Dawn has just broken, and the gray-white sky is gradually dyed with a touch of color by the morning glow. Misty clouds and mist rise and fall in the mountains. Everything wakes up, and birds chirp and insects chirp.
Liu Qinghuan was walking under the purple-marrow sycamore tree. Her outer robe was slightly moistened by the morning dew, and the hem of her clothes was stained with mud. She was holding a freshly picked green lotus in her hand.
As soon as I raised my head, I had a panoramic view of the mountains and fields. The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone down, and everywhere was green and evergreen.
He was filled with emotion for a moment and couldn't help but said: "When I first got the map of the Songxi Cave, there was only the mountain at my feet in the picture. I never thought that a small cave would become bigger and bigger, until it became more and more vast.
With the sun and moon, it seems like a small world."
Looking at the green lotus in his hand, he sighed again: "It's a pity that it ends here. The Hunyuan Lotus has grown up and can no longer expand the territory for me."
With a head stretched out, the Maihun doll wanted to touch the light blue lotus petals with a curious look on its face, but Liu Qinghuan glanced at it and took back his hand in a hesitant manner.
"Stingy!" he muttered. Seeing Liu Qinghuan carefully putting the Hunyuan Lotus into a special wooden box, he couldn't help but ask: "Without this lotus, wouldn't the cave sky be able to expand any more?"
"No more."
"Then why are you looking for another Hunyuan Lotus?"
Liu Qinghuan silently gave him a chestnut, turned around and walked towards other medicinal fields down the mountain.
"What do you think Hunyuan Lotus is? You can find it if you want it? It all depends on whether there is a chance!"
"Your chances are not always very good... okay!" The doll shrank its head and followed him around.
And behind him was the little boy Qing Lan who had transformed into a purple marrow sycamore tree.
"What are you going to do with that lotus?"
"Find someone to refine it into a magic weapon. You can do more."
"Oh...can't we really find another one?"
"cannot!"
"Then can you find a ginseng fruit tree?"
Liu Qinghuan sighed and said: "The ginseng fruit tree cannot be transplanted and will not survive."
The baby raised a squinting eyebrow and said in a very unhappy tone: "You watered this piece of land yesterday, so today you need to water the piece of Thousand Days Golden Grass next to it!"
"..."
"Also, this scarlet-blood treasure tree is more than ten feet tall. Chu Yi said it can be cut down. The leaves and fruits can be used to make elixirs, and the wood can also be used to make weapons or make furniture. Can we make a set?"
"……Um."
"I went out to play with Qing Lan a few days ago, and we met a big white-fronted tiger with an eye-catching look. It wanted to eat us both, so I beat him away!"
"..."
"There is a group of golden-feathered cranes living in the swamp to the west. I stole a nest of their eggs and cooked them. They are delicious. Do you want to try them?"
The veins on Liu Qinghuan's forehead throbbed a few times. The noise from the Pulse Soul Doll gave her a headache along the way, and she finally couldn't help but shouted: "Shut up!"
The doll snorted and pointed at the fairy grape vines that covered the entire mountain wall: "I just want to tell you that the dark green gourd suddenly sprayed out a thunder two days ago, and almost killed Qinglan! Be careful.
, don’t get hacked to death too!”
Liu Qinghuan ignored him and looked at the silent young boy beside him.
Qinglan quickly explained: "I was not careful! I was passing by here that day, and the gourd suddenly struck a thunder, which scared me to death!"
"Be careful in the future, don't get too close." Liu Qinghuan warned, raising his hand, the energy of the green wood turned into rain and dew, falling on the fairy gourd vine.
The green leaves among the vines swayed, revealing a dark green gourd with natural mysterious patterns.
"This gourd is about to mature. It looks like it has a thunder attribute. It is very powerful. You should not go near this mountain wall in the future."
I walked around and watered all the fairy trees and grass on Daqing Mountain. This is something Liu Qinghuan has done every few days in seclusion over the years.
Returning to the small courtyard on the mountain, I washed my hands next to the spiritual spring. I looked at the doll who turned around and ran away, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
He knew why the doll had been acting strangely recently, but as a soul with spiritual veins, he had an extremely long lifespan and did not understand that birth, old age, illness and death were the destiny of the human world.
Liu Qinghuan walked to a closed door and knocked: "First grade of junior high school."
After a while, the door opened. Chu Yi's face was covered with a veil, but the exposed corners of his eyes could not hide the fine lines.
She did not dare to look at Liu Qinghuan, lowered her head and said: "Master, you are back!"
"Today's sunrise is beautiful, do you want to come out and have a look?" Liu Qinghuan asked.
Chu Yi evadedly said: "Master, I am sorting out the warehouse account books and the rosters of various clans in Dongtian over the years..."
"I'll do that later, I want to talk to you!"
"I……"
"Do you plan to hide in the house from now on and never come out?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Liu Qinghuan sighed and took out a pill bottle.
"There are three life-extending pills here. Originally, one pill can increase your life span by about a hundred years, but you have already taken similar pills before, so..."
"Master, no need!" Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "Whether it is a life-extending pill or a life-enhancing pill, it is of no use to me. Master, please don't worry about me, just leave it like this..."
She took a deep breath and pulled off the veil suddenly: "Actually, I have accepted it, but I am just a little, a little sad that I can no longer be with my master..."
Two lines of clear tears fell down, and the face revealed was no longer young, as if a night of wind and frost had destroyed the beautiful face and beauty.
After taking the Dingyan Pill on the first day of the new year, once the appearance becomes uncontrollably old, it only means that the lifespan is about to end.
To be honest, with the talent of a freshman in junior high school, it is extremely rare to live as long as he does now.
Liu Qinghuan could not help but feel sad. No matter how high his cultivation level, how powerful he was, and how powerful he was in the entire world of immortality, there was still nothing he could do when the spiritual beast that had been with him for most of his life was about to expire.
"Now that that's the case, for the rest of the day, don't worry about things in the cave. Come out with me. Then you can go wherever you want."
Chu Yi shook his head and said: "I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay in a familiar place for the next few years. What's more, there are still many things to arrange in Dongtian. Has the master decided who will take care of it in the future?"
Speaking of this matter, Liu Qinghuan also said seriously: "What do you think?"
"How about choosing a suitable person from the Shuixiu Clan?"
"Do you already have someone in mind?"
Chu nodded and said: "Yes, the Shuixiu clan is devoted to their master. Over the years, they have also tried their best to help the master manage the spiritual fields outside. There is no need to worry about their loyalty..."
Liu Qinghuan said thoughtfully, "What do you think of the doll?"
"Ah?" Chu Yi was stunned: "But the doll can't come out of the cave!"
Dongtian has a lot of products that need to be sold, so it needs to be in contact with the outside world from time to time.
"He doesn't need to go out of the cave, he only needs to take care of Daqingshan." Liu Qinghuan said: "I plan to let the cave run on its own in the future. Except for Daqingshan and the nearby medicine garden, other places will be managed by the Shuixiu tribe. As for other tribes,
Just turn over a certain amount of resources every year!”
