Chapter 15: The Trial of Shushan

The lame old man didn't look at the big coat, but seemed to say to himself, "Do you want to go? ”

Da Yuan didn't know what he meant, and snorted.

The old man said again: "If you do something for me, I will let you go." ”

Da Yuan hesitated in his heart, and the old man said coldly: "It seems that not only do you not know how to be a man, but you also don't know how to advance or retreat, boy." You colluded with the demons of the bottomless pit and fell into the hands of a famous and decent family like us who are jealous and hateful, and you should be crushed and ashes scattered. If you are not good at learning and fall into the hands of others, you must not be manipulated. Now it's not difficult for my old man to do something for you, just let you do something for the old man, and let you go, if you don't agree immediately, what are you waiting for?"

Da Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, what do you want me to do?"

The old man asked rhetorically, "What realm have you practiced, boy, let's talk about it first." ”

Da Yuan knows that there is the so-called seven realms, and the lowest level is the Great Dao Jindan, the Yuan Shen is out of the body, and the clouds and fog are several realms, and his own Dao is low, and he has not even cultivated the realm of the Great Dao Jindan. Da Yuan said: "The younger generation is lowly and has not yet attained the Dan. ”

The old man smiled, and his whole ugly face became extremely ugly, and the old man said: "Lian Dan is not knotted, and you still say that you go to Shushan to learn swordsmanship, you really don't understand anything." ”

Oji: "How do you know we want to learn about Swordsmanship?"

The old man snorted coldly: "Do you think I want to hear it? You talk so loudly that you can't sleep well in noisy old sleep." ”

Da Yu was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this lame old man must have heard the conversation between the three of them, and he knew that the red hairpin was taken away by the three branches, but he did not stop him at that time. Da Yuan said tentatively: "My friend disappeared that night, what did you hear?"

The old man looked playful and said, "My old man doesn't care who was killed or who escaped, I just tell you that you can't learn swordsmanship if you don't reach the realm of Yudan." ”

At this time, Da Yuan knew that the old man was turning a blind eye, and that night he let the three branches of soil escape, and Da Yuan didn't say anything, only hugged his fists and said: "Thank you seniors for your advice, how do you want me to run errands and do something, please say it." ”

The old man said: "Okay, in two days, those righteous gentlemen will organize their disciples to go to the Blood Refining Valley for trial, you can also go, and go and get a few demon pills for me, a waste person, and come back." ”

Saying that, the old man took out a piece of green jade waist card and handed it to Da Yuan, who took it, only to see that the waist card was crystal clear, and there were lofty mountains and mountains looming inside, and there was a long sword flashing on the back of the waist card, and the word Xiaomeng was engraved. Da Yuan heard that the middle-aged man had called this old man Uncle Xiaomeng, and the words on this waist card were undoubtedly the old man's road name.

Da Yuan took the token and wandered around Shushan for two days, only to know that the waist card of this Xiaomeng Taoist is still very effective, no matter where he goes, as long as he shows the waist card Shushan disciple will be released immediately, but this strange old man seems to have a bad reputation, and he is far away when he sees Da Yuan holding the waist card, and no one is willing to say a few more words with Da Yuan.

Shushan deserves to be a famous big faction, the mountain is full of magnificent and strange shows, countless pavilions and pavilions, let the big coat open his eyes. Until the third said that the big jacket with the waist card more into the Shushan Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the big jacket since the cultivation of everything only their own groping, into the library pavilion only skimmed a few introductory books and felt that there was a great harvest, the big jacket couldn't help but regret that he should have come two earlier.

After a few days, he finally did not forget what Xiaomeng Lao Dao had entrusted him, and reported to the avenue on the mountainside of Shushan Mountain on the designated day. Seeing that hundreds of young disciples had gathered in the huge jade dojo, everyone was talking about what was in front of them, and it was also a grand event among the young people in Shushan to come to the Blood Refining Valley for trials. Most of the disciples of Shushan knew each other, all of them were wearing green shirts with Qingfeng swords, and they were only dressed in cloth clothes, which looked shabby and unusual, and no one talked to them.

Da Yuan listened attentively, only listening to the disciples of Shushan talk about this trial, it seems that it is extremely difficult to go through the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and finally reach the end to obtain the demon pill. Da Yuan just thought, the old man Xiaomeng let go of the red hairpin, and promised to let himself go, he is a very moral person, since he promised to take the demon pill for him, no matter how difficult it is, just do his best.

Before leaving, it was to check the identity, and when it was time to check the identity of the big coat, someone frowned and said: "This person is not our Shushan disciple, how can he also get involved in the trial." ”

Another old man shook his head and said, "Uncle Xiaomeng is messing around again." Looking at his expression and tone, he was quite dissatisfied with Xiaomeng Daoren.

Until someone asked an old Taoist, the old Taoist looked at it, looked helpless, and said: "Since it is Senior Brother Xiaomeng's waist card, it doesn't matter, let him go." ”

After checking their identities one by one, the disciples set off in procession. The team left the dojo, bypassed half of the peak, entered a cave, and then came out of the cave to the Blood Refining Valley. The sky in the Blood Refining Valley was gone, it was blood-red, and when I looked ahead, I saw that the front was endless, uneven, and the magma on the ground was rushing.

Everyone stood at the mouth of the valley and waited, many people had just heard that Da Yuan was not a disciple of Shushan, and many people pointed at Da Yuan, all of them looked pretentious. Da Yuan's face was pale and he ignored it, but he was disdainful in his heart, these Shushan disciples have the support of the sect, of course, they have to be windy, they want to rain and rain, and even the swords are all Qingfeng swords, wearing light gauze and satin. And over the years, he has been bloody and bloody, subduing demons and eliminating demons, fighting all the way to create a short sword. Thinking of this, Da Yuan showed a proud look.

After waiting for a while, the person in charge of Shushan gave the order to set off, and all the disciples ran forward after hearing this. Someone shouted: "Our disciples of Shushan have to fight bravely, don't let others compare." ”

Another said: "That's nature. ”

The corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a smile, and the man was naturally speaking at himself.

Everyone who participated in the trial ran out of the valley mouth, and in front of them was the hot magma land, and when they looked around, they saw that they were alone in one place, and the other Shushan disciples were on the other side, obviously treating themselves as outsiders, and they had more intention of competing.

Out of the valley mouth, seeing that there is magma in front of him, it seems that it is to test everyone's cultivation. The big jacket didn't stop, took up the mana, stepped on the magma and hung in the air, even so, the big jacket still felt that the heat under his feet was unbearable, and hurriedly carried the mana and ran all the way. After running hundreds of steps, you will be out of the lava field, and in front of you is a cliff, with several ropes hanging on both sides of the cliff. Da Yuan jumped on a rope and didn't take a few steps, only to feel the mountain wind blowing, the rope was turbulent, Da Yuan's body shook, and he was almost blown down the mountain stream. He hurriedly used his mana to firmly stick to the rope, walked slowly, and walked until he reached the other side, although it was only a few dozen steps, and when he reached the other side, his face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat.

Da Yuan rested a little, and when he looked back, he saw that most of those Shushan disciples were still walking on the magma, and some people actually had no mana to insert their long swords into the magma and stop to rest, only one or two of the fastest disciples had reached the cliff, one was still thinking, and the other was climbing on the rope with his hands.

He smiled and walked further. After a section of the mountain road, suddenly the wind blew fiercely, and it was quite difficult to move forward in the wind, and there was a whimpering sound in the wind halfway through, which disturbed the mind. Da Yuan has been wearing the Kunlun stone on his chest, it is a calming thing, and he has resisted the attack of the devouring evil ghost, the power of this wind to disturb the mind is obviously quite weak, and it has no effect on Da Yuan, since he got this treasure, he has used it many times, and every time it has been very helpful.

After this mountain road, Da Yuan looked back, and no one else followed him, although these Shushan disciples were on par with Da Yuandao, but Da Yuan has been mixed in the world and had many tribulations, and the use and experience of mana are not comparable to these Shushan disciples. In front of the mountain road, you will reach the end of the Blood Refining Valley, and there are several strange buildings.

When I got closer, I saw that these buildings were all trial sites, and the trial disciples needed to choose one to pass the trial. A quick look reveals that several proving grounds have different levels of difficulty. At this time, Da Qi already had the intention of competing with the disciples of Shushan, and after a while, he walked towards the most difficult trial ground.

After entering the trial ground, Da Yuan immediately looked around, only to see that the trial ground was a spacious passage, extremely dark, and there was a stone platform every dozens of steps in the field, I don't know what it was for. Da Yuan didn't take a few steps before he suddenly smelled a faint fishy smell, and heard what seemed to be a sound. Da Yuan immediately became alert and lightened his steps.

After walking forward for dozens of steps, the sound was gone, and only his own footsteps could be heard, so that Da Yuan's heart became more and more vigilant, condensed his mind, and operated the mana of his whole body. After walking dozens of steps in this way, he saw that the entire trial ground was halfway over, and still nothing happened. Da Yuan was puzzled, if he passed the trial in this way, I'm afraid it would be too child's play.

It was already extremely dark in the passage here, and he couldn't see far with his eyes, so he slowed down his pace, stopped walking, and suddenly felt as if there was a sound of breathing in front of him, and some heat came from the air. As soon as Da Yuan took a step, he stopped abruptly and retreated as fast as he could, when two dark red lights suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the light flashed, and then Da Yuan only felt that something swooped towards him.

He turned and ran, flicking his hand and throwing it behind him. As soon as the Demon Exterminator struck something, he could only hear a roar behind him. Da Yu dared to hesitate, and ran a few steps behind a stone platform. He hid behind a half-human-high stone platform, and when he looked closely, he saw a tall monster staring at him with eyes the size of two children's fists.

The monster beast's whole body was snow-white, and its body was like a lion and tiger, which seemed to be the rumored snow lion. Da Yuan's heart couldn't help beating faster, he knew that the snow lion was an ancient divine beast, tall and powerful but extremely fast, extremely difficult to deal with, not to mention from the situation just now, this snow lion was still very cunning, just now he obviously closed his eyes and held his breath and was waiting for Da Yuan to bump into him.

Da Yuan thought about it for a while, I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with such a snow lion with his own Taoism, but since he promised Xiaomeng's old way, he has to kill this demon beast and get back the demon pill.

The big coat took out the short sword and pondered how to kill the snow lion, the snow lion lazily licked his paws, and shook his head and turned back, as if he was no longer interested in the big coat. As soon as Da Yuan relaxed, the snow lion suddenly jumped high and backwards, turned around in mid-air and pounced on Da Yuan, who only felt a fishy wind rushing in, and was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down to avoid the attack, and at the same time walked around the stone platform.

The snow lion pounced into the air, chasing around the stone platform, fortunately the stone platform is not too small, the snow lion waved its claws several times and failed to catch the big coat, seeing the huge claws pass by again and again, the big coat was shocked into a cold sweat. After turning around the stone platform a few times, the snow lion jumped up again, jumped over the stone platform and pounced, and the big coat bent down against the stone platform and hurriedly dodged.

After several pounces failed to catch the big coat, the snow lion simply stopped chasing and squatted on the ground to comb his hair slowly. Da Yuan was already extremely difficult, and he didn't dare to rest at ease, for fear that the snow lion would attack again. He knew that if this continued, the situation might not be good, and he had no other magic weapon on his body except this short sword, so he pondered that he had to retrieve the demon slayer and then find a way.

Da Yuan looked around distractedly, and the demon killer was thrown by himself just now, hitting the snow lion, and now it has fallen to the ground, and he is still more than twenty steps away from himself, but now this snow lion has looked at himself, as long as he leaves the stone platform, he is afraid that he will be more than lucky.

After a moment's silence, Da Yuan took out a piece of jerky from his bag and threw it behind the snow lion. The snow lion was startled, roared, and waited for it to smell the aroma of the jerky, looked at it cautiously, turned to find the jerky, and played back and forth with its paws. Da Yu took the opportunity to hurriedly run out of the stone platform, he had already seen the location of the clear magic stone, quickly picked it up, and then ran to the next stone platform.

After hiding in the next stone platform, and then seeing that the snow lion had eaten the jerky, the jerky was too small for the snow lion, the snow lion turned around to look at the big coat, and the two jumped to the opposite side of the coat, staring at the big coat, and jumped high again, and pounced on the big coat. This time, the snow lion seemed to be annoyed, chasing after him, grabbing and biting, and the big coat couldn't dodge, and was taken by the claws, and immediately felt a hot pain in his back. Da Yu immediately came to his senses, and he threw out the jerky just now for fear that it would arouse the appetite of this demon beast, and this demon beast is really going to eat itself now.

Da Yuan had done his best at this time, and ran around the stone platform again, the snow lion suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of ice and snow, Da Yuan only felt a sharp pain in his legs, his body shook, and he immediately fell to the ground.
