Volume 1 Origin Chapter 32 Ascending to the Top
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
The bright moon hangs over the dome, illuminating the peak brightly. There was a melodious bell from the Twelve Peaks of the Mixed Yuan, and the time had come, and all the candidates who had not reached the peak and did not hold the Mixed Yuan Order were counted as unqualified.
Just as Mu Tianzhen, Qin Hu and the others were anxious, a familiar voice pierced the night sky: "Master, I'm here!"
"Brother Chen, you can count it!"
"Brother Mu, I knew you could do it!"
The two immediately greeted them, and their joy covered up their previous worries. And Chen Mu just stood there smiling, as if other people's worries were superfluous.
"All candidates who have not reached the summit should return the same way. A melodious female voice announced the results of the exam.
"That's the end of the exam?"
Chen Mu looked around, there were originally thousands of candidates who came in the morningβhead to head, but now, there were about 200 people in the square.
Not long after, a floating cloud carried seven people to the peak, Chen Mu had never seen this kind of scene, and his eyes looked straight there.
On the floating clouds, the three people led by them were uniformly dressed, all dressed in white brocade and silk, and their expressions were arrogant, looking down at the candidates below.
"You four still don't want to go down, do you want me to please!"
The woman of the three spoke, her voice cold and her expression indifferent.
The two young men beside the woman also looked at the four people behind them from above: "Didn't you hear clearly, it's you who are talking about!"
Among the four people who were let down, there was a boy who was also handsome, but at this time, his eyebrows were full of disdain: "Cut! Isn't it just that he came to the academy a few years before us, what is crazy!"
As soon as he finished saying this, the two young men next to the woman, one left and one right, one person and one kick, just kicked the boy's ass and kicked him down.
Seeing this, the other three candidates dared to stay longer, and hurriedly jumped down.
The boy who was kicked down had vicious eyes and stared at the two young men: "You guys, how dare you insult me like this!"
"Don't be unconvinced. β
The one on the left of the two young men didn't care about the boys' gaze at all, and he said sarcastically: "Last year, I also relied on the Mixed Yuan Order to be exempted from the entrance examination, but I finally climbed the stone steps. I don't know what's going on this year, none of the four of you who are exempted from the exam have climbed up!"
The other three exempt candidates listened with red faces and ashamed, and even the boy who was kicked lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Yo! Chubby Dun is too!"
Chen Mu looked at the four exempted candidates, heh! Wei Xiaoran's fat dun was impressive. It's just that what the three people on the cloud did was really unpleasant, and Chen Mu also complained about the little fat in his heart: If Wei Xiaoran's fat dun didn't have the mixed yuan order of the cheating father, he would have been able to climb up a long time ago!
"Chen Mu!"
Xiao Fat Dun felt that he had been humiliated, but when he saw Chen Mu at this time, he immediately felt like a savior. He raised his head and pointed at the three people on the floating clouds: "Who said that we didn't pass the test without examinees! He, Chen Mu! is the one who climbed up!"
As soon as Wei Xiaoran said this, everyone's eyes in the audience focused on Chen Mu, and the young man on the right on the floating cloud asked the woman in disbelief: "Senior Sister Miao Qin, is that kid exempted from the exam?"
The cold woman who was called Miao Qin shook her head: "The mixed yuan jade handed over to me by the master has no reaction to him, he is not exempt from the exam." β
The young man on the right who got the result immediately turned to Wei Xiaoran and said mockingly: "I know you are not convinced, but if you randomly point to the person who passes and say that he is exempted from the exam, your behavior is too clumsy!"
"It's not like that!"
Wei Xiaoran's face was red, his fat face was even more puffed up because of his anger, and he argued: "Chen Mu is indeed exempted from the exam......! It's just that he knocked the Mixed Yuan Order off the cliff halfway!"
"Huh? haha......"
The audience erupted in laughter.
Wei Xiaoran's words made others laugh, but Mu Tianzhen was particularly anxious here, and she immediately asked Chen Mu: "Brother Chen, did you really lose the exemption certificate?"
Chen Mu stood in the center of the long awkward, and had already beaten Wei Xiaoran a hundred times in his heart: This guy really can't open a pot, he shouldn't have sympathized with him just now!
Chen Mu scratched his head and looked at Mu Tianzhen and Qin Hu with some embarrassment: "I'm really embarrassed, Sister Tianzhen, it was my carelessness that I lost the Mixed Yuan Order; β
Hearing Chen Mu say this, it is indeed the truth, thinking that Chen Mu almost didn't have time to reach the top just now, Mu Tianzhen's heart was full of fear, she complained: "If Brother Chen does such an outrageous thing next time, I will ignore you!"
"Don't don't, Sister Tianzhen, I was wrong, there will be no next time!"
"Haha!"
Looking at the funny scene in the field, the rest of the candidates burst into laughter again.
"Silence!"
Miao Qin snorted coldly, and with the experience of the past, no one dared to speak out in the audience. Miao Qin looked at Chen Mu, and goosebumps rose when she looked at Chen Mu with cold eyes.
"Since you have lost your Mixed Yuan Order, you need to participate in the whole process of the next assessment, if you fail one of them, please leave by yourself!"
Miao Qin's face was cold, and her words were even colder, Chen Mu laughed stupidly on the side, and didn't dare to complain more.
"Qi Xingjian, Leng Binhong, the two of you will take these four exempt candidates to the outer peak first, and all the rest of the candidates will wait at the top of the mountain, and the second assessment will be carried out tomorrow!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of the handsome boy who had been kicked down the floating cloud before: "We, can we pass it?"
"Yes, you passed!"
On the left, a young man named Qi Xingjian snorted coldly: "I don't know if I can laugh out loud when I am humiliated like this!"
The boy who was kicked down from the clouds didn't speak, but the poison in his eyes couldn't be hidden: What do you know? The result is right, and it doesn't matter what the process is! And you people are waiting for me! I will repay the humiliation you have given me today!
When the exempted candidates and the two young men left, Miao Qin sat on the floating clouds, closed her eyes and recuperated, which was really a bit uncannibalistic. The other candidates all found a place to rest.
Chen Mu, Mu Tianzhen, and Qin Hu found a no-man's land, and just as they were about to sit down, they saw Jiao Zhuo, the "Banana King", walking towards here.
Jiao Zhuo's swarthy face had a kind smile: "Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be so courageous!"
Chen Mu smiled bitterly: Don't whip the corpse, if I hadn't stupidly lost the Mixed Yuan Order, I would have gone to the outer peak like Wei Xiaoran and them, so why wait here for the next assessment?
"You're tired all day, you should be hungry, right?"
Jiao Zhuo asked, and at the same time took out a Qiankun bag from his arms, "I have the spiritual rice I brought from my hometown here, although it is raw, but you can also chew some to replenish the spiritual power." β
As he spoke, Jiao Zhuo took out a cloth bag from the Qiankun bag, which contained all the crystal color and clear appearance of spiritual rice.
"Brother Jiao Zhuo, this spiritual rice is delicious at first glance!"
Qin Hu was already hungry, so he was not polite, he directly took out a handful of spiritual rice from the cloth bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it.
"Bah! Why is it so hard!"
Looking at Qin Hu, who had lost his teeth, Jiao Zhuo laughed: "Haha! Brother Qin! The spiritual rice in my hometown is no better than ordinary rice, and people with bad teeth can't chew it!"
As he spoke, he threw a few into his mouth and chewed on them. After a while, he also showed an expression that was the same as Qin Hu.
"It's not cooked, and it's too unpalatable!"
"Haha!"
"Lingmi...... There you have it!" Chen Mu turned his mind and took out two pots from the Qiankun bag.
Jiao Zhuo was stunned and said, "Brother Chen, do you still have an iron pot with you?"
"Life is forced. β
Chen Mu explained casually, and then he compared the two pots, and then said distressedly: "I remember that Wei Xiaoran has fire attribute spiritual power, it would be good if he was there!"
"Fire attribute spiritual power? Brother Chen, I am!"
"You?"
Chen Mu looked at the smiling "Banana Jun" and thought that this guy was really "enthusiastic".
"That's right, can you help me melt the two pots together along the rim?"
"Melt the pot?" Jiao Zhuo's expression was strange, "Although I haven't tried it, it should be possible." β
Saying that, Jiao Zhuo took two iron pots, and he didn't procrastinate, his Yuansheng Secret Treasure glowed, and a palm-sized crimson cicada flew out of the Yuansheng Secret Treasure and stopped on Jiao Zhuo's shoulder, and behind the crimson cicada, a little starlight suddenly appeared, it was the star pattern!
"Red cicada!
The red cicada heard the command, and as its wings flapped, two cyan flames burned towards the place where the iron pot met. Although the cicada is small, its flame is very hot, and soon, the iron pot melts at the junction.
Chen Mu's movements were immediately noticed by other candidates.
"What are they doing? barbecue?"
"It's actually a candidate who has a spirit, but red cicadas are quite common. β
"What do you know! Don't you see that there are star patterns behind the red cicadas! Although the red cicada is an ordinary spirit animal, it is much more powerful than a rare imperial spirit with star patterns!"
Miao Qin, who closed her eyes on the floating clouds and recuperated, naturally noticed the movement over there, and she swept her eyes slightly: "Star stripes, it's not bad." β
Then I stopped paying attention.
Although Chen Mu was also surprised that Jiao Zhuo's Imperial Spirit had star patterns, he was more concerned about the stitching of the double pot at this time, and after the fusion was almost complete, Chen Mu stopped and said, "Okay, leave a hole for me!"
Jiao Zhuo ordered the red cicada to extinguish the fire and handed the oval double pot with a gap to Chen Mu.
"Brother Chen, you can't use such a pot, right?"
Chen Mu smiled without saying a word, he took the double pot, put all the spiritual rice in Jiao Zhuo's cloth bag from the gap in the double pot, then added some sugar, and then handed it back to Jiao Zhuo.
"Alright, help me melt the gap. β
Jiao Zhuo was a little confused, but he had already done half of it, so he did it.
Chen Mu didn't stop here, he took out two iron frames from the Qiankun bag, adjusted the distance, and then took out a handful of firewood, lit it and put the double pot on the rack, and then shook the iron pot that Jiao Zhuo had finished and turned it at a constant speed.
Mu Tianzhen looked at Chen Mu who was shaking the double pot, like an old man burning charcoal on the side of the road, and she said curiously: "Brother Chen, what are you going to do here?"
Chen Mu replied with a smile: "A delicacy from my hometown, you can look forward to it!"
Mu Tianzhen tilted her head, and quietly watched Chen Mu shake and shake...... Unconsciously, the little head leaned on Chen Mu's shoulder and fell asleep.
Chen Mu smiled slightly, and his movements became lighter and softer.
Chen Mu's side originally attracted the attention of a wave of candidates when the red cicada appeared, but then he only found that it was roasting the fire, and he was no longer interested. There are many boys who envy Chen Mu for having a lovely person on his shoulder, and it is a pity that the famous flower has a master.
"That's it!"
Originally, Jiao Zhuo and Qin Hu were also about to fall asleep, but at this time, Chen Mu drank and the two of them immediately lifted their spirits. Mu Tianzhen also opened her hazy sleepy eyes, a little curious about what the spiritual rice in this strange pot had become.
"You guys, cover your ears. β
"Huh?"
"Don't ask, do it. Chen Mu ordered.
Mu Tianzhen and the three of them immediately covered their ears.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, which scared all the candidates who were about to fall asleep and jumped up, Miao Qin also rushed to the source of the sound as soon as possible, she frowned and looked at Chen Mu, her face was full of displeasure.
"What are you again?"
Chen Mu grinned, he didn't expect the movement to be so big, so he had to pretend to explain: "No, I see that everyone is tired for a day, and I want to make some delicious condolences." β
Miao Qin's cold eyes were still the same: "Do you need to make such a loud noise to make food?" I don't think you want to take the exam." β
"Senior sister, don't mind!"
Chen Mu was panicked, he didn't act this time, after all, he had already lost his exemption qualification, and if he was really eliminated, there was no way to remedy it.
Just when Chen Mu asked for mercy, I don't know which dog nose first said "It's so fragrant", and then like a domino effect, more and more people smelled the fragrance and said: "It's so fragrant!"
The candidates followed the fragrance and surrounded the source, and soon the "culprit" Chen Mu was surrounded by water.
Chen Mu saw that the effect of the fragrance battle was coming, and he handed the iron pot that was half divided to Miao Qin, and inside the iron pot were flowers as bright as stars, which were also the source of the fragrance.
Miao Qin swallowed Xiangjin.
Chen Mu grinned, revealing eight big white teeth: "Senior sister, do you want to taste my popcorn?"
......
Author's words: Popcorn is my childhood memory, when every popcorn maker came to the village, every child carried rice with five yuan, went to the village square to line up, when the rotating hot iron stove was opened by the boss, "boom", we knew that the delicious popcorn was baked!
