Chapter 6 Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat
Qi Bing saw that the face of the real person in the fog kept changing in a few breaths, from shock to embarrassment, and then from annoyance to helplessness, his mouth opened, as if he was about to say something, and closed it again.
Finally, in the shocked eyes of the group of disciples who were about to be tested, they "reprimanded" with a slight sorrow.
"Nonsense!"
"Oh, I'm sorry~" apologized, but his demeanor and tone were not apologetic at all, and he was about to sit down next to him with his dirty robe.
"Stop!" Fog Void grabbed Yarrow by the collar and cast a spell with anger to clean up the layer of soot, lest he take a step and shake off the lump.
"Hehe, it's better to be a senior brother!" Yarrow sat down with a grin, grabbed the pastry on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, the dignified Kunlun sect elder was as if he had never eaten enough.
"Yarrow, what's going on?" the Great Elder asked with a sigh.
"Isn't this alchemy refining so much that I forgot to preside over the level today, I haven't slept for several days, and as soon as I was distracted by flying, I fell off" Artemisia licked the cake residue on the side of her mouth with her tongue, "But fortunately, it fell on Dengxiantai, just in time!"
The elders are used to his failure to grasp the key points, but they still want to complain about the many slots in this paragraph.
Qi Bing finally saw the face of this real person of Artemisia, and what surprised her a little was that she thought that the title of Artemisia was taken by an old man, but it turned out to be a young man.
Moreover, the appearance of this young man is first-class and good, his eyebrows and eyes are full of cynicism, and he is born with an amorous appearance, but his lips are very thin, and he is the face of a person who is unkind. If it was in her county, such a man would definitely be a beautiful man admired by many girls.
It can be seen that the madness of this beautiful man, the curiosity of Qi Bingyuan has all turned into questions.
Is she really going to be tested by such a person? It was so terrible that she couldn't even think about it.
Yarrow filled her stomach with pastries, ate five minutes full, and finally remembered to get down to business, nibbling on apples after the meal and walking towards the group of disciples.
But this eccentric elder's series of behaviors just now left an indelible impression on everyone, so in their eyes, Yarrow was like a big bad wolf walking towards the sheep.
The big bad wolf took a few steps forward, and the sheep quietly took a few steps back, forming a strange situation where you advance and I retreat, hiding and hiding.
"Why are you guys? Hurry up and accept the trial, can I still eat you?" The yarrow wolf who couldn't catch a sheep was very depressed, did these people really want to join the Kunlun faction? Why couldn't he feel a little sincerity.
"Click" took a bite of the apple, and saw Yang Bing and Xia Zhiqiu standing still, and Yarrow's eyes lit up.
"Ouch, it's still a child who is obedient" threw the apple core casually, and Artemisia pressed Xia Zhiqiu's shoulder, and before anyone could react, it flicked at the center of Xia Zhiqiu's eyebrows.
Before Xia Zhiqiu could say "What are you doing?" before he could say it, his pupils lost focus, his body softened, and he fell down while rubbing his arms.
"You come too!" Qi Bing still wanted to struggle, but the speed of Artemisia was too fast, and he only felt a pain in his eyebrows, and the heaven and earth spun a few times, and he completely fainted.
"Come and play my brains, little bunnies!, or don't blame me for not knowing how to do it!" Artemisia sat down cross-legged and smugly flicked it in the air.
The elders on the seats all looked at their noses and noses, as if they had not seen the appearance of yarrow.
Damn, it's a shame.
......
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the floor of a kitchen, and the firewood in the stove was crackling, making his face red.
Lu Bing got up and pushed the door first, but found that it was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened. Some brought a small stool, climbed onto the stove, and stood on tiptoe to look out of the small window on the stove.
Outside the house was a forest, and you could hear birds chirping, water dripping down the eaves, and the smell of dampness in the air, apparently having only rained.
Could it be a house in the forest somewhere in the Kunlun Sect?
It's a pity that the window hole is too small, and if she drills hard, her head may not be able to pull out, otherwise she can try to climb the wall to get out.
After jumping off the stove and searching the house for a long time, Yang Bing could be sure that the real person of Artemisia did not leave any obvious clues for her.
The contents of the pot seemed to be cooked, and the fragrance slowly wafted out from the cracks in the wooden lid, and then Bing Bing remembered that the only thing in the room that was somewhat useful was probably the thing that was burning in the pot.
Standing on the small stool, he lifted the wooden lid, waited for the smoke to dissipate, and saw what was cooking in the pot.
This is...... Preserved egg and lean porridge?
And it's a whole big pot.
Zhu Bing took a wooden spoon and stirred it in the porridge a few times, but he didn't find any such thing as a key, a hint, this is indeed just an ordinary pot of porridge, and he successfully starved Bing Xiang.
I can't get out anyway, so drink a bowl of porridge to calm down.
Scooping a small bowl, the ice blew gently for a while, and took a big sip.
Then he spit it all back into the bowl with a bang.
"Phew!Bah!" Did the porridge maker kill the salt seller? Why is it so salty?!
Yang Bing was so sore from the salt that he knelt on a small bucket by the stove to help him rinse his mouth and coughed for a while.
Then she poured almost half a bucket of water into the pot in a rage, and was inexplicably locked up in such a place, she didn't believe that she couldn't even drink porridge!
After mixing it with a wooden spoon for a while, the ice carefully tasted it again, well, this time the taste was light.
Bing Bing was not annoyed, picked up the bottles and cans, opened the small lid to find salt, and put a small spoonful in it.
Well, it's okay now, Yu Bing was satisfied with scooping a bowl of porridge for himself, holding it and drinking it, and before he could finish swallowing, he heard the sound of unlocking outside the wooden door.
Could it be that dealing with this pot of dark cuisine is the key? What does this Yarrow real person think? It's too simple and naΓ―ve, right?
Yang Bing was not in a hurry to go out, and after drinking a bowl, he still couldn't finish scooping another bowl of porridge to drink, after all, it was also made with great effort, how could he do it if he didn't drink it.
After wiping his mouth, he pushed the door and went out, it had only rained outside, and the damp mud had buried the road around the house, and he couldn't see which direction to go out of the forest.
Walking slowly around the house, the trees around her were so tall that she couldn't see the world outside, but she could make out that there were four different trees planted on all sides of the house.
The east side is the oak tree, the west side is the white wax, the south side is the persimmon tree, and the north side is the coggy.
But other than that, she didn't know anything, could it be that she was asked to look at feng shui and see which side of the tree was wrong?
Avoiding the particularly clayey soil, she stepped on the leaves, and dug up all the places she could touch, trying to find out if there were any tree holes or something that could give her some hints.
When she touched the cocoon, she was stunned for a moment, this smell and feel are a little familiar......
Qi Bing ran back to the house and picked up a piece of firewood from the pyre next to the stove, yes, this is Huang Qi, she added firewood when she cooked porridge just now, so she remembered.
Anyway, this was the only clue that Bing could find, so she didn't hesitate to walk towards the grove to the north.
After breaking the branch as a crutch, Lu Bing was ready to go around in the forest for a long time, but after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, she left the forest, and she was also familiar with the place, wasn't it the willow forest where she waited for the foggy real person yesterday? These two brothers really have a tacit understanding, and the places must be chosen together.
Qi Bing followed her memory and walked towards Dengxiantai, where the ten elders were still there, and Yarrow beckoned to her.
"Here, little man!" Qi Bing suddenly didn't want to go over, but in order to pass the level, she endured!
"I didn't expect you to be the first to come! I'm very pleased! How do you say that? Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, the back waves of the Yangtze River have pushed the front waves, and countless young eagles have lined up ......the clouds."
Could it be that listening to the nonsense of the test subjects is also a part of honing her mind? But she really wanted to punch her fist in the face that although she was very beautiful, she didn't want to see it again!
"Congratulations on passing this hurdle!Officially becoming a disciple of the Kunlun Sect!" Yarrow applauded to herself.
This...... Just passed? Yue Bing felt that he had not done anything.
"After every disciple enters the sect, he must choose a mental method to cultivate, and you can choose one too" Yarrow took out two books from behind him.
"The first mental method can ensure that your cultivation before the Mahayana period is smooth sailing and reduce the impact of bottlenecks on you, but after the Mahayana period, it will be difficult to take a step forward in cultivation. β
"And the second method of the mind is to fight steadily and steadily, but you will be like all ordinary monks, there are bottlenecks that cannot be overcome, there are demons that are difficult to eliminate, it cannot help you succeed, it can only assist you in a decent way. β
"So, which one are you going to choose?"
Qi Bing lowered his head and thought, the temptation of the first book is the same for all monks, the Mahayana period is a hurdle that countless monks can't pass, not only to deal with the demons that will appear in the Yuan Infant Period first, but also to have the support of a strong sect.
As far as she knew, these ten elder monks of the Kunlun Sect were Mahayana stage monks, and the master of the sect was a god transformation stage power, and he was only one step away from being able to ascend in place.
However, I heard from the real people of the Fog Void that no one in the cultivation realm had successfully ascended for more than a thousand years, and the Kunlun Sect Master had been trapped in the Transformation Period for a full two hundred years.
She also wanted to soar, but she felt that such a good thing was unlikely to fall on her, and she hadn't even started her cultivation yet, so she shouldn't expect this kind of thing that was too far away for her.
"Don't be pressured, we won't interfere with your decisions. Artemisia put the two books on the ground and took out an apple to eat.
Qi Bing looked at the real person of the fog, but he didn't look at this side, he was busy with other things, so he had to turn back stupidly.
Tilting her head and thinking solemnly for a while, after all, this is related to her future cultivation, so she can't be sloppy.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up one of them from the ground.
"That's it!" said to Ying Bing, holding the book in his arms, and raising his head to Artemisia Zhenren.
Yarrow raised her eyebrows, seemingly interested in this choice, and asked in a playful tone, "Can you tell me why?"
Holding the second heart method, with a child's voice, he told Yarrow seriously.
"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. β
Qi Bing felt that she answered very solemnly, but she didn't know which sentence hit the laughter of Artemisia Zhenren, as for rolling on the ground with laughter?
"Hahahahaha! Mom, you're only five years old, aren't you?
Artemisia finally stopped rolling, laughing, hiccuping, and snapping her fingers.
Qi Bing suddenly opened his eyes and saw the sky on Kunlun Mountain, and the touch behind it was the cold feeling unique to the stones of Dengxiantai, and his whole body was so weak that he couldn't support his body.
Only then did Yang Bing know that she was really awake now, and those things just now were all illusions.
She slowly got up and found that the bodies of a group of them were actually put into a "mountain" character with a wicked taste, and she knew whose handwriting it was at a glance.
Qi Bing looked at the real person who leaned down in front of her expressionlessly, wanting to give this bear a big mouth.
"Don't be afraid, I'm really awake this time. Artemisia threw her a plum, "But you're really funny, who taught you that?"
"Once upon a time, Master, and isn't that the right answer?"
"You chose the right one, but my reason is not this at all" Yarrow shrugged, "The first heart method is too, how can there be such a good thing in the world, if there is, I want it too!"
"If you can't even tell the truth from such a clumsy nonsense, we don't want this kind of fool Kunlun. β
As it turned out, there were still a lot of fools, and when he saw that almost half of the people woke up, they looked exhausted, and they didn't know what Yarrow had done to them in the illusion.
She also saw Xia Zhiqiu get up, although she didn't have the frustration of others, she should have passed the trial, but she also looked like she was going to bite the yarrow to death with her sharp tiger teeth.
Seeing that he was not alone in having an opinion on Artemisia, Qi Bing was relieved, and patted Xia Zhiqiu's arm, brother, it's not you who wants to beat him.
Before she could talk to Xia Zhiqiu, Yarrow pulled her throat and asked those who passed to gather, and those who didn't pass could only watch them leave in despair.
Kunlun, my heart is too dirty.
