Chapter 229: Leave most of the people, and the giant goose swallows people
An inexplicable voice sounded, causing an uproar above the altar of the Immortal Urn, and everyone said a word, even if they didn't know what the situation of the "survival assessment" was, they were immediately clear, and their faces changed greatly.
More than half of the people showed surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
And immediately, a Taoist hurriedly packed up his things and shouted to the person next to him: "Let me, let let!" And let the poor be borrowed. ”
The direction in which they set off was none other than under the altar of the immortal urn.
The assessment of the Dao Palace is not a registration, you must participate, and you can also skip the exam directly. It's just that any Taoist has only three opportunities to skip the exam in his life, and for any reason, if he doesn't sign up three times, he will have no chance with the Dao Palace.
The first batch of Taoists who set off was very obvious among the applicants.
And the voice that sounded in everyone's minds, after chanting three times, stopped chanting, as if it was waiting for the undetermined Taoist on the altar to retreat.
Yu Lie fell into it, and he also found that the first batch of these people who retreated were basically older, especially including all the Taoists who had shouted and bought and sold on the altar before.
Obviously, this group of people didn't have much confidence at all when they came to participate in the Dao Palace assessment, and now when they heard that the assessment was difficult, they all retreated.
Under the influence of this group of Taoists, the young Taoists on the altar had great doubts on their faces, and some of them were timid. The number of Taoists on the entire altar disappeared by thirty percent in an instant!
The altar, which was still a little crowded, suddenly became a little looser, and everyone could breathe.
It's just that everyone is not in the mood to care about this at the moment. When the person who should have gone has almost gone, and the noisy scene has become a little calmer, a Taoist at the scene calmed down and shouted:
"Dare to ask Dao Palace, which side of the exotic world this experience is?"
"Please also ask the Dao Palace to inform me of the location of the training!"
Many Taoists fell in the crowd, like roosters, screaming.
The reason why this is so is also because on the entire immortal altar, except for the Taoists who are their references, there are no other Taoists present, and no one can ask.
The ghosts and gods used to maintain order outside the altar were only like stone puppets, standing with their eyes closed, hanging far in the air beyond the altar.
The call on the scene is getting louder and louder, and Yu Lie himself is also curious about the exotic world he wants to go to in this round of assessment.
If the chosen exotic world was really dangerous, he would rather give up this opportunity to be assessed and save his life.
"My sister-in-law is right, although assessment is important, life is more important. Even if there is a signboard guarantee from the Dao Palace, if there is a mistake in the assessment, it will be regretful. ”
Yu Lie calmly combed in his heart: "Besides, even if the loss rate of an assessment is not high, it is controlled below one percent. But just because people don't die doesn't mean they won't have sequelae. ”
This is a point that Yu Lie slowly realized and was extremely skeptical after being reminded by his sister-in-law Lawson.
It must be known that before the achievement of the six-grade Taoist, the Taoist cannot be easily damaged whether it is the body or the soul. Even if the immortal path is weird and there are many thaumaturgy, if the congenital limbs are mutilated, it is difficult to repair, which will add a lot of twists and turns to the path.
The female Daomiam is a typical example.
The other party just broke her arm, which made her potential be damaged, and she fell from a talented person to an ordinary Taoist, forcing her to even change her temperament, and she had to restrain her temperament and do her best.
The voices of the reference Taoists became louder, and at the end, the Taoists on the scene began to repeat in unison:
"Respectfully Dao Palace, inform the assessment location!"
The sound was buzzing and deafening.
Even faintly, during the interval between the recitations, Yu Lie and the others heard the noise coming from other directions in the distance, as if someone somewhere was shouting loudly together.
This situation is possible, although the Dao City is large, the inner city is not large, and the area where the Daogong Mountain Gate is located is even smaller. In addition, on each side of the altar, there are tens of thousands of Taoists on the board, all of whom have mana, and they recite in unison, and the sound can resound half of the inner city.
The recitation sound was loud, and the fairy urn that fell on the top of everyone's heads was as golden as the sun, shaking gently, as if there was an invisible big hand, and it was moved.
At this time, finally another voice sounded in everyone's head:
"Imperial Decree: Whoever passes this assessment, regardless of his foot, can enter the Taoist Palace."
The sound of this edict made many people now change their faces slightly, and their expressions were different.
Everyone waited for another sound to come from the fairy urn, but the fairy urn returned to its static state again, no longer moving, and did not answer everyone's questions again.
The quiet crowd on the altar immediately shook again, and another group of Taoists hurriedly walked to the bottom of the altar as if the soles of their feet had been anointed with oil.
Although the second voice did not answer everyone's words positively, it also proved from the side that the next assessment location will not be a good place, and it must be extremely dangerous.
For example, beside Yu Lie, among the fat and thin father and son, the fat father muttered:
"The Daogong assessment, although it doesn't pay attention to the heels on the surface, but in fact, it attaches great importance to it. The natives of Daocheng who are admitted to the Daogong are far better than the natives of Daocheng...... Now Dao Gong speaks directly, as long as he passes the assessment, he can pass the test. In this way, this assessment must not be simple! ”
The other party spoke, looked at the surrounding Taoists who were retreating under the altar, showed hesitation on his face, and said in a low voice: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Why don't we retreat as well, and we will have a long experience this year. ”
But this person's son showed a look of determination on his face: "Dad! In this way, this assessment is also just the opportunity for us to wait, as long as we pass the test, we can enter the palace! ”
As he spoke, the fat man saw that his son was so resolute, although the hesitation on his face was still there, he also gritted his teeth and nodded: "That's it, since my son insists, my father will accompany you." It is also rare for you and my father and son to be in the same round, and my father is just protecting you a little in the assessment. ”
In addition to this pair of father and son who insisted on staying to participate in the assessment, next to Yu Lie, there were friends who had a warm conversation, suddenly parted ways, and there were men and women who originally seemed to be in love, and they suddenly became strangers.
Under these crucial choices, people choose to stay or go.
And Yu Lie fell into it, looking at the passing reference crowd, he also hesitated on his face, but his body shook, and finally stood in place, without climbing the altar of the immortal urn.
This year is the year that he is about to turn eighteen, and if he misses this experience, every other year in the future, it will be more difficult to enter the Dao Palace.
And there has been a retreat this year, even if he is qualified, it may increase the risk of being brushed down by that palace.
This point is not that Yu Lie is blindly worried, but that his sister-in-law Lawson emphasized in her notes. The other party told Yu Lie that even if he was hopeless in the assessment, he must also stabilize his Dao heart, and he must not be unscrupulous, let alone act insidiously and harming people openly.
Of course, another reason why Yu Lie chose to stay where he was was was that after many of the Taoists on the altar left, there were still half of the Taoists standing on the altar and not leaving.
Yu Lie glanced at it, and judged in his heart:
"There are still nearly 10,000 people on the altar here alone, even if the assessment is dangerous, but these many people have fallen into a foreign land, and the Dao Palace will also provide a certain amount of protection. I'll go with the crowd and get a hand! ”
Yu Lie thought so optimistically, but some Taoists on the scene were not so thoughtful.
Many Taoists who originally didn't plan to step down, saw that between just two sentences, the people who referred to it walked away in an uproar, and they had to panic and take a step.
In the middle of nowhere, the fairy talisman hanging high above the altar is constant, and this thing is like an indifferent eye, quietly watching everyone.
When the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, a chuckle suddenly sounded above the altar:
"Haha, that's great! There are still nearly half of them left here, and the poor road is also very poor. ”
This chuckle was different from the indistinguishable voice of the man and woman just now, and it was full of banter and human flavor.
The other party also shouted: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and if you still want to go down, get out of here quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to regret it when the time comes." ”
When these words sounded, a few Taoists who were really rubbing on the edge of the altar heard it, and they jumped down.
The Taoists who chose to stay on the altar followed the sound and looked over and found that at some point, a Taoist riding a "white crane" appeared in the sky above everyone and was flying around the immortal urn.
The "white crane" had wide wings, flying in circles, making a sharp crane chirp, and its long mouthful of fine teeth made Yu Lie faintly feel a little familiar.
The Taoist of Heshang was dressed in a moon-white robe, his face was like a child, his hair was pale, and his mouth was cinnabar.
He held a white jade ruyi in his hand, and shouted: "Poor Dao White Goose, fellow Daoists, please come with Poor Dao and take you to participate in the assessment!" ”
The call sounded, and the Taoists present heard it and rushed to give it up: "See the Taoist!" ”
"I've seen the Taoist!"
Among them, Yu Lie, who is generally a little knowledgeable, after hearing the three words "white goose", was stunned for a moment, looked at the "white crane" ridden by the other party, and muttered: "This spirit bird is a goose and not a crane?" ”
Immediately afterwards, they realized that the person who came should be a six-grade Taoist priest!
Because according to the regulations of the Taoist court, only the six-grade Taoist priests can have the real Taoist name and be named with the word "Zi".
If you are below the sixth grade, even if you take the Taoist name of the Eight Classics, it is only a nickname.
The white goose appeared, and the surrounding area of the immortal altar suddenly blew violently, making nearly 10,000 Taoist disciples feel that their feet are floating and fluttering, and they are about to rise with the wind.
The other party rode a crane-like goose, shook his sleeve robe, and laughed in his mouth: "Go, go!" ”
Such a scene made everyone, including Yu Lie, think that the other party was going to exert great mana, causing nearly 10,000 people at the scene to rise up from the ground and walk into the so-called assessment entrance of the other party with the wind.
Many people yearn for it: "The six-grade Taoist priest has such a great mana!" ”
"This Taoist priest, I must deserve it."
But the next moment, the big goose that the other party was riding opened its mouth, and its body became larger in mid-air, and in a few blinks it was as big as a mansion, fat and huge, covering the sky and the sun, blocking the sun at noon.
Under the shadow, what made everyone even more horrified was that the giant goose lowered its thick neck, continued to open its mouth widely, and its throat was like an abyss, making a whirring wind.
"What does that mean?!" The Taoists, who were already vain, were surprised in their hearts.
Many people stumbled on their feet, and suddenly they flew into the mouth of the giant goose as if they were planting onions upside down.
The wind is whistling!
The goose inhales and devours the crowd on the altar.
In just one breath, hundreds of Daoists flew into the mouth of the giant goose, and the speed was so fast that the other party's stomach did not bulge at all.
Those Taoists who were originally excited changed their faces sharply, shocked and suspicious.
Even a Taoist like Yu Lie, who had seen a big scene, showed hesitation in his eyes, looking at the throat of the giant goose, not knowing whether to go in or not.
But they didn't have a choice, and after thousands of people were sucked in, the white goose standing on the head of the goose knocked on the head of the giant goose with the white jade Ruyi in his hand, and shouted:
"Slow, slow."
Immediately, the giant goose no longer just swallowed and breathed, but copied the goose's head, and the head flickered towards everyone. Among them, perhaps the strength of the giant goose was not done well, and it bit the person, and the screams of the Taoist people sounded one after another.
Yu Lie and the others did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took the initiative to throw themselves into the mouth of the giant goose.
So after a few breaths, there was no one on the altar with nearly 10,000 people, only debris all over the ground, and a hideous white goose as huge as a mansion.
The Taoist on the goose blew lightly on the altar, swept the altar, and then knocked on the white goose's head.
Wow, wow!
The sound of the crane sounded again, from big to small.
The giant goose regained the size of a cow or a horse, and it held the Taoist in a circle in mid-air.
I saw that the immortal urn suspended in mid-air shook again, and a portal faintly appeared in it.
The Taoist riding the white goose circled and immediately flew into it, and the huge immortal altar was empty, and there was no one left.
Only those Taoists who chose to climb the altar looked up at the bottom of the altar, looking at each other with a look of astonishment, wondering what had happened on the altar, whether they had avoided it or had they missed it?
After Yu Lie and the others entered the belly of the giant goose, they suddenly felt that their bodies were upside down, swaying left and right, and there were screams, screams, and greetings from friends in their ears, which were chaotic.
Among them, Yu Lie didn't wait for himself to stand firm, so he hurriedly blessed his body with another charm, and also held the Japanese gold talisman given to him by his sister-in-law tightly in his hand.
Just when he passed by the mouth of the giant goose, Yu Lie's bad luck was cut between the sharp teeth of the giant goose.
Thanks to the fact that he saw that something was wrong before, he first blessed a body talisman on his body, and his body was also strong, otherwise he might be like those screaming Taoists, directly cut his intestines and limbs by the sharp teeth of the giant goose.
In the darkness, there were no fingers visible, as if there was a strange mist shrouded in it.
The Taoists continued to roll and spin in the belly of the giant goose, and their consciousness began to blur, not knowing the passage of time.
But slowly, there was a little bit of golden light, like fireflies, and like stars lit up in this pitch black, dense, and the strange fog could not be suppressed.
This light was ignited from the foreheads of nearly 10,000 Daoists.
The Dao Jars in the spiritual platform of all the people appeared on their own, and there was dragon qi pouring in and out, colluding with each other.
I saw a line of handwriting, which coincidentally appeared in everyone's Taoist urn:
Imperial order!
To the west of the Great Realm, there is a mustard seed, and its boundary is small, floating away, and Taoist priests are not allowed to enter.
There are beasts in the world, eating human souls, feasting on incense, calling themselves dragon courts, slandering immortals and destroying the Tao.
Hereby, descend to the immortals and help the road, cut down the mountain and break the temple, in order to be clear.
