Chapter 1: Two years of waiting for the opportunity
“Junior brother Kong Zhen (Jiao), I want to borrow this book.”
In front of the table filled with all kinds of old books, there are five big and three thick The man held a yellowed sheepskin ancient scroll and waved towards the young man inside the table.
The young man's face looked pale as if he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time. His long hair was tied up, and he leaned back on the rocking chair behind the desk. He held a storybook in his hand and read it with gusto.
After hearing what the man said, he just glanced at the ancient scroll in his hand with his peripheral vision, and said lazily: "A spiritual crystal from "Linggu Zazao Lun", the borrowing time is one month, extension The fee will be one spiritual crystal per month.”
It was obviously not the first time that the man came to borrow the book. After stuffing the ancient sheepskin scroll into his arms, he carefully took out a thumb. The large and small crystals, which are all milky white with some yellow markings, are placed on the table.
Without looking back, the young man stretched out his palm and swept it from the table. The spiritual crystal had disappeared.
Neither of them said much, and the man left in a hurry holding the "Linggu Zazao Lun".
Until the man’s back almost disappeared at the gate.
The young man named Kong Ji had just put down his script and stared at the man's back with his narrow eyelids.
Less than three inches above the man's head, there was a mist that only Kong Ji could see.
The fog is as big as a fist and is gray in color, rolling like clouds, occasionally revealing a bit of thick black.
"All living beings are in chaos. Only those with three inches of white mist above their heads have a chance to meet. This brother priest has been cultivating spiritual valleys in the sect for more than 20 years. He is a miserable person struggling among all living beings. "One."
"It's both gray and black. I'm afraid he may have encountered difficulties recently. According to "Linggu Zazao Lun", there is probably something wrong with Lingtian."
Kong Zhen was talking to himself, shaking his head and muttering about the man's recent fortune.
After that, Kong Ji took up his pen and recorded the man's name and the borrowed books on the account.
After doing all this, Kong Jiang no longer thought about reading the storybook. His face, which was obviously passable, suddenly wrinkled slightly, with a sad look.
"It's been two years, and the opportunity I've been waiting for has still not arrived!" Kong Zhi's eyes swept across the crowded space of the miscellaneous library where countless books and scrolls were listed, with a slightly frustrated expression.
After staying like this for a long time, Kong Ji suddenly closed his eyes again.
In his mind, a cloud-patterned white jade stone tablet automatically appeared in the depths of his consciousness.
On the surface of the jade tablet, lines of words are clearly engraved.
'Join the Cangwu Sect and you will get a chance value of +1'
'You have joined the Cangwu Sect and you will get a chance value of +1'
'Take the "Jingshuang Yanglun Sutra" as an elective You can get a chance value of +2'
'You have taken "Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra" and you have a chance value of +2'
'You can get a chance value of +2'
'Has obtained the position of Miscellaneous Library, chance value +2'
Two years ago, Kong Ji had just traveled to this world of cultivating immortals, and was guided by the cloud-patterned white jade tablet deep in his consciousness to join Cang Cang. Wu faction.
Then from his selection of the scripture "Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra" for cultivating the realm of the cultivation wheel
to the hard work of getting a position in the miscellaneous library.
Kong Zhen almost thought that he was about to soar into the sky and become the kind of immortal genius in the book.
Until he stayed in this lifeless outer gate library for two years.
Time allowed Kong Jiang to recognize the reality clearly, and the enthusiasm in his heart also faded.
The fact is that according to the guidance of the cloud-patterned stele, Kong Ji, who came to the Cangwu Sect, was no different from the other outer disciples who started at the same time as him.
At least that’s how Kong Geng feels.
The total five chance points obtained from the cloud-patterned white jade tablet did not make Kong Chi feel any different.
Perhaps the only change is that the fog above Kong Jiang's head has changed from gray to gray with a little white.
You really can’t see that bit of white gas if you don’t look carefully.
Just a little bit better than those seekers of truth among all sentient beings.
"That little bit doesn't seem to be enough to change my luck." Kong Zhi thought about this and smiled at himself with the corner of his mouth twitching.
In the first few months, Kong Ji still thought that since the cloud-patterned stele guided him here, it proved that this miscellaneous library would have opportunities.
So Kong Jin worked hard and read through all the books in the miscellaneous library, and his eyes almost turned green.
In addition to gaining a lot of strange knowledge, he did not find any clues about chance.
As a result, he wondered if opportunities were hidden in this miscellaneous library.
As you can imagine, the result was that he had to dig almost three feet into the ground and even inspected the mouse hole no less than ten times, but still found nothing.
For two years, Kong Jiang had already thought about giving up.
"Moiré Monument! Moiré Monument! In order to get this position, I contributed half of my monthly salary of ten spirit crystals to the external affairs department, so that I could fill the vampire's belly. . ”
“Two years have passed, and there are no clues about opportunities, and I am still very poor.”
Kong Xian’s nagging voice echoed in his mind.
After thinking about it for a while, he slumped on the rocking chair like a frustrated ball. He picked up the words and looked at them expressionlessly.
Obviously this is not the first time that Kong Jin has spoken about it in the past two years.
"What is comforting is that I, a disciple with only two spiritual apertures, is now in the third realm of Yanglun, and has not been pulled too far by those geniuses."
The first in cultivation The realm is called Yanglun, which warms and nourishes the spiritual wheel to gather the spirit and absorb the energy.
There are nine small realms in this realm, and Kong Jin is currently in the third small realm.
In fact, given Kong’s talent of only having access to two spiritual orifices, his ability to reach the Three Small Realms in two years is indeed the result of the "Jingshuang Yanglun Jing".
After all, the disciples with the second orifice talent who started at the same time as Kong Ji are basically in the second realm of raising the wheel now.
Only Kong Jin has reached the three realms of Yanglun.
The speed of his cultivation is almost the same as that of the outstanding disciples who have access to the three orifices.
The number of spiritual orifices possessed by the body is related to the talent of the cultivator.
After all, when they breathe out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they all have to pass through the spiritual orifices. The more spiritual orifices there are, the faster they breathe out the spiritual energy.
There are nine orifices in the human body. Basically, at birth, the spiritual orifices will automatically close.
Only very few people with cultivation qualifications have a few spiritual apertures left.
Being born with two spiritual orifices is just an ordinary qualification.
Three Spirit Apertures can almost be regarded as having excellent talents.
The Four Spirit Apertures can become a genius.
The five spirit orifices directly enter the inner door and are fairy seedlings. Kong Zhen had never heard of anyone above the Six Spiritual Apertures, at least in the Cangwu Sect, they had never heard of any genius with the Six Spiritual Apertures.
Oddly enough, there are many people in the entire Cangwu sect who practice the "Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra", but only Kong Ji has miraculous effects in practicing this technique.
I don’t know if it’s the reason why this exercise is so in line with Kong’s body’s spiritual apertures, or because of the blessing of the cloud-patterned monument.
"Alas, I am actually stronger than most people. I really have an old-fashioned heart and am driven by greed." Thinking of his own cultivation level, Kong Xian's gloomy mood was somewhat comforted.
The moiré stele does have mysterious power. It not only allows Kong Ji to see the fortunes of others, but also can always accurately locate opportunities.
If Kong Ji had not entered the Cangwu Sect, it would have been impossible to practice the "Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra".
With his talents and qualifications, I am afraid that he will really be like the priest brother who cultivates spiritual fields, farming honestly in the Cangwu Sect.
After all, in this world, strength is the last word.
"Let's wait another year! If I don't wait until the opportunity comes, I really can't stay in this miscellaneous library." Kong Jiang gritted his teeth, put down the storybook in his hand, and set a time limit for himself. .
Cultivation pays attention to the method of wealth couple. Without spiritual crystals, he cannot increase his cultivation speed.
Elixirs, Taoist methods, and magical instruments all do not require money.
With most of his salary being deducted by the external affairs clerk at the Miscellaneous Library, it was impossible for Kong Xian to quickly improve his strength.
While Kong Ji was planning his future cultivation path.
Ta-ta-ta! Footsteps sounded at the door.
A tall figure stepped into the miscellaneous library.
There was no need to look at the appearance and figure of the visitor. From the corner of his eye, Kong Ji glanced at the color of Qi on the top of the visitor's head and had already determined the visitor's identity.
The mist, which is better than white snow, symbolizes that this person has opportunities far beyond ordinary people.
As for the whole outer sect, Kong Jiang has only seen one person with this kind of energy.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, what do you want to read today?" Kong Jin's face, which had been in a trance a moment ago, was suddenly filled with a sincere smile as he looked at the young man walking towards him.
He has a tall figure, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face that is far more mature than his sixteen or seventeen years old.
This man is none other than the latest rising genius of the outer sect, the most popular disciple Shangguan Yuzhou.
He started at the same time as Kong Ji, and now he has reached the fourth realm of Yanglun. He is also the first genius among that group of disciples to break through the fourth realm.
If there is no accident, he will be the first person to enter the inner door.
"Haha, Junior Brother Kong Ji, I have to borrow books every time I come to the miscellaneous library." Shangguan Yuzhou laughed loudly and his tone was teasing.
From the casual tone of his words, we can see his relationship with Kong Jiang.
Shangguan Yuzhou loves to read some travel notes left by his predecessors, and these things are collected in the miscellaneous library.
Kong Xian is a full-time disciple of the sect who is responsible for the registration of the miscellaneous library.
After going back and forth, the two have known each other for two years, and they are the two most familiar people in the entire outer sect.
Furthermore, Kong Jin’s cultivation speed is not bad either, it is only a small level lower than Shangguan Yuzhou, and he started at the same time.
The key is that Kong Xian feels that Shangguan Yuzhou does not use his power to overwhelm others. He is obviously a genius, but he never puts on airs like those geniuses from the outer sect.
Shangguan Yuzhou felt that Kong Geng's conversation was humorous, intelligent, and knew how to advance and retreat.
Various fates made the two become friends.
“Who doesn’t know that Senior Brother Shangguan loves to read travel notes? If you don’t borrow books, you must have made a special trip to see me.” Kong Jiang raised his eyelids, obviously not believing what Shangguan Yuzhou said.
"Hey, I really came here specifically to see Junior Brother Kong today." Shangguan Yuzhou smiled, with a somewhat mysterious expression.
Kong Ji raised his eyebrows. Shangguan Yuzhou's two major hobbies in life were sword fighting and reading.
Kong Jin didn’t use a sword, and Shangguan Yuzhou definitely didn’t come to him to compete with him, nor to borrow books.
Then why is he here?
Kong Jin spread his hands and showed a helpless expression: "Senior brother Shangguan, don't be too pretentious, junior brother can't guess."
Shangguan Yuzhou did not respond immediately, his eyes were on the miscellaneous books After walking around the building to make sure there was no third person, he finally put his expression away.
Leaning over the table, he said in a deliberately lowered voice: "If I remember correctly, there is a technique called Cold Breathing in the "Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra" practiced by Junior Brother Kong Ji. ”
The Yang Lun Sutra is only the most basic exercise, and there is no big distinction between high and low.
There are at least ten people in the Cangwu sect who practice the Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra, so the Taoist techniques that can be performed by this technique are not a secret.
Of course Kong Jiang would not deny it and nodded in response.
Just looking at Shangguan Yuzhou's dark eyes with some doubts.
"Why did he suddenly ask this question?"
Shangguan Yuzhou naturally knew the secret of Jiangshuang Yanglun Jing. He just confirmed it once just to be on the safe side.
After receiving a positive reply, Shicai continued: "Senior Brother, there is an opportunity here that requires the use of your Cold Breath Technique. I wonder if Junior Brother Kong is interested in getting it with Senior Brother."
"Shangguan Yuzhou is indeed a man of great fortune. He encountered an opportunity two years after starting his career."
Kong Jin had an envious expression on his face, but he was not surprised. The luck that was better than Bai Xue destined him to encounter opportunities more easily than ordinary people.
The only thing that Kong Jiang didn't expect was that Shangguan Yuzhou was actually willing to extend an invitation to him.
“If you have an opportunity, don’t you just keep it all to yourself? Who would want to pull someone together to share the opportunity that belongs to you?”
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Kong Ji’s mind, and he seemed to understand. .
I have been working in Zashulou for two years, and gained Shangguan Yuzhou's trust intentionally or unintentionally.
But that opportunity required the use of the cold breath technique in the Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra that he practiced.
Kong Zhen's current strength is not weak, second only to Shangguan Yuzhou's geniuses, at least he will not be held back.
All kinds of clues are connected together.
Kong Xian understood the real purpose of the moiré tablet that led him to this miscellaneous library. It might be to wait for Shangguan Yuzhou's invitation.
“The moiré stele is really a sacred object.” Kong Fu was secretly shocked.
Shangguan Yuzhou didn't know that Kong Ji had already stirred up trouble in his heart. After Wu finished speaking, he stared at Kong Ji straightly, as if waiting for his answer.
Kong Jin, who had figured out all the cause and effect, did not let Shangguan Yuzhou wait too long. He raised his head and smiled at Shangguan Yuzhou who was full of expectations: "Since it is senior brother Shangguan who speaks, junior brother is naturally obligated. ”
Almost at the same time Kong Jiang responded.
Kong Jin could clearly detect the changes in the white pattern tablet deep in his consciousness.
‘Accept Shangguan Yuzhou’s invitation to break the outer crypt formation and gain a chance value of +5’
