Chapter 4 Van Sand
The yellow sand is all over the sky, and there is no trace of life in the sky. The only exception was that a thin and thin figure could not move forward in this endless sea of sand. This person is Zhang Zheng, who was thrown out of the cave heaven residence before.
She had been walking around this ghost place for nearly a year, and the initial respect for the cheap master had long since been worn away, only countless resentments.
If she was given another chance to do it again, although she would still choose this path, she would definitely beat the dog master first.
I don't know what kind of strange thing the floating Jingze tree in the dantian is, she is a mortal with a physical body and does not feel tired after half a year without eating or drinking.
Zhang Zheng looked up for the thousandth and first time, but there was still yellow sand with no end in sight, and even the air was boring and dry. Not to mention aquatic plants, even the scorpion insects commonly found in the desert have never seen a shadow. It's like another place of absolute spirits.
This year, she also tried to practice, but the aura here is too thin, and the speed is really not flattering, it can be said that even a drop of water a day should accumulate into a small pool, but the aura in her body can't even hold up a circle along the meridians.
Cultivation didn't work, so she simply threw herself into enlightenment wholeheartedly.
What is her word?
Zhang Zheng was puzzled, she had only been in contact with cultivation for five years, and she was unavoidable to let her memorize a practice method according to the script, but she never understood the word.
Master Cheap emphasized the importance of the Tao and that if she did not have her own path, she could not truly set foot on the path of cultivation, but he did not tell her what the Tao was and where to find it.
A hurricane burst out on the flat ground, and the unprepared Zhang Zheng was swept straight away by the wind, rolling in the air, and finally landed in embarrassment, stuffing a mouthful of sand in his mouth.
"Shaft, where to escape!"
Zhang Zheng was about to get up, when a vigorous roar almost broke her ears, and she hurriedly lay down and burrowed into the sand by the way, only half of her body was exposed.
Soon, two figures, one black and one brown, galloped past her head.
The chaser of the brown spot threw out a pagoda-like golden magic weapon, the magic weapon swirled in the air, covering the sky and the earth in an instant, the man in black could not escape, the blue light in front of him soared, but it only lasted half an hour before it shattered, the pagoda was instantly included in the tower body, and then retracted back to the original state by the man in brown back into his sleeve.
The man in brown was also exhausted at this moment, and even Yukong couldn't support it, so he had to fall temporarily, preparing to return to the sect when the aura recovered.
Fang Cai was fully focused on the fighting method, and as soon as he stood on the sand, the man in brown found that there were small insects hiding in the dark.
"Who's here?"
Zhang Zheng knew that he had been exposed, so he hurriedly crawled out of the sand and explained tremblingly: "The junior is just lost, and I don't know that the senior is here to catch the bad guy."
The man in brown looked at him like a torch, and glanced Zhang Zheng up and down, seeing that the spiritual charm around him was shallow, but the cultivation of the first layer of qi cultivation finally lightened his vigilance, but.
"As soon as you practice Qi Cultivator, how can you be in this Fansha Land?"
Zhang Zheng didn't dare to hide it with all his powers, so he had to tell the truth: "The junior was originally a disciple of a small sect in Huaiyin, and he didn't know where he entered in a panic when he was chased and killed by a demon beast two days ago, and he woke up here again."
Seeing that she was about to burst into tears, she was extremely aggrieved, "The junior thought that he was going to die here, but fortunately I met you, the senior, if it is convenient, can you give the junior a ride, the junior will be grateful to Dade and repay each other." ”
The uniform on her body at this time was already tattered, and there were a few sharp scratches on it, which was indeed in line with her statement.
The man in brown believed most of the now, this little monk should have been unlucky enough to break into a teleportation array, he is not such a ruthless monk, this place is thousands of miles uninhabited, if you let go of this child, you will probably die here.
"I am the elder of the outer gate of Wanxuanmen - Xiao Tu, it is not difficult to take you on a journey, but if you do this, I will return to the nine-fold Wanxuanmen, Huaiyin is too far away from this place, if you want, I will take you to the territory of Wanxuanmen."
Zhang Zheng was going to find a way out elsewhere, so he was naturally very happy and agreed.
Xiao Tu took the elixir, meditated for a while to recover his aura, then summoned the flying sword and prepared to set off. Zhang Zheng's cultivation was too low to even stand on the flying sword, Xiao Tu thought about it for a while, immediately made a decision, heroically sandwiched her between his arms, and galloped away.
Halfway through, Xiao Tu used two long-distance teleportation charms, and finally arrived at the gate of Wanxuanmen Mountain before sunset.
Zhang Zheng finally stepped on the solid ground, his face was so pale that he couldn't speak, he couldn't bear the nausea of wanting to vomit, and thanked Xiao Tu.
Xiao Tu caught a glimpse of her bloodless face and frowned slightly, "You girl is too weak." ”
"In three months, it will be the entrance test of Wanxuanmen, and if you are confident, you can try it out. Entering the sect can be regarded as having a shelter. ”
Zhang Zheng thanked this senior who met in Pingshui again, she knew his good intentions, but she knew that with her current qualifications, it was really difficult to enter the big sect, even if she was lucky, if she couldn't understand the Tao within a few decades, she would not be able to break through the foundation, and she would not delay the cultivation of outstanding disciples in the human sect.
Xiao Tu saw that she didn't mean that, only frowned slightly, everyone has their own experiences, and he can't force her, so he stopped thinking, but his perception of this girl has decreased a little, and she is not a good person.
After the two separated, Zhang Zheng set off to the market at the foot of the mountain. This is the area under the jurisdiction of Wanxuanmen, inhabited by many monks, and the long-term trading here has gradually formed the thriving bazaar that is now bustling.
In addition to the ten Qi Replenishing Pills issued by the sect before, Zhang Zheng only had a tattered robe on his body, and there was still a Zhu Guo that she picked up in the pocket of his clothes.
Poor and white, Zhang Zheng, who has two sleeves and a breezy wind, has just stepped into the bazaar and attracted the attention of many people, not to mention how expensive and rich the people around him are, but at least the clothes are clean and tidy, which is like her so tattered like a beggar who doesn't know where to come.
Even the vendors who used to solicit business at the entrance of the bazaar looked at each other, unwilling to come forward to talk, and they did not get a single star of reward for leading the way.
Zhang Zheng turned a blind eye to the disgust that fell on him, and walked straight towards an old man who was setting up a stall on the side of the road.
"May I ask senior, do you collect Qi replenishing pills here?"
The Qi Replenishing Pill is a big road commodity, and it can't even be rated as a pill level, that is, some small sect disciples and casual cultivators will use it, and the big sects issue at least a first-order tonifying spirit pill.
The old man raised his eyebrows, glanced at her impatiently, and saw that it was a poor and sour little girl, he couldn't help frowning, and the expulsion that was about to exit was temporarily stopped, and he said casually: "Five low-grade spirit beads, if you don't want to, you can leave."
In today's cultivation world, spirit stones are used as the common currency. The spirit stone is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the exchange difference between each product is one to one hundred, but the high-grade spirit stone is hard to find, and few monks are willing to exchange high-grade spirit stones for low-grade spirit stones. And under the spirit stone, there are spirit beads, and ten spirit beads are equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone.
Zhang Zheng knew that the Qi Replenishing Pill was really not on the table in this prosperous realm, and it was rare for the old man to be willing to buy her Qi Replenishing Pill, so he didn't dare to refuse, and immediately handed the bottle containing ten Qi Replenishing Pills to the old man.
The old man only looked at the right number and threw it into the corner of the stall, counted out five low-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to Zhang Zheng.
Zhang Zheng put away the spirit stone, with her current thin assets, she can't afford to live in a guest house with a lot of money, and she has to find a small sect quickly.
"Senior, how do you sell this map?"
Seeing that she was going to buy something, the old man's face turned slightly pale, "The cheapest one is a low-grade spirit stone, and the most expensive is ten lower-grade spirit stones." ”
Zhang Zheng had no choice but to pay for the cheapest one, and felt distressed when he thought that he had spent one-fifth of his assets in one go.
"Come to take the Wanxuanmen entrance test?"
The old man couldn't help but wonder where the monk came from was so poor, so he asked casually.
"No, I just want to add a small sect."
There are also people who come here and don't want to enter the Ten Thousand Xuanmen? The old man looked at her in surprise when he heard this, thinking that this girl's qualifications were too poor.
But......
The old man shook his head at her, sighed and said, "Then you are unlucky, if the small sect near here opens the mountain every day to accept disciples. Approaching the Wanxuanmen disciple test, these small sects have confiscated their disciples in order to avoid their edge, at least they will not recruit disciples until the Wanxuanmen disciple test is completed. ”
Wan Xuanmen disciple test, Zhang Zheng thought for a moment, which meant that she had to wait for at least three months. In these three months, food and housing are not a small problem.
The old man seemed to see her difficulties, and no one came to patronize the stall at the moment, so he took advantage of the leisure and kindly mentioned, "Wan Xuanmen specially prepared food and lodging for the monks who came to participate in the enrollment, I see that you are poor like this, go there to make do with it, if you are lucky enough to enter Wan Xuanmen, it will be a great blessing." ”
This is a good place, Zhang Zheng has no other choice, the inn in this market is the cheapest, but it is also a low-grade spirit stone for one night. Although I don't want to enter the Ten Thousand Gates, it's much better to just try it than to live on the streets.
Zhang Zheng bowed slightly to the old man gratefully, although the old man's attitude was not close, but he helped her a lot.
Follow the map all the way to the western outskirts of the market, and at the end is the inn of Wanxuanmen.
The front and back three dwellings are arranged in three figures, and the inn is more gorgeous and rich from front to back, and the last layer is even placed with a spirit gathering array.
Of course, Zhang Zheng doesn't know this.
Perhaps because it was still early, the front door of the inn was full of birds, and Zhang Zheng walked up to a monk on duty and respectfully explained his intention.
The monk was dressed in a simple gray robe, and the black card on his waist read Wanxuanmen Li Jing in white letters.
Li Jing is just an ordinary outer disciple, and it happened to be his turn to be on duty at the inn this month, whether this errand is good or not, whether it is bad or not, it depends on the time. If he could meet the nobles, it would be enough for an ordinary disciple like him to struggle for more than ten years if he leaked some benefits from between their fingers. But most of the children of the nobles came here about ten days in advance, and Li Jing was unlucky and couldn't meet it.
After all, he was a monk from Wanxuanmen, although Li Jing had regrets, he was not derelict in his duties, and dutifully introduced the scale of this place to Zhang Zheng and gave her a housing token.
Zhang Zheng has no power and no power, plus one poor and two white, the two rooms in the back of the inn are either rich or expensive to live, and the token that Zhang Zheng got is "C - two three". With this token, she can freely enter and exit her room.
Zhang Zheng quickly found the "No. 2 Three" in the room of the C-column, pasted the token on the recess on the door, and saw a wave of water, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the door.
Unexpectedly, the room that looks ten square meters from the outside is unique, more than ten times larger, but it is extraordinarily simple, except for a board bed, a set of tables and chairs and two bottles of Bigu Dan on the table and chairs, there is nothing else.
Bigu Dan is a relatively common first-order mid-grade pill, two bottles with a total of thirty pills, there are nearly three months before the disciple test, one lasts for ten days, and the time is just right.
After Zhang Zheng put away the Bigu Dan, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate carefully.
On the way here, she thought about it. Although she wants to realize the Tao as soon as possible, it is obvious that she has not touched the shadow of the Tao at all after nearly two years of wandering outside, and the reason for this should be that her understanding of the Tao is too shallow, and she still doesn't know what the Tao is, and how can she realize the Tao.
Since you want to participate in the disciple test of Wanxuanmen, why don't you try your best, if you enter, as the main sword sect of the great sect, there will definitely be classics about the Tao in its library. Sharpen the knife and cut the wood, and when you understand the Tao, perhaps enlightenment will be easier.
As for whether she will be driven out of the sect or taste all the humiliation, so what, since she came here for what she wanted, the rest is not worth worrying about.
Now that he has figured it out, Zhang Zheng decided to use these three months of penance to strive to break through to the second level of qi training, and if he can cultivate more, he will have one more chance. I really can't enter Wanxuanmen, but I can also save my life.
