"At that time, the beauty Zhou Zhiruo was like a lotus emerging from water, floating on the sinking dragon pool. She was dressed in emerald green clothes with white borders, really like a lotus flower, gracefully floating on the mud."
"The number one master of the sect's younger generation, Dugubao, stared behind him for a long time. He saw that Zhou Zhiruo's waist was graceful and curvy, and his heart was full of admiration. He was about to jump forward and hijack him to go home and marry him. The dragon and the phoenix sleep together, the big quilt hides the beauty, only hears the panting, but sees the red one after another... "
"Seeing that a delicate flower is about to be torn off on the spot, at this very moment..."
The guard disciple who was spitting all over the place stopped suddenly, and his eyes drifted to the teapot beside him.
The new disciple who came over to replace the guard immediately handed over the teapot in a hurry, filled the teacup with tea graciously, and quickly held it to the disciple who was telling the story like a storyteller.
"Speak quickly!" Everyone urged.
"Suddenly—" the guard disciple made a long tea-sipping sound, and continued, "At this very moment, Prince Mo, the sect's youngest second master, appeared out of nowhere and stood behind Zhou Zhiruo, Separated the Dugu brand."
"As the saying goes, a concubine is better than an old wife, and a love rival is better than a father's hatred. When Dugu Lao and Prince Mo met, they were extremely jealous, and they hit each other without a few words." "Prince Mo was distracted when he heard this. He was punched in the chest by Dugu Lao, spurting blood and retreating."
"Although Dugu Lao won one move with his punches, he also tabooed that Prince Mo is the direct son of Empress Xuanwu, so he didn't dare to do more damage, so he reluctantly stopped."
"When Zhou Zhiruo saw that Prince Mo was injured, tears immediately dripped from her beautiful eyes, pear blossoms brought rain. She rushed forward and yelled..."
Suddenly, a man's deep questioning voice came: "Is what you said true?"
The storytelling disciple who was frothing at the mouth turned his head and saw that it was Mr. Long, the chairman of the board, who was accompanied by Mr. Mang, and he trembled all over. Hastily knelt down on the ground: "I have seen Lao Long and Lao Mang."
The other disciples also knelt down in unison: "I have seen Lao Long and Lao Mang."
Elder Long didn't even bother to get him up, he just said, "Quickly answer."
The guarding disciple didn't dare to get up, and replied on the ground: "Yes. This disciple saw Dugubao hurt Prince Mo, and then left. The distance is relatively far, and I can't hear what they said at all."
"Did Zhou Zhiruo ever make a move?" "Huh!" Old Long snorted.
Old Mang kicked directly: "Useless things. You made up these words just now?"
"Disciple guilty!" The guard disciple was kicked until he almost vomited blood, but he still struggled to get up and kept kowtowing.
Elder Long and Elder Mang ignored him, and turned to ask the others: "Where are Prince Mo and the others? Where did they take Zhou Zhiruo?"
"They went to the third pass before the time of two cups of tea." A disciple hastily reported the truth.
Elder Long and Elder Mang didn't say much, they just jumped forward.
The three passes at the entrance of the Sanshengzong are not so much the scenery, but a posture revealed to the disciples or guests. Of course, it also provides a benefit. If you can crack the organs of each level. Then you can get some kind of preferential treatment inside the door. This can be regarded as a way to select special students.
While the two were leaping, Mang said: "Brother, do you think it was Zhou Zhiruo who entered the formation at that time. Taking the spar from the formation eye broke the formation?"
"Nine times out of ten!" Long Lao said, "I can't think of anyone else in the world who can sneak into the sect without making a sound, except the Sect Master of the Sword Sect."...
"But how does Zhou Zhiruo know where the eye of the array is?"
"Maybe she has dabbled in techniques such as heavenly stems and earthly branches?" Long Lao himself also hesitated: "If she can really do this, she will be a first-rate genius."
Mang Lao was surprised: "This kind of genius who is proficient in magic is rare in the sect in ten years. Especially among the younger generation, such talents are extremely rare, let alone geniuses. Could it be that you, Long Lao, have the heart to accept disciples?"
"...That's out of the question." Long Lao thought for a while and said, "It's just about female disciples. I don't like it."
"Yes, if it's a man, you can still think about it. Besides, she is Prince Mo's maid, so it's inevitable to accept her as an apprentice..."
"It's not yet confirmed whether she has the ability to break through the formation. It's too early to say. You and I will find someone quickly. We'll make further calculations." Elder Long sped up, and Elder Mang hurried to the Green Bamboo Pavilion.
The Green Bamboo Pavilion is the third pass through which Sanshengzong enters. Nishui River, Sinking Dragon Pond, and Green Bamboo Pavilion are the three major sights at the gate of Sanshengzong.
Although the so-called passes are equivalent to scenery and will not hinder the path of those who enter the sect, they are similar to the Nishuihe formation and the test of being trapped in the dragon pool. If you can rely on your own strength to break through and pass the level, there will naturally be corresponding rewards. If you don't get these rewards, for the disciples who enter the sect and want to learn art, it means losing opportunities, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a pass.
Elder Long and Elder Mang approached the Green Bamboo Pavilion, watching from a distance a large group of people surrounded them.
They walked slowly and approached quietly.
Beside the Green Bamboo Pavilion, a large circle of people are solving puzzles.
This is a location with a good scenery, the bamboo forest is like the sea, and the courtyard is elegant and interesting.
Surrounded by a large circle of people was not Wu Zhe, but a man in his thirties.
"I think I have been studying spells for more than 20 years before I can achieve what I am today. I just solved a problem. It's nothing. You needn't praise me." This 30-year-old man was dressed in a green robe, Wave to those around you.
"The Qingpao guest is good at spells, I have heard about it for a long time. When I saw it today, it really lived up to the reputation." The steward of the Three Sacred Sect of the Cuizhu Pavilion was present, and he was still polite to the Qingpao guest.
There was a group of people around, including seven or eight defensive disciples, Wu Zhe, Prince Mo, and Bao Lao, as well as some other people who were traveling with Qing Pao Ke.
The Qingpao guest and his party consisted of five people, with this Qingpao guest as the head.
But what is noticeable is that they occasionally looked hostilely at the disciples of the Sanshengzong.
It turned out that they were Jin State's trainees in Wu State, just like Chu Gongzi and others sent by Wu State to Qi State.
The group of trainees sent by Jin State are not young, and they don't know what to think. For example, the trainees sent by Wu Guo and Qi Guo are all young people with great potential.
In the past few days, there was a civil turmoil in Jin, and these people were a little flustered for a while. After thinking about it for a long time these days, after discussing it, I decided to come to Sanshengzong to continue my practice.
After all, the two countries have not yet officially declared war, and the Xuanwu Emperor's proclaiming ceremony is coming soon, so the Sanshengzong did not reject their application to enter the sect to practice.
What did these people enter the Three Holy Sects for? I don't even need to think about it, I want to learn some skills and go back. But are the members of the Sanshengzong willing to teach them? The answer is self-evident.
Not to mention that the state of Jin was almost annexed by the state of Wu, the Sanshengzong's attitude towards the exchange trainees from various countries determined that they would not pass on any real things to them at all. So these Jin country trainees intend to get rewards through the three passes.
They came in before Wu Zhe, so they were not locked out.
The first pass was at the Nishui River, and all five of them were lost in the formation and could not get out. If Wu Zhe and others hadn't arrived, the guarding disciples would have brought them out, otherwise they would still be lingering inside.
The second level was trapped in Longtan, and they finally didn't lose face. At least Qingpao Ke is not weak, and he has shown his kung fu of stepping on stones and crossing mud.
He pocketed a pile of stones in the wide sleeves of the Jin people's unique robe, threw them into the bushes that were occasionally seen in the mud as footsteps, and walked all the way through the mire. In the end, he got three five-flavored condensing qi pills rewarded by Sanshengzong.
Wuwei Ningqi Pill is already worthless to Wu Zhe, and he doesn't even bother to pick it up if it falls on the ground.
For all the passers-by who jumped over the trapped dragon pool, it was an unexpected joy. After all, this level is only a test of the level of profound energy, and it is relatively easy to get rewards. If you can't get through, just take the boat directly, and there is no loss.
But the rewards for Wu Zhe all the way here are pitiful. Although half of the journey through the Dragon Pond, the second half was taken away by Leopard Lao, and because of the conflict with the ugly A Luo, those guarding disciples never thought of rewarding her. In fact, Wu Zhe passed the first two tests, but everyone didn't fully realize it.
Especially in the first level, Nishuihe's formation was directly ruined by her... She even stole a few crystals and ran away, pretending that nothing happened...
Now, she was pretending to be a passerby, standing next to Prince Mo who had already changed his clothes, pretending to be a maid.
Because Prince Mo was punched into the mud in the Longtan before, he changed out of the clothes of the royal family and the nobles, and changed into a black outfit of the Sanshengzong. So Qing Pao Ke and the others didn't pay much attention to them.
On the contrary, Wu Zhe was quite conspicuous. As the only woman, especially such a beautiful woman, her existence made Qing Pao Ke and others secretly excited. Normal men have the excitement of showing off in front of beautiful women.
Qing Pao Ke has just filled in a vacant map of the Nine Palaces. It is to fill the nine numbers from one to nine into the three-horizontal and three-vertical Jiugong figure, so that the sum of each horizontal, vertical, and oblique is equal.
In fact, this is the basic skill of the technique. It is difficult for ordinary people, but for people like Qing Pao Ke who have practiced magic arts, it is quite simple, and it can even be called the basic method.
Naturally, the Sanshengzong did not take the Nine Palaces Picture as the content of the assessment, and the reward was only a pot of tea for consolation. There are still two patterns on the walls of the Green Bamboo Pavilion, which need to be filled in.
According to the introduction of the defensive disciples, after the three patterns are filled in, the garden behind the pavilion will be opened and rewards will be given out.
"The Nine Palaces Map is a small achievement of many years of intensive research in the lower sect. I don't want to have fellows here." Qingpao Ke boasted so boldly that he actually said that the Nine Palaces Map was in his sect.
Wu Zhe curled his lips when he heard this, and the defensive disciples of the Sanshengzong were even more furious.
