The test in the phantom array continues.
A group of elders discussed around Su Zui tsk tsk, and then turned to other people's images to watch.
Although Su Zui is excellent, he can't ignore the performance of others.
Moreover, the younger generation of disciples in Xuanmen are not useless, there are still several who have performed very well.
For example, Meng Qingzhi and his party.
In the video, Meng Qingzhi took several members of the Meng family to break through the formation in an orderly manner and take Lingzhi. There were several people in the Meng family who were more talented than him, and they seemed to be following him.
Originally, people from other families were somewhat hostile to him because of their previous grudges in the Brahma Small Secret Realm.
But the situation was stronger than people. They couldn't help but hesitate when they saw the rapid progress of the group led by Meng Qingzhi.
In the small secret realm constructed by this magic array, the resources are very rich, so the competition relationship between them is not really big. If they can cooperate well, it will even be more beneficial to the final result.
Teamwork has always been allowed.
Before entering a cave, the group of people who had a feud with Meng Qingzhi hesitated to say anything and wanted to join his team, but they couldn't hold back.
After all, after that time, they had troubled Meng Qingzhi and beat him hard. Now that Meng Qingzhi is in power, it would be good not to retaliate against them!
However, unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Meng Qingzhi to take the initiative to contact them: "If you don't mind, why don't we act together, so that everyone can play the biggest role."
Those people were still a little twitchy: "Oh... oh... We have no opinion."
The handsome-looking young man didn't mind, he smiled slightly, and there was a touch of softness in the coldness.
He said gently: "The formation in the cave is a bit dangerous, presumably because the resources inside are more precious, have you thought about it?"
The person who heard it didn't care: "It's okay, let's go in." It wouldn't be a problem anyway.
Before they came to the competition, of course, they had inquired about it clearly. The damage in the magic formation was not fatal. Even if they died inside, they would only be injured after they came out. Of course, they were not afraid.
So although Meng Qingzhi said so, no one took it seriously.
Meng Qingzhi smiled, and there was some unexplainable taste in that smile, but it was fleeting.
He said: "Okay, now I will talk about the division of labor for everyone, so as to prevent the enemy from being confused."
After the division of labor was completed, the group lined up and entered the cave in an orderly manner.
An elder stroked his beard and said, "This Meng Qingzhi...is that the one that the Meng family also remodeled last year?"
The elder next to him applauded: "Yes, it's him. Yes, he can bend and stretch, and he can ignore the past grudges against those who have bullied him. This child has a very good mind."
There were also elders who snorted in disinterest: "What is humiliation? At that time, in the Brahma Small Secret Realm, Meng Qingzhi did indeed commit filthy deceitful acts. Now, why is it his turn to disregard his previous suspicions?"
"It doesn't hurt to talk one by one, try to change your family's things and be deceived!"
His grandson was the most deceived by Meng Qingzhi at the time. He even gave out the high-level magic weapon inherited from the family. Although he would come back later, it was also the result of their joint pressure on the Meng family.
In short, he has always been brooding about this matter, thinking that Meng Qingzhi is a person of inferior character.
Some people see it clearly: "After all the effort to form a team with others, in the final analysis, it is still because he is not strong enough to fight alone. Look at Su Zui and Xie Yu, the two of them together are better than These seven or eight people have more to gain.”
The elder of the Meng family said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, you can't say that, now is the era of peace, Xuanmen is no longer the time to shout and kill, and we have to work together to do everything, so leadership should be the most important thing. of."
Immediately, someone who disagreed with him retorted: "Oh? So what do you mean, as long as you have the ability to lead, you can be a leader even if you are a rookie? You say this, but you don't give any thought to the past dynasties of our Xuanmen factions. The heads of the heads are in the eyes! Those heads, all of them are the most outstanding people of their generation."
"Let's not talk about it, let's just say that the president of our Xuanmen Association is also a figure who has been able to bring down the Ten Guilds with one force."
Elder Meng blew his beard and stared: "You, you... what are you doing so much?!"
Didn't he just protect the juniors of his family, why did this person start to go online with him? !
The elders unknowingly divided into two factions, arguing with each other, and the smell of gunpowder was thick for a while.
Seeing that he was involved, the association elders had to cough lightly: "Okay, stop arguing, stop arguing, just watch the game carefully, we will score later, don't waste time arguing, what is it like. "
Although the world today is peaceful, the desires of the human heart will never end, no one will care about interests, and every resource may lead to a fight.
These Xuanmen aristocratic families, including his own family, have a lot of friction and dirty things in private, and Xuanmen is actually not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.
That is to say, there is a ruling above, and these people usually have concerns and do not dare to fight too hard.
Thinking of those "VIPs", the president's heart trembled again.
Fortunately, that day, he only carefully brought his confidants to pick up those adults, and didn't let others know, otherwise, it would definitely cause another uproar.
The person who did not deal with the elders of the Meng family did not forget to stab at the end: "The president said that the people in my Xuanmen themselves respect the strong, and only the weak will avoid the important and take the light."
…
In short, although Meng Qingzhi's performance was excellent, it was only relative to the people around him.
With Su Zui and Xie Yu Zhuyu in front of him, his performance that should have caused a shock in the end turned out to be both bad and bad.
…
"I always feel something is wrong." Xie Yu said, looking at the dark hole in front of him.
After Meng Qingzhi led a dozen people into the cave, Su Zui and Xie Yu quickly found the cave, which was said to contain very precious treasures.
This cave is a deliberately set test site for the competition. There are many clues along the way to guide them to this place. If they can solve the problems in this place, there will be a lot of extra points for the final result.
However, looking at this destination, Xie Yu felt an inexplicable unease in his heart, "Otherwise, we'd better go somewhere else."
Su Zui glanced at him.
There are indeed some unusual secrets in this cave.
He didn't expect Xie Yu to be so keen, but after washing the tendons and cutting the marrow, is it different
Su Zui said lightly: "Then you wait outside, I'll go in and see for myself, they should have already entered by looking at the traces."
Although he has no interest now, the task to be done is still to be done.
"No, I'll go with you." Xie Yu refused without thinking.
Although he was nervous, he would never let Su Zui go to danger.
He reached out and touched his hundreds of high-level talismans and a few high-level magical instruments, and only then did he feel a little bit more secure.
The two of them moved forward slowly. On the other side, Meng Qingzhi and his group had reached the formation in the depths of the cave.
Looking at the formation with the faint light in front of them, everyone looked a little dignified.
"Why is this formation so obscure, can anyone understand it?"
"It's so powerful, can we really open it?"
The people from the formation family in the field also wondered: "Ashamed, this formation seems to be too old, I can only see that it is a formation within a formation."
Everyone was talking about it, but Meng Qingzhi suddenly said: "I seem to have seen a similar formation in a small secret realm before, and I have successfully opened it."
Everyone turned their attention to him, urging him to preside over the formation.
Meng Qingzhi was humble for a while before agreeing: "Then I won't refuse, but I'm not completely sure. In case of any accident, I can't guarantee it..."
Everyone was completely concerned: "It doesn't matter, we are helpless here anyway. Besides, this is just an illusion, not a real small secret realm, so we can't really let us die."
Meng Qingzhi lowered his eyes, hiding the strangeness in his eyes.
He made it clear that what happened at that time would have nothing to do with him.
According to the strength attributes and other basis, he arranged everyone in all directions of the formation.
Quietly, he placed himself in a position farthest from the eye of the formation. If something happened, he would not be the first to be attacked.
A dozen people input spiritual power into the formation at the same time, and the formation vibrates slightly.
The light lit by the technique quietly extinguished, and an ominous smell began to spread in this dark space.
A ray of black aura broke through the confinement of the formation and floated out like a mist.
Immediately, the entire formation seemed to be slammed into by something, and it cracked like a spider web from the formation eye.
A dark figure as tall as a mountain appeared in front of everyone.
·
The elders who watched the images in the illusion through magic were a little surprised: "This, what is this, Patriarch Xu, is the setting like this?"
The head of the Xu family looked at the thick black animal shadow in the image, and the tiger's eyes widened: "No, that's not right, this formation was originally set to be buried with a thousand-year-old red-clothed ghost! It shouldn't be like this..."
Someone tremblingly said: "Look, does this, this look like... Xuanwu?"
Xuanwu is one of the four spirits with the same name as Suzaku. It actually includes two creatures, the turtle and the snake. The snake wraps around the turtle.
And that dark shadow, although the light is too dark to see the specific details, it can still be vaguely seen that it has a thick back armor, and on the back armor, there is also a dark ribbon around it, look carefully, Also in the shape of a meandering snake!
After about a few seconds, four red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness.
It was the thing's two pairs of eyes, inlaid on the turtle's head and the snake's head, respectively.
The red light reflected everything in the cave clearly, and the dark and evil shadow was indeed the appearance of the legendary basalt beast.
It's just pitch black, with scarlet eyes, where is there a bit of a congenital spirit beast? !
Looking at Xuanwu, who was obviously in a wrong state, everyone gasped in unison.
…
In the passage not far from the formation, Su Zui paused and narrowed his eyes.
Still a step too late, the accident has already happened.
Xuanwu, which was contaminated by evil energy, was probably born.
Evil qi is a clue that runs through the whole book. Many mythical beasts and beasts have been contaminated by evil qi and become demons. Not only did Phoenix suffer the poisonous hand, but even Xuanwu did not escape such an end. Few of them escaped as lucky as Suzaku.
In the original book, the protagonist made a name for himself in the world of self-cultivation by killing countless creatures polluted by evil energy.
This desperate battle with Xuanwu was passed down as a classic by later generations.
It's just that Meng Qingzhi's strength at this time in the original book was much higher than it is now, and the battle with Xuanwu was extremely thrilling. Except for Meng Qingzhi, none of the people in the entire fantasy formation survived. Qingzhi, what will happen
Are you afraid that you can't even protect yourself
Su Zui quickly turned a few thoughts in his heart and said to Xie Yu, "Go out quickly, the contents have already come out."
Xie Yu felt dangerous when he heard what he said, and naturally he didn't want to.
Su Zui said, "You are not an opponent. Staying is just a hindrance for me."
A group of people inside is already cumbersome enough, one less is one.
Seeing his serious face, Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and stuffed Su Zui with his talisman and magic weapon, and ran out.
·
Su Zui guessed well, but Meng Qingzhi really felt it was very difficult.
He didn't know it was Xuanwu here.
After he received Suzaku's feathers as a gift last time, he carried the feathers on his body, and he had the ability to sense evil spirits.
Before he arrived at the cave this time, he had a sense of danger, so he tried his best to pull so many people to open the way ahead.
But he really did not expect that Xuanwu would be suppressed in the cave!
If he knew this, he wouldn't come in even if he was beaten to death!
"Boom—" Xuanwu raised a foot, and when it fell, the entire cave shook.
The stones on the top of the cave rustled down, causing everyone to feel dizzy.
In addition, strands of black energy drifted out from Xuanwu's body and penetrated into the body of the monks present.
Although these cultivators were frightened at first, they didn't take it seriously because they knew that this was just a phantom array and not real.
However, soon, the resentment that entered the body created a huge pain in their body.
The pain penetrated through the flesh and blood, and went deep into the soul, the pain was worse than skin and bone!
"Ah-"
…
The elders outside the arena are already frantic, and those who suffer in the illusion are all their top juniors: "Patriarch Xu, what's going on? Can you let people out first?"
The Xu family leader said with an ugly face: "...No, this illusion has too many restrictions, and it can't be opened before time!"
The clan elders are aggressive.
"Then what should I do? My family has passed it on for five generations, and the only descendant is in the illusion array. In case, in case—"
"Both of my nephews have been terrorized by that black qi, how can this be good?"
"Patriarch Xu, this magic formation belongs to your family, you have to find a way!"
The head of the Xu family naturally understood the seriousness of this matter, and the illusion can be said to contain almost all the hopes of the younger generation of Xuanmen today.
Not to mention, their Xu family's own children are also inside...
If these seedlings really have three strengths and two weaknesses in the illusion, the entire Xuanmen will have a whole generation lack of strength, which is almost a devastating blow to the now sluggish Xuanmen!
Moreover, if they really got to that point, their Xu family would be considered finished...
The matter started because of the Xu family's illusion, no matter what the real reason was, the Xu family would definitely become the target of public criticism.
Thinking of the consequences, the head of the Xu family had unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat, under the pressure of the crowd, he said with difficulty: "To be honest, there is really no way for our Xu family to force the illusion formation, whether it can be done or not. Even if it is successful, there is a 90% chance that the formation will be disordered, and the people inside will most likely be directly swallowed by the disordered formation.”
"There is no way? How can there be no way?"
"Do you want us to watch our younger generation have an accident?!"
The president of the Xuanmen Association suddenly stood up, "Everyone, don't be impatient, arguing now is useless."
"Those of you who are good at formation, try to open the illusion safely first, and don't give up until the last moment."
He comforted a few words in a deep voice, got up and walked upstairs, "I'm going to think of a way too."
The energy of the ancient illusion array has exceeded their control, and now there is hope to crack the illusion array... and only those adults.
Although the adjudication office always does not ask about Xuanmen affairs other than cases, but no matter whether it can be successful or not, always try it.
Besides, Xuanwu is involved in this matter, so the Judiciary can't stand idly by, right
With an extremely heavy heart, the president knocked on the door of the distinguished guest.
·
In the phantom formation, Meng Qingzhi sternly knocked out a strand of black energy that he wanted to drill into his body, and retreated as quickly as possible.
He is not as naive as those people. Although this is an illusion, it is reasonable to say that the damage received in it will not really hurt his life, but since he entered the cave, the sense of crisis has been with him.
However, he knocked down a wisp of black air, but soon the second and third wisps were entangled.
It seems that he has sensed the aura of the pseudo-divine beast in his body. Those black qi from Xuanwu are especially keen on him, and the black qi around him is two or three times that of others.
He didn't know what this black qi was, but it contained deep resentment and evil. He sacrificed Suzaku feathers, which were used to punish evil, to eliminate one or two, but not a large area.
Others seemed to notice that he had a way to deal with those black qi, and they all moved towards him.
Meng Qingzhi's face was ugly, he knocked down the black energy around him, and stopped fighting, holding back the way Fu Luchao came.
As a result, he didn't run very far when he met a thin figure.
"Su drunk!"
Su Zui was carrying a simple backpack with a light expression. Seeing him running over, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Meng Qingzhi's expression changed, and suddenly he took out the strongest strand of the spiritual energy of the pseudo-divine beast from his body and smashed it on Su Zui's body.
The black qi that was chasing behind him was indeed lured, and he followed the direction of the spiritual qi and attacked in the direction of Su Zui.
In the blink of an eye, he was wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis made of black gas.
Meng Qingzhi let out a sigh of relief, and took this opportunity to run out quickly.
Su Zui didn't have such a rare fetish as the Suzaku feathers, so he must not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed by the black qi.
Thinking of this, there was an uncontrollable delight in his eyes.
It's just a pity for Su Zui's spiritual bones.
However, what he didn't see was that after he turned around, the black energy that enveloped Su Zui gradually became thinner.
·
When the president of the Xuanmen Association went upstairs to ask for help, Suzaku was still kicking his legs frantically in Qingluan's arms: "Tweet, Tweet!"
Xuanwu! That guy is actually enchanted!
Suzaku shouted: "Chirp—"
He's going to fight evil!
Maybe it was the same evil spirit that attacked him in the first place!
The always good-tempered Qingluan grabbed his wings and said impatiently, "Shut up!"
He was unwilling to let Suzaku know that the Phoenix merged with the evil energy of heaven and earth because of this.
Suzaku is born to punish evil, hates evil and hates evil, and his brain is not very bright. When he sees evil at first glance, I am afraid that he will rush to fight indiscriminately!
But Qingluan did not have such a clear view of good and evil in his heart.
In his heart, the master who melted the evil energy is also the master, and the colleagues who are infected by the evil energy always try to save him.
Suzaku persevered: "Tweet Tweet—"
Qingluan pinched his little bird's beak, and was about to ask Fenghuang to let him handle this matter, but when he turned around, he saw the collapsed Fenghuang's eyes were tightly closed, and his thoughts were no longer there.
Qingluan's eyes narrowed, and it happened that the president of the association just knocked on the door at this time, and he squeezed Suzaku out of the rooster with a single effort!
There was a gloom in his heart.
The evil energy in the Phoenix body was not completely refined in the first place, and now it is in contact with such a huge evil energy, how can the body withstand it
·
Su Zui opened his eyes, looking at the evil spirit that suddenly spread out in front of him, his eyes couldn't hide the surprise.
He has long known that these black qi are evil qi, and of course he will not come here without any preparation.
In fact, he had already prepared countless talismans and magic weapons that restrained evil spirits. Not to mention that he was completely sure that he could defeat Xuanwu, but self-defense was absolutely fine.
However, before these things could come in handy, those evil spirits dissipated on their own.
No... It didn't dissipate on its own, but let go of him, gathered a thin strand of the city, and gathered in the other direction.
In that direction, it was the Phoenix Spirit Jade hanging from his neck.
In fact, not only the evil spirits chasing Su Zui, but also the evil spirits from the depths of the cave were attracted and rushed into the spiritual jade at a very fast speed.
This process only lasted for dozens of seconds, but the Phoenix Spirit Jade has undergone visible changes.
It seems that some can't stand such a huge evil, and the jade that was originally white has appeared a few black traces, which instantly broke the original white and noble, and became a little more evil.
However, Su Zui looked at these black traces, and for some unknown reason, a child of everyone who had been pampered since childhood suddenly appeared in his mind, with a few black soot smeared on his face.
Always feel a little pathetic.
Su Zui's heart froze: "..."
What the hell is he thinking
He shook his head, putting the odd association behind him.
He tentatively used his fingertips to rub the phoenix spirit jade that had changed, and his tone was a little heavy: "What the hell are you..."
Being able to absorb so much evil energy in one breath, even if it is an artifact, it is not so miraculous.
In the cave not far from the path, the phoenix figure was revealed, leaning against the mountain wall, and his face rarely showed a few traces of fatigue.
On the Phoenix Spirit Jade, there is only a sliver of his split soul, and it is indeed a bit reluctant to forcefully absorb so much evil energy.
However, before the exhaustion spread to the brows, a faint blush appeared on the pale cheeks.
Phoenix folded his cuffs uncomfortably.
Human beings are really duplicitous. They say refusal in their mouths, but they are not reserved in their actions.
Always touch him when he has nothing to do, making the bird monster embarrassed.
The author has something to say:
Drunk: Who are you
Fat Chirp: Of course your husband is hot! =333=
Zhu choked out the rooster: But, Queque, what did you do wrong? Q◇Q
