Chapter 168
"Here we are." The monk of the Miaokong Gate stopped, turned his head to look at Wen Hong and Hua Xiang behind him, and said with a smile, "The test is ahead, if you two want to regret it...... Oh, I can't regret it now. ”
"Who says we're going to go back?" Hua Xiang, that is, Wen Chunxiang, frowned slightly, and looked at him with disdain, "Since you dare to covet my Taoist companion, then you should pay the corresponding price!" ”
"Haha, the beauty is really unforgiving." The monk couldn't help but smile when he heard Wen Chunxiang's words, and pointed to Xie Zhenghong beside Wen Chunxiang and said, "Actually, you are also very good, but unfortunately what we don't lack here is the type like you." It's your Taoist couple, tsk, this smell of abstinence is really unforgettable. ”
"One is a precious peony in the world, and the other is a white snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains. It's a pity that now we are all tired of looking at peonies, and you have to take a back seat. A few more monks laughed. Obviously, neither of these two people is anything in their eyes.
In addition, when they came, they heard the news that the test seemed to have been changed, presumably to reduce the difficulty.
You must know that there are only twenty years left before Dadou, but there are not even five people yet, so it must be that the city lord is also a little anxious to change the venue of this trial. Otherwise, there would not have been so many monks rushing to their deaths one by one.
Wen Chunxiang clenched his fists and was about to make a move, when Xie Zhenghong's words came over in time.
"Senior, calm down, calm down." Xie Zhenghong said with a smile.
Wen Chunxiang was angry and didn't want to speak.
Xie Zhenghong saw that Chunxiang didn't reply, and felt more and more that his predecessors were really cute.
Wen Chunxiang has a strange problem, which may be a common problem of many flower demons.
He can't see people say he's good-looking, and he'll get angry. But if you say he's not good-looking, he'll feel that his dignity has been poked and he'll feel even more angry. Therefore, when Xie Zhenghong got along with Wen Chunxiang, he never specifically praised Wen Chunxiang, but mentioned a few words in passing. In this way, not only did he make Wen Chunxiang happy, but he also felt happy.
After getting acquainted with Wen Chunxiang, Xie Zhenghong found that sometimes you pretend to praise Wen Chunxiang inadvertently, Wen Chunxiang will be in a good mood for several days, and he will become extraordinarily easy to talk. And once Xie Zhenghong wants to make a decision, he often asks Wen Chunxiang's opinion during this time, and there is almost no failure.
It's just that the seniors themselves don't have this consciousness, and they don't know that they are okay, and the stinky beauty has been clearly touched by Xie Zhenghong.
Wen Chunxiang has two basic bottom lines, a little monk and one himself. But what these monks said hit his bottom line.
Even if this was originally planned by the little monk, it was the same.
The demon cultivator of the Miaokong Sect only provoked people who shouldn't be messed with because he stole things back then, so he expelled himself in order not to drag down the sect, and voluntarily fell into the Demon Dao, so as not to cause trouble to the master. And when he was in the Yuquan Cave Heaven, the Zen master of Panruo incarnated by Wen Chunxiang sent away several people from the Miaokong Gate, and got the gratitude of the old man and sent them a token of the Miaokong Gate.
When the demon cultivator saw the token of their Miaokong Gate, he secretly came over to contact Xie Zhenghong and the others to ask about the news of the master's door.
When he heard that Xie Zhenghong and Wen Chunxiang wanted to participate in the competition, they agreed to Xie Zhenghong's plan without hesitation.
These ninety-nine cities were formed according to the posture of a central city, surrounded by a circle of the first city in the center.
But every time Ji Xie appears, it is just a trace of divine thoughts and bodies, and no one knows where he really is. Wen Chunxiang and Xie Zhenghong had to work hard to find him, and it was easy to startle a snake if they were not careful.
But if they themselves were brought by a certain city lord, the feasibility would have increased a lot.
At least they could see a touch of Ji Xie's divine thoughts, and it would not be so difficult to find his essence by following his divine thoughts.
And Xie Zhenghong positioned the two of them as a pair of demon Buddha double cultivators.
When he heard the words of the double monk, Wen Chunxiang agreed without thinking about it.
It was impossible for him and the little monk to hold a double cultivation ceremony.
Let's not mention the impact of this incident itself on the cultivation realm, anyway, neither of them will care about these things. But with the serious character of the little monk, Wen Chunxiang had no doubt that Xie Zhenghong would set the highest level of double cultivation mark with him.
So why bother?
He didn't understand why Song Qing chose to ascend back then, but now that he has lived for so long, he already knows the truth that all ants under the Heavenly Dao are ants. No matter how much if you cultivate to the world, what if you can turn the three thousand worlds upside down, as long as you don't ascend, you will die under the Heavenly Tribulation at any time.
Only by attaining the ascension of the golden body can one get out of the category of monks, truly be free, live together in heaven and earth, and be at ease.
can be commensurate with the little monk as a double monk, even if it is fake, it can't stop him from being happy.
Merely......
Sure enough, it's the black one who is close to ink, and the monks of the snow sand world under this season's rest control zhì are all so annoying!
"Senior ......"
"Little monk, you don't have to say it again." Wen Chunxiang's cold voice came, "This seat is not going to be angry about such a trivial matter. "He's just putting on some disguise, so that he won't be recognized by these ordinary people.
"Yes." Xie Zhenghong naturally didn't say anything more.
Although these monks are right about one thing.
Senior, it is indeed a peony.
"Is enough gossip? Isn't this test more neat than whose mouth is sharper? Wen Chunxiang glanced at the monks and said sarcastically.
"I think you are not far behind." One of the monks led by him turned around Xie Zhenghong a few times before he looked back at Wen Chunxiang and said, "When this gate opens, you can naturally go in one by one." ”
The test site in Yilu City is actually a bottomless mountain.
The mountain is surrounded by countless formations, the clouds are misty, but on both sides of the ridge, there are chains across the heavens and the earth, it looks as if someone has locked this mountain here with a heavenly means.
Wen Chunxiang glanced at the mountain lightly, and didn't seem to take it to heart.
Seeing this, some monks outside the screen couldn't help but come out with a little sourness, "Old guy, you have a lot of things, and the Smoke and Rain Lock Spirit Array has come out." There are fewer and fewer people who complain about this guò test, and why are you setting up roadblocks and hurdles here? ”
When the middle-aged Taoist heard this, he smiled a little crampedly, "It's all the city lord's orders." ”
Everyone moved their eyes to Gong Zixuan on the stage.
Gong Zixuan nodded briskly, "Yes, I told him to do it." ”
"The lord of the city is wise."
"The city lord is thoughtful."
The corners of the middle-aged Taoist's mouth twitched, these people were no worse than him when they patted their ass. 、
Gong Zixuan laughed, he didn't have a hobby of casually devouring or refining his subordinates as objects at every turn like other city lords, but these subordinates still often slapped some sycophants that made people laugh and cry.
However, his attention at the moment was not on these people, on the contrary, the two people in the screen looked a little strange.
The Smoke and Rain Locking Spirit Array is not as nice as its name. The so-called Smoke and Rain Locking Spirit Array is actually a spell that imprisons the creatures in the mountain and turns them into used spells, which is high in cost and slow in effect, but once formed, it is extremely powerful. Coupled with these two deliberately made huge iron chains, they often attract the attention of many monks. But in fact, the chain is just a camouflage.
But the two demon Buddha watches named Hua Xiang and Wen Hong are different.
It's like...... It's not weird.
That's a surprise.
The two of them had never been to this test site before, and this Smoke Cloud Locking Spirit Array had only recently been completely completed, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't have seen it. In other worlds, this formation has always been regarded as a malevolent and mutilating technique. Ordinary formations consume spirit stones, but this formation consumes the vitality of the creatures in the mountains. Often, once the formation is formed, the creatures in this mountain, whether it is a demon beast or a spirit plant, will slowly lose their vitality, and finally turn into a barren mountain. The monks who stepped into this room were powerful in the merger period, and they had to be prepared to deal with it.
However, the most important thing in their little demon world is that kind of amazing talent.
The outside world is often rampant in the way of immortals and Buddhas, but it delays countless good seedlings. A few days ago, he also heard that when the city lord of Wenhong City, who ranked third, was out traveling, he saw a sword cultivator with an innate demon body, and he immediately knocked people unconscious and carried them back.
The innate demon body was almost born for demon cultivation, and even among these ninety-nine cities, there were only a few people who had such an innate demon cultivation physique. This Wenhong City Lord is one of them. I heard that he had always wanted to find someone with the same qualifications as him as an apprentice, and now that he finally saw him, he naturally refused to let it go.
Just kidding, it's a tyrannical thing for such a talented person to go to the Immortal Dao Sword Cultivator!
Gong Zixuan retracted his thoughts, and casually ordered a subordinate to call the three demon cultivators outside their city who were going to participate in the competition to watch them.
If he hadn't had a hunch, he would have been able to gather five of them in no time.
"Daye Mountain has opened, the trial has begun, whether you live or die, please bear it yourself." An old voice rang out.
Then the huge stone gate in front of the mountain slowly opened, and a greasy breath of blood suddenly rushed out.
"It's disgusting." Wen Chunxiang said in disgust, "Little monk, don't smell it, it seems that this test really wants people to die endlessly." ”、
As soon as Wen Chunxiang's words fell, Xie Zhenghong noticed that the eyes of the monks around him suddenly turned red, as if they were attracted by the smell, and the demonic qi on the whole person was also a lot heavier.
"This is also one of the effects of the Smoke and Rain Locking Spirit Array, it will make the monks who enter extremely excited, especially for demon cultivators, it is easier to get excited, and cultivating the refining tools here will be miraculous, but afterwards it ...... It depends on whether your longevity is long enough. ”
There is no good thing in the world that is not earned for nothing, and this is especially true in the practice.
How much you eat, how much time you have to spend to digest afterwards. Unless you have merit and luck to help you offset such a process, it will seem that some people are progressing exceptionally smoothly.
The Smoke and Rain Locking Spirit Array has borrowed from this and improved its efficiency by transferring consumption through guò, but some of it will also be eaten back into the monks themselves. If you boil it out, your cultivation will rise a lot, but if you don't boil it out, you can only become a few wisps of this greasy blood and be absorbed by the next person.
The reason why Gong Zixuan spent so much effort to get such a formation was precisely because he hoped that the cultivation of the monks who came over for testing could be improved by a grade.
Anyway, only a few people who go to the test can survive safely, so it's better to directly consume your Shouyuan and let you have superior force first. In this way, even if someone in their Yilu City really won the first place in this formation in the end, and even defeated him to become the new city lord, he didn't have to worry. Because soon, the new city lord will run out of life and accompany him to Huangquan together!
"The little monk understands." Xie Zhenghong had already sensed that something was wrong when he came in, and he didn't absorb these blood qi. However, the blood qi around the seniors seems to have begun to disappear, this is ......
"I consumed a little demonic energy last time I bloomed, so I just replenished it this time." Wen Chunxiang's lazy voice came, "Anyway, the next time you bloom, you don't have to hold it back." ”
Xie Zhenghong smiled faintly and did not refuse.
This scene fell in Wen Chunxiang's eyes, but he felt that he had suffered a loss.
Should I really show those demon cultivators who have no eyes what the ascetic and holy monk is like in their eyes?
Ahem, that is, think about it.
Wen Chunxiang said secretly, he wouldn't let the little monk be seen by others.
As soon as all the monks involved in the test entered, the gate behind them completely disappeared, and countless blood-colored mist struck, and the blood was clouded, and it was impossible to tell when and where they were. Even the monks within one step of themselves could not see clearly, and the divine sense became useless.
Some people tried to use magic weapons to dispel these blood qi, but it didn't work at all. And after inhaling these blood gases, the body did not feel any discomfort, so I had to give up.
After less than a moment, the blood gradually dissipated.
Xie Zhenghong found that there was no one around him, only a strange cicada chirp sounded from time to time.
"Senpai, Senpai?" Xie Zhenghong tried to contact Wen Chunxiang.
"Let's split up for now." Wen Chunxiang replied slowly.
Xie Zhenghong had no choice but to respond.
Wen Chunxiang quietly looked at the empty place and laughed silently.
Those monks laughed at him before, and they coveted his little monk, right?
Now that the little monk is gone, he's welcome!
Xie Zhenghong began to walk slowly along the mountain road, the sky was always gray, there was no sun or moon, and he looked very depressed. What's even more strange is that there is no human figure in this mountain, obviously there are cicadas in his ears, but he doesn't see a single cicada.
If it's a fantasy, it's a bit weird.
The things in this little demon world really have some doorways.
"Is it a space formation?" This Smoke Cloud Locking Spirit Array has just been completed now, and at this moment, the middle-aged Daoist is also seeing the scene inside for the first time.
By the time the blood mist appeared, the monks who had participated in the test had already begun to be teleported. The area and scene where everyone is located is exactly the same. Presumably, this is the case when using the mirror formation method when doing these areas.
"It's the same scene to see the difference, isn't it?" Gong Zixuan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and said with a smile, "As long as you don't die, the hand cultivation that comes out of here will definitely rise a lot." ”
"City Lord, three messengers are here." The subordinate ran up in small steps and said.
"Let them in." Gong Zixuan bowed slightly.
Three more people appeared in the hall.
One looked like no more than a teenager, carrying a huge stone hammer behind him, and looked very innocent with a smile. But the monks present all knew that this young man had only become like this because of some special spell, and his original body was already an old man who did not die, and he had suffered several losses, so how could he dare to underestimate him.
"No wonder the city lord invited us over today, it turned out to be a good show." When the young man saw the scene on the eight-treasure screen, his eyes lit up.
"Yu Ze, Daoyou, please take a seat." Gong Zixuan was very polite to the young man Yu Ze, and the other two who followed were not unhappy at all. Everyone can see that this Yu Ze is the trump card of this Yilu City, and he is the one who may lead them to survive the big battle in the end.
Yu Ze hung cross-legged in the air, and the stone hammer drooped just when it touched the surface of the chair, so he was sitting.
"Ye Lan Ye Purple Daoyou, please also take a seat." Gong Zixuan raised his eyebrows and said.
The other two monks were a double monk.
The young man is called Night Blue, and the woman with the young woman's hair style is called Night Purple.
There are few ugly people among the monks, but this couple is different.
Just look at half of their faces, they are definitely handsome men and beautiful women, but the other half of their faces have no skin and flesh at all, only half of the skull.
"The lord of the city is polite." Ye Lan helped Ye Zi to sit down in front of Yu Ze, not caring about the gazes of the other monks.
Just looking at the entanglement of these two people, they are also a loving couple. But since the two of them have become guests of Yilu City, their origins are naturally clear and clear.
This Night Purple and Night Blue were originally monks of the Demon Night Mountain, and almost all the disciples there took Night as their surname, and only the elders and disciples who were valued could take the name of the color. This Ye Zi should have been the master of this Ye Lan, and she was the double cultivator of Ye Lan's master and the head of the Demon Night Mountain. But he didn't want Master Lan to be seriously injured by his own Taoist companion during the retreat this night, and his Taoist companion and disciple joined forces to betray him, wanting to seize the control of this Demon Night Mountain.
The head of the Demon Night Mountain fought with his last strength to repel the two of them, carved a spell on their faces that could not be recovered, and passed the position of head to his junior brother before he died. The junior brother took over the position of head and immediately issued an order to hunt down and kill the two.
Ye Lan and Ye Zi had no way to ask for help, so they arrived in Yilu City and wanted to borrow the hand of the city lord of Yilu City in exchange for peace. Later, they teamed up with Tongguò to test and became the guest of honor in Yilu City. Gong Zixuan personally went to the Demon Night Gate to talk to the head of the sect, and postponed their wanted warrants for twenty years. If you have any grievances, you have to wait until the end of the hundred-year-old fight.
At least in Yilu City, they can stay in peace and stability for twenty years, and if they survive the big fight and get a reward to return to the Demon Night Mountain, there is still a glimmer of life. If they don't fight, they will soon die at the hands of those fellow disciples.
"Is this pair of men the monks?" Ye Zi stretched out his hand and pointed to Xie Zhenghong and Wen Chunxiang on the screen and asked.
When they came, they had already received the news from the mouths of the subordinates, and the positions of these two people in the screen were deliberately placed in the middle, and they understood a little bit in their hearts.
"It seems that there is no official double cultivation ceremony, and they don't have the mark of an official Taoist couple." A monk interjected.
Ye Zi didn't look at the monk who answered, and smiled to herself, "It's all very handsome, such a person shouldn't be a monk in the first place, and it's good to be a demon Buddha now." "As for the double cultivation mark, hahaha, not to mention the demon cultivators who are already very suspicious, even those immortal cultivators will not be happy to carve such a memory on their bodies. There are many double cultivation ceremonies, but they are not imprinted.
To put it mildly, once the mark is engraved, it is much more difficult for them to provoke others to hunt for beauty.
Most of the monks, who are a little ashamed, are still reluctant to provoke those monks who have already been marked.
"Their cultivation seems to have been hidden." Yu Ze quietly looked at Xie Zhenghong and Wen Chunxiang, and suddenly said loudly, "It should be a merger period, a cultivation that is about to merge, it's not bad." ”
After all, the monks in the middle and late stages of the merger can already challenge the position of the city lord.
Yu Ze was able to be respected in this Yilu City, and it was inseparable from the fact that he was a monk in the merger period.
As for Ye Lan and Ye Zi, although they are monks at the peak of the Transformation of Gods, they are originally from the same sect, and they have become Taoist couples, and the spells they use when they are together are even more powerful than ordinary monks in the Merge Period.
"If nothing else, the winners of this test will probably be the two of them." Gong Zixuan nodded and said, "It's just that the specifics depend on their appearance." ”
When it came to this, the three of them stopped laughing.
At the time of the big fight, there must be five people in each city, and it is not just personal cultivation that is tested. If your teammates die at the beginning, the people behind will be very difficult, and tacit understanding is naturally essential. And this is the time for them to get to know the depth of their monks.
Wen Chunxiang walked and walked, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly turned sideways, and the invisible wind flashed, and a strand of hair was shaved off. And a large tree in the distance was also cut off by the waist and fell down with a bang.
"That's it?" Wen Chunxiang sighed slightly, bent down and picked up his hair.
Originally, he could have avoided it, but considering his current disguise, he still couldn't express Xiàn's so smooth.
He looked up at the mountains around him and began to walk towards the highest mountain.
Along the way, Wen Chunxiang experienced at least dozens of similar attacks, sometimes wind, sometimes demon beasts. But the only thing they have in common is that they are breathless and voiceless.
No, you can't say that.
It's not that they don't have sound and breath, it's that the mountain hides the sound and breath for them, so they seem invisible.
With such a chaotic attack, with the ability of the little monk, it is estimated that he will not be able to do anything to him.
Thinking of this, Wen Chunxiang also had the heart to play slowly with these people.
When he was only a few steps away from the mountain, Wen Chunxiang stopped and began to set up a simple formation on the ground.
Isn't it just a space formation, it seems to be difficult to say!
Look at the other side.
Many of the monks had been left missing arms and legs by these sudden and shadowless attacks.
They have played out talismans and magic weapons, and even sent many puppets to explore the way. However, it didn't work, the golems on the front foot walked a safe path, and they would still be attacked on the back foot.
After a period of time, a number of monks had been dismantled, and their bodies were quickly buried in the ground and disappeared without a trace.
And such a scene fell in the eyes of the monks outside the screen, it was these monks who walked well, and suddenly the whole person was divided by the five horses, and even Yuan Ying died without having time to wail.
Even through the screen, it makes people shudder.
If it's a kind of attack, I'm afraid they won't be afraid yet. But such an unknown attack method is really difficult for them to understand.
In contrast, Hua Xiang and Wen Chunxiang are mavericks.
"This Hua Xiang seems to be a master of formation, I'm afraid I can see some ways." A monk who was proficient in the formation stood up and couldn't help but appreciate, "At this moment, he is setting up a small spatial transfer array, if the old man is not mistaken, when this formation is completed, those invisible attacks will be transferred to other places by this spatial formation." In this way, he no longer has any worries. In the early stage, he also contained a certain rhythm when avoiding those attacks, thinking that it was a special footwork, but it was a bit like the Buddhist mastery Bodhi hidden step, which was very mysterious, and I didn't want to see it in this person. ”
"Being able to stop and place this formation on the spot in front of this big mountain, this Hua Xiang is not so arrogant and reckless."
Yu Ze and Gong Zixuan laughed together.
"He is the monk of the Merge Period, how can he be really naïve and ignorant?"
As soon as these words came out, the demon cultivators present were a little stunned.
Before, Yu Ze only said that one of these two people was in the merge period and the other was about to merge, and they all subconsciously regarded this Hua Xiang as the one who was about to merge into the phase. It's not that this Hua Xiang doesn't look like a monk in the merger period, but compared to Wen Hong on the other side, he seems to pay too much attention to ingenuity.
Seeing the scene on this screen, Gong Zixuan also felt a little incomprehensible, "Maybe...... This Wen Hong also has some special skills. ”
I don't know how this man did it.
Xie Zhenghong in the screen walked all the way, without beating around the bush, and not even flashing on the left and right like Wen Chunxiang. Instead, those invisible attacks all avoided this Xie Zhenghong, and they all took a detour from his side.
Xie Zhenghong climbed to the top of the mountain smoothly, and the stone gate appeared in front of him.
…… Is this a pass?
Xie Zhenghong was a little confused.
"Could it be that the trial hasn't started yet?" Xie Zhenghong muttered to himself.
Monk outside the screen: ......
No, it's over!
