Seeking Immortality

Ting'er, we are home. "

Looking at the towering Jiuhua Mountain in front of him, the mountain protection formation turned into a mist surrounding it. Xu Qingfan's eyes were complicated, and he patted Ting'er's head and said softly.

This sentence seemed to be said by Xu Qingfan to Ting'er, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

During this year of wandering and dangerous battles, Xu Qingfan always missed his small house in the back mountain of Jiuhua Mountain. The mountains are green and the water is clear, the environment is pleasant, and he can read books and meditate leisurely. Although it is not as vast and novel as the outside world, it has its own sense of freedom. If before Ting'er appeared, the cave in the back mountain could only be regarded as a residence, then now Xu Qingfan With Ting'er, a relative, by Qingfan's side, the cave is finally a home.

Home, isn't it the combination of relatives and a residence?

Ting'er looked at the barren mountain in front of her, which was even more desolate than the southern wilderness. A trace of doubt seemed to flash across her cold eyes. She didn't expect that the "home" that Xu Qingfan had been talking about all the way would be such a scene.

Although it was fleeting, Xu Qingfan still noticed the doubt in Ting'er's eyes. He couldn't help but recall the scene when Liu Huayan brought him here 28 years ago. He couldn't help but smile slightly, and then imitated what Liu Huayan did back then, and said softly: "You see it clearly. "

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan took out a yellow paper talisman from his sleeve and threw it towards Jiuhua Mountain. After the talisman flew a short distance towards the barren mountain, it stopped as if it was suddenly blocked by something. Then the talisman began to burn without fire. Thousands of rays of light were emitted during the burning. Under the rays of light, the originally barren mountain scenery was like a calm water surface broken by a stone, rippling. Not long after, the talisman burned out, and a circular light hole appeared where it had just stopped, and there seemed to be bursts of fairy mist in the light hole.

Looking at the scene in front of him. Xu Qingfan's eyes flashed for a moment. The trance of the moment, everything in front of me is exactly the same as the scene that happened 28 years ago, as if time has gone back. However, the 6 Huayan of that year has passed away, replaced by the current Xu Qingfan, and the Xu Fan of that year has also become mature, replaced by the current Ting'er.

Although Ting'er's father had great magic skills, they were all obtained from the magic beads. But how can the immortals' Taoism be so mysterious? There is no such a scene of rosy clouds. So although Ting'er has always been calm, she still showed some surprise in her eyes when she saw the scene in front of her.

Noticing the expression in Ting'er's eyes at this time, Xu Qingfan felt a little Some joy. In the past six months, Xu Qingfan has been trying to change Ting'er's personality and often takes the initiative to talk to Ting'er. After his efforts in the past six months. Although Ting'er still speaks very little, she has at least begun to show some normal expressions.

When the light hole on the mountain protection formation began to form, Xu Qingfan no longer hesitated, and controlled the "Wanliyun" to fly to Jiuhua Mountain with Ting'er. After flying into the Jiuhua Mountain Protection Formation, the scenery suddenly changed, and the barren mountain scenery was no longer seen. Instead, it became lush and majestic. The mountain is surrounded by fairy air, and occasionally cranes fly. Ming. From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, there are several grand, exquisite or elegant halls and bamboo houses, which seem to be close and distant in the misty clouds.

When Xu Qingfan brought Ting'er into Jiuhua Mountain, two bright lights suddenly flashed on the mountainside, flying towards Xu Qingfan from a distance.

Looking at the white and purple lights flying towards him, Xu Qingfan knew that they were the two disciples Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan who were responsible for receiving in Jiuhua Mountain.

Sure enough, when the two lights were still dozens of feet away. Li Yuhan's voice came.

"Master Xu has been gone for a year, which is really worrying. In the past year, many elders in the sect have come to ask about Master Xu's whereabouts, which made my two brothers feel very distressed. In the end, we two brothers wanted to go out of the mountain to find Master Uncle in person."

Xu Qingfan bowed and said politely: "There are many mundane things downstairs, and it took a lot of time. I am deeply sorry for causing trouble to the two nephews. "

While speaking, two bright lights were three feet in front of Xu Qingfan and then suddenly stopped. After the light faded, Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan appeared in front of Xu Qingfan.

Looking at the two of his nephews in front of him, Xu Qingfan sighed in his heart. It has been a year since they last met. Li Yuhan's cultivation is only a step away from the Lingji period. It seems that he will break through in the next two years. Although Sheng Yushan's realm is a little worse because he specializes in magical arts, he has also reached the peak of fasting.

After appearing, Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan began to carefully look at Xu Qingfan and Ting'er beside him. The purple-blue flame pattern on Ting'er's face surprised them a little, but they were both not used to showing their expressions on their faces, so they did not show any strange expressions. Instead, when they saw Xiaobi in Ting'er's arms, their expressions could not help but change slightly.

"Uncle Xu, who is this? ..." Li Yuhan looked at Ting'er beside Xu Qingfan and asked slowly.

Compared to Li Yuhan's tactfulness, Sheng Yushan was more direct, frowning and saying: "Uncle Xu, the sect's rules say that unless there are special circumstances, mortals cannot be brought in."

Although Sheng Yushan's words were quite impolite and had a hint of accusation compared to Li Yuhan, Xu Qingfan didn't care. He knew that Sheng Yushan had this kind of personality and it was his duty, so he smiled and explained: "This is my niece Ting'er who was lost outside, and she has a good aptitude for cultivating immortals, so I brought her back this time to teach her how to cultivate."

After more than half a year of consideration, Xu Qingfan decided to return to Jiuhua Mountain to teach Ting'er how to cultivate immortality, because he felt that he could not bear to watch Ting'er die of old age step by step while he was cultivating immortality. Although Ting'er died of old age step by step, It is possible that after you have achieved great success in cultivating immortality, you may be interested in yourself

hatred, but Xu Qingfan felt that he could completely control and change it.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Sheng Yushan frowned again, seemingly dissatisfied with Xu Qingfan's explanation, but Li Yuhan said with a smile: "In that case, please ask Junior Brother Xu and this Junior Sister Ting'er to register with us, so that Teacher can The door knows.”

"Okay." Xu Qingfan nodded slightly and said. With that said, Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan led them to the "Welcoming Guest Hall" to register, then said goodbye to them and flew towards the back mountain with Ting'er.

The scenery of the back mountain area has not changed at all in the year since Xu Qingfan left. It is still quiet and beautiful, with two elegant and exquisite wooden houses located in the lush woods.

Many kinds of exotic flowers and plants decorate the surroundings, making the two houses more artistic. It is Xu Qingfan's cave house in the back mountain.

"This is our future home." Xu Qingfan pointed to the two wooden houses in front of him and said to Ting'er.

With that said, Xu Qingfan made the "Wanli Cloud" land in front of the two wooden houses, and led Ting'er towards the wooden houses.

"This is the graveyard of Uncle Jiu's senior brother." Xu Qingfan walked toward the wooden house, pointing to the cemetery not far from the two wooden houses and said softly: "His name is Yue Qingru, you can call him Uncle Yue. He is very kind to Uncle Jiu and is a very good person. Uncle Jiu often talks to him when he has nothing to do. "

"Are these flowers pretty? Its name is Huanhua. It has a light fragrance and is soothing and refreshing. It was one of your uncle-in-law's favorite flowers during his lifetime. Uncle Jiu also liked it very much. He always felt that although it was alone, it could not compete with other flowers. Gorgeous, yet elegant and subtle, it has a tranquil and far-reaching flavor. I hope you will also like it, Ting'er. ”

"The small courtyard in front of the house is quite quiet and spacious. If you practice Taoism in the future, you can stay here, and you can also make a small nest for Xiaobi here."

"This smaller house was your Uncle Ninth's old house. You have lived there for seventeen years. Uncle Ninth will clean it up in a while, and you will live here from now on. You can clean it up as you like."

"This larger house is your former uncle-in-law's residence. Uncle Jiu will move there in the future. If you need anything in the future, just go to Uncle Jiu there. There are many books in this house. Your father used to also I taught you how to read. From now on, if you have nothing to do, you can stay here with Uncle Jiu."

Xu Qingfan took Ting'er all the way and talked about it. Rather than introducing it to Ting'er, it was better to say that Xu Qingfan was reliving every bit of his life here.

When talking about Yue Qingru's tomb, Xu Qingfan began to recall the night before Yue Qingru's death. He grabbed his hand and settled himself to take care of himself. When he introduced Huanhua, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but think of the first time he saw it. When it comes to the ecstatic joy after the magical use of "Kurong Jue", Yue Qingru's image of a kind and peaceful flower farmer when planting flowers and plants, and the expression of Yue Qingru's happiness that he is better than himself after knowing the mystery of "Kurong Jue". When introduced to the small courtyard. The scene of drinking with Jin Qinghan and Yue Qingru seemed to begin to appear clearly in front of his eyes.

That hut was where Xu Qingfan spent most of his time meditating over the years. Xu Qingfan often went to Yue Qingru's big witch house to borrow books over the years. It seemed that every time he went to Yue Qingru, he was concentrating on reading.

Wait, wait, everything. It seems that I have only been away for a year, but it seems to be very far away; it seems to be very far away, but it seems that everything happened just now, lifelike.

When Xu Qingfan introduced her, Ting'er just listened quietly and stared at Xu Qingfan silently with cold eyes. It seemed that only at this time, Xu Qingfan, who never liked to show his emotions on his face, could let her see through the three faces. point.

While he was talking, Xu Qingfan had already taken Ting'er into his old wooden house. Of course, it belonged to Ting'er from now on. However, he found that the house was as spotless as before he left. Apparently someone often helped clean it.

Looking at the unusual cleanliness of the room in front of him, Xu Qingfan was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully in his mind. He found that the only people he knew well in Jiuhuamen were Jin Qinghan, Uncle Liu from Baicao Garden, and the one he only met nine months ago. Zhao Qingxuan.

Obviously it couldn't be Zhao Qingxuan, because Zhao Qingxuan didn't know about Xu Qingfan building a cave in the back mountain; it couldn't be Uncle Liu, because Uncle Liu had never stepped out of Baicao Garden; it couldn't be Jin Qinghan, because Xu Qingfan really couldn't imagine it. What would Jin Qinghan look like with a cold and arrogant face holding a rag and broom.

Could it be her? Xu Qingfan couldn't help but think of the image of Dongfang Qingling. After the internal competition, Dongfang Qingling sometimes came to the back mountain to find Xu Qingfan to discuss Taoism. The relationship was familiar, but he immediately shook his head. He also couldn't imagine being cunning and cunning. Dongfang Qingling, who is like a eldest lady, will help her clean up.

In the end, after he couldn't think of anything, Xu Qingfan decided not to think too much. This person would not be malicious to him, and he would know it soon.

Just when Xu Qingfan was about to pack up his things and move them to a nearby room, a familiar cold figure suddenly came from outside the door.

"Senior Brother Xu, I heard from Li Yuhan that you have come back. Are you there?"
