Chapter 14: Cultivating

"Oh?"

Yang Ji turned around, blinked his eyes, and finally showed an interested look:

"Then how do you get to the underworld?"

"It's simple. You know the earth boat of the people in the evil path and the demon way, right?"

Gatekeepers.

"Ark of the Earth?"

Yang Ji was slightly surprised. He knew this, Zhao Hua once mentioned that this was a kind of evil way and demon magic weapon refined by people in the evil way and demon path with the method of yin and evil.

"You know, what's wrong?"

Yang Ji replied quickly.

"It's good to know. With your current strength, this magic weapon is the best tool you can use to travel to the underworld. All you have to do is find a few people in the evil path and take the boat from them. Then find a yellow spring that leads to the underworld, and of course, it will take luck. After all, not all Yellow Springs have access to the underworld. ”

β€œ...... After that, go into the underworld and just find a few pieces of obsidian on the spot and give them to me. The whole process won't delay you too much. If you're lucky, pick up the obsidian at the entrance, take a breath, and you're ready to leave. ”

The gatekeeper came slowly, calmly.

Yang Ji finally nodded:

"If I meet those evil disciples, I will. But right now, I don't have any plans to go down the mountain anytime soon. ”

The whereabouts of the cult disciples are secretive, and they are pursued by the imperial court and sects. They also try to hide their identities. It's not easy to find them, and it's not an exaggeration to say that you're looking for a needle in a haystack.

And the time is pressing, and there is still a maximum of half a year, which is the time when the "Xiucai Test" of the Wuke Examination will be held. Before this, Yang Ji only wanted to improve his strength as much as possible, which was the most important thing.

β€œ...... It's a pity that the vitality grass can only be put away. ”

Yang Ji thought with regret in his heart.

"Hey, if you really have the heart. It doesn't have to be that much trouble. There are two suitable targets in the vicinity of the Iron Crown. ”

The gatekeeper suddenly smirked.

"Huh?!"

Yang Ji was shocked. The first reaction was:

"Impossible?

"Hey, how could it be? Three months ago, I sensed them nearby. During this time, it disappeared from time to time, and now it has disappeared again. I guess what they were going to do didn't get done. After a while. There has to be a ......"

Gatekeepers.

"This matter should be reported to the elders of the faction immediately!"

Yang Ji said in a deep voice.

The evil path disciples appeared near the sect and posed this threat to all the disciples in the vicinity. Yang Ji's first reaction was that he should inform Elder Qiu and Elder Xing in the faction.

The temperature plummeted, and the gatekeeper suddenly stopped, staring at Yang Ji coldly, without saying a word.

Yang Ji was slightly stunned, then felt something, and quickly fell silent.

"I promised to guard the cave for the Iron Crown, but I was not obligated to inform them of such a thing. ”

The gatekeeper said coldly. The tone is a lot colder than before:

"As I said, it's a deal. Obsidian for vitality grass, you will do it if you promise. If you don't agree, you can leave now. ”

The gatekeeper indifferently stretched out a finger and pointed straight down the mountain, his tone much more distant.

There was silence all around, and an indescribable strange feeling welled up in my heart. Yang Ji used to think that the "gatekeeper" was weird, but now it feels even weirder.

No strong man would dress like him. Nor are there any gatekeepers who are chained to the walls of the cave.

A denominational "gatekeeper". Should be a member of the sect. But when there was such a dangerous thing as an evil disciple near the mountain gate, he obviously felt it, but he didn't notify the sect at all.

Moreover, Yang Ji clearly noticed that when he mentioned this matter, he used "them" unexpectedly. Apparently isolating oneself from oneself.

"Could it be that he is not from our Iron Crown Sect at all?"

The strange feeling in Yang Ji's heart was strong and indescribable. If the gatekeeper is not from the Iron Crown Sect, then why would an outsider like him be sent to guard such a heavy place as the Hidden Scripture Cave?

"Senior, I didn't say I wouldn't agree, did I?"

Yang Ji raised his head and spoke.

"Good. ”

The gatekeeper retracted his fingers. Finally, he smiled: "Then we can continue talking." Before you go down the mountain, you can ask me if you have anything to ask. ”

"Just one last question, why me?"

Yang Jidao.

He's not confused, if it's really like he says he is. There are not a few disciples like himself on the Iron Crown Mountain. Those "big brothers" and "big sisters" can do it completely, and there is no need to choose yourself.

"If something is abnormal, there must be a demon", Yang Ji must figure out the truth.

"Hehe, little doll, you really still want to know. ”

The gatekeeper looked unsurprising:

"I'm just telling you how to get obsidian, and I don't say that you'll be able to do it. In the world, only the place where the yin and turbidity can be born Yellow Spring. And of all these yellow springs, less than one thousandth of them are the same as the underworld. ”

"You'll get the Boat of the Earth. You don't necessarily have access to the underworld. So...... When you actually get the obsidian, ask me why I chose you. ――There are some things that I know have little hope for, but I always want to try them. ”

The gatekeeper sighed deeply, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, and actually revealed a kind of amazement.

Yang Ji was stunned, and then smiled bitterly. After a long time, the daring lover is just casting a wide net.

"I see. ”

Yang Ji took a deep breath: "Senior, I'll leave first." When those evil disciples appear, the seniors will inform me. ”

Yang Ji turned around as he said and strode down the top of the mountain.

............

In the following time, Yang Ji completely cut off his activities, stayed in the palace, and studied the "Incarnation Outside the Body", "Electric Mother Sword Technique", "Baxia Negative Heavenly Fist" and "Floating Light Body Method" comprehended from the Tibetan Scripture Cave.

"Incarnation Outside the Body" is a sixfold mastery of martial arts, and Yang Ji can't practice it for the time being. However, it is still possible to figure out the truth and corroborate each other with the "Five Ghost Handling Dafa".

As for "Electric Mother Sword Technique" and "Baxia Negative Sky Fist", it is easier. Yang Ji has already comprehended the original "scripture painting" of the two great masters. There are no problems with the practice.

On the contrary, it is the "Floating Light Body Method", although it only has the Martial Arts Quadruple Blood Furnace Realm. It is far from being that simple to cultivate, and it is even more difficult than the "External Incarnation Method".

Yang Ji finally understood why although the "Floating Light Body Method" was only the fourth level of peerlessness, there were very few people who successfully practiced in the Iron Crown Sect, and he had never seen it at all.

Time passed day by day in the cultivation, and Yang Ji completely forgot about the outside world. There is nothing but practice.

......

"Whew!"

I don't know how long it took. It seemed to be overnight, and there was a chill everywhere. Although Tieguan Mountain is located in the deep mountains, blocked by mountains, the chill that penetrates into the heart is still everywhere.

At a glance, the sky is dark, and even the grass and trees all over the mountain are hanging low, and there is a cold smell everywhere.

"It's 'Xiaohan' so fast! Time flies so fast!"

Yang Ji looked through the window at the mountains in the distance. I was filled with emotion.

"Xiaohan" is one of the last solar terms of the year. At this time, there will be a real chill in the whole world, which is a sign of snow.

After another "big cold", the weather is cold, and after a heavy snowfall, after the Lunar New Year, the year has passed.

"That's fast......"

Yang Ji sighed again.

Time flies, remember this time a year ago. He entered the mountains alone and met Lu Ling in the mountains first. Then he met Xiao Ji again, and his fate changed from then on.

Thinking of "Xiao Ji", Yang Ji couldn't help but glance down at his sleeve. He could clearly feel that "Xiao Ji" was cold, like cold iron, wrapped around his wrists.

"Xiao Ji" is the king of ten thousand snakes, and he is far less affected by the weather. But. After all, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and they still don't like cold by nature.

In this kind of weather, "Xiao Ji" also does not like to move too much.

Yang Ji gently touched Xiao Ji through his sleeves and smiled. Then from the pen holder next to it. took out a brush, dipped it, and spread ink on the "Book of Great Confucianism" spread out in front of him, and wrote down lines of words dancing with dragons and phoenixes:

"The old leaves are yellow like tender trees, and the cold cherry branches are white like wild flowers. ”

"Wait until the moon flies in, sit and watch the mountains full of green pine snow. ”

............

The poem is just a very ordinary poem for the occasion, but as Yang Ji's pen goes away, there are wisps of literary spirit that slowly penetrate into the "Book of Confucianism".

Although he couldn't see it, Yang Ji could feel it. With the infiltration of this wisp of literary atmosphere, the "Book of Great Confucianism" in front of me has produced some different changes.

"Hehe, cultivation is still not enough. I can only make this kind of Cheng dΓΉ poem. ”

Yang Ji lifted his pen and looked at the words on the "Book of Great Confucianism" and smiled. When he first put pen to paper, he could only write this kind of Cheng dΓΉ poem.

The biggest difference between Xiucai and Tongsheng is that he can compose poetry. Yang Ji's cultivation is not enough, so he just practiced, and the words are very young.

Since the last time I used up the number of times I used up the "Little Sage Technique" in the Tibetan Scripture Cave, there has been no literary atmosphere in the "Book of Great Confucianism". If Yang Gui wants to use it again, he can only pay attention to it.

So these days, in addition to the time for practice. Yang Ji came together in the morning, just to read and write. In the "Book of Confucianism", he wrote "Enlightenment", "Kindergarten Learning", "Knowing Chapters", "Asking Rites", and "Zhiyi", which were essential articles for children to read in the era of literary saints.

Through the engrossed writing of the saint's canon, the "Book of Confucianism" is supplemented with style.

"Whew!"

Yang Ji stretched out his hand on the "Book of Confucianism", and the original lines of text immediately disappeared and turned into a blank again.

This is a unique feature of the Book of Confucianism. No matter how much text you write, just reach out and wipe it, and the words on it disappear, as if you have been sucked into the inside of a book.

Turning the book to the page of "Enlightenment", Yang Ji immediately looked at it carefully. (To be continued......)
