Lin Xi did not struggle for a long time with the question of whether to try to obtain five five-star records first or to try to pass the spear formation first.
"Conquer people with virtue, convince people with virtue..."
Imitating Thunder Tiger's tone and muttering to himself, Lin Xi had already made a decision when she carried the black stone bow and quiver she had hidden in the grass on her back.
Facing Qiu Lu's black flower spear today, he had already felt the benefits of honing himself in the direct spear formation. Compared with the past few days, his ability to dodge the assassination of this spear has been greatly improved. A few days ago,
Even if he hadn't practiced the killing method An Keyi taught him, the "Black Rose" holding the black flower spear would probably not be able to stab him in one encounter.
With strong combat power, he can defeat every opponent he faces, and the credits for the five five-star rewards can be easily obtained. Unlike now, if he encounters some more powerful opponents, he may still have to use him to return to the tenth level.
He has stopped his previous ability, so it is better to use this ability to improve his real combat power.
After picking up the black stone bow, Lin Xi took off the cloth strip on the handle of the short knife, inserted the knife into her waist, and stuffed the cloth strip and the golden five-pointed badge obtained from Qiu Lu into her quiver.
Among them, he walked quickly towards the direction of the yellow wall.
…
…
A student with five gold five-pointed badges embedded in his black armor suddenly stopped not far from the yellow wall.
Not far in front of him was a pile of dead branches and leaves piled up by humans, and beside them there were a few large crooked characters that someone had carved out with branches.
"Excuse me"
Just when this black-armored student, who obviously wanted to enter the yellow wall to practice, was full of suspicion, and just saw these four big characters on the ground, there was a "swish" sound, and a black arrow shot from the big tree in the forest behind him.
It shot out and landed heavily on his right leg.
This unprepared blow made the black-armored student who had already achieved a five-star record suddenly let out a muffled cry and knelt down on one knee.
Before he could make any unnecessary reaction, the second black arrow landed on his back, causing his body to lean forward involuntarily.
The sound of the arrow hitting the black armor chilled the student's heart more than the pain that followed. He knew very well that an ambush opponent who could accurately shoot two arrows at this speed would never give him a chance. He would definitely be able to accurately shoot two arrows.
He shot the third and fourth arrows.
"Snapped!"
Just as he thought, the third extremely simple pop sounded in his lower back, followed by the fourth...
He fell heavily to the ground, and saw the black-armored warrior holding a black stone bow jumping down from the tree like a ghost. When the opponent shot a second arrow while running, he painfully and helplessly used a slightly sharp arrow to
The voice said: "I admit defeat and show mercy...so that I can have the strength to go inside and practice."
Lin Xi shook the slightly sore fingers of her right hand, paused briefly, and saw the opponent simply took off a golden five-pointed badge on his left shoulder and threw it over. Thinking of what the opponent just said, Lin Xi suddenly couldn't bear it.
I couldn't help but smile, thinking that this person is actually an interesting and wonderful person.
"With your archery skills, you are ambushing me here again... You shouldn't have collected many golden five-pointed badges, right?" Looking at Lin Xi who put his golden five-pointed badges into his quiver, he slowly sat up on the ground.
Ai Qilan angrily rubbed the sore spot on her thigh and couldn't help but say.
Because she felt that the other party was an interesting and wonderful person, Lin Xi answered honestly: "No, with you, I just got five stars."
Ai Qilan said angrily: "You managed to gather five stars, but now I have four stars."
Under the cover of the black armor, Lin Xi naturally didn't know that the other party was a girl from the spiritual sacrifice system, and naturally had no sympathy for her. However, he felt a little embarrassed when the other party complained, so he smiled again and said, "I really don't.
Sorry."
"Have you ever practiced inside?" Looking at Lin Xi's expression, and seeing the four crooked characters drawn with branches on the side, Ai Qilan didn't find Lin Xi annoying at all, and asked again while rubbing the sore spot.
One sentence.
Lin Xi answered honestly: "I have gone in twice, and now I am preparing to go in."
Ai Qilan looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Which palace are you going to?"
Lin Xi said: "Strike directly at the spear formation."
Ai Qilan became really interested and said in surprise: "That's the same place I went to. How many steps did you cover?"
Lin Xi also glanced at Ai Qilan with some curiosity: "About ninety steps, where are you?"
"More than ninety steps?" Ai Qilan was startled, and then said angrily: "I'm asking you seriously, it's fine if you don't want to talk to me anymore. What do you mean by telling lies to try to frustrate me?"
Lin Xi was stunned: "I didn't tell lies."
Ai Qilan was so angry that her face turned red under her silver mask. She thought this person was quite honest just now, but why is he so annoying now? She stood up extremely angrily, glared at Lin Xi and said, "I heard from our department before
Several senior brothers have said that in previous years, even those who came out of the frontier army entered the direct spear formation three or four times and were able to pass seventy steps, which was already an extremely remarkable achievement. Two passes of more than ninety steps, you still said
Aren’t you telling lies?”
Lin Xi was startled: "You have entered the direct spear formation three or four times, and being able to pass seventy steps is already an extremely impressive achievement?"
"I wonder if you have ever entered the direct spear formation." Ai Qilan said angrily: "Anyone who has entered it will naturally know that after being stabbed down several times, it becomes more inconvenient to move. The deeper you go, the more difficult it is to move.
The next ten steps are much more difficult than the first ten steps. There is still a long way to go before the seventy steps and the ninety steps. You..."
"What you said makes sense." Lin Xi scratched his head and smiled sheepishly again. He thought that he was not counted twice in a strict sense, because the last time he was able to cover a distance of more than ninety steps was also because he was using
After returning to the ability before the ten stops.
Ai Qilan looked at Lin Xi, her eyes under the silver mask radiating endless anger: "Laziness is the greatest original sin that destroys will, and lies are what make glory fall into the abyss..."
Lin Xi smiled, looked at the angry Ai Qilan, and said, "You must be from the spiritual sacrifice department."
Ai Qilan was stunned: "How do you know?"
Lin Xi smiled and said: "Before the big test, I met a guy who was determined to enter the spiritual sacrifice department. He said something similar to you. Except for people from the spiritual sacrifice department, who would talk like this all day long.
"
Ai Qilan's brows were so furrowed that she could hold a bowl of water. She looked at Lin Xi like an angry bull: "Why, don't you think these words are wrong?"
"Of course you are, I admit that what you said makes sense, but I have indeed passed more than ninety steps." Lin Xi did not want to get entangled with Ai Qilan, so after saying this patiently, she walked forward.
Yellow wall gate.
"you!"
Ai Qilan was extremely irritated by Lin Xi's attitude. In her heart, Lin Xi suddenly rose to the same status as an imperial heretic. However, Luo Houyuan suddenly appeared behind her, which made her temporarily close her eyes while being slightly surprised.
Mouthed.
Looking at the old man walking silently along the yellow wall, she was filled with surprise and suspicion. However, the old man wearing an old lecturer's black robe just glanced at her and calmly called out her name: "
Ai Qilan, if a priest rushes to judge without seeing the truth with his own eyes, he will become the kind of person he hates. What you have to do is not only to see the real world with your eyes, but also to
You need to be patient enough, even to listen to the statement of a person who has committed a heinous crime.”
"Let's go." Before she said anything, Luo Houyuan walked slowly past her and walked towards the yellow wall gate that Lin Xi had just walked through. "I'll show you... I'm afraid it will be easier for you to understand.
I meant what I said."
…
In the silent stone hall, Lin Xiping, who looked like he had been fished out of water, was lying on the ground. From the entrance of the stone hall to the mud around him, black spears pierced deeply into the mud were like a piece of
Black bamboo forest.
He lay calmly on his back among several spears, panting and looking at the top of the palace.
The square light beams coming in from a few simple stone windows were a bit dazzling. However, it was precisely because it was still early today that he could clearly see a row of words carved on the top of the temple: "True courage only comes from inner perseverance."
Seeing this sentence, Lin Xi thought of nothing else but her father, mother and lovely sister in Lulin Town.
"This practice...really requires enough courage to support it..."
After studying the row of handwriting that she saw for the first time for a long time, Lin Xi, who finally managed to catch her breath, smiled and sighed, then slowly twisted back towards the door of the stone palace like an earthworm.
"It's such a pity that you didn't come with me this time... Although I used my ability and suffered one more time, I have made a lot of progress compared to last time. This should be more than a hundred steps, right? If you
Seeing it, at least you won’t think that I’m lying to you, and you don’t have to tell me those big truths.” While slowly twisting towards the door of the stone palace, Lin Xi said with some regret in her heart.
Unlike other students, Lin Xi has the ability to do it again, so in this stone palace, he is equivalent to his own teacher, and can make the most accurate adjustments to his last action, so this time, his
The result was better than last time... He felt that he had passed a hundred steps, but in fact, the precise straight-line distance from the entrance to the final bronze back door of this stone palace was one hundred and ninety-eight steps, and at the end of the day, he had passed
The straight-line distance was already one hundred and seventeen steps, which was far beyond his own rough estimate.
Just when he finally reached the entrance of the stone palace, stood up and left, and his figure completely disappeared in the area surrounded by the yellow wall, Luo Houyuan, who looked calm, wore a silver mask with an expression of disbelief and despair.
Ai Qilan walked into this hall.
After letting Ai Qilan use her own steps to measure the position where Lin Xi finally fell and gave up, Luo Houyuan led Ai Qilan, whose body was trembling slightly, to ignore a black-robed lecturer who started to pack up the black spears in the hall, and walked out of this place.
Shidian paused on an empty rocky ground in the valley, glanced at the blood-like sunset, Luo Houyuan turned around, looked at Ai Qilan calmly and asked: "His movement and killing methods,
You saw it clearly, and since you also watched the last duel, you should also know who he is now."
"Yes..." Ai Qilan lowered her head, but she couldn't believe it in her heart. How could he be able to hold on for so many steps... How could he do this.
"Ai Qilan, judging from the information collected about you from the academy, you are indeed a very upright person who hates evil. You have always followed your sacrificed brother as an example and want to become a priest... If you are willing,
I can foresee that you are very likely to become a qualified priest, but I ask you now, are you really willing to give up all your glory and wealth forever for the justice and faith in your heart?" Luo Houyuan looked directly at her, still
Said calmly.
"I..." Ai Qilan's body shook violently, and a layer of mist instantly rose in her eyes. She was speechless. She didn't understand why the old man suddenly said this, but she was very sure, very sure.
He nodded vigorously.
Luo Houyuan glanced at Ai Qilan and said lightly: "I want to choose you to be the night watchman."
