Floating clouds

Chapter 32 Secret

Lin Xinglu put down the bowl during the meal, and couldn't help but said, "Ming Qi, what are you doing with this bird in your clothes?"

It turned out that the bird's claws firmly hooked Lin Mingqi's skirt, and fell asleep in the collar of her clothes, leaving only a bald head. The cute girl and the baby bird formed a harmonious picture.

It's a pity that what Lin Xinglu thought about was the picture of his sister being taken advantage of.

"Its fur hasn't grown well, I'm afraid it will be cold." Lin Mingqi said.

"take it out."

"Oh."

Lin Mingqi didn't know why Lin Xinglu didn't want to see the baby bird so much, but Lin Xinglu's words were an order, so she had no choice but to take the baby bird out and put it on the table.

The young bird came from the warm and soft jade arms to the cold and hard table, and woke up with two chirps.

"Brother, please give him a name." Lin Mingqi said.

"It's always chirping, so let's just call it chirping." Zhonghui interrupted with his job bowl in his hand, and Lin Mingqi stepped on his foot with an 'oops' sound.

"Eldest brother, you judge, isn't that a good name?" Chonghui put down the bowl and asked Lin Xinglu for help.

"Then you only know how to eat all day long, and you haven't seen us call you a fool, and you're still chirping. Those who didn't know thought you raised chickens." Lin Mingqi scolded him.

"Chirp" The young bird seemed to understand, held its head high, and chirped on the table, no matter whether it recognized the master or not, it always didn't have much affection for the big three and five rough, and instead rubbed against Lin Xinglu's. hand.

Lin Xinglu's hand immediately pulled away as if it had been scalded, leaving the young bird looking at him sadly with bean eyes.

"Did you hear that, it doesn't just chirp." Lin Mingqi gave him a serious look.

"Let's call it Xiaohuo." Lin Xinglu said.

"Xiaohuo, Xiaohuo..." Lin Mingqi stretched out his finger and touched the top of Xiaohuo's head.

Chonghui didn't think the name Xiaohuo was much better than Jiji, but looking at Lin Mingqi's appearance, it was clear that Lin Xinglu could call a piece of shit as intimate as she could, so he had to hold back the ridicule.

"That senior brother, Master hasn't woken up for the past few days, should we go to Senior He to take a look." Zhonghui changed the subject.

"I opened the mountain protection formation, and now Fuyunxu can neither get out nor come in, unless the master wakes up."

"Ah, what if the master is still awake?" Zhong Hui said with a sad face.

"Crow's Mouth!" Lin Mingqi said, "Brother, should we refine some pills for Master to eat?"

But none of the three of them knew how to make alchemy. Mu Zheng said that the elixir had erysipelas. In order to prevent their foundation from being unstable, they were not allowed to take the elixir. The matter of building foundation pills was never mentioned, let alone teach them alchemy.

He shook his head and said, "I'll go to see Master first."

Three months have passed since the blood moon, and now there is only a silver crescent moon in the sky, and the moonlight shines in through the window and falls on Lin Xinglu.

He stopped to meditate, knelt on the futon, looked at Mu Zheng, thought for a while, gathered his spiritual energy, and put it on Mu Zheng's hand, wanting to see what was going on in Mu Zheng's body.

At the moment when the auras connected, the golden light in Mu Zheng's body exploded and gathered into a strand, attacking Lin Xinglu. Lin Xinglu hurriedly drew out his aura, but was still injured by Mu Zheng's surging aura.

His breathing was unstable for a while, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he was about to meditate to adjust his breath, but Mu Zheng grabbed his hand.

"Master! Are you awake?" Lin Xinglu looked at his grasped hand and said happily.

His answer was silence, Mu Zheng lay quietly, except for grabbing his hand, he couldn't see any change.

"Master." Lin Xinglu felt sad and disappointed, and held Mu Zheng's hand back.

Mu Zheng's hands were also cold, like lifeless jade.

"Master, I have built the foundation."

Lin Xinglu said something dryly, but didn't know what to say.

"Eldest brother, I have something to tell you." Zhonghui knocked on the door.

Lin Xinglu frowned suspiciously, he would not sleep in the middle of the night, and came to him alone, could something have happened?He put Mu Zheng's hand away, got up and went out, "What's wrong?"

"Senior brother, that's actually me..." Chonghui hesitated to speak, and poked his head into the room, seeing that Mu Zheng was still awake, he was still worried, and pulled Lin Xinglu out of the courtyard.

Lin Xinglu was even more suspicious. He didn't know if there would be something that Mu Zheng couldn't let Mu Zheng know. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so cautious."

"I...I know how to get out." Zhong Hui lowered his head and whispered.

"What did you say?" Lin Xinglu's face became serious.

"Don't tell Master." Zhonghui said solemnly.

"Follow me." Lin Xinglu pointed at his mouth, motioning him to stop talking, and led him to the floating bridge.

The mountain protection array was opened, and it was more difficult to get out than to climb to the sky. At this time, Zhong Hui said that he could go out. Alarm bells rang in Lin Xinglu's heart. He was surprised at the moment, and was afraid that someone who wanted to hear would hear it.

Even though the maids and Taoist boys who live on the mountain have no cultivation, Lin Xinglu is still worried, and has been walking to the pontoon bridge with Chonghui.

Under the night, the sound of the water murmurs, and the moonlight is reflected by the spirit beads in the pool, emitting a dense radiance, softly illuminating the pontoon bridge.

This place has a wide field of vision and is not easy to hide in. Even if someone really hides here, with the sound of running water covering it, they will not be able to hear anything.

"What did you just say?" Lin Xinglu asked after making sure everything was safe.

"Well, you promise not to tell Master before I tell you."

At this moment, Zhong Hui felt that he had grown up a bit and dared to threaten Lin Xinglu.

Lin Xinglu didn't feel threatened. Seeing Zhonghui's serious expression, he knew that the matter was of great importance. He nodded and said, "I promise."

"It's Master... I'm talking about what Master Qingsong told me. Once he was drunk, he said it." Re-meeting Lin Xinglu agreed, and then talked about the past.

"Master said it happened a hundred years ago. At that time, his master was still there. He was surrounded on the mountain because of one thing."

"What? Didn't the priest say anything?" Lin Xinglu's heart was lifted into his throat by his words.

Zhonghui shook his head: "Master didn't say anything, and he didn't let me ask. He said that at that time he was hiding in the bamboo house, and the elders of various sects asked the patriarch to hand over the master, but the patriarch said that he didn't know that the master Where did you go?"

"Those people refused to let go, and asked the patriarch to open the mountain protection formation. They wanted to search the mountain, or they said that the patriarch wanted that thing. In order to prove themselves, the patriarch had no choice but to open the formation.

Later, when the formation was opened, they searched regardless of day and night. When the master was very afraid and thought he would die, the patriarch brought him here. "

Zhonghui pointed to the bottom of the pontoon bridge.

"You mean here?" Lin Xinglu looked at the lake where they practiced swords every day, and couldn't see any problems.

Re-meeting nodded. : "Well, the patriarch asked the master to jump down and swim down to the bottom of the water, and go underground along the current, and the master just swam out like this."

Lin Xinglu looked at the pool full of spirit beads, and saw that they were only knee-deep, and he didn't seem to be able to sink at all. He thought for a while, took off his shoes and went into the water to touch the spirit stones in the water.
