Chapter Eighty-Seven: Mr. Nine
For the outer gate of the Hexagram Mountain Sect, after the news of Xingtian's entry into the inner gate came out, it caused an uproar.
Most of the disciples couldn't believe it, even if Xingtian killed Chu Yingjie with a sword on the martial arts platform and won the first place in the outer gate list, it was impossible to enter the inner gate so quickly.
Among the outer disciples, the inner gate is a holy place, and those who can enter the inner gate must be the elite of the elite, even if they are excellent in punishment, if they want to enter the inner gate, they must stay in the top three of the ground list for half a year.
It's just that whether you believe it or not, this is the truth, and this news is still from the first elder of the outer gate, Zuo Changsong, so there is definitely no falsehood.
At this moment, in a hall at the outer gate, the deacons and elders of the outer gate gathered together, but among them, only Yu Tonghai and Elder Ouyang were missing. In fact, just a few days ago, the inner gate sent people to find out a series of crimes of these two elders, most of which were violating the rules of the door, enriching their own pockets, accepting bribes from disciples, etc., so they were directly removed from their positions and expelled from the Hexagram Mountain faction. It's just that Zuo Changsong and the others all know that the inner door is taking advantage of this movement to take advantage of this movement to tidy up the outer door.
This matter is quite moving, if it weren't for the incident of Xingtian entering the inner gate later, I am afraid that it will be talked about for a long time.
It's just that two things that have nothing to do with each other originally, because the time that happened was too close, especially the original Yu Tonghai and Elder Ouyang were obviously at odds with Xingtian, so someone with a heart connected these two things together.
Some people say that Xingtian has long been valued by a certain gentleman in the inner gate, and he wants to be accepted as a disciple, and after defeating Chu Yingjie, he will directly move into the inner gate, and this gentleman's status must be above Mr. Bikong, otherwise how can he have the power to order a reasonable outer door?
Those who don't know it think that this guess is the most reliable.
And at this moment, Elder Xiao was walking back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, but he thought of something, stopped and said to Zuo Changsong: "Elder Zuo, now in the outer gate, rumors have been flying all over the sky, everyone knows that Xingtian has entered the inner gate, but even I don't know which gentleman he has entered, if Elder Zuo knows, please tell us everyone, so as not to let us guess, to be honest, now those rumors outside are I have some faith!"
There are not a few elders who have the same idea, and although the deacons sitting in the last seat are all itching, their status is not as good as that of the elders, so they can only wait for Sachomatsu to announce the results with patience.
In addition to the deacons, the top three disciples of the outer gate are also present, and the top three of the ground list are already the core of the outer gate, so they also have the right to participate in this kind of meeting, but they are not qualified to speak.
Because the newly promoted first person on the earth list, Xing Tian, entered the inner gate, so Liu Wujian, who was originally ranked second and third, Gongsun Zhi automatically rose one place, and the other disciple who ranked fourth was also lucky to enter the top three.
At this moment, the three of them sat upright on the back chairs, their faces full of doubts and a little excited.
The fact that Xingtian entered the inner gate was undoubtedly a huge touch for them, especially Gongsun Zhi, she had never imagined that a junior disciple who had just started for less than a year would surpass all of them in a short period of time and be the first to enter the inner gate.
The inner gate, that is the real holy land of martial artists, every disciple of the outer gate of the Hexagram Mountain Sect, even the deacons and elders, hopes to enter the inner gate one day.
At this moment, Liu Wujian was expressionless, but his fists were clenched, and he didn't know what was going on in his head. And Gongsun Zhi was even more excited, and her heart was even more intense about entering the inner door.
As for the other disciple, he was also inexplicably excited, as if it was not Xingtian who entered the inner gate, but him.
This was all what they thought after hearing Elder Zuo announce that Xingtian had entered the inner gate.
And Elder Zuo only said that Xingtian had entered the inner gate before, but that's all, and the rest didn't say anything, so Elder Xiao had just asked.
For a while, everyone's eyes were on Sachang Song, just to get more news.
They were anxious, but they didn't know that Sachomatsu was puzzled when he came here, he was thinking about the cause and effect of this matter, and some things reached a certain level, and they could be deduced by relying on some previous clues. And Sachomatsu is also extremely smart, and immediately thought of a possibility.
He looked up at Chang Yu, who was sitting among the deacons below, but asked out loud, "Deacon Chang, I have something to ask you, and I hope you will answer truthfully!"
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up: "Elder Zuo, please ask!"
"Who wrote that hexagram mountain cloud map in your room?" asked Zuo Changsong, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and it was very chaotic, but it seemed that as long as he solved this puzzle, everything could be solved.
Chang Yu was not stupid, he probably knew in his heart that the painting that Xingtian gave him might be very important, and at this time he could only tell the truth, and many elders heard that the painting was actually painted by Xingtian, and a few of them directly showed a look of sudden realization.
Especially Zuo Changsong, but he slapped his head, at this moment he understood, and understood why Xingtian was suddenly selected into the inner door.
Some people understand, while most people are still in the dark, and in contrast to this, many people just want to know which gentleman Xingtian worshiped under the inner door. After all, in the inner gate, the cultivation of the six gentlemen is also high and low, and they have specializations in the art industry. Generally speaking, if you can worship Mr. Du Yu, it is the best, if not, worship Mr. Mo Ye is good, these two people are the eldest disciples and second disciples of Mr. Tingyu, and their cultivation is the most unfathomable, although these two gentlemen have few disciples, but their status in the inner door is higher than that of other gentlemen. And the rest of the gentlemen have a lot of disciples, and their status is about the same.
"Paint, paint...... Oh, I see, the person who presides over the Divine Painting Pavilion in the inner gate is the fourth gentleman Yuan Bikong, could it be that Xingtian has become Mr. Bikong's protégé?" Elder Xiao said loudly at this time.
"Mr. Bikong's protégé, that's also quite remarkable!" Many elders around also nodded again and again, some time ago, Elder Zuo asked them to go to Chang Yu to watch the painting, and at that time they felt that the painting was full of charm, and the person who painted it was obviously very suitable for cultivating the ancient god painter Dao, if the painting was painted by Xingtian, the other party was indeed likely to worship Mr. Bikong's disciple.
How do you know that Zuo Changsong smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Xingtian is not worshipping under the door of the fourth senior brother!"
"Isn't it?" Elder Xiao was obviously a little stunned, and then said, "What is that ......?"
Seeing this, Zuo Changsong didn't plan to sell Guanzi anymore, but said with a wry smile: "I went to the inner gate yesterday to listen to the ceremony of the Yu Pavilion, but to see Mr. Yu accept the gift of nine disciples, and he went directly to Mr. Tingyu's door!"
Bang Dang!
Not far away, an elder was leisurely tasting the tea on the table, and when he heard this, the teacup in his hand fell directly to the ground, but he was shocked.
Not only him, but everyone present had the same expression, as if they had heard something incredible.
"Elder Zuo, what did you say?" asked Elder Xiao in a daze.
At this moment, Zuo Changsong also said loudly: "Xingtian worships Mr. Tingyu, who ranks ninth in Tingyu Pavilion, if you meet him in the future, you have to call him Mr. Nine!"
...... The inner door welcomes the long pavilion, this long pavilion is located not far from the mountain gate of the inner gate of the hexagram mountain, next to it is a clear spring deep stream, sitting in the long pavilion, you can hear the sound of rushing water. In the spring season, it will be full of greenery and flowers.
At this moment, Xingtian had a cloud mist sword hanging from his waist, carrying a wooden box in his hand, and slowly walked here, and then looked at a talisman attached to a wooden beam in the welcoming pavilion and smiled.
It has been more than two months since Xingtian entered the inner gate, and during this time, Xingtian only quietly went back to the outer gate once to meet Lin Yuefeng and others, and the rest of the time, he was meditating at the inner gate.
To say that in the past two months, Xingtian has done too much, with the help of the 'Qi Gathering Great Array' of the inner gate and the Purple Gourd Refining Cave Opening Pill, Xingtian's cultivation has directly broken through to the Great Completion of the Acupoint Opening Realm in two months, and he has fully opened seventy-eight acupoints. Not only that, but he will also learn a peculiar exercise, 'Condensing Ink and Gathering Qi'.
This is a kind of exercise that the disciples of the Divine Painting Pavilion still have to practice in the normal cultivation process, and the emphasis is on condensing ink with qi, and this exercise is extremely difficult to practice, it is said that some disciples in the Divine Painting Pavilion have practiced for three years, and they still can't even do the most basic 'Three Halal Water'.
The so-called 'Sanqing water' is a liquid condensed by gas, then dropped on an inkstone to dissolve and grind, and then dipped in ink with a pen to outline the symbol.
It can be said that this is the first step to becoming a divine painter, but this first step is extremely difficult for most people, and it can take as little as a year or as much as three or five years to cross. And Xingtian has only been cultivating this 'Condensing Ink and Gathering Qi Chapter' for only two months, and he has already practiced the 'Three Halal Water', and I have to say that in terms of the talent of becoming a divine painter, Xingtian has thrown others out of several streets.
At this moment, according to the task assigned by the Divine Painting Pavilion, he came to repair the runes in the many qi gathering formations in the inner gate.
Stretching out his luck, Xingtian grabbed the old talisman seal attached to a wooden beam in the welcoming pavilion and took it down, and then Xingtian used his true qi to shatter the talisman seal at once.
Then he put down the wooden box in his hand, took out the paper and pen inkstone inside, sat cross-legged on the ground to run the true qi, and pinched the three halal water recipes in his hand, only to see that the clouds and mist visible to the naked eye slowly gathered around Xingtian, and a lot of water vapor was faintly visible. After a while, when there were more and more aircurrents that seemed to be qi and non-qi and foggy, Xing Tian snorted lightly, stretched out his hand, and all the mist condensed onto Xing Tian's fingers, and finally converged into a series of water droplets.
This is the Three Halal Waters.
Then Xingtian poured this string of water droplets on the inkstone and fainted, then took a pen and dipped it in ink, and then took a blank piece of rune paper and sketched a strange font on it.
"It's done!" Seeing that the talisman he had sketched emitted a strange glow and returned to normal, Xingtian nodded, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and got up to reattach the talisman to the wooden beam.
