Chapter 3 The Beginning of the Dawn
The wooden bridge in front of him was indeed a little tattered, and after Xu Hao and Jia Ke walked up together, the wooden bridge immediately made a squeaky sound, as if it would collapse at any time.
When he reached the middle of the bridge, Jia Ke stopped, turned around and grabbed Xu Hao's clothes, ripped off the hypocritical appearance of his previous gentle face, and said sharply: "Don't think I don't know what tricks you played, this bridge has been shrouded in my spiritual power, the little fat man can't see what happened on the bridge clearly, you'd better recruit me truthfully, otherwise don't blame me for telling the little fat man that you inadvertently stumbled and fell into the river, and you don't know whether you live or die." β
Xu Hao wanted to resist directly, but when he thought of the rich cultivation resources once he entered the sect, he sank down, and showed an innocent expression on his face, "Great Immortal spare your life, Great Immortal spare your life, the little one really doesn't know where to offend you, and please tell Daxian Ming." β
"Hmph, I clearly didn't leave my hand in the morning, ordinary people received my Qingling Palm and were either dead or disabled, but you are now jumping around, how can this be explained?" Jia Ke seemed to see through Xu Hao's lie and continued to ask.
"Little love to read since childhood, then recognize a few kinds of fairy herbs, yesterday went to the mountain luckily picked two Lingxu grass, with blood circulation and stasis, curing all kinds of curative effects, small curiosity, yesterday swallowed a plant, presumably injured today, Lingxu grass played a role, this makes the injury better, if the great immortal likes, this one also please Daxian smile. With that, Xu Hao took out a fragrant four-leaf clover from his arms and handed it to Jia Ke.
Xu Hao really didn't lie about these words, and with the innocent look on his face, Jia Ke was also stunned on the spot at this time, with a puzzled look on his face, "This Spirit Void Grass does have a strange curative effect, is it really just the spiritual power fluctuation of this Spirit Void Grass that I sensed in the morning?" β
"Hmph, even if you kid escaped, I advise you not to play any tricks on me, otherwise you won't even know how to die. Jia Ke took the spiritual void grass handed over from Xu Hao's hand, put it in his arms, withdrew the spiritual power casually, recovered a gentle expression, and led Xu Hao to the opposite side of the wooden bridge.
After Jia Ke brought Dagui to Xu Hao's side, he meditated cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, but he swept towards Xu Hao's side from time to time.
After resting for a while, suddenly, a long rainbow visible to the naked eye galloped from a distance, Jia Ke's body was shocked, and he quickly stood up, with a flattering look on his face.
"Looks like there's a big guy coming. Seeing this, Xu Hao said secretly in his heart.
"Jia Ke, the outer disciple of the Sumeru Sect, the eighth disciple of Elder Sun, meet Elder Chen!" Jia Ke knelt on one knee, clasped his hands upwards into fists, and said loudly.
The one Jia Ke called Elder Chen was a short and fat monk, with a huge black mole at the corner of his mouth, and at this time he stepped on a huge fiery red flying sword under his feet, and his clothes were fluttering, so imposing.
Dagui was already stunned on the spot at this time, and only reacted after a while, and quickly knelt on the ground, without saying a word, Xu Hao also bowed to the short and fat monk, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't kill Jia Ke just now, otherwise I would have fallen to the ground at this moment." β
The sword technique is the symbol of the monks in the foundation building period, and only after reaching the foundation building period can the spiritual power be enough to drive the flying sword to fly with him, and the gap between the qi refining period and the foundation building is simply the difference between cloud and mud, not the same.
Humpty Dumpty glanced at the two people behind Jia Ke, and frowned slightly when he looked at Xu Hao, "These are the two people you received?"
"Back to the elder's words, the one on the left who is slightly fatter is Wang Dagui, and the one on the right is called Xu Hao, who is going to take it to the sect for the spiritual root test. Jia Ke cautiously replied, the elder in front of him was notoriously moody in the sect, for fear of annoying him.
"The boy surnamed Xu, when you see this immortal, why don't you kneel down. Humpty Dumpty pointed at Xu Hao and asked sternly.
"Although the little one is just a shopkeeper and a little two, but it also has its own criteria and personality, the boy has gold under his knees, and the little one only kneels to his parents in his life, not to kneel to heaven and earth, and the little one can not obey his fate, if he wants to kill him, he will listen to him. β
Xu Hao's face immediately turned straight, since he was a child, after his parents left, he lived alone, experienced many hardships that his peers did not experience, and has developed a resolute and unyielding character.
When Jia Ke heard Xu Hao's words, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, "It seems that I don't need to make any more moves, this kid is finished." β
"Hahaha. Suddenly, a long laugh came, and I saw that the short and fat monk immediately stretched his brows, put away the flying sword under his feet, and walked to Xu Hao, "Okay, good, good, you kid is brave and talented, if you test the spiritual root in the sect test, come to the seventh mountain of the outer gate to find me Chen Meng, I will accept you as an apprentice!"
Jia Ke was shocked, thinking that the rumors about Elder Chen in the sect were indeed true, this person hated those hypocrites who were only promised, but valued disciples with upright personalities, which led to the fact that although he was one of the nine great foundation building elders of the outer gate, he did not have any disciples under his banner, which is why he came to recruit him in person on this trip. However, seeing that he came at this moment and there was no child with him to follow, he knew that he had nothing to gain this time.
Xu Hao was stunned on the spot, he was already ready to launch the jade pendant and then escape, but the words of the elder in front of him made him feel like he was in an illusion. After a while, he came back to his senses, clenched his fists and replied, "Elder Xie's grace not to kill!"
"Okay, rectify here, and when your senior brothers come back, let's go back to the sect together to restore their lives. β
"Yes, just now Senior Brother Xu said that he was already on his way, and Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Lu have already selected candidates and are arranging their trivial matters before leaving. Jia Ke said this, but in his heart he had a completely different thought, "If Xu Hao, this kid, really becomes Chen Meng's apprentice, then I won't be able to attack him again, if this kid mixes a little better, my life will be sad, no, I have to find a way to ease the relationship between the two of us." β
Jia Ke's careful thinking is not mentioned for the time being, Xu Hao's mind is already a little chaotic at the moment, he originally planned to stay in the Sumeru faction for a while, and leave this place of right and wrong immediately after his wings are a little fuller, and then come back to solve the grievances of the year when he is strong, but at this moment, it seems that he has to stay in this sect for a long time, the so-called long night dreams are many, Xu Hao doesn't know if there will be any other changes at the moment, but the only thing that is certain is that the short and fat man in front of him really wants to take himself as an apprentice, if he wants to harm himself, there is no need to make such a big detourγ
After about a cup of tea, the three senior brothers in Jia Ke's mouth had all arrived, each with a young child, two of whom were still girls, all of whom were looking around with big eyes like copper bells at the moment, which was pitiful.
"Alright, everyone is here, come up. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Meng got up from meditation, waved his sleeves, and the flying sword that had suddenly disappeared suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, making the teenagers who had just arrived scream involuntarily in shock.
With the blessing of the spiritual power of the disciples they received, several people barely stood on the flying sword. As a strange spell from Chen Meng's mouth was issued, the flying sword rushed into the sky with a "whoosh", and the speed was staggering.
I thought that Jia Ke would deliberately reduce the spiritual power blessed on him, but he found that he was standing more firmly than Dagui. Xu Hao thought about it for a while, and then thought that Jia Ke might be because of Elder Chen, hoping to ease the relationship with him. At this moment, he looked towards Jaco, and found that he did show a smile at himself.
Xu Hao thought about it in his mind, and when he saw Elder Chen standing at the hilt of the sword, he said to Jia Ke: "Immortals don't need to be like this, the little one can stand firm." As he spoke, he swept his eyes towards Elder Chen from time to time.
At this moment, hearing what Xu Hao said to Jia Ke, and noticing Xu Hao's expression, Elder Chen immediately made a preliminary inference about the matter, and his slightly blessed face showed a smile that is usually difficult to appear, "This kid does have some minds. β
Seeing the smile on Elder Chen's face, Xu Hao's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he felt that his life in the Sumeru Sect in the future would not be as difficult as he had thought at the beginning.
When Jia Ke heard this, his face suddenly darkened. Although it did not weaken the spiritual power blessed on Xu Hao's body, he was also numb in his heart, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, Xu Hao looked at the clouds galloping behind him, and thought in his heart that he would definitely gallop like this in the future, unrestrained, and suddenly full of expectations and illusions about his future.
After a while, the flying sword began to have a downward trend, and at this moment, Elder Chen roared, "The disciple of the Qi Refining Period holds Yuan Shouyi, protect the young man you brought, and prepare to withdraw the sword!"
Immediately, the people on the flying sword all put away their thoughts and concentrated on following Elder Chen's instructions.
I saw that the world was turned upside down in front of me, Xu Hao and others came to the ground, and several teenagers with slightly weaker physiques, including Wang Dagui, fell directly to the ground, and it took a while to get up with difficulty.
After all, Xu Hao can be regarded as a monk, his face does not change at this moment, and even Jia Ke's state is not as stable as Xu Hao.
seemed to notice Xu Hao's abnormality, everyone's eyes were on Xu Hao, especially Jia Ke, at this time he was shocked, secretly thinking that he seemed to have really kicked the iron plate this time. Elder Chen also cast an interested glance at Xu Hao at this moment, but then he looked calm and relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Hao felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and thought that his approach was still not rigorous enough, and warned himself that he must pay attention next time.
Wisdom is not innate, it is often a collection of experience learned from countless failures, and Xu Hao is the kind of person who is good at learning from experience.
At this moment, everyone present wanted to come forward to ask, but when they saw Elder Chen's indifferent expression after taking a look, they swallowed their words one after another.
"Sumeru has arrived, you all take them back to rest for the night, and tomorrow morning to the altar square for the spiritual root test. Elder Chen left a word, and with a wave of his sleeves, he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes with a flying sword.
At this moment, what catches your eye is a huge cyan stone gate that is more than three people high, and there are three vigorous and powerful characters written on the top "Sumeru School", it is said that this is thousands of years ago when the Sumeru School was just founded, the only one in the sect was written by the ancestor of the god transformation period, mortals will often be taken away after seeing these three words, and it will take less to recover.
This was the case with the teenagers and girls around Xu Hao, all of them looking confused, and they recovered after a while.
"Sumeru faction, I, Xu Hao, are here, I don't know where my father's enemy is happy at the moment, but sooner or later, I will let you experience the pain when I lost my parents!"
Xu Hao couldn't help but be distracted when he looked at the stone stele, clenched his fists at the moment, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
