Chapter 8 A Few Bamboo Slips
The sky was bright, the morning sun shone through the windows, adding a little warmth to the room. Dugu Hexuan scanned the room silently, and in the slight breathing sound, there seemed to be a breath that called the sun and the moon, and all the spirits of heaven and earth breathed with their breathing.
At this moment, a mysterious force gradually broke away from the shackles of that root, wandered towards the spiritual sea consciousness, and slowly adapted to the new place. Dugu Hexuan was a little hazy and dazed, some didn't know why, and some didn't know what to do. It's as if this body with great power does not belong to itself, and it needs to adapt and grope to master the balance.
He waited quietly, passively waiting for the mysterious power to fully merge with him, waiting for the root to calm down.
About three hours later, Dugu Hexuan felt that he was actually "reborn". The strength of the physical body has become beyond one's own knowledge and imagination. The essence of spiritual power that fills the whole body is abundant. The spiritual sea is clear, the wisdom is thick, and the wisdom is long.
Dugu Hexuan was born smart and never forgetful. And now, his wisdom has increased again, and there is a feeling that his body cannot bear the weight. Some of the mysterious spells that were once obscure and difficult to understand are now self-evident and clear to themselves. The once cumbersome and complicated rune diagram has been simplified and comprehended.
In less than half an hour, the three yin mantras of the "Cihang Pudu Mantra" have been thoroughly understood by Dugu Hexuan. Subsequently, the comprehension of the nine styles of Cihang also entered a mysterious artistic conception.
Everything has entered a whole new realm!
"Anything else?"
Dugu Hexuan clearly felt that another mysterious force from his body was restricting him, allowing him to enter a new bottleneck and obstacle. However, there is no answer to where this power comes from, and there is no trace.
After a hellish grind, many earth-shaking changes have taken place, and in the end, the only thing left is the mysterious root. After calming down, the roots have completely become a part of Dugu Hexuan's body.
The air in the house was a little dull, Dugu Hexuan gathered his mind, moved his muscles and bones, and went out to breathe. When he walked out of the gate of the Yellow Courtyard, he saw six teenagers standing cautiously outside, hesitating.
Then he asked, "Who are you?"
An ordinary-looking young man said, "We are newly recruited disciples of the sect, and the elders have assigned us to the Yellow Courtyard. He also said that the Yellow Courtyard was headed by Senior Brother Dugu Hexuan, so let us come by ourselves, and Senior Brother would definitely settle us properly. ”
"Oh!" Dugu Hexuan smiled faintly and said, "Let you junior disciples wait for a long time!
"We have nothing to do, no one to take care of, no way to vote. When you come here, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and the rest will be at ease with what happens. Dugu Hexuan walked ahead and said, "How did the elders arrange your cultivation methods, cultivation spiritual materials, food, etc.?"
"Except for the formula, a booklet has been distributed, and everything else is decided by Senior Brother!"
Dugu Hexuan asked for a booklet and flipped through it, shook his head incessantly, and said, "Why do you have to come to this ghost place? The booklet that people gave you is just an ordinary method used to guide spiritual cultivation, and it has great restrictions on cultivating Dao and Fa supernatural powers. If it's just this kind of method, the larger chambers of commerce have it. Okay, without further ado, you clean up, clean up. I'm going to get some food and drinks, and I'll pick you up and wash the dust. ”
Dugu Hexuan saw the six people enter his room, so he turned around and walked out of the courtyard, letting the mountain breeze blow, full of coolness. When his eyes looked at the Yellow Courtyard, a sense of coldness gradually appeared. muttered, and walked quickly towards the Yuanming Immortal Road.
In the Yellow Courtyard, long tables and wooden chairs are arranged, and wine and food are prepared.
Dugu Hexuan sat in the right seat, and the other six people stood for the time being. After the six of them reported their ages in turn, they sat down according to their ages. These six people are all twelve years old, one year older than Dugu Hexuan.
Under the auspices of Dugu Hexuan, he called himself the senior brother, and the others were in the back row in turn. The second junior brother, Qiu Xu, has a strange appearance, a prominent forehead and jaw, and a hunched back. The third junior brother Yin Si has a square face and a big mouth, a pair of attractive ears hanging down his shoulders, his arms are above his knees, and his figure is empty. The fourth junior brother, Min Si, has a delicate face and is weak and thin. The fifth junior brother Tang Si, with yellow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and an eagle-nosed monkey beak. The sixth junior brother Pang Si, with a fat head and a fat brain, has a circle of fat around his neck, and two sarcomas fall symmetrically at both ends of his chin, making a rhythmic sound. The seventh junior brother Diao Si, with three handfuls of yellow beards and five short figures, at first glance, I only felt that I would be blown away by the wind.
The Yuan Shi Jian Sect has always paid great attention to the appearance of its disciples, and the Yuan Shi Jian Sect is known for its beautiful men. When these six people appeared in the Yellow Courtyard, Dugu Hexuan felt that someone was deliberately insulting him. However, after thinking about it, these people and themselves are all people in distress, so why bother with each other.
"As a senior brother, I would like to respect the six junior brothers first, and welcome you to become a member of the Yellow Academy. Speaking of which, the elder brother's alcohol consumption is average. Dugu Hexuan squeaked and drank the wine in the cup, and the six of them also drank it, and said: "Since everyone is here, I will simply assign the work first." Seventh, you are responsible for reprimanding the news. Sixth, you are in charge of cooking. Old Five, you are responsible for cleaning the yard. Fourth, you are responsible for purchasing wine, meat, spiritual materials, etc. The third and second children, the two of you are responsible for patrolling the hills around the Yellow Courtyard. If you have any comments or questions, you can ask. ”
Diao Si asked, "Senior brother, what's the news?"
"First, the big and small things that happened in the other three hospitals. Second, there is a Yuanming list on the Yuanming Immortal Road, and you go to see it every day to see if there are any major rewards. ”
Pang Si said: "Senior brother, how can you cook without a stove or something?"
"Build, build!"
The six of them were puzzled for a while, and they all looked at the spacious compound.
"It's getting late today, and when you've had enough to eat and drink, go back to your room and rest. If you have extra energy, take a good look at the Dharma and start practicing as early as possible. Cultivating the true Dao and pursuing immortality, no matter how much chance there is, you still have to rely on yourself in the end. So, don't fantasize about all kinds of luck, just practice in a down-to-earth manner. When Dugu Hexuan lectured, he inadvertently repeated the words of others to lecture himself.
Min Si said: "Senior brother, the first problem we have to solve is how to earn spirit stones. ”
"Uh! you don't have any on you?" Dugu Hexuan realized this, wasn't he penniless at the time.
The six shook their heads in unison.
"It's easy to talk about this! I'll borrow ten of each of you first!" Dugu Hexuan took a sip of wine, secretly observed the six people, and suddenly changed his words and said, "However, you will pay me back in the future." ”
The six of them were secretly overjoyed, and said again and again: "That's, that's!"
"Old Seven, what do you think should be the way to return it?" Dugu Hexuan continued, "Do you have the confidence to pay me back a hundred in a month?"
Diao Si was stunned, and stopped talking. The others frowned and looked at each other.
Dugu Hexuan shook his head and said, "In terms of cultivation qualifications, the six of you are better than me. However, your Dao heart is too bad. Let me ask, if you don't have the heart to be the first in the world, how can you follow the waves? At most, you can just go with the flow. ”
The six of them said in unison: "Thank you for your teachings!"
Dugu Hexuan smiled with satisfaction. Later, they gave each person a hundred spirit stones, as well as three spirit pills that he had refined. On the same day, Dugu Hexuan was unwell and rested early. The six newcomers have enough spirit stones, so they have no worries for the time being, and they also rest early.
Since the six people came, Dugu Hexuan has lived in a simple place, concentrating on cultivation and alchemy. If the six of them have any questions about their cultivation, they can also get satisfactory answers. In comparison, the sperm of the six people is very fast.
The days of the Yellow Courtyard were very peaceful, and day after day passed.
Time flies. When the morning sun burst out on this day, it was the last morning of the year. Dugu Hexuan got up early in the morning, finished his schoolwork, and was about to prepare a furnace of Dan liquid when a hurried knock sounded on the door.
Diao Si shouted, "Senior brother, something is wrong!"
"Old Seven, why are you flustered when you have something to say?" Dugu Hexuan opened the door and poured him a cup of tea.
Diao Si drank it all and said busily: "Senior brother has been poisoned!"
Dugu Hexuan was stunned, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
"I don't know!" Diao Si thought for a while and said, "I heard a senior brother say, 'Those three people are really strange, they were poisoned last time, how did they get poisoned again this time, could it be another thief's masterpiece!'"
"This has nothing to do with us!" Dugu Hexuan's face was calm, a hint of chill swept through his eyes, looked at the six people standing in his room, and ordered: "At the end of the year, the cow ghost snake god also came out to join in the fun. Be careful. In my opinion, before this matter is in the limelight, everyone should try not to stay away from the Yellow Courtyard, so as not to cause more trouble. ”
Dugu Hexuan sent out six people, slowly closed the door, his face changed slightly, and said softly: "It's finally coming?"
Until noon, no elders came to interrogate. Dugu Hexuan had no choice but to let Diao Si go over and take a look. Unexpectedly, in less than a moment, Diao Si ran back in a panic, and he was speechless for a while.
After a long time, he said nervously: "A disciple of the underground courtyard has been killed! At this time, the elders of the various veins came one after another!"
Dugu Hexuan was silent for a moment and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to panic." Go back to your house and stay in peace. ”
Qiu Yu said: "Senior brother, we have neither an elder nor a senior brother with advanced Taoism here. In the event of an incident, there is no chance of survival. ”
Min Siyi said: "Senior brother, it is urgent to seek refuge. You see?"
Dugu Hexuan glanced at the six of them and said in a deep voice: "There is no point in killing us. If you listen to me, you can either stay in your own house or go to the Yuanming Immortal Road to hang around, and you can be kept safe. ”
Pang Si muttered, "Senior brother, what about you?"
"I, hehe, I'm the first person to live in the Yellow Courtyard!" Dugu Hexuan no longer paid attention to the six people and continued to study the "Green Capsule Sutra". The six people had no intention of leaving, so they simply gathered around to look at the bamboo slips.
In fact, the Yellow Courtyard is indeed peaceful. In the evening, a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was placed in Dugu Hexuan's room. Seven people ate and did not drink heavily. Only Dugu Hexuan, who had the worst amount of alcohol, drank a few glasses. After the dinner, Pang Si quickly cleaned up. The six of them stayed in Dugu Hexuan's room very tacitly, and the six uneasy hearts discussed the bamboo slips with great interest.
Night fell, and a strong wind blew in the dark night. The wind lamps swayed, and the doors and windows rattled. Add a bit of horror. Suddenly, a strong wind whistled by, and a black shadow slowly appeared in the quiet courtyard, fluttering lightly in the wind.
