Chapter 18 Strength Test
The next day, everyone woke up early and took part in the second test: the force test.
Mingyue and the others were teleported to a very special place by the disciples of Shushan. It is special because it looks like an ancient battlefield, full of ruins and desolate, as if it has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years.
The crowd stopped in front of an old gate, the mottled bronze gate of the gate was closed, and they could not see what was inside. The disciples of Shushan gave each person a spirit card that recorded their personal cultivation and internal strength.
An examiner came to introduce that this ancient city is called Shura City, which is an abandoned ancient battlefield, and it is the place where the force value of the test takers is tested.
After the test taker enters, he will face a variety of different virtual scenes independently, the virtual scene is not fixed, and the scene encountered by the test taker is not the same, maybe they will meet fierce beasts, maybe they will meet monsters, they may encounter natural disasters, or any other dangerous scenes.
No matter what the situation is, the test takers only need to do their best to overcome the difficulties and break out of the difficulties, which is considered to have passed the test, and the record spirit card will record the force value of the testee, which is the test result of the test taker.
The test is limited to twelve hours. Within 12 hours, the test takers must overcome the difficulties to come out, otherwise they will be eliminated. Although the inside of the city gate is only a simulated scene, the test participants will also be injured.
During the test, the test taker can choose to fight against each other or choose to crush the spirit card. If you choose to fight, you only need to kill the strong enemy you encounter, and you will be sent back to the city gate in an instant. If the test is in danger, the test taker can also choose to give up the test, crush the spirit card, and will be sent back to the city gate in an instant, which will be regarded as giving up the test and will be eliminated. As soon as the test takers return to the city gates, any danger they encounter will be cleared on their own.
Mingyue saw Feng Chengcheng, Qiao Chuya, Hua Qiandu, and Mei Ren coming from a distance and came to the examination room to invigilate
Mingyue noticed that Feng Chengcheng, Qiao Chuya, Hua Qiandu, Mei Ren and another young man who looked quite handsome also came, and the five of them were the invigilators of this round of exams, and they were particularly outstanding among the Shushan disciples.
Feng Qicheng stood in the middle of everyone, his white clothes fluttering, as if he had descended from the earth, and Mingyue couldn't help but take a second look.
The arrival of the five invigilators caused a group of female candidates to scream in admiration.
"That's the Five Immortals of Shushan." A round-faced dimple boy next to Mingyue introduced with a smile: "Last time, I only saw four sons in the restaurant, and the other was Murong Yiwen, a disciple of the Medicine Sect, who is said to be a genius who studied medicine. ”
Mingyue remembered that this round-faced young man's name was Han Ruge, she had studied medicine with her mother since she was a child, and after listening to Han Ruge's words, she couldn't help but look at the genius disciple of the medicine sect a few more times. Seeing that he was tall, magnificent, and handsome, I couldn't help but admire him.
As the main invigilator of this round of exams, Feng Chengcheng lectured to the candidates: "This exam seems simple, but it is not easy. Everyone must remember a principle, that is, no matter what kind of situation you encounter, remember that you must know how to judge the truth and falsehood, find out the flaws, and overcome your own demons in order to get out of the predicament. ”
"Yes!" The candidates replied loudly, and their morale was extremely high.
Everyone lined up in front of the city gate, and a Shushan disciple came to open the enchantment of the city gate, and everyone entered, and the space around the city gate began to distort, and the participants were teleported to the city gate in an instant.
Mingyue was instantly transmitted out with everyone, feeling a flower in front of her, and the light around her seemed to be distorted and deformed, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she had been sent to a dilapidated farmer's courtyard.
Mingyue cautiously looked around the farmer's yard, and found that the gate of the farmer's yard was closed, the yard was overgrown with weeds, she saw neither other test participants, nor the so-called monsters, beasts, monsters, and monsters, and there was only an ancient well in the yard. Mingyue approached the ancient well, which was almost dry and there was nothing abnormal.
Mingyue listened intently for a moment, and nothing happened here except the whistling wind.
Mingyue was puzzled, she couldn't stay in this courtyard all the time, right? Just as she hesitated, the closed courtyard door squeaked open, and an extremely beautiful woman walked out with a wooden basin, the woman's familiar eyes and white dress, just like the last time Mingyue saw it, Mingyue stood there like a lightning strike.
"Mother?" Mingyue exclaimed in surprise, tears streaming down her eyes involuntarily.
The beautiful woman turned her head when she heard her voice, and there was surprise in her eyes: "Yue'er? ”
"Mother, aren't you already ...... How did you get here? Mingyue threw herself into the woman's arms and cried with joy, "Mother, Yue'er misses you so much, since that day, Yue'er thought she would never see you again..... ”
She had many things to say to her mother, but she couldn't say anything when she choked in her throat, and she hugged her body tightly, for fear that she would lose her trace in the blink of an eye, and she would never see her again.
The woman gently hugged Mingyue's thin and petite body, but there was no trace of emotion in her bright eyes. She said softly: "My mother promised you to teach you swordsmanship, and I can teach you today." ”
Mingyue raised her tear-stained face in surprise: "Mother, didn't you say that you don't want me to learn swordsmanship and immortal cultivation?" ”
The woman did not speak, but offered a sword: "You see, the trend of this sword move." After that, he gave a demonstration.
Mingyue watched carefully as the woman demonstrated her swordsmanship, and a sword appeared in her hand unconsciously. She followed the moves demonstrated by her mother and gradually compared, I don't know how long time has passed, Mingyue has already memorized all the moves in her mind.
"Mother, I will!" Mingyue cheered: "Mother, isn't Yue'er great?" ”
The woman nodded without any expression and said, "You have done a trick with your mother now, let your mother see how you are doing." ”
Mingyue nodded, raised her sword, and followed the sword move just now to her mother.
She looked at the sky, and she felt as if a long time had passed, but the sun was still hanging in the sky, and there was no sign of darkness at all.
She seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong. In her heart, she just wants to stay here and accompany her mother forever.
Outside Shura City, five inner disciples of Shushan, including Feng Chengcheng, Hua Qiandu, Qiao Chuya, Mei Ren, and Murong Yiwen, as the supervising examiners of the second round of exams, were staring at the huge Qiankun Mirror in front of them without saying a word. The Qiankun mirror is showing the behavior of all the candidates in Shura City at this time.
Some candidates seem to be trapped in some space, and they can't get out of the circle back and forth; Some candidates are waving their arms as hard as they can, as if they are fighting against something with all their might; Some candidates are shy to say something to the air, as if they are dating their sweetheart; There are also candidates holding a knife and slashing their arms frantically, blood flowing; Some candidates fell asleep under the quilt, and the candidates who fell asleep did not know that he might never wake up again if he slept like this......
Qiao Chuya bared his teeth and smiled: "This group of children is quite interesting, should we give a hint?" lest they not be able to get out of their own demons? ”
Feng Qingcheng frowned and looked at the scene in the Qiankun mirror, and then looked at the sky, most of the time had passed, and so far no candidate had come out.
Feng Qingcheng shook his head and said with a solemn face: "If a person can't even defeat his own heart demon, then he will not be suitable for cultivating immortals. ”
Hua Qiandu pointed to a young man in the Qiankun mirror and said, "This young man seems to be coming out soon." ”
The person he said was Mu Xiaotian, and he saw that Mu Xiaotian had blood dripping from his arm, wielding his sword, and slashing towards the opposite side with all his might. In the blink of an eye, Mu Xiaotian appeared at the gate of Shura City.
He looked at his arm in disbelief, only to see that the arm that was still bloody just now was intact at this time, and his heart was suddenly relieved.
Soon many more people came out of the city one after another. There are also candidates who choose to crush the spirit card and automatically give up the second round of the test, and they look lost and depressed after they come out, which looks particularly funny. Qiao Chuya stared at a girl dancing alone with strange sword moves in the Qiankun mirror and exclaimed, "Isn't that Sister Mingyue?" The hour is almost up, why hasn't she come out yet? ”
Feng Chengcheng also stared at the Qiankun Mirror for a long time, and said, "She is young and simple-minded, and she won't be unable to come out." ”
Hua Qiandu said anxiously: "Mingyue's little sister is so cute, it won't be fun if she can't get out." ”
Mingyue was still testing swordsmanship with the woman, and after an unknown amount of time, she glanced at the sun in the sky again, and her heart suddenly stirred, she finally understood that something was wrong.
She had been with her mother for so long, and the sun in the sky had remained motionless in that position.
As soon as Mingyue thought of this, she saw the mother in front of her turn into smoke and disappear in front of her.
"Mother!" Mingyue stretched out her hand to grab the beautiful woman, and as soon as she saw a flower, she appeared outside Shura City
Mingyue's hand was still stretched out to show the appearance of grasping, her face was already full of tears, and her heart hurt uncontrollably.
Hua Qiandu breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand at Mingyue and shouted, "Little Sister Mingyue, you finally came out." ”
Mingyue raised her eyes and saw Feng Tingcheng and the others looking at her with concern, quickly reached out and wiped the tears on her face, and lowered her head embarrassedly.
Murong Yiwen couldn't help but look at this beautiful and innocent immature girl a few more times, and a touch of surprise flashed in her eyes.
According to the results of the spirit card record and the performance of the participants, more than 400 participants participated in the second round of the test, and in the end, only 268 people passed the test, and more than 140 people were eliminated.
Those who are eliminated are sent out of Shushan Xianmen, and those who pass the second round of tests are settled in the dormitory to rest for three days, and after three days, they will participate in the third round of testing, which is the last test.
Mingyue found that there were many familiar faces among the people who passed the second round of testing, including Nangong Yurou, Dou Ruhua, Mo Yao, and the beautiful princess Nalan Meidai and Jiang Yiyi, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, one of the four major families. Man, she saw Niu Zhuangzhuang, Mu Xiaotian, Han Ruge, Feng Linchuan and others.
The accommodation conditions arranged by Shushan Xianmen are very good, the food is very rich, there is a place to eat and live, and there is a place to wash.
The next morning, everyone had lunch together. Mingyue is more familiar with Nangong Yurou, Dou Ruhua, Mo Yao and others, and several people sit together and chat while eating.
At the table on the other side sat Princess Nalan Meidai and Jiang Yiyi. Nalan Meidai is beautiful and indifferent, Jiang Yiyi is arrogant and scathing, the two are old acquaintances, and they don't care much about others, but they are also like-minded together.
Feng Linchuan, who claimed to be the prince of Fengluan Kingdom, seemed to like to follow Princess Nalan very much, basically where Princess Nalan appeared, Feng Linchuan appeared there, as if he became the follower of Nalan Meidai and Jiang Yiyi.
Mingyue analyzed the situation she encountered in the second round of testing afterwards, and there was a faint pain in her heart. Perhaps, the grief of losing his mother has been unable to get out, which is his biggest demon, right? However, even if she encountered only an illusion, as long as she could see her mother, it would be enough.
