Chapter 7 Going in the opposite direction
On the eve of the three-year competition, Lin Jingzhe saw the back of Dongzhi again on the back mountain, but this time he did not follow him.
The three-year competition is the most lively day in the mountain gate. Faces that have been hidden in seclusion will all appear together on this day.
The three-year competition does not distinguish between Qian Dao and Kun Dao, because it is only a competition held for Qian Dao.
There are a total of sixty Qian Dao disciples, which is many fewer than three years ago. It must be that the recruitment of new disciples is not going smoothly.
In these three years, many senior brothers have been promoted, and many senior brothers have returned to secular life.
Everyone seems to be extremely eager for the position of the senior brother. Instead, they should all be aiming for the middle-grade treasure.
But it is not ruled out that some people are just waiting to die. However, the sect is also prepared to deal with these situations. For example, among you who have stayed at the mountain sect for seven or eight years and have the oldest qualifications, you are directly promoted to senior brother and wait to return to the world.
In this competition, Lin Jingzhe was forcibly promoted to the fifth level and became Si Lu with the third level of Qi training. The trophy was a book of physical fitness exercises and five low-grade spiritual stones.
Xiao Wu was even more powerful, he was directly promoted to 27, and the spoils of war were ten low-grade spiritual stones and a book of elementary spells.
The order of spells is classified as follows: low-level, elementary, middle-level, high-level, top-level, and divine level.
This year, the stage of the competition only belongs to Dongzhi, because he soared directly from the top 50 to the top 10, becoming a real dark horse.
His soaring into the sky naturally attracted the attention of the observer at the Star-Seeking Observation. The observer's beautiful eyes would turn to fall on him from time to time, looking thoughtful.
This scene was naturally caught by Lin Jingzhe, and it also left him with a lingering suspicion.
After the competition, Xiao Wu brought a woman and knocked on the door of Lin Jingzhe's apartment.
The girl is born smart and cute, and looks as beautiful as a flower. She is a veritable beauty embryo.
"Xiao Jingzhe, let me introduce to you, this is your sister-in-law." Xiao Wu looked a little uncomfortable, and Lin Jingzhe noticed it at a glance.
"Brother Wu, sister-in-law."
"Little Jingzhe." The woman imitated Xiao Wu's tone and said timidly.
"Xiao Jingzhe, Brother Wu can become Two Seven in one fell swoop, all because of your sister-in-law's support."
"I understand." Li Jingzhe chuckled secretly, but was too embarrassed to express it.
"Brother Xiao Wu, it's cold outside, why don't you bring your sister-in-law in and sit down with you?"
"No, no." Xiao Wu seemed to have a guilty conscience and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your sister-in-law is not feeling well, and I have to go back to take care of her."
"These are five spiritual stones. You can practice with them." Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, then took out the spiritual stones and handed them over.
Lin Jingzhe did not refuse, accepted Xiao Wu's kindness, looked at their retreating figures, and murmured in a low voice: "Is it true that the technique I am practicing now is a method of gathering yin and replenishing yang? No wonder the name is chosen like this. eccentric."
Returning to the dormitory, I held the bright spiritual stone in my hand, sat cross-legged, adjusted my mentality, and prepared to recite the mantra silently and enter cultivation.
On the side, the book on bodybuilding exercises intrigued him, so he reached out and grabbed the book. He saw the three words "Yi Zhenqing" written on the front page of the book.
This book is very thin, with only a few pages, unlike spells that are stored in jade tubes to prove their value.
Opening the book, there were just a few images drawn on the yellow pages, nothing special about them.
"Sure enough, the secrets written on paper that can be distributed as trophies are not important skills."
Lin Jingzhe threw it away and then remembered the pattern described on the second page of the book and commented: squatting on the snow and imitating a toad to jump hundreds of times, there will be unexpected gains.
"Since this physical fitness technique exists, it must have its effect. It's difficult for me to break through with my current practice, so why not try its effect."
Thinking of this, he stood up, pushed open the door of his dormitory, walked to the snow, squatted down, and imitated the toad's jump, jumping a hundred times in a row.
"What is it? It is indeed fake."
Lin Jingzhe cursed and stood up. When he was about to go back, he glanced in the direction of the mountain behind.
"Eldest brother?"
Although the sky is getting dark, it is easy to distinguish the figures and shadows under the snowy peaks with white light.
Although he only met his current senior brother once, he still recognized the silhouette in the back as his senior brother.
"Would you like to follow?"
After struggling for a moment, I saw the senior brother's back disappearing into the darkness.
"What are you afraid of? Go over there and take a look. If something goes wrong, get out immediately."
Having made up his mind, he quickly followed.
When we chased him to the back mountain, his senior brother had already disappeared.
The wind is howling and the cold wind is biting.
It was already dark, and on the white back hill, the dark cemetery hub was looming, making it feel more and more strange.
"Eldest brother won't enter the forbidden area in the back mountain, right?"
Lin Jingzhe looked at the gloomy cemetery half a mile ahead, shuddered, and said: "But how can such a big person just disappear after saying he can't see him?"
Lin Jingzhe lowered his head and looked down at the footprints on the snow. The footprints were divided into two rows, stretching toward the front, which was pointing in the direction of the cemetery.
The conclusion drawn from this analysis shocked him, "Did Senior Brother really go into the cemetery on the back hill?"
Just when he was frightened, a ball of fire suddenly broke out in the cemetery on the back hill.
The fire was extremely dazzling at first, but was soon surrounded by a black light. Slowly, the fire couldn't hold on anymore and disappeared into the darkness.
When this scene suddenly happened, Lin Jingzhe had long since lost the courage to find out what was going on, and walked back to the original path.
As he was retreating, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly squatted on the ground, imitating each step of a toad's jump and covering up his original footprints.
The toad's crouching steps are larger than the original footprints, but if it can be covered up, then we can only let nature take its course.
When he returned to the dormitory, he was already panting and the spiritual energy in his Dantian was almost exhausted.
"This toad squats and consumes spiritual energy so much."
Lin Jingzhe looked inside her dantian and was speechless for a while.
He took out the spiritual stone from his body and sat cross-legged on the bed, silently reciting the spiritual method and absorbing the spiritual energy.
A night of silence.
The next day, he quietly found out from various disciples that the senior brother had gone down the mountain to return to secular life this morning.
After receiving this result, Lin Jingzhe felt his head heavy because he didn't know whether the big fireball in the cemetery at the back mountain was set off by his senior brother.
Now that the eldest brother has returned to secular life, the second-ranked disciple will naturally take over and take charge of the overall situation.
He returned to the dormitory and closed the door tightly. After dark, he did not dare to open the door because he was worried that someone with malicious intentions would criticize him.
After spending such a tiring month, he breathed a sigh of relief because the current senior brother had not been replaced.
Time flies, and months pass by in a hurry through the fingers.
He didn't take it seriously in the half-year competition, he just won a slight victory and got a spiritual stone to practice.
The current senior brother returned to secular life again and was replaced by the second disciple.
Winter Solstice also stole the show in this half-year competition, losing several places and ranking 11th.
Xiao Wu has not left isolation, so I don’t know if it has anything to do with his partner.
In the past six months, Xiaobi, the master has returned and brought back three new disciples.
Lin Jingzhe vaguely discovered that every six months, the master would go down the mountain to recruit disciples, and during these six months, the senior brother would be in charge of all operations in the temple.
The master stayed in the mountain for half a year, and would return to secular life every three months.
Now, in the master's sect, 218 famous senior brothers have returned to secular life.
Lin Jingzhe secretly remembered these rules in his mind without revealing them.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half year has passed.
Four years have slipped through my fingers, as if it was still yesterday.
The young and thin boy has faded his youthfulness and immaturity. He has a delicate face, three-dimensional facial features, red lips and white teeth, eyes like clear springs, and a fresh and handsome demeanor. He is a handsome young man.
Lin Jingzhe never imagined that she would look like this after growing up. She felt a little proud in her heart, but she also began to be troubled.
Today, after participating in a small competition for half a year, people laughed at him for being weak and weak, but he still let his strength prove himself and won a spiritual stone.
Returning to his dormitory, there was a knock on his dormitory door. When he opened the door, he saw a female disciple wearing a purple robe.
At the mountain gate, everyone is not strongly required to wear Taoist robes, but they must wear Taoist robes when entering the Star Reaching Temple.
"Sister, who are you looking for?"
Looking at this uninvited guest, Lin Jingzhe's heart skipped a beat.
"Looking for you, little junior brother, can I come in and sit down?" The senior sister's voice was soft and soft, and it was very pleasant.
"Ah, it's inconvenient, I'm in a mess inside." This was the first time Lin Jingzhe faced a beautiful senior sister at such a close distance, with tension and anxiety in her voice.
"Is it inconvenient, or are you afraid that Senior Sister will eat you?" Senior Sister Qingpao teased with a peach blossom look on her face.
"Senior sister, what do you want from me?" Lin Jingzhe pretended to be calm, but deep down she was already relaxed and defeated.
"Can't you talk to your junior brother about life even if you have nothing to do?"
"Ah! Talking about life?" Lin Jingzhe said with innocent eyes: "I'm still young and don't have enough experience in life. I'm afraid senior sister has found the wrong person."
"It's not that life." The senior sister said with a red face.
"That's that life?" Lin Jingzhe was puzzled.
"That's it. I want to find you to see how deep the Water Curtain Cave is, you idiot." Senior Sister Qingpao muttered in a low voice.
"Where did the Water Curtain Cave come from when the mountain was closed? Can you eat the stupid melons?" Lin Jingzhe's mind grew more and more confused the more he listened.
Senior Sister Qingyi almost vomited a mouthful of thick blood when she was asked. She touched her forehead and said, "Junior Brother, Senior Sister has found the wrong person. I'm leaving now."
Senior Sister Qingpao turned around, turned around and left. When she left, she did not forget to say to herself: "This handsome young man is really handsome, but he is not a rich man. He has been taught about sexual intercourse since he was a child."
Lin Jingzhe understood the word "sexual intercourse", and he couldn't help but sigh: "Sister, if you can hold on a little longer, you can push me down, and I can also take the opportunity to see if the technique I am practicing now is a double break."
Will this technique help me break through the third level of Qi training?"
