Chapter 17: The Triple Test (3)
Ling Huqing followed behind Ah Ye, and Ah Ye chattered along the way: "Shizun asked me to take you to the school field, what are you doing in the school field? Is it to test your swordsmanship? Well, it should be like this." ”
Seeing that Ling Huqing didn't react, he asked, "Ah Qing, do you know how to use a sword?"
Ling Huqing said perfunctorily: "I know a little bit about it." ”
Aye's eyes lit up, and he said with envy: "You are so powerful! You see that you are a year younger than me and can use swordsmanship, and I still don't even have a sword, the master said, I will not be taught until I pass the entrance test." ”
The introductory test that Ano said refers to a test specifically for nominal disciples, and nominal disciples can participate every year, and if their spiritual power is qualified, they can also be promoted to inner disciples.
While talking, the two came to the school grounds.
The school field was empty, only some swords, guns, swords and halberds were erected on both sides, which seemed very empty.
There was a huge square object in the center of the school grounds, shrouded in black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
But Ling Huqing clearly heard the sound of breathing, heavy breathing, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
He stood with his hands in his hands, still holding a wine bag in his hand, and the wind blew his beard and robe into the air.
"Master, Ah Qing is here", Ah Ye saluted.
"Well, go and uncover the black cloth outside," Michiko commanded.
Ling Huqing gave a salute to Xu Daozi, and she seemed to have guessed how Xu Daozi was going to test her.
If yesterday was a test of perseverance and endurance, then today is a test of courage and courage, she said in her heart that this is really not simple, and even the exam questions are so strange.
When Ano completely uncovered the black cloth, he was stunned. A colorful tiger was lying in a huge iron cage, staring at him, a pair of green eyes shining fiercely. The tiger suddenly saw the light and roared, and the whole school field seemed to shake.
"Mom, ------!", Ah Ye was so frightened that he threw the black cloth in his hand to the ground, pulled his legs and ran, it was the first time he had seen a live tiger so closely.
"Master, you are ...... ...... this?" Aye was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"I wonder if you can't pass the entry test this time, I'll feed you to this tiger, do you think it's okay?"
Ah Ye hurriedly knelt down, hugged Xu Daozi's leg and cried: "Master, you have worked hard to raise your apprentice, Ah Ye is not your son is better than your own son, how can you send your own son into the tiger's mouth?"
He rubbed his snot and tears on his trouser leg and said, "Besides, if the futile child is gone, who will give you the old laundry and cook in the future, beat your legs to buy wine, and tease your mouth to relieve your boredom?"
"So, you stupid boy is still a little useful?" Michiko narrowed his eyes, as if he was a little drunk.
"It's useful! It's very useful!" Ah Ye nodded heavily, "In the future, the apprentice will definitely be filial to his master." ”
Xu Daozi put his big hand on the top of Aye's head and slapped it twice, "Okay, then keep your little life first, and talk about it when it doesn't please the eye!"
Ah Ye sighed, he looked at Ling Huqing, Ling Huqing looked calm, not shocked, but his eyes were always observing the tiger.
"Senior, please show me!" Ling Huqing bowed.
"This tiger has been hungry for three days, and it is very fierce. I will put you in a cage, and if you fight with the tiger, you will die, either it will die or you will die, are you willing to accept this test?"
"Master, what kind of test are you, this is obviously to let Ah Qing go to death, no, no!" Ah Ye was very anxious when he heard this, if Ye Qing's small body was locked up with the tiger, he would not be swallowed by the tiger.
He said in his heart that this master is becoming more and more ruthless, such a cruel test method is not like the usual style of the master at all.
"Ye Qing is willing to accept it, whether he lives or dies!" Ling Hu Qing's voice was extremely calm, without any waves.
"Ah Qing, you can't help it, you can't help it, you have to avenge your parents, there is a way. In addition to the Tianyu Gate, there are also Ziguang Pavilion, Fahua Temple, you can go anywhere, even if you are a monk, you can stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, or your life matters. ”
Ah Ye chattered a lot, he reached out and dragged Ling Huqing's sleeve and said, "Let's go, let's go, I'll send you down the mountain!"
Xu Daozi did not stop Ah Ye, he poured a sip of wine from time to time, but his eyes kept glancing at Ling Huqing intentionally or unintentionally, and he could see firmness and ruthlessness in that slightly pale face, he believed in his own vision.
"It's too late to regret it now!" said Michiko further probing.
Ling Huqing shook Aye's hand away and strode towards the iron cage: "The word regret has nothing to do with me Ye Qing!"
"Catch!" Xu Daozi threw a dagger to Ling Huqing, "Thank you!" Ling Huqing held the dagger tightly in his hand.
As soon as she was short, she got into the cage, "Bang!" As soon as the lock fell, the iron cage was locked from the outside.
As soon as Linghu Qingqing entered the cage, the tiger stood up "Teng". This tiger is an adult tiger, with yellow and black stripes all over its body, bright coat, tufts of white hair on its lips, chin, abdomen and inner limbs, and the word "Wang" on its forehead makes it look majestic.
When it saw someone coming in, it raised its head, opened its bloody mouth, licked Sensen's white teeth, and stretched out a scarlet tongue, and the barbs on the tongue were very distinct.
Its eyes kept staring at Ling Huqing, as if it was observing this "prey". Ling Huqing hung his hands on the cage and remained motionless.
Because she is familiar with the characteristics of animals, you must not act rashly when encountering this kind of beast, because if you bend down, you may be regarded as the object of attack and hunting by the beast, and while you observe the beast, the beast is also studying you, it is studying how to kill you with one blow.
For the petite Ling Huqing, the tiger quickly made its judgment, a fierce beast that had not eaten for three days would attack almost subconsciously.
The tiger had already pounced, and when it leaped, its paws, which were usually shrunk in the pads of flesh, had already stretched out.
It's so sharp that if it is swept by this claw, the whole arm will be ruined.
Of course, Ling Huqing will not sit still, she deftly jumped to another corner of the cage, the tiger did not expect this "prey" to be so flexible, it was not caught for a while, its claws swept to the iron cage, the tough wire was swept off several times, it roared angrily, turned around, and immediately launched an attack on Ling Huqing in the corner.
It stood upright, lightning fast, and opened its mouth wide to bite Ling Huqing's throat.
Ah Ye has been nervously staring at everything in front of him, his heart is beating like a drum, just when the tiger will Ling Huqing to the ground, he covered his eyes, not daring to look again, a bloody scene seems to have appeared in front of his eyes, Ling Huqing was bitten off his throat, and the blood flowed like an infusion......
There was a terrible roar from the cage, but it was not Linghu's, but the tiger's.
Ling Huqing and the tiger were still rolling on the ground, and Ling Huqing grabbed the tiger's throat tightly with one hand, and reached into the tiger's mouth with the other.
The tiger's sharp teeth had left several deep holes of blood in her arms, which were gushing out. But she didn't even frown, and her legs pressed hard against the tiger's chest, and a large amount of blood foamed from the corners of the tiger's mouth.
Ling Huqing felt that her eyes were full of stars, and she didn't know how long she could hold on. At the moment when the tiger opened its mouth wide and pounced on her, the dagger had been stabbed deep into the tiger's throat.
In this way of almost self-harm, she made the tiger lose its combat effectiveness in an instant, its throat was blocked, its lungs were punctured, and its throat was strangled to death, as long as it couldn't breathe, no matter how brave the beast was, it would lie down, which was the best and most effective way she could think of.
The tiger was still struggling, its iron rod-like tail constantly whipping at Ling Huqing's body, and its claws were also grabbing Ling Huqing's shoulders indiscriminately. Pain, dizziness, exhaustion, all kinds of sensations came at her, she bit her lower lip and said to herself in her heart, hold on, just hold on for a moment longer.
Finally, she felt that her arm was loosened, the tiger's teeth seemed to loosen slightly, and its claws seemed to be paralyzed, so Hu Qing immediately made a decision, and quickly took out the dagger from the tiger's throat, only to see a flash of cold light, and the dagger was all submerged into the tiger's throat, Ling Hu Qing pulled out the dagger, flew up, and still returned to the corner of the iron cage.
The tiger was in pain, rolling on the ground, a terrible roar came from its throat, its eyes were fixed on the "prey" in the corner, and it seemed to want to stand up and throw this cunning "prey" to the ground and bite it fiercely.
But the prolonged breathlessness and injured lungs made it move more and more slowly, and blood continued to flow down its throat, staining its bright fur red.
Finally, the tiger used his last strength and never moved again.
Ling Huqing walked out of the iron cage, her shoulder was injured by the tiger's claws, the flesh was blurred, the blood flowed like a stream, one arm was almost bitten through by the sharp tiger teeth, and her legs and knees were also all injured.
Seeing Ling Huqing limping out, Aye's eyes that were usually smiling turned red, he walked over and wanted to support Ling Huqing, he admired Ling Huqing so much, he couldn't imagine that there was such a huge power in this small body, it was amazing.
"No!" Ling Huqing's eyes stared at him, making him feel like he was being watched by a fierce beast.
He looked at Xudaozi, who poured the wine into his mouth and said as if he was very happy: "Okay! You go back today and have a good rest, tomorrow will be the last test." ”
"Master, how can there be!" Ah Ye muttered in his mouth, saying that yesterday was to jump 200,000 stone steps, today is to fight tigers, tomorrow you can't catch the dragon, Master, your old man is also vicious.
"Skinned this tiger, and send it to me!" ordered Michiko.
"Ah, Master, you better call other senior brothers, I'm scared when I see that thing!" Ah Ye was reluctant, in fact, he wanted to go back early to take care of Ling Huqing.
"If you don't listen, then tomorrow I will find another tiger to lock you in!"
