Su Yishui understood: No wonder Ranran was hesitant to say anything when she saw him letting Wei Yan throw away the quilt, it turned out that the quilt was actually sewn for him by her own hands.
If he hadn't lost his memory, why would he let Wei Yan, that bitch, sleep on that bed?
Thinking of this, Su Yishui looked at Ranran.
Ranran was picking up food for her mother as if nothing had happened, so she naturally interrupted the conversation.
After breakfast, it was time for the disciples of West Mountain to make medicine and meditate. Wei Yan and Wen Chunhui had suffered serious damage during this period and needed to recuperate before they could go down West Mountain to settle accounts with the Brahma Sect.
After regulating his breathing over the Ice Lotus Pond, Ran Ran prepared to return to the alchemy room to refine the elixir.
In this life, her cultivation of elixirs seemed to be far superior to that of her previous life. Perhaps because she was born from the wood element, she had a strong elixir fire, so the elixir she refined was even more effective than Su Yishui's.
However, when refining the elixir, in addition to the ratio of medicinal materials and the blessing of the furnace fire, more importantly, it is the influence of the alchemist's mental strength.
Don't be distracted during the elixir refining process. When the fire in the furnace becomes strong and the temperature no longer changes, you can take a short break.
Ran Ran got up and walked to the window, stretched his waist, but at a glance he saw someone rummaging through buckets in the laundry room, which was separated from the alchemy room by a moon door.
Ran Ran thought that Wei Yan was on the mountain, so she had to be careful, so she walked over quietly.
Unexpectedly, it was Su Yishui who had taken off his shoes and socks and was stepping on a wet quilt in a large wooden barrel.
That quilt...isn't it the one that Su Yishui asked Wei Yan to throw away?
She remembered that Wei Zhen wanted to save trouble by directly picking up the quilt and throwing it into the mountain stream. This...did Su Yishui personally go down the mountain stream to pick up the quilt and bring it back up, and then take it to the laundry room to wash it?
Su Yishui originally thought that she was refining the elixir and would not have time to come to the laundry room, but he did not expect that he would be caught by her while he was washing the quilt.
For a moment, his face was a little stiff and uncomfortable. He stood in the barrel with his trousers rolled up, unable to find an excuse.
But Ran Ran burst out laughing, walked over and pushed him, saying, "How can you wash the quilt like this? I'll take it to the stream and wash it with running water later..."
Su Yishui put on his shoes with a stiff and handsome face, and said in a muffled voice: "That guy threw the quilt onto the branch of the tree in the mountain stream, and the quilt cover was scratched into two holes..."
Ran Ran squatted down and took a look, then raised her head and said, "If you still want this quilt cover, I'll sew it and then embroider bamboo on it, okay?"
This time Su Yishui just said "hmm". Just when Ran Ran was about to leave with the quilt in his arms, he held Ran Ran back, was silent for a while, and then said seriously: "I will find a way to unlock the soul-cleansing talisman..."
This was the first time since Su Yishui lost his memory that he expressed so seriously that he wanted to find the missing memory.
Ranran's heart was suddenly filled with indescribable sadness and sweetness. He said this to mean that she was not the only one who cherished that memory, he also longed to remember the past life with her.
And the reason he said this seemed to be related to the fact that he accidentally threw away the quilt she had sewn herself. Ranran couldn't help but lean over and kiss him on the cheek.
Su Yishui originally expected that the girl would laugh at him, but he didn't expect that she would be so happy.
The self-loathing mood he had when he went out to pick up quilts all over the valley early in the morning suddenly eased a lot. He even felt that such a thoughtless act was not so stupid after all.
But her mouth was still as tough as ever: "Don't you want to marry me? Why are you so frivolous to me?"
Seeing that he was taking advantage of her, Ran Ran couldn't help but snort, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "My mother said that I have been learning skills in the mountains for so many years, and now I am almost nineteen years old. If I don't get married, I will become an old maid. If there is no other young man I like, I will marry you..."
Su Yishui stretched out his hand and pinched her nose: "I really want to marry you! You can be an old maid for the rest of your life!"
Ran Ran didn't expect that he would curse her like this. She couldn't help but bend down and splash the basin of water onto Su Yishui. The two of them laughed and played together for a while, but the accumulated water under their feet made them slippery, and they both sat on the ground.
Wei Yan had just returned from practicing Qigong and was about to change into clean clothes. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the laundry room, he saw Xue Ranran sitting on Su Yishui and laughing.
Damn, there are so many tricks in Xishan! It turns out that this is how the master and disciple usually cultivate to become immortals.
Of course, Wei Yan thought that he was actually more interesting. If Xue Ranran had not been blinded by greed and had followed him, he would have been able to come up with more tricks.
But now Wei Yan just crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "The leaders of all the major sects have been replaced, and the survival of the cultivation path is in jeopardy. Do you two have the taste to play around here? In my opinion, it's better not to save them, and we can all just die together!"
Ran Ran was too lazy to pay attention to Wei Yan's sour words. She just stood up and asked Wei Yan: "Hey, you said you have a way to take us back to Chiyan Mountain. Is it true or false?"
Wei Yan raised his eyelids and snorted coldly: "Of course it's true, but...it depends on Su Yishui's ability."
It turned out that the Red Flame Mountain was very dangerous, and the Red Clan had been operating its headquarters for hundreds of years, with many underground secret passages.
Wei Yan had been making enemies outside for the past few years, and he attached more importance to the safety of his old nest. So in addition to the old secret passages, he also built a few new ones.
He was always ruthless in his actions and did not spare any of the craftsmen who built the tunnels, so only he knew about the number of tunnels.
When he returned to Chiyan Mountain, he checked and found that the old secret passages were indeed blocked. However, the secret passage he built himself was still there.
However, he hadn't slept for several days and felt a little exhausted, so he didn't dare to go in rashly. Now that he had gathered all the people, he could naturally break into the Red Flame Mountain.
Wei Yan actually didn't care much about the life and death of the other sects. He just wanted to take back Chiyan Mountain as soon as possible and take back all the hard work he had put in over the years.
So even though the scenery of West Mountain was pleasant and the food was delicious, he couldn't stay there and just wanted to quickly urge Su Yishui and the others to charge and break through the formation for him.
However, Su Yishui had the cunning look of an old fox. He kept his troops in place and no one knew what he was waiting for.
Wei Yan was bored, so he came to the alchemy room to tease Ran Ran: "He has completely forgotten about you, which shows that he is not loyal to you. Don't you really want to consider me and leave yourself a way out?"
Ran Ran fanned the alchemy furnace vigorously, and the sparks almost splashed on Wei Yan's face. She deliberately imitated Wei Yan's fake smile and said with a crooked mouth: "What are you considering? Considering you abandoning a woman and running away alone in a critical moment?"
She could not forget the way Wei Yan ignored Tu Jiuyi's life or death when they were in the underworld. It was obvious that Tu Jiuyi had more than just a simple relationship with Wei Yan, but it was a pity that she seemed to be in love with an unreliable man.
Speaking of this, Wei Yan's face darkened. After that trip to the underworld, Tu Jiuyi had to recuperate for a long time due to his serious injuries. Later, he mentioned to him several times that his injuries had not healed well, and he wanted to go to the southern branch to manage things and recuperate at the same time.
She wasn't stupid, she didn't say she wanted to leave Akamon directly, otherwise she would be punished for breaking the sect rules. But using the injury as an excuse was annoying.
Who was she? How could she be so rude to him? Was the oath she made when she first entered the Red Gate to sacrifice her life for His Majesty a lie?
However, being interrupted by Ranran, Wei Yan once again remembered the image of the fake person who had transformed into his appearance and was hooking Tu Jiuyi's chin.
At this moment, Wei Yan understood a little bit why Su Yishui asked him to throw away the quilt. He didn't want a woman who was soiled anymore!
Ran Ran had no intention of mocking, but she didn't expect Wei Yan's face to look like it had fallen into a jar of pickled cabbage, sour and smelly. Then he stood up and walked away angrily, throwing his black robe around.
Ran Ran silently remembered that next time Wei Yan came to chat, she would mention Tu Jiuyi to prevent him from hanging around in front of her...
As anxious as Wei Yan was, Master Wen of the Kongshan Sect. She also didn't know the current situation of the Kongshan Sect, so she also came to ask Su Yishui tentatively when they could set off.
Su Yishui's attitude towards Wen Chunhui is relatively gentle.
When Su Yishui was still a disciple of Jiuhua Sect, he once went to Kongshan Sect for trial training, and that was when he met Wen Hongshan. At that time, Wen Hongshan was also a rising star in Kongshan Sect, and he suppressed this Taoist Master Wen everywhere.
When Su Yishui was practicing with them, he could clearly feel that Wen Chunhui's cultivation was actually more solid than Wen Hongshan's, but she knew how to hide her shortcomings and never had the intention of competing with her master.
This was because after the death of Wen Hongshan and Master Wen, the Kongshan Sect had no one left to use, so Wen Chunhui reluctantly stepped forward to take on the responsibility.
So facing this gentle nun, Su Yishui no longer played dumb and said directly: "Wait until Ranran refines the last batch of pills, and then we will set off."
Wen Chunhui was still worried: "We have to go to Chiyan Mountain first, and then go to Kongshan Sect. It's a long way there and back. If we don't set out again, I'm afraid..."
Su Yishui poured a cup of tea, handed it to her, and said calmly: "Who said we have to go to Chiyan Mountain first? After we get down from Xishan, we will immediately go to Kongshan Sect!"
Wei Yan wanted to use him as a long-range spear for charging and breaking into the enemy's formation, so why shouldn't he want to use Wei Yan as a hunting dog?
"But now all the mountain gates are closed, and the Kongshan Sect doesn't have a secret passage like the Chimen Sect. How can we get in?"
Su Yishui didn't care and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way."
Wen Chunhui knew that Su Yishui was a steady person, so she felt a little relieved when she heard him say that.
She was not a gossipy person, so when Wei Yan tried to ask her when Su Yishui decided to set off, she just said she didn't know.
However, Wen Chunhui noticed that Xue Ranran's alchemy furnace was very diligent. While others were refining the elixir as if they were pregnant for ten months, she was refining the elixir just like steaming meat buns. She opened the furnace every few days and picked out dozens of pills at a time.
But the refined golden pills finally fell into the big mouth of Gengjin White Tiger.
The little tiger ate the pills as if they were spiced beans, and made a crunching sound as he chewed the pills made from precious medicinal herbs.
Back then, Gengjin White Tiger was seriously injured, and its body shape changed with its vitality. However, animals are not like humans. If they fail to cultivate Qi, they can only practice Dan cultivation, so their recovery is very slow.
But now it has a hostess whose alchemy skills are improving by leaps and bounds. Refining the elixir is as easy as steaming meat buns. In addition, Wang Suizhi, the God of Wealth, is not only good at predicting wealth, but also good at treasure hunting. These days, he has been transporting all kinds of precious medicinal materials to the mountain. Therefore, Ranran's meat bun elixir furnace opens and closes more happily.
During these ten days, the white tiger's body size continued to grow as its true energy recovered, and it could no longer shrink back to the state of a small white tiger.
It is now twice the size of an ordinary tiger. When it stands up, its white fur sparkles in the sunlight. If you stare into its eyes, you will feel as if your soul is locked up.
The white tiger is a spiritual beast that was born naturally. Even if it has spirituality, it is difficult for it to reach the level of a powerful cultivator.
But now Xue Ranran forced his spirit beast to embark on the path of alchemy cultivation, and it grew dozens of times faster than the usual alchemy cultivators, and it had abundant spiritual energy to ascend to the realm of gods.
Wei Yan was almost frightened by the sudden appearance of the white tiger several times, but it was enough. He couldn't help but ask Xue Ranran: "Is this how you raise tigers in Xishan? If you keep feeding it like this, this tiger will become a spirit!"
Ran Ran ignored him. But she asked Su Yishui privately: "Do you think it's enough? I'm afraid if I continue to feed him like this, Bai Bai won't be able to withstand such a surge in spiritual power."
Su Yishui came to the white tiger basking in the sun. Even when the white tiger was lying down, it looked like a small hill.
He closed his eyes and raised one hand, and the white tiger obediently raised a big white paw and imprinted it with Su Yishui's.
When the man and the tiger faced each other with their palms, it seemed that countless threads of golden light were connecting and entwining between the two palms.
When Su Yishui slowly opened his eyes, golden light flashed in both Baihu's and his eyes.
"It's okay." Su Yishui said affirmatively.
Just a few days ago, he had actually brought White Tiger and secretly went to the Kongshan Sect, which was the closest to Xishan.
Although those spiritual shields can isolate people, just as he guessed, these spiritual shields, like the spiritual shields of Tianmai Mountain, cannot isolate beasts.
However, when he tried to use runes to control the white tiger to go in, the runes were burned to ashes when they entered the spiritual shield.
Therefore, the only way for him to go in and find out the truth is for him to possess the white tiger with his spiritual power like entering the Tianmai Mountain.
But this method was particularly draining of his mental energy. When he came back, both he and Baihu were drained to varying degrees.
At a time when he was surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides, Su Yishui would not allow this method to have such a fatal flaw. The only way was to greatly increase the White Tiger's spiritual energy so that it could achieve a state of unity between man and nature with his own mental power.
Only in this way can he return to his original state and come and go freely.
Now the White Tiger's spiritual power has skyrocketed due to the pills and has reached a perfect state. It is now ready to set out to explore the truth.
It was not until they were about to set out that Wei Yan realized that they were heading to the Kongshan Sect. He was immediately furious and kept shouting that Su Yishui was a good-for-nothing.
Su Yishui drooped his eyelids and said indifferently: "If Your Excellency Wei wants to go far away instead of near, he must go to Chiyan Mountain first. No one will stop you, so you can go on your own."
Wei Yan knew clearly that he could no longer live without Su Yishui. Without him to protect him, he couldn't even get a good night's sleep.
Besides, where could he find a stronger helper than Su Yishui? For now, he could only swallow his anger and follow them, and first try to sneak into the Kongshan Sect to find out what was going on.
It is said that the founding master of the Kongshan Sect was Wen Yian, the elder sister of the Mighty Shield Sky.
She had a crush on her junior fellow apprentice, Duntian. Unfortunately, Duntian fell in love with Rongyao and they became a couple.
When Wen Yian was frustrated, he chose Kongshan, which was opposite to Tianmai Mountain where Duntian practiced Taoism, and established Kongshan School.
She never married and never accepted male disciples. All her disciples were girls, who changed their surnames to Wen when they became disciples.
This is also the reason why the disciples of Kongshan Sect, unlike those of other sects, all have the surname Wen.
However, Ran Ran heard from Wen Chunhui on the way that their master's secular name was not Wen at all. This "Wen" was actually the secular surname of the great shield sky.
Ran Ran understood immediately. Master Yi An was unable to obtain the love he wanted, so he trapped himself in the empty mountain and started to deceive himself with daydreams.
She never married, but took her senior brother's secular surname. She never gave birth to or raised children, but raised a group of daughters with the surname Wen.
If you think about it carefully, the top of Kongshan is facing Tianmai Mountain. When Immortal Yi An was facing Tianmai Mountain, she knew that her fellow apprentice had already started a family and had children. But she was immersed in the beautiful dream of having children for him. Isn't it a kind of sadness?
When they arrived at the foot of the empty mountain, before they got close to the mountain, they saw a tall black tower reaching into the clouds in the distance.
Wei Yan had seen the black tower built on the Red Flame Mountain before. Although he didn't know its purpose, the sight of it filled him with awe.
In addition to four apprentices, Su Yishui also brought Yu Chen and Wang Suizhi this time.
The advantage of bringing the God of Wealth with you is that besides the fact that there are shops to stay at along the way, Wang Suizhi, a fortune teller who is born with a compass, can tell at a glance whether it will be a good day to go out.
As a result, they arrived at the town at the foot of the empty mountain. After they temporarily settled down, Wang Suizhi stood at the door of the inn and looked for a long time, shook his head and said: "No matter how I look at it, there are dangers everywhere, and there is no sign of survival..."
Wei Yan was feeling depressed the whole way. He sneered at Wang Suizhi's words and said, "Do you really think you are a fortune teller? If it is up to you, the best strategy is to stay away from him."
But Wang Suizhi said seriously, "It's too late. Now there is no way back. As soon as we leave the town, there are ominous signs everywhere."
His ability to discern the gates of life and death does not appear often. He usually only has this feeling when he is at a critical moment of life and death.
After entering the town, Wang Suizhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He sat on the chair, swaying as if he was sick.
Wei Yan was very disgusted by such talk that shook the morale of the troops on the battlefield. For a moment, Chimen Zun's temper surged up, and he sneered and said, "Since you are so powerful, have you calculated that today may be the day of your death..."
As he said this, he drew out the sword from his body, turned his wrist, and stabbed straight at Wang Suizhi.
Wang Suizhi was terrified and watched the sword coming at him, but it was too late to dodge.
Xue Ranran picked up a candied fruit and used his spiritual energy to throw it out, hitting the sword. The sword tilted and passed by Wang Suizhi.
Wang Suizhi suppressed his fear and said, "I can't tell when I will live or die, but I can tell that I will have good fortune today, so I don't think I will die today. But if you leave this inn today, I'm afraid you will get into big trouble!"
Wei Yan had not expected that this money-grubbing businessman would be so aggressive and keep pretending to be a charlatan. He even wanted to go over and teach him a lesson.
Ran Ran protected Wang Suizhi and said coldly, "How dare you touch my disciple?"
Although Ranran seems like a pretty, easy-going and kind girl on weekdays, once she protects her cub, the fierceness of a mother wolf bursts out from her eyes.
Everyone knew twenty years ago that none of the disciples in Xishan had any ability, but there was a tigress master who was very good at helping his disciples.
If you mess with the disciples of Xishan, their master will really come riding a tiger to settle the score with you.
After being glared at by Xue Ranran, Wei Yan felt for a moment as if Mu Qingge was standing in front of him with murderous aura, and he couldn't help but take a step back out of habit.
The unshaven Wang Suizhi hid behind Ranran with a happy look on his face, as if he was an old chick under the wings of a hen, feeling the long-lost love and care from his master.
Su Yishui on the side glared at him coldly, as if if he dared to harm Ran Ran, Su Yishui would immediately possess the white tiger and tear him apart alive.
Wei Yan knew that he was all alone now, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the stupidity of the disciples from Xishan. He snorted coldly, walked out of the inn and went for a walk on the street.
Xue Ranran knew Wang Suizhi's ability, thought for a moment and said, "Since Wang Suizhi said this place is dangerous, let's just believe it and stay in the inn for a day. We'll consider whether to go to Kongshan tomorrow."
Wen Chunhui also nodded. She has always been easy-going, very different from those people like Kaiyuan Zhenren who like to show off. Since she has joined Xishan, she naturally has to listen to the opinions of the majority.
So the group stayed in the inn to rest.
Not long after, Wei Yan also came back from the inn, but he did not come back alone, but brought a woman with him.
Ranran looked carefully and found that it was Tu Jiuyi who was supposed to be in Chiyan Mountain.
At this moment, Su Yishui suddenly moved his fingers, and a white tiger lying in the yard stood up, sobbing and roaring at the two men, shaking the hair on their ears slightly.
Ran Ran also stood at the door and asked, "Tu Jiuyi? How did you get here?"
Tu Jiuyi glanced at Wei Yan beside him and said, "When I first welcomed the Lord back, I soon realized that there was something wrong with him and he showed many flaws. Later, I accidentally saw the real Lord wandering at the foot of the mountain and immediately understood. So I found an opportunity to escape down the mountain through a secret passage, and I came all the way here, and finally met the Lord."
Wei Yan then spoke up: "She has learned a lot of secrets, let her come in and talk slowly..."
As they spoke, the two of them started to walk into the house.
Ran Ran followed Su Yishui's gaze and looked at the sun crown in the yard calmly, sneering and saying, "Your Excellency Wei, weren't you very impressive just now? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"
Wei Yan sneered, "When did I say that? Don't try to test me."
As he spoke, he was about to walk into the yard. At this time, the sun's corona was just pointing to the noon mark. The white tiger stepped back slightly, allowing the sunlight to pour into the yard.
Ran Ran lowered her head and took a closer look. There was no shadow at the feet of the two people standing at the gate of the courtyard.
