Chapter 14: The Trial, Begin!
Peach blossom, the flower of the Rosaceae tree, generally blooms in March and April.
But the peach blossoms here have just bloomed a day after this Lantern Festival.
There were many scattered candidates who walked to the trial room on the west side of the peach forest together, some disappeared when they walked into the fork in the road, and some triggered the mechanism and were put in a trap.
Silence returned to the woods.
But it won't be quiet forever, at least not during this exam.
A rustling sound came from the forest, the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves, fallen leaves that had not been buried in the soil last autumn and winter.
"It's 10:30 a.m., and the sun is in the east, so we'll just make sure the sun is on our back." Guan Bowen broke the silence and said.
The three of them walked mechanically to the west, the peach blossom tree beside them was constantly moving quietly, and half an hour ago, the three of them were misled by the moving peach tree into the east side of the forest and saw the battle.
It turned out that the three of them were also hiding in the tree just now, and they had watched all the things that happened to Xu Jifeng's three families throughout the whole process, and the faces of the three of them changed unpredictably for a while, and their mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
Guan Bowen was the first to come back to his senses and say something to break the silence.
Xiao Yuanzi opened his mouth and said: "Hey, it's all my fault, I forgot what my father said, the tree in this peach blossom forest will move quietly, if you only look ahead when you walk, you will be deceived by the slowly shifting peach blossom tree." ”
"Fortunately, Bowen still remembered to look at the sun overhead, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find the door even if he went to the trial room."
"However, it's better than those scattered people who have just broken into the world of cultivating immortals, and I don't know how many people in front of me have lost their way."
Thinking that the three of them were still much better than Sanren after all, I felt a little comforted.
Guan Bowen nodded, "It's impossible to win over the top ten families, but if you can pass the trial before other scattered people, maybe you can get a little reward." ”
"You look at this table, at worst if you get 1 Taiqing Pearl, you can exchange it for 10 spirit stones, and it is also a beginning for us to accumulate resources, in fact, it is not difficult to accumulate resources step by step in Taiqing Academy to improve our strength."
"Heh, is it impossible to win over the top ten families? I haven't fought them yet, how do I know? Liu Ze waited for Guan Bowen to finish speaking, and couldn't help but sneer, "Don't look at me with such eyes, the top ten families are very strong, we all saw it just now, I know they are very strong." ”
"At the same age as us, many of them are even younger than us, but their strength is higher than some of the elders in our Immortal Cultivation Village, not to mention us, of course."
Then he seemed to remember something, and then he spoke: "By the way, do you know, I heard that there are many scattered people who have volunteered to be servants of the family after graduating from school in exchange for resources. I really think it's hilarious. ”
"I just don't know how strong those scattered generation who are willing to be servants are compared to the generation of our parents who formed Xiuxian Village with friends."
He smiled, a little miserably, not the smile of a fifteen-year-old boy, at this moment, he seemed to be much older.
The three of them walked for more than ten minutes, and finally found the trial room, the five rooms were all made of thatch, each of the five rooms was in the five corners of the regular pentagon, and the name of the room was hung at the door, [strength] [root bone] [sensitivity] [understanding] [perception], and there was a senior brother or sister sitting outside the door, all of whom were in charge of searching the body on the ship.
No one lined up at the door, and the three of them were very happy and walked to the nearest root bone room together.
The senior brother in front of the door of the Root Bone Room glanced at them, clicked a few times on the jade slip, and let the three of them in.
The three of them were a little confused, they didn't know what the root bone room was testing, and the senior brother at the door didn't explain it, but since they let themselves in, it was not easy to bargain, so they had to take one step at a time.
The first thing that catches your eye in the room is a large circle that occupies the floor of the room, this circle is red, and there are 10 stools in the circle, 2 of which have been occupied.
They were ready to sit down on the stool like the two of them, and as soon as they stepped into the circle, a hot breath that could burn off the skin came to their faces, and the three of them quickly withdrew as if they were soaking in a hot spring and stretching out their feet to test the temperature.
Surprised looks covered the faces of the three of them at the same time, but a man and a woman in the formation seemed to sit upright unaffected.
"This ...... Can't the two of them feel the heat? Xiao Yuanzi couldn't help but exclaim, she was surprised for a moment and then walked straight to the door of the room, and asked the senior brother directly: "Senior brother, this trial is very hot, ......?" ”
"Yes, if you stick in for 15 minutes, I'll give you a Taiqing pearl." Senior Brother nodded.
Xiao Yuanzi's scalp was numb, just now he stepped in with his left foot first, and now the sole of his left foot still feels pain after being burned, how can he last for 15 minutes with such a high temperature.
Guan Bowen and Liu Ze inside also heard the words of the senior brother, the two glanced at each other, and stepped into it again, but they were both scalded back immediately like just now.
"Shhh...... Ha ......" Both of them couldn't help but gasp a few times in an attempt to ease the pain under their feet.
"Senior brother, how many degrees are there in that formation, why is it so hot......" Xiao Yuanzi looked at his senior brother pitifully and asked.
"150 degrees."
“!!!”
The three of them were so surprised that they couldn't speak, 100 degrees of boiling water will still burn off a layer of skin, this 150 degree temperature may be able to suffocate people directly, and I don't know how the two people sitting inside endured it, it was impossible.
Guan Bowen thought of this, and stared more and more seriously at the man and woman sitting in it with his eyes closed, the woman's appearance was not bad, her slender figure, her long hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, the broken hair on her forehead was stuck to her skin due to sweat at this time, and there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows with her eyes closed; The man is the one who wears glasses, and before sailing, he didn't know how to quickly put the son of the family who was lying down with a man who cultivated his body, and his medium-length hair was draped behind his neck, and at this time he was also stained with sweat and stuck to the back of his neck, and he had taken off his glasses at this time, otherwise the glasses would be deformed by heat.
When Guan Bowen was thinking about whether to give up this question, Liu Ze strode in, this time he no longer stretched out his foot to try, but stepped in with his left foot, and did not let his skin react to the heat, and forced his right foot in.
"Ah!!!!h Liu Ze was so hot that the pain was unbearable, and he saw him kneeling on the ground, his body gradually bending, forming a kneeling posture.
"Liu Ze! What are you doing! You can't stand it! Come out! Xiao Yuanzi hurriedly ran to Liu Ze and shouted.
But her voice seemed to be out of the clouds at this time, covered by Liu Ze's own shouts, and she couldn't hear what Xiao Yuanzi said at all.
Besides, even if he could hear it, he wouldn't do what she said, since he had made up his mind to get ahead in this Immortal Cultivation Academy, he had to face the difficulties!
Guan Bowen couldn't bear to pin his head to the side, but his ears were still filled with Liu Ze's wail, and a slightly scorching smell came from him, Guan Bowen was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
