Chapter 8: Mutation
Early the next morning, everyone had already arrived early in the morning, and before the Ma Protector arrived, they all consciously lined up and stood aside and waited.
After waiting for about half an hour, the figure of the horse protector slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the horse protector still had the same expression for ten thousand years.
Xun Sheng hurriedly began to organize everyone to start the assessment.
When it was almost noon, Ni Xin came to the bottom of the stone steps, Ni Xin looked at the stone steps in front of him and exhaled lightly, and then walked to the first step, to the first step, Ni Xin was a little strange, there was only a faint pressure at the foot of the first stone step, this kind of pressure should not be eliminated normally.
Soon he walked towards the second step, this time Ni Xin was even more strange, if there was some resistance before, when he reached the second step, there was indeed no resistance, Ni Xin was a little puzzled, but he still continued to walk.
The third order, the fourth order, it is still the same, Ni Xin looked at the fifth step in front of him, and clenched his fists a little nervously.
According to the current situation, the fifth order was not a problem for him, even the tenth order, but he still cheered up, because he always felt that something was wrong.
Ni Xin stepped to the fifth step in one step, and there was still no resistance, this time even the horse protector looked at him in surprise, because this young man behaved too easily, but he didn't care, this is the entrance assessment, the elders are staring at it, what else can you do?
Sixth, Seventh,...... Ni Xin walked to the tenth level effortlessly, this time the horse protector was in his spirit, he had also received the news before, and knew that Ni Xin's talent was superior, but now Ni Xin's appearance was too relaxed.
Even if his mind is turning, he must speak at this time: "When you reach the tenth level, you can become an outer disciple of this sect, and if you have spare strength, you can continue to walk." ”
When Ni Xin heard Ma Protector's words, he turned around and walked down the stone steps, he really didn't want to stay here, he always felt a little strange, but soon Ni Xin's face changed, because his feet seemed to be glued, and he couldn't move.
As soon as Ni Xin wanted to ask Ma Protector for help, he dizzy for a while and fainted.
Ni Xin woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, what was in front of him was a darkness, he couldn't see anything clearly, he only felt a little cold feeling on his neck, which made people creepy, he took out the fire fold from his arms, under the light of the faint fire, there was a faint light, faint and bright, it seemed to be the bright light reflected by a lot of silverware, but those seemingly luxurious things always had a hint of cold breath.
"Anyone?" Ni Xin shouted quietly.
After a long time, no one responded, Ni Xin stood still and did not move, and the gloomy environment around him was uncomfortable.
Ni Xin knocked on his head, and now he had a headache.
Ni Xin carefully observed his surroundings, and he tried to tell himself not to be afraid, to calm down.
According to Ni Xin's exploration, he felt that this should be a cave, why did he say so, because he didn't see the exit.
The innermost part of the cave glows faintly in the light of the fire fold, like the luster of metal, but it is not really visible.
Ni Xin walked forward step by step, and every step was extremely careful.
Soon Ni Xin stopped, and he walked to the end of the cave, where several interlocking chains were nailed to the stone wall at the end of the cave, and two paths were divided on both sides of the cave, and the chains extended into the two paths as if lying on the stone wall.
Ni Xin was a little hesitant, he didn't know which path to take, he was afraid, he was afraid that he would choose the wrong path, now in this situation, he might die if he chose the wrong one, but if he sat still, and the sound of his stomach from time to time, he was afraid that he would starve to death if he was hungry, and it didn't look like there was food here.
"Boy, what are you doing standing there grinding and chirping. Just as Ni Xin was thinking, a voice came from the depths of the path at one end of the cave.
Ni Xin just wanted to talk, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, his pupils dilated, stared at a corner of the cave, and then fell straight down.
"This kid can't be scared to death, right, you tried your best to find such a kid?" A figure slowly walked in the dark alley, and a beggar-like person came.
The man was in rags, his dark "shiny" face was covered by messy hair, and his hair grew in a mess, as if it had not been cut for decades, and he squatted beside Ni Xin and looked at it with curiosity.
said that it was too late, and Ni Xin, who had already fainted, suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed a stone he had picked up from nowhere in his hand, and smashed it towards the head of the black shadow.
The black shadow let out a soft sigh, and when it saw such a situation, not only did it not hurry, but laughed, and the yellowed teeth emitted a brilliant light in this dark environment.
The stone hit his head with a "snap", and Ni Xin was a little excited, but the smile on Ni Xin's face froze there, and the stone cracked inch by inch, scattered into slag and slipped from his hand.
Ni Xin sat slumped and looked at the black shadow in front of him in disbelief, he shouldn't be called a beggar, he should be called a savage, the savage was not angry, he looked back at the other corner of the stone cave, and said with a smile: "It's that I'm looking away, this kid is good, it's a little interesting, could it be your old friend?"
At the other end of the stone cave, a figure walked out of the path, compared to the sloppy savage, this figure was a middle-aged man in a white shirt without a trace of dust, and his face was white but dignified.
The middle-aged man walked out and said flatly: "That's not it, the main thing is that everyone else is too young, he is quite old and easy to communicate, of course, there are some other reasons." ”
This made Ni Xin a little unhappy, since he came to the Canglei Sect, everyone said that he was old, and now he was in such a situation, and he had to say that he was old, Ni Xin was a little helpless, I am only thirteen years old this year, okay!
The savage-like man looked at Ni Xin's appearance and said disdainfully: "Boy, don't be upset, I chose you to look up to you, and it is your great blessing." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ni Xin immediately stood up and clasped his fists with both hands: "The kid is blessed, and I ask the seniors to send the kid away." ”
As soon as Ni Xin's words fell, the wild man suddenly raised his foot and kicked Ni Xin twice, turned around and dragged the chain back to the corner before.
These two kicks made Ni Xin want to xia
Wanting to die, it took a long time to recover, and the corners of his mouth twitched and stared at the corner of the wild man, although he couldn't see the figure of the wild man, he knew that the wild man must be there.
He could clearly feel that he was afraid that he had fallen into the thief's den, but the two of them had not shown their killing intent towards him so far, whether the two of them had a plan or really had no killing intent, anyway, now he was relatively safe, thinking of this, he was also bolder, he got up and picked up the fire fold, walked between the two, and looked at the two by the faint light.
While Ni Xin was looking at the two of them, the two were also looking at Ni Xin, and the three of them confronted each other like this, anyway, Ni Xin had made up his mind this time and would never speak first.
The three of them stared at each other with such big eyes, and finally Ni Xin was defeated, he took off the wine jug on his waist and took a sip of wine, mainly to strengthen his courage.
The wild man in the corner swallowed and spat unconsciously, Ni Xin was a little amused, but still threw the wine jug to him.
The wild man hurriedly stepped forward to produce the jug, carefully held it in his hand, took a sip, and then lay down on the ground, and began to laugh, and slowly the laughter grew louder and louder, so big that the cave shook because of the laughter.
Ni Xin looked at the savage a little speechlessly, as for it.
At this time, the wild man stopped laughing and said to Ni Xin: "Boy, are you curious, just because I drank a sip of wine, I am so happy?"
"The kid doesn't dare, the two seniors are like-minded people, and they must have not drunk for a long time, which the kid can understand, and the kid is also uncomfortable without drinking for a day. ”
The wild man smiled when he heard Ni Xin's words: "You kid can talk, what year is this year?"
"The twenty-seventh year of the Great Zhou calendar. ”
“......”
"Do you know the Xia Dynasty? How many years has it been now? The middle-aged man on the other side of the corner asked.
"The Xia Dynasty is the dynasty before my Great Zhou Dynasty, and the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty was extravagant....... Ni Xin began to introduce the two to the fall of the Xia Dynasty to the establishment of the Great Zhou.
What Ni Xin said is that his uncle and grandfather celebrate the New Year every year, and after drinking, he will call the juniors of the family to tell him about this, every year, and now, Ni Xin has also memorized it.
Just when Ni Xin was carrying these histories, the middle-aged man looked at the savage and said, "It's been forty years. ”
The wild man didn't squeak either, and the eyes that had just been a little bright were about to dim.
Ni Xin was talking, and found that the emotions of the two were not quite right, and stepped back quietly.
When he stepped back for a distance, he didn't speak, staring at the two people who were silently in a daze, he didn't understand what they meant by eight hundred years, but it was better to be careful.
Time has passed for a long time, in this dark stone cave, time seems to be the cheapest thing, the three of them have their own hearts, Ni Xin is a little homesick, he has never been away from home for so long.
The middle-aged man broke the silence and said to Ni Xin: "Child, don't be afraid, the two of us are just waste people who have lost our cultivation, and it is still not easy to live until now, speaking of which, I have some relationship with your founding patriarch Tianrui, he is my apprentice." ”
