Yin Lingzi straightened his sleeves, looked up at Jiang Mingdao, and said: "The Tang family in the capital has cultivated ghost paths, and since the time of Taizu in the previous dynasty, they have colluded with Yin Si. The mass grave outside the city of Yudu City, I don't know how many lonely graves and wild ghosts there are. The Bai family, with the blessing of Dazai in the previous dynasty, tested medicine with slaves, and even in order to create a group of invincible ghosts for Daxia, he did not hesitate to arrest a large number of ordinary people in remote places.

Although the people of the Demon Dao and the Demon Dao disdain this, the Ghost Dao is in charge of the reincarnation strategy. After the death of all beings in the Three Realms, they all have to go to the ghost realm for reincarnation. The power disputes inside and outside the court, and the life and death of the living beings in the world, have led to the capital becoming a filthy land. ”

Jiang Ming listened to the master tell him every bit about the capital, and he was just curious, so why no one went to renovate that area. Even if there are too many interests involved and intertwined, the most important thing in this world is the famous immortals. Not to mention the world's largest faction Qionghua, as well as the five major schools of Shushan, Xiaoyao, Kongtong, Huashan, and Wudang, and there are countless hermits in the mountains who are not well known.

"Master, since you have been doing evil for a long time, why don't many sects encircle and suppress it. I remember that before the Nanban Witch Gu did evil, the five major sects jointly attacked the Golden Medicine Gu and killed the Nanban Poison Girl in one fell swoop. ”

Yin Lingzi smiled and looked at Jiang Ming: "For the teacher, I ask you, why can the icebergs in the bitter cold land of the extreme north float on the water?" ”

Jiang Ming said: "The surface of the water is exposed, but it is only for a moment." And under the water, is the whole picture of the mountain, and even stretches for dozens of miles, endlessly. After answering Ming, he instantly understood what the master meant. The complexity that Xudu sees now is just a drop in the bucket. And the root causes of the problem are intertwined and involve many people.

"The master once told you that this huge dome will eventually be your mountain gate. But the road is long, and you have to learn non-star knowledge. Although you are familiar with the three thousand Taoist collections, and know the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the most difficult book in this world is only here. Yin Lingzi pointed to his heart and continued: "The good, the evil, and the wise, each with a ghost, what the heart thinks, is the most difficult book in the world to read. ”

After listening to the master's words, the general lowered his eyebrows and savored it carefully.

"After the end of this four-hall examination, you and Qixia, let's go down the mountain and have a look!" After Yin Lingzi finished speaking, he left the room. Leaving Jiang Ming alone to sit there and ponder.

At the beginning of July, Tongyao Mountain, Fengtian Temple, four halls will try.

When the sun shines red, half of the sky is red, and the birds around them also begin to sing. Today is the last test of the Four Palaces, so all the disciples of each palace are present. The four-colored streamers fluttered in the wind, and the ascetic appearance of a famous immortal. Not only will Yin Lingzi come to Fengtian Square today, but the head of the five major sects, Dazai Gongsun Ye of the Great Xia Dynasty was also invited to come here for a time.

"The Pope is here." The person who rang the bell heard the white crane chirp and began to strike the bell. The colorful light on the horizon began to flow slowly, and the silver spirit son came in a blue wide-sleeved robe with an imperial sword. When he landed steadily in the center of the Temple of Heaven, everyone leaned over and shouted respectfully: "Welcome to the Pope." ”

"Get up!"

For all the disciples, Yin Lingzi was a god-like existence in their eyes. The legend of Pope Bai Tongyao killing the dragon in the South China Sea, Kunlun killing the Xuanwu beast in anger, and the sword and the frost demon were already widely praised when they were still children.

And Jiang Ming this time, he wore his usual white clothes, and the clothes outlined by Jin Lang Xiangyun appeared in front of everyone.

"Daizong!"

"Hmm." After Jiang Ming asked everyone to get up, he saluted Yin Lingzi, "Master." ”

Yin Lingzi nodded, and then looked at the disciples of each palace on the square: "In today's competition, the eight of you will take turns to attack Jiangming, and there will be no pause in the middle, and those who fall off the competition platform will immediately withdraw from the competition." The last three will be qualified to learn the ancient method of Qionghua and become the disciples of Jiang Ming. ”

"What? Become a disciple of Daizong? ”

"I thought I was becoming a disciple of the White Pope?"

"Yes, yes, although Daizong is indeed stronger than us, but to become his disciple, it is better to become the apprentice of the elders of the palaces."

"What are you doing? What is the reasoning of this. ”

"I think it's good."

……

When everyone heard this, they began to whisper. The Qionghua Sect has a history of more than 800 years, and the three of the four halls have always been from the Pope to learn the ancient law of Qionghua. This is the first time this year.

"Pope, this?" Elder Tianji didn't seem to expect the Pope to make such a decision today, so he looked at Yin Lingzi in confusion.

"What do you think is wrong?" Yin Lingzi asked in a deep voice, turning his face to look at Elder Tianji. A pair of eyes full of vicissitudes of life, with a thin layer of anger in them.

Elder Tianji, who saw it at this glance, was also a little uncomfortable. More than 400 years ago, he became the sixth apprentice of Yin Lingzi with the first place. At that time, Yin Lingzi was upright and middle-aged, compared to the average immortal family master, Yin Lingzi's strictness at that time was almost perverted. So until now, Elder Tianji still had palpitations when he saw his master showing such a look.

"No, no. Do you think this will cause criticism? "Elder Tianji stammered a little when he spoke.

"You've been an elder of the Star Moon Palace for over three hundred years." Yin Lingzi reminded in a dark voice, in front of everyone, you are already an elder of the eleventh palace, and it is inappropriate to call you a disciple again.

"Tianji just thinks that if you do this, the disciples of the various palaces will inevitably have some gossip."

"That kid is not like you. Scold! Yin Lingzi smiled at Elder Tianji rarely, but he smiled disdainfully.

The competition officially began, and Jiang Ming did not bring his own dragon stick or his sword this time. stood on the newly built competition platform with bare hands.

"Daizong is the enemy of the eight of us, are you sure that you are bare-handed?" He Mu was about to go on stage, and when he saw this scene, he asked.

"It's okay, come on." Jiang Ming's voice is neither humble nor arrogant, and it does not make people feel at all, a feeling of pride and arrogance with his own skills.

"Daizong, why don't you take a stick! A few of us are also the best among the palaces. You don't take anything, if we win, it's a win. If we lose, how faceless do we have? Jiang Liu took a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and stepped on the steps of the competition platform with one leg, looking like a second ancestor.

Mu Shenghua didn't speak, just raised her head slightly, glanced at Jiang Ming, and lowered her eyes.

The competition officially began. Eight people stood in a circle, and Jiang Ming stood in the center of the competition platform. The eight men exchanged glances, but none of them dared to attack first.

"You're on!" Liu Wuyan said to Jiang Liu, who was standing beside him.

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes at him, and spit out the grass on the side of his mouth, "Why do you want me to go up?" You come first, and I won't send you to death. ”

And Yin Lingzi, who was sitting on the viewing platform, turned his head to Elder Tianji and said, "Your disciple is really the same as you were back then. ”

Elder Tianji smiled awkwardly, if it weren't for the fact that this Second Ancestor's family was rich, powerful, and smart, he would be the most potential among the disciples in this class. He won't leave this lawless guy behind.

"Senior brother, do you want us to come first?" Liu asked without a word.

"Wait and see." He Mu shook his head.

The stalemate lasted for a long time, and he did not dare to break this deadlock. After a stick of incense, the sun also reached the middle of the day, the weather in midsummer was really a little difficult, and Yin Lingzi, who was sitting on the stage, said to Jiang Ming: "Jiang Ming, hurry up." Today your sister made goat milk jelly. ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the heads of the five factions and foreign guests, even the four elders not far away on the side had never seen the master like this. My eyes almost fell out in shock.

Jiang Ming nodded, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and condensed the power of his soul. A purple-blue ball of light began to condense continuously. Eight people saw that Jiang Ming began to move, and quickly made defensive moves. They all drew their swords, carefully guarding against the sudden attack of the general.

When the purple-blue ball of light continued to grow larger, the expected thing was not born. Because Jiang Ming didn't have a target for everyone, he gave these eight children the same possibility. So when the ball of light continued to grow larger, eight people made defensive moves at the same time, because the ball of light exploded, and the soul wave pounced on eight people at the same time. Bounced them to the edge of the stage in an instant.

"Has he reached the high level of vanity?" Elder Huang Qiong said in surprise.
