Chapter 100: Parting
Hearing this, Yang Hejiu nodded slightly, but everyone was puzzled in their hearts.
Since Yang Hejiu came to guard the students who participated in the examination, there was no reason to let him go back when he came here.
Because according to everyone's thoughts, the most dangerous thing should be on or over this bridge, except for Xu Changan and those people, the rest have just met with this gentleman.
What's even more strange is that since it is the intention of the dean, how can Ju An let those children of the official family come to convey it?
You must know that the Spirit Academy never participates in court affairs, and the gentlemen in the Spirit Academy will not have any friendship with any official.
But Yang Hejiu didn't doubt the words in that man's mouth.
It is true that the Spiritual Academy is not involved in the affairs of the court.
The purpose of the existence of an academy is to educate people, so most of the officials in the DPRK and China have studied in the spiritual academy, and there are even more students in this group.
Therefore, Yang Hejiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, since it was his teacher's intention, then he should abide by it.
Xu Changan looked at Yang Hejiu, stared at the stone bridge again, and said with some reluctance: "When are you leaving?"
From Beichang to the Jing Dynasty, Yue Qi State, and then through Western Chu to the Taiyin Mountain in the west, from north to west through thousands of miles to this stone bridge.
Obviously, there was Wangshu Tower in front of him, but the dean seemed to be just letting his students pass this distance, and he didn't plan to let him reach Wangshu Tower.
Xu Chang'an was not surprised by this, because as early as in the letter of Senior Brother Yang Hejiu in Sifang City, he said that although Yang Hejiu's teacher asked him to accompany him to the building for the test, the real purpose was just to let his students go out and practice.
Therefore, Xu Chang'an only has reluctance in his heart.
In the group, he has been in contact with Yang Hejiu for the longest time, and it has been almost half a year since the two met in Sifang City last year.
Now Xu Changan still holds the black sword that Yang Hejiu gave him as a birthday gift.
In the past six months, Yang Hejiu has accompanied Xu Changan through the longest distance in his current life.
It's not just the road, it's life and death.
It's only half a year, which may be short for an adult, but if you put it on a ten-year-old child, it's long enough.
Therefore, getting along day and night for half a year is very important to Xu Changan, but I don't know that getting along for half a year is also very important to Yang Hejiu.
Since he was brought to the Spirit Academy by the dean when he was a child, he has never spent so much time with others except for his own teacher and senior brother.
Yang Hejiu wants to return to the Spirit Academy, which means that everyone is going to be separated here, and they may meet again, but that is also when they arrive in the capital.
"When you cross the bridge, I'll go. ”
"Will we still meet?" Xu Changan asked softly as he looked at the black sword in his hand.
"Yes. Yang Hejiu nodded and replied.
Xu Changan raised the black sword and smiled happily: "You can't lie. ”
Yang Hejiu bowed slightly, "Yes." ”
Xu Changan nodded slightly, but never said anything to persuade him.
If it were someone else, this young man might still say something don't believe him, but what Teacher Yang Hejiu said was useless no matter how much persuasion he tried.
When he was in Sifang City, Xu Changan was already clear about this fact.
Jiang Ming didn't persuade either, she just stared at the stone bridge in front of her and wondered, "Could it be that there is something on this bridge?"
The monk waved his hand and said proudly: "Isn't this clear, the dean is afraid that something will happen to his students on this bridge, so he let him turn back the way he came, saving any danger." ”
......
Hearing this, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched violently, but only the monk still maintained that smug look.
Even the great cultivators of the Three Realms can't guarantee that nothing will happen when they step on this bridge, and if their group of people want to cross the bridge, won't they be sent to death?
Xu Changan struggled to stabilize his mind, and looked at the monk who couldn't figure out the situation and still maintained a smug look, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Amazing! Why don't you try it first and verify your conjecture." ”
How could the monk not be able to react when he saw everyone's expressions?
The smile on his face froze instantly, and he hurriedly took two steps back, a little farther away from the stone bridge, for fear that he would be involved in the slightest.
came to Yang Hejiu's side and said sincerely: "That, I just came to see if there was any danger, and now that I see danger, that's enough." ”
Yang Hejiu was puzzled and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to go back with you!"
Everyone couldn't help but despise this monk in their hearts.
At first, I was a little curious about why this monk, who was obviously beyond the scope of a teenager, also came to participate in the entrance test, but now my curiosity has been filled with contempt in my heart.
Xu Changan had an idea, took a closer look at the faint hundred-foot-tall building on the other side of the stone bridge, laughed twice and turned back: "I also just remembered something, I wanted to come and see this building, and now I have seen it, so... Hey. ”
Xu Chang'an was the youngest in the group, and he was so scared that he wanted to retreat when he stood here, which seemed normal to others.
It's the same with other people's thoughts, if you can't participate, you won't participate, after all, no one will force him to participate.
But these words are obviously scolding Lin Ying for not being human...
You must know that when the two first met in the south, they rode the same horse for thousands of miles, and the idea was to watch each other's provinces run away halfway.
And this idea was first put forward by Xu Changan in order to hide the embarrassment that he couldn't ride a horse.
Now I want to slip away, I want to be beautiful!
In the end, Xu Changan had to squat in front of the stone bridge with a bitter face, looking down at the gray footprints on the white stone bridge that should be about the same size as himself.
Everyone is waiting for someone to take that first step.
The scene began to be extremely quiet, and the cheerful and teasing atmosphere of climbing the mountain was no longer there.
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
It wasn't that Lin Ying jumped up with a spear in his hand and rushed over, Lin Ying's silver spear was always in his hand, and his footsteps had just been raised.
The sound came from far behind the crowd.
The monk jumped on the hill and shouted loudly, waving his arms vigorously.
"Donors, two beauties! Monk, I'll go first! If you can survive, we'll meet again! Sir! I'm waiting for you halfway up the mountain! I don't have any money!"
......
......
Lin Ying slowly lowered the foot he raised, and the snow under his feet began to panic, a row of black lines appeared on his forehead, and the silver gun in his hand clicked.
Jiang Ming also frowned slightly.
Everyone looked back, this monk, just ran away?
I thought that he was just laughing to relieve the atmosphere or thinking about how dangerous it was to scare everyone, but I didn't expect that he really ran away in a smoke, and he didn't forget to show off before running.
Xu Changan was even more angry, and instigated Lin Ying to say: "Fly the gun in a hundred steps and stab him to death!"
Lin Ying snorted coldly, ignored the monk, and walked forward with his feet raised again.
Whatever the mystery of this bridge is, you will know when you walk through it.
The stone bridge is not long, only more than ten zhang, and it is indeed full of holy atmosphere.
Lin Ying raised his feet and took the first step.
Everyone stood at the head of the bridge and seemed quieter, all carefully watching what would happen on the bridge, but they couldn't see anything.
I only knew that there was something wrong with her state, and there was no painful expression of grinning teeth, and there was no sign of trembling.
But everyone could see that something was wrong, and that was because Lin Ying was walking very slowly.
If it's just a bridge crossing speed, it shouldn't be so slow.
Xu Changan could still see that Lin Ying's hand holding the silver gun was also a lot more relaxed.
No pain, no sadness, it looks more like a lost.
This sense of loss is not like not knowing where to go when everyone got lost in the territory of Chu not long ago, but more like someone pointed out two completely different directions to themselves in that environment at that time but didn't say anything.
This makes it impossible to understand which path is right and which is wrong, and naturally does not know which way to go.
The talisman under the bridge is the spirit of the town, and if someone steps on the stone bridge, the formation will be activated by itself.
The Soul Suppression is not aimed at the cultivation of the Origin Aura to temporarily turn the practitioner into an ordinary person.
If this is the case, it will definitely be a great good thing for Lin Ying, who has not practiced or practiced martial arts, like Xu Changan.
But the current situation is that Lin Ying has fallen into that formation.
This shows that the talisman is aimed at something deeper, directly hitting the heart, so the process on this bridge is actually a choice for the heart.
Those who can stand out among the many young powerhouses and enter the Wangshu Tower have a great chance of being able to enter the ranks of great cultivators in the future.
So it seems that this bridge is not just deliberately aimed at those who come to participate in the test, so that they can go home honestly, and not think about hugging their thighs every day.
It's more like helping them see their hearts so that they can make the right choice in the future.
The choice seems to be very simple, when you don't know how to choose, just throw a copper plate and choose it casually.
However, the casual way of choosing to throw copper plates often means that no matter which choice you choose, you can accept it.
But there was no copper plate thrown on this bridge, because they didn't know what was on the bridge, and they didn't know what terrible things would happen if they chose the wrong one.
What's even more terrifying is that on this bridge, they don't know what is right or wrong, and they don't know if they are choosing the right one.
This is the main reason why most of the test takers failed to cross the bridge.
The group held their breath at the head of the bridge and didn't dare to come out, stretching out their heads to watch Lin Ying's changes carefully.
Lin Ying had already walked half the distance at this time, and his speed was still so slow, and he occasionally stopped for a moment as if he was hesitating something.
Xu Changan hurriedly asked while Yang Hejiu hadn't left yet, "Lin Ying, what's wrong?"
Yang Hejiu shook his head slightly, "I can only see that there is no danger, judging from her state, she should be making some choices." ”
Xu Changan asked, "Is it really dangerous?"
Yang Hejiu nodded, "It's really not dangerous." ”
Jiang Ming sneered, "I didn't expect you to care about her." ”
Xu Changan's eyes turned slightly, he waved his sword, stretched his legs, and said indifferently: "If there is no danger, I am ready to go over and have a look." ”
......
Hearing Yang Hejiu say that there was no danger, everyone looked at the white stone bridge and was eager to try.
