Chapter 12 The Blue Crane of the Lan Family
The stars change and the moon disappears and the sun appears.
The melodious bells rang in Qingfeng Taoist Temple, breaking the tranquility of the night.
There is a escaping light piercing the sky, traveling endlessly on the islands, starting a day of practice.
The Daze where Qingfeng Taoist Temple is located is called Jiuchuan Daze. It is so vast that it is almost like the sea.
And there are countless islands surrounding Qingfeng Mountain.
Most of the islands are not within the scope of the formation, but are the places where aristocratic families and mortals who cling to the Taoist temple live.
There are not many islands that truly belong to the core area, but they are scattered and densely packed, with dozens of them in total.
Among them, Qianjiaoyuan has three islands under its jurisdiction, namely Bailu Island, Qingguang Island and Jinyuan Island.
These three islands are divided into three levels due to different concentrations of spiritual energy. Among them, Bailu Island has the worst spiritual energy and is generally used by monks below the fifth level of Qi refining. Qingguang Island is slightly better. It belongs to those above the fifth level of Qi Refining.
As for Jin Yuan Island, it has the richest spiritual energy. It is usually inhabited by disciples of the ninth level of Qi Refining, or disciples of aristocratic families, who can only stay there if they have the blessing of their master.
But today, Egret Island, which has the weakest aura, is the busiest.
Early in the morning, a dozen disciples, driving various magical weapons, came in a hurry, gathered on a hilltop, and startled a row of egrets.
These disciples are not high in cultivation and are basically between the fourth level of Qi Refining. The cuffs of the cyan robes usually have four green leaves.
But there is a trace of freedom and wildness on his face, and he seems to love "fighting" in his temper.
"Senior Brother Yang, you are here today? Isn't the aura of your Qingguang Island inferior to that of Egret Island? How can you join in the fun?"
There was a face in the crowd. The fourth-level Qi-Refining disciple with a scar on his face curiously asked the only senior who was at the fifth-level Qi-Refining level in the center of the crowd.
Senior Brother Yang is tall, but extremely thin. He seems to be malnourished. His face is a little pale, but his smile has a hint of bohemianism:
"Haha, a wise man doesn't speak secretly. They are all brothers from the same sect, so why hide them? The three caves on this mountain were owned by the three heroes of the Tang sect fifteen years ago. Hehe, these three people have the same mind. It is said that they have one spiritual knowledge secret method and one spiritual consciousness. Guan's 'Sky Silver Water' is of great value. Could it be that you came here today for these two things?"
Seeing Senior Brother Yang being so straightforward, all the Junior Brothers were silent for a while. The junior brother with the scar on his face smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Brother Yang, you have already broken through the fifth level of Qi refining and mastered spiritual consciousness. This 'Sky Silver Water' is completely useless to you. Why do you have to fight with other junior brothers? ?”
"Besides, it seems inconsistent with etiquette to stay at Bailu Island on the fifth level of Qi training, right?"
It seems that because of the large number of disciples behind him, the number of people emboldened him, and the scar-faced junior brother actually questioned the senior brother on the fifth level of Qi training. .
Hearing this, Senior Brother Yang just sneered: "It is indeed inconsistent with etiquette, but in terms of the law in the courtyard, it is okay. After all, the Taoist Academy has never stipulated that the fifth floor of Qi training cannot be stayed on Bailu Island. "
As soon as these words came out, all the junior fellow apprentices cursed secretly in their hearts.
This idiot can't compete with those senior brothers who are above the fifth level of Qi training, so he comes here to compete with us junior brothers for resources. He is really shameless!
But you are shameless and you are truly invincible.
Seeing that Senior Brother Yang was such a rogue, all the Junior Brothers had no choice but to say: "Then I wish Senior Brother good luck!"
Of the three caves, only one has relics.
While one person can only choose one, everyone still has a chance.
However, everyone is a little confused.
"Is it possible that the number one person is Senior Brother Yang?"
Most of the people gathered here today are from poor families and have no seniors. By chance, I heard that there is someone in the cave who can help break through the fourth level of Qi training. Only then did the "Sky Silver Water" from the fifth floor gather.
But the division of the Dongfu is decided by the Personnel Hall.
Although the Taoist Academy stipulates that you only need to pay two spiritual stones to inherit the cave, but that is when no one is competing for it. If there is competition, it will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
But the words "first come, first served" have a lot of room for manipulation.
For more than ten days, the Personnel Hall has not accepted registrations for this matter, and everyone is already worried.
Afraid of not having any connections, I booked one in advance.
So the Personnel Hall has been waiting for the "first applicant" to appear.
Now it seems that this number one person is Senior Brother Yang?
...
But Senior Brother Yang is also beating the drum in his heart.
He went to register two days ago with twenty spirit stones, but he didn't even enter the door of the Personnel Hall.
This made him curious and extremely unwilling at the same time, so he came early.
"Three caves, even if I am not the first one, but if I am lucky and the first place is chosen by me instead of the right cave, then that set of secret techniques and a share of spiritual water will not be worth it. More than forty spiritual stones, not a loss.”
He thought to himself.
"Boom!"
But at this moment, there was a thin and thick sound of thunder outside Bailu Island, and then a horse was covered with thunder, a tall horse with two wings on its back. The Pegasus came through the air.
On the Pegasus, a young man with silver hair and armor sat on it. The young man had an extraordinary handsome face, his eyes seemed to be light blue, and his appearance was extremely strange.
However, the cultivation level is not very high, and it is only the fourth level of Qi refining.
In front of the young man, there was a silver dharma boat. On top of the dharma boat, Qiu Mingshan frowned slightly, as if something was bothering him.
“Deacon Qiu is here, who is the young man following him?”
“Thunder Pegasus, silver hair and blue eyes, a member of the Lan family of Wan Lei Island!”
"The Lan family of Wanlei Island, a descendant of an aristocratic family?"
"Yes, and he is also a descendant of a wealthy family. The Lan family was one of the seven major surnames in our Taoist temple many years ago, but it has declined now, but it is said that some time ago In the year, a disciple named Lan worshiped one of the Seven Meridians, and now he seems to be in the late stage of foundation building.”
While the disciples were discussing, they made various guesses about the identity of the person to come.
“Could it be that this person is the number one person appointed by Deacon Qiu?”
On the top of the mountain, Senior Brother Yang looked at the young man with silver hair and blue eyes, and he was also surprised and doubtful in his heart.
Although the Lan family is in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the Lan family didn't choose the secret method and spiritual water, but he chose it, wouldn't they be resented?
“No, no, no, although the Lan family is unbearable, after all, there are still elders in the foundation building period. How can they work hard for an ordinary spiritual water of the fourth level of Qi training? After all, the spiritual energy of Bailu Island is not as good as that of the Lan family. Where is Wan Lei Island! ”
"Could it be that there is still a mystery in this cave?"
Senior Brother Yang's mind was quick and he immediately thought of another possibility, and his heart suddenly jumped.
"If I choose this cave, won't the opportunity belong to me? Even if I can't hold it, I can exchange it with the Lan family, and I will definitely get a lot of money!"
In a moment! , Senior Brother Yang has wild imaginations.
Above the sky, Qiu Mingshan looked at the young man beside him and was a little confused. He couldn't help but ask:
"Junior brother, are you sure there is 'Blue Crane Spiritual Water' in this cave?"
