The Moisan Sword Mansion established a sect with a sword, and Liu Fengtao, the real person in charge, was ranked among the fifth-order great sword masters, known as the first sword saint in Moissan.

With the opening of Dabi, the news about Dabi's rewards has gradually been revealed, and the prize for the first place is a spirit sword built by the real person in charge, named "Qingfeng", it is said that when this sword is baked, the sword qi is like a long rainbow through the sun, vertical and horizontal 8,000 meters, alarming the entire Moissan.

It was also at this time that many disciples knew that the real person in charge of the sect was actually a swordsmith.

It has been three years since Lin Xi started, and he has never been in contact with the spirit sword, even if the spirit sword that Qin Guan gave him as a reward because of his outstanding performance in the last test, he has never seen him use it, compared to the sword, he is better at using the spirit array.

In the dark room, he sat cross-legged and remained silent for a long time.

There was no scene of flying sand and rocks in the room, which showed that he was not cultivating, but was doing the most ordinary thing - in a daze.

His gaze first looked out the window, then slowly fell, and finally at the remnant jade on his chest.

Almost unconsciously, he removed the remnant jade and rubbed it between his fingers.

In his eyes, there were faint blood-like veins, slowly extending from the remnant jade, and climbing up along his fingers.

Lin Xi didn't notice this.

Recalling the past, his emotions are sometimes low and sometimes excited.

Gradually, blood creeped down his body and climbed up his neck, up his cheeks, on... His eyes.

For a moment, his eyes blurred.

A voice gradually sounded in the depths of his heart...

Please...

Please...

Over and over again, over and over again.

The mountains and wilderness are quiet, and there are white clouds curling in the distance, and the cranes are fluttering, like a fairyland on earth.

The whole world is silent.

Only the baby, kneeling on the hard bluestone steps, kept pleading:

Please...

······

This image had appeared in his dreams countless times, and he did not know why he repeated this dream, did not know who the baby was, and did not know who he was begging for.

But this dream seemed to have some kind of great fear, and every time it appeared, he couldn't help but feel panicked.

In the three years since he started, this dream has rarely appeared, and has even been forgotten by Lin Xi.

And now, it is here again.

In the dream, he felt very lonely, facing the unknown world alone, facing the unknown hideous, and the unknown horror.

Every time he had this dream, he would wake up from fear.

But this time, he didn't.

In his eyes, the baby's face was very blurry, and even when Lin Xi tried to look, the baby's body began to blur.

In the dark, there seems to be a force that is stopping it.

But at the same time, the strong desire in his heart urged him to look with all his might, open his eyes wide, and look with his heart.

For a moment, the baby seemed to look back consciously, and at a glance—

His eyes were pitch black.

······

Lin Xi's whole body trembled, and he suddenly came to his senses.

On his forehead, a large amount of cold sweat dripped down, and even his back was already wet with cold sweat.

He looked up at the window, and at some point, it was already dawn.

At this moment, the dull sound of the bell suddenly spread throughout the entire Moissanjian Mansion.

"Dabi, here we go. ”

He muttered, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately walked out of the room, and his figure turned into a streamer of light and flew towards the top of the mountain.

On the mountaintop hall of the Tianyun Vein, Qin Guan, who was wearing an azure robe, was sitting precariously, with the two elders Shao Yun and Lan Fengrong on the left and right, and more than a dozen disciples standing in front of him, including Tan Qingshan.

Lin Xi came to the field, saw this scene, and after bowing to Lan Fengrong, he silently walked behind these people.

After him, more disciples came over one after another, and after a short while, more than fifty disciples had gathered in the main hall, nearly double the number of disciples during the test a few months ago.

His gaze swept over the group of disciples, a look of satisfaction appeared on Qin Guan's face, and he coughed lightly and said, "Very good, this is the first time that all the members of this vein have gathered since several new disciples joined. ”

"Today, the triennial Dabi is open again, and I have already informed you of the candidates for the disciples who will participate in the Dabi in this lineage during the test a few months ago, and you all know it in your own hearts. However, there is no limit to the number of people in this big competition, except for these disciples I selected, if others are confident enough in their own strength, they can also go to the big competition to hone their skills, of course, if someone is not strong and embarrassment to the lineage, I will not spare it after I come back!"

As Qin Guan's words suddenly changed, and he glanced at some of the disciples with deep meaning, the hall suddenly fell silent.

The faces of the people who had been watched by him changed suddenly and their heads were lowered.

Qin Guan retracted his gaze and continued, "If you say anything superfluous, I won't say more, it's not too early, presumably the other veins have already reached Tianlong Peak, let's go over too." ”

As he finished his last sentence, the disciples in the hall replied, "Yes!"

Qin Guan nodded, and then led a group of disciples to the square in front of the hall, with a wave of his right hand, a huge spirit boat flashed in front of him, and when all the disciples came up one after another, the spirit boat suddenly turned into a stream of light and shot towards Tianlong Peak.

Almost at the same time, the four veins of Heavenly Thunder, Heavenly Star, Heavenly Moon, and Heavenly Sea, plus the Law Enforcement Palace, all had a streamer of light rising to the sky, and they all converged towards Tianlong Peak.

······

When a group of Tianyun Vein disciples came to Tianlong Peak, the entire square was already crowded, and there were more than four hundred disciples in the Moisan Sword Mansion, all of them gathered in one place like today, and it was the first time that Lin Xi had seen them since he entered.

After Qin Guan put away the spirit boat, he chatted with the other elders who came almost at the same time, and then walked towards the mountain top hall together.

After several elders left, a group of disciples immediately became active.

The square where everyone is located is the size of more than ten acres of land, and it is divided into ten areas, and there is a ring of hundreds of square meters in the middle of each area, which seems to be arranged for the next big competition.

In a place farther away, a huge stone tablet five meters wide and more than ten meters high stands straight, and the stone tablet is engraved with ten names from top to bottom, and these ten people are the top ten in the last competition.

Lin Xi's gaze subconsciously paused when he saw the three words "Gongsun Rong" at the top of the stele.

The name of this senior sister of Tianlong Peak, Lin Xi had heard it from Jiang Huan a year ago, but she had only heard of her name for a long time, so that this senior sister became more and more mysterious in Lin Xi's heart.

His gaze then moved downward, and names such as Xu Zhen, Ji Gang, Tan Qingshan, Ruan Yan, and others who had already become famous in the Moisan Sword Mansion appeared in his field of vision one after another.

At this moment, a slightly unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Senior Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for three years, don't come unharmed?"

Lin Xi turned his head and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the person coming, and immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Gao." ”

Compared with three years ago, his height has risen a lot, and his face has become quite resolute, seeing Lin Xi turn around, he immediately stepped forward and arched his hand, and said in surprise, "Sure enough, it's Senior Brother Lin! The last time I saw Senior Brother was when I started three years ago, I really didn't expect time to pass so quickly!"

Lin Xi bowed his hand and returned the salute and said with a smile, "For us cultivators, the year is like a day, why should the junior brother be sentimental. ”

"Also, it makes my senior brother laugh!"

Gao Gong laughed, then followed Lin Xi's previous gaze, and said, "I said that Senior Brother is so fascinated by what he looks, it turned out to be the ranking tablet of the last big competition, if it was when, it would be nice if your and my names could also appear on it!"

"There will be a day. Lin Xi said with a smile.

"When I started, my brother and I waited in the same place, which is also a kind of fate. After the opening ceremony, I recommended Senior Brother Lin to my tutor, but at that time, after all, people were soft-spoken, and after being asked a few words by my tutor, I didn't dare to say anything more. It wasn't until later, when I saw that my senior brother was chosen away by Aunt Lan, that I was relieved. Gao Gong withdrew his gaze from the ranking tablet, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he talked about the past.

When Lin Xi heard this past, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said with a slight flash in his eyes, "I didn't expect my junior brother to help me like this! By the way, I don't know how my junior brother has been doing well in the Heavenly Star Vein in the past few years?"

"Shizun and I are from the same Bashan tribe, and they are very good to me, but they are a little stricter. Gao Gong said helplessly.

Lin Xi said with a smile, "It seems that Senior Uncle Yin really attaches great importance to his junior brother, which is not a bad thing. ”

Gao Gong shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, Senior Brother may not believe it, it's been three years, and it was only a few months ago that Shizun took me back to the tribe once, and before that, I wasn't even allowed to go down the mountain." ”

Lin Xi smiled dumbly, "This is also too strict." ”

"Ahh

Gao Gong sighed, and was about to say something, when his eyes suddenly glanced at the top of the mountain not far away, and his expression changed, "The real person in charge is down, it is estimated that the big competition is about to start, Senior Brother Lin, you and I will see you in the big competition!"

Lin Xi followed his gaze and looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, and saw that Liu Fengtao and the others had indeed gone down the mountain, nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two immediately said goodbye, and after Lin Ximu saw him off, he returned to the Tianyun Vein team, and not long after, Lan Fengrong and Shao Yun also came over, and as for Qin Guan, he and Liu Fengtao and others boarded a high platform in front of the ring.

A group of Tianyun Vein disciples hurriedly greeted, "I've seen Uncle and Aunt!"

Shao Yun nodded, but didn't say anything, Lan Feng said, "The competition is about to start, you have to be more competitive, you know?"

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

Lan Fengrong said again, "Most of you already know the rules, wait a while and disperse on your own, in the last big competition, the disciples who ranked in the top 100 found their own ring and sat down, as for the others, whether they have confidence in themselves or not, try to go up and hone it, the senior brother in charge may have spoken a little too much before, don't worry too much, I will take care of something happening!"

"Yes, thank you, auntie!" everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

Lan Fengrong smiled slightly, and immediately let Lin Xi's four newcomers stay, and dismissed the remaining people. Then, she looked at the four of them and said, "It's your first time participating in the big competition, and you may not know the rules very well, so I'll just say a few words." ”

"There are only the top 100 rankings in this competition, which is divided into ten competition venues, that is, the ten rings you see, and at the beginning of the competition, you can challenge the people in the ring at will, but don't take turns to challenge the same person, this is a big taboo in this door. Dabi is a two-day total, you must take advantage of it. ”

The four of them nodded hurriedly.

Lan Fengrong continued, "It's not too early, you guys should disperse, I've been here all the time during the big competition, if anything happens, come to me in time." ”

"Yes. The four of them answered, and immediately walked towards several rings.

Lan Fengrong looked at Lin Xi's back and sighed silently in his heart, at this time, Shao Yun suddenly said, "When did he enter the Divine Soul Realm?"

Lan Fengrong said, "Just two days ago. ”

Shao Yun nodded, and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, with the sound of a crisp bell, the originally noisy square suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at the high platform not far away.

Liu Fengtao left his seat, looked around at the countless disciples in the audience, and said loudly, "The competition begins!"

He flicked his sleeve robe, turned around and walked back to his seat, and the bell rang again, one higher than the other, which made people feel a kind of blood boiling when they heard it.

The disciples in the square immediately moved, and almost at the same time rushed to the front few rings, and those who could stand in these rings were all the disciples who were ranked higher in the last ring, and their attraction was naturally much higher than that of the last few rings.

Lin Xi also walked forward along the crowd, the flow of people was like water, and before he knew it, he had come to the first ring, and when he looked into the field, he couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, there were only eight of the ten people who were supposed to appear in the No. 1 ring, and the first and second seats were empty.

Not only that, but there are many vacant seats in the No. 2 and No. 3 rings at the moment, which look extremely conspicuous.

The onlookers immediately exchanged their heads.

On the high platform, several palms glanced at each other, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

At this time, I only heard Liu Fengtao in the center of the seat cough lightly, and said, "Rong'er, she has entered the stage half a year ago, and she went down the mountain a few days ago to practice, and now she should have left Youzhou." ”

As he said this, there was an uproar.

In the sect, once a disciple enters the ranks, he is either awarded the position of elder or goes out to practice, which is a common time, but in the Moisan Sword Mansion, this matter has a special significance.

Gongsun Rong is the first disciple to advance to the rank since the establishment of the Moisan Sword Mansion!
