Fairy cage

An inexplicable voice sounded, causing an uproar above the Immortal Urn Altar. Everyone was talking to each other. Even the Taoist disciples who had no idea what the "survival assessment" was about immediately understood it, and their expressions changed drastically.

More than half of the people had a look of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.

And immediately, a Taoist hurriedly packed up his things and shouted to the person next to him: "Give way, give way! Let me pass by."

The direction they set out for was none other than the Immortal Urn Altar.

The Taoist Palace's assessment is not mandatory only if you sign up. You can also skip the exam directly. It's just that any Taoist has only three chances to miss the exam in his life. Regardless of any reason, if he fails to register three times, he will miss the Taoist palace.

The first batch of Taoist priests to leave were very obvious among the people who applied for the exam.

And the voice that rang in everyone's minds stopped reciting after reciting it three times, as if it was waiting for the unsteady Taoist priest on the altar to retreat.

Yu Lie fell among them and noticed with sharp eyes that the first batch of people who retreated were basically older, especially all the Taoists who had previously shouted for business at the altar.

It was obvious that this group of people came to participate in the Dao Palace assessment without much confidence at all. Now when they heard that the assessment was difficult, they all retreated.

Under the influence of this group of Taoists, the faces of the young Taoists on the altar were very surprised, and some of the timid ones also retreated. The number of Taoists on the entire altar disappeared by 30% in an instant!

The altar, which was still a bit crowded, suddenly became more relaxed, allowing everyone to breathe.

It's just that no one is in the mood to care about this right now. When the people who were supposed to leave had almost left, the noisy scene became a little calmer. A Taoist at the scene calmed down and shouted:

"I dare to ask the palace, which foreign world is this experience in?"

"Please also ask the Dao Palace to inform us of the training location!"

Many Taoists fell into the crowd, croaking like roosters.

The reason for this is also because in the entire Xianlu altar, except for the Taoists they referred to, there are no other Taoists present, and no one can ask.

The ghosts and gods used to maintain order outside the altar were just like stone puppets, standing frozen with their eyes closed, hanging far outside the altar.

The voices at the scene were getting louder and louder, and Yu Lie himself was curious about the foreign world he was going to for this round of assessment.

If the chosen foreign world is really dangerous, he would rather give up this opportunity to take the test and save his life.

"Sister-in-law is right. Although the assessment is important, life is more important. Even with the Dao Palace's signature guarantee, if something goes wrong during the assessment, there is no way to regret it."

Yu Lie calmly sorted it out in his mind: "Besides, even if the loss rate of an assessment is not high, it is controlled below 10%. But people can survive, but it does not mean that there will be no sequelae."

This is something Yu Lie gradually realized and became extremely suspicious of after being reminded by his sister-in-law Luo Sen.

It should be noted that before becoming a sixth-grade Taoist priest, neither the body nor the soul of the Taoist can be damaged easily. Even though the Immortal Way is weird and has many miraculous arts, if the limbs are congenitally damaged, it will be difficult to repair, which will add a lot of twists and turns to the path.

The female Taoist Miaomu is a typical example.

The other party just broke an arm, which destroyed her potential. She fell from a very talented person to an ordinary Taoist disciple, forcing her to change her temperament and have to restrain her temper and work hard.

The voices of the Taoists became louder, and at the end, the Taoists present began to repeat in unison:

"Respectfully request the Taoist Palace to inform you of the location of the assessment!"

The sound was buzzing and deafening.

Even faintly, Yu Lie and others heard distant noises coming from other directions during the interval of reciting, as if someone somewhere was shouting loudly together again.

This situation is possible. Although Daocheng is large, the inner city is not large, and the area where Daogong Mountain Gate is located is even smaller. In addition, there are tens of thousands of Taoists on each altar, all of whom have magical powers. If they repeat the chant in unison, the sound can ring half of the inner city.

The recitation sounded loudly, and the fairy urn, which was as golden as the sun, landed on everyone's heads, swaying gently, as if an invisible big hand was moving it.

At this time, finally another voice sounded in everyone's mind:

"Imperative: Anyone who passes this test, regardless of heel or leg, can enter the Taoist Palace."

The sound of this order caused many people's faces to change slightly, with different expressions.

Everyone waited for another sound to be heard from the immortal jar, but the immortal jar returned to its still state again, stopped moving, and did not answer anyone's questions.

The quiet crowd on the altar immediately began to sway again, and another group of Taoists hurriedly walked to the bottom of the altar as if their soles were oiled.

Although the second voice did not answer everyone's words directly, it also proved from the side that the next assessment location would not be a good place, it must be extremely dangerous.

For example, next to Yu Lie, among the fat and thin father and son, the fat father murmured:

"Although the Dao Palace assessment does not pay attention to the following on the surface, in fact, it pays special attention to it. The Dao City aborigines who enter the Dao Palace are far better than the non-Dao City aborigines... Now the Dao Palace directly speaks, as long as they pass You can pass the test. From this point of view, this test must not be easy!"

The other party spoke, looking at the surrounding Taoists who were retreating to the altar, with a look of hesitation on their faces, and whispered: "If you keep the green hills here, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Why don't we retreat too, and we will gain experience this year."

But this man's son had a look of perseverance on his face: "Dad! In this case, this assessment is exactly the opportunity I have been waiting for. As long as I pass the test, I can enter the palace!"

As he spoke, the fat man saw that his son was so determined. Although the hesitation on his face was still there, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Well, since my son insists, dad will accompany you. You and I, father and son, are in the same place. Wheel is also rare, and dad happened to protect you a little during the assessment."

Except for the father and son who insisted on staying to take part in the assessment, Yu Lie was surrounded by friends who had been talking warmly but suddenly parted ways, and men and women who had seemed to be in love with each other but suddenly became strangers to each other.

Under such critical choices, everyone has different choices whether to stay or go.

Yu Lie was among them, looking at the passing crowd of people. He hesitated on his face, but after shaking his body, he finally stood still and did not get off the Immortal Urn Altar.

This year is the year when he is about to turn eighteen. If he misses this opportunity, it will be more difficult to enter the Taoist Palace every other year in the future.

Moreover, he has retreated this year. Even if he is qualified this year, he may increase the risk of being rejected by that palace.

This was not something that Yu Lie was worried about blindly, but something that his sister-in-law Lawson mentioned emphatically in her notes. The other party told Yu Lie that even if he was hopeless in the assessment, he must still maintain his Taoist heart and not be unscrupulous, let alone do insidious and harmful actions openly.

Of course, another reason why Yu Lie chose to stay where he was was that after many Taoists on the altar left, half of the Taoists were still standing on the altar and did not leave.

Yu Lie glanced around and judged in his heart:

"There are nearly ten thousand people at the altar here alone. Even if the assessment is dangerous, if these many people end up in a foreign land, the Taoist Palace will certainly provide certain protection. I will follow the trend and win one!"

Yu Lie was thinking so optimistically, but some Taoists at the scene didn't think so.

Many Taoist priests who had not originally planned to step down saw that most of the people who were referring to him had left in a hurry after just two sentences, and they had no choice but to panic and take steps forward.

The immortal talisman hanging high above the altar remains motionless as it comes and goes. It is like an indifferent eye, quietly watching everyone.

When the time reached three quarters to noon, a chuckle suddenly sounded from above the altar:

"Haha, very good! There are still nearly half of the people left here, so it's easy for me to do business."

This chuckle was different from the indistinguishable male and female voice just now. It was filled with a joking and human touch.

The other party also shouted: "It's three quarters past noon. If you still want to go down, get out quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to regret it later."

When these words were heard, several Taoists who were milling around the altar heard them and jumped down.

The Taoists who chose to stay on the altar followed the sound and found that at some point, a Taoist riding a "white crane" appeared above everyone, flying around the immortal urn.

The "white crane" had wide wings and flew around, making a sharp chirping sound. It had a mouth of fine teeth, which made Yu Lie vaguely feel familiar.

Taoist Heshang is wearing a moon-white Taoist robe. His face is like a child's, with pale hair and cinnabar mouth.

He held a white jade Ruyi in his hand and called out: "Pindao White Goose, fellow Taoists, please follow Pindao and take you to take part in the assessment!"

The cry rang out, and the Taoists present heard it and rushed to raise their hands: "See the Taoist Master!"

"I've met the Taoist priest!"

Among them, Yu Lie, who had some knowledge, was stunned for a moment after hearing the words "White Goose". Looking at the "White Crane" the other party was riding, Digu thought: "Is this spiritual bird a goose and not a crane? "

Then they realized that the person who came was a sixth-grade Taoist priest!

Because according to the regulations of the Taoist court, only sixth-grade Taoist priests can have a real Taoist title and be named with the word "子".

For those below the sixth grade, even if they have a Taoist name with a serious name, it is just a nickname.

The white goose appeared, and strong winds suddenly blew around the Xianlu Altar, making the nearly 10,000 Taoist disciples feel like they were floating under their feet, as if they were about to rise with the wind.

The other party was riding a goose like a crane, swinging his sleeves and robes, laughing loudly: "Go, go!"

Such a scene made everyone, including Yu Lie, think that the other party was going to use great magic, causing nearly ten thousand people at the scene to stand up and follow the wind into the so-called assessment entrance.

Many people yearn for it: "A sixth-grade Taoist priest has such great magical power!"

"I must be this Taoist priest."

But the next moment, the goose the other party was riding opened its mouth, and its figure grew in size in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, it was as big as a mansion. It was so fat and huge that it covered the sky and blocked out the sun at noon. Blocked tightly.

The shadow was suppressed, and what shocked everyone even more was that the giant goose lowered its long and thick neck, continued to open its mouth, and the throat inside was like an abyss, making a whirring sound.

"What does this mean?!" The Taoist disciples, who were already sloppy in their steps, were surprised.

Many people staggered, and suddenly they flew straight into the giant goose's mouth like they were falling upside down.

The wind is howling!

The giant goose breathed in and swallowed the people on the altar.

In just one breath, hundreds of Taoists flew into the mouth of the giant goose at a very fast speed, but the opponent's belly did not bulge at all.

The expressions of those Taoists who were originally excited suddenly changed, and they were both shocked and suspicious.

Even a Taoist disciple like Yu Lie, who had seen big scenes, had hesitation in his eyes, looking at the throat of the giant goose, wondering whether he should go in or not.

But they had no choice. After thousands of people were sucked in, the white goose standing on the goose's head knocked the giant goose's head with the white jade Ruyi in his hand and shouted:

"Slow down, slow down."

Immediately, the giant goose no longer just took in and out of breath, but instead grabbed the goose's head and bit towards everyone with its head flashing. Perhaps the strength of the giant goose was not good enough and it bit someone. There were also screams from Taoists at the scene.

Yu Lie and others did not dare to hesitate and quickly threw themselves into the mouth of the giant goose.

So a few breaths later, there was no one left on the altar where there were nearly ten thousand people. There were only debris on the ground and a ferocious white goose as huge as a mansion.

The Taoist on the goose blew lightly towards the altar, cleared the altar, and then knocked on the head of the white goose.

Bah, bah!

The crane chirped again, from loud to quiet.

The giant goose returned to the size of an ox and horse. It held the Taoist and circled in mid-air.

I saw the immortal basket suspended in mid-air shaking again, and a portal appeared faintly in it.

The Taoist priest riding a white goose circled and immediately flew into it. The huge Immortal Urn altar was now empty, with no one left.

Only those Taoist disciples who chose to board the altar looked up at the bottom of the altar with surprised expressions. They wondered what happened on the stage. Did they avoid it or miss it?

After Yu Lie and others entered the belly of the giant goose, they suddenly felt that their bodies were upside down and swaying left and right. There were screams, screams, and greetings to friends, which was a mess.

Among them, Yu Lie didn't wait for himself to stand firm, and he quickly blessed himself with another talisman. He also held the Sun Gold Talisman that his sister-in-law gave him tightly in his hands.

Just when they passed the mouth of the giant goose, Yu Lie was unlucky and passed between the sharp teeth of the giant goose.

Fortunately, he had noticed something was wrong before and had cast a protective charm on his body. In addition, his physical body was also strong, otherwise he might have been like those screaming Taoists, and his intestines were cut directly by the sharp teeth of the giant goose. His stomach was broken and his limbs were broken.

In the darkness, it was pitch black, and there seemed to be a strange mist shrouding it.

The Taoists continued to roll and spin in the belly of the giant goose, and their consciousness began to blur, unaware of the passage of time.

But slowly, a little bit of golden light, like fireflies or stars, lit up in the darkness. It was so dense that even the strange fog couldn't suppress it.

This light ignited from the foreheads of nearly ten thousand Taoists.

The Taoist rituals in everyone's spiritual platform emerge on their own, with dragon energy flowing in and out, connecting with each other.

Only one line of writing appeared in everyone's Taoist scriptures:

Edict!

To the west of the big boundary, there is Mustard Seed Yan. Its boundary is small and drifts in. Taoists are not allowed to enter.

There are beasts in the world that eat human souls, take incense and incense, call themselves Dragon Court, slander immortals and destroy Taoism.

Immortals are hereby sent down to support the road, and mountains and temples are cut down to rectify the Qingming Festival.
