In the northwest of Wudang Sword Sect, there is a plum forest. Every March in Yangchun, one can smell the fragrance of flowers ten miles away. In the center of the Merlin, a stone sword rises from the ground and pierces the sky.
Strangely enough, every March and April, the stone sword emits a sound wave. Ordinary people would feel in a trance when they heard it, and even their lives would be in danger. Even if a cultivator hears it and has an unstable Taoist heart, he will still be hurt by this sound wave.
Therefore, the Wudang Sword Sect regarded the Ten Miles of Plum Forest as a step in selecting entry-level disciples. This is where the name Daolin comes from.
"Hey! Isn't this the brother from the Mo family? Why are you waiting outside the door? Don't you dare to go in? That's right, there have been several tests, and you all from the Mo family have been stuck here and failed."
Not long after, Song Baiying led a group of dandy boys in from outside the mountain gate. The Song family, together with the five families of Yu, Zhang, Yin, and Mo, are all sect families in Wudang. Almost all the trainee disciples recruited by Wudang are from these five major families. Except for the decline of the Mo family, which has never produced a single genius, the other four major families have more or less newcomers shortlisted in previous recruitment meetings.
Mo Tingxuan frowned when he saw it, and his face looked very ugly, but he didn't say anything.
When Song Baiying saw Mo Tingxuan, her eyes were full of sarcasm and she couldn't hide it.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, the corners of his mouth raised, becoming even more proud.
Mo Tingxuan was even more ashamed when he heard it, his brows were knitted into a ball, and his anger was rising, but he was unable to refute the words of the person in front of him. I felt ashamed and annoyed for a while.
The five major families usually interact with each other, but the Song family thrives on the strength of its population and produces numerous talents. It is quite mean to other families, and even more disdainful of the declining Mo family.
"Senior Brother, you have misunderstood. Senior Brother Mo is waiting outside to wait for me. This is not what you think."
But I heard a crisp voice coming from behind.
Everyone was stunned, unable to think of anyone who would offend the Song family for Mo Tingxuan. They couldn't help but turn around and saw a beautiful figure walking in from the mountain gate with small steps. The temperament that emerges from the mud but remains untainted is as graceful as a fairy.
"Who is this person?" Song Baiying asked around, and a man wearing a black Xiaoyao scarf answered: "Isn't this person Zhang Mengqi from the Zhang family?"
"Zhang family, Zhang Mengqi?" Song Baiying pondered, looking at Zhang Mengqi's eyes with a cold light. He turned around and walked away.
Zhang Mengqi came straight to Mo Tingxuan and said, "Brother Mo, let's go."
The Zhang family has been suppressed by the Song family for many years, but the Song family relies on its great business and has many disciples in the Wudang Sword Sect. Although the head of the Zhang family is angry, he does not dare to openly fall out with the Song family.
Zhang Mengqi usually felt angry when she saw the Song family being domineering. Every time she wanted to take action, she was stopped by the elders of the clan.
Now that she had entered the sect without the obstruction of the elders, and when she saw these playboys from the Song family bullying others, she immediately shouted and stepped forward to stop them.
When such a beautiful woman suddenly appeared to save him, Mo Tingxuan was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether it was real or an illusion. It was not until the other party came over and touched him that he finally recovered.
"Who is this little brother?"
Seeing Mo Tingxuan staring at her uncontrollably, Zhang Mengqi's cheeks immediately turned red, but she soon recovered and pointed at the person next to her and asked.
Mo Tingxuan slapped his forehead, then remembered Lu Jingyuan next to him, and introduced them to the two of them.
Seeing that there was no good show to watch, Song Baiying led everyone towards the next gate.
Seeing these dandy boys walking away, Mo Tingxuan relaxed his tense heart.
Mo Tingxuan still looked sad and said: "Sister Zhang, I really want to thank you. However, if you helped me today, Song Baiying will definitely hold a grudge. What should we do?"
"Just remember grudges. As long as I get a good ranking today, will I still be afraid of the Song family?" Zhang Mengqi said angrily with her eyebrows raised.
Mo Tingxuan was still a little scared.
Lu Jingyuan thought it was nothing, so he patted his arm and encouraged him, "The Song family has nothing to be afraid of."
After everyone entered the Taoist Forest, a water barrier was instantly erected around them. Suddenly, the surrounding atmosphere became weird.
It was as if the air was quickly extracted from the outside, leaving only a weak breath for people to survive.
Lu Jingyuan felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier. Every time you take a step forward, you must use all your strength. He looked back at the two companions beside him. Their situation was no better than his own.
Song Baiying, who had an arrogant expression just now, also calmed down a lot, and her face was full of solemnity.
"Everyone, listen to me. Now calm down your mind, gather energy in your Dantian, and follow me. Remember not to have any distracting thoughts in your mind, otherwise you will be hurt by the sound waves."
While talking, Song Baiying led everyone deep into the red plum forest. Halfway there, a scream came from the crowd.
A thin man suddenly covered his ears and rolled to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, showing that he was in extreme pain. After a while, he kicked off his feet, rolled his eyes, and stopped moving. It seems dead.
When everyone saw it, they were horrified, fearing that they would be the next to suffer, so they started shouting and making a mess. Where can I calm down?
Soon, the sound wave came, and two more people died suddenly on the spot.
The deeper you enter the Taoist Forest, the more frequent the sound waves become. Every sound wave seemed to be carrying the thunder of the Nine Heavens. Even the golden elixir boss didn't dare to touch it personally. What's more, it's a trainee who has just started.
If you don't want to be hurt by the sound waves, you can only restrain your mind and avoid any distracting thoughts, "Let him be strong when he is strong, the breeze blows on the hills; let him be horizontal when he is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river."
In this way, you can avoid its sharp edges and not be hurt by the sound waves.
This is easy to say but extremely difficult to do. In the world of life, I can't help but feel panic in my heart. Thousands of thoughts appear in my mind in turn, rushing endlessly. There is only one thing that can truly control the mind freely and cannot even think of it.
If you can't stop thinking, you will be hurt by the sound waves.
After entering the Taoist Forest, Mo Tingxuan led Lu Jingyuan and Zhang Mengqi forward quickly and separated from Song Baiying. He was also free from Song Baiying's cynicism.
The three of them walked forward for about a meal and came to the stone sword. A three-way intersection appeared in front of them. About half the journey has been completed.
The three of them were hesitating which path to take. At this moment, they heard sound waves coming, like thunder in the clear sky.
Lu Jingyuan frowned, as if the sound penetrated his heart, and it was useless to cover his ears.
The pain was like a huge steel bar going deep into his head, and his sharp nerves captured the feeling of this moment so clearly.
This heartbreaking pain could not help but make him kneel on the ground, panting like an ox, as the sensory nerves traveled throughout his body.
Lu Jingyuan kept knocking his head on the ground, trying to relieve the pain. However, this method is of little use. Severe pain, like the tide, seemed to beat tirelessly on the sea surface.
The corners of Lu Jingyuan's mouth twitched and he roared like a beast. Layers of purple mist emitted from his body, forming defensive barriers that covered the surrounding area for more than ten miles.
Mo Tingxuan and Zhang Mengqi also sat cross-legged on the ground and adjusted their breathing. The atmosphere around the two people was disordered, and their faces were full of pain. It doesn't seem to be any better than Lu Jingyuan.
After a while, Song Baiying led everyone over. The original team of nineteen people only had eleven people left. Several other people must have suffered accidents. Seeing the pained expressions on the faces of Lu Jingyuan and the others, he stopped and watched with interest, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
"Hey! Boy. Didn't you run very fast just now? What happened now? Can't the pestle move here? I thought you were so powerful! Hahaha!"
Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Lu Jingyuan couldn't help but get angry. How could Song Baiying do such sarcastic things? Could it be that the Song family is all this kind of stuff, and none of them are good?
Song Baiying's hands were in seals, and a blood orchid mark appeared on her forehead. She was activating the "Green Lotus Sword Body" technique to fight against the incoming sound waves.
He formed a green lotus barrier, and everyone standing next to him also benefited greatly from being harmed by the "sound wave".
Seeing this, Mo Tingxuan instinctively stretched out his hand to Song Baiying. The continuous destruction of sound waves had already planted a huge shadow in his heart. Faced with the decision of life and death, survival or death, he put aside his former dignity and pride and surrendered to the enemy.
Seeing this, Song Baiying's lips curled up with a trace of ridicule. Mo Tingxuan, the young genius that the Mo family has always relied on, is nothing more than that.
Now, he has severely trampled Mo Tingxuan under his feet.
Seeing Lu Jingyuan and Zhang Mengqi rolling to the side, they were in agony.
Everyone asked about his attitude.
Song Baiying signaled to bring Mo Tingxuan and Zhang Mengqi with them. As for Lu Jingyuan, he was not from the five major families, so just let him fend for himself.
Everyone followed the order, took the two people who had passed out, and followed Song Baiying.
