When the night seemed to cover the Black Fish Island, Shen Shi and others returned to the dock on the south side of the island. When Shen Shi and Ganze got off the ship together, Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai also walked down.
Gan Ze said hello to Shen Shi and went back to the cave first. Shen Shi slowed down and waited for a moment at the roadside. When Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai came to meet them, he said to Xu Yanzhi, "Elder Martial Sister Xu, I want to ask you something."
Xu Yanzhi was a little surprised, but he nodded to Zeng Zhibai, who then left first. Xu Yanzhi turned to Shen Shi and said, "What's the matter?"
Shen Shi said: "Elder martial sister Xu, you worked in the Five Elements Hall at the beginning. Now you are here on the demon island. Now who is presiding over the Five Elements Hall? Is it still Elder Martial Brother Zhang?"
Xu Yanzhi nodded and said, "Yes, it is Elder Martial Brother Zhang Yihui who is in charge of the affairs of the Five Elements Hall now. There are no other people. You know, there are... er, there are few things in the Five Elements Hall."
Xu Yanzhi said that, but he smiled first. Shen Shi naturally understood the coldness of the Five Elements Hall, nodded and smiled. Xu Yanzhi looked at him and said, "Why, do you want to learn other five element techniques?"
Shen Shi pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, I think the Five Elements Technique seems very interesting. If you can learn more techniques, it will be a good thing to defend yourself."
Xu Yanzhi said, "Oh," and smiled, "I'm so kind. It's rare for a new brother like you to like the Five Elements Technique. I'm sure Elder Martial Brother Zhang will be happy to see you. I'll say hello to him later. You can go there yourself."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder Martial Sister Xu. Well, there's one more thing. I'd like to ask you, Elder Martial Sister."
Xu Yanzhi said, "What?"
Shen Shidao said, "I wonder if there is a way to teach runes here in the Five Elements Hall or in our school's art hall?"
Xu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to learn Rune?"
Shen Shi nods.
Xu Yanzhi pondered for a moment, and his face became more solemn. After a moment, he stared at Shen Shi and said with a straight face: "Younger martial brother Shen, as a martial cousin, I'm very happy to see that you like the Five Elements Technique. To be honest, I'm very happy, and you can't guess wrong. Although our art hall is not impressive, it has a lot of magical powers, and there is also a rune." At this point, her voice paused for a moment, then went on, saying, "But I still want to remind you that both the Five Element Method and the Talisman are profound and complicated Taoist magic powers. Many people regard it as a dangerous path, and if they want to achieve something, they must consume a lot of energy. You are still in the realm of the Qi refining realm, and it seems unwise to be greedy, don't you think?"
Shen Shi is silent, and Xu Yanzhi speaks sincerely about the temperature. Obviously, this is true. Shen Shi hesitates for a moment. After a while, he nods and says, "Thank you for your advice, Elder Martial Sister. Let me go back and think about it."
Xu Yanzhi smiled with a smile, which seemed to add a bit of charm to the night. He reached out and patted Shen Shi on the shoulder, smiling: "You are still young, and you still have a lot of time in the future. Especially if you can break through to Ningyuan, your longevity will at least double. Why worry about not practicing all kinds of Taoist magic in the future?"
Shen Shi nodded, laughing but not speaking.
※※※
In the morning of the next day, Shen Shi got up early. First, he went to the herring fair and changed the spirit material in Little Ruyi's Ring into a spirit crystal. Then, he wandered around the shops on the herring fair for a while with a thoughtful face. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned to walk towards the Five Elements Hall.
As usual, the Five Elements Hall is close to the bustling White Crane Hall, but the door of the hall is cold and desolate. When Shen Shi came here last time, he was accompanied by Sun You. Later, he met Zhong Qingzhu. But this time, there was no one around. Even if he walked to the gate of the Five Elements Hall and looked inside, he saw that the inside was also empty. The distinctive five color ground was exposed in front of him, as if it represented five strange forces.
Shen Shi stepped into the gate of the Five Elements Hall and tentatively called out, "Elder Martial Brother Zhang?"
"Huh?" A promise sounded from the depths of the Five Elements Hall. A moment later, a man came out from behind the red door of the five color stone gate. He was Zhang Yihui, the younger martial brother guarding the Five Elements Hall.
Seeing Zhang Yihui coming, Shen Shi hurriedly saluted him. Zhang Yihui gave him a slap, and his face suddenly showed some doubt. It seemed that the younger martial brother in front of him was a little familiar. He hesitated and said, "You are..."
Shen Shi said, "Younger brother Shen Shi, I came here a few days ago."
Zhang Yihui thought about it carefully and suddenly said, "Oh, I remember, you bought a water archery here, but why did you come here again? Oh, is it because you have doubts about practicing that water archery? Is it because your practice is blocked?" He smiled, waved his hand and said, "The five element method is difficult. It's really hard to practice at first, but as long as you keep practicing, you will find its beauty gradually. Well, if you have any doubts, just ask me."
Shen Shi sees that Zhang Yihui has taken charge of everything and seems to be afraid of giving up the Five Element Method. He is shocked and thinks that Elder Martial Brother Zhang is straightforward. He seems to have a sense of belonging to the art hall. He laughs and says, "Elder Martial Brother Zhang misunderstood. I came here today to buy another first-order art, and I also want to..."
"What?" In the middle of the conversation, Zhang Yihui interrupted him directly. He stared at Shen Shi with a happy face and said, "Do you want to learn another skill?"
Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes."
Zhang Yihui looked surprised and happy, and said, "Look at you. Is it possible that you like the Five Element Method? Er, I remember that last time you learned water archery, it wasn't too long. How about your cultivation?"
Shen Shi smiled and said, "I have been practicing water archery for a long time, and I have a little success. I really like it. I just have a few days to spare. I want to come and have a look. Maybe it's OK to learn another skill."
Zhang Yihui laughed and clapped his hands and said, "That's great. There is no new brother here who really likes the Five Elements Technique. After all, what do you want to learn this time?"
Shen Shiluo was a little strange. Looking at Elder Martial Brother Zhang, he thought that when he came here last time, Elder Martial Brother Zhang did not seem to have such an emotional exposure in his memory. Elder Martial Sister Xu was here that time. Most of their words were said by Xu Yanzhi. Elder Martial Brother Zhang seemed to be silent most of the time.
But maybe he was really happy when he saw that he liked the Five Elements Technique. Shen Shi didn't think about it for a moment. He said, "I just want to learn one more technique, but I don't particularly want to learn it. Maybe it's' fireball technique ', or' rock stab technique '?"
Zhang Yihui said "Oh" and looked at him. After pondering for a moment, his face turned a little happier and more thoughtful. Then he said: "Younger martial brother Shen, if you just like the Five Elements Technique, you can learn anything naturally. You don't have to force yourself. But if you want to defend yourself when you like it, I have some experience, which is different from what you think. Do you want to hear?"
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Please teach me, Elder Martial Brother Zhang."
Zhang Yihui nodded, Avenue: "The skill you have learned before is water archery, which is one of the three most common first level spells. Its power is almost equal to that of fireball and rock stab, and it is even better in the first level. In my opinion, you are just in the realm of Qi refining, and a water archery as an attack spell is enough. If you want to learn other skills, from the perspective of enhancing your own strength, I think you should learn some more rare auxiliary skills for the rest of your life Assisting spells, such as' wind agility ',' fire barrier ',' quicksand 'and' slowness', are most appropriate. "
With that, he smiled and said, "You can think of the truth for yourself. Maybe you can figure it out?"
Shen Shi frowned and thought. He stood in the Five Elements Hall and looked at the ground below. After a long silence, his eyes became brighter and brighter. After a moment, he looked up and said with a smile, "I see."
Zhang Yihui smiled with some appreciation and said, "Tell me about it."
Shen Shidao said: "Even if I learned both water archery and fireball, the most important thing is to cast the two spells in turn. It is impossible to release them at the same time. In addition, I am unlikely to encounter high-level monsters now, and the attribute of the five elements is not too obvious. So it seems that it is not meaningful for me to learn more fireball or rock stab."
Zhang Yihui nodded and said, "Yes, what else?"
Shen Shi smiled and said, "But if I knew an auxiliary skill, it would make me faster than Fengjie, and the slow skill would make the opponent slower. Although I heard that the power of the first level skill can only last for a short time, it would give me more time to cast water arrows or do other things."
Zhang Yihui laughed with his hands and said, "That's right. Although this is simple, there are not many people in the world who can understand it. Younger martial brother Shen, you really have some talent in the Five Elements Technique. Now, what do you want to learn?"
Different from Xu Yanzhi's performance last night, Zhang Yihui seems to have never thought that Shen Shi's practice in the Qi refining realm would be too much to chew, and he doesn't care if it would delay Shen Shi's practice. It seems that he is simply very happy that Shen Shi wants to learn the Five Elements Technique.
Shen Shi thought for a moment and said: "I'm still a layman in the Five Elements Technique. Elder martial brother has been indulging in this way for a long time. Can you give me some suggestions?"
Zhang Yihui listened to the words and pondered for a moment, saying: "If you want me to say something, I think you'd better choose one of 'Fire Block' or 'Retardation'. Fire Block can defend yourself, and Retardation can be used to slow down the enemy's speed, which is good in actual combat."
Shen Shi thought for a moment and said, "I'd better learn the Fire Barrier Technique."
Zhang Yihui laughed and looked very happy. He said, "Very good, that old rule, three Lingjing!"
Shen Shi smiles and takes out three Holy Crystals from his arms and hands them to Zhang Yihui. Zhang Yihui takes them over and turns around to take Shen Shi to the red stone door in the Five Elements Hall. When he hears Shen Shi's voice behind him, he says:
"Elder martial brother Zhang, if you can, I want to ask again, can you pass on my rune?"
