practice fundamentals

……

Tian Xun lowered his head slightly, with a hesitant expression on his face.

There was an imperceptible cunning in his eyes.If Yi Xuanqing could see his eyes clearly, he would definitely know that this little beggar was planning something bad.

It's a pity that Yi Xuanqing didn't realize that he had fallen into his own thoughts.

Although he was looking at Tian Xun, he saw his future through Tian Xun.

he thinks……

Could it be that he would really be compared to this kind of wild boy?Yi Xuanqing thought unwillingly, the originally pure heart also aroused undue jealousy.That's right, it's just jealousy. Why would I be compared to this so-called man of destiny?

It is precisely because of the existence of Tian Xun that Master does not pay enough attention to him.I always think about this apprentice who will stand at the top.

After thinking about it, why did he care about this with a child.Moreover, he was a poor child who grew up as a beggar.

What Yi Xuanqing didn't know was that this weak-looking little beggar had been a little liar since he was sensible, and his deceit skills were superb, and he rarely missed.

Life is much more comfortable than he thought.

"Don't you want to?" Yi Xuanqing didn't believe that Tian Xun would not be tempted. You must know how lucky it is to meet someone who is destined for Dao.No one will not be tempted by this rare opportunity.What's more, he was still a beggar who didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes.

Thinking of this, he frowned and looked at Tian Xun's good quality room. The quilt covered by the blue cotton quilt cover was clean, not even a single patch.There is also a faint scent of soap locust in the room.

A strange feeling rose in his heart.

Tian Xun also noticed Yi Xuanqing's eyes, and said with a little timidity: "To tell the truth, I have become a family member with the people here. I can't abandon them and leave alone."

He then said cautiously: "Actually... as long as the Taoist priest can help them solve their problems in life, I am still willing to follow the Taoist priest up the mountain." After speaking, a red cloud flew over his cheeks.

It seems very shy.

"How to solve it?" Yi Xuanqing asked.

Tian Xun showed embarrassment, and he hesitated: "Just give me some bank notes..."

"How many?"

"200 taels, isn't it too much?"

"Too many, you're dreaming." Yi Xuanqing said bluntly.

Tian Xun was silent for a while, the expression on his face gradually disappeared, and he said with a straight face: "How can you do this, you are a Taoist priest. You can't refuse me casually." Seriously educated Yi Xuanqing like a little adult.

"To save others first, to save yourself." He didn't care if Tian Xun understood, he changed the subject and asked, "You must have money to come with me?"

Tian Xun suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, yes~ that's it." His attitude was very unserious, there was still a bit of softness and weakness before, and the whole person showed his sharpness.

Yi Xuanqing twitched the corner of his mouth in a rare way: "Too many."

Tian Xun sighed, and replied: "Forget it, let's reduce it to 100 taels. This money should be enough for them to live a carefree life."

Yi Xuanqing silently pushed out the sword at his waist with his thumb, 100 taels... 100 taels is enough for this group of beggars to eat and drink for two lifetimes.

Seeing Yi Xuanqing's slow and dangerous movements, Tian Xun hurriedly said, "Wait! Listen to me."

"Is this the sincerity of your school's acceptance of apprentices? I just made a reasonable request. Do I really want me to abandon them and go up to the mountain to practice by myself regardless of their life or death? Is this still practice? I am so ruthless. Can it become true cultivation?" Tian Xun said a lot without breathing.

Yi Xuanqing stopped his movements and listened quietly.

"Besides, there is no reason to force people to become Taoist priests, do you think so? Taoist priest." Tian Xun saw that his words had an effect, and immediately stretched out his index finger to slowly push away the back of the sword leaning on the back of his neck.

He still had an unscrupulous smile on his face, as if he was not afraid of anything.

Yi Xuanqing stiffly let Tian Xun push his sword away, and with a flip of his wrist, the sword returned to its sheath.

I had to admit that what Tian Xun said was very reasonable, so Yi Xuanqing couldn't find the fault.

But asking for 100 taels is indeed too greedy.

Tian Xun actually saw Yi Xuanqing's thoughts from those dark eyes, he just felt that he was greedy, he raised his eyebrows and said: "100 taels, buy me for a lifetime, isn't it worth it?"

Yi Xuanqing looked down at the somewhat short boy, and saw firmness in the other's eyes.

When he turned to leave, he only left one sentence: "I will pick you up soon."

Tian Xun watched Yi Xuanqing's leaving back, and burst out laughing when Yi Xuanqing's back disappeared completely.It seemed a little childish, but he was really happy that he had successfully played tricks on this stinky Taoist priest.

He didn't think that Yi Xuanqing had the ability to bring so much money, and the other party even boasted that he would come to pick him up soon, who would believe it?

Now this stinky Taoist priest must have tried his best to raise money, and he must have suffered some hardships.

He wanted to see the shameful appearance of this stinky Taoist priest after he failed, and he didn't know how he would react...

And when Tian Xun was enjoying himself, Yi Xuanqing was really busy.

Dingxianguan has no money, so he can't find the master, so he can only rely on himself. Although 100 taels is not a small number, it is not impossible for him to do it.

Yi Xuanqing first used the earth escape technique, and quickly reached the capital after consuming a lot of mana.

In Yi Xuanqing's opinion, the capital city should be the best place to find money, so he decided to come here to do a ritual, and the reward of 100 taels should be in hand.

Master has taught you not to use spells lightly, but now is a special situation, so Master should be able to understand it.It is impossible for him to really ignore those little beggars, and it is even more impossible for him to force Tian Xun back.

So he stopped hesitating, took out his compass, and headed towards the mansion with the heaviest yin.

Turning left and right following the compass, it stopped at the door of a magnificent house.Yi Xuanqing stared at the plaque on the gate, on which were engraved with three golden characters - Prince Ning's Mansion.

Yi Xuanqing put the compass back into his bag, walked firmly and knocked on the gate of the palace.

Boom boom boom!There was a regular knock on the door.

The doorman lazily opened the door, the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious.He was out of spirits and in a bad mood.Seeing Yi Xuanqing wearing Taoist robes was no surprise, and he didn't show any respect at all.Facing Yi Xuanqing, he said: "What are you here for? Come to cheat for food and drink, please come back. I've seen a lot of you looking for the gods of the upper house like this, please come back." After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door.

The prince has ordered that these people are not allowed to enter the door again.

Yi Xuanqing drew his sword very quickly, pointed the tip of the sword at the boy's throat, and said expressionlessly: "Now, take me in. Your lord is still alive, don't get in the way."

"I... my lord, Ben, was... saved." The boy said tremblingly, but because of his fear, he still agreed to lead Yi Xuanqing over.

Seeing that the boy was obedient, Yi Xuanqing withdrew his sword, and was led by the boy to King Ning's bedroom.

Yi Xuanqing observed the strangeness of the courtyard while walking, and found that the palace was full of thick black air, filling every corner.But the boy who led the way didn't feel anything at all, except for his poor energy, there was nothing unusual about it.

"Don't you feel cold?" Yi Xuanqing asked the servant.

The boy said with a showy expression: "Where is it cold? You are in poor health." Yi Xuanqing was speechless for a moment, and continued to ask with a blank expression: "How long has this palace been built?"

"It didn't take long. It was just over two years after the prince sealed the king and moved out of the palace. You don't even know this?" The boy looked at Yi Xuanqing with a look of a country bumpkin. This kind of news is well known.

Yi Xuanqing can also see that this mansion is a Yang mansion with an excellent location, the placement and shape of the flowers and plants are carefully designed, there is no problem.But there are too few servants of such a large palace, and... what's the matter with this black air?Even Yi Xuanqing couldn't see the source of the black energy,

After going through the winding corridors, finally——

"Here we are." The servant brought Yi Xuanqing to a stop outside the door of a room.Just then, a doctor happened to come out of it.

The doctor left in a hurry with the medicine box on his face, without even noticing the two people standing outside the door.

Yi Xuanqing vaguely heard the doctor say something in a low voice—it's strange, there is no abnormality in the body, but it looks like exhaustion, medicine and stones have no cure.

Yi Xuanqing unceremoniously opened the door and stepped into the room, leaving the shocked boy outside the door.

Sure enough, the room was the dying King Ning.He was lying on a luxurious bed, exuding the breath of the dead.But the slight breathing sound revealed the fact that he was still alive.

And the weirdest thing was his face, the originally elegant face was covered with blue and black veins, which densely covered the skin of his face.

Yi Xuanqing looked at King Ning's neck, it seemed that it spread from his body to his cheeks, and it was probably covered all over his body.

Hearing the voice, King Ning opened his eyes weakly to look at Yi Xuanqing, and stared at Yi Xuanqing for a while before successfully focusing his blurred vision.Seeing Yi Xuanqing's attire clearly, he said weakly, "It's a Taoist again...you go, I'm not bewitched by evil spirits, please leave quickly."

Yi Xuanqing heard the words, looked at King Ning's strange face, and said calmly: "Why does the lord know that there is no evil?" Yi Xuanqing paused, approached King Ning, and took out a piece of bronze Taiji gossip from the bag he was carrying. mirror.

The origin of this bronze mirror is not simple, it is a good magic weapon.The so-called: the old man of all things, his essence, can remember the shape of people and confuse people, but he can't change the true shape in the mirror (Baopuzi).Originally, the gossip mirror is a mascot to deter evil spirits, not just to change Fengshui.

Mahogany gossip mirrors are commonly used by Taoist priests, while bronzes are relatively rare.And this bronze mirror is a magic weapon given to him by his master. The back of this mirror is also engraved with the spell of master's infusion of mana, which has increased its power on the original basis.

When Yi Xuanqing pointed the mirror at King Ning's face, King Ning's face covered with lines first appeared in the bronze mirror that could reflect all evil things, which was no different from what King Ning and Yi Xuanqing saw.

But there was a change very quickly. In the mirror, the black lines on King Ning's face began to emit bursts of black air. The black air was too thick to form a black mist, and these black mist enveloped King Ning's body. It is obvious from the mirror that King Ning's whole body has been wrapped.

King Ning originally didn't have the energy to make an expression and let out a scream.But he watched his whole body being swept by the black mist, and immediately screamed in horror.

Yi Xuanqing took back the mirror.Seeing that King Ning, who was lying on the bed and couldn't stand upright, was about to roll out of bed in fright, he ignored him and just said: "If there is an effect, there must be a cause. The prince is not sick. Please don't hide it. Good." He couldn't say much.

King Ning gave a wry smile and stood still. Perhaps because of this fright, King Ning sat up and spoke forcefully: "There is nothing to hide. Things are very different, as long as the Taoist leader can help me out of the predicament, I can try my best to repay you."

King Ning said sternly: "This king will become what he is today because of the altar god who was invited back a year ago..."
