Chapter 45: The Call of the Pillar
"What is the basis for what you say?" Li Haotian glanced at Chen Man and asked Wang Yong out loud.
Nangong Liuyun and Xu Dongqing both have their own dissatisfactions, Nangong Liuyun doesn't need to say much, as for Xu Dongqing, he only thinks about Li Qing's matter as soon as possible, and Wang Yong won the championship in the foreign sect competition earlier.
Everyone thought that Wang Yong was doing nothing, but Chen Man had a smile on the corner of his mouth, touching the head of the little wolf cub in his arms, neither excusing himself nor fighting back against Wang Yong.
Wang Yong mistakenly thought that Chen Man's reaction was due to a weak heart, and pointed to the wolf cub in his arms with a disdainful smile, "Senior Brother Chen Man, what's the matter with this little cub, don't tell me it's also your brother?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the central square held back a smile, especially the people in Wang Yong's family, who laughed unscrupulously.
Nangong Liuyun glared at Xu Dongqing in annoyance, that guy was an elder, but at this time, he laughed like the disciples below, it was simply disrespectful to the elder!
"Chen Man, what's going on?" Nangong Liuyun asked directly to Chen Man in a hurry, he was still depressed why Chen Man was so indifferent and didn't excuse himself.
"Elder, it was encountered by the disciple during his training, and the disciple saw that it was helpless and quite pitiful, and that it was destined for me, so he wanted to adopt it, as for the wolves that this senior brother said, the disciple had never seen it. ”
After that, Chen Man asked the person who was carrying Li Qing's corpse, "Senior brother, when you found Senior Brother Li Qing's corpse and those wild wolf corpses, were there other people around?"
"Nope. ”
The man had already straightened his breathing at this moment, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "If there were other people nearby who were not noticed by me at that time, it can only be said that his hidden skills are too strong. ”
After finishing speaking, the man looked at Chen Man carefully a few times, and then took his eyes away from Chen Man with some disdain, which meant to tell Chen Man that you don't have such ability.
Chen Man's expression seemed to be indifferent, but there was a pun in his words.
"That's natural, this senior brother's cultivation is already the pinnacle of the second grade of the Gathering Spirit, it is difficult to find an opponent among the second grade, I am just lucky enough to break through the third grade recently, and I definitely can't hide the qi under the nose of the senior brother. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had nothing to say, and Wang Yong didn't know what to say, only the person who carried Li Qing's body back, but his face was a little unpleasant.
In addition to exonerating himself from suspicion, Chen Man's words also meant that he was emphasizing that he was already a third-grade spirit gatherer.
This person entered the Outer Sect more than a year earlier than Chen Man, but now he is only a second-grade spirit gatherer, how can he give Chen Man a good face when he understands this meaning.
"Head, Senior Brother Chen Man is only a newcomer to the third grade, it is impossible to completely hide his traces around a junior disciple at the peak of the second grade, according to the disciple's opinion, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Man. ”
Under Nangong Liuyun's secret signal, Jin Mu also began to help Chen Man exonerate himself.
"Li Qing died under the siege of wolves, in my opinion, Yuwen Haoran is the most suspicious, can't his phantom flute control beasts?" Even Wang Shou, who had always had an indifferent expression, actually spoke at this time.
Before saying this, Wang Shou had a momentary eye contact with Yuwen Haoran, although it was only for an instant, but both of them showed their dissatisfaction with each other without reservation.
At this time, the disciples of the outer sect had already returned, and those who had not yet reached the central square were also rushing back at full speed, but only a small part of them had purple marble in their hands.
Most people looked at the purple stones in the hands of their fellow disciples around them, and they didn't feel a good feeling in their hearts, sighing why they didn't have such good luck.
Li Haotian grabbed Li Qing's corpse from the square with his big hand out of thin air, and looked at the corpse with scaly wounds hovering in front of him, Li Haotian was very unhappy in his heart.
"Master, the current situation is special, and it should be the main thing for the foreign sect to compete with the arts, so it is better for me to take Wang Shou Jinmu and the others into the mountain first, and go to the place where the incident occurred. ”
Feeling the anger emanating from Li Haotian's body, the three elders were also silent, Liu Xi clasped his fists behind Li Haotian and said after a moment of silence.
Hearing Liu Xi mention the skills of the foreign sect, Li Haotian's anger calmed down, and he waved his hand behind him with a heavy expression, signaling that Liu Xi could do what he wanted.
"If it's really the fierce beast in the mountain, it's good, I hope it's not my refining sect disciples killing each other. ”
When Li Haotian whispered to himself, Liu Xi had already summoned Wang Shou and Jin Mu, the two disciples of the Inner Sect, and the three of them swept by, and disappeared from the sight of many disciples in the square in a few breaths.
After the three of them submerged into the mountain forest, Li Haotian stared at the corpse in the air in front of him, and his eyes suddenly burst with essence, and he had never seen him cast a spell, but Li Qing's corpse had already turned into a fireball.
"All the disciples listened to the order, and now we will start to hold a ceremony for the competition of foreign sects, and those who have found the purple marble in the experience will stay in the square with your treasures, and they will exit quickly if they have not passed the experience. ”
At this time, Li Qing's corpse turned into a pile of ashes in the fire and fell at his feet, at this moment, when he spoke, Li Haotian had once again regained the majesty of his previous head, and he was domineering and not angry.
As soon as the master's voice fell, the disciples of the outer sect gathered in the central square immediately divided into two groups, some took out a piece of purple marble with an excited face, and some walked down the central square dejectedly.
It was almost evening now, but even so, it couldn't affect the Refining Sect to hold a ceremony for the competition of foreign sects.
Huge torches are lit under the twelve totem poles in the central square, so that the surrounding area cannot be shrouded in night, and it is still as bright as day, adding a sacred color to the competition ceremony.
Tonight, there is a peak in Yayun Mountain that is lit up all night, and everyone who is destined to be here will experience a sleepless night.
All the disciples of the Refining Sect had already gathered on the periphery of the square, and even the miscellaneous servants were all present, intending to break through the Gathering Spirit Period with some insights by observing this off-site sect competition.
Chen Man saw He Manzi in the crowd at a glance, hugged the wolf cub and walked towards him with a smile, He Manzi also saw Chen Man, his face was full of smiles.
"Help me hold it, and I'll go and bring you a myelin-cleansing pill back. Chen Man put the little wolf cub in He Manzi's arms and whispered in his ear.
He Manzi held the little wolf cub in his arms, nodded with a smile, and silently endured the envious eyes from the many miscellaneous servants around him, after all, in their opinion, the same miscellaneous servants, He Dali had a big brother who was a disciple of the outer sect, which was excellent.
When Chen Man returned to the square, Li Haotian stood on the top and spoke majestically, "There are a total of twenty-four of you here, first of all, I want to congratulate you on successfully passing the selection and training of foreign sects. ”
"Thank you, boss. ”
Standing in the central square, they are all disciples who have successfully found Ziyunshi in their training, and they can be described as the elite of the elite in the outer sect, and after Li Haotian said that, these disciples all spoke in unison.
Behind Li Haotian, the two elders looked at their respective disciples, their eyes both intentionally or unintentionally resting on the person who was favored by them, and their eyes were full of smugness.
Xu Dongqing didn't even glance at the other disciples of the Eastern Courtyard, and always kept his eyes on Wang Yong.
Nangong Liuyun's South Courtyard is relatively deserted, not as prosperous as Ding Xingwang, the people in the East Courtyard, after Li Qing died, the disciples of the outer sect of the Southern Courtyard were left with Chen Man's lone seedling, he just wanted to see that other people had nothing to look at.
After pondering some words, Li Haotian then spoke, "There are twelve protective holy pillars in the central square, and one of these twelve holy pillars will have a sense of you. ”
"Now all meditate cross-legged, run my refining sect's unique method of accepting qi, carefully feel the summoning from the holy pillar, and if you are inspired, you can go to the holy pillar that summoned you first. ”
Seeing that everyone sat down on the spot when they heard the words and began to take gas, although Chen Man was a little unsure, he quickly did so.
After closing his eyes, Chen Man felt that everything around him seemed to be isolated from the world, or rather from himself, as if there were only twelve holy pillars and twenty-three vague figures left in the world.
At this moment, Chen Man's body seemed to be able to feel the wind of the earth and the clouds of the sky, and he seemed to have a different harvest in this central square, as if he was integrated with heaven and earth.
The holy pillars around them all exuded a treasure light that Chen Man had never seen before, and the twenty-three fellow disciples were also under the illumination of this treasure light, and their bodies became hazy and blurred.
In the eyes of others, the same is probably the case, Chen Man thought in his heart, and the aura began to boil and tumble in the sea of qi, waiting for the call from the holy pillar.
On Bayun Mountain, time passed with the breeze, and the disciples and miscellaneous servants on the periphery of the square were already talking at the moment, but their voices could not impress the twenty-four people on the field.
In Chen Man's senses, some of the other twenty-three people had already gotten up and walked out, finally staying under a certain holy pillar, and then disappeared into their own world.
Slowly, more and more people stood up, and finally the twelve holy pillars all issued a summon to a certain disciple of the outer sect, and the few had one person to pass, and the most had two.
Now there are only six people left in the square, including Chen Man, and the remaining five Chen Man doesn't know who they are, but from their bodies, Chen Man has felt the aura of danger.
"Master, look at this ・・・・・・" Nangong Liuyun looked at the six people on the field who were still meditating with their eyes closed, and looked a little surprised.
Li Haotian also raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the gap between these six people and other senior brothers is quite big, and it is really not easy for my refining sect to have so many rising stars." ”
The two of them were talking to each other, and no one noticed that Xu Dongqing behind him was staring at Chen Man who was meditating cross-legged in the square, and the dissatisfaction on his face was sharp.
An hour later, only two of the six people got up, walked to the two holy pillars respectively, and disappeared into Chen Man's world.
Now in the eyes of outsiders, the four people left in the central square are Wang Yong, Xia Cheng, Yuwen Haoran and ・・・・・・ Chen Man!
