Volume 4: Soaring into the Sky Chapter 804: Gathering
Xing Chuqing followed Lu Yao out of the examination room for the fifth round of exams, and when they came out, they met the Taoist priest who took them in, and it was he who took the two of them to the next assessment location.
According to Xing Chuqing, the children of the first five rounds of assessment of those big families did not participate, but now they have passed the fifth round of assessment, which means that Lu Yao will have to fight with the children of those so-called big families next.
This time, instead of continuing up the mountain, the three of them began to walk in the direction of the lower part of the mountain, the only difference was that the route was not the same route they had taken when they came up, but came to the other side of Tarbahatai Mountain.
Where the mountain, there is a yin side, there is a yang side, the south of the mountain and the north of the water is called the yang, the north of the mountain and the south of the water is called the yin, the first five rounds of the exam has been to climb the steps and go up, has been walking on the yang side, at this time the three of them are slowly descending, shuttling through the yin side.
On the sunny side, the traces of artificial excavation and construction are obvious, although it makes people feel the magic of the pioneers, but it is not enough to amaze Lu Yao too much, but when he comes to the relative yin side, Lu Yao understands that this may be the core area of Tianbao Pavilion.
Tianbao Pavilion is rumored to be the existence of a giant of the medical path, at this time shuttling through the yin side of Tarbagatai Mountain, Lu Yao saw a lot of rare medicinal materials that he could not see at all on weekdays, even on the black market of medicinal materials, there are rare medicinal materials with no price, among which the hundred-year-old wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. are not high-grade goods, and there are countless medicinal materials that are several grades higher than them.
Lu Yao came to an elegant and chic courtyard with full expectation and curiosity, only to see that the three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing were still written on the lintel - Tianbao Pavilion.
Lu Yao had seen these three words once before, that was when he climbed Tarbagatai Mountain, everyone saw an archway-like building at the registration office with these three big characters written on it, and the three big characters and the three words in front of him at this time were all from the hand of one person in terms of strokes and charm, but at this time, Lu Yao looked at these three big characters but felt that these three words were obviously more profound than those three.
Lu Yao stopped and looked at it for a long time, he vaguely felt that what he saw before and after was like a person's cultivation to improve and change, the same person, wrote two places, and looked at it carefully, this person was obviously more profound when he wrote the latter place than when he wrote the previous one.
"Master Lu, gentlemen have been waiting for a long time, and we still need to speed up the pace, lest Mr. wait anxiously!" The Taoist priest saw that Lu Yao had been staring at the three big characters, and he didn't bother him at first, but after a long time, the lucky one who had passed the fifth round had also come and Lu Yao was still watching, so he was inevitably a little anxious, and reminded him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, let's go!" Lu Yao bowed to the Taoist priest and apologized, and the four of them continued to move forward.
After entering the courtyard, Lu Yao found that this was a unique cave, not at all as big as he had seen outside the door before, and the space inside was far beyond Lu Yao's imagination.
"Presumably, there must be a formation outside this gate that confuses people's vision, right?" Lu Yao asked in a low voice.
"What Lu Gongzi said is very true, there is a formation arranged by Mr. here." The Taoist priest smiled slightly and replied.
“……”
There is no cave in the courtyard, the Taoist priest told the three of them to follow him closely, so as not to lose their way, in this regard, the lucky man didn't seem to care, but Lu Yao knew that what the Taoist priest said was true, and he also reminded Xing Chuqing not to be careless.
Xing Chuqing originally admired Lu Yao, and the strength shown by Lu Yao in the fifth round convinced him even more, at this time, Lu Yao reminded him that he dared to be careless, if he wasn't afraid that Lu Yao would be rude, he couldn't wait to be with Lu Yao.
In this way, the three of them walked for a while, and sure enough, the lucky man was indeed lost and disappeared.
"Why don't you go look for him?" Lu Yao saw that the Taoist priest didn't pay any attention to the disappearance of the lucky one, but he himself was a little curious, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, trust is also a kind of practice, and since he doesn't trust what I say, it doesn't hurt to suffer a little." After walking a few steps, the Taoist priest pointed to a small three-story attic in front of him, and said, "I'll send the two of you here, and when you enter the attic in front, someone will naturally tell you what to do next, and you're out of company!" ”
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Lu Yao and Xing Chu Qing saluted the Taoist priest again to express their gratitude, and it was not until the figure of the Taoist priest disappeared from the end of their sight that the two of them walked cautiously in the direction pointed by the Taoist priest.
Since the first moment of following this Taoist priest, everything has seemed very strange, and when the Taoist priest left, Lu Yao and Xing Chuqing did not dare to be careless, for fear that they would also be trapped somewhere in the courtyard like that lucky person.
……
……
When Lu Yao and Xing Chuqing entered the three-story small attic that the Taoist priest pointed to, they saw many familiar people, Lijiang and Xing Zhongtian and others were naturally there, but at this time, Deng Rong, Deng Yuzhao and Deng Yuwen of the Deng family were also there, Xu Ao of the Xu family and two old and young people he had never seen were also there, Lan Jing and Lan Wenwen were also there, and there were some people he couldn't name, but it was inferred that they should be from the Shui family.
The four major families plus the people of Yunzhong Pavilion and Medicine King Valley, except for the people of Medicine King Valley and the Lan family, the others of the six forces all regarded Chao Yo as their enemy at this time, and it was obvious that the results of the previous five rounds of assessment had already been passed here.
A group of nineteen people.
Without the slightest communication with each other, they just sat next to their own people and didn't say a word.
"Everyone, I'm sorry for waiting for a long time!" Suddenly, an old voice came from the second floor of the attic.
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came, and saw an old man with a slightly hunched back and a bent waist holding a cane in his right hand and a big man of about 1.7 meters in his left hand.
After landing on the ground, the old man shook his hand casually, and the strong man he was carrying was thrown aside by him.
Lu Yao and Xing Chuqing looked at it, and their hearts sank, this strong man was none other than the lucky one who was lost, but he didn't know how to do it at this time, he was already scarred, and there was a trace of aura on his body that did not belong to him.
Lu Yao and Lijiang glanced at each other, the tacit understanding between the two of them was not comparable to ordinary people, and at a glance, it could be seen that if the lucky man hadn't had this breath that didn't belong to him to protect his heart, he might have been a dead man long ago.
"Everyone, congratulations on passing the first five rounds of assessment." The old man paused and said, "I am a gatekeeper of this Hidden Artifact Pavilion, you can all call me Old Dou or you can call me Old Dou." ”
The old man briefly introduced himself and the reason why he appeared here, and everyone understood that they had come to this so-called Tibetan Ware Pavilion not for the assessment, but to choose a Dan furnace that they could take advantage of before accepting the next round of assessment.
Dou Lao didn't talk too much, and after saying this, he didn't say much, he moved his body to the side, and let everyone go up to the attic from the steps behind him to choose the Dan furnace they had in their hand, and this time was different from before, not only the contestants who participated in the assessment could go up to the attic, but also the people who accompanied them.
It was also at this time that the lucky man also woke up, but I don't know what the reason was, he was still alone at this time, without a companion.
When the lucky man woke up, he just heard Dou Lao's last words, and he didn't know if he had lost his memory in the previous round because he was half a beat slower and didn't choose a partner, or he was afraid that others would take the best Dan furnace first, in short, as soon as he woke up, he strode directly to the second floor without saying a word.
"Bang Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
The lucky man was unlucky this time, who would have thought that this little attic would still hide a mystery, he rushed up with an arrow, although the posture was indecent but fast, but when his feet stepped on the stairs and did not take a few steps, like a drunkard drunkard, he fell down in a more embarrassed and indecent posture.
People often say, eat a trench, grow a wisdom, but this unlucky fall is not a long memory, get up and continue to rush upstairs, his behavior caused the owner behind him to laugh, especially Lan Wenwen, a short-tempered chick, is even more laughing back and forth, not at all reserved as a woman should have.
This time, the unlucky one fell down again, and he still looked embarrassed.
At this time, everyone also understood that this small attic was not so simple, if you want to climb to the second floor, it is obviously not possible to have no strength, and there is obviously some forbidden formation on the stairs, and it is not possible to be strong at all.
The unlucky guy suffered two losses in a row, and finally he was honest, seeing that everyone around him was not something he could afford to provoke, and he didn't have a seizure, so he hid behind the crowd with his head down.
And the others were also thinking about how to go upstairs at this time, and they laughed and laughed, and no one paid attention to him anymore.
At this time, except for the unlucky lucky one, the rest of the people who were able to stay were not only superior in alchemy skills, but also their personal cultivation was not comparable to ordinary people.
The unlucky lucky man wanted to be the first to go upstairs to seize the opportunity, but he didn't admit that he was the last one, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to care about this, and the top priority was to go up to the second floor first, even if it was the last one.
I have to say that sometimes luck is not for everyone, even if he lands, it will fall on those who have the strength and preparation, and the lucky person can pass the fifth round of assessment just shows this, two consecutive failures allowed him to find some doorways, and in addition to witnessing others climb the stairs, he soon did it.
