Chapter 13: Reaping the Rewards
"In the last few hundred years, except for Zhou Xi, there has been no disciple in this sect who is gifted and transcendent. Although our sect has a profound heritage, and we old guys still can keep the foundation of our ancestors, but now there are undercurrents surging inside and outside Xianzhou, and the so-called boat against the current will retreat if you don't advance, and the responsibility for further progress still falls on these junior disciples. ”
"Zhou Xi, your talent has been promoted by the Council of Elders to be the first in this sect in three hundred years, although your situation is a little special, you have been allowed to live in seclusion and self-cultivation for more than twenty years, but now it is time for the Yuanzi disciples to take on great responsibilities as the backbone. ”
Zhou Xi got up and replied, "Yes, Master." The disciple's old injuries have basically healed, and the impact on the Eight Gates Golden Lock Realm will soon be a matter of course. ”
The real person nodded: "You have a fate with Xuantian Lonely, once you break through, your combat power is still above the realm, and you will be the youngest elder of the sect at that time." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Mu Qiwei and said:
"Grace, I know you want to concentrate on cultivation and ignore mundane affairs. However, first, these four disciples in the construction department have their own characteristics, and you need to spend some effort in the initial stage; second, Zhou Xi also needs someone like you to help; third, the Mu family is complicated, and you will avoid it in the door, saving a lot of right and wrong. You know what I mean?"
Mu Qiwan bowed down and replied, "Disciple saved, I also like these children very much." ”
Shou Heng Zhenren shook the dust: "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back and rest, tomorrow the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect in the Primal Demon Plains Desert will come to worship the mountain, and the elders and I will have to prepare." ”
Zhou Xiqi said: "Our two factions have nothing to do with each other. Although there has been an increase in the number of contacts between various continents in the past hundred years, this journey is time-consuming and labor-intensive, whether it is the transmission of information or the transmission of characters, it is not easy, I heard that the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect is acting both right and evil, and it will actually find us?"
The real person in charge replied: "It's a little strange, the other party still contacted us through the merchant more than a year ago and officially posted a secret worship of the mountain, the words are very polite, we have no reason to refuse, let's listen to their intentions before making a decision." ”
After Zhou Mu and the others retreated, they talked for a while and then dispersed.
Early the next morning, Mu Qiwan laughed unscrupulously in the hall of Xuan Ge Peak, and said to the three of Hua Lanting:
"A few boys are very good, the construction office shines at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the cultural attack and martial arts talent show is not left behind, and the construction place is famous. Haha, I heard that Zhao Huaixin was so angry that he dropped several beloved porcelain bowls in a row, and the manager was very cool and crooked! ”
The three of them took out six jade bottles, Mu Qitian opened them separately, looked at them and sniffed them, and said: "Not bad, three intermediate one-yuan pills, three high-grade one-yuan pills, doesn't it mean that the first place in Wubi each has a high-grade goods? Why are there three more intermediate-level ones?"
The three of them said that it was Elder Zhou Xi's meeting gift, and recounted the process of meeting.
Mu Qitian nodded: "The three boys are blessed to have a good relationship with Elder Zhou. If you want to say that Daoist Yuanjia is the idol of our generation of disciples, I was also instructed by him back then, and you will have the opportunity to stammer often in the future, and the benefits are indispensable. ”
Yi Liunian asked, "What are the benefits of this thing?
Mu Qitian replied: "One Yuan Dan can increase the speed of aura absorption in a certain period of time, and the junior and senior levels are ten days, twenty days, and thirty days respectively. You can take it on a regular basis, or you can take it during the breakthrough phase and the level, the effect is better, you can do it yourself. I still have three beginners here as a reward for the crafting place. Lan Ting also rewarded a junior gift, which was my personal gift, as a reward for coming up with the slogan of the construction office, and the manager did not forget what he said. ”
Yi Liunian asked again: "It's so useful, isn't it possible for disciples to break through quickly if they send a few more pieces?"
Mu Qitian's eyes widened: "You kid, don't always think about taking shortcuts, the easy roads are downhill, the pills have side effects, and you still have to rely on your own solid cultivation to have a solid foundation." The side effects of this low-grade pill are almost negligible, and most of the medicinal materials required are ordinary, but one of the main medicines can be used to make a higher-grade pill, and it is overused on the one-yuan pill, so the quantity is not too much. ”
"Furthermore, this sect is authentic, and it is not advisable to use too many pills, and cultivators outside are in a hurry or know that their qualifications are limited, so they will use pills to increase their speed, and you must not give up eating because of choking. ”
"Another point, there is nothing in the world that you don't get for nothing, and you don't charge tuition fees when you come to cultivate, so this sect encourages you to get various rewards through various competitions and completing tasks, and the pill does not fall from the sky. There are a lot of good things in this door, and if you want to, you can fight for it. ”
"Finally, you three don't give me a tail, good luck this time doesn't mean good luck all the time, tomorrow I will take time to dedicate a day to guiding you. However, in view of the fact that you have made a good start, in addition to the pills, I will give you a day off today, in addition to the forbidden land, you can go to the mountains to take a walk, there are many excellent scenery in this gate. ”
"In addition, the treatment is upgraded, you can live in a single room, there is a spirit gathering array inside, this is a unique benefit of the construction place, it is difficult for the disciples of other peaks to have, and it is not allowed to spread it, because there are few of you, otherwise it will be difficult to distribute." That's all for today, and call Zhuge Yun to come over early tomorrow morning to report and disband. ”
The three of them received the pill and came out happily, each went back to the newly assigned room to pack up their things, and made an appointment to gather for a while and call Zhuge Yun to play in the mountains.
Hua Lanting entered the room and felt that the aura emanating from the ground was indeed a little stronger, thinking that the Spirit Gathering Array and the three pills should be able to speed up his slow aura absorption a lot. According to Mr. Mu, he planned to take the primary Yiyuan Pill first to see the effect, and then consider taking the intermediate and advanced ones when he was facing a breakthrough and was about to upgrade.
After the three of them gathered, they went to call Zhuge Yun, but this martial idiot refused to waste any cultivation time, the three of them were all teenagers, and said that cultivation should be Zhang and relaxed, so as to say that Zhuge Yun was pulled out.
The three of them inquired about a nearby scenic spot called the Sanliu Four-Hole Waterfall, so they went out together.
This scene is composed of three waterfall groups, along the Wenyu River, a big river in the mountain, cascade down, there is a cave in front of the first level and behind the three waterfalls, collectively referred to as the three-stream four-hole cascading waterfall.
Three waterfalls are different in form, or high or wide, ranging from more than ten zhang to dozens of zhang, or flying curtain upside down, sound like thunder, momentum, or flying straight down, rain and fog are filled, water light flickering, or flying beads splash jade, like a silver comb, the momentum is magnificent, the surrounding boulders present reddish-brown Danxia landform, the mountains are full of green trees and bamboos, mountain streams and springs are covered in the meantime, it is really the stone Qi Feng Jun, the winding path is quiet, the movement and tranquility are suitable, give people the feeling of the cave heaven and blessed land, the world is like the fairy mountain.
At this time, it was still early, the sun was about to rise, and the mist rose on the river and mountains, straight like a fairyland, and the four teenagers were refreshed, and they were going up the river along the river with great interest.
Hua Lanting and Zhuge Yun are usually silent, only Yi Liunian was stimulated by going up the mountain, and in the past two months, he stayed up all night desperately to make up for the ancient poems, and he really saw a lot of miscellaneous poems.
"The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke," Yi Liunian immediately said: "Jiang Feng fishes and fires to sleep." ”
Lin: "Don't be afraid of clouds to cover your eyes. "Yi:" Only because I am in this mountain. ”
Lin: "The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet. Yi: "People grow and hate water and grow east." ”
Lin: "I don't know the true face of this mountain. Yi: "I only know how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle." ”
Lin: "There are 3,000 beauties in the harem." "Yi:" The iron pestle is ground into an embroidery needle. ”
Hua Lanting really couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "You are really a talent, and it is really a loss for the poetry and literature world not to go to the Xiucai exam." I'll have two difficult sentences, see if you're right, okay?" Yi Liunian replied: "Don't talk about men, I'm not afraid of women."
Hua: "Once I was bitten by a snake. Yi Liunian casually connected: "Smell birds everywhere." Hua Lanting: "Toxic attack, hallucinations..."
Hua: "I want to be poor. "Yi:" Hanging southeast branch. ”
Hua: "Ask you how much sorrow you can have." Yi: "But the weather is cool and autumn." ”
Hua: "One misstep", before the words were finished, Yi Liunian hurriedly replied: "One misstep has become a romantic figure through the ages." ”
Hua Lanting exclaimed: "I fell into a celebrity after a mistake, it's catchy, and there is no sense of disobedience, it's really unexpected." "If you take it by surprise, you will kill yourself," Yi Liunian continued.
Lin Xian was also very interested, and the question made fun of Yi Liunian: "Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, two yellow orioles singing green willows." "This is a bit difficult", Yi Liunian thought for a while and said: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, a line of egrets is in the sky. ”
Zhuge Yun in the back finally couldn't help it, and said quietly: "The well water does not violate the river water, and the donkey's lips are not against the horse's mouth." ”
The four of them hahahahe, they have already gone up to the position where they can see the third waterfall. The strangeness of this waterfall also lies in the fact that a stone path passes through the back of the waterfall, forming a water curtain cave landscape, at this time the sun rises, the fog gradually disperses, and the four people vaguely see someone walking through the stone path.
Looking closely, I saw three people, a young man in white, a middle-aged Taoist aunt in a silk cloth, and the third person looked like the back of a woman in pink.
It must be a disciple of Yuheng Peak playing here, the four of them thought.
Lin Xian was shocked in his heart, and opened his mouth to chant in a long voice: "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost...."
Before he finished speaking, Yi Liunian continued: "Test me again? How to solve the worries, only Du Kang. ”
Hua Lanting couldn't help but smile and said, "Look back and smile at Bai Meisheng." ”
Yi Liunian: "At this time, silence is better than sound." ”
Zhuge Yun also joined in: "A branch of red apricot came out of the wall." ”
Yi: "Thousands of trees and pear blossoms." ”
Hua Lanting said again: "Smile and ask where the guest is from." ”
Yi: "The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village. ”
