Chapter 9 Open Selection

"Shali, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"

Looking at Kaifeng's playful smile, Sha Li was really thinking seriously, "Let's listen to the bad news first, at least there is good news later." ”

Kaifeng's face was slightly gloomy, "The bad news is that a famous island guard died and was killed." ”

For Qiyuan Island, although Sha Li was not deeply involved, he still knew that the killing of an island guard was by no means a trivial matter.

"My father and uncle already knew about this matter, and they specially convened a meeting of the elders of the Sikou to make up their minds to investigate the matter thoroughly. "It's rare for him to look serious.

"Who is the island guard who was killed?" Xue Qi, who had always been indifferent to everything, asked unexpectedly.

"Yan Chenggu. Kaifeng's tone was a little sluggish.

"No wonder. Xue Qi had the same look on his face.

Sha Li sensed from Kai Feng and Xue Qi's demeanor that the identity of this slain island guard must be extraordinary, "The surname is Yan, isn't it from the Zhi family, relative?"

"It's my own relative, but their ancestors were moved out of the family tree a thousand years ago. But this is not a reason for my father and uncle to pay attention to them. He shook his head slightly.

"When I first joined the Island Guard, Yan Chenggu was on a team with me, and at that time, his cultivation was to enter the Spirit Yuan Realm. There was a hint of confusion in Kai Feng's words, "Moreover, Yan Chenggu is extremely good at earth-based primal techniques, and his defense power is even stronger than his attack power, even Captain Chiping, whose cultivation is slightly stronger than him, may not be able to kill him." ”

"You mean, the person who killed Yan Chenggu may be at least one great realm stronger than him?" After all, Sha Li had not participated in the battle of the Yuan, and he did not know what the battle between the Yuanmen would be.

"It's not clear in the realm of cultivation, but in terms of strength, it must be stronger than Captain Chiping, and it is likely that it is not weaker than the commander. Zhi Yu patiently answered.

"Yan Chenggu was killed in the defense area, and he must have encountered a murderer during the night patrol. So is the murderer going to leave the island or has he just returned from outside the island?" whispered with his chin in his hand.

"Could it be that it's from outside the island? just like me?" Sha Li's heart suddenly tightened.

"What did you do last night, I didn't see you before the end of the day. ”

"Kaifeng, you, don't make trouble. After we finished admiring the moon last night, I went straight to bed, and you know what happened next. And you know best what I can do. Sha Li could only laugh.

"What are you talking about, you, you watched the moon together last night?"

"It's impossible for outsiders to come from outside the island. You may not know that the location of Qiyuan Island is extremely special, even if perennial seafarers pass by, they will not be able to discover this sea area. The only way outsiders can get to the island is through the Heavenly Pillar. ”

"Tianzhu, what is this?"

"To the west of the sea where Qiyuan Island is located, there is a huge active volcano on the bottom of the sea, which the islanders call a chimney, which erupts every once in a while. The magma will roll up the sea water and go straight to the sky, running through the sea and sky, so it is called a pillar of heaven. Its power can destroy a Yuan Boat at will, and ordinary Yuan people will be wiped out in an instant if they encounter it. The lucky ones, if they don't die, may be sent to Qiyuan Island. But all of them looked seriously injured and dying. Kai Feng glanced at Sha Li, "Moreover, every time the Heavenly Pillar appears, it will cause a lot of movement, and it is impossible for no one to notice." ”

"The island guards enforce the law fairly, defend the island meritoriously, and are highly respected by the islanders. Could it be that Yan Cheng Gu is a personal vendetta?" Xue Qi also expressed puzzlement.

"I hope it's just a vendetta. Is it just a coincidence that the incident of the anti-beast tide has just started, and it is the island guard who was killed?"

"Kaifeng, there is no clue about things for the time being, and it is useless to think too much. Isn't there good news? You haven't told me yet. Sha Li looked at Kai Feng's puzzled appearance and hurriedly spoke.

"That's right. I almost forgot to get down to business. Kai Feng looked at Sha Li and smiled sweetly, "The good news is that the Si Kou Yuan has decided to openly select island guards on the whole island. In addition, it is not limited to those who are only willing to participate. ”

"Open selection? Why is this?" No wonder Sha Li was puzzled, he had heard Kai Feng say that after joining the Island Guard, not only would he be able to get excellent cultivation resources, but he would also be different from ordinary Yuan in terms of status. Correspondingly, it is very difficult to join the island guard, and the conditions are harsh, and it is very bearable.

"Maybe it's because of the Reverse Beast Tide, and we need to strengthen our fighting power. It is also possible that after Yan Chenggu was killed, the Si Koyuan decided out of some consideration. "Zhi Yu has seen this matter thoroughly.

"All in all, it's a great opportunity for you. Although you have initially built a foundation," Kai Feng remembered the amazing vision when Sha Li first cultivated his vitality last night, "Although you have initially built a foundation, you are not a real Yuan Person, you ......"

"What, Brother Sha, have you already started to build a foundation?" Zhi Yu's face was full of surprise, it had only been half a month since Sha Li woke up, and with the recuperation of his injuries, it was unlikely that his cultivation vitality would exceed half a month. Ten days to cultivate vitality, in his opinion, he is already an extraordinary genius. Thinking about it, when he was six years old, it took him half a year to cultivate his vitality, and it was still the result of the accumulation of a large number of resources in the family, and he also thought that his cultivation talent was not weaker than ordinary people.

"Earlier today, it was a good achievement, and the vitality is still relatively weak. What Sha Li said was true, because he himself didn't know his own vitality.

"That's pretty powerful, this is no less than Brother Hidden Partridge, and it's even about to catch up with Kaifeng. ”

"Okay, you don't have to envy others, maybe your cultivation talent is a little inferior, but you are born with a different body, and your physique is far superior to ordinary people. If they really fight, most of the people of the same rank are not opponents. ”

"Hmm. That's true!" Zhi Yu nodded, convinced.

"It's better to ......" Kaifeng stared at Zhi Yuan, a hint of sly gaze flashed in his eyes. Sha Li suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, Kaifeng's eyes were too familiar to him, and there was absolutely nothing good. "You teach Sha Li the forging technique, his body is really, really weak. ”

"Ah!" the two exclamations came from Zhi Yu and Sha Li respectively. It was clear what Zhi Yu was thinking, and what Sha Li was thinking in his heart was: Kaifeng, where is my body weak, my body is very good.

"Why, don't you want to, but is there any difficulty?"

"No, no, Brother Sha is not only taken in by you, but also naturally my friend. Although the art of forging the body is not common, it is not an untold secret. ”

"Brother Sha, do you remember how old you are this year?" asked Xiang Sha Li suddenly.

"Fifteen. ”

"Huh?" was the surprise of three young men and women.

Because it was Xue Qi who answered.

"Yes, Grandma can touch her bones, and Sha Li's age can naturally be known. Kaifeng looked suddenly enlightened.

"I practiced qi at the age of six, forged my body at the age of ten, and practiced the secret art of forging my body for several years. You're fifteen years old now, a little older. And the body forging elixir is not, it is not common. "Zhi Yu has regarded Sha Li as a friend, so he has not hidden much in this matter. However, forging the body is the same as cultivating the yuan, and it also needs the support of huge pill resources, and the current Sha Li is indeed difficult to afford.

Sha Li didn't speak after listening, he was very grateful for Zhi Ming's honesty, and he was also grateful for his carefulness, this remark changed his cognition a lot, "Thank you, Zhi Yuan." ”

Zhi Yu was stunned.

"As for the elixir, don't worry. Xue Qi, who had been meditating, suddenly spoke, and only then did he remember that Sha Li's quasi-master was himself an alchemy master.

"As for age, don't worry too much. ”

After hearing this, Zhi Yu did not speak, but he felt a lot of doubts in his heart, a person's body began to grow rapidly around the age of ten, and it was the best choice to exercise the body at this time. Xue Qi, as a divine doctor, should know the truth very well.

"I have my own way of adapting my muscles and bones to the state of forging my body, and I may not be able to reach the golden age of ten years old, but there is no obstacle to practicing the secret art of forging my body. Xue Qi's tone was still flat, but no one could question the authority of the divine doctor.

"Is it true, Grandma, do you really have a way?" Triumphant jumped to Xue Qi's side like a butterfly, grabbing his upper arm with both hands.

Xue Qi patted Kaifeng's hand, "However, I'm afraid I need your help, and of course, there is also Zhi Yu." ”

"Grandma, what kind of plan do you have, do you still need me and Zhi Yu to make a move?" Kai Feng expressed puzzlement, and so did Zhi Yu.

"Remember the man-eating animal in the north? The body of the old cow, the face of the man, the hooves of the horse, all red. ”

"You mean that deed. This beast is very cunning, not only has a human face, but can also learn to cry infants, and has lured several mortal islanders with this. The island guard had wanted to catch it, but he never found a trace. Kaifeng seemed to be disgusted by the beasts.

"But Grandma, the north is not my patrol area, so it's not good to rush across the area to arrest it. ”

"So, we need to help. ”

Kaifeng suddenly realized, and Sha Li remembered another identity of Zhi Yuan.

"Just put this on me. He patted his chest.

"Sha Li, thank you. Xue Qi began to explain Sha Li in the tone of his master.

"Brother Zhi, I really thank you for your generosity!" said Sha Li, who was about to clench his fists and bow down.

"It's all big men, you don't have to be such a mother-in-law, haha. Zhi Yu hurriedly helped him through.

"By the way, Divine Doctor Xue, you haven't told me yet, what's the use of catching this evil beast?"

"Refine, Living Bone Pill. ”
