Chapter 8: The Pool of Manifestation
Shen Chuan came interested and teased this "newcomer", who has been a little bored recently.
"Senior brother?" The boy named Zhong Hao looked puzzled and looked down at Shen Chuanโhe was half a head taller than Shen Chuan.
"Well, yes, that's it......"
"But you're not as old as me...... Did you enter the Sword House since you were a child?"
Shen Chuan sighed: The son can be taught. Zhengse said: "Did you see that sister? Yes, the veiled beauty of the disciple of the Sword Mansion, that is our priest sister, she entered the Sword House before me." โ
Shen Chuan felt a rare sense of honesty.
Sure enough, Zhong Hao stood with his hands in his hands when he heard this, and nodded solemnly: "Well, Senior Brother is right. โ
Shen Chuan couldn't wait to clap his hands and applaud, this senior brother's call made him feel comfortable, but Zhong Hao's next sentence made his face change.
"Sister Priest is a legend of the Sword House, I believe you are here...... Everyone in the station knows something, and when I enter the Sword House, I will learn from her......"
"It's just that this is difficult to compare to ascending to the sky, her talent in kendo is too high!"
"Ahem!" Shen Chuan didn't swallow a mouthful of saliva, coughed violently a few times, and said with a red face: "You can't admire her, right?"
He once overheard in the Sword Pavilion that a disciple had said that many people in the Sword Pavilion admired Mu Yuyin, and they were self-taught to use this word.
When Zhong Hao heard this, his face full of righteousness instantly collapsed. He was dressed in a crimson robe painted with strange patterns, and his waist was as straight as a gun, without losing a sense of righteousness. At this moment, he hooked his body, his eyes were blurred for a moment, and then he complained to Shen Chuan.
"This ...... Senior brother, don't mention this again, and I have someone to admire. โ
Shen Chuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw him deflated again: "Why is this?"
Zhong Hao glanced at Shen Chuan strangely, stood up straight again, and reminded, "Senior Brother Chen......"
"What Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Zhang......"
"Humph!"
Zhong Hao shook his head and left when he heard this, leaving Shen Chuan with a blank expression.
"Xiu wants to make fun of me, even Senior Brother Chen doesn't know, and he still calls him 'Senior Brother'!"
"Wait, don't mind...... Buying and selling can't make friendship!"
Shen Chuan didn't know where he had exposed his stuffing, and couldn't help but sigh: It seems that this pretending to be a senior brother also requires capital! The current newcomer is really not easy to deceive.
"It's just that who is Senior Brother Chen? Do I have to know him? I won't know him if he knows me, and he's not an immortal!"
"It's just that I'm raising the pastor, sister, what are you mentioning, Senior Brother Chen, for?"
Shen Chuan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't want to, just at this time, the front was lively.
Looking around, Shen Chuan couldn't see the front at this moment, let alone where Mu Yuyin's people wereโpeople were all huddled together. Thousands of people were crowded in front of him, which made Shen Chuan a little broken for a while: Could it be that I am the youngest here? Shen Chuan found that those people were basically fourteen or fifteen years old, and there were very few people about the same age as himself, so he stood in the crowd and looked a little "small".
Suddenly, he thought of repeating his old trick!
"Let's go, let's go, I'm your senior brother, go to the front if you have something!"
Sure enough, Shen Chuan found that this sentence was very good, and soon he opened a path, and Mu Yuyin's figure also appeared in his eyes.
"Hmph, don't be fooled by him!"
I don't know who said this, Shen Chuan suddenly felt that the eyes around him were extremely unkind.
"It turns out that he is also a newcomer, why let us make way!"
"That is, there are people from all sides of the Jianlu assessment, don't mess around with your noble status, although we don't have any background or scenery, we can't let you bully!"
"Isn't the status of the little princess of Daxia noble? You see that their chariots are parked well on the side, this is called magnanimity...... Besides, I don't think he's a person of status!"
......
Shen Chuan secretly scolded Zhong Hao thousands of times in his heart, this guy actually betrayed him!
But right now, it seemed to have aroused the anger of the crowd, and sure enough, he looked back at the surroundings, and the chariots and beast rides of the nobles were all parked on the periphery: they were parked high outside, and they could see what was going on inside! Shen Chuan complained.
The next moment, Shen Chuan felt his body hang in the air.
When I turned around, I saw a big man...... Not very old, but very burly.
For the first time, Shen Chuan was furious! He actually lifted himself up with one hand!
"Isn't this fun?" Shen Chuan calmly looked back at the big man.
"Haha!" There was a burst of laughter all around, and everyone was laughing.
Not far away, Mu Yuyin also saw the scene here, a male disciple beside him seemed to be asking her if she wanted to come over to mediate, but they saw that this person came with her, so she shook her head.
"This guy must be mischievous again. โ
Shen Chuan looked at the big man's strong muscles and muttered to himself, "I don't know how my strength compares to him?"
The people around laughed even harder.
Shen Chuan was carried into the void with his clothes, he stretched out a hand and grabbed the big man's thick wrist, then crossed his elbow with his hand and flicked it hard.
"Ahh
The people around looked at this scene in shock: although this little boy has the meaning of four or two thousand pounds, this power is enough to shock!
Shen Chuan was finally let go, and then he couldn't help but say something, and slammed into the big man's chest and abdomen.
"Bang!"
The big man was knocked into the air.
"This ......"
"It's just a humanoid beast......"
"No wonder he is so fearless, I don't know if it is from that family, you should be careful when you meet him in the assessment. โ
Regardless of the whispers around him, Shen Chuan clapped his hands after doing these and crossed the road that had been out of the way before.
In the corner, Zhong Hao looked at Shen Chuan's back with a little surprise, and he began to be a little curious about this guy.
At this moment, a disciple of the Sword Lu seemed to whisper to the people around him: "Everyone, the Sword Lu assessment is about to begin! This assessment lasts for three days!"
It seemed soft, but his voice was heard in all areas where there were people. Shen Chuan was a little surprised, he actually felt a spiritual aura mixed with this voice. However, in order to avoid making the mistake of Xiaobai again, he listened silently, only to grin when he saw Mu Yuyin looking at him.
Another Jianlu disciple said, "I believe, you all know about the Manifestation Pool. Next, all those who come to participate in the assessment are invited to enter the forest behind us, and they can form a team or go to the foot of the mountain alone, the purpose is to find the location of the Manifestation Pool, and you may encounter all kinds of fierce beasts in the middle, and you have to deal with them. โ
It seemed that there was an order, and the next Jianlu disciple continued: "After finding the Manifestation Pool, you should all know how to do it...... Regarding the fierce beast, I would also like to mention that there is a kind of beast called the sword horn, and its crystal nucleus is a very important thing in this assessment. โ
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone around them let out a sigh.
"The Manifestation Pool is also the content of the assessment, it seems that the assessment of this sword house is really against the sky!"
"That is, in a place like the Manifestation Pool, how many people can enter and have a vision?"
"Just because you don't have that talent doesn't mean others don't?"
When a proud man said this, he immediately complained less. No one saw it, and Zhong Hao, who was in the crowd, frowned......
Seeing that the next Sword Lu disciple was about to speak again, Shen Chuan couldn't help but feel a little funny, and looked ahead with a smile. I didn't listen to much of the specific content, he didn't care, but he had no fear, and when the time came, he just followed Mu Yuyin.
The disciple said: "The Manifestation Pool is just for reference, the real assessment is when you arrive at the stone wall between the first and second layers of the Sword Mansion, how much you can learn from the first part of the Sword Sutra, this is the core of the assessment." โ
"I'll just say, as a holy place of swordsmanship, the key is to assess the comprehension of swordsmanship!" said a man with a long sword raised his eyebrows.
The people around him were full of approval.
"Everybody's clear about the rules, I'll add one more point. If the crystal nucleus of the sword horn beast is absorbed, it can improve your comprehension of the sword scripture. The final assessment of the Sword House is only your comprehension of the Sword Sutra, as for how you comprehend it, the Sword House will not ask. โ
It was Mu Yuyin who spoke, and her beautiful voice resounded in every corner, and some people were fascinated by it.
But when everyone heard the meaning of her words, everyone felt cold sweat.
Does it mean that regardless of the means of obtaining the crystal nucleus? People seem to have seen the scene of real swords and guns.
Although everyone present was very confident in their talents, but with the existence of such an anti-heaven thing as the Sword Horn Crystal Nucleus, talent is also secondary: relying on personal understanding alone, how much can you comprehend the Sword Sutra in such a short period of time?
No wonder it was said that they could form a team, and the surrounding scene became noisy. Some people started to move around, forming gangs everywhere, and the scene was suddenly a little chaotic. And none of the disciples of Jianlu stood up to manage it, and it seems that every assessment is like this.
Shen Chuan had seen from the Sword Pavilion Classics Building that the Sword Pavilion had not recruited new disciples every five years, and the number of recruits was about more than a hundred. And now there are thousands of people here, and it seems that the competition is fierce......
"Sister Mu is so bad, a few words messed up the scene......" Shen Chuan snickered.
Mu Yuyin, who was on the other side of the crowd, seemed to see Shen Chuan's small movements and threw him a roll of his eyes.
When Shen Chuan saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: This Mu sister doesn't know how many young and handsome people she will harm in the future! It seems that she is right to wear a veil.
"This time, I will be the leader of the assessment, if you can pass the assessment, I will be the senior sister of your freshmen. โ
Mu Yuyin's calm voice came into the crowd, once again stirring up chaos on the scene.
"Sister Pastor is actually the eldest sister of this newcomer?
"It is rumored that Sister Priest is a highly talented person in the Sword Mansion, and she has broken the record of the fourth chapter of the Sword Sutra in the Sword Mansion, so do we have to continue to write glory?"
"You don't dream! you're just watching others continue to write brilliant things. โ
"Looks like I'm going to have to work harder, in case I ......"
"There won't be a case for you. โ
......
There was a lot of noise around, and even Shen Chuan was surprised, she was actually the senior sister of this disciple? Shen Chuan knew that she had been in the Sword House for at least ten years, and she was considered a very senior person in the Sword House. He also knew that Jianlu used to select outstanding disciples from the previous disciples to teach new disciples, and it stands to reason that she would not be allowed to take on the responsibility. It's not that the qualifications are insufficient, but that the qualifications are too sufficient.
"Hello Senior Sister! I'm Xia Huanjing! I adore you very much!"
Just as Shen Chuan lowered his head and pondered, a delicate girl's voice came into everyone's ears.
Shen Chuan turned his head to see that an eleven or twelve-year-old girl wearing a flaming red dress was standing on the golden chariot and waved her hand at Mu Yuyin.
At this time, the voice of the disciple of the Sword Lu came again: "Now the assessment begins! Everyone, please enter the woods and target the Manifestation Pool!"
