Chapter 19: Assassination

Back at the inn, because Xia Yueming's leg injury had not healed, he didn't go out with Lu Yu and Xu Xia during the day, and even ate in his room, and when Lu Yu and Xu Xia came back, Xu Xia ordered a table of wine and food to send to Xia Yueming's room.

In an inn like this, a table of good wine and food is only more than one or two silver, not to mention a son like Xu Xia, even the current Lu Yu can eat every day.

Xia Yueming held the wine glass and said with a gloomy face: "You two went shopping today, but you don't know what happened to the inn today?" ”

"What's going on at the inn?"

What can happen to the inn with people coming and going, Lu Yu asked curiously, "Tell me about it!" ”

"This afternoon, two guests came to the inn, you would never guess their identities?"

"Don't sell it here", Xu Xia said impatiently.

"It is the two candidates sent by the Sword Sect, and their cultivation has reached the eighth level of qi refining, I heard from them that this time all the major sects have sent a lot of monk candidates, and the lowest cultivation level also has the seventh layer of qi refining, and the pressure on Brother Xu is getting bigger and bigger."

The pressure that Xia Yueming pointed to was, of course, the pressure of Xu Xia preparing to hit the second grade, Xu Xia's cultivation was only at the fourth level of qi refining, even if he broke through to the fifth layer of qi refining, there was still a big gap between him and those candidates in the sect.

Xu Xia's face also changed, every time the imperial court exam, each major sect would send some outer disciples to participate, but this time it was obviously different, as soon as he made a move, he was a monk of the seventh layer of qi refining, this was no longer pressure, but a deep despair.

"How so?"

Lu Yu was a little puzzled, although he had heard Xu Xia say before that the various sects would send people to participate in the big exam, but firstly, the number of people was not very large, and secondly, the cultivation would not be outrageously high, otherwise Xu Xia would not have the confidence to hit the second grade.

"I don't know!"

Xia Yueming said: "But I listened to their conversation, it seems that this year, all the major sects are very interested in this big test, and they are vaguely urgent, and it seems that something big is about to happen." ”

"Big events, these years have been calm, the country and the people are safe, what big things can happen?"

"I don't know about that."

Lu Yu didn't know about the Tianlan world, so he could only listen and didn't open his mouth to interrupt Xu Xia's words.

Xu Xia seemed to think of something: "It can't be because of the Jiazi Secret Realm, no, the Jiazi Secret Realm is presided over by various major sects, and there is no need for each major sect to send their own disciples to participate in the big exam?" ”

"What is the Jiazi Secret Realm?"

If there is anyone who knows the most among the three, it is none other than Xu Xia, this is the difference between a wealthy family and a commoner.

"In fact, you will know about this matter after you are on the list."

Xu Xia didn't want to talk about this matter, but he had already said it, and not saying it would easily cause Lu Yu and Xia Yueming to be dissatisfied.

"Jiazi Secret Realm is actually also called Canglan Secret Realm, I don't know much, it is said that this is the biggest lost treasure in the Tianlan world, it is opened once every sixty years, the first time it seems to be opened more than 2,000 years ago, it has been opened more than thirty times, every time it is opened, there will be a large number of low-level monks entering it to find their own opportunities, and the low-level monks who get the opportunity can improve their cultivation in the shortest possible time and become an enviable intermediate monk."

Lu Yu and Xia Yueming's eyes lit up, the most important thing in cultivation is not only their own qualifications, but also who has the resources in their hands, a monk with extremely high qualifications does not have any resources in his hands, even if he cultivates hard every day, he is not as good as an ordinary monk who has a lot of resources in his hands.

This is also the reason why a large number of ordinary monks are willing to participate in the imperial court examination!

In the Tianlan world, if you want to ask who has the most resources in their hands, the first place is undoubtedly the imperial court, followed by the major sects, and finally the wealthy families.

However, there are too many monks that the imperial court needs to raise, so there are not many resources that each monk can allocate, although the resources mastered by the various sects are not as good as the imperial court, but the conditions for each sect to recruit disciples are too harsh, and the number of people is not bad if there are hundreds or thousands, and the number of core disciples is not more than a few hundred, and the resources that can be allocated are relatively more.

If you want to obtain cultivation resources in the Tianlan World, there are actually quite a lot of methods.

As long as the artist is bold, Tianlan World can be said to be full of treasures, and wealth is in danger, it depends on whether you dare to take it.

For example, the black catfish monster killed by Xu Xia and Lu Yu on the road, if you kill one, you can get five or six lower-grade spirit stones, as long as you are not killed by the monster, there is no shortage of cultivation resources.

Having said that, there are not many monks who really dare to do this, the outside world is too dangerous, powerful monsters are everywhere, and there are many spirit beasts that are more powerful than monsters, and the price paid by a monk who wants to grow up is not at all something that ordinary people can bear.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for a commoner to become a monk, unless he can be protected by the Heavenly Dao.

"Damn! After the disciples of these sects entered the ranks, they often relied on the forces behind them to suppress dissidents, and now they even have to participate in the big exams, and they don't let ordinary monks live. ”

Xia Yueming rolled her eyes, but Xu Xia was right, if the major sects were allowed to occupy the top three hundred in the big exam, it would be equivalent to blocking the promotion path of ordinary monks, and the lower the starting point of ordinary monks, the smaller the space for development, this is almost an unsolvable road.

Lu Yu is not so pessimistic, anyway, he can enter the top three, and other things have nothing to do with him.

This incident hit Xu Xia a bit hard, and as for Xia Yueming, he just complained, and it didn't have much impact on him.

After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to practice, Lu Yu practiced for a while, took out some books for scientific research and read them. After this period of study, Lu Yu has initially mastered the knowledge of scriptures and classics, and there is still a lot of lack in policy theory, as for poetry, Lu Yu is not worried at all, and he is already sixty percent sure of being on the list.

Before the time reached midnight, Lu Yu yawned, felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yu felt the whole inn shake in a daze, and the dust fell, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a loud noise, and then the beam above his head broke off and fell.

After cultivating, Lu Yu's reaction speed became a lot faster, and when he found that something was wrong, his body rolled under the bed, "Boom! A beam fell right on where Lu Yu was sleeping just now, smashing the entire bed, Lu Yu lived on the third floor, and at this time, he could see the room on the second floor below from the place where it collapsed.

Lu Yu, who rolled to the floor, did not feel safe, but felt a palpitation, as if he was being targeted by death.

Lu Yu, who realized the danger, didn't have time to think about it, his eyes swept over the half-collapsed houses, and he gritted his teeth and rolled towards the big hole in the collapsed floor. Just when Lu Yu was just thrown from the big hole in the floor to the second floor, some terrifying force swept through the third floor of the inn, and the entire house on the third floor collapsed like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.

Lu Yu fell on the floor on the second floor, and before he could get up, he felt that the house above his head was collapsing downward, and the surrounding wood made a cracking sound of 'click, click'.

With the sound of breaking, the three-story wooden structure of the inn collapsed from top to bottom, screams and shouts came one after another, and some panicked guests jumped from the window naked, desperately staying away from here.

Lu Yu was also at the last moment when the inn was about to collapse, he gritted his teeth and chose to use his body to open the window, and the whole person fell on the muddy ground in the backyard like a sandbag, and Lu Yu, who was about to get up from the ground, was buried in it by the dust of the collapsed house.

It didn't take long for Lu Yu to hear someone calling his name in a daze, Lu Yu opened his eyes and saw a familiar face, but this face was a little swollen, and it was wrapped in layers of white cloth, which looked funny and ridiculous.

"You're finally awake, and you're scared to death."

Lu Yu wanted to sit up, but found a pain in his body, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

"Don't move, you have not suffered minor injuries to your shoulders and back, you have already been seen by a doctor, and you need to rest for a few days."

Lu Yu remembered that after jumping from the second floor, in order to avoid the falling wood and rubble, he held his head with both hands, and his whole body curled up together to avoid the important parts of his body being smashed by heavy objects, but he didn't expect his subconscious reaction to save his life.

"What happened, why did the inn collapse for no reason?"

Xia Yueming was hit by a broken wood when he escaped from the inn because of an ankle injury, but fortunately, he didn't hurt his head, but his arm was also broken, and now his head, hands and feet are injured.

Xu Xia didn't know if he had a quick reaction or a high level of cultivation, and he was intact except for a little scratch on his body, so I have to say that he had a big life.

"I don't know, I ran out of the front of the inn, and after I found that the inn collapsed, I looked for you", Xu Xia said with palpitations: "The state capital and county have come to the government, and I am afraid it is not easy for such a big thing to happen in the state city." ”

Lu Yu looked around and found himself lying on a bed, there are still many people in a situation like himself, and some people who are wearing fast officials are asking around?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the county magistrate, and I have some questions to ask you?"

"Have you seen any suspicious people tonight?"

"Did you find anything before and after the incident?"

Lu Yu is similar to Xu Xia and Xia Yueming, they were already asleep at the time of the incident, and they were awakened by the sound of vibration, and they reacted slowly, but they were afraid that they would still be crushed under the ruins.

When it was dawn, a news quietly spread among the survivors, someone assassinated two disciples of the Sword Gate last night, and before the incident, the killer arranged an isolation circle in the inn, blocking the sound of fighting inside, but it seems that the killer did not expect the other party to fight to the death, breaking the isolation circle set by the killer, and crashing the entire inn, which not only alarmed the entire inn, but also the government in the state city.

It has been a long time since a monk dared to fight in the county seat, and this incident is not only the assassination of two Sword Sect disciples and the injury of many travelers, but also a provocation to the majesty and bottom line of the government.
