Chapter 32: Xue Zhi
After the registration, Ximen Chu used the sword technique to bring Sikong Nian to a mountain peak called Jianfeng, which is the living residence of all the disciples in the inner valley, and the houses on it are all row by row, built around the mountain according to the mountain situation, densely packed, I don't know how many, from a distance, it looks like a giant dragon entrenched on the mountain peak, it is that both men and women have a room that is not big or small, and it is just right for one person to live.

Ximen Chu led Sikong Nian to look for a long time on the mountain peak, and after two hours, he finally found a very satisfactory idle small house on the mountainside, the location is very good, out of the door you can see the distant landscape scenery, from the foot of the mountain, the top of the mountain is not far away, the most important thing is that the terrain is very flat and open, there are no mountains and rocks and trees within a radius of five zhang, and after five zhang is the woods, if there is danger, it is very easy to deal with.
"From today on, you are living and cultivating here, by the way, the living materials you need here must be earned by yourself, the inner valley will not provide them for free, earn points by completing the tasks in the reward hall at the top of the mountain, and use the points to exchange for daily necessities in the canteen and shop at the bottom of the mountain, where you can buy many useful things, and even practice exercises, The cheats can also be bought, the three-style martial arts and ethereal sword techniques you learned in the outer valley are just extremely miniature versions of the four great masteries of the Ethereal Palace, and the power is the difference between heaven and earth compared to the real four great masters, and it is already a big road here, everyone will, there is no advantage, so you have to do your best to earn points in exchange for more advanced exercises, Cheats, but there is a principle that must be remembered, the core exercises of the Ethereal Palace are ethereal immortal techniques, which cannot be changed, don't be bewitched by those shop owners and transfer to other core exercises, if so, you will be disqualified from the selection of registered disciples, as for the ordinary exercises, they are not required, and you can practice casually. ”
Sikong Nian nodded, and firmly remembered what Ximen Chu said, although he was still young, but he was familiar with a few stubborn brothers who played tricks on weekdays, and naturally learned some ingenious thoughts, at this time, seeing that Ximen Chu said so solemnly, although he didn't fully understand, he knew that it was very important, so he naturally wrote it down with all his might.
"On top of this sword, anyone is a competitor, don't trust others easily, even if you are in trouble, you must know how to forbear, you are still young, you don't have much ability to change anything, saving your life first is the first, you must know that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!"
"Also, when you go to the bounty hall on the top of the mountain to pick up the task, don't be greedy, don't be greedy for convenience, start with the task within your ability, don't easily agree to other people's team requests, I don't know how many people in this inner valley lost their lives because of the betrayal of the team members. When you exchange for exercises and cheats, you will go to Yanwu Peak to practice, where the aura of heaven and earth is strong, and cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
After speaking, Ximen Chu handed Sikong Nian a three-inch green jade, only to see that it was engraved with a sea of clouds, which should symbolize the Ethereal Palace, and it was very heavy to start, and there was a cool feeling gushing out of it and instantly flowing all over the body.
"This is the soul jade plate, you drop a drop of blood on it to record your soul mark, this jade plate is your identity symbol from now on, you must be careful to keep, never lose, if you encounter any danger, you can't escape, you just need to crush it to save your life, remember to remember!"
Then he handed Sikong Nian a white card, I don't know the material, I saw a hundred numbers displayed in the middle, Sikong Nian didn't know what it meant, looked at Ximen Chu, Ximen Chu continued: "This is a point card, what is shown on it is your existing points, you can understand that the money of the outside world is, every disciple who enters the inner valley will have the most primitive points, but only once, you have to plan how to use it." ”
After speaking, he repeatedly told Sikong Nian: " Although you have cultivated to the first layer of cultivation in the human realm, but it has been cultivated for two hundred years by He Jin, and you have not completely digested it for your own use, you must not be complacent, and you have to practice hard, as long as you can digest the three layers, you can protect yourself in this inner valley, you have not yet learned the art of the sword, you can't fly the sword, you can only teleport to other peaks through the teleportation circle at the foot of the mountain, I am in Tongming Peak, if there is anything to find me, I will also come to see you every other month. ”
After speaking, he patted Sikong Nian's head, and then untied his magic weapon Qingling Shield from his waist, and when he threw it in the air, it instantly enlarged into a shield the size of three zhang and floated under his feet.
Ximen Chu stepped onto the shield and said again, that is, he used the art of the sword and left.
Sikong Nian looked at the direction of Ximen Chu's departure, his eyes were confused, in the past, there were several brothers of He Yongyuan on top, and he didn't have to worry about everything, but he was left alone at this time, but he felt very lonely, seeing that it was getting late, and he was not very hungry in his stomach, so he simply went back to his room to rest, and started a new life tomorrow.
Thinking like this, he turned around and went back to the room, locked the door, looked around, and looked at the layout of the house very satisfied, that Ximen Chu was very thoughtful, all kinds of daily necessities were available, the bed quilt was new, and there was a small wardrobe next to the bed, although it was a little old, but it was already very satisfactory for Sikong Nian.
"I'm going to start a new life tomorrow, I must cultivate hard and strive for more resources to prepare for the arrival of my eldest brother and second brother. ”
Thinking like this, I fell into bed and gradually fell asleep.
However, what he didn't see was that just after he closed the door, a person came out of the woods five zhang away, it was the thin middle-aged man behind him when he met Shen Tulong today, Sun Ping.
"Hehe, I really chose a good location, it is inconvenient to act here, so let's wait a little longer, well, it's better to wait for this little ghost to make a move on the way, so let him live a few more days!"
After all, he disappeared into the woods.
The next day, Sikong Nian woke up, his stomach was already very hungry, took a wooden basin towel to the mountain spring not far outside the house to fill it with water, and then washed in front of the house, locked the door after washing, and followed the figures to the foot of the mountain.
After a short time, I arrived at the foot of the mountain, only to see an incomparably wide bluestone square appear in front of me, in which all kinds of shops are dazzling, almost make people think that they have entered the market, there are many people inside, lively and extraordinary, and there is no such scene in the outer valley.
"Hot buns--black snake meat stuffing, eat a bite and raise a cut of cultivation--just out of the pot black snake meat stuffed buns-"
Sikong Nian stood in front of a steamed bun shop, inhaled the fragrance fiercely, and looked demented, the shop owner saw someone standing in front of the store, and hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "This young man, do you want to eat steamed buns, the steamed buns in this store are filled with black snake meat, the taste is smooth and delicious, do you want one?"
Sikong Nian was moved by what he said, swallowed his saliva, and asked in a low voice: "How can this be sold?"
The owner of the bun shop smiled flatteringly and said: "Cheap and cheap, only ten points one, Tong Su is not bullied, this store is an old store that has been famous for decades in this inner valley, and many immortals come to the inner valley and come to taste it." ”
Sikong Nian was stunned: "Ten points, so expensive!"
The owner of the bun shop suddenly changed his face, and said in his heart: "It turned out to be a poor ghost!" and immediately lost interest in him.
"Ten points is already very cheap, don't eat if you're poor, if you love to buy it, you don't want to think about whether the black snake is so easy to kill!"
After speaking, he ignored Sikong Nian, patted the dust on his body, and began to shout again.
Sikong Nian glanced at the fragrant buns, swallowed his saliva again, but was very reluctant, and said in his heart: "It turns out that my 100 points are only enough to buy ten buns, if I finish eating, I will starve, so I better not buy it." ”
Thinking like this, I reluctantly moved away and looked for a cheaper store.
The whole square turned around, it took almost an hour, it can be seen how big this square is, those dazzling shops are countless, the square is divided into countless streets, a circle, Sikong Nian gradually found the law, the closer to the center, the more advanced the shops opened, and the periphery is some shops that are basically needed for life, and the shops that Ximen Chu said can buy cultivation exercises and cheats are all in the center.
It didn't take long for Sikong Nian to hold two white steamed buns, out of the square, bite by bite, and seemed to be very satisfied, because this steamed bun was received for free, according to the publicity measures made by a newly opened steamed bun shop, the new disciples of the inner valley can come here to receive two steamed buns for free ten days ago, and they can eat free breakfast ten days before Sikong Nian.
After eating, it is to follow the mountain road, all the way to the top, there is only one building to see, that is, the reward hall that Ximen Chu said, it is said that the reward tasks inside are issued by a person named Xue Zhi, and the entire reward hall is a separate institution, not subject to any deacons in the inner valley to interfere, and many deacons in the inner valley are also very jealous of this Xue Zhi, no one dares to raise their brows for hundreds of years, and even the lawless Shen Tu Long is silent to him, which is a very intriguing phenomenon in the inner valley.
Sikong Nian walked into the bounty hall with the idea of taking a casual look, only to see that it was already overcrowded, and at a glance it was full of rushing figures, but I was afraid that there were no less than thousands, all of them were about nine or ten years old, and a four-year-old child like Sikong Nian was rare, at least Sikong Nian had not seen a figure of the same age as him.
Scrolls hung on the four walls, filled with small characters that needed to be squeezed up to see clearly.
Sikong Nian looked at the crowd of people who were crowded together and felt helpless, they definitely couldn't squeeze in, and there were only a lot fewer people watching on a platform in the center, so he rubbed there little by little.
After a stick of incense, after a lot of hard work, Sikong Nian finally squeezed to the platform, only to see that there were also a few scrolls hanging on the platform, but the words written on it were very conspicuous, and he didn't want to write the small characters on the four walls at all, but very brief.
"Mission: Explore the Phantom Moon Cave, Bounty: 10,000, Method: You can form a team, you can be solo, complete the task: as long as you draw a map of the Phantom Moon Cave, time: unlimited. ”
"Task: Capture the lightning eagle juveniles, bounty: 10,000, method: can be teamed up, can be single, complete the task: capture the live lightning eagle juveniles, time: unlimited. ”
"Mission: Clear the Fire Cloud Scorpion Poison Beast, Bounty: 10,000, Method: Can be teamed up, can be solo, Complete the task: Kill all the Fire Cloud Scorpion Poison Beasts on the Fire Cloud Mountain Peak, Time: Unlimited. ”
"Mission: Raise Unicorns, Bounty: 10,000, Method: Solo, Complete Mission: Raise Unicorns until you leave the valley. ”
"Mission: Qingfeng Sword Recognition Lord, Bounty: 10000, Method: Single, Complete Task: Qingfeng Sword Recognizes Lord, Special Note: Each person only has one chance. ”
After reading these six tasks, Sikong Nian felt itchy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to take them all, then he would get rich all of a sudden, but he also knew that it was impossible, with his current strength, he was afraid that he would just look for death.
Sighing slightly, Sikong Nian was about to turn around, but he saw that this scroll was still hanging on top of these five scrolls, and the task content only had two words written - slaying the dragon.
"Slay the dragon?" Sikong Nian muttered in a low voice: "Is there really a divine dragon in this world? Why slay the dragon?"
Looking down again, I saw that the bounty line said "1000000", and Sikong Nian's heart couldn't help but "plop" for a while.
After a long time, Sikong Nian turned around and said in his heart: "These have nothing to do with me. ”
I was thinking about turning around and leaving the platform and going to look elsewhere, but I saw a table on the side of the platform that was very inconspicuous, and there was a person lying on it, as if he was asleep, and he was holding a wine jar in his hand, and there was a dripping wine in it, and he smelled a pungent smell of wine from a distance, and there was a three-foot long sword with a cyan scabbard on the table, which was only placed at random, and it looked like he was not afraid of being stolen by anyone.
Sikong Nian didn't know who the man was, and he didn't want to know, he just thought that he was probably an unserious drunkard, and his eyes were full of disdain, and then he turned around and walked towards the wall on the left.
However, what he didn't know was that just after he turned around and took a step with his feet raised, the three-foot long sword on the table actually moved by itself, and only one move woke up the person on the table.
"At the age of four, there is a layer of cultivation in the ethereal immortal technique, this is the little ghost who He Jin's old man sacrificed his life to save him, and he can actually trigger the Qingfeng Sword, presumably it should be a natural wind spirit physique. Speaking of this, the man burped and laughed at himself: "This little ghost really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, thinking that my Xue Zhi is famous in the Ethereal Palace, but I can't imagine being despised by a little ghost, hehe, it's really unpleasant to be retribution in the cycle of heavenly principles!"
