The girl raised her head and glanced at the stone pillar above her head, with a trace of hesitation on her face.
But the next moment, she flew to the top of the stone pillar, holding an orchid and bamboo pen in her hand, and slowly wrote her first character on the stone pillar.
"star!"
After she wrote this word, she looked at the stone pillar with some unconfidence, but saw that the stone pillar did not react at all. The handwriting she had written was still on it, and she immediately gained a little more confidence.
Next, her orchid and bamboo pen went down along the bluestone without any pause, and began to write the poems she had thought of on the stone pillars.
Everyone looked up at this time and saw that every word written by the girl was very difficult, but after she wrote it, those words did not disappear instantly like the previous ones, but stubbornly remained.
It was just seven words. By the time the girl finished writing, it was already half a cup of tea, and a lot of sweat was already oozing out from her forehead, and her vest and clothes were wet with sweat. It was obvious that she had spent a lot of effort.
Everyone looked again at this time and saw the verses left on the stone pillar:
"The stars fall into the mortal world and the flowers are not old yet!"
These seven characters are written in a graceful and dignified way, just like a beautiful woman's hairpin, with endless charm in every transition.
The crowd fell into silence for a moment. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard someone clapping his hands and shouting:
"good!"
As this person started, the rest of the people also joined in, clapping and applauding one after another, and some even laughed and said:
"I have long heard of the reputation of the Yuxia Sect's 'Huixin Fairy', and when I saw her today, it was indeed extraordinary! I am so happy!"
"Haha, yes, yes! The sea reaches the boundless sky and the cliffs are covered with stars. The flowers are not old yet! It is exactly what we call the 'Hundred Flowers Club' on Luoying Island! It seems that this opportunity to have a drink with the Sanhua layman is only available to Huixin.
Only fairies deserve to have it, we ordinary mortals have no hope."
The girl was praised by everyone, and her already red cheeks became even redder. She had been practicing in seclusion in the sect all year round, and she was already unable to cope with such a scene. Today, the elders of the master's sect were not around, making her even more at a loss.
However, just as everyone was touting them, the surface of the stone pillar standing on the right suddenly flashed with green light.
The next moment, I saw that all the handwriting left by the girl on it had been erased, and the entire stone pillar became bare again!
"this"
The scribes present were all dumbfounded. They were praising the girl a moment ago, but at this moment the writing suddenly disappeared, and they all stayed in place for a while, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, someone sighed softly and said with emotion: "The poems left by senior Sanhua are indeed not that good, or perhaps this senior's requirements are too high. With our literary talent, I'm afraid I can't even do it."
She has fallen into her eyes.”
The rest of the people listened to this man's sigh and thought deeply about it. After the previous people "tested the method", everyone on the top of the mountain was now very cautious, and for a while no one dared to go up to write poems.
Just when everyone was silent, a woman's scream suddenly came from the mountain road not far away.
This scream was very sad, and everyone present frowned slightly. You must know that this is a place where literati gather, how could there be such a miserable scream?
These scribes turned around one after another and looked towards the mountain road not far away. They saw a messy woman in colorful clothes with disheveled hair running towards this side.
Behind her were a group of people, both men and women. The first three of them were wearing luxurious brocade robes and were all in the late Jindan stage. They were looking at the woman in front of them with a playful look on their faces.
They were not in a hurry to catch up, but looked as calm as if they were playing with their prey.
One of them even took out the long whip in his hand and waved it forward from time to time. The whip shadow crossed the void and landed directly on the back of the woman in colorful clothes, beating her skin and flesh to pieces. Obviously, the screams just now were caused by the person who was being raped.
This whip will hit you wherever you go.
"It's a monk from the Hao family!"
Ji Lai narrowed his eyes and spoke next to Liang Yan: "The Hao family, the Tong family and the Situ family are the three most powerful families participating in the selection test this time. It is said that the Hao family has strict family rules, and there are many families raised in the family.
There are very few servants who have good cultivation. As long as the master is not satisfied at all, there will be a family to take care of him immediately. This poor woman should be their servant."
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Then there was someone next to him who couldn't stand it any longer. A tall man shouted sternly: "Hao Lianyun! This is Luoying Island, not your Hao family! Everyone present is a scholar, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous here?!"
"Yeah?"
Hao Lianyun narrowed his eyes and revealed a cold smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man wearing a black robe disappeared instantly next to him. The next moment, this man actually appeared directly next to the tall man!
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap was heard, and the tall man was slapped in the face by the black-robed man. The protective aura instantly exploded, and the whole man flew backwards!
He flew more than ten feet, landed on the ground and rolled a few times. He didn't stop until he hit a boulder. Then he spurted blood from his mouth, closed his eyes, and fainted.
After the man in black slapped the man away, he moved slightly, and the next moment, he returned to Hao Lianyun's side again, still with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.
Everyone present took a breath when they saw this!
You must know that although the man in black is already at the late stage of the Golden Core, the tall man also has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Golden Core. Logically speaking, even if he cannot defeat the opponent, he should be able to survive dozens of moves.
But he couldn't even catch the man in black's move, which shows how terrifying the other man is!
"The three sons of the Hao family, Hao Lianyun, Hao Dawei, and Hao Tiande, these three are all body refiners, and their cultivation levels are also at the late stage of the Golden Core. The person who just made the move was Hao Tiande. His magical power is very impressive. We must not
Look down on!"
At this time, Ji Lai's voice sounded in Liang Yan's mind, giving him a rough understanding of these three people.
Hao Tiande knocked out the tall man with one palm. Now he had his hands behind his back and just sneered without saying much.
Hao Lianyun on the side said: "This bastard is a servant of my Hao family. She followed us to Wushuang City and was supposed to serve the third brother's daily life wholeheartedly. But she had ulterior motives and took advantage of the fact that the third brother was out visiting friends.
At that time, she actually stole the family's treasures and invitations, and came to Luoying Island to try to become a dragon and a phoenix, and to find someone to help her release the restrictions in her body. Do you think you are angry or not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Dawei behind him also spoke: "We are all sensible people. This is a family matter of our Hao family, and there is no need to interfere. Although this bitch is a bit pretty, everyone present is noble.
A man of letters and elegance will not be deceived by such a third-rate thing, let alone help her lift the ban and become an enemy of my Hao family, right?"
The two Hao family members were very good at talking, especially Hao Dawei. He openly praised the scribes around him, but there was also a sense of threat between the lines, and he obviously did not want others to interfere in this matter.
After hearing this, the monks present all looked at each other in shock, and no one said anything for a while.
Although these scribes are numerous and powerful, their cultivation levels are uneven. The highest level is in the late stage of Jindan, while the lowest level is in the early stage of foundation building.
Even those monks who are in the late stage of Jindan, with their magical powers, are more than a little inferior to the third son of the Hao family. If they take action rashly, I am afraid that the end will be the same as that of the tall man before.
What Hao Dawei said just now has given everyone enough face. It means that you are all elegant people and will not become enemies of the Hao family just because of this maid's beauty.
Those monks in the late stage of the Golden Elixir were naturally unwilling to take action after they had obtained this level. This matter was indeed a family matter of the Hao family and had nothing to do with them. Not only did they offend the Hao family by taking action rashly, but they also ended up being "confused by beauty."
"The bad reputation is not worth it no matter how you look at it!
"Hmph, these monks of the Hao family are so shameless!" Ji Lai said angrily from the side: "They are usually domineering and domineering, and secretly they have harmed many monks. How many of those servants have sincerely joined their family? Not all of them.
Were they forced by force? Now you dare to put this matter on the table, you are really shameless!"
Liang Yan looked at the abused woman in colorful clothes, with a hint of contemplation on his face, and suddenly asked: "Is this the Hao family's usual style? This place is under the jurisdiction of Wushuang City. If they make trouble here, then
Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"Who knows!" Ji Lai shrugged and said, "Maybe they are used to being domineering based on their family's reputation. In addition, this is the outskirts of Wushuang City. Those who participate in the Hundred Flowers Club are all young people who have practiced cultivation for no more than five hundred years.
Monks, of course no one can control them!"
While the two were talking, Hao Lianyun looked around.
Seeing that the monks on the top of the mountain were standing idly by and looking like it had nothing to do with him, he no longer had any scruples. He raised his long whip again and sneered at the woman in colorful clothes.
This whip used enough power to hit the woman in colorful clothes on the festered skin, almost knocking her soul out. A shrill scream resounded through the top of the mountain, and Hao Lianyun suppressed the sound with a casual spell.
.
Seeing that the woman's vitality had been intermittent and she was lying on the ground twitching slightly, Hao Lianyun showed a cruel smile on his lips, raised the whip in his hand again, and whipped her wound.
"I can't bear it anymore!"
Ji Lai suddenly shouted low, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and was about to take action to save people.
However, just as he raised his hand, he was pressed down by Liang Yan beside him.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to die without saving me?"
Ji Lai was obviously a little depressed, and subconsciously turned around to look at Liang Yan, only to see him shaking his head and saying softly: "You don't need to take action, someone is coming!"
"What?"
Ji Lai was stunned for a moment and obviously didn't react.
The next moment, a long roar was heard from the mountain road, and then a flying sword came through the air.
The blade of this flying sword is only two and a half feet, but the hilt is half a foot long. The blades on both sides are as black as ink, as if someone has splashed ink on the sword body, and it does not look very sharp.
However, just such a flying sword that was not sharp made Hao Lianyun's expression change, and he hurriedly retracted the long whip in his hand.
It's just that although he moved quickly, the flying sword was even faster. A black afterimage flashed in the air, and with a few strokes, Hao Lianyun's long whip magic weapon was cut into several pieces.
"snort!"
Hao Lianyun looked ugly, and Hao Dawei behind him even snorted and took a step forward.
I saw this short, stout man standing in front of everyone, his bones crackling, and then he lightly stomped one foot on the ground, and his whole body shot up into the air like an arrow from a string.
He didn't see any spells being used, he just summoned up all his strength to punch the flying sword. The punch was so powerful and heavy that a loud noise broke out in mid-air.
boom!
The fierce fist hit the ink-colored flying sword, causing the flying sword to fly backwards.
Everyone in the Hao family looked happy when they saw this. However, before they could say anything, they saw a figure in the air on the mountain path approaching from far away. The speed was surprisingly fast. He was clearly still under the mountain path a moment ago. At this moment,
Already reached the top of the mountain.
The person who came looked like he was twenty years old. He was wearing a set of blue Confucian robes and a moire-patterned scarf. Although he was not tall, he looked slender.
He was holding a wine bottle in one hand and holding the other behind his back. He lightly touched the ink-colored flying sword with one foot and stopped it.
Then the momentum around him was like a rainbow, and his sword intent suddenly surged, and the man and his sword turned into a black light, which reached the top of Hao Dawei's head in just an instant.
Hao Dawei felt an overwhelming sword intent rushing towards him, and his heart couldn't help but sink. But at this moment, he could never show his timidity in front of everyone. He could only use all his strength to punch upwards.
The Hao family is a body-refining family. As one of the "three sons" of this generation, Hao Dawei's body-refining skills are considered to be at the pinnacle of the Hao family. This punch used up all his life's skills, without any reservation, and only filled the surrounding void.
It was slightly distorted from the beating.
boom!
The man in Confucian robes and his sword turned into a jet of black light, as if someone had used a brush to draw a giant sword in the air, and this giant sword slashed downwards with infinite sword intent.
Although Hao Dawei's punches were fierce and domineering, after being pressed down on his head by this huge black sword, his whole aura was immediately reduced by 30%.
He exerted all his strength, and his rough cheeks turned red, but he still could not break through the layers of sword intent above his head. He was pressed again and again, and finally fell to the ground, his feet sinking into the soil.
Hao Dawei was originally very short. At this moment, he was suppressed on top of his head, and half of his body was almost buried in the ground. On the other hand, the monk in Confucian robes was stepping lightly on his flying sword, looking relaxed and comfortable, as if
Suppressing Hao Dawei didn't take much effort on his part.
"Cang, don't bully others too much!"
In the Hao family, Hao Tiande roared, stepped out of the crowd, and also punched the Confucian-robed monk.
The monk in Confucian robes did not look back at this time. He pulled out the cork of the wine bottle with his backhand, raised his head and took a sip, then jumped up from the air and lightly circled his side with the ink-colored flying sword.
A circle of sword intent spread out like splashing ink in all directions. Hao Tiande's pupils shrank and he no longer dared to take a step forward. He only turned his fist and hit the opponent's vital part from a distance.
The man in Confucian robes took a sip of strong wine and laughed. He actually did not dodge, but took advantage of the aftermath of Hao Tiande's fist and soared into the sky. He arrived at the two stone pillars on the top of the mountain in an instant.
He stepped in the air and floated out of the dust. He held a pot in his left hand to fill the wine, and used his sword in his right hand to write horizontally and vertically on the stone pillar.
After the pot of strong wine was finished, the poems on the stone pillars were completed, and the whole process was completed in one go.
Everyone looked up at this time and saw that there were dragons and snakes written on it, which was majestic. The two stone pillars put together were exactly:
"From the sea to the boundless sky, I am the shore; when the mountains reach the top, I am the peak!"
"What a crazy scholar!" Liang Yan thought to himself.
