Chapter 029: Sect Entrance Trial
The Sword Sect is one of the few remaining old sects in the cultivation world today, located in the perennial frost and snow of the Beijun Mountain Range, although it ranks at the end of the Seven Heavenly Sects all the year round, it is still powerful, few people dare to openly challenge the authority of the Heavenly Sect, and the Sword Sect is notoriously low-key and does not cause trouble, so it has been safe for hundreds of years.
But what makes people puzzled is that this year coincides with the opening of the sect entry trial, and suddenly there are so many first-class sects and families second only to the Heavenly Sect, saying that they want to come to the Dao Fa exchange, but in fact, they want to come to the field and partner to kick the Sword Sect out of the ranks of the Seven Heavenly Sects.
This is tantamount to running to someone else's house with impunity and trying to slap someone in the face.
The cliff can't bear it!
The current head of the Sword Sect, Xi Shi Zhenren, is also quite simple and rude, beating up all the people who come to the door to provoke, and then proposing a way to resolve the dispute with non-violence - let the young disciples of those sects also try the sect entry test, and if they can come out on top, the Sword Sect will allow those sects to challenge.
Therefore, this year's entrance trial is much more lively than in previous years.
Gu Yunying walked all the way from the foot of the mountain, and the cold wind on her face made her cheeks hurt, and she had to wrap Liheng around her neck as a chic fox skin scarf.
Forced to wrap around his neck: "??? β
[Gain Liheng's aggro +1000.] γ
Rao is cultivator, most of whom are physically strong, but they can't bear such a cold place.
Beijun is a notoriously steep place, most of them are majestic mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, with snow falling for thousands of years, and people are rarely visited, only the Sword Sect, a reckless sect, dares to settle down here.
Gu Yunying was thrown at the foot of the mountain by Shen Yipi, because if she wanted to pretend to be an ordinary casual cultivator who came to participate in the trial, she had to climb the peak where the Sword Sect was located on foot like other casual cultivators, and it was also known as the highest, coldest and most difficult Baichun Mountain among the tens of thousands of mountain ranges in Beijun.
Gu Yunying looked up at the deep snow in the vast white expanse, where is there spring here?
"This fellow Daoist, are you also here to participate in the trial?" A middle-aged-looking casual cultivator walked over from the side, holding a booklet in his hand, "Sword Sect's previous assessment questions or?" β
Gu Yunying looked at the crudely printed booklet and was silent.
The scattered cultivator saw that her face was raw, and her cultivation was shallow, and her bone age was young, so she sold it vigorously: "This is the internal information I found through the relationship, the secret volume of the Sword Sect, which usually sells five hundred and eighty-nine spirit stones, I see that you look like a water spirit, I will give you a discount, as long as it is three hundred and twenty-seven, the Sword Sect will open the door and welcome you!" β
Gu Yunying ignored him, made a wooden face, and walked up the stairs.
"Eh, wait a while, little girl, you go slowly, I have other information here, Yashentang, Nandou Pavilion, Jinling Li Clan, they will send rookie disciples to participate in the trial this year, the art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, as long as two hundred and fifty spirit stones, you can get all their information, including what magic weapons they are good at, which enemies they have defeated, the love letters they have written, and the dinner they had yesterday......"
Gu Yunying stretched out an index finger: "A spirit stone, give me all the information." β
Sanxiu gasped: "You are an insult to me!" β
"Two spirit stones."
"I'm a dignified intelligence monger."
"Three spirit stones, no more."
ββ¦β¦ You add two more pieces. β
"Deal."
[Gain Tan Yue's Hatred +50.] γ
Tan Yue took a complete set of booklets to Gu Yunying, and said with emotion: "The future is terrifying, I have never met you so good at bargaining in my life." β
"You're welcome, I'm just better at seeing through the essence of things from the surface of things."
Tan Yue was confused: "What essence?" β
"The cost of these booklets is worth the essence of five spirit stones at most."
[Gain Tan Yue's aggro +100.] γ
Gu Yunying took out five spirit stones, and Shen Yipi and Qingyu Zhenren gave her a hundred spirit stones as pocket money before leaving, so she could easily take out this money.
She looked at the introduction of the seeded players in the booklet again and again, and continued to the top of the mountain.
Most of the casual cultivators who came here gathered in front of the Sword Sect on the top of the mountain, and the noisy voices were like pieces of rapidly rolling snowflakes, covering the top of the mountain.
When Gu Yunying arrived at the top of the mountain, she happened to read all the information, she looked around, there were probably hundreds of scattered cultivators gathered here, some of them were alone in the corner, but most of them were chatting together in pairs and threes, but in the relatively central position it was very empty, only more than ten monks stood proudly, as if forming a natural isolation area with the people around them.
Gu Yunying saw that those monks had the marks of their respective sects, the Eight Divine Hall, the Nandou Pavilion, and the Jinling Li Clan, all three of which were first-class Xuanmen forces that had been famous for a long time, and in essence, they were not on the same level as those who had no foundation in loose cultivation, especially these young disciples were the leaders in the sect, not to mention scattered cultivation, I am afraid that even the disciples of the Sword Sect may not be able to look down on them.
While she was observing others, there were also quite a few people quietly watching her.
After all, now that kendo is withering, there are not many monks who choose to practice kendo, and a large part of them are male cultivators, and it is rare to see female sword cultivators, let alone female cultivators who look so beautiful.
A lot of discussion began to revolve around her, and from time to time his eyes skimmed over her, almost becoming the focus of the male cultivator.
Even the three sect disciples who had no one in their eyes paid attention to Gu Yunying, who was good-looking and lonely, and at the same time, they also found that Gu Yunying's eyes were also looking at them.
"Ahem, this Taoist friend, below is Zhan Zhixiong, a disciple of the Eight Gods Hall, dare to ask the name of the Taoist friend?" A burly young man walked up to Gu Yunying and asked directly.
Gu Yunying glanced at this person, sat down with the introduction of the person on the information, and said, "My surname is Gu." β
"Is Gu Daoyou going to prepare to participate in the trial of the Sword Sect? With all due respect, female cultivators are not suitable for sword cultivation at all, so it is better to give up early. As soon as Zhan Zhixiong opened his mouth, he vetoed Gu Yunying.
Gu Yunying looked at him indifferently, who gave him a face to casually veto a person he didn't know?
However, Zhan Zhixiong didn't seem to notice her displeasure, his eyes swept around her delicate appearance, his heart was hot, and he continued: "Gu Daoyou, you may not know that the Sword Sect has actually been in decline for many years, and it won't be long before it will be impeached and fallen from the position of the Heavenly Sect, you might as well think about other sects, such as our Eight God Hall, which will definitely not be worse than the Sword Sect." β
"No, I've never heard of Yagamido." Gu Yunying refused without thinking.
Zhan Zhixiong's whole face sank, staring at her gloomily.
"Poof, Yashentang, you don't have to worry about it, the girl is not stupid, if she wants to choose, she will definitely choose our Nandou Pavilion."
Gu Yunying looked indifferent: "Don't choose." β
"The girl has vision, the Eight Gods Hall and the Nandou Pavilion are not comparable to our Jinling Li Clan at all, you can come to ......"
"Not coming."
The onlookers saw that Gu Yunying had rejected the three sects alone, and they were all amazed, was this too long?
Gu Yunying let out a long sigh and explained very solemnly to the three sects that were going to come to the Sword Sect to kick the field: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I mean everyone present is spicy chicken." β
[Gain Zhan Zhixiong's Hatred +100.] γ
[Gain Guan Jiu's aggro +100.] γ
[Gain Li Renzhao's aggro +100.] γ
γObtain ......γ
Gu Yunying was in a good mood when she heard this series of hatred values, there was no way, who asked her to find the field for the Sword Sect.
The thick bell came from the gate of the Sword Sect to everyone's ears, and the bell had a special charm, like a dragon roaring up to the sky, sweeping layers of floating clouds, and like a low chant, singing leisurely into everyone's mind, unable to wave away for a long time.
And Gu Yunying only felt that the bell sounded like the sound of a sharp sword coming out of its sheath, like a long sword lying in front of her.
The closed white jade gate of the Sword Sect was slowly opened, and out of it came a group of imposing Sword Sect disciples, led by a woman in scarlet clothes, carrying a black iron heavy sword, almost several times heavier than her people.
Her gaze was like a sharp blade, slowly scanning the people in front of her who were about to participate in the trial, as if she were looking at a plate of fish on a cutting board.
"The hour has come, and the trial begins."
"The first round is the illusion of refining the heart, testing your roots and hearts."
"Those who decide to participate in the trial need to receive a token to enter the illusion, and there are many dangers in the illusion, if you want to exit the trial, you only need to crush the token."
Concise and clear explanation of the rules, the scarlet woman's hands waved, and countless white points of light immediately scattered into the crowd, and everyone caught it, it was a palm-sized black wood token, with different numbers written on it, marking the order of entering the illusion.
Gu Yunying also caught the token, which was engraved with one hundred and nine, which was not in the front, nor was it in the last order.
"The illusion of refining the mind is mainly used to exercise the mind of the disciples of the Sword Sect, so that they can stay away from the control of the seven emotions and six desires, the illusion is divided into seven parts, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire, and only the fear and desire parts will be opened during the trial, because these two are the most likely to arouse evil thoughts in people's hearts, resulting in the loss of the mind."
"I'll give you my own illusion token, you can shuttle at will, you don't need to go through fear and desire, you can directly cross the happy part, which is the easiest part to get through."
Gu Yunying played with the token, and recalled in her mind the words that Shen Yipi told her.
"Squeak." Liheng, who had been wrapping around her neck and sleeping on her shoulder, woke up and opened her eyes suddenly, as if there was still the cruelty and paranoia in her sleep.
The wine bottle with poison, the dark cage, the mockery of everyone like a mask, the majestic palace full of corpses......
And the bones that had been dug up alive......
He would even start dreaming, and fragments flashed by like a horse, teaching him to want to kill everything in front of him.
Gu Yunying touched his head and asked, "You finally woke up?" β
The slender hand was as soft as if it had no bones, and it groped the top of his head wantonly, but the cold palm made him gradually calm down.
"It's time for us to go in, and if you don't have long eyes, you can kill me for me." Gu Yunying said in a low voice.
Li Heng raised his head and saw that Gu Yun's image was a little girl who was doing childish pranks, and smiled slyly at him, the corners of his mouth that usually love to scare people were slightly curved, and he was so proud and cute.
The golden eyes were half-constricted, and he replied in a low voice.
When I raised my eyes again, it was still clear and clear, as if the cruelty I had just leaked was just an illusion.
