On the first day, a childish woman taught them some mantras that they didn't know what they were for or where they could be used, but they didn't leave a single piece of talisman paper to use until they left.

On the second day, a man embroidered with a golden plum blossom on his coat laid out a show in front of his six children. In an instant, the surrounding people were in an uproar, Jiang Xingge stretched out his hand, and was able to grab the sleeve of the passerby, the woman who was touched by Jiang Xingge just turned her head, only to hear a snap of her fingers, and everything disappeared.

On the third day, Jiang Yuzhi, an elder Jiang Xingge had only seen once at the banquet, appeared from behind the stone gate, and he took out a blank rune paper from his sleeve, cut his finger with his sword, and then wrote a spell on the rune paper with his own blood. The moment the spell was written, the rune paper ignited out of thin air and turned into ashes, and in an instant, dense red runes with dazzling light were reflected on the surrounding mountain walls, and those red lights flowed from top to bottom like blood, and when they touched the ground, they disappeared again along with the runes.

On the fourth day, what appeared in front of Jiang Xingge was Yan Qing, the head of the house with a bloodless, walking corpse-like housewife, who wore three strings of jade pendants on her waist, one string of purple and two strings of white. She looked at the children in front of her without a trace of expression, and finally stopped in front of Jiang Xingge and said quietly: "You are very good, you are most similar to Song'er, don't let me down." She left a blank rune paper for each child, turned around and looked at Jiang Xingge, and finally didn't say anything more.

On the fifth day, the seven children waited around the stone gate for a long time, but no one came, and even the transparent hole above their heads was blocked by something. A few children had already used yesterday's rune paper to cast a spell and lit the fire, but Jiang Xingge still held the rune paper firmly in his hand.

On the sixth day, the children, who had not eaten for a day or two nights, began to complain and fear, and I don't know who started crying first, causing several children to cry one after another. Jiang Xingge seemed to notice something, and retreated to the edge of the pool to breathe as smoothly as possible.

On the seventh day, before the end of the day, Jiang Xingge was woken up by the sound of fighting, and when he got up, he saw that it was the two children who cried the most fiercely yesterday who were ferocious. They smashed the furnishings in the house, and picked up the tables, chairs and benches around them to try to attack the others, and the rest of the children saw this, although they resisted, but they were finally defeated, and they had no choice but to find some sticks and bamboo branches and began to fight against them. After a few people beat from the house to the outside, Jiang Xingge was not surprised to find that the air outside was full of dust mixed with the smell of medicine. He took out the talisman paper in his sleeve and tried all the mantras he had heard on the first day, and one of them was really effective, and the moment Jiang Xingge finished reciting the mantra, his whole body suddenly became clear as if he was wrapped in an invisible cover. Seeing this, a child who also had the rune paper recited the last mantra in a similar way, but at the moment when he finished reciting the mantra, a drop of blood that fell from someone splashed on the rune paper, and in an instant, the surrounding mountain wall emitted a dazzling red light like the third day, and the next moment, Jiang Xingge was already in a cave full of spirits, and the six people who were still around him also disappeared without a trace.

The spirit monster in front of him seemed to be stunned when he saw Jiang Xingge, and when he came to his senses, he rushed towards Jiang Xingge. Jiang Xingge hurriedly retreated to dodge the blow, but he didn't want to trip over something under his feet and fell hard. He looked down and saw that it was a sword without a scabbard. Before he could pick up the sword, the monster hit again, Jiang Xingge thought that this time he was going to be beaten, but he didn't expect that the stone hammer was bounced back at the moment when he was about to touch Jiang Xingge, and at the same time, the thing in front of Jiang Xingge was also shattered like glass, and he reacted that it should be the shield that he had summoned with a spell before.

The sword that flashed with cold light was firmly held in Jiang Xingge's hand, and he pierced it before the monster's next attack, he had heard his mother say that the blood of most monsters was not red, but at this moment, the monster in front of Jiang Xingge was gushing bright red liquid from his chest. Jiang Xingge shook off the blood on the sword, curiously and cautiously approached the monster that was still alive, the moment he touched the monster, everything in front of him instantly changed back to the appearance of the small courtyard, and the monster also became one of the six children, he still stared at Jiang Xingge with resentment in his eyes like the monster in front of him, as if he wanted to devour the life in front of him alive, until the last moment of his life, he did not come out of the phantom array.

Seven days later, only one person came out of the secret passage, a boy with a sword, and blood splattered all over him, both his own and others. The red liquid rolled down the tip of the sword, and the boy's eyes were no longer as clear as they had been seven days ago, only silence remained. The stone door had not yet been closed, and behind the door was still the cliff of Qingchi seven days ago, a veritable death surrounded by countless dry bones, and the corpses of six teenagers lay quietly on the ground, with pools of cold blood gathered under them, and their swords were still held in their hands, twisting the trick, and their lives had stopped there.

Jiang Xingge pushed open the door, the dazzling sunlight illuminated him dizzy for a while, the maid was still carrying the palace lamp, she motioned for Jiang Xingge to follow her, turned around and walked towards the main hall.

When going to the main hall, he passed by the small lotus pond, Jiang Xingge silently lowered his head and followed the footsteps of the maid, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the girl at the banquet that day. The maid respectfully stepped aside, and the girl raised her hand and gently wiped the dried blood on Jiang Xingge's face with her sleeve: "If you go with such a face, the elders will be angry." Jiang Xingge stood in place, and at this moment, he couldn't tell whether everything was worth it or not.

"The disciples of Haizhi pay a visit to the elders. This is the first time Jiang Xingge has stepped into the main hall, and like countless times in the future, he is full of regret at this moment. He didn't understand the so-called Tao at all, he thought that he would be able to pass the test easily with just a show and his talent, but he didn't want to come to such a situation. There seemed to be a faint plum fragrance on the girl's sleeves on his face, Jiang Xingge wanted to cry inexplicably, and after a long time, a drop of red liquid mixed with tears fell to the ground, he thought, is this his remorse or the hatred of the remaining six children?

The unfamiliar adults sat around Jiang Xingge, and they looked at the boy covered in blood with satisfaction, as if the bright red dyed was a symbol of talent and strength. "I didn't expect this last team to produce such a genius. The elder looked at the boy in front of him with satisfaction, he spread out his right palm, and suddenly a jade pendant carved from white jade appeared in the palm of his palm, "From this moment on, you are no longer a nameless person of the Jiang clan, you are the Kunlun Jiang clan's own family, Jiang Xingge." The jade pendant floated in front of Jiang Xingge like a soul, he raised his hand to hold up the jade pendant, and then lowered his head deeper: "Elder Xie gives the name." Surrounded by countless sounds of joy, Jiang Xingge only felt a roar in his head, and a maid stepped forward to put on a jade pendant for him, and then said to him meekly and respectfully: "Young Master Xingge, please come with me." ”

In the years that followed, Jiang Xingque had told Jiang Xingge countless times that he was not happy, but Jiang Xingge was just indifferent. He had been lost since he got this name, he didn't know what he was afraid of, and he didn't dare to face his heart, so he could only keep telling himself that he must surpass Jiang Xingque, be thousands of times stronger than her, and become an indispensable person for his family, or even replace him. Jiang Xingge can never forget the scene when he fought with his comrades in the dead realm, so he can only choose to bury the throbbing of childhood deep in his heart and forget it, so as to find a perfect reason for himself, a reason to struggle.
