Nine years is like a flash.

The rivers and lakes rise from the occasional wind to the rolling waves. But the white horse passed through the gap. Many sects were annihilated under the waves. There are also many new sects that have risen.

In recent years, the True Martial Sword Sect, which has been in the limelight, has become a fragrant bait. Since the first Jianghu disciple competition, the True Martial Sword Sect set up a dojo. The other factions sensed the sweetness. Even if you can't get the black jade card, you can still find other factions to cooperate in research. This big thing is a sure way to make a profit. The fame of the rivers and lakes is there, and the local economy is there. You can also take the opportunity to exchange some cultivation experience and resources with famous factions.

This year, it was the turn of Haoran Academy to host the big competition. This power, located in Linhai County, Shenzhou, was also in the name of the emperor's relatives.

Unlike other forces. This sect is named after the academy, and it is also a place where there are many chic and handsome talents. At that time, in the rivers and lakes, I didn't look down on bookish literati. I felt that they would either serve the ministers or be disease-free. It was not until a later generation of literary heroes Mubai, with the support of the right capital Yushi and the lord of Chengkang, that this academy was opened. Only then did all factions in the rivers and lakes truly realize that literati and scholars are not necessarily useless.

The most important feature of this school of practice is that everything that can be used by literati can be used as the basis for cultivation. Dacheng has Haoran righteousness, and Xiaocheng has pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to fight the enemy. Although it is a small minority, it is also self-contained.

There is still half a month left before this big competition. The streets and alleys of Linhai County are usually prosperous. Nowadays, there is an endless stream of pedestrians and knights.

In front of a small stall, two young knights stood. Looking at the dress should be a casual practice of walking the rivers and lakes. Behind the stall sat an old man with a pale face. Look at the pile of broken bricks and tiles on the stalls...... Some items are even covered with sludge. The old man was leaning on a large bamboo basket.

The tall and sturdy young man took out a piece of black stone from the pile of mud and asked the short boy beside him.

"Hey! I said, brother, why do I think this is a bit similar to the legendary Immortal Cultivation Relic? ”

The short boy blushed shyly, "Uh...... You're louder......"

"Oh." The stout young man cleared his throat and shouted angrily. "Hey! I said, brother, why do I think this is a bit similar to the legendary immortal relic? ”

The short man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. Gently patting the tall man's arm, the two of them dropped the stone chips and left.

When the two entered the alley, the short man muttered, "Hey, this trick doesn't work." Maybe because the formation engraving has been more proficient recently, we have a little more to shoot. Now when I see something like this on the street, ordinary passers-by don't believe it. ”

The tall man couldn't help but scratch his head, "It's up to Senior Sister Fei." ”

The two wandered around the streets for a while, and then walked back to the small tea stall near the stall. One of them ordered a bowl of tea and sat there looking at the sick old man's stall.

The old man looked at the two Hanhan and glanced at them. I had to start selling miserably.

"All the chivalrous men who have passed by, take a look, take a look. The treasures buried in the soil by the Jianghu people will be exchanged for a pair of soup and medicine money. ”

It may have been that the stone fragment was pinched off by the tall man just now. Someone will finally stop in front of the stall. A handsome scholar. Weak crown white face, long shirt. Behind him was a cloth bag, which seemed to be a sword box and a piano case.

The scholar picked up the stone and looked at it. Shake your head gently. He bowed slightly to the old man: "Uncle, this stone piece is not jade, and it is not worth the money for soup medicine." You...... You can't carve your own array, do you? Disciple of Haoran Academy under it. Don't Tiger Me! ”

The old man glanced at the scholar.

"It's not. To buy or not to buy? I'm going to vomit blood from a sick place, where do I get the strength to carve something? Don't say you're a student of Haoran College. It's the king of heaven, and it's over when you buy things and give money. Don't buy it, don't ask. ”

The scholar was stunned. “……”

Well, your breath is far from vomiting blood, right?

I had to bow awkwardly and ask for the price. For 50 taels of silver, he bought a stone chip. The money for the decoction is so expensive, it's almost enough to bring the dead back to life. (joke)

The old man was afraid that the scholar would regret it. took the money, and ignored the broken bricks and tiles on the ground. Disappear directly into the crowd.

The scholar shook his head at the old man's back again. I still scolded in my heart, "I'm afraid that my predecessors have some difficulties, right? This technique of engraving the formation, if you get a famous faction, it is enough to give a foreign job to worship. What are you worried about?'

The handsome scholar pinched the stone chip and grinned.

"My husband is very fast. I'm afraid you'll regret having too little money. Hahaha. ”

The tall young man sat at the tea stall, a little angry. Stared at the scholar and clenched his fists. It's like trying to find a difference.

The tea stall is not far from the scholar, and the scholar has kung fu. After perceiving the gaze, he frowned slightly. Short boys are afraid of too much trouble. A tall man was kicked under the table.

Hi! It doesn't matter if you kick it. The tall man thought it was a hands-on signal. Whooshed up, and the breath in his body was a tiger roaring and a dragon groan.

The scholar's body was also surrounded by inky smoke.

The short man was barely jerked up by the tall man and fell off the bench where the two were sitting. Hurriedly grabbed the wrist of the strong and tall man, and shouted, "Hey, senior brother! Don't make trouble. ”

Only then did the tall and strong young man regain his strength. He was pulled by a short man and walked into the crowd and disappeared.

The scholar looked gloomy. glanced in the direction the two were walking. I also received the exercises. I wondered: "Yohe, today is an insight! Recently, Dabi is imminent, and sure enough, the dragon is crouching. Casually meet two masters on the street! No wonder Master said that the rivers and lakes are the most taboo to look at with only one eye, and it is difficult to recognize the Taoist Weng with both eyes."

The scholar took the stone shard into his arms as he walked. The long box behind him trembled. There was a sound like a wind horn striking an iron inside. Hurriedly tapped with one hand, and shot a stream of inky finger wind into it. Walk briskly towards the academy.

In the private room of the restaurant called "Chun Shen Hua Ting", the green-faced old man, the tall young man, and the short young man sit opposite each other. Full of wine and food, the three of them don't care about their image. Holding your stomach and reminiscing about what you just ate? These three people are He Xing, who entered the WTO to practice, Yu Shang, and Yan Jinggang.

The old man (feathered clothes) said while hiccups:

"Senior brothers, you are always watching and eating and drinking, I am a little homesick."

The tall young man (Yan Jinggang) smiled a little embarrassedly, "Don't be homesick." Soon I went back after the big competition. I don't even want to go back to Zhenwu, and I'm even happier when I enter the world. ”

The short boy (He Xing) spoke: "Sister Fei, have you two discovered anything?" ”

The two looked at He Xing and waited for the following.

"Recently, there have been so many brands on the rivers and lakes that we have made. But it seems that they have all been taken in by the big faction. He Xing said.

Philip and Yan Jinggang looked at He Xing like fools. Yan Jinggang even asked: "Senior brother, aren't you stupid?" How can you say that this brand is also a treasure, right? It's no wonder that no one collects it. ”

He Xing shook his head. "No, it's not that no one knows the real and the fake. It's easy to tell from the material alone. But what do you think of the scholar today? I knew that the material was wrong, but I still accepted it. I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it. ”

Yu Sheng had an idea, and stroked his beard decently. "The old man has a brilliant plan. You can not only inquire about the matter of this competition, but also look at the reason why this scholar accepted the brand. ”

Seeing He Xing and Yan Jinggang staring at him, he leaned over the table with satisfaction and whispered, "Let's go there tomorrow to set up a stall." If I'm not mistaken, that scholar today will pass by every day when he goes to the academy. Regardless of whether he recognizes the authenticity of the brand or not, tomorrow he will pretend to tell him that the brand is made. See how he ......"

Yan Jinggang felt that it made sense, and answered:

"Yes, if he asks you to lose money, I will beat him. If he looks for you to buy it again, he will bring him and my brother and sister. Let's sneak into Haoran Academy to cheat and eat and drink! ”

He Xing gave Yan Jinggang a ringing chestnut.

"Nonsense?! What does it mean to cheat on eating and drinking? Let's call it living by ability. ”

Philip also laughed, feeling that He Xing was becoming more and more like the old man of Xiang Jisheng. I didn't feel that the three of them were embarrassing the True Martial Sword Sect at all. It's a big deal not to admit that he is a subordinate of the Sword Sect.

The next day, the sun was three poles.

The three of them reappeared at the tea stall on the side of the street as planned. Yan Jinggang and He Xing were still sitting in the tea stall, drinking tea and eating refreshments. Just wait for the white-faced scholar to take the bait.

Waited left and right, and finally the scholar came. I also brought a middle-aged man dressed as a teaching gentleman. And this gentleman is none other than Yin Yu, the deputy mountain master of the outer courtyard of Haoran Academy. (See one of the representatives of the various factions of the Idle King Autumn Hunt)

In order to plan something more like that, Yu Shang also paid for some small shipments out of his own pocket. Seeing Yin Yu following the scholar. I didn't have time to pack up my belongings, so I turned around and wanted to slip away. He Xing and Yan Jinggang buried their heads in the tea bowl.

The scholar saw the old man setting up a stall here again, and he was happy for a while, and directly introduced to Yin Yu:

"Master, it's this old man who sold me the stone chips! I'm afraid he won't dare to come today. ”

Yin Yu looked at it fixedly, huh? Look again, huh!? Immediately after stroking his beard and laughing, there was a thunderous sound:

"Hahaha, little friend! A few of you have turned this game around. Hahaha! ”

took a step forward, and the frightened feather clothes almost showed the prototype.

Fortunately, it's just a gift from the rivers and lakes. Holding hands, he said:

"Little Friend Master Guiyun Dao Zun can be nearby? Since you came to Linhai County, you must also participate in the big competition, right? The person who came is a guest, Qin Feng is the peer who has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that the teacher told you! ”

This scholar named Qin Feng looked dazed, looking at his uncle and not knowing why. It's not right to bow, and it's disrespectful to hug your hands. I had to learn the hand salute of the True Martial Sword Sect, put one hand on my chest vertically, and said embarrassedly: "I've seen it...... Avocado! ”

He Xing and Yan Jing just saw that they didn't want to embarrass them, and they both stepped forward. and Yushang gave a junior salute to Yin Yuqi. Honorific:

"Zhenwu Sect under He Xing, Yan Jinggang, Yu Shang, I have seen Yin Yu's predecessors."

After saying that, Yu Sheng collected the witchcraft. Turned back into a handsome girl. Bow again.

Because it is different from other spirits. Now it is even more out of the world. The golden hairpin on the head is obliquely drawn, and Daisi is coiled into a double-ring high bun. The face is like a new peach, shy and dressed in a light green fairy feather coat. A magnolia ribbon around the waist. Foot on white cotton socks, light green boots.

For a while, the noise on the streets stopped. The vendors were guilty of their sins, and they bowed their heads and did not dare to look at them directly. A group of pedestrians lamented that they did not have the foundation of cultivating immortals.

Even more straightened Qin Feng's eyes.

Yan Jinggang sneered lightly. "I don't know."

He Xing shook his head secretly. "This Qin Feng is ruined."

Yin Yu turned around and saw that his lover had lost his mind, and he hurriedly lifted it to his chest, "Feng'er!" ”

Qin Feng's face was slightly pale, and in one breath, the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood. Only then did he panic and apologize to Yushang:

"Senior sister forgiving the kid for his lack of concentration, it's not blasphemy!"

Yu Sheng also hurriedly apologized: "Yin Yu's predecessors are not strange, the family teacher's inheritance of demon magic has its own effect of ecstasy. Plus the disciple demon spirit is special, and the illusion is illusory. Mortals are incomprehensible, and high-ranking people are unharmed. Afraid of being rude to the elder, this is the illusion of the true form. The disciple's Taoism is shallow, and he can't be free......"

Yin Yu felt a pity in his heart, Qin Fengdao was afraid that there was a crack. But it's no wonder that no one else.

Yan Jinggang felt that this guy deserved it, and he didn't dare to stare at it when the feather clothes were transformed.

He Xing felt a little pity for this Qin Feng. Cultivation is not easy. If the Dao heart is really damaged, the way forward stops at the present. I had to mention that next to the sword washing pond, I sat and watched the crane peak flying, which has the effect of stabilizing the Dao heart.

Yin Yu knew about it. also sighed that the True Martial Sword Sect was demonic again, relying on the cultivation realm of the three juniors, the Dao heart, and the heart. Alas, how can Haoran Academy be compared to the True Martial Sword Sect in the future?

Yin Yu had no choice but to snort, "It's okay." Practice and cultivate the mind. Not necessarily a bad thing. By the way, Sword Venerable and Dao Venerable can come together? ”

He Xing answered: "Master and Uncle are already on the way. Because I want to lead the disciples of Dabi, I will send a few of us to settle down first. ”

Yin Yu also didn't delve into the He Xing, who was full of wild bulls. Greet a few juniors to go to the academy to settle down first, and there are important things to ask.

Several people came to Haoran Academy. The three of He Xing can also be regarded as appreciating the demeanor of other major factions.

The academy is built by the water, surrounded by peach forests. There was also a temple in Taolin in the past, and the plaque inscription: "Longhua Temple". After entering the high wall of the academy, there is a huge square. The middle of the square should be the venue of this big competition. Walk through a long corridor on the edge of the square, and behind it is a small lake. Walking across the wooden pontoon bridge on the lake, there are two rows of small buildings used to receive guests. This place is very good, standing on the small building you can watch the "lake water and blue waves, lotus pond boating". You can also enjoy the "forest shadow peach blossoms, ancient temple bells".

He Xing still has the heart to enjoy the scenery. Yan Jinggang nervously asked Yu Shang: "Senior sister, you said that if they lock us up here and then don't give us food and drink, should we tear down this wall?" ”

Yu Sheng naturally knew what Yan Jinggang meant. Is Yan Jing just stupid? He's not stupid. It looks silly. When it comes to eating, he's smarter than anyone else. But if you're hungry, you may not have enough blood. There will also be brief periods of unclear mind. Like this one would...... If you don't eat at noon, you can just eat the refreshments at the tea stall, and someone will have already digested it.

Yin Yu heard Yan Jinggang muttering. I won't laugh at the greediness of the younger disciples. What he could see was that what he was practicing was a rare serious practice in the True Martial Sword Sect. At this time, the realm is not enough, and you have to store the energy in your body by eating and drinking. When the exercises are completed, the veins and points around the body are not afraid of the true qi and sharp weapons. Proper Xuanwu.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at He Xing more. From beginning to end, this little fox has not revealed the slightest detail.
