Chapter 7: The Wind Tunnel

The Qinglian Sword Sect stipulates that the outer disciples must complete the tasks issued by the three general affairs halls every year, otherwise they will be deducted.

If you fail to complete the task for ten consecutive years, I'm sorry, the sect can only "ask" you to go down the mountain.

The tasks of the general affairs hall are not dangerous, but they are a little complicated, making fairy clothes, cutting down spiritual wood, doing some handicrafts, repairing the sect's buildings and other miscellaneous tasks.

But there are also some special tasks, such as smelting ore, driving away the demon beasts that wander near the sect, and clearing the rogues near the sect to ensure that mortals can successfully arrive at the sect to apprentice.

There are even sect elders who issue food rewards, and even immortals have a desire to eat.

There was once an elder who found a delicious food in the Gudong Mansion, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the food, and was almost killed by the aura accumulated in it for thousands of years.

And these five-star difficulty tasks are some old problems left over from the years, if you want to deal with them, the time and effort outweigh the losses, so you can only hang high and let it be.

Shen Bao persuaded: "Senior brother, don't be reluctant, even if you can't complete it, at most you will be punished, but your life is still important!" ”

"Thank you for the warning, the junior brother will not joke with his life." Wei Yan replied solemnly.

Shen Bao nodded, muttered and left: "In the future, you have to keep a low profile, don't be targeted like a junior brother, this will delay your cultivation a lot." ”

When Wei Yan heard this, he smiled bitterly.

Reopen the scroll and be tasked with guarding the Wind Cave for a total of six months.

It seemed quite simple, but due to the cold and biting wind blowing from the entrance of the cave, the surrounding monks could not cultivate in such an environment, and many outer disciples were reluctant to take on this task.

The sect once sent people to investigate, the Yin Wind Cave is a natural formation of the heaven and earth Gangfeng, and the other exit is connected to the outside world, the sect once wanted to block both sides with a prohibition, but the prohibition was quickly eroded.

A large number of stones were used to block the sides, and the wind eroded another cave.

Later, it was found that the Yin Wind had the effect of quenching the body, and its location was remote, which had little impact on the sect, and the Yin Wind Cave was retained.

Then send outer disciples to guard here, if a disciple comes to quench the body, the spirit stone handed over belongs to the guarding disciple, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

It's just that very few disciples can endure the yin wind and erode the bones, and they may not be able to come once in half a year.

"Senior brother!" It was Mo Yanxiao's voice, Wei Yan raised his head, and Mo Yanxiao came with a sword on his face.

Wei Yan smiled and asked, "Why is Senior Brother so happy?" ”

Senior Brother Mo said excitedly: "Master Venerable has been rid of many years of scabies, and he is ready to impact the Yuan Infant Stage!" ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Wei Yan was also a little surprised in his heart, if Elder Liu succeeded, wouldn't he have a big backer in the future? At the beginning, Elder Liu promised to take him as an apprentice.

When Mo Yanxiao saw the scroll in Wei Yan's hand, he couldn't help but say that he had taken it, and after a while, he said abruptly: "As soon as I saw the master retreat, this group of people couldn't help it?" ”

"That Yin Feng Cave is not a good place, junior brother should not go."

Wei Yan smiled faintly: "Why don't you go?" Not only do I have to go, but I also have to return to the martial arts hall every month to test my cultivation, as they wish. ”

"It's just right, it's time for me to practice swordsmanship, the disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect don't know swordsmanship, and it's a joke to say it."

Mo Yan smiled and said suspiciously: "Isn't this delaying cultivation?" Besides, your qualifications aren't good. ”

Wei Yan was afraid that Mo Yanxiao would blow his brain again, so he hurriedly explained his plan.

I really plan to practice swordsmanship, and I can't waste the Vientiane Invisible Sword.

And there is a cave Xuan Fu, his cultivation speed is extremely fast, he is really not afraid of delaying for half a year, of course, this can't be said to Senior Brother Mo, just that he has a solution.

"Since the junior brother has his own plans, it would be good." Mo Yan smiled helplessly.

Wei Yan said: "That senior brother should be optimistic about the Dragon's Tooth Valley, I have been in business for two years, and I can't let them mess up the mess." ”

Mo Yan smiled and pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "I will!" ”

"That's good." Wei Yan grinned, "Senior brother should also be careful. ”

"I didn't expect that Xiao Douding back then has grown up and can still be on his own." Mo Yan looked at Wei Yan with a smile and sighed in his heart.

When they first met, Wei Yan was a beggar who was about to starve to death, and his unwilling eyes made Mo Yan smile and save him like a god.

Wei Yan said inexplicably: "Senior brother, is there anything wrong?" ”

Mo Yan smiled back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "I remembered the scene when you and I met." ”

"Huh." Wei Yan was embarrassed, at the beginning of the crossing, he was about to starve to death, so he had to ask Mo Yanxiao for help, grabbed Mo Yanxiao's robe, and refused to let go.

It's a shame to look back on.

After all, Mo Yanxiao is an elder disciple of the Torture Hall, and the General Affairs Hall does not have the right to target Mo Yanxiao, so he can only take Wei Yan to be angry first.

Wei Yan asked curiously, "That Elder Duanmu is from the General Affairs Hall?" ”

"No, Duanmu Hao is an elder of the Sword Casting Hall."

"Then why is the general affairs hall in trouble?"

Mo Yanxiao explained: "The junior brother still doesn't know the inheritance of master and apprentice in the sect and the inheritance of the family, right? ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Qinglian Sword, the power was weak, so they invited the family lords of Shushan to jointly establish a faction.

The family gate valve originally wanted to be false and wronged, and slowly plotted the inheritance of the Qinglian Sword Sect: Taibai Divine Sword.

I never thought that Qinglian was also generous, and directly accepted the family as an apprentice and taught the Taibai Divine Sword.

On the contrary, the people of the family deeply felt the high style and brightness of the Qinglian monks, and they took the initiative to leave the family, unwilling to hand over the cultivation method of the Taibai Divine Sword.

Although the family's vitality is greatly damaged, it has a profound heritage and still firmly occupies the key authority of the sect.

The real power halls such as the Sword Casting Hall and the General Affairs Hall are all in the hands of the family.

At the beginning of the establishment of Qiyunlou, it was also to get rid of the dependence on the family, and the Torture Hall, the Yanwu Hall, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion were in the hands of the master and apprentice inheritance.

Alchemy Hall, you say? Neither side loves!

"So it's so complicated?" Wei Yan sighed, sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

"In fact, the family is also beneficial to the development of the sect, for example, the casting skills of the Sword Casting Hall are only inherited by some families." Mo Yan smiled helplessly.

Wei Yan nodded, indicating that he understood, the high-level just wanted to maintain a state of competition, so that people on both sides could make progress, which would be beneficial to the entire sect.

But sometimes, it is inevitable that there will be some indiscriminate means, adhering to the principle of "since I can't catch up with you, then destroy you!" The problem can be simplified.

"Huh!" Wei Yan thought about the cause and effect, no wonder Elder Liu would be targeted.

After he packed his things, he stepped on the flying sword, and before leaving, he said, "Take good care of Hanamaki!" ”

"Got it!"

……

The Yin Wind Cave is located in the southwest of the territory of the sect, in the canyon, the yin wind is gusting, the entire canyon is very desolate, and even the stones are stained with a layer of gray color.

It was difficult for the light to shine into the canyon, and it was dark and damp, which made Wei Yan feel uncomfortable.

When the two outer disciples on guard saw the visitor, they were surprised and asked, "Why are you alone and your companion?" ”

"I'm the only one!"

"What's going on in the Shuwu Hall?"

The two of them were wearing heavy cotton clothes, but they couldn't resist the cold wind, their faces and lips were white, and they shivered.

"Then we don't care about you, stay in this hellish place, your bones will be crispy!"

"I'm going down the mountain to soak in the hot springs!"

"Go together, go together!"

The two scolded and left, leaving Wei Yan alone to guard the Yin Feng Cave.

He looked curiously into the Yin Wind Cave, which was dark and gloomy, as if it could devour everything.

Wei Yan retracted his gaze, the big black hole, there was nothing to see.

"It's been six months of intermittent life!"

He looked for a big stone that could block the yin wind, meditated cross-legged, and used his mana to resist the cold.

"It's cold!" The yin wind brought a biting chill that made Wei Yan unable to concentrate on cultivation.
