Volume 2 Edgeworth Section 33 Affection
Section XXXIII
"Then it's better for me and Biqing to go, after all, one less person is alchemy, and the output is slower, but it doesn't matter." Chen Zhen proposed.
"How can this work, there are only two senior brothers left in my Imperial Sword Sect who can refine the pill, one of you is missing, and the senior brothers may not be able to do well when they exchange for the elixir, how can they succeed in fighting with the monster without the elixir?" Liu Qingxue objected first.
"Yes, Senior Brother Chen Zhen said this, this is absolutely unacceptable. Not to mention alchemy, the course of forging sword weapons in the door is still counting on you to teach, if you go, there is one..."Zhou Shoumo also objected.
Ahh Halfway through speaking, he said something wrong, and quickly spit on the ground three times.
And hastened to follow the phrase "The bad does not work for the good spirit, and the bad does not work for the good spirit." ”
The rest of the elder monks, except for Biqing, spoke up one after another to object, and even Yin Hongsu clamored that this was not a good thing.
Li Yuntao stood in the hall below, listening to the elders refute Chen Zhen, thinking of Song Tingyu's precious appearance of the pill at that time, and then thinking of how important the pill of removing evil blood and eroding it played when it saved the life of a quick servant in Xiaoji Town, he naturally understood the importance of the pill.
With one less pill and liquid medicine, maybe the immortal master walking outside can still hold on, and it seems that he can get by. But those ordinary people who are attacked by evil beasts and demonic beasts are related to their lives.
Human life is at stake, and it is impossible to be too cautious.
Is the Edgeworth Gate already in such a tight situation? Looking at the walls, beams, pillars, and sword marks on the floor of the main hall, Li Yuntao couldn't help but be in awe of these monks of the Imperial Sword Gate, they are the transcendent ones who are really fighting with all kinds of demons and monsters on the front line, and even the demon incidents that the mortal yamen can't solve, apply for assistance from the upward, and the immortal masters of the Imperial Sword Gate are also here.
Xiaoji Town is small, located in the westernmost border of Donghuang, close to Rotherland, which has been completely deserted, and there are only more than 1,000 people in the whole city, even if you add the farmers and villagers in the villages outside the city, the total number will not exceed 3,000. A town with a high city wall and a complete system, there is not even a city god temple, usually the infestation of foreign beasts is fast, the village is strong to deal with, and the supernatural events that cannot be solved will be reported to the upper authorities for assistance.
The fact that the immortal masters of the Imperial Sword Gate were able to rush over for several days to help solve the problem in themselves shows the preciousness of the Imperial Sword Gate sect.
It is said that the immortal masters of the Imperial Sword Gate are all over the world, but who would have thought that the Imperial Sword Gate would be embarrassed to such a situation now.
Everyone said a word, and in the end, no one could convince anyone, so they had to give up for the time being.
Everyone was busy discussing who to send out to take the lead in dealing with the hidden dangers of the demon race, but they forgot to check Li Yuntao's cultivation.
In the experience they wanted to explain from this kid before, they had only been with Song Tingyu for a few days, and they might not have entered the qi stage yet, so they didn't care much.
As for Li Yuntao's arrangement, first follow the junior characters to learn the basic knowledge required for cultivation, and then go out with the master to practice for a period of time when he enters the stage of qi training, so as to expand his horizons.
The deliberations of the Shouxin Hall came to an end for the time being, and most of the elders walked out of the main hall, each busy with the things they were responsible for, while Yin Hongsu had long regarded himself as the acting master, and pulled Li Yuntao to stay in the main hall to set up the tables and chairs together, and then join the morning class of the disciples of the Little Sword Sect.
The course arrangement of the Imperial Sword Gate is to learn all kinds of cultivation related knowledge in the morning, rest for an hour in the afternoon, practice swords in the afternoon to keep up the body, and listen to the elders talk about the experience of fighting all kinds of demons outside in the evening. Generally speaking, the management is relatively loose, and there is not even a single precept hall elder, and whether or not to come to the class is completely voluntary.
After Li Yuntao and Yin Hongsu's desks and chairs were neatly arranged, Zhou Shoumo took a set of paper, pens and other materials and handed them to him one by one.
"Fu pen, also called spirit pen, the pen is made of the bamboo knots grown by Jing Xing's bamboo demon partner, and the tip of the pen is made of the tail hair of Chen Zhen's demon clan partner rhubarb, and the whole pen is refined by Qiu Ning's laying formation. Remember to take care of it when you use it. ”
"There are two kinds of paper, this brown rune paper is a special rune paper purchased from Xuanyu Pavilion, and when you are not sure about it, you should keep it for the time being and don't use it indiscriminately. These yellow ones are the yellow rune paper made by the disciples of the Lingmen when they practice, and they are the most suitable for practice, but the number is limited, so you should be cautious when using them. Zhou Shoumo patted the rune paper handed to Li Yuntao, and said earnestly.
"Senior brother is right, this is a piece of rune paper, you can buy a dozen yellow rune papers, not refining spirit runes, try to save a little. But this is still early for you, and with your current cultivation, it would be good to be able to write a rune. Next to Yin Hongsu added.
"This is demon blood, used as the base for blending spiritual ink, there is no restriction on the use of this, and it is necessary to replenish it when you run out." Zhou Shoumo handed a glass jade bottle with a wide mouth and round belly to Li Yuntao, and through the translucent bottle, he could see that the red plasma inside was about to shake slightly.
"Our demon clan partners in the Imperial Sword Gate often have competitions, and if you are injured, you go up and catch the blood that flows out, it will bleed anyway, and we will use it to practice drawing talismans to save waste. Especially Senior Brother Zhou's big wild boar, who is not very good, likes to fight the most, and contributes the most demon blood. Yin Hongsu dismantled Zhou Shoumo's platform next to him.
Zhou Shoumo's face turned slightly red: "If you are right with Qingxue's mountain monarch, how can you win it." ”
"Mountain-kun?" Li Yuntao.
"It's Senior Sister Liu's demon clan partner, a big worm. That tiger has long teeth. Yin Hongsu gestured, and the length was almost a foot.
"This can't be a saber-toothed tiger, right?" Li Yuntao looked at the length of Yin Hongsu's gesture and couldn't help but say.
"No, the mountain monarch is the bloodline of my Qixia mountain tiger, just because he has cultivated a huge demon physique, his teeth are longer, and he is not the giant tooth tiger clan on the Great Snow Mountain." Zhou Shoumo explained, and then handed a cloth jacket to Li Yuntao, on which a row of small cloth pockets were sewn, and a thumb-thick porcelain bottle was inserted in each cloth pocket, the porcelain bottle was of different colors, and the name was attached with a note on the outside.
Sunset flowers, flaming grass, cold leaves, dragon's beard needles, blood lily, ice cap flowers, forgetful juice, stench roots......
The color and pattern of each porcelain vase are different, and there are more than 20 copies in total.
"These are the materials needed to blend the spiritual ink, you keep them, and I will talk about them in class later."
"Yes." Li Yuntao clenched his fists and respectfully accepted it on a table he chose.
Handing over the things to Li Yuntao, Zhou Shoumo took out a large wooden board from the Houtang of Shouxin Hall, on which were densely nailed with many papers full of words, and used the two chairs on the main seat as legs to stand it up.
Then he turned around and began to check the contents of the paper nailed to the wooden board, and after waiting for less than a moment, the sound of messy footsteps approached from outside the hall, and the seven new generation of Edgeworth disciples came to the class together.
Seven people with a blanket on their left shoulder, a notebook and rune paper in their hands, and a small flat wooden box and bamboo branches in their right hands, everyone saw Li Yuntao, who was already waiting in the hall, they were slightly stunned at first, and walked into the lobby as usual, and each found a seat to sit down.
"Yesterday we had new disciples joining, which you all saw when you had dinner last night, and today we will officially introduce it to you, and we will be brothers in the same sect in the future, we need to take care of each other and jointly strengthen my Imperial Sword Gate."
"Yuntao, you can introduce yourself first. The rules in the door are based on seniority on a first-come, first-served basis, regardless of age, since you are the last to arrive, you are everyone's junior brother. Zhou Shoumo got up and asked Li Yuntao to introduce himself.
"Senior brothers, be polite." Li Yuntao first hugged his fists and saluted the seven 'seniors' in the hall, and everyone also returned the salute together. Then he spoke: "My name is Li Yuntao, from Xiaoji Town, Jichuan County, Landong Road, Donghuang Kingdom, twelve years old, and I have been taught by Song Tingyu Immortal Master, and now it is just one month. Now that my teacher is seriously injured and in a coma, my uncles and uncles have arranged for me to learn the basics of cultivation with you in the door, and I hope you will take care of me in the future. ”
Li Yuntao said it beautifully, these children are not so xenophobic, and they all seem a little excited because they are called senior brother.
"Senior brother is very polite, it is difficult for us to join like this." The older boy laughed.
"What is the problem, senior brother may wish to say it, so that I can also help me refer to it, if there is something I need to pay attention to, junior brother should change it." Li Yuntao was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect these little children to know how to get off the horse.
"Originally, a few of us called ourselves the Seven Sons of Edgeworth, which happened to correspond to the Big Dipper in the sky, and with the addition of junior brother, we have to reconsider a good name." The boy laughed, and the other children laughed.
It's that I'm thinking too much, how can a little kid know how to get off the horse and something. It turned out that I was thinking about the name.
Yin Hongsu, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching, laughed the most unorthodoxically: "Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death, what are you guys called the Seven Sons of the Imperial Sword, corresponding to the Big Dipper, my God~ I'm not afraid that the cowhide will blow too loudly, and there are some people in the rivers and lakes who can't see it to provoke." ”
Being laughed at by her like this, the faces of several children were a little unbearable, and they felt that they had lost face in front of the new junior brothers, but it was the little uncle who laughed at themselves and others, and they could only say in their stomachs that they were all their own people, and they couldn't beat it, just laugh, one day the name of the seventh son of the sword will be launched on the rivers and lakes.
"Senior brothers, you are too worried, there are so many stars in the sky, and there are not only the Big Dipper, and no one has stipulated how many people in a sect must count all of them into the name, I can just find one to make the name, there is no need for the senior brothers to change their names because I joined." Li Yuntao smiled and did not solve the doubts of the senior brothers.
"Yesterday when I saw my junior brother, you felt shrewd and clever, and you were really wise. I'm Chen Daniu, fifteen years this year, and I am the earliest one here, you can call me Senior Brother. The boy slapped his head and suddenly became enlightened. I couldn't help but smile and introduce myself.
"Then I am the senior sister, my name is Huang Xuemei, and I came a day later than this big stupid cow. I'm 10 years old. The younger of the seven spoke.
"Our Imperial Sword Sect, regardless of gender, is commensurate with senior brothers, where did the senior sister come from?" Yin Hongsu, who was sitting on the side, frowned dissatisfiedly and said.
"Then I'm the second senior brother," Huang Xuemei pursed her lips and muttered.
"Alas, then I won't be able to rank in the position of the second senior brother." Another little fat man sighed sadly, "My name is Xiao Lingfeng, I am your third senior brother, I am thirteen this year, and I am now a Qi and Blood Realm cultivator." ”
"You were still in the Spirit Sea Realm yesterday, and the Qi and Blood Realm that you only entered this morning, what is there to show off?" Huang Xuemei complained dissatisfied.
"Da Niu and I have long been in the blood realm." Another boy mends the knife.
"Spirit Sea Realm? Qi and Blood Realm? Li Yuntao was confused, he had never heard of these two realms, and when Cen Yuping talked to him about these cultivation knowledge, he had never mentioned these two realms. Could it be the realm after the foundation is built, but the little uncle is only in the early stage of foundation building, and it is impossible for these children to reach the realm of foundation building.
Seeing Li Yuntao's confused look, Zhou Shoumo was the teacher in charge of teaching the cultivation exercises, so he was naturally happy to solve his doubts, so he said:
"Before the foundation is built, although it is all counted as the qi realm, there are also good people who subdivide the various stages, the first entry is the qi realm, which is divided into two small stages, the feeling of qi and the qi induction, which correspond to the feeling of aura and the induction of qi into the body.
After opening the Qi Sea, he entered the Qi Cultivation Realm, which was subdivided into three stages, corresponding to consolidating the Qi Sea Spiritual Fire, penetrating the Qi veins in the body, and tempering the Qi Mansion Spirit Sea Realm.
The aura cleanses the body, the aura enters the blood, and the qi and blood open the heart to ignite the heart fire, and then cut the muscles and wash the marrow of the qi and blood realm.
Essence blood, spiritual energy into the spiritual platform, open up the heavenly mansion to ignite the spiritual platform pure fire, light up the star of enlightenment star realm.
On top of this, there is an extra small stage, that is, Sanfu has already exercised and is about to hit the peak of Qi cultivation in the foundation building. The rivers and lakes are also called pseudo-immortals or virtual immortals. It's just a loud name, once you meet a serious and extraordinary, it's nothing. ”
"Have you ever felt angry now?" In the end, Zhou Shoumo asked Li Yuntao, and then he remembered that he only cared about discussing the issue of expatriate candidates in the morning, but he forgot that everyone had gathered in Shouxin Hall to arrange for Li Yuntao, a new disciple, to live in the door, and he didn't even ask about his cultivation.
It's really a dereliction of duty, a dereliction of duty. He sighed silently in his heart.
"Back to the master, I have lit the spiritual platform pure fire, and now it is probably the Heavenly Star Realm." The corners of Li Yuntao's mouth hooked, the boys don't know how to get off the horse, you might as well try my taste.
"What?" Zhou Shoumo was stunned for a moment, but the Shouxin Hall instantly quieted down, and the little guys who were still noisy before completely shut up. The little fat man who showed off his cultivation that had just entered the Qi and Blood Realm opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
"You've only been worshipping Song Tingyu as a master for a month, aren't you, and you're in the Heavenly Star Realm? How did I not know that Senior Brother Song was so good at teaching disciples? Yin Hongsu's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Yuntao incredulously, constantly looking up and down, as if he wanted to see this person through from the inside.
Dereliction of duty, great dereliction of duty. Such a cultivation genius, we almost ignored the past.
Zhou Shoumo looked at the young man who was not flustered at all, and couldn't help but appreciate it. It is not impossible to cultivate to the Heavenly Star Realm in about one entry, this kind of Puyu cultivation realm is not nothing, and the number is not small, but in the Imperial Sword Sect, there has never been such a disciple for hundreds of years.
"It's all a coincidence and some accidents, and I can't be considered a kid, my real talent.
My innate spiritual power is different from ordinary people, when I open the qi mansion, the spiritual power rises along the meridians between the three dantians of the human body, directly rushes open the heart mansion and the heavenly mansion, and ignites the heart fire and the spiritual platform pure fire, but the two important steps of washing the tendons and cutting the marrow and practicing qi into the blood, as well as the essence and blood spiritual temperature and spiritual temperature cultivation platform in the middle have been skipped, and now I am still practicing to make up for the missing stage. Li Yuntao slowly explained.
"You know so much, Senior Brother Song only got along with you for a few days, and then separated because of the battle with the monsters, it is impossible to analyze and understand you so carefully." Zhou Shoumo's heart rose a little vigilant.
Li Yuntao clenched his fists, he knew that this would sooner or later arouse the suspicion of the elders of the Imperial Sword Sect, and he already had a draft in his heart.
"When I told you about my experience with your predecessors before, I mentioned that I got acquainted with the two great monks of Qionghua Sect in the Western Regions, and the juniors helped them a little at the dangerous moment when these two great monks were fighting with demons, and they won their appreciation.
"Elder Cen? Yue Yu Fairy Cen Yuping, the great monk of Jindan Peak. If she casually ordered a few words, it could indeed be so clear. In front of a great monk like her, instructing you, the laughing disciples before the foundation was built, is just a gesture, and it can't be regarded as exceeding the rules. Hearing Li Yuntao move out of Cen Yuping, Zhou Shoumo knew in his heart, after all, he was still a disciple of the Qionghua Sect who sent him to the Imperial Sword Gate, and if he said that he had nothing to do with the Qionghua Sect, he would attract suspicion.
"You little guy, then Fairy Yue Yu didn't plan to recruit you into the Qionghua Sect?" Yin Hongsu asked directly.
"Elder Cen has not recruited juniors, but an elder named Sun Jinxiu of the Qionghua Sect once said that if the juniors are not in a hurry to return to the Imperial Sword Gate, they can now practice in the Qionghua Sect for a period of time." Li Yuntao said.
"Sun Jinxiu? Where is the elder of the Qionghua Sect, he is the sect master of the Qionghua Sect, and he said that he would let you practice for a period of time, but in fact, it can be regarded as a disguised solicitation. You kid missed out on this great opportunity. The corners of Zhou Shoumo's mouth hooked, and he looked at the rookie disciple in front of him with complicated eyes.
"I can refuse the solicitation of Qionghuazong and come back to my Imperial Sword Gate, just to fulfill the righteousness of Xiao Song's master and apprentice, but he is a good boy with affection and righteousness." A voice floated from outside the hall, and He Xunyi and the big yellow dog, who were carrying their backs, were already standing next to a pillar outside the main hall of the Shouxin Hall.
"Let's do this for now, don't delay today's lesson." The old man left a word, and Shi Shiran led the big yellow dog to other places with his hands behind his back.
Yin Hongsu and Zhou Shoumo bowed, then coughed and cleared their throats, and began today's teaching.
"Introduce yourself and leave it after class, you can do it yourself, I have delayed a lot of hours today, teach first, since Li Yuntao is new, I will repeat the general outline of the calligraphy."
