Chapter 11: The Lotus Pond
Lotus pond
When Qianyun saw clearly what the black and smoking thing was, his mouth was already full of fun, and he did it beside the bed, holding his stomach and laughing:
"What's wrong with you? Why did the white cat become a black cat, and you are going to be a sheriff? Haha..."
It turned out that the black thing was the white tiger that had disappeared for a long time.
"What are you laughing at, laugh again, be careful that I scratch you to death!" Seeing Qianyun laughing at herself, the cat stretched out her paw and scratched the floor fiercely to threaten her.
"Okay, okay, I'm not smiling, tell me about it, what the hell is going on?" Although Qianyun's mouth couldn't help laughing, her body kept shaking.
"Alas, it's really bad luck today, I just got a very fat duck, and I'm flying back, trying to find a quiet place and get rid of it." The cat thought back to the release just now, and when he talked about the duck, his saliva flowed out, and his eyes were full of greed.
"But I didn't know that a white light came from there, and it hit the duck in my mouth, and it blew me up so badly. Fortunately, God bless me as a divine beast, and I have rough skin and thick flesh, and this injury is nothing, but it just ruined my good hair. If it were someone else, I guess, I would really have to play chess with his old man. The cat recounted her encounter while boasting about herself.
"Alas, it was the pity of my duck that was turned into powder at once. Woohoo lament, woohoo lament. In the end, the cat said that his eyes were full of tears, and he whined out on his chest, and he didn't know how reluctant he was to the fat duck.
"But when I wanted to seek revenge on the owner of the white light, I didn't see any movement, but I guessed that that person should be near this inn." The cat said with a look of resentment, as if it would tear the man to shreds if it had caught him.
Qianyun is considered to be obedient to the order, what is going on, she wants to be happy but she doesn't dare to be happy, and she doesn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that if she says it, this cowardly cat will have to fall out with her.
Seeing that he was dark and didn't want to be embarrassed outside, the cat made an excuse, turned into a fine light, drilled back into the "Hundred Beast Phantom Soul Bead", and quietly recuperated from his injuries.
Qianyun saw in his consciousness that the cat was already asleep before he dared to think that the "Hibiscus Jade Finger" he created seemed to be very powerful, and it could make this guy so embarrassed. There is no need to experiment with Tan Tianhe anymore, otherwise with his poor defensive ability, he would have to take his life.
The next morning, everyone got up early, ate breakfast, and went to the Qingming Temple.
The three of Qianyun walked together, but Tan Tianhe was strange that the cowardly cat had run away, and he had never seen it disappear for so long before. It can be seen that Qianyun is not in a hurry to find it, presumably she came back last night, so she didn't ask her again.
After a while, everyone came to the foot of Liu Heng Mountain, and it was Weng Qiwei who greeted their group of scholars and scholars.
Weng Qiwei is still dressed as a scholar, but he has an extra folding fan in his hand, with a graceful demeanor, looking at everyone with sparkling eyes, as if he is looking for something. When he saw the three of Qianyun, he couldn't help but nod his head, and the smile on his face was a little more.
"It seems that the strength of the people who came this year is not bad, after passing through Wenshan Town, there are still so many left, and this first wave has not eliminated a few people." Weng Qiwei is leisurely and authentic.
"The people you found this year, it doesn't seem to be very good, when you make a move, it makes a lot of noise, but it doesn't scare a few away." A woman turned out behind Weng Qiwei at some point, and said with disdain.
Everyone was confused, but Qianyun understood the meaning.
It turned out that the Qingming Temple deliberately let everyone stay in Wenshan Town, the purpose was to let everyone have some friction in that crowded town, so there were some fights. Let some of these powerful people come out and show it, and scare off some people who are not good in cultivation and have poor mental quality, and then it will save them the trouble of testing again.
Qianyun looked at Wu Nanzi Qiu, thinking that he had guessed the reason, and he didn't know if his help yesterday and that kind of true feelings were still true.
The woman was dressed in a water-green shirt, with embroidered cloth shoes on white soles, thin eyebrows, a full figure, and jade-like skin that deceived frost and snow, and her appearance was also extremely beautiful.
"Senior Sister Ruotong, didn't we say okay, I will supervise this first level, why are you here too?" Weng Qiwei looked at Lan Ruotong, and there was that kind of look in his eyes, no one else needed to ask, he knew that you liked her expression.
"The people you found last year were all wiped out, and none of them were real, I'm afraid that you deliberately released water this year, so that those who were not strong mixed in, and when you got inside, the second senior brother was affected." Lan Ruotong said as if she was deliberately embarrassing him.
After Lan Ruotong finished speaking, she didn't wait for Weng Qiwei to speak, so she beckoned everyone to go to the mountain gate, and Weng Qiwei had no choice but to follow behind her, he had no resistance to this beautiful senior sister at all.
Lan Ruotong led everyone to a stone table, and asked everyone to write down their names, as well as the clan and the country they belonged to, as if they were registered.
When it was Qianyun's turn, it made her a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to write, her heart was complicated for a long time, and finally wrote "Liang Qiuguo, Yizhou Town, Qianyun." A few words.
And when it came to Wu Nanziqiu, what he wrote in the booklet was only one name, and he didn't even write the origin of the country.
After the registration was completed, everyone followed Lan Ruotong and Weng Qiwei into the mountain gate, but what was reflected in front of them was a pool of clear pool water. The lotus leaves on the surface of the pool, emerald green, dark green, different colors, smooth and shiny, they squeeze next to each other, compete for the upward, the big drops of dew on the lotus leaves, like the bright night pearl emit dazzling light.
At the top of the thorny lotus stalks, there are lotus flowers in full bloom. The color of the lotus flower is very special, each is different, some are white and flawless, some are white and red, some are red with green, and there are many budding flower bones.
The breeze suddenly rose, the surface of the lotus pond rippled layer by layer, and the lotus leaves and lotus flowers also swayed gently, so that now they danced, attracting a few dragonflies to fly and flutter over the lotus pond, like a scene in an elegant and pure painting!
Lan Ruotong walked up to everyone and said loudly:
"This is the first level you want to enter the Qingming Temple, 'Lotus Pond'! Only after passing through here can you be regarded as a person of the Clear Mind, but that is only an outer sect. ”
Weng Qiwei saw that Lan Ruotong said simply, and he stepped forward to add a reminder:
"Although this is only the first level, but when you pass through the 'lotus pond', you should also be careful, don't underestimate these lotus flowers and lotus leaves, they are alive, they are also one of the magic weapons of this Qingming Guanshan to guard the pass......"
Lan Ruotong heard that Weng Qiwei was going to continue, and thought that he was a little talkative, so he used the jade flute that he had conjured up at some point in his hand and tapped it on his waist. Weng Qiwei was suddenly stunned by her, and she couldn't move when she stood there.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw that Weng Qiwei was restrained, and they didn't know why Lan Ruotong was so arrogant. A few more people saw that the "lotus pond" was pleasant, and they couldn't see any danger, so they were ready to move, and wanted to be the first to pass.
The man came to the edge of the pool, and saw that the water width of the pool was only about twenty feet, and he thought that this first level was too simple, and he could jump over it as soon as he turned his head.
The man leapt into the air and jumped towards the other side of the "lotus pond", but while he was still thinking of himself, he was hit by something unknown. At first, he continued to run forward despite the pain, but when he entered the center of the "lotus pond", he was hit by many projectiles. He bared his teeth, and could no longer bear the pain to the bone, so he plunged headlong into the water of the "Lotus Pond".
The man fell into the water, only to see a few splashes on the surface of the pool, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Everyone by the pond was amazed, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and it turned out that there were countless lotus canopies under the lotus leaves.
The lotus canopy is also in a variety of postures, some of them stand tall and look very vigorous; Some bowed their heads and hid, as if they were a little shy; Those who were already mature, seemed to have swarthy heads and big bulging eyes; Those immature, as if looking up on their round faces, showed a slight smile.
But they were the icing on the cake for the beautiful scenery just now, but they were very dangerous, and when the man flew up, they were like birds hunting in the air, and they kept firing lotus seeds like iron and stone, and they would not stop until they shot him down.
Lan Ruotong saw that everyone was panicked, but said with an indifferent face:
"I forgot to tell you, this 'lotus pond' can't fly over."
Qianyun stood aside and scolded in his heart, grandma has a leg, you said it early, aren't you a cheater?
Qianyun didn't know who this old woman was, she only heard that Weng Qiwei call her Senior Sister Ruotong, she should be ranked before him, and she could restrain him as soon as she made a move, and her cultivation strength should be higher than Weng Qiwei.
Originally, that Weng Qiwei was going to remind everyone to pay attention, but she was gagged by this woman with a snake heart, as if she was just going to watch the excitement, and let the person go on an adventure innocently, and I don't know if he was dead or alive at this time.
When Qianyun secretly scolded the old woman, someone rushed out again, and said confidently to Lan Ruotong:
"Hmph, just a lotus pond, a few iron lotus seeds, what's so scary, since you won't be allowed to fly over, then step on the lotus leaves."
After speaking, he lowered his body and floated forward, stepping on the lotus leaves like a dragonfly in water, and kept jumping towards the opposite bank. However, when he jumped to the center of the "lotus pond" and just stepped on a lotus leaf on the soles of his feet, the lotus leaf, which was swaying in the wind, suddenly sucked him in like a whirlpool trap!
But when everyone by the pool was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, Tan Tianhe laughed a little arrogantly, patted his chest at Qianyun and said:
"Grandma, I have a way!"
