That night, Jiang Yujin had a hearty meal in the house, but Sun Zikai was not in the house. The two had divided rooms, Jiang Yujin was in the main room, and Sun Zikai was in the west room next to the iron fence.
After the first night, there were no more sounds of beasts in the Xianyuan. And every night, Sun Zikai would jump into the Xianyuan alone. What he did was naturally hurt the animals and draw blood from each animal. A little bit, you can take it next time. The powerful physique and strength made it difficult for the beasts to distinguish who is the beast. It also made the beasts in the middle part of the garden feel like meeting the King of Hell when they saw Sun Zikai. And on the first night The big-headed beast that first rushed to the iron fence has become a "guard dog", guarding against the beast making noise here every night and disturbing the rest of the people in the house.
Deep in the black forest, Sun Zikai was sitting on the back of a huge black lion. The black lion looked like a fierce god. Its two forearms were as thick as stone pillars. The hair on its body was as hard as spikes. Its three tails were like cat tails. They were soft on the ground. Compared with the rabbit on the edge of the black forest, the black lion is considered to be quite advanced, but at the moment it is extremely obedient.
Sun Zikai murmured to himself: "It would be great if I could understand your language. You are always hemming and hawing. How can I understand what you are saying?"
The black lion raised its head and stammered. Its voice was as loud as a bell last night. It was only after being bled that it became such a little bird.
"Is there really a beast more powerful than a wolf? Are you a tiger? Or a lion?" The most powerful beast Sun Zikai has ever seen is a wolf. And many of the beasts in the dark forest had strange shapes, which broadened his horizons and made him interested in the unknown areas of the world. He thought, why are humans the only ones who can talk? Could it be that in another place, people have become captive characters, and beasts live in houses like humans? If we think more openly, will there be other races besides beasts and humans?
With the moonlight shining on him, Sun Zikai stretched his body and said, "It's so late, it's time to go back." Then he patted the black lion's belly and stood up.
The black lion didn't dare to get up, so he lay down and looked at him. Sun Zikai said, "Thank you for your blood tonight. Call the yellow-haired one here tomorrow. It's his turn."
The black lion nodded, and Sun Zikai said cheerfully: "Can you understand people? It's really interesting. Beasts can understand people, but people can't understand beasts. He's gone." He raised his feet and flew away. After getting out, the black lion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next morning, Sun Zikai found a wooden board, carved the three characters "Anshengju" with a knife, and hung it on the wall to the left of the gate as the name of the courtyard. All the grass within a hundred feet was ignited. After the fire burned for ten breaths, an elder rushed over and shouted to Sun Zikai in the flames: "You bastard! What are you doing with the fire?"
Sun Zikai spread his hands and said, "Elder, look around here. The land is all barren. I'm thinking about what to plant."
"You!" The elder was angry and did not dare to say anything. The elders at the outer gate had already said hello to them. These two guys have special status and should not be provoked at will. "What if we burn down the sect's house!"
Sun Zikai pointed around, and the flames stopped burning when they reached a hundred feet. He said: "I know, but it can't be burned." Sure enough, after a few dozen breaths, the flames went out, and the area within a hundred feet in the southeast, north, and south became bare. , Sun Zikai gestured and said: "Elder, I plan to plant trees in the north, dig a pond to raise fish in the south, and plant some vegetables in the east, no problem."
The elder's teeth were chattering, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Then you have to pay enough money every month, kid."
"Of course, of course, we must follow the rules."
The elder left angrily, muttering to himself as he left, "It's strange, why doesn't the beast in the garden stop barking at night?"
The same problem was also reported to Wu Lanmu, the leader of the Beast Sect, by his subordinates. Wu Lanmu even sent people to check the middle section of Xianyuan. They found that the beasts in the middle section of Xianyuan had become extremely docile during this period, and their animalistic nature was greatly weakened. , actually still has some servility, and the way he looks at people is no longer as brutal and arrogant as before.
The inner disciples and elders checked the middle section many times but could not find a reason. Of course, they did not have the courage to go in at night. In the end, Wu Lanmu came to the conclusion that there should be a beast in the park that was about to give birth to a king, so that other beasts did not dare to do it again. However, the theory of kingship was originally a fantasy of the animal sect and had no basis. Wu Lanmu was very annoyed by the rabbit incident. , had no intention of taking care of it, so he dismissed the matter hastily.
And the cultivating disciple who gave the courtyard to Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin became the biggest beneficiary. He even said hello to Sun Zikai and paid next month's rent for him. From this, he basically gained I went to Manqian Tower in exchange for two books for the opportunity to practice magic. I heard that Sun Zikai wanted to plant trees and vegetables, and he thoughtfully sent saplings and vegetable seeds.
Jiang Yujin was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and Sun Zikai was sitting taking care of the vegetables. He said, "I made ten taels of silver last time, but I didn't touch it. I have to tell you, I want to give three taels to the gatekeeper. One tael. We have food for two rations, and we have to spend one tael to repair the roof and buy some furniture.”
"You can use it however you want, it's just such a small amount of money." Jiang Yujin was sweating profusely and said, "Let's go to Manqianlou and ask for a book of cultivation methods. Our level is too low. If we learn The technique may not progress quickly."
"Okay." Sun Zikai put down the vegetables, clapped his hands, sighed, and said, "That guy has been peeking at us for a long time, and he didn't come up to ask questions, ha..."
"Who?" Jiang Yujin stopped, looked around, and could only see the wall, and said, "Is there anyone there?"
"Yes, he is a master. His energy level is not low. He should be able to reach heaven."
"Ah?" Jiang Yujin whispered, "There is a powerful Jindan person monitoring us? When and where? Why?"
"Perhaps our performance in completing the task was too outrageous, or..." Sun Zikai hesitated, "What I did in the Xianyuan was noticed, but I never left any traces. Maybe It’s because the beasts stopped barking.”
After half a stick of incense, the two walked out of the door. Jiang Yujin looked at a small sapling on the north slope and a vegetable field in the east, and said in shock: "When did you finish doing this? Didn't he just deliver vegetable seeds this morning? This It’s just past noon!”
"I have nothing to do..."
The two walked to the main road of the sect, crossed a bridge tens of feet high in the upper part of the Xianyuan, and came to the west of the sect. This was also the only opportunity for the outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect, and Manchu Qian Lou is located in the center of the inner gate of Yao Pai.
The inner sect disciples wear uniforms, and most of them are in a hurry and have no time to deal with the little people in the outer sect.
Manqian Tower is also easy to find. It is the tallest tower in the sect. Soon after they arrived in front of the building, they saw nearly a hundred people entering and exiting the building, but most of them were inner sect disciples.
At this time, Jiang Yujin shouted, "There is food! We are here!"
Sun Zikai had discovered Yang Youshi a long time ago, but she didn't say anything. Jiang Yujin was born as a princess, and she didn't understand the shackles that the gap between status and origin brought to people.
Yang Youshi, who had just left the building, finally saw Sun Zikai after a year. She ran over excitedly and shouted: "Brother, are you okay?"
"It's better not to have you," Sun Zikai said with a smile, "Look at how fat you are."
"I have gained weight. I have gained a lot of weight. I eat a lot of food that I have never seen before. I eat five meals a day now! But I have also grown taller and I take medicinal baths every day. It feels very comfortable."
Jiang Yujin asked: "You have food, why don't you come to us? We can't go up, but you should be able to come down."
Yang Youshi had a sad face and said: "I ran away many times and was caught by Master every time. Master is very strict with me. I can't practice less than seven hours a day. He also said that if I don't practice to the fifth stage of Qi training, I won't be able to do it." I am allowed to leave the inner door even half a step, not even to write a letter, hey..."
A young man of similar age walked over, it was Ma Kaiyu. Ma Kaiyu had a kind face and asked: "Is he your friend?"
Yang Youshi nodded and replied, "It's my brother and sister."
Ma Kaiyu nodded towards the two of them and reminded: "It's time to go back, grandpa is waiting for us."
"But I..." Yang Youshi discussed, "Brother Kaiyu, can you..."
Ma Kaiyu said: "You don't know grandpa's temper, let's go."
Sun Zikai said: "Let's go, I'll see you again later."
"But..." Yang Youshi was reluctant to leave. Sun Zikai touched her head and pulled Jiang Yujin towards Manqian Building without looking back.
Jiang Yujin was very confused and said: "What are you doing? We haven't seen you for so long. Why do you have such an attitude!"
"She is living a good life. There is a huge difference in status between us and her now. It is not good for anyone to stay together." Rao said this, but he still stopped and turned around.
Yang Youshi was wiping tears in grievance when Sun Zikai asked, "Is anyone bullying you?"
Yang Youshi paused for a while, felt even more aggrieved, nodded, and said, "It's okay, brother, don't worry about me."
"who bullied you?"
Yang Youshi glanced forward, and Sun Zikai took a look and saw that they were both girls, one was Runan, and the other was a nine-year-old girl Feng Yueyi.
At this time, fifteen-year-old Ma Yuhong walked out of the building, followed by Qu Yuezhi, who was two years older than him. He looked like a follower. Ma Yuhong had no room for outsiders in his eyes. He walked straight past without stopping. But he said sharply: "Why are you still stopping here!"
With just one sentence, Ma Kaiyu and Yang Youshi were so frightened that they tiptoed. Yang Youshi gave Sun Zikai a look and trotted along with Ma Kaiyu to keep up with Ma Yuhong.
Jiang Yujin said: "This person is so cruel. Youshi must have been reprimanded many times."
"Be fierce, there's nothing wrong with it, and it's not pretentious. People with pleasant looks often hide evil intentions." Sun Zikai lowered his head and saw a hand touching the handle of his knife, but he didn't pull it out.
And that person was Feng Yueyi, "What a beautiful knife. Why does it look like this? Did you make it yourself? Are you from the Qi sect?"
Runan followed and said, "Why is there a Qi sect in the outer sect?" Then he looked at Sun Zikai, "You are a cultivator, what does it have to do with Yang Youshi?"
"friend."
"Oh," Runan said calmly, "Where is your family?"
"Ansheng Pass."
"Ansheng Pass? What kind of place is this?"
Sun Zikai was very surprised and said: "It's Ansheng Pass behind the mountain."
"Oh, you are from behind the mountain, and you come to Manqianlou too? Are you...very rich?" Runan said directly.
Sun Zikai understood what the other party meant. This Manqian Building was not easy for outer disciples to enter. With his current level of Qi Condensation, it didn't look like he came by completing tasks.
Sun Zikai said: "Yes, I have saved a lot of money." He expected that the other party would not ask more questions, but in fact, Runan didn't care and pulled Feng Yueyi to leave.
Feng Yueyi was still looking at the knife lovingly. Sun Zikai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you and Yang Youshi have any... misunderstandings?"
Feng Yueyi did not look back, Runan only glanced at him indifferently, and the two left quickly.
Sun Zikai shrugged his shoulders and walked into the tower with Jiang Yujin.
"Such a low level? Do you two brats know where this place is?" Before the gatekeeper finished speaking, he caught the wood pieces handed over by the two men. "Tsk, that's strange. There are only two places every year. The outer gate Those old guys actually gave it to you two, go in, go up to the third floor, and each person is limited to one copy."
The two stepped in. The first floor was about three feet high, but the space seemed very crowded. The bookshelves stretched from the floor to the ceiling, one next to the other. There were no gaps and it was difficult for even light to penetrate. There were about four hundred bookshelves. Many disciples were standing among them. There was constant noise outside the building, but the inside was as quiet as night.
Sun Zikai wondered: "He just let us choose, what if I read every book?"
Just as he finished speaking, a voice sounded from behind, "Shut up." The inner disciple scolded in a low voice, "Keep absolutely quiet!"
"I'm sorry, I understand." Sun Zikai apologized immediately. But he still had this question, what was the point of asking his disciples to choose only one book? Anyone who comes in can browse through it at will.
Jiang Yujin opened a book, flipped through a few pages, and said, "I can't understand it at all."
"Shut up!" Someone yelled next to him.
Jiang Yujin put down the book, put her mouth next to Sun Zikai's ear, and whispered: "I can't understand it at all. We don't have a master to teach us, so we can't understand it, and the inner disciples are not afraid to read it. We are suffering a big loss."
Sun Zikai also leaned over and whispered: "I'll choose, it's okay, you smell so good."
He stood still and took a deep breath. Hundreds of air currents that only he could see appeared. He closed his eyes and felt each air wave caused by different people's emotions. Who was ecstatic and who While he was beating his chest and stamping his feet, who was thinking wrongly? After a moment, he knew clearly and led Jiang Yujin up to the second floor, where he happened to see a female disciple of the inner sect put a book of magic back on the bookshelf.
After the man left, the two of them quickly walked over and took out the thick book of spells called - Divination of the Realm of Things.
The eyes of the two of them shone brightly. Jiang Yujin sighed with her mouth that it was so thick. An inner disciple happened to be passing by and caught a glimpse of this. He kindly reminded him: "The one you can't learn from this book, let's change it."
Sun Zikai immediately turned his head and made a hissing gesture, and whispered: "No talking is allowed here."
The man was startled for a moment, then smiled suddenly, nodded, and then left.
Sun Zikai closed his eyes again and felt the airflow on the floor. Jiang Yujin noticed that the second floor looked very similar to the first floor, but the number of people on the second floor was four-fifths less, and many books on the bookshelves were covered with dust. It probably hasn't been touched for a long time.
Sun Zikai opened his eyes and led Jiang Yujin back to the first floor. He turned around several times and found the target. But there happened to be a person taking out the spell, and Sun Zikai came because he sensed his emotions.
What is surprising is that this person is not a disciple, but a strong man. The man of Jindan is none other than Hu Xincheng, the leader of the Qi sect.
It is rare for a sect master to come to Manqianlou, but Hu Xincheng is an exception. He is an immortal idiot who only wants to practice cultivation.
Inadvertently, Hu Xincheng also saw the slender knife. He did not care about the identities of the two outer disciples. He would always look at the instrument and think deeply when he saw it. He said to himself: "You can only win with speed, don't fight head-on with other weapons. The upper limit is too low, and the lower limit is bottomed out. Why don't you use a good weapon?"
He did not wait for Sun Zikai's response, and walked towards the door with the spell in hand.
Sun Zikai had no choice but to sense the airflow again and led Jiang Yujin to the third floor. There were six bookshelf corridors on the third floor, each of which was guarded by an elder. On this floor, they could only see the two outer disciples, and There are only a few dozen inner disciples.
Quietly, he came to the middle of a long corridor, moved a ladder, and climbed up. Sun Zikai was about to reach out, but stopped. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he saw a dark figure through the cracks in the book.
Sensing that there was no one around, Sun Zikai whispered: "Do you want to see which book I choose?"
The black shadow behind the bookshelf was silent, as if it was not a living thing, just a shadow. Jiang Yujin, who was under the ladder, thought he was talking to herself and shouted softly: "What did you say? I can't hear you."
Sun Zikai whispered again: "You have been hiding in the dark and staring at me for many days. What's the matter?"
The black shadow finally trembled, and after a long time, a voice came through, "How do you know?"
"Not only do I know this, but I also know that you just stopped an inner disciple at the door and told me something. That disciple has been waiting outside. I guess he was instructed by you to cause trouble for me and to test me. Bar."
"How did you know?"
Sun Zikai looked around and said in a low voice: "You are here for the matters related to Xianyuan."
The man's tone changed a little, and he responded to Sun Zikai's guess and said, "It was indeed you who did what happened in the Xianyuan."
"It's me, but I didn't hurt those beasts, uh... I didn't kill them."
"Didn't you bake it and eat it?"
"Ah? No." Sun Zikai recalled it carefully, and then said categorically: "It's impossible. I won't admit what I didn't do. I only took some of their animal blood, but not their lives."
After all, Sun Zikai misunderstood. The other party was talking about rabbits, and he was talking about beating the beasts at night to cut their blood.
The man was silent for a moment and said, "You haven't told me yet, how did you know what I was doing."
Sun Zikai couldn't answer this question rashly. He thought deeply for a while and replied: "You should ask about my origin. I have walked on the edge of life and death countless times. I have a special sense of danger around me."
"Oh? Aren't you from Zachuang?"
"Haha, then you must keep it a secret from me."
The two faced each other quietly for a long time, and then the black shadow moved. Before leaving, he said, "The temptation outside the door is still valid. Also, that book is not suitable for you."
"Then you would recommend one!"
The black shadow was stunned. After three breaths, he pointed casually, and a book fell from the sky and lay on Jiang Yujin's hand. The name of the technique was - Earth Binding.
Sun Zikai jumped down and saw the elder guarding the corridor paying respects to the figure from a distance.
He originally wanted to stay in Manqianlou for a long time, but he was afraid that what he did in Xianyuan would be discovered. It would be fine if it led to punishment. If Anshengguan and Youshi were involved...
Pulling Jiang Yujin and walking quickly downstairs towards the door, Jiang Yujin whispered urgently: "Don't you want to watch? Are you leaving now?"
When they came to the door, the elder didn't care what books he took and let them go.
Going out in a hurry, Jiang Yujin could hardly keep up. It was not until she walked out of the crowd and came to a secluded place that the inner disciple who had been waiting for a long time appeared.
Sun Zikai let go of Jiang Yujin's hand and walked quickly towards the man. The inner disciple said loudly: "Boy, I..."
Just as he said this, Sun Zikai suddenly flashed in front of him, pushed out a palm, and hit his chin. The man flew up one foot and a half, lost consciousness in the air, and then fell to the ground.
Sun Zikai pulled out the knife, a cold light flashed by, but the tip of the knife stopped at the man's neck.
Jiang Yujin held Sun Zikai's hand tightly, big beads of sweat fell from her brows, and she asked in shock: "What are you going to do?"
Sun Zikai paused for a moment, then withdrew his hand and returned with the blade drawn in an arc at his waist. Finally, he sheathed the knife. He raised his head, condensed, and then led Jiang Yujin, who was still in shock, across the high bridge to the east.
Fu Zhe was standing not far away and saw everything that had just happened. At first he was just curious, then he was suspicious. He was observing the daily life of the two brats. He got deeper and deeper. This boy became more and more strange. How did he get the He had obtained the only special quota for the outer sect to enter the Manqian Building every year, and this morning he went to the repair room to interrogate, but it turned out to be a mistake. The elders in the repair room completely confirmed the special identities of Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin, and Fu Zhe felt even more that the kid was different from the elders' enthusiastic pretense of support.
He originally just wanted to secretly observe what spells the kid would choose, but he didn't expect that his every move would be seen. And just now, the inner disciple he specially selected, who was at the second level of Qi training, was killed by the kid. ...One palm...Solved it.
Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin returned to Anshengju. Sun Zikai asked Jiang Yujin to go back to his room and stay there while he laid out a straw mat in the courtyard, put a table on it, and sat cross-legged at the table with a long knife across the table. He began to wait.
But he guessed the man's movements wrongly. Fu Zhe did not come to him, nor did he appear in the darkness around him.
At nightfall, he stopped waiting and said hello to Jiang Yujin in the room. He flew into the Xianyuan. He was discovered anyway, so he might as well continue.
After walking alone in the darkness for a long time, I arrived at my footing. There was already a yellow-haired beast lying on the ground waiting for me.
Seeing Sun Zikai coming, it was frightened and raised its front legs tremblingly. Sun Zikai did not move, squatting in front of the beast, looking at it indifferently, and said coldly: "Is there any beast that reported on it? What I did, Why was it discovered? Did you tell others?"
There was murderous intent in his tone, and the beast, which stood as tall as a tree, faltered in fear.
Sun Zikai stood up and stretched out his hand. The beast felt that it was time to die. Seeing the hand getting closer and closer, it closed its eyes nervously, and yellow hair exploded all over its body.
However, Sun Zikai just gently stroked the beast's head and said: "You're kidding, you can't speak human language, how could you betray me? Ah, it's obviously me who is taking your blood. Even if you tell others, it doesn't count as betrayal." I, hiss... it seems that I have to speed up the body tempering process to avoid having to enter in the future. Tonight, how about... pumping more?"
The beast did not dare to move, but at this moment, a pleasant voice sounded from one side, "Huh? It's you, what are you doing here? How did you tame it?"
Sun Zikai was shocked. He clearly felt that a small beast came to him, but how could it be a human being?
Under the moonlight, the girl was Feng Yueyi whom she met during the day.
