Pick up a dragon cub to farm

Hearing this, the man fell silent, and his dark eyes dimmed inch by inch.Nan Zuo secretly thought it was bad, and was about to change the subject with some guilt, but Wen Yuren spoke up.

"Yesterday, Dongfang Shun secretly bewitched you with a spell and took you to the mountains and forests. Do you remember this?"

"Hmm... remember a little vaguely." Nan Guo nodded, blushing a little guilty.In order to seek help for Wen Yuren, he found Dongfang Shun and came to his door, but he was unconsciously confused by the other party and abducted into the deep mountains and old forests.

"But... I really had to do it yesterday. If Benlong doesn't ask him for help, he won't be able to carry you home by himself." Nan Guo whispered, "My er, what is Dongfang Shun trying to do? He stunned Benlong twice and tried to sneak him away."

Wen Yuren replied: "He wants the Baiyue Spirit Flower."

"Ah?" Nan Guo was taken aback, "Hundred Moon Spirit Flower? It is a magical fairy grass that can allow ordinary people without spiritual roots to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation? But isn't he a Taoist cultivator of Qingyun Temple? How could he need such a thing?"

"Dongfang Shun wants to take the so-called 'shortcut' and rely on the power of foreign objects to quickly achieve results."

Nan Zuo was thoughtful, "In the Shenlong Valley, we dragons would also eat the spirit flowers and fairy grass growing in the valley to replenish our physical strength. Benlong believes that some aids can be used for cultivation, but the main thing is to rely on one's own talent and strength. accumulation."

"Although I don't rely on fairy herbs and elixir to practice myself, I will not object to other people using them." Wen Yuren said, "It's just that what Dongfang Shun and the others eat is not ordinary celestial herbs and elixir. It is an unknown substance with unknown effects. Regardless of whether it can help people practice, I oppose the blind and hasty use of these herbs when the side effects are not clear. For example, Baiyue Linghua."

"My errand, I've always felt this way..." Nan Voo said in a low voice, "In the mountains near Xizhuang, there is a lot of aura, but at the same time there is also a lot of yin, and there is always a feeling of coolness and discomfort. a feeling of."

"If you guessed right, there should be a secret path leading to the Demon Realm deep in the mountain or underground."

"Secret passages?"

"Well. The secret road connects the Demon Realm and the territory of Qingguo, and transmits the ominous aura of the Demon Realm to the dense forest of Qingguo's mountains. Therefore, such a mixed environment is formed where spiritual energy and yin energy coexist, and spiritual beasts and fierce beasts co-exist."

Wen Yuren looked stern, "If the environment in the mountain is really like this, then the Baiyue Spirit Flower growing here will inevitably be polluted by the devilish energy and produce some kind of abnormal change."

Nan Zuo understood what he meant: "In that case, even if the Baiyue Spirit Flower is really a fairy grass, it may change its characteristics because of being contaminated with magic energy, and it may even be harmful to people." He rolled his eyes, "So, Did my second one get kicked out of the sect because of preventing them from using the elixir?"

"This matter is related to the fairy grass." He said, "Two years ago, Dongfang Shun and other brothers in the same school wanted to obtain a kind of fairy grass called 'Wave Light', but the location of the fairy grass is a dangerous place. The wilderness is occupied by countless ferocious beasts and raptors, none of them can break through the obstacles and obtain the celestial grass."

"Among my peers in Qingyun Guan, my cultivation level is the highest. So they asked me to join in and help, and promised to give me a share of the herbs after the matter was completed. I refused, but the brothers in the same sect were very dissatisfied and thought that I It is deliberately not to let them get the fairy grass, so as not to be surpassed by them in terms of cultivation achievements."

Wen Yuren sighed, "Out of the friendship of the same family and the thoughtful consideration of protecting my brothers and sisters, I finally agreed to their request, and went into the dangerous situation alone to fetch the celestial grass for them. As for the end..."

He pointed to his face.

Blood red eyes and white hair. "That's it."

Nan Zuo was shocked: "So... when you were fetching the fairy grass that time, you were attacked by a ferocious beast and poisoned by the blazing light, and you became this white-haired and red-eyed look?"

"Hmm." He nodded.

"Not only that. The fairy grass that I worked so hard and almost lost my life to get back did not bring the ideal effect to my fellow disciples." He said in a deep voice, "I didn't know at that time that in such a fierce environment The aura of the fairy grass that grows from the ground has long been polluted and no longer pure. The brothers who ate the fairy grass ignorantly contracted strange diseases of varying severity, and they blamed all of this on Blame it on me."

Wen Yuren sighed, "Thanks to my master. He raised me up and loved me very much. After the incident, he rescued me from the verge of being poisoned to death, and tried his best to save me for the immortals who ate me. Cao's seniors are looking for a solution. Regarding the matter of Xiancao, he didn't blame him too much, but hoped that his seniors would remain calm, learn a lesson, and not make this matter public, let alone spread the bad influence to the entire Qingyun View."

"Master tried his best to remedy all this. However... just when the limelight of the matter was about to pass, something happened."

"One day, Dongfang Shun suddenly disclosed the 'truth' of my brothers' illnesses to the entire Qingyun Temple. He blamed me for the strange diseases of my brothers, claiming that I deliberately stole the poisonous herbs Tricked brothers and sisters into taking it, causing them to have strange diseases."

"As soon as the incident happened, the Taoist sect was shaken. The sect was full of enthusiasm, and I became the target of thousands of people for a while."

"A few days later, regardless of Master's pleading, the head announced that I would be expelled from Qingyun Temple."

Nan Zuo looked at him in shock, "I... my two..."

His palms were cold, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

"Dongfang Shun... why did he do this?"

Thinking of how he still trusted that tall man before, and even asked him to help Wen Yuren, Nan Zuo felt extremely uncomfortable.He held onto the skirt of his clothes tightly, tremblingly, "Could it be that he had a feud with you before, so he didn't hesitate to add insult to injury and asked you to be taken advantage of, a scapegoat?"

"Dongfang Shun's mind is so complicated that it's difficult for people to see through." Wen Yuren said lightly, "Before that incident happened, I was also deceived by his apparent straightforwardness. He is also friendly and friendly. He has ordinary talent and a competitive temperament, so he is extremely eager to use the fairy grass and elixir to assist his cultivation. The idea of ​​letting me go to the secret realm to snatch the wave light fairy grass was also thought of by him."

"However, the shimmering grass was later proved to be a poisonous weed. Not only could it not improve the aura, but it would also breed strange diseases. He was probably afraid that he would be responsible for the illnesses of his brothers, and he was also worried that the master would not allow them to use it anymore. The unknown fairy grass put all the blame on me. At the same time, the other sick brothers also had nowhere to vent their anger, and I, who gave them the fairy grass with my own hands, was the best way to vent their anger object."

"He... is too much!"

Nan Zuo blushed in shock and clenched his fists.Everything he heard in his ears was beyond what a dragon could bear. He was so angry that he had countless things to say in his heart, but he couldn't utter a single word.

That's how it turned out... When Nan Zuo didn't know about all this before, Nan Zuo even questioned why Wen Yuren treated Dongfang Shun like that.Now that he has learned the truth, he can't help but recall Dongfang Shun cheerfully calling Wen Yuren "junior brother" again and again, how ironic these two words sound to a man's ears.

Nan Zuo's mood was complicated, and even a trace of coolness leaked from the bottom of his heart.

People can have two sides, or even many sides.Dongfang Shun presents the most sunny and straightforward side, but deeply hides the darkest and cunning side.Only when the closest person is least aware of it, he stabbed himself cleanly in the back.

Compared with Chen Erping, who is bad on the surface, and Xiao Kangzi, who is soft and cowardly, this kind of person is often more terrifying.He pretended to be a good person in the sun, but he smiled grinningly in the dark and showed his sharp teeth when others were not prepared.

Times have changed, two years have passed, Wen Yuren was finally forced to leave the school where he was born and grew up, and came to live alone in a strange countryside.Seeing the unconcealable sadness in the man's dark eyes, Nan Voo didn't know how to comfort him, so he walked up to him with a "woo" and hugged him.

Buried her face in the man's chest, Nan Voo hugged him tightly.

"Dongfang Shun is such a bad guy!"

Wen Yuren sighed lightly.How can one word "bad" cover all kinds of people's attitudes?

"Okay, whether it's good or bad, it's over." He patted Nan Guo's shoulder lightly and warned, "Dongfang Shun is also living in Xizhuang now, you have to be careful—his purpose is not only for Baiyueling flower."

"Huh? This..."

"He has repeatedly mentioned your 'dragon soul is strong'. Nanzuo, you should understand in your heart that as a precious pterosaur, you have plenty of spiritual energy in your body, which can be called a treasure house of rich spiritual energy. Such a dragon cub, for those who practice Taoism For me, it’s an excellent tonic…”

tonic……

Nan Zuo's body shook violently, and his eyes widened for a moment.

"He is a person who does anything for the sake of cultivation. It is conceivable that he came to Xizhuang for a special trip. If he didn't get what he wanted and could help him take the 'shortcut', he would not just leave like this. "Wen Yuren said, "He can lure you into the mountains and forests today, but he might kill you tomorrow."

"He obviously looks like a good person, but he didn't expect to have so many spoiled intestines." Nan Voo mumbled softly, "And Wu Er, others say that you look like a scary monster, but you are not a bad person."

"Most villains in the world don't write their true thoughts on their faces... except for a fool like Chen Erping." Wen Yuren poked his nose half-jokingly, "Nothing is courteous, it's either adultery or robbery. Xiaolong cubs don't want to see If others treat you well, trust them without thinking. Otherwise, you will be deceived miserably."

Nan Guo looked at him timidly and shivered.

"Nan vortex, you live a safe and secure life in Shenlong Valley, why did you join the world?" Feeling the soft body of the young man in his arms, Wen Yuren asked the question he had always wanted to know, "You are now in a situation where you are surrounded by enemies. , Have you ever thought of regretting it?"

regret?Just as Nan Guo was about to open his mouth, Wen Yuren put up a slender finger and gently blocked his lips.

"Nanzuo, think about it. The human world is far more dangerous than the Shenlong Valley where you grew up. When you come to this world, it is no different from a piece of Tang monk meat that fell into the demon world. You will be coveted."

Monk?Nan Vortex blinked his eyes.

Who is Tang Seng, and what is Tang Seng meat?

"I'll teach you to read some books when I have time." Wen Yuren turned his head and looked at the distant fields.

"Well... I'm busy talking. You see, the queen bee is already recalling the bee colony. Let's follow her to the neighboring village and ask the beekeeper to settle the bill."

The ones who came to Wen Yuren and Nanuo fields to gather honey were not ordinary bees, but a strange beast called "Lao Feng".They are extraordinarily diligent, uniform in action, and more disciplined than ordinary bees.Wen Yuren and Nan Guo followed them out of the village and came to another nearby village.

There, Nan Zuo watched the labor bees bring nectar into the hive.The beekeeper surnamed Feng put down the mahjong in his hand, put on a straw hat from the house, ran out cheerfully, and greeted Wen Yuren: "Master Wen!"

At a glance, he saw a strange and handsome young man with the white-haired man behind him, his eyes turned out to be a rare jewel-like light blue, and he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Ah? Daoist Wen, this is..."

"My younger brother lives with me. He also has a share of the nectar collected by the labor bees today." Wen Yuren took over the conversation naturally, "Master Feng, the labor bees are very diligent in collecting honey today. In good shape."

"Well, it's thanks to their hard work." Master Feng smiled and shook his head, "The flowers around here are all average this year, and the bee colony hasn't found a job for a long time."

Wen Yuren was startled, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Master Feng, how could this be?"

"Alas..." Master Feng sighed, "Luck is bad recently. In previous years, spring and summer were the time for harvesting nectar, and the bee colonies at home were almost overwhelmed. As a result, the flowers in the surrounding mountains this year are not growing well. Well, the quality of the nectar has plummeted, and the laboring bees have lost interest in collecting honey, and most of the time they sleep late at home."

"This year..." Wen Yuren heard these two words, thoughtfully.

"Come, Daoist Wen, and this little brother, come in and sit down." Master Feng beckoned them to enter the house.There were several other beekeepers sitting at the door of his house. They had just finished playing a game of mahjong and were chatting in the courtyard.It seems that this year is indeed a bad year, and the beekeepers have nothing to do, and they are all in a panic.

Nan Nuo looked curiously at the mahjong cubes on their table, and quietly asked Wen Yuren: "What are those cubes?"

"It's mahjong, a kind of card game." Seeing him asking this, Wen Yuren couldn't help feeling a little funny. "Nanvortex can't play this too much, it's easy to get addicted to it."

"Hmm." Nan Zuo nodded with a half understanding.Afraid of being bewitched, he didn't dare to look at the fascinating "square" any longer, and followed the man into the house.

After that, Master Feng settled the deposit for them.After the worker bees have brewed the nectar, they will pay the rest according to the weight.Before leaving, the kind beekeeper took out two cans of home-brewed nectar and forced them to Wen Yuren.

The man saw that his market was not doing well this year, so he didn't want to accept it, but Master Feng stubbornly wanted to give it to him: "Don't be too polite, Daoist. If it weren't for your flower fields still growing lushly, we really wouldn't have much profit this year. You don't have much money for this nectar. Take it back and drink it, and give it to Brother Qiao."

He looked at Nanwo, admired and smiled: "This baby is really juicy, drinking honey is good for the skin."

Being praised by a stranger again, Nan Zuo's fair face turned red.He thanked Master Feng for his kindness, and walked out of his room with two jars of honey in his arms.

"Now, we have nectar again." On the way home, Nan Guo said happily to Wen Yuren, "After returning, Benlong will go to the mountains to pick some wild fruits. Let's go to Fengjian Town to continue selling juice tomorrow! "

Wen Yuren shook his head lightly: "Nan Zuo, you can't go to town yet."

"Ah?" Why?

"Did you forget what happened the day before yesterday so quickly? You are not spiritual enough, and you almost showed your true form in the town." Such a little dragon cub, even if he went to the town, he would expose his life in public.Wen Yuren reminded, "Currently, you are not cultivated enough to use secret techniques while maintaining your human form. If you go back rashly, if you accidentally turn back into a dragon cub, you may be arrested again."

Thinking of this, Nan Zuo's head drooped.Indeed, he still can't use the secret method freely after taking shape, and acting hastily will only drag Wen Yuren down again.

"Ah... After that, Benlong can't even go to town?"

Seeing his downcast appearance, Wen Yuren made up his mind and suggested: "Why don't you practice hard at home for a while. After you can take care of transformation and secret techniques, we will go to the town to do business."

"Cultivation..." Nan Zuo looked up at the sky in a daze, "the aura in the village is far less abundant than in the mountains. It's too slow to stay in the village and practice..."

Wen Yuren thought for a moment, and came up with a compromise: "As a dragon, your cultivation will naturally slow down in crowded places. Why don't you take this opportunity and try the human race's cultivation method."

Nan Zuo was taken aback.The human race's way of cultivating Taoism, I don't think I think...? !

Back home, Wen Yuren really dragged out the small box under the bed.Nan Zuo knew that this box was full of all kinds of instruments used by men to cultivate in Taoist temples, but they were all his treasures.

Wen Yuren bent down, found an old book from the dusty box, and handed it to Nan Guo.The young man took it nervously, with his eyes wide open, struggling to read the handwriting on the cover of the ancient book.

"Qing...Qing Shui Sheng?"

Wen Yuren was stunned.

Nan Zuo pointed to the large characters on the cover, and raised his head tremblingly, "My errand, this...is this Qing Shui Sheng?"

The man swallowed, and held his forehead with some headache: "It's the 'Still Water Classic'."

Nan Zuo looked down at the pages of the book, his face blushed.

Wen Yuren was also a little disturbed.He originally wanted to lend Nan Guo the basic exercises of Taoism that he had practiced, but he forgot a very important point - Nan Guo couldn't even read all the characters, and he could only read half of them.

That being the case, how should the little dragon cub read the scriptures and learn to practice?

The man took off the bamboo hat and put it aside, and brought the Jingshui Jing back.The book is very old, but it is still well preserved.

Wen Yuren flipped through the scriptures on his cultivation and enlightenment page by page, gently rubbing his fingertips on the old pages, and then caught a glimpse of Nan Voo with his head down, looking embarrassed, but changed his mind when he reached his mouth.

"Okay, don't worry." He pulled the slender boy to his side and sat down. "It doesn't matter if you can't read. I'll read it to you."

"Read?" Nan Voo looked at him in surprise.How long do you want to read that thick scripture?

"Don't be in a daze, turn back into a dragon cub and sit cross-legged on the bed." Wen Yuren gently pushed him onto the couch, and opened the first page of Jingshui Jing.

"From now on, I will read a sentence, and you will remember a sentence, so you must concentrate on listening."

"Woo." Nan Zuo knelt on the bed.He wanted to say something, but Wen Yuren had already started to read according to the handwriting he couldn't understand, and he also returned to the original shape of the dragon cub, meditating obediently with his legs crossed, his hands clasped together, sending the spiritual energy in his body to the meridians all over his body.

Afterwards, the young dragon slowly absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside world into his body according to the hints from the scriptures.

Wen Yuren's voice was deep and pleasant.His tone didn't fluctuate much, and his speaking speed was just right, making Nanwo's ears tingle comfortably.

On the bed, Xiaolong cub closed his eyes and listened attentively.It is immersed in the realm surrounded by bits of aura and integrated with the natural essence.The tip of the tail swayed slightly with the fluctuation of the aura, and the crown of the head stood upright.

Wen Yuren was a little surprised to see that Nan Zuo was able to learn the Taoism of the human race so quickly.

This little dragon is really talented.

The man smiled lowly, and slowly poured pure aura into the back of Nanvortex to help it dredge its spiritual veins.One person and one dragon exhale and breathe at the same pace, gradually moving towards the harmony of life...
