Hua Qiangu's father was an old scholar. Although he did not obtain any decent fame, he taught Hua Qiangu all he had learned in his life. Therefore, although Hua Qiangu lived in poverty, he was also literate. At this time, he hoped that Golden runes lining the void Recited:
"The ancient demon god was born and brought harm to the people. The gods worked together to seal it. The demon soul was poured into the artifacts of the ten directions and sealed, so that the demon god could go to heaven and earth, and there was no way to live or die. In the world of the ten directions, Both form and spirit are destroyed, which is a hindrance The artifact is reunited and the demon god is resurrected. All the sects regard guarding the artifact as their highest mission, and they have never dared to relax for thousands of years..."
After reading this, Hua Qiangu's heart trembled, and he turned around and asked : "Master, is this true? ?”
She originally thought that the identity of the chief disciple of Shushan was magical enough, but then she saw news about the ancient demon god. The magic was so magical that she couldn’t help but doubt that this story would be ' authenticity.
Qin Yao silently put away the Complete Book of the Six Realms and said: "The Shu Mountains were wiped out, isn't that enough to prove its authenticity?"
Hua Qiangu: "..."
Is this really a height that I can reach?
Qin Yao exhaled a breath and said: "Qian Gu, you have to work hard in practice from now on. We, master and disciple, may face many challenges in the future, and they are very high-end and have no strength. , can’t even keep his own life Stay."
Hua Qiangu woke up from his dream and nodded heavily: "I will practice hard and try not to hold Master back!"
Qin Yao smiled: "Okay... Let’s practice.”
In the blink of an eye, four months flew by.
On this day, the master and the apprentice were practicing as usual in the ancient palace. A figure in white clothes and snow suddenly fell on the hanging mountain, attracting Qin Yao's attention.
The next moment, her body suddenly flashed outside the ancient palace and said in a solemn voice: "Is there something wrong, Master Bai?"
Bai Zihua hesitated and said: "Are you still blaming me?"
Qin Yao knew what he was talking about and shook his head decisively: "No, why should I blame you?"
Bai Zihua had a thousand words in his heart, but for a moment he didn't know how to say them, so he said: "The examination for Changliu's apprenticeship starts today. Come with me to see if there are any immortal seedlings."
Qin Yao's heart moved. , asked: "If there are fairy seedlings I like among them, can I also put them in the door wall?"
Bai Zihua nodded: "Of course. Changliu, Shushan, from now on, the same spirit and branches."
Qin Yao: "..."
Bai Zihua is indeed He is more suitable to be the leader than Mo Yan and Sheng Xiaomo, at least they don't have this kind of grandeur.
"In that case, let's go." Soon, he responded, and then shouted into the hall: "Qiangu, stop practicing and go with me as a teacher."
Watching helplessly The lively little girl skipped out of the hall, Bai Zihua's eyes moved slightly.
So far, he has not seen anything in this little girl that can threaten him. Why should she be his life and death?
Bai Zihua is very confusing.
Shao Qing, Qin Yao, Hua Qiangu, and Bai Zihua came to the dojo where Changliu disciples practiced swordsmanship. They saw that hundreds of candidates in different costumes had come to the dojo. Mo Yan He and Xiao Shengmo were sitting on two stone seats in front of the main hall. There was an empty main seat in the middle, which was obviously reserved for Bai Zihua.
"Meet the leader."
The moment they saw him, the Changliu disciples guarding here clasped their fists and shouted, so that the candidates who came to compete quickly followed suit and bowed.
Bai Zihua didn't look sideways, strode up the stone steps in front of the palace, came to his seat and sat down; Qin Yao's immortal sleeves were fluttering, sitting on a stone bench next to Mo Yan, while Hua Qiangu looked like She stayed behind him like a good girl, looking at today's candidates.
"Junior Brother, please decide the host of this admissions meeting." As the two great immortals took their seats, Mo Yan immediately said to Bai Zihua.
Bai Zihua said calmly: "Let Luo Shiyi do it."
Luo Shiyi is Mo Yan's disciple, and he is also Mo Yan's favorite closed disciple.
Bai Zihua doesn’t have any direct disciples yet, so he chose him.
Mo Yan knew all the reasons and said to the bottom: "Luo Shiyi, you will preside over it."
"Yes, Master."
One person The young man who looked young and had a simple and honest look stood out from the crowd and pointed to the center of the square. Xian Jing said: "Listen carefully, all candidates, the first level to enter Changliu is the Monster Forest. In this forest, there are countless murderous intentions. Once you choose to enter it, you will bear your own blessings and disasters. I will give you half a stick of incense. time to think about it, I hope you can think more about your own abilities and don’t lose your life here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the seekers who came to take the exam suddenly became noisy, talking about anything.
Subsequently, under torture between life and death, several well-dressed seekers who looked like they were the children of powerful people stood up and expressed their intention to withdraw from the assessment.
There is nothing wrong with Luo Shiyi, so he immediately arranged for someone to send them away...
"Coward!"
When they passed by a similarly well-dressed woman, the woman He immediately mocked.
"The sky is full of glory, and virtue is accumulated with words." Among the people who were about to leave, a young man said in a condensed voice: "Not everyone can have a good father like you, and have been exposed to spiritual practice since childhood."
Stone Steps Up, in front of the main hall, Qin Yao's eyes immediately shifted when he heard the three words "Ni Man Tian".
In the original work, Ni Mantian is a very sad character.
When she first appeared, she was just a little arrogant, but she was still very good to Hua Qiangu, and the two were like sisters.
But since Hua Qiangu became a disciple of Bai Zihua, and she could only become a disciple of Luo Shiyi, after a life difference, she changed and became opposed to Hua Qiangu everywhere, and finally ended up The fate of being tortured to death.
If she puts it into the door wall, as long as she can make a bowl of water even, I believe it can change her destiny, thus directly cutting off those plots that harmed Hua Qiangu.
When you are familiar with the plot, this hidden danger must be solved in advance. If possible, Qin Yao even wanted to put Dongfang Yuqing, who was destined to sneak into Changliu in the future and was going to be unfavorable to Bai Zihua, into the door wall and keep him under strict supervision to prevent him from causing any more trouble...
< br>Thinking of this, his eyes quickly passed over Hua Qiangu, and he immediately said to Bai Zihua: "Master, please allow me to My disciple Qian Gu also participated in this trial."
Bai Zihua was slightly startled and asked, "Why?"
Qin Yao thought for a while and said, "I don't think there is one. Immortal cultivation is incomplete with an initiation ceremony, and this trial is an initiation ceremony.”
In fact, this is nothing more than an excuse.
He wanted Hua Qiangu to enter the trial, just to pave the way for the subsequent recruitment of disciples.
After all, in terms of fatalism, as long as nothing unexpected happens, Hua Qiangu will have an intersection with Ni Mantian and Dongfang Yuqing after entering the Demon Forest.
Even if something unexpected happens and they don't cross paths, he will still find a way to make them cross paths...
Bai Zihua can't guess the reason and can't understand his rhetoric. .
However, based on the principle that "she" said so, she must have a reason, he still agreed to the other party's request.
But Hua Qiangu was still confused, even frightened. He reached out and grabbed Qin Yao's skirt and said, "Master, will I die inside?"
"What are you talking about? "Qin Yao patted her shoulder and summoned the magic sword with a flip of his hand. Come and deliver it to the opponent: "I will give you this sword for self-defense first, and then return it to me after you come out."
With a hint of cuteness on his face, Hua Qiangu took the magic sword with both hands, and then Qin Yao urged him to go down the stone steps and came to a group of immortal seekers participating in the trial.
In the crowd, Ni Mantian glanced at the dumbfounded guy, his heart moved, and he took the initiative to step forward: "Hello, I am Ni Mantian, the daughter of Ni Qianzhang, the owner of Penglai Island."
< br>
Hua Qiangu reacted quickly and said: "Hello...Hello, I am Hua Qiangu."
"What is your strength?" Ni Mantian asked.
Hua Qiangu said honestly: "I have only been practicing Taoism for a short period of time. I have just learned a set of sword skills, and I don't know how to fly with a sword yet."
Ni Mantian: "... ”
How did this girl, who doesn’t look very smart, become the disciple of Zixun Shangxian?
Although she had never met Xia Zixun before, she could tell his identity by looking at the seats next to the head of Changliu...
"How strong are you?" Hua Qiangu felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and she wanted to Open your mouth to break this weird atmosphere.
Ni Mantian: "It's okay. How about we form a team and practice together?"
Hua Qiangu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded silently. "Your disciple is a bit introverted. He can't even say no." Mo Yan said to Qin Yao on the stone steps.
Qin Yao nodded and said with a smile: "I prefer to call this quality kindness, but being too kind is not a good thing."
Mo Yan said: "Yes, people If someone is good enough to be bullied, if someone is good enough to be ridiculed, you still have to be stronger."
Qin Yao: "..."
This old man has been ruined by his stubbornness and strength in his life. above.
The saying that character determines destiny couldn't be more appropriate for him.
"Everyone, come to me to collect the Silver Water Beads, and then you can enter the Demon Forest."
Just after half a quarter of an hour, Luo Shiyi said loudly.
“What are silver water beads?” asked a seeker.
"The silver water bead is a one-time magic weapon used for teleportation. If you crush the silver water bead as soon as you encounter danger, you can be teleported out." Luo Shiyi explained.
"Then what you said earlier is at your own risk..."
"Of course it's to scare those people." Luo Shiyi smiled and said: "Courage is a small test before passing the third level. If you don't even have the courage, you won't pass the third level. It will be a waste of silver water beads. .”
Everyone was speechless.
Shao Qing, Hua Qiangu and many seekers passed through the fairy mirror and entered the Demon Forest. The scene in front of them instantly changed.
“It’s amazing.” Hua Qiangu sighed softly.
"You are truly magical." Ni Mantian said quickly: "You may look so ordinary, but you can become the disciple of Immortal Zixun."
Hua Qiangu didn't know how to respond, so she just smiled, with such a pure smile that Ni Mantian couldn't say anything else.
"Bang bang bang..."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the two of them came to a wasteland together, and saw a man wearing a green scholar's robe holding a sharp sword. Fighting with a group of piranhas.
Hua Qiangu silently clenched the sword and said to Ni Mantian, "Should we go over to help?"
Ni Mantian was speechless.
Then he said: "This is a trial, a test. The test is to survive here, not whether you can save people here."
"Oh." Hua Qiangu nodded and said: " I listen to you.”
Ni Mantian: “…”
"Swish, swish, swish."
As if sensing the gazes of the two beauties, the scholar's figure suddenly surged in speed, cutting off all the piranha flowers in front of him, and faced the two of them with a smile after landing. He handed over his hand and said, "I, Dongfang Yuqing, have met two fairies."
Outside the Fairy Forest, sitting on a seat on the stone steps, Qin Yao looked deeply at Dongfang Yuqing and said to himself: It's just as I expected.
"Whoosh."
In the forest, just as Ni Mantian was about to leave with Hua Qiangu, a huge piranha suddenly came out of the ground and pulled Ni Mantian himself out of the ground. Swallow the flower bud from foot to head.
“Ah!”
Hua Qiangu was so frightened that she screamed, and Dongfang Yuqing seemed to be frightened too, freezing in place.
At the critical moment, the magic sword held tightly in Hua Qiangu's hand suddenly flashed red, flew up on its own, cut open the bud in an instant, and then rotated to cut off the entire piranha bud.
The whole process was a smooth process.
Outside the forest, in front of the main hall.
Mo Yan stood up with a groan, looked at Hua Qiangu in the fairy mirror, then turned to look at Xia Zixun beside him, frowned and shouted: "Demon energy? This is a weapon Magic sword? "
Qin Yao nodded: "Yeah, what's the matter?"
"What's wrong?"
Mo Yan was angry, and his mood gradually became violent. He was like a dean who suddenly caught a bad student doing bad things: "You are the Immortal of Changliu and the head of Shushan. How can you keep this kind of magic weapon? Quick, quick, take out this magic sword and destroy it."
Qin Yao: "..."
It's over.
This grumpy old man is on top.
In fact, after the original film and television became popular, the audience had a precise complaint about Mo Yan: The grumpy old man will go crazy at any time, and he will just shout when he opens his mouth.
"What are you waiting for? Go ahead." Mo Yan said angrily.
Qin Yao remained calm and said: "There is no good or bad power, only those who use it are good or bad."
"What nonsense." Mo Yan stood up suddenly: "Zi Xun Shangxian, I advise you not to make mistakes."
Qin Yao said: "I advise you to cultivate your mind more and don't get angry all of a sudden. It's scary."
Mo Yan: "..."
"Okay, okay, senior brother." Bai Zihua had to come out to smooth things over, saying: "Zixun was born in the Seven Kills Sect, and is a practitioner of both immortality and demonism. I believe she can control it. ."
"Believe it?" Mo Yan said sternly: "I don't believe it. If she doesn't cut off all the demonic roots as soon as possible, even if she is fine now and has a fairy spirit, once she encounters any big stimulus, she will most likely turn into a demon."
Qin Yao: " ..."
This guy actually revealed Xia Zixun's original fate.
Bai Zihua said: "What kind of stimulation do you think can make Zixun become a demon?"
Mo Yan: "..."
This is what he asked There is a blind spot in knowledge.
Not long after, he found another way, pointed at the magic sword in the mirror and said: "Even if we don't put this magic sword up and destroy it, just letting Hua Qiangu take the magic sword to participate in the assessment, isn't this pure cheating? , what kind of behavior do you have?”
Bai Zihua paused slightly and said, “Shangxun Zixun, how about you summon the magic sword back?”
Qin Yao shook his head decisively: "What if I summon you back and my disciple is injured?"
Bai Zihua: "..."
Mo Yan: "..."
< br>Seeing that Mo Yan is about to do it again When Du opened his mouth, Bai Zihua said quickly: "To ensure fairness, I will use rosemary smoke now to test their character and character. This test cannot be helped by the magic sword."
Mo Yan is still a little uncomfortable. Very satisfied with the result.
But the problem is that after Xia Zixun accepted the Shushan inheritance, her status was invisibly raised by half a level.
With Bai Zihua's mediation, if he were to fight back irritably, it would be his junior disciple who would be in trouble.
He can be harsh, paranoid, and cold-blooded towards others, but he really cannot be cold-blooded towards this junior brother whom his master has asked him to protect! (End of this chapter)
