Chapter 248 [Birds, Animals and Scales]
He Sheng was flying before entering the thick dark clouds. As soon as I entered the clouds, I immediately felt something was wrong. I was not flying, but felt like I was falling from a high altitude to the earth.
In front, are the butts of more than twenty people. Especially the three people are the most obvious. Starting with the three masters, the remaining people from aristocratic families in the county and city, and finally him.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, a harmonious Red Cloud Cave comes into view. Exotic animals, pavilions, and even buildings suspended in the air are presented one by one.
If there really is a fairyland in the world, it can only be the scene in front of you, right?
Below, tens of thousands of people gathered and it was a mess.
It is worth mentioning that, unlike the entrance in the underground passage and the Hongyun Cave in the Upside Down World, the mountain gate is huge, like an enlarged archway.
Four huge stone pillars are carved from left to right: phoenix, tiger, dragon,? ? ? . The last stone pillar is engraved with something similar to a fish, but with a carapace. The whole thing looks like a horseshoe crab (hòu).
The speed of falling to the ground became faster and faster, and then his vision went dark and his mind became dizzy. The next second, when he returned to normal, he suddenly found that he had been squeezed into the crowd without knowing it.
“???”
His face was full of questions, but he immediately put away his expression and quickly glanced around. If nothing else, I didn’t find any “fellow countrymen”, which is not surprising.
After all, when it fell, tens of thousands of people gathered below. It's just a matter of killing more than 20 people. If you fall into the crowd of tens of thousands of people, the chance of encountering him is really small and pitiful.
"God bless, God of all beasts bless!"
"I can do it, I will definitely do it."
The soliloquies all around spread. It was extremely noisy to his ears. There was also a sense of urgency in the atmosphere of the crowd, as if they were facing the college entrance examination, and everyone was extremely nervous.
"?"
Before he could ask, he was interrupted by a young and loud voice.
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet. If anyone dares to speak again, he will not be assessed and get out!" In front of the crowd, a young man walked out of the mountain gate that was shrouded in mist and could not clearly see what was inside.
Then, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent, and you could really hear a pin drop.
“Buzz——”
Just when He Sheng was wondering, there were tens of thousands of people in front of the mountain gate, and they had to be tested until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. I saw a large number of black beetles pouring out from the mountain gate. The beetles were as big as fists, a bit like Sister Hua in the previous life.
“Crack!”
A pure black beetle landed on his shoulder, and then became as motionless as a stone. I glanced around and saw that there was no one on the shoulders of the people around me.
With a plop, the man who had just begged God to bless him knelt on the ground, his face full of frustration. Some people's expressions were even more miserable, as if someone at home was dead.
“It’s over!”
All kinds of wailing sounds sounded, and the scene was no less than mourning.
“Quiet!”
“Those who don’t smell blood worms on their shoulders should leave quickly. Otherwise, you know the tricks of our Hongyun Cave. Don’t take it hard, San Don’t come back in the next year. If you don’t have talent, you don’t have talent. It won’t happen suddenly in a few years.”
After the young man finished speaking, the group of people left with their heads hanging in frustration. Of course, there are also some who refuse to accept it, with the attitude that I will die in front of Hongyun Cave.
“He who smells bloodworms on his shoulder, follow me into the mountain gate.”
After a while, less than a hundred people gathered in front of the tall archway.
Among them, the costumes of the three masters are very conspicuous.
He Sheng immediately glanced around and saw that there were only ten people who fell into the Hongyun Cave in the Upside Down World not long ago, except for the three masters. The other ten or so people must have been eliminated.
Speaking of which, what is the talent identified by Hongyundong?
"Wait a moment, you will line up to enter the mountain gate. Remember, the person responsible for screening you is the ninth elder of the [Beast Department], please be respectful, you can't go wrong."
After saying this, the young man turned around and entered the mountain gate.
More than ninety people started queuing up immediately.
Because there is no restriction from the Hongyundong disciples, everyone naturally rushes to come.
After a while, the person named He came first.
There is no way, who knows how strong he is? The three masters joined forces, but they couldn't squeeze through him. Take action? If you don't look where you are, you start a fight in front of the gate of Hongyundong. I really hate that you have lived too long!
Of course, the three masters didn't recognize it, and those competing with them for first place were "one of their own." There was no other reason, it was just that someone was cheated on the way, and the two parties exchanged clothes.
At this moment, a young master walked home in a daze, completely unaware of it. The clothes he was wearing were not the same as when he came in, but a thin shirt.
Gan Sheng, who was in front of the team, didn't know that the three masters were behind him. He secretly muttered in his heart how the man who turned the world upside down was so powerful.
“Come in!”
The voice of the young disciple of Hongyun Cave came from the clouds and mist. He immediately took big steps and walked in, his whole body submerged in the thick mist.
It looks like the mountains are covered in clouds and fog outside, but in fact, once you pass through a layer of clouds and fog, your vision suddenly becomes clear. When He Sheng regained his vision, the first thing he saw was a pig sitting on a huge and complicated chair ten steps away?
Pig head, human body, luxurious clothing, not to mention temperament. Even if the person has a pig's head, he still can't hide that frightening sense of danger.
At first glance, I thought the butcher in the first copy had escaped.
The pig's nose twitched, and the pig-headed man spoke.
“Passed!”
"Come here."
The young disciple stood aside, equipped with tables, chairs, benches, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
"Name?"
"He Sheng."
"Age?"
"Eighteen."
"Put a drop of blood on it, and from now on you will be my member of Hongyun Cave. You must keep the jade token and go to the insect cart next to it to wait for all of them to assess After that, let’s go through the final four selections together.”
The young disciple handed him a jade plaque with his name written on it. Behind the jade plaque, there are four kinds of animals carved on the stone pillars of the archway.
As for the so-called bug car, oh!
Not far away, I saw a huge insect that was more than a hundred meters long.
The abdomen underneath the insect is made of an unknown material and resembles a train carriage. Of course, other people's "train cars" are much larger. Visually, it is as easy to fit 500 people as to play.
A few dozen steps later, when he came to the carriage. The door seemed to open directly due to a sensor. "?"
He looked down at the jade token that suddenly became hot in his hand, thoughtfully. Entering the carriage, I found that it was not what I imagined, but single rooms.
Each single room has its own number. It's the kind of strange character that you can recognize at a glance and what it means.
He decisively chose number one.
Hey!
Not to mention, there are beds, tables, chairs, and buckets. It's a bit small, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Even in a small cubicle, Gongtong doesn't have to worry about any odor coming out.
After a while, the huge carriage started to shake. But it immediately became stable, and within a quarter of an hour, I felt the landing. Moreover, the jade tablet became hot again, and the voice of the young disciple of Hongyun Cave came from it.
"Please leave the insect vehicle in an orderly manner and accept the four assessments."
Good guy, this thing can not only be used as a sensor, but it can also be used as a mobile phone through sound transmission? In ancient times, it was not that there was no technology, it was just that technology had the characteristics of the times.
“Squeak!”
Opening the door to the room, looking back, there were about thirty single-room doors that had been pushed open from the inside. Apparently, there were more than 90 people, and almost two-thirds of them had been wiped out.
No hundred people could be selected out of ten thousand people, and the number of hundreds was reduced again. What's more, don't forget to wait a minute. There is also a so-called four-part screening. It is estimated that there will be another wave of "layoffs".
"Since you have been able to pass two levels in a row, it proves that you are all talented people. The only difference is the strength of your talent.
You don’t have to worry about what will happen if you fail to pass the four-part screening. Let me tell you, even if you are not selected by the four people, you can still stay in Hongyun Cave.
It’s just that, the status is definitely different from those who passed the four screenings. Those who have not passed the final level can only do some chores in Hongyun Cave, save some money, and through some special methods, be promoted to official disciples. "
The young disciple smiled and comforted everyone in advance.
While he was speaking, three insect vehicles appeared from the east, west and south in the sky.
“Our Hongyun Cave opens the mountain gate once every three years, so naturally we have to open the four doors. Otherwise, how decent would it be to have people from thousands of miles around all crowded in front of one door?
As for you, you are luckier. The North Gate is relatively remote and extremely far away. In addition, there are rumors that only one in ten thousand people can enter the North Gate. As a result, 90% of people are unwilling to go to the North Gate for the assessment.
That’s why you can arrive early and enjoy the insect carriage that only formal disciples can ride on. People from the other three gates could only squeeze together in a mess, and had to queue up to go to the toilet. "
He Sheng really wanted to complain, it takes more than ten minutes to go to the woolen toilet!
"Yes, there are three gates in the east, south and west. At the speed of an ordinary bug car , the gate closest to the core hinterland of Hongyun Cave, it also takes three days to reach it. "
"? ? ? ”
No, why did we arrive in just ten minutes?
"Hey."
The young disciple didn't say anything and waved at the bug car.
I saw a hundred-meter-long black giant insect fluttering its wings. Then, with a group of people stunned, Wu suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“It is said that formal disciples can use it. In fact, the so-called formal disciples must at least be those who worship the master. The master I am talking about is the father’s father, not just someone who is responsible for teaching. Fu.
Wait a minute, if those who have not passed the screening of the four departments choose to stay in Hongyun Cave, they will not even be disciples, but at most a handyman. The handymen have to do some dirty work, but of course they also have the opportunity to be promoted to official disciples.
Once one of you passes the four screenings, it doesn’t matter whether you worship the master or not. Generally speaking, from now on, you can be called a disciple of the sect, which is considered to be officially recognized by my Hongyun Cave.
Secondly, above the disciples within the sect, there are the registered disciples. At this stage, it can be said that the master values you, but is not sure whether to accept it or not. After observing for a period of time, if possible, you can become a personal disciple.
My direct disciples are amazing, I dare not say that the step-by-step instructions are basically the same. The most powerful ones are the true disciples, those who are responsible for inheriting their unique skills from the elders of Hongyundong.
Some powerful true disciples have status no less than some elders of the Four Divisions. If he is the true disciple of the cave master, haha. To use an inappropriate word, it is almost equivalent to deputy cave master. ”
After a pause, he said again.
"I have told you a lot because I want you to remember how good I am, senior brother. If one of you rises to great heights, please help me more."
Some words , for the young disciple, it is just a small favor, just a waste of words. Even if you don't get favors, you can still make friends.
As long as one or two characters appear among the thirty or so people, his future life in Hongyun Cave will at least be much easier.
"Curious about what kind of disciple I am?" the young disciple said, looking at the curious faces of more than thirty people. "It's just a registered disciple. When the junior brothers soar into the sky in the future, you must support me, senior brother."
"Let's go, let's occupy the four pits first, and save the rest by queuing up."
At this time, the three insect vehicles in the sky slowly landed.
The three beetles are the same size as the insect carriage that formal disciples can ride on, but they are dim in color. The giant insect carrying the people from the North Sect was shining like a black gem and had a huge horn on its head.
"The selection of the four parts is actually very simple. Do you see the four huge stone pillars over there? They represent the four parts of birds, beasts, scales and media respectively. Take the jade tablets in your hands and put them Fill the gap in the stone pillar .
Shizhu can accept the information in the jade card and provide you with the best choice. For example, after testing, the most suitable one for me is the animal part, followed by the scale part. Jiebu.
By the way, I almost forgot to mention that the jade tablet has many functions, one of which is to analyze your blood. As for why, you will naturally know when you get started. "
While talking, everyone came to the four stone pillars. Beside each stone pillar, there were people wearing different clothes standing. And, in their hands, there were pamphlets.< br>
“Hey, this year’s junior brothers are here. Don't be lazy, hurry up and send out the manual. There are some poor handymen in the provincial gate who deceive the new arrivals. "
A big fat man shouted at a group of bored and yawning disciples.
"Junior brother, get to know the Beast Department. The Beast Department is the real pillar of our Hongyun Cave. ”
"Don't listen to him, the Fei Department is the future. The Beast Department is a group of brainless fools, very stubborn. We, the Fei Department, can fly if we can't defeat them."
"The Scale Department is the true future, We have a treasure that can turn us into a dragon in the future.”
“Go away, in recent decades, there have been many. A disciple of Hualong? Jiebu, a rising star, a dark horse among the four. Insects have a variety of uses, and the most important thing is that they are cheap to cultivate. "
Young disciple: "."
You haven't tested it yet, so you're robbing people first?
Outrageous!
After a while, the senior brothers from the Fourth Division were calmed down, and about thirty people began to test one by one.
Not surprisingly, He Sheng came first.
He didn't grab it, but the other thirty or so people defaulted that he ranked first.
Step forward and stuff the jade plaque into the stone pillar of the Bird Department.
"Qiang Qiang~~~"
A loud, high-pitched, crisp cry came from the stone pillar.
“Fengming?!”
