To the east of the city is the Kong clan city.
Jiang Yuebai followed Li Jiuchuan and walked into this city within the city with the old man who led the way.
Walking slowly along a straight road, the ten-foot-high walls on both sides were covered with philosophical articles, and the sound of reading loudly echoed. Jiang Yuebai watched and listened, feeling at peace in his heart.
"Master, is there any mystery on this road?" Jiang Yuebai asked in a low voice.
When the old man who led the way heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yuebai, and explained in a voice that was neither high nor low, neither humble nor overbearing, shaking his head.
"This is the 'straight road'. You must enter from this road when entering the Confucius Gate. This is to let the world know that upright people walk along the road. Logically speaking, they are fair and selfless. They do not seek safety and ambition, and do not do things for danger. Articles on both sides They are all written by German scholars throughout history. Reading more and reading more can help people calm down and cultivate their minds and nature."
Jiang Yuebai's head swayed in circles imitating the old man's unconscious movements. Li Jiuchuan lowered his eyes at her, and she quickly calmed down.
The straight road was very long, and the old man who led the way walked very slowly. Jiang Yuebai wished he could use the air-breaking dodge to dodge directly to the end, and the old man who led the way took them away for a quarter of an hour.
Jiang Yuebai turned to look at his master, who was calm as usual, not even a little anxious.
clang--
The bell rang, long and sweet, with lingering sound.
Several children with cloth scarves tied on their heads and dressed in snowy white ran out of the nearby city gate laughing and playing, adding a little vitality to this dull old city.
"Ahem!"
The old man coughed hard, and the children's playing sound suddenly stopped. As if they were facing a disaster, they all stood aside and worshiped respectfully.
"I have met the Master."
The old man walked up to the child with a straight face and said, "In the Kong clan city, you are not allowed to walk fast or speak loudly. How is it appropriate to have fights and fights just after class? Go and copy the articles on both sides of the straight road and quote them. As a warning."
The children all looked sad and looked like they were about to cry, but they still bowed respectfully and all said yes.
Jiang Yuebai trembled suddenly, feeling so terrible!
Although she loves learning, she also doesn't like copying books, especially things that have already been memorized. Copying them again is a waste of time and tormenting herself.
"It made you two laugh."
The old man said something with cupped hands and led them to continue walking. Seeing that his master never spoke, Jiang Yuebai also pursed his lips tightly.
This place, for people like her who are apprentices and students, has a kind of blood-based suppression, which makes her heart tremble.
Walking through the straight road, Jiang Yuebai saw the simple and thick white walls with gray tiles and the tall gatehouse, solemn and majestic.
Walking further in, you can see pavilions, pavilions, ponds, waterside pavilions, vines, green bamboos, and small boats on the green lake.
There are male disciples of the Kong family, all dressed in snow-white clothes, smiling solemnly, and moving cheerfully.
People gather in groups of three or five, either gathering at the waterside pavilion in the lake and talking loudly, or gathering outside the green bamboo forest to compete with each other in poetry and martial arts, showing the aura of a prosperous family.
Unlike the families Jiang Yuebai had seen elsewhere, the Kong family made her truly feel the cultural heritage of a big family.
However, along the way, all she saw were men.
"You two, the clan leader and Elder Huaide are inside."
The old guide led the person outside a pavilion nestled among green pines and cypresses, and motioned to Li Jiuchuan to take Jiang Yuebai in.
"Thank you."
Before Li Jiuchuan came, he handed over a greeting note explaining his identity and purpose of coming. Since the clan leader and the elder of the Kong family were willing to meet him in person, Jiang Yuebai felt that there was a reason for the matter.
Following Li Jiuchuan into the hall, Jiang Yuebai peeked half of his head out and saw an elegant, upright middle-aged man in white clothes sitting at the top.
Stern and a bit cold, he must be Kong Huaizheng, the contemporary head of the Kong family.
There is also a middle-aged man on the left, who looks somewhat similar to the clan leader of the Kong clan, but is more gentle and gentle, with a smile in his eyes that makes people look friendly. He should be Kong Huaide, the eldest elder of the Kong clan, and the second brother of the clan clan leader.
The eldest elder, Kong Huaide, is in the late stage of Yuanying cultivation. The clan leader, Kong Huaizheng, is in the middle stage of Yuanying. They also have an elder brother, Kong Huaichun, who has a Taoist heart as his name suggests. He also has the best qualifications among the three. He is now at the peak of Yuanying and is planning to transform into a god. .
"Jiuchuan and his disciple Yuebai pay homage to Clan Chief Kong and Elder Huaide."
Li Jiuchuan bowed first, and Jiang Yuebai hurriedly walked forward half a step, bowing obediently and obediently.
"Junior Jiang Yuebai has met two seniors."
The clan leader Kong Huai was sitting still and said, "No need to be polite, True Lord Jiuchuan, please take a seat."
The Great Elder Kong Huaide stood up and stepped forward, giving Li Jiuchuan a virtual hand.
"I have long heard of the reputation of True Lord Jiuchuan, and today I saw that he is indeed a humble gentleman, quite like my Kong family. Is this your disciple who is known as the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Black Bird and is famous in the Cangyan Land?"
Jiang Yuebai almost fainted. Why did even the great elder of the Kong family know about this outrageous rumor? Faced with Kong Huaide's scrutiny, she could only smile awkwardly.
"Seniors have given me too much praise. I just did what I should do that day, and I can't live up to the rumors from the outside world."
Kong Huaide nodded slowly, "He is a humble and good boy. He has reached the middle stage of foundation building at such a young age, which shows that he has extraordinary perseverance. He is not like those brats from the Kong family who have to be watched while studying and practicing."
Kong Huaide said this, but Jiang Yuebai didn't see any recognition of him in his eyes, he was just complimenting his master.
Jiang Yuebai secretly looked at his master. The elders' routine was to belittle their own children and compliment other people's children. Alas...
Li Jiuchuan gave Jiang Yuebai a gentle look and said with a smile, "My disciple's perseverance in practice is indeed unparalleled. Even I often feel inferior to him. He is also smart and studious, and is regarded as the most respected one in our Tianyan Sect." As a role model, even the Supreme Elder of my sect was full of praise and said that he has the style of the ancestor."
The corners of Jiang Yuebai's mouth couldn't help but start to rise, his eyes were full of smart smiles, and he straightened his back to show his spirit.
I thought to myself, Master, if you are so good at speaking, then speak more.
Kong Huaide responded with a smile, raised his hand and asked Li Jiuchuan to sit down.
Jiang Yuebai stood obediently behind Li Jiuchuan. The people present were too senior and too advanced to sit down.
Li Jiuchuan got straight to the point, "My purpose of coming has already been stated in my greetings. I wonder if the clan leader and great elder would be willing to exchange with me."
exchange?
Jiang Yuebai's ears perked up. What was the exchange? Master didn't say anything?
Clan leader Kong Huaizheng and Kong Huaide looked at each other, and Kong Huaizheng asked, "Jiuchuan Zhenjun, can you let us take a look at the 'Chaos Erosion Spirit Fruit' first?"
Chaos Erosion Spirit Fruit? !
Jiang Yuebai almost screamed in shock. She had seen it in a book before, and it was almost like a legendary spiritual fruit.
This is a divine object that helps people transform into gods, and can help peak Yuanying monks overcome the most difficult level of soul fusion.
That is to say, it can swallow up and integrate the five elements of the Nascent Soul monk into one, and then use the trace of chaotic energy to attract the two gods of Yin and Yang. This is equivalent to the effect of the best foundation-building pill on foundation-building.
If you eat it, as long as it is not particularly useless, you will definitely succeed in transforming into a god.
Moreover, if the trace of chaotic energy in the fruit can be thoroughly comprehended and refined before it dissipates, it will be equivalent to laying a foundation for the avenue of chaos, and the possibility of touching the top of the avenue will greatly increase.
The rarity of this fruit is self-evident, enough to drive Yuanying monks crazy, and it has not appeared for tens of thousands of years.
Jiang Yuebai was feeling uneasy at this time. She originally thought that this visit was a 'borrow' that was easy to negotiate. After she passed the threshold of forming pills and had enough lifespan, she would look for something of equal value to 'repay'. .
He didn't expect that his master would actually do a loss-making business!
Jiang Yuebai immediately reached out to pull his master away. This exchange was obviously a loss for them and could not be exchanged!
Li Jiuchuan glanced at Jiang Yuebai with his peripheral vision and secretly transmitted the message.
"I knew that if I made it clear to you earlier, you would never come back even after death, so I kept it secret from you first. You don't have to worry about this. I am currently in the early stage of Yuanying. It will take at least four to five hundred years to reach the peak of Yuanying. . With your current level of cultivation, you will definitely reach the peak of foundation building within twenty years at most."
"If you get the remaining two spiritual objects early, you have to do it quickly. I marked the Chaos Spirit-eating Fruit Tree. In about three hundred years, the next fruit will mature. I can afford to wait, but you can't. This matter There’s no need to argue, just stay quiet.”
Jiang Yuebai's nose was sore. She wanted to speak but was glanced at by her master's stern eyes, so she had to suppress the words that came to her lips.
Li Jiuchuan did not directly take out the Chaos Erosion Spirit Fruit, but took out a jade plate to activate it.
A round fruit that looks like ink stained in water appears in the sky above the jade plate. Although it is an image, it is clearly visible and exudes a faint fragrance, which is no different from the real fruit.
"This fruit is valuable. I will keep it in a safe place. If the clan leader agrees, we can find a witness and exchange it immediately."
The clan leader Kong Huaizheng said, "Jiuchuan Zhenjun is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush anymore. My eldest brother really needs this fruit to attack the gods right now. If what you have in your hand is real, I, Kong, can..."
"Wait!"
Kong Huaide interrupted the clan leader Kong Huaizheng. Kong Huaizheng was slightly unhappy, but still respected his second brother and waited for him to speak first.
Kong Huaide's eyes moved slightly and he said with a smile, "The green clam flying money is one of the relics of my Kong family. It is of great significance to me, Kong family. Such an exchange may be inappropriate. Why not make a bet between True Lord Jiuchuan and me, Kong family?" How about replying?"
"Betting?" Li Jiuchuan was confused.
Kong Huaide was frowning and about to speak, but Kong Huaide gave him a calm look.
The Great Elder Kong Huaide said, "Since True Lord Jiuchuan is exchanging my Kong family's green clam flying money for your disciple, then she should fight for it herself. The Fengyun Meeting is coming soon, and you and I will send disciples to participate and fight for it." The leader of the battle list.”
"Why don't we take this as a bet? If you, this disciple, can get the leader, I, Kong, will hand over the green clam flying money, and there is no need for True Lord Jiuchuan to exchange it for the Chaos Erosion Spirit Fruit. If I, Kong, get the leader, then …”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuebai gritted his teeth and secretly cursed the shameless old man in his heart.
This was a clear sign that she wanted to prostitute her master's Chaos Spirit Fruit for free, and he also looked down on her!
Li Jiuchuan turned to look at Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai's eyes were blazing with fire, and he raised his eyebrows.
Just bet with him!
She capsized and scattered people, how could she have gained a reputation in vain!
