Chapter 22: Assessment

On the colorful bridge, Jiang Nian looked around, but no one was around.

The two sides are like an abyss, dark and dark, the bridge deck behind is broken one step at a time, the black clouds in the sky are like splashing ink, and bursts of lightning and thunder.

What's going on? Wasn't it okay just now?

Jiang Nian didn't panic, he made up his mind, this time he must worship the immortal sect, this bridge, he must step on!

Stepping forward, after three steps, Jiang Nian stopped. Something seems wrong?

After a while, Jiang Nian didn't notice anything wrong, so he stepped forward again.

Thirty steps later, Jiang Nian sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and pinched the trick.

"Hmm, how can this be! How did my spiritual power drain away? Even the realm has declined, and how can there be no spiritual power here!"

Just now he felt more and more that something was wrong, he seemed a little tired as he walked, and only after meditating did he realize that his realm had dropped!

The spiritual power was extracted from the body like a cocoon, which gave Jiang Nian a feeling of unease.

Hard-headed, Jiang Nian continued to embark on the road to cross the bridge. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Nian had already dropped to the second level of spiritual power.

"If I continue like this, I will lose all my spiritual power. Jiang Nian was faintly uneasy in his heart, and looked behind him, the abyss Jiang Nian didn't think that he could survive by jumping.

In his heart, Jiang Nian called Xiao An in his body.

"What do you think? I'm running out of spiritual power. Jiang Nian said helplessly.

"I'm sleepy, tired. Xiao An replied with some weakness.

Jiang Nian appeased for a while, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with Xiao An, he just hoped that this bridge would not threaten Xiao An's safety.

After a few cups of tea, Jiang Nian stood in front of the steps and hesitated slightly.

One more step forward, the last trace of spiritual power in his body will be gone, and he will become a mortal completely.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Nian smiled indifferently and stepped out.

"Ahh Jiang Nian didn't expect that after this step, Xiao An's skill of marrying a spirit would fail, and he fell to the ground without paying attention. The call in his heart was not answered, and Jiang Nian suddenly turned back to the young man who fell into the immortals a few months ago.

"What if I don't have spiritual power! I've spent most of my life without hands and feet, and now I'm just returning to my original appearance, what's so difficult for me?" Jiang Nian smiled, shook his head, and continued to move forward.

This time, he was more determined than ever, because he did not rely on other strengths, nor did he suffer from gains and losses, he relied on his two legs, even if these two legs were not sound, but he was better than being down-to-earth.

Step by step, Jiang Nian walked on the bridge with anticipation, as if he had returned to the time in Luoxian City. The distance as far as the eye can see is gradually no longer an endless bridge deck, but slowly turns into the official road, the city gate, and the courtyard in Luoxian City.

Pushing open the door, the familiar smell of food and the affectionate call of my mother came from the kitchen. Jiang Nian looked back, and a sturdy middle-aged man pushed the door in, smiling.

"What are you doing in a daze, sit down, the food should be cold in a while. Jiang Wu patted Jiang Nian on the shoulder and beckoned Jiang Nian to sit down and eat.

Jiang Nian walked to the bamboo chair covered with deerskin, and the familiar touch made him slightly distracted.

"Dad, when are we leaving?" Jiang Nian said softly while holding the rice bowl.

Dad knows that you are bored at home, and Dad promises you that he will heal your leg as soon as possible, and when the time comes, Dad will take you to the top of Qingyun Mountain to watch the sunrise, and go to Qianwu Kingdom to see the lanterns. Jiang Wu patted Jiang Nian's head and smiled.

"Eat quickly, your father will have to go to Qingyun Mountain to get water in a while, Linggan Diet is almost gone, take more this time, and use it until the beginning of spring." Wanyu put a piece of meat in the ginger bowl and urged.

Something seemed to come up in Jiang Nian's mind, and his face gradually turned pale.

"Dad, don't go, it's dangerous there, and you'll lose your life if you go!" Jiang Nian put the bowl on the table, and some pictures seemed to cross in front of his eyes, making him feel extremely uneasy.

"Nian'er, Dad has said many times that you will definitely get better, although Qingyun Mountain is dangerous, but have you forgotten Daddy's bow and arrow? Jiang Wu's eyes were full of comfort and disdain.

No matter how Jiang Nian persuaded him, Jiang Wu also insisted on going, but Jiang Nian was stubborn and speechless for a long time.

Jiang Nian, who was sitting in the courtyard, his eyes flashed, he looked at Jiang Wu's figure that was fading away, and he seemed to have made up his mind in his heart.

An hour later, after Jiang Nian informed his mother, he came to the wooden bench at the east gate to sit quietly, as if waiting for something.

Jiang Wu came to Qingyun Mountain, and arranged a few medicine arrows as usual, and several places were arranged in the black rock forest on the mountainside, where the grass was deep and hidden, and the prey was easy to take the bait, and the arrows were smeared with anesthetic, and the prey would be paralyzed and fall to the ground after being hit for a moment.

After fetching water with green spots in the deep pool, Jiang Wu began to patrol the mountains to hunt.

A roe deer attracts a fierce immortal.

The immortal forced Jiang Wu to hunt for treasure, and after a few hours, Jiang Wu was injured and took the immortal to the Black Rock Forest.

Jiang Wu and the immortal didn't know that they had a pair of eyes that had been staring at them the moment they met.

It's the year of ginger.

Although he has no spiritual power, Jiang Nian's body is much stronger than in his memory, and he can walk like a fly without crutches.

From the moment his father was kidnapped, Jiang Nian has been following them, his father was beaten and injured by this immortal, Jiang Nian clenched his fists but still did not come forward, he was waiting, he was going to verify something.

The Black Rock Forest, it really is, the Black Rock Forest.

Jiang Nian saw his father's sharp eyes and lead the immortal into the Black Rock Forest, and his heart had already fallen halfway.

The father attacked the immortals with a medicated arrow trap, and the immortals chased and killed his father around the Black Rock Forest.

Jiang Nian was holding a wooden stick, just like in his memory, the difference was that Jiang Nian was following this immortal at the moment, and he raised the wooden stick several times and hesitated to put it down.

At this time, if you stun this immortal and destroy the treasure map, can you avoid the disaster of Fallen Immortal City?

Oh, is this to ask me if my heart is firm in my heart towards the Tao?

Why bother this way?!

Even if I could go back in time and go back a few months ago, would I be willing to be crippled for the rest of my life?

Let the years take away everything around me, take away my father, take away my mother, take away my life?

Jiang Nian's figure disappeared from behind the immortal, and after a while, the young man's anxious voice came from outside the rock forest.

"Dad, I'm Nian'er, where are you!"

"Xiao Nian, let's go! It's dangerous here, let's go!" Jiang Wu's anxious voice came from inside the rock forest.

"I'm going to see how long you can hide!" the immortal in the forest shouted loudly, flew out of the rock forest, and went straight to Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian stood outside the forest with a wooden stick in his hand, seeing the immortal approaching quickly, Jiang Wu's panicked and slightly crying voice kept coming from the rock forest.

"Dad, forgive me for making this choice again, and I will definitely protect you, just as you have always protected me. ”

Jiang Nian's hand clenched the wooden stick slightly, and in the frightened gaze of the immortal, a bloody wooden stick slammed a corpse into the rock wall.

"Is it enough?" Jiang Nian said silently with his eyes closed.

When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Nian's cultivation at the peak of the third layer of spiritual energy had been restored again, and the immortal bridge had come to an end, and at this time, in front of him were more than a dozen elders and a group of young people in black robes.

"Congratulations, you are the first introductory disciple of the twenty-eighth generation of my Bombing Heaven Sect. Elder Ye stepped forward and said to Jiang Nian with a gentle gaze.

Jiang Nian lost his mind slightly, arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Elder." ”

"Haha, it's just an introductory Dao heart test, don't take it too seriously!" The red-bearded elder had a bold personality, and walked up and patted Jiang Nian on the back and comforted.

Jiang Nian nodded, fixed his mind, and solemnly bowed to the ten elders: "Jiang Nian, the twenty-eighth generation beginner disciple of the Bombing Heaven Sect, has seen all the elders!"

"No courtesy!" "Haha! I didn't expect that there would be such good seedlings for this year's hasty apprentices!" "Not bad!"

All the elders were full of praise, and Jiang Nian bowed and retreated to the open space, waiting for the follow-up disciples.

After a stick of incense, a disciple stepped out of the light curtain in front of him tremblingly, and the gray-clothed disciple standing by the door hurriedly went over to help.

Elder Zhou injected a wisp of spiritual energy into this disciple's body, and only then did he wake up slowly, bow down and thank the elder, and came to Jiang Nian's side.

"It turned out to be him. Jiang Nian was slightly surprised in his heart, this young man was the thin young man in shabby clothes among the first three teenagers in the capital of Qianwu Kingdom who were favored by Elder Ye.

"Elder Ye's eyes are like torches, the first and second disciples of this group have been taken over by you, you really have a vision!" "Yes, yes!"

The elders congratulated each other, and they laughed for a while.

Jiang Nian looked at the light curtain door in front of him and sighed in his heart.

Entry, after passing this level, you are really entering the fairy gate!
