Chapter 450: Here Comes the One Who Shouldn't Come
For the game room, Ye Zan just informed Yu Chengjie to cooperate with Glenn's theater in promoting it, and did not make any special arrangements. After all, he could make a promotional film for a theater, but he couldn't make a promotional game for a game room. It's not really impossible, but the game is very about participation, so we can only add some promotional things in terms of props. Moreover, people who play the game may not notice the propaganda after being immersed in the game, so the effect must be very limited.
Although this game room is far less effective than a theater if it is used for publicity, it is still idle anyway, and it is better to have a little effect than to have no effect. Moreover, in the future publicity, the role played by this game room may not be worse than Tianbaozong's advertisement.
After making these arrangements, it can be said that "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", Ye Zan is waiting for the Wuzhu faction's action.
In fact, if the Wuzhu School develops normally, even if its popularity grows, it will not pose too much threat to Yu Qingzong. After all, in this world, the development of a sect is quite slow, which can be regarded as a characteristic of cultivating civilization.
For example, if a person enters the sect at the age of fifteen, it takes about ten years on average to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although, those who have the qualifications to be called geniuses may be able to build a foundation in three to five years, but they are very few after all. Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Realm is the foundation of a sect, but it is only a foundation. To really be able to contribute to the sect, it still needs a Golden Core Grandmaster.
And from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm, still taking an average time limit, it should be about twenty years. In other words, a disciple who started at the age of fifteen would have to go through 30 years of training before he could step into the Golden Core Realm and contribute to the sect. People like Wu Changsheng, Jin Dasheng, and Luo Jinniang basically went through such a process. When they were forty or fifty years old, they entered the Golden Core Realm and began to contribute to Yu Qingzong. That is to say, after spending thirty years cultivating a Golden Core Grandmaster, the strength of the sect can be regarded as increased by one point.
It stands to reason that the sect recruits disciples every year, so after some of the first batch of disciples become Golden Core Grandmasters, there should be new Golden Core Grandmasters every year. But the problem is, how can there be any reason for this kind of thing! Before Ye Zan came to Yuqingzong, Yuqingzong had existed for many years, but in the end, Mo Ruo was an ancestor of Yuanying, that is, Wu Changsheng and other three Jindan masters.
Not to mention the Yuqingzong back then, even the Yuqingzong who lacks almost everything now can't be promoted to the Jindan realm every year. After all, cultivating the Tao also depends on aptitude and chance, and it is not something that can be achieved simply by working hard.
Therefore, if the Wuzhu faction develops normally, it is really an almost impossible task if it wants to truly reach the level of posing a threat to Yu Qingzong. The exhibition of the Wuzhu School, is it true that the Yuqing Sect is not exhibiting? Moreover, given the current situation of Yu Qingzong, the speed of development is not comparable to that of Wuzhu School.
In the end, what Ye Zan was really afraid of was the mysterious force behind the Wuzhu faction. If there wasn't that mysterious force, Ye Zan wouldn't be bothered wasting energy on the Wuzhu Sect, even though the Wuzhu Sect has the support of Ziyang Sect and other second-rate sects.
When Ye Zan made these arrangements, hundreds of millions of miles away from Yu Qingzong, in a deserted forest, his disciple Shi Lin was sitting on the balcony of the wooden house, looking into the distance with unfocused eyes.
Ever since he heard that his master was going to take him to the sect, Shi Lin was both excited and apprehensive. He has lived alone in this deserted forest for several years. If he hadn't gotten that strange helmet by chance, he might have forgotten how to get in touch with others. However, even so, he still feels very uneasy about the fact that he will face more people and live with more people. After all, even after he had the helmet, the only people he came into contact with were his master, his junior sister, and the "turtle" who was supposed to be his junior.
People are like this, when they are impulsive, they don’t think about anything,
But when I am free, I have to think more. At that time, when he heard the news that he was going to be transferred to Yuqingzong, Shi Lin seemed impatient, but the more he thought about it these two days, the more worried he became. When it comes to Yuqingzong, will it still be the same as now, only in contact with the master? Listen to Master, Yu Qingzong went up and down, but there are thousands of people, how to get along with those people? What will those people be like, will they be as easy to get along with as Master, will they look down on themselves, will they...
In addition, Shi Lin has another worry, which is his own cultivation. He is not stupid, of course he knows that his cultivation progress has dissatisfied Master, otherwise Master would not suddenly take him to Yu Qingzong. However, he had no choice but to figure out what was wrong with him. If he went to the sect and found that he was not suitable for cultivation at all, wouldn't it be embarrassing!
Shi Lin had already packed his own things, and there was actually nothing left to pack, except for gifts for Master, Junior Sister and... Junior Brother, the rest were those things that Master sent. Although life in this barren mountain is actually quite difficult, the feeling of freedom and the confusion about the future still make him reluctant to leave here.
However, at this moment, there were a few strange noises in the sky. Shi Lin was awakened from his wild thoughts, and quickly raised his head to look at the sky. Through the gaps in the branches and leaves, he saw a few bright lights across the sky, falling towards the mountain not far in front.
Shi Lin knew that the light that streaked across the sky was the light of the ascetic's flying sword, so he couldn't help but think: Is the person sent by Master to pick me up already here?
Although, Ye Zan told Shi Lin that the person who would pick him up would be a senior from the sect. However, there is no question of how and whether it will come alone. However, Shi Lin didn't yell rashly, how could he not be vigilant when living in this barren mountain and wild ridge at his age.
Seeing the sword lights falling on the mountain not far away, Shi Lin got up and went back to the tree house to pick up his package, and jumped down with the Thousand Lights Sword in his hand. Speaking of it, since he practiced with Ye Zan, although he has not improved much in terms of cultivation, his control over the physical body has become stronger and stronger. In the past, he had to rely on rope ladders to get down from the tree house. Although there is no way to lighten himself now, he can jump tens of meters high without any damage.
After falling to the ground, Shi Lin shook the package on his back, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he walked towards the place where the sword lights fell.
Soon, through the gap between the trees, Shi Lin saw those monks. Among those ascetics, one held a compass-like magic weapon in his hand, looked at the magic weapon for a while, and looked up at the surroundings for a while, as if looking for a dragon to touch a cave. Moreover, it didn't take long for the person holding the compass magic weapon to lead several other people to a pile of stones.
Seeing the pile of stones, Shi Lin was startled, and then he remembered that this was the place where he saw the two gods fighting. And under the pile of stones are the two gods he buried, or they should be two ascetics now.
Although at the beginning, when Ye Zan asked Shi Lin how to get the helmet, Shi Lin described it very simply, that is, two gods fought and then picked up the helmet. However, the actual situation is really not that simple. It's not that Shi Lin deliberately concealed something, but that he really didn't think too much about it.
In fact, when the movement of the two ascetics fighting disappeared and Shi Lin came to this place, one ascetic had been torn apart and died, but the other ascetic still had a breath. The ascetic who was still breathing wanted to lure Shi Lin to come forward so that he could catch him and let him take him out. Fortunately, although Shi Lin lived here alone for several years, his vigilance was not lost because of this, so he killed the other party at a critical moment.
Those ascetics are also smart but were misled by their cleverness. If they had sincerely asked Shi Lin for help, they might have returned to their sect safely by this time. It can only be said that a person with a dirty heart looks like a dirty person. As a result, the dignified ascetic died in the hands of a mortal child.
Of course, even if there was no such thing as the stone forest, the ascetic who was seriously injured in this forest would have two outcomes, either he would die from serious injuries, or he would be eaten by wild beasts. You must know that this forest is unusual. Apart from ordinary wild beasts, monsters also often come out from the depths. From this, one can imagine how difficult life in the forest is for the young Shilin.
At this time, those ascetics had already removed the pile of stones, revealing the two corpses buried underneath.
Although Shi Lin had kind thoughts in his heart and let the two ascetics rest in peace, it was not enough for them to live in a single room. Anyway, these two people fought you to the death when they were alive, and they wouldn't be boring if they were buried together after they died. It can only be said that this stone forest is a child after all, if it is replaced by people who often travel to the rivers and lakes, even if these two ascetics are not destroyed, they will not leave their traces here at all.
Those cultivators could not help but sigh when they saw the corpse below, and then someone waved and moved the corpse out.
"It's him, the other one should be the buyer." One of the ascetics said in a deep voice.
"The magic weapon is missing. It seems that someone took advantage of it." Another ascetic took the treasure bags they carried with them from the two corpses and checked them.
Since Shi Lin hadn't worshiped Ye Zan as his teacher at that time, and didn't understand the methods of ascetics, he didn't notice the treasure bags on the two of them. When the two ascetics were fighting, maybe they took out the helmet to do something, which gave Shi Lin a chance to pick it up.
"Hehe, it's interesting, but you can still think about burying them." Another ascetic sneered and said, "Obviously, the person who took away the magic weapon was most likely an ignorant mortal who was attracted by noise."
Indeed, at least in the eyes of these ascetics, only ignorant mortals would have this method of letting the dead rest in peace. If they were themselves and encountered the same situation, they would definitely take the benefits and leave, and the ghost would care about the two corpses. And, more importantly, the treasure bags of the two corpses are still there. If the person collecting the corpses of the two is a monk, they will never miss the treasure bags.
"I remember when I came here, I passed a place, which seemed to be traces of someone's activities." Suddenly, the ascetic who was the first to speak said.
Hearing this, several other people immediately turned their gazes to the person who spoke. Obviously, they both understood what the other party meant. The magic weapon they were looking for was probably taken away by a mortal, so the person who took the magic weapon and the person who left the trace over there were probably the same person.
And at the same time, Shi Lin, who had been secretly spying on several ascetics, was shocked when he heard what the other said. He wasn't stupid, of course he could tell that these ascetics were probably looking for the helmet he had taken away. Return the helmet to the other party? Not to mention that he still needs to use the helmet to practice with his master. Looking at the appearance of those people, is it possible that he will be fine if he returns the helmet to them?
For Shi Lin's age to survive in this barren mountain, the biggest reliance is not a strong body, nor a clever mind, but a natural perception of danger. He himself doesn't know whether this is a kind of ability, but he knows that with this ability, he has survived countless crises.
But now, looking at those ascetics, Shi Lin clearly felt that the other party was definitely not a kind person, just like the poisonous snake in the forest gave him the feeling.
So... run!
Although Shi Lin wanted to run, he didn't turn around and run recklessly. Instead, he retreated slowly, wanting to get far enough away before running.
It's a pity that Shi Lin is a mortal after all, even if he has already started Qi refining, he is not much different from mortals. Moreover, he has never had real contact with ascetics, and he naturally knows very little about the methods of ascetics.
When the stone forest moved, even though it had reached the level of "quietness", there was still an almost inaudible sound, which was transmitted to the ears of those cultivators. Those cultivators who were able to fly to this place with their swords, how could they do it without the strength of the Golden Core Realm. As for Jindan Grandmaster, not only the sound of movement, but also the sound of breathing or even heartbeat from the stone forest, it is impossible to escape their ears.
"Boy, it's too late to run now!" Following these words, one of the ascetics turned to the direction of the stone forest, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
When Shi Lin heard the other party's words, he also knew that there was no need to tiptoe, so he turned around and was about to flee into the distance. However, when he turned around, he had to stop before taking two steps. It turned out that the disappearing ascetic was already standing in the direction of his escape.
