The clear sound of cloud still seems to linger around my ears, but there is a silence in the hall of open fire. Only the wisps of fireworks at the top of the hall seem to reveal what is happening in the silence.
Deep in the hall of open fire, more than 50 feet down, is a spirit cave for alchemy. In the past, the ancestors of Lingxiao zongdan hall, who had great powers and Taoism, used secret methods to draw fire from the earth and forbidden array, which became the most suitable place for alchemy. There is a huge round grotto, surrounded by 22 alchemy rooms. No matter the quality of the ground fire or the configuration of the alchemy furnace, it is the best place in Lingxiao sect. For many years, I don't know how many elixirs have been made here, adding luster to Lingxiao sect.
The important Dan meeting was held here under the personal leadership of elder Yunni.
From early in the morning to now, there is no sign that the Dan society will stop. The disciples of the Dan Hall who participate in the Dan society are directly assigned a room for alchemy, and then the necessary spiritual materials are naturally sent in. The rest is to face the fire of the earth and the furnace of the Dan furnace alone in the room, and walk on the dangerous path of alchemy which can't be made by any mistake.
Zhong Qinglu is in the fourth alchemy room on her left hand. At the moment, she is sitting on the floor in a corner of the alchemy room. Her face is pale, her eyes are absent, her breath is short, and she can even see some cold sweat on her forehead.
After three consecutive rounds of alchemy, even a monk in the state of Yuan congealed would be unable to bear the physical strength. What's more, it's not unusual today. The rules of the alchemy society have already stated that if he fails once, he will be eliminated. In contrast, the pressure of his heart may not be less than that of his physical strength, or even more.
But when the third elixir came out, Zhong Qinglu just felt that her whole strength seemed to disappear. She could not care about anything else, so she just found a place to sit down and leaned against the wall to have a rest.
A young female disciple of Dan Hall came in and took away the elixir. She looked at Zhong Qinglu with some sympathy and some envy. Then she backed out in silence. Zhong Qinglu turned her cheek slightly and was in a daze for a while. Then she stretched out her sleeve and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead.
After sitting for a while, the door of the alchemy room suddenly opened again. The female disciple just now came in again, holding a tray full of properly configured spiritual materials. Then she came and put it gently in front of Zhong Qinglu.
Zhong Qinglu looked down at the tray. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Her face seemed to be white again. The female disciple gave her a worried look and said in a low voice, "elder martial sister Qinglu, are you ok?"
Zhong Qinglu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "how many people are left?"
The female disciple hesitated for a moment. Maybe she didn't want to offend Zhong Qinglu at this moment, or she wanted to have a good relationship with the elder martial sister, who seemed to have a promising future in the future. She bowed her head slightly and didn't speak, but one hand on the tray was suddenly bent, her thumb was bent up, and the other four fingers were straight.
Zhong Qinglu took a look at her palm, nodded slightly, and said nothing more. The female disciple took a look at her, got up in a hurry, and walked out.
"Are there four more..."
When the door of the alchemy room was closed again, Zhong Qinglu was a bit at a loss. She leaned back against the stone wall and looked at the flat stone wall above her head. She felt tired physically and mentally. At this moment, she almost lost her confidence.
She had thought that it would be difficult for her to gain the chance to join elder Yunni, but she had never thought that it would be so difficult. Some of her brothers and sisters who were fighting for this opportunity were familiar and strange, and they were not familiar with each other. However, in the past month, all of a sudden, everyone seemed strange, and they were desperate in alchemy Life.
Maybe everyone, every friar, no matter male or female, has a desire for higher and stronger heart. I used to think that with some talent and family support, I could stand out. It's really naive.
She gave a wry smile and looked a little dejected. She said that it was the support of her family. In fact, in this critical period of time, how could the fallen Zhong family really support her? Even the main spiritual materials she practiced in this period were mostly given by Shen Shi in private.
Thinking of Shen Shi, she can't help but see the figure of the man again. Now, it seems that she hasn't seen him for a long time. It's time to shut up after she went back to the mountain. It's been more than a month now. I don't know what's wrong with him now?
That day, my father insulted him for no reason. He must be very uncomfortable.
Look at the way he left that day, he must be angry, right?
Zhong Qinglu sighed gently, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable softness in her heart. Maybe after going out this time, I'd better find him and explain it to him, and I'll accompany him.
All of a sudden, she thought that if Dan didn't hold on to the end and lost, would he be disappointed?
She slightly pursed her lips and thought for a moment, but suddenly she lost her smile. Her smile was faint and tender. She thought that since he regarded this as a trade, after he failed, he must have said with a thump in his heart, how could he be blind and throw so many things on a fool?Thinking about it, her face was gradually really happy, even a little tired, it seemed to reduce a lot.
Suddenly, the voice of the cloud board reappeared, clear but as if with a mountain of heavy pressure.
Zhong Qinglu stares at the tray with all kinds of spiritual materials in front of her. Her eyes are gradually clear, and her heart is tender. She gently picked up the tray, took a deep breath, then suddenly laughed and stood up, but said to herself in a soft voice:
"I'm not a fool! Just wait
The laughter was light but gentle, echoing in the alchemy room, as if adding a bit of softness. The woman raised her head, straightened her chest, and went to the burning furnace surrounded by the ground fire again. The light of the fire reddened her cheek, reflected in her eyes, and even more beautiful.
Although the atmosphere outside the open fire hall is not as solemn and heavy as that inside the main hall, everyone knows that after these rounds, I'm afraid that the Dan meeting is coming to the end. If there is no accident, there will be one or two more rounds at most, and the final winner will be decided.
After all, there are almost no stupid people who can practice in Jinhong mountain, including the situation of the Dan Hall disciples who participate in the Dan society. After half a day, almost all of them have been secretly spread. Judging their daily level of alchemy, plus their respective Taoist realm, many people have already judged that the limit of these disciples can almost persist here.
Shen Shi and sun you are standing in the corner of the crowd. Their faces look dignified. Sun you whispers: "the remaining four people, including Zhong Qinglu, are all about the same age. After all, elder Yunni pays more attention to the future potential. But one of them heard that he had reached the high level of Ningyuan realm. I'm afraid that in the end, Zhong Qinglu may not be able to beat him, and her physical strength can't keep up with him. "
In addition to expending a lot of effort in alchemy, the fire of the earth fire Dan is also comparable to the ordinary flame. Even for the monks of Ning Yuan Jing, it is also a great consumption, not to mention that they have to pay attention to the fire elixir all the time in this situation. It's a terrible mistake.
Sun you shook his head, his face showed a bit of fear, and said in a low voice: "mother, what's the matter with the people in the Dan Hall? Is a Dan meeting like this a way to accept or harm people?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "maybe the elder Yunni took this as a test to test all the students."
Sun you nodded and said, "I can only think so."
Shen Shi takes a look at him. Suddenly, his heart moves. After a moment's hesitation, he looks around. Then he pulls sun you to another place where there is no one. Sun you is a little surprised and says, "OK, what do you want me to do here?"
Shen Shi said, "there is something I want to tell you." Then he went up to sun you, lowered his voice, and simply told sun you what he was always interested in.
Listening, sun you's eyes lit up involuntarily. At last, he was so surprised and happy that he almost cried out: "what, you..."
Before the words were heard, Shen Shi had covered his mouth. Sun you made a few "Wuwu" sounds, but his face was full of joy, and he hammered Shen Shi's chest heavily. Shen Shi laughed and let go.
Sun you looked him up and down, laughed, but lowered his voice and said, "I can't imagine that you smelly boy still have this kind of fortune. I hate it. I knew that I learned more five elements in those years."
Shen Shi snorted and said, "come on, it's strange that you can learn, but it's not settled yet. Don't talk about it everywhere."
Sun you nodded and said, "I know. You can rest assured."
Shen Shi took another look at the open fire hall in the distance, and then took sun you to go there again. At the same time, he said, "but you have to do me a favor."
Sun you patted his chest and said, "we two brothers, you can say anything."
Outside the open fire hall, at the end of the day, some people were impatient and left first, while others arrived later. But on the whole, the number of people gathered was increasing, and a long hour passed in silence, but when the sound of cloud again sounded, it was already dusk.
The setting sun slowly falls at the end of the distant sea, and the yellow light illuminates the sunset. In the light of this setting sun, in the already breathtaking sound of the cloud, two figures come out again.
His staggering body seemed to fall as soon as he blew. It seemed that he had exhausted all his mind and physical strength. His face was pale as if he were dead. There was a sense of despair in his eyes. When he reached this point, he fell down at the last step from the goal. No one could accept the pain.
Next to them, a disciple of the Dan Hall comes to help them walk away. Shen Shi and sun you look at each other with a sigh of relief. This time, there is no Zhong Qinglu. In other words, now there are only the last two people left, Zhong Qinglu is one of them, and the next round of alchemy can be seen by everyone inside and outside the open fire hall, which is obviously the final battle.
It's at this moment whether it's success or failure, whether it's promising or not.The sound of whispering and discussing suddenly rings again in the crowd outside the hall. The names of Zhong Qinglu and the other remaining disciple Lin Jingde are talked about by countless people almost at the same time.
Sun you turned his head, frowned slightly, and said with some worry: "Lin Jingde is the senior disciple of Ning Yuanjing. He was born in the Lin family of LiuYun City, and has always been valued by his family. I'm afraid that he has lost countless blood this time. It's really better than the last..." He didn't say any more, just shook his head slowly.
I don't know when it was dark. The disciples on the other side of the Dan Hall lit a few bonfires directly outside the hall. The flames lit up the nearby places and reflected in Shen Shi's eyes. Looking at him in silence, it seemed that there were two flames burning silently in his eyes, staring silently at the open fire hall standing in the dark.
In the depths of the hall, what is she now?
