Chapter 5: Preparing for the Exam

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Meng Fanyu shouted, waking up Meng Xiaotian in his memory.

"Grandpa, you still call me Xiaotian, in my heart, I already regard you and Xiaoyu as my relatives, and you call His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems too outward." Meng Xiaotian took Xiao Ding to Meng Fanyu's bed and said.

"Okay, little heaven." Meng Fanyu nodded and said, "You have to keep this Xiaoding well, I hope you can get the great cultivation inside." ”

"Okay, grandpa, I'll keep it." Meng Xiaotian found a cloth bag, put Xiao Ding in his pocket, and put it in his arms.

"Xiaotian, our whereabouts have been exposed, Chen Guo's spies have found here, although I killed those three spies, but I also fell for their Gu poison, these Chen State spies, I don't know where I got the Gu poison of the Five Poisons Sect, and I don't know if the scum of the Five Poisons Sect has taken refuge in Chen Guo, it's not safe here, I'm seriously injured, and I don't have much time to live, you don't have to worry about me, take Xiaoyu, hurry up." Meng Fanyu said anxiously.

"Grandpa, what do you say, how can I ignore you, if you want to die, everyone will die together." Meng Xiaotian looked at Meng Fanyu and said categorically.

"Silly boy, you must live, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you have the responsibility of recovering the country, how can you be stupid and wait here to die, you hurry up, otherwise, I will cut off the meridians and die in front of you immediately." Meng Fanyu said loudly and vigorously.

"Ahem......" Meng Fanyu coughed again, the corners of his mouth were bloody, his face was even paler, and the black mist in the center of his eyebrows stretched out his tentacles again, and he was like a living thing, looking very weird.

"Grandpa, brother, Xiaoyu is so afraid, don't quarrel, you all have to be fine." Seeing Meng Fanyu speaking loudly, Meng Xiaoyu was so frightened that she cried.

"Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, it's okay." Meng Xiaotian comforted his sister, and then said to Meng Fanyu, "Grandpa, don't get excited, you listen to me, the Seven Immortals Academy will enroll students in three days, I'm going to try it, I've already inquired clearly, if you are admitted to the Seven Immortals Academy, you can bring your family members to live in the West District, where there is the protection of the Immortal Array, you don't have to be afraid of Chen Guo's pursuit and killing, and then I will study the Immortal Arts hard, and ask the Immortal Master to hurt you, you will definitely get better." ”

After listening to Meng Xiaotian's words, Meng Fanyu thought about it for a while, and felt that what Meng Xiaotian said was very reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Then wait for three more days, after all, this is the capital of Great Xia, and if you want to come to Chen Guo, you don't have much strength here, three or four days should be no problem, but Xiaotian, I heard that the Seven Immortals Academy recruits disciples very strictly, almost one in a thousand, are you sure?" ”

"I'll do my best, it's the best way out I can think of, it's better than running aimlessly." Meng Xiaotian said.

"Then give it a try, if you don't get admitted, you can leave quickly with Xiaoyu." Meng Fanyu also felt that he could give it a try, if he was admitted, he would have the hope of learning immortal arts, not only safe, but also hope for revenge in the future, and he could go with peace of mind if he died, as for what Meng Xiaotian said about asking the immortal master to help him heal himself, Meng Fanyu didn't take it to heart, the high-ranking immortal master, where is it so easy to move.

Meng Xiaotian didn't say anything, just asked Xiaoyu to take care of his grandfather, go to clean up the firewood by himself, and start cooking.

It didn't take long for the meal to be ready, a pot of rice, and a plate of fried vegetables, the meal was very simple, but because grandpa woke up, Meng Xiaoyu ate very happily, Meng Fanyu also ate happily, and praised Meng Xiaotian for the deliciousness of the fried vegetables.

Watching Meng Xiaoyu and Meng Fanyu talking and laughing happily, this feeling of home made Meng Xiaotian feel very warm, Meng Xiaotian remembered reading it in a book, "What is home?" It doesn't have to be a high-rise building, a palatial decoration, a place with a family, it's home. "Yes, grandpa and Xiaoyu are my family, the family I want to protect with my life.

Waking up from a coma, Meng Fanyu himself was very weak, and after saying so many words, Meng Fanyu was already tired, so after eating, Meng Fanyu lay on the bed and fell asleep, Meng Xiaoyu also cried and laughed today, and went to bed early.

Meng Xiaotian walked to the courtyard, the sky was already full of stars, but Meng Xiaotian was not sleepy, with the help of the starlight, Meng Xiaotian took out the homemade medicine for treating trauma, and treated the wound on his thigh again, the medicine is very useful, it doesn't hurt much anymore, it should be fine tomorrow.

Meng Xiaotian sat on the big stone in the courtyard, took out the bronze tripod, and pondered carefully, his father said that there is a great creation here, but what is the great creation? How do I get the great edification within? Meng Xiaotian looked at the bronze tripod several times, but did not find anything unusual, and finally reluctantly put away the bronze tripod.

Meng Xiaotian got up, came to the center of the courtyard, pulled his back with his chest, took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, turned his hands into tiger claws, supported his right hand forward, put his left hand in front of his chest, and at the same time stepped with his left foot to the left, and his right leg was bent and kneeling to the ground, forming a kneeling posture, which was the first style of tiger boxing 'tiger awakening', and then Meng Xiaotian played a set of boxing methods like a cloud.

"Whew!" "Whew!"

The punches were strong, and the sound of strong wind came from the air.

Meng Xiaotian's left leg was like an iron plough ploughing the land, and his right leg kicked suddenly, and his right paw burst out, and the whole person was like a tiger descending from the mountain, and there was a faint sound of tiger roaring in the air.

After fighting for half an hour, Meng Xiaotian ended today's practice, almost everyone in the mortal world practiced martial arts and practiced the body, laying the foundation for the future cultivation of immortals, when the Daming Palace was breached, Meng Xiaotian escaped in a hurry, and did not get the body refining exercises of the Ming royal family, and now the "Tiger Fist" is taught to him by Meng Fanyu, which is not a good exercise, but after Meng Xiaotian escaped from the Daming Palace, in order to take revenge, he practiced diligently every day, and it took three years, and now it is the cultivation of the third layer of the body. Meng Xiaotian can now send out more than 300 catties of power with a punch with all his strength, which is more powerful than ordinary adults, coupled with the "Secret Art of Burning Blood" taught by Meng Fanyu, he can burst out with strong combat effectiveness, which is the foundation for Meng Xiaotian to dare to go to the Imperial Capital Colosseum to fight.

After fighting for half an hour, Meng Xiaotian sweated, hit a basin of water, rinsed it in the yard, felt a lot more comfortable, wiped it briefly, Meng Xiaotian returned to the house, lay on the bed, but couldn't sleep for a long time, thought a lot, thought of his father, thought of the fairy who flew away in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller, and also thought of the chase and killing all the way when he escaped from Jinling City, and unconsciously Meng Xiaotian fell asleep.

In the next three days, Meng Xiaotian didn't go anywhere, he took care of his grandfather carefully, every time he finished taking the medicine, the black silk on Meng Fanyu's eyebrows converged a little, and Meng Fanyu's complexion would be better, but after one night, the condition would recur, Meng Xiaotian spent three gold coins to buy the medicine, and he could hold on for another three or four days, today is the day when the Immortal Academy recruits disciples, Meng Xiaotian got up early, boiled the decoction, and took care of his grandfather.

"Xiaotian, there is a certain danger in recruiting disciples in the Immortal Academy, there are many disciples in every assessment, and they die in the trial enchantment, you must be careful, if you feel that you can't pass the assessment, you should abstain as soon as possible, don't hold on." Just after taking the medicine, Meng Fanyu's complexion improved a little, looked at Meng Xiaotian who was about to go out, and admonished earnestly.

"Don't worry, grandpa, I'll take care of myself." Meng Xiaotian hung the half of the knife around his waist, tied the cuffs and trouser legs into the cloth strips, and prepared to go out.

"Brother, can I go with you?" Meng Xiaoyu asked with big eyes.

Meng Xiaotian touched Meng Xiaoyu's head, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is good, you stay at home and take care of your grandfather, and when I am admitted to the Immortal Academy, I can ask the immortal master to treat my grandfather, and I can also buy you a lot of delicious food." ”

Meng Xiaoyu, who was only six years old, nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will take care of my grandfather, you have to be careful." ”

Meng Xiaotian nodded, turned around and walked out of the house, behind him were the concerned eyes of Meng Fanyu and Meng Xiaotian.

……………………

In the western area of Yanjing City, the huge bluestone square in front of the Immortal Academy is crowded with teenagers who come to take the exam, the time has not yet come, the Immortal Academy is still shrouded in a mysterious formation, the formation is like a huge bubble, the western area of Yanjing City is all shrouded in the bubble, and the foam flashes from time to time A purple electric ray, these electric rays are extremely powerful, once someone wanted to break into the Immortal Academy, but a lightning flashed in the formation, instantly turning that person into black coke, and was blown by a gust of wind, it turned into flying ash and disappeared in the world.

There are regulations in the Immortal Academy, and the parents of the candidates are not allowed to set foot on the Qingshi Square, otherwise the candidates will be directly regarded as abstaining, so the Qingshi Square is full of teenagers who are less than ten years old, Meng Xiaotian came to the Qingshi Square and found that these teenagers were divided into large and small circles, and the innermost was a large group of aristocratic teenagers, and they all had a lofty aristocratic temperament.

These aristocratic teenagers formed a circle, and in the middle were five teenagers with extraordinary temperament, and it could be seen from their dragon-shaped family emblems that these five teenagers were actually the children of the royal family of Great Xia.

The periphery of the aristocratic teenagers is the young masters in brocade robes, most of their families have a lot of property, so they are very luxurious in dress, and the outermost part is a large group of teenagers who are wearing coarse linen clothes like Meng Xiaotian, they are all from poor backgrounds, and those with slightly better family backgrounds can also wear a little neater, if they are young people with very ordinary family backgrounds, the coarse linen clothes on their bodies are full of patches.

Meng Xiaotian stood on the outermost periphery, a relatively few people, waiting for the assessment to begin.

Not far from Meng Xiaotian, there was a young man wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his skin was a little dark, and his exposed arms were knotted with muscles, looking very strong, the young man saw the half-cut long knife on Meng Xiaotian's waist, and said with a little honest smile: "Brother Tai, you bought this knife from my family's blacksmith shop, right?" ”

"Who is your house?" Meng Xiaotian looked at the young man, then at his own half of the long knife, and asked.

"I forgot to introduce, my name is Zhao Shishi, everyone calls me Shishi, the ironstone blacksmith shop in the North District is opened by my family, I just saw a triangular mark on the knife on the waist of Brother Tai, I know that my family bought it, so I asked, Brother Tai, what is your name?" Zhao Shishi said very enthusiastically.

"My name is Meng Xiaotian, you can call me Xiaotian, your knife is of good quality, I use it very easily." Meng Xiaotian replied with a smile.

"Really? Is it possible that I made this knife of yours? Hearing Meng Xiaotian praise the knife sold by their family, Zhao Shishi was very happy, "Xiaotian, your knife is broken, why don't you repair it?" Is the other half still there? If you are here, you can take one piece when the time comes, and I will fix it for you for free. ”

"Thanks, stone." Meng Xiaotian smiled, thought for a while, and said, "If you pass this assessment, will you go back to striking iron?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, I'm just here to have a good time, it's difficult for us poor children to be chosen." Zhao Shishi complained a few words.

When Meng Xiaotian was about to ask why it was difficult for poor children to be selected, "Bang! A bell rang from inside the Immortal Academy, and the bell rang melodiously and clearly, resounding throughout Yanjing City, and the assessment of the Immortal Academy's recruitment of apprentices began.
