Ling Qianshan's shot was a killing move, and Jian Mang rushed to Zhen Xiaosheng before Jian Feng.

Zhen Xiaosheng flicked his sleeves and wanted to grab the sword, but he sighed in surprise, and staggered his hand and retreated. He dodged Ling Qianshan's sword move, but Ling Qianshan's sword continued to stab unrelentingly, as if the sword itself had its own consciousness. Seeing this, Zhen Xiaosheng was surprised in his heart, but he also had a bottom, only to see that his speed suddenly slowed down and became extremely slow, in stark contrast to the lightning-fast Lingjia sword.

The strange thing is that when the sword stabbed into Zhen Xiaosheng's chest, it seemed that this visual slowness was a virus, which infected the sword's body, making the sword also sluggish, and then Ling Qianshan's arms, shoulders, and even the whole young man were dragged into this "slow world".

Ling Qianshan only felt that his body was trapped in an invisible viscous liquid all over his body, and his whole person was dragged by something everywhere, and he wanted to roar loudly, but even the sound was out of shape, and it stopped abruptly a few steps away.

"How~?~But~Can ......"

Jian Feng is only a finger away from Zhen Xiaosheng, but it is the other side that is close to the end of the world, and eternal life and eternity cannot reach.

The two of them in the forest suddenly became a small world of their own, frozen here for a moment.

At this time, Ling Qianshan's thinking speed was already thousands of times faster than his physical ability. The inconsistency of the two greatly destroyed his balance, only to see Zhen Xiaosheng cough lightly a few times, ringing in Ling Qianshan's ears like a heavy bell buzzing, he staggered a few steps, his ears, nose and mouth were all oozing blood, and he could no longer support it, and fell to his knees with a puff. Only then did he realize that the world had returned to its original state at some point.

But it didn't mean anything to him anymore.

Ling Qianshan's body began to convulse unconsciously.

He didn't withdraw his move, but Wan Fa was forcibly interrupted in the process of casting, and the burden on his body was heavier than before, not to mention that the internal injuries suffered in Ling Qianshan's previous battle had not healed.

"Hmm!"

Ling Qianshan gasped heavily, but kept spitting blood foam. The near-death pain sent his body into spasms, and he was unaware of it. He looked up at the blue sky in the woods, and finally smiled distorted by pain.

"Do you regret it?"

A figure obscured the boy's vision.

Zhen Xiaosheng moved in front of the young man, and he asked again repeatedly: "Do you regret dying here?"

Even though Ling Qianshan knew that the next sentence was probably his last words, he still said with difficulty:

"Go... You... ..."

That's a good answer. ”

Zhen Xiaosheng nodded with satisfaction.

This was Ling Qianshan's last impression, and then he fell deep into endless darkness.

.........

Si Nan was bored playing with the weeds that were pulled down wherever she wanted, she didn't understand why Ling Qianshan and Zhen Xiaosheng had been gone for so long, leaving only her and a little sick donkey here.

The little donkey crawled wilted on the lawn, its head hanging on its side on the ground, feeling that it was going to lose its breath in the next second, as if it was going to be reincarnated.

"I said, can you really protect me?" asked Si Nanhu suspiciously.

The little donkey didn't move.

"Hey, do you know what I'm saying?" Sinan stepped forward, as if he wanted to pat the little donkey's back, only to see it turn its head sharply and glaring at Sinan.

Sinan innocently took a few steps back.

"It's amazing. ”

Zhen Xiaosheng came out of the forest in time, he slowly came to Sinan's side, and said while coughing.

"And it's smart, and having it protect you, I'm very ...... cough cough cough ...... Rest assured ......"

Looking at him, it seems that he is even sicker.

"Are you okay?" asked Sinan with a frown.

"As always, I'm used to it. Zhen Xiaosheng said. He patted the little donkey on the buttocks, and the little donkey stood up lazily and neighed with little weight or lightness.

The two horses scrambled out from behind the trees not far away, ran to the little donkey, and then bowed their heads meekly, like untouchables, who were their kings.

"What about Ling Qianshan?"

"If he has something to do, he will go first. Zhen Xiaosheng replied casually.

"Oh. Sinan got on the horse and replied.

Sinan, who has always been alert, did not show the slightest doubt in the face of such a perfunctory answer.

Perhaps, Sinan, who finally escaped alive, no longer wants to deny the authenticity of the reliance in front of him.

......

The real scenery of Jiangnan has always been monopolized only by Jiangnan City.

The nine roads and sixteen states of the Great Song Dynasty and the seventy-two counties and counties, only Jiangnan Road is the richest, known as "the tax along the way can help the world", and Shinong and industry are gathered here. At the same time, the most suitable climate, the most suitable land, and the most suitable scenery are all gathered in Jiangnan City, making the huge city seem crowded.

Sinan, under the leadership of Zhen Xiaosheng, walked through the city gate without queuing. Sinan stopped and looked at the city, and couldn't help but be in a trance.

The stone bridge of the stone slab path spreads deep with the winding and circling stream, and the bright light of the water shines in the sun, sometimes broken by the lotus canoe that shuttles under the small bridge.

The whole city, as if built on a stream that extends in all directions, is shrouded in rising mist, and at the same time, in the distance, you can faintly see the endless hills, on which there are still tea farmers at work, and the fragmented beauty is patched together in front of you, making people suspect that they are in an exotic fairyland.

remembered that not long ago, she and Ling Qianshan were still amazed by the scenery of the town. Now that I think about it, it is tantamount to a countryman who broke into the palace, and ended up using the toilet as a dormitory.

"The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy. Sinan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's really worthy of being a place in the world, and it's really like a city of immortals." ”

Zhen Xiaosheng coughed a few times and introduced her: "There are four state cities in the entire Jiangnan Road, Hangzhou City, Yangzhou City, Jiangling City, and this Jiangnan City with the name of Jiangnan. The former is more or less flawed in three places, or too skillfully carved or overly fireworks, otherwise it is a soldier. Only here, the most gratifying. Therefore, the official family also set up this place as a place to govern all the way. ”

"Little Sage Zhuang is going this way. ”

After entering the city, Sinan and Zhen Xiaosheng left their mounts, and the sick donkey took two cheap horses to play on their own. Before coming, Sinan also thought that the name of Zhenjiangnan was so majestic, and he must have been very popular when he came back, but as a result, Zhen Xiaosheng was just like an ordinary scholar, and no one paid attention to him when he walked on the road. When they entered the city, too, the soldiers stationed there did not question them or greet them, as if they did not exist.

Sinan secretly wrote these down, but he didn't ask, just followed Zhen Xiaosheng. From time to time, there are small canoes passing by him, and the gap between the waterway and the road is unexpectedly small, so small that it is almost negligible, and along the way, it is common to see rangers relying on their deep vitality, jumping on rivers, roads, and eaves. Sinan's eyes widened, she had been under house arrest in the Honglong Society, she had only heard people say such a scene, but she didn't expect that the reality was better than she imagined.

As the saying goes, "the mountains are beautiful and foggy, and it is suitable for rain and sunshine".

"In a few months, the tea will come down. When the time comes, the city will be full of roasted tea aroma, it will be very interesting. I think you're going to love it. ”

"Really?" Sinan really didn't know what the tea fragrance in the city looked like. It can be seen that Zhen Xiaosheng's understatement tone is obviously ordinary. What made Sinan even more amused was that maybe Zhen Xiaosheng didn't notice it himself, but when he introduced this city, he couldn't help but feel a little spoiled, as if this city was his child.

"Of course it's true. ”

Hearing Zhen Xiaosheng say this, Sinan became more and more fascinated, and he couldn't wait for the season to come soon. In addition, Zhen Xiaosheng also mentioned several local famous dishes, such as stir-fried fresh bamboo shoots and fungus, which is a delicacy that can win fish and meat. There is also the old duck pot in Hangzhou City, the black fish in Jiangling, and the thin horse wine in Yangzhou, which are all local characteristics, not to mention, people here will use special skills to deal with tofu, after mold frying, it smells particularly fishy, but it is extremely fragrant in the mouth.

After some small talk, Si Nan's heart swayed, and his heart had already flown to the corner of the city, but at this time, Zhen Xiaosheng stood still.

"It's here. ”

"Hmm, yes...... Here?"

Sinan looked up, they stopped at the mouth of a small alley, and there was indeed a plaque hanging inside, with the words "Little Sage Village" written on it, and that small character seemed to have been deducted. Sinan stood for a long time, turned his head to look at the academy across the bridge, the entrance of the courtyard was bright, several scholars stood at the door, and they were holding the sign of registration, even if no one patronized, they still stood upright, showing that the main family had a very good home. Not to mention, the sound of reading can be faintly heard from the wind in the academy.

"That's right, this is it. Zhen Xiaosheng said affirmatively.

Si Nanhu turned his head suspiciously, but was taken aback.

I don't know when, a strange old man stood silently in front of her, so close that she could feel her breathing, and Sinan's nose almost hit it. She took two steps back and stared at the old man suspiciously, especially when she saw that the old man was dressed in rags and a long skirt underneath.

...... Long dresses?

"I haven't finished my makeup yet. The old man opened his mouth, but it was very crisp, a youthful and beautiful girlish taste. Sinan immediately understood that the old man in front of him was dressed as a little lady, and he only heard her say to Zhen Xiaosheng, "Why don't you come early, let you come in together, don't disturb others at this time?"

"This is the man I said earlier. Zhen Xiaosheng didn't bother to pay attention to her, just the cuffs stroked slightly, and Sinan was suddenly pushed into the arms of the "old man", "Protect her, if something goes wrong, you will be asked." ”

"Yes, yes, I know. The disguised girl shrugged and bowed exaggeratedly, "Then, let's go in." ”

"What are you doing here?" Si Nan followed in, inquiring as he went.

"It's just part of the exam. If you want to enter our little sage village, you don't just rely on a recommendation. It's not time yet, there are about two or three days left, and the candidates should arrive. The girl touched her face, but when she spoke, it changed to the tone of an old man, "Little doll, you just look at it." ”

"Good. Sinan said this, but he thought of Ling Qianshan inexplicably in his heart.

She didn't know what happened to Ling Qianshan, so she just thought, if the young master of the Ling family was here, would she be able to pass the exam?

She already had the answer.
