CHAPTER XXIII
Yuying Zhenren's words about accepting him as a disciple are of course nonsense made up by Yi Xichen. Although he hated Xiao Kui very much, he didn't risk going crazy in order to win him in the sword competition, he couldn't be taken again, so he deliberately made up words to stimulate Xiao Kui, messing with his mood first, and winning opportunities for himself.
When Yi Xichen arrived at the Fengqi Palace, Yuying Zhenren was already sitting in the main hall waiting for him.
"Disciples, see the master."
Yi Xichen respectfully saluted Yuying Zhenren. He is always neither big nor small in the face of non-poisonous, and he can pretend to be well-behaved in the face of outsiders.
"Boy, come here, let me see you."
Yi Xichen was confused and walked forward obediently.
Yuying Zhenren looked at Yi Xichen silently for a moment, and pointed her finger to his forehead. Yi Xichen was startled, hesitated and did not open his sea of knowledge. Even if the other party is the leader, he still doesn't trust it.
Fortunately, Yuying Zhenren didn't want to break into his sea of knowledge, but just felt his breath and withdrew his fingers.
"Child, you are not a pseudo-spiritual root, but a mutated spiritual root that is rare in a hundred years. It was me and the elders who had been eye-to-eye. ”
Yi Xichen hurriedly said: "It's my peculiar physique, and it's natural that the head can't see it." Even I recently found out. ”
Yuying Zhenren bowed: "Your physique is indeed very special, there is a strong force that seals your muscles and veins, so that you can only play one-twelfth." It's a pity that such a good seedling has been delayed for so many years. ”
"It's not a pity, it's not a pity." Yi Xichen smiled and said, "Since it is sealed, one day I will be able to break the seal, and it will not be too late." ”
"Oh?" Yuying is truly humane, "Do you already know how to break the seal in your body?" ”
Yi Xichen hesitated for a moment and replied vaguely: "There is always a way." ”
He had already discussed with his eldest grandson Jun, and when they reached their age, they would be able to go out of the mountain to practice, so they would go together to find the five heavenly and earthly treasures, and then try the method of refining the body. He didn't tell the truth to Yuying Zhenren, because he couldn't explain how the eldest grandson Jun knew these things.
Yuying is truly humane: "I know a way, and I may be able to break the seal in your body." Child, would you like to be my disciple? ”
Yi Xichen was stunned for a moment. He heard him right, right? Yuying Zhenren, said that he wanted to accept him as a disciple? Oh my God, is this real?! He was completely casual nonsense just now, is this a practice of the art of words and spirits!!
Seeing that Yi Xichen didn't speak for a long time, Yuying Zhenren asked again, "You don't want to?" ”
"Uh......"
Yi Xichen only cared about the shock, whether he wanted it or not, he didn't think about it. This fact is too strange, hundreds of people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, all of them know that Yuying Zhenren is a sword idiot who only knows swords, and even when the affairs within the sect are not until he has to come forward, he will all hand them over to several other elders. But right now, Yuying Zhenren seems to have changed her character.
Yi Xichen asked, "Why?" ”
Yuying Zhenren was obviously stunned, obviously not expecting Yi Xichen to dare to ask questions to him, the head of the house. He frowned slightly, as if he had never thought about this question, and thought for a moment before saying, "I have been cultivating for more than two hundred years, and I have never seen a mutated spirit root like you. Although I have a vain name, I am the head of a faction after all, and if I guide you, I may be able to make up for your shortcomings over the years. ”
So...... Is this love?
What is happening now, if Yi Xichen is made to think about it, he must think that he will agree without hesitation. After all, as a disciple of the head of the house, the spirit stone immortal material does not have to worry. But now that it really happened, he hesitated. Although he worshiped the master, he would not turn his back on the medicine and not poison, but he was always uncomfortable. For him and his eldest grandson, Jun, the medicine is not only a teacher, but also a father.
Yuying Zhenren said again: "If you want to unlock the seal in your body, I'm afraid you need a few heavenly treasures, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will find a way for you." ”
Yi Xichen was even more moved. It must be difficult for him and the eldest grandson Jun to find those few immortal materials. It would be much easier if there was a real person in Yuying to help.
However, he still said, "Master, can you allow the disciple to go back and think about this matter for two days?" Although he already has intentions, even if he wants to agree, he must first listen to the opinion of the eldest grandson, and get the approval that the medicine is not poisonous. If the eldest grandson Jun and the medicine are not poisonous and disagree, then forget it.
Yuying Zhenren didn't expect Yi Xichen to agree, but he didn't force it, but said: "Naturally, you can, you can go back and forth to me after you think about it." Even if you refuse to worship me as a teacher, I will also find a way to help you unlock the seal on your body, after all, you are a disciple of my Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
After getting this promise, Yi Xichen immediately rejoiced, hurriedly saluted Yuying Zhenren again, and retired.
Out of the Fengqi Palace, Yi Xichen was in a very good mood, humming a minor tune all the way back. He hadn't gone far when he saw the grass on the side of the road move. Yi Xichen stopped and stared at the place suspiciously, and after a while, the grass moved again, and there seemed to be something inside.
On this day, there are some golden toads growing on Sword Mountain, and the saliva of the golden toads can be used for alchemy. People can often see the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion kneeling in the grass with their butts pouting, just looking for the golden toad. Sometimes the disciples of other pavilions will also help catch the golden toad together, and if they catch one, they can only exchange it for two primary spirit stones. The golden toads have been caught a lot, and the golden toads have learned to drill in hard-to-find places, so their prices have risen recently.
Yi Xichen suddenly became interested. Although he didn't have a place to use the golden toad recently, it was good to catch it back and exchange it for some spirit stones. Today must be an auspicious day for the zodiac, and all the good things that come with it are good!
Yi Xichen tiptoed close to the grass, and when he reached the distance, he took a deep breath and was ready to pounce!
Suddenly, the grass moved again, and a large gray and round stone spontaneously rolled out of the grass.
Yi Xichen was stunned: "This ...... What kind of stone is this? ”
The "stone" was dissatisfied with being called a stone, and rolled in the direction where Yi Xichen was, hitting his toes.
"Huh?" Yi Xichen bent down and hugged the "stone", "This is ...... Egg? ”
It was indeed a gray egg, the size of a man's head. It was picked up by Yi Xichen and rolled around restlessly.
Obviously, this egg was a demon beast that was about to break out of its shell, but strangely, Yi Xichen didn't feel any demonic energy from it. He held the egg and looked at it for a moment, not recognizable what kind of monster's egg would look like this.
"Which elder's spirit beast are you, right?" Yi Xichen put it back in the grass, "Hurry back, the elder won't find you in a while, you should be in a hurry." ”
No beast dared to lay eggs on Heavenly Sword Mountain, this must have been raised by the people in the Heavenly Sword Gate. If there is no demonic energy, it is a spirit animal. The innate spirit beast is an extremely rare treasure, and when placed in a monk, it can almost be regarded as a heavenly spirit root. The disciples would definitely not be able to afford such a rare treasure, so they would only be the elders' pets.
Yi Xichen took a step to leave, and the gray egg rolled over and stuck behind him, looking very fond of him.
Yi Xichen licked it with his hand funny: "Go back, go back, go back." I'm a disciple of the Medicine Pavilion, if you don't leave, I'll take you to alchemy! ”
The gray egg spun around the ground in exasperation, and after a few moments, Gollum rolled back into the grass.
Driving away the spirit beast egg, Yi Xichen continued to hum a minor tune and walked towards the disciple's room, and soon passed by the Shennong Palace. He didn't know that in the grass next to the Shennong Palace, there was also a living creature hiding there, waiting for him - Xiao Kui.
After Yi Xichen was summoned away by the master, everyone dispersed, but Xiao Kui did not leave. After thinking about it, he decided to squat here and ambush Yi Xichen. The so-called ambush is not that he wants to fight with Yi Xichen here, after all, this is against the rules of the door, and he doesn't want to be expelled from the Heavenly Sword Gate because of this trivial matter. He had another terrible idea.
Here it comes! Seeing Yi Xichen coming over from a distance, Xiao Kui immediately held his breath and pinched the prepared things in his hands.
Yi Xichen didn't find him, Yi Xichen walked over, and the opportunity came!
Xiao Kui pinched a small black worm on his fingertips and flicked it towards Yi Xichen's back, only to see that the little black worm silently drew an arc in the air and landed on Yi Xichen's shoulder.
It's done! Xiao Kui clenched his fists excitedly.
It was a listening bug. He was worried that Yi Xichen was really accepted as a disciple by Yuying Zhenren, and he was worried that Yi Xichen would really be taken away again, and he also suspected that Yi Xichen was telling him, so he decided to use this listening insect to find out the truth for him. Although this is a villain's act, he Xiao Kui is not an upright person, and he has made even more shady moves. Now he only hopes to find out the truth so that he can prepare for tomorrow's competition. Lost to Yi Xichen? Then it is better to let him die!
And Yi Xichen didn't realize that he had been installed with a listening bug on his body, and swaggered back humming a minor tune.
