Volume 1: Looking at the Galaxy Chapter 11: Shadows Under the Moon (1)

At the time of feeding, Han Dong, who ordered two servings of soybeans, couldn't help but show a trace of surprise to the old man, as if he was curious about how he could relieve the strong liquor contained in the beans, and it was still two servings at all.

After Han Dong sat down at the table, he just lowered his head to eat in a sullen voice, and ignored Zhong Ling'er and Huang Hao, who were also eating in the dining hall not far away, and the two of them were no longer bored.

A trace of worry flashed in his eyes from time to time, he thought that he only needed to solve the rude and brainless Zhong Ling'er to solve this matter, and he didn't want to involve a Huang Hao. Although this person gives him the feeling that he is not very old, his mind is changeable, and he is not as straightforward as he appears.

At least in Han Dong's eyes, the importance of Huang Hao is definitely far greater than Zhong Ling'er.

Speaking of which, that short and stout figure is still quite capable of bluffing.

During the meal, the other two cultivators who Han Dong had never met also came to the dining hall one after another.

One of them was slender, slightly feminine in appearance, and looked polite, and on the outside, he should be seven or eight years old. This person should be familiar with other people, and they all greeted or nodded when they walked with Zhong Ling'er and others.

The other has slightly dark skin, a slightly thin body, and does not speak much. Purely from the outside, it seems to be even smaller than Han Dong. It's just that it seems to be a little cramped in the face of the rest of the people, and there is also an invisible and deliberate distance between walking, which makes it seem a little maverick.

The weak young man took the initiative to nod when he met his gaze, and he only nodded in response. Seeing that he had no intention of talking, the weak young man only stopped at the point and did not take the initiative to approach.

Han Dong was worried at this time, and naturally he was not in the mood to get acquainted with the two.

After running out of meals, Han Dong went straight to the Gengzihao retreat room, and the top priority was to devote himself to cultivation and strengthen his body. Again, in his opinion, as long as these two people didn't advance to the general knowledge realm within this month, he had a chance!

What he needs to do now is to use this month to improve his cultivation and strength as much as possible, and continue to increase his chances of winning through penance bit by bit!

In the Gengzi quiet room, Han Dong took out the Gu Yuan Dan and put it under his tongue, swept away all his thoughts, and condensed his mind to recite the spiritual formula.

Under the guidance of the spiritual formula, the spiritual power contained in the body suddenly exploded, and it was even more powerful and ferocious than the spiritual power tide that broke out in the first refining of the bean, and in an instant, it merged into a surging tide, and they all rushed towards the spine of the body.

At the same time, bursts of mellow and lingering wine evaporated, and they all rushed to the mind where the divine thought was.

However, Han Dong had already prepared now, enduring the swelling pain under the squeeze of spiritual power and the shaking of his divine thoughts, and the cool aura that was constantly secreted from under his tongue was divided into two ways. One stayed in the spiritual sea, wrapped in the condensed divine thoughts, and resisted the strong drunken intrusion, and the other way entered from the divine court, spread along the spiritual axis to the back of the head, and then poured down, wrapping the swelling and fever of the spine.

Although the spiritual power contained in the two beans suddenly exploded and became much stronger, the spiritual energy mass formed by this Guyuan Pill was extremely tough, whether it was the smoking of wine in the divine thoughts, or the strong spiritual power impact in the spine, it did not shake in the slightest.

Sensing the stability of his divine thoughts and the spiritual energy in his body, Han Dong completely sank his mind at this time, and guided the tide of spiritual power to rush up along the spine veins with all his concentration, rushing straight to the unknown layer of diaphragm in the spiritual sea, starting a new round of washing.

......

In the dining hall, the children who have finished their meals one after another have also made their own arrangements.

After the slightly dull thin black-faced young man returned the food tray, he just nodded shyly to the old man, and walked away quickly, heading alone to the southwest outside the courtyard.

The gentle young man sat down with Zhong Ling'er and Huang Hao to chat for a few words, and then left on his own. When he went out, looking at his direction, he should have entered the retreat room directly like Han Dong.

Huang Hao still looked like a dog's leg in front of Zhong Ling'er, and Zhong Ling'er didn't notice anything wrong, let alone think about anything. Just opened his mouth and commanded a few words as usual, and after Huang Hao nodded in response, he left straight for the retreat room.

Huang Hao, who stayed in place, checked the arrow in his hand, the light flashed in his eyes, and he took a breath gently. He did not stay any longer, but turned and went in a south-west direction.

After the old man left the children's door, he still sat behind the cupboard crookedly, leaning against the wall and cocking Erlang's legs, pecking at the wine in the yellow gourd......

......

The moon falls on the west tip, such as hanging a white jade hook.

A few miles away from the children's compound, there is a waterhole that occupies a space and is several miles in size. The frost over the waterhole was suddenly dyed with a layer of silver veil under the night sky, and the moonlight falling on the water seemed to be soaked in cold coldness, flickering from time to time in the slight ripples between the cobblestones.

Around the waterhole are several gravel paths that pierce the deep darkness of the forest and wind their way to the waterhole.

After each stone path probed into the pool, it became a stone pile road, and there was a round stone exposed on the water surface every other time, and the round stone was soaked in the cold pool all the year round, and it was smooth as a mirror.

There are almost no traces of birds and beasts near the cold pool, naturally because this waterhole is cold, standing on the edge of the jungle near this pool for more than ten zhang, you can still feel the chill coming.

A slender figure in a plain white skirt jumped up and down among the cobblestones in the pool, adding a lot of agility to the cold frost moon and cold pool night.

As the night breeze came, the silver-white frost on the waterhole turned like mist, looming the lively and graceful white dress figure.

At this time, the sound of footsteps in the jungle not far away was heard 'click, click, click, click', which was particularly crisp around this quiet cold pool, and the sound of the soles of shoes hitting the rubble echoed back and forth among the shadowed trees.

The jumping figure in the frost shrank back after hearing the sound, and completely disappeared into the frost.

In a few moments, with the help of the clear moonlight, a smart figure jumped out of the bushes. I saw that his pace was brisk, with a slight jump between walks, and a pair of small hands waved and flicked, which seemed to be quite self-satisfied.

This childlike figure jumping up and walking is naturally Han Dong. After he finished his practice, he saw that it was the time when the moon was sinking in the west and the sky was shining (3 to 5 o'clock), so he temporarily decided to go to the cold water pool located in the northwest direction of the monk's courtyard to take a look at the situation and step on it.

After approaching this cold pool, it was obvious that the chill was a lot stronger. However, he has been nourished by pills since he was a child, and his body is stable, and he can still bear the overflowing chill of the cold pool, as long as he does not fall into the cold pool, it should not be a big problem.

In the light of the clear moonlight, he looked around a few times and found a deep well in a clearing near the cold pool. There is also a black shadow in the shape of a wooden sign on the side of the well, and several pairs of round objects are piled up under the wooden card.

Han Dong's heart moved, and he walked towards the well.

When I came to the well, I glanced down, and all I saw was the depth of the black hole, and the moonlight could not reach the depths of the deep well, so I couldn't see what was going on in the well at this time. After a brief glance, Han Dong was no longer curious about the situation in the well, and instead came to the wooden sign set up next to the well, and used the moonlight to identify the words engraved on the wooden card.

Skip the three big characters engraved on the top of the wooden plaque 'Cold Water Pool', look down, and read the relevant introduction.

"The cultivator takes the black vine basket into the center of the cold pool and takes the frost grass, and a frost grass can get an exchange point. Han Dong glanced at the ground next to the wooden sign, and realized that those round and black things were black rattan baskets.

"The frost grass only grows in the middle of the cold pool, and the cold pool is cold, so the cultivators should be careful after entering the pool. ”

"Putting frost grass needs to grow to the three-leaf standard to get exchange points, and putting frost grass that does not reach three-leaf into the well will deduct one exchange point. ”

"You can get three exchange points by placing Five-Leaf Frost Grass, and five exchange points can be obtained by placing Seven Leaf Frost Grass. Reading this, Han Dong's eyes lit up, it seemed that there seemed to be another mystery in the center of this cold water pool, and this so-called frost grass was actually divided into three, five, and seven leaves. As for the frost grass below the three leaves, he naturally didn't care, he naturally wouldn't be so stupid.

"When you place the Frost Grass, you insert the Arrow into the groove at the edge of the Frost Well, and the exchange points will be calculated by itself. ”

Han Dong let out a sigh of relief, he already had a preliminary understanding of the rules for obtaining frost grass in this cold pool, he turned his gaze to the churning frost, and groaned in his heart.

Although it is late at night, the moon is clear tonight, and I think that I should be able to barely illuminate the path when I enter the pond at this time.

Turning his head, the cobblestones on the cold pool looked smooth and round under the clear moon, as if they were enjoying the bath of the moonlight.

As soon as the thought came to mind, Han Dong couldn't hold it back anymore.

Anyway, at this time, you need to wait for nearly two hours to go back to the children's courtyard before it is time for the morning meal, so it is better to take this opportunity to earn some exchange points.

Thinking about it like this, without hesitation, Han Dong reached out and grabbed the ears of the two black vine baskets at his feet, and stepped forward.

There was a soft sound, but it was Han Dong's body that was unbalanced, and he almost fell to the ground.

He held a black rattan basket in both hands, and his face was gloomy.

Isn't this monk of the Aoki Sect idle and painful? It is okay to set up a cold pool with a biting chill as a test for the cultivation of children, and it is understandable to set up a cobblestone pile in the pool, you are okay to make a basket containing a few grasses weigh dozens of catties, isn't it sick?

He weighed the black rattan basket in his hand, not to mention more than 30 catties, although he was able to pick it up with not very hard work, but it did not mean that he could jump freely in the cold pool.

His eyes swept over the round and smooth cobblestones, and he couldn't help but think of what he would look like when he jumped up with this thing in his hand...... Suddenly, a black line came out of his forehead!

Sick, neurotic!

Han Dong complained weakly in his heart, holding the round black rattan basket in both hands, and walked towards the edge of the cold water pool.

Under the moonlight, a small figure was stretched slender by the moonlight, jumping from time to time on the deep black pool that occasionally flashed with a ripple of silver light, rising and falling, and staggering into the crowded silver white frost mist......
