Chapter 507: Punishment
Pumice stone is the mysterious place of Sedum.
Except for the eight elders, the rest of the people were not allowed to enter and leave at will, and even the disciples and envoys had to get the permission of the elders before they could go out.
The area within a thousand feet of pumice stone is a forbidden place among forbidden places, but anyone who dares to approach it will be punished with death.
Therefore, around the pumice stone, there is a deathly cold silence, and there is not a single sound to be heard.
Today, however, something is different.
There are constantly monks and swordsmen or flying boats that fly in the direction of pumice.
"Lei Daoyou, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing lately?"
"It turned out to be Xiao Daoyou, you also came to participate in the Great Elder's apprenticeship ceremony?"
"There is no reason why such a grand event should not come!"
..................................................................
A few days later, it was the day of the Great Elder of the Sedum Kingdom Acceptance Ceremony, and these monks received the invitation of the Great Elder and rushed from their respective cultivation places early.
Some of them are infant monks who have been in retreat for decades, or even centuries.
These monks are not well-known, and they are dedicated to cultivation, often for tens and hundreds of years in retreat, and except for the disciples in their family, very few people know about their existence.
These people are also a potential force in Sedum.
No one was willing to participate in such trivial matters as accepting apprentices, but after all, it was the Great Elder of the Sedum Kingdom who accepted the apprentices, and although they were unwilling, they had to leave the cave mansion to give the Great Elder such a face.
And as long as you participate in this apprenticeship ceremony, you can also get the Nine Turns Soul Pill, which is exclusively secret by the Great Elder, and for some monks, this Nine Turns Soul Pill is a great supplement, and it has a great improvement in cultivation.
There is also a small group of monks. Taking the Nine Turns Soul Pill, there is no obvious effect. But such a rare treasure. Just want to sell. Surely there will be a large number of monks rushing to buy it.
In addition to these ancestors of the Yuan Infant Stage who did not care about the world, there were also a large number of Jindan Stage monks who accepted the invitation.
Although they only had the cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, they were the backbone of the Sedum Kingdom, including the sect masters of various sects and the patriarchs of some families.
Sedum can develop in a normal and orderly manner. These are the people who take the most credit.
And these people are now in the late stage of Jindan, but they already have the strength to impact the Yuan Infant Stage. Maybe decades from now. You can successfully get married.
After these people received the invitation, they naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they had long wanted to find some excuses. It's time to meet these infant monks. It's just that I don't have a chance.
The incident of the apprenticeship ceremony was exactly what they wanted.
The name "Ishikawa" spread rapidly in Sedum, and for a while, everyone rushed to tell each other about the origin of this person.
But on top of the pumice. The reputation is not obvious, except for a few elders and personal disciples. Others didn't know Ishikawa's name.
..............................
On Huaci Mountain, Mother-in-law Jinhua was full of joy.
Just yesterday, she was vaguely able to use the magnetic force in that magnet.
According to Granny Jinhua's inference, this huge magnet is likely to be the core of the Huaci Mountain Range.
The magnetic force in it is far from constantly supplying the cultivation of tens of thousands of monks.
The small pieces of magnets that were excavated should have fallen off from the huge magnets.
As for the fleeing monks, there was no news, as if overnight, they had lost their trace.
Hundreds of Jindan and Foundation Building Stage monks under the Jinhua Mother-in-law searched closely for dozens of days, but they did not find anything.
In this regard, Jinhua's mother-in-law was also very helpless, but there was nothing she could do.
Therefore, Granny Jinhua could only use the huge magnet to cultivate desperately before this secret was revealed, and by the way, she could find a way to take this magnet for herself. ...,
If you can take this magnet for yourself, even if you destroy the entire Huaci Mountain Range, you will not hesitate to do so.
Time is of the essence.
But the Great Elder's Acceptance Ceremony, Granny Jinhua had to participate in it.
Regarding the Great Elder's sudden proposal, Granny Jinhua was also quite surprised.
First, Ishikawa is not a disciple of a big family, although his qualifications are good, but the great elder treats him like this, which inevitably makes people a little curious.
Second, Qingchuan is only a foundation building period monk, and the qualifications of the four water spirit roots are not bad, but after all, she is just an ordinary foundation building period monk, how can she be known by the Great Elder?
"Could it be that Ishikawa and Harukawa have known each other for a long time?" Granny Jinhua guessed in her heart.
But Granny Jinhua thought about it and dispelled this thought, Qingchuan was brought back by Yan Nu from the Fire Burning Kingdom, not a monk of the Sedum Kingdom, except for the last time she went to the Huaji City Fighting Law Conference, she had never left the Huaci Mountain Range, and she was accompanied by Bai Fan when she went last time.
For Bai Fan, Granny Jinhua had a lot of good feelings, if her two disciples could become Taoist couples, it would naturally be a good thing, but the Great Elder's proposal, Granny Jinhua could not be regarded as a deaf ear.
Therefore, the eldest elder's proposal for marriage, Granny Jinhua did not tell Qingchuan.
After some thought, Granny Jinhua finally decided to take Bai Fan and Qingchuan to participate in the Dharma Fighting Conference, if Qingchuan and Bai Fan already had feelings, the Great Elder could not force them.
"The Great Elder of the Council of Elders is going to hold a ceremony to accept the eighth disciple on top of the pumice stone, how about I take the two of you to watch the ceremony?" Granny Jinhua said to Qingchuan and Bai Fan.
Bai Fan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Master!"
The pumice stone is the dream place of many monks in the foundation building period and the Jindan stage, and even if you can't cultivate on the pumice stone, it is a great honor to go once.
And Mother-in-law Jinhua only took Bai Fan and Qingchuan there, which made Bai Fan secretly happy in his heart.
Qingchuan also hurriedly thanked him.
Granny Jinhua said: "In addition to watching the ceremony, there are some other things, I won't say much about this matter, and when you get there, you will naturally know." ”
Mother-in-law Jinhua picked up a cyan flying boat, took the two of them, and left in the sky.
............
On top of the pumice stone, there was a busy place, and the exquisite attic in the middle was almost full, and these were the temporary residences of the early Yuan Infant monks.
These Yuan Infant Stage cultivators, who have been in retreat for many years, rarely have the opportunity to gather together, and this is the right moment to exchange cultivation experiences and treasures.
There are also many Jindan monks who want to take this opportunity to meet the Yuan Infant Monks, but except for a few people who are related to the Yuan Infant Monks, there are very few opportunities to meet the Yuan Infant Monks.
As more and more monks come to watch the ceremony, the pumice stone becomes more and more lively.
Many of the named disciples were temporarily sent out to settle the monks who came to attend the ceremony.
The exquisite attic that was being built in the southeast of the pumice stone was almost completed, and the monks of the foundation building period who were under construction had not rested for a few days, and their spiritual power was exhausted at this time, and their faces were pale.
On top of the pumice stone, it has not been so lively in decades.
In addition to the retreat of the Eight Elders, the other elders were also affected by some influences, and they did not understand the matter of the Great Elder's holding of the disciple acceptance ceremony.
And the person who caused all this, Ishikawa, knew nothing about it.
More than a month has passed, and in the northwest corner of the pumice rock, especially the grass house where Ishikawa is located, it is a forgotten place.
Most of the monks who have not been in pumice for a long time have settled here.
These people were all foundation building period monks, and few of them left the grass house except for receiving spirit stones and pills. Cultivate wholeheartedly.
Because they don't have anything to do other than cultivation. ..., even if you want to do miscellaneous labor, you have to take out enough spirit stones in exchange, because this is the first step to leave the northwest corner, and it is also the only chance to be able to meet the Yuan Infant Monk.
For example, Mu Qianqian, it is extremely rare to be able to get the position of guiding disciples, and to be able to meet elders.
Otherwise, the messenger would not have looked at him differently.
"Ishikawa is there?" shouted angrily, disturbing the silence here.
"What are you looking for me?" After a few moments, Ishikawa stepped out of the hut.
During this period of time, Ishikawa has been contemplating the Dao Dharma, otherwise if he is in retreat, Ishikawa will definitely ignore this person.
"The last time you trespassed into the forbidden land, you were fined 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and you were locked up for a month. Now follow me to be punished!" the person who came was a fake Dan monk, with a hint of disdain on his face.
Ishikawa frowned, he didn't expect that after such a long time, the Jindan period monk would still be thinking about it.
"Ishikawa Daoyou?" At this moment, another person came, and this person was also a false Dan stage monk.
"I am!" Ishikawa replied.
"Shi Daoyou, I was ordered to invite you!" The fake Dan period monk glanced at Shi Chuan, his face full of joy: "Shi Daoyou is really a talent, and his qualifications are extraordinary, so I can't wait for him." ”
The fake Dan stage monk who came earlier showed a strange look on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said, "First hand over the punishment of a thousand medium-grade spirit stones." ”
Without waiting for Ishikawa to speak, the later False Dan Stage Monk said unhappily, "Who are you who dare to ask for a spirit stone from Shi Daoyou?"
The monk smiled and said, "I am the second disciple of the Great Elder, the miscellaneous servant of the predecessor of Jiuyang, this person violated the rules of pumice, so I came to punish him?"
Later, the monk laughed and said, "If the senior of Jiuyang knew that you had made this move, wouldn't he be angry, and let me ask you, which mistake did Shi Daoyou make?"
The face of the early False Dan Stage monk changed slightly.
At this moment, the monks of the surrounding grass houses also came out of the room.
Due to the dense density of grass huts here, it didn't take long for dozens of monks to appear around.
These monks also knew about Ishikawa's arrival, and they also thought that Ishikawa would be like them, receiving a certain number of spirit stones and elixirs every month, and then cultivating day and night.
But they didn't expect that Ishikawa would cause such a big trouble as soon as he came.
"Isn't it a felony for Ishikawa to trespass into the forbidden land and disturb the pavilion where the eighth disciple of the Great Elder is cultivating?" ”
