Chapter 4: The Gate of Eternal Life
"Whoever comes, report your name!"
In front of the mountain gate, the two mountain guards raised their swords left and right, stopping Xiao Qi and Peng Junjie.
Peng Junjie hurriedly took off the token on his waist and presented it respectfully, taking out some broken silver in his hand. "Two senior brothers, I am Peng Junjie, a disciple of Aoki Peak, and behind me is my brother who came to visit my family."
One of them checked the token at will, and secretly weighed the broken silver, and then waved his hand with disgust: "Go in, but your brother is not a disciple of my sect, so you need to report to the elder!" ”
Peng Junjie nodded again and again: "Okay, it must be." ”
When Peng Junjie and Xiao Qi had already walked away, the disciple smiled and said: "This kid surnamed Peng has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, extremely obscene, and his head is clever, knowing that you and my brother are tired, so I have come to pay respect." ”
The other disciple just glanced at the broken silver in his hand casually, and said coldly: "This kind of thing, it's better to keep a low profile, you and I were only sent yesterday, if the deacon elders find out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain!" ”
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Peng Junjie led Xiao Qi to his residence.
Xiao Qi sighed in his heart: If he is really a disciple of the Great Gate Sect, this residence is also so good.
"Brother Qi, you rest here, I'll say hello to my own tutor first." Peng Junjie guided Xiao Qi into the house to rest.
Xiao Qi nodded, picked up a book on the wooden table, and flipped through it.
"Brother Qi, there are many places in the Immortal Gate that ordinary people can't set foot in, and I ask Brother Qi not to walk around at will." Peng Junjie explained again, closed the door in person, and then strode away with the rusty sword on his back.
After walking across a stone bridge and climbing hundreds of stone steps, you will come to a large square, which is sparsely populated at night.
However, Peng Junjie was too unlucky, and happened to meet his old enemy.
The other party was overwhelmed and directly surrounded him, and the leader sneered and teased: "Huh! Could this be the first day of my Aoki Peak, Master Peng? I heard that there is nothing in your womb, not even a single bird feather. I don't know which guy was talking nonsense, and he actually spread the news in the Immortal Gate. Why is this person so hateful, isn't this a slap in the face of Peng Dashao! ”
A person next to him quickly took over the words: "I haven't seen you for a month, Peng Dashao has become like this, isn't it because he sweated too much with those dusty women?" ”
……
A few people, each looking for a place to taunt.
Peng Junjie remained silent, not seeing the slightest irritation from him.
"Finished? Now that I'm done, don't get in the way......"
The leading disciple frowned, realizing that things were not simple. If it was the past, how could this kid be able to bear it, he had already raised his fist and started fighting.
He thought about it slightly, and then left with everyone, after all, the rules of the mountain gate are here, and it is not good to act like this.
Just when he and Peng Junjie were staggered, Peng Junjie's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. "Keep your mouth shut, I don't want to pay attention to you now, just because I have important things to do...... The person who is against my Peng Jun's masterpiece probably does not have a happy ending! ”
The disciple was about to get angry, but found that several friends around him were still talking about mocking Peng Huanhuan just now, obviously not hearing Peng Junjie's threat.
He suddenly shook his head and suppressed the anger in his heart. Today's Peng Junjie made him extremely unfamiliar, and even fearful thoughts rose in his heart.
At the summit of Aoki Peak, there is a mission hall. As soon as Peng Junjie entered the hall, all the disciples around him hugged their fists and greeted: "Senior Brother Peng!" ”
An old man walked in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "Junjie, that one is waiting for you in the inner hall!" ”
Seeing Peng Junjie disappear behind the curtain, several disciples of Aoki Peak whispered.
"What's wrong with this Senior Brother Peng, since he awakened the beast spirit, his temperament has changed greatly, as if he has changed someone!"
"You are looking for death, dare to talk about Senior Brother Peng in Aoki Peak, if someone reaches Senior Brother Peng, you will definitely not end well, and you will have to implicate us!"
"Be quiet, don't you know that the Elder of the Mission Hall has a close relationship with him......"
In the inner hall, Peng Junjie bent down and kowtowed respectfully three times before getting up to speak.
"Master, Junjie is back."
In front of him, a gray-haired old woman sat cross-legged and slowly opened her eyes, making a hoarse and shrill sound. "I heard San'er say, you offended two second-generation disciples?"
The third son in her mouth is the elder of the mission hall, and the identity of the "third son" is her junior.
Peng Junjie replied: "Let the master be annoyed, Junjie has sent the two to death!" ”
The old woman suddenly laughed, and her voice was like the cry of a wild cat. "Now I can't see through you anymore...... Since you awakened the beast spirit, your temper and personality have become more and more cold and cruel, and it may not be long before I become food for your mouth! ”
Peng Junjie's face was expressionless, but he knelt on the ground and replied: "It was the master who gave Junjie a second chance to practice martial arts, maybe Junjie will become a complete stranger, but one thing will never change." Junjie...... Always be a disciple of the master! ”
The old woman's breath floated, and a force acted on Peng Junjie's body, helping him up.
"Huh...... You don't have to be like this, I gave you that beast spirit, and I also have my selfishness, in the future, you will be my third eye in the Immortal Gate, looking for a thing, you have to work harder, don't let the deity down! ”
Peng Junjie's face showed solemnity, and he said tentatively: "May I ask what the master is looking for, maybe the disciple may not hear about it by chance!" ”
The old woman snorted coldly, and sneered again: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, what the deity is looking for is the secret book of the town gate of the Immortal Gate-the Secret Record of Immortality." With your current status, wanting to get it is tantamount to a fool's dream, this immortal secret record was created by the founder of the Immortal Gate, and he is a master of the Martial King realm. Although this secret record of immortality does not allow people to truly live forever, it is not a problem to extend their life span by thirty or fifty years. At that time, the deity will also be able to achieve the martial king, where can the nine heavens and ten lands be free! ”
When talking about this secret record of immortality, a ray of light flashed in the old woman's eyes, and you can imagine how eager she is.
Peng Junjie nodded, his master was right. Now he has the status of a second-generation disciple, although he is much more noble than those sixth- and seventh-generation disciples who have just started, there are still many people who can suppress him and can't hold his head up.
The second generation of disciples is up, there is a generation of disciples, core disciples, elders of the town gate, seven major offerings, four peak masters, two guest kings, two deputy door masters, twelve door master heirs, one door master, and the dragon Taishang who does not see the end.
He didn't know what level of secret book this immortal secret record was, but since it was a treasure of the town gate, maybe only when he became one of the heirs of the master of the sect would he have the qualifications to contact it.
However, he is not discouraged, he is extremely confident, with the black boy in his body, his speed of improving his cultivation will definitely far exceed that of others. After all, he had never heard of a beast spirit that could devour other people's cultivation!
"You go down first, the deity is tired, I hope that the next time I see you, you have reached the realm of martial arts!" The old woman waved her hand, and Peng Junjie respectfully stepped back.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qi has been in the Changshengmen for half a month, and in the past half a month, he has often wandered around the mountain gate with Peng Junjie, but he has also found a special place for the unattractive guy in front of him.
"Junjie, Brother Qi didn't expect that you would mix so well in this Immortal Sect!" At this time, the two were wandering around, and seeing the other disciples' respectful attitude towards Peng Junjie, Xiao Qi couldn't help but quip.
Peng Junjie's cheeks were slightly red, as if he was embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qi, don't make fun of the little brother, the little brother is just lucky, and this is why he has today's status." If Brother Qi entered the Immortal Gate, wouldn't he just get an elder! ”
Xiao Qi shook his head. "Junjie, you are here again, you know my temper, I never want to be tied up in one place for a long time, this kind of thing, don't say it again in the future."
The two have been getting along day and night for half a month, and the relationship has gradually become closer, and Xiao Qi really regards this boy who is one year younger than himself as his younger brother.
"Junjie, I don't know how the matter about your black boy is handled, I've been here too long, it's time to leave!" Xiao Qi opened his mouth to inquire about this, after all, the rusty sword was a birthday gift given to him by an elder at the beginning, and he always had to take it away.
Peng Junjie was taken aback at first, and then then persuaded: "Brother Qi, why worry, there are still many interesting places in this Immortal Sect......"
But when he looked at Shang Xiao Qi firmly, he sighed with a bitter face: "Hey, as soon as I returned to the mountain gate that day, I found the martial arts teaching, but he was at the critical juncture of breaking through the bottleneck, so he could only delay......"
Xiao Qi reminded: "You didn't tell him everything, did you? ”
Peng Junjie shook his head again and again. "That's natural, I reported it vaguely, only saying that there were some accidents in the process of awakening the beast spirit. The teacher also made a promise that when he breaks through the bottleneck, he will help me deal with it immediately! ”
Xiao Qi smiled: "That's good, Brother Qi is still worried that you are too casual." It is important to know that when people are outside, they must keep something, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable. ”
Peng Junjie replied: "Thank you Brother Qi for your advice, Junjie knows!" ”
Xiao Qi waved his hand and smiled: "I can't talk about any advice, it's just that I came out early and have seen more things." ”
"Brother Qi, can you tell me about your experience?" Peng Junjie suddenly asked.
Xiao Qi was puzzled: "Brother Qi's past is too mottled, if you listen to it, it may also bring you a bad feeling, so...... Do you still want to listen? ”
Peng Junjie nodded vigorously, he was so curious about what kind of experience could make a teenager under the age of fifteen so mature.
"Okay, you and my brother, Brother Qi will not hide it."
"When I was five years old, I traveled all over the world with my father and third uncle......
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Qi had already spoken for half an hour, telling most of his previous experiences.
When he talked about his mischievousness, Peng Junjie laughed; When he talked about what happened in Qianhan County, Peng Junjie was even more angry than him, his mouth was full of foul language, and he scolded the eighteen generations of Lantuye's ancestors; When he talked about his husband's miraculous medical skills, Peng Junjie's face was full of curiosity and admiration.
After talking about Xiao Qi's experience, Peng Junjie suddenly remembered something.
"Brother Qi, in four days, it will be the day when the Great River Sect will compete with my Immortal Sect disciples, Brother Qi would like to go and see it?"
Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows, thinking that since it was a competition between a generation of disciples, the participants were naturally the elites and geniuses of the two major sects, and he also wanted to fight with the geniuses and demons everywhere all the way to the north, so he was naturally happy, so he smiled and said: "This is okay." ”
The two gradually chatted about the past between the Great River Sect and the Immortal Sect, and the more Xiao Qi listened, the more interested he became, and gradually left the matter of the rusty sword behind.
"Brother Qi, I heard that there is an incomparably powerful young man among the disciples of the Great River Sect this time, who is the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Martial Disciples, it is said that he is only sixteen years old, it is simply terrifying!"
Xiao Qi asked, "What's his name!" ”
Peng Junjie replied: "Qinglan! ”
Xiao Qi grinned and muttered: "Qinglan, a good name, I just don't know if I really have this strength, I really look forward to fighting him!" ”
Peng Junjie said on the side: "Brother Qi, although that Qinglan is outstanding among the disciples of the Great River Sect, she also has to restrain all her light in front of Brother Qi!" ”
Xiao Qi gave him a brain melon and said with a smile: "You kid, if you don't learn well for a day, you have learned to flatter." In this huge southern night, there are countless geniuses and demons, how dare I be so arrogant, which is stronger and which is weak, I have to fight to know clearly. ”
Peng Junjie rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Brother Qi teaches a lesson, and what he teaches is ......."
Four days is not very long, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the day of the competition between the two major sects.
Peng Junjie explained in detail for Xiao Qi.
It turned out that this competition was to prepare for the Sun Moon City Contest a month later.
Wangcheng Dabi, that is really the gathering of heavenly pride, and the masters are frequent.
Great River Sect, Immortal Gate, Lone Wolf Sect. It is the three major forces on the periphery of Sun Moon City. Among them, the grievances between the Great River Sect and the Immortal Sect can be traced back to a territory division war forty years ago, when both sides lost hundreds of elite disciples. Since then, the disciples of the two major sects have not looked at each other, and when they meet, they will be separated from each other.
Today, the enmity between the two major sects is not as deep as it was at the beginning, but the competition between a generation of disciples has continued.
Now it coincides with the triennial Wangcheng Competition, and the gold content of this competition is much higher. Everyone wanted to work hard to make the elders of the sect notice their extraordinary, and the possibility of obtaining the qualification for the Wangcheng Grand Competition would naturally be a few points more.
The disciples of the two major sects were about to be on the same plain, and several elders from each side followed, ensuring the safety of their own disciples while acting as a judge for the competition.
The elders of the two sides beckoned the disciples to enter, and the two sides confronted each other.
Xiao Qi and Peng Junjie were mixed in a group of second-generation disciples of the Immortal Sect, looking at the dozens of disciples in the center.
"Fang Baiye, I heard that your Great River Sect has a genius, what is it called Qinglan, which one is it? Calling it out opened my eyes! The leading disciple of the Immortal Sect looked at the leading disciple on the opposite side and spoke.
Fang Baiye sneered: "Feng Qianlong, just because you are not worthy of fighting Senior Brother Qinglan!" ”
Feng Qianlong was about to get angry, and then heard Fang Baiye continue: "Senior Brother Qinglan has become a core disciple three days ago, and the qualifications for the Wangcheng Great Competition are naturally there, so how can he come to participate in this competition." ”
"Even if he comes, with your martial apprentice's sevenfold cultivation, he won't be able to move ten moves in his hands! Even I'm a moat that you can't cross! ”
"I don't want to argue with you, see the real chapter in my hands!"
The disciples on both sides were gradually excited, and they were gearing up!
