Half an hour after Xiao Yulin entered the fourth level, a thirteen-year-old boy in coarse linen clothes also passed the third level, this boy had dark skin and very rough skin, it looked like it was caused by often doing farm work, but such an ordinary appearance blocked his unusually bright eyes, those eyes were full of unyielding and confident, at this time the thirteen-year-old boy stepped into the fourth level with a resolute face.

Just when the boy stepped into the fourth level almost a stick of incense, he saw two thin figures appear almost simultaneously before the fourth level, these two people were no one else, Shen Chong and Cai Qingqing were in the past, and the two also discovered each other at the same time.

After seeing Cai Qingqing, a trace of joy flashed on Shen Chong's face, and then said with a smile, "Qingqing, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, and you also passed the third level." ”

"Humph! That is, and don't look at who this girl is. Cai Qingqing said proudly.

"Then let's compare and see who can pass this last level first, how about it?" Shen Chong said with a smile.

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom." Cai Qingqing said confidently, and after speaking, he stepped directly into the fourth level.

After seeing Cai Qingqing enter, Shen Chong did not hesitate, and followed directly, when he stepped in, he found himself in a dark space, there was no light, no sound, and he felt abnormally empty, he looked around, there was nothing but darkness, and then he lowered his head and looked at his hands, his eyes widened and he could only see a little shadow vaguely.

"Anyone?" Shen Chong shouted instinctively, and then thought of the first few levels, everyone was in the environment only themselves, there could be no one else around, after calming down, he secretly guessed, I don't know what to test in this level? So he waited quietly.

Shen Chong waited for an unknown amount of time, it felt like an hour had passed, but it felt as if it had just passed, and this contradictory feeling made him feel a little irritable.

To be honest, Shen Chong is just a child who has just passed six years old, although because of the influence of his living environment and his grandfather's teachings, he seems to be more mature than some thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, but after all, he is still just a child, and he will be irritable after staying in such a dark and silent space for a long time, and at the same time, he will be terrified, and at the same time, he will be accompanied by a panic about the unknown.

Unable to know the content of the test, Shen Chong decided to explore by himself, and he took a step forward, because he still had an idea in his heart, this place should not be far from the top of the mountain, no matter what the test of this level is, as long as he keeps moving forward, he will definitely be able to reach the top of the mountain.

I don't know how long it has been, Shen Chong has been walking, not stopping in the middle, even now he has been moving forward, but at this time his heart has begun to mess up, because he now does not know whether he has been walking for a long time or has just taken a step, this feeling makes him very anxious.

Suddenly, Shen Chong stretched out his hand and took out a jade piece from his arms that the guards handed him when he went up the mountain, and the guards told him that this jade piece was used in the fourth level, and if he couldn't hold on to it in the fourth level, he just had to break the jade piece, but it also meant giving up.

Fingers felt some warm jade tablets, Shen Chong's face showed a trace of struggle, but that struggle was quickly replaced by anxiety, just when Shen Chong raised his hand and was about to fall, suddenly his mind flashed his grandfather's kind face, and suddenly he stopped, he remembered what his grandfather taught him before, "Chong'er, you remember, what you need to learn now is persistence, whether it is now, in the future or in the future, no matter what you do, you must persevere to the end, because only persistence will succeed." ”

Shen Chong slowly lowered his arm, his eyes became firm, although his heart was still a little anxious, but he felt that he could still persevere.

Then Shen Chong kept walking ahead, and when he couldn't hold on, he recited the Four Books and Five Classics loudly, during which he wanted to break the jade pieces several times, but in the end, the persistence in his heart has always supported him.

Suddenly, Shen Chong found that a faint light appeared in the darkness in front of him, although it was very faint, but it was as dazzling as the sun in this dark space.

Shen Chong rushed towards the light without thinking about it, the closer he got to the light, the brighter it became, when he ran more than fifty steps, Shen Chong's surroundings had become a light, and then the scene in front of him suddenly changed, because the sudden appearance of the strong light pierced his eyes, just as he slowly adapted, he suddenly felt a warm stream of heat flowing into his body, and it felt like the feeling that his grandfather gave him Tsukidan in the first place.

With this heat flow in the body, the body and mind that were a little tired because of the level before suddenly relaxed, now he felt full of energy, full of strength, when he opened his eyes again, he found that there were three middle-aged people standing in front of him looking at him with a smile, and when he looked carefully, he found that these three people were the three deans of the academy, and immediately bowed, "Student Shen Chong has seen Your Majesty and seen two deans." ”

Cai Qingqing, who appeared at the same time next to him, also bowed, "Student Cai Qingqing, see Your Majesty, I have seen the two deans. ”

"Huh...... Yes, both of you are good. Xiao Jingyan smiled and said, "Get up, stand with the two of them, and wait for the other students." ”

At this time, Shen Chong found that there were two teenagers standing behind the three deans, and one of them he still knew, it was the second prince Xiao Yulin, as for the black boy who looked simple next to him, he didn't know it, and then Shen Chong and Cai Qingqing stood with the two after thanking them.

A day later, all the students participated in the test, and nine of them passed all four levels, namely Xiao Yulin, Liu Dashan, Shen Chong, Cai Qingqing, Shan Yu Longxing, Wu Mafeng, Wei Hua, Zhou Wu, and Lin Xin'er. There are 500 people who have passed the three levels, most of them are those from martial arts families and martial arts sects, there are 1,200 people who have passed the two levels, and the rest have either only passed the first level or have not passed the first level at all.

Looking at the nine people who had passed the four levels, Mei Changsu and the three of them were a little surprised, because they didn't expect that the three children adopted by Mei Changsu were actually among them, and the sons of the original Ye Qin Emperor Wu Ma Zhenhai and the former Burmese Yi Emperor Shan Yu Zhanxing were also among them, and these two people were different from others after returning to the Great Liang, they chose to guard the side of the official pastor, Xiao Jingyan and Mei Changsu could see that these two people were sincerely obedient, but they also had their own ambitions, they didn't want to eat and wait for death, as for the children of these two people, Mei Changsu will do their best to cultivate, because now everyone belongs to a family, and they are all Chinese.

After the assessment, Xiao Jingyan announced the results, and divided the academy into four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, the heavenly level is the nine people who have passed all four levels, the ground level is the five hundred people who have passed the three levels, the Xuan level is the 1,200 people who have passed the two levels, and the rest are the yellow level.

Obviously, different levels lead to different treatments, except for students at the three levels of heaven, earth, and mystery, who can study in the Qilin Academy, students at the yellow level can only have four opportunities to enter the academy to study with the teacher four times a month.

However, the college stipulates that the Inquiry Road is opened once a month, and students who want to continue the test can enter, as long as they can meet the requirements, they can be promoted.

At the same time, the academy is divided into four courtyards: the martial arts academy, the instrument academy, the Dan academy and the array courtyard, the martial arts academy is mainly for fighting, the instrument academy is mainly for refining, the Dan academy is mainly for alchemy, and the array academy is mainly for a while, and students can choose their favorite direction according to their own preferences and the teacher's suggestions.

……

In the pavilion on the top of Langya Mountain, Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingyan, Meng Zhi, Mr. Thirteen and Gong Yu sat together, at this time it has been a month since the opening of Qilin Academy, and on the second day after the opening of the academy, Mei Changsu sent Lin Chen away, and then after another month of busyness, Qilin Academy has been on the right track, Mei Changsu selected many exercises in the Yin Yang Palace Lord and handed them to Xiao Jingyan, so that he chose to pass them on to the students of the academy.

The night before, Mei Changsu told Xiao Jingyan about the Red Flame Army, and said that he was about to go to the underworld, Xiao Jingyan was very excited at that time and wanted to follow, but after thinking of his identity, he calmed down, and finally could only tell Mei Changsu to be careful, he was watching here in the Liang World, and there would be no problems.

At this time, Mei Changsu was making the final arrangements, because Xiao Jingyan was going to sit in Jinling, and Lin Chen was in the mortal realm, so it was finally decided to let Meng Zhi personally sit in the academy, with Mr. Thirteen and others assisting, and the Tianhe Star Dou Void Sand Array was also passed on to a few people.

Seeing Mei Changsu explain the matter, in addition to Xiao Jingyan knowing that he was leaving, Meng Zhi also probably guessed it, because Mei Changsu had told him when he was in the mortal realm before, as for Mr. Thirteen and Gong Yu, neither of them was an ignorant person, and they also guessed a rough idea when they saw such a situation, but Mr. Thirteen didn't say anything, but Gong Yu kept silently watching Mei Changsu and stopped talking, and finally when he was about to disperse, Gong Yu cautiously said, "Sect Master, you ...... Are you leaving? ”

Hearing Gong Yu's words, Mei Changsu paused with his hand holding the wine glass, and sighed in his heart when he saw Gong Yu's eyes full of emotion, originally he didn't want to call Gong Yu to come, but Gong Yu is also the main manager of the academy, and he needs to explain it personally.

Mei Changsu knows Gong Yu's feelings for him, but he hasn't solved the matter of Nihuang yet, he doesn't want to think about anything else, when he just returned to the Daliang world, when he saw Gong Yu's eyes full of longing, his heart trembled, he really couldn't bear to hurt this persistent woman anymore, from the time he came back to the present, he has always avoided being with Gong Yu, avoiding the two of them being alone,.

"Yes, I need to leave for a while, so you have to worry more about things here in the academy." Mei Changsu nodded, his tone very calm.

"Can you ...... then?"

"No," Gong Yu was interrupted by Mei Changsu before he finished speaking, "You have more important things to do, Brother Meng and Mr. Thirteen need your help." ”

"It's okay, just me and Mr. Thirteen here, Miss Gong Yu is a female ......" Meng Zhi on the side estimated that he had drunk too much and didn't figure out the situation at all, so he waved his hand directly and machismoly, but before he finished speaking, he was frightened by Mei Changsu's murderous eyes, and he was drunk in an instant, and said embarrassedly, "That...... Xiaoshu, I suddenly remembered that there was something else, so I left first. After speaking, he turned around and ran, but he did not forget to take the flask on the table with him as he ran.

"That, Xiaoshu, I also have something, let's go first." Xiao Jingyan said, and as soon as the words fell, he disappeared.

"Sect Master, my subordinates also have something to do, so I will retire first." Mr. Thirteen took a complicated look at Gong Yu, and then left.

At this time, Mei Changsu and Gong Yu were left in the pavilion, and there was no reaction to the departure of the three of them, Gong Yu, she looked at Mei Changsu with anticipation and longing all the time.
