Chapter 13: Little White Face
CHAPTER XIII
After entering the sect, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge and wide square, the ground of the square is neatly arranged with huge stones, and the symbols that flicker from time to time are somewhat similar to those on the great array of protecting the sect.
There is a pool in the center of the square, which is crystal clear, the water surface is misty, there are a few cranes playing in the water, from time to time there are bursts of pleasant crane chirping, and unknown flowers and plants are planted around, gently swaying with the breeze, sending a refreshing fragrance to the nose.
There was an old man on the left side of the square, sitting cross-legged on the one-zhang high lecture, the loud voice spread throughout the square, and the red-clothed disciples on the ground were listening attentively to the old man's sermon, his eyes widened, and his face showed a sudden realization from time to time, clearing the fog of cultivation for himself.
Lu Fan couldn't help but look sideways, this was exactly the same as the fairyland he had imagined in his heart! Although he couldn't understand what the old man was saying, when the voice came into his ears, Lu Fan's whole body relaxed, and the whole person seemed to be washed from the inside out, light and ethereal.
"That is Elder Li of the North Peak, Elder Li is very friendly, and often goes down the mountain to preach and preach, giving guidance to the disciples of the outer sect. ”
Senior Brother Liu looked at the old man on the podium and said respectfully.
Lu Fan couldn't help but glance at Elder Li again, and suddenly, Elder Li at the lecture seemed to notice something, and turned his head to look at Lu Fan sharply, his eyes were sharp, and after seeing that it was a new disciple of the sect, he smiled and nodded to Lu Fan and the others, and then continued to preach, ignoring everyone anymore.
Lu Fan was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat! He didn't know what magical powers the immortals had, but if it was his own gaze, it could be noticed, which made Lu Fan feel really unbelievable!
Lu Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that he couldn't just look at it in the future...
Following Senior Brother Liu, he heard the introduction of many sects along the way, and even a lot of rumors and gossip, Lu Fan looked at Senior Brother Liu with faint excitement in his eyes, but his face was serious, thinking about what kind of heart this Senior Brother Liu has...
Not long after, under the leadership of Senior Brother Liu, everyone bypassed the square and came to the place of trial.
After arriving here, everyone was once again captivated by the sight in front of them!
At the feet of the crowd was a thousand-foot cliff, and under the cliff was pitch black as ink, like a giant beast's mouth, waiting for its prey! The sound of the wind whistling by seemed to be the roar of the giant beast! On the opposite side was a towering mountain peak, and there was no end in sight! From the cliff at their feet stretched out a stone step, which was about three zhang wide, and there was no protection on the left and right! Under the stone steps was the abyss! It stretched all the way to the opposite peak, and at a glance, it was densely packed with countless steps!
Lu Fan looked at the thin stone steps and the abyss under his feet, and suddenly a cold chill arose from the bottom of his heart, and a bad premonition came directly to his heart!
"Could it be... This... This is the trial..."
Senior Brother Liu looked at Lu Fan, who was a little frightened, with a smile in his eyes, even he didn't know why he always liked to watch the horror on his face when new disciples came to the place of trials...
"Ahem, cough, don't panic, Senior Brother Lu, although this stone step looks a little thin and old, it is still quite sturdy to step on..."
After Lu Fan heard this, his body involuntarily took two steps back, thinking that it was over, he was really hit by himself...
"Senior Brother Liu, don't joke with Senior Brother anymore..."
Lu Fan swallowed his saliva fiercely, let go of his tightly held hands, the sweat in his palms made Lu Fan feel a little cool, and after adjusting his breathing, he looked at Senior Brother Liu with a mocking face, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Senior Brother Liu put away the banter on his face, and just as he was about to explain, a shrill voice suddenly came from beside him!
"Just an ordinary man! I also want to become an immortal!"
Senior Brother Liu turned his head to look, and when he saw the person who came, his brows tightened, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Lu Fan also followed the voice, a young man walked over slowly, and three people of the same age behind him respectfully followed behind the young man, this young man was dressed in a brown robe, the robe was engraved with gold edges, extremely gorgeous, at a glance, this person was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a long body and a jade body, a lofty spirit, and a pair of bright eyes like stars on his handsome face, but with a deep look of disdain.
"Sun Hao has seen Senior Brother Liu!"
The young man walked between Lu Fan and Senior Brother Liu, turned around to block Lu Fan, and bowed to this Senior Brother Liu, although it was a salute, but there was not necessarily a trace of respect.
"Senior Brother Sun doesn't have to be like this, I, Liu Sheng, can't stand your worship!" A flash of contempt flashed in Senior Brother Liu's eyes, but because of the power behind Sun Hao, he had to bow to each other with his fists in the same way.
Sun Hao was displeased when he heard that Senior Brother Liu was so faceless in front of everyone, he raised his head and glanced at Senior Brother Liu coldly, snorted heavily with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Lu Fan and the four people behind him, undisguised ridicule on his face, and then walked to the side, waiting for the trial to start.
"What's the matter! You've never lost a fight!"
At this moment, Lu Fan jumped up with a nameless anger in his heart, he didn't know this person at all, and he didn't have any intersection and grudge with him, why did he look down on himself so much, mock himself so much, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the young man, his mouth kept muttering...
"Senior brother, don't worry, don't worry!" Senior Brother Liu couldn't cry or laugh when he saw Lu Fan's appearance, and quickly pulled the irritable Lu Fan back and whispered in his ear.
"Senior brother, what are you pulling me for! This little white face dares to mock Fan Ye, if he doesn't teach him a lesson today, he really thinks that he is invincible in the world, and it is rare to meet an opponent!" Lu Fan's little face was flushed, and he was still a little resentful after being pulled back by Senior Brother Liu.
Lu Fan looked at Sun Hao's indifferent face, and his heart was even more angry, his eyes were round, staring at him deadly.
Zhang Ergou and the others behind Lu Fan also rubbed their hands one by one, their faces were hideous, and they just waited for Lu Fan's order, and they were about to rush over and fight with Sun Hao and the others!
"Hey, hey, Senior Brother Lu, don't worry! Listen to me, listen to me, that... Senior brother, the sect has rules, and it is forbidden for fellow brothers to fight privately in places other than the martial arts arena! If you really go up, you will be expelled from the sect directly according to the rules of the sect! Besides, Senior Brother Lu, you really can't beat him now..."
Senior Brother Liu pulled Lu Fan and patiently explained that in fact, he liked Lu Fan's character very much, he would say it if he had anything to say, and he would do it if he wanted to, but the rules of the sect were strict, and no one dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi.
"What! Senior brother, you said I couldn't beat him! Come, come, come! I'll open your eyes today! Master, I've caught birds in the sky, touched fish in the sea, and black bears will give me three points when they see me! This little white face, I can do it with one hand... Oh, look at his little appearance, I can't help it, senior brother, let me go, I have to teach him a good lesson today!"
Lu Fan looked at Sun Hao, who had a disdainful face, and his whole body trembled with anger, and his little face looked even more ruddy because of his anger.
The disciples who participated in the trial around saw the commotion in this place, and they all gathered around, and when they saw the contradiction between Lu Fan and Sun Hao, they all stood by and watched
watched the show on the side, and said cool words:
"Who is this person? Don't you know that Sun Hao is a member of the Sun family? That is the famous Xiuzhen family!"
"This kid is really stunned, and he is in love with Sun Hao! I once heard that this Sun Hao is a flaw that must be reported, a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, this kid will definitely have a hard time in the future!"
"Hey, it's just a mortal, it's not certain whether you can pass the trial, even if you are lucky, you will inevitably be humiliated in the sect!"
The people around him talked nonsense, and they didn't deliberately lower their voices, and pointed at Lu Fan from time to time, which made Lu Fan even more irritable!
"Senior Brother Lu!"
Senior Brother Liu saw that Lu Fan had caused a lot of commotion, thinking that the trial would start soon, and Elder Zhou was about to come, so he drank loudly in his heart, grabbed Lu Fan's shoulder with his hand, and dragged him alive.
Lu Fan's shoulder hurt, he couldn't help but gasp, looking at the serious Senior Brother Liu, he knew that he had gone too far, and after calming down, he saw that there were many people gathered around him, and after glancing at Sun Hao unwillingly, he stood beside Senior Brother Liu and waited for the trial to begin.
A gleam flashed in Sun Hao's eyes, and after looking at Lu Fan with disdain again, he put his hands behind his back and ignored the people gathered.
The people around looked like there was no play, and there were still a few people who lamented regretfully, not seeing the next good show, which made them feel a little sorry in their hearts.
"Senior Brother Lu, don't make trouble! The trial is about to start, don't miss a big thing!"
Senior Brother Liu said earnestly.
Lu Fan nodded, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, no longer paid attention to the people around him, and stood quietly in place and waited.
"Senior Brother Lu! Remember, don't set up a powerful enemy for yourself on the road of cultivation, unless you have to! This Sun Hao comes from a family that has cultivated for generations, and the power behind it cannot be underestimated! This Sun Hao is extraordinarily talented, he cultivated at the age of ten, and he has only been cultivating for five years, but he has already reached the realm of the fourth layer of condensation of qi! He is only one step away from entering the fifth layer of condensation! It is known as the first genius of the Sun family in a hundred years! He has already been designated as an outer disciple from within, and this time he came to the place of trial is nothing more than a formality, with your current mortal body, you are definitely not his opponent!"
Senior Brother Liu was beside Lu Fan and said softly.
After Lu Fan heard Senior Brother Liu's words, a warm current surged in his heart, and then he asked curiously:
"Senior brother, what is the fourth layer of condensation?
"Uh... That one... Senior brother, don't think too much about it yet, the current introductory trial is the most important!"
Lu Fan pursed his lips, knowing that Senior Brother Liu was not easy to speak, because he had not yet passed the trial and had not officially become a disciple of the Shangqing Sect.
"Trial..."
Lu Fan looked at the stone steps on the cliff in front of him, clenched his hands, and had incomparable firmness in his eyes!
"Just let me break into it!"
