Chapter 1996 Fighting in the Pond
Shenji Peak is located on the east side of Luotian Mountain. The mountain is cylindrical, with winding mountain roads that spiral upward. When you reach the top, you will see a huge pond with golden lotuses in it. Like stars dotted on the water.
Liang Yan took Cang Yueming to the top of the mountain. They arrived earlier this time, there was still some time before noon. There were only a few hundred people by the pond, half of them monks from Luotian Mountain.
“I’ve met Senior Liang!”
When these people saw Liang Yan arriving, they all came over to salute.
Liang Yan nodded slightly, and then took Cang Yueming to the edge of the pond.
"The second round of assessment will be held here."
Liang Yan squinted his eyes and looked at the golden lotus in the pond, his mind turned, and he laughed after a moment.
“Several Taoist friends from Luo Tianshan have really worked hard to come up with such an assessment method.”
After hearing this, Cang Yueming immediately asked: “Teacher, are you looking at What happened?”
"Luo Tianzong selected Buddhist disciples in order to integrate with the 'Pudu Golden Wheel', so even though this second round is a martial arts fight, the focus is not on your magical power cultivation, but on the Buddha's heart."
Cang Yueming seemed to understand: "But I don't know where the mystery is? Please ask the teacher for guidance."
"Look at those golden lotuses."
Liang Yan pointed to the floating pond. The golden lotus on the surface of the pond smiled and said: "They are not ordinary golden lotuses. They can reflect the mood of the monks nearby. Once someone is impatient or panicked, the golden lotus will break. As for the sky above the pond, there is a restricted air restriction. Unless there is With such cultivation as a teacher, it would be difficult to fly above the water.”
After hearing this, Cang Yueming was slightly stunned, as if he understood something.
"Could it be said"
"In this round of assessment, you will probably be arranged to stand on the golden lotus to fight. While fighting, you must maintain a normal mind, otherwise you will fall into the pond and be eliminated."< br>
“There are such harsh rules!” Cang Yueming exclaimed.
A battle of wits is originally a matter of life and death. Although this time it is just an assessment and there is no distinction between life and death, it is difficult to maintain a normal mind.
After all, the purpose of fighting is to determine the outcome. In this case, there must be a desire to win, and no one can avoid it.
"The rules are a bit harsh, but it's understandable. After all, the venerables of Luotian Mountain hope to select a Buddhist who can save people from suffering and disaster, and inherit the Golden Wheel of Purdue Purity to purify the blood evil in the mainland. Instead of selecting a person who only People who are eager for quick success and quick success to improve their own strength."
"Yes."
Cang Yueming nodded, gradually understanding the thoughts of Lord Da Ku and others.
Liang Yan thought for a while and then said: "I guess there will be a melee later. Remember the 'True Secret of Immobility' and don't attack others. Even if someone comes to you, you must Avoid the truth as much as possible, and never get angry."
Cang Yueming cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance!"
"Yes."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, glanced around the top of Shenji Peak, and suddenly landed on a stone tablet by the pool.
I saw two powerful red characters engraved on the surface of the stone tablet:
"Buddha No"!
“Huh?”
Liang Yan was a little surprised.
This stone tablet looks incompatible with Shenji Peak. Although the two big characters on it are written like a dragon and a snake, vigorous and powerful, they exude an evil spirit and do not look like they were written by someone from the Buddhist sect. .
"This stone tablet" Liang Yan frowned slightly.
"Teacher? Are you wondering about that stone tablet?" Cang Yueming asked from the side.
“Yes, why do I feel that it is incompatible with this place.”
"Haha, the teacher doesn't know something. This is related to a period of history of Shenji Peak."
Cang Yueming smiled and said: "I came half a year earlier than the teacher, and I am familiar with several fellow Taoists in Luo Tianshan, so Learn some semi-open secrets.”
"It is said that this Shenji Peak was not originally called 'Shenji Peak', but 'Lotus Peak'. Many years ago, a monk with amazing talent and beauty came out of Luotian Mountain. In just 1,500 years, he has After cultivating to the peak of sub-sage, he was only one step away from becoming a saint. They discussed Taoism with the master of Luotian Mountain at the top of Lianhua Peak. The two argued for seven days and seven nights. In the end, neither of them could convince the other, and the monk left angrily. Before leaving, he was at the top of the mountain. A stone tablet was erected with the words "Buddha Wu" and "Lotus Peak" written on it. 'So it was renamed 'Shenji Peak' to commemorate the genius's magical exchange with the mountain master."
"That's it."
Liang Yan nodded slowly. It’s amazing to think that there is such a wonderful history here.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, but Venerable Da Ku, Venerable Fuhu, Venerable Xuanye and others climbed to the top of the mountain one after another.
"Fellow Daoist Liang came early today." Venerable Da Ku said hello, and then laughed.
"It's getting late. This is the only disciple from my sect who has been shortlisted. Of course, I have to come and see the venue in advance." Liang Yan said without hesitation.
"Haha, there are thousands of Buddhist dharma, all of them pay attention to the word 'fate'. When the fate of Buddhism is reached, it will naturally be yours. If it is not there, there is no need to force it."
"What the master said That's right." Liang Yan laughed, but his expression was noncommittal.
The Venerable Great Suffering said no more words, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and led his three junior disciples to walk past him.
When Venerable Fuhu passed by, he clasped his hands and saluted him.
Liang Yan nodded slightly.
The four great sages came to an open space behind the pond, sat on the ground, closed their eyes and concentrated.
Soon, people climbed onto Shenji Peak one after another, and even Wuxin arrived with Xiong Yuer, Li Xiran and others.
By noon, Shenji Peak was already crowded with people.
The Great Sufferer opened his eyes and woke up from trance.
“The time has come, and the rules for the second round of the divine machine performance are announced below: the contestants are divided into two groups, one group is the monks of the Transformation Tribulation Realm, entering the Zuo Pool; the other group is the True Lord Tongxuan, Enter the right pool. No time limit, no limit on means, the last person left in the left and right pools will advance."
After hearing the rules of the second round, everyone present had different expressions. Discussed in low voices.
“It seems that the Huajie Realm and Tongxuan Realm monks compete separately.”
"If we follow this rule, wouldn't it mean that only two people can advance?"
"That's right, the remaining Huajie Realm monks and Tongxuan Realm monks can advance to the third round at the same time."
The onlookers were talking a lot, but the monks participating in the competition were secretly observing the pond and the competitors in the same group as themselves.
"Okay, please enter the pond." Lord Da Ku said loudly.
A total of thirty people participated in the second round of assessment. Among these thirty people, fourteen were monks in the Tribulation Realm, and the remaining sixteen were True Lord Tongxuan.
The two monks separated quickly and entered the pond one after another.
"Sure enough, there is a forbidden air restriction!"
The moment Cang Yueming entered the pond, the escape light immediately shattered, and the body fell down uncontrollably. Fortunately, there was a golden lotus. It floated up in time and caught him steadily. The rest of the people were the same, each standing on a golden lotus. As the fourteen Transformation Tribulation Realm monks entered, there were no more golden lotuses in the pond.
“The poor monk announced that the second round of assessment has officially begun!”
Following the order from Venerable Great Ku, the atmosphere above the pond instantly became solemn.
The fourteen tribulation monks who participated in the assessment each occupied an area, and no one acted rashly.
This depressing atmosphere lasted for a moment, and suddenly there was a loud thunder-like noise, and a man in purple robe was seen making secrets with one hand. An ancient mirror appeared above his head. As the mirror light flickered, unexpectedly, Jet-black whirlwinds flew out towards a young female practitioner nearby!
“Hmph!”
Seeing this, the female cultivator immediately pointed her hand, and a light blue aura appeared in front of her. Then it quickly condensed and turned into a cloth bag, rising upwards into the sky. rise.
Boom!
The black wind surged in, roaring continuously, and was about to involve the female cultivator in it, but was stopped by a light blue glow!
But it was the cloth bag that hung high in the sky, shooting out streaks of rays of light, which stopped the black wind in place. Then the mouth of the bag opened, and with a sudden breath, it sucked in all the black wind.
"Xumi bag?"
The purple-robed male cultivator narrowed his eyes slightly, and made the seal with his right hand again. The spiritual power in his body surged out, turning into a hundred-foot-long chain, and once again moved towards the woman. Xiu flew away.
But at this moment, there was a sound of piercing the sky behind him.
The man in purple robe was startled. He was about to use his magical power to defend, but he saw a cloud of blue clouds reaching above his head and hooding his head.
“Ah!”
With no time to react, the man in purple robe was shrouded in blue clouds and let out a scream. Then he saw two red and blue rays of light flying from different directions, hitting him almost at the same time. On his body.
With a crisp sound of "Bang!", the golden lotus under the man's feet shattered. He wanted to fly in the air, but he couldn't fly at all, so he fell helplessly into the pond.
"Amitabha!"
Venerable Xuanye had been prepared for a long time. At this time, he raised his hand and cast a magic spell. He saw a group of auspicious clouds falling and dragging out the purple-robed man who fell into the water.
This man was sitting on the shore with a wry smile. He never expected that he would be the first to be eliminated.
But before he could think about it, he soon heard the sound of falling water again, but it was the female nun who was attacked by him just now. Because she devoted all her attention to dealing with his spells, she was A sneak attack from behind and he also fell into the water.
Two people were eliminated in an instant!
Cang Yueming watched this scene silently and thought in her heart: "The teacher is indeed right. This level is not about fighting bravely, but about who can protect the golden lotus under his feet. When attacking others, you will also expose your own flaws. , he may fall into the pond at any time.”
Thinking of this, he became more cautious, controlled the golden lotus under his feet, and secretly distanced himself from the nearby people.
This is said to be a pond, but it is actually no less than a lake, with a radius of thousands of miles. Moreover, the water in the pond contains mysteries, which can absorb the aftermath of the power generated by everyone during the battle, so that these spells will not harm those watching the battle. Everyone.
“Hmph, let’s start with you first!”
Suddenly I heard a cold snort, but it was Taiyue among the “Seven Heroes of Nanxuan” who took the initiative.
This person's name is "God Lord Houtu", and he is a new talent in Xuanyuan City. It is said that he has tempered his body with the power of Houtu, and his body is very strong!
As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyue stretched out his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan and hit a short man in yellow.
The power of Hou Tu formed a huge palm print, as if a mountain collapsed and fell from the sky, all pressing on the man's head.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound came, and the man in yellow used all his methods, sacrificing all his magic weapons on his head, but still failed to resolve the palm, and was knocked away It's hundreds of feet tall.
The golden lotus under his feet sensed the panic in his heart, and soon broke into pieces, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating on the lake.
“Ah!”
The man in yellow exclaimed and fell into the water involuntarily.
Another person is eliminated!
Taiyue rose up, and Fanyinyi, Ye Xuan, Hua Caidi and Lu Yuan also took action one after another.
They had a tacit understanding not to attack each other, but to target other contestants, because the "Nanxuan Seven Heroes" all have great names and their strength will not be too bad. Instead of provoking strong enemies, it is better to eliminate the weak ones first. It also prevents anyone from fishing in troubled waters.
Just listening to the sound of falling into the water one after another, people were eliminated one after another. After half an hour, only Fanyinyi, Ye Xuan, Hua Caidi, Taiyue, Lu Yuan, and Cang Yueming were left in the pond on the left. Six people were still standing on the golden lotus.
The six of them each occupied a corner, wary of each other, and secretly sizing up each other.
"Haha, we have to fight after all, why bother mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Taiyue laughed and looked at the shadow god not far away.
"Lu Yuan, I've long been unhappy with you! Do you remember what I said three days ago? Come on, let's have a good fight!" "
Lu Yuan showed no sign of weakness and took a step forward. The two people's breaths were tit for tat, and a chilling air filled the air above the pond.
"Fellow Daoist Cang, I heard that your swordsmanship is amazing, and the little girl wants to learn from it."
A soft voice came from the left.
Cang Yueming turned around and saw the "Liu Li Fairy" Hua Caidi.
"There are no weak hands in White Jade City. This is a rare opportunity. Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist!" Cang Yueming said calmly.
“Be careful!”
Hua Caidi smiled slightly, pointed with her hand, and hundreds of colorful rays of light appeared in front of her, flying like catkins, and in a blink of an eye, she was in front of Cang Yueming. .
In every cloud of glow, there is a colorful butterfly flying gracefully, looking harmless to humans and animals.
But Cang Yueming knows how powerful it is. This is the "Hundred Butterflies Flying" magical power in "Liu Li Shen Guang Jue". If a butterfly falls on you, it can break through the defense in the blink of an eye, invade the internal organs, and cause the qi and blood in the body to dissipate. No longer able to compete with it.
"What a move, 'Hundred Butterflies Fly'!"
Cang Yueming smiled slightly, and used her spiritual power to control the golden lotus to glide on the water. In an instant, she retreated a hundred feet, far away. Avoid those weird butterflies.
“Haha, you can’t escape if you want to.”
Hua Caidi smiled sweetly and lightly hooked her finger.
Cang Yueming suddenly felt a magic wave coming from behind him. When his consciousness swept away, he saw ripples on the water surface. After a moment, a flower appeared, colorful and beautiful.
“Not good!”
Sensing something bad, Cang Yueming immediately made a spell, and the sword energy surrounded him, forming a tornado.
Almost at the same time, the flower behind him bloomed, and a colorful ray of light shot out from the bud, split into seven in mid-air, like seven silk threads, wrapped around Cang Yueming
