Hearing Chen Qingyun's words, Yin Zhiping felt a little familiar.

Thousands of years ago, the Adversary, the power of filth.

Isn't this the same as the witch of the Arctic Demon Sect that Bai Suzhen told herself?

Thinking of this, Yin Zhiping asked, "Senior Brother Chen, is this demon a disciple of the Arctic Demon Sect?"

Chen Qingyun was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Does Senior Brother Yin also know?"

Yin Zhiping didn't say that he had just come from there, but said, "I've heard about it." ”

Chen Qingyun said with a smile: "That demon was the biggest crisis thousands of years ago, carrying a black pool, I don't know how many sects were razed to the ground. ”

Yin Zhiping recalled the scene of the battle between the demon and Bai Suzhen that day in the light curtain in the belly of the mountain, and the monstrous black filth power made people feel very terrifying even through the thick mountain rocks.

It seems that this meridian bullswordfish is also a poor worm.

With this idea, Yin Zhiping was no longer entangled in the attack of the other party just now, and he originally planned to teach him a lesson after completing his studies, but Yin Zhiping, who had always been magnanimous, decided to spare his life.

Follow Chen Qingyun to walk in the stone road, the direction of walking constitutes a circle, but the direction is downward, and after walking a few hundred meters, he came to a huge stone room.

This distance has been shrouded in darkness, and even Chen Qingyun did not use a spell to ignite the flames.

There are thirteen pillars in the stone chamber, six on the left, six on the right, and one in the middle.

Above the pillar in the middle is a large bright hole that leads to the summit.

But seeing this big hole, Yin Zhiping frowned.

He always remembered where he had walked and how far he had traveled. If correct, this large hole should be in the middle of the peak.

But the cave where he and Chen Qingyun came down was further back, since this was the case, why didn't they see this big hole when they passed through the peak?

Thinking like this, Yin Zhiping was a little suspicious, Chen Qingyun guessed what he was thinking in his heart, and said, "This is the backyard of the Sword Pavilion, which is the hall we saw yesterday. ”

Yin Zhiping nodded and asked if there were indeed many buildings behind the Sword Pavilion. If it's there. It's normal that you don't notice it yourself.

"This is where Master cultivates, and the twelve pillars are the twelve masters of the past. Chen Qingyun introduced, pointed ahead, and said, "Let's take this road." ”

There are three forks in the front. Chen Qingyun took Yin Zhiping into the one on the far left.

This time the tunnel is very long. And it leans downward. After walking for about a mile, I entered a huge cave.

The hall is four or five feet high, and there is a ring in the center. The main thing is that the cave is openworked, half of which extends out of the mountain peaks and hangs in mid-air.

Chen Qingyun stood still and said, "This is the original martial arts arena, which is used by the disciples to compete and assess each other. ”

Yin Zhiping saw the empty martial arts arena, and suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Chen, how many people are there in Shushan now?"

Chen Qingyun smiled bitterly: "If you count you, there are six people, and there are seventy or eighty spirits. Senior brother, I know what you want to say, no one has come to this martial arts arena for a long time. The aura of heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, and there are fewer and fewer people who can cultivate, and once in a while, there will be a sharp decrease in the number of cultivators. ”

Heaven and earth aura?

Yin Zhiping was attracted by this word and asked, "Heaven and earth aura?"

Chen Qingyun asked suspiciously, "Doesn't Senior Brother know the aura? Heaven and earth have aura, and this aura is the foundation of our cultivators' cultivation. Senior brother, you already have true qi in your body, isn't it transformed by absorbing spiritual energy?"

Yin Zhiping frowned and said, "Is this aura the primordial qi?"

The True Qi in his body was transformed by refining the primordial power with innate internal force, and Sword Thirteen also admired the subtlety of True Qi.

But Yin Zhiping didn't know about Reiki.

Chen Qingyun looked at Yin Zhiping strangely and asked, "Senior Brother's True Qi is transformed by the Primordial Qi? The cultivator's True Qi is the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth absorbed into the body and refined into true qi. Primordial Qi? That kind of thing can be refined, won't it be sealed in the acupuncture path?"

Yin Zhiping asked, "Senior brother mean, I have completely gone astray?"

Chen Qingyun shook his head and said, "That's not it, there are countless cultivation paths in the world, and although the cultivation methods of the junior disciples are a little different, they are not undesirable. Hahahaha, don't say it, let's go. ”

As he spoke, Chen Qingyun took Yin Zhiping and continued to walk down.

In the following time, Yin Zhiping visited many places, such as the spirit beast pool, the dungeon, the refining room, and so on.

When it was almost noon, Chen Qingyun and Yin Zhiping came to a room in the Wenjian Pavilion where the guests were entertained.

There, Bai Suzhen was already there, and Jian Thirteen, as well as an old man, and a young girl.

In the room, there was a long table, and everyone sat on either side of the table.

At this time, suddenly several apes walked in from outside the room, holding plates in their hands, which were full of delicious food.

The apes put their plates down and turned to leave.

Yin Zhiping walked around the sword blades and didn't see them, Chen Qingyun saw Yin Zhiping puzzled, and said: "Senior Brother Yin, these apes are also disciples of Shushan, although the actual ancestor of our Shushan is the ancestor of Jianyi, but it is the white ape and sword immortal who taught the ancestor of Jianyi, so our Shushan has taken in many apes, taught them swordsmanship, and helped them embark on the path of cultivation." After decades of reproduction, apes have thrived on the edge of the sword, and some masters are not inferior to me. Even if you can't practice, you will do some chores on the blade. For example, they are solely responsible for cooking. ”

Yin Zhiping listened to Chen Qingyun's explanation, and was a little surprised, but he didn't expect them to even be able to cook.

Just as the two were talking, Jian Thirteen said with a smile: "White lady, Shushan has prepared some dishes, I don't know if the white lady is still satisfied?"

The white lady looked at the dishes on the table and said softly: "The dishes of Shushan are famous all over the world, and I tasted them once four hundred years ago, and I will never forget them." ”

Jian Thirteen laughed and said, "Since the white lady likes it, then let's go." ”

Shushan now adds Yin Zhiping. There are only six people, and now there are only five, and if it weren't for the small square table prepared, it is estimated that they would not even be able to sit at one table.

The current Shushan has declined, but it must not be underestimated.

Everyone started the dishes and chopsticks, and Yin Zhiping's eyes looked at the dishes on the table, most of which were very light and emerald green.

Chen Qingyun pointed to a plate of crisp bamboo shoots and said, "Senior Brother Yin, this is the Qingyun bamboo planted in Shu Mountain. Grows where clouds and sword edges meet. Absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, after ordinary people eat it, they can be smart and unforgettable. You can be admitted to the show immediately. Skyrocket. That's why it's called Qingyun bamboo. ”

Yin Zhiping lifted his chopsticks, picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, and put it in his mouth. Before he could bite, the bamboo shoot turned into a liquid and flowed deep down his throat.

Some of the sweet liquid slides down the throat and immediately turns into a rich gas when it enters the stomach and goes up the esophagus.

Just when Yin Zhiping thought he was going to burp, the gas passed through the wall of the esophagus and emitted towards the limbs of his body.

A cool feeling spread all over his body, and Yin Zhiping felt refreshed, as if he had soaked in ice water on a hot summer day.

A look of intoxication appeared on Yin Zhiping's face, and Chen Qingyun on the side smiled and said, "What does Senior Brother Yin think?"

Yin Zhiping said with a smile: "Being able to eat such delicious food every day, I really regret not coming to Shushan earlier." ”

When Chen Qingyun heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Yin, these dishes are not something that can be eaten every day. Just like this Qingyun bamboo, a bamboo plant needs thirty to forty years of spiritual energy offerings before it can be eaten. ”

Yin Zhiping was stunned for a moment, originally thought that this Qingyun bamboo was just ordinary food for Shushan, but he didn't expect it to be so precious, and he didn't dare to put down chopsticks for a while.

But at this time, Jian Thirteen said: "Yin Zhiping, although these dishes are precious, this time they are just to entertain you and the White Lady, just eat them." ”

"Yes. ”

Yin Zhiping raised his chopsticks again and ate other dishes.

After eating, Yin Zhiping was taken by Chen Qingyun to the place where he stayed, because Yin Zhiping was already a disciple of Shushan, and it was not suitable to live in Lingyun Cave, so he followed Chen Qingyun to the place where the disciple lived.

Since there were fewer and fewer disciples in Shushan, Yin Zhiping was divided into a small courtyard, which was close to the cliff in the middle of the sword, and was with the courtyard where Chen Qingyun lived.

The courtyard has four or five rooms, as well as a kitchen of its own, which is small enough for one person.

From day to night, Bai Suzhen did not come here, which made Yin Zhiping a little stunned.

For more than half a year, Yin Zhiping could see Bai Suzhen when he opened his eyes, but now he can't see it, and he is also a little disappointed.

But Yin Zhiping knew that from today onwards, he would have to live here alone.

Thinking of the task given to him by Bai Suzhen, he became the heir of the head of Shushan, and when the time came, Bai Suzhen could help solve the three elixirs.

Coupled with the one he got from Shushan, Yin Zhiping's goal has been achieved.

But if you want to become the heir to the head of Shushan, first of all, you can't be inferior to Chen Qingyun in terms of cultivation.

Therefore, Yin Zhiping did not dare to rest, and after refining the primordial qi and turning it into the innate true one qi, he cultivated the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Nine Yang True Scripture.

The next morning, Yin Zhiping sat cross-legged on the bed to practice, the door was pushed open, Yin Zhiping opened his eyes, only to see an ape carrying a food box, walked in by himself, put the food box on the table, saw Yin Zhiping looking at him, the ape pointed to the table, gestured, and made a gesture to eat

Yin Zhiping knew what he meant, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Ape." ”

The ape waved his hand, as if to say no more politely, and then the ape turned and walked away.

Yin Zhiping opened the food box and found that there were two peculiar fruits inside, Yin Zhiping picked one up and put it to his mouth and took a bite, the juice filled his mouth, and the taste was a little sweet.

"Delicious. Yin Zhiping felt the sweetness fermenting in his mouth, and ate it in a big gulp, and after eating both fruits, he immediately felt very full.

This made Yin Zhiping a little surprised, you must know that Yin Zhiping eats a lot now, and he needs at least a dozen catties of meat if he wants to be full.

But now the two fruits made him feel very full, and this fruit did not look ordinary.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, Yin Zhiping said please come in, Chen Qingyun pushed open the door and walked in, looked at Yin Zhiping, and said, "Senior Brother Yin, come with me, Master wants to see you." (To be continued......)
