Chapter 15: The Path of Life and Death (1)
Time flies, and when Zhang Fan wakes up from his cultivation, the next day has come.
He exhaled a breath of turbidity, a faint smile appeared on his face, and after a night of cultivation, his true qi grew a little more.
According to Lao Dao and Murong Qianxun, today is the New Disciple Dao Conference, and the rewards are good, so Zhang Fan naturally can't miss it. It has been three months since he entered the Beiming Sect, but he only knows a few people, and he has never even been to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which is a pity. Today, he wants to beat the crowd, win the first place in the big competition, and pocket the best prizes, so that he can get out of the depression that no one accepts him as an apprentice.
Zhang Fan stood up, ate a Bigu Pill, put the armor given to him by Lao Dao under the white robe, and then went out with the blue high-grade magic weapon that Lao Dao imitated the Bibo Sword refining.
He saw from a distance that disciples gathered from all directions to the Dharma platform, and he did not hesitate, although he did not know how to resist the sword, but he would resist the wind, only to see two cyclones under Zhang Fan's feet, his body was in the air, and he moved his mind to the southeast, regardless of the deep sea and the cool breeze of "whoosh", he did not take the usual road, directly swept across the ocean, and after a while, he arrived at the Dharma platform in the middle of the Beiming faction.
The Dharma Stage has now gathered thousands of people, including miscellaneous disciples with lowly cultivation, outer disciples with slight cultivation, and those inner disciples and elite disciples who are eager to try. There are new disciples who are ignorant and ignorant in this session, and there are also former disciples who are shrewd and sleek in the past.
Zhang Fan walked into the crowd and saw that the two miscellaneous disciples were arguing fiercely, and seemed to be talking about Dabi, so he was curious, so he stepped forward and patted one of them on the shoulder. asked, "Two junior brothers, excuse me." ”
Hearing this, the two turned around and looked at each other, and said curiously: "This teacher...... Brother. Do you have something to do?" Zhang Fan smiled: "Of course, you tell me how this conference is compared?"
The two of them were full of surprise when they heard this, and they looked at each other, as if they had seen a spirit beast from the deep mountains, and they seemed to be a little unconvinced of their eyes.
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Are the two junior brothers going crazy?" The two of them hurriedly said: "Senior brother, forgive me! We are just miscellaneous servants in the door, and we should not be called so." This conference should be the same as in the past, and the first place for miscellaneous disciples can be outer disciples. The top two outer disciples can be inner disciples, the top three inner disciples can be elite disciples, and the top four elite disciples can be accepted by the elders as personal disciples. Other than that. The first place in the Daoist Contest for disciples of all levels has different rewards, and the miscellaneous disciples can get 10 lower-grade spirit stones, the outer disciples can get 100 lower-grade spirit stones and a low-grade magic weapon, and the inner disciples can get 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones and a medium-grade magic weapon. A bottle of lower-grade spirit pills, and elite disciples can get 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones. A high-grade magic weapon, a bottle of medium-grade Juling Pill, and the sect contributed very much. ”
Zhang Fan was surprised: "There is only such a small reward, it's too little, right?" The two sighed and said: "Senior brother, you don't know the situation, ten spirit stones are enough for a first-level Qi cultivation monk to break through the second layer of Qi training, a low-grade magic weapon can make a monk easily challenge opponents of the same level, and a low-grade Gathering Spirit Pill can allow a monk to break through the sixth-level Qi training level." Ten sect contributions can allow disciples to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for ten days and ten nights, and you still say that the rewards are not rich?"
Zhang Fan nodded mu. The two said again: "Senior brother." Have you not been out of the customs for a long time, how can you not even know these common sense?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "Senior brother, I have recently suddenly felt the mystery of the Great Dao, and I have gone to retreat and enlightenment, who would have thought that thirty spring and autumn seasons have passed in the blink of an eye. The two said, "Neurotic!" and ran away.
Zhang Fan shook his head, looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe standing above the stage. He said lightly, "Fellow disciples, please note that there have been changes in this year's Dao Conference. Zhang Fan also came to his senses when he heard this, and listened attentively.
The man said, "This Youren presided over this disciple discussion conference, which is intended to encourage disciples to work hard to cultivate and strengthen our Beiming faction. Today, the head of the sect has sent a message to increase the rewards of this year's Dao Conference, the first place for each level of disciples, one point for the miscellaneous disciples, two points for the outer disciples, four points for the inner disciples, and eight points for the elite disciples. ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, the disciples in the audience became noisy.
The Taoist continued: "Miscellaneous disciples who practice qi below the third level do not need to participate in the big competition, now starting from the miscellaneous disciples, all the disciples take the stage in turn, and compete in pairs, each disciple is only allowed to participate in five games in each level of competition, each win is counted as one point, a draw is counted as zero points, and a loss is minus one point. The conference of the Talks is now open. Saying that, the blue-robed Taoist left the stage and sat down in Taipei.
The man said, "The miscellaneous disciples came to the stage to participate in the competition!"
There was a commotion among the crowd, and a big man came to the stage with a mace, and then a thin man came to the stage with a thin sword. The two stood looking at each other, and the man shouted: "In Xia Hu Ba, in the late stage of the third layer of Qi training, please advise!" The thin man said: "Hehe, in Xia Gaoliang, in the late stage of the third layer of Qi training, please advise!" As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a light blue film of light suddenly rose around the stage.
This is a defensive formation set up to protect the people watching the battle outside from being shocked by the true qi of the people inside.
In the light film, the two glanced at each other, and a golden light shot out of their eyes, as if they had been familiar with each other for a long time, and they were just polite before.
Hu Ba roared: "Xiong Zhen Siye!" said the dark mace in his hand emitting a faint yellow light, and then raised the big stick and slashed at Gao Liang. Gao Liang seemed to have expected it, turned into a spirit mouse, and swept to the side of the wind, and the big stick hit the stage with a "bang", shaking the light film trembling, but there was no damage on the stage.
Gao Liang took advantage of Hu Ba's failure to turn around, and said with a sneer: "The poisonous snake steals the peach!" Saying that, the thin sword in his hand emitted a blue-black glow, and Gao Liang and the sword shot towards Hu Ba's crotch.
"Despicable!" Hu Ba shouted. He had long known Gao Liang's tricks, and when he was drinking, he jumped up all of a sudden.
Gao Liang smiled: "Stupid barbarian, look at the sword!" As he spoke, Gao Liang, who was originally on the ground, drilled out from under Hu Ba's crotch, jumped up like a rabbit, and turned into a streamer and shot towards Hu Ba.
Hu Ba shouted: "No way, thick earth armor!" Suddenly, a dark blue poisonous light collided with the yellow light. The wave of aura bounced the two of them away, and both of them fell to the ground, their faces flushed and as if they had been shocked.
After a moment, Gao Liang looked up at Hu Ba, and said with a sneer: "The poisonous snake spits out the letter!" As he spoke, the thin sword in his hand shot out a spiritual light, and shot towards Hu Ba in a blink of an eye, Hu Ba snorted coldly, and a yellow light blocked his chest, who knew that Gao Liang then slashed at Hu Ba's feet like lightning.
"Ahh It's a pity that he used most of his true qi for chest defense just now, and the defense under his feet was greatly reduced, and the faint blue poisonous light slashed Hu Ba's feet off in a blink of an eye, dripping with blood.
Hu Ba shouted bitterly: "Gao Liang, you are shameless!" Gao Liang talked nonsense with him, immediately jumped up, and kicked Hu Ba, who had lost both legs, to the ground.
Everyone sighed, admiring and despising Gao Liang.
Youren, who was sitting in the north, said: "This miscellaneous disciple competition, Gao Liangsheng wins!" Then the light film on the stage disappeared, and Hu Ba, who had a broken leg, was picked up.
Gao Liang also leapt down. Youren said: "Next group!"
Immediately, a gray-robed woman came to the stage, but there was no movement in the audience. She said to Youren, "Elder, only three of the miscellaneous disciples have reached the third level of Qi cultivation this year. ”
Youren said: "Gao Liang, you come to the stage to compete with her!" Gao Liang hurriedly said: "Elder, the disciple consumption is too heavy...... Youren said coldly: "If you don't compare, then you will lose!" Gao Liang had no choice but to come to the stage, and then the light film rose again to protect the stage.
The woman glanced at Gao Liang lightly and said, "Senior sister Shangguan Late Autumn, in the late stage of the third layer of qi training, please be merciful to my senior brother's subordinates." Gao Liangyin smiled and said: "Senior sister, don't worry, senior brother will definitely let you know the interests of senior brother!"
Shangguan Wanqiu snorted coldly, only to hear a soft sound of "bang", and a short sword flew out in an instant, flying towards Gao Liang like lightning. Gao Liang was horrified and hurriedly retreated. The short sword, which had been attached to the rope, drew an arc in the air and flew back into the woman's hand.
How could Gao Liang let go of such a good opportunity, as soon as he saw the short sword leaving, he immediately took the sword and shot it at Shangguan Wanqiu.
"Hmph, your trick is too tender!" Shangguan Wanqiu shouted angrily. As he spoke, a piece of Fapa flew out like lightning and wrapped around Gao Liang at once.
"Shameless!" Gao Liang suddenly lost his sense of direction and scolded.
"Die!" Shangguan Wanqiu shouted angrily. The short sword in her hand flew out again, shooting at Takara like lightning.
Gao Liang felt the short sword attacking, and moved backwards in an instant, and the sword qi emitted by the short sword hit the armor on his body with a "bang", sending him to the light curtain at once, and the light curtain rippled in bursts, and then fell to the ground fiercely, so that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Shangguan Wanqiu shouted: "Don't want to pretend to be dead!" As he spoke, he quickly flew to Gao Liang's side, and was about to give him a sword, but Gao Liang jumped up at once, spilled a handful of red smoke at Shangguan Wanqiu, and stabbed her in the chest with a sword.
With a soft sound of "bang", Gao Liang was shocked and flew out.
Shangguan Wanqiu's face was flushed, and he said angrily: "The dog thief is looking for death!" As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Liang, and the silver light in his hand shot out, and it shot into Gao Liang's eyebrows in an instant.
"Ah!" exclaimed the crowd watching the battle.
Youren said lightly: "In this competition, the miscellaneous disciple Shangguan Wanqiu won the first place, rewarded with ten lower grade spirit stones, contributed one point from the sect, and was promoted to an outer disciple, and can participate in tomorrow's Dao Conference." ”
Immediately, the light curtain disappeared, and Gao Wolf's body was carried down, and a disciple came up to the stage and handed Shangguan Wanqiu a storage bag. Shangguan Wanqiu took the storage bag and said lightly: "Elder Xie!" Youren said lightly: "Go down." Then Shangguan went down in late autumn. The disciples in the audience looked at Shangguan Wanqiu, and their faces showed timidity.
Youren glanced at the disciples below and said lightly: "Disciples, the outer disciple competition will be held in a quarter of an hour, so you should prepare with all your hearts. Suddenly, everyone in the audience was in an uproar, and it seemed that the result of the two disciples being killed and disabled had been forgotten by them. (To be continued......)
