Chapter 44: Three Years
After the bell rang, the sect was more or less in a panic, but the heads of each sect went and returned without saying a word, and the halls of the sect did what they had to do step by step, as if the short Taiqing bell never rang.
There was nothing to do, and several miscellaneous disciples also went to their own places after sprinkling water in the small courtyard, some of them were also craftsmen, and some of them were concentrating on practicing enlightenment. Huang Ming was more idle than these people, so he asked the route and went down to Taiqing Ancestral Mountain, and trotted all the way to the train hall.
The foot journey is not slow, but it is noon when I arrive at the train hall, and the different scene from last night is that the road in the forest is extremely lively, and the flow of people in and out is like the market where Huang Ming has not been in a hurry outside, the ancestral mountain is forbidden to fly, and other places can't help it, the clouds are all the same clothes as Huang Ming, and those who run on the ground with their legs are just Huang Ming and other outer disciples.
Of course, the ground is more lively, the outer disciples have different colors of clothing, but the cloud patterns on them are all the same, a slightly older disciple took out the jerky and shared it with everyone, and Huang Ming was also lucky to get a piece.
"Senior Brother Cui, the bell rings very unusually in the morning, but something happened?" The crowd chatted as they scurried, and soon a small group of people gathered as someone ate the jerky.
"I heard that all the monks above the enlightenment stage have gathered in the Taiqing Pavilion, how can it be small? Since the teacher didn't say anything when he came back, even if it was a big deal, it had nothing to do with us. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, Huang Ming was also among them, but seeing that the inner disciple of this face was eating other people's dried meat without ambiguity, after eating a piece, he asked Senior Brother Cui for a piece.
"Senior brother, but he was a new disciple of the inner gate last night?" That Senior Brother Cui arched his hand to Huang Ming and asked.
"Yes, what do you call Senior Brother?"
"Don't dare, don't be Cui Xinsheng, worship under the East Sword Pavilion and the East Sword Guo Liao."
Huang Ming bowed his hand in return, "Remember the disciple, Huang Ming, there is no teacher for the time being." ”
Cui Shusheng's face was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "But the new disciple of the eye?" ”
Huang Ming was a little shy and nodded.
A barefoot disciple was uncertain, but he still stopped and said to Huang Ming: "Senior Brother Huang, my senior uncle Li Jige at home, I'm afraid that I am on my way to the memorization office to find you, should you go to the Banlie Hall first, or go back to the memorization office to meet my Senior Uncle Li?" ”
Huang Ming stopped, turned back to the outer disciple of the carnivorous forest, and said, "Senior brother, I was recommended by the seniors in the lower record office, and went to the third floor with the train order to select the exercises, and go back immediately after the selection, do you think it's okay?" ”
This outer disciple also felt that this disciple with red and purple eyes today was not the one who was domineering, and he was willing to get a little closer in his heart, so he stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "It's easy to say, don't hide it from the junior brother, the senior brother went to the place to remember that he brought it to the junior brother with a great opportunity, so the junior disciple must not choose the method related to the eye, the senior uncle has already prepared." ”
Although he had heard about it from Xue Yi this morning, Huang Ming still bowed down to thank this carnivorous forest disciple whose name had not been announced, and went to the Banlie Pavilion hand in hand with everyone.
The first floor is still the place where the incense is respected, although Huang Ming's covered skin is ordinary, the style of his clothes is eye-catching, especially the wave of disciples who were eliminated last night before they walked to the class train hall, and they routinely came to worship the ancestor master, and they even cast all kinds of looks.
According to the rules, anyone who has not gone far on the Taiqing Mountain needs to pay incense to the ancestor once a month, Huang Ming has a sample, twisted out a stick of cyan incense containing a little qi and burned, and inserted the large urn-like incense burner in a proper manner.
Upstairs on the second floor, I met Xu Nuo who happened to go downstairs, after the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Huang Ming picked up the steps and climbed up, Xu Nuo looked back at Huang Ming, shook his head, and went downstairs.
I really don't understand that this senior brother Huang, who doesn't look confused, has that eye chip, and will choose a place that is not good at magic, I heard that the door master also appeared in person to ask, after all, the record office should be the hall under the personal jurisdiction of the door master, it is said that the door master has never accepted apprentices in this life, is it going to the disciples who are running to the door master's opening and closing the door?
So it makes sense, Xu Nuo secretly praised, went down to the first floor, and happened to meet the warrior woman with a ponytail last night, the two sides nodded, and Xu Nuo went in the direction of Yihu.
It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the operation form of cloud disk first to save time when you go out.
Huang Ming climbed the second floor, and dozens of people were here to check the sect tasks that were hanging high, among which most of them went down the mountain to customize equipment for certain sects, and there were also a few anti-theft tasks, and the contribution point rewards were written in great detail, and there was even a garrison task that was a little conspicuous, stationed in Rongcheng for one year, two hundred contribution points.
There were obviously a lot more inner disciples on this floor, so after Huang Ming stepped into the second floor, he didn't attract anyone's attention.
Huang Ming thought about stepping into the three floors, and what was surprising was that these three floors were so high, far beyond his expectations, except for the dozens of chairs that had appeared on the first floor, the rest were all on the bookshelves of the year at a glance.
It's as big as a hill.
There was only one person in the pavilion who stepped on the ladder in the clothes of an inner disciple to choose the exercises, it was Lu Bingwan, the cheap senior brother of the same period, and on the chair behind the only table, Lu Qi sat in the middle.
Lu Qi beckoned, and Huang Ming walked over silently, and before he reached the front of him, there was an invisible layer of huge force blocking Huang Ming's way.
Lu Qi waved his hand to scatter the prohibition.
Lu Bingwan saw Huang Ming at the door.
Lu Bingwan waved to Huang Ming, "Senior Brother Huang, I heard that you were in the limelight last night, so you just want to get it." ”
"Senior Brother Lu worshiped in the Lingshan Thatched Cottage to practice superior alchemy, and Senior Sister Tang Si accompanied him, Huang is much inferior."
Lu Bingwan was waiting for a greeting, and Lu Qi said to Lu Bingwan with a smile: "You kid, you came to smash my door before dawn, and you haven't chosen a single enlightening exercise until now, do you want me to throw you out?" ”
"Let's go, let's go." In fact, Lu Bingwan had already chosen the enlightenment exercises, but he just wanted to borrow a little more as a reference, after all, if he wanted to come in again, he didn't know that it was the Year of the Monkey.
Watching Lu Bingwan skillfully slide down the ladder and run down the third floor with an ancient book in his arms, Lu Qi was surprised, and showed a thoughtful look, patted Lu Bingwan on the shoulder twice, bounced away some of the old ashes on the bookshelf, and scolded with a smile, "You little slippery head is not shallow." ”
The selected exercise method is one of the 14 Qi Induction Gong methods handed down by the orthodox Taiqing Shangzong.
Whether this book can be selected depends on chance, which is a big secret that only Lu Qi and the main and deputy masters know.
There were only two people left, Lu Qi and Huang Ming, on the third floor, so Lu Qi didn't even bother to open the ban.
"Brother Pomegranate's master has an old relationship with me, and Li Jige has a deep friendship with me for a long time."
Huang Ming smiled bitterly: "The seniors have something to say. ”
Although Tangerine is in the Lingshan Thatched Cottage, he has no intention of coming up from the ground at all, as Tangerine Gardenia said, the imitation of the Lingshan furnace in the Broken Bridge Collection cannot be compared with the deity at all, and the hearth is opened at home, and it will not exceed one day per month, after all, there are so many spirit beads consumed, and each hour must be counted in hundreds.
And there will be no such restriction here, the temperature of the natural hearth is much higher than that of the own hearth, the key is that the fire spirit is abundant, and after a little refining, it can be condensed into silk. According to my aunt's calculations, it will take three years to forcibly refine the last qi to become a genius, which happens to be the day when the next core disciple will go to Uchizawa.
The core disciples elected last year are about to embark on the journey to Uezawa, and his brother-in-law Kui is not among them when he goes to Beijing.
Thinking of Kui going to Beijing, he somehow thought of the Huang Ming he met in the early morning, and Tang Xi, who was sitting not far from the stove, frowned, and the fire that was going to condense involuntarily dispersed.
What else can a two-trick peer have? As long as I can come out of Neize alive and enter the Rank Period, which of them will still be my master?
At this point, Tachibana was no longer distracted, and a almost invisible bead was projected from between his eyebrows, which seemed to be a real thing, and it was like an illusory gas, slowly rolling, absorbing the surrounding fire aura.
If Zhuo Zhuo is here, he can recognize this thing at a glance.
Lu Bingwan returned to the cottage satisfied, and while Old Man Dong had not returned, he hurriedly returned to his residence with the Fuyao book.
When dealing with Lu Qi on the third floor, he asked Lu Qi which law was more suitable for him, and the other party answered the question, asking him if he wanted to go to Neize in three years, Lu Bingwan's heart was agitated, he had no idea of going to Neize, this old man asked what he was doing.
Wait, is this Lu Qi testing himself?
Looking at Lu Qi's expression that seemed to be smiling, Lu Bingwan, who came to knock on the door early, nodded fiercely, and said to Lu Qi with a straight look: "Old Lu, how can you see far if you don't climb high?" I am willing to make a contribution to Taiqing's expansion of territory in Neize! ”
It is not so much that Lu Bingwan chose Fuyao Decision, but that Fuyao Decision chose Lu Bingwan. Fuyao resolutely reappeared in the library of the Banlie Hall, which means that Guo Liao, who had cultivated this divine sense, is no longer alive. Although the book with independent consciousness in the library pavilion is only the first half, it is also a method that leads directly to the dantian period. Because the book cover is white, it is easy to be recognized by Lu Qi, although he has heard the news of Guo Liao and others missing in Taiqing Pavilion in the morning, but when Lu Bingwan slipped down the ladder with this book in his hand, he still felt a little worried in his heart.
Guo Liao, as a monk in his early eighties, can afford to be a genius in the previous generation of Taiqing, but Guo Liao, who has always been innocent, is always the child who does not grow up in Lu Qi's eyes, which is exactly the same as Lu Bingwan in front of him, Lu Qi's heart is painful, so there is Na Nei Ze who asks, it is good to climb high and look far.
Although the branches are broken, the roots are still there. Fuyao is the only remaining wind attribute exercise in Taiqing Gate. And Guo Liao, who has been almost infallible in his life, never returned from Neize.
Lu Qi gave Huang Ming two choices, both of which were discussed with Li Jinyan. One is to be a closed disciple of Pomegranate, Pomegranate will teach him all his life, just to promise him that if he is in Naizawa, he will take care of the pomegranate tree; The second is to be Li Jige's nominal disciple, and the one who actually teaches the ability will be Zhuo Zhuo, and there will be no Huang Ming's name in the vein of planing Danshu, but if Zhuo Zhuo and Huang Cheng have an accident within a hundred years, then Huang Ming must enter the main meat forest and pass on the lineage of planing Danshu, as a reward, Li Jige promised to supply Huang Ming with the spiritual rice needed for practice.
Huang Ming was stunned, rubbed his chin and asked, "Master Lu, from last night to now, this is the third time I've heard you talk about this spiritual rice, since it's about yourself, I hope to tell you what the use is." ”
"Lingmi is also called half-sharp rice, although the particles are large, but the appearance is like half of the rice grains, because the dantian period can not be opened up the valley, the practice will be disturbed by the foraging, by Li Jige found this kind of spiritual rice in Neize to solve this problem, by Li Jige natal medicine jade pestle cooked spiritual rice, take a grain can not eat for a day, even the number of times out of Gong has been greatly reduced, according to Zhuo Zhuo's words, eat Jige senior brother's spiritual rice, the is fragrant. The best thing is that the spiritual rice contains a trace of aura, as for the amount of aura absorbed, it varies from person to person. ”
Huang Ming snickered, obediently, isn't this spiritual rice a spiritual bead that can be eaten as a meal! What does it mean that you have a good relationship with Ligige? Master Li Jige is your food and clothing parents! It's really going to put gold on your face.
Lu Qi saw the corner of Huang Ming's mouth grinning, knowing that it must be the carnivorous forest's winning chance, who would have thought that Huang Ming asked: "Didn't the pomegranate seniors say that there is any benefit to going?" ”
Lu Qi smiled angrily: "No, although the pomegranate's talisman is not known for its killing power in the Northern Regions, it can be used in several talismans drawn with pomegranate juice, which can be called the leader of the Northern Regions Title Period, can you pass on its mantle, what else do you want?" Lu Qi remembered something again, "I guess Xue Yi, a good old man, has already told you, that pure eye, Zhuo Zhuo's eldest disciple Huang Cheng has never been touched, it was rented from Zhuo Zhuo's private family in the secret cave of the Sect in the beginning of this year, and this is all sent to your place on the pole, do you really have the time and heart to bargain with me?" ”
"Okay, Old Lu, then I'll go and choose the exercises first, and think about how to reply to you while choosing?"
Lu Qi stretched out his left hand, and Huang Ming handed over the token.
"The rare book of the secret book of the sect is not allowed to be borrowed by outsiders who hold the token, and word of mouth is not allowed. If it is found that it is circulated privately, its own law enforcement disciples will deal with it according to the law. ”
Lu Qi spread out a secret file, took a drop of blood on Huang Ming's left and right wrists with a needle-like magic weapon, and after dropping it into the secret file, the secret file rolled into a booklet by itself, so that Huang Ming could choose the exercises by himself.
"Old Lu, please ask for advice, the migration of Egret Mountain is a collection of qi, I don't know if I am too green to have a treasure?" Huang Ming held on to the handle of the ladder before taking the stage, turned his head and asked.
Lu Qi shook his head, "Egret Mountain, as a medical sect in the Northern Regions, has indeed had a dantian mountain master sitting on the mountain in history, and then he was not satisfied with the identity of a doctor, and he was involved in Legalism and Taoism, which was a good situation, but the female mountain master disappeared in Neize at this juncture, and in less than a hundred years of effort, Bailu Mountain entered the lewd, until more than 30 years ago, the two elders of the Dantian period of the Title Sect personally went to ask their own disciple Neize about the crime of not saving him when he saw death, and after smashing the mountain, Bailushan was removed from the number of sects that went to Neize, So far, there is no Egret Mountain in the northern region. ”
"However, although Egret Mountain is destroyed, there are many people who escaped and ascended to heaven, most of them are people who were not on the mountain that day, I have never heard of this exercise you said, but as long as you are willing to spend money to find out the news, I can help you issue a reward on the second floor." Lu Qi smiled, "But you kid just chose which side, don't forget me as the introducer." ”
"What are you talking about, I am willing to send out ten spirit beads to find out the news of this book, and trouble Elder Lu to register this reward on the list."
"Okay, let's go."
Huang Ming nodded and climbed onto the first bookshelf, while Lu Qi continued to sit upright at the table, his fingers touching the flying needle magic weapon, reviewing yesterday's selection.
Before everyone dispersed last night, Kui Dengtai personally appeared, to meet the young woman who was blocked in Dongjian Pavilion by going to Beijing, according to Lu Qi's inference, the woman's mentor was the elder surnamed Liu who also betrayed the True Meaning Sect for Kui Dengtai, the Tao is not high, and the fortune is not shallow, and the two trips to Neize were saved by Kui Dengtai.
The owner of the door followed, but the woman did not recognize the kind-hearted Kui Dengtai, not only did she not appreciate it, but regarded him as a middle-aged old embryo passing by.
After all, according to the master's memories and descriptions, it is indeed very different from this middle-aged man with ordinary appearance and gray temples.
Kui was not angry on stage, but listened to the slender woman talk about practicing here, and let the embroidered pillow with the sword and weakness wait.
Liang Jun never appeared, but stood in the distance and pondered, as far as his eyes could see, just to see the scene in the forest. Back then, Kui Dengtai and Liu Xiu had heard about it in the entire Northern Regions. Liang Jun suddenly raised his head.
Kui took the stage and flicked his hand, dispersing the residual sword qi that Kui went to Beijing to leave on Liu Yuqu's body, and Liu Yuqu was unaware of it.
Liang Jun suddenly, although Kui went to Beijing to be Kui's grandson, he grew up with his grandmother, although the old lady Zhang Xuanyi betrayed the true intention sect for Kui to take the stage, but the relationship between the husband and wife was mediocre, and it was more of a dispute with Liu Xiu.
And the only son of the two, Kui Guanhe, Xiu Weiping, died at a young age with a Taoist couple in the hands of Uezawa Sanxiu, so far, going to Beijing is the only blood relative of Zhang Xuanyi, the master of the True Yi Sect of Swordsman. Although Kui Dengtai occasionally gives Kui advice on going to Beijing on weekdays, it is only a few words, and the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is extremely poor.
That is to say, Xue Yi has no brains, and after the first layer of trials, the flying sword transmission that reported to Kui Dengtai was the first to be robbed by Zhang Xuanyi, so he would send Kui to Beijing, a guy who didn't even care about the core disciple trial, to go out in person, as for what Zhang Xuanyi said to Kui to Beijing, Liang Jun can also guess the difference.
This makes sense, even if the inner disciples learn from each other on weekdays, they have never seen such a ruthless hand in Beijing, and it seems that the problem is still Zhang Xuanyi.
Since Krishshi is here, then he, the head of the sect, does not have to worry about other people's family affairs in this matter.
The woman slowly walked two steps, turned her head and asked, "Uncle, I plan to build a hut here to practice, is it feasible?" ”
Kui took the stage and looked at the woman's bloody face, and smiled: "Girl, it's okay to do it." ”
"Okay, when I hone my skills, I will naturally find that little bastard with flying swords to settle today's account, and then see who dares to stop me from seeing Kui on stage!"
"I'll see it's okay, Miss Liu, then you rest, and the old man will leave." Kui Dengtai didn't use any shrinking powers, just slowly walked out of Liu Yuqu's sight and disappeared into the night.
In a small hotel not far from Taiqing Mountain, a one-armed man sat in front of the bed, his eyes were tired, and with a slight wave of his remaining arm, the room suddenly became dark.
