"My name is Xu Yanzhi, and this elder martial brother's name is Zhang Yihui. He is a disciple of the Arts Hall who lives in the Five Elements Hall on the Green Fish Island. He should be your elder martial sister and elder martial brother. You can come often if you still need to."
Collected nine Lingjing from three younger martial brothers and sisters. The pretty and sweet elder martial sister was very happy. She seemed to have no airs. She gently introduced the rules of the Five Elements Hall to them. At the same time, the elder martial brother Zhang went to the red, yellow and white gates of the Five Elements Hall alone. He went in and came out to work for a while, but he didn't know what he was doing.
At the other end, Xu Yanzhi was telling the three of them: "Later, you three will each enter the Fire, Water and Earth Gates. Senior Brother Zhang has arranged inside. You can get the magic formula you bought when you go in, but you can't take it away. You need to recite it and remember it, and then go back to practice it yourself. Hmm..." She thought for a while and said, "Well, if your family name is not very good, you can come back to me at any time, and then go in to read and recite. Anyway, you can't take the Dharma Jue away."
Shen Shi and the other three agreed.
Xu Yanzhi paused for a moment, and for the first time, there was a sense of seriousness in his gentle expression. He said, "In addition, there is a strict sect rule in Lingxiao Sect, which you must know. No matter where you learn the Taoist magic, no matter who teaches it, you should not privately teach it to your peers or outsiders. Violators will be severely punished by the sect rules, you understand."
Shen Shi and others nodded and said, "Yes." From the day when they began to learn this sect rule, the original Senior Brother Suhe, including Ling Xiao, had clearly written it, and they knew it well.
Zhang Yihui has come back after a short time of kung fu. He nods to Xu Yanzhi. Compared with this eloquent elder martial sister, this elder martial brother Zhang doesn't seem to talk much. From the beginning to now, he seems to have only spoken to Xu Yanzhi, but not to Shen Shi and other three people.
Xu Yanzhi looked back and said with a smile, "Well, Elder Martial Brother Zhang is ready. Go separately."
Shen Shi and others saluted and thanked each other, and then went to the three different gates. Shen Shi chose the water archery, which is a very common attack magic of the water system. Naturally, the white gate representing the water system went.
When he pushed the door in, Shen Shi felt a cool feeling from the white stone door, as if he really felt the sea water. After stepping into the door, the white stone door slowly closed behind him, and the entrance was a stone chamber with a radius of about half an mu. Except for the direction he came in, more than a dozen identical square holes were chiseled on the other three walls. There was a jade box inside, and a pale yellow halo hung around the hole to seal the hole, which seemed to be a means of protection and prohibition.
In the middle of the stone room, there was a small black wooden table, and two futons on both sides were placed on the ground. Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, went to sit down on one of the futons, put his hands on the small table at random, looked around curiously, and wondered if it was the Five Elements Technique that was stored in these little jade boxes?
A moment later, a strange light voice echoed in the stone chamber, as if someone was singing in the distance, and as if the spring wind was blowing over the water. The light yellow aura lit up for a few minutes at the same time. After a while, the light yellow aura outside the first hole in the bottom row of the opposite wall suddenly disappeared, and the jade chest in the hole seemed to be held by an invisible hand, flying up in the air, He landed safely in front of Shen Shi.
The sound in the stone chamber soon disappeared, and everything was calm. Shen Shi's eyes fell on the jade box on the small table, and then carefully opened it. A palm sized jade slip was quietly parked in the box, with three words written on the top cover:
Water Archery.

Half an hour later, after thanking and saying goodbye to Xu Yanzhi and Zhang Yihui, the two elder martial sisters of the art school, the three people met again outside the Five Elements Hall.
"All right?" Sun You asked first.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu both nodded. Sun You said with a smile, "That's good, Shen Shi. Let's compete with who can practice this skill first, and then we can go to the demon catching cave together."
Shen Shi nodded and said, "OK, where are you going now?"
Sun You said, "I have to go to the zoo again. I won't say much. I'm leaving now." He said hello and walked away quickly. Shen Shi looked back at Zhong Qingzhu and said with a smile, "Where are you going?"
Zhong Qingzhu said, "I also want to go back to the array hall. What about you?"
Shen Shi thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go to Hongbeng Village again. Although the old man is black hearted, he can earn a little. After I learn water archery, I can go to the demon catching cave to do the demon catching task. Then I'll see if there are other things that can better earn Lingjing."
Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment and said, "Master Shen... Stone, if you really lack Holy Crystal in your cultivation, I still have some..."
Shen Shi waved his hand and smiled, saying, "It was all the nonsense of Sun You. It's not the point where you can't cultivate Lingjing."
Zhong Qingzhu stared at him quietly with soft eyes. After a while, she nodded and said, "Look for yourself. If you are really short of money, you must remember to tell me that after all, I am..." She paused and said quietly, "After all, I am at the array hall. The task reward Lingjing is good. In addition, Pingyue will also take other tasks, so Lingjing is relatively comfortable."
Shen Shi smiled: "Those are the Holy Crystals you earned by hard work. What do I take from you? Well, it's OK. It's OK. I've come up with my own way. After I go to the Devil Hunting Cave to fight with the Holy Spirit, I can earn more than ten or twenty Holy Crystals for you to see. Maybe you will borrow money from me at that time. Don't forget that the Holy Materials consumed by the array are huge when converted into Holy Crystals."
Zhong Qingzhu stared at him for a moment, then smiled, as bright and charming as summer flowers, and said: "Good."

After saying goodbye to Zhong Qingzhu outside the Five Elements Hall, Shen Shi goes to Hongbeng Village. In the past three years, he has not taken over other tasks in the White Crane Hall, but although there are many tasks on the whiteboard, the ones that are stable, easy to do and highly rewarding are actually the fixed ones. Without exception, all of them have been filled early, and naturally most of them are children of aristocratic families.
Shen Shi has no background and no access, so it is difficult to receive such a steady and easy deed. Sun You told him privately to help him find one, but such a good task is in short supply and fierce competition. He wants to take a place from the children of those aristocratic families, and he doesn't know how much it will take to pay. So after careful consideration, Shen Shi politely declined Sun You.
So in the past three years, Shen Shi's longest task was to peel shrimp in Hongbeng Village, which was not on the white board of the White Crane Hall.
All the way to Hongbeng Village, I saw the beautiful and slim figure standing at the village gate from a distance. Needless to say, it was the starfish of the Hongbeng family.
Over the past three years, starfish seems to have grown up and become more beautiful, but the most prominent thing is the red clam shell on her body. As she grows older, the color becomes more bright and beautiful.
Shen Shi has worked in the Red Beng Village for three years, and now he knows more about the Red Beng people than others on the island. He knows that in the eyes of the Red Beng people, the redder and brighter the shell is, the more beautiful it is. In other words, starfish can now be regarded as the little beauty in the Red Beng Village.
Approaching the village entrance, Shen Shi smiled and waved to the starfish, who also smiled. At the same time, several men, women, old and young passed by in Hongbeng Village. They all laughed at the sight, and some people also said loudly:
"Ouch, the starfish's children are coming again!"
Shen Shi was stunned, but the starfish spat, ignoring the narrow smiles of the aunts and aunts, and ran to the beach outside the village.
The sea breeze blew their skirts, the sky was clear and the sun was shining gently, and the blue water was splashing on the white beach.
In the distance, several pointed canoes are sailing towards the open sea. Shen Shi has been here for three years to peel shrimps. He knows almost everything in Hongbeng Village. At a glance, he recognized that it was the fishing boat of the Hongbeng people. He was stunned and said, "Eh, I remember today is not the day to go fishing. Why do you go fishing in your village?"
The starfish also looked into the distance and said, "Because the harvest has not been good recently. My grandfather said, I don't know why. Now there are not only ghost face shrimp, but also a lot of other kinds of fish in the sea. Every time I go fishing, the harvest is almost half of the original, or even less. So I have to go fishing several times." With that, the starfish suddenly clenched his hands at the blue sea and put them in his heart, showing some sincere respect on his face, and whispered, "I hope the sea god will bless your uncles and uncles to return safely."
Shen Shi stood beside her and gazed at the vast sea in front of her. The sea was calm and gentle. Looking only at the scene, who would have thought that three years ago, the same sea in front of her had erupted with strange and terrible energy. The fierce and violent storm made people tremble.
As for the sea god in the mouth of the starfish... Shen Shi silently curled his mouth. He has been the most Terran disciples in and out of Hongbeng Village in the past three years. He comes here almost every day. Of course, he is familiar with the statue of the sea god enshrined on the altar in the village.
When I first saw the statue, I thought it was strange and looked like a strange sea animal. Later, I overheard senior brother Wang Gen, who knew a lot, mention that the sea god worshipped by the red clam family was actually a giant sea animal 'pig headed dragon' in the deep sea.
According to Elder Martial Brother Wang Gen, although there is a dragon character for this huge sea animal, the pig headed dragon has nothing to do with the famous dragon family that has disappeared since ancient times. At most, it is huge and in the deep sea. It is mistaken for the sea dragon family when it appears occasionally.
The pig headed dragon, whose surname is Zi, is cruel and bloodthirsty, and is the overlord in the deep ocean. No one can tell why the red mussels will regard it as their god. But if we really want to say what will be blessed by praying to the pig headed dragon, Shen Shi naturally does not believe it.
"Even if the pig headed dragon sensed the prayer, let alone bless the peace, as long as it does not come to eat your people, it will burn high incense!"
Shen Shi secretly thought about this. He turned to look at the starfish and saw that the girl's face was devout, as if she was still telling the "sea god" what she wanted.
