Chapter 14: The Illusion in the Piano
Halfway through the flight, Xiao Chen's divine sense swept back, and seeing Xiao Wan'er cowardly on the edge of the cliff, she didn't dare to take a step, shook her head and sighed, flew back again, wrapped her thin waist, and flew to the opposite side with her in her arms.
"How can this be! This is obvious cheating! Points must be deducted!" the surroundings immediately protested.
The senior brother on the ground coughed: "They are a group, so it is not a violation." ”
After a while, Xiao Chen fell to the opposite cliff, and Xiao Leng glanced at the two of them coldly: "It's so slow, I thought you fell." ”
Xiao Chen smiled lightly and put Xiao Wan'er down, Xiao Wan'er's face turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "Cousin Xiao Chen, thank you......"
She never thought that the person she looked down on in the past would now need his help.
Two hours later, everyone arrived at the cliff here, there is no doubt that Xiao Chen and the other three all got ten points, Xiao Chen looked at the bottom of the cliff, and whispered to himself: "I hope that demon girl accidentally fell, and no one catches ......"
Just as he could finish speaking, a voice as clear as a silver bell suddenly sounded behind him: "Xiao Chen, are you talking about me?"
Xiao Chen's whole body was excited, turned around, and beckoned with a smile: "Hey, Miss Shangguan, long time no see!"
Shangguan Yan grinned and winked at him: "Don't be so polite, we will be brothers and sisters in the same family in the future, don't worry, the senior sister will cover you." ”
Brothers and sisters in the same class...... Xiao Chen suddenly felt a dark cloud looming overhead.
The Shangguan family is also a martial arts family, and it is as famous as the Xiao family, but the difference is that the Shangguan family got a Miao Jiang high finger hundreds of years ago and cultivated a terrifying Gu technique.
Although Shangguan Yan's father Shangguan Fei and Xiao Chen's father are close friends and are like brothers, when Xiao Chen was young, he was bitten by a black centipede released by Shangguan Yan, and the shadow of his childhood has not disappeared until now.
At this moment, in a small pavilion on the top of Lingtai Mountain, there are four people sitting cross-legged on the futon, and in the middle is a large mirror, which is showing the situation under the mountain.
Among the four people, there was a young woman in white, who was the same woman who had asked for medical expenses before, it was the third elder Bai Ying, next to him was the white-bearded old man holding an astrolabe, who was the second elder, and the other two were the fourth elder and the fifth elder.
The second elder stroked his beard and said, "Alas, it seems that the disciples who came to sign up this time are all mediocre in qualifications......
The third elder Bai Ying yawned: "What's the hurry, isn't it only the first round, besides, aren't there a few people who seem to have a bit of martial arts foundation? ”
"It's a bit of a martial arts foundation, but in the end, it depends on how many spiritual veins there are......"
......
After another hour of incense at the foot of the mountain, two new senior brothers came over, one of them was holding a bamboo slip, he opened the bamboo slip and said, "Well, the next round is the second round of assessment, and the topic of the second round of assessment is...... He wiped his eyes vigorously at the end of the reading, making sure that he was not mistaken.
"What! Are you the champions? Why do you still have to take the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting exams? Are there four books and five classics next?"
The senior brother glared at the junior brother beside him: "Bastard, did you take the wrong bamboo slip!"
The junior brother said with a bitter face: "No...... It seems that the second elder has added a new topic in order to increase the difficulty of the assessment and improve the cultural quality of the whole people......"
Xiao Han and Xiao Wan'er frowned deeply, Xiao Chen smiled silently on the side, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, came just right, he learned calligraphy and painting with his mother since he was a child, and learned to play with his grandfather, as for the piano at the head of the four arts, he dared to be conceited and claimed to be unparalleled in the world.
Because his piano skills were taught by Ling Yin himself, Ling Yin was known as the Miaoyin Fairy, and the two of them played the piano flute and Ming, intimidating countless demons and monsters.
Just when the surroundings were about to fall into chaos, a senior brother stood up, coughed and said: "Don't panic, everyone, this qinqi calligraphy and painting is not the traditional sense of qinqi calligraphy and painting, but four illusions, the so-called illusion is born from the heart, even if you don't know the qinqi calligraphy and painting in reality, it may not be impossible, everyone can choose a fantasy to enter, start now." ”
Saying that, the hand flicked back, the clouds and mist dispersed, showing four holes, each hole is covered with a formation barrier, the first barrier presents a yaoqin, the second is a chessboard, the third is calligraphy, the fourth barrier is a majestic mountain and river map, the picture of three mountains and five mountains straight into the sky, rare birds and beasts come and go, as if the real general, is the painting realm.
Everyone chose their own familiar illusion to enter, Xiao Wan'er pinched her palms and hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and walked towards the painting realm, Xiao Han kicked up a stone, the stone bullet bounced back and forth, and finally fell in front of the book realm, he shook his head and went to the book realm.
Xiao Chen is the best at the piano, naturally walked to the piano realm, as soon as he entered the illusion, the surrounding scene changed instantly, he arrived at the edge of a cliff, only to see four cold smoke filled, like a fairyland, suspended in the air with countless island palaces, the sea of clouds from time to time there are cranes passing by, it is very frightening, among the green foothills below, countless rare birds and beasts run back and forth.
His eyes gradually blurred, because this was the Zixiao Peak where he lived with Master Ling Yin back then, and there were seven dangerous peaks in the Xuanqing Gate, and Zixiao Peak was one of them.
Suddenly, a piano sound sounded in his ears, from far and near, following the prestige, but he saw a young man who was exactly the same as him sitting on the ground, the young man was dressed in white and did not stick to fireworks, a red jade pendant was hung on his waist, and a yaoqin was placed in front of him.
Suddenly, the sea of clouds churned and rushed to both sides, and a figure fluttered in the air, it was a fairy in green clothes, and she stood with her sword.
"Master, you're here. The young man in white said.
The fairy in Tsing Yi bowed slightly, and said: "Your fate is full of mysteries, and you can't solve it as a teacher, have you made progress yourself in the past few days?"
The young man in white shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fu Xiqin's soul was born arrogant, he said that I was too weak...... These days, I was so angry that I didn't say a word. ”
The fairy in Tsing Yi nodded and said: "Chen'er, you don't need to be discouraged, the night is an ancient soul, and it is not easy to get its approval, you can play another song and listen to it as a teacher." ”
"Good!" the young man fell, his hands were immediately spread, his sleeves were blowing, his long hair behind his back was lightly raised, his ten fingers were like phantoms, and the sound of the piano floated to the end of the heaven and earth, and the sound of the piano was long and long, continuous and endless.
This song seems to be played for thousands of years.
Xiao Chen's eyes gradually turned red, and he wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound anyway, at this moment, the master was obviously so close to him, but it was separated by two time and space, out of reach.
Suddenly, a yaoqin appeared in front of him, and he understood that he only needed to play a few strings casually to pass the illusion assessment, but at this moment, how much he wanted to look at the master again, even if it was only for a short time of incense.
At the last moment, the hour of a stick of incense came, and he was forcibly teleported.
There have been a lot of people around, Xiao Wan'er chose the painting realm and barely got five points, Xiao Han stumbled into it and scored seven points, as for Xiao Chen, he was nostalgic for the illusion and refused to come out, so it was naturally counted as a failure in this round of assessment, with zero points.
Xiao Wan'er saw that he had only come out for so long, her eyes were still red, and she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you...... Aren't you the best at playing the piano?"
Xiao Chen didn't speak, Xiao Leng smiled coldly: "It's all said that illusion is born from the heart, probably because he saw something, and he was reluctant to come out." ”
A senior brother in charge of the assessment said loudly: "Okay, quiet, everyone has performed well in this round of fetters assessment, and there are not many fetters in their hearts, so please be careful in the next round, the full score is thirty points, but you may be injured." With that, the sleeves of his coat flicked back, and eight black caves suddenly appeared on the rock wall.
"Three incense time, you must go through the cave, you can go in together, but after you go in, you can't see other people, and you can't hear other people talking, it is worth mentioning that if you can't pass this assessment, then you can't participate in the next assessment, and you can count it as eliminated, and you can only wait for the next entry assessment. ”
As soon as he said this, there was an endless discussion all around, that is, if he could not pass this time, then there would be no chance, and once the three incense sticks passed, more than half of the people would leave in a huff, and many people rushed to the cave.
Xiao Wan'er clenched her palms tightly and said anxiously: "What should I do? If I can't pass this time, I won't have a chance!"
Xiao Leng snorted, and was about to step towards the third cave, Xiao Chen said: "That's the door of death, I suggest you go to the fifth." ”
When several senior brothers in charge of the assessment heard this, their faces showed a little surprise.
Xiao Chen put away Fang Cai's frustrated mood, smiled faintly, and then walked to the fifth cave, Xiao Wan'er shouted: "Wait for me!" and followed, Xiao Han hesitated slightly, and still walked to the fifth cave.
The rest hesitated for a moment, then rushed into the fifth cave.
After everyone had finished entering, a senior brother shook his head and smiled: "What's the use of running so fast, this Qimen Dunjia Formation can't be broken by running fast." ”
Another junior brother said with a smile: "Anyway, you almost ran out of three incense sticks back then, so you barely passed, right?"
"Cut, then you're not the same, why don't we compare the speed of Edgeworth this time?"
"It's better than that, the person who loses will serve tea and pour foot wash for the other party within three months!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them took two sword lights, one left and one right, to the other side of the mountain.
