Volume 5: The First Song Three Hundred and Twenty: The Test of Clarity and Grace (3)
In the cheers of everyone, Liang Baike walked out of the ring.
He didn't see it when he took the stage, but when he got off the stage, he saw the five people sitting in the front row at a glance, and after being slightly stunned, he came over to say hello.
Liang Baike's cultivation over the years can be said to be unintentional and hardworking, he has made a lot of hard work, although he has not had any news in Mu Xiufeng, only blindly cultivated, but he has heard everything about Qian Chao and several people, and he thinks that now that he has broken through the small five levels, he can at least catch up with Qian Chao in terms of cultivation, but when he saw it today, he found that these five people were already cultivators of the sixth level of qi refining, and he was actually one step slower.
"Senior Brother Qian......" Liang Baike saluted.
According to the rules of the sect, monks of the same level respect the cultivation as high, so Liang Baike called Qian Chao so.
Qian Chao said:
"Brother Liang doesn't have to be like this, we all came from Youming Valley together, we don't have to be so born, let's grow up in the order of the year, I call you Brother Liang, you call me Brother Qian, this is the best."
Liang Baike said:
"Okay, Brother Qian, well, Brother Li, Brother Lu, Miss Tang, Miss Yan, although they are all in the sect, we haven't seen each other for many years."
æįŽ says:
"Yes, I am also in Muxiufeng, and I have been delaying my cultivation, but I don't know that Brother Liang has broken through the small five levels, which is gratifying."
Tang Ping said on the side:
"Hey, Brother Liang, you are really impressive, you caused me to lose the spirit stone!"
Lu Pingchuan also said:
"Well, that's right, and I lost my share."
Yan Xuan smiled:
"Who told you not to listen to Brother Li's advice, you must buy Bai Tusheng......
Many disciples in the audience just looked at Liang Baike, who had just helped them win the spirit stone, just take a second look, and there will be a competition next, so they will naturally continue to pay attention to the outcome of the next game, but in a corner of this black and boundless crowd, there is a pair of eyes that are extremely complicated to look at Liang Baike and Qian Chao and the five people laughing together, and that person's heart is even more mixed.
That person was none other than Qin Sui and Qin Gongzi.
Chengguan En's test is such a big event, even if it is impossible to participate in Qin Suiyi's cultivation, but after all, he can't hold back his curiosity and come to see the excitement, and the first exciting competition in the first day is Liang Baike against a child of a family, and Liang Baike also won very beautifully.
Seeing this, Qin Gongzi's heart was quite emotional.
Once upon a time, this Liang Baike was a small follower behind him, but after being beaten by Qian Chao on the bronze carriage, he refused to help himself, so he also asked people to threaten Liang Baike in Youming Valley and tossed him very badly, but it was also at that time that Qin Suixu first met Liang Baike's toughness, and he just didn't want to be with him anymore. Later, it was Qian Chao and the kid surnamed Lu who saved Liang Baike. Now look at Liang Baike, and then look at yourself, the once stupid boy has now broken through the small five levels and become a Mu Xiufeng Qi refining mid-level sword cultivator, the future is promising, and he has just refined the third layer of qi, and he has to refine the "Double Sheng Dan" for those gentlemen every day to please them, alas, the world is so impermanent!
After seeing Liang Baike, Qin Suixu set his eyes on Tang Ping again, far away, Qin Suixu naturally didn't know what those people were talking about, so he saw that Tang Ping didn't know what to say, which made Liang Baike look up to the sky and laugh, and Yan Xuan next to her pulled Tang Ping's sleeve while laughing, looking at Tang Ping's pretty face, Qin Suixu was worried again, he threaded the needle for Tian Du and Jing Ji, originally thought that the plot of the two was only aimed at Qian Chao alone, but later I learned that if they really got it, then Tang Ping would also ...... Hateful ...... I am really powerless now!
Qin Suiyi has already begun to regret it, it seems that it is better to ask for anyone than to ask for himself, when he can't do anything, he can only watch others take away what he wants, alas......
Relying on others is unreliable after all, should you change your own way in the future?
Qin Suixu began to think about this question for the first time.
âĻâĻ
After greeting and laughing for a while, Liang Baike took his leave.
Although Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan both lost the spirit stones, after all, Li Jian and Qian Chao both bought Liang Bai Kesheng, these two people made a small profit, Tang Ping went to redeem the winning spirit stones for these two people, but before she went to exchange the spirit stones, there was also a competition that made Tang Ping a little moved, hesitating and not knowing who to buy.
Under the ring of jade bluestone, on the big wooden plaque facing many disciples, the name that ranked first in the third row was also a person they once knew, of course, it was just an acquaintance, the five of them had never spoken to this person in Youming Valley, not only that, but Li Jian was almost killed by something that this person brought into Youming Valley once.
This person is none other than Wu Ruiyuan.
The most profound memory of the five of them about Wu Ruiyuan was when they were having dinner in Chunxiang Hall, Shen Weixuan suddenly burst out and beat Qin Suiyuan, the pair of sisters stood side by side in the panicked crowd and watched indifferently Qin Suixuan being wantonly beaten by Shen Wei, miserable, the matter of Youminggu has been a long time, and even Qian Chao can't tell which of the two equally charming faces in his memory is his sister Wu Ruishan, and which one is his sister Wu Ruiyuan.
The two sisters had all passed the refining body at that time, and on the giant boat that had entered the Five Spirit Sect from the Valley of Youming, all five of them had seen the pair of sisters.
However, similar to Liang Baike, the two sisters have not been heard from since they entered the Five Spirits Sect, and if it weren't for the fact that they saw her name on the Chengguan En test today, the five of them would have forgotten the two sisters.
And the person who is going to fight with Wu Ruiyuan on stage, the five of them also know each other, and Qian Chao has also fought with that person, and it is a coincidence that Wu Ruiyuan's opponent is named Wei Bei.
Wei Bei, the son of the Wei family in Nan'an Prefecture, when Qian Chao won ten games in a row, this person was the seventh to come out to challenge Qian Chao, and he was good at manipulating an astonishing number of spirit swords at the same time.
In front of Qian Chao, Wei Bei's method is nothing, it can only be said to be a small thing, but if Wei Bei and Wu Ruiyuan are opposed, then what means does Wu Ruiyuan have?
The five of them didn't know anything about Wu Ruiyuan's origins.
Qian Chao commented from memory:
"Although Wei Bei's methods are good, they are too fancy, a little flashy, of course, he is likely to make progress again within this year, but Wu Ruiyuan was originally inconspicuous among the people who came with us in Youming Valley, except for her appearance, there is no more attention-grabbing place, after so many years, we don't even know which sect she went to in the sect, I didn't expect her to break through the small five levels, I think there must be something extraordinary, if you really want to bet on them, I suggest you buy Wu Ruiyuan to win."
Tang Ping said curiously:
"Are you so optimistic about Wei Bei, I saw him fighting with you back and forth?"
"It's because I've played against him that I know...... Well...... I know the details of Wei Bei a year ago, a year is not a long time, but I don't know anything about Wu Ruiyuan, anyway, it's a gamble, I'm not optimistic about Wei Bei, let's choose Wu Ruiyuan. â
Tang Ping thought for a while and said:
"Okay, then I'll listen to you this time."
After speaking, she and Lu Pingchuan rushed to bet again.
But when the two of them returned, they brought back one more person, none other than Shang Jie, who had returned from outside the sect.
Shang Jie originally wanted to dig out the spirit stone to buy a few bets, but when he finally squeezed over, he saw Tang Ping who was placing a bet, so he hurried over to talk to her, and then he was brought over.
"Senior Brother Shang!" Qian Chao was very surprised.
Shang Jie directly leaned into Qian Chao's ear and whispered, and Qian Chao's face also changed.
"Only one person?" Qian Chao asked in surprise.
"There is only one, we waited for half an hour, neither did anyone come out, nor did anyone go in again, and there was no movement around, and I was worried that the kid who went in would run away, so I used the talisman you gave."
"Well, it's okay," Qian Chao nodded and said, "Senior Brother Shang has worked hard, and he has finally gained something, so don't bother there, if there is any trouble in the future, Senior Brother Shang's place may have to ......."
"Eh, what's polite, if it works for me, just open your mouth."
"Thank you very much."
After the merchant left, he went straight to the most lively place to bet, and Tang Ping asked quietly:
"There's movement in the cold pool?"
"Yes," Qian Chao motioned for a few companions to come over, "The cold pool has been sealed by Senior Brother Shang Jie, but there is only one Hua Cheng locked inside." â
"Why is there only one person," Li Jian said, "didn't the guy who has been following him follow up?" â
"No, Shang Jie launched the formation half an hour after Hua Cheng entered the cold water pool, if Jiang Zhuopu was also following behind at that time, he would have followed up before ......," Qian Chao said.
"Is it possible......" Tang Ping said, "It was Jiang Zhuopu who discovered Senior Brother Shang and they were hiding there, so he didn't dare to follow up?" â
"There is this possibility, but there is another possibility, among the people in the sect who know that Wen Liang is hiding in the cold water pool, someone may have guessed our purpose and secretly revealed the information to Jiang Zhuopu."
"Who could it be?" Yan Xuan said.
"I can't see it clearly, well, his tail will definitely be able to show after a while, by the way, Tang girl, this matter must be told to Senior Tang when I turn around."
"Well, I understand."
What must be said here is that the scene of Shang Jie coming to Qian Chao to speak was also seen by others, almost at the back of the crowd, Zhang Yi, who was watching the excitement from a distance, gently gestured to Jiang Zhuopu beside him, and said:
"Oh, look over there, now you know who set up the cold pool?"
Jiang Zhuopu stared at Qian Chao, who was talking to the merchants, and asked:
"Who's that guy?"
"That person is Qian Chao."
âĻâĻ
The competition continues.
The next few games are also not exciting, Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan also won and lost.
Finally, when a slender figure in a light pink dress walked to the ring, it attracted the attention of many disciples.
"Wu Ruiyuan." Tang Ping looked at the figure and said, "I have inquired with those who opened the market and sat in the bank, Qian boy, she is your disciple of Jiuxuan." â
"Oh, disciple Jiuxuan, what about her...... It must not be a refiner. â
Qian Chao said this because he had never seen this woman in Chengqi Hall, and she was not a refiner, so she must have learned the Five Elements Spell.
"I heard that her sister Wu Ruishan has also broken through the small five levels, it seems that she is still from our Imperial Spirit Sect." Tang Ping said again.
These two sisters actually broke through the small five levels, which made Qian Chao can't help but think of Shen Wei, I don't know what happened to Shen Gongzi, who had been entangled with these two sisters, and there has been no news of him for a long time.
After Wu Ruiyuan stepped into the ring, the audience was much quieter, and when she walked over just now, Qian Chao and the others only saw her back, and now they can see Wu Ruiyuan's current face clearly.
is really an out-and-out beauty, although it is not stunning, but Wu Ruiyuan's figure over the years is slender and delicate, slim and graceful, this woman's appearance was originally charming and moving, perhaps for today's competition, she did not apply powder, only appeared on stage with plain noodles, but it seems that this woman has a kind of water hibiscus-like charm, which attracted all the disciples in the audience to watch and talk non-stop.
When Wei Bei took the stage, there was no change from when he challenged the money tide a year ago, he was still a tall and thin figure, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, looking calm and introverted.
He must have known in advance that his opponent was a woman, and he seemed to be a little reluctant when he walked on stage, but after standing on the stage, he found that the opponent was actually a fake beauty, and he glanced at Wu Ruiyuan on the opposite side a few times before he saluted:
"Today, I am fortunate to be able to learn Miss Wu's methods."
Wu Ruiyuan said:
"Don't dare to be, I have to ask Wei Gongzi's subordinates to be merciful during the competition."
Then the host of the audience loudly announced:
"The competition begins!"
"Miss Wu, please."
"Wei Gongzi, please."
"Then offend!"
Wei Bei was no longer humble, his fingers had just done the trick in his big sleeve, and then a shiny, cold and shining spirit sword roared and stabbed straight towards Wu Ruiyuan.
Almost at the same time as Wei Bei, with the movement of Wu Ruiyuan's onion-like fingers, there was also a cold and shining spirit sword that collided with the spirit sword shot by Wei Bei.
There was a "ding", and the two swords collided and bounced off each other.
Well, even if Wu Ruiyuan is not a refiner, it is normal to have a few spiritual weapons on his body.
Both sides were clearly testing each other at the beginning.
And the next thing is still a temptation, Wei Bei still only uses a spirit sword to attack frequently, and Wu Ruiyuan only uses a spirit sword to meet him, but it seems to be equal.
After the temptation, Wei Bei seemed to feel that he had touched the bottom of the woman opposite, he had lost to Qian Chao a year ago, but how many Qian Chao could there be in the entire Five Spirit Sect? Thinking that she must be the most ordinary monk's path, there are a few magic techniques supplemented by spiritual weapons, most of the monks in the cultivation world are like this, thinking of this, Wei Bei was ready to end this reluctant competition earlier, as his body was pulled, his hands were put together and the ten fingers were dazzling hand changes, and a sword roar sounded around him, and at the same time, there was a spirit sword overflowing with cold light, which was trembling and aggressively aimed at the light pink slender figure in front and below.
With the change of Wei Bei's technique, everyone in the audience was stunned one by one, the spirit swords accumulated on his side have reached dozens of and are still increasing, in the Five Spirit Sect, everyone has heard that the only one who can manipulate so many spirit swords at the same time seems to be Qian Chao, naturally some people in the audience still remember the battle between Qian Chao and Wei Bei a year ago, it was really dazzling, but after all, it was a year ago, and not everyone looked at it, now look at Wei Bei's methods a year later, The crowd was still stunned.
And Qian Chao looked at this scene and felt a little pity, compared to the last time he fought with him, the number of spirit swords that Wei Bei could manipulate may have increased a lot, but in his opinion, this Wei Bei's way has gone a little off, it seems that this person blindly pursues the number of spirit swords he can control, which does seem very bluffing, but the actual use can't be said to be no, but when he encounters someone who is flexible, he can crack his method.
In the face of the many spirit swords in the air that were ready to attack her, Wu Ruiyuan's slender figure did not move at all, but at this time, the hem of her dress and the waterlike hair on the back of her head had begun to swing slightly.
"Be careful" With Wei Bei's soft shout in the air, the sword roared, and one spirit sword after another flew from his side like a school of fish towards Wu Ruiyuan below.
According to Wei Bei's thoughts, such a blow could almost force that good-looking woman off the stage.
Staring at the countless shining cold lights in the air, Wu Ruiyuan's hands had already been intertwined, and under the continuous change of ten fingers, when the countless flying swords that were constantly roaring were about to stab, she stomped on her embroidered shoes at the same time, and the stage suddenly roared, and a violent tornado instantly surrounded her figure in the center, and the disciples in the audience looked over and saw that the light pink figure was blurred in the rapid rotation of the wind.
And this is also the time when all of Wei Bei's spirit swords collide together.
Obviously, the wind is stronger than the sword.
Wei Bei's spirit sword Danfan immediately lost its original momentum after crashing into the violently rotating tornado, and even said that Wei Bei almost lost the control of his spirit sword, and the sword that crashed into the wind was like a boat falling into the maelstrom of the sea storm, and it instantly couldn't help itself and drifted with the current, around Wu Ruiyuan's body was originally a vague wind wall, but as the number of spirit swords that were swept in, all the swords were wrapped in the wind and rotated at high speed around her figure, Originally, her slender figure could still be vaguely seen in the audience, but now she can only glimpse the light powder in the gap between the rotation of the spirit sword.
Qian Chao shook his head and said softly:
"Wei Bei is defeated."
"Can't it be so fast, is it?" Tang Ping said beside him.
Qian Chao said again:
"Wei Bei's methods are too simple, he must not be Wu Ruiyuan's opponent."
"Hehe, it's okay, anyway, we bought the mother-in-law surnamed Wu this time." Lu Pingchuan said.
As if the aura was unsustainable, the tornado whirlwind around Wu Ruiyuan's body gradually weakened, taking this opportunity Wei Bei had the opportunity to regain his many spirit swords, just now his many spirit swords fell into the other party's gale and were uncontrollable, which really scared this Wei Gongzi, but at the same time, as Qian Chao said, his means are too single, so to speak, in the qi refining stage, well, it is still before and after breaking through the small five levels, this means is indeed good, but if you keep holding on to such a means and have to go all the way to the black, Unless he can have the talent of multitasking like Qian Chao, but Wei Gongzi obviously does not have such an endowment, he is just an ordinary monk who is willing to work this means, so he is forced to walk this road, manpower is sometimes poor, he will definitely not be able to go down this road, if it does not work, the future of this Wei Gongzi is worrying.
His spirit sword was completely under his control, and Wei Gongzi's heart suddenly increased a little confidence, in his opinion, the gale caused by Wu Ruiyuan just now must be a spell that consumed a lot of spiritual energy, otherwise, how could she easily let go of her spirit sword, so it seems...... Here's a chance!
Thinking of this, Wei Gongzi simply summoned the only remaining spirit sword on his body, and he wanted to deal with this woman with the means to reach his limit, so as to succeed in the next blow and win this competition.
The sound of swords in the air began again.
Counting the many extra spirit swords around Wei Bei, Qian Chao shook his head and said to Tang Ping:
"It's time to get ready to get the spirit stone."
Tang Ping nodded, but even if Qian Chao said so, she always had to see how this Wei Bei would lose this competition.
In the air on the stage, the cold light gathered, and hundreds of spirit swords trembled and hung high, and the sharp edge of the sword tip pointed to the light pink slender figure.
All the crowd watching the battle in the audience were dumbfounded, wanting to see what this Wei Gongzi would do next.
After finishing the battle, Wei Bei said silently in his heart, and then launched the final offensive!
On the stage, the stars fell to the ground like a daytime, and the whistling sound was intensive!
Between the lightning and the fire, I saw that Wu Ruiyuan didn't know what means she used, and after a coquettish sound, there was a soft sound of "boom", and a thick white cold mist suddenly gathered around her body, completely covering her figure at once.
And when the white mist was filled, it was when the dense spirit sword fell and stabbed, and all the cold light rushed into the dense fog one by one!
There was no exclamation, no wind howling, only a dense "clattering" sound came from the thick fog.
Immediately, the dense fog shrank, not dissipating, but gathering towards the center, and at the same time, bursts of cold air flowed down from the stage like flowing water, and white smoke erupted from their mouths and noses when the five spirit disciples who were close to breathed.
Finally, the white fog was gone, which could be regarded as the dust had settled, and when Wu Ruiyuan's methods appeared in front of people's eyes, everyone couldn't help but praise them secretly, and some people even suddenly realized that Wu Ruiyuan's methods were extremely ingenious.
On the platform, there was a huge block of ice that was two stories high, which was supposed to be a crystal clear piece of ice, but because of the countless spirit swords frozen in it, it seemed to be extremely chaotic inside, well, like a school of frozen fish in the glacier.
Although Wu Ruiyuan's methods trapped Wei Bei's spirit sword just now, she couldn't use her hands and feet in the strong wind, and now Wei Bei's sword was frozen in the ice, no matter how he used those swords, he couldn't break free from the ice, and Wu Ruiyuan stood next to the ice cube, still calmly looking at Wei Bei who was stunned in the air.
What Qian Chao said was not bad at all, don't look at the many spirit swords that Wei Bei can control, but he only has this one means, and now his means are all frozen by Wu Ruiyuan, and it is a helpless situation.
Wu Ruiyuan stretched out a hand and aimed at Wei Bei, who was thrown in the air in a daze, the electric spark between the index, the middle, the ring and the little finger was entwined and buzzed, and the flashing white light was lingering in front of her hand, and she said to Wei Bei calmly:
"Wei Gongzi, what do you say?"
The implication is that if she doesn't admit defeat, then she will go on the offensive.
After several changes in his face, he was finally defeated, and Wei Bei fell on the stage and arched his hand to Wu Ruiyuan:
"Miss Wu is clever, she can't get down, she is defeated."
"I conceded."
Immediately, a voice in the audience said loudly:
"In this game, Jiuxuan Wu Ruiyuan won."
Suddenly, everyone watching the battle became lively.
When Tang Ping stood up, he said to Qian Chao:
"Well, you still have a vision, I saw it just now, I won a lot by buying Wei Bei, and Wu Ruiyuan's odds are higher, ha, I earned it!"
When Tang Ping got up and went with Lu Pingchuan to get the spirit stone that she had won, Wu Ruiyuan also saw it, she naturally recognized Tang Ping, and at the same time recognized a few people in Qian Chao there, but she had no contact with these people in Youming Valley, so she didn't come forward to talk.
(Here the author wants to explain, including Liang Baike, plus a Wu Ruiyuan who has appeared, and a Wu Ruishan, all of whom have not appeared in the story for a long time, but in the future, after Qian Chao and a few people build the foundation, these people will also appear, and they also have their own plots, in order to avoid their abruptness when they appear, so they are arranged to show their faces here, and at the same time, they will also make a foreshadowing of their respective means in advance, and please continue to pay attention to the story behind, thank you.) īŧ
There were no five people in the competition on the first day of the Chengguan Grace Test, so today they were just watching the excitement, and the competition lasted until the sun shadow was slanting westward, and the red glow was full of sky, and several foundation building disciples who were in charge of presiding over the stage took the stage and loudly announced that today's competition was over, and after the clouds continued tomorrow, all the five spirit disciples who watched the battle were extremely noisy and dispersed, like a low tide, and those who won the competition or won the spirit stone were all elated.
However, Qian Chao and the others did not return to their residences, but went to his courtyard with Qian Chao.
After pushing the door in, there were already two people sitting in Qian Chao's room, Xu Sheng, and the other was Tang Ping's eldest brother Hang Hao. After the door was closed, Xu Sheng and Hang Hao informed Qian Chao and the others of the news that came in Zongwai Town one by one.
Then after a secret conversation, the two left, Tang Ping, Yan Xuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan also returned, but Qian Chao quietly came to Tian Zhi'an's predecessor's cave to find Ma Hu.
After talking for a while, Ma Hu quietly went out, Qian Chao stayed in Ma Hu's residence and waited, after a while, someone came to Ma Hu silently through the night, and after a closed door conversation, it was already a starry sky, and Qian Chao said goodbye to everyone.
Such a toss made Qian Chao a little tired, and he could finally go back to his residence to rest, but when Qian Chao pushed the door open, he found that there was another person sitting in the room, Qian Chao didn't know that person, but he could clearly feel that the person in the room was a monk who was a monk, which made him nervous.
"Money tide?" The man asked first.
"It's the junior, the senior......" Qian Chao asked cautiously.
"It's in the middle of it." The man said lightly.
Bai Gan, the elder of Bibotan in the Shuiyun Valley in the sect, and he is ...... Bai Lin's father!
What did he come to do?
"I've seen Elder Bai!" Qian Chao hurriedly saluted.
"Come in and talk."
"Yes."
Qian Chao stepped in with one foot still outside the door, and then closed the door.
