Chapter 4 Guests
The next day, the early morning sunlight was projected through the gap between the two mountains in the distance, and the sky had just broken and the Xingyunfeng Square was already crowded.
"Cultivating along, talent is the most important, chance is indispensable, diligence is also necessary, the sun rises in the early morning, it is the most active time of the day, if you practice diligently at this time, you can get twice the result with half the effort. "A middle-aged man dressed in white is teaching a group of teenagers to cultivate, and there are as many as two or three hundred teenagers from the ten to eighteen years old of the Canglan Sect's Xingyun Peak who are suitable for cultivation.
The teenagers sat in a phalanx, their feet crossed on their knees, their hands on their knees, their eyes slightly closed, motionless as mountains, neatly aligned, inhaling and exhaling.
Next to the square, a young man sat cross-legged on a stone in the corner of Yanwu Square, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, like a Buddha statue, the morning sun shone on him, but could not shine into his heart.
Although he is only a teenager, the expression between his eyebrows has a trace of calmness and concentration that does not match his age, and this young man is Shen Xiao.
Every morning, he would come here to practice. Because he didn't have a spiritual root, he didn't want to cultivate with those sect disciples who wore colored glasses, so he found a quiet place to cultivate by himself, and the head of the cultivation method taught him very early.
Morning is the time of the day when the aura is at its strongest, and for five years, he has never given up, because he always believes in his heart that his efforts will bear fruit.
However, the phrase Heavenly Dao rewards diligence doesn't seem to be reflected in him, I don't know how many times it is, every time he breathes and exhales according to the method of cultivation, the aura gathered quickly disappears in the dantian, and his body can't accumulate any aura at all
"Fuck your uncle, why can't you?"
Shen Xiao smashed his fist on the stone angrily, bright red blood oozed from his fist, only severe pain can relieve the depression and pain in his heart, is he destined to be a waste person in this life?
It took a long time to calm down his frustration, he had no way out, if he gave up, he would be a waste man for the rest of his life!
As usual, calm down and continue to condense the aura, about a pillar of incense, there is a slight sense of qi in the dantian, but it is extremely subtle, and it will pass away at any time.
Shen Xiao worked hard, a trace of sweat oozed from his forehead, and finally, those qi sensations slowly condensed into a trickle, centered on the sea of qi in the lower abdomen, surging upward, but every time he moved a short distance, these spiritual qi would lose a few points, and he was about to be lost.
There must be no failure!
The aura that had finally been condensed was about to collapse, Shen Xiao seemed to feel some kind of strange calling, his heart suddenly calmed down, and he entered a strange realm, as if there was a wisp of wind blowing in his heart, the sky was clear and clear, and there was not a trace of dust.
Shen Xiao had the appearance of a lotus flower in his mind, crystal clear, as white as snow, shining silver, and suddenly emitting a strange fragrance.
This lotus flower contains some kind of strange power, which makes Shen Xiao want to find out.
Shen Xiao desperately extended his thoughts, wanting to touch the lotus flower, wanting to see if he could attract the lotus.
Suddenly, there was a loud buzz in his mind, Shen Xiao's eardrums kept trembling, as if something was exploding in his mind, a terrifying and majestic power poured out from the lotus, like a raging flood, rushing in his meridians, Shen Xiao felt that he had an incomparably powerful power, this power seemed to be able to support him, he already felt that he was about to explode, and wanted to stop, but he knew how to control it, suddenly, "Bang" With a sound, a sharp pain came from the bottom of his heart, all his meridians were destroyed, Shen Xiao was already numb from pain, and he couldn't even scream, and the aura that had finally been condensed was instantly dispersed, which was not important, the key to his meridians was all shattered.
"This time it's really a waste"
In his consciousness, Shen Xiao didn't care about the complete destruction of his meridians, he couldn't cultivate anyway, what difference did it make if he didn't destroy it?
He was horrified to find that this power was completely out of control, and he quickly withdrew his thoughts, and the power disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed.
"What the hell is going on?"
Shen Xiao opened his eyes, his body was collapsed, he didn't have any strength, he gasped heavily, checked his body, and the meridians were really all broken. So what I saw just now is that the lotus flower is real, and that power is also real?
The lotus flower hovered quietly in his mind, the power just now was somewhat similar to the aura, but it seemed to be more powerful, and it felt mysterious.
Shen Xiao suddenly felt some itching on his hands, looked down, he was surprised to find that the skin of his hands was covered with a thin layer of gray dander, dusting off those dandruffs, he found that his hands were like being reborn, crystal clear, bright red and pink, like a newborn baby.
"What does that mean?"
"Even if you destroy my meridians, you still on my skin"
Shen Xiao teased in his heart, he couldn't help but feel slightly, this lotus flower is really magical, he really wants to continue to explore it in depth, but after thinking about it, he still waits for the dead of night to talk.
Just as he was in a daze, a crisp voice rang in Shen Xiao's ears, pulling Ye Chen back to reality.
"Hey, what are you thinking? There was a hint of playfulness in his voice.
Shen Xiao turned his head, and a beautiful face appeared in front of his eyes, looking at Shen Xiao with a smile, she was wearing a light green dress, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, her appearance was beautiful, her skin was as bright as jade, like a touch of clear ice and snow. A faint fragrance of a girl came, which made people feel refreshed.
Seeing the girl in front of him, a faint pity rose in Shen Xiao's heart: "Why did you come here?"
"Senior brother, aren't you welcome me?" the girl smiled.
"I didn't say that, it's just that I rarely see you come to the martial arts arena. Shen Xiao forbidden, Zhiruo's little sister is the only one he can speak freely without barriers.
"It's been five years in the blink of an eye. The little junior sister's voice said softly, there was an indescribable sentimentality, her gaze fell on Shen Xiao's cheeks, the once high-spirited young man, but the edges and corners were smoothed by the years and setbacks.
"yes, it's been five years. Shen Xiao showed a self-deprecating wry smile again, no one knew how he had come over in the past five years.
"By the way, I almost forgot, didn't Master say that there were guests coming, let's go to the hall quickly, otherwise Master will be angry again"
"Okay"
With that, the two of them wanted to go to the hall.
――――――――――
Shen Xiao took Zhiruo's little sister through the backyard, and finally stopped outside the solemn welcome hall, there were already many people inside, and it seemed that the guests had arrived.
"Master," Shen shouted with a smile.
Asking, all eyes focused on him, he suddenly appeared, and someone couldn't help but use some means, wanting to get a glimpse of his family.
Shen Xiao suddenly felt as if he was being spied on, and he was exposed to broad daylight.
"It turned out to be a waste without a spiritual root and unable to cultivate," someone spoke up.
"Not only that, but he also has all the meridians, and the Canglan Sect even wants this kind of waste"
"Hmph!" the Silent Master snorted coldly, and his powerful spiritual power was released, and those few eyes were retracted.
Shen Xiao suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, without the feeling of discomfort before, at this time he realized that someone was peeking at him with his mental power just now, and he couldn't help but feel sad, this is strength!.
Baili silently signaled the two to enter and exit, and the two entered the hall and sat down in their positions.
The hall is very spacious, and there are a lot of people in it, and the few people sitting at the top are the Silent Master and the three old men with indifferent faces, they are all elders of the Canglan Sect, and the general situation is that they are in the retreat of the Canglan Sect's Yunfeng Heavenly Spirit Secret Room, and they will not come out, but this time there are actually three of them, and it seems that today's guests are not small.
Under the left hand of the four of them, there were some elders in the sect who had the right to speak and were not weak, and beside them, there were also some young people who had outstanding performance in the family, such as Murong Chuchen.
On the other side, there were four strangers, presumably the distinguished guests who had been silently spoken of last night.
Some puzzled eyes swept over the strange four people, among the four people, there were three old men in purple robes, the three old men were all smiling, full of energy, three pairs of small eyes, but they were shining, thinking that the strength must not be weak.
Among the three old men, there is a young man, wearing a white robe, wearing a white jade waist, wearing a crown of xia, holding a folding fan, and his expression reveals a smell of fireworks that do not eat the world.
In short, in terms of appearance alone, the boy can be called perfect.
At this time, the young man's eyes were sweeping over the little junior sister beside Shen Xiao intentionally or unintentionally, this action was not noticed by many people, but Shen Xiao saw it very clearly.
In the hall, the Silent Venerable Master and the three elders were talking to several strange old men, all of whom were talking about the shortcomings of their parents and lamenting their lives......
After listening to it for a while, Shen Xiao shook his head a little boredly...
"Senior brother, do you know their identities?" Just when Shen Xiao was so bored that she wanted to doze off, the little junior sister beside her fiddled with her fingers boredly and smiled.
"You know?" Turning his head curiously, Shen Xiao asked in surprise, he had never been out of the Canglan Sect, and he didn't know who it was.
"Do you see their purple robes?" said with a slight smile.
"Oh?" Shen Xiao glanced at it, and didn't feel anything, "What's there?"
"They are the people of the Divine Monarch Palace," Zhiruo's junior sister said in a low voice.
Shen Xiao immediately understood that although he had not gone out to practice, he had read about this sect in some books, which was a great sect with a history of thousands of years like the Canglan Sect.
"What are they doing in the sect?" Shen Xiao asked in a low voice with some confusion.
The slender fingertips that moved paused slightly, and the little junior sister shook it, but she didn't know.
"Do you know what the boy's name is?" the little junior sister glanced at the boy opposite.
"What?" frowned, and Shen Xiao asked.
The little junior sister of "Yuntian" had a little strange meaning on her face, and she glanced at her body a little stiffly.
"Yuntian, what is it?" Shen Xiao said with a playful smile on his face, a sharp light shot at him, Shen Xiao looked at it, a haze flashed next to the handsome face of the young man opposite, Shen Xiao was puzzled, was such a small voice heard?
Suddenly, an old man on the other side laughed loudly: "Silent, presumably that is the child back then, time flies really fast, the babies of the year have grown up"
When he spoke, he looked at Shen Xiao, and his eyes were quite strange, which made people puzzled.
Baili smiled silently: "Yes"
"Then I wonder if you still remember the agreement with my monarch," the old man continued.
At this point, the hall suddenly fell silent, and it was so quiet that it was depressing.
The Silent Master tugged at his beard, suddenly smiled, and said, "Remember, why don't you remember, it's just me...... Hey"
The old man suddenly frowned: "Is there anything unspeakable about the head of Baili?"
"Can we cancel that agreement?" Baili's silent voice was a little weak, and he seemed to have no confidence.
The old man said calmly, "What does the Silent Venerable Master mean by this?" He even changed his name to a strange name, and it seemed that what he said was a bit serious!
"It's just that my apprentice, you have also seen it, you can't cultivate at all, how can you compete with Yun Gongzi" Baili said silently and helplessly.
When Shen Xiao heard this, he already knew that this matter had something to do with him, and because he couldn't cultivate, he embarrassed the master, no spiritual root was really deadly, and the master had to suffer with himself, Shen Xiao clenched his fists.
The old man smiled and said: "We don't care about this, we agreed back then, and the disciples of the two parties will compete to determine the status of the Divine Monarch Hall and the Canglan Sect."
"Isn't it time yet?, what are you anxious about?" said an elder of the Canglan Sect who was sitting below, rather unhappily.
"We're just here to remind you, don't forget," the old man said indifferently.
"In that case, it's time to wait for the Tao."
"Okay, I hope you will go to the appointment on time, then we will leave first"
"Don't send it!"
With that, the four of the Divine Monarch Sect angrily left the Canglan Sect.
