Several Danjie monks talked in the cave for a while and then walked out, taking five juniors with them to the place where the money tide was to be tested.
The garden that Fairy Guhuo arranged for Qian Chao to test is on the side of her cave. It does not occupy a large area, but it is very exquisitely repaired. There are clumps of green bamboos, tall and tall trees, and nurseries full of flowers. It is well-proportioned and has its own rules. The ground paths are paved with smooth pebbles. At a glance, there is a stone pavilion in the center of the garden. There are stone tables and benches in the stone pavilion.
After stopping at the edge of the garden, Fairy Guhuo stood up and said to everyone:
"We don't have to waste time, Qian Chao. Today's test completely simulates the situation when entering the forbidden area. When you enter the forbidden area, you will naturally observe it first, so you can watch it for a while here, and you can also ask Tang Ping about the situation of the spiritual beasts inside. , she should recognize a lot of them. I also tell you that this test will never hurt you, but don’t think that you can just ignore it because it won’t hurt. You only have one chance, just like you only have one life in the forbidden area. If you are discovered, it means you are dead, and the test will fail, so you must be careful."
"Yes." Qian Chao responded respectfully.
"Okay, then I'll get started."
After Fairy Guhuo finished speaking, she took out a small spirit beast bag and threw it into her garden... The small bag drew an arc and fell into the nursery and disappeared, followed by a strange roar, From where the flowers were blooming, a guy with shiny black fur and legs as strong as a big cat suddenly jumped out. As soon as it landed on the ground, it first looked towards the crowd, and then immediately turned back alertly. It turned around and jumped away immediately. Behind it, a big green snake as thick as a bowl was swimming out silently against the ground. The snake's head, which was as big as a teapot, raised its head and swung it left and right, and kept spitting out bright red water. Xinzi, and then disappeared silently and quickly into the garden. This wasn't the end yet. Then, all kinds of spiritual beasts appeared one after another from the nursery. They were of different sizes and shapes, some were huge, some were small, and some were ferocious and ferocious. , some are cute and naive, some appear alone, and some appear in several or even a group. Some can fly, some are good at jumping, some walk heavy and slow, and some appear and disappear in a flash. Qian Chao didn't even have time to see clearly. After a while, the garden was filled with figures of spiritual beasts. They were scattered all over the garden, either patrolling back and forth or crouching still. The originally unique and pleasant garden All of a sudden, various powerful auras continued to circulate.
Tang Ping's face became increasingly ugly after seeing the first spiritual beast appear.
"Qianchao," Fairy Guhuo said, "These spiritual beasts are what you can see. Remember, there are things inside that you can't see. It's the same in the forbidden area. There are dangers you can see, and there are also things you can't see." There is less danger, but for you, both are fatal dangers. Also, Ah Jiu, who has been with me for many years, is also in this garden. She is good at hiding her whereabouts, so you can’t see her, Ah Jiu He is the most powerful one in this garden. When you come out, you have to tell me where Ah Jiu is. The reason why I ask you to do this is because there is one of the most powerful guys in every forbidden area. You can only avoid it if you find it. Otherwise, one could easily lose one’s life by being careless. Besides..."
When Fairy Guhuo said this, she looked around and then casually broke off a branch from a nearby tree and held it in her hand.
"Besides that, you have to take this branch out from the stone pavilion in the garden."
After saying this, Fairy Guhuo handed the branch in her hand to Ruoyan who was waiting next to her, and asked her to place the branch on the stone table in the stone pavilion in the garden.
"Okay, just watch it first. Just say something when you want to start."
"yes."
…
Tang Bonian, Kang Fu, Fairy Lengyue, and Fairy Zhong Yao are all beside Fairy Guhuo. In their opinion, this test is too difficult, even if any one of these Danjie elders is allowed to deal with Yuanzhong alone. All the spirit beasts are sure to win, but if they are asked to follow Fairy Guhuo's test requirements, it is estimated that not many of them can do this.
Therefore, in their opinion, Qian Chao's test this time had no hope, so looking at the spirit beasts in the garden, almost all the Danjie elders thought that Fairy Guhuo was planning to make Qian Chao give up the idea of entering the forbidden area.
At this time, among the five Qian Chao people, except for Tang Ping, the four people had their eyes opened today, and they all stared at the spiritual beasts in the garden that they had never seen before without blinking.
Qian Chao had long known that this test would not be simple, but it was only after he saw the various spiritual beasts in the garden with his own eyes that he realized that what he had thought was simple.
Li Jian was not only watching at this time, but also completely letting go of his "Sword Heart Qingming". He could almost sense the breath of all the spiritual beasts he saw, except for one. Li Jian was vaguely aware of it. He noticed that there was the most powerful aura in the garden, but he could never find which spiritual beast emanated that aura. Soon Li Jian understood that the most powerful aura should be It was the Ajiu that Fairy Guhuo had mentioned. Although he couldn't see it, Li Jian at least knew its general location, but... Today's test is very crucial for Qian Chao. He will be the one who enters the forbidden area in the future. , Li Jian cannot follow him, which means that Qian Chao has to find the danger in the forbidden area by himself, so Qian Chao should find Ah Jiu in the garden now. If Li Jian tells Ah Jiu's general location Qian Chao's words might have harmed him, so Li Jian kept silent.
Lu Pingchuan said while watching:
"Tsk, tsk, be good! Look at these guys, why can't we see them outside?"
"Well, if we could see them outside, I'm afraid we wouldn't survive!" Tang Ping said.
Yanxuan stared at him in amazement, as if he was thinking of asking Tang Ping something, only then did he realize that Tang Ping's face was very ugly, and he smelled:
"Aping, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Ping said:
"It's nothing. I know now that my master had no intention of letting Mr. Qian pass this test from the beginning?"
This made Qian Chao curious, and he asked:
"Oh why?"
"Why else, because it's too difficult, Mr. Qian, although these spiritual beasts are extremely powerful in our eyes, they are all ordinary in the eyes of Senior Jiedan, and not many of them are truly powerful, of course. , the most powerful one must be my master’s Ah Jiu, but most of the spirit beasts here are not used to fight with people, but have their own special purposes. Come on, let me explain it to you in detail. Come on, look there."
Tang Ping pointed with her hand as she spoke. It was the first spiritual beast that appeared in the garden. The guy with smooth black fur like a big cat. How could it look like a leopard with a coat that was as black as satin? It was walking forward. He walked back and forth in the garden gracefully and silently with his strong four legs.
"It's a leopard." Lu Pingchuan said.
"It just looks like a leopard," Tang Ping said. "Its name is Wufang Beast. Its appearance and size are like an ordinary leopard. Its fur is pure black, but unlike a leopard, it is almost blind. A few feet away It can only see vaguely with its eyes, but its strength lies in its power of induction. In the world of spiritual practice, the most important weapon of the ownerless five-direction beast, whether it is hunting or evading pursuit, is its power of induction. This kind of spiritual beast is actually not very powerful, but its induction is very powerful. Therefore, if the spiritual monks have the opportunity, they all want to get one. What is very useful is that this kind of spiritual beast is very rare and difficult to obtain. Just get it.”
Li Jian heard that the five-dimensional beast's sensing power was amazing and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"I didn't expect it to be blind!" After hearing this, Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but look over again.
"My master doesn't have such a spirit beast either. She must have borrowed this five-direction beast from the spirit guarding column in the sect."
When Tang Ping said this, several people looked at the five-dimensional beast that looked like a black panther.
"And that one,"
Tang Ping pointed with her hand again as she spoke. This time she was pointing at a spiritual beast that was as big as a pangolin. This guy had a small head and a long tail. Its chest and back were as round as a large wooden barrel. Its belly was almost touching the ground, and its back was round. Its back is bulged high, and it moves slowly with four short, thick and powerful legs. The most striking feature is that its body is covered with a thick layer of iron-gray scales, completely covering it from the top of its head to the tip of its tail. The smooth scales are still there Under the sunlight, Tang Ping said:
"That thing is called Shadowless Tomb Carp. Take a closer look. Can you find anything?"
Since the name was Wuying Lingli, those people looked at the ground beside the big guy.
"Its shadow..." Yanxuan discovered it first, "Why not?"
"Really, where is the shadow?" Lu Pingchuan also said.
Qian Chao also discovered that this guy called Shadowless Ling Carp is really not small, and there must be a big shadow in the sun. But at this time, there are no shadows around the guy's body, but it can't be said that there is no shadow. The ground around it seems to be full of shadows. The place where it is located is somewhat different from other places where the sun can shine. The smooth pebbles on the ground in other places can still reflect the sun, but where it is This is not the case in other places, the sunlight seems to be blocked.
"The Shadowless Mausoleum carp will be able to do this after it has been raised to a certain level. This is its innate ability. It can control its own shadow to spread into a large area. Anything that steps into the range of its shadow will immediately make it Be alert, this guy is not very powerful. Its self-defense relies on the hard armor on its body and its ability to predict danger with the help of shadows. Therefore, it is used in many important places in the sect to play a protective role. "
"Then if there is no sunlight and it has no shadow, will it be useless?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"On the contrary, without light, its power becomes more powerful. It can protect all places that are not illuminated. It is more alert especially at night. Of course, it also has a certain range. Some important things in the sect Every place will have a special room inside to raise it, and if someone breaks in, it will alert you."
"I see!"
A Five Directions Beast and a Shadowless Tomb Carp, even though they are not powerful spiritual beasts, they all seem to be specialized in restraining Qian Chao's "Yuwei Technique". At this time, several people understood, and Yan Xuan couldn't help but say:
"This...this is specifically aimed at Brother Qian!"
"Of course, in fact, all the spiritual beasts are aimed at Mr. Qian. Alas, my master seems to have put some thought into it. Hey, look at that one..."
Following Tang Ping's fingers, the others looked at a large dark brown toad that looked like a mirage!
Seeing that Tang Ping was referring to that guy, Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but ask:
"I wanted to ask at that time, why did Senior Guhuo get a mirage? Could it be that he wanted to use this guy's illusion to deal with Brother Qian?"
"That's not a mirage, but it looks very similar to a mirage. Its name is 'Glare Bug'. If you look carefully, it's the same as a mirage, with eyes all over its body."
Sure enough, on the dark brown body surface of the staring bug, except for the two big round eyes the size of teacups on its face, there are all the other things on its head, back, and four legs. They were all covered with eyes, but they were different from the mirages Qian Chao and the others had seen outside before. These eyes were not big, but they were more numerous and dense, and they kept opening and closing them and blinking. It makes people feel scared and confused at the same time.
Tang Ping continued:
"The Staring Bug cannot perform illusions, but it is said that each of its many eyes has astonishing vision, and can observe all the movements around it in detail. Alas, the Staring Bug is not used by the Spirit Controlling Monk to fight with people. It is raised in some large sects or aristocratic families to play a protective and warning role. It will scream when it detects anything abnormal, and I heard that its scream is very loud. Brother Lu, I heard my master say that the gazelle roars with all its strength. The sound can be heard thousands of miles away."
"Oh." Lu Pingchuan immediately became interested in the staring bug and looked carefully at its big mouth that was tightly closed into a gap.
Tang Ping pointed to another place and said:
"Look there, that big green snake..."
This time Tang Ping was referring to a nursery full of flowers. If you don't look closely, you can easily miss it. Inside, there is a green snake head the size of a teapot lying low and silent. If you look carefully, you can still see it. Looking at the vertical stripe-like eye on the snake's head, the bright red letter would spit out and shake quickly from time to time and then quickly retract.
"That kind of snake is called the threshold snake. It is very powerful among these spiritual beasts. In addition to being difficult to provoke, its sense of smell is almost the best among the spiritual beasts of the same level. The threshold snake is also used as a guardian beast. For example, for monks who visit important places, the smell of each monk will always be different from others. As long as a strange smell appears in the place guarded by the threshold snake, no matter whether the person's appearance is the same as that of the people who come often, it will They will all launch attacks, and relying on this, this kind of snake is often used in some important places to identify visitors.”
"That's right."
After hearing this, Lu Pingchuan stretched out his hand and pointed:,
"Is this snake's nose smarter than that dog's nose?"
There is also a big gray dog lying on the ground in the garden, constantly scanning the surroundings. This gray dog seems to be a little afraid of the five-way beast that looks like a black panther. Whenever the five-way beast strolls over, it He always gets up and hides to one side to avoid it.
Tang Ping said:
"That's a banquet dog. Its combat power is average, but its hearing is the best. In addition, its ears and eyesight are also good. It is usually raised for guarding and warning purposes. Also, Mr. Qian, Look at the birds falling on the tree..."
Several people followed what Tang Ping pointed out and saw five or six round little maroon birds, just like ordinary sparrows, but their beaks were pointed and more slender than sparrows. They were stopping on the branches and using their beaks. Preen your feathers.
"That kind of bird is called the drum bird. It is very sensitive to spiritual energy. Even if it cannot hear or see, it can detect any slight fluctuation of spiritual energy. As long as they notice it, they will chirp. They keep barking, and if they think the danger is not great, they will fly over and hover above the place where the spiritual energy wave is emitting."
"So amazing!" Yanxuan said in surprise.
"Of course, today my master got almost all the guardian beasts that protect the important places in the sect. And, that one..."
This time Tang Ping was referring to a guy who looked like a big squirrel. This thing was red all over. Its body was actually not very big. It only stood about two feet tall, but its big tail was really big. It was half a foot long, and extremely fluffy. With the same fiery red fur, it was as if this guy was on fire all over and trailing an even bigger flame.
"That thing is called Qiansi Fire Rat. It has red hair all over its body, especially its big fiery red tail. All its abilities are related to that tail. This thing is timid and suspicious. As long as it detects something, There will be many almost invisible but extremely hot hairs protruding from its tail, which will immediately catch fire if touched. If it is wrapped in layers, you will know the fate!"
In this way, Tang Ping pointed at the spiritual beasts that could be seen in the yard and explained them to everyone one by one. It has to be said that it is almost difficult to pass Fairy Guhuo's test to reach the sky. Finally, Tang Ping sighed and saw Zhu Qianchao said:
"Boy Qian, I don't think much of you now. Alas, it must be because I told the master yesterday about your subtle technique, and the master remembered it in his heart. Then today, he took the target and specifically found so many people in the sect for guarding and warning. The spirit beast is coming to restrain you, and Ah Jiu is also hiding inside. She is hidden and we can’t see her, but don’t underestimate Ah Jiu. She is the most powerful. When it comes to guarding and vigilance, The effect is no worse than the spiritual beasts we can see, do you feel confident now?"
"I haven't really used this subtle technique since I learned it. I have to give it a try whether it works or not."
"Okay." Tang Ping said helplessly. Now she can only let Qian Chao give it a try.
…
Qian Chao turned around and saluted Fairy Guhuo and said:
"Senior Guhuo, this junior has seen it and is ready to officially start the test."
"Well, you can start anytime."
