Volume 1 Entering the Sect Chapter 43 The Dark Hall
"Piaoxiang Restaurant" is the largest restaurant near Cangyue School, this restaurant has five floors, of which the first and second floors are halls, and the third to fifth floors are single rooms. And every time this restaurant is higher, its luxury level is higher, and the cost is more expensive. It is said that the cost of each table on the fifth floor is hundreds of spirit stones, which is not something that ordinary monks can afford.
At this time, in a private room on the third floor of the restaurant, there were a few people eating and drinking.
"Come, come, let's try this "stewed dragon", which is the signature dish here. Zhou Huzi was very enthusiastic and sandwiched a piece for everyone on the table.
There are five people in the private room, except for Zhou Huzi, the rest are Zhao Liang, Zheng Qian, Yang Zhan, and Gao Jing.
"Delicious. After Zheng Qian took a bite, he applauded loudly.
And Yang Zhan even ate the flying dragon meat on the plate in one go.
Even Zhao Liang, who has always been open-faced, nodded with satisfaction.
The flying dragon is a kind of flower-tailed hazelnut chicken that lives in cold areas all year round, and it is extremely delicious, and when it comes to food in the secular world, it is said that "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground", in which the dragon meat refers to this flying dragon.
And Zhou Huzi invited everyone to eat this time, and this "stewed flying dragon" was made of a flying dragon demon beast in the early stage of spiritual attraction. Its taste is full of praise for everyone, and you can feel a breath of aura slowly absorbed by the body when you eat it.
Although everyone can eat demon beast meat every day in the sect, the demon beast meat in the sect not only has a poor taste of the meat itself, but also the chef's craftsmanship is even worse. Today's delicious food makes everyone feel that the trip is worthwhile.
"Come, let's try the famous wine here "Liuxiang Brew", which is the most famous local spirit wine. Under Zhou Huzi's warm hospitality, even Gao Jing, who had been decadent for a long time, recovered some of his spirits.
While Zhao Liang was eating and drinking, he was also observing a few people in the room, which was his own team when he first joined the sect. It's been eight years now, and everyone else is here except for Wang Qi, who was driven down the mountain early.
It's just that a few people who were not much different in all aspects back then have now distanced themselves.
Among these people, Zheng Qian has become his right-hand man, and now many things are handled by him. Although Zheng Qian is also greedy for small money from time to time, this person has a certain sense of the overall situation, and the most important thing is to be loyal to himself. Especially after Zheng Qian recently got a girlfriend, he is getting better and better.
And Yang Zhan, who was eating food next to him, was very close to Zheng Qian in all aspects at the beginning, but later found that this person was extremely small. It's okay to be responsible for a little thing, but the slightly older ones are not reassuring, and it's not as good as the newcomers who joined later.
Seeing Gao Jing eating silently on the side, Zhao Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Gao Jing is almost useless, and his cultivation is only the fifth layer of qi refining, or the kind with the least spiritual power. Now Gao Jing is the worst cultivator among the few people in the house, which is really a waste of his Twin Spirit Root qualifications.
Gao Jing has hardly participated in the party in recent years, and I don't know how Zhou Huzi called him.
Gao Jing's current situation is still related to Wang Qi, although he heard Zhao Liang talk about Wang Qi's current situation, Gao Jing still does not give up.
The first time Gao Jing went down the mountain after coming to the sect was to find Wang Qi, and after returning, he became depressed. Especially after this person returned from the mountain last year, he began to give up on himself.
Although Gao Jing didn't say anything to others, Zhao Liang knew that he went down the mountain to find Wang Qi, but unfortunately he didn't see Wang Qi on this trip, and all he saw was a handful of loess.
In the end, Zhao Liang looked at Zhou Huzi, when he first formed a small group, this person's iron fists blocked a lot of trouble for Zhao Liang, and it can be said that he can take the first step in the sect, it all depends on this person.
But as he develops, the role of this person becomes smaller and smaller. This person is keen on fighting, and always shows a troublesome appearance when dealing with other things, and his status is slowly surpassed by Zheng Qian.
"Come, come, I'll toast you again. Zhou Huzi stood up and raised his glass to toast everyone.
"Everyone is a brother, and there is no need to say some polite words. But today I can't help but say thank you, boss, and all the brothers for helping me in the past few years. After speaking, Zhou Huzi drank it all.
"Huzi, what's wrong with you today, is there something wrong?" Zhou Huzi's behavior today was a little abnormal, especially what he said just now, a fool could also hear that something was wrong, Zhao Liang couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that everyone at the dinner table looked at him, Zhou Huzi groaned for a while, did not speak, but filled himself with a glass of wine first.
"I want to join the 'Dark Hall' after being promoted to the seventh level of qi refining, so that I can exchange the supernatural power exercises from the sect. So I can't work with everyone in the future. ”
After Zhou Huzi finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and everyone fell into silence.
It's not that there are no supernatural exercises in the sect, it's just that everyone can use their energy to improve talismans, magic weapons, and pills, and not teach them to ordinary disciples.
If you want to learn this magic technique, you must join the "Dark Hall", but the disciples of the Dark Hall perform some tasks related to killing, which is the most dangerous place in the entire sect.
There are two ways to join the Dark Hall, one is to apply when you have just entered the seventh layer of Qi Refining, these people will go through a series of selections, and the selected ones will join the Dark Hall.
The other is the ninth-level Qi Refining Cultivators, these cultivators do not need to be selected, they can join directly.
Either way, as long as you become a member of the "Dark Hall", you will "disappear" from the sect. Only after leaving the dark hall will he reappear in front of everyone.
When these people first join the Dark Hall, they will be taught some ordinary supernatural powers, and after each mission in the future, they can obtain another contribution value, and when this contribution value accumulates to a certain value, they can be exchanged for advanced supernatural powers.
And these monks who reappear in front of everyone will be planted with all kinds of prohibitions to prevent them from revealing supernatural exercises and mission content.
"Why do you want to join the Dark Hall, is it related to the fight a few days ago?" After a moment of silence, Zheng Qian asked.
Although the magic skills are tempting, all the tasks of the dark hall are related to killing, and if you miss it, you may lose your life.
"This incident is just an inducement that makes me understand that talisman making, refining, and alchemy are not my preferences, and what I pursue in my bones is fighting. Zhou Huzi shook his head.
Zhao Liang looked at Zheng Qian and Zhou Huzi suspiciously: "What was the fight a few days ago?"
Zhao Liang has now firmly controlled some of the tasks of the outer disciples, and no one should jump out to make trouble at this time.
"That's the case......" Zheng Qian told the whole story of the fight with Xiao An a few days ago, but skipped the information related to Lingyue.
Seeing the doubts that still existed in Zhao Liang's eyes, Zheng Qian naturally knew the information that Zhao Liang wanted to know.
Zhou Huzi is usually unruly, even if Zhao Liang asks him to do something, he may not do it immediately, Zheng Qian can actually pull him to fight, no matter how you look at it, it looks like there is an insider.
"Because Zhou Huzi owes me a favor. Zheng Qian had no choice but to tell the matter.
Five years ago, not long after Zhao Liang and others became outer disciples, Zheng Qian took over the task of "assisting in guarding the treasury".
One day, Zhao Liang called Zheng Qian away, and Zheng Qian asked Zhou Huzi to temporarily replace him.
Who knew that the sect sent people to this warehouse to receive a batch of spiritual silk that day, and at that time, the head of the warehouse was no longer there, so Zhou Huzi had to prepare it alone.
When someone came to inspect the spirit silk, they found that the length of the "spirit silk of the second soul silkworm" was still three feet long, so Zhou Huzi went back to the warehouse and cut three feet from a strand of spirit silk.
Who knew that this cut made a mistake, it turned out that when the spirit silk was out of the warehouse, it was according to the whole strand, each strand was three zhang long. After Zhou Huzi cut the spirit silk, it directly caused this spirit silk to be unusable.
And this strand of spirit silk is worth more than a hundred spirit stones, if this matter is reported to the Zongmen Law Enforcement Hall, one of Zheng Qian and Zhou Huzi will definitely be severely punished.
After Zheng Qian, who rushed back, saw this, he hurriedly asked Zhao Liang to discuss remedies, but Zheng Qian only said that he had made a mistake and did not mention Zhou Huzi.
In the end, it was Zhao Liang who looked for the "Huang Kutou" at that time, and said good things for a long time before calming down the matter.
It is said that later, Huang Kutou took the spiritual silk less than a zhang long to find the monk who received the spiritual silk, and asked the other party to record it according to a whole wisp, which was regarded as leveling the accounts of the treasury and eliminating a disaster, but there was an extra ball of spiritual silk only three feet long in the library.
