Chapter 198: The Strange Chicken Paw Tree
Qin saw the painful look on Li Yi's face in the Water Moon Cave Heaven, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to stand awkwardly beside him, silent. It is said that this matter is someone's own business after all, and he has no position as an outsider to make irresponsible comments. However, this Lingyin Building is related to the foundation of the Beihai cultivation world and even the world of Tian Yuan, and he is not allowed to be a little indecisive.
Qin Guan waited for a while, and Master Li's expression also regained some calm, and then he said: "Master Li, I came here this time, not only to help your sect resist that Lingyin Tower, but also to let Shuiyue Cave Heaven join our Cultivation Alliance. The Xiulian is not a monopoly organization that combines vertical and horizontal, but to defend against foreign enemies and pacify the North Sea, so Master Li doesn't have to worry. ”
Li Yixian nodded and said, "Palace Master Qin doesn't need to explain too much, I understand everything." At the moment of the great enemy, my Shuiyue Cave Heaven naturally wants someone to help. Xiu Lian is willing to send someone to help, of course we are eager to wait. But although I am the head of the Water Moon Cave Heaven, I am not only able to say the big and small things of the Water Moon Cave Heaven, but I also have to solicit the opinions of most people to make the trip. Qin Palace Lord, please allow me for a while, and when I have convinced all the elders in the door, can I give the Qin Palace Lord a satisfactory answer?"
Qin Guan is naturally indispensable: "Master Li doesn't need to worry, although this matter is important, but for now, let's solve the matter of Lingyin Building first." However, when Master Li persuaded the elders of the sect, he could talk about the benefits of joining my Cultivation Alliance, and I would slowly tell Master Li about it. ”
A day later, the spies of Lingyin Tower had already arrived in the temporary camp to report the situation, and when the commander found out, he was naturally overjoyed. Although I don't know why there are still the rest of the disciples outside the mountain gate, they have just returned. But after all, if he was able to capture the Water Moon Cave Heaven in one go, it would be the icing on the cake for his mission this time, and perhaps as soon as the altar master was happy, he would be able to allocate him more cultivation resources.
"Okay, in that case, let's set off to conquer the Water Moon Cave Heaven. When I have completed this mission, when I return to the main altar, I will definitely invite you to take credit!" the commander promised a reward in front of all his men, and then asked everyone to gather their men and prepare to set off to attack the Water Moon Cave Heaven.
On the other side, Qin Guan rested in the Water Moon Cave Heaven for a day, although the concentration of spiritual energy here was not as good as Fang Cun Mountain, and even the Lingshan Bazaar, but after all, he had reached the bottleneck, and no matter how hard he cultivated, he could not improve, so he had the right to be a pastime.
The Water Moon Cave Heaven arranged a residence for the monks who came to the Cultivation Alliance, although the area in the Water Moon Cave Heaven was not large, but it was only more than 2,000 people to accommodate the monks of the Cultivation Alliance, which was more than enough. However, the largest area occupied by Shuiyue Cave is not a man-made building, but countless strange flowers and plants, which are comparable to the types in Fangcun Mountain.
The person who guided him on Qin Guan's side was Zhou Zheng, who went to Lingshan for help, and he kept introducing the strange flowers and buildings around Qin Guan in front of Qin Guan: "Qin Palace Lord, please see, this flower is called Butterfly Language, because when it blooms, it will definitely attract butterflies within a radius of ten miles. Although it does not have any magical effect, it is full of floral fragrance, and it is the favorite decoration worn by the female cultivators in my Water Moon Cave Heaven. ”
Qin Guan a man, who didn't have any preference for this kind of flower that was just fragrant, just nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
Then after taking a few steps forward, Zhou Zheng pointed to a cluster of purple and red flowers on the side and said: "Qin Palace Master, this cluster of flowers is another kind of spiritual flower that is rare in Beihai, called colored satin, and I like to use this kind of flower the most when the monks in the Water Moon Cave Heaven dye their clothes." The color dyed with this flower is not only gorgeous, but also does not fade for a long time, and it is the most common thing in my sect to exchange for spirit stones with the wandering chamber of commerce. ”
Qin Guan asked curiously, "Oh, could it be that there is still a chamber of commerce that can actually find the location of the Water Moon Cave Heaven?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head: "This is not true, but the aura in my Water Moon Cave is not strong, and the spiritual grass and spiritual flowers planted will consume a lot of spiritual energy, and the rest of the spiritual energy is already stretched thin for us monks, so naturally there are no spiritual stones to produce." But after all, my Water Moon Cave Heaven can't produce all the cultivation resources, and my Water Moon Cave Heaven is not good at casting magic weapons, and I have to rely on spirit stones to buy them, so naturally I have to produce them to get spirit stones to buy magic weapons. These planted exotic flowers and plants, although most of the effects are ornamental, but there are also many with peculiar effects, in exchange for enough spirit stones. However, after all, there are regulations in the door, and the monks of the Jindan period rarely go out to travel, and they can enter and exit freely, except for my uncle and a few others, there is no one else. ”
Qin Guan touched his chin, so that he could make sense, why it was Li Yixian's junior brother who colluded with Lingyin Lou in the Water Moon Cave Heaven, because of the convenience of his position, he was able to cooperate with Lingyin Lou inside and outside.
He said, "Then do you know which people in the sect your uncle usually has close relationships with?"
Zhou Zheng frowned and thought for a while before he said: "It's hard to say about this matter, after all, there are not many monks in the Water Moon Cave Heaven, and the uncles and uncles of the Jindan period are only those people together." On weekdays, they all practice in their own caves, rarely come out to gather, and their relationship with each other is almost the same, and it is impossible to say who has a close relationship with whom. However, my uncle is a rare warm-hearted person in the Water Moon Cave, and he likes to help others the most, as long as someone in the door has any difficulties, he is always the first to rush to the front to solve problems for others, so everyone loves him very much. Who knows, knowing people and faces, but not hearts, it will be him who betrayed us!" After saying that, he gritted his teeth angrily.
Qin Guan chuckled: "This is interesting, what is such a person who likes to help others for?
Zhou Zheng said: "If this matter is someone else, it is really difficult. But if it were my uncle, it would be very simple. Every time he comes back from outside, he can't tell when he will enter the master's gate, and because of his habit, my master also gave him the right to act cheaply, and transferred some of the authority of the mountain protection array, so if he can open the big array at any time and bring back a few people, it will be a breeze. Just like me, before going out this time, the master privately gave me some permission to protect the mountain, saying that in case the sect falls, the secret vault in the gate may still be able to store things, and there is a mountain protection array, and he told me to come back and find something that can be used after the enemy retreats. But it's not needed anymore. "After all, I don't know whether it's regret or rejoicing.
Qin Guan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Where is your senior uncle now?" Although it is difficult for outsiders to intervene in the affairs of your sect, I still have to go and find out the news, maybe I can learn some clues about Lingyin Building from your senior uncle's mouth." ”
Zhou Zheng scratched his head: "Master, he didn't tell me what happened to Uncle Shi, that is, he had been detained, but he didn't tell me where he was locked up, saying that I had a big mouth, maybe he would leak out the place of detention." With that, he stretched lazily.
Qin Guan silently thought as he walked: "Li Yixian has his reasons for doing this, after all, he doesn't know how many people in the Water Moon Cave Heaven are united with his junior disciples, and they want to subvert their own master for the Lingyin Building, so it is also appropriate to be cautious." But if you don't even tell your own apprentices, you're a little too cautious, isn't it?
There is nothing wrong with him thinking so, after all, although Zhou Zheng is lazy, he can leave from Shuiyue Cave Heaven and take his junior sister to Lingshan for help, and he should not hide it from him for this brain. But since Li Yixian did this, he must have his own ideas, maybe he didn't get any clues from his junior brother at all, so he had to do this, so that the people in the door could mess up and see the truth of the matter clearly.
Qin Guan and the others were walking slowly, and suddenly a straight slender tree appeared in front of them, although it looked a little malnourished, but that vigorous appearance was still a little bit of a backbone.
Qin Guan looked at the strange tree in front of him in amazement: there were a few yellow-green leaves hanging sparsely on the canopy, and there were only three branches sticking out, which looked like chicken paws, which was not beautiful at all. It is said that judging from the fact that Shuiyue Cave Heaven cultivates so many strange flowers and plants, this strange-looking and unpleasant plant should not enter the eyes of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, why should it be planted in the door, and looking at the surrounding soil moisture, it is still often irrigated.
Qin Guan asked Zhou Zheng beside him in confusion, and Zhou Zheng replied: "The Qin Palace Lord doesn't know, this strange tree was left by my ancestor of the Water Moon Cave Heaven. Although even the patriarch didn't know what the name of this tree was, but for more than 2,000 years, this tree has not changed at all, and the heads of the past generations have instructed the disciples in the sect to take good care of it, maybe if this tree grows strongly, they can discover the secret. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said, "But according to my guess, this tree should not be a species of too low grade, just by looking at its thousands of years to grow so many inches, you can know that the time it needs to grow will not be short." Maybe when I have cultivated to the stage of infancy, and then after I die, I won't see this tree grow. He was a little arrogant when he said this, and he was actually sure that he could cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage. You must know that Li Yixian, who has the highest cultivation in the Water Moon Cave Heaven now, is only in the Jindan Consummation, and there is still a distance from the peak, and he still doesn't know how many years it has been to the stage of becoming a baby in the Broken Dan. As a disciple of Li Yixian, Zhou Zheng, who is now just a foundation building monk, actually dared to claim that he could cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage, which couldn't help but make Qin Guan a little impressed.
He smiled and said, "You are confident, you actually think that you will definitely be able to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage?"
Zhou Zheng explained solemnly, not like his usual lazy appearance: "Qin Palace Master, this thing is my expectation since I was a child. And my master also said that my qualifications are much better than his, although I have only been cultivating for ten years, but I have already reached the late stage of foundation building, and in a few years, it is estimated that I will be able to promote Jindan. I still have a lot of time to impact Yuanying. But the master said that the golden pill is easy to enter, but the yuan infant is difficult to cultivate. In my Shuiyue Cave Heaven, there can be dozens of Jindan disciples in each generation, and even thousands of years ago, when there were Yuanying monks in the door, the number of Jindan disciples once reached a hundred. Maybe it's related to my Water Moon Cave Heaven exercises, and the speed of cultivation is very fast. But in recent years, there are no monks in the sect who have cultivated to become Yuanying, and there are fewer and fewer monks in the Jindan period, but there are more than 20 people at the worst, and among the hundreds of people, more than 20 people are Jindan monks, and this ratio is the top among the five major sects, right?"
"Yes! Although there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of monks in the five major sects, most of them are monks below the foundation building period, and the rest are Yuanying monks and Jindan monks. Qin Guan said.
"Ah, a monk in the Transformation Stage, that's really too far away!" Zhou Zheng exhaled, what was going on in his heart, Qin Guan naturally didn't know. However, looking at Zhou Zheng's face, he must be cheering himself up, so as to inherit his master's ambition to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage and shoulder the burden of the master.
Qin Guan walked to the side of the "chicken paw" tree, gently stroked the trunk twice with his hand, and thought of his master in his heart. His master, Ling Xiaozi, although he was only a monk in the middle stage of Jindan, was a precarious person in the Beihai cultivation world, and he couldn't even get a small piece of spiritual land in the hinterland of Beihai. Even if he went to the edge of the North Sea, he ended up with his body disintegrating because his cultivation was not high. If it weren't for the fact that there was a portrait around him that could hold the soul, it would be destroyed in his own hands that the three Qingqing Temples of Qingliang Mountain would have been destroyed. That is the hard work of his life, although there are only two old servants in the view, and Qingliang Mountain is just a spiritual land that is not as good as the grade, but after all, it is a shelter that he has only created for hundreds of years. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Guan descended from heaven in the end, and it happened to be caught by the two of Qingjing and Qingxuan in the sea, the three Qingguan of Qingliang Mountain would really be submerged in the North Sea.
Zhou Zheng saw that Qin Guan was pondering, and he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait silently on the side. Just when Qin Guan's right hand had just left the trunk, a vision suddenly happened: the branches of the tree suddenly became windless, and a few blue-yellow leaves suddenly fell one by one and landed on Qin Guan's hand.
