Volume 1 Dragon and Tiger Mountain Seeking the Tao Chapter 11 Introductory Assessment 1
"Daoist Feng Qingzi, are there any restrictions on crossing the river?" someone asked.
The fat Taoist shook his head and said lightly: "As long as you cross the river with bamboo poles, it is no problem if you don't fall into the river, and there are no other restrictions." ”
"Is that time to begin?" asked someone else.
The fat Taoist nodded, shook his sleeves, and a gray rag pocket with a red rope tied to it and an earthy yellow hill appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Mustard Sumeru Storage Bag!" shouted one of the more knowledgeable seekers in the crowd in shock, as if he had seen some rare treasure.
"What is the Mustard Seed Sumeru Storage Bag?" Li Yuan frowned and asked Dong Fatzi beside him.
"It's the space storage bag that the refining master among the cultivators uses the treasures of heaven and earth to refine, don't look at the pocket, the internal space inside it is actually large and scary, and it can often be loaded with items dozens or even hundreds of times larger than its volume. "Dong Fatzi has been in Jiangying City with a strong cultivation atmosphere for so long, and his knowledge is naturally not comparable to Li Yuan, who has been imprisoned in Hudi Prison for five hundred years.
"Are you saying that this rag pocket is a spiritual weapon?" Li Yuan was a little incredulous.
"Yes, but the space spirit weapon used to store items is not only a storage bag, but also a Sumeru ring, a Sumeru bracelet, etc..."
"Whoa~"
After a loud noise, piles of emerald green bamboo poles, each the thickness of an arm, suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground.
"Green bamboo!" Li Yuan noticed that these bamboo poles were all freshly chopped, relatively fresh green bamboo, compared with the yellow bamboo that has been processed and peeled off the skin, the buoyancy must be much worse, which is no wonder, otherwise as long as it is a person with a little light foundation, he can float to the other side without pressure.
"You can come up and pick out the bamboo poles. The fat Taoist said slowly.
"How hard can that be, hehe. ”
At this time, Li Yuan saw a lean man take the lead in walking out of the crowd, he picked a bamboo pole casually, threw it into the river, and with a force under his feet, he jumped high and jumped high, stepped on the bamboo pole, and rowed forward by inertia, this person did not forget to turn back to the people on the shore and said proudly: "I'll go first, everyone remember to keep up." ”
Seeing this, the fat Taoist only smiled faintly and shook his head, looking a little regretful.
Sure enough, the man was fine at first, but before he could draw a few tens of meters of bamboo poles, it was as if he had fallen into a swamp, and it became difficult to walk an inch when he sank down.
"It's so sinking, there's something wrong with this river!" the lean man exclaimed with a panicked look on his face.
"Dao Chief, this...?" everyone looked at the fat Dao man, waiting for him to solve his doubts.
"Hmph, if it was that easy, wouldn't my Heavenly Master's Mansion have already been overcrowded. The fat Taoist sneered, and then explained: "This Luxi River is a place dedicated to the cultivation of this disciple on weekdays, and the river has been banned, and the river is extremely heavy, and the buoyancy is only less than one-third of that of ordinary river water, if you want to cross the river, you have to come up with some skills." ”
Just as the fat Taoist was talking, he only heard a soft sound of "poof" from the river, but the thin man who was very proud before fell into the water from the bamboo pole, waving his arms and struggling.
"Dao Chief, save people. Everyone didn't dare to act rashly, and they all looked at the fat Taoist.
"It doesn't matter, as long as a person falls into the water, the prohibition in the river will be ineffective for him, and anyone who knows a little water can swim back. The fat Taoist waved his hand and said lightly.
The lean man struggled for a moment, but soon realized that there was a problem, smiled awkwardly, and slowly swam back.
After the man came ashore, he seemed to feel that he had no face to stay any longer, and after arching his hand to the fat Taoist, he left without looking back.
"Does anyone else want to try it?" said the fat man with a slow smile.
At this time, no one dared to despise this assessment, and the scene was silent.
"I want to try. ”
In the crowd, a clean young man's voice came out, and then I saw a thin figure walking out slowly, and came to the side of the fat man, who was actually a young man with a beautiful appearance.
"Li Yuan!" was surprised by Dong Fatzi, who was hiding in the crowd and watching, he really didn't expect that Li Yuan, who looked plain and unremarkable, would take the initiative to ask for help.
"Hey, this person looks so thin, he must not be a person who has been quenched, and if he is so impulsive, he will definitely be embarrassed. An older, middle-aged seeker who looked to be at least in his thirties sighed and lamented.
"Dao Chief, can you lend me a knife?" Li Yuan said to the fat Daoist without being humble or arrogant.
The fat Taoist showed a hint of interest and looked at Li Yuan: "There is no knife, there is an iron sword here in the poor road, but is it okay?" After speaking, the fat Taoist shook his left hand, and an ordinary iron sword slipped out of his sleeve.
"Thank you. Li Yuan took the iron sword, his eyes showed an indescribable emotion, and then he held it tightly in his hand in a clumsy posture, and everyone immediately burst into laughter when they saw him like this.
Li Yuan didn't care about everyone's ridicule, he held his sword, walked to the side and squatted, and began to carefully select the bamboo pole.
After a while, Li Yuan picked up a bamboo pole with satisfaction, weighed it with his hand, and said, "This one is good." After speaking, he thrust the bamboo pole into the ground, and swung the sword three times with his right hand, and the bamboo pole was divided into three pieces.
Seeing this, the fat Taoist narrowed his eyes, as if he looked a little incredulous, and exclaimed: "It's a good swordsmanship, there is no trace of fancy, and the length of the cut bamboo pole is not bad, as far as this swordsmanship is concerned, it is already considered superior, I really don't know how this young man practiced." ”
Li Yuan's swordsmanship was naturally practiced in the Hudi Prison, and he had met a big demon with swordsmanship in the Hudi Prison before, and at that time, the big demon had not thought anything bad about him, and the two discussed some topics about swordsmanship.
The big demon once told him that the most important thing to make a sword is three words, fast, accurate, and ruthless, as long as you practice these three points well, you don't need any fancy sword moves to become a swordsman.
At that time, Li Yuan's mind was not on this at all, he only thought that he would be able to leave the prison after ten years in peace, so he didn't care.
Until the big demon had the idea of eating him, when he fought with Xiao Yuan, he only used his fingers, and without spiritual power, he left a sword mark more than half an inch deep on the hard wall of the special material of the prison, you must know that this is not relying on mana, but only by sword intent, this scene deeply shocked Li Yuan.
After nearly a hundred years, when Li Yuan had nothing to do, he would use his hand to pinch the finger of the sword to simulate the tip of the sword, and began the simplest practice of splitting, picking, and stabbing according to the method that the big demon said before he died.
After nearly a hundred years and tens of millions of exercises, Li Yuan's sword intent has long been to the point of perfection, so this first sword use shocked the fat Dao man.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't detected half a point of spiritual power fluctuations on Li Yuan's body, the fat Dao people would almost have regarded him as a sword cultivator with high mana.
Li Yuan took the three cut bamboo poles, walked to the river, put them into the water and pressed them with his hands, and then shook his head.
"Fool, as long as the volume of the bamboo pole remains the same, the buoyancy will not change. Someone teased.
Li Yuan really made a fuss, but he didn't care, he had a second plan, and then he saw Li Yuan walking back to the square, and I didn't know where to find a wooden board that was more than one person high and took it to the riverside, took out a thin wire from the backpack and tied two of the bamboo poles to both sides of the plank, and stood up.
Then Li Yuan slid into the river with another bamboo pole as a pulp under the stunned onlookers of everyone.
"Dao Chief, he's cheating!" someone protested.
"That's right, he used an extra big plank, how can this be counted, Dao Chief, you must disqualify him. Soon some people began to chim.
On the one hand, he saw Li Yuan's swordsmanship, and he really appreciated it, and he didn't want Li Yuan to miss the opportunity to worship the Heavenly Master's Mansion because of this pass, on the other hand, there was indeed a loophole when he explained the topic before, he only mentioned that he crossed the river with a bamboo pole, and did not say that he couldn't use other things, Li Yuan was able to find out this loophole and boldly use it, at least it proved that he had a good brain and was bold and careful.
However, if this loophole is feasible, everyone will follow suit, and his first level of assessment will not become a laughing stock.
That's it, it's all about being poor!
Thinking of this, the fat Dao man's face was solemn: "It's the poor road that is not well thought out, there are loopholes in the question, and I didn't say before that I couldn't use other things to let this person take advantage of it, and here the poor road apologizes to you." ”
The fat Taoist bowed slightly and made a salute to everyone, "But now that the loophole has been discovered, it is not too late to make amends, and the poor road has one more, and it can only rely on this bamboo pole, and it is not allowed to use other things." ”
"Daoist, you should disqualify that person. ”
"yes, otherwise it's unfair. ”
"Must be disqualified!"
Everyone coaxed and demanded that the fat Taoist cancel Li Yuan's assessment qualifications.
"Well, it's the fault of the poor Dao, how can you blame someone else for the mistake. The fat Taoist insisted.
"Dao Chief, you are too unreasonable, even if you don't cancel his qualification, at least you have to let him come back and take the test again. "Obviously, some people are unwilling to let Li Yuan pass the test like this.
"Reasonable?" Hearing this, the fat Taoist turned pale, his eyes widened, and an astonishing spiritual pressure suddenly broke out of his body, covering the part of people who were close to him, and said in a cold tone: "My Heavenly Master's Mansion has never been a place to be reasonable, let alone me, even Uncle Hong just now, even if the Heavenly Master comes, he will definitely not be reasonable, my Heavenly Master's Mansion has always been whoever has the big fist, who is reasonable, if anyone has an opinion, come forward and defeat me, then you can be reasonable." ”
Everyone was instantly shocked by the biting chill, feeling cold behind them, and there was a feeling of being targeted by a beast, so they shut up one after another, how dare they say anything more?
At the same time, Li Yuan had already rowed the plank and came to the center of the river with difficulty, and at this time he finally realized how difficult it was to cross the river.
