Chapter 81 Disciples Gather and Wait for the Skyboat
Thirty days later, in the courtyard of the Fangcao Building, Master Ming Zong was assessing the spells learned by his apprentices.
"I'll count to three, and you immediately release the knife-blocking earth figurine curse. One...two...three!"
After the master's last three voices fell, Zheng Qiu immediately put his hands into his sleeves, and took out a piece of white paper and a pen covered with a bamboo sleeve. Then he bent his right thumb, flicked the flying bamboo sleeve, and drew the spell pattern as fast as possible.
Brushing, brushing, he knew every stroke of the spell pattern by heart, and he finished it in the blink of an eye.
Then Zheng Qiu clamped the pen between the ring finger and little finger of his left hand, stretched his right hand into his sleeve again, and took out three brown heaven and earth crystals. Kacha, Kacha, he pressed his fingers vigorously, and with only his right hand, he skillfully broke the three heaven and earth crystals.
At the same time, he wrapped the three fragments of the heaven and earth crystals with the white paper on which the incantation pattern was drawn, threw them on the ground with a snap, and recited the mantra aloud.
"The sky is in all directions, the gods have orders, and the clay is made of figurines to take my shape. Water and fire are hard to get close to, and swords and soldiers don't touch clothes."
After Zheng Qiu finished reciting the formula, a cloud of yellow-brown mist suddenly appeared on the white paper, and the mist rose immediately, revealing the texture of soil. Then the soil condensed with each other to form a clay figurine that was half a head taller than Zheng Qiu.
The clay figurine has a nose and eyes, and it is exactly the same as Zheng Qiu's clothes and appearance, but it holds a square shield in both hands, and looks straight ahead with angry eyes.
Master Ming Zong walked up to the clay figurine, stretched out his hand and patted it, fluttering, there was no mud scattered, and it was quite solid.
He nodded to express his satisfaction, and said, "That's right, the improvement is obvious, and the release speed should be comparable to that of lifting Qi with exercises."
Hearing the master's praise, Zheng Qiu was very happy: "Master, then I can follow!"
"Well, I can. But..."
Master Mingzong bent down, pulled up his apprentice's sleeve, and pointed out the shortcomings, "You put the pen and paper in the sleeve, and then take it out when casting a spell. This process takes too much time. It's better to hang two openings on the belt Put the paper and pen in the wooden box, so that it can be used more quickly.”
"That's right, the master is really good, I'm going to get two wooden boxes right now."
The clay figurines summoned by the spell did not last long. Just as the master and apprentice were talking, the clay figurines collapsed to the ground and slowly dissipated into a brown mist.
The day when Jueqing Suixinzhuang holds a congratulatory banquet is just around the corner, because the two sects are far apart, Qian Yunzong has to leave two days in advance to catch up.
Early in the morning, Zheng Qiu left Fangcao Peak and rushed to Tianzhou Square through the thick fallen leaves on the avenue.
In Tianzhou Square at this time, all kinds of Tianzhou were moved around, far away from the one parked in the middle. The sky boat is also the shape of two plates put together, but it is bigger and more beautiful.
On the silver-gray metal casing, red copper patterns form clouds, and at the junction of clouds, there are also colorful lamp stones embedded, releasing soft fluorescence. Zheng Qiu can imagine how it flies in the night sky, absolutely like the stars in the night sky.
He looked around a few times, walked to the bottom of the sky boat, and waited with his back against the iron pillar of the boat platform. The master asked him to come to Tianzhou Square to wait first, while he went to Caiyunfeng to find the suzerain.
After a while, a young man fell from the sky. He tidied up his imperial uniform and went straight to the Tianzhou in the middle of the square.
Walking to the bottom of the sky boat, he saw a little boy leaning against the iron pillar. The boy was wearing a blue cloud-pattern uniform and was a formal disciple.
"What is Junior Brother doing here? This is not a Tianzhou going to the station."
The young man walked over and pulled the boy away from the iron pillar, urging him to leave quickly: "Don't stay here, the elders will definitely be angry when they see you later. Go, go..."
Unexpectedly, the boy shook his head and refused to leave. Instead, he told the young man that he was waiting for his master.
The young man couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Why are you like this? I kindly persuade you, but you don't appreciate it? Today is a big event for the sect. If you don't leave, I will drive you away!"
"Guan Conghui,
What are you losing your temper with? "
At this time, another figure fell from the sky. This person's voice was very familiar. Zheng Qiu walked around the young man named Guan Conghui and looked behind him. He was indeed an acquaintance.
"Senior Brother Shao Wei!" Zheng Qiu raised his hand and waved to greet his senior brother.
Shao Wei came over, touched Zheng Qiu's head and smiled, "Hahaha, I knew you would be here."
These two sentences made Guan Conghui feel confused, he put away his annoyance and asked Shao Wei: "Shao Wei, do you know this kid?"
"Of course I know him. His name is Zheng Qiu. I met him when I was punished by my master to see the mountain gate." Thinking of the situation at that time, Shao Wei smiled even more, "Now he is the apprentice of the elder Ming Zong, the elder Ming Zong Just this one apprentice."
Hearing this, Guan Conghui finally understood that Zheng Qiu didn't come here to mess around, he was just a disciple going to the banquet.
Guan Conghui apologized generously to Zheng Qiu: "Junior brother, I'm sorry, I was reckless just now, I hope you don't mind what I said that was not pleasant."
Zheng Qiu quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't know senior brother just now."
The misunderstanding was eliminated, and the three stood under the sky boat, waiting for the arrival of others.
While waiting, Guan Conghui asked Shao Wei in a low voice: "You said that Zheng Qiu is the apprentice of Elder Ming Zong, why?"
Shao Wei glanced at him: "I don't know, anyway, it's the first time I take him to see the elder, and the elder is still angry."
As time passed, the disciples who participated in the congratulatory banquet rushed to Tianzhou Square one after another, and Senior Brother Shao Wei made an introduction, and the misunderstanding just now never happened again.
Zheng Qiu counted, excluding himself, there are eleven people in total, these eleven people are male and female, all older than himself. The senior brothers and sisters were very interested in Zheng Qiu, and they all speculated about the reason why Elder Ming Zong accepted his apprentice.
A senior sister specially persuaded Zheng Qiu: "Junior brother, I advise you to change your master as soon as possible, the elder Ming Zong is unreliable."
Zheng Qiu felt very strange, why is the master so unreliable?
The senior sister explained: "Elder Ming Zong does research every day. All the disciples in the sect know that he has been stuck in the Qi Yao Realm for decades without making any progress. Many senior disciples have already reached this level of cultivation. .”
A senior brother next to him nodded in agreement: "Yeah, he can't even pass the threshold of transforming the gods, and he is really a bit embarrassing as an elder."
Even Guan Conghui echoed: "Zheng Qiu, if you want to cultivate yourself to be extraordinary, the experience taught by your master is extremely important. Elder Ming Zong has not been able to break through to the realm of transformation for so many years, and his cultivation experience is definitely not as good as that of other elders." .”
The senior brothers and sisters all said that the master was not good, and Zheng Qiu became angrier the more he heard it. He covered his ears and shook his head vigorously. "I don't listen, I don't listen! Master is definitely not what you said, don't listen..."
He shouted and ran towards the avenue leading to Tianzhou Square in the Zong. The master is not like this, the master is so powerful, they must be lying to me, yes, they are all lying to me, and want me to leave the master.
Zheng Qiu ran forward all the way, he didn't want to stay with these brothers and sisters, he wanted to find Master Ming Zong.
