Volume 1 The Rise of the Sword Sect Chapter 23 The Beginning of the Ghost Spirit
On the mountain road, the falling petals paved a long flower path, and then crushed into mud in the trampling of the disciples who came and went, and the dark fragrance was the same.
The five people who were moving forward were flawless or appreciative of this, and they walked calmly towards their destination.
What is different from the past is that the five people at this moment have a sword on their bodies, either hanging from their waists like Cui Lu's second daughter, or like Yunluo Pei Zhen holding it at his side, and there are also Fu Tianqi with his back behind him.
In the square outside the second-grade lecture hall, all the staff had arrived.
After carefully explaining the rules, Qin Ruchu led everyone towards today's destination.
The entrance to the Sword Soul Blessed Land is a cave, and at the entrance of the cave, Chen Qingfeng is sitting on a chair, and Huo Beizhen is still standing aside.
Chen Qingfeng asked, "Have you sent everything over?" ”
Huo Beizhen said: "I gave them all last night, and I explained it clearly." ”
What Huo Beizhen gave last night was the sword on the five people at this moment, Cui Lu and the two daughters had already prepared it in their respective homes, and the Sword Sect had kept it before, and Pei Zhen and Fu Tianqi had gone to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion to select the sword scripture before, and Chen Qingfeng selected it according to the sword scripture they had selected, as for Yunluo, it was naturally set by Old Man Jiang himself.
It's strange to say, these four people had a really good vision when they went to choose the sword scripture at that time, but they all picked the top sword scripture in the second layer after a short time, so Huo Beizhen also talked to Chen Qingfeng about this matter, Chen Qingfeng smiled, and after saying something about it, he didn't mention it.
Thinking of this, Huo Beizhen sighed with emotion: "Lu Qi has successfully ranked among the top grades of body refining, Cui Pheasant and Pei Zhen's willow muscles and jade light have just appeared, Fu Tianqi Xuangu is perfect, plus the monster-like cloud fall, this session of five people is indeed a genius." ”
Chen Qingfeng sighed, "Dilemma, I also want to protect them to grow up safely and steadily, but what grows up like that is useless, I can't encounter setbacks, and I can't stand the tribulation." ”
Huo Beizhen nodded, "It's really not a good thing to have a smooth journey. The master is thoughtful. ”
Chen Qingfeng looked at the low clouds in the sky, and secretly prayed in his heart: Don't go wrong.
While speaking, Qin Ruchu led everyone to the flat ground in front of the cave.
Chen Qingfeng stood up and looked at everyone, "Everyone, I have been practicing for more than a year, and it's time to test your results. We, the Xiling Sword Sect, do not cultivate swordsmen with empty realms, we believe that those who are trained from the battlefield and from fighting are good swordsmen. Lai Patriarch's legacy, we have the blessed land of the sword soul, and we can provide you with such a perfect place of trial, so please take advantage of this opportunity. Finally, the current third grade, known as the great year of the Sword Sect, an outstanding class of students, they seized a total of more than 800 soul crystals in the blessed land trial, and the largest number of human soul crystals was 150. And you are called a very bad class, but I never agree with that, because you have never had the opportunity to prove yourself, and now the opportunity has come, and I hope you will prove it to me, to those who look down on you, and to prove to yourself! You are the best!"
"No!"
A total of thirty disciples, including Yunluo and the others, responded with a bang, especially the students who were originally in the second grade, their eyes were red, and they roared hoarsely.
I didn't see how Chen Qingfeng moved, the gate of the cave instantly turned into a light curtain with light waves circulating, Chen Qingfeng said: "The rules that should be talked about have been made clear to you by Qin Ruchu just now, and then according to the team you have formed, go to Senior Brother Huo's side one by one to get the jade plates, and enter in order after receiving them." ”
Yunluo's five people walked at the end, and Yunluo counted carefully, most of them were in groups of three, and some were in groups of five.
When it was their turn, Huo Beizhen said softly: "Remember what you said last night, be careful." ”
The five nodded solemnly.
According to the order discussed last night, Yunluo took the lead, and Pei Zhendian stepped into the light curtain in turn.
The clouds went dark and then quickly brightened, but the brightness was a little low.
Standing on a small circular platform, there are nearly ten intersections on the outside of the platform, when the clouds come, there is no one on the platform, looking into the distance, almost nothing can be seen, shrouded in a murderous mist, there are a few beast roars from time to time in the fog, I think it is the sword soul beast.
Lu Qi landed a little unsteadily, Yunluo hurriedly reached out to help, and the (indescribable) feeling of skin contact made Yunluo blush.
Cui Pheasant followed in, watching the two holding hands, they suddenly looked strange, the two hurriedly separated, and Cui Pheasant quickly pulled Lu Qi to the side.
As Fu Tianqi and Pei Zhen walked in one after another, because they were the last group, there was no need to hide in a hurry, Yun Luo said: "It's time for us to choose again, let's discuss it first." ”
Pei Zhen spoke first: "According to Senior Brother Huo's statement last night, there may be someone who is not good for us, but we don't know who it is. What can we do?"
Lu Qi rarely took over the conversation, "There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?"
"At this moment, there will only be second-year students in the blessed land, and we should believe that the Sword Sect can guarantee this. Yunluo looked around at a few people, and everyone agreed, so he continued: "But as long as we don't disperse, Zheng Fulong, the strongest of these people, can't be a threat to us, so how will they be unfavorable to us?"
Cui Pheasant's cold voice came, "Secret weapons, magic weapons, and secret methods of evil sects." ”
Fu Tianqi's weak voice came, "It could also be a talisman again." ”
"Talisman?" the rest of the group were startled at first, and then nodded as well.
Lu Qi nodded and said, "Well, in addition to hunting, we will focus on the prevention of these things, and it will be much easier to target." ”
Yunluo's calm voice is still very reassuring, "Then let's adjust it slightly, I'll open the way, Pei Zhen's palace, the apocalypse martial arts and physique are slightly weaker, he is in the center, one left and one right, Miss Lu and Miss Cui, you see how to stand." ”
The two chose a side at random, with Lu Qi on the left and Cui Pheasant on the right.
The five of them set up their formation in this way, and walked in at a random intersection, and they were filled with a layer of mist in front of them.
Yunluo is no stranger to such an environment, Shu is foggy, in the early morning of winter, Yunluo often goes to the outside of the city to collect vegetables at such a time, carefully avoiding some wild dogs and small beasts, has long been used to it.
The others unconsciously leaned closer to him, their long swords unsheathed.
It was about a hundred steps to walk out cautiously, and I didn't meet any sword soul beasts or other disciples.
Just as everyone was muttering in their hearts, Fu Tianqi and Yunluo shouted at the same time: "Be careful. ”
The three-headed sword soul beast suddenly appeared from three directions, front, back, and left.
In front of Yunluo, a black tiger jumped up in the air, and swooped down towards Yunluo with teeth and claws, Yunluo could have easily avoided it, but there were companions behind him, and his body did not retreat but advanced, and he jumped up in the air, and slashed out with a sword towards the head of the black tiger.
With this sword, Yunluo used nine points of strength, and also had the intention of trying the sword soul beast's physique and various situations, as for the other two sword soul beasts that had already been detected, he was not worried, he believed in the companions behind him.
The black tiger saw the sword light coming, and was about to dodge, but the next moment it was split in half, and his body turned into a puff of green smoke and drifted away, and a dark soul crystal fell to the ground.
Yunluo looked back, Lu Qi and Pei Zhen had also cleaned up their respective opponents, a green python and a gray wolf.
It's just that they seem to be much more relaxed than when the clouds fall, standing in place, with a slight swing of the sword, pulling the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into a sword light, and the sword soul beast has already disappeared.
Pick up the soul crystals separately and hand them over to Fu Tianqi for unified custody according to the previous agreement.
Pei Zhen laughed, "This sword soul beast is so unhelpful, don't be busy, leave it to me alone." ”
Yunluo smiled, "Okay, what you said, we will be happy in the past three days." ”
Pei Zhen hurriedly waved his hand, jokingly.
Restraining his smile, Lu Qi said: "This place is only a hundred steps away from the entrance, and it should only be the weakest." ”
Yunluo nodded and said, "Well, the physique is not strong, and a sword is like cutting tofu." But it seems a little bit bad. ”
Lu Qi continued, "You mean they may have spiritual intelligence?"
Yunluo nodded, "If we have intelligence, it will be much more difficult for us to deal with it." ”
Cui Pheasant said: "No matter how big it is, you can only go forward first." ”
The five of them moved forward again.
Along the way, he solved a lot of sword soul beasts that took the initiative to attack, and these sword soul beasts of different forms also made everyone feel eye-opening.
The agile green snake is shaped like electricity;
A tall black bear, with all its might;
There are also eagles flying down from the sky, and the momentum is impressive.
But what they were worried about didn't happen after all, these sword soul beasts didn't have intelligence, they just acted on instinct, maybe the sudden siege before was just an accident?
For these sword soul beasts, everyone solved it quite easily, and at this moment, the small cloth bag hanging on Fu Tianqi's body was already in his hand, and it contained more than fifty soul crystals.
Along the way, they also met another team, but at that time, the three people who had just besieged and killed a leopard fled as soon as they saw Yunluo, which made everyone cry and laugh, and wanted to ask them about the situation.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the time of the day passed slowly, and a row of light curtains suddenly lit up in the distance, which was where the border of the first area was located, and all the practitioners needed to pass through the light curtain and enter the rest area before the light curtain went out, and if they could not enter the rest area before the light curtain was extinguished, they would be automatically moved out.
Through the light curtain, there was a small platform inside, and there were already groups of people sitting on the platform, all of whom were more or less injured and looked a little embarrassed.
When Yunluo and the others walked in, all eyes looked at a few people, looking at their almost unchanged appearances, looking at the heavy package in Fu Tianqi's hand, and feeling jealous and helpless in their hearts.
Zheng Fulong sat not far away, nodding lightly towards Yunluo, and Yunluo also nodded in greeting.
The dashing Gansu was also in one of the groups, and when he saw Yunluo and the others, he got up and said hello gently, and Yunluo also returned a salute, no matter what the purpose of this person was, that day at least he was still preventing others from provoking and hurting him, one yard to another.
The five of them found a corner and sat down, and under the light of the light curtain, they found that this platform was equivalent to a transit place, and these roads in the first area seemed to be independent but intersected with each other, forming a cobweb of interconnected roots, and then all the roads would merge here, and from here extended the roads in the second area, and the second area was still filled with a mist at the moment, and it was not clear to see.
Pei Zhen was amazed, and he was very amazed by the design of this blessed land trial, and he didn't know how the founding patriarch of the founding sect was so amazing and brilliant that he transformed a messy burial sword place into such a suitable place for disciples' trials.
Hearing Pei Zhen's words, Jing Yuheng's cold and sharp figure appeared in Yunluo's heart, and he remembered the nine turns of sword qi he had practiced, and the sixteen sword styles.
The eighteen tricks of the nine turns of the sword qi have all been opened, and the sixteen sword styles have also been practiced into three, of course, according to the old man Jiang, he can only call three shelves, and he is still far from comprehending the true meaning.
The light curtain slowly went out, and Yunluo found that the thirty people who came in together were already five less, and sighed softly.
Today's everything is unremarkable, stable and relaxed, everyone closes their eyes and knees, quietly swallowing their vitality and recuperating their energy.
Not long after resting, a noise woke everyone up, and when they turned their heads to look, it turned out that Zheng Fulong and the other two people in his group had already gotten up to clean up and were ready to enter the second area directly.
Every second counts, under their influence, another team walked in one after another, and there were only more than a dozen people left on the platform at the moment.
Cui Pheasant said softly, "Let's go too." ”
Pei Zhen slapped his thigh, "Let's go!"
A crisp slap sound resounded throughout the silent platform, and Cui Pheasant looked at him like a fool.
----------------------------------------------
A group of five people crept down a road in the second area, sword in hand, looking around, wary faces hung over their faces, led by a tall young man whose arms, thighs, and face were now covered with color, making his already gloomy face look even more ferocious.
Suddenly, a suppressed exclamation came from behind him, "Senior Brother Chen, Xu Qinghou is gone!"
The tall young man turned his head angrily, and a rough breath came out of his nose, "When did you not see you?"
The exclaimed disciple said, "I don't know, as soon as I turned around, I found that I was gone." ”
Another disciple said: "Could it be that he didn't see that when he killed that dragon-shaped soul beast just now, he smashed the jade card by himself and went out." After all, he was injured as soon as he came in, and he had to rest for a long time before he caught up with us. ”
The tall young man was silent for a while, and then ordered: "Shout a few times, don't forget if you don't agree, don't worry if you have a jade card with you!"
Originally, he didn't even want to shout, after all, the surroundings were dangerous, but before leaving, this kid took the initiative to ask to take on the heavy responsibility of the palace, and he was also able to shout a few times along the way, and he was worthy of him by shouting a few times.
What's more, in the end, only three people were counted, and one less was missing, which saved me from having to put in an extra effort at that time.
After whispering a few times in fear, the remaining four were back on the road.
------------------------------------------
Next to the cave of the Sword Soul Blessed Land, there is a hut, but the very ordinary hut is always on duty, because this is the monitoring center of the Sword Soul Blessed Land, once there is a situation in the blessed land, the person on duty must notify the sect master who is guarding the attic not far away as soon as possible.
A deacon of the Sword Sect was walking on the mountain road, he had just had dinner, and he was going to the hut to change shifts at this moment, this kind of succession, he was naturally not in a hurry, so he walked very slowly.
But no matter how slow it is, it will eventually come, when he pushed the door and walked into the hut, a person in the hut was sitting on a chair with his back to the door, and was looking intently at the light curtain in front of him, he smiled slightly, thinking: This Shen boy is quite serious today.
He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm here, you can rest." ”
Then he seemed to see this Shen kid wave his arm, and a puff of smoke rose in front of his eyes, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground.
--------------------------------------------
The Sword Soul Beast in the second area was significantly stronger than in the first area, and the five of them were closer together.
When the four soul beasts attacked and besieged each other, Lu Qi, Cui Pheasant, and Pei Zhen were unfortunately hung up, and their arms or shoulders were scratched.
Everyone became more and more cautious, but fortunately, they had never encountered such a siege and killing crisis in the future, and they were okay.
The sky gradually darkened again, and I found a place to rest and investigate everyone's injuries, fortunately, they were all skin injuries, but at this time, the appearance of several people had become the same as those disciples, gray and dirty, and sloppy.
Yunluo said: "Next, I will deal with it, everyone take it slowly, and wait until the third area to make sure that the sword soul beast is stronger." ”
Pei Zhen said lazily: "Okay, you can do it, I'll sleep." As he spoke, he was about to fall towards Cui Pheasant, and when he found that it was the tip of the sword that was shining against his temple, he twisted his waist amazingly and fell on Fu Tianqi's leg.
Yunluo smiled and kicked him lightly, "Hurry up, go to sleep again in the rest area, and hurry up." ”
With the sound of Yunluo's words, a curtain of light rose again in the distance, guiding everyone in the direction of progress.
A carp in Pei Zhen stood up, "Let's go, go to sleep." ”
Yunluo's eyes suddenly froze, and he stretched out his hand to stop everyone, "Don't be busy, there is a situation." ”
Everyone hurriedly got up, unsheathed their long swords, and looked around.
In confusion, bursts of soul beast roars and running sounds were mixed together, and in the mist, groups of sword soul beasts roared towards the small dirt bag where the five people were standing.
"Run!" Yunluo yelled, "Pei Zhen opens the way, I'll come to the palace!"
Everyone rushed wildly in response, and a leopard swooped towards Yunluo's vest, Yunluo's speed did not decrease, and with a backhand sword, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi turned into a sharp light blade to cut the leopard in half, and the soul crystal fell, and in an instant, it was trampled by the almost endless sword soul beasts behind.
Pei Zhen in front of him hurriedly stopped his steps and turned towards an intersection on the right, and at the same time that Yunluo followed and turned to the right, the torrent of two sword soul beasts collided together, and after a stampede, he chased after the intersection again.
Pei Zhen had just run a few steps, and a large number of sword soul beasts ran in front of him to block the way.
The sword soul beasts in front and behind roared and struck towards the middle, and the figures of the five people looked weak and helpless, and at this time, Fu Tianqi was already unable to run, half-squatting, panting heavily.
Everything seems to be at the end of its rope.
(Today's chapter is not easy to split, so it will be merged together, and it is still about the same number of words as two chapters.) )
