I will bury the gods

Chapter 102 Seventh Day

Long-tailed white sparrows came from outside the city, fluttered their wings and flew into the autumn sky, and their loud and clear cries sounded at this dawn.

Xiaoyu is holding a flower pot of fairy radish, wearing a sword coat with cotton, looking back from the sword flat, the drum-holding stone between the door and the couplet, the painted sculpture on the roof ridge, or the sword tower supported by countless details, they They all have a painting-like texture in the autumn light.

The sky was blue and cloudless, and it was a clear, normal day.

Many years later, Xiaoyu will still recall this day.

According to the usual practice, the monthly test should have been held on Jianping, but this year, due to the death of the Lord of Shenshou Mountain and the large number of visitors, the small Jianping lacked ostentation. The family deliberately moved the venue to a more open place in the north. There used to be a place where a great immortal preached, and now it has been preserved as a ruin. From there, you can see a mountain-like wall.

Xiaoyu walked with the rest of the disciples. She was wearing a white sword suit with a black belt and carried a wooden sword on her back. She looked heroic at such a young age. Fox' four characters.

It took her two hours to carve these four characters.There is no way around this, she has poor handwriting since she was a child, in order to solve this problem, her method is not to practice handwriting hard, but to write more sloppy handwriting, pretending that she is creating a special kind of writing, rather than incompetent Write it well.

All laziness comes at a price. This time she practiced hard for a long time before she dared to use the knife, but she still accidentally wrote "孤" as "狐".

She folded her arms around her chest and looked at the sky proudly, and she couldn't help but think of Master again.

She is going to compete today, and she probably won't have the chance to go back to the Little Sword Tower. Thinking that today is another day when she won't see her master, she can't help but feel disappointed.

But although the master couldn't see it, he brought Xiaoxian Luobo himself. This is like prenatal education for Xiaoxianluo, and he must let him see his majesty from an early age!
Xiaoyu gently stroked the fairy leaves in her arms, and smiled happily.

Hey, I don't know what Master is doing now, whether he is cultivating, whether he has fed the cat, whether he has been bullied by the bad Son, whether he is... worried about himself.

As she was thinking wildly like this, the majestic and majestic wall suddenly crashed into her field of vision.

Although it was not the first time Xiaoyu saw her, she would still be deeply shocked every time she saw it.I don't know how much manpower and material resources this man-made city wall was built with rammed earth. It stands here and has survived wind and rain for thousands of years. Both mortals and practitioners have deep admiration for it, and even have a There is a very broad saying: the city wall is the Minggu god who protects the human race, and it is a holy object at the same level as Pale and Origin.

Xiaoyu also deeply agrees with this statement.

So she couldn't understand why so many people ran outside the city wall.

Under the leadership of her husband, she and other disciples came to this open ruins that had been abandoned for a long time. A wooden platform and a big drum were set up on the ruins, and the surroundings were full of people. These people were all cultivators. Among them are sword immortals who killed dragon corpses, geniuses who understood the stele of heaven, goddesses with ten swords on their backs, and youths with a unique knowledge... Most of them come from fairy mountains, and they are all well-known.

Of course, these cultivators who came back from Shenshou Mountain to attend the funeral gathered here, they couldn't just come to watch a group of young children compete, they really came to meet Xiaoyu's parents.

The human-god realm is almost the peak combat power of human monks. Such a pair of Taoist couples are rare in the whole world of cultivation. The former mountain master is dead, and their status will only increase in the future. They will not be truly detached, they are still humane.

Xiaoyu, on the other hand, did not have the slightest awareness of being watched by thousands of eyes. She was approaching the competition field, and she felt inexplicably nervous even though she was full of confidence.

Although she had a famous teacher to guide her and practiced diligently these days, she was working behind closed doors and had never actually fought, so she would inevitably feel flustered. She was stabilizing her mood when Chu Miao came over at an inopportune time.

"They all came to see you." Chu Miao said without much emotion.

"Look at me?" Xiaoyu was a little surprised, looked left and right, and said, "What are you looking at me for? I'm not a rare animal in the zoo."

Chu Miao was envious of the family background of the young girl in front of her, but it was obvious that this young girl in the midst of blessings was not only ignorant of blessings, but also stupid.

Being seven years old and still acting like a child... Chu Miao was even more disdainful.

Because she experienced disasters and displacement when she was young, she is much more mature than her peers. In her eyes, Xiaoyu is a younger sister who is much younger than herself.

"You have to be more careful later, even if you are pretending, you have to put it on. If you really can't do it, you can give your opponent a few winks, we can all understand." Chu Miao sighed, and said earnestly: "My lord, take us in , please also teach us martial arts, sir, we are grateful and dare not forget, so... I don't want them to be ashamed because of you, do you... understand?"

"I……"

Xiaoyu couldn't help feeling ashamed when she thought of the past when they deliberately let her pass the monthly test. She puffed her face and said, "Don't talk to me like an elder, I don't need you to pity me!"

Xiaoyu's words were full of pride and self-willedness. Seeing her like this, Chu Miao didn't bother to say anything, but said coldly:
"I hope so."

"What's your attitude?" The little tone was serious, and he also said harshly: "You will surrender later, I will beat you for a while!"

"Then you should surrender quickly, I dare not beat you." Chu Miao didn't care about her anger.

"you……"

Xiaoyu was so angry that her chest felt tight, she could feel Chu Miao's gaze, full of pride and self-confidence, behind it was an indisputable contempt that couldn't be concealed, and what made her most angry was that when she looked around, she found that there was something wrong with her. The younger disciples cast their eyes here, their eyes were similar to Chu Miao's.

In the past, Xiaoyu had her own unique inner world. She seldom observed the people and things around her, and only grew up under the protection of her parents. After meeting her master, she seemed to be suddenly enlightened and became sensitive. It is much more delicate, and many emotions that were not noticed in the past are now clearly visible in her eyes.

No one would care about children's awkwardness, although many cultivators cast their gazes here, they just smiled.

This monthly test was full of spectacles, but the process was not special. It was still the same as usual. The only thing that was more involved was that there were special rewards for this monthly test.

When Niangqin was about to give an opening speech on stage, Xiaoyu carried a wooden sword on her back, and walked up to the competition stage with a flower pot in full view.

The mother was a little surprised, not knowing what her daughter was going to do.

I saw Xiaoyu with one hand on his hips, and one hand stretched out his finger, pointing at the disciple who was about to compete with him, and said loudly: "You...and you all, listen to me! Don't let me wait for the competition, understand? ? I'm not afraid of losing, I'm just afraid... winning won't be honorable enough!"

This scene happened suddenly, and everyone's eyes were focused on her. Originally, several immortals pointed at the group of disciples, discussing who is the daughter of the two people in the god realm, but now the answer is obvious.

Chu Miao's cheeks were slightly red.Her blush was because of Xiaoyu, and she only felt...embarrassed by Xiaoyu's majestic words.The rest of the disciples are probably the same.

Xiaoyu didn't feel it at all, she came to the stage aggressively, and then stepped off the stage aggressively, ignoring all the weird eyes.

The mother and father looked at each other and smiled helplessly. After the daughter stepped down from the stage, this young and eternal woman stepped onto the stage with a green skirt and introduced the rules of the monthly test in person.

The rules of the monthly test are extremely simple, so simple that there is nothing to introduce, it is just a continuous cycle of competition and drawing lots, and finally the winner is determined.

Although competitions are commonplace in the world of comprehension, most sects are still very cautious about holding competitions. There is no other reason, but the memory of comprehension practitioners is really good, and the disastrous defeat in the competition when they were young is likely to become a reality. The shadows of a lifetime can't be forgotten, can't be thought about, and eventually turned into demons, becoming an insurmountable wall on the road of cultivation.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and many top monks have also grown up in the struggle between victory and defeat.

After the girl in the green skirt introduced the rules, she introduced the prizes this time. Everyone thought it was some kind of elixir, magic weapon, or weapon, but when the girl took it out of the white letter bag, many casual eyes immediately Condensed over.

The woman's clear voice resounded in the ruins, clear and gentle. When she opened her mouth, what she said was a past event that had caused an uproar:
"A hundred years ago, I traveled through the wilderness with ten monks from Shenshou Mountain and went to the celestial pole. I think everyone has heard about it."

More than heard...

This matter was originally kept secret. It was not until ten years ago that Shenshou Mountain finally made the experience of going to the celestial pole a hundred years ago public. In the ice, I glimpsed the details of that adventure that year.

Six of the ten travelers died that year, and two of the remaining four became insane after returning and fell into madness... Xiaoyu's parents were the only survivors.

Therefore, there are also many rumors that besides those frozen things, they also hide other shocking secrets, but the specifics may only be known by this couple, and it may become an eternal secret.

"Back then we found creatures that had been frozen for unknown years in the polar ice sheets, and we also found some relatively insignificant things, such as..."

The woman in the green skirt opened the envelope and took out a small green ball, "For example, this seed."

……

Although the woman in the green skirt said the word 'insignificant', it was more like a means of suppressing before promoting. Her next words deeply shocked many people:

"There is a sacred tree in the world, named Fusang. There is a saying in ancient books. Fusang is two thousand feet long and two thousand in circumference. It goes up to the sky and connects to three springs. It has never decayed until a million years ago when it was gnawed by the pale king. , and finally died..."

The woman in the green skirt changed the topic, and there was a slight smile in her slow tone, "But the god tree is also a god, so how could it die so easily? According to legend, it bloomed and set seeds overnight before dying, and spread into the world, but when it meets a big glacier, everyone dies." Buried in ice and snow, there is no soil to take root. And the one we found..."

She pursed her lips and smiled, glanced around, and continued:

"And this tree is very likely to be one of the seeds of the Shenmu."

The seed of the god tree?

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

They thought that the origin of this thing would be very big, but they never thought that it would be so big!

However, Fusang is only a legendary sacred tree in the final analysis. No one has ever seen it with their own eyes, so this statement is more like a gimmick, but no matter what its origin is, it can be treasured and preserved by them. The raw materials of many miraculous medicines were cultivated from the polar frozen seeds they brought back.

Such a fetish of origin should be used as a reward for a childish test...

Childhood exams are just child's play, and what they did...wasn't it too much of a child's play?Or do they firmly believe that their daughter can win?
But those who knew the inside story knew that the Xiaoyu who came to the stage earlier did not inherit the strength of his parents at all, but was just a mischievous and willful young lady.

But doubts are doubts. The monks present all respected their identities, and most of them did not show any shock, as if they were conducting a calm competition.

The seed... Xiaoyu was also taken aback, and saw that the seed was about the size of a fingernail, and it looked like a tree species. She quickly picked up the flowerpot with both hands, looked at Xianluo, and promised: "Xiaobai, don't worry!" Well, even if I have a whole forest in the future, you will still be my only one!"

She was talking as if no one was around, but there was no one around, and the other disciples all cast strange, foolish looks, as if they were mourning for the misfortune of the palace lord's family.

After the girl in the green skirt introduced the rewards, the monthly test finally began.

This monthly test is a postponement of the previous one, so in the first round, Xiaoyu directly competes with another boy in the last unfinished test.

In Xiaoyu's heart, the loss of the last competition is still vivid in his memory, as if it was a few days ago.

With the sword on her back, Xiaoyu walked up to the competition stage with her chest up and her head up, but she was also worried.Her opponent also came up, the boy was only eight or nine years old, he was immature and a bit naive, but his swordsmanship was not weak at all. In the last competition, Xiaoyu was once beaten by the opponent's swordsmanship. , almost fell off the competition ring.

Xiaoyu and the young man took out the wooden swords, held the hilts in both hands, the tip of the sword drooped, bowed and saluted each other, and then opened up the battle, each posing in a posture.

Most of the people present were here for Xiaoyu, so no one hoped that the competition about her would end so quickly, but many people are clear about Xiaoyu's strength. Although her current posture is correct and beautiful, it is only It's just a show.

Xiaoyu's father was ready to comfort his daughter later, but her mother always smiled peacefully after she was seated, not worried at all.

The drums sounded and the competition began.

Xiaoyu was a little nervous at first, but the sound of the drum made her mind slightly blank. Although she maintained her posture, she couldn't remember the sword skills she had practiced in the past few days. She was very anxious. But she only thought that she was the first to attack with the sword.

Xiaoyu hastily resisted, but the first move was at a disadvantage, and he was forced to take half a step back.

Those who had some expectations for her were also disappointed by this move.

She wants to stop and give herself time to adjust, but the opponent is an enemy, and she will only take advantage of the victory to pursue, how can she let her breathe?
The boy's true energy sank, his figure was swift, and the wooden sword stabbed straight, but because of the speed, it curved like a whip shadow. The curved and straight sword stabbed one after another, Xiaoyu retreated step by step, trying to think back to the past. What I have learned in a few days is not what I want.

Seeing that she was forced to the side of the martial arts arena and was on the verge of defeat, Xiaoyu was eager to gain wisdom, and pointed to her lips, and the blue fingers pinched each other, as if holding a magic talisman and jade seal, she drank the mantra: "Definitely!"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, but was frightened by the momentum, and his movements froze.

Xiaoyu took advantage of the slowness of the opponent's attack and began to counterattack. Her counterattack method was very simple-to perform all the sword skills she remembered in order.

This method worked, and soon, the opponent was dragged into her rhythm, tired of parrying, but faintly lost!This gave Xiaoyu a lot of confidence. Her movements became faster and faster, and her moves became more and more fierce. Everything she learned naturally came back to her mind and became a part of her body.

When Xiaoyu came to the eighth pose, the opponent finally couldn't resist. He was hit on the wrist, and his hand loosened in pain. The sword fell to the ground and was stepped on by Xiaoyu with her soft-soled pear flower shoes. She kicked the hilt of the sword, Kicked the sword directly off the competition stage!
Victory or defeat.

Xiaoyu wanted to say some cruel words, but she remembered the master's demeanor that her master had said, so she closed her pink lips after saying a word of acceptance, snorted and left the stage with her braids swung.

This battle shocked many people. The surprise was not because of her sword skills, but because of her sudden word "fix". Habitual offender.

"Extraordinary tricks, it's not far away." Chu Miao stared at Xiao Yu who was leaving the stage, and shook her head, still not taking it seriously.

Xiaoyu didn't bother to talk to her, she ignored the surprised eyes of most of the disciples, sat aside holding the wooden sword, just staring at the words on the sword, she wished she could run back to the sword building immediately, and share the joy of winning with her master .

The competition was still going on, and in the next three rounds, Chu Miao played the most brilliantly.

These children were carefully selected by the family with a lot of thought. Everyone has good aptitude, and each of them may be a future immortal, but even among these people, Chu Miao still stands out from the crowd.

She showed exquisite swordsmanship and calm sword heart at a young age. From the fluttering white dress, one can vaguely see the cold-faced demeanor of a fairy in a white skirt holding a long sword in the future.

A well-known swordsmith even took the initiative to find Xiaoyu's parents and inquired about accepting apprentices.

There are also many lists in the holy mountain, among them is the list of weapons, some people who are good at it dig up all the ancient magic weapons, and rank the well-known fairy soldiers from ancient times to the present. Among the top ten fairy soldiers, this swordsmith Master's works accounted for two.

This swordsmith has a special habit. Instead of forging swords first and then selling them, he does the opposite. He must first find a suitable sword owner, and then tailor a sword for him.

This world-renowned swordsmith has traveled the world for more than 30 years, but he hasn't opened a furnace for [-] years. Now he plans to forge a sword for a child who is only seven years old!

Receiving this great favor, Chu Miao was terrified, and she, who was always prudent, was too frightened to speak, and could only listen to the palace lord's arrangement.

The Palace Master neither agreed nor refused, but let the competition continue first.

The second round of lottery ceremony started soon, unexpectedly, in the next competition, Chu Miao and Xiaoyu were directly divided into a group.

Xiaoyu just performed well. If she was lucky in the lottery, she might be able to enter the decisive battle. But obviously, luck was not on her side. When Chu Miao was drawn, it also meant that her monthly test would soon be over. .

"Are you ready?" Chu Miao suppressed the excitement of being appreciated by the swordsmith, and her expression returned to calm.

Xiaoyu hummed, embraced the wooden sword, and went to the competition stage.

Chu Miao also walked over without haste, her steps were straight, her eyes were clear and noble, as if she was the young lady of the family.

Chu Miao prepared to fight, everyone also looked at them with great interest, waiting for the show to start, but at this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly raised a palm, indicating that she had something to say.

"You don't mean to surrender without a fight, do you?" This was Chu Miao's first reaction.

But she soon realized that this young lady was eccentric, and she must be playing some kind of conspiracy.

"I don't think you are worthy of my real strength." The words were surprising.

"What did you say?" Chu Miao felt that she had heard wrong.

Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear to her rhetorical question, and she said to herself: "In the next competition, I will not attack, but only defend. If I can't beat you within ten moves, I will take the initiative to admit defeat, how about it?"

"Don't attack, just defend... win me?" Chu Miao felt that she could understand every word, but she didn't know what it meant when they were linked together.

No matter how good the defense is, it can only make people invincible, relying on defense to win... This, how is this possible?

"Are you crazy?" Chu Miao couldn't help but she covered her lips immediately after she finished speaking, she knew that as a servant, she shouldn't say such things to the little Palace Master.

Xiaoyu didn't care about her disrespect, just asked: "What do you think?"

Chu Miao Bingxue was smart, and quickly figured out the opponent's intentions - Xiaoyu chose to defend with ten moves. If she could defend, although she could not win, she looked like a glorious loser. If she couldn't defend, then she would only lose ten Those who recruited at least avoided the situation of being repeatedly humiliated by themselves.

I have to say that the young lady never disappoints when it comes to playing tricks.

But so what?The journey of cultivating the Tao is long, and her temporary cleverness may be praised by others and spoiled by her parents, but one day she must step out of the warm wings of her parents and face the cruelty of the world. when down.

"I agree."

Chu Miao agreed.

She didn't want to disrespect the young lady, but she felt even more contemptuous of these pampered high-door young ladies in her heart.
