When Xi Xuerou came to Wuyan Peak to pick up Su Xing, she was riding a young blue-feathered white crane. Its back area was not as spacious as that of an adult white crane. Obviously, the girl did not consider how to distribute such a narrow space if the two of them rode together.
space.
Fortunately, Su Xing discovered this in advance and whistled to call the other white crane in time before his senior sister pulled him onto the white crane's back, thus avoiding possible embarrassment.
The two rode cranes one behind the other and quickly arrived at the main peak of Zhentian Peak.
The roads on Zhentian Peak are not complicated, and there are stone monuments marking the forks leading to different places, so the two of them arrived at the place where the martial arts meeting was held without much effort.
Several disciples of Zhentian Peak specially built a very spacious tea house in an open space on Zhentian Peak. It was not only elegantly decorated, but also had extremely exquisite interiors. You could tell at a glance that it was not cheap.
When Su Xing followed Xi Xuerou and pushed open the wooden door of the teahouse, three senior brothers were already sitting at a long table inside.
"Su Xing has met senior brother."
Su Xing bowed his hands to the three of them one by one, and everyone returned the greeting.
After Xi Xuerou placed Su Xing on an empty seat, the second senior brother Zhou Pingcai said with a gentle expression: "Elder brother has been preparing for a breakthrough recently, so I will host today's martial arts meeting."
Everyone nodded in unison, while Xi Xuerou let out a sigh: "Is Senior Brother really going to abandon us and step into the spiritual realm alone?"
"What does abandonment mean?" Zhou Ping smiled and rolled his eyes at his junior sister. "Senior brother is the most senior among us. Isn't it normal to be the first to step into the spiritual realm? We should say less sarcastic words and pray more for our senior brother.
That’s right.”
Hearing Zhou Ping's gentle scolding, Xi Xuerou said "Oh", lowered her head and stopped talking.
Su Xing was a little surprised when he heard this. Regarding the soul power realm of these senior brothers and sisters, because they were all wood-type martial arts disciples with extremely sensitive spiritual senses, he naturally did not dare to use their spiritual senses to explore.
What he didn't expect was that Luo Qingyun, the senior brother of Zhentian Peak, was already preparing to enter the spiritual realm. He knew that there were differences between mortal spirits in the realm of soul power. Practitioners who were promoted to the spiritual realm, even
Spiritual consciousness can be used as one of the means of combat.
After secretly marveling, the martial arts meeting hosted by Zhou Ping officially began.
"Participation in the weekly martial arts meeting is voluntary. Generally, we will gather here when we have nothing to do to exchange and discuss recent situations and experiences. Along the way of cultivation, martial artists must also learn to learn from the strengths of others."
Zhou Ping calmly explained to Su Xing.
Su Xing nodded, mentally agreeing with the approach of the disciples of Zhentian Peak.
The existence of the martial arts association not only allows everyone to exchange experiences and discoveries in practicing martial arts secrets, but also provides a platform for everyone to get acquainted with each other, so that they, the martial arts disciples, will not be too isolated along the way.
"You have just joined our mountain sect. It is your first time in the martial arts association. There is no need to share. Just sit aside and listen to what your senior brothers and sisters have to say. Of course, if you don't understand something, you can talk about it later.
Come out and see if we can help you."
The second half of Zhou Ping's words made Su Xing's heart warm. He looked at the senior brothers and sisters next to him and found that they also nodded towards him, showing affirmative expressions.
Perhaps it was precisely because there were so few disciples in Zhentian Peak that everyone could maintain such a state of unity and mutual assistance. This was something he would never dare to think about in the outer mountains.
Seeing the second senior brother Zhou Ping'an calming down Su Xing, the third disciple Ren Feiyu reached out and patted the table and coughed twice to attract everyone's attention.
"While traveling a few days ago, I accidentally heard in the mountain city that several major sects in Linzhou seemed to want to hold a private competition before the hundreds of sects competed."
"Oh?" Fourth disciple Wu Cang's eyes lit up, "Although this sounds interesting, there are more than a dozen sects in Linzhou, large and small. Who will be responsible for holding the competition?"
"That's true," Zhou Ping nodded, "and even if some sects are willing to organize competitions, if they don't come up with treasures that can attract everyone as rewards, I'm afraid there won't be many people participating."
Ren Feiyu's words were quickly forgotten.
"Hey, brothers, I heard something rather strange."
Xi Xuerou suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Several disciples who have just returned from Lingwu Peak told me that a strange thing happened in the north of Linzhou."
"Strange thing?"
"Exactly. They said that in a remote mountain city in the north, all the residents disappeared overnight and the entire city turned into an empty city. It wasn't until a few days later that someone knocked on the city door but got no response and opened the city door without permission that they discovered this."
"What do you mean all the residents have disappeared?" Wu Cang frowned.
"To be able to take away so many people in one night, it must not be caused by ordinary things. Those who have this ability can only be martial arts practitioners." Zhou Ping said.
"I agree," Ren Feiyu nodded, "but why would a martial artist take so many mortals away? Could it be that they are members of the Demon Cult? But as far as I know, our Omori Dynasty has done a pretty good job in tracking down the Demon Cult in recent years.
, at least in the past twenty years, there has not been a single case of a demonic cult committing a crime within the dynasty."
"Did those disciples say anything else?" Zhou Ping looked at Xi Xuerou.
"They said that the Dynasty Detective Department in Qingzhou Maple City has begun investigating the matter. Recently, the area near the northern mountain city has been sealed off and no one is allowed to pass."
"The detective department of the dynasty? In that case, this matter will surely be investigated and come to light soon." Xi Xuerou's words made Ren Feiyu feel more at ease.
The Dynasty Detective Department is a unique military department of the Omori Dynasty among the five dynasties. The purpose of its establishment is to track down the demon cult members within the dynasty. It is precisely because the Detective Department is a unique department of the Omori Dynasty that the entire dynasty ensures dozens of
A situation that has not been troubled by demonic religions for many years.
And if the devil is really causing trouble in the northern mountain city this time, then under the investigation of the Detective Department, the matter will come to a conclusion soon.
Everyone then talked for a while, recounting everything they had heard recently from the outside world.
Finally, the process of the martial arts meeting came to the second stage, which was the exchange of practice problems and experiences.
"Junior Brother Su, you are the new blood of our Tianzhen Peak and a disciple who has just started. Why not take this opportunity to express all the questions in your heart."
Ren Feiyu, who seemed to be very familiar with Su Xing, leaned out, patted his shoulder and said.
Su Xing smiled ashamedly, and immediately said: "Then junior brother, I will no longer be polite to you brothers and sisters. I have only been here for less than a day, and I don't know much about the life in the inner mountain. I want to know if this place is the same as the outer mountain Taoist temple. Every day
Are there any spiritual training courses?”
Ren Feiyu laughed when he heard this, "Haha, it seems that junior brother you haven't reacted to the teaching system in the outer mountain. Junior brother, remember one sentence, the master will lead you in, and cultivation is personal. After entering the inner mountain, except for daily questions, you can
Go ask those elders, daily practice depends entirely on your own consciousness."
"And even if you have questions, you may not be able to find those elders. Although their caves have road signs to guide them, they are not in the mountains for at least 355 days a year." Xi Xuerou snorted softly,
He added dissatisfiedly.
"That's it." Su Xing responded to everyone, somewhat dumbfounded.
He originally thought that after entering the inner mountain, there would be a better teacher to teach them how to practice. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the complete opposite. They had to slowly explore on their own. Now he also roughly knew why the bookshelf in his cave was so tall.
"That's why we hold a martial arts meeting. If you have questions but can't find those old guys, you can come here to ask each other for advice." Ren Feiyu said again.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ren, for your answer. I just have another question. Previously, the elders of Lingwu Peak said that inner disciples can freely check the books in the outer mountain library, but they did not say what they need to do to check the books in the main peak library.
.”
"Let me tell you about this," Zhou Ping took over. "The three main peaks have different requirements and conditions for borrowing books in the Sutra Pavilion. For example, Lingwu Peak has always maintained the practice of outer mountains and requires disciples to
Only when you perform special sect tasks can you borrow martial arts secrets.
The rules of our Zhentian Peak are more normal than those of Lingwu Peak. If you want to borrow books from the Sutra Pavilion, you only need to fulfill the requirements of the elder who is in charge of the Sutra Pavilion."
"Require?"
"Exactly, according to the level of the secret book borrowed, the requirements put forward by Elder Tian Feng are different. Well... for example, last time I wanted to borrow a book of high-grade Xuan-level martial arts, Elder Tian asked me to go to the Demon-Judging Cave.
A live baby was brought out of the devil monkey's den.
In order to fulfill his request..."
Zhou Ping said as he lifted up his sleeves, exposing his arms, which were covered with long and wide scratches.
"In order to fulfill his request, I almost died in the Demon Gathering Cave." When Zhou Ping said this, his face was full of smile, and he didn't seem to care at all.
"Well……"
Is this really just a simple request?
Compared to the system at Lingwu Peak, why did he feel like he was the abnormal one at Tianzhen Peak? Su Xing complained secretly in his heart.
