Chapter 854 Passing the test
In the Lihuo Palace, in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Deputy Palace Master Yin sat with a veil on his face, stern and unsmiling. He glanced at the disciple in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Su Huan, use Li Cui Gu Tell me what it is for."
Mei Suhua raised her head to look at her master, then looked sideways at the expressionless senior sister, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, master, it's just what the senior sister told me when the former ladies went to Mo'an Palace. something.”
Deputy Palace Master Yin frowned, turned around and asked, "Zhuo Qi, why did you call Su Huan?"
"Me?" Senior sister Han Zhuoqi obviously didn't expect that she was involved in it. She was stunned and looked at Mei Suhua strangely.
When Mei Suhua saw this, she immediately smiled and said: "Senior Sister, have you forgotten? Didn't you talk about what Master told you a few days ago? You want to go to Mo Yu Palace with Master, and you are afraid of Seventh Junior Sister You were anxious, that’s why you told me?”
Han Zhuoqi slapped his forehead and said: "That's right, Master, that's exactly what happened. Didn't you always tell me to test the martial arts of that alchemy disciple named Xiaoyao? This disciple was recommended by the Seventh Junior Sister, and he is considered the master. My savior, don’t you want to go to Mo Qiang Palace with Master? I was afraid that Ping’er would be anxious, so I chatted with Third Junior Sister. If Ping’er couldn’t find us, I would ask Third Junior Sister to do the test on my behalf.”
However, when she said this, she immediately understood and said in shock: "Third Junior Sister, you...you won't let this disciple go to Ghost Valley?"
"Why not? I just went to Ghost Valley." Deputy Palace Master Yin snorted coldly: "And let the Palace Master know about it too."
"Does the master of the hall also know?" Mei Suhua was also stunned, and then smiled and said: "Master, senior sister, I have good intentions. You see, no one has entered this Licui Valley for a long time, and all kinds of medicinal herbs must have accumulated inside. Like a mountain, let Ren Xiaoyao take advantage of the opportunity to test his martial arts to go in and pick some. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Moreover, the leader of the preparatory disciples said that the martial arts test is also necessary. After thinking about it for a long time, the disciple didn't think of anything. It’s a test that suits the leader’s taste. I only think that testing martial arts in Licui Valley can show the leader’s compassionate heart.”
Deputy Palace Master Yin didn't seem to be interested in asking so many questions, and waved his hand: "What was the result of the test? Did Ren Xiaoyao come out alive?"
Mei Suhua shook her head slightly: "The disciple waited for four hours and didn't see any movement, so he came back first. The seventh junior sister and the sixth junior sister were guarding there. The disciple doesn't know the specific result now, but there are fresh things in the Licui Valley. If someone can support me for three hours, I think..."
When Deputy Palace Master Yin heard this, he said in a harsh tone: "You... Mei Suhua, don't you think you have gone too far in this matter?"
Seeing Deputy Palace Master Yin getting angry,
Mei Suhua immediately stood up, bowed and said: "Disciple knows that he made a mistake, please ask Master to punish him."
"You..." Deputy Palace Master Yin smiled bitterly: "Ren Xiaoyao can be regarded as Master's savior. Your Seventh Junior Sister tried every means to get him to Lihuo Palace. It's good for you. He died in just a few days. If I had known this, why would I ask the Master for help?"
"Master...disciple too..."
Before Mei Suhua could finish her words, a voice came from outside: "Master, Senior Sister, you... you are finally back, you have to make the decision for me."
Two women rushed in. Wasn't it Zhang Ping'er who shouted loudly in front?
Deputy Palace Master Yin shook his head: "Anyone can come if they say so. This Yixiang Peak is really evil."
As soon as she saw the pavilion, Zhang Ping'er fell down and cried, saying: "Master, you must make the decision for me. Third Senior Sister...she avenges her private revenge."
Mei Suhua was anxious and argued: "Master, don't listen to her nonsense. When did I avenge my private revenge?"
Deputy Palace Master Yin glared at her and said angrily: "Shut up."
Then, he comforted Zhang Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, don't be anxious. Speak slowly."
So, Zhang Ping'er choked up and told the story about how she and Zhang Xiaohua met Mei Suhua that day. After hearing this, Deputy Palace Master Yin couldn't laugh or cry. He glared at Mei Suhua again and said with a smile: "Your third senior sister is nothing more than I'm just joking with you, how can you take it seriously? Even if you offended Su Hua that day, she wouldn't be able to let Xiaoyao express her resentment with just a few words and do such a cruel thing."
"Just now, your third senior sister has told my master about the future. She just wanted to take advantage of Ren Xiaoyao's luck to collect more medicinal herbs. Who would have thought that it would lead to the current result? Therefore, your third senior sister's mistake can be regarded as unintentional. However, I don’t really want Ren Xiaoyao’s life. Alas, the same goes for Ren Xiaoyao. What a good child. It was me who harmed him. Ping’er, I think this child’s body must be gone. You can give him a tomb. , when it is completed, I will give him a stick of incense.”
Zhang Ping'er listened to the master's words. She nodded at first, then shook her head. When she waited for the last few words, she became even more puzzled. She wiped away her tears and asked curiously: "Ren Xiaoyao is dead? Master, did the third senior sister curse in front of you again?" Him?"
"Huh?" At this time, not only Deputy Palace Master Yin, but also Han Zhuoqi and Mei Suhua were also surprised: "Ren Xiaoyao...he is not dead?"
Seeing everyone's surprise, Zhang Ping'er felt better and said proudly: "Ren Xiaoyao's martial arts is very good, how can this mere ghost valley kill him?"
"Why are you crying if you're not dead?"
Deputy Palace Master Yin turned to look at Shui Linglong who came with Zhang Ping'er: "Your seventh junior sister is right."
"Well, yes, master, the disciple has seen it with his own eyes." Shui Linglong bowed and replied.
"Haha, okay, Linglong, go and call Ren Xiaoyao."
When Shui Linglong went out, Zhang Ping'er took out the ghost-faced mushroom that Zhang Xiaohua gave her yesterday and said, "Ren Xiaoyao not only came out, but he also picked the ghost-faced mushroom that was five hundred years old."
With a hiss, Deputy Palace Master Yin took a breath: "There is actually a ghost-faced mushroom with a sound of five hundred years."
"Yes, Master, Ren Xiaoyao worked hard to get this. According to him, he almost died." Zhang Ping'er said pitifully: "But... this still does not meet the requirements of Third Senior Sister. Senior Sister needs Ren Xiaoyao to collect the thousand-year-old ghost-faced mushroom to pass~ Master, this is why this disciple is crying."
"Absurd" Deputy Palace Master Yin glared at Mei Suhua for the third time, and Mei Suhua's face turned red.
"Stop crying, Ping'er, Master made the final decision for Ren Xiaoyao to pass this Licui Valley martial arts test."
Zhang Ping'er's face turned a little red, and her eyes were filled with joy, and she said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."
"What kind of favor is this? If Ren Xiaoyao has this strength, of course he will pass..." Deputy Palace Master Yin said with a smile.
Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua followed Shui Linglong to the pavilion on the water.
Zhang Xiaohua stood at the door of the pavilion from a distance, greeting everyone. Afterwards, Deputy Palace Master Yin asked: "Ren Xiaoyao, congratulations on passing the martial arts test. You can take off your hat as a preparatory alchemy disciple. I will send someone to report to Mo Yugong soon, and your waist badge will be sent tomorrow." , you are now my official alchemy disciple in Lihuo Palace."
Zhang Xiaohua was unfazed by the favor and humiliation, bowed and said: "Thank you, Deputy Palace Master, for your support."
Deputy Palace Master Yin smiled and said: "It's all your own credit, there's no need to thank me. Well, it seems that you were relaxed when you entered the Li Cui Valley yesterday, and you didn't suffer any injuries? Oh, your lip seems to be broken."
Zhang Xiaohua's lips and neck were bitten yesterday. However, his body's self-healing ability is extremely strong, and most of it has recovered overnight. Only the tooth marks on his lips are still vaguely visible. Normally, Deputy Palace Master Yin might not know about it, but when I heard that he had broken through the Ghost Valley, he couldn't help but look carefully and discovered it at a glance.
Zhang Xiaohua touched her lips awkwardly and said, "I accidentally fell down in Licui Valley yesterday, hehe."
Deputy Palace Master Yin did not ask further questions, and just said: "Then... tell me what happened when you went in yesterday."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaohua knew that this moment would come, and she had already made plans in her mind. She only told her about picking herbs yesterday.
"What? What did you say? The black fog in Licui Valley has dissipated?" Deputy Palace Master Yin stood up at that time and asked in surprise.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand why she was so nervous. She touched her nose and smiled and said: "Deputy Hall Master, think about it, if the black fog does not clear, how can I pick this ghost-faced mushroom at the end of the valley?"
"Okay, okay, this can be regarded as a great contribution by you." Deputy Palace Master Yin turned to Han Zhuoqi and said: "Zhuoqi, go and confirm it quickly. If it is true, report it to Mo Yugong immediately. This Ghost Valley The ghost mist disappears, maybe there is some big event involving the Incense Cult."
After Han Zhuoqi took the order and left, Deputy Palace Master Yin asked again: "Ren Xiaoyao, since you haven't encountered the ghost mist at all, there is naturally no danger, but... why didn't you come out as soon as you picked the ghost-faced mushroom? Stay in there until dark?"
"Hehe" Zhang Xiaohua smiled sheepishly: "Deputy Palace Master, what Senior Sister Mei wants is the thousand-year-old ghost-faced mushroom. This one is obviously not the one. I searched around the valley three times, but it was a waste of time. And..."
"And what?"
"And the day before yesterday, I heard that there was going to be a test yesterday, and I was very excited. I didn't sleep well that night. In addition, I was tired from wandering around the Licui Valley, so I sat down in a sunny place to sleep... and fell asleep... "
"This..." Everyone was speechless. Who are these people?
After a while, Deputy Palace Master Yin finally came to his senses, stroking his palms and saying, "You are really a lucky person."
Then he thought for a while and said: "However, Ren Xiaoyao, although you are my alchemy disciple in Lihuo Palace, you must strictly follow the rules of the sect and start step by step, but I can't give you much help."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "That's natural. I am willing to act in accordance with the rules of Lihuo Palace."
"Well, alchemy disciples start by guarding the garden. After you learn a series of basics such as watering, you can enter the alchemy room and learn basic alchemy techniques."
"Take care of the garden? A garden where herbs are grown?" It seems that Zhang Xiaohua has always been associated with growing herbs.
