Chapter 29: The Stone Chamber
Shen Shi was the first young man to step forward to pay the spirit crystals, and Su He sat down at the table at this time, took a pen and paper and wrote down the words "Shen Shi, two spirit crystals" on the paper, looked at him and smiled: "You can rest assured, the spirit crystals collected now are only temporarily kept for you, and once you cultivate to the Ning Yuan Realm or five years later, you will naturally return today's things to you." ”
Shen Shi naturally didn't have anything to worry about, after putting the two spirit crystals on the table, he was about to retreat, but the crystal swallowing toad in the cage on the table suddenly "croaked" twice, Su He frowned slightly, and said: "This junior brother, the crystal swallowing toad seems to think that you still have spirit crystals on you, why don't you look for it carefully?"
Shen Shi was stunned, but this time it was really unexpected, after thinking about it carefully, there were indeed no other spirit crystals on his body, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, just looking at the crystal swallowing toad, although he was lying on his stomach and not moving, his eyes were blazing, but he was clearly staring at himself.
For a while, everyone's eyes in the room fell on Shen Shi, each of which had a complicated meaning, Shen Shi didn't want to be regarded as a person who deceived his senior brother and violated the rules of the sect just after entering the sect, this time he was really a little anxious, and hurriedly took something out of his arms, and said at the same time: "Senior Brother Su, I really don't have a spirit crystal on my body, I don't believe you take a look." ”
As he took them out one by one, there were actually not much, nothing more than some small personal things, including the small hourglass that his father gave him at the beginning, until finally, he stretched out his hand in his arms and suddenly paused, because the last thing was the Yin Yang Mantra fragment scroll of the seven-leaf golden sunflower herald.
"Oops......" This was the first thought that crossed Shen Shi's mind, could it be that there was something strange about this thing that had something to do with the demon clan, so that this crystal swallowing toad sensed it, but this was clearly just a scroll, where was there any similarity with the spirit crystal?
If this is taken out, wouldn't it be revealed on the spot in front of everyone's eyes, if it is spread out that he is holding the secret method of the demon clan, will this Lingxiao Sect still tolerate him...... You must know that the enmity between the two clans is as deep as the sea, and Gan Jingcheng, the founding patriarch of the Lingxiao Sect, was one of the six saints of the human race, and there are countless people with the ability of the demon clan who have been killed by himself.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi felt a burst of regret in his heart, but how could he escape from the situation, and was taking the black scroll out of his head, and when he took out half of it, he suddenly heard Su He, who was sitting at the table, "Huh", and said, "What is this?"
Shen Shi's heart sank, thinking that this senior brother had really discovered his secret with a keen eye, and when he was crying and wanting to explain and plead, he suddenly saw that Su He did not look at him who was taking out the Yin Yang Mantra scroll, but his eyes fell on the table, and he picked up something from those few small things, which was the small jade hourglass that his father gave to Shen Shi.
The delicate sand slid silently in the hourglass, Su He looked at the hourglass twice, turned his hand and put it next to the cage, the crystal swallowing toad immediately "quacked" and called twice, Su He nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is this hourglass, although it doesn't look like a spirit crystal, but maybe the jade is mixed with some spiritual energy or impurities similar to spirit crystals, and the crystal swallowing toad is the most sensitive to spirit crystals, so it reacts." After a pause, he looked at Shen Shi with a little apology, and said, "So I misunderstood my junior brother." ”
Shen Shi breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart at this moment, where would there be any complaints, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Su He smiled slightly, and gently put down the hourglass, but other than that, the Crystal Swallowing Toad did not react to other things, which also made Shen Shi completely relieved, and stepped forward to take the things on the table back into his arms. When his fingers touched the small jade hourglass, a faint trace of warmth came from his fingertips, and he inexplicably remembered his father again, and his heart warmed up.
Then the rest of the young people also came over in turn to endure the inspection of the crystal swallowing toad, and soon found out that the other two people were carrying some spirit crystals, among which it was a little surprising that He Xiaomei took the initiative to hand over a bag, which actually contained a full fifty spirit crystals, which made Su He also staggered, and couldn't help but look at He Xiaomei a few more times, shook his head and smiled: "Senior sister, your family must be a rich man." ”
He Xiaomei's cheeks were slightly red, looking like beautiful flowers, and she smiled: "How can there be." ”
In addition to her, another young man handed over five spirit crystals, which was nothing, but to Shen Shi's surprise, Sun You and the Zhong family sisters, who were born in a vassal family of the Lingxiao Sect, did not have a single spirit crystal on their bodies. With their family background, this spirit crystal should have been much more than He Xiaomei.
However, after a while, Shen Shi thought that these families closely relied on the Ling Xiao Sect, and now the rule that this rookie disciple is forbidden to bring spirit crystals into the island has obviously been known for a long time, so no one brings spirit crystals, so it looks like he is a bit of a countryman.
After such a toss, after finally doing everything, Su He stretched his waist, seemed to be relieved, stood up, and said: "Okay, the basic rules and all kinds of matters, I have already told you, if there is still something you don't understand, go back and remember to carefully read the Lingxiao brief in the iron box, and some important and basic matters are written on it." If you need to find me for something, you can go to the 'B17' Cave Mansion in Asuka Bay to find me, or if it is a big matter, you can go directly to the 'Xuan Ri Hall' in the center of the island to ask for Senior Brother Wang Gan. ”
After saying that, he was about to walk out, but when he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something again, hesitated for a moment, still looked back at the ten teenagers, and said with a smile: "It is also a chance for us people to meet here, so I will tell you more." If I were you, I would have to start thinking about it now, how to earn more spirit crystals on these six islands of herringfish, after all, you can only cultivate with spirit crystals. ”
With that, he waved his hand, said no more, and left the place.
The rest of the teenagers looked at each other, and they didn't understand Su He's words when he left, of course, spirit crystals are the most important items in cultivation, everyone understands this, but if you want to think about how to earn more spirit crystals, is there any extra meaning in these words?
Sounds like a bad feeling!
After a while, after many teenagers came back to their senses, they all came out of this cave one by one, after all, now this place has the surname Sun, and it is Sun You's exclusive cultivation cave mansion, and everyone is full of expectations to see what their residence looks like, and they soon dispersed in a hurry.
Shen Shi also planned to find a cave house of his own to occupy it, but at the instigation of Sun You, he finally opened the gossip lock with his own cloud talisman in the next door, that is, the "Jia Forty-one" cave mansion, as for the others, perhaps because they hated Sun You, Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu left them far away, and ran to the end to take "A Forty-Eight, A Forty-Nine" There are two caves, He Xiaomei doesn't seem to want to be a girl herself, but her residence is in the middle of a circle of boys' caves, so she is also close to Zhong Qinglu, accounting for the "first forty-seven", and the rest of the caves are divided by other teenagers.
※※※
When he walked into his cave for the first time, Shen Shi was still a little excited in his heart, when the heavy stone door rumbled and closed behind him, the original hustle and bustle seemed to be suddenly isolated from the door, and there was silence in the stone room, his mood gradually calmed down.
The furnishings in the stone room, as Su He said, were basically the same as what he had seen in Sun You's cave just now, and similarly, there was also an iron box on the table.
He looked here and there, sometimes walked to the bedside and pressed the bedding, sometimes stroked the stone wall a few times, walked to the empty three-story stone frame to observe for a while, and looked up at the airy skylight.
Is this the starting point where you are about to start cultivating and embarking on the path of cultivating immortals?
He stood in the middle of the stone chamber and took a deep breath, when there was no one else but himself, his face finally showed a look of intoxication and joy, and he slowly opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace something.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
Suddenly, a sound like a drum came from the door, but it startled Shen Shi, who was a little intoxicated, and after standing for a while, he hurriedly walked over and opened the stone door with a cloud talisman, only to see Sun You standing at the door with a smile, and said with a smile: "Shen Shi, it's boring to be bored in the house, let's go out to the island for a walk." ”
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, Na Suhe didn't have a special explanation in this regard, obviously Ling Xiao Sect didn't mean to restrict the whereabouts of the newcomer disciples' daily lives. However, on the first day of his arrival, Shen Shi pondered for a moment, and still said: "Sun You, I still think it's better to read that Lingxiao sketch first, I want to finish reading it before going out, or tomorrow, we are going to go to the Morning Star Hall to listen to Senior Brother Wang Gen teach the Xingluo Gong method, and then take a good look at the customs of this island, okay?"
Sun You sighed, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, then you can rest, and I will also go back to see the Lingxiao briefing." As he spoke, he turned around and walked two steps, suddenly turned around, and said with a smile, "Shen Shi, in the future, we will all start cultivating together, and it will be faster than seeing which of us cultivates!"
Shen Shi laughed and nodded silently.
After Sun You left, Shen Shi closed the stone door again, and the cave was quiet again, and after looking at the stone room again, Shen Shi sat down at the table, and then opened the iron box.
Two sets of clothes, a spirit crystal, a piece of paper recipe, and a brief note, his eyes swept over these simple things, Shen Shi first picked up the Xingluo Gong mantra, read it from beginning to end, pondered for a moment, and then took Ling Xiao briefly in his hand and flipped through it at will.
The beginning of this brief book is all about some of the rules of the Lingxiao Sect, but there is nothing special about it, such as not disobeying the master and so on, followed by some brief introductions to the current situation of the Lingxiao Sect, which is also to let the new disciples have a basic understanding of the sect. Those children of the family like Sun You may have known a lot, but for Shen Shi, it is a precious source, seeing that his eyes gradually brightened, he was amazed, and it was the first time that he really understood from one side what the so-called "Four Positives" in the world, known as the top famous family in the Hongmeng cultivation world, was a concept.
"Under the Zhenren of Cen Huaiyuan, there are also the four elders of Jin, Sun, Yun, and Mu, and the five of them form the 'Senate Council' of the sect, which is the highest deliberative body of the Lingxiao Sect. ”
"Only disciples of this sect who have cultivated to the Ning Yuan Realm can be accepted as personal disciples to enter Jinhong Immortal Mountain, and if the elder disciples are not appointed by the sect, they are not allowed to interfere in the cultivation of newcomers on Qingyu Island......"
"Oh my God...... There are twenty-two great people in the Guangyuan Dan Realm in the Lingxiao Sect!" Seeing this, Shen Shi's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his brain almost couldn't turn for a while, when he was in Xilu City in Yinzhou, he always felt that the Xuanyin Sect was already a powerful cultivation sect, but only Li Laowei was the only Yuandan Realm monk in that sect, and compared with the current Lingxiao Sect, it was really too much different.
"Moreover, among the twenty-two Yuan Dan Realm Great True Persons, the five elders of the Yuan Dan Realm have all cultivated to the peak realm of the Yuan Dan Realm, and they are only one step away from breaking through the legendary Yuan Dan Realm Great Death Pass and spying on the Tiangang Realm, which is only one step away from the True Immortals. ”
"Awesome, ......" As the pages of the book turned, exclamations kept sounding in the stone room, and the young man's heart was already completely immersed in the admiration for this brilliant and powerful sect.
The sky was getting dark, and the first day on this island, I saw that it was going to pass quietly like this.
