Chapter 45: The Ancient Totem Road
At night, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, three young people were drinking and talking.
"Brother Chu, how can you conclude that that guy can return to the pool in the end?" Shu Man's pretty face was a little red under the influence of alcohol, revealing another charm.
Chu Lin picked up the wine jar and took a sip, pinched his hands and a crimson fire flashed in front of him, and then said with a smile: " Although my fire spirit pupil is only an entry-level level, but on his body, I can also see more or less corpse qi, and if you want to keep the rotting corpse for a long time, it is definitely not enough to soak in the water, so I concluded that the pool is not water at all, but a special nutrient solution for practicing corpses, and in the case of consuming most of his strength, he will definitely go to the pool to recover and then come out to kill people and kill people, as long as he steps into the pool, I will feel something."
Yuan Lai, who was drunk and hazy, felt that the young man in front of him, who was only in the Zhuyuan period, was becoming more and more unable to see through, and couldn't help but speak: "Fortunately, I didn't choose to be your enemy at that time, otherwise I should be like them now, Shu girl, why don't you advance with the Zou brothers?
Shu Man smiled and said: "Although the little sister is still young, she can always distinguish between black and white, and she always kills innocent people indiscriminately."
"Okay, good sentence, cheers". In the bamboo forest under the starry sky, from time to time there was the sound of laughter pushing cups and changing lamps, and time seemed to stop at this moment, not seeking to become immortals, but seeking no more fighting in the cultivation realm.
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Lin unexpectedly harvested another dew bead in the rune necklace.
The three of them came to the central square of Qiongzhufeng according to the regulations, and a large number of assessors were gathered at this time, and there was a person standing in front of him, dressed in a blue moire robe, with a red face and fat head and big ears, it was the fat man who Chu Lin bribed with 200 yuan.
"Today is the last day of the assessment period, and now the acceptance of the assessment results begins, please come to the center of the venue and put the inscription in the corresponding storage container." The fat man's languid voice spread to every corner of the square.
As soon as the words fell, the first three people walked out of the square, it was Chu Lin, Yuan Lai and Shu Man. The three of them each put the Burning Heart Inscription into a container and waited quietly for the examiner to announce the results.
Soft footsteps sounded, and dozens of people walked out of the crowd, each taking out a different number of burning heart inscriptions in their hands and putting them in containers.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have left behind." Shu Man spread his hands stupidly and said helplessly.
"Is there anyone else with the Burning Heart Inscription? If not, I'm going to announce the results of the assessment." The fat man shouted again.
"Wait a minute" At this time, a familiar and unfamiliar voice echoed in the square, as if it was from Jiuyou, and the three of Chu Lin were shocked when they heard it.
A young man walked out of the crowd, carrying a large number of heart-burning inscriptions in his hand, slammed into the container and said, "It's not too late, is it?"
"Of course it's not too late, congratulations, junior brother." When the fat man saw that this person took out so many inscriptions, he even changed his name.
"Then thank you, senior brother." The man was tall and muscular, but he was dressed in rags, obviously having experienced a big battle, and after smiling and thanking the fat man with a fist, Yu Guang swept to Chu Lin's side and immediately returned to normal.
Chu Lin and the three of them saw horror and confusion in each other's eyes, this guy's life is really hard, he can't die like that, the man in front of him is not someone else, it is Ruan Jianguo who was blown up in the corpse pool.
"The assessment is over, and the people who have been promoted in this assessment are Ruan Jianguo, Leng Xin, and Wang Nuocen" The fat man adjusted his voice to a higher octave, and announced the assessment results in a rare and serious manner.
"It's cold" This is the common thought of Chu Lin and the three of them at this time, I didn't expect the plan to be so meticulous, risking their lives in exchange for elimination, it seems that it is really not easy to enter the inner door.
The three named people walked out of the crowd one by one and came to the fat man.
Ruan Jianguo is no stranger to the three of them, the woman named Leng Xin doesn't look very old, fifteen or sixteen years old, but she exudes a cold aura from her body, which is really as good as her name.
The last Wang Nuocen is really unobtrusive, with a mediocre figure and a mediocre appearance, he is definitely an ordinary person who can't be found in the crowd, but there is an unpredictable sense of mystery on his body, Chu Lin is looking at him at the same time, he is also looking at Chu Lin and bowing his head slightly.
"What a strange feeling" This was the thought that suddenly sprouted in Chu Lin's heart.
When he was about to issue the insignia of the inner disciple and the cloud pattern robe, a person came from the cloud ladder, judging from the dress of a disciple of the burning heart of the level, went to the fat man's side and whispered a little before leaving, the fat man looked at the departing back in shock, turned his head and said: "Pavilion master Kai'en, today's additional test, the assessment content is the totem ancient road, everyone present can participate, and those who can get out safely will be promoted to the inner disciple."
Everyone present was in an uproar, no one could have imagined that the Burning Heart Pavilion, which had been conformist in recruiting outer disciples over the years, would now have such a strange exam.
"Everyone, please be impatient, today's additional test is dangerous, the top three disciples who have entered the inner door can voluntarily participate, and it will not affect the assessment results, but everyone understands the truth of wealth and danger, the totem ancient road has been closed for nearly a hundred years, it is said that there is a trace of the breath of the ancient phoenix in the ancient road, and the treasures of heaven and earth are innumerable, but the internal environment is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is very dangerous. Greed and hatred are hard to stop, the pavilion master can't bear the innocent death of the disciple so he listed it as a forbidden place, and there must be its intention to reopen it today, starting now, if you want to enter the ancient road and collide with the opportunity to create a fortune, please take a step forward, and later the pavilion master will open the magic circle for teleportation." The fat man said very cautiously, it can be seen that it is indeed extraordinary.
In the Qiongzhufeng Square, it was like a frying pan, and they were discussing where to stay.
"Give everyone 5 minutes to think about it, 5 minutes later, the circle will be opened here, the choice between heaven and hell, you are in your own hands, you are the saddest one, because the monstrous interests will affect your life and death, but it is also a lucky one, because the inheritance of the totem may come to the head of one of you, and the countdown to the opening of the circle begins." The fat man reminded everyone again.
"Chu Lin, Shu Man, are you going to go in?" Yuan Lai suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said.
Chu Lin didn't think much about it, he just spit out the word "enter".
Shu Man thought about it, and said with a grit of silver teeth: "I'll go in too, I'd rather die inside." The cold light in Shu Man's eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind.
"Okay, then this life and death pass, let's break it together." Yuan Lai's voice suddenly became high-pitched, no wonder he would choose to do so, rather than being poisoned by the corpse and dying, it was better to grasp this last straw.
As the minutes and seconds passed, the fat man's voice sounded again, "When the time comes, the magic circle will rise"
A portal with a shimmering halo of colorful light quietly appeared, and no one knew which end of the portal was on the other end.
Chu Lin didn't think much about it, and walked into the portal behind everyone, and after seeing that most of the people present had entered, Ruan Jianguo's eyes flashed with murder, and he followed in a brisk step.
