Chapter 18: The disciple competition begins
Someone at the inner door saw that Zhuge Mingliang died of 'scattering souls'. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Tell Master, Senior Sister Qi Yiyun and I, the evil Taoist priest we met three months ago, used this spell to kill the senior brother of the Buddhist Sect, it should be called 'Scattering Souls and Destroying Souls', this kind of spell should belong to a unique secret tradition, although I and my sister and I strangled the evil path together. However, it is not known that his fellow disciples may come to our sect to retaliate. ”
In a pavilion at the inner door, a male disciple was reporting back, and it was the Baimei Daoist in front of him.
The Taoist frowned, the two white eyebrows were tightly clustered together, and the silver beard under his mouth trembled slightly, as if he was digesting the news and thinking about countermeasures. At the end, he said in a deep voice to the male disciple: "Fan Junxi, you have cultivated as the upper reaches of the inner disciples, and you have won the trust of the master, and even listed you as a candidate for the next leader, so I also believe what you say." ”
"In this way, you ring the alarm bell, pass the order, and the head of the sect warns all the disciples that there are thieves and 'evil people' who come to take revenge, and they must not relax their vigilance until they find the enemy, and the martial law of the sect will be strengthened by three levels. ”
Fan Junxi nodded yes, and left the attic to give the order.
Luo Jiangshang also heard the news later in the day. The outer disciple who interrogated him was very unwilling, but he had no choice but to let the person go.
"Phew, who's who?
On the way back, Li Yuanlong muttered viciously, only in exchange for Luo Jiangshang's white eyes.
He can be regarded as seeing through this guy surnamed Li, although his mind is not vicious, but he is also a villain who is different from the outside. I really shouldn't have waded into this muddy water in the first place, who knew that I would provoke such a white-eyed wolf.
Feng Qizhi strode forward, completely ignoring the two behind him.
The three of them walked one after the other.
"Senior Brother Luo, do you know the inside story......? There seems to be a problem. ”
Feng Qizhi is a smart person, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong.
When Zhuge Mingliang came to the farmland area, he didn't find anything unusual. There was neither anyone tracking nor any intruders. But why was Zhuge Mingliang not killed early or late, but when he returned to the mining area, he was killed and buried under the land?
Could it be that this person deliberately wanted to frame a certain farming disciple?
Who deserves such a large amount of money?
Is it Luo Jiangshang, is it Li Yuanlong, or is he Feng Qi to himself?
Luo Jiangshang is the third young master of the Luo family in Yuzhu City, and in terms of mortal identity, he is the highest among the three. And I heard that this third son of Luo, because of the wind in the jade tree and the full stomach, attracted the young boys and girls of Yuzhu to have blue eyes. If it is said that this time it is out of love and hatred, killing an inconsequential person to frame Luo Jiangshang, and using the hand of Baixianmen to get rid of him, it is also possible.
Li Yuanlong is a little scoundrel, who was sold to a wealthy businessman as a slave by his parents, but his hands and feet are not clean, and he often steals chickens and dogs. It's not without a chance to mess with someone you can't mess with.
In the end, Feng Qizhi himself, who does not go out of the gate and does not step out of the second door, almost every day in the miscellaneous farmland area of the division, he retreats and cultivates, striving to be able to produce gold pills in his lifetime and seek some benefits for the descendants of the lay family. In this way, it is impossible for him to make a feud with anyone, and no one will be caught in his injustice for no reason.
Who dares to bear the responsibility for killing the brothers of the same sect?
Luo Jiangshang was surprised that Feng Qizhi would ask him like this, just unintentionally asking for an opinion, or was Senior Brother Feng suspecting something? These thoughts were fleeting in his mind, and he opened his mouth to answer.
"I don't know what's wrong with it, it's just that Senior Brother Zhuge came to our farmland area, and he was just one person, if there were other people, it must have been discovered by Senior Brother Feng, so the assumption that someone had followed Senior Brother Zhuge from the beginning can be denied. ”
"I guess, maybe it's just that Senior Brother Zhuge met someone or something on the way back, and someone didn't want him to know what he saw, so he killed people?"
Sitting on the ground and talking nonsense, Luo Jiang can still speak well, forcibly exclude himself and his classmates, and throw this disaster to a non-existent 'person' to bear.
This explanation is most in Luo Jiangshang's interests, so he will not take the initiative to admit that he is the 'same door' of that evil man, but he is not here for revenge, just to solve his own troubles. However, this incident also let him know who the real enemy of the evil Daoist was? It turned out to be the most respected male disciple in the inner sect and the chief disciple of this generation, Fan Junxi.
The woman who was with Fan Junxi was the only daughter of the head of the family, called Qi Yiyun.
The cycle of heaven, the retribution of good and evil, the reincarnation of cause and effect, the beginning and the end.
Although Luo Jiangshang is now a disciple of the Hundred Immortal Sect, it was the Guizang faction that guided him to enter the cultivation of immortals, and its heirs were killed by Fan Junxi and Qi Yiyun. That's it, Luo Jiang is still in the dark, and he has already formed a cause and effect with this man and woman, and there will always be a fight in the future, either I die or you die.
The three of them said no more, and returned to the station in silence.
Then, the security in the Hundred Immortal Sect became stricter and stricter, almost three steps and one card, five steps and one pass, at every intersection, every mountain, there was a patrol team composed of inner and outer disciples, back and forth, constantly patrolling all corners of the sect, in order to find out the 'real murderer' who killed Zhuge Mingming.
At this time, the real murderer was hurrying to practice a few new Taoist techniques.
In one month, it will be 100 days before the first hearing of the sermon, and the competition of miscellaneous disciples.
Luo Jiang still needs to hide his clumsiness, and he can't show too much strength, although he won't win the first place. He can't let his fellow disciples, especially high-level uncles and uncles, see his cultivation at this time. But he also wants to win a good ranking and stand out among the miscellaneous disciples. In this way, it will be more able to be valued by the sect, and if there are any benefits in the future, it can also be easily shared.
It's two ends of the spectrum, and balancing it is what he's going to do now.
'Scattering souls' has been exposed, and in order not to cause trouble, it is naturally not possible to use it in the competition of miscellaneous disciples. Moreover, a technique like the Nine Yuan Nested Dao Technique was already a very difficult and complex technique, and it was not something that a small Qi Refining Stage miscellaneous disciple could learn. Luo Jiang still needs to master some Taoist techniques that are both simple and practical, and can be taken by surprise in hostility.
The technique of the left way of the side door is obviously very much in line with these three characteristics.
However, Baixianmen prides itself on being a famous and decent family, and will never allow the appearance of the left side door. If Luo Jiangshang performed the technique of the Left Dao in the disciple competition, he would immediately be escorted into the punishment hall and tortured as a demon cult.
He had to choose a few three-element dao techniques and four-element dao techniques to fill the lack of offensive and defensive means.
As we all know, the Unitary Dao Technique is composed of a formation, which is regarded as a point in terms of graphic representation, and is a zero-dimensional horizon with no height, no length and no width. The dualistic dao technique is composed of two formations, and the two points form a straight line in terms of graphic expression, which is a one-dimensional horizon with only a length. The Three-Element Dao Technique is composed of three formations, and the third point can be connected from the two points to form a plane, which is a two-dimensional horizon with length and width. Only the quaternary and multi-dimensional dao techniques will form a three-dimensional figure, becoming a three-dimensional horizon with both length, width and height.
As a result, the practice of Taoism is becoming more and more difficult due to diversification.
Coupled with the balance of offense and defense that Luo Jiangshang deliberately pursued, the Dao skills he chose were also limited.
However, almost all the aspiring miscellaneous disciples attached great importance to this competition. It can be said that except for people like Leng Haoran, who are about to break through to the foundation building period, there are also people like Duanmu Yu who are pure and indifferent, and the miscellaneous disciples who participated in the competition are all aiming to become outer disciples. At least a few hundred people will participate, and the elimination rate can be said to be very high. It's not easy to get a good place.
But after all, the emphasis is on participation, and being able to be favored by the top management is the icing on the cake for Luo Jiangshang. If he can't attract the favor of any powerful uncle, it will not be a big loss to Luo Jiangshang, it is nothing more than spending more time on the road of exploration.
As the day of the competition approached, many miscellaneous disciples began to get nervous, whether it was in the cafeteria or in the Cloud Chasing Building, there would be quarrels every day. And because of the delay in catching the so-called 'enemy', there are no longer so many patrol teams in the sect. It's just the only way to get in and out of the mountain gate, and the defense is tighter.
Everything is still moving according to the original trajectory.
Time flies, a month passes in a blink of an eye, and it is just a nap for the monks.
Ten large rings have been built in front of the Cloud Chasing Tower, and the ring is full of miscellaneous disciples who came to participate in the competition. When the sun was in the middle of the sky, the elders of the inner gate came to pay their respects. The outer door steward who presided over the competition opened his throat, and his voice carried mana so that it could be transmitted to the ears of all candidates.
"Miscellaneous disciples competition, from now on, everyone will get their own number plate, according to the order of the number plate, single number against double number, the winner enters the next round, the last bye, automatically enter the next round, and so on, until the last ten people are selected, for wheel battle. ”
After the elder brother finished speaking, he saw an elder stretch out his hand, and hundreds of small wooden plaques flew out of his cuff, each with a number written on it in gold paint. Luo Jiangshang stretched out his hand and grabbed the number plate flying in the air and looked at it.
Number 366.
A very late number, but unfortunately there was no lucky bye.
"The disciple who got the number 587 has a bye, and the other disciples start to compete!"
After the outer senior brother finished speaking, the elders each sat down on the seats on the edge of the ring, and disciples from one to twenty walked up to the ring and began to fight each other.
These disciples are indeed catching and fighting, not throwing spells back and forth as Luo Jiangshang imagined.
I saw that the two opposing miscellaneous disciples were approaching quickly, and they pulled out all kinds of blunt weapons or sharp weapons, just relying on their moves back and forth, but they fought in a good way. It's just that Luo Jiangshang watched their confrontation like a dance and felt quite bored.
It wasn't until among the hundreds of disciples that people who learned Taoism gradually appeared.
