The eyes of the candidates, including the onlookers of the Sword Academy, were very complicated, some were puzzled, and some were shocked.

Zheng Qian was bound to be admitted to the palace, but because of what he did, because of Ning Haoran's extremely bland words, he ruined his hope of entering the palace sword courtyard.

This is undoubtedly a pity, but it's just a pity, everyone agrees with Ning Haoran's decision, even if they don't approve of it, they don't dare to say it, they can only act as if they can't hear anything, they don't see anything, it's none of their business, they hang high.

Zheng Qianqian came in high spirits, but he was driven down the mountain in disgrace, which may become a major blow in his life, or it may be another starting point in his life.

But the candidates didn't have the heart to envision where Zheng Qian would go in the future, because Ning Haoran was about to announce the candidates who had passed the palace assessment.

Shen Jiyue, He Zhengrong, Zhou Luo, Xin Ming and others entered the outer courtyard of the palace without exception, which seemed to be the result of their own understanding, but there was not much noise.

The most unexpected thing was Ning Haoran's next sentence, which brought an indescribable shock.

"This year, only seven people were recruited into the palace, and in addition to the six people whose names were called, the last person was ......"

Ning Haoran's indifferent gaze swept over every candidate, and almost all of the people who were swept were slightly stiff, with a little nervousness and a little expectation.

Then Ning Haoran's gaze fixed on a certain young man's body, his lips opened slightly, and he slowly spit out a name: "Li Mengzhou." ”

There was a dead silence and then an uproar.

There was a heavy inhalation sound.

This sentence made most of the candidates around him fall into an incomprehensible shock.

"Why, exactly?"

A loud cry full of emotion broke the dead silence.

It was Zheng Qian who spoke out, he felt that this was too unfair, obviously he had entered the realm of Yuanyou, even He Zhengrong and Xin Ming, who had just entered Amaterasu, could enter the palace, why he had to be driven down the mountain, this was not the most unacceptable to him, but why Li Mengzhou could become the last person to be admitted to the palace, which made him unable to bear it anymore.

Ning Haoran didn't even glance at Zheng Qian, and spit out a few words lightly: "Except for these seven people, the rest of the people should go down the mountain." ”

Zheng Qian looked at Ning Haoran blankly.

He was speechless.

Although the unsuccessful candidates around him were depressed because of the repeated strong shock, they didn't have the courage to question and refute like Zheng Qian at this moment.

Because they knew that Zheng Qian had been disliked by Ning Haoran, they still thought that maybe they would still have a chance to be admitted to the palace next year, if they offended Ning Haoran at this time, they would never have the opportunity to enter the palace.

Looking at Li Mengzhou's stiff figure in place, Zheng Qian's eyes welled up with resentment.

Li Mengzhou didn't even know when Zheng Qian's people left, and he didn't notice the kind of eyes that Zheng Qian threw at him when he left in embarrassment.

When Ning Haoran called out his name, Li Mengzhou was already dumbfounded.

He basically doesn't have much hope for being admitted to the palace.

That's why he dared to openly say that he was going to kill Zheng Qian, in addition to being a kind of venting, in the process, he also hoped to hold some illusions, so he didn't do things absolutely and left Zheng Qian's life.

But in fact, he knew very well that his hope of entering the palace was already very slim.

After all, it is impossible for the Ligong Sword Academy to have a person who has entered Amaterasu but can't even see the sea of qi as a disciple.

However, the most unlikely thing happened to him, in addition to the irrepressible surprise, Li Mengzhou was even more surprised why Ning Haoran made such a decision?

Looking at Ning Haoran's back, Li Mengzhou's eyes also swelled with a strange look.

Jiang Zihua was very happy for Li Mengzhou, picked a glance at him, and left the square slowly.

With the departure of many people, the scene also became silent.

The senior brothers and the junior brothers greeted each other, and the sect accepted the new, and this meeting was very warm, and there was no tension during the test.

Such a picture is indescribably shocking to Nansheng not far away.

She didn't expect that Li Mengzhou, this guy, would really succeed in being admitted to the palace.

Regardless of the process, this result is a given.

Maybe it's because I can't look at this picture, mainly because I can't see Li Mengzhou's grinning.

Nan Sheng walked over, coughed, and said with some sneer: "It's just a big bargain, I don't know what Senior Brother Ning thinks, do you really think that you were admitted to the palace by virtue of your ability? ”

Li Mengzhou looked at Nan Sheng blankly.

It's a bit puzzling.

He is not a forgetful person, he had already noticed Nan Sheng before, and naturally recognized her, although he was very puzzled why Nan Sheng appeared in the Ligong Sword Courtyard as a disciple of Pu Jia Yuan, but after all, he was an acquaintance, and he was still a little happy.

I didn't have a chance to speak before, so I thought I had to say hello, but I didn't expect Nan Sheng to take the initiative to take the stubble, but the person who came was not good.

He was very inexplicable, and he didn't know when he had offended this little girl.

But he felt that what the other party said was also the truth, and even he couldn't figure out how Ning Haoran could give him the last place.

Nearly 100 candidates climbed the mountain, but only seven people entered the mountain, and the competition can be imagined.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Mengzhou felt that it was a matter of course for him to enter the palace, after all, he was a genius.

Maybe it's because Ning Haoran has a discerning eye and can find his own precious jade, so why bother with the reason.

But for the candidates who passed the test, Ning Haoran does not have the absolute right to speak, it is mainly the decision of Dean Xue Wuwu, whoever the dean wants to stay, he must stay, and whoever the dean wants to leave, it is impossible for him to continue to stay here.

Of course, Ning Haoran was also qualified to drive anyone down the mountain, but he didn't include those who the dean asked to stay.

Li Mengzhou didn't know all this.

As long as he can successfully enter the palace, he doesn't care about the rest.

Nan Sheng didn't know when he had already left with Lu Jiuge.

Ning Haoran arranged for the disciples of the outer courtyard to lead the seven junior brothers and sisters who had just started to go to a special residence to receive daily necessities such as bedding.

Of course, the disciples of the Sword Academy do not have to live in the mountain gate, if the residence is not far from the mountain gate, of course, they can also live at home, they only need to come to the Sword Academy on time every day to attend classes.

The senior brothers of the Sword Academy who led the way in these things have explained them one by one.

By the way, I also talked about some precautions in the mountain gate.

For example, it is forbidden to cook in the mountain gate, open a small stove, and when it comes to the meal, there will naturally be a bell ringing, and the canteen will open the meal, but this is only the rule in the outer courtyard, because the senior brothers and sisters in the inner courtyard have their own independent courtyard, so the meal is more casual, you can cook and eat by yourself when you are free, or you can notify the canteen, and someone will deliver the meal on time.

The class time is almost in the early morning when the time comes, the rest of the time is free, the mountain gate basically will not care, there are questions about the practice can be asked during the class, you can also find the teacher in private, this is not too many rules, as long as the teaching has time, most of them will not refuse to help you solve your doubts.

The arrangement of the house takes some time, and the seven people who entered the house are also temporarily separated, and today's class time has passed, so in addition to arranging the residence and familiarizing yourself with the rules of the mountain gate, there is nothing else to do, and when everything is arranged, you can go to do your own things, and the class will officially start tomorrow, and you will truly become a disciple of the Sword Academy.

Saying goodbye to Shen Jiyue, Li Mengzhou and He Zhengrong walked down the mountain together.

Because Shen Jiyue's home is in Tongzhou, she naturally lives in the Sword Courtyard, but she needs a letter when she has time to inform her family that she has entered the palace.

And He Zhengrong's home was originally in the capital, and the capital was not far from the palace mountain gate, so he didn't want to live at home, but he always had to go back and give a notice.

Li Mengzhou didn't plan to live in the Sword Courtyard in the first place, after all, in addition to cultivation, he had a lot of things to do, and it was more suitable to operate in the capital.

But what he didn't know was that the process of leaving the palace entrance test had been transmitted to the capital in a very short period of time, and the most worthy of discussion was that in addition to Zheng Qian, who was driven down the mountain, it was undoubtedly Li Mengzhou, the most bizarre disciple in the history of the Palace Sword Academy, who had shown extremely high qualifications in the half-day visualization of Amaterasu but could not see the sea of qi.

......

Li Mengzhou didn't know that he would soon become a celebrity in the capital because he was admitted to the palace, although he had a bad reputation.

At the moment, his mood was quite apprehensive.

Because when he was about to go down the mountain, Ning Haoran called him.

Then he was taken to a small courtyard.

Li Mengzhou said hesitantly: "Fourth Senior Brother, who are you bringing me to see?"

Since he entered the Sword Academy, it is naturally easier to call him, Jiang Guo respects his teacher the most, even if he meets his senior brother and sister, he must uphold the greatest respect.

Ning Haoran pointed to the small courtyard in front of him and said with a smile: "You'll know when you arrive." ”

The door of the small courtyard was open, and the people inside could not be seen outside, so he followed Ning Hao and then walked into the house, and saw the figure sitting on the chair.

This is a middle-aged man with gray hair tied up casually, and he is not very particular about dressing, maybe he can also be called an old man. He was dressed in a green robe, which did not look like a precious brocade weaving, and at first glance it would give people a very frugal feeling.

The old man's face was serious but not cold, but lazy, his skin was very fair, and there were not many wrinkles, but the vague decadence of his spirit made him look older than his actual age.

can imagine that the old man was a handsome boy when he was young, such a vicissitudes of decadence, and his charm was not diminished back then, and he liked those resentful women the most.

There was a sword on his left hand, the sword was very slender, the scabbard was made of some kind of substance, it was cyan, and the width of the scabbard was only about two and a half fingers, you can imagine how slender the sword body inside was.

The hilt of this sword is slightly longer than the ordinary hilt, and there are not many bells and whistles, but the appearance of the sword itself also seems to indicate the identity of the old man.

Li Mengzhou was in the capital, and he had already thought about being admitted to the palace, and he also knew a lot about the things in the palace, and there was only one person in the entire capital who had such a sword.

As far as he knew, this sword was named Lishuang, and it was Xue Wang's natal sword.

Then the identity of the old man sitting in front of him is about to come out.

He waved his hands respectfully and said, "Disciple Li Mengzhou, meet the teacher." ”

Xue Wang's eyes didn't even fall on Li Mengzhou's body, he just beckoned to Ning Haoran, Ning Haoran smiled slightly, and stepped forward to pour tea for Xue Wangwu.

Li Mengzhou maintained the action of salutation, and he didn't think about it, he still had some self-knowledge after all, Xue Wangwu was the first sword cultivator in Jiang Country, and he was also the most promising figure to become a sword immortal.

Like this kind of immortal figure who is famous far and wide and is easy to see, Li Mengzhou has been fascinated for a long time, and now he is worshipping under Xue Wangwu's door, and of course he will not be less courteous.

Fortunately, Xue Wangwu didn't let Li Mengzhou wait too long, took the tea handed over by Ning Haoran, gently blew the tea powder on it, and after taking a sip, he said lightly: "Patience is good, but the title of teacher is a bit early." ”

Li Mengzhou didn't know what it meant, and subconsciously raised his head and said, "The disciple just entered the Sword Academy today, what will he call if he doesn't call the teacher?"

Xue Wangwu smashed his mouth, carefully tasted the aftertaste of tea, still didn't look at Li Mengzhou, and said, "Who told you that when you enter the Sword Academy, I am your teacher?"

Li Mengzhou was a little depressed in his heart, and muttered secretly: "If you don't call you teacher, do you want to call me teacher." ”

Although his muttering voice was very small, he was still listened to by Xue Wangwei, so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and was about to throw the teacup in his hand, but after thinking about it, this teacup was quite precious, wouldn't it be a pity to break it, so he put down the teacup again, slapped Ning Haoran on the head, glared at Li Mengzhou fiercely and said, "Bastard, what did you say?"

Li Mengzhou was stunned.

Ning Haoran covered his head and became even more aggrieved, and said in his heart that Li Mengzhou's kid was talking nonsense, why did you beat me?

Xue Wangwu didn't seem to see Ning Haoran's resentful eyes, his anger came and went quickly, and he said righteously: "Those who take me as a teacher are all disciples of the inner courtyard, and you are a little guy who has just started to dare to climb high? If you want to respect me as a teacher, it also depends on whether you have that qualification." ”

Li Mengzhou scratched his head, glanced at Ning Haoran, who had suffered from the unwarranted disaster, but said disapprerovitly: "It's just the inner courtyard, I have to enter sooner or later, it's okay to call the teacher first, anyway, it's a matter of time, it's better to cultivate the relationship between master and apprentice in advance." ”

The corners of Xue Wang's eyes twitched slightly.

It seems that I am speechless to see such a shameless teenager.

Xu is as the dean of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, Xue Wangwu also felt that he couldn't get over his face, and said with a cold snort: "Do you think that if you enter the inner courtyard, you will definitely be able to worship under my door? If I don't want you, it's useless for you to go anywhere." ”

Li Mengzhou was surprised and said: "What does the teacher mean by this? If you don't want me, why do you let me pass the entrance test? Could it be that the teacher is such an untrustworthy person?"

Xue Wangwu smiled coldly and said, "A person who has entered Amaterasu but can't see the sea of qi, I am willing to accept you, and you will be grateful to Dade, and you dare to kick your nose in the face? Who gave you confidence?"

Li Mengzhou was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but say: "Self-confidence is given by myself, and outsiders can also give it, of course I am very confident in myself, if I can worship the teacher, I will naturally have more confidence." I believe that with the strong strength and insight of the teacher, it should be easy to solve this small problem of mine. ”

Ning Haoran glanced at Li Mengzhou, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Xue Wangwu once again had a feeling of speechlessness, if he refuted, wouldn't it mean that his ability was not good, his knowledge was short-sighted, and he couldn't even solve this so-called small problem?

The dean of the dignified Sword Academy, and the recognized number one sword cultivator in the Jiang Kingdom, one of the people who stand at the pinnacle of the entire Jiang Country, face is of course very important, and the sword cultivator who would rather bend than bend has always been the most unavoidable.

He had no way to refute Li Mengzhou, so he could only grab the wine jug on the table, take a sip of wine, and said incorrectly: "This little problem is nothing to me." ”

Li Mengzhou's face was overjoyed.

Of course, he believes in Xue Wangwu very much, this has nothing to do with any reason, just because of the name Xue Wangwu, he is already worthy of being trusted.

A great monk like Xue Wangyu had no reason to deceive him into a small role.

Other things don't matter, but when it comes to cultivation, Li Mengzhou is very good at climbing up the pole, and without waiting for Xue Wangwu to say anything, he asked eagerly: "Teacher, I don't know if there is any problem with my body, why can't I see the sea of qi even though I have entered Amaterasu?"

Xue Wangwu was very entangled in Li Mengzhou's name for him, but obviously there was no way to correct it for a while, just as a default, hearing Li Mengzhou's problem, he thought for a moment and said: "There is nothing wrong with your body, and it is surprisingly good, but you do have some problems." ”

Li Mengzhou's hands trembled slightly, and he looked at Xue Wangwu with hope.

Xue Wangwu didn't speak, just stared at Li Mengzhou.

The look was bland, but for some reason, Li Mengzhou had a feeling of being completely seen through, and he was very uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to interrupt Xue Wangwu's almost raging eyes.

After a long time, Xue Wangwu sighed slightly, groped his chin with some stubble, and said: "Cultivation pays attention to birth, purity and less interference, and the mental energy is spent on the perception of oneself and the aura of heaven and earth, and the cultivation will progress quickly." Therefore, most of the outstanding talents in the cultivation mountain gate will be isolated from the outside world and will be obscure.

However, there is also a saying about entering the WTO, walking in the world, having more understanding, more encounters, and the faster the cultivation progresses, but this is not suitable for everyone. So those little guys in the inner courtyard are staying in the palace, but your senior brother has chosen to join the WTO.

Everyone has to go out of their own way, which needs to be explored slowly. Your spiritual problems may not be a problem in some ways, it's just a matter of finding the crux of the problem and taking the time to solve it. ”

Li Mengzhou said: "Before coming to the capital, I met Senior Brother Ye Jinyu from the same door, and there was a Mr. Wu by his side, and Mr. Wu told me that I had a sea of qi, but it was different from ordinary people. I still don't have a way to understand this sentence, but maybe it has something to do with my inability to see the sea of qi, and I hope that the teacher will solve the doubts of the disciples. ”
