Ning Fan frowned, and Luo Xiao on the side immediately noticed his worry and sent a message to him,
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, you want the Luo family's tombkeeper quota, I have already informed the head of the family... The head of the house came back today just to give the fellow daoist a quota, otherwise there is no need to come back in person. Even though the fellow daoist still has It’s okay if you haven’t mastered the first transformation of the God of War yet!”
"Is it..."
Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Ning Fan not only did not look relaxed, but instead frowned even deeper.
Luo Shi twirled his beard, and the monks in the secret hall were talking about it.
After a long time, he coughed lightly, and suddenly the secret hall fell into silence again. Even the five Shekong didn't dare to say anything.
Looking lightly at the monks in the temple, Luo Shifu said again,
"For this tomb competition, our Luo family has a total of eight places for tomb keepers. I returned to Tianhaixing this time to inform you of the start time of the tomb competition, and to jointly select eight tomb keepers with 'Miss Xuan' By."
Speaking of this, Luo Shi smiled politely at Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan Yingying walked out of the crowd and stood side by side with Luo Shi. She still had a proud temperament in her bones, but she still bowed respectfully to Luo Shi. That respect came from the heart.
Occasionally, several guests who had recently joined the Luo family were startled and confused when they suddenly heard Luo Shi calling Luo Xuan.
Even Ning Fan showed a slightly strange look.
"Miss Xuan..."
Savoring Luo Shi's name to Luo Xuan, Ning Fan's eyes flickered, thoughtfully.
Luo Shi is the head of the Luo family, and Luo Xuan is the young master, but Luo Shi calls Luo Xuan 'Miss'...
"My fellow Taoist, I don't know. Among the descendants of the War King, the young master is the bloodline most similar to the War King. The family master is not a descendant of the War Queen. He is not even a monk of my Luo family, but a servant of the War King."
"The head of the family has followed King War all his life, and after King War fell asleep, he made a great oath to succeed him as the head of the Luo family. He is just here to protect Queen Zhan and his descendants and wait for King War to wake up... Although the head of the family has a high level of cultivation, his status is also He is prominent, but he has always been very polite to us and other direct descendants of the War King... Among the Luo family, the one who hopes the War King will wake up the most is none other than the head of the family."
Seeing the confusion in Ning Fan's eyes, Luo Xiao explained via voice transmission.
Hearing this, Ning Fan showed a slightly moved expression. Look towards Luo Shi.
This Luo Shi is the head of the Luo family, the ninth elder of the Shenxu Pavilion, and a servant of the War King...
When the King of War fell into a coma, he guarded the Luo family for his master, treated King War's descendants kindly, and waited for his master to wake up. He remained loyal...
In the world of cultivation, there are really not many servants as loyal to their master as Luo Shi.
The identity itself is prominent. But there are very few people who still care about their past relationship...
Luo Shi is an early stage monk of Sui Nian, and his cultivation is three realms higher than Ning Fan.
Ning Fan could not clearly see the outline of Luo Shidao before, but now after listening to Luo Xiao's words and looking at the charm of Luo Shi's whole body, he had a clear understanding.
"If I'm not mistaken, this man's way should be the 'road of loyalty'... Loyalty from beginning to end is all he has... But in this loyalty, there is still loneliness. There is also loneliness. , as well as guilt and longing for the master..."
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with green light as he read Luo Shi's Taoist rhyme carefully.
Luo Shi seemed to feel something. He nodded and smiled at Ning Fan.
Among the group of cultivators, an excited Xuan from the Luo family suddenly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Luo Shi and Luo Xuan, and asked,
"I dare to ask the head of the family, the specific time for the start of this tomb competition. When exactly? What are the criteria for selecting the eight tomb guard places? Is it the same as in previous years?"
As soon as this person asked the question, the entire secret hall fell silent immediately, everyone was waiting for Luo Shi's answer.
"The time for the tomb competition has been set ten years later, during the season when the fog locks the eastern sky. The Bell Festival has been cancelled, so there will be no Yuanshen wine as a reward for this tomb competition..."
Halfway through Luo Shi's words, a monk immediately exclaimed, "Ten years! It's actually early!"
Another monk thought thoughtfully, "Is the early burial ceremony for the sake of Brother An Dongming's heart? After the chaos, people's hearts are not at peace. This grand gathering may make people gradually forget the catastrophe caused by Senluo." "
Luo Shi waved his hands to silence everyone, and then spoke again,
"The requirements of the Shenxu Si Pavilion for the tomb guards for this tomb competition are that the bone age must be less than 200,000 years. Therefore, those with a bone age of more than 200,000 years should step back on their own while the rest will step forward!"
"What! Two hundred thousand years! In the last tomb comparison, the bone age limit was still two hundred and twenty thousand years, but this time it has been reduced again!" A Luo family monk in the late stage of Human Xuan immediately showed a sad look on his face.
His bone age is more than 210,000 years old. From this point of view, this tomb competition has no chance for him.
Countless people had to be eliminated based on their bone age alone. Ninety percent of the hundreds of second-step monks immediately retreated to the back of the palace.
Only forty-one people took a step forward.
Ning Fan is naturally among these forty-one people. If his bone age were to be revealed, he would probably be the lowest in this palace...
Wang Meng was still following Ning Fan, and his bone age was less than 200,000 years old.
"What is your bone age?" Ning Fan asked, frowning slightly.
"Return to the master, 190,000!" Wang Meng endured the pain on his body and replied with a smile.
Now that Ning Fan was his master, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction towards Ning Fan.
"One hundred and nineteen thousand years old, why does he look like an old man?" Ning Fan had a strange look in his eyes.
Generally speaking, most people who are 190,000 years old at the peak of Gui Xuan are young people. There are very few old men with as strong muscles as Wang Meng.
"Haha, the villain's qualifications were not very good before. When he was in the golden elixir, he almost died of old age, so he looked like this... But then, in despair, the villain actually awakened the eight-ji battle body. , the qualifications increased sharply, and then I broke into the Nascent Soul realm, and went all the way to today..."
"I see..."
Ning Fan nodded and ignored Wang Meng.
Compared to Wang Meng, he was naturally more concerned about which eight of these forty-one people could become tomb keepers.
Although Luo Xiao gave him a guarantee, he has not yet completed the first transformation... The selection of the quota came too quickly and too hastily.
"Including Miss Xuan, there are only forty-two people. It's a little less than expected..."
Luo Shi shook his head, and then said, "Then, according to the traditional rules of my Luo family, the monks who have cultivated the first transformation of the God of War will show off the flames of war. One step forward!"
As soon as Luo Shi said this, only sixteen of the forty-one people stepped forward.
Among these sixteen people was Luo Xiao. There is Wang Meng, there is the Luo Family Ming Immortal, and there is also the Second Peak Keqing, but none of them are Duzhen, only their bone age. Then he brushed away countless Duzhen.
There are more than nine flames of war hovering around everyone!
After summoning the flames of war, fighting spirit flowed in everyone's eyes!
Among these sixteen people, there is no Ning Fan...
Luo Xiao showed a hint of worry and looked towards the head of the family, Luo Shi.
Before this, the head of the family had clearly promised him that Ning Fan would be among the tombkeepers this time, but now, Ning Fan was eliminated in advance. Not consistent with the preface...
Luo Xuan also frowned and couldn't help but look in the direction of Ning Fan.
Suddenly, there was a trace of regret in his heart. Unfortunately, Ning Fan seemed to have failed to obtain the qualification to be selected as the tombkeeper...
Ning Fan also stared slightly, but didn't say much.
Luo Shi glanced at the sixteen people in front of him, nodded, and asked Luo Xuan beside him,
"Sixteen people, there are quite a few this time... So. I have invited Miss Xuan. I will select six people from these sixteen people to occupy seven places together with Miss Xuan. As for the last place. I will I have an idea that I would like to leave to those second-step monks who have not completed the first transformation but have reached the required bone age. What do you think of this proposal, Miss Xuan?"
"Leave a place for those monks who have not completed the first transformation?" Luo Xuan was startled, not knowing why. When Luo Xuan heard this, she felt a little lucky in her heart.
With almost no hesitation, Luo Xuan immediately nodded her head and said,
"Okay, just as the head of the family said, give those who have not yet achieved the first transformation a place and a chance."
"Haha, that's good. In that case, let's first select the six places to achieve the first transformation."
Luo Shi nodded, then pointed his finger, and a light door immediately appeared in the secret hall, leading directly to a small world, and announced the rules for competing for places.
Sixteen people compete for six places. The way to determine the places is to fight and compete based on their strength.
Sixteen monks followed Luo Shi and Luo Xuan into the Small Thousand Realm. An hour later, everyone determined their places based on their strength.
The monks who won the six places were all ghosts and mystical cultivators.
Luo Xiao was naturally among the six. Although Wang Meng was seriously injured, he gritted his teeth and grabbed a spot.
In this way, plus Luo Xuan, the Luo family has eight places, seven of which have been confirmed.
There is only the last spot left, and it will be born from Ning Fan and other twenty-five people.
Ning Fan was already convinced at this moment that Luo Shi's move was to deliberately give him an opportunity to show his kindness and give him a place as a tombkeeper.
Among these twenty-five people, the one with the highest cultivation level is only a late-stage Ghost Mystic.
Everyone looked at Ning Fan with a hint of fear and fear.
If the competition for this last spot is still based on strength, no one will be able to compete with Ning Fan.
Wang Meng's tragic end is a lesson learned from the past.
Ning Fan, who used to be unknown in the Luo family, suddenly gained power. This power made many monks look at Ning Fan with a bit of shudder...
"It seems that we have no hope of winning this last spot..." A Luo family monk in the late stage of Gui Xuan sighed helplessly.
This sigh also came out softly from the mouths of other monks.
"Haha, don't be discouraged. You may not get this last spot..."
Luo Shi smiled slightly, but after smiling, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
In an instant, an unimaginable power of Taoism came out of his mouth and turned into a word like the power of heaven.
"Disperse!"
This loose word carries with it the great supernatural power of speaking and following the law. As soon as the word is spoken, an indescribable power of the great avenue sweeps away from the center of the secret hall!
Within a radius of ten feet in the center of the secret hall, all the monks were forced back and could not get close!
The land with a radius of ten feet seemed to have become a vacuum zone.
Not even Ning Fan, not even Luo Family Duzhen, not even the five Shekong members of the Luo Family can approach this place without permission, and cannot go against Luo Shi's Taoist will!
This is the utterance and magic that can only be performed by the powerful in the middle stage of Broken Thoughts!
Luo Shi, on the other hand, has already touched the wonderful realm of words and Dharma, and is not far away from breaking through the middle stage of broken thoughts!
Luo Shifu patted the storage bag again, and a starlight immediately flew out of the storage bag and fell in the center of the secret hall, turning into a giant starlight!
"Among the twenty-five of you, whoever can smash this stone will get the last tomb guard spot!"
As soon as Luo Shi said this, everyone here took a breath of air.
Just because of this huge stone that fell in the center of the secret hall. Astonishingly, it turned out to be a huge piece of ancient star iron!
With the eyesight of the cultivators, they can all see that this is the six-star divine iron, which can be used to make the ancient divine weapons used by Duzhen monks!
Advantages of Taikoo Star Iron. In addition to the fact that the made magic weapon can be upgraded, it is extremely sturdy.
Although this stone has not been refined into a treasure, it is so hard that even a monk in the early stages of Duzhen might not be able to break it with one blow...
"I'll give it a try! After all, it's just a piece of ancient star iron. It won't be scary to any living person! Even if it fails, it doesn't matter..."
Among the twenty-five people, a monk in the middle stage of Ghost Mystery immediately came out.
This man glanced at Ning Fan with deep fear, gritted his teeth, took a step forward, waved his hand, summoned the Taoist soldiers, and without saying a word, struck the boulder with a hammer.
His Taoist weapon is a sky-fire silver hammer, which he swings quickly. Immediately, there was a sonic boom and a roar that echoed through the secret hall.
This hammer bombardment almost used all the strength of this man's life, but when it hit the boulder, it only caused some ripples on the boulder and did not cause any damage to the boulder.
The next moment, the boulder suddenly appeared with star power, and the direction of the star power flow was contrary to the law of the great road!
There was also a counter-shock force that was several times stronger than the previous hammer blow, suddenly coming from the boulder. It turned into a sharp light and immediately struck this person head-on.
This Silver Hammer Taoist soldier was blown to pieces by the force of the counter-shock in just an instant.
And his body was like a fallen leaf flying upside down. He flew high into the sky, but crashed to the ground miserably, already seriously injured and unconscious.
"This is...'Ancient Reverse Star'!!!"
In an instant, all the monks in the secret hall showed shocked expressions.
There were also many people who looked at him in shock. Hiding a fiery look!
The ancient reverse star is an extremely rare type of ancient star iron.
The flow direction of this iron star's power is contrary to the avenue, and ordinary types of ancient divine weapons cannot be made with this reverse star.
Before this iron is made into a treasure, humans cannot touch it, let alone attack it, otherwise they will be severely counterattacked by the power of the inverse star contained in this iron.
There is only one kind of armor-type magic weapon that can be refined with this inverse star.
It is a kind of magic armor, called the 'Star-Reverse Magic Armor'. It not only has amazing defense, but also has magical counterattack powers...
The star iron level of this ancient inverse star is six stars.
Six-star divine iron was originally the weapon-refining material commonly used by Duzhen monks, but Shekong used seven-star iron and disdained the use of six-star divine iron.
But if it is a six-star reverse star iron, even the Shekong monks will fight for it.
Unfortunately, this iron is generally priceless, and it is extremely difficult to find a piece, let alone such a huge piece.
"The Taikoo Reverse Star is actually the Taikoo Reverse Star... It's such a big piece. Who but the monk She Kong would dare to attack this iron? That middle-stage Ghost Xuan was only seriously injured by the backlash. It's a blessing. If it were me. When Du Zhen attacks this iron, the force of the counter-shock will increase simultaneously with the increase of our attacks. By then, it will not be a simple matter of injury! If you are not careful, your life may not be saved!"
Some Luo Family Duzhen gradually put away their fiery gazes, and when they looked at the boulders again, they began to shake their heads.
"The counter-shock power of this reverse star is too terrifying. It is really unwise to risk your life to try to destroy this reverse star for the sake of the tomb guard quota."
There are twenty-five cultivators to be selected, excluding the mid-stage Gui Xuan who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and excluding Ning Fan, there are still twenty-three people.
After seeing the miserable state of the previous man, none of the twenty-three people had the courage to attack the boulder.
Everyone wants to compete for the last tomb guard spot, but they are afraid of the counterattack star power of the boulder.
Only Ning Fan looked at the ancient anti-star boulder with solemn eyes, showing no intention of retreating.
"With my current strength, it is not difficult to smash this stone with a full blow. However, after one blow, I will definitely receive several times the backlash force of this stone..."
"With its counter-shock power, it won't be enough to make me fall, but it is inevitable that I will be seriously injured..."
Ning Fan moved his eyes and looked towards Luo Shi.
In Luo Shi's eyes, Ning Fan saw a look of expectation.
"This ancient reverse star is Luo Shi's test for me... Luo Shi doesn't mind showing kindness to me, and he doesn't mind giving me a place as a tombkeeper of the Luo family, but the prerequisite is that I must show corresponding strength. ..”
"No, it's not just strength. What Luo Shi wants to test is what decision I will make when facing this ancient reverse star! Fight or avoid! Brave or cowardly!"
Ning Fan took a deep breath and stepped forward.
In order to get a place as a tombkeeper of the Luo family, he has come so far, and there is no way he could back down out of fear of getting hurt!
"By the way, there is one thing I forgot to mention..."
The moment Ning Fan stepped forward, Luo Shi suddenly spoke again,
"This time there is one more rule than before. Due to the cancellation of the Bell Festival, the monk who won the first place in the tomb this time does not have the Yuan Shen Wine reward, but has a special reward. This person can do what he can in Shenxu Pavilion. Within the scope, make a request to Shenxu Pavilion. Shenxu Pavilion will do its best to fulfill this person's request! Any request!"
"I wonder if my little friend has any wish that needs to be fulfilled by the Four Pavilions of Shenxu? If so, then in order to achieve your wish, you have a reason not to retreat. You must be determined to get this position; this ancient reverse star must also It’s no longer scary..."
Luo Shi obviously said the last sentence to Ning Fan alone, and this sentence was particularly meaningful.
His original intention was to enlighten Ning Fan in front of this ancient inverse star.
Tell Ning Fan the essence of the God of War Art, and help Ning Fan experience the state of mind of "having to fight against the odds" in the face of this ancient anti-star!
But what Luo Shi didn't expect was that his last words made Ning Fan think of other things!
Ning Fan naturally heard that Luo Shi's words were full of instructions.
But what he cared more about was what Luo Shi said before.
At this moment, Ning Fan's eyes suddenly froze, and his heart was filled with waves!
"If you are number one in the tomb ratio, can you make a request to Shenxu Pavilion!"
"Any request is acceptable!"
"Is it okay to just cross out Ah Ci's name from the list of sacrifices in Shenxu Pavilion?"
At this moment, Ning Fan's desire to win the tomb guard's place was not for the inheritance of Luan Gu's other half for the first time, but for... a request!
If he still has this right if he comes first in the tomb match, then for him, this tomb match is no longer optional, but... a must-win!
This spot must be fought for and must not be given to anyone!
As soon as this mood appeared, the flames of war in Ning Fan's body suddenly surged and rushed out of the body!
Beside him, six flames of war swirled in an instant, and in his eyes, another fighting spirit emerged crazily!
"Six Paths of War Fire!!! This boy has only joined the Luo family for less than ten months, how can he cultivate the Six Paths of War Fire!!!"
At this moment, countless people in the secret palace were immediately shocked by Ning Fan's Six Paths of War.
Even Luo Shi's usually calm face suddenly had a look of shock!
(1/2)(To be continued.)
