return to heaven

Soon the day of the competition will come. Among the current disciples of the sect, there is only one Shen Linye who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. He is temporarily acting as the head of the sect and presiding over the affairs of the sect, including this disciple's Dao teaching meeting.

The competition on the first day was for Jindanqi disciples, adhering to the principle of competition first and friendship second, and they were all innocuous competitions. Shen Chubai won the first prize and received a magic weapon and a fan. A magic weapon, but he didn't know what it was for. The fan surface was as crystal clear as white jade, as thin as a cicada's wing. It seemed to match Zhu Chen very well. He gave it to Zhu Chen after changing hands. Zhu Chen Always put the fan on his waist.

The next day was the foundation-building competition. Without any suspense, Zhu Xuan won the first place, and the prize was a middle-level broken pill, and Zhu Xuan was very satisfied with it.

The last day is the competition in the Qi refining period, but their competition is the most interesting.Whether it is Jindan or Jianji, they have learned certain techniques and are more proficient in the use of spiritual power. The competitions have become more intense and affect the harmony of the sect. little competition.

For the disciples in the Qi refining period, many of them are only familiar with the use of a little spiritual power. In the competition, there are swordsmanship competitions that do not use spiritual power at all, and flying with the sword. The rankings of the two competitions are combined Come back together to arrive at the final ranking.

Swordsmanship has always been Zhu Chen's strong point. His moves are clean and sharp, his shots are fast and accurate, without extra tricks, and his sword is awe-inspiring.

"Who is this disciple with great swordsmanship?"

"It's Zhu Chen, the direct disciple of Elder Jingxu."

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the monks, Shen Chubai felt honored to see that the competition was almost over, so he went downstairs to wait for Zhu Chen.

"...In the swordsmanship competition, No. 1 is Zhu Chen..." Master Song, who presided over the competition, was announcing the ranking.

"The next thing is the Yujian competition, just do what you can, don't show off." Shen Chubai repeatedly told him worriedly.

"Yes, little master." Zhu Chen replied with a smile.

"Second Senior Brother, where have you been?" Jiang Lingxi looked suspiciously at Shen Chubai who came back.

"Don't worry about that kid, go and have a look."

Needless to say, she also knew who "that kid" was referring to, "Brother, you are too kind to Zhu Chen, right?"

"Is it okay? It's okay, maybe it's because he is obedient." Shen Chubai didn't know what to think of, and laughed.

"Is...is that so?" Jiang Lingxi shuddered as she remembered Zhu Chen's indifferent expression, "But he really looks good."

Shen Chubai smiled and nodded.

The Yujian competition officially started, and at the same time as the drum sounded, the disciples who were ready to go shot out like arrows off the string.

"That man is so fast!" the disciples onlookers exclaimed.

Zhu Chen left the others far behind.

Shen Chubai froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you doing flying so fast, kid?" His tone was full of pride.

Zhu Xuan looked at the man who was able to fly freely in the air with disdain, "That's all there is to it."

The Yujian competition is to hang colorful bubbles in the sky in advance. The bubbles will only burst when touched by the human body. Scores are calculated by how many bubbles are popped.

Participants have a jade mirror on their bodies, and each time one is broken, it will automatically count and be synchronized to the water mirror in front of the spectators.

At present, Zhu Chen has the most 1862.

In order to ensure the safety of the participating disciples, there is also a huge water mirror, which shows the scene within the scope of the competition.

The disciples were trying their best to touch the bubble, Zhu Chen moved through it with ease, and the numbers on the jade mirror were constantly changing.

In this competition during the Qi refining period, Zhu Chen scored the highest score, won the first place, and got a sword spike.

Zhu Chen handed the obtained sword spike to Shen Chubai.

"Give it to me?" Shen Chubai asked with a smile.

Zhu Chen nodded.

Shen Chubai happily handed the sword to him, "Tie it on."

Zhu Chen tied the sword spike to Haobai seriously.

Jiansui is spiritual, before giving it to Shen Chubai, he injected a drop of his heart and soul into it, and when Shen Chubai was in danger, Zhu Chen would sense it.

However, he didn't tell Shen Chubai.

"If you don't cultivate well, where will you go?"

Shen Chubai looked helplessly at the eldest brother who appeared suddenly, "Brother, why do you appear so suddenly every time? I went to find Zhu Xiaochen, and I just found out two sword manuals, and I want to send them to him." As he spoke, he waved his hand of two books.

Shen Linye's forehead was throbbing with blue veins, "Let's put this aside for now, I have business to talk to you about."

Seeing his brother's serious expression, Shen Chubai also suppressed the ease on his face, and followed his brother into the house.

"Youying's Yifu?" Shen Chubai readily agreed, "Okay, no problem."

"This mansion is an ancient mansion. There are many treasures inside, but there are also many dangers lurking. I will try my best to send as many people as possible to follow you, but you must remember, don't act recklessly." After much consideration, he said, It was only then that he handed over this matter to Shen Chubai, and urged him to improve his cultivation during the experience.

"Yes, Big Brother."

Shen Linye frowned, "I said this to you as an elder brother."

Shen Chubai's eye sockets enlarged, bro...

Immediately, he smiled and patted his brother's shoulder, "Don't worry, brother, I will be careful."

"Youying's Abandoned Mansion is full of dangers, and I don't know what will happen inside, just be careful in everything, and don't act arbitrarily." Although he has explained it many times, Shen Linye is still worried.

"By the way, this trip to Youying's Abandoned Mansion, Elder Jiang ordered that Jiang Lingxi will also go with you..."

Shen Chubai understood, "Understood, I will definitely take good care of her and won't let anything happen to her."

Shen Linye didn't speak, just looked at Shen Chubai, "No, I don't care what others do, I just hope you are fine."

"Uh..." Shen Chubai struggled, "This..."

Shen Linye knows his younger brother too well, he is always very enthusiastic about other people's affairs, Jiang Lingxi is also his sister, he naturally doesn't want her to have any good or bad, but compared with his only real brother, other No one can compare, so he said these words...

If he can't keep his only younger brother well, what's the point of what he's done all these years?

Shen Linye didn't make things difficult for him, "Anyway, just be careful."

Shen Chubai thought for a while, "Brother, I have something..."

"speak."

"I...I want to take Zhu Chen with me."

"No," he refused without hesitation, "he is only in the Qi refining period, how can he be allowed to enter this kind of ancient ruined mansion, it is irresponsible to him, not to mention, after taking him there , you still have to be distracted to take care of him, how can this be? Nothing will do. "

"But, brother," Shen Chubai said anxiously, "You also know that his aptitude is not good, and I don't know what kind of realm he can cultivate in the end. I want to take this opportunity to show him more things he has never seen before. What's more, although this Yifu is full of dangers, there are also many turning points in it, I want to take him to try..."

"If I say no, then I can't. There may be room for discussion on other matters, but this matter is not negotiable." After speaking, Shen Linye turned and left. He was afraid that he would soften his heart towards his younger brother. It's dangerous, if you bring a monk with a low cultivation base, and this monk has a good relationship with his younger brother, it will be even worse.

Seeing that his brother couldn't be persuaded, he turned to Elder Jingxu. If Elder Jingxu agreed, he might not be afraid that his brother would not agree for the elder's sake.

Elder Jingxu was trimming the branches of the flowers and trees in the garden.

"Elder!"

Jingxu's subordinates kept on saying, "I don't know why Chubai is looking for me?"

"Does the elder know that Youying's Yifu is about to be born?" Jingxu paused for a moment with her pruning hands, and then recovered, "I know, but what does this have to do with me?"

Shen Chubai said directly: "Youying's Mansion is an ancient mansion, and there are many anecdotes and secrets inside. I want to take Zhu Chen with me." After looking at Jing Xu's face, he continued, "What do you think? ?”

Jing Xu's eyes rolled around, "...It's possible, but he has to agree to go."

Didn't expect Elder Jingxu to be so easy to talk to?

"That's no problem, let me talk about Zhu Chen's place," he paused, "But, my brother's place..."

Jingxu understood, saying that there is no problem.

Zhu Chen couldn't be more satisfied to be able to go out with Shen Chubai, even if he didn't mention it, Zhu Chen himself would bring it up.

I don't know what Elder Jingxu said to his elder brother, but later his elder brother actually agreed that Zhu Chen would go with them.

Apart from the few of them, Zhu Xuan and several other senior brothers were also accompanying them.

The Mansion of the Remains has not been opened yet, and many monks have gathered outside, waiting to rush in as soon as the Mansion of the Remains opens. There are so many monks and only so many resources, who wouldn’t want to occupy more?

When the Yi's Mansion was opened, everyone rushed inside, and so did Shen Chubai and the others.

After everyone outside the door entered, a moment before the door was about to close, a figure flashed in.

He walked quickly all the way, like a treasure, and after twists and turns, he came to a cave. In the cave, the roots of a peony tree were intertwined, holding up a transparent ball, and in the ball was a bird with bright yellow feathers. .

The arrival of the visitor awakened the sleeping bird.

"Choo Choo Choo"

The visitor put his hand into the ball and stroked its tiny head.

The bird also put its head in his palm and dawdled affectionately, but it didn't really touch it, the bird was just a spirit body, not a real body.

The person who came called softly: "Youying."

"Choo Choo Choo"

On the other side, Shen Chubai led the Nanyang Xianzong group and chose one of the paths to gradually go deeper.

After entering the Yifu, everyone is faced with choices. There are many paths to choose from. As for what they will face, no one knows.

"Be careful."

A short arrow shot out from the depths of the Yifu, the end was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, but a coldness came from inside, making one's hair stand on end.

Shen Chubai held Zhu Chen's hand with one hand, held the sword in the other, and moved forward slowly in a wary manner. The others were the same as him.

"Brother, what's in there? I feel like something is peeping at us from there." Jiang Lingxi asked while guarding the surroundings. "

"I don't know yet, everyone be careful."

Another short arrow came flying, and Shen Chubai blocked it with his sword, and then several sounds of piercing the air came, and all the disciples blocked it one after another. After encountering these surprise attacks, they walked more carefully.

"sizzle"

Shen Chubai listened attentively, there were things ahead, and many more, coming towards them.

Zhu Chen took out a luminous pearl from the storage bag, and the road that was not very bright at first became bright in an instant.

Everyone gasped when they saw the scene in front of them.

The road ahead was covered with countless snakes, they didn't look like snakes at all, they just stared at them with their eyes open, and they didn't move, and they didn't know how long they had been lying on their stomachs.

The "hissing" sound that Shen Chubai heard came from a distance, and with the light of the night pearl, he found that it was a continuous stream of snakes crawling towards this road.

The snakes lying on the ground seemed to realize that they had been discovered, and stretched their bodies one after another, "hissing" and spitting out their scarlet letters. There is a coquettish light in the light.

As the only woman in the team, Jiang Lingxi was usually careless, but she screamed in fright when she saw countless snakes spitting at them.

Shen Chubai had no choice but to drag her behind him and let her pull his sleeve.

Zhu Chen glanced at Jiang Lingxi who was behind Shen Chubai, and silently threw her a bag of things.

What's this?Jiang Lingxi looked at the things in her hands suspiciously, and then looked at Zhu Chen.

"The realgar powder, I put a spell on it, they are coming, you just need to sprinkle the realgar powder on them, and they won't dare to get close."

"Yes, Zhu Xiaochen, is there any more?" Shen Chubai asked.

"Yes," Zhu Chen took out more realgar powder and handed them to the disciples behind him, asking him to distribute them.

Shen Chubai blinked his eyes, "Where's mine?"

Zhu Chen held Shen Chubai's hand firmly in his palm, "You don't need it." After speaking, he strode towards the snakes.

"Hey!" Jiang Lingxi yelled, trying to stop them.

Seeing someone approaching, the group of snakes scrambled to pounce on them. When they were about to touch them, they were blocked by the dazzling golden light, bounced back, and bit their own tails fiercely.

Shen Chubai looked at the scene around him, how could he forget that this person has a body of merit that surpasses the corner of a city wall, and he can be considered to have experienced the feeling of being protected by the light of merit, which is very wonderful.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingxi didn't doubt anymore, she sprinkled on the snakes along the way, and sure enough, the snakes didn't dare to go forward, and the disciples followed one after another.

A disciple anxiously put the realgar powder in Zhu Xuan's hand, but Zhu Xuan dodged it without accepting it.

"Brother Zhu, don't be stubborn."

"Get out of the way, I can do it myself." He wouldn't lean on that piece of shit, ever.

The other disciples around him couldn't help but step forward, one of them snatched the sword in his hand while he was unprepared, the other two supported him with one arm and walked forward, and the others held their realgar powder in their hands, and gave them to themselves along the way. And they drive away the snakes that come on.

I don't know how far they walked, when they felt that the realgar powder in their hands was almost not enough, they finally finished walking the group of snakes that covered the road.

He poured all the remaining realgar powder at the intersection to prevent the snakes from following.
