As soon as he walked into Wanxiu Peak, Mu Qi whispered a few words to Hong Luo, and then disappeared without a trace. Qing Mu suddenly couldn't find Mu Qi, and felt a little panicked in his heart, thinking of all kinds of things he encountered along the way, he was really a little uneasy.

But Qin Muyang knew what Mu Qi meant, he probably went to greet Mr. He first. Now that he is gone, as the eldest brother, of course, he has to take on the responsibility of protecting his sweetheart.

Thinking of this, he walked to Qing Mu's side and said with a smile: "Girl, don't worry, with Brother Luo's martial arts, I'm afraid that no one will be able to threaten his safety except for first-class masters like Mr. He!" ”

Qing Mu shook his head and said, "It is precisely because of this that I am even more worried!" Now it is precisely in the Holy Moon Pavilion of Mr. Qixia Mountain Crane, if Mu Qi mistakenly broke into the taboo of the master's house, wouldn't it be more auspicious! ”

When she said this, she was very worried in her heart, and said to herself: "No, I'm going to go and come back to him, if he has any strengths and weaknesses, then what should I do?" ”

"County Lord, County Lord! Don't worry! Just now Childe said that he was just going to meet a few old friends, so that the county lord can compete with peace of mind and don't be disturbed by the outside world! Only by moving forward bravely and believing that you will win will you win the final victory! ”

Hong Luo stepped forward and pulled Qing Mu, who was about to leave, and persuaded him.

"Yes, girl, you have to believe Brother Luo!" Qin Muyang also persuaded.

"Well, let's just wait and see. After all, Qixia Mountain is the place of Mr. Crane Shengyuexuan, and outsiders such as me can't be too rude! Qing Mu nodded and said.

Suddenly, a neutral voice came, Qing Mu and Hong Luo were all taken aback, and when they looked up, they saw an old man floating on top of a pine and cypress tree in the distance, and Qing Mu felt a little strange in his heart.

I only heard: "The girl really knows the general situation, the old man is here on behalf of Shengyuexuan to thank the girl for being tolerant, you can rest assured, Luo Gongzi is safe, although rest assured, peace of mind competition, the old man hopes to see you in the finals!" ”

Qing Mu was a little confused, and asked urgently, "Who are you?" Before the words fell, on the pine and cypress trees in the distance, only empty leaves were left swaying, and the old man just now had long since disappeared.

Qin Muyang took a step forward and said with a smile: "The girl is really blessed, do you know who the old man was just now?" ”

Qing Mu was a little confused, but still guessed: "Brother Qin, you won't tell me, that's the world's No. 1 Sword Crane Mr." ”

"Exactly!" Qin Muyang affirmed.

Qing Mu nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and said: "It seems that the number one sword martial art in the world is indeed extraordinary, and the momentary movement just now is also the first time I have seen it in my life." ”

"Girl's eyesight! That is exactly the famous stunt of Shengyue Xuan, flying lightly. Qin Muyang said with appreciation.

In the past few days, people from all sects and factions on the rivers and lakes have arrived at Qixia Mountain one after another, in order to welcome so many martial arts heroes, Shengyuexuan deliberately divided a large mansion located on Wanxiu Peak into two.

Qing Mu was arranged in a wing room on the south side of the East Courtyard, and Qin Muyang asked to live next door to Qing Mu's room in order to take care of Qing Mu for Mu Qi.

According to a rough estimate, there are at least 200 elites participating in this grand event. Many people just came to join in the fun when they heard the news, but also to see the first sword in the world, if they can see him perform martial arts, then there will be no regrets in this life.

However, Qing Mu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and now that he saw the heroes from all walks of life gathering, he remembered that he didn't know any martial arts, and he didn't know how to go next.

And at this moment, Mu Qi was not by his side, thinking of finding someone to discuss, but now he can only stop there, there is really no way.

When he was at a loss, Hong Luo walked out of the room and said with a smile: "County Lord, you don't have to worry, Gongzi said, as long as the County Lord you try hard, you will be able to pass the test smoothly!" ”

Childe said that he will help you in the dark and will not let you get hurt in any way!

Qing Mu was a little puzzled, raised his head to look at Hong Luo, and asked, "Hong Luo, what else did he say to you?" ”

"No, that's all. However, Hong Luo didn't quite understand what Childe meant by this? Hong Luo said with a puzzled expression.

"Forget it, if you come, you can be safe! I believe that as long as you work hard, Mr. Tsuru will definitely see it in his eyes, and I believe that he will be able to see the pearls! Qing Mu shook his head, and he couldn't believe what he said.

Another day passed, it was already August 14th, and tomorrow was the official period of the competition, and Shengyuexuan sent someone to inform everyone, requiring those who wanted to participate in the competition to register in advance, and there were requirements for the qualifications of those who participated.

I saw a person who looked like a maid walk into the east courtyard and said loudly to the heroes: "Welcome to the grand event held by the Holy Moon Xuan, on behalf of Mr. Crane of the Holy Moon Xuan, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you fellow martial artists!" ”

Someone asked loudly: "I heard that the competition is qualified to require, what is it, please come to this girl quickly!" ”

The girl smiled slightly, and said, "Heroes don't have to be anxious, Lord Xuan has already instructed his subordinates to inform all heroes of the rules one by one!" ”

There are three qualifications for participants: 1. The age must not exceed 30 years old; 2. Do not accept people of bad conduct; 3. Those who do not accept the imperial court.

Everyone was surprised and said, "Mr. Crane, what are the rules?" In this way, wouldn't half of the heroes from all walks of life not be able to participate in the competition! ”

Qin Muyang took a step forward and said, "Everyone, everyone! Listen to the next word! When the heroes from all walks of life saw that it was Qin Muyang, the gentleman of the Huashan faction, who came out to speak, they all calmed down and stopped talking.

Qin Muyang smiled slightly and said, "The so-called guest is as you go, I don't think you heroes should have come to Qixia Mountain to make trouble, right?" ”

After all, he is a disciple of Mr. Crane and his old man's family, and with Mr. Crane's status in the rivers and lakes, even if there are more requirements, it should not be too much!

The four princes' Feng Qingming walked out of the crowd and said loudly: "What Brother Qin said is true! Now I am waiting to come here to catch a glimpse of the demeanor of Mr. Jianhe, the world's No. 1 sword crane. ”

Even if he is not chosen, he should not cause trouble, and he should happily drink a glass of wine to show respect for his old man!

When everyone heard this, they felt very reasonable, and nodded one after another: "Yes!" Be! Master Qin, we listen to you! ”

"Good! In that case, if you want to participate in the competition, please line up and sign up with me! The girl said again.

Half an hour later, the people who wanted to sign up had already gone to sign up, including Qing Mu, a total of 48 people participated in the competition.

The little girl glanced at the list, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I'll go and report to Lord Xuan first, the heroes will wait for a while, and I will announce the assessment rules in a while!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and left the East Courtyard, and it didn't take long for her to disappear in front of the heroes.

The people in the east courtyard were still talking in a low voice, but Qing Mu was looking forward to seeing that familiar figure, for a long time, but he was disappointed, Mu Qi did not show any signs at all, Qing Mu lowered his head in frustration.

Hong Luo noticed that Qing Mu's expression was a little wrong, and walked over and asked in a low voice, "County Lord, are you okay?" I don't think you have to worry, it's just a matter of signing up now, and I'm sure tomorrow's competition will be exciting. ”

Let's listen to the rules of the competition later!

Qing Mu glanced up at Hong Luo, thinking a lot in his heart, although he was very nervous, now it seems that there is no better way, he can only take one step at a time. She still believed in Mu Qi, but he was away for a few days, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.

After about half an hour, the little girl who had just left walked into the east courtyard again, on the high platform in front of her.

He said aloud to everyone: "According to Lord Xuan's meaning, all the forty-eight people who signed up this time meet the requirements, and I will announce it now, the rules of the competition!" The competition is divided into three sessions. ”

The first competition was calligraphy; the second martial arts competition; In the third game, we will try to be patient.

In view of the large number of applicants, before the three competitions, one more test, this assessment will be divided into eight groups of forty-eight people, six people in each group, the first place will be promoted, the others will be eliminated, and finally establish the top eight seats, the content of the additional test is endurance running.

Qing Mu heard this, and was very glad in his heart, now it seems that the first thing to assess is not martial arts, it seems that the physical fitness that he practiced hard some time ago is still very wise. If you take the other exams, I'm afraid that you will lose.

After everyone listened, they talked a lot, thinking that the heroes from all walks of life finally appreciated the eccentricity of Mr. Crane, the first sword in the world, and he did not follow the usual path, and he was a person of martial arts, and this assessment was indeed incredible.

It turned out that they came to participate in the competition, and the participants could not raise objections to the questioners, and it was difficult for everyone to say anything.

The little girl watched the crowd gradually calm down, and then came: "The specific grouping is determined by drawing lots, here, I will put a total of forty-eight numbers from one to forty-eight into this wax pill......"

As she spoke, she picked up a wax pill in her hand, broke the wax pill, put the paper in it, closed the wax pill again, and then continued: "Those who participate in the assessment, according to the order, draw a wax pill respectively, and then according to the order number. ”

No. 1 to No. 6 are a group, No. 7 to No. 12 are a group, and so on......

"Good! As long as it's fair, my four sons will be happy to accompany me! "Feng Qingming affirmed.

The girl listened to everyone's discussions, smiled faintly, and said: "Then so be it, after a quarter of an hour, everyone will line up to draw lots, and after setting the serial number, everyone will prepare for tomorrow's assessment!" After saying that, she stepped off the stage, turned around and walked straight out of the east courtyard.

About a cup of tea, the girl who had just walked out walked in with a few attendants, one of whom was holding a large box.

The girl exclaimed, "Everyone, be quiet! Now start the lottery, everyone's chances are equal, the first draw is not necessarily good, and the late draw is not necessarily bad! ”

Everyone who participated in the assessment was discussing whether to smoke first or later, Qing Mu smiled indifferently, walked to the stage, glanced at everyone coldly, and said to the little girl: "It's better to let me smoke first!" ”

"Good! Girl, please! The girl laughed.

Qing Mu nodded slowly, walked over, gently reached into the dark box, picked up a wax pill and played with it in his hand, glanced at it, turned around and walked back.

Hong Luo walked over with a smile and said, "County Lord, County Lord!" What number is it? ”

Qing Mu smiled lightly and said, "What number is it and it's not all the same?" This probability cannot be calculated, and even if it is calculated, the opponent's power is not clear, rather than calculating it like this, it is better to face everything calmly! The so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth! ”

When everyone heard her words, they felt that it made sense, and they were about to draw lots in a hurry, Qin Muyang took a step forward and said, "Don't worry, everyone, come in line one by one!" ”

Half an hour later, after the draw was completed, everyone opened their wax pills and looked at their numbers.

"Three!"

"Sixteen!"

"Forty-two!"

Qing Mu was also a little stunned in his mind, and gently opened the wax pill, only to see the word "No. 1" written on it, Hong Luo took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "County Lord, you are too powerful, the first lottery, No. 1 was drawn out by you." ”

What a blessing! Qing Mu was silent, thinking about who the opponents of No. 2 to No. 6 were behind, Zuo Qing glanced at it a few times, and no one spoke again.

The little girl who asked everyone to draw lots just now looked up at the people standing under the stage, and said loudly: "In this way, everyone line up, report the numbers and names one by one, and then according to the predetermined rules, the competition will officially start tomorrow." ”

After about a cup of tea, the candidates had already reported the results of their lottery and their names, and the girl smiled lightly: "Everyone wait a while, after I go back to sort it out, I will post the results on the bulletin board outside the East Courtyard." ”

Tomorrow, according to the grouping shown on the bulletin board, all test takers will gather at the Cuihan Pavilion on the east side of Wanxiu Peak on time, if they fail to arrive on time, they will be deemed to have given up!

"Okay, got it!" Everyone replied.

The girl chuckled, turned and left the eastern courtyard with her attendant. Sure enough, within half an hour, the results of the lottery had been posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the East Courtyard.

The four princes of the martial arts are the most active, looking at the red list with a smile, and said: "I really can't imagine that I can be in a group with Miss Qingmu, I really don't know each other, I can't imagine such a fate!" ”

Qing Mu heard this Feng Qingming's slightly provocative words, he was a little angry in his heart, but he didn't attack, and walked straight to the bulletin board and looked at the grouping above.

Hong Luo stepped forward and asked, "County Lord, how is it?" ”

Qing Mu shook his head and sighed: "This Feng Qingming has outstanding martial arts, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to have any hope of winning this time." Unexpectedly, now it may really be a trip for nothing! Alas! ”

Qing Mu lowered his head a little gloomily, as if he was in a depressed mood, and inadvertently glanced at the figure walking in the distance, very surprised, who is it not Mu Qi?

After a while, Mu Qi walked up to her and said with a smile: "Qingmu, how is it?" Which group are you into! ”

"Humph!" Qing Mu was a little angry, turned his head and didn't look at him, Mu Qi actually regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't say everything to him at the moment, after all, in front of the heroes of the world, if he openly cheated, it would affect the reputation of the master.

Qing Mu was very angry in her heart, and she couldn't let go of Mu Qi's farewell without saying goodbye for a long time.

In fact, she didn't know that these all kinds of whimsical ideas, rules and rules were formulated by the prince, in order to remove all obstacles for him and successfully enter the final finals, and made pre-arrangements.

Today, maybe Qing Mu still doesn't know her good intentions, but every time she thinks that she can become a brother and sister with her soon, she is still very happy and happy.

It's just that all this can't be said before the overall situation is decided, which is really a bit confusing.

Thinking of this, Mu Qi smiled faintly, and said, "Qingmu, you don't want to see me so much, then I'll leave!" ”

Qing Mu was very happy to see Mu Qi appear, but thinking of the difference a few days ago, he was in such a situation with an unknown future, and he actually blamed him.

But when he heard him say that he was leaving, he was suddenly startled, and immediately turned to look at him, and complained: "Go!" Walk! Walk! If you're gone, don't come back! ”

"Ahh That was not what I meant! That's it, when you finish the exam, I promise you that you will make it clear, but now you have to be patient a little longer! Muzi continued.

"Humph! Young Master Luo, how much are you hiding from this girl? I don't even know which of your words is true and which is false! Qing Mu said angrily.

Mu Qi shook his head slowly, walked up to her, gently hugged her, hugged her into his arms, and whispered: "Qingmu, believe me!" After tomorrow, you'll know everything! I promise, I don't hide anything from you but this one! ”

"Humph! You're necrotic! Always disappearing before you know it, do you know how worried I am about you! Now on this Qixia Mountain, it is not as good as your palace, if there are any three long and two short, how can I explain to the emperor's uncle! ”

Qing Muyu gently beat Mu Qi's chest with her hand, and said unrelentingly.

Mu Qi was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and said with a smile: "Qingmu, it turns out that you are worried about me!" I thought you were just mad at me! ”

"Humph! The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people! This girl doesn't bother to pay attention to you! Qing Mu said angrily, and after speaking, he gently escaped from his arms and ran back to his room in the East Courtyard.

Mu Qi looked at Qing Mu who ran away in an instant, didn't react for a long time, and stood there quietly in a daze. After seeing the red list, the group of heroes all returned to the East and West Courtyards, rested early, and prepared for tomorrow's competition.

What the heroes didn't know was that Mu Qi had already taken action in order to allow Qing Mu to enter the finals smoothly, and that day Mu Li, he quietly woke up one of the four sons of martial arts.

Yue Fengxue, who was called the eldest brother, led him all the way along the cliffside of Wanxiu Peak. Yue Fengxue was very strange in his heart, who was this person, who dared to be so presumptuous under Mr. He's nose.
