Chapter 50 The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Out of the Disciple Pavilion, Xingtian hung a long sword on his waist, and slowly walked to a building, as a disciple of the earth list, he can receive the rewards of the corresponding ranking every month, including pills, clothes, silver taels and orthography contributions.
Naturally, ordinary disciples don't have this kind of reward, which is why so many disciples want to climb the ground list.
When he arrived at the place, Xingtian bowed to the middle-aged deacon who was in charge of distributing the reward, but he saw that the latter was looking at a painting intently, and he didn't even notice Xingtian's arrival.
In addition to being curious, Xing Tian also took a look, but saw that the middle-aged deacon was actually staring at a 'Hexagram Mountain Cloud and Mist Map' and nodding his head again and again, with a look of appreciation and affection, and at the same time a trace of awe.
Although the distance is a little far, Xingtian can still see the painting, and it is really a good work, with smooth lines, light colors of clouds and ink, high mountains and flowing water, deep streams of cloud streams, and strange stones and strange forests.
Of course, when it comes to painting, this painting can indeed be called a masterpiece, so Xing Tian only nodded slightly, to be honest, he can paint a painting at will at will at this level.
This is not Xingtian's arrogance, in terms of painting skills, Xingtian has never seen anyone surpass him. However, this painting does not seem to be so simple, the highest level of painting skills is to convey the spirit with a pen, this hexagram mountain cloud and fog map is extremely expressive, as if it is not a painting, but a real scene, of course, except for some small flaws that can only be found in Xingtian, if those few small flaws are modified, this painting can be called perfect.
Xing Tian loves to paint like an obsession, so he actually looked at the painting from afar, immersed in it, and secretly thought to himself how to start the brush, how to decorate, and how to make up for the flaws in it if he painted it himself.
So Xingtian completely forgot the purpose of coming here, and it wasn't until the middle-aged deacon turned around that he found Xingtian standing behind him.
"You...... When did you come in? You didn't even say a word, how could you be so rude!" The middle-aged deacon suddenly scolded angrily, he completely forgot that he had just entered the gods by himself, and his cultivation was only a small achievement in the pranayama realm.
Xing Tian just wanted to explain, but at this moment, a cold snort came from behind him.
"Mud legs are mud legs, you don't know etiquette at all, Deacon Chen, you just have a good temper, if it were me, I would have driven this person out a long time ago, how could I talk nonsense with him!"
Behind Chu Yingjie, Xu Jiang stared at Xingtian with a vicious expression, but did not speak.
Xingtian saw that it was the two brothers, and he also frowned, but they were all outside the hexagram mountain, and it was impossible not to be afraid.
"It turned out to be the first person in the outer gate, Chu Yingjie, it just so happens that you haven't received the reward for this month's land list, so I'll prepare it for you!" That is called Deacon Chen hurriedly put on a smiling face, this Chu Yingjie's identity is special, that is, some elders have to give him three points of courtesy, not to mention that he is a small deacon.
In a short time, Deacon Chen prepared a large number of things, including elixirs, clothing, gold and silver, and a large number of orthography contributions.
At this moment, Chu Yingjie glanced at Xingtian and said, "Deacon Chen, this person is also here to receive the reward, if it is convenient for you, you can also get it for him!"
Many people know the grievances between Xingtian and Chu Yingjie's brothers, so Deacon Chen naturally knew that the other party didn't really want to get the reward by himself, and immediately knew it in his heart, but he sneered and said to Xingtian: "I'm sorry, in the past few days, both the pill and the silver have been in short supply, so you can only come back another day!"
Xing Tian raised his eyebrows, naturally knowing that this Deacon Chen was lying, and he didn't speak at the moment, so he looked at the other party with his eyes.
In the end, he was a thief, and Deacon Chen's face stiffened, but he said: "Look at what I do, if you don't have it, you don't have it, but if you have to reward it, I can only make it up to you." ”
After speaking, the other party went to fetch some things, and then put them in front of Xingtian.
It was a few packets of herbal seeds, a few tattered disciple clothes, and the orthographic contribution of the other party couldn't do anything, but he took all of them.
"These are herb seeds, don't underestimate these, if you cultivate them carefully, you can harvest a lot of herbs in a year, I heard that you have also been in the medicine garden before, you should be no stranger to planting herbs!" said Chen Zhixin.
Seeing this, Xing Tianyan didn't know if the other party did it on purpose, but the next moment Xing Tian smiled, but he grabbed these things and turned to leave, but he didn't say a word.
"Cousin, I hate this person to the core, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have wasted time recuperating in vain!" Xu Jiang stared at Xingtian's back and said angrily.
"I know, you will practice hard these days, as for this kid, he won't be able to jump for a few days, don't talk about you, I can't tolerate him, hmph, if it wasn't for Gongsun Zhi to get in the way last time, I would have killed this kid a long time ago, but this person has a great chance, and he has cultivated to the realm of pranayama, so I can't let him become bigger." Remember, the martial arts I passed on to you must be practiced diligently, and only by improving your cultivation can you gain a foothold in this Hexagram Mountain Sect!"
"I'll do my best!"
After teaching his cousin, Chu Yingjie turned his head to thank Deacon Chen, he was also sharp-eyed, and suddenly saw the 'Hexagram Mountain Cloud and Mist Map' on the table, but he was slightly stunned.
"Deacon Chen, if I'm not mistaken, this hexagram mountain cloud and mist map is from the inner door Listening to the Rain Pavilion, right?"
"Haha, I can't hide anything from you, that's right, this is indeed from the Listening Rain Pavilion, but I don't know which gentleman's handwriting, I also spent a lot of money to get it. Deacon Chen seemed to value the painting very much, and as he spoke, he put it away, as carefully as if it were a peerless treasure.
"No matter which gentleman in the inner door is, he is an amazing and glamorous person, maybe there is a secret hidden in this painting, I would like to congratulate you first!" Chu Yingjie said very seriously, and there was a trace of yearning in his eyes.
The inner gate of Hexagram Mountain, that is where the soul of Hexagram Mountain lies, but Chu Yingjie is conceited that he will one day be able to step into the inner door, cross the rigidity and softness, step through, and get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven and earth.
......
After Xing Tian left, he threw away the tattered clothes directly, and then went straight back to his room. Looking at the herb seeds in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of Xingtian's mouth.
Deacon Chen deliberately embarrassed himself because of Chu Yingjie, and distributed these herb seeds that were not useful at all as a contribution, thinking that he could make himself deflated. But as everyone knows, these herb seeds are more valuable than directly giving Xingtian pills.
"I only need to find a remote place, sow these seeds, and water them with purple water, I can harvest mature medicinal materials in a very short time, and then use purple gourd to refine the pill, but the pills I get are more than the direct reward, but unfortunately they have exhausted their organs, and they still cheapen me!" Xing Tian muttered, and it was also for this reason that he did not make any defense at that time.
"Xingtian, with your current cultivation, plus me, you may not be afraid of that Chu Yingjie, and if you set a trap and play some tricks, I have a sixty percent chance of killing him!" Xiao Bai said at this time, with a hint of murder in his voice.
Xing Tian shook his head and said: "If things really come to that irretrievable point, of course you can do that, but I want to defeat the other party with my own cultivation and surpass the other party, the martial arts have countless obstacles along the way, if you blindly think about solving it with the help of external forces, then the future achievements will not be high." ”
Xiaobai was speechless for a moment, and at this moment he couldn't find any words to refute.
Xingtian is in a very good mood at this moment, what he said just now can be regarded as a kind of enlightenment, some things are like this, if he is enlightened, he will no longer drill the tip of the horns, let alone spend his mind thinking about it, and if there is no enlightenment, he will fall into a quagmire, and waste his energy in vain.
Xingtian thought of it and did it, and directly took the seeds out of the disciple's pavilion, the mountains behind the hexagram mountain are vast, not as dangerous as the mountain of no return, and the sect does not prohibit disciples from going, but if you want to enter the back mountain, you have to hand in a positive contribution.
An hour later, Xingtian arrived at an inaccessible place, surrounded by towering mountain peaks, ancient cypresses, and dense vines. Xingtian used his true qi to perform the cloud steps of the Tianshan Mountains, and even jumped on a big tree, stepped on the trunk, climbed the crown of the ten-zhang tree, and looked down at the scenery in the mountains.
This is already the depths of the mountain behind the hexagram mountain, and there are no herbs or beasts, so no one will come at all on weekdays. After looking at it for a while, Xingtian faintly heard the sound of water, jumped up, jumped over a few big trees, and walked for a while to the top of a valley.
In the valley at your feet, there is a turbulent waterfall, and the sound of the water just now comes from here.
"This is a good place!" Xing Tian was overjoyed, but he went down to the valley, and it was really cool and secluded, with waterfalls and pools, and a paradise.
And there is a piece of land next to the waterhole, which is just right for sowing medicinal herbs.
"This place is so remote, and there is no trace of anyone entering, most of them have never been discovered, I might as well treat this place as a place to grow medicinal herbs, and I can also use the turbulent waterfall here to cultivate the true qi of internal strength!" Xing Tian was in a very good mood, but he took out the seeds, plowed the ground with a long sword, sowed them into the field, and then poured the clear water that had been poured into the purple gourd a long time ago.
After doing all this, Xingtian practiced Qingyun swordsmanship in the open space, and for a while, the sword light flashed in the valley, and there was only this excellent scenery and the young man dancing the sword.
It's just that Xingtian didn't know that when he was sweating like rain to practice swordsmanship, a girl with a short knife hanging on her waist and an apricot yellow short coat fell lightly outside the valley.
"How could it be him?"
