Chapter 39 I Want to Become an Immortal (8)
Liu Sheng walked slowly from the fog, and everyone around her glanced at her in unison, their eyes full of vigilance.
These disciples were dressed in various colored robes, either looking nervous or calm. If they came together, they would talk to each other in low voices, but they were all staring in the direction of Qingxu Hall, as if waiting for something.
So Liu Sheng stood aside quietly, waiting.
I don’t know how long it took, but everyone became restless, fearing that another half a day would pass before a bell rang from the jade steps, clearer and louder.
Then, the door of Qingxu Hall slowly opened, and an old man wearing a white robe walked out. He had white hair, white eyebrows, and a white beard. His face was pale, but his eyes were as deep as abyss, making people afraid to look directly.
After seeing the old man, the disciples immediately saluted in unison and said in unison: "I have seen the master."
Liu Sheng quickly imitated the salute.
The old man nodded slightly, indicating that everyone did not need to be polite.
His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then he said: "The Qingxu Hall promotion exam is about to begin. If you are interested in participating, please take out the Qixuan Token and walk up the steps and stand next to me." The old man's The voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to contain deep meaning.
"However, I must make it clear to you first that if you fail the test of Shengshe, your life will be at risk. You should be prepared and determined." The old man added, seeing that many people were already getting ready to make a move.
Liu Sheng saw a cruel smile on the old man's lips from a distance.
As soon as these words came out, some people stopped immediately and even turned around and left.
Liu Sheng naturally wants to stay. Since it is an examination school, there should be clear rules, so as long as you follow the rules, you still have a chance.
She followed the remaining people up the steps step by step.
With every step he took, the depressing feeling in his heart became more intense. Not only was the air filled with cold and dampness, but there was also an indescribable evil atmosphere.
I don’t know how many steps there are on the Jade Steps. Liu Sheng’s legs and feet were sore from walking before he came to the door of Qingxu Hall.
She walked pretty fast, maybe because she was full.
Most of the other people had been hungry for a long time. They climbed up and rested, and even used their hands and feet to reach the back. By the time they reached the top, they were already weak.
As she got closer, she saw that the old man was the same as the three people she saw today. He was full of lifeless energy and his skin was covered with corpse spots. He was obviously a strange creature.
"Shangshesheng comes forward first." The old man shouted, but no one answered.
"I see, it is a pity that none of you have sacrificed your life..." The old man said it was a pity, but his stiff face did not move.
"Next, let's live inside."
Only four people stepped forward holding the Qixuan Order in their hands.
Liu Sheng knew that according to the three-level rule in general academies, that is, outer, inner, and upper classes, she would definitely be an outer student when she first entered the academy, so there was no need to take the lead.
Sure enough, the old man glanced at the four of them and pressed the magic formula with his hands, and the Qixuan Order in their hands actually showed the words.
Liu Sheng then realized that the Qixuan Order actually had such a function, but it was a pity that he could not see what was written on it.
One of the four people was shocked when he saw this. He shrank back and tried to cover the words on it with his hand, shaking like chaff.
The old man smiled coldly, knowing what was going on: "You are a fool, get out of here."
Then he waved his sleeves and robe gently and threw the man under the jade steps.
The jade steps were so high that the man's bones were broken when he fell down. From a distance, he could see his limbs twisted and lying on the ground, motionless.
He laughed loudly when he saw this, and then said to the three of them: "Go in, if you pass the exam this time, you can be a student of Shangshe."
The three of them said yes. , filed in through the door.
The moment the door opened, Liu Sheng wanted to see what it looked like inside, but he only saw the darkness inside the door and could not see anything.
After all three people entered, the door was closed again.
The old man glanced at the remaining foreign students, and with a wave of his hand, the Qixuan Orders on everyone's hands flashed and the words appeared.
The Qixuan Order in Liu Sheng's hand reads: [Name: Yao Sujin]
[Age: Nineteen years old]
[Identity: Qixuanxue Shenshusheng]
[Time of admission: the twenty-third year of Tianhe]
[Zhaishe: Xichunzhai Chou Shi2]
[Root bone: unknown]
[Comprehension: unknown 】
【Cultivation: None】
Liu Sheng deliberately stood in a place neither forward nor backward. When passing the old man, he took the initiative to ask: "Excuse me, the headmaster, how long will it take to take the exam after we enter, and will it be too late to return to the studio?"
The old man did not expect such a question and was very surprised. Surprised, he looked at Liu Sheng meaningfully and replied: "Once you enter the Qingxu Hall, it will be another cave. The years will be calculated separately and will not take up the time outside."
This sentence is very informative. Liu Sheng thanked the old man and followed the team into Qingxu Hall.
The scene in Qingxu Hall was very different from the quaint lecture hall she had imagined before. There were no rows of tables and chairs, no scent of ink from books, only dim and cold lights swaying, reflecting strange faces. .
The six lecturers sat one by one on the high-backed black Taishi chairs on the high platform, like towering black shadows.
Liu Sheng recognized that the three he had seen not long ago were among them.
Their faces were as pale as paper, and the expressions on their faces were ferocious and twisted, like dead souls crawling out of the River Styx, which made people shudder.
In front of the high platform is a large pool of blood, bubbling and bubbling. The smell of blood is very strong, and it seems that there are limbs and heads floating in it.
It was the first time for the disciples of Waishe to come here. Seeing such a situation, their faces turned pale and there was deep fear in their eyes.
The woman who once exposed Liu Sheng's identity glanced at Liu Sheng with interest, and then said loudly: "Everyone, let's go in."
Everyone looked at each other, obviously feeling that this blood pool was not a good thing, and hesitated not to be the first to go in.
A male disciple raised his hand tremblingly and asked, "May I ask, Master, if this is the exam for promotion to a foreign school? There will be nothing else?"
This The question was very clever, and the female spy didn't want to embarrass everyone here. She nodded and said, "Yes, Waishe is testing the bones. If it passes, it means that she has the potential to become an immortal."
Although this situation is very strange, the temptation of the word "becoming an immortal" is hard to resist. Some people are already eager to try it. They take a deep breath and muster the courage to step into it.
As soon as the man stepped into the blood pool, he howled violently and then fell into the blood pool.
As soon as he was immersed in the pool water, his skin and flesh rotted away instantly, turning into a white skeleton and slowly sinking to the bottom of the pool.
Everyone was shocked and didn’t expect that the first person would pay such a heavy price.
"This, you never said it would be so dangerous!" Another disciple also wanted to follow the man in, but he was a step too late, but he was secretly glad that he was a step too late.
The lecturers on the high platform suddenly burst into laughter, as if what this person said was ridiculous.
Liu Sheng remembered that the old man had just reminded him that if he did not pass, he would die, which was naturally dangerous.
A male lecturer said: "I think you are too stupid. There is no need to measure your bones. You will definitely not be able to become an immortal if you are so stupid."
Then he stretched out his hand into the void. The disciple was held in mid-air by him, and he held him tighter and tighter, and finally turned into a ball of blood mist with a "bang".
Others couldn't help but feel sad when they saw that this was a loss for the two of them, and they also understood that there was no other choice now.
And those who can come to Qingxu Hall have already thought that cultivating immortals may be the key to surviving in this strange disaster, or even the key to escape, so they can only bite the bullet and continue.
So everyone walked into the blood pool one after another full of fear, and screamed in pain one after another. Some people soon fester and died like the previous one, and some people were bruised but persisted.
Liu Sheng seemed to be unable to see the purgatory-like scene in front of him. His whole body tensed up and he walked into the blood pool.
