Chapter 28: rule

At this moment, the road they were walking on was built along the beach. The clear and undulating water was only less than ten feet away from them. The road ahead was still winding, and the mountains were undulating, like a pair of slender arms. A bend of sea water hugs her arms, forming a natural calm bay.
The new disciples who came here were not the only ten of them. On the contrary, there were quite a few new disciples led by senior brothers like Su He, and it seemed that many of them were arranged to live here.
Su He took Shen Shi and others to some place in the middle of the bay. At this time, the houses were exposed to the eyes of the teenagers. Almost all the houses were exactly the same. The glazed blue tiles and white walls were divided into two entrances. The former is actually a small courtyard planted with flowers, plants and trees. Although the area is not large, it has its own elegant style, which makes people feel peaceful; while the latter is the new disciple, or it can become the daily routine of the outer disciples of the Lingxiao Sect. Because the living area is close to the foot of the mountain, caves have been dug directly in the mountain, and they have been well repaired and become cultivation caves.
There is a stone gate in front of every cave. The door is closed and the number is engraved on it. Su He leads them to the outside of the cave where "Jia Forty" is written, and said: "From here, from Jiasi From ten to forty-nine, these ten cave houses are where the ten of you live.
After speaking, he paused and pointed to the stone gate. It was obviously a heavy stone gate hewn out of a large stone, in the middle. There is a round roulette inlaid with a pattern of gossip on it, and there is a faint cloud flowing slowly,
"After you go there, take out your cloud charms and paste them here. This'Bagua Lock' will recognize the Lord. From then on, except for you yourself to use cloud charms to open the stone gates of the cave, everyone else includes me. You can't get in."
Shen Shi and the others stared wide-eyed, looking at the gossip lock on the Shimen, apart from the complicated pattern, there seemed to be nothing special about it, unexpectedly there was such a magical effect.
Su He smiled slightly and beckoned to them: "Which one of you will try now?"
As soon as the voice fell, Sun You, who was standing next to Shen Shi, jumped out, with a look of excitement, and said, "I'll come, I'll come."
Saying that he ran to the stone gate quickly, took out the cloud symbol from his arms, and approached the gossip lock cautiously. Shen Shi and others next to him watched carefully. At first, there seemed to be no change. Sun You was a little surprised and turned his head. Looking at Su He, Su He smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's tight."
Sun You laughed and gave the cloud talisman forward, but this time he pressed it directly on the gossip lock. Sure enough, after a while, a cloud of cloud gas flickered on the cloud talisman, and the gossip lock seemed to have been stimulated. Turn it slowly. Under the eyes of everyone, those complicated gossip patterns actually flowed, and they began to rearrange the order at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, they made a low and subtle popping sound. Not long after, the sound fell silent. After the word "Sun You" appeared faintly in the center of the Bagua Lock, it quickly disappeared.
Afterwards, there was a deep rumble from the foot of the stone gate, and the whole stone gate slowly retreated to the side, revealing a spacious and bright cave.
Sun You cheered and laughed. The first one ran in. Everyone was curious, including the Zhong family sisters. At this moment, they didn’t care about their previous errands with Sun You, and followed Su He and others. , Looked curiously at the cave house behind Shimen.
The cave is excavated on the mountain, and the visible walls are all hard gray rocks, but the repairs are very smooth, and the skylight is opened to let the sun shine, so the cave is not dark and cold, but very bright and comfortable.
Tables, chairs, and mattresses are all available, especially on the wall on the side of the cave. A three-layer stone frame was directly excavated on the stone wall. Of course they are all empty at the moment, but the cultivation time will be longer in the future, so they must be able to be placed here. Many things, such as some spiritual materials and things, seem to be very thoughtful to the predecessors who built these cave houses.
Su He stood in the cave, and let these excited and curious teenagers look around for a while, then called them over, gathered at the only table in the house, and smiled: "Okay, wait. It’s almost the same in your Dongfu, and there will be time for you to see it in the future. Now there are a few important things, I will explain to you first."
The teenagers saw that his face became solemn for the first time, and they immediately gathered to listen to them honestly. They only listened to Su He pointing to an iron box placed on the table at an unknown time, and said: "Every one of you is on the table in the Dongfu, I have already placed such an iron box in advance. There are two sets of outer disciple clothes in the box, a sketch of the six islands of herring, and a sketch of Lingxiao. Above are the rules of the door and some rough information of the current sect. They are all written clearly and clearly. I would like to remind you once again, my brothers and sisters, that this school is a famous school that has been passed down for thousands of years. The rules are the most strict. Although the practice seems to be loose on weekdays, there are some rules. What is forbidden is absolutely not to be violated. Otherwise, it will be punished at a lighter rate, and it will be expelled from the door wall.
Shen Shi and others were shocked and nodded in agreement.
Su He smiled slightly, his expression slowed down, and said, "You are all talented people. Otherwise, you can't have such an immortal fate to worship the sect. In the future, you will cultivate well, and the road will be expected."
After saying these kind words, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "In addition, there is a spirit crystal in the box, a'Star Luo Gong' exercise formula. This is the most basic exercise method in this school, and it is also yours. The foundation of cultivating in the Qi Refining Realm, from tomorrow onwards, Senior Brother Wang Gen will teach Star Luo Gong in the "Morning Star Palace" on the island, and you will all go. This is a rare opportunity. After these seven days, in the future If you want to enter the Morning Star Palace again, you have to pay for the spirit crystals to enter."
"Huh?" All the young people were unclear. Therefore, a young man next to him asked directly, "Senior Brother Su, why is this?"
Su He smiled and said: "The Temple of the Morning Star is built by the ancestor of this ancestor with great magical powers in the most aura of the island. His Royal Highness secretly arranged a marvelous array that can gather and purify the aura of heaven and earth, and cultivate in the Temple of Morning Star. The cultivation speed of cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm should be increased by 10%."
"So that's the case." The young people talked one after another, but Shen Shi thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, isn't it that our human race absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth and can only draw from the spiritual crystal? The Heaven and Earth spiritual power gathered in the Morning Star Palace, we can't absorb it. How can we increase the speed of cultivation?"
Su He was stunned, obviously he was also asked this question, and thought for a while before he said: "I am not particularly clear about this, but the seniors who have practiced in the Morning Star Palace in the past have felt this way. , Presumably it's not fake. Maybe... because of the strong spiritual energy in the Morning Star Palace, how much it is also beneficial, allowing us to absorb more spiritual power from the spiritual crystal?"
The teenagers nodded one after another, seeming to agree with this speculation. Although Shen Shi still had some doubts, he didn't think much about it. The Lingxiao Sect is such a great sect, with all kinds of magical powers and incredible powers. There is a small palace only for the refinement state. What's weird about the benefits, and now I quickly forget about this idea.
Seeing that everything was almost done, Su He let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the teenagers, smiled, and said, "Okay, now it's the last thing."
Shen Shi watched him look solemn again, and he was a little strange, but he saw Su He took out a strange thing from his arms, which looked like a birdcage, but it was not big and there was no bird in the cage, but one was lying on his stomach. Looking at the lazy little animal, this shape looks like a gray-skinned toad.
Su He looked straight and said: "The ancestor Cen Huai, the real master of the school, has taken over the position of the school 30 years ago. He has been in charge of the school for a century. He helped to discover the true talents of the new disciples, and set up rules and regulations. : All new disciples who enter this school of cultivation, during the first five years of the six herring islands, everyone is not allowed to bring spiritual crystals into the island by themselves, in the hope that all disciples can discover true talents after fair practice."
As he said, he pointed to the gray-skinned toad in the cage in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Everyone, please lean closer, unless you have that kind of mustard bag that can only be used when you reach the Ning Yuan realm. Magical equipment such as the Qiankun bag, otherwise, it is impossible to escape the feeling of the'crystal swallowing toad' who is instinctively fond of devouring spirit crystals."
Shen Shi was stunned. There was indeed a spirit crystal on him. It was handed to him by Shen Tai when he was separated from his father in Xilu City, Yinzhou. He bought the small pot in Floating Cloud City the day before. One, now there are two left, and it is unexpected that Ling Xiaozong still has such rules.
However, when I think about it carefully, Shen Shi is more happy than worried. He has come here in a panic. Although there are spiritual crystals on his body, he is also pitiful. However, Sun You and Zhong Qinglu are completely different from the local family. You can imagine. Without this rule, the spirit crystals that their children who are valued by the family can obtain are almost uncontrollable and abundant.
The so-called cultivation, to a certain extent, depends on the number of spirit crystals, and then the level of talents of each person. With this level of family history, it is inherently not fair enough, and it is difficult to see the true talent level of everyone. Unexpectedly, Ling Xiaozong now, the real Cen Huaiyuan, had such a vision and courage, and set such rules. At least in the most critical first five years, all the new disciples started practicing under a generally fair situation.
It's just that... Shen Shi was overjoyed, but he thought quietly in his heart, although this rule is good, I'm afraid that real person Cen Huaiyuan Cen must have offended many of the great families under the Lingxiao sect. After all, this rule is clear. It is aimed at these vassal families. But afterwards, Shen Shi smiled slightly, and got rid of this meaningless thought. Who is that?
That is the real head teacher of the Lingxiaozong. Looking at the world, they are all well-known top figures in the cultivation world. Surely they shouldn't care about the reactions of some aristocratic families, right?
Uh, it should be like this. After passing such a thought in his mind, Chen Shi stepped forward and took out the only two spirit crystals from his body and placed them on the table. At the same time, that The Crystal Swallowing Toad in the cage moved suddenly when he approached, as if he felt something, and slowly opened his eyes.
(Tweet a day has persisted for so long... It feels like a long time)
