Qingyang Sect, Wuxiao Peak, guarding the competition scene.

At the four corners of the east, west, north and south, there are four stone pillars.

At the top of the four stone pillars, there is a glazed pearl.

Originally, people didn't care what it was for.

Now at night, by the bright moonlight, the glass pearl illuminates the entire ring in two columns and three rows.

Standing in a relatively remote corner, Chen Changying returned here, and the system information almost did not stop along the way.

In addition to the eye attribute has reached the first level of spiritual products and unlocked new abilities.

The muscles and bones and skin attributes have also reached the verge of breakthrough.

[Muscles and bones: the third order of the mortal product (28/30) - copper skin and iron bones (strength can carry the tripod, move like a dragon)]

With this in mind, he looked up and glanced at the situation on the six rings.

The original six defenders, Lou Daowen, Bai Jiang, Qi Taisheng, Wan Yulong, An Yuanfeng, and Wei Changsong, are all still there.

Then, he suddenly felt something strange.

The competition in each ring continued, but compared to the morning, the movements of these six people seemed to be a little stiff, and they did not have the agility they had before.

Is it because there are too many consecutive competitions?

But it still doesn't feel right.

Just as Chen Changying was about to take a closer look, a greeting suddenly came from his ears, "Senior Brother Chen, why did you come here at this hour." ”

Looking at the voice, Cui Lihu, Chu Shaosheng, and Zhao Huai's three old friends walked over one after another.

There was a bit of surprise on his face.

As for Chen Changying, he was actually a little surprised that the other party would appear here.

I remember that when I went out to practice, I couldn't touch them at all, and the team ranking points were only a few tens from beginning to end.

It didn't look like he had suddenly started working hard, so he couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you guys here?" ”

Hearing this question, Cui Lihu, who was in the lead, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it." My uncle forced us to come here because they wanted us to stay here for three hours a day, and even if we didn't go up to compete, we had to stop and watch. ”

Speaking of which, the expressions of the three of them were like frosted eggplants.

I knew in my heart that Cui Lihu and the others were not the material for cultivation.

But before the trial, they also had the realm cultivation of the late stage of qi refining.

Even if it was forcibly raised, it was already ranked in the middle or so among the many inner disciples.

As a result, I only got a few points in the end, and I was completely at the bottom.

Chen Changying could basically imagine how angry the five elders were when they learned the news.

It's no surprise that this is now required.

Glancing at the three of them helplessly, Chen Changying couldn't help but say, "The last time you teamed up to go out to practice, even if you were at the bottom. It's really outrageous to take a few tens of points in such a long time. ”

If someone else said so, as the second generation of immortals who did not worry about the future of eating and drinking, they might directly speak out.

But when these words came out of Senior Brother Chen's mouth, they couldn't help but scratch the back of their necks.

Cui Lihu, who was in the lead, even showed a little cowardice.

Seeing this scene, Chen Changying raised his eyebrows slightly, and realized that there was probably something else in it.

In the next second, Chu Shaosheng on the side had already opened his mouth to explain: "I only took a few dozen trial points, in fact, there is a reason. On the way, we suddenly met the female disciple of Sword Valley that Senior Brother Cui had in mind. ”

"Later, in order to help Senior Brother Cui pursue the happiness of the rest of his life, he went straight to the past."

“……”

This is really in line with the style of doing things like my old friends.

If that's the case, Chen Changying can understand.

He shook the other party's eyes, and said briefly tentatively: "Look at Lihu's appearance, the matter between Ling and the junior sister of Sword Valley"

coughed lightly twice, and his face showed a joy that could not be concealed.

With a little smugness, Cui Lihu responded: "Almost." Later, I'm going to get a job in the Foreign Affairs Cabinet, and it's time to take care of myself. ”

The Foreign Affairs Pavilion is responsible for handling all the affairs of the sect in the secular world.

It doesn't need to be too high in realm cultivation.

For Cui Lihu and others, it is indeed a good place to go.

Hearing this explanation, Zhao Huai next to him hurriedly answered: "Then if that's the case, Senior Brother Cui, won't you be able to go with us again in the future, a place like Drunken Flower Stream." ”

His expression was slightly stunned, and the beautiful life of the past seemed to emerge in front of him.

Immediately afterward, those beautiful scenes vanished in an instant.

Cui Lihu subconsciously shuddered, and quickly opened his mouth.

But before he could speak, the figure in his heart quickly appeared in front of him.

In the end, he just snorted, "What can't you go here." There are so many delicacies in the drunken flower stream, I just happen to be able to take Senior Sister Ling with me. ”

"Senior Sister Ling will definitely understand me."

For this kind of speech with a certain amount of sugar, Chu Shaosheng and Zhao Huai directly rolled their eyes.

This ended the topic unanimously.

Seeing that his old friend has changed, Chen Changying is also happy for him.

After chatting for a while, he looked at the ring not far away, and remembered that Cui Lihu and the others had also been standing here for a while, and couldn't help asking: "How do I feel that Wei Changsong, who is guarding the ring, is weird." ”

Following Senior Brother Chen's words, he glanced over there.

Chu Shaosheng's gaze slanted slightly, and he replied, "Oh, you said they, it's all just a mirror image." The deity had already gone back to rest. ”

"According to the elder's instructions, the disciples guarding the ring need to be present for six hours a day, and the rest of the time can be arranged by themselves, and can be replaced by their own mirror images."

The current Wei Changsong and others are just mirror images?

It's normal to think about it.

If they were to stay in the ring for twelve hours, it would probably be a few days, and everyone would be wasted.

However, this brings up another problem.

Thinking of this, Chen Changying continued to ask: "In my opinion, there should be a big gap in strength between the mirror image and the deity, what will happen if the mirror image is defeated by the challenger." ”

For Cui Lihu and others, staying here is simply a kind of torment.

But the relevant rules are still very clear.

Without the slightest pause, Chu Shaosheng, one of the three, replied again: "During the rest of the deity, victory and defeat will not be recorded. However, it will still count as a valid number. ”

Nodding secretly, Chen Changying finally figured out the relevant situation.

Although he will certainly not take on the stage in the near future, it is necessary to make some preparations in advance.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that even at night, there were still so many inner disciples gathered here.

Eyes shifted from the ring to the light curtain that counted the number of challenges.

When he first came, it wasn't long since the competition had just begun.

Only a dozen people recorded the number of valid attempts.

Even his own zero data can be on the list.

Now, he looks down from the top.

A name that is not familiar but not unfamiliar immediately comes into view.

[Third place, Qian Yingying, 13 times of challenges.] 】

How could it be her?

At the beginning, the shopkeeper had clearly told himself that his daughter had come to Qingyang Sect some time ago and was preparing to start cultivating.

And I hope to help take care of one or two.

As a result, who would have thought that the other party had just arrived, and he would be able to be on the list.

Even if this is only a list of the number of challenges, it is enough to prove that he should have a good life in the sect.

It seems that there is no need to help with the lighting yourself.

In addition, the top 100 on the list have accumulated two attempts.

Because the disciples guarding the ring have not been replaced for the time being, Zhou Yuan probably still hasn't challenged.

I just don't know if Senior Sister Jiang has been here.

As he pondered, there was a commotion in the crowd ahead.

The party Qian Yingying that Chen Changying just thought of was still there, and he had just stepped into the ring now.

Even Cui Lihu said casually: "In the past, the most beautiful person in our Qingyang Sect should be Senior Sister Jiang, but people are too cold and don't like to talk to others, plus now you are closer to Senior Brother Chen." ”

"I don't know how many disciples have broken their hearts."

"What is the name of this new disciple now?"

"Money." Looking at the woman who has not seen her for many days and seems to have changed somewhat, Chen Changying blurted out his debut.

Nodding, Cui Lihu agreed: "That's right, money."

！！！

Just as he was about to repeat the name, Cui Lihu suddenly turned to look at Senior Brother Chen beside him, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

The reactions of the other two immortal second generations were also similar.

The expressions on their faces were rich, and their eyes revealed a fierce curiosity.

Chu Shaosheng was the first to speak: "Senior Brother Chen, you are the first to get the moon near the water, does it have anything to do with that new disciple?" ”

The building near the water gets the moon first, such a strange word can only show that the other party's special habits have been committed again.

As soon as you get excited, some unexpected words will pop out of your mouth.

Without explaining in too much detail, Chen Changying said in a normal tone: "It's nothing, I've only been in contact with it a few times before." ”

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and they always felt unbelievable.

But since Senior Brother Chen didn't want to say more, they didn't ask anymore.

Anyway, wait a little longer, and the truth will be revealed.

Turning her eyes to the ring where Qian Yingying was, what she was currently fighting was a mirror image of Wei Changsong.

In the depths of his eyes, a miniature innate eight array diagram was faintly revealed.

[Eye: Spirit Product 1st Order (2/100) - Copy (Improve eyesight, visual action analysis, see the flow of aura)]

According to Chen Changying's original plan, he wanted to use the new ability unlocked by this eye attribute on Wei Changsong's body.

After all, the other party has a connection with the people of the Impermanence Sect.

Let's see if we can analyze why the other party's ability has improved so quickly.

However, the end result was somewhat disappointing.

I don't know if it's because the target is just a mirror, or because the current replication capabilities are still insufficient.

It didn't work as well as it should.

So, he turned to look at Qian Yingying on the other side.

In the current competition, the opponent is on the side that is absolutely at a disadvantage.

However, Qian Yingying seems to be able to mobilize a certain internal strength in her body.

Whether it is counterattacking or defending, the internal strength will be layered on top of each other, which greatly enhances the actual combat ability.

At the beginning, Chen Changying received a side kick from the opponent, and the reason why his arm was slightly numb was caused by that internal strength.

At first, he didn't know how this worked.

Now the relevant internal strength operation skills, through the ability to copy, have been deeply imprinted in his mind.

As a result, he also understood that a heavy internal strength could increase Qian Yingying's own strength by 30%.

Double internal strength, directly double its strength.

As for the limit that Qian Yingying has mastered so far, it should be to exert triple internal strength, which is enough to triple the power of each blow.

Of course, this alone is far from enough to defeat Wei Changsong.

Even if it was just a mirror image of Wei Changsong who was present.

It was probably only a cup of tea before she was easily defeated.

The list of the number of challenges on the light curtain also changed immediately.

[Second place, Qian Yingying, 14 times of challenges.] 】

Obviously, this kind of competition process is enough to be judged as an effective challenge.

The innate eight arrays in the depths of his eyes gradually dissipated.

Chen Changying silently recalled again about the use of internal strength.

……

At noon the next day.

On an ordinary street in Liucheng.

An old woman with a wrinkled face, carrying a bag of food in her hand, turned into an alley with a slow pace.

Twenty minutes later, she reached the end of the alley.

The cloudy eyes seemed to be a little dazed, and they looked back and forth for a moment.

When he was sure that there was no one else around, a light flashed in his eyes.

The original rickety body straightened up again, and the whole person's movements were like taking off a rabbit, easily climbing over the wall more than one person high.

Appeared in the backyard of an abandoned house, and then knocked on the door.

Immediately after, the wooden door slowly opened a crack.

When the man inside saw clearly who was coming, the courtyard door was opened.

While looking back and forth to be wary of the surrounding situation, he let the person in.

Take a long breath of relief and place the food you brought back on the table.

After doing these actions, the old woman rubbed her wrinkled face vigorously.

After about half a minute, the whole appearance changed drastically.

One half of the face is extremely pitiful and beautiful, but the other half of the face has a dark red mark that is not too big, but completely destroys the beauty.

This deliberately disguised woman was none other than Shen Yan.

The brothers, who had been hungry for most of the day, hurriedly stepped forward to divide the food in turn, and then devoured it.

There are vegetables, meat, and wine.

Even if you have to take shelter temporarily, this treatment is enough to be satisfying.

However, while eating, a few people who were a little more delicate found that the boss's reaction didn't seem quite right.

I didn't say a word from the moment I walked into the yard.

As a result, they are eating more slowly.

In the end, Ma Qingsheng, on behalf of the other brothers, asked tentatively: "Boss, is the situation outside not good? ”

Shaking the chopsticks and stopping the chopsticks, the prudence on their faces appeared.

Shen Yan originally planned to wait for everyone to finish the meal happily.

But now, if you don't open your mouth, the brothers will have no intention of eating.

So she chose to tell the truth and said: "The two brothers of the Sha family, Bian Hongju, and Fan Zhao are all dead. There is news that the Hongpeng Gang wants to let all the people who stood on the side of the Giant Horn Alliance be buried last night. ”

Faced with such news, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

One of the brothers couldn't help but ask, "What do the people of the Giant Horn League say, they won't just watch it like this?" ”

Although she was very irritable in her heart, in front of everyone, Shen Yan still maintained her due calm.

She knew that if she messed up, it would only make everyone's situation more dangerous.

Regarding this question, she said in a calm tone: "This matter does not involve people within the Giant Horn Alliance, and no one has come forward to speak out for the time being. ”

"But don't worry, just stay here and get out of the limelight. I'll figure out the rest. ”

In the past, we have encountered difficulties big and small.

Later, under the leadership of Shen Yan, everyone got through the difficulties.

But this time, the incident is obviously far beyond the level of trouble in the past.

As one of the largest gangs in Liucheng, the Hongpeng Gang has at least thousands of people under their command.

Eyes and ears are all over the city.

Since they have already said that they want to be buried with them, they will definitely not give up easily.

In the silence, the other brother seemed to think of something, and asked, "Then do we want to inquire about the news of those heavenly treasures?" ”

Suddenly such words appeared, naturally it was not true, in this case, I was still thinking about the business that was not allowed to be trusted for the time being.

Instead, he wanted to remind his boss in this way that maybe he could seek the help of that immortal cultivator.

Directly ahead, Shen Yan didn't seem to understand the meaning of this, and said in a light tone: "You don't have to worry about that matter, just stay here honestly." ”

The other brothers, however, came to their senses at once.

Now it seems that we can really think of a way to do this.

Just before anyone could speak.

Shen Yan's gaze swept over everyone's expressions, and directly pressed everyone's active thoughts, "That monk, give me a hundred taels of silver to inquire about the news." ”

"Now this money needs to be used to pay for Lao Feng's daughter's medicine, as well as her usual expenses. Why do you think people should take risks to help? ”

"Moreover, the man knew that we were together, but he only contacted me alone. You can't figure out why. ”

Hearing this, everyone was instantly speechless.

One by one, they lowered their heads, and a sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Yan secretly sighed, and said in a new tone: "Actually, it is not necessarily a good thing to ask those monks for help. ”

"Nowadays, it is difficult for us to deal with just worldly things. If we get involved with people in the cultivation world, if we attract other hostile monks, we probably won't have anywhere to hide if we want to. ”

This is not just a simple consolation for one's own brothers.

The handsome boy from the Qingyang Sect found her through means at the beginning.

On the other side, Ma Qingsheng also helped explain: "Yes." The situation in the spiritual world is complicated and unknown. If you ask someone to help, you might end up hurting ourselves. ”

"Everyone believes in the boss, let's eat first."

Hearing this, everyone had no choice but to stop talking and refocus on the food in their hands.
