3. Phoenix
Qicheng is built on the Yunhe Mountain Range, and the Yunhe Academy is located in the Qingxiu Land in this mountain range.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to see the whole picture of this Yunhe Mountain Range, not because this mountain is steep and cannot be climbed, but because the mountain range has a treacherous trend, crossing the border of Qi State, and there seems to be a fog barrier to obstruct it as far as the eye can see.
It is said that a master observed feng shui and set up a formation to block the demons on the other side of the mountain.
"Demons, it is said that they haven't seen it in a hundred years." The girl on the side comforted the little brother beside her and said, "We, the nobles of the high family, came here to gild, if we really want to fight, it is still the matter of those poor students, don't worry." β
"But, yes, we still have to participate in the competition." The younger brother looks seven or eight years old, with white and tender skin and big black and white eyes, which is so cute that it makes people's hearts happy. "In case you lose......"
"Bah, we are the descendants of the Huangfu family, you can show some ambition." The girl patted her little brother on the cheek.
Zhou Che explained to Erya, "This Huangfu family is also a decent nobleman, and the four noble surnames are: Nangong, Huangfu, Ouyang, and Dongfang. But there is one thing she said wrong, nobles and famous families have always been the pioneers, and now they can be in a high position because their ancestors earned it in the bloody battlefield. As soon as the gilding said, at least our Zhou family does not admit it. β
In the latter words, Zhou Che spoke loudly, like a breeze, which lifted the spirits of the students who were studying in the poor next to him.
Mo Tong rarely smiled.
"That's a good point." A man in red walked over with a folding fan, his face was somewhat similar to Mo Pupil, but his temperament was far from the same.
"Hitomi, I looked for you last night, you see, my brother's dark circles can't be covered." When the man in red saw the ink pupils, he instantly became a little more coquettish and harmonious
"You're the second girl who took care of Hitomi along the way, right?" Mo Yun twisted his orchid finger, pulled Er Ya, and stuffed a stack of silver tickets into her arms, "Our Mo family has nothing else, but there are more silver tickets." Take the flowers, you're welcome. β
Erya got the silver ticket and happily put it in her pocket, "Brother, what you said makes sense." "Who wants to live with money?
"Oh my God, I didn't expect to see Fengyu Creek here." A young girl exclaimed, just as she fainted in the arms of her companion beside her.
Fengyu Creek? Erya's hand shook and almost spilled the silver ticket.
The woman in the goose-yellow dress pushed Feng Yuxi's wheelchair to everyone, and they walked all the way, and everyone, including those who claimed to be famous and noble, automatically retreated.
Mo Tong pulled the second girl who was in a daze who almost blocked the way of the two. Erya hurriedly followed him back, and Zhou Che next to him explained softly, "He is Taifu Fengyuxi, after graduating from Yunhe Academy at the age of sixteen, the dean recommended him to join the office." Wen Neng fought against the ministers in the court, and Wu Neng went on an expedition to the outer demon domain, and in just four years, he was appointed as a Taifu by the current saint. β
Erya's gaze followed the back of the man and the woman, as if there was no fourth person present.
"Taifu has always had a little secret, it's on the blanket on his lap......" Before Zhou Che finished speaking, Er Ya said softly, "That's a phoenix." β
Feng Yuxi turned his head, and the woman beside him asked with concern, he just smiled and shook his head, his eyes continued to search the crowd.
"Did you see that? Feng Yuxi smiled at Wang Qin. The girl who had just woken up fainted again "accurately", which made her companion who was hugging her next to her roll her eyes.
Feng Yuxi looked at the blanket on her lap, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It's really a scribbled composition, and it's really a female red who can't bear to look at it directly.
But this is a gift that has accompanied her for eight years.
"This is a phoenix!" Did the girl who pointed to the miserable chicken with incomplete limbs on the blanket and the sparse top of his head also here?
If he hadn't felt her sincerity and seriousness at that moment, he would have suspected that this was a mockery in disguise.
Feng Yuxi, who was pushed to the stage by Wang Qinmu, spoke on behalf of the outstanding graduates, he cleared his throat, and waited until the audience was quiet before he began to say: "Hello everyone, the students of Yunhe Academy are now active in all walks of life, and I don't think I am the best.
But I will tell you that in this college, as long as you are dedicated to learning and take firm steps towards your goals, whether you are from a poor family or a famous family, you will have the opportunity to achieve a good future. I, Feng Yuxi, a cripple with no family background, have tried it for you.
I am here at the moment, waiting for you to become my companions, walk side by side with me, and overcome difficulties together! β
This speech was short and powerful.
It is a companion, not a follower, and this word is like a fire that ignites young hearts.
After a passage, Feng Yuxi's personality charm was unexpectedly gender-neutral for a while, which made everyone present yearn for it.
Mo Yun, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh lightly, "It's worthy of Fengyuxi." β
Erya nodded lightly, as if making a promise to herself: one day, I will stand by your side and walk side by side with you. At a certain moment, she seemed to feel Feng Yuxi's gaze through the crowd and saw herself at this moment. Then he laughed at himself in his heart, with such a king admiring him, how could he have time to see himself?
Xiao Qian slipped out of the baggage, climbed onto Erya's shoulder, and teased her cheeks, reminding her that the entrance test had begun.
"Due to the large number of students who signed up this time, 3 to 5 people form a group, and entering the secret realm to complete the task is considered to be cleared." The three of them, plus Mo Yun and Zhou Che's cousin Zhou Die, formed a group of five, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Crossing the entrance of the enchantment and coming to the secret realm, it was pitch black all around, Zhou Che wanted to light the fire fold for lighting but was pressed by Zhou Die, she whispered, "Get used to it, you can see it, ignition may cause trouble." β
A few people were gradually able to see the surroundings clearly through the beams leaking from the gaps in the leaves, and the ink pupil climbed up the branches, and after seeing the surrounding situation clearly, he came down to show the way, "There is a bright light in that direction, we can go over and have a look." β
There are ten teachers in the invigilator, and they are wailing in their hearts at the moment, it was very laborious to draw the invigilation task, and at this moment there is a Feng Yuxi pestle in place like a pillar, and I don't know if this Taifu is too idle.
Wang Qinmu next to him reminded, "Senior brother, the dean held a reception banquet in Qicheng Restaurant. β
The gentlemen who originally thought that this "overseer" was leaving quickly became more complicated at the moment. When people leave, the dean personally feasts, but they have to watch the formation here, when will they have this treatment?
Feng Yuxi closed his eyes and said softly, "You go down the mountain first." β
Wang admired the red lips and bit them white, and then slowly agreed. She is the daughter of the Wang family and is arrogant. However, following my senior brother for two years, I know too well the resoluteness in his tone. At this moment, De Feng Yuxi was obviously so close to her, close to her reach, but so far away that she seemed to be a person who could never be touched, which made her feel fear and worry, I am afraid that he already knew about it.
When Wang admire's back became farther and farther away, Feng Yuxi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the mirror image of one of the enchantment seals, and several teachers also began to get closer and observe. In fact, except for the enchantment alarm, they don't have to guard here, but if this Taifu doesn't leave, they have to pretend...... Feng Yuxi didn't know this kind of insider, he just wanted to see if that girl could be safe and sound in the enchantment.
The five of them walked and walked and could no longer see their companions, and the second girl shouted Mo Tong and Zhou Che, and they seemed to be cut off even by their voices.
It was pitch black all around, and the suppressed memories in Erya's heart began to emerge, would she just be unable to get out here?
A person, forgotten in the room, no one knows.
"Xiaoqian?"
Xiao Qian is sitting next to the second girl at the moment. I could only see Erya's mouth open, but she didn't make any sound.
"Xiaoqian?"
Not even Xiao Qian?
Erya touched her face, it was her tears.
"So you cry?" A playful voice rang out, and she came out of the darkness, with a face almost identical to herself.
"Erya, do you miss me?" The other party tilted his head, revealing his little tiger teeth.
Generous, confident, independent, and bright, she has a temperament that she can't practice even if she can't do her best.
It will definitely be liked and praised by everyone. Living in place of yourself?
When this thought appeared, Erya was even more lost.
In the past, she was the shadow of Wang Jing's admiration, but after escaping from the Wang family, could she still only be another shadow? Why does she have so much love from so many people when she is so weak, naΓ―ve, and helpless? What should she pay in exchange?
"Love is not an equivalent exchange." A gentle voice rang out. Erya looked around, as if she had returned to when she was a child, her grandfather prepared a decoction for her to replenish her body.
"I don't need you to pay it back."
What a shadow to leave my world!
Just when Er Ya was thinking like this, the girl who was still standing in front of her just now really disappeared.
"Erya, are you so ruthless?" She actually spoke to herself, Erya felt that she was about to go crazy, she stretched out her hand to pull off the girl who was hanging on her body and threw it out, the girl held her left shoulder, slowly stood up and said a little confused, "Aren't you uncomfortable?" β
Erya looked at each other and quickly understood what this meant, and her own shoulder hurt. A nameless fire came out of the bottom of my heart, what kind of monster is this?
At the same time, others are in a similar situation, they are all fighting with their other selves for wit, courage, spirit, and even fighting methods.
This is the first level of the assessment of Yunhe Academy: only those who can break the demons have the qualifications to enter Yunhe Academy.
After taking a long breath, Erya sat down cross-legged, silently reciting the scriptures in her heart, and calming the various emotions that appeared in her mind.
"It's useless," the figure whispered, "you're me, I'm you." β
stopped chanting, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him, "I know you, you have saved me many times, although you are a little paranoid, you are not a wicked person." β
The figure relaxed, and at some point conjured up a chaise longue, leaning back like this to expose half of his calves, looking at his slightly green body to have such a charming demeanor, Er Ya was a little relieved for a while.
This Erya, as we call her, Shadow, was there when she got lost. Erya's memory gradually returned, she watched Ying use her body to directly kill six black-clothed assassins, any stone, a rattan in her hands are all killing weapons, not to mention the knife in the enemy's hand, as if it was specially placed for her. Shadow's body was particularly peculiar, moving nimbly around different assassins like a snake, using their swords as his own weapons, and plunging them into their own bodies or those of his companions, spurting warm blood on his face without even blinking an eye.
This is the back of the deviation from the scheduled route to take a shower and change clothes.
As Erya said, Ying is not a wicked person, and he is definitely not a good person. Otherwise, with her ability, she can escape with everyone without bloodshed, instead of ignoring the family and friends of these people, wantonly killing and leaving no one alive. But with such a shadow, Er Ya is not at all sure that she can defeat her.
"We're not in a life-and-death relationship." Ying seemed to see through Erya's thoughts, and guided softly, "I don't even have ambition for control of your body. β
Er Ya couldn't understand why an existence like Shadow would let a cowardly and incompetent person like him be the leader.
"Don't be presumptuous, and don't think about how strong I am." Ying walked over, like a queen pampering a concubine, gently pulled up Erya's jaw and said, "Because of you, this place is as warm as spring and full of hope." Following the direction of the shadow finger, Erya looked, and the originally dim and lightless void space actually appeared like a paradise: a country road zigzag and winding into the distance, with woods and fields on both sides, small courtyards in the distance, and valleys and pools.
Ying dragged Erya to the small building, the room was not big at all from the outside. When I walked inside, I found that there were two rows of weapons neatly placed in the entrance hall, as well as various wooden dolls, on which the vital parts of the people were outlined with red pens.
"This is your world, I'm just tweaking it a little bit in there." Ying explained, "People who have peace and joy are more likely to have a strong spiritual world. β
"But if it's my world, it's just dry bones, corpses, and rivers of blood." Shadow sat down on the ground and said, "I'm tired of that world, so don't be afraid of me. β
Er Ya nodded as if she didn't understand, she recovered many memories related to the shadow, including every time she took action to protect herself, including her occasional jump out to make a mistake, and her painful memories of fighting alone.
At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, Feng Yuxi was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the motionless Er Ya through the mirror image for almost an hour, his face was expressionless, and the teachers next to him suddenly felt that their bad taste at the beginning was also a little too much.
"In fact, this test is just an initial mental test, and it will not pose a danger to the students." As soon as the words fell, the alarm sounded throughout the valley, and several mentors hurriedly gathered in front of the mirror image of the alarm to check the situation, and the girl had fallen into a half-crazy state when she was rescued, muttering, "How is it possible?" Why am I so ugly? β
A kind of rhetoric.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yuxi looked at the mirror seriously, looked at Erya again, and complained in his heart: This group of teachers has too shallow understanding of doppelgangers, and they don't know if they can teach Erya well.
Xiao Qian and Haha were next to their owners, and the two spirit pets did not transform into this scene, but maintained the posture of pets - Tai Chi pushers.
It's been pushed for an hour, "Can they still come out?" "Haha is not very patient, and a grandfather who is only half the size of his own grandfather push, but also to control the force, this is to exhaust a cat?
Why don't you dare to exert yourself?
The memory of being pressed into the soil by Xiao Qianyi's paw is still very clear, haha sighed lightly, it is not easy to be a cat.
"It's not like we can help with this, haven't you eaten?" Xiao Qian was dissatisfied with haha's slackness, soft, where there was a little bit of the aura of white tiger blood.
"Yes, yes, yes." Haha responded, while trying to increase the strength to cooperate with Xiao Qian.
In fact, Xiao Qian is not worried about Erya, because he has seen that person and has no malicious intent.
It's just that there are a few teenagers and girls left, as if they have fallen into their own magic obstacles.
Mo Tong opened his eyes and saw through the fox's eyes that his life fire was more than twice as much as before, and the state that a person would have after crippling his doppelganger. An extremely rare teenager.
Most of the masters who walk in the world don't have as many worlds to cultivate and learn as many doppelgangers, so if you choose to fight, the ratio of winning and losing is 9:1, or even lower. And the young man in front of him not only won, but also directly beat the other party to convince him.
This ink pupil is a bit interesting.
The second one to open her eyes was Zhou Die, she looked at herself as soon as she opened her eyes, showing a shallow smile, and Bai Mink was secretly proud: "The charm of the master is really excellent across races." β
The third was Mo Yun, and the Mo Tong next to him got up and walked over to support Mo Tong and said, "Are you okay?" β
Mo Yun spit out a mouthful of blood, after this battle, he would need to lie down for about half a month when he went back, and then look at his little cousin, his spirit was very good, and even the qi around his body had changed qualitatively.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why ordinary people are jealous of geniuses.
Fortunately, he is not here, although he is not a genius, but he also has the capacity to accommodate people, Mo Yun pulled the hem of Mo Tong's clothes, and said softly, "Tong Tong has grown taller again, so that he can easily lean on his shoulder." β
Mo Tong knew that it would be okay for him to break his mouth like this, so he concentrated on waiting for the second and third sisters.
The teachers didn't expect that while they were scrambling to deal with the alarm, the bell on the mountain rang.
When, with a bang,
When, two tones,
When, the power of the first three tones, began to reverberate in the valley.
One after another, twelve bells rang, and the sound was in the ears, waking up all the students on the mountain who were in the illusion.
Feeling the energy of the bell, Feng Yuxi's heart slowly let go, it turned out that there was still this hand. Since I was a child, I knew that that little girl had an easy life, but I didn't know what she would be tormented by demons.
At this moment, Erya who was sleeping in her consciousness was woken up by her own shadow holding her ear, "With such a big bell, you can still sleep." β
Erya rubbed her eyes and said with a look of grievance, "It's too easy to sleep here, the sun is just shining on your back, why don't you go out and play first?" Erya felt the world that Ying was talking about, and suddenly understood what she cherished.
To this, Ei's reply was, "Phew! Lao Tzu told you so much, did you ask you to rob my bed? "There is no elegance lying on the chaise longue, but the appearance of Ying at the moment makes Erya feel more cordial, who is it like? She couldn't think of it, but when she woke up, she touched the PP that she felt was already red and swollen, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Everyone saw that Erya finally woke up, and Xiao Qian, who was still pushing his hand just now, instantly withdrew his strength and slipped onto Erya's shoulder, "You finally woke up, I'm worried about death." β
The haha next to him threw himself on the ground, looked up at Xiao Qian's shameless appearance, and couldn't help but sigh: It's still too young to cultivate such a thick skin.
However, under the threat of force, it did not dare to say anything, and its heart was aggrieved.
Mo Tong also stepped forward to check Erya's situation, and saw that she seemed to be fine, as if she was still full of energy, so she put her mind at ease. Mo Yun, who was resting on the side, observed, but it was strange, it was rare to see people like her after experiencing the heart magic realm: her strength did not grow, her body was not lost, and her spirit was still great?
Unless...... Mo Yun shook his head, unwilling to be overly suspicious.
Zhou Che straightened up, beckoned to Erya, and said a little weakly, "Little sister, you finally woke up." β
Everyone was sucked out of the teleportation array by the huge force and moved to the flat ground of the valley, and there were only six of the ten teachers left, and they arranged for the students to come forward to register in an orderly manner. The rest are responsible for sending the unqualified students down the mountain.
There were only more than 30 students standing on the platform at the moment.
"Congratulations, you are about to become the ...... of Yunhe Academy" The voice did not fall.
More than two dozen black-clothed people rushed towards them with swords, and one of them took Feng Yuxi straight with a sword, and he was about to obtain the head of Taifu, and the tip of the sword stopped at a distance of two fingers from the skin, and it was difficult to enter half an inch. The silk thread in Feng Yuxi's hand glowed with blue flames, directly sinking into the person's skin.
A terrible scream resounded through the valley, and when the others saw this situation, they hurriedly said to everyone: "We only want Feng Yuxi's life." β
The teachers are protecting the students who have just been selected, and in time, there may be a second or third Feng Yuxi among them, but at this moment, if they stand by and watch, these dozens of people may murder the imperial master in front of them.
Erya was in a hurry, but the strongest combat power she could use, after thinking about it, she shouted into her space: "Shadow, come out and help." β
Ying just leisurely swept the bed that had just been occupied by Erya with a feather fan, then adjusted his posture and lay on his stomach, turned over, supported his head with his hands, and said softly, "Little girl, don't think that we have a good relationship, you will come to me if you have anything to do." Now my sister wants to sleep in the beauty sleep, you can watch this thing happen. β
Er Ya is a spirit, and he was kicked out by the shadow like this?
