Chapter 13: The Lost Valley
The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, among which the lofty mountains and mountains, the dangerous strange mountains are not few, the terrain is wonderful, many of the wonders of the four seasons of a mountain, there are thousands of miles of meadows on the outside of the mountain range inward in turn, no one forest, steep snow peaks, this is not only the moat that separates Kunlun from the outside world, but also a good place for Kunlun monks to practice and experience.
Legend has it that there are several of the ten heavenly beasts and demon beasts in ancient times sleeping in the depths of Kunlun, in fact, Kunlun's Alien Beast Pavilion also has a group of alien beasts coveted by all sects in the world because of this, whether it is the number of species, or the preciousness of alien beasts are the best in the world.
Therefore, even if it is just a founding ceremony for the selection of introductory disciples, its rules are not the same.
Xu Ling, the world's first organist, personally built the competition venue, connected the Sanshan space, and set up a maze, although it was a temporary space, it had its own future.
On this day, the gate of Kunlun Mountain is wide open, the gate of a hundred immortal families gathers together in a peak, the auspicious clouds ring the top, the wind is familiar, the cranes and phoenixes are singing, and the glow is all over the sky.
Kunlun's main peak Zhaohetai is full of three hundred tables from top to bottom, the old man with fairy wind bones, the middle-aged talent with resolute eyebrows and the handsome and dashing young leader sit in the entire Zhaohetai, and the red carpet of the golden crow ring day on the high platform of four hundred and eight steps is shining with golden light in the hot sun, and the golden crow on it seems to be alive, as if it is about to dance and scream in the next moment.
The main case at the top of the high platform is the seat of Yun Qingzi, the head of Kunlun, and there are three tables under it, which is the seat of the three elders of Kunlun.
Many people looked up on the stage, and saw that there were still only four seats, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, although they didn't expect that the legendary Kunlun Lord would really appear in the Kunlun Mountain Opening Ceremony, but at this moment it was confirmed that his old man did not come, and everyone was still frustrated.
At the specified time, Yun Qingzi took the three elders to sit together, Yun Qingzi put on the plain robe of the head today, his hair was tied up with a golden crown, and his beard was neat, the whole person looked extremely majestic, and every time the Xuanmu cane landed, there was a faint coercion hitting everyone's hearts.
The three elders were also wearing their own wide dresses, Xu Ling was dressed in crescent moon white, his clothes were fluttering, and he also held a measuring ruler made of Ugin in his hand, which was a treasure symbolizing the master of the Clever Pavilion, and it was also an artifact.
Zhu Mingzhao was dressed in a Xuan robe, tall and straight, with clear eyes, a sword at his waist, surrounded by sword energy, and his cultivation was immeasurable.
Qi Qingyao was dressed in a jasper skirt, her face was like a bright moon, her hair was only held in a cinnamon bun, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and beautiful, and she was amiable, and she could smell the strange fragrance on her body within 100 meters, and the dark fragrance floated to calm her heart.
The head of Kunlun and the others first bowed to the east, and everyone present also stood up respectfully and bowed down to worship together.
Yun Qingzi first greeted many immortal sects, and his internal strength was so strong that even the people sitting at the bottom could hear it clearly.
Then Yun Qingzi thanked all the candidates who came to participate in the opening ceremony, and the children standing at the foot of the mountain peak also heard his words, although they couldn't see it, they couldn't help but raise their heads and listen carefully.
"Today's opening ceremony thanks to the love of all the immortals and all the little Taoist friends with deep immortal fate, the number is more than twice as many as usual, a total of seven hundred and six people, so we discussed it and decided to transfer the number of apprentices from thirty to sixty-five, in order not to bury the talented and intelligent people who are destined for my Kunlun. “
As soon as these words came out, the faces of many of the heads and masters present became clear, and the juniors they sent had more opportunities to enter Kunlun.
At this time, a person walked up on the stage, it was Qi Suli, the hall master of the Dianxue Hall, he was wearing a feather crown and a dark blue Confucian robe, after bowing to Yun Qingzi and the three elders, he turned around and slapped his hands lightly, and the hundred water mirrors appeared on the stage in an instant, everyone could see the things in the mirror, but the scenery was different, and in the mirrors next to each other were heavy snow, forest deep deer singing and sparkling water.
At this time, everyone probably has the bottom in their hearts, and the valley of the opening ceremony should be composed of these three places.
"You have also seen the valley of the mountain opening, the valley is divided into three roads, one is a dream, two snow barren peaks, and the third is the valley forest. Only one leads directly to the platform, and the other two need to climb all the way to the end through the spirit array to the platform. The rules of this competition are very simple, first subdue the yellow beast on the platform, the first person to ride the yellow is the leader, the latecomer only needs to touch the yellow, and the first sixty-four people are considered to pass. ”
"This valley is full of shadow stones set up by the Dian Academy, which are used to supervise and take care of the candidates, and the candidates are not allowed to hurt each other's lives with swords, and they are not allowed to use forbidden arts and spiritual swords above the treasures. ”
"The valley was opened for three days, and all sixty-five winners appeared and stopped immediately. ”
There was a lot of discussion, and the main topics were focused on the Lost Valley and the Yellow Beast.
"This year's Lost Valley is not easy, these are all children who are only in the Qi refining period, I don't know what kind of opportunities they will encounter. ”
"I didn't expect Kunlun to have a yellow ride, and those who ride the yellow will have a thousand years of life, but it is only used to make a comparison of the mountain. ”
Of course, none of these discussions can be heard by the test takers at the foot of the mountain at the moment.
Seven hundred test takers were waiting early, and a group of blue-clad men looked at them with their hands in their hands, each of them cold, expressionless in front of a stone platform.
The stone platform was like a millstone, so large that it could stand for a hundred people, and it was engraved with words and patterns that they could not understand, and it looked quite old.
The children at the foot of the mountain raised their heads and saw the glow of the sky and the endless flow of blue birds and phoenixes, and it was hard to imagine what a lively event it was.
At the moment, a man in blue stepped forward and closed his hands, and the crowd of test takers who had been standing casually suddenly dispersed, and everyone found themselves in a different position in the blink of an eye, arranged neatly like a chessboard.
All the blue-clad ones quickly dispersed, merging into the crowd and began to collect the spiritual weapons and swords that each person carried.
"I will return it to you when I come out of the valley. ”
Last night, Mo Yueping and Fang Qixiu explained for a long time, explaining what the Lost Valley was, the classification of immortal cultivators, and the relationship between the various sects and them.
The Lost Valley is the space created by Xu Ling connecting multiple spaces, Xu Ling is the world's first machine master and the first array master, he can connect the spaces in series, and he is the only one in the world who can do this.
The array, the soldier of the column, thousands of changes change with the array, the sky has a column, the earth has a state, the cycle of heaven and earth has a fixed number, the fate of people are all dependent, and the one who glimpses the learning in it and uses it for his own use is the array.
The wisdom of one person and the strength of one person can use the power of heaven and earth for their own use, find the chain of cause and effect, twist the combination of yin and yang, and obtain the power of heaven, which has to make people sigh.
Xu Ling, who is in the stage of transformation of the gods, can penetrate the space, if he takes another step forward, he is the power to create space, and it is not impossible to distort time and space in the end.
The children and teenagers who were standing in the woods were all looking up with immature faces, they didn't know what was behind the array in front of them, just like they didn't know where the path of cultivating immortals could lead.
The spirit weapons and spirit swords were all scavenged, especially the children of the Great Gate Sect, who were treasured from head to toe. Fang Qixiu looked at a little fat dun standing in front of him and unloaded the spirit sword, pulled the jade pendant on his chest, took off a silver silk armor as thin as a cicada's wings, and finally even took off his boots.
When everything was ready, each person was given a sachet containing three days' worth of dry food and an iron sword of the same grade.
The man in blue looked at the sky, and asked the children to stand on the platform in batches, and nearly 100 people stood at a time, and the white light flashed and disappeared. Fang Qixiu was one of the middle of the team, he stood on the stage, and saw the man in blue standing beside him pinching a trick, the white light flashed, he closed his eyes, and as soon as he opened it again, he had already changed positions.
It was a huge valley, and they stood at the bottom of the valley, with real sand under their feet, and the cliffs on the sides were so high that they had to tilt their heads hard to see the sky.
They were facing three forks, each as deep as a cave, where the valley converged, and those three forks were like three gaps in the mountain.
In a few moments, everyone was transferred.
"The valley is divided into three paths, one of which can lead directly to Fengyuntai, and the other two lead to the bottom of Fengyuntai. ”
For a moment the crowd was silent, and no one stepped forward.
"The race has begun, and the first rider to ride the yellow is the winner. ”
Still no one moved.
In the middle of the night, a tall young man took the first step and walked to the fork on the left, which was like a stone breaking the ice, and many people also stepped forward and chose the fork in their eyes and walked in.
Fang Qixiu looked at the identical fork and hesitated.
Mo Yueping had already touched his side at this time and bumped Fang Qixiu's shoulder, "Which way do you fancy it?" I didn't pay attention, I followed you to choose." ”
Fang Qixiu frowned: "This all looks the same, and I don't know how to pick it." ”
At this moment, someone behind him suddenly began to read a word.
As soon as the two teenagers turned around, they saw the little girl in the dark robe lightly talking about something with her fingers tapping at the three forks in the road.
"This girl, I don't know what the mystery of these three forks in the road is?" Mo Yue leaned over with a smile on his face.
Fang Qixiu recognized at a glance that this was the girl from yesterday, and the girl turned her face and saw him, her eyes moved, but she didn't mean to say hello.
She looked at Mo Yueping: "Don't interrupt me, won't you order troops?"
Fang Qixiu felt funny for a while, but Mo Yueping, who was beside him, suddenly let out a sigh and clasped his hands together in surprise: "That's right! ”
"Brother Fang, what kind of eyes do you have?"
"Marvel at the ingenuity of this mystery. ”
As they spoke, the girl had already lit the fork and walked straight to the fork on the right.
"Let's go," Mo Yueping hurriedly dragged Fang Qixiu towards the fork on the right.
Fang Qixiu wondered: "Why? Haven't you ordered it yet?"
"It's not just those words, let's just follow this girl, save trouble. ”
In this way, Fang Qixiu stepped into this bizarre world.
