Nearly 10,000 people came to sign up for the enrollment of Nanzhao Guotai College, of which nearly 3,000 were from outside Nanzhao, and 7,000 were from Nanzhao himself.

The first step of screening eliminated some undetermined people, who were purely here to join in the fun, and the remaining 9,000 people.

In the second step of screening, some people who were too young and less than 6 years old were eliminated, and nearly 500 people were eliminated, and these people and their families were persuaded by kind words to let them come back after some years of age.

In the third step of screening, some people who were too old, over 50 years old and in poor health were eliminated, and they were persuaded to leave, and the travel expenses were issued to make them return home. Among them, there were a few people who were determined and insisted on staying, and after the Lunatic Cult members reported to the Lunatic Sect Master, they kept them.

After five days of preliminary screening, nearly half of the people were eliminated, and only about 5,000 people remained, of which half were Nanzhao natives and half foreigners.

After that, they began to sign the enrollment deeds one by one.

At this time, among the nearly 2,000 foreigners, only more than 1,000 people had no objection and signed and pledged, and the remaining nearly half were unwilling to sign the deed of admission, they would rather pay a high amount of bonds.

Baiyue knew that most of the people who were willing to sign the deed of admission were from poor families or small landowner families, and for them, it was a good deal to trade twenty years of work for a promotion.

Those who are unwilling to sign the deed of admission must be from wealthy families or bureaucratic families in various countries, and for them, they would rather spend a large sum of money than waste time.

For these, the moon worship didn't care about it, treated everyone equally, and didn't treat it differently.

After the screening is completed, those who are not selected will naturally go back to their respective homes, find their own mothers, and wait for the class to be divided.

Divide into classes, choose the major according to your age and wishes.

Among them, due to the difference in learning, it is divided into two categories: culture and skills, and in popular terms, it is the difference between modern universities and junior colleges.

Those under the age of 16 are forced to choose culture as the main business, supplemented by martial arts, and then choose a skill, such as blacksmithing, carpentering, planting, etc.

Those who have reached the age of 16 are free to choose one main job and then one side job.

Among them, men and women are divided into classes, and each does not intersect.

After these things, it was already half a month later.

After the opening ceremony was held, Tai College began to teach, but it may be three or five years before this group of people grows up.

…………

On the other side, after attending the opening ceremony of the moon worship, Chen Heng and his party returned to Chang'an City.

After all, Liu Jinyuan, as the champion of the new department, should almost go to the Ministry of Officials to order, and after waiting for nearly a month, the imperial court has assigned the position to come down, and the prince of the East Palace is a waiter and an editor of the Hanlin Academy.

"The Origin of Things, the Constitutional Prince's Servant Reading" has a saying: The prince serves readers, the officials of the East Palace, selects literary scholars, serves the prince to read, lectures and reads scriptures, and belongs to the seven products.

That is, the idle official position of accompanying the prince to study.

In fact, its important role is to cultivate talents, similar to the nature of modern interns.

Judging from the size of the award, it is not good or bad, and the compilation of the Hanlin Academy is the only way for every top three in the imperial examination, which is the norm, but the prince's reading is an addition.

"It turned out that they were all just small officials, but I thought that after winning the top prize, I could become a big official and become the prime minister!"

After listening to Liu Jinyuan's explanation, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but be disappointed.

Chen Hengzhi said with a smile: "Xiaoyao, you don't know how to learn, generally speaking, there is no one in ten thousand who wins the champion in the imperial examination, and those who can worship the prime minister in the end are even more amazing, and there may not be one in 10,000 officials." ”

"And the top student in the exam can only prove that you can read, it doesn't mean that you can be an official, in the official system, you are still a novice, you don't know anything, you have to learn from scratch, you want to be promoted to prime minister all of a sudden, you are dreaming."

"You ask Jin Yuan, even if he is allowed to serve as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, will he be competent? Will he be able to govern this big country? Can he reconcile the relationship between the three provinces and six ministries? Can he handle the contradictions between the emperor and the hundred officials? ”

A series of questions suddenly blinded Li Xiaoyao.

He opened his mouth, his mind blank.

When Liu Jinyuan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Back to the master, the disciple can't!" If you don't go through all kinds of trials, how can you dare to take on heavy responsibilities lightly? Maybe ten or twenty years later, the disciples can give it a try! ”

Chen Hengzhi patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly: "The ambition is commendable, in fact, being the prime minister is not as difficult as imagined, with your qualifications and understanding of Jin Yuan, maybe within ten years, you can be promoted to Shangshu and then to the position of prime minister." ”

Liu Jinyuan smiled slightly: "The disciple should not let go!" ”

"Excellent! Take good care of you for the teacher! Chen Hengzhi said: "It's been nearly a month in Chang'an City, we should also leave, Jin Yuan, if there is anything in the future, please contact us as a teacher at any time, and we will leave." ”

During this period of time, everyone's martial arts have improved a lot, and Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru's progress is extremely obvious.

Perhaps because Liu Jinyuan began to practice martial arts, Li Xiaoyao practiced martial arts more diligently every day, and his martial arts had reached the realm of a great grandmaster, which could be said to be a thousand miles a day.

Lin Yueru is also not far behind, and has reached the realm of a grandmaster.

Only Liu Jinyuan's martial arts were a little worse, barely reaching the innate realm, of course, this was obtained by daily penance without using points.

In his words, if it is not necessary, it is more reassuring to cultivate the strength bit by bit.

In this regard, Chen Hengzhi was quite approving.

Everyone has their own choice, they can be diligent and work hard to cultivate, this is a good thing, how could Chen Hengzhi disapprove, of course, if there is a shortcut, he will not object.

As far as he is concerned, if it weren't for Kaihang, he wouldn't have embarked on this path of seeking the Tao at all, let alone in the future.

The days of penance in Chang'an lasted for nearly a month, and everyone had made progress in rebirth, Chen Hengzhi finally felt bored and made up his mind to leave Chang'an and go elsewhere.

"Master, have a good trip!"

Liu Jinyuan took Caiyi and said goodbye in front of Shangshu Mansion.

Since Liu Jinyuan entered the congenital stage, the butterfly demon has turned into a human form, accompanied by left and right, and added fragrance to his red sleeves to repay the grace of saving his life.

…………

After leaving Chang'an City, I walked for a while.

At this time, Chen Hengzhi suddenly stopped, he frowned, and whispered to himself: "Sword Saint, what is he doing here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, at the top of the mountain in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared, it was Yin Ruoclumsy, the head of the Shushan Sword Sect, the Sword Saint!

The look is calm and the eyes are calm!

The child's face is crane-haired, and his appearance seems to be only thirty or forty years old, but his head is full of silver threads, which is extremely inconsistent with his appearance.

Dressed in a moon-white robe, with long hair and a shawl, and his hands behind his back, he walked slowly, giving a sense of calm, as if facing the deep sea and the endless starry sky.

This is the head of the Shushan Sword Sect, the sword saint Yin Ruo.

When the Sword Saint saw Chen Hengzhi, his face was indifferent, and he said, "Where did Your Excellency come from?" I have searched all over the world, but I have not found any trace of your existence! Why did you frame my junior brother? ”

Since Mo Yixi's accident, the Sword Saint personally investigated, he went to Yuhang Town, and used the method of returning to the light to check the person who plotted against Mo Yixi, only to see the figure flash, and then disappeared, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

But after inquiry, the Sword Master learned of Chen Hengzhi's existence, and then, he began to track down Chen Hengzhi's origin, but found a fog, and could only find out that Chen Hengzhi's first appearance was in Yuhang Town.

I don't know anything about the rest, my origins, my upbringing, etc.

Even if the Sword Master checked it by divination, he didn't get anything.

Therefore, the Juggernaut tracked all the way to Chang'an City.

Chen Hengzhi smiled indifferently: "Sword Saint, is this checking Chen's household registration?" Could it be that the Shushan Sword Sect is doing things for the imperial court? ”

"Your Excellency refuses to tell your origin, could it be that the Upper Realm said that the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon is not successful?"

When the Sword Saint heard this, his sword eyes were furious, and he said coldly: "Let me learn your Excellency's tricks, and see what your Excellency is capable of, and even let the upper realm issue a wanted warrant!" ”

"Hehe, has Shushan already been a lackey of the Heavenly Realm? Then let the horse come, I'm afraid you won't make it? ”

Chen Hengzhi said, and the figure slowly disappeared.

Seeing this, the Sword Saint sneered, his figure flashed, and followed.

Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru glanced at each other, both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and couldn't understand what the two meant.

couldn't help but look around, where was there still the figure of Chen Hengzhi and the others, at this moment, there was a sound in the sky, Li Xiaoyao looked up, and exclaimed: "Evil girl, in the sky!" ”

Lin Yueru looked up, and sure enough, it was so.

I saw that thousands of feet away from the two of them were in the air, Chen Hengzhi and the Sword Saint were standing in the air, concentrating on each other, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Suddenly, I saw a five-colored light blooming from Chen Hengzhi's body, but it was he who took the lead.

Immediately, white, blue, red, and yellow, a beam of light rose from his palm, dividing the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the five-colored brilliance flowed, turning into a huge ball of energy suspended on the palm of his left hand, exuding terrifying might.

"Reverse the Five Elements!"

Reciting the mantra, Chen Hengzhi's right hand was raised, and the five fingers were staggered in an instant, stacking countless complicated law seals, and he saw that the runes one by one slowly floated up in the air, flashing with a slight light, like a swimming fish, flying around his body, intertwined with five colors, very gorgeous.

"Edict!"

Without the slightest delay, he saw that at the place where the Dharma seal in Chen Hengzhi's hand started, the thousands of runes suspended in the air around him were suddenly arranged and combined, forming a huge torrent, rising against the sky, crashing straight into the five-colored ball of light, and then merging into it.

"Buzz .........."

Accompanied by a burst of non-existent Weng Ming, on the originally five-colored ball of light, a series of supernatural patterns quickly appeared, crisscrossing and spreading, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a powerful prohibition, flickering, and extinguishing it.

"Go!"

He gently pushed, and the terrifying five-colored ball of light slowly flew away.

In the sky, a ball of colorful light appeared, condensed into a dragon shape, and rushed straight towards the Sword Master, this ball of light, like an aurora, bright and dazzling, with a sharp edge that penetrated the heavens and the earth.

"Little Five Elements Divine Power, Reverse Five Elements!"

This is Chen Hengzhi's mixed divine power comprehended from the five elements of the child, the power of the five elements is arranged in the order of mutual restraint, once it touches the target, it will definitely burst out with terrifying lethality.

At this critical juncture, the Sword Saint no longer hesitated, the sword light flashed, and the sword qi flew one after another, forming a sword realm and protecting himself in it.

At the same time, he sang like an epic in his mouth: "Humanity is insignificant, and the immortal road is reckless."

Ghosts are happy, and they are the door of life.

Immortals are noble, ghosts are noble...

… Recite the demon spirits and kill the six ghost blades.

The weather is swinging, and my road is prosperous! ”

I saw that every time he uttered a spell, he formed an ethereal formation, layered on the sword realm, like a thick turtle shell.

The five-colored ball of light seemed to be slow and fast, and at the moment when the Sword Saint had just completed the sword realm, it came.

There was a burst of "zizz! The sound sounded, and the moment the ball of light came into contact with the sword realm, it exploded.

The elephant is invisible!

On the ground, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru only saw a strong burst of light, their eyes immediately ached, tears flowed sideways, and they couldn't see anything.

In mid-air, it was like an atomic bomb exploding, with the two of them as the center, and the energy waves were like mushroom clouds, advancing outward layer by layer, and the terrifying power destroyed everything in its path.

Seeing this, Chen Hengzhi and Sword Saint dared to stay wherever they wanted, and they all retreated frantically.

It wasn't until he withdrew a hundred miles that he stopped.

Looking around, I saw that a hill below had been smoothed out, and this was only the aftermath of the energy, if the two fought on the ground, I am afraid that Chang'an City, which was not far away, would be destroyed.

Both of them saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, Chen Hengzhi waved his hand and said: "The Dao method of the Shushan Sword Sect is really unique, Chen admires it, I don't know if you want to continue?" ”

The Sword Saint took a deep breath, recovered the depleted mana, looked at Chen Heng deeply, and arched his hand: "Your Excellency's mana is profound, and the magic power is boundless, I am ashamed of myself, farewell!" ”

With that, a white light flashed, and the Sword Master had disappeared.

Chen Hengzhi slowly lowered his figure, but saw Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru both gray-faced, and their eyes couldn't open, obviously affected by the aftermath of the battle.

He waved his hand, and an emerald green light appeared, falling above the two of them, circling twice over them, and submerging into their bodies.

After washing their bodies and minds, after a while, the two of them returned to normal, except for the appearance of a little messy, the injuries they had suffered had completely recovered.

"Great Immortal, was that the Shushan Sword Saint just now?"

Li Xiaoyao stroked the hair in front of his forehead, and said with palpitations: "The aftermath of the two of you almost sent me away!" ”

"Alright, let's go!" Chen Hengzhi smiled and didn't say anything.

"No, I'm going to retreat and cultivate! I'm too weak! ”

Li Xiaoyao was unusual, saying that he would not leave.

Chen Hengzhi stopped and turned his head: "Oh? Well, that's fine! So, Miss Lin, what about you? ”

Lin Yueru looked at Li Xiaoyao, seeing that he had changed his previous frivolity, his face was extremely solemn, and her heart seemed to be plucked, and she couldn't help but say: "I... I'm not going either, I'll stay in Chang'an with the thief, I... To look at him, I ......"

Under Chen Hengzhi's playful gaze, Lin Yueru's face turned red in an instant, and she was quite shy.

"Okay, haha!" Chen Hengyi smiled: "Shame and courage, very good, then you can retreat in Chang'an City, I'll go." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned into a flying rainbow and disappeared in an instant.

"Great Immortal True God Man!" Li Xiaoyao looked at Chen Hengzhi's leaving figure and sighed.

"Little thief, let's go, we're going to work hard!" Lin Yueru stepped on him, turned around and left.

"You wicked girl, you dare to step on me!" Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but be furious and chased after him.

………………

After flying a distance, Chen Hengzhi stopped in the air.

He flipped his palms, holding a bead in each hand, and the one on the left exuded a faint earthy yellow, which was the earth spirit bead; The power of thunder and lightning flashing with a trace of blazing white in his right hand was none other than the Thunder Spirit Bead.

In the world of fairy swords, according to legend since ancient times, the great god Nuwa gathered the five qi of heaven and earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth, and refined them into five spirit beads, which were used to subdue the demons, control the flood, and save the common people.

There are even rumors that as long as you collect five spirit beads, you can change the world and recreate the world.

Regarding the so-called rumors that having five spirit beads can change the sky and the earth, Chen Hengzhi scoffed, and it is not the five spirit beads in the pig man, the five spirit guards, and the world can be changed!

Of course, if you don't believe it, this kind of legendary treasure, you can just collect it and try it, and if the rumors are true, try it and don't lose anything.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the five spirit beads don't have that special ability, they won't lose money if they collect them.

For Chen Hengzhi, who has a slight treasure collecting habit, since he has come to the fairy sword world, there is no reason to let go of these five spirit beads and turn a blind eye.

At present, the two pearls of earth and thunder have been obtained, and the three pearls of water, wind and fire are missing.

"In the original work, the Wind Spirit Bead and the Fire Spirit Bead are kept by the Phoenix and the Qilin respectively, and the two divine beasts often haunt the vicinity of the Nuwa Temple, and the Water Spirit Bead... It seems to be Li Xiaoyao's childhood toy? ”

Chen Hengzhi rubbed his chin and thought to himself: "However, now that the plot has changed greatly, it is difficult to guarantee that the follow-up plot will not change, and the two divine beasts may not be seen in the Nuwa Temple." ”

Moreover, for Nuwa, even if it was her temple, if it was not a last resort, Chen Hengzhi did not want to go, and was even more afraid of contact.

"Forget it, first the easy and then the difficult, first go to Yuhang Town to find the water spirit beads, and then plot the other two beads."

After thinking about it, he nodded heavily, muttered to himself, put away the two beads of Tulei, identified the direction, and changed his route to the east.

After a while, Chen Hengzhi appeared in the sky above Yuhang Town, his mind moved, and the overwhelming divine thoughts slanted out, from the east of Yuhang Town, inch by inch, sweeping by, to the west, not letting go of an inch of land.

A moment later, sure enough, as expected, in Yuhang Town, in an inconspicuous corner, the famous Water Spirit Bead was lying there, no one cared about it, and it seemed to be very lonely.

Chen Hengzhi stretched out his hand and grabbed the water spirit bead in his hand, and looked at it, the dark blue bead had no aura fluctuations, no spirituality at all, and it didn't match the famous water spirit bead at all.

But he knows that the gods are obscure, and their appearance is not good.

In the original work, more than ten years ago, Li Sansi, the father of Li Xiaoyao, went to Miao Xinjiang to steal the Miao holy relic, the poisonous dragon, in order to exorcise and heal the Huangfu Eagle, but by the way, he also stole the holy relic, the water spirit bead, which has been passed down from generation to generation in Miaojiang, causing him to be cursed by the Black Miao Wizard and finally die.

If it weren't for the self-obscurity of the water spirit bead, Li Sansi would not have treated it as a toy and played with it as a marble for Li Xiaoyao in his childhood.

At the same time, it was Li Sansi's stealing that led to the entire Nanzhao drought for ten years, black seedlings and white seedlings killed for water sources, and countless people died.

If it weren't for the birth of the Moon Worship Sect Master, I am afraid that the Nanzhao Kingdom would have become history and would have disappeared.

After obtaining the Water Spirit Bead, the spirit bead collection journey has been completed for the most part, and only the last Wind and Fire Bead remains.

No longer staying, Chen Hengzhi flew straight towards Nanzhaoguo.

The golden-winged phoenix is in the Shenmu Forest, and the fire unicorn is in the Qilin Cave, both of which are near Dali City.

………………

ps: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be limited to free, so, I have to make this decision, a chapter of 10,000 words split into two chapters of 5,000 words, after the resumption of charges, I will make up a chapter.
