Chapter 16: Is This the Test in the Battle for the Holy Son? (Ask for Monthly Ticket)

…

Everything seemed to have quieted down.

Zhen Shicong was finally saved and raised his head with tears in his eyes.

In the warm spring breeze, a figure dressed in white, who looked like an immortal, was descending from the sky and slowly fell into the courtyard.

Her gentle brows, graceful demeanor, and calm and confident aura are really heartwarming.

Beside him were Master Zhangmai of Qinghuang Valley, Master Qingsong, Lu Wei, the prodigy of Qinghuang Valley, and two other middle-aged people who were not very familiar with him.

These people are naturally Wang Shouzhe and Zhenren Qingsong who were talking in Qinghuang Tower before.

Originally, Wang Shouzhe and others were having a meeting, but suddenly there was a big commotion here. How could they still sit still?

Master Qingsong will not talk about it. He is the master of Qinghuang Valley. As soon as Mr. Chun and Tao Hongyu woke up, he found out through the mutated Qingsong of his natal spiritual plant, so he naturally wanted to come and see the situation.

As Wang Lixian's master, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Lixian were soul-connected and connected with each other, so he naturally realized something was wrong immediately.

This was the scene just now.

Very good! Woohoo~~He is finally saved!

Zhen Shicong shed tears of excitement, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.

"Xian'er, what's going on?" Wang Shouzhe glanced at the messy Yongchun Garden and frowned unknowingly. This damage is really thorough.

"Dad... there are bad guys, Xian'er beats them up." Wang Lixian began to pretend to be innocent.

"Ning Xi, tell me." Wang Shouzhe waved his hand.

He didn't believe what Li Xian said at all. As this girl's mind gradually opened up, she became more and more naughty and troubled, and she became more and more uneasy.

He had only been away for a while and already he made so much noise.

"Grandpa." Wang Ningxi stepped forward and cupped her hands, "I don't blame my aunt for this."

He has a delicate character, and he explained the matter in an orderly manner at the moment. However, he still defended Wang Lixian in his words.

Wang Shouzhe frowned: "Although there is a reason, Li Xian may not have deliberately taken the opportunity to cause trouble, hoping to disrupt the class and avoid studying. This is also her usual trick. This trend cannot be allowed to rise, and must be punished."

After saying that, he raised his hand, and a long vine whip with poisonous barbs appeared in his hand. , This is the [Lixian's Special Punishment Whip] that Wang Shouzhe spent a lot of effort on, constantly improving, and specifically researching and catalyzing to target Wang Lixian.

There is a kind of poison in it that can directly hit the soul, even Li Xian will feel pain.

Wang Shouzhe had no choice. If he used an ordinary whip, even if he cut off his hand, Li Xian would feel no pain or itch, and he would still be smiling, which would not be a deterrent at all.

As soon as Wang Lixian saw this thing, the branches suddenly trembled.

It's over, it's over, daddy is angry!

"Grandpa, calm down." Wang Ningxi hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Auntie is actually quite serious about taking exams, but she is easily distracted by external things."

"Humph, this is her old problem. If this continues, when will she graduate?" Wang Shouzhe looked at Li Xian with an unkind expression, "Are you going to follow me, or do you want me to take action?"

"I, wuwu~ Daddy, I'm wrong, wuwu~ I will study hard, not be distracted, and stop making trouble." Wang Lixian sobbed, but still stepped away from the tree roots and followed obediently.

"Oh, you brat, you dare to teach Master Xianzhi a lesson?" Dachun was anxious and hurriedly stood in front of Li Xian, saying angrily, "You, you, you, if you dare to hit Master Xianzhi, I will fight with you. !”

"You are senior Dachun, right?" Wang Shouzhe said with a cold face and cupped his hands, "I respect you as a senior, but this is a junior's family matter. I beat my own daughter and it has nothing to do with senior."

Dachun hesitated.

He really couldn't get involved in someone's fair and just reason for beating his daughter.

While Da Chun was stunned, Wang Shouzhe had already picked up Wang Lixian and dragged him to a remote small room. Soon, Wang Lixian's screams, cries, and begging for mercy could be heard inside.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Order was restored in the classroom. In the yard, the potholes on the ground have been smoothed out, and the tables, chairs and benches have been put back in place. Wang Ningxi should give lectures, and everyone should answer questions.

Even Yao Chengchao and the mutated little green snake listened and studied honestly.

That guy Wang Shouzhe was so cruel. When he got angry, even Wang Lixian, who was so arrogant in front of outsiders, was managed to be submissive. Horrible, so terrible~

As for Zhen Shicong and Yu Nianyun, they could not escape.

Because Wang Lizi fully expressed to her fourth uncle their determination to "study" and "take refuge", Wang Shouzhe was quite pleased, so he made an exception and gave them two sets of tables and chairs, and two sets of test papers.

The two of them "smoothly" became part of the painful learning team.

The classroom is not far away.

With Master Qingsong as the host, several people set up the tea array again.

As for the number of people attending the tea party, it increased from five to seven. Da Chun and Tao Hongyu were among the list.

Among them, Dachun was extremely unfriendly to Wang Shouzhe, who glared at him. Tao Hongyu, on the other hand, looked at Wang Shouzhe up and down, looking very interested.

For a moment, the atmosphere was very delicate.

"Shou Zhe, let me introduce to you, these two are seniors 'Dachun' and senior 'Hongyu'." In order to avoid embarrassment, Master Qingsong skillfully smoothed things over, "Two seniors, this is Shouzhe , is the registered direct descendant of our Qinghuang lineage, and has just accepted the inheritance of the "Qinghuang True Dharma"."

Although Shouzhe's inheritance was bought with money, after all, he was of the same line as everyone else and trees, so he was naturally one of his own. Master Qingsong also treated him as his disciple and grandson.

"Shouzhe has met Mr. Chun, senior Hongyu." Wang Shouzhe formally greeted them, and every move he made was graceful and impressive.

"Huh! So you are also a junior from Qinghuang Valley." Dachun felt sorry for Li Xian and glared at Wang Shouzhe, "Xian'er is such a noble being, you, you, you, you actually did such a cruel thing to her!"

As he spoke, his whole body exploded with momentum, and a tyrannical pressure had enveloped Shouzhe.

The pressure is so vast and powerful that one can actually feel the passage of time. The cycle of plants from germination to fruition, from birth to death, makes people feel a sincere feeling of awe.

Wang Shouzhe said "Huh".

An ordinary strong person in the Purple Mansion Realm would probably turn pale when faced with the pressure of a strong person at the peak of the Divine Power Realm. However, Wang Shouzhe had to accept the "baptism" of Emperor Longchang's coercion from time to time at home. He was used to it, so he didn't feel much about it.

On the contrary, it was the particularity of Chun Lao's coercion that aroused his curiosity. Because he actually felt a trace of the rudiment of the law of time in it.

The law of time is a very rare and powerful law.

However, even if it involves the law of time, Chun Lao only has a superficial grasp of it. Otherwise, he would not be trapped at the top of the tenth level and find it difficult to advance.

If it is a spiritual plant that truly masters the path of time, it must at least be an immortal species.

"Hey, what are you doing, that old man?! Don't bully my daddy!" In class, Wang Lixian, who was immersed in studying questions, suddenly raised a branch and "glared" at Dachun angrily, " Otherwise I’m not done with you.”

Although she had just been severely beaten by her father, it was because she was at fault first. It is only natural for a father to teach his daughter a lesson, and it is also a manifestation of the father's love.

How can a daughter really blame her father?

"Okay, Miss Xian'er." Dachun's expression was stagnant, and she felt aggrieved.

He was venting his anger on Miss Xian'er again, but Miss Xian'er didn't appreciate it and even scolded him in return. He is really "Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror" - he is not a human being inside and outside.

It's a pity that no matter how wronged I am, Miss Xian'er's opinion is more important.

Da Chun reluctantly put away his pressure, but still glared at Wang Shouzhe angrily, as if "I don't care about you because of Miss Xian'er's face."

"Xian'er, concentrate on your studies." Wang Shouzhe scolded majestically, "Don't be distracted."

"Yes, daddy." Wang Lixian was frightened and hurriedly continued to concentrate on answering the questions.

Of course her father loves her very much, but he will never relax when it comes to study and education. She is so difficult~

Seeing this, Dachun was very angry again.

Our Miss Xian'er is so aggrieved and pitiful that she has such an unreasonable father.

Master Qingsong looked at it funny.

Dachun is a tenth-level spiritual plant, and the master who is at the peak of the magical power realm can't do anything against Wang Shouzhe, a monk in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

I have to say, this is really one thing that brings down another thing.

Tao Hongyu, on the other hand, although she also cares about Xianzhi, since Wang Shouzhe appeared, her attention has been diverted to Wang Shouzhe. Even the seats were specially chosen close to Wang Shouzhe.

She twitched her nose slightly, as if she smelled some special scent from Wang Shouzhe, and immediately smiled as charmingly as a peach: "It turns out he is one of us, no wonder the scent on his body is so kind and familiar. By the way, Shouzhe Zhe, do you have a natal spiritual plant?"

"Xian'er is my natal spiritual plant." Wang Shouzhe answered truthfully.

"Ah~ This is such a pity." Tao Hongyu's face was full of regret, and then she said shyly, "Then do you mind having one more... ordinary spiritual plant? My last master has passed away hundreds of years ago. A suitable new owner has never been found.”

At this point, she suddenly reacted and added: "By the way, let me introduce myself first. I am a spiritual red jade peach tree. As long as the environment is suitable, I can bloom once every thirty years and bloom once every thirty years." As a result, it matures in thirty years.”

"More than a hundred red jade spiritual peaches can be produced at one time. Each spiritual peach has the effect of healing wounds, replenishing qi and blood, slightly improving bloodline qualifications and longevity. It can be used at home or sold to the outside world. In a normal year, each red jade peach Lingtao can be sold for about three hundred thousand gold."

This red jade spiritual peach is very powerful~

Wang Shouzhe has quickly calculated that with this red jade peach tree, it is equivalent to an average output of 300,000 dry gold per year.

For the Wang family, three hundred thousand gold is indeed not a lot, but with an average annual output of three hundred thousand, this is actually a good fortune.

For an ordinary seventh-grade family, as long as they own such a red jade spiritual peach, even if their other industries are weak, they can gradually become stronger and gradually accumulate capital for upward promotion.

Moreover, as a ninth-level spiritual plant, no matter how weak it is in a fight, it is still a ninth-level plant. Even if a third-grade family owns such a red jade spiritual peach, it can be regarded as a clan spiritual plant.

Of course, you must first have an excellent spirit-gathering array environment in order to raise a ruby ​​peach tree. It is unlikely that an ordinary family will have such an environment, and the Wang family happens to have a very good large-scale spirit-gathering array. There is no problem in accommodating the Ruby Spirit Peach Tree.

Seeing Wang Shouzhe actually making serious plans there, Master Qingsong suddenly stopped laughing.

He said with fear: "Senior Hongyu, don't be like this. You are the Qinghuang Valley's pulse-suppressing spirit plant, how can you follow others at will."

"Shouzhe is not an outsider. Didn't he also practice the Qinghuang true method?" Tao Hongyu argued seriously.

"Having said that, Ke Shouzhe is the head of the family after all, and his finances and ownership are separate from our Qinghuang Valley." Master Qingsong said helplessly.

Previously, he had felt that Changchun Valley in Longzuo Academy was about to become Wang Shouzhe's. Now it seems that the situation is even worse than imagined. Is that guy Shouzhe here to dig out the Qinghuanggu family's wealth?

"Young man Qingsong, what you said is wrong." Dachun stroked his beard and criticized majestically, "We old guys have indeed followed the previous owners of Qinghuang Valley, and we remember the kindness of our former owners. , and the favorable environment provided by Qinghuang Valley, we stayed in Qinghuang Valley, but it does not mean that we will be sold to Qinghuang Valley for life. "

"What's more, we have been making contributions to the Qinghuang Valley with our natal magical power over the years. As for my magical power [Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits], how many elixirs, spirit grains, and fruits have been promoted by us? It’s a win-win result.”

"We promised our master that we would protect the Qinghuang Valley, but there is no reason to be kidnapped in the Qinghuang Valley for the rest of our lives. We are already free. If we want to leave, will we still be regarded as traitors?"

"Yes, Mr. Chun's lesson is right. Of course you have the freedom to leave. However, for the sake of the ancestors of the Qinghuang Valley... your boss can't just let go, right?" Master Qingsong was dripping with sweat from his forehead, and he was about to hold on. I can't help but be free and casual.

If Tao Hongyu were to leave, it would be a huge loss to Qinghuang Valley at best. But if Dachun leaves, half of the foundation of Qinghuang Valley will be lost.

"Don't worry, Qingsong boy." Dachun said, "I also know that it is not easy to establish a foundation in Qinghuang Valley, so I won't let it go casually. However, now that Miss Xian'er has been born, she has the ill-fate to follow an unreliable person. father."

As he said that, he couldn't help but glared at Wang Shouzhe again, and then continued: "There must be someone around the young lady to take care of her, otherwise I really don't worry. It's better to keep my body in the Qinghuang Valley, and my incarnation will stay in the Qinghuang Valley." Protect Miss Xian'er from growing up by her side. That's it."

"Old Chun, this is a good idea." Tao Hongyu also praised, "I will also leave my incarnation with Mr. Shouzhe, no, Miss Xian'er. I am best at cooking all kinds of ferocious beasts with spiritual plants. I guarantee that I can cook them Father and daughter have been raised well."

"This... is a good idea." Although Master Qingsong felt aggrieved in every possible way, the two senior Lingzhi mentioned this, and he also understood that there was no room for negotiation.

Forget it~ It’s just two clones that were abducted, it’s better than being abducted with the main body.

He forced a smile to express his agreement with Mr. Chun's idea. But in private, he cast an angry look at Wang Shouzhe.

This kid Shouzhe is a disaster~~ He just hollowed out the Changchun Valley, now he wants to hollow out the Qinghuang Valley?

All he wants now is that the battle for the Holy Son starts quickly and ends quickly, so that this kid Shouzhe can get out of here.

Wang Shouzhe was also speechless about the unexpected development of the incident.

He obviously didn't do anything, right? Why did Li Xian suddenly gain an "old servant" and a "full-time cook".

Soon, Yongchunyuan cram school changed into the following style.

Wang Lixian was writing the title vigorously.

Ochun, who considered himself a "guardian", stood beside her, holding a fan to fan her.

Regardless of whether she is hot or not, you still have to show her encouragement and support in studying.

Even though he had a strong opinion against Wang Shouzhe, he still felt that Miss Xian'er should study hard and strive to become an educated fairy tree.

After all, the more knowledge you have, the less likely you will be deceived.

There are some vague memories in his inherited memory. In the long past, some fairy trees suffered great losses at the hands of humans because they were ignorant and did not understand human knowledge.

Tao Hongyu, the full-time cook, cooked the snacks, mixed the juice and encouraged her: "Miss Xian'er, you must work hard. Let's strive to graduate from the Wang Clan School within thirty years."

"As the saying goes, 'Thirty years of hard work will lead to a hundred thousand years of benefit.' 'If you are not tired or tired, your studies will be tasteless. If you don't work hard, your life will be in vain." "An extra sweat today will result in a tenfold gain tomorrow." I I believe you can do it.”

Tao Hongyu has a smooth tongue, and she keeps making slogans that are full of chicken soup flavor.

While being served by the two trees, Wang Lixian struggled hard while using the tree root tentacles to roll up the snacks, juice, barbecue and other supplies around her from time to time, and ate them by absorbing them. Even the boring daily routine of answering questions became less painful. .

Wang Lizi and Lan Wan'er on the side looked at her eagerly, almost crying with greed.

Fortunately, Wang Lixian is a loyal tree and secretly used the branches to roll up some barbecue delicacies for them. In order to bribe the teacher and the teacher's wife, Wang Ningxi and Shangguan Lingbo also had their share.

As for the others...hehe~

Yao Chengchao, Little Green Snake, Zhen Shichao, Yu Nianyun: "..."

Writing questions is already very painful, why do they still have to torture them like this?

The days of hard work always fly by.

Months passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the joint urging of the other nine branches of the Holy Land, Jiang Zhencang, the contemporary Lord of the Holy Land, finally could not withstand the surging "public opinion" and officially announced the beginning of the grand battle for the Holy Son.

Soon, the members of the clan who were sharpening their swords gathered on the Lingyun Holy Mountain.

Lingyun Holy Mountain is a very majestic mountain peak, located near the center of the entire Lingyun Mountain Range. The top of the peak is covered with snow, and the waist of the peak is shrouded in spiritual mist. There are flying spiritual birds and the jade palace of the Immortal Palace is looming. It looks full of fairy spirit and has the spirit of a holy land of immortals.

Lingyun Temple is located at the top of Lingyun Holy Mountain.

Probably in order to take into account the public's aesthetics, compared with other branches that show their own magical powers and sometimes even look a little weird, the appearance of Lingyun Temple seems quite satisfactory. Apart from the word "immortal", there is nothing too surprising.

However, just the rich spiritual energy around the temple and the looming colorful glow behind the temple are enough to shock people.

Under the shroud of colorful rays of light, the entire laws of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn and became clear. It makes people feel as if they will have an epiphany the next moment.

It is said that this was the place where the founder of the Holy Land, Zhenjun Lingyun, retreated to enlightenment and broke through to the middle stage of Lingxu Realm.

It is said that the colorful glow was left by him back then.

It is said that those who have great opportunity and great understanding may be able to comprehend all kinds of great ways in this colorful ray of light, and with this, they can discern the secret of Lingxu and soar into the sky.

Of course, legends are just legends. Anyway, so far, no one has really understood anything from this glow.

After explaining a few words to guests such as Wang Shouzhe and Yao Chengchao who were watching the excitement, Jiang Zhencang took them directly to the trial hall.

The Trial Hall is located on the side of Lingyun Temple, in an inconspicuous side hall.

This side hall is closed all year round, and a strict formation is set up around it to prevent any prying eyes. It will only be opened during every battle for the Holy Land.

Because the last battle for the Holy Son has been more than three thousand years ago, and the old people from that time have passed away one by one, so that now, except for Jiang Zhencang, who is the master of the Holy Land, no one knows what it is like inside.

With the arrival of Jiang Zhencang, the formation outside the trial hall automatically opened.

Wang Shouzhe stood behind Jiang Zhencang and looked up.

You can see that the door of the Trial Hall is made of metal, showing a silvery white frosted texture. The surface of the gate is painted with mysterious and complex totem patterns using unknown green paint, and there are also complex inscriptions carved on it. It looks very retro and full of strong Shenwu Dynasty style.

Jiang Zhencang stretched out his hand and pressed it on the door of the trial hall. The surging profound energy poured in, and the complicated inscriptions on the door lit up one by one.

After a while, the dusty door slowly opened, revealing the true appearance inside.

Wang Shouzhe glanced over Jiang Zhencang's shoulder, and his whole body froze for a moment, with a rare expression of confusion.

Sleeping pod?

On the opposite side of the room, facing their direction, there was a row of metal cabins that resembled cocoons standing against the wall. That shape, that material, that structure, what is it if it's not the dormant cabin that often appears in science fiction novels?

What's going on with this strong sci-fi style?

Wang Shouzhe was stunned and couldn't help but look in other directions. He found that the entire trial hall was actually a square structure. On the left was a huge crystal curtain wall that occupied an entire wall, and on the right was a lecture hall like a lecture hall. The rows of metal seats look inexplicably like a movie theater.

Directly in front and against the walls to the left and right of the door are rows of sci-fi style sleeping pods.

This style of painting seems to be very wrong.

Wang Shouzhe had some ominous premonitions in his heart.

Except for Wang Shouzhe, the reactions of the other leaders and disciples were very normal.

Obviously, they were very unfamiliar with these "familiar" things from Shouzhe, and they seemed to find them very novel and shocking.

Jiang Zhencang glanced at the "sleeping cabins" with eyes full of "feelings", as if he was recalling the glorious years when he won the position of the Holy Son.

After a moment, he turned back, with a slightly proud expression on his face: "Everyone, these are the magical artifacts of the Shenwu Dynasty. The quasi-saints and quasi-saints who participated in the battle for the saints only need to lie down in those 'cocoon cabins' to realize their consciousness. You will enter another virtual world.”

"The flow of time there is different from that in the outside world, and the background can be set artificially. No bloodshed or complicated processes are required. War, power, harsh environment and other details can be simulated, and various test points can be artificially set. Let’s evaluate the abilities of the quasi-holy sons and quasi-saints in command, charm, opportunity, etc.”

"This is both an assessment and an exercise for them. Even in the Shenwu period, it is a weapon used to train and assess the combat capabilities of various officers."

Everyone else was inexplicably shocked and couldn't help but look at those things with an expression of admiration.

Never thought there was such a magical thing in this world? The Shenwu Dynasty is truly amazing.

Wang Shouzhe held his forehead, quite speechless.

as expected!

The source of the ominous premonition just now has become clear. Aren't these things the holographic game warehouses in the popular online game novels?

Is this the test in the battle for the Holy Son? Who is better at playing games? This is too childish! ?

Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but have a series of questioning questions in his heart.

"Isn't this... the complete set of equipment used by the Shenwu Dynasty to train and evaluate senior officers? I didn't expect that Lingyun Holy Land also has a set of equipment." Jiang Xingyuan, who had seen a lot, was also slightly shocked.

"This brother." Wang Shouzhe's heart moved and he raised his hands and asked, "Do you know the origin of these things?"

"Of course I know. Our Immortal Palace has also dug up the ruins of two training academies." Jiang Xingyuan was slightly proud. "Although those two ruins have been damaged in the war, a lot of documents were still dug out, as well as a set of documents placed in We in Immortal Palace are still using the spare military simulation training and assessment equipment in the underground warehouse. This thing is quite fun, but unfortunately it consumes too many Immortal Crystals each time it is opened, so you need to pay a huge price to participate."

"I see, thank you very much, brother." Wang Shouzhe saluted gratefully, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

It seemed that he, Wang Shouzhe, had underestimated this equipment. Although the style of painting is difficult to describe, if it is used well, it should be able to play some role when registering for the Military Academy in the future.

Otherwise, after the battle for the Holy Son is over, we can discuss it with Jiang Zhencang and see if we can borrow it for use?

At the same time, Jiang Zhencang frowned in confusion.

Strangely, he felt a little chilly behind his back.

He didn't know that Wang Shouzhe, who was only one meter away from him, was trying to figure out how to pluck the wool of the Holy Land, and in this moment, he had already figured out ten or eight plans.

…
