Chapter 58 This Disciple Is Not Honest
Li Yan noticed something, "Soul Lamp", what is this? He was about to ask about the Soul Lamp.
"Junior brother, not far ahead is where we live. I heard that there were many houses here before, but a hundred years ago, some disciples who worshipped Xiaozhu Peak just wanted to get the cultivation resources of Xiaozhu Peak. When they showed their talents, they were no longer willing to do such miscellaneous things in Xiaozhu Peak. Later, they all went to the other four peaks to practice spirit insects, formations, and alchemy. Master was furious and locked the peaks and only occasionally accepted disciples. As a result, the original houses here seemed to be too many. Master later used magic power to demolish as many as 70% to 80%. Now those places are used to cultivate spirit plants or other purposes, leaving only 20% to 30% of the houses."
Before Li Yan asked, Lin Daqiao slowed down his pace and pointed to a large area of dark houses in front.
Li Yan realized that they had come to a group of houses without realizing it. The spiritual energy here was surprisingly rich, and the air felt a little heavy. It was several times denser than the place down the mountain just now.
This group of houses was also built entirely of black bamboo. From a distance, they looked like independent small courtyards. Each courtyard was about five or six hundred meters apart. Between these adjacent courtyards were dark green bamboo leaves swaying in the wind. Green light crystals were slowly flowing and flickering, making it difficult for people outside the courtyard to see any situation in the courtyard. It seemed so lonely and quiet, and some places were covered by fog, covering that space.
Li Yan was in the secluded bamboo forest, and he couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy, as if his heart was swaying with the bamboo waves.
"Junior brother, there are about fifty empty courtyards here. You can pick any one. You will live in that courtyard alone in the future." At this time, Lin Daqiao's words broke the tranquility here, allowing Li Yan to recover.
"Oh, OK, OK, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Seven." Li Yan replied quickly.
So the two of them said no more, and they shuttled through the black bamboo forest, opening a courtyard door from time to time to go in and take a look.
After about a cup of tea, Li Yan and Lin Daqiao stood in a courtyard again. This was a more remote place in the entire group of houses, belonging to the northwest side of the group of houses. Although each courtyard was about a mile apart, and with the obstruction of the black bamboo forest in the middle, they could not see each other, but Li Fang still chose this more remote courtyard. There were no other people living in the front, back, or left here. The right side was the edge of the group of houses, and outside the courtyard was an endless sea of black bamboo. He liked the seclusion here very much.
Li Yan looked around everything in the courtyard and was very satisfied. He decided that he would live here. He thought that when he made this decision, Senior Brother Seven would say a few words because he chose a place that was too remote, but Lin Daqiao did not show any surprise, which surprised him a little. Later, he learned that most of the immortal cultivators did not like to be too close to others. The other peaks had too many disciples, and only the disciples above the foundation-building stage had the right to live in such a single-door courtyard. The other Qi Condensation disciples could only live in a single room adjacent to a cluster of buildings. This was also a clear difference between Xiaozhu Peak and the disciples of other peaks.
However, a hundred years ago, Xiaozhu Peak also had a large building complex dedicated to Qi Condensation disciples, and these courtyards were only reserved for cultivators above the foundation-building stage. It was just that the great peak master Wei later demolished all those houses, leaving only dozens of such courtyards.
The courtyard that Li Yan chose covers an area of about 40 meters, which is a large area. The courtyard wall is also made of densely interwoven bamboo fences more than 2 meters high. The house is also built with black bamboo, with a total of five rooms. The courtyard is spacious and quiet, with only a stone table and four stone benches in the middle. The sky above is half covered and half exposed by bamboo leaves extending from outside the courtyard. In the southwest corner of the courtyard wall, a small plantation has been cultivated, in which many blue flowers that Li Yan did not recognize grow. This flower is about one foot tall, with slender green leaves, and the flower body is emitting a clear orchid fragrance, which adds a hint of quiet orchid flavor to the air here.
Li Yan was looking at the bamboo courtyard. Lin Daqiao reached out to take Li Yan's storage bag and patted it. A white light flashed and he had an extra object in his hand. It was the waist badge that looked like gold but not gold and iron but not iron. He recited the spell and shook the waist badge in his hand. A black light came out of the badge and fell on the bamboo fence wall. Suddenly, a mist rose from the bamboo fence wall. The mist kept surging and spreading, but it only formed an encirclement along the fence wall, and did not seep into the courtyard at all. It enveloped the bamboo courtyard in a short while.
Li Yan stared at this scene blankly. He didn't know what the seventh senior brother was doing.
"Okay, you just need to drip blood on this waist badge to recognize the owner later." Looking at Li Yan's blank look, Lin Daqiao patted his shoulder.
"Each bamboo courtyard is protected by a formation. This waist badge is engraved with the magic that controls this formation. As long as you drip blood on this waist badge to recognize the owner, you can control this protective formation. However, one waist badge can only activate one formation. For example, although the waist badge on me also has the magic that controls this bamboo courtyard, it can only control the formation that it activates, which is the bamboo courtyard I live in.
The waist badge has other uses. It is engraved with the entry identification mark of the entire sect's protective formation. Otherwise, if you break in rashly, the formation will automatically launch an attack. Our protective formation is not like other sects that only use illusion, protection, and direct attack. The hidden unknown poisonous insects, poisonous gas, and poisonous fog are the most terrifying. Even the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage are afraid of it. "At this point, Lin Daqiao seemed to remember something, and his originally slightly dark skin turned pale. "Well, in short, you have to keep this waist badge well. If you lose it and go to the Deacon Hall to make up for it, you will be punished. Well, our bamboo courtyard protection formation is just an ordinary formation. It prevents others from breaking in rashly during normal practice, and plays a warning and protective role. This protection can almost resist the full force of a master in the early stage of foundation building. This is also extremely powerful. A full force attack by a master in the early stage of foundation building is estimated to destroy a small town of mortals. However, there is no master in the foundation building stage in this sect who is free to attack other people's protective formations. It is completely enough. Well, if you feel that it is not enough in the future, you can go to Sixth Senior Sister or the uncles and uncles of Four Elephants Peak and ask them to set up a new formation for you, which is much better than this one. "
Lin Daqiao briefly introduced this protective formation and the sect's protective formation. When Li Yan heard him mention Sixth Senior Sister at the end, he couldn't help but think of the tall, wheat-colored skinned short-haired cold beauty, and couldn't help asking, "Sixth Senior Sister also knows formations?"
Lin Daqiao patted Li Fang's shoulder again, which made Li Yan speechless, muttering in his heart, "We just met, why do you pat each other all the time. "
"Junior brother, our Xiaozhu Peak is a grocery store. Although we do logistical chores, we also learn a variety of skills. Sixth Senior Sister is not only good at formations, but also strong in single combat. Even Second Senior Brother is unwilling to fight with her too much. The uncles and uncles of Four Symbols Peak have wanted her to go there more than once, but she herself does not want to be like those peaks, only studying one way. She is afraid that if she goes to Four Symbols Peak, other skills will be delayed, although the formation is also unpredictable against the enemy. "
"Strong in single combat? Second Senior Brother is the one with strong combat power. "Although Li Yan remembered the explosive figure of the short-haired beauty under the long robe, he still couldn't imagine her fighting against the bear-like Second Senior Brother.
"Junior brother, let's go in. There are still many things to tell you. "Lin Daqiao didn't seem to want to say more, and walked towards the bamboo houses, pointing at them as he walked.
"These houses are generally enough for you to use. They are divided into a lounge, a practice room, a breeding room, an alchemy room, and a living room. Unless you have more hobbies, you need to build a bamboo house in this yard by yourself. Building a house is not difficult. You can learn it in half a day. It's just that you need to pay attention to the materials used for building the house.
Well, although there are servants who come to clean and take care of the spiritual plants in your uninhabited courtyard, they don't come here often. You can see that there is still some dust. Let my senior brother clean it for you. "Lin Daqiao said to himself. Seeing that the bamboo courtyard was not very clean, he waved his sleeves forward, and the doors of several houses opened at the same time. Then he quickly made a seal with his hands on his chest, and shouted "Go" softly. A white light flashed out and immediately turned into several wet whirlwinds, which rolled towards several rooms and the stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard. His movements were light and casual, and there was a sense of transcendence. A light "woooo" sound suddenly rang in the courtyard, and it disappeared after a few breaths.
"Okay, hehe," Lin Daqiao clapped his hands and laughed, and walked towards a house in the middle.
Li Yan looked at the stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard and his eyes lit up. The only dust on them just now had disappeared, and they were actually shiny after being wiped.
"This is the fairy art, but it can not only be used to fly and kill people. "Li Yan's curiosity about the immortal arts was even greater. When he turned around, Lin Daqiao had already stepped into the middle of the house. He hurriedly followed. This was a room about five or six feet wide, very spacious. There was a bamboo table with a set of tea sets and several tall bamboo chairs. The four walls were all blue and white, and there were no decorations hanging. Two large bamboo windows opened outwards, which was extremely simple. "This is the living room. The layout of the other rooms is also simple, basically just beds, futons and the like. We cultivators don't have high requirements for material possessions, especially the master doesn't like those luxurious things, haha." Lin Daqiao pulled a chair and sat down. At the same time, in a room in another bamboo courtyard about 10 or 20 miles away from this bamboo forest, a young man and woman were talking. "You, the new disciple, are not honest. You are very careful in doing things. He gave most of the matter of killing the military advisor to the marshal and his junior brother. I deliberately asked a few questions, and it was obvious that he answered after consideration. "
The beautiful woman in white palace dress looked at the fat young man and said with her eyes twinkling.
This young man and woman were the master and his wife that Li Yan had just worshipped.
"Ah, yes. Judging from the investigation results of the disciples of Lingchong Peak and the investigation of his background by the subordinate sects, most of the ambush should have been set by him, including the last blow. But today he didn't tell the truth and attributed it to others. A young man is like this. I thought about it and thought it might be related to what he had experienced. He has already distrusted and been wary of others." Wei Chongran shook his head helplessly.
"How much truth is there in what he said about cultivation? How much falsehood? Is there something hidden or all lies?" The woman blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at her husband.
"It is estimated that there will be reservations, and most of them are even false, but does it make a difference? It has been hundreds of millions of years, and the sect has been studying for so long, but we still can't know the reason for the formation of this physique? If we use soul-searching, we can get information from his brain, but this is not the result I want. Everyone has his own chance. He is a mortal boy. Why should he be taken away by others for the glimmer of life he has gained by risking his life? So I have to accept him, otherwise his end may be miserable. When he feels dependent on the sect in the future, I think he will tell it." At this point, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again. "To my sister, maybe I am not suitable for cultivating immortals. Master gave me this huge Xiaozhu Peak, and I ended up managing it like this. Seeing this child's experience, I actually felt compassion. Cultivating immortals, cultivating immortals, I really can't take the step of cutting off worldly feelings, maybe I can't have a baby in this life."
A pair of white tender hands slowly reached out and held the fat hand, "This is why I like you, because you have feelings and you have your own bottom line." The woman's eyes flashed with tenderness, and the next moment she snorted a little, like a playful girl.
"Humph, besides, you were not a good person back then, it was just about people and things. At that time, you..." The woman used her other jade hand to support her chin as if she was lost in memories.
