Chapter Seventy-Six: Rules for the Big Examination, Domestic and Foreign
Hualu Mountain, Tongfeng, Nine Ice Palace.
A hurried month has passed, and the day of the big exam is getting closer and closer.
There are still a few days left, and it will be the official big exam, and today, there are also things related to the big exam in the Jinlan Palace.
The 590th Hualu Immortal Disciple Examination was held on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and as soon as the main rules came out, they surprised all the peaks.
According to previous years, the test method of confrontation and promotion was adopted, and occasionally Linghu Zhao and Mo Yingsheng presided over it, and there would be some different tricks, but most of them were not far from the theme, and they would be carried out in the inner realm of Hualu.
But this time, Ling Hu Zhao's idea was to divide the reference disciples into two groups, one within the territory and one outside the country, and the venue changed from narrow to wide, leading directly to the outside world.
The territory is the same as usual, it is a qualifying format.
However, this overseas can be said to be the first time in Hualu's history, beyond the bold attempt, in the eyes of the elders, only Ling Huzhao can have such ideas.
"Ah Zhao, it turns out that you are in and out of Tu Mountain these days, is this purpose?" Elder Qiu was also surprised, Elders of Several Peaks gathered together like this, she was the first one who couldn't help but ask.
Ling Hu Zhao calmed down, holding a folding fan and gently raising it on his chest, "I'm Tu Shan, but I didn't run for nothing, isn't it good?"
"But junior brother, you're too risky, in case you ......" Bai Liusheng also showed a slightly worried expression.
"It's okay, senior brother, as long as Qi Ci is willing to help, this overseas trial will definitely be successful. Ling Hu Zhao said, his eyes glancing at Feng Qici who was sitting on it.
But seeing that he was cold, there was no wave in his heart, and his expression was very cold.
"What do you want to do with Qiqi?" asked Elder Yun.
Ling Hu Zhao snapped, closed the folding fan, stood up and wandered around the hall, and said, "Senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior sisters, my purpose this time is very simple, not only to test the disciples, but also to do our best for the Six Realms, this way can not only allow our Hualu's children to get personal training, but also find the artifact for Hualu, to avoid the demon god and other forces from making a move, wouldn't it be a good idea to strike first?"
"But Senior Brother Linghu, you always feel a little risky like this, and I don't feel safe. Mo Yingsheng said.
Ling Hu Zhao smiled, "How can it be unsafe? Didn't we just divide the disciples who can participate in the big exam? They are all superior in strength, so many people are bent on finding an artifact, and on the way together to overcome all difficulties, but it is a good trial, why is it not safe? Besides, since I have done this, I will definitely monitor it to the end to prevent danger from happening." ”
"That's why you need Brother Xuanzun's help?"
"Exactly!" Ling Hu Zhao approached them, conjured up a small box-like vessel, and continued, "Qici, I need you to seal this immortal box, and with a little effort on it, the artifact that is contained in it will not be opened, and it will not be unlocked until Hualu comes, and once which disciple takes the lead in sealing the artifact into his own immortal box, and also puts it into the dantian and brings it back to Hualu safely, then he will be the winner of this big test." ”
Feng Qici's eyebrows raised, as if he had thought of something, sucked the fairy box out of thin air, took it in his hand and looked at it, and squeezed out a sentence for a long time, "You have a heart." ”
"Finding the artifact is an urgent matter, and now it is ready to fly, this time a winner will be selected at home and abroad, and he can be qualified to enter Chunfeng Pavilion. ”
Ling Huzhao's plan to "conspire" with Tu Shan these days, the so-called use of the power of Xuanji and Tu Shan, is just to find an artifact.
It's just that Ling Hu Zhao is very smart, he plans very shrewdly, and the excuses accepted by the public are sufficient, and this big test seems to be very interesting.
"It's the big exam in a few days, how do you want to decide who is outside and who is inside?" Elder Bai asked.
Ling Hu Zhao's face was relaxed, and under the baptism of everyone's eyes, he said, "Wouldn't it be fair to let the disciples draw lots?"
Feng Qici didn't seem to want to pay attention to his words, and turned his head to look at Qiu Shanying, "Senior sister, these days, how is the situation of the Wufeng disciples with you?"
"Everything is going well, many disciples have completed one test after another excellently, breaking through themselves, I feel that this big test, there should be many disciples with good qualifications to stand out, and it is also a guarantee for the Six Realms to add a peace. Qiu Shanying nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone was relieved to hear what she said.
However, Mo Yingsheng was a little unhappy, looking at Qiu Shanying and said, "Senior sister, it's true that the disciples of your four peaks are all powerful, but the only powerful disciple of the junior brother has been confined, I'm afraid that Huofeng has no hope this time." ”
It is said that it is a contest between disciples, but in fact, every big exam has the weight of immortal masters and elders, which is a very beneficial condition for elders who want to become a great treasure and become a Xuanzun.
And Mo Yingsheng and Yun Tong originally had high hopes for Dongfang Mo, but they never thought that this kind of thing would happen......
"Having said that, Qici, at that time, the gate of the immortal realm will send some immortals with high prestige to come over, maybe the Dongfang Sect Master is no exception, how should we explain to him at that time, his daughter's helplessness today?" Elder Yun was a little worried about the situation, so since Mo Yingsheng said that, he has been keeping a straight face.
Feng Qici looked at the fairy box and was coldly silent.
"Tell the truth, what else can we do? Besides, it's not that we're sorry for Dongfang Mo, this punishment is already a big deal. Ling Hu Zhao went back to his seat, and it didn't matter.
"Yes, I also think that Dongfang Mo alone is fully responsible for this matter, although this turmoil is not big, but the impact on the psychology of the disciples is still not small, for the sake of the success of the big exam and Hualu's style, we don't need to taboo the broken intestines, right?" Qiu Shanying said.
"Okay, this matter has been settled, so don't mention it again. Feng Qici stood up and slowly walked down the steps. "If the elders are fine, go back and settle the disciples first, so that they can adjust their mentality and prepare for the big exam. ”
The Five Peak Elders all glanced at each other, then got up and politely left the Nine Ice Palace.
Only Ling Hu Zhao will not leave.
"What are you still keeping?" Feng Qici asked coldly.
"Qici, why are you so indifferent? I still have something to talk to you about alone. Ling Hu Zhao stepped forward with a smile and said jokingly.
Feng Qici glanced at him, with a heavy chill, and said softly, "It just so happens that I also want to ask, which artifact are you going to ask them to find?"
Ling Hu Zhao sighed, opened the folding fan, and began to sway lazily, while saying, "If you pick up the sixteen artifacts...... We have the ghost sound bell in our hands, the Finger Heaven Sword, the Zhumeng Bow, and the Pangu Axe, plus the Peony Seat; Tu Shan keeps the four pieces and the Langshan Chain, the Red Peony Bead, and the Shennong Ding that were taken away by the Demon God, which together are eleven pieces of the existing one, Xian Leqin is the first of the sixteen artifacts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find it for a while, and the Qingxuan Mirror, the Duzun Pagoda and the Drunken Sheng Pot are heard to be in the hands of others, and the only thing left is not only, the Liudan Banner?"
Feng Qici's slightly cold eyes swept towards him instantly, "It means, you have been looking for Tu Shan for so long, and the artifact you found is the Liudan Banner?"
Linghu Zhao nodded lazily, "Well, otherwise you say, which one is better to find?"
Feng Qici didn't want to answer coldly at first, but it took a long time before he said, "You released the water this time, it's too obvious." ”
Ling Hu Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully, "Is there one?"
"Did the sick man trick you? Are you so favoritistic?"
"How can a fair person like me succumb to the 'obscenity' of the sick and old?"
Feng Qici's face was very calm, and he didn't mean to discipline him.
Ling Hu Zhao's reaction to Feng Qici was a little strange, he knew that he was putting gold on his face, and when he looked at the rules, he could know that he was releasing water on someone, and his reaction at this time was not quite right.
"Qici, why don't you scold me?"
"What are you scolding for?"
"I have such a bad tone, you should have said me normally, and besides, I was worried that you would oppose my decision this time, but I didn't expect you to be the default attitude? He crossed his chest in indignation and tilted his head to the side.
Feng Qici's coldness was fully embodied at this time, staring at him, "Oh? Then you still hope that my order will not be carried out?"
Ling Hu Zhao suddenly got up and said, "No, how can it be? Your good attitude proves that you support me, there is no other reason!"
"I don't object to your decision this time, not because you planned it well. After saying that, he turned around and walked inside, Ling Hu Zhao pouted, and followed with a dissatisfied face.
"I know, I know, it's because of the little nephew. He was blunt, and he said it with a look of indifference, so Feng Qici's reaction was not so excited.
"I know what you mean, among Hualu's disciples, the only person who can resonate with the artifact is indeed Gong Yan, and the others shouldn't think much about it, but you have made it clear that you want her to find the artifact, and by the way, she won. ”
The words have already been explained, and Ling Huzhao did not deny it, and said bluntly, "Yes, the little nephew is very pleasing, as an uncle, I should always take care of it, not to mention that the sick man always chats with me, and the intention is obvious." ”
"But are you really so sure that she will be a team from abroad?"
Ling Hu Zhao smiled evilly, slightly playful, and a little sinister, "Don't worry, that girl, no matter how she draws it, she will draw a lot from abroad." ”
Feng Qici could clearly feel the evil charm in Ling Hu Zhao's eyes at this moment, the ghost idea has always been on par with Mo Yingsheng, looking at the fairy box in his hand, his eyes looked helpless.
When did he, as a Xuanzun, begin to condone favoritism?
"Qici, I will give each of the disciples outside the country an immortal box to store the Liudan Banner, and I will trouble you to cast a spell to ensure safety. ”
Feng Qici nodded.
"The simplicity of the territory, according to previous years, I hope that this time, can come to an end smoothly. ”
"There are only a few days left, what do you have to instruct, let Mu Ling finish it as soon as possible. Feng Qici paused for a moment and asked again, "Where is the Liudan Banner?"
Ling Hu Zhao suddenly became serious and said, "After measuring for so long, it is still relatively certain." ”
"Where?"
"No, no. ”
Feng Qici's gaze froze on Ling Hu Zhao, and his pupils became even more indifferent, "You let them go to such a dangerous place?"
"Don't get excited, although it is in the court, but it is not said that it is in the territory of the court, but in the periphery, the court is the place where Hualu exiles criminals, so desolate and dilapidated, there should be no trace of the artifact, and they don't need to get close to the court, but to get to the area of the court, even if it is a hundred miles away, it is still difficult. ”
Feng Qici clenched the immortal box in his hand, "Not a hundred miles away, there are still mortals there." ”
"Yes, it is still a place where demons and demons live together, there are always dangers and instability, this is also a good way to test them, the disciples eat and sleep well in this Hualu, and don't go out for a walk, how do you know the hardships of those ancestors when they protect the Six Realms, and how do you know the high hopes we have for them?"
"Does Tu Shan want to meddle in this matter?"
"Hualu big exam, what does it have to do with them?"
"After all, the place you chose is not in the Zhou Realm, and there may be forces of the Thousand Demon Society there, could it be that in the agreement you reached with Tu Shan, there is no article to protect Hualu's disciples?"
Ling Hu Zhao touched his head and said in distress, "It stands to reason that the Gu Ci should let the Thousand Demon Society pay attention, and the Don't Dongtian Protector should also do things well." ”
"This plan can only be carried out by ensuring the safety of the disciples. ”
"Yes, then, if it's okay, I'll go back." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave the Nine Ice Palace.
"I want you to make sure that Gong Yan is safe, and whether she can find the Liudan Banner or not, she must come back intact. ”
Feng Qici's sudden words made Ling Hu Zhao stunned, and his footsteps stopped, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Qici, are you too concerned about your little nephew?"
"Her identity is different in Hualu. ”
Ling Hu Zhao sighed, "Well, even if you don't say it, I won't let her get hurt, this time I released water to her, which changed the track of the entire big exam, you didn't refute, although I am very grateful, but, Qici, you still think about it, you are so concerned about the little master and nephew because of your illness and old age, right?" This time, he walked out of the Nine Ice Palace without looking back.
Feng Qici didn't react, but the confusion in his heart seemed to be growing, because he was sick and old? maybe.
Pharmacy Hall.
"Xiao Yuan, what do you mean by this Ling Fox Elder ?It's so dignified, it's actually going to find an artifact again?" Tu Shan Xianshu was sorting out the herbs with other medicine boys in the courtyard, and Xiao Yuan was also following beside her, thinking of the rules of the big exam she just knew, she couldn't help but complain.
"Sister Gong, this is good for you, you will definitely win, so don't worry about those trivial things. ”
"Hey. She picked up a handful of black medicinal herbs and threw them behind her skillfully, in the basket behind her, "But what if I'm a disciple of the domestic competition?"
"I don't think so, Sister Gong, you were born to find artifacts, so many artifacts are in your hands, you are really one of the luckiest disciples of this Hualu. Xiao Yuan sat on a small stool, and he also neatly arranged the medicinal herbs.
"I'll draw lots tomorrow, I hope to borrow your auspicious words. ”
"You must be fine, if you win, then you can enter the Chunfeng Pavilion that you have always wanted to enter, success or failure is here, Sister Gong, I will always support you!"
Tu Shanxian smiled bitterly, "But this time it seems to be the land of wolves and tigers, and there are no other artifacts as a guide, this is a celibacy battle, and the situation is very different from the previous times." ”
"Oh, Sister Gong. Xiao Yuan got up, walked to her, and picked up a basket of medicinal herbs with force, "Aren't you the most particular about soldiers to block the water and cover the earth? Even if it's a place like Buting, you won't be fine, this is the Hualu big exam, it must be protected by Hualu's people, you can rest assured, and with your strength, it's not a problem to beat a Mo Qianyao now, are you still afraid of any demons?"
Tu Shanxian sighed, demon, I'm not afraid, what I'm afraid of is that my own people will make trouble, who knows if there will be something between the same door because they want to win?
"That's right, Sister Gong, Buting is a desolate place for exiles, and the direction of the Liudan Banner should not be inside, I heard from others that there is a mixed residence about a hundred miles away, and what you have to pay attention to is nothing more than those evil people, and the others are miscellaneous. ”
"You're right. ”
It seems that the sisters have worked hard for so long, and the news of the Liudan Banner should be quite reliable, and it is okay, not only can they retrieve an artifact, but they can also enter the Chunfeng Pavilion to get things, which is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
"Recently, Sister Gong, your strength has grown so much, there must be nothing to worry about, but what I wonder is, how did you manage to reach your heart overnight?" Xiao Yuan put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and couldn't help but ask curiously.
This question made Tu Shanxian Shu feel helpless, last month she "cheated" to get the class cultivation, and the explanation couldn't be explained, under everyone's curiosity, she only gave a sentence of "fate" and did it hastily, and she couldn't help it, so she asked so.
"This heavenly opportunity, don't leak it. ”
Xiao Yuan pouted, "What kind of mystery are you pretending?" Then he buried his head and continued to do what he was doing, and said, "But fortunately, you advanced at a critical moment, otherwise you would not want to take the big exam now, so I said, Sister Gong, you will definitely have a good fortune, so you don't have to worry about the lottery tomorrow." ”
"Well, I'm not worried about that either. ”
"It's just ......" Xiao Yuan paused and asked tentatively, "Sister Gong, haven't you been to see Sister Dongfang for a long time recently?"
The movements in Tu Shan Xianshu's hand stopped for a moment, the expression on his face slowly sank, his eyelids drooped slightly, and a trace of sadness crossed his eyes, "Do you want to say that I am ruthless?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that. ”
"I know, I didn't say anything about you. She put down the work in her hand and walked over to sit beside Xiao Yuan, her face drooping, "Xiao Mo'er is still in confinement, and I don't know if I should go to see her." ”
"Sister Gong. Xiao Yuan put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and took her hand, "Sister Dongfang should really want you to see her, you also know that in the whole Hualu, she only has one friend, you." ”
"When she used me, she didn't know what kind of affection she had for me, and she refused to say why she was so fond of making drugs......?
"Even if she did something wrong, but that day in the Reward and Punishment House, I can see that she is sorry for you, if you are sincere between friends, shouldn't there be no overnight feud?"
Tu Shanxian hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and put his backhand on Xiao Yuan's shoulder, "I don't hate her, I just don't know how to face her, I think it should be embarrassing." ”
"Sister Gong'......"
"What's more, she has been deprived of the right to take the big exam now, and I have to go to the big exam again, she should be unbalanced in her heart, and I am afraid that she will be blamed by her father. ”
"So, Sister Gong, you don't blame her?"
Tu Shanxian smiled, smiling meaninglessly, "Maybe she has a hard time, she just doesn't want to say it, Xiao Mo'er is originally the kind of slow and cold temperament, but she is very good, I have never blamed her for anything." ”
"Do you think this is a betrayal?"
Tu Shanxian shook his head, "No, although I had a real feeling of betrayal at the beginning, but later I found out that this feeling was very weak, it didn't look like a betrayal anymore, Xiao Mo'er used me, but she didn't betray me, these are two different things, I'm not so sad, but I'm still a little disappointed." ”
Xiao Yuan suddenly got up and looked down at Tu Shan Xianshu, "Sister Gong, before the big exam, you should go and see Sister Dongfang." ”
Tu Shanxian blinked and was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Yuan, you are, have you grown up?"
"He's really grown up and more sensible than you. The voice of the sick old man suddenly came, and all the medicine boys and disciples saluted him one after another.
"The disciple has seen the sick and the old!"
Tu Shanxian turned his head and looked at the sick old man coming, and he didn't mean to salute, so he got up and leaned over to him, "Master, what do you mean?"
"That means you're not as good as his spirit bird!"
Tu Shanxian muttered and glanced at Xiao Yuan, "Xiao Yuan is better than me, I admit it, but Master, it's a bit too much for you to say that." ”
"I hope he knows the world, and knows how to be flexible in a specific environment, this is what I observed, unlike you, just a little girl who has not experienced the world, has never experienced anything, is ignorant, and I don't know when I am abducted. "The sick old man's words may sound like reproach, but they are real pampering.
"Is Master talking about my handling of Xiao Mo'er's affairs?"
"Xiao Yuan is right, you are good friends, but you can't just ignore her because of her mistakes, since the incident happened to her being confined, you haven't seen her, can this be called understanding human feelings?"
"That's it!" Xiao Yuan coaxed on the side.
Tu Shanxian glanced at Xiao Yuan playfully, and then said to the sick old man, "Knowing Master, I will deal with it." ”
"Well, also, tomorrow's lottery will be arbitrary, you don't have to worry too much, prepare well, although it is not very dangerous for you to go to the court, but be careful in everything!"
Tu Shan Xianshu nodded a little strangely.
How do you feel that Master's tone of voice is like I will definitely draw a lot from abroad?
