Chapter 148: Xiyan Shi Becomes Zixiao Palace?
In the early morning of the second day, Tianyou, who woke up from the bed, stretched his waist, and his whole body immediately erupted into a crackling sound. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Damn, why did my whole body start to hurt after sleeping all night! Could it be that it is starting to develop again?" He got up early, but the sound of some people could already be heard outside, and it was obvious that there were people in Zixiao Palace who got up earlier than him.
After washing, I pushed the door and walked to the porch to look out. A handyman in the small courtyard downstairs was sweeping the floor, and there were people walking back and forth behind the courtyard wall not far away. The morning mist filled the courtyard and houses, covering everything with a hazy veil, and it really had a sense of immortal etherealism.
A few tall hills can be seen in the distance, but they are not real. At this time, the sun was still under the clouds, and the light was very dim.
"Senior Brother Tianyou got up so early?" The sudden voice woke up Tianyou, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Qingxu.
"Senior Brother Qingxu. "It has been confirmed that the selection is qualified, and Tianyou's senior brother is full of confidence.
"Originally, I would have waited until you all got up to tell you, but since you got up first, I told you the same first. Qingxu said and beckoned Tianyou to follow, and said as he walked downstairs: "The arrangement for the past two days is like this. There won't be anything going on today, you can move around freely, but if you want to go to other mountains, it's best to have a senior brother or immortal chief to lead the way. The boundary of my Zixiao Palace is very large, with 18 mountains and 36 peaks before and after, with a radius of thousands of miles, not only is it a problem of getting lost, but the key is that it is not easy to travel, and I can't go to a few places in a day. ”
Tianyou had heard that the area of Zixiao Palace was very large, but he didn't expect it to be so large. There are 18 mountains, 36 peaks, and this area must not be as large as several provinces? Such a large area is actually just a sect, how large-scale is this?
"Senior Brother Qingxu, is our Zixiao Palace so big, then how many people must be in our sect?"
When he heard this question, he laughed. "Hahahaha, you misunderstood. If you want to talk about the scope of this territory, this gate is indeed huge, and the number of people is also one of the best, but it is not as exaggerated as you think. Although there are 18 mountains and 36 peaks in this gate, most of them are majestic and steep, except for the mountains and forests are cliffs, and the real stations are all on the top of the mountains. No matter how big this mountain is, how much can the top of the mountain occupy? Therefore, although the boundary of this gate is nearly 10,000 miles, the real station area is not as exaggerated as you think. Of course, compared with the area of ordinary sects, there are still more than ten times. ”
"Nima, is the area more than ten times still small? It is not divided into so many mountains, and each station is indeed not very large. After complaining about the scale of Zixiao Palace, Tianyou asked again: "That realm is so big, how can the disciples in the sect go back and forth?"
"What's so hard about this?" Qingxu said, "Didn't you see our tools during the test?"
"Portals?"
"What is a portal?" Qingxu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted. "Oh, you said that the name you gave is also an image, but this formation is called the Dou Zhuan Star Shift, and it is set up in various courtyards, stations and functional places in this gate, and people who come and go only need to use this array. However, this array of teleportation requires a lot of spiritual power, so it needs to pay a fee to use, unless necessary, most disciples will still choose to walk, as for the immortal elders, most of them are high and high, but they don't need to turn the star shifting array. ”
Tianyou nodded and said, "In this way, if an ordinary disciple like you and I want to go back and forth between the two mountains, wouldn't it take more than half a day? If it is two mountains that are not adjacent, I'm afraid it will take half a month, right?"
"It's not that exaggerated. ”
Qingxu knew that Tianyou had just arrived and didn't understand many things, so he said, "If you want to listen, I can tell you specifics." ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you about it. The two had already walked to the garden at this time, and Qingxu directly took Tianyou to find a stone bench to sit down, and then began to explain. "Most of the immortal elders can control magic weapons such as flying swords, although the consumption is very large, but the movement within the sect is more than enough, the key is us disciples.
Some disciples have large flying demon pets that they can ride back and forth between mountain peaks.
If you don't have a large flying demon pet, you can also borrow some magic weapon props that can make people fly. If you don't have any, then you can only use the run. However, we are immortals, so we naturally have corresponding spells. Those with high strength can use 'Cloud Step' to walk directly in the air, even if the strength is not high, there are also relatively simple spells such as: 'Clear Wind Technique', 'Cloud Body Wind Body' and other simple spells can be used. With the blessing of spells, it is not difficult to travel between the mountains when you can walk like flying, one step at a time, and as fast as a galloping horse. ”
"What if someone like me doesn't know anything?"
"It's true that new disciples can only hike, but it doesn't really have much impact. Just joined the sect, the main thing is to concentrate on cultivation, the need for activities around is small, and the scope of activities of each sect is independent, basically you don't need to leave the assigned station mountain to complete all the cultivation, only after your strength reaches a certain level, you need to rely on completing the sect tasks to earn contribution points, you will need to travel frequently between the mountains. By then, you've learned at least one or two spells to speed up walking, so there's no need to worry too much.
Moreover, the immortal elders also knew that the area of the gate was too large, so there were lotus bridges between the main mountains to facilitate the passage of ordinary disciples. Even if you want to go to any mountain in this gate with your current ability, you can reach it in two days with the help of the Lotus Bridge. ”
"What is this lotus bridge?"
"I can't tell, I'll take you to see it. ”
As the face of Zixiao Palace, the welcome courtyard is naturally a mountain with more people, so it is not surprising that the lotus bridge is directly connected.
Under the leadership of Qingxu, the two soon arrived at the back of the welcome courtyard, which is also a mountain forest, but the area is not large, and after passing through, there is a cliff, but what Tianyou pays attention to is not the cliff, but the lotus platform that extends out of the cliff.
These pink or emerald green lotus platforms are all composed of light, and look as crystal clear. The lotus platform is more than six feet in diameter, but the edges are full of petals, and only a round lotus heart about four feet in the center can stand. The lotus platform is very close to each other, almost one by one, but because the petals cannot stand people, they still need to jump forward. Of course, such a span is similar to stepping a step for a cultivator, and there is no difficulty at all.
Tianyou found that these floating lotus platforms did not extend all the way to the top of the distant mountain, but only a few flowers existed on the edge of the cliff.
Of course, Tianyou was very curious, how could these lotus platforms be called lotus bridges alone, but Qingxu didn't explain, just let Tianyou stand up and try it.
With a hint of curiosity, Tianyou finally jumped on the edge of a lotus platform, although the translucent lotus platform is quite scary to look down from above, but Tianyou has long been accustomed to the excitement of extreme sports, and he has no fear of this height, nor is he worried about what will happen if he falls.
Qingxu obviously deliberately wanted to scare Tianyou, and did not remind him in advance that the lotus platform would sink, but the result was that Tianyou just stepped on it, and the lotus platform under his feet immediately sank down, so frightened that he quickly turned over and jumped back. Seeing Qingxu's smile, he knew that he was fooled, and Tianyou stubbornly jumped up again, this time he endured it and didn't jump back, and sure enough, the lotus platform only sank less than an inch to stabilize its position.
With the help of this lotus platform, Tianyou quickly walked out of the cliff range, and at this time he finally discovered the true meaning of the lotus bridge.
Although there are not many lotus platforms under his feet, as Tianyou continues to move forward, there will always be a foothold in front of him that needs to be taken a few steps behind, and the lotus platform that is a distance away after he walks through it will automatically disappear, that is to say, only where there are people, and the lotus platform within a certain range around it will emerge, and when people walk over, the lotus platform will naturally disappear. Of course, this lotus platform near the edge of the cliff is fixed, and it will not suddenly disappear just because there is no one.
Seeing that Tianyou had figured out the situation of the Lotus Bridge, Qingxu also walked over, stood beside Tianyou, and accompanied him to look at the magnificent scenery of the ground in the gap between the clouds below. "The first time you dared to stride here, you were the first one I've ever seen. ”
Fear of heights is a human instinct, especially in an environment like the Shenzhou Continent. Without tall buildings, airplanes, and Ferris wheels, most people may never have the opportunity to lift the ground from a high place in their lifetime. These people, who have been living on the ground, suddenly let him stand at a height of several thousand meters, crossing the clouds and looking down on the earth, especially the supporting lotus platform under his feet is still almost transparent, most people will be scared and unable to stand up.
In fact, what Qingxu said was polite, the first time to see the lotus bridge, let alone walk to this kind of place hundreds of meters away from the cliff, most people just stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down at it and never dared to go on the bridge again. And after the rest of the people step on the first lotus platform, more than half of them will also be scared back, in short, the people who can actually step into the lotus bridge and leave the cliff in the first few months are not too much to describe as one in a hundred.
Tianyou was also a little nervous when he first came up, but after all, he had played with hang gliding, jumped parachutes, rock climbing, and bungee jumping were commonplace, and his adaptability to altitude was far from being comparable to the natives of the Shenzhou Continent. After confirming that the lotus platform was stable, would not sway from side to side, and would not fall suddenly, his last bit of fear was all gone.
Qingxu did not urge Tianyou to go back immediately, but suddenly asked Tianyou if he wanted to do a short morning exercise. It is said that if you cultivate on this lotus bridge, your progress will be much higher than if you were sitting on the ground.
As soon as Tianyou heard this, he immediately asked Qingxu to teach him the method, and Qingxu proposed that this stubble was also intended to sell his favor, so it was natural to start guiding Tianyou to practice. It's just that after the real start, both of them were very surprised.
Tianyou didn't expect that the movements and rules of breathing taught to him by Qingxu would be exactly the same as what Xiyan taught him back then, and this discovery surprised him and didn't know what to say. On the other hand, Qingxu's side was also very surprised, because he had just taught a small half of the movements and found that Tianyou had started training by himself, not only did the movements be correct, but the posture was even more standard than him, as if he had been immersed in this way for many years.
In fact, Qingxu's idea is not wrong at all, because this set of actions and the method of spitting Tianyou have been practicing for 14 years, so it's strange if you are not familiar with it.
"Senior Brother Qingxu, what kind of cultivation method did you just teach me?"
"Senior brother, have you studied before?" Qingxu obviously guessed the reason why Tianyou was proficient.
Tianyou didn't hide anything, but he didn't elaborate, only said that he was an orphan, and his adoptive mother had taught this.
After hearing the emotion, he immediately made a sudden realization. "I see, that's not surprising. This set of exercises just now is the most basic body forging content of my Zixiao Palace's Zixiao Heart Method. Although it is the core heart method of this sect, the first forging chapter is actually not very important, and the effect is not as fast as the forging chapter of other sects, and outsiders do not care very much, so this sect does not restrict disciples from teaching these to the outside world. Most of your adoptive mother has studied somewhat, or maybe she is a disciple of this sect. ”
"I haven't heard her say that. Tianyou's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Xiyan to really have a lot to do with Zixiao Palace, but this kind of thing couldn't be discussed with Qingxu, he could only say a few perfunctory words to divert the topic, but fortunately, Qingxu didn't dwell on this issue more, so he was able to bring it over smoothly.
Although Qingxu's favor was not delivered, he still accompanied Tianyou to practice the content of the forging chapter twice on the bridge, and then walked to the welcoming courtyard with Tianyou. Qingxu asked Tianyou again if there was anyone he knew who could take him around and get acquainted with the environment, but Tianyou was a little embarrassed.
"There are a few acquaintances, but I don't know how to contact them!"
"Is there a name? It's better to know which sect it is, so it's easier to find some, and I'll help you ask." "Qingxu's previous favor was not sent, so I wanted to put some effort into this, anyway, it was just running errands.
Tianyou first thanked her, and then reported Yingying's name and sect. Qingxu agreed, saying that he would help ask after breakfast, but while the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air and crossed their heads, and as soon as they looked up, they found that a fiery red concubine with two female disciples floated from mid-air.
"Tianfei!" The sudden appearance of Tianfei startled Qingxu, and hurriedly saluted, this kind of big man is rarely seen.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Tianfei completely ignored Qingxu, simply waved her hand to say hello, and then walked straight towards Tianyou.
Although he knew the general intention of Concubine Tian, Tianyou still saluted very respectfully. Concubine Tian didn't say much after returning the salute, and went straight to the point: "Remember that you shouldn't have any arrangements today, I just happened to be idle, so I'll take you around and get a general idea of the style of this door." ”
Tianyou didn't believe that the sect master would have nothing to do, did this make it clear that he was here to grab the source of life. Of course, people are also a sect master, and they all condescend to take the initiative to show their favor like this, and it is not good for Tianyou to sweep people's face, otherwise it would be bad if this person was angry and changed to wear small shoes for him.
"Concubine Tian can take the disciple to familiarize himself with the environment of the sect, and the disciple naturally can't ask for it, but don't delay the sect master's business. ”
Hearing Tianyou agree, Tianfei's expression immediately warmed up by three points. "The sect master's chores are actually shared by the disciples, and I don't have much to do, so I just want to take you around for a while, and by the way, I will check the sect's chores, which can be regarded as a serious matter, and I will not delay. ”
Tianyou thanked him again, and then left with Tianfei.
Looking at the back of a few people leaving, Qingxu couldn't help but shake his head in the back: "I expected this to be extraordinary, but I didn't expect him to take the line of Tianfei, I should have worked harder." At this point, his expression suddenly changed, and his face became more joyful. "It's good that I finally got a good relationship, and I will always be a help in the future. After saying this, his face suddenly changed for the third time, from joy to sadness. "Hey, but the water can't quench the thirst of the near, how can ......I tell the master about the spirit plate last night! How could I be so unlucky!" (To be continued.) )
