I became Hu Aotian by selling cuteness [Wearing Books]

The place where Shu Lingjia is currently located is Xihuang Nanze Mountain, which is also the place where the sword test conference is held.

Rumor has it that old man Cang Ming, the founder of the sword sect, soared here, and in the secret cave on the top of the mountain, there is still the remnant of his sword intent when he comprehended the Dao.

Walking west along the secret cave, there is a stone wall polished by a rapid waterfall, smooth as a mirror, if there is a chance, it can reflect people's birth and death, past and present lives.

Xihuang has a special climate, with a season of 20 years, spring cage fog, summer flying snow, autumn freezing, winter continuous rain.

Only when the first snow falls in the early summer, the secret cave on the top of the mountain is expected to be unsealed and opened due to the fighting spirit among the swordsmen, so the sword test meeting is also held every 20 years.

According to the rules set by the comprehension world, a person has only one chance to enter enlightenment once in a lifetime, so the final winner of each session will not participate in future conferences.

The leader last time was still Jing Feitong, but after a hundred years since him, the secret cave of the Western Wilderness has never been opened again.

That is to say, there have been five consecutive sword test conferences, and there has not been any young junior who can be seen by the Taoist. Although everyone has worked hard to determine the winner, they still cannot touch the sword.

This is simply a great shame for the kendo lineage.

It is precisely because of this that this sword test conference has received full attention and attention from all parties.

In fact, Shu Lingjia was originally the most promising candidate in the previous conferences, but by accident, every time he was delayed due to unexpected circumstances, he was not able to attend.

Naturally, the fundamental reason is that such an opportunity to become famous should not belong to him alone. Shu Lingjia's meridians were damaged and his skills were lost, precisely because Jiang Rong was then "accepted in danger" as a matter of course.

Amidst the unfavorable voices of the crowd, Jiang Rong became the winner of the final competition after two years of entry, which is the true meaning of Shuangwen.

But now, the plot has shifted, and everything has changed.

The monks who came to participate in the sword test meeting want to formally enter Nanze Mountain and obtain the qualifications to participate in the competition. They must first pass a round of tests, which is the sword mark that Yin Chen, Zhou Qingqian and others have mentioned.

Outside the Nanze Mountain Gate, there is a stone wall with a very special material, which is extremely solid and better than iron. The first thing every monk has to do is to draw his own sword marks on this stone wall.

If they can't even do this, then even if they have an invitation to the sword test meeting, they will not be allowed to participate in the competition.

It is precisely because of the strict selection at each level that each sect will be extra cautious when selecting the disciples who come to participate in the sword test meeting, otherwise the quota will be wasted, and no one wants to embarrass the sect on this occasion .

The benefits of the red post given by Zhou Qingqian were reflected at this time. Shu Lingjia did not need to take the test, so he entered Nanze Mountain early, and chose a relatively remote and clean residence as a casual cultivator. .

Since the last time he sparred with Jing Feitong, he had realized something, he practiced sword in the mountains every day, and he hadn't met anyone else yet.

But when the bell rang, Shu Lingjia remembered that the sword mark test was about to start this morning, and people from all sects and sects must have arrived.

Although it has nothing to do with him, this is a good time to observe the opponent. Shu Lingjia picked up the saber beside him and prepared to get up and go.

As soon as his fingers touched the scabbard, the mighty sword moved a few steps aside with a bang, and even avoided it by itself.

Sword spirit Duan Se came out of it sleepily, stretched his waist, opened his mouth and yawned.

Shu Lingjia picked up a stone and threw it into his mouth.

With a "hiss", Duan Se shut her mouth suddenly, almost biting her own tongue, and instantly regained her energy.

"What are you doing?"

Shu Lingjia said: "Why do you look like you can't wake up every day?"

Duan Se said: "Because I am very poor. I have been sealed in the sword by a spell for too long. I am unconscious and need a certain amount of time to recuperate. So I always feel sleepy. Besides, it's boring to have nothing to do and not sleep."

Shu Lingjia said: "Then you can refresh yourself, aren't you the invincible sword? It's almost time to go to the battlefield, and I'm waiting for you to show your might."

Duan Se said: "Well...Of course I am the Invincible Excalibur, invincible and invincible, but you are not an invincible fox. I will not hold back. Who knows if you can do it."

Shu Lingjia laughed.

Duan Se looked at him and asked again: "Hey, let me tell you, are you afraid of losing?"

As Shu Lingjia's sword, he naturally had the clearest sense of Shu Lingjia's state when he used the sword technique, and he also felt his messy emotions.

Shu Lingjia said: "I didn't think about losing. Since I came to the competition, I naturally aimed to win. Why can't I win?"

Others say, but do good deeds, don't worry about the future, as long as you work hard, don't care about the ending, but Shu Lingjia never thought of it like this.

Whatever he does, he has to ask for a result, and he has to live to understand while living in this world.

It is to do good deeds, but also to ask about the future!

Duan Se looked at him with a dazed expression, and said in a low voice, "Really?"

He found that Shu Lingjia was also very strange. He never lacked a way out, but he would always find the most difficult one among countless ways out.

Shu Lingjia grasped the mighty hilt of the sword, stood up on the ground, stood up, and smiled at Duan Se: "Why, I am so confident, do you think you will be defeated by other swords? "

Duan Se was silent for a moment, and finally laughed: "That is absolutely impossible, my generation of Excalibur, everyone is frightened by the news, how could it fail!"

He rekindled his fighting spirit and clenched his fists tightly: "Then let us each use our sword to shock the entire Nanze Mountain together! Go!"

Shu Lingjia: "...after a fight starts, you must not come out and speak."

Nanze Mountain is steep and majestic, with two stone walls forming a natural mountain gate, standing tall and straight into the sky.

Xihuang has a special climate. In early summer, there is snow and snow, but the weather is very clear.

When Shu Lingjia passed by, it was just as the sun was rising, and the little snow that shone on it was more crystal clear, like flying catkins.

Standing at a slightly higher place and looking down from a distance, he saw disciples of different sects and sects wearing different colored costumes, lined up separately, standing outside the mountain gate, while the elders had already had their own seats. , the demeanor is quite relaxed, while drinking tea, while chatting.

Seeing that it was the turn of Ling Xiao Qizong's disciples, Shu Lingjia transformed into a silver mask and put it on his face, and walked a little closer to watch.

Fortunately, there are many strangers here at this time, with different clothes and colors, and they are willing to hide their strengths and bide their time to observe other people's situation, so there are quite a few people who cover their appearance, and he is not conspicuous among them.

Shu Lingjia searched around, and had already seen the people from Ling Xiao Qizong. He found that Luo Xiao didn't show up again this time, so he couldn't help but sighed inwardly.

His elder brother, obviously the eldest disciple of the sect master, the first disciple of the Ling Xiao Qi Sect, was born with poor health and apathetic nature. He had always lived in seclusion and ignored everything. Few even know his name.

Seeing that Yin Chen and the others passed the test quickly and easily, the deacon disciple said loudly: "The next one is the Qizong of the Lingxiao School, Jiang Rong!"

This kind of test that leaves sword marks, everyone does it in the same way. After watching it for a long time, it becomes very boring. At this time, the test is already halfway through, and everyone is feeling tired. When they heard the name, they felt refreshed and talked about it stand up.

"Jiang Rong, isn't he the so-called new-generation genius of the Lingxiao Sect? The current peak master of Mingjian Peak has made a big name, and today we can see him make a move!"

"Brother, if you want to see this man show his true abilities, you will be disappointed. Don't you know that he was defeated by Shu Lingjia last time in Qingqiu?"

"It's been heard, but according to Ling Xiao's disciple, he was unwell that day, so he seemed to be in trouble. The rumors are supernatural, so it can't be that he has no real ability in the end, right?"

"Regardless of real ability or not, poor character is real. Muting fellow sects, slandering swords, and even forcing senior brothers to leave the sect to run away, bah, no matter how talented they are, I still look down on such people!"

"It's strange to say that he was safe and sound even after making such a big mistake, and even came to participate in the sword test meeting. Sect Leader He has indulged Jiang Rong too much!"

"Which of the two of them is taller and who is lower, let's not talk about it for the time being. I just want to ask if Shu Lingjia is seriously injured? Can he beat Jiang Rong? Could it be that the rumors are exaggerated?"

If Jiang Rong was only slightly famous before, then after the public conflict between Qingqiu and Shu Lingjia, he also got his wish and became famous in the entire cultivation world.

However, the name is not a good name, and this way of being known to the world is not quite the same as Jiang Rong's dream in the past.

At that time, he was exposed to have attempted to murder Shu Lingjia, and he was defeated by Shu Lingjia. Several sects witnessed it with their own eyes. Afterwards, the matter was quickly embellished in various ways and spread throughout the cultivation world.

Until then, many people didn't know that Shu Lingjia had left the Lingxiao faction, and the reason for his departure was precisely because of Jiang Rong's constant framing and exclusion.

After all, Qingqiu is the domain of the Nine-Tailed White Fox Clan, so he dared to murder so recklessly. During the two years in the Lingxiao Sect, Jiang Rong was proud of his success and Shu Lingjia was seriously injured and depressed.

Then Shu Lingjia appeared, and when he drew his sword out of its sheath, he was astonishing. He broke Jiang Rong's shoulders in public, not only did not make people feel domineering, but everyone praised Shu Lingjia for his courageous actions and superb swordsmanship.

Their cultivators often attach great importance to their sect background. Originally, Shu Lingjia left the sect and ran away, which was extremely easy to be criticized in the cultivation world, but because Jiang Rong is too hateful, it makes sense for him to do whatever he does , which is also a result that no one expected.

Now, Jiang Rong appeared on the stage, but he looked handsome and gentle, not quite like the despicable villain in the rumors.

Looking at him, everyone couldn't help being curious, wanting to see what kind of ability he had to teach He Zizhuo to protect him like this, and whether that so-called talent was just bragging.

Among all kinds of discussions and speculations, Jiang Rong came out in response.

Before that, Shu Lingjia and He Zizhuo wounded him one after another, neither of them took it lightly, but in just a few days, his injury seemed to have fully healed, and he looked ruddy and refreshed, and he was not affected at all. Under the influence of various rumors and gazes.

Jiang Zhi went straight to the mountain wall, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, feeling very nervous.

He asked silently in his heart: "Are you ready?"

The voice in the bead said: "Let's start."

So Jiang Rong drew his sword.

Shu Lingjia had also been watching this scene, but at the moment when Jiang Rong's long sword was unsheathed, his gaze froze suddenly, feeling that something was wrong.

Immediately, seeing Jiang Rong raise his sword and slash straight, a surge of sword energy blasted out and hit the stone wall!

There was a long cry of vigor, the mountains trembled, and a half-finger-deep crack was left on the stone wall, which compared everyone who had passed the test before.

Naturally, Shu Lingjia was not the only one who was surprised, and everyone in the audience was extremely surprised.

——I really can't see that he has such a skill!

The elders of the various sects sat on high positions not far away, and they had already had a panoramic view of this scene.

Seeing that the disciples of the two sects of the Lingxiao Sect had all passed the sword test, an old man next to He Zizhuo couldn't help smiling at him and said:

"Headmaster He, the Lingxiao faction is full of talents. You, a closed-door disciple, are really powerful. I think his moves are quite similar to Lingjia's back then."

He Zizhuo also smiled, and said: "It's just a fluke, Mr. He is polite."

When he spoke, he seemed to be a little absent-minded, and he glanced around at the various sects outside the door, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Until now, halfway through the test, He Zizhuo still did not see Shu Lingjia appear.

No, didn't Yin Chen say that he had already gone to Qingqiu to get the invitation card?

He Zizhuo was sure that Shu Lingjia would definitely come with his personality, and he had been waiting for the other party to appear, but seeing that half a day had passed, not only did he not see Shu Lingjia come out for the test, even the entire open space outside the mountain gate did not show up. his trail.

"Senior Uncle Head." A famous disciple came up behind him and reported in a low voice, "The disciple just now went to Qingqiu to inquire, and learned that Senior Brother Shu had left a few days ago and was not with them."

He Zizhuo asked: "Did he take Qingqiu's invitation?"

The disciple said: "The person I inquired about is not of high status in the Fox Clan, so I don't know the details, but Qingqiu only has five invitation cards, and they sent out five people to test this time. From this point of view, senior brother I didn't get an invitation from the Fox Clan..."

His voice became smaller as he got to the back, because he saw that He Ziyan's face was obviously very bad.

It shouldn't.

Did something unexpected happen to Shu Lingjia, or did Qingqiu go back on his word and didn't give him the post?

He Zizhuo said in a deep voice: "Go and ask other sects who have had friendship with him, and see if anyone knows where he went after he left Qingqiu."

The disciple hurriedly responded, turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, he heard a commotion not far away, and someone vaguely said "Shu Lingjia" with a raised voice.

He Zizhuo immediately turned his head to look.

The disciple said: "Uncle Master, it seems that people from the Guiyi faction have clashed with us!"

Speaking of this Guiyi faction, it is also Ling Xiao's old enemy, and the two sides have been entangled for many years with unresolved grievances.

It is said that when Ling Xiao was not split, there was an excellent disciple in the school, but because of his withdrawn personality, he always liked to study some heretical kung fu, so he was often excluded and ridiculed. Left the sect and joined the Guiyi sect.

Then, as the Guiyi faction continued to grow and grow, Ling Xiao's strength weakened after two points, and the contradiction between the two sides gradually became prominent.

The Lingxiao school thinks that the Guiyi school has learned their kung fu, while the Guiyi school thinks that the Lingxiao school has been dominant for many years, so they can't see other schools surpassing themselves.

The two sides were arguing, whether the Guiyi faction had learned Ling Xiao's kung fu, the two sides have not yet argued clearly, in short, the relationship is not harmonious, and it is true that they often compete.

The origin of this matter is still in Jiang Rong.

It was just now that Jiang Rong had attracted so much attention, and he even brought the entire Qizong to show off in front of people. He was led by the deacon disciples of Nanze Mountain and entered the mountain gate.

This was the first time he came to a big occasion outside his own sect since he joined the immortal sect, so he was naturally very excited.

After the enchantment behind the mountain gate was opened, he was first dazzled by a golden light, and then he saw the bright sun, the palace, the sacred magnificence, and the beauty, against the snow, it looked like a fairy palace.

Jiang Rong was stunned unconsciously, and sighed: "There is such a precious land in the world, it is really an eye-opener. I am afraid that the rumored Zhaoxia Wonderland, which is rich in the world, is nothing more than this!"

Others were also surprised or sighed, and a disciple said beside him: "This is also the most beautifully decorated palace in the treasure mountain I have seen in my life. I don't know how beautiful the secret place on the top of the mountain will be."

Another person said with a smile: "The secret realm is not accessible to ordinary people like us, but Senior Brother Jiang may still have a chance."

Since the news of Jiang Rong's murder of Shu Lingjia got out, his prestige in the sect has been greatly damaged, and many disciples have stopped interacting with him.

But there are also a small group of people, seeing the protection of the head of the sect and Jiang Rong's superb ability just now, they still flatter and flatter them.

Jiang Rong was about to speak, but at this moment, he heard the wind blowing loudly, a transparent wind blade approached in a blink of an eye, coming straight towards his face.

"Ding--"

Shocked, Jiang Rong raised his sword to block without thinking. Amidst the buzzing sound, the wind blade shattered, revealing a silver hairpin in the middle.

I saw that the silver hairpin collided with Jiang Rong's sword blade, and immediately flew back into the air in a whirl, and instantly gathered the surrounding wind into a whirl, turned into sharp blades again, and scattered them like rain towards the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect.

Yin Chen was next to him, because he felt nervous when he saw Jiang Rong, and stayed a little far away from him. He didn't react when the wind blade attacked for the first time.

At this time, seeing that all the disciples in this sect were being attacked indiscriminately, he sneered, raised his hand and threw out a Surging Wave Talisman.

This is an extremely precious high-level talisman, and only Yin Chen's background can use it indiscriminately.

The talisman shattered in mid-air, and suddenly the water dragon swept across the sky, and the waves surged. The crystal water color was extremely eye-catching under the sun.

Under such a situation, a figure in a blue Taoist robe was forced by Yin Chen to reveal his real body.

He landed his imperial sword on the ground, and after retracting the sword, he glanced lightly at Ling Xiao and everyone, and sneered.

This person's appearance is fairly handsome, but his cheeks are thin and his expression is gloomy. He was born with a provocative face, and there is a look of pride in his eyes.

He said: "I don't know who it is. It turns out that it is Prince Yin of the Lingxiao Sect. No wonder he is so rich and powerful, and he can only rely on talismans to win. Why, your sect is looking for trouble today?"

When the disciples of the Qi sect heard that he was so confounding black and white, they were all pissed off and refuted one after another.

"You were the one who made the sneak attack first, but you still have the nerve to accuse others?"

"It's too overbearing, who are you?!"

"How can you talk nonsense with your eyes open!"

The man said: "I don't know who turned black and white, it was obviously the disciples of your Qi sect who insulted Zhaoxia Wonderland first, so I punished you a little bit, but you guys started to quarrel!"

At this time, Yin Chen just said lightly: "Qi Guangya, if you want to compete, you can just speak up, why bother to find these excuses."

Hearing the name "Qi Guangya", Jiang Wei was slightly startled and remembered the identity of the other party.

He understood why this person suddenly appeared, and he still wanted to hold on to the sentence he said.

This Qi Guangya also became famous at a young age, and his family has a long history. His father is the leader of Qianping Peak of Guiyi School, and his mother was born in Zhaoxia Wonderland.

It is heard that Qi Guangya has practiced [-]% of the Guiyi school's unique technique "Wanjian Guiyi", and among the young disciples in the sect, he is already the best among the few.

However, Jiang Rong had also heard about it. It seemed that Qi Guangya's first defeat in his life was when he fought against Shu Lingjia when he was young and vigorous, but he broke his sword abruptly.

It can be seen from this that the Lingxiao faction and the Guiyi faction had been at odds for a long time, and there were serious conflicts. Just now, Jiang Rong accidentally mentioned Zhaoxia Wonderland, which naturally gave Qi Guangya a reason to find fault.

Jiang Rong knew that this was actually a grievance between sects, and what he said was just a raft to get ahead, so he cleverly kept silent, just shrank behind, allowing Yin Chen and others to argue with Qi Guangya.

At this time, the other disciples of the Guiyi faction also gathered around with their own swords.

The leading man was wearing a Taoist robe of the same color as Qi Guangya's.

He came to Qi Guangya and asked, "Junior Brother Qi, what happened?"

Qi Guangya smiled and said: "Senior brother, it's good if you come here. Just now I heard someone say something offensive to Zhaoxia Wonderland. I was not angry for a while, and I gave a small punishment. I thought it would be evened out. Then he took out the Shocking Wave Talisman."

He pointed to the talisman fragments on the ground, and sighed as if he had lingering fears: "It's fortunate that you arrived in time, otherwise I would be a little scared to be blocked by so many people from the Ling Xiao Sect."

Seeing that this scene is getting bigger and bigger, it is almost going to develop into a gang fight.

A lot of people gradually gathered to watch from afar, but no matter who they were, they didn't go up to persuade them to intervene.

Because the people who can come here are very clear in their hearts. On the surface, this seems to be a trivial dispute over a trivial matter, but it actually represents the temptation and contest between the two parties.

Test the opponent's confidence, strength, and attitude, and at the same time make corresponding deterrents and hints, which also determines what tactics they will adopt in the next official competition.

So they were arguing here, and the elders on both sides turned a blind eye, as if they hadn't seen anything, with a laissez-faire attitude.

Shu Lingjia was hidden among the crowd, and didn't speak, just watched silently.
