Yangzhou, Kuancang Mountain.

Shi Liuli walked happily in the mountains, sometimes touching the bushes growing around him, and sometimes running to the edge of the cliff to look down.

Perhaps because she was born on an island and rarely comes to the mainland, she has a special liking for mountain scenery.

But this attitude that clearly showed that they were here for an outing made Luo Yan unable to help but complain in his heart.

What about exploring the secret place? Even if you want to go out and have fun, at least pretend to do it!

If that was the case, he wouldn't be that worried... He was just afraid that Miss Shi would be too playful and miss the best time to be "trapped", which would make it troublesome for him to not have time to go back for help.

He had to strictly control the time without Shi Liuli noticing.

"The Taoist temple is in front." Luo Yan said.

"I want to live there!" Shi Liuli said immediately.

"Senior sister."

"Um?"

"Are we here to explore the secret place or to travel?" Luo Yan asked weakly.

Shi Liuli thought for a moment and said:

"Junior brother."

"Um?"

"Did you find the secret place when you came here before?"

"That's not the case..." Luo Yan stretched out his voice.

"Have you ever lived in a Taoist temple?"

“No…”

"Then how do you know that staying in the Taoist temple for a few days will not help in finding the entrance to the secret realm?" Shi Liuli smiled with narrowed eyes.

Luo Yan: ...

Slippery slope fallacy, right?

Of course, he couldn't say at this time that the entrance mechanism had nothing to do with staying in the Taoist temple, otherwise he would be asked to "produce evidence."

Therefore, Luo Yan could only pretend to be embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Of course you can, but you must not stay here for too long. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to Master!"

"Okay." Shi Liuli showed an expression that said "I really can't do anything about you", which made Luo Yan extremely angry again.

The two men entered the Taoist temple and asked the three old Taoist priests to stay overnight.

In this era, it is very normal to travel to the mountains and stay overnight in Buddhist temples or Taoist temples. After all, you can also contribute incense money.

The three old Taoist priests readily agreed and even took out the temple's treasured tea to entertain the two.

It's cold in winter, and it's fun to set up a stove in the yard to make tea and warm your hands at the same time... Luo Yan was thinking about this when he saw Shi Liuli holding a fire tong and stuffing firewood into the stove with great interest.

"Why don't you use the magic weapon to control fire?" Luo Yan asked curiously, "Don't you have the magic fire lamp?"

"I didn't bring it." Shi Liuli answered confidently.

When the water in the kettle was boiled, Miss Shi picked up the kettle and brewed a cup of tea for the two of them.

Then she performed another spell - she put her hands together and chanted softly "The water crystal of the morning star, reflecting the northern sea". Then cold starlight poured out from her palms like a streak of silk and fell into the tea. The rising hot steam from it dissipated immediately.

"What is this?" Luo Yan asked again.

"The new method your senior sister is practicing is called 'Right Six Yuan Hollow Star Essence Talisman'." Shi Liuli narrowed his eyes and smiled, "How is it? Isn't it amazing?"

"Is it a derivative of your Qi-refining technique?" Luo Yan asked.

"Um."

The Secret Records of the Five Dimensions of the Heaven was a technique that Miss Shi had obtained during her last trip to the Li Palace. According to Elder Shi Ding's appraisal, it should be a rare Qi-refining technique that used the power of the stars to assist in breathing, so it was not surprising that there would be derivative Taoist techniques.

Judging from the effects of this technique, it seems to be some kind of icy technique... However, it is used by Miss Shi to cool down tea, which is quite consistent with her personality.

Luo Yan picked up the somewhat cold teacup and took a sip of tea, but found that the temperature was just right and not too cold.

He looked at Shi Liuli sitting opposite him with a lazy and lingering look, drinking tea comfortably. The slight movement of her throat showed the exquisiteness of her neck.

Looking down, it was a little bit regrettable. However, considering her innocent and childlike personality, this figure was normal.

"What are you looking at!" Shi Liuli suddenly noticed his regretful look, and immediately slammed her palm on the stone table, shaking the stove. A beautiful anger appeared on her pretty face.

"Senior Sister, your dress looks very nice today." Luo Yan withdrew his gaze without changing his expression and said calmly.

"Oh, really?" Shi Liuli's anger immediately disappeared, he stared at his clothes for a long while, revealing a satisfied expression as if to say "You have good taste".

Penglai, like Kunlun and Shushan, has its own standard Taoist robes, but most disciples do not like to wear them.

Miss Shi is the most exaggerated. She has probably hundreds of dresses in Tiangong Workshop. Theoretically, she can wear a different one 365 days a year.

However, whether it was the master or the senior brothers and sisters, they were all very serious cultivators who did not care about the beauty of food and clothing... When Luo Yan praised her at this moment, she immediately felt a sense of confidant, "My junior brother still understands me."

"So which dress do you think looks better, the one I'm wearing today or the one I wore yesterday?" Miss Shi asked complacently.

Luo Yan: ????? ?????

This question stumped him! After all, for Miss Shi, yesterday was the day before yesterday, and for Luo Yan... there were several months of Qiu Changtian, Ling Yunpo, and Wei Dongliu in between!

Damn it! If I were asked this question tomorrow, how could I not be able to answer it?

"Ajing, help me!" Seeing Shi Liuli's face gradually becoming suspicious, Luo Yan hurriedly asked for help from the young lady who accompanied him.

The Kunlun Mirror was silent for a moment, sighed, and then projected the scene of Luo Yan's line the day before in front of him.

"Today's dress is still better!" Luo Yan immediately pretended to think, and then replied, "Today's dress has a more ethereal temperament. Yesterday's dress was too heavy and it seemed to cover up Senior Sister's beauty."

"That's right!" Shi Liuli smiled. "My father picked out the dress yesterday. I told you he has no aesthetic sense at all!"

"Master also picks clothes for you?" Luo Yan asked with a smack of his lips.

"He always complains that the clothes I wear are not serious enough." Shi Liuli snorted coldly, "What do you think, little junior brother?"

"Nothing." Luo Yan stared at the snow-white skin under her neck and said quickly.

There is no low-cut or V-neck, so how can it be exposed? The master is really an antique! No, the Yuanying elder has a lifespan of a thousand years, so he is indeed an antique... In addition, he is an old father to his daughter, so he can be said to be doubly conservative.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt a little uneasy again.

I guess my master won't hate me for abducting Miss Shi like this?

Alas, I was also thinking about him. Once he finds out how to avoid the disaster, he will understand my painstaking efforts!

After drinking tea, the two went out for a walk.

Walking leisurely all the way to Ruan Lang Pavilion, Shi Liuli stared at the words engraved on the cliff and asked:

"Is this the place?"

"Yes. According to records, Yang Yin got drunk here and entered the secret realm." Luo Yan replied.

"Hmm." Miss Shi continued to look at the inscriptions and suddenly said, "Do you think the entrance to the secret realm is behind this cliff?"

Luo Yan was startled, and heard Shi Liuli say again:

"Why don't you try using Taoism to bombard it and find out?"
