What happened at the Christmas Ball was enough for all the students to reminisce about for a long time.

also left enough talking points for everyone to go to gossip and guess after dinner.

Yunhai High School was deflated at the Christmas Ball last year, and all the students held their breath, and this year they finally raised their eyebrows, and the whole school was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Many people are secretly admiring in their hearts, admiring both Ye Cuo and Yunni.

"If you want to say that the goddess Yunni has a vicious eye, two months ago, Ye Cuo was still unknown in everyone's eyes, and at that time Yunni took the initiative to confess. ”

"Who said no, I was in the same class as Ye Cuo, and I didn't see anything special about Ye Cuo, but I didn't expect that just two months later, everyone's fate would be different. ”

"I think I should go to Xia Yunni and ask her to show me a face and see if I can get ahead in the future. ”

"Your face is not as long as your feet, and you are outstanding, and no one will carry you when you go out of the funeral. ”

"Fuck off! Lao Tzu, this is called an awl face, do you understand the little fresh meat? I think there should be a school flower goddess who will confess to me in the future, and you will be envious at that time. ”

It's not surprising that the boys in the school think so, but there are also many girls who have gone to Yunni in private and asked her how she can see Ye Cuo's future development.

They also want to invest early and choose a potential stock.

Yun Nixin said: How do I know, the system chose it for me.

Of course, this couldn't be said explicitly, so Yun Ni made up an excuse, saying that he had dreamed that Ye Cuo's whole body was glowing with golden light and turned into a dragon.

Everyone's heart: Didn't you say that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a sperm?

Shortly after Christmas, the shock caused by Ye Cuo had not disappeared, and there was another tremor in the entire Yunhai City.

This time it was a real shock.

The time of the incident was one night, Ye Cuo had already fallen asleep, and was awakened by a loud noise.

When he walked out of the door of the room with a hint of surprise to check, in another room, Jiang Duyun also walked out sleepily and looked at Ye Cuo: "Earthquake?"

"I don't know!"

Both of them were so worried that they didn't sleep all night.

It wasn't until early the next morning that I saw the news push.

"Yesterday, a major breakthrough was made in the East China Sea's 'Dragon Palace Project', and the underwater labyrinth was successfully excavated, causing a small earthquake. ”

"Dragon Palace Project?" Ye Cuo pondered.

He suddenly thought of the palace hidden in the submarine mountain range that he had seen when he had been driven to the bottom of the sea before.

In the next few days, the teachers and students of the whole school were discussing the Dragon Palace project.

Many people know that the real purpose of the Dragon Palace Project is to excavate the stone tablet of the Heavenly Book Dao Explanation.

And the number of stone tablets explained by the Heavenly Book is closely related to the number of gods in a country.

Once the Dragon Palace plan is really successful, it is very likely that Huaxia will have its own fourth god list master.

At that time, the number of gods in China will be equal to that of Tsarist Russia and the European Union.

This is indeed a very celebratory event.

......

Kamigyo City, Headquarters of the Martial Arts Association.

The heads of the four sects, eight sects, and twelve martial arts universities were all gathered in a large conference room.

On the rostrum, it was Yu Chunqiu with several vice presidents and government personnel.

The atmosphere of the scene was solemn with a hint of depression, although the entire venue was full of people, no one made any sound.

Yu Chunqiu looked a few years older than the last time he saved Ye Cuo, and his hair was a little gray.

He's only fifty years old, but he looks like he's in his sixties or seventies.

The position of the president of the Martial Arts Association is a symbol of power and status in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Yu Chunqiu, it is a big trouble.

The heart that can't be finished and the things that can't be done make him seem to be much more brainy than his peers.

When everyone arrived, Yu Chunqiu coughed, cleared his throat, and said to everyone:

"Just a few days ago, the Dragon Palace project made a phased breakthrough.

Today, I called the leaders of the major sects and universities to report to you the progress of the Martial Arts Association in the past year. ”

After speaking, he turned to a secretary-like person beside him: "Xiao Wu, you read the document out." ”

The secretary nodded, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and read a document in his hand:

"On December 17, 2018, while excavating in the East China Sea Bay, the undersea excavation team unearthed an oval-shaped metal fragment with an area of about 14 x 27 centimeters.

There are unidentified pattern carvings on the fragments, and the shape is somewhat similar to the inscription of the Tianshu Daojie stone tablet, but it is not exactly the same.

According to laboratory tests, this piece of metal fragment was cast 170 million years ago, and the constituent elements of the metal material cannot be detected at present, and it may be a new element.

Scientists conducted a magnetic field examination on the submarine mountain range where this piece of metal fragment was excavated, and detected that there was a huge space about 50 meters below the submarine mountain range.

On December 29, all undersea excavation teams assembled to excavate the mountain range, and a landslide occurred that night, causing a minor earthquake.

At present, the first phase of excavation work has been completed, and the operation is more difficult due to the excessive water pressure on the seabed.

What we have unearthed for the time being is just an entrance to that mysterious space.

Preliminary detection revealed that there was a palace hidden in the mountain, the exact size of which is unknown, and the materials used to cast the palace were consistent with the metal fragments from previous excavations. ”

After Secretary Wu finished reading the materials, the heads of the major sects and Wuke University on the scene couldn't help but glance at each other a few times.

One of the old men had a goatee, and it was Gu Changqing, an elder of the Tiannan faction that Ye Cuo had seen in the Nie family before.

Gu Changqing twisted his beard and said with a hint of doubt: "Since the people from the Martial Arts Association are here, why didn't they send an advance team into the palace to get first-hand information?"

All of them nodded secretly and looked at Yu Chunqiu together.

Yu Chunqiu rubbed his brows, sat up straight and said, "Elder Gu is right, it's just that it is indeed difficult for the advance team to enter the palace at present.

The entrance to the palace opened by the excavation team is probably only one of the entrances to the palace.

This entrance is a corridor with a depth of about 50 meters, and it is full of mechanisms.

The advance team sacrificed a lot of people, and finally reached the end of the road, but found a door. ”

After speaking, Yu Chunqiu waved his hand.

On one wall-large LCD screen in the conference room, a dim photograph appeared.

The photograph was taken underwater, in the dark, muddy waters, soaked in a metal gate the size of half a football field.

The door was cast in bronze and carved with intricate patterns, like branches and tentacles of a kraken.

Entangled with each other, they eventually converged into a strange symbol in the middle of the gate.

This symbol looks very familiar to many of the people present.

"Eighteen?"

Someone couldn't help but blurt out.

This symbol does represent the meaning of eighteen.

This is a symbol that countless martial arts sages have cracked from the Heavenly Book Dao Interpretation Stone Tablet.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "What does this eighteen mean? The eighteenth entrance to the palace?"

"Could it be that the palace has eighteen floors?"

"It is also possible that the eighteenth stone tablet of the Heavenly Book Dao Explanation, didn't some scientists put forward a judgment before, saying that the stone tablet of the Heavenly Book Dao Interpretation is numbered, and all the stone tablets are arranged in order, will there be magical things happening? ”

"I think it should be eighteen martial arts supernatural powers. ”

"Don't guess, listen to what the president means. ”

Everyone looked at Yu Chunqiu again.

Yu Chunqiu said: "This eighteen, in fact, we guessed a lot of meanings at the beginning, but later found out that they were not right.

Until yesterday, a director of the martial arts association in Henan Province raised a conjecture, saying that people under the age of eighteen could enter.

To test this hypothesis, he took his son to the bottom of the sea and let the child touch the metal door.

Then his child was sucked through the door and has not been heard from since. ”

The scene was silent.

All the sects and martial arts universities have paid a terrible price for discovering the stone tablet of the Heavenly Book Dao Explanation.

Many of the people present had relatives or children and students who died during the excavation.

For a while, the atmosphere in the venue was a bit of a relation.

Yu Chunqiu said: "So I invite you to come here today just to discuss with you what we should do next."

At present, it is almost certain that this eighteen represents the number of years.

No one over the age of eighteen can enter the underwater labyrinth through this entrance.

But children under the age of 18 are not yet mature.

So the question we are facing now is whether to continue to spend money to explore other entrances, or to select a group of young talents under the age of 18 to explore the underwater labyrinth. ”

After Yu Chunqiu's words were finished, a fierce discussion immediately sounded at the scene.

"We can't continue to spend financial resources, for so many years, the Kunlun Ruins Project and the Dragon Palace Plan have been carried out at the same time, and a total of trillions of funds have been spent, whether it is the National Martial Arts Association, or the major sects and martial arts universities, the loss of human and financial resources is innumerable. If the excavation continues, the stele will not be excavated, but it will bring great trouble. I recommend selecting teenagers and entering the underwater labyrinth. ”

"Master Li, you can't think about it like that. Children under the age of eighteen, the current highest cultivation is Su Ya, who is the first on the Lingyun List, and she is only in the early stage of the Spirit Martial Arts. What can they do when they enter the labyrinth?"

"yes, now that we've unearthed an entrance, there should be something else. For example, twenty-eight and thirty-eight, then you can choose a middle-aged martial artist to enter. ”

"But have you ever thought that if there is no other entrance? Who has decreed that if there is an eighteen, there must be an entrance of twenty-eight thirty-eight?"

"We have to think about the future of the motherland, first of all, it is uncertain whether there is a heavenly book in this labyrinth, if this group of young talents is directly sent in, in case life and death are unknown, the future seedlings of the country will be destroyed. ”

"Young people just want to experience, they can't withstand this wind and rain, and they will be waste materials when they grow up in the future, what's the use?"

"Elder Jin, don't just open your mouth to come, if the young talents on the Lingyun list are ruined because of this, you have to apologize to the people of the whole country. ”

“......”

The scene is divided into two factions, one group advocates continuing to explore other entrances, and the other group advocates remaking the Lingyun list and taking the top ten to enter the underwater labyrinth.

The two factions argued endlessly, and neither could convince the other.

The meeting lasted several days and finally decided to vote.

......

Yunhai City.

The days after the Christmas Ball are a little relaxed and plain, and Ye Cuo's daily life is constant training.

Among this year's batch of martial arts students, Ye Cuo, Yun Ni, Ji Chen, Nie Fan and Zhang Tianzhe took the lead in standing out, and their physical fitness reached the standard of martial arts practice and began to practice martial arts.

In the blink of an eye, the holiday is approaching, and just when all the students are in Cao Ying's heart and looking forward to the winter vacation, the Martial Arts Institute of the National Martial Arts Association issued a notice.

"Lingyun changes the list!"

"The National Academy of Martial Arts will assess the young talents of the country's major sects, schools, families, and military regions, and rearrange the Lingyun list. ”

"This assessment is different from the past, it is no longer a theoretical ranking after a survey of everyone's strength, but a national competition is held to select 100 winners and rank. ”

"After the change of Lingyun this time, the students on the list will have the opportunity to enter the underwater maze and explore. ”
