Chapter 230: Scorched Wood

Xu Yi's visit as a guest was supposed to be hosted by the leader of the Fire Talisman Sect himself.

It just happened that the master was in retreat, so he was accompanied by two master uncles from the north and the south during the whole process.

Now these two people are secretly worrying about how to entertain Xu Yi in order to show their sincerity.

Because the Fire Talisman Sect was short of money, no one had taken care of the previous landscaping, and only the trail leading into the mountain gate was quite impressive. They wanted to take Xu Yi to visit the Fire Talisman Sect, but they couldn't do it.

Then as they were talking, I don't know who started to bring the topic to the formation.

Although the Fire Talisman Sect was famous for their ability to make talismans, making talisman and seals gradually became their hobby, and formations became their lifelong pursuit.

Xu Yi had a solid foundation in formations and learned the strengths of each school. He easily struck up a conversation with the two masters from the north and the south, and then they expanded on this topic and began to discuss the modifications and solutions to the formations.

The disciples of the Fire Talisman Sect could understand a little bit at first, but later on they were as big as a bush and had a blank look on their faces. They could only watch the three elders talking silently.

Xiaoyi also didn't understand what they were saying, but this didn't stop her from looking at her sister.

A few hours later, when it was dark and Wang Yang was pushed by other disciples, he had to step forward to interrupt the exchange between the three of them.

"Senior, uncles, it's getting late, why don't we have dinner first and talk about it tomorrow?"

The two master uncles from the north and the south glanced at the sky and then at each other, both seeing the accusation in each other's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, look at this... oh, it's so rude, so rude." Uncle Bei stroked his beard a little faster.

Xu Yi was worried that he would accidentally pull out his beard.

In order to prevent the two of them from blaming themselves, Xu Yi quickly took the responsibility on himself, "I blame my two fellow Taoists for being too excited to discuss the matter and forgetting the time."

The two master uncles from the north and the south felt even more guilty.

Although Wang Yang, a senior disciple, is a little immature in his methods, his basic hospitality skills are flawless.

He had already prepared a banquet with his junior brothers and sisters. When the three of them finished talking, he immediately led the three of them to the banquet living room.

This banquet hall has never been used on weekdays. It was just cleaned up by Wang Yang and other disciples.

After Xu Yi and Xiaoyi were led to their seats, they waited for the two master uncles to take their seats before the rest of the disciples followed suit.

Uncle Bei was originally planning to announce the start of the banquet, but found that one person was suddenly missing. He frowned and asked, "Where is the creek?"

The child is usually well-behaved, but today a distinguished guest is coming, so why does he lose his etiquette?

Wang Yang stood up and explained to Chi Xiaoxi: "There was some problem with junior sister's medicine field, so she went to deal with it."

Uncle Bei frowned, how could it be such a coincidence?

However, it was not appropriate to ask too many questions in this situation. He brushed the matter aside and quickly greeted Xu Yi.

You can tell at a glance that the dishes of Huofu School are carefully prepared. Although they are not as exquisite as Jian's, they have a different flavor. Xu Yi and Xiaoyi both enjoyed their meals.

After the dinner, Wang Yang sent Xu Yi and Xiaoyi to the rest room, said a few more polite words for not being well received, and then reluctantly left.

When Xu Yi opened the room and saw the scene inside, her eyes flashed and her consciousness spread outward. After confirming that there were no such things in Xiaoyi's room, she slowly stepped into the room.

As soon as you cross the threshold, the refreshing and fragrant fragrance immediately pours into your nose, making Xu Yi feel like stepping into a sea of ​​flowers.

All kinds of flowers filled every corner of the room, and even the ground was covered with fresh petals.

The combination of the fragrance of so many kinds of petals does not make people feel messy, but is impressive.

Several plates of different types of spiritual fruits were placed on the table. Water drops were still hanging on these spiritual fruits, which looked like they had just been picked.

Xu Yi picked up a spiritual fruit and shook her head. She was wrong. It didn't look like it had just been picked. It clearly was.

Thinking of Chi Xiaoxi, who had been missing all night, Xu Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

What she saw and heard today gave her a very good impression of the Fire Talisman Sect.

Especially when I returned to the room and saw such a surprise, even if Xu Yi's thoughts were not too delicate, I could still see the depth of his intentions.

She felt a little guilty for no reason.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi decided to increase the size of the gift she was going to give out tomorrow by a few percent, as a way of saying thank you.

At night, Xu Yi did not practice, but slept well on a pillow filled with dried flowers.

The next day, when Xu Yi went to find Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi immediately smelled the fragrance of flowers on Xu Yi's body. She hugged Xu Yi's thigh excitedly and sniffed like a puppy, "Sister, you smell so good!"

Xu Yi pulled out a delicate flower from behind like a magic trick and put it on Xiaoyi's bun. "Then sister will also wear one for you, and you will also become fragrant."

"Yeah!"

Although Xiaoyi is still young, she also understands the love for beauty. Along the way, she carefully reached out her hand to touch the flowers above her head, giggling from time to time.

Xu Yi and Xiaoyi walked around the Fire Talisman Sect for a cup of tea, but they didn't see anyone. Finally, they followed the sound and found the members of the Fire Talisman Sect who were having morning lessons in the martial arts training ground.

The Fire Talisman Sect has a rule that all disciples, from the master to the new disciples, need to practice in the morning class every day.

Xu Yi glanced at them and did not disturb them. He held Xiaoyi and walked slowly along the avenue of the Fire Talisman Sect.

The Fire Talisman Sect has a good foundation. Although the palaces are deserted, they do not smell of decay, which shows that the materials used to build the palaces were of excellent quality.

To put it another way, even if the Fire Talisman Sect does not do well in the future, it can survive for a long time by selling these materials.

"Sister, what is that?"

Xiaoyi pointed to a blackened wooden pillar standing in front of her and asked curiously.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Xu Yi looked at it from a distance and felt that this thick wooden pillar looked like an enlarged fire stick. When he got closer, it looked more like it.

This wooden pillar is ten feet high, and its surface is charred, black, and dry.

"Sister, this piece of wood seems to have been struck by lightning. It's dark and ugly." Xiaoyi wrinkled her nose and said.

Xu Yi nodded in agreement. Indeed, the traces on the surface of this wooden pillar seemed to have experienced a thunderstorm. Maybe it was an ancient tree that had already given birth to spiritual wisdom, but died accidentally under a thunderstorm.

Wait, ancient tree, thunder disaster?

The smile on Xu Yi's face disappeared. She took a few steps back to take in the full view of the wooden pillar. The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became.

In order to verify her guess, she spread her consciousness and looked down at the entire Huofeng Mountain, finally confirming her guess.

She had actually seen this wooden pillar.

And she guessed right, the predecessor of this wooden pillar was a tree demon who was nourished by the spiritual power of heaven and earth and gave birth to spiritual intelligence.

It's just a pity that it failed at the final moment of transcending the tribulation and transforming into another form, and then the spiritual power accumulated over the years made a wedding dress for others.

Two thousand years have passed, and this wooden pillar has not been damaged and is still standing here. The only difference is that there is an additional sect called the Fire Talisman Sect.

I revisited this place intentionally and felt so many emotions in my heart.
