Chapter Seventy-Nine: Malice
For Hu Yan, it is naturally an excellent thing to be able to enter the secret realm to practice, but with his current strength, it is unknown whether he can stand out in the inner door competition and obtain the qualifications to enter the secret realm.
Although Wu Qiu said that the people of the Inner Gate Dabi are all Qi cultivation stage cultivators who have not yet succeeded in building a foundation, Hu Yan is certain that there must be many powerful characters among them. Although he had already broken through the high-level Qi cultivation at the time of the Seven Star Cylinder, if he met a cultivator who was also a high-level, I am afraid that he might not necessarily be his opponent.
After all, the higher level is also divided into four stages: meridian expansion, condensation, freedom, and great freedom. Although they are at the same stage, the strength of each sub-level is also very different. Moreover, Da Ziru is equivalent to having reached the peak of the Qi cultivation period, and it is only one opportunity to successfully build a foundation, and its strength is not only one and a half points higher than that of people in the stage of meridian expansion and qi condensation, it is simply a gap between the sky and the earth.
Although Hu Yan broke through to the advanced level, he was sure that he was only at the stage of expanding his meridians, and if he wanted to participate in the Inner Gate Competition, he had to make his strength go further in these few days. Maybe that's the way to get better results.
"Hu Yan Ziling is about to follow, and in front of him is the inner gate hall. ”
I didn't want to see Hu Yan slowly following behind thoughtfully, and I couldn't help but remind him. The fog in front of us was thinning a little, and a magnificent building could be seen in the distance.
The building is red bricks and green tiles, the eaves are warped, quaint, grandiose, even if it is a leopard in the tube, it can't help but make people feel a sense of awe.
Through the mist, the magnificent complex of buildings finally revealed the true face of Lushan, which made Hu Yan and Ziling stunned.
But I saw that the sky was full of purple glow and red like fire, the birds flew together, the cranes were singing, the pavilions and pavilions were carved and the fences were made of jade, the walls of the temples were pink and white, and the pines and cypresses stood proudly in the jade bamboo and blue sky. What a fairy mountain, pavilion, cave, heavenly blessed land.
"Well, isn't our inner door more refreshing than the outer door? Seeing Hu Yan and Ziling like this, he was very satisfied with the performance of the two, and asked proudly with his neck raised.
Hu Yan swallowed his saliva and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and finally suppressed his heart that was beating wildly because of the shock. Thumbs up: "It's just not comparable." ”
Wuqiu grinned, "yes, I think so too." Enough appreciation, or should we go back to the deacon hall? Maybe the brothers have been waiting for us to go back in the deacon hall for a long time. ”
Hu Yan was intoxicated by the scenery in front of him and lingered, but since Wu Qiu said this, he was embarrassed to stay for a long time, so he nodded, pulled Ziling and followed Wu Qiu to the deacon hall.
The deacon hall is located in the easternmost part of the huge complex, and along the way, there are many pedestrians looking sideways, perhaps because the two fresh faces of Hu Yan and Ziling suddenly appeared, or perhaps the appearance of Ziling, a female disciple, aroused their curiosity. Whether they were passing by, practicing on the side, or even working, they all put down what they were doing and looked at them with a strange face.
Hu Yan was okay, smiling and waving to everyone around him to say hello. Ziling lowered her head, and her little face was red to her neck, like clouds in the sky.
"What to see, what to do, what to do. Wu Qiu waved his hand at the crowd and scolded loudly.
Wuqiu is the most beloved disciple of the master's sect, and there are naturally people who recognize him, one of the roe head rat-eyed men stared at Ziling with a smile and looked up and down: "Wuqiu junior brother, the head of the master has finally accepted a new disciple?
Wu Qiu shook his body in front of Ziling, looked at the man viciously, waved his fist and said, "Senior Brother Gou, pay attention to proportion, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”
"Yo, I don't want my junior brother to go out to watch, and my temper has risen. Why do you want to compare yourself with me?" said Senior Brother Gou with a shy smile.
"Master doesn't have the heart to compare with you now. If you want to compare and retain your strength, you will see the real chapter when the inner door is bigger, and the master will definitely make you look good at that time. "Don't lose without momentum, cross eyebrows are cold.
"It's not a small tone, so you are bound to participate in the Inner Gate Competition this year. I also want to see what powerful methods Uncle Zhang's favorite disciple has. Senior Brother Gou deliberately emphasized the words of Uncle Zhang's favorite disciple, as if he wanted to make it clear to everyone around.
Wu Qiu didn't care, and said coldly: "When the time comes, don't be beaten by my means and kneel to beg for mercy." Hu Yan Ziling, let's go ......" said and pulled Hu Yan and Ziling, turned around and left.
"You guy's little temper is not small, so let's go?"
Senior Brother Gou's annoying voice was still shouting behind him, but he didn't look back. It's not that he's afraid of this Senior Brother Gou, but he's just too lazy to pay attention to it.
"No, this Senior Brother Gou is also from the Law Enforcement Hall, right?" Hu Yan glanced back at Senior Brother Gou and asked with disgust.
"That's right, he is also a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, and last year, the Inner Gate Dabi rushed into the top fifteen with just the strength of the middle level of Qi training, so he was so unscrupulous. For such a person, only by waiting for the big competition in the inner door to let him show his foreign appearance can he suppress his arrogance. However, after this year's cultivation, his skills should have improved, and maybe he has reached the advanced level of Qi cultivation by now. If I want to win, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Wuqiu said with a frown, obviously worried about whether he could defeat him.
Seeing this, Hu Yan patted Wuqiu's shoulder and said, "It's okay, even if you can't win, isn't there still me." Don't worry, you won't lose. ”
"You!?" Wuqiu rolled his eyes and said with a pout: "With your strength, it would be good to be able to enter the top fifty, if you are lucky, you can barely enter the top thirty, that is to burn high incense." ”
Hu Yan smiled noncommittally, but he remembered that he had not temporarily revealed his strength since he broke through the high level of Qi cultivation, and except for the master who knew that his realm had improved, no one else knew at all. Wu Qiu must still think that he is only the strength of the middle level of Qi cultivation, so he will say this.
In this case, the nonsense has not been broken, and it is interesting to surprise him when the time comes.
Outside the deacon's hall, I saw several young men in Taoist robes from a distance practicing swords or dismantling each other's moves, obviously because the day of the annual Inner Gate Contest was approaching, and they were practicing diligently.
"Eighth Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother, Ten Senior Brother, and Twelfth Senior Brother. I want to kill you......"
Looking at those people, Wu Qiu was extremely excited, let out a cheer, like a wild horse on the loose, and rushed forward quickly.
"The little overlord is back...... The little bully is back......"
Hearing the cheers without demand, the people who were practicing in front of the hall were all stunned, their faces sank, and suddenly they shouted, and suddenly dispersed.
The school field in front of the hall, which was originally very noisy, was crowded in an instant, and a bleak evening breeze blew, and there was a hint of desolation and loneliness.
Looking at the empty school field in front of the hall, Wu Qiu suddenly stood on the spot, his face was already gloomy and it was about to rain.
Hu Yan was also a little embarrassed, glanced at Ziling beside him, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that Wuqiu is not very popular here!"
Ziling covered her mouth and snickered: "Little brother, presumably the other senior brothers often suffer from the torture of Wuqiu, so they can't live some idle lives, and they must be frightened to come back at this time." ”
Wuqiu's face was gloomy, and his mouth was already upturned enough to hang a teapot: "It's really annoying that these guys dare to do this to me, and I won't clean them up for a while." As he spoke, he walked towards the inner hall in a huff.
"Looks like there's going to be another show in a while. Hu Yan shrugged his shoulders and pulled Ziling to follow quickly.
As soon as I stepped into the lobby, there was a burst of chickens and dogs, and the people inside saw Wuqiu as if they had seen a ghost, and they screamed one by one and dropped their work in their hands, and retreated like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the entire lobby.
Looking at the empty lobby, there was no trace of blood on Wuqiu's face, and he stood there in a daze, his shoulders swaying slightly, as if he was about to cry.
Hu Yan was also stunned by the scene in front of him, he didn't expect that the people in the entire deacon hall would be so afraid of Wuqiu, thinking that this kid would rely on the master's favor to trick these senior brothers on weekdays. However, in Hu Yan's opinion, Wuqiu is quite good to him on weekdays, except for a broken mouth, there is nothing bad about it. At least the unseeking temperament is much stronger than the brutal and willful Jin Ning'er.
"You ...... You're a bully......"
Wuqiu only felt a sour nose, and couldn't help it anymore, and cried loudly, the cry was really heart-rending and sad.
The miserable cry caused a panic all around, and a moment later a head poked out of the door, followed by more heads poking out of the room.
A thin boy of fifteen or sixteen years old grinned and said, "Senior Brother Ten, will we play too much, you see that the little brother has been made cry by us." ”
Another tall young man smiled and said, "Don't you forget how this kid used to fix us, have you forgotten that he hid a cauliflower snake in your quilt before he went down the mountain?"
Another slightly older teenager said: "Having said that, the old fourteen is still young, and it seems that he is too unconscionable for us to play like this." I see, why don't we play bigger?"
Everyone was cold, but the thin young man shook his head and said, "Don't tease him, you see how the little brother is crying, he will let the fourth senior brother know in a while, and he will beat us again." ”
As soon as the tall young man heard him mention the fourth senior brother, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, coughed lightly, walked out from behind the door, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the little brother, why are you still crying, the senior brothers are playing with you!"
Seeing the tall young man say this, everyone also walked out from behind the door, smiling shy and comforting him.
Ignoring everyone without seeking a fundamental reason, he buried his head in his arms and sobbed incessantly, extremely sad.
When everyone saw this, they were a little at a loss. However, the tall and sturdy young man didn't know where to take out a fragrant pastry and handed it to Wuqiu, and said with a smile: "Little brother, what do you think this is? This is your favorite osmanthus cake." ”
Wuqiu was still unmoved, hanging his head, crying louder and louder.
The tall and strong young man couldn't help but feel a little at a loss for a while, and beckoned everyone to come forward to comfort him.
At this moment, Wuqiu suddenly raised his head, where were there any tears on his face, there was only a deep malice, the corner of his mouth smiled evilly, and he didn't know where he took out a string of firecrackers, the fire folded and pulled, and suddenly sparks splashed, he threw the firecracker into the crowd, and hid behind Hu Yan with a smile.
The others, on the other hand, were already messy in the wind with the sudden sound of firecrackers and the debris of firecrackers flying around......
