Chapter 11 Iron and Bone

Mirror Realm.

Lin Chuan put his hands behind his head and lay on the roof of the Pinglan Courtyard, his long black hair scattered behind him, and there were several plates of washed fruits next to him.

The courtyard that Master left for him was just under Wenqu Peak, and when he looked up, he could see those upside-down peaks.

For the past two years, Lin Chuan has had to face the nightmarish Jue Ling Dao Yan every day, and now the boredom of not being able to feel the spirit has been swept away, Xiao Zuo is also safe and sound, he has rarely let go of all his anxiety and enjoyed this moment of peace.

Just like Lao Huang said, he didn't have any ambitions, if he wasn't worried about Xiao Zuo and didn't want to live up to his master's expectations, he wouldn't even have such a deep desire for Jueling.

In this mirror realm, everyone wants to become an immortal and live forever, but they don't live for a long time and will definitely be happy.

At least now Lin Chuan's source of happiness is that the mirror has turned into an imprint that can store items, and the storage space is not unusual, and the strange thing is that Xiao Zuo can take out the items he put into the imprint.

This is storage, this is clearly teleportation.

Lin Chuan and Xiao Zuo both know that they live in the real world of each other, and according to the theory that Xiao Zuo said, they are likely to be the same person in different parallel universes, but in Lin Chuan's opinion, Xiao Zuo is another primordial god of his own.

As long as he sent Xiao Zuo some healing pills, or small things like Bigu Dan, he could make Lin Chuan feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

It's a pity that there is no metaverse in the Mirror Xuan Realm, otherwise Lin Chuan must know that this kind of satisfaction is no different from playing cultivation games.

"Senior brother, senior brother, where are you?"

The little monk was looking for Lin Chuan with a pill bottle all over the courtyard, and in order to complete the gambling contract with Wu Tian, Master Yinian opened a furnace of pills overnight, and just after it came out, he asked Xuanjing's awakening pill to be sent over.

"Come on, there's your favorite glazed fruit."

As soon as Lin Chuan said hello, the little monk's figure flashed and appeared beside him.

"Senior brother, don't take it, you take this pill first, Senior Uncle Lu is going to open the altar in Yuling Peak and explain the Beginningless Secret Realm to us, come with me quickly, otherwise you will be late in a while."

Xuanjing threw the pill bottle into Lin Chuan's arms, pulled him up and left, and as soon as the two of them stepped out of the eaves, a huge white crane appeared at their feet, carrying them towards Yuling Peak.

……

Imperial Spirit Peak is the largest mountain in the Wuji Sect, and the dense mountain forest spreads from the mountainside to the outside of the border city, and before it is close, you can hear the roars of various spirit beasts.

The inverted hanging peak on the top of the mountain is also like a green island, and the spirit birds and rare birds in the sky are circling it.

"So many birds...... How much guano does the disciples of this Imperial Spirit Peak have to fall on their heads every day. ”

The original fairy scene suddenly became extremely vulgar in Lin Chuan's mouth, and the little monk couldn't understand why the senior brother's brain circuit was different from ordinary people.

Even the white crane under the two of them turned around and glanced at Lin Chuan with disgusted eyes.

Approaching the platform at the top of the mountain, Lin Chuan immediately quieted down, and didn't dare to complain again, Lu Youran would not get used to him because of Wu Tian.

When Lin Chuan first entered the sect, he took the little monk and Jiang Luo to Yuling Peak to steal the bird's eggs, but he was caught by Lu Youran before he could get his hands on it, but fortunately, Lin Chuan reacted quickly enough at that time, and staged a scene where his junior brothers and sisters couldn't hold him to death at all, and successfully let Xuanjing and Jiang Luo escape punishment.

But he himself was whipped with porcelain......

There are not many people on the platform at the top of the mountain, all of them are those who are qualified to enter the secret realm, and only the two positions in the front are still empty.

There is a strict hierarchy in the sect, even if Lin Chuan does not have a Jue Ling, as a closed disciple of Wu Tian, no one dares to snatch his position.

Liu Zheng was standing behind Zhang Fengnian, Qingying's slap still had some effect, otherwise Zhang Fengnian would not have brought Liu Zheng over to see the world in order to appease people's hearts.

In addition, there are several senior brothers and sisters who are at the peak of the Awakening Spirit Realm, and they also occupy a place.

This time the secret realm was opened, and there were only ten places in the Wuji Sect, except for Jiang Luo and Xuanjing, the remaining senior brothers and sisters were all demon soldiers with great achievements, and there was only one place that had not yet been determined, which was left to Zhang Fengnian and Lin Chuan.

Zhang Fengnian, no matter how bold he was, didn't dare to snatch the qualifications of the Demon Army, so he kept targeting Lin Chuan.

On the side of the pulpit, a short-haired woman in armor looked up at Lin Chuan on the white crane, and asked with some curiosity: "Is that Wu Shuai's little junior brother?" I heard that I haven't been able to realize my senses, so why did I come to the class? ”

The fat monk with a scar waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"You don't know Wu Shuai's temper, it's a big deal to go in, let's protect him a little more, after all, Wu Shuai's exploits are there, and no one can bully our little junior brother."

"Well, but if the two boys of the Zhang family make a war post, let's not get involved, the eldest brother of the family is also a great military achievement, don't hurt the harmony because of these little things."

The white-robed Confucian who looked very sassy shook his fan and said a word, and there was no sound over there, obviously everyone agreed with his idea.

They didn't have any complaints about sect disciples like Lin Chuan and Zhang Fengnian who had never been on the battlefield, because their privileges were all close to them, and they exchanged the heads of the demon clan.

The white crane sent Lin Chuan and the others to Jiang Luo's side, and deliberately fanned Lin Chuan with his wings before leaving.

Lin Chuan was not angry, but complained while holding the little monk's head: "Tsk, this big brother of your family...... The heart is so small. ”

"His name is Bai Yu, not Maiba, you can't change people's names just because they like to take a figure-eight step, Senior Brother will be angry when he comes back."

The little monk thought of his own senior brother's brain hurt, it was clear that he was practicing Buddhism, but he was always wearing a Taoist robe, and the master asked him to go to the secret realm to subdue a celestial phenomenon, and he got a white crane back, saying that this was worthy of his fairy wind bones......

"It's not just because of the eight-character step, you see someone with such a big 'eight' scar on the head of the white crane, and he looks like a ruthless person...... No, Ruthless Crane. ”

Lin Chuan, who was still comparing and complaining over there, was no better, it was all unreliable.

Xuanjing doesn't know why, obviously he is the youngest one, but he always has to worry about his senior brothers.

Jiang Luo on the side, the upper half of his face has been covered by shadows, and seeing the figure of Uncle Lu appear in the sky, Senior Sister Jiang, who couldn't bear it, slapped Lin Chuan's head with a bamboo slip, and then said "softly":

"Senior brother, after the secret realm is opened, Xuanjing and I will go to the Qihai Valley, you must be more careful when you are alone on the bank of the Jueling River, Senior Uncle Lu is about to start teaching, there is no harm in listening more."

Lin Chuan covered his head and sat down honestly cross-legged.

At the same time, a white tiger with a huge body and antlers also stepped into the air and carried Uncle Lu to the pulpit.

Lu Youran, who was holding a leather whip in his hand, was still wearing that tight-fitting animal skin coat, which set off his beautiful figure more charmingly, although he looked like he was in his early thirties at most, but Lin Chuan knew that this silver-haired beautiful woman seemed to be a few years younger than his master.

Seeing that the people had arrived, Lu leisurely said straight to the point:

"The Beginningless Secret Realm will open, and everyone here has the opportunity to enter to find their companion spirit pets, but those who can enter the secret realm are not only the disciples of my Wuji Sect, but also the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and the Great Qin Dynasty have also entered the Tianjiao.

The sect master said first, the Wuji Sect must not take the initiative to cause trouble, but also must not be cowardly and afraid, at that time, you must unite and cooperate, and you must not lose the face of my Wuji Sect in front of outsiders! ”

After speaking, Lu Youran didn't wait for everyone's reply, he jumped off the white tiger, sat on the steps like a mountain carving, and continued very unvividly:

"This time, the Beginningless Secret Realm will open two major areas: the Jueling River and the Qihai Valley, as the name suggests, except for Jiang Luo and Xuanjing, you will all enter the Jueling River, the two of you will stay for a while, I will tell you about the Qihai Valley in detail, now let's talk about the spirit beasts first, so that you can enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed."

Lu Youran said, and waved the leather whip in his hand, and with a crisp explosion, the void was like broken paper, and there was a more hollow, and seven or eight spirit pets with different expressions walked out of the hole in turn.

The spirit beasts that were still a little restless, after seeing the white tiger lying on their stomachs by the pulpit, they all honestly lined up in a horizontal line.

"Growth is the primary factor in choosing a companion spirit pet, if you can't perceive which meridian you have opened, I suggest that you choose the Xiaoyue clan in the wolf beast, loyalty, and don't shed hair, if you cultivate to the ground level, you can also use it as a mount, and walk in the air,"

Lu Youran patted the head of the huge wolf beast and threw it back into the hollow.

"Meridians?"

Lin Chuan tilted his head and asked with a puzzled expression, no one had ever said anything about Lin Chuan after the Awakening Spirit, so he didn't know what the Beginningless Secret Realm would be of greatest help to the Awakening Spirit Realm cultivators.

Lu Youran glanced at Lin Chuan, ignored his question, patted a red tiger with four claws and flames, and continued:

"Tiger beast, you can choose the Burning Flame Clan, especially those who feel that they have opened up in the Jue Spirit Realm, and after you step into the sea of qi, the Fire Attribute Burning Flame Clan can strengthen your spell effect."

The words fell, and the tiger covered in flame markings was also thrown back by Uncle Lu......

"Turtle, the Negative Mountain Clan, has a long lifespan and high defense, and if you raise it well, it can send you away, and Gen Vein is the first choice."

"Suzuka, the Arashikage clan, is very fast, docile, and it is very useful to escape, and it is the first choice for the Tatsumi vein."

"Ghost crocodile, Daze family, has an amazing bite force, is not picky, but ugly, and is the first choice for pulse."

……

The strange beasts were honestly like specimens, and they were all thrown back by Lu Youran after being displayed.

"These are my personal suggestions, and there are three types of companion deeds, which are symbiosis, employment, and servitude. Don't choose a symbiosis spirit pet lightly, because symbiosis is the highest level of companion contract, and it can only be concluded once in a lifetime.

The employment contract can be concluded three times, although there is no limit to the enslavement contract, but the small soul beast will fight back, so I personally recommend that everyone choose the employment contract, of course, what kind of spirit pet to choose in the end depends on your respective fate. ”

After Lu Youran finished speaking, he took out an animal skin bag from his back, shook off all kinds of musical instruments, and more than a dozen bamboo slips.

"These instruments are all needed to sign a contract, when you sign a contract, you have to play music to the beginningless world, but there is no requirement for the level of the rhythm, as long as you can make the movement, you can come and choose one to bring, even if you can't enter the secret realm this time, you can use it next time, this bamboo slip records the rules of the beginningless secret realm, one volume per person, and it cannot be passed on."

After speaking, Lu Youran waved his hand and rolled up Jiang Luo and the little monk, and led them to the inverted hanging peak overhead.

Lin Chuan, who was the closest, walked over slowly, and found that there were really many styles of musical instruments, such as suona, huqin, and even two chimes that had been removed.

Zhang Fengnian, who came over, picked up a flute in front of Lin Chuan, and said provocatively:

"Senior brother, there's no need to choose, after all, you haven't realized the spirit yet, this secret realm, even if you want to, you can't enter it."

Lin Chuan frowned and glanced at Zhang Fengnian, pointed at him and asked the white tiger lying on the side, "This is the food you brought?" ”

The white tiger raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Chuan, shook the antlers on his head boredly, and said in a sullen voice:

"No, King Lu won't let me eat people."

Before Zhang Fengnian could speak, Lin Chuan hurriedly said: "He is not a person, he weighs 150 catties, 140 catties are backbones, and the remaining ten catties are heart-eyed." ”

Seeing a glimmer of interest flashing in the white tiger's eyes, Zhang Fengnian didn't dare to say anything cruel, and quickly picked up the flute and bamboo slips and left the place.

"Your heart and eyes are not small, remember to send me a few sweet and sour Arowana from Gluttonous House when you look back."

The white tiger got up and shook his head, rolled up a big animal skin drum and a roll of bamboo slips with his tail and threw them into Lin Chuan's arms, got up and walked down the peak.

Lin Chuan looked up at the inverted hanging peak above the clouds, and hurriedly caught up with the white tiger with a big drum and bamboo slips:

"Brother Biao, don't be in a hurry to leave, take me for a ride, and I'll send you a few more Arowana over when I turn around."

The white tiger glanced back at Lin Chuan, rolled him up with his tail angrily, and stepped on the void to go down to the Imperial Spirit Peak, but not everyone is qualified to sit on Brother Biao's back.

After being thrown back to the Pinglan Courtyard, Lin Chuan immediately unfolded the bamboo slip and carefully began to read the rules of the secret realm recorded on it, which were all recorded by the forerunners of the secret realm at the cost of their lives.

Although he scared Zhang Fengnian away with Brother Biao's tiger threat today, Lin Chuan knew that he would not give up, and it was always right to make more preparations, not to mention, he was also very curious about the relationship between the companion spirit pet and the meridians.

But when he saw the dense small characters on the bamboo slips, he suddenly felt that his head was big, and he subconsciously wanted to ask Xiao Zuo to come out for help.

But thinking that Xiao Zuo was not out of danger yet, he could only honestly pick up the bamboo slip and look at it.

[Rule 1: There is no bamboo forest around the Jueling River, if you find yourself in the bamboo forest by mistake, you must not look up. 】

[Rule 2: There are no dragon beasts in the territory of no beginning secret, if you find traces of dragon beasts, you must choose to escape as soon as possible. 】

[Rule 3: If you see any creatures with rabbit ears, including humans, don't talk to them.] 】

……

……

[Rule 17: The Jueling River has no tributaries, no source, and no end, if you find a tributary, look for purple daylilies around as soon as possible.] 】

[Rule 18: There is only one moon in the realm of no beginning, and the moonlight is silver, if you find that the moonlight turns red or the number of moons is wrong, you must stop absorbing aura.] 】

After reading these eighteen rules, Lin Chuan felt that his head was two laps bigger, this beginningless secret realm was too weird, and many rules made him unable to understand.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan saw the information related to the meridians at the end of the bamboo slip.

Although the master hadn't told him about the aftermath of Jueling before he left, with Jiang Luo's "encyclopedia" there, he had already understood the direction of his cultivation in the future.

After the monk realizes the spirit, he must strive to open up a meridian, so that the spiritual energy can enter the divine platform in his mind from the dantian, so as to step into the sea of qi.

This meridian is random and cannot be actively selected, there are a total of eight meridians in the normal human body, the Taoist gate is named according to the eight trigrams, the Buddhist gate is named according to the eight treasures, and the Confucianism is the eight virtues.

Although the names are different, the attributes actually represented are the same, such as the Limai, which is the fire attribute, the Xun vein, which is the wind, and the Kan vein, which is water......

After the Great Qin Dynasty unified Kyushu, the Emperor of the Kai Dynasty, Qin Wusheng, unified weights and measures, and also unified all the names related to cultivation, and finally named the eight meridians of the human body after the eight trigrams.

Only when the monk stepped into the sea of qi and broke through the veins in the shrine with his aura could he know what the first meridian he had opened was.

In addition to the companion spirit pets, the biggest advantage of entering the beginningless secret realm is that you can perceive the attributes of the first meridian in advance in the spirit realm.

This is also the reason why the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and the Great Qin Dynasty care so much about the quota of the secret realm.

"Smack!"

Lin Chuan was pondering the strange rules of the secret realm, and the back of his head was patted, and before he could react, the bamboo slip in his hand was taken away by Qingying.

"Tsk, that old woman is quite careful, I thought you were stealing some good things." Qingying glanced at the bamboo slips, then threw them aside with disgust, and handed Lin Chuan a delicate bag:

"You just know these rules in your heart, don't worry too much, if you really fall into a desperate situation, burn the things in this bag, and then the master will take you out."

"Thank you, teacher...... Mother. ”

Lin Chuan still couldn't accept the title of Shi Niang, but he couldn't refuse Qingying's kindness, so he could only take the bag very awkwardly.

Qingying rolled her eyes angrily, picked up Lin Chuan's back collar and threw him into the open space in the middle of the courtyard.

"Don't think that the old lady doesn't know that you have been secretly learning my instantaneous steps, you have been studying for two years and have not yet started, today I will train you for your master, so as not to embarrass the old lady."

As soon as the words fell, Qingying instantly appeared behind Lin Chuan and wrapped him around him with his big fluffy tail.

The crimson veins began to climb up Lin Chuan's calves, and soon, those veins seeped into his legs, controlling the aura in his body to start running in a special way.

Lin Chuan took an uncontrollable step.

"Bang!"

In the next second, he only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and there was an additional humanoid mark on the wall of the courtyard......... It wasn't until this moment that his figure left in place slowly dissipated.

Although he was hit badly, Lin Chuan completely remembered the way the aura operated when using instantaneous steps, and he ignored the blood gushing out of his nostrils, and rushed to Qingying's feet with an accelerated slip knee, hugging her thighs and saying excitedly:

"Master! From now on, you will be my mother! ”

"Hmph~Let's go and practice with peace of mind~"

Qingying raised her chin arrogantly, and her face flushed into the shadows.

……

Throughout the afternoon, he could hear the sound of impact coming from the Pinglan Courtyard, and after feeling the extreme speed of the instantaneous step, Lin Chuan couldn't help but immerse himself in the pleasure of transcending the limit.

It wasn't until the afterglow on the horizon was about to dissipate that Lin Chuan completely lost his strength and lay on the ground on all fours.

"Senior brother! What's wrong with you, brother!! ”

As soon as the little monk entered the door, he saw Lin Chuan, whose clothes were broken, lying in the middle of the courtyard, so frightened that he directly threw away the chime in his hand and ran over.

"It's okay, it's okay......... If you shake me again, something will really happen. ”

Lin Chuan had no strength at all, the whole person was like a noodle and was shaken out of several bends by the little monk, this kid didn't have any understanding of the strength of his Qi Sea Realm, if he really shook it again, Lin Chuan was really about to fall apart.

"Senior brother...... Yes!!!! ”

Jiang Luo, who heard the little monk's exclamation, thought that Lin Chuan had something to do, so he subconsciously wrote the word "royal" in front of him, and came through the wind.

The clothes on Lin Chuan's body had already become tattered because of the practice of instantaneous steps, and when the wind blew it, he only felt a chill in his crotch, and then he heard Jiang Luo's screams......

……

……

Speaking of which, it is indeed no wonder that Lin Chuan is not wrong, there is nothing wrong with cultivating in his own yard.

However, no matter how dull Lin Chuan is, he also knows that now is not the time to be reasonable, because he is afraid that Jiang Luo will talk to him about physics, and the word "reason" in "convincing people with reason" that Confucianism has always adhered to has always had a different meaning.

Lin Chuan gave the little monk a look, asked him to keep Jiang Luo, who was still steaming on his head, and dragged his tired body back to the house to change into new clothes.

When Lin Chuan came out, Xuanjing put all the nuts and snacks in the Buddha beads he received yesterday on the stone table in the pavilion, and carefully comforted Jiang Luo.

But as soon as she saw Lin Chuan's figure, Senior Sister Jiang, who had just been a little calmer, immediately turned her head away.

Lin Chuan's few steps were like walking on the clouds, he couldn't use any strength, and finally moved to the side of the pavilion, and his knees were weak and he fell directly to Jiang Luo's legs.

"Get up...... A man has gold under his knees, what kind of body does this look like? ”

Jiang Luo misunderstood Lin Chuan, and thought he was apologizing.

Lin Chuan felt that the world in front of him had lost its color, he just had no strength, and he had only knelt past Wu Tian alone in this life...... The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, Lin Chuan's heart was crossed, and he lay directly at Jiang Li's feet, and said in a broken jar: "I'm sorry!" ”

Seeing his scoundrel appearance, Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the bamboo slip, and asked very calmly:

"Are you sure you can't get up?"

Lin Chuan's scalp was numb, and he felt an obvious dangerous aura, but the atmosphere had already been baked here, if he lowered his head and admitted his mistake, his senior brother's shelf would no longer be able to stand.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan gritted his teeth, stiffened his neck, and shouted very hard:

"That's right! Sorry! ”

Xuanjing silently gave a thumbs up, his senior brother is really "iron-clad"!
