[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

Shangguan Lianhua was explaining the scenery here to Su Xin and Su Yao, he was talking happily, when he saw the young man, the smile on his face froze.Seeing it from the side, Xuan Zhen's thoughts turned sharply, he coughed lightly on purpose, and asked, "This is..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the medicine pot that the young man was holding in his arms.

At a glance, some strange things can be seen.The green jade altar is originally known for the technique of golden elixir, so medicine pots and pill furnaces are also common, but this medicine pot is not big or small, but it looks a bit weird, neither porcelain nor jade, neither copper nor iron, I don't know. What kind of material is it made of, the whole body is lacquered black, and the mouth of the jar is tightly sealed with a piece of black cloth. The strangest thing is that the body of the jar is covered with talisman paper from head to toe, which is so yellow and orange. It is conspicuous, and there are blood-colored spells drawn on it, wrapping the black pot in layers.

Xuan Zhen squinted his eyes, glanced around the pot, and thought: There is so much spiritual power on that talisman paper!I don't know what precious medicinal materials are sealed in it?

The young disciple saw that Xuan Zhen paid special attention to the medicine pot, his eyes suddenly flickered, his face turned pale, his body moved uneasily, and he cast his eyes on Shangguan Lianhua for help.This gentle and handsome young man didn't seem to notice it, but he suddenly said: "It's just a disciple of the sect entering the Pill Pavilion to refine medicine, there is nothing special about it. Brother Xuan Zhen, why don't we go to the upper floor to have a look? There is no sunlight all year round, The night scene is really beautiful, especially the fireflies transformed by the breath of wood spirits in the flowers and plants..."

"Ke Shicai heard from you that the Yiyou Pill Pavilion is an excellent alchemy room in the Qingyu Altar. The spiritual pressure in it is so heavy that ordinary people can't bear it. On weekdays, except for the head, the elders, and you young and promising disciples Others are not allowed to enter without authorization. This junior... His cultivation seems a little superficial?" Xuan Zhen interrupted him, and glanced at the young man meaningfully, and saw that the young disciple's face became even more serious. What's worse, what's even more surprising is that the boy seemed to be so terrified that even the hands holding the black pot trembled a little, and the pulling made his whole body tremble slightly.

The light in Shangguan Lianhua's eyes gradually deepened, and the warm smile on his lips faded a lot even though it didn't fade away. He stared at Xuan Zhen for a while before slowly saying: "Junior Brother Tongzhi has only been a beginner for a short time, so his cultivation level is naturally no better than others. He is a man, but he is very talented, and Yiyou Dan Pavilion really lacks a diligent disciple to clean it up, so he was appointed as a deacon in Dan Pavilion. He only stays there for half an hour every day, which is nothing .”

Xuan Zhen looked back meaningfully: "Oh? So... that's it." After a pause, he smiled and said, "This matter is an internal matter of Qingyu Altar. In fact, Xuan Zhen just asked casually. Brother Shangguan, why should you be so serious about it? What about it?" Don't you hear that the more you explain it, the more you try to cover it up?

Shangguan Lianhua's eyes flashed a cold light, but his face was more gentle, and he said with a smile: "The Righteous Way in the world is one family, and in my eyes there is no distinction between inside and outside, besides, Qingyu Altar has always acted openly and aboveboard, and there is nothing to hide Glancing at the young disciple who was still standing blankly in front of the Dan Pavilion steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "However, this Yiyou Dan Pavilion is an important place for my Qingyu altar, and even the disciples under the sect are not allowed to enter or leave at will. Come to think of it, senior brother Xuan Zhen won't make things difficult for me on purpose, and teach me to take you inside to have a look?"

Xuan Zhen lowered his eyes, but smiled silently.

"Hey, isn't the Pill Pavilion the place where medicine is refined?" Su Xin was listening to them answering a few sentences back and forth, but she didn't hear the dark waves in it. Naturally, she felt bored, so she pursed her lips immediately. Said, "At Qionghua Sect, watching Elder Long Ya walking around the stove is already enough, I don't want to go in and see, there are just some meatball stoves on the left, roasting people to death! Brother Shangguan, didn't you just now You said there are fireflies on the upper level of the jade altar? Why don’t you take us there to see it, my senior sister and I still want to hear your story!”

Shangguan Lianhua seemed to have been waiting for this sentence a long time ago, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "The two senior sisters have orders, and Lianhua should obey them. From here is the way to the top, let's go now?" As he said that, he waved at the young man seemingly unintentionally, "Don't be dazed, hurry up and go in!"

The young disciple had stood tremblingly by the side for a long time, but now he felt relieved, and rushed up the steps with the medicine jar in his arms.Xuan Zhen looked at his back from the bottom of the steps, his brows were unconsciously tightened.

Just at this moment, his robe sleeves moved a few times, Xuan Zhen only felt something warm and soft toss in it a few times, and then he saw a gray shadow jumping out from the loose cuffs, and it was almost there. From the back of the boy, his head just bumped into his elbow.

The young disciple was caught off guard and screamed in fright, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground with a plop.Another crisp bang was heard, but it was the medicine pot that slammed heavily on the edge of the stone steps.

The sound was not very loud, but it seemed to be better than thunder to some people's ears.The young disciple turned over and sat up, he didn't care to smack the dust on his body, he rushed to pick up the medicine jar and inspect it, but his hands shook so badly that he almost dropped the jar again.

"What happened?" With a soft shout, it was Shangguan Lianhua who turned back from the front again. He first stared at Xuan Zhen cautiously, and then turned his eyes to the young man. He understood in an instant, and his face changed drastically. .

The young man's face was ashen, but when he looked up and saw his fierce eyes, he showed an expression of extreme fear, as if he wished to pass out on the spot.

Shangguan Lianhua fixedly stared at the black pot for a long time, the calm smile on his face had long since vanished, and seeing his nervous look, there was probably something very important sealed in the black pot, but Xuan Zhen had so many doubts in his heart, it was hard to ask at this moment, he could only guess secretly.

The brown-robed young man closed his eyes and opened them again, and finally managed to suppress his emotions. His thin lips twitched a few times, and he still showed a slight smile. He turned his head and said to Xuan Zhen very ashamedly: "Lian Hua has no way to manage his disciples. Senior brother Xuan Zhen laughed."

Xuan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Where, it should be Xuan Zhen who apologizes to Brother Shangguan and this Junior Brother Tongzhi." As he spoke, he stepped forward slowly, and the inspector stretched his arm behind Tongzhi, where With a stunned expression, the young man took out a fluffy gray rabbit that was struggling and twisting constantly.

"This little thing is really wild and unruly, so Xuan Zhen really has no way to discipline it." Xuan Zhen gently stroked the gray rabbit in his arms, who was still unwilling to escape, and smiled at Shangguan Lianhua as if nothing had happened, " But come to think of it, brother Shangguan is so magnanimous, he wouldn't argue with a beast?"

"...That's natural." The corners of Shangguan Lianhua's mouth twitched a few more times before he forced a smile and turned to Tong Zhi, "Is there something wrong with that jar?"

Tongzhi hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, and said in a trembling voice, "Nothing, nothing!"

Only then did Shangguan Lianhua calm down, and said in a gentle voice: "Be more careful next time, go in quickly."

"Yes, yes!" The boy replied respectfully, and hurriedly got up from the ground holding the black pot.

The brown-robed youth cast a sideways glance at Xuan Zhen, and happened to meet his gaze, so he had to explain a few more words with a smile: "The medicine jar contains extremely rare medicinal materials, and if there is even a little bit of breath out, I will go away." Medicinal properties. Sigh, Junior Brother Tongzhi is about to cause a catastrophe, fortunately, fortunately..."

"Hey, brother, brother Shangguan, why don't you come here?" Suxin's head poked out from behind the rocks in front, the jade belts on the buns fluttered gently around her cheeks, making that small face even more beautiful It is lively and cute, "Go, go, go to see the fireflies!"

"Come here." Shangguan Lianhua replied loudly, turned his head and smiled faintly at Xuan Zhen, "Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, can we pass this time?" He said and walked towards Su Xin without looking back.

Xuan Zhen looked at his back, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, looked down at the gray rabbit in his arms, gently pulled the gray fluffy ears, and murmured: "You little thing... People add to the chaos!"

The gray rabbit seemed to be able to understand people's words, and immediately stopped struggling, raised its small head, and erected its two long fluffy ears, and the pair of round purple eyes that stared at it seemed to be filled with Feeling wronged and angry, but in the next moment, those round eyes suddenly opened wider, and the pair of small gray and fluffy claws even touched Xuan Zhen's shoulders. Xuan Zhen was startled, knowing that this gray rabbit is quite spiritual, afraid He was distracted by something behind him, so he hurriedly looked back.

At the same time, an extremely weak aura suddenly came from behind, making him tremble, but the moment he looked over, that aura was dissolved by the surrounding aura and disappeared between the heaven and the earth.

And at the place where the breath came from, on the steps directly in front, outside the corner door of Yiyou Pill Pavilion, the young man named Tongzhi was holding the medicine pot in one hand, bending down to pick up a piece of talisman paper and sticking it back on the pot .It seems that after the collision just now, the talisman paper on the black jar loosened a bit, and one of them was accidentally dropped, exposing the dark corner underneath.

Xuan Zhen stared at the black medicine pot, only to feel that crisp sound suddenly resounded in his ears, the sound echoed in his ears over and over again, stirring up the fog in his mind wave after wave, The strands of doubts are gradually gathering together, forming a vague answer...

Just now... that wisp of breath just now!There was a sudden movement in Xuan Zhen's heart, as if a light flashed across his mind.He can't make a mistake no matter what, the fleeting breath is clearly full of vitality, as if... like a human soul!

Just when he was shocked by what he thought, the boy had disappeared behind the corner gate.Although the medicine pot was no longer in front of his eyes, Xuan Zhen's heart was as bright as a mirror at the moment.Thinking about it, the black pot was not completely intact. When it was knocked out by the gray rabbit and knocked on the stone steps, there must have been a crack there, and it was because the talisman paper fell that exposed the damage that leaked out. It gave him a trace of vitality, and also made him understand some... truths hidden under the surface of decency!
