Chapter 1892 Dark Sword
"Hey hey hey."
After Zhang Jingxu returned to the sect with a pair of mahjong, the disciples of Zhangjiamen had another hobby. They would gather in Zhang Jingxu's yard to play mahjong whenever they had free time. After all, the rules of mahjong are simple to say, but if you want to calculate The number of times is troublesome, so Zhang Jingxu still needs to be the referee.
Because of this mahjong game, Zhang Jingxu has established a good relationship with most of his junior brothers. At least they are willing to call him senior brother.
"But the mahjong you brought is also quite good. Although it seems to have a certain number, it appears to be ever-changing in the hands of players from all over the world. Even if you start with a bad hand, you can kill everyone in the end."
The old master smiled and said: "I have already asked a carpenter to make a new pair of mahjong, so after dinner today, you can play a few laps with me, or teach me how to play this mahjong."
Zhang Jingxu naturally nodded in agreement, because this was the best time to improve the old boss's favorability.
While Zhang Jingxu was chatting with the old master, the Hongjian Sect not far away was holding a selection competition to choose who would be the official disciple this year!
However, there is something special about the selection competition of Hongjianmen. That is, the selection competition consists of individual competition and team competition. The disciples participating in the two competitions need to add up their scores to get the final score!
Yes, although Hongjian Sect is just an ordinary third-rate sect, its founder once studied at Tianjian Villa, the number one sword sect in the world, for many years, so he created a set of simple but not simple methods. Sword array. . . Of course, this is actually "drawing inspiration" from Tianjian Villa's specialty - the Nine Heavens Sword Immortal Formation, and making certain modifications.
In short, the Hong Sword Sect's Hong Sword Formation is not as good as the previous ones but more than the inferior ones. It allows the three to nine disciples who form the sword formation to fight against enemies of the same level that are twice their size and ultimately win!
But having said that, because Ling Yi also joined the Hongjian Sect not long ago, although she is extremely talented and can compete with her senior brothers and sisters if she just fights alone, there is no way to do it out of thin air. Participate in team competitions with more than two partners.
There is no way, the senior brothers and sisters have already completed the team formation. After all, the sword formation still has high requirements for the tacit understanding between each other, because if the cooperation is not good, it will become a drag on each other, or even hurt each other.
As for the other disciples in the same class as Ling Yi, they have no intention of participating in this year's trial. After all, they are self-aware of their own abilities. What's more, this trial will use iron swords without blades as weapons, so this is It is equivalent to an iron ruler, so hitting the body with this thing is quite painful, and it may be injured.
So although Ling Yi wanted to get there in one step and directly become an official disciple of Hongjian Sect, there was really no way to participate in the team competition.
This made Ling Yi a little depressed.
As a player with a special mission at the beginning, Ling Yi faced the problem of choosing one of three from the beginning, that is, what kind of sect to join. Among them, the introduction of Hongjian Sect is "It seems ordinary, but it actually hides mysteries. ", because although the founder of Hongjian Sect is not very famous, he is still an official disciple of Tianjian Villa, and it is said that he is the best among his disciples. As a result, his performance after he became a disciple was very mediocre, even It can be said to be disappointing!
And even if you can't directly teach the skills of Tianjian Villa after setting up a separate sect, you can still make necessary "modifications" and use them as your own original skills. Therefore, when the Hongjian Sect was first established, others thought that this was at least It would be a second-rate sect, but it turns out to be a third-rate sect that can be seen everywhere.
Therefore, many people think that Hongjianmen should have hidden some secrets, which led to it becoming what it is now. . . In other words, Hongjian Sect is hiding its clumsiness!
The tip given by the Cthulhu Running Group game lobby also made Ling Yi certain that the founder of Hongjian Sect should have left some martial arts secrets about Tianjian Villa, so he could only become the chief disciple, or master enough skills. Only a certain reputation can trigger the opportunity to learn these martial arts secrets.
So Ling Yi gave up on the other two sects whose abilities might be more stable in terms of improvement, and chose the Hongjian Sect, which had a very low lower limit but also a very high upper limit.
Unexpectedly, the Hongjian Sect's method of selecting official disciples actually included a team competition, which made Ling Yi secretly say that he had been fooled.
However, when things came to this, Ling Yi could no longer leave Hongjian Sect and find another place, so he could only take the second way - to gain reputation.
Ever since, Ling Yi would continue to participate in the competition arena during this period and quickly gain reputation points through winning streaks.
As Ling Yi expected, his performance during this period made his master very satisfied, so he informed him that he could participate in the individual competition of the selection.
Although the focus is on participation, Ling Yi understands that this is the opportunity she wants. As long as she can get a relatively high ranking in the selection, it should be able to trigger the next plot.
Therefore, Ling Yi can be said to have made adequate preparations for today's competition. For example, he had inquired about his opponent's habits in advance to formulate a special response strategy. Therefore, he passed the first few rounds of competition without any danger. Even in the middle, there were several failed judgments.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi couldn't help but rub his shoulders, because in the last game, he changed his move to Iron Mountain and knocked his opponent away, but in the end he still received a solid blow.
"Ling Yi, you performed very well today, and you also know very well when you need to adapt. This makes me very happy."
Ling Yi's master, Luo Qin, who is also the third elder of Hongjian Sect, said with a smile: "The master is also deeply impressed by your performance this time, so although you have no way to become an official disciple this year, the master and I both want to give you some help. You have a chance."
Is it finally time to serve dinner?
Ling Yi suddenly became energetic and said seriously: "Although I don't know what kind of opportunity it is, I believe that master and the master will not harm me, so I am willing to accept the arrangement of the master and the master. "
Luo Qin nodded, took Ling Yi aside and said: "Actually, our Hongjian Sect has always been just a cover, because the founder of our Hongjian Sect - He Wei also created another sect, but this sect There is no application to the martial arts platform, so this sect is actually invisible."
Is there such an operation?
No, is this the legendary heresy?
Ling Yi knew that he had to show surprise at this time, because all the NPCs in this martial arts module knew that there was no sect that applied to the martial arts platform, and that would be a heretic at best, or a demon sect at worst!
This is not a good name.
So although Ling Yi was still calm inside, her face naturally showed panic.
But this made Luo Qin very satisfied, "I know what you are thinking, Ling Yi, and I also know that in the eyes of most people, our hidden sect may be a heretic, but I have to tell you a fact, that is, we This sect has been recognized and supported by Tianjian Villa, so it has been able to develop in secret! In fact, in addition to our Hongjian Sect, there are several sects that are the cover of this hidden sect."
After hearing this, Ling Yi finally understood what was going on.
If Luo Qin is not lying, then Tianjian Villa, as the world's number one sword sect, may have some ambitions, so it began to arrange some trustworthy disciples to open sects everywhere, but secretly they helped Tianjian Villa to establish Branch helms, of course, these branch helms are hidden in the dark, and there should be no connection between them.
"The reason why Tianjian Villa is the number one sword sect in the world today is all because of the merit of following the dragon! Therefore, Tianjian Villa has always had a close relationship with the new Dragon Emperor, so all this is actually the arrangement of the new Dragon Emperor. , after all, Ling Yi, you should also know that the new Dragon Emperor has been restricting various sects since he ascended the throne to prevent these sects from going against him; although Wutai can also have a restrictive effect, Wutai itself is also controlled by various sects. It was composed of members, so the New Dragon Emperor wanted to secretly organize a new martial arts platform, so Tianjian Villa chose to join."
As soon as Luo Qin finished speaking, Ling Yi received a new mission - the Dark Sword Platform.
What makes Ling Yi feel a little strange is that this task only has a title and no introduction.
But after thinking about it, Ling Yi also understood the reason for this, because the Dark Sword Platform itself is considered a secret organization. How can you know its specific situation if you don't join? And even if you have joined the Dark Sword Platform, the first mission you need to participate in must be generated on the spot. . . The most important thing is that Ling Yi can be sure that the tasks of the Dark Sword Platform will be 100% linked to other players.
The reason is very simple. There is no substantive punishment in this martial arts module, so for the players it is a question of how much reward they will receive. Therefore, there will definitely be some players who let themselves go and make some shocking moves, so It is very likely that it will attract the attention of the Dark Sword Platform.
Of course, even the normal operations of some players may attract the attention of the Dark Sword Platform, such as the alliance being created by Liu Xing and others.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi made a decisive choice, "Since I am serving the new Dragon Emperor, I will naturally do my best. And if my understanding is not wrong, I will be able to learn from it if I join this hidden sect. The superior martial arts of Tianjian Villa?"
Luo Qin nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, all newcomers who join the Dark Sword Platform can choose the martial arts of Tianjian Villa for practice, and every month they can get some pills that can help with practice. Finally, You can also get a set of sophisticated weapons and equipment! However, during this period of time, you still have to stay at Hongjianmen, and at the same time, you have to behave normally, and look for an opportunity to leave Hongjianmen later."
Ling Yi nodded in agreement, but what he was thinking about was to find an opportunity to get in touch with Zhang Jingxu and let him know about the existence of the Dark Sword Platform, because it was very important to the alliance.
As a result, Ling Yi "unfortunately lost" in the next round of competition, and was taken away by Luo Qin with a depressed and unwilling look.
As for Liu Xing, who is far away in Tianshui Town, he is still happily eating grilled fish with Ding Kun.
"If nothing else happens, we will prepare for the first round of attacks on the wine monkey tomorrow. Of course, this is mainly to determine how many monkey descendants the wine monkey has and what area they probably live in."
Ding Kun sighed and said: "As for the monkeys we captured, we can feel that they are indeed unwilling to be controlled by the alcoholic apes, but it is difficult to communicate effectively with them, so don't expect these monkeys to be able to Switching sides at the last minute; however, we suspect that those mandrills may be able to communicate more easily, because mandrills are much larger than monkeys, so it may be more difficult for orangutans to control them, or it may require a greater price to pay! Unfortunately for us No mandrills were caught this time.”
"It seems that the focus should be on fruit wine, and this should also be the innate skill of the wine ape?"
Liu Xing touched his chin and analyzed: "The production of wine is related to fermentation, and fermentation requires the participation of microorganisms, so I suspect that this wine gorilla may have brought some special microorganisms with him to be able to obtain the fruit wine he made by himself. Special effects, so we need to determine what such microorganisms are and how to preserve them. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to brew fruit wine by ourselves."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right? And this fruit wine may only have an effect on animals such as monkeys. Just like the iron worm can control the mantis to go to the water, but when it comes to us humans, it is just an ordinary parasite. So even if we can brew fruit wine, it doesn't seem to have much effect on us, right?" Ding Kun shook his head and said.
"No, no, no, there are many kinds of monkeys. Some of them are only about the size of your thumb. They are called dwarf marmosets? I remember it was mentioned in a novel that in ancient times, some people in the world would raise a kind of monkey that could A little monkey placed in a bamboo tube can pretend to be a kettle and carry it around openly; after this kind of little monkey has undergone special training, it can be equipped with a pair of special poison-quenching iron claws, so that it can The sneak attack was completed unknowingly, and even if someone discovered the wound after it was done, they would think it was caused by some kind of bat or snake."
Liu Xing said seriously: "If the effect of fruit wine is really related to body size, then we can indeed consider taming a few thumb monkeys. In this way, we will have one more trump card! You must know that even martial arts masters cannot You will definitely notice this little monkey.”
"I think I've heard this story somewhere, and I don't know if it's that kind of folklore, but we can indeed give it a try." Ding Kun nodded.
