Chapter 8: Gossip Falls from the Sky

After leaving the bamboo building, the five of them left in four different directions very tacitly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Ning walked for about five minutes, saw that there was no one around, and began to study the jade bead in his hand, which was said to be a map, the jade bead was the size of grapes, emerald green, and there was a dense white mist in the middle. Nothing is visible from the outside.

How do I open the map?

Zhang Ning remembered that it was described in online novels that he wanted to inject divine thoughts.

He tried to hold the jade bead tightly and close his eyes to concentrate and calm down, trying to imagine the white mist in the jade bead, and he really felt the slightest air flow in his palm surging into the jade bead. As his heart sank, a slowly tumbling fog suddenly appeared in his mind, and Zhang Ning tried to look inside the fog - suddenly it opened up - a 3D model of Qingyun Mountain appeared, and the flowers and trees were quite realistic.

As his mind moved, he saw the plaque of the building: Medicine Garden. Zhang Ning silently recited the Refining Hall in his heart, and the model quickly rotated to a corner, and after a pause, it suddenly zoomed in, and it was the main entrance with the words "Refining Hall" hanging on it.

Zhang Ning's mind moved again, and the model rotated to the col of the back mountain, where there was a cyan bright spot, which should be where he was now, and after silently planning the route to the refining hall in his heart, he opened his eyes.

The map in his mind vanished abruptly, and he felt a wave of dizziness and exhaustion, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Fortunately, the refining hall was not too far away, and Zhang Ning immediately set off.

After walking for about half an hour, he felt dizzy and tired, so he sat down on the grass near the mountain road to rest.

After resting for a while, I gradually eased up. He wondered in his heart, could it be low blood sugar As soon as he raised his eyes, Zhang Ning found that there was a mountain spring nearby. He walked over and washed his face and hands with the spring water, took a handful of water and took a sip, it was clear and sweet, much better than the bottled mineral water of his world!

Looking at the sky, it turned out to be noon, no wonder there was low blood sugar. Zhang Ning took out the stored grain and chewed a piece of braised beef.

He took out the pear blossom brew that was worth his wages, patted open the mud seal, and tasted a small sip, the alcohol content was not high, and the name of the pear blossom brew tasted like traditional Chinese medicine! He pasted the mouth of the altar with mud again, buried the wine under the tree next to the mountain spring, and came back to get it again when he wanted to drink this "medicinal wine" in the future.

Without waiting for Zhang Ning to straighten up, he suddenly heard a burst of thunder in the sky, and then a big rock dozens of meters away suddenly burst open, he hurriedly shrunk into a ball, and his arm protected his head and face, but there were still a lot of gravel splashed on him, and he couldn't help but scream.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ning felt the invisible pressure around him surge, pressing him to suffocate, and after two breaths, the pressure suddenly disappeared. He heard a familiar voice say, "Is that you? Why are you here?"

Zhang Ning hurriedly got up, patted the dust and gravel on his body, and looked at it calmly, it turned out to be Senior Brother Cui, a young monk who had led them in the morning, and there was a female monk standing next to him. The friar's fair-skinned and beautiful appearance, especially her beautiful eyes, were bright and moving, but at this moment, her eyes were full of anger and shame.

Cui Yang asked again, "Where did you get it?"

Zhang Ning replied: "Refining Hall." ”

Cui Yang was puzzled: "Then why don't you hurry over?"

Zhang Ning couldn't say that he was deserting here, he scratched his head and said, "I, I'm lost." ”

Cui Yang was even more confused and asked, "Where's your guide sign?"

Zhang Ning took out the jade slip and jade bead and said, "There are only these two," and then pointed to the jade slip and asked, "Is this a guide sign?" Elder Wu said that it was the jade slip of the exercises. ”

Cui Yang opened his mouth to speak, and the beautiful female monk rushed to say angrily: "This old thing has done such a despicable thing again!

"Sister!" Cui Yang hurriedly interrupted: "Now is not the time to complain, you still have to hurry up and find Senior Brother Han, I hope that he can cultivate to Dacheng after he comes out of retreat, and the patriarch is under pressure not to threaten you to marry Elder Wu." ”

Then he looked at the rubble around him and said, "You are so impulsive when you receive a letter from home, you can't use spells casually on Qingyun Mountain, the elders of the torture hall know that they will be punished! He turned his head and said to Zhang Ning: "Senior Brother Zhang, it seems that Elder Wu didn't give you a guide sign, I'll take you there directly......" After a pause, he carefully observed Zhang Ning, and then said: "Fortunately, you were not injured, I'm sorry for what happened just now, please don't talk about it to others." ”

Zhang Ning hurriedly agreed, and said in his heart, I don't want to listen to gossip, it was gossip that fell from the sky.

Then, Zhang Ning stood on Cui Yang's flying sword, trembling, lest he cut his cloth shoes. The flying sword slowly rose into the air, the speed was fast, but it flew extremely steadily, and Zhang Ning was secretly glad that he was not afraid of heights.

When he arrived at the door of the Refining Hall, Cui Yang said goodbye lightly after putting down Zhang Ning, and flew away with his sister.

Zhang Ning looked around and pouted secretly, the grandeur of this refining hall is far worse than Elder Wu's bamboo art building - a simple bamboo gate, with a wooden plaque engraved with the words "refining hall" on it, you can see the courtyard at the end at a glance, and there are several simple bamboo houses standing in it.

He sighed, straightened his collar, and walked into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a black-faced young man in his twenties greeted him: "Senior Brother Zhang, why did you arrive, our Chief Wu has been waiting for a long time, and his temper is not very good." ”

Zhang Ning hurriedly said: "You didn't give me a guide sign, I got lost." ”

The black-faced young man dragged him to the relatively largest bamboo house in the courtyard, and said, "Hurry up and see Master Wu." ”

Zhang Ning followed into the bamboo house, and saw only a middle-aged man in a blue robe in his forties, with drooping eyes and a mustache, and a very impatient look on his face.

After Chief Wu looked Zhang Ning up and down, he said with a straight face: "Zhang Ning, you will be an outer disciple of the Refining Hall in the future, you must know how to abide by the rules, and if you commit a first offense this time, you will not be punished." Next time, you must come on time to receive the sect mission. Zhang Ning said again and again, who let him desert by himself.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Director Wu's face softened slightly, and he continued: "You learn to refine the weapon as soon as possible, there is work to be completed every month, if you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you don't finish it, you will be punished." ”

Then he threw Zhang Ning a blue cloth bag and said: "Here is the robe of our refining hall and the ore you want to refine this year, I have something to leave Qingyun Mountain for a while, if you don't understand anything, just ask you Senior Brother Liu." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Senior Brother Liu hurriedly took Zhang Ning and left.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Senior Brother Liu, Zhang Ning chose a bamboo house as his house. Senior Brother Liu asked him to rest first, and made an appointment to come back tomorrow to explain to him the introductory exercises.

After Senior Brother Liu left, Zhang Ning looked at the room, a simple bamboo bed, bamboo cabinets, tables and chairs, and a dusty oil lamp on the table, and nothing else.
