"Fellow Taoists, Lin and his brothers and sisters at home will take the first step."
Lin Zhidong's mood swings were not big, which was also related to his unsmiling appearance. When he walked to the door of the trial tower, he planned to take the first batch of Lin family children into the tower.
It seems that Lin Zhidong and the others just want to get here with the others and then go their separate ways.
Jiang Xia and the others had no objection. After all, they just boarded the same ship and were forced to unite to fight against the ninth-level octopus demon.
Now that I have successfully climbed the tower, there is no reason to team up with people I don’t know at all.
Just like Jiang Xia and the others were afraid of entering the tower trial with the Lin family and were wary of stabbing them in the back, of course they felt more at ease teaming up with people they trusted.
Zhuzhu and the other three had no objections. Who knew what was going on in the trial tower? Having more people didn't necessarily give them an advantage.
Not to mention her relationship with her sister, Ji Chongli is also very trustworthy.
A three-person team is also pretty good.
Jiang Xia and others invited Zhuzhu and the others after the Lin family entered the tower.
They were interested in the strength of Zhuzhu and her sister. Coming from a large sect in Ziyun Continent, it was rare for them to meet two female cultivators whose strength was not inferior to theirs on other continents.
As for Ji Chongli, who is slightly weaker, he can be regarded as an addition.
After hesitating for a while, Zhuzhu and her sister shook their heads and refused. There were only three of them. If they were to form a team with Jiang Xia and other nine people, Song Pingting would have to listen to their arrangements due to her tough character. She would definitely not be as comfortable as the three of them. .
Although there are four tests on the Danfu array in the later levels.
However, not long ago, Zhuzhu learned from her sister that she had inherited the Alchemy Dao of the Wuyuan Sect in ancient times and was now a fifth-grade alchemist.
Fortunately, the only vacancy between the sisters in the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation was filled by Ji Chongli. After asking, Zhuzhu found out that this guy with the physique of a koi was a sixth-grade weapon refiner.
Since the three of them are involved in the four arts of Dan Fu Array, there is no need to form a team with unfamiliar people.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Song Pingting admired female cultivators who were as capable as she was, so she instructed Junior Sister Jiang to invite them to help them pass the test together. Since they didn't know what was good and what was bad, why should she be so sentimental?
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Xia, who still wanted to persuade, into the trial tower.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the promise I made before will always be valid in the trial tower."
Zhuzhu did not forget to remind Jiang Xia and others of the promise she had made.
"Ha--wait until you get to the level where you can stump us."
Song Pingting turned around and taunted the three of them, then led Jiang Xia and others into the trial tower and disappeared.
"Let's go in quickly."
Those people arrived after a while, and when they saw them, there was bound to be a dispute.
Behind the golden door of the Trial Tower, there was no splendid decoration as they imagined. Instead, it was shrouded in a layer of white mist that even spiritual consciousness could not penetrate, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Ni Sifeng quietly held Zhuzhu's hand. No matter what, she must not be separated from Zhuzhu.
Zhuzhu turned around and grabbed Ji Chongli's sleeve, and the three of them walked hand in hand into the white mist...
"Crackling..."
After the sound of firecrackers, the "tick-tick-tick" sound of the suona sounded again, and the sound penetrated for several miles.
"It's so noisy, it really disturbs your dreams!"
A girl with a beautiful face woke up from her sleep on the noisy bed, then sat up in a daze, rubbed her eyes dissatisfied, and then shouted outside: "Cuiwu, go see what is so noisy outside! "
"Second Miss, why did you wake up so early today?"
A little maid with a delicate face walked in. She was very surprised to see that the second lady, who always slept until three o'clock in the morning, woke up in the early morning.
This little maid is what the girl calls Cui Wu.
"There are loud gongs and drums and firecrackers blasting outside. How can I sleep?"
The girl, the second young lady in the maid's mouth, didn't have enough sleep, and she was angry to get out of bed. She looked very dissatisfied: "Go and see whose family died early in the morning, and how long it will take for it to end."
"Second young lady, be careful what you say."
The little maid ignored her young lady's anger when she got up, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand: "The Ninth Prince next door to us is marrying the princess today. I heard that he is marrying the legitimate daughter of the Song Dynasty Secretary. Can't we have eight large sedan chairs to play with? .”
Ninth Prince?
The second young lady tilted her head and thought for a moment. Although her home was a neighbor of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, as a concubine, she rarely left the house all year round, so she had hardly seen the Ninth Prince.
It seems that I only met him once. In my memory, I remember a prince who was serious in speech and facial expression. He had a dead face, as if everyone owed him money, and his whole person was like an iceberg.
If you were to marry such an iceberg, that would be really...
The second young lady thought for a while and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. She couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Miss Song, whom she had never met.
If you live with such ice-capped people every day, you will freeze to death sooner or later.
"Now that the second lady is awake, would you like to go out from the corner gate to see the excitement?" Cui Wu asked with bright eyes.
"You want to go and see it!" The second lady rolled her eyes at Cui Wu.
Cui Wu scratched his head, took the second lady's hand and said coquettishly: "Good lady, today is the wedding of the most handsome Ninth Prince in the capital. Half the city has come out to watch the fun, let's go and see it too."
The second young lady was unmoved and yawned, stretched again, then got out of bed and stood up, "Is the eldest sister at home?"
"The eldest lady just left the mansion and said that she made an appointment with the ladies from other mansions to go out to the lake today. I guess the eldest lady must have secretly gone to see the Ninth Prince get married."
"Why don't you call me, eldest sister?"
Upon hearing that the eldest sister had gone out alone, the second young lady couldn't help but feel disappointed and aggrieved.
"My little ancestor, how often do you not wake up until noon? If you don't get enough sleep, you will get angry in bed. Now in the whole house, no one except the eldest lady dares to ask you to get up."
Whoever yells is the one who gets offended.
If the sound of firecrackers and suonas outside hadn't woken up the second lady, no matter how much Cui Wu yearned for the excitement outside, he wouldn't have dared to wake up his own lady.
"oh!"
The second young lady touched her nose in embarrassment. In her memory, she seemed to have lost her temper several times with the eldest sister who asked her to wake up. Fortunately, the eldest sister had a good temper and did not hold grudges.
"Hurry up and ask the little girl outside to fetch water. After we finish cleaning up and leave the house openly, we will go find the eldest sister."
The second lady possessed by the God of Sleep was not very interested in the Ninth Prince getting married, so she just took this opportunity to go out for a walk.
Upon hearing this, Cui Wu happily urged the watering girl standing outside to fetch water, while he quickly helped the second lady get dressed.
For some reason, the second young lady who was being served frowned. She felt unaccustomed to it and wanted to take the clothes away from Cui Wu and wear them herself.
Mingming Cuiwu grew up with her and has been serving him for several years, so he should have been used to it.
Maybe she didn't sleep well today, so she had this illusion.
The second young lady shook her head, quickly threw away all the distracting thoughts, and wanted to run out of the house to play.
Anyway, my father and mother will definitely go to the Ninth Prince's wedding banquet today. If we don't go out to have fun at this time, we don't know when we can go out next time.
only……
The second lady, who had been sitting in front of the dowry for nearly half an hour, yawned again. She looked at the complicated and delicate lily bun on her head and the jingling pearls all over her head, and her heart rose again. Feelings of restlessness and unreality.
Is this really what you like?
I don't seem to like such tedious dressing up.
She raised her hand and pulled out the largest hairpin on her head, and then removed the two hairpins inlaid with gold and jade. Only then did she feel that her head felt much lighter.
Looking at the second young lady's displeased look and series of actions, Cui Wu asked in confusion: "Second young lady, why did you take off all the hairpins on your head?"
"dislike."
The second young lady said categorically. At this moment, she was even more determined in her thoughts. She didn't like it very much.
"But these are the second young lady's favorite jewelry. The young lady must bring them every time she leaves the house."
Cui Wu always feels that today's second lady's personality seems to have changed a lot compared to before.
If she had been woken up by firecrackers before, the second lady would not have just complained a few times, let alone discarded her favorite jewelry.
"Maybe it's because I've grown up. These gold and jade are too tacky. Besides, I am naturally beautiful. Without these gold and jade to set off, my appearance will become even more attractive."
The second lady told the truth about Versailles.
After removing those cumbersome headdresses, her beautiful and unparalleled facial features became much more spiritual. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she looked radiant.
It looks much better than wearing a head full of gold and jade headdresses, which is too gorgeous and vulgar. I did have a problem with my aesthetics in the past.
The second young lady feels that she should improve her aesthetics more in the future.
