5. Darkness is coming
Night, Chai House. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chai Rong's dinner was tasteless.
In just a few months, my father and eldest brother died, and they still have to endure the seizure.
The only fortunate thing is that my mother returned to her parents' home and escaped. After asking the people in the house, it is almost certain that it is Yan Li who colludes with Li Xiangjun.
During the day, he tried all kinds of methods to probe him, but he couldn't get a little information about the "second gentleman" from the mouth of the ghost hand, and he was only warned not to provoke him.
After dinner, he saw the vacancy where the ghost hand had left, and said to Gong Yanjun: "Senior brother, I have something to say to you, come with me." ”
Gong Yanjun followed him and came to a secluded place, only to hear Chai Rong say: "You came back to Qingyaji, in addition to helping me find the murderer, there is another purpose, right?"
Gong Yanjun said: "Senior brother still understands me." ”
Chai Rong smiled faintly and said, "Li Xiangjun." ”
Gong Yanjun said with a smile: "Li Xiangjun is worthy of being the first beauty in Bingzhou, with that appearance and figure, I really don't know how happy I will be when I am pressed under my body." ”
He gritted his teeth and said, "But you also saw it, the ghost hand didn't let me provoke that person, and when you got the quota tomorrow, we will have to go back to Lin'an." Damn, I can't see it or not, it's uncomfortable to die. Hey, no, let's go to Cuiyan Building secretly at night, right?"
Chai Rong's eyes flickered, and he said, "Don't go at night, but I have a plan, as long as you listen to me, you can have her forever, and you can play with her as much as you want." ”
Gong Yanjun thought of that scene, his lower abdomen was hot, and his heart was itching, so he hurriedly pulled him and asked, "Say it quickly!"
"Come here. Chai Rong said.
Gong Yanjun hurriedly clung to it.
Chai Rong said in his ear.
Gong Yanjun's eyes lit up first, and then he frowned and said, "However, the ghost hand will never agree to me doing this." ”
Chai Rong said lightly: "When I take the assessment tomorrow, you will send him to me under the pretext of playing in the city." ”
"This ......" Gong Yanjun was still a little hesitant.
Chai Rong's eyes were cold, and he said, "If you're worried that Yan Li is making trouble for the Gong family, you don't have to, he won't be able to leave the examination room tomorrow!"
"Are you sure?" Gong Yanjun's eyes widened.
Chai Rongyin sneered: "The second round of the assessment is 'Meditation', his cultivation will not exceed the fifth grade at most, and I have bought off those candidates who are not bad a long time ago, what do you say will happen to him if we join forces?"
Gong Yanjun was overjoyed and said: "Senior brother really has no last resort, then I will leave everything to you!"
……
The next day, Yan Li got up early as usual and finished washing, and a maidservant girl came, saying that the owner of Qingteng Courtyard had been invited.
Yan Li walked over slowly, and sighed: "You said that we eat and drink here for nothing, and there is an Oiran reception, is this a life spent by the gods?"
The burly man thought about it seriously and said, "No. ”
The maidservant girl secretly glanced at the two of them, and she had already regarded Yan Li as a little white face with better piano skills, and she completely forgot that she cried when she heard Yan Li's piano the night before.
Yan Li glanced at the burly man and said, "I know, you have always wanted to open a wine shop, let's take the quota today and set off, and you can open it when you get to Yongling." ”
"Really?" the burly man's face, which had not changed much, was actually a little excited.
Yan Li said lightly: "You are too conspicuous, I am not easy to do." But don't expect me to pay, I don't have a penny. ”
When the maidservant heard this, her eyes were already filled with contempt.
The burly man showed a rare smile and said, "I have." ”
When I came to Qingteng Academy, I saw Li Xiangjun greeted me with a smile and said, "I have prepared breakfast for you, let's go after eating." ”
Yan Li's eyes lit up, and she saw that she was wearing a blue and white gown today, the snow-white skirt just dragged to the ground, and the looming small golden lotus was wrapped in a pair of lilac round-toed embroidered shoes. Thin application of light makeup, more and more beautiful and shining, a pair of eyebrows bent, like a lingering smile, a bead flower of three thousand green silk poured down like a waterfall, and divided into two locks, draped on both shoulders, softly attached to both sides of the peak, adding a bit of tenderness like water.
"Dressed up so beautifully, aren't you going to meet a lover?" Yan Li smiled and sat down.
Breakfast is hot gruel with a few delicate side dishes, which makes people appetize when they look at it.
He was not polite, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat.
Li Xiangjun beckoned the burly man to sit down and gave him a blank look: "I can't stop your mouth." ”
Yan Li smiled at her, then turned her head to look, and suddenly was stunned, in the study, the place where "Ghosts and Gods" was hung yesterday was empty, thinking that she had put it away.
Are you afraid that you will get sick again?
Looking closely at her eyes, she looked as if nothing had happened.
Yan Li bent the corners of his mouth and said, "It's so strange, it was still there yesterday, why is it gone today?"
Li Xiangjun said lightly: "If you are talking about that painting, I will give it away." Have you finished eating, hurry up to the county office after eating, after the time limit, the examination room will not let you in, don't come to me again. ”
Yan Li stood up and said, "Aren't you going with me?"
Li Xiangjun frowned and said, "Mom said that there is a distinguished guest visiting today, and I can't leave." Besides, our deal is over, it's your own business to get a spot or not, don't come to me again. ”
Yan Li's eyes were full of smiles, and he said, "That's not good, forget what I said yesterday?" ”
"Who is going to wait for you!" Li Xiangjun's face flushed slightly.
The maid was dumbfounded, she had never seen Li Xiangjun show such a little daughter in front of anyone, it was so beautiful that she was so beautiful, and she was blushing as a woman.
When Yan Li walked out of the gate of Cuiyan Building, Li Xiangjun's special coachman was already waiting.
He didn't have the consciousness of "face to face" at all, and got into the car under the naked contemptuous gaze of the coachman, and when he arrived at the county office, it was just the hour.
There is only one place, but there are thirty or forty people competing.
The most basic qualification for the assessment is to awaken the real name, once you have not awakened the real name after the age of twenty, it can basically be judged that the qualification is inferior, and it is not worth spending energy on cultivation at all.
The assessment is divided into two sessions, the first of which is a literary examination. The essay test is very simple, that is, to write the "Arguments" silently.
There are three popular works in the land of Shenzhou, which have a profound impact on the imperial dynasty and even the surrounding foreign races, and the "Treatise" is one of them, which is written by the most wise and erudite Emperor Ling in history, covering a wide range of subjects, and the most praised is the examination, official, governance, peace, and strategy.
Examination is examination, official is for officials, governance is governance, equality is balance, and conspiracy is power scheme.
It doesn't matter if you can't read it, just remember every word and don't make mistakes.
Although Yan Li is not a well-educated person, it is still difficult for him to write silently.
More than an hour of silent writing, half an hour of review, two hours later, the first session ended.
But there were only six people who could make it to the next game.
Yan Li knew that most people were not unable to write silently, but they made mistakes, indicating that they were not focused enough, which was a taboo for cultivators.
Lunch was simply used in the county office, and at about noon, Fang County Ling finally appeared, said a word of encouragement to the eliminated candidates, and then took Yan Li and other candidates to the school field.
Yan Li found that the other five people were all looking at him as if they were looking at him as if they were nothing, and one of them was the second son of Chai, but they were all careful to hide their eyes.
The ghost hand also entered the school grounds, and he was also observing Yan Li.
Fang County Ling ascended the Xuanyuan Terrace, and the face of the big cake was a little more solemn, "As we all know, more than two hundred years ago, the imperial dynasty was facing the disaster of foreign races, and it was in danger. This is a chance, an opportunity that belongs to you, as a child of the Great Xia Dynasty, no matter who the final winner is, this official hopes that you will remember the spirit of Emperor Wu. Gossip and don't mention it, take the second assessment, and start preparing!"
Six mermaids came to the stage, and there were already six futons arranged, just forming a circle, and each sat around.
Sitting on the futon, Yan Li found that the eyes of the five people were no longer hiding, they were all full of malice, and at first they said that competition was inevitable, and it turned out to be premeditated.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly in a cold arc.
The second test is the candidate's ability to "think and visualize". Contemplation is the most basic ability of a practitioner, and after the awakening of the true name, one will naturally sink into this state and try to seize the vitality of heaven and earth, either to exercise the body, or to store it in the body for use against the enemy.
However, if the two contemplative cultivators are too close to each other, and the amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in a small area is limited, it will cause the true names of both sides to be revealed in the present world, and the battle will be fought on the spot, and the losing side will have their true names shattered at least and their lives at worst.
Therefore, this test is very dangerous, and the candidates have also signed the life and death certificate in advance, indicating that life and death are voluntary.
Chai Rong sat opposite Yan Li and said lightly: "Don't think I don't know, your cultivation will not exceed five grades at most, you killed my father and eldest brother and let you live one more day, it can be regarded as mercy." ”
Yan Li raised his eyebrows, but he was right by the other party, his cultivation was the sixth grade of a martial artist, which was one grade lower than Chai Rong.
"I am really touched by your kindness," he said lazily, "and as a token of my gratitude, I will send you to them free of charge." ”
A trace of green energy flashed on Chai Rong's face, and then he sneered: "I forgot to tell you that Li Xiangjun was ransomed, and now I'm afraid he has arrived in Lin'an." ”
Yan Li frowned and did not speak.
Seeing that the candidates were all ready, Fang County Ling immediately said, "I announce, the visualization begins!"
As soon as the words fell, a phantom shadow of a fire crow rose on Chai Rong's body.
Of course, it was just an illusion, Rao was like this, and the officers and soldiers such as Fang County Ling still widened their eyes.
"Qi and machine are intertwined, and the real name is beginning to appear, it turns out to be a fifth-class little celestial," the ghost hand's eyes flickered, "No wonder he will be accepted as a disciple by the master." ”
The more top-notch your real name is, the more unimaginable heights you can reach. Among the three categories of real names, the Faxiang is the most common one, divided into seven grades, don't underestimate the fifth-class small celestials, only one out of 10,000 cultivators will come out, and Qingyaji can produce a fifth-class, which is rare to see in a hundred years.
So everyone was stunned, and the county order was even more overjoyed, this county issued a fifth-class real name, which can be said to have added a lot of money to the performance appraisal, and as long as the academy verifies it, he is expected to be promoted!
At this time, the rest of the people also released their real names, all of them were similar to the Fa, but they didn't even have a meager qi engine, and they weren't even ranked seventh or human, just the most common astrological signs.
Except for Chai Rong, these people are already the best cultivators in Qingyaji, but they don't even have a seventh-rank real name, and the rarity of the fifth-rank can be seen.
As if colluding, they invariably grabbed the vitality of Yan Li's surroundings, which was a posture that made him unable to even reveal his real name.
Everyone's eyes were naturally focused on Yan Li. But he still closed his eyes, as if he were trying to visualize.
"Although he is the son of that adult, this qualification is really not good. ”
A thick disdain flashed in the eyes of the ghost hand, although the real name is illusory, but it is extremely proud, the more the top real name, the more unbearable it is to be provoked, if Yan Li has a top real name, he would have jumped out by himself a long time ago.
Fang Xian Ling shook his head regretfully, obviously thinking that Yan Li had lost.
Feeling the eyes of the people around him become awe-inspiring, Chai Rong's depression in the past two days was swept away. He sneered and observed Yan Li, who was still trying to visualize, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of insight into the overall situation and the pleasure of being in control.
At this moment, Yan Li suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely strong dead ash flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Then, darkness fell.
