Chapter 44: The Twelve Signs of Heaven

Chen Zichu, who was still a little drunk and hazy, was stunned when he heard this, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he instantly sobered up.

Beginner Canon.

The word was enough to awaken all his sanity.

What's more, the woman asked this question at this time, and the moral behind it is not simple.

When he did brag on the road, he told Ying Baoyue that he was going to participate in the beginner ceremony this year.

This is nothing, after all, no one will not participate in the young people with heads and faces in Nanchu this year.

But there is one thing he hasn't revealed to Ying Baoyue yet.

That is, he not only wants to participate in the beginner rank, Chen Zichu narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed over the coldness and shrewdness of the family.

He is also the stepson of this year's Southern Chu Junior Ceremony.

Although he is the weakest stepson who has been pushed out as a shield.

Chen Zichu looked at the pure curiosity of the girl in front of him, remembering what Ying Baoyue said before that he could also find Xu Yishan, guessing that this woman probably didn't know the identity of his stepson.

She just wanted to ask someone who knew.

But as a woman, there is something wrong with asking this question.

Chen Zichu's heart was slightly cold, he put on a cynical smile again, squinted his eyes and looked at Ying Baoyue and asked, "Your Highness, what are you asking for, who wants to participate in the beginner ceremony?" ”

Ji Ange's scalp exploded, and when she looked at Ying Baoyue, she found that she really wanted to open her mouth, but the next moment, she saw a young man behind Ying Baoyue also staring at her lips closely.

"Me!" Guichen was afraid that Ying Baoyue would open his mouth, so he stood in front of Ying Baoyue and looked at Chen Zichu eagerly, "I, I, I want to participate."

The young man in front of him almost raised his hand and pounced on Chen Zichu.

Chen Zichu was taken aback by Guichen's sudden enthusiasm, took a step back and looked at the young man in front of him and nodded, "It turned out to be you." ”

Chen Zichu noticed that Ying Baoyue only brought this young guard with him this time, and it seemed that he was indeed here for him.

Chen Zichu couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Ying Baoyue looked at Guichen who was blocking in front of her, her eyes flashed and she didn't speak.

Guichen and Ji Ange breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Guichen bowed to Chen Zichu, "The kid is new to the city, and he is not familiar with the place, so please ask the son for advice." ”

Chen Zichu looked at Guichen, who was of a low rank but at least a man, and walked to the table and sat down with a slight sigh of relief.

"Are you from the former Qin?"

Guichen nodded and looked at Chen Zichu in confusion.

He had just become a cultivator, and he didn't have much family history thanks to his father's blessing, so he didn't know much about the cultivation world together. Originally, he thought that as long as he became a cultivator, he would be able to participate in the Beginner Ceremony when he arrived in Nanchu, but this morning, Ying Baoyue told him to ask Chen Zichu first.

The girl stood in front of him and whispered, "It's been eight years, maybe the rules have changed." ”

Guichen didn't understand what this meant, but he knew that what Ying Baoyue said was always right. But at this time, it was still a little uncomfortable to be looked up and down like this by the son of Nanchu Gongzi in front of him, who was also the son of Da Sima.

"Chen Gongzi, ...... in the end"

Without waiting for Guichen to finish asking, Chen Zichu stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth and said vaguely, "You said that you were going to participate in the beginner ceremony, remember to bring the recommendation documents issued by the former Qin court, right?" ”

"Recommended essays?" Guichen was stunned when he heard this, and Ying Baoyue was also stunned.

"What's that?"

Seeing the young man in front of him looking at him in confusion, Chen Zichu's eyes widened, "You don't know this?" ”

Guichen nodded truthfully.

"The recommendation document is a proof that the imperial courts of various countries specially issued for their own national cultivators to participate in the primary ceremony," Chen Zichu looked at Guichen speechlessly, "It is something that was opened by the local county government before leaving, and you are the former Qin, so you naturally have to stamp the seal of the former Qin." ”

"What?" The return is like a blow to the head.

"Otherwise, who knows who is a cultivator from which country?" Chen Zichu spread his hands and said, "What if you are a spy from Xirong?" ”

Guichen was shocked, and quickly shook his head, "I'm a native of Qianqin!" ”

"That's what I said, but without a certificate from your country, who can guarantee it?" Chen Zichu shook his head, "If you don't recommend the paperwork, you are a wild cultivator, you can't even participate in the public battle with the country as the team in the beginner ceremony, what's the use?" ”

He looked at the young man in front of him regretfully, "That's the most basic thing to sign up, and you can't register if you don't have it." ”

The Beginner Grand Ceremony was indeed a grand event that could be attended by cultivators below the fifth level of the six countries in the Great Wall, except for Xirong, but it was not without order and order.

All participants are required to register in advance.

Before the official start of the year, the stepson of each country will have a list of the participants of the registered practitioners.

Ying Baoyue already understood everything when she heard this.

As she expected, the rules changed.

This so-called recommendation document is actually a recommendation letter, which is like the participation certificate held by athletes from various countries when participating in the Olympic Games.

Although she didn't participate in the beginner's ceremony back then, she knew some rules, and she didn't have the tradition of issuing letters of recommendation for the country at that time.

After all, at that time...... The empire is also a unified state.

The empire is torn apart, and the confrontation between countries has become fierce, and the rules are naturally going to change, and Ying Baoyue fully understands this matter.

But now it has directly led to the obstacles to Guichen and her participation.

"I don't have that kind of recommendation," Guichen muttered.

"That's hopeless," Chen Zichu raised his forehead, "It's too late to go back and open it at this time, you are not a bachelor, and you can't pass the test with only ten ranks, you are still ready to prepare for the next ......."

Guichen bit his lip and lowered his head, but before he could despair, the girl who was originally blocked by him stepped out and quietly looked at the young man who was eating in the house.

"Bachelor? What test? ”

Chen Zichu's hand that reached out to grab the bait stopped in mid-air, and he said in his heart that he had leaked his mouth, and he should be able to fool around......

But without waiting for Chen Zichu to open his mouth to cover up, he only listened to the girl in front of him say quietly.

"You said before that Xu Yishan went to prepare for a big event, that's it, right?"

Ying Baoyue looked at Chen Zichu's eyes and smiled.

"Before the Beginner Ceremony, the Jixia Academy will have the last selection of scholars?"

This woman is simply acutely terrifying!

Chen Zichu swallowed the food in his mouth and quietly looked into the eyes of the girl who walked into the courtyard.

It's so clear that it seems to be able to see all the secrets of this world.

"I remember," Ying Baoyue gave him the final blow, "The opening ceremony of the beginner ceremony should not only be as monotonous as me and Ji Gongzi's engagement, right?" ”

That is, you, the woman, will feel that she is monotonous in her engagement.

Chen Zichu was so choked that he couldn't speak.

The opening ceremony of the Nanchu Elementary Ceremony was indeed not just a formality for cultivators from all over the world. Even if there is no grand event of harmony between Southern Chu and Qianqin, it will always be lively.

Chen Zichu's eyes became solemn, as if he had seen the bloody scene.

The so-called opening ceremony is actually a test of the waters before the start of the primary ceremony.

Because at the same time, there is also a battle of disciples of the best young cultivators from all over the world.

History said, the feast of the grass.

It is commonly known as Jixia School Palace, and the upper four palaces are fighting.

That is, the tournament.

Jixia School Palace is the highest school of martial arts in the Shanhai Continent, consisting of a total of twelve school palaces, and in recent years, almost all outstanding cultivators from various countries have come from Jixia School Palace.

Practitioners who represent various countries in the Initiation Ceremony, as long as they are good enough, will often have another status before they become practitioners in their own country.

That's the Bachelor of Grass.

It can be said that the Bachelor is a higher level of status than the young practitioners of various countries.

Chen Zichu looked at the eyes of the girl in front of him and took a deep breath, "If you don't have a letter of recommendation from your country, there is indeed one way to participate in the beginner ceremony." ”

Ying Baoyue's eyes lit up, but the next moment he was shocked by the seriousness that suddenly appeared on the face of the young man in front of him.

The smile on the corner of Chen Zichu's mouth had all disappeared, and his voice was cold, "But this method is not something that a rank ten cultivator can do. ”

"Why?" Guichen couldn't help but ask, a little unconvinced.

"There is no why, because there are no shortcuts in this world," Chen Zichu stood up and walked to the steps, looking at him and Ying Baoyue condescendingly.

It is impossible for a person who cannot even obtain a letter of recommendation from his home country to obtain another pass with a status much higher than that of the recommendation documents of various countries.

"If you want to participate in the beginner ceremony without recommending the essay, there is only one way left." Chen Zichu said coldly.

"It is to participate in the final screening of the Heavenly Dao Twelve Palaces held by the Jixia School Palace tomorrow."

This is a screening held by the various academies of the Jixia Academy Palace in order to obtain the final combat power of the upper four palaces, and they attach great importance to the talent and combat effectiveness of the cultivators, not to mention the ......

Chen Zichu said coldly, "If you want to get the qualification to participate, it's not enough to just participate in the screening. ”

The boy's voice was as cold as ice.

"You must pass the test of the upper four houses and become a bachelor."
