After Zhang Shaoyun left, the people watching on the cliff also knew that there was nothing more to watch, so they all went down the mountain and left.
The fight just now was truly extraordinary. Those monks who were not at a high level just watched the excitement, but a few monks at the Golden Core level began to secretly figure out how to verify the magical powers of the people on the top of the mountain with what they had learned.
somewhat gained
Luoying Island, which was originally bustling with activity, has lost its bustle in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there were only five people on the top of the mountain: Liang Yan, Ji Lai, Cang Yueming, Mo Haoran and Huangfu Qi.
Liang Yan looked at the direction Zhang Shaoyun was leaving and made up his mind that even if he joined Wushuang City in the future, he would never have any contact with this woman.
You know, today was just the first time we met, and I was almost tricked by this woman into giving her 20,000 spiritual stones!
Just when Liang Yan felt a little unhappy, Huangfuqi, who had just "bleeded heavily", walked over with a smile, cupped his hands towards the two of them and said, "My lord, Huangfuqi, what do you call these two fellow Taoists?"
"Liang Yan."
"Come on."
"It turns out it's Fellow Daoist Liang and Fellow Daoist Ji, I'm so glad to meet you!" Huangfu Qi chuckled, and then asked: "Both of them have strong magical powers, but I don't know which sect they came from, and where they came from.
A senior disciple?"
"Master Shen Sanchi." Ji said and pointed at Liang Yan, then said: "As for this one, he is a casual cultivator."
After Huangfuqi heard the words "Shen Sanchi", a light flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed and said:
"It turns out to be 'Fake Idiot but Not Mad' Shen Sanchi! Senior Shen's name is well known. Although Xiao Ke has lived in a remote place for a long time, he also knows that Senior Shen is a Confucian master, especially good at deducing arithmetic. I am afraid that he has been in arithmetic for nearly a hundred years.
No one can compare with me. I am honored to meet the descendants of Senior Shen today, and it is truly a worthwhile trip!"
His words were really flattering. Although Ji was not a vain person, it was somewhat useful to hear other people praise his teacher.
"Fellow Taoist Huangfu has received an award. His master's knowledge is profound, but Ji's knowledge is shallow. He didn't even get the true biography of my master. How can he dare to show his disgrace?"
Although Ji Lai said this, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Looking at his appearance, Liang Yan knew that Huangfu Qi had put what he said into his heart.
"Hahaha, Brother Ji is too modest. It is said that a tiger father has no sons, and a famous teacher makes a great disciple. Senior Shen has a great reputation, how can his disciples be so bad?"
When Huangfu Qi said this, his eyes turned and fell on Liang Yan again.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Liang, like me, was also a casual cultivator. It's not easy for us casual cultivators to cultivate. Only I know the hardships. If we can work together in Wushuang City in the future, we should get closer and closer."
After hearing this, Liang Yan raised his head and laughed loudly and said: "Fellow Taoist Huangfu is right, but the prerequisite is that he can pass this selection test. I heard that there are many masters in this test, so I will do this with my humble words.
Maybe he will be eliminated in a few seconds."
"Brother Liang is joking!" Huangfu Qi waved his hand and said: "I think Taoist friends are strong and strong, and even pure physical training may not have a body like yours. In addition, you are still a monk of the beast control style. This
You will definitely stand out in this selection test!”
When Liang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said nothing more.
"This Huangfuqi is not easy!"
This is what he has in mind.
Although Huangfu Qi had just paid 20,000 spirit stones for him, Liang Yan was a little wary of this person.
This person looks calm and upright, not only modest and gentlemanly, but also has a touch of boldness and righteousness, and his words are comprehensive.
When he came to boast, he would first praise his master, and when talking to himself, he would say that they were both casual cultivators to gain empathy. In the blink of an eye, the relationship between the two of them had been brought closer to him. This method alone was no longer enough.
Too vulgar.
Liang Yan is no longer the young boy who first joined Yixing Pavilion back then. No matter how friendly the other party is, he will not easily get to know him without getting to know him deeply.
At this time, seeing Huangfu Qi's show of kindness, he just smiled politely and did not talk much.
Huangfu Qi chatted for a while, then his eyes fell on Liang Yan's shoulder. Looking at Li Xiaosong who had turned into a white beast, he asked curiously: "Brother Liang, don't blame me for talking too much. This civet cat is really strange."
, I have also done a lot of research on some spiritual beasts within the territory of Wushuang City, why have I never heard of this species?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled noncommittally and said: "This is just a spiritual beast that I rescued casually in the secret realm. It is not a rare species. If fellow Taoist Huangfu is interested, why not go to that secret realm with me next time?
Do you want to take a look?"
Huangfu Qi was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he immediately realized what he was doing. He cupped his hands in embarrassment and said, "Forgive me, Fellow Daoist Liang. I was also curious just now. I didn't think much about it, so I opened my mouth and asked. I have indeed overstepped my bounds. Please don't go there, Fellow Daoist Liang."
Take it to heart."
He was naturally apologizing for this. You must know that for monks of the beast control style, it is taboo to ask about other people's magical powers and origins of spiritual beasts. This is tantamount to spying on other people's trump cards!
If you meet someone with a bad temper, you may get into a fight if you disagree with them.
Naturally, Liang Yan would not fall out on the spot, but as a "beast mastering monk", he naturally had to show off. When he heard Huangfu Qi's words of apology, he just got off the road, smiled and waved his hand:
"I believe that fellow Taoist Huangfu is outspoken. You just paid a fine of 20,000 spirit stones for me. I don't know how to thank you. How can I still blame you?"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liang, there is no need to say thank you. It's only 20,000 spirit stones. It's my great fortune to have friends like Fellow Daoist Liang and Fellow Daoist Ji, Huangfu Qi. The spiritual stones I spent are not unfair at all!"
Huangfu Qi laughed and patted his chest as he spoke, looking proud and proud.
At this time, Cang Yueming and Mo Haoran also came over. The Confucian swordsman bowed deeply to Liang Yan and Ji Lai and said:
"Thank you two brothers for helping us. We were outnumbered at that time, but they were able to step forward regardless of their own safety. This chivalrous heart alone makes Cang admire you! If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time.
As long as I can help, Cang will never refuse!"
What he said was extremely sincere. Liang Yan smiled slightly. Before he could answer, Ji Lai had already rushed to speak: "Brother Cang, in fact, I don't need help later. I have a big matter now that I want to ask Brother Cang for help."
"Oh? What's the matter? Brother Ji, please tell me!" Cang Yueming said slowly.
"Brother Liang and I have signed up to participate in the selection and assessment of Wushuang City Disciples. Now we still need an ally to form a team. I have always admired Brother Cang's name before. We happened to meet here today. How about forming a team together?"
"this"
Cang Yueming frowned slightly and looked a little embarrassed.
After he pondered for a while, he said apologetically: "Brother Ji, what you are talking about is just a trivial matter. With the two brothers' support for each other today, Cang has no reason to refuse. It's just that I said it earlier.
, I have already agreed to the invitation to form a team from fellow Daoist Huangfu and Fellow Daoist Mo. As the saying goes, a gentleman’s word is more important than Mount Tai, but there is no way I can agree to the two of them to form a team again.”
"ah"
Ji Lai opened his mouth, a little surprised and speechless.
He didn't expect that after racking his brains and spending so much time searching for information, he would participate in another battle today, only to be defeated by someone else in the end!
"Sorry sorry!"
At this time, Huangfu Qi said with an apologetic look: "I have already met fellow Taoist Cang and fellow Taoist Mo half a year ago, and we have shared the same sorrows. We made a covenant at that time to participate in the selection of Wushuang City together.
Assessment.”
"good!"
Cang Yueming nodded and said, "When I was traveling around the world, I met Tong Lingzhong who massacred cities and villages and sacrificed the blood of mortal souls to refine treasures. I killed this man in anger."
"Later, I offended the Tong family because of this incident, and was surrounded and killed by a large number of masters sent by the Tong family. It happened that two Taoist friends passed by and helped me break out of the encirclement, and then I saved my life. And the reason why we want to join Wushuang
City, and because I was afraid that the Tong family would launch a more violent revenge, I gave up my free life as a monk and came to Wushuang City to seek refuge."
When Cang Yueming said this, he couldn't help but sigh softly. He was a loose man. After practicing, he liked to travel around the world, but he always liked to fight against injustice. He had offended many forces over the years.
Because he was a rogue cultivator with no roots, those forces who wanted revenge had no scruples at all. If it weren't for his superb swordsmanship and supernatural powers, he would have died long ago.
However, this kind of happy life came to an end after he offended Tong and Hao's family. Now, if he doesn't want to leave his hometown, he has no choice but to join Wushuang City and become a disciple of Wushuang City, so that he will not be afraid of the threats from Tong and Hao's family.
"Forgive me, fellow Taoists. When I got acquainted with Mo Haoran and Huangfuqi, we had already decided on an alliance to participate in the assessment together. There is really no way to agree to the request of these two fellow Taoists. How about Brother Ji?
Let’s change the request again. As long as Cang is within his ability and does not violate morality, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!”
"Can"
Ji Lai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but Liang Yan stopped him with his hand.
"No problem!"
Liang Yan smiled and said: "Since it is two fellow Taoists who have invited me, it is understandable that Brother Cang will keep his promise. Besides, Wushuang City has more than three places to recruit city disciples. Although we belong to two teams, it is possible that we can be recruited at the same time."
Once we enter the city, we can just have a drink and have a good time."
"Hahaha, Brother Liang is right!" Huangfuqi nodded and said: "We have made a friend this time. If we meet in the assessment in the future, there is no need to embarrass each other and target others.
As a team, maybe we can pass the test together."
"What Taoist fellow Taoist Huangfu said is absolutely true!"
Liang Yan laughed, then raised his hands to the three of them and said, "I am fortunate enough to meet three masters. It is truly a blessing in my life. I'll say goodbye today and see you again in the examination room!"
"Goodbye!"
Cang Yueming, Huangfu Qi, and Mo Haoran also clasped their fists and returned the salute.
Next, Liang Yan took Ji Lai, who was feeling a little unhappy in his heart, and walked down the mountain road, and soon left Luoying Island with the escape light.
The two returned to Tianxing Academy, and as soon as they entered their attic courtyard, Ji Lai shouted: "Liang Yan, why didn't you let me try again just now? You have also seen Cang Yueming's strength. As long as there is
If this person is in the team, passing the selection and assessment is almost a sure thing."
After hearing this, Liang Yan shook his head with a smile and said: "I see that Cang Yueming, a man who has made promises worth a thousand pieces of gold, is definitely not someone who will go back on his word at the last minute. No matter how many benefits you have prepared, there is no way that this person can break his previous promise."
.”
After hearing this, Ji Lai seemed to understand that what Liang Yan said was true, and there was a trace of annoyance in his eyes.
"Come on, I've been working in vain during this time! It's better for you to retreat in that attic every day and not care about finding allies. It's all on my own! Now that Cang Yueming's line has been ruined, even that
Mo Haoran, the 'Jiu Li Qian Kun' who ranks second among the top five casual cultivators, has also been taken in. Our chances of passing the assessment this time are slim."
"Mo Haoran? Is he the drunkard-looking monk just now?" Liang Yan recalled and pondered: "This person's strength is indeed not bad. Although it is much worse than Cang Yueming, it is better than Tong Gu, Hao Lianyun.
The direct descendants of this cultivation family are actually a bit more powerful!"
"Yes! Speaking of this, Mo Haoran is also a strange person!"
Ji Lai thought of the secrets he had found out and couldn't help but said: "It is said that in his early years he was just a down-and-out scholar in the secular world. Because he was dissatisfied with the corruption of the court, he was drunk all day long and slept longer than he was awake. One day,
He was having a sweet dream in his courtyard, when a man suddenly broke into his dream. Not only did he teach him a set of luck techniques, but he also directed him to find a secret in a cave. So Mo Haoran got this
After practicing the exercises and taking the treasure from the cave, he turned around and actually practiced all the way to the late stage of the Golden Elixir!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Liang Yan looked surprised and said with some amazement: "Sure enough, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and there are people who teach the Dharma in dreams. This is Mo Haoran who also had a great opportunity. He attained enlightenment in a dream. This is the first time I have heard of it!"
"Isn't it?" Ji Lai sighed and said: "In terms of Mo Haoran's strength, he should be ranked among the top five in this selection assessment. Unexpectedly, Cang Yueming and Mo Haoran actually joined the same team. The one named
Huangfuqi's boy is really lucky, I'm afraid he can get through it even if he lies down! As for us brothers, we are in danger this time."
Liang Yan felt frustrated when he heard what he said, and couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Brother Ji, why are you so frustrated? With the strength of the two of us, can't we just find an ally to pass?"
"With the strength of the two of us?"
Ji Lai glanced at his mouth and said: "You monster can barely deal with a late-stage Jindan monk. As for me, I can protect myself, and some small methods are also good to assist you, but if you want to defeat those powerful ones alone,
However, it is absolutely impossible to reach the later stage of Golden Core. If our last ally is too weak, we will definitely fail this test."
When he said this, he pondered for a moment, and then continued: "This is the end of the matter. Since the top two of the five casual cultivators have been poached, we can only try to find the third one!"
"Oh? Who is this number three?" Liang Yanqi asked.
