A rune paper was thrown out, and with a "pop", it exploded on the way, and countless light arrows were sent out from the outer edge of the enchantment, shooting towards Lu Xiaoyuan inside. Lu Xiaoyuan's true air swirled, forming an air shield to protect his whole body.

This old man is Liang Taiyi, the head of the Divine Counting Heavenly Sect, with a wave of his cane, the eight disciples stood according to the direction of the gossip, burned the runes, and urged the power of the enchantment to attack Lu Xiaoyuan.

But the sound of "crackling" was heard endlessly, and the smoke from the burning of the rune paper converged towards the enchantment, and the color of the enchantment became more and more vivid and rich, and in addition to the light arrows inside, the ground was even more ablaze with flames, burning towards Lu Xiaoyuan, but the protective light shield was intact and withstood all the attacks.

Liang Taiyi jumped up and shouted: "The sun and the moon are combined, and the five stars are aligned!" Under his head and feet, the cane struck the center of the enchantment, and the two eyeholes of the skull at the head of the cane emitted black light.

Lu Xiaoyuan shouted, "It's good to come!" The bronze sword stabbed into the sky.

As soon as the tip of the sword and the head of the staff intertwined, the enchantment expanded rapidly, rolling up colorful and brilliant energy, and dispersed in all directions, and a pillar of black and white light emitted from the center of the enchantment, soaring into the sky.

Everyone retreated, but they heard a long shout, and one person flew up, turned eighteen heels in a row, and then fell, this person was pale, wearing a blue coat, it was Liang Taiyi.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and Lu Xiaoyuan stood with his sword in his hand, as if nothing had happened. Although the number of Qimen gods has a long history and is broad and profound, the cultivation of the arrayers is far from enough, and they can't help the status masters.

At this point, how dare everyone come forward to invite a fight, and the eight disciples of the Divine Counting Heavenly Sect helped Liang Taiyi and fled with everyone in embarrassment.

Lu Xiaoyuan smiled, returned to the temple, but there was no trace of the monk Daoyan, and suddenly felt strange, everyone was at the gate of the temple just now, if he escaped, it was impossible for no one to notice, and looked around, only to find that there was a big hole in the wall behind the statue, and there were traces of crawling at the entrance of the cave.

Lu Xiaoyuan thought about his calm appearance just now, but he took the opportunity to burrow and escape, which was angry and funny.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of testing the force, and the warriors of the Zhaoxian Hall gathered next to the school field in the north of the city, and it was too early, so two or three people chatted together.

One of them said to his companion: "Brother Wu's martial arts are outstanding, and he is famous in southern Hebei with a rain sword in one hand, and when he sees the Marquis of Jinzhou, he has to treat Brother Wu as a guest." ”

The young man surnamed Wu said with a smile: "Feng Gongzi has won the prize, Wu's three-legged cat's swordsmanship is not worth mentioning, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to pass today's test, how can I have the opportunity to meet the Marquis of Jinzhou?"

Feng Gongzi shook his hand and said: "Brother Wu, it's okay if you pretend to be a bear with others, can the person surnamed Feng know your extraordinary swordsmanship? If you can't pass the test, won't the person surnamed Feng be treated as a liar and thrown out of the city?"

The surnamed Wu smiled silently, obviously very useful for Feng Gongzi's flattery.

A short man next to him suddenly sneered: "You two are really good at acting, seeing that you two are so confident, you must have given you rare treasures, right?"

The person surnamed Wu frowned and said, "Brother Tai, what are you talking nonsense, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”

The short man sneered: "We all know that whether we can pass the test or not depends on whether the silver is delivered or not. ”

A few people next to him said: "Yes, everyone has sent money, and no one has to be a bitch and want to set up a memorial arch." "If you don't give gifts to those officials, you won't even be eligible to take the test." ”

Feng Gongzi said to the short man: "How much silver did Brother Tai send, can you tell me?"

Before the short man could answer, the man surnamed Wu said: "Young Master Feng, you are too presumptuous, this is someone's secret, how dare people say it in front of so many people?"

The short man glanced at the two of them and sneered: "You two don't have to provoke me, anyway, you have sent it, what are you afraid of when you say it?" I sent 1,000 taels of silver from Master Cui's side, Captain Mu Long's side sent 1,000 taels of silver, and the other stewards gave 300 taels each. ”

Feng Gongzi said: "Your Excellency is really a big deal, and you are ashamed of yourself." ”

The short man said: "I've said it all, what are you afraid of when Feng Gongzi says it?"

Feng Gongzi smiled and said, "Compared with Your Excellency, I can only be regarded as a petty fight, and it is just a matter of making people laugh at it if I say it." ”

The short man pursed his lips and said, "Brother Tai is really not a cheerful person." Seeing Lu Xiaoyuan standing aside, he asked, "This brother has also given a heavy gift?"

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "I sent a box of pearls to Master Cui, which is worth about three hundred taels." ”

The short man said, "Well, there's more." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "It's gone." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Feng Gongzi said, "No, you gave Master Cui a box of pearls worth three hundred taels?"

Lu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Everyone looked at each other, looking at him with a mixture of surprise and ridicule, and after a while, they dispersed.

The short man patted Lu Xiaoyuan's shoulder and said, "Brother Tai, good luck." ”

He turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Xiaoyuan grabbed him and said, "I don't understand these rules, please give me advice." ”

The short man pondered for a moment and said, "I see that you should be a person in the rivers and lakes, unlike these misers, so I'll tell you." He gestured to the people around him with his eyes and said, "Although these people are hidden, in fact, each of them has given away at least thousands of taels of silver, and the three hundred taels of silver from Brother Tai is to buy a chance to take the test, but I am afraid that I will not be able to pass the test." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "Won't it? Isn't it a test of everyone's strength? If I overwhelm the audience, they will still eliminate me, isn't it obvious cheating?"

The short man smiled and said: "This is officialdom, different from the rivers and lakes of Brother Tai, that is, the masters of the heavenly position are here, and they don't give a penny, they still say that you are a waste." After a pause, he said: "Of course it won't be so suspenseful, if you perform well on the field, they will let you pass when they see that you have a bright future, and they will let you pass. ”

As soon as the words ended, the drums sounded, and everyone stopped chatting and fell silent.

Cui Zhushu and a sturdy man in a strong suit walked out of the backfield side by side. The man's eyes were like copper bells, and the two long knives at his waist were none other than the samurai captain Mu Long.

The two of them stood still in the field, and sixteen soldiers carried eight stone slabs onto the field, and Master Cui took out a list and said, "The force test has officially begun, and everyone will go to the field in the order of the list." Now, I would like to ask Captain Mu to give you a demonstration. ”

The audience applauded thunderously, and Mu Long walked to a stone slab with high spirits and said, "This is a Haina stone, which can absorb strong strength." In the first test of your cultivation, each of you slapped the slate with his bare hands, just like this. The palm of the hand flipped and slapped on the slate, and the surface of the slate shook a few times, and then several cracks appeared.
