Chapter 014 - Gathering with the same door
Li Qing won like this? And it was so clean and neat that he didn't even have a knife! This result was beyond the expectations of many people. Some people think that Li Qing's victory is very weird, and they think that the difference in strength between the two sides is not so big.
"He's cheating, sneak attack first!" someone shouted out in disbelief.
Everyone despised it, which was clearly unaffordable.
To lose is to lose. Although Li Qing was suspected of a sneak attack, it was also Chen Jun's carelessness, which was completely self-inflicted, and there was nothing wrong with him at all. It can be said that in this competition, Li Qing won very beautifully, and it was a classic example of defeating the strong with the weak.
Chen Jun's men cautiously walked up, lifted Chen Jun up, and fled. This competition is over.
"Let's go. Liu Keer took Li Qing's hand and walked through the crowd.
She complimented: "It's not bad, I really won, and it's so easy." ”
"Of course. Li Qing's nostrils were facing the sky, and he couldn't live forever, "You don't look at who I am." This kid dares to beat my woman's idea, isn't that looking for a draw?"
Liu Ke'er blushed and said angrily: "You still say, who is your woman, shameless." ”
Li Qing showed an innocent look: "Isn't this what you said? Why did you turn your face and deny people? It's so ruthless." ”
Liu Ke'er rolled her eyes, reached out and pinched Li Qing's waist hard, and turned around, grinning in pain.
"Let's see if you dare to take advantage of me. She squinted her eyes, looked at Li Qing's exaggerated expression, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Li Qing touched his head and smirked. sighed in my heart: Unreasonableness is a woman's right.
"What a lewd laugh. She was upset and reached out to pinch him on the waist again.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Li Qing cried out.
The two played all the way and went back happily.
......
The crowd gradually dispersed.
A few people gathered together, looking at the backs of Li Qing and the two leaving, discussing something. These people were all dressed in the costumes of the inner gate, and they were obviously all inner disciples.
"What's this person's name, is he really just an outer disciple?" the young man at the head asked.
"That's right, it's an outer disciple, named Li Qing, who is going to participate in the inner door assessment this year. One of the people next to him replied.
"You're going to take the inner door assessment this year?" the young man frowned and asked, "Why haven't you mentioned such a strong person before?"
Several people next to him were a little embarrassed, and someone replied: "This person has always been infamous and very low-key. And he seems to have been brought up the mountain by some elder on the way, so he ignored it. ”
"Hmph!" said the young man with a displeased expression, "Invite him to the party tomorrow night." I hope he can get to know each other by then. ”
......
Li Qing didn't know that someone was plotting against him behind his back, so he returned to his yard and relaxed. Liu Ke'er had already separated from him and returned to Youyue Peak.
This battle quickly spread in Yanyang Peak, Li Qing was completely famous, and his strength was surprising.
And Chen Jun's performance disappointed many people, with his strength, he was actually defeated by an outer disciple, which was really substandard. According to rumors, he was severely criticized by his grandfather when he returned.
Li Qing didn't care about the ups and downs outside, closed the door and cultivated quietly. Soon it was evening, and there was a knock at the door.
Li Qing hurriedly walked out and opened the door. I saw a few acquaintances standing outside the door, they were several outer disciples who had a good relationship with Li Qing in the past few years, named Shi Wei, Zhou Bo and Zhang Xiaolong.
"Okay, Li Qing! was able to defeat Chen Jun and hug the beauty. Zhou Bo said with envy and jealousy.
Li Qing smiled, didn't explain anything, humbly said a few words, and then asked, "You guys came to me so late, don't you know what's wrong?"
"Oh, yes. Shi Wei opened his mouth and said, "There is a party with the same door tomorrow night, and we want to invite you to it." ”
"What is that?" Li Qing was a little puzzled.
Shi Wei explained: "The five-year period is approaching, and the internal door assessment will be carried out soon. Those of us who came in together in the same year all had some friendship, so a friend organized this party, although there were not many people, but it never hurt to communicate with each other and get to know each other. ”
"I see. Li Qing didn't think much about it, and agreed: "Okay, I'll participate then." ”
"It's a deal. We'll come to you and we'll go together. The group made an appointment and left.
Li Qing turned back to the house and didn't pay much attention to it. For the next internal assessment, he is very confident. With his strength, not to mention that he will definitely be able to pass this assessment, he will at least be able to pass it.
The number of promotion places for inner disciples provided by Yanyang Peak every year is only ten. The conditions for participating in the inner door assessment are, firstly, that you must be an outer disciple for more than five years, and secondly, your strength must reach the fifth level of the acquired realm.
Ten isn't a lot, but it's reasonable given the actual situation. Because the disciples recruited by Yanyang Peak every year are actually only a few dozen. Among them, only about half of them can reach the fivefold realm of the day after tomorrow within five years, that is, less than twenty people.
Choose ten people out of less than twenty people, and the threshold is very relaxed. As for the conditions for selection, of course, it is a martial arts competition, and the top ten disciples are promoted to inner disciples.
In fact, there are not only about 20 disciples who participate in the assessment, and the number often exceeds them. Because there are not only those who participate in the assessment this year, but also the disciples who did not pass in previous years, so the number of them is also considerable.
If an outer disciple fails to become an inner disciple, there are usually several ways out. Some people will continue to work hard to cultivate and strive to continue to participate in the assessment next year. Some people feel that they are not a piece of cultivation material, so they choose to leave the sect and return to the secular world to become a rich man. The last one is that if they do not pass the inner gate assessment within ten years, the sect will expel them so as not to waste resources.
Therefore, there are generally about thirty or forty people who participate in the inner door assessment every year. With Li Qing's strength, it is more than enough to be an inner disciple, and it should not be difficult to pass the assessment, so he is not too worried.
......
Soon, the time was the next evening. Shi Wei and the three came to Li Qing on time to attend tonight's party together.
The meeting place is in the courtyard of the organizers. Several people came to their destination and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a man walked out.
When he saw a few people in front of the door, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, please come in quickly." ”
Li Qing knew this person, and he had a relationship, and knew that this person's name was Shao Yujin, who was very strong, and had the cultivation of the sixth level of the day after tomorrow. He is very stable in life, has a wide range of friends, and is friends with many people. He was the most outstanding among the outer disciples of this class.
A few people went into the courtyard. Li Qing looked around, and saw that the scenery inside was very good, there were rockeries, pools, full of flowers and plants, and a few clusters of bamboo. Compared to Li Qing's messy yard, it's really good, I don't know how many times.
There were already a dozen people in the room, sitting around a large table and chatting. There are sumptuous dishes on the table, mellow wines, and a very warm atmosphere.
When these people saw that there were new guests coming, they turned their heads one after another and greeted, "Ouch, Shi Wei and a few people are here." Now everyone is together. ”
"Come, sit down!" they were very welcoming.
After some politeness, Li Qing and the others found a seat and sat down.
Li Qing raised his eyes and saw that the three people sitting at the top were actually wearing the clothes of the inner gate, obviously the inner disciples. He frowned, how could there be an inner disciple coming? Isn't tonight a gathering of outer disciples?
Many people's eyes fell on Li Qing's body, with curiosity. Someone asked, "Shi Wei, why don't you introduce this little brother?"
Shi Wei hurriedly said: "This is Li Qing, didn't you say you wanted to see him before? ”
"It turns out that you are Li Qing, and you are really extraordinary. The crowd did not hesitate to praise him.
"Don't dare to be. Li Qingqian gave a few words.
The people present introduced each other and soon became acquainted. The first three inner disciples were Shao Yujin's friends, and they came to the party this time. The first young man, named Xu Nanrong, was extraordinary, high in the sky, and his cultivation had reached the eightfold realm of the day after tomorrow.
I saw Xu Nanrong stand up, raise his wine glass, and say to Li Qing: "Little brother Li Qing, I have admired my name for a long time. I would like to toast you. ”
Li Qing also raised his wine glass in greeting and drank it.
The wine glass was put down, and Xu Nanrong said, "I heard that you defeated Chen Jun yesterday. As a disciple of the outer gate, it was really an eye-opener for me to be able to defeat the geniuses in the inner gate. ”
Li Qing waved his hand and said: "In fact, he is careless about the enemy, and he is pampered, and he is not rich in combat experience, so I can win." ”
"Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, it is really broad-minded. Xu Nanrong admired. He sat down slowly and said casually: "You are going to participate in the inner door assessment this year, with your strength, you should be nine out of ten." ”
Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "If nothing else, it is true." "He's very calm and doesn't hide his confidence.
Xu Nanrong's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "I have a suggestion here, I wonder if Brother Li Qing can listen to it?"
"Oh, but it doesn't hurt. ”
"Brother Li has only been in the sect for five years, not a long time, I'm afraid I still need to sharpen a little more, don't rush to enter the inner gate, it's better to be an outer disciple for a few more years. I have a friend who is in a hurry to pass the internal examination this year, I wonder if you can give up your place? ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Li Qing frowned, his face a little ugly. This request is really unreasonable.
He shook his head and said coldly, "How can you give in to the path of cultivation? His tone became less polite.
Xu Nanrong's expression was indifferent, as if everything was under control, he gently turned the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly: "Don't you think about it more?" As long as you agree, I owe you a favor, and there is another rich spirit stone to offer. ”
"Don't think about it, I won't say yes. Li Qing was unmoved, his eyes were like iron.
Seeing that the situation was not good, some people persuaded one after another: "Why is Brother Li so stubborn? ”
"Yes, you don't suffer a loss, you have a reward, and you can sharpen yourself in the outer gate, how can there be such a good thing in the world, you still don't agree?"
Shi Wei also opened his mouth to persuade: "Li Qing, you and I are friends, I really don't want to see you make a wrong choice and go astray. Listen to my advice, don't go to this year's assessment. ”
Li Qing looked at him coldly and scolded, "Who is friends with you!" It was obvious that this party was coming for him, and Shi Wei must have colluded with them in order to win the place of inner disciples. In vain, he regarded Shi Wei as a friend, but he didn't expect it to be so insidious.
Shi Wei's face sank and said, "Don't go too far!"
"Am I excessive?" Li Qing felt a little ridiculous, obviously they made unreasonable demands, why didn't they agree, it was his sin.
He suddenly became a little curious, and then asked, "I don't understand a question, even if I agree to the concession, how can you make sure that person gets this place?"
Xu Nanrong said: "You don't need to figure out this matter, as long as you promise not to participate in the assessment, we will naturally handle the rest." ”
"It seems that you can secretly manipulate the examination room!" Li Qing felt a chill in his heart, stood up, swept his gaze around, and sneered: "A group of people who are struggling in the camp, I don't care to be with them. After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
"Li Qing!" Xu Nanrong called out to him, and said with a gloomy face: "Those who know the times are Junjie." Give you another chance, admit your mistake with me now, and I can forgive you for your rudeness. ”
Li Qing didn't look back, and walked out of the door directly.
Xu Nanrong looked at his back, his eyes were cold, and a threatening word came out of his mouth: "Since you don't know each other, don't blame me for being ruthless." You have to be careful when you go out these days, if you have an accident, it won't be good to break your hands and feet. ”
Li Qing heard it clearly outside the door, but he didn't care. Could it be that they dare to make a move on Yanyang Peak? Cannibalism is a serious crime, and once discovered, they will be abolished and expelled from the sect.
