Chapter 438: In December in the capital, the palace tried to sneak into the dragon abyss
Dongfang Hong.
President of the Imperial Spirit.
One of the five presidents of Penglai Academy.
There are a total of three Haoyue in Penglai Academy, except for the head of the Chuanwu Society, Bei Mingque, the other four are not Haoyue, but without exception, they have the ability to compete for the title of Haoyue.
The difference is that some people don't fight, and some people are a little unlucky.
Between the strength of Fu Yulou of Dongfang Honghe Tiandi Academy, it was just that he was unlucky to lose to Huang Qixia and missed the opportunity to compete for the place of Haoyue.
His status in the Imperial Spirit Academy is equivalent to that of the North Underworld in the Martial Arts Academy, but Dongfang Hong's reputation is much better than that of the North Underworld, and many people in Penglai Academy buy his account.
In the three years after he studied, the Imperial Spirit Academy has accumulated a lot of experience and quickly improved to the high level it is today, almost to the point where it can compete with the Martial Arts Academy.
If Bei Yingque is a standard standout, then Dongfang Hong is a leading talent, but this does not mean that his force value is very weak.
He is the only one who broke and stood after the confrontation with Huang Qixia and Ren North and South.
Its record is not only about losing, but also about winning over the wonderful monks in the bright moon.
The gold content is there.
Therefore, many people guessed that he would choose to participate in this year's Haoyue title.
Bai Yu doesn't know much about Dongfang Hong, but when most people mention him, they will ask him to be careful of this man...... In terms of camp and position, both are opposites.
Listening to the name, you know that Dongfang Hong was born in an Oriental family, and is the most promising Dongfang family lineage of this generation, and the four families of Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen, and Beiming do not say that they are in the same breath, but at least they are advancing and retreating together, and they have also had various marriages for the same millennium, and their interests have long been entangled.
And the system dispute between the imperial spirit and the martial arts, Dongfang Hong is also involved.
Combined with all this, he thought that the meeting between the two would be in the battle for the top of the list, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to come over, and it was Mu Yaoxi who greeted him.
He immediately cast a puzzled gaze - have you betrayed this thick-eyed man too?
Mu Yaoxi crossed her arms: "He said he wanted to get to know you, let me introduce you." ”
Bai Yu clenched his fists and responded: "Qianchen Society, Bai Yu, Bai Yujing...... I don't think there's anything to be concerned about by President Goryi. ”
"The sun is so big, and I'm not blind." Dongfang Hong's fluttering words and jokes revealed his high evaluation of Bai Yu, comparing it to the sun, not the bright moon.
Bai Yu thought to himself, is this a killing?
But whether it's the sun or the moon, it's just a title, he doesn't care about these at all.
Because his real goal is to be canonized in three years.
Bai Yu asked straight to the point: "Something?" ”
"Yes." Dongfang Hong took the initiative to walk towards the inside of the ground support department: "Go up and talk?" ”
Bai Yu pulled Mu Yaoxi's sleeve: "You are also together." ”
The three of them went up to the second floor, leaving the melon-eating crowd on the first floor.
One of them had already taken out his phone and started typing frantically on the keyboard.
Just the meeting between the two is enough for a post, not to mention that Dongfang Hong also 'inadvertently' revealed that Bai Yu's cultivation has now reached the transcendent third order...... Oh my god! How old is he?
The title of the shock body has been written, and the next thing is to post and wait for the heat to ferment.
……
On the second floor, the ground support department vacated a meeting room for three people.
After Bai Yu took his seat, he immediately asked, "What does President Dongfang want to talk about?" ”
"How much do you know about the Haoyue controversy?" Dongfang Hong did not answer, but changed to a question, which is a common technique, after resolving the other party's question, throw out a topic that the other party is more interested in, and master the rhythm of the conversation by himself.
Bai Yu said: "Not much. ”
"How much is it?"
"I don't know anything about it."
Mu Yaoxi glanced at him: "You are too straightforward." ”
Bai Yu poured himself a glass of boiled water: "I am a barbarian." ”
"The battle for Haoyue mostly started with nominations, and this time the nomination for the title of the seventh Haoyue has begun." Dongfang Hong patiently explained: "It is very difficult for ordinary people to become Haoyue, first they must be famous enough to have a chance to be nominated, and then they must stand out from all the nominees. ”
Bai Yu understood a little: "If you don't have a nomination, you can't participate in the competition for Haoyue?" ”
"Absolutely." Dongfang Hong said: "You can also fight for nominations on your own, and there are many ways, and the simplest way is ......."
The young man smiled and pointed to himself: "You choose a time to challenge me and win me, then this time the nomination is yours." ”
Mu Yaoxi snorted: "Do you think you are very humorous?" ”
Dongfang Hong was noncommittal: "Why do you think he can't do it?" ”
"If the nomination can be snatched, I'm afraid the process will be time-consuming." Bai Yu said: "If every nominee has to accept the challenge, wouldn't it be endless. ”
"Therefore, the nomination will be very deliberate, and only those who are worthy of the name are eligible to be nominated." Dongfang Hong boasted to himself: "For example, me, for example, Fu Yulou, and then for example, the chiefs in the Shouwang Academy. ”
"Who do you want me to challenge?" Bai Yu clarified the topic: "No matter who I challenge, the final nominees will inevitably compete or fight. ”
"It's not who I want you to challenge...... It's about who you intend to start with. Dongfang Hong tapped his fingers on the table, and said with a deep gaze: "You're not such a patient person, aren't you?" With a talent like yours, entering the country is like a bamboo, like a ship riding the wind and waves, and it can't stop for a moment. ”
Bai Yu leaned on the back of the chair and still maintained a relaxed posture, proving that he was not nervous, in fact, Dongfang Hong gave him a very strange feeling, no hostility.
"Tell me what you think."
"Let's go to the capital." Dongfang Hong said neatly: "If you want to compete for the title of Haoyue, you can't miss December in the capital." ”
Before Bai Yu asked in detail what 'December' meant.
Mu Yaoxi, who was quietly eating melon seeds on the side, suddenly took the case: "I don't agree!" It turns out that you hit this idea! ”
Dongfang Hong smiled and said nothing.
Bai Yu frowned: "Don't play dumb riddles, talk well." ”
"Do you know when and where Huang Qixia started?" Dongfang Hong said in a breath-like tone: "Five years ago, it was also December in the capital. ”
"Above the Danqi, the world is subdued."
"When the lights are on, you become famous overnight."
Bai Yu's heart moved, does it have anything to do with Huang Qixia?
He was a little interested.
Everything related to Huang Qixia, he has to be interested, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the future battle, or rather...... He didn't want to disappoint the phoenix who was sitting and watching the sea of clouds.
Mu Yaoxi grinded his teeth: "Dongfang Hong! ”
"If you don't want to hear it, you might as well say it yourself." Dongfang Hong knew that the effect had been achieved.
Bai Yu looked at Mu Yaoxi and only spit out one word: "Say." ”
…… Even if you don't say it, I have a way of knowing.
Miss Mu's cheeks bulged, then she exhaled deeply and squeezed out two words: "Palace test." ”
Bai Yu: "Ang? ”
"The palace examination is the palace examination, every year on December 15th, the Central Committee of Daxia will hold a test for the world's heroes, and the palace examination is divided into three sessions, each assessing literature, martial arts, and spirituality...... However, the difficulty of the palace examination is extremely high, and there are very few people who have passed it in the past ten years, and the total is only ten fingers. ”
Mu Yaoxi gestured a ten-finger interlaced finger: "Just ten people!" ”
"Five years ago, Huang Qixia passed the two tests of martial arts and gods in the palace examination, and her fame moved the world, and she was crowned with the sun in less than two years."
"In the next four years, only Long Jianquan passed the Martial Arts Hall Test, and then he also had to seal Haoyue."
Bai Yu touched his chin: "In this way, isn't the palace test a shortcut to Haoyue?" ”
"The back of the windfall is the misfortune, the pass rate of the palace exam is extremely low, do you think it doesn't need to pay a price?" Mu Yaoxi glanced at Dongfang Hong: "How long do you guess he has been lying down after participating?" Isn't it almost scrapped. ”
Dongfang Hong revealed his shortcomings and said with a smile: "I participated in two games, walked in, lay out, and almost became a waste, but fortunately I survived in the end." ”
"Although the palace exam is good, non-geniuses can't participate...... If you don't make it through, there is basically no hope in this life. Mu Yaoxi said quietly: "The questions of the palace exam are different every year, and the examiners will occasionally change...... The examiner that Dongfang Hong met back then was Huang Qixia, who can get by! ”
Bai Yu does not make an evaluation.
Calm gaze, thoughtful.
If you save so much trouble, you can pass the temple test directly...... One palace test is Haoyue, two are the sun, so what about three?
Well, the heart is hard.
But there's no need to show it.
Bai Yu said bluntly: "You came to see me on purpose, just for these advices? It won't do you any good to make me the Seventh Bright Moon. ”
Dongfang Hong got up, opened the curtains of the meeting room, and let the sunlight shine in: "As long as I can add an opponent to the North Underworld, I am willing to push you." ”
“…… Bored. Bai Yu's indifferent evaluation.
"It's boring, but it's nothing more than a battle of will." Dongfang Hong said self-deprecatingly: "Bei Mingque wants to become the second Huang Qixia, and he does not hesitate to pull Ren Nanbei to join forces, so I should naturally make some moves." ”
"Why don't you go yourself?" Mu Yaoxi asked angrily.
"If I had the strength." Dongfang Hong was ashamed of himself and said: "The North is easy to deal with, but Ren Nanbei is not easy to deal with, even if he is imprisoned by the Holy Dao, he is still an out-and-out Sun, and I don't have the capital and ability to contact the other two Suns." ”
"Do you really hate the North Styx so much?"
"Hate?" Dongfang Hong shook his head and said, "It's not accurate to say this, we actually grew up together...... Friend. ”
Bai Yu and Mu Yaoxi glanced at each other, thinking to themselves what kind of plastic friendship you have, the eight chat groups in the girls' dormitory are not so distorted.
"It's going to be complicated." Dongfang Hong shook his head and didn't want to mention this matter more, he said bluntly: "The palace examination is the most suitable opportunity for you, I will do everything I say, go or not, junior brother, you decide for yourself." ”
At the same time, he stretched out his hand: "And when we meet for the first time, it is inconvenient for us to come empty-handed as seniors, and in the future, when you buy medicinal materials from the Imperial Spirit Society, you will be given a 20% discount on all of them, just as I am showing my heart." ”
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, this is not small, Bai Yu stretched out his hand and held it.
After generously giving a promise, Dongfang Hong shook his hand and said: "My vision has always been good, your eyes are very similar to one of my elders...... I hope you will have a chance to meet her when you go to the capital. ”
Elders?
Bai Yu almost subconsciously used his palm, but Dongfang Hong withdrew his hand in advance.
He took the initiative to retire: "It seems that the inspection of the phantom beast over there has ended, so I will also leave here." ”
Mu Yaoxi chased after him: "I'll send this squinting eye of a hundred hearts!" ”
Bai Yu stood in the meeting room, full of thoughts.
If Bei Ying Que and Dongfang Hongzhen have known each other since childhood, then it is not surprising that he knows the North Ming Key, and the connection between the four major families is inextricably linked.
"Beijing, the palace test ......"
……
"Dongfang Hong!"
"You don't have to thank me."
"Me? Thank you! Thank you! ”
"Yaoxi, be calm, be elegant, don't move your hands and feet."
"The old lady is a military family, and she doesn't know the etiquette of a thousand-year-old family!"
"It seems that you really care about this junior, and you didn't even tell him about the Shenwu Division." Dongfang Hong stepped down and said at the same time: "You obviously have such a powerful support group as the Thousand Dust Society, but you don't plan to use it?" ”
Mu Yaoxi stiffened her face: "That's my business." ”
Dongfang Hong persuaded: "Soft-heartedness can't be done. ”
Mu Yaoxi hugged his arms: "He will be leaving in half a year, how can I involve him in such a troublesome matter." ”
"But that's not what you originally thought." Dongfang Hong turned his head.
"I changed my mind, the White Tiger Hall is very important, but it's just a constraint on them." Mu Yaoxi stopped and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky: "Actually, I can understand Tao Rushu's mood very well. ”
Dongfang Hong smiled quietly.
Mu Yaoxi got goosebumps when she looked at this smile: "What kind of expression do you have!" ”
"Reassuring? Or, emotion? Dongfang Hongshu shook his head with a smile and said, "I should congratulate you...... As a lonely girl with the innate Heroic Spirit bloodline, you now finally understand what a true friend is. ”
"You no longer think about yourself, learn to think from other people's perspectives, in order to understand empathy and move people's hearts."
"But there's more to learn, like ...... Learn to ask for help. ”
"It's not a temptation, it's a feeling."
"I'm sure they'll say yes."
After Dongfang Hong left a few words, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Mu Yaoxi stood in place thoughtfully.
……
Soon after Dongfang Hong left the ground support department.
He turned the corner and saw a familiar person.
"You're still you, as always, you know how to exploit the weaknesses of human nature." The comer sarcastically said.
"I can't talk about using it, it's just showing them the way." Dongfang Hong clasped his hands and said: "And it is the most suitable path, just like you were at the beginning, Long Jianquan." ”
"Clever words are moving, but when will you be able to tell your heart?"
"I said, I'm for the North Underworld, that's the truth." Dongfang Hong said very seriously.
Long Jianquan sneered: "The scale of this year's palace examination is unprecedented, the participants do not know how many, in December, the capital is celebrating the North Watch School, the water in the capital is too deep, you better pray that there will be no accidents in this palace examination, otherwise it will ......"
The dragon shadow departed.
Dongfang Hong touched the blood mark on his neck at some point, and rubbed his fingertips to wipe the blood away.
"After returning from the Dragon Country, the realm began to advance by leaps and bounds, and another Haoyue is going to build a bridge between heaven and earth, and at this critical time, instead of retreating, he will come out to warn me...... It's an interesting change in attitude. ”
"But Long Jianquan, you still underestimate his ability."
"The water in the capital is deep, isn't it just right for the hidden dragon to ascend to the abyss?"
