Ku Rongti

The questioning meeting is held once every 20 years, and the three islands take turns to hold it. This time it is the turn of the richest abbot among the three islands.

One month in advance, the rising stars of various families are already on their way to the abbot, and there are also some casual cultivators and people who want to watch the fun being brought by the master to the abbot.

Sang Shishi and the others set off half a month later, and Mu Liang found someone with decent cultivation in Mu's house to take them there.

Of course, it wasn't Yujian. It was so useless, Mu Liang gave them the flying boat.

The flying boat is usually a leaf, but after being infused with spiritual power, it becomes a boat with open wings and can fly in the air.

Mu Rugui was the one who took them to the abbot, and the flying boat cost spiritual stones, besides them, there were also the rising stars of Penglai Palace.

However, Sang Shishi and the others received special care, and each of them shared a room.

Looking down from the flying boat, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Penglai. Jing Gu is lying on the side of the boat, watching the scenery.

There is a protective magic circle on the flying boat, and the wind generated by the fast flight will not blow within one foot of the flying boat.

Here he was staring at the scenery in a daze, and someone beside him was staring at him in a daze.

Mu Rugui's favorite in this life is a beauty.

Taking people to the abbot this time, his eyes were attracted by Sang Shishi and Jing Gu from the very beginning. Among the people on the boat, they were the only two good-looking, and Jing Gu's appearance was somewhat more delicate than Sang Shishi.

Jing Gu was originally born in a very good condition, and it is even more beautiful to be slightly bent and lying on the side of the boat looking at the scenery in a daze. The sky shines on his face, and the corners of his eyes are bright red.

Before he walked over, Jing Gu saw him sharply: "Uncle Mu."

According to seniority, Mu Rugui called Mu Liang an uncle, so he deserved to be called Jing Gu's uncle.

Mu Rugui coughed lightly and walked over, pretending not to be nervous: "Call me Uncle Rugui, what are you looking at?"

Scenery: "Look at the scenery."

I didn't say this, but Mu Rugui was very happy to have successfully chatted with the beauty.

Although he really wanted to talk to Sang Shishi, but that person was cold-hearted and ignored him at all, not even bothering to give Mu Rugui a look.

Seeing that Mu Rugui came to look for him on his own initiative, Jing Gu's thoughts changed slightly, and he inquired about the news for himself and Eleven: "Uncle Rugui, what are the competitions for asking meetings?"

Mu Rugui: "Participants in the Quest will be divided into four groups. The opponents of each competition are determined by drawing lots. As for the competition...it depends on what you are cultivating."

In fact, the questioning meeting was not that serious. The time Mu Rugui attended, he saw a monk of the abbot smash the alchemy cauldron at his opponent.

In the end, the tripod was broken, because the opponent was a formation practitioner in Yingzhou, and he was invulnerable to the formation on his body.

Jing Gu nodded ignorantly: "Then I can't go on stage and let the puppet go up for me?"

Mu Rugui couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course it can't."

Wouldn't it be better to go up and be beaten down?Jing Gu suddenly became worried. His puppet was not made of black iron, so it couldn't stop the abbot's tripod and Penglai's sword.

"Will I match up with Eleven in the first round?" Jing Gu was even more worried, the ups and downs were as thin as a hair, pervasive, Jing Gu had no chance against Shangsang Shishi.

Mu Rugui smiled and said, "The first three rounds will not allow monks from the same island to compete."

Jing Gu nodded, he had finished asking what he wanted to ask, and it was time to go back and share it with Eleven.

"Jing, Jing Gu." Seeing that he was about to leave, Mu Rugui quickly called to stop him.

Jing Gu turned around suspiciously, his raised eyes were bright red, almost trying to win Mu Rugui's heart away.

He stumbled and said: "Today, are you free tonight? I, I think, I want to treat you to a drink, drink."

Mu Rugui secretly scolded himself for being uncouth and unable to even say a word properly, so he paused for a while and smiled: "Okay, if there is good wine, I will definitely bring Shi Shi and the others to drink together!"

After saying that, he left.

Mu Rugui was left stunned and stood there. He seemed... only invited Jing Gu, so why did he bring someone over?

Mu Rugui felt sorry for his good wine.

So, when the moonlight was cold and the breeze was blowing, Mu Rugui watched Jinggu bring a group of people with a stiff smile.

Even Liuli came.

"Thank you, Uncle Rugui!" Jing Gu sat down with a smile and took a big sip from his wine glass.

Sang Shishi nodded slightly to Mu Rugui, and sat upright at the table, completely different from Jing Gu's shapeless thing.

Gu Lizhu and Fu Shu were not interested in wine, but instead pestered Mu Rugui to tell them interesting stories about the three islands.

Liuli lay on the table, propped her head up to look at the stars.

"Eleven, now I only hope that you will draw all the strong opponents, so that I will be much more relaxed!" Jing Gu began to think wildly while drinking.

Sang Shishi was helpless, deeply felt that it was really embarrassing to make this friend, Mishima had so many powerful opponents, how could he let him take them all away?

If so, if he can't win the championship in one fell swoop...Is Chu Deng...

No, no, I must win the championship!

Sang Shishi never told Jing Gu and the others that after his cultivation came out of the illusion of water and light, he had reached Yuanying.

At the age of 23, at the beginning stage of Nascent Soul, he is not the most genius. Among the people who have been able to come out of the Valley of Trials, the most genius is Mu Liang's ancestors, who have gone from Qi training to God transformation in ten years.

It was also that person who made the Mu family's status the highest in Penglai.

What Sang Shishi didn't know was that since the existence of the Valley of Trials, no more than eight people could come out of it, and ordinary monks of his age can only establish foundations at most.

In the initial lottery, the opponents he drew were all within ten years of his age. If he won the first place at this level, the age would be increased to 20 years old.

Mu Liang blocked the news that he and Jing Gu came out of the Valley of Trials, but Mu Liang didn't know that Fang Yi also came out of it, so the number of people announced to the public was only seven.

Mu Rugui: "I still have a pot of old daughter's red wine, do you want to drink it?"

"Drink!" Jing Gu happily patted the table.

Liuli glared at him: "Drink less!" Drinking so much alcohol with a heart attack is fatal, right?

Sang Shishi put down his wine glass slowly, and quickly snatched the glass that Jing Gu was about to touch his lips: "I have something to tell you later, don't get drunk."

Jing Gu was dumbfounded. He had known Eleven for so long, and he was considered a life-and-death brother in the Valley of Trials. How could he not know that Sang Eleven was such an unreasonable person?

Liuli glanced at Sang Shiyi approvingly.

Zhou Shanji's temper Liuli knows best, it's just a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, when Liuli was still in Yingzhou, Zhou Shanji was known for his inhumanity and rigidity.

Now it seems that Sang Shishi is better than Zhou Shanji in every way, whether it is appearance, talent or temperament, she can't do it because of the broken sleeves, but she can't be with Zhou Shanji.

That person won't hurt Jing Gu, Liuli knows.

Seeing the scene, Mu Rugui had no intention of chatting with him at all, so he had to go back to his room disappointed.

Jing Gu was still talking to Gu Lizhu about what happened in the Valley of Trials, but was dragged away by Sang Shishi.

"I'll tell you next time!" Jing Gu shouted, waving one hand.

Sang Shishi took him to the roof of the flying boat, sat down together and asked Jing Gu: "How is your puppetry?"

Jinggu summoned puppet puppets, exquisite puppets dressed in clothes, at first glance they looked like real people.

"The attribute of Jinjiu is fire. When the time comes, I will stand on the ring, let it out, and burn the opponent to death!"

Sang Shishi: "If the other party comes around behind you, you won't be able to hide."

And the towel wine lost the puppet master who commanded it, so it was no different from wood.

"Don't be afraid, I embroidered defensive magic circles on my clothes, do you want to embroider some for you?" Ever since Sang Shiyi taught Jinggu how to read, he has been addicted to books, and before he left, Mu Liang asked them to read. The selected books of Zangshuge were packed in storage bags and taken away, Jing Gu emptied half of Zangshuge without saying anything.

Fortunately, after he came back, he returned all the books, otherwise Mu Liang would definitely hunt him down to the ends of the earth.

Jing Gu's formation technique was learned in the book.

Unlike Sang Shishi who only focuses on the evolution of ups and downs, Jinggu can be regarded as "well-read", not to mention formations, he can make some pills.

But he just doesn't learn swordsmanship.

At any rate, Sang Shiyi could compare his opponent's sword skills with the sword of prosperity and decline, but Jing Gu didn't touch the field of swords at all.

He seemed to have been resisting the sword in his heart.

However, because of Chu Deng, Sang Shiyi has a good impression of Jian.

Sang Shishi: "Seriously, you don't really want to hit someone with a puppet, do you?"

He intuitively felt that Jing Gu could really do this.

Jing Gu: "No, I will admit defeat directly."

It really is Jinggu's style.

Sang Shishi: "How many more rounds do you win, try to persist until you play against me."

Then let Jing Gu directly admit defeat, the possibility of winning the championship is even greater.

Dare to let him deal with a strong opponent, Jing Gu's eyes widened.

"It's decided like that." Sang Shishi didn't feel that it was impossible at all, and he didn't care about Jing Gu's attitude. In his opinion, Jing Gu didn't need to have an attitude.

Jing Gu looked at his back and snorted bitterly, then showed a smirk again.

Sang Shishi, don't think that I don't know what your inner demon is. As a brother, I will help you.

Jing Gu was the first to go out of the Valley of Trials, and he could see the illusion of water and light of Sang Shishi and Fang Yi.

Sang Shishi's inner demon was actually Chu Deng, which surprised Jing Gu, and what shocked him even more was that Fang Yi had no inner demon from the beginning to the end.

In his illusion, there was an endless grassland. Fang Yi didn't seem too surprised, just walked forward, walked, and came out.

Easy as a joke.

Jing Gu even suspected that he could get out of the Valley of Trials without the help of himself and Shiyi.

But he didn't tell Sang Shiyi about this. First, since Fang Yi didn't hurt them in the Valley of Trials, but provided shelter instead, he shouldn't hurt them.

Second... If Eleven knew that he had seen his illusion, would his little life still be worth it?

Jing Gu smiled, turned over and got off the roof, just in time to see Mu Rugui looking at the stars on the other side, unable to sleep.

Mu Rugui is a member of the Mu family and Mu Liang's descendant. Since Zhou Shanji was taught by Mu Liang, does Mu Rugui know Zhou Shanji too?

Jing Gu walked up to him: "It's like returning to my uncle."

Mu Rugui didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk to him, and his ears turned red.

"Uncle, do you know my senior brother?" Jing Gu asked him mysteriously.

Mu Rugui was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "You mean Zhou Shanji?"

Then he saw Jing Gu's shining eyes, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable: "Ask him what he is doing."

Jing Gu: "My senior brother...has there ever been someone you like?"

Mu Rugui thought about it seriously: "Zhou Shanji and I are considered close friends, and I've never seen him have a crush on anyone."

He suddenly remembered that Mishima's broken sleeves were prevalent, and he paused for a moment, as if he had been struck by lightning and couldn't react: "You don't think...you watched the last week's mountain season, right?"

The word "exactly" was written on Jing Gu's face.

Mu Rugui: "I advise you not to think about it, Zhou Shanji is dedicated to the Tao, and his temper is stubborn and smelly. He will not be tempted by others."

Jing Gu wasn't too disappointed, he thought: "Isn't it because I haven't met me before that I didn't move Fanxin? When he comes back...hehehe..."

He clasped his fists at Mu Rugui: "Thank you, uncle!"

Then he left happily.

Mu Rugui hated Zhou Shanji a little bit in his heart, such a beautiful beauty actually fell in love with that stinky stone!

Jealousy is jealousy, and the "lustful" uncle doesn't pay much attention to it. Since the beauty has a place in his heart, he should find another wonderful woman.

The flying boat traveled for ten days, and they finally arrived at Minghao, the main city of the abbot.

Since entering the abbot's sea area, I can often see families or casual cultivators coming from all directions to participate in the questioning meeting on the airship.

Of course, not everyone can use flying boats like the Penglai Palace. Just now, Sang Shiyi saw a royal "broom" flying over.

Of course, most of the flying artifacts are still quite satisfactory, there are Yujian, there are flying boats, and there are flying artifacts made into various shapes.

Among the juniors accompanying the Mu family, Mu Shu is undoubtedly the most brilliant and eye-catching one. He is 25 years old and has a middle-level cultivation base. There are rumors that he will be the next head of the Mu family.

According to Mu Liang's instructions, Mu Shu and Sang Shishi got very close.

In fact, he is not a person who tends to follow others. After all, Sang Shishi and Jing Gu are deeply loved by Mu Liang. Everyone in Penglai Palace knows that they have not appeared in front of people for the past seven years, and it is understood that Mu Liang hid himself to teach. There are quite a few people who want to curry favor with them.

But Mu Shu is a more determined person than Zhou Shanji, thinking wholeheartedly that it is because of Mu Liang's iron order that he got close to Sang Shishi and the others.

Jing Gu likes many friends very much. Mu Shu has a gentle personality. Although he doesn't like him very much, he makes people feel very comfortable.

The important thing is that he is really as gentle as jade as the Mr. Pianpian described in the scriptures on the mainland.

But for Sang Shishi, the good thing about Mu Shu lies not in his appearance, but in his swordsmanship.

Mu Shu's usual swordsmanship is the same as Chu Deng's - Juechen swordsmanship.

Sang searched for Zangshu Pavilion all over the place, but he couldn't find any book scrolls recording this set of sword techniques. In order to use a sword technique with Chu Deng, he needed to learn from Mu Shu.

The flying boat stopped outside Minghao City, and after everyone went down, the flying boat turned into leaves and was collected by Mu Rugui.

Only then did Sang Shishi realize that except for him, Jing Gu, Liuli and Gu Lizhu, everyone else was wearing the school uniform of Penglai Palace.

Penglai is famous for its swordsmanship. The school uniform is white with black patterns, and the cuffs are embroidered with black sword patterns.

Sang Shishi wore his gray casual clothes all the year round, and because Gu Lizhu was not from Penglai Palace, she wore her apricot yellow prince's casual clothes as usual.

But Jing Gu went crazy and found a red dress to wear, which was embroidered with begonias. If you look carefully, you will find that every begonia flower has precise patterns and defensive formations engraved on it.

Jing Gu was originally dressed in gray like Sang Shishi, and even Sang Shishi didn't know that he had such a gorgeous dress.

She looks like a girl, with her sleeves cut off.Sang Shishi thought calmly.

He deliberately ignored that he was also a broken sleeve.

But not everyone thought so, at least except for Mu Rugui who looked straight at him, most of the monks passing by couldn't help but take a few glances at Jinggu.

After entering Minghao City, Sang Shishi realized that Penglai's Yongwei City is not very prosperous.

The abbot Mishima is the richest, and the wealth accumulated by alchemy and refining tools is inexhaustible. Every piece of Minghao City's wall has been refined, and the buildings in the city are even more exquisite. Almost every house has its own magic circle.

People came and went, and the monks of the abbot were clearly distinguished from the foreign monks—they were more gorgeously dressed.

Few of the abbots wore white, such a plain color could not highlight the richness of the abbot's monks, so Mu Rugui and his party walked on the street wearing the school uniform of Penglai Palace, which was very abrupt.

Mu Rugui took them to the abbot's Shi'an Palace to meet the island owner, and then lived in Shi'an Palace as a matter of course.

This is the treatment that only the monks of Penglai Palace and Mingchu Palace in Yingzhou have. Others can only stay in the abbot's inn.

Recently, the rent in the inn is not cheap.

At night, Sang Shixi quietly went out of the room. During the day, he found out where the arena was, and he walked quietly through the night to the arena.

The cold moonlight shone on the eighteen arenas in the martial arts field, and there was no one around. When Sang Shishi stepped onto the largest arena, he suddenly felt a little excited.

As long as he can stand here to the end, he can go to see Chu Deng.

Suddenly, there was a sound of piercing through the air, Sang Shishi's eyes narrowed, and he tilted his head slightly. Sheng Hua sprang out from his cuff, and quickly grabbed the arrow that was past his ear.

"Who?" Sang Shixi's whole body tensed up, and the ups and downs slowly stretched out, protecting his gate of life, and the silk thread shone with a quiet light under the moonlight.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xiao Lang." The woman's voice sounded, and Si Xi slowly came out from the darkness.

As soon as Sang Shiyi saw it was her, the ups and downs silently condensed into swords behind him.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to deliver a message for the Lord." Si Concubine was a good person, so she naturally saw Sang Shishi's small movements.

Sang Shishi didn't hide it anymore, and directly held the sword formed by ups and downs in his hand, recalling every move Mu Shu used with Juechen swordsmanship.

"Your lord?" Sang Shishi noticed the person in her words.

There was a little reverence on Si Ji's face, and there was warmth on her pale face.

She smiled and said, "My lord asked me to tell you that if you win the leader, he will give you a big gift."

Sang Shiyi frowned, he didn't know who the master was, but he had heard of Fuxu.

He knew that Si Ji was a fuzzy person.

It seemed that Si Ji just came to convey a message, so she turned around and left.

Sang Shishi didn't think about it, and quickly left the ring.

The author has something to say:

I promise, Xiao Deng will definitely appear in the next chapter, and he will come back early.
