Chapter 616 Midnight Village
Under the leadership of Xiao Ziyun, Amber and Lin Xiaoxiao followed them to a small village nearly thirty miles away from the jungle.
It was already late at night, but the lights in the village were brightly lit, and laughter and laughter could be heard from a distance.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, but if you think about it deeply, you will find some extremely scary things that make people's hair stand on end.
"What you have to do is go there and find out the source of everything. Don't worry, there won't be anything beyond your capabilities."
Xiao Ziyun stood in front of the two of them and said in an understatement: "But you need to remember, don't make a decision easily."
After all, she still said something to Amber for the sake of Jiujianxian, even though it was not important in the eyes of the person involved.
As the words fell, Xiao Ziyun rose into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xiaoxiao had obviously made a lot of mental preparations. After the master left, his face did not show too much panic. Instead, he tried to comfort Amber: "Just follow me later. I'll go." Look ahead and clear the way.”
"OK."
Amber did not refuse, on the contrary, she readily agreed.
This assessment started the moment Xiao Ziyun left. Whether the girl opposite her was sincere or fake, she could obviously leave a very good impression in front of the examiner.
If it were an ordinary person, they would either be unwilling to accept the woman's protection, or they would quarrel and seize control of the next action.
No matter which one you choose, you have already fallen behind.
Amber's natural attitude was not only able to neutralize Lin Xiaoxiao's subtlety in an understatement, but also allowed him to hide himself calmly.
The only thing he lost was his face as a man.
But...is that stuff important?
"Come with me."
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, turned around and walked towards the village without hesitation.
She is a very proud person. Either she doesn't do something, or she has to do her best if she does something, even if it's just an entrance exam.
Just as two small figures slowly approached the strange village, three figures were standing side by side several hundred meters above the sky.
It was Xiao Ziyun, the Jiujianxian, and a middle-aged man who was full of ethereal aura.
His half-black and half-white hair makes him look full of vicissitudes of life. Different from the previous two, he does not have a flying magic weapon under his feet, but directly flies into the void.
"Senior brother, how come you are alarmed by the mere examination of an entry-level disciple?"
Xiao Ziyun had a completely different look on his face, and his tone was very soft and respectful.
"You don't need to tell me. The Lin family's girl has been decided long ago, but Junior Brother Mo has been looking for her for decades, and now I finally have one that catches my eye. Of course I want to come and have a look."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, turned to look at Jiujianxian, and said with a slow smile.
He is the current leader of Shushan Sword Master Dugu. He is the only person in the world who has entered Taoism. His combat power is probably higher than that of worshiping the moon. However, because he has attained Taoism, he can look at things very objectively, so he seems a bit ruthless. .
This seems out of place in the fairy sword world with the theme of love.
Therefore, he is destined not to be understood.
This can be seen from the name.
Dugu, lonely.
"Just look, can you still try to rob someone?"
Jiu Jianxian rolled his eyes angrily, "I've seen you too. Do you, the great master, have anything to comment on?"
"Junior sister, I also want to hear what the head senior brother thinks of the two juniors."
Xiao Ziyun followed from the side.
Dugu Sword Master did not hide it, caressing his chin beard, and looked at the two people below, "The little girl chosen by my junior sister is born with a sword heart, and her bones are very suitable for your things. She is the best successor."
"What about the boy?"
Xiao Ziyun was not surprised by this evaluation, because she took a fancy to this aspect of Lin Xiaoxiao, so she decided to become a master and apprentice early on, and even left behind an extremely precious jade pendant for communication.
Hearing this, Dugu Sword Master casually glanced at Amber. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the more he looked at it, the hand holding his beard tightened. Until the two of them entered the village, they didn't say a word.
This made Xiao Ziyun and Jiu Jianxian look at each other, a little confused.
"Senior brother?"
"ah"
Only then did Dugu Sword Master come back to his senses, but his expression became more and more confused: "This is a very strange boy. His talent is not inferior to that of the Lin family girl, and even slightly exceeds it, but..."
"But what?"
The Jiujianxian was concerned about his future apprentice and quickly asked.
"It's hard to say right now."
Dugu Sword Master shook his head slightly, "I want to personally preside over the next assessment, so you two should stop interfering."
After saying that, regardless of the expressions of his junior brothers and sisters, his body turned into a shadow and disappeared into the sky above the village.
Since it is an assessment, there is naturally no real danger. To put it bluntly, it is actually a large-scale illusion array, targeting the character of the mind.
But when Dugu Sword Master joined in, everything changed.
Not only do the scenes become more realistic, but the people inside them also come alive.
"Senior brother, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Ziyun said in confusion: "Is it because of that boy named An?"
"How do I know?"
The Jiujianxian felt a little guilty. As he knew some of Amber's evil qualities, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency that his apprentice was going to be snatched away.
No, no, this is not okay.
"Junior sister, if he becomes shameless later, you have to stand by my side!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Ziyun rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Do you think the head senior brother is the same as you!"
"That's because you don't understand him."
Jiu Jianxian said this, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it seemed to be true.
In the past ten years, Dugu Sword Master has rarely had any mood swings, let alone happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
Alas, I just hope everything goes well.
With this thought in mind, the two of them turned their attention to the village.
Amber, who was walking forward below, suddenly frowned. The girl in front said, "Have you noticed that this place is different from before?"
"It's no different."
Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and looked around, but didn't notice anything unusual: "Follow closely, I won't care about you if you get lost."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace.
To explore a place, the first thing to do is to observe the environment. At the very least, you need to know where to escape if something goes wrong.
This is what the two of them are doing now.
Just walking, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly frowned and looked around with some confusion.
"Why do I always feel like something is missing?"
She murmured to herself and stopped, "Master asked me to come here to take the assessment. He said that if I pass it, I can enter Shushan to practice. Yes, I need to find the clues here quickly, and then go to find Master."
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to have completely forgotten Amber and started her own journey of exploration.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will soon discover that this place is actually formed by the residual resentment after the death of a monster. She only needs to answer that question to successfully pass the level.
This was decided after discussion between Jiu Jianxian and Xiao Ziyun.
For Lin Xiaoxiao, this is just an ordinary assessment.
but.
What about Amber?
