I dug up the sleeping black and white bear in the hollow of the tree, and it took me a lot of effort to figure it out after I woke him up. Hearing me say that the fish grilled by black and white bears is delicious, Yan Ruolin, who wanted to try it, asked Fengmeng to cook food for us immediately. After more than half a month, the progress of Fengmeng's grilled fish skills is impressive, and he really has a unique talent in making food.

Yan Ruolin recounted that the Kunlun Sect began to look for me after my parents died--according to the regulations of the selection of immortals, after the death of the guardian, I automatically entered the sect's guardianship link--but the first wave of disciples who took over the ferry only found the silver snake sword I threw in the sea. The elders calculated that my life was fine, and because there were other immortal seedlings to be selected, the Duren Yuan was not manpowered, so it was postponed for a year or two (according to their rules, the immortal seedlings were selected every three years, and I was counted in the fiftieth year of Zhengde).

Yan Ruolin was training in the Eastern Wilderness Continent these days, so she accepted the commission of the Ferry House nearby. If it were me, I would be able to control my own Silver Serpent Sword. That's why Yan Ruolin recognized me.

- She didn't talk about Qu Lingxing's message, presumably because Kunlun's Duren Yuan felt that there was no need to inform this executor.

"Ah, the Duren Courtyard actually told me to ignore the affairs of the Baiyun Township Cave Mansion!"

I was thinking about how to explain to her the cave mansion of the head of the sea and how to cover up the affairs of Murong Zhi and the Baiyun Domain, when the jewel embedded in Yan Ruolin's ring suddenly flickered, and it seemed that there was a powerful divine thought shaking, and the pressure I felt was similar to Ren Pingchao's thoughts.

She communicated with the divine thought on the bead for a moment, cursed, and then noticed my curious expression.

"This is called the Peace Bead, only the four major sects can make zuò's transmission magic weapon, a small use of the magic power of the universe, can transmit divine thoughts hundreds of thousands of miles apart. Just now, the master of the Duren Courtyard told me to give up the action of searching for treasures here with a divine thought--I don't know what these elders think? When I flew here, the news spread all over the three thousand miles that there was a Yuanying Cave Mansion here, and I was told to let go even though there was a treasure. Hum. I'm going to complain to my dad about them when I get back to the mountain!"

The girl pouted willfully, and threw me a ring that was also embedded with peace beads, "This is from the sect to my uncle." The ring can store a storehouse, and the peace bead can be used to communicate with people. ”

With that, the light of my peace bead flickered, and her divine thoughts passed from the bead to mine. I tried it, and my own divine thoughts could also be transmitted to her beads - the peace beads could record the specific divine thoughts of the other party like a human face. As long as there are cultivators of the Peace Beads, we have met once and exchanged divine thoughts with each other, and in the future, we can use divine thoughts to transmit messages across thousands of mountains and rivers - of course, just like encountering a special area where the spiritual energy is disturbed, the transmission of divine thoughts will be interrupted, and there are many such dangerous places as the Five Continents and the Three Realms.

- Since Yan Ruolin no longer carefully interrogated Dongtian, the big stone in my heart fell, and I told her about my days on the island half-truthfully. It seems that Yan Ruolin is not interested in the trivial matters of the world, and I know that there are still some loopholes in the lie, but she does not react. It seems that when she finds me, her task has been completed, and since she can't go deep into the matter of treasure, then other things have nothing to do with her, and they hang high.

This is the best for me, rest assured, I gossip with Yan Ruolin.

"We are smoking on the beach, are we not afraid of the warning of scattered cultivation on the island from afar?" I asked Yan Ruolin - with Jin Dan's eyesight, he could find us more than ten miles away. In addition, what I didn't ask was why Yan Ruolin didn't use "absolute" to suppress herself in the state of ordinary people.

The training I received after landing on the island was to hide my strength in a low-key manner at all times, not only to be able to play a pig and eat a tiger against the enemy, but also to make ordinary people try not to alienate themselves. Her natural release of Jindan aura without pretense was contrary to the training I received.

"We found out that it was the best to get rid of all the troublesome rats. ”

The girl didn't care,

"This world is the world of our cultivators, why should we hide like a mouse? Uncle Yuan, now is not the civilized era when the emperor persecuted the Daomen, and the world has been in the palm of our sect for a thousand years. ”

I was speechless—the little girl didn't care at all that mortals would stay away from her.

She probably finally remembered that Feng Meng hadn't eaten it yet, so she gave it a skewer of grilled fish.

"A good dog can't eat until the owner finishes eating, and he must understand the rules in the future!"

The black and white bear who was beaten by her had a blue nose and swollen face nodded without tears, and according to his usual habit of grabbing food with me, he was beaten into a pig's head by Yan Ruolin, and was forced to swear that he was not a bear, but a black and white puppy.

"After all, he is also a spirit beast who does not understand human affairs, how can he bully him like that? Let him freely exert his nature. ”

I muttered to my future cousin.

When I lived with Xiao Zhi, we were all messing around with Feng Meng and Crimson (and later the nine-colored little doe Shenzi). Spirit animals are different from us humans, and being unrestrained is what they are. My father's subordinates in charge of pirates in those days only issued general orders, and the rest was left to his subordinates - good citizens who were bound by the king's law would not go to the sea to kill people and steal goods.

"The spirit beasts I raised in Kunlun Mountain all taught them rules one by one from an early age until they understood it. Uncle Yuan had better not treat spirit beasts as simple beast pets. They have the hope of becoming demons, and they should be regarded as naughty children in the human race -- if they are not disciplined, they will turn into demons, which will be even more terrible than the worldly gentlemen, and they will be able to eat and kill people after entering the world. ”

"I don't eat people, I eat fish, ants, honey, bamboo...... Preferably with wine. ”

"Talk about it again. ”

The black and white bear whined, stuffed the fish into its mouth, and covered its face with its big palm. If Yan Ruolin shaved his mouth again, his face would be flattened.

I was silent, secretly thinking that you Lao Tzu was also a naughty boy since he was a child, will I have to be disciplined by the fucking elders when I enter Kunlun in the future?

- Didn't you slap my bear, didn't you slap my face?

Then I thought that in my life, I had never entered a secular school, that martial arts were passed down from my father, and that literature was taught by my mother, and that I had to rely entirely on self-study and robbing people of the classics -- would I be punished by the gentlemen in the Taoist sect in the future? I was used to living a free and easy life, and I didn't want to be in the box again.

Lao Tzu is more than seventeen years old, and he still has to suffer from such idleness?

Huhuhu, I repeated it over and over again -- to endure humiliation and burden, to endure humiliation and burden...... If you don't go to Kunlun, you can't learn Taoism, and there is no hope of meeting Xiaozhi again in the future.

"Uncle Yuan really can't remember what happened before, have all the supernatural powers and methods been in vain?"

The girl asked.

Nonsense, I want to remember, do you still have to whisper to you, the eldest lady!

“...... Well, probably I wanted to take a new path in my previous life, and in the case of hopeless avenues, I decided to abandon my past self - it's as simple as that. Do you know who I was in my previous life, and what kind of skills did I rely on to get mixed up in the Tao?"

I didn't have any goods in my stomach, so I turned out the speculation of Qu Lingxing, the head of the Star Sect, and told her about it, and I could always bluff this disciple.

Yan Ruolin blinked,

"When I went down the mountain, my father told me that Uncle Yuan was the great Thunder Master of my sect in his previous life. The method "General Outline of the Heavenly Thunder Law" founded by Uncle Shi wants to completely destroy the first heavenly tribulation 'Three Tribulations' that lies between the Yuan Infant Realm and the Returning to the Void Realm, and turn it into a smooth path for a true cultivator. ”

"What are the Three Tribulations, and why are they called the First Heavenly Tribulation?"

At most, my vision is only to the gap between Jindan and Yuanying, and I only know that Yuanying is a person who returns to the void when he goes up, and he can only become an immortal if he crosses the catastrophe. As for how heavy the calamity is, and how can I get through it? I don't know at all.

"Sure enough, it's all gone. Let's popularize it for you. The girl crooked her mouth and said,

"The Yuan Infant Crossing the Dao Tribulation after the peak of the Jindan, the Leakless Golden Body was transformed into a Dharma Body, and the Yin God was tempered into the Yuan Shen, and he was already the strongest person that Heaven could tolerate. If a cultivator wants to go up and break through in his cultivation, the heavens will descend on him three times in the nature of assessment. The first weight of the calamity is the three calamities, there are all kinds of divine thunder and thunder, all kinds of true fire refining, and all kinds of evil winds to dissipate. If you can't get over, your form and spirit will be destroyed, and if you pass, you will pass the entrance examination of Guòtian and become a person who returns to the void. After two more tribulations, the Void Returner will be able to become an immortal and ascend to the Void and refine the Void Merge Dao - this is the truth that has been explored in the cultivation realm for thousands of years. However, there is no great test for cultivators to pass through the heavens, and no one has passed the third tribulation so far, and there is no one in the world who has attained immortality. ”

Since the fundamental goal of this method is to safely survive the three tribulations, it must of course start from the most preliminary mortal thunder, mortal fire, and mortal wind, and then control all kinds of innate and acquired thunder, fire, and wind, and finally let people easily break through to the realm of returning to the void.

I had a whim: With the method of "General Outline of the Heavenly Thunder Law", wouldn't the golden bridge for the primordial infant to travel to and from the virtual realm be in the hands of Lao Tzu? If I were to take out this method to exchange it for treasure and teach disciples, how many caves of ......wealth could I trade? If I exchange this method for some top-level divine soul spell in the future, it will also be a weight to take, right?

"Wasn't I strong in the past?"

"Of course. Uncle Shi, do you know? In the past, the monks who had died and fallen were not counted, but now there are hundreds of thousands of soul-opening beings in the world, and there are only more than 10,000 people who have become Jindan, and about 500 Yuanying people. Every Yuan Infant is a great person who has established a great Dharma and has great magical powers, so I am also very worried about my uncle's current cultivation. It seems that my current uncle can't instruct me on any spiritual matters, but it seems that I am going to teach you some basic skills. ”

My face was flushed with embarrassment,

"Then how can I turn the calamity! Since I have such a strong method, why don't I go back to the void? Since my method can allow people to pass the first heavenly tribulation casually, there should be as many junior brothers as many as clouds. ”

"So my father said that Uncle Shi is a strange person, you set up this method in your previous life, and the vein master, peak master, and courtyard master of my sect can do whatever you want, but you don't even want to apply for an elder, and you are an inner disciple before the turn of the tribulation. The disciple only taught one person, and was slaughtered when you were unhappy, and in the end, no one received your inheritance. So much so that some unwitting elders think that your method is a parallel trade touted by a small circle......"

Yan Ruolin paused and said with a smile

"But I believe that Uncle Shi's method is true, because your electric snake forced me to use the Golden Crow Sword's Sun True Fire to self-detonate the clone to offset it - this is far beyond your Jindan's lower-level cultivation. ”

I wanted to find a crack in the ground - my past life was really no character. Forget it, anyway, I only use this thunder method as a self-defense spell now, and I will sell it at a high price when I encounter someone who knows the goods in the future.

In this life, what I want to cultivate is a divine soul spell anyway.

My peace bead flickered, and the powerful divine thoughts of the master of the Ferry Courtyard were transmitted. Yan Ruolin's peace bead also seemed to have received his divine thoughts again.

"The master of the ferry courtyard has something to talk to you about, so I'll avoid it first. Her eyes lost their brightness and she sat cross-legged like a rock. I touched the girl's body, and she didn't respond, as if she had fallen asleep forever.

"Xiao Yuan, that's the six senses are cut off, and Princess Lin often uses this harsh method to exercise her Yin God when she is busy. ”

I remembered that Murong Zhi also used the six senses to cut off and unconsciously poured me into the sarcophagus.

In front of me was a human form conjured up by the divine thought of the Peace Bead, not a doppelganger of thoughts, but a projection. The appearance of this immortal wind Dao bone is just like the standard portrait of the Taoist who crosses people into immortals in Zhiwei novels.

"I'm Yu Zhenghong, the master of the Ferry Academy, and the head of the Star Sect has brought us a letter - he has met you who are drifting around, and he has lowered you to this desert island to wait for us. Yuan Yi trained you well, and at the age of seventeen, you trained your body to the lower level of Jindan. It's the head of the Star Sect who taught you a little bit of the method of using the Yin God, that's good. ”

――It seems that Qu Lingxing completely concealed the affairs of Dongtian and Xiaozhi from the people of the Kunlun Sect for me. Yu Zhenghong, the master of the academy who chose the immortal seedlings, has excellent eyesight, and he sees my cultivation as close to it, but how I got today's achievements He basically guessed wrong-Anyway, Qu Lingxing got rid of the trouble for me, so I will follow his caliber and beat the snake and stick it.

Yu Zhenghong led me to walk along the beach, and talked about the Kunlun Sect's arrangements for me,

"Xiao Yuan, your situation is similar to those Jin Dan who occasionally succeed in the robbery - although they have obtained the next life, the memory of the previous life has been completely lost, and they can only be regarded as a new immortal seedling. You have lost your memory, and you have no connection with your previous life, and our sect does not accept you as the founder of the Lei Fa General Outline, but as an immortal seedling with excellent spiritual roots - after you get started, you don't have to have the pressure of your previous life, and you can't rely on the reputation of your previous life to bully people. Do you understand that?"

I understand.

I don't have the strength, and I don't have anyone to sell it.

"Princess Lin's call you Uncle Shi is her father's private advice, and it has nothing to do with the official decision of our sect. Your seniority is only the immortal seedlings selected in the 50th year of Zhengde - other elders and disciples will not regard you as a senior in terms of inheritance. I must make this clear, so as to save any entanglements in the future. ”

"Well, I don't think of my past life as anything anyway. I said cheerfully.

Yu Zhenghong sighed, "You can think so, then...... That's for the best. ”

"I have a few things I want to ask you about, may you dislike?"

When I met such a reasonable person, I relaxed a little, and I also learned to think about some words and phrases like a good student in the world.

"It's okay, I'm the master of the Duren Courtyard, a child of your age has a strong opinion, and I know everything I like to ask. ”

"I used to be a pirate, I don't think there is anything wrong with my father's business, will the elders of the cultivation realm think that all pirates should be killed, and the children of pirates should be disciplined?"

"The matter of pirates in the world depends on the situation, but since you have been selected as an immortal seedling, we will not treat you differently. Our Kunlun Sect pursues immortality, not a layman born in the world. We only look at the spiritual root of the immortal seedling, whether it can provide a path to immortality, whether it can create a method that can lead to immortality, whether it can invent any supernatural powers to deal with external objects and demons, whether it can promote our path in the world - nothing else is a problem. ”

- That's the best, it seems that their concept is quite similar to that of Qu Lingxing, the head of the Star Sect. I don't have to pretend to be whitewashed.

"I have never gone to a private school, I have not been subjected to a gentleman's board, and I have not worshipped the worldly officials and emperors. Will your Kunlun Sect use the emperor's set of treating his courtiers as domestic slaves to rectify his disciples? The novel says that when you meet the head of a certain sect, the disciples have to kneel three times and bow nine times, making them worse than dogs. In that case, I hate it very much. ”

Woo Zheng Hongwan smiled, and my face was full of doubt.

"You haven't seen any of the heads of my sect with a good face when you were alive, haha. The relationship between master and apprentice in the world is different, and the situations you mentioned do exist in some schools. However, in the inheritance of the Dao art of the four great sects like ours, the disciple is the most valuable treasure -- a cultivator who has been raised like a slave can walk out of his own path of immortality except for figuring out his intentions? Hmph, a guy who doesn't even have a self-face, has no Dao heart, and can't take the first step of cultivating the truth. ”

He said solemnly,

"You have been selected as an immortal seedling by our sect, no matter whether you can succeed in the future or not, you must remember that the cultivator will follow his own path. At the beginning, we Kunlun were disgusted with the hypocrisy of the world and the slavery of the emperor, and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Enlightenment and immortality are the common aspirations of our generation of cultivators, and on this path, there is only the order and achievement of hearing the Tao, and there is no respect or humility of the monarch and the minister. ”

"Then, I can think that the master is just a forerunner in imparting the experience and skills of cultivation to my disciples, and I don't have to provide for him like my father's mother. ”

I hate being the most.

"You are seventeen years old, and you have your own opinions and wills, unlike those children who are not sensible and have to restrain their playfulness. No master can teach you anything. Disciples and masters are equal. ”

"Yay. I took a deep breath.

"So, are you willing to worship our Kunlun Sect as a disciple?"

The master of the courtyard asked me three times.

I nodded three times.

"The rules of my sect are not strict, you ask Duke Lin to memorize it. There are only two major items, and you must remember: first, you can't deny that your lineage comes from our Kunlun, and second, you can't kill our Kunlun disciples and untaught disciples in our Kunlun caves and dojos - the consequence of violating them is that the whole sect will crusade against you until you are all gone. ”

-- No problem. I promise that I won't do that stupid thing.

Yu Zhenghong smiled faintly and gave me the outer disciple token engraved with the name of "Yuan Jiankong".

I know that this is one of the most precious things in the world, and the official seal of the imperial court below the seventh rank is only comparable to it.

"You have passed the selection of immortal seedlings, and we will move on to the next link, which is the main topic of my special trip here: your inner disciple qualification test will start now. ”
