After the screening, although the unsuccessful people regretted it, they could not do anything. After all, it's his own lack of strength, who can blame him?

As for wanting to make trouble, then I advise you to put away this idea as soon as possible. What is the "Sage Academy"? can be juxtaposed with the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism, how can it be a good character!

Even if the elders in your family are extremely popular ministers and worship the king, they will definitely not dare to offend the "Sage Academy" easily. This is respect, but even more afraid!

As for these people who have passed the screening, don't be too happy, this is not even the first step.

Then, the steward of the academy took the five hundred people to the south gate of Chang'an City, and the guards checked them briefly and let them go.

A group of people marched out of the city gate and rushed out of the city.

Lin Yan also followed the large army out, but he had some doubts in his heart. Although this academy is in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, it is also in the city, why is it out of the city at this time?

He inquired about the person around him, and the man stared at him like a monster, as if he had encountered something incredible, and said with his mouth wide open, "No, you don't know this?"

Although Lin Yan was a little unhappy with his appearance, he asked others for advice at this moment, so he endured it, and arched his hand: "Please ask Brother Tai for advice!"

The man was only twelve or thirteen years old, and although he was dressed in brocade clothes, he always had a feeling of being a hanger. He waved his hand and said, "My name is Li Zongsheng, and my father is Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion. I can't talk about advice, it's just strange that there are still people who don't know about it, you guess it's the first time you've come to Chang'an. ”

Lin Yan nodded and said, "I would like to hear about it."

Li Zongsheng said: "Actually, it's nothing, although this 'Sage Academy' has a special status in Chang'an City, but the capital is so big, it is impossible to allocate too many places to the academy."

"And the number of applicants for the spring and autumn examinations of the academy every year has always been high, and the space required for the assessment is not small.

"It is said that this is an overstepping move, but the status of the 'Sage Academy' is extraordinary, and when today's son respects Confucianism, he doesn't care too much about it."

After hearing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh that this academy is really generous!

In a place like Chang'an, where every inch of land is valuable, some Beijing officials may not be able to buy a courtyard house in this city even in their lifetime, but the academy bought a mountain without blinking an eye.

This person is more than human, and he really wants to be angry!

"So, the next thing we do is on the mountain?" Lin Yan continued to ask.

"It's estimated that eight or nine is not far from ten." Li Zongsheng replied.

As he spoke, the line ahead suddenly stopped. Lin Yan looked up and saw that there was indeed a mountain in front of him, and they were standing at the foot of the mountain at the moment.

This mountain is called "South Mountain", not only the name is very arbitrary, but also this mountain is neither high and towering, nor has a cliff, it is an ordinary hill, and the Xuantian Mountain where the Xuantian Sect is located thirty miles away is not at the same level at all.

But what is a little strange is that this hill is shrouded in a layer of white mist-like things, which makes it difficult for people to see its whole picture, which makes Lin Yan a little puzzled.

Among these people, there are not a few people who take the entrance examination of the academy for the first time, and when they see this hill, they can't help but look down on the academy a little, and think: This world-renowned academy is nothing more than that!

Looking at the noisy crowd, the steward of the academy became a little impatient, and as he shouted loudly, the noisy voice gradually quieted down.

Then, a green-shirted scribe walked out, who seemed to be teaching at the "Sage Academy".

He looked at these candidates and simply announced the rules: with the foot of the mountain as the boundary, in an hour's time, the first fifty candidates to climb to the top of the mountain passed, and the rest were eliminated.

After listening to this assessment condition, a group of people turned their heads to each other, and always felt that this assessment was a bit too child's play!

It's just such a hill, and it takes an hour to climb it? You should be an old man climbing a mountain!

For young talents like us, the pride of the sky, it's okay to climb up in minutes!

With this in mind, the mountain climbing competition officially began.

Due to the large number of people, the Tsing Yi Instructor divided these people into ten groups, and fifty people climbed the mountain in groups, and the people in front walked behind, and then the people behind followed.

Lin Yan was assigned to the last group, and it happened that Li Zongsheng was also in this group. By the time it was their turn, the people in front of them had already run away.

"Brother Lin Yan, hurry up, we have to catch up!" Li Zongsheng urged, speeding up his pace as he spoke, and began to catch up.

And Lin Yan felt unsteady in his heart, especially the increasingly thick white mist around him, which made him feel very uneasy.

As they walked, they suddenly found that the people around them were gradually gone, and in an instant, he and Li Zongsheng were left.

Apparently, the latter also found out about this situation, and said with some panic: "Oh my God! Is this a trick? How did so many people disappear all at once! ”

At this time, Qiu Lao's voice sounded in Lin Yan's mind: "Boy, this white mist is a formation."

When Lin Yan heard this, he said in his heart that it was not surprising, he had vaguely felt it before, and what Qiu Lao said at this moment just confirmed his conjecture.

Li Zongsheng on the side was still chattering, and said with spittle: "Brother Lin Yan, there won't be ghosts in this place, right?" Are those people being eaten by ghosts? ”

Lin Yan was thinking about how to crack the formation at the moment, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, and said in his heart: "Such a big person is still afraid of ghosts, it's really useless!"

He forgot that when he first met Qiu Lao, he was also frightened by this old man Ah Piao, and with the long-term relationship after that, he was somewhat immune to these.

Looking at Li Zongsheng's suspicious appearance, Lin Yan couldn't help but want to tease him. But if you think about it carefully, now that time is pressing, it is better to hurry up and crack the formation and reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible.

Briefly explained to Li Zongsheng that this was a formation, and the people who came in together may also be trapped by the formation, and the latter's mood gradually stabilized.

But Lin Yan didn't have any research on the formation method, and at this moment, he and Li Zongsheng couldn't get around, and they couldn't help but make difficulties.

At this time, Qiu Lao reminded in his mind: "Haven't you studied the 'Thousand Changes of Organs'? There are many similarities between this formation and the mechanism, you can think of this formation as a larger mechanism puppet, the formation flag is his joint, and the formation eye is his center. ”

Hearing Qiu Lao's words, Lin Yanmao suddenly opened.

That's right, isn't the formation a little bigger? Although my understanding of the mechanism is still only in the introductory stage, it is not enough to build a mechanism, and it is not easy to destroy!

Just do it, relying on the understanding of "the mechanism is changing" in his mind, Lin Yan drew a gourd in the same way and began to carefully look for the context of this formation.

According to Qiu Lao, the essence of the formation and the mechanism is not too different, so as long as you can find the vein of this formation, you can find the formation flag along the vine, and then approach the formation eye step by step.

Li Zongsheng on the side looked at Lin Yan left and right, squatting down and writing on the ground from time to time, looking mysterious!

He couldn't figure it out for a while, but his instinct told him, "This kid might have a way!"

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zongsheng hurriedly came to Lin Yan's side and said earnestly: "Brother Lin Yan, do you have any way to get out?" If there is, you can't ignore my brother! ”

Lin Yan nodded helplessly when he heard this, although this guy seems a little unreliable at first, but along the way, he feels that people are not bad. Since there is a way to get out, Lin Yan naturally will not leave him.

Seeing Lin Yan nodding, he almost screamed out with joy, after all, if he was eliminated at the beginning, his father would have to peel his skin when he went home.

Then he suddenly reacted, afraid that his voice would affect Lin Yan, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, which was a little funny.

Time passed minute by minute, with Lin Yan's calculations, this formation gradually became clear in his mind, although after trying, the entire formation could not be cracked at the moment, but there was no big problem in helping the two of them get out of trouble.

"Follow me next!" After Lin Yan finished the calculation, he said to Li Zongsheng, and walked out first.

The latter hurriedly followed, only to see Lin Yan taking strange steps in front, first five steps forward, then three steps back, then two steps to the left, and then one step to the right......

As the cycle continued, Li Zongsheng's heart was also a little drumming, but when he saw Lin Yan's determined expression, he gritted his teeth and thought, "Believe him, fight!" Then he continued to follow Lin Yan.

After repeating it many times, the scenery around them changed from a white mist and invisible, to a lush hill overgrown with flowers and plants.

"Great, we're finally out there! Brother Lin Yan, you are really amazing! Li Zongsheng was very happy, he really wanted to cheer at this moment.

Lin Yan shook his head, in fact, he didn't know if he could crack this formation by relying on the trick, and it was really a big luck to succeed this time!

They looked around, and saw that there were many people around them who were spinning in circles, and they should also be trapped in the formation.

But the miraculous thing is that the two of them were talking loudly not far from those people, but those people couldn't see or hear, as if they were isolated in a small world.

Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh: "This is the terrible thing about the formation!"

Ignoring those people, Lin Yan searched around, and finally found the formation flag not far from the place where they came out just now.

They had only walked out of the vein of this formation before, and they had not cracked the formation. At this moment, the formation flag has been discovered, and if it is pulled out, then the formation in this area will stagnate.

But Lin Yan didn't make a move, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he thought of a better way.

Now that one Array Flag has been found, it will not be difficult to find another Array Flag. Sure enough, after a while, Lin Yan found another formation flag.

With these two array flags as the coordinates, Lin Yan began to deduce, and then, he opened his eyes and walked in one direction.

Although Li Zongsheng couldn't understand what he was doing, he followed out of his blind trust in Lin Yan from the previous incident.

After walking a distance, Lin Yan and Li Zongsheng were already approaching the top of the mountain at this moment, and Lin Yan finally found the location of the formation eye with the help of those two array flags.

I saw that in the middle of a few clusters of grass in front of me, there was a stone platform, on which were carved intricate and obscure incantations and symbols. And in the center of the stone platform, there is a crystal clear mutton fat white jade gourd, it seems that this is the eye of the array!

Lin Yan had long known that some treasures would be placed in the place of the general array eye, after all, ordinary things could not bear the role of the array eye. He searched for the array flag and calculated the position of the array eye, and he came here.

Looking at the array eye in front of him, Lin Yan thought: "Since I found the array eye, then this little gourd should be regarded as a prize!" I should be fine if I take it! ”
