Chapter 41: The Hundred Domains
Daozhou Zhengdao Domain Tianji Pavilion
Inside the Butian Temple
An old man, dressed in a yin and yang gossip robe, quietly looked at a huge clock in front of him with vicissitudes of life.
The hands of the clock constantly swing back and forth between the twelve characters of "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai", occasionally stopping for a while, and reverberating in the quaint and hazy hall with a loud bell.
Under the giant bell, a white dice rotated violently, and from time to time projected into the air several big characters: "void", "extinguish", "delusion" and "kan".
After half a pillar of incense, the spinning dice slowly stopped, and a huge word "peel" fell on the clock from the front.
The hands on the clock are fixed on the character "Mao", and a beam of white light is shot into the dice, and the whole hour hand suddenly becomes extremely dim.
"Qunyin stripping yang?" the old man said to himself, frowning.
He whisked the dust and poured spiritual power into the clock, trying to break off the hands on the clock for a few minutes.
The huge stone hand trembled for a moment, and then continued to fix on the word "Mao".
The old man sighed, put away the dust, pinched his fingers, and his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
Behind him, the door was pushed open, and a man with a resolute face walked in, arching his hand and saying, "Pavilion Master, the selection of the hundred domains is about to begin." ”
The old man nodded, waved his hand back into the robe, and asked, "Xuan Chen, it is rumored from the outside world that how many percent of Tianjiao who participated in this Hundred Domains Selection will die?"
"Sixty percent. ”
"Sixty percent?" the old man sneered, "These fools still underestimate the birth of the treasure of the day after tomorrow." ”
He looked up and sighed helplessly:
"This time, at least ninety percent of the juniors are going to be selected by the Hundred Domains. ”
The people of the Nine Dragons Domain stood in front of the main hall of the Domain Lord's Mansion, looking up at the Nine Dragons Venerable who was floating in mid-air.
His Holiness swept over everyone with a sharp gaze and said majestically, "Junior you, would you like to be selected?"
Everyone shouted in unison, "May I enter!"
The Nine Dragons Venerable turned around abruptly and tore through the void with his hand, splitting a huge spatial crack, unleashing a manic and violent wind, raising the brown robe on his body.
"After entering this door, there is no better or worse, the way of heaven is up to man, and nine deaths and one life. Are you willing to enter?"
"Willing to enter!"
"So far, I will return, the thing is a human retirement, and the king will be defeated!"
"Willing to enter!"
"Well!! worthy of being a native of the Nine Dragons Domain, you should have such a fearless heart. His Holiness raised his hand and sprinkled 10,000 points of starlight onto everyone's shoulders.
"This piece of starlight can save your life. You need to do your best to choose here, raise the prestige of our domain, and praise the name of Kowloon!"
"No!!"
Ten thousand people clasped their fists at the same time, and the sound of shaking and shouting loudly, the sound echoed in the hall for a long time.
The Nine Dragons Venerable then tore the spatial rift into a curtain of night, turned his hand and shrouded everyone, and when the night fell, the scene around everyone was shattered like a broken mirror.
It wasn't until the fragments of the scenery reunited and spelled out another piece of the sky that everyone found that they had arrived at the venue selected by the Hundred Domains.
Li Taiyi observed the surroundings, and the dense crowd of countless monks gathered into a torrent surging, slightly crowded, and all kinds of monks in strange costumes could be seen at will.
"Why are there so many people?" asked Li Taiyi.
Yue Wuyin explained: "In our Nine Dragons Domain, there are thousands of imperial sects, and there are more than 10,000 monks who participate in the selection of the Hundred Domains. And the other hundreds of domains in Daozhou, compared to my Nine Dragon Domains, are only big and not small, and the number of people gathered is naturally as many as millions. ”
"Millions of people, how can so many people let go of their hands and feet in this narrow place?"
"It's not a general election here, we're on a floating island over Baihuo Road, one of the 72 blessed lands in Daozhou. ”
"Twelve hours later, this floating island will shatter automatically, carrying us from the island to all parts of the Hundred Fire Road. At this time, the prohibition of this place will ensure that the monks who enter the Hundred Fire Road are all under the age of 20, and their cultivation will not exceed the Great Perfection of the Dao Xuan Realm. ”
"If a monk who does not meet the requirements wants to force his way in, he will be strangled by the power of the law in the blessed land. ”
"This road of fire is quite magical. This path is the most powerful of the 72 blessed lands, and no great power has broken the prohibition here. ”
"It is rumored that Baihuo Road has to be immersed in the long river of history for 10,000 years before it can come out and connect with people once. Due to the different laws of time between the two of them, every time this road is born, the world can only be worthy of the past ten years. ”
Because of this, no matter how many fires the monk took from this path during this period, ten years later, the path was still full of opportunities. ”
"Whenever this road is born, the leaders of the younger generation in the hundred domains of Daozhou rush to it, hoping to seek an opportunity and get ahead on this road. ”
"On this road, everything that happens is cut off from the outside world. No matter if you are the Holy Son of that family, if you are in it, the forces behind it don't know who did it, and you can only regard your skills as inferior to others and consider yourself unlucky. ”
"In the past few years, there have been countless Tianjiao Divine Sons who have fallen in it, and they are grassroots, and there are many monks who have become a new generation of proud sons after gaining the opportunity to defy the sky. In this way, it has become an excellent place to train the younger generation of monks, and several major sects in Daozhou will select outstanding ones from them to accept them as disciples. ”
"If you are fortunate enough to be favored by the world-famous eight major sects of Daozhou, then you will really jump over the dragon gate and turn into a phoenix. ”
After listening to Yue Wuyin's explanation, Mrs. Li nodded and asked again, "Then what should we do when we enter the Hundred Fire Road?"
Yue Wuyin said with a serious expression: "Live." ”
"Live?"
"Yes. This time, the Hundred Domains Selection is full of dangers, and we must not only be careful of all kinds of dangers in the Hundred Flames Road, but also prevent other monks from stabbing us in the back. ”
"Of course, the spiritual power in the Hundred Fire Path is several times that of the outside world, and it is extremely easy to cultivate. When a certain number of monks have broken through to the Dao Fire Realm in the Hundred Fire Path, the path will expel the other monks from the small world and send those it considers to be outstanding to the stargazing platform of one of the thirty-six Cave Heavens. ”
After that, the monks who were selected to go to the rooftop came to learn from each other in order to get the opportunity to be on the stargazing rooftop. ”
Gu Changyi on the side said with a smile: "I know that my strength is low, and I don't dare to think about it on the stargazing rooftop." However, Brother Li has the opportunity to go up to this stargazing rooftop and promote my prestige in the Nine Dragons. ”
"Brother Gu has an overreputation. Mrs. Li said with a smile.
Next to him, Su Yue'er used a veil to block her peerless appearance, but the bewitching aura exuded from her bones still attracted the attention of many monks.
"Li Taiyi," she frowned, looked at the crowd around her with displeasure, and said, "There are too many people here. ”
She suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall tower not far away, with few people inside.
"Let's get there. She pointed to the tower.
Li Taiyi also saw the tower, and asked to Yue Wuyin, "Why, there is a tower standing on this floating island?"
When Yue Wuyin saw it, he replied: "This is a tradition of the Hundred Domains Selection, among all the proud sons who participated in the Hundred Domains Selection, those who are confident that they can look down on their peers can climb this tower, so they call it 'Proud Tower'." ”
"Those who have the strength to enter the proud building are not a generation of proud heroes, and we are waiting for ......"
Before Yue Wuyin finished speaking, she saw Su Yue'er pull Li Taiyi away directly and walked towards the proud building.
Gu Changyi and Zi Wan'er looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and also followed.
In the Peach Blossom Spring
100,000 miles of blue streams, three peach blossoms dance with butterflies.
The spring breeze slowly passed through the sky, and under the white clouds rolling under the golden wheel, a bamboo house was hidden in it.
The little girl, barefoot, happily ran down the stream into the bamboo house.
She opened the door gently, half-revealing a cute face, and said happily: "Mr. Wolong, do you have something to do with paper?"
There is a young man sitting in the bamboo house, squinting phoenix eyes, evil and handsome, eight feet long, with a face like a crown of jade, wearing a scarf on his head, and a crane on his body.
When he saw the little girl coming, he put down the peacock feather fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Well, there is indeed one thing that needs to be asked of you." ”
The little girl cheered, got into his arms, and said happily: "Great, Paper Heart can actually help Mr. Wolong!"
"Na," she asked, her eyes wide, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What is the paper heart going to do?"
The man smiled and gently touched the little girl's head with his hand.
"You go to a place and meet a person. As long as you don't let this person die, you'll be in for a great favor. ”
"Oh?" the little girl blinked, "where?
The man gracefully scratched a crack in space with his hand, "Fun place, see a man with three eyes." ”
"Three eyes?" the little girl thought for a moment, then smiled, "Paper Heart knows!"
She jumped into the open portal and smiled at the man.
"Had fun. The man smiled back at her and gently smoothed the crack in the space.
He wandered around the bamboo house for a long time, chuckling and muttering to himself: "The ancient gods are really powerful, just by blowing a breath, they can make a piece of paper manifest, which is interesting." ”
Beside him, a breeze blew through the curtain on the candlestick, revealing a locked golden dragon with bloodshot eyes glaring at the crane-robed man.
The man in the crane robe picked up the feather fan and gently fanned it against the curtain to cover the golden dragon. Behind the curtain, there was the unwilling roar of the golden dragon.
"It's worthy of the Ancestor True Dragon," he squinted and smiled, "I have been refining it for millions of years, and there is still a trace of obsession left." ”
He took out three dice from his robe, one black and two hundred, and threw them into the jade plate on the table. The three dice spun violently, and finally projected three big black and white characters into the air: "peel", "delusional", and "kan".
"The yin strips the yang," he sighed, "such a hexagram is what kind of catastrophe that can only be caused by the birth of a supreme treasure." ”
"You must not fall into this path of fire," the brown-robed man sighed faintly out the window, "otherwise, my plan will be missing the most critical chess piece." ”
"That's it," he said, taking out his brush, scribbling a few words on a small piece of rice paper, and stuffing it into a gold silk bag.
"It's better to keep a hand, after all, I'm calculating the emperor of the ages. ”
He shook his feather fan lightly and squinted and smiled.
Behind him, the seven-star lamp was shining.
