Chapter 292 Changing Houses [Two-in-One]
Qi Yingwu opened his eyes and saw a glittering golden tablet.
He knelt on the ground. In front of him was no longer a Buddha statue, but the ancestral hall at home. He can enter it with his family elders to worship once a year, so he is extremely familiar with this place.
The ancestors of the Qi family have countless famous names. His father told him since he was a child that as a direct descendant of the Qi family, he must become famous like these ancestors in order to be able to shoulder the high expectations of the family.
So he has always worked hard not to humiliate his ancestors, and he never dared to dream of transcending.
This pressure is really heavy.
He didn't remember why he came, and he didn't know why he appeared here. After looking around, he stood up, turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.
As soon as I went out, I saw my father's stern face.
“Trash!” He suddenly yelled: “We failed in the battle to seize the city and failed in the imperial examination. What have you learned in these years of practicing and studying?”
“ Huh?" Qi Yingwu was startled.
Was it already defeated?
Not only the battle to seize the city, but also the imperial examination failed... How could this happen?
"How dare you stand up and go back to kneel!" The father pointed at the ancestral hall and shouted, "If you don't kneel for seven days and seven nights, how can you ask for forgiveness from your ancestors?"
Qi Yingwu He obediently went back and knelt down in front of the memorial tablet, his heart filled with despair.
So it turned out that everything failed?
Then what's the point of living by yourself?
When he thought of this, he felt that the world was dark.
Failure has always been what he fears most. In order to gain recognition from others, he has always been cautious and wants to be a person who meets everyone's expectations. So he doesn't want to disappoint those who have expectations for him, he wants to win.
But life will always fail.
While thinking about it, he remembered something else.
The battle to seize the city failed, what about the companions who participated in the battle? Will they also be devastated by this defeat?
Absolutely not.
Wen Yifan, Liang Yue, Yan Shenbing, Chen Xuanjiu... these young geniuses with truly strong will will probably only regard this failure as a test in their lives.
Then why are you so depressed?
Is it because I am not as good as them? Or is it because he is a member of the Qi family?
If his status as a descendant of the Qi family constrains his Taoist heart, wouldn't his origin become a drag? Even the ancestors would definitely not want to see such a situation.
Thinking like this, he stood up suddenly and strode out of the ancestral hall.
My father was still outside. When he saw him coming out again, he frowned and became angry again: "Why are you standing up again? Do you still have no regrets?"
"Dad." Qi. Ying Wu smiled slightly, "You only need to try your best in everything. If you fail in the end, why do you need to regret it?"
"You..." His father was paused by his question, and then said: "You don't know Are the battle to capture the city and the imperial examination so important? If you fail in these things, then your life..."
In response, Qi Yingwu just asked lightly: "So what?"
After that, he turned and left the courtyard, preparing to go to the academy to meet the teacher, and then walk around the city to relax.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Qi's house, there was a dazzling bright light, which made him cover his eyes with his hands.
When the light faded away, the golden Buddha statue appeared in front of him again.
When he woke up, everyone was almost awake. Only Lin Fenghe closed his eyes to himself, with a painful expression on his face.
Everyone was standing next to him, wondering what kind of inner demons he had encountered that made him feel so uncomfortable when he was usually expressionless.
"Ha." Qi Yingwu chuckled again, "It seems that I still failed."
......
"As long as I can break through the inner demon, In fact, the ranking is not important." Feng Taoist said with a smile, "It will be of great benefit to your future practice and life."
"Indeed," Qi Yingwu nodded.
He rarely shows his heart, but he is always afraid of failure.
As a direct descendant of the Qi family, chief of the academy, and the number one genius in Kyushu, he endured too much pressure. Therefore, he always strives to be decent and even dare not accept challenges because he is worried that if he fails, his whole life will collapse.
When Wen Yifan surpassed him in Youlin Ranking, he was secretly relieved. Because he is no longer the "Number One" in Kyushu who needs to be noticed by all, he can be less noticed.
So he also envied Wen Yifan's strength. No matter how heavy the weight she endured, she still didn't care. She was always calm and never affected.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Wen Yifan and found that she seemed to be thinking about something.
Will the Supreme Immortal Body also have inner demons?
Qi Yingwu couldn't help but be curious.
Before, the answer to this question may have been no, but after experiencing the illusion just now, Wen Yifan also saw the demonic obstacle in his heart.
That experience of being struck by the Seven Emotions Curse planted a seed in her heart. It might be permanent, or it might disappear in the future, she didn’t know.
Fortunately, the inner demons did not affect her.
When those emotions sprouted in her heart, if she was affected and took action, she wouldn't know when she would wake up.
But it was precisely because she restrained herself and did nothing that she defeated her inner demons.
The battle with the inner demon is often not a real battle, but a battle that is truly unaffected by it in order to win.
For example, at this time, Lin Fenghe was in what he considered to be the most terrifying scene in the world.
He didn't know why, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself sleeping in the bedroom of Bagua City, as if he couldn't remember what happened before. And when he turned around, he saw a large group of people surrounding his bed.
The smiling mother was pointing at herself, "This child has been to Zhuxie Division in the past two years. He has less and less time to go home. He can only come back for a few days during the Chinese New Year. Everyone wants to see him. , just take a closer look now, don't worry about whether he sleeps or not."
Lin Fenghe tensed up, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he said in a leisurely voice: "Whoever wakes up first from a big dream, I will do it in my life. Self-knowledge..."
Pa.
Mother slapped him in the face, "This kid, please speak up."
"Mother..." Lin Fenghe's face turned full of horror.
A group of aunts and uncles gathered around the bed and greeted him warmly, "Fenghe, how are you staying in Longyuan City? Are you used to it?"
"Zhuxiesi is doing things. Are you tired? You have to endure it, build a good relationship with your colleagues, and become an official after a few years."
"Is there any girl you like? I have a niece who is gentle and virtuous..."
"..."
Amidst all the talk, my mother saw that he didn't speak, so she scolded him again, "Why are you kid like this? ? Be generous with the elders..."
"Help, help." Lin Fenghe kept retreating and shrank to the corner of the bed, shouting crazily in his heart: "Don't come over here -"...
Wait for Lin Fenghe to wake up When we arrived, it was almost dark, and everyone else had gone out to have a meal before coming back.
There was a bit of dullness in his expression. It was hard to tell whether he had defeated his inner demons or was numb under the ravages of his inner demons.
"Okay." Feng Daoren yawned, "Since everyone is awake, let's settle the final number of jade exquisites."
The first one to wake up was Liang Yue. After all, he had not entered the illusion at all.
The second one is Wen Yifan. She defeated her inner demon very quickly. The Supreme Immortal Body still has a great advantage in this regard.
The third, fourth and fifth were actually Monk Yuansheng, Yan Shenbing and Wu Handing. Each of these three warriors were freed from their inner demons very quickly. If Monk Yuansheng is still a Buddhist disciple who has such attainments, then the other two are purely because of their simple minds.
According to Feng Daoren, "Under normal circumstances, the simpler the brain, the faster you can pass this level."
As for Shang Yunhai, Chen Xuanjiu and Qi Yingwu, the three Qi refiners The soldiers were all lined up behind them.
There is no doubt that Lin Fenghe is the last one.
According to the previously announced rules, the first place will receive two jade exquisite stones, the second to fifth place will receive one, and the following four will receive none.
Liang Yue now has five jade exquisite stones, followed by Wen Yifan with three, Shang Yunhai with three, Chen Xuanjiu with two, Yan Shenbing with two, Yuansheng Monk with two, and Wu Handing Two, equal to one.
Lin Fenghe... is still zero.
The three disciples of Xuanmen are far ahead, especially Liang Yue, who stands out. But on average after including Lin Fenghe, there may not be that much.
The large army generally has two or three weapons, and the gap between everyone is not very big.
Liang Yue did not dare to be proud at all. After all, he had found a way to use tricks in these trials. If he was a little careless and failed in one or two trials, his lead would be gone.
After putting the jade exquisites in the bottles for everyone, Zen Master Yun still consoled everyone: "Those who are in the lead should not be complacent, the gap between everyone is not big now. Those who are lagging behind should not be impatient, just work hard in the next trial. "
Feng Taoist looked at Lin Fenghe and said, "But you still have to be anxious."
"Heh." Lin Fenghe smiled crookedly, "I will do it again next time. Don’t lose and qualify..."
Then he dodged away from the hand that tried to gag him, and floated away with a hearty laugh, flying to an unknown wall.
He is obviously zero, why can he pretend like this?
Everyone looked at his back and couldn't help but have the same doubts in their minds.
After the settlement was completed, it was completely dark. Everyone returned to their residences. On the way back to the courtyard, they each looked at each other and nodded to each other.
"According to the original plan?" Qi Yingwu asked softly.
"Yeah." Wen Yifan nodded.
Liang Yue also whispered: "Lin Fenghe should have already started. He will not let up on important matters."
"I have also prepared the formation materials." Qi Ying Way of things.
"I have no problem." Wu Handing nodded.
Everyone checked with each other and returned to their respective courtyards with a mysterious smile.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching them. But in such a quiet night, it seems that there is no difference at all.
......
The first time Liang Yue returned to his room, he instantly activated the fairy vine, blurred through the wall, and rushed towards the depths of Jilei Temple.
It turns out that just last night, they had already determined their plan to counterattack the Bronze Men.
He drew a detailed and complete topographic map based on the description of Monk Yuansheng, and found that there was a long distance between the courtyard where they lived and the Vajra Altar at the entrance of the back mountain. He had to cross the entire front mountain. .
In other words, if something happens to each other, it will be too late to rescue them quickly.
The indestructible formation eye of the Bronze Men is in the Vajra Altar, where is the source of their golden light that protects the body.
Liang Yue immediately thought of a classic tactic, changing homes.
He told everyone his thoughts.
"I have a plan." He said first, "We will send a few people to lurk around the Vajra Altar without them noticing. Once the bronze men set off, we will calculate the time and wait until they attack us. In the courtyard, we attacked the Vajra Altar and destroyed the formation.”
"Those who fight in the courtyard should be able to win this way."
"This plan is feasible, but the problem is that there must be someone outside watching us." Yan Shenbing said: "How can we bypass their sight? "
"You have seen it before, I have the magical power of invisibility." Liang Yue said: "It should be possible."
"It shouldn't be possible if you are alone." Lin Fenghe also said: " My Five Elements Escape Technique should also be able to do it."
"I can use the Qiankun Formation to send someone far away. I want to preside over the formation, so I can't do it myself," Qi Yingwu said immediately.
"I'll do it." Wu Handing volunteered.
He had been beaten by Tongren before, not to mention that his elder brother Yan Shenbing had been beaten like that, so he also had the desire to take revenge.
“But there is another question.” Qi Yingwu said: “The time when the bronze men attack is irregular. How do we judge the time?”
“For such irregular things , the most effective way is to squat." Liang Yue said: "After we finish practicing tomorrow, we will set out to ambush outside the Vajra Altar. Whenever they go out, we will take action. Anyway, we have training content during the day, and they will attack tomorrow. If so, it must be at night."
"Then it will be hard on you three," Yan Shenbing said as he looked at them.
"There are few people here. Once a fight breaks out, they will be discovered soon. You must resist." Liang Yue said.
After some careful deployment, they finalized the tactical plan for this time of changing homes.
As soon as the trial was over and they returned to the courtyard, they started taking action.
Liang Yue slipped out in a virtual state. Lin Fenghe's Five Elements Escape Technique was elusive. Moreover, he did not often appear in front of everyone. His companions could not find him, let alone the monks monitoring the courtyard. .
Wu Handing came to Qi Yingwu's room and was sent to a place far away from the courtyard using the Qiankun formation he had arranged. The three of them came to the outside of the Vajra Altar together from different directions.
There is a huge Buddhist hall in the front, and a courtyard whose inside is not visible behind it, which should be the location of the Vajra Altar.
Liang Yue hid quietly behind the rocks outside the Buddhist temple, waited for the bronze figure inside to come out, and immediately sneaked in. Although he didn't see where his two companions were, he believed that they would be fine.
The waiting time was not long. After half the night, the sound of neat footsteps suddenly came from the Buddhist temple. A group of monks with golden paint patterns on their bodies ran out in formation, moving very fast!
Sure enough, this is their nest.
The Bronze Man is out!
Good morning.
