Chapter 120, Xinglin Villa, next
Hearing the words of Elder Ziyi, everyone couldn't help but feel excited, ready to get up.
This is the time they are most looking forward to. Everyone has their own questions to ask, and everyone has their own doubts to get answers. Therefore, everyone is rushing to be the first, and everyone is afraid of falling behind.
"I……!"
"I'll do it first..."
"Why is it you? I'll raise my hand first..."
Seeing this, the old man in purple was also helpless. He reached out and pointed casually, "Don't worry, everyone has a chance. You, come first..."
"ah……"
The first question asked was the boy in red. He saw that he froze first, then ecstatic, and pointed at himself, and asked inconfidently: "Me?"
"Yes, just you. If you have any questions, just ask..."
“Yes, yes…”
Tong Haoge, a boy in red, nodded in panic, his eyes turned, obviously thinking about the first question and asking what to ask.
His eyes flashed across everyone, and seeing everyone staring at him enviously, he felt proud for a moment, but the problem was too late to think of for a long time. Everyone was stunned for a long time and did not speak. Finally, they couldn't bear it and urged one by one: "Have you thought about it, hurry up..."
"Yes, everyone is still waiting..."
"I, I..." The boy in red face turned red. He was stunned for a while, and his eyes suddenly looked at the elder in purple who was heading up. Seeing his kind expression, his expression suddenly calmed down, and finally thought of his own problem.
He was a little nervous and hesitant, but finally gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage and said, "Elder, is it true that you said that there are divine tigers around my Xinglin Villa moved the ancestors and guarded them day and night?"
"Well……"
Elder Ziyi was obviously stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that the first question he wanted to ask was actually this. The others immediately booed, and several people couldn't bear it and even laughed out loud.
The boy in red face turned redder, but he stubbornly raised his head and stared at the old man in purple. Obviously, this question is extremely important to him.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised. Elder Ziyi smiled and shook his head, but when he saw his serious expression, he replied: "Yes, there are indeed two divine tigers in my Xinglin Villa, but they were not influenced by the ancestor. Instead, they were brought from the depths of Xingshan Mountain by the ancestor. They are still in the back mountain of my Xinglin Villa, guarding there day and night, and no one is allowed to get close to it."
"Ah, still here..."
This time, not only the boy in red, but the other seven people who were not interested could not help but open their eyes widened in surprise. One of them muttered: "The ancestor has passed away for hundreds of years. The two divine tigers have followed him from the beginning. Now, how old are they?"
"hehe……"
Although the disciple spoke very softly, the elder Ziyi still heard clearly.
He was not annoyed, and looked at the talking disciple with a smile and said, "You guessed it right. These two divine tigers have been around for nearly a thousand years since they followed my first generation of Xinglin Villa more than 800 years ago. They are the longest-lived existences in my Xinglin Villa."
"Now, they are not only the guardian beasts of Xinglin Villa, but also the auspicious and symbols of Xinglin Villa, and they are extremely powerful. They almost reached the late stage of the Demon King and are close to the realm of Heaven and Man among us humans." "For more than 800 years, Xinglin Villa has been through several generations of green and yellow, and it is because of these two holy beasts. The reputation of our Xinglin Villa has been maintained and slowly developed."
"So, we should not serve them like we serve two ordinary monsters, but rather as we serve our elders, and we should maintain sufficient respect and respect from beginning to end."
“Ah…yes…”
Everyone was surprised and shocked, and then they all thought that they obviously did not expect that the years these two divine tigers had passed by were so long and their cultivation was so high.
However, it is not surprising that it was captured by the first ancestors, and after hundreds of years, it has been known to human nature and has been able to cultivate to such a state.
Thinking of two such magical existences in Xinglin Villa, everyone couldn't help but yearn for a while.
Elder Ziyi obviously saw through the thoughts in everyone's hearts, and did not stop them. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, this topic will stop here. If you have the chance in the future, you will naturally have the chance to meet the two old men. Next, the second question, please ask..."
After saying that, his eyes turned and he pointed at the young man in blue.
The young man in green clothes, Yang Chen, smiled slightly, not at all as a cramp or nervous as the boy in red, saw him think for a while, and then asked: "Elder, do I need to participate in the blood demon frontline battle every three years?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Ziyi was slightly surprised. He glanced at the young man in green, and then slowly spoke: "No, the responsibility of an ordinary disciple is to practice well, lay a solid foundation, and learn enough alchemy knowledge. Only after you become a true inner disciple can you go to the front line of the Blood Demon, receive experience, and obtain a certain number of human merits."
"but……"
Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "My disciples in Xinglin Villa, even those of the inner sect, go to the front line of the blood demon, are mostly auxiliary, and few of them go directly to the battlefield. The real main force and need to be close contact with monsters are the other five major sects, especially the three major sects that are mainly engaged in combat power, including Baodao Pavilion, Hongye Ghost City, and Wushang Qiufeng Pavilion."
"And this is entirely determined by the special attributes of my disciples in Xinglin Villa. My disciples in Xinglin Villa mostly focus on alchemy, auxiliary and treatment, while Qi refining is just auxiliary. Unlike the other five sects, therefore, in each blood demon frontline trial, my disciples in Xinglin Villa have always fallen at the least number of six sects, and their life protection is also the safest."
"Of course, this has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the strength of my Xinglin Villa can be preserved to the maximum extent. The disadvantage is that I have not experienced the tempering of true blood and fire. My Xinglin Villa disciple may be far superior to the other five sects in the alchemy, but in real battles, it is more than one of the other five sects."
"Um."
After listening to the words of Elder Ziyi, the young man in green fell silent. After a while, he smiled slightly and bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you, elder, I have been taught, and I have finished asking my questions."
After saying that, sit down again.
Elder Ziyi glanced at him deeply, then turned around and pointed at the other person, saying, "The third question is Zhuo Yixing, come on..."
...
Time passed minute by minute, and in the cave, everyone asked the questions in their hearts one by one. Many of the doubts were answered one by one.
The fire was extinguished and flickered, reflecting eight young faces. At this moment, no matter whether everyone's expressions were aloof or calm, cold or proud, they all seemed so energetic.
Elder Ziyi looked at them as if he saw himself in the past. No matter how tricky the questions asked by everyone were or how slutty they were, he patiently answered them one by one, and the other two alchemists also sat aside with a smile, without saying much.
The whole scene is full of joy.
However, such time was short after all. Soon, a night passed and the eastern sky began to turn white. The heavy rain finally stopped.
Everyone walked out of the cave where they were hiding from the rain last night. In the distance, a rainbow hangs between the waterfalls in the mountains, like a divine bridge, hanging high in the sky, looking so gorgeous and dazzling.
All the disciples couldn't help but look up, and their eyes were filled with a sense of brilliance. It seemed that the conversation last night was still unsatisfied. None of the eight people felt tired, and they still looked brilliant.
However, the time for departure finally came. In the next two months, they never had a day to rest, and such time would never be there again.
However, this day, perhaps until many years later, when they almost forgot their original intention of practicing Taoism and occasionally dreamed of it at midnight, the joy of this night was still buried deep in their hearts.
...
Two and a half months later, the carriage that Tang Gu, Shui Xue and others finally drove into Nanxing County where Xinglin Villa is located.
More than ten days passed.
This day.
When Tang Gu woke up from his practice, he suddenly realized that they had arrived at the foot of a mountain.
The entire mountain is completely covered by endless apricot trees. Although it is not the season for apricot blossoms to bloom, there are still some valleys deep in the mountains, because the four seasons are like spring, and the apricot blossoms bloom together, like white clouds.
This is the case in this season, not to mention that in March and April every year, the "Xingshan Mountain" is full of apricot trees. When it blooms together, how spectacular and beautiful the scene should be.
Everyone was a little amazed, and the carriage walked slowly along a bluestone path laid out in the middle of these apricot trees.
The path winds and turns into the depths of the mountains, and finally, the carriage stops in front of two huge white stone tablets.
Two stone tablets, one on the left and one on the right, were like "shuangfeng" standing in the middle, and a pedestrian path was empty, and the car could no longer move.
Everyone had already got off the car, and in the carriage in front, the three elders were already waiting for them on the ground. When they saw them coming down, they smiled and pointed to the two stone tablets in front of them and said, "No, look, Xinglin Villa has arrived!"
"Um?"
Everyone was shocked, and then looked up at the white stone tablet in front of them. They saw that the four big characters "Xianguo Xingyuan" were engraved on the left; the four big characters "Xinglin Villa" were engraved on the right.
Below it, there is a small couplet.
The couplet faces the left is, "The wind is clear under the apricot, and I dare to be proud of the scattered people and discuss the troubles of the people." On the right is: "The tea in the pavilion is hot, don't laugh and talk about the national worries."
The signature is - Dong Feng, a real person from Bashi.
Seeing these six words, like a dragon flying and a snake walking, and was about to break through the sky, everyone was shocked, and then they felt a heat flow that couldn't help but rise from their chests, and their bodies stood straight.
Imagine the scene where the predecessor stood in front of these two huge stone tablets, wrote and erected the thousand-year medical order of Xinglin Villa. Everyone couldn't help but feel in love, and they were all in a daze.
Seeing their appearance, the old man in purple did not urge him and smiled slightly until they all came to their senses and took them up the mountain.
ps: Sorry, it's a little late.
