A total of thirty people were selected for the Qianlong test, and those candidates came to the front of the hall in turn, with different expressions. The examinees have different expressions, some have proud expressions, which are natural, and some are calm and unsmiling. Of course, there are also lonely ones, who seem to be not very satisfied with their results.

Although Zhao Qian deliberately lost to Ouyang Luo in the final Manchun trial, he did not have any difficulty in passing all the way in the top three trials, and finally won the top three results. He was very emotional about this, but he couldn't show it in such a place, so he could only accept it calmly.

Like him, the most of the candidates who are famous and ranked higher in the Tanhua list have entered the top three, and there are few accidents, except for one person, that is, Qingyuan of Wuwu Temple, because of the reason for registration, there are no results, but the top four places are retained.

As the red-clothed officials kept rolling names, people heard the names of the three scholars of the Mountain Cliff Academy one after another, the four people including Lu Yu of the Tianxuan Academy, the two people from the Yellow Valley, the two people from the Qingfeng Academy except for Bai Jiu and Tang Chun, and the three Daoists who came to participate in the competition from the Daomen were naturally also included.

Finally came the time for the release of the Qianlong test list, although the ranking has been arranged, but people are still waiting eagerly, looking very excited, and the discussion is gradually getting louder.

The third place in this year's Qianlong test is Mo Kai, Mo Kai can be described as a genius boy with a real reputation, and he is second only to Tianyu in the flower exploration list. If he wants to enter the list, it is naturally a matter of course. But compared to the enthusiasm for the ranking, people are still more curious about Mo Kai.

It is rumored that he grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, that he survived with wild beasts, and that he drank snow with his hair....... But when everyone saw him, they found that it was not as terrible as rumored, his hair was meticulous, his clothes were neat, his steps were polite, and even more so, his expression looked a little shy.

Mo Kai's smile was indeed very shy, but his face was unnaturally pale.

Only people like Bai Jiu who really know Mo Kai know that the shy expression on his face is real, which is his character. But the neat outfit on his body, and the steps that are not flustered at all and have perfect etiquette are all fake. It seems that Mo Kai was warmly dressed up by the people of the Heavenly Chosen Academy before he came, and told him a lot of things.

Taking over the golden belt representing the third place, Mo Kai showed a very sincere smile, facing the calls of the people, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.

Then, Tianyu came to the stone steps from the square, the young man Lang'er was dressed in a brand-new robe, the hairpin on his head was meticulous, his expression was calm and calm, and he let the big man who didn't know his name put on a jade belt around him, politely thanked him, and then retreated to the side, only after hearing the applause and cheers of the people, he smiled.

The next moment, the square suddenly became unusually quiet, and the wheezing of those people and the friction of clothes were a little harsh at this time.

A teenager walked slowly down the avenue to the stone steps.

Countless eyes fell on him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man walked forward in silence, and his etiquette was as simple as the previous few people, without the slightest pickiness, without nervousness, nor restraint, and his pace was very steady. The uniform of Qingfeng Temple swayed gently in the wind, and there was not the slightest color to be seen, like a warm spring breeze, just like the feeling he gave people.

"Is this Bai Jiu?"

In the crowd in the square, there were many voices of discussion and inquiry.

Bai Jiu's name is very loud in Yong'an City, many people know this name, and more people remember that he is the first in the academy examination of Qingfeng Academy, and he is also the first in the literary examination, and many people today are seeing him for the first time, it turns out that this is Bai Jiu.

Compared with Lu Yugongzi, who has already been famous in Yong'an City, Bai Jiu does not feel so personable, let alone the grandeur of everyone's son, but it gives people a very cordial feeling, the appearance of a young scholar, like a warm spring breeze.

Bai Jiu walked up the stone steps and turned to look at the countless people in the square.

At this moment, the crowd quieted down, and from then on, Bai Jiu was no longer mysterious, and his name really appeared in the world.

..........

Outside Xicheng, the young monk bowed his head and explained something to his young junior brother.

For some reason, Qingyuan of Wuwu Temple did not have any results in the Qianlong test, but his ranking retained the top four, which means that he didn't have to participate when the list was released, but when the Dayu Treasure House was opened, he still had to go.

Wuwu Temple has arrived thousands of miles away this time, and the Dayu Treasure House is just one of them, and the most important thing is to figure out some problems.

And this problem, in the early morning of the last day of the Qianlong test, has gradually become clear.

Like Tianyu, after Qingyuan left the city, the senior brother's request for him to close his mouth meditation had already ended, and without waiting for the senior brother to ask, Qingyuan told the senior brother everything he had seen and heard along the way, and what he said was that he had doubts about this hidden dragon test.

Mingshan listened to all these words carefully, and then said with a smile: "I think there is a reason for coming." ”

Qingyuan quickly thought about what details he had missed, and finally found that there was nothing, so he said seriously: "That's all, senior brother." ”

The morning sun is thick, but it has fallen into the forest but has been shattered. The branches of the tree are intertwined back and forth, and they fall into the human face like unnatural spots.

Mingshan was bathed in the sun, and the whole person's body was also emitting a faint light at this time. This contemporary Buddha of Buddhism likes this very much. Not because it's so comfortable, it's not because it's like the Buddha's light, because it's very conducive to thinking, and because it's close to the sun, you'll stay away from the darkness.

More than ten years ago, Mingshan had a debate with Mr. Lingmen at the foot of Zhushan, a few years earlier than the one on Zhiyulu. The theme of this debate was put forward by Mingshan, which is the so-called mercy of the world.

Great love and small love, great compassion and small compassion, one person and the whole world.

If it really comes to the time when people and the world need to choose, Mingshan thinks that he has always been a person who cares about the world.

His Buddha heart has never been bruised, and it has become more and more consolidated and clear during countless years of practice. His name is Mingshan, the mountain of knowledge, the intellect is open, and the mind is like a mountain.

At that time, Mr. Big said that such a scene would never appear, and people were originally one in the world, so why should they give up and stay. If it really comes time to distinguish, and there is no such thing as a small compassion for people, how can there be great compassion for the whole world.

And now it seems that the time for this choice is really coming soon.

The fairy sword can slash the evil demons.

So where is the fairy sword riot and the sword intent slashing the sky?

A river and lake, a world, a world, a world, all of these things have begun to be written now, but at what point, Mingshan still can't know. But he knows that this matter is not about one person, but about the survival of the whole world.

...........

Bai Jiu, who returned to Seifu-in, saw a person.

The man in flower clothes from Zhushan seems to have been waiting here for a long time. Bai Jiu saw him from a distance, and he could imagine how conspicuous it was for a man in a flower dress to gently shake a fan in the Qingfeng Courtyard full of cyan uniforms.

The two returned to their room.

Bai Jiu saluted and said, "I've seen Mr. Three." ”

Hua Jin returned the salute and said, "The top of the list doesn't need to be polite." ”

The two sat down, and Bai Jiu poured tea.

Hua Jin looked at the white tea in the cup, sighed, and said, "Senior brother, let me bring a word." ”

Hua Jin is the third gentleman of Zhushan, and Bai Jiu knows this. It's just that he doesn't know whether the senior brother Hua Jin is talking about is the senior brother or the second senior brother?

Hua Jin continued: "The teacher said that he would accept the first apprentice of this Qianlong test, but he didn't say how to accept it? Didn't say what the test was? ”

Bai Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "There is still a test? ”

Hua Jin nodded very naturally, and then said, "Otherwise, do you think we invite you to go up the mountain?" ”

Bai was speechless for a long time and stopped talking.

Hua Jin continued: "When the teacher speaks, the disciple will naturally obey him. But there are too many bamboos on the mountain, and the senior brother is too busy all day to manage these things. So the rules are set by the second senior brother. ”

Speaking of this, Hua Jin glanced at Bai Jiu lightly, and his eyes unabashedly showed sympathy.

Bai Jiujue felt a little bad.

Hua Jin continued: "If you want to enter Lingmen, you have to climb Zhushan. ”

Bai Jiu was shocked and speechless, and it took a long time before he said, "Zhushan has a formation. ”

Hua Jin glanced at him like an idiot, and said lightly: "Otherwise? ”

Bai Jiu wanted to refute a few words.

Hua Jin waved his hand and said, "What the teacher said is that the hidden dragon is the first to try, and there is a chance to enter the Ling Gate. It's not that the hidden dragon is the first to try, and Lingmen is accepted as a disciple. Got it? ”

Bai Jiu nodded.

Hua Jin smiled and continued: "However, you don't have to worry, when will you break through the formation of Zhushan, and when will you be a disciple of the Ling Sect, there is no time limit during this period." If you break through now, I can call you a junior brother right now. ”

Bai Jiu rubbed his sore temples, thinking that he had seen the power of that formation, just under the mountainside, he was a little unbearable, let alone directly ascending Zhushan? He hurriedly poured another glass of white water for Hua Jin, and asked cautiously, "Do you have any skills?" ”

After hearing this, Hua Jin put down the water glass heavily, and said with a slightly angry expression: "Do you want me to help you cheat?" ”

Bai Jiu didn't see the situation right, and he didn't talk much anymore. He casually placed the sword in his hand on the table.

Hua Jin looked at the sword, reached out and picked it up, and asked, "This is the first prize in this year's Hidden Dragon Test?" ”

Bai Jiu nodded.

Huajin drew the sword, and the scabbard of the long sword was made of unknown material, but the hilt of the sword was a whole piece of cyan jade, and it was also inlaid with golden patterns.

The body of the sword reflects the sunlight and is dazzling.

Hua Jin looked at the sword, smiled, and said, "This sword cast by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court finally has a good appearance once." ”

Bai Jiu said: "If Mr. San likes it, take it." ”

Hua Jin was slightly stunned, then shook his head, put the sword back into the sheath, and said disdainfully: "What is so good about this kind of decorative sword, it is not as good as a random sword in your Qingfeng Yuan Library." ”

Bai Jiu was a little lost.

Hua Jin smiled and shook his head, he stood up and walked out of the door to leave, but before he walked out of the door, he suddenly said a sentence without a beginning or an end: "Stay with Qingshan!" ”
