() The winter night was windy and frosty, and the freezing cold was biting to the bones. Li Ling sat alone in front of the door, looking up at the dark night sky.
Just now, Master Lingji ordered Tianyi to arrange a room for Li Ling. Since he was a disciple of the temple master, he had a separate room. This fact made Li Ling quite satisfied. He was relieved that he had not wasted all those years of working for him.
"Uncle Li Ling, I just saw you here alone, what is there to see here?" Tianyi followed Li Ling's eyes and looked out. Because Tianyi is Qingyi's younger brother, he also has his own private room, and
On the side of Li Ling's room.
"I'm sitting on the stone table, so lovesick!" Li Ling looked back and sighed slightly, feeling sad and confused. In fact, Li Ling didn't think about it himself, but he was thinking about it. Whenever he lay in bed, there was a quiet murmuring sound in his ears.
, I was so distraught that I tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. Even if I fell asleep, I would be woken up.
"Uncle, who are you missing?" Tianyi asked strangely, although he was only fifteen years old, but he also understood the affairs of men and women.
"Little guy, I told you, you may not understand. Come, sit down and accompany me." Li Ling smiled slightly at Tianyi. Regarding Tianyi, Li Ling quite liked this little Taoist priest. He was simple and simple.
"Well, yes, uncle." Tianyi bowed respectfully and sat opposite Li Ling.
The two of them were speechless. Tianyi was a hard-working man, and even while sitting quietly, he started to adjust his breath.
"Hey, it's such a damn boring night. Do you have any wine? How about we have two drinks." Li Ling suggested to Tianyi.
"Sorry, there is no such thing. Sister Qingyi won't let me drink. She said that drinking is harmful to the body and will destroy my cultivation." Tianyi looked ashamed and slowly shook his head.
Li Ling sighed and thought to himself, this Qingyi is really lenient, but drinking too much wine is really not good.
"I'm very surprised. Who is your sister Qingyi? She doesn't look like someone from Taixu Guan. After all, Taixu Guan is either a Taoist priest or a Taoist nun. Your sister Qingyi is like a fairy descending to earth, unlike..." Li Ling
I always feel that Saint Qingyi is very unusual and has extremely high cultivation. Judging from the battle during the day, if not for the five paths using the "Tao De Zhong" at the same time, it is estimated that they will end up defeated in the end.
"Uncle Li Ling, you are so discerning and smart. Sister Qingyi is indeed not a Taixuguan person. She is from Kunlun Immortal Palace." When Tianyi talked about Qingyi, he admired her very much. He smiled brightly and had no scheming at all.
He knows how to hide things and just tell them straight away.
"Kunlun Immortal Palace? It sounds quite fairy-like. I wonder what it has to do with the Kunlun Mountains?" Li Ling became even more surprised.
"Kunlun Immortal Palace is located deep in the Kunlun Mountains, and is inhabited by people who cultivate immortality." Tianyi said.
"Will anyone live in that place?" Li Ling said in disbelief.
"Yes, that is the important place of the Immortal Family, and the crowds can't even see it. It's just because there is a barrier of heaven and earth around the mountain peak, so ordinary people can't see it and can't get in." Tian Yi became more and more mysterious as he spoke.
"The barrier between heaven and earth, could it be the legendary space cutting technique?" Li Ling nodded slightly, and his vision was broadened again.
The next morning!
Li Ling fell asleep late at night. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly, but he was woken up by a loud shout. The person knocking on the door turned out to be Tianyi.
"Uncle Li Ling, the master of the temple, invited you to the Taixu Hall, saying that there is a task for you and me to do?" Tianyi was knocking on the door and yelling. The noise made Li Ling unable to sleep normally.
"Okay, stop knocking, I'll be there right away." Li Ling could only sit up helplessly, dazed, stretched, got up, poured some water from the tank into the copper basin, and put his face on it.
I washed it haphazardly.
"Hey, I'm back to ancient life." Li Ling looked at the wooden bed and copper basin and yawned again. These days have gone back and forth. From a promising young man in a modern city, he has directly become an ancient hermit.
When they arrived at the main hall, there were the five Taoist masters of the Ling generation. Taixu Guan was divided into three generations: Ling, Tao, and Tian. Up to now, there are only these five left in the Ling generation, who have the highest cultivation level.
Logically speaking, Li Ling should be considered a Taoist. Of course, Li Ling's master Ling Ji is sitting in the middle.
"Disciple, you slept well yesterday." Ling Ji looked like an outsider Taoist monk. He waved his hands and looked "sanctified".
Li Ling muttered in his heart, you are just like this, and you are still pretending to be in front of me. You don't know what a cunning guy you are outside. Otherwise, the world will not give you the title of Nine-tailed Fox.
"It was cold and windy last night, so I slept well." Li Ling knew that this was a public place and he had to observe etiquette.
"Well, just sleep well. I will assign you a task today as my teacher?" Lingji looked at Li Ling with half-closed eyes.
"What mission?" Li Ling asked in confusion.
"You go with Tianyi to the back mountain and collect some golden-scaled ice lotus to refine medicinal pills for Saint Qingyi." Lingji said expressionlessly.
"Golden scale ice lotus? What is that?" Li Ling was sure that he heard correctly. It was indeed golden scale ice lotus, but Li Ling had only heard of Tianshan snow lotus.
"You'll know when you get there. Let's set out now." Ling Ji Fuchen waved his hand and went to meditate. His eyes that were half closed are now completely closed.
After leaving the Taixu Palace, Tianyi headed southwest. The further in, the heavier the fog became. Although the two were only less than two meters apart, they almost couldn't see each other because of the white fog.
"How can we go back in such a heavy fog?" Li Ling asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'm here." Tianyi said cheerfully.
"What exactly is the Golden Scale Ice Lotus?" Li Ling asked curiously.
"It is a medicinal lotus unique to Taixu Mountain. Sister Qingyi came to Taixu Palace to practice because of the golden-scaled lotus here." Tianyi said.
"What kind of medicinal value does this lotus have?" Li Ling became even more curious. Since even an expert like Qingyi needs it, this golden-scaled ice lotus is definitely not simple.
"The Golden Scale Ice Lotus is a century-old plant that blooms once a hundred years and bears fruit once a hundred years. Therefore, it is extremely precious. Every time Sister Qingyi practices the "Holy Girl's Heart Sutra", she needs to take an Ice Lotus Pill to relieve her body.
The fire poison has reached a state of complete tranquility." Tianyi said with a smile.
It blooms every hundred years and bears fruit every hundred years. Li Ling was shocked. Such medicinal lotus was really precious. Those so-called rare plants that were about to become extinct were probably not as precious as a golden-scaled ice lotus.
However, it is true that ordinary people cannot enter such deep mountains and swamps. Just look at the sea of fog here and you will know that whoever enters will never be able to get out.
After walking on the mountain road for almost an hour, we finally stopped under a cliff. The cliff was extremely high, with a height of 500 meters. The cliff was so steep that it was like a sharp sword cutting through the air.
"The terrain here is steep. There is a thousand-year-old ice cave on the cliff. There may be a golden-scaled ice lotus. Uncle Master, I will go up and take a look first. You wait for me below." Tianyi said.
Li Ling looked at the sea of fog around him and immediately said, "Let's go up together." After all, if you get lost in this sea of fog, you really can't get out.
"That's okay." Tianyi smiled slightly, used Qing Gong, and flew up on the overhanging wall. Qing Gong was not weak at all.
Li Ling remembered that his master once taught him that in the fugue state, he could be as tall as a cloud and fly like an eagle.
With a clear heart and a weak conscience, Li Ling suddenly cleared up the spiritual platform, and the true energy in his body could be clearly heard. He stopped his feet, and the control energy flew into the sky, and he climbed up the cliff here without any effort at all.
When Li Ling crawled, he felt greedy in his heart, and he was immediately discouraged. His feet felt heavy and hollow, and he almost fell off the cliff. Fortunately, Li Ling was smart and adjusted his mentality in time, and entered the fugue state again, returning to his previous state.
The clouds are flying in the sky.
"It's so light kung fu." Tianyi's light kung fu is the same as it is alone. It relies on spreading its arms, like an eagle and a bird flying in the sky, and it is no worse than Li Ling's fugue.
Both of them were very fast, and in just ten seconds, they reached the cave halfway up the cliff.
Li Ling landed first, followed by Tianyi. Li Ling glanced at the cave full of thin ice. The cave was more than five meters high and surrounded by various weeds and pine trees, covering the entrance of the cave.
Li Ling faintly felt a cold wind blowing out of the cave, sometimes carrying snowflakes.
"It seems like it's colder inside the cave than outside the cave?" Li Ling covered his face with his hands to block the cold wind blowing from the cave.
"That's good. Usually there are golden-scaled ice lotuses, and the place where they appear is usually very cold." Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
"Is there such a thing?" Li Ling asked in surprise.
"The golden-scaled ice lotus can only grow in places with extremely low temperatures. It's extremely cold here, that's right." Tianyi entered the cave first, followed by Li Ling.
As soon as the two of them entered the cave, it was pitch dark, but they were both highly cultivated people, and their eyesight could see things in the dark. Li Ling walked for a short distance, observed carefully, and found that the holes around the cave were
The wall is completely sealed by ice and snow. The further inside, the colder the wind, and the lower the temperature.
"I didn't expect that the temperature inside the cave was more than twice as cold as outside." Li Ling was lucky enough to resist the cold wind and avoid being poisoned by the mysterious ice.
"It's even colder around the golden-scaled ice lotus. If uncle can't stand it anymore, just wait here for me for a while and I'll go take out the ice lotus alone." Tianyi's rosy face was not affected by the cold at all. It can be seen that,
His cultivation is evident.
Li Ling sighed in his heart, with such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, it seems that I am really bad.
"What's the matter? Isn't it just a little cold? I can still hold on, let's go in together." Li Ling smiled slightly, and he was still someone else's uncle. How could a master's uncle be worse than his nephew.
"Yes." Tianyi nodded.
The two of them traveled another ten meters, and then they gradually saw a huge ice pool. In the center of the ice pool, a palm-sized ice lotus with golden scales shimmering in the black ice.
"This is...the golden-scaled ice lotus." Li Ling looked at the lotus in disbelief. The petals themselves were all pure gold, extremely dazzling and extremely luxurious.
"You are so lucky. This is a golden-scaled ice lotus that is more than 120 years old. Sister Qingyi will be very happy when she sees it." Tianyi smiled cheerfully.
Just as Tianyi stepped forward to take the golden-scaled ice lotus, a terrifying aura swam around. Li Ling suddenly looked up at the top of the cave and shouted to Tianyi: "Be careful, there is a snake."
