"Youtang?"
"Located at the top of the six levels of the Shocking Hall, we call it the decision-making layer, or the discussion circle. They are the real big shots who decide all the affairs of the entire Shocking Hall. The leaders of the Shocking Hall, two The vice-leader and the five hall masters are composed of eight people." Song Jue explained, "Among them, the quiet hall is responsible for the investigation and recommendation of monks from the mysterious world. The members of the inner circle want to develop chess pieces and Cannon fodder must be reported to Youtang, and the development can only be considered successful after obtaining the permission of Youtang; in addition, once the monks invited by Youtang personally join, they will be members of the inner circle."
"In addition, the same is true for the monks invited to join the Nether Hall. However, generally the monks invited by the Nether Hall are members of the high-level inner circle... The inner circle is divided into low-level and high-level, which is why I will The reason why Shocking Hall is divided into six levels.”
Like a pyramid, at the apex is the discussion circle.The opposite is the outer circle at the bottom, and then the lower-order inner circle and the higher-order inner circle.
Su Anran nodded, expressing understanding: "Then there are two levels?"
"Midang, one of the five main halls of the Shocking Hall, means the way of the emperor, and they are responsible for the assessment and evaluation of all members of the Shocking Hall and the distribution of tasks and other matters related to personnel transfer." Song Jue replied, "From the high If the inner circle of the rank is further promoted, it is the executive circle, and if the executive circle is further promoted, it is the core circle... Starting from the executive circle, it can be regarded as a real high-level sequence that has entered the Shocking Hall, and already has the power to command actions; and The inner circle, to put it bluntly, is equivalent to the status of the elders of the sect, and they are all candidates for the five hall masters."
Outer circle, low-level inner circle, high-level inner circle, executive circle, core circle, and discussion circle, six levels constitute the complete power order of the entire Shocking Hall.
"Then you are..."
"I am a high-ranking member of the inner circle." Song Jue said in a deep voice, "I was directly invited by the Mingtang, so I have been a high-ranking inner circle member since I joined Jingshitang, and I have a certain degree of command and freedom. The right to act... This time Mu Qingfeng and I went to the secret realm of the Dead Sea in Huangquan to complete a mission assessment. If the assessment is successful, then we can be promoted to the executive circle. But it's a pity..."
"Mission failed." Su Anran sighed and completed the words for Song Jue.
"Oh, this mission is impossible to succeed at all." Song Jue sneered disdainfully, "Jingshitang is just using me and trying to take the opportunity to kill me."
"It seems that there are not small internal conflicts." Su Anran laughed.
Song Jue glanced at Su Anran, and then sighed softly: "The five main halls, the imperial hall, the secluded hall, the dark hall, the blood hall, and the dark hall, are not only intriguing with each other, but even the interior of each hall is full of chaos. There are many factions, and the relationship with each other is extremely complicated and chaotic... Although I was invited to join by the Nether Hall, I chose to join one of the factions in the Blood Hall."
"Blood Hall?"
"The blood hall is mainly responsible for conquests and assassinations and various assassinations. Simply put, it is a hall that often needs to see blood." Song Jue said, "The dark hall is specially responsible for the collection of information in the mysterious world... the five big At the entrance of the hall, the Blood Hall has the most factions, and the interior is also the most chaotic."
The Shocking Hall has five entrances, the Midang is in charge of personnel transfer, the Dark Hall is in charge of intelligence work, the Blood Hall is in charge of related combat work, the Nether Hall and the Nether Hall seem to have overlapping functions on the surface, but Su Anran understands that the two The specific matters that each hall is responsible for must be different.
"Then what do you mean by telling me..." Su Anran learned a lot about Jingshitang from Song Jue, and he had a comprehensive understanding, so he decided to start to control the discourse.
"I want to invite you to join the Shocking Hall."
"Invite me to join?" Su Anran blinked, but she had already started laughing in her heart.
He made so many preparations before, just to join Jingshitang through Song Jue. This step is particularly critical in Su Anran's plan.So at this moment, seeing Song Jue starting to act according to her own script, Su Anran naturally felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
"But didn't you say that only Youtang and Mingtang can invite others to join?"
"Yes, but I have the right to recommend." Song Jue said, "With your identity and strength, Junior Brother Su, as long as I recommend you, you will definitely pass! But ordinary recommendations don't have much meaning, so I'm going to Recommend Junior Brother Su to the Nether Hall, so that you can immediately become a high-ranking member of the inner circle when you join Jingshitang... As long as Junior Brother Su agrees, I can immediately handle this matter."
"This..." Su Anran's face showed some embarrassment, "But Jingshi Hall is so chaotic inside, I don't think... it's not suitable for me."
"Junior Brother Su, didn't you say that you are very interested in drawing swords and Taidao?" Song Jue directly threw out his trump card, "I do have a way to take you there, but this can only be done after you join Jingshitang take you there."
Su Anran's expression was serious, and she seemed a little angry: "Are you threatening me?"
"No." Song Jue shook his head, "I'm not threatening you, but explaining a fact to you... I don't know if you have heard, Junior Brother Su... about the small world, but the only thing I can tell you The most interesting thing is that the origin of Taisao and sword drawing is not in our mysterious world, but in a small world. You can understand it as a special remnant world, Jingshitang controls the way to enter this aspect, so if I If I want to take you there, I must let you join the Shocking Hall."
Su Anran naturally knew what Song Jue meant.
She didn't know that she could enter and leave the world at will, and "reincarnation of the world" is not something that can be mentioned in the mysterious world, so Su Anran felt that it was really embarrassing for Song Jue, and she didn't know how long she had been fighting Only with the draft of the belly, can this matter be explained clearly without involving the relevant content of "Reincarnation of Myriad Realms".
But Su Anran knew that at this time, naturally she couldn't agree too eagerly.
So he frowned deliberately, showing a look of contemplation.
"Of course, I also have selfish intentions." Seeing Su Anran frowning, Song Jue said again.
"Oh?" Su Anran raised her head and looked at Song Jue.
"I was abandoned as an abandoned child this time, so I want revenge... But I can't do it alone, so I need your help." Song Jue said in a deep voice, "The only thing I can do is The only condition is the information about Taidao and sword drawing. Of course, if you have other needs, Junior Brother Su, and I can do it, I will never refuse... My only request is that you, Junior Brother Su, Can help me avenge."
"Oh." Su Anran pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Then do you have any goals?"
"Yes!" Hearing Su Anran's words, Song Jue nodded immediately, "There are three people! One is from the Imperial Hall, one is from the Mingtang, and one is..." When he said the last one, Song Jue's face was a little pale. It's complicated, but it's only for a moment: "He's the leader of my faction. Without his nod, I wouldn't be able to accept the commission sent by Mido this time."
Su Anran was stunned.
He didn't expect that Song Jue could actually find three scapegoats. What did this woman go through to have such a strong persecution paranoia?
It's just that Su Anran would not be so stupid as to say these words outright.
"I understand." Su Anran nodded, "I can help you. But... the premise is that what you told me is true."
"Naturally." Song Jue smiled, and then took out a sound transmission talisman to Su Anran, "This is my sound transmission talisman, we will rely on this contact if we have anything to do in the future. I will first report your matter to Jingshi Tang, but it will definitely not be so fast for you to officially join Jingshitang, so once there is news, I will notify you immediately."
Su Anran nodded, expressing her understanding.
"By the way, what about Senior Brother Mu Qingfeng?"
"Don't mention him." Song Jue shook his head slightly, "I have broken with him, and that's why I made up my mind to come to you."
Su Anran's gaze towards Song Jue suddenly became strange.
Of course he knew that Song Jue and Mu Qingfeng had broken up, and he hadn't missed the confrontation between the two in the dense forest just now.
It's just that at this time, according to his identity, he really has to ask, which is in line with his personality.
"Don't think too much, he and I were just...partners before, and now that we have broken up, it means that I have completely lost a partner, so if you join Shocking Hall, if there is no accident, we will soon become partners in the same group " Song Jue hurriedly explained, "The specific situation, after you join Jingshitang, I will take you to a small world with swords and sword drawing skills, and you will understand."
Su Anran nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He naturally knew what Song Jue meant.
The so-called partners refer to the members of the reincarnation team.It's just that Su Anran is very curious. As he currently enters the reincarnation of the Ten Thousand Realms basically by smuggling, can he really form a team with Song Jue?Su Anran became curious about the answer to this question.
Chapter 070
The next day, Su Anran and Song Jue left the inn.
It's just that Song Jue's face looked particularly ugly and gloomy.
When the two left this morning, Song Jue realized that Mu Qingfeng was not in the room. It seemed that he had never returned after leaving last night.
And this discovery also minimized Song Jue's impression of Mu Qingfeng - if the previous breakup was only due to disagreement, then at this moment, Song Jue really didn't want to see Mu Qingfeng anymore.
Su Anran shook his head. He felt that there was really no way to blame Mu Qingfeng for this matter. After all, he was lying in his storage ring now, how could he show himself?
Of course, Su Anran would not tell Song Jue this.
The two of them came to the pier in silence all the way. There were already several spirit boats here, and monks were boarding one after another. Most of them were disciples from Beihai Jiandao, and there were also some who didn't know where they came from. sword repair.Beihai Jiandao did not reject these sword cultivators who boarded the boat. Judging from the expressions of those Beihai Jiandao disciples who were in charge of maintaining order, it seemed that more people were eager to leave.
"Senior Sister Song, let's say goodbye for now, don't send it off." Su Anran turned around and said to Song Jue.
"Okay." Song Jue is not a hypocritical person, she nodded, "Next, wait for my news... When you come out of the sword test island, there should be a result."
"Okay." Su Anran cupped her fists in greeting, then turned and walked towards the monk who seemed to be the leader of Beihai Sword Island.
After Su Anran expressed his intention to come, the soul condensing man directly arranged for Su Anran to board the boat without even asking too much.
Trying Sword Island is not too far from Beihai Jiandao, but this secret realm is only beneficial to sword cultivators, so only sword cultivators who choose to enter this secret realm have always been sword cultivators—not only sword cultivators from the Beihai Jiandao family, but sword cultivators with a little ability Xiu will come here as much as possible, not to mention the other three sword repair holy places.
Because it is rumored that Jianjian Island was once a sitting place for a great swordsman to practice life and death.
The so-called life-and-death test refers to the way that monks who are approaching their lifespan choose to retreat and realize the Dao in order to break through the realm wholeheartedly.Once a breakthrough is made, it means that the cultivation base will be refined again, and the lifespan can be increased again, and it will go against the sky; and once it fails, it will be the end of death, and it is even possible to die silently without being known to outsiders.
That's why this kind of life-or-death retreat method is called sitting life and death.
That senior sword cultivator failed in the life-and-death test, and all his cultivation turned into sword energy, thus forming today's Sword Test Island.
It is said that the sword energy in the sword test island can not only increase the speed of the sword cultivator's practice of sword art and sword art, but also help the sword master to understand the sword art faster, especially the practice of tangible and intangible sword energy. At the same time, it has a multiplier effect with half the effort, so there are so many sword cultivators willing to plunge into it.
However, these are only places that are more beneficial to low-level swordsmen.
Sword cultivators from the Realm of Life, and even Soul Condensation Realm, entered it not for the so-called Dao of Swords practice to achieve twice the result with half the effort.This level of sword cultivator enters in order to pursue the inheritance of swordsmanship left by the legendary sword cultivator. At the same time as he came out, he transformed the essence of his life's kendo into fourteen sword pills and scattered them in the island of trying swords, leaving them for those who are destined.
Therefore, the kendo inheritance left by this great swordsman is called "Sword Dao Fourteen".
It is said that as long as you collect all fourteen sword pills, you can obtain this supreme swordsmanship that directly points to the bitter sea.Even if you don't get all fourteen sword pills, but only get one of them, and comprehend the one and a half moves inside, you can basically cultivate to the realm of life and soul, and become a strong swordsman - but a monk, after all, is a sword master. Greedy, getting one of these will inevitably want more.
For thousands of years, [-] of the [-] sword pills have been found, and now there are only [-] left in Jianjian Island.
But what's interesting is that Beihai Jiandao never seemed to want to occupy this kendo skill.They copied all the contents of the eleven sword pills they had obtained, and made an 11-yuan stele, erected in front of the mountain gate of Beihai Jianzong, allowing any sword cultivator to go and watch it—perhaps it was for this reason that they tried the sword The sword cultivators who got the sword pills on the island were quite happy to sell the sword pills in their hands to Beihai Jiandao in exchange for some training resources.
Anyway, even if they sell Jianwan to Beihai Jianzong, Beihai Jianzong will disclose this sword technique to the public, and they will not suffer a loss.
He even secretly laughed at Beihai Jianzong's behavior for being too mentally retarded, and it was almost a loss to his grandma's family.
Only Su Anran knows.
This is not Beihai Jiandao doing good deeds at all.
Back then, Huang Zi gave Beihai Jiandao this idea, and how could Huang Zi do such a great thing with his pissing nature.
This stuff is very insidious.
The 11 yuan trial sword stele announced by Beihai Jiandao has a hidden door inside.If someone really practiced according to the above content, although it is true that they can practice shocking swordsmanship and soul-condensing state, there is absolutely no problem, but it will also spoil their mood because of this. There is a feeling of being inferior, so when fighting against the sword cultivators of Beihai Jiandao, unless they suppress a large realm, they will hardly be opponents of Beihai Jiandao's sword cultivators.
And the most frightening thing is that no matter whether you have practiced the sword art "Fourteen Swordsmanship" announced by Beihai Jiandao, as long as you have watched it and understood the sword intent on the sword test tablet, even if it is a reference, you can learn from it. Walking out of his own way of swordsmanship, he also knows how to do it, so he is naturally a head shorter.
So much so that those sword cultivators who lost after confronting the sword cultivators of Beihai Jiandao didn't know why they lost at all.In the end, he could only sigh secretly that the sword cultivators of Beihai Jiandao were really good, and they were convinced by the defeat.
However, the other three holy lands of sword cultivation knew what was going on, so they strictly prohibited the ordinary disciples from watching the sword test stele, but they did not prevent those talented disciples from coming to watch and study.
To a certain extent, the set of swordsmanship announced by Beihai Jiandao indeed has a lot to learn from, and it can really play a great role and value in Jingjin Jianxiu's own swordsmanship.But if you want to learn and improve without side effects, the premise is absolute confidence in your own kendo and firmness in your own sword heart-to put it bluntly, you must have enough mental power and willpower. Trust wholeheartedly, then you deserve to be recruited.
Therefore, the other three holy lands of sword cultivators chose to remain silent about Beihai Jiandao's conspiracy-like strategy, and even used it as a means to sharpen their own disciples—it is not impossible for them to get rid of Beihai Jiandao's hidden dangers. The influence of the inner demon on the stone tablet is just more troublesome, so I don't want to waste time on ordinary disciples, even if the core disciples are not very talented, once they are recruited, they will be directly abandoned by the sect.
Su Anran knew the problems, so he didn't even bother to look at these steles.
It's not that he is afraid, but that he doesn't need to improve his way of swordsmanship in this way.
From the moment he started learning "Nine Forms of Absolute Sword", his future path of swordsmanship was already doomed. It was enough to grow up step by step, and he needed to do some fancy things.
And the reason why he wanted to try Sword Island was only to test the sword energy perception in Sword Island.
He wants to practice invisible sword energy in it!
This is an agreement between him and Fourth Senior Sister Ye Jinxuan.
Although Ye Jinxuan is still unconscious, Su Anran still hopes to take this opportunity to master the invisible sword energy, and then when the fourth senior sister wakes up, he can give himself a small surprise for the fourth senior sister.
……
The spirit boat arrived at Sword Test Island soon.
There were three spirit boats that came here this time, none of them were large spirit boats, and each boat only carried one to two hundred people.
Two of them are all disciples of Beihai Jiandao.
Only the third spirit boat boarded more than 20 sword cultivators from various sects.
Su Anran didn't care about those disciples of Beihai Jiandao, because these disciples of Beihai Jiandao were only in the realm of Tongqiao and Yunling, and they didn't have the realm of life and soul. The North Sea Sword Island disciples in Jiandao are generally divided into two categories: the first category is the disciples below the natal realm, and these are the disciples who really enter the sword island to understand the way of swordsmanship; the other category is the natal and soul-condensing The disciples of Beihai Sword Island, their main purpose of entering Sword Test Island is to find Jianwan, and their understanding of the way of swords can only be regarded as incidental.
Of course, he also ignored sword cultivators from other sects.
He didn't come to look for Jianwan, so basically there would be no conflicts with these sword cultivators.
When the spirit boat arrived at Sword Test Island, the monks on the spirit boat began to come down one after another.
After converging in twos and threes, these sword repairmen jumped directly towards a small lake.
Su Anran blinked in a daze.
The size of this small lake is not large, or rather than a lake, it is more like a small pond.It looked like one of those ponds formed when enough rainwater accumulates in pits of earth as a result of continuous torrential downpours.It's just that the water surface of this pond is sparkling, and the water quality is extremely clear and transparent, so it gives people a little more aura of this pond.
Su Anran saw that most of the sword cultivators had normal expressions on their faces, and only a small number of sword cultivators showed doubts and confusion, so the veterans and novices were instantly distinguished - at this moment, Su Anran felt a little helpless in her heart Yes, because he had learned a lot of information about Sword Test Island from the third senior sister, but unfortunately, his third senior sister didn't tell him how to enter the sword test island, which made Su Anran feel quite helpless.
However, he saw that the way those people entered seemed to be very simple, and then he thought of the experience of entering from the pool once when he was in the Illusion Divine Sea, so after hesitating for a while, Su Anran chose to walk directly like the others Jump into the pond.
The next moment, a terrifying cold feeling enveloped Su Anran's whole body in an instant!
Chapter 071
Sword Qi!
Su Anran's face changed slightly.
Then the next second, he understood.
The water in this pond is not ordinary water at all, it is all liquefied from the purest sword energy.
Rather than saying that this is a pond, it is better to say that this is a sword pond!
Damn, I was cheated!
Those sword cultivators who dared to jump directly in all spurted out the sword energy all over their bodies, protected their bodies, and assimilated themselves into sword energy.But Su Anran had no experience at all, so she just jumped down carelessly, it was as conspicuous as dropping a piece of meat in a pool full of piranhas.
Countless sword qi rushed towards Su Anran in an instant. At this time, it was too late for Su Anran to urge the sword qi to protect the body.
Therefore, the reason why those sword cultivators who came in before did not make it clear was that they wanted to see the rookies make a fool of themselves.
