Verse 283
"Hey, you don't understand, the quota of each realm can obtain different Emperor Flowing Pulp. He only has a few years of Taoism in the foundation realm, and my Jindan realm can increase Taoism for several decades. ”
As he spoke, he saw Zhao Ning looking at him with a slightly strange expression, as if asking, "So how did you lose this place?"
Shi Yueze sighed, he leaned on the couch, just like when he leaned on the clouds of the Extremely Cold Palace to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, "It's not that he has been away from the sect for decades and has received a little punishment. ”
Therefore, Zhao Ning understands that Shi Yueze's punishment is not just as simple as presiding over the sword fighting conference, speaking of which presiding over the sword fighting conference, which has a long face in the entire Kyushu, it doesn't seem to be a punishment in itself, but more like a kind of cultivation, but the real punishment is here, the place where even Shi Yueze is ready to move and salivate.
But "mountain people have their own clever plans", Shi Yueze has no other Jindan real people in the Extreme Sword Bloodline, so he thinks about letting the move condense into his Extreme Sword Lineage.
Zhao Ning didn't seem to give Shi Yueze face at all.
"Shi Zhenren, you have to make it clear, I am the inner disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, and I am under the name of the Extremely Cold Palace, if it is under the name of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, I don't think I don't care, and the disciples in the various sects will also be suspicious, what kind of identity am I, and I let the major sects in Kyushu take care of it like this."
Shi Yueze seemed to have thought of the answer a long time ago, "That's all about 'Shen Zhaoning', what's the matter with your 'Lin Ying'?" ”
He smiled, Zhao Ning but his expression did not move, in fact, she probably guessed a little in her heart, so thinking of Shi Yueze's arrangement for the disciple to meet her was grounded, Xu is sword real person was planning this matter when he knew that he was going to preside over the sword fighting conference.
Sure enough, he approached again and said, "Zhao Ning, you were in the limelight in Yanzhou Blazing City at the beginning, and it was still my name Shi Yueze, look at it, you have to give me a face for this favor." And ......"
He had a painful expression, "You don't have to give your 30,000 spirit stones, and I will give you an extra half of the emperor slurry, how about it?" ”
Zhao Ning was helpless at first, worthy of sword cultivation, the 30,000 lower grade spirit stones that Ji Zong blackmailed three years ago are still remembered to this day, but this emperor slurry is indeed a treasure.
Zhao Ning pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since this is the case, I will no longer refute Shi Zhenren's kindness, I will go to the sword talent list to register?" ”
The sword fighting conference opened three years later, and the sword cultivators in Kyushu gathered here, and if they wanted to compete for the top of the sword talent list, they had to be registered on the sword talent list now before they could participate in the sword fighting conference.
But he didn't want to, Shi Yueze said directly, "No, I have already registered it for you." ”
Zhao Ning paused, glanced at him helplessly, and his eyes seemed to say, "Shi Zhenren, a good one to cut first and then play, everything is ready, just wait for her to nod." ”
Shi Yueze probably also sensed that it was indeed a little bad to do this.
He embarrassedly concealed, "I'm an uncertain prophet, definitely not a prelude." ”
Zhao Ning was even more helpless, "Then in that case, I should transform into Lin Ying now." ”
Shi Yueze smiled with satisfaction and made a gesture.
The brilliance on his body faded, and then the brilliance shook slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into the cold and arrogant appearance of the forest shadow back then.
Lin Ying glanced at Shi Yueze with cold eyes, Shi Yueze subconsciously trembled, and then reacted and smiled, "This temperament is completely two people, when I first heard about it, I thought it was Lao Qin man pretending to be a woman." ”
Zhao Ning seemed to be flying over his head like a flock of crows, trying to maintain his image for his uncle.
At this moment, he heard that the prohibition at the door was being triggered, and Shi Yueze hurriedly opened the prohibition as if he had escaped, "Come in." ”
But I saw a lean young man walking outside the door, Xiuwei was in the late stage of foundation building, his eyebrows were quite handsome, but he didn't smile.
He came in and glanced up, then saluted solemnly, "Yuan Shun has seen two real people. ”
"Senior nephew Yuan, you weren't preparing for the sword fighting conference in the sect, why did you come here so early." Shi Yueze was very talkative, and introduced to Zhao Ning with a smile, "This is the closed disciple of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect Sword Master, a genius born with sword bones. ”
Zhao Ning bowed slightly.
Yuan Shun said, "The real person next to me is the junior sister of our Extreme Sword First Lineage who has been lost since childhood, her name is Lin Ying, and she is the honorary elder of our Extreme Sword First Lineage. ”
Yuan Shun's unsmiling look was almost cracked by Shi Yueze's words, and only a huge question popped out of his cracked expression.
What is "lost since childhood", what is "junior sister", didn't Jian Zhenren and his master sit down a hundred years ago?
But in his life, he only accepted a closed disciple who was extremely unreliable and had a headache when he thought about it.
He suppressed his strange emotions and reminded him very carefully, "Sword Zhenren, you are a recognized closed disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's Extreme Sword Lineage. ”
Shi Yueze's smile retracted, his brows furrowed, and he thought that what kind of reprimand he could say, so he listened to him, "Close the door, close the door, can't you open the door when you close it?" This Senior Sister Lin Yinglin is the door I opened for my master, a newly accepted disciple. ”
Zhao Ning has been in contact with Shi Yueze a few times, and he has been very calm with his temperament.
even helped Shi Yueze explain, "Lin has revered the Master of the Extreme Sword for a long time, and he and Shi Zhenren hit it off at first sight, so Shi Zhenren accepted the apprentice on his behalf." ”
Yuan Shun's expression cracked for a moment, and then slowly put it together into his original unsmiling appearance, and waved towards Zhao Ning Xingdao again, "I've seen Uncle Lin." ”
Zhao Ning bowed slightly.
Yuan Shun said to Shi Yueze again, "Jian Zhenren, the sect master invites you, Jianxu Zhenren, and Yucheng Zhenren to return to the sect, and seven days later, there will be a major event to discuss in the main hall of the sect." ”
He paused slightly, "Senior Uncle Lin, as an honorary elder of the Extreme Sword Lineage, should also go back to the sect." ”
"Okay, I see. I'll be right back. ”
Yuan Shun saluted and retreated silently.
Shi Yueze said with a smile, "Zhao Ning, don't worry, it's just an honorary elder, the sect won't say anything, there are just a few years left, you and I will go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect with me, and I will also introduce you." There is a sword wind cave in the sect, where you can go to hone your sword intent, and you can also engrave your sword intent into the cloud silk thousand illusion cloak. ”
Zhao Ning nodded, and then reminded him lightly, "Senior Brother Shi, it should be called Lin Ying." ”
Shi Yueze was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to the sect to have a look!"
Shi Yueze's body moved, turned into a streamer and flew out of the main hall of the rudder, and Zhao Ning followed closely behind.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect was built in the middle of the heavy mountains, these mountains are full of steep cliffs, you can see steep cliffs and craggy strange rocks everywhere, and the buildings of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also look very arrogant, all of them are buildings made of cornices and bricks.
Every building is huge and magnificent, and the color of the building is cold, but it is not the 10,000-year-old frost of the Extremely Cold Palace, nor the huge sense of oppression of the Blazing City, he himself exudes an endless sense of sharpness.
It's just that what makes Zhao Ning feel weird is that these buildings are always missing corners and edges, and some even have a few spirit bricks cut out of the walls.
"You see, our Ten Thousand Swords Sect is much more magnificent than any Extreme Cold Palace, and that Extreme Cold Palace has no characteristics except for one cold." Since Shi Yueze left the Extreme Cold Palace, he seems to have changed from a previous worship fanatic to a sarcastic.
But he just looked at Zhao Ning proudly, and saw that Zhao Ning's eyes were not on the building as a whole, but on those small details, he coughed embarrassedly, and simply stopped introducing it, and directly took Zhao Ning to the main peak of the first vein of the extreme peak.
"Although this sect is still a small family, but the poor ones are our ordinary hard-working sword cultivators, and it is normal to borrow two spirit stone bricks for emergency. Right? ”
Zhao Ning turned his eyes to look at him, and he was very serious and perfunctory, "Senior Brother Shi is right, it is still excusable." ”
Shi Yueze nodded with satisfaction, and then felt that something was wrong, and stood on the sky and clouds to stop Zhao Ning, "No, you call me Senior Brother, call me Senior Qin, then what am I called Lao Qin, Senior Uncle Qin?" What the hell is this? ”
The corners of Zhao Ning's mouth hooked slightly, and he bowed, "I will tell Uncle Shi, and I accepted this gift for Uncle Shi." ”
Shi Yue Ze felt a big loss, and he had a kind of longing to turn back time and space, returned to the main hall of the rudder, squeezed away and introduced Lin Ying to Yuan Shun as the younger sister of the apprentice, and said loudly, this is the grandson of the apprentice of the master, and he is the niece of his master.
However, if you regret not at the beginning, you will not regret the beginning.
"Why don't I go and stop that kid Yuan Shun and give him a new lease on our seniority?"
Shi Yueze seemed to be a little moved, and really glanced forward, Yuan Shun was not like them all the way to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Yuan Shun had almost entered the inner door at this time, and just now he saw Yuan Shun's imperial sword aura slashing in front of him.
"Hey, people." Shi Yueze flew to the location of Yuan Shun's sword aura before, but he didn't see Yuan Shun.
"Down there." Zhao Ning reminded.
Yuan Shun was going to bypass the main hall to go to the rear pavilion, but he was stopped by two people on the cross-mountain corridor.
"Yuan Shun, how did you please the Venerable Master and let the Venerable Master accept you as a closed disciple. At the beginning, you were not conspicuous at all in the small comparison of the sect, and you were even kicked out of the ring by Senior Sister Li, no matter how talented you are, your cultivation is only like that. ”
Another person also sarcastically said, "I'm afraid that there is something unseemly that will be valued by others." I heard that you are still a mortal prince, but you have used ordinary tricks to confuse the Venerable Master. ”
This kind of intrigue looks so out of place in the Immortal Sect, but these people are both sword cultivators and disciples of the Spirit Root Dao, and everything they do is casual, with suspicion and calculation in their temperament, and this comparison and jealousy are directly exposed.
Zhao Ning glanced at Shi Yueze, and saw that Shi Yueze was also frowning.
"This group of disciples of the Spirit Root Avenue is not so presumptuous once or twice, and I don't know what the sect master is thinking, it is clear that there are ancient Dao sword cultivation Dafa in the sect, but they rarely recommend the disciples to practice, the more the spiritual root is good and the fairy fate is of the highest quality, the more they let them practice the Spirit Root Dao, you see, these disciples are also imperceptibly influenced by these spiritual root Dafa, and they don't pay attention to their hearts at all, they are all broken tempers."
Zhao Ning has also had this kind of doubt more than once, but Zhao Ning also knows, "How can the heart pay more attention to the original heart, and it is also the spiritual root avenue, some are not affected and firm, and some are impetuous and lost." ”
When Zhao Ning spoke, Yuan Shun was calm, "Have the two junior brothers finished speaking?" After that, I'm going back to regain my life with the sect master. ”
"Returning to life with the sect master? Oh, the little mortal concubine, he really climbed the high branches, thinking that he was going to become the first seat of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect! ”
"I think you might as well go back to the cave and stay honest, please the Venerable Master more, and ask the Venerable Master to pour more cultivation into you! lest you really mess up at the sword fighting meeting! ”
Yuan Shun seemed to have been stabbed at a fatal sore point, his expression changed instantly, his eyes were on fire, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the spirit sword appeared in his hand.
"You bastards. Today, I, Yuan Shun, will ask you two for advice. As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the spike of the sword on the spirit sword was thrown upwards sharply, and the identity token was scattered from it, and then turned into a light-gathering sword and inserted it on the bridge.
This is......
"A duel to the death?!" The two provocative disciples were taken aback, and they never thought that Yuan Shun would come up to fight a life-and-death battle, and they flinched a little in an instant.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is not like other sects that prohibit private fights between disciples, if the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect want to fight, they directly throw out the identity token to form a sword shadow, with the sword shadow as the center, and the place is ten zhang and so on, the sword shadow lasts for a stick of incense, and after a stick of incense, the sword shadow dissipates, and the fight will stop.
But there is another challenge that has no time limit, and that is a duel of life and death, in which the shadow of the sword turns into light, enveloping the land of ten feet, and it will never die.
"Damn! These bunnies! Shi Yueze saw that this matter was making a big fuss, and he knew that he couldn't watch from the sidelines, so he turned into a streamer and ran towards the three of them, accompanied by a burst of angry cheers.
"Stop it!"
Shi Yue Ze suddenly appeared on the test field, and directly gave a kick to the three of them, kicking all three of them out, and then with a wave of the sleeves of his robe, the lightsaber was shattered.
He pointed to several people and scolded, from behavior to heart, from personal scolding to their teachers.
Zhao Ning watched indifferently in the sky, when the Qingxiao Sect was not affected by the demon seed, there was also a general division of forces between the peaks and intrigues between the disciples.
Sometimes Zhao Ning thinks, can these disciples really seek immortality and long-term vision?
Later, Zhao Ning vaguely understood that they might want to live forever, but it was too far away, so far away that an ant in the world didn't dare to think or didn't have the heart to stick to it.
Besides, the entire Kyushu does not have the power of true immortality, for example, Zhao Ning didn't even know what the realm above the Yuan Shen was a long time ago.
In the eyes of everyone, the Yuan Shen is the top of the sky, and the Linggen Dao can be cultivated to the Jindan Yuanying in the fastest time and the least calamity, and it can become a great power above the tens of thousands of people in Kyushu as soon as possible, and it will be able to look down on Kyushu, isn't this more refreshing and easy than the ancient road penance? Why bother looking for that ancient road, why bother looking for a legendary realm that may not have existed tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years ago?
Most people avoid the unknown and tend to be clear.
But now that Zhao Ning put aside many subjective and unintentional prejudices, she was even more puzzled in her heart, when those cultivators of the Spirit Root Dao cultivated to the realm of Jindan and Yuanying, they looked back at the path of cultivation, looked up and looked forward and had no way out, would they feel pathetic and regretful.
At this time, why didn't they tell their juniors that the ancient path was the orthodox road on the path of cultivation.
Maybe some seniors don't want to say it, maybe some juniors don't want to listen to it, but there will always be a few people among the thousands of monks who are tempted and clear-minded and know the benefits and disadvantages, instead of letting the Linggen Dao become more and more popular in Kyushu, making the ancient path almost declined, and making the cultivation of the mind a ridiculous word of self-inflicted hardship.
All the answers seem to be covered with a fig leaf.
"Senior Sister Lin, what are you thinking?" At this time, Shi Yueze had already returned, and he called out twice in confusion, only to get a faint look from Zhao Ning's eyes, and an inexplicable question, "Did Shi Zhenren take the ancient road or the Linggen Avenue?" ”
"Ancient roads, of course." Shi Yueze sighed, "My spiritual root five elements, a proper spiritual root avenue waste material, who had the opportunity to cultivate the spiritual root avenue back then." However, now that I think about the ancient road, it is not bad, and after all, I have achieved a high-grade golden pill. ”
"Then if Shi Zhenren was a single spiritual root, a peerless heavenly spiritual root in the world, would you still go to cultivate the ancient path?"
Shi Yueze was silent, his expression was confused for a moment, and then he turned back to his lazy appearance on the surface, "What is the best choice for this, when you first enter the sect, Uncle Chuan Gong will put a book of exercises in front of you and tell you that you are suitable for such exercises, and you can become an immortal by practicing him, Lin Ying, will you be eager to accept it?" ”
For a moment, Zhao Ning's mind seemed to flash with enlightenment.
She knew that her thoughts just now had fallen into a dead end, not how to choose, but with the rational insight of her thoughts back then, she didn't have a choice at all, and she just accepted what was in front of her.
Just like herself, if the Rejuvenation Technique was not an ancient Dao exercise, but a spiritual root Dao exercise, she would still practice without hesitation.
