Chapter 29: Deacons and Elders
Chen Zhou has some understanding of the tasks of the deacon elders, then Xu Changtian is the deacon elders, they will accept the tasks assigned by the sect and leave the sect to go out to complete the task, and only after completing the task or discovering major information can they return to the sect.
The outside world is very big and exciting, but it also means that there are many dangers, and it is impossible to become a deacon elder without absolute strength, and Chen Zhou became a deacon elder precisely with the first place in the sect.
Because the tasks accepted by the deacon elders are all currently unsolvable by the sect, and the deacons and elders need to go to inquire about information or complete the task, there is a certain degree of risk, and each deacon elder must sign a life and death certificate with the sect before completing the task.
Give your life to the sect and do your best to complete the task.
This is the duty of the deacons and elders.
"Sect Master, Chen Zhou is still so young, should he delay the assignment of the task outside the sect?"
The three elders were the first to ask, Chen Zhou was not deeply involved in the world, and the risk of going out was too great.
The white-haired sect master shook his head and said, "Since you have become a deacon elder, you should be ready to go out to complete the task. ”
Chen Zhou couldn't help but pout, wasn't this deacon elder a reward they imposed on him? If he had a choice, how would he choose this reward?
"Sect Master, Chen Zhou is indeed young, and the deacon elder was awarded to Chen Zhou as the first place in the sect. ”
The Great Elder cherishes his talents, naturally he doesn't want Chen Zhou to have any accidents outside, for so many years, this is the first Horcrux to recognize the master.
The two elders both spoke for Chen Zhou, which showed Chen Zhou's status among the elders at this time.
The prosperity of the Sword Cloud Sect lies in the younger generation.
"Since the two elders said so, why don't we ask Chen Zhou directly what he thinks?"
The white-haired sect master turned his head to look at Chen Zhou as he spoke.
All the elders looked at Chen Zhou, and Chen Zhou didn't know what to say.
In terms of righteousness, since he was a child living in the Sword Cloud Sect, he has already developed feelings for this immortal sect, so it is natural to contribute his own strength to the Sword Cloud Sect.
In a small sense, he is not deeply involved in the world, and his strength is not very strong, so he rashly goes to complete the task assigned by the sect, I am afraid it is full of danger.
Just when Chen Zhou was uncertain, the voice of the elder Ren came to his mind.
"Boy, this is a good opportunity, say yes!"
"Maybe this is going to die, what a good opportunity?" Chen Zhou muttered in his heart.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and agree, you can't cultivate in the sect for a lifetime, there are more opportunities outside and more room for improvement!"
At this time, a few minutes had passed, and if Chen Zhou didn't answer again, maybe the sect master or elder would ask again to confirm whether he had heard.
"Sect Master, Elders, Chen Zhou has lived in the Sword Cloud Sect since he was a child, if there is no Sword Cloud Sect, there will be no me Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou was naturally willing to contribute to the sect. ”
Chen Zhou said quickly.
After speaking, a burst of applause broke out, and it was from the sect master.
The sect master looked a little smug now, and said, "Okay! ”
The three elders sighed heavily, then bowed their hands to the sect master and were the first to leave this cave mansion.
Then several elders left one by one, leaving only Chen Zhou and the white-haired sect master in the cave mansion.
"Your name is Chen Zhou, right?" asked the white-haired sect master as he sat back on his futon.
"Yes, Sect Master. The disciple's name is Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou replied.
"This seat is the one hundred and twenty-ninth sect master of the Sword Cloud Sect, and he is called the Dragon Martial Swordsman. This seat has been in charge of the Sword Cloud Sect for more than a hundred years, and has witnessed the Sword Cloud Sect from its original prosperity to its current decline, and the former number one Sword Sect in the Tianyun Continent has declined. ”
The sect master's expression finally changed, and he actually showed a little sadness, this was the first time Chen Zhou had seen it.
It was also the first time Chen Zhou had heard of such a thing, he only knew that the Sword Cloud Sect was the largest immortal cultivation sect in the Southern Kingdom, and the Southern Kingdom was just a small country in the Tianyun Continent.
It is no exaggeration to say that Nanguo is the lowest country in the Tianyun Continent, not only is the national strength the weakest, but even the area is the smallest.
There is no land without strength, this sentence is very applicable in the Tianyun Continent, the relationship between various countries is complicated, some join forces for the sake of interests, form an alliance, and some crusade against each other and compete for land.
used to be the first sword sect in the Tianyun Continent, it can be seen how prosperous the Sword Cloud Sect was at the beginning.
"The current Sword Cloud Sect can only nest in a small southern realm, and dare not make a sound. ”
The Sect Master's voice trembled.
"This all happened during my time in charge of the Sword Cloud Sect, if the Sword Cloud Sect can't continue to flourish in my hands, I'm afraid I will be the eternal sinner of the Sword Cloud Sect!"
When Chen Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the sect master, such a powerful Sword Cloud Sect had fallen in his hands, and he would definitely be sorry for the ancestors.
"In order for our Sword Cloud Sect to flourish again, we must first find a powerful array mage, our Tianmen Mountain's true qi is now thin, which is a big flaw for the disciples of the Sword Cloud Sect, which is why our current disciples have stopped in their realm. The original Spirit Attraction Array has lost its effect, so we must invite another formation master to build another Spirit Attraction Array for our Sword Cloud Sect!"
The Sect Master's voice grew louder and louder, resounding throughout the Cave Mansion.
Array Mage?
During the heyday of the Sword Cloud Sect, this Spirit Attracting Array actually played such a crucial role, Chen Zhou pursed his lips, he didn't know what strength he had to achieve to lay down such a powerful formation?
"And the task I want to send you is to leave the sect and go to the distant north to find a formation mage, and ask him to help our Sword Cloud Sect!"
The Sect Master slowly said the content of the mission.
"This mission is very difficult, because several of our Sword Cloud Sect's powerful people will be more or less stared at by some forces, so this journey must be completed by you alone, and it can't be discovered by anyone. ”
The Sect Master continued, this task is very difficult and long, it can be said that it is one of the most difficult tasks for the deacon of the outer sect of the Sword Cloud Sect in the past few years.
"All you need for this mission is that you bring this letter from my hand to a formation mage in the Northland, who has always owed me a favor, and now it's time to return it. ”
As he spoke, the sect master took out a small envelope and handed it to Chen Zhou.
"Sect Master, which formation mage can you also say?" Chen Zhou nodded and asked, since he agreed, he had to grit his teeth and persist even if it was difficult.
"I'll naturally tell you when you set off, this is a ring that can be used for storage, there is a hundred square meters of storage space, and everything such as your daily necessities can be put inside, which is very convenient. ”
Saying that, the sect master took off the ring in his hand and handed it to Chen Zhou, Chen Zhou nodded, the master used to use the ring master, you only need to use a little true qi to send things into the ring, and it is the same when you take it out.
"My breath has been completely erased from this vow, you only need to enter a little bit of your true qi now, and this vow will automatically recognize the Lord, only your true qi can open the vow. ”
The sect master continued, and then slowly returned to his previous cold expression: "You have just entered the foundation building period now, you must choose to major in the exercises as soon as possible, this is just the beginning of cultivation. ”
"The realm of cultivating immortals, from small to large, the foundation building period, the enlightenment period, the fusion period, and the heartbeat period. This is the four realms of Chengdan, and it is also an important four realms to enter the real strong, after the four realms of Chengdan, that is the real immortal, smelting Jindan, and stepping into the Jindan period. ”
"Your master, as well as the other six elders, are just in the heartbeat period, it is very difficult to smelt the golden pill, and it is also an important watershed for immortal cultivators, many people have been unable to cross this hurdle in their lives, and I am more lucky, I successfully smelted the golden pill a hundred years ago and entered the golden pill period. ”
Chen Zhou listened to the sect master's words, as if he had entered another new world, he had heard of the realm after the foundation building period, but he had never been so careful.
"In the entire southern country, I am the only Jindan monk, which is why our southern kingdom is so weak. There are many golden pills in other sects, and their strength is strong. ”
Chen Zhou nodded, I'm afraid that Nanguo has been trying to make friends with the Sword Sect, I'm afraid it's because of the relationship between the sect master, there is a strong person in the Jindan realm, and no one dares to really attack Nanguo.
"Chen Zhou, the burden of the Sword Cloud Sect is on you, and whether you can complete this task or not will determine the fate of the Sword Cloud Sect. ”
After speaking, the sect master disappeared, and then only left the last sentence: "Let's set off tomorrow." ”
Chen Zhou stood in place and clenched his fists and nodded, the outside world is so exciting, why not go and take a look?
Thinking about it, Chen Zhou picked up the heavy sword and put it into the ring, and then turned back the same way, went out of the cave, and left mountain by mountain, because he had not yet learned to fly the sword, so he could only walk step by step.
"Ding! The host has not cultivated for a minute, the qi and blood value is +4, the root bone value is +3, and the true qi value is +4. ”
......
Leaving in the morning and continuing until evening, Chen Zhou walked back to his wooden house on the hill, and as soon as he came in, he wanted to lie down on the bed.
Only by resting well can we cultivate well, and we must complete this glorious task.
Chen Zhou thought happily, Chen Zhou was naturally very excited about leaving the sect.
Like anyone else, it's exciting to travel for the first time after staying at home for the first time.
Chen Zhou was no exception, he wanted to sleep very much, but he was too excited to sleep, so he could only stare at the roof of the cabin in a daze and listen to the system sound in his head.
Chen Zhou now thinks that even if he completes the task alone, he will never be alone, he has a system prompt sound all the time, and there is also Ren Lao.
Sitting in the wooden house, Chen Zhou waited for a long time, he thought that the little senior sister should come to him?
But why didn't he show up for a long time, Chen Zhou was a little anxious.
Nothing will happen, right?
Just when Chen Zhou was thinking depressedly, the third elder appeared.
He was holding a large box of books in his hand, and soon appeared in front of Chen Zhou's eyes.
"What are you in a daze? After breaking through the foundation building period, you still don't choose to major in the exercises?"
The third elder said in a somewhat anxious tone, he should have heard about Chen Zhou's departure tomorrow, and he didn't want Chen Zhou to do the deacon task in the first place.
The danger factor of the outer deacon mission is too high.
But the sect master's order, even the seven elders had to obey.
"Master, where is Jiang Ying, why didn't you see her?"
Chen Zhou didn't even look at the book in the hands of the three elders, and asked directly.
The third elder paused slightly, didn't that girl go down the mountain a long time ago?
