Carrying the weight with difficulty, every time they raised their feet and waved their arms, it seemed that they had to use all their strength, and the young people who were old on the stone path behind the academy were like puppets carried by cotton thread. Although I couldn't see their expressions, the people who stayed in the academy seemed to be able to clearly perceive the pain they were suffering at this time.

The way to choose students on the second floor is so simple, but behind the simplicity is so magical. The image of outstanding young monks from all over the world turning into clumsy marionettes once they step on the sloping stone path is shocking. Except for the people involved, no one could guess what was going on on the mountain path, and even a big man like Divine Officer Mo Li, who had been immersed in the cultivation world for many years, did not dare to speculate until he felt it himself.

However, everyone believed that the academy could not have caused real harm to these young people. After watching these monotonous and boring pictures for a long time, it is inevitable that I feel a little boring and boring. Looking at the movement of the crowd around the stone flat of the academy, there should be no more people standing up and trying to climb the mountain behind the academy, and the big figures, including the envoys of various countries, were a little more relaxed, and began to lean left and right under the umbrella and talk to people.

The academy prepared some simple food, and the big men also brought their own servant girls, and for a while, a lot of tea and soup snacks were placed on the table, which helped the conversation a little more.

The main objects of the chats between the envoys of various countries are none other than His Royal Highness Li Peiyan and Princess Li Yu, as well as Mo Li, the vice president of the Heavenly Oracle Academy. For the Tang Empire and the Xiling Temple, which no force in the world dares to take a chance, these surrounding countries have always been extremely gentle and submissive, and as for which side to submit to, it is not the focus of their consideration at all, because this kind of submission must be two-sided, at least for now.

In addition to having a good relationship with the Tang Empire and the Xiling Temple, the really important reason why the envoys of various countries came to the academy today is to see what young talents are left behind in their own country, if someone in their country can be lucky enough to enter the second floor, of course they have to make good friends, even if no one can enter the second floor, but as long as they do have the talent for cultivation, they must also pay attention to their respective imperial courts.

The envoy from the Great River Country, who was chatting with a certain deacon of the Xiling Temple beside him, was dancing with his eyebrows, perfectly hiding his humility between laughter and exquisite sycophants, and suddenly looked at the earth dragon that came with dust in the distance, and his face couldn't help but change suddenly, Huo Ran stood up, looked at the place and said in a trembling voice: "What's the matter?"

The so-called earth dragon is actually four college deacons carrying stretchers, because the speed is too fast, the boots under their feet step through the grass, kicking the loess, so there will be this smoke and dust, flying dragon walking on the ground, just look at the four college deacons, carrying stretchers from the mountains from afar, it does not take a moment to arrive at the front lawn, and they are not panting or blushing, looking extremely calm, it can be seen that they should have done this thing all these years.

The envoy of the Great River Kingdom covered his forehead, looked at the unconscious young Great River Country cultivator on the stretcher in disbelief, and sighed repeatedly, he never thought that in today's trial on the second floor of the academy, the first to lose was actually the people of his own country.

Confirm the defeat but don't know how it was defeated, this is the real reason for the depression, the envoy walked to the stretcher, annoyed and asked: "How did the mountaineering make everyone faint?"

A college deacon beside the stretcher replied with a blank face: "In the academy, coma is a very common thing, and you will vomit blood when you climb the building, let alone climb the mountain. ”

"Excuse me. The deacon of the academy unceremoniously pushed away the envoy of the Great River Kingdom, carried the stretcher, and continued to run towards the rear of the academy, carrying a yellow earth dragon with him, leaving a few unclear complaints.

"Let's boil water. ”

Four college deacons returned on stretchers carrying the second climber, and the college instructors waited with ginger soup medicine.

"Jean, there must be a lot of boiling water today, don't get in the way!"

The college deacon returned again, carrying the handle of the stretcher. Their shouts and cheers are definitely more colorful than the avoidance and shouting of Datang officials when they travel.

Seeing this scene and remembering the many scenes last year, Zhu Youxian couldn't help but glance back at Ning Que.

Ning Que looked at the four deacons running back and forth between the back mountain and the front lawn, and opened his mouth slightly. This picture is very familiar to him, and even a little warm, but the experience when he climbed the stairs last year was after all a pain that he had experienced for many years, which directly made his fingers tremble, and there was a feeling of nausea and nausea in his chest and abdomen.

His face turned slightly pale, and he sighed bitterly: "It's still the four of you." ”

In the unobscured area of the mountain behind the academy, the young cultivators on the stone path walked more and more slowly, and from time to time someone fell to the ground in agony, and then was quickly carried away. Xie Chengyun walked in the middle section, although it was difficult but still persevering, and the young monk from the Yuelun Country seemed relatively relaxed, his tattered monk's robe swayed with the mountain wind, walking at the forefront of the mountaineering team, looking east and west from time to time, not like looking at the scenery, more like looking for a way out.

Prince Longqing put his hands behind his back, climbed the mountain to see the scenery all the way, and constantly surpassed the climbers in front of him. There was no pride or contempt on his face, just a calm mind, no matter how many people there were or the unconscious young cultivators who saw the mountain path. Even when he overtook the young monk, he didn't look at the other person with his spare eyes.

At the end of the trail was a thick mist. Baidu will welcome you to the night bar

The people who remained in the academy were silent, looking at the sloping mountain path in the distance, puzzled and shocked by the magic of that mountain path, wondering what kind of prohibition had been set by the academy there, which could make it so difficult and painful for these outstanding young cultivators from all over the world. Ning Que, who was standing in the corner, was also thinking and analyzing, but the focus of his concern was not the mountain road, but the dense fog at the end of the mountain road.

The prince of Longqing has already arrived in front of the fog, so if he wants to climb the mountain later, the minimum goal must also be in the clouds, in this case, no matter what difficulties and difficulties the sloped mountain path has, it has nothing to do with him, he must walk over.

Before coming to the dense fog that filled the mountainside, Prince Longqing did not hesitate and walked in as usual. A moment later, the young monk of the Moon Wheel Country, who looked east and west, and looked extremely curious, also came to the fog. Looking at the clouds and mist in front of him, who didn't know how many thousands of years old trees and mountain souls were hidden, the young monk who had been showing some nonchalance before, had an unprecedented solemn expression on his face, quietly looked at the fog, and did not take a step for a long time.

Prince Longqing disappeared into the mountain mist, and for a long time after that, no second person was able to walk the stone path under the mountainside and walk into the fog.

Half of the climbers who wanted to enter the second floor of the academy had already been carried back by the four deacons, leaving only Xie Chengyun and a few others Liao Liao still climbing the lower part of the mountain trail with difficulty, as for the young monk of the Yuelun Kingdom who had shown a good realm and was pinned on by some people, he seemed to have encountered some kind of problem and stood on the edge of the mist and hesitated.

Looking at the current situation, the people watching the mountaineering in the academy already had a judgment in their hearts, no one could defeat the Prince of Longqing, although this was expected by many people in advance, but seeing this scene happening, seeing that the Prince of Longqing far surpassed the strength of his peers, everyone was still a little shocked and speechless.

"Xiling Temple is indeed worthy of being the place of worship of the ancestors of the Ten Thousand Sects of Cultivation, and the Heavenly Oracle Academy is worthy of being a wonderful realm of metaphysics in the world.

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom looked at their prince and were proud of everyone, and they were already extremely proud, but they did not forget to turn their bodies halfway and praise everyone in the Xiling Temple.

Mo Li stroked his beard slightly, his expression was unusually calm, only the luster in the depths of his eyes revealed his pride and joy at this time, and said indifferently. Longqing is gifted with talent, and there is Haotian Shenhui Grace Temple to give him the important task of adjudication, although the academy is also a noble and wonderful place, but it is not enough to boast about climbing a mountain behind the academy. ”

What he said was not enough to boast, but everyone knew that this sentence was boasting, and the envoys of the Yan State hurriedly said a few more words, and then turned their heads to look at the Tang officials, smiled, and said indifferently: "Speaking of which, the famous generals and virtuous ministers of the Tang Empire are gathered, but it is a pity that there are no outstanding characters in this year's academy." ”

In the minds of the Yan people, the Tang Empire is undoubtedly a brutal beast, they have never had the slightest good impression of the Tang people, and today it is rare to encounter such an opportunity to hit the other party's ambition and self-confidence, so they will naturally not miss it.

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom did not dare to provoke the prince or princess of the Tang Dynasty in person, and did not say this sentence loudly, but they did not deliberately control the volume, and the faint mockery drifted over with the faint and ruthless words.

Under the large parasol of the Ming and Huang cloud eaves, the faces of the Datang officials were extremely ugly, five of the six students of the academy had already been defeated and left the mountain road, and the only Xie Chengyun who continued to climb was still a Southern Jin Dynasty, and even this Southern Jin Dynasty student would never seem to be the opponent of the prince of Longqing, so the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty was actually defeated in today's two-story mountaineering test!

Prince Li Peiyan's expression was a little gloomy, he clenched his sleeves tightly, and whispered expressionlessly: "I knew that this was the case, I really should have written a letter to Xu Shi and asked him to put Wang Jingluo back, at least the empire's face would not be so clean." ”

Li Yu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him lightly, and said with a slight mockery: "Uncle, Wang Jingluo was sent to the command of the general of Zhenguo, isn't it because of you?"

Li Peiyan glanced at her, his expression was a little ugly, and after a moment of silence, he frowned and said, "Why mention this matter again." Speaking of which, although Jing Luo claims to be invincible below knowing his fate, Long Qing has already stepped into the realm of knowing his fate with one foot, and even if he comes back, he may not be this person's opponent. ”

"Is it not as good as Longqing, or don't you want him to be like Longqing?" Li Yu curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a sneer: "Uncle, you are here in person today, isn't it just to see the prince of Longqing enter the second floor...... Are you relieved?"

Li Peiyan replied as usual: "You must know that this is the meaning of His Majesty. ”

Li Yu was silent when he heard this.

Today, the second floor opened, and the prince of Longqing took the lead as expected, although this was an agreement between the Tang Empire and the Xiling Temple, but thinking of the words of the envoy of the Yan State before, and seeing the unfathomable and profound expression of the priest Mo Li, she was of course very unhappy as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but as discussed before, Wang Jingluo did not return, and the academy was not good, who could earn some face for the empire?

She subconsciously glanced at the silent academy students, but even she didn't know who she wanted to see, who she was looking for, and which faces of the academy students she wanted to find the last glimmer of hope and brilliance.

In the old book building in the depths of the academy, the window facing the west was pushed open at some point, and when the spring breeze and the fragrance of flowers penetrated into the building, the chubby young man also appeared by the window.

Outstanding young cultivators from all over the world had walked downstairs from the old books before, but neither Prince Longqing nor the young monk had noticed him by the window upstairs.

Chen Pipi's gaze flew over the eaves of the study above the wetland, and landed on Ning Que in the dark place in the corner of the stone floor, picked up the cold steamed bun in his hand and took a bite, and said to himself vaguely: "How long are you going to spend this time?"

On the edge of the meadow outside the academy, Sang Sang had already opened the big black umbrella, she stood in the shadows and was silent, occasionally looking up at the dazzling white sunlight that filled the blue sky to determine the time, and then quickly lowered her head and took out Chen Kum Kee's sunscreen from her arms and sprayed it on her face, and then evenly spread it with her little hands, and carefully rubbed it to the bottom of her skin.

She knew that the second floor of the academy was mountaineering, so she knew that the young master would definitely climb the mountain, since this was the case, why should she rush in vain.

"If you have to be the last to set off, and then continue to be superhuman along the way, and become the first person to climb to the top of the mountain, this prince is really pretending to be hateful to the extreme. ”

Zhu Youxian took out the exquisite pastry wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, took a piece for himself, and then handed the rest to Ning Que and let him eat.

Ning Que thought to himself that the last mountaineering was a pretentious hate, so what kind of self is it?

At this time, inside and outside the academy, the faces of the officials and students of the Tang Empire were not very good-looking, and Situ Yilan and other students of the academy were even more ashamed.

Ning Que looked at everyone's expressions, felt the atmosphere at this time, and muttered, "Otherwise...... I'll give it a try. ”

His voice was very slight, but Zhu Youxian heard it very clearly, the hand holding the pastry suddenly stiffened, stared at Ning Que's face, and exclaimed in disbelief: "What do you say? Do you want to try? Do you want to climb the mountain?"

On the quiet front lawn of the academy, the exclamation of prayer Youxian echoed endlessly, and everyone was stunned, subconsciously turning their posture and looking at the place where the sound began.

Ning Que looked at Zhu Youxian and said helplessly: "Xian, can the voice be louder?"

So Qi Youxian really jumped up, shocked and shouted, "Do you really want to climb the mountain? Do you really want to go to the second floor?"

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the academy heard and saw clearly, and countless pairs of eyes turned to the corner, looking at Ning Que, shocked and unable to speak.

Ning Que took the pastry from Zhu Youxian's hand, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Leave it for me to be dry food on the road." ”

After saying this, he walked towards the mountain behind the academy.
