Chapter 20: The Way of Inquiry

Shi Xuan didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Shi Mou's bones can only be middle-class, but his talent and surname are all sentenced to the top." ”

In fact, for a young monk like Shi Xuan, there is still less content to ask, if he is older, he will also ask at what age he started to cultivate, so as not to miss the talents who only started cultivating when they became adults, but entered the realm quickly.

Zhou Dielan's mouth opened and she screamed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth, and said after a pause: "I didn't expect that Brother Shi, you have two superiors, and Sister Yu only has a bone that is superior, and her talent and surname are all superior." ”

"Hehe, then Miss Yu has to be better than Shi Mou, I don't know how you are, Miss Dielan?" After all, they are familiar monks, and Shi Xuan also asked her with concern.

Zhou Dielan's face was slightly red: "I am on all three items, and I can't compare to you." ”

"That's right, the result of Butterfly Orchid is considered to be the first among the Qi cultivation period monks. It's just that I didn't expect the Penglai faction to recruit disciples to be so simple, and I thought there would be a few fights in the ring. Yu Ruoshui said half happily and half encouragingly.

Shi Xuan heard Ming Qingyue mention it: "The realm is one level higher, no matter how powerful the monks under it are, they can't beat it, the Penglai faction is just looking for monks who can inherit the Taoist system and cultivate to the Jindan period, and they are not looking for monks who can fight, why bother using the form of a martial arts competition in the ring, it is better to test perseverance and heart surname." Besides, after entering the sect, he will still guide his actual combat ability, and there will be a fighting law conference every five years, which can allow all disciples to exercise their fighting methods and martial arts skills, so as not to suffer losses when they walk the world in the future. ”

"I didn't expect Shi Daoyou to know so much, it's really well-informed, but the realm is more important than the actual combat, but I have a negative example, I am very revered by a senior monk "Sword Old Man", that is, the sword qi is unparalleled, it is said that he has watched the tide by the sea for a hundred years, comprehended the immeasurable sword qi and sword qi thunder sound, and killed a Jindan grandmaster with the realm of the Divine Soul Period, although it is a low-grade Jindan, it is also a rare feat in 10,000 years. Speaking of the old man of the sword, Yu Ruoshui's words were unrestrained.

"Hehe, you also said that it is a feat that is rare in 10,000 years, but you can imagine how difficult it is to challenge the next level. Of course, except for those who have good magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and even magic weapons, I just didn't expect that Miss Yu You are very interested in learning swords. "Shi Xuan hadn't heard of this before, after all, he was just a rookie in the cultivation realm.

Yu Ruoshui's face blushed at a rare sight: "If I can become a true disciple of the Penglai Sect, I will definitely choose the true inheritance of the sacrificial sword box, and become a figure such as the Returnless Sword Yongxiang." ”

As he spoke, the test had already been completed here, and Xie Fangwei had heard the reports of the nine inner disciples, and then reported the results to Mo Yuan. After Mo Yuan made a decision, Xie Fangwei said to the thousands of monks: "If there is one of the three talents of talent, root bones, and Wu surname, one is below the middle level, please go back to the bamboo building." ”

In the middle and below, that is, the middle and lower, the lower, the lower and the lower, as soon as these words came out, I don't know how many monks lamented, but they didn't dare to make trouble, just Mo Yuan could clean up all the monks here, so he had to go down the mountain in despair.

By the end of this group of monks, there were only seven or eight hundred people left in the square, standing in a huge square, which looked extremely sparse, but Shi Xuan looked around, but it was easy to see Ming Qingyue, who had set off a few days in advance, and she happened to be standing with several female monks.

Seeing Shi Xuan's view, Ming Qingyue smiled slightly and nodded in response, and Shi Xuan also smiled and greeted.

Seeing that the other monks had left, Xie Fangwei stood up and said, "Fellow monks, please go up to this cloud, and below is the path of conscience." After speaking, he pointed with his hand, and a large white cloud floated on the ground, almost half the size of a square. ”

Seven or eight hundred monks stood on the cloud, this cloud still seemed more than enough, you can imagine how big it was, Xie Fangwei pointed again, and the white cloud slowly floated and flew towards the foot of the mountain.

When you reach the foot of the mountain, you will see a straight road, from the foot of the mountain to the peak, there are stones through the rocks in the middle, there are rocks through the rocks, and there is no road to cross the sky.

"There is no magic or magic weapon on this path of inquiry, please do it. The white clouds slowly dissipated to the ground, and Xie Fangwei stood at the intersection and said to the many monks.

Aside from the difficulty of building such a road, this road looks like an ordinary road, and there is nothing unusual about it. The monks looked at each other a few times, and finally someone stepped on it.

It wasn't until Shi Xuan walked on this road that he noticed that it was different, it was surrounded by white mist, and he could only see a little distance around it, which could not be seen from the outside.

Originally, Shi Xuan walked into the road of conscience with Zhou Dielan and Yu Ruoshui, but now he couldn't see the rest of the people, so he could only walk forward slowly.

After walking forward for a while, I gradually felt constrained in my body, and every step I took required more energy, and the surroundings were so quiet that I couldn't even hear my own footsteps, as if I was locked in a place of absolute silence.

Shi Xuan wanted to make a sound, but when he spoke, he couldn't even hear himself. Under this strange quiet, Shi Xuan became more and more restrained the more he walked, and all kinds of emotions in his heart also fermented under this quiet.

Gradually, Shi Xuan found that he couldn't even see the fog, and the surroundings were as cold as a dark night, unable to see, hear, or speak, and he didn't even feel the skin on his body, as if he was not in this world at all.

In this hair-raising feeling, Shi Xuan only felt that his emotions such as anxiety, nervousness, anger, frustration, sadness, and pain were getting stronger and stronger, and he wanted to yell and scream, but unfortunately he also understood that even if he yelled, he couldn't hear it, and he couldn't even feel his mouth moving, so he walked forward with heavy steps according to his instinct.

Fortunately, Shi Xuan remembered that this was a test, so he kept his wisdom intact, and used the supreme method of restraining his thoughts on the "Treasure Record" to control his emotions. This method is not a technique, but a means of visualization, and it is no different from the usual deep inhalation to calm the emotions, so it is not impossible to use it.

Maintaining his emotional stability, Shi Xuan struggled to move forward in the increasingly heavy constraints, and in the end, he was almost lying on the ground by this restraint, but Shi Xuan still did not stop moving forward.

Finally, his eyes lit up, and Shi Xuan found himself standing on the path of conscience he had just seen again, there was no darkness, no fog, and he was only a short distance away from the mountain peak.

Shi Xuan looked around and saw Ming Qingyue stopped not far in front of him, his expression was quiet, thinking that he had already walked out of the hallucination, Yu Ruoshui, Zhou Dielan and the others were still walking slowly behind them, but their eyes were empty, and all kinds of uneasy emotions appeared on their faces, and they looked like they were about to go crazy.

Because they were worried that the rules would not allow it, and when they were thinking about whether to help them, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan had already walked to the place where Shi Xuan was standing just now, and their expressions suddenly became vivid, looking around, it seemed that they could wake up when they walked to this line in the hallucination.

"Brother Shi, I almost went crazy just now. Zhou Dielan touched her chest and said fearfully. Yu Ruoshui also nodded frequently.

"I think you can get out of this illusion, you should have a good heart, you see how many monks in the back are paralyzed in place, and then disappear. Shi Xuan pointed to the monk on the road behind him and said.

Because they were ready to recover their strength and continue walking, the monks who came out of the hallucination stopped where they were. However, there are many monks who have run out of oil in the hallucination, and as soon as they stop, they can no longer move forward, and there are many monks in the Qi cultivation period, including Zhou Dielan.

At this time, Xie Fangwei's voice came: "There is still a quarter of an hour, if you can't reach the peak, please go back." ”

Those monks who could no longer move around were paralyzed to the ground in despair, Shi Xuan suddenly found that Meng Yuqian, a gentleman, made a kind look, and took the initiative to support those monks who were paralyzed on the ground, and immediately understood that the Penglai faction still likes monks who can love their fellow disciples, after all, no one wants to accept white-eyed wolf-like disciples, but the children of the family know these but refuse to spread them, for fear that they will take advantage of a lot.

Looking at Ming Qingyue, she was also helping up a limp female monk, and when she saw Shi Xuan coming and going, she blinked her eyes lightly three times, and the meaning was self-evident.

Shi Xuan saw that Yu Ruoshui had already helped Zhou Dielan up, knowing that she was sincere, and no longer reminded her, he found a male monk and helped him to the mountain peak.

In the illusion realm, the physical strength of the monks in the Qi cultivation period is basically exhausted, and the monks in the out-of-body period can still barely support it. Only after the refinement of the aura of heaven and earth during the qi induction period did they not see anything unusual, but Shi Xuan estimated that the difficulty and requirements of the three should be different.

Shi Xuan was still supporting a monk in the situation of struggling to support, and walked more slowly, fortunately, it was not far from the peak, and finally when there was still a little time left, he stepped on the peak, and then he could only barely stand, and he couldn't take a step.

After a quarter of an hour, Xie Fangwei performed a spell to move the Qi Cultivation Stage Monk who was paralyzed not far from the peak to the peak, while the Out-of-Body Stage Monk did not know where to go, just like the monks who had been unable to extricate themselves from the illusion before.

"The monks of the Qi cultivation period can get out of the illusion, and the heart surname and perseverance are counted, and they can also come up on their own. Xie Fangwei only explained that the standards of the monks in the lower qi cultivation period were different, and he did not mention anything about the out-of-body period and the qi induction period.

There are less than two hundred monks left on the mountain, and this does not include the monks of the Outer Deacons test, nor the children under the age of twelve, they are all different tests.

While these monks were resting, in another hidden place on the top of the mountain, Meng Yuyan was asking an inner disciple who had been in charge of the test before, "Senior Brother Qin, how is my brother?"

This Senior Brother Qin said with a good face: "Senior Brother Meng, Brother Ling is only ranked twenty-third in the out-of-body period, and this time I am afraid it will be hopeless." You used the pill to change his root bones too well, and as a result, judging from his cultivation age, his talent and surname can only be hit, this is very easy to find out, and it is impossible to fake, hey. ”

Meng Yuyan said with a normal face: "What is hopeless, isn't there an interrogation of the net worth background in the back, just find an excuse to degrade a few people." ”

"However, Senior Brother Meng, it is estimated that most of the people in front of him are well-established monks in the waters of the Three Islands, if they are casually degraded, Uncle Mo will look at it!" Senior Brother Qin didn't dare to take this risk.

"And it's not a monk from the waters of the three islands, isn't it?" Meng Yuwei began to smile.

"But there must be other monks with a very large background in the sea and an innocent background who are not afraid of investigation, if they are all degraded, it will be too obvious!" Senior Brother Qin still defended with a bitter face.

Meng Yu's smile warmed people's hearts like a spring wind: "There are always so few, Senior Brother Qin, if this time it happens, I will beg my grandfather to accept you as an apprentice." ”

Senior Brother Qin hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Okay." I try as much as I can. ”
