Volume 1 A Spring Dream About Xianju Mountain Chapter 8 The Arena
In the main hall of the Daode Palace, Qin Hong wondered if he had heard it wrong, and looked at Bai Yue in surprise, "Didn't you say that you still have someone else?"
"But why don't you ask me?" Bai Yue was puzzled, and her eyebrows like bamboo leaves twisted.
The mountain lord looked at the stubborn sister-in-law in front of him, quite a bit of Qin Hong's taste back then, looked at Qin Hong meaningfully, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, "It's a little bit of your energy back then, it's just that junior sister, you were even more imposing back then, her temper is a little like you, and Uncle Shi will like her." ”
The mountain lord laughed, where can our generation compare with them. Qin Hong smiled self-deprecatingly, "Back then, I only dared to argue with a few of you senior brothers and sisters, but I definitely didn't dare to disobey the arrangements of the teachers." ”
The mountain lord smiled clearly, got up and opened the magic crystal bead curtain in front of him, walked to the edge of the platform, and said to Bai Yue under the stage, "Bai Yue, you raise your head, let me ask you, are you willing to stay in the Wishing Lake, or do you want to worship Uncle Xu Xi as a teacher?"
"Uncle Xu Xi?" Bai Yue looked up at the mountain lord, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I can't bear to let Master and the sisters of the Wishing Lake go." ”
"Look, junior sister, your disciple is still very good at being a man!" the mountain lord said to Qin Hong.
"She's not a good person, she's just really reluctant. Qin Hong knows how Bai Yue has felt in the Wishing Lake in the past three years, not to mention the extremely beautiful scenery, in terms of the cultivation atmosphere alone, there will never be a second place in the entire Xianju Mountain with such loose rules as the Wishing Lake, let alone everyone's careful teaching of Bai Yue.
"So how long will it take you to figure it out?" the mountain lord asked Hakutsuki again.
"I ······" Bai Yue's brows tightened even more, "I don't know, but Lord Mountain, I know the prestige of my uncle and ancestor, and I also want to follow her old man to practice, but I really can't bear to be master!"
"You have to learn to make trade-offs. The mountain lord seemed to remember something, and his tone suddenly became less aggressive.
Bai Yue stared at the mountain lord who was a little less majestic in an instant, and plucked up the courage to ask, "Since Uncle Shi intends to take me as an apprentice, maybe her old man is willing to come to our Wishing Lake? Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"
The mountain lord and Qin Hong were stunned at the same time, for thousands of years, the disciple who dared to call the master to teach him, this harmless little girl was probably the first person.
Qin Hong was more concerned about the changes in the mountain lord's face, she also wanted to see how much the mountain would attach importance to this little girl with a god-given double spirit root, whether the mountain lord dared to risk the world's condemnation, and whether Uncle Xu really accepted apprentices or just had plans to record Bai Yue in his name.
"Bai Yue, you can ask your master, who would dare to make such a request after thousands of years of opening the mountain?" the mountain lord raised his head and stared at the void in the distance, and then sighed, "Not a single one!"
"Maybe there's one. Qin Hong said.
"Senior sister, do you want to let Brother Wei teach you again?" said the mountain master.
"Don't be afraid, no matter how you teach me about this, I always think that you were indeed the best you back then. Qin Hong's eyes were filled with confusion again.
"Maybe!" the mountain lord nodded, "but it was the best time in the mountains, and now it is naturally different." ”
"Actually, senior brother, you ······· back then"
"Don't talk about it, I was young at the time, so I ·······" The mountain lord shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Hey, but people don't take young people lightly·······"
"yes········"
"You take Bai Yue back!" the mountain lord gathered his mind and said kindly, "This matter involves Uncle Shi and a lot of people in the mountain, let me think about it and decide again." ”
Bai Yue looked at the mountain lord who was high above in surprise when she heard this, and couldn't believe that her negative words were actually exchanged for the consent of the mountain lord, although the mountain lord did not have a clear affirmation, but Bai Yue, who was smart in ice and snow, could still understand the meaning of the mountain lord's words.
Bai Yue's brows stretched, her eyes widened, and she bent her knees excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Mountain, long live the Mountain Lord!"
The mountain lord smiled helplessly, raised his hand and motioned for them to go back, without saying anything more.
··········
After practicing for several years, Chu Jiangkai has long been accustomed to walking while mobilizing the spiritual power in his body to wander around his body, this method of combining walking and meditation may not be convenient enough, but at least it has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
But now Chu Jiangkai can't do that kind of effect that can barely be regarded as enjoyment.
The dantian was destroyed, and the spiritual power in the body was already gray, and there was no way to mobilize it.
Chu Jiangkai is also most puzzled by this.
If the normal process is followed, the destruction of the dantian is the end of a cultivator's cultivation, and most of them are accompanied by irreversible damage to the physical body.
But in Chu Jiangkai's body, this situation did not happen, at least the body did not show any damage, which made Chu Jiangkai somewhat illusionistic, after all, there was a precedent for the destruction of the dantian but it was restored again purely from the records of the classics.
Maybe he will have such an opportunity, but Chu Jiangkai also knows that that the kind of small probability event against the sky cannot be completed by hard work alone, it also requires luck.
In the eyes of the other students who followed, the road to the arena, Chu Jiang drove very well, and even a little stereotyped. But Chu Jiangkai knew that although his body continued to run on a mechanical trajectory, his mind had just run somewhere else.
If it was placed before Zhu Zhenren's ascension, a seemingly anti-heaven character like Wen Ruyan in the academy was just an ordinary existence in the eyes of a disciple in a green shirt in the mountains like Chu Jiangkai.
But that's different now.
·········
The ridge is not as cloudy as the peaks of other peaks, and the Great Hidden Peak is too low.
The arena was exposed to the gaze of the surrounding peaks in this way, of course, the competition between the students of the academy like Chu Jiangkai and Wen Ruyan would naturally not be cared for by those big figures on the peak, but Chu Jiangkai also knew that in a certain direction, the old pedant's eyes that looked cloudy must have been watching here intently when the prohibition of the arena was touched by the competition.
The old pedant is the legend of the school.
His power may not be comparable to that of the superintendent and the president, but in the hearts of the students, the old man with a kind smile in a gray robe all the year round is the most trustworthy person in the entire society.
Wen Ruyan had already stepped to the top of the arena, and Chu Jiangkai had also stepped on the steps that symbolized courage and strength.
Chu Jiangkai knew that these more than 300 steps were his final adjustment space.
He was most concerned about the brick at the top of the steps.
This brick is the most famous place of this arena, according to legend, the craftsmen who built the arena were the most skilled Yu Jiaban in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they calculated the use of materials to the smallest unit, and this brick is the only remaining material in the entire arena.
Because the calculation was too accurate, Yu Jiaban was praised to the sky, and this brick was even more passed on as a beautiful talk.
Although Chu Jiangkai only heard about it, naturally no one would make up this kind of thing, and in today's fight with Wen Ruyan, Chu Jiangkai got rid of the two remaining talismans on his body, and he really had nothing else to rely on.
Therefore, he hit the idea on this most famous brick in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Finally came to the top of the arena.
The entire arena is a golden column from below, brilliant and splendid. Standing at the top, it is just a circular platform, and the surface is just an ordinary green brick paving, which is not as shocking as when viewed from a distance.
The brick, which was famous in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was placed on the highest step of the stairs.
Perhaps because it has been played with by countless people for many years, its surroundings have no original edges and corners, and the color seems to be darker than ordinary green bricks.
But Chu Jiangkai knew that the touching of countless people had already given this brick enough spiritual power, just like that ring ruler, there would be more or less remnants of spiritual power.
Chu Jiangkai bent down and picked up this somewhat round green brick, which felt cold to the touch, but it was not seeping, and there was a faint feeling of reassurance.
"It's fine. Chu Jiangkai gently spit out two words, the gentle mountain breeze blew, and the hand holding the green brick was very stable.
"You still have a chance. Wen Ruyan saw Chu Jiangkai unhurriedly ascending to the arena and picking up the green brick, and suddenly felt a little more pressure.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but the difference in strength still made him feel a little at ease.
"No need. Chu Jiang opened the green brick in his hand and said lightly.
Wen Ruyan's face sank, and he arched his hand contemptuously, "Offended." ”
"You're welcome. Chu Jiangkai still walked towards the middle of the arena with that regular step.
"Wait. At this time, a neutral voice suddenly came from the air, "Although there are no rules and restrictions on the competition in the arena of the Academy, you must not hurt people's lives, can you two remember?"
Wen Ruyan arched his hand towards the location where the voice came from, "Disciple remembers." ”
Chu Jiangkai didn't say much, nor did he stop, just nodded as he walked.
Wen Ruyan looked at Chu Jiangkai, who was approaching with a brick, and was a little surprised, "Do you really use this brick?" Although your dantian is damaged, it's not difficult to find a suitable ordinary blade, right?"
Chu Jiangkai smiled as he walked, "It's okay, it's much better than empty-handed." ”
The more this is the case, the more Wen Ruyan dare not be careless, is there really anything strange about this brick?
As soon as he thought of this, Wen Ruyan quickly took out the magic sword, and overflowed his spiritual power to make a simple shield on his body, the shield flashed with a faint blue light, and Wen Ruyan's whole body was wrapped in this blue light.
The cyan magic sword also flashed with a faint blue light, and Chu Jiangkai understood that a student like Wen Ruyan, who was about to complete the enlightenment realm, was an alternative to the society, and he would never have formed a natal magic sword like an unenlightened or beginner student, so Chu Jiangkai was also prepared.
The talisman brought from Jianming Peak was already ready to move, and Chu Jiangkai also quickened his pace towards Wen Ruyan.
