Chapter 340 Introductory Selection
Kou Hao had drunk a lot of good wine before, so the wine here made Kou Hao feel that it could only be said to be okay.
And the monster meat on the plate is really good, with a unique flavor.
In Kou Hao's opinion, these are not the most important things. Fortunately, in this strange place, someone can drink and chat with Kou Hao, which is exactly what he said, there is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor.
Not only because Kou Hao is a person from the next generation, but also because Kou Hao has experienced in many martial arts worlds before and has quite a broad insight.
Kou Hao said these words, the two female disciples and Zhang Lie couldn't understand it, but they thought it was very interesting, as if they were pestering adults to listen to stories when they were children.
When the female disciple asked Kou Hao how many years he had joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, Kou Hao said calmly: "I waited a few days to join, and I haven't passed tomorrow's selection competition." ”
The two of them were quite stunned, they had always treated Kou Hao as a senior brother before, but they didn't expect to call the newcomer a senior brother, which was really a little embarrassing.
"You two don't have such surprised expressions, or I'll call you senior sister. Kou Hao smiled lightly.
"Where is this to say, with your ability, demeanor, and eloquence, you are enough to be our senior brother. Senior brother, you are so good!" The female disciple on the left was named Xiao Ran, and she immediately poured wine for Kou Hao.
The female disciple on the right, Xiao Dan, was picking up vegetables for Kou Hao, and Zhang Lie watched from the side in a daze, feeling that it was really incredible.
After the wine was gone, they drifted away, Zhang Lie leaned into Kou Hao's ear, and whispered: "In fact, on this Yunshi Ancient Town, restaurants can be accommodated, don't you have other ideas?"
"Let's think about it later, I have to concentrate on cultivation tonight to deal with tomorrow's entry selection. It seemed that you were very down-to-earth before, but I didn't expect you to be a scheming guy. Kou Hao patted Zhang Lie's shoulder and smiled.
Zhang Lie sneered: "We are all adults, it is normal to think about these things, do we have to pretend to be high?"
Xiao Ran vaguely heard this, so he leaned over and said, "Oh, what are you going to play?
"I'm going too, but don't be so unjust. Xiao Dan also ran over anxiously.
Kou Hao was speechless, but said, "I hope I can successfully pass the entry selection, so that I can stay in the Heavenly Sword Sect and see you again in the future." ”
"You can do it, this is where our cabin is located, you can come to us later. Xiao Ran immediately handed a jade plaque to Kou Hao, which was engraved with a very delicate map and the location number of the house, which was somewhat similar to the business cards of later generations.
And using jade as a business card is really a bit extravagant, and they are willing to hand the jade business card to Kou Hao, which shows that they value Kou Hao.
Kou Hao thanked him, and after they walked out of Yunshi Ancient Town, they dispersed.
Zhang Lie said at the time of parting that tomorrow there will be a special deacon to take the people who came to participate in the selection to the back mountain, and everything will follow the instructions.
Kou Hao had nothing to worry about, so he returned to the branch of the ancient tree before and meditated and cultivated.
In the middle of the night, Kou Hao's sensitive feeling found that there were other people on top of the ancient trees around him, which made Kou Hao's heart sink.
"Could it be that my style of doing things is too weird, and I am directly targeted by others?" Kou Hao said in his heart.
Kou Hao has never been a passive person, and immediately used the trick of free-spirited wind control and sneaked past. Then I found that on the branch of an ancient tree nearby, there was an emaciated young man meditating and cultivating on his knees. He was the same person who had tried to steal the jade tablet last night, and he looked very embarrassed and funny with a bandage on his head.
"Even if you're going to try to steal the jade tablet tonight, you shouldn't stay on the branches, but do something practical. Kou Hao frowned.
"Don't you know, hero, I'm preparing for tomorrow's entry selection. You see, I'll be able to pass tomorrow. The emaciated youth said.
"And me, I must do the same. A deep voice came from under the tree.
Kou Hao looked down, but found that it was the tall man who stole the jade tablet last night, and he did not perform light skills, but climbed the tree.
"Is that okay? There is no master's demeanor at all, and I am really worried about what will happen to you tomorrow. ”
Kou Hao sighed deeply and said, "It is very clear above the list that once you die in the process of the entry selection competition, it is completely your own responsibility, and the Heavenly Sword Sect will not pay attention to it at all. ”
"When a man is self-reliant, he must work hard. The tall man said with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Kou Hao was speechless, he didn't expect that the two thieves who were still stealing chickens and dogs yesterday had changed so much today.
Since both of them had such a firm determination, it was inconvenient for Kou Hao to say anything to hit them, so he nodded and said, "Then you two should work hard, and I look forward to seeing you in the Heavenly Sword Gate often in the future." ”
"Hero, if we unfortunately die in the introductory selection, please bury us, okay? My tombstone is written as a prince, and his tombstone is written as Li Zhou. The emaciated young man said solemnly.
"Look at what you said so exaggeratedly, in fact, the Heavenly Sword Sect, as a major sect, should be able to bury the sacrificed outsiders, which is completely unnecessary. Kou Hao laughed.
The emaciated young prince said solemnly: "This is not true, I heard that the people who died in the selection competition in the past were directly thrown into the valley, which is really too sad. ”
Kou Hao was silent for a moment, feeling that this rule was indeed too cruel, but now he is soft-spoken, and he can't change anything. Immediately, Kou Hao sighed and said, "Okay, I agree to your request. If you are found dead, you will be buried and a monument will be erected. ”
Then they each devoted themselves to cultivation, and the night passed quickly, and the morning sun shone through the mist on the land, and everything was full of life.
Kou Hao waited at the foot of the mountain, where more than a thousand people had gathered, and more were coming here as time passed. They all came with dreams, and some of them retreated because of fear of death and hardship, but there were still a lot of people left.
The emaciated young prince and the tall man Li Zhou were both here, the former holding a pitch-black dagger, while the latter was carrying a silver-shining Fang Tian painting halberd.
"I can't see it, you're quite majestic. Kou Hao walked over and smiled.
"That night was not a bad idea from this thin monkey, in fact, I always wanted to be a hero. Li Zhou frowned and complained.
Kou Hao nodded and said, "I see, I wish you good luck." ”
Half an hour later, more than 2,500 people had gathered here, which was very lively. In general, the martial arts of so many people are considered mixed.
Then ten white-clothed deacons came, all of them carrying very good swords, and they looked imposing.
The martial artists of the Heavenly Sword Sect may not all practice swords, but there are many powerful swordsmen, and to be able to be selected as a deacon, their strength is outstanding.
"Next, you are going to follow our ten deacons to participate in the entry selection of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there are five levels, and there are many dangers. Life and death depend on fate, so now I advise you that if you are afraid of death or serious injury, it is still too late to quit. The deacon of the Yushu Linfeng at the head said loudly.
No one has opted out, and they have come here to say that they have made a decision and will never change it.
Then, Kou Hao followed the crowd and walked towards the back mountain of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It must be known that the Heavenly Sword Sect has quite a lot of mountain ranges, and the back mountains are quite a wide range.
"The first level is to see your strength. Only those who can lift more than 300 pounds are qualified. The deacon said.
In the valley in front, there are a lot of stones, and the smallest one is engraved with the handwriting of "three hundred catties" with a sword, which is actually very large. There were bigger rocks around, and the deacon explained that if everyone tried to lift as much weight as possible to their limit, he would register it, and in the end it would have an impact on the overall score.
In Kou Hao's later society, ordinary people were able to lift a hundred catties of stones, but in the Zichen martial arts world, the aura was quite abundant, and it was normal to be able to lift three hundred catties.
The intention of the Heavenly Sword Sect is obvious, for people who do not have normal physical strength, it is absolutely unwanted, that means congenital deficiency. And it is not too difficult for some women to lift 300 catties of stones when they exert their internal strength.
Therefore, there were only more than 240 people who were eliminated at the first level, and they were indeed too weak.
Kou Hao didn't want to be too high-profile, but just used part of the internal force, exerted a great shift, and lifted a thousand catties of boulder. This is far from reaching Kou Hao's limit, but it is still a very good result, and he was registered by the deacon.
The emaciated young prince used all his internal strength, and lifted a five-hundred-pound stone with a strange scream, while the tall man Li Zhou lifted an eight-hundred-pound boulder, which was really good.
When you get out of this valley, you will reach the second level, here is the miasma array, thick with dark green miasma, not only terrible smell, but also full of danger.
"In an hour, find the entrance to the next valley. If you can't, go back. After an hour, we tried our best to save people, but such a huge miasma valley could only save some people. Do it yourself!" said the deacon of Yushu's wind.
Arriving here, someone was frightened by the miasma and retreated more than a hundred people.
Then, with an order, everyone covered their faces with wet cloths and rushed in, although this had a defensive effect, but it did not have much effect.
Kou Hao knew that the so-called miasma was the miasma emitted by the accumulation of dead branches and leaves and the rotting corpses of animals in the deep mountains and old forests after a long time, which was full of poison.
There was no threat to Kou Hao, because he had drunk a lot of phoenix blood and refined the East China Sea dragon blood wood, so he walked forward quite calmly.
In this miasma valley, visibility is quite low, and there are many bones on the ground, some of which are beasts. For a long time, this place has been used as a place for the entry selection of the Heavenly Sword Sect many times, and countless people have died here.
Some bones have been weathered for so long that they can crumble into powder if they are stepped on slightly. (To be continued.) )
