Chapter 2 Luojia Ancestral Monument
The morning sun gradually rose, and the early morning fog dissipated, revealing the figure of a teenager.
Luo Chen took a long breath, held his breath again, and introduced wisps of spiritual energy into his body.
In a moment, the black eyes suddenly opened, and anger appeared on his face.
"I'm grass, it's still not good, is the world so unfair!" Luo Chen's face turned slightly red, and his frowning brows twisted into pimples.
The brutal truth is right in front of you, and nothing miracles happen.
With endless unwillingness, Luo Chen's clenched fist slammed into the wall.
"Bang..."
A strong pain struck, and Luo Chen seemed to be unconscious, watching the mottled wall skin "rustle" fall in a daze.
"There will be no cheats on the wall, you have to face it..."Luo Chen laughed at himself, calmed down his mood fluctuations, got out of bed with a wry smile, and walked towards the Ancestral Pagoda.
Luo Chen's pace is not fast, and every step he takes seems to be weighty.
............
Shock!
This is the feeling of everyone who enters the Zuta.
In the ancestral tower, the three-story staircase is like a coiling dragon, winding around a huge stone tablet and rotating upward, the tablet base occupies a layer, the tablet body is black, and there is no text, just full of chain-like cracks, as if to firmly bind the stone tablet.
The deep dent is filled with the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes, and the legend says that this monument has a longer history than the Luo family, and no one knows its origin.
At this time, the first floor of the tower was crowded, and more than a hundred teenagers were eager to try, and the qualification test was an excellent opportunity for them to win the attention of the family, and those with excellent qualifications would get more cultivation resources.
Clinging to the stone stele, dozens of people stood proudly, including Luo Jian, who were the best of the younger generation of the Luo family, eager to show themselves in the qualification test.
Suddenly, a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the Zu Tower, his green face full of exhaustion.
"It's ...... again"
"It's really self-aware, if I don't come..."
"Every time it fails, the entire Luo family is not so bad......"
Five years is enough time to wipe out the last awe.
Seeing Luo Chen's arrival, everyone was no longer respectful as before, and they whispered like schadenfreude.
"The elders are here..."There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and I saw several figures appear at the entrance of the ancestral tower, and the person who was the leader was dressed in purple robes, and it was the Great Elder Luo Jinshui.
As if they didn't see Luo Chen, the elders walked past him indifferently, slowly ascended the second floor of the steps of the Dizu Tower, and after sitting down, the middle seat was vacant.
Just when everyone was puzzled, an old man in gray suddenly appeared in this empty place, and no one could see how he arrived.
"It's time to go. The old man in gray said lightly.
After a slight pause, the Great Elder coughed lightly and said:
"Let me talk about the prizes of this test first, the first place will be rewarded with four barrier-breaking pills, the second place will be rewarded with three barrier-breaking pills, the third place will be rewarded with two barrier-breaking pills, and the fourth to tenth places will be rewarded with one. ”
When the words fell, the noisy crowd was silent in an instant, and only the rapid breathing of everyone was heard.
"Barrier Breaking Pill!!It can increase the success rate of breaking through the spiritual barrier, and the lower the cultivation, the more obvious the effect. Countless teenagers swallowed deeply, this is a genuine elixir, and the price is very high.
The Great Elder took out such a number of Barrier Breaking Pills as a reward, which can be described as a big deal, you must know that the usual reward for the first place in the qualification test is 10,000 gold coins, which is only worth two Barrier Breaking Pills, but even so, it has already made the Luo family's children fight for their heads.
"You don't need to be surprised, the Qin family has invited an elixir master from the outside world to sit in charge, refining the barrier-breaking pill is naturally not a problem, but these elixirs are not free, we need our clan to hand over the spiritual spring to the Qin family to use, do you have any opinions on this?" The Great Elder's voice was slightly hoarse, but it clearly reached the ears of each person.
It's not that everyone in the Luo family doesn't know that this spiritual spring has never been a family thing, but belongs to Luo Chen's personal property.
But in the face of this tangible benefit, everyone was silent.
I don't know when, the old servant Lu Jin also came to Luo Chen's side, covered Luo Chen's mouth and shook his head gently, if anyone objected at this time, he would definitely be the enemy of everyone.
Looking at everyone's reactions, a natural smile flashed in the Great Elder's grim expression, all this was expected, only common interests can make certain things smoother, this is human nature.
"Since there is no opinion, then the test will start now, and the minors in the clan will come up!" A slightly meaningful gaze swept across the audience, and the Great Elder nodded in satisfaction and announced.
Under the ancestral monument, the children of the Luo family were bright, scrambling forward, and unsurprisingly, Luo Chen was squeezed to the outermost part of the crowd.
"Get out of the way for me!" Luo Jian shouted, and the few children who were scrambling in front of him were pushed away by Luo Jian in an instant.
Luo Jian was the first to ascend to the second floor of the Ancestral Tower, and after taking a deep breath, his palm was raised heavily, and he slapped it towards the ancestral monument.
At the moment when the palm of the hand touched, the originally black ancestral monument instantly bloomed with dazzling light, and after the palm was completely fitted, Luo Jian exerted his strength again, and the light on the ancestral monument continued to climb upwards...
Everyone held their breath to see how far the first player could go, which had a big impact on the mentality of the testers who came after.
The light slowed down as it quickly climbed up to the ninth rift, eventually coming to a halt very close to the tenth.
"Luo Jian, sixteen years old, Mortal Realm Ninth Rank, Excellent Qualifications! Seeing that the light no longer changes, the gray-clothed old man announced lightly, although he has nine spiritual streams at the age of sixteen, it is not uncommon to look at the entire Black Ruins City.
"Nine Sections! The first one is so strong, it deserves to be the leader of the younger generation, we can't catch up..."Unlike the gray-clothed old man, the clouds are light and light, and there are no exclamations one after another, and there are even some teenagers who originally wanted to make a splash with gloomy expressions, as if they have lost their souls.
Looking at the young men with different expressions below, Luo Jian was even more high-spirited, these people below were just stepping stones, destined to only look up to his brilliance.
"A bunch of scum. Luo Jian's eyes showed undisguised contempt.
Seeing Luo Jian's outstanding performance, a hint of ruthlessness flashed over the Great Elder's smug expression: "How does Luo Chen's waste compare to Luo Jian, the clan sacrifice should have been presided over by Luo Jian a long time ago." ”
"Hee-hee, it's my turn. ”
At this moment, a burst of laughter like silver bells came from the crowd, and a girl in plain clothes jumped up lightly on her tiptoes.
Although he didn't use powder, he still couldn't hide his peerless appearance, his bright eyes were like shining black gems, and his pink Yin Tao's small mouth was slightly upturned, with a sweet smile.
The girl was as soft as snow, and gently pressed on the ancestral monument, and a bright color instantly appeared at the fitting place, and then quickly spread upward.
The first crack.
The second crack.
......
The light was like a splitting bamboo, rushing upwards to the eighth crack.
"This speed is faster than Luo Jian!"
"The eighth way, will it surpass Luo Jian? ”
"Oh my God, you can eat with your face, but you have to rely on your strength. ”
Beautiful girls are always easier to get a good impression, not to mention a petite and cute girl like Luo Guan, who is extremely pure, and countless teenagers in the audience began to cheer for the girl.
The light only paused slightly, and then effortlessly broke through the ninth crack, but the speed also began to slow down, as if it was about to stop there.
Everyone knows that although it is also the ninth crack, Luo Wan is one year younger than Luo Jian, and it goes without saying who is the first in qualification.
"It is worthy of being the righteous daughter of Zhao Xian, this kind of talent is equal to the sword, the two of them can be said to be made in heaven, it is better to ......" The Great Elder said to the gray-clothed old man with a cheeky face, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by everyone's exclamations.
"It's moving again......"
Hearing that Luo Guan's face was slightly gloomy, and the strength of his palm increased a few points, the sluggish light suddenly broke through upward, forming a swirling vortex at the tenth crack, and the dazzling light eclipsed the surroundings.
"Luo Guan, fifteen years old, the spirit sea has been completed, promoted to the spirit person, the qualifications are excellent!" The gray-clothed old man nodded slightly, as if he had already expected the result, and the old man's voice was still flat.
"Whew..."
The sound of heavy breathing broke the short silence, and a pair of fiery eyes were projected on this beautiful girl, a fifteen-year-old spirit who was very rare.
The families that have been inherited from the Black Ruins City to this day all rely on absolute strength, and the spirit is the key to determining the strength of the family, and its significance is self-evident.
The eyes of countless young people who have just opened their hearts lit up, and they thought, if such a girl with both beauty and strength can marry home, it is really a winner in life.
"Luoguan?" Luo Chen remembered the girl his father picked up outside the city, who grew up with Luo Chen since he was a child, and after his parents disappeared, he was adopted by Zhao Xianfeng, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Casually putting down his tender little hand, Luo Wan raised his head slightly, and looked straight at Luo Chen in the corner, his cherry lips were slightly curled, revealing a bright smile.
The results were surpassed, and they were ignored by Luo Guan, Luo Jian's face was pale, and when he saw the girl's delicate and concave figure, he couldn't help but rise an evil fire.
"Damn, dare to ignore me, and when I become the young master, I can't let me ravage..."
Following the girl's gaze, Luo Jian glanced at Luo Chen at the back of the team, and his forbid anger suddenly found the object of venting.
"Young master, it turns out that you are also here, why are you standing so far away, let's give priority to testing when you come. Luo Jian shouted loudly and angrily.
"Come on, if you can light up the spirit pillar, you will still be the main sacrifice today, I am also thinking about the Luo family, and it is not good for your parents to say that I have bullied you if they have spirits in the sky. The Great Elder looked down at the audience, exuding the momentum of the superior, and said in a deep voice.
"Is there a spirit in the sky? It's really vicious, this is clearly cursing my parents to death!" Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of anger rose from his heart, and his clenched palms were pierced by his fingertips due to the force.
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes looked at him in unison, and Luo Chen knew that many people here wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
But it has come to this point, and there is no way back.
Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Chen slowly walked to the ancestral monument, took a deep breath, and slowly stretched out his hand forward, touching a piece of coldness.
Sure enough, there was still no response. Looking at the ancestral monument that was still as dark as ink, Luo Chen's face was bitter, and he closed his eyes helplessly, and countless mockery slammed into his eardrums.
No one saw it, and a trace of blood climbed up to the ancestral monument from the wound in the palm of the palm.
