Yu Mochen felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but lower his head, but he had to tell the truth, "I haven't ...... yet"

"Tell me to take her to see it first," Ling Ai interjected with a smile and sighed half-truthfully, "It's probably because I've been here too long—I don't think there's anything to see in the Cardinal's house." I don't know where I got so much interest every day. ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's how you can rely on your temperament." When he first came, he was excited for a long time when he looked at the murals in the corridor outside. He said, jokingly, "Xiao Ling, if you find it boring, you might as well give Lao Ling some advice and ask him to add some furnishings to Yanfen Hall that you like." After spending a lot of time in such a place where there is no light of day, young people may be more likely to lose their vitality. ”

Ling Ai waved his hand and said, "My father has always been very stubborn, and he always said that my opinion is that children play at home, and I wish I would lose my vitality and become an old stubborn like him." In my opinion, it is more interesting to talk to Mr. Lu. ”

Lu Chen just smiled.

Ling Ai glanced at Yu Moji, showed that cunning expression again, and said, "Speaking of which, the same batch of reservists who were originally admitted to the hospital as you have already begun to take shifts. In my opinion, you don't have to delay any longer, and I will be the witness today and try the admission to the hospital. Although there was some joking in her words, she didn't forget to ask Lu Chen, "Old Mr. Lu, what do you think?" ”

Lu Chen said, "This mainly depends on Xiaoyu's wishes." But I happen to have some free time today. He turned around and handed Yu Moji a kind and encouraging smile, "Xiao Yu, if you are interested, it doesn't hurt to take a test." ”

“…… Ay? This caught Yu Moji off guard. She thought that the admission test should be a rather serious matter, but she didn't expect that it would be so sloppy, and these two people could decide between words and laughter.

Yu Mojin looked at Ling Ai, then at Lu Chen, and said softly, "I can't do it...... I came in a hurry today and didn't do anything to prepare......"

"What is there to prepare for this," Ling Ai said with a smile, "With that, you're fine." ”

She glanced at Lu Chen and said, "And today is also the right time." Although the entrance examination of the Cardinal is simple, it also needs to be witnessed by the secretary of the Lantai sent by Yanfentang, and it also needs to be judged by a Yanshi with the rank of supervisor or above. As it happens, these two people, we have all together here. ”

Yu Moji listened strangely, although Ling Ai seemed to have some background, he was just a reserve; Lu Chen is likely to be one of the two people Ling Ai said. But where else is there a fourth person here?

Ling Ai glanced at Yu Moji's puzzled expression, blinked, and said, "Mr. Lu is not too old, but he is already a candidate for cardinal, and he is definitely qualified to evaluate your topic; As for me," she smiled, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "Although I am only a reserve, I also hold the official position of Lantai's secretary in Yanfentang. Today, I serve as a witness, and I can be regarded as living up to the monthly salary paid by Yan Fen Tang. ”

Yu Moji was still a little ignorant. She didn't know much about the complex official rank system of the empire, and after listening to Ling Ai talk a lot, she only realized that the official rank of these two people was not low, which was enough to supervise her admission test.

Now in this situation, everything is ready, and only she is left alone.

Yu Moji sighed. She saw Ling Ai's repeated persuasion, and saw that Lu Chen also had encouragement in his eyes, but she felt that it was really difficult to refuse. Her heart moved, and she thought that after she set out from Aige, although she had never had the opportunity to read and review the books and maps she had learned before, she had not made less use of the Yanshu she had learned before. After boarding the merchant ship of the Wei family, he even taught a lot of quite practical Yanji knowledge.

Remembering how much he had learned from these extraordinary experiences, Yu Moji couldn't help but settle down. Although she didn't make any preparations, it shouldn't be much worse than when Xu Fuzi praised her before; Just an admission test, Lu Chen and Ling Ai didn't think it was a big deal, and maybe it wouldn't be difficult.

After thinking about it, Yu Mochen finally nodded and agreed to this rather sudden invitation.

Lu Chen had a kind of laziness like Yuan Pingzhi's body, he was too lazy to leave the small room, so he asked Ling Ai to take the remaining ink marks and go to the special trial ground for the admission test.

When I arrived at the place, Yu Moji looked at it and felt a little unexpected. This is said to be a testing ground, but in fact, there is neither the scroll pen and ink used in the martial arts examination class, nor the tattered armor temporarily distributed during the martial arts examination. The Proving Ground of the Cardinal's Proving Ground was a slightly small hall, empty of which, with a ring of stainless steel and heavy doors on the perimeter walls, and no idea what was hidden behind them.

Yu Moji said strangely, "This ...... How to take the test? ”

She looked back and realized that Ling Ai had not entered, but had stopped at the gate of the hall that connected to the aisle outside.

Ling Ai explained, "There are a total of sixteen doors in this place, and you can open eight of them at will, which contain the exam questions prepared by the various departments of the Council. When all eight doors are passed, the door of this small hall will be opened again, and it will be considered a success. I'll pick you up then, or you can go back to Mr. Lu's house directly. ”

Yu Moji looked around at the strange doors, and only felt confused. But since she has agreed to take the exam, no matter how strange the question is, there is no reason to regret it. She nodded her head in understanding.

With a few clicks, Ling Ai locked the door outside.

Without the light source outside the door, the small hall, which did not even have a candle flame, immediately fell into darkness.

Yu Moji clenched his fists and squeezed his fingers. A few months ago, the horror of darkness was nothing. And since she experienced the dozens of days on the river, this fear has taken on a concrete image, which has caused many complex emotions to arise in her heart, and has also forced her to learn some ways to survive in the dark.

Just like on a boat, she took advantage of the fact that the light outside the door had not faded, and quickly and quietly wrote down as much information as she needed. She memorized the location of the door that seemed to have the fewest mechanisms, mentally traced the shape of the mechanisms several times, and estimated the distance between the doors in passing. She knew that she didn't have a good sense of direction, so she deliberately kept an eye on it. The moment Ling Ai closed the door, Yu Moji had already aligned her feet at the door she had chosen.

But this little trick did not succeed as she had imagined.

Yu Moji walked in the direction of his memory, and only touched a bare wall.

Yu Moji immediately panicked. She thought to herself that she was probably still going in the wrong direction, so maybe she should go straight. There is not much difference between these stainless steel door panels, and besides, the simplest one may be the most troublesome trap to open. Her opportunism, probably because of her hot-headedness, now seems to be extremely stupid.

Yu Moji sighed silently. She didn't dare to make a sound at all, and for a reason—according to what she had learned from Xu Fuzi's books, there were some very good Yanshi who didn't need to touch anything they made, just a little sound, or even a little light, could trigger it. Although she had not seen this strange armor with her own eyes, she believed that someone in the Council would be able to do so.

She reached out in the darkness and cautiously touched the side of the wall, and then she felt that something was wrong.

Her hand did touch a door, but the mechanism on it was completely different from the shape she had remembered.

Yu Mojian was afraid that her memory was wrong, so she hurriedly changed her direction and tried it, but everywhere her fingers reached, it was still the same result.

She didn't know what was going on. Even if the direction under her feet was slightly off, there should be the door she remembered nearby. After dozens of days on the boat, she has trained her sense of touch quite sensitively. With her current skills, she is able to accurately trace the shape and structure of the objects she touches with the touch of her fingers alone.

The discrepancy between the hand and the eye only indicated that there was some kind of problem with the place itself, but she had not been able to detect it before.

Yu Moji's fingers unconsciously pinched her own palm again. It doesn't matter if the small efforts didn't work; It's just that this place is far more complicated than her shallow brain can think, and the road after that, she must be more careful.

Without further ado, she began to undo the mechanism of the door at hand. When she could see it, she was indeed startled by the complicated mechanisms; Now that they are being dismantled one by one, the more they are dismantled, the more they feel that it is not so difficult.

The study of Yanjia is inseparable from its origin. Some of the puzzles may seem troublesome, but they are simply a combination of variations. When Yu Mochen was lecturing on the martial arts, she had already mastered the basic principles by heart, and she had seen a lot of changes deduced from those knowledge. As a result, although she is constantly stuck in the traps, she can quickly come up with a solution to the problem.

To her liking, the proving ground seemed to be fairly safe. She was frightened at first, and her hands were shaking; It didn't take long for her to find out that there were no traps when she turned those traps, and it seemed that the person who asked the question really just wanted to test her, and did not intend to take her life.

Yu Moji competed with these mechanisms, and the more troublesome the mechanisms, the more interested she was in dismantling them; The more she dismantled it, the more comfortable it became, and she even felt like she was enjoying the process a little.

Just as her mind slowly began to relax, the last mechanism made a series of sounds. This sound was different from before, and Yu Moji listened carefully, and the door of the heart should be able to be opened.

In this small hall, the ink marks can still use the senses of touch and hearing; Behind this door is a completely unknown world. The fear of the unknown prompted the vigilance in her heart that was about to be extinguished to light up again.

Yu Mochen thought about it, estimated the weight of the stainless steel door panel, and casually pulled off a hair of his own hand, feeling the strength. She quickly set up an arithmetic in her mind, and then reached out and pulled down a few long hairs. Although the hair is fragile and braided in one place, it is also quite strong to endure. According to her calculations, pulling this door is absolutely fine.

She tethered one end of her long hair to a mechanism she had completely cracked, and the other end wrapped tightly around her fingertips. She kept her entire body behind the stainless steel door panel, then pressed against the ground, her fingers pulling at her hair, and pulled the door open from what seemed to her relative safety.

The moment she opened the door, a metallic wind whistled past her ears.
