Chapter 42: The Turmoil in Zhuchang (Part II)

If others heard this, they would either be ecstatic, or they would be annoyed that Senior Sister Chen gave gifts so embarrassingly, and it was not acceptable for people to accept it, nor would they not accept it. However, for Changning, this little spirit bead was not enough to move her, and she asked curiously, "Senior sister, what are you doing?" "She's just a person who came to collect spirit beads, and she doesn't deserve such a bribe from Senior Sister Chen, right? Taishangzong will send someone to evaluate the bead field every hundred years, and determine the number of spirit beads to be handed in, each time it is handed over according to the regulations, it is not enough to have one less, Senior Sister Chen has been in charge of the bead field for many years, and the rules will only be clearer than her.

Seeing that she was not happy or angry, Senior Sister Chen only asked herself the reason, and couldn't help but smile, "Senior Sister, you don't think that Senior Sister Bai really just asked you to get the spirit beads, right?" Who can't take the spirit beads? "Senior Sister Chen did not worship under the sect of Cangfeng Yuanjun, and called the disciples in the door according to cultivation.

"Senior sister wants me to come out and relax." Changning knew that Senior Sister Bai always thought that she was cultivating too hard and would get lost in cultivation, and often encouraged her to go out to play, and Changning should do it once or twice out of ten.

Senior Sister Chen pointed to these spirit beads, "Senior Sister thinks these spirit beads are precious?" ”

"It's all created by heaven and earth, and of course it's precious." Changning said.

"Senior sister, do you want it?" Senior Sister Chen asked with a smile.

"The sect has enough aura, I don't need this at the moment." Changning smiled lightly and said politely refused, she didn't want to owe her personal favor for these foreign things she didn't need at all.

Her words made Senior Sister Chen laugh, "Senior Sister is clear-minded, Senior Sister Bai is too worried." Seeing Changning looking at herself, she smiled slightly, and said eloquently, "Our Taishang Sect enrolls hundreds of thousands of people every ten years, can the senior sister know how many people can become outer disciples after ten years?" ”

Changning shook his head, "I don't know, the number of people will be very small." "Because the sect has no conditions to accept disciples at all, but it is actually difficult to become a disciple of the Taishang Sect, and it is good to keep one out of a hundred people.

"There are never more than 1,000 people who can become outer disciples in the past, and how many of these outer disciples will be left in fifty years?" Senior Sister Chen didn't need Changning to answer this time, so she said to herself, "There is no half hundred left!" Of the disciples who came in with me, only 36 of them still persist in cultivating. ”

"This is the so-called hard road, and there are always a few people who can go to the back." Changning was not surprised to hear these words. The world thinks that qi refiners do not eat grains, inhale wind and drink dew, and are like fairies, always yearning for it. In fact, they are all Ye Gong and good dragons, and when they really cultivate, they don't know how many people will be stumped just by abstinence. The avenue is long, no one dares to be sure whether the pure heart and few desires in this life can really refine immortality, many Taoist children who come to Taishang Sect have the idea of learning some spells, seeking a longevity of one or two hundred years, and returning to the world to enjoy happiness, once the Dao heart is shaken, it will be completely lost with immortality.

"Yes." Senior Sister Chen picked up a spirit bead in her hand and said with emotion: "At that time, we were new to the school, and we didn't know the preciousness of the past ten years. At that time, I was always restless, and at the slightest temptation, my heart was unstable, and when I knew the preciousness of this decade, I regretted it. ”

Changning was silent, this is actually the same as modern reading, students always feel that reading is hard when they go to school, and when they really don't have to go to school, they know how carefree the students are during that time, and there are only a few who have the opportunity to regret and live again. And the country is easy to change and difficult to move, and if you are really reborn, you may not be able to live a better life.

"Senior Sister Bai asked Senior Sister to come here at the entrance, just to tell Senior Sister that only hard cultivation is fundamental, and these foreign things are not worth mentioning! However, the junior sister's mind is exquisite and transparent, and we are worried about the senior sister's whiteness. Senior Sister Chen smiled, there was a little more appreciation in her tone, when she saw the spiritual vein and the bead field for the first time, she didn't know how long she was shocked, unlike Senior Sister who only admired the beautiful scenery.

Changning agrees with Senior Sister Chen's words, it is true that cultivating with heart is the foundation, when the money reaches a certain level, it is a number, of course, it is also because they rely on the big tree of Taishangzong, so they are all lucky. She saluted Senior Sister Chen, "Changning only cares about these things because he doesn't know the suffering of the world, and Senior Sister really understands me and cares for me wholeheartedly, so she is willing to guide me." "It is unreasonable for others to point out their own feelings, and Changning's worship is sincere.

Senior Sister Chen hurriedly said, "Senior Sister is tormenting me when she says this." She pointed to those spirit beads and smiled: "These spirit beads were given by Yuanjun, junior sister just accept them, and each of us has them." She paused and said with emotion: "Uncle Bai also instructed me like this back then, she said that we Liuxia Peak can't be ordinary people with a small family. At this point, Senior Sister Chen can be regarded as Changning as her own person, and talked about what she called Bai Xue in private.

Uncle Bai? She called Senior Sister Bai her uncle, so she might be a disciple of Senior Sister? That's right, the senior sister is in the Jindan period, and she can indeed accept apprentices. Changning was not surprised that Senior Sister Bai would recruit new disciples, and this move is estimated to be in every vein in the sect.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" Senior Sister Chen noticed that Senior Sister Shen's expression seemed a little strange.

Changning shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think that it is a blessing that we can get the favor of Yuanjun in our previous life." ”

Senior Sister Chen nodded and said: "So we should cherish the blessings in front of us, I was fortunate to have Uncle Bai's guidance with a few senior sisters back then, but now I and Ah Tao are still there." She sighed lightly, and the disciples who left the Taishang Sect were not worried that there was no good way out.

"Everyone has his own ambitions." When it doesn't matter, Changning never evaluates other people's choices.

Senior Sister Chen heard the indifference in her tone, and secretly thought in her heart, this little junior sister is a good embryo of natural cultivation, both of them worship the Yuanjun lineage, maybe there may be senior sisters in the future, Senior Sister Chen is closer to Changning. Senior Sister Chen is one of Qin Yiqing's registered disciples, if it weren't for Qin Yiqing's serious injury and retreat cultivation, she would have already apprenticed. "Senior sister has just built a foundation, right? Now is the best stage of quenching, if the junior sister is fine, she can stay here for a few more days, there is nothing else rare in the bead field, and the spiritual liquid pool is of great benefit to the monk's quenching body. ”

Changning heard that he could assist in cultivation, so he was not polite, "I'm sorry to disturb the two senior sisters." ”

"Senior sister can come, we can't ask for it, so what's the bother." Senior Sister Chen laughed loudly.

While the two were talking, a small thing flew over quickly, chirping at Changning.

Changning patted its fleshy little body comfortingly, fed it another pill, the little thing lowered its head and pecked, and continued to chirp for a while, Changning frowned slightly.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you little hummingbird?" Senior Sister Chen asked.

Changning smiled: "It's nothing, it's lost with its companion." ”

Senior Sister Chen comforted her and said, "The spiritual veins here are quite deep, but there are only three paths, which are very simple, and you can fly out in a while." ”

"Senior sister, before I came here, Senior Sister Bai also asked me to bring back a hundred hundred-year-old peach branches, saying that the sect would match Dao Tong with a peach wood sword." Changning mentioned Bai Xue's instructions before leaving.

Senior Sister Chen said: "It's easy, I'll ask Ah Tao to send it later." ”

"I'd better get it myself, don't bother Senior Sister Bai." Changning Road.

Senior Sister Chen thought for a while and said with a smile, "Why don't I call Ah Tao down, the three of us will talk together, I haven't drunk with Ah Tao for a long time." She raised her hand and handed out a paper crane, "Speaking of which, we also have something to trouble junior sister." ”

"What?" Changning asked.

"That's-" As soon as Senior Sister Chen's hand was raised, nine pieces of jade with fine light flowing appeared in front of her, and as soon as the jade pieces appeared, they directly rushed to the depths of the secret passage, and at the same time, a sea of fire ignited in the tunnel, and the flames were steaming, "Who trespassed into the Taishang Sect's important land!" With Senior Sister Chen's soft drink, the nine sword lights twisted into the sea of fire.

It turned out that the hummingbird that rushed out first came to sue SΓΉ Changning, there was a person lying in the depths of the spiritual vein, Changning was really surprised when he heard it, this spiritual vein was sealed by the master himself, and every hundred years there will be maintenance and inspection in the Jindan monk, it stands to reason that there will be absolutely no problems, but someone broke through the prohibition, Changning sent a message without thinking about it, and then told Senior Sister Chen. The two chatted quietly, and secretly prepared to leave the comers.

"Hideous-" A beast roar came from the depths of the spiritual vein, and the sound seemed to sound from the bottom of people's hearts, Senior Sister Chen's heart shook when she heard the beast roar, and the sword in her hand couldn't hold it steadily, and her body fell back involuntarily. A person silently floated out of the ground behind her, and that person supported Senior Sister Chen with his right hand, and picked up Changning with his left hand and stepped back.

Rao Changning already knew about this person's existence, but he was still taken aback by the way he appeared. But how can there be beasts in the spirit veins? Didn't you say that there was only one person? Could it be a demon cultivator? Changning was not affected by this beast roar, and the beast roar sounded a little louder when she heard it, and as soon as she raised her hand, the peachwood sword rushed inside like a red dragon.

Senior Sister Tao glanced at Changning, she is a demon of plants and trees, and she has a natural defense against this kind of divine sense attack, this little junior sister can actually resist it, I don't know if she is talented or has a magic weapon on her body.

"Hideous-hideous-" According to the fierce beast roared several times in the cave, a huge figure emerged from the mouth of the passage, Changning only felt a gust of fishy wind rushing towards him, and a strange red-skinned black panther rushed towards them with red eyes, this red leopard had a horn on the top of its head and five tails behind it, Changning felt a little familiar at first glance, but she didn't have time to think about it, she directly swung her big sword, jumped up, and slashed at the red leopard.

"Wait!" Senior Sister Chen found a very familiar token hanging around the neck of this monster, "This is a spirit beast of the sect!" ”

At this time, Senior Sister Tao and Changning also discovered this token, Changning was not familiar with the talisman in the door, Senior Sister Chen and Senior Sister Tao knew at a glance that this was their Qingxu Palace, the two looked at each other, and they didn't know who in the door would come here? When Changning heard Senior Sister Chen's words, he hurriedly changed his sword momentum halfway, but he still hit the strange leopard hard, and the strange leopard was smashed and was not called "hideous", but let out a whining sound, and his huge body slid hundreds of meters away against the cave wall. Senior Sister Chen and Senior Sister Tao couldn't help but look sideways, this little junior sister has so much strength!

The strange leopard's smashed body was swollen, and a large piece of fur on its body rubbed off, and it kept barking its teeth at Changning, staring at Changning viciously with big glass bead-like eyes, as if she was an enemy of life and death, but Changning didn't move, it seemed to have some order, and it didn't dare to move, and the five tails kept whipping the ground irritably, crackling.

"Senior sister, is there anyone in there?" Changning saw that this monster seemed to be guarding something.

"Chirp-" Another little hummingbird rushed out like an arrow, Changning grabbed it, the little hummingbird chirped for a while, Changning frowned, turned his head and asked Senior Sister Chen: "Senior Sister, is there anyone in our Qingxu Palace who has white hair?" ”

"Gray hair?" Senior Sister Chen and Senior Sister Tao looked at each other, they really didn't remember that someone in the Qingxu Palace was white-haired.

"Is it Chen and Tao's two nephews? I'm Mu Linyuan. A gentle and elegant male voice sounded from the depths of the spiritual veins.

"Uncle Mu!" The two exclaimed.

Big brother? Changning didn't expect that the people inside were actually the disciples of Master Canghong.

The exclamations of Chen and Tao made the strange leopard roar again, and the sharp claws of the forepaws were exposed, "Ah Chi, don't be rude!" Mu Linyuan scolded, and the strange leopard heard Mu Linyuan's voice, and obediently lay down and shook the five tails behind it.

"I didn't know that Uncle Shi was here, I missed the distance, I hope Uncle Shi forgives me!" Senior Sister Chen and Senior Sister Tao bowed down and saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, I was seriously injured and had to come to the spirit pool to heal, and I will leave in three days, I don't want to alarm you, and you don't need to wait here." The voice coming from the spiritual veins was calm, not hurried or slow, not at all like a seriously injured person. Changning secretly wondered if Senior Brother was about the same age as Senior Sister? Even Ah Weng is a fake white head, how can he have gray hair? Could it be because of the injury?

"Lin Yuan, are you injured?" Cangfeng Yuanjun's voice suddenly sounded.

"Master!" Changning shouted happily.

Cangfeng Yuanjun touched her little head lovingly.

Senior Sister Chen heard Changning call Cangfeng Yuanjun as her master, she was unbelievable at first, and then smiled bitterly, she actually gave the future junior uncle a horse, and Senior Sister Chen suddenly felt a sense of shamelessness in facing her teacher.

"Uncle Shi?" Mu Linyuan in the cave heard Cangfeng Yuanjun's voice and said in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

Cangfeng Yuanjun couldn't bear to talk nonsense with others, and pulled Changning into the depths of the spiritual vein, the cave wall in the depths of the spiritual vein was as warm as jade, and the whole body was crystal clear, a handsome and extraordinary white-haired man sat in the spiritual liquid pool, the pool was full of water, and the spiritual energy was dense, like a cloud of energy, which added a bit of Qinghua grace to the man, and when he saw the two entering, the man bowed slightly and saluted, "Uncle Shi, the disciple is inconvenient to move, and he is rude." ”

"How did you get hurt?" Cangfeng Yuanjun glanced at Mu Linyuan, his brows furrowed slightly.

"I met Xiao Zhan." Mu Linyuan lightly summed up a life-and-death battle into six characters, "He didn't take advantage either." He had no intention of mentioning this fight, and smiled at Chang Ning slightly: "Is this the little junior sister newly accepted by Uncle Shi?" Just now I was in retreat to heal my wounds, and Ah Chi protected me wholeheartedly, which disturbed my junior sister. If there is any offense, I hope that the junior sister will forgive me. ”

Changning shook his head, "Senior brother doesn't need to care. "Although Senior Brother Mu doesn't seem to have any external injuries, it can be seen that he is as white as snow, there is no trace of blood on his jade-like face, even his lips are faint, and his internal injuries are obviously extremely serious, but even so, he still smiles and feasts, solemn as the wind of Panasonic, clear and clear, and has an outstanding demeanor, he really deserves to be a true disciple of the same rank as Senior Sister! Thinking that she had also cultivated the Duo Treasure Technique, she secretly thought in her heart, she had to work harder, otherwise she would not be worthy of becoming a true disciple! She must not be inferior to her senior brothers and sisters in the future!
