Chapter 25: The Outer Gate
The black-clothed deacon looked at Gu Cheng as he spoke, and she was still staring at the sword with good eyes.
As the sword body flipped over, Gu Cheng's eyes seemed to flash with a little starlight.
Gu Cheng held the cold hilt of the sword, caressing the smooth body of the Silver Star Sword, and his heart burned like fire.
She had a strong premonition in her heart that all her prayers and ambitions in this other world could be fulfilled through the sword.
When Gu Cheng was reading the book, he was curious about why the cultivation of sword cultivation was so hard, and many monks still chose swords as their weapons. She simply attributed the reason to the sheer power of the sword.
When she got the sword, she vaguely felt that the sword was worthy of her trust, and even worthy of entrusting her own life to it.
The black-clothed deacon looked at Gu Cheng's starry eyes and sighed inwardly, "The Sword Sect has another sword idiot. ”
Thinking that he himself had been the same, his face showed a bit of appreciation, and he opened his mouth to remind Gu Cheng: "Master and nephew, put away the sword, the monk has been going on for several years, and the future will be long." ”
When Gu Cheng heard this, he raised his eyes to look at the black-clothed deacon and said, "Uncle Xie mentions!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, a little less politeness between the uncle and the nephew, and more sympathy and sympathy between the monks.
"I have a question that I would like to ask Uncle Teacher?" Gu Cheng asked.
The black-clothed deacon bowed his head and said, "But it doesn't hurt to ask. ”
"I heard Uncle Song say before that the Sword Sect should hone its sword momentum and test it against others, and then it is necessary to comprehend the sword qi, sword domain and sword intent. But there was no mention of swordsmanship, and Uncle Shi, you only gave me basic spells, not swordsmanship. ”
The black-clothed deacon smiled when he heard this, and said, "The Sword Sect of the Ten Thousand Sects specializes in swords, not only swords, but also the Dharma Rune Dan Array Dao, and there are people in the sect who practice. With the different spiritual roots, the swordsmanship cultivated is also different. Not to mention that between sword cultivation, the teachers are different, and each vein has a swordsmanship that is not passed on.
Although the monks all know the sharpness of the sword and the great power, they yearn for it. However, everything has come from ancient times, and those who have traveled a hundred miles are half ninety. After speaking, a look of regret flashed in his eyes.
The strange color in his eyes flickered, and his words also paused, staring at Gu Cheng's eyes and continuing: "The arduous task of cultivating a sword, you will know it when you practice sword strength, regardless of anything else. ”
Seeing Gu Cheng nodded with a serious face, but still holding the sword in his hand, he explained to her: "Put the sword in the storage bag in the early stage of qi refining, and put it in the dantian to nourish in the middle and late stage of qi refining." ”
Gu Cheng put away his sword when he heard this, "May I ask Uncle Shi when he will find you to climb the ladder on the twentieth of next month." ”
"On the twentieth day of the coming month, you will come to the inner gate deacon's hall to look for me. As he spoke, he handed a small white jade plate one inch square to Gu Cheng, and then said: "From today onwards, you will be a disciple of the outer gate, and you can give the inner gate pass token to the inner gate guard disciple at that time." ”
"Okay uncle, I understand. Gu Cheng took the jade plaque with both hands, thanked the black-clothed deacon, and turned around to leave.
The black-clothed deacon asked, "Aren't you curious about how the Temptation Ladder is tested?"
Gu Cheng turned to look at the deacon and said, "The ladder of testing the heart is set up for the trial of the heart, and the people in the world have very different thoughts, so it may be difficult for Uncle Shi to explain it for a while." ”
"It's been a long time, but are you confident?" said the black-clothed deacon.
Gu Cheng looked at the black-clothed deacon and smiled, but did not speak.
"Hahaha, the disciples of the Sword Sect just don't flinch! The black-clad deacon laughed.
Gu Cheng bowed, turned around and walked out of the deacon's hall.
Outside the main hall, there was still a scene of dead trees.
"It's really not spring, and it's dry in winter, although the years of cultivating immortals are long, but they are also fleeting, and if you don't pay attention to it, another year has passed. Gu Cheng sighed in his heart.
Gu Cheng was not confident about climbing the ladder of the heart test, on the contrary, she knew that she had too many thoughts from the beginning of her cultivation.
Because of the knowledge she had accumulated in her previous life, her thinking had already formed a fixed situation, which not only could not help her cultivation in this life, but on the contrary, it hindered it.
Gu Cheng lived in an advanced society in her previous life, and she had no setbacks, with the love of her relatives and the help of her friends, she was smooth and worry-free.
She doesn't have to go out of her way to calculate others, and she doesn't bother to calculate others, after all, what she wants can be obtained with strength.
But in this life, she was first born in the feudal Hou Mansion, and later came to the world of cultivating immortals where strength is respected. She has a lot of secrets hidden in her heart, and she can only live carefully, how can she be like a real child.
However, this time is also a good opportunity to show the loopholes in her state of mind when her cultivation is not high, so as to avoid the formation of inner demons in her subsequent cultivation.
Gu Cheng thought in his heart, gathered his spiritual power in his legs, and ran towards the outer door quickly.
She ran very fast, and the dry leaves on the road were carried up by her figure, and quickly fell behind her, and she had already run to the outer gate in more than an hour.
Thinking back to before cultivating, she had to walk for several hours on the mountain road from the inner gate to the outer gate, but now it only takes more than an hour to walk.
Once they realized the extraordinary power of a monk, no one wanted to increase their cultivation.
When I arrived at the outer gate, I found the deacon hall at the outer gate after a while.
Although the deacon hall of the outer gate is called "hall", it is also a large hall with carved beams and painted buildings, and the pattern on the carved hall is more delicate than that of the inner door.
Gu Cheng stepped over the stone steps and walked into the hall, and there were not too many people in the hall unexpectedly.
The layout of the hall and the inner gate deacon hall was no different, and Gu Cheng walked to a long case.
Before he could speak, he heard a middle-aged uncle with thick eyebrows and a black face behind the long case say, "The task of the initial stage of Qi refining this month has been dispatched, let's come back next month." ”
"Hello Uncle Shi, I'm not here to receive the task. My name is Gu Cheng, and I am a disciple of the New Life Academy who has just broken through the third layer of Qi refining. Gu Cheng waved his hand and explained.
"You're lucky to be lucky for this time breakthrough, and it's time for the new students to start entering the door next month. Uncle Shi said, with thick eyebrows and a black face.
"I am indeed extremely lucky, may I ask what Uncle Shi calls me, and can you assign me a cave mansion. Gu Cheng said.
"My surname is Zhao, you come with me to the back room to choose the cave mansion. He stood up.
"Okay, Uncle Zhao. Gu Cheng also stepped forward to follow.
The two of them walked in a moment to a white wall behind the screen of the main hall.
Uncle Zhao stood in front of the white wall, quickly flipped his hands, and played a trick, and the wall disappeared in an instant, revealing a staircase.
"Keep up!" Uncle Zhao stepped up the stairs and said to Gu Cheng.
"Yes, Uncle Shi!"
Walking up the stairs, Gu Cheng felt like a dream, as if she had climbed many steps, but her mind was a little chaotic, she didn't know how many steps she had climbed, and she could only follow Uncle Zhao closely.
Gu Cheng and the two walked for a moment, Uncle Zhao suddenly stood still, and a large room five or six zhang wide and six or seven zhang long appeared in front of Gu Cheng's eyes, and the room was empty.
"Gu Cheng, your disciple card. A jade note appeared in Uncle Zhao's hand and turned to her.
Gu Cheng hurriedly handed the disciple card to Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao took the disciple card and began to burn it, reading while burning: "Gu Cheng, a disciple of the outer sect, cultivates to the third layer of qi refining, the spiritual root is nine into eight for water, eight into seven for wood, and five into six for fire. Burned here, Senior Uncle Zhao's hand paused slightly, and his eyes glanced at Gu Cheng, "Born in the secular world, Ji Xiao of the Refining Peak was introduced into the sect. ”
After burning, he put away the jade paper and returned the disciple card to her: "It's okay, you have officially become an outer disciple now, do you want to major in sword in the future, or do you want to cultivate something else?"
"Since you have joined the Ten Thousand Yuan Sword Sect, of course you want to cultivate the sword. Gu Cheng replied.
"I see that you are the purest of the two spiritual roots of Shuimu, and among them, you are also the most affinity for Shuimu aura, you can pick a cave in the mountains of Shuiyuan Sword Peak and Muyuan Sword Peak.
The water and wood aura in the outer gate of these two mountain ranges is particularly abundant, and among the mountains and rocks, there will be traces left by senior brothers and sisters practicing swords, which can help you comprehend sword qi. ”
Uncle Zhao said that a model of a mountain stone appeared on the floor, in which waterfalls, rivers, trees, roads, and buildings were scattered, and the model was scattered with red and yellow light spots.
"It's so delicate, this model should be a magic weapon. When I listened to the class, I knew that the alchemy of the Ten Thousand Yuan Sword Sect was second to none in the Qingli Continent, and it really lived up to its reputation. Gu Cheng sighed in his heart.
"These yellow highlights are uninhabited caves, and red ones are inhabited highlights, you see where you are going to choose. Uncle Zhao said to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng looked at the dense highlights, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.
Senior Uncle Zhao looked at Gu Cheng and looked at the model speechlessly, and also saw her embarrassment, and said: "Your water spirit root has the highest purity, and you may practice water swordsmanship in the future, so how about choosing this place." ”
Gu Cheng saw that the points of light around the cave here had turned red, and it was not far from the teaching hall, the outer teaching hall was not far from the inner door, and the aura was very abundant, and the aura of this cave should not be bad.
She didn't have a huge treasure like the heroine, and there was no reason to live in isolation, of course, she had to choose a place full of spiritual energy when choosing a cave, and this cave house was right for her.
"Okay, this is it, thank you Uncle Zhao for helping me choose. Gu Cheng said to Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao bowed his head, a little above the light point, burned the jade plate in the lower right corner of the model, and said to Gu Cheng: "In the future, this will be your cave mansion, and if you want to change the cave mansion in the future, you need to report to the deacon hall, I will take you to check in, help you fight the ban, and then slowly talk to you about some outer door matters on the way." ”
"Okay, thank you, uncle. Gu Cheng replied.
"You come with me. ”
Uncle Zhao took Gu Cheng and walked down the dreamlike staircase, out of the main hall, and walked towards the Xuanhao Cave Mansion.
