On the Avenue

The martial arts competitions in the previous joint examinations were always the most eye-catching and the busiest time of the year in Xijing.

In the previous martial arts competitions, there were crowds of people everywhere. People looked up to watch the duel in Xianqiao Fudi, and vendors shuttled among the crowds, selling melon seeds, tea and some snacks. This was also the best time for men and women in Xijing to choose their favorite people.

The candidates who entered Xianqiao Fudi for the competition were often not very old, and many of them were unmarried. They were talents selected by the whole country. If they could find a son-in-law or marry her home, it would be a blessing from their ancestors.

The Ministry of Rites did not prohibit watching, and would even take the initiative to open Xianqiao Fudi to people to watch, to show fairness. "Why are the Monk and Taoist Registrars here too?"

Eunuch Feng looked from afar and recognized the officials of the Monk and Taoist Registrars. He was surprised and said to Chen Tang, "Something is wrong with this year's exam. Someone must have secretly tampered with it!"

Chen Tang also looked a little solemn. Monks and Taoists can also participate in the joint examination, but their examination content is different from that of the candidates. They take the Buddhist and Taoist examinations, so the examinations are held in the Monk and Taoist Registrars. The martial arts examination also allowed monks and Taoists to participate. There has never been a precedent in this regard before!

In the past, each exam was conducted separately!

Eunuch Feng could not help but get angry: "These guys in the cabinet really tampered with it! They changed the direction of the mountains and rivers, and led the Taoists and Buddhists to go to Master Chen!" He laughed in anger. The Five Military Camp was responsible for controlling the Xianqiao Blessed Land. The left and right governors of the Five Military Camp were the twin generals Xia Fanghe and Xia Shouying of the Xia family!

"Fraudulent cheating!" Eunuch Feng patted the wheelchair and said angrily.

Chen Tang's expression remained unchanged as he stared at the Xianqiao Blessed Land, searching for Chen Shi's whereabouts.

The Xianqiao Blessed Land was extremely large, stretching for hundreds of miles, with many mountains, rivers running through the mountains, and the sun, moon, and stars rising and falling in the sky. Among the mountains, there were blessed lands everywhere, and fairy palaces dotted among the mountains, like a fairyland.

It was extremely difficult to find a person in such a vast realm.

Chen Tang looked and saw that many scholars had already encountered in the Xianqiao Blessed Land. The battle broke out and was extremely fierce. In just a few moments, two scholars often died!

He saw two of the scholars. One of them practiced the Small Five-Shape Moving Technique, which was good at moving things, and could even move people's internal organs. The other scholar practiced the Shenxiao Subduing Demon Curse, which could transform into the Zhenwu True Body. The moment the two sides saw each other, the scholar who practiced the Small Five-Shape Moving Technique activated the spell and moved the opponent's liver out of the body from a distance!

Before he could perform the second move, the other scholar had already killed him, and the Zhenwu Fumo real body pierced his opponent's chest with one move. However, although he killed his opponent, he also died because he lost a liver.

Chen Tang looked away and looked for another place. He saw a sneaky scholar who was peeling bark in a valley. He peeled off the bark three feet long and half a foot wide, and then used his pure yang blood to draw a talisman on the tree.

However, the distance was too far, and Chen Tang could not see what the talisman was.

After the scholar drew the talisman, he covered the bark on the tree, making the tree look no different from before. Then he went to other trees and did the same thing, drawing talismans on more than ten trees in a row. After he did all this, he cut a wound on his leg, lay on the ground wailing, pretending to be injured, waiting for other scholars to take the bait.

Soon, a scholar came over after hearing the noise. He didn't come to help out of kindness, but was so excited that he wanted to add a head to his own military exploits.

Unexpectedly, the scholar's ambush on the ground, a group of talismans on the tree exploded. This time, Chen Tang could see clearly that it was a blood lake magic array composed of blood lake talismans, which instantly sucked the "kind-hearted person" dry. "He seems to be practicing the Blood Lake Dafa, he is a talent." Chen Tang thought.

The Blood Lake Dafa is a unique skill in the stele forest outside the True King's Tomb, close to the True King's Tomb, but it belongs to the top method of the magic way and has long been lost. Chen Tang also learned it from Zhu Xiucai. I just don't know how this scholar learned this magic skill. "Most likely it was taught by Chen Shi."

He continued to search for Chen Shi's traces.

But seeing the battles in the Xianqiao blessed land one after another, whenever a scholar encountered it, he would directly fight, without any nonsense. In a short period of time, hundreds of scholars died. Chen Tang finally found Chen Shi and frowned. He saw Chen Shi walking towards the Immortal Bridge.

The word "Immortal Bridge" is in the name of the Immortal Bridge because there is a bridge connecting the underworld and the world of the living. There is a river under the bridge, called the Morning and Evening River. On one side is light and on the other side is darkness, separating the Yin and Yang worlds. Standing on the Immortal Bridge of the Morning and Evening River, you can see the scenes of the Yin and Yang worlds.

This bridge is very important.

The third martial arts test in the imperial examinations, the martial arts battle, has always been held in the Immortal Bridge.

The Immortal Bridge has a protective effect on all the candidates who enter it. The most ingenious point of this blessed land is that it is located at the intersection of the Yin and Yang worlds, and contains the power of life and death. It is unpredictable. Any living being who enters it, even if it dies, will be resurrected because of the life and death power in it, and will not really die.

The candidates who were beaten to death will be resurrected on the Immortal Bridge in the blessed land.

Therefore, in the military examination, all candidates must fight to the death and must not be soft-hearted or lenient, otherwise the winner will be someone else.

Now, on this immortal bridge, there are hundreds of candidates standing there in despair, waiting for the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp to lead them out of the blessed land of the immortal bridge.

On both sides of the Immortal Bridge, the masters of the Ministry of Etiquette were in charge of invigilating the examination. They sat at desks by the bridge, holding pens and ink to record who was injured, died, how the battle was, and their ratings to determine the ranking. Although they are sitting at the desk, their souls are floating on the sky, inspecting all the activities in the Xianqiao Paradise.

There are also experts from the Fifth Military Camp who are responsible for controlling the Xianqiao Paradise, monitoring everyone's movements in the Paradise, and guarding against fraud.

The martial arts battle is the most important of the three martial arts trials. In the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land, it is strictly forbidden to carry talismans, talismans, and magic weapons. Regardless of the level of the realm, any Taoist method can be performed without taboos. "This big exam is pretty normal, there are no moths."

An examiner was distracted by two things. He took up a pen to record Juren's performance and said with a smile, "During the last big exam, there was a big mess in the martial arts. The bastard Juren in Gongzhou formed a clique. Dozens of Juren formed a gang. They worked together to besiege the other Juren and swept across the Xianqiao Paradise like locusts, beating the disciples to pieces. Fortunately, the cabinet ordered that the masters of the Fifth Army Camp enter the Xianqiao Paradise to suppress them."

As soon as this statement came out, the other examiners laughed.

At that session of the General Examination, Gongzhou Juren caused too much trouble, so they were all dismissed from the position of Juren and would never be employed.

"There was some trouble last time. The most promising ones to win were Zhang Ao from the Zhang family and Gao Zhengang from the Gao family. Before the fight, the two of them had the loudest voices. They both believed that they must have tried that time. Huiyuan. As a result, something went wrong in the fight."

A white-bearded examiner smiled and said, "The two governors in charge of the Xianqiao Blessed Land are two brothers of the Xia family. As a result, during the fight, Zhang Ao and Gao Zhengang met in advance, and both of them were injured. Yaoer was defeated. Xia Yaoer became the daughter of Huiyuan, so some people suspected that the two governors were causing trouble. "

It was hard for everyone to continue this topic. After all, there were soldiers from the fifth military camp guarding the area.

One of the examiners coughed and said, "I heard that there was a martial arts fight in which one Juren was tied with all the Juren who were competing." "That time, it was Mr. Chen Tangchen from the Ministry of Revenue."

The white-bearded examiner laughed and said, "Later on, some people called him the King of Accommodation, and some called him the King of Reluctance..." As soon as he said this, he stopped laughing and looked to one side, showing doubts. .

The other examiners also stopped laughing, followed his gaze, and saw a young man who looked somewhat similar to Chen Tang, walking towards him in confusion. "He's the young master of the Chen Tang family! The child scholar Chen Shi!"

The white-bearded examiner quickly shouted and woke up Chen Shi, saying, "Chen Jieyuan, you are still taking the exam. This is not the place for you! If you go to Xianqiao, you will be sent out!" Chen Shi suddenly said I woke up with a start and looked around hurriedly. I saw that the world here is divided into the underworld and the yang world. The underworld is eerie and terrifying, while the yang world is sunny.

Through the sky, you can see Xijing, which seems to be floating in the sky.

Looking in the other direction is the underworld. You can see a primordial spirit who has returned to the Mahayana realm, sitting in the underworld, as if his body penetrates the two realms of yin and yang. If you look further, you can still see a huge black iron pillar between heaven and earth.

There is a long river between the Yin and Yang worlds. The water in the river is black and yellow, emitting a strange light. A fairy bridge is built on it, dozens of feet long, and some dejected people stand on it. From time to time, a god in golden armor would descend from the sky and fly away with a few people.

He quickly thanked the white-bearded examiner and found a stone in front of the Immortal Bridge to sit down. Several examiners saw that he was not in a good state, and they were confused, but they didn't ask any more questions.

In the distance, a young monk defeated several people in succession. He was extremely powerful and walked towards Chen Shi's direction.

The white-bearded examiner Yuanshen looked around and found that in addition to the young monk, there was also a Taoist carrying a long sword on his back, and a Taoist with three golden books floating behind his head, who were also walking towards this side.

He couldn't help frowning, and whispered to the young examiner on one side: "The two adults of the Xia family are probably influencing the geography of Xianqiao Blessed Land again, and will lure some experts here. The purpose is probably to weaken Chen Jieyuan's strength, and to make a better future for him." Others pave the way.”

The young examiner lowered his voice: "Old Zheng, since you saw through it, why did you say it? What if you offended the two governors..."

The white-bearded examiner looked solemn and said nothing.

This time, the Brahma Kongliu of the Three Holy Lands of Buddhism, Shuiyue Shengjing, was missing, and Saint Xuan of the Bodhi Dojo lost her Taoist heart. She returned to the dojo with no reference. Only Monk Wuxiang of Dabaoguo Temple took the examination in the Senglu Division. Dominating the head, Monk Wuxiang is dressed in white silk clothes and a pair of black cloth shoes with white soles. He has his hands empty and looks up ahead.

His heart was as white and flawless as the Jinli Snow Mountain, and the back of his head was filled with Buddha's light, and the Paradise of Paradise was looming in the Buddha's light. This paradise is called the Western Heaven.

He stepped forward, his eyes fell on Chen Shi, and he silently recited the mantra, the divine seal of the Great Freedom Wheel King was already brewing. At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Senior Brother Wuxiang."

Monk Wuxiang turned around and saw another young monk, who was about the same age as him, dressed in the same style, with a shiny head. He was Monk Wuchen who was under the Kuzhu sect. Wu greeted each other politely and said, "Wuchen, what are you doing here?"

Wuchen smiled and said: "The young monk is here to compete with his senior brother for the title of Buddhist disciple of the Great Baoguo Temple."

Wuxiang's face was stern, without any expression. He stared at him and said: "Your master Kuzhu has passed away. It's a miracle that the skills Kuzhu passed on to you can keep you from being eliminated until now. Wuchen, you He is too utilitarian to be a disciple of Buddhism." He has always looked down upon Wu Chen.

Wuchen is a snobbish person who compliments people from aristocratic families in every possible way, but looks down upon those with a bad background. He is a monk who cannot tolerate vulgarity. Celebrities in Xijing ignored Wuchen, saying that he had no cultivation of Buddhism.

Wuchen said with a smile on his face: "I practice with my uncle and I progress faster than my master. Brother, I must get this title of Buddhist disciple! Only after I get this title can I become a great monk!" Wu Xiang Doubt: "Which uncle is teaching you?"

"Zen Master Rumeng!"

When Wuchen said this, he took a step forward. As he took the step, his physical body expanded rapidly and instantly transformed into a six-foot-long golden body. This is the golden body of the Bodhisattva, the supreme skill of the Snow Mountain of Gold, and the flawless body refined by the Divine Seal of the Great Freedom Wheel King!

This technique is practiced by Zen Master Kuzhu. The technique is obtained from the golden bodhisattva enshrined in Dabaoguo Temple. When the dust-free golden body is displayed, it is extremely violent. When it is struck, the wish-fulfilling wheel is struck. With one seal, the power of the palm is enveloped The space of several feet below was turned into a rotating moon!

Monk Wuxiang also activated Wuluosa's golden body, which appeared six feet tall. The two of them were like two golden Buddhas, colliding in front of the Immortal Bridge.

Every time the golden bodies of the two collided, Sanskrit sounds erupted, and the giant Buddhas in the Western Paradise behind their heads became clearer and clearer, making all the examiners look moved.

They knew that Monk Wuxiang was a Buddhist disciple of Dabaoguo Temple and was extremely powerful. The young master had entertained him many times and highly praised his Buddhist practice. Unexpectedly, this little-known Wuchen monk was as good as Wuxiang! The two fought fast and fast for more than ten rounds. Suddenly, Monk Wuxiang tried his best to hit Wuchen with a seal, and stabbed it with one finger, hitting Wuchen's Tanzhong point.

He was also struck by Wuchen's Vajra Wheel Seal, and his left arm was broken. His face was pale and he asked in surprise: "Your impeccable golden body has no flaws in the body?"

Wuchen said excitedly: "Senior brother, the young master told you about this flaw, right? But you wouldn't have thought that my uncle, Zen Master Rumeng, has already fixed this flaw!" He rushed forward quickly and printed the magic together, The strong wind is blowing!

While resisting, Monk Wuxiang shouted in horror: "There is no one named Zen Master Rumeng in Dabaoguo Temple! Wuchen, who is your uncle?"

Wuchen grabbed his other hand, hit his knee with his elbow, and broke his right arm. Then he hit Wuxiang on the head with a big cloud wheel and a Buddha's crown chakra with one hand, smashing the monk's brains into pieces, and died. ! The body of the No-Phase Monk disappeared, and another No-Phase Monk slowly formed on the Immortal Bridge.

Wuchen shouted, turned over in excitement, and shouted: "This time, it's finally my turn to be a great monk." Wuxiang looked at him with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

He was quite unwilling to do so. This Wuchen was obviously full of desire in his heart and had not achieved all four elements at all. Why could he defeat him? At this time, the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp came to pick him up and send him out of the Xianqiao Blessed Land.

Wuchen's excitement passed, he waved to Chen Shi and said with a smile: "Donor Chen, now you owe me a favor, don't forget to return it to me!" He actually did not take action against Chen Shi, in front of all the examiners. In his shocked eyes, he jumped away like a big mushroom.

As soon as Monk Wuchen left, a young Taoist Shi Shiran came to this place. From a distance, his eyes fell on Chen Shi, who was sitting on the stone in trance. Taoist disciple of Taishang Haoyuan Palace, Taoist Jinlu.

"Senior Brother Jinlu, I heard that in Taishang Haoyuan Palace's Flying Immortal Sword Sutra, if you practice to the peak, you can disintegrate your corpse and fly away as an immortal." Taoist Jinlu stopped, turned around, and saw Yu Lingzi walking towards Come this way.

"I wonder how far Senior Brother Jin Lu has reached in practicing the Flying Immortal Sword Scripture?"

Taoist Jinlu looked at Yu Lingzi, and then at Chen Shi who was sitting on the stone in a daze. He felt that he was being attacked from both sides, and immediately his energy and blood turned into swords, and his body was hidden in a sword light and flew away! "Don't run!"

Yu Lingzi chased after him and shouted, "Let me try your fingers to see if they can withstand my Taizhen Jade Art!"

Chen Shi turned a blind eye to them. At this time, another little Taoist priest with three golden books floating on his head came over with a smile and said: "Senior Brother Jin Lu's sword is fast, and Yu Lingzi likes to break people's fingers, which is not good. Damn it. I’m not going to win the first prize, but I’m going to make a fool of myself. I’ve met Senior Brother Chen in the Tianshi Mansion!”

"He is thinking about something very important and will not pay attention to you."

A voice came from not far away. Guo Daozi followed the sound and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhang You. Could it be that Senior Brother Zhang wants to protect Chen Jieyuan?"

Zhang You walked slowly over and said with a smile: "Don't protect him. I was tricked by the two governors of the fifth military camp and entered this place by mistake. The two governors wanted me and Chen Jieyuan to suffer both losses, so that the young master could win the championship."

Guo Daozi smiled and said: "So, I was also plotted. I shouldn't have come here, but I ended up here accidentally. I think the two governors changed the geography of the blessed land and deliberately led us here." He looked at it Looking at Chen Shi, he turned around and left, smiling and saying, "It's not a good place to stay in a place of right and wrong."

Zhang You hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

Suddenly, the distance between heaven and earth was turbulent. Guo Daozi's face changed slightly, he looked up at the sky and whispered: "Senior Brother Zhang, are the two governors so cruel, don't you want to let us go?" Zhang You shook his head and said: "They won't offend the young master. My Zhang family, Xianqiao Blessed Land, is afraid something will happen."

Suddenly there was another loud bang, and a long white jade bridge was inserted into the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land. At the end of the long bridge floated a female fairy in white clothes, affecting the entire blessed land. The fairy bridge tilted, making a loud cracking sound, and slid towards the underworld!

Xia Fanghe and Xia Shouying, the left and right governors of the Five Army Camp, sat up, their faces changed drastically, and they said in unison: "Oops!" They interfered too much with the Xianqiao Blessed Land, causing the Xianqiao Blessed Land to collide with the ghost and god realm of Qixia Temple!

"Five Army soldiers, listen to the order, rescue all the candidates, rescue as much as possible, and leave the Blessed Land quickly!"

The two governors' souls came to the sky above the Blessed Land and shouted loudly, "Officials of the Ministry of Rites! Leave the Blessed Land quickly, don't delay! Don't stay! The Xianqiao Blessed Land is about to collide with the underworld!" In the sky, a group of golden armored gods fell, stretched out their big hands, grabbed Zhang You, Guo Daozi and the candidates on the Xianqiao, and flew out of the sky.

The white-haired examiner was about to take Chen Shi away, but suddenly the sky shook violently, and many masters of the Five Army Camp were swept by the breath of the white-clothed female fairy, and they exploded and died. "Go!"

The examiners flew up and fled from here.
