Chapter 5: The Four Temples Examination
At the beginning of June, the world's heroes gathered in Tongyao Mountain, and the imperial court sent the elders of the Divine Punishment Pavilion to Tongyao Mountain to participate in the annual Four Palaces Examination.
The examination room is located in Jiulong Pond, Wenshui.
On the seventh day of the sixth month, the elders of the four palaces of Qionghua and their disciples arrived at Fengtian Square to hold the opening ceremony. The disciples of each palace attached great importance to this competition, and they all came with their hair tied, shaped, and dressed up. Among them, the disciples of the Star Moon Palace, who majored in the Heavenly Law, were dressed in plain gauze clothes; The redundant dust palace disciple who cultivated the earth method was a black robe; The disciples of Wenxiu Palace, who are famous for their occult methods, are dressed in gray gossip; And the Fuhua Palace that cultivates the Yellow Law only has female disciples, so each Hibiscus Luo skirt is around.
Approaching noon, shadows on the sundial approached. As the bell rang, the disciples stopped making noise. The bell rang three times, and suddenly there were sparrows from the west on Fengtian Square, with red silk brocade in their mouths.
Everyone looked up, looking forward to the arrival of Bai Qixia, the daughter of the Pope. This is the tradition of the four halls, Bai Qixia when the bell rings three times, stepping on the silk brocade into Fengtian Square. Because Bai Qixia and Jiang Ming did not practice exercises in the Fourth Palace, they had stayed in the Zihua Palace since they were children, so except for some elders, the outer disciples knew very little about them.
However, Bai Qixia makes an appearance on important festivals every year. Everyone passed on the word of mouth, and the daughter of the Pope was overwhelmed.
A new disciple asked curiously, "Who is coming with such a strange fragrance?" ”
"You don't even know this, the Pope's daughter, Bai Qixia."
The little disciple had never seen this person, but when he heard the legend of the woman, he felt that it was very mysterious, even if the senior brothers praised how they looked like immortals, the little disciple still didn't believe it very much.
I saw that at this time, nine spirit birds flew out from the west, all wearing colorful wings. The western sky was stained with a faint pink white, and the clouds fluttered slowly. A graceful woman came with a colorful glazed Baoluo skirt and brocade. The girl was surrounded by the power of her own soul, glowing with a faint warm yellow halo. The girl with the color light is as light as a swallow, with a remarkable temperament, as breathtaking as in the past, and has faded away from the childishness of the previous year, and now the sixteen-year-old Bai Qixia is becoming more and more beautiful and moving.
"Qi Xia has seen four elders!"
At this time, the fifth bell rang quietly, thick and heavy. The little girl smiled and looked to the east: "Brother Jiang Ming is coming!" ”
Will be born and handsome, rare in the world. The eyebrow peaks are sharp, and the bridge of Gao Ting's nose is like a straight peak. A pair of apricot eyes seem to have a whole galaxy in them. The thin lips are slightly opened, and men and women in the world are ashamed of themselves.
At that time, the young man was dressed in his usual white clothes, like a prince from a distant ancient country. The white and gold shoulders are embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and a royal blue cloth-like belt is tied around the waist, and the most important thing is to hang the dome spirit jade pendant of this year's chief examiner.
The young man slowly fell to the ground and walked towards the Temple of Heaven without squinting. The coldness that is indisputable with the world seems to overflow from the bones. The breeze ruffled the broken hair from the boy's ears and danced the corners of his clothes.
"Is he the one in Zihua Palace?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it."
"There are few people in the world who are so handsome in this life." Everyone whispered, talking about the origin of the young man, all these years, Jiang Ming has been living in the Zihua Palace. Coupled with his introverted nature, few people know about it.
Jiang Ming came to the center of the Temple of Heaven and bowed slightly to the four elders first. The elders of the guards also stood up and saluted back. The disciples of the various palaces speculated one after another, who was this young man in white, who could make his master so respectful.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Ming, this year's chief examiner."
The girl looked at the serious teenager and gently tugged at the streamer behind the boy, "Don't make trouble Qixia." ”
"There are three competitions in total, and each palace sends two people to participate in the competition. The disciples who win in the end will be eligible to enter the Bingzuka to find magic weapons, and they can enter Zihua Palace to learn the highest secret method of my Qionghua faction. ”
"Wait a minute! The previous exams of the Four Temples were all set by the White Pope, why are you a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child this year? "It was the eldest disciple of the Star Moon Palace, Jiang Liu, who spoke. Jiang Liu is the only son of a large landlord in Tongyao Town, at the foot of Tongyao Mountain, who has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and was later sent by his father to study in the Qionghua School. It's also the best among the children in the same class, so it's a little conceited when I think about it. That's why I say something like that today.
"Because, this!" Jiang Ming lifted the Dome Spirit Jade Pendant tied around his waist, and the Dome Spirit Jade Pendant was a symbol of the chief examiner. What's more important is that the Firmament Spirit Jade Pendant can examine what kind of level each cultivator's soul rank has reached.
Jiang Ming slowly pushed the power of the soul to resonate with the Dome Spirit Jade Pendant, and the Jade Pendant instantly emitted a green light. Moreover, the color of the light is staggered and rich, indicating that the internal strength of Jiang Ming is extremely profound.
"He's actually cultivated to the point of divine sense?" The senior brother of the Star Moon Palace said incredulously. Everyone also talked about it, because in the cultivation of the soul rank of the Qionghua Ancient Method, it was very difficult to improve each level. Moreover, there are primary, intermediate, and advanced divisions in each order. There are worlds of people within the same rank and between different ranks, not to mention that now this kid on the Temple of Heaven has reached the rank of divine consciousness.
"What about divine sense, the rank of the soul power of the Fourth Palace Elder is not higher than yours, why shouldn't it be your turn to be a milky hairy child?" Jiang Liu still said stiffly. But he was right, among the four palaces, Huang Qiong, the elder of the Fuhua Palace, had reached the point of emptiness more than ten years ago. And several other elders were already at the top of the Flashy Rank, so there was really no reason for Jiang Ming's turn.
"Jiang Liu, don't be rude." Elder Huang Qiong reprimanded his disciple, and then bowed his head slightly. He knew very well that although Jiang Ming only had a high-level rank of divine consciousness, judging from the speed of this child's cultivation, it was really terrifying. Meng Ze's previous cultivation was simple, but it was difficult to ascend to the blue sky after his divine sense. It took me a full fifteen years of cultivation to break through from my divine sense to vanity. The last time he saw this young man, he was still a dream, but in a few days, he broke through so fast.
It seems that this person in Zihua Palace is probably the new pope in the future.
"The first test of the four halls will be held tomorrow at noon in the Xuantian Pond in Jiulong Pond. There are ten places in each palace, and the five with the highest soul rank will be selected to enter the second round of the competition, and I hope everyone will go back and prepare well. Jiang Ming's mood didn't seem to fluctuate. After the introduction, he turned around and looked at Qi Xia and whispered, "The master said that you will go back to eat in a while." Let's go! ”
"Okay, Brother Jiangming." The little girl nodded obediently and turned around, and took out a white jade whistle out of nowhere, and when the whistle sounded, two huge white cranes flew from the sky, and fell down around the air.
"Suffer death!" At this time, a man in a black cloak suddenly stepped on the clouds.
"The Demon King Falls !!" Someone in the crowd recognized the monstrous monster. The Demon King Luo Heng is a little-known little boss of the Demon Dao, who often causes trouble in the world, and has always been unaccustomed to the decent people in those worlds. A few months ago, they also slaughtered the Tang family in Wenshui, and there were mourning everywhere. The emperor of the dynasty asked the elder of the Divine Punishment Pavilion to come this time, and it was for this reason.
"I didn't expect that the world's supreme Qionghua Sect would have so many beauties?" The Demon King Luo Heng said over and over again, looking at the disciples in Luo skirts in the Fuhua Palace over and over again.
"Master, let me go!" Mu Sheng, the eldest disciple of Fuhua Palace, was angry, and asked his master for instructions.
Huang Qiong thought that the skill of this little demon king should be almost the same as that of Mu Shenghua, so he allowed his disciple.
Compared with the panic of ordinary people, the disciples of the Qionghua Sect are eager to try one by one. After getting the permission of the master, Mu Shenghua lifted his Qinglian sword and flew towards the demon king.
In an instant, a sword aura pierced the sky and stabbed towards the Demon King. Between the black cloaks flipped in the air, and the wooden sheng flowers pierced the air. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and her backhand was another sword, and this time, she integrated the power of her soul and the Qinglian Sword Song move in the Yellow Law into it. The demon king who underestimated his opponent was cut through the corner of his clothes.
"Good!" The crowd applauded.
"I didn't expect my beauty to be so violent." The Demon King Luo Heng looked at his cut and sneered. "Since there is no beauty who is so disobedient, the Lone King will no longer show mercy to his subordinates." As he spoke, the Demon King clasped his hands together and took out a spirit ball from the spirit source. The Spirit Orb is a Demon Realm Relic that can double its power in a short period of time.
"Oops!" Huang Qiong looked at the things in the Demon King's hand, and knew that the victory and defeat had been divided.
Mu Shenghua didn't know what the demon king was doing, and just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, so he turned the Qinglian sword in his hand again, turned over in the air, and slashed towards the face of the demon king with his Luo skirt. But I didn't want to, and I was empty.
"Shadow clone." Jiang Ming looked at the battle in mid-air, and probably knew that the disparity between the two of them was too great now. I had no choice but to take out the dragon stick from my spiritual source.
Just as Mu Shenghua was looking for the demon king who suddenly disappeared, a black shadow descended rapidly from the top of Mu Shenghua's head. Huang Qiong was about to go up to save her apprentice, when she saw a white light pierce the sky. Jiang Ming slapped the demon king and flew more than ten meters away.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiangming." Mu Shenghua looked at Jiang Ming in shock.
"You go down first!" Jiang Ming said, then flipped the ball dragon in his hand with his backhand, and then used what he had just learned a few days ago - the world is one.
The Demon King looked at the white light and shadow flying towards him, and before he could get up, he saw the white light penetrate his chest all at once. Just one move, fast, accurate, ruthless. Without the slightest hesitation, one blow kills. In the stunned eyes of everyone, Jiang Ming defeated the demon king so easily.
"This is the child in Zihua Palace?" On the other side, Shenlu, who was standing on the north side of the Temple of Heaven, was already surprised when he saw this scene, and said no. "My Great Xia Dynasty is full of talents, which is really a blessing for the people."
