Chapter 53: The Trial Begins

With a ridicule, a girl dressed in goose yellow obviously pretended to be mature, swaying her body and walked in, the girl was slender and graceful, her face was pretty and refined, she could be said to be a full beauty embryo, but her expression seemed to be a little rude and willful.

Zheng Yan lowered his voice and said helplessly, "You are leading to trouble, and you want to pull me to be a back!"

On the side, Zhang Huoxi said through between his teeth, "Fart, I know that she doesn't like you and still lead her to you, I might as well lead her to Zheng Yukun."

The girl swayed her figure and walked over, and the next moment she grabbed Zhang Huoxi's ear, "Hide from me, can you stop being a Taoist couple?" Tell you, this family matter is decided by the masters, if you want to withdraw from the marriage, find your master first, and ask him if he agrees", said and turned his head to look at Zheng Yan, with a strong threat in his eyes,

Zheng Yan hurriedly lowered his head and continued to sew the futon,

"Tian Hongluo, do you know how to do it? Which woman have you ever seen like this to her fiancΓ©? Who dares to marry you like this? Do you know? In Luoyang, you will be divorced and sold to the kiln", Zhang Huoxi couldn't bear it anymore and finally shouted angrily,

Tian Hongluo was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect this guy to speak to himself like this, and then looked at Zheng Yan again, "What did you say?"

Zheng Yan nodded solemnly, and then said seriously, "Your posture is like raising a male pet."

When the words fell, Zhang Huoxi's face was already full of grief and indignation, and suddenly the sword light on his body flashed, and the next moment the sword rose into the air, and he looked around blankly, without much hesitation, and went straight down the mountain. Tian Hongluo, who came back to his senses, punched and kicked Zheng Yan, Xing Su finally pulled away, and glared at this brutal woman angrily,

"Zheng Yan, I'm not done with you", Tian Hongluo stomped his feet angrily, and the next moment he chased after him.

On the side, Xing Su sighed lightly and said helplessly, "Sister Hong Luo is really, she has been tricked by Brother Yan and Xiao Zhang so many times and still hasn't grown."

Zheng Yan said with a smile, "For women, introspection is a scarce ability, of course, there is introspection that is even more scarce."

Zheng Qi walked out with a small bench and the yellow gourd brought by Zheng Yan in the other hand, and said angrily, "Two little children pretending to be the vicissitudes of the world",

Xing Su quietly grimaced, Zheng Yan glanced at the old man and immediately became dissatisfied, "Grandpa, I'll let you see the doorway of this gourd, how do you use the wine?"

Zheng Qi rolled his eyes and sat down, and took out a handful of spiced pine nuts from his arms, "This thing can indeed store some magic weapons of good quality, but you can't practice at a low level now, first borrow grandpa for two years, and then return it to you when the realm is enough."

Zheng Yan was unconvinced, "I am going to use it to fill yogurt in this trial, how can I hold more than 20 catties, and I don't need to sacrifice and practice if I pretend to drink",

"Aren't you ashamed, a big man takes a gourd to fill yogurt?! Don't look back and tell people that you are my grandson, I Zheng Qi Yingming I really can't afford to lose that person, it's really a weasel mouse, shame on people", the old man began to think again,

How could Zheng Yan be fooled by this little trick, and said angrily, "Don't fool me as a three-year-old child, the marching regulations of the Great Zhou Field Army clearly stipulate that except for boiled water and yogurt in the marching combat bladder, everything else is a violation, and you must receive ten military sticks, if you fill the wine, it is twenty military sticks, this is a rule that has been followed for hundreds of years, I want to think, which ancestor set it?"

Zheng Qi said indifferently, "It doesn't matter which one he decides, do you still want to know what to bring to the trial?"

Zheng Yan weighed for a moment and had to give in,

"That's right, the one who knows the times is Junjie, I know that it is your love token, grandpa will take care of it for you first, okay, don't talk about it, this is a bowstring made of three heavenly silks, the bow frame is in the mountains to find it yourself, and the bow-making technique has been taught to you very early."

Zheng Yan took the three dark gray bowstrings and was a little suspicious, could this thing be the heavenly silk that does not invade the sword and axe?

"You can take the two daggers on your body, don't take out the blue bridge easily, you can be a secret hand, attack it unprepared, you can bring a long sword or a big knife or something, you can bring it with or not; go to the blacksmith's house to get some arrows in a while, remember to tell him, you have to buckle the arrows and wolf's head arrows, don't let him fool with the arrows, that thing is useless, just treat him as a treasure; the water bladder must be sewn from the skin of a salamander, and the raw and stagnant water in the mountains can be drunk with confidence for an hour or two; needless to say, bring two pieces of flint; bring another spear head, and so on, I have one here, I will find it for you; the salt is enough for three months, three catties is almost enough, this is fine salt, and then bring five catties of mineral salt, the spirits like it, this is more effective than real money, you can do whatever you want,

Zheng Yan calculated a maximum of 100 catties, the marching bag he bought before should be able to hold it, and the dried meat and salt are all things that are constantly consumed, and after thinking about it, he counted it with his grandfather again, and then a dark red leather bag appeared in front of him, and Xing Su was shaking happily,

"Su'er, did you tell your father?", Zheng Yan took the water bladder and asked casually,

Xing Su Shui Lingling's big eyes blinked and whispered, "Said", and added in a low voice, "I said it to my mother",

The old man on the side was full of relief, "The elbow began to crutch out."

Zheng Yan glared at the old man angrily, the little girl was still a little shy, and she didn't know if she really understood what the old man said or did the same.

Finally, when the day of departure came, more than 80 young children of the Zheng clan who participated in the trial were all gathered on the sea viewing platform north of the Yiwangmen, and below was the forest sea covered with clouds and mist, vast and remote; the wind on the platform was fierce, and the young people who were not good enough could only shrink together, and only a few could stand proudly in the wind, which naturally attracted a lot of attention and envy.

Zheng Yan also looked curiously at a few young people on the periphery, most of them actually knew each other, Zheng Xingye was tall and indifferent with a long sword on his back; Zheng Yukun, who only had a small backpack with his bare hands, was the most dazzling clan brother that Zheng Yan had met outside the ancestral hall before; and Zheng Shilai, who had a slender jade tree in the wind, was the "little white face" that Zhang Huoxi said in his mouth;

There is also Zheng Man'e, Zheng Yujing, Zheng Lin, Zheng Xiaowu is also there, and there is a more attractive beautiful woman than her, Zheng Yan knows, called Zheng Qian, and Zheng Man'e practices in Yiwangmen like Zheng Man'e.

This battle seems to be a bit big, and it seems that almost all the genius children of the younger generation of the Zheng clan have come, what kind of trouble are the patriarchs and clan elders making trouble? They actually put eggs in a basket! Zheng Yan was a little puzzled.

Zheng Xiaowu walked over with Zheng Qian and two burly and handsome teenagers, and invited Zheng Yan to join them again, it is indeed possible to form a team in the trial, but generally no more than six people are allowed, and most will choose three to five people to act.

Zheng Yan still refused with a smile, only saying that he had other arrangements, Zheng Xiaowu didn't insist anymore, chatted a few words and left with his companions, one of the young people looked at Zheng Yan with a strange look, Zheng Yan didn't think much about it, there are a lot of inexplicable things today.

A clan elder in charge of this trial walked in front of everyone and announced the content of the trial, you need to pick up a piece of Baipi aragonite from Zhanghua Mountain, find a piece of sun-hot jade in Shengyang Mountain, get a piece of Hanhai Yaoying in Beifu Mountain, in addition to getting at least three pieces of pure gold, the original ore is also fine, as long as you can move back, after you come back, the clan will use the materials you get back to cast magic weapons, the more individuals come out, the more support within the clan will be, and the three gems can be exchanged for some other useful things.

The people who were originally a little whispering about the arduous task immediately quieted down when they heard the words behind them, and the quality of the magic weapons cast at the clan level naturally did not say, as long as the materials were good enough, they would definitely be able to create powerful magic weapons, and maybe they could reach the quality level of those heirloom magic weapons in the clan, and the temptation was naturally not small.

Zheng Yan is not as excited as the people around him, of course, there are craftsmen who cast magic weapons in the Zongren Mansion and Ouchi, and they may be more powerful than the clan, at least on par, but they need the princes to make IOUs, and the amount of IOUs is half of the materials consumed, and the uncle Zheng Kaiyuan and the eldest grandfather both said that they don't need to make materials by himself, they will help collect them, and Zheng Yan doesn't have such a strong idea of magic weapons.

It's just that the first three goals of this mission are enough to drink a pot, and the remaining two of the three mountains are deep in the hinterland of the Taihua Mountains except for Zhanghua Mountain, and there are definitely big demons entrenched, so they let their own children go to other people's territory to grab things! Is this a stone to ask for directions or to test their attitude? Moreover, Zheng Yan can be regarded as understanding, the clan's supervision of the young children's cultivation is not only an ordinary teaching assessment, but also a real threat to life, which is much more powerful than the royal family's punishment and banning, but it is still a little sweet.

With the order of the clan elder, the young people began to descend the mountain one after another from the ladder plank road on both sides, and there were also imperial treasures flying or leaping, but none of them set off with a big bag like Zheng Yan, which caused a lot of discussion just now, although it was quiet, but Zheng Yan still heard a few words such as "I guess there must be ten sets of changes of clothes inside", "It shouldn't be clothes, it is likely to be a magic weapon, a large bag of magic weapons", "Soap and rouge of mountain and sea delicacies" , It's all gossip like that, Zheng Yan doesn't care about it, who makes his cultivation low, and he won't even put a formal spell.

Zheng Yan was about to follow everyone down the mountain, when suddenly his backpack was grabbed by something, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Xingshuang,

"Hey, Xingshuang, didn't you say you wouldn't use it to send me? Wait, you're going out and have a mission?",

Xingshuang glanced at the people around her and said calmly, "I'm also here to participate in the trial, do you want to form a team?",

Zheng Yan still didn't believe it, but it was true that only those who participated in the trial could come up here, but Xingshuang was not yet eighteen years old, how did he get the qualification?

Xingshuang had already walked straight down the mountain, Zheng Yan stood behind and looked left and right, caught up and said seriously, "I don't care how you got in, anyway, I won't team up with you, you can find someone else, or go back?

"I'm not here for you, as long as I can complete this trial, I can get more support in the future, I just want to improve my cultivation and combat power quickly, I don't want to be too far away from them", Xingshuang said in a calm tone,

Zheng Yan was still a little unconvinced, and followed behind and chattered, "What's the urgency of cultivating this kind of thing? This is a lifelong thing, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, understand? Doesn't it mean that you can sit back and relax for the rest of your life if you become famous for a while, and you don't have to rush yourself to play with your life, right? In a good year, it's a pity to just glance at it in a hurry, and maybe it will leave some regrets for the formation of the mind...",

"I want to go and see this world as soon as possible, and I won't leave any regrets for Ascension in the future, didn't you say that the road to Ascension will open again in the future?", Xingshuang blocked Zheng Yan back with a word.

Zheng Yuan and Zheng Xinglu were waiting in front, and there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl next to her, with a willow-like waist pinned to a lancet, which was very heroic. Zheng Yan couldn't persuade Xingshuang to go back, so he had to borrow Zheng Yuan to drag her down, at least no longer fight alone. Xingshuang followed Zheng Yuan and them away with an expressionless face, and he didn't know if he could be honest, Zheng Yan was full of melancholy.

The plank road is not wide, and it is not too strong, some places go straight up and down, and I don't know when it will be built, it is basically dug on the cliff, anyway, ordinary people will definitely not be able to walk, Zheng Yan carried a big bag unhurriedly and finally went down to the ground, there were no young people around who participated in the trial, there were birds and birds in the forest in front of him, and there was a faint sound of tigers roaring and wolf howling, it was really noisy, Zheng Yan muttered a sentence and walked into the forest sea.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Ying Yue sat crookedly at the desk where Zheng Yan often sits, holding the cheeks in one hand and plucking the strings boredly with the other, Xinluo, who was originally practicing upstairs, walked into the study for the first time in these days, first calmly glanced at the woman behind the desk who was moving no matter what, and then sat on the opposite side, not speaking, not going to find a book to read, just sitting.

Ying Yue sat up straight with a slight smile, and handed over a stack of letter paper at hand, Xin Luo hesitated for a moment but took it, took a slight breath and looked at it, it was all the things that Zheng Yan experienced during the period from his departure to the sixth day of his arrival in the clan, and there were even large sections of dialogue, which were recorded almost word for word, and the ink should have been sent every few days, and the paper was slightly wrinkled, indicating that it had been read many times.

After a long time, Xinluo put down the letter, and his expression, which had been a little uncertain just now, seemed to finally return to calm and indifferent.

Ying Yue took out another stack of letterheads and handed them over, "This is the entire investigation results of Yu Xiuxian and her master Shui Shujing, as well as the knife ruler Xie Yanguang, you help me see what to do with them, this is the origin of the five Xingwei people, who do you think should be recruited into the mansion?"

Xinluo took it and looked at it while casually asking, "What about the information of a handful of water, and what is the origin of those people in Zhuang Kui and Daqinggou?"

Ying Yue chuckled and said, "We are insiders, don't worry about things outside",

Xinluo raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, and after a while, he continued to look down at the information, "Why don't you recruit Yu Xiuxian's sword ruler and them in?"

Yingyue picked up a string and whispered, "Don't worry about whether it's useful to enter a family and be a family, as long as you have a heart", the strings fell, and the sound waves spread out visibly with the naked eye, and the hair in Xinluo's ears was raised melodiously,

Xinluo looked at the woman opposite with some surprise, thought for a while and said, "Xingwei and Shuangyun can,

Ying Yue smiled happily, "I think we must have a common heart after getting along for a long time, in fact, I also want this Jingshu, alas, he must complain again, forget it, we still don't want to give him Zhang Luo, and it's not time yet."

A crow landed on the windowsill of the study, grabbed a bamboo tube under its paws, and knocked on the window frame with a hard beak, Yingyue had already opened the window, and honestly and unceremoniously caught the crow into the study, the crow's eyes were absolutely rare helplessness,

"Tell Lord Nightspot, after His Royal Highness enters Taihua, he will send two more people in, don't respond, just nod your head, it's too ugly", Ying Yue said while dismantling the bamboo tube,

The crow really nodded, waved his wings at Xinluo and flew out.

"Go in, alone, Xingshuang doesn't know what the idea is, she seems to have repented."
