Under the scorching sun, Jiang Yuanzi looked up at the sun, and then turned his head to the disciple sitting behind him and asked:

"How's it going, are you hungry?"

In this team, except for him who can go without eating, the other disciples, especially Qi Ming, need to eat to maintain their energy, and now Jiang Yuanzi looks at it is noon, thinking about going to the nearby villages and cities to find something to eat.

And he is also familiar with this place, this is still in the Heavenly Covering County, but it has reached the edge and further forward is the place where it borders Dongshan County, Linshan City.

"Uncle Shi is a little hungry. The disciple touched his stomach and responded.

"Then let's go down and get something to eat. ”

Jiang Yuanzi said with a smile, patted the head of the flower carving, and then the flower carving began to fly down.

When the leading flower carving went down, the flower carving sitting in unison behind it also followed closely and flew down.

When the rapid air flow whistled by, and Qi Ming's eyes were blown by the wind and it was difficult to open them, a city vaguely appeared in Qi Ming's narrow line of sight.

When the 100-meter-high flower carving from the ground changed from swooping to gliding, the air flow slowed down, Qi Ming's eyes were opened, and the city standing on the vast plain really appeared in Qi Ming's eyes.

The city is very large, the towering and magnificent buildings and city walls cover hundreds of miles, and when you look at Qi Ming from above, you can see many small horse caravans walking on the official road not far from the city gate and in front of the city.

Looking at the horses and people who were as small as ants in their eyes, Qi Ming muttered: "This is much more prosperous than Tianshan City." ”

"Flutter Flutter~"

With the sound of flapping wings and flying dust, the flower sculpture landed on the nearby official road.

The flower carving fell steadily, Qi Ming watched Wang Shuo and Liu Jing beside him jump down, and he slowly climbed down the soft ladder.

As soon as he came, Jiang Yuanzi walked up to him and said with a smile: "Brother Qi Ming, are you hungry, go eat something." ”

Looking at the seventy or eighty old man in front of him, and the title of brother, Qi Ming was a little ashamed, "Senior, you still call me Qi Ming, you can't stand it anymore when you call the junior like this." ”

"Haha~, okay. Jiang Yuanzi said happily.

"Qi Ming, go. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the city with Qi Ming.

There is still some distance between the official road and the city, so Jiang Yuanzi looked at Qi Ming and asked:

"What does Qi Ming usually like to eat?"

"Hehe, the juniors are not picky eaters, seniors, let's just eat a little bit. Qi Ming looked at Jiang Yuanzi, who was a little enthusiastic, and said with a smile.

"Don't eat well, where does the spirit come from, here I have been to a restaurant where the food is not bad, where are we going to eat." Jiang Yuanzi glanced at Qi Ming and said righteously.

"Hmm. ”

In front of Jiang Yuanzi, Qi Ming didn't have much to say, so he had to answer.

The disciples who followed behind the two looked at Qi Ming's treatment, and their faces were different, and the disdain in their eyes flowed out undisguisedly.

If Qi Ming's cultivation talent is acceptable, they won't feel anything, but Qi Ming doesn't have any cultivation.

In their opinion, Qi Ming is useless except for relying on his grandfather behind him, and they are extremely disdainful of such a person. At the moment, it's just that because of the situation, the forces behind Qi Ming don't dare to say it.

"Linshan City, this is the northernmost border of the Heavenly Covering County. ”

At this time, when he walked to the foot of the city, Qi Ming looked up at the name carved on the city gate, and the information about the location of this place came to his mind, and muttered.

As he spoke, he looked around, and after seeing many monks of all colors holding swords and leading demon beasts coming and going at the gate of the city, he showed a trace of worry between his eyebrows, and he was sure in his heart, "It seems that this place is really not peaceful." ”

In the days when he decided to go to Wendaoyuan, Qi Ming had already set off from Tianshan City to Wendaoyuan, and he remembered the locations and cities along the way, including the local cultural turmoil.

The geographical location of Linshan Castle also determines its turbulent nature, since ancient times, the border has been turbulent, although it is not a border, but it is located between the two counties also has various dangerous conflict factors.

"That's right, this is the northernmost border of the Heavenly Covering County. ”

Jiang Yuanzi watched Qi Ming accurately say the location here, and was still a little surprised, the young people now are all focused on cultivation, and they are all road idiots for mountains and rivers geography.

However, after turning his head and thinking about it, Jiang Yuanzi felt normal, as if Qi Ming had not yet started to cultivate.

Linshan City is extremely prosperous, and the gate of the city where people come and go is somewhat crowded, and a caravan Qi Ming and Jiang Yuanzi walked into the city.

The streets of the city are paved with flat bluestones, and the streets on both sides are planted with weeping willow trees, which are in the hot summer at the moment, and these two rows of weeping willow trees add a lot of coolness to this mountain town.

"This mountain town is really nice. ”

Walking against the side of the road, Qi Ming picked a few tender green willow leaves and praised them sincerely.

Jiang Yuanzi said with a smile: "Yes, this Linshan City is a famous ancient city in our Covering Heaven County, and it is also an extremely prosperous city when it intersects with Dongshan County. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

In Qi Ming and Jiang Yuanzi's laughing and talking, several Tianshan Sect disciples who followed behind them looked at each other and sneered, and some even muttered in a low voice:

"I've never seen the world. ”

"It's here. ”

In the noisy and crowded, Jiang Yuanzi stopped, looked at a restaurant on the street, and smiled at Qi Ming.

Qi Ming looked at the three-storey restaurant painted with vermilion paint, hanging with brocade flags fluttering in the wind, above the first floor and below the second floor, hanging a boxy vermilion plaque, engraved with golden words in the middle, Wangshan Tower.

"Wangshan Tower"

Qi Ming whispered.

While speaking, the guy standing at the door hurriedly ran over to Qi Ming and bowed to Qi Ming and asked:

"Childe, please come in. ”

As soon as the man's words fell, Liu Jing behind Qi Ming scolded the man:

"Are you blind? I can't tell the difference between the big and the small kings, and I don't see my uncle standing here?

The little guy was scolded by this master of the Immortal Sect who was wearing a Taoist uniform and holding a sword in his hand, and his courage was frightened, and he didn't dare to look at everyone directly, and he lowered his head and trembled in panic and apologized:

"I'm sorry adults, the little ones have no beads, and please forgive me!"

"Liu Jing, how did you speak. ”

Jiang Yuanzi glanced at the frightened guy, and looked at Liu Jing angrily, he heard what Liu Jing said outside of him, obviously he didn't take Qi Ming in his eyes, and he was busy accusing.

"Uncle Shi. ”

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yuanzi saw that Liu Jing was about to explain and interrupted directly, and then looked at Qi Ming with a smile and asked Qi Ming to go in.

"Qi Ming, come in. ”

Qi Ming was a little embarrassed, just now Liu Jing pointed out that Sang scolded Huai, he heard it clearly, and after seeing the obvious disdain in the eyes of Liu Jing and Wang Shuo and other Tianshan Sect disciples, he looked at Jiang Yuanzi respectfully and helplessly said:

"Senior, it's better for you to invite first. ”

"Ahem~"

"Little Er, settle my three flower carvings. ”

"Qi Ming, let's go in together. ”

Jiang Yuanzi looked at the embarrassment on Qi Ming's face, and then saw the disdainful gaze in the eyes of his disciples, and was angry. But it's hard to say anything, and it seems even more obvious if you continue to talk about it, and she coughed lightly twice and pulled Qi Ming in with her after arranging her flower carving.

He didn't know very well about the identities of Qi Ming's two grandfathers, but he was rescued by Jing Daochuan when he was very young, and the strength that Jing Daochuan showed at that time had already made him unreachable.

He was quite excited about Jing Daochuan's letter, and he was even more interested in Jing Daochuan's request for help.

But seeing that his disciples were disdainful of Qi Ming's cultivation problems, he was angry and hated that iron could not become steel.

Walking into the restaurant, Jiang Yuanzi was afraid that there would be any trouble at the dinner table, so he directly asked a few people to sit separately from himself and Qi Ming.

"A few of you can sit over there, and I can sit with Qi Ming. ”

"Uncle Shi. ”

Seeing that their uncle actually wanted to sit alone with Qi Ming, this made them even more jealous of Qi Ming, this is something they can't ask for, if they have a few words of guidance from their uncle at the dinner table, it will be even more beautiful.

Qi Ming looked at the unkind gazes of several people, a smile of embarrassment appeared on his face, and at the same time swallowed a trace of bitter water.

"You guys are either eating or waiting outside. ”

Jiang Yuanzi looked at these disciples who were not successful and said bluntly.

It was only when he set his eyes on Wang Shuo that the anger in his eyes eased a little, and he commanded Wang Shuo:

"Wang Shuo, you and your Senior Brother Liu are responsible, don't make any more trouble for me. ”

Wang Shuo glanced at Qi Ming with a smile and promised, "Uncle Shi, don't worry." ”

Qi Ming looked at the smile on Wang Shuo's face, only to feel cold, but he didn't think so, he didn't believe that Wang Shuo could still do anything to him when he was with Jiang Yuanzi, as for the future affairs, wait until Wendao Academy.

Sitting at the dinner table, Qi Ming moved his chopsticks to stuff things into his mouth, and he was hungry all morning.

has been eating wildly, Qi Ming noticed the embarrassment on Jiang Yuanzi's face, and also felt that he was somewhat indecent, so he took advantage of the break in dinner to talk, on the one hand, he also covered up the embarrassment:

"Senior, what are you doing when you go to the Wendao Academy? Could it be that your disciples also want to enter the Wendao Academy?"

Qi Ming was a little curious, Wang Shuo, who had already entered the Immortal Cultivation Sect, went to Wen Dao Academy.

Jiang Yuanzi said with a smile: "Hehe, you guessed it right, Wendao Academy is the first academy in the world, and every year our sect will send some top-notch disciples to study in Wendao Academy. ”

"Oh, that's it. ”

Jiang Yuanzi glanced at the few people sitting at the dining table in the distance, and then said to Qi Ming: "But the threshold of Wendao Academy is too high, and they don't know if they can go in." ”

"Senior, there should be a rough standard for the Wendao Academy, right?

Qi Ming was curious about the recruitment criteria of the Daoist Academy and asked.

"Huh?" Jiang Yuanzi fell into thought for a while, and said ambiguously after a long silence:

"Before the age of twelve, you should have to reach the fifth level of the Tianyuan Realm, and if you are talented, you should also reach the Xuan level. ”

After that, he added: "There are still many geniuses who meet this requirement in the three empires, and the number of places in the Wendao Academy is limited, so the Wendao Academy will hold a selection and elimination, and no one can say the specific criteria." ”

"Oh. ”

Qi Ming's face was visibly surprised, such an answer really shocked him, and he responded absentmindedly, thinking that he had already fallen so far with those people.

Thinking of this, Qi Ming's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of loss, but he quickly calmed down and laughed at himself in his heart, "What do you want to do so much, anyway, I used to be an elder." ”
