Chapter 55: Their own cultivation
The master and apprentice were breathing, as if they were tired and needed to take a break for a while until the headmaster thought it was appropriate, and the thin palm stretched out from the cuffs, and a small kingfisher with green feathers appeared in the headmaster's hand.
"You don't have much time. In addition to working overtime to practice, you also need to learn and master many things on the mountain. Thank you for your hard work, children."
"Don't you feel the hard work of the disciple." Chen Fei and Shao Baiyu bowed and bowed.
"You know whether it's hard or not, and I just need you to persevere."
"The disciple will definitely not be disgraceful to the master's order." The two bowed again.
The head teacher held the kingfisher with one hand and pointed at it with the other hand and said, "Do you know what this is?"
Shao Baiyu frowned and said nothing. Chen Fei saw the reed tube tied to the kingfisher's claws and said, "Is it a message?"
The head teacher's expression changed and he thought to himself: This kid is more smart.
Looking at Shao Baiyu, seeing that he didn't feel embarrassed to be stolen by his brothers, he said immediately: "The Kingfisher is a messenger that can only be used by the head of Shushan. Its function is similar to that of a carrier pigeon, but it represents the supreme kindness of being the head of the sect."
"There is a clear level distinction between the use of messengers on the Shu Mountain. Only the head of this sect uses kingfisher to send messages. The main peak master and my junior brother Yun Lie are only allowed to use red-headed pigeons to send messages. Other peak masters and disciples of the main peak are only allowed to use white-headed pigeons to send messages. Such strict regulations are for the recipient to facilitate the difference between the level and importance of the letter and the response accordingly.
Generally speaking, when I use Kingfisher to pass on the letters thousands of miles, it proves that one big thing happened, and Qianshan in Shu must obey the orders. And I will not do this easily. Most of the important letters in Shushan are sent by you, as disciples."
Bai Yu asked: "Master, are we both using red-headed pigeons to deliver letters?"
"No." The head sect replied. "The letters conveyed by the head disciple are as important as those conveyed by the head personally. It requires the use of arrow-tailed swallows to ensure safety. That's it."
The leader's other hand flipped upwards. One of them was not big but had sharp claws and sharp eyes, and his tail-cut swallow appeared in his palm. To be honest, he looked more domineering than a kingfisher.
"Most of the head disciples are sending messages on behalf of Shushan, so they need to use a sharp-tailed swallow that is aggressive and cannot be disobeyed. As the leader of the sect, the real person of the head often needs to use both kindness and power, and cannot act arbitrarily, so they use faster and relatively less aggressive kingfisher." The head teacher continued, "The breeding and cultivation of messengers has always been entrusted to the Taoist boys on the mountain. If you need it, you can find a housekeeper at any time. However, you have different identities now, and you must have such a close messenger, accompanying you day and night, so that you can play a role at any time."
"This tail-cut swallow belongs to Zhongli and cannot be handed over to you. When tomorrow morning, you two will go to Mr. Wang, and I have explained to him clearly that he will take you to the breeding ground to choose one you like. Remember, you must choose one you like, because the tail-cut swallow absorbs spiritual power from the mountains and can survive for more than 20 years. You must spend time with your messenger day and night, cultivate feelings, and do a good job of training in order to play a role at critical moments."
"Disciple, please follow the teacher's order." Chen Fei and Shao Baiyu said together.
The two of them have officially become the head teacher, which means that in addition to daily practice, they also have to come into contact with the mundane affairs in the mountains and share the responsibility of the teacher. At that time, the head teacher was only twenty years old, and took over the position of acting as the head teacher, which is the reason.
"Okay, let's talk about this today. Next, you can practice hard on your own. Just like last night, you can't go back to rest until the fourth day of the day."
"A disciple, please follow the teacher's order." Chen Fei saw the head teacher walking out with a teacup, and his steps were a little staggering. He thought to himself: Sure enough, Senior Brother Zhongli's death has a great blow to Master and the old man. The head teacher taught them to become successful so eagerly, perhaps just to achieve his promise to Senior Brother Zhongli as soon as possible.
The door of the house opened and the evening breeze in the mountains blew in. Chen Fei felt refreshed. Through the back of the head teacher, he looked at the bleak night and the swaying tree waves. At this moment, the thin old man seemed so lonely, vaguely revealing a bit of pity.
"I will respect your master." Chen Fei thought so in his heart.
The head teacher closed the door with his backhand, and the room was in a suffocating silence. Chen Fei suddenly stood up and said to Shao Baiyu: "I'll go outside."
Shao Baiyu nodded, not stopping him.
Chen Fei pushed the door straight out. When he opened it, he was hitting the head teacher standing at the door. He was startled and immediately went to pay homage: "Master."
"Where are you going?" The headmaster's eyes were as fierce as a dry well.
"The disciple is going to practice his own cultivation." Chen Fei answered frankly.
"Have you understood it?"
"I've understood something."
"Then go, remember, don't be lazy." The head sected sideways, making way for him, Chen Fei walked forward, colorful petals fluttering in the wind, circling around him, forming beautiful clothes.
The Qi Xiao, who was guarding the door, may not dare to shout because of the master's aura. It was not until Chen Fei was about to walk away that he jumped and followed. The petal cloud appeared, and Chen Fei and Qi Xiao Xiao clouds floated against the ground, minus the sound of walking, and would not affect the students in their sleep. The master looked at his back and nodded: "Yun Lie is right, you are not a thing in the pool." He turned around and walked into the room, "Bai Yu, there is progress in the Daoxin."
Shao Baiyu stood up and said, "Report to Master, I think I have found my true heart."
“What is it.”
"I am the only one in the world."
"Very good, just practice as I said."
...
Chen Fei left the back garden and went straight up the mountain. When he climbed the mountain, he dispersed the petals and changed to walking. Qixiao was like fish in the water in the forest, and was walking on the flat ground on the rugged mountain road.
The night wind was howling, and what he was looking for was similar to yesterday, and was the seeds of plant buried among the vast mountains. The seeds of plants are soil and water essence, and most of them are medicinal materials. Chen Fei has been immersed in medicine for a long time and has a lot of contact with them. He can easily find them from different locations of different trees one by one.
After finding it, he used the rose-red ordinary brocade wicker that he wanted from Butler Wang to serve.
Qi Xiao was extremely smart. He guessed what he was going to do from Chen Fei's actions and took the initiative to help collect nearby seeds. It was not difficult to find the seeds with their sensitive sense of smell, but when they found them, they brought them over to Chen Fei. This made his efficiency greatly improve.
Something happened during this period, which made Chen Fei look at them with admiration. Walking in the mountains at night, it is inevitable that he would encounter unopposed beasts. Chen Fei had the body of the immortal aura, and he was not concerned about these wild beasts he happened to hit, but Qi Xiao was full of alert. When he met a blind bear, he rushed out fiercely and fought bravely with the blind bear. Although the size difference was huge and he was obviously unable to match, this courage to protect the master was worthy of praise. Chen Fei was afraid that they were injured too much, so he sacrificed the immortal aura and bombed the blind bear away.
After a while, the bag was filled with seeds. Chen Fei felt that he had enough harvest tonight, so he found a clean place and sat down. He picked up one from the bag, threw it in the sky, and held it on his chest: "Dan, alive, Shen, Xin, Geng, Sheng."
With a "puff" sound, the seeds exploded, and the continuous wisteria like snakes grew wildly in the air, but Chen Fei was not satisfied. The mere growth could not meet his requirements. He wanted to control these wisteria to attack other creatures.
Chen Fei held the seal on his chest and kept muttering in his mouth: "Spend and rebirth..." It does work. The wisteria grow very fast, but they just run around without a fixed direction. Chen Fei thought about it, maintained the seal shape, and controlled the direction of their growth and winding with the arc of the swinging of his palms. In a short while, he wrapped the towering tree in front of him.
"Although the winding is not strong enough, it is always a good start." Chen Fei nodded, let go of his sealed hands, and the wisteria wilted immediately, "the endurance is almost there."
Then he searched in the brocade bag for a while, found a seed of a banyan tree, and used the same method to perform the Five Elements Creation Technique. The seed exploded in mid-air, and the exaggerated torso of the banyan tree grew windingly, like an octopus in the deep sea. Compared with the time when wisteria was created, Chen Fei clearly felt that the immortal power in his body was empty. It can be seen that woody plants such as banyan tree consumed more immortal power than herbs of crazi vines.
However, this does not affect the rapid growth of the banyan tree. Although it consumes more immortal power, it is no different from wisteria when controlled. The grown stems have no strength, but they can be wrapped in the direction they control.
"Very good." Chen Fei, who was pregnant with the golden body of a boy, breathed slightly. He finally realized how much it was to consume the magic of immortality. He thought to himself: "It seems that the more powerful the plant itself, or the naturally toxic plant, the greater the power it will be when it was created, and it is necessary to search for some in particular."
Chen Fei was full of confidence and continued to run on the mountain, using his understanding of medicinal materials and plants to distinguish the types he needed. Unlike usual, when he was curing diseases and saving people, he looked for non-toxic and medicinal plants, and he wanted to distinguish those poisonous or thick rhizomes that were difficult to cut. After practicing immortality, in order to win in battle, he had to find poisonous and thick rhizomes to eliminate non-toxic plants. Speaking of which, from doctors to immortals, from curing diseases and saving people to butchers, the transformation is really ironic.
Fangba Mountain is a place where fairies gather. Chen Fei couldn't find the poisonous vines and weeds he needed. He was very depressed. Seeing that it was getting dawn again, he decided to go back and rest for a while, and then go to Shanyin to try his luck again. He whistled and greeted Qi Xiao. The little guys scattered in the mountains and forests rushed over from all directions. Chen Fei walked forward and they followed behind. Unlike when he first went up the mountain, the little guy followed Shen Fei the day before, and he didn't dare to take a moment. Left behind. Today, because they have a better understanding of the environment in the mountains and forests, and as Chen Fei walked a long distance and spread the smell, they are no longer so afraid. They are patrolling around while walking, either climbing up to look far, waiting for an opportunity, or being alerted. The seven little guys each have their own postures and their own strengths, but one thing has not changed, that is, they are very much like bodyguards guarding Chen Fei, and their consciousness of protecting the master is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
Back at the roof of Xuanqing Palace, this has become the bed that Chen Fei and Shao Baiyu are used to. Before Shao Baiyu arrived, Chen Fei thought to himself: He should work harder. His eyelids are so heavy that they fell asleep in a short while.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Shao Baiyu lying on his side. Bai Jun's face was clearly visible. Chen Fei shook his head. He thought to himself that he had been too tired these two days and had no alert at all. He had no idea when Bai Yu came here. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he probably was exhausted. Without disturbing him, he jumped down the eaves to the Xuanqing Palace.
The Qi Xiao had already lay down beside him. Last night, they seemed to have not been asleep. They jumped off the eaves with Chen Fei, opened their mouths, raised their tongues, and smiled like an angelic smile. The tail was shaking hard, probably because they were hungry. When Chen Fei walked to the canteen, the dishes had almost been eaten. Butler Wang greeted him warmly, saying that he had specially left a breakfast for him and Shao Baiyu. Chen Fei thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate to enjoy the privileges just after formally becoming a disciple, so he refused and asked Mr. Wang to help feed Mr. Wang. Butler Wang did not force it, and brought the fragrant meat and rice to the Qi Xiao. The little guys rushed forward, and cleaned the food on the plate like a wind storm.
Chen Fei walked into the canteen by himself, but there was still no trace of Leng Gongyue and Nalan Ruoxue. He frowned slightly and sat in the seat next to Mo Junru. The latter noticed him early in the morning. Seeing his eyes kept looking into the corner, he was angry and scolded: "If you miss him so much, go find someone, why are you here to have a meal or something?"
"You can talk nonsense." Chen Fei snorted unhappily, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and pulled the few leftover dishes on the plate into the rice bowl. He was tired all night yesterday and felt it was particularly fragrant when he smelled the food. Chen Fei couldn't control the etiquette anymore. He cleaned the battlefield like a storm and swept the remaining dishes on the table.
Mo Junru looked at him contemptuously and said, "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"
"I'm really hungry." Chen Fei responded to her whimperingly, because her mouth was filled with food. Suddenly, he remembered the commander's instructions yesterday, and looked at Butler Wang again. He saw him secretly taking out the waxed meat strips from his sleeve and feeding them to Qi Xiao, as if he was pleasing them. He grinned: "Butler Wang is really good at doing things."
"Even the dogs around you are not spared, this method is amazing." Mo Junru also saw this funny scene and muttered in a low voice, "To put it, this is what makes one person a man ascend to heaven."
Chen Fei glanced at her and said, "At a young age, his thoughts are so dirty. The housekeeper obviously took special care of the seven little cute ones!"
Mo Junru looked at him and said helplessly: "I just discovered that you are really a hypocrite with a good appearance."
Chen Fei thought: Bai Yu was not here, and he was not in a hurry to catch the messenger. At this moment, he slowly withdrew his gaze and continued to stew the food. He didn't let go of a few rotten leaves on the plate with the soup.
Seeing that he was eating so delicious, Mo Junru was obviously full but was a little hungry.
In the past two days, Yue and Nalan Ruoxue did not come to class in the cold palace of Mingyuefeng; Yin Chaohua, Chaohua, was ill in bed, and the canteen was much cleaner. Chen Fei cleaned the food on the table, and then served a large bowl of clear water egg soup, drank it "Gudong Gudong" clean, wiped his mouth, and was satisfied.
Mo Junru looked at him eating full, and felt a little happy for no reason, and smiled unconsciously. "You are smirking at me." But she didn't want to suffer from Chen Fei's cold eyes because of this, "Wipe your saliva clean, it's so disgusting."
"You big bastard." Mo Junru was furious and punched and kicked Chen Fei.
Chen Fei was scrambling and looked at the canteen door again: Seeing Lei Zongheng squatting next to Butler Wang, teasing Qi Xiao with his fingers like a carrot, and thinking: This guy may really like Qi Xiao.
