Next.

It was not yet dawn, but it was already past the time of curfew, so Ling Chen and Wang Qingyun got up to say goodbye.

Both sides said some polite words, although literally flattering, but they were all heartfelt thanks. When we meet in Pingshui, it is already good to have such a mind.

After the two left, Lao Yu found a cloth bag on the table in the patio, with some spirit stones in it. Although it is not much, it can already solve the urgent needs of this family.

The sky was new and the streets began to be bustling with people. Noodle restaurants have also begun to open one after another, and there are more small stalls on both sides of the street from time to time selling some strange things.

The morning recovery unfolded in the noise, and the peddlers, pawns, and strange people began their day's journey.

Suddenly, he was surrounded by so many people, shoulder to shoulder, and for a while, Ling Chen was still a little uncomfortable. For nearly a year, there were only six people in their team, and now they saw such people again, and felt the noisy atmosphere, and somehow there was a sense of congestion and fear spreading in their hearts.

From here to Dongsheng Academy, you need to walk through several street scenes, and you need to walk for more than half an hour. It is true that they don't know the way, but there will always be people who will recognize it, after all, the reputation of the Eastern Saint Academy is like thunder.

Today's weather is sunny and the clouds are white, which is a rare and wonderful weather. It turned out that before I knew it, the Tanglin Domain had come to the early spring season at the end of February.

People don't know spring, but plants and trees know spring.

Although the breeze blew with a little chill, the warmth and hope in his heart had long been enthusiastic.

After stopping and stopping like this, and I don't know how many people were asked along the way, the two finally arrived at the gate of the Eastern Saint Academy before noon.

"Is this the Eastern Saint Academy?" Ling Chen muttered to himself as he saw the glorious building in front of him.

The huge stone strips are stacked together, and from a distance, there are thousands of steps. The other end has penetrated deep into the sky and is not visible. The cranes swim, full of clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.

At the end, a gatehouse looms visible, and the height is faintly level with the sky. The lacquer body is gold and red, engraved with birds and beasts, flowers and plants.

There is a gold plaque in the center, engraved with four big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing "Wan Shi Shi Watch". Even if the clouds and mist are shrouded, it can't stop the swaying brilliance on the plaque. The fairy wind blows the golden clouds, and the birds first appear.

This situation is more vast than all the things in the world and shocking. Good things are always fleeting, and you can't look up to them too much. The sea of clouds churned, and the vast scene was no longer visible.

Ling Chen's heart was flooded with a thousand waves, and he was shocked beyond measure.

"Enough of that?" asked a familiar voice a little playfully. "We'll go when we've seen enough. ”

"Whew. Suppressing his messy thoughts, Ling Chen strode forward.

Perhaps after today, success or failure will be revealed. The hardships and sins that have been endured for nearly a year should have a satisfactory result today in any case.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Seeing Lingchen's golden sword, he walked forward, and Wang Qingyun hurriedly stopped behind him.

Ling Chen turned around, looked at Wang Qingyun's playful expression, and knew after a little thought that he would be mistaken.

Sure enough, Wang Qingyun said: "This is the main gate of the Eastern Saint Academy, and it will only be open when it is a three-year recruitment or a high-ranking humanitarian visitor." Let's just take a look. As he spoke, Wang Qingyun looked into the distance of the stone steps, his eyes fluttered, and his thoughts had flown thousands of miles away. Ling Chen didn't need to look at it to know that this kid cared again

What kind of big man is he who will go up from here one day.

"How do you know these things?"

Ling Chen and Wang Qingyun had just arrived yesterday, and Ling Chen hadn't had time to inquire about it, how did he know this information. And when they asked along the way, they were just asking where the Eastern Saint Academy was, but they didn't say which gate they were going to.

"It's a good thing to read more. Wang Qingyun sighed earnestly.

"I think someone should be obsessed with martial arts cultivation and neglect the Liushi course, which leads to a black eye now. So much so that if I don't stop it, I'll be embarrassed. As soon as the words turned, Wang Qingyun still never forgot to tease Ling Chen.

"Well, no more nonsense. Where should I go?" After so many years, Ling Chen had long been immune to Wang Qingyun's cynicism, and asked helplessly. At this time, he was completely in no mood to laugh and play, and the whole person seemed a little silent.

"Just follow me. Patting Ling Chen's shoulder, Wang Qingyun turned around and walked in one direction. Seeing this, Ling Chen also quickly followed.

This is the main gate of the Eastern Saint Academy, that is, the south gate, and they detoured all the way from the west gate. As for the destination, it is naturally the most crowded and the east gate that they must go to.

"Have you ever heard of the Ascending Heaven Road?" Wang Qingyun asked Ling Chen as he walked.

"Yes. Ling Chen nodded.

Although he knew less about these things, he still remembered some of the more famous things very well.

The so-called "Ascending Heavenly Road" is another standard for recruiting students at Dongsheng College, and it is also the purpose of their coming here today.

And the road to heaven is not something mysterious and mysterious, in fact, it is nine steps. The conditions for selection are very simple, you only need to successfully climb the ninth step, and the bronze bell on the step will automatically ring nine sounds, implying nine heavenly harmony.

At that time, the relevant person in charge of the academy will come here to go through a series of procedures, and then you will become an inner court disciple of the Eastern Saint Academy.

At the same time, you'll be the focus of attention for the next few days of the entire college. Those who can ascend the path to heaven will inevitably become the inner court disciples of the academy, and the inner court disciples of the academy may not all be able to ascend the heavenly path. But those who can climb the nine steps are all those who have the qualifications to preach and win the path of heaven.

But such a person is difficult to survive.

It can be said that there are people who come to line up almost every day to try their way to the sky, but they all come back with a feather. In desperation, I had to regret that I had no roots and no excellent talent.

Compared with the main examination of the four colleges, this road is the easiest and the most difficult. In just nine steps, the fish leaps into a dragon. But where in the world will there be so many geniuses who will miss the main examination of the four academies, and then rely on their own talent to win the heavenly road?

Therefore, at the gate of the four courtyards, there will be many people who are talented and whimsical every day. I don't want to cultivate hard, I just think about the day I can climb the highest step, and from then on I will go to the peak of my life.

There is an endless stream of people who come to challenge every day, and if you fail, you will not be discouraged, and then continue to challenge. This kind of person is not actually trying to enter the academy, but purely trying to make trouble outside. After all, once there are more people, it becomes difficult to maintain order.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the four courtyards: each time you challenge the road to the sky, you need four yuan, and you will return it for free after passing.

Since the introduction of this rule of taking off your pants and farting, there are fewer and fewer people who come to set foot in it.

After all, not everyone has that

There is so much spare money to spend here, and there are countless students who come and go inside and outside the gate. Although there is no shame in failing the challenge, it is inevitable that some people will scoff and applaud. And who can really climb the road to heaven, who will really care about the mere four dollars.

However, the biggest problem with the path to heaven is that it does not cause damage to the person himself, but only evaluates the potential of the person in each realm.

And the one engraved under the nine steps is actually the rune of the Time Seal Master, which is from the hand of the dean of the Eastern Saint Academy. Because of the remarkable effect, low error rate, low supply, and almost no side effects, it has also been imitated by the other three hospitals. The road to heaven has become the simplest, most direct and effective way to distinguish genius from mediocrity.

Although the Peace Alliance advocates the equality of all beings, there should be a difference between strong and weak people in the world. The distinction is not due to cruelty, but sometimes it has to be.

Many things cannot be compensated by quantity, and the strong are often irreplaceable.

"Is there enough money on you?" asked Wang Qingyun.

"I changed a hundred dollars, it must be enough to meet some daily expenses, don't worry. Ling Chen said.

After all, they also know that this challenge requires four bucks, but there is no way. Some people can't control it if they don't set some rules.

When I came to the east gate of Dongsheng College, it was past noon. There was a slight sweat on his forehead, and the weather was already getting hotter.

This place does not have the grand momentum of the south gate, but it is a magnificent and elegant, simple and heavy stone gate. From a distance, you can see countless patterns of birds and beasts on the gate, which are lifelike and ingenious.

The gate is divided into three arches and does not have many ornate color decorations. But just standing there gives people a solemn feeling. Here are the four courtyards, and it is an ideal place for trillions of students.

In a trance, Ling Chen seemed to see a woman dressed in white, floating like a fairy. She is beautiful and moving, like a white lotus flower in full bloom.

It's just that the eyes are in a trance, the brain is blank, and even the noise around them has gradually disappeared. Ling Chen was a little dizzy, and felt that the surrounding environment had become a little unreal. He faltered and faltered. I was overly bored in my heart, but I don't know why.

"Dust, Dust"

In a trance, he seemed to hear someone calling him.

"Lingchen!

Something seemed to flash in front of me, but it was blurry and I couldn't see clearly. But Ling Chen still endured the discomfort and grabbed it with both hands. It was Wang Qingyun's hand, and his hands tightly grasped Wang Qingyun's hand, so that he had some support, and his body was no longer crooked.

"What's wrong with you, didn't you get a good rest last night?" Wang Qingyun asked with concern.

"Probably. Ling Chen shook his head, even he didn't know what was going on.

"Let's go. Ling Chen waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to walk towards the gate of the Eastern Saint Academy.

Just now he seemed to see a familiar picture, the woman in white like a lotus, I think he had seen it somewhere. I just think about it, but I don't remember anything.

He always felt a sense of familiarity here, but he couldn't talk about why it was familiar.

Walking to the stone gate, Ling Chen slowly rubbed, feeling a cold touch on the stone door, and his heart seemed to be much quieter. Suddenly, Ling Chen turned his head and saw a lifelike carved orchid by the stone gate, blooming very dazzlingly.

It's a pity that a petal is missing
