Chapter 4 The world is hot and cold

The next day, the autumn was crisp and the sky was clear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, there were still two days before the official start of the sect competition. Ye Shuo and the consultant casually packed up and set off.

The Dingtian Mountains are connected by mountains and mountains, continuous, vast and endless, and the Xuantian Sect is located in the northwest corner of them. Since the news of the sect competition was released, the Dingtian Mountain Range has been very lively for several days. In front of the gate of Xuantian Pai Mountain, there is a long and narrow avenue paved with green mountain boards, as if it leads straight to the sky. As far as the eye can see, the steps are full of surging people.

"The two people who walked over just now seem to have only a period of aura fluctuation. Do I dare to participate at this level?Did I feel wrong?" Among the two people who were walking not far from Ye Shuo, someone suddenly let out a startled voice and projected a curious gaze.

"You're new here, no wonder you don't recognize them. The one on the left wearing coarse cloth clothes is called Ye Shuo, but it is the famous waste wood sent by our Xuantian. After more than ten years of entry, I can't even memorize the mantra well, so I can only do chores. Looking at their poor and sour appearance, they were all dirty, and they probably just came over after doing chores. The other person did not shy away from Ye Shuo being next to them, and explained loudly to his companion.

"Oh, I see. The companion's eyes turned on Ye Shuo again with a look of a joke. "It doesn't matter if the strength is almost there, but if I were him, I would never go to the sect competition to show ugliness in the name of accumulating a period of energy. ”

The two talked and laughed loudly, and in a short time they were far away.

On the next road, I heard a lot of similar words, and the consultant looked at Ye Shuo with some concern.

Ye Shuo put his hands behind his head, quietly looking at the white clouds floating above his head, silent, as if he had something on his mind. After a while, he seemed to be comforting the advisor and said, "I knew that this would be the case, I should have told Senior Brother Chu to come and pick us up, and I didn't have to be looked down upon by these guys." ”

"Forget it, forget it if you don't come, if you can really become a core disciple this time, we will still have to be self-reliant in the sect in the future, and we can't count on him for everything. "The advisor was clearly depressed.

At the end of the stone staircase to heaven are two stone pillars that lead to the clouds. There is a plaque between the stone pillars, and the three big characters of "Xuantian School" are engraved on it upright, which is simple and heavy. Just looking at it from a distance, you can feel a fierce aura rushing to your face, like a sharp sword ready to be unsheathed.

In front of the mountain gate, there were several disciples, well-equipped, who were leading the guests inside.

Ye Shuo stared at the tall mountain gate, and there was a vague sense of time and space trance. When he first came here, he was just a child who was carried up the mountain in swaddling clothes, and he had no memory for a long time. The only thing he remembered was when he left here, carrying his haphazard bags on his back, biting his fingers, and looking back at the magnificent mountain gate step by step. In the shouting and driving away of the deacon's disciples, he ended his identity as a disciple of the outer room of the Great Spiritual Cultivation Sect and became a cheap handyman on the side of the mountain. At that time, he was still ignorant, thinking that it was just a different place to live. It wasn't until he grew up and the scene became clear in his memories that he really felt the sourness of falling from the clouds to hell.

"Stop! You must pay two spirit stones before entering the mountain gate!"

Ye Shuo was in a daze, when he was suddenly pushed forward, and then he saw the fierce and vicious gatekeeper disciple in front of him.

Spirit Stones are a low-level currency commonly used among cultivators. Since it itself stores a certain amount of spiritual power, holding it in your hand when cultivating has the effect of speeding up the absorption of spiritual energy and understanding spiritual skills.

Although I haven't heard of this rule when entering the door, Ye Shuo doesn't care, he still promises to dig it out.

"Wait. The advisor stopped Ye Shuo, turned his head and looked coldly at the two gatekeeper disciples, "As far as I know, outsiders only need to pay spirit stones when they visit the competition, we are originally disciples of the Xuantian Sect, why do we have to hand over this spirit stone?"

"Don't be verbose, let you hand it over!" The gatekeeper's eyes sharpened, and when he saw Ye Shuo on the side, there was a joke in his eyes again, "Dressed so shabby, I just said who this is, it turned out to be Ye Shuo's junior brother who has been charging for a while! Anyway, even if you take this spirit stone, it's useless, it's better to use it to honor my senior brother, maybe I can improve a paragraph or two before the sect competition." ”

"If you really had the ability, you wouldn't be staying here to guard the mountain gate now. The advisor scoffed, "I think you're just trying to fill your pockets." ”

"I'll give it to you, it's true that it's useless for me to take it, but even if I give it to you, senior brother, you just take it back as an ornament. Ye Shuo said indifferently.

"You! How dare you mock me!"

While several people were arguing, a familiar voice rang out.

"It's really a narrow road!

Several people turned their eyes at the same time, and saw Yuan Ji and Fan Cheng swaggering down.

"It's you?" Ye Shuo was not angry, and said, "Aren't you in confinement?

As soon as he mentioned this, Yuanji's face turned red with anger. He spat viciously and said, "It's not all because of you, a little brute, that caused us to suffer from the scorching sun for so long at the Heavenly Destiny Peak!

"It seems that I haven't learned enough from last time. The corners of Ye Shuo's mouth slowly opened a smile, and the whole person seemed to have a layer of coldness, and a layer of black air flow was wrapped around his body.

Yuan Ji saw that he was not timid, and thought of the situation last time, his heart instantly sank, and then he forced this unprovoked fear down, and shouted angrily: "Shut up! Last time it was just your luck, and you really dared to show it off." Watch me break your legs!"

The two gatekeepers were stunned for a moment, completely unaware of this sudden change, but then they both retreated to the side to watch the battle in a good mood. Although Yuan Ji and Fan Cheng are not high, they are well-known in the sect for bullying the weak and fearing hard tempers. Low-level disciples can often only consider themselves unlucky when they encounter them. Later, if these two junior brothers were beaten and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, they wouldn't mind pretending not to see all this.

"Ye Shuo, forget it, Senior Brother Chu Tianyao may still be waiting for us. The advisor said that it was never a good idea to clash with the other party in front of the Xuantian Sect's mountain gate. The last time the incident happened in the small bamboo forest, and no one saw it, so it was rare that the elders didn't pursue it. This time, he fought at the door of people's houses again, and there were a few gatekeepers standing on the side, making it clear that there would be no good fruit to eat.

Ye Shuo looked at the advisor, then at Yuan Ji and Fan Cheng, and did not stop.

Just as the battle was about to break out, another clear voice sounded: "Private fights are forbidden during the sect competition, do you all want to be punished by my father?" A crimson robe wrapped in a delicate figure, with dazzling orchids pierced between the eyebrows, a purple tassel obliquely inserted, and the big eyes of the water are blinking smartly. It is Qi Lingsha, the daughter of the master of the Xuantian Sect.

Qi Lingsha is like a burning flame, different from the elegant and beautiful Yan Xuemeng, but each has its own merits.

With the appearance of Qi Lingsha, the tense atmosphere that had been tense a moment ago immediately relaxed. The crowd who was watching and coaxing suddenly became respectful.

Qi Lingsha lazily responded to everyone's greetings, frowned, and said, "I seem to have heard someone mention Chu Tianyao's name just now. His gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Ye Shuo. Noticing Ye Shuo's dress, Qiong shrugged his nose, and what flashed in his eyes was the disgust that Ye Shuo had been accustomed to for so many years.

"Anyone dares to come to the competition. If you don't want to hand over the spirit stone, you even use Chu Tianyao's name to deceive!"

As she sneered bitterly, Ye Shuo's and the consultant's faces sank one after another.

Yuan Ji and Fan Cheng were very happy to see it, and they smiled one by one beside Qi Lingsha: "Little junior sister, how do we clean them up when we see them!"

Qi Lingsha snorted: "Then we have to wait until they can pass the pre-selection! If they are knocked out in the first round, then they won't even have a chance to teach them a lesson." ”

"Thank you. Senior sister is so competitive, if you have time to trouble us here, it is better to go back and practice. Beware of not being swept down in the first round, otherwise it won't look good in the eyes of Senior Brother Chu Tianyao. Ye Shuo said without humility or arrogance.

Qi Lingsha heard the advisor mention Chu Tianyao, and a blush quickly flashed across her face. Embarrassed and annoyed, he stomped his feet, and said angrily: "Anyone can say big things, then I want to see your strength!" After speaking, he left surrounded by a group of disciples.

This episode happened, and no one stopped Ye Shuo and the two of them from asking for spirit stones. The two were taken to a very poor house, with every ten people in the house, which was extremely crowded.

Ye Shuo looked at the senior brothers in the same room, some were closing their eyes and cultivating, some were pinching the trick with their hands, and some were swallowing the elixir and hurriedly refining, each preparing for the upcoming competition. In contrast, only myself and my advisor have nothing to do, and they don't do anything.

"Senior brother, may I ask ......" Ye Shuo cautiously walked over to a disciple who seemed to be relatively kind, and asked cautiously. After asking several times, the disciple still closed his eyes and ignored him. Ye Shuo was helpless, and walked in front of another disciple. Still said the same thing, and before he could finish asking, the disciple suddenly glared at him and shouted angrily: "What are you arguing about? I just had a rare understanding, and I was almost about to break through to the fourth stage of Qi Storage, and you dared to interrupt my upgrade opportunity, and if you don't believe it or not, I will directly beat you so that you don't have to participate?"

Ye Shuo whispered no, and pulled the consultant to retreat to the corner. The two looked around at a loss, and finally Ye Shuo had a whim, and whispered a few words in the advisor's ear.

"No! you!" the advisor looked surprised.

"I'm just thinking, although I defeated Yuan Ji and Fan Cheng before, and also cut down the trees in the back mountain, but ...... I can't control this power by myself at all, what if I suddenly can't use it when the ring is contested?" Ye Shuo explained in a low voice.

The dark and dreary night seems to be smeared on the sky. In the night, two figures quietly walked out of the room, walking quickly on the silent path.

According to Ye Shuo's thoughts, the core area of the sect must have preserved a lot of exercise cheats. If you can temporarily learn a spiritual skill, it will be more possible to pass the sect competition. Even otherwise, there must be many disciples in the sect who practice at night, go and take a look at them.

Sneak into the hinterland of the sect and learn from the teacher! This is Ye Shuo's bold decision!

However, as the two walked, the road became darker and darker, but there was no one to be seen.

After a while, a large hall loomed in front of him, and the shadow of a dim candle appeared on the window frame.

Ye Shuo and the advisor tiptoed over, but they didn't see anything, and suddenly a sound of footsteps sounded, and the two of them flashed behind the pillars in a panic.

A glimmer of light slowly moved towards this direction, and there was a disciple on the night patrol holding a lantern.

Ye Shuo and the advisor watched him walk towards the other side, they were so nervous that they didn't dare to take a breath.

"Who!" Suddenly, the disciple didn't know what he had noticed, and turned around with a lantern and walked over to Ye Shuo and them.

Ye Shuo watched as the flickering light had covered his toes!
