Volume 1, Born Lonely Chapter 20, Where the Master Is
In the Northern Boundary Mountain, in front of the sect of the Lei Immortal Sect, Ma Yujian and Xu Bing fell down.
There were two guards standing in front of the sect, and after seeing Ma Yujian and the three of them, they all bowed with their fists and said in unison, "I've seen Elder Ma."
Ma Yujian waved his hand at the two, didn't pay much attention to it, turned around and beckoned Xu Bing and the two to follow, and walked straight to the sect.
After the three of them left, the two guards whispered, and one of them said with some doubts, "That fat man seems to be a new disciple of Elder Ma last year, and I haven't seen him this year, it seems that he is a mortal body, but I don't know who the other person is."
After finishing speaking, the other person continued, "That fat man looks like a lazy man, and it is not bad for him to reach the mortal realm in a year, and the other is probably Elder Ma's new disciple this year."
While the two were talking, they also frowned and pondered, as if they regarded this as some kind of difficult problem in their cultivation, and seriously answered it.
Xu Bing and Shen Cong naturally didn't know about the conversation between the two, but Ma Yujian heard it clearly. It's just that he didn't pay attention to it, after all, it was just two guards, and he didn't want to embarrass them.
When you enter the gate, you will see a huge platform, and if you look at it from above, you can see that it is a huge stone, as if it had been flattened with a knife. It's just that this platform has a radius of 100 zhang, and I really can't think of anyone who can use such a big knife to flatten this stone.
On the left and right sides of this platform, there are several towering peaks, and there are many caves on the mountainsides of these peaks. Further up, there are some pavilions and buildings covered by clouds and mist, faintly visible, like a fairyland.
Behind this platform, there is a clear stream, and further back, there is a mountain peak. However, this mountain peak is standing here alone, there are no other peaks on the side, and the caves on this peak are much less than the peaks in front, and the buildings on the top of the mountain are much more exquisite than what Xu Bing saw before, but the distance is too far to see the specific appearance.
At this time, the three of them had already stopped, Ma Yujian looked at Xu Bing's somewhat surprised eyes, and said with a smile on his face, "Good boy, this is the mountain gate of our Thunder Immortal Sect." There are a total of five peaks on the left and right, all of which are the cultivation places of the outer disciples, and the house on the top of this mountain is the residence of our elders." As he spoke, he pointed to the left again, and then said, "Na Na Na, that mountain peak is the old man's, haha...... The old man is alone. But now it's also for the two of you." The words in his mouth, the smile on his face, and the incessant nodding of his head showed the smugness in his heart vividly.
Halfway through laughing, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly pulled Xu Bing to take two steps forward, pointed to the separate mountain in front of him and said, "Good boy, have you seen it, that peak, yes, it's that single peak." That's where the inner door is, and I can go in but you can't, remember? If you go, you're going to break your leg, so don't blame the old man for not giving you a bone."
Seeing that Shizun seemed to have finally finished speaking, Xu Bing suddenly became puzzled. What he saw, there were two peaks on the left and right, adding up to four, but listening to the words of the master, in addition to the inner gate peak, there were five peaks next to this platform, but he did not see where the so-called fifth peak was.
When Ma Yujian saw Xu Bing's expression, he also guessed the doubts in his heart, but he didn't care about him, but said to Shen Cong on the side, "Big apprentice, there are some things to go to the inner gate for the teacher, anyway, the teacher also brought you back last year, you will take your junior brother to our mountain peak first, and then I will tell you about this cultivation in detail when the teacher comes back." After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, just walked out and stopped, turned around, reached out and took out something from his waist and handed it to Xu Bing, only then did he explain again, "This is the mantra and introduction of cultivation, good disciple, you can try to practice after you arrive at the cave, but don't let the teacher down." Ma Yujian rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, making sure that there was nothing more to explain, so he left the two of them and walked towards the inner gate peak.
After Ma Yujian left, Shen Cong took Xu Bing to the left front. Along the way, I met a lot of young monks, but most of them were cold and didn't pay the slightest attention to the two of them. However, there are still so many people who greeted Shen Cong after seeing him, obviously he had also seen Shen Cong in the sect before.
Until he was about to walk through the second peak on the left, Shen Cong still had no intention of stopping, Xu Bing was about to ask, but he saw that in front of the second peak, a completely different peak appeared.
How so...... Low! Exceptionally low! Only about half the height of the other peaks. And the mountain was bare, and there was not a single tree, and at the top of the peak there was a building, but not a pavilion like the others, but a ...... Thatched hut ......
Looking at the mountain peak in front of him, Rao Yi was a little incredulous with Xu Bing's temperament, pointed to the peak, looked at Shen Cong, and did not speak. However, Shen Cong completely understood what Xu Bing meant, and simply replied, "Yes, you read that right, this is where our master is."
Xu Bing only knew at this moment that this Shen Cong had worshiped under his master a year ago, but why did he find an excuse to accompany his father for an extra year to go back to Fancheng and continue to stay for another year. However, he was only slightly surprised, Xu Bing didn't have too many requirements for the living conditions, after all, he had been a killer for so many years, and he often stayed awake all night, so this was nothing to him.
Shen Cong saw that Xu Bing had quickly calmed down, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart, so he took him to the mountain.
There is no cave on the mountainside, only a thatched house on the top of the mountain, and on the mountain wall a few feet lower than the thatched house, there is a cave that seems to have been carved out.
Taking Xu Bing to the door of the cave, Shen Cong pointed to the inside and motioned for Xu Bing to go in and have a look. Xu Bing glanced at Shen Cong, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.
In less than five breaths, Xu Bing came out, and the surprise in his eyes resurfaced. What he saw, I don't know if it can be described as a cave, maybe the word "house" should be removed, and only a hole should be left. Because this is indeed a hole, a hole about a foot deep, a man high. The cave is pitch black, the walls next to it are pitted, and even some weeds grow from the top of the head and the walls next to it, making this so-called cave house look extremely natural. If it weren't for the fact that the whole cave looked relatively round, it really looked like a naturally formed cave.
Looking at Shen Cong on the side, Xu Bing once again showed a look of surprise buried in his doubts. Shen Cong still had the same expression that you guessed correctly, and said painlessly, "You read that right, this is my hole...... Prefecture...... You haven't dug it yet."
When he heard Shen Cong's sentence "Yours haven't dug yet", Xu Bing was even more confused, could it be that the caves of this immortal family were dug like this?
However, at this time, it was getting late, the master was not there, and he didn't have any tools at hand, so he gave up the idea of digging a hole first, but sat on the grass in front of Shen Cong's cave mansion, took out the things that the master gave him, and slowly studied it.
