Chapter 4 The Fish Leaps into the Dragon Gate

The annual Fish Leaping Dragon Gate Contest is about to begin, and the miscellaneous disciples of the Lingxiao Sect are all overjoyed. Many people came to the competition site early in the morning, and for a while, the usually empty square was crowded with low-level miscellaneous disciples. For them, if they can stand out in the competition, they will leap into the dragon gate and change their fate from then on.

Everyone was looking forward to the early start of the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate Competition, when suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and Moltke, dressed in brocade, walked into the square surrounded by several miscellaneous disciples.

"Are you blind? I didn't see Master Gao coming! Don't get out of the way!" Moltke's handymen were very arrogant, and used the beast repellent whip to open a "passage" for Moltke in the crowd.

Moltke walked along this "passage", in full view of everyone, to the front row of all the disciples who participated in the test, looking incredible, as if he was the one who won the crown of this talisman competition.

No one noticed that in the corner of the stage, a disciple who was originally curled up suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with hatred. This person is Xin Yan, after he came out of the cliff, he changed his outfit, changed his appearance, blended into the venue, and hid in an inconspicuous corner, everyone was anxiously waiting for the game to start, and no one noticed him.

Shortly after Moltke entered, surrounded by the deacons and disciples of the outer gates of each hall, the inner disciples who presided over the grand event finally appeared.

"It's coming!" The group of miscellaneous disciples suddenly became a sensation, and everyone craned their necks to look at the positive passage. Xin Yan's heart jumped even more, he stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and looked through the gap between the crowd.

I saw that surrounded by a group of outer deacon disciples, Meng Yunsheng, an inner disciple who walked in the forefront, had a face like a crown of jade, a chic expression, and was dressed in a blue silk spun gold robe, adding a bit of elegance. He was born into a noble family, and at a young age he became one of the inner disciples, and led the departments of spirit plants, talisman making, elixirs, animal taming, and refining. It is said that he is also one of the fanatical suitors of Nangong Yunshan, the daughter of the head of the family.

Behind him is Nangong Yunshan, she is dressed in a plain white dress, her posture is light, the sun shines on her quiet and perfect face, exuding a holy brilliance, although she does not apply powder, does not wear pearls, but she is still beautiful, and her temperament is even more elegant and vulgar, like a fairy.

Xin Yan looked at Nangong Yunshan blankly, she was stupid.

After a long time, Xin Yan finally came back to his senses, and he tried his best to control his emotions and try to calm himself down. From the moment he saw Murong Yunshan, his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this moment, Nangong Yunshan and Meng Yunsheng had already ascended the celebrant platform, and all the miscellaneous disciples, under the leadership of the deacon disciples of the various divisions, all bowed down and sang in unison: "Greetings to Miss Murong and Commander Meng!"

"It seems that my Lingxiao Sect is becoming more and more prosperous!" Nangong Yunshan looked at the crowded disciples in the audience, looking very happy, she stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Please get up." ”

For a moment, each disciple only felt that he was being "pulled" by a gentle force. Everyone couldn't help but secretly marvel that Nangong Yunshan, who seemed to be delicate, was so unfathomable.

"Miss, it's better for you to preside. Meng Yunsheng saluted Nangong Yunshan and said solemnly.

Nangong Yunshan's expression was indifferent, ignoring his flattery at all, and said, "You are the main person in charge of this Fish Leaping Dragon Gate Competition, or you should come." I'll watch the excitement from the sidelines, and it's good. ”

Meng Yunsheng touched the soft nail and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but soon his face returned to normal, and he turned to the miscellaneous disciples in the audience and said, "My Lingxiao Sect uses a sword to establish a sect. However, if the sect wants to prosper, in addition to strong force, it is also inseparable from various production techniques such as spirit plants, pills, talisman making, and animal taming. The two complement each other and should not be neglected. The reason why the sect set up the Leaping Dragon Gate Competition is to test everyone's craftsmanship and select talents. This year's rules are the same as in previous years, the top three disciples in each group are directly promoted to outer disciples, and the top ten also have their own rewards. ”

As soon as he said this, all the miscellaneous disciples were eager to try, eager to take the stage and show their skills.

Seeing that the emotions of the disciples were mobilized, Meng Yunsheng was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "Okay, I won't say more, let's start now." Everyone should let go of their hands and try to be the first. ”

Probably inspired by Meng Yunsheng, the game entered a white-hot heat from the beginning. In the competitions of each group, there are many highlights, but the competition of the symbol group is a bit dull. The level of the participating disciples was uneven, and there were twenty or thirty people in a row, but no one could make more than two magic runes. This couldn't help but make Nangong Yunshan's face show a trace of melancholy.

Fu Xiu is broad and profound, whether it is production and operation, or wartime assistance, it is indispensable. In recent years, the level of the sect's Fu cultivation disciples has not been as good as one session, which can't help but make her worried.

Meng Yunsheng looked at Nangong Yunshan, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, glanced at Gao Mazi, and said, "Didn't your subordinate Moltke know how to make three magic runes, why didn't you see him come to the competition?"

Gao Mazi had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and bowed down and replied: "Leader Qi Cultivation, Mao Qi has recently comprehended the [Frozen Talisman] again, and now he can make four magic talismans. ”

When Nangong Yunshan heard this, her face showed a little joy, and she asked, "Then why haven't you seen him on stage yet?"

Gao Mazi said: "It will be his turn next." ”

Nangong Yunshan nodded and said, "If he really has such a ability, the sect will never hesitate to reward." ”

At this moment, the last disciple who participated in the test finished the competition. Gao Tuyang waved his hand, Moltke understood, knowing that this was a good opportunity to show his face, he jumped and got on the test platform. He saluted Nangong Yunshan and Meng Yunsheng, and said, "Disciple, see Nangong Eldest Miss and Yang Commander!"

Nangong Yunshan said: "Don't be polite, what skills do you have, just use it!"

Moltke silently recited the magic in his mouth, and the talisman pen in his hand writhed violently, as if crazy, and suddenly his pen stabbed down heavily, only to see a sudden shock on the rune paper, as if there were countless thorns about to be pierced out from under the paper, but soon, the rune paper returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Xin Yan stared at Mao Qi's hand and muttered to himself, "So that's the case!"

Among the five element talismans, the [Earth Thorn Talisman] is different from other talismans, and in order to master its production method, it is necessary to communicate with heaven and earth, and introduce the power of mountains and earth into the talismans. Xin Yan had been groping for a long time before, but he had never been able to get in. He is extremely talented, and after watching Moltke draw the [Earth Thorn Talisman], he has already realized it.

"Okay, this [Earth Thorn Talisman] is beautifully made. Nangong Yunshan's eyes showed a little approval, and she also let out a sigh of admiration.

Mo Qi was overjoyed when he was praised by Nangong Yunshan, and then he successively made [Frozen Talisman], [Aoki Talisman], and [Fire Talisman], but none of them failed.

Nangong Yunshan couldn't help but nod her head, and said: "Sure enough, it is a famous teacher who produces a high apprentice, and this talisman making division can be regarded as a successor." Meng Yunsheng took advantage of Nangong Yunshan's happiness and said: "Miss, Mao Qi's skills are overwhelming, I think this name belongs to him." ”

Nangong Yunshan picked up the roster, looked at it, pointed to the last name and asked, "Isn't there another disciple named Xin Yan, it's not too late to award the award after he finishes the competition!"

"The eldest lady is really attentive. Gao Mazi saw Nangong Yunshan mention Xin Yan's name, pretended to sigh, and said, "It's just that this person has disappeared recently for no reason, and I don't know if he has defected to another sect." ”

When Xin Yan heard Nangong Yunshan call her name, her whole body was already boiling with blood and she was excited. When he heard Gao Mazi arranging himself like this, he couldn't help but be furious, he stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "The disciple is here, and he has not defected!"

Xin Yan's sudden appearance surprised everyone. Moltke was even more shocked. Xin Yan was obviously beaten by them that day, and was thrown off the cliff, and it stands to reason that he has been dead and lifeless. But Xin Yan not only did not die, but also appeared alive at the scene of the Leaping Dragon Gate competition, not at all like he had been seriously injured.

Seeing Xin Yan's sudden appearance, Gao Mazi also kicked in his heart, but his face did not change, he took three steps and two steps, walked in front of Xin Yan, and said in a low voice: "The eldest lady hates people to falsely accuse the same door the most, if you have no basis and talk nonsense, you will anger the hall master, and no one can save you." ”

"The disciple can save it. Xin Yan was furious in his heart, but his face was silent.

Gao Mazi whispered a warning to Xin Yan, but at the same time pretended to be very affectionate, grabbed Xin Yan's hand, brought it to Nangong Yunshan, and said: "This kid hasn't shown up for many days, and we can't find anyone everywhere, so we thought he was missing." Hurry up, let the eldest lady see what you are capable of. ”

"You...... Is it Xin Yan?" Nangong Yunshan glanced at Xin Yan, a hint of discoloration appeared on her face, she always felt that there was a trace of familiarity on this miscellaneous disciple, but she couldn't remember for a while, where she had seen him.

You must know that when she rescued Xin Yan from the snow, Xin Yan was just a thirteen-year-old boy, but at this time, she had grown into a handsome young man, and her appearance had changed greatly, where could she still recognize her.

"Disciple Xin Yan, I've seen the eldest lady. Xin Yan's heart was beating wildly, but his face seemed very calm.

"Could it be him?" Nangong Yunshan's heart suddenly moved. She glanced at Xin Yan carefully, only to feel that although the young man's face in front of her was far from the young man back then, the stubborn and unyielding look in his eyes was vaguely similar to the young man she had saved in the snow back then. She originally wanted to ask Xin Yan, but in this public, she didn't want to ask too much. She nodded and asked softly, "You...... Where are you hiding these days?"

Xin Yan was greatly moved when she saw that Nangong Yunshan cared so much about her, and replied, "Disciple...... Everything was ok......

At this moment, there was a hint of impatience in Meng Yunsheng's eyes on the side, he grabbed the conversation and asked Xin Yan coldly: "Hmph, senior sister is asking you, where have you been hiding recently?" It turned out that he was pursuing Nangong Yunshan hard, but Nangong Yunshan never pretended to him, and now he couldn't help but be jealous when he saw that Nangong Yunshan cared so much about a miscellaneous disciple.

Xin Yan turned his head, glanced at the domineering Meng Yunsheng, and chuckled: "The reason why the disciple is hiding is all because of Senior Brother Moltke......

As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar.

"You! don't want to ...... Blood spews out of people!" Mao Qi shouted sharply, for fear that Xin Yan would tell him about his evil deeds.

Mao Liu also knelt down in front of Nangong Yunshan, pointed to the heavens and said: "Uncle Mingjian, my son and Xin Yan had no grievances in the past, and there was no enmity in the near future, how could I harm him." ”

Meng Yunsheng glared at the two of them fiercely, and scolded secretly in his heart: "Both of them are pigs' heads, and they haven't finished speaking, you are so nervous, isn't this a self-confession?"

However, Meng Yunsheng hated and hated, but he couldn't help but die, because their Meng family and the Mao family have been good for generations, and he himself has a relationship with Mao Liu's generation, and he is still a cousin. What's more, although Mao Liu's father and son are not promising, the Mao family is quite powerful in the faction, and the first sword cultivator Mao Sen among the new generation of disciples is Mao Qi's uncle and cousin. Meng Yunsheng has always been ambitious, and he is full of energy to compete for the position of the new generation of head disciples. If he wants to realize his ambitions, the Mao family is indispensable.

He pondered slightly, then pointed to Xin Yan's nose and asked, "Since you said that Moltke wanted to harm you, do you have any evidence?"

Xin Yan looked at the ugliness of Meng Yunsheng and Mao Liu's father and son, and his heart was happy, and he laughed and said: "Miss Qiyu and Commander Meng, I can't tell you clearly, so that Uncle Mao and them misunderstood." My original intention was that I wanted to compete for the crown of Lingzhifu, but I was afraid that I would not be able to compete with Brother Moltke, so I found a place where no one went to retreat and do penance. ”

As soon as Xin Yan said this, Meng Yunsheng and Mao Liu's father and son immediately woke up and realized that they had been tricked. They were embarrassed and angry, eager to tear Xin Yan to pieces, but they were afraid of Nangong Yunshan's presence and did not dare to attack.

Nangong Yunshan looked at the stubborn and clever miscellaneous disciple in front of her, and felt more and more that what she expected was not bad, she smiled at Xin Yan and asked, "You...... This little ghost, since he is willing to come out, he must have the certainty of winning now, right?" She was not older than Xin Yan, but she pretended to be an elder in front of him and called him "Little Devil Head".

Xin Yannaken showed weakness in front of Nangong Yunshan, he straightened his chest and said without modesty: "Since the disciple dares to come out, he is sure of victory." ”

Nangong Yunshan was amused by him, and said, "What a big breath! Come on, let me see what skills you have learned over the years?"

"Disciple obeys!" Xin Yan picked up the talisman pen and shook it slightly, with a peculiar rhythm, where the tip of the pen passed, there was a cold ice edge, and in a short time, there was a crystal shining ice flower on the rune paper, which was submerged in the rune paper.

"Okay, this is the [Frozen Charm]!. Nangong Yunshan couldn't help but praise it, she had seen many Fu Gong disciples draw talismans, and it was the first time she had seen it with such a smooth and comfortable drawing technique.

Before Nangong Yunshan's words fell, the magic trick in Xin Yan's hand changed again, only to see the golden mangs surging between the swings of his pen tip, and in an instant, several golden rays of energy came out through the pen, with awe-inspiring killing intent, submerged into the rune paper, the Dao golden mangs crisscrossed in the rune paper, flashing a flash of golden fire from time to time, and finally formed a sharp rune sword.

Nangong Yunshan nodded and said, "Well, yes, the sharp gold breath is pure, the killing intent is condensed, and it is indeed a top-grade [Ruijin Fu]! ”

"The disciple will also [Aoki Fu]!" Xin Yan took a deep breath, lifted the talisman pen, and put it on his chest, suddenly the tip of his pen shook, and it danced quickly on the rune paper, and the green light staggered and crisscrossed on the rune paper, outlining an incomparably complex pattern, which was dazzling. After a while, there was an extra green bud on the rune paper.

Nangong Yunshan didn't realize that Xin Yan's [Aoki Fu] was also painted so well, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Okay! Her voice was not high, but it was infectious.

Xin Yan was agitated by Nangong Yunshan, his heart was agitated, and as soon as his hand moved, the magic trick had been formed, and soon, a flame that looked extremely weak came out from the tip of his pen and slowly rotated. Xin Yan carefully cared for this flame as if she were holding a baby in her arms.

Nangong Yunshan stared at this flame that was so weak that it could be extinguished by a random gust of wind, and there was a glimmer of expectation in her eyes.

I don't know why, Xin Yan felt that her heart was extraordinarily peaceful, her state was surprisingly good, and the magic trick also made her far more flexible than usual.

Xin Yan's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of enlightenment, his body shook like chaff, and the tip of the pen trembled violently, and suddenly his talisman pen moved forward, and the wisp of flame suddenly exploded, turning into a shocking flame, and disappeared into the rune paper.

"[Red Flame Talisman]!"

Everyone's eyes widened, and no one thought that Xin Yan would still have this hand. [Red Flame Talisman] and [Flame Talisman] are both fire attribute talismans, but they are of higher quality and more powerful.

Nangong Yunshan's eyes flashed with excitement, and she exclaimed loudly: "Okay! I actually comprehended the method of making the [Red Flame Talisman] in the competition field! However, do you know any other talismans?"

Xin Yan didn't have much confidence in drawing the [Earth Thorn Talisman], but Nangong Yunshan's words seemed to have a magical power, and he agreed without even thinking about it: "The disciple still wants to try the [Earth Thorn Talisman]!"

He was chanting an obscure incantation in his mouth, his body was writhing wildly with the penmanship, and suddenly his talisman pen slammed into the rune paper, only to see that the rune paper shook slightly, and the thorns on the ground surged out like waves, and then calmed down......

Nangong Yunshan smiled and said to Xin Yan: "You didn't talk big, but you really have some ability!" She has now confirmed that Xin Yan in front of her is the young man she saved back then. She took a closer look at Xin Yan's identity jade plate just now, whether it was her age or entry time, it was completely consistent with the teenager she rescued back then.

Xin Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss! If it weren't for the Miss's empowerment method on the disciple, how would the disciple be able to comprehend the [Red Flame Talisman] and the [Earth Thorn Talisman]. ”

Nangong Yunshan said with a smile: "Although I have a helping hand for you, if it weren't for your solid foundation and extraordinary understanding, you wouldn't be able to comprehend it." As she spoke, she took the jade plate handed by Meng Yunsheng and engraved Xin Yan's name in the jade plate with her own hands.

Nangong Yunshan handed the jade plaque to Xin Yan and said, "Congratulations, you have won the first place in this Fish Leaping Dragon Gate Fu Gong Disciple Competition! From today on, you have officially become a new generation of Fu Gong disciples." This is your identity jade card. ”

Xin Yan took the jade medal with joy, for this jade medal, he paid countless hardships and efforts! He had imagined countless times that one day he would be able to take the jade medal from Nangong Yunshan's hands and stand on the highest podium, but when this moment really came, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
