Chapter 14: Danger Strikes
An Xiaoyi looked at the small hole where the topaz token was placed, and many questions rose in his heart, and he couldn't find the answers.
Just when An Xiaoyi's heart was full of doubts, a yellow light flew to the small hole in the stone gate, and after the yellow light settled down, An Xiaoyi saw that it was the topaz token.
"Boom!"
Just when the topaz token was in place, the mechanism was activated, and the stone door slowly opened in an instant, only to see that in the stone room behind the stone door, on a simple stone table, there was a dark brown stone box, the stone box had no lid, and bursts of red light emanated from the stone box.
"This is the box where the Ten Tricks of the Sky are placed?" An Xiaoyi looked at the stone box from a distance, guessing in his heart.
Just as An Xiaoyi looked at the stone box, a yellow swirl of light flew out of the stone box, passing above An Xiaoyi's head, An Xiaoyi quickly turned around, only to see the yellow swirl of light staying in the middle of the third floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
The yellow light swirl stayed for about ten breaths, and then returned to the brown stone box in the stone room, and the moment the yellow light entered the stone box, the stone door made a friction sound and slowly closed.
An Xiaoyi saw that the stone room was closed, and when he was about to speak, a bright light flashed in front of An Xiaoyi, and after the eyes were clear, a jade slip floated in front of An Xiaoyi.
"The remnants of the Ten Absolute Martial Arts of the Firmament have been rubbed in this jade slip, you can take it!" The voice continued to sound, echoing from the walls around the Scripture Pavilion.
"Thank you senior!" An Xiaoyi carefully took off the jade slip in front of him with both hands, bowed down again, turned around and went out, and went out along the stairs to the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
After An Xiaoyi glanced at it, he didn't stop and walked out of the gate of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
"Why is Shouzao lying, what is the secret behind this topaz token?" After walking out of the Scripture Pavilion, An Xiaoyi thought about it carefully, and didn't have much of a clue, and decided to go to Ruan Tianyu's cave mansion, maybe he could get some clues from the side.
An Xiaoyi walked along the stone steps mountain road to the middle section of Nanfeng Mountain, on the way, the courtyard is lined up, the building is no longer a stone cave, but a brick and wood attic, finely carved, extremely gorgeous, birds and flowers on both sides, sometimes there are groups of outer disciples, passing by from the side, there are many female cultivators, neon clothes are light and rouge, curling by, under the background of the mist in the mountain, like a fairy.
"This should be the outer gate, it's much stronger than the Registered Disciple District. An Xiaoyi looked at the surrounding scenery and was very comfortable.
Walked up for about an hour, the buildings on both sides became less and less, only to see on the rock wall everywhere, in the shade of grass and flowers, occasionally you can see a few grottoes and caves, although not as gorgeous as the outer disciple area, but also simple and elegant, quiet and clear, through the traces of time.
"This should be the area where the inner disciples are. When An Xiaoyi looked around, the rich aura penetrated his heart, and he suddenly felt refreshed, thinking that this was really a good place to practice.
An Xiaoyi walked all the way, but did not encounter any obstacles, and the monks on duty at various passes respectfully let them go after seeing Ruan Tianyu's Qingling jade pendant.
In the blink of an eye, two more hours passed, An Xiaoyi walked out of the inner disciple area and came to the area where the elder and the first cave were located, these caves were all on the cliffs, steep and extraordinary, surrounded by clouds and mist, and it was already like a fairyland.
An Xiaoyi passed through a cliffside plank road, this plank road is extremely narrow, only enough for one person to move sideways, looking down at the abyss, every step is thrilling and abnormal, if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and turn into powder.
"This first cave mansion is really not a place where outer disciples should come, and it is too dangerous here, so I won't say anything before I learn to fly. An Xiaoyi regretted it when she walked halfway to the plank road, and wanted to go back several times, and after taking a few steps back, she turned back again, after all, she walked for three hours, and she gave up like this, and she was always unwilling in her heart.
After walking the plank road for an hour, An Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly opened up, on the cliff, there was a flat land of dozens of zhang in size, after the flat land, it was the first cave where it was, this cave was completely embedded in the cliff, and the semicircular cave gate was closed......
On one side of the gate of the cave, there is a small hole, and the door of the cave is open.
An Xiaoyi came to the door of the small cave and observed, only to see a young man in white sitting in the cave, meditating and practicing.
"Senior brother, is this the first cave mansion?" An Xiaoyi asked respectfully, clenching his fists.
The young man closed his eyes and did not answer, as if he had not heard An Xiaoyi's words.
"This is my Qingling jade pendant, the first one said that you can find him at any time with this jade pendant!" An Xiaoyi saw that the young man did not answer, and raised his voice and said again.
"You're An Xiaoyi?"
After hearing the "Qingling Jade Pendant", the young man slowly spoke, and there seemed to be disgust in his words.
"The first seat has been out for a long time!" the young man continued, still closing his eyes and placing his palms facing up on the knees of his legs coiled on the futon.
"Then when will you be able to come back?" An Xiaoyi continued to ask, seeing that the young man was arrogant, he was no longer so respectful.
"Three or five months at the least, three or five years more!" the young man continued.
An Xiaoyi saw that the first seat was not there, and the young man had no kindness to him, so he didn't say more, hugged his fists and said goodbye, and left in a hurry.
"The first seat is not there, and the topaz token has not been thought about in advance. “
An Xiaoyi walked back along the plank road, and on the way back, she felt that the plank road was not so dangerous, and the speed was a little faster.
Just when An Xiaoyi walked to the position of most of the plank road, with his back to the abyss, he moved with both hands on the cliff and struggled, and came to a cliff bend, the danger suddenly came!
"Bang!"
An Xiaoyi bumped into another monk who came from the opposite side, saying that it was too late and that was fast, An Xiaoyi grabbed the monk's arm with his hand, and the monk stumbled a few times, and finally stood firm with the strength of An Xiaoyi's arm, both of them stared at each other with wide eyes, their faces showed horror, the beads of sweat on their foreheads rolled down involuntarily, and they didn't say anything for a few breaths.
"Senior brother, are you going to find the first one?" An Xiaoyi relieved himself first and asked.
"Yes, I was ordered by the ancestor of the family to negotiate with the first family about the family's selection of children to come to Nanfeng Mountain to cultivate!" said the monk on the other side after taking a deep breath and calming down the panic in his heart.
"Senior brother, you have made a trip in vain, I have just been there, and I have been traveling for a long time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while. An Xiaoyi looked at the monk opposite and told the other party what he knew.
"This ...... Okay, then let's go back!" After listening to An Xiaoyi's words, the monk on the other side knew that there was no need to go to the first cave again, and decided to go back.
After a stick of incense, the two finally walked across the plank road and came to a flat land.
"Lin Xiaofan, thanks to my junior brother's quick reaction, otherwise I would have died on the cliff!" The young monk looked at An Xiaoyi, and after opening his mouth with his fists, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"An Xiaoyi, I was reckless, senior brother, don't be surprised!" An Xiaoyi looked at Lin Xiaofan, thinking of the scene just now, he was shocked, and quickly hugged his fists and said.
"You are An Xiaoyi, who was promoted to the first place in the outer door assessment?" After Lin Xiaofan heard An Xiaoyi's words, his eyes had a little more look and respect.
After An Xiaoyi nodded slightly, the two walked down the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain, chatting as they walked.
"Senior Brother An, this outer disciple is no better than a registered disciple, it can be regarded as truly embarking on the road of cultivating immortals, the cultivation of the outer door, the cultivation of the exercises naturally cannot be wasted, but the study of basic knowledge is more important!"
"The study of basic knowledge is divided into three parts, namely spirit animals, spirit grass, and spirit weapons, and each monk chooses one or two subjects according to his own interests and characteristics. “
"The study of this spirit beast chapter is mainly to master the identification and domestication of spirit beasts; the spirit grass chapter is mainly in the direction of alchemy, which examines the identification of spirit grass and spirit wood, the control of performance and the principle of mutual restraint; and the spirit weapon chapter is mainly the spiritual power catalysis and level improvement of magic weapons and spirit weapons. “
"For the study of these three articles, you need to go to the Spirit Beast Valley, the Spirit Grass Garden and the Spirit Weapon Workshop respectively to receive the corresponding knowledge jade slips, and after mastering them, you can participate in the assessment. “
"After passing the basic knowledge assessment, you are eligible to participate in the promotion assessment of animal tamers, alchemists and refiners, generally according to each person's strengths, become one or two of the technicians, and those who have obtained two kinds of technician qualifications, the seven peaks in the north and south of Qingfeng Gate, a total of no more than ten people, as for those who have obtained three kinds of technician qualifications, the entire sect, there is no one. “
Along the way, Lin Xiaofan told An Xiaoyi everything he knew.
This descent was much faster than going up, and it only took an hour for the two of them to reach the area where the outer disciples were.
After An Xiaoyi listened to Lin Xiaofan's words, he had some eyebrows in his heart about the cultivation of the outer door.
"Beast tamer, mainly for the identification and domestication of spirit beasts, the yellow crow has been uncontrolled, its whereabouts are uncertain, the key is to always cause trouble, after learning the spirit beast chapter, can you make the yellow crow obedient?" An Xiaoyi thought of the yellow crow and decided to learn the spirit beast chapter first.
An Xiaoyi didn't go to the outer disciple cave house assigned to him by the sect, he went directly to the Spirit Beast Valley, received the spirit beast jade slip, and used spiritual power to probe into the jade slip to take a rough look, there are about 50,000 kinds of spirit beast and bird information and various spirit beast and bird domestication methods.
"I still have to go to the Gongfa Pavilion, be promoted to the first place in the outer door assessment, get 10,000 performance points, and go to change another exercise. After An Xiaoyi came out of the Spirit Beast Valley, he remembered 10,000 performance points and decided to go to the Gongfa Pavilion.
This Gongfa Pavilion, although it is not as magnificent as the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, is not three floors, only two floors, but the size of the building is twice as large as the Zangjing Pavilion, but it is not bad!
An Xiaoyi came to the first floor of the Gongfa Pavilion, and looked around, only to see that there were a lot of shelves in the Gongfa Pavilion, and on each shelf was an exercise, and there were many people who came here to choose the exercises, which were a little noisy, not as empty as the Zangjing Pavilion.
An Xiaoyi walked around the first floor of the entire exercise pavilion, but did not find the exercises he was interested in, and went down the stairs to the second floor, where there were fewer exercise shelves and a lot fewer people.
"The exercises on this second floor are too expensive, and the performance points are all above 5,000, no wonder there are no people. After An Xiaoyi looked at it for about a week, he found that the exercises on the second floor were extremely expensive.
Just when An Xiaoyi hesitated, planning to go downstairs and give up choosing exercises, he saw a corner of the second-floor exercise pavilion, on a stone platform, there was a wooden box in the shape of a beast's head......
