Tianyun Sect, Dantang Hall
Elder Situ was sitting in the middle hall, looking directly at His Highness for seven nights.
He looked up and down with great curiosity, as if he wanted to see through everything about this thin boy.
But no matter how he checked, the aura of spiritual power emanating from the young man's body from the inside out was indeed the second level of junior level, and there was no doubt about it.
Although very puzzled
But then I thought about it:
Qiye himself is only eight or nine years old. Even if he has hidden strength, how much ability can he hide to enable him to escape from the mouth of the fifth-level monster, the Tooth Burial Centipede?
It seems that I must be worrying too much...
While the great elder was looking at him, Qiye stood obediently in the hall, waiting respectfully.
Occasionally he raised his head and glanced at Situ Qingyang who was sitting upright in the hall, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. This was the first time he had been in such close contact with the Great Elder of Dantang, and he was afraid that he would see some clues.
During the trial, I was only behind the team and glanced at it from a distance, but I didn't have much impression.
In front of him, Situ Qingyang was dressed in a white robe, spotless.
He has a calm demeanor, full of heaven, and a red face. His hair is as long as silk and his beard is as slender as silk. His eyes are as sharp as an eagle. He sits as quietly as a mountain. He is as energetic as an immortal...
Even from a certain distance, Qiye could feel the great elder's calm aura, and his whole person exuded an invisible majesty from the inside out.
This kind of strong temperament alone is different from that of the elder of Dan Hall, who has a transcendent status.
If it were an ordinary disciple, standing alone under the sharp gaze of the Great Elder, it would be difficult to remain calm.
But Qiye is not an ordinary person. He has the calm mind of the three, and is calm and calm in the face of danger.
However, in order to hide himself, he still showed some embarrassment.
…
"Are you Ah Qi? I heard that in this trial, you lured away the Tooth Burial Centipede alone. This elder is very curious, how did you survive?"
After looking at it for a long time, Situ Qingyang said, instead of making blind guesses, he simply asked directly.
"Hui, Hui, Great Elder, my disciple is Ah Qi...
That day, that day, just when the disciples led the monster out of the woods, they met... trial disciples from other sects...
At the critical moment, the disciple, quick to wit, jumped into a rock ditch to collect his breath and hid...
When the monster saw disciples from other sects, it gave up its pursuit of the disciples.
Just like that, the disciple hid in the rock ditch for a day, and then groped for the route out of the valley, hiding and hiding before walking out of the Medicine Valley..."
Qiye saluted respectfully, and then narrated tremblingly, with a slightly stumbling tone.
When he came to the critical point, his voice choked up and he stopped, but his expression was still frightened, and the sense of trance about the rest of the life after a disaster was vividly displayed.
For ordinary people’s understanding:
How could an eight or nine-year-old child, no matter how strong his mind, remain calm after experiencing such a terrible thing?
Therefore, Qiye's frightened expression at this time made Situ Qingyang feel that it was very normal and reasonable, and he did not doubt the authenticity of his narrative.
Of course, Situ Qingyang also learned from other disciples afterwards:
At that time, it was Ah Qi who stepped forward alone and introduced the monster into the woods. It is unknown how he escaped from danger in the end.
Now, he couldn't find anything suspicious about the situation Qiye said.
After all, in the world of rivers and lakes, things like disasters diverting water to the east and golden cicadas escaping from their shells happen from time to time. This is also the method that many people will adopt when they have no other choice.
Therefore, Ah Qi's escape situation is also very possible.
And he didn't judge anything about this approach.
"Then have you clearly seen the appearance of the monster?"
Situ Qingyang continued to ask.
"The centipede is very big, black all over, and has many legs..."
Qiye pretended to reminisce and gave a general description, focusing on a few obvious characteristics of the monster.
It is difficult for people to observe carefully when they are in a panic. I am afraid that the great elder is verifying himself from the side.
"Well, the fact that you were able to escape by chance is indeed due to your good fortune. This time you stepped forward at a critical moment and not only saved the brothers, but also the deacons and elders of this hall.
This elder has decided to reward you heavily. Ah Qi, what reward do you want? "
Situ Qingyang smoothed his long beard with his hands and looked straight at Qiye.
Not a word was mentioned about Dantang's response decision after the incident or his apology for giving up the rescue, and he didn't ask any more questions.
In his eyes, Ah Qi is just an ordinary outer disciple.
However, Ah Qi saved everyone in the team after all.
Dantang's approach to this exemplary heroic act of saving lives should not be too chilling, and those who should be rewarded should be rewarded.
"Ah Qi doesn't dare to ask for any reward. Ah Qi feels very satisfied that he can sacrifice me alone to save everyone..."
Qiye Dayi said solemnly.
In fact, he also knew very well that if he hadn't saved everyone, he might not have been summoned by the great elder alone even if he came back successfully.
Moreover, if he is not strong enough and dies in the belly of the demon, Alchemy Hall will not remember him.
But now that he has returned from death, I believe that the great elder has to make some remarks.
In addition, the rewards given to outer disciples by the Alchemy Hall are nothing more than low-grade spiritual stones.
There are still millions of spiritual stones in his pocket, so there is no shortage of them.
However, when I think about it again, what I say has a different taste.
"No, merit must be rewarded! This elder will never treat any sect disciple badly!"
Elder Situ stretched out his hand to interrupt
Then he announced:
"Come here, I will reward outer disciple Ah Qi with 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
Qiye's heart moved slightly. It seemed that this great elder was not a stingy person.
Ordinary outer disciples only have 5 to 6 low-grade spiritual stones every month, and 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to more than 130 years of 'salary' for outer disciples.
If he didn't have millions of spirit stones before, these 10,000 spirit stones would be equivalent to a fortune.
But now, it’s just the icing on the cake.
However, something is better than nothing, and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future. Since the great elder insisted on a reward, he would just accept it.
The spiritual stones that sect disciples receive each month are basically used as 'universal currency' and are not used for cultivation.
After all, any place where a sect is established is always chosen in the Lingmai Mountain. There is a large sect formation to gather spiritual energy, so cultivation will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
"Ah Qi thanks the Great Elder!"
Although there was no real excitement in her heart, Qiye still pretended to be flattered and grateful, and quickly thanked her.
Beside the great elder, a disciple took out a talisman bag containing spiritual stones and handed it to Qiye.
Qiye took it with both hands, bent down and thanked him again and again.
At this time, a Dantong disciple hurried into the hall:
"Reporting to the great elder, the sect master has summoned us for an urgent matter!"
"Well, why is the sect leader so eager to summon you?"
After saying that, Situ Qingyang waved his hand towards Qiye, indicating to retreat.
"It seems like an urgent message came from Beishan Hongcheng..."
Qi Ye silently bowed and left. When he turned around, he heard the word "Beishan Hongcheng" and his expression was slightly startled. He couldn't help but realize:
As expected, the male tooth-burial centipede rushed out...
However, now that he has returned to his clan, he doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.
Then he walked out of the hall calmly...
Outside the hall, Ming Zishan was waiting here specially.
At this time, although his breath is still a little weak, he is full of energy. I believe that he will be back to his original state within ten days.
"The sect master has something to call upon the elders to discuss. Ah Qi, you go back and cultivate yourself first. I will come see you when I have time..."
Ming Zishan didn't ask the great elder about the content of his conversation, and just said a few words.
"Well, take care of yourself, elder. Ah Qi will leave now..."
When I returned to the clan, I saw that Elder Ming was safe and sound.
Qiye felt relieved and walked towards the back yam garden.
On the way back to Houyam Garden, Qiye walked very slowly, thinking over and over again in his mind:
There shouldn't be anything suspicious about your performance when you return to the sect, right?
Every word I said had been thought over countless times on the way back to the sect, so there should be no loopholes...
As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is going very smoothly, no one is embarrassment, no one is digging into the details.
The next step is to return to your hut in the back mountain and practice behind closed doors.
The strength is too weak and it is really difficult to move forward.
What's more, during this trial, Qiye understood his own life experience, and...
Suddenly he had to bear the hatred of genocide.
How can such an important task be achieved?
Just thinking about it made Qiye feel that the hardship was suffocating.
The joy and relief of returning to the clan disappeared in an instant. His heart felt like a mountain was weighing on him, and his whole temperament became cold.
As for what the sect leader and elders discussed, Qiye didn't care at all. In all likelihood, it was Beishan Hongcheng's request for help.
After all, the male centipede is much more powerful than the female centipede, and may be equivalent to the strength of "mid to late war spirit level".
The lord of Beishan Hongcheng, Beiliang Moxiong, only has the strength of "fourth level mid-term fighting spirit level", so he is naturally unable to resist.
However, Beishan Hongcheng is under the jurisdiction of the entire Baiyan City, so it will naturally apply to the sect for help.
As for the final discussion, Qiye, who returned to the sect, was too lazy to care about it. Someone would finish it anyway.
Everything ended smoothly, and he put aside the anxiety of a long road ahead for the time being. He was light-hearted and carefree, and happily returned to the back yam garden.
It feels like a long time has passed since I left for more than half a month. When I returned to the cabin again, I felt even more warm.
I didn’t want to do anything, so I just collapsed on the bed and had a good sleep first...
And while sleeping for seven nights...
Beishan Hongcheng, Beishan Medicine Valley
"Have all the letters for help been sent out?"
Beiliang Moxiong asked his subordinates eagerly
At this moment, his hair crown was crooked and his bun was messy, his face was as pale as snow, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.
The robe on his body was filthy, and the sharp sword with cold light in his hand had cut holes in both edges.
Even so, Beiliang Moxiong still stared coldly ahead with his eyes sullen, his knuckles cracking loudly.
If this continues, if reinforcements are delayed, Beishan Hongcheng will be destroyed by monsters.
How could he be willing to accept that the place where his life's hard work was based was destroyed like this...
Ever since the trial team reported that the fifth-level monsters and tooth-buried centipedes appeared in the outer valley, he urgently led the monks in the city with strength above the 'Tomahawk level' to form a defense army to guard outside the Medicine Valley day and night.
However, after waiting for a full seven or eight days, there was no sign of the monster. I thought that once the opening time of the Medicine Valley was up and the miasma closed the valley again, the Tooth Burial Centipede would not come out of the valley.
Unexpectedly, on the ninth day, with a deafening sharp roar, the fifth-level demonic beast Buried Tooth Centipede spit poisonous smoke from its mouth and rushed out of the Medicine Valley.
The resentment of the violent killing is still difficult for him to shake off.
A trace of bleakness could not help but arise in my heart:
The monster is about to massacre the city...
