When I Ditched the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 24 The little waste destined to be discarded
A new task has appeared on Jianzong's list of eliminating demons at some point.
The quest mentioned that there was an evil spirit at the foot of the mountain who described it as good-looking, and loved to pretend to be a fairy, who was specially designed to deceive the ignorant girl, and used magic to collect yin. The disciples of Jianzong were asked to go quickly and get rid of this demon.
But many disciples received the task and squatted in the towns down the mountain for several months, but they never saw this evil appearance.
As time passed, there were very few simple tasks left on the list of eliminating demons, and only this one stood at the top of the list, which became a legend circulated among inner disciples.
All of this has nothing to do with Lingyu Mountain.
On that day, Su Mingxiu brought Gui Mian back to the mountain, and before he entered the cave, he felt that his clothes were stagnant——
She looked back and saw Guimian who fell face down at some point. It was normal for the little girl to wake up at the bottom of the mountain. She followed her to the foot of the mountain and walked all the way up. Now her face was flushed. When she fell unconsciously, Her cheek slid against the hem of her dress and fell into the snow.
At first Su Mingxiu thought it was because the poison of the succubus last night hadn't been cured. When she leaned over, Yubai's fingertips touched the other party's neck through the clothes, and found that the heat was frighteningly high. After thinking for a moment, she took off her outer shirt and put The person was wrapped and brought to Jianzong's Baicao Hall.
To say that this continent is the best place to heal wounds, Jianzong Baicaotang is definitely among the best.The reason is very simple. Nine out of ten kendo practitioners are martial idiots. They are always thinking about leapfrogging challenges, or seeking death in dangerous situations for breakthroughs. They always return to the sect with strange internal and external injuries.Over time, Jianzong's Baicao Hall became famous all over the world.
When seeing Su Mingxiu, the disciples of Baicao Hall immediately realized that the problem was not simple.After all, this Elder Lingyu has never stepped into the Baicao Hall for hundreds of years. Even when he failed to cross the catastrophe, he just closed the mountain gate cave and announced retreat to recuperate his wounds.
What kind of injury could alert her to come to Baicao Hall?
Walking with Elder Lingyu all the way, the disciples who saw her on the road were all surprised. Within a quarter of an hour, Tian Nanxing, the elder consul of Baicao Hall, hurriedly bid farewell to the suzerain, and when he returned to the hall, he said when he saw her: "But An old injury reappears?"
Tian Nanxing is the original owner in Jianzong, apart from the suzerain, it is rare for someone who has a friendship with him. She, Lingyu and the current suzerain are all from the same sect, but since the elder Lingyu came to ask for advice on the spirit grass recorded in ancient books hundreds of years ago, Later, after studying the insidious method of "taking spiritual roots and digging up golden elixirs", in order to deceive others, he began to live in seclusion.
The elder of Baicaotang is one of the rare people who knows that she has suffered from hidden wounds since she crossed the catastrophe, and that she has not made any progress in cultivation for hundreds of years. Now when she sees her, she is relieved. The ball in my arms.
Tian Nanxing: "This is?"
Su Mingxiu briefly told about the succubus, and handed over Guimian who was hugging him through his clothes.
After only a short second of loss, Tian Nanxing shifted her attention to the half-faced man in her arms who had already passed out unconsciously. She was startled, as if remembering something, "This is your recent A new apprentice?"
Tian Nanxing led her to the inner room, asked her to put her down, and while helping them investigate, looked at her expression, and said softly: "Today, the suzerain brother still talked to me about your mountain disciple, he said you If you don’t care about it any longer, there will be no successors in this Lingyu Mountain, and your reputation as a master before is really a bit... In short, it’s great to have an apprentice who you can admire and is willing to protect."
The person standing next to him just lowered his eyes, his side face was extremely beautiful.But there is no emotion in the eyes, making people feel cold to the bone just by looking at them.
Tian Nanxing wasn't sure if she had listened to her words, so she could only sigh and go to get the medicinal herb to test the poison of the succubus.
Not long after, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just a simple fever," and then she was a little surprised: "How did you detoxify her?"
She didn't believe at all that Su Mingxiu's seemingly unrequited love would... use that kind of method to her apprentice.
But when Su Mingxiu finished speaking, her eyes were still blank for a second.
"This……"
"As expected of you."
In less than half a day, the word spread all over the Sword Sect, that Guimian from Lingyu Mountain used some means to win Elder Lingyu's favor, but just a fever caused her master to rush to Baicaotang.
Rumors spread, and in the final version, Guimian knelt for three days and three nights in front of the Buran residence in Lingyu Mountain Cave Mansion in order to ask Elder Lingyu to teach her swordsmanship. He was accepted as a closed disciple, and rushed into Baicao hall overnight, asking Elder Tian Nanxing to tell the whereabouts of the love grass in the ancient book, to open up spiritual knowledge, understand the seven emotions, and teach the strongest swordsmanship for Gui Mian.
Su Mingxiu himself who heard these rumors: "..."
It can only be said that it is worthy of being Jianzong.
All in all, Guimian completed the transformation from "Jianzong's deceitful little transparent" to "Elder Lingyu's precious apprentice" in just a febrile lethargy.
After Su Mingxiu realized that the conditions she had ordered to improve Guimian were only completed better by others instead of cutting corners, she let the rumors go.
On the contrary, the system said that it had something to say: "If I knew this, why did you resist so much when you were doing the task?"
It knew that Su Mingxiu couldn't bear to face such a face, as long as she couldn't just watch Guimian suffer, she would definitely have the idea of protecting him.
The more guilty Su Mingxiu feels about Gui Mian and the better he is, the more conducive to the completion of the final task.The system thinks, as long as Su Mingxiu feels guilty for completing the task in the future, how else can Su Mingxiu trick the heroine into falling in love with her during those [-] days?
Taking the system's words as a deaf ear, Su Mingxiu walked to the bedside with the prepared medicine from Baicaotang.
This "Undying Residence" is not big at all, compared to the cave opened by the original owner for cultivation, this place is at best a small bamboo house, reserved for another person in memory.
Later, the one in Xuan Bingli was injured, and Elder Lingyu spent all his time practicing and healing, or going out to find treasures for his sweetheart. In addition, Lingyu Mountain has no visitors all year round, let alone take care of the bamboo house .
The eight disciples who were accepted later also upheld the reverence for the original owner, and did not dare to touch the decoration of the bamboo house at will.Regardless of winter or summer, I rely on practice to keep myself warm from the cold.
Until now, there is a rare warmth on the mountain peak that is not melted by ice and snow all year round.
Su Mingxiu glanced at the constant temperature array arranged in the corner, and saw that the sheets covering Guimian's body and under her were all made of high-quality silk and satin.Finally, his eyes fell on a tattered patch on her cuff, and he took a long time to move away.
The medicine bowl in her hand is only warm, but the little girl covered by the quilt has not yet regained consciousness, she is still in a deep sleep, the high temperature has burned the thin skin on her lips, lining her small face, just screaming People feel pitiful.
Su Mingxiu put the bowl beside her, raised her hand to collect the liquid medicine, urged it with spiritual power to form a brown water mist, and moved towards Gui Mian's face.
The moment the medicine mist stuck to the skin, it silently followed the guidance of her spiritual power and entered the blood.
When there was no drop left in the bowl of medicine, Su Mingxiu pressed the back of his hand against the other's forehead, feeling that the temperature had dropped a bit, and was about to get up and go out, but the little girl lying on the bed seemed to have regained consciousness and was tightly covered He kicked his hands and feet wildly.
The brand new quilt slipped to the ground, revealing the gray ink robe that had been covering her body.
The long-sleeved robe hung over the child's body, which was more than enough to cover her figure tightly.Only a blushing head was exposed, and on the translucent veil, those wildly scribbled ink marks intertwined, as if using ink as a chain, tightly enclosing the other party.
Su Mingxiu blinked lightly, stepped forward, bent over to pick up the quilt, and covered her tightly again.
When she spread the quilt, she didn't know where her fingertips touched, and she drew out a messy red thread, wrapped it around her wrist, and pulled out a long piece as she retreated.
The outside is cold and white, and the bamboo walls inside the house have also faded early, with light-colored long quilts and plain white wrists.For a moment, there was only a thread of red around Su Mingxiu's wrist, which was extremely dazzling.
The intertwined red thread was reflected in the black pupils, Su Mingxiu looked along the red thread, only saw the soft quilt, she looked away again, and stood there for a while.
Then, she raised her hand and made a pinch, causing the ball of red thread to float out from the bed, automatically form a small ball in mid-air, and land silently beside Guimian's pillow.
When the sky is bright.
Gui Mian rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, at first she thought she was still down the mountain.It wasn't until I looked out of the courtyard and saw the icy edges hanging down from the house that I belatedly realized that the only place in the southern world where snow still falls in April is Lingyu Mountain.
She looked at the quilt covering her body suspiciously, and before she could tell why the fabric was not stained, she saw a light robe sliding down the quilt.
She knows this one!
It belongs to Master!
Gui Mian suddenly found the backbone, hugged the clothes and got off the ground, and ran towards the outside, but before she could go out, she almost bumped into someone, her shoulder was supported, and the voice of the visitor came from the top of her head: "Go where?"
She raised her head, saw that it was Su Mingxiu, immediately smiled, and passed the clothes in her arms with both hands: "Master, your clothes are left here."
Su Mingxiu was still holding the medicine bowl in one hand. Seeing this, he took back the cassock and robe with the other hand, and at the same time passed the medicine bowl: "Drink it while it's hot."
Gui Mian let out an "oh", without even asking what it was, she opened her mouth and poured it, but just after taking two sips of the medicine, her facial features wrinkled, and she asked vaguely, "This... what is it?"
"The medicine to cure the disease." Su Mingxiu guessed from the memory of the original owner that no one cared about the child since he was a child, and he didn't know whether he was sick or not. I fainted as soon as I went up the mountain, because I was sick."
The little girl followed up with a few words of "sickness", seeming to understand half understood, then picked up the bowl again, frowning and took a sip.
It was rare to see such a vivid expression on her face, Su Mingxiu raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Is it bitter?"
Gui Mian nodded, she knew it was hard, because she was fed some messy things by her seniors in Jianzong's dining room, and it was Senior Sister Qiongying who stood up to stop her and told her what flavors were acceptable and what were not.
Bitter, no.
Thinking of this, she quietly raised her eyes to look at Su Mingxiu, with a rare hesitant expression on her face.
Su Mingxiu had just put on the cassock again, but she didn't know whether it was because the room was too warm, or the clothes had been warmed in another person's quilt for too long, and the heat was still there, but now it was sticking to her skin , extraordinarily weird.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to strike a tactic, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Gui Mian's face, so he asked aloud, "What's wrong?"
"Senior sister said, bitter things should not be eaten; Master also said, bitter things are medicines to cure diseases..." The child almost wrote her entanglement on her face, but before Su Mingxiu could answer, she came to the conclusion on her own Conclusion: "It's only when you're sick that you suffer, right?"
Su Mingxiu's movement of calling the wind was slow for a second, and after a while, his brows relaxed, and he seemed to reply helplessly: "Right."
Gui Mian learned new knowledge, this time she didn't frown anymore, and simply drank the bowl of medicine neatly.
After watching her expression for a while, Su Mingxiu didn't find any clues. He wanted to take out the candied fruit that the disciples of Baicaotang sent along with the medicine from his sleeve, but now he gave up the idea.
She turned around and stepped into the wind and snow outside the door, leaving only a faint sentence: "Take good care of your illness."
The wind and snow in Lingyu Mountain whizzed, rolled up the sleeves of her robe, and the residual warmth that Su Mingxiu couldn't stand before dissipated in the cold room, and there was no trace left.
That night.
Su Mingxiu didn't practice, but sat by the icy lake, his feet immersed in the cold water, but he didn't feel unbearable. The icy lake on Lingyu Mountain was originally the spirit that the original owner specially found to heal Tianlei's old wound. Chi Suohua's aura-filled coldness was able to calm down the thunder-like pain in her meridians.
Could it be that there is no wind tonight, and everything in the world is quiet, only the bright moon hangs high above the head, and the silver light illuminates everything on the top of the mountain even brighter.
Gui Mian just brought today's medicine from the disciples of Baicao Hall, and he should have recovered after drinking it. When he passed by here, he saw the pine and bamboo figure sitting by the ice lake, with black hair falling down like a waterfall, wearing a blouse. The thick ink mark on the face, against the black hair, is actually a bit dim.
Gui Mian, holding the medicine bowl, stopped at the spot for no reason, looked at the scene in front of him, stared at it for a while and couldn't help but think:
What am I doing here?
She didn't think about it, so she just greeted Su Mingxiu, and after the person with her back gave a faint "hmm", she went to Buranju again with the medicine bowl in her hand, but when she saw Su Mingxiu's face, she went to see Su Mingxiu again. Seeing her soaking in the cold pool beside her legs, there was a particularly conspicuous greenness.
This is the only green color in the vast snowfield on Lingyu Mountain.
Gui Mian couldn't help but widen her eyes, "What did Master plant?"
Su Mingxiu opened his eyes, looked at the lotus plant next to his knees that had soaked in the spirit pool for a long time, and now it has only grown a green leaf, with drooping eyelashes, and casually replied: "Little thing."
In fact, when Guimian was practicing swords at Wendaotai, he overheard the disciples chatting around, saying that there is a special spiritual spring on Lingyu Mountain, only those with advanced cultivation can benefit from it, and ordinary people and those with low cultivation will fall into it. If the spiritual power is not running enough, it is easy to freeze into icicles.
Now seeing the little green seedling next to Su Mingxiu, Gui Mian quickly understood that it was probably a spiritual plant.
But all spiritual plants need a place full of spiritual energy to nourish them.
Although Gui Mian didn't know what the master planted this plant for, but the book said that some disciples would do their best, so she stared at the green leaf in the lake thoughtfully, feeling caressing in her heart.
"What are you doing?"
The next morning.
Su Mingxiu spent the whole night reading the classics in the cave, studying the situation of Guimian's "unable to open spiritual consciousness, unable to comprehend the seven emotions and six desires". Just as he was thinking of coming out to see her, he saw the little girl squatting in the spiritual pool that he soaked in last night. Beside him, the bowl in his hand was pouring brown liquid medicine——
He covered his head and face, and poured it all on the delicate lotus leaf.
If he hadn't known that his apprentice was in a special situation, Su Mingxiu would have beaten her like a brat, picked her up and beat her up.
The little girl who was discovered by her really shrank her neck guiltily.
Su Mingxiu glanced at the medicine bowl in her hand, and knew that her illness had been cured long ago. This was specially prepared by Elder Tian Nanxing for Guimian to strengthen her body after seeing that she cared for her apprentice very rarely, but she did not follow The little apprentice explained this.
At the moment, she was standing on the other side of the frozen lake, the corners of her lips moved rarely, giving the illusion of softness, and she asked aloud, "You don't want to drink anymore?"
If someone who is familiar with her is here, she will definitely be able to tell that her appearance is the precursor to anger.
Although Gui Mian was unaware of her emotional changes, she was born with an instinct for danger, so she quickly shook her head and looked at her with round deer eyes, "No, no, Master, I... I am saving it."
She pointed to the small lotus leaf by the pool under her feet seriously.
The aura around Su Mingxiu dissipated without the wind, and she took a few steps forward. Her boots stepped on the ice, and with the movement of her walking, the ice lake that had been frozen all night melted again, rippling on the soles of her boots A circle of round ripples.
"Oh?"
Gui Mian seemed to never have thought about the consequences of her words being treated as nonsense, and said to Su Mingxiu with her usual serious attitude: "Disciple... When I got up early, I wanted to help Master water this spiritual plant, but I just When I got close, the little half of it turned yellow and curled up. I thought it was sick, so I wanted to give it medicine to save it."
As Su Mingxiu approached, she saw the lotus leaf.Except for the traces of dripping brown liquid medicine, there is indeed a small half of it in a withered state.
Even as soon as she came to the side, the lotus leaf seemed to have a feeling, tilting the leaf towards her, with a hint of flattery.
And the withered small half of the leaf, the moment she touched it with her fingertips, slowly grew green and became full of vitality again.
The fairy elder in the ink-colored robe frowned slightly, pinched the slender rhizome of the lotus leaf with his fingertips, and asked as if talking to himself: "What on earth are you?"
But the lotus leaf remained motionless.
Or Gui Mian carefully called her: "Master?"
Su Mingxiu raised her eyes and looked at her, not pursuing the fact that she made the lotus leaves wither, and regained her calm expression, "Lingzhi is different from people, your medicine is ineffective for it, from now on, the medicine sent by Baicaotang You must drink every drop of the medicine."
The little girl blinked her eyes and replied "Oh".
Just at this time, the system suddenly popped up again: "Please help the heroine improve her strength as soon as possible! Let her build a foundation within three months! Failure penalty: Ten times the pain in the muscles and veins during training, which lasts for one month."
Then, intentionally or unintentionally, the system added another sentence: "Friendly suggestion, life and death are the easiest way for the heroine to improve her strength. For example, in a village and town a hundred miles away, there is a mid-stage foundation-building monster making trouble."
Su Mingxiu listened to the content of the task without changing his face, and waited for the system to finish speaking before asking it:
[She couldn't improve, obviously because her spiritual consciousness was chaotic, and she couldn't sense the aura of heaven and earth. Why was she able to improve when fighting monsters and dying? 】
System: "This is not what you should know."
【Oh. 】
So, in front of the system, while Guimian drank the last sip of medicine in the Jasper medicine bowl, she stretched out her left hand, grabbed her bowl and threw it to the side, and grabbed her collar with the other hand, The person with puffy cheeks mentioned——
A strong spiritual energy was released from her body, and the frozen ice lake under her feet completely melted, and a cold white mist of spiritual power emerged, winding up from the edge of her robe.
"Operate spiritual power."
Su Mingxiu lightly reminded her.
Gui Mian quickly gulped down all the medicine in her mouth, and circulated her spiritual power obediently.But soon, her whole body was engulfed by the mist in the spirit pool, and water droplets condensed on her eyelashes and skin. She hadn't fallen into the pool yet, but she seemed to have been soaked thoroughly. The new clothes were all wet.
In this situation, it doesn't seem like she is about to be thrown into the water, but rather like she has just been picked up from the water by Su Mingxiu.
The concentration of spiritual power was too high, the little apprentice only felt that it was a little hard for her to even breathe, her cheeks turned red quickly, and her eyes became blurred, only her instinct was still following Su Mingxiu's previous instructions, and she was working hard to circulate her spiritual power Sunday.
Su Mingxiu mentioned that she couldn't teach her better mental skills and spiritual power.
After thinking about it, she leaned against the pool and sat down, turning the lotus leaf into a larger piece, and placed Guimian in the spiritual mist across the pool water, just as she was about to push the person away from her, she stretched out her hand He made a move, but suddenly the opponent stretched his neck and opened his mouth to bite.
"Huh?" She looked down at the limp man lying on the green lotus leaf. His clothes were soaked, revealing a slender body line. The exposed skin was pale and dazzling due to the lack of nutrition all year round. But now this man still opened his mouth. Biting her finger.
Just biting is not enough, it is like a small animal, using both lips and teeth.
Wrapped in warm softness on the fingertips, Su Mingxiu couldn't help it anymore, and whispered: "Let go!"
Gui Mian's consciousness was a little confused, she looked at her hazyly for a long time, and then she seemed to remember something, she loosened her grip on her fingertips, and muttered softly: "After drinking, there is not a single drop left."
Su Mingxiu: "??"
She couldn't help but glared at the little apprentice, she was so angry that she wanted to laugh, and was about to ask the little girl if she knew what she was talking about, when suddenly she realized something.
next moment.
With a complicated expression, Su Mingxiu lifted the fingertip bitten by the little apprentice and placed it near the end of his nose.Sure enough, a scent of elixir that was about to disappear still lingered on it.
...was it stained when you moved the bowl away for the other party just now?
She casually dipped the marks on her fingertips into the pool water, raised her other hand, and wanted to sit up from the lotus leaf with Gui Mian, but the child, who had been dazed by the spiritual mist, came up on the lotus leaf like noodles Swaying back and forth twice, she fell back limply into her arms.
Wet clothes cling to her cassock.
The little apprentice's eyes seemed to be infected by the spiritual mist, and they became misty, and unconsciously called her with a somewhat hoarse voice: "Master..."
But I just opened my mouth.
It was that faint medicinal fragrance again.
Su Mingxiu's eyelashes trembled for no reason, and the tip of his left finger dipped in the pool couldn't help moving, and the movement of watering was more urgent, as if it could completely wash off the traces that shouldn't be stained.
The quest mentioned that there was an evil spirit at the foot of the mountain who described it as good-looking, and loved to pretend to be a fairy, who was specially designed to deceive the ignorant girl, and used magic to collect yin. The disciples of Jianzong were asked to go quickly and get rid of this demon.
But many disciples received the task and squatted in the towns down the mountain for several months, but they never saw this evil appearance.
As time passed, there were very few simple tasks left on the list of eliminating demons, and only this one stood at the top of the list, which became a legend circulated among inner disciples.
All of this has nothing to do with Lingyu Mountain.
On that day, Su Mingxiu brought Gui Mian back to the mountain, and before he entered the cave, he felt that his clothes were stagnant——
She looked back and saw Guimian who fell face down at some point. It was normal for the little girl to wake up at the bottom of the mountain. She followed her to the foot of the mountain and walked all the way up. Now her face was flushed. When she fell unconsciously, Her cheek slid against the hem of her dress and fell into the snow.
At first Su Mingxiu thought it was because the poison of the succubus last night hadn't been cured. When she leaned over, Yubai's fingertips touched the other party's neck through the clothes, and found that the heat was frighteningly high. After thinking for a moment, she took off her outer shirt and put The person was wrapped and brought to Jianzong's Baicao Hall.
To say that this continent is the best place to heal wounds, Jianzong Baicaotang is definitely among the best.The reason is very simple. Nine out of ten kendo practitioners are martial idiots. They are always thinking about leapfrogging challenges, or seeking death in dangerous situations for breakthroughs.

She didn't believe at all that Su Mingxiu's seemingly unrequited love would... use that kind of method to her apprentice.
But when Su Mingxiu finished speaking, her eyes were still blank for a second.
"This……"

Gui Mian rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, at first she thought she was still down the mountain.It wasn't until I looked out of the courtyard and saw the icy edges hanging down from the house that I belatedly realized that the only place in the southern world where snow still falls in April is Lingyu Mountain.
She looked at the quilt covering her body suspiciously, and before she could tell why the fabric was not stained, she saw a light robe sliding down the quilt.
She knows this one!
It belongs to Master!
Gui Mian suddenly found the backbone, hugged the clothes and got off the ground, and ran towards the outside, but before she could go out, she almost bumped into someone, her shoulder was supported, and the voice of the visitor came from the top of her head: "Go where?"
She raised her head, saw that it was Su Mingxiu, immediately smiled, and passed the clothes in her arms with both hands: "Master, your clothes are left here."
Su Mingxiu was still holding the medicine bowl in one hand. Seeing this, he took back the cassock and robe with the other hand, and at the same time passed the medicine bowl: "Drink it while it's hot."
Gui Mian let out an "oh", without even asking what it was, she opened her mouth and poured it, but just after taking two sips of the medicine, her facial features wrinkled, and she asked vaguely, "This... what is it?"
"The medicine to cure the disease." Su Mingxiu guessed from the memory of the original owner that no one cared about the child since he was a child, and he didn't know whether he was sick or not. I fainted as soon as I went up the mountain, because I was sick."
The little girl followed up with a few words of "sickness", seeming to understand half understood, then picked up the bowl again, frowning and took a sip.
It was rare to see such a vivid expression on her face, Su Mingxiu raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Is it bitter?"
Gui Mian nodded, she knew it was hard, because she was fed some messy things by her seniors in Jianzong's dining room, and it was Senior Sister Qiongying who stood up to stop her and told her what flavors were acceptable and what were not.
Bitter, no.
Thinking of this, she quietly raised her eyes to look at Su Mingxiu, with a rare hesitant expression on her face.
Su Mingxiu had just put on the cassock again, but she didn't know whether it was because the room was too warm, or the clothes had been warmed in another person's quilt for too long, and the heat was still there, but now it was sticking to her skin , extraordinarily weird.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to strike a tactic, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Gui Mian's face, so he asked aloud, "What's wrong?"
"Senior sister said, bitter things should not be eaten; Master also said, bitter things are medicines to cure diseases..." The child almost wrote her entanglement on her face, but before Su Mingxiu could answer, she came to the conclusion on her own Conclusion: "It's only when you're sick that you suffer, right?"
Su Mingxiu's movement of calling the wind was slow for a second, and after a while, his brows relaxed, and he seemed to reply helplessly: "Right."
Gui Mian learned new knowledge, this time she didn't frown anymore, and simply drank the bowl of medicine neatly.
After watching her expression for a while, Su Mingxiu didn't find any clues. He wanted to take out the candied fruit that the disciples of Baicaotang sent along with the medicine from his sleeve, but now he gave up the idea.
She turned around and stepped into the wind and snow outside the door, leaving only a faint sentence: "Take good care of your illness."
The wind and snow in Lingyu Mountain whizzed, rolled up the sleeves of her robe, and the residual warmth that Su Mingxiu couldn't stand before dissipated in the cold room, and there was no trace left.
That night.
Su Mingxiu didn't practice, but sat by the icy lake, his feet immersed in the cold water, but he didn't feel unbearable. The icy lake on Lingyu Mountain was originally the spirit that the original owner specially found to heal Tianlei's old wound. Chi Suohua's aura-filled coldness was able to calm down the thunder-like pain in her meridians.
Could it be that there is no wind tonight, and everything in the world is quiet, only the bright moon hangs high above the head, and the silver light illuminates everything on the top of the mountain even brighter.
Gui Mian just brought today's medicine from the disciples of Baicao Hall, and he should have recovered after drinking it. When he passed by here, he saw the pine and bamboo figure sitting by the ice lake, with black hair falling down like a waterfall, wearing a blouse. The thick ink mark on the face, against the black hair, is actually a bit dim.
Gui Mian, holding the medicine bowl, stopped at the spot for no reason, looked at the scene in front of him, stared at it for a while and couldn't help but think:
What am I doing here?
She didn't think about it, so she just greeted Su Mingxiu, and after the person with her back gave a faint "hmm", she went to Buranju again with the medicine bowl in her hand, but when she saw Su Mingxiu's face, she went to see Su Mingxiu again. Seeing her soaking in the cold pool beside her legs, there was a particularly conspicuous greenness.
This is the only green color in the vast snowfield on Lingyu Mountain.
Gui Mian couldn't help but widen her eyes, "What did Master plant?"
Su Mingxiu opened his eyes, looked at the lotus plant next to his knees that had soaked in the spirit pool for a long time, and now it has only grown a green leaf, with drooping eyelashes, and casually replied: "Little thing."
In fact, when Guimian was practicing swords at Wendaotai, he overheard the disciples chatting around, saying that there is a special spiritual spring on Lingyu Mountain, only those with advanced cultivation can benefit from it, and ordinary people and those with low cultivation will fall into it. If the spiritual power is not running enough, it is easy to freeze into icicles.
Now seeing the little green seedling next to Su Mingxiu, Gui Mian quickly understood that it was probably a spiritual plant.
But all spiritual plants need a place full of spiritual energy to nourish them.
Although Gui Mian didn't know what the master planted this plant for, but the book said that some disciples would do their best, so she stared at the green leaf in the lake thoughtfully, feeling caressing in her heart.
"What are you doing?"
The next morning.
Su Mingxiu spent the whole night reading the classics in the cave, studying the situation of Guimian's "unable to open spiritual consciousness, unable to comprehend the seven emotions and six desires". Just as he was thinking of coming out to see her, he saw the little girl squatting in the spiritual pool that he soaked in last night. Beside him, the bowl in his hand was pouring brown liquid medicine——
He covered his head and face, and poured it all on the delicate lotus leaf.
If he hadn't known that his apprentice was in a special situation, Su Mingxiu would have beaten her like a brat, picked her up and beat her up.
The little girl who was discovered by her really shrank her neck guiltily.
Su Mingxiu glanced at the medicine bowl in her hand, and knew that her illness had been cured long ago. This was specially prepared by Elder Tian Nanxing for Guimian to strengthen her body after seeing that she cared for her apprentice very rarely, but she did not follow The little apprentice explained this.
At the moment, she was standing on the other side of the frozen lake, the corners of her lips moved rarely, giving the illusion of softness, and she asked aloud, "You don't want to drink anymore?"
If someone who is familiar with her is here, she will definitely be able to tell that her appearance is the precursor to anger.
Although Gui Mian was unaware of her emotional changes, she was born with an instinct for danger, so she quickly shook her head and looked at her with round deer eyes, "No, no, Master, I... I am saving it."
She pointed to the small lotus leaf by the pool under her feet seriously.
The aura around Su Mingxiu dissipated without the wind, and she took a few steps forward. Her boots stepped on the ice, and with the movement of her walking, the ice lake that had been frozen all night melted again, rippling on the soles of her boots A circle of round ripples.
"Oh?"
Gui Mian seemed to never have thought about the consequences of her words being treated as nonsense, and said to Su Mingxiu with her usual serious attitude: "Disciple... When I got up early, I wanted to help Master water this spiritual plant, but I just When I got close, the little half of it turned yellow and curled up. I thought it was sick, so I wanted to give it medicine to save it."
As Su Mingxiu approached, she saw the lotus leaf.Except for the traces of dripping brown liquid medicine, there is indeed a small half of it in a withered state.
Even as soon as she came to the side, the lotus leaf seemed to have a feeling, tilting the leaf towards her, with a hint of flattery.
And the withered small half of the leaf, the moment she touched it with her fingertips, slowly grew green and became full of vitality again.
The fairy elder in the ink-colored robe frowned slightly, pinched the slender rhizome of the lotus leaf with his fingertips, and asked as if talking to himself: "What on earth are you?"
But the lotus leaf remained motionless.
Or Gui Mian carefully called her: "Master?"
Su Mingxiu raised her eyes and looked at her, not pursuing the fact that she made the lotus leaves wither, and regained her calm expression, "Lingzhi is different from people, your medicine is ineffective for it, from now on, the medicine sent by Baicaotang You must drink every drop of the medicine."
The little girl blinked her eyes and replied "Oh".
Just at this time, the system suddenly popped up again: "Please help the heroine improve her strength as soon as possible! Let her build a foundation within three months! Failure penalty: Ten times the pain in the muscles and veins during training, which lasts for one month."
Then, intentionally or unintentionally, the system added another sentence: "Friendly suggestion, life and death are the easiest way for the heroine to improve her strength. For example, in a village and town a hundred miles away, there is a mid-stage foundation-building monster making trouble."
Su Mingxiu listened to the content of the task without changing his face, and waited for the system to finish speaking before asking it:
[She couldn't improve, obviously because her spiritual consciousness was chaotic, and she couldn't sense the aura of heaven and earth. Why was she able to improve when fighting monsters and dying? 】
System: "This is not what you should know."
【Oh. 】
So, in front of the system, while Guimian drank the last sip of medicine in the Jasper medicine bowl, she stretched out her left hand, grabbed her bowl and threw it to the side, and grabbed her collar with the other hand, The person with puffy cheeks mentioned——
A strong spiritual energy was released from her body, and the frozen ice lake under her feet completely melted, and a cold white mist of spiritual power emerged, winding up from the edge of her robe.
"Operate spiritual power."
Su Mingxiu lightly reminded her.
Gui Mian quickly gulped down all the medicine in her mouth, and circulated her spiritual power obediently.But soon, her whole body was engulfed by the mist in the spirit pool, and water droplets condensed on her eyelashes and skin. She hadn't fallen into the pool yet, but she seemed to have been soaked thoroughly. The new clothes were all wet.
In this situation, it doesn't seem like she is about to be thrown into the water, but rather like she has just been picked up from the water by Su Mingxiu.
The concentration of spiritual power was too high, the little apprentice only felt that it was a little hard for her to even breathe, her cheeks turned red quickly, and her eyes became blurred, only her instinct was still following Su Mingxiu's previous instructions, and she was working hard to circulate her spiritual power Sunday.
Su Mingxiu mentioned that she couldn't teach her better mental skills and spiritual power.
After thinking about it, she leaned against the pool and sat down, turning the lotus leaf into a larger piece, and placed Guimian in the spiritual mist across the pool water, just as she was about to push the person away from her, she stretched out her hand He made a move, but suddenly the opponent stretched his neck and opened his mouth to bite.
"Huh?" She looked down at the limp man lying on the green lotus leaf. His clothes were soaked, revealing a slender body line. The exposed skin was pale and dazzling due to the lack of nutrition all year round. But now this man still opened his mouth. Biting her finger.
Just biting is not enough, it is like a small animal, using both lips and teeth.
Wrapped in warm softness on the fingertips, Su Mingxiu couldn't help it anymore, and whispered: "Let go!"
Gui Mian's consciousness was a little confused, she looked at her hazyly for a long time, and then she seemed to remember something, she loosened her grip on her fingertips, and muttered softly: "After drinking, there is not a single drop left."
Su Mingxiu: "??"
She couldn't help but glared at the little apprentice, she was so angry that she wanted to laugh, and was about to ask the little girl if she knew what she was talking about, when suddenly she realized something.
next moment.
With a complicated expression, Su Mingxiu lifted the fingertip bitten by the little apprentice and placed it near the end of his nose.Sure enough, a scent of elixir that was about to disappear still lingered on it.
...was it stained when you moved the bowl away for the other party just now?
She casually dipped the marks on her fingertips into the pool water, raised her other hand, and wanted to sit up from the lotus leaf with Gui Mian, but the child, who had been dazed by the spiritual mist, came up on the lotus leaf like noodles Swaying back and forth twice, she fell back limply into her arms.
Wet clothes cling to her cassock.
The little apprentice's eyes seemed to be infected by the spiritual mist, and they became misty, and unconsciously called her with a somewhat hoarse voice: "Master..."
But I just opened my mouth.
It was that faint medicinal fragrance again.
Su Mingxiu's eyelashes trembled for no reason, and the tip of his left finger dipped in the pool couldn't help moving, and the movement of watering was more urgent, as if it could completely wash off the traces that shouldn't be stained.
