Chapter 17 Penglai Island
"That's not necessarily, the cold-faced Lei Jun is just presiding over the Fa, various tests and tests, or the inner disciples below are in charge, even if those big families can't blatantly cheat, but on small issues, those inner disciples will definitely turn a blind eye. Zhang Haiping interrupted Xie Gang's delusions.
"Aren't you afraid, aren't you afraid that we, the monks, will make trouble in front of the cold-faced Lei Jun?" The shy Zhou Dielan seemed to be accustomed to the existence of several monks, and dared to express her opinion a little.
Zhang Haiping shook his head and said: "Dielan, you are too naΓ―ve, if you do this, even if you enter the Penglai faction in the future, it will be difficult, maybe one day you won't be able to stand the difficulties and quit the sect." β
Xie Gang was very unconvinced: "After entering the sect, I have my own rules and precepts, and I am afraid of what those big families will do." β
Zhang Haiping looked at Xie Gang with hateful eyes: "Don't you want to think about it, even if you don't violate the rules and precepts of the door, those big families also have ways to clean you up, such as assigning you a time-consuming task every month, and you still don't cultivate?" Brother Shi Xian, you are commenting, am I right?"
Now that Zhang Haiping asked about himself, Shi Xuan had to say two sentences: "Okay, sit upright, those ghostly tricks that can't get on the stage can't affect me, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." "There is no specific situation, naturally it cannot be specifically analyzed, if it is a small means within the general rules, then it can only be endured temporarily, if it exceeds the rules, Zhanglutang, Leng Mian Lei Jun are not dead, if it is dangerous to their own lives, then they have to complain that they will strike first.
Seeing that Shi Xuan also supported the ideas of Xie Gang and Zhou Dielan, Zhang Haiping was quite depressed, and just at this time, the meal was ready, and he vented his emotions to eat.
Zhou Dielan, who had always been shy, suddenly stood up and beckoned to the door: "Sister Yu, come here!" After shouting, he found that the monks in the entire hall were looking at him, and he was suddenly ashamed, his face was flushed, and he wanted to bury his face in the rice bowl.
Coming in at the door was a friar in a crimson dress, also about twenty years old, with a flowery appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, snow-white skin against the background of red clothes, even more pink, the whole person was as delicate as a burning fire, but the expression was quite cold and arrogant, which was just the opposite of dressing.
"Hehe, Dielan, don't you introduce this girl?" Zhang Haiping saw the female monk coming, and stood up enthusiastically to greet him.
"This is Sister Yu Ruoshuiyu, the one Dielan mentioned just now. Zhou Dielan, who was already able to speak fluently in front of Shi Xuan and the others, also stood up and introduced to the three of them.
Yu Ruoshui looked indifferent, and after returning everyone's salutes, he said to Zhou Dielan to himself: "Why don't you run around alone, and you are not afraid of meeting bad people." β
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Haiping and Xie Gang were embarrassed, and Shi Xuan also felt that although Yu Ruoshui's name had the word water, he was afraid that his surname was not very good.
Zhou Dielan hurriedly waved her hand: "Brother Zhang, Brother Shi, and Brother Xie are all good people. Then he repeated Zhang Haiping's words.
After listening to what Zhou Dielan said, Yu Ruoshui's face softened, Xu knew that his tone was too impulsive just now, so he hurriedly said to the three of them: "My sister Dielan, her surname is shy, her surname is simple, I am worried that he will be deceived by bad people, and my tone just now is a little anxious." Although it is an apology, it can be seen that this girl is a rare apology.
Zhang Haiping, as a male surname, is not good at getting entangled in this, so he had to divert the topic: "I heard that Miss Yu, you came with your family, why didn't you come together?"
Yu Ruoshui's face deteriorated again, and blurted out: "Those guys, they know how to attract bees and butterflies, if they can't enter the Penglai faction this time, go back to see grandpa and don't break their legs." β
Everyone didn't dare to answer, and Yu Ruoshui also knew that he had missed his mouth, so he had to sit next to him with a face and not speak. Or Zhou Dielan asked the maid to add a set of dishes and chopsticks.
"I don't know what kind of cultivation realm you are now, Miss Yu? Let me tell you, Brother Zhang broke through to the out-of-body stage when he was twenty-five years old, which is really amazing. Xie Gang seized every opportunity to pat Zhang Haiping's ass.
After hearing this, Zhang Haiping straightened his back slightly and straightened his chest.
Yu Ruoshui showed a smile on his face, opened his mouth, but did not answer. Zhou Dielan, who was next to her, said softly: "Sister Yu broke through to the out-of-body period last year, when she was just twenty-two years old. β
The smile on Zhang Haiping's face condensed as soon as he brushed it, and Xie Gang's smile was also extremely embarrassing, but he thought about it for a while, and immediately said loudly: "Miss Yu, you are a child of the family, it is normal to be able to break through to the out-of-body period at the age of twenty-two, Brother Zhang is a casual cultivator, and he can not but be said to be a genius to get to this point!"
Seeing that Yu Ruoshui just smiled and didn't speak, Zhang Haiping's face softened a little, but it was still ugly, Xie Gang saw Shi Xuan in a hurry, and asked Shi Xuan like grasping a life-saving straw: "Brother Shi, you are also from a casual cultivation, right?"
Shi Xuan nodded: "Exactly." β
Xie Gang then asked, "That casual cultivation is much more difficult than the children of the family, that's right, right?"
Somewhat understanding what Xie Gang wanted to ask, Shi Xuan was secretly amused in his heart, whether this was considered to be a stone and hit his own foot, and replied with a serious face: "That's true." β
Zhou Dielan, who didn't understand the situation, also echoed and said: "Indeed, my father and I practice very hard. β
Seeing that both of them agreed with his words, Xie Gang's smile became natural again: "In this case, isn't it very powerful that Brother Zhang can break through to the out-of-body period at the age of twenty-five? Brother Shi, I don't know when you broke through to the out-of-body period? You must have had enough of the hardships of casual cultivation." β
Shi Xuan didn't intend to achieve other people's face, because at the enrollment ceremony, the cultivation realm would be known by others, and if he lied at this time, it would make others think that Shi Xuan was scheming, so Shi Xuan replied very neatly: "I broke through before I was twenty-one years old." β
Xie Gang's smile immediately froze on his face.
Zhang Haiping wanted to smile, but he couldn't squeeze out a smile.
Only Zhou Dielan sincerely exclaimed: "Brother Shi, you have reached the out-of-body period at such an age, you are really powerful, I think the Penglai Sect will definitely accept you as a disciple." β
Yu Ruoshui, who had not spoken, was also a little surprised, it was rare to break through at this age in casual cultivation.
After that, Xie Gang and Zhang Haiping only buried their heads in eating and rarely spoke, but Shi Xuan, Yu Ruoshui, and Zhou Dielan talked a few words from time to time, and gradually became familiar with each other.
In the next two days, Zhang Haiping and Xie Gang got acquainted with many monks, and they were very happy on the boat.
For Shi Xuan, Zhang Haiping still greeted him very politely, and occasionally chatted a few words, but he was not as enthusiastic as before. And Xie Gang was extremely embarrassed when he saw Shi Xuan, and basically lowered his head and passed by.
Because Zhou Dielan lives next to her, Yu Ruoshui often comes down to look for her, Shi Xuan has met them several times, and they are ordinary friends.
In the evening, a lush island appeared in front of the ship, and there was a jade tower on the island, which was a hundred feet high, deep into the clouds.
The monks cheered, because this island was the destination of this trip, the welcoming island of Penglai Island.
Shi Xuan and Zhou Dielan happened to meet on the way to the deck. Shi Xuan saw Zhou Dielan walking back and forth there, and asked curiously: "Miss Dielan, why don't you go to the deck, you have already arrived at Yingke Island." β
"Hello Brother Shi, I'll wait for Sister Yu here, she will come down immediately. Zhou Dielan replied politely.
"Uh, didn't Miss Yu go with a few relatives in her family?" Shi Xuan remembered that Yu Ruoshui didn't come alone.
Zhou Dielan said with a little embarrassment: "Sister Yu fell out with several of her cousins, so she asked me to wait for her here and go with her." β
As soon as the words fell, I saw a female monk in a fiery red dress coming down the third floor, it was Yu Ruoshui.
"Butterfly orchid, let's go. Well, Shi Daoyou is also here, why don't you be together?" Because there was a formation to suppress the sound between the floors, Yu Ruoshui didn't hear the two of them talking when he came down, and he was slightly surprised when he saw Shi Xuan.
The three of them quickly walked from the boat to the island, with hundreds of monks in front of them, a middle-aged man in a blue robe in front of them, and eight young monks in a unified black robe behind them.
Seeing that the people on the boat were almost down, the middle-aged man in the blue robe said to everyone: "Down here is Li Zhen, the deacon of the outer gate of the Penglai faction, please follow these outer disciples to the Jade Tower." The voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Following a few outer disciples, many monks walked slowly through the forest, and walked for a quarter of an hour before they came to the bottom of the jade tower.
This jade building is beautiful, brilliant, the first half looms between the white clouds, it looks like the immortal family is located, and the style is extraordinary.
Entering the jade building, I saw that the steps paved with white jade twisted and turned, spiraling upward, until the end that was invisible to the naked eye, the body of the building made of green jade hung down one after another, setting off the whole jade building like a fairyland. Between the swaying of light and shadow, they could vaguely see the jade smoke rising from the white jade steps, and everyone involuntarily took a deep breath, shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and even Shi Xuan, who had seen many modern special effects, was amazed.
"It's beautiful. Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan muttered to themselves.
Shi Xuan saw that someone was already walking up the steps, coughed, and woke up the two women beside him: "Two girls, thinking that coming to the top of the Jade Tower is our purpose, hurry up." β
Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan were slightly embarrassed and strode forward up the steps.
This jade building looked only a hundred zhang high, but Shi Xuan and the others walked on the steps, but they felt that it was far more than that, because they had already walked for half an hour, but this step seemed to be very long.
"Brother Shi, how long do you think it will take for us to arrive?" Zhou Dielan was already a little out of breath.
Shi Xuan was thinking at this time, could it be that the test would start now, and when he heard Zhou Dielan's question, he hurriedly encouraged her: "It shouldn't be far away, Miss Yu, you're right." β
Yu Ruoshui understood that Shi Xuan was comforting Zhou Dielan, after all, in terms of the effect of forging the body, the out-of-body stage monks had much more endurance than the Qi cultivation stage monks, and nodded in affirmation of Shi Xuan's words: "Shi Daoyou is right, it should be almost there." β
I don't know if my wish came true, but after a while, a jade gate with a clear light appeared in front of me.
