While Wu Jie and Xiao Buyi were huddled in the shelter, waiting for the wind and sand to subside, Lin Lushan had already ushered in its second exam.
There are two topics. The first is to choose a word from "风花雪月" to compose a poem. The second is to choose one of the founding generals of this dynasty as the title and compose a poem or essay.
Of course, a total of three poems and one article are required, so the rest is up to you.
In the past, this was the subject that troubled him the most. Writing three poems in one day? It would be easier to kill him!
Lin Lushan's fastest record of writing poetry in the past was to complete a poem in five days - and it was still at a level that made Wu Jie shake his head after reading it.
This was the reason why he had not had much confidence in himself before.
But... things are different now!
Over the past year or so, Dan'er helped him adjust his thinking and writing habits, and later Wu Jie taught him countless poems and essays. Now he has transformed from a rookie who could only jump around on the ground to one who can soar.
The dragon of Tianyu!
It only took less than an hour to write three poems and an article. Then he was still in the mood to eat some cakes made by Daner himself, drink some tea, and even close his eyes and take a nap.
After adjusting the situation again, he began to review these four poems and began to think about where he could modify them to make them more perfect and attractive.
He was relaxed and relaxed on his side, and Wu Jie was also relaxed on his side.
Everything that can be done has been done, and the next problem is Xiao Buyi's own problem.
He is quite confident about Xiao Buyi. This "quasi-senior" who has been practicing Taoism for 20 years is quite outstanding in terms of wisdom and talent. His knowledge is not bad, and his adaptability and sudden decision-making are even more extraordinary. More importantly,
Yes, he was very lucky.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Xiao Buyi is enough to be the successor of Buyi Divine Appearance. Unless Senior Li Buyi has a brain problem and refuses to accept him unless he is a peerless genius, then he will definitely be qualified!
Wu Jie sat in front of the broken wall that was actually the gate and rested for a while. Then he easily left the ruins of the ancient city and found a sheltered place outside the city to lie down and rest, waiting patiently for Xiao Buyi to come out.
Although his mission was supposedly completed and he could go home now, he felt that since he agreed to help Xiao Buyi obtain the true inheritance of Buyi's divine appearance, he had an obligation to wait and see the outcome.
Regardless of whether Xiao Buyi can pass the test, it shouldn't take too much time.
Anyway, he has nothing to worry about now, so it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer here, even if it takes three to five months.
The big deal... just stay in seclusion and practice.
With this idea in mind, he simply lay down on the ground, preparing to take a deep sleep before starting to practice.
The climate in this desert is hot during the day and the sun is abundant, which is very suitable for practicing.
In his current state, basic cultivation only requires daily nourishment. What really needs to be done is to refine the heavenly fire or the earthly fire, and match it with the true fire in his body to smelt the true fire of samadhi that the Taoist school is proud of.
Samadhi True Fire refers to the combination of "heavenly fire", "earth fire" and "human fire", and its sources are diverse. The power of Samadhi True Fire composed of different sources is also different, and it can even be said that
Ever-changing.
Wu Jie planned to use the true fire of the bright sun as the sky fire, the poisonous flames from the center of the earth as the earth fire, and then the pure Yang true fire as the human fire. The three fires were combined into one to create the Samadhi True Fire.
He himself has successfully practiced the Fire Dharma, and the power of the divine fire is not inferior to the Samadhi True Fire. However, the Fire Dharma requires practitioners to continuously strengthen their understanding and control of flames, so if he can practice the Samadhi True Fire, it will be of great benefit to his own practice.
It is also of great benefit.
Not to mention, many of the unique effects of Samadhi True Fire cannot be achieved by Divine Fire.
If he can follow the plan and fuse the true sun fire, the earth's poisonous flame and the pure yang true fire into the samadhi true fire, the power of the samadhi true fire will definitely be quite outstanding among the various samadhi true fires.
The magical effects will also be very comprehensive, and will become a powerful means for him to practice and fight.
Wu Jie slept peacefully for almost two hours, and didn't get up until the sun turned west.
He came to the top of the tallest remaining tower in the ancient city, sat there and stared at the setting sun, carefully experiencing the feeling of the sun's light and heat falling on his body.
The true fire of the sun is not fire, but the crystallization of light and heat. Only by fully familiarizing and understanding the sun can it be extracted from the blazing sunlight.
At this time, he saw a figure speeding toward the east horizon in the direction of the horizon.
He frowned, activated his invisible sword, and his figure completely disappeared, and at the same time he flew towards the figures that were speeding towards him.
No matter who comes, if there is to be a battle, he hopes that the battle will take place far away from the ancient city.
Xiao Buyi is undergoing the test and inheritance at the place of inheritance. At this time, he must try his best to prevent others from hindering the ongoing inheritance ceremony.
But he only flew a short distance when he felt something was wrong.
Although I can't see clearly who those people are yet, I still feel that the figures look familiar. And... looking at the appearance of those people, it seems that they are not here to cause trouble, but rather as if they are fleeing...
After a while, he finally saw the faces of those people clearly, and his eyes widened in shock and anger.
The group of people who are escaping are none other than Kotomine and the others!
Kotomine and the other four who had chased the gray figure early this morning were in an extremely embarrassed state at the moment. Kotomine's robe was as torn as rags, and there were scars everywhere on his body. Every step he took on the desert left a lot of blood stains. Look,
It looks shocking.
But his situation already looks better among the four!
He was carrying Zhang Li and holding Su Lin between his shoulders. The short, stocky man lay motionless on his back. Su Lin seemed to still have some strength and was casting a spell, shining green light into Kotomine's body.
Perhaps it was with the help of these green lights that the horribly injured Kotomine was able to escape with the two of them.
Not far behind Kotomine, Zhang Hezheng, who had only one arm left, was staggering after him. His right arm had disappeared. His remaining left hand was holding a short sword tightly, and his face was full of panic.
He looked very angry, and from time to time he looked at Zhang Li who was lying behind Kotomine as if he had lost his breath, looking very worried.
What on earth is going on?!
Wu Jie frowned, increased the flying speed of Yujian to the maximum, and rushed in front of Yanmine and the others, asking: "What happened? Who hurt you like this!"
When Kotomine saw him appearing, his face showed a bit of joy, but it was immediately replaced by deep fatigue. His whole body softened and he fell towards the ground, but he caught him.
"Junior brother, hold on!" Wu Jie hurriedly took out a crimson jade bottle and put the only fiery red pill in it into Yan Feng's mouth, "Don't say anything, have a good rest, and leave the rest to me! "
This elixir is given by Qingyang Temple to every disciple walking down the mountain to save his life in critical moments. It is called "Life-Sustaining and Returning to Heaven Pill". As long as there is still a breath left, this elixir can stabilize the injury so that Treat it slowly. It's just that it's difficult to refine this medicine. Each disciple can only give out one pill at a time. Only after this pill is used up will it be given out again.
Wu Jie was familiar with the properties of the medicine, and as soon as he smelled it, he knew that Yanfeng's own elixir had been fed to Zhang Li. That's why Zhang Li slept so peacefully on his back. This was the effect of the medicine. At this moment, Yanfeng took it by himself. It was the same after taking the elixir, my eyelids immediately started to doze off, and I was fast asleep in an instant.
He carefully placed Kotomine on the flat sand so that his junior brother could lie down more comfortably. Then he frowned and asked Su Lin, Zhang and the two of them who were still in shock, "What's going on?"
"We were ambushed!" Zhang He just dropped the broken sword that he couldn't bear to let go of when he was running for his life. He caught his brother with one arm and carefully laid Zhang Li down to rest. Because of this action, he vomited a large mouthful of blood. Staggeringly sitting on the ground, he said feebly, "That guy deliberately led us into a trap!"
Wu Jie suddenly understood something and looked at Su Lin again.
Su Lin was worthy of being a tree demon known for his long lifespan and long vitality. Although he seemed to be seriously injured and had fallen hard just now, he had already recovered some of his energy, and his pale face gradually became clearer. When it becomes a little rosy, these twelve hundred years are indeed not in vain.
Seeing Wu Jie's gaze coming towards him, he took a breath and explained: "We ran after that figure, but we were ambushed - the famous evil cultivator organization 'Swarm of Bees' in the northwest region hid collectively under the sand. Wait for us to rush out and attack when we pass by."
There was a hint of fear on his face, probably because he was still frightened by the scene at that time: "If it hadn't been for Fellow Taoist Yan's quick reaction and dragging us to break out of the encirclement immediately, and Fellow Daoist Zhang Li sacrificed himself to block most of the attacks for us, I'd be afraid. The four of us were going to die right there!"
"How many people are there on the other side, and what abilities do they have?" Wu Jie asked in a deep voice, "Are they still chasing after them?"
"There should be forty-two people in a swarm of bees. Among them, the leader 'Queen Bee' Luo Che has broken through to the realm of Hundred Refinements twenty years ago. It is unclear whether he has reached the realm of Tongyou now; 'Queen Bee' Li Ziyun has just achieved the realm of Hundred Refinements not long ago. Yes, but this woman is good at training disciples, and all the thirty-six people in 'Qunfeng' were trained by her."
"Peaks?"
"Yes, the reason why Yiqufeng is famous is that they have thirty-six disciples called 'Qunfeng'. Those thirty-six people have mediocre cultivation, but they have practiced a set of joint attack formations, which is called everyone joining forces." Even the Lian Gang monks can challenge him head-on."
"So powerful?" Wu Jie was surprised. The skills of the Lian Gang monks are not comparable to those in the Taoist realm. If these thirty-six disciples, who are at most the innate realm, can actually fight against the Lian Gang monks, then Yanfeng and the others will It's a blessing to be able to escape!
"It's just bragging!" Zhang He had already picked up the broken sword and said viciously, "If we hadn't been ambushed, we wouldn't have been beaten so badly!"
Wu Jie suddenly understood and continued to ask: "Apart from these thirty-eight, where are the remaining four?"
"Among the remaining four people, two have never shown up. They should be responsible for selling stolen goods and gathering information, and their skills are not too strong; the other two are 'Bing Bee' Sun Kai and 'Crazy Bee' Chen Deng
." Su Lin is indeed an old demon who has lived for more than a thousand years and knows quite a lot. "Sun Kai is a martial arts master who entered the Tao through martial arts. His close combat ability is far superior to that of ordinary monks;
The evil cultivators who have made special zombies are invulnerable, extremely powerful, and aggressive as hell, and have killed famous Hundred Refiners masters many times."
"We didn't see Chen Deng this time." Zhang He added, "That guy is over four feet tall and is a terrifying giant."
Wu Jie nodded slightly - this was probably the only good news.
"Who is that gray figure?" he asked again.
"I don't know. After we were ambushed, we immediately broke out and ran away. We only had time to glance at it and make sure that the 'swarm bees', 'queen bees', 'queen bees' and 'soldier bees' were all there. We didn't have time to pay attention to anything else."
Su Lin sighed, "If it weren't for the profound skills of Taoist friend Yan, who could lead two people to run like flying even though they were seriously injured, and the 'Swarm Bees' were low in cultivation and couldn't run fast, we would have been overtaken and killed long ago.
…”
The corners of Wu Jie's mouth were raised, but there was no smile in his eyes. They looked cold as if there were flames beating inside.
"Your injuries shouldn't be a serious problem, right? Mr. Su, I know that a veteran like you must have a way to save your life and heal your injuries. Junior Brother Yan and the others will leave it to you." He looked towards the east and saw the reflection of the setting sun.
His face turned red, "I'm going to meet that swarm of bees and see what they are capable of!"
