Hu Tu's whole body was neatly tidied up. He was completely different from his previous slovenly image. This guy was really a handsome old guy. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight bridge of his nose, and his originally messy beard had been trimmed into three long beards. He had an immortal style. Gu, has the image of a master.
But he still wore the fox headdress on his head, which was also clean and tidy. He was wearing a Taoist robe, and Mi Xiaojing could smell a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose.
No matter whether this guy is sloppy or neatly dressed, he always has an elegant light fragrance on his body, and I don't know what it is used for.
Hu Tu laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of scaring the children? When you go to a new place, you have to have a new look!"
Qian Duqian curled his lips secretly, but he didn't dare to speak harshly. Hu Tu was a master in the Mahayana period, and he would definitely be beaten for talking nonsense.
Mi Xiaojing smiled and said: "This is good, and it is pleasing to the eye."
He is a bit of a germaphobe and likes a clean environment and clean people. His original image of a sloppy Taoist seems a bit awkward to him.
Leading Mi Xiaojing and Qian Duqian, they walked all the way into the courtyard. There were small bridges, flowing water, gurgling spiritual springs, and various trees and flowers. They quickly came to a few ancient trees. There was a tidy area here. There is an open space with a white jade floor and a large lounge chair on it.
Hu Tu said: "Sit down, please sit down!" But he himself seemed to have no bones and slumped directly on the recliner, looking like all his bones were broken.
Mi Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh: "Is this comfortable?"
Hu Tu sighed and said: "I just want to lie here until the end of the world... so comfortable!"
Mi Xiaojing sat down speechlessly. Hu Tu suddenly squirmed again. Mi Xiaojing and Qian Duqian instantly felt that this guy was like a snake, moving and coiling up again.
Hu Tu said: "Don't be surprised. There was a kind of spiritual snake technique that was popular a long time ago. I once practiced it to great success. Although I gradually gave up on this technique later, some habits have been retained. This most comfortable posture has been completely Developed, haha..."
Mi Xiaojing exclaimed: "It really looks like a snake!"
The appearance has nothing to do with snakes, but the moment Hu Tu moves, it gives the impression of a huge snake, which is extremely similar.
Hu Tu thought this was a compliment to him, and said proudly: "Of course, by the way, you come to me... You must have something to do, right?" He didn't think that Mi Xiaojing would come to him to play, he must have come here because of something. .
Mi Xiaojing said very politely: "I have something small to ask, big brother..."
Hu Tu immediately laughed and said, "Don't be so polite. Just tell me if you have something to say, not asking for advice."
Mi Xiaojing said: "Do you still remember the first time we met? At first I thought that my eldest brother was distracted, but later he revealed his true cultivation..."
With this sentence, Hu Tu immediately understood Mi Xiaojing's purpose. He smiled and said, "Well... you want to learn how to hide your cultivation, right?"
Mi Xiaojing nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes!"
Hu Tu reached out and took off an exquisitely carved wooden plaque from his waist. It was dark in color and carved with seven snakes, intertwined and vivid. He said, "This is the carved wooden plaque. Hehe, how are my skills?"
Mi Xiaojing said: "It's a very beautiful wooden carving. Are you using this to cover up your cultivation?"
Hu Tu said proudly: "Yes, in fact, the formation restrictions here are very common, but the wood is very particular. It was cultivated by the Buddhist sect, and it is basically impossible for the outside world to find it."
When Mi Xiaojing heard the word "Buddha", he immediately distinguished it carefully. After a while, he smiled and said: "It turns out to be a soul tree!" He had a whole piece of this thing. He found it in Lingshan Dayu and it was more than ten thousand years old. It can be called ancient soul wood.
Hu Tu said in surprise: "Hey, do you know this kind of wood? This time I specially looked for it in Lingshan Dayu, but I just couldn't find it. It's a pity..."
Mi Xiaojing asked: "Can you refine it?"
Hu Tu nodded and said: "There is no problem at all in refining this gadget, but the problem is... I don't have soul wood!"
Mi Xiaojing smiled and said, "I do!"
Hu Tu said in surprise: "Where did you get the soul wood? Don't tell me it was in Lingshan Dayu..."
Mi Xiaojing said: "You are right, I found it in Lingshan Dayu!"
He had obtained all kinds of Buddhist wood, not only soul wood, but also Yan wood, Zen wood, etc., but he only collected one tree and did not dare to be greedy. He had seen it in pieces The woods are simply the origin of Buddhist precious wood.
What he collected was the complete soul wood, including roots and leaves, and he collected it as a whole, preparing to place it in the Hollow Land.
Hu Tu yelled in frustration and said: "I knew it was there, I knew it was there... Hey, I missed it this time. It will be difficult to find it in the future... "
Mi Xiaojing asked curiously: "Are you looking for the soul tree?"
Hu Tu said: "Forget it, let me get one of the ones you find!"
Mi Xiaojing shook his head and said: "There are all live trees there. I didn't dare to cut them down, so I took one away. But if there is a chance, maybe it can be replanted..."
Hu Tu looked at Mi Xiaojing speechlessly. He didn't know that if Mi Xiaojing was cut down on a large scale, the entire ban would be triggered, and those trees would be immediately moved away by the formation. At that time, not even one of them could be obtained. , it is precisely because Mi Xiaojing is made according to the rules of Buddhism that we can get so many varieties of trees.
"Just give me a tree trunk that's three meters long and about a handful thick, and I'll help you make this wooden decoration for free."
Mi Xiaojing nodded in agreement. He would not suffer any loss in this transaction. A soul tree has not only one main trunk, but also many branches. You can just choose one at will.
He took out a four-meter-long and palm-thick branch and placed it in front of Hu Tu. There was also a palm-sized piece of soul wood in his hand. He also handed it to Hu Tu and said, "This is the soul wood used to make wooden ornaments."
Hu Tu disappeared from the recliner in an instant and suddenly appeared in front of Mi Xiaojing. He grabbed the soul wood and inspected it carefully. Finally, his expression changed and he said: "You... this is a ten thousand year soul tree! It's a pity that it's just a branch." , if it’s the trunk…”
Mi Xiaojing wiggled a finger, shook it a bit, and said with a smile: "That's impossible."
Even he couldn't bear to use the main stem, maybe it could be transplanted and survive.
Hu Tu scratched his head. He also knew that he had gone too far. If he could get this kind of natural treasure, he would be lucky. If he picks and chooses, he would be punished by God.
Putting away the soul wood, he picked up the large soul wood that he was going to use as a wooden decoration, and said angrily: "Hey, you've gone too far, give me the branches, and get a piece of the soul wood root for yourself..."
Mi Xiaojing said calmly: "The roots of the soul tree are not three meters long..."
