The trial hall is very large, the gilded pillars support the glorious hall, and the pearls are decorated everywhere, and the gold and jade are among them, exquisite and beautiful, and the brilliance is dazzling.

And the most conspicuous is a silver statue at the entrance of the main hall, this statue is carved by someone I don't know, Su Zhi felt as if there was a gaze staring at him as soon as he entered, and a pressure in this gaze made his steps heavy.

"Is this the founder of the Falling Star Sect?"

Su Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at the lifelike statue, which depicted a middle-aged man in his forties, with a stern face and bright eyes, although he was not angry but arrogant.

The moment Su Zhi saw these eyes, he inexplicably felt a sense of respect in his heart, he stepped forward to a bronze incense burner and took three long incense sticks, and then bowed respectfully.

After doing all this, Su Zhi felt incredible, what he did just now was a subconscious act, not his intention at all, and that feeling was as if something was manipulating his body.

"Yes, being so respectful and calm in front of the statue of the patriarch is worthy of being the leader of this big competition. ”

Just when Su Zhi was confused, a voice of praise came, Su Zhi turned his head to look, it turned out that there was an elder sitting under the statue of the patriarch, his hair was half white, but his face was full and bright. After Su performed the salute, he said, "Thank you, Lord Deacon, for the praise, the boy deserves it." ”

"Since I praise you, it's naturally because you can afford it, so restrained, it doesn't match your reputation as Zhuo Feng's gentleman!" the old man chuckled, with a hint of humor.

Su Deacon was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, he didn't want to discuss this topic, so he stepped forward and hugged his fists and asked respectfully, "Lord Deacon, the kid is here to receive the sect trial task, I don't know what tasks are available?"

Hearing Su Zhi's question, the old man also became serious, his fingertips flicked at the void, and ten yellow paper scrolls appeared in the void, "There are some unfinished tasks recorded on it, you can choose by yourself." ”

Su Zhi said politely, then turned his head and observed carefully.

"A ghost in the West Cave, the number is unknown, there are many evils, the means are cruel, most of them are cultivators ranging from three to four layers of qi refining, and they often wander around the periphery of various sects in the Chu State to rob and kill some disciples and plunder property, but because they are too cunning, they are still at large. - Offer a reward of 50 spirit stones. ”

After reading the introduction of the first volume of tasks, although Su Zhi was resentful, he was powerless, and he turned his head to look at the next volume.

"Shui Yiba, once slaughtered a small Xiuxian family in one day, and Tong Suo has no life. His person is extremely vicious, cultivating the seventh-level cultivation of qi, defecting disciples of the Falling Star Sect, and offering a reward for a medium-grade spirit stone to be captured, regardless of life or death. ”

"This person is so ruthless, I will definitely take his head when I run into him in the future!" Su shook his fist, this method reminded him of the slaughter of Huntan Village back then.

"In the Great Barbarian Mountains, the demon trail looms, and the explorer rewards a hundred spirit stones. ”

"Moon Lake water monster, according to a nearby immortal report, this lake has been a water monster recently, and it will definitely devour fishermen or players in the water, a month ago, there was a seventh-layer disciple of Qi refining to catch this monster, and finally disappeared, remove this monster, and offer a reward for a medium-grade spirit stone. ”

"Moon Lake?" Looking at the introduction on the nine scrolls of paper, Su Zhi's thoughts spun rapidly.

A waterfall of the Meteorite Sect is from top to bottom, under the impact of the tributaries of the Meteorite Waterfall, many small lakes have also formed on the Meteorite Mountain, but the main stream of the waterfall flows out of the mountain, and the impact has formed a steep canyon that is hundreds of miles long, and this canyon is just connected with the Moon Lake.

"Of the thirty-six counties of Great Chu, Moon Lake is connected to four counties, including the Meteorite Mountain County where the Meteorite Sect is located, and the 'Hushan County' where Tai'an Town is located. Su Zhi said secretly, then turned to the old man and hugged his fist, "Lord Deacon, I choose the task on the ninth scroll of paper. ”

"Oh, are you sure this is not a task that you can accomplish now?"

"Do you know that although the disciple who accepted this task last time was missing on the paper scroll, according to the investigation of the sect, this disciple should be dead, and if this task cannot be completed within a month, it will be considered a failure, once you fail, you will receive the task in the future, and the reward will be halved after completion. ”

The old man was a little surprised to hear Su Zhi's choice, so he patiently explained.

"Thank you for the reminder, but the disciple has confidence!" Su Zhi said categorically.

"Well, in that case, then I won't say anything more. You go!" After the old man finished speaking, he waved his robe, and then Su Zhi found that he had an extra bronze token in his hand, which was the Leaving Sect Order.

After receiving the task, Su Zhi hugged the deacon and hurried down the mountain, and in a short time, Su Zhi had already arrived at the foot of the Meteorite Mountain, that is, the entrance of the Meteorite Sect.

This place is unguarded, and it seems that anyone can enter and exit, but if you look closely, you will find that there is an invisible force separating this place from the outside world.

"There is no defense here, but it is the strongest place in the entire Falling Star Sect. Without this order, if you want to enter the sect, unless you forcefully break the mountain protection array of this Meteorite Sect, and under the Yuan Infant, no one can break this array!"

Su Zhi muttered, and threw the Sect Departure Order in his hand into the air, and the order immediately emitted a burst of dazzling yellow light, and when these yellow lights fell to the gate, a passage immediately appeared, and Su Zhi jumped into the air, and took the Sect Departure Order out of the Meteorite Sect.

"Shall you go down the mountain? ”

After Su Zhi left the sect, a gray figure immediately appeared where he was just now, and the gray figure looked at Su Zhi's departing figure, and disappeared after asking and answering himself, as if he had never appeared.

――

Between the two mountains, there is evil water, and above the bad water, a cyan figure goes with the water, no matter how turbulent the water is, this cyan figure is always the same.

If you look closely, there is also a raft under this cyan figure, but this raft is pressed under the water by the figure, so it looks as if the figure is floating on the water out of thin air.

"I didn't expect that the sky was full of ice and snow on Meteorite Mountain, and the bottom of the mountain was actually as gentle as spring, which was really a unique scenery. Su Zhi looked at the surging river, and his mood was never better.

"At this speed, you can reach Moon Lake before dark, and then you can enter the territory of Hushan County by waterway through this lake, and then return to Tai'an Town. As for the Moon Lake Monster, if you have the ability, you will get rid of it. On the raft, a stream of mana came out from Su Zhi's feet, and the raft was like a carp in the water, rushing away.

A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, Su Zhi thought that he could reach Moon Lake before nightfall, but there is always a gap between reality and imagination, as the terrain is flat, the water speed is getting slower and slower, and when Su Zhi leaves the canyon, night has already fallen, he had to stop, and spend the night at a hunter's house.

The next day, after Su Zhi left a piece of silver, he borrowed a horse from Orion's family and went straight to Moon Lake.

"Have you heard, yesterday night, the Zhou family's merchant ship passed through the lake and was attacked by a water monster, the big ship sank, and dozens of people on board were killed, and none of them were spared!"

As soon as Su Zhi entered the city, he heard a sigh from the restaurant on the right.

"Yes, not only the Zhou family, but also the Xie family's merchant ship was attacked some time ago, there were more than 100 people on board, only a dozen people survived, it is said that it was because there was an immortal master on the ship at that time?

"Is the matter so serious? Moon Lake is the fastest way to reach Hushan County, if you want to bypass this lake, you don't know how many miles you have to travel, it seems that this monster must be eliminated. Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Zhi immediately got off the horse and walked towards the restaurant.

Seeing the arrival of the guests, the restaurant Xiaoer immediately welcomed Su Zhi in with a smile, and at the same time managed the horses for him.

"The two eldest brothers, the younger brother is not curious about this Moon Lake monster, I don't know if the younger brother can sit with the two eldest brothers. Su Zhi entered the restaurant and immediately walked to the side of the two big men and hugged his fists.

Regarding Su Zhi's sudden arrival, the big man on Su Zhi's right glanced at him in surprise, and after seeing the long sword on his body, the big man immediately got up and hugged his fists; "Looking at the little brother's dress, he must also be a martial arts practitioner, but he is here to be a guest among the 'Seven Families' in Moon Lake?"

"Why did the eldest brother say this?" Su Zhi didn't know what he meant.

"Since the appearance of the water monster, the Seven Families have continued to recruit capable people to deal with the water monster, but most of these people have never returned, if the little brother is also here for this matter, brother, I advise you, or dispel this idea. ”

Dahan persuaded, and at the same time beckoned Su Zhi to sit down.

"Thank you eldest brother for reminding me, the younger brother is not here to be a guest of the seven families, but I just heard the eldest brother mention the water monster in the lake outside, the younger brother is very interested, I wonder if the eldest brother can tell me in detail about this water monster and the immortal master?" Su Zhi thanked him and asked again.

The two were originally chatting, but seeing that Su Zhi was so polite and interested in their topic, they didn't hide it, and during the eating and drinking, they talked about the water monster one by one.

It took about half an hour for Su Zhi to finally have a general understanding of the Moon Lake Water Monster.

This water monster appeared three months ago, and since it appeared, there have been no less than ten attacks on people who have entered the lake, among which the most heavy losses are the Zhou Xie family, as for the immortal master who appeared last month, he also affirmed from the other party's description that it was the missing disciple of the Meteorite Sect.

"Do the two eldest brothers know how this water monster came about?" asked Su Zhi again.

"We don't know about this, if the little brother wants to know, he should be able to learn some inside information when he goes to the Seven Families. Dahan responded.

"Zhou family, I remember that the little fat man once seemed to mention that he was from the Zhou family, one of the seven great immortal cultivation families in Meteorite Mountain, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Thinking of this, Su Zhi's face became strange.
