Chapter 18 Changes
While Wu Jie and Xiao Buyi were curled up in the shelter, waiting for the wind and sand to stop, Linlu Mountain had already ushered in the second exam.
There are two topics: the first is to choose a word from "Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon" to write a poem, and the second is to choose a person from the founding generals of this dynasty as the title, to write a poem or essay.
Of course, a total of three poems and one essay is needed, so the rest is freedom to play.
In the past, this subject was the most distressing thing for him. Writing three poems in a day? It’s easier to kill him!
The fastest record of writing poems in Linlushan in the past was that he completed a poem in five days - and it was the level that Wu Jie shook his head repeatedly after reading it.
This is the reason why he had never had much confidence in himself before.
But...the situation is different now!
For more than a year ago, Dan'er helped him adjust his thinking and writing habits. Later, there were poems and essays taught by Wu Jie to have all his strength. He has now transformed from a rookie who can only jump on the ground and transformed into a divine dragon soaring in the sky!
In less than an hour, three poems and articles were read in one go. Then he was still in the mood to eat some pastries made by Dan'er, drink some tea, and even close his eyes and take a nap.
When he adjusted his state again, he began to review these four poems and began to think about where else he could modify it so that it would be more perfect and more charming.
He did it easy and freehand painting on the other side, and Wu Jie was also relaxed.
Everything that can be done has been done, and the next thing is Xiao Buyi’s own problem.
He is quite confident about Xiao Buyi. This "quasi-predecessor" who has been practicing Taoism for twenty years is quite outstanding in terms of wisdom and talent, and his knowledge is not bad. His adaptability and decision-making on the spot are extraordinary. More importantly, his luck is quite good.
No matter from any angle, Xiao Buyi is enough to become the successor of Buyi's divine appearance. Unless Senior Li Buyi has a problem with his mind and is not a peerless genius, he will definitely be qualified!
Wu Jie sat in front of the broken wall that was actually the gate and rested for a while, then easily left the ruins of the ancient city, found a shelter outside the city, lying down to rest, and patiently waited for Xiao Buyi to come out.
Although his mission has been completed and he can go home now, he feels that since he has agreed to help Xiao Buyi obtain the true teachings of the Buyi divine appearance, he has the obligation to wait and see the ending.
Regardless of whether Xiao Buyi can pass the test, it should not take too much time.
Anyway, he has nothing to care about now, so it’s okay to wait here for a little longer, even if it’s three to five months, it doesn’t matter.
At worst...it's enough to be considered as a retreat and practice.
With this idea in mind, he simply lay down on the ground and prepared to sleep and start practicing.
The weather in this desert is hot during the day and sunny, which is very suitable for practice.
With his current realm, basic cultivation only requires daily nourishment. What you really need to do is to refine the heavenly fire or earth fire, cooperate with the true fire in your body, and melt the samadhi true fire that you are proud of when you debut.
Samadhi True Fire refers to the combination of "Heaven Fire", "Earth Fire" and "Human Fire". It has many sources, ranging from one to another. Samadhi True Fire composed of different sources has different powers, and it can even be said to be ever-changing.
Wu Jie planned to use the sun's true fire on the glorious sun as the heavenly fire, the earth's center poisonous flame deep in the earth as the earth's fire, and then use the pure yang true fire as the human fire, and combine the three fires into Samadhi True Fire.
He has achieved success in practicing the Fire Department Dharma, and the power of divine fire is not inferior to that of Samadhi True Fire. However, the Fire Department Dharma requires practitioners to continuously strengthen their understanding and control of the flames, so if they can practice Samadhi True Fire, it will be of great benefit to his own practice.
Not to mention, the unique effects of many Samadhi True Fire cannot be achieved by divine fire.
If he can merge the sun true fire, the earth-center poisonous flame and the pure yang true fire into the Samadhi True Fire according to the plan, the power of that Samadhi True Fire will definitely be very outstanding among various Samadhi True Fire, and all kinds of wonderful uses will be very comprehensive, and will become his effective means of cultivation and combat.
Wu Jie slept peacefully for almost two hours, and he didn't get up until the sun was on the west side.
He came to the top of the tower, the highest ruins of the ancient city, sat there and watched the setting sun gradually falling, and carefully experienced the feeling of the sun's heat falling on his body.
The true fire of the sun is not fire, it is the crystallization of light and heat. You must have a full familiarity and understanding of sunlight before you can extract it from the hot sunlight.
At this moment, he saw the direction of the east horizon, and someone was galloping towards this side.
He frowned, activated the invisible sword, and disappeared, while flying towards the figures that were galloping over.
No matter who he came, if he wanted to fight, he hoped that the battle would be carried out far away from the ancient city.
Xiao Buyi is undergoing tests and inheritance in the place of inheritance. At this time, he must prevent others from hindering the ongoing inheritance rituals as much as possible.
But he only flew for a short distance and felt something was wrong.
Although I still can't see who those people are, I always feel that the figure looks familiar. And... looking at those people, it seems that they are not here to make trouble, but they are running away...
After a while, he finally saw the faces of those people clearly, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, and was startled and angry.
Aren’t the group of people who are running away just Yan Feng and the others?
Yan Feng and the other four who were chasing the gray figure in the early morning were in great embarrassment at this moment. Yan Feng's robe was as broken as a rag, and there were scars everywhere on his body. Every step he took in the desert left many blood, which looked shocking.
But his situation is that it looks better among the four!
He carried Zhang Li on his back and was holding Su Lin. The short and strong man lay on his back motionless. Su Lin seemed to have some strength to cast spells and shone green lights into Yan Feng's body. Perhaps it was with the help of these green lights that Yan Feng, who was terriblely injured, could escape with the two of them.
Not far behind Yan Feng, Zhang He, who had only one arm, staggered and followed. His right arm was no longer there. His only left hand was holding a short sword tightly, his face full of fear and anger. From time to time, he looked at the tension that seemed to be lying behind Yan Feng, as if there was no breath, and he seemed very worried.
What's going on?!
Wu Jie frowned and increased the speed of flying with his sword to the fastest. After a while, he rushed to Yan Feng and the others and asked, "What's wrong? Who hurts you like this!"
When Yan Feng saw him appear, his face showed a hint of joy, but then he was replaced by deep fatigue. He softened his whole body and fell to the ground, and was caught by him.
"Junior brother, hold on!" Wu Jie hurriedly took out a scorching jade bottle and put only one fiery red pill inside into Yan Feng's mouth, "Don't say anything, have a good rest, just leave the next thing to me!"
This pill is a spiritual medicine sent by Qingyang Temple to every disciple who walks down the mountain to save his life in critical moments. It is called "Life-Sustaining the Heavenly Pill". If you still have a breath, you can stabilize the injury and use it to help you slowly treat it. However, it is difficult to refine this medicine. Each disciple only sends one pill at a time, and only after using it will be released again.
Wu Jie was familiar with the medicinal properties. He knew that Yan Feng's own spiritual pill had been fed to Zhang Li at the moment of smelling it - so Zhang Li slept so peacefully on his back, which was the effect of the medicinal properties. At this moment, Yan Feng took the medicinal pill himself and his eyelids began to doze off and fell asleep in an instant.
He carefully placed Yan Feng on the flat sand so that his junior brother could lie more comfortably, and then frowned. He asked Su Lin, who was still in shock, and Zhang and the two of them, "What's going on?"
"We were ambushed!" Zhang He just threw down the broken sword that he was reluctant to let go when he was running for his life. He caught his brother with his one arm and carefully laid Zhang Li to rest. Because of this action, he vomited a large mouthful of blood, sat shakingly on the ground, and said weakly, "That guy, deliberately lead us into a trap!"
Wu Jie immediately understood a little and looked at Su Lin again.
Su Lin is indeed a tree demon known for his long life and long vitality. Although he seemed to be very injured and fell hard just now, he had recovered a little bit of vitality. A little rosy was gradually seen on his miserable white face. These thousand two hundred years did not live in vain.
Seeing Wu Jie's eyes coming, he took a breath and explained: "We chased the figure all the way, but ended up in ambushing - the famous evil cultivator organization in the northwest region 'buzzing' collectively hidden under the sand, and when we passed by, he rushed out and launched an attack."
He showed a little fear on his face, and he was still scared of the scene at that time: "If it weren't for the quick reaction of fellow Daoist Yan and dragging us to break through immediately, and with fellow Daoist Zhang Li's body blocking most of the attacks for us, I'm afraid that the four of us would die there on the spot!"
"How many people do the other party have and what are their abilities?" Wu Jie asked in a deep voice, "Are you still chasing behind?"
"There should be forty-two people in a swarm. Among them, the leader, "Queen Bee", Luo Che, had already broken through to the 100 refinement realm twenty years ago. It is not clear whether he has reached the Tongyou Realm now; "Queen Bee" Li Ziyun just achieved a hundred refinement not long ago, but this woman is good at training disciples, and the 36 people in the 'Quanfeng' were all trained by her."
"Fengfeng?"
"Yes, the reason why the swarm is famous is that they have thirty-six disciples who are known as the "Group of Peaks". Those thirty-six people have mediocre cultivation, but they have mastered a set of joint attack formations, claiming that even the refining cultivators can beat each other head-on."
"So powerful?" Wu Jie was shocked. The ability of the cultivator of Refining Gang is not comparable to that of the realm of entering the Tao. If these thirty-six disciples at most, at the innate realm can actually fight against the cultivator of Refining Gang, then Yan Feng and the others can escape, it would be a blessing to invite the heavens!
"Just brag!" Zhang He had already picked up the broken sword and said viciously, "If we hadn't been ambushed, we wouldn't have been beaten so badly!"
Wu Jie suddenly realized and continued to ask: "What about the remaining four except these thirty-eight?"
"Of the remaining four people, two never came forward. They should be responsible for selling stolen goods and inquire about information, and their abilities are not too strong; there are two others, "Soldier Bee" Sun Kai and "Mad Bee" Chen Deng." Su Lin is indeed an old demon who has lived for more than a thousand years, and he knows a lot. "Sun Kai is a martial arts master who entered the Taoist world with martial arts. His melee ability is far superior to ordinary monks; Chen Deng is an evil cultivator who refined himself into a special zombie. He is invulnerable to swords and guns, extremely powerful, and is as aggressive as a madman. He has killed the famous master of refining hundreds of times many times."
"We didn't see Chen Deng this time." Zhang He added, "That guy is over four feet tall and is a terrifying giant."
Wu Jie nodded slightly - this is probably the only good news.
"Who is that gray figure?" he asked again.
"I don't know, after we were ambushed, we broke through and ran away immediately. We only had time to glance and confirmed that the 'swarm bee', 'king bee', 'king queen' and 'swarm bee' were there, and we didn't have time to pay attention to anything else." Su Lin sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that fellow Taoist Yan had a deep skill and was seriously injured, he could still run wildly with two people, and the 'swarm bee' had low cultivation and was not running fast, so we would have been chased and killed long ago..."
Wu Jie's mouth raised, but there was no smile in his eyes, coldly as if there were flames pounding inside.
"Your injuries should not be a big problem, right? Mr. Su, I know that old world like you must have a way to save your life and heal you, Junior Brother Yan and the others will entrust you to you." He looked to the east, and the sun about to set made his face red, "I want to go and see what they have to do!"
