Eastern Zhou Kingdom, Dongjiang Town.

It was evening, and the sharp bell rang, startling a few sparrows on the old pear tree outside the door of Dongjiang Primary School, and also making the parents who had been waiting at the door of the school for a full day commotion.

By the time the sunset stretched the shadow of the big flag in front of the school twice as long, the entrance of the school was already full of people and noisy.

"Little rabbit, how did you do in the test?!" the impatient father asked eagerly, grabbing his son's arm.

"It's okay, it's okay, the idol question drew the Lord of Destiny and the Light of the Sky, and I reviewed it last night. The son rubbed his nose, looked around, and said proudly, "I can't remember the history of the Hanging Court Sect a little clearly...... I guess I can go to a second-rate university. ”

"A second-rate school?" Father's eyes lit up, and his face immediately turned red, and he laughed, "Good boy, I have you! Go, go back and let my mother cook you back pot meat to eat!"

Today is the first day of July, according to the rules of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, today the final examination of the theory of practice will be held across the country, and the results will be announced by the list in two weeks.

This scene in front of Dongjiang Primary School is happening in front of every primary school in every county and county in the entire Eastern Zhou Kingdom.

......

However, not all teenagers leave the school immediately after the exam, and at this time, in front of the library of Dongjiang Primary School, there was a boy leaning against the window and frowning and contemplating.

The boy was born quite clean and handsome, not very tall, the clothes on his body were the cheapest linen shirts, washed white, but neat, a black hair was simply rolled up on his head, and then draped over his shoulders, a pair of eyes were the most clear and compelling, like a wave in the moonlight on a clear night, but he always liked to lower his head when looking at people coming and going, and seemed to be a little timid and shy.

He tiptoed through the crowd and muttered something to himself.

"The continent we are on is called the Oracle Continent...... Four thousand years ago, the westernmost part of the continent was blessed with a holy light, and the twelve priests came to the continent with supreme supernatural powers, bringing happiness and peace to the world...... Now there are four major countries left on the mainland, namely the Orohr Empire in the north, the Liufeng Kingdom in the west, the Rose Dynasty in the south, and our Eastern Zhou Kingdom...... After that, the twelve priests founded the Hanging Court Religion to spread peace and create statues of gods for the world to comprehend and practice, and the twelve priests were divided into four groups to maintain the order of the four kingdoms......"

"Will I write too much...... Sixteen-year-old Zhang Yanyun frowned, and then patted his head again, "No matter, the teacher said that this kind of history brief question is not afraid to write more, but afraid to write less, although the exam paper only asks about the history of the Hanging Court Sect, I should have no problem writing more, maybe I can get two more points!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yanyun couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Xiao Yunyun, what are you laughing at?" A female voice as crisp as a wind chime sounded in her ears, and at the same time, Zhang Yanyun's head was patted lightly.

Zhang Yanyun was happy in his heart, but pretended to be annoyed and looked at the girl behind him: "Qianqian, how many times have I said it, don't hit me in the head, I won't grow tall, and I ...... I'll be angry. ”

Mu Qianqian crossed her hands on her hips, squinted her eyes, leaned forward, pursed her lips to reveal two small dimples, and a pair of beautiful eyes carefully glanced at Zhang Yanyun's face.

Zhang Yanyun was stared at in the heart, and his eyes dodged for a while: "You, what are you doing?"

"Hee-hee. Mu Qianqian's eyes rolled, she raised her hand and patted Zhang Yanyun's head lightly, jumped away and smiled, "I knew you wouldn't be really angry with me." ”

Zhang Yanyun turned his head not to look at Mu Qianqian, and the two walked side by side towards the door of the school.

Zhang Yanyun pursed his lips and said suddenly: "You, why are you slower today, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Don't mention it, it's not that Wang Dongsheng, that guy has to stop me from saying that he likes me, and what else will I never see each other again when I go to various schools in the future, how about it, I finally sent it away, I'm annoyed to death!" Mu Qianqian said as she kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, bouncing and jumping, not paying attention to Zhang Yanyun beside her who suddenly stopped.

Zhang Yanyun stared blankly at Mu Qianqian's lively back, the girl's skirt rose and fell in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his heart was beating loudly.

Mu Qianqian finally turned around, her beautiful face and inquiring eyes made Zhang Yanyun's face flush all of a sudden.

"Hey, why don't you leave?" Mu Qianqian asked loudly.

"I ......" Zhang Yanyun lowered his head, afraid that Mu Qianqian would see what he was thinking, so he suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly, "I'm thinking about a question on the exam paper just now!"

"Huh?" Mu Qianqian was a little puzzled by Zhang Yanyun's suddenly raised volume, she walked around Zhang Yanyun three times with her hands behind her back, and then raised her hand again, and slapped him on the head with a "snap".

"Oh, the exam papers have been handed in, what do you want it to do, besides, with your level, don't you just enter a first-class university?"

"What about you, which school do you want to go to?" Zhang Yanyun asked without thinking about it.

Mu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of yearning in her eyes, and the orange-red sunset was reflected in her pupils, and the light made the girl more beautiful.

"Of course you want to go to the Chang'an Academy in the capital!" Mu Qianqian's eyes suddenly turned, and she said jokingly, "What, do you still want to go to the same school as me?"

Zhang Yanyun's heart jumped, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's just that I think that if I can go to the same school, we can take care of each other...... Ah, and Wang Dongsheng, if everyone can practice together, how good it would be......"

"You're not mistaken, right? Just Wang Dongsheng, the last third-rate school is hanging. Mu Qianqian looked at Zhang Yanyun with wide eyes.

"I'm ......" Zhang Yanyun was annoyed and embarrassed, pushed Mu Qianqian away and strode forward, "I won't tell you, I'll go back." ”

Mu Qianqian felt that Zhang Yanyun was a little strange today, but she couldn't say what was strange, seeing that he was really going away, she hurriedly tiptoed and shouted: "Hey, don't forget to come to the river lantern festival at night, I'll wait for you under the old willow tree in front of the stone bridge!!"

......

......

When Zhang Yanyun walked out of the school door, there were not many people left, the night was getting late, and there were more men returning from fishing and chopping wood on the street.

"Go back, you still have to cook." Zhang Yanyun took a deep breath, gathered his clothes, and quickened his pace towards the street corner.

"Little brother, please stay for trouble. As soon as he turned into an alley, suddenly a shout came from behind him, Zhang Yanyun stopped and turned around, but saw that three figures had flashed in front of him.

So fast!

Practitioner !!

The three of them were all wrapped in black robes, with big hats on their heads, revealing only a pair of eyes, breathtaking eyes.

"You...... Who are you?" Zhang Yanyun subconsciously "kicked" and took two steps back, although he had good grades in the academy, but after all, he had not really embarked on the path of cultivation, and he was really going to be targeted by cultivators, and he couldn't touch a single hair of the other party.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask you about someone. The first one whispered.

"Who?"

"I don't know if the little brother has heard of it...... The name Qian Shanhai?" stared at Zhang Yanyun's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Yanyun shook his head, his eyes did not waver at all, and he looked very calm: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Little brother, think about it again, haven't you really heard of it?" the other party took a step forward.

Zhang Yanyun took a few steps back, leaned his back against the cold and hard bluestone brick wall, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head: "Really no, I went to school in the school in front of me, and I only finished the final exam today, if the Qian Shanhai you are talking about is not a person in the school, then I definitely don't know him." After all, the seniors also know that ordinary children like me can only have a chance to shine on the lintel if they are admitted to a good school for cultivation, so I don't have time to care about other people's other things now. ”

Since the Hanging Court Sect set up a statue for the world to practice, the quality of cultivation determines a person's status, and the heirs of poor families can only study hard to practice if they want to get ahead, which is not only true in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom but also in the other three kingdoms, Zhang Yanyun said this is true.

The three black-clothed men asked Zhang Yanyun a few more times, and when they saw that he really didn't seem to know any Qian Shanhai, they stopped entanglement, turned into three streamers and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

Zhang Yanyun slowly squatted down against the wall, and after a long time, he finally exhaled, gasping for breath, his back against the bluestone brick wall was already wet with sweat, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down.

He looked around for a few weeks with palpitations, and ran wildly!
