The tenth disciple?

Chen Zhi looked up in amazement, his eyes slightly puzzled.

As if seeing Chen Zhi's thoughts, Qiu Wanshan said indifferently: "Do you think my cave mansion is too deserted?"

"Indeed, as an elder of Jindan, although the master has treasures such as dust beads that can clean up the dust of the cave, he always needs someone to serve him, right? And didn't the master say that after being accepted as a formal disciple, he can cultivate in the master's cave, but I don't see several other senior brothers......" Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"I like to be quiet, and the people I serve are the ones I specially asked for and didn't need, as for your senior brothers. Qiu Wanshan said this, shook his head, and said indifferently: "Those guys who can't make it, penance for a hundred years is still hopeless, this time the sect is in trouble, the teacher sent them all out, penance is useless, it is better to go through some actual combat, maybe you can get away with the breakthrough, but your senior brother is staying here, but he is currently in retreat, so he did not come out to meet." ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Wanshan squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at Chen Zhidao, and said, "But you feel a little ruthless to do this for the teacher?"

"The apprentice doesn't dare!" Chen Zhi lowered his head and said respectfully: "As the apprentice said at the beginning, cultivating immortals is to change his life against the sky, and the apprentice's achievements today are the harvest of struggling on the line of life and death, so I also very much agree with this." ”

"I forgot, you were able to build a foundation with the qualification of a yellow-level spiritual root, and it was extremely difficult to think about it, tell me about your experience in building the foundation for three years. Qiu Wanshan looked at Chen Zhi, a strange color suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.

"Yes. ”

Chen Zhi felt a pang in his heart, and slowly began to narrate the situation in the past three years, which was not much different from what he described to Yan Tianwen, but he deliberately added some things that conflicted with other sects, when Chen Zhi finished speaking, Qiu Wanshan couldn't help but fall into contemplation, for a long time, he shook his head and smiled: "Enter the world, hone your state of mind, and strengthen your Dao heart, I didn't expect you to be able to put down your body and do such things......"

"The disciple also thought of it because of the failure of taking Zhuji Dan, although the immortals are different, but the disciple once heard a sentence - 'the world has the same end but different paths, the same and a hundred worries', so the disciple thought, since the avenue is connected, why not go to the world to see, in the past three years, the disciple has incarnated as a wandering doctor, witnessing the birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows of the world...... He even witnessed a war with nearly 10,000 casualties, corpses everywhere, people displaced, people cannibalism, child trafficking, the misery of refugees and the singing and dancing of the worldly magnates are only separated by a wall......" Chen Zhi said slowly, and then talked eloquently, at first, Qiu Wanshan didn't say anything, but listening to it, his face kept changing, and when he looked at Chen Zhi again, his eyes changed slightly.

After a long time, after Chen Zhi finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Qiu Wanshan, the reason why he said this, on the one hand, was to dispel Qiu Wanshan's doubts, after all, in extraordinary times, he disappeared for three years, which would inevitably cause suspicion;

"These are all foolish opinions of disciples, and I hope that the master will give me some advice. After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he asked respectfully.

Qiu Wanshan didn't say anything for a long time, just closed his eyes, and after a full stick of incense, he opened his eyes again, and then looked at Chen Zhi's gaze, he was much kinder, and waved his hand: "You go down first, turn left in the right aisle for a hundred meters, and it will be the new cave house arranged for you by the teacher." ”

"Yes. Although Chen Zhi was puzzled, he still arched his hand, bowed, and then walked into the aisle on the side.

Not long after Chen Zhi left, Qiu Wanshan suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

This question seemed extremely abrupt, but soon, the rock wall of a palace on the right suddenly disappeared, and a cold-faced man in a black robe walked out of it, and as soon as he came out, the cold-faced man bowed to Qiu Wanshan with an expressionless face, and said indifferently: " The apprentice felt that the little junior brother should have no problem, but his cultivation progress was a bit legendary, and in ten years, from a qi refining disciple to the foundation building, even the apprentice couldn't help but be a little jealous, not to mention others, but just now the little junior brother's words were thought-provoking, and I also felt deeply, presumably it was not an accident or a fluke that he was able to achieve today's achievements. ”

When this person spoke, his voice was cold and flat, and it seemed that he was very similar to Qiu Wanshan's usual appearance, this person was Qiu Wanshan's eldest disciple, He Zinc, among Qiu Wanshan's ten disciples, his favorite was this disciple, and this disciple was very similar to him in terms of demeanor, surname, and tone, and he was also the most likely of the ten disciples to impact the Jindan, and was regarded by him as the heir of the mantle.

Qiu Wanshan nodded when he heard this and said: "Your evaluation of him is quite high, but it has been an extraordinary period recently, and the investigation still has to be investigated, Yan Xiaozi may care too much about me, and he did not investigate Chen Zhi's life history according to the due process of the core disciples, you take my token, go to him, and tell him that everything will be done according to the procedure." ”

"Obey!" He Zinc arched his hand, turned around and flew out of the cave.

Chen Zhi didn't know that there was still this stubble, but even if he knew, he wouldn't mind too much, after all, the life experience of "Chen Zhi" in this world, he had already learned from the original memory of the Soul Devouring Heavenly Book, that he was just a child of an ordinary family, and he himself came through time, even if he clearly told Qiu Wanshan, I am afraid that the other party would still treat him as a joke.

At this time, he came to the cave house arranged for him by Elder Qiu, this cave living room, bedroom, and cultivation secret room are all available, but the furnishings are extremely simple, stone tables, stone chairs, and stone beds are bathrooms, and mountain spring water is introduced, but Chen Zhi does not have much demand for these, plus the spiritual power here is strong, it is enough to satisfy him, close the quiet room, Chen Zhi then sat down cross-legged on the futon in the cultivation quiet room.

When he came here, he naturally didn't dare to use the black mist space in the Soul Devouring Heavenly Book indiscriminately, after all, it was right under Qiu Wanshan's nose, even if Qiu Wanshan had become his master, he would never dare to tell Qiu Wanshan about his future treasures such as the Soul Devouring Heavenly Book.

However, when it comes to the Soul Eater Heavenly Book, Chen Zhi is a little puzzled, you must know that the "Soul Eater Heavenly Book" is divided into ten pages in total, and if it is not opened overnight, it will have a magical ability, the soul devouring on the first page, and the black fog space on the second page, so after the advanced foundation, he is extremely looking forward to the third page, but this third page has never been opened.

After some research, Chen Zhi guessed that it seemed to be caused by the lack of soul energy on the third page, but logically speaking, there should not be such a situation, after all, after opening the second page of the Soul Devouring Heavenly Book, a large number of souls were absorbed, even if the soul power required to absorb the third page far exceeded that of the second page, it should not be more than ten or twenty times.

Could it be that it is not quantitative, but qualitative?

Chen Zhi's face had a touch of abruptness, before the second page was opened, he had absorbed the soul of a foundation building monk, and after the second page was opened, he had always absorbed the soul of the contemplation disciples, and even many souls were simply just for the black mist space, specifically going to the ancient battlefield to absorb some unjust souls and ghosts, so it seems that if he wants to open the third page, I am afraid he will need to kill some more foundation building monks.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi put aside the matter of the Soul Devouring Heavenly Book and began to cultivate, he has now been promoted to build a foundation, and the Corpse Demon Hall is ready to move, there is no need to worry about the soul matter.

A week later, Chen Zhi received another summons from Qiu Wanshan, although he had some doubts, he still came to the hall honestly, this time, there was not only Qiu Wanshan alone in the hall, but also a cold-faced man in black stood up in front of Qiu Wanshan with an expressionless face.

As soon as Chen Zhi entered the hall, Qiu Wanshan said, "Chen Zhi, this is your senior brother, He Zinc. ”

Chen Zhi glanced at the cold-faced man, muttered in his heart, and still saluted honestly: "I've seen Senior Brother He." ”

The cold-faced man nodded, but glanced at Chen Zhi with a little worry, which made Chen Zhi a little baffled, and at this time, Qiu Wanshan spoke indifferently.

"Chen Zhi. ”

"In vain. ”

"During this time, I sent He Zinc to find Yan Tianwen, and asked Yan Tianwen to investigate your life experience. As soon as Qiu Wanshan spoke, it was simple and clear, and as he spoke, he glanced at Chen Zhi and continued: "You don't have to worry, this is the due process that every core disciple has to go through, it's just that Yan Xiaozi ignored this layer because you are my apprentice, although the disciples of other Jindan monks are also like this, but I, Qiu Wanshan, don't want to see this scene, so I sent He Zinc to go, I hope you don't have any complaints in your heart." ”

Chen Zhilian didn't dare, but Qiu Wanshan said this, could it be that there was something wrong with his life experience? He immediately looked at Qiu Wanshan suspiciously.

"He Zinc, tell your junior brother about Yan Tianwen's investigation. ”

"Yes, master. ”

He Zinc saluted, glanced at Chen Zhi, coughed, and said expressionlessly: " A week ago, after I went to inform Yan Tianwen, he sent someone to rummage through the procedures when Senior Brother Chen entered the inner door, and sent someone to investigate, and found Senior Brother Chen's parents in Xizi City, east of Daliao, when they explained the origin, Senior Brother Chen's parents claimed that Senior Brother Chen was not their own person, but more than 30 years ago, they went out on a long trip, and accidentally found Senior Brother Chen by a river, at that time Senior Brother Chen was only wearing a jade lock, and there were some gold and silver jewelry around him, after the two of them brought Senior Brother Chen back, only the jade lock was left, and the rest of the gold and silver jewelry were all sold, and used for business, and then the junior brother was elected to the Hehuan Sect because of his spiritual roots. After speaking, he raised his head, glanced at Chen Zhi, and as soon as he turned his hand, a jade lock engraved with strange runes appeared in his palm and handed it to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi didn't take it, but looked at the jade lock with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

This...... What the fuck is going on?!
