moonlit night

"Senior brother, are you looking for me?"

There are many pine trees planted on Lingyun Peak, and all the way to the pine house, there are many prickly pine needles on his body. When the sensitive little squirrel on the tree is holding the pine cones and chewing vigorously, he will occasionally throw some of them down. Whether it hurts or not, it is also interesting.

"Well, didn't you ask me why this year's assessment was postponed by three days compared to previous years. It just so happens that the assessment is scheduled to start tomorrow. Today is free, and it is rare that you are interested. Let me tell you about the arrangement." Ye Zhiqiu put down the scroll in his hand, and thought Yixie stood up, smiled at Yue Qingchen and said, "This time the format is different from previous years. I discussed with Fuyu and divided it into two sessions. One of them is that there are disciples fighting each session. Needless to say, and Another opening session that is different from the past is the search for the secret realm. Qingchen, do you still remember the cave-like secret realm that is unique to me in Kunwu? This year, it has been delayed for three days, just to wait for this secret realm to open naturally."

Yue Qingchen nodded: "But the foggy forest?"

"Well," Ye Zhiqiu spread out a scroll on the table, pointed to one of them, and said, "The secret cave in the depths of the misty forest is opened every ten years, and it is divided into seven levels. Each level has different types and levels. Spiritual objects, the deeper they go, the higher the level, and the more difficult it is to find and capture, but the corresponding score is also higher. Among them, there is a very dangerous but also very beneficial spiritual grass in the seventh layer. Fairy, closed in an enchantment. After entering the first stage, the disciples began to look for the spiritual objects scattered in the secret realm. After finding them, they only needed to use Jiuyi's special magic weapon to draw them on the spiritual objects. Gently make a mark on the specific position of the spirit object, and the points corresponding to the spiritual object will be automatically added to the total points of the disciples."

"Well," Yue Qingchen looked at the extremely detailed map of the distribution of spiritual objects on the table, "What if someone finds the Celestial Fairy?"

"Direct promotion, no need to participate in the second round of battle." Although Ye Zhiqiu said so, he shook his head, "Most of these disciples are still in the Qi training stage, and the foundation building stage is very rare, and they want to break through to the first stage. The seventh level requires at least the ninth level of foundation building or even the cultivation base of the golden core stage, and there are two-headed green pythons with powerful spiritual powers around Tianxianzi, so there is almost no such possibility."

That's not necessarily the case, Yue Qingchen said in his heart, but didn't say much, just continued the conversation: "Do you need my help?"

For the past two years, he has been living a secluded life in Juechen Peak, and he has almost never come to him for anything. Although this is very satisfactory, he still feels a little bit sorry.

"Nothing is necessary," Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "but if you have time tomorrow, you can take a look at Wei Ruifeng, and help to see if there are any disciples who are in danger in the secret realm and need to be rescued, that would be great. And there is Didn’t the little disciples that Fu Yu told you didn’t have much in common with you, it’s just that tomorrow you can go and see their performance in the secret realm in person, and it’s not too late to pick them.”

"Okay." Yue Qingchen responded one by one.

a day later.

"Why are you here?" Yun Ya, who was standing in the middle of the seven-fold mirror image with nothing to do, raised her eyebrows, and rushed towards Yue Qingchen and Ning Yuanmei, who were slowly approaching many inner disciples who were orderly controlling the illusion: "Isn't it enough for the head brother to let me do coolies?"

"Let's see if there's anything I need help with. We'll come together when we meet Wang Shu." Ning Yuanmei looked around at the ethereal mirror images condensed by the huge towering seven-faced spiritual power, which clearly showed the scenes in various secret realms, among which The first level is the most, and the seventh level is empty, only various large spirit beasts that have never appeared in the first six levels are wandering around slowly.

"There's nothing unusual at the moment," Yun Ya shrugged, "It's just that these little disciples have too low spiritual power, and their movements are too slow, so I can't help but want to rush in and fight for them."

"How's the score?" Yue Qingchen, who was also looking around the mirror, asked lightly.

"Currently the kid from the Feng family ranks first, and the girl from the Luo family ranks second, as expected." Yunya said disapprovingly, pointing to the top right, "No, there is a ranking over there. See for yourself."

Each name on the ranking list is followed by two luminous numbers, one is the current score and the other is the overall rank. The numbers change over time. If the rank turns red, it means a decline, and if it turns green, it means an increase.

The rankings of Feng Manlou and Luo Qingluan kept alternating, and it was difficult to distinguish them for a while, but the scores were rising at an astonishing speed at the same time, and they could be counted in less than an hour from the beginning.

Yue Qingchen searched for a long time, and finally found Jun Changye's name at the bottom.

His score turned out to be zero.

Yue Qingchen's eyes darkened, and his eyes moved from the watch to the seven-fold mirror image.

I don't know what happened to the child, and what level he went to.

"Wait," Ning Yuanmei, who had been observing the mirror image, suddenly called out in a low voice, pointing to the seventh mirror image and saying, "Come and see."

The eyes of the two then moved to the mirror image, and they saw two groups of people confronting each other coldly outside the seventh layer of illusion seal barrier, during which there was a strong sense of tension.

It is said that there are two groups of people, but in fact, there are many people on one side and few people on the other side.

In front of them was a partially damaged barrier, with a gap that could allow one person to pass through.

Yun Ya frowned first and said, "What are they trying to do?"

"It's not easy to find and break through the barrier, maybe," Ning Yuanmei said thoughtfully, "Is it a fight to get in first?"

"No," Yue Qingchen said in a deep voice, "Look at the damage on the enchantment in the magnifying glass, "Look, according to the traces of the spiritual attack, the target of the most powerful spiritual attack here is not the enchantment. , and judging from the attack method, it doesn't look like breaking the formation, but more like..."

"Kill." Yun Ya answered first.

"……almost."

Although simple, rude and straightforward, Yun Shengjun's venomous eyes are still venomous. The fire spirit attack from Fengmanlou was indeed not to break the formation, but to put people to death.

"Miss Luo, you have a noble status, and our two families have always kept the water in the well, so why bother to make trouble with our young master just to protect that little boy?" On the other side with a large number of people, Feng Tong slickly rushed towards the sullen expression on his face. The girl in Tsing Yi persuaded softly, while speaking, her eyes kept squinting up and down on the girl, and she wanted to continue, "Actually, you don't need it at all, that little boy is just..."

"Feng Man Lou, are you deaf or dumb?" The girl in green gave him a disgusted look, and then said coldly to the proud young man in red with a bow, "Take care of your dog first, and then think about what to do." How to talk to me."

"You're right," Feng Manlou replied coldly, but his gaze passed over the girl and looked at the silent boy in blue behind her, "Of course I will discipline my dog. Dealing with nature is also my own business, and you don't need to meddle in it."

Luo Qingluan sneered, and suddenly flicked the water-colored whip in his hand, pointing at Feng Manlou and began to curse: "You are still Uncle Feng's son, so you are so arrogant and unreasonable! Do you think I am blind? Don't think I am not I saw your despicable and nasty deeds along the way! If you are a man, you will fight one-on-one in an upright manner. What kind of skill is it to snatch the spiritual things caught by others and stamp your own mark with more people? Even if you win, don’t I feel ashamed? ? Let me tell you, no matter what grievances you have with him, I will take care of today's business!"

"How could Mr. Hengwu have such an unruly and vulgar niece like you?" Feng Manlou retorted, "I heard people say how beautiful and dignified Miss Luo is. A young lady who is spoiled in the palm of her hand is not as good as an ignorant village woman who knows the book and keeps the etiquette."

"Don't you call my little uncle!" Luo Qingluan whipped his whip furiously, but the hand holding the whip stopped suddenly the moment Shui Ling whipped it.

Because she felt that the boy behind her who had been silent all this time suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes gently, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

Luo Qingluan glanced back at him abruptly, and saw a wave of fluctuation flashing in the cold boy's eyes that were originally as deep as cold water. She hesitated for a moment, then turned around, concentrating the abundant spiritual power with violent water energy in his eyes. With the strength of the spirit whip flying into the air, the whip was thrown down abruptly, splashing all over the faces of the people on the opposite side in an instant.

"Damn it!" Feng Manlou cursed, wiped the water on his face and suddenly looked towards the opposite side, only to find that the two of them took advantage of this gap to enter the gap in the broken barrier.

That smelly girl Luo Qingluan even temporarily sealed the gap.

"Young master, what should we do? Do you want to continue breaking the formation?" Feng Tong asked dumbfounded.

"No need," Feng Manlou waved his hands with a gloomy face, "Idiots who are overconfident, it's very dangerous in there, and it's hard for the two of them to even protect themselves, so they will definitely come out soon, you guys Surround the weakest part of the barrier, and send a signal to me when they come out."

After finishing speaking, he pointed at Feng Tong and said coldly: "You, go hunting with me."

"Yes, yes." Feng Tong hurriedly nodded, "I'll carry the arrow basket for you."

"Why are you stopping me? I think people like Feng Manlou just don't want to smoke. You should give yourself a good beating to know who you are!" Luo Qingluan supported the tree trunk and panted heavily, still inhumane : "Hey, what's going on with your kid and him?"

Before she finished speaking, she was dragged behind the nearby tree with her mouth covered by the people around her. She struggled violently a few times, and was about to slam the whip at Jun Changye's face as soon as she flicked her eyes.

"Be quiet."

There was a hint of imperceptible tension in the young man's low voice, and he grabbed the whip that Luo Qingluan was whipping vigorously with one hand, and the hand holding the girl loosened slightly, but he still pulled her back quickly behind the tree without slowing down.

Although Luo Qingluan was full of doubts and extremely ashamed, but seeing that there seemed to be cold sweat on his forehead, and he was nervous and did not seem to be fake, he had no choice but to temporarily cooperate with the other party's movements.

As soon as the two of them hid behind the tree, they saw a group of slow-moving red flame rhinos slowly coming out from the depths of the jungle. The oxtail with the thorns on its tail swung back and forth in the air, and the giant tree that was unfortunately struck by it broke in the middle without a sound.

The red flame rhinoceros has a body as hard as iron, a tail like lightning, good at charging, likes to live in groups, and is bloodthirsty, and it cannot be competed with by non-Golden Core Stage.

Luo Qingluan made a rough visual comparison between the thick tail of the cow and the thickness of the whip in his hand, and decided that the difference between the two was comparable to the iron pestle and embroidery needle in the hands of grandma.

Hey, just look at the tree that was severed in the middle and you will know how painful it would be if it hit your body.

Fortunately, the location of the tree Jun Changye chose was hidden enough, until the herd of rhinos slowly swayed past and disappeared into another deep part of the dense forest, and they were not found by them.

The two stayed in a half-squatting position for about a stick of incense, and Jun Changye completely let go of the hand holding Luo Qingluan's water whip until he was sure that they would never be discovered by the herd again. Clothes stood up, and was about to go straight to the direction where the herd of rhinos disappeared.

"Hey, hello," Luo Qingluan squatted on the ground and waved at him desperately, but was afraid of being heard by other large beasts, so she whispered: "Come back quickly, it's too dangerous!"

Jun Changye glanced at her lightly, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes.

He said, "Go back."

His tone was alienated and cold, as if it was not the girl in front of him who had just experienced hardships together.

"What about you?" Luo Qingluan couldn't believe her ears. She looked at the bleeding hand that Jun Changye had just received a whip from her just to prevent too much noise, and stood up suddenly, " What do you want to do?"

Jun Changye made a quiet gesture to her, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Are you Hengwu Jun's niece?"

"Yes," Luo Qingluan said vigilantly, "I know you, you are the little animal tamer who attracts spirit beasts very much, you are also very hardworking in cultivation, and you have an aura of keeping strangers away."

When it came to the words "practice special spell", Luo Qingluan didn't know if he misunderstood it, but Luo Qingluan actually felt that there seemed to be a self-deprecating coldness flashing across the young man's face.

"How much do you know about the Four Sages?" Jun Changye asked again quickly.

"I understand very well, why are you asking this?" Luo Qingluan continued to be wary.

This time the young man was silent for a long time, until Luo Qingluan became impatient, and muttered in his heart that this kid doesn't look like a bad guy, so he started talking to himself: "Since you know the name Four Saints, you must be Do you know that the Four Sage Kings refer to my little uncle and the three sage kings on Kunwu Mountain? When I go back to Kunwu Mountain today, I naturally want to worship Wangshu Sage King on Juechen Peak as my teacher. Wangshu Sage King two years ago It’s rare for the first time to announce the acceptance of apprentices. My little uncle told me to join Juechen Peak to learn art. To be honest, I especially admire Wangshu Shengjun. In infancy, he is stronger than my little uncle, if I can really worship him as my teacher, I would be so happy to think about it. I heard that he is also very good-looking, but he always wears a mask, and he hasn't shown his true colors to others for a long time."

"Mask?" Jun Changye muttered softly and shook his head.

"What do you mean by shaking your head?" Luo Qingluan said vigilantly, "I don't believe you don't want to."

"Among the Four Sage Monarchs," the young man's tone suddenly became dignified, and he was even inexplicably nervous, "Is there any one whose name is related to the sky?"

"Sky?" Luo Qingluan was baffled, she looked up at the blue sky, and only saw the blue sky and misty clouds, "I seem to remember when you said that, there is a sage who followed me The sky has something to do with it. Shengjun Rongyin's surname is Yun, and he usually likes to wear blue clothes. I heard that Rongyinjun and Wangshujun have a good relationship, and they even exchanged magic weapons with their respective spiritual powers. What's the matter? Do you want to enter Fuyao Peak?"

Jun Changye followed her gaze to the clear sky, adding a little clarity in his eyes to the moon. He no longer answered Luo Qingluan's question, but took out a white ball tightly wrapped in brocade from his arms Passed it to the girl, and after seeing that she took it for no apparent reason, she said calmly, "Come with me."

After finishing speaking, without looking at Luo Qingluan again, he turned his head and walked in the direction where the herd of cattle disappeared before.

According to the guide map found in the secret realm left by the senior in Mo Yuzhong before he fell asleep, the senior wants to find the first Fairy Spirit Grass to restore his soul and spiritual power, it should be in the seventh secret realm. deep.
