When I was a Taoist

Chapter 204 Are You Here To Die?

I haven't seen Fan Chen for a few months, and I didn't expect him to look completely new after leaving customs, with bright eyes and brows, as if he had been completely reborn.Regarding this, Fan Chen didn't say much, he just told me that under the guidance of Taoist Xuanyuan, he has learned a lot of Taoism, which can be said to be far beyond the previous level.

"Dazhi, don't slack off during this period. Otherwise, if you fight again in the future, you may not be my opponent." Fanchen said with a grin at me.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down." I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't think I don't know, your school is only good at Taoism, not proficient in spells and formations. But with all-round development, the strength is definitely beyond your expectations."

"Who doesn't know how to brag, we'll know after we fight in the future." Fan Chen gave me a provocative look, and then the two of us laughed at the same time.

Just as I was joking with Fan Chen, a young man came over, cupped his hands at me, and said with a shallow smile, "This should be Daoist Dazhi, right? This is Wanjian from Nanshan. I have heard about it a long time ago. I have earned the name of Fellow Daoist, and seeing him today really lives up to my reputation."

Nanshan is a well-known mountain outside Longcheng. There are nearly ten Taoist priests living on it, and the leader is a retired senior.When I heard that the other party was a younger generation from Nanshan, even though I had never heard of the name Wanjian, I still politely returned the gift and said with a smile: "Friend Wanjian is from Nanshan, so he must have excellent talent."

"Compared with fellow daoist, you are still far behind."

Wan Jian smiled, shook his head and said.I took a look at him at this time, and found that he looked thin and weak, and the long sword behind his back seemed a bit cumbersome, which made me think it was difficult for him to swing the long sword.

Hearing that Wan Jian came from Nanshan, Fanchen said excitedly: "I heard from my master that the senior from Nanshan and him are old friends. I wonder if senior is in good health recently?"

"I didn't expect the master to be old friends with the respected master. We really have a fate." Wan Jian was also very happy, and chatted with us.

"Boom!"

A clear bell rang, and we all looked in the direction of the bell.I saw the two elders who audited us three days ago came over, holding a stack of materials in their hands.

"Is everyone here?"

The second elder glanced at us, then nodded, and said: "This time, there are 12 people participating in the test. Three people are divided into four groups, and different tasks are drawn. Although the difficulty is different, it depends on everyone's performance in the end. , will decide who can take the final test. The rules are very simple, whether you can pass or not depends on your own performance."

After speaking, we looked at each other and began to identify our teammates.Naturally, Fan Chen and I don't need to say much, instead of finding another teammate among other strangers, I would rather just join forces with Fan Chen, at least we cooperate more tacitly than others.

Because of my reputation, there are three more people who want to join our team.I glanced at their faces, there was fierceness and cunning in their eyes, and I didn't hide it at all. Bringing them will kill me sooner or later.

After rejecting them, I was planning to apply to the second elder, and we formed a two-person team.At this time, Wan Jian came over and said sincerely: "Dazhi, can I form a team with you? Don't worry, I will definitely not drag you back."

Fan Chen and I looked at each other, and I had a pretty good impression of Wan Jian, so I agreed to his request.

Seeing that we have confirmed the team, the second elder said: "After confirming the team, come to me to draw the task."

I walked up to the second elder, first bowed slightly to him with a respectful face, and then randomly selected a piece of information.When we came to Fanchen and Wanjian, the three of us briefly read the information, and our expressions immediately became a little unnatural.

These four missions will determine the level of difficulty, with the lowest being five and the highest being ten.And the task I picked had a difficulty of exactly ten.

According to the information, we are required to investigate the phenomenon in the Longcheng Cemetery within a week and suppress the evil ghosts.

A seemingly simple task, but in fact all three of us understand how tricky it is.The name of Longcheng Cemetery sounds very serious, but it is actually a managed cemetery.The Yin Qi here is so strong that few Taoist priests are willing to stay nearby late at night.

"Dazhi, why is your luck so good all the time, you can get this." Fanchen said with a wry smile.

Wan Jian's face was also a little ugly, but he still comforted us and said: "Although the task is a bit tricky, I believe that if we work together, no matter how difficult it is, we will have a chance to complete it."

After hearing Wan Jian's words, Fan Chen and I also nodded, a little more optimistic.Immediately afterwards, the second elder gave us some instructions, and asked everyone to disperse separately, and hurry up to complete their tasks.

"Dazhi, come here."

The second elder beckoned to us, the three of us walked up to the second elder and saluted, the latter smiled and said, "How about it, you have drawn the most difficult task, do you have the confidence to complete it?"

"Second Elder, I can only promise to do my best to complete the task." I replied with a wry smile.

Hearing this, the Second Elder smiled and said: "Actually, the Taoist Council received this task some time ago. A Taoist priest went to see it, but he was hurt by Yin Qi, and he still hasn't recovered. I didn't expect , the Great Elder Council chose to take this task as a test."

I was startled, and subconsciously looked at the third elder who was not far away.The latter smiled coldly at me, which was self-evident.

I have some doubts now, it is the Great Elder and the Third Elder deliberately making things difficult for me.

"It's useless to say anything now, it's better to think about how to complete the task."

The second elder came in front of me, stuffed something into my hand without showing any trace, and said in a low voice: "This is my personal help to you. The rest depends on the strength of the three of you. "

After finishing speaking, the Second Elder patted me on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the interior of the Daoist Association.

Leaving the Daohui, we thought it was still early, so we discussed going to the cemetery to take a look, knowing ourselves and the enemy can reduce losses.It happened to be noon when we arrived at the cemetery, when the cloudiness was the least, and it was the most suitable time to check the scene.

We tracked down the cemetery keeper, who was a thin, middle-aged man.To our surprise, his face was pale, even with a touch of dull gray.Coupled with the sunken eyes, I even suspect that he has kidney deficiency caused by excessive indulgence.

Knowing the purpose of our visit, the administrator said disdainfully: "Last time, an old man came here, but he got sick and ran back. This time, three little kids came again. Are you here to die?"
