The first thing Wu Xin did when he came back was to ask about Xiong Yue'er's injuries.
"Master's wife, I'm fine. I just had some chest tightness and air blockage just now. Thanks to Master for clearing my meridians, I'm much better now." Xiong Yuer'er replied softly.
"I hope you're okay. I saw you suddenly vomiting blood and thought you were possessed. But these bald donkeys were blocking you in the middle. If Liang Yan hadn't brought you back in time, I would have gone up the mountain." Wu Xin said bitterly.
.
She didn't have a good impression of Buddhist monks in the first place, and she was very unhappy when she was blocked again just now.
"Master Wife, please don't be impulsive. It's okay for Yue'er. Don't offend these eminent monks because of me."
"Humph, what eminent monk? I think they are just a group of old turtles that have lived for thousands of years!"
Wu Xin curled his lips indifferently, but said nothing more and stood quietly beside Liang Yan.
"My little disciple was naughty and accidentally broke the inheritance stone tablet of your sect. I, the master, will apologize to her. Fellow Taoist Daoist Dao You can ask for anything you want. As long as it is reasonable, Liang will definitely compensate you." Liang Yan
He said with a calm face.
After hearing what he said, Venerable Great Ku frowned slightly and said in deep thought: "This matter is a bit special. Please allow me to discuss it with my three junior brothers for a while. Fellow Daoist Liang will wait a moment."
"good."
Liang Yan nodded and said no more.
Venerable Da Ku turned around and summoned the three Venerables Fu Hu, Xuan Ye and Fu Hai in front of him. The four of them secretly communicated and discussed.
After a moment, the other three nodded slightly, seeming to have made a decision.
I saw Venerable Great Ku turning around, clasping his hands together, and slowly speaking:
"Although the stone tablet is precious, these are extraordinary times. We are all working together to fight against Beiming. In order not to destroy the alliance, the four of us decided not to pursue the matter of the broken stone tablet."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" Liang Yan said sincerely.
Venerable Da Ku shook his head, and then spoke: "Fellow Daoist Liang, please listen to what I have to say. Although we will not hold the disciple responsible for breaking the stone, we cannot let her pass the first round of the test."
"How do you say this?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows.
Venerable Mahaku sighed and said: "Although your disciple has a strong ability to understand Buddhism, she is born with a heart to reject Buddhism, which is contrary to the true meaning of Buddhism. She cannot understand the unique teachings of our sect, nor can she and Pudu
Golden Wheel' merges into one."
After hearing this, Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "She has already comprehended the ninth layer of the stone tablet, and nine groups of Buddha's light appeared above her head. Just because she blew up the stone tablet when she realized the last group of Buddha's light, don't you think so?"
Have you recognized her achievements?"
"It's not that we deny her achievements, but that she is incompatible with our Buddhist teachings. This is the nature hidden deep in her heart and cannot be changed. If she is forced to pass and get the 'Pudu Golden Wheel', it will make her go crazy.
Being possessed by a demon will really harm her then."
The one who answered Liang Yan was Venerable Fuhu. When Liang Yan and Wuxin rushed up to Futu Peak just now, three of the four great lords tried to stop them, but he was the only one who didn't take action.
When Liang Yan saw him speaking, he was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, Fuhu, I believe you! Since you said so, Xiong Yuer'er can be considered as abstaining from voting."
"Thank you Taoist Liang for your understanding." Venerable Great Ku put his hands together and chanted a Buddha's name.
Everyone at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but feel a little sad when they saw this scene.
You know, not long ago, this bear spirit amazed everyone!
They were almost certain that this bear spirit would pass the assessment with first place.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed so suddenly. In just a few moments, not only did the Buddha's light above Xiong Yuer's head disappear, but even the stone tablet in front of her exploded. This was simply unbelievable.
After a long while, someone hesitated and said:
"So is she a genius or a waste?"
"this"
Everyone can't understand, and no one can answer this question.
"Hey, you don't care so much. She was eliminated anyway. The slightest difference makes a huge difference! There are so many peculiar physiques in the world of immortality. Some of them are only slightly different, but it is this subtle difference that makes two physiques appear.
The difference between clouds and mud."
"Well, what Brother Chu said makes sense. Many times, there is a thin line between genius and waste."
Hearing people talking about it, Xiong Yue'er felt extremely uncomfortable.
This kind of feeling of climbing to the top and falling to the bottom is simply unbearable for ordinary people, and it is easy for the Taoist mind to collapse.
Fortunately, she is a stupid bear, and what she has endured the most in these years is setbacks and blows. It can be said that she has grown up step by step from setbacks. Although her qualifications in other aspects are average, her mental endurance is top-notch.
Perhaps her Taoist heart will never collapse.
Xiong Yue'er actually didn't care about being talked about at all. She only cared about whether she had embarrassed Liang Yan. She could be embarrassed ten thousand times, but she could never weaken Liang Yan's prestige.
So she pulled Liang Yan's clothes from behind and whispered: "Master"
"Okay, I know what you are going to say. Shut up. Master is not embarrassed!" Liang Yan said quietly.
"Uh" Xiong Yuer'er couldn't say the next words.
"You!"
Wu Xin poked Liang Yan's arm and laughed softly: "Can't you be gentler to our Yue'er."
Not to mention Liang Yan, Wu Xin, Xiong Yue'er and the others secretly transmitted messages, but they said that on the pagoda peak, balls of golden light appeared frequently.
One after another, some people have understood the stone tablet in front of them. Although they have not yet reached the state of Dzogchen, they can still achieve small or even great achievements.
Sitting on the fourth floor, Cang Yueming, Hua Caidi, Taiyue and others all have seven groups of Buddha's light hovering above their heads. They have obviously reached great attainment, but the Buddha's light cannot increase anymore, indicating that their understanding has reached its limit.
These people quickly gave up on the stone tablet in front of them and headed to the fifth floor, choosing another stone tablet to continue their research.
In the bronze cauldron on the mountain path, incense candles were burning slowly, and it was almost over.
Everyone knew that the results were about to come out, and they began to discuss privately, guessing which genius would get the final spot.
Almost everyone's eyes fell on the fifth floor. Because they knew that the final winner would be born on this floor. As for Xiong Yue'er's surprise, it was like a flash in the pan, and no one cared about it anymore.
After a while, the incense candles in the bronze cauldron burned out, and the long bells rang under the pagoda peak.
Amidst the ringing of the bell, Venerable Great Ku said loudly: "This is the end of the first round of the divine machine performance. Please leave everyone from Pagoda Peak!"
He was a powerful sub-sage, and he used magical powers in his voice. How could the people who had attained enlightenment on the Buddha Peak resist? All the monks who were immersed in the inscription were awakened, and involuntarily stood up from the stone tablet.
"Is it time already?"
Taiyue glanced at the incense candles at the bottom of the mountain path, curled up the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Well, with this achievement, I must be able to stand out from the crowd!"
He was immersed in the inscription just now and didn't know anything about Xiong Yue'er. Later, he realized the six groups of Buddha's light in front of the fifth-floor stone tablet, so he was very proud.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold laugh coming from behind: "Haha, it is a good thing to be confident, but if you are too confident, it will only be counterproductive."
Taiyue turned around suddenly and saw a man wearing a green robe with fair skin. Although he looked good, there was a coldness in his eyes that made people stay away from him.
"Oh, who am I? It turns out to be you, a person who hides his head and shows his tail."
Taiyue seemed to know him. He glanced at the six groups of Buddha's light above the other person's head and said in surprise: "Lu Yuan, can a person like you who practices Yinrou Kung Fu understand the six groups of Buddha's light?"
"What do you know? There are thousands of Buddhist dharma, covering the four seas, and Buddha has the appearance of all sentient beings. It's not just a brute like you who can practice Buddhism." Lu Yuan sneered.
"Okay, okay! I don't understand Buddhism, do you? When I wait for the second round, I will have a debate with you!"
"Stay with me to the end!"
Although the two of them didn't get along, it was impossible for them to take action. They each put down their harsh words and walked away.
Behind them, "Kong Kong'er" Ye Xuan, "Liu Li Fairy" Hua Caidi, "Scholar Sword" Cang Yueming and "Fist Sect" Fan Yinyi also set foot on the mountain road one after another.
Although these four people met for the first time, they were all Nanxuan Qiying, and they had all heard of each other's names.
"Your Excellency, you are Cang Yueming? I heard that you were taught by the Peerless Divine Sword, and your swordsmanship is extraordinary. Ye has long wanted to meet you for a while!" Ye Xuan chuckled.
"Brother Ye is ridiculous. The teacher is as deep as the sea. I have only learned a superficial knowledge. I can't say that it is extraordinary. I just have some small achievements." Cang Yueming said calmly.
"Brother Cang, why do you have to be so humble?"
Hua Caidie smiled: "I have long heard that Brother Cang killed the five Tongxuan Zhenjun who killed Beiming with one sword in Biluohai. He proved the Tao in the killing calamity and broke through the calamity! Such heroic deeds are what my little sister yearns for.
.”
After saying that, he bowed to Cang Yueming.
"What are you talking about, Flower Fairy! It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. Now that the North and the South are fighting, killings and calamities are everywhere, who has not attained enlightenment in a life of nine deaths? I heard that the Fairy's 'Glazed Divine Light Technique' is also extraordinary. You have died in these years.
There are at least tens of thousands of Beiming thieves in their hands, right?"
Cang Yueming said and returned the gift to Hua Caidi.
The three of them greeted each other politely, but then they heard a cold voice coming from behind:
"Hmph, you people are so hypocritical. We are all rivals, but you are praising each other here. It makes me want to vomit!"
After hearing this, Cang Yueming turned around and saw a long-haired man walking at the back.
This man is not tall, but has broad shoulders. He is wearing a brown suit and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
"'Fist Sect' Fanyin Yi!"
Cang Yueming looked at this person for a moment and said with a smile: "I have admired your name for a long time!"
"No need to be polite! The second round is a martial arts fight. How many kilograms do you have? We'll see when the time comes." Fanyin Yi said nonchalantly.
"Haha, why does Brother Fan have such great hostility? Although we are opponents in this 'magic show', we are not real enemies. On the contrary, in this troubled world, all of us are comrades-in-arms.
, you shouldn’t be hostile.”
Cang Yueming's words made Hua Caidi and Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
But Fanyinyi remained indifferent and said calmly: "Only those recognized by Fan can become my comrades. Those who are just seeking fame are not worthy of being compared with me! If you want to win Fan's respect, just show up in the second round of assessment."
Come with strength equal to mine!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at the other three people and walked down the mountain road with long strides.
Looking at his leaving figure, Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly and said: "I have long heard that the 'Boxing Sect' is aloof and indifferent, and it turned out to be so when I saw him today."
"Haha, there are thousands of people with different faces. As long as they are willing to fight against Bei Ming, they are Cang's friends. Moreover, this kind of straightforward character is quite to my liking!"
Cang Yueming said, laughed, then took big steps and walked down the mountain road.
In just a moment, everyone left Pagoda Peak.
"Amitabha."
Venerable Great Ku chanted the Buddha's name and said loudly: "This is the end of the first round of the divine machine performance. According to the ranking and quantity of the Buddha's light, the top thirty people will advance to the second round. Now we will announce the list of promotions."
He stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly, and a golden list immediately appeared in mid-air, with thirty names written on it in golden light.
The first place is Fanyin Yi, the second place is Cang Yueming, and the third place is Hua Caidie
Among the top ten, six are among the "Seven Heroes of Nanxuan", while the remaining four are the four True Lords of Tongxuan.
Understanding the stone tablet does not require any cultivation, only the Buddha nature. Therefore, there are many Tongxuan Zhenjun who are ranked in front of the Patriarch of Huajie.
Liang Yan took a closer look and found that only Cang Yueming was on the list, while Li Xiran and Bai Qingruo had all failed. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Wu Xin quickly noticed the change in his mood, Chuanyin smiled and said: "What? Do you care so much about the results of the divine machine performance? It seems that you are also eyeing the Pudu Golden Wheel."
Liang Yan smiled and replied secretly: "Pudu Golden Wheel is the inherited treasure of Luotian Sect, who is not impressed? As the saying goes, the wealth should not flow to others. Although I can't get it myself, I don't want to give this opportunity to others.
Naturally, I hope that my disciples will get it."
"What you said makes sense, but it's a pity that Li Xiran and Bai Qingruo don't have this blessing, and only Cang Yueming is on the list."
"You can't force this. Only one person can get the Purdue Golden Wheel in the end. I'm optimistic about Cang Yueming." Liang Yan said calmly.
After Wu Xin heard this, he glanced at Cang Yueming who was walking towards him, and said with a smile: "You are indeed a good apprentice, but I think the 'Nan Xuan Qi Ying' is not an ordinary person. I heard that the second round of the competition is
With magical powers, I'm afraid there will be a fight between dragons and tigers."
"Hmph, how could the disciples I trained lose to others?" Liang Yan didn't care.
Just as he was talking, Cang Yueming had already walked over.
"I've met the teacher, my wife!"
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded and said, "You did a good job. Come to my Zen monastery at noon tomorrow. My teacher will teach you some magical skills."
Cang Yueming was overjoyed and saluted Liang Yan, saying: "Thank you very much, teacher, for teaching me the Dharma!"
Liang Yan waved his hand and asked him to stand behind him.
At this moment, Venerable Great Ku said loudly:
"Everyone, the list of shortlisted candidates has been announced. The second examination will be held at Shenji Peak and will be held in the early morning three days later. Those who are on the list are requested to attend on time and do not miss it!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately responded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will arrive on time!"
"Okay, we'll be here today, please help yourself."
Venerable Da Ku flicked his sleeves and led most of Luo Tianshan's disciples away, leaving only Venerable Xuan Ye and a few advanced disciples to guard the surroundings of Futu Peak.
