Wang Chuxuan was pressed into prison.

A cell surrounded by wooden sticks on three sides, with nothing but a bed covered with straw mats and a bucket of water.

There were unrecognizable scratches on the black and yellow mottled sand walls, very similar to dried blood.

No one came to torture him, no one asked him anything, and he was quietly imprisoned for several days, with officers and soldiers coming to deliver food twice a day.

At noon on the tenth day, the cell door was opened, and two officers entered. A square face with a dark complexion.

The other was tall and handsome in white, with deep eye sockets like an abyss, but his eyes were as cold as knives, with swords and beautiful patterns.

The man with a national character face shouted at Wang Chuxuan: "You are a cheap thing, and you don't report your name!"

Chu Xuan replied softly, "Wang Chuxuan." ”

"What did you do?"

Wang Chuxuan was worried about being beaten, so he shook his head and didn't dare to answer.

Seeing that Wang Chuxuan was silent, Guozi was immediately furious: "Brother Haonian, this little thief is very stubborn, Lao Tzu sees that he is still a child, and he can't bear to do it, but he doesn't take Lao Tzu in his eyes, before you kill him, Lao Tzu will loosen his muscles and bones for him." ”

As he spoke, he took out an iron rod covered with spikes from his back, and entered the prison with a smirk.

Wang Chuxuan said hurriedly while hiding: "Big brother, we have something to say, I'll say whatever you ask, ah... It hurts, it hurts, you don't have any patience. ”

Guozi Face was even more irritable when he heard it, and said loudly at the moment: "When is your turn to speak, don't make noise, see if I don't beat your mouth to pieces!"

Wang Chuxuan was beaten to the ground, but his heart was released because of all kinds of unbearable emotions after being reborn.

Angry shouted, "I didn't kill anyone... Two didn't hit anyone, oops, hiss... You beat Lao Tzu like this. Lao Tzu is dead today, and he will scold you to death. ”

The man known as Brother Hao sneered: "The young man has a little backbone, very good, Lao Li stop, this kid's life is mine." ”

Lao Li, who had a national character face, shouted: "Let Lao Tzu hit a few more times." ”

Hao Nian hurriedly grabbed him and said, "It's okay, I'll take this guy away and cut it after asking, you can go find other prisoners." ”

Wang Chuxuan sighed that the fate of these two people was as cheap as mustard, but he still shrank on the ground and stretched out his hand to point angrily at Lao Li and shouted: "I have recorded what you beat today, you bastard, don't let me touch you again, as long as I am alive, I will definitely get it back." ”

Lao Li sneered and applauded: "Admiration! At a young age, his tone is quite horizontal, just don't be scared to pee your pants for a while." ”

Wang Chuxuan was a little scared in his heart, but he was still stubborn, and just as he was about to speak, Hao Nian suddenly grabbed Wang Chuxuan's raised wrist, and walked out without waiting for Wang Chuxuan to stand up and drag it.

Wang Chuxuan was held on the ground, only to feel a huge force from his wrist, as if he was about to scratch his wrist bones in extreme pain, and he was carried out of the cell like a dead dog, walked out of the official office, and stopped at a huge dead tree outside the door.

Hao Nian took out the matching sword and swung it, the sword was too fast Wang Chuxuan was startled again and thought he was going to die, but he only felt the cold touch coming from his neck, and he was pressed against the sword, and he breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly stood up.

Hao Nian said in a low voice: "Who is your surname, where does your family live, and why did you come? ”

Wang Chuxuan raised his head slightly and said: "My name is Wang Chuxuan, if I am penniless and don't eat, I will be starved to death, so I will jump into the compound and steal food as a last resort, so you are going to kill someone?"

Hao Nian looked at the young man's eyes and continued to ask: "On that day, you burglarized and alerted the rich family's array spirit to come back to report the news, it was the bird you saw, the rich and noble family with the formation guard, you can break in, who are you? Are you an assassin or a spy from another country?"

Wang Chuxuan was surprised when he heard that his whereabouts were discovered, and it turned out that it was the same bird, and he could actually report the news.

Hao Nian urged, "Hurry up and answer the question, I don't have that good patience." ”

Wang Chuxuan hurriedly wronged: "Big brother, there must be some misunderstanding, I didn't feel anything when I climbed over the wall, I swear, I've been here since I opened my eyes, I haven't been anywhere else, really." ”

Hao Nian pondered Wang Chuxuan's words carefully, his tone sounded urgent and real, and he became confused.

Wang Chuxuan couldn't help but ask when he saw him in a daze: "You... Don't kill me, do you?"

Hao Nian seemed to have thought of something, his expression became a little gentler, and he drew his sword into the sheath and said, "It's just to scare you, theft is not a capital crime." The man who beat you on the street is called Wen Shouji, he is a scoundrel, and the power behind him is very huge, and you can't afford to provoke him. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The man who just beat you is called Li Gulin, you burglarized, according to David's law, you should be grounded for a few days and punished with ten rods, he was never serious when he executed, I helped count and cooperate with him in acting, there is no blood on your body, his subordinates are merciful, it will hurt for a while at most, and there is no need to hold grudges." ”

When Wang Chuxuan heard this, he immediately lowered his head and lifted his clothes to take a look, and it was indeed swollen a little, except for the pain, there was no major problem, and he finally relieved and said: "This hobby is very perverted, don't you just say it's over, this scares me." ”

Na Haonian said: "Where did you live before, can't you remember it at all?"

"Well, homeless. ”

Hao Nian continued: "The imperial court has regulations for homeless children, you can go to the academy to study at such an age, so be it! ”

Wang Chuxuan didn't react: "Wait, why do you let me go to school, what are you doing here?"

Hao Nian smiled and turned to leave, waved his hand and said, "I appreciate your backbone, and you can use it to serve the country after you have learned." Oh! After that, he laughed and left, leaving Chu Xuan, who was a little puzzled, stunned in place. 

Li Gulin, who was sitting on the steps outside the prison, was very interested in drawing turtles on the snow, and Hao Nian saw a dry cough from a distance.

Lao Li didn't look up, and said, "Let it go, what do you think of that kid?"

Hao Nian came to his side and patted Xue and sat down: "His eyes are thorough and his breath is steady, he didn't lie, he should have been traumatized and amnesia, he is arrogant and looks like a superior asset, which family is the son of." ”

"Is he a monk, then?"

"That young man doesn't have any spiritual harmony in his body, he can break into the house of a rich and noble, eighty percent of his body is sealed with a secret treasure that can break the formation, I sent him to the academy. ”

Lao Li was puzzled: "What! Isn't that the qualification too low, but the quota is limited." ”

Hao Nian sighed and said: "It's all the consciousness above, since this kid entered the city, he was monitored by the people above, I don't know what the people above want to observe him, after I catch him, let me observe all his behaviors first, and if there is value in cultivation, he will be sent to the academy, and if he is worthless, he will be killed." ”

Li Gulin thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, a few days ago, there was news that the four major powers were about to be chaotic, and our country was short of people, so you write down his characteristics to the academy, I believe that this is a good assassin seedling, and I will come back to assist you after completing my studies." ”

Hao Nianle said: "That's what you said! Look at you, clumsy, turtles are so ugly?"

Li Gulin's old face turned red and said: "His grandmother made fun of me, go and drink two cups, I will drink you like a turtle." ”

...... ......

Day 2.

Wang Chuxuan rested all night and his body was no longer painful, early in the morning he came to the end of the original road in the south of the city, only to see the academy built by the lake, the pavilion was tightly clustered and solemn, the small bamboo was planted in front of the building wall, and the path around the lake was quiet and tactful, the vermilion gate of the academy was open and you could see the square inside, and there was a black plaque on the door carrying a pair of stone lions in front of the door of the golden word "for the Chang Academy", a pair of couplets.

On one side of the couplet, "Knowing the male and guarding the female, always virtue does not leave, and returns to the baby." ”

On the other side, it is written "know the black and keep the white, be loyal, and return to the infinite".

Wang Chuxuan looked at the big head, he knew every word, and he didn't know what it meant when he was together.

Just as he was about to go inside, a soft voice called out, "Aren't you the boy from the other day?"

Wang Chuxuan looked back, and immediately became a little embarrassed, he actually happened to meet that Miss Yiqing here, Yiqing changed into the same white clothes as the students who entered and exited today, a pair of bright eyes flashed watery, very delicate and lovely were staring at him, and Chu Xuan, who had seen people, was still deeply attracted by this youthful atmosphere.

Yi Qing was also surprised by this little thief in front of him, at this moment he was tall and handsome, with a black robe lined with a hint of ease, gentle and lonely between his eyebrows, what kind of person is this, he was still grizzled when he met a few days ago, and he looks so good today!

The atmosphere was a little strange, and Wang Chuxuan took the lead in coughing dryly: "That... Miss Yiqing, hello, a few days ago I was really forced to do so, that... Thank you very much, but it's a pity that I couldn't protect those steamed buns that day. ”

Yiqing smiled: "Then next time you have to protect the steamed buns, after you left that day, I heard that you were caught by the government, I sent Uncle Tang to explain, and the detention told me not to meddle in this matter, but I didn't expect to meet you here again, the change is too great, your face was swollen that day... Ahem, you're in good health, oh, I didn't report to the official, it should be that you alarmed the spirit, are you very powerful?"

"Aha, I don't even know how powerful I am, you don't have to say that I believe you, even if I don't know about it, I will believe you. ”

Yiqing smiled and said, "Then I want to thank you for your trust." ”

The two looked at each other, and seeing Yiqing's smile like a spring breeze, Wang Chuxuan felt his heart heat and hurriedly looked away.

The two walked into the courtyard, where many teenagers and girls were already standing, and the teacher closed the door after counting the number of applicants.

Yiqing asked in surprise, "You are also a student who came to enroll?"

Wang Chuxuan nodded.

Yi Qing was about to say more, the sky suddenly sounded a sound of breaking the sky, a white light flashed, and landed on the podium, a handsome middle-aged man stood in front of him suddenly, the landing speed was too fast, the ground was smashed out of a big hole, and the teenagers looked dumbfounded.

A few people who were teaching and dressing up arched their hands beside them and said, "Meet Dean Deng Xian." ”

Wang Chuxuan pointed at the dean loudly and exclaimed, "Damn!

Everyone looked back at him when they heard this, and their eyes turned to the idiot.

Wang Chuxuan was stared at uncomfortably, and scratched his head embarrassedly.

The dean didn't expect the well-designed style to appear, and was inexplicably disturbed by a stinky boy who had never seen the world, and glanced at Wang Chuxuan angrily.

Wang Chuxuan was still shocked in his heart, and asked Yiqing in a low voice: "Isn't he an immortal?

Yi Qing smiled patiently and said: "How can there be a god in the world, he is a warrior, he jumps, he jumps, you look at that pit, the stone slab cracks and the clods collapse, it is because he is too strong to smash it, the dean is a high-level warrior, a strength type." ”

Wang Chuxuan's cognition was touched by the rocks, and his mouth grew big, it turned out that he could cultivate here, his eyes were hot, and he stared at the dean with admiration on his face.

The dean shuddered as if sensing this evil gaze, and immediately became alert to the fact that the image was not good.

picked up the manuscript and immediately shouted: "Hold the elephant, the world will go." Go and don't hurt, Anping too. Huh?" the dean broke out in a cold sweat, picked up the manuscript and flipped it back and forth, and saw the words "Tao Te Ching" written on the back and immediately received it behind it.

The teaching and training group covered their heads, and the dean took the wrong manuscript, but fortunately, the students were relatively young and didn't notice it.

After thinking for a while, he coughed dryly and said: "Then first of all, congratulations to all the students, you have all become a part of the academy, the sentence just now was said by the sage, it should be a subject for you, I won't explain what it means, I also hope that you will not forget your roots." Ahem, then without further ado, Mingma and Long Yu came to the stage to talk about the rules of the Sorting House. ”
