At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, there is a lock dragon array.

It was created by the first dean of the Buzhou Academy that year to imprison a giant dragon.

However, dragons and other creatures have not appeared in the world for a long time.

Since the advent of the Wasteland, many of the original holy beasts in this world have been hunted by the source beasts, and it is difficult to see them again.

And after the arrival of the desolate source, many saints once gathered in the Lock Dragon Array and transformed the formation.

What is its real purpose, it cannot be verified, and the most credible statement at present is to select outstanding talents.

There is also a low-credibility statement that this array is waiting for someone.

And the students who did not sign up for the academy, who had cultivated below the spiritual realm or who were older than twenty years old, could not enter this formation.

After entering the array, everyone will encounter thirteen stone tablets, which are thirteen array gates, and then enter the gate, they will be in a fantasy world.

Based on the student's performance in the illusion, the college will evaluate the student's qualifications.

However, everyone sees different illusions, and most of them are very mild, just making some choices that need to be thought about.

And a very small number of people with excellent qualifications will see a more intense and dangerous illusion.

When Qin Que arrived, he thought that there would be complicated procedures, but only a rock puppet received him.

This is already the last three days of enrollment, and Qin Que has found out all the way...... It's all on your own.

In the eyes of most students, entering a poor academy is, of course, a sacred thing, and the sooner you prepare, the better.

No one would come to Zhoushan at such a late hour for no reason.

Qin Que was also happy to be quiet.

Along the way, the rock puppets were explaining the precautions, Qin Que was not surprised that the rocks could speak, and the Zhou Academy had mastered the top skills of the Great Shang.

The content of the matter is simply summarized in a few words, and in the illusion of the dragon locking array, stay as long as possible. After waking up from the illusion, someone will naturally pick him up.

After sending Qin Que into the entrance of the huge Locking Dragon Array, the blue light in the rock golem's eyes disappeared and turned into ordinary rocks.

Qin Que looked at the huge six-pointed star-shaped array in front of him, stretching for hundreds of zhang, and felt respect.

Even his predecessor, when he passed by this formation, he felt that the incomparably majestic aura was locked in it.

Without hesitation, Qin Que stepped into the Locking Dragon Array.

His predecessor was blunt in his qualifications, and he couldn't take the lead in stealing people, so he could only be a late bloomer.

But now he was absolutely sure that he could be the best student in the Academy.

......

......

The first peak of Buzhou Mountain is called Daizong.

In the past, Du Fu once looked at the mountains at the first peak and wrote famous sentences that shocked the literary world.

Later, after becoming the dean of the Zhou Academy, Du Fu rarely left Daizong.

Today, there is one more person on the chess floor on Daizong, except for Du Fu.

The saint of Taoism, the first master of Taiyi Mountain, Tang forgot the year.

The wine at the chessboard has been warmed twice, and the two have obviously talked for a long time, looking at the layers of clouds and mist not far away, and talking with the old man, how pleasant.

However, the expressions of these two people are not pleasant.

Tang Wangnian's trip was not far away, and when he came to Buzhou Mountain, there were naturally extremely important things, and whenever things were urgent, most of them were not good things.

"Qin Jian is dead. ”

When the first glass of wine entered his throat, Du Fu heard such a news.

He was not familiar with Qin Jian.

But as one of the Three Sages, he, Tang Wangnian and Yan Pingle all recognized Qin Jian, and he was the fourth companion.

How lonely the path of cultivation was, and suddenly there was one less person, Du Fu couldn't help but sigh:

"Who crosses the red dust, only the soul tomb has no reason. ”

Tang Wunian didn't have so much thought, and his emotions were still the same:

"The news comes from Buddhism. Buddha's Night. ”

"I heard that they are close friends, and the little monk never speaks, it seems that there will be no fake, but apart from you and me, who else in the world can kill him?"

Du Fu was puzzled. Tang Wunian also shook his head, but still said his guess:

"Source Beast. ”

"Yes, it is rumored that this person has supernatural powers that none of us possess, and can drink the blood of source beasts without dying. I want to fight more with the source beast. ”

"The kung fu he created seems to be able to convert spiritual power and source power, which is called Soul Liberation and Return to the Source. ”

Although Tang Wangnian's tone was indifferent, there was still admiration in his eyes.

He had also thought about it, if the source beast could easily hunt the spirit beast, did it mean that the source power was essentially stronger than the spirit power?

Is it possible for a person to cultivate the source power and give up the spiritual power?

But he can't do it, Du Fu can't do it, and Yan Pingle can't do it.

Qin Jian, who ranked fourth and had never stepped into the Tianxing realm, did it.

But now...... The man died.

"This person has accumulated a lot of money and is a late bloomer, but he died suddenly, which is a pity. When the three of us went to Guangyuan Temple, we saw a calligraphy and painting, do you remember?" asked Du Fu.

"Naturally, I remember that it was painted by the Buddha, and there were cicadas, praying mantises, and yellow finches in the painting.

But the bizarre thing is that whether it is a praying mantis, a cicada, or even a yellow finch, it is extremely huge. During the period, cicadas are the most. ”

Tang still remembers that many details in that painting, and a few strokes of the world, are so small.

And the praying mantis, the cicada and the yellow finch are like huge creatures in the universe.

There are three huge creatures living on the Coptis tree, which makes everything seem absurd.

"At that time, the old abbot pointed to the painting, let us each understand, and said that if you must choose an identity, how should you choose?

Du Fu seemed to be smiling.

Tang Wangnian nodded expressionlessly and said:

"I chose the praying mantis. I think that in heaven and earth, we should not call ourselves yellow finch, that is too arrogant, in fact, when we hunt all things in the world, maybe this world may also hunt us. That's why I chose praying mantis for introspection. ”

Du Fu nodded and said:

"I chose the cicada. I have been close to ordinary people all my life, and I know that in order for the world to be magnificent, it needs to be substantial.

The people of the Great Shang Country, these lives that are as small as dust in our eyes, are the foundation.

They are at the bottom of the world, but they are also the pioneers of the whole world. ”

Du Fu paused and said:

That's why the Buddha painted the cicada so hugely. ”

Tang Wangnian did not argue with Du Fu, because this painting is meant to make people have a different understanding.

唐掎年 says:

Yan Pingle chose the yellow finch, which has nothing to do with predation and hunting, he just wants to fly higher and simply yearn for freedom. He wanted to see beyond the sky. ”

The sky has been sealed by words and clouds, and no one knows what is in the sky.

Du Fu nodded, and the three saints made different choices, representing the different hearts of the three of them.

But he changed his tone and asked:

"A year later, when I went to Guangyuan Temple again, the old abbot said to me, Qin Jian...... made a different choice than we did. ”

"Qin Jian, what did he choose?"

Du Fu nodded, looked at the clouds, and said:

"He chose the tree. ”

"Trees?"

Tang Wangnian was a little puzzled at first, then relieved, and then ...... The expression was solemn.

"The tree that bears the yellow finches, the praying mantis, and the cicadas...... I see, it's a pity. ”

Du Fu also nodded and sighed:

"The world says that Qin Jian is a late bloomer and has blunt qualifications, but maybe ...... His Dao veins are blocked, but his Dao heart is clear. ”

Tang Wangnian nodded, understanding why Du Fu was so sorry.

However, the waves have passed, and we can only look forward to the future waves.

"Are there any interesting students to recruit this year?"

"There was one who was almost expelled. ”

Du Fu's expression looked quite embarrassed.

"Expelled from the academy, you are not aware of the atmosphere of the academy, influenced by the feast and peace, and has always been free, what did he do and almost be expelled?"

Du Fu shook his head, not that he couldn't say it, but he didn't know how to say it.

You can't say to Tang Wangnian, a person who pretends to be cold when he sees a man and talks stumbling when he sees a woman-

This student struck the female luthier on the chest and did something indecent, right?

"This student's name is Zhou Liu, when she entered the illusion world, in the dragon locking array, there was an orange light flowing in the stone tablet corresponding to her......"

"Orange light?" Tang was surprised:

"Except for Yan Pingle's younger brother, there hasn't been an orange light in the academy over the years, right?"

"Yes, this array was first built for trapped dragons, and later it was transformed by several saints into a formation specifically used to test the qualifications of the mind. It is no exaggeration to say that if there is an orange light in the stele, then the person has the qualifications of a saint. ”

Tang Wunian was suddenly very curious, what did this student named Zhou Liu do, with such qualifications, he was almost expelled.

Du Fu didn't answer, and said:

"Except for Zhou Liu, there are no more people with good qualifications, but there is one of the tallest among the short, Xie Zhiyun, from the Xie family in Jiangyue. It is said that he is a genius of the Xie family's generation. The purple light in the stele flows, showing a sign of purple gas coming from the east. ”

"Stop the clouds, the ambition is not small. In your eyes, such a genius is only the tallest of the short?"

"If you can't be sanctified, you're not a companion. ”

Tang Wangnian didn't agree with this sentence, after all, Qin Jian was ...... back then Not even eligible for admission.

Du Fu shook his head slightly, this year's freshmen do have surprises, but the student's temperament has a big problem.

He did not want to talk about it any more, so he asked:

"You came today, shouldn't you just tell me about Qin Jian's death?"

"I traveled through the north, passing through the Snow High Grottoes of the Wolf Court, and found that many people were suffering from a strange disease, talking madly, behaving strangely, and being delirious. It is rumored to be infected with some kind of bug. ”

"Bugs?"

"Yes, I haven't seen it, I came this time to ask you to borrow someone. Master Ji is a skilled doctor, and if you go to the north with me, you may be able to get some clues. ”

Du Fu frowned, not because he didn't want to borrow someone, but because he felt the seriousness of the matter.

"Did you think of something?"

Tang Wangnian did not deny it, and said:

"Before the clouds sealed the sky, he once said that there will be fierce beasts, natural disasters, insect disasters, evil demons, and chaotic gods in the world. ”

After a pause, Tang Wangnian looked at Du Fu with a solemn expression:

"If the beast is a source beast, then the insect chaos, will it be related to the sudden illness in the north?"

Of course, Tang Wangnian was just a conjecture, and Du Fu didn't think that this matter was right in his heart.

"Pingle is only one chance away from breaking the barrier of the sky, and if he follows the clouds, he can't be trusted. ”

Du Fu stood up, walked to the edge of the chessboard, looked at the stratus clouds under his feet, and said:

"The words went to the sky with the clouds, but they sealed the sky in one fell swoop, causing everyone in the cultivation world to be unable to sense the purest aura.

Although we are saints in the world, you must also know that compared to the previous dynasty, we have fallen to a whole realm. ”

"This step away is a world of difference. ”

Tang Wangnian was silent, he couldn't refute it, and deep down, he also resented Yan Suiyun.

After sealing the sky, the Tianxing Realm has become the ultimate realm, and it is difficult to break through again. Although they are also saints, their generation is actually far inferior to that time when they were talked.

唐掎年 says:

"No matter what, the affairs in the north, my intuition in my heart is not a trivial matter, these insects can even be infected by the people of the Wolf Court, if they flow into the Nine Jin Dynasty merchants, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Du Fu nodded and said:

"The people's livelihood is the foundation of the world, and you can borrow the people of the academy if you don't care about it. ”

"I owe you a favor. "Tang Wangnian is still cold.

But Du Fu thought:

Ji Xianyin is as beautiful as a flower, although she is over fifty years old like the old abbot, her Taoist practice has made her age slowly, and she looks like a girl in her twenties......

I wonder if Tang Wangnian can withstand it along the way?

The wind above Dai Zong was like a cold knife, and the tea soon became cold.

Just when Du Fu was about to refill the cup, under the clouds, suddenly a red light went straight through the sky!

Tang Wangnian and Du Fu were both surprised.

"It's ...... From the Dragon Locking Array?"

The straight red light broke through the sky, and the expressions of Du Fu and Tang Wangnian gradually changed from shock to surprise!

There had never been a stone tablet in the Dragon Locking Array that had seen a red light emerge, and it was still this kind of red light that went straight through the sky.

"Could it be that there are new students entering the battle today?" said Tang Wangnian.

Du Fu didn't respond to this sentence, he had already woken up from the shock, and even thought that he needed to arrange an enchantment.

With a wave of Du Fu's long sleeves, a layer of dense fog suddenly appeared outside the Dragon Lock Array, and the sky-high red light was also hidden in the thick fog.

Only Du Fu and Tang Wangnian could still see that strong red light.

"Judging from the direction, it should be the Heavenly Awakening Monument in the Locking Dragon Array, this monument ...... I have never chosen anyone, how can any candidate enter the illusion of this monument?"

The things that surprised Tang Wangnian and Du Fu were far from over, and the next ...... The intense red light, the color is still deepening.

It slowly turned black.

The black pillar of light that poured into the sky was like a heavenly punishment.

"Who the hell is in the Dragon Lock Array? Since the Saints transformed this array, the Great Array has never seen anything like this!"

Du Fu was horrified in his heart, and Tang Wangnian was also quite curious.

"I want to meet this student, I think he is related to my Taiyi Sect. ”

Du Fu glanced at Tang Wangnian and said:

"Since this person has chosen my own academy, that is the person of my academy, you are a Taoist and miserable, don't harm others. ”

"That's not right, he just doesn't know how good Taiyi Taoism is, what if people are dedicated to Taoism?"

"Besides, I won't borrow it. ”

"Don't you want to borrow Mrs. Ji, you will let me this student?"

"You...... Tang Wangnian, what about your temperament, your face and virtue!"

......

......

Not at the foot of the mountain, lock the dragon array.

Qin Que looked at the pile of strangers around him, and felt scared for the first time.

Even if he used to be the fourth in the world, when he saw these monsters from the previous dynasty, he felt like a husky had entered the wolf pack.

"Damn, didn't you say that the scene in this array was very gentle, why did I see these perverts?"
