The man behind him looked to be only twenty-five or six years old, with a white face, wearing a square scarf and hat, a white robe, dressed as a scholar, and the smell of a book was unannounced. At this time, he said to Shi Xin with a smile on his face: "How is it, are you hungry?"

"Hmm. Shi Xin scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Let's go, let's go together. ”

On weekdays, in addition to having a lot of contacts with the senior brother He Laifeng, the second senior brother Yu Qianzheng, and the third senior brother Zhu for no reason, he has a very good relationship with this white book ceremony.

Bai Shuli is as good at reading as his name, erudite and talented, and very enthusiastic and decent, he is a few years earlier than Shi Xin's entry, and he also took great care of his little junior brother in the past.

The two of them had a meal in the dining room, then picked a clean empty table and sat down. Shi Xin was so hungry that as soon as he sat down, he couldn't care so much and ate a lot.

At this time, there was a lot of excitement on the tables around me, as if something was being discussed.

"Hey, why does it seem like the time of the trial is two years earlier?" came a noise from the next seat.

"Yes, in the past, it would only be held once a year, but this time, why did it suddenly change to fifty-eight years?"

"Hehe, whatever, this time there are two more places than last time, hey, hey, I said which of you wants to grab it with me, who am I in a hurry......"

"Hahaha, look at your ...... temperament"

"......" was full of laughter and slapstick.

Shi Xin looked around, turned his head and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Bai, is something happening in the hall, why is it so lively?"

Bai Shuli put down the dishes and chopsticks when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What, don't you know yet?"

Seeing Shi Xin's unbelievable appearance, Bai Shuli continued: "Today, the messenger paper crane flew from the Chengling Hall, and the 'Eight Halls Trial Method' that was only held once in Yijiazi was held two years ahead of schedule, and it was scheduled to be held on the seventh day of the ninth month two months later. ”

"Eight Classes Trial?" Shi Xin was slightly taken aback.

Regarding the matter of these eight classes of Fa test, he had heard from the senior brother before. The Eight Classes Test Method is a kind of competition for the outstanding disciples of the sect, and each class will send disciples with advanced Taoism to participate. Those who stand out from the crowd must be skilled in Taoism and Taoism, who are admired by everyone, and can be appointed by the head of the pure and quiet real person, which is really the supreme glory of the disciples.

Bai Shuli saw Shi Xin stretched out in a daze, and said with a smile: "How is it, is it tempting?"

Shi Xin nodded at first, and then shook his head lightly at the end.

"You have already cultivated the 'Xuantian Heart Technique' to the fourth level, and you are already a leader among the junior disciples, so you should have more confidence in yourself. Bai Shuli paused, and then continued: "I heard from Senior Brother that this time the Eight Classes Test is different from the past, not only has there been a change in the number of people, but also compared to before, the selection test is also stricter. ”

Shi Xin asked, "Didn't Master decide who would test the Fa?"

Bai Shuli shook his head: "For the sake of fairness, it seems that there will be a competition in the hall this time, and I don't know much about the specific matters, all in all, you go down the mountain as soon as possible to find a magic treasure." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shuli seemed to have seen some flood beast, his face changed, completely ignoring Shi Xin, picked up the magic weapon "Puxiang Folding Fan" on the table, and fled.

Shi Xin felt inexplicable for a while, and when he looked up, he realized why Bai Shuli was running so fast. I saw that nightmarish little junior sister with an unhappy look on her face, moving her skirt and stepping over. Seeing her angry appearance, no one dared to provoke the eldest lady, so they all hid away, only Shi Xin sat there. At that time, Zhao Xiaoying also saw Shi Xin, so she walked towards him with an angry face.

Shi Xin can only secretly curse in his heart now, "Senior brother is not authentic", but he can't have a seizure.

As soon as she sat down, Zhao Xiaoying snorted very unhappily.

Shi Xin didn't dare to ask more when he saw this, and quietly stood aside, at this time there were fewer people in the dining room, presumably most of them went to do their homework, and the rest were far away from this little junior sister.

After a while, I heard Zhao Xiaoying very dissatisfied and said: "Dad actually didn't allow me to participate in the 'Eight Classes Trial', I wasn't allowed to go, I just wanted to go, hum"

Shi Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Uh...... This...... Master may have a point. ”

"What's the reason? Isn't it just that I'm afraid that I'll embarrass him? He won't let me go, so I'll go and beg my mother, if my mother doesn't agree, I'll go and ask Uncle Lingmo, hmph, I must go, I must prove it to him. It's okay if he doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, Zhao Xiaoying becomes more and more unwilling, pouting at this time, and said a little unconvinced.

It's just that after this "bold words", there was a strange sound of "coo, coo", and Zhao Xiaoying suddenly blushed and felt embarrassed.

Shi Xin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, got up and went to get another meal.

"Here, eat. He handed the food to Zhao Xiaoying.

"Senior brother is so good, whoever wants to marry you in the future will be the most blessed person in the world. Zhao Xiaoying said happily while taking a big gulp, not caring about the image of her daughter's family at all.

Shi Xin was speechless for a while when she heard this, she really didn't know what this little junior sister was thinking about all day long.

It was night, the sky was full of stars, and the moon was hanging high.

Shi Xin looked at the bright moon and suddenly remembered his childhood. At that time, I was still ignorant, the mountain village was located in a large canyon, on both sides of the towering mountains, and the water from the mountain stream fell drop by drop, filling a wooden barrel to see the sun. He is an orphan who grew up eating a hundred family meals, but he is not alone, and he has a group of little playmates who frolic day and night. The people in the village are simple and kind......

He was a little dazed, and suddenly remembered the knock on the door that interrupted his reminiscence.

Shi Xin got up and opened the door, but he didn't expect Zhao Huanran to stand at the door.

"Master?" he froze.

Zhao Huanran has rarely come to the disciple's room in recent years, but today's sudden arrival really surprised Shi Xin.

Zhao Huanran said softly: "I saw that the lights were still on, so I came over to take a look." ”

Shi Xin was about to pour a glass of water and present it, but he didn't expect that there was no more in the teapot. wanted to go to the kitchen to make another pot, but was called back by Zhao Huanran.

Zhao Huanran walked in slowly and sat on a chair.

"Has the letter been sent to Qiushuitang?"

Shi Xin replied, "Well, I sent it to Uncle Lingmo yesterday. Reflecting the candlelight, he only felt that the person in front of him who had taught him and raised him was a few years older.

Zhao Huanran didn't notice Shi Xin's thoughts, nodded and said, "It's been more than ten years since I brought you up from the mountain." ”

Shi Xin responded: "It's been almost eleven years. ”

Zhao Huanran nodded thoughtfully: "Well, it's been so long." You should have heard about the Eight Classes of Fa Trials, and many disciples are already preparing to go down the mountain to cultivate, what do you think?"

Shi Xin was stunned for a moment, originally wanting to say that he didn't have any ideas, but the voice in his heart was quietly questioning him. In the end, he himself did not know how to answer.

"Tomorrow you will also go down the mountain. Seeing this, Zhao Huanran said.

"Master, I'm ......"

Zhao Huanran waved his hand, stood up and said gently: "Yangjingtang was a big branch a hundred years ago, don't embarrass me." Tomorrow I will ask your senior brother to send some plates, late at night, rest early. With that, he walked out.

Shi Xin watched his broad and tall back gradually leave, and his heart was moved, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

Another sleepless night. Shi Xin was lying alone on the bed as if thinking about something, unable to sleep.

The green bamboo outside the "rustling ......" was blown by the wind. It's a little cool in the mountains at night. He pulled the quilt up and curled up a little.

Somehow, at this time, he was a little nostalgic for the small isolated village where he lived.

It's just that it's gone after all......
