Lingyue Sect, looking at the top of Shushou Peak.

The morning sun penetrates the clouds and falls gently.

In addition to the chain bridge connecting the twelve peaks of Lingyue, there is also a pavilion built in the stunning scenery here.

The pavilion is the Moon Pavilion used during the second round of interviews at the Moon Moon Festival, and the platform is a temporary resting place for people going up the mountain, called Wangshu Terrace.

At this time, more than twenty Lingyue disciples gathered here, waiting for the elders to come and arrange their itinerary. Only new disciples can participate in this trial. Mu Qing and Lu Lingqiu stood at the back of the crowd, whispering.

"Why did you suddenly become so well-behaved today?" Lu Lingqiu looked at Mu Qing, who was as well-behaved as the girl next door, with even more doubts on his face.

"You've always been good, haven't you?" She rolled her eyes at him playfully and said nothing about what happened yesterday.

Lu Lingqiu felt strange that the child's attitude had changed a lot between yesterday and today.

The more she acted like this, the more confused Lu Lingqiu felt.

"Does the dark chocolate I made for you taste good?" He asked insinuatingly.

"Eh? Dark chocolate?" The girl looked confused, "A black sneaky cat?"

"?no.

I sent it to you last night, that box of black snacks that taste bitter and sweet but have a rich texture." Lu Lingqiu reminded simply.

"Oh! So that's 'chocolate'..." Mu Qing suddenly realized, with a flawless expression on his face. "I ate them all, and the cake rolls are also delicious."

"Really?" After all, he made it with his own hands. Hearing her positive comments, he was relieved: "That's good." Just as he was about to ask about the secret book again, he saw a black light suddenly flash across the horizon in the distance.

The disciples present heard the sound and looked into the air. Someone immediately shouted: "The elder is here!"

"Hey? Which elder is leading this trial?"

"I don't know. In previous years, we were usually not notified in advance of this kind of thing."

"oh oh."

After a while, the dark light fell in front of the Wangshu Platform, revealing an old man in black robes. The disciples' eyes immediately focused on him.

"I am Xiao He. Elder Lingyue sent you to take the seventh seat. I will lead the team for this trial. Before going down the mountain, I will explain the rules clearly to you."

The old man looked around at the crowd, without any nonsense, and spoke bluntly with a cold tone.

The stage quickly became quiet. The disciples looked at the cold face of this strange elder and felt the powerful and terrifying spiritual pressure released from him. For a moment, they were silent and did not dare to say anything.

Almost no one has seen this old man. After all, Elder Keqing usually has his own cave in Baiyu Peak, and generally does not easily travel to other peaks. And it is said that the mobility of this position is quite high, and every other

In a few years, new high-level monks may parachute to Lingyue as guests.

"Later, we are going to meet two groups of people from the other two sects at the foot of the mountain. I hope that all your behaviors will meet the standards of Lingyue disciples."

Xiao Heruo's eyes swept over every disciple present. When he arrived at Lu Lingqiu and Mu Qing's place, he paused briefly, and then said calmly: "The destination of this joint trial is Yinhui Forest.

I am responsible for the collection of elixirs and the removal of monsters in the Deep Water Pond area, while the people from the Yutian Sword Sect and the Great Buddha Temple are responsible for the other two areas. Therefore, try not to have unnecessary contact with them. Do you understand?"

"I understand! Elder Xiao." The disciples expressed their understanding.

"In addition, when you are on the road, you must use the 'Wind Control Technique' all the way. This method is recorded in the "Comprehensive Explanation of Basic Spiritual Techniques" issued by the sect. If there are still people who have not learned it yet, just find a way to keep up with the large army."

Xiao He paced back and forth on the stage, with a calm expression on his face: "After arriving at Xingluo Valley, I will hand out more than ten pairs of jade tokens marking the task content and serial number. Then you will follow the jade tokens

As noted, we are looking for people with the same serial number to form two teams, complete the task as quickly as possible within three days, and then report to me, and then return to the sect first. The final trial reward will be settled after all disciples return.

, do you understand everything?"

"Understood!" Although some disciples were confused about these new rules, under the pressure of the old man in black robes, no one dared to stand up and ask questions. Only one person took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to raise his hand.

Lifted up:

"Elder Xiao, I don't know something, and I want to ask you for advice!"

Everyone suddenly turned their attention to this person, and Lu Lingqiu also looked over in surprise. As expected, the person who asked the question was none other than Li Yuanbo.

"What don't you understand? Tell me quickly. Don't waste time." Xiao He stopped dissatisfied and said coldly.

Li Yuanbo nodded repeatedly and immediately asked the questions in his mind: "Returning to Elder Xiao, this disciple once heard a certain Senior Sister Chenxing say that in previous years' trial tasks for new disciples, everyone acted together and only had to work together to kill the designated monsters.

That's fine, but why do we act in groups of two this year? Wouldn't this increase the difficulty and danger of the trial..."

"Ha, idiot!" Xiao He cursed, narrowed his eyes like poisonous snakes, and asked: "I want to ask you, who sets the rules in this sect?"

His face was gloomy and he said seriously: "Is it the elder or the morning star?"

"Yes...it's the elder." Li Yuanbo sensed something was wrong and his voice weakened.

Although he is reckless, he is not stupid. He has always been the kind of person who will ask questions if he has any questions. Although he looks a little wretched on the surface, he is not timid. Especially when faced with what he feels is

When something "unreasonable" happens, no matter who is standing in front of him, he will be very "brave" to stand up and ask questions directly.

"Isn't that enough? What's the point of your question?"

Elder Xiao showed a sarcastic look on his face: "Some trivial matters in the sect will be taken care of by Morning Star, but when it comes to major matters related to training, which one does not have the final say of the Elder Council?

Just because the difficulty of the task has increased a little, you have become so panicked. I think that with your greed for life and fear of death, you will never be able to explore the avenue in this life!"

"this……"

When the disciples heard Xiao He's harsh words, they all looked at each other at a loss. Gradually, the whispers became louder. Even Lu Lingqiu frowned deeply.

"Brother Lingqiu, what's going on with this old guy?" Mu Qing whispered next to him: "Are all the elders of Lingyue like this?"

Everyone knows that as an elder in the sect, no matter how bad the disciple is, he will not be humiliated in public by doing such words and deeds.

The words "Never think about breaking through the great road in this life" can easily bring huge psychological shadow to the fragile disciples, and even easily trigger inner demons when they break through. To a certain extent, this is no longer a lesson, it is quite

to curse.

Lu Lingqiu whispered: "I don't know if all the elders in Lingyue are like this, but this person is definitely not a good person."

"The trial is dangerous, and life and death are determined by destiny. I am only responsible for escorting you to Yinhui Forest. As for the accidents that occur during the trial, I will not care at all. Anyone who has any dissatisfaction, please speak up!"

Xiao He put his hands on his back and released all the huge spiritual pressure of the Yuanying stage old monster!

The terrifying consciousness scanned everyone, and the venue instantly became quiet.

Among the crowd, Li Yuanbo's face turned dark. He didn't refute or speak anymore, and went back to the team.

Xiao He snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and walked down the mountain first.

"Set off!"

"yes!"

…

At the foot of Wangshu Mountain, in front of the tall Lingyue Mountain Gate, two teams of people stood on either side of the redwood pillars, talking and waiting for something.

Among them, more than ten people on the left are wearing gray-white Taoist uniforms with a small sword mark embroidered on their clothes. They can easily be identified as disciples of the Yutian Sword Sect.

There are only six people in the team on the right, each wearing yellow and red cassocks and robes, and having no hair on their heads. They are all monks. These are the apostles who have come all the way from the Great Buddha Temple.

"Amitabha, I haven't seen you for many years. Donor Yun, how are you doing?" The leading monk was actually a little monk no more than six feet tall, and his voice was childish. The five young monks behind him were each half a head taller than him.

Come.

"Who are you?"

The stern man on the left stood with his sword in his arms, frowning and looking at the young monk talking to him.

"Haha, the young monk's name is 'Fantasy'.

The donor may not remember, but a few years ago, you and I had a chance encounter at the Boluo Temple."

The young monk stood with one hand on his chest and said with an mature look: "At that time, you were suffering from the pain of being devoured by the magic weapon. You came all the way to ask the young monk's master to help you get rid of the demonic obstacles. Now many years have passed and my master has already sat down.

change……"

"What?! You are Master Xu Nian's apprentice! He, he has passed away?!" The man in white is none other than the senior brother of Yutian Sword Sect - Yun Jianlai.

After hearing this, his eyes were full of shock and regret. He swept away his previous indifference and sighed: "Alas! Master Xu Nian has the world in mind. Such news is really...sighing."

But the young monk smiled slightly and shook his head: "My master's life has expired. Fortunately, before he left, he discovered the third layer of content in "Tai Shang Wangxu Dao". After passing away, the Dharma body will leave relics. When

Go to the Paradise of Paradise. Donor Yun, you don’t have to regret it.”

When Yun Jianlai heard this, he felt disappointed.

All the secrets of the magic sword in his hand are known only to the old monk who once saved his life. If Master Xu Nian hadn't saved him with all his efforts, I am afraid that the demonic energy would have entered his body and his body would have been gone by now.

Now hearing the news of his death, it really made him extremely sad.

Seeing that Yun Jianlai was silent, Xu Wu said the Buddha's name softly and changed the subject: "Donor Yun, the candidates selected for this joint trial of the three sects must be the best new disciples in recent years.

"The young monk has heard for a long time that your sect specializes in sword training. I wonder if there is any one of the disciples who came here to practice this time that you are more optimistic about."

The two of them were far away from the disciples of their respective sects, so their conversation would not be heard by the disciples.

Yun Jianlai recovered from his sadness, turned around and glanced at the Yutian Sword Sect's team, and nodded: "There is indeed a very good junior fellow."

"Oh?" Xuwu seemed very interested.

Yun Jianlai said: "This junior fellow apprentice started three years ago. He has mediocre talent and average qualifications. But compared to other disciples, he has an extra temperament."

"What do you say?" The young monk also followed his gaze, and soon saw the handsome male disciple with a sad face and a lot of thoughts in the crowd.
