69. Praying mantis catches cicadas, cicadas turn yellow finches (third change)
A month later.
Wind and snow on the edge of a lonely cliff.
Xia Ji sat under the tree, and there was a fluffy soft wool cushion under the tree, and an elegant small coffee table was placed on the cushion, and on the coffee table were fine wines and wine glasses.
He only waited for a moment, and then there was the sound of undisguised footsteps behind him.
Not long after, a man in a gorgeous robe sat beside him, the man took off the sword he was carrying behind his back and put it in his hand, he looked sideways at Xia Ji, and said with a bit of the aura of a superior person: "Why, didn't you accompany your beautiful lady today?"
Xia Ji said: "She and I have our own pursuits, how can I indulge in my children's private affairs every day?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the flask and poured two glasses of wine, and said, "Please." ”
This man in gorgeous clothes is named Yu Mingzi, the new Great Elder of the Dragon Slaying Temple, and the host of this martial arts battle.
Yu Mingzi grabbed the wine glass and touched it with Xia Ji, and drank it all in one gulp, then squinted at the flying snow in the empty valley, and muttered as if inadvertently: "A few days ago, the senior brother in charge led a team to Eagle Water Village and found two pages of paper. ”
Xia Ji's eyes lit up, but he didn't ask.
Yu Mingzi saw his serious light, but he also sold enough Guan Zi and didn't go into details.
You must know that if you can write your name on the page, you can be directly promoted to the Fourteen Realms, which can add an additional thousand years of life, while the Thirteen Realms are full of people.
When Xia Ji was in his position, he felt that this page was nothing, and he didn't even need to give it to him, but in fact, this thing was extremely precious in the sect.
Yu Mingzi didn't say anything, Xia Ji didn't ask, although according to the number of roads, he should lower his posture and ask in a flattering tone how to get this page.
But he doesn't even bother to act like this.
Long.
A jug of wine has been drunk.
A snowstorm has also been seen.
Yu Mingzi suddenly said coldly: "Is Xuan Qing really not interested in the page?"
Xuanqing, Hu Bai is the pseudonym of Xia Ji and Bai Candle.
Xia Ji then said, "Please also ask the Great Elder for advice." ”
Yu Mingzi said: "Don't dare to give teaching. ”
With that, he got up indifferently and left directly.
Xia Ji looked at his back, probably understanding what the new Great Elder meant,
When he went out today, he made it clear that he didn't just come to his own house, but that he could live in strange goods and sell them at a price.
He came to himself because he might be one of the people who were eligible for the page, but there were many people who could do it, and at a critical moment, he could exercise his right to speak to distribute the page.
At this time, he came to "wait for the price" to see who was willing to pay more, or directly stood with him, but Xia Ji didn't say anything.
Therefore, this Elder Yumingzi naturally left indifferently.
Actually, Xia Ji also knew what he wanted, since half a year ago, this elder glanced at her when Bai Candle unveiled her mask, and he was fascinated, and then he secretly offered his courtesy, but how could Bai Candle ignore him.
So the elder took advantage of the "page distribution" to break through from himself.
I have to say that this mind is really dirty.
Xia Ji shook his head and shot the cup he had just drunk into the valley, followed by a person drinking bitterly.
Wind and snow insolence...
Not a few,
A green sprout suddenly sprouted on the frozen stone on the edge of the cliff where he was.
The green shoots quietly exhibited, coiled open, and turned into a palm with a root whisker.
The five fingers are stretched, and there is a letter in them.
Xia Ji took the letter, opened it, and shook the letter, there were two pieces of letterhead.
He took a closer look.
The first piece of paper was in unfamiliar handwriting, but after reading it, Xia Ji knew that it was a message sent back by the messenger he had sent to Wei Zhou before.
Wei Zhou is also in the same chaos, and the killing between sects is not unique to Yan Zhou.
The second letter paper is Ji Xuan's font, which contains some changes in several special sects that Xia Ji asked to investigate, including the Northern Demon Clan, the Southern Buddhist Sect, and the Snow Lady's Baiyun Villa.
Without exception, all of them were "hit".
The sects of the entire world seemed to have suddenly fallen into this kind of frenzy.
After Xia Ji read the letter, he burned it casually.
The year-end battle of the Dragon Slaying Temple was just two days later.
That night, he and White Candle lay on the bed and gathered the information again.
The two of them basically have a position on the problem, and the problem lies in the "urn page" or "the person who receives the curse".
Bai Zhu suddenly said, "I can probably guess what's going on." ”
She said this, but her tone was very heavy, "After winter, I have to go back." Also, when you meet Pangu in the future, don't tell Him that you once lay in the same bed with me. ”
Xia Ji: ...
He suddenly felt a little bad, and asked tentatively, "Are you a woman?"
White Candle: ...
Her eyes curled with a smile, like a "funny" with raised eyebrows.
Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, people like you don't care about gender. ”
Bai Zhu said: "No, you are wrong, I am a woman, the sassy fox who once had an entanglement with you is also a woman, and the star mother who injured you is also a woman." You've been abused by women. ”
Xia Ji: ...
Is this talking about Su Tian?
What are you talking about?
He thought about it and decided to change the subject, so he asked, "Where is Yanzhou to the south?"
White Candle said: "If you have time to see it yourself, I won't tell you." ”
Xia Ji suddenly said: "You are so useful, you might as well join my side." ”
Bai Zhu said: "If you can beat Pangu one day, let's talk about it." ”
Xia Ji asked, "Who is Pangu?"
White Candle thought for a moment and said, "A truly invincible man, and I am His assistant. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Zhu suddenly turned sideways, and a smile suddenly appeared on his goat's milk-like face: "Do you think you are strong?"
Without waiting for him to answer, Bai Zhu said directly: "You'd better not think so, now you plus your little followers, little apprentices, and even the hole cards you hide, they are not enough for them to play."
And I, I always just need to mix up just right, that's it, where do I need to be so strenuous and troublesome with you?"
Xia Ji didn't care, and he didn't even look angry or arguing.
The white candle rolled, looked at him with his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's a bit of a Pangu look... But what are you focusing on?"
Xia Ji didn't answer, but said, "Do you think I won't pose a threat, that's why you cooperate with me like this?"
Bai Zhu shook his finger and said: "No, no, no, on the contrary, I think you are qualified, so I will be with you, you are the tenth person in my eyes, but there may be eleven or twelve people in this world, but there will definitely be no more, and how can you get together?"
So, now we are facing this almost certain death dilemma, and we are standing together, but if it were not for this dilemma, you would have died at the end of this catastrophe. ”
Xia Ji said: "I have killed the ancestor of the Wu family. ”
Bai Candle did not shy away from saying: "Lao Wu is already alive, and in the later stage, see if Lao Wu doesn't kill you, especially if you robbed him of his love knife." ”
Xia Ji got the answer of "The ancestor of the Wu family has been resurrected", that is, he closed his eyes and slew, now there are really many enemies, Kuroshio is, the ancestor is, the invasion of the universe is also, and even to some extent, the universe where he is located is...
There is no human enemy in the eyes, and all enemies are invincible.
And what Bai Candle guessed, he already knew in his heart.
...
...
Two days later.
Xia Ji directly used the "Dragon Slaying Sword Sutra" and simple supernatural means to defeat all his opponents in Yanwutai.
However, every time he starts, he doesn't take it seriously, he just beats people, so since then, the great elder Yu Mingzi, who presided over the competition, has the intention of making things difficult, but he is helpless.
Then, Xia Ji took it for granted the opportunity to "be punished".
Under the envious gaze of all the disciples, he was led to the apse.
In the hall, the Lord of the Dragon Slaying Observatory, as well as several elders and elites of the Fourteen Realms, were waiting for him.
Xia Ji's gaze swept over and found that people were not all in the future, not even the Great Elder came, but only partially here, but this kind of witnessing ritual was normal without people.
Guan Zhu pinched his long beard and said with a smile: "Xuanqing, it is not easy for you to stand out among many disciples, but you still need to go through a test of progress to be punished, are you ready?"
Xia Ji said: "Ready." ”
The Guan Zhu said "yes", and then waved his hand directly: "Xuanqing, you come with me." ”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Xia Ji followed him and walked into the back hall.
It is a chic cloister courtyard.
In the courtyard there is a stone table chessboard shrouded in mist and mist.
The viewer has settled down and said straight to the point: "Let's have a game." ”
Seeing that Xia Ji did not move, the viewer explained: "This chess is a retrospective chess game, containing the aura of immortals, as soon as it falls, it is like a step out of life, and the ups and downs of it know one or two, if the person with a bad heart only needs to walk a few steps will lose his soul."
And if there are many fallen children, it will be like thousands of troops fighting, and those who fall will also fight, if the heart is a little worse, it will be infected by evil spirits, and every inch is chaotic.
And only those who are pure and strong in mind can win.
As a monk, strength is naturally a part, but the heart is also very important, so before you are punished, you need to have a game with the old man to see if you are qualified to receive the penalty. ”
Xia Ji looked at this chess game, and then looked at the Guan Master sitting opposite, as well as the elders and elites of the Fourteen Realms standing around, and suddenly felt that there was a trace of extremely subtle strangeness in the atmosphere.
This kind of weirdness really doesn't know if you don't get into the game.
If you are an ordinary monk, you will also believe in evil at this time.
But Xia Ji knew that there must be something wrong with this chessboard.
However, he had been waiting for this question for a long time.
So, he replied gently: "I am glad to do it." ”
Then he sat down across from the Lord.
The two guessed first, the master of the view was black first, and Xia Ji was white first.
The viewer picked up a sunspot, and the other fell and hung it in the corner, and the whole person was covered by the fog, which seemed ethereal and dusty.
Xia Ji also fell white seeds correspondingly.
Just when the chess pieces in his hand touched the chessboard, the surrounding scenery changed, as if the troops were arranged at the beginning of the formation, and the dragon slaying and watching the master was extremely far away.
The two sides took the vast territory in front of them as the battlefield and began to point troops and deploy formations.
The master of the watch is very fast, and the summer pole is also very fast...
It didn't take long for the black and white dragons to start strangling with each other.
After a while, Xia Ji and Guan Zhu, who were the commanders-in-chief, had also entered the game, leading their soldiers to confront and kill among the countless soldiers and horses that were billowing in wolf smoke and intricate times.
Each of these falls will consume energy, and it can be said that the further you go, the more tired you become.
Xia Ji referred to the state of a normal monk, and slowly showed a tired look.
After a while, the whole chess game was filled with a roar of wind and rage, and the violent tide of soldiers poured down like water bursting the embankment, and the fierceness of its power was so fierce that it was impossible to breathe.
Xia Ji was overjoyed in his heart and came.
The anomaly he'd been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.
So, still simulating the appearance of a normal and excellent monk, he began to work hard to meet the enemy and fight back.
It's just that, for some reason, the surging tide of soldiers on the opposite side turned out to be all wearing black armor, overwhelming, rushing from a distance and stepping on the ground, the ground trembled, and the sound was like a war drum tearing apart the living beings, trampling on people's hearts, which only made people tremble.
Xia Ji could be sure that if it was an ordinary monk, just hearing this war drum, he was afraid that his mind would be completely destroyed, and he decided to hold on a little longer to take a look.
At this time, in the illusion of this chess game, he was standing on a high ground, and the soldiers behind him were all in a desperate situation, looking around, all of them were enemy soldiers with black and heavy armor.
And in a trance, he saw those enemy troops like a treacherous black tide, surging towards him.
Xia Ji roared with his sword, and began to unyieldingly rush and kill again and again with the remnants of the soldiers, more and more beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the beads of sweat rolled, and where he washed it, a piece of pale skin was revealed, showing that his whole person began to weaken.
And he and Guan Zhu are falling faster and faster, almost to the extreme, obviously the game is only in the middle of the game, the later war has just begun, and the most complicated battle has just begun, and the two seem to have stopped watching the chess game, and keep falling, shooting like electricity.
The sound rang non-stop in the courtyard, and the group of elites surrounding Xia Ji and the Guan Master were smiling more and more.
The laughter was infinitely evil and treacherous, and there seemed to be a bit of joy and greed.
They all stared at Xia Ji one after another, and there was no one else here.
Even the Great Elder Yu Mingzi before didn't seem to be their person.
Long...
The fog lifted.
The game is over.
Xia Ji felt that the spiritual strength consumed was enough to make a god-level monk faint, so he insisted on it a few more times, and immediately lay on the chessboard, and before fainting, he made a helpless look at the viewer, obviously apologizing for his rude behavior.
Syllable...
His cheek landed on the stone table, and he fainted.
The viewer examined Xia Ji slightly, and then looked back at the chessboard, his eyes not only showing a little shock.
The rest of the crowd saw the shock of the Spectator and gathered around.
The Guan Zhu said gloomily: "He even won half of my son, this person's strength and potential are extremely strong, so he can't be subjected to these two pages, otherwise it will be a waste..."
He thought for a while, and suddenly shouted, "Zhou Zhen." ”
An elder came out of the ranks.
The Lord said, "You quickly go and report this matter to the complaining master, and beg the complaining lord to give him the true urn." ”
"Yes!"
