In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.

At the beginning of the day, the sky was still bright, but Wuning City had already woken up, and it was bustling and noisy, far better than usual. Early in the morning, the front of the post house was lined up with carriages and heavily armored brocade guards. According to the etiquette system, the carriages of this regulation are only qualified to be used by the court officials above the third rank, plus the brocade guards to support, if there is no holy grace, the members above the second rank will not be blessed. If you skip the level of riding, you will be punished with a board at least and be punished with a heavy punishment at worst.

However, this is not the case today, these carriages are not for the imperial court officials, but for the students who are taking the entrance examination for the Feilong Academy, and they are also supported by brocade guards. It shows that Beiyan attaches great importance to the scientific expedition of the Feilong Academy and attaches great importance to the monks.

All the candidates for the examination also got up early in the morning, some of them looked through the windows of the house, and some of them were already eating in the hall while looking out, whispering and chattering, looking very excited. Although Zhao Xinyi and Lin Shenyu didn't sleep much last night, in terms of excitement, the two of them were not inferior to anyone present, and they rushed to the post house early in the morning.

Zhao Xin looked around, secretly surprised, he thought that the reason why there were more than 300 candidates in the Flying Dragon Academy for this exam must be because someone was like him, who did the business of reselling talent posts and deceived those rich children, but when he used his divine sense to investigate, he found that there were seventy or eighty people with spiritual power fluctuations on his body.

That is to say, no one but him is reselling posts at all!

"How can there be so many people this time?"

He was thinking about it here, and a middle-aged official with a smile on his face, accompanied by a small official, walked into the post house with a smile on his face, coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said softly: "Candidates, our Ministry of Rites has prepared a car for you, and now you can board the car, and set off to the Feilong Academy." After that, he made a gesture of "please", was approachable, kind and polite, and immediately won a good impression from all the candidates.

Someone whispered and asked, what kind of official is this, why is there no official frame, there is no gong to open the way, there is no stars holding the moon, and even the county magistrate is not as good. Lin Shenyu asked, and Zhao Xin smiled and said: "Judging by his clothes, he should be the third-grade waiter of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

An insider whispered that the root of this official was the left-handed waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Ran.

Lin Shenyu was a little unbelievable, and couldn't help but be stunned, and was slapped on the back by Zhao Xinyi one by one, only then did he come back to his senses, followed Zhao Xinyi to complete the identity verification, and got into a carriage behind.

There were already three people sitting in the car, Zhao Xinyi said hello to the three of them briefly, looked around, the car was very luxurious, he was full of praise, Lin Shenyu was very restrained, sitting on the soft couch, but it was like sitting on pins and needles, and it was not as comfortable as the ox cart doing farm work.

Zhao Xinyi relieved a few words of relief, Lin Shenyu relaxed a little, suddenly thought of something, and asked the old yellow dog why he hadn't seen it for the past two days, and the latter casually said that this old yellow dog often disappears for a few days, but don't worry, he will definitely find himself in a few days.

Lin Shenyu nodded, and suddenly showed an unspeakable look, Zhao Xinyi naturally knew what he was worried about, and told him that this old dog was a thief, and he didn't have to worry about someone being able to eat him.

Since that bloody night, Zhao Xinyi has begun to disagree with Lao Huang's appearance, and his gods have also separated, and he even has the idea of dying together. Therefore, this time Lao Huang said that he needed to go out to do something and leave for a while, not only did he not have any reluctance, but cursed him in his heart to die early and live early.

Everyone waited in the carriage for about two quarters of an hour, seeing that it had already passed, but the convoy had not yet set off, someone poked his head out of the window, anxiously asked, Jin Yiwei only said that he was still waiting for someone, but he did not disclose who he was waiting for. In this regard, Zhao Xinyi and Lin Shenyu knew that the person was naturally Liu Qinglin. Thinking of that white fat man, Zhao Xinyi couldn't help laughing, and suddenly looked forward to seeing what he had become now.

As soon as he thought about it, there was a shouting and messy footsteps outside.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, my young master is here......"

Needless to say, the person who came was Liu Qinglin and his little guys. Zhao Xinyi lifted the corner of the window slightly, and sure enough, he saw two small guys opening the road in front, and the four little guys behind were carrying a bamboo sedan chair, running hard, and it was Liu Qinglin who was sitting on the bamboo sedan chair. At this time, this white fat man was covered with scratches, his face was bloody and hideous, and he became a veritable red fat man, and it hurt to look at it.

Zhao Xinyi couldn't hold back one by one, laughed out loud, Liu Qinglin happened to pass by, following the sound, the former quickly covered the curtains, and the latter didn't see anything, secretly wondering if it was laughter just now, and who was laughing, it was more likely that he was just suspicious. He felt like everyone was laughing at him.

Although he was late, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites did not have any words of blame, but politely invited the former to get into the car and instructed the convoy to speed up according to the original route. He didn't dare to miss the trip, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor was already about to arrive at the Flying Dragon Courtyard at this time, so he hurriedly urged the coachman to speed up again.

There is a brocade guard to open the road support, the convoy goes smoothly, a quarter of an hour out of the east gate, all the way to the east, out of more than ten miles, the road gradually ups and downs, the mountains and forests become more and more dense, to the back, the mountain road is gradually more, the green hills on both sides rise and fall, the flowing water is murmuring, a good mountain color.

Zhao Xinyi has been following the old Taoist priest around for so many years, and he didn't feel any amazing or outstanding scenery outside the window, but in the shaking of the carriage, his head rested on Lin Shenyu's thigh, and he fell asleep. Lin Shenyu rarely goes far away, everything is fresh, and he looks at it with relish when he lies on the car window.

At two o'clock, the convoy stopped at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Ran beckoned everyone to get out of the car, Zhao Xinyi was woken up by Lin Shenyu, patted his face, forcibly refreshed himself, and followed everyone to the root of the mountain, looking up, a good majestic peak, lush, clouds cover the fog, I don't know the geometry of the circle, the mountain is a little high. Rao is Zhao Xin was well-informed at first sight, and he couldn't help but praise a good mountain.

Feilong Courtyard, a total of nine hills, the number of three three, due north and south and column, showing the posture of Lingyan spreading its wings; There are five mountains, which are in front of them, and the remaining four are among the four numbers surrounded by the hills, and now the dragon is raising its head; 1915, implying the meaning of the supreme of the Ninety-Five, can be seen that Emperor Lingzong of the Northern Yan Dynasty founded the Feilong Academy of high hopes.

The mountain in front of everyone is the Zhengzun of the five mountains, that is, the "dragon's head", and the name is "into the clouds".

Zhao Ran took a group of people to the mountain road, facing a stone archway full of momentum, with three big characters of "Flying Dragon Courtyard" written on it, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, which has a majestic charm and makes people awe-inspired. On both sides of the archway, there is a young man in Tsing Yi with a sword, who is heroic and cool, and he thinks that he is a disciple of the Flying Dragon Academy.

Zhao Ran was handing over various matters with these two disciples, and an official went out to greet him, dressed similarly to Zhao Ran, thinking that this was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites - Xu Shenren. Xu Shenren saw Zhao Ran, let out a sigh of relief, and said with some resentment: "Seeing that it is time to reach Chenzheng, you can be regarded as coming, Your Majesty has been here for a long time, hurry up the mountain." ”

Zhao Ran didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and hurriedly led everyone up the mountain, hurrying slowly, the group was so tired that they were out of breath, and finally arrived at the "Flying Dragon Palace" at the right time. The main hall is majestic and magnificent, and there are thirty steps in front of the hall. The candidates looked at it carefully, and praised it from the bottom of their hearts, but Zhao Ran and Xu Shenren did not have this leisure, and the two commanded everyone to stand in a row in the square in front of the hall.

Under the command of the two of them, Zhao Xinyi moved unhurriedly while carefully looking at the three people standing on the left side of the first row. As soon as he arrived at the square, he discovered the existence of these three people, and muttered in a low voice: "These guys are obviously from different paths from himself, could it be that they are all from a very big way, and they are all princes and princesses?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more right he felt, and suddenly the third person turned his head sideways and winked at him, he couldn't help but curse "bullshit" secretly, and at the same time he was overjoyed, this person was none other than his good brother Yao Rui. He was about to winkle his eyebrows when a sound of footsteps came from the stone steps, followed by a shrill voice.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Zhao Ran had already confessed, the emperor's grace was immense, and the candidates of this session were allowed to only bow down, not kneel. All the candidates bowed their hands and bowed, and they were all very excited.

The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch on the side hurriedly spoke.

"Flat!"

The crowd raised their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at the king, and secretly looked at the middle-aged man in the yellow robe in the center, all wanting to see what this legendary famous monarch and cultivating genius looked like. Although Zhao Xinyi had seen the Northern Yan Emperor earlier, he still couldn't help but peek at it, only to see the dazzling brilliance of the Yan Xinghai under the golden sun, like a scorching sun.

Originally, it was just such a sensation in the eyes, but suddenly, this sensation spread all over the body, from the inside out, and the whole body began to burn. At first, I was able to endure it, but after a few breaths, it became more and more intense, and I felt that my whole body was burning and breathing, and it was as if my whole body was going to be burned, like fire burning water. Thinking that Lao Huang must have caused some trouble outside, he was affected by him for no reason, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Dead dog, you killed Lao Tzu!" ”

……

In the middle of an endless mountain, the forest is lush and green, covering the sky and the sun.

Surrounded by mountains, there is a green pool, not too big, nine feet around, an old yellow dog around the green pond not far and not close, circle after circle, look hesitant, and finally jump on the side of the pond on a rock, eyes staring straight at the center of the pool, the slightest invisible black smoke in his pupils is clear and abnormal. Black smoke rises from the center of the pool, circles around the green pool for several weeks, and finally returns to the pool, and the cycle repeats endlessly.

The old yellow dog's hesitation was even heavier, and he grinned and wanted to turn away. However, at the moment when he turned around, his body suddenly stiffened and he fell off the stone cliff.

The black smoke instantly became hideous, like a black iron chain tying the old yellow dog tightly in the air and dragging it straight into the water. At the moment of entering the water, he roared angrily: "Dog boy, you are looking for death...... Ahem......"

……

Flying Dragon Temple.

Asking for Love Mountain is one of the nine hills, located in the southeast corner, surrounded by thick fog all year round, and is the forbidden place of the Flying Dragon Temple. It is rumored that the founding emperor of Northern Yan, Emperor Taizong, was here to investigate the situation, hence the name. But this mountain was sealed not for this reason, but because the ancestral land of the Northern Yan royal family, Fu Lake, is here.

The Northern Yan royal family has an ancestral talisman secret book, called "Tianyuan Sutra", which is a heaven-level exercise, and the ancestor of the Northern Yan Tianxing has established a great reputation by virtue of this exercise.

This exercise is very powerful, but it is also difficult to cultivate, and the inheritance method is also very strange, you must be in the lake before the age of eighteen when the Beiyan Ancestral Land Fu Lake opens, you can feel the exercises in the lake by yourself.

And the ancestral land Fu Lake is only opened once every ten years, and the inheritance of the exercises is extremely difficult, and no one can inherit it after Yan Tianxing.

At this moment, three old men gathered in the ancestral land Fu Lake, with ruddy faces and crane hair and childish faces, if the head of the courtyard is here today, they will be surprised. These three people, all of them are his uncles, Dao Chang Qingzi, Wuweizi, and Yuyangzi, who have been living in seclusion in the mountains of love for many years, and do not ask about the world, even if he wants to meet on weekdays, it is extremely difficult, but he didn't expect that they would all appear here today.

The three of them stood out of thin air on top of a turquoise lake, and all kinds of runes surging below, causing the lake to churn and boil, and the three of them asked each other. The old man in the center stroked his long beard and said: "The Fu Lake has not yet opened, but the Guiyuan Ding has not moved, it has never been seen in the past two or three hundred years, and it is the first time we have encountered it." The reason for this still needs to be carefully investigated, and for the sake of today's plan, it needs to be banned as soon as possible, so as not to expose the clues and attract a lot of peeps. ”

The other two nodded in agreement, the three of them didn't say much, and their figures appeared on the stone platform of the triangle on the top of the mountain in a flash, and at the same time pinched the magic trick, and as one person shouted "Bah", the three of them slapped their palms towards a stone tablet in the center at the same time, and a bright spiritual light flashed and disappeared into the mountain.

The whole mountain of love trembled, as if there was a burst of spiritual light.

……

Hall of the Flying Dragon.

On the stone steps, the Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites is reading aloud the subjects and rules of the next examination. Under the stone steps, Zhao Xinyi was sluggish, his legs were weak, and he finally couldn't hold on, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. He didn't know that a circle of red light dots lit up in his body, connected to each other, faintly with the appearance of a ding, violently vibrating, as if echoing something.
