Chapter 42: Selection of Disciples (3)
"Master, you're still joking. Li Shirong said with a smile after Liu Yuqing left.
"What, can't I be joking?" Elder Huaqing made a blank face, glared at Li Shirong and said, Li Shirong spit out his tongue in fright and didn't say much.
"Don't abandon my brother. Liu Yuqing came to Shiting and saluted.
"Hehe, you are really lucky, you can have the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect take a fancy to you, your future is limitless. He laughed.
"Senior brother, can I enter the Heavenly Sword Sect, I can try to ask the elder to see if I can take you in. Liu Yuqing suddenly asked, and was stunned for a moment.
"Haha, you just have this heart, but you just entered the sect of this Huaqing elder, don't have too many ideas, just cultivate with peace of mind, I will definitely be able to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect, you can rest assured." ”
"It's... Okay, then I'll wait for my senior brother in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Liu Yuqing thought for a while, bowed again, and turned to leave.
Seeing Liu Yuqing leave with the auspicious clouds of Elder Huaqing, he sighed a little, who would have thought that the little tail who followed him on the road would enter the Heavenly Sword Sect more smoothly than himself.
"Hehe, is this a Taoist companion who doesn't abandon Daoists?" Just when Buqi was a little in a daze, Senior Brother Qin suddenly appeared beside Buqi.
"Senior Brother Qin said with a smile, she is just my companion, and the two of us are just here to participate in the selection of disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Don't give up for a moment, said with a wry smile.
"That's right, but your companion is really unacceptable, I asked the two elders just now. Senior Brother Qin pointed to the group of disciples who returned to the air and said, "This Senior Sister Liu Yuqing is the mutated spirit root of the Water Spirit Root-Ice Spirit Root, which is especially suitable for the main technique of Elder Huaqing's cultivation "Taiqing Tianshui Sutra", plus her Ice Spirit Root, which is comparable to the Heavenly Spirit Root, it can be said that it is not surprising that she will be the Supreme Elder of my Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, and it is even possible to take a step forward." Senior Brother Qin said with envy on his last face: "Elder Taishang, that is the Yuan Infant Period, and the longevity of the Yuan Yuan is thousands of years, not to mention the higher realm. ”
Bu gave up listening to Senior Brother Qin's words, and there was a trace of shock on his face, and then he disappeared, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Time passed little by little, there were more and more people in the stone pavilion, and there were fewer and fewer people measuring and assessing there, although Liu Yuqing's matter had calmed down a little, but now the people who were still measuring and assessing in the field had illusions, maybe they might also be favored by Elder Taishang and soar directly into the sky.
It's a pity that not everyone has luck, only four or five of those who are in the assessment have passed, and the rest have been brushed off and left.
I estimated that there were more than 400 people in the stone pavilion, which means that more than 5,000 people participated in this assessment, and more than ninety percent of them were eliminated.
A group of disciples and elders floating in the air also fell into the stone pavilion and stood in front of everyone.
He quietly released his spiritual sense, wandering among the many monks who had passed the first round of assessments, and after a little investigation, he found that there were as many as twenty ninth-level monks among these people, and there were three tenth-level realm existences, and most of the rest were around the seventh or eighth layer.
Bu Qi smashed his mouth, originally thought that his ninth-layer realm was high enough to rank in the top three among these people, but he didn't expect that he was just an ordinary member of it, and his heart was a little hit, but at the same time, it also aroused his competitive heart in his heart.
"It depends on who can worship the Heavenly Sword Sect, and who can occupy a place in the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
"Huh. "Just when I didn't give up and continued to look at everyone with my spiritual sense, I suddenly felt as if I had touched a huge barrier in front of me, and I couldn't get past it, and then I couldn't come back as if I was wrapped in a film.
"What's going on?" "Don't give up a little anxious, this wisp of spiritual consciousness has been cultivated by himself with great difficulty, and it has a huge help in this Qi Refining Period realm, if something goes wrong, there is really no place to cry.
Fortunately, there was no malice in the film, and it disappeared after a while after wrapping the wisp of spiritual sense, and the same was true of the barrier in front of it. Without giving up the joy in his heart, he quickly withdrew his spiritual sense, and when he came back, he encountered a few wisps of the same barrier as before, but there was no malice.
"Whew. When the spiritual consciousness came back safely, he exhaled lightly in his heart, and then looked at the group of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples in front of him.
"The barrier I encountered behind me should be the spiritual consciousness of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect in front of me, and the first time I encountered it should be the spiritual consciousness of one of the two elders, which is actually so powerful. "Don't give up, don't be stupid, and quickly think about what you've come across.
"Ahem, first of all, congratulations to Xiu Wei for successfully passing the first round of assessment of my Heavenly Sword Sect, I am an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, you can call me Elder Lin, this is Elder Zhuge . Elder Lin opened his mouth and said: "Although you have passed the first round of assessment, don't think that you are a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there are still three rounds of assessment to complete, and only after passing the later assessment can you be regarded as an outer disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect." ”
Elder Lin paused and then said: "The last three rounds of assessment are very difficult for you, and you may even die, if any of you don't want to participate, you can say it in advance, you can leave now, otherwise you can only risk your life to continue to participate." So if you want to give up now, you can raise your hand and leave. ”
After Elder Lin said these words, there was a burst of discussion in the audience.
"Quiet!" Elder Zhuge shouted, his voice was not loud, but it clearly fell into everyone's ears, and the stone pavilion suddenly fell silent.
"Now it's time to make a decision. Elder Lin looked around and said.
None of the present spoke, and they all looked at Elder Lin quietly.
"Hehe, isn't anyone willing to leave?" Elder Lin said with a smile when he saw this.
Still no one answered.
"Let's say the last time, the next three rounds of assessment are life-threatening, and if you are not careful, you may fall, don't you really think about it carefully?" Elder Lin continued to persuade, but no one left.
"Hahahaha, okay, congratulations on passing the second round of assessment, and then prepare for the third round. Elder Lin was not angry but happy, and ordered the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect on the side with a smile.
The monks present were a little confused, what did this mean?
"The first round is the qualification test, the second round is the test of will, although the threshold of my Heavenly Sword Sect is relatively low, but it is not indiscriminate, our disciples are required to have a firm will, not to be disturbed by external objects, and to seek the Tao wholeheartedly, so there will be some second round of speech tests. Elder Zhuge explained on the side, everyone was a little conscious, and some of them secretly rejoiced, and they were sorry that they persevered, otherwise they would have been eliminated directly.
It's just that after hearing Elder Zhuge 's words, his heart moved, and the speech test was interesting.
"Come on, send these things down. Elder Lin waved his hand, and the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect held a tray with dozens of jade pendants on it.
"The next two rounds of testing are related to this jade pendant, you will carry this jade pendant well, if the jade pendant is lost or damaged, it will be directly regarded as elimination. ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly took the jade pendant and kept it well, only a few people looked at the jade pendant, and a trace of essence flashed in their eyes.
"This jade pendant seems to have other uses. "Don't give up holding the jade pendant in your hand, a trace of aura is injected into it.
"Okay, come with me after you put away the jade pendant. Seeing that the jade pendant had been distributed, Elder Lin spoke, and then flew into the air with Elder Zhuge and the Heavenly Sword Sect's disciple Imperial Sword.
The crowd walked after them, staring ahead with burning eyes.
"It's... Is this for us to walk over?" After a while, Bu Qi and the others followed Elder Lin and them to a single-plank bridge.
This single-plank bridge is visually hundreds of zhang long, the width is only two feet apart, there is no protection on both sides, there is only a bare bridge, and under the single-plank bridge is a bottomless abyss!
Elder Lin and the others floated above the single-plank bridge, leaving the others to stay in front of the bridge.
"You don't have the ability to fly with imperial weapons, so this single-plank bridge is the only way between the Ascension Immortal Pavilion and the Heavenly Sword Sect, if you want to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect, you can only take this path to become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, of course, if you can fly with the imperial weapon, you can also be like us, in addition, this is the third round of testing, it depends on you whether you pass or not, my tips are only these." After Elder Lin finished speaking, his eyes closed and he stopped talking.
Everyone looked at the single-plank bridge in front of them and was a little flustered, what Elder Lin said was right, they didn't have the ability to fly, so they could only take this single-plank bridge, but it was because they didn't have the ability to fly that it was dangerous to take this single-plank bridge, what if they fell, no one heard Elder Lin say that falling would kill them.
"This should be the physical test, interesting, the will test is actually divided into two parts. He looked at the single-plank bridge in front of him and said with a smile in his heart.
"Hmph, how can an immortal cultivator be frightened by this danger? A rugged man spoke, with some sarcasm in his words, and walked straight onto the single-plank bridge after speaking.
"Hmph, if you don't know that piece of jade pendant can save people's lives, do you dare to go directly?"
"This fellow Daoist is right, immortal cultivators are still afraid of this danger?" Dahan's words woke up many hesitant people, and someone immediately spoke out in support of Dahan's words, and followed Dahan onto the single-plank bridge.
With the demonstration of the first person and the second person, more and more people gritted their teeth and no longer hesitated to walk on the single-plank bridge, and in a blink of an eye, there were less than 100 people left who had not yet reached the bridge.
"Let's go. He sighed lightly, looked at the people who were still a little hesitant and sighed lightly in his heart and walked onto the single-plank bridge, and after not giving up, several more people walked up.
"Second brother, what should we do?"
"What are you afraid of, there are so many people, we can't be ashamed, on. ”
There are more and more people on the bridge, and there are few left at the bridge.
"You're not leaving?" asked the Sword Sect disciple one day in the air.
"Sorry, I don't have the guts, I quit. ”
"Me too. ”
The rest of the people said sorry and bluntly said that they couldn't do it.
"Okay, you hand over the jade pendant and return the way you came. The disciple didn't force it, he stretched out his hand and took back the jade pendant from the hands of a few people.
Those people looked at the people on the single-plank bridge and sighed, and suddenly regretted it in their eyes, maybe it was okay to fight, and now they didn't fight it and went back?
