Chapter 15 Testing
Ji Yan didn't ask, and when he asked, he seemed to touch the scales of the ghost, and hated the Heavenly Sword Gate.
He persuaded him with good words, and the master kept accusing, but in the end he forgave Yujizi, wanted to accompany him down the mountain to apologize, and ordered me to return to the sect first. Speaking of this, it seems that he has lost a loved one, and he is sad and indignant, "I don't want us to be attacked by the flying sword of the day that night, and the same sect all died, I only knew that the master died tragically after I left, and I didn't want my Yin Beast Sect to disappear from the cultivation realm from now on, and more than 20 lives were mercilessly wiped out by your 'jealous and hateful' ancestor!" The man was in pain, and when he mentioned Yujizi, he scolded the hypocrite.
"The ancestor may mistakenly regard you as an evil way, so ......" Ji Yan was still explaining something to the ghost, as if he was proving something to his heart, but he was suddenly scolded before he finished speaking.
"Fart! What do you know! Back then, in this Taihe Mountains, there was no real demonic way, there were some side doors and left ways that did not believe in Taoism and Sanqing, and there were no monstrous murderers. What is good and what is evil? My master refuses to kill for a hundred years, this is evil? Jade Jizi Lao'er brutalizes mortals to cover up the truth, this is right?"
In the end, the endless questioning seemed to echo in Huang Zhongdalu's ears, knocking on Ji Yan's heart, who was right and who was wrong? Why would the Jade Patriarch do such a thing? Why did the Heavenly Sword Sect not admit the truth of the matter? Just when he was in a trance and was disturbed by what he had heard, a wake-up voice sounded in his mind, "Flash!".
Ji Yan rolled suddenly, making the fierce ghost who had pounced a little surprised, "The mind is violently disturbed and vigilant, it's not a simple little ghost!"
Ji Yan touched something in the dark, and it was cold and sleek, and he had already guessed that it was the Soul Eater Bead that fell when he was caught off guard and rolled over. It's just that he wonders who exactly reminded himself. "Hungry...... I'm so hungry" How can there be such an inappropriate voice in my mind at this time, is it that I am hungry?
A bird condensed by black gas swooped down, trying to tear Ji Yan apart. Ji Yan reacted instinctively, raised the Soul Eater Bead above his head, replaced the sword with the bead, infused the vitality, and blocked the front, only to hear a miserable scream and then nothing happened. Ji Yan looked up, and the ghost thing disappeared without a trace, disappearing, not scattered. The ghost man's eyes were solemn, and he didn't dare to act rashly, he looked carefully just now, and the bird was clearly ingested by the bead.
"Eat...... I still want to eat" The dull voice sounded again, and at this time, Ji Yan suddenly made a bold guess, could it be that the Soul Eater Bead was talking? Another beast pounced on him while he was thinking, Ji Yan nudged the Soul Eater Bead this time, only to see the beast turn into black gas and enter the bead, and a purple light flashed and then fell silent.
Ji Yan thought to himself that this soul devouring bead, the bead is as its name suggests, it seems to be the nemesis of the ghost path, specializing in devouring ghost things. Now he had confidence in his heart, blocked the beads in front of him, and looked at the man. The man was unwilling, the cooked duck was about to fly, and with a wave of one hand, countless ghosts and ghosts swarmed around, wanting to eat Ji Yan. Ji Yan was calm and calm, his horse was steady, his right hand was holding the bead, and he turned around with his waist as the center, and all the ghosts in all directions were taken.
"Huh...... Destiny, the people of the ghost path have actually encountered this soul devouring bead that has been famous for thousands of years, accept me, you won!" the man said hoarsely as if he were powerless.
"Uncle Ghost, you go, I won't hurt you. Ji Yan held the Soul Devouring Bead in his hand, his eyes were clear, and he walked to the man's side, and he was extremely serious.
"You...... Don't kill me? I'm an evil demon, you are righteous disciples, do you really want to kill me?" The man seemed to not believe his ears, and confirmed it again and again.
"You died thousands of years ago, I believe in you, and besides, you are even more pitiful now, your master will be heartbroken. Ji Yan was sincere and outspoken.
The man's heart thundered, I died thousands of years ago, and the master will also reproach me for being too obsessed, when will I repay the wrongs? In fact, I am the most pitiful ...... Wild ghosts.
There were a few thunders in the sky, the frightened dark clouds retreated, and the man's body in the moonlight dissipated like a thick fog and became illusory, "Little brother, my obsession has disappeared, and I am going to enter reincarnation, don't mention it to others today, for fear of hurting your life, you are different from them, don't be swayed by the world Your heart, I went." The ghostly spirit gave people a sense of peace and tranquility at this time, and when the man dissipated, there was one last sentence echoing in Ji Yan's ears:
"People in the world only want to believe the truth they want to believe, and it takes courage to accept the truth!"
......
The next day, Ji Yan walked out of the grass house, everything was peaceful again, looking at this quaint temple, I couldn't help but think of the thrill of last night. Taking out this evil object that had helped him twice, the man's last words echoed in his ears, and he couldn't help but sigh: Is this a test for me? Perhaps after this ordeal, the mind is tempered, and the surface of the Bodhi condensed by the Buddha's power under the inner view reveals layers of textures, as if the eyes on it are traced, and the raindrops formed by the vitality of heaven and earth also drop by drop, becoming a shallow shoal.
Jiang Wenshen saw that Ji Yan was not frightened, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Ji Yan spent the last few months in this temple, and no longer went up the mountain to cut bamboo, repaired the temple with peace of mind, burned incense to commemorate these spiritual places, and continued to practice penance at night, occasionally going into the depths of the woods, those fierce and evil ghosts were "eaten" by the soul devouring beads, for the weak living souls, Ji Yan liked to play with them for a while, and after seeing their reincarnation, he would leave happily. In the eyes of outsiders, Ji Yan had given up the opportunity to enter the inner sect and planned to stay in the temple for a long time, so he made such a move. Fudge often visited Ji Yan in his spare time, and after confirming that Xiao Ji would participate in the outer sect test in a few months, he left happily, saying that he wanted to enter the inner sect together and stir up his own world.
Looking at the figure of the fat man, Ji Yan was particularly moved. He heard a few months ago that Fu Ji could enter the Inner Sect, and the old man of the Wine Sword Immortal came here to pick him up in the Inner Sect, but he was extremely stubborn, and he wanted to participate in the test of the Outer Sect, saying that he had to do things from the beginning to the end, and he wanted to win glory for the old man in the test. It turned out that he had been waiting for him, waiting to enter the inner sect together, and it turned out that they had already become brothers who advanced and retreated together.
......
Once sworn by the sea,
Only the same way of sharing weal and sorrow,
And now the old man is still there,
It's just that the pride and grandeur have been confused,
True love does not need gold and silver,
Hard and dangerous true brothers.
......
Time is like a ruthless examiner, testing all living beings, you can choose to cheat, or you can choose to do your best, but the final answer sheet is in the heart of each candidate.
This night, the outer sects were all silent in the busy and tense nature of the sect test. Zhang Heng set up another sword light and returned to Qianzhang Peak, fell down on the Nanyan Cliff, and stood aside, waiting for the master's question.
"The old man has already handed over Fuji to me, tomorrow after the test, you take him up the mountain, I won't go to Wufeng to select disciples. Yan Mingyuan lay on the bamboo mat and placed a book of poetry nearby.
"Master, that Ji Yan...... What are your plans" Zhang Heng saw that his master no longer asked about Ji Yan's situation, he was curious, and he still asked in hesitation.
"According to your monthly report, although he has extraordinary qualifications before he enters, he is not suitable for cultivation after all, and his progress is slow. After speaking, he held the poetry book in his hand and immersed himself in it, and stopped talking.
Zhang Heng saw that the master seemed to be a little troubled today, so he stopped doing much and said goodbye.
"Hmph, what do you say about the balanced development of Zhufeng, I didn't say a word in the past, but today I was prevented from accepting an extra apprentice, and I made such a decision, I really think that I and other junior disciples are easy to bully......"
On this day, the sun rose very early, and many disciples walked out of the bamboo hut one after another, and marched towards the cafeteria with the morning light. Since Ji Yan moved to the temple, Yu Fuji's meeting place has been changed to the door of the cafeteria.
"Obediently, how about you are here, how about the test, right?" Fudge saw Ji Yan coming, and hurriedly asked about the preparation of the sect test, shushhh
Ji Yan just said that he did his best and did his best, and other unconfident words, which caused Fudge's confidence in him to be greatly reduced.
"Jiang Plague God and his grandfather, you are in a hurry to kill me, what are you doing with these nonsensical frustrating words, bring a few more steamed buns after breakfast, and cut him for a day, I can't believe it!" Fudge scolded when he was angry, how could his brother really scold, so he had to find Jiang Plague God as a scapegoat, scolding and scolding in his mouth, but his concern for Ji Yan was beyond words.
Not long after, the test of the outer sect began, and everyone stood in front of a hundred-year-old purple gold immortal bamboo, and after Senior Brother Zhang gave an order, everyone began to cut the bamboo. Seeing that there were many people around, not many people paid attention, and quietly ran the two exercises, first a pale golden light covered the machete, and then a significant cyan light covered it. In the last few months, Ji Yan cultivated hard, the Buddha's power and vitality increased greatly, the surface lines of many golden Bodhi increased, and there were pale golden sand grains that gathered into filaments and floated out of the cracks, rippling in many acupuncture points for his use, and the Xuanqing droplets also merged into a shallow lake. In short, under the weak skills of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, Ji Yan desperately cut down the bamboo, and occasionally the golden light of the Tao crossed his body to moisten his body. Look at everyone's machetes again, most of them are bright and green, stronger than Ji Yan's, constantly colliding with the bamboo body, what attracts attention is Fudge's machete, the green light is rich, the green is gorgeous, the blade is no longer visible, and the bamboo body will be cut off in a moment, and the next step is to prepare.
As expected, Fudge was the first to complete the task and enter the inner sect. He watched Ji Yan on the stage, and his speed was not slow at first, but for some reason, as more people completed, his speed became slower, and he couldn't help but feel anxious for him. Where did he know that after there were few people, Ji Yan didn't dare to use the Buddha power, and withdrew the Buddha power little by little, resulting in a slower speed, but the progress was also in the middle.
More people completed the test, Ji Yan was not in a hurry, cut off the bamboo body section by section, and finally completed the task at the end of the day when the sun was about to set, and he took a long breath. "Whew...... Finally caught up. He didn't forget to wave his hand to Fudge, who had been with him, and Fudge's hanging heart finally landed. "Good boy, how can it be more frightening than I cut the bamboo myself!" ”
"Your grandfather's! What's wrong with the penultimate one! If you have the ability, you can get one, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and then you talk, the master will cut you!" Fudge threatened the thin little disciple who spoke.
