Chapter 17: The Tianxuan Exam

After two days of non-stop travel, Su Yu arrived at the foot of the Tianxuan Sect, and raised his eyes to look at the towering mountains and mountains in front of him, majestic and powerful, surrounded by momentum, although it is somewhat similar to Qingyunling, but the peaks of Qingyunling are compared with here, but they are just the sea of Haoyue Lake Bay, which is not to mention.

Pinching the time, Su Yu knew that this Tianxuan faction opened the door to accept apprentices, unlike other sects, which collected once or twice a year, and collected a large number of them at a time, a master with a group of apprentices, centralized management, relying on a large number of people, earning a firewood, rice, oil and salt money from the tuition fee, this Tianxuan faction, regularly and fixedly, accepting apprentices once a month on the fifteenth day, among the many applicants, the number of apprentices is at most two, Su Yu thought, or keep improving, a few masters take turns to bring a few apprentices, and it is definitely better to bring a group of apprentices, and this Tianxuan faction or the profound road has been going for a long timeThe conditions for accepting apprentices are also becoming more and more tricky, and the content of the assessment is different from the same time, and there is no regularity to be found, so that many people who come to apprentice are confused.

Su Yu tied the good horse given by the rich man at the foot of the mountain, hiked up the mountain alone, and carefully searched for Tang Zhe's figure among the endless streams of people who came to apprentice on the mountain road.

After looking back and forth for an hour, just when Su Yu thought that his analysis was wrong and Tang Zhe didn't come here at all, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the foot of the mountain.

I haven't seen each other for many days, and the moment my eyes meet each other, Su Yu feels as if a long time has passed.

Tang folded thin, the previous round face protruded edges and corners, and when he saw people, he smiled like a crescent moon's eyes, at this time he was less naughty and naughty, and he was much quieter.

As soon as he looked up and saw Su Yu, Tang was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled, but his eyes were no longer full of stars, but in the blink of an eye, tears flashed.

Su Yu went over, looked Tang Zhe up and down carefully, met his gaze, snorted and laughed, smiled and laughed, wiped the tears that came out, punched Tang Zhe on the shoulder, and complained: "Since childhood, have we been separated?" Which time did you go up the mountain and down the river and be beaten and punished, not together! You left without saying a word, do you want me to beat you! ”

Tang Zhen was next to Su Yu's punch, and he was willing, silent for a long time, and finally pouted, and said with some grievances: "Boss, I miss you so much." ”

Thinking of you, Su Yu also pursed his lips, feeling that it was worth it for all these days of running back and forth.

Mother abandoned her and left, there are Tang Zhen by her side, and the scholar Da Kuizhu is in them, she will never be alone.

……

The time for the Tianxuan faction to accept apprentices has not yet arrived, Su Yu pulled Tang Zhe and told him all the words he had saved up in the past few days, and Tang Zhe was also aggrieved, and confided in Su Yu about the hardships he had suffered during this time.

In the end, Tang Zhe told Su Yu that he wanted to apprentice, just under the Tianxuan Sect, Su Yu understood Tang Zhe's meaning and purpose, and was willing to follow him, after the two quickly reached an agreement, they glanced at each other, laughed a few times, and ran towards the Tianxuan Sect.

All along, as long as they are together, there will never be much difficulty in this world.

……

Squatting at the gate of the Tianxuan Sect, the people who came to apprentice waited and waited, and when the sun hung high in the middle of the sky, the closed door creaked open, and slowly from the inside, a polite man came out.

The man was unhurried, step by step, stepped out of the gate of the Tianxuan Sect, and glanced at the people at the door, the originally noisy gate instantly became silent, and they all closed their mouths.

The Tianxuan disciple standing at the door looked at the sky, opened his mouth slowly, and said word by word: "Today's exam question is ......"

"Third Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother!" The slow disciple didn't finish speaking, but he saw another person running in a hurry from inside the door, and he didn't shy away from it, and said to the person who came out of the exam question: "Third Senior Brother, Master Cangshu said that there is a taste of cattail grass in his medicinal herbs, and I want you to go to the back mountain to find it for him." ”

After hearing this, the third senior brother nodded, still unhurried, and said to the people under the steps: "Everyone, today's exam question is to go to the cliff of the back mountain and pick a grass plant, which is limited to two hours, and those who can send the blood grass to the wooden house in the back mountain can come to the door to apprentice and join my Tianxuan faction." ”

As soon as he said this, there was a hula, and everyone in front of the door ran fast, and they all went towards the back mountain.

Su Yu and Tang Zhe stood in place and glanced at each other, the reason why they didn't run as fast as others was because this blood grass was not easy to pick.

They had heard the master of Zhulin say, said that this kind of herb, the growth environment is extremely harsh, most of them are in the stone crevices of the cliffs, the stems and leaves are dark green and rich, the flowers are withered, they bloom for three seasons in a row and are undefeated, and most of them grow alone, after the flowers fall and give birth to seeds, they fall to the ground with the wind and turn into dust and mud, and one of the hundred seeds may not be able to regenerate. It is rumored that there were capable people in the early years, in order to pick this cattail grass, after domesticating the monkey, let the monkey climb down the cliff to pick, but not to mention whether the monkey can pick the cattail grass, even to tame such a monkey who understands human words, it will take several years of effort.

However, Master Zhulin never spent that mind on the monkey, so he hit the target on a few ghosts that were better than the monkey, especially Su Yu and Tang Zhe, when the two of them went to the house to unveil the tile, they jumped higher than the monkey, so when picking this medicinal material, Master Zhulin and his master were just a few big cakes, and now it was a coincidence that they met again.

He didn't rush to the back mountain for the first time, because there were too many people who went, Su Yu didn't dare to guarantee that there was no hidden dragon and crouching tiger among them, even if it passed, he might not be able to squeeze to the front, even if he squeezed to the front and picked up the blood grass, people's hearts are unpredictable, and he can't guarantee that he will be chased and snatched by others, whether he can be successfully sent to the back mountain cabin, he has to say otherwise.

So, Su Yu and Tang Zhe first found the location of the wooden house in the back mountain, stood on the way to the wooden house, held the sword and waited for the road, there was only one blood grass on the left and right, instead of picking the jealousy of the people, it was better to intercept here, and bully the one who picked the grass, and beat it, then they went to learn the art of apprenticeship, and it was not possible to prove that the apprentice could not take their turn.

For a long time, the excellent evaluation of Su Yu and his gang by several masters is that they are not discouraged when they win and are proud or defeated, although most of the time, Su Yu and the others are in a state of self-pride.

Standing at that intersection, waiting, waiting, standing for more than an hour, and sitting for half an hour, still no one came, Su Yu and Tang Zhe were a little puzzled, so they discussed for a while, and decided to take a look.

I thought that among the people who came to apprentice, there would be one or two powerful ones, and the feelings were not all a group of pus, and they couldn't even pick up a single medicinal herb.

Thinking about it this way, the two of them became more and more bold, and when they arrived at the cliff of the long medicinal herbs, they saw that there were more than a dozen long and short ropes tied down, and the people walked halfway, and when they inquired, they knew that there were two people who were full of courage to grasp the rope and go down, and before they climbed to the place where the herb grows, they were already physically exhausted and fell down, so that some of them were timid or had a superior family environment and could not endure hardships, and a group of them were scared away.

But it's not entirely like this, perseverance and physical strength are excellent, there are also some, and there is even one who looks good at light skills, and after some effort, he picked up a medicinal herb, laughed and went to the wooden house in the back mountain, and someone on the side saw that the catfish grass had been picked by others, and sighed dejectedly, and walked a few more.

Su Yu and Tang Zhe glanced at each other, closed their mouths tightly and did not speak, they must not say it clearly, and tell everyone that the guy picked the wrong grass.

Facts have proved that Su Yu and Tang Zhe must not be the only ones who have this idea, such as the dozen or so people who are still in place, obviously with a gloating expression, and when they saw that person was far away, they looked at the cliff again, looking for the real Puxue grass.

After a while, another artist dared to climb the rope and climb down, among the people who stayed on it, there was a person Su Yu couldn't help but take a few more looks, only to see that the person was thin, wearing an ink-colored cloak, and a white face was so white that it was hidden in the hat of the cloak, which added a bit of weirdness.

Su Yu thought, isn't this person born with a keen sense of smell, but he can judge the location of the blood grass based on the faint fragrance in the air?

Sure enough, after sniffing for a moment, the man stood up, stood on the cliff in the wind, took out an emerald flute from his bosom and handed it to his lips, and played a melodious music.

Tang Zhe pulled Su Yu's sleeve on the side and whispered: "Boss, don't you see that this person is a little lacking in heart, and in this case, he still wants to play a song to help the fun?" ”

Su Yu was silent, listening to the slight movement coming from the valley, stretched out his finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture towards Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhi closed his mouth, and then the subtle sound slowly amplified, and when he got closer, suddenly the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees surged, and flocks of birds fluttered their wings and flew towards this side.

When they reached the cliff, the bird did not fly far, but seemed to listen to the melodious sound of the flute, and hovered in the middle of the cliff for a moment, and then one of the birds, with a withered flower in its mouth, flew up in the wind and landed on the man's shoulder.

Tang opened his mouth and sighed: "Old, boss, the blood grass was taken away by a tamered bird." ”

Not only Tang Zhe, but others also saw this scene, most of the righteous men and gentlemen sighed with regret and bowed to the wind, and some of them had tricks in their hearts, so they quickly moved their hands and wanted to snatch the blood grass from the hands of the black-robed man.

This time, Tang folded down and didn't make a move, and kept standing with Su Yu until a group of people rushed away while running, and the two of them ran to the cliff and stopped where the birds came up.

It's still the same, Tang Zhe is a boy, his physical strength is better, help Su Yu pull the rope on it, Su Yu pulled one rope around his waist, threw the other one off the cliff, and then jumped, like the flying swallow, climbing the cliff and going down the cliff.
