Five people survived the tribulation, two of them gave birth to babies, and the other three were severely injured by the thunder tribulation, and died one after another within half a month.
No one pays attention to the dead person, even if he is a famous disciple, he just leaves behind an unknown story to witness the cruelty and ruthlessness of immortality.
Those who survive are the strong ones.
Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan successfully overcame the tribulation and were promoted to Nascent Soul monks, becoming existences second only to the elders. They were rewarded by the Immortal Sect and summoned by the sect leader Tian Juezi. However, due to their short qualifications, they were separated from each other. There was no time to practice in seclusion, so they were placed in Guangmu and Puze respectively, taking on the important task of guarding the gates. When the two left Tianzhu Mountain, Yu Ye and Zhan Kun did not see each other off. The key was because they were afraid of arousing the suspicion of their elders.
However, Yu Ye, Zhan Kun, Wen Gui, and Cheng Shi were promoted to the twelve Tiansha disciples of Tiansha Hall due to their merit. The so-called Tiansha disciples are the elite inner disciples of Tiansha Hall. But no one feels happy. The rotation of the twelve Tiansha disciples is the survival of the fittest. If you cannot become a Nascent Soul monk, you will eventually turn into dust under the thunder.
Wen Gui, however, is very ambitious. According to him, as long as he gets the Infant-Essence Pill rewarded by his master, it is not difficult to survive the calamity and have an infant. The Jieying Pill is extremely precious, and he believes that with his ability, he will be able to make great achievements and get his wish.
The days are calm again.
On this day in October, E'an suddenly appeared by the lake. His injuries had recovered, and he summoned his disciples to lecture. The general meaning was that at the beginning of the year, the Tiantong Sect and the Tianfu Sect attacked Tianzhu Mountain, and then the Tianji Sect took revenge. All three parties There have been heavy casualties. Now Tianliang Sect and Tianxiang Sect will come forward to hold a Dharma conference of five alliances at Tianwu Mountain in Cangwu County in order to resolve centuries-old grievances and discuss Yanzhou's immortal plan, and invite Several sect leaders attended the grand event together. However, Tian Juezi of Tianji Sect was unwilling to bow his head easily and could not refuse the goodwill of Meng Ba and Fang Xiuzi, so he appointed three Nascent Soul elders to take their disciples to Tianwu Mountain. The three appointed elders are E'an from Tiansha Hall, Ying Ling from Tianqi Hall, and Ping Yangzi from Tianji Hall. Wen Gui, Zhan Kun, Yu Ye, and Cheng Shi are the newly promoted elite disciples of Tiansha Hall. Together with the eight golden elixir masters from Tianqi Hall and Tianji Hall, a total of twelve people follow the three elders. , set off on October 18th.
After E'an explained, he left alone.
Yu Ye and Zhan Kun sat on the stone in front of the cave gate, looking at the clear lake and the scenery of Tianzhu Mountain, each feeling inexplicable.
Since arriving at Tianzhu Mountain, I have been practicing in seclusion all day long, not wanting to suddenly travel far away. Three days later it will be October 18th. Whether this is a blessing or a curse, we have no way of knowing.
"You three junior brothers, why don't you take a walk around to familiarize yourself with the scenery of the Immortal Sect, and also make some friends from the same sect?"
Wen Gui wanted to take his three junior brothers on a mountain tour to see the scenery, but Zhan Kun and Yu Ye ignored him. He had to wave his hands to Cheng Shi and said, "Junior brother Zhan and junior brother Yu are very self-respecting and disdain to associate with mediocre people like me! "
Cheng Shi could not refuse, so he smiled awkwardly and followed him along the lake.
Zhan Kun and Yu Ye exchanged looks.
Everyone is well aware of Wen Gui's character. That guy can bite anyone at any time, so he has to be more careful.
While the two of them were sitting around, they were talking through sound transmission——
"In a year and a half, I will also try to have a baby in seclusion."
"Well, I hope Zhan Kun gets his wish!"
"Haha, if I can get my wish, it will be thanks to the Lai brothers' Yingying Dan!"
During the Battle of Fuyu Island, several Qizhou comrades each received a Yingying Dan. This was an opportunity for immortality, but also the source of disaster. Because of the scandal involving murder and alchemy, and the revenge of Lai's brother Lai Mian, both Zhan Kun and Yu Ye have always been worried about this. Fortunately, Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan have become Yuanying masters, but they were sent to Guangmu and Pu Ze. If disaster strikes, the brothers will be helpless.
"There is no news about Lai Mian so far, I hope he just gives up!"
"If something unexpected happens, let the news out in time."
"Um"
At this moment, two sword lights came across the lake.
It was actually Ji Han and Xian Cheng, greeting each other from a distance: "Uncle Zhan, Uncle Yu!"
"Hey, you two are stationed in Puze. When will you come to Tianzhu Mountain?"
Zhan Kun and Yu Ye were quite surprised.
The two jumped out of the sword light and said happily: "Pu Ze is under the jurisdiction of Master Linghu. Thanks to his care, he recommended my two brothers to come to Tianzhu Mountain to take charge of purchasing and catering."
Master Linghu is Linghu Bei. He is familiar with the two of them, and it is only right that he cares about them secretly.
"After my brother settled down, he originally wanted to visit his two uncles, but he was always busy. It's rare that he has free time today, so he specially prepared wine and food and came to invite him!"
"Haha, it's rare that you two are so thoughtful!"
Zhan Kun stood up with a puff of sleeves.
Yu Ye also nodded in agreement.
Ji Han and Xian Cheng led the way, and the four of them walked north along the lake.
It is reported that there are many disciples in Tianzhu Mountain, and there are thousands of disciples in Qi refining and foundation building. They inevitably need food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. There are dedicated people to take care of related matters, and Ji Han and Xian Cheng are the disciples in charge. Among them The oil and water were naturally abundant, but it was not convenient to eat and drink so much, so a banquet was arranged in the kitchen to entertain the two uncles.
The kitchen is located in a canyon at the northern end of the lake.
The four of them talked and laughed along the way. The pavilions and pavilions on the way have their own beautiful scenery.
After more than ten miles, we entered a 100-foot canyon. At the end of the canyon, there is a courtyard built against the mountain, with streams and waterfalls, shaded by trees, and it is very quiet.
A cave in the courtyard is the kitchen. The table in the quiet room is filled with wine and food, and several Qi Refining disciples are busy going back and forth.
"Two uncles, please—"
Zhan Kun and Yu Ye were not seen outside. They walked to the table and sat down. Ji Han and Xian Cheng were accompanying them. They were enjoying a rich meal of wine and delicacies.
There are no villages within a thousand miles of Tianzhu Mountain, and of course there are no market towns or wine shops. I don't expect that there is a place to drink and eat meat in the kitchen of this immortal gate.
"Haha, would it be convenient if Junior Brother Yu and I often come and go?"
"As long as the two master uncles enjoy the honor, the wine and meat will be enough!"
"Ha ha!"
The four of them toasted and laughed.
Yu Ye was also quite happy.
Ji Han and Xian Cheng were responsible for purchasing and managing the kitchen. Although eating and drinking like this seemed to be self-serving, it was harmless. The key was that they had an extra place to go, which made the boring days a little more fun.
"The kitchen is an important place, no one can enter -"
While the four of them were eating and drinking, a person suddenly broke into the cave, followed by several Qi Refining disciples who chased him and screamed.
It turned out to be an old man, dressed in the attire of a Tianji Sect disciple. He looked around, twitched his nose, raised his hand sharply, and shouted: "Oh, the disciple in charge is opening a small stove-"
Ji Han and Xian Cheng became angry from embarrassment. They both stood up and were about to have a fit, but their expressions changed.
The old man is not an ordinary disciple, but a senior Jindan?
I saw him running straight towards the wine table.
Zhan Kun was also stunned, but looked at Yu Ye beside him. However, Yu Ye's expression became condensed and he silently shook his head.
Ji Han and Xian Cheng could only wave their hands, and several Qi Refining disciples hurriedly retreated.
The old man sat directly at the table, picked up the wine jar and drank a few sips. Then he grabbed the fish and ate it with his bare hands. The whole table of wine and food was swept away by him in an instant. After a while, he stretched out his long nails and picked at the gap between his teeth, and said to Ji Han and Xian Cheng: "Next time you drink wine and eat meat, don't forget yourself, otherwise you will complain to the elders and you will not be able to bear it. Oh. , I am Gui Yuanzi of Tianji Hall, hiccup——"
The old man called himself Gui Yuanzi, burped, stood up with satisfaction, and walked away as if he was confident.
"Two uncles——"
Ji Han and Xian Cheng were still at a loss.
Yu Ye was not surprised and said: "Gui Yuanzi from Tianji Hall, just invite him next time you have a drink!"
He and Zhan Kun nodded, then said goodbye and left.
The two of them walked out of the kitchen together and ran through the canyon towards the way they came.
"Brother Yu, that person..."
Zhan Kun was a little uneasy.
He recognized Gui Yuanzi, who was the cook who appeared on Fuyu Island. He was a mortal with no cultivation, but now he became a golden elixir disciple of Tianji Sect.
As for Gui Yuanzi's elusiveness, Yu Ye had long been accustomed to it, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only comfort him: "It doesn't matter!"
Zhan Kun was startled again, raised his hand and said: "Brother Yu..."
After leaving the canyon, they came to the lakeside, only to see that Gui Yuanzi did not go far away, but stopped by the lakeside to look into the distance.
"Brother Zhan, please go first."
"Um!"
It was inconvenient for Zhan Kun to ask more questions, so he had to return alone.
Yu Ye walked slowly to the lake. He looked at Gui Yuanzi's clothes and the cultivation of the ninth level of the golden elixir. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said through the voice: "Old guy, you have no conscience... "
"Bah, bah——"
Gui Yuanzi repeatedly spat: "Talk to me, old man, no matter how big or small!" As he spoke, he extended his finger to indicate: "Fuyu Island owes me ten jars of wine, so I can't default on it!"
"snort!"
Yu Ye rolled his eyes and hummed: "You're such a shameless old man. You faked your death on a deserted island overseas and refused to save anyone on Fuyu Island. Now you've infiltrated the Tianji Sect and you dare to ask for a drink bill. Aren't you afraid that I will expose your background? "
"hehe!"
Gui Yuanzi twirled his beard and smiled and walked forward along the lake. He looked and behaved like an immortal master, and his words were shrewd and cunning. He then said with a proud smile: "Boy, you don't know that I Where do you come from, and you don’t know who I am, how can you reveal my background?”
Yu Ye reached out and scratched his head.
As mentioned, although I have known Gui Yuanzi for decades, I have never known his true identity. The only thing confirmed is that he is an expert, that's all.
"You can die if you want, live if you want, do you care? You are a heartless person who refuses to save anyone. If it weren't for my compassion, you would have died eight times."
Gui Yuanzi continued to preach lessons and showed his unforgiving attitude.
Yu Ye was speechless, but not to be outdone, he said: "You were afraid of the senior in red, so you hid in Tianzhu Mountain. If it hadn't been a coincidence today, I would have been kept in the dark. When I see her in person someday, I will definitely report it truthfully..."
"I'm afraid of a mother-in-law? What a joke!"
Gui Yuanzi suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Boy, I am telling you, you must not interfere with my grudges with her, otherwise our sixty-year friendship will be wiped out, hum!"
He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with an anger.
Yu Ye was unexpected and said hurriedly: "Old Guiyuan, I have a question for you..."
"Go to Tianwu Mountain in three days. It's not too late to talk to you if you have anything to say. And remember, you are not allowed to mention our past with others!"
Some people died, but not completely...
