Chapter 15 Trials of the factions
Wang Shuo went to the shopping mall in the sect and bought two gourds, an ordinary gourd and a spirit beast gourd. Just as he was about to go back, he saw Xuanyi shopping in other stores, so he stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
Xuanyi turned around and saw Wang Shuo, and said with a smile: "Why did you return to the sect before the time came? Could it be that you miss me, senior sister? I know that you kid must be interested in me, and you are pretending to be reserved!"
Wang Shuo shook his head helplessly: "I just caused some trouble and returned to the clan early. Why should I do this, senior sister?"
Xuanyi folded his arms and said "hum", and then returned to Qunfeng Valley with Wang Shuo, telling Xuanyi what happened at Yuling Peak in the past few days.
Xuanyi was a little surprised at first when Wang Shuo made a huge fortune, but what happened next made her look weird.
"Sister, why do you look like this?" Wang Shuo looked at Xuanyi in confusion and asked.
Xuanyi tugged Wang Shuo's ear and said angrily, "Didn't you look at that senior sister Huanyuan Sect astray?"
Wang Shuo put on the look of a gentleman: "How can this be so? Junior brother is hiding behind the stone wall, far away, and cannot be seen. Plus it is night, if you can see, then junior brother's eyes are divine eyes."
These words were naturally intended to be Xuanyi's. The stone wall where he hid last night was not far or close to the two of them.
Xuanyi glared at Wang Shuo and said, "I don't believe it! Don't be ashamed if you go to see others bloom!"
Wang Shuo immediately shut up and didn't know what to explain. If Wang Shuo had known this, he would not have looked at the two of them.
The scene changed and Xuanyi asked again: "Sister, the test items are ready. I asked her to protect you and don't let others take away your life."
Wang Shuo smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, senior sister. Junior brother thinks that he still has some strength and is more than enough to protect himself, but it will definitely be better if he can have senior sister Yanyue's help."
Xuanyi nodded and pulled Wang Shuo to sit beside the bed. After a while, he said with a blushing face: "When you come back, you will have the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it will take you a year to break through the Foundation Establishment, and you will be eighteen by then..."
Wang Shuo looked at Xuanyi's blushing face and knew what he meant. He quickly interrupted: "Why do you have to get married? I saw that Master is nearly a hundred years old and has not yet gotten married. What is he going to do when he gets married?"
Xuanyi's blushing face turned angry, and she slapped Wang Shuo on the forehead: "Idiot!"
He stood up and left. Wang Shuo saw that Xuanyi was really angry this time, so he chased after Xuanyi and stopped him: "Senior sister, junior brother, I am a fool, but junior brother still feels that senior sister should not marry me. I am just a helpless person,
No family, no strength. Just a good skin and a spiritual root, how can I be favored by Senior Sister He De?"
After saying these words, Wang Shuo felt ashamed in his heart. He had failed Xuanyi in all this. He had known Xuanyi for eight years, and the feelings accumulated over the years could not be false. Wang Shuo had avoided Xuanyi's feelings time and time again.
This time he really said the words of rejection, which would definitely break Xuanyi's heart.
Wang Shuo and Xuanyi looked at each other. The former was pounding in his heart, just waiting for the latter to speak.
Xuanyi's eyes gradually turned red and she shouted to Wang Shuo: "I don't care, at worst I won't be the second young lady of the Changkong family."
After saying this, he pushed Wang Shuo away and ran out of the peak valley.
Wang Shuo sighed, went back to the room and sat down: "Xuanyi loves me, so I should love me? How can I marry Xuanyi if I don't have love in my heart?"
On the day of the trial, Wang Shuo arrived at the sect square, where many people were already waiting.
There were more than twenty people in total, so it seemed that only a few people went to Yuling Peak that day.
Seeing Wang Shuo arrive, everyone looked at Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo smiled at everyone and stood behind the team.
Then his eyes swept across the group of brothers and sisters, half male and female, and there was a male and female team.
Yan Yue was not far from him.
The scent of rouge on the bodies of the senior sisters and junior fellow students mixed together, which was actually better than the smell of sweat on the bodies of the senior fellow apprentices.
The disciples were chatting and laughing, and most of them seemed to know each other. There were very few people like Wang Shuo who did not talk to anyone.
At this moment, a person grabbed Yan Yue from the other side of the team. Wang Shuo looked and saw that it was Xuanyi.
Xuanyi had a conversation with Yan Yue, but only told her to be careful. Then she looked at Wang Shuo again, and hesitated for a long time before coming to Wang Shuo's side.
There was still resentment on his face: "Be careful, but don't let anyone plot against you."
Yan Yue also looked at Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo suddenly felt uncomfortable. He nodded to Xuanyi and said, "Don't take what happened that day seriously. Junior brother is just not ready yet!"
Xuanyi smoothed out the wrinkles of Wang Shuo's Taoist uniform: "I understand, don't mention that matter!"
Yan looked at the two and smiled without saying anything.
At this time, Yan Ye came to the crowd with his sword in his hand, holding a jade slip in his hand. After drawing a few gestures in the air with his right hand, he pointed at the jade slip.
The jade slip glowed brightly, and a list appeared. He called the names on the list to confirm that everyone was present.
"Now that everyone is here, come with me to the trial site!" After saying that, he raised his sword into the air, and all the disciples flew together with their swords.
Xuanyi gave Wang Shuo many more instructions, and Wang Shuo nodded and followed the team with his sword.
Xuanyi below became smaller and smaller, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared. Wang Shuo sighed, and all the disciples followed Yan Ye with swords and moved forward at high speed.
On the way, Wang Shuo glanced at Yan Yue every few breaths, and occasionally moved closer to her. However, Yan Yue kept facing forward and never looked back at Wang Shuo.
About a day later, everyone went to a lake.
Listen to Yan Ye say: "This lake is called Tianchi. It was originally a volcano. When the volcano died, this lake emerged. Thousands of years ago, the heads of the five great sects had fun here. When they went to the bottom of the lake, they saw a magic circle.
After moving, I was able to teleport to a strange place, which is the place where you are now being tested."
After hearing this, Wang Shuo couldn't help but take a few more glances at the lake from the air.
It's like a mountain was cut in half, and a groove was dug out. The facade of the groove was filled with water, and the water flowed down the gap in the groove, forming rivers at the foot of the mountain.
When everyone landed by the lake, they saw that the other three sects had arrived, namely Qilian Sect, Tianji Sect and Jian Sect.
The leaders were all elders of their respective sects. After settling down the disciples of the Xianfeng Sect, Yan Ye went off to chat and joke with those who led the team. It seemed that he had not seen his friends for many years.
It was already dusk and Huanyuan Palace was not coming, so the four factions had no choice but to wait where they were.
At night, it began to rain. It was just a light rain at first, but no one had any reaction. Then it gradually became heavier.
Wang Shuo then took out his umbrella and put it on, and looked at Yan Yue. She was frowning and seemed to have not brought an umbrella.
Wang Shuo quickly took out another umbrella from the gourd and was about to take it forward when he saw a female disciple sharing an umbrella with Yan Yue. Wang Shuo heard the two talking from a distance.
"Thank you, junior sister, for bringing an umbrella, otherwise senior sister would be in a state of despair."
Wang Shuo curled his lips and looked helplessly at the female junior sister. She was ordinary and short.
At this time, a senior brother next to him saw an extra umbrella in Wang Shuo's hand: "Junior brother actually has two umbrellas, can I lend them to you?"
Wang Shuo glanced at him and nodded.
The man thanked him and took the umbrella: "Excuse me, I see that my junior brother has white hair. He must be junior brother Wang Shuo."
Wang Shuo smiled and glanced at Yan Yue from the corner of his eye: "I'm afraid that apart from those old men, the Xianfeng Sect won't be able to find anyone like me."
"That's true!"
This Yuji was born with delicate features and beautiful eyes. Because Wang Shuo was tall, Yuji seemed a lot shorter. However, Yuji looked quite mature at first glance.
"I don't know what this trial is like. Senior brother, does he know?"
"I know a little bit about it. In fact, I used the underwater teleportation array to go to a mysterious place to kill monsters. The monsters there all have a black monster core, which can be used to refine foundation-building pills and cultivation pills.
How many foundation-building pills we have depends on how many demon cores our disciples get!"
The next day, Huanyuan Palace arrived, and the leader was a female Taoist priest.
The gauze covers his face, so his appearance cannot be seen clearly, but his voice is as clear as that of a lark.
Looking at the disciples of Huanyuan Palace, both men and women are in company, and the women are all beautiful.
Wang Shuo pretended to turn his head and discuss with Yuji on the side that the girl from Huanyuan Palace had a good life, but at the same time he glanced at the girl from Huanyuan Palace with his peripheral vision.
Sure enough, one of the women was looking at the men from the Xianfeng Sect.
Wang Shuo was wearing the Xianfeng Sect Taoist uniform that day, so he must have been recognized. However, Wang Shuo concealed his appearance. As long as he looked normal, the woman would not be able to find him for a while.
But the woman's eyes stopped on Wang Shuo's face. Wang Shuo suddenly felt nervous and suddenly had a second thought.
"No, I forgot the most important thing!"
Although my face was hidden that day, I forgot about my gray hair.
This is his most important characteristic. The self transformed by the illusion talisman is basically the same as himself, and he also has white hair.
Now that he was exposed, Wang Shuo stopped covering up and looked at the woman, but he couldn't help but recall the woman's body in his mind.
At this time, the Taoist monk next to the woman seemed to notice something strange and was asking the woman something. The woman shook her head and said it was okay, and did not look at Wang Shuo again.
But after that, Wang Shuo could often see the woman looking at him.
Wang Shuo then used the bodies of other fellow apprentices to block him, which made people irritated.
When the time comes, you will have plenty of time to solve the problem when you enter the place of trial.
Now that the five factions have arrived, it's time to enter the place of trial.
The five leaders each took out two other cards, chanted a spell to activate one, and threw it into the air. The five tokens gathered together and turned into a pentagonal light pillar that went straight to the bottom of the lake.
The five people chanted the mantra together, and the pentagonal light pillar gradually expanded, blocking the lake water, and a pentagonal abyss appeared in the lake.
The five people shouted in unison: "All disciples, follow me in!"
After saying this, the disciples entered with their swords and reached the bottom of the lake. Sure enough, they found a stone platform. The stone platform was several meters in diameter and had a formation carved with it. There were five grooves outside the formation.
The five leaders placed another token in their hands into the groove. After injecting spiritual power, the formation lit up.
In an instant, another five-prism of light shot straight into the sky.
"Disciples of each sect, please enter quickly according to the entrance of each sect! Remember, you are not allowed to fly with a sword in the trial area. You can only walk to the center area before you can see the exit."
So Wang Shuo and others entered from one side of the five-prism pillar one by one. After watching Yan Yue and other female disciples enter, it was the turn of the male disciples.
Wang Shuo felt slightly dizzy as soon as he entered the beam of light. When he woke up again, he realized that he was in a different place and there was no one around him.
Chapter completed!
