C66 Three-member team (1) (1/2)
When Shu Yu left Wu Daozi's courtyard, the Sword Pavilion had to guard. Then, who should he send? Why not let Dong Lang and Shu Jian be together again? No, Dong Lang was currently trying to break through to the eighth level, he could not let him go, furthermore, he did not know whether Dong Lang would live or die at the border or not, and he was not willing to let Dong Lang take the risk, but if he let the weaker disciples go, they would probably just be sending themselves to their deaths. Shu Yu was also in a difficult position.
Another day passed. Shu Yu stood under the tree and thought deeply as he held a cup of tea. Suddenly, he felt the surrounding temperature drop, and the boiling water in the cup became cold. A large gust of wind blew past, and Shu Yu's clothes fluttered in the wind, as if they were being absorbed by the blue light. An invisible airflow flashed across Shu Yu's eyes, and he saw that the energy that was roiling and dissipating between the heaven and earth was being sucked away continuously, and in the end, the blue light exploded, and like ink that had been lost on paper, layer after layer of blue light pushed the dark clouds away, and the sky once again became as bright as the sun.
When Shu Yu saw all of this, he was startled. In that direction, was exactly the direction Dong Lang was training in. Could it be that Dong Lang had reached the eighth floor? Shu Yu thought while walking towards Dong Lang. Upon closer inspection, his eyes had become a light blue color. Dong Lang tried out his hands, but aside from his enlarged dantian, the zhenyuan had grown even stronger, so he did not have any sort of special feeling. Dong Lang looked at his hands, and at this moment, Shu Yu's voice came from afar, ”Dong Lang, you've reached the eighth floor, right?” Shu Yu walked closer to Dong Lang, the further he went, the colder the temperature became, and the chill he felt was even stronger compared to before. If he did not have the zhenyuan protecting him, the cold energy would have entered his body. Dong Lang also realized that his surroundings had been covered in a thick layer of frost. He tried to control the zhenyuan but he suddenly realised that the uncontrollable coldness had suddenly dissipated, and for some reason, the coldness he felt had disappeared! Thus, he hastily ordered the zhenyuan to eliminate the cold Qi emitted from his body. Seeing that Dong Lang had managed to control his own cold Qi, Shu Yu smiled slightly, as he was very satisfied with the comparison. In the beginning, when he accepted Dong Lang as his disciple, he only felt that he was the same as how he was back then, and did not think highly of Dong Lang's talent. But now, it seemed that Dong Lang's progress had far exceeded his expectations, and taking such a disciple was also a blessing.
”Master, how long has this disciple been in closed door cultivation for?” The moment Dong Lang came out of seclusion, he wanted to know if the time he had spent in seclusion exceeded three months.
”Hur Hur Hur, it's only been a month.” Shu Yu replied.
”Oh, that's good.” Dong Lang heaved a sigh of relief.
After his closed door cultivation was complete, Dong Lang did not plan to stay any longer and returned to the fourth hall with his master.
In order to choose the three of them, Shu Yu had to put in great effort as well. In the end, he decided to look for Feng Zhi and calculate a bit. Shu Yu came to the fourth hall of the Everlasting Pavilion, ”Old man, if you're not here, come out and take down your signboard.” Shu Yu shouted towards the four halls.
”What are you yelling for? If you keep on yelling, I'll blast you out.” Hearing Shu Yu's shout, Feng Zhi also ridiculed and replied.
Shu Yu walked in and Feng Zhi also stood up to welcome him. There was an Eight Immortals Table, four bamboo chairs, a purple clay teapot, and two small teacups.
”May I know what Hall Master is here for?” Feng Zhi asked.
”Last night, a Black Man made a night raid and said that the boundary was about to open. Five Snow Wind Hall s have already disappeared. I went out to capture him, but in the end, my third junior brother came and let him escape. Now Master wants me to send three people to investigate. ”I don't know who to send, but you'll help me figure it out.” As Shu Yu made clear his intentions of coming here, his expression grew heavier and heavier.
”There's such a thing, I'll help you deal with it right now.” With that, Feng Zhi took out a round object that looked like a copper coin, but it did not have a hole, and on it was a pattern that resembled a Yin-yang fish. Shu Yu did not understand the Dao of Divination, so he did not speak. At this moment, a black fish appeared behind his back, a white fish. But no matter how one looked at it, it didn't look like the Yin-yang fish in the Tai Chi Diagram, the black fish had two front claws, and two horns on its head that were like small bamboo shoots, there were also circular little threads on the horns, the white fish had two long whiskers, and its fins had evolved into small wings. The fin on its back was red, which made Shu Yu look like a ”winning fish” no matter how he looked at it. The black fish seemed to be ”stingray”, their bodies were seven to eight feet long, they would not die even if they caught fire, their blades and swords would not enter, and they would live in the Mount Kunlun's ice river all year round. The two fishes were like a taiji diagram that continuously revolved around him, sometimes larger and sometimes smaller. Shu Yu watched them quietly, and discovered that when they became larger and sometimes smaller, they just happened to be the same as Feng Zhi's heartbeat. Following which, the two fishes continued to shrink, and when they were about a foot old, the two fishes started to revolve around Feng Zhi, turning left three times, then right four times. When they turned four times, the two fishes slowly became smaller, and once again returned to the thing that looked like copper coins.
”How is it?” asked as he saw Feng Zhi open his eyes.
