Chapter 211: Spiritual Competition
The four of them arrived in front of the Vermilion Bird Palace, and after retreating, Chen An immediately found something to hold on to retch, although Xuanyuan Xing and Hao You were not as unbearable as Chen An, but they were also uncomfortable, their faces were pale, and their hair stood up high. Zhou Heng's face turned a little blue, and after cultivating all over his body, his face began to improve a little.
"What kind of supernatural power are you? Zhou Heng asked, "Lord Hui City, the villain's divine power is called a sundial, and it can control the time flow rate in a part of the body, and it was too tense just now, so it was misplaced." Hao You hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"Time is magical, this is rare. Zhou Heng nodded, as if he had thought of a position for Hao You. At this time, there was a noise in the hall, and when Zhou Heng heard it, he walked in with Chen An and the others without saying a word.
In the main hall, the crown prince sat on the main seat, holding his forehead and looking quite distressed, on the left hand side sat An Guo Gong Gu Chengfeng, and on the right hand side was the Nine Emperor Princes, who also recovered at this time. After seeing Chen An come in, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the prince beside him, and gradually disappeared, but the fist in his hand was clenched a little.
In the hall of the main hall, Gu Weiwu and Xie Tianhe didn't know what they were arguing about, and their faces were red and their necks were thick, and Chen An barely heard it when he got closer, it was originally the position of the vacant Vermilion Bird Inspector. Gu Weiwu thought that such a position should belong to his own Qilin son Gu Xianlin, but Xie Tianhe disagreed, he thought that even though Gu Xianlin was excellent, there were more suitable candidates.
"Then who is this more suitable person, you can find out and show me. Gu Weiwu pulled his neck and said in a loud voice, Xie Tianhe looked left and right, found Chen An in the crowd, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward and pulled him out in a few steps, "It's him, he's a more suitable person." ”
"It turned out to be you. Gu Weiwu glanced at Chen An carefully, remembering that he was the one who followed the prince when he entered the city, and he already had some guesses in his heart.
Chen An originally planned to come over to watch the excitement first, and then appear after understanding the situation clearly, but he didn't expect to be put on the shelves by Xie Tianhe as soon as he came. At the moment, he was helpless, and cast an inquiring glance at the prince, the prince bowed slightly, his eyes were full of encouragement, Chen An suddenly had confidence, and replied: "That's right, it's me." ”
"Hehe, how can you be compared with my family's immortal forest, and you are still fighting for the position of patrol envoy. Gu Weiwu saw some of Chen An's details, which can only be regarded as the cultivation in the early stage of entering the Xuan, and the root bones are not very good, and they are even a little broken. As for other aspects, it was even worse than Gu Xianlin, who immediately had confidence and said disdainfully.
When Chen An heard this, although he was very dissatisfied, but after thinking about it carefully, except for some hole cards that could not be exposed at will, he was indeed crushed by Gu Xianlin in all aspects. But this is a must not show cowardice, so he said: "Can it be compared, it's not just talking, it's about fighting for strength." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately laughed, Xie Tianhe hurriedly looked at the prince, he thought that the prince would let himself end up messing with Gu Weiwu, the purpose was to delay, buy some time for Chen An's arrival, and then use the prince's identity to exert pressure and forcibly push Chen An to the position of the patrol envoy. But now Chen An actually made this request, which is tantamount to giving up the inspector.
Zhou Heng's face was also a little ugly, he didn't think that Chen An was too weak, but that Gu Xianlin was too strong, and the name of the second person of the third generation of the Gu family was not called in vain. Xuanyuan Xing saw Zhou Heng's worries and comforted: "City Lord Zhou, don't worry, I fought with the kid surnamed Gu, so let's open it at five." ”
Hao You slandered in his heart: "Aren't you talking to anyone?"
Zhou Heng glanced back at Xuanyuan Xing deeply when he heard this, there was already a hint of approval in his eyes, and asked, "Is this true?" Xuanyuan Xing nodded: "I never lie to people, don't believe it, you send someone to ask the street tomorrow, there should be many people who see me fighting with the kid surnamed Gu." Zhou Heng nodded and asked, "Then you and Chen Anke have sparred." ”
Xuanyuan Xing nodded, "Well, it's also five-five." Hao You took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Heng's slightly stable face, and thought about it, it was better not to tell him the truth.
Gu Weiwu laughed and said, "Okay, boy, you are very courageous, I am optimistic about you." Then he turned to the prince and said respectfully: "What does His Royal Highness the prince think?" Xia Biao smiled slightly, did not answer, but looked at Chen An and asked: "Gu Xianlin is in the late stage of entering the Xuan Dynasty, close to the peak realm, a gun comes first, and the supernatural power of people follows the form, even the palace has to praise a few words, can you think about it." ”
Gu Xianlin frowned slightly, although the prince's words were obviously praising his exquisite marksmanship, but secretly he was warning Chen An not to fight easily, and pointed out to him Gu Xianlin's supernatural characteristics. In this way, it will be difficult for Gu Xianlin to achieve unexpected results in the competition.
Chen Anzhong had already thought about the content of the competition, and said confidently at the moment: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people have indeed thought about it, but what the grass people want to compare with Gu Xianlin is not supernatural powers, but something else." ”
Gu Weiwu sneered and said, "I know that you kid don't dare, but compared to others, you may not have a chance of winning." Chen An put his hands behind his back and chuckled: "That's not necessarily, I want to compare my spiritual power with Gu Xianlin", then looked at Gu Xianlin and said: "Presumably, with Brother Gu entering the late Xuan Dynasty, close to the peak realm, the spiritual power should also be very strong." ”
Chen An deliberately emphasized Gu Xianlin's realm cultivation in order to squeeze him, judging from his initial understanding of Gu Xianlin only a few times, with his proud character, he would not show timidity. "Okay, I'll test your mental strength. Sure enough, Gu Xianlin frowned slightly at first, and then agreed.
Chen An was overjoyed, there were three major thugs in his spiritual space, such as the White Jade Pixiu, the Green Light Cluster, and the Yin Demon, and even the White Tiger True Spirit who was guarding the White Tiger Hall was beaten and screamed by the three of them. He was confident that no matter how strong Gu Xianlin's spiritual power was, it would not be stronger than the spirit of the First Hall.
However, at this time, the Nine Emperor Princes suddenly spoke: "Gu Xianlin, this Chen An's spiritual power is not weak, he can compete with the White Tiger True Spirit of the White Tiger Palace, you have to be careful." Gu Weiwu's face changed when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "Boy, you are very calculating. ”
Chen An smiled, showed a kind smile, and replied: "That's not necessarily, my Guan brother's spiritual power is like a vast lake, compared to him, I am much smaller." When Gu Weiwu heard this, his face became even more unhappy, in the supernatural power realm, only the party with strong spiritual power has always been able to explore the specific realm of the weak side, Chen An's words are tantamount to showing off.
"The inspection envoy is an important official position that reaches the heavens, and he needs to deal with many affairs on weekdays, and after sorting out, he selects the most important points and presents them to the emperor. Therefore, strength is secondary, and the most important thing should be the control of spiritual power over small things and its own heritage, so as to deal with many affairs without making mistakes, so Lao Chen suggested that the content of Xianlin's competition with this son should start from these two aspects, rather than simply fighting with mental power. ”
Gu Chengfeng, who had never spoken, suddenly said to the prince, the prince pondered for a moment, and couldn't find anything wrong, so he had to nod and say, "An Guogong is very true. ”
Chen An heard Gu Chengfeng's suggestion, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, what he said was reasonable and well-founded, it seemed that he was trying to select the right candidate, and he did not favor anyone, but Chen An could come up with it with the soles of his feet. How could such an old fox say something that was not beneficial to him, so he looked at Gu Weiwu, and sure enough, he saw a smug smile on his face.
"Hmph, I'd like to see what tricks you can play. Chen An was confident, not very worried, although the width of his spiritual power was not as wide as Gu Xianlin, but in terms of strength and control, he still had a little confidence.
The prince asked Chen An and Gu Xianlin successively, and saw that neither of them had any objections, so he said: "In this case, this palace will tell you about the content of the competition." Then he gave a few orders to Zhou Heng beside him, Zhou Heng nodded, turned around and walked towards the back.
"The content of the competition is very simple, and it is divided into two parts. The first is to control 200 silk threads to pass through the pinhole at the same time, and the one who takes the least time is the winner, which tests your control of mental power. The second is to inject spiritual power into the Suzaku Icon outside the door, and judge the winner according to the completeness of the Suzaku True Spirit summoned, which is a test of the strength of your spiritual power. The prince said slowly.
Chen An couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, this first item was okay, he already had a way to deal with it in his heart, but this second item made him a little difficult, because he looked at the Vermilion Bird Sacred Elephant outside the door, and always felt that this Holy Elephant had a deep hostility towards him, and this hostility was so strong that Chen An wondered if he had stolen its eggs to eat before.
Then he thought about it, and then he was a little sudden, Xu is three of his three thugs beat the White Tiger True Spirit fiercely, and the four holy beasts were in the same breath. It is very likely that the Vermilion Bird True Spirit is possessed by the Vermilion Bird Sacred Elephant at this time, and it is no wonder that it will be hostile to Chen An.
Thinking of this, he had a headache, and at this time, Zhou Heng said in a loud voice: "The competition begins! Chen An came back to his senses and raised his eyes to see him take out two wooden baskets, one of which contained neat thin threads, and the other side was densely packed with hundreds of fine needles. Chen An glanced at the past, and Zhou Heng said kindly, the hole on the needle butt is relatively large, otherwise if it passes through at the same time, it will be a test of patience.
Chen An felt something at this time, looked towards Gu Xianlin's side, and saw that his face also showed a look of relief, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly. Xindao: It turns out that you are the same as me.
When he was distracted, he heard Gu Xianlin say, "I'll come first." After speaking, he pointed to his eyebrows, and a huge spiritual power poured out from the center of his eyebrows, and this spiritual power then split into hundreds of tiny thread-like spiritual power, and then the two ends of these small spiritual powers began to split, and they all turned into hands.
The small hands at both ends of each spiritual power fell, grabbed the thin thread at one end, pinched the needle body at the other end, and then hundreds of spiritual powers slowly inserted the thin thread at the same time, this time there was a slight mistake, and a needle and thread entered slowly, Zhou Heng said lightly: "Failed, try again." ”
Gu Xianlin controlled his spiritual power and put the needle and thread back into the wooden basket, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and after testing again, it was as successful as flowing water. This amazing control ability made most of the people present amazed, Xuanyuan Xing poked Hao You's arm and asked, "What you are best at is mental power, if you go, can you do it twice." ”
Hao You shook his head and replied: "At the same time, divide the spiritual power into two hundred, and not only must accurately control each spiritual power, but also penetrate the pinhole at the same time. Such control can no longer be described as strong, it is simply perverted. I can do it, but at least three times. By the way, what about you?"
Xuanyuan Xing smiled, "How do I feel that you are praising yourself, don't ask me, you know me." I'm good at fighting, and it's really hard for me to do such a meticulous job. Speaking of this, he sighed, "Alas, it seems that Chen An is afraid that he will be carrying it this time." Hao You chuckled, "That's not necessarily, there are always unexpected things happening to this kid." ”
On the other hand, Gu Weiwu saw that Gu Xianlin had completed it in only two times, and he was overjoyed, and he thought to himself that if he asked him to do it, it would take at least dozens of times to succeed. At the moment, he regarded the patrol envoy as Gu Xianlin's bag, and sneered at Chen An: "I advise you to quit now, don't let us wait until tomorrow to see you succeed." ”
Chen An stretched his waist when he heard this, yawned, and said angrily: "I advise you to say a few words, otherwise it will affect my sleep." After speaking, he actually lay on the spot, supported his head with one hand, and fell asleep on his side.
Everyone was puzzled, and the Nine Emperor Princes sneered, he knew that Chen Anding was making some kind of moth. The crown prince leaned forward slightly, revealing an interested look, and even Gu Chengfeng, who looked indifferent, looked sideways and began to pay attention. Gu Weiwu didn't open his mouth to laugh at this time, because he felt a special aura on Chen An's body, Gu Xianlin's face was solemn, and he looked at Chen An quietly.
A villain about the size of a thumb jumped out of Chen An's eyebrows, this villain was exactly the same as Chen An's appearance, it was simply a miniature version of Chen An. And immediately afterwards, the second villain and the third villain jumped out one after another, and as time went by, large swaths of villains emerged. A moment later, a large group of villains had gathered in front of Chen An.
"This is a spiritual creation!" Hao You's face showed a look of shock, and then he became very excited, and muttered, "It's incredible that someone can use a spiritual creation to such an extent. ”
Not only Hao You, after the first villain came out, everyone present felt that something was wrong, at first they were just disdainful, but as the number of villains increased. The expressions on everyone's faces became more and more exciting, Gu Chengfeng stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the prince saw this, and said softly: "Please also ask An Guogong to be restless." ”
Gu Chengfeng took a deep breath, confessed, and slowly sat down. But his heart was quite uncalm at this time, Gu Weiwu looked back at him, and his face was also shocked, and at the same time, there was a hint of ruthlessness. The crown prince glanced at the expressions on Gu Chengfeng and Gu Weiwu's faces, and the headache on his face was even worse, because he knew that the supernatural powers that Chen An had inadvertently exposed today were a big taboo in their hearts.
No matter whether Chen An wins or loses today, he is on the Gu family's must-kill list.
