Chapter 138: Ninefold Swallowing Yuan Pillar
(Ask for a treasure and push a reward package, haha...... Before I knew it, it was the weekend again, did you have any arrangements? I was going to sleep on it for a day, and I didn't rest until two o'clock last night, so sleepy...... )
......
I don't know when, in the north of the ancient cloud city of the widest guard training ground, quietly built a huge long building, the door is semicircular, about ten zhang wide, and the length is nearly a hundred zhang, as if a huge insect-shaped creature lying in this place, so the people of the ancient cloud city are called its image "insect corridor". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The worm corridor was completely enclosed, and even the space above it was obscured without any gaps, and the people in the vicinity knew almost nothing except the sound of the clanging inside every day. There were guards on the left and right sides of the insect corridor, and the guards were all dressed in moon-white clothes, and they were all strangers who had never appeared in Guyun City.
There have also been good deeds who want to get close to the worm corridor to have a glimpse of what is going on, but those arrogant guards almost use only one sword every time to completely clean up those good deeds, even if the cultivation of the good deeds has stepped into the realm of the sword one-heavy heaven, but it is also difficult to escape the fate of being bombarded by a sword and then falling into a dog and.
Therefore, in recent days, the insect corridor has almost become the most mysterious forbidden place in Ancient Cloud City.
However, everyone understands that when Qingshanmen really recruits disciples, this place will definitely be completely open, and the mysteries inside will inevitably come to light at that time, so people who come and go will temporarily suppress their curiosity, just waiting for that big day to really come.
On October 10th, the autumn was crisp, and the faint heat made the entire Ancient Cloud City quickly boil. When the sun just rose, countless crowds poured out of the streets and alleys of the entire city, almost all of them happily marching towards the northern training ground.
The young people who practiced kendo were excited to participate in this grand assessment, while those ordinary people or cultivators who did not meet the conditions were happy to be able to witness the biggest event in the ancient cloud city in the past hundred years and take this opportunity to see the momentum and majesty of the real kendo sect.
When Nie Long and the others, as well as Nie Tong and his wife, and other personnel arrived at the training ground, there was already a sea of people around, the atmosphere was noisy, and the door of the insect corridor that had been closed for a long time was completely open. However, to the slight disappointment of Nie Long and the others, they could only see a small part of the interior of the worm corridor as far as their eyes could see, because the deeper part of it was completely shielded by a tall shadow wall.
According to the rules, the registration place is in the worm corridor, that is, a spacious space as far as the eye can see at the entrance of the worm corridor, but when entering the worm corridor, almost everyone first locked their eyes on the huge screen next to the door, because there are several columns of strong characters carved there, listing the requirements for recruitment:
1. Not more than 25 years of age, regardless of gender or origin;
2. Beginners who cultivate to at least swordsmen;
3. Those who have passed the next two assessments and passed the grades.
These three requirements are not complicated, and almost literate people can understand their meaning at a glance. But a discerning person can tell that the most difficult condition is the unknown third, not to mention anything else, there are at least thousands of teenagers in Guyun City who can meet the first two in Guyun City, although this Qingshan Gate is huge, it is impossible to accept all of them as disciples, not to mention that with the arrogant attitude of Qingshan Gate, it seems that he can't look down on these young people in Guyun City at all.
Therefore, the real level of this recruitment falls on the two unknown assessments, but except for the cadres who signed up for it, outsiders don't know anything about it, which even directly makes those high-level people in Guyun City who have good resources hateful, because even if they want to secretly guide the juniors, they don't have the slightest chance.
But how could the young people of the newborn calves, who were not afraid of tigers, be frightened by this assessment that they had not even seen? So it didn't take long for the teenagers who walked into the worm corridor to exceed double digits, and of course Nie Long and the others were among them.
Nie Feng is almost sixteen years old this year, and his cultivation has also reached the Triple Heaven Realm of the Sword Master, so he naturally meets the registration requirements, while Long Datong's cultivation meets the conditions, but his age is twenty-six years old, which is a full year older than the registration requirements. But just when Nie Long and the others were worried about this, the person in the moon-white costume holding the blood age sensor ball in his hand coldly reported the result of being twenty-five years old, which made Nie Long and the others surprised for a while. However, the casual glance of the man in the moon-white costume immediately afterwards made Nie Long and the others understand that it was not that he could not check it, but that he did not bother to expose it at all, as if it was a hint: Even if you sign up, what can you do? If you fail the assessment, you will still be eliminated.
However, in addition to secretly fluke, Nie Long and the others did not take the meaning of the words of the person in the white costume to heart, Qingshan Gate has an incomparable heritage in Ancient Cloud City, and people should be arrogant, and this arrogance is not without benefits, at least it brings opportunities to Long Datong.
The registration of nearly 1,000 people did not last long, and it was completely closed before noon. And as the sun slowly moves to noon, the first test officially begins.
Almost everyone who signed up stepped into the assessment place one after another with a feeling of anxiety, that is, behind the screen of the registration place, in a space about ten zhang wide and about twenty zhang deep, there was a pitch-black pillar about five zhang high, which required at least three people to hug each other, and on both sides of the pillar stood a group of guards, all dressed in moon white, only the first person was dressed in green clothes, and it was obvious that the people in green clothes were the leaders of this group of guards.
Seeing the first group of 300 people stepping into the assessment field, the people in Tsing Yi did not talk nonsense, and announced the assessment rules when they stepped out first, that is, to leave clear sword marks on this huge pitch-black pillar, and those who left behind were considered to have passed the first assessment, and those who could not do it were directly eliminated.
When listening to the people in Tsing Yi announce the assessment rules, Nie Long and the others looked at each other unconsciously for a while, of course, not only them, but even everyone present was very surprised: Isn't this kind of assessment too easy?
As we all know, when the training reaches the limit, the strength of the person will be greatly improved, although it is not yet able to reach the point of cracking the tiger and leopard, but it is not too difficult to use the long sword to chop the boulder, and with the condensation of the sword qi in the dantian, that is, to step into the realm of the swordsman, the strength is still slowly improving, especially the appearance of the sword, but also on the basis of the original sharpness of the long sword, with a little sharpness, at this time, it is needless to say that it leaves traces on the mountain stone, even if the mountain stone is used as a mud block to cut a few times, it is not impossible.
Could it be that this assessment is deliberately unsatisfactory to them?
Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore, a young man of about twenty years old strode forward, circled around the pitch-black pillar a few times, the wide heavy sword at his waist was raised high, and the fog white at the front end of the heavy sword symbolized that the young man had just stepped into the threshold of the swordsman not long ago, but the sword raised was full of great might, as if the giant pillar was about to be split in half under a sword.
"Drink!"
The young man's heavy sword finally fell, but in the expectant eyes of everyone, there was a sudden "bell" loud sound, and then sparks flew everywhere, and the heavy sword was heavily ejected back by the pitch-black giant pillar, and the wide sword body of the heavy sword crossed a reverse arc in the air, and was thrown high with the young man's shocked figure.
"This, how can it be ......"
The young man's eyes were full of sluggishness, just now it was a sword he poured all his might, even if it was a hard mountain stone, it could definitely directly chop a corner, could it be that this giant pillar was even harder than a mountain stone?
Of course, he has a second chance. However, after he almost burst out of this second sword with a fierce blow, everyone understood that he had been ruthlessly eliminated, because this sword was not much stronger than the first sword just now, and it might even be a point weaker.
When the young man was extremely unwilling to be forcibly erected by the guards in the moon-white costume, there was almost no sound in the spacious space.
Looking at the crowd of people who didn't want to give up but didn't dare to come forward to try, the Tsing Yi man next to the giant pillar finally broke the silence with a smile.
"Ahem, I forgot to make it clear to everyone, this giant pillar also has a nice name, called 'Ninefold Swallowing Yuan Pillar', of course this is the lowest kind of ......"
Before the last word of the Tsing Yi man landed, the spacious space suddenly exploded as if boiling water was soaked in hot oil.
"What, it's actually the Ninefold Swallowing Yuan Pillar? It's over, it's really over now!"
"Ninefold Swallowing Yuan Pillar, the sword will not leave a trace, unless it reaches the Ninefold Heavenly ......"
"Who said that there are no traces, as long as the cultivation is high enough, the sword marks can still be left for a long time......"
"Hmph, isn't it just leaving obvious sword marks? What's the big deal! I'll come!"
After knowing the details of the black giant pillar, someone finally mustered up the courage to walk out again, and the humming of everyone stopped instantly, and one by one the expectant eyes involuntarily looked at the person who stepped out, a young man with eyebrows quite open and dark skin was standing in front of the giant pillar like a mountain, the long sword in his hand had been raised, and a large cloud of black mist burst out of his palm in an instant.
The two Nie Long in the crowd couldn't help but squint slightly, the young man in front of the giant pillar they knew, it was none other than the third elder Mu Lei's lineage, one of Mu Qing's sworn friends who were frightened by the flying sword in Nie Feng's hand when he rescued the Naked Eagle last time, Mu Guo.
