since we are brothers now, can you stop calling me nephew?"

"No, little nephew." Qiao Yitong said.

"You! Why? Even though you are younger than me, I still call you uncle?"

"Fengyundu has strict seniority, and it's not like you don't know it. Now you don't call me uncle, and you will be punished just for this. I call you nephew to protect you, right?" Qiao Yitong said innocently , After finishing speaking, he added a superfluous sentence, "Little Martial Nephew."

Xiao Qin: "..."

Now he began to suspect Qiao Yitong's sinister intentions.This guy must be teasing him again!

No matter what, Qiao Yitong got along with him happily this time.Xiao Qin and Qiao Yitong talked about some mortal things, but Qiao Yitong listened with gusto.Very interested in the life of that mortal.Xiao Qin laughed in his heart that his young master didn't know the sufferings of the world, but he didn't taunt him face to face.

After one or two hours, Qiao Yitong was finally sent away.Xiao Qin tidied up and went back to the field where the anode grass was planted. He wanted to continue to take good care of them.However, in the garden, the originally golden anode grass withered in large swaths, turning into a dull gray-black.It was as if the sun went out one by one.Xiao Qin's heart was shocked, and the tool in his hand fell to the ground.

He hurried into the garden and inspected it carefully, but the anode grass withered like this, there is no hope of surviving again!

"How could this be?" Xiao Qin couldn't believe it.He didn't care about anything else, he picked up a pot of anode grass and came to the three outer disciples.

"Brother? How did this happen?! Why did I not take care of them for a while, and the grasses all withered?" Xiao Qin asked anxiously.

Miao Deng glanced at him impatiently, and said, "What else can I do? Let's grow cool grass."

"What grows cool grass?"

"It's a big fuss. I really don't know why Uncle Qiao is so fond of you," Miaota said, "It's just the fairy medicine that Uncle Qiao and you took just now, which contains fresh herbs."

Xiao Qin froze in place for a moment.

"You mean... the cool grass is the reason for the withering of the anode grass, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Miao Deng said impatiently, "I really haven't seen the world before, don't you understand that cool grass and anode grass are mutually exclusive?"

"He did it on purpose..." Xiao Qin murmured, lost his mind.

"Nonsense, of course Master Qiao did it on purpose." Miao Deng said.

I believed him again, but...he lied to me again!Xiao Qin laughed back in anger, clenched his teeth, and walked into Lingzhi Garden without looking back while holding the Yangyangcao.

Qiao Yitong, I will never trust you again.
