Chapter 56 The Bodhisattva
Yang Xiu had long faced life and death, and his state of mind was much calmer than others. The experience of breaking through the bottlenecks made Yang Xiu deeply understand that without a perseverance, he would not want to cultivate immortality.
After the name was completed, a total of six people died in the Tianshu Pavilion, one person was seriously injured, and five people died in the Xianmo Sect, and no one was seriously injured. The cultivators fought endlessly in the face of monsters. It was a blessing that the seriously injured disciple could escape back.
Next is the process of handing over the spoils.
It seemed that they were intentional to compete. The two sects each placed wooden tables on the open space. Liu Kunshan and Liu Wenzhong stood behind each other, Lin Shuangchen and Ouyang Jianqing stood on both sides, and they watched the disciples hand over the gains of this experience one by one.
"Wu Cen, the Xianmo Sect, half of the Fire Spirit Grass."
"Jiang Sanshui, Tianshu Pavilion, an unknown animal skin."
"Xianmo School Su Hu, a young body, Yueli grass."
"Xianmo Sect..."
...
One by one, the people from the Xianmo Sect received significantly more spoils and higher quality. More than half of them came down, and there were already a small pile of spoils on the table in front of Liu Kunshan, but there were very few in front of Liu Wenzhong.
Logically speaking, they are all new disciples, so there shouldn't be any gap in strength, but Yang Xiu knew some inside story.
The Xianmo Sect practices the ruthless immortal path. New disciples must undergo strict training from the beginning. Among the 100 disciples with good qualifications, half of them can be successfully promoted to the third level of body tempering.
Such a high elimination rate, although cruel, has fully experienced everyone's combat effectiveness. With this current advantage, it is not surprising that this situation occurs.
Liu Wenzhong seemed to have expected such a situation to happen, with his sleeves wrapped around his face calmly and without any angry look.
It was Yang Xiu's turn to be in the team. Under the gaze of everyone, Wu Kun carefully placed the cloth bag and brocade box on the table.
After steadily over the Tianshu Pavilion, the disciples of the Xianmo Sect were happy. When they saw Wu Kun's behavior, they sneered. Some of them laughed out loud when they saw Yang Xiu in the team.
The two disciples Yang Xiu scolded him a few nights ago could not raise their heads, which made Ouyang Jianqing look as if he was ashen. Everyone had long hated Yang Xiu. How could he let go of this opportunity of sarcasm?
Liu Xian was the first to be unhappy and pointed at the other party's nose and cursed: "Why are you quarreling? Why are you showing off after taking half of the Fire Spirit Grass? You are not afraid of the wind and flashing your tongue."
Everyone in Tianshu Pavilion also cursed loudly. Yang Xiu himself was good at making friends, and he praised him well in Tianshu Pavilion. The other party laughed at him in person. How could the young people still bear it? The scene was noisy and very lively for a while.
Liu Wenzhong said nothing and slowly reached into the bag. When the light golden leaves appeared from the mouth of the bag, Liu Kunshan's eyes were condensed, and the noise became much smaller.
When Liu Wenzhong took out the second pure Yang grass, no one spoke from the Xianmo Sect. Instead, it was Liu Xian's turn to laugh out loudly with everyone.
"Yes, the medicine is relatively young, and the one who protects the herbs should be the small water rope snake, but it is already very rare." Liu Kunshan's bald head shone in the torch light, and his face was expressionless when he spoke. I don't know if it was really praise or ridicule.
Liu Wenzhong seemed to have not heard of it, so he put away the spirit grass and opened the closed and tight brocade box. The moment he saw the snake gall in the box, Liu Wenzhong finally smiled on his face and said to Liu Kunshan: "Senior, please tell me if this snake gall is one hundred years old?"
As soon as these words were said, Liu Kunshan's face turned strangely black. He glanced at the dark red snake gall. He didn't mention the feeling of being frustrated: he just said that they were all small snakes, and the other party took out a snake gall that had been more than a hundred years ago. Isn't this a slap in the face in person!
Now the disciples of Tianshu Pavilion were completely proud.
Two pure yang grasses and a hundred-year-old snake gallbladder. The Xianmo Sect's all spoils are not valuable even if these two things are worth it~
Everyone was very excited. Looking at the discouraged faces of the Xianmo Sect, they were relieved.
Disciples who are interested have noticed that in recent times, the Tianshu Pavilion has overwhelmed the Xianmo Sect, it seems that Yang Xiu has participated. Among the disciples of both sects, Yang Xiu has been invisibly named "Xianmo Sect Nemesis".
As soon as the Pure Yang Grass and Snake Gallbladder came out, the subsequent spoils could no longer attract everyone's attention. The small spoils display ceremony soon ended with the proud laughter of the disciples of the Tianshu Pavilion.
...
After nightfall, the disciples were very tired and returned to their room to rest early.
Yang Xiu, who was meditating on the bed, opened his eyes and saw that Liu Xian was sleeping across the street, got off the bed with ease, left the room and came to the deck of the Lingzhou.
The four outside the spiritual boat was reflected by torches. Yang Xiu looked down at him and confirmed that there was no one around him. Then he couldn't wait to take out the white pendant he got during the day and observed it carefully. The expression on his face kept changing, obviously very shocked.
How could this thing appear here?
The white pendant is the size of a walnut and is flat. It is carved on it. A female Guanyin with kind eyes, meditating and making gestures is ninety-sixth-slightly similar to what is on the earth.
Guanyin!
How could there be Guanyin Bodhisattva in this world?
Unlike on the earth, this world does not have the myths and legends of ancient China. What people in the secular world worship and yearn for is not the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but the cultivators who can see and touch them.
Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, Zhenyuan Daxian... These mythological figures do not exist in this world at all.
The ancient temple where Yang Xiu rescued Hu Zi before, the statue of the god worshipped inside was also a certain immortal cultivator from Shanyin City, not a land father-in-law.
But what happened to the pendant in your hand?
Perhaps this is the unique culture of the wilderness aboriginal people. The human civilization in the green basin has no intersection with these people, so no one has heard of it.
Perhaps this is just a coincidence. The character on the pendant is not a Bodhisattva at all, but the shape of a certain predecessor of immortal cultivation.
There are too many possibilities, but it cannot erase Yang Xiu's doubts. Yang Xiu vaguely feels that he has touched the edge of a huge secret, but cannot think of a reasonable explanation.
The only way I can think of is to wait until my cultivation is high enough in the future and then go to the indigenous tribe in the wilderness to find out.
But how many secrets are hidden in this world?
...
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning the spiritual boat set sail again and continued to head north.
This trial was just a small test. In the next half month, the spiritual boat landed several times. Every time, the disciples had to come out and explore the surrounding wilderness.
The further you go, the stronger the monsters you encounter. However, Liu Wenzhong also offers a reward. As long as you go far enough and persist for a long enough time, you will receive a generous reward.
Yang Xiu's team is average, but Wu Kun is sophisticated and mature, Lu Tiantu is very strong, and with the encyclopedia of Yang Xiu, he returns smoothly every time without any danger.
In the blink of an eye, the forty-three disciples lost nearly 30%, and the remaining thirty disciples were truly experienced. Compared with the ignorant and excited at the beginning, each person had a calm temperament on his face.
Life and death, blood and tears bring people's training that is absolutely incomparable to meditation and practice. In just one month, these disciples' cultivation will not improve significantly, but their chances of success when breaking through bottlenecks in the future will increase greatly.
The team where Yang Xiu is located is very lucky. Wu Kun and Lu Tiantu have solid cultivation. In addition, Yang Xiu secretly protects Liu Xian and Zhang Wan, and it is rare that there is no reduction in staff.
After counting this trip, everyone received at least 200 spirit stone rewards. In addition, two pure yang grasses are of great value. No one can get the reward of two fire spirit pills, which is envious to others.
The spiritual boat headed north, and human movements slowly appeared in the scenery below. The villages and neat fields replaced the ash swamps, and everyone's mood also became relaxed.
The past month has been facing killing and death, and I am very nervous and vigilant every day, and I feel solemn. Now that I leave the Great Wilderness, it seems that the air is filled with a sweet smell. The disciples walked out of the room and rushed to the deck, enjoying the exotic scenery around.
As the spiritual boat moved forward, the scenery below gradually changed from town fields to mountains and forests. After an hour, the sun sets westward, and a beautiful mountain finally appeared in the public eye.
This mountain has only one main peak, which is extremely wide and wide. From a distance, it looks like it lies across the heaven and earth, extremely majestic.
The upper half of the mountain is shrouded in clouds, and the lower half is full of lush forests. Several waterfalls of different sizes fall from the air and disappear into the woods like white silk, which is extremely beautiful.
And if you look closely, there is a golden light hidden on Fanjing Mountain, which is mixed in the clouds and shining brightly. It is said that a master of enlightenment sat here a thousand years ago, adding a light and spiritual atmosphere to Fanjing Mountain, which is already rich in spiritual energy, is of great benefit to the cultivation of immortality.
"This is Fanjing Mountain,"
Yang Xiu looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and sighed at Liu Xian beside him, "You can feel the pure spiritual energy floating in the mountains so far away. It is really a blessing in the cave."
Liu Xianshen nodded with approval, and his round face was full of longing: "The first holy place for cultivation in Ningguo is indeed well-known~ If you can practice here for a few years, would you still worry about not being able to break through the body tempering period?"
All the disciples looked at Fanjing Mountain in the distance with curiosity and whispered. Liu Wenzhong and Lin Shuangchen also stood at the bow of the boat, with a relaxed expression. After a moment, several sword lights appeared in Fanjing Mountain and flew towards the spiritual boat from afar.
Seeing this, Liu Wenzhong and Lin Shuangchen immediately flew up, gathered with the people from the Xianmo Sect in the air, and greeted the visitors.
At this time, the sky was clear and the vision was excellent. Yang Xiu looked around and saw that there were many huge flying objects gathering in Chaofanjing Mountain, all of which were immortal cultivation sects from all over Ningguo.
"Yang Xiu, look, what is that!" Liu Xian suddenly exclaimed.
"Damn, what a big king, eight!" Yang Xiu turned his head and blurted out.
Looking in the direction of Liu Xian's finger, on the east side of the spiritual boat, a huge spiritual beast floated in the air!
The spirit beast looked like a huge sea turtle, which was even bigger than the spirit boat under everyone's feet. The huge head was covered with scales, and two slender flesh whiskers were on each side of the mouth. It was windless and extremely powerful. It was the first time that everyone saw such a spirit beast, and they exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Shuangchen was back from negotiating with the other party at this time, and happened to hear Yang Xiu screaming, frowning slightly, "Yang Xiu, don't talk nonsense. That is one of the mountain-protecting beasts in Yulingzhai, Qiyun Dragon Turtle, and its lifespan has exceeded twelve Jiazi."
Yang Xiu grinned at Lin Shuangchen and looked back at the king. Ba's eyes were less mocking and more serious.
Twelve Jiazi are over seven hundred years old. The strength of the spirit beast is proportional to its age. I don’t know how terrifying the strength of this Yunlong Turtle is.
Generally speaking, after the Qihai Period, monsters can be initially transformed into human form, but turtle-like spirit beasts are an exception. They have too long lifespan and their cultivation level grows slowly. At the earliest, they have to endure the stage of rebirth before they can transform.
This also makes it difficult to see human forms transformed into spiritual turtles and beasts in the world. Once they appear, they are all powerful people with great cultivation.
In addition to this domineering turtle, there are various other spiritual beasts around them from time to time to catch the wind. Some look like sheep and horses on the auspicious clouds, pulling a huge carriage; some sects sit directly on the back of a golden bird flying over, which is extremely cool.
The value of the spirit beast is much higher than that of the spirit boat, and the latter is even more incomparable to the former when fighting. Looking through this way, the strength of the Tianshu Pavilion can be considered inferior in the entire Ningguo.
The spiritual boat moved forward all the way, and slowly entered the Fanjing Mountain Realm under the guidance of the disciples. With the rich spiritual energy coming towards us, the magnificent pavilions and towers, high mountains and flowing water. Just looking at the Nanshan Gate, the scale is more than ten times larger than the Tianshu Pavilion.
While everyone on the spiritual boat was excited, they sighed in their hearts. No wonder the people from Fanjing Mountain were so arrogant last time when they went to their own sects, and they had the capital to be arrogant. In such a place, their daily cultivation efficiency alone was 10% higher than that of Tianshu Pavilion.
Thinking of this, everyone inevitably feels a little inferior. Liu Wenzhong stood at the bow of the boat and glanced at him. How could he not understand everyone’s thoughts? It is necessary to come out to broaden his horizons. As for whether he can gain something, it depends on his personal fortune.
