Chapter 61: The Ancient Tower (I)
Ling Xiao followed the head of Hua Yuyan and everyone came to the main hall in the mountain gate, by the mountains and rivers, the road on both sides of the lights are bright, in front of it is a white wall built on the water, about two meters high, covered with black tiles, the wall is built into undulating waves, the red lacquer door of the moon hole in the middle is hidden, there is the sound of the piano and the sound of the song faintly comes, and the black plaque on the door reads "Jade Girl Pie" three bronzing characters. Get closer. The crimson palace seemed to be embedded in the top of a mountain.
Around the main hall, the ancient trees are towering, the green trees are shady, the red walls and yellow tiles are splendid. Ling Xiao seems to hear someone wearing a veil to caress the piano, the sound of the piano flows between the ups and downs of the fingertips, either virtual or real, changeable, like a quiet stream dripping spring clear and ethereal, exquisitely clear, and then the water gathers into a gurgling strong current, with tenacious vitality through the mountains and mountains, reefs and shoals, into the rolling rivers and seas, and finally tends to be calm, only the leisurely overtones, like the waves splashed by the fish jumping on the water.
I saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the main hall was used as a beam, the crystal jade was the lamp, the pearl was the curtain, and the fan gold was the pillar base. The six-foot-wide agarwood bed is hung next to the shark silk treasure tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas. The couch is set up with a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice sticks, and stacked with jade belts. There is a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly, like a bright moon. The ground is paved with white jade, embedded with gold beads, chiseled into the lotus, the flower becomes the appearance of a five-stemmed lotus, the petals are fresh and exquisite, even the stamens are delicate and recognizable, and the barefoot step is only warm and moist, it is actually chiseled into the warm jade of Lantian, straight as the jade lotus is born step by step, so poor and beautiful, finely carved. The inner pillars of these halls are supported by a number of giant red pillars, each of which is engraved with a swirling and lifelike golden dragon, which is particularly spectacular.
It was the first time for Ling Xiao to see it, compared to the Luoyun Sect and the Jade Maiden Sect, it was not a little worse, the most important thing was that the air was full of women's fragrance, and she felt the gentleness of youth. Inside and outside the hall, a group of girls in long skirts are practicing swordsmanship, and some are practicing some exercises and meditation and enlightenment, all saying that there are almost no daughters dancing guns and sticks, and they should practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and teach their husbands and children, but the Jade Girl School is an exception, the women of the Jade Girl School not only practice martial arts, but also have more solid skills than normal male cultivation, cultivation is to cultivate the mind, there are no distractions, the cultivation is smooth, and the breakthrough realm is smoother, Ling Xiao originally thought that the Yuan Shen Period in Heitu Prefecture was already a top existence, and today he passed by the major sects, only to know that his original idea was really the bottom of the well to watch the skyใ
On the road, more women looked at Ling Xiao like a strange animal, Ling Xiao was originally a handsome man in the East, tall, well-proportioned, with strong muscles under the delicate white skin, there was a black mole in the middle of the forehead, Jin Jin had clear eyes, and in the pile of women, he was also a beautiful man with one of the best in the belle. There were more bold female apprentices in groups of three or two, chattering, pointing and pointing, Ling Xiao saw this, quite helpless, his hand touched his face unnaturally, and was stared at by a group of girls to study himself, so that Ling Xiao also felt embarrassed, Ling Xiao looked at Xia Siyao, Xia Siyao turned his eyes to the side, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, Ling Xiao looked at the head of the beautiful woman Hua Yuyan, the head of the house, he understood, coughed lightly, and said: "You don't go to cultivate, what are you doing here, I will let the elders assess you in a while, but those who don't pass the pass will be punished by the door rules!"
Although the head is strict, he usually doesn't care about them, and he often cultivates in the mountain gate, which is not easy, as long as he doesn't go too far, he won't be severely punished if he makes a small mistake, and after listening to the words of the master, he dispersed. Hua Yuyan smiled and said to Ling Xiao: "Our door rules are strict, and we also prohibit disciples from going down the mountain or having contact with the opposite sex without permission, so let the young sect master laugh!" After Ling Xiao heard this, this was the kindness released by the head of the sect to Ling Xiao, and it also proved that Ling Xiao was accepted and recognized. Ling Xiao hurriedly replied: "This time, your faction will come to the rescue, the seniors and the sect will save my life, the juniors will be grateful too late, don't dare to blame, there are no rules, there is no square circle, our Luoyun Sect is also extremely strict in the rules, only strict teachings can make the sect prosperous and immortal." โ
The head nodded lightly when he heard Ling Xiao's words, agreed with Ling Xiao's words, and said: "This time you are seriously injured, you take care of your injuries first, and leave when you are healed!" Hua Yuyan gave Ling Xiao an eviction order, Ling Xiao pondered for a while, and said: "The junior needs three days to recover from his injury, then please apply for a customs clearance disc for me, the junior will also go to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and then go to Yunshui Academy!"
"Oh, I see, I just remembered it, I heard that this year's Luoyun Sect is fighting for another place, it is the young sect master of the Luoyun Sect, but with your late Jindan cultivation, and you can be tough with the late stage demon clan like Jiao, you are also very rare, the most distinctive thing is that you don't have a dantian in your body! I'm curious, you don't have a dantian, and it should be very slim to break through the Yuanshen in the future, but I've heard a legend, do you want to hear it?" The head of the house, Hua Yuyan, was in a very good mood today, and asked Ling Xiao to look well-behaved and polite, so she said a few more words.
"The juniors are listening, please make it clear to the seniors!" Ling Xiao said with a humble face.
"In fact, I also heard rumors, no one is sure whether it is true or false, in the south direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is an ancient tree, called the Pregnant Spirit Tree, the Pregnant Spirit Tree grows into hundreds of millions of years, blooms in a hundred years, bears fruit in a thousand years, and bears fruit in a pregnant spirit fruit, as long as you take it, the body will have another dantian on the basis of the original itself, which is equivalent to your own full release of attacks five times, and you will use up the power in the dantian, if you take the pregnant spirit fruit, it will stay in the dantian after absorption, which is equivalent to your whole body releasing attacks ten times, double the strength, for monks, they are very excited, if you take the pregnant spirit fruit, it will also be quite a life-saving hole cardใ The head of the house, Hua Yuyan, said with a yearning face. It seems that the head of the Jade Girl Sect, who has always been in love, is also a baby that makes her heart flutter.
"The junior dares to ask, have the seniors ever pursued the Pregnancy Spirit Tree?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"A hundred years ago, this sect and the elders went to the south of the Heavenly Sword Sect to trace the traces of the Pregnant Spirit Tree, that time, in addition to us, there were also scattered cultivators, masters of the Black Lotus Sect, including the Heavenly Sword Sect, the elite gathered, except for us, there was no trace of the Divine Tree, and in the end it was fruitless, but the people's desire is difficult to peace, competitiveness, killing people and grabbing treasures, it is also dangerous, in fact, the most dangerous is our human beings themselves. Hua Yuyan said with a light sigh.
Ling Xiao and the saintess Xia Siyao listened attentively, with a teachable face, this conversation, Ling Xiao has a very important information, whether this legend is true or not, Ling Xiao has to explore, no matter whether it is success or failure, there are no regrets, Ling Xiao secretly decided.
Hua Yuyan turned her head and said to Xia Siyao again: "This time you violated the rules of the sect, you have to accept the punishment! It's okay to go to the cliff to think about it?" Xia Siyao bowed her head slightly and said, "The disciple is willing to accept the punishment!" Ling Xiao knew the meaning and hurriedly said: "If you need me to do something, I will be punished on behalf of Miss Si Yao!"
Si Yao's body trembled, she didn't expect that Ling Xiao would take the initiative to stop the punishment on herself, and the head Hua Yuyan was also surprised, so she paused and said: "Yes, you can, but you have to go to the Taigu Tower to replace Si Yao's punishment, in fact, Si Yao's punishment is not serious, and she has only been facing the wall for three months." โ
Ling Xiao said again: "No matter how dangerous it is, a man must bear it, and what I promise must be done!" Looking at Ling Xiao's firm eyes, Xia Siyao's eyes flashed a strange color, Hua Yuyan was also very pleased, and she was sure that Ling Xiao was a person who valued love and righteousness. also has a good impression of Ling Xiao. In a gentle tone, he asked Ling Xiao again: "Have you thought about it, now that you regret coming in time, it will be easy to fall when you enter the Taigu Tower!"
"The younger generation has already thought about it, and I don't regret it!" Ling Xiao said firmly to Hua Yuyan. Xia Siyao wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't speak. Ling Xiao saw it in his eyes, in fact, the rules are dead, people are alive, and what Ling Xiao did was affirmed by the head and the saint.
"Okay, in that case, you will go to Taikoo Tower in three days! Now, arrange a guest room for you and go to recover your body!" Hua Yuyan said.
Ling Xiao respectfully retired, and the maid came again, bringing Ling Xiao into the guest room.
