?
After a moment of silence, a low but elegant voice came from the man in gray: "Get up."
Mo Qingchen slowly stood up, with half-lowered eyelids standing there, the calm surface was actually concealing a stormy sea in his heart. Book lovers also like to read:
"Come over here, Qingchen." The man in grey robes said gently.
Mo Qingchen stepped forward one step at a time until he was in front of him, still not daring to lift his head and look at him.
That year, his appearance solved her urgent problem.
That year, his appearance saved her from disaster.
At the most helpless moment, he accompanied her day and night, riding a white crane to send her off for thousands of miles. Although they were from different worlds, she was just an ordinary woman, but she had that uncontrollable heart movement.
But when they meet again, he has become her master.
"My name is Gu Li, and I was given the title He Guang at the time of my ascension to immortality." The man in gray robes explained slowly, then smiled slightly, "Qing Chen, I didn't expect you to grow up so quickly. Sit down, put out your hand."
It turned out that he was indeed Gu Da Ge of the past.
Mo Qingchen had a subtle thought in his heart and stretched out his hand according to what was said.
A disc appeared in Gu's hand, indicating that Mo Qingchen should put his hand on it.
Mo Qingchu was taken aback for a moment, and for the first time, she felt a twinge of inferiority because of her Four Spirit Root. She had never felt ashamed of herself before, but at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: would he be disappointed in her because she was a pseudo-Spirit Root?
Four-colored spiritual light flashed, but Gu Li didn't react at all. Instead, he stretched out his slender fingers and placed them on Mo Qingchen's wrist. Mo Qingchen subconsciously dodged, his cheeks slightly flushing with heat.
Gu Li's expression faltered for a moment, before she regained her composure: "Qing Chen, your foundation is too hastily established, the roots are unstable, and you haven't calmed down to solidify your cultivation. If this continues, it will eventually become a great calamity."
Mo Qingchen was shocked in his heart, seeing that he couldn't control himself like this, could it be that his foundation was built too hastily? Was his Dao heart unstable?
Thinking of this, Mo Qingchen let out a sigh of relief, right, other book friends normally read like that. It must be like that.
"Thanks for the reminder, Master." Qingchen bowed slightly.
"Dust off, the bamboo hut on the other side is empty. You can stay there, if you're missing anything, just tell Master. Don't rush to cultivate during this period, first help me tidy up the medicine garden. Also, the warehouse in the back has a lot of medicinal materials that need to be sorted and processed. Hmm, also take care of the Snow Jade Carving and the Wind Tiger Beast..." Gu Li instructed in one breath.
Mo Qingdun suddenly felt a black line on his face, and he nodded obediently. In his heart, tears flowed as he thought: Master, are you sure I'm an inner disciple, not just a miscellaneous servant?
No matter what, Gu's words made Mo Qingchen's previous daughterly feelings instantly thrown out of her mind.
Gu Li smiled and looked at his young apprentice with a gaze that was both smiling and not smiling, then patted the Tianyin Wind Tiger Beast under his hand: "Dahua, take Qingchen to her residence."
"Hmm——" The tiger-like creature, which was at least one circle fatter than the heavenly wind tiger beast, let out an unwilling low growl. It lazily stood up, glanced at Mo Qingchen with a slanted gaze, and then walked towards a bamboo hut with elegant cat steps.
Mo Qingchen twitched the corner of his mouth, what kind of expression was this spirit beast making. Why did it look like it had knocked over a vinegar jar?
Alright, she not only has to start over as a miscellaneous character, but also compete with a tiger for attention? Mo Qingchen suddenly felt that the future days would be wonderful.
Mo Qingchen was led into a bamboo hut by the "Big Flower" wind tiger beast, before she could react, the big tiger turned around and walked away with its butt facing her.
Mo Qingchen smiled helplessly and looked around his new home.
This bamboo house is closely connected, each room is not big, but very delicate, in addition to the bedroom, bathroom and practice room, there are also kitchen, alchemy room, and even a spiritual beast room.
These bamboo houses are half surrounded by a row of green bamboo fences and also enclosed a small courtyard.
It can be said that although this place is not like other foundation-building cultivators who have their own caves, it has everything it needs.
Mo Qingchen was more and more satisfied with what she saw, although winter was approaching soon, but the greenery in front of her eyes made her feel happy, anyway, she wasn't afraid of the cold anymore, so a little coolness didn't matter.
So, Mo Qingchen settled down in the bamboo hut.
Although there were only two masters and apprentices, plus a large eagle, a tiger, and a crow, Mo Qingchen, who rarely practiced, was not idle every day due to Gu Li's previous arrangement.
Every day at dawn, Mo Qing dust gets up and first goes to tend to that medicinal garden.
Because the medicine garden is divided into five elements according to the properties of the spiritual medicine, each type of spiritual medicine has its own unique requirements. Some are even very delicate, such as a kind called "Companion Moon Sleep". The most valuable part of this spiritual medicine is the flower that blooms, but the flower will wither in the sun. Mo Qingchen needs to pick the flowers before sunrise.
There is another spiritual grass that also needs to be collected at the moment when the sun has not yet risen, and the dew on it is collected in a jade bottle. This dew water is the best water for making tea.
These two things are the most worrying for Mo Qingchen, because they not only have time limits, but also require special techniques when picking, and must be wrapped in spiritual energy, without being tainted by smoke and fire.
Each time after the commotion, Mo Qingchen felt that his spiritual power was nearly exhausted, and he was so tired that he was panting.
This is not over yet, after tidying up the herb garden, she will use the collected dew to boil water and make tea.
The fire for boiling water cannot be ordinary fire, but must be the true fire of a cultivator. Fortunately, Mo Qingchen was in his own small kitchen, so he could keep the secret of the Clear Heart Crystal Fire.
What secretly delighted her was that the master actually praised her tea-making skills, saying that the tea she brewed had an excellent taste and a hint of spirituality. Mo Qingchen suspected that it might have something to do with the fire used for boiling water.
Afterwards, Mo Qingchen was going to take Snow Jade Spirit Bird and Tongtian Wind Tiger Beast out of the Spiritual Beast Room for a walk, while his Fire Crow would also enjoy the same benefits.
That's nothing, what really infuriated her was that she actually, actually still wanted to stroke the big tiger's fur!
Every time she combs the old tiger's hair with a small wooden comb, she has to endure its disdain. But who let others be stronger than herself? And with her master as her backing, she endured!
In the afternoon, Mo Qingchen had to go to the warehouse to sort out the medicinal materials that had been piled up for years. After reclassifying and disposing of them one by one, he also needed to stick on labels indicating their uses.
After all this was done, it had become late in the afternoon.
Then Mo Qingchen started going into the kitchen to cook.
In fact, whether it was Mo Qingchen or Gu Li, they could all abstain from food, but what she found strange was that her master still required her to prepare dinner every night.
Of course. All the ingredients are full of spiritual energy, and there are several delicious ones that make Mo Qing dust almost swallow his tongue.
The master and apprentice were drinking the spiritual wine brewed by Mo Qingchen, this moment was a rare comfortable time in a day. Of course, if one ignored the big eagle and old tiger that were also drinking and eating meat together with them.
As for Huo Wu Ya... Cough cough, after all it's one's own spiritual beast. Never mind then.
Mo Qingchen thought that if he didn't practice for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over. But who knew that after finishing these things and returning to the house, he was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed until the second day, and started the same work again.
In Mo Qingchen's increasingly sorrowful and resentful eyes, her calm and composed master remained unmoved. Every time she wanted to protest, she was defeated by his warm gaze.
I, I'm not afraid of him being dissatisfied. I just, just a good disciple who respects the teacher and values the way, every time Mo Qingchen has other thoughts, immediately use this reason to suppress those miscellaneous thoughts, book fans also like to read:.
As the days went by, Mo Qingdun gradually got used to the daily rhythm of life, and that unbearable urge to cultivate actually faded away, as if doing these things was a matter of course.
She even had an illusion that she had left the world of cultivation, where every moment was tense and her heart was tight, and instead lived a secluded life in the countryside.
"The wooden gate is closed, the moon's chill returns to its former place."
Where the gaze converges, cold smoke withers and grass wilts.
A mouthful of fiery smoke and flames, unfinished drinking, scorching throat full of memories.
……
Gazing at snowflakes falling thousands of miles away, I'll hide my green robe.
Across the vast distance, no hope of meeting again.
Again I raise my cup in offering, and in drunkenness ask heaven and earth.
……”
On a warm winter day, Mo Qing sat beside the Tianyin Wind Tiger Beast, one hand skillfully combing its fur with ease, while humming a gentle tune with half-closed eyes.
Gu Li walked out of the bamboo forest after a few days, and what he saw was the scene in front of him. He stood there silently listening to Mo Qingchen hum a little tune, before speaking up: "Qingchen."
Mo Qingchen suddenly raised his head and saw Gu Li return with a smile on his face. He ran over and said, "Master, you're finally back."
"Oh, is one person not enough?" Gu Li saw his little apprentice gradually recovering his childhood liveliness, and a smile involuntarily flowed out from his eyebrows.
Mo Qingchen has been thinking about it these days, no matter what the future holds, but such days are what she used to dream of. Since that's the case, why be so greedy and look for trouble every day?
With this realization, words and actions returned to their usual carefree state.
"Yes, Master. You've been away for a few days, and Qingchen has been facing those three every day, not even having anyone to talk to." Mo Qingchen said with a smile, just joking around.
Little did she know what was going to happen next would leave her speechless.
Xue Yu Ling and Tong Tian Feng Hu simultaneously said: "Who did you say can't speak?"
Every word is clear and standard, can't be more standard.
Even the black crow was making a fuss, cawing loudly.
"You, you guys——" Mo Qingchen stared at the three of them, shocked beyond words.
Gu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Qing Chen, they are fifth-grade spiritual beasts, and they've long been able to speak human language."
Mo Qingchen stared at them tightly, seeing the big tiger with a disdainful expression, and said in a tone that didn't match: "If so, why haven't you ever talked to me?"
The Wind Tiger Beast glanced at her sideways, then lay down beside Gu Li and said slowly: "I'm not even bothered to talk to you, your cultivation is so poor, I don't think much of it. Master still took you on as a disciple, humph!"
Mo Qingchen took a deep breath, turned to Xue Yuling, and saw that Xue Yuling was saying with embarrassment: "Hehe, isn't it because Dahuahua didn't let me take care of you..."
"Master!" Mo Qingchen's eyes widened in shock as he gazed pitifully at Gu Li.
Gu Li comforted her with a pat on the back, and scolded Yi Yu and Hu Tie: "Xiao Yu, Da Hua, from now on you two must not tease Qing Chen again, get along well."
At first, he thought this girl was a bit flighty, but it just so happened that Da Hua had an eccentric personality, and after grinding her down a bit, she turned out to be quite good-natured. It's time to reassign her tasks, Gu Li thought to himself, then said to Mo Qingchen: "Qingchen, from tomorrow on, you can put those miscellaneous tasks aside."
