One month later.
On the edge of the lonely cliff in the wind and snow.
Xia Ji sat under the tree. There was a fluffy soft cushion under the tree. There was an elegant small coffee table on the cushion. There were fine wines and wine glasses on the coffee table.
He just waited for a moment, and the sound of unobstructed footsteps came from behind him.
Not long after, a man wearing a gorgeous fur coat sat next to him. The man took off the sword from his back and put it in his hand. Then he looked sideways at Xia Ji and said with a somewhat superior air: " Why, aren’t you with your beautiful wife today?”
Xia Jidao: "She and I have our own pursuits, how come we indulge in our children's affair every day?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the wine flask, filled two glasses of wine, and said, "Please."
This man in rich clothes is named Yu Mingzi. He is the new elder of Dragon Slayer Temple and the host of this martial arts battle.
Yu Mingzi grabbed the wine glass, clinked it with Xia Ji, drank it all in one gulp, then squinted at the flying snow in the empty valley, and murmured as if casually: "A few days ago, the head brother led a team to Jiujiu In Shuicun, two pages of paper were found."
Xia Ji's eyes lit up, but he didn't ask.
Yu Mingzi saw the light in his eyes, but she was too careful not to elaborate further.
You know, if you can write your name on the urn page, you can be directly promoted to the fourteenth realm, which can add an extra thousand years of life. However, the urn pages are rare and there are many people in the thirteenth realm.
When Xia Ji was at his location, he felt that the rucksack pages were nothing, and he didn't even need to give them to him, but in fact, this thing was extremely precious in the sect.
Yu Mingzi didn't say anything, and Xia Ji didn't ask. Although according to the rules, he should lower his attitude and use a flattering tone to ask how to obtain the rucksack page.
But even if he was acting, he didn't even bother to act like this.
a long time.
The bottle of wine has been drunk.
A snowstorm has also been seen.
Yu Mingzi suddenly said coldly: "Is Xuan Qing really not interested in Lu Ye?"
Xuan Qing and Hu Bai are the pseudonyms of Xia Ji and Bai Zhu.
Xia Ji then said: "Please give me some advice from the Great Elder."
Yu Mingzi said: "I don't dare to give you advice."
After that, he stood up indifferently and left directly.
Xia Ji looked at his back, probably understanding what the new great elder meant.
He went out today, making it clear that he was not just here to visit his own family, but that there were rare things to live in and be sold at a high price.
He came to find himself because he may be one of the people who is qualified to obtain the "瓓 Pages", but there are many possible people. At the critical moment, he can exercise his right to speak to distribute these "瓓 Pages".
At this time, they were here to "wait for price" to see who was willing to pay more, or to directly show that they stood with him, but Xia Ji showed no sign of anything.
Therefore, Elder Yu Mingzi naturally left indifferently.
In fact, Xia Ji also knew what he wanted. Ever since the elder took one look at Bai Zhu when she unmasked her half a year ago, she had been fascinated by her. After that, she secretly showed her courtesy in every possible way, but how could Bai Zhu pay attention to him? .
So the elder wanted to make a breakthrough from himself through the "distribution of urn pages".
I have to say, this idea is really dirty.
Xia Ji shook his head, flicked the cup he had just been drinking from into the bottom of the valley, and then started drinking alone.
The wind and snow are crazy...
Soon,
A green bud suddenly grew on the frozen stone on the edge of the cliff where he was.
The green buds quietly unfolded, coiled up, and turned into a hand with roots.
The five fingers were stretched out, and there was a letter inside.
Xia Ji took the letter, opened it, and shook the paper. There were two pieces of paper.
He looked at it carefully.
The first piece of paper contained unfamiliar handwriting, but Xia Ji knew after reading it that it was the message sent back by the envoy he had sent to Weizhou before.
Weizhou is also in the same chaos. The killings between sects are not unique to Yanzhou.
The second piece of stationery was written in Ji Xuan's handwriting, and it contained some changes in several special sects that Xia Jirang investigated, including the Demon Clan in the North, the Buddhist Sect in the South, and Madam Xue's Baiyun Villa.
Without exception, they all "fell".
Sects all over the world seemed to have suddenly fallen into this kind of madness.
After Xia Ji finished reading the letter, he burned it casually.
The year-end martial arts battle at Zhanlongguan is just two days away.
That night, he and Bai Zhu lay on the bed and summarized the information again.
The two of them have basically figured out the problem, and the problem lies with the "瓓叶" or the "瓓狠人".
Bai Zhu suddenly said: "I can probably guess what's going on."
She said this in a very serious tone, "After winter, I have to go back. Also, if you meet Pangu in the future, don't tell him that you have slept with me on the same bed."
Xia Ji:…
He suddenly felt something bad and asked tentatively: "Are you a woman?"
Bai Zhu:…
Her eyes curled up in laughter, like a "funny" raised eyebrow.
Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, people like you have no gender."
Bai Zhu said: "No, you are wrong. I am a woman. The flirtatious fox you once had a dispute with is also a woman. In addition, the Xingxing mother who injured you is also a woman. You have been abused by women."
Xia Ji:…
Sexy fox? Are you talking about Su Tian
Star mom? Is this talking about Taishang
He thought for a while and decided to change the topic, so he asked: "Where is Yanzhou to the south?"
Bai Zhu said: "Go and see it yourself when you have time, I won't tell you."
Xia Ji suddenly said: "You are so useful, why not join me."
Bai Zhu said: "If you can defeat Pangu one day, let's talk about it."
Xia Ji asked: "Who is Pangu?"
Bai Zhu thought for a while and said: "A truly invincible person, and I am his assistant."
Having said this, Bai Zhu suddenly turned sideways, and a smile suddenly appeared on his goat-like face: "Do you feel that you are very strong?"
Without waiting for his answer, Bai Zhu said directly: "You'd better not think like that. Now you, your followers, your apprentices, and even the trump cards you hide are not enough for them.
And I always just need to have a good time, that's it. Why do I need to be so strenuous and troublesome like being with you? "
Xia Ji didn't take it seriously, and didn't even look angry or arguing at all.
Bai Zhu rolled over, looked at him with her chin up, and said with a smile: "Hey, you look a bit like Pangu... But, what are you focusing on?"
Xia Ji didn't answer, just said: "Do you think I won't pose a threat, so you cooperate with me like this?"
Bai Zhu shook his finger and said: "No, no, no, on the contrary, I think you are qualified, so I am with you. You are the tenth person in my eyes, but there may be eleven more in this world." There are twelve people, but there will never be more, and how can you get together
Therefore, we are now facing this almost certain dilemma, and we stand together. But without this dilemma, you will also die at the end of this catastrophe. "
Xia Jidao: "I killed the ancestor of the Wu family."
Bai Zhu said without hesitation: "Old Wu is already alive. I'll wait until later to see if Old Wu kills you, especially since you stole his beloved knife."
Xia Ji got the answer that "the ancestor of the Wu family has been resurrected" and closed his eyes to sleep. There are really many enemies now, including the Kuroshio, the ancestor, the invading universe, and even the universe where he is to some extent. Too…
There is no human enemy in sight, and all enemies are completely invincible.
And he already knew what Bai Zhu had guessed.
…
…
Two days later.
Xia Ji directly used the "Dragon Sword Sutra" and simple magical means to defeat all opponents on the martial arts stage.
However, every time he struck lightly, he just defeated the person. Since then, the great elder Yu Mingzi who presided over the competition had the intention to make things difficult, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Then, Xia Ji naturally got the opportunity to "receive".
Under the extremely envious eyes of all the disciples, he was led to the back hall.
In the hall, the master of Dragon Slaying Temple and several elders and elites from the Fourteenth Realm were waiting for him.
Xia Ji glanced over and found that no one was here, not even the Great Elder, but only part of them were here. However, it was normal for such a witnessing ceremony to be missing people.
The master of the temple pinched his long beard and said with a smile: "Xuan Qing, it is not easy for you to stand out among many disciples, but you still need to pass the test of progress before you can be punished. Are you ready?"
Xia Ji said: "Ready."
The temple leader said "Okay", then waved his hand directly and said: "Xuan Qing, come with me."
After that, he turned and left.
Xia Ji followed him and walked into the back hall.
This is a unique cloister courtyard.
There is a stone chessboard shrouded in mist in the courtyard.
The spectator had settled down and took his seat, and said straight to the point: "Let's have a game."
Seeing that Xia Ji had not moved, the viewer explained: "This chess game is a retrograde chess game, containing the spirit of the immortal. Every move is like taking a step in life, and you know the ups and downs of it. If you have a bad character, you only need to move After just a few steps, you'll lose your mind.
If there are too many moves, it will be like thousands of troops fighting, and those who make the moves will also fight with them. If the character is a little worse, they will be infected by evil spirits, and chaos will occur.
And only those with pure and strong minds can win.
As a monk, strength is of course one part, but character is also very important. Therefore, before you accept the punishment, you need to have a round with me to see if you are qualified to accept the punishment. "
Xia Ji looked at the chess game, then at the viewer sitting opposite, as well as the elders and elites of the Fourteenth Realm standing around, and suddenly felt that there was an extremely subtle weirdness in the atmosphere.
This kind of weirdness is really unknown if you don't get involved.
If he were an ordinary monk, he would have believed evil at this time.
But Xia Ji knew that there must be something wrong with this chessboard.
However, he had been waiting for this question for a long time.
So, he responded gently: "It's my pleasure."
Then he sat opposite the viewer.
The two of them guessed first, with the viewer taking the black one and Xia Ji taking the white one.
The viewer picked up a sunspot, dropped it, and hung it on the corner. The whole person was actually covered by the mist, making him appear ethereal and out of dust.
Xia Ji also dropped white stones accordingly.
Just when the chess piece in his hand touched the chessboard, the surrounding scenery changed, as if the soldiers were arranging the formation and the first troops were ordered, and the master of Dragon Slaying Temple was extremely far away.
The two sides used the vast territory in front of them as the battlefield and began to recruit troops and form formations.
The master of the temple makes moves very quickly, and so does Xia Ji...
Not long after, the two dragons, black and white, began to strangle and fight each other.
After a while, the commander Xia Ji and the viewer had also entered the situation, leading the soldiers to confront and kill among countless soldiers and horses in a smoky and intricate manner.
Each move consumes energy, and it can be said that the further you go, the more exhausted you become.
Xia Ji looked at the state of a normal monk and slowly showed a tired look.
And after a while, the entire chess game was filled with a howling wind, and a violent wave of soldiers poured down like water from a bursting embankment. Its force was so fierce that it was impossible to breathe.
Xia Ji was overjoyed and came.
The abnormality he had been waiting for for a long time finally came.
Therefore, he still imitated the appearance of a normal and excellent monk and began to work hard to meet the enemy and fight back.
However, for some reason, the raging wave of soldiers on the opposite side were all wearing black armor. They were overwhelming and rushing from a distance. The ground shook, and the sound was like a war drum tearing apart living beings, trampling on people's hearts. It's just scary.
Xia Ji was sure that if an ordinary monk heard the war drums, his mind would be completely shattered, so he decided to hold on a little longer and take a look.
At this time, in the illusion of this chess game, he stood on a high ground. The soldiers behind him were all in desperate situations. Looking around, they were all enemies in black and heavy armor.
And for a moment, he saw the enemy troops rushing towards him like a strange black tide.
Xia Ji roared with his sword, and started to charge unyieldingly with the remaining soldiers. More and more beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the sweat rolled down, and wherever it was washed, patches of pale skin were exposed. It showed that his whole body was beginning to weaken.
And he and the spectator were making moves faster and faster, almost to the extreme. It was obvious that this game was only in the midfield, and the later battle had just begun, and the most complicated battle had just begun. The two of them seemed to no longer watch the chess game, and kept playing. The move is like lightning.
The sound kept ringing in the courtyard, and the group of elites surrounding Xia Ji and the viewer became more and more smiling.
That smile was filled with infinite evil and weirdness, and there seemed to be a bit of joy and greed.
They all stared directly at Xia Ji, but there was no one else here.
Even the great elder Yu Mingzi didn't seem to be one of them.
a long time…
The fog cleared.
The game is over.
Xia Ji felt that the energy consumed was enough to make a monk at the level of the Son of God faint, so he persisted for a few more times and immediately lay down on the chessboard. Before he fainted, he made a helpless look to the viewer. Obviously I apologize in advance for my rude behavior.
Snapped…
His cheek fell on the stone table and he pretended to faint.
The visitor inspected Xia Ji for a moment, then looked back at the chessboard. His eyes showed a bit of shock.
The others saw the spectator's shock and gathered around.
The viewer said gloomily: "He actually beat half of my son. This person's strength and potential are extremely strong. I can't let him suffer from these two pages, otherwise it will be a waste..."
He thought for a while and suddenly shouted: "Zhou Zhen."
An elder came out.
The master of the temple said: "Hurry up and report this matter to the Lord of Resentment, and beg the Lord of Resentment to give you the true pot."
"yes!"
