Chapter 25: On the Road

Xu Shuping smiled and said: "No, no, no, get up. That's it for today."

The Taoist boy next to Xu Shuping picked up a small hammer and knocked on the small chime beside him. After hearing three "ding-dang-dang-dang" sounds, everyone in the pavilion stood up one after another and said, "Send me off to the master."

Xiang An followed everyone outside the palace, but Yan Boping was waiting for him outside the palace. Yan Boping glanced at him and said, "An'er, this trip may not be smooth sailing. You must be more careful when you go out for the first time.

.”

"Master, are the demons of the Barbarian Demon Cult really that scary?"

"An'er must not be merciful when you encounter demons from the Demon Sect. After thousands of years of fighting and killing, we and the Demon Sect have long been in a fight to the death. Just because of your status as Taiyi Sect, they will use all kinds of means to deal with you.

." Yan Boping warned worriedly.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely be more careful." Xiang An promised, "Master, I... I'm going to leave in a moment. Junior Sister, please tell Master, please tell Junior Sister." Xiang An said coyly.

"I will tell her where Ming'er is." Yan Boping's tone did not change. He seemed to have always let nature take its course when it came to matters involving Xiang An and Yan Ming, giving people a feeling of complete indifference. "An'er, your realm has improved."

Although it is fast, the experience of fighting against others is still blank. Have you memorized all the secrets of Taoism that I have taught you in the past few days?" Yan Boping asked worriedly.

Xiang An nodded and said, "I have remembered everything, Master."

Yan Boping held his hand on the railing and sighed, "An'er, you must be more careful during this trip. As long as you can come back safely, don't worry about the rest."

Xiang An said hurriedly, "Master, I will definitely be careful."

Seeing Xiang An's confident look, Yan Boping didn't say much. He just straightened out the wrinkles on Xiang An's clothes. After a while, he turned to look at Xiang An and said, "I won't send you off as a teacher. Be careful."

." After saying that, he waved his hand and left through the air.

Xiang An watched Yan Boping in trance until Yan Boping's figure disappeared from the sky.

"Brother Xiang?"

Xiang An was startled and turned around quickly, only to see Zhou Qi standing behind him, and Shen Cheng standing beside Nie Mingyue in the distance saying something.

Zhou Qi said with a smile, "Senior Brother Xiang is really a genius in cultivation. He entered the realm of Yuqing within just a few months." Zhou Qi complimented.

"No matter where you are, it's all luck," Xiang An replied politely.

"Luck is also a part of strength. Senior Brother Xiang's cultivation progress is envied by many people!" Zhou Qi said with admiration.

Just when Xiang An was about to say something, Shen Cheng in the distance waved to the two of them, motioning them to come over.

"Since the leader has arranged for me to be the leader of the team this time, I would also like to ask my three colleagues to cooperate more." Shen Cheng spoke very arrogantly, and immediately regarded himself as the boss of the four of them. "In my opinion, the few of us are now

Just set off and fly directly to Moyang City at the foot of the mountain."

Nie Mingyue was expressionless and nodded blankly to An. Only Zhou Qi said with a smile on his face, "It's just arranged by senior brother."

***

The four people used their zhenqi to fly all the way south. The four of them were all young at heart, and they couldn't help but compete secretly to see who could fly faster, higher, and farther with their zhenqi. The four of them also completely forgot about their respective roles before leaving.

The master's instructions to be careful in everything and preserve your strength are like four flying rainbows flying towards Panlongyuan.

Xiang An first entered the realm of Yuqing and was not familiar with the movement of Qi. At the same speed and high consumption of Qi, it was more than twice that of Nie Mingyue. Within three thousand miles, the Qi in the sea of ​​Qi bottomed out.

, the output of infuriating energy was also intermittent, so he quickly staggered to the ground, staggered, and almost fell.

Nie Mingyue, who had been leading the flight, had no idea. If Zhou Qi hadn't discovered it earlier, the other two would have had to fly dozens of miles to discover it.

Xiang An crossed his legs to make luck, intending to use the urgent need to replenish the true energy in the body. Unexpectedly, the true energy in the body began to move backwards, and the cyclone that originally rotated counterclockwise also began to rotate forward. The true energy in the body was chaotic, and the true energy in the body began to collide in the meridians.

, especially the Shenque, Shenguan and other major acupoints, a lot of Qi had accumulated. Xiang An felt the familiar pain, which made the sweat on his forehead continue to ooze out while he was sitting cross-legged.

"To be able to go out and practice with such a low level of knowledge, you have to have a good master!" Shen Cheng said angrily, "Old Five, can you do it? If not, just go back the way you came, just in time to report to the sect.

Peace, just say we had a safe journey."

Nie Mingyue didn't speak, but looked at Xiang An indifferently. She was a little unsure about Xiang An's identity. Although Murong Lan told her that there should be no other secret correspondents in the Holy Cult except her, she was not guaranteed to be there.

Unexpected secrets.

Only Zhou Qi asked cautiously, "Senior Brother Xiang, what's wrong with you?"

Xiang An endured tremendous pain but did not want to lose face in front of Shen Cheng, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, the energy is gone for a while."

"Senior Brother, how about we rest here for the night?" Zhou Qi suggested cautiously.

Shen Cheng glanced sideways at Xiang An, "It's okay for us men in this wilderness, how can Junior Sister Nie survive with her golden branches and jade leaves? In my opinion, this place is only a hundred miles away from Sheyang City. Junior Sister Nie and I will go first

Go to the city to inquire, and you will wait here for the disciple of the punishment elder. When my fifth junior brother is nursed back to health, you can then go to the city to find me."

"Okay, okay, what senior brother said is true." Zhou Qi nodded quickly.

"No need" came Nie Mingyue's cold voice.

"Junior Sister Nie, it's better to go to the inn in Sheyang City to rest." Shen Cheng was much more patient with Nie Mingyue than with Xiang An.

Without even looking at Shen Cheng, Nie Mingyue found a quiet place and sat on the ground, meditating and regulating her breath.

Shen Cheng felt bored, gave Xiang An a sharp look, and sat cross-legged opposite Nie Mingyue.

"Senior Brother Xiang, just call me if you need anything." Zhou Qi obviously discovered that Xiang An's condition was not that he had exhausted all his energy.

Xiang An nodded stiffly, feeling even more grateful to Zhou Qi in his heart.

This was the first time that Xiang An had to fight this weird situation alone in a sober state. Fortunately, his meridians and acupuncture points were tough enough. For ordinary people, if the true energy flows back, the meridians will be cut off, and he will never be able to practice. In the worst case, the blood vessels all over his body will burst and die.

.

He pushed the cyclone to run clockwise, and endured the pain to drive the stagnant Qi near the acupuncture points into the meridians. It took him two full hours to completely straighten out the Qi. With the last ray of Qi returning to the sea of ​​Qi,

, Xiang An also opened his eyes, and a breeze blew, making him shiver. Only then did he realize that he was already soaked to the skin.

He looked around and found that Shen Cheng, Zhou Qi, and Nie Mingyue had entered meditation and entered a state of cultivation. The energy of heaven and earth nearby also

The three of them were introduced separately. It was seen that the cyclone on Nie Mingyue's Baihui point was the largest and fastest, sucking almost half of the surrounding heaven and earth energy, while Shen Cheng and Zhou Qi were evenly matched.

Xiang An quietly stood up and stretched his muscles, then picked up some dry firewood around him, took out the flint he carried with him, lit a bonfire, and roasted dry food.

Xiang An's movement naturally woke up the other three people, and they all adjusted their breaths to finish.

"Senior Brother Xiang, have you recovered?" Zhou Qi asked with concern.

"I have recovered," Xiang An smiled, "Maybe my cultivation is still shallow and I don't have enough Qi. I have baked some dry food. Do you want a piece of it?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiang." Zhou Qi reached out and took the steamed bun handed over by Xiang An. When he took a bite, he felt the fragrance of milk overflowing. He couldn't help but admired, "Senior Brother Xiang, your steamed bun is much more delicious than the one from the kitchen, isn't it?

Junior sister Yan made it for you!"

"No, no, Xiaoliu brought this to me before I left." Xiang An smiled, and then said melancholy, "I didn't even have time to see my junior sister before I left. I wonder if the master told her that I was going down the mountain.

Get something done."

Hearing that the milk-flavored steamed buns were not made by Yan Ming, Zhou Qi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He said nothing and concentrated on eating.

On the other side, Shen Cheng took out a box of exquisite snacks from his backpack and held it in front of Nie Mingyue like a treasure, "Junior Sister Nie, please try the snacks from Yuelailou in Moyang City."

Nie Mingyue glanced at him, stretched out her delicate hand, picked up a small piece of pineapple cake, and ate it in small bites.

Seeing Nie Mingyue eating the cakes he brought, Shen Cheng was overjoyed. His heart was as sweet as honey, and he was even happier than if he had eaten the cakes himself. "Junior sister, try this again. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is also Yuelailou."

A masterpiece."

Maybe the pastry really suited Nie Mingyue's taste, so Nie Mingyue picked up another piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it.

Shen Cheng stared blankly at Nie Mingyue. Over the years, he didn't know how many times he had seen this charming face that turned all living beings upside down. Every time, his heart was as moved as the first time, "Junior sister Nie, try it again..."

....”

Nie Mingyue did not pick it up from the pastry box. She picked up the handkerchief she carried with her, wiped it, and returned the pastries. "Brother Shen, you can use some too."

"Okay, okay." Shen Cheng picked up the cakes from the pastry box and ate them. Joy almost overflowed from his face. He felt that the wind and the scenery around him were pleasing to the eye, and he even felt that he was looking forward to it.

An is also so pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Qi had obviously seen Shen Cheng's worthless look many times, but he was a little confused when it came to Shen Cheng looking silly and happy at Xiang An, "What's there to be happy about in this wilderness?"

***

Early the next morning, the four of them set out on the road again. This time Xiang An learned his lesson well. He knew that his use of Qi was far inferior to the other three, so he just didn't have the mentality to compete and relaxed.

He used his true energy to support himself and flew southward behind Shen Cheng.

The four of them traveled through the air, and the remaining one thousand miles took only three days. Within three days, Xiang An became familiar with the "basic skill" of cultivation, flying through the air. Even on the last day, he could follow closely.

Flying at the speed of living in Shencheng.
