Ma Zhong had a long, long nightmare.

In his dream, he became a hare, running wild on the endless snowy field. Because above it, chasing a fierce and cold-blooded snow sculpture.

He ran and ran and ran and ran...... Keep running.

But that snow sculpture has been chasing him, and he can't get rid of it.

Suddenly, Ma Zhong's feet slipped and fell to the ground, and the snow sculpture let out a fierce cry and swooped down, the ruthless eagle eyes and sharp steel claws kept flashing in front of him, and finally-

Yes!!!!

Ma Zhong shouted, slapped the ground, and just straightened up half of his body, when suddenly it was dark in front of him, and he fell down again.

"Senior Brother Ma, what's wrong with you?" came a commotion nearby.

Ma Zhong barely opened his eyes and found that he was in a bedroom in the Martial Academy, surrounded by a little fat man, a young scholar, and a few rookie disciples, looking at him nervously.

There was surprise, surprise, and a hint of awe in the eyes of these people.

Ma Zhong couldn't care about the pain in the back of his head and asked, "What about the black boy?"

"Black boy, his name is Xu Bufan, waiting outside the door. Dare to hurt Senior Brother Ma, let's teach him a good lesson. The little fat man rolled his eyes, and after glancing at the young scholars, he said angrily.

"Yes, I will never let him have a better time in the future. The young scholar also had a gloomy expression. It was as if the people who were knocked out by Xu Bufan were themselves.

They are people who understand, don't look at everyone who is a new disciple now, but after the three-month physical training, some people can obtain the qualification of Yin Soul into the body, and some people have been outer disciples all their lives. Who is good and who is bad, Ma Zhong has the final say. So they were full of anger and regained face for Ma Zhong, all to show their loyalty.

However, the situation of the Five Yin Sect was different from that of other Xiuzhen sects, and their sycophants were slapped on the horse's hooves.

"Nonsense. ”

When Ma Zhong heard this, he pushed away the little fat man's support, glanced at a few people coldly, and warned: "Your thoughts, senior brother understands. But you are newcomers, and I am afraid that we don't know the rules of the Five Yin Sect. There is only one rule of the Five Yin Sect, which is not right for people. No matter what time Xu Bufan and I have, it is my business with him, and you are not allowed to interfere. If I find out that someone is stumbling on Xu Bufan in private, I will bear the consequences. ”

A cold glint flashed in Ma Zhong's eyes, and the little fat man and the others trembled when they saw it, and hurriedly nodded yes.

"Go out and let him in. Ma Zhong rubbed the back of his head and waved his hand to command. As long as he recovers from the state of Bloodthirsty, he is still a very sane person.

The little fat man and the young scholar said goodbye and left, and after a while, Xu Bufan pushed the door in with a big package on his back.

Surviving in the valley all year round has given Xu Bufan a strong intuition about potential dangers. After seeing Ma Zhong for the first time, Xu Bufan's nervous mood calmed down. In Ma Zhong's eyes, there was no hostility and malice towards him, but some love and a hint of fear.

It's weird.

Ma Zhong motioned for Xu Bufan to sit down, and after a slightly embarrassing opening remark, the conversation between the two was no longer restrained.

Although Xu Bufan is simple-hearted, he has also developed a cautious and cautious character since he was a child. When Ma Zhong asked about his life experience, he only said that he grew up in the valley since he was a child, without a father or mother, so he didn't talk much about it.

And when Ma Zhong heard that Xu Bufan was only fifteen years old and could fight tigers and leopards, he was very excited, and immediately said: "In the small exam in a month, I will leave you a place, and you must win glory for me and give us glory in the Li Tiandian at that time." ”

"Is the small test also a test?" Xu Bufan asked curiously.

Ma Zhong shook his head and said excitedly: "No, the small test is an internal competition that the outer disciples of the Five Yin Sect will hold every month, in addition to giving certain rewards, the disciples who rank high also have the opportunity to directly promote the inner disciples." In addition to the small exam, we also have the high school entrance examination and the big exam. The high school entrance examination will also be held once a quarter, and inner disciples like me will also participate, and the big examination will be presided over by the ancestor master, and the master will also participate. ”

"With so many competitions, won't it affect your cultivation?" Xu Bufan said.

Ma Zhong smiled awkwardly and said, "This is the only way for us to obtain cultivation resources, of course, we must pay attention to it." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Ma Zhong talked about some of the rules of the Five Yin Sect and the problems that he would encounter in his cultivation in the future, and promised to lead Xu Bufan to open the Yin Soul into the body in three days, and let Xu Bufan leave.

On the training ground, the little fat man frowned, scratched his head and looked at Xu Bufan, who was leaving with the Tiger King, and whispered: "This black boy can stun Senior Brother Ma, it seems that there are some doorways." But what Senior Brother Ma said about the rules of the Five Yin Sect is not right for people, why don't I understand it?"

The young scholar glanced at him with disdain, pouted, and said, "I don't understand this, it's just unreasonable to treat people and things." ”

The little fat man and a few new disciples next to him laughed when they heard this. Looking back, isn't that the truth?

In the next three days, Xu Bufan did not train his physique with other new disciples, but took the Tiger King to wander around the mountains, and whenever the sun set, he would return to the martial arts academy with a few beasts to give everyone a tooth sacrifice. Because of this, he has won the love of many brothers and sisters.

Three days later, Ma Zhong arranged the amount of training for the day early and took Xu Bufan to the Li Tiandian. Ma Zhong had not yet been promoted to the foundation building realm, and he had not mastered the cloud recruitment technique, but fortunately, the Li Tian Temple was not far from the Martial Academy, and he arrived at the Li Tian Hall after half an hour.

Ma Zhong greeted a junior disciple on duty in the main hall warmly, and instructed Xu Bufan to wait in the main hall and go to the apse alone to meet Mo Xuan.

Xu Bufan stood in the main hall, curiously looking at the fierce statue in the center of the main hall, this statue's face was like a demon, with six arms, six different weapons, three eyes, staring at him fiercely.

"Senior brother, is this our ancestor?" Xu Bufan pointed to the statue and whispered to the disciple on duty who was standing silently not far away.

This young man has a darker complexion, a delicate appearance, and a pair of bright eyes, giving people a sense of lean and reliable. He is Liu Qingniu, the eighth disciple under Mo Xuan, and he is also the only person who can handle this line of Mo Xuan.

However, Xu Bufan has just started and has not seen it yet.

Liu Qingniu glanced at Xu Bufan, smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't know where it is sacred, but there is only one ancestor of our Five Yin Sect, and he is still alive, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will see him, and then you will naturally know what he looks like." ”

Liu Qingniu was also secretly looking at Xu Bufan.

When he saw Xu Bufan for the first time, his first impression was that this junior brother was really black, and the second impression was that his junior brother was quite simple.

But the more he observed, the more he couldn't understand Xu Bufan. Because every time he stared at Xu Bufan for a little longer, his heart would jump inexplicably, giving birth to a chilling illusion, as if a pair of cold eyes were also staring at him.

In the body of this calm-looking junior disciple, it was like a ferocious and ruthless beast lurking.

This junior brother is not simple.

Xu Bufan didn't know the distress in Liu Qingniu's heart, and after carefully looking at Li Tiandian, he asked curiously: "Since he is not the ancestor master, why is he placed in the main hall." ”

Liu Qingniu was sweating profusely when he heard this, of course he knew this reason, but it was difficult to explain.

Fortunately, Master Mo Jiao, accompanied by Ma Zhong, walked out of the apse.

As soon as Mo Yan walked out, he looked at Xu Bufan curiously.

The reason why he initially recruited Xu Bufan as a disciple was because he took a fancy to the big tiger around Xu Bufan. I didn't expect Xu Bufan to have such a talent, and he could defeat Ma Zhong, who had been practicing for five years, as soon as he got started.

What a surprise.

Mo Jian first thought that Xu Bufan, as an outer disciple, could subdue Ma Zhong with one move, and he would definitely become the first outer disciple, and he would finally not have to be at the bottom of the small test in the future.

His master, who has not seen anyone all day, is stingy and unreliable, but he only loves the disciples who have passed the top exams in the large, medium and small exams, and the amount of cultivation resources that the five yin and six sons can receive from the master every year also has a lot to do with the results of the disciples.

Later, Mo Xuan saw that Xu Bufan had not yet opened the Yin Soul Cultivation Spell, and he was so powerful. That is to open the yin soul into the body, after a period of time to become an inner disciple, will definitely shine in the big and high school entrance examinations, Li Tiandian may also get rid of the fate of being at the bottom of the big exam every year.

With Master's evil temperament, who attaches great importance to grades and does not work hard, after seeing the progress of Li Tiandian's lineage, he will inevitably reward him with more cultivation resources.

Perhaps, he will be able to break through the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop this year.

Thinking of this, Xu Bufan was no longer a new disciple in Mo Xuan's eyes, but a shining humanoid spirit stone.

"Master, your saliva is pouring out. Senior Brother Xu is still waiting on the side. Liu Qingniu has been following Mo Yan all the year round, and is familiar with Mo Yan's thoughts, and at a glance he saw that the master was in conjecture again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said in Mo Yan's ear.

Liu Qingniu's status in the Li Tiandian lineage is similar to Mo Ting's identity in the Five Yin Sect, and they are all characters who make decisions based on ideas.

Mo Yan heard this, hurriedly coughed dryly, concealed his embarrassment, and then whispered to Liu Qingniu: "Qingniu, this outer disciple, how do you feel?"

Liu Qingniu thought about it carefully and replied: "It's a manufacturable material." ”

Ma Zhong was on the side, and when he heard Liu Qingniu's evaluation of Xu Bufan, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he understood that there was a play.

Sure enough, Mo Jiao straightened up, stared at Xu Bufan, and said solemnly: "Xu Bufan, you are young, but you are extremely talented, and you can defeat the inner disciple as an outer disciple, which shows that the teacher has not mistaken you, and you are a good seedling that is rare to see in a hundred years." But he is ruthless and aggressive, and he is far from becoming an inner disciple. The teacher has decided to open the Yin Soul into the body for you, so that you can get in touch with the real practice. If you can be down-to-earth, diligent and studious, the day of Yin Soul refining is the time for the teacher to accept you as an inner disciple, are you willing?"

Xu Bufan had expected it, but Mo Jian said it himself, which still made him very happy, and hurriedly bowed and said, "The disciple is willing, thank you, master." ”

In the Qingling Mountain Range, most of the cultivation sects, the disciples recruited must have spiritual roots, the rarer the spiritual roots, the greater the achievements in the future, people without spiritual roots can only induce qi and store qi, but they cannot break through the bottleneck and promote to the foundation building realm. However, in the first line of the Exorcism Sect, there is no requirement for spiritual roots to recruit disciples, as long as the disciples are strong enough to withstand the suffering of the Yin Soul entering the body. As long as he can refine the possessed Yin matter little by little, he will obtain a Yin Spirit Root that has existed for several years. During the time that the Yin Spirit Root existed, he could use all his strength to charge qi and impact the foundation building realm. Once the foundation is successfully built, just like a cultivator with spiritual roots, he can absorb the aura of heaven and earth and steadily improve his realm.

Xu Bufan wanted to practice spells, slash enemies, and avenge his parents. For the opening of the Yin Soul into the body, of course, a hundred agreed.

"Very well, you can come with me. Mo Xuan took Ma Zhong and Liu Qingniu and turned around and walked towards the apse.

Xu Bufan followed closely, walked through several corridors, turned a big corner, and came to a gloomy seven-story tower. Walking into the tower, Mo Yan played a few tricks on a diamond-shaped crystal hanging in the air, and the diamond-shaped crystal suddenly shone brightly, and then, the floor in the tower staggered, revealing a swarthy entrance to the underground.

The four of them walked down the spiral staircase into a secret room painted with charms.

On the floor and walls of the secret room, a complex array was drawn with bright red blood, and in the center was a stone statue, the stone statue was one person high, and the knife work was very fine, but the face part was very rough, and it was not even possible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, happy or sad. The stone statue is surrounded by faint candles.

After Xu Bufan saw the stone statue, his chest suddenly became hot, as if something was trying to rush out.

Xu Bufan's face immediately changed, and he pressed his chest hard.

On his chest, there is a lifelike golden Dapeng tattoo, which suddenly appeared after he rescued the middle-aged monk from the mysterious cave. No matter how much you rinse, you can't get rid of it.

He didn't care about it at first, but during the test of the Exorcism Sect, this golden peng suddenly turned into a form and swallowed the ghost of the test disciple in one gulp, causing it to vomit blood. It also ruined the possibility of him joining the Exorcism Sect.

At this time, Xu Bufan pressed his right hand to his chest, and kept praying in his heart, hoping that the Jinpeng would not come out to make trouble at a critical time.

And Jin Peng seemed to sense Xu Bufan's thoughts, the heat in his chest gradually decreased, Xu Bufan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly followed Mo Yan's instructions, walked to the middle of the formation, took a deep breath, and stared at the faceless stone statue.

Mo Xuan waited for Xu Bufan to walk to the position, first played a few spells, sealed them in several hubs of the magic circle, and then put the index finger and middle finger of his left hand together, pressed his right arm, and slowly pushed down. A faint yin qi slowly emerged from the palm of his right hand with his movements. The yin qi became more and more, condensing into a mist-like ball.

He quickly shot a few tricks at the mist-shaped ball, only to see the ball spin rapidly and shrink in size. When the ball stopped spinning, it was the size of a fist, condensed to the size of a pigeon's egg, and was extremely solid.

Mo Jiao controlled the ball to fly into the center of the formation and floated behind Xu Bufan, and at the same time took out eight Lingqi of different colors and quickly threw them in the eight directions of the circle, silently reciting the spell and urging the circle.

Immediately, a thin layer of black mist emerged from the ground and spread through the chamber.

When it floated in front of Xu Bufan, Xu Bufan noticed that the expression of the faceless stone statue suddenly became vivid against the background of the mist, and it seemed to be laughing.
