Chapter 3 Washing and Removing the Marrow
The young man, known as Lao Wu, waited for the drunken Taoist's vision, breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "It's over, I didn't expect the master to come back so quickly this time, during this time, I went to the mountains and rivers with the beautiful junior sisters, and the cultivation was deserted, and this is over." The senior brother scratched his head, looking distressed.
Xiao Wensheng took a closer look at this fifth senior brother, he was not tall, his body was thin, and his appearance was extremely ordinary, but his eyes were bright and spinning, and he knew at a glance that he was a shrewd person.
"Fifth Senior Brother, under Xiao Wensheng, you are polite. When he first arrived, the spirit monkey in the mountains knew that he had to have a good relationship with Xiao Wensheng waving his hand to say hello, and Xiao Wensheng naturally understood, so he made a gesture and said to the young man.
But I saw that the man waved his hand at Xiao Wensheng and said: "After entering our Tianji lineage, everyone will be a family, and we don't have so many rules here, you don't have to be so polite to me, my name is Hou Guang, and the senior brothers all call me a little monkey, I think you should be older than me, it's okay to call me a little monkey." ”
"The number of etiquette cannot be abolished, the senior brother started earlier than me, and the senior brother still has to be called. Xiao Wensheng said.
"Then it's up to you, I'll take you to find a place to live now, there are relatively few people in our vein, so you can enjoy the treatment of a single courtyard for each person, which is a treatment that you can't enjoy in other veins, after a while, you will rest first, and I will wash the dust for you with my senior brothers at night." ”
While talking, Hou Guang took Xiao Wensheng to see a few idle courtyards, all of which were uninhabited courtyards, Xiao Wensheng chose a courtyard near the back mountain as his place to live, Hou Guang saw that Xiao Wensheng had chosen a good place, said a word to come to pick him up at night and turned to leave.
Xiao Wensheng turned around and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard, the reason why he chose this courtyard was because of a wooden plaque at the entrance of the small courtyard, which was engraved with the words "Asking the Heart", the font was soft, like a woman's writing, these three words seemed to have a different kind of magic, which attracted Xiao Wensheng couldn't help but look at it and was fascinated.
After a long time, Xiao Wen woke up violently, his heart was full of doubts, and in his trance just now, he seemed to vaguely hear a woman's whispered words, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.
Shaking his head and ignoring these no more, Xiao Wensheng stepped into the courtyard and walked to the place where he was about to live for a long time.
Although the small courtyard is small, but the main hall in it, the east and west wings are complete, on the northwest corner of the courtyard, a big erection that Xiao Wensheng can't name is there, there is a person who hugs so thick, it has grown for some years at a glance, the whole tree cover is like an umbrella to cover most of the courtyard, the tree has small purple flowers, flowers like butterflies. Under the tree, a round bluestone table, several stone pier chairs are placed there, looking warm and cozy.
"Squeak", Xiao Wensheng pushed open the door of the main hall, the layout inside is also simple, a bed is placed on the west side, a bunk is placed in the middle, on the wall facing the door, a big 'Dao' word is vigorous and powerful, there is a shocking will emanating from it, in the center of the Dao word, a sharp sword is deeply submerged into the wall, only revealing a sword hilt outside.
"What a domineering and exposed way, a good sword, a good sword. Xiao Wensheng used three good words in a row to express his current mood.
Xiao Wensheng sat down cross-legged on top of the bunk, looked at the huge Dao characters in front of him, and muttered: "At that time, at this time, the Tao is endless, the sea of learning is endless, the Tao is endless, Xiao Wensheng, Xiao Wensheng, what is your Tao?" Xiao Wensheng's eyes were filled with a trace of confusion.
A trace of exhaustion welled up in his heart, and Xiao Wensheng forcibly stopped thinking about everything that didn't go well in the exam.
Slowly closing his eyes, at this time there was still some hours before it was dark, and there was nothing to do, Xiao Wensheng began to absorb the heaven and earth vitality mentioned by the master as if he had just arrived at the mountain gate, in fact, Xiao Wensheng still didn't know any cultivation methods, but he felt that when he calmed down and swallowed those heaven and earth vitality, the whole body would be very comfortable.
As wisps of heaven and earth vitality entered Xiao Wensheng's body, he only felt unusually comfortable, and slowly, Xiao Wensheng entered a strange state, which the monks called into meditation.
When night fell, Hou Guang's voice came from outside the hospital, but after shouting a few times, Xiao Wensheng did not answer, so he pushed open the door and walked in. The master is looking for a freak there, and he is not young and comes to cultivate immortals, so he will cultivate, and he has just come to a state of concentration after a few hours, and this strength has the appearance of a senior brother, and I think that the title of a senior brother cultivation madman will be given up in the future. Shaking his head, Hou Guang walked out, ready to come back tomorrow to have a look.
The next day, Hou Guang went to Xiao Wensheng's courtyard to see it once, but Xiao Wensheng hadn't woken up yet, so Hou Guang told the master about it, and after the drunken Taoist came to see it once, he was obviously happy, and told Hou Guang to tell the rest of Ziyang Peak not to disturb Xiao Wensheng, to come and see him once a day, and once he woke up, bring him to see me immediately.
People say that there is no time in the mountains, and Xiao Wensheng would definitely not have thought that such a long time would pass when he sat down.
When the first week passed, Xiao Wensheng's complexion began to slowly become ruddy, and the whole person seemed to be a few years younger.
After half a month passed, Xiao Wensheng's body began to have gray oil discharged from his body, and when the drunken Taoist came to see it, he was overjoyed and arranged for Hou Guang to stay here inch by inch, so as to prevent the spirit beasts in the mountains from coming to disturb.
When the third week passed, the gray oil secretion turned completely black, and began to emit bursts of strong foul odor, which was sent by the mountain wind to every corner of the Ziyang Peak, making everyone on the mountain miserable.
When the first month completely passed, Xiao Wensheng showed no signs of waking up at all, and the drunken Taoist came to see it once, and muttered in his mouth: "People with seven exquisite hearts are really demon-level, just a trace of the feeling of heaven and earth vitality can appear this kind of unconscious concentration, it seems that this time I really picked up a treasure." The drunken Taoist took a sip of wine, and his face was full of smiles.
"Master, what is the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart?" Hou Guang saw that the master was in a good mood today, so he interjected and asked.
"People's seven-trick exquisite heart is a hundred times smarter than your brain, you have been practicing hard for ten years, and others can surpass you in a year, why did you say that I took you up the mountain in the first place, your head is surprisingly stupid, and you are lazy and don't practice well, you have a hand. The drunken Taoist flicked Hou Guang's head and said depressedly.
"So it won't take a few more years for our Ziyang Peak to produce another great character?" This Hou Guang's face is definitely a must, and he unconsciously diverted the topic and asked.
"It depends on his creation, the genius is jealous, often the highly gifted people have to suffer more tribulations, and now the head of the sect is going to summon the disciples who have entered the sect this time to go to the main hall to see the ceremony, this kid is going to settle at this time, he really didn't let me worry about it just now, so he can only fool the past first. The drunken Taoist sounded like a reproachful tone, but the smile on his face told others that he was in a good mood right now.
Haotian Sect, the giant peak in the center.
This mountain peak has always been the place where Haotian Sect lives and cultivates, and it is also the external face of Haotian Sect, so the buildings here are very different from the rest of the veins, each building is like a sharp sword, thin and tall, implying a kind of domineering, especially the most central Haotian Hall, the whole body is made of a blue-gray rock, and the top of the building is in the shape of countless sharp thorns, straight into the sky.
At this moment, in the Haotian Palace, on the seat composed of countless swords, sat a majestic-looking person, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and a hint of domineering between his eyebrows and eyes. This person is the Sect Master of Haotian Sect Sword Thunder, the Sect Masters of Haotian Sect in the past generations have been named after swords, and this generation of Haotian Sect Sect Masters has killed countless demons with a Nine Nights Thunder Sword, and after taking over as the Sect Master, he changed his name to Sword Thunder.
There were two rows of seats on the upper and lower seats, and there were five people sitting on them, an old man, a middle-aged man, and a beautiful woman, and the drunken Taoist sat in the first position on the left hand side of the sect master.
In the center of the hall stood a group of people, both men and women, mostly young people, standing there respectfully and not daring to speak.
The Seven Peaks of Haotian, except for the main peak, which is the sect master's lineage, each of the other six peaks has a head to manage the affairs of the entire mountain peak, and similarly, each head also serves as the elder of the Haotian Sect.
At this time, an old man came in from the entrance of the main hall again, this old man was tall, with a Chinese face, the expression between his eyebrows and eyes showed a trace of arrogance, a gold-rimmed purple robe looked even more flamboyant, with more than a dozen young men and women behind him, and shouted loudly after coming in: "Sect Master, I'm late." ”
"It's okay, the Great Elder has arrived, and now that the first seat of the six veins has all arrived, our entry ceremony has officially begun. ”
The Sect Master of Haotian Sect smiled and said lightly.
"Since the founding of our Haotian Sect, after thousands of years, we have been pursuing the ultimate of swordsmanship, it can be said that the sword is our life, with this belief, the people of our sect have devoted themselves to cultivation, and they have always been able to produce many people, and steadily occupy the position of one of the three major sects in Zhongzhou. ”
After the sect master finished speaking, the young people below shouted in unison: "Follow the sect master's teachings, we will definitely concentrate on cultivation." ”
The sect master nodded, and then asked, "Can you find a disciple with better qualifications this time?"
At this time, an old man with a short stature and a long beard standing on the far left said: "Sect Master, I found a young man with a Yanyang body this time, and if he cultivates my Zongyang Sword, he will definitely be successful, although the rest of them do not have such talent as him, they are all highly qualified, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can also achieve relatively high achievements." The old man said, pointing to a young man who looked less than ten years old, but was very strong, and took a step forward.
"That's right, the Sixth Elder has gained a good harvest this time, Yanyang's body is a rare physique, as long as you are willing to work hard to cultivate, you will definitely be able to maximize the power of my Zongyang Sword, what about the rest of the elders?" the sect master continued to ask.
At this time, sitting in the first position on the right hand side of the Haotian Sect Master, the great elder who finally entered the main hall spoke: "I also gained something this time, but I didn't expect to be reported by the sixth brother, but on my side, on the contrary to the sixth one, what I found was a cold body, which belonged to the extreme yin physique, and had relatively rare ice spirit roots and wood spirit roots. ”
"That's also extremely good, cultivating the Great Elder is going to add another master to the lineage. ”
"Hehe, the disciples you are looking for are not bad, it depends on their respective efforts. Although the Great Elder said this, the joy on his face was clearly revealed.
"Elders, is there anyone else who will surprise me again?" After receiving two good disciples, the sect master was in a good mood and asked with a smile.
But the rest of the elders obviously didn't have such good luck, they just received some relatively good qualifications, like the two with outstanding talents just now, they could only rely on fate.
Seeing that no one was talking below, the sect master was about to speak, but he heard the drunken Taoist suddenly speak: "I just accepted a disciple, and I have a seven-trick exquisite heart. With that said, there was no more to follow.
"Oh, has the drunk junior brother also accepted apprentices this year, the seven tricks are exquisite, this is rare, no wonder even the drunk junior brother is tempted. Without waiting for the sect master to speak, the Great Elder spoke first, but there was a hint of unconcealed sarcasm in his tone.
"A person who has the Seven Tricks is a body that understands the Essence, and it can be said that the most rare physique of our cultivators, although it is not like other physiques that can speed up the cultivation speed, but it is easier to have an epiphany, in order to break through the barriers, and reach a higher realm, which is the most rare. ”
But when the Sect Master of Haotian Sect saw that the Drunken Daoist had come alone today, he couldn't help but wonder and said, "Why didn't Senior Brother Drunk bring your disciple?"
"My disciple has just entered a state of concentration, the vitality of heaven and earth has been cut and cleaned, and he has not woken up yet, so I have to come over to report the good news to the sect master first. ”
"I just started to enter the cultivation when I first came, and Senior Brother Drunk passed on my sect's mental method to his disciples before he held the entrance hall?" The donkey-faced old man sitting in the middle on the right side questioned unceremoniously with a questioning tone in his mouth.
"Do the four junior disciples really don't know or are they pretending to be confused? If I pass on the mental method to my disciples, I will still be able to enter this rare state of unconscious concentration by cultivating according to the mental method, and then the heaven and earth vitality will be drawn to the hair and marrow?" the drunken Taoist man replied, his words full of disdain for the four elders.
"Okay, what Senior Brother Drunk said is right, only unconscious entry will there be hair cutting and marrowing, and there is no one in ten thousand, Senior Brother Drunk has accepted a good apprentice this year, the most rare thing is that he is willing to work hard, Senior Brother Drunk must be trained well, and he will definitely become the pillar of our Haotian Sect in the future. ”
"Do you have anyone else to surprise me again?" Haotian Sect Master looked around, and after finding that everyone was silent, he then spoke: "I also accepted a disciple this year, I wanted to be the last lottery, but I didn't expect to be pressed by the drunk senior brother, I robbed a young man who was born with the body of King Kong with the group of bald donkeys in the land card of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, and the noses of the bald donkeys were almost crooked, haha, Tu Gang, say hello to your uncles." ”
At this time, a six- or seven-year-old child walked out from the left side of the sect master's seat, with big hands and feet, a big mouth and a big nose, eyes like copper bells, a bronze color, and no hair on the top of his head. ”
What a young man, they all know the vajra body of the Buddha Sect, even if they don't cultivate, they grow up naturally, and their bodies are as hard as an iron block, and they are even more powerful after cultivating.
"You also know that although my sect's swordsmanship is powerful, some domineering swordsmanship requires a strong body as a carrier to perform, so when I saw this young man, I moved my heart to accept apprentices. ”
"Congratulations to the Sect Master, for accepting such a good apprentice, Sect Master, what did we discuss before?" the Great Elder glanced at the drunken Daoist before speaking.
"We'll talk about that later. The Sect Master waved his hand and motioned for the Great Elder not to say any more.
"Hmph, if you want my Tianji Peak, even if you have the ability, what kind of ability is it to find the sect master. The drunken Taoist snorted and spoke.
"You...... Less than ten of you occupy the most spacious mountain range in our sect except for this main peak, and more than a hundred of us live in a place smaller than yours, you ......"
"I said, as long as you have the ability, just come, aren't you too many? We will drive us out of Tianji Peak, this peak and the spiritual cave above are yours, sect master, farewell, I have to go back to see my precious apprentice, there can be no mistakes." After saying that, he ignored the crowd and threw off his sleeves and left.
"Hmph, old stubborn nose, sect master, I'll go back first. After saying that, the Great Elder also left with the newly recruited disciples behind him.
The sect master looked at this scene with a smile, as if he was accustomed to it, and said, "Let's disperse, and teach the disciples after I go back." ”
