Confucian Sword Fairy
Chapter 84 Accident
Chapter 84 Accident
Following Chen Jingyun's voice, everyone's eyes were also on Song Zhishu.
The three of Lin Cheng are not scholars, so they can't feel the righteousness.
But after hearing that sentence, there was shock in his eyes.
The strength shown by Song Zhishu before was completely beyond their expectations, and now Chen Jingyun directly called the other party a scholar. How could this not surprise a few people, who did not expect Song Zhishu to hide so deeply.
Not only them, but Chen Jingyun was the most shocked, because he sensed the righteousness of Confucianism.
And more importantly, Song Zhishu's Confucian righteousness is very pure.
It is thicker and more peculiar than the ones raised by oneself.
Although Chen Jingyun didn't know what was going on, he could be sure that the person in front of him was on a higher level of Confucianism and Taoism.
And after a brief period of absent-mindedness, everyone couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Song Zhishu was in the early stage of foundation establishment, but his own strength was very strong. If he added the power of Confucianism, he might be able to escape this time.
Of course, Song Zhishu didn't know what they thought. At this moment, in his eyes, only the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey.
"The monsters below the Foundation Establishment Realm are too weak, so the Confucian righteousness gained after killing them is very little."
"In total, there are less than three ways, and the previous few in the early stage of foundation establishment are only eight ways. I just don't know how much Confucian righteousness this leader in front of me can give me."
Song Zhishu pondered in his heart and found that with the improvement of strength, the weaker the monster, the less Confucian righteousness it will get.
Only those who are almost equal to or even higher than their own cultivation level can get more Confucian righteousness.
Therefore, the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey in front of him must be killed.
In addition to Confucian righteousness.
The most important thing is to truly verify your own strength.
Roar.
The leader of the fire-pattern monkey seemed to have sensed Song Zhishu's gaze. The anger in his eyes grew even higher, and white mist appeared all over his body, dancing like flames, causing the surrounding trees to be ignited.
Comparable to the strength of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, coupled with the physique of a monster, and the powerful power, it would be a headache for monks of the same realm to meet.
But Song Zhishu was happy and unafraid, and the powerful mana kept surging around him, making him suspend in midair.
The sage's sword fetus, which is connected to his life, also buzzed, exuding biting sword intents.
call out!
Without any hesitation, Song Zhishu made a move.
He blessed the saint's sword embryo with mana and awe-inspiring righteousness, making the sword embryo speed up again, bursting out with dazzling light, and in just a moment, he approached the leader of the fire-patterned spirit monkey.
But the opponent would not just sit still, a white mist emerged from his mouth and nose, protecting his body, resisting the attack of the sword fetus.
At the same time, its huge body was about to fall straight down while waving the several-foot-long stone pillar.
Naturally, Song Zhishu would not choose to confront the tough, but simply dodged out of the way.
At the same time, he made a formula.
The sage's sword embryo was divided into three immediately, attacking from three different directions, and this time Song Zhishu mobilized more powerful mana, and more than 20 awe-inspiring righteousness also blessed it.
At this time, the stone pillar fell.
boom.
Under the powerful force, the ground cracked, revealing ravines, which were extremely destructive.
But this was of no use. Song Zhishu had already left, and the saint's sword embryo that had been divided into three made a buzzing sound, and one stabbed at the neck of the leader of the fire-striped spirit monkey, one at the heart and one at the wrist.
Each of these attacks is extremely powerful, exuding terrifying sword intent, and even the surrounding air is shaking.
Song Zhishu didn't know the weakness of this monster, so he could only attack more.
bang bang.
With two consecutive voices, the attacks on the heart and neck were not very useful, but they also directly pierced the defense of the leader of the fire pattern monkey.
The biggest effect was on the wrist, the monster's palm was cut off directly, and a lot of blood spurted out.
The leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey screamed in pain, unable to hold the stone pillar in his hand, and was thrown to the ground.
"Chance."
Regarding this, Song Zhishu's heart moved, knowing that the opportunity had come, he manipulated the unity of the saint's sword and fetus, and then activated the fourth formation, Zhou Tianyin God Formation, the breath of the saint's sword and fetus disappeared immediately, as if it had never appeared.
The leader of the fire-pattern monkey also reacted, only feeling that the surrounding area was full of dangers, but he didn't know how to resist it.
And the next moment.
puff!
When the saint's sword embryo reappeared, with a stream of light, like a divine golden blade, as fast as thunder, it went straight to the place where the palm of the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey was broken, and then pierced into his body.
Song Zhishu raised his right hand and poured mana and righteousness into it.
boom.
Half of the fire-patterned monkey's body collapsed directly, its bones were shattered, and the vitality in its body was constantly disappearing.
But Song Zhishu did not choose to stop, seized the last chance, once again manipulated the saint's sword embryo, strengthened the infusion of mana, and cut off the head of the monster in an instant, the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey couldn't resist it at all. He fell heavily on the ground, lifeless.
"ended."
Song Zhishu recalled the sage's sword fetus, and let out a sigh of relief.
The battle just now seemed simple, but in fact it was very dangerous. It was as strong as the monsters in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If it weren't for the saint sword embryo, it would be impossible for the ordinary low-grade spiritual weapon flying sword to achieve such a level.
Especially that monster's strength is so great, coupled with its own talent, it is impossible to get close at all.
Fortunately, he possesses righteousness in his body, he is the nemesis of monsters, and he is supported by strong mana. Finally, under the surprise of Zhou Tianyin God Formation, he completely broke the resistance of monsters, and finally killed them with one blow.
This process was planned by Song Zhishu in his mind, and he judged according to his own strength, so the war could be ended in a short time.
But even so, nearly half of the mana in his body was consumed, because every blow had to be strong enough.
Otherwise, no matter how changeable one's methods are, it is useless if one cannot break through the defense.
And at this moment, twenty Confucian righteousness emerged from the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey, pouring into Song Zhishu's body.
"Before that, there were more than 30 Confucian righteousness, that is, the three noble righteousness. The harvest is not bad."
Feeling the righteousness of Confucianism in his body, a smile appeared on Song Zhishu's face.
It’s been a while since I’ve replenished my righteousness, because I didn’t have time to kill monsters, I didn’t expect to come out once, and I got three ways, it’s more useful than just staying at home, the more righteousness, it also means that the follow-up practice will be more quick.
It seems that he will come out frequently to kill monsters in the future.
Song Zhishu nodded secretly, not only can there be many benefits from killing demons, but righteousness is just one of them.
The most important thing is to be able to constantly understand oneself through battles, and then strengthen experience. After all, in addition to Confucianism, one also has immortality, so one needs to strengthen one's strength.
"The leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey is dead?"
"It's dead, so there shouldn't be any danger in the future, right?"
"It won't happen anymore. Yuhua Mountain is the territory of the fire-pattern monkeys, and other monsters will not enter."
It was only at this time that Lin Cheng and the others came to their senses, and then they all looked at Song Zhishu. The shock in their eyes couldn't be concealed at all. Even monsters comparable to those in the late foundation establishment period could be killed, so how strong is the other party?Even the disciples of the aristocratic family's sect couldn't do it to such a degree, could it be that they were mistaken from the beginning?
Of course, the most thought in their minds is that it is good to have Song Zhishu's help in this mission, otherwise none of them would even think about going back.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Song Zhishu, and their eyes changed from shock to reverence.
"A few days ago, I was lucky enough to break into the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment."
Song Zhishu naturally knew what they were thinking, and then took out a few pills from the storage bag: "This is a top-grade healing pill, you take it first to repair the injury."
From the previous battle, except for Chen Jingyun, the other three had basically never used magic weapons, and there were very few talismans.
Obviously, apart from not being willing to use it, there is nothing.
Song Zhishu stayed in Qingzhou City for a while, and understood that this is casual cultivation. Without background and strength, one's own cultivation is the most important thing. As for other things, you can save as much as you can. ah.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Song." Lin Cheng and the others said quickly, and then added: "I will pay you back when we return to Qingzhou City."
They are very clear in their hearts that they will not be rewarded for nothing. In this case, it is best not to owe others anything.
Especially if the opponent is still a character with unfathomable strength, he should be treated with more care.
"I have healing pills on me, Mr. Song, don't need to worry."
When Chen Jingzhou opened his mouth, he changed the title of his former fellow Taoist and called him Mr. directly. The reason was very simple. He could see that Song Zhishu was higher than himself in the practice of Confucianism, so he naturally called him Mr. This is also a respect for scholars.
Especially between the words, there is also a little respect, and it is no longer as silent and flat as before.
And his words reminded several others that Song Zhishu was not only a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment, but also a scholar of Confucianism.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he never thought that he would meet such a person by an unintentional act.
"it is good."
Song Zhishu didn't say much, letting them heal with peace of mind.
On the other hand, he inspected the surrounding area, and after confirming that there were no traces of monsters, he was relieved.
However, it will take some time for several people to heal their wounds, so Song Zhishu also sat down cross-legged, meditated to adjust his breath, and recovered his mana. At the same time, he recalled all the battles today, trying to find out the shortcomings.
Although his own strength basically crushed all the fire-pattern monkeys except for the leader monster.
But Song Zhishu is also thinking about how to solve the battle more simply and faster.
in this way.
A group of people sat cross-legged in this safe area.
Until the next morning, when the sun rises.
The injuries of Lin Cheng and the others were all recovered by relying on the high-grade healing pills presented by Song Zhishu, and they were all in good spirits.
They started to clean the battlefield, picked the purple-leaf flat peaches, and at the same time collected the corpses of the fire-pattern monkeys that had been killed, because there were many materials on them that could be used by monks and sold to the Wanshi Pavilion.
There is nothing in the Qi training state, but there is a foundation building state, and there is also the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey, which is very valuable.
For casual cultivators, it is definitely a lot of money.
It certainly did.
The greater the risk, the greater the corresponding reward.
However, Chen Jingyun, who was the most injured, would need a few days to fully recover. After all, his ribs were broken. Unless he took a better pill, of course, a broken rib was nothing to a monk and would not affect the battle.
He also did not participate in cleaning the battlefield, but looked at Song Zhishu from time to time with curiosity in his eyes.
"Song Zhishu, who also practiced Confucianism and Taoism, is a scholar who has entered the country"
Chen Jingyun said to himself, and began to guess Song Zhishu's identity in his heart, but quickly shook his head: "Maybe I thought too much, it should be just a coincidence."
Song Zhishu didn't know what the other party was thinking. While Lin Cheng and others were cleaning up, he was not idle, observing the Yuhua Mountain, standing on the cliff, overlooking the peaks.
The mountains towering in the distance, surrounded by clouds and mist, are lush and green, and the scenery looks very good, which makes people feel refreshed.
"It's no wonder that scholars want to break thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. They don't just walk, but appreciate the style of the road and gain more knowledge. Just like this Qingyun Mountain Range, although it is not as good as the Taihao Sword Sect, But it’s not a sight to behold.”
Song Zhishu said to himself, because standing on the cliff overlooking the mountains, he couldn't help feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
Such a mood cannot be obtained by being bored at home and studying.
This is from the heart after my own experience and the changes in the surrounding environment.
Although it is not much, over time, there will be a qualitative change at a certain moment.
Just like the current Song Zhishu, after two days of going deep into the Qingyun Mountains and experiencing a great battle, he can only feel that the Confucian righteousness in his body is surging, and his knowledge of the holy realm has also increased. Maybe it won't be long before he will be able to improve.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, we have picked all the purple leaf flat peaches, a total of 32, as well as the fur and bones of the fire-pattern monkeys. I don't count the rewards for completing the task. I preliminarily estimate that Harvest at least 15 spirit stones at a time."
Lin Cheng walked over with Li Xiansong, both of them had smiles on their faces.
Obviously, the harvest this time has exceeded expectations.
15 spirit stones, even if five people share them equally, each person will get at least [-] spirit stones. They are all casual cultivators, and such income has never been encountered once in several years. One can imagine how happy they are.
Even Chen Jingyun couldn't help showing a look of excitement after hearing it. He agreed to join Lin Cheng's team, wasn't he just to earn more spirit stones and prepare for the breakthrough to build a foundation?The harvest this time, plus my previous accumulation, will definitely have a chance to succeed in foundation building after going back to retreat.
Song Zhishu was also a little surprised, because at least [-] spirit stones had been credited to the account in just three days after leaving Qingzhou City.
Basically, it was the same as his income from engraving spirit stones in the inn, and he also had the Confucian righteousness of killing monsters.
This time it was chosen, and it was indeed right.
"Okay, let's get out of here when we're almost done packing."
Song Zhishu nodded. Now that the task has been completed, there is no point in staying any longer. He would not go back and exchange the spirit stones for resources, so that Jingzao could break into the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage one step at a time.
"Yes, Mr. Song, we listen to you."
"Brother Wang is already exploring the way and will be back soon, please wait a little longer."
Lin Cheng spoke immediately, without any objection, and there was still respect in his words.
After all, Song Daoyou in front of him is not only powerful, but also a scholar of Confucianism. Although he doesn't know the specific identity, he can be sure that his background is definitely bigger than imagined. If he can really make friends with him, he will benefit in the future.
However, in the hearts of Lin Cheng and Li Xiansong, it is actually a pity. Strong strength also means that the two parties do not belong to the same level. What they think is a good income may not be a big deal in Song Daoyou's opinion.
This time it was because of an unexpected achievement, and Daoyou Song had made great efforts to protect everyone with his own strength, and they were all lagging behind.
When accepting the task after that, will the other party still agree to be together?Do you think this team is too weak?
After all, the two sides are still not familiar with each other, and it is not bad to have such an opportunity.
Song Zhishu just nodded when he heard the words, but didn't speak.
This is what strength brings.
The first time they met, although they met by chance, they were equals, there was no one who was superior or inferior. For example, Lin Cheng was experienced and old, so he became the leader of the team. Even scholars like Chen Jingyun chose to obey.
But now?
After showing his strength.
Everyone changed their attitudes, and Lin Cheng came here to ask for advice on almost everything, for fear of offending himself.
Song Zhishu was helpless about this, but he couldn't change it, because people are like this, they have a strong mentality, and they don't dare to offend at will. On the contrary, they will obey what the strong say, even if they think there are problems with what the strong say, they will still resolutely implement it.
In other words, whoever is stronger is right.
Just like in Taihao Sword Sect back then.
Why did everything subside after Master Taihao came out to speak?
Not only because he directly admitted his mistakes, but more importantly, he was the strongest present, saying what he said, and neither the Confucianists nor the Emperor of Zhou were afraid.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, Brother Lin."
At this time, Wang Chong came from afar, and after walking in, he first bowed slightly to Song Zhishu, and then continued: "I found a strange place at the source of the river, but when I wanted to continue to investigate, I found that Can't get close, don't know what it is."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and finally Lin Cheng said, "Mr. Song, do you want to go and see?"
Everyone's eyes also fell on Song Zhishu, waiting for his decision.
In fact, Lin Cheng and others wanted to go.
The weirder the place, the more likely chances will appear.
Moreover, Wang Chong was able to return safely from that place, which meant that there was definitely no great danger.
"If it's not far away, let's go and have a look." Song Zhishu thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He also knew what the people present were thinking, so he followed their wishes.
"Okay, brother Wang, you lead the way." Lin Cheng said.
Soon, a group of five packed up and put all useful things into storage bags before setting off.
The source of the river is not far away, only less than ten miles away. This distance is nothing to everyone, so they will arrive soon.
"Look, it's right there." Wang Chong pointed to a piece of wasteland ahead and said.
Everyone also cast their eyes.
I saw a black stone tablet not far in front. The stone tablet is not big, about three feet in size, but what is eye-catching is that around the stone tablet, there are wisps of black mist lingering. These mist emerge from it, but there is no Spread out, only floating in the surrounding area.
More importantly, there are almost no plants around the stele, and the bare one looks a bit abrupt.
However, because the stele is not big, if the distance is a little farther, it will not be obvious that this place is special.
"This breath makes me feel a little disgusted."
Chen Jingyun next to him opened his mouth, his brows were slightly frowned, and before he approached, a sense of resistance emerged spontaneously, as if he didn't like the smell and wanted to stay away.
Song Zhishu actually felt it too, and found that the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body was shaking, a little out of control.
But I am not sure whether it is affected by the stone tablet or the black mist.
Then he turned his head and observed the expressions of Lin Cheng and the others. They were still the same as before, and there was nothing unusual. It seemed that this feeling could only be reflected in himself and Chen Jingyun.
"Is it because Chen Jingyun and I are both scholars?"
Song Zhishu said to himself, and finally confirmed this possibility, otherwise Haoran Zhengqi would not react easily, and then he said again: "Be careful to approach slowly, if you find anything wrong, stay away immediately."
Haoran's righteousness responded, obviously the stele was not simple, and Song Zhishu also wanted to know what it was.
After everyone heard it, they nodded immediately, and then slowly approached.
Song Zhishu also used his soul to investigate the stele, but in the end he found that the soul could not penetrate the black mist, let alone observe the stele directly, so in the end he had no choice but to give up and observe with the naked eye.
And as the people present approached, the black stele was fully displayed. The whole body was dark and bright, like a black mirror, which could reflect people's shadows. As for the black mist, it didn't seem to pose any threat.
"The thing looked normal, but the closer I got, the more uncomfortable it became."
Chen Jingyun frowned, and stopped at the same time, unwilling to go any further, then he looked at Zhishu Song and asked, "Mr. Song, how do you feel?"
"Same as Mr. Chen, a little uncomfortable."
Song Zhishu answered truthfully, because the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body also vibrated more strongly.
If he hadn't chosen to suppress it, he would have rushed out of his body directly, and the awe-inspiring righteousness was aimed at that black mist.
"What the hell is this?" Song Zhishu used his eyesight to observe the stele, and found that there seemed to be runes engraved on the front, but he had never seen these runes before, and the material of the stele was also unknown in his memory. Not the slightest impression.
How could such a thing appear in the Qingyun Mountains?
What is that black mist?
Why did it cause the awe-inspiring righteousness in my body to fight against it?
A series of questions came to Song Zhishu's mind, but he couldn't figure it out at all, after all, he knew too little information.
"This stele seems to be a kind of array stone, and the runes on the stele seem to be somewhat similar to the array patterns engraved on the array stone." Suddenly, Li Xiansong, the only array mage among the crowd, spoke. Finally, he expressed his guess.
"Brother Li, what do you mean to say that this stone tablet cannot be made with a formation?" Wang Chong asked, and couldn't help but open his mouth: "But we also saw it when you set up the formation. How can there be such a big formation stone?"
The rest of the people also looked puzzled, because none of them had learned the art of formation, so they didn't know much about it.
Song Zhishu didn't speak, just waiting for the other party's response.
"The larger the formation stone, the stronger the formation to be arranged. Although this is the first time I have seen such a large formation stone, I can be sure that this may be a corner of a certain formation, and it is nothing Ordinary requisition." Li Xiansong said, he is a formation master, and he has studied formations for many years, and no one present can match them.
"Then can you see what kind of formation this is?"
Song Zhishu said, since the other party is sure, there should be nothing wrong, and he is even more curious about what kind of formation the stele will be arranged, and the reason for the awe-inspiring righteousness in the body.
"This"
Li Xiansong was a little obsessed, then shook his head: "Mr. Song, this formation is a bit esoteric, so I can't see it yet, but after I record the runes inside, I can go back and look up the relevant information, but there is no guarantee that I will find it." , Of course, this stele should not be in any danger now, because it is only a kick of the formation and has not been activated, so we can rest assured."
I am only a top-rank formation mage, and I am considered good among people of the same cultivation level, but I have never seen this one in front of me.
If you want to know, you have to go back and look up the information, but there are more than thousands of formations in the world?
Li Xiansong cannot say that he can find out.
"Okay." Song Zhishu nodded, looking at the black stone tablet in front of him, lost in thought.
"Since there is nothing to see, Mr. Song, in my opinion, let's leave first, or we will delay until it gets dark." Chen Jingyun spoke, standing not far away and not approaching, because the stele emitted The breath really makes me uncomfortable.
Of course, he didn't turn around and leave directly, but asked Song Zhishu's opinion first.
"Well, Mr. Chen is right, let's go back to Qingzhou City first."
Song Zhishu saw that Li Xiansong had recorded the shape and information of the stele, and immediately nodded in agreement. They went out for a few days and experienced a big battle yesterday, and it would take time to go back, so they really couldn't stay in the Qingyun Mountains for long.
Another point is that all the fire-pattern monkeys in this adventure have been beheaded, and maybe other monsters will come here soon.
The Qingyun Mountain Range is huge, and there are many powerful monsters. The task has been completed, and there is no need to delay it.
"Okay, listen to Mr. Song, everyone, get ready and go as fast as possible."
Lin Cheng also spoke, and stopped observing the stele.
Now there is only one thought in his mind, that is to return to Qingzhou City to complete the task, and then replace it with Lingshi, because the harvest this time is greater than ever before, Lin Cheng is naturally looking forward to it.
Li Xiansong and Wang Chong were also similar, without any hesitation, they directly summoned Feijian.
Yuhua Mountain is a lonely peak, and you must fly with the sword to leave.
in this way.
A group of five people went down Yuhua Mountain.
Of course, Lin Cheng and the others didn't get carried away by the big harvest, and chose to walk directly after descending the mountain.
The purpose is not to run into monsters. Although it is a waste of time, it is better to be safe.
after one day.
Outside Qingzhou City.
Five figures came down with the sword and landed at the gate of the city. They were Song Zhishu and his party.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, the task has been completed, you can go to the Wanshi Pavilion at any time, do you want to come with us?" Lin Chengluo slightly cupped his hands towards Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun after he got down.
"No need, I'll wait for you at Yunlingzhai." Song Zhishu shook his head. He knew that Lin Cheng meant to ask himself to see if there was any problem, so that he could distribute them openly and transparently.
But after this time, Song Zhishu still believed in the character of these people, knowing that the other party would not do such a thing.
And although Qingzhou City is huge, even if they want to leave privately, they can be found in a short time.
What's more, this is also the task of the Wanshi Pavilion, and the Wanshi Pavilion also has the power to control.
Anyone who is not stupid will not mess around.
"I'm not going either."
"There are still some things to deal with in the academy, come to me after the fellow daoists are done."
Chen Jingyun also spoke, saying that he would not go to Wanshi Pavilion together, and at the same time turned his head to look at Song Zhishu and cupped his hands slightly: "If Mr. Song is free in the future, you can also go to Qingzhou Academy for a gathering. I have some questions about Confucianism. Ask Mr. Song for some advice."
He said this because he wanted to distance himself from Song Zhishu. There were many people in Qingzhou City who wanted to study, but only a few actually entered the country.
Chen Jingyun has already confirmed that the person in front of him is higher than himself in terms of Confucianism and Taoism, so it must be no problem to ask for advice.
"must."
Song Zhishu nodded in return.
Not to mention anything else, Chen Jingyun was able to put his own safety aside to protect Lin Cheng and the others at a critical moment. This kind of action is worthy of admiration, because ordinary people simply cannot do it.
"Then it's settled."
Seeing that Song Zhishu agreed, Chen Jingyun also showed joy, obviously very happy.
Afterwards, the five of them stopped talking and said goodbye one after another. After entering the city, they headed in different directions.
And Song Zhishu was still thinking about the black stone tablet on the way back.
Haoran's righteousness does not move easily, but as long as there is a change, it proves that there is definitely a problem. When he killed the monster, this did not happen, but it was because of a stone tablet.
"Is it a formation? But what does this formation represent?"
Song Zhishu thought about it, but he didn't have a clue, so he finally had to give up: "Forget it, wait until Li Xiansong finishes checking the information."
He doesn't know the formation, so it's definitely useless to think wildly, but he feels that no matter what the final result is, he must pay attention to the stone tablet in Yuhuafeng, because he always feels that it is not easy.
soon.
Song Zhishu came to Yunlingzhai, opened another room, and went upstairs to rest.
After returning to the room, he directly sat up cross-legged, began to adjust his breath, and then recalled the experience outside the past few days, thought carefully, thoroughly understood, and made up for his own shortcomings.
At the same time, in this process, Song Zhishu also transformed the more than 30 newly obtained Confucian righteousness in his body into awe-inspiring righteousness.
Time passed, two hours later.
Song Zhishu opened his eyes and smiled after feeling the mana in his body.
"Sure enough, I still need to practice. Although it took less than five days to go out, my cultivation base has improved a little. This effect is better than just taking pills at home."
Since his practice, Song Zhishu has basically devoted himself to hard work, and has hardly fought against monsters.
But after this time, he also understands that a real monk not only has a high realm, but also needs to go through all kinds of training, just like Lin Cheng and other casual cultivators, who really have no strength and no background, and they are not even willing to give up talisman pills However, in the process of fighting monsters and beasts, he used fierce moves, and he was not procrastinating, often able to kill existences stronger than himself.
Because casual cultivators can't rely on anyone, they can only rely on themselves, and if this kind of casual cultivators fight alone with sect disciples without any external force, their winning rate will often be very high.
This is the case for Song Zhishu, who needs to enrich himself with enough experience, and for him, it is also a kind of knowledge and action.
Without much thought, Song Zhishu got up, took out the pen and paper, and began to silently write Zhongyong.
This is something he has to do every day, and it has become a habit.
Unless there is no time outside like this time.
"Mr. Song?"
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and it was Lin Cheng's voice.
Song Zhishu looked at the time, and almost three hours had passed. It stands to reason that it shouldn't take so long to go to the Wanshi Pavilion to complete the task, but he didn't say anything, and opened the door directly.
"Mr. Song."
Lin Cheng cupped his hands slightly: "We went to Mr. Chen's first, so we came a little late."
He explained the reason directly, for fear of being misunderstood by Song Zhishu.
"It's okay."
Song Zhishu smiled and didn't mind, then invited the three of them into the room and poured a cup of spiritual tea for each of them.
"Mr. Song, you are too polite." Lin Cheng and the others were flattered. After the trip to the Qingyun Mountains, they no longer dared to treat Song Zhishu as the same, and they all got up to thank him.
However, this also made several people feel that Song Zhishu in front of him was completely different from ordinary disciples of aristocratic families.
"Mr. Song, the reward for our mission this time is 23 spirit stones, plus the extra purple leaf flat peaches, a total of [-] spirit stones after the sale, and the materials on those monsters, there are [-] spirit stones. So there are a total of [-] spirit stones, and this is the list given by Wanshi Pavilion, Mr. Song, please have a look." Lin Cheng didn't dare to delay, and directly reported the gains of this trip one by one.
Song Zhishu took the list, confirmed it was correct, and returned it.
In fact, he was also surprised by the harvest this time. More than 20 spirit stones are a huge sum of money.
But thinking about the monsters killed this time, it's actually nothing, after all, there is a late foundation establishment among them.
"Mr. Song, before we left the city, we agreed that all the rewards would be shared equally. It's just that the situation is different now. You contributed the most this time, and you also killed a monster in the late stage of foundation establishment. It can be said that you have made great contributions. All Mr. Chen and I After discussing it, the four of us will each get [-] spirit stones, and you will take the bulk, which is [-] spirit stones."
Speaking of this, Lin Cheng paused, and said respectfully: "Look, how about this distribution?"
The average distribution should also be under the condition that everyone contributes about the same.
Everyone knew what happened in Yuhua Mountain. If Song Zhishu didn't take action, maybe they would all be buried in the barren hills and become the food of monsters. Lin Cheng knew clearly, so he gave the big head to Song Zhishu directly.
And this has also been agreed by everyone including Chen Jingyun, and Song Zhishu deserves so much.
"Then I'll be disrespectful."
Song Zhishu was not entangled, and chose to accept it directly, because he knew in his heart that if he refused, Lin Cheng and others would definitely persuade him again and again, not to mention that, as the other party said, it was indeed him who contributed the most this time, and it was reasonable to take the lead .
"well."
Seeing that Song Zhishu had no objection to this, Lin Cheng smiled immediately.
At the same time, he took out a storage bag, which contained [-] spirit stones.
Song Zhishu poked out his primordial spirit, nodded, with a gentle expression on his face: "Friend Daoist Lin, if there is another chance like this next time, don't forget it."
Even for myself, this is quite a good harvest, and with the accumulation of experience, I naturally hope for a next time.
"This Mr. Song is willing to go out with us to do missions?"
However, this sentence made Lin Cheng and the others look shocked. They felt that this might be the only chance to cooperate with Song Zhishu, because the strength gap between the two parties was too great.
Instead of forming a team with people like myself, it is better to find stronger teammates, and the rewards will definitely be greater.
But a few people didn't expect that they still had the opportunity to cooperate with Song Zhishu, and they even brought it up.
"Why, don't you guys want to?" Song Zhishu smiled.
"Yes, of course."
Lin Cheng spoke directly without hesitation: "It is a blessing for the few of us to have Mr. Song join us."
Wang Chong, Li Xiansong and the others were also very happy. They felt that the biggest gain from going out this time was not the spirit stones, but being able to make friends like Song Zhishu. Just imagine if there are such powerful people in the future, when they accept the mission in the future , Is it possible to choose a more difficult one?
This is not comparable to the [-] spirit stones in hand, especially if the cooperation goes smoothly in the future, the relationship between them will get better and better, and they will get more benefits, and more importantly, Song Zhishu is not only strong in cultivation, but also a Confucian scholar who has entered the country, so Lin Cheng directly said that forming a team with Song Zhishu was a blessing.
"Friend Lin Daoist was joking, how can there be any blessing or fate?"
Song Zhishu gave up slightly, and then said again: "In the future, don't call the word Mr., and call it Daoyou as before."
It's not that Song Zhishu is modest, but that he thinks that he can't afford the word "Mr." with his entry level.
And choosing to continue to cooperate with Lin Cheng and others is because of their personalities.
I may have to stay in Qingzhou City for a while, and it is convenient to have a few companions who can go out to kill monsters together.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Song."
After hearing the words, several people nodded one after another. They felt that Song Zhishu was gentle and humble, and he really deserved to be a disciple from the aristocratic family. However, they didn't inquire about Song Zhishu's origin, and felt that this was too abrupt.
Immediately, the four of them chatted a few more words, before preparing to choose to leave after an hour.
Song Zhishu also got up, but soon he thought of the stele in Yuhua Mountain today, and immediately looked at Li Xiansong and said: "I am very interested in the history of that stele, if you have time, Li Daoyou, can you help me find out more? "
"Naturally, fellow Daoist Song, don't worry, there will be news within two days at most."
Hearing this, Li Xiansong also thought of the stele, and immediately bowed and nodded.
Soon, the three left.
At this time, Song Zhishu was the only person left in the room. Looking at the [-] spirit stones harvested this time, he planned to go to the Wanshi Pavilion again in two days to buy more Lingyuan Pills, so as to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible.
For some reason, he always felt that something big might happen, especially the trip to Yuhua Mountain, which aggravated Song Zhishu's premonition.
at the same time.
Lin Cheng, who had just left Song Zhishu's room, also turned his head and said to Li Xiansong: "Brother Li, you must do what Song Daoyou told you as soon as possible. No matter if there is any result, you must explain to Song Daoyou."
This was the first time Song Zhishu asked them to do something. Lin Cheng wanted to use this opportunity to continue to draw the relationship between them closer.
"Brother Lin, don't worry, I won't practice for the next two days, and I will definitely give Song Daoyou an answer."
Li Xiansong also knew the importance, so he went to do it immediately after speaking.
He also deliberately went to a few friends who practiced formations to inquire, and asked for a collection of books, which were all about the introduction of various formations, but there was a lot of content, and Li Xiansong didn't know where to find them for a while.
And for the next time, he almost stayed in the house, looking for all related things, and comparing them carefully.
In this way, two consecutive days passed.
In the early morning of this day, Lin Cheng and Wang Chong had just returned from buying pills and talismans outside, but they saw Li Xiansong still sitting in the room, surrounded by all the books about various formations.
"Brother Li, you haven't found it yet, have you?" Seeing this, Wang Chong couldn't help asking. He had been looking for it for a few days.
"Could it be that you are wrong, that stone tablet is not a formation at all?"
Lin Cheng came over and picked up the basic book, but he couldn't understand it, so he continued: "If you can't find it, forget it, explain to Daoyou Song, and Daoyou Song will definitely not mind."
"It's coming soon."
Li Xiansong opened his mouth without raising his head. He just held a book and compared the runes he wrote down on the stone tablet. Not bad."
But soon, when Li Xiansong saw the more detailed records in the book, his face changed drastically: "No, something might happen!"
(End of this chapter)
Following Chen Jingyun's voice, everyone's eyes were also on Song Zhishu.
The three of Lin Cheng are not scholars, so they can't feel the righteousness.
But after hearing that sentence, there was shock in his eyes.
The strength shown by Song Zhishu before was completely beyond their expectations, and now Chen Jingyun directly called the other party a scholar. How could this not surprise a few people, who did not expect Song Zhishu to hide so deeply.
Not only them, but Chen Jingyun was the most shocked, because he sensed the righteousness of Confucianism.
And more importantly, Song Zhishu's Confucian righteousness is very pure.
It is thicker and more peculiar than the ones raised by oneself.
Although Chen Jingyun didn't know what was going on, he could be sure that the person in front of him was on a higher level of Confucianism and Taoism.
And after a brief period of absent-mindedness, everyone couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Song Zhishu was in the early stage of foundation establishment, but his own strength was very strong. If he added the power of Confucianism, he might be able to escape this time.
Of course, Song Zhishu didn't know what they thought. At this moment, in his eyes, only the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey.
"The monsters below the Foundation Establishment Realm are too weak, so the Confucian righteousness gained after killing them is very little."
"In total, there are less than three ways, and the previous few in the early stage of foundation establishment are only eight ways. I just don't know how much Confucian righteousness this leader in front of me can give me."
Song Zhishu pondered in his heart and found that with the improvement of strength, the weaker the monster, the less Confucian righteousness it will get.
Only those who are almost equal to or even higher than their own cultivation level can get more Confucian righteousness.
Therefore, the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey in front of him must be killed.
In addition to Confucian righteousness.
The most important thing is to truly verify your own strength.
Roar.
The leader of the fire-pattern monkey seemed to have sensed Song Zhishu's gaze. The anger in his eyes grew even higher, and white mist appeared all over his body, dancing like flames, causing the surrounding trees to be ignited.
Comparable to the strength of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, coupled with the physique of a monster, and the powerful power, it would be a headache for monks of the same realm to meet.
But Song Zhishu was happy and unafraid, and the powerful mana kept surging around him, making him suspend in midair.
The sage's sword fetus, which is connected to his life, also buzzed, exuding biting sword intents.
call out!
Without any hesitation, Song Zhishu made a move.
He blessed the saint's sword embryo with mana and awe-inspiring righteousness, making the sword embryo speed up again, bursting out with dazzling light, and in just a moment, he approached the leader of the fire-patterned spirit monkey.
But the opponent would not just sit still, a white mist emerged from his mouth and nose, protecting his body, resisting the attack of the sword fetus.
At the same time, its huge body was about to fall straight down while waving the several-foot-long stone pillar.
Naturally, Song Zhishu would not choose to confront the tough, but simply dodged out of the way.
At the same time, he made a formula.
The sage's sword embryo was divided into three immediately, attacking from three different directions, and this time Song Zhishu mobilized more powerful mana, and more than 20 awe-inspiring righteousness also blessed it.
At this time, the stone pillar fell.
boom.
Under the powerful force, the ground cracked, revealing ravines, which were extremely destructive.
But this was of no use. Song Zhishu had already left, and the saint's sword embryo that had been divided into three made a buzzing sound, and one stabbed at the neck of the leader of the fire-striped spirit monkey, one at the heart and one at the wrist.
Each of these attacks is extremely powerful, exuding terrifying sword intent, and even the surrounding air is shaking.
Song Zhishu didn't know the weakness of this monster, so he could only attack more.
bang bang.
With two consecutive voices, the attacks on the heart and neck were not very useful, but they also directly pierced the defense of the leader of the fire pattern monkey.
The biggest effect was on the wrist, the monster's palm was cut off directly, and a lot of blood spurted out.
The leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey screamed in pain, unable to hold the stone pillar in his hand, and was thrown to the ground.
"Chance."
Regarding this, Song Zhishu's heart moved, knowing that the opportunity had come, he manipulated the unity of the saint's sword and fetus, and then activated the fourth formation, Zhou Tianyin God Formation, the breath of the saint's sword and fetus disappeared immediately, as if it had never appeared.
The leader of the fire-pattern monkey also reacted, only feeling that the surrounding area was full of dangers, but he didn't know how to resist it.
And the next moment.
puff!
When the saint's sword embryo reappeared, with a stream of light, like a divine golden blade, as fast as thunder, it went straight to the place where the palm of the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey was broken, and then pierced into his body.
Song Zhishu raised his right hand and poured mana and righteousness into it.
boom.
Half of the fire-patterned monkey's body collapsed directly, its bones were shattered, and the vitality in its body was constantly disappearing.
But Song Zhishu did not choose to stop, seized the last chance, once again manipulated the saint's sword embryo, strengthened the infusion of mana, and cut off the head of the monster in an instant, the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey couldn't resist it at all. He fell heavily on the ground, lifeless.
"ended."
Song Zhishu recalled the sage's sword fetus, and let out a sigh of relief.
The battle just now seemed simple, but in fact it was very dangerous. It was as strong as the monsters in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If it weren't for the saint sword embryo, it would be impossible for the ordinary low-grade spiritual weapon flying sword to achieve such a level.
Especially that monster's strength is so great, coupled with its own talent, it is impossible to get close at all.
Fortunately, he possesses righteousness in his body, he is the nemesis of monsters, and he is supported by strong mana. Finally, under the surprise of Zhou Tianyin God Formation, he completely broke the resistance of monsters, and finally killed them with one blow.
This process was planned by Song Zhishu in his mind, and he judged according to his own strength, so the war could be ended in a short time.
But even so, nearly half of the mana in his body was consumed, because every blow had to be strong enough.
Otherwise, no matter how changeable one's methods are, it is useless if one cannot break through the defense.
And at this moment, twenty Confucian righteousness emerged from the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey, pouring into Song Zhishu's body.
"Before that, there were more than 30 Confucian righteousness, that is, the three noble righteousness. The harvest is not bad."
Feeling the righteousness of Confucianism in his body, a smile appeared on Song Zhishu's face.
It’s been a while since I’ve replenished my righteousness, because I didn’t have time to kill monsters, I didn’t expect to come out once, and I got three ways, it’s more useful than just staying at home, the more righteousness, it also means that the follow-up practice will be more quick.
It seems that he will come out frequently to kill monsters in the future.
Song Zhishu nodded secretly, not only can there be many benefits from killing demons, but righteousness is just one of them.
The most important thing is to be able to constantly understand oneself through battles, and then strengthen experience. After all, in addition to Confucianism, one also has immortality, so one needs to strengthen one's strength.
"The leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey is dead?"
"It's dead, so there shouldn't be any danger in the future, right?"
"It won't happen anymore. Yuhua Mountain is the territory of the fire-pattern monkeys, and other monsters will not enter."
It was only at this time that Lin Cheng and the others came to their senses, and then they all looked at Song Zhishu. The shock in their eyes couldn't be concealed at all. Even monsters comparable to those in the late foundation establishment period could be killed, so how strong is the other party?Even the disciples of the aristocratic family's sect couldn't do it to such a degree, could it be that they were mistaken from the beginning?
Of course, the most thought in their minds is that it is good to have Song Zhishu's help in this mission, otherwise none of them would even think about going back.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Song Zhishu, and their eyes changed from shock to reverence.
"A few days ago, I was lucky enough to break into the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment."
Song Zhishu naturally knew what they were thinking, and then took out a few pills from the storage bag: "This is a top-grade healing pill, you take it first to repair the injury."
From the previous battle, except for Chen Jingyun, the other three had basically never used magic weapons, and there were very few talismans.
Obviously, apart from not being willing to use it, there is nothing.
Song Zhishu stayed in Qingzhou City for a while, and understood that this is casual cultivation. Without background and strength, one's own cultivation is the most important thing. As for other things, you can save as much as you can. ah.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Song." Lin Cheng and the others said quickly, and then added: "I will pay you back when we return to Qingzhou City."
They are very clear in their hearts that they will not be rewarded for nothing. In this case, it is best not to owe others anything.
Especially if the opponent is still a character with unfathomable strength, he should be treated with more care.
"I have healing pills on me, Mr. Song, don't need to worry."
When Chen Jingzhou opened his mouth, he changed the title of his former fellow Taoist and called him Mr. directly. The reason was very simple. He could see that Song Zhishu was higher than himself in the practice of Confucianism, so he naturally called him Mr. This is also a respect for scholars.
Especially between the words, there is also a little respect, and it is no longer as silent and flat as before.
And his words reminded several others that Song Zhishu was not only a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment, but also a scholar of Confucianism.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he never thought that he would meet such a person by an unintentional act.
"it is good."
Song Zhishu didn't say much, letting them heal with peace of mind.
On the other hand, he inspected the surrounding area, and after confirming that there were no traces of monsters, he was relieved.
However, it will take some time for several people to heal their wounds, so Song Zhishu also sat down cross-legged, meditated to adjust his breath, and recovered his mana. At the same time, he recalled all the battles today, trying to find out the shortcomings.
Although his own strength basically crushed all the fire-pattern monkeys except for the leader monster.
But Song Zhishu is also thinking about how to solve the battle more simply and faster.
in this way.
A group of people sat cross-legged in this safe area.
Until the next morning, when the sun rises.
The injuries of Lin Cheng and the others were all recovered by relying on the high-grade healing pills presented by Song Zhishu, and they were all in good spirits.
They started to clean the battlefield, picked the purple-leaf flat peaches, and at the same time collected the corpses of the fire-pattern monkeys that had been killed, because there were many materials on them that could be used by monks and sold to the Wanshi Pavilion.
There is nothing in the Qi training state, but there is a foundation building state, and there is also the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey, which is very valuable.
For casual cultivators, it is definitely a lot of money.
It certainly did.
The greater the risk, the greater the corresponding reward.
However, Chen Jingyun, who was the most injured, would need a few days to fully recover. After all, his ribs were broken. Unless he took a better pill, of course, a broken rib was nothing to a monk and would not affect the battle.
He also did not participate in cleaning the battlefield, but looked at Song Zhishu from time to time with curiosity in his eyes.
"Song Zhishu, who also practiced Confucianism and Taoism, is a scholar who has entered the country"
Chen Jingyun said to himself, and began to guess Song Zhishu's identity in his heart, but quickly shook his head: "Maybe I thought too much, it should be just a coincidence."
Song Zhishu didn't know what the other party was thinking. While Lin Cheng and others were cleaning up, he was not idle, observing the Yuhua Mountain, standing on the cliff, overlooking the peaks.
The mountains towering in the distance, surrounded by clouds and mist, are lush and green, and the scenery looks very good, which makes people feel refreshed.
"It's no wonder that scholars want to break thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. They don't just walk, but appreciate the style of the road and gain more knowledge. Just like this Qingyun Mountain Range, although it is not as good as the Taihao Sword Sect, But it’s not a sight to behold.”
Song Zhishu said to himself, because standing on the cliff overlooking the mountains, he couldn't help feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
Such a mood cannot be obtained by being bored at home and studying.
This is from the heart after my own experience and the changes in the surrounding environment.
Although it is not much, over time, there will be a qualitative change at a certain moment.
Just like the current Song Zhishu, after two days of going deep into the Qingyun Mountains and experiencing a great battle, he can only feel that the Confucian righteousness in his body is surging, and his knowledge of the holy realm has also increased. Maybe it won't be long before he will be able to improve.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, we have picked all the purple leaf flat peaches, a total of 32, as well as the fur and bones of the fire-pattern monkeys. I don't count the rewards for completing the task. I preliminarily estimate that Harvest at least 15 spirit stones at a time."
Lin Cheng walked over with Li Xiansong, both of them had smiles on their faces.
Obviously, the harvest this time has exceeded expectations.
15 spirit stones, even if five people share them equally, each person will get at least [-] spirit stones. They are all casual cultivators, and such income has never been encountered once in several years. One can imagine how happy they are.
Even Chen Jingyun couldn't help showing a look of excitement after hearing it. He agreed to join Lin Cheng's team, wasn't he just to earn more spirit stones and prepare for the breakthrough to build a foundation?The harvest this time, plus my previous accumulation, will definitely have a chance to succeed in foundation building after going back to retreat.
Song Zhishu was also a little surprised, because at least [-] spirit stones had been credited to the account in just three days after leaving Qingzhou City.
Basically, it was the same as his income from engraving spirit stones in the inn, and he also had the Confucian righteousness of killing monsters.
This time it was chosen, and it was indeed right.
"Okay, let's get out of here when we're almost done packing."
Song Zhishu nodded. Now that the task has been completed, there is no point in staying any longer. He would not go back and exchange the spirit stones for resources, so that Jingzao could break into the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage one step at a time.
"Yes, Mr. Song, we listen to you."
"Brother Wang is already exploring the way and will be back soon, please wait a little longer."
Lin Cheng spoke immediately, without any objection, and there was still respect in his words.
After all, Song Daoyou in front of him is not only powerful, but also a scholar of Confucianism. Although he doesn't know the specific identity, he can be sure that his background is definitely bigger than imagined. If he can really make friends with him, he will benefit in the future.
However, in the hearts of Lin Cheng and Li Xiansong, it is actually a pity. Strong strength also means that the two parties do not belong to the same level. What they think is a good income may not be a big deal in Song Daoyou's opinion.
This time it was because of an unexpected achievement, and Daoyou Song had made great efforts to protect everyone with his own strength, and they were all lagging behind.
When accepting the task after that, will the other party still agree to be together?Do you think this team is too weak?
After all, the two sides are still not familiar with each other, and it is not bad to have such an opportunity.
Song Zhishu just nodded when he heard the words, but didn't speak.
This is what strength brings.
The first time they met, although they met by chance, they were equals, there was no one who was superior or inferior. For example, Lin Cheng was experienced and old, so he became the leader of the team. Even scholars like Chen Jingyun chose to obey.
But now?
After showing his strength.
Everyone changed their attitudes, and Lin Cheng came here to ask for advice on almost everything, for fear of offending himself.
Song Zhishu was helpless about this, but he couldn't change it, because people are like this, they have a strong mentality, and they don't dare to offend at will. On the contrary, they will obey what the strong say, even if they think there are problems with what the strong say, they will still resolutely implement it.
In other words, whoever is stronger is right.
Just like in Taihao Sword Sect back then.
Why did everything subside after Master Taihao came out to speak?
Not only because he directly admitted his mistakes, but more importantly, he was the strongest present, saying what he said, and neither the Confucianists nor the Emperor of Zhou were afraid.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, Brother Lin."
At this time, Wang Chong came from afar, and after walking in, he first bowed slightly to Song Zhishu, and then continued: "I found a strange place at the source of the river, but when I wanted to continue to investigate, I found that Can't get close, don't know what it is."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and finally Lin Cheng said, "Mr. Song, do you want to go and see?"
Everyone's eyes also fell on Song Zhishu, waiting for his decision.
In fact, Lin Cheng and others wanted to go.
The weirder the place, the more likely chances will appear.
Moreover, Wang Chong was able to return safely from that place, which meant that there was definitely no great danger.
"If it's not far away, let's go and have a look." Song Zhishu thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He also knew what the people present were thinking, so he followed their wishes.
"Okay, brother Wang, you lead the way." Lin Cheng said.
Soon, a group of five packed up and put all useful things into storage bags before setting off.
The source of the river is not far away, only less than ten miles away. This distance is nothing to everyone, so they will arrive soon.
"Look, it's right there." Wang Chong pointed to a piece of wasteland ahead and said.
Everyone also cast their eyes.
I saw a black stone tablet not far in front. The stone tablet is not big, about three feet in size, but what is eye-catching is that around the stone tablet, there are wisps of black mist lingering. These mist emerge from it, but there is no Spread out, only floating in the surrounding area.
More importantly, there are almost no plants around the stele, and the bare one looks a bit abrupt.
However, because the stele is not big, if the distance is a little farther, it will not be obvious that this place is special.
"This breath makes me feel a little disgusted."
Chen Jingyun next to him opened his mouth, his brows were slightly frowned, and before he approached, a sense of resistance emerged spontaneously, as if he didn't like the smell and wanted to stay away.
Song Zhishu actually felt it too, and found that the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body was shaking, a little out of control.
But I am not sure whether it is affected by the stone tablet or the black mist.
Then he turned his head and observed the expressions of Lin Cheng and the others. They were still the same as before, and there was nothing unusual. It seemed that this feeling could only be reflected in himself and Chen Jingyun.
"Is it because Chen Jingyun and I are both scholars?"
Song Zhishu said to himself, and finally confirmed this possibility, otherwise Haoran Zhengqi would not react easily, and then he said again: "Be careful to approach slowly, if you find anything wrong, stay away immediately."
Haoran's righteousness responded, obviously the stele was not simple, and Song Zhishu also wanted to know what it was.
After everyone heard it, they nodded immediately, and then slowly approached.
Song Zhishu also used his soul to investigate the stele, but in the end he found that the soul could not penetrate the black mist, let alone observe the stele directly, so in the end he had no choice but to give up and observe with the naked eye.
And as the people present approached, the black stele was fully displayed. The whole body was dark and bright, like a black mirror, which could reflect people's shadows. As for the black mist, it didn't seem to pose any threat.
"The thing looked normal, but the closer I got, the more uncomfortable it became."
Chen Jingyun frowned, and stopped at the same time, unwilling to go any further, then he looked at Zhishu Song and asked, "Mr. Song, how do you feel?"
"Same as Mr. Chen, a little uncomfortable."
Song Zhishu answered truthfully, because the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body also vibrated more strongly.
If he hadn't chosen to suppress it, he would have rushed out of his body directly, and the awe-inspiring righteousness was aimed at that black mist.
"What the hell is this?" Song Zhishu used his eyesight to observe the stele, and found that there seemed to be runes engraved on the front, but he had never seen these runes before, and the material of the stele was also unknown in his memory. Not the slightest impression.
How could such a thing appear in the Qingyun Mountains?
What is that black mist?
Why did it cause the awe-inspiring righteousness in my body to fight against it?
A series of questions came to Song Zhishu's mind, but he couldn't figure it out at all, after all, he knew too little information.
"This stele seems to be a kind of array stone, and the runes on the stele seem to be somewhat similar to the array patterns engraved on the array stone." Suddenly, Li Xiansong, the only array mage among the crowd, spoke. Finally, he expressed his guess.
"Brother Li, what do you mean to say that this stone tablet cannot be made with a formation?" Wang Chong asked, and couldn't help but open his mouth: "But we also saw it when you set up the formation. How can there be such a big formation stone?"
The rest of the people also looked puzzled, because none of them had learned the art of formation, so they didn't know much about it.
Song Zhishu didn't speak, just waiting for the other party's response.
"The larger the formation stone, the stronger the formation to be arranged. Although this is the first time I have seen such a large formation stone, I can be sure that this may be a corner of a certain formation, and it is nothing Ordinary requisition." Li Xiansong said, he is a formation master, and he has studied formations for many years, and no one present can match them.
"Then can you see what kind of formation this is?"
Song Zhishu said, since the other party is sure, there should be nothing wrong, and he is even more curious about what kind of formation the stele will be arranged, and the reason for the awe-inspiring righteousness in the body.
"This"
Li Xiansong was a little obsessed, then shook his head: "Mr. Song, this formation is a bit esoteric, so I can't see it yet, but after I record the runes inside, I can go back and look up the relevant information, but there is no guarantee that I will find it." , Of course, this stele should not be in any danger now, because it is only a kick of the formation and has not been activated, so we can rest assured."
I am only a top-rank formation mage, and I am considered good among people of the same cultivation level, but I have never seen this one in front of me.
If you want to know, you have to go back and look up the information, but there are more than thousands of formations in the world?
Li Xiansong cannot say that he can find out.
"Okay." Song Zhishu nodded, looking at the black stone tablet in front of him, lost in thought.
"Since there is nothing to see, Mr. Song, in my opinion, let's leave first, or we will delay until it gets dark." Chen Jingyun spoke, standing not far away and not approaching, because the stele emitted The breath really makes me uncomfortable.
Of course, he didn't turn around and leave directly, but asked Song Zhishu's opinion first.
"Well, Mr. Chen is right, let's go back to Qingzhou City first."
Song Zhishu saw that Li Xiansong had recorded the shape and information of the stele, and immediately nodded in agreement. They went out for a few days and experienced a big battle yesterday, and it would take time to go back, so they really couldn't stay in the Qingyun Mountains for long.
Another point is that all the fire-pattern monkeys in this adventure have been beheaded, and maybe other monsters will come here soon.
The Qingyun Mountain Range is huge, and there are many powerful monsters. The task has been completed, and there is no need to delay it.
"Okay, listen to Mr. Song, everyone, get ready and go as fast as possible."
Lin Cheng also spoke, and stopped observing the stele.
Now there is only one thought in his mind, that is to return to Qingzhou City to complete the task, and then replace it with Lingshi, because the harvest this time is greater than ever before, Lin Cheng is naturally looking forward to it.
Li Xiansong and Wang Chong were also similar, without any hesitation, they directly summoned Feijian.
Yuhua Mountain is a lonely peak, and you must fly with the sword to leave.
in this way.
A group of five people went down Yuhua Mountain.
Of course, Lin Cheng and the others didn't get carried away by the big harvest, and chose to walk directly after descending the mountain.
The purpose is not to run into monsters. Although it is a waste of time, it is better to be safe.
after one day.
Outside Qingzhou City.
Five figures came down with the sword and landed at the gate of the city. They were Song Zhishu and his party.
"Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, the task has been completed, you can go to the Wanshi Pavilion at any time, do you want to come with us?" Lin Chengluo slightly cupped his hands towards Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun after he got down.
"No need, I'll wait for you at Yunlingzhai." Song Zhishu shook his head. He knew that Lin Cheng meant to ask himself to see if there was any problem, so that he could distribute them openly and transparently.
But after this time, Song Zhishu still believed in the character of these people, knowing that the other party would not do such a thing.
And although Qingzhou City is huge, even if they want to leave privately, they can be found in a short time.
What's more, this is also the task of the Wanshi Pavilion, and the Wanshi Pavilion also has the power to control.
Anyone who is not stupid will not mess around.
"I'm not going either."
"There are still some things to deal with in the academy, come to me after the fellow daoists are done."
Chen Jingyun also spoke, saying that he would not go to Wanshi Pavilion together, and at the same time turned his head to look at Song Zhishu and cupped his hands slightly: "If Mr. Song is free in the future, you can also go to Qingzhou Academy for a gathering. I have some questions about Confucianism. Ask Mr. Song for some advice."
He said this because he wanted to distance himself from Song Zhishu. There were many people in Qingzhou City who wanted to study, but only a few actually entered the country.
Chen Jingyun has already confirmed that the person in front of him is higher than himself in terms of Confucianism and Taoism, so it must be no problem to ask for advice.
"must."
Song Zhishu nodded in return.
Not to mention anything else, Chen Jingyun was able to put his own safety aside to protect Lin Cheng and the others at a critical moment. This kind of action is worthy of admiration, because ordinary people simply cannot do it.
"Then it's settled."
Seeing that Song Zhishu agreed, Chen Jingyun also showed joy, obviously very happy.
Afterwards, the five of them stopped talking and said goodbye one after another. After entering the city, they headed in different directions.
And Song Zhishu was still thinking about the black stone tablet on the way back.
Haoran's righteousness does not move easily, but as long as there is a change, it proves that there is definitely a problem. When he killed the monster, this did not happen, but it was because of a stone tablet.
"Is it a formation? But what does this formation represent?"
Song Zhishu thought about it, but he didn't have a clue, so he finally had to give up: "Forget it, wait until Li Xiansong finishes checking the information."
He doesn't know the formation, so it's definitely useless to think wildly, but he feels that no matter what the final result is, he must pay attention to the stone tablet in Yuhuafeng, because he always feels that it is not easy.
soon.
Song Zhishu came to Yunlingzhai, opened another room, and went upstairs to rest.
After returning to the room, he directly sat up cross-legged, began to adjust his breath, and then recalled the experience outside the past few days, thought carefully, thoroughly understood, and made up for his own shortcomings.
At the same time, in this process, Song Zhishu also transformed the more than 30 newly obtained Confucian righteousness in his body into awe-inspiring righteousness.
Time passed, two hours later.
Song Zhishu opened his eyes and smiled after feeling the mana in his body.
"Sure enough, I still need to practice. Although it took less than five days to go out, my cultivation base has improved a little. This effect is better than just taking pills at home."
Since his practice, Song Zhishu has basically devoted himself to hard work, and has hardly fought against monsters.
But after this time, he also understands that a real monk not only has a high realm, but also needs to go through all kinds of training, just like Lin Cheng and other casual cultivators, who really have no strength and no background, and they are not even willing to give up talisman pills However, in the process of fighting monsters and beasts, he used fierce moves, and he was not procrastinating, often able to kill existences stronger than himself.
Because casual cultivators can't rely on anyone, they can only rely on themselves, and if this kind of casual cultivators fight alone with sect disciples without any external force, their winning rate will often be very high.
This is the case for Song Zhishu, who needs to enrich himself with enough experience, and for him, it is also a kind of knowledge and action.
Without much thought, Song Zhishu got up, took out the pen and paper, and began to silently write Zhongyong.
This is something he has to do every day, and it has become a habit.
Unless there is no time outside like this time.
"Mr. Song?"
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and it was Lin Cheng's voice.
Song Zhishu looked at the time, and almost three hours had passed. It stands to reason that it shouldn't take so long to go to the Wanshi Pavilion to complete the task, but he didn't say anything, and opened the door directly.
"Mr. Song."
Lin Cheng cupped his hands slightly: "We went to Mr. Chen's first, so we came a little late."
He explained the reason directly, for fear of being misunderstood by Song Zhishu.
"It's okay."
Song Zhishu smiled and didn't mind, then invited the three of them into the room and poured a cup of spiritual tea for each of them.
"Mr. Song, you are too polite." Lin Cheng and the others were flattered. After the trip to the Qingyun Mountains, they no longer dared to treat Song Zhishu as the same, and they all got up to thank him.
However, this also made several people feel that Song Zhishu in front of him was completely different from ordinary disciples of aristocratic families.
"Mr. Song, the reward for our mission this time is 23 spirit stones, plus the extra purple leaf flat peaches, a total of [-] spirit stones after the sale, and the materials on those monsters, there are [-] spirit stones. So there are a total of [-] spirit stones, and this is the list given by Wanshi Pavilion, Mr. Song, please have a look." Lin Cheng didn't dare to delay, and directly reported the gains of this trip one by one.
Song Zhishu took the list, confirmed it was correct, and returned it.
In fact, he was also surprised by the harvest this time. More than 20 spirit stones are a huge sum of money.
But thinking about the monsters killed this time, it's actually nothing, after all, there is a late foundation establishment among them.
"Mr. Song, before we left the city, we agreed that all the rewards would be shared equally. It's just that the situation is different now. You contributed the most this time, and you also killed a monster in the late stage of foundation establishment. It can be said that you have made great contributions. All Mr. Chen and I After discussing it, the four of us will each get [-] spirit stones, and you will take the bulk, which is [-] spirit stones."
Speaking of this, Lin Cheng paused, and said respectfully: "Look, how about this distribution?"
The average distribution should also be under the condition that everyone contributes about the same.
Everyone knew what happened in Yuhua Mountain. If Song Zhishu didn't take action, maybe they would all be buried in the barren hills and become the food of monsters. Lin Cheng knew clearly, so he gave the big head to Song Zhishu directly.
And this has also been agreed by everyone including Chen Jingyun, and Song Zhishu deserves so much.
"Then I'll be disrespectful."
Song Zhishu was not entangled, and chose to accept it directly, because he knew in his heart that if he refused, Lin Cheng and others would definitely persuade him again and again, not to mention that, as the other party said, it was indeed him who contributed the most this time, and it was reasonable to take the lead .
"well."
Seeing that Song Zhishu had no objection to this, Lin Cheng smiled immediately.
At the same time, he took out a storage bag, which contained [-] spirit stones.
Song Zhishu poked out his primordial spirit, nodded, with a gentle expression on his face: "Friend Daoist Lin, if there is another chance like this next time, don't forget it."
Even for myself, this is quite a good harvest, and with the accumulation of experience, I naturally hope for a next time.
"This Mr. Song is willing to go out with us to do missions?"
However, this sentence made Lin Cheng and the others look shocked. They felt that this might be the only chance to cooperate with Song Zhishu, because the strength gap between the two parties was too great.
Instead of forming a team with people like myself, it is better to find stronger teammates, and the rewards will definitely be greater.
But a few people didn't expect that they still had the opportunity to cooperate with Song Zhishu, and they even brought it up.
"Why, don't you guys want to?" Song Zhishu smiled.
"Yes, of course."
Lin Cheng spoke directly without hesitation: "It is a blessing for the few of us to have Mr. Song join us."
Wang Chong, Li Xiansong and the others were also very happy. They felt that the biggest gain from going out this time was not the spirit stones, but being able to make friends like Song Zhishu. Just imagine if there are such powerful people in the future, when they accept the mission in the future , Is it possible to choose a more difficult one?
This is not comparable to the [-] spirit stones in hand, especially if the cooperation goes smoothly in the future, the relationship between them will get better and better, and they will get more benefits, and more importantly, Song Zhishu is not only strong in cultivation, but also a Confucian scholar who has entered the country, so Lin Cheng directly said that forming a team with Song Zhishu was a blessing.
"Friend Lin Daoist was joking, how can there be any blessing or fate?"
Song Zhishu gave up slightly, and then said again: "In the future, don't call the word Mr., and call it Daoyou as before."
It's not that Song Zhishu is modest, but that he thinks that he can't afford the word "Mr." with his entry level.
And choosing to continue to cooperate with Lin Cheng and others is because of their personalities.
I may have to stay in Qingzhou City for a while, and it is convenient to have a few companions who can go out to kill monsters together.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Song."
After hearing the words, several people nodded one after another. They felt that Song Zhishu was gentle and humble, and he really deserved to be a disciple from the aristocratic family. However, they didn't inquire about Song Zhishu's origin, and felt that this was too abrupt.
Immediately, the four of them chatted a few more words, before preparing to choose to leave after an hour.
Song Zhishu also got up, but soon he thought of the stele in Yuhua Mountain today, and immediately looked at Li Xiansong and said: "I am very interested in the history of that stele, if you have time, Li Daoyou, can you help me find out more? "
"Naturally, fellow Daoist Song, don't worry, there will be news within two days at most."
Hearing this, Li Xiansong also thought of the stele, and immediately bowed and nodded.
Soon, the three left.
At this time, Song Zhishu was the only person left in the room. Looking at the [-] spirit stones harvested this time, he planned to go to the Wanshi Pavilion again in two days to buy more Lingyuan Pills, so as to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible.
For some reason, he always felt that something big might happen, especially the trip to Yuhua Mountain, which aggravated Song Zhishu's premonition.
at the same time.
Lin Cheng, who had just left Song Zhishu's room, also turned his head and said to Li Xiansong: "Brother Li, you must do what Song Daoyou told you as soon as possible. No matter if there is any result, you must explain to Song Daoyou."
This was the first time Song Zhishu asked them to do something. Lin Cheng wanted to use this opportunity to continue to draw the relationship between them closer.
"Brother Lin, don't worry, I won't practice for the next two days, and I will definitely give Song Daoyou an answer."
Li Xiansong also knew the importance, so he went to do it immediately after speaking.
He also deliberately went to a few friends who practiced formations to inquire, and asked for a collection of books, which were all about the introduction of various formations, but there was a lot of content, and Li Xiansong didn't know where to find them for a while.
And for the next time, he almost stayed in the house, looking for all related things, and comparing them carefully.
In this way, two consecutive days passed.
In the early morning of this day, Lin Cheng and Wang Chong had just returned from buying pills and talismans outside, but they saw Li Xiansong still sitting in the room, surrounded by all the books about various formations.
"Brother Li, you haven't found it yet, have you?" Seeing this, Wang Chong couldn't help asking. He had been looking for it for a few days.
"Could it be that you are wrong, that stone tablet is not a formation at all?"
Lin Cheng came over and picked up the basic book, but he couldn't understand it, so he continued: "If you can't find it, forget it, explain to Daoyou Song, and Daoyou Song will definitely not mind."
"It's coming soon."
Li Xiansong opened his mouth without raising his head. He just held a book and compared the runes he wrote down on the stone tablet. Not bad."
But soon, when Li Xiansong saw the more detailed records in the book, his face changed drastically: "No, something might happen!"
