Chapter Seventy-Five: Suppressing Evil Spirits
This is the second time Chen Xi has come to the Changing Fortune Tower, and the fact that he climbed the four-story tower as a miscellaneous servant in the Outer Sect and finally became a disciple of the Inner Sect has now been widely spread. The newly recruited disciples of the Sixth Academy of the Outer Sect regarded it as a myth, and Chen Xi himself didn't know that his fame was already a bit outrageous.
Xiao Mantianzong intends to promote him as a role model, so now almost the whole of Qingzhou knows the story of a young man from Xiaomantianzong who was born as a miscellaneous servant and soared into the sky. The direct consequence of this was that a large number of children from the Han Sect flocked to the Little Mantian Sect, and in their opinion, Chen Xi opened the door to a new world for them. Behind this gate is the Cotai Strip, and when they walk up, they can get a prestigious position and a powerful cultivation.
This is a good thing for the Little Mantian Sect, but it is also a troublesome thing. During this period of introductory teaching, the outer sect tried his best to explain to those cold disciples who came in that it was not easy to enter the Transformation Tower. It's not that you can change your fate just by entering the Fortune Transformation Tower, you must first be tested to prove that you have the potential to practice.
The moment Chen Xi and the five of them walked out in the new Inner Sect uniforms, the disciples of the Outer Sect who had been waiting here for a long time began to become restless. Many people straightened their necks and looked forward, wondering what the famous Chen Xi looked like. Many old disciples of the outer sect couldn't help but show off to the newcomers around them: "I used to be friends with Chen Xi!"
They have long forgotten that they looked down on Chen Xin's past.
"See, the one at the front is Chen Xi. I could see at the beginning that this person was by no means a thing in the pool. Someone like him is going to make a difference, you see I'm right. I heard that he won the first place in the monthly exam of the Inner Sect, do you know what that means?"
The newcomer next to him couldn't help but ask, "What does it represent?"
"Uh...... It's pretty powerful anyway. Why are you asking so much!"
"Senior brother, how can you become a person like Chen Xi. ”
"In the future, if you follow me, I promise you will become like that!"
On the other side, when several girls who got together saw Chen Xi come out, they couldn't help but go crazy. There was a very round and lovely girl who even squatted down excitedly and didn't dare to continue looking: "I knew that he should be such a man, more perfect than I imagined." But I didn't dare to look at it, I was afraid that after reading it, I wouldn't forget what to do. ”
Sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, who doesn't fantasize about having a perfect relationship? And Chen Xi didn't know that he had been molded into a hero, and he had become a fantasy in the hearts of many female disciples of the Outer Sect.
Zhou Jiuzhi, who was standing on a high place, watched Chen Xi walk through the crowd, and he was very happy. He looked up and saw a young eagle flying in the sky. The eagle hovered and guarded not far away, and the young eagle flew faster and more steadily. Then let out a particularly crisp and loud cry and flew into the distance.
Chen Xi looked at those excited disciples of the outer sect, but he thought of something else. It seems that Xiao Mantianzong is already building momentum, and it is also a means for Xiao Mantianzong to deal with the disaster that will soon follow. Whoever came up with this solution has to say that it is very clever and cruel.
Xiao Mantianzong began to publicize with the help of Chen Xi, so that more and more people flocked here. There are thousands of people gathered outside the sect every day outside the sect, and the Little Mantian Sect does not say that it will accept disciples or accept it, and it hangs the appetite of these young people so that they cannot leave. If the forces of all parties want to attack the Little Mantian Sect, they have to take care of the thousands of people outside.
Perhaps the high-level of the Little Mantian Sect still firmly believed that those forces would not dare to attack blatantly, so they would let these poor disciples become shields. But what if those people have no scruples? Thinking that many of these people had been attracted to the Little Mantian Sect because of their own success, Chen Xi felt a sense of guilt.
He looked at Zhou Jiuzhi's residence and saw the old man standing on the third floor and looking at him. He always felt that Zhou Jiuzhi should have something to say to himself, but he refused to say it. This feeling became stronger and stronger after Chen Xi entered the Inner Sect, and he went to find Zhou Jiuzhi, but the other party obviously didn't want to sue him for anything.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi suddenly left the team and swept up to the third floor where Zhou Jiuzhi was. This move caused those outer sect disciples to exclaim in surprise, after all, in their eyes, the dean of the Qingwu Academy was an untouchable being.
Zhou Jiuzhi's eyes flickered, and he shook his head: "You should go to the Fortune Transformation Tower instead of me." ”
Chen Xi leaned against the railing and asked, "Those people outside the sect who came to study were deliberately brought in?"
Zhou Jiuzhi didn't expect Chen Xi to ask this, he nodded: "This is the order of the sect master, since the day you entered the inner sect, you have actually been preaching to the outside world, but you have not been sued." ”
"Let them be shields?"
Chen Xi asked again.
Zhou Jiuzhi looked at Chen Xi and said seriously: "It's not for you and me to call the shots, the sect naturally has a reason to do this." You may think that the Imperial Capital City is far away from here, so it will take some time for those people to arrive, which only means that your knowledge is too low. Every minute you have now is precious, because this may be the last time you enter the tower. ”
He looked down and was silent for a while: "The sect will never let the disciples know that there will be disasters in the near future, because many of these disciples are from local wealthy families, and these disciples are also the shields of the sect." You may think that this is unkind and immoral, but now for the sect, no way to protect itself can be abandoned. ”
Chen Xi frowned: "This is not what you are talking about. ”
Zhou Jiu pointed out: "But this is the truth. ”
He pointed to the disciples: "They don't know what the future holds, but you do. Once the people in the imperial capital city arrive in Qingzhou, you don't want to practice in peace. I know you've decided to go to the Priesthood, just in time to avoid this battle...... Go ahead, wait until you come back after this battle, if we are still there, the Little Mantian Sect is still there, you still have to continue what you have to do. ”
"Dean, you ......"
Chen Xi wanted to ask if you knew my identity, but this sentence was not asked in the end.
……
……
Climbing the tower is a very wonderful memory for Chen Xi, and when he sees this tower, he has to think of a person...... Willow washes the dust. It was a perfect woman, and a woman who should have had nothing to do with him, but it was because of the guard where she sat cross-legged in the Fortune Tower, and because of the dreamlike scene on the stone steps of the tower...... Chen Xi always has a faint shadow of her in his heart.
However, this time the tower is different from the last time, after Chen Xi and the five of them entered the first floor of the tower, they were led by a little scholar to the middle position and stopped, the little scholar took out a gossip plate and played with it a few times, the gossip plate immediately rotated, and the white beads on the roof of the first floor of the tower immediately emitted a burst of brilliance, and then everyone felt a trance, and then saw the things in front of them when they had arrived in a strange place.
This little scholar is one of the two scholars beside the sect master of the inner sect, he looks only ten years old, wearing a white robe, which is very well cut, and looks a little temperament that does not match his age. He didn't seem to be willing to speak, so he pointed to the two portals of the five-story pagoda and said, "The fourth and fourth and fifth enter here to practice for seven days, and I will take you out after seven days." ”
"Seven days?"
Xi Xuan couldn't help but ask: "In the past, the time for entering the Fortune Transformation Tower in the top five of the monthly exam was not so short. ”
The little scholar snorted: "If you don't want to, you can leave now." ”
Xi Xuan was slightly angry: "Why is it so rude to talk at such a young age?"
The little scholar looked at her and said seriously: "I have nothing to do with you, why should I be polite to you? If I am polite to you, what will you give me? Or if I am polite to you, will you die for me? If not, why should I be polite to you? Or that sentence, if you feel that you are at a loss, you can leave." ”
Xi Xuan's temper was already a little short-tempered, and when she saw him talking like this, she couldn't help but want to scold. Chen Xi pulled her sleeve from behind her and shook her head slightly. Xi Xuan stomped her foot hatefully and turned to look at the layout in the five-story tower.
"The third and second go into the six-story pagoda to practice, and the first one enters the seven-story pagoda...... These fifth, sixth, and seventh floors are different from the lower four floors, and do not need to withstand the test of stone steps. But your time is seven days, and you must come out after seven days. ”
After the little scholar said this, he turned around and left.
After he left, a disciple couldn't help but scold: "It's just a little scholar next to the sect master, but he looks even higher than the sect master." ”
Xi Xuan said angrily: "It's just that the dog's eyes look down on people." ”
Chen Xi didn't bother to say anything, Zhou Jiuzhi said that time was limited, so he had to grasp these times. Saying goodbye to a few other people, Chen Xi quickly climbed to the seventh floor. There was no portal on the seven-story tower, and Chen Xi looked up at first glance after coming up, and found that the beads hanging on the roof emitted a very soft purple light.
He had suspected that the beads hanging on each of the nine floors of the Alteration Tower were the legendary Kunlun Treasure Nine-Colored Stones. But he didn't feel any special aura on these beads, and they seemed to be unremarkable. But at least what Chen Xi knew was that these beads had an extremely strong healing effect.
He walked around the circle and found nothing unusual on the stone wall. There are no drawers popping up, which means that there are no advanced mental methods available here. With a thought, he took out the exercise book given to him by the sect master of the Inner Sect, thinking that this was an opportunity.
He didn't dare to practice the exercises that his father had instilled in him back then, and the exercises in Qiyang Valley didn't match his physique, so all he had used so far was a set of Aoki sword techniques. It's just that up to now, this Aoki sword trick still hasn't shown anything strange.
Obviously, the sect master gave him this exercise to test him, but it was not a good thing for Chen Xi. In the future, he can practice [suppressing evil spirits] openly, and he doesn't have to worry about being spied on.
He opened this exercise book and studied it carefully, only to calm down for a moment, and immediately noticed the changes in his body. This is not the change brought to him by the exercises, but the seven-story pagoda...... When Chen Xi was studying the exercises, his internal strength naturally ran in his body, and before he could run it, the meridians of his whole body ached. It was as if something far thicker than the meridians was forcibly pulling the meridians apart.
Broaden the meridians!
Chen Xi immediately thought of the beauty of this seven-story pagoda, limited to the smallness of the meridians, Chen Xi can now call on the heaven and earth vitality very little, once the meridians are broadened, it is equivalent to the realm for him, but the power of cultivation has increased a lot!
Move it.
Chen Xi immediately stood up, released the flat pole and began to practice the Aoki Sword Technique, and then deliberately integrated the [Suppressing Evil Spirits] technique into it when practicing the sword technique, and then he was surprised to find that ...... [Suppressing Evil Spirits] and [Aoki Sword Technique] were so compatible! It was as if these two exercises were originally one, but they were just split into two. Now that the two exercises are fused together, Chen Xi actually has a feeling of being reborn!
