Chapter 141: Gangyuan Sword Seed, Enlightenment Tea
Silently.
The Zhenwu sect has already begun to take action.
From the outside, the Zhenwu Sect seemed to be thriving, but what they didn't know was that the Zhenwu Sect had already begun selecting its members to hide, but all this was done in secret, and except for a few people, the rest of the people were completely unaware of it.
certainly.
This is just one of the preparations for insurance purposes.
Their greater efforts were still placed on delaying the pace of the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang, and sending a secret letter to King Zhenbei was one of their efforts.
besides.
Taoist Longshan was also actively trying to find out all the news about the Demon Sect and the Southern Xinjiang Headquarters.
And these few days.
Jiang Baishan took Lin Ruhua to meet his fellow disciples. He knew that his master had made up his mind and he could not change it. Although he was in pain, he could only cherish the last few days he could spend with everyone.
As Taoist Longshan said, it is really difficult to decide.
Lin Ruhua came to the same conclusion after careful consideration. She had previously thought that the Demon Sect was much more powerful than the Zhenwu Sect, and her mother might not be responsible for this matter. But if her mother really confronted the Zhenwu Sect and confronted Taoist Longshan, how should she deal with it?
The two thought a lot and finally had to admit that Taoist Longshan's arrangement was the best.
However, Lin Ruhua couldn't help feeling a little guilty, always thinking that Jiang Baishan and herself were doing a disservice to the Zhenwu Sect by secluding themselves from the world. But she couldn't find a better solution for the moment. She thought that before completely severing ties with the Demon Sect and living in seclusion, she would try her best to find out more secrets for the Zhenwu Sect about how the Demon Sect achieved the Martial Saint.
This was the most valuable thing she could do, and it also helped relieve the guilt for herself and Jiang Baishan.
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Zhenwu Peach Festival has arrived.
The Qiudao Temple is particularly lively today.
Just because there are two new faces in this year's Zhenwu Peach Festival.
One is naturally the eleventh disciple Li Ling, and the other is Lin Ruhua.
Over the past year, Li Ling's ears had become calloused from hearing Zhuang Chen mention the Zhenwu Peach Festival. Now that he finally had the chance to participate in it, his little face flushed with excitement.
He enjoyed the harmonious atmosphere among his fellow apprentices, which was something he could never experience in the Zhenbei Palace.
After joining the Zhenwu Sect, his sense of belonging to the Zhenwu Sect has grown day by day, and he has now completely regarded the Zhenwu Sect as his second home.
"This is a toast to Xiao Shiyi!" Everyone raised their glasses and laughed.
Li Ling stood up quickly. This time, he asked the Zhenbei Palace to send a lot of delicacies, which added a bit of brilliance to the Peach Party.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Nine, for the peach fruit, and Senior Sister Three, for the peach wine. These are the most delicious peach fruit and wine I have ever tasted in my life!"
Hearing Li Ling's words, Ye Qinghe smiled widely.
"Xiao Shiyi has a good eye. If you want to drink in the future, just tell me and I will give you some special treatment!"
Her winemaking skills are now much different than before. She specializes in peach blossom wine and can even rival the white ape. Everyone saw the changes and saw how far Ye Qinghe has come. They were amazed but also happy for Ye Qinghe. Her example shows that as long as one has passion, no matter how poor one's talent is, one can achieve something.
"This cup is for the 'traitor' Xiaowu among us, and also for Ruhua!"
As Luo Wentian finished speaking, everyone laughed even more happily.
Jiang Baishan was the first among many true disciples to have a Taoist partner. As for the others, they hadn't even seen the shadow of a Taoist partner.
There were smiles and blessings in everyone's eyes. Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua were already inseparable.
Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua stood up and looked at each other, and they both saw the feelings in each other's eyes.
"Thank you all, brothers, sisters and fellow students!"
"Today, I invite you all to witness that Ruhua and I will become husband and wife!"
Jiang Baishan's words were firm and powerful.
In the last few days, they wanted to get the blessings from their closest people. Last night they went to see Taoist Longshan and got his approval. Today they told everyone the good news. Although they cannot hold the wedding for the time being, it does not prevent them from strengthening their bond with each other.
To some extent, this also reflects the two people's determination to live and die together.
Everyone was stunned at first.
Then they were all surprised.
Neither of them cared about those cumbersome etiquettes. Since Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua had already recognized each other, they would be husband and wife from now on.
"Good boy, Xiaowu, you really can't judge a person by his appearance!"
"Such a big thing was done without any notice! It was so sudden that we didn't even have time to prepare any gifts for you!"
"Fifth Brother, we want to eat wedding candy!"
Everyone laughed.
Jiang Baishan was deeply moved.
"The wedding candies have been prepared for you a long time ago!" Lin Ruhua and Jiang Baishan picked up the wedding candies specially purchased from Zhenwu City and distributed them one by one.
Everyone was eating the wedding candy, feeling happy but also a little sad.
As we ate, we fell silent.
They all knew Lin Ruhua's identity, and they also knew that Jiang Baishan would go down the mountain and leave after today, and they might not see each other for several years. Although everyone deliberately avoided this matter today, when Jiang Baishan mentioned that they were already married, a little sadness inevitably welled up in their hearts again.
Ning Qi smiled.
He had thought a lot in the past few days, and he became more and more determined not to let the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang threaten his closest people.
He would definitely stop this.
Therefore, he did not think that he would never see his fifth senior brother Jiang Baishan again. He just thought that Jiang Baishan had gone out for training for a few years and would come back soon.
Ning Qi smiled and broke the slightly silent atmosphere.
"You didn't prepare a wedding gift for Brother Five, but I did."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Good for you, Xiaojiu, you actually prepared it yourself without making any noise!"
They were somewhat looking forward to Ning Qi's gift.
Everyone has been able to feel Ning Qi's peculiarity more and more. Although they don't know that Ning Qi is Tianjian Zhenren like Luo Wentian, they also know that Ning Qi is not simple. This time's Zhenwu peach fruit is proof of it.
Today, after several years of continuous cultivation, the peach fruit has absorbed some of the essence of the light fruit and the enlightenment tea tree, and has become an extraordinary exotic fruit. The effect is even better than last year. It can strengthen the foundation and tap the flesh.
One can imagine what the disciples’ reactions will be after they receive the peach fruits as rewards in this year’s year-end competition.
In other words, people are not so surprised because they are used to eating it.
But it was still extremely amazing for Li Ling and Lin Ruhua.
now.
Jiang Baishan was even more touched. He watched Ning Qi grow up step by step. He didn't care what Ning Qi gave him as a gift. He was just touched by the thought.
Lin Ruhua was curious.
Although it was only a few short days, with her intelligence, she was able to see through observation and the attitudes of other people that this Ninth Junior Brother was not an ordinary person.
Ning Qi didn't keep anyone in suspense.
He stood up and went back to the house, then took out a small jade box.
As everyone's eyes converged, the jade box opened, and a pair of green mandarin duck jade pendants appeared in everyone's sight. The mandarin ducks were lifelike, like living creatures. Ning Qi picked them up and handed them to Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua respectively. He said solemnly:
"This is a jade pendant I made myself. I wish that Fifth Senior Brother and Sister-in-law will be as happy as ever, and that everything will be the same as before after all the hardships they have gone through."
There seemed to be some deep meaning in these words, and only Luo Wentian understood some of it. He was slightly shocked and then sighed.
Jiang Baishan said gratefully:
"Thank you, Xiaojiu, for your blessing and gift! We all like it very much."
Ning Qi smiled slightly:
"If you like it, you have to wear it close to your body."
Jiang Baishan did not hesitate either.
He took the mandarin duck jade pendant from Lin Ruhua's hand and put it on the right side of her waist for her, while Lin Ruhua put it on the left side of Jiang Baishan's waist.
Everyone looked over.
The green light of the jade pendant enveloped the two of them in a layer of faint glow, making Jiang Baishan and the other person look like a couple of gods. The idea that one can only envy the mandarin ducks rather than the gods seems to have become concrete at this moment.
That’s not all.
As soon as they put on the mandarin duck jade pendant, they felt a shock of energy and their bodies seemed to become clearer. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They realized that this jade pendant was not only beautiful, but also a rare treasure.
Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
This jade pendant is naturally not a simple thing.
Ever since Ning Qi realized that Southern Xinjiang and the Demon Sect had formed an alliance, he had a sense of crisis. He was not worried about his own safety, but he was worried that the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang would attack his fellow disciples. After all, they could not stay in Zhenwu Mountain for their entire lives; they would have to go out sometime.
Therefore, he has been studying ways to deal with the situation so that they can have a certain degree of self-protection.
Among them, the Gangyuan sword is one direction.
It is possible to store some of Ning Qi's internal energy and sword intent and then release them. Although there is no support from the power of heaven and earth, it is still no problem to block some of the heavenly realms. This idea is naturally good, but it is difficult. After all, it is almost impossible to keep the internal energy forever. However, Ning Qi borrowed the principle of condensing sword pills from the virtual sword pill disintegration method and came up with the idea of condensing the sword seed outside.
But encountered the biggest problem.
There is no suitable carrier.
If Ning Qi were here, the Gang Yuan would naturally change in a myriad of ways, but it could not last long after leaving the body. This is its nature that cannot be changed.
The opportunity finally came after he slashed the Sword of Questioning Heart.
The Wenjian Pavilion sent a lot of compensation, and Ning Qi discovered a strange treasure mine in it. The Wenjian Pavilion called it the Mind-Concentrating Stone, which could actually seal the Gangyuan Sword Seed in it. Ning Qi then completely created this secret technique.
In this way, with the cooperation of Ning Qi's sword intent, it can be unleashed when encountering a crisis.
That’s not all.
Ning Qi can even use it to roughly sense the location of the jade pendant's holder, and the jade pendant also has the effect of concentrating the mind and calming the heart.
During these few days, Ning Qi knew that Jiang Baishan and the others were about to leave, so he made a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants first. As for the other brothers, they could make them a few days later.
There was such an episode.
The slightly sad atmosphere was immediately diluted.
There is no way to predict what will happen in the future, so it is better to live in the present.
Everyone was laughing and talking, and Lin Ruhua gradually joined in. Ye Qinghe held her and whispered to her, and finally revealed a lot of embarrassing stories about Jiang Baishan, such as the incident that "Lin Ruhua almost chopped off his arm", which everyone had been teasing about.
The two of them got to know each other through fighting, and after that they were entangled all the way, they even experienced life and death several times, and their relationship gradually changed until they developed friendship with each other.
However, it was obvious that Lin Ruhua was not the kind of gentle and obedient girl. She had tried to dig out Jiang Baishan's eyes and cut his tongue several times before.
Everyone was delighted and amazed to hear this.
Li Ling couldn't help but shrink his neck:
"If I'm looking for a Taoist partner in the future, I'll have to find a gentle and lovely girl."
Ye Qinghe slapped him on the head and scolded him with a smile:
"You are so smart, you are only a few years old, but you are already thinking about a Taoist partner. It seems that your usual studies are too easy. I have to ask Master to strengthen you. Besides, are you saying that your fifth sister-in-law is fierce?"
When Li Ling met Lin Ruhua's half-smile, he suddenly became timid and quickly hid behind Ning Qi.
Everyone laughed even more happily.
Jiang Baishan gave him a helpless look.
Stop laughing.
Ning Qi looked up at the sky. The moon rabbit had become round and the Peach Festival was coming to an end.
"Tian Sheng, go and bring out the tea."
The white ape understood and immediately turned around and went into the house.
After brewing the enlightenment tea for so long, the spirituality has been completely integrated into the tea.
Hearing this.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked forward to it.
They had known before that the Wudao Tea Tree had grown some tea leaves, but since they didn't see any Wudao Tea today, they thought they would never have the chance to taste it. Unexpectedly, Ning Qi stayed until the end.
certainly.
They all knew that the Enlightenment Tea Tree was successfully cultivated by Ning Qi on his own. Even if Ning Qi did not take it out, they thought it was normal and would not have any other thoughts.
soon.
The white ape walked out slowly with a cup of tea in his hand. He was very careful, fearing that he would break the tea.
This teacup is made of white jade and has a special effect of covering up the strange fragrance of tea.
At this moment Ning Qi opened the lid.
An extremely rich fragrance suddenly rushed up and lingered at everyone's nose.
Just smell the tea.
Everyone was already feeling a little elated, as if they were about to attain enlightenment.
Of course, this was an illusion. It was just that the sudden smell of the fragrance of the enlightenment tea gave them the foreshadowing of entering a strange state.
"Good tea!" Luo Wentian exclaimed.
Lin Ruhua also had a look of surprise. As the daughter of the deputy leader of the Demon Sect, she had seen countless good things, but this was the first time she had seen the Enlightenment Tea. She had also heard rumors about the Enlightenment Tea tree, but she didn't expect to see one on Zhenwu Mountain.
Jiang Baishan whispered to her that this was something Ning Qi had raised with a dead seed, and she suddenly found it even more incredible.
This Junior Brother Xiaojiu is a little too mysterious.
She was even more curious.
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"With this tea, I wish all my fellow brothers and sisters good luck in martial arts and a smooth journey."
He raised his cup of tea.
He was also somewhat looking forward to it, wanting to try if it could be of any help to him, but he had a very positive attitude, and even if it wasn't helpful, he wouldn't feel a big deal, as he had already gained a lot in the process of cultivating the enlightenment tea tree.
Especially when watching the seedlings breaking through the soil, he gained a deeper understanding of the way of life, which will burst out at the right opportunity in the future.
The eyes of the others were even brighter.
Everyone said their blessings.
They all drank the tea in the cup.
