Gu Yusheng saw that although Mo Wanyun came with an oil-paper umbrella, his shoulders were still stained with a lot of frost and snow. He went into the house to find a clean handkerchief and put it on Mo Wanyun's shoulders, and then he was busy using a small stick to remove the wick.
He turned on the light, moved the brazier, and moved the most beautiful wooden chair in the cabin in front of Miss Mo.
"Miss Mo, sit down."
Gu Yusheng tidied away the things on the table, feeling a little embarrassed.
Mo Wanyun seemed much more casual. After she took her seat, she looked at the poor hut. Although there was thick frost and snow outside, the corners and seams inside the hut had been patched, and there was no wind coming in. The charcoal was sizzling, and the house was unusually warm.
"Hey, little loach, I seem a little hungry."
Mo Wanyun pointed to the earthen urn hanging on the brazier and said.
"It just so happens that I didn't eat either."
Gu Yusheng got up and walked into the woodshed, his figure busy.
The corners of Mo Wanyun's mouth raised slightly.
Her little hand gently brushed over the brazier, a pair of smart eyes swept over the handkerchief on her shoulder, and gently dusted off the snowflakes. She glanced at the box Gu Yusheng placed on the table. Naturally, she knew the medicinal materials in it.
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she touched her waist with her little hand, took out a brocade sachet, and took out two pieces of winter cake wrapped in paper. She placed one on the table and put the other to her lips to bite.
After a while.
Gu Yusheng took some vegetables and put them into the earthen urn.
The two sat facing the earthen urn.
Candles were hung on the wall near the window, occasionally making a clicking sound.
The aroma soon overflowed from the earthen urn.
Mo Wanyun was surprised and said: "Where can you get fish at this time of year?"
Gu Yusheng chuckled, pointed to the creek beside the small courtyard, and gestured with his hands.
"Dig a hole, and the fish will jump up on their own. I picked up two fatter ones and some mushrooms. They were all picked up in the forest during the last trial. Miss Mo, you have a taste first.
If you like it, eat more."
Gu Yusheng handed the bowl and chopsticks to Mo Wanyun.
Mo Wanyun was not polite. He took a few mouthfuls of soup and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
She pointed to the winter cake placed on the table and said: "Gu Yusheng, this is made by the students of the Holy Academy who collected eighteen kinds of literary fruits from Shushan during the Laba Festival. There is a strange jujube in the middle. You
Give it a try.”
"Wen Guo? Is there such a thing?"
Gu Yusheng looked curious and picked up a square cake on the table. There seemed to be a strange fruit in the middle, with a fragrant and familiar taste.
Mo Wanyun chuckled and said: "Gu Yusheng, this world is very big, and there are all kinds of strange things. Don't just smell them, taste them. Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
"No, this is too precious."
Gu Yusheng was a little reluctant to eat. He looked at Mo Wanyun and found that she was also eating a piece of pastry, but her piece didn't seem to have any strange fruit in the middle.
Gu Yusheng didn't think much. He put the pastry into his mouth and chewed it carefully. As expected, it tasted like something he had never tasted before.
Especially the fruit in the middle melts in the mouth, and the refreshing aroma is mixed with strange energy, which is swallowed into the stomach.
Seeing Gu Yusheng eating her pastry, Mo Wanyun narrowed her eyes slightly. She took a sip of fish soup, stood up and said, "I have to go back, lest grandpa finds out and I have to be scolded again."
"Are you leaving now?"
Gu Yusheng looked at the uneaten vegetables and fish in the earthen urn with a slightly stunned expression. Mo Wanyun had taken off the oil-paper umbrella on the wall, opened it in the small courtyard, and let the snowflakes fall on the umbrella with a pattering sound.
"You can't stay, can you?"
Mo Wanyun chuckled, moved forward, stopped, and looked back: "Grandpa wants to guide me in my practice. I will have to stay in seclusion for several months. When the peach blossoms bloom next year, you may not be able to see me."
When Gu Yusheng heard this, his heart felt inexplicably empty.
It turns out she wasn't passing by.
"Miss Mo, please wait a moment."
Gu Yusheng turned around and walked into the side room.
This girl came to him in the wind and snow to share delicious food, but he had nothing good to entertain him. He looked around and poured a bowl of peach blossom brew. Although the taste was fragrant, he still felt that it was not good enough. Gu Yusheng made a brief
He hesitated and melted the Bodhi fruit he got into the peach blossom wine.
"Miss Mo, this is the peach blossom stuffing you like."
Mo Wanyun held the peach blossom wine and drank it all in one gulp, with slight dimples appearing on his face.
"Sweeter than last time."
Gu Yusheng took the bowl handed over by Mo Wanyun and watched her turn and walk forward.
"Miss Mo."
"ah?"
"The red rope you used to tie your hair did fall to me. I have kept it there."
"You can give it back to me next time you come."
Mo Wanyun held the umbrella and walked away.
The courtyard returned to tranquility.
Gu Yusheng looked at the delicacies in the earthen jar. He ate a few chopsticks and drank a pot of wine alone. He felt that the food was less flavorful and not as delicious as before.
After a while.
Gu Yusheng only felt an endless force growing in his body. This force seemed to be jumping into his bones. He was shocked, sat cross-legged in the small courtyard, and began to practice the bone-forging technique.
The vitality and mixed spiritual energy in the Dantian were continuously guided into the limbs by Gu Yusheng, and he could feel that his bones were quietly changing.
The next morning.
Gu Yusheng opened his eyes, moved his arms and legs, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Overnight, he could feel a layer of crystal periosteum appearing on the bones of his limbs, and the speed of the bones was far beyond his expectation. What surprised him even more was that the magical power in his dantian was still flowing.
Keep popping up.
"strangeness."
Gu Yusheng was curious, and after preparing his daily necessities, he went to practice in the cold cave.
He planned to complete bone tempering of his limbs before spring.
Time flies.
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Peach Blossom Peak.
The warm pavilion in the other courtyard.
Mo Wanyun walked out of it. She looked slightly taller than a month ago, and her figure was as slim as a willow sprouting buds.
Mo Fanchen, a scholar who was studying in the outer courtyard, twisted his beard and said: "Yes, in one month, you not only opened up individual meridians, but also condensed a layer of jade bone and green membrane on the bones of the body. No wonder those years of study in the Holy Academy
Disciples, all want to go to Xianhuzhou to seek the Bodhi Fruit and find some opportunities. It seems that the effect of the Bodhi Fruit is indeed extraordinary."
"Bodhi fruit?"
Mo Wanyun's eyes flickered. She didn't tell her grandfather that she secretly gave the precious Bodhi fruit to someone else.
"Grandpa, it's me who is talented and smart, and I also work hard."
Hearing this, Mo Fanchen shook his head and said: "Of course you work hard, but you can't ignore the role of Bodhi Fruit. We live in Qingping Mountain, and you study at Qingyun Sect. The elders of Qingyun Sect treat you well.
Yes, you know, the entire Qingyun Sect only got two Bodhi Fruits. Even the ninth prince of the Xuanlong Dynasty wanted to ask for them, but he couldn't get them. Wanyun, the energy contained in this Bodhi Fruit is extremely strange. You might as well
Try using your inner breath to walk around the divine gates, overpasses, startling gates, and divine towers. It will produce a scorching energy that can nourish your soul and make it less likely to be disturbed by inner demons. It also has the effect of keeping your appearance."
"oh."
Mo Wanyun felt a little guilty.
With Mo Fanchen staring at her, she could only circulate her inner breath and try to guide energy into these acupuncture points.
After a moment, she felt a surge of energy rising from her Dantian, and even the shadow of a bodhi tree appeared between her eyebrows.
Mo Fanchen laughed heartily and said joyfully: "Wanyun, I never thought that you would get another opportunity from this bodhi tree, which is called wisdom and clarity. It is said that only when Buddhists and monks sit under the bodhi tree and meditate can they have the opportunity to realize it. You actually have it too."
If you practice wisdom in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
At this time, Mo Wanyun's eyes widened.
"Grandpa, Bodhi fruit, should I eat it?"
"Huh? Why do you ask that? The appearance of the bodhi tree is of course the effect of eating the bodhi fruit."
Mo Fanchen was in a good mood and did not notice the abnormal expression on his granddaughter Mo Wanyun.
Mo Wanyun turned around, and after a while, her eyes lit up, then her face turned red inexplicably, and she spat: "That guy, wouldn't he secretly take out the fruit and put it in the peach blossom wine?"
…”
"It doesn't seem right. Where did he get the Bodhi fruit? Did the elders of the sect give it to me by mistake? And he secretly turned the fruit into water for me to eat... just to make the water sweeter?"
Thinking of this, Mo Wanyun's face showed a hint of complexity, and he stood still for a long time.
In order to confirm her suspicion, she also went to inquire about the whereabouts of another Bodhi fruit, but the whereabouts of the other Bodhi fruit were unknown.
"Gu Yusheng."
Mo Wanyun sat by the window with pink cheeks and clouds flying in the sky.
The wind blew across her cheek, the breath of early spring.
"You're a scapegoat."
She said to the wind.
But when she thought of her bodhi fruit being secretly fed to Gu Yusheng, she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.
