Chapter 178: Into the Mountain
Hearing the question of the girl in front of her, Meng Ge was stunned, and the next moment she looked at the woman in front of her who still had scars on her cheeks, closed her eyes and spoke.
"I can't, I don't want to, and I don't dare."
Meng Ge said calmly, "I still have to take medicine every day, and I can't practice swords, not to mention Your Highness, the folk girl doesn't want to go to Ningguta yet." ”
"That's it." The girl in front of her nodded.
Listening to the calmness in her tone, Meng Ge's brows furrowed quietly under his hat.
"The parents of the folk girl passed away early, and the elder brother was the only one left in the family, and it was not easy for the elder brother to bring the folk daughter to the eldest child, and the folk daughter did not want to cause more trouble to the elder brother."
To be honest, Meng Ge felt that the woman in front of him was a little standing and talking without backache.
Not everyone has the same family background and luck as hers.
She and her brother's home was located near the Great Wall of Yongye in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Xirong cavalry invasion almost destroyed the village, because the officers and soldiers who rescued the people came too late, and she and her brother's parents and relatives all died, leaving her and her brother to rely on each other.
And when she was born, she was trapped in her mother's womb for too long, and she was sick and weak, and she couldn't be cured no matter how she was treated.
If it weren't for her brother's desperate struggle, they wouldn't even have the money for food, let alone the money for her daily medicine.
These families and royal families are absolutely unable to understand this.
And how could she implicate her brother in order to be in the limelight?
For her, it is her greatest wish to live well and find a good home in the future, and she really doesn't want to mix with anything else.
This woman is so resistant to breaking the rules, but it will bring more vigilance to the nuns. In the years she had grown up, the ideas she had accepted had long since disappeared from her spiritual practice. What's more, in the past few years, even if there were occasional cultivators who wanted to resist, most of them were just a whim, and no one could hold out to the end.
wants to emulate the two demon girls who caused all this, and they are so upstanding that they rebel and leave.
Nuns are not allowed to practice.
To this day, that's what everyone around her says to her, except ......
However, thinking of the person who had suffered a lot for her, Meng Ge bit her lip tightly, and looked at the woman in front of her who didn't say what she was thinking after all.
But what she just said also showed her attitude, and I wonder if it has angered this delusional princess.
However, Meng Ge didn't expect that the woman in front of him just looked at her and smiled, and said softly, "You respect your brother very much. ”
"I ......" Meng Ge was stunned, she obviously disapproved of this woman in what she said just now, why did this girl only care about this?
"Everyone has their own ambitions," Ying Baoyue stared at the girl in front of her, although she was sick and weak, she seemed to be well protected.
I'm afraid it's because someone took her place and suffered part of the pain.
"Miss Meng, your body is indeed not suitable for blowing wind," Ying Baoyue looked at her and smiled, "Take care, I still have to forge a sword, go first." ”
"Congratulations...... Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess," Meng Ge was stunned and saluted.
Ying hugged the moon and returned the salute, and then left with Guichen.
"Miss, let's go back quickly." The little girl beside her urged.
But looking at the girl's back, Meng Ge didn't move his steps for a long time.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the back that was very similar to her, but much thinner.
"Well, let's go back," Meng Ge looked at the little girl ring beside her, she looked up at the sky, "Go back and go to the pharmacy by the way, the primary ceremony is coming, we ......"
She paused and spoke, "Put the big ...... Let's buy the medicine of the eldest brother as well. ”
……
……
People from all walks of life, moving in all directions.
No matter how many people looked forward to it and how many people didn't, three days after the feast and the opening ceremony of the Beginner Ceremony, that moment finally came.
The Beginner Ceremony has officially begun.
The current Elementary Ceremony in Southern Chu is basically the same as the rules and processes that Ying Baoyue learned in his previous life, although the Qin Empire has collapsed, all the tests of the Elementary Ceremony have proved their practicability with actual results. The cultivators who were able to achieve a good ranking in the beginner ceremony all became strong in the end, and there were very few who stood out from the crowd. This also maintains the prestige of the Beginner Canon.
After the Qin Empire was shattered, all countries were desperately trying to strengthen their strength, although there was enmity against a series of rules formulated by the high-level and great priests of various countries, but each country had no enmity against powerful cultivators, and for the survival of the national fortunes of each country, no matter how old the rules were, they could grit their teeth and endure it.
When she looked at the exam items on the bamboo slips, Ying Baoyue didn't expect that one day she would try them all.
The order and content of the examination formulated by the Great Priest simplified some of the test content of the previous dynasty, which was simple and easy to understand and divided, and finally continued to be used today.
The beginner canon is divided into crowd battles and individual battles, and each battle has three rounds, and the first round of the beginner canon is a representative of the simple and easy-to-understand rules.
There's only one thing to do.
That's going up the mountain.
"That's too many, isn't it?" Looking at the crowd standing under a barren mountain, Guichen, who was sitting in the carriage, poked his head out and sighed.
"It's the only day I can sigh like this," and just then the voice of another teenager sounded in the carriage.
Hearing this, Guichen glared at Chen Zichu, who was obviously Nan Chu's stepson but came with him, "What do you mean?" ”
"This first round is used to screen the number of people," Chen Zichu looked out the window and said lightly, "In that year, less than half of the people who entered the mountain were those who finally walked out of this mountain. ”
Less than half......
Guichen was shocked when he heard this.
"Back then...... Ying Baoyue looked at Chen Zichu, "It should be the last session, right?" ”
Chen Zichu nodded.
Only half of them walked out, and even though the mountains were dangerous, the rate was staggering. Ying Baoyue frowned when she heard this.
"There was a very serious private fight in the last session," Chen Zichu said, "If it wasn't for Jiashu's presence and some people were shocked, the scene would have gotten even more out of control." ”
In other words, having someone like Ji Jiashu is still in chaos like that, which also shows how terrible the situation was at that time.
It's no wonder that Ji Jiashu had such a reaction when she said she was going before.
Words for this year...... What will become of it?
"Here we are." At this moment, the carriage stopped, and the three of them had reached the place where the first round of the battle was held.
The highest peak in Southern Chu except Zihua Mountain, Tianmu Mountain.
The first level of the Nanchu Elementary Ceremony was held here.
Unlike Zihua Mountain, where the Jixia School Palace is located, Tianmu Mountain is a barren mountain, and there is not a single temple or family on the mountain, just because this mountain peak is not suitable for anyone to live in.
Stepping out of the carriage, Ying Baoyue stood at the foot of the mountain, quietly staring at the miasma-surrounded peaks in the distance.
This is the eye of the heavens, and it is also a treacherous place full of countless traps and fierce beasts.
And it was on this peak that it all began.
Because the order of Qin entering the mountain ranked second, so Ying Baoyue and his party arrived relatively early, and a shed had been erected at the foot of the mountain.
And this is also the way for the team arranged by Yingxun before to gather people.
"Then I'm going to Nanchu, I hope we don't see each other in the mountains," a certain Nanchu stepson stepped out of the carriage and glanced at Qianqin's shed, and waved goodbye to Ying Baoyue and Guichen.
Ying Baoyue knew very well the meaning of Chen Zichu's wish that they would not see each other in the mountains.
If seen there, they will most likely become enemies.
Ying Baoyue and Guichen walked side by side to Qianqin's shed, and the other cultivators who were watching along the way looked at them with strange expressions.
"Guichen, you didn't fire, you really came." Just as they were about to walk into the shed, a cold male voice suddenly came from the two of them, and when they turned around, they found that it was Huo Zhan standing there.
Huo Zhan looked at Guichen and wanted to sneer a few words, but the next moment he found something and was suddenly stunned.
"You...... How could it be ......"
Huo Zhan looked at Guichen in front of him in amazement, the reason why he was surprised was that the young man in front of him, this weed who was still rank ten the day before.
And yet now.
Huo Zhan looked at Guichen's pupils flickering, "How did you become a ......?"
Tier 9?
"It can't be!" Huo Zhan asked loudly, "What did you do?" Could it be that you have taken evil medicine? It's better to be honest! ”
He looked at the young man in front of him in amazement.
Looking at the young man who was ridiculed the day before, today he is already a cultivator of the ninth rank.
