Chapter 21: Dismounting
Luo Feng got off the Hanging Peak and met with Li Heng and the others who had been agreed a long time ago.
He thanked Gao Zhu: "In the past three months, thank you Brother Gao for secretly helping. ”
Gao Zhu smiled heartily: "It's okay, it's just an errand anyway." ”
Luo Feng couldn't go down the mountain, so when he needed to redeem good deeds, he used paper cranes to entrust Gao Zhu to help, including trivial matters such as redeeming huàn spirit stones, rune paper, and yang spells.
"Hey, isn't Zhao Fengxian here?"
Li Heng pursed his lips: "He is now prosperous, how can he look down on us old friends from the poor countryside." ”
Sun Xiaolian persuaded: "Don't say that, Feng Xian also has his own difficulties, he is not happy in the circle, on the one hand, he wants to meet those senior brothers who are jealous of him, and on the other hand, he has to share the benefits and win over the senior brothers of the same class." ”
Li Heng snorted, "Why do I think he likes to do these things the most?"
"Don't talk about these troubles!" Gao Zhu frowned, "If he still treats us as brothers, we will treat him sincerely, if he doesn't care about the friendship of his fellow countrymen, we don't need to use a hot face to stick a cold ass." No matter how simple it is, if you have to chirp and fight crookedly, Brother Luo rarely goes down the mountain once, so you can't make him happy. ”
The words were not rough, Li Heng and Sun Xiaolian stopped talking, and turned to discuss matters related to the annual assessment.
Li Heng, who is still the most well-informed, said: "I have inquired, this assessment is only for outer disciples, and the top few will be rewarded richly by the valley master, so some senior brothers who are about to break through will deliberately suppress the growth of cultivation in order to obtain the qualification to participate, and correspondingly, the bottom twenty will be whipped by the soul whip." ”
The Soul Whip is a special weapon used for punishment, hitting a person, the body will not feel pain, but it can directly torture the soul, making people feel painful.
Sun Xiaolian probably knew that it was powerful, and said with a pale face: "Then people like us who have only been in the sect for half a year are very disadvantaged, even if they are in the same class, they can't compare to those senior brothers who joined at the beginning of the year?"
Talent aside, for disciples who are new to cultivation, cultivation is often equivalent to time, and with the passage of time, this gap will slowly narrow.
For example, a disciple who has cultivated for two years will definitely far exceed a disciple who has cultivated for one year, but a disciple who has cultivated for ten years has less obvious advantages than a disciple who has cultivated for nine years.
Fortunately, Li Heng said something that reassured her: "The sect has considered this, so the restrictions have been relaxed, and the disciples who participate in the assessment for the first time are not punished, but from the second year onwards, they must desperately strive for the previous ranking, which is also a disguised incentive for the disciples, break through the triple realm as soon as possible, and get out of the sea of suffering." ”
Sun Xiaolian was obviously relieved, but her expression was not joyful, and she said leisurely: "I can escape once, but I can't escape a second time." With the qualifications of the four of us, we can only be spectators for the first time, and we will have to work hard to avoid punishment in the future, and if you are lucky, you can learn some alchemy, talisman making and other skills, and let them out to be a deacon, and if you are unlucky, you will be washed away from your memory and thrown back to your hometown to destroy yourself.
In the half a year in Xuanming Valley, I can see clearly, all the way to cultivation, people without qualifications can't see hope at all, among the four of us, Brother Li Heng is expected to break through the triple realm within the five-year period. ”
Luo Feng could hear the pessimism in her tone, but he also knew that this knot was not easy to untie.
The five people from the same township, with Sun Xiaolian's worst temperament, she was just a carefree little girl in her hometown, neither like Zhao Fengxian and Li Heng who were nurtured by the elders and knew how to schem, nor like Gao Zhu, who was born with a lack of roots, if there was no apprenticeship, she would marry someone else in the future, be a country woman who farmed outside and nursed her children at home.
Simple-minded and unwilling to fight, she came to the evil sect where she was intriguing everywhere, and it was inevitable that she would not be able to adapt, even if the difficulties she actually encountered were not as good as one-tenth of Luo Feng's.
Li Heng was silent and silent.
Gao Zhu disagreed: "If you don't have enough qualifications, you can make up for it with hard work, go to penance, go to trials, and strive for unknowable adventures, it's better than staying in the house and sighing." For example, Brother Luo Feng, he broke through the double yin and yang realm, and he must have suffered a lot during the period, we should take him as an example. ”
When Li Heng and Sun Xiaolian heard this, their eyes widened, and they looked at Luo Feng in disbelief: "You broke through? It only took half a year?"
In fact, I broke through two months ago.
Luo Feng couldn't tell the truth, so he could only nod modestly and admit it.
Although he has also refined Yin Yang Talismans and Yin Yang spells, only the method of martial cultivation has cultivated the Yin and Yang Realm to the peak, so his essence is restrained, and it is difficult for others to see if he does not actually fight.
Because the method of cultivating the image is to strengthen the foundation and make the blood surging, it is easy to be discovered, and the original Huangquan is the best example.
A trace of jealousy flashed in Li Heng and Sun Xiaolian's eyes, but it disappeared casually, and instead encouraged Luo Feng with a smile to win glory for the four of them.
It's not that the two of them are generous, but that Luo Feng himself is low-key, not as eye-catching as Zhao Fengxian, and he can't see his cultivation just from his appearance, so he thinks it's just a coincidence.
For the vast majority of outer disciples, the double yin and yang realm can be reached, it is nothing more than a matter of time sooner or later, the real difficulty is in the third level, sometimes the bottleneck can card people for a lifetime, and therefore it will be used by the Xuan Ying Valley as a watershed to divide the inner and outer disciples.
The most important thing is that if the curse of the Hanging Peak is not removed, no matter how great Luo Feng's achievements are, it will only increase in tragedy.
"In this annual assessment, the three of us can only be passers-by, and hope will all fall on your shoulders, we must let those people with their nostrils turn to the sky to see, not only Zhao Fengxian is a capable person from our hometown. ”
While Li Heng encouraged, he still did not forget to satirize Zhao Fengxian.
Luo Feng smiled: "Do your best, anyway, even if I don't want to be in the limelight, someone will force me, there are always some grievances that need to be resolved, it's better to be high-profile, so that people know that I am not a soft persimmon, let others knead it." ”
"Yes, but in my eyes, you're a soft persimmon!"
Suddenly, a malicious voice came from behind Luo Feng, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped his heart, and goosebumps stirred up in his back.
A force broke through the air and attacked!
Without hesitation, as if he was a startled shrimp, Luo Feng bent his back, his whole body muscles bulged, and his legs jumped out like springs.
"Hey, a little bit of a skill. ”
Seeing Luo Feng's reaction, the sneak attacker was slightly surprised, and then changed the direction of his strength, like an appendage, chasing after him endlessly.
Sensing that the sense of crisis on his back had not disappeared, Luo Feng had already understood that it was impossible to dodge, so despite being still in mid-air, he forcibly turned around and counterattacked, twisted his waist and handed his fist, and his strength surged out like a tide, as if the huge waves rolled up by a storm on the sea, and when they fell, the keel ship would also be shattered.
However, the fists intersected, bursting into a roar of air being squeezed.
Luo Feng only felt that the other party's strength was highly condensed, gathered in his palm, without the slightest leakage, like a needle inserted into his own tide fist, as strong as steel, Pei Mo could resist.
Netherworld True Qi automatically protects its body, but it is completely dispersed and collapsed by the overwhelming force.
A wisp of cone-piercing cold air took advantage of the gap to enter, burrowed into Luo Feng's meridians, and quickly lurked, making people mistakenly think that it was just an ordinary injury, and it was attacked by the cold true qi.
Luo Feng snorted, and was hit by this palm force and flew out, he didn't brace it, opened his arms, first condensed the qi into waves, relieved the momentum with the help of the air flow, and took three steps back after landing before the remaining energy was completely dissipated.
Rao was still suffering from internal injuries, his ears were deaf, and the arm he took over was weak and weak, and there was a faint tingling pain, as if the bones of his entire arm had been shattered, and his chest was also dullly painful.
"Why did you attack me?" Luo Feng asked.
The other party seems to be a straightforward reminder, but in fact, he has already punched out before the reminder, and judging from the strength condensed into a hemp rope, it is at least a quadruple subtlety.
Obviously the realm is high, but still choose to sneak attack, which can be described as despicable and insidious.
An Lianhai's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "You are talking to your senior brother like this, and you dare to slander your senior brother for sneak attacks at will! I'm just giving you a little lesson, so that you can know that there are people outside the world, and there is a truth outside the sky, don't be arrogant, and think that you are great if you have achieved a little achievement, now you are just a frog at the bottom of the well, you still have to be humble to live a long time, what do you say, Senior Brother Luo?"
When he spoke, he secretly raised his anger, and when Luo Feng couldn't stand the stimulation and started to resist, he humiliated him again.
