Chapter 1 Sun and Moon Academy
The Holy Light Continent, the North Wind Country, the Sun and Moon Mountains.
Today is the day of enrollment for Sun Moon Academy in the North Wind Country.
The Sun Moon Mountain, where the main peak of the Sun Moon Academy is located, is towering into the clouds, majestic, and ethereal. At this time, the sky was just bright, and there were already a lot of people standing at the foot of the mountain, chattering and arguing, looking around, all of them were children who looked a little immature, and the children's excited faces were a little red, and they were discussing something with their friends loudly, or expressing their longing for the Sun and Moon Academy, or expressing their nervous and excited emotions, warm and vibrant.
Enrollment once every 50 years, only 100 people are accepted each time, and only those under the age of 15 are admitted, this strict condition discourages many people, and many geniuses can only regret their lives if they are not born at the right time. This kind of grand event has made the entire North Wind Country continue to be lively for several months, and almost all the children who meet the conditions in the country have rushed to Sun Moon Mountain a few months ago or a few days ago to participate in the enrollment of Sun Moon Academy, for fear of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As the top school in the North Wind Country, even if these lucky children simply took the entrance exam, just by stepping into the Sun Moon Mountain, it was enough for them to show off for a lifetime.
After all, Sun Moon Mountain is only open to the public when enrollment, and there is only one area where these children can wait, after all, this Sun Moon Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, saying that it is a mountain, in fact, it is the main peak of the front of the mountain range, if you let the children stand casually, I am afraid that they will get lost in it, and the mountains of Sun and Moon are firmly protected by the formation at ordinary times, not to mention irrelevant outsiders, even wolves, insects, tigers and leopards are not allowed to enter at all, and they are isolated from the world like a paradise.
Mo Ying was also in the crowd.
He seemed to be the opposite of the agitation of the others, he just folded his hands around his chest, leaned quietly against a rock in the middle of nowhere, and said nothing. Compared to the children around him, being out of place should be the best explanation for his state at this time.
It was as if he had become a small world of his own, completely separating the people around him, and waiting for the test to start in his own small circle. He doesn't take the initiative to talk to people, and occasionally someone wants to talk to him, and he still leans there quietly as if he didn't hear it, ignoring the enthusiastic children. Over time, no one was uninterested in talking to him anymore, and he stood there like a beautiful statue.
Although there are still a lot of people around him who are noisy.
At this time, there is no quiet and unmanned place at the foot of the mountain, almost all the qualified children from all over the country have rushed to participate in the test, and there are many children who know that they are not up to standard and are slightly older or have no special abilities to join in the fun, after all, such a grand event, when they come to see the world, they can also benefit a lot, so even if the elderly are not allowed to come in here, there are still a lot of people crowded here, children are more noisy than adults, and the sharp and high voice is endless, even if Mo Ying's location is a little remote, it is still full of people。
Mo Ying raised his eyes, his gaze faintly swept over the collar of faint white light on the neck of each teenager present, the white light and the necks of the teenagers who were slightly red due to excitement reflected each other, it looked extremely dazzling, Mo Ying raised his hand and touched the circle around his neck that also emitted white light, and patted his chest with a strange movement as if praying, I don't know what I thought, and the porcelain jade-like immature little face suddenly rose
An indescribable smile is fleeting.
In the midst of the teenagers' chatter, time passed quickly, and at this time the sky was already bright, and the hour had arrived, and it was the time for the entrance exams to begin.
"It's time!" I don't know who was the first to shout, all the children were even more excited, "Are you coming!" For a while, the noise was even louder, Mo Ying only felt that his eardrums were going to explode, he didn't understand what was so exciting about these heats, and he couldn't understand the behavior of several children holding each other's hands and jumping up and screaming.
It's so stupid, Mo Ying thought, and by the way, he covered his ears irritably with his hands.
"Boom"
After a loud bang, the top of the mountain was brightly lit, even in the bright daylight, even on the top of the towering mountain, a very thick white mixed with golden pillars of light was still clearly visible, with a loud and long roar, like an ancient and majestic dragon, as if it wanted to break through some confinement, and rushed to the higher heavens with extremely strong strength.
The teenagers at the bottom of the mountain couldn't help but scream, and their energetic faces were full of longing, as if they longed that one day they would rise to the sky like this light.
The gate of Sun Moon Mountain is open......
Even in the mountain village on the edge of the North Wind Country, people from several distant places in the Sun Moon Mountain have seen such a scene from afar.
The old man who was plowing the field put down his hoe, the old man who was telling the story forgot to speak, the woman who was drinking tea put down the teacup, and countless people like him stopped what he was doing, and all looked at the dazzling pillar of light in the distance, and their eyes showed emotions of remembrance or happiness, they were thinking back to their high-spirited youth.
After the pillar of light lasted for dozens of breaths, it exploded like the most brilliant fireworks, turning into a little bit of light in the sky, like rain formed by the falling stars.
Later, the residents of the North Wind Country who saw this scene said that it was a shocking and beautiful sight that they will never forget.
The dazzling but strangely soft white-gold light slowly landed at the foot of the mountain, as if the gods were coming.
The children at the foot of Riyue Mountain all stopped making noise, and even forgot to breathe, they closed their eyes one by one, opened their arms, and were shrouded in these white-gold lights with a smile, as if bathed in holy light. They were so calm, like kind and peaceful little angels, if you ignore the red and hot cheeks from the excitement just now.
Maybe it's really the Holy Light, Mo Ying thought to himself.
Mo Ying looked around, looked at the whiter collars on the children's necks, looked at their happy expressions, clenched his fists, resisted the urge to vomit, followed the example of others, and opened his arms.
After the holy light enveloped all the children, the light flashed, and the children who were still bathed in the light on the ground disappeared, and the foot of the mountain that had been crowded with people before instantly became empty. Sun Moon Mountain was quiet again, or rather silent, as it had been for the previous fifty years, and no one had come.
Mo Ying only felt a moment of dizziness, and when he came to his senses and opened his eyes again, he was already on the top of the mountain.
Although it is on the top of the mountain, it is standing smoothly and steadily, and the whole mountain has been cut into a plane, and the section is neat, as if it has been cut by some figure who has penetrated the heavens and the earth.
The ground was made into a smooth slate by special means, and it was engraved with mysterious dark golden lines, and the golden lines on the ground seemed to be alive and wandered around on the ground, but when you looked at it again, it was still, as if it was moving and static, and it was extremely mysterious, Mo Ying stared at the ground for a long time, and felt that his soul was almost sucked into the golden lines.
The edge is surrounded by a circle of short, delicately carved jade guardrails with dragons - if the things that are not as long as the calf are considered guardrails, there are the number of Tiangang, and the thirty-six short pillars are connected by several thick lines like jade, how can jade be made of lines, but the line looks like jade but can't tell the material, the jade line flutters with the wind, occasionally reflects a few times of sunlight, crystal clear, wonderful.
In the center of the top of the mountain is a huge well-like thing, which is said to be a well, but there is no water, and it is not bottomless, but it is about that shape, but it is many times larger, and I can't tell what material it is made of, but it feels mysterious and atmospheric. The well was arched upwards by a circle of steps, as high as the stars and the moon, and the white-gold light that had previously emitted it should have come from here. Nothing else.
This mountaintop, except for the people standing on it, is indeed a little empty. I haven't seen the signboard or building of the academy, so I guess I haven't really arrived at my destination yet.
The surrounding teenagers also opened their eyes one after another, and the people standing on the edge were a little weak after seeing the situation, and some of them were timid and shouted directly, after all, standing on such a high mountain, they couldn't see the bottom when they looked down, and the guardrail next to them was low and useless, they could only secretly congratulate themselves that they had just stood firm, and did not shake left and right, which could be described as a lifelong regret if they accidentally fell.
But, "Where is the Academy?" I don't know who made the first noise, the chattering was loud from small to loud, yes, what about the Academy? There was nothing else on the top of this whole hill except the well, could it be that something had gone wrong and had been teleported somewhere else?
Before the doubts could ferment, a thunderous voice came into the ears of everyone present.
Test Begins.
There were no superfluous words, just a short four words that abruptly reached everyone's ears.
Test start?How to test?What to test?
A group of children looked around in confusion, looking at each other. The children had not yet cleared up their doubts about where the academy was, and at this time the second wave of doubts began.
"Boom"
It didn't take long for a cylindrical light curtain to slowly rise around the edge of the well around the edge of the well, and the light curtain was hollow, just around the edge of the well, like a cylinder.
I saw that the light curtain was clearly written: enter this light curtain to pass the first stage of the test.
Through a light curtain?
This should be to screen out the qualified children, those over fifteen years old, without special abilities, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter, Mo Ying looked at the slowly rotating light curtain, and thought to himself.
But although the well has a bottom, it is not shallow, and for these half-grown children, it seems a little far-reaching, what should they do after entering the light curtain? Fall into the bottom of the well and be either killed or injured? Or immediately use their own ability to find a way to land at the bottom of the well?
For a while, the originally excited teenagers were all standing firmly in place, each with their own thoughts, and no one dared to step forward without permission.
"Ah!!" A flat-headed boy standing near the light curtain finally couldn't help but take the lead in breaking the silence, he closed his eyes and ran towards the light curtain, with a great momentum of fighting for his life, after the flat head passed the light curtain smoothly, he did not fall as expected, but was steadily dragged by an unknown force, as if walking on the ground.
Xiao Pingtou closed his eyes tightly for a while before he realized that he did not have the expected feeling of falling, he quickly opened his eyes to confirm, and after discovering the mystery, he shouted to his friends outside the aperture, "Come in!
Hearing this, the teenagers who reacted became commotion again, and those who were close immediately rushed into the light curtain, but some people were actually rebounded by the light curtain and flew far away, while others walked in smoothly without any hindrance.
Seeing this situation, some of the teenagers who want to mix in also guessed the reason why they will be rebounded, after all, they know that they are not qualified, they originally came with the mentality of luck, they are a little weak-hearted, after watching for a while, most of them will not go forward to try, but there are also some who do not give up, after all, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, gritted their teeth and rushed into the light curtain with all their might, but the light curtain rebounded farther, and they fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping.
Mo Ying looked at the white light on the necks of the people who were bounced to the ground a little dimmed, and there seemed to be some mockery on his face, he has always looked down on people who are not self-conscious, it is good to dare to try, but it is not the courage of a reckless man who deceives his heart.
He withdrew his gaze, reverently touched the white circle around his neck, and walked in without squinting.
