Chapter 374: Blocking the Future
A tall, treacherous mountain floats in the air.
Below the mountain peak is the sharp jagged strange stone, the mountain gradually increases from the bottom to the top, to the upper two-thirds and begins to shrink layer by layer, looking from afar, the whole mountain peak is like a spinning top, this top is still slowly rotating at a constant speed, with its rotation, the aura of the surrounding world is pulled to the mountain, the aura flows to the mountain like a river endlessly, forming a five-color ring around the mountain, hanging on the mountain like a streamer, you can imagine how fierce the absorption speed of the mountain peak is to the outside aura.
At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, but the part from the mountainside up was still shrouded in a cloud and mist, and it was impossible to see the specific appearance of the above, with Lin Chu's eyesight, in addition to the five-color ring formed by the aura, he could only see the sloping mountain path that seemed to extend down from under the clouds.
This mountain peak is naturally the Poor Si Peak, the main peak of the Seven Sentiments Pavilion.
At the top is the cave house of the Lord and the Elder of Simai Peak, the lower part is the residence of the inner disciples, the mountainside is the location of public facilities such as the Library Pavilion, the Great Hall of Gong Transmission, the Alchemy Room, and the Refining Workshop, and the inverted cone part down the largest central mountain is the residence of those outer disciples.
As for nominal disciples like Lin Chu, let alone living on it, even if they go up, they are not qualified on weekdays, their residence is on the ground below the mountain peak, not directly below, but more than ten miles away from the bottom of the mountain peak.
On that day, Shang Wu said that the outer disciples could not go up to the mountain, but it was not impossible for the outer disciples to go up to the mountain, one is to use the sect contribution obtained by doing the task to exchange for the stay time on it, fifty contributions per hour, but it is only allowed to go up to the mountainside, and then up, sorry, that is the absolute forbidden place for the nominal disciples, and it is not possible to contribute as much as possible.
There is also a situation where you can go up, that is, you receive a task arranged by some sects that needs to be carried out on the mountain peak.
In addition to these two situations, the nominal disciples who want to sneak up privately have no other end than to die and destroy their souls - the magic circle on the mountain peak is an immortal array that can be killed even by the powerhouses of the gods.
......
The road leading from the mountainside to the inner gate disciple is built into a circle, and the two sides of the road are full of white mist, and I don't know what it is, at the end of the road is a stone gate that is three zhang high and a few zhang wide.
Lin Chu was standing in front of the stone gate with a shield at this time.
A real obstacle to the future.
The promotion of outer disciples to inner disciples, in addition to cultivating to reach the hard conditions of the middle stage of foundation building, also has to go through a series of assessments, and this gate where Lin Chu is located is the last level of their assessment, and if they pass, they are inner disciples, but if they can't pass, they can still only be disciples of the outer gate.
The resources enjoyed by the outer disciples and the inner disciples are very different, not to mention the supply of the elixir spirit stones, etc., when it is the inner disciple's location, the concentration of spiritual energy is more than three times that of the outer gate.
Yes, this gate is also nicknamed "Dragon Gate" by the disciples of the outer gate, taking the meaning of the carp jumping over the dragon gate, and turning into a dragon and resisting the wind and clouds in the past, and if you can't pass, you can only still mix in the pool of the outer gate.
It is conceivable that this guarding the door will be a hateful thing, if he can, Lin Chu doesn't want to do this kind of thing, but the nominal disciple has no right to refuse the task assigned by the peak, otherwise it will be an expulsion from the Seven Feelings Pavilion.
There was once an outer disciple who questioned why he should use the outer stage to guard the door in the later stage of foundation building, and the answer of the poor Sifeng assessment elder was very domineering: "This gatekeeper is not a formal disciple, and he can't defeat the enemy across a small realm, so he still wants to be an inner disciple, and the assessment requirement is not to defeat the gatekeeper, but just to ask you to break through the gate from under him."
Lin Chu looked helpless, looking at a woman with an unwilling face on the opposite side and a white light flashed on her body and disappeared in place, but the woman did not break through the door within the specified time, and was forcibly teleported out of the passage by the assessment token she carried.
A figure appeared in front of him again, another outer disciple who had broken through to the last level, Lin Chu cheered up and raised his shield.
"Come on, come on, everyone come and place a bet, I do a banker bet this time the guy still can't pass, one to two, miss this time will have to wait for another three months." Five hundred spirit stones accept betting, and if you think that the interlocutor can pass the level this time, you will come to bet, and don't come to make a small fuss. Hey, didn't no one believe me at first, so I was cowardly now? I had to use this gambling game to earn some pocket money, why bother? Forget it, I don't think anyone dares to bet. Don't shout anymore, waste saliva. ”
More than two feet behind the stone gate, Zong Dong, who was full of excitement, was shouting, this guy has been doing this work in the open space behind the stone gate since Lin Chu guarded the pass.
At the beginning, the odds were all one to one, but with the failure of the first five or six interlopers, the number of people who bet gradually decreased, and no one's spirit stones were picked up, right?
Zong Dong only raised the odds, as for the other inner disciples who questioned why he didn't set up a normal gambling game and only accepted bets that did not pass, he also said with a heartfelt words: "That is the gatekeeper but my beloved Brother Lin, how can he not keep it?" I let you bet just to cheer him up, what is it to accept the bet that passes, it does not affect the intimate relationship between me and Brother Lin." ”
Although the assessment of these outer disciples is every month, there are still a lot of people who can watch the excitement, and there are so many inner disciples in the circle behind the stone gate who are watching, several of them looked at Zong Dong with hesitation at this time and looked at Lin Chu's back over there, but these guys began to think about a little play, and as a result, they lost several times in a row.
"I'll put down two thousand spirit stones. This time, it was Xu Yingqiu, who had been in the limelight recently from the outer gate, and his evaluation at the beginning of the entrance assessment was very good, but it was only because he accidentally fell into the small trap of guessing that he fell to the outer door. The cultivation of the fourth layer of the foundation, the single-line wind spirit root, proficient in all kinds of light body exercises, the most proficient at white horse clearance, and from the big family with the ancestor of the Yuanying, the secret techniques and magic weapons on the body will not be lacking. And although this Lin Chu shield is used well, it definitely can't stop him. I can't kill you with a hole. With a soft snort, a girl in a pink skirt wearing a string of broken beads on her head threw a spirit stone bag over.
"Guessing the little trap" refers to the behavior of Shang Wu and others in the registration office of the nominal disciples, it is said that Shang Xianzi did not enter the inner door of this poor Sifeng because of this, but it is those so-called "special low-level talismans useful for the assessment" are actually just fake rumors released by poor Sifeng, those who hold talismans to participate in the assessment, no matter how good their performance is, can only enter the outer door at most, and then climb to the inner door step by step.
"As a top faction, how could we have such a low-level cheating method, this is just to test the IQ of the people participating in the assessment, and we can't even see through such a small trap, how can we bring it into the inner door. ”
In a certain teaching class of an outer disciple, an inner disciple proudly told the truth without knowing how many outer disciples wanted to cry without tears, and this small trap made them struggle for at least seven or eight more years.
And after Lin Chu learned about this, he suddenly realized what the disdain in the eyes of the nominal disciple registration officer at the beginning meant, it was the contempt brought by the superiority of IQ.
At the beginning of this person, there was a detailed description of the girl's situation to the person who broke through, plus a little bit of Zong Dong's face was embarrassed, and several inner disciples on the side who were already ready to move also bet, and for a while, Zong Dong took five or six spirit stone bags in his hand, and the total amount of bets reached nearly ten thousand spirit stones.
"Yes, yes, it's destined that my Zongdong will make a small fortune today. Yo, it's time to break through, Brother Lin, come on, little brother, it's up to you whether I eat bran and chew vegetables or eat meat and drink wine this month. ”
"Yo Yo Yo, this body is really elegant and handsome, but it doesn't seem to be useful. Brother Lin is good, yes, cut him and shoot him with a shield. You don't look like you're hitting a fly, it's a left slap and a slap......."
"Hey, why are you like a headless fly now, don't struggle, even if you become a mosquito, you can't fly, Brother Lin's shield can't be unfolded......"
For a while, Zong Dong's voice could be heard near the stone gate, almost overshadowing the sound of Xu Yingqiu and Lin Chu fighting against each other.
"Wha...... I'll just say, why send me money, especially you, Xiao Yueyue, you have lost five thousand spirit stones before and after, you have to spend the rest of this month, how about it, do you want me to lend you some, don't worry, we are also old acquaintances, we don't charge you interest, hey, hey, why did you leave......"
Five minutes later, a white light flashed outside the door, and the exaggerated laughter of Zongdong inside the door rang out.
......
The sunset fills the sky.
In the end, the outer disciples who participated in the inner disciple assessment this month were all wiped out, and there were a total of twenty-one people who finally broke through to the last level, but all of them stopped moving forward in front of Lin Chu's shield and collapsed in front of the "Dragon Gate".
"Brother Lin is mighty. ”
Zong Dong took a leap and jumped in front of Lin Chu.
"I've made a lot of money, it's just that you're a spirit stone like you, and you're not afraid of causing any conflicts, and it's not good for people to hold grudges. Lin Chu glanced at him indifferently and put away his shield.
"What are you afraid of, life is wonderful when there is conflict. Zong Dong didn't care, with a wave of his hand, a spirit weapon long knife had floated into the air, and he jumped up, "Brother Lin came up to the 'Linjiao', and I sent you down to the peak." ”
On the Poor Si Peak, the nominal disciple was not allowed to fly the imperial weapon, and every time Zong Dong took him up and down, otherwise it would really be a waste of time just to rely on a pair of legs.
"Yo hoo...... Watch me break through the clouds. ”
With Zong Dong's strange scream, the spirit weapon "Linjiao Knife" dragged out a white light and rushed into the clouds.
