After Du Ruo drank a bowl of Yunmeng Fairy Brew, she was overwhelmed by the alcohol and fell into a deep sleep. When Shui Ruyue took Ximen Yushuang, Shen Xiaoyu and others carried her to a dormitory in Hanshan Temple, she was still sleeping soundly. Waiting for her When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Du Ruo called Brother Tang, but it was Shui Ruyue who came over with Shen Xiaoyu. Shui Ruyue smiled and said: "Sister Du Ruo, my husband has gone up the mountain to collect medicine for you! It will take a few days for you to arrive. See him!"

When she heard that Brother Tang was not here, Du Ruo's heart immediately felt empty. Tang Jiusheng had been waiting for her personally these days. Suddenly she heard that Brother Tang had gone up the mountain to collect medicine. This huge psychological gap made her a little confused. Before Tang Jiusheng left, he had already Arrange Shen Xiaoyu to take care of Du Ruo. Since Luo Yu Pavilion won't come to pick up Shen Xiaoyu anyway, she has to have something to do, so her role is that of a maid.

Tang Jiusheng and Luo Yuge had previously agreed that Shen Xiaoyu would not be allowed to leave until the matter of the Great Xia Swordsman Mission was dealt with. However, the Great Xia Swordsman Mission had already returned north, and her father Shen Wentian No one was sent to Tang Jiusheng to negotiate for Shen Xiaoyu, but there was no news at all. Even the entire Luoyu Pavilion had tempered its edge. In the past month or two, there was no news about Luoyu Pavilion in the world, as if it had never existed. Pass.

Shen Xiaoyu had already accepted her fate. At first, she had high hopes, waiting for her father to send someone to replace her. However, as time passed, there was no news from Luoyu Pavilion. Shen Xiaoyu was no longer full of hope. She was disappointed, and finally hopeless and despairing. The people around her were all martial arts masters. She had her acupuncture points sealed, and she couldn't escape or be defeated. What could she do? She could only stay here with peace of mind. Occasionally, Shen Xiaoyu would laugh at himself. , then he agreed to what he said, the young lady’s body is the fate of the maid.

At first, Shen Xiaoyu was worried that Tang Jiusheng would take the opportunity to occupy her, but Tang Jiusheng did not. Shen Xiaoyu thought again that it might be because Tang Jiusheng was too busy. After all, he was as busy as a little bee all day long, flying to the west. Fei Daodong really didn't have time to talk to her, and it would be hard to talk to her when he was free. But after getting in touch with her for a while, Shen Xiaoyu finally understood that Tang Jiusheng was really not interested in her.

There were many girls around Tang Jiusheng, but he was a gentleman and had never coveted her beauty. Moreover, Tang Jiusheng's two wives were much more beautiful than her, especially Du Ruo, who had recently arrived. These days, Shen Xiaoyu watched After seeing Tang Jiusheng's tenderness for Du Ruo, I realized that Tang Jiusheng could love others, but he never took her Shen Xiaoyu seriously.

Shen Xiaoyu felt a little aggrieved again, and began to resent Tang Jiusheng. I am such a beautiful girl, but you ignored me? But how could Tang Jiusheng know the drama in her heart? Even if he knew, he would only smile. Brother is busy, why? I have time to fall in love with you, the killer lady. Are Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang not beautiful enough, or is Miss Du Ruo not gentle enough?

Xiaohanshan Temple has vacated two dormitories. In one room, Du Ruo, Shen Xiaoyu, Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang and little girl Zu Qingqiu live. In the other room, Cheng Zifei, Lu Fangping and Wang Changlong are in charge of protection. Du Ruo and others. Most of the other 40 or so guards lived in tents in front of the temple. Wang Changlong was responsible for training during the day, and ten of them were selected every night to take turns on duty at night. The abbot of the temple, Monk Yuanjue, also sent a dozen monks to patrol regularly every day. Protection. Everyone is afraid of Zhu Tianba’s sudden attack.

At this time, Tang Jiusheng was carrying the Seven Emotions Sword, dry food, water, detoxifying pills, Si Nan and medicinal tools, and had entered the depths of the inaccessible Yunmeng Mountain. Xiao Qing was still following Tang Jiusheng, hovering in mid-air.

Tang Jiusheng met herbal collectors who came down twice on the mountain, and asked them about the possible origins of herbs such as Buxin Yigucao and Mingmu Lotus. As for Tianjuecao, there is no need to ask, many people don't know it.

Even if they knew each other, who would see such a treasure and not quickly pick it up themselves?

Tang Jiusheng is not a professional when it comes to collecting herbs. He just went to Qifeng Mountain behind Heyue Academy twice to collect herbs with his senior sister and second senior sister when he was a child, so he has some experience. Hard work pays off.

The next afternoon, Tang Jiusheng finally found the heart-tonifying and bone-replenishing grass and the poison-removing grass on Anyue Peak in Yunmeng Mountain. Tang Jiusheng became energetic and climbed to the top of Anyue Peak, but there was no trace of Tianjue grass.

Tang Jiusheng was not discouraged. If Tian Jue Cao was so easy to find, would it still be called Tian Jue Cao? Needless to say, the weird monk had traveled all over the country for so many years, looking for famous mountains and rivers and only saw it on Niu'er Mountain, but because of that Tian Jue Cao

It didn't bloom and missed it. Tang Jiusheng put away the heart-tonifying and bone-replenishing grass and the poison-removing grass, called Xiaoqing, tied the herbs to its feet, Xiaoqing fluttered away, and sent the herbs back to Xiaohanshan Temple.

Looking for medicinal herbs during the day, you can often encounter mountain peaches, etc.

Tang Jiusheng picked wild fruits to fill his stomach, and at night he looked for caves or simply rested on trees. On the third day, Xiaoqing flew back and caught up with Tang Jiusheng who was climbing the mountain. People and birds were very happy to see each other.

By the fourth day of going up the mountain, all the dry food he had brought with him had been eaten up, but Tang Jiusheng did not panic. He still had the San Miguel Pill prepared by Brother Xin in his arms. After taking one pill, he could go all day without eating without feeling hungry.

Besides, there are also various wild fruits such as peaches and jujubes on the mountain, so you can have a full meal if you come across them.

In addition, you can catch fish in the mountain stream, and occasionally catch a hare that is delicious when roasted. Tang Jiu Sheng summons Xiao Qing from time to time and shares food with it. Tang Jiu Sheng's clothes have already been scratched by thorns, vines and other plants in the mountains.

, but he didn't mind. He already knew this would be the result before entering the mountain.

Poisonous miasma would rise in some valleys, but Tang Jiusheng had already prepared antidote pills and was not afraid. On the morning of the fifth day, Tang Jiusheng found the herb Golden Fuling. On the sixth day, on the mountainside of Dijue Peak, Tang Jiusheng found another

Another herbal medicine, lotus lotus for improving eyesight, and four auxiliary medicines have been prepared. Tang Jiusheng tied these two medicines to Xiaoqing's legs and asked him to go back and deliver the medicine.

In Xiaohanshan Temple, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang demonstrated sword skills to Zu Qingqiu at the door of the dormitory. Shen Xiaoyu carried Du Ruo, who was blind, to the main hall to worship Buddha. Du Ruo prayed to Buddha to bless Brother Tang to find the herbs as soon as possible and return safely. Zu Qingqiu looked happy and smiled.

The two master wives were practicing their swordsmanship and were watching with great interest when an eagle chirped in the sky. The three of them looked up and couldn't help being overjoyed. It turned out that Xiao Qing was back again.

Shui Ruyue called Xiaoqing down, took off the herbs tied to the eagle's legs, and took Ximen Yushuang and Zu Qingqiu to the Zen room behind the temple to look for the weird monk. Behind the Zen room, there was an open space that Xiaohanshan Temple had vacated.

Used by the weird monk to refine the elixir. I saw the weird monk sitting in front of the alchemy furnace holding a wine gourd, concentrating on refining the elixir. Next to him, a young novice was holding a big cattail fan to fan the alchemy furnace.

Shui Ruyue handed Golden Poria and Mingmu Lotus to the weird monk. The weird monk smiled when he saw the two herbs. Now that the auxiliary medicines are all available, only the main medicine Tianjue Cao is missing. The weird monk gave the two herbs.

He handed the medicine to another young novice and asked him to take the two medicines and deal with them. The young novice agreed, took the two medicines and rushed back to the meditation room.

The weird monk held the wine gourd and drank the Leikou wine with an intoxicated smile on his face. Then he put the wine gourd down and then teased Zu Qingqiu with a smile and said: "Little girl, do you want to consider learning alchemy from the poor monk? The poor monk

I have only accepted half of my disciples in Jiangdong Road. If I don’t find someone to continue my mantle, I’m afraid this unique skill of alchemy will be lost!”

Zu Qingqiu, who was squatting next to the alchemy furnace, shook his head and pouted with a disgusted expression on his face, "Great monk, you make the alchemy every day so bad that even the dogs run away. I don't want to learn from you!" The weird monk had a look on his face.

He looked at Zu Qingqiu with a very hurt expression.

Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang looked at each other, and they laughed. Ximen Yushuang touched Zu Qingqiu's little head with a smile, "Silly boy, do you know how famous this great monk is in the martial arts? Many people

You dare to offend the leader of the martial arts league, but you don't dare to offend this great monk! How many people want to be his disciple, cry and beg him, and are willing to pay thousands of dollars, but he refuses to look at you, and now he wants to accept you as his disciple, you

Do you still dislike him?"

The weird monk nodded and said: "That's right! If the poor monk is willing to accept a disciple, the people who want to be my disciples can be lined up from Xiaohanshan Temple to Yunmeng County! But they all have dull qualifications, and the poor monk can't look down on any of them!"

The poor monk sees that this little girl of yours has a wonderful skeleton, so she is a good candidate to be an apprentice. In fact, your master Tang Jiusheng is not bad either, but it is a pity that he is a prince and does not have time to learn alchemy from the poor monk!"

Zu Qingqiu, who had two little minions on his head, shook his head and curled his lips and said: "If you don't learn, refining alchemy is not fun! Isn't practicing sword much more fun than refining alchemy? Swords can kill people, and they can kill many bad people, so what's the use of refining alchemy?

?You can’t just eat whatever you want!”

The weird monk raised his head, with a smile on his fat face, and said softly: "My child, the knife can kill people and bad people, but the elixir can help the world and save people! If you can make elixirs, you can make detoxification

With the elixir, your master doesn’t have to come all the way here to find me and ask me to save your Madam Du Ruo! In the former dynasty and later the Sui Dynasty, an official named Fan once said: 'If you don't want a good prime minister, do it.

"Good doctor. It's a pity that the poor monk has bad appearance and is not a good doctor. The poor monk only makes elixirs and specializes in treating poisons that even good doctors cannot cure!"

Zu Qingqiu suddenly flashed his big eyes and said seriously: "Great monk, I suddenly respect you a little! My master said that he would deal with those vassal kings who wanted to rebel, and when the world was at peace, he would find a place to live in seclusion and become a

He is a hermit, and he takes his wives to have a lot of precious sons and daughters. The master also said that in fact, he does not want to be an official, but he would like to see the world be peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Great monk, you and my master are really a bit alike!"

This time it was the weird monk's turn to curl his lips, "How can your master be as handsome as me? Really! Little girl, to be honest, do you want to learn the art of preparing medicine and alchemy from the poor monk? I'm not bragging, the poor monk's alchemy skills are very important.

The ability that is unparalleled in the world!"

Hearing the weird monk say that he is handsome, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang laughed together. Zu Qingqiu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Great monk, competing with my master in terms of handsomeness is just like asking my master to compete with you in elixir refining.

! Incomparable! Well, I am really moved after hearing you talk about the benefits of alchemy! But if I want to become a disciple again, I have to get my master’s consent! After all, once a teacher, always a father!

"

The weird monk squinted his eyes and smiled, "I'm not going to teach you martial arts, but do you need to get your master's permission? Your two master wives are right in front of you, why don't you just ask for their opinions?"

Zu Qingqiu looked up at Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang, stretched out his voice and said coquettishly: "Master's Wife and Second Master's Wife!"

Shui Ruyue touched Zu Qingqiu's little head with a warm smile, "Little girl, you can make your own decision on this matter! However, alchemy is very bitter and boring. You have to be able to endure loneliness! It is not easy to find a good master.

Cherish it when it comes!”

Ximen Yushuang also smiled and said: "It's rare that this weird monk wants to accept you as his disciple. It would be good to learn alchemy from him!"

Zu Qingqiu nodded, turned around and said: "Master monk, since my two master wives have agreed, then I will learn alchemy from you! Then do we still have to have a discipleship ceremony?"

The weird monk laughed and said: "Okay, okay! Then quickly kowtow and become a master! My monk doesn't like so many red tapes. If you kowtow, we will have a master-disciple relationship!"

The little novice monk on the side was holding a cattail leaf fan to fan the alchemy furnace with an envious look on his face. He secretly thought to himself, this little girl has a really good life. She was originally the disciple of that prince, and now she has become a disciple of a weird monk! But how did he know that the little girl had a good life?

The girl lost her mother at the age of three and her father at the age of seven. Although her family was extremely wealthy, she was all alone. Many things in the world are like this. You only see the happiness of others, but you don’t know that others also have happiness.

Stomach pain.

Zu Qingqiu, who was wearing a blue jacket and skirt, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the weird monk, "Master is here, please bow to me as a disciple!" Then he said: "In order to separate you, great monk, from my master, starting today I will

I call you Bald Master!" Ximen Yushuang and Shui Ruyue laughed together, this child is so naughty!

The weird monk held the wine gourd and said happily: "Good boy, get up quickly! From today on, you and I are masters and disciples. You go and get a cattail leaf fan now. Master will teach you how to fan the alchemy furnace first!"

Zu Qingqiu got up from the ground and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Bald Master, you don't teach me alchemy, but instead teach me how to fan the flames?"

The weird monk held the big wine gourd, raised his head and took a sip of wine. He closed his eyes and said slowly: "My child, everything must start from the basics. Just like this alchemy, how can you make a good one if you don't master the heat well?"

Where's the elixir? Don't underestimate these most basic things, everything is done bit by bit, just like building a house before laying the foundation!"

Zu Qingqiu nodded in understanding. In fact, the little girl had a little secret. As long as she refined the elixir herself, the master would not have to ask others for help when he wanted to use the elixir!

Deep in Yunmeng Mountain, Tang Jiusheng raised his head and looked at the towering Lingyin Peak of Yunmeng Mountain in front of him, with a smile on his face. When he was washing his face in front of the stream at the foot of the mountain just now, he realized that his face was unshaven, so Tang Jiusheng

I shaved with the Qiqing Sword, washed my face, and caught an unknown fish in the stream. After grilling it, I sprinkled some of my own condiments on it. It tasted really delicious.

After eating the roasted money, Tang Jiusheng sorted out his baggage. The only items in his baggage now were water bladders, detoxifying pills, Si Nan, and medicinal tools.

Tang Jiusheng said to himself: "It's already the seventh day of going up the mountain. In addition to the more than ten days of delay on the way here, more than twenty days have passed. One month is almost here! God,

Have mercy on me, let me meet Tian Jue Cao here and save my sister Du Ruo!"
