Chapter 44: Apprenticeship on the Mountain
Let's not mention Xiaopeng, who is low-key but squanders the starting point coins for crazy shopping in Linfeng City.
At this moment, in a small mountain village where Xiaopeng has just entered the spiritual realm, he was taken in and lived. His sworn brother Cheng Xiaoshan was meditating quietly in the room at this time, and the surrounding spiritual power continued to enter Xiaoshan's dantian at a very steady speed.
Xiao Shan was already a fourth-level junior cultivator at this time. This fourth-level Qi refining is the result of his continuous efforts in the past few months, he has no skills at all, and he has a solid cultivation.
His heart jumped violently, he subconsciously stopped cultivating, and the aura that had surrounded him slowly dissipated. Why? He suddenly remembered his good brother Xiaopeng.
After a few months of separation, he thought about it almost day and night. Then you have to ask, between two men, the word miss is not used appropriately, as if it is much more appropriate to use it between lovers. Don't be surprised, this Cheng Xiaoshan is just a child, there are not many good buddies, Xiaopeng is the best one, can he miss his lover if he doesn't miss his buddies?
Usually thinking about it doesn't disturb his cultivation mind, but today I don't know why the longing is so strong. I'm afraid this is the qualitative change of quantitative change. In addition, his hound had just died of illness the day before, and the companion who accompanied him day and night died suddenly, and he was really in a bad mood.
Xiao Shan sighed and said in his heart, "Now that I have become a monk, I will leave here sooner or later, and after I leave, I don't know anyone, what should I do? ”
"I don't know when I will be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. After cultivating to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, will the master come to take him as an apprentice as promised? If not, where will I go to find him?"
The depressed mind slowed down his cultivation more and more. This made him decide to suspend his cultivation for a day and go out hunting with his father.
Now Xiaoshan is already a monk, and in terms of ability, his father may no longer be his opponent, but in terms of hunting experience, Xiaoshan can't catch up with his father even if he shoots a horse.
Through guò's cultivation during this time, Xiaoshan regardless of eyesight. Hearing, perception of danger are greatly improved. Because there are no demon beasts in this area, they are all ordinary beasts. Therefore, even the most cunning mountain beast cannot escape the perception of the mountain.
With the help of the monk Xiaoshan, the harvest of this day was equivalent to two or three times that of usual, and it was just noon, and he could already return with a full load. Xiaoshan's father was overjoyed. I decided to call it a day and go back to the village. I don't have to go into the mountains to hunt for a few days.
Xiaoshan was originally very strong, and after this cultivation, he felt that his strength was infinite, but he was not tall, so he just carried a small wild boar. It was very easy to walk at the back of the line, and as you walked, you also kicked the small rocks on the side of the road and played.
When one of the stones fell into the small bush next to it, suddenly only a "flutter" sound was heard, and an unknown large bird had already flown up.
The hill is quick with eyes and hands. Drop the wild hunt on your back and fly up. A stone "swished" and flew towards the big bird like lightning.
The bird was unlucky enough, the stone was so small, it didn't even dodge, it was directly hit on one of the wings, and the wings were broken without fighting. Wings are the pride of the bird, but also the weakness of the bird, the wing is broken, and I can't fly if I want to!
The big bird screamed, it was really painful, and it knew that it fell to the ground and was slaughtered, but it had to flutter its wings and fall to the ground.
When Xiaoshan saw the big bird fall to the ground, he was very happy, "This is okay, it seems that in the future, this kung fu of kicking stones will still be practiced more, and it will be very useful." ”
He ran as fast as he could towards the big bird that had fallen to the ground, and it was time for him to capture the trophy. When he got closer, he was not only a little surprised, but the feathers on the bird's body were actually golden, which was really rare.
If you look closely, you will be able to "hmm, even the corners of your mouth are yellow." Oh, it's a baby bird!"
At this time, when the young bird that fell to the ground saw the arrival of the hill, it screamed a few times at the hill, and its eyes were round, and there seemed to be a look of hatred in its eyes. The already injured wings "fluttered" a few times, as if they were about to struggle to fly into the sky. However, it hurt the vital point and couldn't fly.
Xiaoshan was very dissatisfied with the young bird's uncooperative and unfriendly behavior, "I'm X, I still want to fly, you better spend less effort, I will stew you when I go back, and I will save you from suffering." Well, although it is said to be a young bird, it also has a few taels of meat. ”
Hills also no longer talk nonsense with a bird. He took out his usual habit of cleaning up his prey and subdued the young birds strongly. It's not right to say that it is subdued, the young bird wants to peck the hill with his pointed beak from time to time, but he can't succeed, but he always doesn't give up, and until he loses his strength, he seems to be dying and temporarily drooping his head honestly.
Xiaoshan saw that the young bird was honest, and praised the young bird, "Well, yes, this is good." ”
Hearing Xiaoshan's words, the young bird seemed to have the strength again, and continued to try to attack Xiaoshan, but it still didn't work.
"Hmm, it's pretending to be good! You just toss slowly, don't bother to pay attention to you. Seeing that the young bird was not convinced, Xiaoshan sneered.
When he returned to the mountain village, Xiaoshan put the dishonest young bird directly into the cage, and prepared to wait for the evening, so that the whole family could try it.
The blue sky, without a trace of clouds, saw a streamer from the sky, this streamer was Ziyang Zhenren flying rapidly in the sword, when he saw the small mountain village at his feet, he flew directly to the courtyard of the hill house.
The arrival of Ziyang Zhenren, of course, Xiaoshan had already seen it, and as soon as he saw Ziyang Zhenren, he immediately greeted him. As soon as he knelt down, he hurriedly said, "Master, your old man is finally here, I miss you to death." ”
Seeing this, Ziyang Zhenren was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "Hurry up, I don't seem to be your master yet." ”
When Xiao Shan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master, you promised me that when I have completed the Great Perfection of Qi refining, you will accept me as an apprentice, and it has only been a few months, and I am now a fourth-level Qi refining cultivator." In a few months, I will be a cultivator of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and you will be my master. ”
When Ziyang Zhenren heard Xiaoshan's bold words, he actually forgot the purpose of this trip for the time being, and smiled happily: "A few months? If you can really cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in a few months, I am willing to ask the senior brother in charge to accept you as an apprentice. ”
Xiao Shan was puzzled and said, "Why, Master, I just want to worship you as a teacher, so that I can cultivate with Xiao Peng." ”
Ziyang Zhenren was stunned: "So you think so." By the way, has Xiaopeng been to you recently?"
Xiao Shan said puzzledly, "Master, didn't Xiaopeng go back to the master with you?" you mean...... Did he come for me?"
Ziyang Zhenren understands that Xiaopeng didn't come here at all.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaopeng...... In fact, he is no longer in Guiyuan Sect now, Xiaopeng's whereabouts are unknown, and there is no news about him until now, I came here to see if Xiaopeng is here. ”
Xiaoshan was shocked in his heart and said, "Master, doesn't that mean that Xiaopeng is missing?"
Ziyang Zhenren said worriedly, "Alas, it can also be said that way. ”
Xiaoshan was very uneasy in his heart, but he comforted Ziyang Zhenren, "Master, don't worry, Xiaopeng will never be fine, wait a little longer, he will definitely return to the master's door." ”
Ziyang Zhenren stared at Xiao Shandao and said, "I hope this too!"
Ziyang Zhenren At this time, he was actually a little desperate, do you think, a big living person, if you can't see it, you'll be gone, there is no news, do you want to have something good. Maybe it's no longer in this world.
Although he thought so in his heart, he would definitely not believe it if it was not confirmed.
Ziyang Zhenren looked at Xiaoshan and thought, "Although this Cheng Xiaoshan's spiritual root is not very good, he has cultivated to the fourth level of qi refining in a few months, and he must have put in a lot of effort, he should be a person with a firm heart." Cultivation not only depends on talent, but also inseparable from acquired efforts, if Cheng Xiaoshan keeps working like this, he will definitely have a lot to do. Besides, the relationship between Cheng Xiaoshan and Xiaopeng is very close, and it shouldn't be wrong to accept him. Since you're here, take it with you. ”
Thinking of this, he decided to accept this apprentice immediately, "Xiaoshan, since you keep calling me master, it seems that you have regarded me as your master in your heart, then the master will fulfill you and accept you as an apprentice today." I wonder what you think?"
Xiaoshan was in a state of melancholy when he suddenly heard that Ziyang Zhenren promised to accept him as an apprentice, and he was really excited, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
Xiaoshan respectfully gave Ziyang Zhenren three bows and nine bows to the teacher. Since then, Cheng Xiaoshan has been under the door of Ziyang Zhenren.
Now that Xiaoshan has done the apprenticeship ceremony, of course, the master should also give some benefits to the apprentices he has just received.
"Xiaoshan, since you are already at the fourth level of qi refining, you can already learn the flying of the sword, I will pass on this sword technique to you first, and when you return to the master's gate and officially include it in the door wall, the master will issue you a flying sword. Of course, Edgeworth must apply for a flight license to fly, and before it is handled, don't leave the Guiyuan Sect, which will be heavily fined.
This jade talisman, you put it away, do your best to refine it, it will become your talisman, which can play a very good protective role. I will also pass on the sacrificial refining method to you now, and you can now let go of the Spiritual Consciousness Sea. ”
Xiao Shan did as he said, Ziyang Zhenren's spiritual finger flashed, and a spiritual power had already entered Xiao Shan's spiritual consciousness sea, and the two magic tricks had already been imprinted.
Seeing that the matter had been done, Ziyang Zhenren was ready to take Xiaoshan out of the mountain village the next day and return to Yuanzong with him. Let Xiaoshan and his father and grandfather chat tonight, and say goodbye. (To be continued......)
