August 14 is the day when the Great Chu County test begins.

The county examination takes three days, and on the first day, the test is Jingyi, and a few passages are selected from the writings of the five sages who were offered to the main hall of the Confucian Temple by the imperial court, and they are required to be written silently and explained; On the second day, the test was a poem fu, which required three poems and one fu, two of which must be written according to the title; On the third day, I will examine the strategy and theory, and choose one of three topics to write an article to elaborate.

After the completion of the three subjects, the papers will be revised separately, and the papers are divided into five grades: "super", "excellent", "upper", "middle", and "lower".

In this way, on average, most of the people who can pass each county examination are no more than 30. Once every three years, the talents selected in the county can be selected each time, and it is not enough to even make up for the vacancy of middle and lower-level civil officials in the county.

Xiong Da the Great, the founding emperor of the Great Chu State who formulated the imperial examination system, must have been well versed in the way of hunger marketing.

Lin Lushan carried a bookcase containing two sets of four treasures of the study, lined up in a long queue to catch the exam, and slowly walked into the examination room along the narrow corridor with thousands of talents from various counties in the county.

This Yongdao is supervised by a master of the Dao, which can make all the entrainment and private hiding without body search, which not only saves manpower and time, but also respects the human rights of the talents who are rushing to take the exam, which fully reflects the superiority of the Xianxia world.

Before turning the corner, Lin Lushan couldn't help but look at the bustling crowd of people sending the exam.

Seeing that pink, his originally nervous and worried mood calmed down, and his high fighting spirit rose leisurely.

The biggest ideal of a manly husband is to seal his wife and sons and make meritorious contributions.

And this moment is the first step on his road to success!

After entering the examination room and receiving the papers, he took a cursory look at it and settled down in his heart - simple, they have already been memorized!

Lin Lushan has read poetry and books since he was a child, especially the works of the sages, and he doesn't know how many times he has read and memorized Lu Dao. As long as he was given time, it would be easy to write those writings silently, even with the annotations of the famous writers of the past.

Jingyi is not difficult for him!

It only took him half a day to finish the paper, and the rest of the day was spent double-checking to avoid any possible omissions and mistakes.

When the papers came out in the evening, he smiled confidently at his relatives and family members who were already waiting at the door, and gave them a thumbs up.

"No problem!"

At about this time, in the depths of the desert thousands of miles away from the Great Chu Kingdom, Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi were confronting Su Lin and others.

"If you want to ask who in this world is the most suitable to be the heir of the cloth god, it can only be me!"

Just this sentence completely destroyed the originally harmonious atmosphere, and it seemed that even the evening breeze was a little cooler.

When Su Lin said this, Xiao Buyi was angry at that time, and asked viciously: "Why? ”

"By my lifespan." A certain tree demon said something that made him speechless, "Even if I don't cultivate, I can have a lifespan of more than three thousand years; And with my current Taoism, the longevity is almost 10,000 years - the average lifespan of a monk who has entered the Tao is not more than 200 years, and I am more than 50 times that of yours! ”

This was so convincing that Xiao Buyi was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't think of how to refute it.

He originally thought of several sets of arguments, and no matter what Su Lin said, he could refute it on the spot. But he didn't expect Su Lin to talk about it from the perspective of Taoist inheritance at all, but turned to the perspective of Shouyuan!

How can humans compare their lifespan to that of tree spirits! Each other is not at all a grade good!

No matter how advanced the cultivation is, if the human race does not ascend, it will live for 1,500 years at most, which is basically the limit. But there are many monsters that can exceed this number, and it is common for three to five thousand years.

And the Treant ...... Even among youkai, it is known for its longevity.

Among the demons in the world, there are several famous longevity tree demons, such as the old banyan tree "Rongyi" who lives in the "single-tree forest" by the South China Sea, and the "pine and cypress sheng" who likes to dress up as a scholar and travel around the world, all of which are super old-timers who have lived for at least twenty or thirty thousand years.

The spell of the cloth cloth god is very special, and it will consume longevity when divination. This has led to the fact that the heirs, including Xiao Buyi, are a little old and decrepit, and may even die early at a young age.

But this problem does not exist for Su Lin, his lifespan is dozens or even hundreds of times that of mortals, and he can consume Shouyuan without care.

Wu Xie has also heard of the name of the first god in the north, and it is said that this Su god is a pedantic celestial, and he almost never makes a mistake in looking at the hexagram, and he is simply a mythical figure.

However, Su Lin's whereabouts have always been very secretive, almost no one has seen his true face, and almost no one knows where he is now—it is clear that he has fully learned the lessons of Li Buyi back then, and has done a very good job in self-protection.

So it wasn't until now that Wu Xie realized that Lu Dao was also a monster, and he was still the longest-lived type of monster.

It is undeniable that compared with Xiao Buyi, who has a lifespan of no more than two hundred years, Su Lin does have a unique advantage in learning the spells of the cloth cloth god system.

However, Xiao Buyi refused to give up, he pondered for a while and found a good reason.

"What my generation of monks seek is the supreme path, and immortality is only the inevitable result of the process of seeking the path. Although the Dryad have a long history, there are few examples of this race ascending. You are suited to be an elder of a sect of Dharma preaching, not an heir to the true Dharma preaching. ”

"Ascension?" Su Lin seemed to think this sentence was funny, and his eyes narrowed with laughter, "It's so funny, you haven't even refined your Gang Qi, you dream of ascending, don't you think it's too much to take it for granted?" ”

"If it's not for the sake of ascension, why should we ask for immortals?"

"Cultivation is for transcendence, does it matter whether you ascend or not?" Su Lin said nonchalantly, "Even if you soar, you may not be able to live longer than me." ”

"What's more......" He looked at Xiao Buyi carefully and shook his head, "Your life is too thin, and it may be the limit of the refining level in this life." Ascension or something, it has nothing to do with you. ”

Xiao Buyi naturally told his fortune, and the conclusion was no different from Su Lin. He frowned, also stared at Su Lin, and asked disdainfully, "Is your life heavier than mine?" What to be proud of! What is the use of longevity? I don't think you're going to outlive me! ”

"You can tell my fortune just by looking at my face?" Su Lin Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, "My appearance is someone else's at all, whether my life is thick or not, whether I live long or not, it is someone else's business." If I felt the need, I could have changed into something else. ”

"The world looks at the real eyes, and I am a dryad, and my true face is a big tree. Do you want to show me a photo? Do you want me to show my true identity and let you help me touch my bones? ”

Xiao Buyi said the wrong thing, and was teased by him a lot, and he was so angry that he trembled, but he had nothing to say.

Since language cannot complete the negotiation, the only way to do it is to use violence. There is a saying that "violence cannot solve the problem, but it can eliminate the problem", just as there was once the world's largest country on the earth, which was good at using nuclear bombs to extinguish oil field fires.

When one goes down, the mushroom cloud rises, and the world realm will naturally be pure.

Xiao Buyi took a deep breath and raised his feet and walked towards Su Lin.

His steps are very strange, and his walking speed is extremely slow, slowly raising his feet and falling slowly, as if he is singing.

But as he took this step, the atmosphere around him completely changed.

Originally, the evening breeze was blowing on the desert, and the wind was blowing through the ruins more and more violently, making a low or sharp sound, and the sand was wrapped in the wind and flying in the air, hitting people from time to time with slight pain.

But after Xiao Buyi's step fell, the rumor disappeared.

It's not that the wind is gone, in fact, the wind is still blowing, and the grains of sand still hurt slightly on the body.

— but the sound of the wind was gone.

It's like suddenly pressing the mute button on the remote control while watching TV, and the picture is still playing, but the sound disappears without a trace.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask the reason, but he didn't speak.

The strange silence in front of him was obviously Xiao Buyi's spell, he didn't understand the principle of spells, so he couldn't help, but at least he couldn't help.

Yan Feng, who was about to speak, glanced at him and closed his mouth as well.

However, others didn't think so, and the short man who was walking with Su Lin asked in a rough voice, "What's wrong?" Why is the wind gone? ”

In the silence of the desert, his voice seemed harsh.

Su Lin didn't answer, just looked at Xiao Buyi coldly.

Xiao Buyi didn't go any further, he just maintained a posture that seemed to be moving forward, but he didn't move.

"Do you want to wait for the wind to stir up the sound? Or do you want to start a boom? Su Lin waited for a while and asked coldly, "Calculate the time, it's about the same." ”

Xiao Buyi's face showed a bit of sarcasm, but he didn't speak, just stood there still.

"What is he doing here?" Another colleague of Su Lin, a young man who had been on guard at the tail of the sled, asked, "Senior Su, can you tell us about it?" ”

"It's nothing, it's this spell 'Feng Shui'. He stepped on the sound of the wind in this area, and after a while he could activate them together, or cause the sound of all things on the earth, whether it was for the 'sound of the earth', or turn into a violent roar, for the 'roar of the wind'. Su Lin looked very relaxed, but seeing him talking while staring at the foot that Xiao Buyi had just stepped out, he knew that he was actually nervous.

"Is there a difference between the two spells?" The young man continued.

"It's all a little trick, it's not worth mentioning." Su Lin shook his hand lightly, "If you want to do it, your brother is much stronger than us, not to mention that there are still Daoyou here." He simply couldn't win. ”

"Senior Brother alone is stronger than us combined." Yan Feng's voice was a little hoarse, "Three years ago, not long after he entered the Dao, he killed the 'Wan' and 'Qian' of the four murderers in the southeast in one go, and then turned around and killed the Holy Celestial Maiden of the Supreme Holy Sect who was quite famous in the self-opening faction. The Zhang family brothers will not be stronger than the four fierce in the southeast, and I don't think I am stronger than the Holy Heavenly Maiden. ”

"What's more...... Why do I want to help you and do it with my senior brother? He looked at Su Lin with some sarcasm, "This is almost equivalent to betraying the master!" Are you fooling me? ”

The faces of Su Lin and the Zhang brothers suddenly became ugly.

They never thought that Wu Jie's strength was strong, and they didn't expect Yan Feng's attitude to be so resolute, they didn't even talk about it at all.

A smile appeared on Xiao Buyi's face, although he couldn't say Su Lin in theory, as long as he could beat it.

"I think let's not do it yet." Wu Xie sighed and persuaded, "The ruins are right in front of you, but the inheritance land has not been found yet, even if you want to snatch the opportunity, at least you must find the inheritance land first!" If the Land of Inheritance is no longer there, won't our efforts be in vain? ”

Xiao Buyi looked at Su Lin, and when he saw Su Lin nodding slightly, he sneered and withdrew his foot.

Immediately, the sound of the evening breeze filled the surroundings again, as if nothing had happened.

"According to the cheats, on the fifteenth day of August, the land of inheritance will be opened."

Su Lin immediately took over the conversation: "When the land of inheritance is opened, we will compete again!" ”

"Good!"
