Hard to be a master

On the day of the lottery, Guan Jingxuan did not go with the two apprentices, but stayed in bed alone in the inn.After all, those two are not children anymore, and Guan Jingxuan doesn't need to worry about everything for them. Let them go alone and maybe they can meet some new friends.

On the way up the mountain, Zi Lan asked Shen Ziliu in a sideways manner if he and Guan Jingxuan had any trouble, but Shen Ziliu firmly denied it, and his reaction was suspiciously quick.Zi Lan also knew Shen Ziliu well, knowing that if he didn't want to say that his mouth was tighter than anyone else, then he wouldn't ask any more.

When approaching Feixue Pavilion, Zi Lan suddenly said: "Now that you have remembered that the person you met in Mount Emei was Jiuli, did he mention Master during the conversation? Or did he say something to you?"

Shen Ziliu thought for a while and said, "He never asked me any questions about Master."

Zi Lan glanced at Shen Ziliu, and said, "According to what Master said, Jiuli and him have a bad relationship, and Jiuli and you have never had any intersection, and this time he suddenly appeared in front of you. Worrying about whether he wants to use you is not good for Master."

Shen Ziliu frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Zi Lan paused, and carefully said: "Before Jiuli gave you a divination, you only said that he divination was about your troubles, and you didn't say what the specific divination was. Although I don't know exactly what the trouble is, I think it should be with you. Master is related to... Brother Shen, can you tell us, let's analyze his purpose together? If he uses it to hurt Master, it will be bad."

Shen Ziliu suddenly stopped, and looked at Zilan with cold eyes: "Zilan, listen to me, no matter what anyone tells me, I will never do anything to hurt Master, and I will never let Master Someone hurt him."

Zi Lan was worried, but she couldn't speak out what she knew, and after struggling for a while, she said, "Brother Shen, don't get me wrong, of course I know that you will never do anything bad to Master, but I'm just afraid that you will unknowingly being exploited by..."

Shen Ziliu showed displeasure: "I'm not a three-year-old child. I have my own thinking, can distinguish right from wrong, and won't be led by the nose."

Seeing that she couldn't explain it to him, Zi Lan couldn't say anything more, so she could only secretly decide to be more careful in the future.

When the two arrived at Feixue Pavilion, it was not yet Chen's hour, but many monks from various immortal families had already gathered in the pavilion, except for Song Jian, they didn't know any of them.In his previous life, Zi Lan met quite a few monks outside of Kunlun, but all the people he knew, except one who ascended to immortality, either failed to pass the tribulation and died, or they all entered the stage of crossing the tribulation and were busy preparing for it. Jie was preparing or looking for a way to make his celestial fate perfect, so he didn't have time to participate in any discussion on Shushan.

There are many monks from other immortal families who know each other, and people who greet each other can be seen everywhere.There were also Shen Ziliu and Zilan who were young, handsome and handsome, and they took the initiative to chat and make friends. Both Shen Ziliu and Zilan greeted each other politely and exchanged name cards, without losing their Kunlun demeanor and face.

About a quarter before Chen Shi, a young man with a high ponytail came in at the door.This man is handsome and handsome, with dark patterns embroidered all over his black robe, and the jade pendant around his waist is full of aura, which is extraordinary at first glance.The two attendants behind the young man were also exceptionally beautiful, with their heads held high and their chests held high, unlike ordinary servants.

The young man exuded an air of nobility, with no superfluous expressions on his face, he seemed to be a cold and serious person.However, when he saw Shen Ziliu, all his coldness and seriousness were instantly shattered.

"It's you?!"

The young man's eyes widened, he shouted at Shen Ziliu in surprise, and walked straight towards him.

Zi Lan turned her head and asked Shen Ziliu, "Anyone you know?"

Shen Ziliu looked at the young man rushing over aggressively, frowned and said, "No."

The young man didn't miss the conversation between the two. After rushing in front of Shen Ziliu, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Tunxiang that Shen Ziliu had just resisted the wind and didn't take it back: "Me! Don't you remember? Yangzhou, Cheng Yun, ice silk!"

The other party's three concise words finally brought back Shen Ziliu's memory.The young man in front of him is indeed somewhat similar to the young man he saw when he bought Tunxiang.

Now that the other party came up to say hello, Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan naturally couldn't be rude, both of them declared their families and exchanged name cards.

It turned out that this young man was the third young master of Qilian Villa, named Fang Lianyun, and this time he represented Qilian Villa to participate in the discussion on Taoism in Shushan.When I first met him in Yangzhou a few years ago, he was still in the alchemy stage, but when I saw him today, he has already cultivated to the early stage of Yuanying, and he seems to be a talent for cultivating immortals.

Fang Lianyun sized up Shen Ziliu, then looked at the Tunxiang in his hand, and said, "You've already formed the alchemy, why are you still using this sword?"

Shen Ziliu put away Tunxiang and said: "The spiritual weapon of life has not been forged yet."

Fang Lianyun clicked his tongue twice with regret on his face: "At first, I wanted to compare our natal artifact... By the way, I will show you my natal artifact."

Fang Lianyun took out a soft silver whip while talking, and proudly introduced it to Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan.

Shen Ziliu listened silently, and couldn't help but think to himself, when he bought the sword, he only thought that this person was eccentric and capricious, how could he become such a talkative and foolish person after not seeing him for a few years.

Finally, after Fang Lianyun finished showing off his natal artifact, he suddenly said: "We still owe a competition. It just so happens that we are all in Shushan this time. Find time to learn from each other! If we draw lots later, we can be divided into one group , It would be even better to directly decide the outcome at the Dao Discussion Conference."

His competitive personality is still the same as before.

Shen Ziliu thought.

Unfortunately, the result of the lottery did not match the two together as Fang Lianyun wished, but matched him and Zilan together.And Shen Ziliu's opponent was a young man named Leng Ling, who also seemed to be a son of a family.

Before the lottery was drawn, some Shushan disciples had already announced the rules of the lottery to everyone, and also explained in detail the matters related to the Shushan Discussion. Therefore, after the lottery was drawn and their opponents were confirmed, Shen Ziliu immediately pulled Zilan away in a hurry, lest Being dragged by Fang Lianyun to discuss for a long time, he couldn't get away.

After going down the mountain, the two first went to the mayor's office to ask if the compensation list had been sorted out.It was almost noon when they returned to the inn.When passing the front yard to the garden in the back yard, a young man and woman who seemed to be confronting each other attracted the attention of Shen Ziliu and Zilan.But the reason why they noticed these two people was not because they were curious about what happened between them, but because they were also in the lottery at Feixue Pavilion just now, and that woman was a demon cultivator.

Influenced by Guan Jingxuan, Shen Ziliu didn't have any prejudice against Moxiu, but Moxiu's spiritual power operation, magic roots, and demon spirits were completely different from Xianxiu, which made him feel very novel.Although Shushan has both demon cultivators and immortal cultivators, the number of the two is very different, so he has some impressions of the few demon cultivators he saw during the lottery.

When Shen Ziliu and Zilan passed by, they happened to hear the woman say: "I struggled for several years and finally gave up on him, so you let me listen to this?"

The man's facial features were originally cool and majestic, but at this moment, his eyes were still suppressed with impatience and anger, and his gestures and gestures revealed the aura of "don't get close to strangers".

He was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what you are talking about, and please don't talk nonsense in front of Bo Yang. If you love him, go for him, it has nothing to do with me."

The anger in the woman's eyes was about to burst out when she heard this, Shen Ziliu would not be surprised if she gave the opposite person a sword on the spot.However, the woman didn't move. She took a deep breath to calm down her violently heaving chest, clenched and loosened her hands that were trembling with anger, and then evoked a provocative smile.

"Very well, this is what you said yourself, don't regret it. This time Shushan discusses Taoism, we just made a break."

After speaking, she turned around and left, but after taking two steps, she stopped and turned around.

"Why do you think he agreed to the marriage? Su Ziming, you are the most heartless and stupid person I have ever met."

After scolding the man, the woman left without looking back.And after she turned around, the man's expression flickered, and a trace of complicated emotions climbed up in his indifferent eyes.

Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan, who happened to pass by and saw this scene, exchanged awkward looks, and hurried back to the backyard.

After the two returned to their respective guest rooms and changed their clothes, they went to Guan Jingxuan's room to pay their respects.When Guan Jingxuan went out for a stroll in the morning, he happened to see a vendor selling Qibao fish, so he bought both fish, and went back to the inn to cook a pot of fish soup himself.When Shen Ziliu and Zi Lan came to pay their respects, the fish soup had just been served.

"It smells so good!"

As soon as he walked to the door, Shen Ziliu sniffled and sighed.

Seeing the two apprentices coming in, Guan Jingxuan said with a smile: "It's just in time to come back, come and taste something good."

Shen Ziliu and Zilan took their seats as promised, Guan Jingxuan served them a bowl of fish soup, and said, "I haven't cooked for a long time as a teacher, and the taste is definitely not as good as Xiaoliu's cooking, but this soup is good. Don't be disgusted."

Shen Ziliu sniffed the bowl, took another sip of the soup, and said, "It's delicious, with an indescribably delicious taste. But what kind of fish is this? I don't seem to have seen it before."

Zi Lan drank half a bowl in one breath, a thin layer of sweat dripped from her forehead, she smacked her lips, and said, "Master, is this the Seven Treasure Fish?"

Guan Jingxuan nodded with a smile, and said, "Zilan actually knows."

Shen Ziliu glanced at Zilan, and asked Guan Jingxuan, "What is Qibaoyu?"

Guan Jingxuan said: "The seven-treasure fish is produced in the depths of the East China Sea. It feeds on the spirit larvae in the sea. It is rare and extremely difficult to catch. The eyes, scales, fins, skin, bones, swim bladder and blood of the seven-treasure fish are all It is a very precious material for refining spirit tools, so it is called Qibao fish. And because Qibao fish feeds on spirit larvae, its meat and bones contain very high-purity aura. This aura cannot be directly used by people, but it can be eaten Speeding up the small cycle of spiritual power is of great help to improving cultivation."

Hearing what Guan Jingxuan said, Shen Ziliu also drank half a bowl of fish soup in one go, and he really felt a warm current spreading from his stomach, rushing along the spiritual veins to the limbs, and the spiritual power in his whole body seemed to be activated , accelerate the flow to Dantian.

Guan Jingxuan filled up the soup for the two of them, and said: "Shu Mountain is about to discuss Taoism, and you are a little disadvantaged because you don't have the spiritual weapon of natal life. This soup can just make up for it a little bit. Come, drink another bowl, and then meditate. I will guard it for you as a teacher." .”

Shen Ziliu raised his head and drank the fish soup in the bowl without hesitation, then walked to Guan Jingxuan's bed and sat down cross-legged, concentrating on meditation.

After Zi Lan took the fish soup, she hesitated.

Guan Jingxuan joked, "Even if it doesn't taste good, Zi Lan will save face."

Zi Lan rarely hesitated: "It's not that it tastes bad...it's just the effect of the Seven Treasure Fish..."

Zi Lan's voice became smaller and smaller, Guan Jingxuan couldn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?"

Zi Lan stared at the bowl in her hand for a long time with a tangled expression, then glanced at Guan Jingxuan who was puzzled, and finally said "It's okay", and then drank the soup in the bowl generously.

Before closing her eyes and meditating, Zi Lan thought wryly: Ah Yue, your little apprentice is really capable of tossing people.Does he know that Qibao fish can not only promote the circulation of spiritual power... but also strengthen yang! !
