As soon as the words fell, the things around Xie Yinian reorganized again.

He came to a Sanqing Hall dedicated to the Taoist Sanqing Patriarch.

The Taoist sound in the Sanqing Hall was ethereal, Xie Yinian listened carefully, and knew that this was the Taoist technique he wanted to comprehend.

He walked in front of Sanqing, and after saluting, he found a futon to sit down, closed his eyes and listened carefully to these Taoist sounds, and unconsciously entered the realm of selflessness, and his hands began to seal with the Taoist sounds.

It wasn't until the sound of the Tao dissipated that Xie Yinian opened his eyes and found that he had come out of the illusion created by the Asking Heart Mirror.

Xie Yinian got up from the futon, crossed the figures who were still enlightened, and walked in front of the judges.

When the two judges saw him, their faces showed a little surprise.

One of the judges with a gray beard subconsciously looked at the alarm clock on the side.

Xie Yinian followed his line of sight and saw that the number "01:12" was clearly displayed on the alarm clock.

Not to mention the judges, Xie Yinian himself was a little surprised.

It only took him an hour and twelve minutes?

Obviously, he felt that he had been delayed in the illusion for a long time, and he was not crisp enough to make a choice......

Could it be that the speed of time in the illusion is not the same as that in the outside world?

"Put to good use the techniques you've learned." The white-bearded judge pointed to a dead tree in front of him and said to Xie Yinian.

Xie Yinian quickly sealed the seal while reciting the incantation silently.

A pale green glow popped out of his fingertips, covering the dead tree, and after a few breaths, a faint green bud emerged from the branch, and the dead tree returned to spring.

The two judges glanced at each other and nodded: "No problem, show your identity credentials." ”

Xie Yinian handed over his identity credentials.

The whitebeard judge made a registration and motioned for him to leave.

Xie Yinian walked outside, and the discussion of the two judges was sent into his ears by the wind.

"One hour and twelve minutes, it's the best result so far."

"It was the best. I thought that the result of one hour and twenty-one minutes was enough to be demonic, but I didn't expect that the younger generation has produced so many geniuses, which is really terrifying......"

As Xie Yinian limped and turned to the other side, he couldn't hear the judges' voices.

So he didn't know that the topic of the two judges gradually moved to the Xie family.

"Xie Yinian, is it from the Xie family?"

"Probably right?"

"I've never heard of his reputation before."

"I don't know, but he looks a little kind, and his facial features do have some shadows of the Xie family."

"When you say that, I have a vague feeling of that. If Xie Yinian is really the Xie family, then the luck of the Xie family's generation is too strong, with a Xie Chuan, and now there is a stronger Xie Yinian, God bless the Xie family......"

The other judge didn't speak, but he agreed with the judgment.

Xie Yinian participated in the last assessment today.

The previous batch of Heavenly Masters had already left the examination room, and none of the candidates in the same batch as him had come out, and there were only those Heavenly Master Alliance Elders who were trembling outside the examination room, fearing that the Ghost King would suddenly come.

Therefore, as soon as Xie Yinian walked out of the examination room, he instantly received the attention of all the guest elders.

Xie Yinian was furious by them, saluted them, and left quickly.

After walking a full two kilometers, Xie Yinian found the driver of the Zhao family.

After getting in the car, he first took out the yellow hyacinth from his bag, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yao Rong first: [It's done! 】

Yao Rong replied quickly to the news, obviously waiting for his good news: [It seems to be going well]

[Rice cake: Very smooth, thanks to the good luck brought by that yellow hyacinth]

Exiting the dialog box with Yao Rong, Xie Yinian clicked on the "I really can't catch ghosts" group chat and shared his good results with everyone in the group.

[Danhua Guan Ban Xi: Rely on it, rely on it, you are too fierce in your year, this result is so good that it is unreasonable]

[A look at Zhan Bingyun: I'm shocked, how did you do it, I thought I was making decisions fast enough]

[Xie Yinian: I don't know very well, I feel that I have lost some time in making a decision]

[A look at Zhan Bingyun: When you make a choice, do you want to kill or not? 】

[Xie Yinian: The last choice was not to kill, and another way was used to resolve the crisis]

[A view of the ice cloud: Alas, it may be that my method of dealing with it is not as good as you]

Zhan Bingyun didn't want to say much, but Xie Yinian still vaguely guessed her choice from her words.

It's no wonder that everyone is secretive about what they have encountered in the illusion after participating in the trial.

But soon, Zhan Bingyun's mood adjusted again: [I thought about it, not killing can indeed save time, my last fight lasted for a long time, it seems that the whole world is my enemy]

[Danhua Guan Ban Xi: Alas, if I can solve the problem if I don't kill, then I will definitely choose not to kill ......]

[A look at Zhan Bingyun: Ahem, let me ask a more presumptuous question, how did you do it? If it's inconvenient to say, forget it]

It is indeed inconvenient to go into detail about the cause and effect of the matter, but the method can be told to Ban Xi and Zhan Bingyun.

But Ban Xi and Zhan Bingyun were even more confused after listening to Xie Yinian's approach.

[Danhua Guan Ban Xi: Just send a flower, and stop the soldiers to be peaceful? 】

If he didn't know what kind of personality Xie Yinian was, Ban Xi would definitely think that Xie Yinian was fooling him.

[Xie Yinian: Hmm...... My master loves me a lot......]

Unable to bear to look at Ban Xi and Zhan Bingyun's messy appearance, Xie Yinian silently changed the topic and asked when he would be able to enter the valley after the trial.

[Danhua Guanban Banxi: Just next Monday]

Xie Yinian did the math, that is, five days later.

After the Xie family came to H City, they stayed in the hotel arranged by the Heavenly Master League.

In addition to the Xie family, there are other families and Taoist people who live in this hotel.

Even the Elder Keqing sent by the headquarters of the Heavenly Master Alliance also settled here.

So when it's time for dinner, the restaurant on the second floor is very lively.

Many of them are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and it's rare to see each other here, so they all sit together and catch up and chat.

The white-bearded judge from the Lu family sat face to face with Xie Zuo at this moment.

Xie Chuan sat next to him.

Xie Zuo laughed and said: "Chuan'er, this is the Lu family's predecessor Lu Hexuan, and he is also the law enforcement elder of the Heavenly Master Alliance, you have just joined the Heavenly Master Alliance, and you will have to be more on par with Lu Hexuan's predecessor in the future." ”

Xie Chuan smiled a little at the corner of his lips, and greeted Lu Hexuan politely: "Today I finished the trial, and when I came out of the trial ground, it was Lu Hexuan's seniors who helped me register the results. ”

Lu Hexuan said gently: "Your grades are very good, so good that we are embarrassed." ”

Xie Chuanqian said: "The predecessors have a good reputation. ”

Xie Zuo also talked about Lu Hexuan's pride when he was young.

Even if he knew that Xie Zuo intended to curry favor, Lu Hexuan couldn't help but hear a little fluttering, and didn't mind revealing more news to Xie Zuo: "Your Xie family's assessment results this time are very good. ”

Xie Zuo had a smile in his eyes.

Today, a total of 800 Heavenly Masters were assessed, and in the end, only 31 Heavenly Masters passed the exam, with an average of 10 major families and 16 Taoist temples, basically one person from each family or Taoist temple.

But in addition to Xie Chuan, there is another person in their Xie family who has also passed the audit.

This result is indeed very good.

"If I'm not mistaken, three of you Xie family have passed the assessment today." Lu Hexuan said.

Xie Zuo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Xie Chuan.

Xie Chuan's face was also the same surprise, obviously not knowing about it.

Xie Zuo asked, "There are three of them?" ”

"Yes, Xie Chuan, Xie Sibo and Xie Yinian, aren't there just three. Brother Xie Zuo, your Xie family is hiding too deeply, with a genius like Xie Yinian, how can you still hide it and not let people know. ”

After saying this, looking at Xie Zuo and Xie Chuan's somewhat ugly looks, Lu Hexuan was slightly stunned: "Could it be that Xie Yinian is not the Xie family?" ”

Xie Chuan suppressed the strangeness in his heart and nodded: "He is indeed not the Xie family. ”

"That's weird." Lu Hexuan muttered to himself in a low voice.

Xie Zuo was in a state of confusion at this moment, and when he heard Lu Hexuan talking to himself, he couldn't help asking, "What's strange." ”

"I and another judge both think Xie Yinian is very kind."

Lu Hexuan just said it casually, but he didn't know how strongly his words had a strong impact on Xie Zuo.

——Two years ago, when he first met Xie Yinian in the hospital, Xie Zuo felt that Xie Yinian was a little familiar.

It's just that Xie Zuo hasn't taken this familiarity to heart.

Until now, Lu Hexuan talked about it again.

Xie Zuo turned his head to look at Lu Hexuan, and he didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding and asked: "Xie Yinian has left such a deep impression on Brother Lu Hexuan, his customs clearance results will not be better than Chuan'er, right?" ”

Lu Hexuan was slightly stunned, and his face showed a little embarrassment.

In fact, the Heavenly Master Alliance does not prohibit the leakage of results, but Lu Hexuan is not a person who talks a lot, he will mention Xie Yinian to Xie Zuo, also because he thinks that Xie Yinian is the Xie family.

I didn't expect to make such a big oolong.

"Both of them have good results." Lu Hexuan had no choice but to use this answer to be vague.

Xie Zuo's heart sank.

Xie Chuan's action of picking up vegetables was also a meal.

They are all smart people, and they can't stand up to the meaning of Lu Hexuan's words.

Both of them have good results, but Xie Yinian's results are definitely better than Xie Chuan's, otherwise why would Lu Hexuan beat around the bush.

The three of them had no intention of eating, and hastily filled their stomachs, and Lu Hexuan said goodbye and left.

Xie Zuo could no longer maintain the gloom on his face.

Xie Chuan said: "I went to my dad and asked my dad to inquire about the specific results. ”

Xie Zuo nodded: "Okay, you can go." ”

Patriarch Xie is an elegant-looking middle-aged man.

His facial features are very similar to Xie Chuan, but compared to Xie Chuan, Patriarch Xie has a little more calmness and gentleness that has been precipitated over the years.

On the bridge of his nose is a pair of gold glasses, and he looks more like a scholar.

At this time, Patriarch Xie was chatting and laughing with the deputy leader of the Heavenly Master Alliance, and when he saw Xie Chuan coming, he had another smile on his face.

But after listening to what Xie Chuan said, the curvature of Patriarch Xie's lips remained unchanged, but the smile in his eyes faded.

"Lost company." Patriarch Xie apologized to the deputy alliance leader and went to find another judge, and after some inquiry, Patriarch Xie told Xie Chuan about Xie Yinian's results.

The corners of Xie Chuan's lips tightened subconsciously, and his eyes blinked a few times in shock.

His time was one hour and twenty-one minutes.

Originally, after Zhan Bingyun's results came out, Xie Chuan thought that the first trial was in his pocket.

Who knew that now he would kill Xie Yinian, who was a full nine minutes faster than him.

How could the gap be so big.

Obviously, he didn't hesitate at all when he made those choices.

Xie Chuan rarely couldn't control the expression on his face, and walked back to Xie Zuo in a trance.

Xie Zuo let out a long sigh when he saw his unrelenting appearance.

It seems that he guessed correctly, Xie Yinian's results are indeed slightly better than Xie Chuan.

Xie Chuan's sanity finally returned, he took a glass of orange juice from the side, drank several sips, and then told Xie Zuo the news he had heard.

Xie Zuo rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips, and suddenly asked Xie Chuan: "Do you think Xie Yinian looks kind?" ”

Xie Chuan stared at Xie Zuo, not understanding the purpose of his question.

Xie Zuo motioned for Xie Chuan to leave the restaurant and walked to a place where no one was around, before he lowered his voice and said, "Two years ago, I explored Xie Yinian's meridians. His talent is actually better than yours. ”

"I haven't thought much about it, but just now Lu Hexuan said that he felt that Xie Yinian was very kind. I only remembered that when I first met Xie Yinian, I also thought he was very familiar. ”

Xie Chuan frowned: "Uncle, what do you want to express?" ”

Xie Zuo sighed: "Count it up, if the child who was lost back then, if he grows up safely, he should be about the same age as Xie Yinian." ”

Xie Chuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to ask "what child".

When the words came to his lips, his pupils shrank suddenly.

When the child named Xie Xiu, who was born in the lunar year, was lost, Xie Chuan was already six years old, and he was old enough to remember.

So he ...... I vaguely know some inside information......

Could it be that Xie Yinian was the child back then?

"I hope I'm thinking too much." Xie Zuo said.

"Nope. There are not so many coincidences in this world. Xie Chuan made a decision in his heart, "There should be photos of the former young patriarch and the wife of the former young patriarch in the clan, let people find out their photos immediately, and then ask a professional to compare them." This matter cannot be delayed! ”

For this reason, Xie Zuo called his cronies who stayed in the family.

The cronies searched for a long time before they got a photo of the former young patriarch and the wife of the former young patriarch from a clansman.

Just looking at Xie Yinian's appearance, Xie Zuo felt that Xie Yinian was a little familiar at most.

But when Xie Yinian's photo is placed next to Yao Rong Xie Zhou's photo, it is not just familiar.

That strong sense of déjà vu made Xie Zuo more and more sure of his conjecture.

And the comparison results of professionals only confirmed this conjecture thoroughly.

Patriarch Xie looked at the comparison report back and forth several times, threw it into the shredder, and watched it completely become crumbs.

"Azo, you are always so simple in doing things, so you will leave trouble today."

Xie Zuo's face showed a look of shame.

"Big brother, I'm ......"

Patriarch Xie waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't want to blame you." After all, he was a child of the Xie family, and he was not old enough to remember at that time, so it was normal for you to be reluctant to ask for his life. ”

Speaking words of understanding, Patriarch Xie raised his head and stared at Xie Zuo deeply, the oppression in his eyes almost turned into substance.

"But this time, we can't afford to make another mistake."

"In case Chuan'er doesn't get the imperial weapon, you have to find a way to ensure that Xie Yinian can't get the imperial weapon."

Xie Zuo nodded vigorously: "Big brother, I know, I will arrange it." ”

Xie Yinian likes the technique of dead wood in spring.

To put it bluntly, this Dao technique is to mobilize the aura of heaven and earth, and use the aura of heaven and earth to nourish flowers and trees, increase the vitality in their bodies, and thus promote their growth.

After the trial, Xie Yinian used this Dao technique to destroy all the flowers and plants of the Zhao family, adding a lot of workload to the gardeners hired by the Zhao family.

Xie Yinian didn't know the gardener's distress, he was very happy at this moment, and said to Yao Rong: "When I get home, I will cast a spell on those hyacinths you planted every day, and promise to make them grow quickly and well." ”

Yao Rong asked: "Aren't you pulling seedlings to help them grow?" ”

Xie Yinian said: "How can this be counted. Seedlings will die, and I am helping the seedlings to shorten the growth cycle. ”

Yao Rong smiled: "Then there is a lot less fun in raising flowers." ”

Xie Yinian sighed: "That's okay, I can't deprive you of your happiness." ”

Yao Rong was amused and laughed out loud.

After a long while, she stopped laughing and asked Xie Yinian, "Has the Heavenly Master Alliance announced the list and order of entering the valley?" ”

Xie Yinian nodded: "It was announced, and in the end, a total of forty-seven people passed the trial." ”

"Everyone can go into the valley for two hours, and if they don't get the emperor's approval after two hours, even if they fail, it's the next person's turn to go in."

Yao Rong asked, "How many are you in?" ”

Xie Yinian was depressed: "Forty-fourth. In this position, it is better to be directly at the bottom. ”

The three people behind him, one is a loose cultivator, and they do not belong to any family or Taoist temple; The two have never been on a mission.

Xie Yinian has participated in the He family's entrusted tasks and has obtained a lot of contribution points, and the ranking is just enough to suppress these three people.

Yao Rong smiled dumbly and said, "Tomorrow is Monday, do you wait for the results at home, or can you go and wait outside the valley?" ”

"All have to go out of the valley. If it's fast, someone will successfully contract the emperor on the first day, and they will be able to go back and forth on the same day. If it's slow, you'll have to stay there for a full week, and whether it's successful or not, all the candidates can be withdrawn after trying out. ”

Yao Rong nodded, the arrangement of the Heavenly Master Alliance was not difficult to understand.

One is for convenience, and the other is naturally to prevent the specific location of the emperor from leaking out.

"Then go pack your bags. If there is anything missing, you can go out and buy it before it is too late. ”

The food, drink, and tents were all provided by the Heavenly Master League, and Xie Yinian brought a lot of necessary things for wild camping in addition to bringing a change of clothes.

Before dawn the next day, the alarm clock set by Xie Yinian rang.

He turned off the alarm clock in a daze and got out of bed.

After taking care of it, I went downstairs with my suitcase.

The sound of the pulleys scraping against the tiles is not loud, but it is still quite present on this quiet morning.

Yao Rong heard the movement and walked out of the kitchen: "Come and have breakfast." ”

"Huh?" Xie Yinian let go of the suitcase putter and walked in front of Yao Rong, "Mom, what did you make for breakfast?" ”

Yao Rong kept the suspense: "It's the breakfast you want to eat the most." ”

"What do I want to eat the most?"

Xie Yinian doesn't remember that he and Yao Rong ordered a meal.

"You go and sit at the table, and I'll bring you breakfast. See the breakfast and you'll understand. Yao Rong turned around and went into the kitchen.

Xie Yinian sat casually, holding his chin with one hand, and his eyes fell on the kitchen door.

Yao Rong walked out with a dinner plate.

On the plate is a roasted ham sausage, two hard-boiled eggs, and a glass of warm milk.

This is a homely breakfast, far less hearty than the chef invited by the Zhao family, but Xie Yinian's eyes are hot.

When he went back to participate in the trial, he casually complained to Ms. Yao: How can there be a child who goes to the exam, and the parents send flowers instead of preparing ham sausages and two eggs.

As a result, today, he ate this breakfast.

"Eat." Yao Rong put the dinner plate in front of Xie Yinian.

Xie Yinian lowered his head, and the broken hair on his forehead fell down, slightly covering his eyebrows.

He picked up an egg from the plate and rolled it twice, silently peeled off the shell of the egg, took a big bite of the egg white and yolk, chewed it indiscriminately, and swallowed it vigorously to hide his gaffe.

It was indeed the breakfast he was most looking forward to.

Because many children have this breakfast when they go out for exams, he has never had it.

Xie Yinian took one bite after another, solved the breakfast that symbolized "100 points", and drank the milk in the cup before raising his head, raising his lips and saying, "Okay, I'm full." ”

Yao Rong touched his head and said softly, "Then go, call me if there is anything." ”

"There may be no signal in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. Anyway, I am acting with so many people from the Heavenly Master Alliance, what can I do, you can rest assured. ”：，，
