Chapter 96
Lu Sangjiu took out a flying sword and chopped off the approaching branches with a few swipes, but his feet did not stop for a moment and continued to rush towards the trunk of the tree.
The closer you get to the trunk, the more branches are waving.
She cut off a few thicker ones, and the blood in the branches immediately sprayed all over the ground.
The pungent smell of blood immediately made her frown in disgust.
Shen Yuzhao's frightened screams came from behind, but Lu Sangjiu knew that he must have burned the branches with strange fire while screaming.
After all, her third senior brother always said the most cowardly words and did the cruelest things, so there was no need to worry about this little trouble.
As for Xie Ningyuan, he remained quiet throughout the whole process, which made Lu Sangjiu very satisfied.
After cutting branches all the way, he finally reached the trunk, and then Lu Sangjiu crashed straight into it.
At that moment, Xie Ningyuan behind him wondered if she had been possessed by the demon tree and was about to commit suicide by hitting the tree.
But when he saw her figure disappear in an instant, he suddenly realized, and he followed her immediately.
Seeing that both of them had gone in, Shen Yuzhao was left even more anxious, "Hey, wait for me!"
He quickened his pace, but the branches with no eyes came to stop him again.
Shen Yuzhao was suddenly anxious and angry, and he couldn't control the strange fire he threw out. With a huff, it burned directly along the branches to the trunk.
Seeing that most of the trees were burned down, Shen Yuzhao was startled, and a trace of guilt that he had done something wrong flashed across his face.
He hurriedly put away the strange fire and got in through the remaining half of the tree trunk.
The tree trunk was like a portal. After entering, they came to a simple stone room.
But unlike the previous dark underground palace, there were several luminous pearls placed on the wall here, illuminating the stone room as bright as day.
In the center of the stone chamber is a stone statue of a young man.
He raised his head slightly and raised the wine gourd high in his hand. The wine poured out from the gourd mouth and fell into his mouth. There was also a flying sword under his feet.
The statue was lifelike, showing the image of a free and unrestrained swordsman in front of several people.
The three people were staring at the stone statue when they heard a man's voice.
"Young man, do you yearn for freedom? Do you long for strength? Do you want to be a great swordsman like me?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, there were three sentences of torture from the soul.
The corner of Lu Sangjiu's mouth twitched. This sounds... Why does it sound like a magic stick?
I always feel that his next sentence should be: I have a sword manual to ensure that you can become a swordsman if you learn it. No need 998, just 98 and you can take it home! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take out the spiritual stones and buy them!
Unfortunately, what she expected did not happen. After those words, the stone room fell into a deathly silence.
An invisible embarrassment spread, and Shen Yuzhao couldn't help but look at Lu Sangjiu and then at Xie Ningyuan.
Seeing that neither of them had any intention of answering, he couldn't resist the pressure and finally couldn't help but tentatively said, "I... I kind of want to?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
The answer was reluctant, it would be better not to say it, it seemed more embarrassing.
However, it turns out that the other person is more adaptable to embarrassment than she thought.
Even with such an answer, he could still add an impassioned sentence, "Okay! I can already feel your enthusiasm!"
Lu Sangjiu: "..." No, thank you.
Shen Yuzhao also slowly made a question mark in his mind, and then forced out an awkward yet polite smile.
The man was not at all discouraged by their negativity and continued with his process.
"Unfortunately, opportunities only come to those who are prepared, and my inheritance can only be given to one person."
"If you want to be the one among ten thousand, you have to accept my test... Are you ready?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..." It's not over yet.
The corner of Xie Ningyuan's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but because he had promised Lu Sangjiu not to cause trouble, he held back and did not speak.
So Shen Yuzhao was still the only one who was forced to cooperate helplessly, "Ah... well, you should be... ready, right?"
The other party continued to be impassioned, "Okay, then all candidates, enter the examination room now!"
Lu Sangjiu thought there would be some new map to unlock, and immediately waited calmly.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
She couldn't help but look around again in confusion, but still didn't find any problem. She couldn't help but look at Xie Ningyuan, "Where is the examination room?"
Xie Ningyuan's expression was very innocent, "How would I know?"
Lu Sangjiu frowned, thinking that he had been tricked by this person. He was about to ask, but he heard the voice speak again.
This time, his tone completely lost the impassioned tone before, and instead sounded a bit perfunctory and dismissive, "You two are not qualified to enter the examination room, so just wait here."
Lu Sangjiu was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Shen Yuzhao.
Only then did I realize that although Shen Yuzhao was still standing there, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and he had no response to the outside world at all.
She was a little surprised, but she could probably guess that this might be the so-called "entering the examination room".
I don’t know what Shen Yuzhao will go through. I hope he can successfully get the inheritance before Ye Zhiyao appears!
After confirming that Shen Yuzhao was okay, Lu Sangjiu looked at the stone statue of the Sword Immortal with some curiosity, "So... you didn't have a set of words that you had set up a long time ago, but are you a being that can communicate?"
"Nonsense, how could such an extremely handsome and invincible being like this Sword Immortal be fake?"
"This is a ray of divine consciousness left by this Sword Immortal. It is here to wait for the destined person, so as not to be taken advantage of."
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
Very good, another senior with great character.
"Then before you..."
This senior Sword Immortal with great character immediately knew what Lu Sang Wine meant.
"That's the test I give you! If you can't even show basic respect and cooperation, how can you be qualified to enter my examination room?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
So, it turns out that she and Xie Ningyuan were deprived of the qualification to enter the examination room just because they failed to cooperate?
Xie Ningyuan chuckled, "No wonder you haven't found a successor until now."
It's really hard to find people who are willing to cooperate with his stupid rhetoric just now.
Lu Sangjiu was convinced, and then she had no intention of continuing to chat with this strange senior. She just took out a futon, put it in the corner, sat down, and said to Xie Ningyuan, "Let's wait here for a while."
Xie Ningyuan looked around with great interest: "Are you sure you don't want to look around anymore? Generally speaking, if you give inheritance, you will also be given some other good things."
"Although we can't get the inheritance, if we can find some spiritual stones or other treasures, it won't be in vain."
Lu Sangjiu couldn't help but complain, "Do you Buddhist cultivators all have this style of painting now?"
Xie Ningyuan said seriously: "Please do not escalate my behavior to the entire Buddhist community. Thank you for your cooperation."
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
Okay, what you said makes sense!
So she silently put away the futon and came to Xie Ningyuan's side, and asked shamelessly, "So, did you find anything?"
