Chapter 46: Two Choices
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
The person who came was dressed in a gray robe and wore a mask on his face, and it was You Xiao.
You Xiao walked up to the two of them and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever heard of a man named Zhang ......?"
"Zhang?" Jiang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask what Zhang was, but he saw You Xiao's figure flickering and almost fell.
You Xiao finally stood still, looked up and saw Jiang Yunqi and Shen Junyuan, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
Jiang Yunqi waited for a while, but he didn't see You Xiao speak, so he had to ask, "You just asked me, have you ever heard of a person called Zhang ......?"
You Xiao was stunned and said, "Zhang Qi." ”
Jiang Yunqi thought about it for a while, Zhang Qi's name was extremely ordinary, and there was a person in the miscellaneous courtyard who was called this name. He already had the intention to contact You Xiao to explore the truth, so he smiled slightly at this moment and said, "I do know a person named Zhang Qi, but I don't know if it is the one you are looking for." ”
You Xiao shook his head and said, "That's it." I haven't seen you for many years, and I am speechless when I see each other, thank you very much! ”
Seeing You Xiao walking away, Jiang Yunqi had doubts in his heart.
When You Xiao asked him at first, his tone clearly revealed nervousness and expectation. Later, I heard him say that he knew Zhang Qi, but he suddenly became calm and indifferent.
On the other side of the mountain road.
You Xiao exhaled a long breath, his body tilted, and the whole person sat down on the ground.
There was a blank look in his eyes, and after a long time, a little light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He reached for his neck.
There was a small white jade bottle hanging there, and on the bottle, a small word "An" was written.
Bottle safety, peace.
You Xiao stretched out two fingers and gently rubbed the white jade vial, on the body of the bottle, there was gradually a brilliance flowing, but in a moment, a little light burst out and fell between You Xiao's eyebrows.
"You Xiao. Cloud Mirror Sect. Zhang Muhai. ”
This vial is actually a magic weapon that can retain information.
You Xiao silently recited these words, and the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated.
His gaze shifted downwards to another line of words.
"Know the past, look at the future, and forget the present."
With a shock to his body, You Xiao sighed slightly.
As a celestial being, he can know the past and deduce the future, but he is powerless to get rid of the dilemma of forgetting the present.
Just now, as he was talking, his mind suddenly went blank, he couldn't remember who he was, why he was here, he couldn't remember where he was, and he couldn't even forget what he said a moment ago.
You Xiao was stunned as he sensed the information that jumped into his eyebrows.
It turned out that his name was You Xiao. came to the Cloud Mirror Sect to find a person named Zhang Muhai.
But Zhang Muhai, who is it?
You Xiao closed his eyes slightly, and under the vast night, a little star flashed. And between the two fingers of Youxiao, it seems to be a burst of starlight.
A steady stream of information poured into You Xiao's mind, and what he did and wanted to do every day on weekdays, he would record it in this white jade bottle.
But the strange thing is that day by day, day by day, the beginning of each day is written: You Xiao. Cloud Mirror Sect. Zhang Muhai. It was as if this was something he would never forget in his life.
A dark cloud drifted by, obscuring the remnants of the stars in the sky.
The light that spread out between Youxiao's fingers became weaker and weaker, and finally dissipated. You Xiao opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the white bottle on his chest, and he shook his head helplessly.
Nothing.
Except for the three words Zhang Muhai, You Xiao didn't find anything.
He smiled slightly bitterly: I let him know that he is here to seek revenge or to repay his kindness.
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of footsteps.
You Xiao looked up and saw that the person came from the void, and his cultivation was extremely high.
I thought about it, but I couldn't remember who this person was.
Xiao Suhe stopped in front of You Xiao, remembered the words of the head of the sect, his face softened a little, and said, "You Xiao, the head wants to see you, you come with me." ”

Seven days later.
At this moment, the morning light on the horizon is beginning to bloom, although the red sun has not appeared, the sky in the distance has been covered with the morning glow.
Jiang Yunqi and Shen Junyuan hid in the crowd and walked towards the place where the martial arts were tested.
Along the way, Jiang Yunqi paid close attention, and at this time, his lips were gently pursed, and the color of contemplation flashed under his eyes.
He didn't even see Youxiao.
On that day, You Xiao could not enter the illusion realm, and Xiao Su He did not ask whether You Xiao was counted as Tongguò, nor did he know if You Xiao was still in the mountains.
But now it's not the most important thing.
Jiang Yunqi's gaze fell lightly on the teenagers around him.
The crowd seemed to move forward in a chaotic manner, but in fact, the surrounding teenagers consciously avoided him and Shen Junyuan.
In addition to the two of them, Jiang Chengyu, who was not far away, was also walking alone. Although there were teenagers passing by together, they all deliberately slowed down their pace and did not approach Jiang Chengyu.
After a little thought, Jiang Yunqi guessed the thoughts of those teenagers.
Martial arts test, no matter what the form, must always be divided into winners and losers, and one, two, and three. Right now, he, Shen Junyuan, and Jiang Chengyu are all showing their superior strength at the First Pass of the Dao Test.
With this strength, if those teenagers fought them alone, it would be difficult for them to win.
Since you can't win, it's better to unite first, win a few people with superior strength, and then break the alliance and fight each other by means.
At this time, even if the fight is brutal, the opponents left behind are all at the same level as themselves, and at least there is a chance of victory.
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Yunqi sent a message to Shen Junyuan and said, "With your current strength, how many people can you fight at the same time?" ”
Shen Junyuan pondered.
In the martial arts test, he can't use the blood transformation technique, and he can't kill too ruthlessly, so his strength will be greatly damaged.
After a brief pause, Shen Junyuan said: "I can fight six people, but if it is against Jiang Chengyu like this, I can only fight one." ”
Jiang Yunqi nodded secretly. Although Shen Junyuan has many hole cards, they can't be put on the surface.
The four beads that Shen Junyuan gave him earlier have their own mysteries, but most of them are used for escape and reconnaissance.
With a turning magic weapon, there are very few attacks, and even if there is, there are many restrictions like thundering beads.
Therefore, most of the fights of monks still rely on body skills and the grasp of fighters.
Jiang Yunqi has been fighting against Shen Junyuan in the past few days, and both of these have improved a lot. But when it comes to full fighting, he can fight at most three people, not including Jiang Chengyu.
Looking around, there were at least two hundred teenagers participating in the martial arts test.
Jiang Yunqi's eyes were slightly gloomy.
As if feeling Jiang Yunqi's affection, Shen Junyuan immediately transmitted a message to him: "Are you worried that those teenagers will join forces to deal with us?" ”
Seeing Jiang Yunqi nodding, Shen Junyuan said again: "Don't be afraid." I'll find a way for them to go their separate ways. ”
Jiang Yunqi naturally believed what Shen Junyuan said.
It's just that he also secretly thinks in his heart, if it were him, he will come up with a way to break the deadlock in front of him.
The two of them walked a few more steps, and the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
A raised rock between the cliffs has been polished into a hexagonal platform. The six corners of the platform each stand an ancient beast stone carving.
Before he could take a closer look, a little blue light suddenly fell in the air, and a jade plaque floated in front of Jiang Yunqi.
Jiang Yunqi stretched out his hand to take it off, and as soon as he got his hand at the jade plate, Jiang Yunqi felt a pain in his palm, as if the true qi in his body was forcibly withdrawn by the jade card.
"This is the formation laid by Wuyun Zhenren back then, once the formation is opened, you will be passed into the Dao Mansion left by Wuyun Zhenren."
A deep voice sounded, it was Xiao Suhe.
"The Daofu has its own world, when Wuyun Zhenren refined the Daofu, he deliberately refined the scenery in the mansion into the appearance of the monsters invading Zhongzhou."
As soon as his words fell, the faces of the teenagers present changed.
In the literary test seven days ago, they had just learned the terrible scene of monsters rampant thousands of years ago, and now they wanted to experience it again.
"There is one thing you need to keep in mind. The Taoist Mansion is not an illusion, if you die inside, you are really dead. However, you have the jade plaque in your hand, as long as you crush it, you can leave the Taoist Mansion at any time. ”
The boys held the jade card tighter.
"In today's martial arts test, there are two ways to take the test."
"One is that you compete with each other, and the last three people who leave the Taoist Mansion are regarded as Tongguò assessments."
"One is that you work together to kill monsters. Kill the monster, and there will be a heroic righteousness in the Daofu. If you can make the demon beast surrender, then the mighty righteousness will condense a small building in the void. What kind of opportunities are hidden in the building, waiting for you to find them? All those who enter the building are considered to have passed the guò assessment. ”
Everyone's eyes flashed with blazing color.
Jiang Yunqi shook his head secretly.
There must be a lot of mystery in this opportunity, otherwise why would the Cloud Mirror Sect use the Dao Mansion of Wuyun Zhenren as a place for martial arts tests? Besides, the condition for opening the small building is to kill the demon beasts, if the Cloud Mirror Sect sends a few monks with advanced cultivation into the Dao Mansion, wouldn't it be easy to take away what Wuyun Zhenren left behind?
Just when everyone was looking forward to the opportunity of the small building, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed. The body of the stone beast on the side of the platform trembled, many stones fell from its body, and golden light shot out from the bottom of its eyes.
The light intertwined in the air, and suddenly a large golden net was weaved, enveloping the boys in between.
The golden light is gone, and the dust is returned to the ground.
In the dark night, a miserable white crescent moon hung high in the sky, emitting a faint and clear light. However, as soon as those lights fell into the mountains and forests, they were swallowed up by the towering trees, and the whole forest was like a dormant beast, opening its mouth like an abyss, devouring a single qiē between heaven and earth.
Jiang Yunqi looked forward.
The huge roots protrude from the surface of the earth, and the tendrils that grow from them alone are the thickness of an adult's arm.
More than 200 teenagers, standing in this dense forest, were as small as ants.
Jiang Yunqi's heart shook slightly.
Was this the world like this thousands of years ago?
Even ordinary trees can grow like this, so how terrifying will the beasts in the mountains and the birds in the sky be!
Just as all the teenagers were stunned, a figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd, then staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
The calm mountains and forests are like boiling hot water suddenly. The roots that had fallen quietly to the ground suddenly came to life, as if trembling arms were reaching out to the man who had fallen to the ground.
"These ...... These trees are living creatures! A frightened voice pierced the sky, and the teenagers subconsciously stepped back, but they were afraid that the movement would be too big and alarm the surrounding roots. For a while, his legs trembled, and his face turned pale.
Those roots, although they are not hideous beasts, are too numerous!
Jiang Yunqi's forehead jumped, but he didn't think about it, so he swung his sword and slashed at the roots on the ground.
He really couldn't figure out why Shen Junyuan suddenly ran out of the crowd!
"Don't panic, use fire."
A voice came into Jiang Yunqi's ears, and Shen Junyuan could still transmit the sound to him without hurrying at this time!
Jiang Yunqi drove the fire in his body, and the sword in his hand immediately glowed with clear fire.
Swinging the sword and slashing down, as soon as the fire of the sword body touched the roots, it burned those roots into ashes.
And the dancing roots around him, as if sensing the crisis, took the initiative to shrink back.
All of a sudden, the tide of battle was turned.
The panicked teenagers regained their senses, and their faces showed either amazement or shame.
Their cultivation time is not short, only then did they suddenly see the monster, but they only thought about saving their lives, and even forgot about the fire into the sword that they practiced every day.
The eyes of the teenagers fell on the two people not far away.
The man who rushed out was still lying on the ground, unable to see his face clearly.
But the one who later wielded a sword to save people was clearly Jiang Yunchi.
"Is it compassion...... everyone whispered in their hearts, and the words that Jiang Yunqi summoned that day suddenly appeared in their minds.
Everyone's quietly changing minds, Jiang Yunqi didn't know anything at this moment.
He pulled Shen Junyuan up without saying a word, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The two slowly walked towards the crowd.
When they got closer, someone exclaimed: "It was Shen Junyuan who fell!" ”
"Why did he rush out suddenly?"
In the midst of the discussions, Shen Junyuan's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and suddenly said loudly: "Fang Cai...... Someone pushed me. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were shaken.
Shen Junyuan, Jiang Yunqi, Jiang Chengyu, these three people are outstanding, but there are only three places in the martial arts test.
Therefore, everyone had some careful thoughts in their hearts, such as whether to join forces to win against Shen Junyuan and the three of them first. But bullying more and less can be described as a conspiracy.
And pushing people behind their backs is an extremely sinister and vicious scheme!
Cold sweat oozed from everyone's foreheads. Most of them were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they had not really gone to a treacherous place to train, so they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this cold forest for the first time.
If the person who was pushed was himself, I am afraid that if he was entangled by that beard, he would have been scared of the six gods. If the movement is slower, it will be tightly entangled by that whisker, but I am afraid that it will not even have time to crush the jade plate!
Thinking about it this way, everyone can be said to be in danger of themselves, but they are afraid that the sinister person is hiding near them.
After all, when everyone retreated, the crowd was chaotic, who knew where the person who pushed Shen Junyuan had gone at this time?
Shen Junyuan saw that the crowd was faintly scattered, and everyone was on guard, so he sent a message to Jiang Yunqi, saying that he pretended to be pushed in order to confuse people's hearts, so that everyone was like a plate of scattered sand, and they could no longer condense.
Jiang Yunqi's eyes sank, and he said, "If you had sued me earlier, I wouldn't have ......."
…… Don't worry so much.
This half of the words were swallowed back by Jiang Yunqi.
Shen Junyuan's hand in his sleeve suddenly tightened.
He suddenly remembered that when Jiang Yunqi pulled him up, his palms were wet and hot, and he was obviously sweating.
Shen Junyuan's mind moved slightly.
He always wanted to do something, and he did it. Even if it's a dangerous thing, he doesn't care, anyway, whether it's life or death, he can afford to gamble.
It never occurred to him that he would tell someone else what he thought.
Shen Junyuan was silent in thought, but Jiang Yunqi suddenly thought of a question.
The protagonist wants to mess with people by pushing people, and that's fine. But...... Shen Junyuan actually got on it himself?
With Shen Junyuan's ability, he can directly push others out, and he can also do it without leakage.
