"Donglai Mountain?"

Tang Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, if he said that the Donglai Sword Sect had this treasure, he would naturally believe it. But how could the Donglai Sword Sect give him this thing, but he didn't know what Ling Yun meant by this.

"Of course, it is definitely impossible for the Donglai Sword Sect to give us this kind of treasure. Even in the Donglai Sword Sect, the Spirit Essence Golden Crystal is also a first-class treasure, and it takes a lot of merit to get it. However, as long as you can enter the Donglai Sword Sect, there will always be a chance. ”

Glancing at Tang Tianxiao, seeing that he was listening seriously, Ling Yun said again: "According to the custom, every five years, in the Hundred Courtyards Competition, all major sects will send people to watch the ceremony. Brother Tang is good at swords, as long as he performs well and achieves a good ranking, it will not be difficult to enter the Donglai Sword Sect. ”

"It's easier said than done. With my current talent of four spirit roots, in five years, even in this Linhai Martial Academy, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people left behind. Not to mention the competition of 100 courts, there are also Tianjiao in other states. It's easier said than done!"

Ling Yun's words made Tang Tianxiao's face look a lot better, but he was still a little unconfident.

"God rewards hard work, don't give up. It's just the gap in the spiritual root, as long as you are diligent and hardworking, you can always accumulate thick and thin. Even if he came to the east to be a sword god, before the battle of Mass Grave Mountain, he was unknown. Its rumors are only three spirit roots. I believe that God did not give up on anyone, and it was only us who really gave up. Ling Yun looked at Tang Tian and smiled, and said with a serious expression. This last sentence is not only for Tang Tianxiao, but also for himself.

Hearing this, Tang Tianxiao chewed for a long time, and bowed to Ling Yun: "Heaven rewards hard work, don't give up." Brother Ling's kind words, Tang Mou was enlightened and taught!"

"Good. Now that Brother Tang has figured it out, it is very good. The next few exams are believed to be not difficult for Brother Tang. However, in the subsequent ground test, it will be a little difficult, and I want to invite Brother Tang to cooperate and win the place of the top ten disciples, I don't know what Brother Tang wants. Seeing that Tang Tianxiao rekindled his fighting spirit, Ling Yun was much more relieved and said the plan for the future.

"Invite me to cooperate?" Hearing this, Tang Tianxiao was a little puzzled, "Among this batch of exam-taking students, I am afraid that the strength of the lower ranks is not even in the top fifty." Moreover, if I remember correctly, the girl next to Brother Ling before was only much stronger than me. If you want to cooperate, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with her? ”

"She is the daughter of the dean, and her status is inconvenient. Moreover, she should have no problem breaking into the top 10 by herself. It's you and me, if you cooperate, you have a good chance of winning the top ten, but if you climb the mountain alone, the result is difficult to say. Ling Yun explained.

Although there is no objection to cooperation, the more people the better. The more people there are, the more difficult it will be. Therefore, if you think you are strong, it is best to act alone.

"It's okay, since Brother Ling has a plan, he will follow the arrangement. ”

Tang Tianxiao was not a person who twisted, and immediately responded.

Then the two chatted briefly, then left the pavilion and returned to the No. 3 courtyard building.

As for the next two exams, Ling Yunzhi didn't have anything to worry about. After all, Tang Tianxiao is from Tangjiabao, as long as there is no problem with the mentality, etiquette and law are naturally not a problem.

And after the thin-faced man failed to frame him, Mu Lian seemed to have scruples, and there was no recurrence, but let Ling Yun calmly finish the remaining two subjects.

......

Following.

The backyard of the martial arts.

"Boom......"

In the garden, Tang Tian smiled like a dragon, constantly flashing and moving, the sword light in his hand flying, and constantly practicing the moves he practiced on weekdays.

Not far away, Ling Yun leaned against the book, just looking at the book in his hand, and occasionally raised his head and glanced at Tang Tianxiao.

After the "Wen", "Li" and "Law" exams, there will be two sky files, and all test papers will be returned to Guozijian for review. After the results of the assessment are available, students who fail any of the subjects will be eliminated, and the rest will start the "physical fitness" and "soldier" tests on the third day.

Because it was just two days away, Ling Yun made an appointment with Tang Tianxiao. After all, if the two want to cooperate, they must have an understanding of each other's strength. Ling Yun has not yet cultivated, and as a mortal, he naturally has nothing to understand. So the most important thing is that Tang Tianxiao shows his strength.

After practicing for about half a pillar of incense, Tang Tianxiao stopped his sword and walked towards Lingyun.

"Brother Ling, how is it?"

"It's okay!" Ling Yun nodded slightly, closed the book, and asked with some confusion: "However, although I have not seen the Tang family's swordsmanship before you. But I also heard that the Tang family is fearless with swords, good at swordsmanship, strong and domineering, and indomitable. Why is your swordsmanship decent, less offensive, and more defensive?"

Hearing this, Tang Tianxiao's face was embarrassed for a while, and he said with some embarrassment: "Although I have learned some sword moves, the Tang family overlord has not cultivated, but has only cultivated some exercises that are not in the stream, and his physical strength cannot keep up." So I improved it myself to avoid being overwhelmed by my body. As a result, it has changed a lot, and it has become what it is now. ”

"I see, I see!"

Ling Yun nodded, instantly clear.

After all, the Tang family overlord is absolutely uneducated, and I am afraid that only the core children are qualified to learn. If Tang Tianxiao could cultivate, he would definitely not be like this.

The Overlord is fearless with a sword.

If there is no hegemon, it is naturally difficult to be fearless. However, Tang Tianxiao was able to modify the Dreadnought Sword Technique, although only some of the moves were made, and the changes were average, it still surprised him.

After all, the second sword from the east has been famous for a long time, and it is not a sword move that does not enter the stream. Looking at it this way, Tang Tianxiao is above the way of the sword, and he does have a good talent.

"Brother Ling, do you have any suggestions?" Seeing Ling Yun's thoughts in his eyes, Tang Tianxiao hurriedly asked.

Although the two had known each other for a short time, he had also heard some things about Ling Yun, and knew that although Ling Yun had not cultivated, he was not an ordinary mortal, and his knowledge was extraordinary, so he might be able to give him good advice.

"Come with me!"

After a little thought, Ling Yun beckoned Tang Tianxiao and walked in the direction of the martial arts academy.

......

Zhongzhou Imperial City.

Military Department.

Five years ago, the military department was still at the end of the six, and was considered the most unpromising one.

After that, Lu Mao's book "Shangwu Ce" won the favor of the lord of the country, and he began to emphasize martial arts and light literature. In less than five years, the military department has become the hottest place among the ministries.

In the deepest part of the military department, there is an attic, which is the land trade office of the military department. The attic is elegant and quiet, quite literati, but it is somewhat out of place with the surrounding buildings.

In the attic, Lu Mao, who is more than half a hundred years old, is also wearing a long shirt, which is quite elegant.

Although Lu Mao came to the country from the east and was famous, few people knew that before he became the imperial prehistory, Lu Mao was from the Guozijian and had a good literary style, and he was a friend of the current Guozijian Jiu Xun Fuzizi.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Guozijian dared to give such a question as "On "Shang Wuce" in this year's test paper, without fear of offending Lu Mao.

In the attic, there was also a burly young man, wearing armor and a sword at his waist, and he was heroic.

Yao Bing, the squire of the military department, was still not famous five years ago, but was later discovered by Lu Mao and pulled up. Although he is not very old, he has some means, and he is Lu Mao's henchman.

"Qi Qi Da Sima, the prince of the country sent someone to send a brocade box. ”

Outside the door, the voice of the guard interrupted the discussion between the two.

"Bring it in!"

When Lu Mao spoke, the guard entered the door with the brocade box, put it on the table and left.

There is a seal on the brocade box, which reads "Da Sima Qinqi". After Yao Bing on the side helped tear it off, he opened the brocade box, but it was a few test answer sheets.

"Da Sima, what is Master Xun doing when he sends the test papers to us? Even if the Guozijian is not manpowered, it should be sent to the Ministry of Rites, what should we do when they are sent to our military department?" Yao Bing picked up a test paper casually, glanced at it twice, and asked with some puzzlement.

"My old friend, still don't give up. ”

Lu Mao said helplessly. He naturally knew that the proposition of the literary examination was "On "Shangwuce", and at this time, Xun Fuzi sent the test paper over, obviously not for him to review.

When he was in Guozijian, he and Master Xun were close friends, and although they were official and low-minded, they had the same interests. And now the two of them are sacrificial wine, and the other is Da Sima, although they are extremely popular ministers, they are in charge of civil and military affairs, and they are far from each other. Master Xun's move was nothing more than an attempt to squeeze him with these students' articles.

Of course, since Master Xun sent it specially, it was not good for him to return it directly, but fortunately, there were only a few copies, and he had to take a look at it patiently.

However, it is obvious that these test papers have not been able to enter the eyes of the land trade law, and after reading several copies, he still shook his head again and again.

"Huh!" It wasn't until he picked up the last one that Lu Mao let out a cry of surprise, and after reading it carefully, he said, "It turned out that he was waiting for me here." ”

When Yao Bing on the side heard this, he glanced at the test paper with some curiosity and asked, "Da Sima, is there anything wrong with this test paper?"

"The test paper is fine, the writing is very good, and even I can't help but agree with some ideas. Master Xun was lucky this time and met a good seedling. Okay, I'll just be a favor. Lu Mao said.

As he spoke, he put the test paper on the table, picked up a brush in his right hand, waved the pen, and wrote down two comments: Ambition!

While Lu Mao was writing, Yao Bing also glanced at the test paper, and in the column of test takers, the word "Lingyun" was written, which was written by Lu Mao, which just made up "Top Gun".

......

The western part of the Imperial City.

Duicheng District, Lin Mansion.

"Are you sure it's the orphan who disappeared that year?"

Lin Huainan put down the letter in his hand and asked like a dark shadow on the side.

"I have been in contact with the Mu family, and it is undoubtedly the orphan "Lingyun" who disappeared four years ago. suddenly appeared a few days ago, and then directly lived in the Muyang Pavilion in the Linhai Martial Arts Courtyard. The shadow replied.

Lin Huainan's eyes flashed, his face looked displeased, and he said, "Since it has been so long, doesn't the Mu family have any action?"

If he had done it before, it would have been easy to wipe out Ling Yun silently, and he would not have made much movement. Now that Ling Yun's name has spread throughout the court, I am afraid it will not be so easy to do it again.

"The Mu family said that they had shot once, but it was unsuccessful. And this person has been living in Muyang Pavilion, and with Murong Feng here, they don't dare to act rashly. The shadow replied.

"Hmph, it's not enough!" Lin Huainan snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed, and then said: "Tell the Mu family that within a month, if you can't even deal with a mortal, the Mu family has no value in existence." ”

"Yes!" the subordinate immediately went to contact. ”

The black shadow said, but before he could leave, he was stopped by Lin Huainan again.

"Let the dark hall Ah Yuan also follow, but don't contact the Mu family. Let the Mu family be in the light, and he will act in the dark. ”
