Killing God

Chapter 65 The Five Elements Palace

The windows and doors of the Hall of Five Elements were all opened, and the morning sun shone in from the outside, making the hall appear very bright, but it was a little less deserted. Different from the gossip patterns in the other halls of the Lingxiaozong, as soon as you walked into this hall of five elements, you can see that the broad and circular hall floor is neatly divided into five blocks, namely gold, green, white, red, The five colors of yellow correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The ground of each color starts from the center of the Hall of Five Elements, forming a big circle. At the last edge of the plot, there is a door of the same color. The door is closed, probably leading to the depths of the Hall of Five Elements.

There are not many people in the hall at this moment. Most of them want to come here because it is deserted on weekdays, so there are not many people stationed here. At first glance, there are only two people in the costumes of Lingxiao Sect’s personal disciples standing there. There was another young girl in front of them talking to them. At this moment, when they heard the movement of them, she turned her head and it was Zhong Qingzhu.

Both Shen Shi and Sun You were stunned. After walking over, Shen Shi first asked her: "Sister Zhong, why are you here?"

Zhong Qingzhu is now a fifteen-year-old girl, much taller than three years ago. She seems to be only half a head shorter than Shen Shi, and her figure gradually grows out. She is more exquisite and lifted, plus a delicate and gentle figure. Nowadays, her face is a bit more youthful and charming, and she is truly an admirable little beauty.

Seeing Shen Shi and Sun You here, her face was somewhat surprised at first, but then she showed a little smile. First, she nodded and greeted Sun You, then stopped her eyes on Shen Shi's side and smiled: "I came here to learn a five-element technique, Brother Shen, are you here for this too?"

Sun You spoke quickly and interrupted from the side: "Yes, Shen Shi complained that the spirit crystals are not enough recently, so he thought of learning a low-level five-element spell, so he could do some other tasks to earn spirit crystals." After a moment, Sun You pointed at himself again and said, "Me too."

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and glanced at him, then his gaze floated back to Shen Shi, with a caring expression on his face, and said, "Senior Brother Shen, have you...recently lacked spirit crystals?"

Shen Shi waved his hand and said: "Don't listen to what Sun You said, it's not that exaggerated, but if we continue to practice in the future, the consumption of spirit crystals will only increase unabated, so I wanted to come to the Five Elements Hall to buy a spell. Practice it."

Zhong Qingzhu thought for a moment, and said: "The tasks that need to be practiced by the Five Elements Magic...Do you want to catch the demon cave?"

"Eh?" Both Shen Shi and Sun You were taken aback. They didn't expect Zhong Qingzhu to be so sharp. They thought of this at once. Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two of them, Zhong Qingzhu confirmed the guess in his heart and smiled slightly. Staring at Shen Shi, he whispered softly: "There are not many tasks on the island that require five-element spells. It's almost the same, and the easier things are almost all... There is only the trapping hole because of the demon beast femininity. Fight, so few people go."

There is an unfinished meaning in her words, but both Shen Shi and Sun You understand that there are many tasks laid out on Herring Island, but naturally there are so many good things that people can grab, and there are no risks, easy to do, and even spiritual crystals. Popularity, the similar reasoning is like when Sun You, Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu and the rest of the family got the important tasks first, so there was not much choice left to Shen Shi.

The look on Sun You’s face was a bit sullen, but it seemed that Shen Shi was more calm. He seemed to have accepted this situation a long time ago. He smiled and said, "You guessed it right. This is a way I thought, but it’s just to catch demons. In fact, it’s nothing, but it’s just going to be farther and harder. As long as you don’t rush into the monster trap and meet those powerful old monsters, it’s really dangerous. After all, there are seniors in the sect in the monster trap all year round. Stationed." As he said, he glanced at Zhong Qingzhu and said, "Then what are you doing here?"

Zhong Qingzhu nodded slightly and said, "I have been working in Zhentang for three years. Several seniors and sisters said that my talents are okay. If I have the chance to go up the mountain in the future, I will be allowed to enter the hall. First passed me a set of the lowest-level'earth line formation', let me practice on my own, and also tried to arrange the formation."

Both Shen Shi and Sun You suddenly realized that they nodded their heads, and they looked at Zhong Qingzhu with different eyes, a little more admiring. It has been said before that when the cultivators of the human race in the world are in the Qi Refining Realm, there are almost no Taoist magical powers to cultivate, but the "array method" alone is a special case.

The most important thing for the arrangement of formations, especially low-level formations, is a variety of suitable spirit material array flags, plus some spirit crystals that inspire the formations. The requirements of the formation are not particularly high, so it is A rare Dao technique that can be practiced by cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm. But even so, the various spiritual materials needed for formation are generally expensive. It is difficult for ordinary monks to have such financial support. In addition, formation magic and Taoism are also rare and rare. It is difficult to see in the world. Few low-level monks would practice this Dao technique, that is, a great cultivating giant like the Lingxiao Sect, who has a profound and horrifying background, so that they can casually teach a Qi Refining Realm disciple to use the Dao technique.

"Earth-line formation?" Shen Shi thought for a while, and said, "It is said that high-level formations rarely use five-element spells, that is, low-level formations occasionally use five-element spells to increase their power. What about this?"

Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said: "Yes, the brother of the formation hall only taught me the tactics of array formation, and I have to prepare all the other spiritual materials, including the five-element spells."

Sun You interjected and smiled: "I can't see it, the formation technique is a very expensive Taoism. You can start practicing so soon. I knew that the task of picking up shells could earn so many spirit crystals. Years ago, I had to go to Zhentang with damned face."

Zhong Qingzhu's face changed slightly, and then he showed a bit of embarrassment. He shook his head and laughed in a low voice, "Nothing." He said for some reason, and glanced at Shen Shi secretly, with a vague expression in his eyes. After a flash, he said, "I have gained a lot from picking shellfish recently, and I have also taken a few tasks to do together, so that I can gather the spirit crystals in the formation. By the way, Brother Shen, if you really have It’s very tight, I have a few spirit crystals left here, so I might as well give you first..."

Shen Shi shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "It's that way, don't listen to Sun You nonsense."

Sun You stared at the side and said, "What is this, I am also short of spirit crystals, okay? Why did you only lend the spirit crystals to this stone, without thinking about me at all?"

Zhong Qingzhu smiled without saying a word, his eyes filled with tenderness, as if he had added a bit of gentleness, Shen Shi looked at him for a while, and then quickly turned away from the conversation, first pushed Sun You anger, and said: "You are in the Spirit Beast Palace. What else would you say if you feel comfortable and make money every day?"

After all, it doesn’t matter if Sun You yelled dissatisfiedly on the sidelines, "What is comfortable, dirty and smelly every day...", turned his head and smiled at Zhong Qingzhu: "I have heard of these low-level five-element formations. You really need some five-element spells as support. Since it is an earth line formation, you must be here to buy some earth-based spells?"

Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said, "Yes."

Shen Shi rolled his eyes and said, "Let me guess, the earthy spells must also be matched with the earth line formations. They must also be common and easy to practice...Well, do you choose the'rock stabbing technique' or 'Quick Sand Technique'?"

"Huh?" Suddenly a slightly surprised voice came from next to them, but it was from the two Jintang disciples who had been idly standing beside them when they started talking. These two men, a man and a woman, both seem to be in their twenties. Perhaps it is because in Shutang, the most deserted hall under the Lingxiao sect, they are used to being lazy, so they don’t look like other halls. There are so many rules, Zhong Qingzhu and Shen Shi and the others are chatting, they don't care, just stand aside casually and whisper.

But at this time, the woman among the two seemed to be a little surprised, and she looked up and down Shen Shi, and said: "Junior brother, don't you see that you actually have a good understanding of the Five Elements technique? "

Those who can become personal disciples, even in the deserted entrance of Shutang, are still at least practicing Tao Xing to the Ning Yuan realm. Shen Shi did not dare to neglect, and quickly clasped his fists to salute: "Return to Senior Sister, I was just a kid. I have some interest in the Five Elements Spell, so I know some."

The senior sister nodded, pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything.

After being interrupted by her, Shen Shi, Sun You and Zhong Qingzhu would not be able to chat anymore. Zhong Qingzhu whispered: "I plan to choose ‘quick sand technique’."

Shen Shi nodded, not surprised. Among the first-order five-element spells, the three most common and well-known spells are the fireball of the fire system, the water archery of the water system, and the rock spike of the earth system. These three are all attacking spells. , The power is fair, and the difficulty of practicing the first-order spells is average. In addition, there are still some common spells. The earth-based quicksand technique belongs to this list. Unlike the first three, the quicksand technique does not have a particularly obvious attack technique. It is basically a spell on the ground somewhere. The power created a quicksand, which caused the enemy opponents to struggle and stagnate after being trapped in it.

Although the quicksand technique is not powerful at first glance, and there are many restrictions on casting it, opponents only need to avoid that piece of quicksand during a battle to be safe and unaffected. So although this technique is also common, there are not many people. Practice. However, for the formation method, the quicksand technique is an extremely useful auxiliary technique. Because of the limitations of the formation itself, it is difficult for the enemy to evade movement from the beginning. If the quicksand technique is triggered again in the formation, it is even more unexpected. It will be extremely embarrassing, so Zhong Qingzhu's choice of quicksand is indeed a very suitable choice.

"What about you guys, what five element magic techniques are you planning to choose here?" Zhong Qingzhu asked while looking at the two of them.

As soon as these words came out, the two senior sisters and senior brothers next to him also turned their heads and looked at them. They were all customers who had come to send Lingjing, and a smile suddenly appeared on their faces. It seemed that Shutang was really poor here.

Sun You thought for a while, and said, "In the future, we are going to catch the monsters in the monster hole. Of course, we have to choose a powerful spell. Um... I'll do a fireball spell!"

Fireball is the most common five-element spell in the world. Among the ten casual practitioners who have learned the five-element spell, at least six or seven of them know this spell, which shows its practicality and popularity.

Shen Shi smiled, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then I'll learn'Water Archery'."

Chapter 66 Sea God

"My name is Xu Yanzhi, and this brother's name is Zhang Yihui. I am a disciple of Shutang's permanent residence in the Five Elements Hall of Qingyu Island. I am considered your senior sister and brother. If you still need it in the future, you can come often."

I collected the nine spirit crystals paid by the three juniors and sisters. This beautifully-looking and sweet-smiling senior sister was immediately happy, and she didn't seem to have any pretentiousness. She kindly introduced them to the Five Elements Hall. Rules, and at the same time, Senior Brother Zhang went to the red, yellow, and white gates of the Five Elements Hall alone, went in and went out to work for a while, and didn't know what he was doing.

On the other end, Xu Yanzhi was confessing to the three of them: "After a while, the three of you will enter the fire, water, and soil gates. Brother Zhang has already arranged it inside. You can get the magic tricks you bought when you enter. , But you can’t take away the magic formula. You need to memorize it in it, and then go back and practice it on your own. Um..." She thought for a while, and said, "Well, if your memory is not good, you can always come and find it later. I, go in again to read and recite, anyway, I just can't take away the tactics."

Shen Shi and the other three agreed.

Xu Yanzhi paused, and for the first time a stern tone appeared on his gentle expression, saying: "In addition, there is a strict rule in our Lingxiaozong sect. I think you are also aware of it. Everyone has the magical powers of Taoism, No matter where or by whom it is taught, it is forbidden to teach it to the same sect or outsiders privately. Violators will be severely punished by the rules of the house, you understand."

Shen Shi and the others nodded and said, "Yes." From the day when the door rules started, Senior Brother Su He, including Ling Xiao, had already clearly stated it in a nutshell, and they knew it well.

After such a short time, Zhang Yihui had already walked back and nodded to Xu Yanzhi. Compared with this eloquent elder sister, this elder brother Zhang did not seem to talk too much. From the beginning to the present, he seems to have only I said a few words with Xu Yanzhi, but not a word with Shen Shi and the others.

Xu Yanzhi turned his head and smiled: "Okay, Brother Zhang is ready, you go separately."

Shen Shi and the others saluted and thanked them together, and then each went to the three different gates. Shen Shi chose water archery, which is a very common attack spell of the water system, and naturally went to the white gate representing the water system.

When he opened the door and entered, Shen Shi felt a coolness from the white stone door, as if he really felt a little bit of the sea water. After stepping into the door, the white stone door slowly closed behind him, and the entrance was a stone chamber about half an acre. Except for the direction he came in, a dozen identical square holes were cut in the other three walls. There is a jade box, and a light yellow halo hangs down from the periphery of the hole, sealing the hole, which looks like a means of protection.

In the middle of the stone room, there is a small black wooden table with two futons on each side placed on the ground. Shen Shi hesitated, walked over and sat down on one of the futons cross-legged, placing his hands on the small table casually, in his eyes I looked around this curiously, wondering if it was the five-element spells stored in these little jade boxes?

After a while, a strange, soft sound suddenly echoed in this stone room, as if someone singing in the distance, and like a spring breeze blowing over the water, it was more silent than a sound. Those pale yellow auras lit up for a few minutes at the same time. After a while, I saw that the light yellow halo outside the first hole in the bottom row on the opposite wall suddenly dissipated. The jade box in the hole seemed to be supported by an invisible hand, flying in the air, calm and steady. The ground fell in front of Shen Shi.

The sound in the stone room quickly disappeared, and everything was calm. Shen Shi's gaze fell on the jade box on the small table, and then carefully opened it. A palm-sized jade slip was quietly parked in the jade box, the top one Three words are written on the cover:

"Water Archery".

※※※

Half an hour later, after thanking and bidding farewell to the two Shutang senior sisters, Xu Yanzhi and Zhang Yihui, the three gathered again outside the Hall of Five Elements.

"Everything is alright?" Sun You asked first.

Both Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu nodded, and Sun You smiled and said: "That's good, Shen Shi, let's practice this technique first, and then go to catch the demon cave together."

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Okay, where are you going now?"

Sun You said, "I have to go to the animal farm. I won't say much, I'm leaving now." After saying hello, he walked quickly, and Shen Shi looked back at Zhong Qingzhu and laughed. :"where are you going?"

Zhong Qingzhu said, "I also want to go back to Zhentang, how about you?"

Shen Shi thought for a while, and said, "I'll go to Hongbang Village again. Although the old man is black-hearted, he can earn a little bit. After I learn the water archery technique, I can go to the monster hunting cave and do the monster hunting mission. , Let’s see if there is any better way to earn spirit crystals."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, and said: "Master Shen...Stone, if you really lack spiritual crystals in your cultivation, I still have some..."

Shen Shi waved his hand, chuckled, and said, "It's all Sun You casually breaking off, not to the point where there is no spiritual crystal for cultivation."

Zhong Qingzhu's eyes were soft, staring at him quietly, and nodded after a while, and said: "Then look at it for yourself, if you have a tight hand, you must remember to tell me, after all..." She paused. , Whispered, "I'm on the side of Zhentang after all. The mission rewards Lingjing is not bad, and other tasks will be accepted on weekdays, so Lingjing is relatively generous."

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Those are the spirit crystals that you earn through hard work. What do I take yours? Okay, it's okay. Didn't I figure out a way by myself? Wait for me to go later. Fighting magical powers in the demon-catching cave, earning more than ten or twenty spirit crystals at a time for you to see, maybe you will borrow money from me at that time, don’t forget the spirit materials consumed by the formation method, it’s very much converted into spirit crystals. The big one."

Zhong Qingzhu stared at him for a moment, then smiled, bright and charming like summer flowers, and said: "Okay."

※※※

After bidding farewell to Zhong Qingzhu outside the Hall of Five Elements, Shen Shi walked to Hongbang Village. It’s not that he didn’t go to Baihetang to take over other tasks in the past three years. It’s just that although there are a large number of tasks on the whiteboard there, the ones that are stable, easy to do and have high returns are actually a few fixed ones, without exception, they are early. The quota is occupied by others, and naturally most of them are children from a family.

Shen Shi has no background and has no way out. Naturally, it is difficult to receive such a good thing that is safe and easy to do. Sun You privately told him to help him find one, but this is such a fiercely competitive task that demand exceeds supply. After grabbing a spot in his hand, I really don't know how much the human face to pay, so after thinking about it carefully, Shen Shi still politely declined Sun You.

Therefore, in the past three years, Shen Shi’s longest task was actually peeling shrimps in Hongclam Village, which is not on the whiteboard of Baihetang.

Walking all the way to the Red Clam Village, I saw the beautiful and slender figure standing at the door of the village from a distance. Needless to say, it was naturally the starfish of the Red Clam family.

In the past three years, the starfish has grown a lot, and her appearance has become more and more beautiful, but the most conspicuous thing is the red clam shell on her body. With the increase of age, the color becomes more and more bright and bright.

Shen Shi has worked in this village of Red Clam for three years, and his understanding of the Red Clam family is better than that of others on the island, knowing that from the eyes of the Red Clam Clan, the more red and brighter the clam shell, the more beautiful. In other words, the starfish can almost be regarded as the little girl in Hongcang Village.

Approaching the entrance of the village, Shen Shi smiled and waved to the starfish. The starfish also showed a smile. At the same time, several men, women and children walked by in the village of Hongbang. They all laughed when they saw it, and someone said loudly:

"Oh, starfish's kid is here again!"

Shen Shi was startled, but the starfish turned around and shook his head, ignoring the narrow smiles of the aunts and aunts, ran over and pulled Shen Shi to the shore of the beach outside the village.

The sea breeze blows the skirts of the two of them, the sky is clear and the sun is gentle, and the blue water slaps against the white sandy beach, rustling.

In the distance, several two-pointed canoes are sailing towards the open sea. Shenshi has been peeling shrimps here for three years. He knows almost everything in Hongcang Village and recognizes that it is red. The fishing boat of the Beng clan stunned for a moment, and said, "Hey, I remember that today doesn't seem to be the day to go fishing. Why does your village go to sea to go fishing?"

Starfish also looked into the distance and said, "Because the harvest has been bad recently, I heard my grandfather say that I don’t know why. Now it is not only ghost shrimp, but also other fish species in the sea. Every time I go out to fish. The harvest is almost half of the original or even less, so I had to go out fishing a few more times.” As he said, Haixing suddenly clenched his fists against the blue sea and placed his hands on his heart, showing a little sincere respect on his face. Said, "I hope Poseidon will bless your uncles and uncles to return safely."

Shen Shi stood beside her, staring at the vast sea in front of her, and saw the calm and calm sea, the sea is soft, just looking at the scene in front of her, who would have thought that the sea in front of her three years ago was also in front of her. The terrible energy, the violent turbulence of the storm made people tremble.

As for the sea **** in the mouth of the starfish... Shen Shi quietly curled his lips. In the past three years, he is considered to be the most human disciple who has entered and exited Hongbang Village. He will come here almost every day. The sea **** statue on the altar of the village, Naturally, he was already familiar with it.

When I first saw it, I thought the statue was weird. It looked like a sea beast with a weird body. Later, I heard the knowledgeable brother Wang Gen mention it once. It turns out that the sea **** worshipped by the Red Clam family is actually A certain huge sea beast'Pighead Dragon' in the depths of the sea.

According to Senior Brother Wang Gen, although the pig head dragon has a dragon character, it has nothing to do with the dragon family that has been famous since ancient times but has disappeared. At most, it is huge and in the deep sea, appearing accidentally. It was mistaken for the Dahailong clan.

The pig head dragon is cruel and bloodthirsty, and he is the overlord in the deep ocean. No one can figure out why the red clam clan takes this as a god, but if you really want to say that praying to the pig head dragon will bless you, Shen Shi naturally does not believe it. of.

"Even if the pig-headed dragon senses the prayer, let alone bless you, as long as it doesn't come and eat your people, it will burn incense!"

Shen Shi secretly thought this in his heart, turned his head and glanced at the starfish, only to see the pious look on the girl's face, as if she was still sincerely telling the "sea god" what she wanted.
