"Brother Lin. ”

Hearing Su Chongxiu's greeting, Lin Yi turned his head, and he said again: "Don't forget what you feel today, it will be beneficial to your cultivation in the future." With that, his gaze turned to the bright starry sky.

Lin Yi only felt that the clouds were in the fog, and he pondered the meaning of the words in his heart. Luo Caiwei finally came back to her senses, trotted to the side of the two, and asked, "Brother Lin, did you win, what happened to the beggars to help the thief?"

"Brother Lin is good at martial arts, defeated strong enemies, and then spared his life. Su Chongxiu answered for him.

"Why didn't you get rid of him?" Luo Caiwei jumped to her feet in a hurry, "The beggars have done all the evil things, and today they let the tiger return to the mountain, won't it be a trouble in the future?"

Lin Yi's gaze swept over her cheeks, and she could see anger and disgust, and then glanced at Su Chongxiu and saw that he was looking at him with a smile. sighed helplessly, and said bitterly: "I'm going to Xingyuezhai tomorrow to take the test, let's rest early." ”

Luo Caiwei was unwilling, Duan Ruyi lifted her skirt, walked down the puppet hill, took her hand and slowed down, and waited for the two to go away before she whispered: "Gongzi Lin has given you the answer." ”

"What?" said Luo Caiwei frowned.

He mentioned Xingyuezhai's entrance examination...... In other words, the spiritual officer assessment is imminent, how stupid is this to kill people in Song Jing?"

"Oh!" Luo Caiwei suddenly came to her senses, figured out the key, and quickly chased after the two people in front of her.

"Brother Lin, have you ever had a grudge with the beggar gang before?" Su Chongxiu suddenly asked.

Lin Yi thought about it for a while, and roughly explained what happened to Yan Guo, and deliberately skimmed out the details of the killing. "I see, I see. Su Chongxiu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Lin, why did you look at me just now, because you were afraid that Xiaosheng would report it to Xingyuezhai - did you fight with the beggars?"

"It's not. Lin Yi shook his head and diverted the topic: "Brother Su, while we have some free time, we will help Miss Duan collect more parts." ”

"Well said. Su Chongxiu said with a deep smile.

Several people picked up the waste, asked Duan Ruyi to select the ones that were still usable, took them back to the inn, filled the beast cart, and then went to the room on the second floor to bathe and cleanse themselves. Duan Ruyi moved some parts, put them on the table with water to scrub, and stayed up all night to make puppets.

Lin Yi was tired from a fierce battle, and fell asleep when he was young. Su Chongxiu was lying on the bed tossing and turning, his heart was shocked, and he said secretly: "Could it be that he really saw the clues, but how could Xiaosheng ever show his stuffing?"

When she woke up the next day, Duan Ruyi finally put together a simple puppet, with black circles under her eyes, crumbling, looking at the palm-sized deformed beast on the table, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep.

Then they opened their eyes, and at noon, everyone packed up their belongings and gathered in the square. The team leader commanded the convoy and rushed to Xingyuezhai, and the candidates were nervous and speechless all the way. On the way, I met the contestants from several other states, and they gathered more and more. Hundreds of people galloped away under the admiring gaze of the travelers.

The beast cart followed the river bank and stopped at the mouth of the sea, and an island rose in the water in front of it. Above is a row of magnificent buildings, surrounded on both sides in the shape of a crescent, and the whole is made of white boulders, towering and majestic, with a flat top. The waist is wrapped around a dragon-shaped box car, with a total of 12 sections in front and back, and it is attached to the building on a raised trestle.

A wide and long bridge, extending from the gate to the shore, the waves below are rolling, constantly washing the stone pillars, scattering into waves, and the momentum is magnificent. Everyone got off at the bridge, and compared with Xingyuezhai, it was as small as dust.

Su Chongxiu carried the pen case, led the green ox, and explained: "This is the Falling Star Island, which is rumored to have fallen into the sea from the stars and turned into a lonely island. In fact, it is formed by rivers flowing into the sea, carrying sediment and alluvium. ”

"That row of tall buildings above is Xingyue Zhai, right?" Lin Yi asked in shock.

Su Chongxiu nodded in acquiescence, and Luo Caiwei pointed to the box car wrapped around the building and asked, "Brother Su, what is that?"

"Dragon cart. Duan Ruyi took over, "This thing has a total of 12 sections, more than 30 zhang long, each node is connected with gold and steel, and there is a control room at the beginning and end, driven by the spirit core, it can gallop into the clouds, travel in the sky, and set the masterpiece of the Song Dynasty." ”

"Soaring clouds, this is too exaggerated......" Luo Caiwei was amazed, so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

"It's also the first time I've seen a dragon car. Duan Ruyi said with a skew, "If the information is accurate, then after we pass the assessment, we will take it and go to the eight peaks of Lingshan Mountain." ”

Luo Caiwei looked into the distance, and on the top of the Xingyuezhai Building, three more people stood on the suspended trestle, stopped for a moment, and then jumped and went straight to the river and sea, frightening the crowd below to scream.

The three men in the air, with their arms outstretched, spread their wings, rode the wind, and flew to the shore.

"What is this?" said Lin Yiqi.

"Phoenix wings. Duan Ruyi raised his head and said, "A kind of instrument, people can wear it and glide like birds." ”

Lin Yi looked sideways at the dragon cart and asked quietly, "Miss Duan, what are the beggars doing to collect spirit cores?"

Duan Ruyi thought for a few breaths, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that they also have a mechanic?"

"It's not impossible. Lin Yi fell into thought, summarized the clues during this time, and set up a big net in his mind, but the key part was still missing.

Two men and one woman gathered their phoenix wings and slowly fell on the bridge. The first man was over half a hundred years old, with white hair and a strong body. He strode towards the team leader, exchanged a few words, and his eyes fell on Su Chongxiu, with a look of surprise on his face. coughed, waited for everyone to look at it together, and said loudly: "Old decaying Xingyue Zhai Zhuping, welcome you to the fast and take the test!"

"In the next chapter of Tianzhong, I wish the old protégé. A young man next to him bowed, straightened his waist and shouted: "Please separate, the send-off people will retreat ten feet, and the candidates will gather on my side!"

The crowd was surging, divided into two groups, Lin Yihuan estimated that there were about 200 people who entered the test, and the deputy gang leader was also among them. The other party noticed something unusual, turned his head to look, took a look at Lin Yi, hurriedly lowered his head, and pressed the fire in his heart.

The woman next to Zhu Ping was dressed in a plain white robe, with wide sleeves and slim feet. Holding a silver wire in his hand, he has a clear face and a cold expression. She took a step forward, her eyes were like lightning, and everywhere she looked, the test participants trembled and their breathing stopped.

Everyone was silent, and the woman said indifferently: "Poor Dao Yaoguangfeng Ling Xuzi is the examiner of this trial. ”

"She's Ling Xuozi?!" Lin Yiru was struck by lightning and was secretly shocked. Then I remembered my mother's will, and couldn't help but take out the bag in my arms, ran over and handed it to her, and it took me a long time to barely restrain it, and my heart was pounding.

Ling Xuzi waved the dust, pointed to the bridge, and said: "Poor Dao hangs the treasure mirror at the door, and the test takers line up to go to the bridge, and when the mirror light comes, remember to make the true qi resist." For the rest of the mechanics, please replace them with puppets. ”

When the words landed, a white light erupted from Xingyuezhai, first thin and then thick, until it was three zhang square, sweeping across the bridge deck. Along the way, the stagnant water is discharged on both sides, falling into the river, hanging into dozens of trickling waterfalls.

Everyone lined up on the bridge, and when they were illuminated by the mirror, they felt stagnant, as if they were stuck in a quagmire and a deep well, and they were struggling. Duan Ruyi and other mechanics each released their puppets, and according to their motives, let them rush to the bridge deck.

Lin Yi hid the black eagle in his luggage and pulled Luo Caiwei onto the stone bridge, the white light shone, shaking his eyes so that he couldn't see, and there was a great divine power that enveloped his body, pressing his bones and rattling.

The two hurriedly urged their true qi, gritted their teeth and moved their legs, moving forward little by little. Along the way, there were those who did not help, scattered and stopped, standing in place like wooden carvings, their faces like gold paper, unable to move, and the puppets also fell apart one after another, and the spirit core rolled down, dim.

After they all got on the bridge, Su Chongxiu picked up the scroll in one hand, led the green ox in the other, and walked leisurely towards the mirror. When Ling Xuzi saw him coming, he nodded, and he smiled back.

The green bull mooed, looked at the weight of nothing, shook his head from side to side, and looked at the people who stopped on both sides with great interest, and the rear mechanics all glared and shouted: "Where is this demon!"

Su Chongxiu turned the pages of the book, lowered his head, and set foot on land, looking back, only a hundred people had successfully arrived. Lin Yi and Luo Caiwei were next to each other, tired and panting, sweating and raining.

The deputy gang leader rested against the wall with a big grin, looking at the losers on the bridge, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer, and he mocked maliciously in his heart.

A trap beast crawled up to them and fell apart, and on the other side of the bridge, Duan Ruyi's eyes were relieved, and he was afraid after stroking his chest.

"Receive. Ling Xuzi shouted softly, the mirror light suddenly disappeared, and those who stopped knelt on the spot, crying loudly, full of unwillingness.

A group of scholars ran out of Xingyue Zhai, drove the unhelpful back, and let them cry and beg for mercy, still hard-hearted. A dozen or so mechanics dragged parts on board trucks and passed by them, their eyes pitying.

Lin Yi opened the bookcase, and the black eagle inside was dying, so he quickly stretched out his palm and probed in, sending a few wisps of true qi to continue his life. When Su Chongxiu saw it, he raised his sword eyebrows, but he didn't say much, and when Duan Ruyi arrived, he sighed: "Miss Duan is worthy of being the heir of the Holy Hand, the puppet that was shoddy last night can still pass the first test, Xiaosheng admires." ”

Duan Ruyi smiled gloomily, "Young Master Su praises falsely, this time it's just a fluke, the second exam is the real one." ”

Zhu Ping took his protégés, counted the number of people, and reported to Ling Xuzi: "Ling Zhenren, a total of one hundred and twenty-six candidates have passed the preliminary examination. ”

"Poor Dao knows, let's go in. She said indifferently, waved her lotus arm, and the gossip mirror hanging on the door fell down and shrank into her sleeve to disappear. Then, he walked through the door without looking back.

"Master Zhang, you take Young Master Su's green cow to the backyard to take care of it, and the rest of the people come with me. Zhu Ping commanded and led everyone into Xingyue Zhai.

The main hall was wide and bright, and dozens of scholars were already waiting here, applauding and congratulating, and everyone also returned the salute with their fists. Ling Xuzi stood at the head of the hall, Zhu Ping asked them for directions, and read out their names in turn: "Wu Lie!"

The deputy gang leader stepped forward and raised his head and said, "So-and-so is here!"

Ling Xuzi pointed to his side, and he went over to stand still, with his arms folded, looking at everyone. As Zhu Ping recited, the number of people around Ling Xuzi gradually increased......

"Lin Yi!"

"To. Lin Yi listened to the call and stepped over. Ling Xuozi sighed lightly, looking surprised, and then snatched the guide from Zhu Ping's hand and read it carefully. After a moment, he smiled and bowed his favor to him.

Lin Yi was flattered and stood upright.

After everyone's names were reported, Zhu Ping asked the scholars to arrange their accommodation, and Ling Xuzi stopped Lin Yi and said in a low voice: "You come with me." With that, he turned and walked up the stairs.

Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded. Lin Yi was overjoyed, explained a few words to Luo Caiwei, and quickly followed.
