This water unicorn is an ancient and strange beast from the prehistoric times. As soon as it became powerful, the wind and clouds changed. The originally blue sky actually darkened in an instant.
As it took the first step towards the steps, the originally calm mountain wind turned into a fierce wind and roared across the top of the sky-high peak.
The water surface in the blue water pool closest to Shui Qilin changed even more. It started to tremble from being as flat as a mirror, and then suddenly turned violently. The entire pool water quickly rotated around the center, turning out a deep vortex. From the depth of the vortex, it became more like There was a rumbling sound.
After a moment, everyone heard a loud noise. A column of water suddenly shot up from the depths of the whirlpool. It was as thick as three people hugging each other, and it was solid. It spun around in mid-air, folded down in the air, and landed on Shui Qilin as if driven by something. The front is like a crystal clear dragon spinning and swimming in the air.
At this time, none of the Qingyun disciples standing on the steps, including the most advanced Qi Hao and others, could remain calm. All of them changed their complexions, and some even turned pale and trembled slightly.
The reason why Shui Qilin was able to become the powerful assistant of Patriarch Qingye in slaying demons and subjugating demons thousands of years ago and has been respected by Qingyun Sect for thousands of years is that its strength was fully revealed at this moment.
Among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the water unicorn is the best spiritual creature of the water system. It can only summon water columns out of thin air with one hand. It is so thick that it condenses and even swims in mid-air. And without the slightest effort, the powerful spiritual power and the purity of the mind have long been far superior to those of ordinary human cultivators.
Even among the Qingyun Sect, which is full of masters, there are not many people who can achieve this level not only by pure telekinesis but also by borrowing magic weapons.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect saw the sky and the earth turning dark and turbulent, and all the disciples of the Qingyun Sect were dumbfounded and at a loss when they saw the Spiritual Water Qilin burst into a thunderous fury that had never been seen in more than a thousand years.
Soon after I said it, I saw Shui Qilin roaring incessantly, his eyes widened, and the color of rage and hatred in his eyes became more and more intense, as if he felt something deeply hatred or extremely hateful and wanted to fight to the death with it.
And the thick water column hovering in front of this giant beast was swimming faster and faster. Suddenly there was a loud "boom" and the huge water column hit the Qingyun disciples on the steps with endless momentum.
At this critical moment, I heard a cry from mid-air: "Spirit Master, calm down!"
A dark green figure suddenly appeared in mid-air between Shui Qilin and Qingyun disciples, as if appearing out of thin air. It was Daoxuan Zhenren, the leader of Qingyun Sect.
After five years of not seeing him, his crane-bone celestial demeanor has not changed at all, but his brows are furrowed and he is obviously extremely puzzled by the sudden attack of the water unicorn.
But the situation is urgent at this moment. Behind him are dozens of the most outstanding young disciples of Qingyun Sect. In the water column roaring in front, there are waves of light, and the shadows of various ferocious beasts are obviously the ones killed by the water unicorn in the past. After the beast died, the soul was taken into the body by the water unicorn and could not be reborn.
At this moment, the water unicorn is used in the water column to increase its power. Even Daoxuan Zhenren's ability to reach the sky and the earth cannot help but be frightened.
Seeing the water column approaching, Daoxuan could not avoid it, so he took a deep breath and recited: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
He raised his hands to hold the ball in the air and formed swords with his left and right hands. He pointed the magic formula slowly and urgently, and drew a Tai Chi picture in front of him. For a moment, the pattern glowed in the sky with white light and bursts of auspicious energy. Then Daoxuan turned around and wore a dark green Taoist robe without any wind. The drum suddenly floated down from his body, and the Tai Chi figure in the air immediately rushed to the Taoist robe as if driven, and was imprinted on the Taoist robe.
This dark green Taoist robe seems to be a treasure of the Immortal Family. It grew ten times bigger in a moment when the Tai Chi diagram said "whoosh" in the wind.
"Wow!" There was a loud sound. The water column of the Water Qilin Imperial Envoy hit the enlarged dark green Taoist robe. He heard roars in the water column. It seemed that the souls of those demonic beasts were shouting in anger. The dark green Taoist robe retreated several feet away from the center of the Taoist robe under the heavy blow. The area hit by the water column bulged deeply, showing the huge force.
And the young disciples of Qingyun who were standing on the steps were almost dumbfounded. They felt that a huge wind suddenly came and all of them were unsteady on their feet. Except for a few advanced practitioners who could barely support themselves, most of them fell down from left to right.
Everyone couldn't help but lose their countenance. If Master Daoxuan hadn't taken action to block Shui Qilin's thunderous strike, I don't know what the consequences would have been.
Zhang Xiaofan's face was pale and he was unsteady on his feet, so he fell to the side. From the corner of his eyes, Lin Jingyu saw that he was about to reach out to help him, but unexpectedly, his body tilted, but he also fell to the other side, unable to take care of himself.
Zhang Xiaofan was so frightened that he subconsciously let go of the hand that was holding the "fire stick" in his arms and stretched out desperately, trying to find a place to support him. He didn't even notice that the cold feeling disappeared as soon as his hand left the fire stick. No trace left.
In the air, Master Daoxuan looked solemn and prepared, and behind him, "Brush, brush, brush" sounded a few times, and more than a dozen figures appeared in the air, standing behind him. The leader was Master Cangsong, and the others were the leaders of the six meridians and the members of each lineage. Elder Tian is not easy to deal withEveryone among them had serious faces.
At this moment, the masters of Qingyunmen are at this moment to look at this kind of battle in the world. No one is afraid that seven points are afraid of the seven points. This water unicorn is s¨¨ under the head of the first elder of the Qingyunmen Road.
But under the gaze of everyone, Shui Qilin's eyes that were originally burning with anger suddenly calmed down and revealed a strange look, as if he was confused. The huge water column in front of him also slowly shrank, and finally lost control and fell to the ground "Crash." "La!" The ground became wet with a sound.
At this time, the water unicorn had lost all its power, but its huge body stood on the spot and was still quite terrifying. It paid no attention to the elders in mid-air. They only stared at the steps. The young disciples glanced around and touched the air with their noses. After sniffing it, I couldn't seem to smell anything.
After a long while, after repeating this weird behavior many times, the water unicorn seemed to finally give up and shook its huge head, turned around, walked to another open space, lay down, and leaned its head on its legs and narrowed its eyes. Not long after, the sound of snoring started to sound again.
Everyone in Qingyun Sect looked at each other in shock.
Cangsong Taoist came to his senses quickly and quietly moved to the side of Master Daoxuan and whispered: "Senior Brother, it is not appropriate for the disciples to stay here for too long."
Daoxuan Xingwu glanced at Cangsong, nodded and said, "You take the disciples and I'll go see what's going on with the Spirit Master first?" After saying that, he folded his body and flew towards the water unicorn.
Cangsong turned around and said loudly: "The Spirit Lord just made a joke for everyone. Don't be nervous. Now all the disciples who participate in the martial arts test should go to the Yuqing Hall in turn!"
The disciples responded in unison, restored order, and walked forward.
But when I saw in my heart that water unicorn's thrilling blow just now, I'm afraid not many people would believe that it was a joke!
Following the crowd, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu walked into the majestic and spacious Yuqing Hall. Standing in this hall, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that the memories of the past five years were turning over one scene after another.
"Jingyu." Zhang Xiaofan suddenly whispered.
"What?" Lin Jingyu looked at Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice: "I suddenly remembered something. Have you seen Uncle Wang in the past few years?"
Lin Jingyu's face suddenly darkened, and then he shook his head and said: "Today is also the first time I have returned to Tongtian Peak. Three years ago, I asked Senior Brother Qi Hao about Uncle Wang's situation, and he said that he was still acting crazy all day long. There should be no problem running around Tongtian Peak as long as Nagato's senior brother is taking care of him."
Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a while and said, "I want to see him after this competition is over. Do you want to go?"
Lin Jingyu nodded and said, "Okay, I want to see him too."
At this time, a green shadow suddenly flashed in the main hall, but it was Daoxuan Zhenren who flashed in from outside.
The eyes of all the elders of Qingyun Sect fell on him. Cangsong Taoist walked forward and asked: "Senior Brother Spirit Master"
Daoxuan raised his hand to stop and gestured to him. The Taoist immediately understood and kept silent.
Immediately, Master Daoxuan turned around as if nothing had happened and said to the dozens of young Qingyun Sect disciples standing in the main hall with a cheerful face: "Everyone is here! Okay."
All the disciples bent down and saluted together: "I have seen the real master."
Master Daoxuan smiled slightly and walked back to his seat and glanced at Taoist Cangsong. Taoist Cangsong then walked forward and said loudly: "Everyone, you are all the leaders of the younger generation of Qingyun Sect. My Qingyun lineage has been more than two thousand years since the establishment of the sect. He is actually the orthodox and righteous leader of Taoism. But the ancients have a saying: 'A career thrives on hard work and a waste of time.' Another saying goes: 'Sailing against the current will lead to retreat if you don't advance.' I have sent ancestors from successive generations to teach future generations and guide young disciples. The grand event of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition has now been held for twenty years.¡±
"Ah" there was a burst of exclamation from the disciples of Qingyun Sect. The twentieth term, calculated as one year at a time, lasted one thousand two hundred years.
Cangsong Taoist looked at everyone's reaction with satisfaction and said: "To this day, our Qingyun Sect, under the leadership of Senior Brother Daoxuan, is far more prosperous than before, and there are countless outstanding young people in the younger generation. Therefore, this time, Senior Brother, the leader, and the leaders of each lineage After discussion, the number of candidates for the grand examination was specifically increased to sixty-four to avoid the regret of being left out of the ocean."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but look towards Tian Buyi, only to see Tian Buyi sitting under Daoxuan Master with an expressionless face but a look of impatience in his eyes. After all, the increase in the number of people in the competition was said to be discussed with the leaders of each lineage, but it was not the case. Master Daoxuan and Master Cangsong have the final say.
"The number of people in the big test has doubled this time, so there are some changes in the drawing of lots. Look, everyone."
As he spoke, he pointed to the open space on the right side of the hall. Everyone looked around and saw a large mahogany box placed in a square shape with only a small hole on the side for an arm to fit in.
"There are sixty-three wax pills inside the mahogany box, each of which is wrapped with a note with numbers from one to sixty-three."
There was a sudden commotion among the disciples. Taoist Cangsong ignored it and said: "After the drawing is completed, the competition will be based on the number. Number one vs. sixty-four, two vs. sixty-three, three vs. sixty-two, and so on for the second round. Then the winner of No. 1 and No. 64 will be compared to the winner of No. 2 and No. 63, and so on until the final battle. Do you understand?"
The disciples of the Qingyun Sect who were standing in the hall were silent for a while. Suddenly someone said loudly: "Ask Master Cangsong, how come there are only sixty-three wax pills when there are sixty-four people?"
Cangsong Taoist seemed to have been prepared for this problem and coughed dryly: "The rules of this competition are that each of the seven branches of Qingyun Sect will send out nine people, of which the Nagato will have one more person, but ahem, because there are only one person from the same sect in the same lineage. There are eight disciples, so there is one less person, so there are only sixty-three."
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Tian Buyi's face at the top of Dazhu Peak. Tian Buyi had a look of anger on his face, but he sat upright and didn't move at all.
The Qingyun Sect disciples below suddenly became noisy and started talking.
After the crowd calmed down a little, Master Cangsong said seriously: "But it's not that difficult. As long as any disciple draws number one among the sixty-three wax pills, he will be extremely lucky, because there are no sixty-three wax pills." Opponent No. 4, so he got a bye in the first round.¡±
As soon as this statement came out, there was another uproar among the Qingyun Sect disciples. However, Qingyun Sect is a famous sect after all and has very strict tutoring. Although this method seems quite funny, no one objects to it.
Daoxuan Zhenren stood up and looked around. His leader was immediately silent. Master Daoxuan nodded and said, "In that case, let's draw lots!"
?The eyes of everyone in the hall then fell on the mahogany box. First, the ten disciples from the Nagato lineage walked out. They walked to the box and each took out a wax pill, and then came the disciples from the Dragon Head Peak lineage.
Lin Jingyu said hello to Zhang Xiaofan and walked out. Zhang Xiaofan glanced at his back and then looked at the first seven seats and the elders.
Among these people, from Master Daoxuan down to Taoist Cangsong, Taoist Tianyun, as well as Shang Zhengliang, Zeng Shuchang and other leaders of various sects, he had met them five years ago. Only the female Taoist nun sitting in the last chair on the right had never met him. But looking at this, he is probably the first Shuiyue Master of the famous Xiaozhu Peak.
Zhang Xiaofan often hears his senior brothers mention this uncle in his daily life. He heard that Xiaozhufeng is the only lineage in Qingyun Sect that only accepts female disciples. Master Shuiyue himself is also very profound and famous in Qingyun Sect.
And the disciples from Xiaozhu Peak have also performed well in the previous Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition.
Zhang Xiaofan took a few more glances at Master Shuiyue and saw that her appearance was about thirty times similar to that of Master Suru. She had an oval face, thin eyebrows and a moist nose, a pair of piercing almond eyes, and a moon-white Taoist robe. She looked very graceful.
There was no elder standing behind her, but a female disciple, dressed in white as snow, with a very beautiful appearance. She carried a long sword on her back with a scabbard, and the hilt was a sky blue color. It was bright and faint, and there was a faint flow of light. You could tell at a glance. It is an immortal treasure.
He was looking at the young woman in trance. As if she felt his gaze, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Zhang Xiaofan with a cold gaze. Zhang Xiaofan's heart was shocked, as if he was being shocked by electricity, and his eyes seemed to be stinging.
He was startled and his face turned slightly red, but when he saw that the woman's face was expressionless but there was a hint of contempt in her eyes, he quickly lowered his head.
At this embarrassing moment, someone suddenly reached out and pulled him. Tian Linger's voice said: "Xiaofan, why are you in such a daze? It's time for us to draw lots."
Zhang Xiaofan said quickly: ¡°I don¡¯t dare to look at Master Shuiyue anymore, I turned around and followed Tian Linger towards the mahogany box.
At this time, only Dazhufeng and Xiaozhufeng were left in the hall, and the people from Dazhufeng, headed by Song Daren, walked to the box one by one, took out the wax pills, and walked back to the hall.
Later, when everyone was checking what number they had drawn, eight female disciples from Xiaozhufeng's lineage, Min, were among them. The woman in white standing behind Master Shuiyue bowed her head to Master Shuiyue and said "Master Shuiyue's point" He nodded and said: "You go too!"
The woman in white responded and walked to the girls of Xiaozhu Peak. She smiled with Min and others and walked to the mahogany box and took out the last nine wax pills.
At this moment, all the disciples in the main hall were checking the wax pills one after another, and the elders of each lineage sitting at the head could not help but become nervous, all staring at the disciples of their own lineage, hoping that the disciples would draw good lots. If they drew the one with "1" written on it, they would naturally win again. It couldn't be better.
As if responding to the sentiments of the teachers, the young disciples of the Qingyun Sect in the hall made their voices heard one by one.
"Ah! I am twenty-six."
"I'm thirty-three. How old are you?"??
"Oh, I'm forty-seven. I don't know what my opponent's number is. I'll do the math"
The disciples talked for a long time, but no one said that they had drawn the precious No. 1 ticket.
Cangsong Taoist frowned, coughed twice and said loudly: "Who drew the No. 1 lottery?"
His loud voice suppressed all sounds for a moment and the hall fell into silence.
After a long time, a small voice in the crowd suddenly said with a hint of surprise and caution, as if even he himself didn't believe it: "Reply, I'm here to report that Master Uncle Cangsong is here."
Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaofan in the crowd and held a stood in his hands and stood in place, but he was aimed at Tian.
