Chapter 26: The Wind Cave (Part 1)
Shi Xuan grabbed Yu Ruoshui, who was trembling with anger, and walked out of the good gong room with Zhou Dielan, whose eyes were red, amid the gloating eyes of many disciples.
It is the right of Deacon Ye Xiang'an to arrange any task for each disciple, as long as it does not violate the precepts of the sect, if the five major tasks cannot be assigned to a disciple in a row, then he will not be able to find fault on the surface, if he resists, he will be accused of going to the Zhanglu Hall, then wait to be punished, that Yong Xiangyong is said to be an unsympathetic and extremely strict person, just look at Meng Yu's ancestor who has a Jindan Sect Master, and only dare to play small means within the rules to deal with Shi Xuan, you know how strict the precepts of the sect are.
After telling this analysis to Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan, the two of them gradually calmed down, Yu Ruoshui stomped his feet and said, "Can't we resist if we are bullied like this?"
Shi Xuan smiled bitterly: "I think they will arrange it for us every other month." ”
"Do you want to cultivate in this way, why don't we tell Sister Ming and ask her to beg her master to come forward. Zhou Dielan pinned her hopes on Yu Linglong.
Because of Shi Xuan, in this month, Yu Ruoshui, Zhou Dielan and Ming Qingyue became familiar with each other, and soon became sisters, and because Ming Qingyue often helped her father preside over the Fang Market, although she was the youngest, she was the most mature, and she had a heroic temperament, which actually made Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan willing to call her sister.
"According to Senior Brother Shi, I'm afraid that even Uncle Yu can't come forward, after all, there is nothing wrong with the other party on the surface. After Yu Ruoshui calmed down, he still agreed with Shi Xuan's statement.
In fact, the three of them didn't know that with Yu Linglong's temper, if they begged her to come forward, the other party would definitely be scared to death. At least Meng Yuwei briefly gave up the idea of revenge against Shi Xuan after Ming Qingyue entered Yu Linglong's sect, because he shuddered and couldn't sleep at night at the thought of facing the terrifying scene when Yu Linglong was angry.
But soon he got the news that Ming Qingyue had been trained by Yu Linglong and needed to retreat for two to three years to regain control and polish the true qi of the waves. Hmph, two to three years is enough to kill that guy.
"Senior Sister Dielan, you go to guard the medicine field first, when Senior Sister Yu and I are on duty in the Yin Wind Cave, we will think about countermeasures, we can't sit still like this. "Shi Xuan persuaded Zhou Dielan to leave first, and if he delayed the task, there would be a punishment.
Zhou Dielan nodded sadly, took out a paper crane, and with a snort, it turned into a big white crane, but it could still be seen that it was made of paper, which was specially given to them by the sect considering that the monks in the Qi cultivation period could not fly with the sword, and the flying talisman paper was specially given to them, which could be used repeatedly.
Stepping on the back of the paper crane, Zhou Dielan slowly flew into the air, then waved goodbye to the two, and reluctantly left Jiaomu Peak.
Shi Xuan and Yu Ruoshui stopped talking, took out the green steel sword, and read the law. The green steel sword turned into a blue light, wrapped the two of them, and flew in the direction of the Yin Wind Cave.
Although the flight of the two of them could only support a few dozen miles, the Yin Wind Cave was not far away, it was just behind Tianshu Peak, and it was soon reached.
The two pressed the sword light and landed at the mouth of the Yin Wind Cave. This is a cave where there is a cold and strange wind blowing out all the year round, no one can tell where this cold and strange wind comes from, only know that it was suddenly generated thousands of years ago, and at first there were disciples who asked the elders to deal with this strange wind, but later found that this strange wind is good for refining the body, so it was retained.
However, refining the body is only for monks in the Qi Induction Period and above, and a disciple in the out-of-body period like Shi Xuan only dares to be on duty dozens of zhang away from the entrance of the cave, and does not dare to approach at all, otherwise he will be blown stiff alive or even blown to death.
The two of them cheered, quickly cleaned up their own things, handed over some things, left traces, and finally gave a jade plaque to the two of them, and explained: "We are mainly here to see which disciples who have gone in to refine their bodies have not come out in time, if they have not come out for more than three hours, we will use this jade plate to notify the elders on duty here." In addition, after dark, the hole is closed with a jade plaque, and it is opened again the next morning. ”
As soon as the explanation was finished, the two left without looking back, as if they were afraid of this place.
Shi Xuan and Yu Ruoshui smiled bitterly at each other, understanding that this was not a good errand, because just standing here for a while, there was a cold feeling, not to mention being on duty for a day.
Shi Xuan and the others will be on duty here for twenty days, of which there will be two days of rest, and these two days plus another few days will be guarded by other disciples who have received the task of good deeds.
There are actually very few disciples who come to the Yin Feng Cave, because there are dozens of inner disciples, each of them is still in a different stage, and only the stage of refining the body needs to come to the Yin Feng Cave, and it is not every day that they come here, and they only need to register a dozen or so every day.
After being relatively speechless for a while, Yu Ruoshui spoke: "I don't think Senior Brother Shi, you don't seem to feel angry? ”
"Where, I was also very angry at the time, but I quickly controlled my emotions, as for now, anger and hatred will not bring us any help, I will be angry again, no matter how angry I am, can I hurt Meng Yuwei or Ye Xiang'an in the air. Only when we are quiet and make rapid progress can we resist best. Shi Xuan explained to Yu Ruoshui the change in his mood.
"What I said is very true, but if we stay here, we won't delay our regular cultivation, but we won't have time to take on the task of good deeds, and if we can't accumulate good deeds, the pills and so on will not be enough, so how can we make rapid progress? I only have the bottle of Soul Condensing Pill issued by the sect now, one in the morning and one in the evening, and I can take it for five days. Yu Ruoshui said in distress.
Shi Xuan was thinking about a solution to the problem as he spoke, but when he heard Yu Ruoshui's words, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he thought of a temporary solution.
That is, what they want is not the same as what Meng Yu thought they wanted. In the eyes of Meng Yuwei's kind of person, he is most likely the kind of monk who needs more time to take on tasks so that he can accumulate more good deeds, exchange more pills, and cultivate more intensively, because they themselves are this kind of monks, but their family background is better, and they don't need to accumulate good deeds to have enough pills.
But in fact, he didn't need pills to improve his cultivation at all, all he needed was his own hard practice. Therefore, it is necessary to mislead Meng Yu into the previous idea.
Among the five major tasks, smelting materials, being a fire boy, but even the most basic cultivation time cannot be guaranteed, and he definitely does not want to take it; sect patrols, ten days a month, can only ensure the cultivation of morning and evening classes, and it is best not to accept them; guarding the Yin Wind Cave and guarding the medicine field seems to take a lot of time, but in fact, there are very few things to do every day, but they just can't move around, which just provides enough time for themselves to cultivate.
After thinking about the idea thoroughly, and was about to say to Yu Ruoshui, Yu Ruoshui preemptively asked: "Senior Brother Shi, you have a good face and a smile, but you have thought of a way?"
"Exactly, but there is one more thing to plead with Senior Sister Yu before that. Shi Xuan said sincerely.
"What's the matter?" Yu Ruoshui said suspiciously.
Casting a spell to prevent others from eavesdropping, Shi Xuan said categorically: "That is to temporarily alienate me." ”
"No, I, Yu Ruoshui, am not this kind of person!" Yu Ruoshui's cheeks flushed with anger.
Shi Xuan gestured to Yu Ruoshui to calm down: "Senior Sister Yu, please listen to me, it's just temporary, just for show, Meng Yuwei is mainly aimed at me, you are just incidental, as long as you alienate me, he will definitely not be attacking you, because this is a good example, look, it is bad luck to be close to Shi Xuan, and it is better to be alienated from Shi Xuan." ”
After a pause, Shi Xuan continued: "Moreover, let you fall into this situation, how can I bear it, implicating friends will only make my mood worse, please Senior Sister Yu, you should help me, and persuade Senior Sister Dielan like this." And if you alienate me, you can get some news that will remind me and help me, which is better than being isolated by three people together. ”
Shi Xuan's reasoning made Yu Ruoshui's face soften, she sighed and said: "That's right, but from now on, in the eyes of others, I, Yu Ruoshui, am a villain who tends to be inflammatory, forgets his righteousness, and betrays his friends, forget it, for the sake of you, a friend, I will suffer these misunderstandings." But, Senior Brother Shi, how did you get out by yourself?"
"Then I also ask Senior Sister Yu to whisper some of my complaints to some female monks you know well. Shi Xuan didn't plan to tell Yu Ruoshui what she thought specifically, because she was not a person who was good at lying, and if she was just estranged, it would be fine, because there would definitely be few opportunities to meet in the future, but if she helped her lie, she might not be able to do well, especially in front of those monks she knew well.
"Oh?" Yu Ruoshui frowned suspiciously.
"Let's just say I'm complaining, the Wind Cave is not a place for people. ”
"Let's just say that I secretly prayed that I would no longer be assigned to guard the Yin Wind Cave and take care of the medicine field. ”
"Let's just say that I occasionally mutter, if I am sent to the task of smelting materials and being a fire boy, it is actually more cost-effective than other tasks, at least I can exchange metals, pills, materials, magic weapons, etc. for good deeds, and it will not delay the consumption of pills and the progress of cultivation. ”
............
After telling Yu Ruoshui what she had thought of misleading Meng Yu to taste them, she only frowned violently, and finally under the comfort of Shi Xuan's "mountain people have their own clever plans", she was skeptical and reluctantly accepted.
After arranging the countermeasures, Shi Xuan was also grateful for the righteousness of Yu Ruoshui and the two friends, so he shared some of his experience in practice with Yu Ruoshui, and Yu Ruoshui nodded frequently and benefited a lot.
As for the truths that Ming Qingyue told herself, involving her own misleading plan, she could only wait for Yu Ruoshui to spread her complaints and have an effect, and then talk to her.
It's just that the two of them feel colder and colder.
