Catalog of Destruction

Shi Xuan didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "Shi's bones are above average, but his talent and understanding are both above average."

In fact, for young monks like Shi Xuan, the questions asked are a little less. If they are older, they will also ask at what age they started practicing, so as not to miss those who started practicing as adults but have made rapid progress.

Zhou Dielan opened her mouth and screamed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth, and after a moment she said, "I didn't expect that Brother Shi, you are good at two things, but Sister Yu is only good at everything, both in talent and understanding. "

"Haha, in general, Miss Yu is better than Shi. I wonder how you are, Miss Die Lan?" After all, they were familiar monks, so Shi Xuan also asked her with concern.

Zhou Dielan's face turned red: "I'm good in all three categories, but I can't compare to you."

"That's right, Butterfly's results rank among the top among monks in the Qi-nourishing stage. But I didn't expect that the Penglai sect's method of recruiting disciples would be so simple. I thought I would have to fight in the ring a few times." Yu Ruoshui was half-convinced. He said happily, half encouragingly.

However, Shi Xuan heard Ming Qingyue mention: "The higher level, the monks below it cannot be beaten no matter how powerful it is. The Penglai sect is only looking for monks who can pass on the Taoism and can cultivate to the golden elixir stage, not those who can beat them." Monk, why bother to use the form of martial arts competition in the ring? It is better to test your perseverance and character. Besides, after entering the sect, you will still be guided on your actual combat ability. There is also a fighting competition every five years, which can allow disciples to practice their fighting skills and martial arts skills. , so as not to suffer a loss when traveling around the world."

"I didn't expect you, fellow Daoist Shi, to know so much. You are really well-informed. However, I have a negative example of the fact that realm is more important than actual combat. A senior monk I admire very much, "Sword Old Man", has unparalleled sword energy. It is said that after watching the tide for a hundred years at the seaside, he understood the boundless sword energy and the thunderous sound of sword energy. At the state of the divine soul stage, he surpassed the level and killed a golden elixir master. Although it was a low-grade golden elixir, it was a rare feat in ten thousand years. ." Speaking of Old Man Jian, Yu Ruoshui spoke freely.

"Haha, you also said that it is a feat that is rare in ten thousand years. We can imagine how difficult it is to cross the level challenge. Of course, except for those who have good magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and even magic weapons. I just didn't expect you, Miss Yu, to do it. I am very interested in learning swordsmanship." Shi Xuan had never heard of this before. After all, he was just a rookie in the world of cultivation.

Yu Ruoshui blushed for a rare moment: "If I can become a true disciple of the Penglai Sect, I will definitely choose the true disciple of the Sword Refining Box and become a figure like Yongxiang of the Wuhui Sword."

While talking, the test had been completed. Xie Fangwei listened to the reports from the nine inner disciples and then reported the results to Mo Yuan. After Mo Yuan made his decision, Xie Fangwei said to the thousands of monks: "Anyone who is below average in terms of talent, ability, and understanding, please go back to the Bamboo Tower."

Below the middle level, there are three levels: middle, lower, lower, and lower. As soon as these words came out, countless monks lamented, but they did not dare to make trouble. Mo Yuan could take care of all the monks here with one hand, so they could only hang their heads in despair. He walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

By the time these monks had finished leaving, there were only about 700 or 800 people left in the square. Standing in such a large square, it looked extremely sparse. As a result, Shi Xuan looked around and easily saw Ming Qingyue, who had set off a few days in advance. , she happened to be standing with several female monks.

Seeing Shi Xuan's look, Ming Qingyue smiled and nodded in response, and Shi Xuan also smiled in greeting.

Seeing that the other monks had left, Xie Fangwei stood up and said: "Monks, please go up to this cloud. Below is the question of your mind." After saying that, he pointed with his hand, and a big white cloud floated on the ground, almost half of it. Square size. "

Seven or eight hundred monks stood on the cloud. This cloud seemed more than enough. You can imagine how big it was. Xie Fangwei pointed again, and the white clouds slowly floated up and flew towards the foot of the mountain.

When you reach the foot of the mountain, you will see a straight road, from the foot of the mountain to the peak. There are rocks in the middle, rocks in the rocks, and there is no road in the sky.

"There are no spells or magic weapons on this road to ask the mind. Everyone, please." The white clouds slowly dissipated on the ground, and Xie Fangwei stood at the intersection and said to the many monks.

Apart from the difficulty of building such a road, the road looks like an ordinary road, nothing out of the ordinary. The monks looked at each other for a few times, and finally someone stepped up.

It wasn't until Shi Xuan walked on this road that he realized what was different about it. It was surrounded by white mist and he could only see a little bit far away. This was something that couldn't be seen outside.

Originally, Shi Xuan walked into the road of inquiry with Zhou Dielan and Yu Ruoshui, but now he couldn't see the others and could only walk forward slowly by himself.

After walking forward for a while, I gradually felt restrained. Every step I took required more energy. Moreover, the surroundings were so quiet that I couldn't even hear my own footsteps. It was as if I was locked in an absolutely silent room. place.

Shi Xuan wanted to make a sound, but when he spoke, he couldn't even hear him. In this strange silence, Shi Xuan became more and more restrained as he walked, and various emotions in his heart also fermented in this silence.

Gradually, Shi Xuan found that he couldn't even see the mist, and was surrounded by a deserted night. He couldn't see, hear, or speak. He couldn't even feel the skin on his body when he pinched it. It felt as if he was not in this world at all.

In this hair-raising feeling, Shi Xuan only felt that anxiety, tension, anger, frustration, sadness, pain and other emotions were getting stronger and stronger. He wanted to yell, but unfortunately he also understood that even if he yelled, he would not listen. I couldn't even feel my mouth moving. I followed my instinct and walked forward with heavy steps.

Fortunately, Shi Xuan remembered that this was a test, so he kept his spiritual intelligence intact, and used the supreme method of restraining thoughts in "Baolu" to control his emotions. This method is not a magic method, but a means of visualization. It is no different from people usually taking deep breaths to calm their emotions, so it is not impossible to use it.

Maintaining his emotional stability, Shi Xuan struggled to move forward as the restraints became heavier and heavier. In the end, he was almost lying on the ground under the restraints, but Shi Xuan still did not stop moving forward.

Finally, his eyes lit up, and Shi Xuan found himself standing on the road to ask the heart he had just seen. There was no darkness, no fog, and he was only a short distance away from the mountain peak.

Shi Xuan looked around and saw Ming Qingyue stopped not far in front with a quiet expression. He thought he had come out of the hallucination. Yu Ruoshui, Zhou Dielan and others were still walking slowly behind him, but their eyes were empty and their faces were blank. All kinds of uneasy emotions surfaced, and he looked like he was going crazy.

Because they were worried that the rules would not allow it, when they were considering whether to help them, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan had already walked to the place where Shi Xuan was standing just now. Their expressions suddenly became vivid, and they looked around. It seemed that they had walked to the place in the hallucination. This line will wake you up.

"Brother Shi, I almost went crazy just now." Zhou Dielan touched her chest and said fearfully. Yu Ruoshui also nodded frequently.

"I think if you can get out of this illusion, you must have a good character. Look at how many monks behind you slumped on the spot and then disappeared." Shi Xuan pointed at the monks on the road behind him and said.

Because they were ready to recover their strength and continue walking upward, the monks who came out of the hallucination stopped where they were. However, there are many monks who have exhausted their energy in hallucinations and can no longer move forward once they stop. Most of them are monks in the Qi nourishing stage, including Zhou Dielan.

At this time, Xie Fangwei's voice came: "There is still a quarter of an hour. If you can't reach the peak, please go back."

Those monks who could no longer move were paralyzed on the ground in despair. Shi Xuan suddenly noticed that Meng Yuqian, a dandy boy, was acting kind-hearted and took the initiative to help the monks who were paralyzed on the ground. He immediately understood that the Penglai sect still liked it. Being able to be friendly to fellow monks, after all, no one wants to accept a disciple who is like a wolf with white eyes. It’s just that the family members know this but refuse to spread it, for fear of taking a lot of advantage.

Looking at Ming Qingyue, she was also helping a limp female monk. Seeing Shi Xuan coming and going, she blinked three times, and her meaning was self-evident.

Seeing that Yu Ruoshui had already helped Zhou Dielan, Shi Xuan knew that she meant it sincerely and stopped reminding her. He found a male monk to help him towards the mountain peak.

In the illusion, the physical strength of the monks in the Qi-nourishing stage is basically exhausted, while the monks in the out-of-body stage can still manage to hold on. Only those who have been tempered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the entrainment period will not see any abnormalities, but Shi Xuan estimates that the difficulty and requirements of the three should be different.

Shi Xuan was still holding on to a monk while he was struggling to hold on. He walked even slower. Fortunately, he was not far from the peak. Finally, with a little time left, he stepped onto the top of the peak, and then he could barely stand. I couldn't take a step forward.

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Fangwei used a magic technique to move the monk in the nourishing stage who was limp not far from the peak to the top of the peak, while the monk in the out-of-body stage moved to the top of the mountain without knowing where he had moved it. Just like those monks who can't help themselves.

"If a monk in the Qi-nourishing stage can get out of the hallucination, his character and perseverance will be counted, and those who can walk up on his own will be counted." Xie Fangwei only explained the different standards for monks in the Qi-nourishing stage, but did not mention a word about the out-of-body stage and the Qi-entraining stage.

There are now less than two hundred monks left on the mountain peak, which does not include the Qi-entraining monks who participated in the outer deacon test, nor does it include children under the age of twelve. They are all different tests.

While these monks were resting, in another hidden place on the top of the mountain, Meng Yuchang was asking an inner disciple who was previously responsible for the test: "Junior brother Qin, how is my brother?"

Junior Brother Qin tried his best to put on a good face and said: "Senior Brother Meng, your brother is only ranked twenty-third in the out-of-body stage. I'm afraid there is no hope this time. You use elixirs to destroy his bones." The changes were so good. Judging from his cultivation and age, his talent and understanding can only be above average. This is easy to detect and cannot be faked. "

Meng Yuchang said with a normal expression: "What does hopelessness mean? Isn't there an interrogation about one's financial background later? Just find an excuse to demote a few people."

"But, Senior Brother Meng, most of the people in front of him are well-established monks in the Three Islands Sea Area. If they are casually demoted, Senior Uncle Mo will be watching!" Junior Brother Qin does not dare to take this risk.

"There are some monks who are not from the Three Islands Sea, aren't they?" Meng Yuchang began to smile.

"But among them there must be other monks who have great origins in the sea area and are innocent and not afraid of investigation. It would be too obvious if they were all demoted!" Junior Brother Qin still argued with a grimace.

Meng Yuchang's smile was as warm as the spring breeze: "There are always a few of them, Junior Brother Qin. If this happens, I will ask Grandpa Zu to accept you as his disciple."

Junior Brother Qin hesitated for a long time before he said, "Okay. I'll try my best."
