Chapter 2: Return to the Wall
The white clouds are like cotton. Scrolls of them are like waves, hugging there like mountain peaks connected.
He Yiming raised his head and looked at the boundless clouds, his heart was as unpredictable as this endless cloud.
With his strength, it is naturally impossible to be afraid of the Yokoyama Ichina at this moment. After all, even the only remaining elder on Hengshan Mountain was defeated at his hands, let alone anyone else.
It's just that the object of this fight made him feel extremely embarrassed, and it turned out that this person turned out to be a medicine man.
Disturbing his scalp, he sighed in his heart, took the initiative to step forward, put on a full shirt behind He Wude, landed on his knees, and bowed respectfully: "He Yiming greets the Taishi Ancestor." ”
Not to mention anything else, just because his old man adopted He Wude, who was an orphan, and taught martial arts, this kindness alone was enough to make He Yiming embarrassed.
Therefore, when this head He Yiming knocked down, he was absolutely wholeheartedly. There was no reluctance.
The figure of the medicine Taoist man flashed, and a pair of hands were already on his arm, and he smiled: "Get up, get up, you are the child of Wude?"
After seeing He Yiming kneeling down with He Wude, the medicine Taoist immediately guessed his origin, but after guessing, his heart was surprised and happy, if it weren't for the fact that it was right in front of him, and he had personally fought with He Yiming, knowing the unfathomable super strength of this young man, otherwise he would never believe that in this world, there was really such a powerful, such a young innate powerhouse.
He Wude hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, Yiming is the grandson of the disciple. He paused, his chest straightened slightly, and said, "This kid has been extremely talented since he was a child, he is a genius in cultivation, and he is the greatest pride in the lineage of disciples. ”
He Yiming stood up following the gesture of the medicine man, and at this moment, the momentum on his body had all been reined, and he stood calmly beside the medicine man. In the eyes of those who don't know, this is just an ordinary young man, where can he be associated with an innate powerhouse.
The medicine man's eyes flashed with brilliance, but He Yiming's heart gradually settled down.
Since the adventure at the bottom of the lake, He Yiming has been quite sensitive to the emotional reactions of others. Just like at this moment, although he had fought the medicine dao man once. He almost wounded him. But at this moment, he couldn't sense the slightest malice in the medicine man.
He Yiming let go of his thoughts, he was sure that the medicine Taoist did not blame him, but rather admired him.
Although the reaction was somewhat unexpected to him, it was always a good thing.
The medicine man looked at He Yiming carefully, he nodded slowly, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Child, which sect did you worship to learn martial arts? Being able to give you two innate golden pills is a great hope for you." ”
He Yiming was slightly stunned, in fact, in his heart, it was also weird.
The other people present had been with the medicine man for a long time, and they were already accustomed to his face, which did not match his real age.
But it was the first time He Yiming had met such a strange person, an old man who was said to be almost 150 years old, and he would have the face of a young man in his twenties. And he is still talking to you with a demeanor and tone that the elders care about the juniors, and this feeling is really hard to adapt to.
It's just that under the gaze of Yao Dao and so many people present, no matter what weirdness He Yiming had in his heart, he couldn't show it.
He bowed his head and said respectfully: "Master Taizu, the disciple is not under any sect. Nor have I taken any type of Jindan. ”
The medicine man's eyes suddenly lit up like a light bulb, and his eyes were full of shock, but after the shock, there was ecstasy, a joy that came from the heart.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the emotion in his heart that was almost bursting with joy.
Turning his head, his gaze instantly fell on He Wude's body.
He Wude looked proud and said: "Master, Yiming has not deceived you, he has not worshiped anyone as a teacher, and what he has practiced is our Hengshan lineage's personal exercises, and he has never taken any golden pills." ”
The medicine Taoist nodded frequently, his face full of joy, and said, "Good, good, good ......."
He said three good words in a row, and then turned his head and said: "Yiming, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter is too important, and the old man can only verify it, I hope you don't mind." ”
He Yiming smiled slightly and said, "You are too old-hearted. ”
The medicine Taoist nodded with satisfaction and said, "Wude, what are your plans to take Yiming up the mountain now?"
When he said this, there was a hint of nervousness in his voice, with his age, status and strength, he would feel this way. It is clear that a heart has been raised.
He Wude bowed deeply to him and said, "Master, when the disciple was expelled from the door wall, you once said that if the disciple's descendant can give birth to an innate powerhouse and is willing to join the Hengshan lineage, then the disciple will be able to atone for his sins and return to the door wall. He raised his head, with a hint of pride and excitement in his eyes, and said, "Master, the disciple has not disgraced you. ”
The medicine man stretched out his hand and patted He Wude on the shoulder.
He Yiming's heart once again flooded with that strange feeling, a young man was patting an old man on the shoulder to express comfort, and the old man's face was full of respect, relief, and pride......
He suddenly felt an extreme envy for the medicine man's incredible rejuvenation technique, and he didn't know how his old man did it.
The medicine man turned his head and asked solemnly: "Yiming, you came here this time, but you are willing to join us in the Hengshan lineage?"
He Yiming bowed slightly and said, "Yes, the disciple really wants to join the Hengshan First Line." ”
His words were full of affirmation, not to mention that there were many innate masters in Hengshan, and the communication with them was enough to make his cultivation in martial arts go further. Even if it's just for the sake of grandpa's stubbornness, he wants to return to the door wall. He wouldn't have refused.
After receiving He Yiming's affirmative reply, the medicine Taoist finally laughed loudly, and the laughter was filled with a hearty feeling, as if the knots of many years had been completely broken up at this moment.
After a moment, he restrained his smile and said, "It's great, I didn't expect that our Yokoyama lineage had finally given birth to an elder again after decades. He took a step back, bowed to He Yiming, and said, "Elder He, now the old man is the only one in Hengshan. Therefore, please stay on this peak temporarily, and when all the elders in the mountain return, they will definitely open the ancestral hall for you, show the ancestors and ancestors, and invite you to join Hengshan. After that, all the peaks in the Yokoyama vein can be chosen by you. ”
Among the people around, except for He Wude, He Laibao and He Wujing, the faces of the rest of the people changed, especially the three generations of Elixir Peak disciples who started at the beginning, and they looked at each other one by one.
If they knew that this young man would become the fourth elder in their sect, then even if they had one more guts, they would not have the courage to make a move.
Moreover, after seeing such a solemn etiquette from the medicine man, these people reacted.
Although the person in front of him is young, he is He Wude's grandson, but since he has successfully stepped into the innate realm, then he is the elder of this sect, and the respect of his identity is far beyond their reach.
He Yiming had no objection to this, and said, "The disciple is at the mercy of the Taishi Ancestor," and then his heart moved, and he asked, "Taishi Zu, aren't you in retreat for alchemy? Why did you suddenly come up from the bottom of the mountain?" ”
A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the face of the medicine man, and the faces of He Wujin and the others were also quite strange, but in front of the medicine man, everyone did not dare to be presumptuous, so they bared their teeth, but no one made the slightest sound.
As if seeing everyone's expressions, the medicine man wrenched his face and said, "What are you all staying here for?" Don't you have to go to the medicine garden to take care of it, Wu Ji, Wu De and Noble will stay, and the rest of the people will do whatever they want." ”
In the face of the old man's sudden anger, everyone was frightened, and they responded in unison, and immediately scattered. In an instant, it was already gone without a trace.
After everyone left, the medicine Dao talent's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Elder He, since you have been promoted to the innate and are willing to join me in the Hengshan lineage, then you don't need to be called Tai Shi Zu, just call me Senior Brother Yao or Elder Yao." Among the innate elders, it is a rule passed down from ancestors to be commensurate with brothers, and etiquette cannot be abolished. ”
He Yiming has encountered a lot of this situation, starting from Ting Shiguang, the titles between innate masters are no longer divided by age. In the same way, after he becomes an elder of the Yokoyama lineage, the relationship with the medicine people will also become equal.
It's just that, after glancing at He Wude and He Laibao, the three words of Senior Brother Yao couldn't be said anyway. He smiled slightly and said, "Since it is the intention of Elder Yao, it is better to obey Yiming than to be respectful." ”
He Wujing's eyes looked at He Yiming, in fact, after he knew that He Yiming was an innate master, he knew that there would definitely be such a day. But when he saw that He Yiming had really been recognized by the Medicine Dao people and was 100% able to become an elder in the sect, he was full of emotion in his heart, and the look in those eyes became more and more complicated.
Then, his head drooped, burying the little jealousy in his heart. However, the moment he lowered his head, he suddenly saw his hands, which were covered with wrinkles and age spots peculiar to old people.
He suddenly thought that he was a few years older than He Wude, and he was already an old man with most of his body in the ground, but what did he have to think about so much?
At the thought of this, his heart suddenly brightened, and when he raised his head again, his eyes had returned to calm
The medicine man nodded with satisfaction, he coughed lightly suddenly, and said, "Elder He, the old man is actually not in retreat to refine medicine, but just going to the mountains to pick herbs. ”
He Yiming was surprised, opened his mouth, and disagreed in his heart, this appearance was really too exaggerated, even He Wujing, the disciple who presided over the elixir peak, had to hide it in the dark.
Glancing at his eyes, the Medicine Daoist seemed to see what was on his mind, and couldn't help but smile: "Actually, most of the disciples in the peak know about this matter, and they have been accustomed to it for decades, even martial arts will not be strange." ”
He Wude nodded with a smile on his face, obviously knowing this very well.
He Yiming suddenly remembered, when He Wujing returned from the mountain a few days ago, he had said that the deduction would not succeed, and there was no reaction in the cave. Grandpa was very anxious at the time, and he wanted to forcibly break through the customs first, but he was slightly blocked by He Wujing, and he immediately understood it and didn't care about it anymore.
It can be seen that this practice of the medicine Taoist people is not a whim, but has a long tradition. At least even the grandfather who has been away from this for more than 40 years is commonplace, and he is not surprised.
He shook his head secretly in his heart, Xue Lie, the eldest disciple of Shui Xuanjian, once said that every congenital powerhouse, after more than a hundred years of life experience, will be more or less weird. These weird habits may not be big, but sometimes they can have a certain impact on the people around them.
It was only now that he realized that this sentence was not groundless.
"Master. He Wude suddenly stepped forward, and his voice was a little low this time: "When the four disciples entered the mountain this time, they once found a two-headed spirit beast on the way. This spirit beast is extremely powerful, and the two heads are even more able to carry out the innate breath of wind and fire. ”
The medicine man's face tightened again, his eyes were immediately full of light, and there was a look of anticipation in it, "Where is this spirit beast?"
He Wude said with a smile: "Master, Yiming, this kid has already killed this spirit beast when he made a move. ”
The medicine Taoist opened his mouth, stopped talking, and finally nodded heavily, and said sincerely: "Yes, Elder He, you and Wude's luck is really good." ”
In fact, at this moment, countless thoughts had already turned in the hearts of the medicine path people.
If He Yiming and the others only found the spirit beast, but did not kill it, then he would naturally take action in person. If He Wude was the only one who killed the spirit beast, he would also unceremoniously ask for Neidan.
Whether it is in his heart or in He Wude's heart, he regards himself as a person in the Hengshan lineage through and through. Since there is such a good thing, of course, it must be handed over to the sect to refine the golden pill. Of course, the disciples in the sect will not be disadvantaged to hand over the Inner Dan, although they may not necessarily give the Innate Golden Pill, but there will definitely be a large amount of compensation, and they will be reused.
But now it is He Yiming who hunts the spirit beast, if he is an old man who does not know each other like this, he asks for it. So even if He Yiming hinders He Wude's face, if he doesn't say it on the surface, he will definitely not be happy in his heart, if he is upset because of this, let this young congenital powerhouse have two hearts for Hengshan Yimai, then it will be the real gain that outweighs the loss.
After all, even if you have the Innate Golden Pill, you may not be able to guarantee 100% that you can smoothly advance to the Innate Realm. But He Yiming is a living innate powerhouse. No matter how stupid the medicine man is, he knows how to choose.
He Wude glanced at He Yiming, and a hint of color was faintly visible in his old face.
He Yiming smiled slightly, flipped his wrist, and suddenly added a small jade bottle, and said: "Elder Yao, this is the inner pill I obtained from that spirit beast, I heard that Elder Yao's alchemy technique is unparalleled in the world, and the return of the ancestor to Hengshan is a great joy, this thing has the right to be a gift, and it will be given to you old." ”
Before entering Hengshan, he may still have some reluctance in his heart. But after hearing He Wujin's words, the medicine Dao man in front of him gave up his request to benefit himself before the Supreme Elder, and instead asked He Wude to return to the door wall, he was full of admiration and emotion for the elder in front of him.
The matter of the white boulder, he will not leak it out at will, but the two spirit beast Neidan, he will not be stingy.
The medicine man's face also showed a look of surprise, he hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it.
If it is said that ordinary spirit animals are the most important treasures for the family. Then the innate spirit beasts of more than five hundred years are the most important thing for these hidden sects.
The inner pill of the innate spirit beast was placed in front of him, and even if it was the cultivation of a medicine dao person, he couldn't help but be excited.
When he opened the jade bottle, the medicine man was first stunned, then surprised, and then unbelievable surprise.
"Elder He, how could it be two...... Innate Inner Dan?"
He Yiming shrugged his hands and said, "I don't know, that spirit beast gave birth to two heads, and each head has an inner pill in it. He paused and asked curiously, "Elder Yao, what kind of spirit beast is this?"
The medicine man was dumbfounded, he thought about it for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, but according to ancient books, all the two inner pills in the body are mutated spirit beasts. Whether it is the strength of the spirit beast or the strength of the effect of the inner pill, it is far better than that of ordinary innate spirit beasts. He said happily: "If it is an ordinary innate spirit beast inner pill, the old man is only thirty percent sure that he can refine the innate golden pill." But the inner pill of this mutated spirit beast, then in the hands of the old man, there are at least five layers of certainty that it can be successfully refined. ”
He Yiming's heart moved, he vaguely felt that the mutation of the two-headed spirit beast must be related to the white boulder, but what is the relationship, but it will have to be explored slowly in the future.
The medicine Taoist carefully took the jade bottle into his arms, groaned for a while, and said, "Elder He, although you are kind-hearted, but the rules of the Hengshan Gate will not treat the disciples who sacrifice the Innate Inner Pill badly. If these two inner pills are successfully refined into the Innate Golden Pill, then I guarantee that the dominance of one of them will definitely be handed over to you. ”
He Yiming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Elder Yao, I still have something to ask for, and I ask you to agree." ”
The medicine Taoist man waved his sleeves and said, "Elder He has something to do, just ask, as long as the old man does his best, he will definitely not refuse." ”
"Then thank you Elder Yao. A look of surprise flashed in He Yiming's eyes, and he said, "I want to follow the elder and learn the way of alchemy." ”
