Chapter 335 Hidden Dragon in the Abyss
In the guest house of the side hall of Tianlong Temple, the little monk who returned from the main hall did not meditate immediately, but looked out the window idly.
Suddenly, the little monk frowned slightly.
"Good guy! He has entered the state of 'sudden enlightenment' in such a short time? Could it be that the boy's previous life was also a great monk in my Buddhist sect?"
After frowning for a moment, the little monk smiled casually, no longer looking at the scenery outside the window, turned around and sat on a cushion, closed his eyes and meditated, without things and self, and his Zen heart was not moved.
In the Tianlong Pavilion, the long eyebrows of the Dragon Master trembled slightly, and then trembled again, but he did not open his eyes in the end, and did not say anything, as still as a mountain, with a single mind.
Time gradually flowed, silently.
The old house of the Bai family, Bai Zhenzhen's residence.
Bai Zhenzhen was in a bad mood these days, on the one hand because of the rumor that Bai Jintang and Xiao Mian were defeated in a battle, and on the other hand because of the magic crossbow.
At the Tianmen Auction that day, Bai Jintang bought the Divine Crossbow because Bai Zhenzhen liked it. Unexpectedly, the Bai family, which has always been rich and powerful, was in an embarrassing situation of insufficient spiritual stones, so they had to exchange the Divine Crossbow together with the patchwork clothes and the Thunder Spear, and then they won the auction for the ten thousand year old fire beast skin. Although her father and brother both told her the importance of the ten thousand year old beast skin to the Bai family, in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes, the Divine Crossbow was her favorite.
I don't know who got the Divine Crossbow. If there is a chance...
If Bai Zhenzhen knew that the Divine Crossbow has not yet been in Xiao Mian's hands, but it is already in Xiao Mian's name, I am afraid she would scold Xiao Mian for stealing her love.
Now, Bai Zhenzhen no longer has the luck and extravagant hope for Xiao Mian. Not only Bai Zhenzhen, but also Bai Yuanxin, Bai Yuanyi and even all the disciples of the Bai family, all want to eat Xiao Mian's flesh and drink his blood, and want to kill him as soon as possible.
Xiao Mian not only cut off Bai Jintang's hair and took away the triple gold crown, but also recorded all the details with the brand stone, and finally made it public - although the brand stone was announced by the Bashan Venerable, the Bai family put the account on Xiao Mian.
For Bai Zhenzhen, there is another kind of distress and self-blame.
It's all my fault that I talked about Xiao Mian's body refining method in front of my elder brother, which aroused my elder brother's competitive spirit and insisted on competing with Xiao Mian in body refining. It was also my elder brother's fault that he was too arrogant. He thought that he was foolproof after setting up the Tianxing geomagnetic array. Who would have thought that Xiao Mian seemed to be carrying a treasure like Tianxing geomagnetism, and was not suppressed by the Tianxing geomagnetic array - Xiao Mian was really hateful!
He was obviously not suppressed by the array, but he pretended to be suppressed. Despicable!
Bai Zhenzhen was so angry that she forgot whether Bai Jintang, who set up the Tianxing geomagnetic array, was despicable, and whether it was shameless to fight against the foundation with Jindan. She also forgot that there were two Jindan masters, Lu Jiu and Wan Tianfeng, who accompanied Bai Jintang to ambush Xiao Mian.
At this time, a servant came to report that Bai Jintang had come out of retreat and was gathering Bai Zhenzhen, Bai Yuanxin, Bai Yuanyi and others to discuss important matters.
Hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen immediately rushed out of the door and rushed towards Bai Jintang's residence.
Not long after, Bai Zhenzhen saw Bai Jintang.
"Brother! Are you...are you okay?" Seeing that Bai Jintang was refreshed and not as decadent and depressed as she had imagined, Bai Zhenzhen was a little uncomfortable. After looking at Bai Jintang from head to toe, Bai Zhenzhen was suddenly stunned, and then exclaimed: "Brother! You have advanced? You have been promoted to the middle stage of Jindan? Oh my God!"
"A blessing in disguise?"
"But brother, you have only been Jindan for three years. Isn't it too fast to advance so quickly?" Bai Zhenzhen's worry is not redundant. For cultivators, although most of the time they are worried about their own cultivation growth being too slow, or even encountering bottlenecks, it is not a good thing if the cultivation growth is too fast. It may lead to an unstable foundation for the cultivator, increase the difficulty of advancing to a higher level in the future and the final achievement. Bai Jintang patted Bai Zhenzhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I know my limits, big brother!"
At this time, the two brothers Bai Yuanxin and Bai Yuanyi came together. After seeing Bai Jintang's mid-level Jindan cultivation, they were both surprised and suspicious. Although they were cousins of Bai Jintang, they were not brothers from the same mother as Bai Zhenzhen. To put it bluntly, they were still in a competitive relationship with Bai Jintang. But now Bai Jintang not only successfully formed a pill before them, but also advanced to the mid-level Jindan. The two brothers were still struggling in the foundation-building period with the title of the Five Constant Virtues of Confucianism. How could they not be anxious?
In addition, Hong Lianhua and Kong Yuanren successfully formed a pill one after another. Hearing that Yin Jiansheng, the most outstanding disciple of Taoism who was training far away in the border of Nanman, had also formed a pill, the most outstanding disciples of the younger generation of the three major sects formed a pill one after another, which made the two brothers feel more pressured. The two brothers exchanged glances and privately made up their minds that once they had time, they would practice in seclusion.
After greeting each other, the four people of the Bai family sat down peacefully.
"How is he?" As soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Jintang went straight to the point. Although he did not explicitly say who "he" was, the other three people all knew what he meant. They looked at each other calmly, and finally Bai Zhenzhen answered carefully: "Since he escaped into the secluded space that night, I haven't seen the boy again!"
"Oh? It's been almost a month, and he hasn't appeared yet?"
It turned out that Bai Jintang had been in seclusion since he returned to the Bai family's old house last time. In a blink of an eye, a month had passed, and he didn't come out until he broke through to the middle level of the Golden Core a few days ago. What Bai Jintang didn't expect was that Xiao Mian was even more ruthless than him, and he hadn't shown up until now.
"That kid, didn't he escape from Wanzong City?" Bai Yuanxin just said this, Bai Jintang shook his head and said calmly: "Impossible! Although that kid is not a reckless person, he is definitely not the kind of person who will withdraw when the situation is not good. You may not understand that if someone like him chooses to give in this time, it will inevitably affect his future practice, and even generate a demon in his heart, making it difficult to improve - just like me, if I can't face Xiao Mian directly this time, my cultivation in the Jindan realm will end..."
Bai Jintang said this as a matter of course, but Bai Zhenzhen and the other three were stunned. Xiao Mian was actually regarded by Bai Jintang as an opponent that must be faced!
"By the way! Has Xiao Xumi Mountain been opened?"
"No!"
Bai Jintang was stunned and silent when he heard this. The other three did not dare to speak casually. After a long time, Bai Jintang asked again.
"What about the claustrophobic space? After the Xiaoxumi Mountain was closed, did anyone accidentally enter the claustrophobic space because of the speed limit?"
"This..., the existence of the speed limit is well known. If it is not necessary, no cultivator is willing to enter the claustrophobic space and be trapped for a day and a night. I have never heard of anyone entering the claustrophobic space during this period..." Bai Zhenzhen had just said this when Bai Jintang said decisively: "Send someone to test and see if the claustrophobic space is open!"
"Yes!" After Bai Zhenzhen responded, she released a paper crane, which fluttered and drifted away from the window without a trace. But in a moment, the paper crane returned. Bai Zhenzhen opened the paper crane and looked at it, and her face changed slightly. Bai Jintang saw this, his brows furrowed, and heard Bai Zhenzhen whisper: "The disciples sent back news: Although the speed limit is still in place, the disciples who violated the speed limit were not teleported into the claustrophobic space, but appeared in a temporarily confined mine cave."
"The claustrophobic space is a spatial fault on the Xiaoxumi Mountain. Now that the Xiaoxumi Mountain is closed and the Tianlong Temple is closed, the claustrophobic space must have been closed as well. In this way, the kid may have been locked up in the claustrophobic space and can't get out!" In a few words, Bai Jintang sent Xiao Mian ’s experience, but heard Bai Yuanxin gloating and laughing: “If that’s true, that kid is unlucky! The confined space is dark and silent, day and night, and ordinary cultivators stay there for a day like being in prison. He stayed there for a month, and it’s unknown when he can get out. I’m afraid he’s crazy, right? Hahaha…”
Bai Yuanxin’s laughter rang out in the room. Bai Yuanxin naturally hated Xiao Mian, not only because Xiao Mian made the Bai family lose face, but also because Xiao Mian had injured Bai Yuanxin’s Shaoyin sword when he used the Five Spirits Dragon Technique.
But soon, Bai Yuanxin’s laughter stopped abruptly. Looking up, he saw Bai Jintang looking at him with a smile.
“Yuanxin, you are still inferior to Xiao Mian!” Bai Jintang stood up and came to the window regardless of Bai Yuanxin’s drastic change of expression. Looking at the clouds flying and changing in the sky, he sighed: “That kid, how can he be ordinary…”
