Now the three mages of the Heavenly Master Sect are the focus of everyone's attention, and even Xingyan is no exception. Zhang Yun'er and Bao Chuxiong's answer naturally fell in his eyes.

At this time, Xingyan saved his identity, and hurriedly pulled Qiong Wei out of the crowd and came to these people.

Walk up to the front and salute with a sober word:

"Zhang Xingyan of Shangqing Palace has seen all the Taoist friends of the Heavenly Master Sect. I just witnessed your talismans, and they are really wonderful, which is really breathtaking!"

Seeing the words and salutes, Lin Xu and the three of them returned the salute slightly. However, compared with the enthusiasm of Xingyan, the reaction of Lin Xu and the others was relatively cold. I only heard Lin Xu say:

"Hall Master Zhang has won the award. Actually, I should congratulate the hall master. ”

"Why?"

"Master Zhang Tang has been in the Shangqing Palace for three or four months, and he has been so reused, and he has been sent to take charge of himself, so he naturally wants to congratulate. ”

"Heh~ Where is it, let Brother Lin Dao smile. ”

is polite on the lips, but there is something strange in Xingyan's heart:

He was not familiar with Lin Xu and the others, but listening to the meaning of what he said, he seemed to know himself quite well.

Just as he was puzzled, he heard that Lin Xu continued:

"Hall Master Zhang was able to enter the Qing Palace in March, and at the end of March, he left Horseshoe Mountain and went to Luofu Mountain to serve as the hall master of the Four Seas Hall. Except for one month on the road, it is calculated that Hall Master Zhang has only been in Shangqing Palace for more than two months. After such a short period of time, he was sent to take on this important task, presumably he must have learned the subtle Dao method of the Qing Dynasty?"

After a slight pause, Lin Xu, who didn't have any expression just now, now had a smile on his face:

"I wonder if Hall Master Zhang can also let me wait to open my eyes?"

As soon as Lin Xu's proposal fell, a cheer sounded around him, urging this Hall Master Zhang to hurry up and practice the magical Dao method-

The true colors of the martial artists are happy and lively, and the vigorous talismans of Lin Xu and the others just now made them stunned. When I was still unsatisfied, I suddenly heard that the Taoist boy who was watching the excitement with them just now was actually the hall master of the Shangqing Palace, and immediately, these soldiers cheered loudly, urging Xingyan to hurry up!

Now among all the sergeants, only Bao Chuxiong's mood is not so high. After hearing Lin Xu's words, Bao Duwei almost completely lost confidence in Xingyan.

Lin Xu suddenly proposed this, and Xingyan was a little caught off guard. However, after hearing these words, Xing Yan had roughly guessed the reason for the strange looks of these Heavenly Master Sect friends:

It was probably because more than four months ago, he rejected their sect's proposal that Master Sheng Tian accept him as a disciple, and instead went to the Shangqing Palace.

However, although he figured out this verse, he felt that this pimple was not easy to explain now, and there was no need to explain it. Now he's pondering:

"Looking at the atmosphere in the arena, it looks like we have to show our hands today. Well, let's show me my most skillful attack spell: 'Ice Heart Knot'!"

After making up his mind, Xingyan turned around and hugged his fists around, and said loudly:

"Okay, since it's hard to be gracious, then I'll come to offer a scandal today!"

Hearing that the young man agreed to the performance, the voices around him suddenly subsided. Everyone began to stare intently at the young Taoist priest's every move.

Walking into the school field, Xingyan looked around, but found that there were smooth and slippery yellow mud fields everywhere nearby, and there was no suitable target for the spell - you can't just cast this powerful "Ice Heart Knot" on any soldier, right?

However, when I looked around, I caught a glimpse of a stake tied to a horse, and a lonely tree was not far away. This three- or four-foot-high wooden stake is slightly dry brown, and it is obvious that it has been weathered by the wind.

"Everyone, I will apply the 'Ice Heart Knot' technique to that stake!"

As soon as the words fell, Xingyan condensed slightly, and a spell of ice heart knot instantly flashed down to the tethered horse stake.

Such a quick casting naturally shows that the caster has a superb understanding of the spell, as well as a high level of Dao power.

It's a pity that Xingyan's spell casting style is very different from those Heavenly Master disciples, fast or fast, but the onlookers can't see any way, and they are still paying attention to Xingyan to see how he is going to cast the spell.

Seeing that everyone did not react, Xingyan had no choice but to remind him, and at this time, everyone realized that the young Taoist priest had finished casting the spell.

Seeing that most of the faces of everyone showed a look of ignorance and confusion, Xingyan asked a nearby military man to let him check the stake.

Under everyone's curious gaze, the sergeant walked up to the stake and reached out to touch it with trembling trembling......

It was strange to everyone that the brother, who had cowered a little at first, was now keeping his hand on the stake and would not move it again.

"It's weird!"

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Xingyan also asked eagerly on the side:

"How's it going?"

"Yes, it's cold, it's cool!"

“......”

"Haha~"

Before everyone could react, a loud laugh was heard from the crowd.

This laughter came from Lin Xu's mouth:

"Haha! Hall Master Zhang's spell is really interesting. The summer is scorching, just right to cool off!"

Hearing Lin Xu's words, the sergeants in the audience immediately understood, and they also laughed. At this time, even Zhang Yun'er, who was quite dignified, couldn't help but smile when she heard what her senior brother said interestingly.

And the little girl thought that Lin Xu was praising her brother, so she also laughed happily.

"Heh! I'm smiling~"

Seeing that his own spell had achieved such an unexpected effect, Xingyan also felt a little embarrassed, touched his head and laughed twice.

"Actually, it's already very good that Hall Master Zhang can cast such a spell. After all, Hall Master Zhang had only stayed on Luofu Mountain for just two months. ”

Seeing that Xingyan was embarrassed, that senior brother Sheng Heng Tang Sheng couldn't help but speak of relief.

And that Bao Chuxiong Bao Duwei now has a lot of changes in his impression of Xingyan. I heard Lin Xu say just now that this young man had only been on Luofu Mountain for two months, and Bao Chuxiong had a sense of sudden enlightenment. Thinking about it again, in fact, I can't blame this young man, and I can only blame the seniors on Luofu Mountain who are above the top, because they did such a thing to catch ducks on the shelves.

Thinking about it this way, Bao Duwei's attitude towards Xingyan became much more relaxed. Seeing the embarrassment of Xingyan, Bao Chuxiong also followed suit:

"Daoist Sheng is right, it is not easy to have such a spell in just two months! In fact, Hall Master Zhang's insight is also extraordinary, in terms of how to deal with demons and arson, he thinks of going together with the Daoist of the Heavenly Master Sect!"

"Oh?"

Lin Xu and the three of them all showed curiosity.

"Hall Master Zhang also mentioned that I would paint a fire-avoiding charm on the clothes and armor of my subordinates, so that the demon bandits could be wiped out!"

"Avoiding fire, charms?"

As soon as he heard this, Celestial Master Zong Lin Xu, who had always been conceited with a talisman, couldn't help but smile a little.

After straightening his face a little, Lin Xu hugged his fist at Captain Bao and said:

"Hall Master Zhang's insight is really outstanding. Lord Bao, it suddenly occurred to me that since this expedition to suppress bandits mainly relied on the army's military horses to fight, this fire avoidance charm was naturally extremely important. It's better to let Hall Master Zhang and Senior Brother Sheng come to the audition in advance to see the exact effect of the fire avoidance talisman. What do you think?"

"Okay! That's exactly what I wanted. Conquest is no child's play, and this fire avoidance charm cannot afford to slip away. Sheng Dao Chang and Hall Master Zhang, I don't know what the two of you think?"

As soon as the surrounding sergeants heard this answer, they naturally started to make noise again-just now I saw Xingyan showing the ice heart knot, and I didn't know why, and I was very unhappy. Now I can hear the meaning of Lin Dao's words, if you want to let this Heavenly Master Sect compete with the disciples of the Shangqing Palace, it is naturally turbulent, and the voice of agitation is extremely loud.

"Well, it's okay, it's a rehearsal, and it's good that when you are about to fight, you can be more assured and bold to chase through the fire. ”

Sheng Heng Tang pondered slightly, and then agreed to the proposal of his junior brother and Bao Duwei. Unlike Lin Xu, who was strong in blood, Sheng Hengtang didn't want to compete with the people of the Shangqing Palace.

Hearing that the three of them were quite reasonable, Xingyan also nodded in agreement:

"Okay, then give it a try. ”

I don't care what others think, but now I am still a little happy in my heart:

It seems that he is not completely unable to help this time against bandits.

"Don't you want to use my special rune ink?"

Sheng Hengtang looked at Xingyan for a while, and didn't see any bottles and cans on him, so he kindly proposed.

"Special rune ink?"

"Exactly, this is the ink made by this sect with a secret method, the aura is contained, and it does not condense for a long time, multiplying the power of the talisman. Don't you want to try it?"

"Ahh

"You're welcome. I don't know which military master would like to try the fire avoidance talisman of the poor road?"

As soon as Sheng Hengtang's voice fell, several sergeants rushed out. Sheng Hengtang picked the one who came first.

Although the soldiers who applied for the Sheng Heng Tang Fu Gong audition were so enthusiastic, when it was their turn to shout, they were all deaf, you look at me, I look at you, but no one is willing to take the initiative to come forward and try.

Just as he was embarrassed, he suddenly saw a sergeant come out of the crowd and rush to Xingyan's side-

Seeing that someone was finally willing to come forward, Xingyan couldn't help but be greatly moved, and hurriedly supported the military man who rushed over, and said gratefully:

"Warrior~ Thank you!"

Who knows, the man didn't have time to answer for a while, so he looked back and scolded:

"Zhao Laoliu, you bastard, dare to make such a joke with me!"

"It's wronged! it's Qian Damao, the thief who pushed you......"

The crowd resounded with Zhao Laoliu's shouting.

was crooked, and suddenly heard Captain Bao interrupt and shouted:

"Shut your beaks for me!In front of all the masters, what kind of system are you yelling like this?!"

Seeing that the lieutenant was angry, these soldiers hurriedly kept silent.

After a burst of chickens and dogs, the two of them finally began to prepare to draw charms on the light armor of these two soldiers.

It's just that after waiting for a while, Sun Xiaoyi, the soldier who asked Xingyan to draw talismans, saw that the Sheng Dao chief next to him had begun to draw the talisman, but there was no movement on his back, so he felt a little strange.

The more quiet it is, the more furious Sun Xiaoyi's heart becomes. Immediately, he turned his face to see what the little Taoist master was doing:

"Oh~ I was reading a book. ”

He saw Xingyan spreading out a scripture book full of strange lines and studying it carefully.

"Master Dao, where are you?"

Sun Xiaoyi was a little curious.

"Heh~ I'm looking at the rune spectrum. ”

"Don't hide it from this military master, I don't usually draw many talismans. Although I have memorized the rune of this fire avoidance talisman before going down the mountain, I still want to read it again for the sake of insurance. ”

"Oh, that makes sense. It's like grinding our guns...... Huh?!"

“^#*@^★#!*☆~@!”

- Although there are clouds in the sky and a breeze on the ground, this Sun Xiaoyi suddenly felt dizzy and felt as if he was about to faint from heat stroke......

Fortunately, his hands and feet were quite sharp after Xingyan, and just before Sun Xiaoyi really fainted, he finally drew a fire avoidance charm on the light armor behind his back.

Seeing that the two of them had finished drawing talismans, Lin Xu took out a pre-made talisman from his arms and threw it into the empty space in the distance. Immediately, a raging flame rose from the clearing, and it burned into a sea of fire.

Needless to say, Lin Xu created this sea of fire, and naturally asked Sun Xiaoyi and the others to go there to fight the fire.

Seeing that Xingyan was also ready, Sheng Hengtang said:

"Now, please ask the two military masters to pass through the fire in front of you - don't be afraid, the fire amulet will keep you safe. ”

"Good!"

In a short time, the brave sergeant calmly waded through the sea of fire, and then turned back to the crowd:

"Wow! That's amazing! ”

Now the sergeant, proud as a hero returning from triumph, made a round of his circle in front of the onlookers, letting them see how safe he had walked through the fire.

Although this hero's face is still painted with some smoky charcoal marks on his face, as the saying goes, "water and fire are ruthless", after all, he has walked through the fire just now, and it is already very good to be able to do this!

"Huh, Sun Xiaoyi, why are you still in the same place?"

After checking the effect of the spell, Bao Duwei was excited, but saw that the soldier in front of Xingyan was like the stake that tied the horse, nailed to the spot motionless.

At this time, the fire caused by Lin Xu's talisman had gradually weakened.

"Ahem, Sun Xiaoyi, if you don't come over again, I'll order someone to beat you with twenty sticks!"

Seeing that Sun Xiaoyi was so timid, Bao Chuxiong began to intimidate.

Frightened by Bao Chuxiong like this, Sun Xiaoyi had no choice but to walk towards the terrifying flame in front of him. While moving, I kept praying in my heart, hoping that the gods in the heavens and the earth who passed by here would show their might, and bless themselves with the fire amulet drawn by the apprentice on their backs, so that they could really come back with their own sandwiches!

However, Sun Xiaoyi was slightly comforted by the fact that the flame in front of him had weakened a lot after his own tempering.

"Well, it's better not to be the first to be a man, look at this heat, at most you can be three familiar......"

When he was thinking like this, he was caught in this fire in the blink of an eye.

Who knows, just when this lucky Sun Xiaoyi entered the fire and began to use his strength to run wildly, he only heard a "boom", and the flames around him, which had been weakened, suddenly rose vigorously again, and the tongue of fire spitted out, and the light and flames were sparkling, even burning more vigorously than the original!

"Uh, could it be that my talisman making skills have taken it to the next level?"

Witnessing this situation, Lin Xu was surprised and happy in his heart.

——But no one noticed that the little girl who was carrying the master of the Shangqing Palace, was muttering there:

"It's strange~ Xingyan brother's paper talisman is the most spiritual, why does that big brother always refuse to go forward? The fire is about to go out~"

"But it's okay, I'll heat it up again!"

Xiao Qiongwei's enthusiasm doesn't matter, but in the sea of fire, there was a heart-rending scream!

"It's broken! That little brother Yi is burned out!"

Just when everyone was frightened, they suddenly saw a figure stumbling out of the steaming and vigorous sea of fire!

When I looked closely, this person was the soldier Sun Xiaoyi, who was suspected of having died in the line of duty!

At this moment, this Sun Xiaoyi was grinning his teeth, pulling his neck and letting out a terrifying scream. Hearing this cry so miserable, Xingyan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart:

"That's it, it's still not enough - I can't imagine that this fire-avoiding talisman drawn with my heart will fail today......"

But fortunately, this little soldier brother still rushed out and was rescued. If it really kills someone, I will die without redemption!"

When he was panicking, several soldiers rushed up, all of them supported Sun Xiaoyi, and prepared to drag him to the distant canal.

"Is there a military doctor? Where is the nearest burn doctor here?"

It was the awakening that screamed there.

"Huh, why don't you see any scars on your body?"

In the chaos, a sergeant who was supporting Sun Xiaoyi suddenly noticed that there was nothing unusual on his body, not even the burnt fire marks, and immediately asked.

“...... Uh, yes, I, I don't seem to be dead!"

Hearing the brothers' questions, Sun Xiaoyi, who had been crying wolf, also stopped shouting at this time, broke free from everyone, and began to scramble to inspect his whole body.

"Hehe, hehehe, it's really nothing!"

After some careful inspection, Sun Xiaoyi began to giggle.

"Could it be an internal injury? Do you feel pain somewhere in your chest and abdomen?"

The other sergeant asked with concern.

"Huh?!"

Hearing him remind him like this, Sun Xiaoyi suddenly felt that something was wrong:

"Oh no! Why do I feel that my legs are weak, and my heart is beating wildly?!"

"Shut up! You're scared. ”

At this time, Bao Chuxiong also came over, and when he heard Sun Xiaoyi's words, he immediately laughed and scolded.

"Hehehe, the adults have taught me a lesson, and they are scared - the villain really has nothing to do!"

"Then what the hell did you just call?!"

"It's also scared ......"

"you!"

Bao Chuxiong was angry and funny when he heard this, and kicked Sun Xiaoyi's ass horizontally, making him grin again. However, this time he never dared to call out again.

"Wonderful! I didn't expect that Hall Master Zhang also had such profound attainments in this talisman. Shangqing is not long in talismans, and Hall Master Zhang can be regarded as an outlier in your family! ”

It was Sheng Hengtang who spoke.

This Senior Brother Sheng of the Heavenly Master Sect is an expert, just looking at this small fire avoidance talisman, he knows that the young man in front of him, the talisman cultivation is definitely not below him. Immediately, this Sheng Hengtang, who was obsessed with the cultivation of talismans, became friends with Xingyan.

Such a result was much more unexpected than Lin Xu, who was waiting to see the joke. However, just now I witnessed the effect of the talisman of the awakening words, and now Lin Xu also slightly put away his contempt, and praised the young man a few words.

And Zhang Yun'er, who was beside him, looked at Xingyan with a smile on his face, and said in his heart:

"No wonder Daddy kept the boy on his lips for several days after he came back from Horseshoe Mountain. In this way, this young man is really not simple. ”

Just thinking about it, Bao Chuxiong's rough voice like Hong Zhong echoed in his ears:

"Brothers, listen! This time, we have the help of the Heavenly Master to teach all the masters, and the master of the Shangqing Palace Zhang Tang to help draw talismans, this time the bandits will definitely be successful!"

"Without further ado, now you will go back to the camp and tighten your armament. When the rooster crows, I will take all the brothers to set out to exterminate the shameless thieves who hide in the Huoyun Mountain and dare not come out!"

The commander of the county gave an order, and the soldiers in the audience responded to Zhen Tiansuke, and then they each returned to the camp and prepared to go.

After explaining to his subordinates, Bao Chuxiong turned around and said in a harmonious voice to Lin Xu, Xingyan and others:

"Now, please come with me to the big tent. Before I set out on the expedition, I would like to talk to you about the bandits in Huoyun Mountain. ”

"Yes, sir, please. ”

Lin Xu responded on behalf of everyone, and this group of people was going to be included in the big tent.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a rush of horses' hooves in the distance. Hearing the sound of hooves so hurriedly, everyone looked up at the place where the hooves came from—in the oblique light, they saw that on the street of Jieyang, there was a horse from far and near, galloping towards the military camp, and behind the fast horse, there was a billowing smoke and dust.

"Isn't this Lord Taishou's personal servant Duan An, what's the matter with him?"

The horse's feet were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came closer, and when Bao Chuxiong saw it, the knight was an acquaintance.

After that section of An reined in his mount, turned over and fell off the horse, Bao Chuxiong hurriedly greeted him and asked:

"Duan An, why are you in such a hurry? Is it that Lord Duan has an urgent military information transmission?"

Duan An didn't answer directly, gasping and saying:

"Lord Bao, it's great to see you! My family is afraid that you have already set out for the battle. ”

"Oh, could it be that there is a change in his feelings?"

Bao Chuxiong changed color when he heard this, and suddenly raised his heart to his throat.

"Not really. ”

Duan An paused for a moment, and then asked hurriedly:

"Master Bao, is he here as Hall Master Zhang of the Shangqing Palace?"
