Su Xian nodded and asked again, "What the hell is this?" ”

"You wait!" Shu Wuzhi didn't answer Su Xian's question immediately, but just held his forehead with one hand and raised it with the other to stop Su Xian's questioning, his expression looked painful, "You...... You let me ...... slowly."

Su Xian: "......"

"Master?" Su Xian asked in a low voice.

Shu Wuzhi let out a weak "ah", and finally turned around and muttered, "I know, I know, didn't you just see it?" ”

He pointed to the ball of light next to Xiao Chu's shoulder, and his expression quickly returned to his usual appearance, and he only said lightly: "That is the immortal soul on Xiao Chu's body." ”

Su Xian heard Shu Wuzhi's statement and knew that he had not guessed wrong before, so he asked again: "You said that you can talk to Xiao Chu, is you talking to this wisp of immortal soul?" But it doesn't seem to speak. ”

Su Xian didn't say that she had tried to talk to the immortal soul in her room before, but there was no other response in exchange for Yaolan's terrifying eyes.

Shu Wuzhi couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't it talking to you?" ”

"Huh?" Su Xian followed Shu Wuzhi's line of sight and looked towards the ball of light.

The small ball of light seemed to be much more active than before, and it was shaking slightly, Su Xian had seen it blue and orange before, but now for some reason, it turned red again, and the red seemed to be a little warm.

Su Xian suddenly understood: "You mean color?" ”

"This little guy is very interesting, and his mood is written on the ball."

"Mood?" Su Xian still looked at the ball of light, hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it happy now?" ”

Shu Wuzhi hadn't answered Su Xian's words yet, but the ball of light shook by itself, seeing that the color of the ball of light, which was already red and shiny, was getting brighter and brighter, Su Xian was a little worried about whether it would suddenly explode.

Shu Wuzhi nodded: "You can understand it after a little more contact." He was originally smiling casually, but when he said this, he suddenly looked solemn and said in a low voice, "Using people to refine puppets is stronger than other treasures, because they have a wisp of soul in that person's life, and it carries that person's cultivation before life, and can understand the master's words, better than other puppets." So the orders you give to Xiao Chu on weekdays are actually completed by relying on this soul. ”

Su Xian was not proficient in the art of puppets, but when he heard Shu Wuzhi talk about it this time, he could be regarded as understanding.

"Can you understand what Xiao Chu said?" Su Xian said again.

Shu Wuzhi nodded, but his face was smiling: "Don't think that if you can see it, it's over, being able to see it is just the beginning of your heart, and it will take a while to be able to listen." ”

Su Xian naturally couldn't understand: "Please teach me, Master." ”

Shu Wuzhi laughed: "I will teach you, but this is not something that can be completed overnight." When he said this, he didn't say anything more, and soon after, there was another sound outside the hall, Su Xian raised his eyes and saw Mu Shuliang, Fu Wei, Jin Shuang and others coming. Mu Shuliang entered the hall, and when he saw Su Xian, he bowed his head lightly with a smile, "Senior Sister Su." ”

Su Xian answered, and after a while, Yaolan also came, after she came, she first glanced at Shu Wuzhi, and then quietly came to Su Xian's side, and whispered to Su Xian: "I also said that I forgot to tell you, today the disciples of the Zhiming Sect have to come to the main hall to say something, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”

"I'm going to ask something." Su Xian said the purpose of his coming, and then swept the people around, and asked Xiaolan in a low voice, "Is this about Bilan Mountain?" ”

"It should be." Xiaolan nodded.

The two were silent for a moment, until Li Bi, the last disciple of the Zhiming Sect, came late.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Shu Wuzhi finally chuckled lightly and said: "The purpose of my search for you to come here, you should all know very well, you came back late last night, and I didn't ask in detail, now you tell me what happened in Bilan Mountain." ”

Hearing Shu Wuzhi ask like this, everyone began to talk in a few words, and each told Shu Wuzhi what they knew, and it took Shu Wuzhi for a while to understand everything.

It's just that there is one more thing that he didn't figure out: "The people of the Ghost Gate will not go to Bilan Mountain to kill Mrs. Yan for no reason, the purpose of their trip ......"

"Master." Mu Shuliang was silent because he didn't go to Bilan Mountain and had nothing to explain, and only now did he finally speak, "The ghost gate also came to me a few days ago, and almost all of their recent actions are related to Sifang City, and I think this time should be no exception." ”

"Quadrang City?" Yao Lan was slightly stunned when she heard this.

When Jin Shuang and the others saw her reaction, they said, "What, junior sister, have you also heard of Sifang City?" ”

Yao Lan nodded and said: "I have heard people say that Sifang City is an extremely mysterious place, their cultivation methods are different, most of the people in the city are masters, and their medical skills are also unique, but although they are famous in the world, very few people know where they are. There are occasional disciples of the Sifang City in the world, but very few outsiders can find and enter the Sifang City. The name of the city has appeared in this world for more than 100 years, but no one has been able to tell its exact location. ”

After a pause, Yao Lan spoke: "What is the ghost gate doing in Sifang City?" ”

No one answered Yaolan's question, but Shu Wuzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said to Xiaolan: "You know a lot of things. ”

Yao Lan was about to speak again, but when she heard Shu Wuzhi speak, she immediately stopped and only retracted behind Su Xian.

Only then did Shu Wuzhi say to Mu Shuliang: "I just remembered when you said that." ”

"Regarding Mrs. Yan's identity, everyone only knows that she has excellent medical skills, and she once saved the seriously injured Chu family master by fate, and later married into the Chu family." Shu Wuzhi said thoughtfully, "She refuses to tell others about her life experience, but because of her life-saving grace to the master of the Chu family, no one has to embarrass her, so-"

"The origin is unknown, and she has excellent medical skills, you say that she may actually be a person from the Sifang City?" Xiao Lan is familiar with the interface.

Shu Wuzhi nodded and chuckled, the conversation between the two was familiar as if it had happened before.

And after laughing, Shu Wuzhi raised his eyes in surprise and glanced at Yaolan more, but Xiaolan had already closed her mouth at this time.

However, although Shu Wuzhi's words were true, they were just his guesses, whether the truth was really the case, no one could say, because Mrs. Yan had gone to the mirror now, and the clues on her body had long been broken, and without a clue, Shu Wuzhi had to let Mu Shuliang investigate the recent movements of the ghost gate first, to see if they really got something from Mrs. Yan.

Everyone was puzzled, but Su Xian was the one who knew this best.

Because the clue left by Mrs. Yan is actually on her. But when Yan Zhixin entered the mirror, he once said that this matter must not be known by others, and the jade pendant cannot be taken away by the people of the ghost gate. Although Su Xian didn't know what the role of the jade pendant was, he couldn't say anything about it at this time.

The discussion was fruitless, and Shu Wuzhi no longer bothered about this matter, just waiting for Mu Shuliang to find out the result. At this time, Shu Wuzhi asked for the Xuanyang Mirror from Su Xian's hand again, then got up and rubbed his arm casually, took a sip of wine and said, "Okay, you have been in the house for so long, it's time to start real cultivation, come with me." After he said this, he walked towards the middle of the main hall, and he naturally said this to the three new entrants, while Mu Shuliang and the other disciples who had entered early silently followed behind Shu Wuzhi.

Xiaolan looked at Shu Wuzhi's back and muttered in a low voice, "What is this person doing?" ”

She glanced at Su Xian, and saw that Su Xian had no way of knowing, so she entered the inner hall with Su Xian, and the inner hall was also very spacious, but unlike the front hall, it was full of small tables, and there were pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table in each chapter, and there were several books stacked on top of each other on the right side of the table.

But at a glance, Li Bi couldn't help but say, "Old man, are you going to let us copy the book?" ”

Shu Wuzhi froze for a long time, and reacted for a while before pointing to his nose and turning back: "You call me old man?" ”

Li Bi didn't speak, but his expression clearly told Shu that he didn't know the answer.

Shu Wuzhi snorted and laughed twice, "That's right, you go find a place to sit down by yourself, our practice for the next month is to copy books, I will give you different books every day, thirty times a day." After he said this, he pointed to Li Bi and said, "You copy it a hundred times." ”

Li Bi's face changed, and he said coldly: "I won't copy, I said a long time ago that I didn't come here to do this." ”

"It's okay if you don't copy it, as long as you can beat me." After Shu Wuzhi said this, he took Li Bi out and beat him, but in the end, Li Bi still had a blue nose and swollen face, and reluctantly came back to copy the book.

Copying books is indeed a very boring thing, but not necessarily for Su Xian. She has been in the Xuanyue Sect since she was a child, and the only thing she can do on weekdays is to practice, read books and practice flutes, before Chu Qingjiu appeared in her life, she was a very quiet person, and she has always been distracted from doing things, so she quickly copied the thirty times of the scriptures. After copying, Su Xian looked to the side, and saw that Shu Wuzhi was holding a sip of wine in his hand, and he was holding a book in his other hand, and he was also watching quietly, not caring what the disciples of the Ming Sect were doing.

And beside Su Xian, Yao Lan sometimes lowered her head, sometimes raised her head, and the pen was scribbling on the paper, looking very serious, but it really didn't look like she was copying a book. Su Xian thought about her recently, and couldn't help but glance at it more, but saw a person drawn on the paper, with clear outlines, long eyelashes slightly drooping, and a smile that seemed to be smiling, with a breezy and moonlit posture, it was Shu Wuzhi who was reading a book in front.

Su Xian: "......"

Yaolan seemed to sense Su Xian's gaze, turned her head suddenly, and carefully covered the painting in front of her.

Su Xian pointed to the painting pressed under her hand amusedly, raised her eyebrows silently, Yaolan's complexion changed several times, and her face was even dyed with some redness, but she raised a finger on her lips and signaled her not to say it.

Su Xian couldn't say it, she used to copy a lot of books in the small building where Xuanyue taught her, but it was the first time that many people copied books together like today, she felt quite interesting in her heart, and after reading Yaolan, she turned her head to look at the others. I saw that Jin Shuang and Fu Wei were still bowing their heads and copying, and they were very serious about every word. And not far behind them sat Li Bi, who still had the same blue nose and swollen face, and looked very clumsy when he copied the book, every stroke was extremely stiff, but he wrote very deeply, and his hands were stained with ink.

It was only then that Su Xian understood why he refused to copy the book - this person was clearly illiterate and could not write.

And behind Li Bi was Mu Shuliang, who was sitting quietly in the corner.

As the most outstanding person among the young disciples of the entire Empty Cicada Sect, his name was naturally often mentioned, and no matter who said it, they couldn't help but praise him twice, saying that he was well-behaved, humble and polite, cultivated for the sake of gain, and was a cultivation wizard.

Now, however, the cultivation wizard was sleeping on his desk.

At sunset, Shu Wuzhi finally finished reading the book, rubbed his shoulders and got up and asked everyone to sort out the book they copied today and hand it to him. Everyone handed in the book, only Yao Landong wrote and wrote the Western painting and finally handed over nothing, and Li Bi also tossed for a long time and only copied it three times, and Mu Shuliang, who had slept all day, conjured up the book thirty times out of nowhere and handed it to Shu Wuzhi.

Watching Mu Shuliang gently hand over the book, slowly walking out of the main hall, followed by Fu Wei, the seventh senior brother who kept rubbing his wrists, Su Xian understood it.

Mu Shuliang's book was actually copied by Fu Wei for him.

That night, because they didn't finish copying the book, Yaolan and Li Bi were called to his residence by Shu Wuzhi, and Shu Wuzhi had nothing to do, and waited until the two of them copied until late at night before letting them go.

Every day in the next day, Shu Wuzhi's so-called cultivation was to read and copy books, and time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they copied books for two months.

And in the past two months, Mu Shuliang has not been with them all the time, he is already extremely busy, he is not in the Ming Sect for three days, even if he comes back, he is just lying on his stomach and sleeping at the back, and the books are all copied by Fu Wei for him, Shu Wuzhi saw it in his eyes and didn't care about him.

And Li Bi has gone through the very first period of time, and now the speed of writing has begun to speed up, and there is no longer a need to go to Shu Wuzhi's place every day to write late at night.

The only one who still can't finish copying the book is Yaolan.

Since the first time she went to Shu Wuzhi's residence, Xiaolan has never been serious when she copied books every day, tried all kinds of ways to delay time, and finally asked Shu Wuzhi to take her back, and waited until she finished copying in the middle of the night before returning with a well-fed look, and then rolled over in bed in a good mood for a long time before falling asleep.

How could Su Xian not be able to guess her thoughts, but she couldn't let go of Shu Wuzhi, so she also let her go, Yaolan was full of spring breeze in the house, and she talked to the ball of light next to Xiao Chu, and gradually although she still couldn't hear the response of the ball of light, she could tell what the color of the ball of light represented.

The warmer the color of the light ball, the happier it is, and the darker and darker it is, the lower its mood.

The more he came into contact, the more Su Xian felt that the ball of light was more like a child's temperament, and his mood changed very quickly, but most of the time he was as happy as the sun......

After copying the book for two months, except for one Yaolan who enjoyed it every day, the other disciples were more or less tired of it, but Su Xian was not in a hurry, and he was still the first person to finish copying every day.

Finally, one day, Shu Wuzhi called Su Xian out alone.

"Actually, your realm is already above several other people, and you shouldn't have copied these things, but I've let you copy them with them for so long, will you be dissatisfied with me?" As soon as Su Xian approached, Shu Wuzhi said these words.

Su Xian listened to his tone, shook his head and said, "I like to copy books very much." What she said was not a lie, she used to read a lot of books in the Xuanyue Sect, but the Xuanyue Sect was called a cult, and there were demons and demons in the sect, but there were no Taoist priests, so she didn't have a chance to read the classics of the Daomen. Now that she sees these scriptures in her eyes, she only feels that these scriptures are profound and profound, and she has never seen them before, which really makes her a lot of interest. And although the things mentioned above had nothing to do with cultivating spiritual power, it made Su Xian feel something, she knew that Shu Wuzhi asked them to copy scriptures not for practice, but for heart training.

Hearing Su Xian's answer, Shu Wuzhi shook his head and laughed: "It's a pity that I can't let you copy it anymore." ”

Su Xian knew that he had other arrangements, so he waited for him to continue.

Shu Wu knew: "You are the disciple with the fastest cultivation speed I have ever seen, but, too fast." ”

"Yes." Su Xian didn't refute, and she knew it very well in her heart, so she didn't doubt Shu Wuzhi's arrangement.

She came to the Empty Cicada Sect for a short time, and what she had practiced before this was not the Daomen Sect, and now although she had the beginning of her heart because of an encounter in the Xuanyang Mirror of Bilan Mountain, she had no understanding of the Daomen and the exercises of the Daomen, and the two months of copying books gave her a better understanding of the Daomen.

Shu Wuzhi nodded, and said, "Now you can start the next step of cultivation." From tomorrow onwards, you don't need to copy any more books, follow me to the back mountain and cloud cave. After a pause, Shu Wuzhi said again, "By the way, bring your puppet and bring some food, you may have to stay in it for a short time." ”

Su Xian nodded in agreement.

After returning to the twenty-three rooms of Zhuzi that night, Su Xian sued Xiaolan about the matter.

"Cloud Cave?! Shu Wuzhi chose you to go? Seeing Su Xian's puzzled expression, she immediately explained, "If I am not mistaken, that place should be the forbidden place of the Empty Cicada Sect, three hundred years ago, there was a master of the Empty Cicada Sect who studied the formation of the mechanism lived in that cave, and then he died, but the formations inside still existed, and the Empty Cicada Sect regarded that place as a place to test disciples." One month is the day when the Xuantian Trial begins, and the various sects will naturally start selecting people to participate in the Xuantian Trial. ”

"However, there are two ways to choose this choice, one is to let all the disciples who want to participate in the trial fight each other, divide the winners and losers, and finally choose the winner. There is also a way, which is to pass the trial of the cloud cave. Yao Lan continued, "Every year, the four major sects will each select one person to participate in the trial, and those who can safely pass the trial in the cloud cave can directly participate in the Xuantian trial, and they don't have to compete with others. However, the trial of the Cloud Entanglement Cave is very dangerous, and there are very few disciples who can successfully pass the guò trial every year, and it is easier to participate in the Xuantian test through the guò trial than to compete directly with others. Shu didn't know how to choose you to go, and I don't know what kind of peace of mind I had. ”

Su Xian recalled Shu Wuzhi's expression when he said this, and said in silence for a while: "Maybe he didn't regard this as a trial, but just an opportunity to practice." ”

In any case, since he was able to practice and win a place to participate in the Xuantian Examination, Su Xian was willing to go.

Su Xian packed up his things that night, put on a mask for Xiao Chu early the next morning, picked up the packed package, and took Xiao Chu to the back mountain together.

At the foot of the back mountain, Shu Wuzhi waited there early. Seeing Su Xian coming, Shu Wuzhi smiled: "Wait, the disciples of other sects haven't come yet." ”

Su Xian and Xiao Chu stood behind Shu Wuzhi together, waiting quietly, and after a while, they saw people coming here one after another, including Mei Shuangmeng, the sect leader of Meng Zhang's sect, whom Su Xian had seen before.
