Chapter 183: Dead or Wounded
Putting away the sword and looking to the east, watching the red sun gradually turn into a dazzling gold, watching the flakes of white clouds that had been supported under the red sun slowly disperse, the fifth Tingyun exhaled a breath of turbidity. In the soft light, his whole person seemed to have become much more relaxed, the last time he saw the sunrise, it was in the mountains of Jialing Province, right?
It's only been a few months, but he is at the peak of the Beidong Heavenly Palace, which is thousands of miles away from Jialing Province, watching the same round of the sun slowly rise, but what he thinks and feels in his heart is probably very different from before.
Last time, there were still people with him? I don't know where Bai Jie's girl is now, and what's going on? It's been more than ten days since the qualifying tournament was exempted, and he has been wandering around the borders of the empire, and he has never been able to find out the news of Shifu and Bai Jie, which makes him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Ha!
Ooh!
The sound of morning exercise from the Eastern Hall pulled him back from his thoughts, and he smiled bitterly, knowing that he still had a long way to go. Retracted his thoughts, re-entered the meditation state on the spot, practiced for a few weeks, and felt that the dantian was full before he returned to the Yaochi residence.
At this time, the sun had all risen, but it was still a little dark under the pine and bamboo forest, and the hour was still early, so most of the students had not yet gotten up. On the contrary, several of those new casual cultivators who joined the team actually came out of the bamboo forest at the back, presumably like the fifth Tingyun, who had been practicing for a morning.
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning, and these scattered practices are very hard.
Comparatively speaking, those students from Shenjing are more casual. However, who told them to have a family background, occupy a lot of opportunities for time and place, and experience a lot, just relying on the pill they can get rid of a lot of cultivation, they naturally don't have to work too hard.
"You're going to practice your sword?"
Unexpectedly, the fifth Tingyun had just returned to Yaochi Xiaoju and ran into Princess Allure. Princess Allure also seemed to be a little surprised, looked up and down at the fifth listening cloud, her beautiful eyes stopped at the fifth listening cloud's left hand for a moment, and asked gently.
"Hmm. The fifth Tingyun nodded, and secretly said that his eyes were so poisonous!
Looking at the direction in which Princess Allure walked, it didn't seem that she had just come out of Yaochi Xiaoju, and there seemed to be traces of sweat being wiped on her smooth forehead. Fifth Tingyun couldn't help but be a little impressed by the seventh princess of this royal family, in the Xuanhe Emperor's family, it was rare to be able to work so hard.
In fact, what he doesn't know, the more he is born in the emperor's family, the more he should work harder than ordinary people. Because they were born with a high starting point, the higher the starting point and the greater the risk, the more fierce the competition, and the sense of crisis of the imperial family is far beyond the imagination of mortals!
Fifth, listen to the clouds and stand quietly, let the princess of Allure go first. Princess Allure didn't say anything, and walked back to the small residence with a swaying posture. Fifth, listening to the clouds, looking at the beautiful back, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
Living in Yaochi Xiaoju, the Yanhua Empire and his party did not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and every time they went to the three-meal restaurant, there would be a disciple from the Beidong Heavenly Palace to bring food. Other than that, they couldn't see any of the other disciples of the Cave Heavenly Palace, and gradually they also found that their range of activities seemed to be limited to the pine and bamboo forests, and once they crossed the forest, someone would come out to stop them.
For three days, except for going out in the morning to continue practicing the left-handed sword, the fifth Tingyun stayed closed for the rest of the time, meditating and cultivating alone day and night. The time for the entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and he missed the promotion and exemption qualification, so he can only hope for the entrance examination.
This will be his last chance to take the entrance exam.
It was also the only chance for him to get the badge of the Martial God Temple and save his parents' lives.
Although he was in the top four in the promotion and exemption qualifying round, he could theoretically choose a college to enroll, but because of Li Chunshan's calculations, he failed to appear in the final of the promotion and exemption qualification. Then, the four academies will definitely not wait for him, and must have given the place to others.
"Tianmen Li Mansion!" Every time he thought of this, the fifth Tingyun always clenched his fists, reminding himself not to forget this life and death grudge. And this is naturally one of the sources of his practice of forgetting to sleep and eat.
Three days passed like a white horse.
Early that morning, the fifth Tingyun did not go out again, but meditated in the house, waiting for the arrival of Deacon Wang. Today, the Yaochi Association should officially begin, he has not seen the young cultivators of the other two countries, and after three days of retreat, he really wants to understand the so-called genius boy of Yimen and the Southern Xinjiang Empire.
"How many days have you been resting?"
A voice came in, and when the fifth listener, he thought of Deacon Wang's smiling face.
He got dressed, fastened his sword bag, and pushed the door out. In front of Yaochi's small residence, the student team led by the princess of Allure City had all stood up, and it seemed that they were waiting for him.
Deacon Wang looked at the Fifth Tingyun and nodded very friendly, which made the Fifth Tingyun stunned for a moment.
"Your Royal Highness, please continue to wait here, and I will take them to the specific location of the Yaochi Society. Half a month at most, seven days at least, and the Yaochi meeting will end. Deacon Wang respectfully bowed and said.
The princess of Allure replied: "There is a deacon Lao." ”
"Where, where. ”
Deacon Wang said a few polite words, then turned to face the students and said, "Regarding the Yaochi Society, there are some things that must be explained clearly now, and please listen carefully." He has always maintained a humble and polite attitude, even in the face of these hairy boys, there is no arrogance and contempt.
"The Yaochi Meeting of my Farewell Heavenly Palace is a competition and experience carried out in cooperation with the three major empires of your country, the Yimen Empire, and the Southern Xinjiang Empire. In the competition, there will inevitably be hard fighting, and when fighting, there will inevitably be bloodshed, injuries, and even death. ”
After a while, the students fell silent.
Deacon Wang continued: "For this, the agreement reached between my Beidong Heavenly Palace and the Three Kingdoms has been agreed that in the Yaochi Meeting, there will be no casualties. If you regret your participation, you can withdraw now. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the students immediately looked at each other, they had never heard of death before they came. Injuries are inevitable, but is it still their intention to go through the training? Everyone is here to practice, not to work hard.
Everyone, you look at me, I'll look at you, and finally looked at Princess Allure, but Princess Allure looked calm, obviously knowing this agreement of "whether you are killed or injured". So, what should I do now? Will I quit? Who wants to quit now? And if I quit now, how will they explain to their friends and relatives when they return to Shenjing?
With a lot of concerns, no one even mentioned quitting.
Deacon Wang looked at the solemn expressions on the faces of the students and said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to quit halfway, you can do it, as long as you can come back here and return to this Yaochi small residence, then no one will dare to make a move on you here." ”
As soon as they heard this, the students relaxed a little.
"Okay, come with me. Deacon Wang turned around and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
More than forty trainees followed.
"General Xu, is this kind of experience really necessary?" Princess Allure looked at the slightly childish figures that disappeared into the bamboo forest, sighed, and asked. She knew that this time of training, someone would definitely be seriously injured and would take a few months to recover, and some people would even be abolished for cultivation, the dantian would be destroyed, and they would not be allowed to practice for life.
As for death, she wasn't too worried, because there had been an agreement of "dead or wounded" over the years, but the people of the three empires also had some tacit agreements, that is, not to make mortal enemies, and to avoid human life as much as possible!
"It is necessary that true cultivators do not learn in the classroom. General Xu Hu stood behind the left side of the princess of Allure and said, "Instead, it wanders between life and death again and again, struggles, tempers, and transforms!"
