Chapter 10: A Dark Horse

Seven years have come to an instant, and the once-in-a-decade outer door test is about to begin.

Recently, a lot of things have happened in Wanxuanmen, and one of the most sensational ones is the "Mountain and Sea Order" promulgated by the head of the sect himself.

The secret realm of mountains and seas is about to open, as the legendary inheritance place, the secret realm of mountains and seas is opened once every few thousand years, the specific time is uncertain, only that there will be a key to the secret realm before it is opened, and anyone who gets the key of the secret realm can enter it, but the cultivation is limited to the age of the infant can enter. And this time the secret realm of mountains and seas is about to open a hundred years later.

The Mountain and Sea Order is the only key to enter the secret realm of the mountains and seas, a total of thousands, and each time there will be a fixed three hundred keys appearing on the top of the spiritual mountain in the Xiuzhen realm, and the spiritual mountain is controlled by the first sect in the Xiuzhen realm today, the Sidao Sect, and the natural mountain and sea order is also distributed by it. The remaining 700 Mountain and Sea Orders immediately appeared in the cultivation realm, and those who were destined could obtain them.

A total of 300 Shanhai Orders, 50 were retained by the Sidao Sect, and the rest were distributed according to the strength of the sect.

As the largest sect in the Xichuan realm, Wan Xuanmen got twenty pieces, which is already a large amount.

In order to determine the candidate to obtain the Shanhai Order, Wanxuanmen will hold a "Shanhai Ling" after eighty-five years, there is no restriction on cultivation, no restriction on identity, all Wanxuanmen disciples, who win the top 20, can get a Shanhai Order, so as to enter the land of inheritance to find opportunities.

Ancient inheritance, this is an irresistible temptation for most people, and if you can get one of them, you may be able to soar to the sky. Moreover, even if you can't find the inheritance, the secret realm of mountains and seas is full of treasures, and it is said that the birds and beasts inside may be the descendants of ancient beasts, and every inch of land is a treasure land!

Zhang Zheng was also excited, not to mention coveting the treasure inside, this is human nature. However, according to ancient records, in ancient times, monks cultivated more Taoist hearts, and even appeared guardians recognized by heaven and earth. It would be a great honor to be able to enter this ancient secret realm, even if it was just to get a glimpse of the prosperity of the Dao in the ancient period.

But she was only excited for a while, and then she gave up. There is no limit to cultivation, under the Yuan Infant, when the time comes, the competition for this mountain and sea order will be a fight between the gods, and it will be in full swing. With her current seven-year hard cultivation to cultivate the fourth-level Qi cultivation, what does she compare with others, she has to fly upside down and plant a big heel if they flick their fingers.

In the past seven years, in addition to her fixed chores, she has also taken on a lot of outing tasks, several times she died in her life, and almost died in Huangquan, just in order to earn more contribution points and spirit stones, she was able to enter the second and third floors of the library to borrow books.

Outsiders see her working so hard, she can be called a desperate thirteen mother, plus many disciples have been on missions with her, but their impression of her has changed a lot.

Zhang Tongmen, except for his cold temperament, unsociable and greedy for money, does not seem to have any major shortcomings.

Because of her frequent assignments, many outer disciples thought that she must be very wealthy, and often looked at her with envy.

I don't know, if Zhang Zheng knows, he will definitely cry out for a big misunderstanding.

She earned a lot of contribution points and spirit stones, but they were all posted in the library pavilion, and even most of the annual pills were resold.

Except for a storage bag full of replica jade slips, she can be said to be poor and white, and the magic weapon she uses is only the dagger from seven years ago, and it is even heavily damaged for some reasons, and her clothes are only two sect clothes and a civilian clothes that are sometimes necessary to reveal her identity when she is on a mission.

The ancients said that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, if it is true, Zhang Zheng must be regarded as an invisible little rich, but unfortunately it is fake. Knowledge is power, and there is some truth to that.

In the past seven years, Zhang Zheng has worked part-time in addition to cultivation, and reading books in addition to part-time work.

The life of three points and one line, ordinary people may not be able to stand it for a long time, but Zhang Zheng has no choice, she must be like this, if she wants to take on a big responsibility, where can she not accept the suffering.

Seven years of penance is not without gains, at least the cultivation has also increased by two floors, and the most worthy of celebration is that after reading almost all the relevant books on the first three floors of the Library Pavilion, she can finally feel the tail of the Tao.

Perhaps another opportunity is needed, and when the time comes, she will be able to truly see her own path, decide her own path, and if so, she will be able to truly step into the cultivation.

At that time, the sky is high and the birds will fly, and the sea will be wide and the fish will jump. She Zhang Zheng is out of the way!

However, the opportunity is unpredictable.

Reading the book again does not have much effect on her at this stage, and the outer door test is imminent, Zhang Zheng also decided to go with the crowd to see how lively this outer door test is.

In the next two days, Zhang Zheng was not in a hurry to take on the task, and practiced step by step, reading books from time to time, until the day of the outer door test.

Early in the morning, most of the disciples of the outer gate rushed to the martial arts arena in high spirits, and this competition was presided over by the elders of the inner gate himself, and many senior brothers and sisters of the inner gate would also come to watch.

Zhang Zheng followed the many disciples to crowd on the stone platform around the martial arts arena, and looked curiously at the stairs above him.

It was the place where the elders and the inner disciples watched the competition, and there were not many people at the moment, and the few people seemed to be a little lacking in interest. I think about it, after all, it's just a competition of outer disciples, most of the inner disciples can't look down on it, and these can just come to see the excitement, if you are lucky enough to meet a talented person, maybe you can also introduce it and get a fate.

As soon as the time arrived, a brown-robed elder stroked a few strands of beard and said angrily: "The time has come, and this year's outer gate test has officially begun." A total of 572 people participated in this competition, the first two people in one ring, one person won, the connected number is the same ring, please monk play. ”

Wan Xuanmen has strong financial resources, even the outer gate martial arts arena has been built very widely, in addition to the central main martial arts field, there are hundreds of secondary martial arts fields scattered around the stars.

Today's first competition is held in the sub-martial arts field, and a long river phantom in the air shows the name of the competition disciples in each martial arts field, and the spectators can choose to watch in the ring.

Of course, elders and inner disciples always have privileges, for example, at this moment, they have an all-round projection stone in front of them, which arena they want to see, and they can display it when their minds move.

Zhang Zheng has been busy in the past seven years, and Ye Qinghuan, who loves to trouble her, seems to be tired of this feeling of punching cotton with a punch, and slowly ignores her, of course, it may also be because the gap between the two cultivators is gradually widening, how can the clouds in the sky bother to grind the mud on the ground. I heard that Ye Qinghuan broke through the eleventh layer of Qi cultivation a few months ago, and this time he also participated in the outer door test.

Almost all of the disciples who participated in the outer door test were disciples who practiced qi at more than ten levels, and how could such an outer door master have anything to do with Zhang Zheng, so Zhang Zheng, who didn't hear anything outside the window, didn't know anything about the strength of these monks.

"Who do you think will win this time, Senior Brother Lu or Senior Brother Wang?"

"Then who knows, but I think it's probably Senior Brother Lu, but it can't be ruled out that a dark horse suddenly appeared and won the championship in one fell swoop."

Hearing the conversation of the two monks next to him, it seemed that this Senior Brother Lu was very powerful, Zhang Zheng rolled his eyes, and quietly followed the two monks who were talking to him to the martial arts arena where Senior Brother Lu competed.

The two male monks on the field, both of them were wearing uniform brown uniforms, one was holding a strange wooden staff and his face was barely handsome, it was the powerful Senior Brother Lu in the mouth, and the other was slightly shorter, holding a simple array plate in his hand, presumably a formation mage.

Presumably they just right

"He Daoyou, it's a pleasure." Senior Brother Lu was the first to say hello.

He Daoyou in his mouth had a cold face, and he only regretted that the words were like gold: "Fortunately."

Knock - the drum sounds, and the competition officially begins.

Senior Brother Lu was also the first to attack, only to see his wooden staff raised, his lips moved slightly, and a bunch of green vines rose into the air, rushing towards the other party at an extremely fast speed.

He Daoyou was not far behind, as soon as the figure magic trick came out, he turned into a phantom, hurriedly dodged to the side, and quickly moved the array plate with his hand.

He's setting up. Realizing this, Senior Brother Lu didn't dare to test it easily, once the formation mage was formed, it would be okay to have more than one enemy, he had to fight quickly, and he couldn't let the formation be completed.

"The vine tree plays the snake!"

As Senior Brother Lu slammed his wooden staff on the ground, the entire martial arts arena was instantly covered with dense green vines, and the thick vines surged like snakes, attacking He Daoyou.

The audience outside the arena may only feel spectacular, but for He Daoyou, who was attacked in the arena, he could even hear the neighing of those strange vines, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, eyeing the tiger.

On the entire table, he had no place to stay, so the formation could not be arranged.

This move "Vine Tree Playing Snake" is obviously one of Senior Brother Lu's biggest lore, and the audience is enthusiastic and shouting for Senior Brother Lu's bravery.

Zhang Zheng felt the power of the outer master for the first time, this is just a duel, not a life-and-death fight, she dares to believe that if it is her on the field, she may not even be able to avoid a vine.

It was too weak, her heart was pounding, it was different from the desperate fight when she encountered a life-and-death crisis, the second time she experienced the danger in other monks, the first time was when she faced the demon cultivator, and both times, she could say with certainty that she had no power to fight back.

Zhang Zheng stared intently at the ring, unable to fully agree with the situation that most of the monks around him thought were one-sided.

Although He Daoyou was forced into a corner, it seemed that he would be strangled by vines at any time, but he didn't see a trace of anxiety except for frowning slightly.

He still has a back-up move.

Sure enough, he decisively put away the array plate, slapped the storage bag, and a small purple and red sword appeared out of thin air. The small sword is about three fingers long, surrounded by firelight, and the sword body is engraved with a phoenix bird inscription, and the phoenix eye is inlaid with a red spar, the spar is brilliant, as if giving the phoenix bird the soul, and you will know that it is extraordinary at a glance.

"Red Phoenix Sword!"

As soon as this sword came out, an elder on the high platform noticed this, and he didn't even exclaim in surprise at this moment.

His voice was not loud, only the people on the high platform could faintly hear it, so several people turned their eyes to this martial arts field.

Huo Kemu, not to mention that it is still an ordinary fire that you can know at this glance.

Senior Brother Lu was terrified, he was connected to the wooden staff's divine sense, and he could naturally feel the extreme horror fed back from the wooden staff. When did this guy enter the outer door, how could he never have heard of such a terrible person.

This time it was really bad luck.

Senior Brother Lu couldn't help but sigh, his wooden staff was obtained by a secret realm chance, it was a rare semi-growth magic weapon, and it was difficult to find in the world, but now it was only a second-order middle grade, and it was definitely no match with the small sword in front of him, he didn't dare to risk it, it would be a pity to destroy it.

But it would be too humiliating to give up like this, and he didn't want to do this cowardly act, so he put away his wooden staff.

"Vine Shield!"

Without the help of any magic weapons, just relying on magic tricks, the magic power of Senior Brother Lu is still not to be underestimated.

He Daoyou's cold face did not change, and as soon as he commanded the sword, the purple-red little sword stabbed out, and there seemed to be flames burning out of thin air where he passed.

The vines were obviously inferior to the little sword, and the shield was about to be pierced, while the little sword was only slightly slower.

Senior Brother Lu sweated like rain, quickly transformed the vines, and integrated a bunch of thick branches to confront the small sword head-on.

In the thrilling moment, the purple red sword finally stopped, and the vines were only less than a finger long.

Before he could put down his heart, he saw He Daoyou's gesture change slightly, and the purple-red little sword suddenly cracked out two pure fire shadows, and slammed towards Senior Brother Lu's dantian and the Divine Mansion.

"I throw in the towel!"

As soon as these words came out, the little sword stopped instantly, Senior Brother Lu's face was frightened, and the skin of his eyebrows was pierced by the sharp tip of the sword, a little bright red and scorching, if he took a step slower, this little sword would pierce his dantian and divine mansion, it was really terrifying.

Even if the elder intervenes in time to stop it, his foundation will be damaged, and if he has no chance in the second half of his life, he will not be able to move forward.

"Lu Daoyou, I agreed."

The purple red sword was taken back into the storage bag, and He Daoyou's face softened slightly, and he bowed.

Senior Brother Lu has also seen a big scene, and he is not so stupid as to be scared, he has recovered from the momentary fright, and he also hugged his fists and congratulated sincerely.

It's just an outer door test, there is no need to worry about it, people who are better than him are like carp crossing the river. With the help of magic weapons, luck and financial resources are a kind of monk's strength, and this He Daoyou's control of the small sword is so handy, it can be seen that his cultivation and spirit are solid and strong, and he is convinced.

The fighting method pays attention to a hearty, and in this game, he has seen again, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.

After the end of the game, Senior Brother Lu rarely did not rush away, he looked up at the sky, the sky was so high that even the towering mountains could not be touched. Since he made a little achievement in the outer gate, although he told himself from the bottom of his heart not to be complacent, he was still inevitably uncertain and almost went astray. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh faintly, he still had a long way to go.

The two protagonists on the stage have already withdrawn, and the monks who watched the competition on the field first looked at each other, as if they didn't expect that Senior Brother Lu, the first person in the outer door, actually lost in the first competition, and then, there was a roar of cheers.

This nameless He Daoyou can be regarded as a blockbuster in this outer door test, and maybe after the competition, he will be favored by the inner door elders and accepted as an apprentice.
