Irin went forward to take a look.
He realized that the game was already over.
He silently went forward and carefully tidied up each chess piece. The black and white pieces were clearly distinguished and placed in the bowls in front of the two men.
Irin took about ten minutes to complete the entire set of actions.
Gong Yanghei sighed softly and threw the black chess piece in his hand into the bowl beside him.
Gong Yangbai did the same.
From beginning to end, the two of them silently watched Yi Lin pack up the chess pieces. It was only when Yi Lin was done that the two of them spoke at the same time.
"You want to go to Circumference Mountain?"
Irin nodded.
"Unfortunately."
"Unfortunately."
At this moment.
Irin did not reply.
A crane with snow-white wings circled in the air and landed outside the door.
The crane lowered its head and stroked its hair coquettishly, as if waiting for something.
Yi Lin didn't expect that the two elders would silently call out to him in advance even though they didn't say anything.
Irin turned around and cupped his fists at Gong Yanghei and Gong Yangbai. "I just want to see the wonders of formations."
"Go."
"Come back often."
Gong Yanghei and Gong Yangbai moved in unison and waved their hands impatiently.
Irin turned around and walked out of the door.
Just as he stepped over the threshold, Gong Yangbai suddenly asked,
"Who did you drink with last night?"
The two of them had the same thought. Gong Yanghei also asked, "Who was it?"
Irin hesitated for a moment. He thought of Chen Bei from the odd-job class. In the end, he did not say anything. He mounted the crane and flew away.
Behind him, the sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard could be heard.
Come back?
Of course, he would come back.
Irin remembered the promise he made with Chen Bei when he was slightly drunk last night.
…
The crane flew and flew.
It floated and floated.
When the crane flapped its wings, it blew on the fine hair on Irin's face, making Irin itch.
Every crane seemed to have a fixed flight path.
It was really similar to a bus.
Groups of cranes came and went in the air, but none of them crashed into each other.
Irin rode the crane and crossed the sky above the floating island.
Many cultivators passing by saw Irin's attire and secretly pointed at her.
Irin was still wearing the robe of a registered disciple, and there was still the token of a registered disciple on her waist.
It was reasonable to say that nominal disciples had no right to ride the public red-crowned crane, but he did, and sat quite comfortably, so he attracted a lot of attention from his fellow disciples.
Cultivating Daoist techniques seemed to have the effect of prolonging one's life. In short, at a glance, the Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers in the sect were as beautiful as flowers and the men were handsome and confident. Who knew how old the grandpa and grandma behind this skin bag were?
Thinking of this, Irin secretly thought that the world of cultivators was really dangerous. In the past, when looking for a partner, one had to remove their makeup. When looking for a partner in the world of cultivators, other than peeling off their skin, there seemed to be no way to confirm a person's age. This was really terrifying.
While his thoughts were running wild, Irin flew over the mountains and neared Circumference Mountain.
Irin remembered that bastard Jian Nanchun said that there were terrifying restrictions set up outside Circumference Mountain. If he flew randomly, he might be attacked by anti-air nuclear missiles, but riding the crane was safe.
From the naked eye, there was nothing strange about Circumference Mountain at all. There were many cultivators in the Heavenly Sword Sect, so Irin did not dare to use psychokinesis to sense the restrictions in front of him.
In the end, psychokinesis was also a manifestation of mental strength, and spiritual awareness was also another application of mental strength. There were similarities between the two. If he rashly used psychokinesis to sense, it would be easy for the old guys in the sect to sense that there was something wrong with him, and it would cause unforeseen circumstances.
In the distance, the floating mountain in the air faintly emitted a strange aura.
This aura made Irin have goosebumps all over his body. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the mountain with his naked eye. The silhouette of the mountain gradually distorted in Irin's eyes. But when Irin blinked again, the distortion disappeared.
"Interesting."
Irin nodded secretly. Although he did not show any expression on his face, he was excited in his heart. He slapped the crane's butt and shouted, "Brother Bird, speed up!"
"Chirp chirp chirp —"
After being slapped by Irin, the crane suddenly spasmed and let out a trembling cry. At the same time, it spat out a few mouthfuls of white saliva … as if it was extremely scared. Then … Brother Crane really started to speed up.
The closer he got to Circumference Mountain, the more distorted the scenery, light, and trees became. Irin felt as if he was in an invisible maze. After his mind was in a trance, he realized that he had arrived.
The red-crowned crane trembled, as if it was afraid that Yi Lin would kill it. Caught off guard, it threw Yi Lin to the ground, and with a speed faster than when it came, it disappeared without a trace.
"Hiss …"
Irin did not dare to use any strange abilities and could only let the crane throw him to the ground. Irin rubbed his sore butt and shouted towards the direction where the crane left, "I'll eat you sooner or later!"
Crane: ̄ (̄ ﹏ ̄) ̄
…
Circumference Mountain. This name made Irin feel very close to it.
Irin walked on the bluestone path up the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there was another courtyard.
The decoration style of the courtyard was slightly different from that of the Preaching Garden.
There were no flowers or plants in this courtyard. Instead, there were many rugged and strange rocks piled up in the surroundings.
There was a sense of pretentiousness in the coldness, making people unable to guess or understand it.
At first glance, it was rocks. Then, it looked like a rugged mountain peak or a ferocious monster. It made people shudder.
Outside the courtyard, there was a small pond.
In the pond, a small water wheel turned on its own and splashed water everywhere.
The courtyard was very spacious.
At a glance, it occupied more than a thousand square meters.
But at this moment, the courtyard was slightly crowded.
Because it was filled with people.
Disciples wearing different attire were waiting patiently in the courtyard.
Some of them would stuff a pill into their mouth from time to time. It was a "food pill" that was used to fast and fill their stomachs.
When Irin walked closer, his clothes rubbed against each other. Only then did he remember that he had a hangover and was sweating all over. He had not washed up and his whole body was sticky.
So he glanced inside and saw that the others were waiting. So he walked to the edge of the pond outside and pulled out his wide belt, exposing his upper body. Humming a little tune, he dipped the water in the pond and used the belt as a towel, happily rubbing his back.
The clear pond water became a little murky because Irin was rubbing his back. But this was not a problem.
After tidying up, Irin returned to the courtyard and saw that the others were still waiting.
He looked around and searched for a while … Oh, he really found an acquaintance.
Irin walked forward and looked at the broad back. He smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and sat down beside him.
"Ah! It's you! "
The other party was stunned.
That person was the one mentioned before. He had stayed in the odd-job class for ten years before finally ending his odd-job life. Yi Lin never expected that the two of them would meet here.
They did not know each other well when they were in the handyman class. What was his name again …? Irin thought for a while and quickly remembered the other party's name.
His surname was Zhong, and his name was Lin … Zhong Lin.
"Old Zhong, why are there so many people here?"
According to his biological age, there was nothing wrong with Yi Lin calling him Old Zhong.
Old Zhong's life in the handyman class was almost as old as Irin.
Who didn't know how to pretend to be young?
Zhong Lin stared at Irin who was acting so familiar with him. His lips opened and closed … Countless questions popped up in his mind.
How did this guy come out?
Didn't he just go in for half a year?
How did he come out?
How could it be?
This was impossible!
Many questions circled in Zhong Lin's mind. But after a long time, he finally swallowed all the questions back into his stomach. His eyes were slightly dull as he replied, "You don't know? A month ago, the elder in charge of the formation said that he wanted to recruit ten inner disciples. These people are all here because of the elder in charge of the formation. "
"A month ago?" Irin was stunned, "So you … no, these hundreds of people have been sitting here for a month?"
"It's just a month." Zhong Lin shook his head. He finally recovered from the shock of Irin coming out after half a year. His eyes were filled with determination as he gritted his teeth and said, "If I have the chance to enter the inner sect in this life, let alone a month, even if it's a year or ten years, why not wait?"
This guy had a bright future!
Irin secretly praised Zhong Lin's great perseverance. No wonder he could do handyman work for ten years without any complaints. It turned out that he was the kind of person who had no regrets even if he died.
The courtyard was quiet except for the occasional soft conversation.
After explaining to Irin why there were so many people here, Zhong Lin closed his eyes and did not speak anymore. He had been sitting here for a month, but he was still enduring.
Irin did not have such perseverance. Circumference Mountain was not small. When he got tired of sitting, he went out to pick mushrooms and wild fruits on the mountain. When it was dark, he secretly made a fire and cooked them before eating.
These wild vegetables and mushrooms were not to be underestimated. They were grown by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and were very nourishing. Irin ate them and even tasted them. Later, he changed to steaming, boiling, roasting, stewing, and other cooking methods. This gave Irin a different taste.
During the day, Irin returned to the courtyard and took out a nameless piece of wood. He took out a carpenter's carving knife and carefully carved on the cylindrical piece of wood.
He actually did not want to carve anything. It was just that as a carpenter, he was used to killing time in this way. At the same time, he looked for inspiration to see if he could make something new … For example, a grenade that could explode into a "heart" firework or something.
And so,
Irin stayed in Circumference Mountain.
He waited for seven days.
