Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

The carriage was moving along the winding mountain road, accompanied by the panting of horses and the rolling sound of wheels.

On both sides of the mountain road are rolling green hills.

The trees are green and shady, with wild flowers dotted in between, and white clouds drifting leisurely in the blue sky.

Occasionally you can hear the sound of a gurgling stream or the singing of mountain birds in the distance.

It was Yi Yingluo's first time riding in a carriage. Even though today was her second day, her little face was still filled with smiles.

Xuan Luo looked at her innocent smile and felt that this commission was indeed not difficult. At least this little girl did not have any excessive demands.

When they were hungry, they ate dry food; when they were thirsty, they drank water; when they were sleepy, they leaned against the carriage and took a sleep.

"Xuanluo, how long will it take us to reach Hongdou County?" Yi Yingluo asked with a yawn.

"If nothing goes wrong, we'll be there tonight," Xuan Luo said.

Hongdou County is very close to where the two met, and it only takes two or three days by carriage to get there.

He also didn't expect that the commission of using the demon blood stone as reward would be so simple. It was just to take a little girl to travel around for a while.

However, Yi Yingluo had a lot of topics to talk to him about and many questions to ask him, and the two got along very well along the way.

Question and answer, then extend the topic.

"Xuanluo, can you play mahjong?" Yi Yingluo asked.

"My master taught me, and I played mahjong with my fellow disciples for a while before." Xuan Luo replied.

"So impressive!" Yi Yingluo smiled. "I read the rules of mahjong before I went down the mountain. I couldn't remember many things, especially the winning hand pattern."

Xuan Luo nodded. When Xiandie taught him how to play mahjong, he spent a lot of time memorizing the winning hand patterns.

However, after playing mahjong for a few days, I found that some cards were simply impossible to win with.

It was then that he understood why some cards were so big, it turned out that they were too difficult to win.

"When you first start playing mahjong, you only need to remember a few common winning hand patterns. It doesn't matter if you can't remember those difficult-to-form hand patterns," Xuan Luo said.

When children first start playing mahjong, they will definitely find it difficult, but they will get the hang of it by watching others play.

"So that's how it is. I'll take a look at the rules of mahjong when I have time."

Yi Yingluo glanced out the window, as if she remembered something, and turned to look at Xuanluo.

"What kind of sect is the Hehuan Sect?"

Xuan Luo was sweating profusely, what was supposed to come finally came.

In fact, he had thought about this question on the first day. If Yi Yingluo asked this, how should he answer her?

You can't just tell her directly that the Hehuan Sect is a dual cultivation sect, right?

"The Hehuan Sect is one of the top ten sects, just like your current sect." Xuan Luo replied.

He tried his best to avoid talking about dual cultivation. If the elders of Zixiao Palace knew that he was leading people to popularize the concept of dual cultivation, they would definitely come to invite him for tea.

"Then how do you practice? What is your major?" Yi Yingluo asked curiously.

Daddy told her that most sects would focus on the training of a certain weapon or technique.

The most common sects in the Northern Continent are sword cultivators, while other sects are less common.

Xuan Luo didn't dare to look directly at Yi Yingluo's curious eyes. He looked up at the window and said, "You will know this later. It's not good for children to know too much."

"Your answer is the same as my father's. He didn't tell me about the Hehuan Sect. He said that children shouldn't know too much!" Yi Yingluo said with a pout.

Is it okay to tell this to an eleven-year-old?

Certainly not.

Xuanluo turned his head and looked at Yi Yingluo, and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

The little girl's eyes sparkled and she nodded seriously, "I want to know!"

Xuan Luo lowered his voice and whispered: "Then I will tell you quietly, and you can't tell anyone else."

"Okay!" Yi Yingluo stretched out her slender little finger.

Xuan Luo understood what she meant. When he was a child, he and his master would also make pinky promises like this when they made agreements.

He stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Yi Yingluo's little finger.

"I will never tell anyone else. You told me, otherwise I will swallow a hundred needles!" Yi Yingluo said.

Who taught the kid to make a pinky promise like this, and even to swallow a hundred needles?

"If someone asks you, just say that the storyteller told you." Xuan Luo said.

"Who is the storyteller?" Yi Yingluo asked with her head tilted.

"I'll tell you about this when we get to Hongdou County, and I'll take you to meet the storyteller."

Xuan Luo lowered his voice and continued, "The Hehuan Sect is a sect that practices dual cultivation. Dual cultivation does not mean practicing two weapons, but means men and women sleeping together."

Seeing Yi Yingluo's puzzled expression, Xuan Luo didn't intend to explain too much. This level was still acceptable to children.

As for the specific matters of sexual intercourse between men and women, her parents should tell her when she grows up!

"Do you know about the soul?" Xuan Luo asked.

Yi Yingluo nodded. "The soul is the most important thing for a cultivator. If the soul is damaged, it is very difficult to recover."

Hearing her answer, Xuan Luo continued, "There are two types of dual cultivation. One is sleeping together, and the other is spiritual communication."

He was not in a position to elaborate on sexual intercourse between men and women, but he could still talk about another kind of spiritual connection.

The soul can protect itself and resist interference or attacks from the outside world.

Apart from cultivators who mainly cultivate the soul, generally only cultivators in the fourth realm, the Golden Core Realm, can interfere with the soul of a human or demon. Of course, the prerequisite is that they have a crushing realm.

"The communication of spirit and soul is also a way of cultivation. When cultivation resources are relatively scarce, this method of cultivation is better than meditation and seclusion. However, the communication of spirit and soul should not be too frequent."

Xuan Luo's expression became serious.

"You also know that the soul is the most important thing for a cultivator, but it is also very fragile. The intersection of the soul and the spirit means the withdrawal of the soul's protection. If someone intends to hurt you, your soul will be severely damaged."

"So only the closest and most trustworthy people can communicate with each other. Usually, couples or husbands and wives will do this."

It is not only the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect who can practice spiritual communication. Some cultivators who have Taoist partners also practice this way.

Only two people who are truly capable of risking their lives for each other would use this method of cultivation where their spirits communicate.

After listening to Xuanluo's words, Yi Yingluo nodded, half understanding and half not understanding.

After taking some time to digest the information, she asked again, "Xuanluo, have you ever practiced dual cultivation with others?"

Xuan Luo smiled and shook his head.

Yi Yingluo didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject.

"What kind of monk are you?"

Xuan Luo naturally understood what Yi Yingluo meant, and he took out a white flute from his waist.

The flute body is transparent and bright, as if it were made of glass, and is carved with delicate patterns.

This was a fifth-grade magic weapon given to him by his master when he went down the mountain for the first time to do a commission.

Everyone in the Hehuan Sect knows that the master is a lazy cat. He stays in the wooden house to bask in the sun every day and seldom goes out.

In order to give Xuanluo the flute, Xiandie went down the mountain and did commissions for four months before he collected enough contribution points to exchange it.

"I am practicing the Dao of Sound, or to put it simply, I am practicing sound. This flute is my magic weapon."

Yi Yingluo nodded. There were also some sisters in Zixiao Palace who were music practitioners, but they only played the piano.

"I haven't decided which direction to practice in yet. How about I also learn the Law of Sound?"

Xuan Luo put the flute back to his waist and said, "It's up to you to decide. If you want to learn, I can teach you a little bit."

After all, I am one of the geniuses of the Hehuan Sect, so it should be no problem for me to teach a young cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining.

Yi Yingluo's eyes sparkled, and she said happily, "I want to learn, Xuanluo will teach me!"
