0029_ Picked up an egg

I found an egg, and it was at the door of my house.To be honest, this is a very strange thing, how strange is it? Let me talk about the structure of Yunxia Sect first.

As the number one sect in the cultivation world, Yunxia Sect is definitely not small in scale, and naturally there are many professional settings in it.In fact, among the top ten sects, there is no single occupation.Even though it started with elixir, it has always followed the elixir-based medicine school, and it is not weak in refining weapons, controlling beasts, and formations.

Jianzong is the closest to a single profession among the sects. Like Yaozong, such a simple name is really useless without enough domineering background.

After all, elixir is an auxiliary. Although everyone needs it, it is a foreign thing. Medicine sects that rely on foreign things are sometimes controlled by others because of their limited strength. That's right, but there are also many people who hate looking at people's faces, so they specifically fight against them. The development of other professions is not so much a demand for the Medicine Sect, as it is to increase their cards.

Jianzong is different. Jianxiu has been the most domineering group of monks since ancient times, not one of them.They are also the most focused group, one person with one sword, fearless and fearless.Many sword cultivators are as cold and hard as the swords in their hands. If Jianzong has maintained the model of pure sword cultivating, everyone can understand it. After all, sword cultivators are such inflexible guys.

But in fact, Jianzong did not become the only one, they are also unique in the formation, and they are very strange... Uh, it's a bit strange, their planting industry is also developing very well...

Cough, back to Yunxiazong.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that Yunxiazong has limited background.Clouds and clouds, it sounds beautiful, but it also makes people wonder what it is for.Why take such a far-fetched name?Because of the medicine sect and sword sect's way of naming their professions directly, Yunxia sect was short of breath when it established the sect.

Well, that's already a black history a long time ago, let's not mention it, let's talk about the present.Although the world of comprehension and the world of mortals have only one planet in total, this planet is extremely huge, and there are so many third-rate sects that occupy a hill at every turn—not the kind of hills of small soil bags—the three top sects are even more powerful. Occupying an entire continent—definitely not a small area like Oceania—the Yunxia Sect is one level behind the top sect, occupying only a mountain.

The monks of different occupations of Yunxiazong lived on different mountains.For monks of the same profession, they can leave the original big mountain after accepting disciples in the Nascent Soul stage, and have a small mountain by themselves.

The main peak slightly to the south of the center is the most majestic. All important events are held there, and people from other sects are mainly received there. There are also mission offices, logistics offices, and enrollment offices, etc. set up on the main peak.The main peak does not belong to any profession, oh, the master lives there.

The hills in the north direction belong to the sword cultivators, and they are collectively called Yunrui Peak. My father is on one of these hills, and of course, I am also on his hill.These mountain peaks are the largest area in the entire Yunxia Sect, and they are also the ones with the most difficult conditions.Rocks, rocks, rocks all over the hills... oh, and snow.It is said that it can hone the will of the sword repairer.All I know is that I have to grow my own fruit for every bite I want.

Due east is Yunnuan Peak, which belongs to Danxiu; due west, Yunxiang Peak belongs to Qixiu; due south, Yunrou Peak belongs to Beast Control; northwest Yunjue Peak belongs to Faxiu; southeast Yunsheng Peak belongs to Planting; northeast Yunshi Peak Returning to Fuxiu, there is also a small secret place in the northeast for the disciples to practice in actual combat; Yunyuan Peak in the southwest is a hunting ground reserved for the original ecology, and it is also the actual combat training ground for the disciples.

There are only two places where eggs are most likely to appear in the whole Yunxia Sect: the artificially raised ones are in the south direction; the wild ones are in the southwest direction.

I live in True North.

So, why is there an egg in front of my door?

My father only said: "I didn't send it."

That's even more strange, there are four of us living in this entire mountain, the twins are still out, I haven't brought eggs back - I haven't left this mountain at all in the past few months - neither has my father. Take the blame, then...

Come on, little egg, tell me, where did you come from?

0030_What kind of egg is this

Leaving aside the strange creatures like the cuckoo, as far as I know in my previous life, it is not a very advanced skill to identify an egg by its shell and know what will hatch inside the egg. Of course, I am referring to common animals. Eggs, rare and extinct animals are another matter.

But in this life, the connotation of eggs is a bit deeper.There may be birds, fish, and mammals that I think should be viviparous, including cats, cats, dogs, jackals, tigers, and leopards...

What's even more strange is that these beasts do have viviparous, whether in the mortal world or the cultivation world, but they may also give birth to eggs.For example, a fox can directly give birth to a fox cub in this litter, and a fox egg in the next litter.

The field of self-cultivation has researched on this.

"Ordinary beasts have no choice, they can only be born as God has set for them," my sister said, "but spirit beasts are different. When the mother's body is not suitable for carrying a child forever, they will use spiritual power to build an egg to be born." Pretend to be a child, and put your own inheritance into the egg, and when the child breaks out of the shell and eats the eggshell, they will not only be stronger than the newly born viviparous child, but also be filled with knowledge in a force-feeding manner."

When I talked about this topic, I had just lived in the realm of comprehension for seven years, and I had just gone to Yushou Peak—officially known as Yunrou Peak—to gain insight: "So, female cultivators can also lay eggs?"

My sister smiled: "Male cultivators can also lay eggs. Second brother, do you want to give birth?"

How dare you say that in the face of a seven-year-old?Even if I add my age in the previous life, it is only a fraction of your age, how can you be so disregarding your young heart?

With a curiosity-seeking mentality, I went to Yushoufeng to borrow some of their introductory textbooks. The elders of Yushoufeng were happy to think that I would give up my sword and follow the beast-my wood spirit root is still very popular with most spirit beasts Well, ice spirit root, some special spirit beasts also like it.

Speaking of which, when I was seven years old, I did not definitely choose the path of sword cultivation, and even now I am not completely sure.Even though I have been trained by my father every day as a swordsman since I was able to walk, but my father also said that I am not in a hurry to make sure before building a foundation. I can try every profession and choose the most suitable one.Don't worry, if this choice is wrong, it will not be easy to change it after the foundation is established, and it will be more difficult to change it later, because once you want to change it, it will basically be overturned and restarted.

Don't even think about cultivating multiple professions. Although there is no rule that it must not be done, just as the modern five spiritual roots are far inferior to a single spiritual root, multi-professional practitioners also involve resources and energy issues.There are not so many resources to squander, and no one has the energy to juggle multiple careers in a tight environment.

Modern times are not ancient times, when it was easy to practice, people could hold multiple jobs depending on their mood, but now one job is enough to make people exhausted and worry about pennies and pennies, and part-time jobs, are you afraid that you are not working hard enough?

Oh, and back to that egg.My father is a sword cultivator. As we all know, sword cultivators are quite pure, or in other words, they are quite stubborn. They have limited knowledge of knowledge other than swords. Many sword cultivators even lack common sense. Xiu... his common sense is not bad, probably because he lived long enough, was decadent and neglected his job for a while when he was young, so at least he can tell the truth about this egg, such as:

"This is a spirit beast egg."

"And then?" I asked, "What kind of egg is it?"

My father: "You'll know when it hatches."

Great insight, but why would I hatch eggs?

My father: "Of course you can send it to Yu Beast Peak, but monks are very particular about fate. I can guarantee that no outsiders have come here these days, so if this egg appears in front of your door, someone gave it to you. It came by itself. It chose you."

Let’s not mention how the eggs rolled up the mountain, or which stupid beast insisted on laying eggs among the bare stones, and didn’t care about hatching, and just ran away after laying, the point is, how did the eggs appear in front of my father do not you know?What about your insight in the transformation period?

My dad: "Who's going to look into something that's not threatening? Have you ever noticed ants crawling into your house?"

I made trouble: "You need to pay attention to it? There must be no." How about we live on the top of the mountain, except for stones, there is snow, not to mention that my ice root has a sense of presence every day, my house is like a freezer, what ants are so Where are you going to climb?

My father: "Yes, what kind of stupid beast would come here to lay eggs in this place? If you are in a hurry to know, go to Yushou Peak and ask."

So it's because you don't know, you really shouldn't expect too much from the knowledge of the sword cultivator.

0031_You have to be dumbfounded when you look at the album

I have always insisted that memory and IQ are two different things, and this time it proved my opinion again. I used to be on Yushou Peak... I'm used to using occupation as the name of the mountain. Although I have no problem, I doubt it How many people in Quanyun Xiazong can accurately name the official names of all peaks.At least I know that the last time the senior elder brother took guests to visit the sect, he went to Zangshu Pavilion to recite all the official names of the sect.For example, the admissions office is called the 'Trial Project Preparation Office', and it's not just for selecting new students.

When I was taking a class at Yushou Peak, the elder Liu Jie who taught the class opened the back door and showed me a picture book.

...What are you thinking?It's not that kind of picture book, it's a serious book.It is a collection of pictures of various spirit beasts and spirit beast eggs.Elder Liu said:

"This album has a lot of background, purely hand-painted, look at it, it's so realistic, so delicate, and it's moderately exaggerated to highlight the characteristics of spirit beasts. Mr. Hua Xiao is really a role model for me as a beast master, although the fate of spirit beasts is a bit bleak A little bit. Alas, the fate of a confidante is unlucky."

A beast master has no relationship with beasts, can this be described as mere bleakness?The Yunxia Sect is also quite unique.Also, what about a confidante?I touched my face, feeling sad, and flipped through the pages of the album.

"Hehehe, little guy, please read carefully," Elder Liu said distressedly, "This is a treasure, a treasure, and I don't allow ordinary people to see it. You should treat every painting with an attitude of worship and remember every aspect of it. One stroke at a time, until I can imitate the painting."

I can't draw it, but I must remember every stroke and every stroke, but I won't say it because I don't want to scare you.Let's talk about something else: "Can I take it home and watch it?"

Elder Liu resolutely vetoed it.

So I had no choice but to flip through the picture book from beginning to end on the Beast Control Peak under Elder Liu's eyes. It took me a whole day to flip through it at my speed, although there was Elder Liu who kept telling me to slow down. , but I must also marvel at that Mr. Hua Xiao can really draw, and spend all his time on painting, resulting in a miserable career in beast control?

In any case, Senior Hua's picture book is really rich in content, relying on this book, my knowledge of spirit beasts is quite capable of bluffing people.But obviously, it's just a superficial bluff.When I couldn't match the spirit beast eggs I picked up with any of the examples in the atlas, I couldn't guess.

If it were an experienced animal trainer, he might be able to speculate based on theoretical knowledge. For example, there may be an egg with a larger head and a white color, or a smaller head with a yellowish color, but the varieties are the same.I can't do this kind of classification, I can only directly compare the eggs with the legend, I will meet the same ones, and if there are slight differences, I will be inaccurate.

In the past, Elder Liu found out that I judged spirit beasts purely by memory, and didn't care about the individual differences between spirit beasts, so he couldn't help but say that I am indestructible, and he never admitted that he once wanted to kidnap me. Beast Peak, but changed his words and said that my brain is only suitable for being a sword repairer.

Me: Sword repair is sword repair, sword repair is very good, and the force value is the first among the same level.
