Killing God

Leaving the cave and walking to the avenue outside, the first thing that catches the eye is the white and flat beach. The blue and clear sea water is gently surging, the sea and sky are the same color, and the sea breeze is blowing. With the seabirds flying in the wind in the distance, it is simply It feels like a paradise, and people feel like they are in the painting when they are in it. .

At this moment, many teenagers have already come out of their respective caves, or they are in groups in twos and threes, or they are silently walking alone and looking into the distance. They are all walking towards the road they came from yesterday. Everyone is going to the same place.

In yesterday’s brief book of Ling Xiao, there is also a sketch of the Six Herring Islands attached, which briefly introduces the location and situation of the Six Herring Islands, and also highlights the locations of some important places. Naturally, the Morning Star Hall is also marked on these It is one of the most important places, so most of the teenagers walked there knowing what they knew.

Shen Shi and Sun You walked in the crowd, and within a few steps, they saw sisters Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu walking past not far from their side, among them Zhong Qinglu turned her head and gave them both a hard look, which made her very angry He strode away without saying hello, and it seemed that the grievances from yesterday were still lingering.

Sun You rolled his eyes, and said to Shen Shi: "It's really strange that this girl is so aggressive."

Shen Shi snorted, and said angrily: "In the early morning, I was stared at so fiercely for no reason. I'm surprised."

Sun You choked for a moment, smiled dryly, and said, "Let's go, let's hurry up and find out where the Morning Star Hall is?"

According to the records on Ling Xiao's sketch and the markings on the herring sketch, the six herring islands, from the fish head to the fish tail, are directly distinguished by numbers.The island where Shen Shi and the others live is located in the "belly" of the herring, and it is called the three islands of the herring. However, the area of ​​this island is the largest among the six islands, and the location is also the best. Disciples and many senior seniors who have not yet broken through the qi refining environment, such as Su He yesterday, all live on these three islands, so the three islands of herring are sometimes called the main island of herring, or simply It's called Herring Island, which refers directly to the island where they are now.

The Three Herring Islands are very large, with a small mountain range on the north, south, and west sides, rolling up and down, with many forests, it looks green, and occasionally you can hear the sound of apes screaming and birdsong from the depths of the forest on the mountain.As for the large area from the east to the center of the island, the terrain is relatively flat, and most of the buildings built by Ling Xiaozong are within this range.

Walking along the seaside avenue, it didn't take long for Shen Shi and the others to arrive at the place where they arrived at Herring Island yesterday. On the outskirts of the flat sandy beach, the huge rock was still standing quietly in the sea water. It was hard to imagine how huge it was. What kind of power was able to make this huge boulder soar into the air yesterday, and bring many young people across the sea thousands of miles to arrive at Herring Island.

Judging from the simple map of herring, this place is still on the outskirts of Herring Island, and there is still a distance away from the busiest herring market on Herring Island where the Morning Star Hall is located. Therefore, after many teenagers cast curious eyes on Baixianyan, Then they took the middle road leading to the center of the island again.

Walking in the crowd, Shen Shi casually said to Sun You next to him: "Last night, I read Ling Xiao briefly and said that the place in the center of the island is called Herring Collection. It sounds a bit rustic, but it seems like some The name of a small seaside fish market village?"

Sun You chuckled, and said: "I've heard people say this before, saying that when our sect just built the foundation and repaired on this Qingyu Island, we originally wanted to name it with a fairy spirit. One of the patriarchs who presided over the affairs here was humorous. He only said that the island is full of dust and people are like dogs. If there is a fart fairy, it should be called Qingyu Village. Later, other patriarchs from the same sect really couldn’t see it and persuaded them. After a long time, I reluctantly changed a word, and used a slightly literary herring to deal with the matter."

Shen Shi clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Oh, after hearing what you said, why did I suddenly feel that this herring collection not only has no sense of rusticity, but also appeals to both elegance and vulgarity?"

Sun You was startled, then laughed loudly, nodded again and again, and said, "That's right, that's right, don't say it, it sounds rustic just now, but there is such a Qingyun Village in front, and the name of this Herring Collection sounds , I immediately felt much more pleasing to the ear."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked side by side, feeling that they were in a good mood, but some people walking beside them looked over, for some reason, a little further away, Zhong Qinglu snorted when the Zhong sisters were walking there , Said angrily: "It's inexplicable."

Zhong Qingzhu, who was beside her, said in a low voice: "Sister, don't be angry with them anymore, it's okay."

Zhong Qinglu waved her hand, looking at it, she didn't know if she didn't care what Zhong Qingzhu said at all, but just walked forward on her own, Zhong Qingzhu sighed, but hurriedly followed.

※※※

The legendary herring collection, which is sometimes rustic and sometimes inexplicably turned into a feast for both refined and popular tastes, is located in the center of Herring Island. Many young people walked along the road, and gradually they could see some houses appearing on the side of the road.The more you walk forward, the more houses and courtyards on the road, and there are also many pedestrians walking around. It seems that they are basically outer disciples in Ling Xiaozong's costumes.

According to Ling Xiao's brief statement, Ling Xiaozong, like most Hongmeng cultivation sects, only admits that disciples who have cultivated to the Condensed Origin Realm are eligible to be admitted as direct disciples, and if new disciples are trapped in the Qi Refining Realm for a long time and cannot break through However, Ling Xiaozong is not so heartless. Under normal circumstances, five years as a round of accepting apprentices, Ling Xiaozong will continue to allow those disciples who have not broken through to the Yuan Condensation Realm after five years to stay on Herring Island to practice.

In fact, in the past, there were indeed people who did not cultivate to the Yuan Condensation Realm in the first five years but broke through in the next five years. There are quite a few.Even in the second five years, that is, if there is no breakthrough in the entire ten years from the beginning to the end, Ling Xiaozong will give another chance at the end. In the last five years, if there is no improvement, you can only sigh that you have no Xianyuan had no choice but to leave Herring Island.

To put it bluntly, among the newcomer disciples that Ling Xiaozong has always received, those who can break through the Qi Refining Realm and cultivate to the Yuan Condensing Realm are generally only about [-]% to [-]% of the total number.And among these people, the number of people who broke through in the first five years and the second five years is also counted as five or five.The teenagers who can break through in the first five years are naturally talents with outstanding talents, and the chances of cultivating to a higher level in the future are much higher than those who break through in the next five years, so this part of the disciples has always been better than Ling Xiaozong. Pay attention to.As for the number of people who broke through in the next five years, there are quite a few of them, and occasionally there will be one or two extremely rare late-blooming geeks, but most of them will be trapped in the Yuan Condensation Realm for the rest of their lives.

As for Ling Xiaozong's last round of five-year opportunities given to the least talented disciples like alms, at this point, it is obvious that it is not suitable for the way of cultivating immortals, so it has been on Herring Island for more than ten years The disciples of time almost have no hope of breaking through at all, most of them are lucky one in a million, but in the end they still leave disappointed.

Shen Shi thought about this in his heart, and felt a little uneasy for a while. Of course, he himself was full of hope for the future. After all, this was his official first day after coming to Lingxiaozong. It is best for me to break through within five years.However, I was somewhat worried in my heart, in case... I fell into the second five years or...

Uh!

Shen Shi hurriedly shook his head to get these ominous thoughts out of his head.

Sun You next to him looked strange and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shen Shi grinned, found a reason to perfunctory, and dragged Sun You to move on.With the increase of roadside buildings, gradually the surrounding paths and some tall palaces appeared in the eyes. Apart from the excitement, it really looked like a small city market.

Especially when Shen Shi was looking around, he saw many houses on the side of the road that were open to the street, and disciples of the Lingxiao Sect came in and out from time to time. For no reason, he felt that they seemed familiar and familiar, but he still refused to believe it for a while. , and took Sun You to the side of the road for a few steps to look carefully at a few houses, and suddenly found that these houses that were open on the street were really... shops.

A shop that sells all kinds of spiritual materials needed for cultivation!

The name of this weird and rustic herring collection is really correct...

At the same time, there were not a few teenagers who found strange things around them. There was an uproar in the crowd for a while, and the voices of discussion continued one after another. Zhong Qinglu and other youngsters from Lingxiaozong's vassal family often have calm expressions, as if they have known this situation for a long time.

Although I was a little surprised, it was impossible for the newcomers to make more moves, so after a while, the group of teenagers continued to move forward slowly.Among the crowd, Shen Shi asked Sun You in a low voice: "How come there are shops here, you should know the reason?"

Sun You smiled slightly, looked around, and also said in a low voice: "Yesterday, Senior Brother Su told us a lot about the rules and regulations on Herring Island, haven't you forgotten?"

Shen Shi thoughtfully, nodded slowly, and said: "That's right, almost everyone has no spiritual crystals, let alone other spiritual materials..."

Sun You chuckled, and said: "That's right, so in the past five years, those high-ranking masters of the Lingxiao Sect are trying to force all of us new disciples to be in a difficult situation, and then try their best to earn spirit crystals. Desperately earning all kinds of spiritual materials, it is said that only under such circumstances can one truly see whether a person really has a future."

After finishing speaking, he clicked tut twice in his mouth, and Shen Shi looked at him in a blink of an eye, but he couldn't see any dissatisfaction with Sun You. It is said that this kind of rule is the most unfavorable for a child of a wealthy family like him, but for Shen Shi. It is good for students like Shi, whose Shen family is weak, to come to Lingxiaozong.

Thinking of this in his heart, Shen Shi said: "I mean, why did the brief introduction to Ling Xiao yesterday focus on mentioning that new disciples on Herring Island must pay attention to the various tasks assigned on the island? It seems that one of them may be to earn money. The way to get spirit crystals."

Sun You nodded with a smile, and said, "Exactly, besides that, there are..."

Before the words fell, suddenly there was a scream from the front of the crowd, but it was a bit of shock and fear, and even the voice sounded a bit sharper and harsher than usual, and at the same time there was a loud noise. The ground passed over, and many teenagers rushed forward at once:

"Ah! What kind of monster is that..."

"No, no, then... God..."

"Damn it, it couldn't be... the monster clan!"
