Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Why does the Master seem to have a thing for brooms...
After Huo Xuexiang took the time to teach Bai Lu some rare characters, he gave her homework and left in style, leaving the audience confused.
If it weren't for the fact that Jun Tian Jian Zun was so impressive in the rumors, they would have thought they were being fooled...
Even the Xuanshan disciples who knew a little about Bailu's habits couldn't help but wonder: Does it have to be so mysterious? !
Bai Lu turned around and saw that everyone was still staring at him with strange faces. These guys who were taking classes for free... He said unhappily, "Haven't you heard enough of my master's class? Still watching, still watching."
Everyone: “…”
This was simply the most unjustified and aggrieved time for them...
But seeing the Sword Master's disciples like this, people began to doubt again. Did they not understand the deep meaning just now? No, they still have to memorize it and review it from time to time, just in case they really understand something in the future.
Bai Lu didn't care about them. He just sat down on the mat and thought for himself.
When and how should I tell Master? Should I tell him face to face later? How much should I reveal? And Master is still protecting the Fa, he is always online and offline, it's really annoying...
Bailu remained in a daze until she arrived at Huanhuazhou.
He thought he had hidden it well, but when he stood up and prepared to get off the bird, Ding Douhua came over carefully and asked, "Brother, that word is actually not that difficult. You can just remember it separately. There is a word for rain on top..."
"...Ahhh, I remember it!" Bai Lu glared at her. This was how his junior sister looked down on him. "How could I not remember even the most uncommon characters? I was thinking about something else."
"I was just wondering why you're so depressed, brother." Ding Douhua comforted him, "It's okay, I'll go to Huanhuazhou and catch a chicken to cook for you."
"Thank you, Junior Sister..."
When you step onto the land of Huanhuazhou, you will feel the different climate here. The roadside is full of jacaranda trees in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers is flowing everywhere.
"Huanhuazhou and Weiruizhou were both places where the Wood Clan flourished in ancient times. Until today, Weiruizhou is sparsely populated, while Huanhuazhou has gradually become a human settlement. However, there are still more Wood Clan people than in other places. This is also because many areas here are like spring all year round, which is suitable for the growth of plants and trees." Ning Yanhu explained to his junior brothers and sisters.
"Especially Huanhua Island, where the Green Emperor attained enlightenment. Rumor has it that the weather here was actually changed by the Green Emperor, so it is spring all year round."
As Ning Yanhu was talking, he noticed that Bai Lu was squatting on the side of the road, distracted.
"...Bai Lu, what are you doing?" Ning Yanhu shouted helplessly.
"Look at this!" Bai Lu turned sideways, revealing what he was looking at. From a tree hole, a group of little men only one foot tall walked out. The red willows were in bloom, and they all had wreaths made of red willow branches on their heads, cheering at Bai Lu.
The little guys were all smiling and happy, and he was almost cheering along with them.
“Oh——” Seeing this, the others also gathered around, but the little people clenched their fists at them unhappily.
"You're blocking the sun. Move away a little." Bai Lu directed everyone to let in the sunlight, and the little people became happy again.
"These are the natives of Huanhua Island, a type of the Wood Tribe." Ning Yanhu also leaned forward slightly and said, "The body shapes of the Wood Tribe vary greatly. Some are as big as giant trees, and some are as tiny as moss. They are called Fungus People. Generally speaking, the lifespan of the Wood Tribe is very long."
These little red willow people are of medium size, generally small, but not as small as the fungus people.
These little people usually dance around, and I wanted to pull them to dance with me, but unfortunately their body sizes didn’t quite match.
"We are leaving." Bai Lu squatted down and said reluctantly, stretching out her hand to wave goodbye to them. The wizard who loved to be close to nature had a special liking for the Wood Tribe.
A little red willow man held the finger that Bailu stretched out, took a red willow ring from his head, and put it on Bailu's finger.
"Ring!" Bai Lu held it up and smiled. This flower and tree ring and his gemstone ring were placed side by side, surprisingly harmonious.
The little people from the Wood Clan who I met for the first time also liked the wizard who was full of natural atmosphere!
"Qiusuo, do you feel close to them?" Bai Lu asked the wooden puppet, "You are also made of wood, so you are at least half related to them, right? Are you relatives? Are you of the same species?"
The search was paused again.
Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, the creatures we are looking for are still average, Bai Lu thought.
Qiu Suo Ka Ka finally answered: "Young Master, although I am a wood element, I am not a wood clan."
"Seeking the truth now is also a weird thing." Luo Luo Bird raised his head and said, "It's normal that you humans can't tell the difference!"
A few days' journey inland from the Huanhuazhou coast will lead to the destination of this trip, Yujing Palace.
Because of the Red Dust Trial, the area around Yujing Palace was bustling with activity; before the competition officially started, cultivators had already gathered and were doing business.
Bai Lu saw that this is tourism boosting the local economy...
"I'll go find someone to receive you." Because Yujing Palace was busy, the mountain gate was full of people, gathering visitors from who knows how many days. Ning Yanhu asked them to wait while he went to find someone to meet them.
I don’t know if it was because there were too many people or what, but Ning Yanhu was gone for a long time. Luo Luo looked around and decided to find a Yujing disciple to ask.
The school uniforms of Yujing Palace disciples are mainly blue and red. Luo Luo saw a disciple who was in charge of reception sitting on a tree stump. Luo Luo stepped forward and said, "Brother Dao, I would like to ask for your advice..."
The Yujing Palace disciple raised his eyes and looked at him: "Please speak?"
"My senior sister has been in for a while and hasn't come out. I want to ask what's going on."
Bai Lu and the others saw Luo Luo stretch his neck a little, but the other party's eyes continued to move upwards, refusing to look into his eyes.
"The Red Dust Trial is about to begin, and people are coming and going." The disciple of Yujing Palace said, "Wait a moment, I will ask for you."
He said so, but did not move immediately.
Luo Luo came back and sighed, "The people of Huanhua Island are really lazy."
"It's not a matter of laziness, it's too arrogant, too high-minded, and rolling your eyes to the sky!" Ding Douhua said angrily, "If you have the guts, wait for my Senior Brother Pei to come and see who rolls his eyes the most."
Others: “…”
Bai Lu also asked in confusion: "Does he discriminate against Senior Brother Luo Luo because he is of the Feather Clan? Senior Brother Luo Luo, is this the kind of sect you mentioned that looks down on other races?"
Luo Luo had given them an example before, saying that some sects would strictly check that their ancestors for eighteen generations and three previous lives were not from other races before accepting disciples.
However, when he saw Liang Mangu and Meng Caiqing remained silent, he wondered if there was something else going on. Sure enough -
"That's not the case. Don't be angry." Luo Luo had a bad temper to begin with. He was very annoyed with the disciple just now. Now that he heard them complaining about him, he said, "You may not know because you are young. Yujing Palace is good at observing qi. When they founded the sect, they observed the feng shui of the place. When they appraised treasures, they observed the treasure's qi... Just now, he should have just been observing my qi. Alas, all the people in Yujing Palace are like this. As a result, when they were not as famous as they are now, they were often beaten by Taoist friends who didn't know the truth when they went out."
Everyone: “…Okay.”
Fortunately, Ning Yanhu soon came out, accompanied by a middle-aged monk with a long beard. He smiled at everyone he saw, but after Luo Luo said that, everyone noticed that he often looked at people, but not so obviously. "There are many people here recently. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
"Why don't you thank me, senior? This is the Taoist Shang Heng Xia Yang, the master of Tian Xuan Peak of Yu Jing Palace." Ning Yanhu introduced, "The Taoist is an old friend of the sect master, and he personally received us."
No wonder it took so long, it turned out that he had to report to the higher-ups. Xuanshan still had some face, and the peak master came to pick up the representative teams.
Only Bai Lu in the back exclaimed: "How come they also have Tianxuan Peak? It's a mistake on the map..."
"Well, Senior Brother, we are all named after stars. Many sects like to use stars to name their sects. If we also encounter a sect that uses a mountain as its residence, then it is a complete coincidence of names." Ding Douhua whispered, "My senior sister said that after going out for study, her mind is so confused that she can hardly remember anything."
After all, everyone may use the same star to name a place, but their functions are different. For example, the Tianxuan Peak here is definitely not the same lineage as Xuanshan.
Bai Lu suddenly realized, is this just like how many schools in China have a Yucai Building and every city has a National Day Road?
There are also many peaks in Yujing Palace. They are not as high as the thousands of mountains and valleys of Xuanshan, but they are beautiful mountains with lush vegetation and various exotic flowers that decorate it like a fairy tale world, which makes wizards love it.
"Yeah, it's also very good feng shui." Liang Mangu couldn't help but shake his head and said, there is abundant spiritual energy, "No wonder it is said that the Yujing Palace's Qi-observing technique can be practiced to the extreme and can even gather Qi into a state."
"Of course it's good feng shui. Did you see how big that melon has grown!" Bai Lu was admiring the potted plants they had here. They had fruit, and they were huge. They had a strange fragrance and a very strong taste. You could tell at first glance that they were delicious.
Taoist Master Hengyang took them around the public areas of Yujing Palace and admired several local flowers.
"Which peak of yours is this disciple from? Look at this pair of blue eyes, what race is he from?" Taoist Hengyang asked with a smile when he saw Bai Lu smelling the fruit fragrance.
"This is Junior Brother Bai Lu, the top disciple among our recent disciples who entered the mountain. He is extremely talented in alchemy." Ning Yanhu introduced.
When Daojun Hengyang heard that he had great talent for alchemy, he thought that he was from the alchemy lineage and said politely, "You are a young talent."
"Thank you, Daojun. You are also very talented." Bai Lu replied fluently, "By the way, Daojun, I don't think I heard where the cafeteria is just now?"
Taoist Hengyang was stunned for a moment.
Ning Yanhu smiled slightly and dragged Bai Lu behind him, "Junior Brother Bai Lu is still young and has not yet practiced fasting..."
I can't continue talking, if I say any more I'll be exposed, and Taoist Hengyang should know that none of them practice fasting this year!
"Oh, it's okay, young man. I'll ask my disciples to send some fruits and vegetables from Huanhua Island. They have the effect of nourishing spiritual energy. And the melon that your junior brother just kept looking at tastes good too." Taoist Master Hengyang was very considerate. "Fellow Taoists from all over the world have gathered here. I have things to do, so I won't stay with you for long."
"Thank you, Taoist Master." Ning Yanhu quickly led everyone to pay their respects. After all, they were giving face to their master.
After Daojun Hengyang left, Bai Lu asked Ning Yanhu, "Big Sister, why do you say I'm learning Dan Ding? I'm clearly a disciple of Dianmei Peak."
"Did I say that? I just said that you have a talent for Dan Ding. Am I wrong?" Ning Yanhu said calmly, "I'm only doing this for your own good. If you tell people that you are from Dian Meifeng, I don't know how many people will want to fight with you. Let's see if you are afraid!"
News spreads fast here. After Liuxian Gorge, I'm afraid many people would like to know that the Sword Master's disciple has also come to the mortal world to test his prowess. It's better to keep it a secret if possible.
"I'm not afraid..." Bai Lu said in a low voice.
In order to host the Red Dust Trial, Yujing Palace has opened up many residences, including training venues. As long as you successfully register, you can apply for accommodation and stay there during the competition.
After Bai Lu and her classmates checked in, the people from Yujing Palace sent them fresh fruits as promised. They were juicy and sweet.
Bai Lu ate the whole thing while holding it in her arms, and sighed sincerely: "Food is in Xuanshan, and fruit is in Yujing."
Everyone: “…”
Liang Mangu hesitated: "...It should be that the Tao is in Xuanshan!"
He was almost in a trance. He didn't know whether Guo was in Yujing or not, but he came to Xuanshan to cultivate immortality, right?
...But it doesn't matter. Jian was originally pointing at Meifeng, but it was disrupted by Brother Bai.
Although Ning Yanhu had been to the Red Dust Trial before, the organizer was different and she rarely came to Huanhuazhou. She took everyone out to socialize and found some fellow Taoists from other sects whom she had known before.
The eldest sister was a social person, so she had assigned an area to her younger brothers and sisters and told them not to go out to play.
From now on, the market is almost formed. The outlaws are strolling around excitedly and saying that they want to learn from how others do business. They have also prepared things to sell.
Bailu went on a shopping spree, buying many novelties and piling them all in the mustard seed jar.
In particular, he discovered that some local monks were selling local specialties. The flowers and plants in Huanhua Island were very unique, so he spent a lot of money on them. He believed that his master would be happy for him.
Moreover, the number of Wood Tribe in Huanhua Island is indeed far greater than that in other islands. Bai Lu has never seen so many in Xuanshan. She couldn't help but be distracted. She saw a small Wood Tribe walking on the road and said in surprise: "It seems to be another Red Willow Little Man!"
"That's not it, that's Shanglu God." Meng Caiqing took a glance and said, "Brother Bai, it has the innate ability to predict future events, but most of them are trivial matters."
The Shanglu God was clearly at a distance, but he turned around swiftly and cursed in a thin voice: "What trifles, can you speak?"
Yeah, it's quite fierce, not as cute as the red willow figurine. Bai Lu wanted to complain, but he looked at the ring on his hand that was still fresh and shiny - he used magic to keep this plant ring fresh.
"Do you have any taste? I'm so cute." Shang Lushen seemed to know Bai Lu's thoughts and ran towards him.
"!" Bai Lu didn't know why he was chasing her, and she ran forward subconsciously.
The little man, who was less than a foot tall, was chasing after me, yelling and jumping up from time to time: "Ah? Am I cute? Are you going to say it or not?"
Bai Lu ran and shouted: "Ahhh, stop chasing me! I'm going to step on you! I didn't even say why—"
Everyone: “…”
.
In addition to catching up on the past, Ning Yanhu's social activities naturally include inquiring about the situation of this competition and whether there are any strong opponents. The second thing is to ask if anyone knows about the monk riding a broom.
Unfortunately, everyone was as confused as the cultivators in Liuxian Gorge that day. Even the well-informed cultivators didn't know which of their colleagues had this sudden inspiration. What did you mean by refining a broom?
However, the matter of Liuxian Gorge has spread like wildfire, and many people have heard the new legend of this place - the good news is that the specific image of the Sword Master's disciple does not seem to have been spread yet.
Ning Yanhu went out with questions in mind, and returned to the camp with questions in mind. It happened that Immortal Lord Boluan finally had time to communicate with her using a magic tool. The two discussed the affairs of Xuanshan and the situation of their fellow disciples who had returned to the mountain.
Ning Yanhu naturally asked, "Master, do you know any cultivator who uses a broom as a magic weapon?"
The originally tired Bo Luan Immortal Lord suddenly perked up, "What do you mean?"
…
"Master, haven't you finished protecting the Supreme Elder? Why did he take so long to ascend?" Bai Lu said to the black-clothed puppet. Huo Xuexiang connected to Bluetooth to see him again.
"...It's almost over." Huo Xuexiang said. He was also a little tired. It seemed like a rare relaxation after being distracted to this point.
The two of them walked around the camp, listening to Bai Lu talking about what happened during the day. Bai Lu bought a lot of things. He found that some local vendors in Huanhua Island like to use flowers that look like bells with stems to package their products, or give them as gifts. This seems to be a rare flower in Huanhua Island. When the wind blows, it really makes a crisp sound, so it is called Hualing.
Bai Lu tied the flower bell on her head as a headband. The flower stalk was as silky as silk, and a pair of white bell-shaped flowers hung down. Every time she shook it, the bells rang softly.
Huo Xuexiang looked at him and smiled.
It was also at this time that he ran into Ning Yanhu.
Ning Yanhu saw the black-clothed puppet smiling and recognized that it should be his uncle.
Immortal Lord Bo Luan was on the Jinyutai, while Huo Xuexiang's original body had been protecting the Grand Elder. Both of them were in Xuanshan, but it was Ning Yanhu who was thousands of miles away who could see Huo Xuexiang. She lowered her hand and greeted him.
"Senior Sister, what are you doing?" Bai Lu asked.
"Uncle-master, junior brother. I will borrow the energy of Taiyin to open the magic weapon and listen to the master's orders." Ning Yanhu said. Well, in fact, most of the time, she was the one who told the master to remember to finish the miscellaneous tasks.
When the Immortal Bo Luan in the magic weapon heard the voice, he became excited, "Is it Junior Brother? Come quickly, come quickly."
Huo Xuexiang asked slowly: "What's the matter, Sect Master?"
"I was thinking that you were protecting the Dharma, so it was inconvenient to look for you." Boluan Immortal Lord laughed. He just learned from Ning Yanhu that his prophecy had actually come true, and he was very excited. "Do you remember that when you helped the disciples break the formation in Liuxian Gorge, there was another cultivator in the formation who helped break the formation together? Hu Zi just told me that the cultivator used a broom as a magic weapon..."
Bai Lu: ! !
Talking about me!
Bai Lu immediately raised her head to look at Huo Xuexiang, but unfortunately her master was in puppet form and they could only look at each other for a moment before he quickly turned away. She couldn't see his expression clearly, she only saw that he was frowning.
Huo Xuexiang didn't know what he was thinking, but he subconsciously interrupted Immortal Bo Luan and said, "Master, there's no need to say anything!"
In fact, the prophecy is just a possibility. When Immortal Lord Boluan saw the elements of his prophecy appear, he was excited for a moment. He did not expect that his junior brother would be very disgusted when he mentioned it, which made him stunned. He had just refuted it lightly before.
Did he think that love was predestined and there was no need to force a prophecy, or did he dislike things like he said that day? Or did he simply have no idea about a Taoist partner? After all, he was now concentrating on teaching his disciples all day long.
"Well, I won't say it. I just find it very interesting that there really is someone..." Immortal Lord Boluan muttered.
Ning Yanhu and Bai Lu looked at each other, both confused.
Boluan Immortal Lord had failed to make predictions too many times, and he didn't dare to tell anyone about his unfulfilled prophecies. Ning Yanhu just saw him get excited when he heard the word "broom", but he didn't know what it meant, and now he was even more confused. Could it be that the elders knew the monk who used the broom?
Bai Lu was even more worried. She had been thinking about this matter in the first place, and now she couldn't help but tentatively said, "It's quite interesting to use a broom as a magic weapon. He must be a good person."
Immortal Boluan also muttered: "That's right."
Huo Xuexiang had once felt strangely worried about this prophecy when he mistakenly thought that Bai Lu had taken in the little broom fairy, but at that time Bai Lu had said with certainty that he would use the broom. But at this time, there was probably another person who really used the broom as a magic weapon, but Huo Xuexiang found that he was only unhappy, and even did not want the sect leader to spread this nonsense.
The same prophecy, but such different feelings.
Huo Xuexiang didn't know what he meant. After a while, he just repeated coldly, "Master, I have no interest in brooms. It's nonsense."
He glanced at Bai Lu again, lowered his head, but his tone had softened a lot, "Master is leaving first, don't eat too many fruits and vegetables, they are cold."
Bai Lu stood there, a little confused...
No, why does his master seem to be a little prejudiced against brooms? ?
