fairy cage

Chapter 230
An inexplicable voice sounded, causing an uproar immediately above the altar of the celestial talisman. Everyone spoke to each other, even Taoists who had no idea what the "survival assessment" was like, immediately understood it, and their faces changed drastically.

More than half of the people had expressions of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.

And immediately, a Taoist hurriedly packed up his things, and shouted at the people next to him: "Let's go, let's go! Let the poor Daoist excuse me."

They set off in no other direction than under the altar of the fairy talisman.

Dao Palace's assessment is not just a registration, you must participate, and you can also skip the examination directly.It's just that any Taoist has only three chances to skip the exam in his life. No matter what the reason, if he fails to register three times, he will miss the Taoist Palace.

The first batch of Taoist priests who set out fell clearly among the applicants.

And the voice that resounded in everyone's minds stopped after reciting three times, as if it was specially waiting for the unsteady Taoist on the altar to retreat.

Yu Lie fell among them, and noticed with sharp eyes that the first batch of people who retreated were basically older, especially including all the Taoists who had been yelling at the altar to do business.

Obviously, this group of people who came to participate in the Dao Palace assessment did not have much confidence at all. Now when they heard that the assessment was difficult, they all retreated.

Under the influence of this group of Taoists, the young Taoists on the altar showed great surprise and suspicion, and some of them retreated timidly.The number of Taoists on the entire altar disappeared by [-]% in an instant!

The altar, which was still somewhat crowded, suddenly became a little looser, and everyone could breathe.

It's just that everyone is not in the mood to care about this right now.When the people who were supposed to leave had almost left, the noisy scene became a little calmer, and a Taoist at the scene calmed down and shouted loudly:

"Dare to ask the palace, which side is the foreign world that you have experienced this time?"

"Also ask the Taoist Palace to tell me where to wait for the experience!"

Quite a few Taoists fell into the crowd, all like roosters, screaming loudly.

The reason for this is also because on the entire altar of immortals, except for the Taoists who they refer to, there are no other Taoists present, and no one can ask.

The ghosts and gods used to maintain order outside the altar are just like stone puppets, standing still with their eyes closed, hanging far outside the altar.

The voices on the scene are getting louder, and Yu Lie himself is also curious about the foreign world that this round of assessment will go to.

If the selected foreign world is really dangerous, he would rather give up the opportunity of this assessment and save his life.

"Sister-in-law is right. Although the assessment is important, life is more important. Even if there is a signboard guarantee from the Taoist Palace, if there is a mistake in the assessment, there is no way to regret it."

Yu Lie calmly sorted it out in his heart: "Besides, even if the loss rate of an assessment is not high, it is controlled below [-]%. Just because a person can not die, it doesn't mean that there will be no sequelae."

This is something that Yu Lie gradually realized and was extremely suspicious of after being reminded by his sister-in-law Luo Sen.

It should be noted that before becoming a sixth-rank Taoist priest, no matter whether it is the body or the soul of a Taoist, it is easy to damage it.Even if the immortal way is weird and there are many thaumaturgies, if there is a congenital limb defect, it is difficult to repair, and it will add a lot of twists and turns to the way.

That female Taoist Miaomu is a typical example.

The other party just broke her arm, which damaged her potential, and reduced her from a talented person to an ordinary Taoist. It forced her to change her temperament, and she had to restrain her temper and do her best.

Refer to the voices of the Taoists getting louder, and at the end, the Taoists on the scene began to repeat in unison:
"Respectfully invite the Taoist Palace to inform you of the location of the assessment!"

The sound was buzzing and deafening.

Even indistinctly, Yu Lie and the others heard the noise coming from other directions in the distance during the interval of reciting, as if someone somewhere was shouting loudly together again.

This situation is possible. Although Dao City is big, the inner city is not big, and the area where the Dao Palace Mountain Gate is located is even more small.In addition, on each side of the altar, there are tens of thousands of Taoists on board, all of whom have mana, and they recite in unison, and their voices can ring half of the inner city.

The recitation sounded loudly, and the fairy talisman that was as golden as the sun fell on the top of everyone's heads, shaking gently, as if an invisible big hand had moved it.

At this time, finally there was another voice in everyone's mind:

"Decree: Anyone who passes this assessment, regardless of their footsteps, can enter the Taoist Palace."

The sound of this edict made many people's complexions slightly change, with different expressions.

Everyone waited for the sound to come out from the talisman, but the talisman returned to a static state again, stopped moving, and did not answer everyone's questions.

The quiet crowd on the altar immediately shook again, and another group of Taoist priests hurriedly walked under the altar as if their feet had been anointed with oil.

Although the second voice did not answer everyone's words positively, it also proved from the side that the next assessment location will not be a good place, it must be extremely dangerous.

For example, beside Yu Lie, among the pair of fat and thin father and son, the fat father murmured:

"Although the Daoist palace examination does not pay attention to follow-up on the surface, in fact, it pays special attention to it. The natives of Daocheng who are admitted to the Daoist palace are far better than those who are not natives of the Daoist city... Now that the Daoist palace speaks directly, as long as they pass the exam You can pass the assessment. From this point of view, this assessment must not be easy!"

When the other party spoke, he looked at the Taoists who were retreating to the altar, with a hesitant look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Let’s keep the green hills, so we don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. Why don’t we retreat too, so that we can gain experience over the years."

But this man's son showed a look of determination on his face: "Father! In this way, this assessment is just the opportunity for me to wait. As long as you pass the test, you can enter the palace!"

As he spoke, the fat man saw that his son was so resolute. Although the hesitation on his face was still there, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Forget it, since my son insists, I will accompany you. You and my father and son are in the same room. It's rare to have a round, and Dad happens to protect you a little during the assessment."

Except for the father and son who insisted on staying for the assessment, beside Yu Lie, there were friends who had been having a lively conversation, but suddenly parted ways, and there were men and women who seemed to be in love with each other, and they suddenly became strangers.

Under such critical choices, everyone either stays or goes, with different choices.

And Yu Lie fell among them, looking at the reference crowd passing by, he also hesitated on the face, but his body swayed, and finally stood still, and did not climb down the altar of the fairy talisman.

This year is the year when he is about to turn eighteen, if he misses this time, every other year in the future, it will be more difficult to enter the Taoist palace.

And there was a retreat this year, even if he is qualified in another year, it may increase the risk of being brushed down by that palace.

This is not because Yu Lie was worried, but because his sister-in-law Luo Sen mentioned it emphatically in her notes.The other party told Yu Lie that even if he was hopeless in the assessment, he must keep his Dao heart firmly, and he must not act unscrupulously, let alone insidiously and harmfully.

Of course, another reason why Yu Lie chose to stay where he was was that after many Taoists on the altar had left, half of the Taoists still stood on the altar without leaving.

Yu Lie scanned and judged in his heart:

"There are nearly [-] people on the altar here alone. Even if the assessment is dangerous, the Taoist Palace will certainly provide some protection for these many people who have fallen into foreign lands. I will follow the crowd and win a hand!"

Yu Lie thought so optimistically, but some Taoists at the scene didn't think so.

Many Taoist priests who hadn't planned to step down at first saw that more than half of the people who were referring to them walked away in just two sentences, and they couldn't help but panic and took a step forward.

Whether to stay or not, the fairy talisman hanging high above the altar remains unmoved, like an indifferent eye, quietly watching everyone.

When the time completely came to three o'clock in the noon, there was a chuckle sounded above the altar:

"Haha, that's great! There are still nearly half of the people left here, so it's easy for poor Taoists to do business."

This chuckle was different from the indistinguishable voice just now, full of banter and humanity.

The other party also shouted: "It's [-]:[-] noon, if you still want to go down, get off quickly, otherwise it will be hard to regret it when the time comes."

When the words sounded, several Taoists who were dawdling on the side of the altar heard it, and jumped down with a plop.

The Taoists who chose to stay on the altar followed the sound and found that at some point, a Taoist riding a "white crane" appeared above the crowd and was flying around the celestial talisman.

The "White Crane" had wide wings and flew around, making a sharp crane chirp. It had a mouthful of fine teeth, which made Yu Lie faintly familiar.

Taoist Heshang wears a moon-white Taoist robe, has a childish face, pale hair, and a cinnabar mouth.

Holding a white jade ruyi in his hand, he shouted: "Poverty White Goose, fellow Taoists, please come along with Poverty and take you to the assessment!"

The call sounded, and the Taoists present heard it, and they all clapped their hands together: "See the Taoist priest!"

"Meet the Taoist priest!"

Among them, some knowledgeable people like Yu Lie, after hearing the word "White Goose", were taken aback for a moment, looked at the "White Crane" the other party was riding, and murmured, "Is this spirit bird a goose, not a crane?"

Immediately afterwards, they realized that the person who came was supposed to be a sixth-rank Taoist priest!

Because according to the regulations of the Taoist court, only Taoist priests of the sixth grade can have a real Taoist name, named with the word "Zi".

Those below the sixth grade, even if they took the official name of Taoism, it was only a nickname.

When the white goose appeared, there was a sudden gust of wind around the Xianlu altar, making nearly ten thousand Taoist disciples feel that their feet were floating, floating and about to rise with the wind.

The other party rode a big goose like a crane, shook his sleeve robe, and laughed loudly: "Go, go!"

Such a scene made everyone, including Yu Lie, think that the other party was going to use great magic power, causing nearly ten thousand people at the scene to stand up and walk into the other party's so-called assessment entrance with the wind.

Many people yearned: "A Taoist priest of the sixth rank has such great magic power!"

"This Taoist priest, I must be it."

But at the next moment, the big goose that the other party was riding opened its teeth, and its figure became bigger in mid-air. In a few blinks, it became as big as a mansion. Block it tightly.

The shadow was suppressed, and what made everyone even more horrified was that the giant goose lowered its thick and long neck, continued to open its teeth, and its inner throat was like an abyss, making the sound of whistling wind.

"What's the meaning of this?!" The Taoist disciples, who were already sloppy, were surprised.

A lot of people staggered, and suddenly they flew into the mouth of the giant goose like a headlong onion.

The wind is whistling!

The giant goose inhaled and devoured everyone on the altar.

In just one breath, hundreds of Taoist priests flew into the giant goose's mouth at a very high speed, but the opponent's stomach did not bulge at all.

The faces of those Taoists who were originally excited changed suddenly, startled and suspicious.

Even Taoist disciples like Yu Lie who have seen big scenes showed hesitation in their eyes, looking at the throat of the giant goose, wondering if they should go in or not.

But they had no choice. After thousands of people were sucked in, the white goose standing on the goose's head knocked on the head of the giant goose with the white jade in his hand, and shouted:

"Slow down, slow down."

Immediately, the giant goose stopped breathing, but grabbed the goose's head, biting towards everyone as if the head was flickering.Among them, perhaps the strength of the giant goose was not adjusted properly, and it bit the person, and the screams of the Taoist were heard one after another.

Yu Lie and the others didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly threw themselves into the giant goose's mouth.

So after a few breaths, there was no one on the altar with nearly ten thousand people, only debris left on the ground, and a ferocious white goose as huge as a mansion.

The Taoist on the goose blew lightly towards the altar, cleared the altar, and then knocked on the head of the white goose.

Beep, beep!

The cry of the crane sounded again, from loud to small.

The giant goose returned to the size of an ox and a horse. It supported the Taoist and circled in mid-air.

I saw that the celestial talisman suspended in mid-air shook again, and a portal loomed in it.

The Taoist riding a white goose hovered and flew into it immediately, and the huge fairy altar was empty, and there was no one else.

Only those Taoists who chose to climb down from the altar looked up from under the altar with a surprised face, wondering what happened on the stage, did they avoid it, or missed it?

After Yu Lie and others entered the belly of the giant goose, they suddenly felt their bodies turned upside down, swaying left and right, and there were screams, screams, and greetings for friends and companions in their ears.

Among them, Yu Lie didn't wait for him to stand firm, so he hurriedly blessed himself with another charm, and tightly held the golden charm given to him by his sister-in-law.

When passing the giant goose's mouth just now, Yu Lie was unlucky and slipped through the sharp teeth of the giant goose.

Thanks to him seeing something wrong before, he first blessed a body protection charm on his body, and his physical body is also strong, otherwise he might be cut to the stomach by the sharp teeth of the giant goose just like those screaming Taoists His belly was rotten and his limbs were broken.

In the darkness, it was pitch black, and there seemed to be a strange mist shrouded in it.

Taoist people continued to roll and turn in the belly of the giant goose, their consciousness began to blur, and they did not know the passage of time.

But slowly, there was a little bit of golden light, like fireflies, and like stars lit up in the darkness, so densely packed that the strange fog couldn't suppress it.

This light was ignited from the foreheads of nearly ten thousand Taoists.

The Taoist scriptures in the altars of all the people emerged by themselves, with dragon energy pouring in and out, connecting with each other.

I saw a line of handwriting, which appeared in everyone's Taoism by coincidence:
Order!

To the west of the great realm, there is a mustard seed. Its realm is so small that it wanders in and out, and Taoists are not allowed to enter.

There are beasts in the world, eating human souls, feasting on incense, calling themselves Dragon Court, slandering immortals and destroying Tao.

I hereby send immortals to support the way, cut down mountains and destroy temples, so as to rectify Qingming.
