Chapter 229: Leave most of them, the giant goose swallows people
An inexplicable voice rang out, causing a sudden uproar above the Immortal Urn Altar. Everyone was talking to each other. Even the Taoist disciples who had no idea what the "survival assessment" was about immediately understood it, and their expressions changed drastically.
More than half of the people had a look of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
And immediately, a Taoist hurriedly packed up his things and shouted to the person next to him: "Give way, give way! Let me borrow it."
The direction they set out for was none other than the Immortal Urn Altar.
The assessment of the Taoist Palace is not mandatory only after registering. You can also skip the exam directly. However, any Taoist has only three opportunities to skip the exam in his life. Regardless of any reason, if he fails to register three times, he will not be able to take the exam.
The palace is out of luck.
The first batch of Taoist priests to leave were very obvious among the people who applied for the exam.
And the voice that rang in everyone's minds stopped reciting after reciting it three times, as if it was waiting for the unsteady Taoist priest on the altar to retreat.
Yu Lie fell among them and noticed with sharp eyes that the first batch of people who retreated were basically older, especially all the Taoists who had previously shouted for business at the altar.
It was obvious that this group of people came to take the Dao Palace exam without much confidence at all, and now they all retreated as soon as they heard that the exam was difficult.
Under the influence of this group of Taoists, the faces of the young Taoists on the altar were very surprised, and some of the timid ones also receded. The number of Taoists on the entire altar disappeared by 30% in an instant!
The altar, which was originally a bit crowded, suddenly became more relaxed, allowing everyone to breathe.
But no one was in the mood to care about this at the moment. When the people who were supposed to leave had almost left, the noisy scene became a little calmer, and someone at the scene calmed down and shouted:
"Dare to ask the palace, which foreign world is this experience in?"
"Please also ask the Taoist Palace to inform me of the training location!"
Many Taoist priests fell into the crowd, croaking like roosters.
The reason for this is that in the entire Immortal Urn Altar, except for the Taoists they were referring to, there were no other Taoists present, and no one could ask questions.
The ghosts and gods used to maintain order outside the altar were just like stone puppets, standing frozen with their eyes closed, hanging far away outside the altar.
The voices at the scene were getting louder and louder, and Yu Lie himself was curious about the foreign world he was going to for this round of assessment.
If the foreign world he chose was really dangerous, he would rather give up this opportunity to take the test and save his life.
"Sister-in-law is right. Although the assessment is important, life is more important. Even with the Dao Palace's signature guarantee, if something goes wrong during the assessment, there is nothing you can do but regret."
Yu Lie calmly sorted it out in his mind: "Besides, even if the loss rate of an assessment is not high, it is controlled below 10%. But people can survive, but it does not mean that there will be no sequelae."
This is something Yu Lie gradually realized and became extremely suspicious of after being reminded by his sister-in-law Luo Sen.
It should be noted that before becoming a sixth-grade Taoist priest, both the body and the soul of a Taoist cannot be damaged easily. Even if the immortal way is strange and has many miraculous arts, if the innate limbs are incomplete, it is difficult to repair, and it will increase the path a lot.
twists and turns.
The female Taoist Miaomu is a typical example.
The other party just broke an arm, which destroyed her potential. She was reduced from a very talented person to an ordinary Taoist, forcing her to change her temperament, and she had to restrain her temper and work hard.
The Taoists' voices became louder, and at the end, the Taoists present began to repeat in unison:
"Respectfully request the Taoist Palace to inform you of the location of the assessment!"
The sound was buzzing and deafening.
Even faintly, Yu Lie and others heard distant noises coming from other directions during the interval of reciting, as if someone somewhere was shouting loudly again.
This situation is possible. Although the Dao City is large, the inner city is not large, and the area where the Dao Palace Mountain Gate is located is even smaller. In addition, there are tens of thousands of Taoists on each altar.
If you have magical power and repeat it in unison, the sound can ring half of the inner city.
The recitation sounded loudly, and the fairy urn, which was as golden as the sun, landed on everyone's heads, swaying gently, as if an invisible big hand was moving it.
At this time, finally another voice sounded in everyone's mind:
"Imperative: Anyone who passes this test, regardless of heel or leg, can enter the Taoist Palace."
The sound of this order caused many people's complexions to change slightly, with different expressions.
Everyone waited for another sound to come out of the immortal jar, but the immortal jar returned to a still state again, stopped moving, and did not answer anyone's questions.
The quiet crowd on the altar immediately began to sway again, and another group of Taoists hurriedly walked to the bottom of the altar as if their soles were oiled.
Although the second voice did not answer everyone's words directly, it also proved from the side that the next assessment location would not be a good place, it must be extremely dangerous.
For example, next to Yu Lie, among the fat and thin father and son, the fat father murmured:
"Although the Dao Palace assessment does not pay attention to the details on the surface, in fact, it pays special attention to it. The Dao City aborigines who enter the Dao Palace are far better than the non-Dao City aborigines... Now the Dao Palace directly speaks, as long as they pass
You can pass the test. From this point of view, this test must not be easy!"
As the other party spoke, he looked at the Taoists around him who were retreating to the altar, with a look of hesitation on his face, and said in a low voice: "If you keep the green hills here, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Why don't we retreat too, so that we can learn more in the past year?"
But this man's son had a look of perseverance on his face: "Dad! So, this test is exactly the opportunity I've been waiting for. As long as I pass the test, I can enter the palace!"
As he spoke, the fat man saw that his son was so determined. Although the hesitation on his face was still there, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Well, since my son insists, dad will accompany you. You and I, father and son, are in the same place.
It's also rare to have a round, and dad happened to protect you a little during the assessment."
Except for the father and son who insisted on staying to take part in the assessment, beside Yu Lie there were friends who had been chatting warmly with each other but suddenly parted ways, and men and women who had seemed to be in love with each other suddenly became strangers to each other.
Under such critical choices, everyone either stays or goes, and their choices are different.
Yu Lie was among them, looking at the passing crowd of people. He hesitated on his face, but after shaking his body, he finally stood still and did not get off the Immortal Urn Altar.
This year is the year when he is about to turn eighteen. If he misses this opportunity, it will be more difficult to enter the Taoist Palace every other year in the future.
Moreover, he has retreated this year. Even if he passes the exam this year, the risk of being dismissed from that palace may increase.
This was not something that Yu Lie was worried about blindly, but something that his sister-in-law Luo Sen emphatically mentioned in her notes. The other party told Yu Lie that even if there was no hope in the assessment, he must still stabilize his Taoist mind and not be unscrupulous.
Not to mention doing insidious and harmful actions openly.
Of course, another reason why Yu Lie chose to stay where he was was that after many Taoists on the altar left, half of the Taoists were still standing on the altar and did not leave.
Yu Lie glanced around and judged in his heart:
"There are nearly ten thousand people at the altar here alone. Even if the assessment is dangerous, if these many people end up in a foreign land, the Dao Palace will certainly provide certain protection. I will follow the trend and win a handful!"
Yu Lie was thinking so optimistically, but some Taoists at the scene didn't think so.
Many Taoist priests who had not originally planned to step down saw that in just two sentences, most of the people who were referring to him had left in a panic, and they couldn't help but panic and took steps forward.
The immortal talisman hanging high above the altar remains motionless, like an indifferent eye, quietly watching everyone.
When the time reached three quarters to noon, a chuckle suddenly sounded from above the altar:
"Haha, very good! There are still nearly half of the people left here, so it's easy for poor people to make friends."
This chuckle was different from the indistinguishable male and female voice just now, it was filled with a joking and human flavor.
The other party also shouted: "It's three quarters past noon and if you still want to go down, just get out quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to regret it later."
When these words were heard, several Taoists who were milling around the altar heard them and jumped down.
The Taoists who chose to stay on the altar followed the sound and found that at some point, a Taoist riding a "white crane" appeared in the sky above everyone, flying around the immortal urn.
The "white crane" had wide wings and flew around, making a sharp chirping sound. It had a mouth of fine teeth, which made Yu Lie vaguely feel familiar.
Taoist Heshang is wearing a moon-white Taoist robe. His face is like that of a child, his hair is pale, and his mouth is cinnabar.
He held a white jade Ruyi in his hand and called out: "Pindao White Goose, fellow Taoists, please follow Pindao and take you to take part in the assessment!"
The cry rang out, and the Taoists present heard it and rushed to raise their hands: "See the Taoist Master!"
"I've met the Taoist priest!"
Among them, Yu Lie, who had some knowledge, was stunned for a moment after hearing the words "White Goose". He looked at the "White Crane" the opponent was riding, and Digu thought: "Is this spiritual bird a goose and not a crane?
"
Then they realized that the person who came was a sixth-grade Taoist priest!
Because according to the regulations of the Taoist court, only sixth-grade Taoist priests can have a real Taoist title and be named with the word "子".
For those below the sixth grade, even if they have a Taoist name with a serious name, it is just a nickname.
The white goose appeared, and strong winds suddenly blew around the Xianlu Altar, making the nearly ten thousand Taoist disciples feel like they were floating under their feet, as if they were about to rise with the wind.
The other party was riding a goose like a crane, swinging his sleeves and robes, laughing loudly: "Go, go!"
Such a scene made everyone, including Yu Lie, think that the other party was going to use powerful magic, causing nearly ten thousand people at the scene to stand up and follow the wind into the so-called assessment entrance of the other party.
Many people yearn for it: "A sixth-grade Taoist priest has such great magical power!"
"I must become this Taoist priest."
But the next moment, the goose the other party was riding opened its mouth, and its body grew in size in mid-air. In a few blinks, it was as big as a mansion. It was so fat and huge that it blocked the sky and blocked out the sun at noon.
It was blocked tightly.
The shadow pressed down, and what shocked everyone even more was that the giant goose lowered its long and thick neck, continued to open its mouth, and its throat was like an abyss, making a whirring sound.
"What does this mean?!" The Taoist disciples, who were already sloppy in their steps, were surprised.
Many people staggered, and suddenly they flew straight into the mouth of the giant goose, like falling onions.
The wind is howling!
The giant goose breathed in and ate the people on the altar.
In just one breath, hundreds of Taoists flew into the mouth of the giant goose at a very fast speed, but the opponent's belly did not bulge at all.
The expressions of those Taoists who were originally excited suddenly changed, and they were both shocked and suspicious.
Even a Taoist disciple like Yu Lie, who had seen big scenes, had hesitation in his eyes, looking at the throat of the giant goose, wondering whether he should go in or not.
But they had no choice. After thousands of people were sucked in, the white goose standing on the goose's head knocked the giant goose's head with the white jade Ruyi in his hand and shouted:
"Slow down, slow down."
Immediately, the giant goose no longer just sucked and breathed, but grabbed the goose's head, and bit towards everyone with its head flashing. Maybe the giant goose didn't use the strength properly and bit people, and there were screams from Taoists at the scene.
Ringing repeatedly.
Yu Lie and others did not dare to hesitate and quickly threw themselves into the mouth of the giant goose.
So a few breaths later, there was no one left on the altar with nearly ten thousand people spread out. There were only debris on the ground and a ferocious white goose as huge as a mansion.
The Taoist on the goose blew lightly towards the altar to clear it, and then knocked on the head of the white goose.
Hey, hey!
The crane chirped again, becoming louder and quieter.
The giant goose returned to the size of an ox or horse. It held the Taoist and circled in mid-air.
I saw the immortal urn suspended in mid-air shaking again, and a portal faintly emerged from it.
The Taoist priest riding a white goose circled and immediately flew into it. The huge immortal altar was completely empty, with no one left.
Only those Taoist disciples who chose to climb off the altar looked up at the bottom of the altar, looking surprised and wondering what happened on the stage. Did they avoid it or miss it?
After Yu Lie and others entered the belly of the giant goose, they suddenly felt that their bodies were upside down, swaying from side to side, and there were screams, screams, and calls for friends, which was a mess.
Among them, Yu Lie didn't wait for himself to stand firm, and he quickly blessed himself with another talisman. He also held the Sun Gold Talisman that his sister-in-law gave him tightly in his hands.
Just when they were passing by the mouth of the giant goose, Yu Lie was unlucky and passed between the sharp teeth of the giant goose.
Fortunately, he had noticed something was wrong before and had cast a protective charm on his body. In addition, his physical body was also strong, otherwise he might have been like those screaming Taoists, and his intestines were cut directly by the sharp teeth of the giant goose.
His belly was rotten and his limbs were broken.
In the darkness, it was so dark that you couldn't see any fingers, and there seemed to be a strange mist shrouding it.
The Taoists continued to roll and spin in the belly of the giant goose, and their consciousness began to blur, unaware of the passage of time.
But slowly, a little bit of golden light, like fireflies or stars, lit up in the darkness. It was so dense that even the strange fog couldn't suppress it.
This light ignited from the foreheads of nearly ten thousand Taoists.
The Taoist altars in everyone's spiritual platform emerge on their own, with dragon energy flowing in and out, connecting with each other.
Only one line of writing appeared in everyone's Taoist scriptures:
Edict!
To the west of the big boundary, there is Mustard Seed Yan. Its boundary is small and drifts in. Taoists are not allowed to enter.
There are beasts in the world that eat human souls, take incense and incense, call themselves Dragon Court, slander immortals and destroy Taoism.
Hereby descend to immortals to support the road, cut down mountains and destroy temples, in order to rectify the Qingming Festival.
