After making up his mind, Hao Lin once again devoted himself to cultivating day and night, but this time he was not in a hurry, and every morning he exercised for an hour of basic training, and an hour of mental Liuhe Fist, and then continued to cultivate.

17 years old is the age of curiosity and rebellion, and Haolin suppressed his inner restlessness and devoted himself to walking his own path in the martial arts hall, a lonely road.

"Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, I'm 18 years old, and I don't know when I will be able to succeed in cultivating. Haolin walked on the streets of Moqiu Town, looking at the lights everywhere and beaming, but all this had nothing to do with him.

It was night, Haolin felt the staff of his mind again, drowsy, he had had an experience and knew that he might experience life and death again.

The pain came as promised with the introduction of a wisp of aura, collapsed on the bed, and Haolin, who was trembling all over, tried to keep himself awake, his originally ruddy face had become sallow white, and his head was like a thousand needles, panting heavily, and finally he couldn't resist the body's instinctive reaction, and fainted, and the aura of the Baihui acupoint was like the previous time, pouring down from the top of his head, covered in blood.

Mechanically scrubbing the futon in his hands, Haolin was full of thoughts.

It's not a way to go on like this, and I don't know when this mixed yuan trick will be successfully cultivated, every time I want to break through, I will always fall into a coma inexplicably, the aura of Baihui acupoint doesn't know where to go, and I don't know when I will be considered successful in cultivation, I still have the heavy responsibility of finding grandpa and Qian'er, and the silver left by Aunt Zhou will be spent sooner or later, what should I do. Go to Huangyan City first, find a way to enter Huangyan Academy, if you can't cultivate, at least there is a way back.

Every month, there is a caravan in Moqiu Town to Huangyan City, Haolin inquired about the day, and it happened that the day after tomorrow was the day when the caravan departed.

The sun has not yet risen, and at the east gate of Moqiu Town, a lot of people have gathered, some with bags on their backs, some with carriages, it seems that they are all going to Huangyan City, Haolin doesn't know any of them, only knows that following them, you can reach Huangyan City.

The group followed the caravan and set off lively, walking along the road in the direction of Huangyan City, slowly, the tall green trees on the side of the road turned into dwarf shrubs, and then turned into endless loess earth, and there were all kinds of gravel on it, and from time to time a gust of wind blew, rolling up a burst of dust.

"Bah, bah, bah..." Spit out the dust in his mouth, Haolin looked around, and underestimated: "The environment here is really bad, it can't be compared with Moqiu Town, the sun is hot and dead, and you have to keep eating ashes." ”

"Young man, what is this bit of wind and sand, you haven't seen a real sandstorm yet, if you don't find a place to hide, you can directly sweep people away, roll them into the air, fall down, tsk. An old man driving a carriage next to Haolin looked at Haolin and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man who led the caravan pointed to the distance and shouted: "Old man Qi, you crow's mouth, look at what is over there!"

Hao Lin looked over, only to see that the sky over there was already a little dark, and the yellow sand in the sky was slowly sweeping towards this side with a devastating momentum.

The quick-response people in the caravan had already jumped out of the carriage, "Hurry up and drive the piles, fix the goods, and everyone will help." ”

The people in the caravan should have encountered this kind of thing often, some people took out a bunch of door-shaped iron rods, some people took out sledgehammers, and some people moved out long ropes, Haolin and Duan Fengcai had never experienced this kind of thing, so they could only stay and watch, but they were not worried, and it seemed that there should be no problem looking at the caravan.

The sandstorm seemed slow at first, but it was so far away that by the time everyone had made the stakes and the cars were secured, they could already feel the sand and dust hitting their faces.

"Hurry up and grab the stake, hold on to it, don't let go, close your eyes, lower your head, and cover your mouth and nose with your clothes. After one of the caravans finished shouting, he immediately grabbed the stake and squatted down.

The sky darkened instantly, Xiaofu himself got into Haolin's clothes, Haolin clung to the ground stake, let the sand and stones lap on his body, and felt as if the sandstorm was going to pull him up from the ground.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind and sand gradually subsided, and everyone stood up and cleaned up the sand and dust on their bodies.

At this time, Old Man Qi spoke again: "This time, the sandstorms are much bigger than the previous ones, you see that the ground is covered with a thick layer of sand, and the road behind is even more difficult to walk." Alas, let's start with the pile. ”

The crowd began to get busy again, and set off again.

The afterglow of the setting sun stained the city wall red, looking at the towering Huangyan city wall not far away, Haolin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally arrived before dark.

Approaching the city wall, Hao Lin saw that there seemed to be a layer of light curtain outside the city wall of Huangyan City, and there were many strange symbols circulating on it, so he asked the old man Qi: "Old man, what is the light curtain outside the city wall, it's amazing!"

Old man Qi pretended to touch his beard deeply: "That is the big protective array, after the city gate is closed, the entire formation has no flaws, the inside can't get out, the outside can't get in, the big protective array here is mainly used to resist the wind and sand and wild beasts." ”

When Haolin heard that it was a formation, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a book in the book left by his grandfather called "Formation", he didn't read it carefully at the time, but he also wrote it down, "Go back and study it carefully." Haolin muttered in his heart.

"Bell, bell, bell" There were suddenly three rapid gongs in the city, which resounded through the sky, and the old man in the lead changed his face: "It's not good, go quickly, it's getting dark, and the city gate is about to close." Immediately the people hurried toward the city gate.

After thanking everyone, Haolin inquired all the way to the address of Huangyan Academy, stayed near the academy, and asked around how to enter Huangyan Academy.

Huangyan University is the only comprehensive college in the vicinity, and the college has a variety of courses, including literature, martial arts, medicine, pill medicine and other disciplines. Every big city will have one such academy, which provides learning opportunities for young people in the surrounding villages and towns, and also selects talents for the national society. Those who are extremely excellent in their studies can be recommended by the college and have the opportunity to enter the only national college for further study.

The conditions for entering the college are also very simple, as long as you have money, the annual tuition fee is one hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to half a year's income of ordinary people. The college also has a variety of tasks, and students can get bonuses for completing tasks, and those who excel academically can also get bonuses.

"Why didn't you cultivate?" Hao Lin wondered in his heart, "Ask the people who recruit students in the academy tomorrow." ”

The next day, Hao Lin came to the gate of Huangyan Academy early, and was just about to go in, but was stopped by two guards: "What are you doing, you are not allowed to enter casually here!"

Haolin saluted and said, "Hello, I want to enter the academy to study, and I am here to sign up." ”

The guard looked at him for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "Do you have a letter of recommendation? Without a letter of recommendation, you are not allowed to enter!"

Haolin was puzzled for a moment, when he inquired about the admission conditions yesterday, he didn't hear about any recommendation letters.

"Then where is this letter of recommendation going to go?" Haolin asked politely.

"Go, go, don't stand in the way, find your own way. The guard walked away impatiently.

Haolin could only reluctantly turn around and leave, ready to ask the people at the inn to inquire, this was a middle-aged man who seemed to be honest and greeted him, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, are you going to sign up for the academy?"

Haolin hurriedly saluted: "Yes, big brother, the doorman said that he needed a letter of recommendation to get in, do you know what to do with the letter of recommendation?"

"The letter of recommendation is not easy to get, it can only be obtained by some big families, but the guard at the door is a relative of my family, I can let him be accommodating and let you in." The middle-aged man whispered.

"Really, that's really thank you, big brother" Haolin heard this, thanked him repeatedly, and walked to the door.

"Hey, hey" The middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed him: "That, little brother, there is no letter of introduction, let you in, he has to take the risk, he has no relationship with you, this is not appropriate, but if you give me ten taels of silver, I will invite him to a meal, and say that you are my nephew, so it is logical, isn't it?"

Hao Lin frowned, thought for a while, took out ten taels of silver, and smoothly entered Huangyan Academy.

The middle-aged man looked at Haolin's back, and the two guards smiled with a smile: "I met another stupid person." ”

Huangyan College is very large, occupying one-third of the entire southern part of Huangyan City, although the yellow sand outside the city is sky-high, but the college is full of green trees and flowers, full of vitality.

When I came to the admissions office, the teacher in charge of admissions was warm and thoughtful.

"Young man, have you ever been to school before, do you know how to read, where do you come from, what do you want to learn?"

"Teacher, what can you learn in the academy?" Haolin asked politely.

"Our college has literature, martial arts, medicine, pill medicine, and instrumental science, what do you want to study?"

"Teacher, can you cultivate in the academy?" Hao Lin never forgot his cultivation.

"Cultivation?" The admissions teacher's eyes widened, looking at Haolin like a fool, which made Haolin panic for a while, and then, the admissions teacher smiled: "Cultivation is not something that can be learned casually, our academy doesn't have it, it has to be available in Yinghai Academy." ”

"Yinghai Academy?" Haolin wondered, "How do you get to Yinghai Academy?"

"It is the only national college in our British and Haihai countries, it is very far from here, and the enrollment is very strict, three outstanding students are selected from each college every year to enroll, and they also have to examine their qualifications, temperament, birth, etc., but they can not go to school with money. ”

Haolin nodded frustratedly: "Oh. Then I'll sign up for a martial arts class. ”

"The martial arts class is full this year. You can change it. ”

"Then I'll report the pill pharmacy. ”

"Okay, Fang Tao, come, take this junior to your Uncle Sun. "The admissions teacher summoned a teenager about the same age as Haolin.

Watching Fang Tao leave with Wang Haolin, another admissions teacher next to him who had not spoken all the time spoke: "Old Mo, isn't the martial arts class still full......?

"Hey, don't mention it, the old man Sun Linshan of the medicine garden has been yelling at me to find him a medicine garden, I look at the stupid boy is very honest, I guess he was also cheated by the guard, I see that he is not a martial arts material, just send it to the old man Sun, save me from annoying me later." ”
