Chapter 12: The Tribulation (3)

"Everyone's calamity is different, to become an immortal, you only need to receive a few heavenly thunders, the emperor and queen of heaven see that you are pleasing to the eye, they will give you a thunder, see that you are not pleasing to the eye, give you three thunders. ”

Five minutes ago, Jiu'er saw the word "Tribulation" in Xiang Shen's study, and asked why the introduction of the Tribulation in the book was hastily and what the Tribulation was, but Xiang Shen pondered for a moment and said these words, which made Jiu'er, who didn't understand it, even more incomprehensible.

"That..."Jiu'er's expression was distorted, he closed the book in his hand, pointed to the sky, and asked, "Heavenly people, who else is pleasing to the eye?"

Xiang Shen pouted, closed his eyes, thought about Bai Yi, and said: "Of course, not long ago, there was a long white and tender cultivator who went through the tribulation, and everyone else was a heavenly thunder, but he was good, three heavenly thunders went down together, and he was almost not chopped to death, you say, treat him so kindly, the Emperor of Heaven likes him?"

Jiu'er is no stranger to the word "Emperor of Heaven", she has heard it from storytellers, she likes these myths and stories very much, she can hear the word "Emperor of Heaven" from Xiang Shen, but she feels as if there is such a person in the sky.

"Isn't that from a myth? Is there really such a person in this heaven?"

Faced with Jiu'er's question, Xiang Shen just sighed lightly and asked rhetorically: "There are emperors in the world, how can there be no emperors in the heavenly realm?"

It sounds very reasonable, Jiu'er thought about it, could it be that the emperor of the world died, and he went to heaven to be the emperor?

"So how old did a Heavenly Emperor die?

Xiang Shen, who was sitting on the chair, almost didn't fall off, opened his eyes and looked at her and said seriously: "There is only one Emperor of Heaven, and he will live until he wants to die." ”

"Oh. Jiu'er thought in his mind that the emperors of the previous dynasties were in the vast heavenly realm, and the appearance of kneeling down to the first emperor was really pitiful.

"Obviously when he was in the world, he was bowed down by 10,000 people, but when he came to the heavenly realm, he had to bow to others, and he was so aggrieved. Jiu'er muttered.

Xiang Shen didn't know that the Emperor of Heaven in Jiu'er's imagination was like this, so he didn't explain too much, closed his eyes again, and enjoyed the rare quiet.

But after a moment of silence, he opened his eyes again and asked, "What are your plans for the future?" ”

Jiu'er replied while reading the book: "I will still go to Wanxianju to find my younger brother, after all, he is my only relative in this world." ”

The black eyes flickered slightly, and he was instantly affectionate, and after a long time, Xiang Shen said softly: " Remember, don't go looking for Ye Yijiang, everyone has everyone's calamity, your father died, because the tribulation failed, and your brother has no news, it must be the same as your father, the tribulation failed, the demons harm people every year, the disciples of Wanxianju fight with demons in order to protect the lives of the people, so there are also dead disciples every year, in order not to make their families sad, these disciples hope that the brothers and masters of Wanxianju before they die, do not tell their families the bad news, so you can't find it. ”

The book in Jiu'er's hand fell to the ground, and she looked at Xiang Shen in shock, but Xiang Shen didn't care about her sadness at all, and continued: "So, don't look for it, he's dead." ”

"How... Although he didn't admit it in his mouth, he was thinking about it, and only this explanation could explain it, his younger brother was not an unfilial person, if he hadn't died, how could he not have gone home to see his father and himself for so many years?

Jiu'er squatted on the ground, buried his head in his knees and cried bitterly, Xiang Shen didn't step forward to comfort, he had always been cold, looking at him actually looking at her distressedly, in fact, Xiang Shen was not sure that Ye Yijiang had died, but he had to lie to her like this, so that she could always be by his side, and let her avoid the catastrophe of this life!

Three years later –

The village under Dugu Mountain is still lively, there is no change at all, everything looks very peaceful, the people's lives are still stable, but the demon world has changed a lot, before because of the sinking was sealed, the demon world has no owner, and it is declining day by day, but after returning to the demon position, it is reorganized, so that the demon world has a million demon armies in the past three years, each of them is brave and good at fighting, and Wan Xianju does not show weakness, since Bai Yi is listed as an immortal, cultivators from all over the country have come to ask Wan Xianju to take him in as a disciple, Wan Xianju is getting stronger and stronger, and the strength is not to be underestimated。

In the middle of the bustling street, there is a "Ruyi" tavern, which is overcrowded today, and for some reason, a handsome boy in a light blue robe, holding a sword engraved with a lotus flower pattern in his hand, walked in with light steps. Looking closely, this son's facial features are delicate, his eyebrows are like crescent moons, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are bright, and his temperament is extraordinary.

"Eh, this little Taoist, you also went to Wanxian Ju for the exam?" The shopkeeper was quick-eyed, and as soon as he said hello, he had already wiped a table next to him, and said respectfully: "You are really lucky, there is just a vacant seat here, and you are here." ”

I saw that this boy didn't appreciate it, looked at all the people in the store with disdain, snorted lightly, and turned around to leave.

"Eh, this little Taoist priest, don't go, or I'll set up a table for you outside?"

She had never left the Demon Realm in the past three years, so she really didn't know, why would Wanxian Ju recruit disciples and make a broken tavern overcrowded?

"I don't really like the taste inside, and it would be great if I had a separate table outside, but I can't have anyone else at this table. The broken silver in Jiu'er's hand was given to the shopkeeper, and said: "Just give me a pot of tea, you don't need anything else, you don't need to find the rest, when the time comes, I will go up the mountain to take the exam, and I won't stay with you for too long." ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he looked at the broken silver, and let out a shout of "Okay!" and quickly set up a new table and a new chair for Jiu'er, which made the other guests in the tavern dissatisfied.

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean? They are all here to take the exam, you can't judge people by their appearance, look at that son looks like a woman, just treat him specially, he is a new table and a new chair, why do we use the old one?"

The shopkeeper was real, and happily showed off the broken silver, saying, "People have spent money." ”

Money can make ghosts grind, money can make the mouth tight, this sentence has not changed for eternity, those people saw the broken silver, they didn't say anything, Jiu'er sat on the new chair, looking at this mighty person, was really shocked.

The shopkeeper took the teapot and cup, and said while pouring it for him: "This son, I see that your face is not very good, are you a little worried that you will not be selected?"

Jiu'er smiled slightly and asked, "Why are there so many people coming to take the exam? How many disciples does Wanxian Ju accept every year? Can't they all be accepted?"

"This son, I saw you face to face, it seems that you really came to participate for the first time, I told you well, Wan Xianju only accepts good qualifications, and those qualifications are mediocre, and even if you have good qualifications, you can have evil thoughts and are not good, Wan Xianju will not accept them, so even if there are many people who come to the exam, there are not many people who can really accept them. ”

"Oh. Jiu'er secretly thought, this is really different from the Demon Realm, in the Demon Realm, as long as you want to come, you can accept it, but the Demon Realm is indeed bigger than Wanxianju, and you can accept it as much as you want.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Jiu'er wanted to take out the broken silver again to thank him, but he didn't expect that the shopkeeper was also a principled person, so he had to confiscate it.

After all, it is a bright and bright store, and if you provide some information, you will collect money from customers, and it will not become a black store?

After drinking a cup of tea, Wanxianju just opened the mountain, and all the people who took the exam went up the mountain to take the exam in an orderly manner, and those who were also going to take the exam in the tavern put down the wine glasses in their hands and left, Jiu'er was not in a hurry, and the last one got up, looking at the position of Wanxianju, holding the sword tightly with both hands, but his eyes revealed hatred.

There are still two disciples guarding the mountain, but it is no longer the two disciples of three years, Jiu'er walked between them and looked at it, and asked, "May I ask if there is a disciple named Ye Yijiang on this mountain?"

The two disciples looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "Never. ”

Jiu'er seemed to have known the answer a long time ago, looked at the mountain, and said silently in his heart: "I'll find it myself." ”

I remember that in the morning, Jiu'er asked Xiang Shen for a set of clothes in the world, saying that he wanted to go out to play in the world, Xiang Shen didn't think much about it, so he agreed, but Jiu'er is beautiful, if he wears it beautifully, he will definitely be targeted by some ill-intentioned people in the world, although he taught Jiu'er spells and swordsmanship, but thinking that Jiu'er was stared at by others, he still felt uncomfortable.

Therefore, a man's clothes were directly prepared for her, and they were also Taoist priests.

I thought that Jiu'er was just going to the world to see the excitement, but I didn't expect that Jiu'er encountered such a big event as Wan Xianju's selection of disciples, and Jiu'er, who had a grudge against Wan Xianju, naturally wanted to make trouble.

Wan Xianju's exam is really not difficult, the first written test, the second interview, and then inform you at that time whether you go home or stay, of course, for some people who have already cultivated, there is one more exam, that is the competition.

The written test was simply too painful for Jiu'er, she was forced to read in the demon world, what "Tao Te Ching", "Longmen Heart Law", "Twelve Kinds of Taoist Books" and so on, she was very strange at that time! How could a dignified king of the demon world have so many Taoist books? And let her memorize them every day?

Although the mess of the back is always scolded and stared at by Xiang Shen, but fortunately, some simple books are still memorized, and the written test is not difficult.

In the past three years, Qingshan has no evil thoughts, living up to the expectations of the master and the real person in charge, and has learned a lot, and has spread the word of mouth all the way to subdue demons and eliminate demons, which has shocked Wanxianju a lot of prestige, so that the head of the Qian Cultivator is extremely satisfied, and he gave his magic treasure Lotus Chi Ding to Qingshan.

"This tripod is made by the thirteen sons of the Emperor of Heaven lotus pond, with the effect of purifying the demon qi, the lotus pond on the god's will, I hope that the demons in the world can remove their own demon energy, re-become the essence, and cultivate into immortals again, this magic weapon is the lotus pond God gave us the head of the real person, but the head of the real person gave it to me, now I will give it to you, I hope you can be like the god on the lotus pond, the heart is kind. ”

This is the expectation of the Spiritual Patriarch for Aoyama.
