Chapter Forty-Eight: Everyone is Surprised

At the same time, on the top of Chixia Peak outside, two Jinhua Mountain elders in purple robes were talking.

One of them was Huo Xiu, the seventh elder who was in charge of the trial, and the other was Elder Sikong, the great elder of Jinhua Mountain. Although this Sikong Lao has the word "old" in his name, he doesn't look old at all, although he is more than one hundred and thirty years old, but because of his cultivation, he looks like he is in his fifties.

At this moment, Sikong Lao looked at the scenery in the distance and asked softly, "Elder Huo, the results of this trial are not very good."

"It's inevitable. Huo Xiu said with a smile, "After all, the mountain lord has already made a greeting, and he can't put too many people into the mountain, on the one hand, for the sake of this Ziyang Princess, and on the other hand, to prevent the atmosphere in the mountain from being corrupted." Anyway, no matter how sincere this rich kid is in cultivating immortals, the stinky temper of the eldest young master still can't be changed. If too many people come into the mountains, it will inevitably make a miasma. ”

"And how many have passed this time?"

"It's two now, and there should be more in a while, but not more than five. After all, this trial was personally arranged by the one in the back mountain, and the difficulty increase was not a little bit, unless the strength was really outstanding, it was impossible to break the level successfully. Huo Xiu's face showed a bit of respect, and he seemed to admire the "Houshan one" mentioned in the words.

But Sikong Lao was a little disdainful, glanced at Huo Xiu dissatisfied, and asked again, "Did that Ziyang princess come out?"

"Nope. Huo Xiu shook his head and then laughed, "That princess is definitely a high-minded and arrogant character, how can she give up until the last moment? ”

"Look, I hope this princess will surprise us. Sikong Lao nodded, and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the empty space on the side, and said, "Come out one." ”

"Hmm. Huo Xiu responded, followed Sikong Lao's gaze, and then saw Sun Li, who was forcibly sent out of the trial world.

Sun Li felt his body return to normal little by little, and found that he had returned to the original Chixia Peak, and two people in purple robes were looking at him not far away.

"Name?" asked Elder Huo, who had met him once, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Sun Li. Sun Li replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Broken the five levels?" Huo Xiu confirmed softly.

Sun Li nodded slightly, "Yes." ”

"Well, it's not bad. Huo Xiu looked at it seriously, then nodded and said, "It's okay to have a six-fold cultivation of the Mortal, which family's young master are you?"

"The disciple is the nephew of Song Daquan in Ping'an County. ”

"Then how did you get your cultivation?"

"In my hometown of Bailu County, a Taoist priest taught. He taught me for three years, and then he disappeared and still can't find him. ”

"Are all the truth?" Huo Xiu's face became serious, "We will check your words one by one, if there is any untruth, don't blame the mountain precepts for being ruthless." ”

"What the disciple said was the truth. Sun Li said calmly. For the investigation in Huo Xiu's mouth, Sun Li had already figured it out, at most, he asked the lay disciples outside the mountain to verify it with Song Daquan. As for Bailu County, because the road is too far away, it is difficult to verify the evidence, and there is no accident to check. And Song Daquan has Nie Xiaoqian watching there, and there will be no mistakes at all, so his identity is impeccable in a short period of time.

After hearing Sun Li's answer, Huo Xiu's face smiled again, and then took out an elegant wooden box and handed it over, Sun Li opened it and found that it was a set of gray clothes, a long sword, a booklet, and a key.

"The gray robe, the low-grade cultivation technique, and the iron sharpening sword are all agreed before. The key is a room assigned to you, on top of another mountain, where you wait for a while, and when the business here is over, someone will take you there. ”

"Thank you, Elder. Sun Li bowed, then walked to the side and stood quietly, waiting, without any objections.

Because Sun Li knew very well in his heart what to wait for, it was nothing more than waiting for Li Qing'er's trial to end and come out at the end. It's no wonder, not to mention Li Qing'er's own identity, it's worth it just by relying on the number of levels that the other party has broken now.

Elsewhere, there are many more awaiting.

Bixiao Peak, in a cave.

An old man in a plain white robe was sitting at a stone table, drinking tea leisurely.

Next to him was an old man who looked twenty years older than him, with a wrinkled face and gray hair, busily fiddling with a pile of bottles and cans.

"Tsk, Liu San, you are not authentic this time, this tea is obviously not as good as last time. The old man in the plain white robe pretended to be old.

The man known as Liu San looked to be at least eighty years old, with a wrinkled face and gray hair. After listening to the words of the white-robed old man, he frowned slightly, stopped the movements in his hand, and sighed and said, "You have drunk all the good tea at one time, but there is only bad tea left." ”

"If you want me to say, what kind of tea to drink, give me a sip of wine. ”

"That's not going to work. The gray-haired old man flatly refused, and after half a sound, he showed a somewhat wry smile, "It's not that you don't know the order given by the mountain master, so you don't have to compete, there is no one in this entire Jinhua Mountain who dares to let you drink now." ”

"It's boring. As he spoke, the white-robed old man poured another bowl of tea and hummed, "There is no interesting person in the whole mountain, and it is boring." ”

The gray-haired old man just smiled bitterly, and then continued to fiddle with the bottles and cans in his hand, the white-robed old man was bored with himself, snorted dissatisfiedly, and began to taste the tea again. But suddenly, the white-robed old man's brows furrowed, and the teacup he was holding stopped in mid-air, and then he looked at the surface of the tea in a daze, with surprise in his eyes, and it became more and more intense.

"This ......," the white-robed old man finally couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Huh?" the gray-haired old man frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone broke the barrier. The white-robed old man's voice was a little inexplicable.

"Broke the level, didn't one of them just break the fifth level just now, and now someone has broken the level again?" The gray-haired old man obviously knew what the other party said, and frowned and asked, "How many levels have you broken, looking at you like this, it won't be the seventh level, right?" Didn't you say that the difficulty of the trial has been increased. It's based on the strength of the princess who came, and it's unlikely that she can break the seventh level......"

"It's not the seventh level. The white-robed old man regained his composure and said slowly.

"Isn't it the seventh level?" the gray-haired old man was slightly stunned, and then sneered, "What's so surprising about breaking the sixth level." ”

"It's not the sixth level. The white-robed old man had already found the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up, and looked out of the cave.

"It's not the sixth level, it's the fifth ......," the gray-haired old man said, and then his voice stopped abruptly, his breathing was slightly short, and he said in disbelief, "Could it be the eighth level...... That princess!"

"Yes, it's the eighth level, the eighth level that hasn't appeared in many years. The white-robed old man said with a sigh, "The mountain lord should also know, and the mountain bell will ring soon." ”

As soon as the words of the white-robed old man fell, he saw that the entire cave was slightly shaken, and then an extremely solemn and majestic bell came, and there was a roar away, spreading all over the thousands of mountains, hundreds of mountains and nineteen peaks of Jinhua Mountain.

"Knock! knock!"

The bell rang three times, and the people in the entire Jinhua Mountain showed surprise, and several people in gorgeous purple robes hurried towards Chixia Peak.

"Mantle disciple, what an honor to hold an apprenticeship ceremony directly, it seems that this princess is really not simple. The white-robed old man said, then shook his head and walked towards the outside of the cave, "Liu San, you can go too, after all, according to the rules, you have to go." I know you don't deal with the other elders, but ...... Alas...... Forget about the past, it's all in the past. ”

"Got it, Elder, I'll go back. The gray-haired old man was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, and then walked towards the depths of the cave, found the old elder purple robe, put it on his body a little clumsily, and walked out of the cave with an expressionless face.

The white-robed old man looked at the back of this "Liu San" leaving, shook his head with a little helplessness, and then walked towards the back mountain, and when he turned around, he showed a trace of tiredness, and he instantly aged more than a hundred years.
