Chapter 21: He's My Friend
The sky is getting white, and the rooster sings among the houses.
In the Holy Capital City, people got up on time, and they all had the same thing hidden in their hearts - today is the second session of the national exam. Those who do business will get up early to do business, and those who practice will also go to the examination room early to prepare. This is a major event in the hearts of the people of the Holy Capital, and the martial arts test is far more important and interesting than the literary test.
Today, there are a lot of people, and Shang Lu also came very early, he would not have been like this before. This year's national exam is very important for him, after all, he can take this opportunity to go out. But the more important reason is not this, but seeing Lu Beichen's dull hard work, I was deeply moved.
The martial arts test, which caused a sensation in the whole city and even allowed foreigners to participate, did have its own unique attraction. It has the most comprehensive inspection system and fair review levels, and will not give you an extra secret path just because you are a rich disciple.
It is precisely because of this that many ordinary children work hard to practice, just to get ahead on the day of the national examination and raise their eyebrows. In this way, in fact, the holy capital is a place that cherishes talents and loves talents, but it is also a place where the weak eat the strong. They will not look down on you just because your family background is ordinary, but they will definitely exclude those who are weak in cultivation from the circle of communication.
"A test on Nebula can be said to be not a test, but a test. Every living being bears a sigil in its body, a sigil that records the secrets of each life, and the Stone can test the power of your unawakened power. ”
The imprints passed down from the starry sky and ancient times contain the secrets of their own lives. And most importantly, it also records some innate strength. ”
There is a sacred stone in the Tonglan Temple, which is said to have been a large stone that fell when the gods used the Shenzhou Continent to worship the Heavenly Dao, and it can sense the nebula of each living being. In the national examination, each disciple uses this stone to test a person's unawakened power, and then judge a person's talent in cultivation.
......
......
Lu Beichen ...... Lu Beichen ......" The examiner read Lu Beichen's name, but there was no one. Before the exam, everyone arrived, but the missing teenager with the lowest realm was missing, which made everyone sigh.
Shang Lu looked around and found that this kid who said he wanted to be on the list didn't come today, did he give up the exam.
Seeing that the teacher was holding a pen and was about to take Lu Beichen's name, Shang Lu couldn't help but snatch the pen and said to the examiner, he is my friend, there is an important matter delayed today, please be accommodating.
This young man from a medical family is a cultivator of the psychic realm, and he is also a little famous in the holy capital. However, he was hanging out with Lu Beichen, a kid who wasn't even in the first realm of enlightenment, all day long, and was particularly concerned about his affairs. After all, this Shang Lu from an extraordinary background is always obsessed with studying small things on weekdays, but he rarely pays attention to people.
Therefore, his recent behavior has long puzzled many people.
However, few people know that he is just a simple teenager. At first, he fell in love with the stone on Lu Beichen's neck and wanted to take the opportunity to take a look, so he went to look for him all day. But in the process of getting along, I felt that this young man from the mountains was a little similar to himself.
Although he was born better than Lu Beichen, he also spent some time in the mountains with his father Shang An when he was a child. At that time, the merchant was not so famous, his life was still very simple, the simplicity from the earth was implanted in his bones early, and his simplicity never changed.
He simply likes to make inventions, simply likes to take risks, simply doesn't like to read, doesn't like to inherit pharmacies, and doesn't like to judge people by realm.
has always lived a peaceful and stable life, there are no big waves, and naturally there are no big ideals, until he meets Lu Beichen, a person who insists on persisting for what he wants, this person who pursues his heart. I don't know where to start, he regarded this rustic and persistent boy as his best friend in his heart.
The examiner looked at him a few times, and was about to say who was so unreasonable. Later, when I looked at him, I knew that this young man was in the psychic realm, and recognized him as the son of Shang An, the owner of the Shengdu Pharmacy.
"Since, he's your friend. Then why didn't he come yet. ”
"He has important things. I'll be coming over soon, and I hope the teacher will be more accommodating. ”
"Hmph...... The exam starts right away, he is late, how can he enter the exam room. Although the examiner didn't dare to offend Shang Lu, he was also worried about affecting the candidate's mentality and causing a crime of "injustice and injustice".
"He's not late, he's the most punctual I've ever met. It's not yet yet official."
"If he's late, I'm going to cross out his name. I hope you don't get in the way of us being impartial. ”
"Don't worry, he won't. Shang Lu didn't know where he trusted Lu Beichen, but he was willing to say such a thing for him.
"Shang Lu, I don't understand, why are you willing to talk to that kid. He is just a person who has not even reached the first enlightenment realm, and he is not qualified to participate in today's martial arts test at all. "I don't know who I don't know, but I actually said such a sentence at this time.
Shang Lu looked at it in a blink of an eye, and it turned out to be Li Jianbai, who was idle in the Holy Capital on weekdays and stirred up trouble from time to time. Li Jianbai is not a genius in cultivation, but he is also a disciple of the psychic realm. Although his father is not a famous family in the Holy Capital, he is a general of the human race who guards the Northern Wilderness, and his reputation is prominent.
But Li Jianbai grew up in the holy capital since he was a child, pampered and pampered, and was spoiled by his mother and grandmother since he was a child. So when I grew up, I always liked to cause trouble, and I even formed a gang to kill some people, and later used money to suppress this matter.
Shang Lu Pingsheng hated this kind of person the most, looking at Li Jianbai, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and he didn't respond to a word. It's just that when the examiner heard this, he seemed to let go of the slightest scruple in his heart, glanced at Shang Lu, and said confidently, "So that's the case." ”
"Anyway, the exam hasn't started yet, so what's the point of waiting. ”
Shang Lu was very calm, his face did not change, but his heart was like a turbulent river, "Lu Beichen, if you don't come again, I will break off my friendship with you." ”
"I think he's scared!"
......
......
The preparatory bell for the "Dangdang ......" exam rang, and Shang Lu's heart was a little anxious. The crowd also gathered together to laugh, as if they were summoned by Li Jianbai, waiting to see the joke.
Did this kid escape or did he encounter something on the way, Shang Lu thought so, and couldn't help but say, "If you stinky boy are a turtle with a shrunken head, are you worthy of me......
"Who is the shrunken turtle...... a familiar voice finally appeared. Lu Beichen's eyes were as bright as stars, his eyes were level, and he slowly walked into the examination room.
As if he had found his father, Shang Lu leaned over to Lu Beichen's side, and said with a little blame and excitement, "Stinky boy, where did you go?" How's your preparation for today's exam?"
Lu Beichen glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't worry......."
"I heard that you haven't reached the first enlightenment yet...... the examiner walked over and said solemnly, as if to give this belated teenager a dismount. And that Li Jianbai was crossing his arms, waiting to watch a good show.
"You have reached your first enlightenment, so you don't have to worry. Lu Beichen is full of vitality, Linglian is active, and the examiner is not an ordinary person, so he can naturally feel all this.
"He's a liar!" Li Jianbai couldn't help but shout. The examiner glanced at Li Jianbai, then walked up to everyone and said, "Prepare for the exam......
"The so-called martial arts test is also the real five tests, which are divided into five items, divided into five venues to compete, and comprehensively examine your abilities from the five aspects of nebula, magic weapon, strength, spirit lotus, and soul thought. You are free to choose and form your own team, and in the process of the competition, in addition to winning, you must also pay attention to your own safety, and do not harm the life of your opponent......"
The Chief Inspector read out the examination notices and rules in a serious manner as is customary. However, the teenagers who were waiting didn't listen much, some were discussing something, and some were planning something.
"Lu Beichen, which one do you want to choose, I'll be with you. ”
"Soul thoughts, spirit lotus, and power......"
"What......" Shang Lu's eyes widened, and his voice unconsciously increased a few brightness. Lu Beichen looked at his surprised expression, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "What's wrong......
At this time, the examiner's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted "Quiet!"
Shang Lu stuck out his tongue and didn't pay much attention to it. After a while, he turned around and said to Lu Beichen, "Among these five items, people generally try the easy ones first, and then the difficult ones, why did you choose the most difficult ones?"
(Come back in the New Year and quickly add code words, I hope those students who will face various exams as soon as they go back to school will come on~)
