In the early morning of dawn, the sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and the grandfather and grandson who appeared in the wine shop yesterday also came to the Xigu Garden at this moment. The middle-aged scribe who had been traveling with them did not know where to go at this time.

The grandfather and grandson stopped a hundred meters away from the Xigu Garden.

"Hu Ding, the future of our Hu family depends on you, go ahead. The old man then put a wooden plaque in the hand of the young man Hu Ding and patted him solemnly on the shoulder.

"Grandpa, relax, I will definitely succeed. Hu Ding said with a firm gaze, and then walked towards the Xigu Garden.

When he arrived at the ancient garden of Dexi, the young man found Jingwen standing on the side. "Isn't this yesterday's shopkeeper?" Hu Ding's heart was full of surprise and puzzlement.

"Little brother is also preparing to enter?" Hu Ding said suspiciously to Jingwen next to him.

"Well, you invite first?" Jingwen arched his hand towards Hu Dinggong, and made a gesture of invitation to the entrance of the Western Ancient Garden.

Hearing Jing Wen's words, the noble prince smiled lightly, and also arched his hand to Jing Wen, "Then I'll take the first step and wait for you in the pavilion." After speaking, he strode towards the entrance of the Xigu Garden.

As soon as Hu Ding reached the gate, he was stopped by two guards.

"Show the token, and leave without it. One of them, a strong man dressed in a navy blue suit, said loudly, carrying a long black knife behind him.

The young man Hu Ding did not hesitate, and immediately handed the wooden card in his hand to the guard.

"Permission to enter. The two guards looked at the token and looked at each other. Hand the token back again, making way for it. Hu Ding took the token, nodded with a smile at Jingwen on the side, and walked in the direction of Yangliu Pavilion.

"Look at the token that this young man showed just now is exactly the same as the one Uncle Zhang gave me, what Uncle Zhang said is true! He didn't casually look for me to be happy, but I think that with Uncle Zhang's indifferent character, he is not a random person looking for people to be happy. At this time, Jingwen no longer had the initial worries and apprehensions in his heart, thought for a while, and walked towards the entrance of the garden.

As is customary, the guards stopped Jingwen. Jingwen took out the wooden card from his arms and carefully handed it to the guard. The guards routinely checked the wooden card, and also handed it back to Jingwen and let him in.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Successfully passing through the entrance, Jingwen excitedly walked into the West Ancient Forest Garden. Along the bluestone paved road, smelling the fresh air, the whole person became lighter, and after walking for a while, he saw the figure of Yangliu Pavilion.

This pavilion is actually very simple, it is a square pavilion with a single eaves resting on the top of the mountain, and it can also be said to be a standard pavilion of Jiangnan garden. The art of this pavilion does not rely on magnificence to win, does not rely on grotesque attraction, but relies on simplicity, literary beauty, and deliberately pursues the highest level of Jiangnan architectural form, and wins by proportion, scale, charm and tone, which is also the foundation of architectural art.

Along the bluestone road, Jingwen came to the front of the Yangliu Pavilion and found that there were four people standing around the Yangliu Pavilion at this moment. In addition to the young Hu Ding whom Jingwen knew, there were two men and one woman. The girl is about eleven or twelve years old, with a slender figure, a slender waist, straight legs, and a light green dress that flutters naturally, looking very delicate and smart. There was a boy of the same age next to the girl, and judging by the distance between the two, they should be familiar with each other. The boy was dressed in a teal robe and looked a little emaciated. The other man looked to be about fourteen years old, dressed in a black suit, with a cold temperament, and a feeling of rejection.

At this time, the eyes of several people also turned to Jing Wen, who was walking slowly, and they all looked at him.

"Haha, little brother, you're here too. Hu Ding greeted him with a smile. The other three looked at them for a while, then turned their heads away, not intending to talk.

"I don't know yet, my brother's name, my name is Hu Ding, this year's fourteen, look at the appearance of the little brother, I should be older, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Hu. Hu Ding said with a low smile.

"That's right, Brother Hu, my name is Jingwen, and I've only been twelve for a short time. Don't hide it from Brother Hu, I have limited knowledge about this Xigu Sect assessment, I only know that Chenshi starts, I don't know how much Brother Hu knows, can you tell me one or two?" Jing Wen hurriedly asked the doubts in his heart.

"In this Western Ancient Sect assessment, anyone who holds the token issued by the sect and arrives at the designated place today, there will be cultivators who will go to the sect for assessment. There are three places that I know of, namely Yangliu Pavilion, Xishi Temple and Stele Garden, all three of which are in Hejun. My house is the closest to Yangliuting, so I chose this place. In my opinion, most of the people who come to Yangliuting are in the same situation as me. ”

"I see, does Brother Hu know the content of the sect's entrance assessment?" Jingwen asked Hu Ding in a low voice.

"I don't know about this, after all, I don't have any cultivators in my family. Grandpa instructed me to follow the arrangement when I arrived at Yangliu Pavilion. There is no point in thinking about anything else. Hu Ding shook his head helplessly.

"Even Hu Ding doesn't know, the information that others know should be very limited!" Jing Wen thought to himself.

Then the two chatted for a while. Jingwen only knew. It turned out that Hu Ding was a well-known wealthy businessman in Hejun City, the third son of the Hu family. The other three who arrived first, except for the cold-looking young man, did not know their identities. The girl and the boy are also from Hejun City, they are the true noble family in Hejun City, and they are a pair of brothers and sisters of the Li family of the city lord's mansion.

Hu Ding once saw the brother and sister from afar on the birthday of the city lord, but Hu Ding and the two did not know each other.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

The early morning sun sprinkled the entire Yangliu Pavilion. It is approaching the time of the Richen. During this period, two men and one woman came to Yangliu Pavilion one after another, and after they arrived, they also chose a random position to stand, obviously no one else knew each other.

A moment later, a fiery red colored light suddenly appeared in the distant sky, as if passing through the sky through the sky, and it was particularly eye-catching in the sky.

"That's ......" everyone was taken aback.

"Wow!, Wow!Wow!"

In that colored light, there was a fiery red divine bird, which flew in their direction in an instant. The speed is staggering, like a rainbow across the sky, in the blink of an eye.

"There's someone up there........ This can never be mortal," Jing Wen exclaimed in a low voice.

In mid-air, a divine bird about two zhang wide and three zhang long slowly landed on the grass by the pavilion. This bird has two eyes in both eyes, and its whole body is red, and its body is like a chicken, but it is many times larger. The eyes are shiny and sparkling, very striking, like a crystal that is crystal clear.

Above the sacred bird stood a young woman, dressed in a pale blue dress fluttering naturally. Everyone's eyes were attracted, the woman was like a fairy in Guanghan Palace, unstained with earthly atmosphere, and had an indifferent beauty, like a fresh snow lotus blooming on the snowy mountain, giving people the feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world.

There is no shortage of beautiful women in the world, but this woman seems to be one with the natural world, fresh and agile.

The woman stepped down from the sacred bird, stared at the crowd, and said, "The hour has come, give me the token in your hand." Her voice is as beautiful as a summer breeze.

Everyone handed the token in their hands to the woman. The woman took a cursory look, and then a bits of light appeared in her hand, and the token disappeared out of thin air. aroused a burst of envy and surprise from everyone.

"Now that the hour has come, the eight of you will follow me back to the sect on the Chongming Divine Bird to be tested. ”

Another soft and beautiful word sounded from the woman's mouth.

"Sister, I've been afraid of heights since I was a child. Will you take this divine bird to the sect? Will you accidentally fall down?" said the girl from the Li family, who arrived first, timidly and surprised.

"Don't worry, when you go to the sect later, I will let the Chongming Bird fly slowly, as long as you sit quietly and don't move, it will be fine." As for being afraid of heights and not daring to go up, then stay, the path of cultivation is difficult, and it will be regarded as the first round of tests. The woman said softly.

When everyone heard that they were going to ride the sacred bird, they were excited and scared. At this moment, Jing Wen's excitement and curiosity were far more than fear, and he looked at the quiet Chongming Bird from time to time.

The woman looked at everyone's expressions at the moment, and her heart was also mixed. I remembered what I looked like ten years ago, and I was in a trance for a while.

"Okay, give you ten breaths of time to think about it, and after ten breaths, follow me to the Heavy Ming Bird, or stay. Those who remain should automatically give up this sect assessment. so that the licence is often recalled".

Ten breaths later, everyone sat on the Heavy Ming Divine Bird. Jingwen didn't hesitate, I don't know why, and finally glanced in the direction of Qingping Town's house, and also sat on the Chongming Divine Bird. No one remained. The beautiful woman who looked like a snow lotus nodded slightly.

"Remember what I just said, and don't move. The woman emphasized again, then patted Shigeaki's head and whispered, "Go back."

Suddenly, I only heard a long chirp, and the sound was like a phoenix. Then he flashed two fiery red wings, slowly soared into the air around the West Ancient Forest Garden, straight out of the garden, and flew and roared.

The flight of the Chongming Divine Bird was extremely smooth, Jingwen only felt a breeze blowing on his face, the scenery below was getting farther and farther away, and the endless primeval old forest appeared in Jingwen's field of vision, and then slowly retreated.

The scenery at this moment is something that no one has ever seen before.

The group got through the initial tension. Except for the girl of the Li family, who was afraid of heights, who always looked straight ahead, everyone else began to look around and appreciate the creativity of nature. Gradually, Jingwen's heart became calmer, and he began to look at the surrounding scenery, looking forward to the future.

It took half an hour to reach the edge of the barren forest. In the distance, I saw a towering mountain peak, with layers of mountains and clouds, and it was impossible to see the true face, and sometimes there were beast roars. A winding bluestone path, winding up from the mountain peak, is like the work of calligraphy and painting, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. Compared with the prosperity of the world, there is a different taste.

"The sect will arrive soon, and they will all cheer up. The woman's clear and soft voice rang in everyone's ears again.
