Spring goes to autumn in Tianyou Peak, cultivators don't know the passage of time, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye since Shao Heng introduced qi into his body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this day, the spring is just right, except for the new disciples who have a heavy workload, the rest of the outer disciples are all in twos and threes, stepping into the spring together, relaxing their mood.

Luochen Courtyard is located at the foot of Tianyou Peak, where the deacons of the outer gate are located, the main hall in the middle of the courtyard is the deacon hall, and the rest of the houses are where the deacons or disciples open shops to sell all kinds of things, and even such as the mortal bazaar, there are also teahouses and taverns to operate.

Among them, there is a "Qingxian Building", which is a rather exquisite tea pavilion. On the top floor of the tea pavilion, there are more than a dozen young disciples in different costumes, each of whom sits unrestrainedly and scattered, tasting tea and incense, and surrounded by silk and bamboo, but it is not leisurely. Although Cun Weishan distributes Taoist robes, it is not mandatory for disciples to wear them every day, only requiring them to wear uniform clothing when dealing with official affairs or gatherings.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded and praised, and one of the young men in blue smiled silently. Nale people did not cultivate, and when they saw the praise of the monks, they were not afraid, but they only bent down silently and retreated.

"It's not a loss to the Donghua Chen family, and the domestic servants also have such skills. A disciple of Chu Yi said with a slight sigh.

The young man in blue is a disciple of the Chen family, his name is Xiuping, and Nale is his domestic servant. It's just that he invited everyone to Qingxian Building today, but he didn't just enjoy the spring tea, but had another plan.

Chen Xiuping glanced at a man in green clothes beside him, and the man understood, coughed lightly and said: "Senior brothers, the spring has been very good recently, and I am busy gathering in Qingxian Building, and the younger brother replaces wine with tea, and I wish you a good ranking in the big exam in January." When everyone heard this, they raised their glasses, replaced the wine with tea, and encouraged each other.

When I knew that Fang had a cup down, I heard a sigh.

One person in the building, named Liang Zhong, was not from a family, and he was invited here today, which was quite complacent. Seeing that Chen Xiuping seemed to have something on his mind, he hurriedly got up and asked, "Why is Senior Brother Chen sighing?"

Chen Xiuping glanced at him, and said in his heart, Senior Brother Zhang really has a high opinion, calling this person is indeed in line with my heart. At that moment, he said to everyone: "My brother has been starting since he was ten years old, and now it has been more than ten years. ”

There are people who are thoughtful and intelligent in others, and they have thought of the pass, this Chen Xiuping is nearly thirty years old, and the first two big exams were not his turn because of the family's own concerns, and now this is his last chance, Chen Xiuping is naturally anxious, and intends to take this opportunity to test the rest of the family.

However, none of the disciples of the family were stupid people, but they didn't answer one by one, and only said: "Senior Brother Chen's cultivation is profound, and he will definitely be able to get a good result." "Yunyun.

Chen Xiuping was secretly annoyed in his heart, and said in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that my Chen family was far away in Donghua, and there were not many elders in the door, otherwise how could I wait like this, how could I be squeezed out of the ranking twice.

The man in Tsing Yi was named Zhang Fang, seeing that Chen Xiuping was safe, he diverted the topic at the moment, and Liang Zhong complimented and gaged, and the others didn't want to be too cold, but they also resumed their happiness.

The Chu Yi disciple who had previously praised the musician suddenly sighed: "In this big exam, we are afraid that we will not relax. ”

"Why?" someone asked.

"Among us, Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Zhang, and Senior Brother Zhou are profound in cultivation and leading everyone. The man said as he gestured slightly to Chen Xiuping and Zhang Fang, and then bowed his hand to a young man sitting lightly in the corner, "And the rest have several senior brothers who have been famous for many years, such as Senior Brother Hai and several others, who are not worthy of us." There are also new disciples who are full of talents, and the junior brother of Nangong has a swordsmanship, which is not comparable to us. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, the little brother is really bottomless in his heart. ”

Everyone laughed good-naturedly, and when Chen Xiuping saw him mention Nangong and Weihai, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, but others didn't notice it.

Someone waved his hand and said, "Lu Binhai, I am convinced of all the senior brothers you said, except for the one from the Nangong family, I don't believe the rest of the new disciples." ”

Another person said: "That is, I am from a family, how can others compare with my generation?"

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Lu Binhai said, "Hey, haven't you forgotten that three and a half years ago, there were eight disciples who entered directly without being assessed?"

Everyone present, except for the frivolous young man in the corner, was stunned and silent.

For a long time, some people were unwilling to say: "What about the introduction of the inner door, is it possible that we can not judge the level of cultivation? Not to mention that we have no one to support the inner door?"

Lu Binhai said: "Senior Uncle and Senior Brother Neimen are fair, but do you think that there are no powerful people among these people?"

"Oh, Senior Brother Lu, you might as well talk about it. Chen Xiuping said leisurely.

"Among the eight disciples at that time, Senior Sister Ning was already at the fourth level of qi induction when she entered, and now she is naturally in the late stage of consummation. As soon as Lu Binhai's words fell, others smiled and said: "I know, I know, that Senior Sister Ning is not only not low, but also cold and beautiful, which can be called stunning." ”

The male disciples smiled at each other, but they didn't care.

Seeing them like this, Lu Binhai hurriedly said: "There are also two junior disciples, one is called Shangguan Chengtai, although it is only the seventh layer of qi induction now, but his brute strength is shocking and terrifying, and he can fight with the senior brother of the ninth grade of qi induction...... The other person's surname is Shao Mingheng, although he is now in the age of a weak crown, but when he entered the mountain, he only hid the sixth grade of essence, and now it is less than four years, but it is already the ninth grade of qi induction, and such qualifications are only the rumored senior brother Shen ......" in the inner door Before the words were finished, he heard Chen Xiuping knock the tea bowl on the table and interrupted his next words.

There was a sudden silence in the Qingxian Building, and the sound of the senior brother playing the tea bowl was clear in the ears.

Zhang Fang said with a serious expression: "Senior Brother Lu, is this true?"

Everyone looked at Lu Binhai seriously, waiting for him to answer.

Lu Binhai saw that everyone's eyes were sticking to him, his heart was tight, and his words were not good: "...... While...... Seriously...... If you don't believe it, you can ask Senior Brother Zhou! Senior Brother Zhou has a lot of dealings with that Shao Heng, so he must know about it!" he saw the man in the corner in a panic, and said busily.

The disciples of the family present asked Senior Brother Zhou one after another.

Zhou Zi'an lightly raised the corners of his eyes, as if he was unable to raise his eyelids, and said with a grin: "Senior Brother Shao Heng is friendly and easy to get along with!" but did not deny what Lu Binhai said.

Everyone was in an uproar, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

Zhou Zi'an said with a smile: "Well, Senior Brother Shao has good qualifications and is diligent and hardworking, so he naturally has this cultivation." Oh, I can't say, one day he will break through on his own like Senior Brother Shen, but he doesn't have to worry about competing with us for the top ten places. ”

Chen Xiuping's face was extremely bad, he started earlier than Shen Yuanxi, and he was an elite child of the Chen family. How do you know that although this Shen family concubine is a late entry, he shows extremely high talent, and he breaks through the qi induction period on his own in the three years of entry, alarms the elders of the inner gate, and personally enters the door. And now it is the late stage of the Zhuyuan Dynasty, and the head of the sect has broken the rule of "non-condensing tires do not enter the Sword Pavilion", allowing him to obtain the immortal sword in advance. He himself is still struggling in the outer gate, competing with many juniors and disciples for the top ten positions.

Now, there is another person whose qualifications are comparable to that Shen Yuanxi, how can he swallow this breath?

As for what Zhou Zi'an said, breaking through the qi induction period on his own, everyone didn't believe it. In the breakthrough period, the most critical step is to compress and liquefy the vitality around the body into a drop, which requires several years of water grinding to condense the vitality, not a day's work. If it weren't for that, in the outer gate examination, although the top ten could enter the inner gate, only the top three could get a "Pei Yuan Dan", which would help the disciples who had completed the later stage of qi induction to condense their vitality, directly break through the barrier, and help liquefy the vitality in their bodies.

Although there is a precedent for Shen Yuanxi, it is rumored that he took a Yuan Qi Pill when he was a child, and everyone thinks that how much he can break through is also due to the power of that Yuan Qi Pill.

What's more, Shao Heng has only been in the qi induction period for three years, and in everyone's mind, he can't condense his vitality by himself, and he will inevitably compete with everyone for the top ten positions in the outer door examination.

The people present were uneasy, and they all took their leave, planning to go back to inform their families of the incident, and after a while, there were only a few people left upstairs.

Zhou Zi'an looked at the slightly dark faces of Chen Xiuping, Zhang Fang and others, smiled and got up to say goodbye, and walked leisurely on the mountain road, as if admiring the spring light around him.

After a long time, Chen Xiuping slapped the table: "It seems that this matter still needs the eldest brother's action." Zhang Fang was slightly happy when he heard this, but he didn't speak, only sighed.

Zhou Zi was disdainful of Chen Xiuping and others, Donghua Chen was just an upstart in the eyes of his Yunhe Zhou family, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Xiuping's brother was a disciple of the inner door, he would only come to Qingxian Building today. Thinking about him, among the Zhou family, there are as many as a few Jindan real people alone, and there is also a Yuanying real person, and there are also side branch disciples up and down Cunwei Mountain who serve as deacons of the outer gate. Zhou Xun, the archdeacon of Rude Seminary, is an uncle of Zhou Zi'an's distant family.

He has a good relationship with this uncle, and he often hears that he secretly has a preference for Shao Heng, and he also knows that his uncle is asking him from the side, asking the Zhou family behind him not to suppress Shao Heng.

Zhou Zi'an smiled lightly, his uncle was simply too worried, if he could get such a talent, it would be too late for the Zhou family to win him over. It's like the Yingchuan Shen family, the woman's opinion, blindly suppresses the non-descendants in the clan, resulting in Shen Yuanxi soaring into the sky now, but he can't regret it. What's more, Shao Heng is handsome and chic, and his popularity and knowledge are not inferior to the family, and he is also willing to make friends.

Zhou Zi'an looked back at Qingxian Lou and laughed lowly: "Qingxian Lou? ”

————————————————————————————————————

Shao Heng, who is at the center of everyone's discussion, is also at the foot of the mountain at this moment.

Due to the approaching entrance examination, there are many outer disciples of non-family families who hold small trade fairs among disciples at the foot of the mountain near Luochen Temple. The disciples of the family are rich in wealth and will never come here. However, those outer disciples who often go out for tasks don't care about some things outside, and if they can't use them themselves, they will trade them to the senior brothers who need them inside.

Shao Heng was being dragged here by Fang Shaobai and others today.

More than three years ago, thunder fell that day, shattered the rocks at the height of the waterfall, and expanded the source, the waterfall that was originally sparse and the widest was only a palm, but now it has more than doubled, and it has become a different scenery, Shao Heng often cultivates under the waterfall pool.

Today's Shao Heng, the greenness on his face has faded one by one, his figure has risen a few points, his back is stretched and his shoulders are stretched, but he is not as strong as Shangguan Chengtai. He is already handsome, and he is affinity with water all the year round, and the whole person has a bit of warmth. If some shy sisters in the door saw him, they would blush at every turn, and they only felt that he was as humble as jade, and he couldn't say that he was good-looking.

It's just that he is a little embarrassed now, because Fang Shaobai is squeezing around in the crowd with the sleeves of his robe, causing him to be disliked by several people.

"Shaobai, Shaobai, oops, Fang Shaobai!" Shao Heng was dragged all the way by him, and seeing that he was about to be dragged into the crowd again, he hurriedly grabbed Fang Shaobai: "Ahem! Senior Brother Fang, I really don't go to the front, Senior Brother Luo was separated from us just now, you go to chase Senior Brother Chengtai, I'll go back to find Senior Brother Luo." ”

Fang Shaobai turned around and found that the youngest Luo Zijing was indeed not there, so he smiled: "Huh...... It's okay, Senior Brother Yang is following him......" In the end, his voice became quieter and quieter, so he had to let Shao Heng go: "Then you wait to find us, I heard earlier that there is a senior brother from the inner door who is also coming to sell things, I have to take a look!"

Shao Heng breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his cold sweat, and leaned against a tree next to him casually.

He really didn't expect that there would be so many disciples in this "small trade fair", and there were many outer disciples who he couldn't see on weekdays.

After Shao Heng entered the congenital, he was praised by Zhou Xun in a swordsmanship class, and he was specially rewarded with a medium-sized magic weapon "Guiyun Sword", which is watery and suitable for his use.

Because the qi induction period can only communicate with the vitality, and it cannot be fully utilized, so the magic weapons above the spirit weapon cannot be used, only the magic weapon is not at the grade, and there is no spiritual energy injected into it, and the disciples in the qi induction period are driven to use various magic tricks. As for the spiritual weapons, they are divided into hundred veins, Tongxuan, earth spirits, and heavenly treasures, such as Shen Yuanxi's saber Yanyang Immortal Sword is the top grade of Tongxuan.

Generally, Qi Extraction disciples need to cooperate with the Dharma to drive the Dharma Weapons, so it is very rare for someone to be able to drive more than two Dharma Instruments at the same time.

A month later, there will be a big exam for the outer gate, and the top ten positions are related to whether you can enter the inner gate and become a disciple. Shao Heng had seen Shen Yuanxi and Xiao Yu, two talented people in his early years, although he also knew how difficult the road to cultivation was, he had never been arrogant.

He is now on the ninth floor of Qi Induction, and he is still one line away from the peak, and he wants to try hard for the big exam in a month. The big test is divided into civil and martial arts, literary examinations, Taoist interpretations, and jade seal texts, etc., and the martial arts examination is based on cultivation and actual combat competition. Shao Heng's Taoist interpretation and jade seal inscription have been praised by teachers such as Laide Seminary. As for the martial arts examination, the Qiyun Sword, as a medium magic weapon, is already the limit that a disciple in the Qi Induction Period can control, and he is also quite proficient in the changes of water in the Five Elements Technique, and his body is extremely strong because of the perennial practice of the "Dragon Elephant Technique", and he has a small means of pressing the bottom of the box, so he is not afraid. I came to this fair today just to open my eyes and relax my muscles.

He was in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone chatting next to him, and vaguely mentioned Shen Yuanxi, and couldn't help but prick up his ears slightly.

Three years ago, after he was promoted to the Qi Induction Period, Shen Yuanxi had quietly come to visit him alone, in addition to giving him a copy of the first-class Taoist recipe he had asked for from his master, "Innate One Qi Song", he also gave him a storage bag in his early years. The storage bag is only for convenience, but the "Innate One Qi Song" can be called a real treasure book, which is much more clever than the Qi Induction Period exercises issued by the outer door, and it is not available to ordinary people.

Originally, the Qing Jing Dao Elder kept this Dao recipe was intended to be used by worldly descendants with cultivation qualifications, if it weren't for Shen Yuanxi's proud disciple to ask for it, it would never have been taken out.

Shao Heng and Shen Yuanxi have also experienced hardships together, and they have similar tempers, they regard each other as friends, and they are grateful to him for running around for themselves, but there is a difference between the inner and outer doors, and Shen Yuanxi is quite special in the inner door, but he has never seen each other again in the past few years, and now he is naturally quite concerned when he hears his name.

"I heard that there is a disciple from the inner sect who is coming, could it be the famous Senior Brother Shen Yuanxi?"

"How is it possible? Senior Brother Shen has been returning from his travels a few years ago, and he has a lot of experience, and he has been practicing in retreat all year round, and I heard that he is preparing to break through the condensation fetus!" said enviously, "In front of me is Senior Brother Lu Jilu under the seat of Elder Qingfang of Mingxin Peak. ”

“…… You say Senior Brother Shen has been in retreat and cultivating all year round?" said the other in a strange tone.

"Why? isn't it?" asked the man from earlier.

"I once saw him swimming in the mountains with a beautiful nun. As soon as these words fell, not only the people who were traveling with him were surprised, but Shao Heng, who was eavesdropping on the side, was also slightly stunned.

"What kind of nuns? No matter the inner door or the outer door, it's either a senior sister or a junior sister, what is a female cultivator?"

"Really, I've seen Senior Sister Inner Gate from afar, how did Senior Sister Outer Door know Senior Brother Shen......? I don't know ......."

"What are you talking nonsense, Senior Brother Shen is a gentleman, and he is dedicated to the Tao, and he will never be limited to the love of his children, but he is afraid that it is a distinguished guest from outside, and Elder Qingjing asked him to receive it, right?"

"Hehe, no matter what, if you let the inner senior sister and the outer senior sister know, I'm afraid it will break my heart!"

Shao Heng smiled secretly in his heart, this is indeed the case.

Later, when he heard those people talking about which senior sister was beautiful and which senior sister was pretty, and even mentioned Ning Qingyun, he couldn't help frowning, so he didn't listen anymore. He walked around casually, occasionally stopping in front of one or two senior brothers' stalls, but he didn't say much.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of an argument in front of me, and I couldn't help but look forward.

I saw that on the stall in front of the left, a bearded man was arguing with the stall owner and almost started to move.

"You profiteer, it's just a handful of mortal iron, it's not bad to use it for chopping wood, you actually want 500 points and 100 yuan crystals?! That's higher than the price of a medium magic weapon! You might as well grab it?!" the bearded man said angrily.

The stall owner was thin and small, but he was not to be outdone, and said stiffly: "What kind of iron, it is obviously extremely sharp, and it is more than enough to cut you!"

The bearded man was furious when he heard this, and he was about to go up with his fist, but was stopped by others.

Another person also said: "You junior brother, you are immoral, even if this sword can be broken and sharp, but it is not a legal weapon, and it cannot be driven by the magic trick, let alone infuse vitality, how can it be used by cultivators." If you put it in the mortal world, it is a good sword, but you are fooling me at such a price, are you joking?"

Shao Heng silently counted his net worth: the outer disciples received two lower-grade Yuanjing and twenty points per month, and he had also been practicing and did not go to the Deacon Hall of Luochen Courtyard to receive tasks to earn points and yuanjing, and now in the past four years, he has only less than one hundred lower-grade Yuanjing and more than nine hundred yuan.

He burst into tears in his heart, thinking about when did I ever worry about money, little prince? I couldn't help but touch the storage bag on my waist, thinking that the white medium-grade magic weapon "Guiyun Sword" inside actually cost two-thirds of his net worth, and he felt a little embarrassed.

So, curious, I also stepped forward to look at the things on the stall owner's stall. What they had been arguing about earlier was a short black sword, no more than a foot long, and it was pitch black all over, and they didn't know what material it was made of.

When the stall owner saw that there were many people, he happily took the black short sword and demonstrated it again, which could indeed cut gold and jade, and was sharp and unparalleled: "This is something I accidentally got when I met two Taoist friends fighting outside, and you don't want to think about it, if this is an ordinary mortal iron, will people fight for your life and death?"

"Cut, I'm afraid that people won't fight for this sword, right?" someone in the crowd scoffed.

The thin little junior brother's face turned red, and he was resigned.

When everyone saw it, they were afraid that it would be the case, and they all shook their heads and dispersed.

Shao Heng was about to turn around, but a flash of purple brilliance flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but turn around suspiciously to look at the black sword in the stall owner's hand, and he was slightly puzzled.

The thin stall owner saw that everyone had dispersed, leaving only a handsome young junior brother to stop, and then sold: "Even if you don't want this sword, let's take a look at the others, senior brother, I have been out all year round, and I have searched for a lot of good things!" The stall owner next to him laughed at him shamefully: "Qin Monkey, what good things can you have! This junior brother, come and take a look at me!"

The junior brother Qingjun's face was a little red, and he said shyly: "This sword looks very sharp and good-looking, I wanted to buy it back for the little sister at home for self-defense, but it was just ...... Brother, your price ......"

The Qin monkey thought that this sword would not be sold, but he was happy when he heard it: "It's easy to say, it's good to say......"
