At the foot of Yaofeng Mountain, everyone dispersed, and only a few people from the Seven Xuanzong were still waiting.

Now they have learned from the mouth of the sword slave in the lower mountain that Ye Chong and Lu Shan passed the assessment together and became disciples of Dantang.

Therefore, each of them was happy.

It didn't take long for them to see Ye Chong and Lu Shan, coming side by side.

Several people from the Seven Xuanzong were already excited, and immediately ran forward.

"You guys are amazing!" Shui Xi'er exclaimed with a smile.

"Alas, it's a pity, I thought that only Ye Chong could pass the assessment, but I didn't expect Fat Lu to pass the test, it seems that this assessment is actually not difficult, I knew that I would also try. Qu Yao had a sighing and regretful expression, and his bright eyes were full of excitement.

Lu Shan immediately smashed his fist on the chest, and said with a stinky look: "The talent of the master is so high, you only have the share of looking up, and you dare to slander the master, you really don't know the height of the sky!"

Everyone laughed, and even the sword shadow, which had always been silent and cold, gave a thumbs up to Ye Chong and Lu Shan.

"Go back to the Purple Bamboo Forest, Xiao Shui Zhu'er is still cultivating, I don't know this good news. ”

"Let's go back and celebrate, well, a few pheasants I caught yesterday are still there, fat man, you can roast them when you go back!"

“......”

In the midst of laughter, several people walked together in the direction of the purple bamboo forest.

Along the way, Lu Shan told all the thrilling aspects of the assessment, and kept gesturing with both hands, his eyebrows dancing. Exaggeration, overflowing.

It's just that when he finished talking about Ye Chong deliberately making trouble, causing Qi Huang to lose, and he got the second place, Shui Xi'er and the others were a little surprised.

"He really lost his mind at that time and drew his sword at the gate of Dantang?" Shui Xi'er said with a frown.

"Not only is it a sword drawn, but I am going to fight with Ye Chong, if it weren't for the elder scolding him in time, I would have been ready to poke the soles of his feet again!" Lu Shan raised his eyebrows.

Sword Shadow spoke at this time, "But when he came down the mountain, he didn't say anything to us." ”

Qu Yao was also a little puzzled, "He smiled at us at the time, damn, I thought he was afraid of Lu Yuanba! ”

"Hey. Ye Chong smiled and said: "He is indeed a little jealous of Lu Yuanba, and before the assessment, he specially threatened us, saying that Lu Yuanba would not stay in the Sword Shrine for too long, let us wait and see." At the gate of Dantang, at that time, because of my deliberate sabotage, it made him lose his mind, but I think that after he descends the mountain, he should not be so impulsive, at least before Lu Yuanba leaves, he should not retaliate against us. ”

With that, a few people came to the purple bamboo forest.

Then they froze.

In the purple bamboo forest, thick smoke is rising, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, the fire is soaring into the sky.

Several people glanced at each other, and they all roared in their hearts, and then quickly ran into the bamboo forest.

I only saw that their newly built bamboo house had once again become a fire field, and the fire had spread to the nearby bamboo forest.

From time to time, the "popping" sound of bamboo under the burning fire is heard.

Xiao Shuizhu is alone, and he is struggling to fight the fire.

"His uncle's!"

I don't know who scolded, and then several people threw themselves into the firefighting.

In the Sword Shrine, the Purple Bamboo Forest is their home, and the house can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, but if the entire Purple Bamboo Forest is burned, they will have no home at all.

Thankfully, they arrived just in time, and the fire had only just begun to spread.

After a period of scrambling, the fire was completely extinguished, and the purple bamboo forest was not much damaged, but the newly built house they built was already ruined.

Ye Chong: They are all tired and exhausted.

"What's going on?"

At this time, Shui Xi'er asked the reason to the little water beads whose faces were gray.

"It's Qi Huang. Xiao Shui Zhu wiped his tears and said: "I was originally cultivating, and there was a disciple of Yunfeng Sect who came to tell me that Brother Ye Chong and Brother Fat Man had passed the assessment, so I happily ran out to find you, and then as soon as I got out of the Purple Bamboo Forest, I found that there was a fire behind me, and then I ran back to see that Qi Huang and they were setting our house on fire, and they walked out scolding. ”

"This bastard!" the fat man suddenly scolded angrily.

Qu Yao also clenched his fists, "I knew he had bad intentions!"

"It seems that he is indeed very annoyed, but because he is afraid of Lu Yuanba, he does not dare to take revenge on us, so he can only vent the hatred in his heart again. Sword Shadow whispered.

"Yes, before setting the fire, he still broke the water droplets, and he didn't completely lose his mind. Shui Xi'er turned her head to look at Ye Chong and said with a wry smile: "We don't have a problem with him." Although that Lu Yuanba didn't know why, he said that he wanted to protect us, but we can't let him go to Yunfeng Sect to seek justice just because the house was burned. Besides, we can't rely on others after all. ”

Ye Chong nodded, but then shook his head again, and said: "In fact, it is not impossible to rely on other people's karma, the so-called borrowing momentum, isn't that what it means, as long as you can achieve the goal and eliminate hidden dangers, it doesn't matter if you rely on your own strength or not." ”

Then Shui Xi'er and the others were a little surprised.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Chong looked up at the ruins that were still smoking and said, "The contradiction between us and Qi Huang is irreconcilable. Now, only by knowing what the purpose of Lu Yuanba's previous statement at the foot of Yaofeng Mountain was, and he asked what the reason for my father and third uncle's traces was, could we find a breakthrough to solve the problem. ”

......

Because it was already afternoon, everyone didn't have the strength to build another house in a short time, so they had to clean the ruins temporarily, and then find a clean place in the purple bamboo forest to rest.

In the evening, they lit a bonfire again.

The pheasants caught by Qu Yao escaped the fire set by Qi Huang because of the timely rescue.

In the end, he still encountered bad luck, was picked and washed by Lu Shan, added condiments, and put it on the bonfire to roast.

Although they were discouraged because of Qi Huang's fire prevention, after all, it was the day when Ye Chong and Lu Shan passed the Dantang assessment, and they still felt that they should celebrate.

Find the silver lining.

The smell of roast chicken wafts from the campfire.

Lu Shan skillfully rolled the roast chicken, and kept muttering in his mouth, "When the young master comes out of the sword shrine, you must find those famous chefs outside to compare their skills, so that they can also see that in the sword shrine, there are not only swordsmen, but also chefs!"

"Well, yes, then you can go to the Qinglou to be a cook, make money, invite a few of us to go in and drink and enjoy the flowers and listen to the songs. Qu Yao said with a grin.

Ye Chong listened to their conversation, always feeling weird, thinking that these people really didn't know what kind of place the Qinglou was.

Let's just let them have a good idea.

Ye Chong decided not to tell them the truth.

Under the moonlight, they ate roast chicken, and then each found a piece of animal skin, spread it on the ground, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.

Even on such a day, they did not dare to delay the progress of their cultivation.

The breeze blows in the bamboo forest, and the sky covered with a black curtain is full of stars, and the stars fall at night, competing with the bright moon.

Ye Chong closed his eyes under the moonlight and starlight.

In his body, two completely different breaths were slowly adjusting under his traction.

First, he forcibly collected his breath into the sea of qi, and then began to pull the blazing and cold breaths respectively, each entering the corresponding meridians on the left and right sides of his body.

In this process, it is necessary to suppress the tumbling breath in the sea of qi to prevent them from finding an outlet on their own, which is a slow process and quite difficult to operate.

After all, dividing the cultivation system in the body into two was Ye Chong's own exploration and attempt, and there was no experience for his predecessors to refer to.

Just like he managed the company in his previous life, he always racked his brains and used all the methods he could think of to carry out various changes to make the company's operation more systematic and maximize profits.

Only now, he has reapplied this set of theories to his own practice, targeting his own body.

The reasoning is the same.

It's just the process, and it's not comfortable.

At first, there was nothing unusual, but when he completed the drainage of the meridian breath of the lower body, and when he reached the vicinity of the kidneys, the feeling of half iceberg and half flame was particularly strong.

His body seemed to form two poles, and different tastes of pain were tormenting him at the same time.

He felt like his left half was about to freeze, and his right half was about to melt.

The pain gradually became unbearable for him.

Am I wrong? This could not have been done?

Ye Chong has the vision and experience of his previous life, but he has no experience in cultivation, so he does not dare to block his own life and blindly carries out his ideas to the end.

But he was not very willing to give up, he didn't want the breath in his body to be like before, disorderly and disorderly entrenched in his meridians.

Even if he didn't have much experience in cultivation, he could judge that if he continued like that, it would definitely have a negative impact on his cultivation.

There are two sides to everything, just like Ye Chong at this time, although he has the sun and the moon at the same time, he also has to bear the troubles and worries that come with it.

Eventually, he decided to give it a try.

Forcibly enduring the torture of pain, two cold and scorching breaths were introduced into the meridians around the kidneys.

"Ahh

At the moment when he was completely wrapped in different breaths around his two kidneys, a strong pain swept over, as if there were two domineering forces trying to crush his kidneys.

Ye Chong couldn't hold back for a while, and cried out loudly.

"Ye Chong!"

"Ye Chong!"

He heard anxious cries around him.

But it was pitch black in front of him, and it was even more difficult to make any response under the severe pain.

At this moment, he felt as if he was going to die.

Or because of regret, or because of nostalgia, tears flowed from his eyes.

Then suddenly a breath poured in from his heart, and then it suddenly descended, diverted to the area of his kidneys, and forcibly suppressed the breath in the meridians around his kidneys.

Ye Chong's pain gradually subsided.

In front of his eyes, he gradually regained his clarity.

Then he saw nervous faces and uneasy eyes, which were his companions of the Seven Xuanzong.

There was also a one-armed swordsman, who was attaching one palm to his chest at this time, infused with true qi.

It was Lu Yuanba who saved him.

After Ye Chong sobered up, he was greeted by Lu Yuanba's reprimand.

"You're tired of living, aren't you! The kidneys are the place to repair the underground palace, and you haven't even cultivated the underground palace, so you want to destroy the kidneys?!"
