Qixuan

A month passed while talking and reciting, and finally came the day of trial at Qixuan Mountain.

In the early morning, Ji Chen was pulled from the bed by Yan Heng, and he went to wash up with sleepy eyes. During this month, Ji Chen was dragged by Yan Heng to compete every day. It was called a sparring, but in fact, Ji Chen was crushed unilaterally.

Ji Chen felt that although compared with Yan Heng, his cultivation base was a bit weaker, but after traveling all over the world for so long, his foreigner's kung fu was enough to make up for the lack of cultivation base.However, things backfired.

Every day Ji Chen was so tired that he fell asleep and didn't even want to eat dinner.

During this month, everyone is safe and well, there is no movement on the side of Ghost King Duanyu, and the preparations for the trial and the sword sacrifice meeting are also going on in full swing at Qixuan Mountain.

Yan Heng helped Ji Chen tie up the hairband, and Ji Chen took the opportunity to squint for a while. Compared with the towels that were not good for twisting in Beiyan City before, now he can easily comb his hair and make snacks from all over the world. I have to say that Yan Heng Heng's ability to take care of people is really improving by the day.

Yan Heng patted Ji Chen's shoulder lightly, "Ah Chen, wake up."

"Huh?" Ji Chen yawned with half-opened eyes, "Hey, I'm awake, I'm awake, I've remembered everything. This time you are the chief examiner, I'll just go down by myself later."

Yan Heng smiled and said, "Okay."

Ji Chen leaned against Yan Heng, eyes half-closed, "Let's make a bet, little beauty, if I take the first place in this trial, can you promise me a request?"

Yan Heng leaned over and picked Ji Chen up from the stool. Ji Chen hung on him and couldn't survive. Yan Heng patted him on the back, "You didn't take the first place, so I agreed to you."

Ji Chen stood up straight and stretched his waist, "There is pressure to be motivated."

Yan Heng said warmly: "Okay, you take the first place and I promise you one request."

Ji Chen walked out with a satisfied face, and said complacently: "Little beauty is an idiot, she doesn't even know she sold herself.

Ji Chen purposely took a long detour and arrived at the main entrance of Qixuan Mountain. Thinking carefully, this was the first time he had been to the main entrance of Qixuan Mountain, that is, the main entrance of Qingxu Gate of Yaoguang Peak. When he arrived, there were already Many aristocratic disciples and casual cultivators gathered here.

Qixuan Mountain is the most accomplished sect in the cultivation world, and its mental methods and incantations are all authentic, so there are quite a few people who come here every time because of its reputation, most of them are casual cultivators.

Ji Chen raised his head and glanced at the endless stone steps, he was a little apprehensive, he had to carry a glass of water from the first step to the last nine thousandth step, and he had to make sure that the water was not spilled, this first level was counted.

If you really can't climb up, spilling water is regarded as an abstention.

After living on Qixuan Mountain for so long, Ji Chen finally had a relatively comprehensive understanding of it. Before that, he only knew that the seven peaks were arranged according to the shape of the Big Dipper.

The five gates in Qixuan Mountain are Qingxu Gate, Xuanjian Gate, Taizhen Gate, Tianji Gate, and Miaoyin Gate. The master of the gate is Ling Shuangzi, who is also the master of Qingxu Gate. Huo Yizi, Xuan Qingzi and Miaoyin Fairy, they all learned from Taoist Lingyin, and the remaining two peaks of Tianshu and Tianxuan are the library pavilion and prison of Qixuan Mountain.

Qingxu Sect, Xuanjian Sect, Tianji Sect Walking Sword Sect, Taizhen Sect Cultivate Beasts, and Miaoyin Sect master rhythm.

Although Qixuan Mountain is full of spiritual power, the Devil's Swamp at the bottom is extremely sinister and evil, and the venerables watch it to death.After thinking about it, Ji Chen felt that the reason why the five sect masters of Qixuan Mountain couldn't really leave Qixuan Mountain might be because of this Devil Swamp.

Ji Chen also heard a gossip that the Taoist Lingyin did not become immortal, but fell. Before that, he injected all his life's cultivation into five tokens. The Sect Master's Order to Suppress the Mountain is something used to suppress the Devil's Swamp.

Just as Ji Chen was fascinated by his thoughts, he was almost crushed to the ground by a powerful coercion without paying attention. People around him cast contemptuous glances at him. Ji Chen directly ignored those gazes, and looked straight at Yan Yan who was standing there. Hang the youth on the left.

Four disciples wearing Qixuan Mountain Qinglian school uniforms stood on the first step of the ladder.

Ji Chen suddenly felt that the world was quite small, and saw the man in white, with delicate features, long but not narrow eyes, holding a white jade folding fan.He knew that Dongfang Feiyuan had a twin brother, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

Dongfang Yu and his brother were carved out of the same mold, but they looked a little more serious than his brother. You must know that Dongfang Feiyuan's flair is something that Ji Chen is ashamed of.

Dongfang Yu opened the folding fan and said with a smile, "Brother, how many people do you think can be left this time?"

"Junior brother, do you want to make a bet?" Yan Heng took the roster next to him, glanced at it, and wrote down the origins and names of all the people, "Just bet on the monster you just caught how?"

Dongfang Yu was choked immediately. He looked at Yan Heng with embarrassment and said, "Brother, you are taking advantage of the fire. I can't make such a bet. You are the examiner this time. It's not up to you to keep how many." Calculate."

Yan Heng didn't make it difficult for him, and said with a smile: "Then let's start. The first level of the Qixuan Mountain trial is the Nine Thousand Ladders. Please, please. If anyone is unable to hold their breath, they can choose to pour the water in the cup In the process, please don't use talisman seals, spells and other instruments that rely on real energy."

Dongfang Yu said: "You can also choose to look at the scenery along the way. The scenery on Qixuan Mountain is one of the best in Kyushu."

There is nothing to say about the scenery on the ladder, the winding path leads to seclusion, the bamboo forest is lush, the air is fresh, and the birds are singing.

Qixuan Mountain is full of spring all year round. The mountain is high and steep, and there are iron bridges between the mountains.

From time to time, the mountains are covered with snow.

Ji Chen walked in it with a sense of peace of mind, if not for the crowd of people around him.

A group of people chattered and talked, showing off their family background.In fact, apart from Qin, Gu, Lu, and Mo, there are other cultivation families, but they are not as famous as the previous four.

Ji Chen raised his breath and walked a few steps quickly.I have traveled all over the world for many years, how can I do it without any foot strength.

The bursts of noise made Ji Chen's ears hurt. A group of disciples from aristocratic families surrounded a child like philistines, swearing obscenely, and punching and kicking the child from time to time.

Ji Chen didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and was about to walk over quickly, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the young boy's face on the ground, a small expressionless face.

Langyue? !

Ji Chen turned back and kicked a little fat man on the buttocks, "Hey hey hey, why bother to bully people like this, maybe they are from the same family in the future, it's so embarrassing to see people who look down and don't look up!"

The little fat man staggered a few steps from his kick, and almost dropped the cup in his hand.

One of the teenagers folded his chest, raised his chin, and said impatiently, "Which valley did you emerge from?"

Ji Chen smiled and said, "I haven't asked which valley you came from yet."

The young man tugged at his clothes and said, "Have you seen the things in Suhuai Embroidery House?"

Ji Chen shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before. There's a pile of them in the warehouse, and I've never looked at them. How much do you want? I'll give it to you."

The little fat man said angrily: "You bastard!" After speaking, he rushed towards Ji Chen.

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows and was about to dodge, when a figure flashed from his side, and slapped the little fat man's chest, the little fat man fell on his back, and the cup in his hand was also shattered.

The little fat man wailed immediately, he got up and pointed at the person who came, "You are that onion again, do you know who my father is?!"

The visitor showed the spirit unique to young people, and said: "You guys are too bullying, you dare to say that dogs look down on people when you bully the few, and you dare to show off your family background?!"

The boy pointed at him and said, "Who are you?"

The visitor smiled and said, "Listen up, my grandfather is Gu Zichen!"

Someone pulled the boy and said, "Don't mess with him, he is the third young master of the Gu family."

The young man couldn't swallow this bad breath, and didn't dare to confront him head-on, so he could only point at Gu Zichen and Ji Chen viciously, "Wait for me."

The little fat man grabbed the young man and said aggrievedly: "Second brother, how have we ever suffered this kind of anger at home, no, I can't swallow this breath!"

The boy threw the little fat man away, and said angrily, "You don't even look at who this person is! Don't drag me, my trial is not over yet!"

Gu Zichen made a face, and said to the little fat man and the young man, "Let's talk about it after you can climb the nine thousand steps."

Ji Chen shrugged his shoulders, he didn't need to do anything, it saves effort and time, why not do it?

Ji Chen walked over and pulled Lang Yue up, and asked, "How is it? Are you all right?"

Lang Yue shook her head.

Gu Zichen said excitedly: "So you two know each other, let's make friends, my name is Gu Zichen."

Langyue said coldly: "This is a place for trials, not a place for you to make friends." After speaking, Langyue left the two of them and walked up alone.

Gu Zichen stood where he was a little surprised, he had never had this kind of deflation since he was a child, so he thought it was a bit novel.

Ji Chen comforted him casually: "Don't take it to heart, just go up, it's only less than five thousand."

Gu Zichen said loudly: "It's okay, I won't take it to heart, he might just be slow-tempered, it'll be fine once we get to know each other well."

Ji Chen shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect Gu Muyi to be so shrewd, how could she give birth to such a simple son.

Ji Chen rushed up in a hurry, not daring to neglect at all, if someone else took the first place, it would be game over!

There are [-] steps in the ladder, and every step is a practice, so Ji Chen ran up the mountain in such a daze, he didn't realize why, and hurried up the mountain.

At the end of the stone steps stood a beautiful female nun. Ji Chen ran up and handed the cup to the nun. He supported his knees and panted for a while. It is really not a joke to walk up these nine thousand steps. For play.

Ling Xuanyin cupped her hands and said, "Congratulations to this fellow Taoist."

Ji Chen waved his hand and asked, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, am I the first?"

Ling Xuanyin nodded in agreement.

Ji Chen patted his chest, thinking: Fortunately, fortunately, it's not too late.

Ji Chen randomly found a place in the shade of a tree, and sat down. He half-closed his eyes, the sunshine in spring was just right, and the wind brought the smell of revival. Ji Chen picked up a grass and held it in his mouth, feeling dizzy Sleep, woke up too early today, making him a little sleepy now.

Unknowingly, Ji Chen leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep. When he woke up again, the first round of the trial seemed to have already ended.

Yan Heng was sitting beside him, just able to block the sunlight on his face, Ji Chen himself didn't know when he leaned on Yan Heng's back, and even pressed his clothes into a fold, Ji Chen Wiping his mouth, he was glad that he didn't drool on Yan Heng's clothes.

Everyone around them sat on the ground, recharging their energy.

Yan Heng said warmly: "Are you awake?"

Ji Chen rubbed his eyes, "Huh? I fell asleep."

Yan Heng said: "You are too tired. It happened that they were all very tired, so they stopped the trial for the time being."

Ji Chen nodded, and gently squeezed Yan Heng's fingers under the cover of his wide sleeves.

Yan Heng asked: "Have you rested yet? Then let's continue."

Ji Chen pulled Yanheng, and said softly, "You won't stop the progress of the trial because of me, will you?"

Yan Heng shook Ji Chen's hand back with a smile, without denying it, he got up and said: "You fellow Taoists must have rested enough, then let's have the second trial."

Ling Xuanyin walked to Ji Chen's side and said, "This fellow Taoist, you haven't measured your bones yet, please come with me."

Ji Chen nodded in agreement, and followed Ling Xuanyin to the desk.

In the brocade box on the desk is Dragon Yin, a section of keel inlaid with nine milky white beads, as long as fresh blood is dripped on it, the beads will shine.

Ji Chen glanced around, there were only about [-] people, probably drained of energy after a short rest, and everyone looked dull.

Ji Chen stretched out his hand to take the dagger Ling Xuanyin handed over, and slashed at his palm, blood gushed out and dripped on the keel, Ji Chen immediately put his hand behind his back, and the wound healed in an instant.

Longyin emitted a strange color, and the beads on it lit up one by one. When the seventh bead was brightened, it seemed as if the light was taken away. The seventh bead flickered a few times, and finally went dark. .

Ji Chen looked at it and asked, "Does this mean that I have six bones?"

Ling Xuanyin nodded in agreement, and handed over a wooden plaque with Ji Chen's name engraved on it.

Ji Chen took the wooden plaque to express his thanks, without paying too much attention to this matter, he walked around the desk to Taihua Hall.

The second trial was held in front of the Taihua Palace, on a platform as high as one person, which was comparable to a foreigner's kung fu.A cultivator not only needs extraordinary talent and hard work, but also has good foreign skills.The second competition in Qixuan Mountain is to seal the true energy in the body, relying on boxing, palm, leg, sword and so on.

The second trial was a wheel battle, and the first person who went up had to stay on it unless he was knocked down, or jumped off by himself.

Coincidentally, Ji Chen was the first to pass the ladder trial, and Ji Chen was the first in the second round of the competition. Since he had the most rest, he rushed to the ring first.

The ranking of the second trial is determined based on how many people compete with them.

Ji Chen sighed silently, supported the platform with both hands and flipped up, that's right, he flipped up, he didn't fly up very gracefully, and then landed beautifully.

Ji Chen sat cross-legged on the ring, his series of actions made the people around him start whispering.

Qie Ziqing frowned and said, "My fellow Taoist, what are you doing?"

Ji Chen said: "Competition, can't you see it?"

Dongfang Yu shook his fan and said with a smile: "This fellow Taoist is so confident, if he can't hold on for a while, he can jump off the ring by himself."

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's start."

Langyue stepped on the ground, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and flew to the ring, and the people below were full of praise.

Langyue clasped her hands and said, "I'm offended." After speaking, she rushed over at lightning speed.

Ji Chen pulled out a hidden knife from his belt and threw it straight out. Lang Yue didn't even blink her eyes, she leaned her body slightly and dodged it.

Ji Chen chuckled, he kept the gesture of throwing the knife, and made a movement of holding the right hand, the hidden knife that had been flying out was folded back, and Lang Yue ducked in low body, only then did he realize that Ji Chen's hand There is an extremely slender chain tied to the end of the hidden knife.

Langyue kicked on the ground with one foot, and then rushed to Ji Chen with a burst of momentum. The latter turned sideways, and accidentally opened a corner of the bag on Langyue's back with his fingers, waiting for Ji Chen to see what was inside. , his complexion changed drastically for a while.

Ji Chen got angry, took advantage of Langyue's inattention, and kicked him off the stage, Ji Chen squatted on the edge of the ring, smiled and said: "I think it's not convenient for you to hold that thing, do you want me to help you?" You keep it, and then we will compare again."

Langyue narrowed her eyes, got up and straightened her clothes, and said coldly, "No need."

Ji Chen beat on the platform for fifteen consecutive rounds before jumping off automatically. He felt that if he continued to beat, he would be kicked off sooner or later. That would be too embarrassing, and besides, Yan Heng was still watching from below.

Ji Chen walked back to the shade of the tree, took out a jug of wine from the ring, drank it on his own, to relieve his fever and fatigue.

The sunlight above his head was suddenly blocked, Ji Chen thought Yan Heng was coming, and said with a smile: "Little..." He raised the jug halfway, then folded it back.

Dongfang Yu shook his folding fan and said, "The Taoists are friendly and elegant, the wine is sweet but not greasy, with a faint aroma of peach blossoms, it must be the peach blossom drunk in the Qixuan Mountain area."

Ji Chen turned his back to Dongfang Yu, took a sip of wine and said, "Hey, this peach blossom drunk is of course good, after all, it is brewed with rootless water." After speaking, Ji Chen took a cup from Najie and poured it Handed it to Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu took it and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Dongfang Yu returned the cup to Ji Chen after drinking, and asked, "My fellow Taoist, can I ask you a question?"

Ji Chen rolled his eyes in his heart, he turned to look at Dongfang Yu and asked, "What's your relationship with Dongfang Feiyuan?"

Dongfang Yu's expression froze for a moment.

Ji Chen was very useful to Dongfang Yu's little expression, he stood up and answered for Dongfang Yu: "He is your brother, right?"

Dongfang Yu took a step back and said vigilantly, "You are..."

Ji Chen sighed in his heart, he quietly said: "Go and see him when you have time, after all you are brothers."

Dongfang Yu smiled lightly and said, "Haha, what are you talking about, Fellow Daoist, I have never had any older brothers." After speaking, Dongfang Yu turned around and left in embarrassment.

Looking at Dongfang Yu's back, Ji Chen raised his head and took a sip of his wine. It was hard for Dongfang Feiyuan to miss him all the time, but he didn't expect this kid to be so heartless.

The wheel battle is the most exhausting, many people can't handle it after a few rounds, and there are very few people who can surpass ten people on it.

But what interested Ji Chen was the young man named Gu Zichen, who danced with a silver spear superbly, with an unstoppable youthful vigor that dazzled everyone.

But Langyue stayed on it for twenty times.

Ji Chen thought in a dull manner: It's over, it's over, I won't be able to get the first place this time.

A black rage came from a distance and hit Gu Zichen's back. Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, quickly released the sealed true energy on his body, rushed to Gu Zichen's back with a stride, and raised his hand to block the attack. A bit hostile.

The hostility collided with the sleeve embroidered with the spell, and the sleeve was instantly shattered into powder.

Ji Chen raised his voice and said, "Duanyu, are you here to give me the swords of the gods?"

Duanyu appeared in mid-air, dressed in a black robe like the mist of a high mountain, from top to bottom, his small face was still pale, he slowly fell to the ground, and said: "The young master is here under my command, I can think about it." I give you the swords of the gods."

Ji Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, I'd better grab it myself." After speaking, Ji Chen drew Lu Li from the ring and went up to meet him.

A blue sword aura was one step faster than him, colliding directly with Duanyu's ghost aura.

Duanyu smiled softly: "Brother, didn't you expect us to draw our swords to face each other so soon?"

Yan Heng remained silent, stretched out his hand to pinch the fire formula, squeezed his fingers on the sword, and with Yuechen's swing, a fire dragon rushed towards Duanyu, Ji Chen jumped up from behind, and pointed his toes on Yuechen's sword, Yan Heng raised his wrist, and Ji Chen used his strength to rush over with the fire dragon.

Yan Heng said without turning his head, "Go and report to the Master Master."

Ling Xuanyin, who was on alert, immediately rushed towards the Taihua Palace.

Ji Chen looked at Duanyu and said, "Qixuan Mountain has an enchantment, how did you get in?"

Duanyu smiled and said: "My young master, in this world, as long as I want to go, there is no place I can't go to."

Ji Chen chuckled and said, "Why don't you share with me the way to break the barrier."

Duanyu grabbed the fire dragon with one hand, and held Luli's blade in the other. He whistled suddenly, and Yin soldiers appeared out of nowhere, and one of them blocked Ling Xuanyin's way.

Ji Chen smiled and said, "If you don't say yes, then I'll take your finger." After speaking, he turned the blade over and cut off Duanyu's index finger.

Black mist rose from the fracture, and a new finger soon formed.

Duanyu moved his fingers, and said: "The young master gave me such a big gift as soon as we met, so I will give the young master a gift too. It's reciprocal." After finishing speaking, he crushed the fire dragon with his left hand, Zuo Claw hit Ji Chen's chest, intending to take out Ji Chen's heart with one palm.
