Chapter 45:

Search for Grass to Save Ling

People in the Jianghu


Luo Tian Qiu followed his words and sat on him to exercise his power. Shenni also asked Wenxue to help her cook. After TianQiu finished his work, he had a good meal and walked well.

Luo Tianqiu has finished breathing, and his mind is clear, and he has completely restored his former mental outlook. After a full meal, he even ignored Long Ling, saying goodbye to the old and the young and hurried to the southwest.

Dingqing Shenni listened to TianQiu and said, "I'm going!" The words were still in the air. He jumped up in a hurry and was a few meters away. He was as high as a powerful crossbow. He ran across the grass like an arrow, and disappeared in a twinkling of an eye.

Shenni was astonished and thought: "The doll's lightness skills are excellent. It's really a great Xia. I'm not worried that the 'Heavenly Heart Dragon Fairy Grass' can't be obtained. It's really touching to see his deep love for Linger. Linger is blessed!" Now he secretly took a lesson

Luo Tianqiu left the Shenni three people and immediately launched the "Haoyang Spirit" to concentrate the real spirit in his feet, and launched the "Shadowless Fantasy Wind" lightness skill to make a westward journey. Along the way, I followed the order of Shenni and the exhortation of Su Erdi, avoided the main road and the public, and chose the wasteland. Every morning and night, eat and drink right amount, and rest deeply at night.

After a few days, I just feel energetic and not tired at all. Stepping on the Qinling Mountains, there are continuous mountains and steep mountains, and the green is becoming less and less. There are snow-covered peaks in front of us, and we have passed one mountain after another. After climbing the mountain and crossing the mountain, it is very different from running on the flat ground. It consumes a lot of energy. A top expert with deep internal power like Luo Tianqiu often feels tired. In addition, the mountains are sparsely populated and the food is scarce, so we can only satisfy our hunger with wild fruits, and sometimes we have to catch birds and animals for raw food. He thought it was too long to make a fire and roast, but he actually lived a life of life.

As we walked higher and higher, we could see the snow-capped and desolate landscape in front of us. We could only satisfy our hunger with snow water and really wither our breath. We only felt that our breath was urgent and we often could not stop breathing. He thought it was a disease or a fire, and he sat down to regulate his breath, but he felt that there was no difference in his body. Naturally, he would not know that the air in the mountains is thin and breathing is urgent, which is a normal phenomenon for everyone. Even so, he did not panic, calmly met the enemy, let the running speed slow down, looked around carefully for food, and tried to make his stomach not empty, but not disorderly.

In "Gaoligong" that day, Shifu had taught him to know all kinds of flowers, trees and herbs without a group of scattered people, so that he could become familiar with all kinds of wild plants. He would never eat any wild fruits that he did not know. He would rather catch a handful of snowflakes to appease his hunger, and then regulate his vitality. He would use pure qi in his body to fight hunger. This kind of stopping and walking has delayed many days. Although Tian Qiu is very anxious, he knows that he should not be impatient at this time. If he is careless, he will make a big mistake. It is too late to repent. When encountering fierce birds and beasts, if you can avoid them, you can avoid them. If you can avoid them, you will be invisible. Try to avoid wasting real strength. The wind in the mountains is especially fierce. It must always resist the wind and avoid falling into the abyss.

Many difficulties and obstacles exhausted Luo Tianqiu. The most headache for him was the increasingly urgent breathing, which often made him feel uncomfortable in regulating his breathing and exercising his energy. At the age of 19, Luo Tianqiu could not have expected that there were many difficulties in climbing the mountains: he thought that climbing the mountains would take only time and effort, but he didn't know that the mountains in the southwest plateau here were comparable to the mountains in the Central Plains.

Time has passed secretly, and I don't know how many days have passed. When I think about it carefully, it has been more than ten days since they left Shenni.

On that day, he came to a cave on the mountain. Luo Tianqiu was unable to walk. He rushed into the cave pointedly and meandered for more than ten zhang. Suddenly, he felt a bright light in front of him. A large and bright cave was just in front of him. It was about five zhang square. The four walls were inlaid with a lot of different sizes of gemstones. The jewels were sparkling and shone brightly. A thick layer of fine grass was embedded in the middle of the room like a chicken's nest.

Tian Chou approached and gently pressed it with his hand. The grass was very soft, and there were many eggs as big as goose eggs on it. Tian Chou picked up a broken egg shell and swallowed it on his back. He felt both thirsty and hungry. After eating five or six eggs in a row, he sat down on his knees at the edge of the graben and used his energy to regulate his breath for an hour. He felt comfortable and energetic. His previous fatigue was gone, which was different from when he entered the hole. It suddenly occurred to him that this might be the egg of the divine bird. The master once said that the divine bird is the roc gold-winged bird at the top of the mountain. It can adapt to the climate of the mountain and the steep special environment. Other birds and animals can't catch up with it, so it is called the divine bird. All year round, they peck all kinds of strange flowers and fruits at the top of the mountain. They gather the essence of the mountain to spawn eggs. Eating them can not only nourish and refresh the mind, but also relieve fatigue and activate qi and blood.

Luo Tianqiu was overjoyed. He could not wait to cheer. He looked at the jewels set on the four walls and thought, "Why not take some jewels for them as a souvenir, especially Sister Ling, who especially likes jewels and other ornaments."

With this in mind, he quickly looked back at the four walls and found that there was a gem on each wall that was particularly eye-catching and larger than the other gems, and the one on the room surface was the most eye-catching. This gem was found by chance when he came out of the cave. It was the same size as the gem on the small wall, even slightly smaller, and less brilliant than the other four, but its green color implied a deep temperament, as if the sage met by great wisdom, was not eye-catching, not Bole would not recognize it. Luo Tianqiu thought it was more precious than the four stones. He was thoughtful and thought of sending a special gem to Qingshenni, which was the most suitable one.

Luo Tianqiu put these five stones in his pocket, picked up some divine eggs, put them in his arms, turned out of the cave, and rushed west. At this time, he was full of energy. He started his lightness skills and ran quickly on the snow. He thought that since he had found the divine bird's egg, it would not be too far to go to the "Mirror Stage"; Tian Qiu walked and thought, looking straight ahead. Turning over a small hill, I saw that there was a chimney shaped column on the front of the hill. When you look at it, the mirror stand is magnificent. It is twenty or thirty feet high. There is a house as high as it is. It is eight square, just like a horse lantern. The four walls are as bright and clean as mirrors. It is obvious that the strong mountain wind is blowing. It is really worthy of the name "Mirror Platform".

At this time, Luo Tianqiu was not in a hurry. He swallowed all the eggs in his arms, sat on the ground for a moment, and then stood up, lifted his breath and shook his feet and feet. He was five or six feet off the ground, his left foot was a little on the right foot, and then rose four or five feet. When you are in the air, apply the "one finger Zen" magic skill with both hands, point to the mirror wall, and your forefinger has been inserted into the stone wall to stabilize your body. Looking up, there is still a distance of about ten feet from the front of the platform. The platform is two or three feet wide along the Shenjing wall. Luo Tianqiu pressed his hands on the edge of the stone with strength and repeated twice. His body had risen from flat to the lower edge of the mirror platform, and his hands were still inserted into the wall. Then, he turned his legs up and turned the "pearl inverted shutter" upside down, and the man had fallen on the "mirror table", the mirror was round and about ten meters in diameter.

He could hardly believe that the huge plant in front of him was the three-leaf "Tianxin Longxian Grass!" I saw that the leaf was about five inches wide, three or four feet high, green and exquisite, and the wind blew the leaves, sparkling.

It is strange that there is no trace of snow on the mirror table. It is only covered with a layer of fine and light green grass, which is no more than an inch long. It looks like a piece of green carpet. The green "Tianxin Longxian Grass" is a huge bonsai, which is loved by everyone.

Tian Chou flicked his hand on the leaf, and the sound was like a jade pendant. Qing Ling was sweet. She heard Luo Tian Chou's heart in full bloom, remembered Ling Mei's flowery smile, and vividly remembered her wayward and mischievous lively manner. TianQiu stood beside the leaves of "Tianxin Longxian Grass" ecstatically, and brushed his right hand on the leaves, like Buddha on the back of sister Ling's white and delicate hands.

Luo Tianqiu himself was intoxicated in the dreamland of his spare time, and suddenly a gust of wind swept in, as if under a dark cloud in the sky. He looked up quickly and saw a huge bird swooping down on him. What a big kite, its wings were a foot wide, its claws were as open as steel hooks, its beak was as red as a knife, and it was coming like a hurricane.

TianQiu couldn't think carefully. He rolled on the spot and hid himself in the space between the two leaves of "Tianxin Longxian Grass" with the method of "shrinking bones and stretching tendons", like a snail, to avoid the fierce attack. The Harrier missed a single hit, and then rose again into the air, spreading its wings and circling in the air, making a fierce attack on the south. The Harrier missed a single hit, then rose again, spread its wings and circled in the air, and made a pose to swoop down again. TianQiu suddenly remembered the words of Shenni: this eagle is a roc gold-winged bird, and it is a grass eagle. The blow just now is that the eagle is afraid to touch the blade and damage the Tianxinlongxian Grass, so you must not hurt it if you pass by the grass.

After thinking about it, Tian Qiu gently took off a blade of Tianxin Longxian grass with his hand, put it in his arms and close to the soft sword, buttoned his coat, then stood up straight and took two steps towards the platform. Although the eagle has intelligence, it is a beast after all. How can it compete with people, let alone the clever Luo Tianqiu.

After seeing that he had left the "Tianxin Longxian Grass", the bird picked another leaf of Tianxin Longxian Grass. The animal's nature erupted, and the "quack" roared with a shrill and harsh voice, which was like the cry of ghosts and the howl of wolves. Hearing that, Tian Qiu was terrified and secretly raised his guard. The roc's golden wing bird screamed, its wings closed, and the arrow generally hit Luo Tianqiu's head from top to bottom. TianQiu slowly squatted down in a leisurely manner, and waited for the eagle's beak to be a little bit away from his head. At the moment when he did not touch it, he tilted and slid, leaped up in an arc, and escaped the fierce attack. Then he made a move of "red chest skilfully turning the cloud". The man had hung on his back on the eagle's chest, his feet tightly clasped its upper and lower beaks, so that he could neither open his mouth nor swing left and right, and his hands grasped the back of his claws at the wrist, no matter how dexterous it was, There is nothing we can do.

The roc gold-winged bird is very smart. Seeing TianChou, it seized its beak and claws and repeatedly attacked TianChou with its huge wings. How clever Tian Qiu is! With his hands parted and his body moved, he was close to the eagle's chest, but he could do nothing to let his wings clap wildly. The eagle was also very good. He even folded his wings and rolled in the air, intending to use the rolling centrifugal force to throw TianQiu away from him.

In this way, the roc had to spread its wings and glide. TianQiu turned his head and looked down to find a safe place to land.

The bird suddenly dived to a sharp stone in the valley. Tianchou knew that it was going to hit him on the rocks, so he was on alert. When the eagle is still a few feet away from the sharp stone protruding from the ground, the eagle can speed up and see how far it is from the sharp stone. Tian Chou suddenly releases his hand and leaves the eagle. His habitual force makes him continue to hit the sharp stone. Tian Chou immediately turns back to offset his momentum, and falls gently on the edge of the sharp stone, shrank and hid in the crack of the stone.

When the eagle flew back, it had already disappeared. It had to spread its wings and fly to the "Mirror Platform". Tian Chou stuck it on the chest of Dapeng Gold-winged Bird. Although it was not hard, his hands and feet made some ingenious efforts, and he was a little dizzy. He sat down and breathed for half an hour, ready to go back.

Since eating the eagle's egg, Luo Tianqiu has refreshed his spirit and blood flow, which is quite different from his tired and disconcerted look when he came here. He rushed for three days and nights without stopping. The fourth day he passed the Qinling Mountains. After all, Luo Tianqiu was driven by flesh and blood. He ran over mountains and mountains for three days and nights to avoid dangers. Even a straight journey on the flat ground was a thousand miles away. What's more, he did not sleep and did not eat. He was very tired. So he immediately went to a town to find a restaurant to sleep and eat. After a full night's sleep, he ran again for three days and nights. On the fourth day, he arrived at the broken temple where Longling was recovering.

As soon as Luo Tianqiu entered the ruined temple, his spirit suddenly increased and he didn't feel tired. He shouted, "God, Qiu is back!"

When Dingqing Shenni heard his voice, the figure flashed and stood in front of TianQiu, followed by Su Kun and Zhang Wenxue. The Shenni saw that TianQiu was covered with dust, his face was pale and green, and he was very distressed!

"Qiu Er, look how tired you are," said Shen Ni softly.

Luo Tianqiu looked at the Shenni and smiled. He took the piece of Tianxin Dragon Fairy Grass from his body and handed it to the Shenni with both hands. Dingqing Shenni, who rarely looks happy, can't help smiling. He said, "Here we are! Amitabha, Linger has a bright future!"

Dingqing Shenni took the Tianxin Wanxian Grass with both hands and immediately ordered to light a fire. She had already prepared all kinds of alchemy utensils and coke.

Zhang Wenxue and Su Kun didn't have time to talk to TianQiu, but just looked at TianQiu and smiled, and rushed to the kitchen behind them to prepare for alchemy.

Dingqing Shenni stepped into the wing room and saw Fang Xiaoding clean. He had already put a big wooden bed and Long Ling was lying on the bed. TianQiu is anxious to approach. It turns out that Long Ling is no different. Her eyes are still closed. Shenni gently peeled a small piece of "Tianxin Longxian Grass" leaf, put it in Longling's mouth, turned to Tianqiu and said, "Chou son, just lie beside her for a few hours."

"Don't worry, Elder, Qiu Er is not tired." TianQiu smiled:

Shenni said positively: "Chou son, why don't you listen to my arrangement! Look at your face, I'm afraid you haven't had a rest for days and nights.

If you go on like this, even the steel will be exhausted! When Linger recovers, you are ill again. What can you do? "

Tian Chou smiled and said sincerely, "Sister Ling doesn't talk. How can Chou sleep at ease?"

"Qiu Er!" Shenni smiled helplessly. "Your mind is out of order again!"

Linger can not only talk with the "Tianxin Longxian Grass". It will also be as lively and lovely as before! Look - "Point at Long Ling with your hand.

Tian Qiu Shun looked at Shen Ni with his fingers and saw Long Ling's lips move slightly. The small piece of "Tianxin Longxian Grass" that has been put in the mouth

Chew slowly. Tian Chou raised his hands and tried to help her push the leaves of "Tianxin Longxian Grass" out of her mouth. The Nun shook her hand and motioned him not to move.

"Ignore her, let her chew slowly, swallow the juice, and turn to life. Then take the 'heart nourishing pill', and you can recover in a day or two. You should listen to the old man and lie down and rest."

Hearing this, TianQiu sat on the futon with his knees crossed and took a breath for a moment. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Shenni was still standing in the room. He knew that Shenni was watching him fall asleep before leaving. He was afraid of delaying Shenni's alchemy, so he quickly lay down beside Longling. Keep your eyes closed. Unexpectedly, as soon as his eyes were closed, the sleepy man came. The abbess gently touched his sleeping acupoint.

Tian Qiu woke up late at night. He got up in a hurry. It turned out that the Nun's "heart nourishing pill" had been refined.

Dingqing Shenni found a jade plate and put the refined "heart nourishing pill" into the jade plate. There are more than 30 pills, each pill is nine times the size of a broad bean. At the moment, Long Ling has already chewed up the small piece of nourishing grass and swallowed it. Her body is slowly wriggling, and her breathing becomes more even. She can hear her slight breathing. Dingqing Shenni put a "heart nourishing pill" in her mouth and swallowed it with water. Another "heart nourishing pill" is crushed and dissolved in a bowl of water, signaling Tianqiu and Su Kun to go out, leaving Wen Xue to push the door.

Uncover the cloth clothes on Long Ling's body, untie the underwear, dip a square handkerchief with the light green water in the bowl, and gently wipe Long Ling's body.

Long Lingzi's black skin gradually turns white from black to purple. Shenni gently patted the acupoints all over her body, and saw that her white jade body gradually showed a rose color, which was bright and delicate as gold and jade leaves! Then, together with Wen Xue, put on her underwear and put a new sheet on her. The order was to wrap the original bed sheet with the changed clothes and hand it to Wenxue for burning outside.

In less than half an hour, I saw Long Ling's body turning quietly and her throat "gurgling". Shenni hurriedly lifted her up. Long Ling tilted her head and spit the sewage in her stomach into a spittoon. There was a spittoon full of water, which was purple black.

"How does Linger feel?" Shenni asked.

"At first, I felt a little sore. It seems that my master rubbed my body for me, and slowly felt numb and itchy from the pain. Now I feel cool on my skin, and my blood is comfortable." Long Ling said softly.

Shenni said softly, "Dear Linger, cross your knees to regulate your breath."

Long Ling, as she said, sat cross-legged on the bed and adjusted her breath. Luo Tianqiu also sneaked in at this time. He stood quietly at the bedside and watched Long Ling concentrate on breathing. For an hour, Long Lingfang finished her work. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Tian Qiu who smiled at her.

"Brother TianQiu, why are you so thin?"

Shenni smiled and said, "Girl, what are you talking about? Your brother TianQiu has traveled thousands of mountains and rivers for you. How can he not be thin?"

The Shenni then injured her by Naotai's "dark earth without a return awn". The silver awn was quenched with the poison of "see the mountain red". There was no way to cure it. TianQiu ventured far away from the "mirror stage" of Mount Bayankara, and extracted the "Tianxin Longxian Grass" to refine it into a "heart nourishing pill", so that she could be reborn.

Long Ling was shocked and looked straight at TianQiu. For a long time, her bright eyes were glistening with tears. She had a lively disposition that did not know what sorrow was. Say what you have in mind, but now you have become an introverted girl who is implicit and affectionate, and can't say a word for a long time. Dingqing Shenni looked at it and felt very emotional. She was a newcomer. She did not know how many rough waves she had gone through in her life, but she never tasted the honey of "love". She thought to herself, "These two dolls, how deep their feelings are, seem to be much more precious than life. What a sin in the past!"

Thinking of this, Shenni hurriedly held Long Ling in her arms and tried tears for her, feeling the same as her mother. The little girl leaned her head on her master and shrugged her shoulders. She was sobbing, obviously with great emotion.

Shenni smiled and said, "silly boy, your brother TianQiu has died and is so thin. Is that why he cried to see you? There is not a word of gratitude!"

Long Ling choked: "I... I have suffered so much for Brother TianQiu... sad!" After that, she could not help throwing herself into TianQiu's arms and crying loudly.

TianQiu gently stroked her beautiful hair and said softly, "Linger, it's better to hurt yourself. Don't break your body again. Is it harder than your trip to Changbai Mountain?"

They confided in each other affectionately, and Su Kun and Zhang Wenxue, who stood by, both admired and avoided each other. Zhang Wenxue, in particular, was filled with mixed feelings. It seemed that he had turned over the bottle of five flavors, and the cries of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy came to his heart. She and Luo Tianqiu almost fell in love at first sight, and the enthusiastic "blind god beggar" matched them. They were already dependent on each other.

The appearance of Long Ling has virtually disturbed all harmony, at least in Zhang Wenxue's mind. No matter how innocent Long Ling is, she uses a kind of little sister's enthusiasm to match the person she likes. Zhang Wenxue is a mature girl. Her actions carry a feeling and a desire for the night of "Broken Roses Cliff". She understands that there is no second person to replace Long Ling in the heart of Luo Tianqiu. She can only be Luo Tianqiu's sister, but she can't be compared with Long Ling.

Su Kun's appearance made her see the slight difference between the morning glow and the sunset glow. They have their own merits but are not in time. She finally understood the depth of her feelings. Only the changes of current events can be detected.

Luo Tianqiu and Long Ling are two lovers without affectation. She is convinced. No one could tell her feelings at the moment. She just grasped her arm tightly and dreamt and listened to Qingshenni talking.

"Well, Linger can take another pill of 'heart nourishing pill' and breathe for a few days, and it will be safe. The rest of 'heart nourishing pills' will be shared equally among the four of you in case of emergency."

Four people act according to their words. Luo Tianqiu suddenly smiled and said, "I still have a small harvest from my trip to the 'Mirror Stage'."

Then he told the story about the roc and the golden winged bird when he got into the cave. Everyone is very happy.

"Brother Tianchou, bring the gem to us quickly!" Long Ling laughed.

TianQiu hurriedly took five precious stones from his arms, and everyone only felt that they were dazzling.

"What an adventure!" TianQiu said: "These gems are the 'pearl avoiding fire' and 'pearl avoiding water'. I walked through the forest with fire like waves without any hindrance, unharmed, and then rushed to sleep, accidentally fell into the water, and my clothes were not wet.

I just don't know which one avoids fire and which one avoids water. I can't be careful for a moment. "

Shenni smiled and said, "This is not difficult."

She hurriedly invited everyone outside. There are several water tanks in the garden behind the temple, which are used to water the flowers in the temple. They are full of water. Shenni put five precious pearls, one by one, in the water tank. As soon as the two blue pearls are in the water tank, the water waves will naturally separate, and layers of water will slightly overflow from the tank surface.

Next to the kitchen, the charcoal fire in the alchemy furnace was not extinguished. The Shenni put two red beads in the charcoal fire, and the flame suddenly split into four parts. The burning rock around the fire magically moved to one side. Several people were dumbfounded.

"Ha ha, the two rubies are the pearl of avoiding fire! The sapphire is the pearl of avoiding water. I don't know what the green gem is?

It seems that they are not afraid of fire, but also can avoid water. "

Long Ling said quickly.

Dingqing Shenni nodded and said with a smile, "I don't think you know its origin. This is the 'pearl of concentration and body protection'. People hold it in their mouth. After a hundred years, the bones are intact, and it is the treasure of treasure!"

"Qiu Er specially brought it to the elders as a souvenir!" Tian Qiu looked at Shenni and smiled.

Dingqing Shenni was thoughtful. Hearing TianQiu say this, he was shocked. Is...... Is TianQiu prescient and dare not think about it any more

Shenni continued: "OK, I'll arrange it. Qiu Er and Su Xiannier have to avoid the fire pearl, and Wen Xue and Linger have to avoid the water pearl.
