Chapter Ninety-Eight: Island in the Heart of the River
The beggar king also had a mouth full of sourness, and said, "Looking at the cultivation of Qingyang Daoyou, I'm afraid I started cultivating ten years ago, right?" How old was that? This fairy fortune is really envious. ”
Qingyang has only been in contact with immortal cultivation for more than a month, but if you add up the time spent practicing martial arts with the master, isn't it ten years, and the eyes of this beggar king are still very poisonous.
Among the few casual cultivators present, except for Liang Chongtian, who was relatively young, the other people were all in their thirties and forties. Some of them are because they have been in contact with the Immortal Dao relatively late, and some of them have taken more detours because of no one to guide them, but more because of their own limited qualifications, their cultivation resources are insufficient, and it is more difficult to improve their cultivation.
For monks, age is very important, once a certain limit is passed, the qualifications will become worse, the cultivation will be more difficult, and the chance of breaking through when encountering bottlenecks will be smaller. At their age, their future achievements are limited, and unless they encounter some opportunities against the sky, it is impossible for them to break through to the Qi Refining Period in this life.
He started cultivating ten years ago, which means that Qingyang had immortal luck when he was five or six years old, and he didn't waste any time at all, and he didn't take any detours, which was much better than them. Don't look at Qingyang's cultivation is the lowest here, but he can't stand his youth, he has more time than others, and he has more opportunities in the future, and his future is bright, how can he not be jealous?
However, this is not a place to talk, and several casual cultivators did not greet him too much, and directly asked Qingyang if he wanted to go to Hong Mantian's residence with everyone to get together.
Qingyang was also the first time he had come into contact with an immortal cultivator who had a similar cultivation to himself, and he wanted to see how other monks interacted, and at the same time exchange cultivation experience with everyone, so he directly agreed to go with everyone.
Qingyang has already calculated in his heart, everyone is meeting for the first time, and they are very wary of each other, no one should have any crooked thoughts, and it is unlikely that they will unite to target themselves alone, and the safety aspect should also be guaranteed.
Seeing that Qingyang had no objection, Hong Mantian led the way directly in front, and several other people followed him out of the Tiger Gang station, leaving the mess on the scene to the Tiger Gang and Hu Xiaozhong.
The five masters of the Tiger Gang were killed and one was injured, and nearly half of the middle-level strength was also lost, which can be described as a heavy loss. Fortunately, there is still the support of White Horse Hall behind Hu Xiaozhong, and he went to participate in the Knock Immortal Conference Hu Xiaodong as a deterrent, as long as other gangs do not unite, there should be no danger of destroying the gang.
But these have nothing to do with Qingyang, how Hu Xiaozhong succeeded to the position of the leader of the Tiger Gang, how the Tiger Gang cleaned up the situation in front of him, and how to deal with the threat of other gangs after the strength of the Tiger Gang was greatly reduced, there is no longer any long-winded here.
The group followed Hong Mantian out of Kaiyuan City, and then walked north along the road for more than two hours, until the sun was in the west, Hong Mantian turned around and led everyone to the Jinsha River.
In a bay of the Jinsha River, there was a small boat parked, and a white-haired old servant was waiting on it. This old servant is Hong Mantian's subordinate, Hong Man went to Kaiyuan Mansion to do things, and he and the boat have been waiting here.
Hong Mantian didn't say anything, just waved his hand at the old servant, and then beckoned everyone to get on the boat, and then the old servant propped the boat and headed towards the river. A quarter of an hour later, the boat stopped on the edge of an island in the middle of the river, the old servant stopped the boat, and Hong Mantian beckoned everyone to board the island in the middle of the river.
The area of Hexin Island is not large, the length and width are only forty or fifty zhang, and the total area is less than thirty acres. Most of the island is covered with trees, and only in the center of the island is there an inconspicuous courtyard, which has only a dozen rooms.
The surrounding trees are abundant, completely covering the small courtyard, if you don't come to the island, you can't find that there are people living here, the courtyard is unique, the environment is elegant, and no one disturbs it, but it is a good place for monks to retreat.
Hong Mantian introduced as he walked: "This island is only inhabited by me, my son and the old servant, the old servant has opened a small piece of fertile land outside the yard, and he can be self-sufficient in food or something, except for sometimes going to Kaiyuan Mansion City to buy some necessities, we rarely go to the island in normal times." ”
The beggar king looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder even my beggar king has never heard of Hong Daoyou's name, it turns out that you live in seclusion on this island, this is indeed a good place to meditate and cultivate, but it is much stronger than my flower nest in Kaiyuan Mansion City." ”
Ding Gong also said: "Yes, our husband and wife have no fixed place to live, and we have been wandering around all the year round, but we have delayed our cultivation, and we should find a place like this when we go back and improve our cultivation well." ”
"The environment here is good, but it is isolated from the world, there is little communication with people, and the cultivation resources cannot be replenished, so you can only build your own car behind closed doors, and your cultivation is very slow to improve." Hong Mantian shook his head and said.
After a few more words, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and a child of about ten years old walked out of the courtyard. This child is Hong Mantian's son Hong Shenghe, who heard his father's voice and came out to greet him. That Hong Shenghe saw the seniors present, and was sent away by his father, and then Hong Mantian led everyone into the main hall.
After everyone sat down, the beggar king sighed and said, "This time it's really a big loss, not to mention that the Knock Immortal Order was not grabbed, and a Vajra defense talisman was wasted, which is really unlucky." ”
When Ding Gong heard him say this, he also pouted beside him and said: "You are good enough, my wife was shot by a crossbow arrow, if it weren't for the fact that there was an antidote pill in her hand, maybe this time our husband and wife would be separated by heaven and earth." ”
At this time, the lame Taoist also said: "Who has no loss? My Dao robe is a low-grade magic weapon, and it is still defensive, and it was shot by nearly ten crossbow arrows at the same time, and its defensive ability has dropped by at least one or two percent, and I don't know when it will be repaired. ”
Qingyang didn't show his head at that time, but there was no loss, but all the seniors here here were the seniors in the scattered cultivation world, Qingyang's cultivation was not high, and he didn't know much, so he could only keep his mouth shut, listen more and talk less.
Hong Mantian also nodded, and said: "I didn't expect this Hu Zhentai to be so resolute and deceive everyone, we can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice this time." I don't know if Hu Xiaodong will be able to build any famous hall in the future, if Hu Xiaodong returns from school one day, I am afraid we will all be forced to die. ”
