Chapter 167: The Turtle Descendant
Qilin Cliff is located at the top of Kunlun Mountain, and is said to have been transformed by the body of the fallen ancestor of Qilin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the edge of the cliff, a huge stone monument stands majestically.
There is no record of the surname of the great meritorious person of Kunlun in the past dynasties on the stele, only two lines of faintly visible handwriting:
"The unicorn steps on the auspicious clouds, and it is difficult to eliminate it in the world. ”
Due to its age, the author of the two lines is little known, and the roots can be traced back to a long time ago.
The former master of the sect, Yuan Shi Tianzun, summoned all the heavenly spirits on the Qilin Cliff to explain the mixed Yuan Dao fruit and educate the heavenly beings. To this day, it is still a quiet and tranquil poetic scene, but the difference is that it smells a little more coppery.
Su Ji held a wooden plaque with "Ninety-Nine" engraved on it, and Niu Zhu also had a plaque engraved with "One Hundred". The serial number on the wooden plaque represents the ranking of the "Bei Test", and only those who own this wooden plaque are eligible to participate in the Qilin Yun Examination.
When the two followed the scalper over the mountains and mountains to the Qilin Cliff, it was already crowded with people.
Su Ji first saw Yin Jiuyou and Yun Yi talking and laughing as if no one was around, so he didn't bother. Except for these two familiar faces, the rest were a group of unfamiliar registered disciples.
When the disciples saw the three members of the Mountain Treasure Pavilion, they couldn't help but laugh and discussed:
"Hey, brothers, look! The three chefs have arrived!"
"This year, the iron tree is really blooming and the horse is growing, and the chef is also coming to compete!"
"I'd like to see if their weapons are kitchen knives or rice shovels?"
"Guess which one is Niu Zhu who was promoted by the Sect Master?"
"I think it's a little fat, a little short......"
"No, no, that kid looks stupid, I think it's the one next to him!"
When the disciples saw the scalper coming over with two disciples, it was as if they saw a monkey puppet leading two monkeys. The reason for this, Su Ji and Niu Zhu didn't know it, but the scalper couldn't be clearer.
Among the registered disciples who participated in the Qilin Yun Examination this year, the largest number was the Chuanyin Pavilion, with a total of 82 disciples shortlisted, the Pure Heart Pavilion was ranked second, with a total of 16 disciples, and the Shanzhen Pavilion was at the bottom, with only two disciples, Su Ji and Niu Zhu, who were shortlisted.
Although there are only two, this is already the largest number of finalists in the history of Shanzhen Pavilion. In the past, no one in the Shanzhen Pavilion had ever participated in the Qilin Yun Test, because the Shanzhen Pavilion did not teach some spells like its Transmission Pavilion and the Pure Heart Pavilion, so even if it could pass the "Shell Test" and "Wen Test", it would definitely not be able to pass the "Martial Test" in the end.
The elders of the Mountain Treasure Pavilion were all selected from within, so their status was far lower than that of other elders who had been selected through the Qilin Yun Examination.
Despite this, the Yellow Bull Daoist was fortunate enough to take the two high-ranking disciples to climb the Qilin Cliff today, and he felt extremely honored, and his neck was raised higher than usual when he walked, as if he had already put the success or failure of the two disciples out of the way.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of breaking wind in everyone's ears, and immediately a figure appeared in the crowded crowd, kicking up a cloud of dust.
All the disciples felt that it was difficult to breathe, and they couldn't help but retreat three steps away, especially those disciples of the Transmission Pavilion who had a keen sense of perception, who had been overwhelmed by the momentum of the comer.
Although Su Ji didn't have such a strong reaction, he had already felt the powerful aura brought by that figure. The strange thing is that that kind of aura actually made Su Ji feel an inexplicable familiarity, and even felt as if that person had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The only thing that Su Ji can be sure of now is that what appears in front of him is the "person" that Jiang Ling mentioned yesterday, and that person's threat to Jiang Ling becoming a disciple is even greater than that of Yu Han after the famous family.
Regarding the identity of that person, Jiang Ling mentioned it slightly. It is said that he was a disciple of the turtle Taoist in Feiyun Cave in Jialong Mountain. "Turtle" is a hard-shelled insect, and the name of "Turtle Taoist" sounds a little bit of a sense of interception, but in fact, he is the descendant of a master of teaching.
The master of the turtle Taoist is one of the twelve immortals of Yuxu, and his senior brother is the grandson of the Tuxing who has repeatedly made military exploits during the period of King Wu's war, and was named the Tufu Xingjun on the Fengshen platform, as for his disciple, he naturally has a deep relationship with Kunlun Mountain.
In contrast, Jiang Ling, as an outsider of unknown origin, obviously suffers a lot in terms of life background.
Su Ji looked at it and saw that the man was covered in black: black armor, black pants, black boots, black gauntlets, black ghost-faced helmet, and his whole body was shining with black oil, and at first glance he looked like a big ant standing up from the ground.
The man's face was hidden in a ghost-faced helmet, literally like a large turtle shrunk in its shell. Not to mention the momentum on his body, his body odor alone is enough to smoke a large number of opponents. There was a strange smell of fishiness from his body, like the pungent smell of insects when defending against enemies, and people had to stay away.
All the disciples covered their noses one after another, and slowly retreated around that person, gradually spreading out in a circle.
The top of the cliff fell into a constant silence, and time passed quietly in silence.
I don't know how long it took, Niu Zhu's sudden shout broke the quiet atmosphere around him.
"Brother Bai, look at the sky!"
Su Ji looked for Niu Zhu's eyes, and saw a huge rock with a flat top floating in the misty clouds.
The scalper looked up and introduced, "That's the cloud-piercing rock of Kunlun Mountain. After cultivating to a certain level, the monks can control the stone to cross the people, use the Xuanqing Qi to control the huge rock to travel thousands of miles a day, and in an instant, they can send the distinguished guests to Kunlun. It seems that the patriarchs have arrived. ”
The giant cloud-piercing rock was like a behemoth falling from the sky, Su Ji looked up at the sky, and the scene in front of him was quite shocking.
Since the sky falls, the cloud piercing rock slowly docks on the edge of the Qilin Cliff, like a suspended viewing platform.
With his unusual eyesight, Su Ji saw many figures standing on the Cloud Piercing Rock, among which were twelve white-robed elders with their eyes closed, led by an old man with half-black and half-white hair.
Su Ji recognized the old man at a glance, it was Chai Song who he met in Yu Han's attic that day.
Chai Song looked at the horizon in the distance, his eyes swept over the disciples and then fell on Su Ji, his eyes closed slightly, and he seemed to recognize each other like Su Ji.
"It's so beautiful! It's a place where the gods live!"
With a childish voice sounding, the twelve white-robed elders opened their eyes at the same time, and their gazes fell on the same place behind them.
Su Ji fixed his eyes and found that a child walked out behind the twelve white-robed elders, followed by a middle-aged man in an official robe.
The child looked about the same age as Hua Ruwolf, about ten years old, wrapped in a brocade hat and mink fur, and dressed in a gorgeous imperial attire.
Prince Ji Gong Yu!
After Su Ji looked nervously, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that his father Xi Bojifu and Li Hongxi did not come, otherwise he would definitely recognize his identity.
Ji Gongyan walked down through the cloud rock, escorted by twelve elders, came to the huge stone monument on the edge of the cliff, and bowed three times.
Su Ji instantly understood the purpose of Ji Gongyan's coming here. The Qilin is the ancestral god of the Zhou bloodline, derived from the ancestral god of the Yellow Emperor, Yinglong, and is one of the main branches of the Yinglong bloodline. As the crown prince of the current dynasty, Ji Gongyan should come to worship the ancestor of the unicorn on behalf of his father this time.
However, in Su Ji's opinion, this little prince seems to want to take the opportunity to leave the palace and see the grand scenery of Kunlun Mountain on the pretext of worshiping the ancestor of the Qilin.
"Dad, you're here too!"
Hearing a familiar voice behind him, Su Ji looked back, Yu Han wiped his shoulder, and walked straight to the middle-aged man beside Ji Gongyan.
Su Ji immediately understood that the middle-aged man in the official robe was Yu Han's father, and Yu Shi's father, who worked with his father Xi Bojifu.
In this way, there are really a lot of people who come to Qilin Cliff to see the excitement this time.
However, what makes Su Ji wonder now is why everyone he knows now has arrived, but Jiang Ling has never appeared?
