Volume 5: The First Song 331: The Test of Grace (14)
Today is the fourth day of the Chengguan En test, the competition is far from starting, Tianshui Lake is still full of early morning coolness, Qian Chao and Tang Ping five people came to Chengguan downstairs early, after all, only early can you grab a good position close to the ring, and you can see the competition in the ring more clearly.
Qian Chao came the earliest today, and then Tang Ping and Yan Xuan came hand in hand, but Tang Ping's expression today was a little different in Qian Chao's eyes, this girl seemed to be holding a breath with someone, so she asked:
"Tang girl, what's wrong with you today, you seem to be a little unhappy?"
As a result, before Tang Ping could speak, Yan Xuan laughed first and said first:
"Ha, Ah Ping has an extra elder in the sect who is not very old......
"Sister Yan......"
"Oh, what's the matter, did your Tang family also send someone to participate in this Chengguan En test? Is the person who came higher than you? "Qian Chao is obviously wrong.
"Eh, it's not ......"
So Tang Ping wrinkled his face and told the story of meeting Bai Shen in Tang Bonian's cave mansion last night and Tang Bonian's intention to accept Bai Shen as an apprentice.
"That'...... Senior Tang accepted apprentices, why are you unhappy? Qian Chao was still a little confused.
Yan Xuan smiled on the side:
"Brother Qian, you may not know that the temperament of the girl is almost the same as that of Ah Ping, and she has such a powerful little mouth, think about it, when did Ah Ping lose in a quarrel with someone in the past, but last night in the cave of Senior Tang, she didn't take advantage of Bai Shen, ha, so Ah Ping is still indignant......"
"Hmph, that little girl, it's very hateful......" Tang Ping said hatefully.
Just as Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan arrived, as soon as they sat down, Lu Pingchuan said excitedly:
"Eh, Sister Tang, it's time for the two of us to compete on stage today."
唐萍 says:
"Well, I heard my master say it last night."
Lu Pingchuan continued:
"My opponent is Senior Brother Ping, Sister Tang, who is your opponent?"
"It's Senior Brother Wei Di who is sent by our Imperial Spirit to Wan You's predecessors."
Yan Xuan interjected and asked:
"Are these two easy to deal with?"
"Eh, hehe, it's not easy to deal with," Lu Pingchuan said with a smile, "If it's easy to deal with, it's the kind of character that can be knocked down with a few fists, and it's impossible for someone's master to bet with my master." At first, I was worried that I would meet Fang Yang and Fang Han's two senior sisters on stage, but later I learned that it was Senior Brother Ping, I thought I could win steadily, but later I inquired and learned that Senior Brother Ping was also very powerful, it is said that he was only under the two senior sisters of Fang Yang and Fang Han in the Houtu Temple, it seems that I have to sell my strength well today, but I can't let the master and his old man lose. ”
唐萍 says:
"The Senior Brother Wei Huang who wants to fight with me is also very powerful, some of the Qi refining disciples of the Water Cloud Valley Imperial Spirit Sect say that Shangguan Hong's methods are the most powerful, and some people think that this Senior Brother Wei Huang is the most powerful, after all, Shangguan Hong has been expelled from the sect, and Senior Brother Wei Huang has been practicing in the sect in those years, so his strength has surpassed Shangguan, I only knew last night that I was going to fight against such a powerful person, and the master also said that these were all arranged by my sixth grandfather, so I had to go to the old man to settle the account, As a result, I met that little girl from Bai Shen there! ”
After the five people talked for a while, there were more and more people, and then the big wooden sign that said the ranking of today's competition disciples was moved out again, and everyone looked for it on it, and sure enough, they saw the names of Tang Ping and Lu Pingchuan, Tang Ping was in front, and Lu Pingchuan was behind, but there was still no name of Yan Xuan, and it seemed that there was no chance for Yan Xuan to appear on stage today.
……
Upstairs in Chengguan, Fairy Gu Hou sat in front of the window and looked at the booklet in her hand, and after reading Tang Bonian for a while, she went upstairs and sat down opposite her.
Fairy Gu Yu frowned and asked:
"I only found out yesterday that the opponent you arranged for Ping Yatou was Xiang Wanyou's disciple, are you really not worried that your granddaughter will have a flash on the stage and be defeated?"
Xiang Wanyou, the elder of the Shuiyun Valley Imperial Spirit Sect, it is said that this Elder Xiang is only ranked below Qiu Huaqi and Gu Yu Fairy in the Imperial Spirit Sect, but it is unknown whether his means are really under these two people, Elder Xiang has lived in seclusion for many years, in addition to practice, he is concentrating on teaching his own disciples, he has many disciples, and all of them can be called talents, he is a very low-key and not to be underestimated in the Five Spirits Sect, and I don't know what method Tang Bonian used to make him agree to send disciples to the stage to compete with Tang Ping.
"It doesn't matter if you lose, even if you win, this time you have to make it difficult for that girl to win, you think about it, what the five of them have encountered in the past few years, or they are well prepared, or they are a few luck, at most, they can only be regarded as frightening, and the journey is smooth, it is not a good thing to go too smoothly, it is not a good thing to suffer a loss, it is not a good thing to lose as soon as possible, it is nothing to fail once in the ring, let them remember it for a long time, it is much better than putting it outside and suffering again in the future, right?"
Just when Gu Yu was now noncommittal to Tang Bonian's words, Kang Pu's loud voice suddenly sounded on the Chengguan Tower:
"Eh, surnamed Lu, you came early, hurry up, let me see, have you brought something, if you want me to say, anyway, you will lose in a while, it's better to give it to me now and go back, so as not to be ugly when you get it......"
Immediately another loud voice also spoke:
"How can there be this reason, hmph, why should your apprentice be able to win, don't say that I didn't bring anything, but you, your senior brother Kang has always been able to win and not lose, as long as you lose, you will die and not admit it, this is not once or twice, if you want me to say that we put everything in the hands of a trustworthy person, when the disciples compete to divide the winner, that thing will all belong to the person who won, lest you run away early when you get it, and when you want to find you, you will start to retreat."
These words made Chengguan upstairs laugh, but where would the Kang Pu seniors care about this, and continued:
"Hehe, you've thought about it enough, since you said it, or that's the case, ah, the respected Elder Tang Bonian of Bibotan is there, or let's all put things there with him, and only those who win back can go to him to ask for it, how about it?"
I didn't know that the other party didn't buy it at all, and said:
"Phew, come less, who doesn't know that you Kang Pu and Tang Bonian are the same nostrils, you two good ones are about to wear a pair of pants, if I really give him something, hehe, I'm afraid even if you win, you won't be able to get it, and in the end it will be cheaper for him, no......"
These words made another burst of laughter in the Chengguan Building, and it also made Tang Bonian so angry that he didn't know what to say, he didn't expect that he would have such an unwarranted disaster, Gu Hou Fairy couldn't help but smile and asked:
"You should also tell me what kind of bet you made with Xiang Wanyou, right? Don't forget, I'm a master, and if you win, you'll have to share at least half of my ......."
"Ah, you want half of ...... too"
……
Before the competition began, the gentlemen had already gathered in one place, and Zong Fang got a booklet, which was the order of the names of the people in today's competition, Lou Qingyao was holding it in her hand and looking at it carefully, and soon she looked at Zong Fang and asked:
"Who is this Wei Di, is he very powerful?"
In that booklet, it was clearly written that the person who competed with Tang Ping was Wei Di.
Without waiting for Zong Fang to answer, Feng You deliberately said attentively:
"This Wei Di is a disciple of Elder Xiang of the Shuiyun Valley Imperial Spirit Sect, I heard that among the Qi refining disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect, he is either ranked first or second, if he is ranked second, then the first place should be Shangguan Hong."
宗飨 says:
"Yes, there is such a saying."
Feng You mentioned Shangguan Hong, Lou Qingyao remembered that he was the first in Wulingzong to lose under Shangguan Hong, and then today there was Tang Ping's stage competition, and her second failure was defeat in Tang Ping's hands, that defeat was still ugly, after arriving at Wulingzong, Lou Qingyao and others fought twice and lost, which greatly hit her confidence, for today's Tang Ping's competition, she was a little hopeful that Tang Ping could win, if Tang Ping lost, it can only show that Lou Qingyao, who has always regarded himself very highly, is really not ranked in Wulingzong.
Lou Qingyao asked:
"Then Wei Du's methods are very clever?"
Feng You stared at Lou Qingyao greedily and hurriedly said:
"That's it, there are only a few disciples in the Imperial Spirit Sect, but his master is said to be a very powerful figure."
Lou Qingyao looked at Feng You with some disgust, subconsciously shrunk back and stopped talking.
Jing Jian was not interested in such a conversation at all, he already knew that not only Tang Ping was on stage today, but also Lu Pingchuan, so he had to take a good look at it today and fully estimate the strength of these five people.
……
The competition has begun.
Because there is his own competition today, and the opponent is not weak, Tang Ping, who is bottomless and uneasy, doesn't even have the heart to bet, Qian Chao saw it, and when Tang Ping's competition was approaching, he got up and left.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Tang Ping asked puzzled.
"Place your bets, it's almost time for you to appear."
"Who do you buy to win?"
"Of course it's to buy you and Brother Lu to win, hey, I have to make a big bet, you can't let me lose the spirit stone......"
"Hehe, let's go, I'll go too, go buy and I'll win for myself." Lu Pingchuan didn't have Tang Ping's apprehension at all, and when he heard Qian Chao say this, he immediately became interested.
Li Jian and Yan Xuan also joined in, and took out the bag containing the spirit stone and asked Qian Chao to buy it for him.
At this time, Tang Ping also turned his heart sideways, Huo Ran got up and said:
"Let's go, I'll go too, buy all the spirit stones and win for myself."
As a result, Tang Ping was angry again in the people who bet, she found that her odds were much higher than Wei Huang's in the competition with Wei Huang, that is to say, in the eyes of these people who sat in the bank, she had little hope of defeating Wei Huang, and most of them invested in Wei Huang's body, and there were very few people who gambled on themselves to win with spirit stones, so Tang Ping's face was difficult to see.
"Isn't this just an opportunity?"
Qian Chao saw the change in her face, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Tang Ping, who was about to have a seizure, and then took out a storage bag and threw it on the bookkeeper's table, saying:
"Ah, help me remember, Tang Ping's competition against Wei Huang, I bought Tang Ping to win!"
The man put down the pen and opened Qian Chao's storage bag, and his face suddenly changed, Qian Chao's current net worth is far above that of ordinary disciples, and ordinary disciples bet on throwing dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones to be considered a big deal, and Qian Chao's bag of spirit stones is too much, fortunately, the bookkeeper knows Qian Chao, so he said with a smile:
"Hehe, Senior Brother Qian, you ...... Isn't it too much, or ...... Do you think about it again? ”
"Snap", Tang Ping had already slapped a storage bag on the man's desktop, glared and said:
"What to consider, this is mine, buy it all and win it myself!"
……
"In the next game, Tang Ping of the Water Cloud Valley Imperial Spirit Sect will face Wei Huang of the Water Cloud Valley Imperial Spirit Sect!"
Tang Ping turned her heart sideways, got up and first showed the foundation building monk his master jade pendant, confirmed her identity, and then walked into the ring.
This is also a competition that all the disciples are waiting for today.
Everyone has seen Qian Chao vs. Bai Lin, and they have also seen Li Jian vs. Yun Xi, but those two games are actually not very enjoyable for the disciples watching the battle in the audience, Qian Chao won that game too easily, Li Jian's game was wonderful, but in the end, how Li Jian won Most people didn't understand, in short, Li Jian cut off a hairpin on the head of the stunned Yun Xi with a sword, and then Yun Xi began to go crazy, at that time people thought that they would continue to compete, but they were stopped by Mu Xiufeng's Elder Jiedan, Then Li Jian won.
Let's see how Tang Ping performed today, after all, Tang Ping is also a very famous woman in the sect, and I heard that this woman is very spicy and bold, and she also got the nickname of "Little Yasha".
Tang Ping took the stage first, and then it was her opponent today, Wei Du.
Wei Di, the eighth layer of qi refining, well, this is probably the reason why those who are sitting in the bank are not optimistic about Tang Ping, after all, Tang Ping's cultivation of the sixth layer of qi refining just now is really not very good-looking in front of him. This person is dressed in a green robe, not very tall, not fat or thin, his appearance is not eye-catching, what attracts attention is his forehead, which is very broad, under the forehead, under the thick eyebrows, a pair of eyes are shining.
"The competition begins!" The audience announced loudly.
Everyone's noisy chatter suddenly disappeared, and the scene fell silent.
Tang Ping sighed and said to Wei Di:
"Senior Brother Wei, you are a senior brother of the eighth layer of qi refining, and you are bullying me a little junior sister of the sixth layer of qi refining, are you embarrassed?"
Wei Di smiled and said:
"It's hard to disobey the teacher's fate, I have to do it in the next, besides, Senior Sister Tang is famous, relying not on cultivation, but on resourceful means, Senior Sister Tang is full of wisdom and clever means, I have heard of it a long time ago, although today's competition is arranged by the elders, it is also in line with the mind of the next, start your hands, and you will definitely go all out in the next."
"So you're not going to show mercy?"
"Hehe, Senior Sister Tang, it's useless to talk more, please!"
Wei Di didn't make a move after his words fell, but waited for Tang Ping to make a move first.
In the flashing of the lake-blue figure, Tang Ping had already flown upward, and the ten white fingers on her hands were intertwined and changed, and as her body stopped in the air, Tang Ping's hand trick was aimed at Wei Huang in front and below......
First of all, the cold wind blew, raising Wei Du's head, which made Wei Di feel that his body was cold all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but shiver from the cold, Wei Di was a little surprised in the cold wind, he thought that they were all disciples of the Imperial Spirit, Tang Ping would start the battle between spirit beasts with himself as soon as he came up, but why did she shoot first It seems to be Bi Bo Tan's means, by the way, her sixth grandfather is Elder Tang Bo of Bi Bo Tan, so it is normal for her to know some ice control techniques, well, it seems that this is to test herself.
The cold wind was suddenly tight, like a cold snow prison suddenly descending, and the fierce cold wind also blew the back hem of Wei Huang's robe high, he didn't make a move, after all, he was a senior brother, and his cultivation was higher than Tang Ping's, this scene didn't seem very fair, so it was also the right thing to let Tang Ping strike first.
Immediately followed by the cold fog, the ice wind shouted, and the cold current hit the chest, and it was estimated that others had already been blown off the stage by this strong cold wind, Wei Di had to fight seriously at this time, and at this time, the cold wind that blew out from Tang Ping's hands was wrapped in a thick cold fog that almost filled the entire ring, Wei Du's figure began to be blurred in the fog, and in an instant, it was completely a cold white fog, and Wei Di inside could no longer be seen, only a white mist rolled and swayed.
Wei Di's figure just disappeared into the cold mist, and immediately fine ice crystals appeared in the ice wind, as the sharp and sharp ice crystals became denser and denser, the sharp whistling sound from the appearance to the sound was almost a blink of an eye, and countless finger-long, two-end sharp ice ridges with a sharp sound piercing the space continued to shoot into the thick cold fog like a torrential rain!
At the same time, just above Tang Ping's head, there was an ice crystal that was constantly absorbing the nearby water vapor and cold steam, visible to the naked eye, from a palm length to an arm's length and still expanding, and the ice-white sharp tip at the front was facing the position where Wei Di was originally standing in the cold mist.
At this time, the dense ice crystals never stopped, but after entering the thick cold fog, there were bursts of water sounds, as if all the ice crystals had fallen into an invisible lake in the cold mist, and the sound of swishing and gurgling water kept coming together!
Obviously, under such a dense offensive, Wei Di was using his means to resist.
The ice crystal on the top of Tang Ping's head was as thick as a strong man's waist in a short period of time, the length of the temple pillar, the sharp and thin at the front end was as thin as a silver needle, and the sound of water came Tang Ping had already heard it, and he didn't know how Wei Huang used to resist this trick......
"Poof", then "bang", there seems to be a splash of water in the ring!
The blow missed again, and Tang Ping stopped, she was now curious about how the other party could resist the dense attack she had just made.
The cold fog gradually faded, and when they could see it clearly, countless disciples in the audience almost let out an exclamation of "wow" in unison......
I saw a huge light blue water ball appear in the ring, floating there in the air, almost like a two-story building, the sunlight in the air reflected through it into a shining gold, the water ball was firmly blocked in front of Wei Di, all the ice crystals sent out by Tang Ping just now fell into this water ball, even the last coarse ice cube was the same, it was rapidly melting in the water. But the most incredible thing is that in the middle of this water ball, there is actually a half-zhang long big fish swinging its fin tail, the iron blue fish head, the size of a fist, the scales of the whole body are shining, the most amazing thing is that the big fish has a fin like a bird's wing on both sides of the body, which makes people think that it is the fanning of the pair of weird fins that makes this big water ball hang in the air.
"Win the fish!" Tang Ping recognized the strange fish in the water balloon.
At this time, at the window of Chengguan Building, Gu Shou Fairy's eyebrows were raised, and he said softly:
"It's kind of interesting to win the fish."
Wei Di stood behind the big water balloon with his hands in his hands, looking very relaxed, Tang Ping's temptation failed, and at the same time, one of his hands hidden in the sleeve of his robe moved slightly, and a smile appeared on Tang Ping's face, and he whispered:
"Senior Sister Tang, even the principal and interest will be returned to you!"
The water ball suddenly shrank so fast that it almost exposed the big fish!
Tang Ping was facing the big fish, and she saw that the winning fish's mouth was wide open, and her body was quickly bulging, this was ...... Drinking water?
And then...... From the obviously much smaller water balloon, a pale blue water shot towards Tang Ping like a water dragon!
Tang Ping dodged in the air urgently.
But the water column as thick as the waist of a fierce man actually turned in the air and began to wrap around Tang Ping, and the water in the water column was not scattered, so it chased Tang Ping's figure, just like a python made of blue water must bind Tang Ping to death, and the water in the water ball was constantly sprayed out by the big fish, making the water column longer and longer!
Win the fish and control the water!
Tang Ping immediately thought of this.
Don't look at the water is not a lot, but as long as she is trapped in the water, then Ying Yu will have the means to make it difficult for her to escape from the water, and Wei Di will continue to use methods against herself.
You must not be trapped in water.
She has a way.
While launching a rapid dodge, Tang Ping's hands kept changing, and the long light blue water column twisted and twisted to block all the places that Tang Ping could dodge, and when she was about to be swept into the water, a brighter blue light shone out, and a fist-sized blue ball of light was held by Tang Ping's right hand and aimed at the water column that rushed over!
The blue ball of light burst out, and the chill was in full bloom in an instant!
The disciples who were watching the battle were almost shivering from the cold, not to mention that there was white vapor coming out of their mouths and noses between their breaths, and even a layer of frost flowers formed on the tips of their hair and eyebrows!
At this time, under the power of the blue ball of light, the water column that pounced on Tang Ping instantly froze, and in the continuous sound of ice cracking, an ice-white extreme cold spread along the winding and twisting light blue water column with extremely fast rotation, like a touch of ice white chasing a light blue rush, and from time to time there were ice chips scattered and landed on the ground, and this ice-white extreme cold finally headed towards the winning fish in the water ball!
Regarding Tang Ping's response, Tang Bonian, who was watching the battle upstairs, was very satisfied, nodded and said:
"Well, it's not bad, it's a bit of a look."
Wei Di didn't dare to let his spirit beast be injured by the power of the cold, the icy white frozen extreme cold was about to extend to the water balloon where the fish was accommodating, he hurriedly slapped it on the water balloon, "bang" There was a water sound, the big fish was gone, but the palm of his hand was extremely cold and hurriedly withdrew his hand, and in such a short moment, the water ball turned into a cold hanging ice ball!
Seeing that Wei Di had taken away his winning fish, Tang Ping immediately stomped on the frozen and sturdy winding water column beside him, and suddenly the ring was "banging", and all the icicles fell to the ground and shattered.
In the crushing ice, Wei Huang didn't know what Tang Ping meant, the hurricane on the ring suddenly rose, the wind was extremely violent, and all the broken ice on the initial ring was wrapped in it together, and in an instant, all the broken ice roared and rotated, dyeing the hurricane into a dangerous ice white color, and there was a cold and roaring whirlpool in the ring, and in the middle of the whirlpool, it was Wei Huang who was fluttering randomly at the same time with his robe and hair.
Tang Ping left room for it, within the hurricane, there was a distance of a few feet between the high-speed rotating crushed ice and Wei Du, but if this distance disappeared, Wei Di's body was afraid that it would be blurred by the flesh and blood cut by the countless high-speed crushed ice.
Of course, the competition has only begun, and Tang Ping will not think that now is the time to decide the winner, at this time, it is still a test, to test this Senior Brother Wei's means and touch his bottom by the way.
If you can't get out, then you can only admit defeat, of course Wei Di knows this.
Change has happened.
A thick white vapor gradually rose above the spinning icy white hurricane, and the white vapor became thicker and thicker, and then dissipated when the wind blew it, and correspondingly, the many broken ice that swirled and whistled with the hurricane gradually melted, and the white vapor was formed after they melted! Therefore, the icy white color of this hurricane gradually faded, from not being able to see Wei Di's figure at all to gradually seeing a vague outline, and for the disciples watching the battle in the audience, it seemed that the cold just now was gradually dissipating, and even a heat was overflowing from the hurricane.
It can be said that Tang Ping's method was cracked by Wei Di again.
Suddenly, an exclamation of "ah" came, and it was a disciple who saw the situation in the hurricane from the audience, and then exclaimed!
Tang Ping saw it clearly and was also bluffed.
Everyone was shocked!
The howling hurricane weakened, most of the broken ice melted and steamed, and a few were thrown away by the wind and disappeared, but Wei Di inside was extremely terrifying!
Wei Di's figure did not change, the hurricane disappeared, and his messy robe also hung down, but what was frightening was his head, the original head with a broad forehead at the neckline of the robe was now replaced by a hideous big snake head, red top and green scales, a pair of small eyes shining with bright light were a vertical stripe of eyes, the chilling snake mouth was wide open, the fangs were sharp but not long, the black long letter stretched straight forward and slowly retracted, just when the hurricane disappeared, a strong scorching breath spit out from this snake's mouth, not a flame, Rather, it is like a dry wind filled with scorching heat, and it is this powerful heat that transpirates the broken ice of the hurricane into white steam.
"Is he a youkai, a basilisk?" Lu Pingchuan said.
No one answered, and the other three were stunned.
Fairy Gu nodded again and said:
"Fat, well, it's hard to find, yes, if the kid caught it himself, it would be even better."
"Fat legacy" Tang Ping also muttered two words.
Fat relics, big snakes, double body and one head, it is rumored that the fat relics are in a great drought in the world!
Wei Di's change was to use the Jade Spirit Technique, with the help of the drought power of the fat relics to resolve his predicament, unlike Tang Ping's Jade Spirit Technique, which only changed one arm, what he changed was his own head!
However, Wei Di himself understood that even if he broke Tang Ping's method, but this fat relic was his most important spirit beast, and it had only been long since the competition began, and this Tang Ping didn't even have a little bit of spirit control skills, so he found out his bottom clearly.
This made Wei Di's face hot and annoyed!
When Shangguan Hong looked for him last night, he said:
"Senior Brother Wei, Senior Sister Tang has a very powerful spirit beast, I really want to know what it is, please ask Senior Brother Wei to persecute her well, let her expose that spirit beast and let me take a look, how about it?"
"That's it...... It's so simple......"
Now that I think about it, it's ironic!
At this time, in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd under the stage, Shangguan Hong was watching the competition with Shangguan Xiu, and when he saw the situation on the stage, Shangguan Hong smiled lightly.
Okay, Wei Di has been provoked, and he will look better and better.
Maybe she can make Tang Ping show her fox tail!
