Chapter 10: Gourd

Haotian Sect, Yuheng Peak.

This mountain peak is located on the east side of Tianji Peak, the buildings on the mountain peak are numerous, pavilions and pavilions, the building has many eaves and corners, and the horns are many beast-shaped, although the building seems to be a little crowded, but it is much more magnificent than the building of Tianji Peak.

There is a hall on the top of Yuheng Peak that is much larger than the rest of the buildings, and there is an old man sitting on the upper seat of it, this old man is the first seat of this Yuheng Peak, the four elders of Haotian Sect, Qingli Zhenren, a Qingli sword, killed countless people of the Demon Dao, and Qingli Zhenren was short-tempered when he was young, and when he encountered the people of the Demon Dao, he often killed people without saying a word, and now hundreds of years have passed, but the temper of the Devil has not changed at all, just a little.

And at this moment, under the throne of Qingli Zhenren, there is a person standing respectfully, it is the handsome young man who was slapped a few times by Xiao Wensheng's senior brother Wuchen last time.

"Master, according to the latest information, the disciples of Tianji Peak are now very close to the spirit monkey group, and a few days ago, a senior brother saw that the new disciple of Tianji Peak followed a golden monkey to the realm of the spirit monkey group once, and stayed there for a day before coming out the next day. ”

Hearing this, the Qingli Zhenren who was sitting on the seat snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "The disciples of Tianji Peak are becoming more and more unproductive, and they are actually dealing with a group of beasts, I don't know how many people are staring at them Tianji Peak, and they still don't know how to check." You don't have to worry about this for the time being, forgive this disciple and it won't stir up much turmoil, you have to pay more attention to the fact that the eldest disciple of Tianji Peak is dustless. ”

"Yes, master. The disciple said respectfully.

Hao Tianzong, Tianji Peak

Xiao Wensheng's days were as usual, refining qi at night and practicing swords during the day, and his life was peaceful but fulfilling.

But what is different now is that every time before refining qi, Xiao Wensheng will drink some fifty-year-old monkey wine, and through refining qi, the aura in the monkey wine will be refined, and it will be completely refined into the body, which is used to strengthen the body and expand and strengthen the meridians, which is also the best use of monkey wine found after Xiao Wen's growth time experiment.

And the spirit monkey Xiaojin will also come to Xiao Wensheng's place to practice swords every morning as usual, learning Xiao Wensheng's swordsmanship and dancing in a good way, and the spirit monkey will also bring a golden spirit fruit to Xiao Wensheng from time to time, Xiao Wensheng is also unceremonious, just like a few bites of fruit.

Xiao Wensheng's life was comfortable, but he was too busy with the second senior brother Yuwen Mo, and the large amount of elixir and spirit fruit given by the Spirit Monkey Clan made him extremely excited, and he was busy in alchemy every day.

On this day, Xiao Wensheng thundered and said to Xiao Jin on the side after practicing the thunderous swordsmanship: "Xiao Jin, recently I have been studying the wine god urn that the master gave me, there is a spirit wine called blood spirit wine on it, and its solid effect is much stronger than that of fifty years of monkey wine, and the blood ginseng, purple leaf lingzhi, zhuguo, golden lotus, etc. can be found almost in the places with strong aura on the mountain peaks, and the kind of gourd that the master once said can be used to store spirit wine can also go to see if you have picked one, will you accompany me tomorrow?" ”

After listening to Xiao Wensheng, Xiao Jin scratched the hair on his head, and after thinking about it a few times, he squeaked twice excitedly and nodded.

This night, Xiao Wensheng took a second senior brother just refined the body pill before refining qi, this elixir is much stronger than the previous Peiyuan Dan, and the elixir used is also much precious, it has not been able to refine it before, but now with the supply of the spirit monkey clan, the required medicinal materials are fully prepared and refined for Xiao Wensheng.

The Tempered Body Pill was swallowed with fifty years of monkey wine, and it was estimated that even the disciples of the sect master would not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.

As the pill and monkey wine entered the body, the monkey wine turned into a clear stream, and the calcined body pill turned into a warm current, and began to circulate in the body along the meridians. Xiao Wensheng began to control these two streams of spiritual energy to flow in the body along the meridians in the body, slowly transforming and absorbing, at the same time, Xiao Wensheng also began to absorb the heaven and earth vitality from the outside world into the body through the pores of the whole body, and followed the spiritual veins for a week.

When the day was about to be brightened, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi absorbed into the body circulated in Xiao Wensheng's body for four or nine weeks, reaching a small consummation, turning into a true element, and entering the dantian.

Usually, every time after the cultivation of the true yuan into the dantian, the dantian would be slightly restless, it felt like the true yuan in the body was unwilling to be bound and wanted to break free, but this time the dantian was unusually quiet, without a trace of abnormality.

What's even more bizarre is that Xiao Wensheng is obviously in a state of closed eyes at the moment, but everything within three meters of his body can be seen clearly.

Xiao Wensheng knew that after such a long period of cultivation, he finally broke through the fourth layer of qi refining and entered the fifth layer, the level of qi concentration and divine appearance, the true element in his body began to stabilize, and the biggest difference between a cultivator and a martial artist in the secular realm, divine consciousness, began to appear.

Xiao Wensheng slowly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly said to himself in his heart: "Now, I am already a real cultivator, Xiao Wensheng, you didn't have the opportunity to show yourself in the former officialdom, and now in this world, you must let everyone know that Xiao Wensheng's name." ”

Xiao Wensheng glanced outside, and unintuitively felt that the sky had completely brightened, and today he had to go to Xiao Jin to find the elixir needed for the blood spirit wine, so he got up and put away the purple thunder sword and walked towards the woods behind the courtyard, but when he arrived, he found that Xiao Jin had already squatted on the tree and waited, and when he saw Xiao Wensheng coming, he squeaked twice in dissatisfaction, as if he was blaming Xiao Wensheng for why he came so late.

Xiao Wensheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "I just broke through the fourth layer of qi refining and entered the fifth layer of cultivation last night, and my strength has improved a lot, and now your speed is definitely not as fast as mine." ”

Hearing Xiao Wensheng's words, Xiao Jin pursed his lips with disdain, completely ignoring Xiao Wensheng's provocation, as if to say that I have never shown full strength before, and you really think you can win me.

Xiao Wensheng saw Xiao Jin's expression was very depressed, and his heart was despised by a monkey, if he didn't find the field, how would he mix it up in the future.

"That's it, there is a towering tree halfway up the east side of our Tianji Peak, you must also know, we are going there to find the purple-leaf Lingzhi that the second senior brother said has grown to five leaves, we will end there, let's compare, how about it? I lost, the Purple Thunder Sword played it for you once, you lost, a gourd of two hundred years of monkey wine, how about it?"

Xiao Jin was disdainful when he heard that Xiao Wensheng was still going to race with it, but when he heard that Xiao Wensheng promised to play with the sword this time, this is something that Xiao Jin has been looking forward to, of course, he immediately nodded excitedly and agreed.

"Alright, let's get started. After Xiao Wensheng finished speaking, his body had already leaped forward, his body was like a gust of wind, and he had reached a place dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Jin saw Xiao Wensheng say yes and left, completely ignored himself, squeaked angrily, jumped down, jumped directly to the branch nearly ten meters above the ground, and began to swing around in the forest, often more than ten meters away, tens of meters away, after a while, he overtook Xiao Wensheng's head and ran in front of Xiao Wensheng.

Xiao Wensheng saw that Xiao Jin surpassed him so quickly, and he couldn't help but think that Xiao Jin was a strange beast in the end, and this cultivation growth rate was even faster than his own.

And Xiao Wensheng didn't use the true yuan just now, just with the speed of **, now it seems that he is just relying on his body or is much worse than the agile spirit monkey, Xiao Jin has already been on a big branch dozens of meters in front of Xiao Wensheng, and he is about to disappear in front of him.

The corners of Xiao Wensheng's mouth showed a slight smile, Zhenyuan began to flow in his body, the wind was under his feet, and his speed instantly more than doubled, and because of his divine sense, he would not be in a hurry like before because he was too fast to control his body and foothold, at this moment, Xiao Wensheng had his hands behind his back, and his body had already appeared below Xiao Jin and was on par with Xiao Jin.

"Ou Roaring ......" galloping unscrupulously in this mountain, and having such a friend to accompany him, is really a pleasant thing, Xiao Wensheng couldn't help but roar.

"Squeak...... Squeak" Xiao Jin's series of cries were in response to Xiao Wensheng, and when he saw that Xiao Wensheng was about to surpass him, he accelerated again, and the whole figure turned into a golden light, heading down the mountain, and the branches that Xiao Jin used his strength to swing over, all shook violently, if you look closely, you can find that because of the excessive strength of the hand, two clear monkey paw prints were left on those branches.

Where a green shadow and a golden figure passed, countless birds were startled, and the entire mountain peak suddenly called all kinds of birds and beasts one after another, so lively.

After running wildly for half an hour, the towering giant tree halfway up the mountain was already far away.

"Xiao Jin, it's that giant tree, it's up to you or me. ”

"Squeak Squeak ......"

Xiao Jin also screamed, Xiao Wensheng didn't understand what it meant at all, but Xiao Wensheng could still feel Xiao Jin's excited expression.

Now that the end is in sight, Xiao Wensheng's luck is the true yuan of his whole body, and he no longer has any reservations, and he must let the master know that he has been losing to a monkey, and he must not be angry with the old man.

I saw Xiao Wensheng turn into a blue light, faster, and Xiao Jin spared no effort for the purple thunder sword that he had always wanted to play, on a thick trunk that was still a hundred meters away from the giant tree, his whole body circled around the trunk several times in the blink of an eye, and with a bang, it flew towards the giant tree like a cannonball!

The golden figure and the cyan figure stopped on the trunk of the tree and under the tree at about the same time.

"Haha, happy, Xiao Jin, how about we settle for a tie?" Xiao Wensheng said as he stabilized his breathing and calmed himself.

Xiao Wensheng looked at Xiao Jin, only to see that Xiao Jin couldn't see the slightest sense of exhaustion, and even his breathing was very steady, Xiao Wensheng knew that he had actually lost, and Xiao Jin also squeaked in protest, obviously very dissatisfied with this result.

"Okay, even if I lose, when I go back to Houshan to practice the sword, the Purple Thunder Sword will play a trick for you, now let's find out where the Purple Leaf Lingzhi is." ”

"Squeak. Kim squeaked excitedly, and then began to look around, looking for it.

Xiao Wensheng also began to look around this towering giant tree, it is strange to say, Xiao Wensheng, the thickest tree in this vicinity, can hug it alone, but this one, the thick one is a little weird, even if five or six people may not be able to hug it, the tree is straight, hundreds of meters high, and this giant tree can be seen from a long distance.

And the second senior brother said that the purple-leaved lingzhi he found before was growing in an unwilling position on the east side of the giant tree.

A man and a monkey started from the giant tree in this way, and searched carefully to the east little by little, looking for it carefully, and after searching for an hour, when Xiao Wensheng was about to look in a different direction, Xiao Jin's cry came not far away.

"Xiaojin, did you find it?" Xiao Wensheng's spirit was shocked, and he ran towards Xiao Jin, only to see that in front of Xiao Jin, the original dense shrub was forcibly picked up by Xiao Jin, and there was a strange stump inside, which was actually presented as a colorful glass, very good-looking, and on the stump, the purple-leaf Ganoderma lucidum that the second senior brother said had grown to five leaves grew on this stump, Xiao Wensheng counted carefully, there were six sesame leaves, and the six purple shiny sesame leaves looked full of aura, Xiao Wensheng took out a jade shovel from the storage ring, carefully shoveled the Lingzhi from the stump, and put it into the storage ring。 Going into the mountains with the second senior brother many times to collect medicine also allowed Xiao Wensheng to learn some methods of picking these heavenly treasures, some of which are the most taboo to touch directly with their hands, otherwise the aura will be lost in a very fast time and become useless.

After picking the purple Yeats, Xiao Wensheng got up and was about to beckon Xiao Jin to go to the next location, Xiao Jin pointed to the colorful glass-like thing and squeaked twice, signaling Xiao Wensheng to take this with him.

"Is this a good thing?" Xiao Wensheng asked Xiao Jin.

Of course, Xiao Jin couldn't directly tell Xiao Wensheng whether this was a good thing, but Xiao Jin's excited expression couldn't be wrong at all.

So, Xiao Wensheng began to lean down, and took a closer look at the stump, only to see that the stump was irregular and circular, with a diameter of about thirty centimeters, and the place where the purple leafy herbs grew before on the stump was a groove, as if it had grown like this, and there were roots rooted in the soil below, I don't know how deep.

"Since you think it's a good thing, let's dig him out, and I hope this root doesn't sink too deep. ”

So, Xiao Wensheng and Xiao Jin devoted themselves to the glorious cause of digging treasures, until it was almost dark, and a huge pit had been dug out by a man and a monkey, and the colorful glass-shaped stump had been completely dug out, and the coiled roots under it were still covered with soil, and the whole stump was half a person high.

After Xiao Wensheng put the stump into the storage ring, he said to Xiao Jin: "I hope this thing is of some use, and it won't be in vain that the two of us have been digging for so long." It's getting late today, so you can go home first, and we'll continue tomorrow. ”

Xiao Jin nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around and gestured with his hands for a while, looking a bit like swordsmanship.

"Hehe, you, I can't forget, don't worry, I'll play it for you when I go to the back mountain one day. ”

Hearing Xiao Wensheng's words, Xiao Jin relieved himself, grinned happily, and disappeared into the forest.

Xiao Wensheng also headed towards the top of the mountain, where the former calm was restored.

On the second day, Xiao Wensheng and Xiao Jin made an appointment to look for the gourd mentioned by the master, and Xiao Jin seemed to know where the gourd was, so he asked Xiao Jin to lead the way.

Xiao Jin nodded, took the lead and began to run there, Xiao Wensheng followed behind, now he has only taken monkey wine for more than ten days in a row, Xiao Wensheng has obviously felt that his body is much lighter, and shuttling between the mountains is not a problem at all, and Xiao Wensheng, who is a few meters high, can already jump up.

This time the journey is much farther than the last time to Xiaojin's ethnic group, and the middle peak Xiao Wensheng has to bypass from the bottom of the mountain, Haotian Seven Peaks In addition to the main peak, the other six peaks are secretly not as calm as they appear on the surface, and Tianji Peak is even more incompatible with the rest of the peaks, which Xiao Wensheng also knows, so the middle peak chose to bypass the valley below the mountain and avoid the people of the other peaks.

In fact, after bypassing Tianquan Peak, he came to the valley between Yuheng Peak, and there were indeed many thick vines and trees in this valley that were climbing up with thick trunks, growing wildly.

"Is this the place?" Xiao Wensheng asked Xiao Jin beside him.

Xiao Jin scratched his head, looked around, and couldn't remember clearly, he shouldn't have been here for a few days, and after watching for a while, he took Xiao Wensheng to the north.

After walking a long distance towards the north, a big mountain cliff appeared in front of him, and a thick earthy yellow gourd vine roots wrapped around the mountain stone cracks on the cliff climbed all over the cliff, the small golden eye is particularly easy to use, at a glance I saw that there was a dark yellow gourd hanging there quietly at the top of the cliff, swaying slightly with the mountain wind, and Xiao Wensheng could clearly see that this gourd would flicker every few breaths.

"This gourd is very unusual. Xiao Wensheng said to Xiao Jin.

And at this moment, the sound of branches and leaves turning sounded, which was extremely obvious in this quiet valley, Xiao Wensheng and Xiao Jinxiang looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw a figure following the gourd vine towards the gourd at the top of the cliff, and it seemed that the target was also this gourd.

"Brother Jin, it's up to you. ”

This cliff must be laborious for Xiao Wensheng to climb, but Xiao Jin is different, I saw it jump on the gourd vine all of a sudden, grab the vine trunk, and climb towards it with its hands and feet, how flexible and flexible it is.

This cliff hundreds of meters high is a matter of minutes for Xiao Jin, and soon overtook the figure to the edge of the gourd, and suddenly tore off the gourd vine connecting the gourd, holding it with one hand, and grabbing the gourd vine with the other hand and climbing downward.

And the figure didn't realize until this time that the gourd above his head had been snatched away by Xiao Jin.

"Damn monkey, give me back the gourd. There was anger in his voice.

But Xiao Jin didn't pay attention to it, and even turned around and made a grimace, and returned to the ground in a few clicks, came to Xiao Wensheng's side, handed the gourd to Xiao Wensheng, and put it in the storage ring.

And this person realized that there was still a person standing under the cliff, and it was the one he hated very much.

This disciple of Yu Hengfeng came down from the gourd vine, came to Xiao Wensheng and stood not far away, and said coldly: "Who do I think, it's really a narrow road, I haven't thanked your second senior brother for the slap last time, so I didn't dare to show my face in front of people for more than ten days, and I will let you taste it today, how about this taste." ”

Before the handsome young man finished speaking, he had already moved his steps towards Xiao Wensheng, raised his hand, and was about to slap Xiao Wensheng in the face.

Before Xiao Wensheng could make a move, Xiao Jin stopped doing it first, and with a squeak, it directly turned into a golden shadow and rushed towards the young man of Yuheng Peak, this young man did not expect that the speed of this spirit monkey would be so fast, and he was suddenly pounced on his head, scratching and scratching for a while, but in an instant, the young man's hair was torn in a mess, and there were several claw marks on his face, and he began to bleed outside.

The young man shook Xiao Jin away with both hands, reached out and touched his cheek, his hands were full of blood, and the young man's expression suddenly became explosive, and his face was hideous.

"I'm going to let you die here. ”

The blue gold sword appeared in an instant, and the shot was a sword talisman technique that could only be performed by practicing the fifth layer of qi.

I saw a golden sword rune turn into a golden ray and shoot towards Xiao Jin.

"Kim, be careful. ”

Xiao Wensheng held the Cold Star Sword in his hand, and the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique was unfolded, his body was like a flowing cloud, and the sword was like a swimming dragon, stabbing towards the young man's throat.

Xiao Jin saw that the young man was scratched by himself like that, he was squeaking and laughing, Xiao Wensheng yelled and he noticed that the sword talisman was flying towards him, and hurriedly flashed to the side, but he still couldn't completely dodge, and a small wound was cut on his right arm, and pale golden blood flowed out of the wound.

Xiao Jin was also angry, bared his teeth and roared, turning into a golden phantom and rushing towards the young man of Yuheng Peak.

And that young man is one against two but he is not left behind at all, although Xiao Wensheng is now also a fifth-level Qi refining cultivator, but after all, he has just reached it, and there is still a gap between him and this young man's strength.

But the young man of Yu Hengfeng was even more surprised, the last time he fought this person was obviously not his opponent, but now he was able to fight by himself without falling behind, but in terms of strength, Xiao Wensheng was not much inferior to himself, how did he do it?

I was thinking about it in my heart, but I didn't stop in my hand, the Golden Crow Sword Technique in the Haotian Sword Duel was used by this young man extremely skillfully, and it seemed that he had also worked hard.

Moreover, this young man insidiously released a sword talisman from time to time, which made Xiao Wensheng and Xiao Jin unable to guard against it.

"Poof"

Xiao Wensheng was caught off guard, and was grazed by a blue-scale sword talisman from the right side of his waist, this sword talisman turned back and exploded when it touched an object, but the right side of Xiao Wensheng's waist was already blurred with flesh and blood.

With a muffled snort, Xiao Wensheng retreated a few steps, covered the wound with his left hand on the ground with his sword, and looked at the young man vigilantly, his heart was extremely anxious.

Seeing that Xiao Wensheng was injured, Xiao Jin frantically rushed towards the young man of Yuheng Peak.

"Noisy brute, die. ”

swish

The lapis sword slashed towards Xiao Jin's body, but Xiao Jin didn't change his movements as if he didn't see it, and rushed straight towards the man.

"Kim, don't. ”

"Hmph, look for death. ”

Two voices came out at the same time, one full of anxiety and the other full of indifference.

Seeing that Xiao Jin was in distress, Xiao Wensheng couldn't take care of his wounds, and raised his sword to attack the person of Yuheng Peak again.

At this moment, the lapis gold sword had been slashed horizontally on Xiao Jin's chest, but the hardness of Xiao Jin's skin was completely beyond the man's expectations, and the sword felt like it was cut on the iron stone, only a little bit of flesh was cut, and it could no longer be cut.

"Squeak, squeak. Xiao Jin roared frantically, and his whole body had already pounced on the man's head, but he saw sharp nails popping out of Xiao Jin's ten fingers, and dozens of blood marks were scratched under the man's face.

"Ahh

A heart-rending roar came out of his mouth.

Xiao Jin jumped down from the man, still holding the man's left eyeball in his hand, threw it to the ground, and pulled the corner of Xiao Wensheng's clothes who came over with a sword and began to run into the distance.

He also made strange noises from his mouth while running.

With Xiao Jin's shout, I saw several tall monkeys suddenly burst out of the forest, rushing towards the man from Yuheng Peak.

The sound of flesh tearing and the screams of the spirit monkey began to blur more and more indistinctly, Xiao Wensheng followed Xiao Jin and shuttled through the forest quickly, the wound on Xiao Wensheng's waist continued to flow blood, as the blood loss increased, Xiao Wensheng began to feel a little dizzy, and the roar of the disciple who was blinded by Xiao Jin in one eye was getting closer and closer.

At this time, Xiao Jin, who was walking in front, walked through a dense bush and suddenly disappeared from behind.

Xiao Wensheng opened the bush, but found that there was a natural cave here, which was dark and deep, and he didn't know where it led.

Xiao Jin waved his hand at Xiao Wensheng and motioned for Xiao Wensheng to follow.

Outside, the roar of the person from Yuhengfeng could already be faintly heard.

Shook his head that was a little dizzy, tore off a piece of clothing to bandage the wound, and took out Gu Yuan Dan from the storage ring, his second senior brother had just refined a few Pei Yuan Dan of each of them, and it didn't matter if it was useful or not.

A man and a monkey walked in this dark cave for a long time, and gradually began to light up in front of them, and their eyes also opened up, but they came to a huge underground cave, the cave is very huge, 100 meters high, and the stone stalactites on the top of the cave show different colors, shining here in a colorful way, and there is a whirring sound in this cave, as if the sound of who is panting has been amplified many times.

Xiao Jin walked here with a cautious look, turned around and made a gesture towards Xiao Wensheng not to make too much movement, and tiptoed towards the front.

Xiao Wensheng also learned from Xiao Jin's appearance, and moved over little by little with light steps and Xiao Jin's steps.

After moving like this for a long time, the two of them finally moved to a stone bridge that looked like a single-plank bridge, and there was a huge crack in the stone wall not far away, which should be the exit.

However, the more careful you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

Xiao Wensheng stepped on a stone, but the stone had been loosened, and Xiao Wensheng stepped on the stone and slid directly under the stone bridge, and the sound of stones hitting the ground sounded, and Xiao Wensheng's body almost fell.

The moment the sound sounded, the whirring in the cave stopped abruptly.

"It's broken. Xiao Wensheng thought in his heart.

"Who is disturbing my sleep?" a rough and heavy voice sounded above Xiao Wensheng's head, followed by the sound of stones rubbing.

Xiao Wensheng looked up and saw a huge head poking down from the top of the cave.
