Years of ignorance of wine and dipped lips

Chapter 24 Tool Man Competition

It sounds quite ordinary, but it just increases experience by killing monsters.

I watched the last ray of light on the horizon annihilate into the earth, thinking that I could finally go back to standby, and just help Elder Xue carry the spirit stone away after the finals tomorrow morning.

Power freedom is just around the corner.

Before the wishful thinking was finished, something went wrong again.One of the participants in the finals had a relapse of an old injury, and is now being taken down to adjust his breath, apparently about to withdraw.

However, the competition system requires two people to be in a team. In this case, one person is doomed to go alone, and the result cannot be guaranteed to be fair.

"Why don't you choose the best one from the ones eliminated in the field? This is the most fair." Someone suggested, which was quickly agreed.

A chuckle suddenly came from above, and the sound of Lingling was like a string, causing the temperature to drop suddenly.The draft blows from the ground, and a thick layer of lottery paper is piled up on the ground, and thousands of trees and pear trees bloom.

"You don't have to worry, I already have a suitable replacement." The man in red slowly landed and stood in the center of the venue. true colors.

Unfortunately, his entire face was covered with gauze.

"Who is the substitute? Announce it soon."

The impatient has already started to urge, but Palace Master Bai didn't care at all. Instead, he asked the guards to bring over the wine cup, poured two glasses himself, and then said leisurely: "I think you all know that before I took over the Duye Palace , is a disciple of Wuyunzong Xigenfeng. As for Bai, he is very nostalgic."

One of the cups was spilled on the ground. He pointed sharply at the Wuyun Sect and said jokingly: "Every time I hear that Qigen Peak has been abandoned for several times, Bai is very sad. This cup of wine is to respect my teacher who has passed away. Respect."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Elder Yanzhen asked in a deep voice.

"Elder Yanzhen, you are an elder, so you should understand better than me—this respect for teachers is also a matter of seniority." He slowly approached Elder Xue, handed out the wine glass, and said lightly: "And this glass , Respect the new peak master of Gen Peak, Elder Xue."

Elder Xue coughed dryly, but didn't answer. "Misunderstanding, I'm just...temporary peak master, temporary."

"Elder Xue is modest." Palace Mistress Bai smiled, but the wine glass in her hand remained motionless, apparently she must drink it down.The fingertips under Elder Xue's sleeves trembled slightly, the teacup in front of him was still shallow, but the black tea was deep and bottomless.

This is a glass of poisoned wine, Elder Xue also guessed, so riding a tiger is hard to get off.

Threatening a person who is good at making poison with poisoned wine, how arrogant, and how sure of victory.

Before Palace Master Bai's patience ran out, I stepped forward to take the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Elder Xue helped me out before, now it's my turn.I understand the principle of equivalent exchange.Instead, he was taken aback and almost bit his tongue. "You, you are so bold, aren't you afraid of death?"

[No toxin detected]

"Didn't I say it? I won't die if you die." I smacked my lips, and the wine was not poisonous, but it was so bitter that I almost shed physical tears again.

I raised my neck and blinked, trying to hold back.

Jing Nian probably didn't see it, right?

Before I could find those familiar eyes in the crowd, Palace Master Bai asked, "Are you the new disciple of Feng Gen Peak?"

"Yes."

"In this way, you will be the next master of Xigen Peak."

"..."

Palace Master Bai's comprehension ability is not good enough.

I said that I would not die if Elder Xue died, but I was just stating objective facts, and I didn't mean to usurp the throne.

I was about to explain, but he suddenly sneered. "Are you worthy to be the master of Jigen Peak?"

He pronounced the word "Peak Lord" very emphatically, as if piercing his heart, but the last question was light and airy, and he was extremely disdainful.

Strange to say, although the white veil on his face was wrapped tightly, I seemed to glimpse the crazy, paranoid and almost morbid expression hidden under it.

The aura exuding from his body is so similar to what Jing Nian occasionally reveals, I can't help but want to stay away.

Could this be the "dirt" that Wang Xie referred to back then?

I didn't have time to check further, he had already turned to face the crowd and said:

"However, whether you are worthy of this matter - I am not the only one who is curious, so, in order to draw a conclusion, it is better to participate in this final, a few catties and a few taels, try it out, and you will see the result. What do you think?"

I never expected that the substitute he was talking about was actually me, and he borrowed a glass of wine to lure me into the trap.

I can't figure out the motive of Palace Master Bai.

Is it because I overheard the secret of the illegitimate child, or is it because he hates the old teacher so deeply that he vented it on me?

But if you really hate Gen Feng, how can you say I'm not worthy?It seems that I have defiled the word Peak Master.

It's too contradictory. My data is limited, and I can't understand such complex emotions for the time being.

The crowd also fell into a strange silence. After a long time, a young Taoist hesitated and said:

"As the number one sect in Tianyi City, the Wuyun Sect has undoubtedly produced a large number of talents. Everyone is also curious about the Xigen Peak that has been silent for more than ten years. But...but, this little fellow Taoist, no matter who you are, you can see that he has no cultivation skills. Because, and didn’t even participate in the previous rounds of competition, why—”

Warm red splashes around my feet, replacing his unfinished words.Palace Master Bai avoided the blood stain in disgust: "Since there is no objection, then it's settled."

The guards pushed me into the team without a doubt, and I looked back at the sect. The disciples who used to be slanderous were silent at this moment, fearing that they would end up like the young Taoist just now.Elder Yan Zhen said to Palace Master Bai with a dark face: "Bai Shaohan, if there is something wrong with our disciples, the Wuyun Sect will definitely not let you go!"

"What did you say? The purpose of the crossing industry conference is to communicate, not to sign life and death certificates. You all know that in recent years, the frequent occurrence of five yellow heavenly phenomena indicates that the world has changed and talents have come forth in large numbers. Isn't it a blessing for us?"

Only then did the atmosphere on the field come alive, and everyone continued to wave their flags and cheer for the finalists.

Only Elder Xue weakly made a cheering gesture to me, an outsider, and I nodded to him.

For me, the worst thing to do on this trip is shut down on low battery and let my teammate take me out of the jungle.

Of course, my practice is low, and it stands to reason that no one would want to be held back.I can only look at Jing Nian expectantly, he should choose me, right?Otherwise, why do you say "I am his sword"?

A sword is a tool, and so am I, and a better tool.

However, he chose Bai Shuang.

Why do tool people fight with me?

Looking sadly at the names on the list, the word Bai Shuang followed Jing Nian, and I felt that I was cheated by Jing Nian again.

Obviously three days ago, I was so eager to ask who cut my wound, but now I am talking and laughing with the murderer.

I patted No. 2's head in frustration. "No. 1 is really not a good piece of rubbish, it's still yours."

Bai Shuang's cultivation level is much higher than mine, and he may also be the young master of Duye Palace. Compared with a bionic person with unknown background like me, Jing Nian is so shrewd, so he must be more useful.

"They have all set off, Junior Brother Qi, let's go too." Qin Yuyu passed by me and said calmly.

"Senior Brother Yu, are you...willing to be with me?" I realized later, and happily said, "I will try my best not to hold you back."

"I've never felt that way before." He smiled at me unskillfully, with cold brows and eyes. "On the contrary, I think Junior Brother Qi is unruffled and courageous. Thank you for helping Senior Uncle Xue just now."

"Oh... easy work."

The race schedule was carried out in an orderly manner. Everyone entered the dense forest one after another and listened to the description of the rules. I thought that it would be enough to pass through the customs one by one according to the established route.

Unexpectedly, when I was actually in it, I realized that it was not as simple as I thought.

This mountain forest is simply a maze!

The night is dark, the swamps are dense, and the vines dance like snakes and pythons, blending into the intertwined and winding mountain roads. The strange sounds are endless, and the source is unpredictable. It seems that if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the mountains.Qin Yuyu told me that there are monsters hidden deep in the miasma, which need to be avoided.

I asked, "Didn't you say you have to subdue them to pass?"

"Well, I'll explore the way, wait until it's safer, and then go over." Qin Yuyu looked solemn, holding a sword and swiping a golden light, the phoenix's cry was clearer and louder, splitting the visible and intangible miasma.

There was nowhere to hide from the evil spirits, and the path hidden in the night was illuminated. I stepped on it and praised from the bottom of my heart: "It's amazing."

"It's nothing, as long as you practice hard, with time, Junior Brother Qi can do it too."

A basin of cold water was poured over my head, and my joyful mood collapsed again. "Senior Brother Yu, thank you, but don't open your eyes and talk nonsense."

Qin Yuyu was a little embarrassed for a while, his eyes wandered, and it took him a long time to make up his mind and said: "You are on good terms with Junior Brother Jing. He didn't choose you this time. I think you are a little disappointed."

"I'm not disappointed, I didn't want to participate in this kind of crossing industry conference." I denied one after another, "Don't comfort me."

As the crystallization of the most cutting-edge technology in the 31st century, I will never doubt my own value easily. If I don't need me in Jingnian, there are many people who want to use me.

Just leave this comprehension world where heroes are useless.

"So that's how it is." He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I actually admire you for being so firm. There are many gossips in the sect, but Junior Brother Qi seems completely unmoved."

"What is there to admire at the end of the crane?"

"I don't know how to say it, but I am very envious." In a panic, he accidentally dropped the jade bird to the ground, blushed hurriedly, and gestured frantically.

I became curious, looked at his appearance, and said: "To be honest, Senior Brother Yu, sometimes I think you look like a little girl."

Delicate in mind, easy to shy, completely different from the appearance of a swordsman.

Could it be because of staying with the virgin puppets for a long time?It's too mysterious.

He was stunned for a second, and then said calmly: "Yes, Master also said that my temperament is hard to make big things happen."

"No matter what he says, you didn't make it for him, he has no right to judge you." After I blurted out, I realized that I had made a slip of the tongue, and was about to make up for it, but he seemed to be triggered by my words, and said seriously: "As Junior Brother Qi said, I will think about it carefully."

"……whatever."

Under the escort of Qin Shuyu, the journey was almost unimpeded, but, after countless times of eliminating the evil spirits, the end of the road was still not visible.

Qin Syuyu pinched the sword spirit who was faintly restless with his fingers, and said: "The wind goes east, and the miasma flows in the opposite direction, which is unusual."

I nod. "And after walking for so long, I didn't meet any other contestants."

It stands to reason that all the contestants did not deliberately disperse, and Qin Shuyu's sword spirit is so strong, someone should be attracted.

Could it be that Jing Nian and the others have already walked out of the mountains?

At this time, a black figure suddenly appeared in the grass behind Qin Yuyu.
