CHAPTER XXXI
In a pavilion at the foot of Bai Zhou Mountain, two figures stood there, looking down on the current situation of recruiting new disciples. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And the movement brought by Mo Chen and Brother Huang just now naturally attracted their attention.
The old man in a light blue brocade robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, crane hair and a childish face, his complexion gives people a heroic and sassy feeling, and he is Xuan Jianqing, one of the three major sword venerables of the Sword Sect.
He put his hands behind his back, his eyes were firmly fixed on the place where Brother Huang disappeared just now and beside him, his brows furrowed slightly.
And beside him, an old man in a gray plain shirt, who looked with messy hair, gave people an embarrassing visual impact.
"Uncle Mengxu, why is it that when a sect recruits new disciples, you who have traveled all over the world will rush back!"
"Hehe... I just want to see these energetic little guys. The old man who was called Mengxu smiled faintly.
He is the junior disciple of the current head of the Sword Sect - Empty Dream Void.
He is in a high position in the sect, and his status is much higher than that of the three major sword venerables, that is, the Supreme Elder of the Sword Sect.
"Then what can Uncle Shi see?" Although Xuan Jianqing didn't know if what he was saying was the truth, he also said jokingly.
"It's not like much. When Kong Mengxu said this, his eyes became sharp, and his eyes kept scanning the crowd, as if he was looking for something.
"What does Uncle Shi think of that little guy just now?" Xuan Jianqing didn't pay attention to the empty dream's actions, and subconsciously pointed to Mo Chen, who was registering the entry information, and asked.
Following the direction pointed by Xuan Jianqing, Empty Mengxu immediately noticed Mo Chen, and looked at the young man tightly, and when he could see the latter's appearance clearly, his face seemed to show a strange expression.
However, he quickly recovered and said with a faint smile: "It's not good, it looks ordinary." ā
"But, in the farce just now, I thought this little guy was very funny. Xuan Jianqing smiled faintly.
Speaking of this, Xuan Jianqing remembered everything that happened in the Five Poison Pool when he forced out the charm poison for Mo Chen, and he felt that Mo Chen's body was a little mysterious, and there were secrets on his body.
Hearing the empty dream, his eyes stared at Mo Chen tightly, his eyes became sharp, as if he was thinking about something.
....
Listening to Mo Chen's words, the disciple of the Sword Holding Sect who had registered his name glanced at him, and immediately picked up the pen in his hand and asked, "What's your name?"
"Mo Chen!" he replied.
"Where do you stay?"
"Shijia Village!"
"Shijiacun, okay, it's okay. The disciple of the Sword Holding Sect recorded some simple introductory information, and then took out an assessment card and gave it to Mo Chen.
Mo Chen took the assessment card, then moved the burden on his back, just exposed a large section of the wrapped Tiance Sword, and then left.
At this time, a young man in a red robe walked beside him, with a knife and a handsome face, with a faint smile on his face, and passed by Mo Chen.
The two walked ten meters away from each other, Mo Chen paused, turned to look at the young man in the red robe, and then turned to leave.
"What's your name!" the disciple who registered the information asked as he watched the man in red approach.
"Tong Qi!" replied the man in red very elegantly.
However, as he spoke, his eyes looked at Mo Chen's back intentionally or unintentionally, and the corners of his mouth set off a faint arc.
....
In the gazebo not far away, the empty dream's eyes were sharp, and his eyes were also looking at Mo Chen's back, his expression was solemn, and he didn't have the relieved look just now.
Xuan Jianqing didn't speak when he saw that he was empty, so he subconsciously looked back at him, but saw that the latter had a strange expression, so he immediately followed his gaze and happened to see Mo Chen's walking back.
With his agile insight, he found that the empty dream void gaze had been falling on the ancient sword that Mo Chen was carrying behind him.
"Uncle Shi, what are you looking at?" Xuan Jianqing's expression was indifferent, but he was slightly curious.
"Oh... It's nothing. The empty dream was interrupted by Xuan Jianqing, who came back to his senses and shook his head with a light smile.
Xuan Jianqing felt that the empty dream was a little strange today, but he didn't say anything, just stared at the first assessment location.
"Let's take a look at the Sword Spirit Array!" Xuan Jianqing finished speaking, and turned into a streamer, and the sword light disappeared.
Leaving the empty dream to stand alone, looking at the place where Mo Chen disappeared, after a while, he sighed and said, "It's still here!"
....
Mo Chen walked and walked, as if he felt that someone was watching him, he paused, then turned his head suddenly, looked around, and found that there were people in front of him, but everyone was walking their own way, and no one looked at him.
This made Mo Chen a little puzzled, and then looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the pavilion on the mountainside in the distance, which was the location of Xuan Jianqing and Empty Dream Void just now, but there was no one now.
"Are you too sensitive?" Mo Chen disturbed his head, and then continued to walk.
Following the people in front of him, he came to a square, Mo Chen blended into the crowd and looked very ordinary.
The square, which used to be very quiet, is now extremely lively, and it is full of black heads at a glance.
Mo Chen stood in the crowd, looked around, and found that all around him were noble children dressed in gorgeous and extravagant costumes, some looked high, some looked arrogant and indifferent, and some felt pampered.
Mo Chen has a misfit mentality.
He shook his head, and his gaze accidentally landed on a place full of sword formations not far away.
There were thirteen long swords standing in levitation, arranged in the shape of a seven-star Beidou array, which looked very calm at this time, which made Mo Chen very curious.
"Is this the subject of the assessment?" Mo Chen muttered to himself.
"Whew!"
At this moment, on a small round platform in the square, four figures fell together, like gods descending from the sky.
The people who came were Kong Mengxu, Xuan Jianqing, and the young law enforcement elder, as well as the chief examiner of this assessment.
With the arrival of the four people, the commotion in the crowd below immediately quieted down, and only a few people sighed that there would be such a lineup in this Sword Sect assessment.
Mo Chen stood in the crowd, and he also noticed the four people who came, and Xuan Jianqing naturally knew him.
"Why is he?" When Mo Chen's gaze fell on the black-robed law enforcement elder, his eyes showed a look of shock, and he murmured, "Isn't this the person who was that night?"
That's right, this law enforcement elder is the young man Mo Chen met in the so-called haunted house a month ago, that is, Chu Yuexi's younger brother.
Empty Mengxu, Xuan Jianqing, and the law enforcement elders sat down, and the chief examiner presided over the rest.
"Teenagers, I am Ximen Qingkong, the chief examiner of this year's sect assessment. The old man who called himself Ximen Qingkong, with white hair, looked at the young men and women in the crowd with a smile, and said: "Next, I won't talk nonsense, this year's assessment is divided into three levels, which are the sword heart, the sword spirit array, and the three major parts of the heavy pressure sword qi. ā
As soon as these words fell, there was a commotion and whispers in the crowd.
And the empty dream behind Ximen Qingkong, who was sitting behind Ximen Qingkong, kept looking left and right, as if he was looking for something.
"I said, uncle, why are you always looking around today, what are you here?" Xuan Jianqing felt that the empty dream void that had always cared about nothing was a little abnormal today.
In previous years, although Empty Mengxu would come when recruiting new disciples, it would not stay for too long, and it would not come to this point every year.
"No.... It's nothing. Empty Mengxu seemed a little embarrassed, and then asked, "Where is the young man you just talked about?"
When Xuan Jianqing heard this, he knew that the person he was looking for was Mo Chen.
However, he wondered in his heart, could it be that Uncle Shi has taken a fancy to this kid?
"Uncle Shi, don't be in a hurry, wait for the assessment to begin, and you'll know, besides, you don't know if he is worthy of attention. Xuan Jianqing thought that it might be that Uncle Shi had not accepted an apprentice and wanted to accept an apprentice to play.
"Whether it's worth it or not, you have to let him enter the Sword Sect!" said Empty Dream Void as if absent-mindedly.
"Huh?" Xuan Jianqing was a little surprised, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and asked, "Why?"
Their conversation naturally fell into the ears of the young man on the side, that is, the law enforcement elder, his eyes moved slightly, but he quickly regained his calm.
"There's no reason, this is the task given to you by Uncle Shi, and it must be completed, otherwise I won't be able to spare you. Empty Mengxu was suddenly a little unreasonable, glared at Xuan Jianqing and said.
Xuan Jianqing was also stunned, but he knew that his uncle had always had a strange temper, so he could only laugh it off.
However, he became more and more curious about Mo Chen in his heart.
As the two of them talked, Ximen Qingkong had already said the rules of the assessment, looked at everyone and said, "The assessment begins!"
