Chapter 189: The Grotto
There is a high mountain on the north side of the Sun Moon Valley, with cliffs on three sides, and only a small road to the south leads to the valley. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The environment of this mountain is treacherous, and the living are not allowed to enter, and over time it has become a place for the Hehuan Sect to punish its disciples. The Hehuan Sect has dug more than 100 grottoes on the east and west sides of the mountain, and the east side is facing the sun to detain the inner disciples, known as the "Tianzi Room"; All the grottoes are sorted from top to bottom, and the lower the number, the higher the position, and the more treacherous the environment.
The group arrived and stopped in front of a stone house. Elder Guo stepped forward, knocked lightly on the door, and said loudly, "Meet Elder Ma in Xia Guo Songhuai." ”
Everyone waited for a moment, and a slightly old voice came out: "Elder Guo, come in." ”
"Thank you, Elder Ma. Elder Guo replied respectfully, and then walked in with everyone.
The stone house is three feet long and two feet wide, and the interior of the house is simply furnished, with only one bed, a few tables and chairs. This old man sat cross-legged on the bed, he was doing qi luck exercises, and his body was vague and uncertain, and it was only when the gong deeds were forbidden that an old man in his seventies appeared. Zhao Xinming was shocked, this old man turned out to be the top master of the Waigang Fivefold!
The old man smiled faintly and said, "Elder Guo, please take a seat." ”
"Yes. Elder Guo agreed, hurriedly presented the Chinese book in hand, and said softly, "Elder Ma, please look at it." ”
Elder Ma looked through it, let out a light "huh", and said, "Injured more than 100 people and indirectly killed three people?"
"Exactly. Elder Guo hurriedly replied.
"The old man hasn't been down the mountain for a long time, I didn't expect such a talent to come out of the outer gate!" Elder Ma shook his head, swept over everyone at a glance, his eyes fell on Zhao Xinmin, and said in a deep voice: "You are Wu Cheng?"
"Yes, disciple to meet Elder Ma. Zhao Xinming didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly saluted.
Elder Ma looked at it and sneered: "Yes, the internal strength is abundant, condensed but not chaotic, no wonder it is so arrogant!"
Zhao Xinming's heart suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly said, "The disciple doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare?" Elder Ma snorted coldly, raised his hand in the Chinese book, and rebuked, "Could it be that the sect still blames you for not being able to?"
Zhao Xinming didn't dare to argue, so he had to say: "The disciple was confused for a while, and asked the elders to punish him." ”
Elder Ma's face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Wu Cheng, no matter what you are capable of, no matter what you do, no matter what you have done, you have to abide by the rules here when you get here, do you understand?"
"What the elders taught was that Wu Cheng kept it in mind. Zhao Xinming hurriedly said.
Elder Ma nodded, turned over a hand, and said, "Elder Guo, I'll trouble you to run away." ”
Elder Guo took it with both hands, and saw that the five words "Dizi Room No. 1" were written on the hand card, and he immediately frowned, and said, "Elder Ma, Wu Cheng's entry is still shallow, is it a bit too much?"
Elder Ma shook his head and said with a smile, "Elder Guo, you don't know anything. It's a punishment, but it's also a trial. This son's charm is introverted, hidden but not revealed, far from being comparable to ordinary disciples, even if it is an inner disciple, it is better than him, only the No. 1 room of the word can hone the ferocity of this son. As the saying goes, 'jade can't be cut without a weapon', although Elder Guo goes, the old man knows it. ”
Elder Guo immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Elder Ma is far-sighted and admires. ”
Elder Ma shook his head and said with a smile: "Elder Guo has won the award, all of them are disciples in the sect, just punish them with a small punishment and a big commandment!"
After speaking, Elder Ma glanced at Zhao Xinming again. Zhao Xinming's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head. The people left the stone house and continued along a mountain road in front of the stone house. This mountain road is the only way to enter and exit the back mountain, and Elder Ma personally sits here, and he also stops the disciples on the mountain from escaping. After walking a short distance, the mountain gradually rises and the evil qi becomes heavier and heavier. Walking near the mountainside, even the internal strength couldn't resist. Elder Guo glanced back, and several law enforcement disciples were already overwhelmed, but Zhao Xinming was still in good spirits, as if he was fine.
Elder Guo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Meng, Zhao Kun, a few of you stay here, and the old man will go back as soon as he goes." ”
"Yes, thank you, Elder Guo. Several people were relieved and hurriedly said.
Elder Guo sighed lightly and continued to walk forward with Zhao Xinming. Zhao Xinming looked all the way, the grotto was dug near the mountain road, one zhang long, half a zhang wide, one zhang high, there is only one stone platform in it, the platform is spread with some hay, and there is nothing else. Most of the grottoes have an outer disciple, who turns a blind eye to the people who come and concentrates on exercising his skills to resist the erosion of evil qi. As Elder Ma said, this is both a punishment and a grind. It's just that these disciples are shallow in cultivation, and whether they can get out alive is two words. After walking for another half hour, the two came to the vicinity of the mountain. Zhao Xinming looked up and saw a grotto dug on the edge of the cliff. This grotto is obviously larger than the other grottoes, and it is the "No. 1 house of the word land".
When the two came here, Elder Guo said in a deep voice: "Wu Cheng, the old man has a few words to explain to you, you can listen well." ”
"Elder Guo, please give orders. Zhao Xinming hurriedly said.
Elder Guo pointed to the grotto in front of him and said, "Wu Cheng, you will live there for the next three years, and you must not leave here without Elder Ma's permission." Meals are delivered every day at noon, one meal a day, and this has been the case for three years. If you have any requirements, you can also tell the person who delivers the meal, and all matters are up to Elder Ma to decide. Do you hear me?"
"I heard you clearly, disciple, thank you Elder Guo. Zhao Xinming nodded.
Elder Guo was silent for a moment, and then said again: "Wu Cheng, the old man has something to remind you of in the face of Senior Nephew Wang. Elder Ma is an elder of the inner gate, and he is even more famous in the sect. Since the elder was in charge of this place, more than a hundred disciples have died under his hands in the past ten years, but there are also a few disciples who have entered the eyes of the elders, and the extrajudicial Kaien has been released early. Wu Cheng, you are a smart person, what should be done and what should not be done, the old man will not say much. ”
Zhao Xinming's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Elder Guo's kindness, the disciple is grateful. ”
Elder Guo nodded and said again, "Wu Cheng, it's good that you understand, what else do you have to ask?"
Zhao Xinming was silent for a moment, the only thing he was worried about was Liu Yue, but unfortunately it was useless to say too much, so he shook his head and walked straight over. The grotto hangs beyond the cliff like an open-air platform. The mountain wind was howling and cold and biting, even Zhao Xinming's sixfold cultivation of internal strength was difficult to resist, and after just a stick of incense, his body was already numb. Zhao Xinming had no distractions, and urged the sunset meridian with all his might, and a warm current quickly flowed through his body. It's a pity that just after the warm current, the cold wind is coming, and the alternation of ice and fire is fleeting, and the cycle is miserable. At this time, heaven and man are fighting, testing not only skills, but also the quality of will, between life and death, Zhao Xinming unknowingly survived the first night! )
