It all started early in the competition.

Early in the morning, the disciples of the entire mountain gathered in the Black Tower, and the disciples who were over fifteen years old who could participate in the competition wore black shirts, while those who watched the event wore white shirts and scattered among themselves in the Black Tower.

As soon as Yue Yi came in, he found that many white-shirted disciples were whispering, and they were peeking upwards as they spoke. She listened attentively, and the man said: "It is said that Master Fan also came to see the competition, and he sat in the Yuan Pavilion.

"Is there a windfall at the top of this year's list?"

Hearing someone say this, the disciples who were eavesdropping around them all gathered around, "Really? Do you have any inside information? ”

Master Fan's skill is unfathomable, even if he has never seen him make a move, but even the elder in charge said when he was drunk: Even when he reached the level of elder, he still didn't dare to infer Master Fan's skill, as if it was a bottomless pit, endless...

Therefore, if Master Fan remembers his name or accepts him as an entourage, it is an extremely honorable thing. Fan Shi is the ultimate dream of the children on the mountain, the embodiment of supreme strength.

But not Yueyi, she shook her head helplessly. If you are too tired from practicing, it is better to eat and drink enough and lie still.

What is also very special today is that Fan Shi personally presided over the development of the competition. At this time, he was dressed in loose clothes with gold trim on a black background, and only sat lazily in the seat, did not get up, and exhaled "the race begins" with internal force. The hundreds of disciples in the audience below had to see one of the corners of his clothes, and if they didn't have the strength to look more, they were shocked by the powerful words, and their heartstrings trembled.

What a strong internal strength! It is worthy of being a teacher!

The stewards who were instructed below to guide the preparation activities of each arena were carried out at the same time as the next ten games. The competition is contested by disciples of the same age, and the winning side competes with the winners elsewhere to determine the top ten. A small number of disciples can skip the grade competition, as long as both parties agree, they can take an additional test, and the final score is also counted as within the top ten.

But such people are only a very small minority, and the senior brother has been counted as one over the years, and now Shang Rui is also counted as one.

Compared to them, Yueyi is just a dark horse, and his skills have improved by leaps and bounds in a year. There are also many people looking forward to this competition between her and Shang Rui, but they don't believe that Yueyi will win.

Yue Yi didn't believe it.

"Senior Sister Shang Rui and Yue Yi are not enemies, this battle will definitely be bloody, I'm a little afraid." A little junior sister looked at everyone's faces and said cautiously.

The disciple who claimed to be an insider was very disdainful, he said: "That's all in the past, I've seen them get along very well several times, it must be Senior Sister Shang Rui's charm that made Yue Yi change her evil and return to the right, otherwise how could her martial arts improve so quickly?" It must also be the credit of my senior sister. ”

Therefore, this insider is also a fake insider, and the relationship between Yueyi and Shang Rui is difficult for outsiders to understand. If they knew a word called "bad friends", they might understand the strange relationship between them who quarreled, quarreled, and didn't really hate each other.

In the fifteen-year-old ring here, Yue Yi simply solved the opponents and easily won the top spot. She stood outside and carefully observed Shang Rui's competition in the eighteen-year-old ring. It is understandable that Shang Rui will win, but how she will win is Yueyi's concern.

And at the top of everyone, Master Fan, who had been silently observing, was thinking about things in his head while twisting his thick white beard with his hands. Although Yue Yi's performances just now can't be said to be amazing, her wit and cleverness are indeed beautiful. Thinking like this, he stood up again and walked to the edge of the stands, where a competition between Shang Rui and Yueyi was going on in the audience.

Shang Rui is arrogant, like a white swan with her neck on her neck at any time, as if everyone is not worthy of her bowing her head and talking. This high-profile appearance is inexplicably loved by the disciples, and everyone has a masochistic heart, Yue Yi thinks.

Shang Rui was just standing quietly at this time, and there was a lot of cheering around him.

"Senior Sister Shang Rui, come on!"

"Senior sister will definitely win!"

There was another person next to him, "Of course Senior Sister can win, aren't you talking nonsense." ”

Yueyi, who saw everything in his eyes, showed a rare mocking look at Shang Rui, Shang Rui's face darkened, and before he could stop drinking, Yueyi was attacked by another voice.

"Come on on the first day of the month! The first day of the month is the best! You can win on the first day of the month! ”

There is only one person, who says a string without stopping, which looks stubborn and funny. Yue Yi found a place to move, and Shang Rui's ridicule came from his ears, "Then you don't have anyone to cheer up, it doesn't mean that..."

Really! The little boy stood alone and alone, showing his big white teeth to her, and said, "If you win, I'll give you a fish to eat, and if you lose, you touch a fish to eat." ”

Co-authored is that I want to eat fish again, this little gluttonous cat. But there is a warm current in my heart, which moistens my heart.

Yue Yi unconsciously urged Shang Rui to come, "Ahem, let's start, fight early and finish early." "I have to cook when I go back, and it's not too early for this day...

"Okay."

Shang Rui's swordsmanship is orthodox Xuannian Mountain's swordsmanship, and in addition, he has also cultivated his own bold sword intent, which is difficult to break head-on. So Yue Yi played a roundabout way and never confronted her head-on, Shang Rui came up with all kinds of ways to force her out, but this mouse was very slippery and difficult to catch.

"Don't hide!"

"The mind is also the secret to victory, I can't beat you if it's hard!" Yueyi replied with a smile.

So she is like a fish in the water, if you hit her on the right, she will dodge to the left, and there is no place around her to hide, and there is no way for Shang Rui to attack from above.

She lightly flew with her left foot, pointing at Yue Yi from top to bottom, like a bamboo. In desperation, Yueyi couldn't escape, so he had to stand up to his sword. Finally, the two people facing each other struck their swords overflowing, and their bodies were flying and dancing. The disciples applauded and exclaimed, "Good! ”

However, an insider like Fan Shi knew that Yue Yi's skills were much worse, and Shang Rui would win.

The two of them didn't show a little blood during the whole process, and they didn't need to say much to get to the point. At the end of the day, they resumed their starting distance and stood opposite each other, and Tsukiichi arched his hand and said, "I lost." ”

Shang Rui took the scabbard and lectured like a mentor, "You're not bad, but you still need to be enlightened, remember that the sword is used to kill, and there is no murderous aura in your sword." ”

Yueyi tilted his head and didn't explain. The murderous thing is too dangerous, not only is it easy to hurt good people by mistake, but more importantly, it will hurt the salted fish herself, that is, Yueyi herself, and she spares her life and is afraid of death. She only wants to protect herself with weapons, but she is not willing to kill.

Seeing that Yueyi was about to die, Shang Rui said: "You have to live, death is a coward's doing, we have to be strong." ”

Yueyi looked at Shang Rui, as if everyone who cared about her would show such an expression, her cheeks were slightly wrinkled, she wanted to speak and stopped, and there was a slight anger in her eyes. Because Yueyi is a salted fish, she has to be turned over by others, and she has to beg her to do things one by one, or force her to do it.

They left the ring after the winner was decided, and when they were about to go back to their yard, the steward came to them and said, "Master Fan has an invite." ”

Then it happened that Fan Shi asked Yueyi and Shang Rui to go down the mountain.

They were the Fan Shi they met in Yuanting, and they only remembered that it was the highest place in the Black Tower, and the atmosphere inside was solidified, and the air didn't seem to dare to pretend. She and Shang Rui didn't dare to look around at the furnishings, they only dared to salute in a proper manner, "Meet the master, Shang Rui and Yue Yi are polite." ”

Fan Shi, who was sitting in a high position, just "um" for a moment, then retreated from the stewardship, raised his hand and closed the doors and windows with internal force. He praised Shang Rui and said to her, "I have observed you, and your strength is good." ”

Then Shang Rui was flattered and thanked Xuannian Mountain for his acceptance and cultivation.

After that, she looked at herself seriously, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her, she had lived on Xuannian Mountain for eleven years, and she had only worked hard for a year, and she was afraid of being criticized by Master Fan.

Fan Shi said at the time: "The level of one year is good, and if there are more opportunities, there may be surprises." ”

The first half of the sentence seems to be poking her hard enough, and the second half of the sentence is full of expectations for her, what is this trying to say?

After that, Master Fan stood up and walked a few steps before sitting back in place, their sense of oppression increasing and decreasing with their movements, and then Yueyi heard Master Fan's decision to let her go down the mountain.

••••••

Recalling this day made Yueyi very tired, but he couldn't sleep at all. In the second half of the night, she became more and more agitated, when the little boy happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

He didn't eat fish today, and he was forgotten by Yueyi, and now he comes to her house in the middle of the night to complain. But as soon as he popped his head out of the windowsill, he was glared at by Yueyi's eyes.

"Ahh He rolled around on the ground in fright.

"What?" Tsukichi wrote impatience on his face.

The little boy who was jumping around clasped his fingers and said, "I heard that you are going down the mountain..." ”

Yueyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, held back the last trace of sleepiness, and walked to the front door to let him in and talk.

After a while, the two of them sat at the table, and Yue Yi drank tea wildly, while considering the feasibility of this matter, and finally refused, "I'm afraid it won't work, the disciples can only go down the mountain with permission, and they have to travel lightly." Xiao Guo's nest of rabbits in the backyard can't be taken away if he wants to, and Damori's own wooden sword made of spiritual bamboo has also been left, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you away. "Not to mention how powerful Xuannian Mountain's ban is.

Yueyi's embarrassment was real, but the little boy waved his hand and said, "I can go anywhere, just follow you and talk to you... ”

The little boy was not big, but he had a shrewd head. Yueyi saw that he didn't need friends at all, but wanted to eat white food.

Yue Yi was silent for a while, he was anxious, took her hand and pleaded: "Please, I will die of hunger and death alone if you leave." ”

Forget it·· Yueyi promised, "You give me some obedience." ”

He nodded excitedly and swore with both hands.

Also because of the conversation in the middle of the night, the day dawned exceptionally fast. Yueyi and Shang Rui met at Xuanmen, and at this time they only brought a small package with each other. Because there were no particularly close friends in the villa to see them off, they planned to go on the road after listening to the elder's routine instructions, but Master Fan appeared for the second time to see them off in person!

The two were stunned, "Fan Shi..."

Fan Shi stopped without approaching, he looked at Yueyi and said, "This is a special case, so I came here to give a few words." And motioned for Yueyi to speak alone.

Yueyi looked at Shang Rui, Shang Rui didn't say anything, and then turned his back. Yueyi took a step forward and leaned forward slightly.

Master Fan said: "I promise you a special case, don't think about it, yesterday I saw the dark clouds above your head, and called you to see that there was indeed a catastrophe." The changes in this calamity within two years are unknown, and it can be big or small, all depending on creation. This time I let you go down the mountain, I hope you will seek your own life, and I will wait and see what the result will be. Before leaving, I would like to tell you a few words: I know that you have no desires and desires in your life, and you are at ease, but sometimes you must have in your life, and you can only take the initiative to grasp the opportunity, and I don't want to see a tragedy. ”

Will you experience life and death in two years?

Yueyi couldn't help but cover her heart, so what did Master Fan mean that if you didn't work hard, you would have to die? The sky is going to die, salted fish!
