Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

After everyone got off the ladder, Elder Guan waved back the ladder.There were more than 120 people left in the martial arts arena, and there were only a few female disciples left. Almost half of them were eliminated in the first round.

Zhu Zhiling successfully passed the first round of tests. Her condition was no better than Lian Que's, she was covered in blood.Because she had been entangled with those big birds for a longer time, her clothes were all pecked to pieces by the beaks.

How could the disciples have imagined that a test would put them in such a mess, and the outer disciples were all cash-strapped, and few of them had such objects as storage bags.Even those with storage bags, due to long-term repairs behind closed doors, did not have the habit of keeping a set of clothes with them, so they all sat on the large lawn of the martial arts arena in a mess.

Because Lian Que went to Guixu not long ago, there was a set of clothes in the storage bag that he hadn't taken out.Originally, he planned to adjust his breathing for a while, so he chose a secluded place to change the tattered robe on his body.But seeing Zhu Zhiling's ragged clothes, he thought how inconvenient it would be for a woman and how indecent it would be to walk around like this in front of others, so he didn't think much, took out the outer robe from the storage bag and put it on Zhu Zhiling.

Zhu Zhiling had just come down and hadn't recovered his vitality yet. Seeing his friend walking towards him, he silently put on a robe for himself.Looking at himself again, the whole body of the robe was scratched in a mess, his face turned red, and he felt a little uncomfortable, "Thank you, what should you do?"

Lian Que teased, "I'm a man, so I'm afraid of being watched?"

The two smiled at each other.

Wen Haoran in the stands felt amused when he saw those two people, "I didn't expect the boy I fancy to be a kind and gentle gentleman."

After everyone adjusted their breath for an hour, the second round of testing began.At this time, a golden core stage female cultivator came up. This female cultivator has good features and beautiful eyes, and is tall. She said, "All disciples, please sit in the center of the martial arts arena. The second test begins now."

All the disciples came to the center of the martial arts arena one after another and sat down cross-legged.

Then the Jurchen came to the sky above the Martial Arts Field, and with bare hands, she pinched out a complicated formula, and pulled out a white silk gauze that she carried with her. The air was filled with smoke, and she couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly.All the disciples were shrouded in the sudden smoke, and they were a little at a loss, and they put out a protective wall one after another.The Jurchen summoned a white cloud and sat down slowly, took out a radiant Yaoqin from the dantian, moved it with both hands, and sang along with the rhythm in her mouth, the rhythm was fast and slow, high and low, For a while, it is melodious, like a whisper, which makes people's hearts flutter;This is the sound attack method of the Shangqing sect. It was sent out by a Jindan Daoist in the sect with [-]% of his cultivation base, in order to test the xinxing of the disciples.

It turns out that this Jurchen is good at using the method of sound attack to create illusions, making people addicted to demons.A person with a firm mind will be able to overcome the demonic obstacles in his heart and break free, while a person who is blindly immersed in it will find it difficult to achieve the Dao.Shangqingmen used this method to test the disciples, and it also allowed the disciples to see clearly their inner demons during the test, so that they could overcome them in the future practice.

The disciples sitting below all entered the illusion at this time.

……

Zhu Zhiling didn't know what the second round of testing was, and just wanted to see through the mist.She walked out of the mist following the wailing, and saw a courtyard with green tiles and red walls. The cry seemed to come from the courtyard, and it was only after she walked in that she realized that it was a girl of seven or eight years old.The little girl was sallow and thin, with bruises all over her body.She had barely entered the early stage of Qi refining, and her aura was mixed. At first glance, she was a child with many spiritual roots and poor aptitude.

At this time, a group of teenagers came over, both men and women, all in the middle stage of Qi refining.The spiritual roots of these children are obviously better than hers.When everyone saw the withdrawn child, they all began to ridicule and abuse him.

"You, a lowly girl who came from a side room, are also worthy to practice with the Patriarch."

"Daughter is despicable, and mother is even more despicable. It must be your lowly mother who did some nasty deeds, and the Patriarch let you come here."

"You bastard, you are such a three-spiritual root, do you still want to be famous in the future? Even if you practice, you are just a life to fill the house. I will ask my father to send you out to some master to collect supplements."

……

……

The foul language is getting worse and worse.

Surrounded by the group of children, the little girl could only cower and endure in silence, powerless to fight back.

At this time, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes came over upon hearing the sound.His face was serious and seemed decent.The children stood with their heads bowed when they saw everyone coming, and said, "Hello, Patriarch." The Patriarch nodded, and took out the little girl surrounded by him, and shouted indiscriminately, "You bitch, don't you?" Cultivate hard, don’t cause trouble for me, and punish you not to eat today, go and clean the lecture hall, and you are not allowed to go back to the house if you don’t finish your work!" After finishing speaking, he carried her all the way to the lecture hall.

Standing behind the group of people, Zhu Zhiling's eyes were bloodshot and red.Who is that little girl?Isn't it just my young self?

At that time, she was in a family of little cultivators, and because of her poor qualifications and being a concubine, she suffered all kinds of bullying and exclusion. Except for her mother, she didn't feel any care from others.

——I'm going to follow up now and beat them all to death to vent my hatred!

Thinking so, Zhu Zhiling rushed forward, intending to beat the group of people severely.

At this moment, her mind was very chaotic, and a murderous thought lingered in her heart, which could not be dispelled.But when she rushed in front of the group of people, she was startled for a moment, and thought to herself, "I am an adult, and the little girl in front of me is just my past. What I saw before is just a memory in my heart. I am not in a martial arts arena Do you want a second test?"

——I'm afraid I've entered the illusion, which aroused the old hatred, Zhu Zhiling pondered.This must be the obsession in my heart that will breed in the illusion. I have to eliminate the interference and guard the altar to break free.

Thinking of this, she let go of the distracting thoughts in her heart, and used her true energy to guard the Lingtai.

……

The people on the stand quietly watched the group of outer disciples sitting in the center of the Martial Arts Arena. Some of them looked angry, some looked sad, some were covered with a faint murderous aura, and some were trembling as if they were frightened... Everyone is trapped by the devil in their own hearts, revealing the appearance of all living beings.

At this time, Elder Guan, who was in charge of the previous round of testing, walked up to Mo Yunhua from the other side, leaned down and whispered, "Junior Brother Mo, can we talk?"

Mo Yunhua glanced sideways at the person, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"What do you think of that little girl?" As he spoke, Guan Pingtao pointed to a female cultivator in the martial arts arena. It turned out to be Guan Tianyun.

Mo Yunhua looked at Guan Tianyun calmly, and said, "This goddess looks quite calm. Looking at her demeanor, she is a person with a firm mind."

When Guan Pingtao heard Mo Yunhua's affirmation, there were two smile lines at the corners of his eyes, which softened his rigid and majestic face, "Tianyun is my niece, my little girl is not talented, so it's good to be favored by Junior Brother Mo." Her luck. Yun'er is my only family member in this world, I am here to ask for favors for her, I hope she passes this round of tests, and my junior can accept her as a disciple."

Mo Yunhua remained expressionless, "Why didn't senior brother take her into his sect?"

"Junior brother should know that I'm too busy with mundane affairs in the sect and don't have that much time. Yun'er has very good aptitude. Like my junior brother, she has a single water spirit root, and I have a golden spirit root. In comparison, it's better for her to be taught under my junior disciple's door." The younger brother is a hero of my generation, and others can't look up to you. Wouldn't it be better if you took in the little girl than I taught her myself? And my niece has always admired the style of the younger brother, and she wholeheartedly wants to be under the younger brother's school. I have said it many times, so I came here to say something on her behalf, and made my junior laugh." Guan Pingtao said kindly, he has been an elder in the deacon hall for so many years, and he has accumulated a lot of power. When did he let go of his airs like this? Have flattered others?

Mo Yunhua turned a deaf ear to this flattery and did not respond, his eyes were still quietly watching the movements in the martial arts arena.

Guan Pingtao knew that this talented junior was withdrawn, seeing that he didn't say anything, he thought that he had acquiesced in the matter of apprenticeship, and walked away happily.

Seeing the huge difference in the expressions of the two, Wen Haoran understood, and sneered at the direction Guan Pingtao was walking back.

How would the disciple who was testing under the conversation on the stage know?

Lian Que was trapped by the illusion at the moment. After waking up from the mist, his eyes hurt sharply, and he was shocked when he looked carefully.He found that his eyes were blood red, and from time to time, traces of black magic energy leaked from his pupils.

His mind was a little confused, and he saw a gentle and beautiful woman walking in front of him, who turned out to be Baguio.

"Auntie, what's wrong with my eyes?" Seeing Bi Yao, Lian Que finally felt more at ease.

But the woman's face was cold, and she shook off his hand, "You monster, why are you so close to me, hurry up and stay away from me, I don't know you!"

"Auntie, why don't you know me?" Lian Que felt a throbbing pain in his heart, seeing Bi Yao's figure disappearing into the mist in the blink of an eye, he was very dazed.

At this time, another person came, it was Zhu Zhiling, she looked dull, and when she saw Lian Que, she yelled, "Monster, you are so bold, why did you appear at the Shangqing Gate! Hurry up and leave, or I will call the teacher in the gate to die!" you go!"

"Zhi Ling, I'm your friend Lian Que, don't you recognize me, I'm not a monster!"

"You are not a monster. Look at your red pupils. Who else are you trying to deceive? I used to be too innocent to trust you. You are not my friend at all." Zhu Zhiling pushed him bitterly. , ran out.

Before Lian Que recovered from Zhu Zhiling's words, he heard a loud shout in the mist, "Idiot, you are a troublesome devil, my ancestor killed you right here today!"

Patriarch Chisong stretched out a giant palm from the air, and grasped Lian Que tightly in his palm.

Lian Que said angrily, "Senior, why are you so unreasonable?"

"It's reasonable to talk to monsters. If I see one, I'll kill one. If I see two, I'll kill one pair. Have you seen that green dragon? I've already wiped him out. You can forget about cultivating demons by yourself, but you still recognize it." Demon father, what?!"

Lian Que lowered his head and saw that there was a huge green flood dragon's body lying on the ground, who could it be if it wasn't Liu Yun?

He cried bitterly, "Although my father is a demon cultivator, he has always been pure-hearted and ascetic, and has never thought of killing. How can you be so indiscriminate and kill at will? How is your state of mind perfect when you commit this murder?"

"Huangkou kid dares to speak nonsense in front of my patriarch, let me see if I will destroy you monster on the spot."

At this moment, another person floated in the mist, and it was Mo Yunhua.He looked cold, but turned a blind eye when he glanced at this side.

"Mo Zhenjun, Mo Zhenjun..." Lian Que begged.

Seeing his life and death, Mo Yunhua remained indifferent, and said indifferently, "I don't know a monster like you." Then he floated away.

Lian Que felt extremely sad in his heart, the people closest to him in this world abandoned him one after another, and his father also died, how can he deal with himself?

The power in the Chisong Patriarch's hand was getting stronger and stronger, and he vowed to crush his body.

... If you die, you die, right?He thought to himself, there is nothing in this world that I want to miss. My friends, relatives, and teachers have all left me...

Just when he was dying, a clear light suddenly flashed in his mind, no, I have already eradicated my eye disease at the top of Qinglian Peak, and it is impossible for my friend and teacher to leave me like this.Now, my heart is already clear, only to pursue the Dao.He remembered the scriptures he heard in the lecture hall that day, "Forget things and see by yourself, forget to listen and hear by yourself, then the spirit will not be disturbed and the form will not be evil."

...I must have walked into the illusion, sunk into the inner demons...

—— At this time, you should hold on to your spirit and stabilize your mood.

Thinking of this, he sank his spiritual consciousness into his dantian, and twitched a bit of spiritual power to circulate slowly around his body. Sure enough, he suddenly felt that the Lingtai was clear, and the fog around him slowly dissipated.He opened his eyes and stood up, and found that he was still in the center of the martial arts arena. In the midair, the Jurchen was playing her Yaoqin. Some people on the ground had already woken up. He saw that Zhu Zhiling's expression was clear, and he was afraid Woke up before myself.Lian Que shot out a beam of real energy to cover his body tightly, preventing the melody from disturbing his mind again.

Just wait for the Jurchen in the air to sing, and there are still many monks who are still immersed in their own demons and cannot extricate themselves.Only 62 people woke up.

The Jurchens took back the white veil that they had shot out before, and sprinkled a handful of nectar into the air. Those monks who were still struggling immediately opened their eyes with shame on their faces.

The second round of tests ended in this way, and the remaining [-] or so people could enter the inner door, and only waited for the last competition to learn from the teacher.
