Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 181: nerd
A month and a half later,
Xia Ji takes stock of the rich harvest.
"Fifteen pale gold skill beads, containing various Taoism techniques;
Five golden skill beads, containing powerful Taoist Dharma images;
Two dark golden skill beads, which are the top method in the talisman and the method that calls the wind and rain;
There is also a black skill bead, and the rest are purple and not worth mentioning.
I never thought that this black color happens to be the advanced skill bead of [Waterway]. It is indeed the largest Taoist collection on Abbot Island. "
Xia Ji stood on the ninth floor, with a mysterious meaning all over his body, and he appeared as simple and unpretentious as an ordinary person.
After using the black skill,
His crimson [waterway] finally reached the tenth floor.
"Not enough, far from enough."
He sighed softly.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the leather scroll contract.
This time it's Ji Xuan's.
"Teacher, the prospective teacher has come to see you. Where are you?"
"A prospective teacher?"
"It's Su Tian. But I told her that before I left, Master said that he would travel around for half a year, and it would take two or three months to return. She told you to come back to Su's house to find her."
"Got it."
...
A few days later.
The leather roll contract suddenly sounded again.
Hu Xian'er said: "Master..."
Xia Ji: "Did my mother force you to eat something again?"
"No, Master, a woman suddenly came to the imperial capital. She is very powerful. She calls herself Su Daji and told you to come out and meet her."
Su Daji?
Xia Ji was stunned, there is no such person in the Su family, right?
"How strong is she?"
"Unfathomable, I can't make a move in her hands. I said you were not here, she left a message and invited you to fight at the top of the Forbidden City three months later."
"What does she look like?"
Sweep.
Soon, a grimace appeared on the leather scroll contract.
Xia Ji: "So ugly?"
"No no."
Hu Xian'er continued to draw, and then another picture appeared.
Xia Ji: "So thin? Like a matchstick?"
"No, it's beautiful, but I'm not good at drawing."
"What color is her hair?"
"A black silk up to the waist."
"What face shape?"
"Fox Meilian, I suspect she is my ancestor."
"What about your height?"
"Under one meter seven."
Xia Ji's expression was quiet, it doesn't look like Su Tian? Su Tian is tall and tall, about 1.75 meters tall. Although her appearance is charming, she is far from her charming face. Who could that be?
Looks like I'll have to go back in three months.
After half a month.
Xia Ji has already roughly scanned the Taoist Museum.
Sure enough, as long as it's not an ancient book, the skill beads provided will be blue, and purple at most. Although there are many books left, they are of little value to him.
So, time to go back?
"Although I can stay at the transfer station in the underworld, I have some regrets..."
Xia Ji looked at the Taoist and Taoist nuns in the neighborhood.
Suddenly, many flying swords went east.
Xia Ji thought about it, took out the sword pill that Aunt Xu gave him before he left, poured in his breath, and when his mind moved, the longan-sized sword pill began to expand and change, and soon it turned into a flying ball. Sword shape.
He sensed a little,
This flying sword doesn't communicate with him like a magic weapon, nor does it have a tool spirit that can be communicated, but a weapon that can extend to a certain range and carry out volley attacks.
He stepped on the flying sword and went east with the crowd.
To the east, it's bustling.
Xia Ji casually asked a young Taoist who passed by, "Brother, why are you all gathered here?"
The Daoist said: "The battle of Daoism and law among the younger generation of Abbot Island is once every ten years. This is an unprecedented event, and many people will go there."
Another Taoist who passed by suddenly said, "Brother Ju Shan also signed up this time?"
The Taoist who was talking to Xia Ji looked back and saluted with a smile: "Of course we want to go, this is the way to fight, otherwise, how can we know who is better."
"It is said that the top few players in the battle of Taoism can get the elixir provided by the Jiuding Dan Palace, the chance to forge the real person of the real fire from the Zhenwu Pavilion, and even the practice method and the opportunity to enter the casket provided by the Xuantian Temple.
Even if you can't rank in the top few, as long as you perform well, you will be able to leave a name on this Abbot Island. If you can be on the list of real people, it will be a blessing. "
"That being said, I'm going even more."
"Haha, together, together."
"Junior Brother, when will this competition be held?"
"It's said to be half a month later."
The two apparently knew each other well and went to register together to the east.
Although the people in Jinyufang are Taoists, many of them are young people, not to mention the fact that each sect is on the same island, it is natural to compete with Taoism.
Xia Ji listened quietly.
A sect will naturally not only focus on one thing. Many disciples of the eighth and even the seventh generation participate in the fire robbery to find opportunities, while the remaining young eighth and ninth generation disciples are going to participate in this "competition." contest".
It's just that he doesn't even have the slightest interest in the battle between Taoism and law.
What is the reality list? Also feel nothing.
Because, he already knows that no matter what the list, it is impossible to record the ancient nine people.
He just stared at the nine people, and everything else was out of his sight.
The sky and the earth are big, but there are only nine enemies in the world. Maybe Su Tian is his ally, but if he can't even beat Su Tian, how can he deal with others?
He sighed softly.
After passing so young, people are in high spirits,
They are male and female,
Hearing this sigh, some even glanced back at Xia Ji,
Then with a disdainful smile,
It seems to be saying, "What's the use of sighing at this time if you don't practice well at ordinary times? In this competition, I will definitely make a name for myself!"
Xia Ji passed by them.
Return to Jinyufang, the manor where Jingming Zhenren is located.
Using the Ping Wang mask under the bed to install a "underworld transfer station" to return to the imperial capital and to Jinghu.
Then, he sat alone in the courtyard.
Make a pot of hot tea,
Steamy,
Exudes the refreshing fragrance of spirit grass.
He suddenly felt a little old,
Because young people are not afraid of tigers because of new born calves,
Will want to be higher than the test of the gods,
Will be high-spirited and want to take the first place in the competition.
But he didn't have these hearts.
The more you know, the more lonely and old you become.
Because you will find that those so-called battles have no meaning and value.
Xia Ji took a sip of hot tea and tapped his fingers on the table.
Muttered in his mouth: "The martial arts competition, once every ten years, is unprecedentedly grand, many people go back... um..."
He closed his eyes and thought, "If people leave, wouldn't the sect be empty? This is a godsend opportunity.
I already know where the other sects are located.
And you only need the token to enter the mountain gate... Once you enter the mountain gate, you can read books. There are many disciples of the other three sects, and it is enough to enter the pavilion with the token. "
He stood up, his body contained a terrifying and deep strength, his heart even surpassed the strength of the dragon's heart, beating quietly in this empty world.
"Water dragon."
He raised his hands slowly, and a little starlight suddenly condensed in the air, like the scales of a water dragon, wrapping around him.
"Fog."
After a thought, these scales all turned into mist.
"Baichuan."
The transpiring mist was turned into a comet by his finger, with the comet tail coming from all directions, and shot towards the extreme distance. Halfway through, it was like a strong bow lashing out, but the powerful crossbow encountered a time standstill in the middle and suddenly stopped.
"Creation."
Xia Ji opened the palm of his hand, and the comet turned into water mist became ordinary water. When it was watered in the soil under a dead tree, the tree suddenly turned into glory, and the green leaves grew lush. .
"Water line."
Think again.
Xia Ji stepped out, and the skin of the whole person began to change. Immediately, his body began to change. After a while, where there was Xia Ji, there was only a pool of water flowing slowly forward.
The water flowed through the soil, through the crack of the door, and into the dark room, rising from the ground and re-condensed into Xia Ji's figure.
This is the tenth layer of the [Waterway], which is a temporary transformation of the body by the water of the five elements, driven by the power of blood.
Xia Ji didn't light the candle, and lay on the dark bed, surrounded by silence.
There seems to be a faint "didi di" sound.
There is a message from the Leather Scroll Contract.
It's Hu Xian'er.
"Master, your mother asked if you could get the snake tail of the Yanyan python and the snail meat of the Huode snail."
Xia Ji's expression changed, "I'll try."
"Oh."
Xia Ji pondered. He had read in the book that the Yanyan Python is a kind of snake that lives in the tropics. It likes to devour burning flowers, plants and trees. But now that the fire robbery has just started, maybe it will be encountered.
The fire snail is also a similar species. The defense system is the high temperature of the snail shell, making it impossible for other creatures to touch it. According to the book, they often haunt the boundary between the bushes and the magma.
Mother herself must not have thought of these things. The only explanation is that she has had an adventure, and most likely it is the welfare of the transmigrators.
But it's the mother's own secret.
He just pretended not to know.
Blowing off the candle, he closed his eyes and entered the water, and the beating of his heart was forging his body all the time, making him stronger and stronger.
...
...
After half a month.
Abbot Island, suspended in the East China Sea, is connected to the sky above and to the blue waters below.
If you look down from a high place, you can see that many flying swords are like the cold current in the vortex, whirling toward a center.
The scene is spectacular and grand.
This is the once-in-a-decade battle of Taoism and law, and disciples from all sects are rushing to the competition hall.
However, Abbot Island is very long, and the journeys vary from place to place, and there are many Taoists who spend the night halfway there.
The spring is warm,
After nightfall, the bright moon on the sea is born with the tide.
To the northwest of the island, a stream descends from the top of the mountain, gurgling still.
Several Taoist priests and nuns are leisurely catching fish in the stream, bowing their heads and drinking water,
The water is as sweet as nectar,
The Taoist and Taoist nuns are dressed as disciples of Zhenwu Pavilion.
"This time, I must let other sects see the Taoism of my Zhenwu Pavilion."
The young round-faced Taoist nun smiled and said, "Senior brother, seeing that you are so complacent, you must have broken through the tenth realm and condensed the Dharma?"
"It's halfway there, but it's enough."
The young Taoist priest on the other side suddenly laughed and shook his head.
"Junior Brother Jiang, why are you laughing?"
"Am I smiling?"
For a time, the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed.
The young round-faced Taoist nun hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, when I go out this time, I should resonate with the prestige of my Zhenwu Pavilion and not be underestimated by the other three sects."
"I hope Junior Brother Jiang will not make a fool of himself."
"I will leave these words intact and return them to my senior brother."
"You!"
“How am I?”
"Don't be arguing, this is outside. If anyone sees it, it will be a joke." The round-faced Taoist nun shouted hurriedly.
But the two suddenly faced off with Edgeworth.
The sword lights are interlaced, the airflow is vertical and horizontal, and even the night wind is broken, and the water waves of the surrounding streams are also flying.
No one noticed that a flying water wave directly swept away the token from a Taoist priest's waist, and then slapped it down to the extreme, and went away with other streams.
When the water waves reached the lower reaches of the stream, they came ashore, showing the appearance of Xia Ji in the moonlight.
He held the token in his hand, looked at it, and murmured: "The two rows of Zhenwu Pavilion, this time the three major sects are all complete."
Xia Ji looked around and murmured to himself, "The closest thing to here is Zhenwu Pavilion. Let's go there when it's dawn."
...
Dawn the next day.
No one saw a figure quietly entering the protective film of Zhenwu Pavilion.
It was like a wave of light submerged in it.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as I entered this formation, the big bell on the top of Zhenwu Pavilion suddenly rang automatically.
After an instant, several figures appeared on the top of the mountain.
"It must have been an outsider who stole the disciple token and entered my sect."
"Someone did it a few years ago and was abolished by the master, and now there are still people who dare to do this?"
"Does it really mean that I really want to come and leave when I want to go?"
Xia Ji raised his head and looked at the ringing bell, and it was not so easy to make a secret search in his heart.
But it is impossible for him to give up immediately and quit.
He swept his eyes and combined with some information about Zhenwu Pavilion he heard in Jinyufang, he quickly headed to the southwest. There was the bookstore of Zhenwu Pavilion, with a total of five floors.
The way to find the invaders in Zhenwu Pavilion is very simple. Gather the disciples, gather them on Zhenwu Square, and then the remaining one is easy to find.
When!
When!
When!
The big bell on the top of the mountain rang suddenly, with three long beeps, signaling the call.
At this time, Xia Ji had already arrived at the entrance of the bookstore~IndoMTL.com~ The guardian of the bookstore was a young Taoist nun. She stretched out her hand and Xia Ji took out the token and handed it to her.
The young Taoist nun looked at it, "Go in."
Just after she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the bell and said, "Junior Brother, let's go to the square together."
Xia Ji seems to be thinking that the mind does not belong to the Tao: "I have been thinking about a guiding technique for the past few days, but I can't understand it..."
After he finished speaking, his eyes were blank, and he muttered in his mouth, "The dragon guides the tiger, the bear passes through the turtle's throat, the swallow flies and the snake bends the bird, and the sky bows and the earth looks up... How does this person's body resemble the shape and match the What about the unity of breath? I really don't understand, I don't understand..."
While speaking, he walked towards the bookstore.
Seeing him like this, the young Taoist nun couldn't help but burst out laughing. This junior brother looks quite handsome, but I didn't expect it to be...
"Nerd."
She smiled, ignored him, and went out by herself, at the call of the three bronze bells.
