If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 116 Orioles, Swallows, Swallows, Green and Red
Ding Xiu did not deny it and nodded with a smile: "That's right. I learned some Taoist techniques from a Taoist before..."

"Really?" Meng Longtan couldn't help but look surprised when he heard the exact answer. He raised his hands and said, "I wonder if Brother Ding can teach me something?"

For Ding Xiu, this is nothing at all. He has a lot of cultivation methods in his mind.

So he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll teach you a little Zhou Tian's cultivation method. If you persevere, you will definitely achieve something with your talent."

Hearing this, Meng Longtan was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly: "That's great, thank you Brother Ding, thank you Brother Ding..."

Later, Ding Xiu passed on the formula and explained it to Meng Longtan all the way.

Two days later, the two finally entered the southern area.

The landform here is obviously different from that in the eastern region. It is almost mainly mountainous, with few flat areas, tall trees, dense grass, and rivers.

There were many wild beasts seen along the way, but not a single family.

The important thing is that there are no roads here, it's all about climbing.

It doesn't matter if it's just Ding Xiu. He can already fly with a sword, but Meng Longtan can't.

Fortunately, Meng Longtan was very skilled, and with Ding Xiu by his side, when he encountered some really steep mountain walls, he flew up first, and then dropped the cane for Meng Longtan to climb.

The two walked around in the mountains for several days, and finally saw a mountain peak that towered into the clouds.

Although the two of them had been wandering around the mountains these past few days, when they saw the mountain, they both felt like they were standing out from the crowd.

"Brother Ding, I always feel that this mountain looks familiar..." At this point, Meng Longtan couldn't help but slap his forehead: "By the way, it looks like the mountain peak painted on the mural.

However, there are many palaces on the mountain above the mural, but we can't see them now. "

Ding Xiu smiled: "We can't see it. Maybe it's too far away, or maybe the palaces are hidden in the clouds. Another possibility is that there is a protective formation on this mountain."

"Mountain-protecting formation? Is it possible that there really is a fairy palace in this mountain?"

"Look for it first."

The two walked forward for a while, and suddenly, there was a faint sound of fighting in front of them.

When Ding Xiu listened attentively, he couldn't help but frown and said to Meng Longtan: "Longtan, you can follow me. I'll go over and take a look first."

After saying that, he rose into the sky and disappeared on the top of the mountain after a few ups and downs.

It didn't take long for Ding Xiu to see the source of the fighting sound. In the valley below, three women in palace dresses were being besieged by more than a dozen birdmen.

The level of this group of birdmen was much higher than what Ding Xiu had seen before. There was not a single one with blue armor, seven of them had blue armor, and three of them had red armor.

This was also the first time Ding Xiu saw a birdman wearing red armor.

From green armor to blue armor, and then to red armor, Ding Xiu also saw clearly that the jump in strength between the levels of those birdmen was quite large.

For example, Meng Longtan, when he didn't encounter the blue-armored birdmen at the beginning, he was almost uninjured and killed many blue-armored birdmen.

Then a blue-armored birdman appeared, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that he consumes a lot of physical energy. It is estimated that when both sides are at full health, Meng Longtan may have a slight upper hand against the blue-armored birdman.

Now Ding Xiu saw three red-armored birdmen with his own eyes.

These three guys are much stronger than the blue-armored birdmen, and these three birdmen are also very cunning, each stalking an opponent.

The remaining blue-armored birdmen did not attack directly, but looked for opportunities to sneak attack.

It seemed that the strength of the three women was comparable to that of the three red-armored birdmen, but they had to be wary of sneak attacks by several other blue-armored birdmen, so they would inevitably be distracted.

Once distracted, he fell behind.

Seeing the three women in a hurry and in crisis, the hero finally appeared.

Since ancient times, it is true that heroes save beauties.

Before Ding Xiu arrived, his voice came first: "You guys are bullying three women just because you have more people. Isn't it unjustifiable?"

"Ok?"

One of the red-armored birdmen couldn't help but glance at Ding Xiu, and then shouted fiercely: "Kill him!"

"Yes!"

Several other blue-armored birdmen charged toward Ding Xiu fiercely with spears in hand.

There were three red-armored birdmen at the scene, but Ding Xiu didn't dare to be careless, so he took out a sword on a whim.

This sword was obtained in Uncle Jiu's world and is just an entry-level magic sword.

Of course, even if it is an entry-level sword, it is still a magical sword and can exert considerable power in Ding Xiu's hands.

"Buzz!"

With a surge of true energy, the magic sword made a long buzzing sound, and the sword body was also shrouded in a faint golden light.

"call!"

Ding Xiu stayed still, raised his hand and slashed, and a light golden sword energy rushed out. The first thing it hit was a blue-armored birdman at the front.

"boom!"

With a roar, the birdman was split into two halves on the spot, including his armor and body.

Such strength scared the other blue-armored birdmen and stopped them in their tracks.

"Shh!"

Ding Xiu slashed with his sword again and killed another one instantly.

This time, the three red-armored birdmen finally came to their senses and did not bother to attack the three women again. They cursed angrily and rushed towards Ding Xiu from three directions.

"Stop them!"

One of the women perked up, shouted at the two sisters, and attacked the three red-armored birdmen respectively.

Ding Xiu jumped into the air and escaped the siege of the three red-armored birdmen.

At this time, the three women also came to kill, forcing the three red-armored birdmen to turn around and take the attack.

Ding Xiu then began to deal with the remaining blue-armored birdmen one by one.

Although these blue-armored bird-men were fierce, they were barely able to fight back under Ding Xiu's attack, and they fell into a pool of blood one by one after a while.

At this moment, the three red-armored birdmen were panicked.

They didn't have much of an advantage before, but now there are only three of them left, plus an evil star...

Just run!

The three birdmen looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, they turned around and fled in three directions.

Ding Xiu didn't bother to chase, and the three women obviously didn't want to chase either. After all, he understood the principle of not chasing after a weak enemy.

"Thank you sir!"

"Thank you, son for saving me!"

The three women stepped forward and bowed to Ding Xiu sincerely to thank him.

Ding Xiu smiled and raised his hand: "You three girls don't need to be polite..."

Next, the woman in the middle took the initiative to introduce their names. Her name was Cuizhu, and the other two were her sisters: Yunmei and Yulan.

Ding Xiu cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Miss Cuizhu, Miss Yunmei, and Miss Yulan. Ding Xiu is so polite!"

At this time, Yulan couldn't help but ask: "Could the young master be from outside too?"

Before Ding Xiu could reply, Meng Longtan ran over from afar: "Brother Ding, is the battle over so soon?"

Ding Xiu responded, and then introduced to the three women: "His name is Meng Longtan, and he is a friend of mine. We both came here for no reason... By the way, has anyone been here before?"

Cuizhu nodded: "Yes, one just came two days ago."

"Two days ago?" Meng Longtan's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "Is he a man who looks like a scholar? His surname is Zhu and his name is Xiaolian."

"Huh? So you all know each other?"

Meng Longtan slapped his thigh: "Ahem, I didn't expect him to arrive before us..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but look puzzled and asked Cuizhu: "Fairy, didn't Brother Zhu mention me and Brother Ding?"

Cuizhu shook her head: "It was the other sisters who took Mr. Zhu to see the aunt at that time. Later, it was Sister Shaoyao who was responsible for the reception. I'm not sure."

"Then I wonder if Sister Fairy can take us two to see the palace master?"

Cuizhu replied: "Young lady, you can take the two young masters to see Sister Shaoyao first. If you want to see the palace lord, Sister Shaoyao will have to pass the message."

Meng Longtan smiled and said: "That's very good. I'd like to help Sister Fairy lead the way."

Sure enough, this Baihua Palace has an agency.

The entrance was actually on the edge of a cliff. It was not until Cuizhu took out the Baihua Palace token and recited a mantra silently that a rainbow bridge appeared out of thin air.

After walking a few dozen feet along the Rainbow Bridge, it disappeared into the clouds and mist.

After a while, a beautiful and huge valley appeared in front of us.

"Oh my god...it's really a fairyland!" Meng Longtan couldn't help but exclaimed.

The waterfalls in the distant mountains seem to be hanging in the sky, and the water pours down from the clouds and mist, like an endless jade belt, light and soft.

The diffuse clouds and mist are like a thin gauze curtain, like smoke and fog, giving the entire valley a dreamlike color.

A white crane had a light body and left a sweet sound.

Palaces of various sizes are built along the mountain, surrounded by auspicious clouds and auspicious air, giving off a mysterious and remote atmosphere.

Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and insects are chirping, and the wind is blowing the blinds. The beautiful and mysterious pictures are intertwined into a colorful picture.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but praise: "What a paradise on earth!"

Yunmei stood next to Ding Xiu and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sir, in your eyes, is this place really beautiful?"

Ding Xiu said with a meaningful expression: "Girl Yunmei is in the scroll, so naturally she doesn't know how beautiful this painting is."

"But I see that the scenery outside is also very beautiful. There are villages, market towns, and cities..."

This is not surprising.

Just as people from cities in later generations will always be delighted when they come to the countryside: wow, vegetable fields, seedlings, streams, bamboo forests, dragonflies, naked children...

People who have lived in the countryside for a long time will also be very excited when they come to the city, watching the busy traffic, watching neon lights, shopping malls, antique streets, and amusement parks...

But Ding Xiu is curious, how does Yunmei know what the outside world is like?

So he asked with a surprised look on his face: "Miss Yunmei, have you been outside?"

Yunmei shook her head in embarrassment: "I have seen paintings. The Baihua Palace has some foreign books and scrolls."

"Where did these paintings and calligraphy come from?"

"I heard from the sisters that my aunt should have brought it back."

Hearing this, Ding Xiu couldn't help but make up his mind. Since the palace owner could get out, it meant that she knew how to get out.

"Ah, here are two more young men..."

Among the flowers in the distance, an unknown girl screamed.

Suddenly, a group of beauties wearing various colors of palace dresses flew over like butterflies, and the flowers were filled with fragrance, which made everyone dazzled.

At this moment, Ding Xiu and Meng Longtan truly realized what it meant to fall into the flowers.

These girls are all named after flowers, lilac, crabapple, lily, poppy, narcissus, magnolia, gorse, gardenia, hibiscus, okra...

Baihua Palace is well-deserved!

Just as all the girls were chirping and asking questions, a slight cough came.

Although the voice was not loud, all the girls turned around and shouted: "Sister Shaoyao!"

Shaoyao is the eldest sister and my aunt's most trusted disciple. She is usually in charge of all matters in the palace.Cuizhu stepped forward and said, "Sister Shaoyao, these two young masters said they want to meet the palace master."

Shaoyao responded: "Well, you two gentlemen, please come with me."

"Thank you Miss Shaoyao."

Under the leadership of Shaoyao, Ding Xiu and Ding Xiu climbed up a stone staircase at the foot of the mountain.

After walking a few steps, Meng Longtan couldn't help but ask: "Fairy Peony, is Mr. Zhu also up there?"

"Ok!"

Shaoyao didn't seem to like to talk much, so she just responded.

"Then has he ever mentioned me and Brother Ding to the palace master?"

"Have!"

Another word.

However, Meng Longtan didn't care and said to Ding Xiule: "That's great. I didn't expect that the three of us brothers would have such an adventure."

Ding Xiu subconsciously glanced at the Yingying Yanyan in the square, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, it is indeed a rare adventure."

Soon after, Shaoyao led the two of them into a hall located on the mountainside.

In the main hall, a graceful and luxurious woman was drinking tea and chatting with a scholar.

This woman is the mistress of Baihua Palace. Needless to say, the scholar is Zhu Xiaolian.

"Auntie, Mr. Ding and Mr. Meng brought..."

Without waiting for the palace master to reply, Zhu Xiaolian came forward with a look of surprise on his face: "Hahaha, Brother Ding, Brother Meng, you are indeed here."

Meng Longtan asked curiously: "Brother Zhu knows that we are coming?"

Zhu Xiaolian smiled and glanced at his aunt: "Of course the palace master told me."

Ding Xiu stepped forward and bowed: "Ding Xiu, I have taken the liberty of disturbing the palace master. Please forgive me."

Meng Longtan also came forward and bowed.

The Master of Baihua Palace smiled and waved his hand: "All three of you are distinguished guests. You are welcome. Please sit down."

"Thank you Palace Master!"

"Fengxian, serve tea to the two young masters."

"Yes, Auntie!"

The palace master then ordered: "Shaoyao, go and make arrangements. I will entertain the three young masters tonight."

"Yes!"

Shaoyao went away in response.

After chatting for a while, Ding Xiu couldn't help but raise his hands and said, "I wonder if it would be convenient for the palace master to tell me what kind of place this is?"

The Master of Baihua Palace smiled: "Didn't Young Master already know this?"

Ding Xiu thought for a while and asked again: "I would like to ask the palace master another question. How can the three of us leave here?"

The Master of Baihua Palace said with a meaningful expression: "Young Master Ding, don't worry, you will leave when it's time to leave."

"Yes, yes, no rush, no rush..." Meng Longtan nodded in agreement.

After finally finding such a wonderful place as beautiful as a fairyland, and the fairy sisters were so hospitable, he naturally wanted to stay here for a while.

"By the way, Brother Zhu, why are you here?" Meng Longtan thought of another thing.

Zhu Xiaolian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I couldn't explain what was going on. I was in a trance for a while, and then I realized that there were mountains all around.

Fortunately, several disciples from Baihua Palace came out to collect herbs, and they took me to Baihua Palace out of kindness. "

Hearing these words, Meng Longtan couldn't help but sigh: "It's so lucky that you didn't meet those bird people, otherwise..."

"Birdmen?" Zhu Xiaolian had obviously never seen those birdmen before, and he couldn't help but look surprised.

The Master of Baihua Palace explained: "Those guys you met, they call themselves the God Clan, and they have always been sworn enemies of our Baihua Palace."

Hearing this sentence, Ding Xiuyin had some realization.

With a tentative attitude, I couldn't help but talk about the evil deeds of the birdmen I saw along the way.

Finally, he said: "Those birdmen don't regard the people as human beings at all, and they enslave them at will. Unfortunately, they are weak in power, and they have more than enough ambition but not enough power..."

Sure enough, the master of Baihua Palace said with a half-smile, "Mr. Ding, could it be that you want to say, why don't we, Baihua Palace, deal with those... um, birdmen?"

She also started to talk about the word birdman after Ding Xiu.

"cough!"

Ding Xiu coughed dryly, acquiescing.

He has now figured out that the reason why he, Meng Longtan, and Zhu Xiaolian are sitting here is definitely not a coincidence. It may have been predestined.

That being the case, why don't we all talk about it openly, so as not to have to guess.

"Young Master is indeed a smart man..."

The Master of Baihua Palace smiled.

Then, he let out a long sigh: "Actually, why don't I want to deal with those birdmen? But as the young master said, we have more than enough ambition, but not enough power..."

After pausing for a moment, he added: "However, it is not impossible, but we need to wait for an opportunity."

Meng Longtan couldn't help but said in a joking tone: "The timing mentioned by the Palace Master is not referring to the three of us, right?"

The Master of Baihua Palace smiled and said nothing.

"No way?" Meng Longtan couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then subconsciously glanced at Ding Xiu.

He is self-aware and knows that his strength can at most deal with a blue-armored birdman, but he will have to stop when he encounters a red-armored birdman, not to mention that there are more powerful ones in red armor.

Therefore, the key figure has to be Ding Xiu, and he and Zhu Xiaolian are probably just foils.

At this time, the Master of Baihua Palace smiled again and said: "Let's not mention this matter for now. Since the three of you have come to Baihua Palace, you might as well stay for a few more days. I think you will like it here."

Hearing this, Meng Longtan glanced at Zhu Xiaolian subconsciously, and then smiled knowingly.

For most men, this is undoubtedly paradise.

In the evening, a grand night banquet kicked off in the East Side Hall.

However, this banquet was different from those outside. There were no delicacies, let alone big fish or meat.

The disciples of Baihua Palace never eat whole grains, but mainly eat dew, nectar, fruits, elixirs, etc. Therefore, they are all fragrant and light. They are truly fairies who do not eat the fireworks of the world. .

However, this did not affect the elegance of Ding Xiu and others.

The scent of flowers, wine, and beauty.

While drinking the Baihua Wine brewed by Baihua Palace, they watched the beauties singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was joyful.

There are two beauties sitting on the left and right sides of Ding Xiu, one is Yunmei and the other is Lilac.

The two women were affectionate, Yunmei poured a glass of wine for Ding Xiu from time to time, and Ding Xiang stuffed a small piece of fruit pulp into Ding Xiu's mouth from time to time.

Of course, Zhu Xiaolian and Meng Longtan treated each other equally, and there were two disciples from Baihua Palace sitting beside them, who were extremely gentle.

It was truly a delight for all the guests.

He drank until late at night and finally left in a drunken state.

Under the leadership of two Baihua Palace disciples, Ding Xiu walked into a room.

As soon as you enter the room, your eyes can't help but light up.

It's not that this room is luxurious, it's mainly that the artistic conception is like a heavenly palace.

The room is built on a cliff on the mountainside. Standing by the window, you can look down at the beautiful scenery of the valley, and look up at the vast sea of ​​clouds.

When you poke your head out slightly, you can see a waterfall flying down like a jade belt.

Sitting in front of the window is like sitting on the clouds.

There is also a pool about ten feet in diameter on the left side of the window. It seems to be water brought from outside, and it is hot water, like a hot spring.

The furnishings in the room are also quite elegant. The furniture is made of unknown wood. It is exquisite yet elegant, exuding a fragrance that soaks the heart and soul.

There is a bookshelf on the left, with many books and scrolls on it.

Ding Xiu couldn't help but stepped forward to take a look, and found many familiar books.

These calligraphy and paintings were obviously brought in from outside. No wonder Yunmei also has a certain understanding of the outside world.

"Master, do you like this room? If you don't like it, you can choose another room."

One of the disciples asked.

Ding Xiu smiled: "Yes, this is it!"

The two disciples responded and then left.

After a while, two more disciples came in.

"Miss Yunmei, Miss Dingxiang, why are you here?" Ding Xiu stepped forward with surprise on his face.

Yunmei looked shy, bit her lip slightly, lowered her head and said nothing.

Ding Xiang was very generous and said with a smile: "Master, don't you welcome us sisters?"

"Where, where..." Ding Xiu looked happy.

In fact, he had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the two women's visit.

Although Ding Xiu knew in his heart that this was a beauty trap set by the Master of Baihua Palace, he didn't care. It was not a bad thing for him.

Maybe there will be surprise harvests.

As expected, after chatting for a while, Ding Xiang took the initiative to clarify the purpose of her visit: "Aunt told us to serve the young master with all our heart. It's getting late. Does the young master need to take a bath?"

"This... shouldn't I trouble you two girls?" Ding Xiu said hypocritically.

Ding Xiang smiled, said nothing, walked up to Ding Xiu and untied his robe.

Yunmei walked behind the screen with a blushing face, and then there was a "rustling" sound.

It seemed that they were already prepared.

Not long after, Yunmei put on a gauze and walked out. Her plump and graceful figure and shy expression made Ding Xiu's mind wander.

Sure enough, Liaozhai World has many benefits.

After entering the pool, Ding Xiu found that the fruits in the pool were really different, making people feel more comfortable, and there was also a faint medicinal fragrance.

So, Ding Xiu asked curiously: "Where does this water come from?"

This time, Yunmei finally took the initiative to reply: "Sir, this is the hot spring water at the top of the mountain. All our sisters have such pools in their rooms."

"So that's it, but it's different from the hot springs outside. This one is much more comfortable."

At the mention of the outside, Yunmei's eyes couldn't help but light up and she asked: "Sir, what is the outside world like? Is it the same as the paintings here?"

Ding Xiu smiled: "The outside world is much more exciting than the paintings here."

Hearing this, Ding Xiang also said anxiously: "Is it true? Master, please tell us."

The two women, one on the left and one on the right, shook Ding Xiu's arms coquettishly, but little did he know that they made Ding Xiu's body temperature rise steadily.

"Hiss... you two, stop shaking for now..."
