Chapter 17: A Strange Place in the Woods

CHAPTER XVII

The wind gradually increased, the night began to darken, and the clouds were dense in the distance, and it seemed that a heavy rain could not be avoided tonight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But looking at his tattered thatched hut, he didn't think that he could sleep peacefully tonight, there was not much thatch left on the roof, and when the heavy rain came, he would definitely not be able to shelter from the wind and rain, so he could only go to the forest to find some dead grass and branches to cover some roofs.

There are too many trees in the forest, the grass and trees are lush, continuous, there is no end in sight, and the branches and leaves are dense, covering the sky and the sun, and the light in the forest is even more dim, and it is almost difficult to see the light.

In this way, it is really gloomy, but now that he is refining his qi, his ears and eyes are clear, although it is dark, he can still see a lot of places.

The road is not easy to walk, the ground is full of dead branches that have been broken, Wu Xinqiu picked up some stout, and took them back to fix the roof later, because the wind may be very strong later, if it is not reinforced, I am afraid that this crumbling log cabin will not be able to withstand a few tosses.

However, there are a lot of branches, but there are not a few dead grasses, if there is no dry grass, the wind and rain will be heavy tonight, and all of them may be blown into the house.

But along the way, there are very few withered grasses, most of them are withered grass and leaves, and these things scatter as soon as they blow, and they really can't tamp the roof.

Further down into the forest, there may be withered grass, but if not, then you can only use something casually.

Wait, as if someone was talking, Wu Xinqiu suddenly became cautious, stopped, leaned over, hid behind a tree, and listened carefully.

"Senior brother, you ...... You...... Now don't do that. Listening to a woman's voice, she wanted to refuse and retreat, and she was a little shy.

"Senior sister, don't you tell me to do anything, what do you say?, junior sister, haha" A man said with a laugh.

Wu Xinqiu stretched out his head and looked at it, but found that the other two were not far from him, and a man was holding a woman, and his face kept leaning towards the woman.

The woman couldn't refuse, and turned her head to the side, but her hand strength was still too small to push the man away at all, "Senior Brother Gao, let's start practicing the "Spring Ming Jue", it's getting dark, and there will be no time to practice when it rains later." ”

Gao Zhaohui said with a smile: "Congyu, what is it like to be in such a hurry, isn't there still a month left for the Zhaoling Conference?" We have time to practice hard, with your qualifications, are you afraid that you won't be able to get the top ten of our Autumn Peak?"

"Senior brother, I don't want to only take the top ten, I want to be in the top three, I want to ......," Guo Congyu said in a low voice.

Gao Zhaohui's face changed instantly, and he pushed Guo Congyu out of his arms, his brows furrowed, "What do you want to do?" Do you want to win the top three and win the championship in one fell swoop?

Guo Congyu was also a little scared when he saw him like this, and he didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm ...... I...... Senior Brother Gao...... Zhao Hui ...... Can you help me, I beg you, I really ...... I really don't want to go on like this forever, I've been refining the third layer of qi for five years, and this time Ziye Ridge, I really want to go. ”

"Hmph!" Gao Zhaohui snorted coldly, "It turns out that you want to go to Ziye Ridge, yes, how good it is to go to Ziye Ridge, you can get rid of me, isn't it, hahahaha, Guo Congyu, Guo Congyu, I Gao Zhaohui usually takes you a lot, I take the "Chunming Jue" for you to practice privately, and I have taken a lot of Supreme Treasure Pills for you, you can't see these benefits, but you have been thinking about leaving me and using me. ”

At this time, the wind had come, the sky was already cloudy, the forest was pitch black, the wind was blowing, the grass and trees were flying, and Wu Xinqiu was smashed several times.

"It's not what you think, Zhaohui, you misunderstood me, since I became your person, I have never had the heart to leave you, you must believe me. Guo Congyu said urgently.

Wu Xinqiu listened to it on the side, and guessed most of the entanglements between the two people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, people in cultivation really have their own helplessness, except for themselves, others also have their own difficulties.

"Hmph, Guo Congyu, you remember, everything you have today is given by me, don't think that you can be free without me, just think that you can get rid of me. ”

Guo Congyu was a little flustered, stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Gao Zhaohui, letting the other party's hand do whatever he wanted on him, his face was full of helplessness, and his eyes were slightly sparkling......

Wu Xinqiu was a little embarrassed to continue listening to this beautiful sound, turned to leave, let the sound disappear in the wind again, the sky was already dark, the wind around him was like a ghost crying wolf, and the raindrops were also dripping.

"Someone?" Gao Zhaohui suddenly stopped, looked around, drops of rain hit his face, the night and raindrops interfered with his vision, and he couldn't see anything, but he still felt that there was someone.

Guo Congyu hurriedly put on his clothes and hid behind Gao Zhaohui, his voice trembling: "Gao ...... Senior Brother Gao, ...... Where are the people?"

Gao Zhaohui closed his eyes, unfolded a divine sense, and searched the surrounding movements, it was a man, but the distance was a little too far, and his breath was too weak to figure out his specific information, "Hmph, it's just a rat crossing the street, don't worry too much, I forgive him for not being so bold to say it." ”

"But...... However, if he says it, we don't ......" Guo Congyu said hurriedly, she and Gao Zhaohui were in a private relationship, but they didn't put it on the face, and they didn't want the people in the door to know.

Gao Zhaohui hugged Guo Congyu and whispered softly in her ear: "Then kill him, the dead can't speak." ”

The sky, a wind and rain, the forest, a cloud and rain.

The rain hadn't fallen yet, but it was sparse, Wu Xinqiu hurriedly brought a large pile of wood and withered grass, fixed his cabin, and put the withered grass on the roof.

The room was dusty, the table and bed were in disrepair, the chair fell down with a slight touch, the wall leaked, a gust of wind blew, and the room was covered with dust in an instant, Wu Xinqiu shook his head.

Looking out through the gaps in the wall, there was chaos beyond the cliffs, dark clouds rolling, and the wind howled, like wild beasts roaring.

It's another sleepless night tonight, so forget it, let's meditate and breathe.

Before, because it was directly pushed into the Qi Refining Realm by Tang Qiyu, it was not cultivated by himself step by step, so he was still quite unfamiliar with the Qi Refining Realm, but now for the Qi Refining Realm, the only most intuitive feeling is that the Spirit Sea is much larger than before, and his eyesight is much better, not only can he see farther and see more clearly, but even in relatively dark conditions, his vision is not affected much.

You don't have to deliberately feel the aura of induction, you still need to meditate to feel the aura before, but now even if you move your hands, you can feel the presence of the aura as if you were nothing.

Now that I have shipped "Huangmen General Essentials" again, I was in a trance for a while, and I didn't understand some places before, I only need to try it with my heart, and it is easy to succeed, and I am also very proficient in the mystery in the previous book.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, the sun broke through the clouds and shot to the earth, a glimmer of bright light, through the gap in the wall, reflected on Wu Xinqiu's face, and the sound of birds chirping came from outside the house.

Wu Xinqiu opened his eyes and saw that it was dawn at this time, there was a gust of wind and rain during the operation, and the outside of the house was beaten by the wind and rain, and it was a mess, and the house was not much better, there was a layer of water on the ground, and there was a damp area around.

Last night, he had been meditating in bed and practicing "Huangmen General Essentials", and he had a lot of understanding of this book, and he had a little understanding of where his realm is now, as well as his strength control, and understood many of the principles and problems that he had not been able to understand before.

Jiang Gaoyuan said that he still had to go to the collection hall this morning, and the peak had to make some arrangements for himself, and it was better to go early as soon as he was a newcomer, lest someone deliberately pick on him.

The collection hall is on the top of the mountain, the mountain road is steep, and it is not easy to walk, but the forest and bamboo along the road are lush and bamboo, a fresh and peaceful, Wu Xinqiu feels relaxed and happy.

I didn't see any other disciples along the way, and the road was very quiet, except for the occasional song of insects and birds.

After walking for a while, the sun was completely in mid-air, and Wu Xinqiu finally walked to the collection hall.

Just look at the flat place on the peak, a three-story building, located in a very large place, the second floor outside a sign with the dragon flying and phoenix dancing written on the three big characters of the collection hall.

The entire collection hall looks simple and dignified, and compared with the previous personnel hall, it looks a little shabby.

After entering the door, Wu Xinqiu saw that the inside was extremely wide, full of classic books, and it was really a collection hall.

"Is it Senior Brother Wu?" a voice came.

Wu Xinqiu followed the voice and looked over, it was a man in white, only looking at his height and thinness, about nine feet or more, but his weight was indeed much lighter than himself. Wu Xinqiu arched his hand and replied: "Exactly." ”

I saw the other party walking over quickly, with a smile on his face, "In Xia Jinyang, Senior Brother Jiang has already told me about Senior Brother Wu yesterday, Senior Brother Wu is my new disciple of Qiulaifeng, but it was not early yesterday, so I didn't have time to report, I heard that I was arranged to sacrifice my life again, I really shouldn't be, I will change the place for Senior Brother later." ”

Wu Xinqiu actually doesn't care too much about the living conditions, now his heart is focused on cultivation, but everything else is just secondary, and Wu Xinqiu is not too resistant there, the scenery is unique, quiet and peaceful, it is suitable for his own practice.

"Don't bother Senior Brother Jin, I feel okay in the next self-sacrifice, the scenery is unique, quiet and quiet, which is suitable for my generation to practice. Besides, young people such as me can endure hardships when they can endure more hardships, which is just the right time to sharpen their own hearts. ”

Jin Yang's eyes lit up, and sure enough, Jiang Gaoyuan said to himself well, this son is open-minded, relaxed, not arrogant or impatient, and he is indeed a good seedling.

"It's rare for Senior Brother Wu to have such an insight, but Senior Brother has been taught. ”

"Senior Brother Jin has won the award. ”

Jin Yang made an invitation in his hand, "Senior brother, please here, senior brother and you will introduce me to the various details of my Qiulaifeng lineage." ”

Qiulai Peak has a history of thousands of years, it is the second oldest mountain peak among the four peaks, the disciples of the peak plus the peak master and others are a total of one hundred and twenty people, a total of three major veins, each with a heritage, but Wu Xinqiu first arrived, did not worship people as a teacher, and no one accepted him as an apprentice, so he is not a disciple in the three veins, at best he is just a scattered person, in fact, these three veins are just the three veins on the peak of the larger inheritance, of which the three veins of the disciples add up to almost 80 people, no one counts.

The disciples in the door practice on their own on weekdays, and there is no unified teaching and inheritance, which is different from the other three peaks, therefore, there are many people in the peak disciples who are good and bad, after all, the path of cultivation, although their own efforts are very important, but if there are predecessors who can guide one or two, practice is twice the result with half the effort.

This also led to the reluctance of many new disciples to come to Qiulai Peak, resulting in the end Qiulai Peak becoming the thinnest peak and the peak with the worst qualifications, so the general strength of Qiulai Peak disciples is three layers worse than the other three peaks.

Wu Xinqiu sighed, but he didn't expect there to be such a thing.

Jin Yang said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wu, don't think I'm joking, it's less than a month before the Zhaoling Conference, and when the time comes, the top three disciples will be tested in the sect, and when they compare with other peak disciples, they will immediately understand." ”

"Senior Brother Jin, what's going on with the Zhaoling Conference?" Wu Xinqiu asked curiously, he heard that the two of Lin Zhong were also discussing this yesterday, and it seemed to be a very important competition.

Jin Yang explained: "The Zhaoling Conference is a competition between low-level disciples in this sect, and it can be participated in between the two layers of Qi refining and the fifth layer of Qi refining, this competition is aimed at finding out the strength of the disciples, and there are a large number of rewards to motivate the disciples to practice, and the disciples of each peak compete with each other for rankings and compete with each other, which is also a grand occasion. Moreover, I heard that this time in the sect, in order to motivate me and other low-level disciples to work hard, the reward has been increased, and I heard that the top three disciples of each peak can go to ......"

"Jin Yang, this is the new Senior Brother Wu, right? ”

Wu Xinqiu was very familiar with this voice, turned his head, and found that it was not Gao Zhaohui in the forest last night, and saw him looking at himself with a very meaningful eye.

Wu Xinqiu felt a little uneasy in his heart.
