Celestial Master [Rebirth]

【22】

Lin Xi followed the brothers and sisters to the area where the disciples of the Sanqing Sect were staying. Not long after, a majestic bell rang, and the originally lively hall immediately fell silent.

An elder of the Qianyuan Gate stood up and said, "Welcome everyone to come to the 264th Qing Dynasty Banquet. Now I will announce the rules of the competition."

The Taoist Qing Dynasty Banquet has lasted for hundreds of years. Each year, the Qing Dynasty Banquet is held by different sects, and the rules of the competition are also different.

Lin Xi really likes Qianyuanmen's style of doing things, it's so simple and there's not so much lengthy nonsense.

"There are a total of 64 checkpoints in this year's Qingyong Banquet, and the difficulty increases step by step. The more difficult it is, the competition method is also very simple. The first one to successfully pass the checkpoint will be the winner."

After the words of the elders of the Qianyuan Gate fell, there were whispers of conversation below.

"64 levels? So many?"

"Aren't you playing with us?"

The elder who announced the rules of the competition continued: "In addition, the duration of this competition is ten days. There are food and water sources in the competition venue. You can find them by yourself."

As soon as these words came out, the hall exploded even more.

"Ten days? So long?"

"God, I'm going to die in it."

Although the people who came to the Qingyong Banquet were carefully selected disciples from various sects, they were all teenagers, and when they went out to eliminate ghosts occasionally, they were also accompanied by elders, so there was no danger.

In this competition, there are no elders to rely on, and there are all kinds of dangers around.For ten days, everything has to be faced by oneself, which is a great test of one's character.

The teenagers who participated in the competition were frowning, "I heard that last year was very abnormal, but this year it is even worse. No, I have to give up the competition."

"If you are not afraid of being broken by your master, just give up."

"Huh."

After listening to the rules, Qin Fang smiled and said, "This game is quite interesting."

"Quiet." The elder who announced the rules raised his arms, "Don't worry, the ghosts arranged by the game are definitely within your capabilities."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the elder continue: "Of course, no one can guarantee absolute safety. Here are some life-saving things for you."

"What is it?"

The teenagers in the hall looked over curiously, and saw that there was an extra talisman paper in the man's hand.

"If you really can't hold on, if you burn this talisman, you can leave the arena. Of course, doing so will also be regarded as giving up the game."

The elder looked around, "Okay, if there is no objection, come up and get the talisman paper."

After the talisman papers were distributed, the participating teenagers returned to their original places. They were talking with their friends. Before they finished speaking, they suddenly felt a blur in front of their eyes. When they came back to their senses, the scene in front of them had changed.

Lin Xi opened her eyes, and saw that the environment she was in was no longer the brightly lit Qianyuan Gate, but a wilderness.

A full moon hangs in the sky, under the cold moonlight, there are stretches of deserted tombs in the distance.

The leaves whirled in the evening wind, Lin Xi glanced around, he was the only one here, presumably everyone was scattered.

The feast of cleaning up ghosts was both a competition and a trial, Lin Xi walked towards the cemetery without hesitation.It was silent here, except for the humming of the wind, there was only the sound of Lin Xi's footsteps.

Lin Xi soon came to the grave and heard Qin Fang say, "According to my experience, this is a good place for ghosts to scare people."

As soon as Qin Fang finished speaking, a female ghost rushed out from the side and rushed towards Lin Xi.

I saw that female ghost with disheveled hair, covered in blood, one eyeball had protruded from the socket, her death was extremely miserable and horrific, if ordinary people were here, they would be scared to death.

Lin Xi's expression didn't change, and she kicked her foot. Hearing a scream from the female ghost's mouth, Lin Xi took her away the next moment.

Although Lin Xi could transform these ghosts, it would consume a lot of power, and the purpose of his trip was not for the competition.

After the figure of the female ghost disappeared, something appeared on the ground.Qin Fang said with a smile: "Fighting monsters and returning equipment, the designer of this game has a lot of ideas."

Lin Xi picked it up, held it in his hand and looked carefully, "It's the map leading to the next level, but it's not complete."

Qin Fang said: "It's really not in vain to praise them, there are quite a lot of tricks."

Only by removing enough ghosts in this game can a complete map be pieced together.

Lin Xi hummed, and then heard a scream from a distance, "Oh my god, it's so ugly——"

Although the appearance of the ghosts in the first level is a bit more intrusive, it has almost no lethality. The young people who can be selected to participate in the banquet are not bad, and it is very easy to break through the first few levels.

For Lin Xi, these ghosts are not enough to watch, beating them is like playing, but the purpose of his trip is not for the competition.

Lin Xi was not in a hurry to break through, but followed the steps of most people.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Xi, like most people, came to Guan.He has been paying attention to the situation in the arena these days, and has not noticed anything unusual.

I don't know what method the people from Qianyuanmen used. The competition scene is all in the dark, not to mention eating, even when resting. their lives.

Except for some of these teenagers who didn't persevere and gave up the competition, the rest lost a lot of weight in just seven days.

However, after so many days, this group of teenagers also found some easier ways, that is to cooperate with each other and break through the barrier together.

At this time, these participating teenagers gathered together in groups of three or five. They had just experienced a fierce battle, and when they were tired, each team assigned one or two people to defend, and the rest took the time to rest and eat.

Lin Xi also joined the brothers and sisters of the sect.

The scene of Guan is not a wilderness cemetery, but an abandoned factory.

Lin Xi was resting against the wall when he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder. When he opened his eyes, he saw a senior sister from the same school handing him an apple.

"Junior Brother, here, it's been cleaned."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lin Xi took it with a smile, and was about to eat when she suddenly heard an angry voice from the team next to her.

"Zhang Mingxin, it's him again! You wait here, and I'll go and seek justice for you."

This roar attracted the attention of most people in the factory, and someone hissed: "Be quiet, don't attract ghosts."

"If you invite me, I will attract you, I will be afraid?" The man clenched his fists and said angrily, "Where is Zhang Mingxin? Get out!"

"Brother Lei, Zhang Mingxin should have entered the next level by now."

"Fuck, don't let me meet him!"

Lin Xi glanced over there and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister, what's going on?"

The girl who handed Lin Xi the apple said: "It seems that Zhang Mingxin snatched the map fragments from their team."

As the level of breakthroughs becomes higher and higher, the difficulty becomes more and more difficult. It becomes very difficult to collect a map, but even so, openly grabbing the map fragments that others have worked so hard to make People despise.

The girl frowned, and said in disgust: "This Mingxin is really too much, it's clearly taking advantage of the rules."

Lin Xi turned the apple in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, a dim light flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head and took a bite of the apple.

Someone from a team closer to Lin Xi said in a low voice: "That Zhang Mingxin is really annoying. Last time in City A, he snatched the ghost removal commission from my senior brother. It's really annoying."

Someone responded: "Use your strength to bully others."

"No matter what the situation is, the Zhang family is obviously going downhill now."

"Even if they're going downhill, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse."

Talking about this, the topic of those contestants obviously went off the rails.

One of them looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, this family's behavior can be regarded as restrained. In the past, when the prosperity was good, it was too much."

"Well, I remember that it was nine or ten years ago. The Zhang family almost took over the task of exorcising ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. I heard from the seniors that the Zhang family's tail was really going to the sky during that time." .”

"That's what it used to be, and the Zhang family of this generation can't do it anymore."

"Hey, tell me, how did the Zhang family get rid of so many evil spirits nine or ten years ago? I heard that those are evil spirits that all sects find troublesome."

"I'm really not sure about this. Could it be that the Zhang family has hidden some kind of secret weapon?"

Although those people deliberately lowered their voices, but Lin Xi had sharp ears and eyes, and could still hear their words clearly. He suddenly lost his appetite, and conveniently put the leftover half of an apple on the shelf beside him.

At this moment, a bluish-white hand stretched out, Lin Xi's expression remained unchanged, and an evil talisman immediately flew out.There was only a shrill scream, and everyone who had been resting immediately entered a state of preparation for battle.

"They broke in!"

"careful!"

"Good time." Several teenagers from Sanqingmen immediately surrounded Lin Xi, and the sweet-looking senior sister said, "The map is still a corner away."

Dozens of evil spirits poured in from the outside, and there were more and more postures, causing chaos in the factory for a while.

Some disciples were even injured, and the factory was filled with a faint smell of blood, which made the group of ghosts even more crazy.

After entering the road level, the difficulty of the game has increased significantly. Those who give up the game mostly give up from here.

"That won't work, there are just too many."

Lin Xi trampled an evil ghost under his feet, and said to his colleagues beside him: "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I have an idea. Let's work together. After dealing with these ghosts, we can work together to piece together a complete map and find the next one." The entrance to Level [-]."

"Okay, there is strength in numbers."

These few people were clear-headed and quickly agreed with Lin Xi's approach, one of them said, "I'll go over and tell them."

Lin Xi's proposal was approved by most people, but some people had doubts. They thought that Lin Xi and the others were just trying to lie to them about the map in their hands.

Qin Fang clicked his tongue and said in displeasure, "These kids really don't know what's good."

With Lin Xi's ability, plus him, not to mention just passing the level, it is not a problem to pass the level in one go.But Lin Xi was not in a hurry to break through the level. He chose to act with most people, which was not a bit slower.

Qin Fang thought of the news about the Qing Chong Banquet he had heard in his previous life, and knew that Lin Xi wanted to investigate this matter.

From this point of view, isn't it an accident that something happened at the Qing Chong Banquet in the previous life?

Lin Xi whispered back in her heart: "With Zhang Mingxin's incident before it, it is understandable for these people to be worried."

Qin Fang said: "I can't understand it, and I don't want to understand it." It's disgusting to doubt Lin Xi's character.

Lin Xi smiled, comforted Qin Fang in his heart, and suggested that everyone should select a trustworthy candidate, and each team would hand over the map fragments to that person, who would keep them.

There were still people who hesitated, and the senior sister of Sanqingmen who stood beside Lin Xi said: "Don't think about it, this level is getting more and more difficult, and there are still three days left, you are really confident that you can pass the next level within three days." Fourteen levels?"

What he said was very reasonable. The person who was hesitant stepped forward and said, "Okay, then we will cooperate. As for who will be the first to clear the level in the end, it depends on each individual's ability."

The total number of contestants in this abandoned factory is more than [-] people. They huddled together, cooperated with each other, and the efficiency was unexpectedly fast. Soon the map leading to the next level was spelled out.

Everyone simply treated the wounds, and then followed the map's guidance to the next level.

Someone on the road said: "You said that Zhang Mingxin is not very capable, how did he pass the test so smoothly?"

"Hey, no matter how you say it, the Zhang family is a family of exorcising ghosts. Zhang Zhishan assigned several people to his son this time, and they were all carefully selected from within the sect."

"It seems that the Zhang family is very concerned about this competition."

"For so many years, the Zhang family has not produced any outstanding figures. There is only one Zhang family in the Tianshi Association, and it is almost the age of retirement. Zhang Zhishan must be worried."

Lin Xi walked beside the team, listening to the words of these contestants, and at the same time Qin Fang's voice rang in his mind.

Qin Fang said: "It seems that this family is very unpopular in Xuanmen."

Lin Xi hummed, and Qin Fang said, "Why does Zhang Mingxin target you everywhere?"

"He and I..." Lin Xi paused before saying, "There were some conflicts a long time ago."

contradiction?

Qin Fang narrowed his eyes, he thought that this Mingxin was quite arrogant, he dared to bully Lin Xi.He was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Mingxin unobtrusively.

The closer to the final checkpoint, the more tense Lin Xi's mood became. He observed the surrounding environment, but did not notice Qin Fang's abnormal silence.
