Dong--

Dong--

The thick bell sound came from the top of the mountain, and along with the golden morning light, it fell into the valley surrounded by mountains.

The fog had not dissipated in the early morning, and the pavilions and towers were quickly formed, as if they were between clouds and mists, like dreams and fantasies.

Young disciples of Qihuang Valley wearing standard black robe walked out of the door one after another under the bell, and went to the square in the center of the valley together.

The older seniors began to work on their own affairs, either borrowing books from the classics room, or reporting to the Zhijianfang to complete the monthly duty tasks.

Near the bamboo forest on the back of the square, there is a large building with blue smoke, with hundreds of disciples from the Danyi Room polishing utensils and refining medicines.

Wu Qingwan, who had been resting for a night, walked out of the stone cave behind the waterfall, stood by the stone platform by the cliff, looked at the golden morning light in the distance, and stretched a little lazy - the new day has begun!

Wu Qingwan is the palm room of the Danyu Room. Every day, it is definitely not just about staying on the cliff and watching the scenery.

The alchemy room is used to refine medicines and make various instruments. The simplest ones can be handed over to the disciples, but some of the more complicated ones have to do it by Wu Qingwan.

However, the Great Dan Dynasty is a small place, and Qihuang Valley is not a big sect. The obtained natural treasures are limited, and there are no elixir recipes that can lay golden eggs and refining maps. Ordinary tools and medicines are not too complicated, so Wu Qingwan is not busy at all.

Wu Qingwan's main task every day is to go to the bamboo forest below to guide his personal disciples. The rest of the time is to meditate and refine Qi. Wu Qingwan's five elements are to marry wood, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, corresponding to the west, east, north, south, and middle, water produces wood, so the place of cultivation is under the waterfall in the easternmost part of Qihuang Valley.

In his spare time, Wu Qingwan will also cook a meal by herself.

When she reaches the Linggu realm, her body forms a circle of heaven, and she can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to feed herself continuously. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t eat grains, but she still hasn’t entered Linggu, so she still needs to eat rice, and the demand is not large.

The rising sun rises and the sky is just dawn.

Wu Qingwan stood by the cliff for a moment, and then saw Zuo Lingquan coming out in the courtyard beside the pool below, changing the disciple's robe on her body, and changing it to the costume of a noble family's prince.

A few days ago, the two returned from Changqing Mountain. After Wu Qingwan saw the charm of Zuo Lingquan's sword, her impression of Zuo Lingquan had changed from an "old stupid doll" to an "unpredictable genius of cultivation."

Wu Qingwan already admires Zuo Lingquan's character, and now she naturally appreciates it even more. Looking at Zuo Lingquan's eyes, she is closer to Zuo Hanchou:

"Ling Quan, are you going to go out?"

Zuo Lingquan hasn't had a good sleep these days. He tossed and turned and thought about his sword style, and he wished he could cultivate his true energy now. However, no matter how he thought about it, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't hurry at all. He still had to deal with the things around him.

It has been more than ten days since I first started. Zuo Lingquan only said hello to Uncle San before leaving. It is obviously not suitable not to go back for ten days or half a month. While it was okay today, he thought about going back and taking a look.

"Yes, I'll stay back in the capital for a day and come back tomorrow. Does Senior Wu have any arrangements?"

"There is no arrangement. After I come back, I will give you acupuncture and try to stimulate the meridian points. Maybe there will be a turning point. Also, you are Jiang Yi's son-in-law. If you want to see her, you can bring a Wangjia roast chicken from Xinghua Street. She liked to eat this most when she was a child. Well... There is also the rouge 'red nectar' from Xianzhizhai, which is relatively expensive, but you should be able to afford it..."

In the bamboo forest below the stone cliff, several girls, including Senior Sister Xiaohua, came to his senses when they heard this and said, "I laughed:

"Junior Brother Zuo, don't forget ours."

"Yeah yeah……"

Wu Qingwan's face darkened: "There is no rules, is there anyone who wants something like that?"

"Let's just talk..."

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and chuckled. When talking about Jiang Yi, he still remembered the errands that Jiang Yi had assigned before coming. He had not even recognized the road to Qihuang Valley these days, and naturally he had never seen the retreating national teacher. He did not intend to report to the somewhat rude fiancée when he returned. However, Senior Wu's instructions were so serious that he also remembered them in his heart:

"Thank you for your advice, what do you want me to bring?"

Wu Qingwan is born with beauty and beauty, and she will not let her younger generation buy things for her:

"No need, go early."

Zuo Lingquan bowed and said goodbye to many senior sisters, then turned around and left the bamboo forest.

The environment of Qihuang Valley has not changed much for decades. Zuo Lingquan has already been familiar with the roads entering and leaving. He walked out of the valley entrance and the Shiliulin and came to the small town outside the Bajiao Archway.

The town is at the entrance of Qihuang Valley, and its name is naturally Qihuang Town. Most of the towns are "scattered cultivators" outside. There are also many disciples from Qihuang Valley who sell their own items to earn extra money.

There are not many people in the Great Dan Dynasty's practice, but not many. Qihuang Valley has been established for more than 200 years. Even if the disciples are once every ten years, they have been coming and going for more than 20 times. The disciples who came out of the mountain passed on their disciples, father passed on their sons, and accumulated over generations and have already reached a certain scale.

In addition to Qihuang Valley, there are also some small sects and Taoist temples in various counties, ranging from hundreds to two or three. Although these forces are no longer different from those in the secular world, they are still considered to be people in practice.

Although there are not too few cultivators in the Great Dan Dynasty, it is a fact that not many of them have advanced cultivation. They are generally below the fourth level of Qi refining. This reason is that, in addition to the difficulty of practicing, the most important thing is that the Great Dan Dynasty is that the geographical location is closed and the resources for practice are too few. Those who have the opportunity will basically go out to explore.

There is no saying that when you practice, you will return home in glory. Once you go out, you will either be in the immortal class or die on the road. The person who can return to repay the sect halfway is the national teacher Yue Pingyang. Even if the others come back, they will be discouraged and return to their roots.

Although the cultivation level is low, there is no saying that one can be lying in equal order to die. There is still a desire to practice outside toward the Tao.

The court and the outside of the pass traded, and the white jade zhu and various cultivation-related artifacts received by the imperial court will be given to Qihuang Valley. If these casual cultivators want to get things like Qihuang Valley, they can only come to Qihuang Valley to try their luck. Over time, outside the gate becomes the current Qihuang Town, and the doctors and people in the capital will also come here to buy and sell medicinal materials.

Zuo Linquan rode his horse through a small market. People who were picking and choosing on the stalls could be seen everywhere on the roadside. As for whether they were a practitioner or not, they could not tell whether they were a practitioner or not, based on their appearance. He did not stop at the market. After passing through the market, he headed towards the capital.

Just as Zuo Lingquan was about to walk out of the town, a gangster wearing a hat was also walking along the street and towards the outside.

———

Each person passed by, and it was far apart in a flash.

The gray-haired Jianghu guest stopped on the street with his hands on his back, and was silent for a moment, raised his hat and took a look.

The young master who left the Pegasus had already run some distance. Although he was majestic and strong, the gangsters could see that they were still just mortals and were not much different from the peddlers in the town.

The reason why he stopped looking was simply because he remembered the long-closed youth.

Whether it is practice or the world, whether it is a swordsman or a sword immortal, as long as you use a sword, you may have experienced the spirit of "hanging a sword on your waist, whipping a horse and whipping a whip".

After all, "Immortals" are also cultivated by humans, and no one is born to control the wind and the sky.

It’s a pity that those years were too long and I couldn’t remember them clearly after a long time.

After watching the young master leave, he lifted up the gray hair hanging from his temples and looked at it, with a little nostalgia in his eyes.

The most sad thing in the world is nothing more than "watching the heroes in their late twilight years and watching the beauty grow old."

What is even sadder than this is that I have experienced this feeling, but there is not even a person around me who can tell it.

After a long time, the Jianghu guests looked at the vendors on the street:

"My friend, how do you sell this horse?"

"Hey—I'm 62 years old this year. Look at your baby at most in his early fifties, why is he so unceremonious?"

"Xian Chang, how do you sell this horse?"

"How can I go back after I sold my horse? Why donkeys? Just this one, the ancestor of Qihuang Valley has opened his hands to cure all diseases, protect the descendants, protect the five animals during the day, and protect the golden spear at night. For the sake of the destiny of fellow Taoists, I will give you a favor price, only fifty taels, and the old man will be free."

"well……"
