Chapter 120, Xinglin Villa, II
Hearing the words of the purple-clothed elder, everyone couldn't help but feel agitated one by one, and they couldn't wait to get up.
This is the time they are most looking forward to, everyone has their own questions to ask, everyone has their own doubts to get answers, so everyone is competing for the first place, and everyone is afraid of falling behind.
"I'm ......!"
"I'll ...... first"
"Why are you, I'll raise my hand first......"
Seeing this, the old man in purple was also a little helpless, he stretched out his hand and pointed casually: "Everyone don't worry, they all have a chance." You, you come first......"
"Ah......h
The first question that was asked was actually the red-clothed boy Tong Haoge, who saw him first froze, then ecstasy, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and asked unconvincedly: "Me?"
"Yes, it's just you, if you have any questions, just ask......"
"Yes, yes......"
The boy in red, Tong Haoge, nodded in a panic, his eyes turned, obviously thinking about what to ask in the first question.
His eyes swept over everyone, and when he saw everyone staring at him enviously, he was proud for a while, but he couldn't think of the problem for a long time, and everyone saw that he was stunned for a long time, and he didn't speak, and finally couldn't bear it, and urged one by one: "Have you thought about it, hurry up and ......."
"yes, everyone is still waiting......"
"I, I'm ......" The red-clothed boy's face turned red, and he was stunned for a long time, his eyes suddenly looked at the purple-clothed elder above, and when he saw his kind look, his expression suddenly calmed, and finally thought of his own problem.
He was a little nervous. There was some hesitation, but the most stubborn gritted his teeth, and still plucked up the courage to say: "Elder, you said that around my Xinglin Villa, there are divine tigers who are moved by the ancestor and guard day and night, is it true?"
"Uh......"
The purple-clothed elder was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the first question he wanted to ask was actually this. The others immediately let out a burst of boos, and several people couldn't bear it. even laughed out loud.
The boy in red's face turned even redder. But he stubbornly raised his head and stared at the old man in purple, obviously this question was extremely important to him.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised. The purple-clothed elder shook his head with a smile. But see his serious look. still replied: "Yes, I do have two divine tigers in Xinglin Villa, but they are not influenced by the ancestor." It was subdued by the ancestor from the depths of Xingshan Mountain, and now he is still in the mountain behind my Xinglin Villa, guarding it day and night, and no one is allowed to approach. ”
"Ah, it's still ......"
This time, not only the boy in red, but also the other seven people who were not interested, couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise, and one of them muttered: "The ancestor has been immortal for hundreds of years, and the two divine tigers have followed him from the beginning, and they are still there, how old are they?"
"Hehe......"
Although this disciple spoke in a very soft voice, he still heard it clearly in his ears as a person like the purple-clothed elder.
He wasn't annoyed, he glanced at the disciple who was talking with a smile, and said, "You guessed right, these two divine tigers have been nearly a thousand years since they followed the first generation of my Xinglin Villa ancestor more than eight hundred years ago, and they are the longest-lived existence in my Xinglin Villa. ”
"Now, they are not only the guardian beasts of my Xinglin Villa, but also the auspiciousness and symbol of my Xinglin Villa, and their strength is extremely high, almost reaching the late stage of the Demon King, close to the heavenly and human realm in our human race. "For more than 800 years, Xinglin Villa has gone through several generations of green and yellow, and it is with the existence of these two holy beasts that the prestige of our Xinglin Villa has always been able to maintain and slowly carry forward. ”
"Therefore, serving them can't be like serving two ordinary demon beasts, but like serving their own elders, they should maintain enough respect and respect from beginning to end. ”
"Ah...... It's ......"
Everyone was surprised, shocked, and then they all responded, obviously not expecting that the years that these two Divine Tigers had passed were so long, and their cultivation was so high.
However, it is not surprising to think that it was captured by the first generation of patriarchs, and after hundreds of years to the present, it has long understood human nature and can cultivate to such a realm.
Thinking that there were two such magical existences in Xinglin Villa, everyone couldn't help but yearn for it.
The purple-clothed elder obviously saw through the thoughts in everyone's hearts, and he didn't stop it, he smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, this topic will stop here, and you will have the opportunity to meet the two old men in the future." Now, the second question, you can ask......"
After speaking, he turned his eyes and stretched out his hand to point at the young man in green shirt.
The green-shirted young man Yang Chen smiled slightly, without the slightest hint of the crampedness and nervousness of the red-clothed boy just now, only to see that he only thought for a while, and then asked: "May I ask the elder, do I need to participate in the triennial blood demon frontline battle for my ordinary disciple of Xinglin Villa?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the purple-clothed elder was slightly surprised, he glanced at the green-shirted young man, and then slowly spoke: "No, the duty of an ordinary disciple is to cultivate well, lay a good foundation, and learn enough alchemy knowledge." Only after you become a true inner disciple will you need to go to the blood demon front, receive training, and obtain a certain number of human merits. ”
"But ......"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "My Xinglin Mountain Villa disciple, even if it is an inner disciple, when he goes to the front line of the blood demon, most of his role is to assist, and few of them go directly to the battlefield. The ones that really need to be the main force and need to be in close contact with the demon beasts are the other five major sects, especially the three major sects of the Sword Pavilion, the Red Leaf Ghost City, and the Supreme Autumn Wind Pavilion, which are mainly based on combat power. ”
"And this is completely due to the special attributes of my Xinglin Villa disciples, my Xinglin Villa disciples are mostly based on alchemy, auxiliary, and healing, and Qi refining is only auxiliary, different from the other five sects, therefore, in each session of the Blood Demon Frontline Trial, my Xinglin Villa disciples, the number of fallen disciples has always been the least six, and the life guarantee is also the safest. ”
"Of course, there are pros and cons to doing this. The advantage is that the strength of my Xinglin Villa can be preserved to the greatest extent. The downside, that's it. I haven't experienced the tempering of real blood and fire, and my disciple of Xinglin Villa may be far superior to the other five major sects in terms of alchemy, but in terms of real battle, he is inferior to the other five major sects by more than a notch. ”
"Hmm. ”
After listening to the purple-clothed elder's words, the green-shirted young man fell silent, and after a while, he smiled slightly, bowed to the old man, and said, "Thank you, Elder." The disciple was taught. That's it for me. ”
With that, sit down again.
The purple-clothed elder gave him a deep look, and then turned to point at the other person. "The third question. Zhuo Yixing. Come on......"
......
Time passed minute by minute, and in the cave, everyone asked questions in their hearts one after another. Many doubts have been answered.
The flames flickered and flickered, reflecting the eight young faces. At this moment, no matter whether everyone's expressions are lonely or calm, indifferent or proud, they all look so vibrant.
The purple-clothed elder looked at them as if he had seen himself in the past. No matter how tricky and out-of-the-way the questions asked by the crowd were, he patiently answered them one by one, while the other two alchemists also sat on the side with a smile and didn't say much.
The whole scene is a joyful one.
However, such times are short-lived after all. Soon, as the night passed, the eastern sky began to turn white, and the heavy rain finally stopped.
Everyone walked out of the cave where they had sheltered from the rain last night, and in the distance, a rainbow hung between the mountains and forests and waterfalls, like a divine bridge, hanging high in the sky, which seemed so gorgeous and dazzling.
All the disciples couldn't help but look up, and their eyes burst with a kind of brilliance, as if the chatter of last night and night was still unfinished, and none of the eight people felt tired, and they still looked shining.
However, the time for departure has finally arrived. For more than two months, they never had a day off, and that time would never be again.
However, on such a day, perhaps until many, many years later, when they are about to forget their original intention of cultivating the Tao and occasionally dream back at midnight, the heartiness of this night is still buried deep in their hearts.
......
Two and a half months later, the carriage of Tang Gu, Shui Xue and others finally drove into Nanxing County, where Xinglin Villa is located.
Another dozen days passed.
this day.
When Tang Gu woke up from his cultivation, he found that they had come to the foot of a big mountain.
The whole mountain is completely covered by endless apricot trees, although it is not the season for apricot blossoms to bloom, but in the depths of the mountain range, there are still some valleys, because the four seasons are like spring, and the apricot blossoms in the valley are full of valleys, blooming together, like white clouds.
This season is still like this, not to mention, every year in March and April, this "apricot mountain" is all over the mountain, all apricot trees, when they open together, how spectacular and beautiful the scene should be.
Everyone was a little amazed, and the carriage walked slowly along a bluestone path paved in the center of these apricot trees.
The trail winds its way into the depths of the mountains, and eventually, the carriage stops in front of two huge white stone monuments.
Two stone monuments, one left and one right, are like twin peaks, and a sidewalk is vacant in the middle, and the car is no longer able to walk.
Everyone had already gotten off the car, and in the carriage in front, the three elders were already waiting for them on the ground, and when they saw them coming down, they smiled and pointed to the two stone tablets in front of them, and said, "No, look, Xinglin Villa has arrived!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked, and then looked up at the white stele in front of them, only to see that the left side was engraved with the four big characters of "Wanguo Apricot Garden", and on the right stone tablet, the four big characters were engraved with "Xinglin Villa".
There is also a small couplet underneath.
On the left, the couplet is, "The wind is clear under the apricot, and I dare to talk about the people and the people." On the right is: "The tea in the pavilion is hot, and Hugh laughs and talks about curing national worries." ”
The payment is - the real person Dong Feng.
Seeing these six words, like a dragon flying and a snake walking, wanting to break through the sky, everyone was shocked in their hearts, and then they only felt a stream of heat, and involuntarily rose from their chests, and their bodies stood straight.
Imagine the scene when the former ancestor stood in front of these two huge stone tablets, held a pen and waved, and set up a thousand-year-old medical order of Xinglin Villa, everyone couldn't help but feel helpless for a while, and they were in a trance.
Seeing their appearance, the old man in purple did not urge, smiled slightly, and did not take them up the mountain until they all came to their senses.
PS: Sorry, late. (To be continued......)
