As soon as Xiao Chen bowed his hand, he went away alone, and before he had gone far, the red-clothed elder suddenly stopped him: "Wuchen, you wait a minute." ”

Xiao Chen stopped and turned around: "What does the elder command?"

The red-clothed elder looked at him, stroked his white beard, and said slowly: "Among the new disciples this time, you have the highest Taoism, are you willing to be the senior brother of the new disciples this time?"

As soon as these words came out, many newcomers in the distance were surprised, they naturally knew something before they came, Tianji Pagoda is not the same as some other sects, the competition here is very fierce, especially between old disciples and new disciples, for the sake of cultivation resources, there are constant conflicts, which is also a kind of grinding.

And let Wuchen be their senior brother, obviously the two elders took a fancy to him very much, so let him be the newcomer's senior brother, and while leading the newcomers to cultivate, they also had to protect their junior brothers and sisters.

Of course, no one here is unconvinced, after all, the strength that Xiao Chen showed just now, they are obvious to all, at this moment, many people have shown envious eyes, being able to become the "hand-picked" senior brother of the trial elders, it means that the future achievements will be higher, and it will be easier to get the guidance of the "four elders" of the Tianji Tower.

At this moment, the two elders looked at Xiao Chen, originally thinking that he would nod happily, but unexpectedly, he arched his hand: "I'm sorry, the disciple thinks that he doesn't have this ability yet." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the distance was even more stunned, why did he refuse? Such a good opportunity, others can't ask for it, the disciples of those previous years, if they want to be a senior brother, they all fight for their heads, and they decide by fighting methods, and now it is the elders who have appointed him to be this senior brother, why does he want to refuse?

Everyone was incredulous, and the girl named Lingluan also ran over quickly, shouting with a surprised face, "Hey! Wuchen, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry. ”

Xiao Chen arched his hand to the two Trial Elders again, turned around and went into the distance.

He wouldn't be this senior brother, even if he knew that being this senior brother would make it easier for him to find that lonely lamp senior in the future, but he wouldn't.

Now every time he thinks of Qianyu Nishang, there is still a sting in his heart for a moment, so he will no longer have a bond, and he will no longer have a bond with anyone.

Besides, he didn't come here to cultivate like everyone else, but to achieve infinite achievements in the future, he was just looking for someone.

The two trial elders looked at his figure leaving alone at the moment, and nodded slightly, everyone has their own ambitions, since he doesn't want to be this senior brother, then they will no longer be reluctant.

......

At night, a crescent moon hung obliquely, Xiao Chen performed the best because of the trial, so he had a separate courtyard, and at this moment he was sitting on the windowsill of the attic, looking at the crescent moon in the sky in a daze.

The thoughts in my mind are confused, and sometimes I think of Weiyang, where is Weiyang now?

Sometimes I think of more than 20 years ago, when the ancient village was bleeding overnight, who did it, what was it for, and who was it......

He took out the blood jade given by his master, only to see that there was a faint red light flowing on the blood jade, and until now, he can still feel a trace of blood connection from this blood jade, especially after picking up the mysterious black disk in the ruins below the desert, this feeling of blood connection is even more obvious.

Why does the blood jade that Master gave him feel like he is connected to his blood?

He took the blood jade in his hand, thought about it repeatedly and couldn't understand it, took a deep breath, and had to take the blood jade back, for some reason, he now felt that his whole body was a secret, whether it was the Heavenly Book Exercise, or this blood jade, or the mysterious black disk, it was all a secret.

I don't know how long it took, but the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold wind was whining, rolling up dead leaves on the ground.

Suddenly, he remembered another thing, when he passed by the Wild Sand Castle before, he heard Granny Meng say that the man who was badly injured three hundred years ago, although his injuries were healed by Nian Xiangshu, but his strength could not be recovered, where did that person go in the first place? Could it be...... Been here too?

Xiao Chen's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and he always felt that things were very unusual, who was that person? More than three hundred years ago, more than three hundred years ago, what happened in the Immortal Yuan Ancient Land? Xuanqing Gate......

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and a wisp of black qi suddenly appeared in the center of his eyebrows and between his palms.

"It's this dead air again......"

Xiao Chen's face turned pale, looking at the wisp of dead air in his palm, a few drops of cold sweat gradually oozed from his forehead.

Today, when he used his strength to resist the two attacks of the purple-clothed elder, he faintly affected this dead qi in his body, and now he didn't know what was going on, because of the cultivation of the Book of Heaven, now in his body, it seemed that a seed of death had been planted.

This seed of death gave him the ability to manipulate life and death, and he could manipulate the life and death of all things at will, so that his cultivation increased greatly, and his Taoism has far surpassed that of his peers.

But at the same time, this seed of death also seemed to be eating away at him little by little, and even his mind was unconsciously changing, becoming ruthless, becoming cold, and becoming indifferent to life and death.

Now he can still suppress this backlash with a high and deep Dao method, but he doesn't know what will happen in the future.

After a long time, he finally suppressed this dead qi again with the Yaoguang Mind Method, but he didn't know when the next attack would be, or if it would suddenly erupt when he was using his strength.

......

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Chen and the other twenty-three newcomers went to the cultivation peak, which was the place where the disciples practiced on weekdays, and there were many cultivation valleys, each of which had a different aura.

This time, the newcomers were very lucky, the elders assigned them a cultivation valley full of spiritual energy, but in this way, the old disciples who had cultivated in this valley before had to withdraw, thinking that in the future, there would be a conflict.

But none of this is important to Xiao Chen, on the third day, he didn't go to the cultivation valley anymore, others came to the Tianji Tower to cultivate, but he came here just to find the Lone Lamp senior, and after finding the Lone Lamp senior, he had to leave the Tianji Tower and go to find Weiyang.

And the lonely lamp predecessor is actually one of the "four elders" of the Tianji Tower, if the newcomer wants to see the four elders, the only way to do so is through the tower called "Tianji".

"Tianji" tower, this is also the top priority of the disciples' cultivation, each disciple must enter the "Tianji" to cultivate, "Tianji" has a total of nine hundred and eighty-one layers, the disciples have a chance to enter the tower once a year to try, through each layer of the test, the final can go up to which layer, the next year, you can cultivate in that layer.

If the newcomers want to meet the four elders, they must at least reach the "thirty-sixth level".

Three months later, it was time to enter the trial in the tower, so now, Xiao Chen only needed to wait quietly for three months.

Before I knew it, a month had passed, and it was already winter, but there was no heavy snow on the Tianji Peak, and some were just a severe cold.

This month, Xiao Chen has never been to the cultivation valley again, and has always practiced in his courtyard attic, just after noon this day, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, followed by a girl's anxious voice: "Wuchen! Are you inside?"

Xiao Chen ignored the girl outside, no matter how the other party shouted, he never opened his eyes, and in the end, the girl suddenly ran up to the pavilion, pushed the door and walked in, but it was the girl named Lingluan before.

"Get out. ”

Xiao Chen still closed his eyes and said coldly.

Lingluan walked over and looked at him with earnest eyes: "Wuchen, you can help us, we can't beat them, now the senior sister and junior brothers have been driven away by them, we have no place to cultivate, if we continue like this, we can't gather the aura of the cultivation valley, two months later, we won't be able to enter the Tianji Tower at all, in that case, we won't be able to enter the Tianji cultivation for the next year......"

Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes, and when Lingluan saw him open his eyes, he hurriedly brought a cup of tea from the table next to him, and looked at him earnestly: "Wuchen, can you help us......?"

Xiao Chen didn't go to pick up the tea she brought, but said lightly: "This kind of thing, you should go to the elders." ”

Ling Luan shook his head after hearing this: "No, no, no, the elders won't care about this kind of thing, only you can help us, three days later, Feng Gufei's people have a duel with us, but we can't beat them at all, if we fail, we have no place to cultivate......"

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the fallen leaves all over the yard, and said lightly: "I won't help you." ”

"Why?"

Lingluan looked at him in surprise, all the way she came, she thought to herself that no matter how cold this person was, he would never be ruthless enough to see death and not save him, but now, ......

She walked over slowly and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you help us......"

"There are so many whys. ”

Xiao Chen's voice was cold, and he turned around and walked back, Lingluan was stunned behind him, and said for a long time: "But...... But aren't we all in this together?"

"Together?"

Xiao Chen slowly sat back and said lightly: "When did I say that I was with you, go back, I won't help you." At the end of the sentence, he closed his eyes and ignored her.

After a while, Lingluan walked up again, and thought for a long time before saying, "That...... Otherwise, how about I give you spirit stones? I have many, many spirit stones, and I can give them to you. ”

As she spoke, she saw her pick it up in her sleeve, and finally took out a light purple spirit stone and handed it to him: "Look!"

Xiao Chen still didn't open his eyes, Lingluan looked at the small spirit stone in his hand, slowly lowered his head, scratched his head and said: "I, I only have this one now......" At this point, he suddenly raised his head again, and said seriously: "But in the future, I can give you a lot of spirit stones in the future! I have a spirit stone as high as a mountain!"

"I said I wouldn't help you, but I won't, it's useless to talk more, don't disturb my cultivation. Xiao Chen's voice was cold, and at the end of the words, his sleeves flicked, and a palm wind sent Lingluan out.

Lingluan was sent out of the door by the palm wind, and he shook back a few steps before standing firmly, and was about to say something, but he heard a "bang" and even the door was closed.
