Alchemy

Chapter 8 Innate Sword Wall

Cao Dayou never thought that Ding Yang bribed him to be the [Yijin Dan] he had always dreamed of. He finally calmed down from the initial excitement and excitement, but Cao Dayou was entangled for a moment.

First, he was scared by the Yijin Dan taken out by Ding Yang, and then his true qi, which had reached the bottleneck of [bone forging], suddenly showed signs of increasing, so Cao Dayou was also instantly lost in that ecstasy.

However, when he calmed down, Cao Dayou woke up, but this matter was very difficult.

You should know that the Iron Sword Gate is opened once every three years, and the sect also attaches great importance to it. It is never allowed to deceive. Once found, it is a severe punishment. Therefore, it was found that Gao Tianci was suspected of cheating. Even if he was a governor, he kicked them out without mercy.

He is just a small deacon. He is qualified to host a test this time, or he added 200 taels of silver to the rationed share accumulated for a year before he asked for it from the big deacon. He doesn't have the courage to fake Ding Yang in. In case he is found, he himself...

Cao Dayou couldn't help fighting a cold war, and a cool air came out of the back of his neck. But looking at Yijin Dan in his hand, this feeling of dilemma drove him crazy.

Ding Yang looked at Cao Dayou's appearance, and his heart was also sinking. He knew that this matter was not so easy to solve. It seems that we can only take retreat as progress, and the military is dangerous.

Ding Yang deliberately said, "Deacon, isn't this difficult to do? If the deacon is really embarrassed, then I won't force it, just this..." He pointed to the porcelain bottle in Cao Dayou's hand.

Cao Dayou suddenly hugged the porcelain bottle tightly in his arms, as if he were holding his own life, a posture of fighting with whoever wanted to take it away. Cao Dayou looked around and saw several teenagers who had passed the test standing in the distance, and the people around him did not notice them.

Cao Dayou gritted his teeth and whispered to Ding Yang, "That... Ding Yang, if you pass the test, it is impossible to become an outer disciple. Even if I let you pass, it will definitely be revealed." Do you think this is good? We still have some handymen in [Iron Sword Gate]. This year is not the time to recruit miscellaneous disciples, but I try my best to make you a handyman disciple.

Afraid that Ding Yang would feel dissatisfied, Cao Dayou quickly explained, "Although he is a chore disciple, he can also practice some basic skills of Iron Sword Gate. At that time, I will secretly give you some practice tips. When you practice the true qi, you can become a formal disciple of [Iron Sword Gate].

In fact, even the handyman disciple in [Iron Sword Gate] is not something that Cao Dayou, an ordinary deacon, can arrange at will. However, Cao Dayou secretly made up his mind that even if he gave all the property he had accumulated in the past ten years to the deacon, he would arrange Ding Yang in. As long as you can enter the ranks of [Yijinjing], you can immediately become an inner door deacon or a big deacon of the outer door, no matter how much the price is worth it.

Ding Yang quickly calculated that being a handyman disciple was obviously not his original intention. However, looking at Cao Dayou's appearance, there is almost no possibility that he will become a formal disciple. He also saw the situation of Gao Tianci and his son just now. Even Taishou can't cheat, let alone himself. It's better to be a handyman disciple according to Cao Dayou's arrangement, and then slowly look for opportunities after entering the [Iron Sword Gate].

In Cao Dayou's nervous eyes that were about to eat people, Ding Yang finally nodded. Cao Dayou almost fainted.

..................

Until the sunset, in the afternoon, the three-year apprenticeship test of [Iron Sword Gate] was finally over.

The crowd gathered outside the mountain gate gradually dispersed, and most people's faces showed a look of loss and depression, which formed a sharp contrast with a few jubilant faces mixed with them. No matter where they are, there are always a few winners.

A total of 52 teenagers have passed the test in this year's [Iron Sword Gate] apprentice ceremony, of which four will become inner disciples. This year, the number of female disciples is more than the previous two, with a total of five female disciples, and one of the female disciples also raised 120 catties of stone locks.

The five deacons in white surrounded Meng Tianhao like the moon and walked towards the mountain gate. Followed by fifty-two - ah, no, fifty-three teenagers.

Where there is a crowd, there is class. This sentence shows its correctness all the time. More than fifty teenagers who did not know each other in this short period of time have made a level difference.

The four teenagers who are about to become inner disciples stand out from each other, followed by four female disciples. The eight teenagers naturally got together and walked at the front of the line. The remaining 44 teenagers consciously fell behind half a step and slowly turned into two echelons.

Behind the brigade composed of two echelons, there was a figure following alone. It looks particularly eye-catching. It was Ding Yang, the only handyman disciple who was summoned in this year.

Ding Yang did not walk with the big team. It was specially instructed by Cao Dayou for fear of misunderstanding. Ding Yang didn't care either. He followed slowly so conspicuously, like the tail behind the mouse.

Within the mountain gate, there is a huge stone road, paved with a whole piece of blue stone. Along the Yong Road, huge bluestone statues continue to appear on both sides. The statues are made of a whole large bluestone and towering. There are various images of animals, such as dragons, tigers, unicorns, phoenixes, black turtles, white elephants, maned lions, camel dragons... The lines are thick and sharp, exuding a simple and powerful momentum.

Going further, it gradually becomes many figures and statues, with a variety of shapes and postures:

Some hold the pipa in their arms, some hold swords, some pythons around them, some hold pagodas in their hands, some have long eyebrows hanging on the ground, and some have third eyes on their foreheads... Those who are kind-looking, those who are angry, those who close their eyes of the underworld, and many characters are all powerful, like gods.

Walking through the Yong Road, a vast square flashed in front of you. The square is square, and each side is several miles away. The ground is paved with huge blue stone, which is extremely flat.

In the middle of the square stands a white boulder, up to more than ten feet.

The front of the boulder is a smooth surface like a mirror. A huge [jian] word is engraved on it. The words are square, and the strokes are domineering and crisscrossed, which seem to contain a mysterious rule. It's like a flying dragon roaring, and it's about to break through the wall, soaring clouds and driving up to the sky.

Before Meng Tianhao came to the sword wall, he looked respectful and bent down to salute. The five deacons also motioned the teenagers to bend down and bow with their eyes. The teenagers didn't know what they meant, but when they saw Meng Tianhao bowed and saluteed, they hurriedly bowed their heads and bent down to do so.

Meng Tianhao turned to the crowd and said respectfully, "This big stone is the first generation of creation of my [Iron Sword Gate] - the innate master [Iron Sword Ancestor] split in half with a sword, and engraved this word [jian] on the stone wall with the intention of a supreme sword. The word is three feet, six feet and five inches high and three feet, six feet and five inches wide. It contains the original naive intention of [Iron Sword Ancestor], including the reason of heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to your perception of true qi. However, everyone has only one chance to feel it, and the second time is useless.

"Well, all the disciples sit on the ground and stare at this [jian] word carefully. How much they can feel depends on your creation."

The teenagers all sat according to their words, and the four inner disciples and four female disciples still sat in the front. Ding Yang is still sitting at the end of the crowd. Fortunately, the stone wall was high enough and the words were big enough, which did not affect his sight.

At this time, the sun had completely set on the top of the mountain, and the sky was slightly dark. The teenagers opened their eyes wide and stared hard at the word [jian] for fear that they could not see it clearly. Many people's eyes are bigger than copper bells, but after staring for a long time, there is nothing unusual except for sore eyes and tears.

There are only a few teenagers who look calm, hold their breath, and their eyes flash, as if they really realized something.

Ding Yang sat at the end and looked at the word "jian" silently. This sword word was written in ancient grass, which seemed strange to Ding Yang. He has lived in Dingjia Village since he was a child, among the mountain people, and many people are illiterate. Ding Yang can understand some words, which was given to him by Ding Li's father Ding Changyong, but he can only read some commonly used words. In Ding Yang's eyes, the word [jian] on the stone wall is just a few crisscross lines.

At this time, in the square, Meng Tianhao and five deacons in white stood in front of the stone wall. Fifty-three teenagers sat cross-legged on the blue stone floor, surrounded by some ordinary disciples in blue.

These Qingyi disciples are all ordinary outer disciples of [Iron Sword Gate]. Their cultivation is mostly in [Perce Realm]. They have also had the experience of Shibi perception. At this time, they watched these teenagers doing the same thing as they were whispering beside them.

Suddenly, the face of the front teenager's face changed, from blue to white, from white to purple, from purple to black, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood.

The teenagers behind were in a commotion and there was a lot of discussion. The teenagers next to them turned a deaf ear and stared straight at the word [jian] on the stone wall.

Unexpectedly, when they saw someone spit blood, Meng Tianhao and the five deacons actually smiled, and Cao Dayou and several other deacons actually had a little envy on their faces.

"Look, look. I vomited blood!"

"Yes! This little guy's luck is really good...

"Well, it seems that a [marrow washing environment] has not run away. If not, it can still break through the innate...

"Don't think it's so beautiful. You think it's so easy to make, but you didn't see it...

"Oh! Look, those two have also reacted...

While these disciples in blue were talking about it, two teenagers were shaky, their faces were flushed and they were short of breath. After a while, the corners of their mouths also overflowed with blood, and their bodies fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at it. One was Fu Hongxue, who always had a cold face, and the other was the only female disciple among the inner disciples.

At this moment, a little red light suddenly flashed in Ding Yang's eyes sitting at the end.
