Chapter 2: The Covenant War
The exhibition is in full bloom, the flowers are full of branches, the breeze is coming, the petals are all over the sky, the spring is full of joy, and everything is recovering.
Under the stone bridge, the clear river flows quietly, reflecting the faces of the people on the bridge. The facial features are three-dimensional, but he can be regarded as a little handsome, and he looked at his appearance, and also showed a slight smile. However, a ruthless petal fell on the reflection, making a face ripple.
In the slow flowing water, a woman is reflected. She was dressed in red, holding a sword in her hand, and the breeze ruffled her long hair, which was very beautiful.
"Morning, Luo Yi!" the woman said as she approached.
"You're early, Wu Zhijing. Luo Yi responded with a smile. After a brief question, the two walked together on the stone bridge.
Wu Zhijing said: "Listen to the master, we will soon carry out the first mission. ”
"The first mission! do you mean returning home?" Luo Yi asked happily.
"Hmm. ”
After Luo Yi paused for a moment, he sighed: "Yes, it's been twelve years since I left home, I don't know how my father and mother are doing!"
"When we left the village, we were only about 12 years old, and now we are all adults. Maybe they want to know how we're doing more than we want to know how they're doing!"
"Hmm. Luo Yi let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's it, compared to the joy of family reunion, my current situation is nothing." ”
"Hee-hee, it's okay, don't worry too much. ”
"Well, the main thing is that I can't care about it. Luo Yi spread his hands. The two chatted and walked in the third life.
The third world is a holy place for martial arts cultivation, which has been established for thousands of years, and its appearance can be said to have fulfilled the cultivation dreams of many people.
Prior to this, although there were cultivators in the world, most of them had great opportunities to embark on this path. If you want to learn a teacher or an art, you have to get together with various conditions to get together. Although there are also some people who are groping for cultivation, most of them are buried in the Earth Tribulation and the Heavenly Tribulation. As a result, cultivation has become something that people both yearn for and fear.
And the emergence of the third life has made cultivation like studying for further study, and the extent to which it can be reached depends entirely on personal cultivation. It is open to enrollment every six years, and the teenagers who sign up need to go through three years of physical training, and then the final assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can become official disciples.
After Luo Yi and Wu Zhijing walked across the stone bridge, they walked along the riverside path. At this time, three disciples came from the opposite side, and one of the female disciples clasped her fist at Luo Yi and saluted: "Senior Brother Luo is good." ”
The other two male disciples had no intention of saying hello, but when they saw the female disciples giving a salute, they had to reluctantly follow and hug their fists.
Luo Yi hugged his fists and saluted back: "Hello, junior sister." ”
After the ceremony, they went straight to each other, but they couldn't go far, and one of the male disciples of the three asked another male disciple, "Is he Luo Yi?"
"Well, be quiet, and I'll tell you later. With that, the three of them quickened their pace and walked away.
Luo Yi has felt this kind of words and feelings many times, but he is still a little unaccustomed. He clenched his fists to himself, but eventually let go.
Wu Zhijing observed Luo Yi's subtle movements, so she pretended to joke and said, "You are very well-known in the third world, and they didn't say hello to me." ”
Luo Yi pretended to be smug and said, "That's, I don't dare to say anything else, but at least among the disciples of the same class and the next class, I am a well-known figure." ”
"Hmm. "As the sun rose, the number of disciples on the trail gradually increased.
Luo Yi saw two more disciples coming over in front of him, and said to Wu Zhijing, "Look, someone has greeted me again. ”
Sure enough, when the meeting passed, the other party hugged his fists and saluted: "Senior Brother Luo is good!"
"Hello junior brother, junior sister. Luo Yi returned the salute politely.
Wu Zhijing laughed and said, "Well, didn't they see me!"
Luo Yi was on the rise, proudly demonstrating to Wu Zhijing. Not long after, three male disciples came to meet them, and during the meeting, Luo Yi saluted them in advance: "Hello three junior disciples." ”
Unexpectedly, not only did the other party not return the salute, but the man in the middle also smiled at Luo Yi: "Heh!" Then he moved his gaze to Wu Zhijing, glanced at it frivolously, and then walked over with the two of them.
Only a few steps away, the man said unscrupulously: "Thick-skinned! ”
A disciple next to the man chimed in: "Isn't it, I heard that his results in the physical training assessment are very good!"
"Who knows what despicable means he used, eighty percent of them were cheating. Otherwise, how could it be that he hadn't broken through to the earth realm in nine years!" another disciple echoed.
"Huh. The man in the middle shook his head disdainfully and continued on his way.
These words all entered Luo Yi and Wu Zhijing's ears, Luo Yi put away the fake smile on his face and clenched his fists.
"You three, stand still. Without waiting for Luo Yi to speak, Wu Zhijing turned around and drank it first. "Don't you think it's a villain's work to say bad things about people behind your back!"
The three of them stopped and turned around, and the man still laughed: "Heh, it's really not good to say that people are short behind their backs, we are wrong, we should say it in front of him." ”
"You ......" Wu Zhijing was so angry that she was about to draw her sword, but Luo Yi held her hand.
"Forget it, let's go. Although Luo Yi was angry, he endured it after all.
Wu Zhijing said: "They are too much, if they don't stop it, it's endless!"
"Stop it, it's really unashamed, if it weren't for my Mei Chao not to learn martial arts with women, who would stop it and say that it is not necessarily. "The man's name is Mei Chao.
Luo Yi said: "What am I hindering you, targeting me like this?"
Mei Chao looked at Luo Yi and said, "Even if it is a thousand-year-old iron tree, it has bloomed, since it can't bloom, then please transplant it elsewhere, don't come to lose the face of the third world." ”
"After becoming a full-fledged disciple, those with outstanding talents can break through to the earth realm in the first year, those with mediocre talents will also break through in the third year or so, and those with poor talents will also break through in the sixth year at the latest. People who haven't made a breakthrough for six years have also taken the initiative to leave the third life one after another and live their ordinary lives outside. ”
"And you, for nine years, not only did you not break through, but you are still too lazy to leave. Is it because you're strong enough on your heart, or because you don't have self-knowledge. Actually, in our eyes, you are just a waste material, plus thick skin. And now, you still rely on a woman to justify yourself, it's really a shame to throw yourself home. ”
Indeed, Luo Yi has long known that his so-called popularity is just a joke. But he was unwilling and didn't want to give up his dream of cultivation, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through.
Wu Zhijing said: "On the road of cultivation, there is no distinction between gender, or even race. With your narrow vision, it is a disgrace to the third world and a disgrace to mankind. ”
Seeing that there was a dispute here, many disciples came around, most of whom were from the same class as Luo Yi and the next one. Luo Yi could see from the eyes of the onlookers that most of them wanted to see their own jokes, and he was too sensitive to make a mistake with this kind of gaze.
Luo Yi endured his evil anger and said to Wu Zhijing: "Forget it, let's go." Do not argue with fools, lest others tell who is foolish. ”
"Good. Wu Zhijing turned around and Luo Yi wanted to leave.
"Stop. Mei Chao shouted: "I suddenly want to have a fight with Senior Brother Luo, do you dare to fight?"
Wu Zhijing turned around and said, "Don't go too far, if you want to learn, I'll accompany you." "When he finished speaking, he drew his sword.
"I don't fight with women. ”
"You ......"
Without waiting for Wu Zhijing to finish speaking, Mei Chao interrupted her words and continued to say to Luo Yi: "Of course, if you don't dare, I won't force it. ”
"War. Luo Yi replied succinctly, where is there still a choice. So many people are watching and should not fight, wouldn't they add an extra laughing stock to themselves, which shows the depth of the other party's scheming.
"Hahaha, refreshing, it's hard for me to find an opponent among the disciples of the same class, and from today, I will start to challenge the senior brothers and sisters of the previous session. Mei Chao pointed at Luo Yi with his finger and said very impolitely: "You, this is my beginning, a very commemorative battle, it will be your honor." ”
Luo Yi said: "Seeing that you are not wearing a weapon today, I will not be able to fight." Why don't we change to a fight in the martial arts arena in three days?"
"Heh, hehe, okay! Since you want to bring great humiliation on yourself, what other opinion can I have!" Mei Chao said to the disciples around him: "I also hope that the senior brothers and junior brothers will come to the martial arts arena to witness my cross-session battle at this time on the third day." ”
"Okay, I'll not be absent, and I'll tell you. "It's not a big deal to watch the excitement.
"Thank you. ”
After everyone dispersed, Wu Zhijing said to Luo Yi: "How can you fall for his radical method, such a reckless decision is not like your style?"
"I don't have a choice, this battle will come sooner or later, it's not him Mei Chao today, tomorrow it may be Zhang Chao and Li Chao, I can't hide. ”
Wu Zhijing said: "Maybe you will break through tomorrow, and there will be no Zhang Chao and Li Chao behind you!"
"I've been waiting for tomorrow, but I still haven't broken through. ”
Wu Zhijing said: "What are your chances of winning?"
"Ishei. ”
"Oops. ”
Luo Yi said helplessly: "How bad can I be in my current situation! If I win by luck, wouldn't it be beautiful!"
"What are your plans?"
"Nope. ”
Wu Zhijing asked, "What should I do then?"
"Only don't think about this matter first, and then talk about it later!" After finishing speaking, Luo Yi really didn't think about it, but Wu Zhijing was thinking about something, and she was worried all the way.
"Senior Brother Luo is good, Senior Sister Wu is good. "One person greeted them when they were old, and Luo Yi returned the salute.
"Senior Brother Shangguan is good. Wu Zhijing returned the salute.
After walking away, Luo Yi asked Wu Zhijing, "Do you know him?"
"Forget it, his name is Shangguan Wuji, and in the next physical training assessment, the results are the best. However, he has not yet broken through to the realm of earth. ”
"No wonder, from his greetings, I didn't feel ridicule, it turned out to be a fellow practitioner!"
Wu Zhijing smiled and said, "I've found the team, don't be too happy, do you know who his brother is?"
"His brother, Shangguan's brother. Suddenly, Luo Yi seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise: "It won't be Shangguan Wuxi!"
"That's it!" Wu Zhijing replied in the affirmative.
Luo Yi said: "Alas, it seems that my path has always been lonely. ”
