Stars fall and locust trees grow

Lunyin Island under the bright moon.

The afternoon breeze slowly blows through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound.

Above this surging sea of ​​emerald green bamboo, a large black and white furry head kept appearing and disappearing in the woods.

The panda sat on the ground, twitching its black nose, sniffing the fragrance of the bamboo leaves in front of it, and occasionally lowering its head to take a few bites, looking both comfortable and relaxed.

Not far in front of the panda, a reddish-brown blood python was spreading itself out into a huge long strip, lying listlessly on the ground basking in the sun.

Its pupils changed slightly from time to time, as if it was feeling the breeze blowing gently through the forest, or as if it was enjoying the rare freedom at the moment.

On the fat body of the blood python, the ball of fur was pacing slowly back and forth, sometimes walking from the head to the tail, and then from the tail to the head, looking lazy.

Passing through the bamboo forest, you will reach Qingyinyuan.

Gu Chuanlin, Wei Li, Zeng Muhan, Fu Xiling and Hu Di were sitting around the bed in the room, staring at the person lying on the bed.

"Ah... It's been a whole day and a night, why hasn't he woken up yet?!" Wei Li opened his mouth and yawned loudly.

This guy has been in a coma since returning yesterday afternoon.

Although Mingyuejian's head and several elders had come to see him and confirmed that nothing serious was wrong with him, he still felt uneasy.

"Oh my! Don't panic!" Hu Di gently shook the fan in his hand, his face calm.

"This kid has always been very perverted. He won't die so easily. Besides..."

He put away the fan with a swish, pointed at Li Chi's eyelids that kept moving, and grinned, "Look at his two eyeballs, they keep moving around under his eyelids. Who knows, he might be secretly having a sweet dream!"

Wei Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "He has been sleeping for so long without waking up. Do you think this kid is having a wet dream?!"

"Wet dream?!" Hu Di covered his mouth and burst out laughing. "It's normal for him to have a wet dream at his age. But..."

He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, glanced at Gu Chuanlin, propped his chin up and sighed, "I just don't know, did the kid in Mingyue push someone down in his dream, or was pushed down by someone else?!"

"Oh my! I really want to go in and take a look!"

Looking at Wei Li and Hu Di's evil smiles, Zeng Muchan felt it was so painful that even his eye sockets hurt.

"Can't you two be more serious?"

Why are they more disgusting than each other?

He rubbed his forehead helplessly, really not wanting to pay attention to them, so he turned his head to look at Gu Chuanlin. "Little Master, how is your injury...?!"

"No problem." Gu Chuanlin replied.

Although he was struck by several thunderbolts in the secret realm, fortunately he was in good health. After returning to Mingyuejian, his head brother Guchuan Lian used his luck to heal his injuries in time. In addition, with the help of the top-grade elixir given by the fifth elder Guchuan Du, he has basically recovered as normal now.

He sat on the edge of the couch, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and used his luck to explore Li Chi's body.

The meridians in his body were unobstructed, his sea of ​​consciousness was overflowing with spiritual energy, and the barrier that he had sensed in Shuozhou that day was gone.

It seems that there is really nothing wrong.

But, what on earth happened to him in the secret realm? !

First, he suddenly broke through, and then, he was able to communicate with the two sealed monsters...

Gu Chuanlin frowned.

When did the barrier in his body disappear?

How did he escape the secret realm's self-repair? !

Thinking of what Alakazam said in the secret realm, "The secret realm might be designed by the upper plane specifically for Li Chi", Gu Chuanlin vaguely felt that there were many strange things in it.

It would be a bit far-fetched to say that the secret realm was designed specifically for Li Chi. However, it is certain that this secret realm may really be related to Li Chi.

However, no matter how many guesses there are at this moment, it is meaningless in the end. Everything can only be known after the other party wakes up.

Seeing that Gu Chuanlin was silent, Fu Xiling, who had been sitting there, suddenly scratched his head and asked in a low voice: "Master Gu! Is Brother Li... okay?!"

"Don't worry." Gu Chuanlin retracted his hand and said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with his body. Let him have a good rest."

At this moment, Li Chi was indeed trapped in a dream.

But this dream was not the erotic dream that Wei Li and Hu Di had mentioned, but rather all the memories of the more than ten years since he entered the Juyun Sect - or it could be said that it was all the memories of his short life in his previous life.

……

The first heavy snow fell quietly, hiding the Juyun Sect stationed at the foot of the Five Pillars Peak in a pure white world.

"so cold!"

Young Li Chi rubbed his palms while walking quickly in slippers on the smooth snow. The cold moonlight sprinkled on his thin body, casting an equally thin black figure on the snow.

Although the toilet was not far from the dormitory, on a windy winter night, even an adult could hardly withstand the biting cold.

"Squeak!"

Finally arriving at their residence, Li Chi pushed open the door and jumped onto the bed as if escaping for his life. He slid into Qi Luoxing's quilt as nimbly as a big loach in the mud, then covered the two quilts together, shaking all over.

Qi Luoxing couldn't help but shiver because of the cold air he brought, but he didn't move away from him. Instead, he moved closer, trying to warm up Li Chi.

In the huge room, there was a long row of beds, on which were crammed more than a dozen children, all of whom looked to be about ten years old.

On both sides of the bed, you can see two slender copper candlesticks, with two candles lit on them, emitting a dim light.

Although it was completely dark at this moment, it was actually only quarter past three in the afternoon. Most of the children were not sleepy yet, but because the weather was too cold, they were hiding in their quilts, chattering about something.

Sleeping next to Li Chi and Qi Luoxing was a young man who looked a little older.

He didn't seem to feel the cold. He was only wearing a thin coat and was leisurely lying on the couch, flipping through the book in his hand.

Seeing Li Chi shivering from the cold, the young man closed the book, propped up his chin and grinned, "Our sect is located in a valley, and we don't see the sun all year round. It's winter now, so it's normal to be a little cold. However, once you learn how to draw the energy into your body and have the spiritual energy to protect you, you won't feel cold anymore."

"Drawing Qi into the body?! What does it mean to draw Qi into the body?!" Li Chi was a little curious.

He and Qi Luoxing have only been here for a few days and are still in the theoretical learning stage.

However, it is called theoretical learning, but in fact it is just memorizing the "Thousand Character Classic" and mastering some daily words.

"Inducing Qi into the body is the first step in our formal practice. However, since you are new to the sect, you should focus on learning to read. Only by laying a solid foundation can you go further on this path."

“However, I heard that both of you have top-grade single spiritual roots, so it would be easy for you to enter the mortal realm.”

"Once you break through from the Mortal Realm to the Mysterious Valley Realm, you can leave here and enter the Inner Court. You will then have a separate residence and be able to learn the most authentic secret techniques of the sect. However, by that time, we may not be able to meet each other."

"Wow..." Li Chi nodded, not quite understanding, with a look of admiration on his face, "Senior Brother Bai Xin, you know so much!"

The boy called Bai Xin felt a little embarrassed when he was stared at, and his face instantly turned red. "I just came here two years earlier, so I know more. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me."

Li Chi grinned, "Thank you then!"
