Chapter 10: The Trial (I)
"Master Hua, I'll introduce it to you." Pian Pian said as she pointed to the green-robed man in charge, "This is the eight-armed mantis monster, Brother Tang Xinzi." β
Hua Jiuxi bowed and said, "Don't you shy away from words like spirits?" β
"Hahahaha." Just heard Tang Xinzi smile, "The world calls it that, what can I do?" It's good to say how to come. β
"This is a giant termite, Whitebase." It was the little fat man in white, he smiled and didn't speak.
"God-footed spider Zhu Tian, our big butler." The man in yellow gave Hua Jiuxi a compliment.
"Reverse the horse scorpion, Xie Xiaodi."
This is the youngest of them, Hua Jiuxi looked at him from a close distance again, and saw that this short-haired young man was extremely handsome, and his two eyes were especially good-looking, like two longan seeds. He always kept his distance from the adults, and he never spoke to him.
"That kid isn't dumb, he's just quieter than me." I don't know when, Xiang Ling, Jiaqin, and Luo Yue have already walked behind him. Hua Jiuxi was surrounded by the eight cave masters of the Moth Society, and if he was an enemy, it is estimated that he would have been abolished long ago.
"Dragon Girl, don't come unharmed?" Tang Xinzi asked.
"Unharmed." Xiang Ling lazily responded, "The person I'm going to bring has been brought, is this credit big or small?" β
"That's just a small number." Zhu Tian smiled and said, "You have nothing to seal, and you can't be rewarded." Therefore, if we make any contributions, we can only refer to the big and the small. β
"You really entrusted the wrong person, if I go, I will fly directly and capture this Huahua." Luo Yue interjected, "Let this girl sell well here!" β
"No, you're not pretty enough." Xiang Ling said to Luo Yue.
"Cut, just ask the person concerned?" Luo Yue grabbed Hua Jiuxi's arm, and his five fingers were deeply sunk, which was obviously threatening.
"This ......" Hua Jiuxi's face broke out in a cold sweat, no matter how he answered, it was estimated that he would be torn apart by these two people on the spot, it was really tricky.
"The girls are really lively, let's stop making trouble." Bai Lei walked over and took Luo Yue's hand away. Luo Yue looked very disgusted by being touched by the fat fingers, and quickly withdrew his arm.
This was obviously what Bai Lei expected, and he smiled and turned his hand behind his back.
"Do you know the purpose of your trip?" Tang Xinzi asked Hua Jiuxi.
Hua Jiuxi shook his head.
"Senior Brother Ling was really afraid that you would regret it, so he didn't tell you anything." Tang Xinzi said, "You know, in addition to the Eight Great Cave Masters, our Moth Worm Society also has a 'worm head' position. At present, this son has been empty for decades and has not been able to make up for it. β
Hua Jiuxi had already guessed it, but this kind of "nothing to do" thing obviously contains a lot of risks. Hua Jiuxi hurriedly asked: "How did the last insect head ......?"
"Feathered." Tang Xinzi said, "When I say feathering, I mean it literally. His old man flew up to the 'empty sea'. β
Hua Jiuxi didn't care what the "empty sea" was, but said: "If the worm head is really such an important position, why has it been vacant for many years?" β
Everyone was silent for a while, and Tang Xinzi broke the silence and said with a smile: "Good question, the conditions for being this insect head are originally extremely harsh - they are all old men who are old and virtuous, have strong abilities, and have a high status. After the previous head of the worm stepped down, he could no longer find anyone who met the requirements. Originally, the rule was to select within the meeting, but as you can see, the current few are mediocre. β
"You are extremely modest, and I can tell that you are all great monsters. My eyes could see the magic flowing. Hua Jiuxi said.
"Maybe it's because we don't have a worm head, and we've been running comfortably for years, but everyone is lazy. But now that the foreign enemy is invading, no matter what, we have to find someone to take command. Tang Xinzi said.
"What we found is you, Master Hua." Pianpiao looked at Hua Jiuxi.
"I ......" Hua Jiuxi glanced at everyone's expressions, only saying that there was neither a sincere look nor a deceptive look in their eyes, which was very strange.
"What can I do?" At all times, Chinese must always be humble first.
"We've seen your information, Chong provided the old man." Pian Pian took out a book out of nowhere and turned a few pages slightly: "Because the Sect is our closest comrade-in-arms, he has many magic weapons, and he also has a connection with the Queen Mother of the West and her old man. Therefore, if the trust worm head is selected outside the meeting, you will be given priority. β
"Senior Brother Zun said that he was old, so let's ask Gao Ming, so he recommended you. And Hua Jiuxi, you have not only dealt with the monsters of the East, but also recently returned from Shaoguang City, and have seen one of the strongest enemies in the world. These are all plus points. Pian Pian said.
"The most important thing is that you have always found the legendary Blue Worm King Immortal." Tang Xinzi said.
"Oh, scarabs?" Hua Jiuxi said, "But that's not mine." β
"That beetle has a lot to do with our Moths, as you'll find out later. Moreover, since it is your fiancΓ©e's, it is considered joint property. Pian Pian said with a glance.
"That's no problem-" Hua Jiuxi said, maybe he is really not as weak as he imagined? As the saying goes, "a thousand wear it, but a sycophant doesn't wear it". Although Hua Jiuxi knew that this was some flattering words, she was still very happy.
"Master Hua, in terms of righteousness, you have to give it a try." Tang Xinzi continued, "Besides, being a worm head is definitely beneficial and harmless. β
Hua Jiuxi saw that he was really about to agree, he was also a very curious person, and he really wanted to know some things inside this Moth Society. And it was much later that he realized that power is far more attractive than curiosity.
"I'm going to pour cold water on it." Xiang Ling suddenly said, "Sir, you may not be able to be a worm head. Do you see those ghost gates, you have to go through three trials. β
These words really doused Hua Jiuxi's excitement like a basin of cold water, and he asked timidly, "What trial?"
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and it turned out to be the shrunken appearance of Xiaohua Jiuxi. Hua Jiuxi was a little embarrassed, so he heard Tang Xinzi say: "Fire, blood, and knives are the three evil paths." You have to pass these three levels to be qualified to be a worm head! β
The so-called fire and blood knife is the three realms of hungry ghosts, beasts, and hell in the Buddhist scriptures, and I don't know what the three realms set up by the Mothworm Society are.
"I'll tell you the truth, this trial is very dangerous." Bai Lei said, "Although it didn't kill me, I remember that there were people who challenged before and destroyed half of their bodies." β
Of course, Hua Jiuxi will not be frightened by this, Bai Lei is playing a role of "singing white face" here, and it may not be true.
"I sent a magic object of the Queen Mother of the West, called Muni mud, which can raise dead flesh white. There's still a little left, and even if I lose most of my body, I can still regenerate. Hua Jiuxi patted his chest and said, I want to talk big, and I am not ambiguous.
"Yes, we have heard about your glorious deeds in Shaoguang City." Pian Pian nodded and said.
"Then you don't need to prepare, sir, just go over." Xiang Ling said.
Hua Jiuxi swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay." There is still no bottom in my heart, "Then if I am seriously injured, Xiangling, you will take me ......"
"That's not okay, people will gossip." Xiang Ling said, "I'll call my wife over." β
"That's fine." Hua Jiuxi went out and asked, "What kind of trial method?" β
"Well, it's similar to a circus......" is the most apt saying Xiang Ling can think of.
"Sister Luo Yue, you can keep an eye on Hua Ye in the sky, and if there is an accident, call us over." Tang Xinzi said, as if he had conjured up a three-piece copper coin in his hand and handed it to Hua Jiuxi.
Hua Jiuxi asked, "What is this?" β
"Every time you pass a level, there will be a big cat at the end of the road, and you can put the copper coin in its mouth and you can continue walking." Tang Xinzi said.
Hua Jiuxi said "oh oh" twice, and when he saw that everyone had opened the back door, he walked out of the door. I saw another ghost head archway, but there was a very thick gray-white smoke and dust emerging from the mouth of the big ghost, as if there was a factory hidden inside.
Tang Xinzi whistled, and out of nowhere, a few locust horses came from nowhere, except for Luo Yue, who stepped one across each other, and told Hua Jiuxi a few words, then clamped his legs and ran away.
Luo Yue coughed lightly twice and said, "The fireworks are so big!" Flowey, come with me. He held out his hand.
Hua Jiuxi hesitated for a while, and Luo Yue smiled and withdrew when he saw that he didn't want to hold his hand.
Because the smoke and dust are blown by a hot wind from the bottom up, the view in front is still clear. Hua Jiuxi felt that the ground was getting hotter and hotter, the grass and trees were all yellow, and further on, a big red river was flowing.
Of course, it's not a big river, but scorching lava tumbling rapidly.
"I'm going to die, does that mean let me cross the river, but let me go downstream?" Hua Jiuxi asked this, but his mind settled down - because it was not some strange puzzle, it was just wading through the river.
"Naturally, stepping barefoot in magma for a few seconds, even a human wizard can do it, how can he show his ability?" Luo Yue said.
"I'll give it a try." Hua Jiuxi stretched his feet.
"Wait a minute, you take off your outer robes first." Luo Yue said.
"Yes, yes." Hua Jiuxi saw that there were women present, but she was actually embarrassed, so she simply closed her eyes and threw away the robe. The whole person was naked, and he could feel the soot hitting his skin.
Luo Yue kicked his legs, flew to the middle of the air, and said, "Huahua, you don't have to worry, there is no time limit for this trial." β
I can't help it if there is no time limit, and now the treasures have been taken away, purely relying on personal cultivation. Hua Jiuxi was in trouble for a while, first pulled off a section of hair, and recited a few mantras to that hair, and the hair grew dozens of centimeters in an instant.
Luo Yue didn't know what he wanted, so he stopped in mid-air and looked curiously.
I just watched Hua Jiuxi skillfully tie these hairs into a small person, put the little man on the ground, and shouted at him: "Hua Jiuxi ......"
The little man "vacated" the ground and stood up.
Hua Jiuxi thought that this little trick was not bad, so he cut off a few more sections of his hair - if it was the Mediterranean like Director Qian, it would not be easy. He concocted the same method, and created more than a dozen villains, each of whom called out.
These little people stood up one by one, like a phalanx, Hua Jiuxi walked and they walked, and Hua Jiuxi moved and they moved. Only then did Luo Yue understand the role of the villain.
I saw Hua Jiuxi slowly digging his feet into the boiling magma, originally according to the normal plot, Hua Jiuxi should have jumped up with a scream, and then saw a scorched foot.
But Hua Jiuxi's feet didn't react, and the temperature of the barbecue didn't come out with the heat.
Hua Jiuxi glanced at the villain on the shore, and saw that the foot that was done first was already a little lame, thinking that this magma was not trivial, and I don't know if the number of villains is enough. Before he could think about it, he was submerged in the magma and swam around.
At present, the injuries suffered by Hua Jiuxi's body have been transmitted to the little man, but if the injury is extremely serious, the little man will be reimbursed for death.
Therefore, Hua Jiuxi is currently swimming in a large ball of batter, except for the difficulty of moving, there is no meaning of scorching heat and pain. And since he took that bath, he has been refreshed inside and out, so he still has good physical strength and can swim for a lot of time.
Seeing the little people fall one by one, when they came to the end, all of them burned with red flames, smelled a smell of scorched smoke, and then fell silent.
When the villain was dead, the outline of the second ghost gate finally appeared. Hua Jiuxi cheered, and then went down the magma flow. And just as he lay down on his back, he didn't notice that the last little man had disappeared.
The burning sensation was transmitted to his body in an instant, and Hua Jiuxi jumped up, concentrated his spiritual power on the soles of his feet, and ran quickly on the surface of the magma - this is not a small consumption of power.
When I finally saw the ghost gate, it turned out that the lava was all flowing out of that big mouth, and I couldn't aim at the door without entering the river as a whole. Hua Jiuxi shook the copper coin in his right hand whose palm had already been soaked with sweat, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he straighten up, and sure enough, he saw a big orange cat lying on the ghost door, lazily leaning against the pillar and sleeping.
Hua Jiuxi was afraid that there was something strange about it, so he temporarily stabbed a villain, while sighing that this method would not be able to be used a few times. He threw the villain to the big cat, and heard a roar, and the big cat's body instantly swelled like a leopard.
The black-haired villain in the eyes of Hua Jiuxi and Luo Yue is a big living person with flesh and blood in the eyes of the big cat, and the big cat tears the villain apart and devours it regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one. And what I swallowed in my stomach was actually just a few hairballs.
Just when it thought it was feasting, Hua Jiuxi threw a copper coin into the cat's mouth. The thing shrunk back to its original shape and went back to sleep. And the surging red wave in the ghost's mouth was immediately cut off, revealing a large circular hole.
Hua Jiuxi walked through the first ghost gate, which is the "fire" in the three evil paths.
The smoke was gone, replaced by a strong fishy smell, which was naturally the smell of blood. Ordinary people may be exposed to this smell in places like slaughterhouses, but such a dense blood qi must be unheard of. And the smell of blood, which is so strong that it is so strong, will make people's sense of smell malfunction.
Hua Jiuxi had seen many terrifying situations, but the scene in front of him was the most terrifying and bizarre he had ever witnessed.
