Xun Qingge frowned: "Chen Qingfeng really wants His Majesty to demolish his Xiling Sword Sect's Ancestor Hall and let him be a sinner of the Sword Sect through the ages?"

Xun Wei clasped his hands together and sighed, "He just knows that His Majesty will destroy him Xiling Sword Sect, and he doesn't want to be this sinner for the ages!"

The seemingly meaningless answer, the smart queen mother naturally understood the meaning of the national teacher, but she still couldn't figure out that this nest sect master, who had allowed the dynasty to control for more than ten years and tolerated the strong rise of Qingxi Sword Pond everywhere, suddenly became so tough.

She stretched out her jade hand, her fingers like green onions gently kneaded her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Is this Chen Qingfeng suddenly crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. Chen Qingfeng, the sect master of the Xiling Sword Sect, said calmly towards the elders in the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Xiling Sword Sect is on a small leeward platform on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and the stone-built house is simple and rough, always reminding future generations of the hardships of founding a sect.

In the room at this moment, Sect Master Chen Qingfeng was facing the gate and sitting in the center, with four on each side and a total of eight chairs with seven elders sitting on them.

Among the seven people, there was a fat old man with a flushed face, standing straight, his eyes wide, looking at his own sect master.

Hearing the sect master's answer so calmly, he snorted coldly, "Hmph, aren't you crazy, we don't object to you taking out the Heavenly Sword Sutra, that's your sect master's right; But don't you know why Sword Mountain is banned? That's where the reverse scales of the person on the dragon chair are! You want to drag the entire Sword Sect to bury you!"

The two elders nodded their heads in unison, one lost in thought, and the rest were expressionless.

The crowd was surging, Chen Qingfeng laughed at himself in his heart, it seems that his sect master has really been unpopular all these years, and he has no prestige.

Picking up a glass of snow water in his hand, he moistened his throat and said to the red-faced old man, "Elder Mo, what do you think of Qingxi Sword Pool?"

The red-faced old man was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Qingfeng to ask like this, he spat on the ground, and said contemptuously: "What are they, just a dog in the imperial court, they have lost the face of sword cultivation!"

Chen Qingfeng said again: "If it is according to the attitude of the Daduan Dynasty towards us since the founding of the country, what kind of ending do you think we will be." ”

Elder Mo was still blushing, and his confidence was relieved, "It's always hard to maintain, haven't you all come over for so many years." ”

Before Chen Qingfeng could speak, a man holding a sword on his left suddenly spoke: " Fifteen years ago, Empress Xun went up the mountain, and the seven elders Di Qingsheng were imprisoned at the bottom of the burial sword abyss, and the sword mountain was sealed; fourteen years ago, Qingxi Jianchi was established, Wei Qinghui defected, and stole many sword scriptures; ten years ago, Qingxi Jianchi conspired to besiege and kill the disciples of the Sword Sect who had been trained outside, and only two of the top ten survived that year, and our sect wanted to raise the master to ask for guilt, and 30,000 elite soldiers came to Dayi Town; nine years ago, the Changtian Sword, one of the four holy swords of our sect, was stolen; seven years ago, the emperor ordered the destruction of all the files and genealogies of our sect involved in the incident of that year; five years ago, Qingxi Jianchi suddenly besieged and killed the people of our sect outside Shu and snatched all the talented people who were ready to be sent to the sect, and the place where our sect selected materials was greatly reducedThree years ago, Qingxi Jianchi took the place of our sect above the imperial court ceremony; two years ago, Sixiang Mountain, which had been supporting our sect, was attacked and sent to move to 100,000 mountains in Miaojiang; one year ago, Danding Cave announced that it would sever all contact with our sect; half a year ago, Hengduan Daozhuang announced the termination of its annual cooperation with our sect; one month ago, it was rumored that Qingxi Jianchi would challenge our sect at the meeting of the five sects two years later and replace the position of the head of the five sects of our sect. ”

His voice was hoarse, without any emotional fluctuations, and he spoke very quickly, but the words were clearly beating on the hearts of everyone in the room.

Chen Qingfeng said gloomily: "May I ask you, how will this be maintained?"

Elder Mo was speechless, but an old man who nodded with him just now muttered in a low voice, "But you can't take the initiative to seek death." ”

Everyone in the room was a high-level cultivator, and the low voice he spoke showed nothing more than his lack of confidence, but Elder Mo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and turned his head to look at the sect master above.

Chen Qingfeng sighed, "If the Sword Sect really dies at my hands, I am a sinner of the sect through the ages, but can all of you in this ancestral hall be spared? Since you don't want to become Qingxi Sword Pool, and you are not willing to be broken by your own hands for thousands of years, you will work with me to create a future!"

Several elders stood up abruptly and said angrily, "No!"

Elder Mo and the others had no choice, so they could only stand up and clench their fists and shout "No!"

Chen Qingfeng's gaze looked into the distance from the hut, although it was not neat enough, it could only be like this for the time being.

----------------------------------------

A kind of boy and girl on the platform didn't know the monstrous turmoil caused by the appearance of the hill in front of them, and they didn't even know anything about the mountain, even Cui Pheasant and Lu Qi were puzzled.

Isn't it said that the entry tests of the Sword Sect are all tests that test eyesight and control?

What about the balls in the plate and the sword with your eyes closed? You won't just walk such a long way up the mountain and go to climb the mountain again, right?

The man in green shirt stared at the hill in front of him for a long time, and when he turned his head to look at everyone, Yunluo found that his eyes were shining, and he was a little puzzled, could this mountain have a story?

The voice of the man in the green shirt was slightly hoarse: "The next thing is today's test, this mountain is called Wenjian Mountain, there are eighty-one climbing steps, each road is ninety-nine steps, all you have to do is to climb up, climb up desperately, the higher you climb, the better." Finally, we will determine the test score based on the number of steps. The top five can directly learn the secret of the sect, the Heavenly Sword Sutra, and the top ten will get the opportunity to enter the second layer of the Sword Pavilion. Come on, everybody. ”

The boy who had fainted on the road just now had just woken up, and when he heard that he was going to climb the mountain again, his eyes opened and closed, and he fainted again.

The man in the green shirt held up a small bamboo sign, and continued: "There are eighty-one bowls of vitality soup here, if you drink it, you will be exhausted." In addition, as long as you feel that you can't hold on anymore, you can throw the object, and if you fall to the ground unconscious, the test will be terminated. ”

After speaking, a disciple of the Sword Sect brought a soup bowl and distributed the bamboo cards, everyone took them one by one, put the bamboo cards away, drank the vitality soup, and felt a stream of heat flowing all over the limbs, and the whole person was full of vitality and strength.

The fainting boy was also awakened by the man in the green shirt, and after drinking the vitality soup, he finally felt alive.

"Everyone chooses a path to climb the mountain in the order they just arrived at this platform, there is a red line before the stone steps, and crossing the red line is counted as a selection, and there will be a light on the stone monument after selection. The man in the green shirt pointed to Yunluo and Pei Zhen, "You two come first." ”

Everyone's eyes followed the direction of the Tsing shirt man's finger to look at Yunluo and Pei Zhen, knowing that this was the person who took the initiative to support his companion just now, and with the Tsing Tsing Man's loud words, everyone had no objection.

Yunluo blushed a little, but Pei Zhen was faceless and skinless, and he smiled and threw his hands at everyone, like a hotel shopkeeper. Especially when he found that Cui Pheasant and Lu Qi were also looking over this side curiously, they raised their eyebrows, and their heroic faces actually gave people a sense of prodigality and obscenity, and the second daughter hurriedly turned around.

The two of them said goodbye softly to the four people they had just helped over, and the thin young man bowed deeply to Yunluo, wishing him good luck with a smile.

Walking to the front of the team, Yunluo said, "Brother Pei, you will be the first in a while." ”

Pei Zhen waved his hand, "Don't, you're the first." Seeing that Yunluo was still humble, he lowered his voice and said, "I still want to be close to the fairies!"

Originally, the first in line were Cui Pheasant and Lu Qi.

Yunluo rolled his eyes, but his heart was warm.

The rounds were set, and everyone entered the mountain in turn.

Under the water curtain, Wen Wei had already sat down silently, and at the same time took a deep look at the sloppy man in the other corner, he had never seen it.

Seeing Yunluo's first choice, Wen Wei prayed silently in his heart: "Don't choose that path." ”

Yunluo on the water curtain had already walked to the front of the mountain, saluted the people in green shirts and asked, "May I ask if there is anything else to pay attention to these climbing stone steps?"

The man in the green shirt seemed to suddenly remember something, and he also said to everyone: "I forgot to tell you that there are eighty-one mountain roads, and the difficulty is uncertain, and you can't tell them from the number." But there is only one one, which is extremely difficult, and there is only one ...... in a hundred years No one has ever made it to the top. It's the one numbered eighty-one. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the fainting young man with sympathy, and the young man's face suddenly turned pale again.

Pei Zhen turned around and looked at the second daughter behind him with a righteous face, and said to Cui Pheasant, who was slightly in front: "This fairy sister, I want to come to the eighty-one is not a problem for you." ”

Cui Pheasant's face was frosty, "Get out!"

Yunluo looked up at this mountain, it was impossible to take the initiative to choose the eighty-one, what he wanted was to become a cultivator smoothly, all risks could be avoided, and it was not his habit to be in the limelight.

The clouds fell in front of the mountain and walked, silently observing, suddenly a gust of wind blew, his feet slipped, he fell out, fell in front of a stone step, the tips of his fingers could cross the red line in front of the stone steps, and the stone monument in front of the stone steps suddenly lit up, showing that someone had chosen.

Pei Zhen was dumbfounded, and Cui Pheasant and Lu Qi looked at each other. The man in the green shirt frowned slightly and looked at the top of the hill on one side.

On the top of the mountain on this side, Chen Qingfeng and Jiang Yan who appeared at some point stood side by side, Chen Qingfeng frowned and said: "If there is no protection from the country, my Sword Sect will not even be able to get out of the mountain gate, this little thing is naturally fine." But I don't understand. ”

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, "I don't understand it either, but since the minister of state has ordered it, it will not hinder the overall situation, so we can do it." ”

Wen Wei under the water curtain muttered, "Providence?"

Yunluo raised his head and looked, I'm R, eighty-one, I haven't fallen for many years, and I was so at a critical moment!

After a burst of indignation, I was helpless, I couldn't just forget it.

got up and patted the dust on his body, and resolutely stepped into the stone steps, as if there were four big characters written on his face, "Treat death as home".

The man in green shirt looked at Pei Zhen, "It's your turn." ”

Pei Zhen thought about it and chose the nearest stone step next to Yunluo, in case he could get his hands on it.

Everyone chose a stone step one by one, and in the end, the young man's luck exploded at this moment, and he actually left him the first stone step, and he was glad in his heart, and walked in happily.

It was still a full platform just now, and at this moment the man in green shirt was left standing alone, he took a few steps, faced Wenjian Mountain, sat cross-legged, and waited for the result.

Stepping into the stone steps, the clouds fell like falling in the mist, and they were not visible on all sides, only faintly heard the sounds around them. As he walked up, he felt as if he had hit a wall, and he was trapped on the top of the steps.

Chen Qingfeng and Jiang Yan's figures appeared in a pavilion on the mountainside, as a landlord, Chen Qingfeng handed Jiang Yan a cup of ordinary tea, Jiang Yan took it with both hands, and asked: "What is the importance of the ninety-nine steps of Sword Mountain, if it is convenient, can the sect master solve my doubts?"

Chen Qingfeng smiled freely, "Since you ask about the rebirth of Jianshan, these are naturally not secrets. ”

He turned his head to look at a small water curtain beside him, which also showed every move on Wenjian Mountain, "The first eleven steps are not difficult, they are all small mechanisms, and they test the observation and heart of the climber." Sword cultivation has the greatest killing power, but if you only want to break through with strength, you will not be able to do it. ”

Two figures flew out upside down from the stone steps, and then were held to the ground by a soft force in the air, and the two very burly teenagers were full of disbelief, they were trapped in it just now, and they were conceited of their innate divine power, so they wanted to hit them directly, and after three collisions, they were bounced out.

got up and was about to go inside, when the cold voice of the man in green shirt sounded, "You are already out." ”

Yunluo couldn't hear those movements, he silently groped at the edge of the stone steps to measure the length and width, since it was a test, there must be a way out.

Suddenly, his finger touched an undetectable bulge at the junction between the stone steps and the upper level, and he was overjoyed.

But he didn't move at once, and carefully groped the whole stone staircase, and after finding that there was indeed only this one abnormality, he gradually settled down in his heart, pressed it gently, and walked slowly and calmly towards the second step.

Step on it.
