Chapter 207 Select [Light up the starry sky for the leader
At the expiration of one year, Lou Xiaoyi had to bow to reality. He could not find a suitable method for practicing swordsmanship, which meant that he could only continue in the direction of Xuanyuan's external swordsmanship that had lasted for tens of thousands of years!
I’m willing to admit defeat! There’s nothing to complain about!
He has been practicing here for three years since he joined the sect. In Xuanyuan's words, he is like a mule or a horse, and he can go out for a walk.
But Lou Xiaoyi didn't want to just go out like this. The only meaning for him in three years was that it was time to go to Qianxiu Peak to change his sword skills, change his sword embryo, and start his ordinary career as a foreign swordsman!
It’s not scary to make mistakes, what’s scary is slipping further and further from the mistakes!
After coming to Qianxiu Peak and receiving the resources for the past six months, he now has nearly 500 middle-grade spiritual stones in his hand. This was saved by his frugality. He did not take medicine, refine elixirs, or draw talismans.
The exercises are mainly based on the star system which costs no money, and there are no additional expenses. The reason for this is actually his last struggle.
Since he can't find his own way to practice swordsmanship, he must at least choose the best among the traditional methods! The best swordsmanship, the best sword embryo, and the best materials!
These all require wealth!
He needs to choose a swordsmanship first, and then select materials within the framework of the swordsmanship, even if doing so makes him feel very unfulfilled. He does not have the impatient, long-awaited eagerness of other swordsmen, as if it were in the outer sword.
Alien, the pheasant among the phoenixes.
Before he entered the area of Boao Tower, another palace not far away stirred his memories. It was the Denglin Hall, where he entered the palace, and it was also where the disciples of the Outer Sword Foundation Establishment accepted their missions.
In the three years since he entered Xuanyuan, he had no close friends. The only one left early. You Guan said that the sect has completed the task of the death of Senior Brother Gubei and hung it in the Denglin Hall. It has been three years.
Are you afraid that it has been completed long ago?
But now that he was here and qualified to go out, he still wanted to go in and take a look, just for peace of mind.
Entering the side hall where the mission was issued in the Denglin Hall, Lou Xiaoyi showed his sword talisman to show his qualifications. Lou Xiaoyi asked the disciple on duty if there was such a mission? How was the completion status?
As he expected, the disciple on duty was very confused. He could not remember a small task three years ago. There were tens of thousands of such tasks every year. They were ordinary and inconspicuous. Nothing could make him
Something special to remember.
So he threw a jade slip over and said, "Junior brother, take a look for yourself! There are countless requests for funeral arrangements every year. If you can't see the task you mentioned in the jade slip, it means that it has been completed. Small things like this have been completed."
, it’s hard to get any kind of acknowledgment, and I can’t find any records, because no one will ask!”
Yes, he is just an ordinary old Zhu Ji, and a stubborn old man like Gu Bei probably has few friends. How many people will remember him even after his death?
No family property, no apprentices, just for Xuanyuan...
There are many ordinary tasks like this, and they are listed countless in the jade slips, such as picking up relatives and delivering property. Among them, dealing with funeral matters is the most common. Many foundations are lost in Xuanyuan every year due to various reasons, such as in ancient times.
There are only a few people like Bei who die of old age, and most of them died fighting with others outside. In this regard, Xuanyuan will not mobilize troops to retaliate, as long as there are no other sects who deliberately bully the small ones, this is also the rule of the entire Five Rings.
With a glance, Lou Xiaoyi quickly scanned the jade slip. He didn't think that Gubei's mission would be left on there for three years without anyone taking it up. He came here just for peace of mind.
But what surprised him was that in the last few lines of the jade slip, a mission suddenly appeared in front of him:
Gubei, whose common name was Tian Lijun, died at the end of his life at the age of two hundred and fifty-seven. He had no belongings on his body and had a breeze on his sleeves. The remaining things collected by the sect and one precept were all.
His hometown is in Minzhou Prefecture in the Western Region, and he comes from a big family!
Now that this person has left, the sect remembers that he was loyal to the dome and devoted himself to the sect, so he will reward him with five medium-grade spiritual stones. He will inform his clan on the way and share them as much as he likes!
There are also some specific things in the task, including detailed addresses and details of what is left behind. To be honest, it is very poor!
Five middle-grade spiritual stones as a reward, to be honest, is a lot. With Lou Xiaoyi's current clan reward, it is only fifteen pieces per month; but the trouble of this task is that it wastes time. Although Minzhou Mansion and Xuanyuan are in the same area,
But the Western Region is so vast, and with the poor foot strength of the Foundation Establishment monks, they may not be able to travel back and forth for a year, and this is even if nothing happens along the way.
Therefore, no one would do it alone, but if it is along the way, it is something that can be easily grasped. It is also a general direction. Tens of thousands of foundations have been built. After three years, no one will go to Minzhou?
He handed the jade slip back and asked, "Senior brother, no one has taken up a task like this for three years. Is there anything fishy about it?"
Before the disciple on duty could answer the question, an old cultivator next to him took over.
"Are you familiar with Senior Brother Gubei?"
Lou Xiaoyi told the truth, "We didn't get along for long, but Senior Brother Gubei was my guide. We spent more than ten days together and received a lot of guidance from him. Before I could even thank him, he left in a hurry..."
The old cultivator nodded, "You are a conscientious person. Brother Gubei has been guiding people in the past decades and has received a lot of favors from him, but you are the first one who can think of coming here to ask!"
Are you ready to leave the mountain after three years?"
Lou Xiaoyi nodded, but just stared at the old man, his meaning was self-evident.
The old cultivator sighed, "Senior Brother Gubei, you are a good person, willing to help others, and warm-hearted. But he likes to borrow money to get through the day. Everyone in the outer sword circle knows this. Especially in recent years, the number of lifespans has increased.
At the end of the day, in order to rush to the frontier, he had a lot of foreign debts. He left in a free and easy way, leaving behind a lot of debts and no where to go. Except for you new disciples, everyone else has these things in mind.
Mirror!
So there was a reason why no one went to deal with his aftermath!
Junior brother, are you here to take over a mission? Or to pay off a debt for senior brother Gubei?"
Lou Xiaoyi hummed: "I accepted the mission! But I won't accept the debt! We have one code and one code, personal cause and effect. Whoever has a debt can go down to find him. What does it have to do with me? I only accept that I should
That part of inheritance!"
Lou Xiaoyi is a person who values friendship and does not want to owe anyone any favors, even if it is a dead person! The scene where Brother Gubei stood up for him in front of Master Wenchang was still vivid in his memory. Although it did not make any difference, he had integrity and he could not pretend to be incompetent.
You know, when the person leaves, the matter is settled!
He was also a little selfish in taking on this task. Ever since he boarded the spaceship in the original world, he has almost never traveled outside as he pleased. He spent three years in the universe in a floating raft and Xuanyuan in a cave in three years. For someone at his age,
It has almost reached the limit for the monks!
The need to go out to relax and see the world will also help him have new ideas in the direction of his own practice.
Nothing can come out of being bored at home. The experience in the cave in the past three years has clearly taught me what cultivation is.
What he didn't realize was that he was still subconsciously avoiding external swordsmanship and making a popular choice.
