Chapter 18: The Furious Beast
Song Daren suddenly such as a heavy blow, stunned for a moment, the sound lingers in the ear, such as immortal music, a moment later he woke up as if in a dream, lightning-like turn around, only to see behind them stood five, six female disciples, look at their clothing is the Qingyun door has always been only accepting female disciples of the Xiaozhu Peak under the door.
And when the first out of the row against them, is a melon face beautiful woman, hair like clouds, skin like snow, the corner of the mouth hanging a faint smile.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the woman, and was about to turn around and ask which line of fellow disciples it was, but unexpectedly when he looked back, he saw that from Wu Dayi to Zheng Dali to He Da Zhi, all of them had weird smiles on their faces, and his mind moved, and then when he looked at Song Daren's appearance, he saw that this usually smart and capable eldest senior brother had a silly smile on his face, and was dumbfounded, and seemed to be at a loss as to what to say.
He turned his thoughts around and guessed the woman's identity.
Sure enough, He Da Zhi and the others on the side were about to watch a good show, but unexpectedly Song Daren suddenly fell into the realm of dementia, that dull look not only the Big Bamboo Peak crowd couldn't stand it, even the various female disciples on the opposite side of the Little Bamboo Peak were also covering their mouths and snickering.
The beautiful woman standing in front of Song Daren had a slight blush on her face and called out in a low voice, "Senior brother Song."
Before Song Daren could react, the greatly impatient He Dazhi had already interjected, "Haha, Senior Sister Wen Min, you, and I haven't seen each other for many years, how have you been lately?"
Wen Min's beautiful eyes shifted to this lean person and stopped for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is He Da Zhi, Senior Brother He, right?"
He Da Zhi nodded his head repeatedly and said, "It is exactly under me, Wen Senior Sister has a good memory, you and I only met once a year ago, and you actually remembered me as well, it really flatters me."
Wen Min smiled faintly and said, "Senior Brother He resisted a strong enemy in the last competition and showed his skills, I naturally remember."
He Da Zhi's face was red, in the last Seven Veins Martial Arts, he encountered an expert from the Long Sect's Tong Tian Peak in the first round of the competition, and although he tried his best, he still lost the battle, however, he is a shrewd person, and immediately laughed it off and said, "Those old memories, don't mention them, my younger brother's shallow cultivation, compared to Wen Min's senior sister and our eldest senior brother, it's far less than that. Speaking of which, ever since the last great test, our eldest senior brother has been pining for you at all times!"
Wen Min's face was slightly red, but she didn't reply, only glancing at Song Daren out of the corner of her eye, but the few young senior sisters behind her had already laughed out loud.
Song Daren a bold man, but at this moment is embarrassed like a shy teenager, and hastily resisted voice: "No, no, which I sometimes..."
"What?" Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a young woman behind Wen Min on the opposite side of the room, "So you don't miss our senior sister Wen Min?"
Song Daren's heart jumped and he secretly raised his eyes to look at Wen Min, only to see that Wen Min was also looking at him, her beautiful eyes not blinking.
Anxious in his heart, he blurted out, "No, no, I do miss..."
"Ha!"
Big Bamboo Peak and Little Bamboo Peak crowd laughed together, especially a few young women behind Wen Min, laughed especially brightly and loudly, causing other nearby disciples of various veins to also look here a few more times.
He Da Zhi to wait for the crowd to stop laughing a little, the color of the small bamboo peak of the women said: "Sisters, in fact, our eldest brother means this, he is not not miss Wen Min sister, but also not always miss..."
"What is that?" A female disciple from Little Bamboo Peak asked with a loud laugh.
He Da Zhi glanced towards the woman and smiled, "He is remembering Senior Sister Wen once after a moment, and then pronouncing her name once after a moment, that's why he said he didn't miss it all the time."
The crowd laughed out loud, Song Da Ren glared fiercely at He Da Zhi, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Wen Min, only to see that she had a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't seem to have any anger, he couldn't help but secretly feel a little joyful in his heart, but his mouth nagged and said, "Senior Sister Wen, they are just loving jokes, you, don't mind."
Wen Min laughed a little, turning her head to first stop those laughing senior sisters behind her, then looked deeply at him and said, "Then what do you think in your heart?"
Song Daren's face was bitter, his mouth said "I, I, I" a few times, but he couldn't say anything, looking at him like this, those few women couldn't help but laugh again.
Wen Min shook his head, glared at him, ignored him, walked to Tian Ling'er's body, pulled up her white jade-like palm, looked at her carefully, said: "You are Ling'er senior sister, right?"
Tian Ling'er curiously said, "Yes! How do you know me, Senior Sister Wen?"
Wen Min laughed, "You often come to visit Master on our Little Bamboo Peak along with Uncle Su Ru Su, so we've known you for a long time. After not seeing you for a few years, you really have grown more and more handsome."
Tian Ling'er held Wen Min's hand and laughed, "Where, how can I compare to Senior Sister Wen Min's flower-like appearance." Speaking here, she lowered her voice and came forward to whisper, "My eldest senior brother could be mesmerized by you, Senior Sister Wen."
Wen Min glanced at Song Da Ren, who immediately revealed a silly smile on his face as she shook her head and whispered, "Your big brother! What an elm brain."
Tian Ling'er "Puff" a laugh out, immediately feel and this Wen Min senior sister hate to see each other, at the moment Wen Min gently pull, Tian Ling'er will follow her to the group of women in the middle of the Xiaozhu Peak, chirp a few chat down, immediately will be mixed with the familiar incomparable. Laughter, from time to time from the group of women in the middle of the transmission out, but Song Da Ren and other people to the side of the air.
Song Daren stood aside, full of want to go up to speak with Wen Min, but did not know how to speak, only to stand in place.
Not to mention the others, even Zhang Xiaofan was shaking his head when he saw it.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly heard Du Bishu beside him "eek" and said, "There are so many people here again!"
Zhang Xiaofan felt strange in his heart and turned his eyes to look, his body suddenly shook. Only to see a group of people walking over in the distance, a total of more than thirty people, all dressed in white, heroic, in other words, it is not impossible to say that they are high and mighty.
However, the first few people were extraordinary, especially the front one, white clothes like snow, handsome and dashing, not that Qi Hao and who is it?
Qi Hao!
Zhang Xiaofan stared at the group of people walking over, repeating the name heavily in his mind, while hearing Fourth Senior Brother He Da Zhi beside him suddenly laugh a little, whispering, "The Longshou Peak lineage is really crowded."
Qi Hao also saw the Great Bamboo Peak crowd at this time and immediately walked over, with the crowd behind him following.
Walking up to him, he arched his hand and smiled at Song Daren, "Senior brother Song, you, I meet again."
Song Daren didn't dare to be slow, and returned his salute, "Senior brother Qi, you're also here, I wonder if you're participating in this grand examination?"
Qi Hao laughed: "Originally, junior brother didn't want to participate, but my master thought that junior brother's cultivation still needed to be honed, and ordered me to participate, so I shamelessly took up a spot in this vein."
Song Daren nodded and laughed, "That's great, with Senior Brother Qi's talent, the winner this time is none other than you."
Qi Hao shook his head repeatedly and said modestly, "No, no, senior brother Song is too flattering."
While the two of them were talking about window dressing, Zhang Xiaofan searched behind Qi Hao with wide eyes, and sure enough, within a few moments, he saw that Lin Jingyu, who was standing behind Qi Hao, was also sweeping his eyes around, apparently looking for something as well.
The two of them touched each other's eyes, and were so happy that they walked out at the same time, holding each other's hands, as if they had a thousand words, but they couldn't say anything for a while.
Only after a long time did Lin Jingyu say, "Xiaofan, did you take part in this Grand Examination?"
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "Yes, my master is extremely good to me, and gave me the grace to participate, what about you?"
Lin Jingyu said, "I also participated, humph, what's so good about that short master of yours, two years ago I went to your place, he treated you like that..."
Zhang Xiaofan quickly said, "No, he is not usually like that, that day he was just angry."
Lin Jingyu and here when friends rare reunion, do not want to let these boring topics to disturb the mood of each. At the moment diverged from the topic, laughed: "you this kid, two years do not see, but grew so high?"
Zhang Xiaofan whacked him a fist, laughing and scolding: "How, you can grow up, not allowed me high?"
Lin Jingyu laughed, the two of them on the side to talk to themselves, this time there is no longer any master teacher on the side, what words are said a pain in the ass, others do not care about them.
Just in the middle of talking, Zhang Xiaofan unintentionally looked back, but saw that Qi Hao somehow saw Tian Ling'er and Wen Min's group of women standing on the side, and was walking over to greet them, his heart ached for no reason, even his face changed.
Lin Jingyu looked at him and was surprised, "What's wrong, Xiaofan?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said with a forced smile, "Nothing." Just as he said that, his eyes were still looking at Qi Hao's side.
Qi Hao had walked up to Tian Ling'er and Wen Min by this time, and he first smiled and greeted Tian Ling'er, saying, "Senior sister Tian, do you still remember me?"
Tian Ling'er had been cheerfully talking to Wen Min and the other Xiaozhu Peak people, when she suddenly saw Qi Hao suddenly appear, somehow, her face turned red, and her voice became a whisper, "Yes, good day senior brother Qi."
Looking from afar, Tian Ling'er's clear and beautiful face was slightly flushed, and her big watery eyes were actually dreamlike at first glance, but this beautiful face reflected in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes from afar, and it was actually as if a knife had cut her, hurting in the depths of her heart.
"Xiaofan, what's wrong with you, how did your face suddenly become so white?" Lin Jingyu was unsure and said with concern, "Are you sick?"
"No, it's fine, I'm fine." Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice.
In the distance, Wen Min's mind was so sharp that after looking at Tian Ling'er's appearance, she had a rough idea in her heart, and immediately said to Qi Hao, "Senior Brother Qi, how come you only recognize Senior Sister Tian, and you don't even have all of us sisters from Little Bamboo Peak in your eyes?"
When she said this, the women behind her all rose up, and Qi Hao hurriedly said, "What is it that Senior Sister Wen says, how dare I neglect all the sisters of Little Bamboo Peak like this?"
Wen Min let out a light laugh and said, "Senior Brother Qi is participating in the Seven Veins Martial Arts again this time, so I guess he must be aiming to win?"
Qi Hao's eyes flashed with brilliance and said, "Senior Sister Wen passed three levels in a row in the last Grand Examination, but she lost to Senior Brother Xiao Yicai of the Long Sect, which was a stifling experience. I guess after a year of intensive cultivation, coupled with Master Shui Yue's careful cultivation, now with the identity of the number one expert of Xiaozhu Peak, she must also be rushing to this Grand Examination Crown!"
Wen Min smiled and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare, how can I dare to compete with you, Senior Brother Qi, and the title of Little Bamboo Peak's number one expert is something I can't afford to take on."
Qi Hao frowned: "Wen you are too polite..."
Wen Min laughed: "Not so, my teacher Shui Yue masters study heavenly, my qualification is stupid, can not get her old man's true biography of one or two, this vein has another talented sister, Qi brother can be careful."
Qi Hao's eyes were filled with essence, but his face smiled, "That's even better, I think the one who can make Senior Sister Wen worship her must also be an unearthly wizard, I really want to see it soon."
Wen Min lightly laughed, nodded his head and said no more, pulling Tian Ling'er, who was not too reluctant to leave, to the side.
※※※
At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the sky above the square, sounding like thunder, shaking the entire field.
Hundreds of Qingyun disciples on the square looked up, only to see a red light shooting from the square, a moment to stop to the square above, a red immortal sword emanating Dao Dao immortal qi, horizontal in the square in mid-air, above stood a Tongtian Peak long door Taoist priests, aloud to the various veins of the disciples standing in the square said: "brothers, the head of real life with the head of all the order to participate in the seven veins of martial arts test of the brothers. senior brothers to go up to the Jade Clearance Hall to speak."
The mountain wind blew, the white clouds drifted, and after a while of commotion from the hundreds of Qing Yun disciples in the square, one after another people stepped out and walked towards the front end of the square.
Zhang Xiaofan had thought that those disciples with high cultivation would directly offer up their magic treasures to go up in the air, but unexpectedly, looking at the crowd, they all seemed to have no such intention, and one by one, they walked honestly.
He walked with Lin Jingyu, looked to the left and right, only to see Tian Ling'er and the small bamboo peak Wen Min and other women walking together, smiling, seems to be in a good mood, Song Daren and other big bamboo peak disciples are followed by them.
As for the Longshou Peak's lineage, from Qi Hao's bunch of people came out seven or eight people, but at this moment, they went elsewhere and greeted the disciples of the other several lineages who also came out, especially Qi Hao, who familiarly called out the names of the disciples of the other several lineages and greeted them, eight-facetedly, while the disciples of the other various lineages also greeted them without fail with smiles, and appeared to be very well-traveled.
"Senior Brother Qi he is very good at making friends," noticing that Zhang Xiaofan's gaze had been on Qi Hao, Lin Jingyu, who was walking beside him, said, "Moreover, his cultivation level is high, and he has the trust of his master, Master Cangsong Zhenren, so in the Qingyun Sect, everyone gives him a lot of face."
Zhang Xiaofan listened in his ears, his face was expressionless, he just nodded slowly.
Walking to the end of the square, is the Qing Yun six scenery in the "rainbow bridge", Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu in five years ago was rescued on the Qing Yun Mountain have walked here, at this moment the hometown revisit, the heart can not help but a burst of emotion.
Step on the Rainbow Bridge that ghostly craftsmanship like bridge, looking at the bridge on both sides of the rainwater flowing down the clear water, still reflecting the psychedelic beauty of the seven-color rainbow, five years ago, the two do not know the world's affairs of the young man, is now under the door of the Qingyun disciples.
Walking at the end of the crowd, Lin Jingyu suddenly sighed lowly: "Five years!"
Zhang Xiaofan was silent and just walked forward. The scenery in front of him was just as it was back then, as the rainbow bridge rose, the white clouds gradually all fell under his feet, and the azure sky was as clear as a wash across the top of his head.
"Why don't you ride your sword up?" Zhang Xiaofan suddenly said.
Lin Jingyu had a slight look of surprise on his face and said, "Don't you know? We disciple generation are not allowed to ride our swords in the air near the main hall of Tongtian Peak. I heard Qi Hao senior brother said, this one is to show respect for the long door, in the jade clear view of the holy land to walk on; secondly heard in our Qing Yun door to build the initial, Qing Yun ancestor in order to protect this place, had set up in this Tongtian Peak Peak under a very powerful forbidden system, called the 'Immortal Execution Sword Formation', anyone as long as unauthorized air to fly to Tongtian Peak, will certainly be subjected to 'Immortal Execution Sword Formation', the 'Immortal Execution Sword Formation'. Anyone who flies over Tongtian Peak without authorization will definitely be killed by the 'Immortal Execution Sword Formation'."
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and said, "No wonder there are so many experts from the same sect, but there is actually not a single sword rider. By the way, is that 'Immortal Execution Sword Formation' powerful?"
Lin Jingyu gazed at the mountain peak towering high in front of him and said, "I haven't seen it either, but I think it's extremely powerful. I heard that this 'Immortal Execution Sword Formation' was passed down from Ancestor Qing Yun, and then Ancestor Qing Ye perfected it a thousand years ago, making it extremely powerful. Since then, I have never heard of anyone daring to come to our Qing Yun Mountain to spread their wildness."
Zhang Xiaofan followed his gaze to the majestic and tall mountain and sighed, "So powerful!"
The two of them walked along with these dozens of people across the Rainbow Bridge while talking like this. Along the way, Zhang Xiaofan looked towards these elites of the younger generation of the Qing Yun Sect, but saw that amongst these sixty-odd people, men accounted for the majority of them, with female disciples estimated to be only thirteen or four, and most of them were also dressed in Little Bamboo Peak attire.
But regardless of men and women, when you look at them, almost every one of them has a great deal of elegance, the men are imposing, the women are beautiful and generous, handsome men and beautiful women, all over the place. Anyone who looks at it, will also say that the Qing Yun Sect has a bright future.
After the rainbow bridge, to the green cloud door town mountain spirit animal "water qilin" lives in the blue water pool. With five years ago Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu first came to different, this is the disciples of the Qingyun door respect called "spirit" of the ancient beast, this time did not hide in the pool of water, but a long time ago lying in the pool side of the open space on the sun.
However, looking at its lazy look, with five years ago is no different.
Qingyun disciples walked down the rainbow bridge, one by one to salute this head of behemoth, and then stepped on the pool side of the steps, toward that high above the main hall of the Jade Clearance Temple.
Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan followed behind the crowd and quietly said to Zhang Xiaofan, "Do you still remember what happened to us when we first arrived?"
Zhang Xiaofan nodded, his heart palpitating, "I remember, getting drenched in water, but that's fine, seeing such a big monster scared me."
The corner of Lin Jingyu's mouth revealed a smile, saying, "That's right, in the past when we were in the Grass Temple Village, when did we ever see such a thing, I thought that the biggest animal in the world was the dog bear on the Green Cloud Mountain!"
Zhang Xiaofan lost his voice and laughed out loud, for a moment the crowd turned back to look at him, Zhang Xiaofan was startled and hurriedly stopped his laughter. Lin Jingyu was also taken aback and coughed dryly twice, his face slightly red.
The others looked for a few moments, then turned their heads and continued walking, Zhang Xiaofan then sighed in relief and turned his eyes towards Lin Jingyu, the two of them met their gazes and both guffawed.
The dozens of people in front quickly walked past, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu walked down the rainbow bridge, came to the side of the blue water pool, and respectfully bowed to that water qilin.
However, from the beginning of this water qilin seems to sleep especially dead, anyone who salute also did not respond, now buried in a big sleep, snoring like thunder, ten percent is not aware of the two Qingyun juniors in the salute to it.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu also did not think that the Water Qilin would answer them, after saluting, they walked up the steps.
Zhang Xiaofan said, ''Jingyu, the last time you came to Great Bamboo Peak, you were in a hurry and I didn't congratulate you. I can't imagine that you have such a high level of Dao after only a few years of work."
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "This is all due to my benefactor, Cang Song Zhenren and all my senior brothers who taught me with all their heart," here, his voice gradually turned low as he spoke, "In fact, in the first few years, whenever I was using my energy, I thought of the pile of bloody corpses in the Grass Temple Village, and it was hard to bear in my heart, so I I ruthlessly practiced hard, hoping that one day I would be able to get hold of a great revenge for my parents and the people in the village."
Zhang Xiaofan's heart sank and reached out to pat his shoulder. Lin Jingyu fixed his mind, gathered his mood, and spread his face and smiled, "Alright, let's not talk about the past. How about you! How's the cultivation going?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "You know that I have not been as smart as you since I was a child, all these years on the Great Bamboo Peak, my master and all my senior brothers have been very good to me, but I'm too stupid and my progress in cultivation has been extremely slow, so I'm very sorry to my master and senior brothers."
Lin Jingyu hummed and said, "Where are you stupid, I think it's 80% because that short master of yours purposely made things difficult for you and didn't pass on the real Qingyun Sect Cultivation Dao."
Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect that the dispute two years ago, Lin Jingyu still holds a grudge against Tian Yuxi even today, and immediately laughed, "No, my master is not that kind of person. Forget it, don't talk about me, right, is your magic treasure still the same 'Dragon Cutting Sword' from two years ago?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and smiled, "This divine sword is the supreme treasure of the Dragon Head Peak lineage, and with the love of my benefactor who passed this sword to me, in addition to being overwhelmingly powerful, the sword has a spiritual nature, which helps me immensely in my cultivation."
Zhang Xiaofan's envy in his heart also showed on his face, saying, "That would be best."
Lin Jingyu smiled and asked back, "What about you! Little Fan, do you have any magic treasures?"
Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded for a moment, and subconsciously reached into his arms and touched the black "burning stick". A trace of coldness, if anything, ran up his palm.
"No," he said in a low voice, "My cultivation is not enough, I can't drive a magic treasure yet."
Lin Jingyu didn't care, as if he had already expected it, and comforted him, "It's alright, Xiaofan, as long as you cultivate diligently, you'll definitely succeed, anyway, we're still young, so consider this time as a visit to see what's going on."
The corner of Zhang Xiaofan's mouth moved, looking at his old friend's kind face and listening to his gentle words, but there was not a trace of relief.
Seeing the world?
Anyone would think that he had come here just to see a little, and thinking about this, a sudden indescribable anger burst in his heart, like a fire burning in his deep heart, but it dissipated in the blink of an eye.
He bowed his head and did not speak, not even with the intention of blaming his friend, for he realized that even he himself felt the same way.
As if responding to his thoughts, the "burning stick" in his arms, which was still connected to his palm, suddenly reacted, and in a few moments, the coldness flourished, spreading directly from his palm to his shoulder.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked, but then realized that this feeling was not harmful to his body at all, but rather cool and comfortable. He looked to the side, but saw that Lin Jingyu was oblivious.
Just as Zhang Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a deafening hiss erupted from behind them.
Not only Zhang Xiaofan, even Lin Jingyu, whose cultivation was far superior to his, actually shared his whole body shaking, his ears roaring and tinnitus, and some of the Qingyun Sect disciples walking in front of them appeared to be in the same situation.
The crowd was surprised, in this Qingyun Sect holy land, how could there be such a strange sound, and then have turned back, a look, the crowd is even more horrified, only to see in the Aqua Pool, that has been sleeping soundly the beast of the water Qilin, suddenly awakened, vicious back to the head, the large eyes actually penetrated endless ferocious light, the back of the hairs stand up, open a bloody mouth, revealing the two long sharp fangs, is actually posing A posture of attack.
Its target was the disciples of the Qing Yun Sect who were standing on the steps.
