After saying that, the people around Du Jie seemed to explode. A few people in front of Du Jie even shouted excitedly.
"We are going to choose three saints this time? Then won't my girl's chances increase a bit?"
"Does your escort master deserve a saint? Let your girl survive the Immortal Tribulation first, otherwise she won't be able to get there in her twenties. Haha!"
"Who are you, and you dare to amuse your uncle!"
Seeing that the two groups were about to fight, a young man wearing a young man's clothes next to him yelled: "Shut up, are you, a firefly, worthy of competing with the sun and the moon?"
The two of them actually shut up when they saw the young man's clothes and accessories.
The young man continued: "The people here today are all martial arts leaders. How dare you, like rats and flies, speak nonsense here!"
Du Jie felt strange when he saw it, and asked Wu Qi in a low voice: "Third senior brother, what kind of sect does this person belong to? He doesn't seem to be easy to mess with."
Wu Qi chuckled and said: "This man is a local snake. Look at the accessories he wears, which are the status symbols of the escort alliance. It seems that this person's position is not low. These escorts and guards are all members of the escort alliance. No. You are not allowed to join the escort alliance. These are the people who give them jobs, how dare they say anything."
As Wu Qizheng said, the young man turned around and bowed to Zhuo Bufan: "The disciples of the escort alliance have met Master Zhuo Pavilion. The people in the sect are ignorant and have tainted your ears."
Zhuo Bufan nodded and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man replied: "Situ Deng, the bodyguard master of the Qingmu sect of the bodyguard alliance."
When Zhuo Bufan heard this name, he looked at the man again, and then said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Situ, I'm so glad to meet you. Now that everyone has started to enter the Holy Lady's Palace, let's not waste time. Mr. Situ, please Bar!."
Situ Deng was a little surprised after hearing this, but he immediately gave way. Seeing Zhuo Bufan leading everyone from Yashan to the Immortal Tribulation, his face instantly darkened.
When Zhuo Bufan and his party finished the Immortal Tribulation and approached the Holy Lady's Palace, the deacon on the side came over and said, "I have met Master Zhuo Pavilion. On the order of the Holy Lady, I took a few of them to the viewing platform and invited the eldest grandson. Enter the Holy Lady's Palace with Miss Ye."
Changsun Wufang looked at the deacon in surprise and said, "Fourth Senior Sister and I are not participating in the Saintess election!"
The deacon smiled: "The saint said that the two of them are related to the state religion, and the women who entered the saint's palace today were all chosen for the saint. The saint has two words for the two of them. There are three thousand people in the state religion. There are four hundred and eighty-two kinds of vegetation in the world, and there are also several top-notch techniques that are only taught to saints. Please give them some consideration."
Ye Qingcheng's eyes brightened slightly after hearing the top-level skills, and he looked at Zhuo Bufan. Zhuo Bufan nodded, and Ye Qingcheng silently walked to the deacon's side. Changsun Wufang, who was next to him, had the intention not to go, but he was afraid that his senior sister would be unable to stand alone, and he heard the grass and trees in the state religion, so he had no choice but to walk over.
Wu Qi muttered to Du Jie and Kong Miaozhi in a low voice: "The state religion robs people in front of their faces. What's the use of being a nun?"
The deacon smiled and said nothing. After inviting them to the viewing platform, he took Zhangsun Wufang and Ye Qingcheng into the Holy Lady's Palace.
After Zhuo Bufan and his party finally sat down, they discovered that there were already more than a hundred women standing in the Holy Lady's Palace.
Du Jie saw it and asked strangely: "There are only so many people who came to be selected as saints today? Why do I remember that there must be at least a thousand women in the crowd outside."
Wu Qi looked at Changsun Wufang and Ye Qingcheng, who were at a loss in the Saintess' Palace, and said, "Maybe the Immortal Tribulation just now eliminated the rest."
Just as he was talking, he heard a sentence coming from the Holy Maiden Palace: "The time has come." Immediately afterwards, the gate of the Holy Maiden Palace was closed tightly. The women who were blocked from the door finally stepped through the immortal calamity and saw the closed palace door. Quite a few people actually jumped on him. But the palace door has been closed, and these originally proud women can only leave in disgrace.
There are hundreds of silk scarves placed in front of a wall in the Sainte's Palace. At first glance, these ribbons are made by famous artists from the south of the Yangtze River. They are all different but all unique. A deacon led everyone to the wall and said: "You can take it according to your preference. It can be regarded as a gift from the Holy Maiden Palace to everyone who has come from afar."
The hundred or ten people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what the Holy Lady Palace meant. For a while, no one stepped forward to choose.
Seeing that no one came forward, the deacon smiled and said: "I only have time for one stick of incense, so don't be polite." After saying that, he picked up a silk scarf from the shelf and placed one side in front of everyone. Only then did everyone see the dense black dots on the scarf, which seemed to be writing.
The smart woman inside understood it instantly, rushed to the shelf and took off a piece at random. She saw that it was densely covered with small regular script, and the title "Flying Flower Sword Jue" was written in the place where the title was broken.
"It is indeed a martial arts secret book. Can we take these as we please?" the woman asked in disbelief.
"Take whatever you want!"
After these two words came out of the deacon's mouth, everyone couldn't hold it in anymore. The silk scarves on the shelf were instantly divided up. Some people even started fighting over a scarf that contained some martial arts secrets.
However, there were a few who didn't take any, and looked with disdain at those who were crazy about scarves.
When the deacon saw that the time for burning incense was up, he coughed and said, "The time has come. If the silk scarf does not belong to its owner, then I will take it back." After speaking, he pointed to the square scarf that was torn off by the two of them. The two men reluctantly put the two halves of the scarf back.
The deacon took the scarf back and then continued: "The saint will come out immediately to issue the first assessment. You still have time to give the scarf in your hand to others. The assessment is also related to the scarf in many ways. Please make your decision early." After saying that, the deacon smiled mysteriously and left.
All the women were stunned after hearing this. The joy of grabbing the scarf instantly sobered them up. Some stared at the scarf in a daze. What did the deacon mean just now? Could it be that this silk scarf is actually causing trouble?
Those who had grabbed the most began to get close to those around them, intentionally or unintentionally, as if they wanted to give the scarves in their hands to others.
Changsun Wufang and Ye Qingcheng didn't go to grab the silk scarf, but someone just sent one over, and that person was obsessed with Ye Qingcheng's appearance for a long time. Changsun Wufang took the silk scarf and looked at it carefully. It was a movement technique called "Water Waves Follow the Flow".
Changsun Wufang looked at it and said: "This should be a martial arts secret book contributed by the members of the state religion, so it was given away by the state religion. However, the state religion is different from gangs. Even if the members belong to other gangs, it will not affect their career in the state religion. Position."
Ye Qingcheng looked at the square silk scarf and remained silent.
At this moment, on the main stage of the Saintess Palace, Saint Qianqiu appeared in front of everyone, accompanied by a deacon. Behind the Saint, stood three women with bright eyes and white teeth. Wu Qi had sharp eyes, After seeing it, Du Jie poked him and said in a low voice: "Old Qi, can you help my brother see if the saint behind her is the one who made a bet with Uncle Thirteen a few days ago?"
Du Jie's heart moved and he looked up. I saw that two of the three people standing behind Saint Qianqiu knew each other. One of them was the young woman named Ming Yuan who made a bet with Zhuo Bufan in the Jinfeng Yulu Building, and the other was Yuehua from the old prince's family. Princess Yuehua, I have never seen the third one, but she has a heroic look on her face. Princess Yuehua said that the saint has three disciples, and the third one should be the woman named Fan Zhixian. Thinking of this, Du Jie secretly glanced at Zhuo Bufan who was standing aside. Zhuo Bufan lowered his head and picked up the tea cup next to him and tasted it carefully, as if he didn't care about anything in front of the stage.
At this time, Saint Qianqiu said to the three women behind her: "You guys can go down too." The three of them saluted and then walked down from the stage to the crowd.
Saint Qianqiu then said: "Back then, the first saint of the state religion was a very talented woman. Many young talents came to seek her, and if they didn't get her, they would write love poems on a silk scarf and give it to her, hoping that the saint would meet her. Seeing my talent, I came out to meet you. The saint who was so talented back then responded to every scarf she received one by one. On top of the scarf today is a martial arts secret book written in silk. I also invite everyone who is lucky enough to get it. People should understand it well. Now I will announce the content of the first trial."
"Heaven is merciless, and the saint of the state religion should take care of all people in the world as her own responsibility. The topic of the first trial is benevolence." The saint continued.
"A few days ago, there were demons in Kyoto who poisoned several wells in the imperial capital. Fortunately, they were discovered by the Venerable Nianhua of the state religion. Venerable..." After saying that, a young man in extraordinary clothes walked away next to the saint. come out, then he went on to say
"We have found the poisoned well and put in antidote, but many people in the imperial capital have been drinking the well water for several days. I wonder if you have the habit of eating snacks at night recently. When is the state religion in the past few days? There are many shops near the well, selling something called entrance cake. One of these wells is near the national religion. Your first trial is to find the demon behind the scenes at all costs. Finder You can complete the first trial. If you still can't find it within six hours, the first trial will be declared a failure, and the demon will be found by the National Religion himself." The young man said unhurriedly He finished speaking slowly, and then asked: "Is there anything you don't understand?"
One of the women with her head wrapped in a silk handkerchief asked: "So, only one person can complete the first trial?"
Venerable Nianhua nodded: "Yes, I hope you will cherish it more."
Another woman asked: "What if the demon has left the imperial capital?"
Venerable Nianhua said with a smile: "That can only be blamed on your bad luck. If you don't get the demon within six hours, this trial will be declared a failure."
"Isn't that such a child's play? We have been preparing for this trial for a long time. What is the meaning of such an unclear trial?" The people in the audience are all the daughters of a leading family, and they are all in their respective places. This proud daughter of heaven encountered such an ambiguous trial for the first time, and many people began to feel a little dissatisfied.
