Chapter 14: Dark Disease
"How so?"
The other elders and disciples quickly noticed the situation here, and immediately thousands of pairs of eyes looked at each other, and when they saw the incredible look on Wujizi's face, they all looked confused.
"Why, Wujizi, you are not satisfied with the first and second rankings?"
"Strange, come and see, this son's physique is very strange. Wujizi looked at Xia Mu with a look of pity on his face.
The others suddenly understood that it was not unheard of such a thing in previous sessions, it must have been something wrong with Xia Mu's body, and in an instant, all these elders surrounded him.
I saw Elder Han Feng being the first to step forward: "Being able to rank second in the trial, this young man should be a rare genius, is there anything wrong?"
At this time, the other elders also approached and began to check on Xia Mu, being touched by a group of old men and women, Xia Mu felt quite uncomfortable, but he was also very curious about what was going on in his body.
Perhaps, in this world, he can find a way to solve his own mystery.
I saw a powerful elder who was shocked and said, "How can there be such a physique in this world?"
Elder Han Feng probed for a long time, and his face also showed an incredible look, and said: "The three palaces of Shentai are lifeless and silent, with such a physique, it is impossible to still be alive......
"What do you mean by this, Elder?" Xia Mu's heart jumped and asked carefully.
"The three palaces of Shentai are lifeless and silent, this is a sign that you have been dead for a long time, but you are still "alive", you can't understand, you can't understand!" An elder replied for Han Feng, with doubts and confusion on his face.
"What?" the other elders who didn't participate in the inspection all looked shocked, barely believing their ears.
In an instant, dozens of elders surrounded him, and they had to check it themselves before they could believe it.
Han Feng still felt incredulous: "My Qiankun Sacred Courtyard has been inherited for ten thousand years, and there has never been such a physique, even in the Middle Continent, it has never been heard of, what does this mean?"
Wujizi, who was dressed in a golden robe, shook his head and said: "Don't talk about this now, the three palaces of Shentai are silent, no matter how this son survived, but he can cultivate to the enlightenment at most in this life, and there is no hope for the fetal palace, and the path of cultivation has been broken, it's a pity." β
"Yes, such an outstanding talent, it's a pity, this has not happened in Dongzhou for endless years, how can there be such a huge amount of dead qi hidden in the human body. β
In fact, no one in this group of elders of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard could say why, and it was not clear whether the situation in Xia Mu's body was an innate physique or an acquired change.
The three palaces of Shentai, the fetal palace, the middle palace, and the mud pill palace are the foundation of the monk's cultivation, with infinite vitality potential and possibility, and should be vibrant, but now in Xia Mu's body, the three palaces of Shentai contain a majestic death, which is not the state that a living person should have at all, and it is impossible to open up the fetal palace.
"Now that we do this, this son's path of cultivation has been cut off in disguise. That Wujizi sighed, his face extremely disappointed.
As soon as these words came out, some of the elders' faces suddenly sank: "Wujizi, what do you mean, this is your own choice, is it possible that you still want to choose again?"
And the other elders also had complicated expressions, and when they encountered this kind of thing, they didn't know whether to be happy or sorry.
At this moment, everyone no longer looked at Xia Mu, from the potential genius that everyone was competing for before to the current coldness, the contrast was very obvious.
So far, a thousand teenagers have their own teachers, but Xia Mu's own situation has put him in an awkward position, the path of cultivation has been broken, and that Wujizi obviously doesn't want this apprentice, but because of his face, it's hard to say it directly.
"Wujizi, this Xia Mu will be taught by the old man, what do you think?" For a while, the old man Han Feng, who had not spoken, spoke amazingly, whether it was the apprenticeship or the competition for the top ten teenagers, this old man did not participate, it seemed that he was just here to have a good time, and now he actually plans to accept Xia Mu as an apprentice, which has to make people wonder.
"This..., since Brother Han has this will, it is not easy for the younger brother to brush off your old meaning. Xia Mu, go ahead, from now on you will be Elder Han's disciple. After Wujizi was polite, he immediately sent Xia Mu out without hesitation.
Xia Mu heard it clearly, knowing that he was a hot potato now, and no one would want to waste time teaching a disciple who had no future. But now, Elder Han Feng, who had never accepted an apprentice, actually planned to accept himself as an apprentice, which was very unreasonable.
Some of the elders were also puzzled and asked, "Brother Han, why are you so troubled?"
"Calculate the time, the Tower of Ten Thousand Realms is about to open again!" Old Man Han Feng didn't answer, but instead brought the topic to another matter.
"Ancient Forbidden Land, Brother Han, what do you mean....." Some of the elders seemed to have thought of something, and asked uncertainly.
"Yes, as long as he can find the Yin Yang Life and Death Divine Spring, and temper his body with the water of the Yang Spring, he can naturally wash away the dead qi on his body and continue his journey. Old Man Han Feng nodded.
"But it's just a legend, and no one has ever found it in the past, so how can it be taken seriously. Some of the elders also put forward their opinions.
Legends are not necessarily true, and it may be that later generations will catch the wind.
"What kind of place is the Tower of Ten Thousand Realms?" Xia Mu asked, hearing that there was a holy treasure that could help him continue his journey, which made him see hope.
"The exact origin, we don't know very well, we only know that it was originally the treasure of a certain holy dynasty emperor in ancient times, and it was opened once in hundreds of years, and the time and location are uncertain. One of the elders said vaguely.
"That Yin Yang Life and Death Divine Spring can wash away the dead qi on my body?" Xia Mu asked carefully.
"Well, if the legend is true, the death qi in your body is naturally not to be feared, and it is a great opportunity!" Old Man Han Feng nodded.
"Is that place dangerous?" Xia Mu was a little suspicious, mainly thinking of the vague answer of an elder just now.
"The place where the ancient Holy Dynasty emperor is buried is naturally dangerous, but now that tower has become an ownerless thing, there is a great opportunity. The old man Han Feng was kind and seductive, and said, "Just imagine, where an ancient giant is buried, can you get less treasures?"
"Since there are so many benefits, why don't you go yourself?" Xia Mu asked rhetorically.
"Of course we want to go in, but it's a pity that since the fall of the Emperor of the Ancient Holy Dynasty, that place has changed, and only teenagers below the realm of the Fetal Palace can enter. One of the elders sighed and told the truth of the matter.
"What a change, it can't be haunted!" Xia Mu's heart jumped, and he once again remembered the ancient city of Penglai, that place was full of ghosts, and he almost couldn't get out when he went in.
"No one knows the specific situation, but don't worry, that place is not a Jedi, although every time it is opened, many people are buried, but there are still some heroes who can get a great opportunity, and now they all turn a blind eye and step into the secret realm of immortality. Old Man Han Feng said the benefits at the right time.
"Yes, this is a great opportunity, even the Middle Ages Continent will send people in, the opportunity is not to be missed, we only have ten places in Dongzhou, and we still need to go through some competition to determine who is qualified to enter, not everyone can enter." β
"Why are you so enthusiastic, I have broken off my future now, and I may not be able to continue practicing in the future, how can you be willing to talk to me so much. Xia Mu looked at a group of old people with a suspicious expression.
"Child, you underestimate yourself too much, with your talent, as long as you practice well, there are a few people below the realm of the womb palace who can compete with you. "An old man told the truth, and what he liked was the strength of Xia Mu's fetal palace in front of the realm.
"Yes, this time you enter the burial place of the Emperor of the Ancient Holy Dynasty, you must pay attention to the Holy Pilgrimage Treasure, if you can bring it back, even if you can't find the Yin Yang Life and Death Divine Spring, our Qiankun Holy Land will do its best to continue your journey. Another old man spoke, revealing the true purpose of the group of people, who wanted them to find the treasure of the ancient holy pilgrimage on their behalf.
Xia Mu suddenly understood, no wonder his attitude changed so much, it turned out that he was asking for him.
"Well, that's how it all decides. Old Man Han Feng made a final decision and asked Xia Mu to say goodbye to a few friends.
A moment later, hundreds of divine rays of light rose to the sky, dividing towards the various hills of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard.
On this day, Xia Mu and the old man Han Feng came to a mountain, not high or low, bare, only a few thatched houses were built on it, which was obviously not in line with the name of the cave heaven blessed land, and the aura was quite abundant.
"Is this the Elder's Cave Mansion?" Xia Mu couldn't help but ask.
"Naturally, everything is a faΓ§ade, you don't have to care. For Xia Mu's title, the old man Han Feng didn't care too much, and stretched out his hand and pointed ahead: "The one on the far left will be your practice living room in the future, if you have any difficulties in cultivation, you can come to the old man to solve your doubts, today you are familiar with the life here, tomorrow at noon to the thatched hut on the far right to find me, I will guide you to a few more spiritual skills, okay, go." β
After this day, Xia Mu's cultivation path in the Qiankun Holy Academy could be regarded as the real beginning.
The next day, Xia Mu followed the old man's instructions and went to the thatched hut on the far right at noon.
"Elder, the disciple is here. Xia Mu did not break in recklessly, but stood outside the door and bowed and shouted loudly.
"Come in!" Elder Han Feng's voice came from inside the room, and his voice was gentle and made people feel like a spring breeze.
The thatched hut was small, but spotlessly clean, except for a futon for meditation and a cold stone bed, and nothing else.
Old Man Han Feng seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and as soon as his dry palm was flipped, two scriptures appeared from the void, and they were extremely magical, making Xia Mu's eyes light up.
"This is the Qiankun bag, the spiritual treasure that the monk used to store things, and you will have it in the future. The old man explained a little, and then handed the two scriptures to Xia Mu with a smile, and said: "These two spiritual skills, one is "Opening the Mountain" and the other is "Breaking the Sky Finger", which I got from my experience when I was young. β
"Two kinds of spiritual skills, you can choose one to cultivate, "The Secret of the Mountain" has a tempering effect on the physical body, it belongs to the close-range spiritual skills, "Breaking the Sky Finger" can make the ten fingers stronger than the iron stone, you can attack from a distance or fight in close combat, you choose for yourself!"
