Chapter 36 The Gambling Contract
Zihua has a very strict grip on the distinction between good and evil, and has strict requirements for the disciples to enter the martial arts, and always supervises them to practice diligently and hard, so as to prepare for the future eradication of the bloodthirsty sect and evil spirits. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is more relaxed about the restrictions on the door rules, and he also feels that this door rule should be abolished, but the four elders and some conservative disciples in the door have repeatedly come forward to oppose it, so they have to give up.
Qinghua shook his head and said, "This time, that time." Hundreds of years ago, the demon clan was rampant, and at that time, the righteous path warriors were all to resist and eliminate the demon clan as their main task, and now the demon clan is declining, and the bloodthirsty sect is a disaster, and the alliance of righteous people plans to exterminate the bloodthirsty sect, what can you say?"
Changchun Zi was speechless, his eyes widened, and he didn't know how to respond. The eldest son said coldly: "Senior nephew Qinghua, changing the door rules requires strength. ”
"What do you mean by Uncle Shi? Do you have to have a few tricks with me?" Qinghua had no fear.
The eldest son's face froze, and he pointed to His Highness Lu Xiaoyuan and said, "Today's matter started because of this disciple, and it should be stopped by him." In this way, in five months, it will be the day when the Frightened Ghost Forest will open, if he breaks through to the fifth order, this door rule can naturally be invalidated, if he can't break through, the door rule will remain the same, how about it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, and the terrifying ghost forest was extremely sinister, and the disciple who had been in the house for less than two years would never be allowed to enter by his master. Lu Xiaoyuan heard the senior brothers mention the Fear Ghost Forest, which is used to test the cultivation of Shenglang disciples, which is divided into nineteen ranks, and there are many fierce beasts of the demon clan in it, but there are also many rare medicinal materials and spirit stones. Although his bronze sword is mortal, after refining into the spirit stone, it can also increase the spiritual power and continue to rise in rank. Although he knew the danger, he still wanted to go in and have a look, but instead asked, "Master, can I go in?"
Qinghua said: "If you use your five months of cultivation to break into the ghost forest, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured, in case the meridians are damaged, your cultivation will be restricted in the future." You have to think about it. "After the true qi is cultivated, it is stored in the sea of qi, and the operation of the true qi is channeled through the meridians around the body, and the meridians are damaged, and some advanced martial arts cannot be cultivated, which also limits the attainment of martial arts.
Lu Xiaoyuan saw that the master did not mean to disappoint it, and immediately nodded and said, "I'm not afraid! The reason why he agreed was that he was bold and wanted to go in and break through, and secondly, when he saw that these two old men were so arrogant, he also wanted to fight for his master.
Qinghua's eyes showed a slight hint of approval: "That's good." ”
"Don't do this!" Zihua stood up, his face full of anger, and said: "Such a major matter as revising and abolishing the rules of the sect is related to the majesty of the Shenglang faction and the future development and decline of the sect, how can it be so child's play, and make decisions through bets?"
Qinghua said: "Senior brother in charge, if the two uncles insist on this, we can gather the heads of each branch, gather in the ancestral hall, set up a ceremony, and make incense as an oath, isn't it?" And once the major events in the door are decided in the ancestral hall, there is absolutely no room for change.
Zihua frowned, and said in her heart: "You are really nonsense." Lu Xiaoyuan has just started, and it took five months for him to cultivate more? How can he enter the Frightened Ghost Forest? I am thinking about your subordinates, but you have forced yourself into a dead end. Changchunzi and Changshengzi saw that Qinghua insisted on making a bet, but they were a little surprised, and they couldn't understand why Qinghua sent Lu Xiaoyuan to death, but they still had a clever plan and had no fear.
I only heard Qinghua say: "After five months, he will enter the Frightened Ghost Forest, and when he comes out of the Ghost Forest, the abolition of the door rules will be determined." ”
Zihua persuaded: "Senior brother, don't you need to think about it?" Qinghua glanced at Lu Xiaoyuan, and when he saw that Lu Xiaoyuan was not afraid, he shook his head slightly.
Changchunzi and Changshengzi didn't expect the apprentice to be bold, and the master was so casual, which surprised him. After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoyuan's life and death were a matter of Tianzhu Peak, and when he thought of this, he agreed.
Zihua hesitated for a long time, but still summoned Su Hua, Miaohua and the other two elders to gather in the ancestral hall. The first Danhua of Jin Danfeng specializes in alchemy and refining, and is not involved in this matter. The ancestral hall of the patriarch is very large, and a central offering table is equivalent to the size of Lu Xiaoyuan's room, divided into several steps, from high to low, from high to low, it is arranged by the founding patriarch to Zihua and Qinghua's master, Zhengyangzi. There is a big tripod in front of the table, just after the Qingming Festival, a few incense pieces are broken in the tripod, and the entire ancestral hall has been cleaned, and there is not much dust.
Everyone arrived at the first seat, and listened to Zihua talk about the gambling contract, Suhua persuaded Qinghua not to do this, but Qinghua politely declined. Miaohua Zhenren also complained to Qinghua somewhat because Qinghua did something wrong back then and even affected the Shenglang faction, not to mention that Zihua and Qinghua insisted on accepting Lu Xiaoyuan a few days ago, which also made him a little dissatisfied with Qinghua and Lu Xiaoyuan, and did not dissuade him.
Guanyangzi and Jingyangzi listened to what Changchun and Changsheng said about this, and they both turned their eyes to Lu Xiaoyuan, stared at it for a moment, and then snorted coldly, obviously believing that Lu Xiaoyuan would not be able to break through the Frightened Ghost Forest, and would definitely be seriously injured or even lose his life.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the matter was irreparable, Zihua coughed lightly, put on his face, burned incense and worshipped, and announced the matter in front of the ancestral throne. The head of each branch also burned three incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner, and knelt down and prayed together.
At the end of the ceremony, Lu Xiaoyuan and Shouchang followed Qinghua out of the ancestral hall, although he agreed at the time, he was still a little afraid of the crisis of the ghost forest, after all, the disciples of the Shenglang faction could only enter after at least two years of cultivation, although Lu Xiaoyuan was not afraid of heaven and earth, he also knew the difference between two years and half a year.
Immediately asked Qinghua and said, "Master, since I am going to enter the Frightened Ghost Forest in six months, do you want to pass on some powerful skills to your disciples?" He practiced the Blue Fire Palm for a long time, and although he practiced the red fire into purple fire, he found that the power of this Blue Fire Palm was really limited. I thought about taking this opportunity to set some mid-level and high-level martial arts from Qinghua.
Qinghua glanced at him and said lightly: "There's no need, you have your own ideas for the teacher." Ren Lu Xiaoyuan begged hard, but Qinghua just didn't pass it on.
At night, on Tianzhu Peak, Shouxiong, Shoubai, and Shourong all gathered in Lu Xiaoyuan and Shouchang's room to discuss the matter. Shouxiong patted his chest and swore and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, after entering the ghost forest, you will follow the senior brother closely, and the senior brother will ensure that you pass smoothly." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan saw Shouxiong so righteous, and listened to him easily, and he was also relieved, and thanked him repeatedly. Shou Bai on the side frowned and said: "The Frightened Ghost Forest is allowed to enter in a team of four or five people, but the terrain in the forest is complicated, and the Yin Spirit Demon ** is extremely dangerous, and it is probably necessary to fight alone at the third level." He sighed and said, "The two uncles and ancestors of Changchunzi and Changshengzi have already calculated it, how can they leave us room for it?"
Lu Xiaoyuan's heart that had just been relieved tightened again, looking at Shoubai, and then at Shouxiong. Shouxiong said depressedly: "Second Senior Brother, how did you tell Senior Brother Lu the truth? After entering the Ghost Forest, let's try our best to protect him, and now tell him, don't you let him be frightened in vain?"
Lu Xiaoyuan listened to the conversation between the two senior brothers and became even more worried. The five of them discussed for a long time, but there was still no countermeasure, and finally Shouxiong patted Lu Xiaoyuan on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, don't be discouraged, there are still five months to go, as long as you practice hard in these five months, you will always have a chance to break through the fifth order." ”
At the moment, there is no good strategy, no matter how worried and worried it is, it will only be in vain, and it will leave a laughing stock for Changchunzi and others, Lu Xiaoyuan can only focus on improving his true qi cultivation and cultivating martial arts.
After half a month, Qinghua successively taught Lu Xiaoyuan, Lei Yuanzhang, and Sanxian Po. On this day, Lu Xiaoyuan was practicing the newly learned Three Immortals in the practice field, when he suddenly had a pain in his head, and he cried out with an "oops". The four disciples under Qinghua were all on the field, and when they heard Lu Xiaoyuan's shout, they saw Lu Xiaoyuan covering his head and ran over.
A "squeak" of laughter sounded from the trees not far away, full of mockery. The five of them saw that an ape was squatting on a tree, pointing at Lu Xiaoyuan. Thinking about it, Lu Xiaoyuan didn't send it to the door to let the two spirit beasts tease him in the past half a month, and the two spirit beasts were a little dissatisfied, so they simply came to the door.
Lu Xiaoyuan saw the smiling face of the spirit ape, and his heart was full of anger, and he shouted, "Stinky monkey, look how I teach you!" Shouxiong, Shourong, and Shouchang shouted in unison: "Senior brother, be careful. They also knew that the ape crane had no malicious intentions, so they continued to practice.
Lu Xiaoyuan rushed to the bottom of the tree, flew and jumped up, "Blue Fire Palm!" The two palms carried the green flames and hit the spirit ape, the spirit ape's body flashed, and it had reached another branch in a flash, Lu Xiaoyuan missed a hit, caught up with a few steps, and the blue fire hit out with both palms, and the spirit ape dodged again.
chased and fled, Lu Xiaoyuan unconsciously chased the spirit ape to the forest where he was chopping wood, the two big pits were still there, and the mud in the pits was already a little dry. The spirit ape no longer dodged, jumped to the ground, and started to move with Lu Xiaoyuan.
The spirit ape is really a beast that has attained the Dao, its movements are agile, and its body is extremely fast, but it just jumps around, Lu Xiaoyuan took turns to break the three immortals, the blue fire palm, and the Lei Yuan palm, but they couldn't touch its body, but was scratched a few times by the spirit ape on his body and face.
After a few more rounds, a long chirp sounded, Lu Xiaoyuan turned his head in a hurry, and saw that the crane had also arrived, watching from the sidelines, and did not interfere. Seeing the arrival of the other party's reinforcements, Lu Xiaoyuan was anxious, and mobilized all the true qi in the sea of qi, and launched it with his palms folded, "Lei Yuan Palm"!
Brilliant thunder light was generated in his palm, spreading outward into a huge thunder net, covering the spirit ape. "Ah!?" Lu Xiaoyuan was shocked, he didn't expect that the Lei Yuan Palm, which had condensed ten percent of true qi, would be so powerful, the resentment between him and the ape crane was like the fighting spirit between children, although he said that he was going to roast the two of them, he didn't even think about seriously injuring the ape and crane. He wanted to retreat, but he was a beginner, how could he send and receive as he pleased? Instead, his body was carried forward by the thunder net, so he had to shout: "Be careful!"
