Chapter 3: The Deceitful and the Hall of Discipline
Back in his dilapidated cabin, Chen Xiqiang couldn't hold back his laughter. There was a hint of curvature at the corners of his mouth, so charming. This laugh is not the kind of laughter that is practiced, but a laugh that comes from the bottom of my heart.
The first step was finally successful.
It took 300 days, which was much longer than he expected. He knew that he had passed by Zhou Jiuzhi so many times, and Zhou Jiuzhi would sooner or later see that he was different. Once he didn't notice it, ten times, fifty times, he would always notice that this shabby boy was actually an unborn genius!
If this step is successful, then the next step will be easier.
Chen Xi sat on the hard bed and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood that had been shaken out by the cough just now.
He did have injuries, but not as Zhou Jiuzhi had speculated.
He entered the blue water cold pool, not to use the cold pool to suppress the fire wounds in his body. It's to cover up...... What he cultivated was the power of the Flame Qi! In order to conceal Zhou Jiuzhi, he had to do this. First, he injured himself with the power of his own flame qi cultivation, and then entered the blue water cold pool every day to suppress his flame qi, in fact, this would not treat the injury, but would only make his injury worse.
If he insisted on it for another sixty days, Zhou Jiuzhi still didn't say anything, and Chen Xi had to leave. When the time comes, the power of the cold pool and the injury of the flame qi will completely drag down his body, and no one can save him.
He made Zhou Jiuzhi believe that his enemy was in Qiyang Valley, but it was in Qiyang Valley that he opened his foundation to learn art.
Because this is not his accusation to Zhou Jiuzhi, but Zhou Jiuzhi's speculation, it is more credible.
One qiē is all about revenge.
Chen Xi thought of the conversation between himself and Zhou Jiuzhi.
"Do you have hatred in your heart?"
"Yes"
"Which?"
"The biggest kind. ”
The biggest enmity is nothing more than a broken family.
He hadn't practiced pranayama for 300 days, and his injuries were still getting worse. But he still can't breathe and can't cultivate, because he is only one step away from success so far.
"Father, mother. ”
Chen Xi said silently in his heart: "Wait for me, wait for me to rescue you from the Nine Shadows Dungeon." Wait for me to take back the one qiqi they took from you, and then return the damage inflicted on us by the enemy tenfold and hundredfold. The child is already about to succeed, as long as he enters the transformation tower, he will have the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard. People in the world only know about the Little Mantian Sect, but they don't know that there is also a Great Mantian Sect...... The enemy is there, and the child will go in. ”
He sat like this for a while, then got up and washed his face, calculated the time, and walked out in the direction of the Discipline Hall.
There are still twenty days left before the annual exam, and it is already very urgent for him.
No one believed that this young man, who was only fifteen years old a month away, had spent ten years planning revenge. Because he has a strong soul, a mature soul. He couldn't let himself ruin ten years of work because of these twenty days, and he would never allow it.
When he walked out of the hut, there was a man waiting for him at the door.
Zhao Wu
This student, who was always in third place in class A, had a little hideous on his face at this time. Chen Xi understands this person, although the Zhao family in Qingzhou is not a first-class cultivation family, it is second only to the Shi family. The reason why he ranked third was perhaps because he had long known that Zhan Qing was one of the core disciples of the Qingwu Academy, and he also knew that the Shi family could not afford to offend.
"Don't think you're going to get anything. ”
Zhao Wu said abruptly: "I know that you are hiding a lot of things, and the reason why I didn't say it is because I want to see what you are going to do." Not only can you cultivate, but your cultivation is not low, right? With your qualifications, even if you enter any sect in a righteous and bright way, you will be valued, but you have to come here to be a handyman...... Chen Xi, you can't fool me. ”
"Why should I lie to you?"
Chen Xi asked.
Zhao Wu sneered: "I don't care why you are, but I'll make it clear to you...... There is no limit to the number of places for each class to enter the internal examination, and if the thirty-six names of a class are all geniuses, it will naturally shine. However, the number of places to enter the tower after the internal test is limited, you must not know this, right? The so-called internal test is actually divided into two layers. The first level is a contest between the colleges, and the winning house can enter the transformation tower first. The class with the best grades can practice at the Changing Fortune Tower for three months. The second class practiced for two months, and the others could only practice for one month. ”
He looked at Chen Xi and said coldly: "However, it is not so easy to enter the Fortune Transformation Tower. These selected people will have a second competition in the tower. The ten strongest people can enter the second-story tower to practice....... you don't have to block my way, if you stop it, the Zhao family will kill you." ”
Chen Xi couldn't help laughing: "It was the Zhao family who killed me, not you?"
Zhao Wu's face changed, and he snorted: "You are so self-conscious!"
"Do you have any treasure on you?"
Chen Xi suddenly asked: "The treasure that can warn, as long as someone with a stronger cultivation power than you appears, this treasure will remind you?"
Zhao Wu's footsteps slammed: "Don't force me." ”
Chen Xi smiled and nodded: "The road is very wide, it is as wide as ten people, it doesn't matter if I stop you or not, the important thing is that you have the ability yourself." The reason why you're here to warn me instead of getting rid of me is because you're worried about whether there's some great force behind me. If you don't dare to act rashly, then why do you have to come?"
Zhao Wu turned around, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Sometimes, if you say too much, you will reach a dead end." ”
"I heard that the Zhao family has been working with King Anyang recently...... And the Little Mantian Sect has always been on the side of the national teacher. ”
Chen Xi said with a smile: "The Holy Emperor of Great Chu is seriously ill, and King Anyang is one of the successors. And the national teacher stood on the side of King Pingjiang...... Don't say that you don't have a mission to enter the Alteration Tower. The change of fortune Tari raises the gods for the royal family, and if the gods can help them, the throne seems to be within reach. There are some unsavory things between you and me, and it's better not to provoke anyone, otherwise...... What if you can't beat me?"
Zhao Wu's face was gloomy, and he turned around and strode away.
......
......
In the sixteenth year of the Great Chu Zhengxing, the Holy Emperor saw the sky falling into the big star, and turned into a shape for thousands of miles with one hand, and the big star was placed in the East China Sea. I don't know how many lives have been saved, and a catastrophe has been resolved. Who knew that since then, the Holy Emperor's health has deteriorated, but in the past fifteen years, as the top master of the Tianfu Continent, he has reached the point of running out of oil and running out.
Naturally, the princes will not keep to themselves, and it is unknown how many small actions there are behind them.
Chen Xi deliberately said those words to Zhao Wu, making Zhao Wu feel that he was also supported by a powerful force behind him.
There are many sects in the world to rely on.
Xiao Mantianzong relied on the National Teacher, and it is rumored that the relationship between the National Teacher and the Holy Emperor was also a teacher and a friend, and had an extremely important influence on the Holy Emperor's decision. And the national teacher has one thing, which is fostered in the Little Mantian Sect. This thing, people who have reached that height, only know that the name is Shenteng.
Some people say that Shenteng is a treasure, can know the world's affairs, thousands of years before and after thousands of years, everything is inaccurate.
Some people say that Shen Teng is a person who lives in the Xiaomantian Sect to practice, and as soon as this person comes out, he can determine the ownership of the world.
Some people say that Shenteng is just a pretense, and it is the national teacher who deliberately attracts the attention of others here. You must know that the Little Mantian Sect is just a midstream sect, and it is not qualified to participate in the game of such strength.
However, as we all know, Shen Teng is in the Changing Tower.
There are nine floors in the re-luck tower, and Shenteng is on the ninth floor.
Chen Xi wants to enter the Changing Fortune Tower, which is for the gods. If he wants to take revenge, he must obtain the power of Shenteng. His enemy's cultivation is strong, and with his current entry, he is afraid that he may not be able to kill the other party in another hundred years. And as far as he knew, his parents couldn't hold out for long in the Nine Helllands.
He knew that Zhao Wu was going to enter the Changing Fortune Tower, just to find out about Shenteng. It's a little strange to say, so many great cultivators don't get their hands on Shen Teng first, because it's a thing that moves the whole body. If one of the great cultivators of one side made the first move, then the other forces would definitely not sit idly by. It's a delicate balance that no one dares to break first.
Therefore, a small person like Zhao Wu is useful.
Chen Xi speculated that among the students of the Sixth Academy of the Outer Sect who participated in the internal examination this time, many, many were inserted by various forces. The reason why Zhao Wu didn't dare to act rashly against him was because he was afraid of whether there was any force behind him. The Ninth Son of the Holy Emperor, which one of them is not hiding any great means?
Only Chen Xi himself knows that he has no background.
Yes, it's just a heart of revenge.
Because of this, he was more eager than others to know what Shenteng was. I still remember that ten years ago, when the loyal servant Lao Jiu Ye took him out to kill him, he told him that if he wanted revenge, he would have to get God.
It's been ten years, and he's been working hard and forbearance for ten years for this goal.
In front of him is the Hall of Discipline.
Chen Xi did not hesitate and strode in.
"I'll Be Ordained"
He said.
But there was no one in the hall of discipline.
Chen Xi frowned slightly and looked around. The Precept Hall is built halfway up the mountain, which is actually a huge cave. The cave extends in all directions, and there are forty-nine stone caves in it. Each cave represents a kind of punishment. Chen Xi raised his head and found that there was a huge disc as smooth as jade at the top of the cave, with a diameter of two meters. He looked up and could see himself in the disc.
"Your name is Chen Xi, and you are willing to be punished on behalf of Ding Mei, the first class teacher of the Qingwu Academy?"
The voice came from nowhere, with a coldness, without any human air.
"Yes"
Chen Xi nodded.
"When you enter the precept hall, you must first sign the certificate of life and death. ”
When the voice sounded again, a piece of the ground in front of Chen Xi suddenly rose, and there was a piece of paper on it, on which a lot of words were written, and a brush was hanging next to it, but there was no inkstone ink.
Chen Xi looked down at the words written on the paper, to the effect that he voluntarily entered the Discipline Hall to be punished, the destiny of life and death, and the little Mantian Sect was not responsible. He lifted the brush and felt a pain in his fingers. It was as if some sharp thorn had pierced his fingertips, and then a drop of blood quickly reached the tip of the pen, and the red was shocking.
Chen Xi was surprised, but he didn't say anything, and signed his name on the document with a brush.
"Let's go"
The voice appeared coldly again: "The first door from the left is the Ice Room. You were supposed to take the forty-nine precepts, but the dean himself changed the order, and you only need to survive twelve hours in the ice chamber to be considered atoned for. ”
Chen Xi nodded and strode towards the first stone cave on the left.
The cave was extremely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Chen Xi tentatively took a few steps forward, and suddenly felt shocked.
A sword stabbed him in the back of the heart.
Electric flint.
For no reason.
