Chapter 8: The Treasure Pavilion opens
The Treasure Pavilion is located on the highest peak in the entire Yan Mountain, Chaoxia Peak.
The Treasure Pavilion is a tower with seven pavilions, the highest is only 20 meters, and it is not very tall in general, but perhaps there are countless legends about it, so many people who know a lot about it are in awe at first sight, and there is a feeling that it is as high as looking up at the sky.
Chaoxia Peak is worthy of being the highest altitude of Yanshan, and it can already be described as straight into the sky.
On the summit, there are lingering clouds and mist everywhere throughout the year, and the sea of clouds is churning, even at the waist of the peak, hazy and picturesque. Standing on the top of the peak, every time the sun rises, people can't help but have the illusion that as long as they stretch out their hands, they can touch the huge red sun.
The scenery on the mountain peak is beautiful, the misty sea of clouds, the vigorous and powerful ancient trees, the cranes are circling, a waterfall hangs down from the cliff, sprinkles a white boundless piece, a fairy family style scene.
The sun had just risen, and it was the most beautiful time of the day on the morning glow peak, which shrouded the entire mountain through the clouds, making it as ethereal as a fairyland.
At this time in the past, the peak must have been quiet, several elders stayed outside the treasure pavilion on the peak for a long time, and easily did not leave, in addition, it was difficult to find a few people on the entire peak, even if someone appeared, they would be immediately driven away by several elders without mercy.
However, today it was very lively, and countless Yanshan disciples submerged the entire peak of Chaoxia Peak.
After a lapse of one hundred and twenty years, the Treasure Pavilion ushered in the early opening for the first time in history, which was a great event for the Yanshan Sect, and the disciples who had already obtained the qualification to enter the Treasure Pavilion in the past would soon be able to enter this Treasure Pavilion and try their chances.
The opening of the Treasure Pavilion is rare for the people here to see once in their lives, and many disciples do not have the qualifications to enter the Treasure Pavilion, but they also do not want to miss this opportunity to come and see.
For them, even if they can't get into it, it's a great honor to be able to stand outside and wait for answers.
All in all, almost everyone in the Yanshan Sect now gathers here, even many elders who have been in retreat all year round and do not care about the world.
Thousands of disciples gathered in a square outside the Treasure Pavilion, which seemed very noisy, but when Lu Yuanzhi slowly appeared, accompanied by several elders, the crowd immediately quieted down.
"Not bad, seventy-four, none of them late, all here. ”
Elder Ziyang followed Lu Yuanzhi to an incense case outside the gate of the Treasure Pavilion, and glanced at the more than seventy disciples directly below them, a faint smile appeared on his face.
The surviving disciples of the Red Flame Ridge group, after the final statistics, there were only twenty-four people in total. Of course, this did not include Yi Shaoqiu, who went with him that day.
With the addition of 50 additional places in the head of the sect, the number of people who could finally enter the Treasure Pavilion reached 74.
Yi Yun also followed Lu Yuanzhi's side, he snorted coldly, and said: "On such an important day, how could they be late, and I don't want to think about many of them, just their little way, if it wasn't for the changes in the Red Flame Ridge, how could they have a chance to enter the Treasure Pavilion." The grade of the Treasure Pavilion has really been lowered too much this time, and anyone can really enter it!"
It's just that as soon as he finished saying this, Yi Yun realized that it was not good, and sure enough, he saw Lu Yan, who was also beside the master, and said with a sneer: "Speaking of which, whose fault is this?" Sure enough, I think that the head of the sect pardons someone not guilty, it is too cheap for this person, as Elder Yi said, because of this person, he has directly lowered the grade of the Treasure Pavilion, it is better for us to correct this person now!"
Lu Yuanzhi was deeply impatient when he saw that Lu Yan and Yi Yun had the possibility of continuing to talk and fight endlessly, and immediately glanced at the two of them coldly, which blocked all the words they were going to say next.
Immediately, he looked at the seventy-four disciples below and said, "What day is today, I think you all know very well, the old man is too lazy to say anything superfluous, I just hope that after you enter the Treasure Pavilion, you will be able to gain something, and it will not be in vain for your hard work over the years, as well as your closed-door penance for a period of time." As he spoke, he swept his gaze to the disciples who had survived from the Red Flame Ridge, this time the Treasure Pavilion was opened, relative to everyone, it was obvious that these people were the most favored by him.
After Lu Yuanzhi finished saying this, he didn't say anything more, and Elder Ziyang on the side presided over on his behalf.
Elder Ziyang coughed and looked at the seventy-four people: "You and the others are all excellent disciples of one in a hundred miles in my Yan Mountain, and the old man, on behalf of all the fellow disciples, hopes that you can return to the Treasure Pavilion." Of course, as you all know, this treasure pavilion is full of challenges, so whether you can get the chance in the end depends on your respective creations, even if you don't get anything, don't be too disappointed. ”
He really deserves to be a good man, and even when he says words of encouragement, he is full of comfort.
At this time, one of the seventy-four disciples said, "Elder, we know that there are many challenges in this Treasure Pavilion, but we don't know that there is a danger of losing people's lives inside. "The disciple who said this had also entered the Red Flame Ridge and experienced the horror of the bloodthirsty demon ape.
He actually gave the hearts of all the disciples who were about to enter the Treasure Pavilion.
For a moment, all the disciples who had obtained the qualifications to enter the Treasure Pavilion all looked at Elder Ziyang in unison.
Elder Ziyang pointed to a huge furnace on the incense table in front of him and said, "Death, if you enter the Treasure Pavilion without it as a premise, the old man can't even guarantee how many of you will come back alive, but with it, after entering the Treasure Pavilion, I believe that your lives will not be in danger!"
At this time, all the disciples set their eyes on the huge Ding furnace on the incense table.
There were some incense sticks in the Ding Furnace that had not yet been lit, and if you paid close attention, you could find that the number of these incense sticks was the same as the number of disciples who were going to enter the Treasure Pavilion this time, all of them were seventy-four.
Seeing that all the disciples were confused, Elder Ziyang patiently explained, "There is actually nothing special about this Ding Furnace, what is really special is this seventy-four pillars of incense. ”
"You may not know that these incense sticks were refined by the Crane Dragon Patriarch of this sect seven thousand years ago specifically for his disciples to enter the Treasure Pavilion, called Soul Protecting Incense. The reason why the disciples who have always entered the Treasure Pavilion have been able to come out safely is because of them. You just need to inject a little bit of Yuan Force into it, and it will spontaneously combust and will never burn out. Nor will it be extinguished for no reason. ”
"It will be extinguished when you have passed all the trials in the Treasure Pavilion and come out successfully. However, this is generally rare. Because there are so few people who can pass all the tests. And the more reason that caused the soul protection incense to go out was that you unfortunately 'died' in the Treasure Pavilion. Of course, that doesn't mean you're really dead. This is also the most critical role of the Soul Protector Incense, it can keep you alive in the Treasure Pavilion, and when you are in the moment of certain death, it will lead you out of the Treasure Pavilion in time. ”
"To put it bluntly, it's like a talisman. Of course, if you 'die' in the Treasure Pavilion and return to the Treasure Pavilion by the power of the Soul Protector Incense, your trip to the Treasure Pavilion will also come to an end completely. Therefore, there is always only one opportunity, so I hope you cherish it and don't put yourself in danger easily. ”
Regarding the effect of the soul protection incense, Elder Ziyang had already explained it very specifically, but at this time, one of the disciples still seemed to be a little curious: " Elder, in the Red Flame Ridge, I and all the senior brothers can be said to be nine deaths and one life, and this is obviously arranged by the Crane Dragon Patriarch, it is not that the disciple wants to offend the ancestor and his old man, but the Red Flame Ridge is unpredictable, and the ancestor still insists on letting the disciples who will enter the Treasure Pavilion in the future to go through the training, how did it come to the moment when he wants to enter the Treasure Pavilion, the ancestor suddenly became kind to refine this soul protection incense for the disciples, forgive the disciples for being stupid, and hope that the elders can solve the doubts for the disciples. ”
Obviously, the person who said this was also a disciple who had entered the Red Flame Ridge.
Hearing this, Elder Ziyang muttered in his heart: "I also said that I didn't want to offend the ancestor, but when it came to this, I have already offended the offense." ”
But he was actually able to fully understand this disciple's feelings, and he could understand the feelings of all the disciples who had been to Chiyan in the past. He believed that these people were full of high respect for the Crane Dragon Zhenren, but the greater the respect, the greater the complaint, after all, the trial in the Red Flame Ridge was really impressive.
Without waiting for Elder Ziyang to speak, Yi Yun snorted coldly and hurriedly said, "Do you still need to ask such a stupid question? Do you think anyone can pass all the tests in the Treasure Pavilion? The disciples who can't go to the end will normally die in all kinds of tests, and because of the soul protection incense, they can come out alive." You still think this is the Red Flame Ridge!"
"If the ancestor doesn't refine the soul protection incense, then in terms of the degree of danger alone, the Treasure Pavilion has far surpassed the habitat of the bloodthirsty demon ape, and every time the disciples who enter it have almost no way to live, the consequence of this is that the elite disciples of the entire Yanshan Sect will be killed and injured, and the Yanshan Sect will definitely have no successors in the future. What a real person, how could he let this happen!"
Elder Ziyang poked Yi Yun lightly with his hand, as if to say, the disciples haven't entered the Treasure Pavilion yet, aren't you saying this to hit their morale! Helplessly, Yi Yun seemed to be too involved at this time, and he didn't notice his hint at all.
When many people heard Yi Yun's words, they suddenly remembered what Elder Ziyang had said before, without the existence of soul protection incense, after everyone entered the Treasure Pavilion, he couldn't even guarantee how many of them would survive. It can be seen that the test that awaits them in the Treasure Pavilion is really dangerous and unpredictable.
