Chapter 56: The Bodhisattva
Yang Xiu had already faced life and death, and his mood was much calmer than others. The experience of breaking through the bottleneck twice made Yang Xiu deeply understand that without perseverance, don't think about cultivating immortals.
After the roll call was completed, a total of six people died in the Tianshu Pavilion, one person was seriously injured, five people died in the Immortal Ink Sect, and no one was seriously injured. Immortal cultivators are all fighting to the death in the face of demon beasts, and it is a great luck that the seriously injured disciple can escape back.
The next step is to hand in the loot.
It seemed that they intended to compare, the two sects each set up a wooden table in the open space, Liu Kunshan and Liu Wenzhong stood behind, Lin Shuangchen and Ouyang Jianqing stood on both sides, and looked at the disciples who asked their disciples to hand in the results of this experience one by one.
"Immortal Mo Sect Wu Cen, half a fire spirit grass. ”
"Tianshu Pavilion Jiang Sanshui, a nameless animal skin. ”
"Xianmo Pai Suhu, a larval Yueli grass. ”
"Immortal Ink Sect ......"
......
One by one, the people of the Immortal Ink Sect got significantly more loot, and the quality was higher. When more than half of the people came down, there was already a small pile of loot on the table in front of Liu Kunshan, but there were very few in front of Liu Wenzhong.
It stands to reason that they are all new disciples, and there should not be any gap in strength, but Yang Xiu knows some inside information.
The Immortal Ink Sect cultivates the Ruthless Immortal Dao, and new disciples have to undergo rigorous training from the beginning. Among the hundred disciples with good qualifications, it would be good to be able to successfully advance to the Triple Quenching Body.
Such a high elimination rate, although cruel, has also fully trained everyone's combat effectiveness. With this current mention, it is not surprising that this situation arises.
Liu Wenzhong seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, his face was indifferent with his sleeves cagged, and he didn't look angry at all.
It was Yang Xiu's turn to be in the team, and under the gaze of everyone, Wu Kun carefully put the cloth bag and brocade box on the table.
Steadily pressing over the Tianshu Pavilion, the disciples of the Immortal Ink Sect were happy, and they all sneered when they saw Wu Kun's posture. Some of them saw that Yang Xiu was in the team, and they laughed exaggeratedly.
A few nights ago, the two entourage disciples scolded by Yang Xiu couldn't raise their heads, which made Ouyang Jianqing's face turn pale, and everyone had already hated Yang Xiu, how could they let go of this opportunity to ridicule.
Liu Xian was the first to be unhappy, and pointed at the other party's nose and scolded: "What are you arguing about, what are you talking about when you take half a fire spirit grass?" ”
Everyone in Tianshu Pavilion also scolded one after another, Yang Xiu himself is good at making friends, and he has a good reputation in Tianshu Pavilion, the other party laughs at him in person, where can the young man bear it, for a while, the field is noisy, so it is not lively.
Liu Wenzhong didn't say a word, and slowly put his hand into the bag, and when the pale golden leaves were revealed from the mouth of the bag, Liu Kunshan's eyes next to him were fixed, and the noise was much quieter.
When Liu Wenzhong took out the second Pure Yang Grass, no one on the Immortal Ink Sect's side made a sound, but it was Liu Xian's turn to laugh twice with everyone.
"Yes, the age of the medicine is too small, and the one who guards the herb should only be a small water rope snake, but it is already rare. Liu Kunshan's bald head shone in the bright light of the torches, and his face was expressionless when he spoke, not knowing whether it was really praise or ridicule.
Liu Wenzhong didn't hear it, put away the spirit grass, and opened the tightly closed brocade box. The moment he saw the snake gallbladder in the box, Liu Wenzhong finally showed a smile on his face, and said to Liu Kunshan: "Senior, you give the palm eye, see if the year of this snake gall is 100 years?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Kunshan's face turned extremely dark, and he glanced at the dark red snake gall, not to mention this anger in his heart: he just said that they were all small snakes, and the other party took out a snake gall that was more than 100 years old, isn't this a slap in the face!
At this time, the disciples of the Heavenly Book Pavilion were completely raised their eyebrows.
Two pure yang grasses, and a hundred-year-old snake gall, all the trophies of the Immortal Ink Sect are not worth these two things together~
Everyone was excited, looking at the discouraged faces of the people of the Immortal Ink Sect, not to mention relieving their anger.
Disciples with a heart have already noticed that the last few times the limelight of the Heavenly Book Pavilion has overwhelmed the Immortal Ink Sect, it seems that Yang Xiu has participated. Among the disciples of the two sects, Yang Xiu has invisibly been crowned with the title of "Immortal Ink Sect Buster".
As soon as the pure yang grass and snake gall came out, the subsequent loot could no longer attract everyone's attention. The small trophy display ceremony soon ended with the triumphant laughter of the disciples of the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
......
After nightfall, all the disciples were very tired and went back to their rooms early to rest.
Yang Xiu, who was meditating and cultivating on the bed, opened his eyes and saw that Liu Xian on the other side was already asleep, so he got out of bed lightly and left the room and came to the deck of the Lingzhou.
The four sides of the spirit boat were brightly reflected by the torches, Yang Xiu condescendingly observed, confirmed that there was no one around, and then couldn't wait to take out the white pendant he got during the day, and observed it carefully, the expression on his face kept changing, obviously very shocked.
How did this stuff end up here?
The white pendant is the size of a walnut and is flattened, and the carving on it is a female Guanyin with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, meditating and pinching tips, and the shape is nine points similar to things on earth.
Guan yin!
How can there be Guanyin Bodhisattva in this world!?
Unlike the earth, this world does not have those ancient Chinese myths and legends, and the mortals of the world do not worship and yearn for the gods and Buddhas, but the immortal cultivators who can be seen and touched.
Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Zhenyuan Daxian...... These mythical figures simply do not exist in this world.
In the ancient temple where Yang Xiu rescued Huzi before, the statue of the god worshiped in it was also a certain immortal cultivator of Shanyin City, not a father-in-law of the land.
But what's going on with this pendant in your hand?
Perhaps this is the unique culture of the barbarian aborigines, and the human civilization of the Green Basin has no intersection with these people, so no one has heard of it.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, the figure on the pendant is not a bodhisattva at all, but the shape of a certain immortal cultivator.
There were too many possibilities, but they couldn't erase the doubts in Yang Xiu's heart. Yang Xiu faintly felt that he had touched the edge of some huge secret, but he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.
The only way I can think of is to wait for my cultivation to be high enough in the future, and then go to the aboriginal tribe in the wilderness to find out.
But how many secrets are still hidden in this world?
......
After a night of silence, the Lingzhou set sail again early the next morning and continued northward.
This trial was just a small test, and in the next half a month, the spirit boat landed several times, and each time the disciples had to come out of the nest and explore the surrounding wilderness.
The further you go, the stronger the monsters you encounter. However, Liu Wenzhong also offered a reward, as long as you go far enough and persist long enough, there will be a rich reward.
The strength of Yang Xiu's team is average, but Wu Kun is experienced and mature, Lu Tiantu's strength is not bad, and with Yang Xiu's encyclopedia, there is no danger every time he returns smoothly.
More than a month flew by in the blink of an eye, and nearly thirty-three disciples were lost, and the remaining thirty disciples had gained real experience. Compared with the ignorant excitement at the beginning, everyone's face has a more calm temperament.
The trials of life and death, blood and tears, are incomparable to staying in the mountains and meditating and cultivating. In just one month, the cultivation of these disciples will not make significant progress, but the chances of success when breaking through the bottleneck in the future will be greatly increased.
Yang Xiu's team was very lucky, Wu Kun and Lu Tiantu were solid, plus Yang Xiu secretly protected Liu Xian and Zhang Wan, and it was rare that there was no attrition.
After this trip, everyone received at least two hundred spirit stones, plus two pure yang grasses were worth a lot of money, and no one could get the reward of two fire spirit pills, which was the envy of others.
The spirit boat went all the way north, and human tracks slowly appeared in the scenery below. Smoke-filled villages and neat fields replaced the gray swamps, and everyone's mood was relaxed.
In the past month or so, I have been facing killing and death for more than a month, and I am very nervous and vigilant every day, and my mood is solemn. Now leaving the Great Wilderness, it seems that there is a sweet smell in the air, and all the disciples have come out of the room and poured onto the deck, admiring the exotic scenery in all directions.
As the spirit boat moved forward, the scenery below gradually changed from the town and fields to the mountains and forests, and an hour later, the sun set in the west, and a majestic mountain peak finally appeared in the field of vision.
There is only one main peak in this mountain, which is extremely wide and wide, and from a distance, it looks like it lies between heaven and earth, and it is extremely majestic.
The upper part of the mountain is shrouded in mist, and the lower part is covered with lush greenery. Several waterfalls of different sizes fell from mid-air, and disappeared into the woods like white practice, which was extremely beautiful.
And if you look closely, there is a golden light hidden on Fanjing Mountain, which shines in the clouds. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, there were people who had attained the Tao to sit here, adding a bit of light and dusty artistic conception to the already rich aura of Fanjing Mountain, which was very beneficial to cultivating immortals.
"This is Fanjing Mountain,"
Yang Xiu looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and sighed to Liu Xian on the side: "At such a distance, you can feel the pure aura floating in the mountain, it is really a blessed land." ”
Liu Xianshen nodded approvingly, his round face was full of longing: "The No. 1 Immortal Cultivation Holy Land in Ningguo is really worthy of its reputation~ If you can cultivate here for a few years, are you still worried that you can't break through the quenching period?"
All the disciples looked curiously at Fanjing Mountain in the distance, whispering, Liu Wenzhong and Lin Shuangchen also stood on the bow of the boat, their faces relaxed. A moment later, several sword rays appeared in the direction of Fanjing Mountain, and they flew towards the Lingzhou from a distance.
Seeing this, Liu Wenzhong and Lin Shuangchen immediately flew up, converged with the people of the Immortal Ink Sect in the air, and greeted the comer.
At this time, the sky is clear and the view is excellent. Yang Xiu looked around, and there were many huge flying objects in the air gathered in Chaofanjing Mountain, all of which were from the Immortal Cultivation Sect from all over the Ning Kingdom.
"Yang Xiu, look, what is that!" Liu Xian suddenly exclaimed.
"Damn, it's such a big king, eight!" Yang Xiu turned his head and blurted out.
Looking in the direction of Liu Xian's finger, on the east side of the spirit boat, a huge spirit beast was floating in the air!
The spirit beast looked like a huge sea turtle, larger than the spirit boat under everyone's feet. The huge head is covered with scales, and there are two slender whiskers on each side of the mouth. It was the first time for everyone to see this kind of spirit beast, and they all exclaimed.
Lin Shuangchen came back from negotiating with the other party at this time, and just heard Yang Xiu screaming, frowning slightly: "Yang Xiu, don't talk nonsense." It was one of the mountain protection beasts of Yulingzhai, the Qiyun Dragon Turtle, and its lifespan was already more than twelve Jiazi. ”
Yang Xiu grinned at Lin Shuangchen, and looked back at the king and eight, and his eyes were less playful and more solemn.
Twelve Jiazi, that is, more than 700 years old. The strength of the spirit beast is directly proportional to its age, and the strength of this perched cloud dragon turtle does not know how terrifying it is.
Generally speaking, after the Qi Sea Period, demon beasts can already preliminarily transform into human form, but turtle spirit beasts are a special case. Their lifespan is too long, their cultivation growth is slow, and they have to survive until the rebirth period at the earliest.
This also makes it difficult to see the human form of the spirit turtle spirit beast in the whole world, and once it appears, all of them are strong people who have cultivated to the sky.
In addition to this domineering big turtle, there are various other spirit beasts around from time to time. Some of them are like sheep and horses, stepping on auspicious clouds, pulling a huge carriage, and some sects are directly sitting on the back of a big golden bird and flying over, pulling the wind to the extreme.
The value of the spirit beast is much higher than that of the spirit boat, and the latter is not comparable to the former when it comes to fighting. Looking at it all the way like this, the strength of the Heavenly Book Pavilion in the entire Ning Kingdom can indeed only be regarded as inferior.
Lingzhou went all the way forward, and slowly entered the realm of Fanjing Mountain under the leadership of the guiding disciples. With the rich aura blowing in the face, the eyes are magnificent pavilions, mountains and flowing water, just look at this Nanshan Gate, the scale is more than ten times larger than the Tianshu Pavilion.
While everyone on the spirit boat was excited, there was a sigh in their hearts. It's no wonder that the people of Fanjing Mountain were so arrogant in their own sect last time, and they have arrogant capital. Cultivating immortals in this kind of place, the usual cultivation efficiency alone is one percent higher than that of Tianshu Pavilion.
Thinking of this, everyone inevitably has a feeling of inferiority. Liu Wenzhong stood at the bow of the boat and glanced at it, how could he not understand everyone's thoughts, it was necessary to come out and broaden his horizons, as for whether he could gain something, it depended on his personal creation.
However, seeing Yang Xiu, who was having a lot of fun with Liu Xian at the stern, Liu Wenzhong couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, shook his head slightly, and said in his heart Yang Xiu, this kid, I don't know if he really has no heart and lungs.
