Chapter 280: The Rivals Meet Again
In the continuous mountains of Wansheng Mountain, there are many large and small peaks, and on the top of the peaks, there are all kinds of pavilions and wooden houses, and the place surrounded by these buildings is called the Taoist Temple.
These temples are either built on the top of a towering mountain or located on a low mountain, but if you judge the strength of the temple by the height of the mountain, you will not have to suffer a lot.
In the former dynasty, there was a transcendent power in Confucianism and Taoism who once said: The mountain is not high, but the immortal is famous.
This sentence is applicable to the vast majority of the Taoist academies in the Creation Academy, but it is unique to a special place, which only means the name of the mountain high immortal.
This place is the Academy, the veritable first temple in the Founding Academy, located on the highest Lixin Mountain.
Someone once joked: The mountain of the academy is the highest, but the height is not the top, the people of the academy are the strongest, unfathomable, and the beasts of the academy are the most proud, and they bite people when they see them.
Today is the annual entrance ceremony, and after the consecration ceremony, the newly enrolled students will be picked up by the people of the Taoist Academy, and the etiquette of the entrance ceremony will be passed on instead of preaching the Dharma.
After learning etiquette, the teachers and elders led their students to Pan Palace for the entrance ceremony, which can be regarded as a real recognition of identity.
Pan Palace is also another name for the Academy, because there is a semi-circular pool in front of the Academy, called Pan Shui, so the Academy is also called Pan Palace.
The entrance ceremony is held from the halfway point of Lixin Mountain, where a wide stone platform is built, and the stone platform is connected with layers of stone steps above and below, up to the top of the cloud and down to the valley.
In the valley, a handsome young man in a black tunic robe walked up the stairs, which was now hundreds of stone steps. Compared with the uneven breath of most people around him, he seems quite leisurely, walking on the ground.
"Ghost master, wait for my old bones, I can't walk anymore. ”
Behind the handsome young man, an old man in a gray robe was out of breath, simply sat on the stone steps, turned his head and said to the handsome young man.
It was Chen An and the Dry Bone Ghost King, Chen An shook his head with a smile when he saw this, and replied:
"I've only walked a few hundred floors and I'm so tired, this is not like the ghost king I saw yesterday who beat two monks to the ground and fled. ”
At this time, a young monk beside him was about to slow down, but after hearing Chen An's words, he turned his head to look at him, his face immediately became ugly, and he lowered his head and quickly continued to move forward.
A wry smile appeared on the Dry Bone Ghost Monarch's face, waved his hand, and then pointed under him, and said to Chen An:
"You think this is an ordinary staircase? This is the first time that the academy was founded, and it was set up by those saints who were all over the world. ”
When Chen An heard this, he immediately became interested, and stopped and patiently waited for the words of the Dry Bone Ghost King. Seeing this, the Dry Bone Ghost Monarch knew that his plan had succeeded, and looked up at the sky again, and then continued:
"To climb this step, it depends not only on the strength of the physical body, but also on the Dao heart, the strength of the physical body determines the lower limit of climbing the steps, generally speaking, the stone platform on the Xuan Realm is definitely enough. ”
The Dry Bone Ghost Monarch pointed to the stone platform above, and Chen An looked at it, there was still a distance of about two hundred steps. He nodded, and said:
"What about the heart? ”
The Dry Bone Ghost Jun smiled, stood up and tidied up his clothes, straightened the hosta on his head, walked to Chen An's side in a few steps, chuckled at him, and then walked straight up.
Chen An stood behind him and looked at the back of the Dry Bone Ghost King, and suddenly felt a special force appear in his body, and when he was puzzled, he turned his head to Chen An and said with a smile:
"Dao Heart, it determines the upper limit, that is, how far you can go in the future. ”
Chen An chuckled, walked to the side of the Dry Bone Ghost King in a few steps, and the two walked side by side. When he was about to walk to the stone platform, Chen An suddenly asked:
"What if the Dao heart is not enough to ascend to the academy. ”
The Dry Bone Ghost Monarch laughed, quietly pointed to the twelve people who were side by side with Bai Liang on the broad stone platform, and said:
"The people who made it to the top are there. If you can reach the top, then I will wake up laughing with my ghost mother in our dreams. ”
Chen An chuckled, not frustrated by the Dry Bone Ghost King's unintentional words. Instead, he carefully looked at the thirteen men and women standing at the opposite ends of the stone platform, and was secretly shocked in his heart.
These thirteen people, seven men and five women, although most of them are ordinary, but their temperament is difficult to find, so dusty that people can ignore their appearance, so as to sincerely praise this is heaven and man.
Of course, Bai Liang, who is the first class in the world in terms of appearance and temperament, is not among them, and seeing Bai Liang looking at him at this time, Chen An is putting on a smiling face and wants to say hello warmly. That Bai Liang's face changed slightly, and he immediately looked away and didn't look at him.
Chen An was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and his outstretched hand in mid-air touched his face and put it down.
An eight-character man with a beautiful beard beside Bai Liang noticed this scene, frowned slightly, and whispered to Bai Liang:
As soon as the junior brother appeared, his eyes were on him, why did he ignore him just now, it was embarrassing, this is rude. ”
Bai Liang's expression froze, and when he was about to argue, a white and pretty face suddenly came over, and asked with an inexplicable smile on his face:
"What's wrong, what's wrong. I just heard that the little junior brother is flirting with someone, tell the senior sister quickly, and let the senior sister see which little girl from the Taoist academy it is. ”
The man with the beautiful beard pressed the woman's head back, and said angrily:
"Today is the entrance ceremony, senior sister pay attention to the appearance, don't probe over. And the senior sister also guessed wrong, it was not a little girl, but a man. ”
"It's boring. ”
The woman pursed her lips and stood back, then looked at the beautiful bearded man dissatisfied, and muttered:
"Obviously, you yourself talked to the junior brother first, and you didn't allow me to say it, hmph. ”
The beautiful bearded man's expression was as usual, Quan Dang didn't hear it, and was about to continue asking each other when an inappropriate voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Hey, isn't this Chen An, who is majestic and invincible in the trial, I thought he could enter the Sword Dao, the Demon Dao, these powerful Dao Academies, how did he enter the Ghost Dao Academy, and put on such an ugly dress. ”
Xie Lingmu stood next to a group of people, pointing at Chen An and laughing with everyone.
"Brother Xie's words are wrong, how can you say that the Ghost Dao Academy also belongs to one of the thirty-three days of Dao, which should not be underestimated. ”
The person who spoke was dressed in a long aqua blue robe, with ripple patterns embroidered on the sleeves and chest, and then Xie Lingmu's words changed, and then he glanced at Chen An with pity, and continued:
But three months later, this Senior Brother Chen may regret it. ”
"Oh, what did Brother Fang say about this? ”
Xie Lingmu showed a puzzled look on his face, and pretended to say.
The man shook his head, and sighed with a look of regret:
"Alas, Brother Xie didn't know when he first entered the academy, this ghost Taoist academy is called the Taoist Academy, but it is actually a land of black smoke and miasma, for a hundred years, Mo said that no new transcendent has appeared, and even the supernatural powers who have entered the Xuan are very few. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't merge with the Demon Dao Academy, which was also declining and had lost its dojo, and it would be called a Demon Ghost Dao Academy. ”
Xie Lingmu looked shocked when he heard this, and lamented loudly:
"Ah, what Brother Fang meant, could it be that the three thousand Dao Guild in three months, the strength of the Demon Ghost Dao Academy is not good, and it will be challenged by the Dao Academy behind, and then squeezed out of the Thirty-three Dao Sect. Isn't that Brother Chen..."
The two sang and harmonized, making Chen An instantly attract everyone's attention. The originally happy face of the Dry Bone Ghost Monarch gradually became gloomy, he took a deep breath, pulled Chen An's sleeve, and whispered:
"They are outnumbered, and you are forcing you to make a move, so you must not be impulsive. ”
Chen An looked as usual, not affected at all, but looked at them with a good look. He turned his head to look at the Dry Bone Ghost Monarch who was fluctuating in his body, and couldn't hold back his actions, and comforted:
"It's nothing, it's just a little trick, it's not as good as the magic old ghost. ”
The Dry Bone Ghost Monarch chuckled lightly when he heard this, and when he saw that Chen An's expression did not seem to be fake, he was also relieved.
However, at this time, I heard Chen An say loudly:
"Hey, who am I, isn't this Xie Lingmu, who was beaten by me in the Sage Forest, Grand Master Xie. Oh, and Sun Gongzi is also there, I don't know what you rats are planning when you gather together. ”
Chen An saw that the group of people were talking happily with Xie Lingmu and Sun Tiandu, they were definitely not good people, and they would inevitably help the two of them deal with themselves in the future, so they simply offended together.
He looked around again, and wondered:
"Hey, why didn't the Nine Emperor Princes come, without the presence of the master, how dare you bark here?"
"You!"
Xie Lingmu already had a strong sense of self-esteem, how could he stand such humiliation, and instantly condensed the water vapor in the valley, turning into an ice pick and stabbing towards Chen An.
Seeing this, Chen An crossed his hands in front of him, and the old god was there, not dodging or dodging, looking indifferent. The Dry Bone Ghost Monarch is secretly brewing supernatural powers, concentrating his mental power on the ice pick.
At this time, when the ice pick was only three feet away from Chen An's front door, it suddenly stopped, and then the whole ice pick turned into mist.
The man with a beautiful beard appeared in front of Chen An, waved his hand to disperse the mist, and then looked at Xie Lingmu, and said in a cold voice:
"Presumptuous, it is forbidden to use supernatural powers to fight at the entrance ceremony, didn't your teacher teach you. ”
Seeing this, Xie Lingmu's face suddenly changed in fright, and he became distracted. Behind him, a middle-aged man with a chill glanced in this direction, and then continued to talk to his friend next to him.
"This senior brother, Brother Xie is just joking with me, it is not a fight, and I ask Senior Brother not to punish him. ”
At this time, to Xie Lingmu's surprise, Chen An actually spoke for him. But even so, Xie Lingmu would not think that Chen An had such a good intention.
When the man with the beautiful beard heard this, he looked at Chen An with a look of approval in his eyes, and said:
"Yes, repaying grievances with virtue is still a gentleman's way. ”
Chen An smiled shyly, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said:
"Senior brother has a good reputation. ”
The bearded man smiled, said no more, and turned back to where he was. After the man left, the Dry Bone Ghost King looked at Chen An and said softly with respect on his face:
"I didn't expect the ghost lord to have such a mind, the old man really looked down on you before. ”
At the same time, someone around asked loudly to this side:
"Chen An, I heard that you had a relationship with Princess Qingyu, is it true? ”
Chen An snorted lightly, his face full of anger, and retorted:
"Ridiculous! False, of course. ”
When some men in the crowd heard this, they seemed to be relieved and relieved, and laughed at themselves:
"How could Princess Qingyu, such a peerless goddess in the world, pity a small border city commoner. ”
However, Chen An's next sentence made them angry and almost wanted to make a move.
A few days ago, I told Qingyu to let her come to watch my entrance ceremony, but she said that she couldn't come because of something, which was a pity, and I couldn't let her see my heroism at the top. ”
Chen An looked up at the sky and sighed, looking quite helpless.
"You're so hateful, let's practice boxing together when we have time, I think you're quite underwhelmed. ”
The toad wants to eat swan meat. ”
"Wake up, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight. ”
"Don't make a noise!" the man with a beautiful beard snorted coldly, and the stone platform suddenly fell silent.
"Hehe, you'll look good later. The white woman next to the man had a playful expression on her face.
Everyone either scolded angrily or ridiculed, all expressing their dissatisfaction. Chen An smiled at this, looking indifferent.
"Ghost Lord, you... Alas, you are almost offended by the whole audience now, and when you ascend the stairs, it will definitely be against you. ”
The Dry Bone Ghost Monarch's face was full of sorrow, and he couldn't wait to plug Chen An's mouth with his own bones.
"Don't worry, anyway, if you don't offend, they won't see me well. ”
Chen An waved his hand, comforted him a few more words, and then stopped speaking, he quietly looked around, waiting for the entrance ceremony to begin.
But the surrounding crowd didn't really calm down, they either formed a group or were alone, all of them had bad intentions, and looked at Chen An from time to time.
As for Xie Lingmu and Sun Tiandu's group, if they angered Chen An, they almost punished the people on their side, and they would not give up.
Chen An glanced at them with slanted eyes, he didn't care much in his heart, they couldn't do much out of the ordinary here. If you want to really cause trouble to Chen An, you have to go up the stone platform and sharpen the two thousand steps of the Dao Heart.
At this time, Chen An noticed that Xie Lingmu's eyes suddenly showed a look of joy, he expected that it was the Nine Emperor Princes who came, and he didn't want to go to see it. But at this time, there was also a commotion in the crowd, and some people were shocked and some were depressed.
Chen An was puzzled, and was about to turn his head to look, when the woman next to the beautiful bearded man suddenly walked down, greeted the stone steps below, and said with a smile:
"Sister Qingyu, why are you here!"
Chen An's face changed greatly, and he shouted that it was bad!
