Chapter 133: Trial
Several people followed closely behind the herald monk, and after coming out of the Yanchi Palace, they walked out of the city, and after leaving the city, the herald monk's footsteps gradually increased.
The yellow-robed old man's face did not change, and he still followed closely behind the herald monk, while the other three monks struggled a little, and the distance between them and the herald monk and the yellow-robed old man became farther and farther, and Lin Yun followed behind the three monks unhurriedly.
Half an hour later, the herald monk and the old man in the yellow robe had disappeared, and the three fierce monks did not know the direction, so they had to stop in place out of breath and wait for the arrangement.
Lin Yun sat cross-legged on the side alone, the situation in front of him was clear at a glance, this was obviously also a test, there was no reason for the Zoroastrian Sect to let these low-level monks slip away in vain, and the people who did not follow the steps of the monks should have other arrangements.
Sure enough, after waiting for less than a cup of tea, a red-robed monk appeared and ordered the four, "You four, come here." ”
The other three looked at each other and walked up together, followed by Lin Yun.
"It was a test that you did not pass. The red-robed monk pointed to a few people and explained.
"What?" Hearing this, the three shirtless monks exclaimed, and they were greatly remorseful about the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.
"Sure enough, and I had foresight. Lin Yun secretly said, he had discussed with Jian Er before he came, in order to avoid meeting Chi Yan, his status in the Zoroastrian Sect must not be too high, but it should not be too low, otherwise he may not even be qualified to participate in the battle of Sima Mansion.
Therefore, Lin Yun deliberately missed this opportunity and decided to observe and observe. Yan Chiguo suffered a defeat last time, it is the time to select talents, the best way to select talents is to eliminate them layer by layer, and then select the stronger ones from these eliminators, and then select them, and finally gather all the elites together.
Lin Yun sighed secretly, Yan Chi Guo's move was really vicious, forcibly recruiting all the monks, and the next time there was a war, I am afraid that the Xue Kingdom would be very passive.
During the battle of Panlong Town, there were only a few dozen Zhou Tian monks in the Yanchi army, and most of them were newly promoted to Zhou Tian and the realm was still unstable.
But after Yan Chi Guo made this ruthless move, the number of monks who could be mobilized when starting a war increased exponentially, and I am afraid that the Hail Snow Country would be in trouble at that time.
Seeing everyone's remorse, the red-robed monk smiled dumbly, he clapped his hands lightly, stopped the noise of the three monks, and said, "Don't be dissatisfied, you still have a chance." ”
"What chance?" the few couldn't help but ask.
"Recently, there has been a shortage of scouts in the Sect, so the Sect intends to promote monks who are good at speed to perform an important task, but those who pass the level will be rewarded. The few words of the cardinal monk aroused the illusion of the bare-chested monk about being promoted and making a fortune.
Lin Yun's eyes also lit up, the lack of scouts to carry out an important task, could it be about Sima Yan? Sima Yan is now missing, and the Zoroastrian high-level should have begun to wonder if he used the birthday banquet to attract attention, but he ran away first, so the important task assigned at this time should be related to Sima Yan.
Subconsciously touched his chin, Lin Yun suddenly remembered that his chin still had a beard attached to it, at this time, he suddenly thought of a question that made him frightened, he was obviously middle-aged in his current dress, but the old man in the yellow robe called him Xiaoyou before, could the latter see his true identity?
Lin Yun shook the hilt of the sword on his waist and shook his head slightly, the old man in the yellow robe was so light-hearted, I hope he won't talk too much.
"Dare to ask my lord, what is the content of this test?" Lin Yun asked in a low voice.
"Since you're going to pick scouts, speed is of course a priority, but since you've been eliminated, there's no need to test. The red-robed monk replied with a smile, paused, and continued, "However, scouts sometimes don't necessarily need to be fast. ”
Lin Yun was a little unsure So, what does this red-robed monk mean? Scouts rely most on speed, if they can't even guarantee speed, how can they convey information quickly?
The red-robed monk took an incense stick from his sleeve and continued: "Sometimes, wisdom is far more useful than wisdom. Therefore, the content of this test is your wisdom. ”
"What kind of test?" asked one of the shirtless monks on behalf of the crowd.
The red-robed monk pointed to a mountain peak in the distance, and said with a smile: "Do you see that mountain, the mountain is very complicated, it is very suitable for hiding, you have a stick of incense to hide, and after a stick of incense, I will send someone up the mountain to find you, and if you can hold on to a stick of incense in the hands of my people without being discovered, it will be considered a pass." ”
"It's still about speed. Lin Yun secretly thought to himself, as soon as he heard the rules, he immediately saw through the key, that mountain seemed to be more than ten miles away, and even if the slower people barely ran to the mountain after a stick of incense, they would not have time to hide, and they would be discovered immediately.
"Are you ready?" asked the red-robed monk with a smile.
The other three looked at each other, cheered each other on, and nodded heavily.
"What about you?" the red-robed monk asked Lin Yun, he was a loyal member of Zoroastrianism, and this was to select talents for Zoroastrianism, so he was very patient.
Lin Yun also nodded slightly, this test is simply simple for him, he just needs to find a random place to hide after going up the mountain, but how can he explain it after that?
I saw that the red-robed monk stretched out his thumb and index finger and pinched it on the incense head, and green smoke floated on the incense, and he smiled and said, "It's started, you guys go." ”
Needless to say, Lin Yun and the other three monks also rushed out like sharp arrows, rushing towards the mountain peak in the distance.
Lin Yun glanced at the other three monks, if he wanted to show his true speed, he would have to part ways with them, although it was far away, but for Lin Yun, who was known for his speed, this distance was obviously not a problem.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun suddenly separated from the other three monks and ran towards another path.
One of the three monks shouted dumbfounded, "Hey, you ......"
"Leave it alone, how can we have time to care about others?"
"yes, let's go!"
The remaining two monks hurriedly urged, and the monk saw this, and continued to run forward helplessly.
Lin Yun stood on the treetops and smiled slightly when he saw the three monks far away, and then he quickly swept into the distance. As he flickered, Lin Yun felt the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, like a bolt of lightning, quickly shuttling through the shadows of the trees.
Ever since he had cultivated the Kuishui Body Refining Technique once in the Ice Field, Lin Yun had been relying on his mount to hurry, and now in the middle of the leap, he felt the increase in his speed. At this time, Lin Yun understood why Mo Zixun would focus on marking the Kwai Water Refining Body Technique, its effect was too big and too big.
Leaving a few afterimages in the air like a dazzling skill, Lin Yun couldn't help but let out a long howl, others need a stick of incense to arrive, and now he can't even reach his destination in half a pillar of incense.
It was a mountain about 100 feet high, and the mountain was like a sea of trees, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there were dense trees, and there were several caves on the mountain, no wonder the red-robed monk said that this mountain was very easy to hide.
The cultivation of the monks who can come here to be tested must not be too high, so Lin Yun speculated that the manpower sent by the red-robed monks should all be below the fifth level of Qi cultivation, which means that they do not have a complete Yuan Shen yet.
Lin Yun casually found a tree and lay down comfortably on the branch, he was going to see what means the red-robed monk had before speaking.
Calculating the time, the time for a stick of incense had almost passed, and Lin Yun saw the three monks who set off with him, they appeared at the foot of the mountain panting, and it seemed that they didn't even have the strength to climb the mountain.
At this time, dozens of red-clothed people suddenly poured out from all directions and surrounded the trio, these people should be the subordinates of the red-robed monk, and the poor trio was arrested before they could start hiding. Seeing this, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, he originally wanted to use those three people as cannon fodder.
At the moment, the man in red should start searching the mountain immediately, Lin Yun hurriedly climbed more than ten zhang up the mountain like a spirit monkey, as the so-called standing high and seeing far, he stood on a high place, and could see more things.
After the red-clothed men captured the three monks, they left five to watch them, and the rest all headed up the hill.
Strangely, when they got up the mountain, they didn't immediately start searching, but gathered around, not knowing what they were discussing.
When Lin Yun was thinking about whether to get closer and listen to what they were saying, the red-clothed people suddenly split into two parts, one more and one less, the less part swept towards the top of the mountain, and the more part ran towards the foot of the mountain.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yun thought about it for a while and understood their intentions. These red-clothed people should also know that Lin Yun is the only one left on the mountain. Sometimes, the most troublesome method is precisely the most effective, and it is not easy to find someone in the mountains, so they should gradually narrow the search area and trap the enemy on the mountainside.
At this time, Lin Yun also had a little headache, this kind of layout is easy to crack, but difficult to say.
It's easy to say, as long as Lin Yun dodges their first wave of search, he will be able to do it once and for all.
Let's put it hard, the two parts that the cardinals were divided into formed a circle, one part searched up along the foot of the mountain, and the other part searched down along the top of the mountain, and there were no dead ends at all.
Unless he was invisible, it would be difficult for even Lin Yun to escape from this layout, but if he was stealth to avoid the search, he would not be able to explain when the red-robed monk asked after the test.
"What can I do about this?" After Lin Yun saw through the man's conspiracy, he quickly descended the mountain and rushed to the position halfway up the mountain, buying himself some time, and if he went on like this, he didn't need a pillar of incense, and these red-clothed people could search the entire mountain.
