Chapter 72
It was night, and the square of the "Golden Flame Palace" was full of guests and friends, and the lights were brilliant.
Although he has tried his best to narrow down the scope of the celebration, only Tianhuo Peak, the three generations of disciples below Tianxin alone have already exceeded a hundred. Although they are both brothers, they are all perennial cultivators, and it is easy not to see each other once.
Taking advantage of this opportunity for the peak master to accept apprentices, they just exchanged feelings with each other. Some of the quick-witted junior disciples even got the opportunity to show off in front of their seniors, and they did their best to meet the talents.
More than a dozen tables of banquets were spread out in the square, and Shan Tianxin even took out the spirit wine that had been treasured for hundreds of years. Some female disciples even sang and danced to boost the atmosphere.
But after all, Shan Tianxin was a senior master, and only symbolically said a few toasts, and after tasting a drink, he went back to the side room to rest, and only said that I would wait to have fun.
The rest of the people who watched the ceremony in the four peaks, seeing that Shan Tianxin had withdrawn, their own family also symbolically said some congratulatory words to me, and after a glass of wine, they drove away.
However, these senior brothers and sisters in the peak, as well as the people of the junior nephews, toasted constantly, and I was tired of coping with it in a moment. Although the spirit wine is excellent, I obviously feel that the vitality in my body has a tendency to thicken, but the sense of drowsiness is getting stronger, and I can't show my ugliness at this time.
In desperation, I had to urge my soul and cheer up, so I could barely cope with it.
It was Li Yiyang's turn to toast, and the kid muttered for a long time, and finally called "Uncle Zhang" in a voice the size of a mosquito, with a funny demeanor, almost making me squirt out a sip of wine. hated his teacher, the Lotus monk, and almost kicked him with his beautiful feet.
I hurriedly explained that we were good brothers in private, and we were used to it casually, so Senior Sister Lotus gave up.
Yu Jianhong was a square person, abided by the rules, and respectfully called "Uncle Zhang" when he toasted me. I know that this title is mostly a sign of gratitude and recognition to me, but since then, I am afraid that the brotherhood of the past can no longer transcend the superiority and inferiority.
I still want to help him, after all, Yu Jianhong is really a person similar to me. is also not highly qualified, no background, but has a heart for the Tao.
I grabbed Yu Jianhong and praised his teacher, the Dragon Fire Daoist. In the end, Yu Jianhong blushed a little and kept pulling my clothes.
The Dragon Fire Dao people were very surprised, but when they saw my enthusiasm, they also understood. Immediately said that he received Yu Jianhong as a personal disciple, and he could listen to the sermon by his side in the future. Yu Jianhong was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked me, and cast a grateful look at me.
This feast did not end until the third watch, and there were female disciples who cleaned up. After I saw off all the senior brothers and sisters, I dragged my tired body back to the ear chamber.
Since arriving in this world, I have always been cautious, step by step, and it is commendable to relax like today. In particular, although the disciples have the element of welcoming guests, they are still brothers and sisters on the whole, and they are harmonious.
I thought to myself, people are yearning for beauty, at least at this moment, I want to believe that everyone is sincere to each other, there is no competition of interests with each other, there is no intrigue.
I burped, climbed onto the bed in the ear chamber, stuck my head, and fell asleep.
The next morning, I woke up and blamed myself for the absurdity of yesterday. The road is far away, and there is still no room for slackness.
After washing up a little, I washed off the smell of wine, and came to the room where Shan Tianxin lived early.
Shan Tianxin teased: "Mo Fan, you can't drink well, it's much worse than your senior brothers and sisters." ”
I was amazed and said, "The disciple's cultivation is inferior, how can he compare with the senior brothers?"
Shan Tianxin said: "Now that you have laid the foundation, it can be seen that you are extremely diligent in your ordinary practice, and over time, you may not be able to surpass your predecessors." Having said that, according to the rules of the sect, all the foundation building monks can choose their own spiritual mountains to open up caves, and it is not appropriate for you to stay here with me anymore. Your senior brother An Chan is in charge of the distribution of Lingshan, and I have already said hello to that place, you can go to him later to choose, and you will be satisfied. ”
I am very happy in my heart, always in the Golden Flame Palace, although I am guarding the heart of Shan Tian, I have the convenience of being close to the water. But the companion is like a tiger, usually too many taboos, not his own one-third of an acre, after all, there is less pleasure and casualness.
Shan Tianxin said again: "Since you are a true legend and have a prominent status, remember to set an example for the disciples of the sect every day, and you must not bully the weak and be arrogant." Moreover, I don't know if you have chosen the foundation building method, Zufeng's "Daojing Pavilion" has the core Taoist scriptures of my sect, and the true transmission disciples can observe the Dharma once every ten years, borrow a volume, and you can go to choose it later with the true transmission token. ”
I was overjoyed again, I really wanted to fall asleep and someone would send me a pillow, I was worried that I didn't have a suitable practice after building the foundation, and this time it was a godsend.
After asking the location of Ming'an Cicada Cave Mansion, I repeatedly thanked Shan Tianxin, and then I left the Golden Flame Palace.
At the moment, the first priority should be to choose a place to cultivate, settle down first, and then make other plans. Therefore, I summoned the flying boat and rushed to the Ancia Cave Mansion without stopping.
The Cicada Cave Mansion is more than 10,000 miles north of Tianhuo Peak, and that place is also an earth-fire heavenly furnace, called "Scorching Fire Peak", but it is much smaller than the main peak of Tianhuo Peak. Occasionally forging some magic weapons is acceptable, if it is a magic weapon, the firepower is a little insufficient, and there are few treasures in the magic weapon refined.
However, that place was extremely abundant in fire vitality, and it was only slightly inferior to Heavenly Fire Peak, so it was also a good place to cultivate.
I drove the take-off boat, and only half an hour arrived at the "Scorching Fire Peak", this mountain peak is only more than 1,000 zhang high, but there are at least a dozen mountains, endless. But the firepower was abundant but not concentrated, and the entire area was as red as the eye could see, like purgatory.
I was in the air, and my mouth was dry, so I had to use the water method to protect my body, which meant that I felt a little cooler.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, there was already a faint light in the distance in the blink of an eye, red clothes and white eyebrows, who is not An Cicada?
"Haha, little junior brother, I expected you to come to look for me, I have been waiting here for a long time!" An Chan was very polite when he met.
I said abruptly: "Let the senior brother smile, the younger brother Si is usually disturbing in front of the master's seat, and it is not the disciple who should do it, so I have to beg for shame." ”
An Chan waved his hand and said, "Where the junior brother says, it's just a matter of raising his hands." And follow me to the cave and talk about it. ”
I put away the boat and followed An Cicada to Deqidong Mansion, and saw that the house was clean and tidy, with only a few children serving on the side.
Sit down, pour tea, and chat. An cicada unfolds a huge picture scroll, with peaks and peaks on it, one after another, the colors are golden, green, blue, red and yellow, and the colors are mixed, but the banners are dense on it.
An Cicada said: "Little junior brother, this picture scroll is the range of my Tianhuo Peak, and the five colors correspond to the five vitality attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the natural color shade also represents the intensity of the vitality there. Wherever there is a pennant in the scroll, it is a place that has already been occupied. The blank space can be chosen by the junior and the disciple. ”
I looked at the scroll for a long time, and my mind was rolling.
In terms of my five-attribute spiritual root qualifications, all attributes can be cultivated. But I have already made up my mind that I want to be a fellow practitioner of the five lines in the future. In this way, this cultivation place really needs to be well planned.
I carefully discerned the colors in the scroll, encompassing as many Yuan Qi attributes as possible, while avoiding the position marked with the pennant.
After carefully observing it several times, I suddenly found a place that was quite satisfactory. So he pointed to the inconspicuous position in the lower left corner of the scroll and asked An Chan: "Senior brother, how is this place?"
"This, isn't this Fengyue Lake?
I wondered, "What, what's wrong with this?"
An Cicada explained: "This location is the intersection of my Tianhuo Peak, Jinrui Peak and Shuimiao Peak, called Fengyue Lake. The view is excellent. But as a place of cultivation ... ”
Seeing that An Cicada wanted to speak and stopped, I said nervously: "What's wrong, senior brother, just come." ”
An Chan had to say: "Although this location is beautiful, but the vitality attributes are mixed, the water source comes from the main peak of the Shuimiao Peak in Hubei, so the water vitality is very abundant; there is a small gold mine mountain range in the west of the lake, and the spirit of Jin Rui is also very strong; there is a volcanic group that stretches for more than 100 miles in the southwest position, and the fireworks are continuous all year round, and the fire vitality is needless to say; the position in the east is the highest peak in this area, called "Yingri Peak", and it can be regarded as a number of peaks within the scope of my Tianhuo Peak. Senior brother, how can you get to such an area with mixed attributes, and how can I explain to my master?"
I laughed and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, senior brother doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I'll choose this place." My qualifications are extremely poor, and my attributes are mixed, but my heart is higher than the sky, and I want to try the path of initiates. This place is exactly what I want, it's just for me. ”
An Chan was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "What, most of them belong to fellow practitioners? Senior disciples must think twice, you must know that my generation of monks seems to have a long lifespan, but on the way to seek the Tao, it is also fleeting in the blink of an eye. I have always regretted that when I was young, I was so distracted that I neglected my practice. The junior brother is still young, don't go astray!"
Hearing An Cicada's heartfelt persuasion, my heart warmed. Although I have only been a senior brother for one day, this white-eyed old man really takes care of me as a junior brother. But how can I tell him my heart thoroughly?
At the moment, he resolutely said: "Senior brother doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I have already decided to choose this place, and I hope that the senior brother will definitely succeed! As for the master's place, if my junior brother goes to explain, I will definitely not blame the senior brother." ”
Seeing that I was so resolute, An Chan had no choice but to shake her head helplessly, and then looked at the area I had chosen, and groaned secretly.
After a long time, An Chan said: "Senior brother, it is said that the place where a disciple chooses to cultivate during the foundation building period cannot exceed a radius of five hundred miles at most. But this Fengyue Lake occupies an area of hundreds of miles, and it would be too wronged to assign this place to the junior brother. Since the junior brother insisted on choosing this place, the senior brother and I will make our own opinions, and then expand the scope to the area of 500 miles, which should be a little compensation for the junior brother. ”
I was happy in my heart, and there were such good things, but my face did not show it, I only said: "Senior brother, isn't this good, won't it cause people to gossip?"
An Chan sneered and said: "Joke, you and I belong to the same line as the peak master, in this Heavenly Fire Peak, who dares to put a beak? Besides, since I am in charge of the distribution of Spirit Mountain, don't I take care of my own family, but also take care of outsiders?"
When I saw him say this, I had no choice but to laugh and say no more.
After coming down, An Cicada moved the "Yingri Peak" to the east for another 500 miles, and assigned me all the areas that should have been the cultivation of two people. After that, he gave me a storage bag and told me that it was a simple formation inside, which was used to mark the ownership of the area and prevent people from breaking into it by mistake. As for the formation of the array, I will do it myself.
I thanked him again and again, and as I was leaving, I quietly placed a storage bag in the corner of his table, and two pieces of fiery jade were placed inside. I also practice fire exercises, and these two pieces of fire jade are exactly what he likes, and they can be regarded as repaying him for his kind actions.
Saying goodbye to the cicada, I took off the boat and hurried to the area where I belonged, and there was inevitably some excitement on the way. After all, that place will be my private cultivation place in the future.
After taking a turn along the divided cultivation area, I found that, as An Chan said, the attributes of metal, water, fire, and earth were relatively abundant. The only deficiency is that the wood vitality is relatively thin, and it seems that it will have to be supplemented with yuan crystals in the future.
After I was satisfied, I didn't stop, and along the outer edge of the area, I threw down a formation flag every dozens of miles. After a lap, the set of array flags handed to me by An Chan was just enough. I took out the control array disk, and after casting the spell, the array flags were linked to each other, and the formation was activated. In the future, if anyone trespasses, I will be the first to know.
However, this set of formations is only a simple formation for warning, and there is no defense at all, even during the Qi training period, it can be easily dismantled. It seems that after the placement is completed, we should find a way to buy a set of high-level formations. However, the high-level formation is often sky-high, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve in the short term, so I have to slowly figure it out.
After the formation was completed, I drove the boat straight to the "Yingri Peak" in the east of the lake, because that high place is the best place to place the cave.
After a while, we reached the east shore of the lake, and not long after, a majestic mountain peak was already full of eyes.
Busy for a long time, at this moment is the sunset slanting, the afterglow is sprinkled on the "Yingri Peak", lush, the mountains and trees are plated with a layer of gold, I don't want the "Yingri Peak" on the scenery of the sun is so charming.
Going forward further, a strange and pure wood vitality suddenly rushed to his face in the induction. I wonder in my heart, even if the mountains are full of trees, there shouldn't be such a pure wood vitality.
After identifying the direction, I followed that trace of vitality back to the source. After a long circle around the peak, I finally found the root.
I saw that on the cliff on the south side of the "Yingri Peak", about 100 zhang high from the peak, there is a huge platform, the appearance does not look man-made, it should be formed by years of wind and snow erosion. The platform is full of potholes, and there are several cliff crevices in several places, no matter how you look at it, it is a dangerous place.
But on the side of this platform, there is an incomparably huge peach tree, with lush branches and leaves, covering the distance of miles and the sun, and the roots are entangled, so that the root system is at least more than 100 zhang. Endless pure wood vitality continued to emanate from the torso and then drift into the air.
"What a fairy tree!" I couldn't help but exclaim as I looked at the peach blossoms on the tree.
