Fortune Teller

"How difficult is it to pry into the mysteries of living beings before you reach the realm of the Venerable?" Lan Chonghe shook his head slightly, "It would be good to have two or three of these people."

Gengyang nodded slightly.

Even Gu Xiuyun and Gu Yue slowly understood the mysteries of life under the guidance of Taoist books, let alone others.

In the entire Black Lock Mountain, a total of thirty-four people have realized the changes in life, and thirty-two of them are Venerables and True Venerables... only two of them stay under the Venerables.

One is a strict road, and the other is abandonment that has been reincarnated dozens of times.

In terms of status, Shen Qi is not low in the divine sect, but there are Tu Mang, Yan Zhan, Bing Xi, Ji Wenshan and other people in front of him who have made great contributions to the divine sect. Naturally, the blood of demons and gods and the relics of Zen Buddhism are not his turn. .

Without these cultivation treasures, relying solely on Taoist books and classics, the hope of becoming a venerable person is slim. Therefore, for millions of years, he has been stuck in the eighth or ninth level, constantly reincarnated, and has never been able to become a venerable person.

"I didn't expect that Shen Qi also has the talent to understand the mysteries of living beings. With his qualifications and contributions, he can get a quota." Yan Sushi said.

"Then there is only the last one left," Geng Yang looked around, "Among the venerables and true sages present, Ji Wenshan, Mo Shu, and Yuan Qing have the deepest understanding of the mysteries of life, and are also the most likely to step into the seventh rank. Just choose from the three of them!”

"Yuan Qing is a newly promoted venerable, and his actions are quite ruthless, which is inappropriate." Lan Chonghe shook his head.

Acting harshly often means being selfish.

Yuan Qing's ability to become a Venerable by his own strength is indeed commendable, but the three quotas are too precious and cannot be wasted on a practitioner of unknown origin.

No one knows Yuan Qing’s past life.

Yan Sushi only understood the mystery of the seventh level of cause and effect, not the rules of cause and effect. It was impossible to see the past life of an honorable person without any involvement, so no one knew whether Yuan Qing had become an honorable person in two lifetimes.

"Mo Shu or Ji Wenshan, which one do you think has more potential?" Geng Yang continued.

"Ji Wenshan is my junior brother. I naturally hope that he can get a quota, but he is practicing killing..." Lan Chonghe frowned, "The killing system has always been called the devil's way by the world, and he must stick to the right path, his character and the rules. Conflict, I’m afraid I won’t be able to understand the rules of killing for the rest of my life.”

"There is indeed a problem with Ji Wenshan's road."

Yan Sushi nodded slightly, "Several reincarnations have allowed him to go through a lot of training. His Taoist heart has been tough enough, and he is mainly based on the simplest murderous rules. Logically speaking, he should have understood the mysteries of seventh-grade creatures, but he has been It’s hard to make any progress if you stay at the peak of the sixth level.”

Several people looked at each other and made a decision.

…

Around Black Suo Mountain, hundreds of millions of disciples of the God's Cult looked at the ancient mirror above their heads from afar, whispering from time to time.

"Who do you think is most likely to get three spots?"

"Yan Luo has a greater hope. According to what the first priest said, the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to understand the rules of living beings. The venerables have all more or less understood the rules of living beings, so the high priests pay more attention to it. Disciples below the Venerable level, with the lowest cultivation level, should have the greatest chance of being selected."

"But he is not a core disciple after all. Didn't the first priest also say that in addition to talent and understanding, qualifications and contributions are also important."

In the crowd, the female cultivator with phoenix eyes and the middle-aged man with white beard looked at each other with apprehension, listening to the discussions of fellow disciples around them while observing the scene deep in the mirror.

The white-bearded middle-aged man is only in the early stage of the true artistic conception, and he is also an outer disciple. His vision is far inferior to that of his peers. He cannot tell who is good and who is bad at all. He can only rely on the comments of others to distinguish.

"Master, can Junior Brother Yan really get a quota?" Fengmu female cultivator couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know either," the white-bearded middle-aged man shook his head slightly, "What the high priest values ​​​​is the legendary rules of living beings. In this regard, there is no difference between you and me, so how can we see the difference??"

As he spoke, the figures in the mirror changed rapidly.

The flow rate in Black Suo Mountain is a thousand times faster at all times. One day outside is like a thousand days in the mountain. In just a few months, many disciples of the God's Cult have broken through the realm barriers.

half year later.

A surge of divine power came down from the top of the mountain, expelling 99% of the 100,000 disciples, leaving only a hundred or so. At the same time, the speed of time surged again, from a thousand times to ten thousand times.

The space barrier at the edge of the mountain is completely distorted, forming an unbreakable space-time barrier.

The disciples of the Divine Cult who were blasted out of Black Lock Mountain by divine power looked around blankly, and realized in an instant that they had been eliminated.

"It shouldn't be," a ninth-level peak person shook his head vigorously, "I tried my best to understand the mystery of time in the shortest possible time, how could I not be among the top 100?"

"Uncle Jian, what the high priest tests is not the rules of matter, but the rules of living beings." The disciple of the God's Cult beside him quickly explained.

"What are the rules of living beings?" The ninth-grade peak person looked confused.

The disciples around him started to explain, and after a moment, he suddenly realized it, with helplessness on his face.

It turns out that time and space Taoism is just a cover, and the real mystery is the rules of life under the Taoism. Without enough talent, it is difficult to discover those special features.

"That's right. According to Taoist Xi Ming's description, after becoming a god and demon, the realm of Taoism will advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, until it reaches the level of the World Master. Material rules are meaningless, and the high priests will naturally not value them, so how can they use them as a rule? test?"

The eliminated disciples of the cult looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.

The authorities are confused, but the bystanders know clearly. During the test, they would never have imagined this.

"Among more than a hundred people, there are only two who have not reached the Venerable realm. One is Yan Luo and the other is the reincarnation of Venerable Shen. It seems that these two have great hope of obtaining the quota."

"I don't think so. No matter how talented they are, they are not venerables after all, and their understanding of the rules of living beings is very shallow. Instead of choosing them, it is better to choose Ji Wenshan, Mo Shu, Yuan Qing and others. Those few people exude mysterious and mysterious aura fluctuations. , obviously also has some understanding of the rules of life."

"No, no, no, this is an opportunity between gods and demons. A small gap is nothing. The competition is about the progress of millions or even tens of millions of years in the future. Otherwise, the high priests will not choose from ordinary disciples."

After the second round of elimination, the situation suddenly became clear. Everyone had their own opinions and their words became more confident. Especially those eliminated venerables and those at the top of the ninth rank were eloquent, talking freely, and occasionally saying a few penetrating words.

"It turns out that Junior Brother Yan has comprehended the rules of cause and effect," the female cultivator with Feng Eyes trembled slightly, "I have long heard from others that the first priest is in charge of cause and effect, and has magical powers that reach the heavens and the earth. I thought it was some kind of secret skill, but it turns out It’s a biological rule.”

"Cause and effect, destiny, life and death... I have heard these words said by others before," the white-bearded middle-aged man sighed in a low voice, "I never thought that I would cultivate a disciple who is good at the mystery of cause and effect."

The white-bearded master and apprentice looked at each other with somewhat excited expressions.

With Yan Luo's talent, even if he does not have three quotas, he will still be valued by the higher-ups of the cult and be given various elixirs and rare treasures. As Yan Luo's fellow disciples, they can't eat meat, so they can still drink some soup.

Time passes slowly.

Unknowingly, a few months have passed. Yan Lu has been cultivating in Black Suo Mountain for nearly three thousand years. Shouyuan has already reached his limit. But strangely, he shows no signs of dying, as if Shouyuan has been quietly dying. It was extended ten times and a hundred times.

call!

The overwhelming divine power filled the air from the top of the mountain, and the space-time barrier quietly collapsed, and one hundred and nine disciples of the divine sect appeared in front of hundreds of millions of fellow disciples.

"The test is over??"

Countless disciples showed curiosity on their faces.

Soon, the first priest and several throne holders will announce the results and determine the three candidates to follow the Black-striped Golden Dolphin.

"Which three people will it be, Ji Wenshan? Yan Luo? Priest of Kanshan? Priest Yuan Qing?"

"There must be Uncle Ji Wenshan. After all, he is the direct disciple of Taoist Xi Ming. He does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. The first priest must take into account the face of the previous high priest."

"I don't think so. Opportunities between gods and demons are so precious. Every quota is crucial. How can it be wasted easily? There is something wrong with Ji Wenshan's practice. Even the eliminated venerables know it. How could the first priest be so obviously biased? help?"

"In my opinion, Priest Shen is the one with the greatest hope. Several venerables have praised him highly. He is also one of the early heroes of the divine religion. He was responsible for the expansion of territory and the spread of scientific and technological civilization. , and has reached the realm of three difficulties, both public and private, he deserves a quota. "

The disciples of the sect talked about it one after another.

At the same time, one hundred and nine selected practitioners opened their eyes and looked towards the sky.

On the top of Black Suo Mountain, several figures stood in the sky, with astonishing fluctuations all over their bodies. Each of them was a Six Difficulties True Master who had practiced to the extreme - Yan Su Shi, Lan Chong He, Geng Yang, Shen Wu, and Black Pattern Golden Dolphin.

"Everyone's performance is amazing, and I am very happy." Yan Sushi stood with her hands behind her hands, overlooking the vast crowd, "Yan Luo and Shen Qi, you two are not venerables, but you can understand the mysteries of life, which shows that you have extraordinary talents. "

"Even the Taoist Taoist Xi Ming and the Moon Priest back then were able to understand the mystery of fate only with the guidance of the Lianshan Scroll. You two... are very good. There are three quotas for you."

After the words fell, Yan Luo and Shen Qi showed excitement and ecstasy on their faces.

After thousands of years of practice, they already knew that they had passed the test and that they were expected to get a spot, but when things came to pass, they still felt an indescribable sense of unreality.

"Sure enough, Taoist Shen and Yan Luo both have a quota. I wonder whose hands the last one will fall into? Ji Wenshan?? Mo Shu? Yuan Qing??"

"It should be Ji Wenshan. In terms of qualifications, contributions, and talent in the rules of life, he is not weak. And with the secret guidance of Taoist Xi Ming, there is still some hope of becoming the Supreme of the Universe."

"We are on the wrong path, what hope is there? No matter how talented Taoist Xi Ming is, he can't change the essence of Taoism!"

During the conversation, Yan Sushi spoke again, "The last spot, Mo Shu, is yours!"
