Chapter 13: the wizards
"Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, disciples under Longshou Peak's Cang Song Zhen Zhen Zhen, pay their respects to Master Tian and Master Su."
In the Hall of Shou Jing, Tian Yanyu and Su Ru were sitting on the upper seat, the rest of the disciples were lined up next to each other, and the two white-robed men in the field, namely Lin Jingyu and another handsome youth named Qi Hao, were greeting Tian Yanyu. Zhang Xiaofan stood at the very end of the disciple column, looking at Lin Jingyu in the field.
After several years of not seeing each other, everyone had grown up.
It was at this moment that Lin Jingyu also turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaofan, the two of them met their eyes, Lin Jingyu smiled faintly, Zhang Xiaofan's heart warmed with emotion and nodded.
Tian Yi's eyes turned on Qi Hao, and then glanced at Lin Jingyu, his face sank, he saw that these two were handsome, with his eyesight, in a few moments, he could already see that these two qualifications were far above the disciples under his own door.
Qi Hao is needless to say, in the young generation of the Qingyun door he has long been renowned, but the young Lin Jingyu, from just now he has been able to imperial sword and know, he has at least cultivated to the Taiji Xuanqing Dao of the fourth layer above, to his entry only three and a half years, this qualification is really amazing.
Thinking of this, Tian not easy to subconsciously look at the last standing Zhang Xiaofan, two comparisons, Tian not easy in a bad mood, coldly said: "Your master let you come to do what?"
Qi Hao arched his hand and said, "Uncle Tian, my master Cang Song Zhen Zhen Zhen was entrusted by the master Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen, and started to take care of the seven veins martial arts test two years later, because there are a few changes, so I have come here to take care of the matters. Because there are a few changes, I was specially ordered to come with Master Lin to inform him."
Tian Yanyu hummed, looked Lin Jingyu up and down, and said, "He is deliberately trying to demonstrate to me, right!"
Both Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu's faces changed, Lin Jingyu wanted to have a fit right then and there, but Qi Hao stopped him with a stretch of his hand and smiled, "Uncle Tian really knows how to joke, we belong to the same Qingyun Sect, and Uncle Tian is highly esteemed, my family master in no way has any disrespectful intentions."
Tian Yi's face was gloomy, not improving at all, but it was Su Ru beside him who smiled amiably and said gently, "You don't have to care, Uncle Tian was joking with you. By the way, you just said that there were some changes, what's going on?"
Qi Hao respectfully said, "Reporting back to Uncle Su, the matter is like this, in the past years, the 'Seven Veins Martial Arts', all the veins under the Qingyun Sect each send out four people, in addition to the long door Tongtian Peak and then send out four people, a total of thirty-two of the number of the drawing of lots, the winner of the duel, so five rounds, and the final winners that is, the Qingyun Sect of the younger generation of the leading, can get all the teachers and leaders carefully cultivated, and the last one is the Qingyun Sect. Can get all the masters to cultivate carefully."
Su Ru pursed her lips and smiled, her wind posture was clear, said: "Speaking of the last big test, you are the character who made a big splash, I remember that you ended up being the top spot, right! If it wasn't for that Xiao Yicai in the Long Sect, it might have been you who took this Qing Yun Sect's Martial Scholar."
Qi Hao's face remained unchanged and smiled, "Uncle Su is too flattering, in the last great test in the Long Sect, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai Xiao's talent was marvelous, his cultivation was profound, I was far inferior, I was defeated with conviction, I have nothing to say. However, regarding this 'Seven Veins Martial Arts' two years later, my master discussed with the Sect Master after making some changes in the rules, and I was specially ordered to come and inform the two uncles."
Tian Yanyu and Su Ru simultaneously moved and said, "What's going on?"
Qi Hao said, "My master, Cang Song Zhenren, thought that the intention of the 'Seven Veins Martial Arts' test is to find out the promising talents among the disciples of each vein and cultivate them. And the Qingyun Sect to this day, the disciples under the door has nearly a thousand people, of which the younger generation of new disciples especially, there is no lack of many talented characters. With this in mind, only once in sixty years, the opportunity, each line is only out of a few four people, is too little. So my teacher proposes that each of the seven veins out of nine disciples, of which the largest number of long door, and then one more person, into sixty-four people, on this basis, as always, draw lots against each other, a total of six rounds, to determine the winner. This can also avoid the regret of the vicissitudes of the pearl."
Tian not easy and Su Ru looked at each other, face even more ugly. His Great Bamboo Peak lineage of disciples less qualified, at first glance seems to take advantage, but in reality it is the number of people with the most talent Longmen Tongtian Peak and Cangsong's Dragon's Head Peak greatly favorable.
Su Ru saw her husband's ugly expression, shook her head slightly and showed it with her eyes. Tian did not easily know his wife's meaning in his heart, since this matter has been discussed by the Sect Leader and Cang Song, it is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in arguing, so he coldly said, "This is very good, I have no opinion."
Qi Hao smiled and said, "This is the best. In addition, before leaving my master had commanded one thing, that is, my this Lin master brother and Tian master a Zhang master brother is an old friend and old acquaintance, but also hope that Tian master let the two of them to catch up with the old times."
Tian Yanyu had anger in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he impatiently said, "Granted, granted."
Lin Jingyu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, just in the way of him being a senior elder, did not dare to have a fit, at this time, hearing that he was permitted, with a turn of the head, he walked towards Zhang Xiaofan, who was excited in his heart and also walked out.
Lin Jingyu walked to his front, carefully measured him, eyes suddenly red, astringent voice: "You have grown up, Xiaofan."
Zhang Xiaofan had mixed feelings in his heart and nodded his head vigorously one by one, saying, "You too. By the way, do you have any news about that tragic case in the village?"
Lin Jingyu shook his head and said, "I've asked my master many times over the past few years, but there's no progress, what about you?"
Zhang Xiaofan smiled bitterly, "I'm the same."
Lin Jingyu pulled his hand and said, "Let's go up outside and talk."
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment and turned his head to look at Tian Yiqiu and Su Ru, while Tian Yiqiu ignored him, Su Ru smiled and said, "Go!"
Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed and gave her a nod, rushing out with Lin Jingyu.
Above the lobby, at this time, there was only Qi Hao left as a guest. He was dressed in white, dashing and outstanding, without the slightest hint of a different look, and looked at the Great Bamboo Peak disciples one by one, before his eyes finally landed on Song Daren, arched his hand and smiled, "This is Song Daren, Senior Brother Song, isn't it? We've also met before in the last Grand Examination."
Song Daren hurriedly returned his salute and said, "Senior Brother Qi has a good memory and actually remembers me, the defeated one."
At these words, the crowd of disciples shrugged, and Tian Ling'er stood beside her mother and quietly asked, "Mother, how is it that Eldest Brother was defeated at his hands?"
Su Ru nodded and lowered her voice, "Yes. Back then, your Eldest Senior Brother managed to win two matches in a row, and your father and I were extremely joyful, but unexpectedly, when we encountered this person in the third round, we lost in a few rounds."
Tian Ling'er spat out her tongue and said, "Then wouldn't he be very powerful?"
Su Ru didn't answer her right away, but turned her head to look at her husband, only to see that Tian Yi was not easy to see, sitting motionless, and could only shake her head, saying, "Qi Hao's qualifications are indeed far superior to your Eldest Senior Brother's, and there were no false gimmicks in the competition that day, especially that Immortal Sword 'Frigid Ice' he cultivated, which was Cultivated from ten thousand years of ice crystals at the North Pole, it's extremely powerful, and your Eldest Senior Brother can't compare to him."
At this time, Tian Yiqiu suddenly seemed to feel something, also turned his head towards Su Ru, the two eyes met, both could see the words that were hidden in each other's hearts but had not been said, that is, if the Great Bamboo Peak disciples had this kind of talent, how good it would be!
Under the hall, Qi Hao is chatting with all the disciples, he has accomplished his cultivation, and has the trust of his master, he often walks in the world, he has seen a lot of knowledge, plus he is very eloquent, and his words are like pearls, for a while, all the people have become close, and even Song Daren, who was defeated by his hands, has lost his hostility.
A burst of laughter, Qi Hao did not know what jokes, the crowd is laughing, then Qi Hao eyes inadvertently fell to the Tian Ling'er who has been standing behind Su Ru, and then saw wrapped around her waist that "amber Zhu Aya", eyes bright, smiled and said: "This girl is not the well-known Tian Ling'er Tian Senior Sister?"
Tian Ling'er raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you know me?"
Qi Hao smiled faintly, walked up a few steps, looked at her and said, "Senior Sister Tian is just sixteen years old, but her attainments in Taiji Xuanqing Dao are already extraordinary, this is something known to all in this sect, and I have admired her for a long time. Once I see it today, it is indeed true to its name."
Tian Ling'er's face flushed red, and she snapped, "You haven't seen me do anything, so how do you know that my reputation is not false?"
Qi Hao was dumbfounded for a moment, and then laughed, "Sister Tian is not only as beautiful as a flower, but also has a sharp mind, which makes me ashamed to be a senior brother."
Tian Ling'er saw him a handsome and tall figure standing in front of her, and listened to his mouth praising her beauty, her heart suddenly burst of sweetness, but on her face she still made a color and said, "Just will talk nonsense, like what senior brother, no shame!"
Tian Yi did not easily frown, Su Ru already said, "Ling'er, do not talk nonsense."
Qi Hao hurriedly said to Su Ru, "Uncle Su mustn't blame senior sister, it's all because I spoke out of turn and offended her." Here, he slightly pondered, reached out and took out a small brocade box from his pocket, handed it to Tian Ling'er, and smiled, "Tian Sister, the 'Cooling Beads' in this small box was obtained by chance when I accompanied my master, Cang Song Zhen Zhen, on a chivalrous journey a few years ago to eliminate a sect of demonic sects, although it is not a precious treasure, it can also dispel heat and cool down the body. Although it is not an exotic treasure, it can dispel the heat, and it is also said to be good for women's skin care. Today, I will give it to senior sister, as if I am making amends for my sins."
Tian Ling'er's face was again red, before she could speak, Su Ru had already said, "Master nephew Qi, this Cooling Bead is also considered a treasure, Ling'er can't afford it, you'd better put it away quickly!"
Qi Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Su doesn't know, this coolness bead is not of great use to me, it's like chicken ribs. But Tian Senior Sister's youthful beauty is just right for it, it's also considered a little bit of my small token of appreciation, I hope Tian Senior Sister won't mind it."
Tian Ling'er looked at Qi Hao, her complexion was already greatly eased, reaching out to accept the locket, and said in a low voice, "Many thanks to Senior Brother Qi."
Qi Hao seemed to be extremely happy, his smile was full of smiles as he said, "No need to thank you, no need to thank you, senior sister, you are gifted and intelligent, your future is unlimited. Speaking of which, although there are many talents in the Green Cloud Sect, there are very few that can have your qualifications, and I am also willing to bow to them."
As Tian Yanyi listened in, a smile appeared on his face for the first time, and Tian Ling'er said, "Senior brother is overpraising."
Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I was also since childhood by the master of the ferry on the mountain, but like your age when the cultivation than you are much worse. But..."
Tian Ling'er is a young girl, listening to Qi Hao compliments in his heart to him very good, but heard him follow a "but", can not help but ask: "But how?"
At this time, even Tian Yanyu and Su Ru also turned their heads, wanting to hear what exactly Qi Hao meant by "but".
Only to hear Qi Hao say, "But if it's just about qualifications, there is someone who can be comparable to Senior Sister Tian."
Tian Ling'er froze for a moment and said, "Who?"
Qi Hao smiled and pointed outside the Hall of Silence, saying, "It's this Senior Brother Lin of mine. Since three years ago he was taken under my master, Cang Song Zhen Zhen, in just a few years he has progressed amazingly, and in the cultivation path he is even more gifted and talented, no one in this lineage of disciples can compare to him, and in three years he broke through the fourth layer of the Jade Clear Realm, and in a thousand years I have yet to hear of such a character." Speaking here, he was full of love and care, saying, "My master was full of praise for Master Lin, calling him a once-in-a-thousand-years wunderkind, almost comparable to that year's Ancestor Qing Ye!"
"Pah!" With a crunching sound, everyone was startled, turning their heads to look towards the sound, but they saw that it was Tian Yanyu with an iron face, his face was ugly, and the hard sandalwood armrest by his hand, was even hardened by him bending a piece of it down.
Qi Hao froze for a moment, whispered to Su Ru: "Uncle Su, is it that I said something wrong?"
Su Ru let out a strong smile and was about to open her mouth, when suddenly there was a shout outside the hall, "Oops!"
The voice did not fall, only to see a silhouette from outside the hall fell in, fell on the ground with a thud, the after-effects did not stop, actually also rolled back a few times, gray head and face, woeful. The crowd looked closely, not Zhang Xiaofan is who?
Big Bamboo Peak lineage of people have changed their faces, Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan is the most good, when the first rushed up, helped him up, and asked urgently: "Xiaofan, what happened to you?"
Zhang Xiaofan this fall is not light, the mind is still some dizziness, but the mouth still said: "No, nothing, I'm fine."
At this time, Lin Jingyu also ran in from the door, face with anxious color, said: "Xiaofan, you're all right, I missed a moment..."
Tian Ling'er heard that this person is bullying the younger brother, the gas upward, coupled with Qi Hao just praised Lin Jingyu face to face, there is a hidden meaning of their own than his meaning, the heart is the boss of the uncomfortable.
At this moment even less thought, get up and said angrily: "What right do you have to bully people?" Said the hand trick a finger, suddenly see the flashes of light, amber damask has been sacrificed, "whoosh" sound will be to Lin Jingyu rushed over.
Su Ru and Qi Hao shouted out at the same time: "Stop!"
But the amber vermilion damask was as fast as lightning, in a moment it had rushed to Lin Jingyu's face. Lin Jingyu, although shocked and unruffled, only feel the colorful, know that it is a fairy treasure, immediately retreated three steps, the left hand points to the sky, the right hand to the ground, holding the sword trick, shouted: "up!"
"Kuang jang" dragon roar, immediately resounded in the Hall of Silence, only to see Lin Jingyu whole body is covered by green light, a branch of the radiant green immortal sword offered up, the blade of the sword as clear as the autumn water, Ruiqi steam, a moment of time, not only to resist the amber Zhuya raging Road of the Xiaguang, but also the Hall of Silence in the face of every one of the people are reflected into the color of the turquoise.
Tian Yiqiu suddenly hummed and coldly said, "Cang Song is really willing to give up, he actually passed on the 'Dragon Cutting Sword' to him as well."
Qi Hao saw that Lin Jingyu was not injured and let go of his heart, smiling from the side, "My master once said that senior brother is gifted and will become a great man, so it's only right to focus on cultivating him."
Tian not easy face is even more difficult to see.
At this time in the field amber Zhu Aya and the Dragon Sword is holding each other, but see Tian Ling'er beautiful eyes round, arms a vibration, red clothes fluttering, the body slowly rose to the mid-air, right and left hand cross chest, for orchid finger, drink: "Bind the God!"
Words only fell, only to see the light of the haze Dun long, the original itself in front of a three-foot-long amber damask, suddenly backed up, flew to the Tian Ling'er body stopped, after a crunching sound, the light of the haze bloomed, see the wind on the long, fast and unmatched, in an instant I do not know how many times out of the length of the entire Shou Jing Hall over the sky filled to the brim, and immediately to the Dragon Sword of the blue light pressure down, moments later, turned into millions of damask ropes rushed to Lin Jingyu, surrounded him in the center! He was airtight.
Su Ru stood up and shouted into the air, "Ling'er, no wantonness!"
But only in her speech, ten thousand feet of red damask has Lin Jingyu surrounded tightly, the crowd not only can't see Lin Jingyu, even in mid-air Tian Ling'er figure, but also by layers and layers of red damask to cover.
Zhang Xiaofan only looked dumbfounded, godlike, suddenly heard someone behind him praised: "amber vermilion damask, when the name is true!"
He turned his head to look, but Qi Hao was staring intently at the field, reciting words under his breath without the slightest look of worry.
Seeing Tian Ling'er's victory has been determined, the crowd suddenly heard a piercing "hiss", layers of red damask suddenly appeared in a gap, through a little green light.
Tian Yunyao and Su Ru changed color at the same time.
"Roar!" A loud sound, such as the angry dragon hissing, sound moving the nine heavens, in an instant that gap enlarged a hundred times, the green light is back in full bloom, cracked damask out, Lin Jingyu human sword, the whole body faintly appeared in the shape of a dragon, such as an arrow out of the string, unstoppable rushed to Tian Ling'er.
The crowd did not lose color, but Tian Ling'er although shocked but not panic, hands protect in front of the chest sprinting to do the Tai Chi diagram, the empty space under the paddle, a few moments layer of red damask return to position in front of the body, turned into countless barriers.
Only to hear the sound of cracking, Lin Jingyu Dragon Sword piercing layer after layer of red damask, although the momentum is slightly slow, but the momentum of the forward momentum is not slightly reduced, look at the two will be divided into a life and death victory or defeat.
"Admit!"
A coldness over, the Dragon Sword as in the defeat, back to shock back. Lin Jingyu was shocked, raised his eyes to see, only to see in a moment, in the middle of him and Tian Ling'er and formed a wall of ice, the cold air attacked people, Chopping Dragon sword power is amazing, but can not rush through this wall of ice. And Qi Hao did not know when he had already grabbed in front of him, pulling him backward and withdrawing him by a distance of one zhang.
On the other side, Tian Ling'er was pale, but Su Ru in the blink of an eye had already grabbed on and pulled her in her arms, retreating to Tian Yi's side.
The two pieces of immortal magic treasure in the field without control, gradually lost light, each fly back to the master's hands.
Shou Jing Hall, a silence.
