Qin Bai said earnestly: "Thirteenth Senior Sister, do you want to go to visit the illness too? Senior Brother is also your ex's dream lover." ”

Yanling: "......" again!

Qin Bai shook his head and said, "Isn't there a saying that buying and selling is not benevolent?"

Yan Ling took a deep breath, smiled, and looked at Qin Bai, her eyes were like a black hole spinning at high speed.

Qin Bai: "...... Hey, Senior Sister Thirteen, why are you looking at me like that? Wow, don't look at me like that, I'm scared ......."

——This dialogue ends with Yan Ling's vomiting of blood and Qin Bai's desertion and escape.

In all kinds of miscellaneous work, most of the time of half a month passed in a flash. The final assessment of the preparatory disciples, as mentioned earlier, has finally arrived.

There are more than 60 preparatory disciples recruited this time. After this assessment, at least half of the people will be eliminated. Those who are eliminated have to pack up and go home.

The assessment topics are different every year, and this year, the head of the Artemisia Mountain faction finally posted the topic and announced it-

In the depths of Yanshan, the Artemisia Mountain Sect would place one hundred and twenty numbered pieces of iron the size of copper coins, some of which might be in the treetops, some of which might be in the dirt, and a number of traps and traps - all of which, of course, would not be lethal. Everyone needs to enter the depths of Yanshan alone, without any external assistance, within three days, find any five pieces of iron, and return to the Artemisia Mountain Sect, even if they officially become a disciple. During those three days, you need to take care of your own food and accommodation.

There was an uproar among the people—one hundred and twenty pieces of iron, five for each of them, that is, this time, only twenty-four people at most could be elected to the faction—why at most? Because not everyone could find five, and it was difficult to guarantee whether the five pieces that belonged to one person would be divided among five different people, and in the end none of those five people could be admitted.

It is said that there are many spirits in the depths of Yanshan, but there are no large carnivorous beasts, so they will not be very dangerous. The real danger may come from competing opponents.

As mentioned above, if you don't find as many as five pieces, and you happen to see that someone else has a leftover, then some people will get up and want to snatch the piece of iron in someone else's hand.

Yanling stood beside He Jianshuang and looked up at the topic together. He Jianshuang's side face was very calm, but Yanling was a little uneasy.

Originally, as a divine beast, she was not worried. However, it was cloudy for most of the month, in other words, she hadn't absorbed Yuehua for a long time. Now there is only about one-third of the moon in Neidanri left.

Can this one-third of the remaining energy survive the whole process of the final assessment?

*

In the early morning of the day of the final assessment, under the stone gate of the main gate of the Artemisia Mountain Sect, the preparatory disciples were already waiting there. This time, the head of the assessment has been handed over to Mei Yanzhi to supervise. The incense burner was lit with three thick sticks of incense, which would be extinguished after three days of burning. If you don't come back before it is extinguished, even if you collect all five pieces of iron, it is equivalent to losing the qualification to join the faction.

The requirements are very strict, and many disciples are waiting for them. Mei Yanzhi's face was cold, and he looked around, and his voice of frolicking and discussion suddenly lowered. Yan Ling thought for a moment - it seems that Mei Yanzhi's prestige in the Artemisia Mountain Sect is still quite high.

One by one, they took turns writing their names on paper for the record, and after Yanling finished writing her name, she handed the pen to He Jianshuang behind her. Seeing He Jianshuang staring at her name, Yan Ling was puzzled: "What's wrong?

He Jianshuang turned his head: "It's okay." ”

It turned out that she was not called Yanling, but Yanling......

The senior disciples led the preparatory disciples into the mountain one by one and let them enter the mountain from different places, so that they would not form a gang from the beginning. Of course, if they meet in the mountains, they have to cooperate with each other, and the Artemisia Mountain faction can't do anything about them. At least get the start right and reduce the likelihood that they will work together.

In the crowd, it was not Yanling's turn yet. She searched the crowd for He Jianshuang's traces, and sure enough, she saw him not far away. Among the preparatory disciples, He Jianshuang was just a slightly thin teenager, but his temperament made him look outstanding.

Speaking of which, although he and Mei Yanzhi have very different personalities, when they don't speak, they have a very similar temperament in their eyes - calm and transparent, and they are restrained. In comparison, Mei Yanzhi is more handsome than He Jianshuang, and He Jianshuang is a little more beautiful and feminine because of his eyebrows and eyes.

Yan Ling touched her chin, she wasn't worried about whether He Jianshuang would be able to pass the assessment - anyway, he would definitely be able to enter the Artemisia Mountain Sect in the end.

In the future, if it weren't for fate, He Jianshuang might have become a great hero, as famous as Mei Yanzhi and others.

She needed to worry about herself. If she can't pass the assessment, she won't be able to stay in the Artemisia Mountain Sect and witness the growth and change of He Jianshuang.

Looking at it from a distance, it was already He Jianshuang's turn to leave. Yan Ling looked at him, He saw that Shuang seemed to be aware, looked back at Yan Ling, Yan Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled, waved his hand at him, and said, "Be careful!"

He Jianshuang was stunned, Yanling had already turned around and burrowed into the crowd.

Soon it will be Yanling's turn. The person who took her into the mountain was a familiar face - it happened to be when he was discussing the abstinence system in the corridor that day, and the second senior brother who came up to talk seemed to be called Yu Yiqing.

Yu Yiqing obviously remembered Yanling as well, and a little narrowness flashed in his eyes. Fortunately, he glanced at Mei Yanzhi's side for a while, and Mei Yanzhi also happened to look at this side, and Yu Yiqing sighed twice.

Yan Ling: "......"

She felt a little embarrassed, so she said, when will everyone forget about her past convictions. (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Yu Yiqing put Yanling's hand on his shoulder and ordered, "Okay, hurry up." ”

Yan Ling: "?"

The next moment, he hugged Yanling's shoulders and suddenly ran forward with luck. Yan Ling screamed, and was immediately led down to the depths of Yan Mountain.

Yu Yiqing landed smoothly, Yan Ling's face turned pale, and she suddenly experienced a stupid pig jump, she was a little dizzy, and she wanted to vomit.

"Are you dizzy?" Yu Yiqing laughed, let go of his hand, and pointed to the woods in front of him: "Okay, little junior sister who likes to pick up clothes, you should go by yourself on the road ahead." ”

Yan Ling: "......"

Yu Yiqing had already turned to leave, tiptoe slightly, jumping in the forest. Yanling's face darkened - well, now is not the time to get angry, the final assessment is much more important.

Loosening the muscles of her arms, Yanling looked at the dense forest in the distance, and decided to explain her name to Yu Yiqing in the future, and then walked alone into the forest.

Walking into the forest, there is no trace of artificial construction in the surrounding lush mountain forest, but there are no large animals, and occasionally squirrels or forest birds skim over the trees, brushing the branches of the dense forest and shedding a few patches of sunlight.

Along the way, Yanling was worried about whether she would encounter a wild boar - wild boars are strange creatures that don't attack lightly, but once they identify their targets, it is possible to chase you for a long time. Soon, she noticed that in this dense forest, larger animals, such as foxes and wild boar cubs, would consciously avoid her when they saw her approaching.

Yan Ling looked at her hands—was this because her real body was a spirit that Yan Shan had turned into?

How do you find five pieces of iron? Carpet search? How long does it take to find them!

Yanling gently closed her eyes and listened to her feelings. Since coming to this body, her senses of hearing, smell, and vision have expanded a lot, and she may be able to find some clues.

That's it, until late in the evening, when she finally found two pieces of iron. The temperature in the mountains dropped quickly, and it was getting late, so Yanling stopped looking, found a clearing in the forest, and made a fire. Not for animal protection, just for heating and lighting.

It is often seen in film and television dramas that even if it is late at night, there is enough brightness in the mountains and forests for the protagonist to move. However, in fact, in the depths of Yanshan at night, it can almost be described as reaching out without seeing five fingers. The moon was dim, the clouds were shrouded, the branches and leaves were black, and the vines fluttered slightly, dancing gently like ghosts. The sound of the wind howling through the valley was terrifying, interspersed with the distant howls of beasts.

Sitting in front of the fire, Yanling picked some wild fruits and took out two pieces of iron, which were engraved with fine patterns. If you do it at this speed, you can get the job done. I wonder how He Jianshuang's progress is now?

In other words, the identity of this mythical beast is also interesting, for so long, even the reptile has not approached her.

A strong sense of danger made Yan Ling slightly startled, and instantly looked at the bushes in the distance - there were people hiding there!

The shadows of the trees are swaying, and the night is dark.

Yanling stood up, tensed her whole body, looked at the bushes in front of her vigilantly, and shouted, "Who? Get out!"

The bushes rustled, and a short, but very stout man dressed in the clothes of a preparatory disciple of the Artemisia Mountain Sect came out of it. His gaze lingered on Yan Ling's face and slightly thin figure for a while, and after confirming that this was just a girl, the man's gaze became presumptuous, staring straight at Yan Ling, and the greed in his eyes was very obvious: "I saw that you have two pieces of iron, how about giving them to the eldest brother?"

Yan Ling said coldly: "Think beautifully." ”

"Don't toast and don't eat and drink!" The man's face changed, and he moved his wrist joints again, his muscles bulged, and he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, glowing with a cold light: "To give, or not to give?"

"No!" Yan Ling turned around and swooped into the dense forest.

"Stinky!" the man hurriedly chased after him.

In the dark night, Yanling's eyes are extremely clear, and can even be described as clear - thanks to the identity of the divine beast, her vision at night is much better than that of humans. In such a dark forest, she could see the obstacles in front of her and drill nimbly. But at the same time, the moon in the dantian ...... It also seems to be rapidly decreasing.
