Chapter Seventy-Four: The Battle for Places (1)
The old rain is gone.
With Xingtian's 'Sword Asking the Sky Map', he left Xingtian with a word when he left.
"Actually, it's good to be my student, I'm only your teacher, but not the master, you think about it, and I like this painting very much, I like it very much!"
Of course, Xingtian didn't know that the young man he painted with the sword slaughtering the sky was exactly the same as Lao Yu's appearance when he was young, and Xingtian also wrote the adverb made by Lao Yu on the side of the painting, which was regarded as an embellishment, and the whole picture looked extremely eye-catching.
After sending people back, Xingtian happened to meet Lin Yuefeng, who thought that Xingtian had just come back when he saw Xingtian, but Xingtian told the other party that he was just going to give people away.
"Give it away?" Lin Yuefeng touched his head, but said, "I saw you coming out of the house just now, there was only one person, how could there be anyone else?"
Xing Tian was stunned for a moment, but a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, he just reacted, no one seemed to notice him when Lao Yu came and left, and the few disciples he had just met along the road only greeted him, but he ignored the old rain beside him.
This is obviously a bit unreasonable, in the outer gate of the hexagram mountain, when you meet the elders, you have to see the courtesy, one disciple is an individual problem, if many disciples are like this, then the problem may be the other party.
"You really didn't see anything, an old man like this......" Xing Tian gave Lin Yuefeng a gesture, but the latter shook his head with a puzzled expression.
Xingtian secretly said that the old man was a ghost, otherwise how could no one else see him except himself, and thought that Xiao Bai's perception was extremely strong, and he could ask Xiao Bai about the situation just now.
"By the way, Xingtian, tomorrow morning is the triennial Inner Gate Sermon Conference, the Inner Gate will select three of the best disciples from our outer disciples to listen to the sermon, all the disciples of the outer door must be present, and now all the disciples are busy with this matter, after all, if they can be selected, it can be said that half a foot has stepped into the inner door. Lin Yuefeng said excitedly.
Xingtian also knows about this matter, but this kind of thing is obviously unavoidable, and no one knows what the selection criteria of the inner door are.
For the inner door, Xingtian is also extremely yearning, after all, that is where Master Qu Chong once asked for martial arts, and if he wants to be more refined in martial arts, the inner door of the Hexagram Mountain School is obviously the best choice.
Back in his room, Xing Tian summoned Xiao Bai in the purple gourd, recently Xiao Bai was studying the barbarian blood patterns on the fierce beast map, and seemed to have found some exercises that could improve his own cultivation, so he would meditate in the purple gourd when he was fine.
Summoning Xiaobai, Xing Tian asked about the old rain just now. As a result, Xiaobai shook his head, indicating that he didn't feel anything.
Xingtian said the situation that seemed to be the only one who could see the old man, Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "Xingtian, the situation you said can be big or small, to be honest, there are no ghosts in this world, but there are masters who know how to deceive the five senses, this is also a kind of martial arts, and it is a divine law that can only be mastered by the Enlightenment Realm." ”
"Master of the Enlightenment Realm?" Xing Tian was stunned.
"According to your human words, people have five senses, namely seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and taste, and these five senses are also related to people's acupoints.
"There is such a martial arts magic method?" Xing Tian was also shocked, now thinking back, the situation at that time was very similar to what Xiao Bai said, the other party was blinded to everyone's five senses, and only let himself see the other party.
Is old Hugo really that powerful?
Xing Tian couldn't have imagined that someone like the old peasant would be such an amazing character, but if these speculations were true, then who was the other party?
Xingtian doesn't know this problem, because there is another possibility, it is not someone else who is blinded, but himself.
In terms of difficulty, this is the most likely, after all, blinding a group of people and blinding a person is obviously different, that is, it is very likely that someone deceived themselves with the method of blinding the five senses, making them think that such an old man came to him, and in fact, none of this happened, it was like a dream.
It's just that the pen on the table is still stained with ink, but this is very real, I really painted a picture, and this painting is missing at this moment.
"Xingtian, you don't need to think about this problem anymore, if the other party is a master of the Know-how Realm and understands that kind of divine law, now you can only be played with by others, if you want to be played with one day, then you must continue to improve your strength. But then again, that person doesn't seem to have any ill will towards you, otherwise you would have died a long time ago!" Xiaobai told the truth, Xingtian naturally understood, but when he thought of his five senses being blinded by others, he felt uncomfortable.
It's just as Xiaobai said, that Lao Yu can perform such a magic method, it must be a very high cultivation, if the other party has bad intentions, how can he prevent it? It's better not to think about it, anyway, the other party is just asking for a painting, as for what the other party said to be his own student, if it is natural to learn martial arts, it is a pity that the other party wants to learn painting skills by himself.
Shaking his head, Xing Tian threw these thoughts out of his mind, but sat cross-legged and began to cultivate after a while.
In the early morning of the second day, Xing Tian dressed up early and hung the newly exchanged 'Cloud Sword' on his waist. The skill of forging a sword in Hexagram Mountain is also unparalleled in the world, and there are three kinds of disciples who can exchange for orthography contributions, namely stainless steel swords, clear water swords, and cloud and mist swords, among which the 'cloud and mist swords' are of the best quality, and the overlapping patterns on the sword body are like clouds, which is also named after this, of course, the orthography contribution required to exchange this sword is not a small amount, but for Xingtian, the one hundred and fifty orthography contributions required for exchange can still be afforded.
Outside the disciple pavilion, Xing Tian and Lin Yuefeng and other eleven disciples walked towards the Yanwu platform together, and there were outer disciples along the road, after all, this triennial inner door preaching meeting is a very big thing, although there are only three places among the three thousand disciples of the outer door in the end, but even so, everyone also wants to fight for it, because once selected, it will be a direct step to the sky.
When I arrived at the Yanwu platform, I saw a dense crowd, the three thousand disciples of the outer gate, basically all of them were present, including all the deacons and elders, and it was also because of the selection of three outer disciples to go to the inner door to listen to the sermon, which was completely presided over by the inner door, in order to show respect, the elders and deacons were naturally all present.
Xing Tian met Deacon Chang Yu halfway through, and naturally they talked all the way, and the things they talked about were nothing more than about this selection and the duel next month. For this selection, Chang Yu said that he could only resign himself to fate and look at personal chance, but as for the duel with Chu Yingjie next month, Xing Tian told Chang Yu that he was at least fifty percent sure.
Now Xingtian's cultivation, Chang Yu can no longer be explored, but Chang Yu is very pleased with the confidence shown by Xingtian, as he said, Xingtian is definitely a piece of jade, as long as it is carefully carved, it will inevitably shine in the future.
At this moment, Xing Tian thought of yesterday's Lao Yu and asked, "Deacon Chang Yu, do you have a friend named Lao Yu?"
Chang Yu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
In this case, Xing Tian also thought that Lao Yu could confuse people's perception with divine law, and the origin was mysterious, and what he said may not be true.
Xing Tian thought for a while and asked, "Then have you ever told anyone about the painting I gave you?"
It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to painting, Chang Yu has a wry smile on his face: "I didn't tell anyone that you gave the painting, but Xing God, you have to tell me honestly, what is the mystery of your painting, it actually provoked so many people to come to watch the painting, you don't know, I've been scared lately, and I don't dare to go back, I'm afraid that someone will come to see the painting......"
Chang Yu told the strange experience of these days, and now he also understands that all this problem seems to lie in the painting that Xing Tian gave him. Chang Yu naturally couldn't see the difference in that painting, although he was puzzled in his heart, but when he asked anyone, everyone kept silent again and again, and didn't say anything.
"And this matter?" Xing Tian was also stunned, but he was extremely smart, and obviously he couldn't guess the mystery, but the old rain yesterday must have something to do with this matter.
For a while, Xingtian was also aroused, he never thought that his painting would one day cause such a sensation, in Wajin Village, that is, his father and Linglong praised their painting skills, but they didn't feel anything.
Lao Yu's matter, Xing Tian didn't tell Chang Yu, also because he really didn't know what to say about this matter, especially the matter of the painting he gave Chang Yu was only known to the person concerned, and Chang Yu didn't tell anyone else, so how did Lao Yu know?
Things are weird, and according to Xingtian's always principle of doing things, when encountering things that are difficult to solve and not particularly important, they will put them aside for the time being, also because there are too many things that I don't understand now, and random speculation will go astray, so it is better to wait with peace of mind and see which direction things will develop.
The most important thing at the moment is the quota for this inner door preaching meeting, and the duel with Chu Yingjie in a month.
On the martial arts stage, a group of elders stood on it, and the first one was naturally Zuo Changsong, and beside him were the two elders who had cultivated to reach the realm of rigidity and softness, including Elder Xiao, who had relieved Xingtian that day.
"The triennial inner door preaching meeting is the top priority of my hexagram mountain, I don't know which three disciples can get such an opportunity to create this kind of fate!" Elder Xiao glanced at the three thousand disciples below and sighed.
"Choose one out of a thousand, naturally you have to choose the disciple with the best talent and the highest cultivation, although there are many people, it is also easy to choose!" said another slightly chubby elder.
"Two junior brothers, the inner gate hasn't sent anyone yet, tell me, who has a better chance this time?" asked with a smile.
The other two glanced at each other, and the fat elder said: "To be honest, I think this time it is most likely Liu Wujian, Gongsun Zhi and Chu Yingjie, who is in the limelight, although there are also amazing talents among the other disciples, but compared to these three people, they are a little worse." ”
