Chapter 40: The Challenge of Worship I

"Bold, who let you sit in that seat. A somewhat sharp angry voice sounded, and three people walked over from the back hall, the first one was a middle-aged woman, wearing a Taoist robe, carrying a long sword on her back, her eyes were full of anger, staring at Tan Shaobai, and the voice just now was made by her. Tan Shaobai didn't get up, smiled indifferently, and said, "I asked me to sit here, what's wrong?" The middle-aged woman said angrily: "That's the position where we worship the hall master, how can you sit." As she spoke, her figure suddenly moved forward, and she reached out to grab Tan Shaobai's shoulder.

Huang Sui on the side said anxiously: "Senior sister, don't." But it was too late, the middle-aged woman's hand had already grabbed Tan Shaobai's body, Tan Shaobai snorted disdainfully, and said, "The arrogant mother-in-law is the most annoying, too lazy to pay attention to you." With a flick of her hand, the middle-aged woman suddenly took a few steps back as if struck by lightning, her face turned pale for a while, and she had obviously suffered a loss.

Huang Sui walked quickly to the middle-aged woman's side, grabbed her and said, "Senior sister, don't do it, this is my new master." The middle-aged woman glanced at Tan Shaobai suspiciously, and said, "Xiaosui, you brought him?" Why did this person not understand etiquette so much, and actually sat in the position of the hall master. Without waiting for Huang Sui to answer, Tan Shaobai hurriedly said: "Sitting here to give you face, if it weren't for Xiao Sui, I wouldn't have come if you invited me." Go and call out your hall master, and I'll see who can be in charge of the worship of Zhao Song Kingdom. ”

The middle-aged woman was furious and said, "You ......" was about to rush up and make another move, but she heard a somewhat old voice sound, "Xiaofeng, don't be unreasonable." An elderly Taoist walked in from outside the door, and when Huang Sui saw this person, he immediately cheered, rushed forward and shouted happily: "Master, I'm back." The old Taoist smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Sui, but I haven't seen you for a few months, you seem to have grown!" Huang Sui glanced at Tan Shaobai and said, "The disciple's cultivation is growing, all of which are given by my new master, and I will introduce you to it." ”

A fine light flashed in Lao Dao's eyes, and he looked at Tan Shaobai, Tan Shaobai met his gaze without flinching, Lao Dao's heart trembled, and Tan Shaobai gave him the feeling that he was like a bottomless abyss, and he couldn't see the reality at all. He took a few steps forward, walked in front of Tan Shaobai and said, "Yun Xiaozi has seen his predecessors. It is really her blessing that Xiao Sui can worship her predecessors as teachers. ”

Tan Shaobai said with a big sting: "Well, finally there is someone in your worship hall who knows how to be polite." Your name is Yunxiao, isn't it? It's just a cultivation in the middle stage, no wonder you can't teach good disciples, looking at your appearance, it seems that you have been cultivating for three or four hundred years. I advise you not to accept apprentices in the future, so as not to mislead people's children.

Yun Xiaozi was shocked when he heard Tan Shaobai's words, not only did he not feel disgusted, but he added a little respect in his heart, you know, Tan Shaobai didn't use the exploration technique to see his cultivation at a glance, and the depth of his mana was naturally not comparable to him. After all, after cultivating for hundreds of years, his eyesight is much stronger than that of juniors like Huang Han. Said respectfully: "Although the younger generation has been cultivating for some years, they have always been groping for themselves, and their cultivation is really unbearable, so that the seniors laugh." ”

The middle-aged woman who had been turned into Xiaofeng by Yunxiaozi snorted disdainfully, and said, "Uncle Shi, you don't need to be polite to a person like him, I think he is just a swaggering warlock." Yun Xiaozi's expression was solemn, and he said: "Xiaofeng, don't be rude in front of your seniors, go and invite your master and hall master to come out." As the deputy hall master of the worship hall, his words were naturally full of majesty, although Xiaofeng still wanted to say something, but when he came into contact with Yun Xiaozi's fierce gaze, he had to leave. Seeing Xiaofeng leave, Yun Xiaozi continued: "Senior, my nephew is rude, please forgive me." Looking at the appearance of the seniors, it seems that they are people with great magical powers, and I hope you can give more guidance to the younger generations. "In the Central Plains of Shenzhou, although Li Tang, Zhao Song, and Yuan Meng tried their best to recruit people who cultivated the truth, but the seven major sects of the righteous path had strict rules, and they were all born people, so they naturally would not entangle with the government more, and the people they could recruit were all cultivators of some small sects, among them, there would naturally be no people with advanced cultivation, like Yun Xiaozi, among these cultivators, they were already considered to be profound.

Tan Shaobai said indifferently: "I don't dare to point out, I came here just to take a look." You're doing a good job in this worship hall. It seems that Zhao Songguo attaches great importance to you. Seeing that you are still sensible, I will give you a few words, when the demons are rampant today, those evil demons that have become the climate are definitely not something that you worshippers can deal with, and in the future, you should walk less outside, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. Although you have already cultivated the Dao Fetus, it is obvious that the Yuan Infant is unstable, and in my opinion, it is already very good that you can live past the age of 500. It is difficult to break through to the peak realm. ”

Yun Xiaozi sighed lightly and said: "Five hundred years old is already several times more than ordinary people, the disciple does not dare to do more extravagance, I just hope that in my lifetime, I can do more for the people of Zhao Song Kingdom." ”

Tan Shaobai frowned, and said, "Don't say these compassionate words in front of me, do you think that the affairs of the world can be influenced by your small offerings? If it weren't for the Seven Sects of the Righteous Path that have been fighting against the evil path, I'm afraid that the land of Shenzhou would have already been devastated." Talking less about fiction and doing more practical things is not better than anything. ”

Yun Xiaozi frowned slightly, and said: "What the disciple said is from the bottom of his heart, and it is by no means a lie, I don't know if the seven sects mentioned by the predecessors are the seven great divine sects? ”

Tan Shaobai snorted and said, "You don't care which sect I belong to, the Seven Sects of the Righteous Path are not any divine sects at all, and there are many intrigues and despicable and shameless people." As soon as he thought of Wentian and Xingtian couple, Tan Shaobai was angry in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his cultivation realm was not enough now, he would have gone to Wentianliu to find Xingtian to settle accounts.

"Third brother, what kind of big man asked you to invite us over?" A deep voice sounded, and surrounded by seven or eight worshippers, two ruddy-faced old men walked out of the apse. Tan Shaobai's eyes flashed, and he found that the first person already had the cultivation of the peak realm, which was obviously much more advanced than the other people's realm. The bearing is calm, and it is also a little powerful.

Yun Xiaozi hurriedly greeted him and said, "Big brother, I'll introduce you." This is the master of the Seven Great Divine Sects. Oh, by the way, I haven't dared to ask, senior?"

Tan Shaobai glanced at the three of Yunxiaozi and said, "You are the main and deputy hall masters of this worship hall." You don't have to ask what my name is, and I won't say. ”

The two old men later glanced at Yun Xiaozi, and the person at the head said: "I worship the hall master Yun Yuezi below, this is my junior brother Yun Fengzi." Earlier, I heard Xiaofeng say that you have taken Huang Sui as a disciple. ”

Tan Shaobai interrupted: "Xiao Sui and I have a bit of fate, and I have already accepted her as a registered disciple. Yun Yuezi, seeing me sitting in your place, are you unhappy!"

A layer of purple qi flashed in Yun Yuezi's eyes, and he said indifferently: "Looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem like a person who cultivates truth, and you are so old that you want to ask for advice one or two." Yun Xiaozi just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yun Fengzi.

Tan Shaobai said lightly: "I don't dare to ask for advice, I came to the castle to travel, since you want to see my cultivation, then we might as well gamble, how about it?"

Yun Yuezi shook his head and said, "Bet, what do you want to bet on?" The reason why he wanted to test Tan Shaobai's cultivation was mainly because he was a little angry in his heart, when Xiaofeng went to call them before, he had added fuel and vinegar to Tan Shaobai's rudeness, as the hall master of the worship hall, even the emperor of Zhao Song Kingdom had to be commensurate with an immortal master, so he naturally had to test it clearly.

Tan Shaobai smiled strangely, jumped up from the red sandalwood chair, and said: "This bet is very simple, if I win, you will let me be the hall master of the worship hall for ten days, let me also feel the taste of holding power again, if you win, I will dispose of it with you." Of course, I'm definitely not going to take advantage of you, after all, you're a junior. That's good, I only defend and don't attack, you can let go and attack me with the most powerful magic weapon, as long as you can make me move my feet, even if you win, when you feel that you really can't win, you will automatically admit defeat. This will also convince you. ”

Yun Yuezi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and the other worshippers who came with him were all angry at Tan Shaobai's arrogance, and the few people who were short-tempered had even shouted and cursed. Yun Yuezi raised his hand to stop the other offerings, and said lightly: "Okay, according to what you said, if you can withstand my attack and not move, even if you give up the position of the Lord of the Worship Hall to you forever." We're sure of it. ”

Tan Shaobai smiled and said, "Yes, there is still a bit of demeanor." Come on. You can attack now. As he spoke, he opened his feet and stood at random.

Yun Yuezi said suspiciously: "Is it here?" I'm afraid that my magic weapon will destroy the main hall, so it's better for us to go outside the city." Tan Shaobai snorted coldly and said proudly: "If you can let your magic weapon destroy the main hall, it will be considered a good loss for me." A layer of golden brilliance spontaneously appeared, instantly enveloping himself and Yun Yuezi, while the other offerings, including Yun Fengzi and Yun Xiaozi, were pushed out ten meters away. Yun Yuezi's face changed, but Tan Shaobai found a hint of joy in the depths of his eyes, and in confusion, Yun Yuezi had already launched an attack. With a flash of light, the flying sword with purple qi lingering slashed into the void with a muffled thunderous sound, and at the same time, under the control of Yun Yuezi, seven purple light balls flickered at Tan Shaobai's dead corners from seven tricky angles, among them, there were as many as four attacking his legs.

Tan Shaobai smiled indifferently and said, "The pearl of rice grains is also glorious. I didn't see him pinch the spell, and another circle of golden light lit up, and the flying sword and those purple lights completely bombarded it. Countless purple points of light erupted within the prohibition that Tan Shaobai had arranged in advance, and Yun Yuezi's attack naturally couldn't shake Tan Shaobai's defense in the slightest. Yun Yuezi let out a roar, his body floated, grabbed the long sword that rebounded in the air, and threw himself towards Tan Shaobai, for a while, under the urging of mana, the flying sword suddenly increased in power, and around the flying sword, a circle of purple energy like a vortex suddenly burst out, heading towards Tan Shaobai's body.

Tan Shaobai nodded approvingly and said, "It's really difficult for you to be able to exert mana to this extent with the Ascending Peak Realm." As he spoke, he raised his right hand, passed through the purple mana, and clamped the tip of the flying sword with his index and middle fingers. The light converged, Yun Yuezi fell to the ground, and his flying sword had already fallen into Tan Shaobai's hands. As if nothing had happened, Tan Shaobai stroked the blade of the sword and said, "It's not bad, it's a high-grade spiritual weapon." Well, this is a partial wind caste, and with your mana, it is no wonder that you can exert a level beyond your current realm. How's it going?

Yun Yuezi smiled slightly, bowed down and said: "Worship Yun Yuezi has seen the hall master, from today onwards, all the offerings in the Zhao Song Kingdom worship hall will be completely under your orders." ”

Tan Shaobai was stunned, and a feeling of being calculated suddenly rose in his heart, and he frowned and said, "I can already say it just now, I, the master of the worship hall, will only be for ten days." You're going to have to remember it. ”

Yun Yuezi said with a smile: "Of course I remember what you said before, ten days is enough, with a senior like you who has cultivated to a high level, after seven days, we will be able to win the competition with the Yuanmeng Kingdom Worship Palace." Tan Shaobai finally understood why Yun Yuezi's eyes showed joy before, and he shouted in his heart, but his face was as plain as possible, and said indifferently: "Is the competition? Do you want to count on me? You're not almost. What's more, what if I go to participate? Can't I do it if I lose on purpose?"

Yun Yuezi's face changed, and he actually knelt down in front of Tan Shaobai, and said with a wry smile: "Senior, in fact, when I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were a senior master, but I didn't dare to ask rashly. Looking at your appearance, it shouldn't be those people who have turned into outsiders in the Yuanmeng Kingdom, for the sake of our Central Plains authenticity, you can't ignore this matter!"

Tan Shaobai frowned, looked at Huang Sui on the side, and said, "Xiao Sui, what the hell is going on?" Huang Sui hurriedly walked over and said respectfully: "Master, that's the case, we received a challenge from the Yuanmeng Kingdom Worship Hall a month ago. This challenge is something we cannot refuse, and hundreds of years ago, the system of such challenges was formed, and if the challenger wins, the challenged side will pay the price of five cities, and if the challenged team wins, the challenger must sell ten cities. Ten years ago, Yuan Mengguo just wanted to challenge Li Tangguo, and that time, Li Tangguo lost and gave up five rich cities, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he no longer had the prestige of the first power in Shenzhou many years ago.
