Chapter 81 Yinfeng Cave (first update)
Shi Xuan grabbed Yu Ruoshui, who was shaking with anger, and Zhou Dielan, whose eyes were red, walked out of the charity room in the eyes of many disciples who were gloating about their misfortune.
It is Deacon Ye Xiangan's right to assign tasks to each disciple. As long as he does not violate the sect's precepts, if the five major tasks cannot be assigned to one disciple consecutively, then there will be no fault on his part. If he resists, If the accused goes to the Zhanglu Hall, then he should wait to be punished. Chief Yong Xiangyong is said to be an unkind and extremely strict person. Meng Yuchang only dares to play with the fact that he has an ancestor who is a master of Jindan. If you use small means within the rules to deal with Shi Xuan, you will know how strictly the sect's precepts are enforced.
After telling this analysis to Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan, they gradually calmed down. Yu Ruoshui stamped his feet and said, "Can't we resist when we are bullied like this? It's really too much!"
Shi Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "I think they will arrange it for us every other month."
"Why don't we practice anymore? Why don't we tell Sister Ming and ask her to plead with her master to come forward." Zhou Dielan pinned her hope on Yu Linglong.
Because of Shi Xuan, Yu Ruoshui, Zhou Dielan and Ming Qingyue became familiar with each other during this month, and they soon became like sisters, and because Ming Qingyue often helped her father run the market, although she was the youngest , but the most mature, coupled with her heroic temperament, actually made Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan willing to call her sister.
"Based on what Junior Brother Shi said, I'm afraid even if Uncle Jade Master comes forward, it won't work. After all, there is nothing wrong on the other side's face." After Yu Ruoshui calmed down, he still agreed with Shi Xuan's statement.
In fact, the three of them didn't know that with Yu Linglong's temper, if they begged her to come forward, the other party would definitely be scared to death. At least Meng Yuchang briefly gave up the idea of revenge against Shi Xuan after Ming Qingyue entered Yu Linglong's sect, because he shuddered and couldn't sleep at night when he thought of facing the terrifying scene when Yu Linglong got angry.
But soon he got the news that Ming Qingyue had been trained by Yu Linglong and needed to stay in seclusion for two to three years to remaster and polish Canglang Qi. Huh, two to three years is enough to kill that guy.
"Junior Sister Dielan, you go and guard the medicine field first. When Senior Sister Yu and I are on duty in Yinfeng Cave, we will think about countermeasures carefully. We can't just sit back and wait for death." Shi Xuan first persuaded Zhou Dielan to leave, not delaying the mission. , but there will be punishment.
Zhou Dielan nodded sadly, took out a paper crane, and with a cry, it turned into a big white crane, but you could still tell that it was made of paper. This was because the sect considered that the monks in the Qi-nurturing period were not yet able to fly with swords. , the flying talisman paper specially given to them can be used repeatedly.
Stepping on the back of the paper crane, Zhou Dielan slowly flew into the air, then waved goodbye to the two of them, and reluctantly left Jiaomu Peak.
However, Shi Xuan and Yu Ruoshui stopped talking, took out their green steel swords, and chanted the spells. The green steel sword turned into a ray of green light, wrapped the two people, and flew towards the Yinfeng Cave.
Although the two men could only fly for a few dozen miles with their swords, the Yinfeng Cave was not far away. It was on the mountain behind Tianshu Peak and they arrived quickly.
The two pressed the sword light and landed at the entrance of Yinfeng Cave. This is a cave where a cold and strange wind blows out all year round. No one can tell clearly where this cold and strange wind comes from. They only know that it suddenly occurred thousands of years ago. At first, some disciples asked the elders to deal with this problem. Strange wind, but later I found that this strange wind was good for tempering the body, so I kept it.
However, body tempering is only for monks at the Qi-entraining stage and above. Disciples like Shi Xuan at the out-of-body stage only dare to stand guard dozens of feet away from the entrance of the cave. They dare not get close at all, otherwise they will be blown to death or even to death. of.
After checking the jade slips of good deeds to the two disciples on duty, they confirmed that they were here to hand over the task. The two cheered, quickly packed up their things, handed over some things, leaving traces, and finally handed over a The jade token was given to the two of them and explained: "We are mainly here to see which disciples who went in to temper their bodies did not come out in time. If they do not come out in time for more than three hours, we will use this jade token to notify the elders on duty here. In addition, , after dark, use the jade sign to close the cave entrance, and then open it again the next morning.”
As soon as they finished explaining, the two left without looking back, as if they were afraid of this place.
Shi Xuan and Yu Ruoshui smiled bitterly at each other, understanding that this was not a good job, because they felt cold just standing here for a while, let alone being on duty for a whole day.
Shi Xuan and the others will be on duty here for twenty days, including two days of rest. These two days and the other days will be guarded by other disciples who have taken over the task of doing good deeds.
There are actually very few disciples who come to Yinfeng Cave, because there are only a few dozen inner disciples, each of whom is still at a different stage. Only the body-tempering stage requires coming to Yinfeng Cave, and they don’t come every day. Only a dozen need to be registered every day.
After being relatively speechless for a while, Yu Ruoshui said, "Junior brother Shi, you don't seem to be angry at all? I was very angry at the time."
"No, I was very angry at the time, but I quickly controlled my emotions. As for now, anger and hatred will not bring us any help. If I get angry again, how can I be injured in the air? To Meng Yuchang or Ye Xiangan, the best way to resist is to calm down and make rapid progress." Shi Xuan explained his changes in mood to Yu Ruoshui.
"That's true, but if we stay here, our daily practice will not be delayed, but we won't have time to take on the good deeds. We won't be able to accumulate good deeds, and the elixirs and so on will not be enough. So how can we make rapid progress? I can only teach now. The bottle of soul-condensing pills given to me can only be taken for five days if taken in the morning and evening.
Shi Xuan was thinking about a solution to the problem as he spoke. When he heard Yu Ruoshui's words, a flash of inspiration flashed through him, and he thought of a temporary solution.
That is, what they want and what Meng Yuchang and the others think they want are probably not the same. In the eyes of people like Meng Yuchang, they are probably the kind of monks who need more time to take on tasks so that they can accumulate more good deeds, redeem more pills, and improve their cultivation with more goblins, because they themselves are like this He is a monk, but his family is better off and he has enough elixirs without accumulating good deeds.
But in fact, I don't need pills to improve my cultivation. All I need is my daily hard training. Therefore, Meng Yuchang and the others needed to be misled towards the previous idea.
Among the five major tasks, smelting materials and being a fire boy, but even the most basic training time cannot be guaranteed, which is something I absolutely don’t want to take on; the sect patrols, and only morning and evening classes are guaranteed for ten days in a month. For practitioners, it’s best not to accept it if you can; guarding the Yinfeng Cave and guarding the medicinal fields may seem time-consuming, but in fact there are very few things you need to do every day, just that you can’t move around, which just provides yourself with Enough training time.
After considering all the ideas, he was about to tell Yu Ruoshui when Yu Ruoshui asked first: "Junior Brother Shi, you look good and have a smile on your face, but have you thought of a way?"
"Exactly, but before that there is something I need to plead with Senior Sister Yu." Shi Xuan said sincerely.
"What's the matter?" Yu Ruoshui asked doubtfully.
After casting a spell to prevent others from eavesdropping, Shi Xuan said categorically: "That means temporarily alienating me."
"No! I, Yu Ruoshui, am not this kind of person!" Yu Ruoshui's cheeks turned red with anger.
Shi Xuan gestured to Yu Ruoshui to calm down: "Senior Sister Yu, please listen to me. It's just temporary, just a show. Meng Yuchang is mainly targeting me, and you are just saying it incidentally. As long as you alienate me, he will definitely not I am attacking you because this is a good example. Look, those who are close to Shi Xuan will have bad luck, but those who are far away from Shi Xuan will have better luck. "
After a pause, Shi Xuan continued: "Furthermore, I can't bear to let you fall into this situation. Involving my friends will only make me feel worse. Please help me, Senior Sister Yu, and I also advise Die." Junior Sister Lan. And if you are alienated from me, you can still get some troublesome news and remind me in turn to help me. This is no better than the three of you being isolated together. "
Shi Xuan's words made Yu Ruoshui's face soften. She sighed and said, "What you said is true, but from now on, in the eyes of others, I, Yu Ruoshui, will be a little person who follows the crowd, forgets his own interests, and betrays his friends." Forget it, for the sake of your friend, I will bear with these misunderstandings. But, Junior Brother Shi, how can you get out of this?"
"Then please ask Senior Sister Yu to whisper some of my complaints to some female monks you are familiar with." Shi Xuan did not intend to tell Yu Ruoshui his specific thoughts, because she was not a person who was good at lying. As for alienation, that's not a problem, because there will definitely be few opportunities to meet each other in the future, but if she is asked to help her lie, she may not be able to do it well, especially in front of the monks she is familiar with.
"Oh?" Yu Ruoshui frowned in confusion.
"Just say I'm complaining. The Wind Cave is no place for people."
"Let's just say that I secretly prayed that I would no longer be assigned to guard the Shadow Wind Cave and look after the medicine fields."
"Just saying that I occasionally murmured that if I was assigned to the task of smelting materials and being a firekeeper, it would actually be more cost-effective than other tasks. At least I would have metals, elixirs, materials, magic tools, etc. to exchange for good deeds, and it would not delay the elixir. Taking medicine leads to progress in cultivation.”
…………
He told Yu Ruoshui what he had thought up to mislead Meng Yuchang and them, but she only heard her frowning fiercely. Finally, comforted by Shi Xuan's "The mountain man has his own clever plan", he reluctantly accepted it with hesitation.
After arranging the strategies, Shi Xuan was also grateful for Yu Ruoshui and Yu Ruoshui's friendship, so he shared some of his experiences in spiritual practice with Yu Ruoshui. He heard Yu Ruoshui nod frequently and benefited a lot.
As for the truths Ming Qingyue told herself, which involved her misleading plan, she could only wait for Yu Ruoshui to spread her complaints and see the results, and then tell her about it.
However, the two of them felt that it was getting colder and colder.
