Lin Yuqi wandered around in the sect for a few days, and finally, the head told her that the trial would start soon. All the selected disciples need to meet in the sect hall.
The door stood in the hall with a serious expression, and one by one, they took down the letters they were holding under their feet and opened them to have a look.
Standing around are the elders of ten peaks. Song Xiaoyue frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face, and asked, "Can other sects respond?"
"
"In this way, wouldn't there be only dozens of disciples to investigate the entry of the demons?" Song Xiaoyue's face became even more worried.
"If you want me to say, you should bring all those sects and let them be the pioneers," Huayan said angrily, "they can run faster than anyone in good things, and when they encounter danger Going back, such a sect is not as good as breaking up friendships."
"Be careful!" The head looked at him.
Huayan hummed and stopped talking.
Song Xiaoyue said: "How about that? In the extreme south, there are many illusions, and there is pressure on cultivation. .If the disciples encounter any danger...?"
When she thought of such a scene, her heart palpitated. The death described by Leng Rouyan was too strange, and the disciples with low cultivation base lacked actual combat experience, which was really uneasy.
It is to trouble you to suppress your cultivation for the time being, **** the disciples inside, and then have Junior Brother Lin to assist you to keep the disciples well-rounded."
Li Ruoyu and Huayan have the lowest cultivation level among the elders. Like Lin Yuqi, they are both golden elixir of great perfection and are still qualified to enter the extreme south. The Sect Master ordered this, of course they would not refuse. It's just that Huayan pursed her lips when she thought of working together with Lin Yuqi.
The Sect Master glanced at him lightly and said, "Junior Brother Hua, the task is important, don't separate public and private."
"Hmm." He said reluctantly.
During the discussion between the elders, ten disciples who were going to participate in the trial were already standing in the square in front of the main hall. As the default candidate, Lin Yuqi should have stood at the front of the team, but seeing Chu Junli hanging alone at the end of the team, he walked over and stood side by side with him.
After all, she doesn't know other disciples, so she doesn't get bored on the road, so it's better to find an acquaintance to chat.
Seeing her approaching, Chu Junli, who was originally expressionless, suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, with a faint smile, as if he was overjoyed by her arrival.
He glanced ahead, those senior brothers were excited because they were about to participate in the trial, and had no time to care about the people behind him, so he quietly leaned over to Lin Yuqi and said in a low voice, "I I thought you were mad at me after the last selection."
Lin Yuqi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "How come?"
I was a little angry at first, but after recognizing the character of the male protagonist, I calmed down.
Chu Junli pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and then asked: "Then I am on good terms with the disciples of the Mingyue Sect, don't you have any dissatisfaction?"
Lin Yuqi tilted her head in doubt, and said, "Why should I be dissatisfied?" She looked at Chu Junli with an inexplicable expression, and felt that his question was inexplicable.
Lin Yuqi couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he remained silent.
At this time, the head came out of the hall, stood in front of the disciples, and very solemnly explained to them what happened in the extreme south in the past month. After listening to the Sect Master's description, these young disciples became a little nervous and looked at each other, but no one spoke.
The head looked at them and said: "This trial is very dangerous, but the infiltration of the demons this time is of great importance. Only cultivators below the Jindan stage are allowed to enter the extreme south, so you are The best person to go and investigate the matter. If anyone doesn't want to go, they can leave now."
The disciples were silent for a while, and then raised their heads one after another, expressing their willingness to go, and that they would live up to their trust and complete the important task.
The head nodded in appreciation, but still said with concern: "The sect sent two elders to go together. If you encounter any difficulties, you must not rush in, and you must obey the elders' orders. ."
The disciples dare not slack off, they should be respectful.
Lin Yuqi stood at the end of the team and couldn't help but narrow her eyes and think about the whole thing. If she really escaped from the demon world, such an invisible demon, why hasn't she gotten any news yet? Could it be that Shu Shu and everyone in the demon world are hiding from her?
She had a lot of thoughts, and it was not until the other two sects joined Tianzhao Sect that she recovered from her thoughts.
Taichu Palace and Liuyan League can be said to be the two sects in Central Continent after Tianzhaozong.
In addition, Lin Yuqi remembered that the current first disciple of the Liuyan League will become one of the most loyal younger brothers of the male protagonist in eight years.
But now...
She turned her head and glanced at Chu Junli beside her. The male protagonist of the foundation-building period was afraid that he would not get the favor of the first disciple whose eyes were above everything else.
Accompanied by a light phoenix cry, a green luan flew from the sky, and a dozen young monks dressed in blue feathers and fluttering robes floated down from Qingluan and landed on in front of the main hall. The leader is Shi Zixuan, a disciple of the sect master of Taichu Palace. He has beautiful eyebrows, a soft face, and a smile.
Only then did Lin Yuqi know that Sikong was the Taoist number of the head.
While the two of them were chatting with each other, another group of people broke through the barrier of the sect and came to Tianzhao Sect.
Lin Yuqi heard the crisp metal crash from the bottom of the mountain, and guessed who came.
The head smiled and said, "It must be someone from the Glazed Flame Alliance."
Everyone looked up and saw seven or eight young men dressed in red and tough faces walking towards the door of the sect.
, stepping on cloud boots.
He looked at the people in front of him, raised his eyebrows calmly, and cupped his hands loosely: "Situ Su of the Liuyan League, I have seen Xianjun Sikong."
Lin Yuqi stared at the silver mask on his left eye, thinking that Situ Su in the book never took off this bright silver mask. People have speculated that his eye was injured, and that Rao is Situ Suwei's most supportive male protagonist who wanted to heal his eyes, but he also declined. Lin Yuqi couldn't help but wonder, is he blind in one eye, or is there some hidden secret hidden under the blindfold?
But there is no time for her to think about this now, because the head of Kunpeng, who is ready to travel, will send them all the way to the extreme south.
This Kunpeng, who has only lived in the back mountain of Nanyun for thousands of years, is very large. Although there are three disciples sitting on his back, it is still very empty.
The new disciples gathered together, Lin Yuqi was not familiar with them, so he had to pull Chu Junli and sit in the corner. Not far from the opposite is Huayan, facing her from a distance, staring with big eyes. Seeing that Huayan was about to pop his eyes out, Lin Yuqi couldn't help laughing. At this moment, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Lin Yuqi nodded: "Yes."
"That's it..." Situ Su looked her up and down unconvinced.
Lin Yuqi smiled slightly and said mockingly, "But you only have the early stage of Jindan!"
When Situ Su heard this, he glared at her angrily like a lit cannonball.
Lin Yuqi remembered in the book that when Situ Su was young, he wanted to worship the real person Yucheng, but the old man didn't look down on him at that time, so he had to join his own Liuyan League.
Therefore, it is written in the book that when he saw Chu Junli, who was recruited by Yucheng, Situ Su had such a generally bad attitude at first, and targeted Chu Junli everywhere.
However, Lin Yuqi ignored him, rolled his eyes at him, and lowered his head to play with his storage bag.
Situ Su gritted his teeth, hummed and walked away.
"You said," Lin Yuqi tilted her head to look at Chu Junli, "is he inexplicable?"
Chu Junli looked at Situ Su's back coldly: "Naturally, don't pay attention to him."
Since he realized his mind, he thought of a lot of ways to show his presence in front of Lin Yuqi, but Xiang Situsu, whose family background is obviously higher than him, will naturally be driven out far.
But Lin Yuqi laughed lightly when she heard his answer.
Sure enough, if the male protagonist is in the same situation, he will try his best to win over Situ Su and become his own help. Instead of Lin Yuqi, Chu Junli would only persuade her to stay away from each other.
Lin Yuqi now also understands some rumors in the sect. In the eyes of everyone, she has become Chu Junli's backer. In this case, if she is friendly with others, for Chu Junli, it will be a loss of cultivation resources.
Naturally she won't let her interact with Situ Su.
Lin Yuqi thinks that she understands the male protagonist's mind clearly, and lowers Chu Junli's character certification by one level.
Kunpeng was extremely fast, and in less than half a day, they arrived at the extreme southern part of the continent.
This place is scorched by the scorching sun all day long, the temperature is extremely high, the air above the ground seems to freeze, like a very viscous liquid, flowing slowly around, making people feel suffocated and depressed.
Kunpeng's back just landed, and a group of blue-clothed women immediately appeared behind him.
They are all cold and dusty, but they are a touch of color on this hot and extremely southern land.
These women came from Miaozhou, Leng Rouyan led the female disciples behind them, and said to the disciples of the three sects: "Thank you, friends, for coming to help. , The Mingyue Sect has sealed off the periphery of the extreme south, and sent its disciples to patrol at all times. If anyone sneaks in, or encounters any difficulties, please let us know in time."
Huayan speaks very little when he goes outside, but the taciturn Elder Li is calm and calm, and his words and deeds are well-mannered, and he will explain things to Leng Rouyan It is clear and clear that the area for the three sect disciples to be searched has been divided.
So Leng Rouyan turned around and instructed Mingyue to teach the disciples, and said to the girl closest to her: "Yu'er, you send someone to block the surrounding area, and inform these people of the location of the violent death of the loose cultivator. friends."
Although Na Yu'er also wore a veil, she couldn't hide her agile eyes. Lin Yuqi noticed that she was the previous tool girl. I don't know whether he noticed Lin Yuqi's sight, or was attracted by Chu Junli beside her, the "Yu'er" looked at her several times and smiled at Lin Yuqi.
Lin Yuqi: ...Although I'm not familiar with it, I also smiled.
Tian Zhaozong was assigned to search the southeast of the extreme south. Ten disciples obeyed the elders and Yujian came here.
Lin Yuqi seldom used magic weapons, and his own saber had not yet been cast, so he followed Chu Junli's saber behind the large army.
She stood on the sword and suddenly remembered that on Kunpeng's back just now, Chu Junli did not tremble and fear like sitting on the paper kite before, so she could not help asking softly behind Chu Junli: "Aren't you? Are you afraid of heights?"
Chu Junli moved his eyes slightly and said, "Since I walked out of the mirage fantasy last time, I'm not afraid anymore."
Lin Yuqi didn't quite understand the relationship between the two, and asked, "What's the reason for this?"
"The reason why I am afraid of heights," Chu Junli paused for a moment, then said, "Because he was pushed down from the cave when he was young, and he was seriously injured after holding A Yao to the ground. There is a sense of fear in the heights, but seeing it happen again makes it less scary."
Lin Yuqi suddenly realized and nodded, thinking that it turned out that the male protagonist was afraid of heights because of the shadows of childhood, but he didn't expect that fantasy would bring him a blessing in disguise.
In fact, what Chu Junli didn't say is that what really made him overcome this fear was Lin Yuqi flying out and taking the two children in the air into his arms. The illusion was closely related to him, or because he saw a scene with a very deep memory again, at that moment, Xiao Chu Junli suddenly communicated with him, and the strong feeling of falling turned into a sense of security being rescued from the air. From then on, Chu Junli was no longer so afraid of facing high places.
After half an hour, they crossed a large area of the extreme south to the southeast. Elder Huayan and Li Ruoyu led the disciples of Taichu Palace and Liuyan League respectively, and Lin Yuqi became the highest cultivation base among the people of Tianzhao Sect.
She held a map in her hand, which was the location of the violent death cultivator provided by the Mingyue Sect before she left.
Lin Yuqi clicked the mark on the map, squinted slightly and said, "Let's investigate the dead first." The disciples took the lead and divided into three teams.
And Chu Junli was tacitly stayed by everyone.
Lin Yuqi looked at him helplessly and said, "Okay, you still follow me."
The one Lin Yuqi chose was the deepest place in the extreme south. The other disciples were too low in cultivation and were afraid of encountering documents. Besides, she wanted to investigate the truth before others. When there is no one, I have to contact the demon world again, maybe I can ask something else.
There are many volcanoes in the extreme south, and the magma is billowing under the surface, and the steam is constantly blowing out.
Lin Yuqi once thought that after the cultivator died and fell on the hot ground, he had no spiritual power to maintain his original state. After the cultivator died, he was still the same as before, and his body did not change in the slightest.
This is another quirk.
She and Chu Junli bypassed several volcanoes that were constantly spewing lava, went deep into the hinterland, and saw a red clearing with the bodies of three men lying there.
The distance between them was very close, and there was no sign of a fight, they closed their eyes peacefully, but there was a long sword stuck in their chest.
Lin Yuqi stepped forward to check the corpses, and found that there was still spiritual power circulating in their bodies, raised one of them's hand, and slashed on the sword, the blood overflowed and was absorbed by the long sword .
"It's really my magic weapon." Lin Yuqi frowned.
Only the blood of the master can be absorbed by the magic weapon, indicating that these people were killed by their own magic weapon under the condition of willingness or induction.
"Okay." Lin Yuqi exerted a little force, forcibly cut off the connection between the long sword and the master, and pulled the sword out.
"What exactly did they encounter in their lifetimes?" Lin Yuqi frowned, and there was a hint of irritability in her tone, "How could you make your magic weapon betray the master?"
Chu Junli shook his head in disapproval, "The murderers never acted directly. Maybe they don't have the strength, or they don't want to leave any clues."
He squinted his dark and bright eyes and said, "Since the infiltrator is a low-level demon, and he has chosen an inaccessible place in the extreme south, it's not hard to imagine that they can't be in a short period of time. Lure a large number of loose cultivators and kill them again."
"Then how did they do it?" Lin Yuqi fell into deep doubt after listening to Chu Junli's analysis.
"Think about it again," Chu Junli looked at her and induced, "In the extreme south, people can kill people invisibly, but what is it that can be seen everywhere?"
The answer was about to come out, Lin Yuqi patted his head and suddenly realized:
"It's a fantasy!"
Chu Junli nodded: "Yes."
The head had warned them before leaving that the extreme south was full of illusions, and these loose cultivators would definitely be sucked into it.
"But...what did they experience in the illusion?"
"Don't worry," Chu Junli glanced at the long sword in Lin Yuqi's hand, "when the demons in the dark find our arrival, they will repeat their old tricks, and then they will understand ."
…
The temperature in the extreme south at night has dropped a lot compared to the daytime, but it is still not cool.
Lin Yuqi and Chu Junli lay side by side in the tent, Chu Junli was a little speechless, looked at the floating light chain tied between the two wrists, and said, "Why is it so tight?"
The corner of Chu Junli's mouth twitched: "Really?"
"Of course." Lin Yuqi blinked innocently.
This floating light chain can establish a short-term connection between the souls of the two, so that Lin Yuqi can ensure that the two can enter the same illusion, she and Chu Junli solve the case alone, and fight monsters alone , the division of labor is just right.
She wouldn't say that because she was afraid that she was "not too smart" and would not be able to get out of the illusion.
"Alright alright, go to sleep, those demons will come out when you fall asleep." She pushed Chu Junli, urging him to fall asleep.
She closed her eyes and heard Chu Junli sigh in her ear. She couldn't tell whether it was pampering or joy.
Suddenly, Lin Yuqi felt that someone was holding his hand, opened his eyes suddenly, and the place in the extreme south of the night was no longer in front of him.
This is a vast plain, with no boundaries at a glance, the sky is dark and dark clouds weigh down, making people breathless.
As far as the eye can see, there are corpses everywhere, and the ground is red with blood.
"Where is this?" She looked at Chu Junli beside her and asked.
"The deceased, no matter the fairy, were thrown into a valley at the junction of the two worlds. There are more than 10,000 corpses in bloom here, and it can only be that place."
Chu Junli raised his eyes, stared at Lin Yuqi, and said word by word, "Wan, soul, cave."
Lin Yuqi couldn't help but fight a cold war.
Isn't that the villain's boss, Lin Yu's burial place?
The author has something to say: About the last chapter, many little cuties have already guessed that the villain of the previous life is reborn~
But what she wants to do, I... (No spoilers! No spoilers!)
But in this life, maybe she...
