Nine floors of the Meditation Tower.

Reaching the top means going to the end, and the only one.

Ning Shu stepped on the last step and officially walked into the ninth floor.

There is not much difference from the previous floors, but the scenery has changed a lot, or the mood has changed.

The carved wooden windows are ajar, and the dark red wood grain outlines the classical elegance, and the subtle wind and snow blow in from the window, then melt, and the cycle repeats.

Because it is on the top floor, you can see a lot more scenery.

Dawn.

The sky in the west was still a little dim, and purple glows could be seen above the window, and Ning Shu guessed that it might be because of his success.

Probably because the assessment was too draining, he didn't think about looking back at Lu Xingyi on the steps behind him, but looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.

The majestic mountains are hidden in the clouds and mist, and they still look mysterious under the blowing of the wind and snow, and the morning sun only reveals the slightest red light, which makes it impossible to see through.

Ning Shu stood by the window and looked into the distance, he could even see the hot springs in the mountains and forests, the snowflakes that disappeared in the blink of an eye after falling into the hot springs, and the flowers blooming in the jungle in the cold winter.

Further afield, the city behind the mountain, the Taifu study house under the mountain.

At the end of the clouds, there is a large gray and white horizon, maybe there is the sacred mountain Kunlun, or maybe there are immeasurable 100,000 mountains.

It's all in sight.

It's a sight that can only be seen from the highest vantage point.

He left Ping'an City in the spring of the thirty-ninth year, with ups and downs along the way, and even changed his life against the sky, and finally came to the most important step in his fifteen-year life in the winter of this year.

Although he got rid of the illusion of assessment, Ning Shu, who was standing by the window, still had a feeling of unreality.

He is not one of those sour literati who wants to express his nostalgia after touching the scene, but the scenery outside the window still makes his nose a little sour.

It's hard to describe how it feels now, as if the emotions that have been suppressed for too long have finally been released, and all kinds of emotions burst out as he stepped up the last staircase.

Originally, he was just an ordinary young man from a small southern town, and he went to Taifu just because he had some talent in academics and got a chance, according to normal circumstances, he should be like most Taifu students, pass the assessment smoothly or zigzagly, and then study every day, and finally step into the official career and serve the Divine Dynasty.

Those bloody slaughter villages, the cultivation full of ups and downs, the demon race, the alien race, and the struggle of his life hanging by a thread should have nothing to do with him.

But no one will know what will happen beyond expectations in the process of life passing, just like Ning Shu before was not really sure that he could defeat the prince of the demon clan and get the only place in the assessment of the back mountain of Taifu.

Since it happened, the scenery along the way should be appreciated with your heart, and the obstacles in front of you should be bravely faced.

At this moment, Ning Shu is standing here, as the only one, it is destined to make a strong mark in the process of his life, and it can even be said to be an important moment that will affect his life.

For some reason, a flock of birds flew out of the mountains and forests outside the tower, flying in the wind and snow.

Ning Shu didn't know what Lu Xingyi saw in the illusion, but whether it was the vanity that happened in Ping'an City or the chaos in the world, it was also gone away at the moment when the birds were flying.

The picture that he was unwilling to delve into in the depths of his mind had been unshackled from the moment he took out the sword.

Those painstaking anxieties at the level of consciousness are better to see a bird outside the tower gently passing sideways.

All the confusion and complexity is due to my own stubbornness in certain things.

Instead of suffering because of obsession, it is better to look at the flowers.

Speechless and choked.

Holding back the sour nose could not stop the great joy after this great sorrow, Ning Shu could understand the feelings of those ecstatic classmates when the results of the Taifu assessment were announced that day.

Because of this feeling...... It's really cool.

......

......

Ning Shu looked at the wind and snow outside the window, and his thoughts began to jump, one time it was the swordsmanship he had practiced, the other time it was the words in the book, and finally he fixed the content of his thinking on the important matter of passing the assessment of the back mountain.

He didn't know if the people watching from the outside knew that he had passed the test, so he was eager to tell those who were waiting for him.

Yuan Youtao, Jin Weiqi, Lan Qingqing, brother and sister of the Yue family......

Xie Ximeng is far away in the Northern Wilderness, should he write a letter and send it over?

In Ping'an City, it is necessary to send letters on time, do you want to write this matter, and how to say it so that Ning Anyi will not be too worried?

The trivial things in his head made Ning Shu forget the ultimate goal of climbing the tower - to become a personal disciple of sacrificial wine.

......

......

In the mountains, in front of several simple houses, three people and a cat looked at the picture in the air and smiled silently, and even the always indifferent woman in dark blue robe curled the corners of her mouth rarely.

"Unexpectedly and reasonably, the teacher would be very happy if he knew that he had accepted such a disciple. Ji Chaosheng said with a smile.

The woman in the dark blue robe nodded in agreement: "Originally, the prince of the demon clan had a chance, and his cultivation was much higher than Ning Shu's, but it was a pity that he couldn't get out, maybe this is also part of the teacher's assessment." ”

The woman has never talked much, and being able to say so much is enough to prove her affirmation of the prince of the demon clan and her satisfaction with Ning Shu.

Looking at him, it seems that he has an epiphany because of the snow flying outside the window, and this kind of understanding is also outstanding. Ji Chaosheng nodded in praise. Then he said: "Although he has passed the assessment, he still needs to walk in front of us, so he can't delay time." ”

"I'm losing!"

The little girl who was squatting on the ground rolled up her sleeves when she heard this, kneaded a pile of snow from the ground, wrapped it in her hand and wrapped it into a snowball, and before the two people around her could react, she threw it towards the mist in the air that reflected the picture in the tower.

What is amazing is that the snowball passed through the mist in the air, and from an unknown distance, it landed accurately on Ning Shu's head.

"Don't be rude, that's your little uncle!" Ji Chaosheng said with a frown.

......

......

Ning Shu was thinking about how to organize his words and facial expressions to face his friends, when he was suddenly hit on his head by a ball of snow, turned his head, and before he had time to wonder why there were snowballs in the tower, a door appeared on the originally empty ninth floor.

A door crocheted from teleportation runes.

Only then did he remember what the purpose of the Houshan assessment was.

Ning Shu took a deep breath, collected the fifty strings in his hand into the Perception Heaven and Earth, and then reached out to push open the glowing door.

What's behind the door?

It may be the kind professors, the gray-haired old gentlemen, the bookbears holding the scrolls......

It could also be a bunch of monks with advanced mana power, exuding an amazing momentum......

And I will be a part of them.

A burst of light flashed, and Ning Shu opened his eyes and looked around.

It was white, and the strong visual contrast made his vision a little blurred.

A woman in a dark blue robe, a man in a white robe, and a little girl......

These people themselves seem to have seen them somewhere.

is not as old-fashioned or serious as he imagined, all he can feel is some warm gaze, and there is an inexplicable feeling of home.

It took a lot of effort in the assessment process, but at this moment, in such an atmosphere, a tight string was put down, Ning Shu's eyes were black, and he fell down to the white snow behind him, and the last thing he saw was a string of cat's paw prints in the shape of plum blossoms on the snow.

......

......

Purple light to the top.

There was an eerie silence outside the tower, but it was still quiet after the silence.

It's not that people don't know what the purple light represents, but it is precisely because they know what the purple light represents, so it takes a long time to digest such a result.

There may be a lot of disbelief in this process, so most people are waiting for the Taifu to announce the final results.

In case the purple light shines, it does not mean that it is the final result, in case the red gold light disappears, it enters the other assessments, in case the assessment does not end......

It is precisely because of the gap in the realm and reputation of the two that although such an idea sounds a little unreasonable and even far-fetched, there are still many people who insist on it.

So his eyes converged on Professor Yu, who was in charge of presiding over the assessment of the back mountain on the stone floor, or a scroll that fell in his hand.

Professor Yu didn't stay here last night, but he was the first to know the result, and from the moment he got the scroll and learned the result not long ago, a very complicated emotion spread.

The joy of seeing the first grade of the book is more joyful.

A shock that is more shocking than knocking on a student's cultivation casually.

I am more gratifying than seeing the students I have taught contribute to the Divine Dynasty.

Of course, everyone knows the identity of this old professor who can be responsible for presiding over the assessment of the back mountain, when the famous cultivators of the Divine Dynasty today, as long as they come out of Taifu, most of them have accepted the guidance of the old professor, then the old professor is of course qualified to read out the results.

The demon clan guard looked at the uncertain look on the old professor's face, and the knuckles on the chair handle trembled, always feeling that he would hear the results he didn't want to hear.

It's just that...... How is this possible?

Professor Yu felt the various eyes coming from all around, untied the golden thread on the scroll, unfolded it in the wind and snow, and said slowly: "The final winner of the Houshan assessment is ......."

The final answer to the assessment of a day and a night will finally be revealed at this moment, looking at the top of the tower that has returned to the ordinary, everyone holds their breath, this will be a major event between heaven and earth.

Not the heart of the Zhou Dynasty Taifu.

It is rumored that there is a saint in the back mountain of Taifu.

The most mysterious sacrificial wine selector.

How can the results of such a background not be expected?

The prince of the demon clan came from thousands of miles to refer to it.

The preemptive strike of the mysterious boy in Taifu.

Such conditions are enough to attract everyone's attention.

Who can become the heir of this great inheritance between heaven and earth? It was in Professor Yu's words in the next moment.

"Taifu Ningshu. ”
