Chapter Twenty-Six: The Great Contest of Spirituality
"Bump—"
There was a muffled sound. The man who was shouting the most was knocked to the ground before he could understand what was going on. Several front teeth flew up, the bridge of his nose collapsed, his mouth was covered with blood, and he passed out.
The two people who walked to the front and were about to teach Li Xuanji a lesson were stunned for a moment, and they faced the same ending, both of them were hit in the face by a trumpet fist and fell to the ground, their faces covered with blood and whimpering.
“...... Let's go up together and kill this little bastard!" The rest of the dozen or so people who had laughed at Li Xuanji were frightened, and one of them shouted boldly, and everyone besieged him, vowing to kill and maim the ruthless young man in front of him.
Li Xuanji's figure was like a monkey, and he was surrounded and arrested by more than a dozen people, tossing and turning, and he was at ease. Every now and then, a pair of fists will hit a person's face and knock one to the ground.
In just a moment, when Li Xuanji finally stopped moving and his figure appeared in front of everyone again, the last person standing also fell to the ground with his head up.
Li Xuanji stood alone in the middle of the avenue, and there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, all covering their faces with their hands, moaning constantly, and blood stained on their hands, faces, and clothes. The stone pavement of Changsheng Avenue is littered with dozens of bloody teeth.
Li Xuanji tore off a person's gorgeous white robe from the ground, wiped the blood stains on his two hands, and threw it on the ground.
"Is there still anyone making noise? I wouldn't mind putting a little more effort into making your face look a little bit more 'good'. ”
Li Xuanji spoke calmly, as if asking 'Uncle, how much is your bun'.
Hundreds of applicants on Changsheng Avenue looked at Li Xuanji like monsters, listening to the moans and wails all over the ground, and a cool wind blew into everyone's psychology.
"This young man is so chic! He looks so handsome, but it's a pity that he is a little younger......"
Several girls who watched the whole fight were not only not afraid, but stared at Li Xuanji with bright eyes, and whispered about the bold ideas in their hearts. Hearing this, Li Xuanji's face stiffened a little.
"Okay, okay, it's all gone. What to do, what to do. This is in front of the General's Mansion, and if you don't want to cause trouble, you can honestly do your own thing. ”
The strange quiet atmosphere was broken by an old voice, and the young steward waved his hand to dispel the gathered eyes. Many people have inquired about it when they first come to Pingyang City, and the annual housekeeper of the General's Mansion is a person who even has to give three points of face to many court officials, and naturally no one dares to provoke him.
"You should also go to the queue, don't waste useless time. ”
Steward Nian said casually to Li Xuanji, then turned around and walked into the gate of the General's Mansion again.
Everyone looked at the young housekeeper who had gone away with an understatement, and their minds were turning. Is this sheltering this young man? The two of them should have a relationship, right? When everyone looked at Li Xuanji again, they had already begun to gradually change from fear just now to awe.
Li Xuanji walked back to the end of the line and began to line up.
The person in front was startled, jumped out of the team directly, and saw that Li Xuanji didn't mean to do anything, so he raised his hand with an embarrassed smile and said, "It turned out to be a young man, you invite first, you invite first!"
The people in front of the team also avoided one after another, made a gesture to ask for the first, and gave up their positions, and shouted "young man" with a "smile". Compared to this teenager's fist, what is it to give up his position?
Li Xuanji easily walked directly through the team of hundreds of people and came to the porch of the General's Mansion.
The man in front of the porch who was in charge of testing the applicants' cultivation was also startled.
"How can I be detected as a cultivator?" Li Xuanji asked as he stretched out his palm.
"No, no, I'm sure you're a cultivator! ”
Seeing Li Xuanji stretch out his hand, this family member quickly hid to the side and let him go directly.
Li Xuanji walked into the gate of the General's Mansion, touched his fist and muttered quietly: "I didn't expect the slap in the face to be so effective, I ...... in the future."
When he heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and his teeth were sore.
......
In the morning, it is only a preliminary screening of ordinary applicants, and let those who come from afar to rest and prepare.
Jin Ning had already inquired clearly, so the screening process would be boring until the morning, and Li Xuanji would be 100% sure, so he went shopping again and didn't come back until after lunch. After hearing that Li Xuanji 'killed the Quartet' on Changsheng Avenue, he regretted it. She had wanted to do this kind of thing for a long time, but unfortunately she missed a great opportunity.
The afternoon test is a beginner test for psychics.
The so-called primary test is actually to find some people with unclear details, and ask the people to be tested to diagnose whether there is a problem with the spiritual veins on their bodies and where the problem is. Although this question is not difficult, only those who can judge it can be considered a beginner of the spirit magician.
The test was held in the Qianmen compound of the General's Palace.
Tables and chairs have been set up on the high platform above the steps of the compound.
Sitting in the center seat were the great general Ling Zhanye and his wife, although Ling Zhanye was only dressed in civilian clothes, he was full of momentum, like a beast descending from the mountain, looking ahead. There are more than 20 people sitting on the two vertical rows of chairs next to them, some old and some young, with a plain and confident temperament, and they are calm in their gestures. Some of them also stood behind a few of their own disciples, these disciples had straight waists and raised their eyes, as if no one was there.
A large platform was erected in the center of the compound, on which there was only a table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Below the platform stood more than 100 cultivators who had passed the primary screening. Everyone was silent, looking at the first person of the emperor in the center of the high platform in awe, how could he still have the arrogant posture in front of the general's mansion before. More people intently glanced at the more than 20 people on the high platform who had received invitations from the General's Mansion, some were envious, some were jealous, some were secretly determined to surpass, and so on.
Li Xuanji and Jin Ning were mixed in the crowd, looking at those expressionless or arrogant people on the high platform, and they also began to face it squarely.
"Shall I introduce you to your strongest opponents? Jin Ning quietly touched Li Xuanji's shoulder and asked proudly.
"If you want to say it, it's a lot of nonsense. Since you are a strong opponent, you are still deliberately disturbing my mind?" Li Xuanji said angrily.
"I don't want to hear it, I'll shut up. Jin Ning hugged her arms and stopped talking.
"Hey, hurry up. Don't hook other people's minds and don't finish the sentence. It's a big deal, after completing the task, I will accompany you to visit Pingyang City. I'll pay for it!" Li Xuanji whispered as he touched Jin Ning's arm.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. I just got a lot of information from Steward Nian, and it is not easy to know that the people who came this time are not simple.
Do you see the middle-aged man on Ling Zhanye's left? It is the one with a long black beard, this person is called Qiu Yangde. I heard that the housekeeper said that this person was a master of the world that the emperor had worked so hard to find, and he was very good at spiritual skills and was deeply valued by the emperor.
The young man in his twenties on Ling Zhanye's right hand was Guan Jianyuan. It is said that it is the person found by the close friend of Ling Cangyue, the eldest lady of the Ling family, and the talent is very good, it is said that the name of genius spread all over Pingyang City a few years ago, but he went to a distant place half a year ago, and was only recently recalled to treat Ling Cangyue's injuries.
There is also a handsome young man wearing a white robe and always holding a white paper fan in his hand, whose name is Gongsun Yuanjia. The housekeeper said that this person's origin is very mysterious, and he is a new generation of successors called Lingyinmen, and this time he suddenly came out of the mountain to Pingyang City, and the purpose is definitely not pure, but the spiritual skills in his hands must be good.
There is also the woman in purple sitting in the corner, the one who loves to laugh, her name is Shangguan Lengyun. The housekeeper said that this woman was recommended by the Mingyang Chamber of Commerce, and her origin was undocumented. However, the Mingyang Chamber of Commerce is a large multinational chamber of commerce, and its roots are in the Dali Dynasty. You have to be careful with this woman.
The rest of the old antiques are all well-known spiritualists in the Great Zhou Territory, and there are many disciples. But they are all public figures, they come from innocent backgrounds, and they also have two brushes in their hands, pay more attention to them, and don't capsize in the gutter. ”
Jin Ning told Li Xuanji in detail about all the forces seated on the high platform in one breath, without omission.
"Emperor Da Zhou, Lingyin Sect, and Mingyang Chamber of Commerce are not such a good force! This spiritual competition has become a stage for all forces, and I am really looking forward to what interesting things will happen. Li Xuanji muttered quietly. "You heard all this from the Steward Nian, and why did he tell you so much?"
"Say that the housekeeper is a good person next year, do you need to ask?"
“......”
Li Xuanji was silent, looked at Ling Zhanye, who was sitting on the high platform, and had some inexplicable smiles on his face.
When all parties arrived, the noise below faded away. Ling Zhanye, who was on the high platform, stood up and attracted everyone's attention.
The real Psi Contest has begun!
