Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Shadow of the Leopard (Part 3)
While many disciples were looking blankly and shocked at the depths of the Stele Forest Peak, a loud, high-pitched and angry voice came: "Who provoked the Dharma Protector Divine Beast!?"
Yifeng could hear that this was the roar of Elder Fa, but he was even more curious about what a Dharma Protector Divine Beast was?
A spirit beast with jet blue fur, golden veins, and three giant eyes flashed in his mind, and he was a spirit cloud beast.
But obviously, the Spirit Cloud Beast is a spirit beast that has been guarding the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of Chao Buddha Peak, and it should not come here, what is the Dharma Protector Divine Beast of Beilin Peak?
The guardian warrior monks on the side of the road seemed to have special telecommunication powers, and immediately knew the situation of the entrance to the secret realm, and they explained to the disciples along the road that there was nothing major at the entrance of the secret realm, and asked the disciples to move on.
These cultivation disciples were not ordinary people, so although they were surprised, they still forcibly calmed down and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm with a lot of discussions.
The fire monkey couldn't suppress his curiosity, and ran to the front to talk with the disciples of the other courtyard, and the disciples in front of him also seemed to be quite talkative, and they had a heated discussion with the fire monkey.
It wasn't until everyone came to the entrance of the secret realm that they could see the situation here.
In the depths of the Stele Forest Peak, there is a gray cliff, dozens of zhang high, there is a black vortex in the middle of the cliff, and the black light rotates in it, and the depths of the black vortex are the secret realm sealed by Nanzong Temple.
In front of the cliff, there is an open field, surrounded by green pines and cypresses, guarded by warrior monks with baguettes, and there is only one road leading here.
Yifeng and the others walked out of this road and came to the open space in front of the cliff, but they saw another huge spirit beast walking in front of the cliff, roaring twice from time to time.
This huge spirit beast was several feet tall, with a long and narrow body, solid muscles, and a pure black fur, with strange golden patterns like the spirit cloud beast, extending from the head and neck to the tail, like a beautiful golden branch spreading out on its body.
Its limbs are covered with black wings that vibrate as it walks.
The strangest thing is that it has two identical heads, which look like a leopard, huge eyes that glow fiercely, and sharp teeth that flicker white.
Xiu Gu looked at the Dharma Protector Divine Beast with some fear, and pulled Yifeng's sleeve.
A disciple who was walking with the fire monkey in front looked back, the fire monkey was a little worried, so the disciple came over with him and smiled at Xiu Gu: "I am Ben Liang from Hongguang Academy, and I have heard Senior Brother Ben Xuan often mention you recently. ”
Xiu Gu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly forgot that she was afraid, her cheeks fluttered, and she was ashamed.
Ben Liang seemed to know a lot, and continued to explain: "This is the guardian beast of Beilin Peak, the Xuanying Leopard, it was originally a Mahayana powerful mount of Nanzong Temple, and later put it here to guard the secret realm.
"It turned out that many elders and disciples were still worried that it would come out and hurt people. But hundreds of years have passed, except for its activities in the Stele Forest Peak, it has never appeared in other places, and it does not hurt people at will, but only guards the entrance of the secret realm to prevent anyone from trespassing without permission. ”
At this time, almost all the disciples of the various courtyards and peaks behind them came, standing in the open area at the entrance of the secret realm, and they didn't seem to be so crowded.
But many disciples also saw the Xuanying Leopard for the first time, and they all showed surprised eyes.
Elder Lifa spoke respectfully to the Xuanying Leopard as it walked around, but he couldn't understand the content.
When the fire monkey saw the spirit beast, he became interested and asked, "Senior Brother Ben Liang, what is Elder Lifa talking about?"
Monk Ben Liang said: "This is a set of secret words left by the owner of the Xuanying Leopard in the past, specifically to communicate with it, so you can't understand it." ”
The fire monkey said: "Do you still need to communicate with the spirit beast like this?
Monk Ben Liang said: "A truly powerful spirit beast is not so easy to surrender. If you encounter powerful spirit beasts in the future, don't underestimate the enemy, some of them are even much more intelligent than ordinary people. ”
The fire monkey lowered his head and laughed twice, but did not speak.
Elder Lifa turned around at this time, his expression was serious, and he said loudly to everyone: "Before I came just now, two disciples fought in front of the entrance of the secret realm without authorization, stand up for me!"
Yifeng had already had a number of disciples come over before they came, and Elder Lifa was in charge of the selection of this secret realm trial, and just now he was walking with the monk of the Refining Hall who was carrying the Buddha card.
He had to take care of these important things related to the selection of this secret realm, and he couldn't lose any of them, so he walked behind those disciples.
As soon as he heard the strange movement just now, he hurried to the scene after the Xuanying Leopard was furious, but the two disciples had already retreated into the crowd.
None of the disciples reacted, because everyone knew the importance of this selection.
Although it is dangerous to enter the secret realm trial, the benefits are very considerable, and every place is very precious.
Not only can you improve your cultivation, or find treasures, but after you are selected, you will also have the opportunity to make a name for yourself in Nanzong Temple and even in the Great Martial Kingdom, so as to accumulate good capital and pave the way for your future cultivation or to become an elder in an important position in Nanzong Temple.
This is also what the peaks and courtyards expect, and it is never a bad thing to add one of their own among the elders.
Therefore, presumably, each disciple has been explained by their respective elders before coming here, and they should cherish the opportunity of this trial, and no one dares to admit it at this time.
Seeing that Elder Fa's words didn't work, the Xuanying Leopard standing in front of the disciple couldn't bear it.
It stopped pacing, opened two large basins of blood and roared angrily, and the fleshy wings on the outside of its limbs all opened, constantly fanning, fanning a few whirlwinds.
The neck of the two heads began to spray two black mist with its roar, and as the black fog became thicker and thicker, suddenly, one of the heads suddenly broke away from its body, becoming a new shadow leopard!
The fire monkey's eyes lit up, and his mouth muttered: "Oh! This shadow leopard can be a doppelganger, if I subdue it, wouldn't I have two helpers?"
The body of the new Shadow Leopard was exactly the same as before, except that there was only one head left, and there was no big hole in the neck of the original Shadow Leopard, and the fur of the two Shadow Leopards was smooth and shiny.
I have to say that although its doppelganger behavior is a little weird, it is much more pleasing to the eye now.
However, the two shadow leopards slowly approached the disciples, their mouths buzzing and roaring, the disciples retreated in fright, the shadow leopards lowered their heads, their eyes were firm, and they finally stood in front of the two disciples in the crowd, and the two disciples turned pale with fright.
The Shadow Leopard's fierce eyes glowed, but there was a hint of anthropomorphic banter, as if mocking the two disciples for only using the useless trick of hiding in the crowd.
The fire monkey looked at the Xuanying Leopard and his face turned red with excitement, and kept repeating: "Clever, really smart, how nice it would be if you could be my mount!"
Elder Lifa waved his sleeves and scolded: "You two, get out of the way for me! This time you will be disqualified from the secret realm selection! You still dare to fight at the entrance of the secret realm, do you know that once the magic power fluctuates and destroys the magic circle at the entrance, the entrance of the secret realm will collapse, and it will be difficult to enter again! At that time, the price you pay will not be so easy as canceling the quota!"
The two Xuanying Leopards shook their heads when they heard Elder Fa's punishment for them, and suddenly glanced in the direction of Yifeng, who was stared at by their four eyes, and suddenly panicked in their hearts.
But the shadow leopard did not make any more movements, but slowly paced back to the cliff circle, and one of them slammed into the other, directly into the body of the other, leaving only the head outside, so it appeared as a two-headed leopard again.
The two disciples walked to the side with sad faces, and a monk took them out of the Beilin Peak.
Elder Lifa breathed a sigh of relief and said to the disciples: "Okay, from now on, according to the list, starting with the disciples of Hongguang Academy, receive the Buddha cards in turn, and start to enter the secret realm!"
Everyone followed the order of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, headed by Hongguangyuan, to receive the Buddha card.
I saw that Ben Xuan was the first to step forward to receive the Buddha card, the Buddha card was shining with golden light, the front was a golden statue of the Buddha, and the back was a golden magic circle, Ben Xuan took the Buddha card, jumped in front of the gray cliff, and flew to the front of the black whirlpool of the cliff, and slowly flew forward, directly into the secret realm.
The people behind followed Ben Xuan's example, received the Buddha card, and flew to the entrance of the secret realm.
The Shadow Leopard crouched aside, staring at four vicious eyes, carefully looking at everyone who entered the secret realm.
Finally, it was the turn of the fire monkey, and he received the amulet, but instead of flying to the entrance of the secret realm like everyone else, he walked to the Xuanying Leopard.
The Shadow Leopard looked at him suspiciously, and the fire monkey silently muttered words to it.
It turned out that this was the spell he learned in the secret book of True Mind Summoning Spirit, and he could try to communicate with the spirit beast, but he didn't expect that the fire monkey would be bold at this moment and try to communicate with the Xuanying Leopard.
However, the Xuanying Leopard didn't seem to understand, with some anger in his doubts, he snorted in a low voice, and the Fa Elder behind him urged: "What are you doing?
The fire monkey finally finished reading, and the shadow leopard squatted on the ground and lowered his head in contemplation, and after thinking for a while, a head suddenly opened its huge mouth, startling the fire monkey and everyone behind it.
I saw a transparent thing erupt from the mouth of the Xuanying Leopard and pour it on the fire monkey.
The fire monkey was stunned, soaking wet.
The people in the back laughed, Xiu Gu took Yifeng's hand, covered her stomach with a smile and said with difficulty: "Second senior brother, this big fool, he was spit on by the divine beast, and he laughed at me to death!"
The fire monkey shook his wet monk's robe, his face was calm, as if nothing had happened, and he gave a thumbs up to the Xuanying Leopard, turned around and flew into the entrance of the secret realm.
