"Have a meal?"
Su Li was startled for a moment, and then asked with confusion: "After the monks establish the foundation, we no longer need to live with a full stomach. If it is a delicacy, there is nothing wrong with trying it. Why do we have to maintain three meals... ..."
Wenhun chuckled softly after hearing this, "You are right. Although this piece of meat is not the delicacy in your mouth, its effect is very special. The remaining disciples in the sect do not want to leave, largely because of this piece of meat. .”
"I see, then what's the use of this piece of meat?"
Su Li asked immediately, but Wen Hun shook his head, "This is a big secret of the sect. If you tell it, it won't work. After you eat this piece of meat and know its effects, don't tell others, otherwise ... Something very bad is going to happen."
Su Li wanted to ask what the bad thing was, but was stopped by Tattoo Soul's eyes.
After a while, Wen Hun left the courtyard. He also had to maintain his own practice and could not always be by Su Li's side.
Su Li stared blankly at the piece of meat the size of a washbasin for a while, then got up, covered the wooden box and took it to the kitchen. The yard she lived in was halfway up the main peak, next to Wenhun's yard. Although the yard was small, it had all the internal organs. Even the underground ice cellar is equipped.
At first, Su Li didn't know the purpose of the ice cellar, but now she understands that this cellar is specially used to store meat.
Cutting a long strip of fat and thin meat from the piece of meat, Su Li returned to the kitchen and boiled a pot of water, and found all the condiments sealed in the window with a meticulous expression.
I don’t know how many years have passed since the last time I cooked seriously.
A subtle emotion lingered in her heart, and her hands and feet became more agile.
This scene naturally fell into the water mirror in front of He Jiu.
"Su Yue was born in a secular world and had a miserable life experience. She has been familiar with secular farm chores since she was a child. Such familiar movements cannot be faked, and her age and status match her.
The ghosts in the Library Pavilion did not kill her, which means that no tricks were used on this woman. After all, those things like strange and weird secret techniques. If they were really used, the tattooed soul would not be able to stop those ghosts. "
He Jiu confirmed again and again, and his expression softened. At this moment, he finally gave up the thought of continuing to test, "We can't wait for the once-in-a-hundred-year salary ceremony. With the physique of the child with tattoo soul, guarding the sect for just one month... it shouldn't be possible A big mistake has been made.”
…
"Senior brother, I have been in the sect for a month. Why haven't I seen other senior brothers and sisters? Master also said that I am the twelfth disciple he has accepted."
At the entrance of the sect's main hall, Su Li and Wen Hun were sitting on the cold steps, looking at the mountains covered by thick fog.
"I'm the eleventh."
Tattoo Soul sighed and replied.
It seems that he went back to practice. Why didn't Master leave the guarding task to Senior Sister Yue and the others when he went out? Instead, he left it to himself.
Guarding the sect is really boring.
After guarding the hall alone for several days, he finally couldn't hold it back and dragged Su Li to guard the hall with him, and the feeling of loneliness was diluted.
As for what Master said before he left, they were forgotten in the torment of those days.
If Ni Zong really wanted to send a spy, how could he send such an innocent and young junior sister here? With Su Yue's temperament, she was afraid that she would be deceived and still helping count money, so she was not the material to be a spy.
"What about the other ten brothers and sisters?"
Su Li blinked, her clear and pure black eyes full of curiosity.
Every time the tattooed soul encounters this
With clean eyes, he did not want to show his hypocritical side. At the moment, he could only sigh again, shook his head and said: "I don't know, little junior sister, I have been practicing for less than a hundred years. Since I became a disciple of Master, except for you, I haven’t met any other fellow disciples.”
It takes less than a hundred years to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage!
Su Li's heart was slightly frightened, but his face showed surprise and envy, "Senior brother is so awesome!"
After saying this, she felt lost again, "Compared to my senior brother's talent, I am so ordinary. If a senior brother had not given me the great opportunity of the sect, I would never have been able to achieve the Golden Elixir."
Seeing that his unintentional words had hit his junior sister, Wen Hun suddenly felt ashamed and said repeatedly: "Junior sister, don't worry about it. The reason why I can practice so fast is just the means given by my master. Before I joined the sect, I was just a seriously ill person. The dying little beggar.”
As he spoke, he touched his warm skin and said, "Master said that my lifespan has reached the end. This method can change my life against the will of heaven, and I... did survive."
Su Li wanted to ask what the method was, but seeing Wen Hun's dazed look, after thinking about it for a while, he still made no move.
If he kept asking questions, no matter how stupid the boy Wen Hun was, he would still be able to detect the problem.
In a blink of an eye, the sun set in the west, and Wenhun no longer had to guard the main hall at night. He returned to his residence with Su Li, and shamelessly had a meal in Su Li's yard before heading back.
The cold moonlight shone down, like a layer of silver light covering the rocky road.
Wenhun looked back at the small yard standing in the forest, and sighed habitually,
"If the master later passes on the holy method to my junior sister and goes to the library to retreat for several years, what will happen to my mouth?"
Two days ago, he smelled the fragrance wafting from Su Li's yard and couldn't help but go to take a look. After seeing the delicious food turned into human food under the hands of his little junior sister, he took a bite. She was completely devastated and gave her share of meat to Su Li just to eat every day.
After thinking about it, Wen Hun couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only sigh again, turn around and leave.
Su Li sent away the tattoo soul, closed the courtyard door and returned to the secret practice room inside the house. After hanging the sign "Do not disturb your practice", everything around him became quiet, except for the candlelight in the secret room that flickered up and down from time to time, covering Su Li's body. Shadows were imprinted on the wall, like monsters with teeth and claws.
"This meat can actually slightly enhance the soul."
Su Li pretended to practice, but thousands of thoughts flashed through her heart, which made her feel a little solemn.
"My soul has reached the perfection of the heavenly soul. If I can accumulate a little more improvement, I might be able to forcefully break through to the next level and reach a semi-immortal soul comparable to a Mahayana monk.
Even I can benefit, and those ordinary disciples have benefited even more. No wonder none of them are willing to leave.
After the soul is promoted, the mind is quick. For me, when the soul is in the perfect state, I can easily release tens of millions of thoughts in an instant, and I can learn anything very quickly. Those ordinary disciples may not be able to perfectly absorb the power in the meat like me, but... as long as the soul is slightly improved, the speed of comprehending the mind can be several times faster. "
After figuring this out, Su Li opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It is indeed a fascinating effect, but cultivation is about the harmony of yin and yang, and the soul is also a yin soul. Too much yin soul will lead to insufficient yang energy and damage the physical body. If the imbalance reaches the extreme and explodes, it can even suck the physical body dry in an instant All the nutrients in the body died instantly. No wonder... "
Su Li's eyes brightened slightly, and she suddenly felt
It’s a feeling of clearing away the clouds and mist.
No wonder, this Shen Yang Sect lacks vitality. Every one of them has too many ghosts, resulting in a lack of vitality. But ordinary disciples cannot feel this themselves, they are only addicted to the pleasure of improving their souls and cannot extricate themselves, so He Jiu drives them away from the sect.
"In this way, the puzzle is solved, and only the dangerous places mentioned by Wenhun are left."
While muttering to himself, Su Li glanced at the candlestick, and the candle flame went out instantly.
Although she learned from Wenhun that He Jiu had left the sect, she was not sure whether this trip was to test her, so she simply observed it for a few more days.
"Senior brother, I'm so bored. What on earth has Master done? Why do you need you to guard the sect?"
Su Li sat by the steps, resting her hands on her knees and sighing.
Helplessness flashed across Wenhun's pale face, and he sighed deeply, "I don't know either. Master said he would only go for a month and then come back. Just one month... It has only been seven days."
The resentment in Wenhun's words became even heavier. If he was practicing, he would never feel bored, but he could only stand in front of the main hall every day. It was really... boring.
"Why does the sect's main hall need to be guarded?"
Su Li looked back at the closed door, "We also went in when Master was here, but there was nothing inside."
"Maybe there's something we can't see."
As if Su Li had reminded him of something, Tattoo Soul's expression became more thoughtful. After a moment, his eyes flickered, and he glanced at Su Li who was distracted beside him. His lips moved, but he finally held back. explain.
If he talks too much and scares his junior sister away, no one will be with him.
Su Li saw the troubled look on his face and smiled secretly in her heart, but she didn't force it.
There is a daily upper limit for the soul power of that piece of meat. Counting the piece given to him by tattoo soul, it is just enough for her to eat for a month. He Jiu left for a month, so she still had enough time, so she might as well wait until her soul power reached its limit before finding out the truth.
This is what Su Li originally thought.
But on the tenth day, when he and Wen Hun arrived in front of the sect's main hall, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
so quiet.
There was no sound around, even the sound of the wind disappeared.
"Brother, the sky seems to be getting dark."
Su Li looked up, panic and fear appeared in her eyes at the right time, and she couldn't help but tightly grasp the lapel of Wen Hun's clothes.
"Don't be afraid, senior brother is here."
It seemed that this was not the first time that Tattoo Soul had seen such a scene. His expression was very calm, but his body was tense, and his eyes kept scanning around, as if he was looking for something.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he looked into a void.
Su Li looked along and saw nothing.
With a thought in her mind, she turned the part to the Yin ghost. The Yin ghost in the shadow opened its eyes a little, and a huge and slender black snake suddenly came into view. At a glance, it was a hundred feet long, floating on the It kept swirling in the sky, and black mist kept spraying out from the gaps in its scales, turning into strange dark clouds.
"hiss!"
The huge snake head emerged from the coiled snake body, and as soon as the blood-red letter was spat out, two red lines as thin as earthworms slowly shot towards the two people on the ground.
"This is blood red in the mountains, how could it escape?!"
A look of horror appeared on Tonghun's face, his pupils shrank violently, and without saying a word, he grabbed Su Li and ran away to the main hall.
