Chapter Twenty-Three: The Trial Meeting, Killing the Twin Heroes (Part II)
Zhang Muhai's eyes were burning, and he glared at Jiang Yunqi and said: "If you really win, Lao Tzu will be convinced, and I am willing to lose the bet!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Muhai said sincerely, Jiang Yunqi's eyes flashed with warmth, but what he said was a refusal: "If you don't try, how do you know if you can't do it?" ”
"You!" Zhang Muhai frowned and shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, and laughed: "Hey, you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts!" ”
Jiang Yunqi's figure froze.
Zhang Muhai laughed, slapped Jiang Yunqi on the shoulder, and said, "That's it, if you really want to try, it's better to hit that Wu Ran first." Wu Ran only defends and does not attack, maybe you have a chance to win. ”
Jiang Yunqi nodded, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
Fight Wu Ran first, even if you don't win, you won't be hurt, and you can continue to challenge Li Konghua.
"I mean it...... really" Zhang Muhai suddenly smiled and said, "I have always remembered the grace of your gift of stone that day." What I said today, there is no half-truth, then Li Konghua's strength is outstanding, if you face him, you can't beat him, just pass out the formation quickly. ”
"Thank you." Jiang Yunqi smiled in his eyes, changed his words, and asked, "By the way, you just said so many things, why didn't you mention 'Lao Tzu'?" ”
"Lao Tzu ......" Zhang Muhai opened his mouth and was about to continue, but he heard Jiang Yunqi say with a smile: "How old are you, you are Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu." ”
Zhang Muhai snorted, his eyes flashed slightly, and said: "Every time I shout 'Lao Tzu', I feel that I am very powerful, and there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Jiang Yunqi choked, smiled and asked, "Who taught you?" ”
Zhang Muhai shook his head and said: "No one teaches, people in the town always bullied my mother in the past, I was young at that time, and I was very scared." Then one day, a meaty hunter came to the town, and he always added 'Lao Tzu' to his words. The people in the town were afraid of him, so I learned from him to call himself 'Lao Tzu'. ”
Jiang Yunqi was slightly stunned, he only knew that Zhang Muhai's mother was seriously ill. Now that I hear it, I'm afraid that Zhang Muhai is also a person with a rough background.
The young man who walked out of the town, in order to cure his mother's serious illness, resolutely worshiped the mountain gate.
Jiang Yunzhen sighed lowly, if it weren't for the fact that Mu Hai's face was too ugly, it would almost be a typical template for the male protagonist in mortal counterattack flow novels.
Glancing at Zhang Muhai inadvertently, Jiang Yunqi suddenly realized that he hadn't actually looked at Zhang Muhai's appearance in detail.
After a quick glance that day, I only remembered that Zhang Muhai's face was immature, but most of his face was bearded, which looked extremely weird.
"Huh?" Jiang Yunqi's gaze froze, fell on Zhang Muhai's side face, and suddenly raised his hand and gently tugged it.
Zhang Muhai's body was shocked, he suddenly took a step back, and asked with wide eyes, "What are you doing?" ”
Jiang Yunqi looked at the "beard" that was torn off by himself in his hand, and said in a strange tone: "It turns out that you ......"
Zhang Muhai rubbed his hand on his face, and his body stiffened slightly.
Jiang Yunqi couldn't help but ask: "Your beard, shouldn't you also learn from that Orion?" ”
Zhang Muhai waved his hand, a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Naturally not." ”
Jiang Yunqi saw that Zhang Muhai didn't want to say much, so he stopped talking. His eyes flickered and swept over Zhang Muhai's face.
Without that strange beard, he could see Zhang Muhai's face clearly.
Zhang Muhai's face is angular, and a pair of thick eyebrows reveal a sassy and heroic spirit, but Jiang Yunqi always feels that his appearance is familiar.
Just when Jiang Yunqi was thoughtful, Zhang Muhai lowered his head and looked at the beard he was pinching in his hand, and his face became more and more cold and hard.
In fact, the reason why he wears a beard is all for his mother.
His mother was delirious, and always whispered to him on weekdays: "Like, too similar...... No, you're not him, Shao Yuan's face has a beard, not as white as you......"
Later, when he saw that his mother was thinking about that "Shaoyuan" every day, he looked for some castor beans and made a pair of beards to stick to his face, and sure enough, his mother saw him and immediately showed joy. He said in a loud voice: "You're finally here, I know you're coming......"
Although he is not very old, he can vaguely guess that "Shao Yuan" may be the person who abandoned his mother's negative heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Muhai clenched his fists, he is just a handyman now, but one day he will worship the outer door and then enter the inner door. When he becomes an immortal, he will be able to cure her mother, and he will dig three feet into the ground to find the person with a negative heart and make him pay the price.
"Hmm......" Jiang Yunqi suddenly groaned, he looked at Zhang Muhai, and finally understood who Zhang Muhai's appearance was similar to.
Xie Changheng.
Jiang Yunqi read this name in his heart, his eyes fell on Zhang Muhai, and he felt that he looked three or four points similar to that Xie Changheng, but the two had completely different temperaments, and if you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to tell them.
Jiang Yunqi's mind turned slightly, and he exhaled softly.
There are so many similar people in this world, maybe it's just a coincidence.
At this moment, a distant bell suddenly sounded in the distance.
Hearing this bell, Zhang Muhai waved away the thoughts in his heart and said loudly: "It's the bell that the trial begins, let's go back." ”
When the two men came to the front of the temple, they went their separate ways.
Jiang Yunqi walked to Shen Junyuan's side and carefully analyzed the combat power of Li Konghua, Wu Ran, and Zhang Muhai.
Shen Junyuan retracted his gaze at Zhang Muhai and said lightly, "What are your plans?" ”
Jiang Yunqi groaned and said, "I want to fight Wu Ran first." ”
Shen Junyuan nodded, and suddenly pinched Jiang Yunqi's hand, and a slightly cool bead rolled down into Jiang Yunqi's hand.
"Within the formation, you can't use the Hidden Magic Weapon. You can put away this 'Wind Shifting Bead'. If you are defeated, you will fight and retreat. If it really doesn't work, the formation will be transmitted, don't be strong. ”
Listening to Shen Junyuan's words, Jiang Yunqi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were shining: "I am seven points sure of this battle." ”
"Oh?" Shen Junyuan looked sideways at Jiang Yunchi, but saw that he had changed his previous Qingjun smile, and there was a cunning look hidden in his smile.
"I'm leaving!" Jiang Yunqi waved his hand at Shen Junyuan, and then walked towards the entrance of the formation.
The entrance to the formation is on a cold stone, and the method of entering is similar to when entering the stone tablet in Jiangjiazhai before. Jiang Yunqi wrote his name on the roster, and did not rush into the formation, but found a hidden place and drew the long sword behind him.
He raised his hand, and a little flame escaped from his fingertips, quickly dissolving the long sword into a notch. Jiang Yunqi picked up the "Wind Shifting Bead" between his two fingers and embedded it on the long sword.
Raising his hand and gently rubbing the sword body, the corners of Jiang Yunqi's mouth hooked up a smile. The bead that Shen Junyuan gave him, he had another wonderful use. If used properly, this battle can be won!
Inserting the sword back into its scabbard, Jiang Yunqi raised his feet and walked towards the entrance of the formation.
At this point, the handyman challenge has failed and has been teleported back. One of them wept and cursed in a low voice, "That man is really a turtle with a shrunken head, and as soon as he entered, he used a strange trick to wrap his body in a stone shell. I stabbed left and right, and I couldn't do anything about the stone shell. ”
Hearing this, a round-faced man among the onlookers burst into laughter. He slapped the young man beside him and said in a rough voice: "I'll just say it, every year, these new recruits don't believe in evil, but have to struggle." This person insisted on not leaving the formation until the end of the trial, so you should give me the flint quickly! ”
The young man beside him wept and took out a flint and handed it to the round-faced man. Although they can't participate in the trial again, they will come here every year to have fun at the trial meeting. The first is to see if anyone can win the guardian of the Three Holy Lands, and the second is to make a small bet and take the opportunity to earn some flint.
The round-faced man took the flint with a smile and asked with a thief's eyes, "Zhou Kang, are you still gambling?" ”
Zhou Kang gritted his teeth and nodded: "I still bet this time, the challenger will choose to pass out the formation within a cup of tea." ”
The round-faced man clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" ”
While the two were talking, Jiang Yunqi had already pushed through the crowd and chose to enter the central formation.
Jiang Yunqi only felt a light under his feet, and the next moment, the whole person was like falling into the clouds.
When his feet touched the ground again, Jiang Yunqi opened his eyes.
It was a claustrophobic space, surrounded by a mixture of smoke. Jiang Yunqi closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already full of determination.
This formation is specially designed for people to fight, and only when the two people who are fighting have stood still, the smoke will disappear. This short moment of smoke can often make the person fighting the law ready to face the battle.
Suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the earth, the clouds dispersed, and a trace of awe-inspiring color flashed in Jiang Yunqi's eyes.
Opposite him, there was a thin young man, who was Wu Ran.
Jiang Yunqi raised his eyebrows, and seeing that Wu Ran was about to urge the "Shi Xiangzhu" in his hand, a deep smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He just stood still, motionless, not even the sword behind him.
Wu Ran's expression froze slightly.
He fought hundreds of battles, and everyone who came to challenge him rushed towards him like a tiger pounced on him, trying to defeat him before he could wrap himself in a stone shell.
But Jiang Yunqi ...... He didn't even move a step!
His brows furrowed slightly, Wu Ran's gaze locked tightly on Jiang Yunqi's figure, and his mind turned sharply.
Concealed magic weapons are not allowed in the formation, and no matter how fast Jiang Yunqi moves, it is impossible to defeat him before he completely opens the stone phase.
The "Stone Bead" was constantly urging in his hand, and seeing that his entire body had been covered by a layer of cold hard stone, Wu Ran's heart was slightly relieved.
He sneered in his heart, Jiang Yunqi was probably so frightened that he couldn't move his feet, so much so that he thought Jiang Yunqi had some tricks.
Wu Ran raised his head, the stone layer covered his face, and with three more breaths, he would be able to survive this competition safely.
Bite.
A sound of Qingyue's sword sounded, and it turned out to be Jiang Yunqi who drew his sword.
Wu Ran's gaze fell on Jiang Yunqi's sword, and his pupils suddenly shrank!
Is that......
Wu Ran looked at the beads embedded in Jiang Yunqi's sword in disbelief, the surface of the beads was full of brilliance, faintly revealing a blue light, and it was an extraordinary product at first glance.
Jiang Yunqi held the sword and stood in place and looked at Wu Ran quietly, until Wu Ran's whole body was wrapped in stone layers and completely turned into a stone man, then he smiled loudly and said, "Wu Ran, for you, I spent a lot of money refining this 'Broken Solid Pearl'!" ”
Wu Ran thundered in his head, and almost subconsciously clenched his fists. At this moment, his body has been completely wrapped in the stone layer, and as long as he does not remove the "Stone Phase Pearl", this stone layer will not disappear.
However, sweat was faintly oozing from Wu Ran's forehead, and he said coldly: "Ignorant child, that broken solid bead is a masterpiece in a magic weapon, you are afraid that you have deceived someone!" ”
Jiang Yunqi walked slowly, reading out a few names at random.
Every time he pronounced a name, Wu Ran's heart sank even more. On that day, he happened to get a senior's refining codex, from which he learned the method of making zuò, a defensive magic weapon, "Shixiangzhu". But below the method of making zuò, the senior wrote this line of words: All things in the world are mutually restrictive. Although the stone phase is thick and difficult to attack, it is no match for the method of breaking the strong. Now the method of refining the broken beads is recorded here, and future generations can learn from it to make up for the incompleteness of the stone beads.
With Wu Ran's qualifications, he naturally didn't know how to complete it, but he still engraved the refining method of breaking the solid pearl in his mind.
At this moment, listening to Jiang Yunqi say slowly, it was exactly the same as the refining method that the predecessor said, Wu Ran was very anxious.
But he had been through a hundred battles, and soon calmed down and lay quietly under the stone layers.
Jiang Yunqi walked to his side, and suddenly drew his long sword and slashed at the stone layer. This split almost consumed most of the spiritual energy in his body, but only a shallow mark was cut on the stone phase.
Jiang Yunqi restrained his breath and did not show any tiredness.
At this time, it was difficult for Jiang Yunqi to swing a sword with comparable strength, so he moved the tip of the sword lightly and pointed it to the ground.
Little by little, he rubbed the tip of his sword against the ground, and said coldly: "I forgot, since this sword is inlaid with broken beads, why should I slash vigorously, as long as I cut the ...... so gently."
Saying this, Jiang Yunchi's voice became lower and lower, as if talking to himself.
Click.
Jiang Yunqi held the sword and rubbed it slowly on the ground, while Wu Ran, who was lying in the stone phase, was already in a cold sweat.
Although his defenses are strong, he has the disadvantage of being in the middle of it, and he can't see the outside at all. And once the stone is formed, it will be difficult for the body to move a bit.
Wu Ran, who was in the dark, only felt that everything around him fell into an extreme calm.
The silence was mixed with the terrible sound of cutting.
Seeing that Wu Ran was silent, Jiang Yunqi rubbed the ground with his sword and said slowly: "Just cut it so slowly, you say, when will I cut your neck." Hey, it's still a little bit, don't rush, let's take it slowly, slowly. ”
Wu Ran only felt a chill in his neck.
He almost wanted to scold.
If Jiang Yunqi slashed directly, he could still feel how many attacks this stone phase had withstood and how long it could last.
But Jiang Yunqi ...... him He's actually mowing slowly!
Wu Ran listened to the movement of the outside world with bated breath, and only felt that the cutting sound seemed to be in his ears.
This extreme torture made his heartstrings tight, as if in the next moment, this stone layer would be cut, and his neck would be cut by the sword.
It can't go on like this.
