Chapter 748: Blatant Bribery

The reason why the Tianxi Sword Sect set the rules for the hundreds of resentful ghosts to enter the mountain was precisely because no one could meet this condition, so it was specially formulated.

As big as the world is, there is always no shortage of people who will not yield to God's destiny.

Even if he has a useless spiritual root or a mortal spiritual root, he always feels that he is different from ordinary people, and imagines that he can change his destiny against the will of nature, but he just lacks an opportunity.

Every time when you open the mountain gate, you will always encounter one or two strange people who are unwilling to give up. Therefore, Sword Master Yu has to hand over a hundred resentful ghosts as a condition, but he can pass a certain level of spiritual root.

But for ordinary people, not to mention a hundred resentful ghosts, even if they encounter a fierce ghost, they have no choice but to run for their lives.

This condition is almost in vain and no one can achieve it.

Fan Hong shook his head and chuckled, and opened the spirit bag in his hand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the talisman rope was loosened, in the bottomless black space of the square-inch pouch, countless pale green eyeballs suddenly opened and squeezed together, staring straight at Fan Hong!

There was a loud bang in Fan Hong's head, and he instantly had the illusion that his soul was about to be sucked away by those eyes. His face turned pale, and big beads of sweat were squeezed out of his pores.

However, this was not an illusion. The cold evil spirit broke through the spiritual platform where he was standing between his brows. His soul was torn out and half of his body seemed to be squeezed in and occupied by those resentful ghosts.

"Well!!!!"

He took a deep breath, and his desire to survive instinctively caused him to quickly tighten the talisman, and the sucking feeling between his eyebrows and the mouth of the bag was interrupted.

Fan Hong's eyes were frightened, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, sweating like rain, and breathing violently as if he was suffocating.

When the disciples on the side saw this scene, they didn't know what was going on. They all looked horrified and rushed forward to transfer spiritual power to him to stabilize the spiritual platform.

"Fan...Senior Brother Fan, this is really..." A very young outer disciple looked at the thing in his hand with fear and fear, as if he had seen a ghost under the blue sky, and his face turned pale with fright.

How could Fan Hong dare to look down upon the young man in front of him? He swallowed painfully, while shaking his hands, he taught the spirit-locking bag to his classmates.

His voice was hoarse: "Quick...quick, quick, quick! Give this to Senior Brother Guo to count."

With their level of cultivation, opening this shrinking spirit bag would be fatal!

The fellow disciple hurriedly left holding the spirit bag, and not long after, he returned with someone else.

That man was wearing the attire of an inner disciple of the Tianxi Sword Sect, and it was the Senior Brother Guo that Fan Hong mentioned.

The dignified inner disciples of Tianxi actually went down the mountain to settle here, which shows how much they attach importance to it.

Now that the inner disciples are here, even Jiang Yunqin, who was personally recommended by the prince of Shu, can no longer sit in the carriage with an air of dignity and not move his buttocks.

She got out of the carriage and looked at Balian's back with a complicated expression, suddenly feeling that she was so ridiculous.

During the trip across the river, she coveted the young man's skin, thinking that she had kindly donated her life to save him, and that he should be grateful for this life-saving grace.

Even if you can't obey her orders, you should still pursue and obey her like her usual suitors.

Although Jiang Yunqin is a wealthy lady who never leaves home, it does not mean that she has no scheming. As a woman of a wealthy family, she has her own way of buying people's hearts.

The latter, however, faced her with an extraordinarily calm and indifferent attitude. Not only did he not have the slightest intention of pursuing her, he also accepted her kindness and gift as a matter of course. That gesture clearly placed him on an equal footing with her.

This gave her a strong sense of disparity in her heart, and she secretly complained that this person did not know how to appreciate others, fearing that he was an ungrateful person.

But at the moment, she couldn't understand how an ordinary child from a mortal family could remain intact in the river of resentment and ghosts. Even the two internal guards with advanced Taoist skills around her were tortured into that ghostly appearance.

.

I'm afraid that the water ghost crossing the river is one of his hundreds of resentful ghosts, right?

He never owed her any favors.

On the other hand, her journey across the river was uneventful and she did not encounter any ghost disasters. If he hadn't taken in the water ghost, the six internal guards His Highness the Prince left for her would probably have died more than just two of them.

While Jiang Yunqin was thinking wildly, he watched the inner disciple who had just come down the mountain invite the young man into the mountain in a polite and courteous manner.

There are nine stages in the selection of Tianxi Sword Sect disciples. If you pass the first stage, you will get a small wooden tablet of identity as a registered disciple of Tianxi.

Once you have completely passed these nine levels, the wooden sign can be replaced with a silver sign, which means you are a disciple of Tianxi's inner sect.

Those who are then personally selected as disciples by the seven Tianxi Fengjian elders or the Thirteen Sword Masters can become Tianxi's personal disciples.

The first level is to identify spiritual roots. In the past few days, there may have been hundreds of thousands of participants, but only more than a thousand people have actually passed this spiritual root assessment.

This is the first level. If the ninth level is passed, I don’t know how many people will be left.

Jiang Yunqin relied on his high-grade spiritual roots to successfully pass the first level.

After going up the mountain, this meant that she was no longer a daughter of the Shu Kingdom, but just an 'ordinary' climber like these more than a thousand people.

Jiang Yunqin looked at the wooden sign in his hand, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and the gloom in his heart also faded a bit.

No matter what, even though the young man used extraordinary means to pass the first level of Tianxi and shine in front of everyone, this still cannot change the fact that he is the root of death.

The hundreds of resentful ghosts are indeed amazing, but how can ordinary people have the ability to gather hundreds of ghosts together? Maybe he is eager to seek immortality, and relying on the favor of his elders in the family, he has been prepared to collect resentful ghosts in the past ten years.

This first level is not only about destiny, but also about family background.

It's just that most people are not willing to waste their hard-earned resentment on a useless person who cannot practice cultivation.

In the final analysis, the inner disciple, Senior Brother Guo and Corporal Li Xian, may only care about his background and family background.

As for the water ghost in the river... who knows if he was able to subdue it with some spiritual treasure talisman.

If he is really capable, why is there no trace of him in this third level of assessment?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Yunqin, who was standing in the third test area prepared by the Tianxi Sword Sect, was bathed in the cold wind and still could not stop the excitement in his heart.

Pride and pleasure burst out.

Yes, she passed the first level and then the second level without any pressure.

The assessment content of the second level is said to be an examination, but in fact it is also a gift from an immortal.

The examiner in charge of the second level of the exam is a beautiful woman holding a golden embroidery needle. If you want to pass the second level, it is very easy. The embroidery needle in the woman's hand will poke a few stitches on everyone.

If you can survive fifteen needles, you can pass and continue going up the mountain.

It sounds like the fifteen needles on the body are very frightening, not to mention that they are from the hands of this immortal disciple. Jiang Yunqin has long heard of the immortal's methods, which can move mountains and fill seas, and can move mountains and rivers with one sword and one palm.

But the golden embroidery needle passes through the body without causing any harm to the human body.

His Royal Highness the Prince once told her that the core of a cultivator depends on the spiritual root and the spiritual power cultivation nodes.

And every needle the woman lands is opening up a spiritual node in the human body.

This second level can be described as a huge opportunity. Even if someone has not passed this level, they will benefit a lot.

Under the golden needles, if you can withstand ten needles, you can continue to climb the mountain.

What makes Jiang Yunqin extremely proud is that she withstood fifteen needles in that woman's hands. According to the world's terms, she is already very qualified.

But the young man who shined in the first level could only withstand seven injections. By the eighth injection, his skin was bleeding and no more injections were allowed.

After all, he failed the hundred ghosts that his elders had worked so hard to capture, and he just passed the test and then died.

Jiang Yunqin became relaxed again, smiled back at Bai Lian, and entered the gate.

What makes people feel even more happy is that this third level is prepared for participants who have received ten injections.

A person like her who had received fifteen injections could just say hello to the painter guarding the third level before continuing up the mountain.

Jiang Yunqin faced almost everyone's envious gazes and reached the fourth level with overwhelming momentum.

The test takers who stayed in the second level also left one after another.

Shen Zhan flicked his finger, and the embroidery needle at his fingertips instantly became as soft as silk and slipped into the sleeves, turning into a dark line of sleeve wind.

She picked up the books in front of the case and was about to leave when she found that the young man whose spiritual power node only had access to the seventh orifice was lowering his eyes and staring at her legs seriously.

Although Shen Zhan's embroidered shoes have been taken off from the loops of her arms and put on her feet, she is not wearing socks tonight. The white skin exposed on the embroidered shoes is looming in the swaying skirt in the mountain breeze, which is very charming.

Shen Zhan saw that this young man was not a lecherous and rude person, but he couldn't move his eyes when he saw the girl's feet.

"Wow..."

The thick stack of books in her hand hit Balian's head moderately.

Balian raised his head to look at her.

Shen Zhan's mist-colored eyes were very light, a light aqua blue. She stood tall and graceful, but there was no anger in her eyebrows. She just said calmly: "If you don't leave yet, Tianxi won't do it."

The rule of leaving people to eat.”

"You..." Balian looked into her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Are you a shark?"

Shen Zhan opened his eyes wide in surprise, then pursed his lips and smiled: "Ji Pei is right, you have really good eyesight. Could it be that when you were a child, an expert opened your heavenly eyes for you?"

Balian shook his head and said bluntly: "I want to go up the mountain."

"That won't work. Your spiritual aptitude is too poor. According to the rules, I can't let you go up the mountain, but..." Shen Zhan changed the topic and smiled sweetly: "If you secretly give me some benefits, maybe I can make a fortune." Mercifully let you go up the mountain."

While speaking, she also made an action of rubbing her fingers that ordinary people could understand.

"Benefits?" Balian couldn't help laughing. Compared to the tough-minded outer disciple at the foot of the mountain, this girl really has no integrity at all.

Compared with Tianxi's iron rules, accepting bribes is obviously more appealing to people's hearts.

Balian was a smart man and did not directly ask her what she wanted. Instead, he directly took out the amber box, opened it and displayed it: "Whatever the girl wants, you can take it yourself."

Shen Zhan was just joking. When her eyes fell on the box, her eyes suddenly fluctuated. She took out two pale pink pearls from the box.

"These two shark beads are good, can you give them to me?"

Balian was startled. The two pearls were not big and fell into the star amber box containing Qiankun. He did not realize that there were pink shark beads in the box.

Shark beads are pearls condensed from the tears of the sharks, and this star amber box was given to him by Sister Lin Yuan.

So, these two shark beads were also prepared by Sister Lin Yuan.

Before Bai Lian could speak, Shen Zhan had already put the two shark beads into his sleeves, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You go up the mountain, I won't stop you."

This person is doing extremely domineering things with a gentle face, which really makes people speechless.

After Bailian left, Shen Zhan was not in a hurry to return to Shaoqing Peak. Facing the moonlight, she gently held the pale pink shark bead with two fingers. Under the moonlight, the shark bead was so beautiful. Incredible.

She suddenly waved her hand in a certain direction and said: "Ji Pei, I have two good things, and I will give you one."

In the night, Ji Pei walked through the thick snow, took a pink pearl from Shen Zhan, held it in his palm, and looked at it carefully.

"I remember you also bought this pink shark bead. Why do you want it if you have it yourself?"

Shen Zhan looked at him softly with her clear eyes and smiled: "There are many colors of shark beads in the deep sea, but pink is the most dreamy and beautiful, because this is what the shark dropped when he missed his sweetheart. Mermaid tears are also the most beautiful and moving ones. I am not a pure shark. My father is a human. I am at best a half-mermaid. The pink shark beads that fall are not pure."

Ji Pei didn't take it seriously, and he was even less interested in the bead in his hand. He was about to return it when he heard her say:

"There is a legend about the sharks circulating in the sea. If you can get two pure-blooded sharks' missing shark beads, one for each man, even if the fate is broken in this life, they can meet again in the next life without leaving any regrets. Ji Pei, do you think this legend is true?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ji Pei's palms were slightly stiff and he looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Shen Zhan chuckled and said, "If this legend is true, I'm not afraid that in the future you will suddenly break your sword and die."

Ji Pei: "..."

Shen Zhan stretched out his hand and lifted his collar, looking at the scabs on his neck that were left by self-inflicted wounds. There seemed to be a touch of sadness in his smiling eyes: "Ji Pei, next time, don't seek death again."

Ji Pei unconsciously avoided her sight, clenched the shark beads in his hand, cleared his throat, and said, "Is this the reason why you let that young man go into the mountain?"

"Not really." Shen Zhan took out a piece of rice paper from the middle of the stack of books, with an ink painting of a portrait on it.

Ji Pei was surprised: "Is this the young man just now?"

And looking at the painting, it seems that it was painted by the Fourth Senior Sister.

Shen Zhan smiled narrowly and said: "A few months ago, the fourth senior sister returned from the devil world. Her Taoist mind was often unstable. She often secretly took this portrait and compared it among the many disciples one by one, as if to find someone who was similar to this young man. When a junior brother who looks similar comes out, tell me when did the fourth senior sister have such a crush on a man."

Ji Pei's expression was extremely exciting, and he uttered four words in a long time: "Look at the plum blossoms to quench your thirst."

Shen Zhan had a playful expression on his face: "Now that Mei is here, tell me, as a junior fellow apprentice, why would you ruin the good deeds of the fourth senior sister?"

Ji Pei raised her forehead and said: "I think this is too unbelievable. In the eyes of Fourth Senior Sister, there is no difference between good and bad men. Except for swords, all men and women in this world look different to her. It’s just a big radish.”

Are you telling me that his sword-crazy senior sister is actually coveting the beauty of a young man?

Shen Zhan said: "Isn't this good? In the early years, according to the sect leader's wishes, it seemed that he wanted to betroth the fourth senior sister to the eldest brother. He wanted to use the sword power of the eldest brother to enter the cauldron spiritual cultivation and help the fourth senior sister rebuild the sword. With a clear mind, you don't have to waste your good sword bones.

But everyone in the sect doesn’t know that the senior brother and the second senior sister are a perfect match. The sect leader is not doing this properly. Is it possible that the fourth senior sister and the second senior sister should be asked to serve the same husband? I don’t think it’s possible.”

Ji Pei's head started to hurt when he talked about this. Senior brother and second senior sister have known each other for so many years, but they have never been able to achieve perfect cultivation, just because there is a Dehuo Sutra in the middle.

Fourth Senior Sister, there is no need to wade into this muddy water.

"So, when it's time for you to supervise the examination, you have to take good care of that young man and just turn a blind eye. When I look at the eldest lady of the Jiang family, my nose hurts when I look at the fourth senior brother-in-law. It's up to the sky, we people who come out of our own house don't want to be bullied by the little girl from outside."

Before even saying a word, the fourth senior brother-in-law was called.

Ji Pei felt that the Fengyi Sword in her sleeve was ashamed of herself after she had achieved this through favoritism and fraud.

Although what she said was mysterious and baseless, if it were true, it would really be difficult to deal with.

Undead roots, rubbish with blocked nodes, and useless embroidered pillows, but so what?

After all, he is the man that Fourth Senior Sister likes.

What else can I do if I am a junior brother and junior sister?

Just open a small stove in secret, make connections, and pet it all the way up the mountain. If you like Long Night Walk, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Long Night Walk Search Novel Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
