As soon as the gong sounded, the second course "mountaineering" officially began. A group of candidates received the dry food packages prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and began to choose the road to climb the mountain in twos and threes. There are eight mountain roads in this mountain, which should be in the direction of the eight trigrams, and the eight directions of Qiandui away from Zhenkun Gen Kanxun are "cold", "come", "summer", "to", "autumn", "harvest", "winter", "Tibet" eight directions.

Zhao Xin caught a glimpse of Liu Qinglin and a few people gathering together and whispering from the corner of the corner, and immediately had an idea in his heart, and walked straight to the back of the mountain with Lin Shenyu, making it clear that he wanted to stay away from Liu Qinglin and the others. And Liu Qinglin had already spent a lot of money, so he naturally refused to let him go easily, and followed with a few people in a menacing manner.

Zhao Xinyi took Lin Shenyu to trot all the way, accelerated sharply in a large area of bushes, and quickly boarded the "Autumn" Road with Liu Qinglin and his others.

Autumn Road, the farthest away from the place of departure, there are only one or two Zhao Xin on the mountain road, which can be regarded as a single figure, coupled with the dense mountain forest and the roar of beasts and birds from time to time, it is slightly eerie and terrifying, plus there is the existence of a phantom array. The two of them tensed their heartstrings, one of them held a wooden stick in his hand, and walked up the stairs all the way, looking left and right, secretly guessing which place was the legendary phantom forest, and what would be conjured up in the phantom forest? But the mountains are densely wooded, and they really can't see a clue.

On the contrary, the steep mountain road was covered with fallen leaves of all shapes, and the squeaky sound at the foothold was very interesting, and the two of them gradually relaxed, and began to talk more. Just as they were talking about some birds in this forest, a terrible birdsong suddenly sounded in the air, and both of them were startled, and subconsciously searched for the place where the birds chirped, but saw that the fallen leaves had turned into eagles, vibrating their wings, and looking at the two of them angrily. The two were shocked and frightened, and did not dare to act rashly for a while.

The entire forest fell into silence, save for the flapping of birds of prey and the faint sound of the wind. However, this tranquility was too short, and it was only eight or nine breaths of time, with a clear eagle's cry, a group of birds of prey shot away, as fast as the arrows, and the sound of breaking through the air made people's scalps tingle.

"Run!" As soon as Zhao Xin came back to his senses, he pulled Lin Shenyu and rushed forward. The falcons attacked from the front, left, and right, leaving only the mountain to walk, clearly forcing them to give up on their own. But the two of them did not want to stop there, and rushed forward, but their speed of running was slower than that of the eagle that swooped down, and seeing that there was no way to escape, the two of them brandished wooden sticks and fought hard.

A big battle with the mantis arm as a car was staged immediately, and the wooden sticks of the two were easily broken by the eagle claws in the first round, and Zhao Xinyi used the bear fire charm, but it didn't work, and it was no different from waste paper. He used the Wind Charm and the Teleportation Charm again, and the result was still the same. Lin Shenyu threw away the wooden stick, picked up the stones and smashed them wildly, but they were all dodged by the eagle falcon dexterously, and none of them were hit, and it was in vain.

In the second round, the two men were under the sharp claws and sharp mouths, their clothes were broken, scarred, and covered in blood. Lin Shen said that there was nothing to throw around, and while enduring the pain and waving his arms to drive away the fierce birds that swooped indiscriminately, while looking at the countless birds of prey in the air, he was desperate, hesitated again and again, and said bitterly: "Xinyi, we, we are still ......" The latter words are really hard to say.

Zhao Xinyi naturally knew what he was going to say, and while catching the eagle, he said to himself: "No! ”

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Xinyi said with a straight face: "Yan Chen said that in recent years, the monks of Beiyan have been outflowing, and there is no talent to stay, so I can't wait to beg all the monks to stay in Beiyan." Now it's just the beginning, but it's forcing us to retreat, and the assessment shouldn't be so cruel! Something must be wrong, is it because of me? It really feels like someone is targeting me! ”

Lin Shenyu hurriedly shook his head and said, "It must be because I'm too stupid, they don't want me, that's why I'm bothering you!" ”

Zhao Xinyi looked around again, and said horizontally: "Do you believe me?" Lin Shen nodded heavily, "Okay, close your eyes, don't move, don't think about anything!" ”

"This ......" Lin Shenyu saw that Zhao Xinyi really closed his eyes, didn't move at all, and let the eagle peck and tear, he was completely crazy, but he still did it, and the pain around him instantly overwhelmed him. Suddenly, a giant eagle with a length of time fell from the sky, opened its bloody mouth and grabbed his left arm, and pulled it hard, about to swallow him in one bite, and couldn't help but shout in panic: "Ah......"

"Alright, alright, wake up!"

The familiar voice and the faintly painful face made Lin Shenyu open his eyes suddenly, panting heavily, slightly frightened, what he saw in front of him was not a giant eagle that could swallow him in one bite, but Zhao Xinyi, who was covered in chaos, but the previous miserable injuries were gone. Look at yourself again, I have been buried alive by fallen leaves, a little itchy, but soft, very comfortable, a little force, I pulled out of the body, and it is also intact.

"Tap, tap!" Zhao Xinyi sat on a pile of fallen leaves of his own, "I can still use it when I sleep at night." ”

Lin Shen looked around, it was getting late, and it was estimated that most of the time had passed, and the surroundings were quiet, and there was no trace of an eagle falcon, so he said, "What's going on?" ”

Zhao Xinyi took a sip of wine and said, "This is the so-called illusion, and it is really scary!" Having said that, just after closing his eyes and stabilizing his mind, he was surprised to find that all the falcons had turned into their original forms, and the fallen leaves were just fallen leaves, mountains were mountains, and trees were trees, and when he opened his eyes again, the phantom array had no effect on him.

"Is it because my divine consciousness has reached the golden pill stage?" He groaned slightly, "That's how it is! ”

Lin Shenyu saw Zhao Xinyi's indifferent look, thinking that the latter had given up, and couldn't help but be very worried: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Don't worry, let's sleep here for two days, and then leave on the third day, and the journey will be much smoother!" Zhao Xin is confident.

Lin Shenyu was worried while pulling the fallen leaves on his body: "Why? You won't be able to climb the mountain, so you won't accept us, right? ”

Zhao Xinyi: "If you want to say that it is possible for me alone, it may not be big if you add you." Do you think, Beiyan lacks monks, and he can't wait to take all the monks in the world into his pocket, how can there be a reason to refuse them? I guess that they are engaged in such a big battle here, and the whole thing is so scary, just to make people doubly rare the opportunity to be hired, so as not to leave easily in the future! So, I guess, the difficulty is in the first few days, and the latter is the meaning! ”

"Really?" Lin Shenyu felt that it was reasonable, but he didn't dare to be completely reassured.

"Of course it's true, fill your stomach and get ready for bed!" Zhao Xinyi had already buried himself in the fallen leaves, and while drinking, he admired the stars in the sky, and said vaguely: "Old man, are you really here?" ”

……

Into the cloud mountain, the Guangwen Palace, the third of the four halls, is the entrance of the Guangwen Prison. In the backyard, in a wing room with an "ancient mirror" hanging in the east, the two played tea in front of the window, Yan Xinghai sat in the north, and Zhao Xinyi's "enemy" sat in the south - Qian Laobeg.

The east wall is hung with bronze mirrors, there is a picture on each mirror, some people are holding the big tree in the mountain forest and crying, some people scream and flee in panic for no reason, some people kneel on the mountain stone and beg for mercy, and some people indifferently bury themselves in the fallen leaves to sleep, all these are the scene of the Phantom Forest Mountain at the moment.

There are two Duobao Pavilions on both sides of the northwest, full of scrolls, and a personal name is written on the stick, which is all the candidates who participated in the scientific examination this time.

Yan Xinghai smiled, holding the white son, and fell in the hinterland of the sunspot, not afraid of being alone and invincible, and the chess path was wide open and closed. glanced at the east wall, and the smile on his face was even stronger.

The "old beggar" fell into the sunspot, and it also went deep into the hinterland, but it was a clear way to kill himself. Yan Xinghai smiled bitterly: "Old Qian, are you still blaming me for not wanting you to accept that stinky boy?" ”

"I don't dare, old man!" Although Old Man Qian said this, his face and tone did not show the slightest bit of fear.

Yan Xinghai didn't mean to be surprised at all, and still smiled: "You all know the roots of that kid, and if you put it here, it's useless waste wood, but if it is placed in my officialdom, not to mention benefiting one party, it will definitely help me kill a few corrupt officials!" ”

From beginning to end, Yan Xinghai didn't use a "me" or "lonely" to talk to this Qian Lao, and he didn't pretend to be the emperor of a country at all, but got along as a junior, which shows that he attaches great importance to Qian Lao. In fact, this old Qian is called Qian Jilai, who once served as the head of the fourth prison, and now he is the deputy head of the court, and he is also the head of the Guangwen prison for the time being, and he is highly respected, but in terms of seniority, he is the same generation as Yan Xinghai, but he is Yan Xinghai's senior brother.

Qian Jilai said: "Having said that, it's rare to have a kid who is eccentric, and he is facing the appetite of the old man, let the old man drive him away personally, I am really reluctant to do it!" ”

Yan Xinghai fell again, the offensive continued unabated, and said with a smile: "Old Qian, what do you want?" Qian Jilai was silent, just Luozi saved his former son, judging from the general trend, he was completely self-defeating, Yan Xinghai smiled bitterly, "I don't know what blessings this kid has cultivated, so that Qian Lao values it so much!" In this way, if this kid gets a grade above B in the mountaineering subject, let him be admitted to the hospital, what do you think? ”

Qian Jilai glanced at Yan Xinghai, turned his head to look at a bronze mirror, in which the two people buried themselves in the fallen leaves, chatting while drinking, it was Zhao Xinyi and the two. And in the darkness not far away, several figures sneakily crouched behind a large rock. Qian Jilai said: "This kid has clearly seen our intentions, it is not difficult for him to simply pass the Illusion Forest Array, but so many people secretly want to deal with him. There is a way that mountaineering is easy, but it is difficult to pass people! ”

Yan Xinghai laughed and said, "Then it's no wonder to others, who let this kid offend people everywhere!" ”

Qian Jilai said: "That's it! I'm going to bet this game with you, old man! ”

Yan Xinghai fell again, seemingly casual, but he directly attacked Qian Jilai's key point, and said with a smile: "Old Qian, the mastermind behind the production and sale of counterfeits everywhere must have been found, right?" ”

Qian Jilai fell behind, turned from offense to defense, and said with a smile: "Even if I don't say it, you have already guessed it, right?" ”

Yan Xinghai snorted and said, "This kind of behavior, that kid will definitely not be able to get out of it, even if he is not the mastermind, he is also an accomplice!" Old Qian, why are you persistent? ”

"Do you know where that kid spent all the money?" Qian Jilai pretended to be mysterious.

"Where?" Yan Xinghai didn't bother to guess.

"Chaoyang Bureau."

"It's kind of interesting!" Yan Xinghai nodded.

……

Phantom Forest Mountain.

On the road, the purple-clothed slightly chubby girl who had "instructed" Liu Qinglin before squatted on the mountain road and cried while eating pears, eating pears and apples, and it seemed that she was trapped in a fantasy and couldn't extricate herself. However, there was a shallow smile at the corner of her mouth, and she muttered: "One, two, three, four, five, Dongjin, Beimu, Xishui, Nanhuo, and Middle Earth, there are a total of five 'Water Moon Mirrors', and the 'Five Elements Viewing Sea Array' is paired with the 'Bagua Disillusionment Array', how can it be broken?" Stinky old man, you liar! ”
