"How's it going? My second couplet is pretty good. Not to mention number one, the top three are all right..."
Xiaoyang brushed the broken hair from his forehead and said proudly.
"roll……"
However, before the harp was finished, a sharp cracking sound resounded throughout the world. It was so sharp and harsh that it made everyone's eardrums hurt.
The most miserable one was Xiaoyang, with streaks of blood oozing out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, his eyes were straight, like "Where am I?" What am I doing? what happened?
I asked three questions in confusion.
"Poor baby! Why bother?" Ye Qing shook his head. With his IQ, he dared to show off. Where did he get the confidence from? It turns out that the ignorant are fearless!
"Okay, the show is over and the time is almost up. It's my turn!" Ye Qing took out the bronze tiger head and put it on. As a low-key person, he didn't want to be recognized: "I'll do it!"
After Ye Qing finished speaking, his figure appeared in the air.
Ye Qing said without thinking: "The mountains and rivers are bright and beautiful everywhere, and the ups and downs come and go every year!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ink words turned into couplets, and they reached the second position before stopping.
It's a pity that it still can't surpass the first sentence, "The rain and rain are all green and clear."
"Second, it's not bad!" Ye Qing smiled contentedly. It was for giving points anyway, and second place is already very good. If you look at the two who firmly occupy the first and second place from the bottom, The unshakable "feces, pee, piss, stinks," and "men and women ummm every night," would be even happier!
Sure enough, comparison makes people happy!
"Time's up..." The time for a cup of tea flew by in a blink of an eye. When the time was up, the sound of ancient ink seals sounded in time, and hundreds of couplets in the air shone with colorful lights, as if they were alive.
Immediately, each couplet turned into a number. The first one was the character "ten", and the second one was the character "eight". They were similar, but the numbers were different.
However, the most conspicuous thing is the first and second last numbers. The couplets are connected end to end, forming a big egg, black and purple.
After working hard for more than half a year, I looked up and saw that it was an egg. It was so hard!
"Eight, that's eight steps!" Ye Qing looked at the numbers formed by the couplets and guessed in his mind.
However, until this moment, the ancient ink seal script in the air had not disappeared, and Ye Qing couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Anyone who fails to answer the couplet session will die!"
"die?!"
Hearing the ancient ink seal words, Ye Qing's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.
"This rule has not been mentioned before in the ancient ink seal script!"
The next moment, the ancient ink seal script in the air flapped its wings, and the ink splashed out like rain. Wherever the ink passed, the mist dispersed, revealing some frightened and inexplicable people, who were obviously those who had not responded.
Among these people, there are people from Jing'an Division and strangers.
Naturally, they also saw the falling ink, and tried their best to dodge. Some even used magic weapons, but it had no effect. The ink seemed to fall on them without any hindrance, and it fell accurately on them.
The ink began to smudge as if it was dripping into water. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire body, becoming as black as ink.
But until this moment, those people were not dead yet, with frightened expressions on their faces, but they were unable to move and could only feel the approach of death little by little.
"Click"
Gradually, those people began to melt, like ice cubes under the scorching sun, but what flowed from their bodies was not water droplets or flesh and blood, but ink.
In the blink of an eye, everyone turned into a puddle of ink. Then the ink floated into the air as if it was being pulled, and gathered into an ink pool. Ancient seal scripts with wings flew out of the ink pool and disappeared into the clouds.
Finally, not a drop of ink remained in the air.
"No, these ancient seal scripts are all formed like this!"
Ye Qing touched his nose with a cold expression. If this was really the case, it would be too scary!
As the punishment ended, the ancient ink seal flew back to the top of the mountain, and the clouds and rainbow light enveloped the mountain road again.
However, this time Ye Qing no longer had the leisurely mood of slowly climbing the mountain. Death is a sad thing after all.
What's more, there are people he knows among them!
In addition, the deaths of these people also made him realize that a treacherous environment is a treacherous environment. Even a relatively low-risk treacherous environment is still full of dangers and should not be underestimated.
With the help of buds, Ye Qing climbed to the top of the mountain effortlessly.
But this trip made him realize the danger and cruelty of the treacherous environment. He saw with his own eyes that when a man was being tortured, he couldn't bear the pain and his soul collapsed and died.
When a woman witnessed this cruel scene, her mind collapsed and she became mad. She got into the clouds and rainbow light and disappeared.
A father and son turned against each other because the father refused to help his son. The son killed his father with his own hands, and he later committed suicide because he could not bear the punishment.
Along the way, it can be described as miserable!
Ye Qing's mood was also quite heavy.
As soon as we climbed to the top of the mountain, the clouds, mist and rainbow light suddenly disappeared, leaving a clear and open sky. What we saw were green grass and trees, flowers and flowing water, like a fairyland.
On the edge of the cliff, there was an old man wearing a bamboo hat sitting, his back turned to him, motionless.
Slowly approaching the old man, Ye Qing discovered that the man was actually holding a fishing rod, with the fishing line going straight into the sea of clouds under the cliff, with a focused and serious expression.
"Fishing in the clouds is really an eye-opener!" Ye Qing touched his chin and did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the old man curiously. He wanted to see what he could fish out of the sea of clouds.
After about ten breaths, the old man suddenly said: "Why don't you young people ask me what I'm fishing for?"
"I've seen the enigma!" There is no doubt that the old man in front of him is the enigma mentioned in the ancient ink seal script.
After seeing the gift, Ye Qing answered the riddle's question: "With the fishing rod, you must be fishing!"
The mystery man smiled slightly and said: "The fishing rod is not necessarily used for fishing. It can also be used to catch many things, such as precious medicine."
As soon as the mystery man finished speaking, the fishing rod shook, and a round pill floated out of the sea of clouds. As soon as it emerged from the sea of clouds, golden light overflowed, as bright as the blue sun.
"For example, the secret book of exercises!"
The mystery man said softly, the fishing rod shook, and a book with gold embroidered edges looked at the extremely extraordinary secret book emerging from the sea of clouds. A mysterious and terrifying aura spread from the secret book.
"For example, a trick weapon."
After he finished speaking, the fishing rod shook slightly, and a dragon roar came from the sea of clouds. The next moment, a luxurious five-clawed golden dragon rushed out of the sea of clouds, stirring the clouds and mist like a tide, with great power. Finally, the golden dragon turned into a golden spear, powerful And domineering.
"For example, gold, silver and jewelry."
After using the trick, the mystery man swung his fishing rod again and fished out mountains of gold and silver, which were dazzling to the eye.
Then, the mystery man swung the fishing rod and fished out one after another exciting things, such as weird servants, treasure maps, elixirs, etc., all kinds of weird things, and the other party even fished out a beautiful woman who would conquer the country.
To put it in Ye Qing's heart, you are really good at playing!
"Young man, do you want it?" The mystery man finished showing off and looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was stunned, pointed at himself, and asked in surprise: "Are these all for me?"
The mystery man smiled: "No!"
"..."
Ye Qing's face fell, then why are you asking?
The enigma seemed to have guessed Ye Qing's thoughts and smiled gently: "However, you can choose one thing from them. Of course, you can also make other requests, but there is only one!"
Now that the important point was coming, Ye Qing felt happy and said, "Can I make any requests?"
The mystery man glanced at Ye Qing and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
"Haha, I'm just joking." Ye Qing shrugged. The ancient ink seal made it clear before that it must be a reasonable request.
"Haha, young people are very smart, they know how to advance and retreat, and know gains and losses!" The mystery man praised, but what he said next made Ye Qing shudder: "It's not like some people who are wishful thinking and try to reach the sky in one step. They are so stupid. Just like the last person who climbed to the sky. The person who goes to the top of the mountain wants me to turn him into the most powerful person in the world!"
"What's the result?" Ye Qing asked curiously.
The mystery man said: "Dead!"
"..."
A simple yet bizarre story with twists and turns.
"How could his mortal body withstand those powers? The moment I poured the power into his body, his body exploded like a watermelon, leaving nothing behind!"
"There was another person who said he wanted to be the emperor of a country, and I made it happen for him. Unfortunately, he couldn't bear the backlash of the country's destiny and became a foolish person."
"There is still one……"
The mystery man chattered endlessly like an old man.
"In short, anyone who makes unreasonable demands will die inexplicably!" Ye Qing complained slightly in his heart. It was obvious that this was an old yin.
So, what are reasonable requirements? According to Ye Qing's speculation, it is something that meets his needs and can be realized, rather than unrealistic ideas and requirements.
"Young man, what do you want?" After talking, the enigma looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing touched his chin, thought for a while and said: "I want a book of refining skills that is suitable for me and a mystery that can free everyone on the Mystery Mountain?"
The mystery man asked doubtfully: "Is this a request? I just praised you, why are you greedy?" The mystery man frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Ye Qing touched his nose and said innocently: "If you can finish a sentence, isn't it just a request?"
Mystery Man: "..." Boy, have you misunderstood a request?
"Then I... hope that Mystery will let those innocent people on Mystery Mountain go free." Ye Qing struggled for a while and finally said seriously.
He wanted to practice Gang realm skills, but he also didn't want to watch those people from Jing'an Division die innocently. After all, those people were fighting alongside him a few days ago.
He could pretend not to see other strangers, but he could not turn a blind eye to these people.
In addition, with the Strange Sutra, he didn't have to worry about finding a suitable Gang practice method. Even if he gave up this opportunity, he still had a lot of ways to go.
But there is only one life.
So, he finally chose to save people.
"Okay, as you wish!" Mystery smiled softly, waved his sleeves, and all the punished and exhausted people in Mystery Mountain disappeared.
But in his peripheral vision, Ye Qing vaguely saw a familiar figure, who seemed to have climbed the ninety-ninth step, with his hands on his waist, looking up to the sky and laughing proudly.
Just as he was about to climb to the top of the mountain, he suddenly disappeared.
