Volume 1 Chapter 36 The Narrow Road (Kneeling and Begging for Collection)
After the whole thing, Li Mu and the four of them were not in the mood to drink, except for Li Mu, everyone else was worried, especially Wang Yuxi, because she knew that Li Mu was retaliated against because she helped her out last time in the life and death platform, and she was not as naΓ―ve as He Wanning, thinking that Yanzhou was a harmonious place. But she is helpless, she has her last resort.
The next day, the big gift of the Poxuan Mansion, the people who received the selection all gathered in the outer hall of the Poxuan Mansion, and the upper seat was Zheng Lao, the lord of the Poxuan Mansion, and Wang Yuxi was standing beside him. Inside the hall were other disciples who divided the hall into two parts, the disciples on the left were generally older than the disciples on the right, and the first row of the left and right parts were standing several Celestial Masters.
Li Mu and Hao Qi came to this hall early, and followed He Wanning to stand in the hall on the right. Slowly, there were more and more people, and the courtyard outside the hall was also full of people.
"The hour has come, and the great gift has begun. With the announcement of the little guy, the big gift officially began. The so-called great gift is nothing more than a summary of the gains and losses of the past year, a review of major events and a vision for the new year.
"How many closed disciples does the Mansion Master have?" Hao asked with concern, he still cared more about how many senior brothers and sisters could cover him. Through Li Mu's incident yesterday, Hao Qi has already understood that if there is no one in this Yanzhou City, it is easy to be framed and killed by someone with a heart.
"I don't know how much, there are three people who are still in the Poxuan Mansion, the eldest sister entered the Poxuan Mansion with me last year, and after entering the mansion, she was accepted by the mansion master as a closed disciple. He Wanning raised her head and said proudly.
"By the way, I feel that you and your eldest sister are higher in cultivation than me, but I don't know what your cultivation is now?"
"When the eldest sister entered the mansion, it was a heavy realm of foundation building, and now it is a heavy realm of Jindan, and I can't do it, when I entered the mansion, I built a foundation triple realm, and now I have only built a foundation of nine realms. He Wanning stuck out her tongue and said, "So, third brother, the mansion master is willing to accept you as a closed disciple, so you should go, so that you can improve a lot in a year." β
Li Mu didn't answer, while Hao Qi continued to ask, "Who are the other two?"
"One is Senior Brother Ziyou, the youngest son of the Su family of the four major families in Yanzhou City, and now it seems to be the Yuanying Double Realm, and the other is called Lu Shiyao, the only son of the City Lord of Yanzhou City, Jindan Nine Realm. β
"The Four Great Families, the sons of the City Lord?" Hao Qi took a breath and said, "These people have such a big background, why don't you let them go to the Holy Spirit Mansion?"
"Of course, we're even more powerful at breaking the Xuan Mansion!" He Wanning said proudly.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, the city lords of Yanzhou City are all disciples of the Holy Spirit Mansion, and he asked his son to come to the Xuan Mansion? β
"But the head of the Su family was also a disciple of the Holy Spirit Mansion before, and his son didn't come to the Poxuan Mansion the same, third brother, you think too much. He Wanning said unconvinced.
"You also said that it is the youngest son of the Su family, I believe that several of his elder brothers are from the Holy Spirit Mansion, so it doesn't matter where he is, and the city lord has only one son, but he came to Poxuan Mansion. The corner of Li Mu's mouth showed an evil smile, "Second brother, when you meet this Lu Shiyao, be careful." β
"Next, let's start the discussion session. With Zheng Lao's words, interrupting the whispering of the three of them, "The senior apprentice will conduct actual combat training for the junior apprentice, and the senior apprentice will send one person to the field each time, and the number of junior apprentices is not limited to each fight, so as to test the actual combat practice of the senior apprentice, and at the same time judge the actual combat experience of the junior apprentice. β
Two men and one woman jumped out of the hall on the left, and when the three of them stood still, Li Mu and Hao Qi were suddenly shocked, and Hao Qi trembled and said, "This girl turned out to be our senior sister." β
"Ahem, yes, the three of us are really destined!" Li Mu smiled helplessly.
"Oh, do you know Senior Sister Peng?" He Wanning asked when she heard the cat.
"It's considered an acquaintance, at the border of Yanzhou City, I, my second brother and this Senior Sister Peng were plotted together, and then she may have misunderstood, thinking that we were plotting against her, so ......" Li Mu really didn't expect that the world would be so small.
"Oh, that's it, don't worry, this kind of exchange is voluntary, even if she wants to fight with you at that time, you don't agree. He Wanning comforted.
"Well, that's it, third brother, we just don't agree. Hao Qi turned his head to look and found Peng Miyao's terrifying eyes, a feeling of wanting to peel the skin and bone, "Don't look at her, don't look at her......" said and turned his head.
He Wanning looked at Senior Sister Peng and then at Li Mu, and said in her heart, what a lot of hatred this is!
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Li Mu also found that this Senior Sister Peng had noticed this, and there was a faint anger in her eyes, and there was a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu in her eyes, "Her surname is Peng, what is the relationship between her surname and that Peng Hao?"
He Wanning suddenly reacted and said, "It's over, Senior Sister Peng is the cousin of Peng Hao's kid, but Peng Hao is a concubine, and Senior Sister Peng is a concubine." β
"It's over, it's over, it's all a family. Hao was even more at a loss.
"I hope it's not what I thought, otherwise ......" Li Mu laughed fiercely.
"Below. Zheng Lao spoke again, "But anyone dares to come up and challenge?"
After waiting for a long time, the crows were silent, Peng Miyao may have been impatient to wait, and said, "Lord Mansion, I have someone I want to challenge." β
"Mi Yao, you are an elite disciple among the senior apprentices, so it's a bit inappropriate to challenge the junior apprentices. Chu Yuanbai, the teacher standing on the left, said.
Peng Miyao didn't pay attention to Chu Yuanbai, but continued, "I hope that Zheng Lao will be perfect!"
"I don't know who you want to challenge?" asked Elder Zheng kindly.
"It's the two of them!" Peng Miyao raised her hand and pointed at Li Mu and Hao Qi impartially.
"I@#Β₯%......" Hao Qi wanted to explode at the moment, it was really evil, he didn't want to come to anything, so he turned his head and said, "Third brother, what should I do?"
"If you don't agree, it's fine!" Although Li Mu said that he felt that he might be able to avoid this exchange if he didn't agree, he always felt strange in his heart.
As soon as Zheng Lao saw this posture, he knew that there must be a story in it, so he asked, "Do you two dare to fight?"
Chu Yuanbai was also a little unexpected, he and Peng Miyao were a little bit uneasy, he felt that this little girl was pampered, although she had good talent, but it was difficult to become a big thing, but he also couldn't get used to Li Mu's arrogance, so he said smoothly, "Are you sure? These two are the two people with the best results in this selection, I'm afraid you are not an opponent." β
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Hao Wei really greeted the eighteenth generation of Chu Yuanbai's ancestor in his heart, he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but this posture is estimated to be difficult.
"It seems that this Chu Tianshi is quite vindictive, so let's play with you. Li Mu smiled and said to himself, pulling Hao Qi, who wanted to refuse, and said, "Mansion Master, I am willing to accept the challenge, but I don't need my second brother to appear, I am enough alone." β
Everyone didn't react after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, the hall burst into laughter.
"I heard you right, this kid challenged Senior Sister Peng alone?
"This man is crazy. β
"He seems to be the one who threatens to injure Chu Tianshi. β
......
Before everyone's laughter stopped, Li Mu jumped up and came to Peng Miyao, and said, "Senior Sister Peng, meet again." β
"You ......!" Originally, Peng Miyao wanted to say: You are a prodigal son! But I was afraid that as soon as these words came out, the explanation work behind would be too troublesome, so she changed the word and said, "You stinky boy!
As soon as the words landed, Peng Miyao took out a soft sword from her arms and stabbed at Li Mu. Li Mu's expression was not a little panicked, but he firmly clamped the soft sword with two fingers, and just as he was about to speak, Li Mu felt the difference of this soft sword, shook off the soft sword vigorously, took two steps back, and said, "Senior sister is so anxious, it's not good, junior brother, I'm not ready yet." β
"Hmph, then you prepare quickly, I'll kill you when you're ready!" Peng Miyao shook the sword flower and said angrily.
Li Mu touched the ring with his right hand, and a slender knife appeared in his hand, it was the Zhan Xuan Dao, and he smiled evilly, "It seems that I have to explain the events of that day to my senior sister in private." He said it like this, and everyone began to understand Suosuo's discussion.
"Privately? This kid still has a relationship with this female devil in private?"
"Well, I heard that day, they must have seen it before!"
"Ha, I guess there's an unspeakable story!"
......
"Little sister, why do the senior brothers and sisters on the other side want to call Senior Sister Peng's female devil?" Hao asked suspiciously.
"Because. He Wanning said with some embarrassment, "Because Senior Sister Peng's popularity is not very good, she is very talented herself, so she will be a character who cannot be approached in the eyes of everyone, and she treats her senior brother and sister a little roughly." He Wanning had already tried her best to speak in a tactful tone.
"Rough? I think it's more than rough, little sister, just tell me honestly?"
"Well, just say it, you have to know sooner or later anyway. He Wanning sighed and said, "Originally, it was not allowed to fight between disciples in the academy, whether it was inside or outside the mansion,...... He Wanning told Hao Gao about the history of Peng Miyao.
To put it simply, Peng Miyao has a good appearance and high talent, and once threatened not to rely on any man in this life, including her father, so her father originally arranged for her to go to the Holy Spirit Mansion, but in order to prove that she could choose her own path, Peng Miyao secretly came to Poxuan Mansion, and after entering the mansion, she did not get the favor of the mansion master, but got the favor of Chu Yuanbai, and wanted to accept her as a closed disciple, Peng Miyao only threw down the sentence "Not the best, I would rather not!" and refused. Later, there were many senior brothers who pursued flirtation, and the way she rejected people was to go to the stage of life and death, many senior brothers took pity on the jade, and there was no ruthlessness on the stage of life and death, or it may be that they coveted the strength of her Peng family, and the final outcome of these senior brothers was either beaten to death, or they were disabled and could not practice, and the senior sisters were very dissatisfied with her behavior, so they jointly wrote a letter and asked Po Xuan Mansion to expel her out, and then these joint senior sisters also disappeared inexplicably, and they did not know where to go, and Po Xuan Mansion was hindered by the strong strength of the Peng family, so she could only acquiesce to her various actions.
"I'm a good girl!" Hao looked at Li Mu's back with a trembling liver, "That third brother is not very dangerous. β
"Alas...... Although the life and death platform is a place to solve personal grievances, there is nothing wrong with Po Xuanfu, I just feel that this Senior Sister Peng is too tough, but second brother, don't worry, the third brother said that he can do it alone, so he can definitely do it, let's not go up and make trouble. He Wanning said soothingly.
......
Back between Li Mu and Peng Miyao.
"Senior Sister Peng, I'm ready, come on. Li Mu looked at the soft sword in Peng Miyao's hand and said.
"Drink!" Without any nonsense, Peng Miyao raised his sword, and a sword flower mixed with spiritual power stabbed at Li Mu, Li Mu moved his head to the side without panic, and easily dodged the sword. Peng Miyao's first move was unsuccessful, and he forced Li Mu back with the next splitting sword, took a step back, stood with two fingers in his left hand on his chest, and held the sword rungs in his right hand in front of his left hand, and said in his mouth, "Dao Fa, burn the sword!" A layer of crimson flames immediately attached to the soft sword. This flame is not as ethereal as an ordinary flame, but like a sharp sword, it wraps the entire soft sword and faintly turns into a sword shape.
