Chapter 8: The Cleansing Ceremony
Zhao Chen carried Ziyuan on his back and walked towards Baihua Peak, a gray robe wrapped around Ziyuan's wounds, his face was a little pale, and his expression was weak. The three pills of the Spirit Pill were still lying in Zhao Chen's spiritual qi bag, no matter what Zhao Chen said, Ziyuan refused to take a single pill.
Maybe this is Ziyuan's pride, just like he doesn't want to return to the first peak.
Zhao Chen avoided the crowd and went around in a big circle, when the two came to Baihua Peak, it was already dusk, the golden yellow of the sunset was sprinkled on Baihua Peak, and the spirit flowers echoed with the wind, which was very beautiful.
"Senior brother, take a break, I'll get you something to eat. Zhao Chen put Ziyuan on the bamboo couch and said softly.
"No, cough~, I've already taken the Qi Refining Pill. Ziyuan's voice was weak.
"Senior brother, if you don't want to eat the spirit pill, forget it, I'll stew a spiritual object for you to eat, so that the wound will heal quickly. ”
When Ziyuan heard the spiritual object, his face twitched, and his voice was still extremely weak: "It's okay." ”
。。。
Soon, a pheasant was disemboweled, plucked and brought back by Zhao Chen. Light the fire, set up the pot, brush the oil, add water, and the actions are done in one go, Zhao Chen's figure is constantly busy in the courtyard, and the movements are very skillful.
"Gollum. The water boiled, and a smell of meat spread throughout the courtyard, stimulating the taste buds of the two, Ziyuan lay on the bed, smelled the meat, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Soon, a bowl of steaming chicken soup was placed in front of Zhao Chen's eyes, Zhao Chen reached into the aura bag, and put the spirit pill glowing with Shenhua into the bowl, and the spirit pill melted into the bowl.
"The road of cultivation is long, how many people can be sentient?" Zhao Chen looked into the room, his eyes glowing with relief.
"Senior brother, it's time to drink the soup and start the meal, but today I specially added wild mushrooms to it, which is extremely delicious. After cooling the chicken soup slightly, Zhao Chen brought it into the house.
Ziyuan opened his eyes slightly, and struggled to support himself with his hands.
Zhao Chen bent down and handed the bowl to Ziyuan's mouth. After a few sips, the chicken soup entered his throat, Ziyuan had a trace of strangeness in his eyes, his eyes looked at Zhao Chen, and he saw Zhao Chen bending over with a bright smile on his face. The corners of Ziyuan's mouth rose slightly, shook his head slightly, and gulped down the chicken soup in the bowl. Then the two smiled at each other, and they knew it.
The chicken soup entered his stomach, and a cool feeling filled Ziyuan's whole body, the internal injuries slowly healed, the wounds on his legs healed quickly, Ziyuan exhaled comfortably, and his weak body regained strength. The effect of the Spirit Pill was amazing, and with a sweep of the decline of his body, Ziyuan got up and sat up.
Zhao Chen stood in front of the bamboo couch, motionless, with a smile on his face.
"Give Senior Brother some meat, why are you stunned there?" Ziyuan pretended to scold.
"Okay, wait a minute!"
。。。
"Senior brother, do you have any holiday with the three of Xiaoyao Peak" As the sun set, Zhao Chen and Ziyuan sat in the courtyard and talked to each other, and the sunset stretched their shadows very long.
"Maybe it was instructed by Chu Zhongyuan. Ziyuan couldn't help but sigh a little.
"Chu Zhongyuan, did Senior Brother have a holiday with him?" Zhao Chen said suspiciously.
"Three years ago, Chu Zhongyuan and Lijing pulled me to explore an ancient realm together, I thought it was just an ordinary ancient realm, but I didn't expect that there was a murderous motive hidden in it, and it was a conspiracy carefully planned by the two of them. After entering the ancient realm, Chu Zhongyuan and the departure of the realm shot at me, the two of them planned to kill the killer, I was forced to rush into the center of the ancient realm with the Fengxing Sword, thousands of phantom beasts in the center of the ancient realm, the danger is abnormal, it is estimated that they all think that I can't survive. Ziyuan said, with a slight hint of resentment and unwillingness in his eyes. "I fought in the ancient realm for three days, I was seriously injured, and finally burned my essence and blood, forcibly used the method of the Spirit Yuan Realm, and tore a crack in the void and escaped. After coming back, his cultivation fell sharply and fell into the early stage of the Shengyuan Realm. Later, under the exclusion of Chu Zhongyuan, I went to the Chujin Peak. ”
"It's really a despicable villain, they are all the brothers of a peak, and they will actually kill the killer. Zhao Chen listened and was angry.
"Because the peak master appreciates me very much. ”
"Then the peak master doesn't care?"
"Senior brother, a genius who is stifled is not a genius, and this world does not sympathize with the weak. ”
A different kind of emotion came to his heart, Zhao Chen's eyes looked at the sky in the distance, the sky had gradually darkened, the wind was blowing gently, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing.
The avenue is ruthless, and what he has heard and seen today has given Zhao Chen a little clear understanding of this world for the first time. He retracted his thoughts, his eyes full of determination.
。。。
Another day, the weather was good, the wind was beautiful.
"Knock~knock~knock~" Three long bells rang from afar. Zhao Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
"The Cleansing Ceremony. Ziyuan walked out of the house, looked in the direction of Chu Jinfeng, and said softly.
"The Cleansing Ceremony?" Zhao Chen stood up and wondered.
"The biennial Heaven Washing Ceremony, the Heaven Washing Pool is opened, and all the disciples who have completed Qi Xia Gong will enter the Heaven Washing Pool to be reborn. All the disciples of Waifeng gathered to watch the ceremony, which is also a biennial event of Waifeng. The other nine main peaks will also send people over to compete for genius disciples with extraordinary qualifications. ”
Zhao Chen's eyes were curious: "That must be very lively." ”
"Well, junior brother, you can also go and have a look. Ziyuan said.
"Okay, what about you, senior brother?"
"I'm not going, I feel like I'm going to break through. The Heaven Washing Ceremony will be held today, and I will not return to the first peak, and I have been cultivating in Baihua Peak in the past few days. Ziyuan said.
。。。
When Zhao Chen came to the foot of the mountain that had just entered the peak, it was already noon. Today's first summit was very lively, and the mountain path was crowded with people going up the mountain.
"Fatty, I heard that you are going to enter the pool too. ”
"Remove these two words, you fat man and I are talented, what's so strange about entering the pool. ”
"Cut~ Oh, by the way, you Izumo Peak seems to have the most disciples in the pool this time. ”
"I didn't expect you to be very good at cultivation, but you know a lot. ”
"Dead fatty, I'll go to your grandfather's spiral leg, and I'll also go into the Heavenly Washing Pool, and I'll put it on you. ”
There were two people in front of Zhao Chen, one of them was extremely obese, his fat belly seemed to fall off, and a huge mole looked extremely swaggering at the corner of his mouth, and his face was ugly. The other man was skinny and short, in great contrast to the former, but the same thing was that he looked very ugly. The two walked side by side, following the flow of people towards the mountain.
"Dead fat man, you Izumo Peak is said to have produced a peerless beauty, with extraordinary talent, what is Qin Ying's name? ”
"I won't tell you anything, after a while, the peerless beauty in your mouth will bathe with my fat master in a washing pool, envy?"
The man next to him was a little speechless, and rolled his eyes at the fat man.
"The two senior brothers, under Zhao Chen, have been looking up for a long time. Zhao Chen patted the two of them on the shoulder and squeezed forward.
"Have you heard my story?" the fat man touched the swaggering mole on his face with his hand.
"No, but the two senior brothers are heroic, magnificent, and their gestures are extraordinary. If you think about it, there must be legends of the two in the sect. Zhao Chen blushed and said seriously.
"Haha, my junior brother is really as wise as a torch. The fat man was in a good mood and laughed. The other person also smiled and looked at Zhao Chen.
"What do you call the two senior brothers?" Zhao Chen asked
"Izumo Peak, Li Sansan. ”
"Qingquan Peak, Qian Lele. ”
"I have been looking up for a long time, my junior brother is Baihua Peak, Zhao Chen. ”
The three of them introduced each other and walked forward.
"Senior brother, I haven't been down the mountain for a long time, and the news is blocked, can the two senior brothers tell me what kind of Tianjiao is like the two senior brothers, so that I can increase my knowledge. ”
"There are not many people as talented as me like the fat man, but there are a few, such as Qin Ying of our Izumo Peak, Luo Wuya of Guxia Peak, and Lu Xue of Moon Blade Peak. ”
How can this person be more shameless than Zhang Ruxue, Zhao Chen felt a little disdain in his heart. This Li Sansan, is it just a big belly, a big head, and a big cowhide.
After a while, the three of them had reached the peak of their first peak. At the top of the peak is a huge inverted bucket-shaped pit that descends in the shape of a staircase, and in the center of it is a square pool that can accommodate hundreds of people, and the water is clear and steaming.
