Chapter 21: The Nine-Colored Scroll
The encounter with Wu Mengxiong was unexpected by Wang Chong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Chong originally planned to solve Wu Mengxiong's problem alone, and by the way, he asked him about the soul-chasing grass in the Ghost Rain Mountain Daoyuan Ghost Realm.
Who knows, it was inserted sideways by the blue camel, and finally turned into a small farce.
After the people of the Zongmen Investigation Department took Wu Mengxiong away, Wang Chong also left the Yuding Building and went to the Jin Rank Office under the Dazai Division of the Zongmen in exchange for the identity talisman of the trial disciple.
Afterwards, he immediately went to the Xuanyu Office set up by His Royal Highness Hongxun of the Zongmen to receive the first trial task.
The miscellaneous servants in the Nine Fortune Sect, once they have cultivated to the fourth level of the Cave Spirit Stage, they can be promoted to trial disciples.
If a trial disciple can complete three sect trial tasks and rank in the top ten in the monthly promotion of the outer sect "Xiaobi", he will be immediately promoted to an outer disciple.
――Of the 50,000 trial disciples of the Nine Fortune Sect, only ten of them can be promoted to outer disciples every month.
Only by becoming a disciple of the outer sect can you be truly recognized by the sect, so as to gain freedom of action, otherwise you will not be allowed to step out of the sect for half a step for life......
At the same time, outer disciples are eligible to enjoy the benefits of the sect, and they can receive a fixed amount of pills, spirit stones, etc. every month. Moreover, according to the size of each sect's contribution, outer disciples can also enjoy a floating reward in addition to the monthly rule.
Wang Chong came to the mission square at the Xuanyi place, only to see a golden nine-story tower standing in the center of the huge square, and many sect disciples gathered under the tower, not only trial disciples wearing standard clothes, but also outer disciples in different costumes.
"This is the Mission Tower!"
Wang Chong came to the bottom of the tower, approached a young trial disciple, and asked, "This senior brother, may I ask me, how can I receive the trial task?"
"Hey, you've just been promoted to a trial disciple, aren't you? so young! Tsk, it's amazing......" The young trial disciple looked Wang Chong up and down, his face showed surprise, and then he began to introduce with enthusiasm on his face: "This task tower is divided into nine floors, one to three floors, specially prepared for trial disciples, and each layer is arranged with three thousand trial tasks! These tasks, the higher they go, the greater the difficulty factor. The tasks of the third layer are generally difficult to complete without the peak cultivation of the sixth layer of the Cave Spirit Stage! A few tasks can even be completed only by the seventh layer cultivation of the Cave Spirit Stage!"
"The fourth to sixth floors of the mission tower are the training tasks of the outer disciples......"
"As for the tasks of the seventh to ninth layers, they will only be issued for inner disciples at certain times......"
"See around the mission tower, are there any of the twelve white jade flower watches?" the young trial disciple raised his hand and pointed, and continued: "On each Chinese watch, there is a relief of an ancient divine beast, you only need to touch the beast eye on the relief with the identity talisman, and the mission scroll will fly out of the mission tower!"
Wang Chong thanked the young trial disciples, came to one of the white jade flowers, and sure enough, he saw a relief of a monster with a snake body and a face, he took out the identity talisman and tapped it lightly on the eyes of this "monster".
On the first floor of the mission tower, a burst of brilliance suddenly released, and with a "swoop" sound, a small and exquisite nine-colored scroll flew out of it, quickly coming to the top of his head, hanging in the air.
"This is the quest scroll?" Wang Chong's heart moved, and his right hand stretched out to the nine-colored scroll.
He had just taken the scroll in his hand when a surprised voice suddenly came from next to him: "Ahh
"Nine-colored scrolls, what are you kidding......"
"Really! It's true! In the mission tower, there are even nine-colored mission scrolls...... I've never heard of ......"
"I haven't heard of ...... either"
"It's really strange! Everyone knows that the mission tower is from the first floor to the ninth floor, in order of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, white, nine different colors of mission scrolls!"
There was a sound of amazement around Wang Chong, and all kinds of disciples opened their mouths to discuss and gathered around.
"I heard that in this mission tower, every five hundred years, a total of forty-nine black and white mission scrolls will appear randomly. However, almost all of the people who received these black-and-white scrolls failed the trial, and their bodies and souls were destroyed...... "An outer disciple who was about twenty-three or four years old and was born with a baby face suddenly opened his mouth and teased it to everyone.
"All dead?" said the crowd's eyes widened.
Babyface smiled lightly and continued, "There are also one or two who survived and completed the trial...... These people later ...... "In the end, they suddenly sold out."
"What happened to these people?" someone immediately asked.
Everyone present turned their eyes to the baby face and waited quietly for the following.
The baby's face was smug, and he enjoyed the feeling of being noticed by everyone very much, he coughed lightly, and then said in a manly voice: "Later, these people have all become true disciples!"
"True Disciple?"
Everyone present gasped, and their faces showed shock.
True disciples, they are all Jindan powerhouses who are high above and have great magical powers.
"Then what's going on with this nine-colored scroll?" an outer disciple was the first to recover from the shock, pointing to the nine-colored scroll in Wang Chong's hand and asking.
Others waited for answers.
Wang Chong also stared intently at the baby face, hoping to get some words about the nine-color quest scroll from his mouth.
Babyface shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this nine-colored scroll either!"
Wang Chong was a little disappointed in his heart.
However, the disciples of all colors present were all interested, and they got together in twos and threes, and began to discuss the nine-colored task scroll in Wang Chong's hand.
Wang Chong's heart moved, put the nine-colored task scroll into the storage bag, and left the mission square quickly.
An outer disciple looked at Wang Chong's back, thoughtful, his eyes flashing......
At the same time, on the execution table of the Sect's Investigation Division.
Wu Mengxiong was like a rotten fish with shaved scales, his clothes on his back were torn, blood was oozing, and he was lying on his stomach, moaning in pain.
"The investigation department raised by the son of a bitch, regardless of the indiscriminate, beat the grandfather with twenty sticks...... And that blue camel...... Oops...... Hiss...... It hurts me to death......" In Wu Mengxiong's heart, he hated the Department of Detective Affairs and the blue camel to the extreme. But he also knew that he was helpless about these two aspects.
In the end, he recorded all the accounts on Wang Chong's head: "Boy, I, Wu Mengxiong, swear that I will kill you......
The sun is shining.
In the northeastern part of the Cloud Wilderness, in the midst of lush mountains, Wang Chong walked briskly among the winding and rugged mountains.
An hour later, he tapped the storage bag on his waist lightly, and there was an extra nine-colored scroll in his hand.
Gently open the scroll, and a map is drawn on it, next to which are several lines of small print.
After carefully examining the map, Wang Chong muttered, "The Ember Cave is near here!"
Not long after, in front of his eyes, a nearly circular sinkhole with a diameter of 100 zhang appeared. Looking down, it is dark and dark, bottomless, like the hideous maw of a giant beast in the wilderness that chooses people and devours them.
"This is it!"
Wang Chong shook his right hand, and a "Rising Void Talisman" flew out of the storage bag.
When he grasped it in his hand and pinched his spiritual power, his whole body was suddenly wrapped in a layer of pale golden halo, and the whole person was like an immortal descending to earth, slowly falling, floating to the bottom of the sinkhole.
In less than a cup of tea, Wang Chong's feet fell to the ground, and he reached the ground, surrounded by black and dark like the end of the night, reaching out and not seeing his five fingers, the silence was suffocating, extremely terrifying and depressing.
Wang Chong flipped his left hand, and an extra obsidian the size of a goose egg appeared in his hand, and the light illuminated the surroundings. I saw myself standing in the center of the bottom of the sinkhole, surrounded by thirty or fifty zhang places, all of which were abrupt and undulating stone walls, and the bottom of the stone wall was covered with large and small holes, the largest width and length were three zhang, and the smallest diameter was one zhang, which was creepy.
If it weren't for the completion of the "three trials and one competition", Wang Chong would not want to go deep into this dark underground world alone.
However, the reality makes it impossible to choose. On the nine-colored task scroll in his hand, it was clearly written - enter the Ember Cave and hunt a hundred ghost beasts.
According to the sect's information, the ghost armor beast, the first-order six-grade bloodline fierce beast, the cat's head carp body, the leopard claw and scorpion tail, the scale armor is invulnerable, the minions can break the gold, the speed is as fast as lightning, it can see in the dark, and the active aggression is very strong......
"A first-order sixth-grade bloodline fierce beast, where is this task prepared for the fourth layer of the cave spirit stage?" Wang Chong looked at the tunnels on the surrounding stone walls, and once again felt uneasy in his heart: "Even if you are a first-order ninth-grade cultivator, you are in danger of falling!"
"But no matter what, hunting a hundred ghost armor beasts, this task must be completed!" Wang Chong's eyes were resolute: "Only through the 'three tests and one competition' can I become an outer disciple, and only by becoming an outer disciple can I have the right to enter and leave the sect freely......"
Thinking of his younger brother Wang Ling, Wang Chong's eyes flashed: "Ah Mang, if you wait for a while, my brother will soon become an outer disciple of the Nine Fortune Sect, and then I will pick you up immediately!"
Putting away the Ascending Void Talisman in his hand, Wang Chong stepped forward step by step and walked into a tunnel at the lower end of the stone wall.
The tunnel was only one zhang wide and narrow, and the ground was uneven, so Wang Chong walked very slowly, trying to avoid making footsteps, and always on the lookout for movement ahead.
After walking for about ten miles, a huge underground space suddenly opened up in front of me, empty and dark, and the heat wave hit the face, like a netherworld hell.
As soon as Wang Chong stopped, he heard "woo~~", a terrifying roar, and a monster covered in green scale armor jumped down from the air and appeared in front of him.
I saw that this monster was three feet tall, one foot long, and its body shape resembled a large-mouthed catfish, but it had a graceful arc like a feline, and it had four strong and powerful animal legs, two pairs of claws like iron hooks, and a thirteen-segmented long tail like a scorpion tail.
At this moment, the monster's two fist-sized eyes, emitting a vicious and terrifying red light, stared at Wang Chong deadly, a pair of long chins, constantly stretching and shaking in mid-air, whipping the air, and making a palpitating "crackling" sound.
"Ghost Armor Beast!" Wang Chong's face was solemn.
