Vertical Sun, "When!"

The sound of the morning bell, low and heavy, echoed between the stone walls, lingering for a long time, drifting into every stone house from the window, which was the signal of the morning and the sound of waking up for this new day.

Yun Ziyuan freshened up and walked out of the stone house, there was no sun here, no breeze, this was not the lonely mountain village he was familiar with, there was nothing he was familiar with.

I took a deep breath, it was also a different breath, there was no vitality in the mountains, only a condensed breath of death, which was suffocating. Yun Ziyuan now knew that this Shura Hall was located in an unknown mountain, located in the hollowed-out belly of the mountain, and it was not seen all day long, and it was not angry.

It's been the third day here, and Yun Ziyuan is still a little unaccustomed to the environment here, and he looks out of place everywhere, and his body and mind are not smooth. However, after this night of meditation and cultivation, Yun Ziyuan suddenly found that the innate true sword qi in his body seemed to be a little more docile than before, and it was only a little.

"Could it be because I fought with Yin Jiu and lost too much sword qi, causing the newborn sword qi to return to control?" Yun Ziyuan thought like this, feeling that if things were really like this, it would be a good thing, as long as he continued to fight, to consume the sword qi in his body, the newborn sword qi would be completely controlled by Yun Ziyuan as before.

"It's just that apart from this, the nascent sword qi doesn't seem to be more refined than the rough sword qi?"

Noticing this question, Yun Ziyuan was instantly disappointed, and felt that it shouldn't be like this.

"It seems that you still have to ask your seniors and ask for powerful guidance!"

......

On the square outside the Shura Palace, a lot of people have gathered densely at this moment, jade armor and gold armor, colorful clothes and streamers, when Yun Ziyuan arrived, the gate was opened, and everyone entered in an orderly manner.

Yun Ziyuan mixed in the flow of people, he changed into a dark shirt, crimson cloud brocade, white gauze lining, black background dark gold flying fish pattern belt, that is the clothes left by his predecessors he found in the stone house, the cut is extremely tight and neat, lining people a hundred times more spirit. What is different is that outside his clothes, Yun Ziyuan is also wrapped in an ink-colored cloud dragon cloak, which is windless and automatic, fluttering, and sprinkled behind him, making him very conspicuous and eye-catching.

"Yun Ziyuan!

On the ground, there was a call behind him, Yun Ziyuan turned his head to look, and saw Qing Jun's extraordinary Leng Gaoyi leading more than a dozen people to walk towards him quickly. Leng Gaoyi showed a bright smile as he walked, and said heartily: "Haha! Little Brother Yun, congratulations." ”

"Where does the joy come from?" Clueless, Yun Ziyuan didn't understand what he wanted to say.

Leng Gaoyi stepped forward, patted Yun Ziyuan's shoulder very familiarly, and said enthusiastically: "Little Brother Yun, you have been here for only two days, and you have already made a great reputation, and now even the gods and generals favor you, so you are naturally very happy." ”

"That was all yesterday, what do you want to say?" Yun Ziyuan was not used to talking so close to people, especially people who were not familiar with him, so he directly retreated half a step back, undisguised.

Leng Gaoyi didn't seem to notice Yun Ziyuan's rejection, he didn't feel embarrassed, he didn't lose his enthusiasm, but he also consciously didn't come forward again.

"Great joy is also great sorrow! I'm here to remind you, you have to be careful in the next few days, I heard that after I went back yesterday, Yin Jiu was furious, and obviously hated you. ”

"So what?" Yun Ziyuan didn't think too much about Yin Jiu, he didn't care very much.

"It's nothing, it's just that although Yin Jiu's treasure armor has been taken back by the god general, the pill is still left for Yin Jiu. I heard that Yin Jiu had already taken one pill, and although he had not broken through the realm on the spot, his strength had still improved. ”

Yun Ziyuan was noncommittal.

Seeing that Yun Ziyuan still didn't care, Leng Gaoyi said again: "Yin Jiu, you don't pay attention to it, the two of them, Qiang Li and Ao Hezheng, you always have to be careful, those are two martial idiots, the most ......"

Repeating the old tune, these words had already been chattered to him, Yun Ziyuan was too lazy to listen, so he turned around and left.

"Forehead" Le......ng Gaoyi finally felt embarrassed, and stayed in place for a long time before he spoke: "This person is very difficult to deal with." ”

"Boss, this person really doesn't know how to lift up! Relying on the appreciation of the gods, not only did he ignore you today, but he even refuted the face of the gods yesterday, and he really didn't know how to be a man. Seeing Yun Ziyuan's attitude, Leng Gaoyi's younger brother said angrily.

Leng Gaoyi waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's just another ghost tooth! It's no wonder that the ghost tooth can get so close to him and ignore me the same." ”

"It's the same, I don't know how to lift. The younger brother added.

......

"Yun Ziyuan!"

Yun Ziyuan turned his head to look, this time, it was the ghost tooth.

"What about Lingxuan?" Yun Ziyuan remembered that Lingxuan was pulled by Ghost Tooth to be a neighbor yesterday, but today he saw Ghost Tooth alone, so he asked this question.

"I don't know, I didn't see her early in the morning, so I should have come out a long time ago. And I'm not her guardian, and I don't need to report her actions to me...... You care about her?" asked Ghost Fang curiously, circling around Yun Ziyuan twice.

"She's from the same place as me. ”

"I know, the mountains of the Southern Regions, I heard that the demon rebellion there has been over for half a year. By the way, have you ever seen a monster? I heard that monsters are very ferocious and powerful......

"Yes, murderous, powerful. Yun Ziyuan said casually perfunctorily.

Ghost Fang didn't care, and said to himself, "I really want to go see the demon beast! ”

Yun Ziyuan pointed to the mask on Ghost Fang's face, and the meaning was self-evident.

"......" Ghost Fang was speechless.

"By the way, what are you doing with me again?"

"I have a good relationship with you, God will be so optimistic about you, you are a potential person. Devil Fang said.

There was no meaningful conversation, Yun Ziyuan didn't pay attention to it, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Ghost Tooth gritted his teeth and said, "You kid! Shura trials are not all solo missions, sometimes you also need to be accompanied by people, so of course I need to find someone who is worthy of me in order to better pass the trial. ”

Yun Ziyuan is not impatient, but he is unwilling to spend too much time on meaningless people or things, if it is useful and important things, Yun Ziyuan is still willing to talk about them, such as the Shura trial......

"You know a lot about cultivation trials?"

“......”

Ghost Tooth stopped talking and refused to say more.

Yun Ziyuan shrugged his shoulders, since Ghost Fang didn't want to say it, he didn't bother to ask again.

——————————————————

Shura Palace, Nine Palaces and Eighteen Pavilions, Yun Ziyuan followed the crowd, under the leadership of the black-clothed servants, walking in the dense group of glorious palaces, looking at the surrounding environment from time to time.

Different from yesterday's experience in the Shura Palace, this time Yun Ziyuan can finally seriously appreciate the different scenery and alternative atmosphere of this palace. I saw that there are majestic palaces everywhere, exquisite stone pillars, auspicious clouds cover, magnificent, even the steps are engraved with flying cloud patterns, so luxurious, people are amazed.

It's just that the overall color of these temples is mainly dark ink, and if you look at it for a long time, you will have a vague sense of weightlessness, as if your soul is extracted and swallowed alive by these temples, which is very terrifying.

Yun Ziyuan remembered the scene he saw when he came out of the Feitian Hall after the banquet was dispersed yesterday, and he couldn't help but lose his soul even more, and his face was as pale as snow. At that time, when Yun Ziyuan came out, he saw broken limbs and broken bodies all over the ground, countless internal organs and bones and other red and white things were scattered everywhere, and several black-clothed servants were holding brooms, cleaning unhurriedly, sweeping the internal organs into a pile, sweeping the broken arms into a pile, and sweeping the dry bones into a pile......

Among them, those dry bones were all eaten by unknown creatures, all of them were clean, leaving no flesh and blood, and there were even many tooth marks on them, Yun Ziyuan found that the tooth marks were similar to human teeth, so he was even more shocked.

......

Back to the present, the Shura Hall in front of Yun Ziyuan had been cleaned overnight, and there was no trace of blood, and he was silent and came to his destination.

Asking the Dao Palace, more than 500 people sat together, looking forward to it, everyone has a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of their bookcase, and they really have the appearance of a private school in the world.

Yun Ziyuan didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he didn't sit in the front row, but deliberately found a corner position, looking at the direction of the palace gate with blazing eyes, looking forward to the upcoming figure.

Bell~ A bell rang, and the red-clothed servant took the lead in walking in, instructed the precautions, classroom discipline, and then ceremoniously introduced one person.

"Hello sir!"

Without waiting for the man to walk into everyone's field of vision, Leng Gaoyi took the initiative to stand up and say hello loudly.

"Hello sir!"

Seeing this, the rest of the people also came to their senses, and also stood up and greeted in unison.

"Okay, okay! You're welcome, please take a seat. ”

With a rich voice and a peaceful tone, people are very happy and enthusiastic to see such a scene.

Yun Ziyuan didn't get up to say hello, he was a little disappointed, because it was not Jingxuan Dao who came. At this moment, on the podium in the palace, is a middle-aged man with a simple appearance, a burly figure, holding a classic and ancient scriptures in his hand, like a down-and-out scholar, but he is wearing a dark blue official uniform, decorated with the sun, moon and stars, a crown of pearls, and a secular bureaucrat.

Yun Ziyuan knew that this was the costume of the Tianmen priest, and he had to be a priest of the Heavenly Gate.

"The priest is also a powerful figure, will it be Tianxuan?

Yun Ziyuan knew that in the Heavenly Gate, except for the god lord who was above the nine heavens, he would respect the gods, and the gods would be second, and there would be many ranks below. And the priests are not like the gods, they do not use force as the standard, but they have their own peculiarities.

The priest cleared his throat and said softly: "Hello everyone, this official is the Heavenly Gate Dharma Transmission Priest, you can call me Divine Officer Xue." Today, I will explain to you what it means to be a monk and how to do it. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and when they saw that others were all confused like themselves, they were even more confused, but they didn't dare to discuss it in private.

"You may be wondering, obviously all of you here are monks from the Fifth Realm, the Sixth Realm, and even the Nine Realms of the Lingwu Realm, why do I still want to tell you what the Cultivation Dao is?"

Priest Xue had already expected everyone's reactions, and he didn't explain much, so he first lit up a boy in the front row and asked, "What is cultivation? Why do you want to cultivate?"

The boy was stunned, the question of "what is cultivation" was easy for him to come up with for him from a broken family of cultivating immortals, but he never thought about the question of "why cultivate", since the Ming Dynasty, cultivation has long been an instinct similar to breathing for him. So he stammered and replied: "Cultivation is to learn the Tao and practice, to seek the true self, to remove the false and retain the true, to return the false to the Tao, and to prove the true immortal." As for why you want to cultivate the Tao...... I'm because ......"

The boy muttered for a long time, but couldn't say why.

Priest Xue smiled, asked the boy to sit down, and then said: "Actually, there is nothing to explain, cultivation is just a means for us to pursue immortality, why we cultivate the Tao, it is naturally because we hope to become immortals and live forever, that's all." ”
