Probably because of the name of the Heavenly Fire Sect, Shen Xiaojiu agreed to Xie Cheng's invitation to cooperate, and told him some of the information about the Ancient True Relics Mansion.

As for whether the Shen family will settle accounts with the Heavenly Fire Sect in the future, this is not within Xie Cheng's consideration.

After agreeing on this matter, Xie Cheng and Shen Xiaojiu acted separately, Shen Xiaojiu wanted to go back to the restaurant to teach the people of Tiejianmen a lesson, and as an examiner of the official examination of Jinyang Mansion City, he further intensified the contradiction between Tiejianmen and Sun Lian.

Xie Cheng was not interested in getting involved, so he casually found another restaurant, booked an ordinary lower room, and then returned to the Dao Palace.

"Greetings to the Daozun. ”

The palm lamp made it as cold as before, and there was no expression on the beautiful face, standing next to the golden red double lamp, but in Xie Cheng's eyes, it was very kind.

I couldn't enter the Dao Palace for a month, and I didn't see this cold and glamorous palm lantern envoy, Xie Chengzhi really missed it a little.

So, Xie Cheng didn't do anything serious, just sat in front of the palm lantern envoy, supported his head with both hands, and looked at the palm lantern envoy carefully, from his face to his posture, over and over again.

The palm lamp made his expression as usual, and the ancient well had no waves, and it seemed that Xie Cheng was completely regarded as air.

"I'm really amazing at carving, how did I carve it before? Not to mention anything else, in terms of carving girls, I'm definitely superb!"

The more Xie Cheng looked at it, the more he felt that the girlfriend he had carved was so perfect, it could be called a genius, even if he was asked to re-carve it again, he wouldn't be able to carve it.

I don't know how long I watched, Xie Cheng finally shifted his gaze, sat on the enlightenment futon, and closed his eyes, not to deduce the exercises, but to sort out the information about the relics that Shen Xiaojiu said.

Sitting on the enlightenment futon and analyzing and sorting it out, you can extract the most useful information in it.

Shen Xiaojiu didn't reveal much information, he could only let Xie Cheng know the general situation of the ancient real relic, and the rest of the information could not be explained until he really went to explore the relic.

First, there is an extremely powerful prohibition in the Relic Mansion, which has survived through the ages, and its power has not diminished in the slightest, and it will forcibly suppress the cultivators of the entrants into the realm of divine power.

Second, there are three areas in the relics, corresponding to the elixir, magic weapon, and exercise, if you want to go to a certain area, you must go through a specific passage, and there are many prohibitions on the passage, which is full of dangers.

Third, the environment in the Relic Mansion is dominated by flames, so for cultivators who practice flame exercises, it can be regarded as a good place to fight, and their strength in all aspects can be enhanced.

This may also be the reason why Shen Xiaojiu agreed to cooperate with Xie Cheng.

Although this information is not much and not comprehensive enough, it can be clearly seen that Shen Xiaojiu, or the Shen family, should have a deep understanding of the ancient real human relics.

It must be known that even Sun Lian and Tie Jianmen have not yet begun to explore deeply, and they only know some very superficial information, and the Shen family actually knows so clearly.

Xie Cheng was a little suspicious, the ancient real relict mansion was probably the first to be discovered by the Shen family, but it had always been secretly explored and unknown.

After all, a hundred years ago, the Shen family was just a small family similar to the Xie family in Shanyang County, but in Shen's only generation, there was suddenly a god number one, which was really incredible.

"Shen is the only one to explore that relic mansion, and there may be a reason for this. Xie Cheng groaned in his heart, and said secretly: "In three days, it will be the official examination of the Fucheng, which is a very important thing for Sun Lian, the lord of the Fucheng."

If something goes wrong, he is afraid that his official position will not be guaranteed, so he will definitely put all his energy on the official examination, and that time is the best time for the Iron Sword Gate to make a move.

However, Sun Lian should also prevent this matter, according to Shen Xiaojiu's statement, Sun Lian's designated official examination task world this time is also related to that relic mansion, and it can be turned around. ”

If it was originally possible for the Iron Sword Gate to make a move, with one more Shen Xiaojiu secretly making small moves to provoke, it was almost certain that the Iron Sword Gate would definitely start exploring the Relic Mansion during the official examination.

"Restricting cultivation and enhancing flames in the Relic Mansion is a good condition for me, and the main problem is to face Sun Lian and the people of the Iron Sword Gate. Xie Cheng thought in his heart, and said secretly: "I don't have any grudges with the Iron Sword Gate, but Sun Lian is different, and if you have the opportunity, you always have to settle your past grudges." ”

Sun Lian once used the destruction of the Xie family as a threat, forcing the Xie family to fully cooperate with the soldiers to destroy the mountain with the phoenix tail, although in the end it was not really put into action, but this is also because of Xie Cheng's strength and completed the task, otherwise, the consequences can be imagined.

......

Three days later, the official examination of Jinyang Fucheng was held.

The whole city has entered a state of martial law, and every street is guarded by guards from the Divine Power Realm in case of accidents.

In the morning, there is a literary exam, mainly to test the cultural level of the examiners, otherwise if you have no strength, but you don't know a few big words, you will make jokes.

At half an hour at noon, you can screen out those who have passed the literary examination to participate in the two rounds of official examination nether tasks in the afternoon.

Compared with the tasks that Xie Cheng has had, these two rounds of tasks are relatively simple, but they can effectively eliminate those who are not qualified, and the six people who are finally promoted will enter the final round of official examinations.

These six people can almost be regarded as the most outstanding group of the younger generation in the counties under the rule of Jinyang Mansion, most of them are in their twenties with extraordinary strength.

However, Xie Cheng didn't pay attention to these, he went directly to the final round, and the last round would not start until the evening, so he was the last to come to the examination room.

Shen Xiaojiu came earlier than him.

At this time, it is night, the starlight is sparse, but the Jinyang City is still brightly lit, and the Xiancai Pavilion next to the Yamen of the Fucheng is even more colorful, this is the examination room for the official examination, and it is the brightest.

After taking out the Black Iron Divine Order and verifying his identity, Xie Cheng came to the main hall of the Virtuous Pavilion.

The main hall is not small, but it is not big, the face is about three zhang wide, the depth is more than six zhang, the furnishings are very simple, the ground is covered with a red carpet, there are several pairs of tables and chairs, and in addition, there is nothing else.

Now that all the examiners have arrived, there is only one seat left, and Xie Cheng has no choice, so he sits down.

looked around and found that in addition to himself and Shen Xiaojiu, there were seven other people, and it seemed that in addition to the two of them who went straight to the final round, there was one other person who did the same.

As soon as Xie Cheng sat down, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a black official uniform, a black veil on his head, and a blue ribbon hanging from his waist.

It was the lord of Jinyang Mansion City, Sun Lian.

"Congratulations to all of you for making it to this final round of official examinations. Sun Lian looked around, his gaze lingered on Xie Cheng's body slightly, but not soon, and then said, "Let's start now." Take out your Black Iron Divine Decree and prepare to ......"

"My lord, I have something to say!" Suddenly, an examiner stood up and interrupted Sun Lian's words, with an unconvinced expression, he pointed to Xie Cheng and Shen Xiaojiu, as well as another person, and asked:

"My lord, we have been selected and promoted through layers of selection, and we have gone through many tests, who are they, and what qualifications do they have to sit with us?"

As soon as this person's words came out, the examination room suddenly fell silent.

The other five people also showed expressions of agreement, how fierce the competition in the official examination was, thousands of people began to participate, and only six people advanced to the final round, which shows how difficult it is.

In the end, only three people can get official positions in the official examination, and the fewer people in the final round, the better, and now three people are added for no reason, which makes it difficult for them to accept.

"Do you have any objections?" Sun Lian was not angry, his expression was still calm, and he said lightly: "This official has always been good, so don't hesitate to say what Jiang Gongzi has to say." ”

"Thank you, sir. Jiang Gongzi was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at Xie Cheng and the others, and then said to Sun Lian: "The student wants to ask the adults to take an additional test before the exam starts, so as to verify the level of these three people, whether they really have the strength to go straight to the final round." ”

"That's right, Jiang Gongzi is right. ”

"We are unwilling, and we ask the adults to fulfill it. ”

Everyone who was promoted through the normal process complied and supported Jiang Gongzi's decision.

"Jiang Hu, do you want to verify the level of the three of them?" Sun Lian asked, accentuating his tone on the word "three".

"This ...... No, no, no. Jiang Hu was also proficient, and hurriedly smiled: "Shen Gongzi was born in the Shen family, and his swordsmanship is extraordinary, so he will definitely be qualified to go straight to the last round."

Wu Gongzi is on the list of outstanding people in the Tang Dynasty, and he is extremely outstanding in the entire Tang Dynasty, and he must be qualified, as for the ...... This one, I don't know the great name?"

Jiang Hu finally set his eyes on Xie Cheng's body, in his mind, even if he couldn't squeeze out Shen Xiaojiu and Wu Gongzi, he could still have one less one, and every time he was missing, he would have more chances to advance.

"I don't have any origins, so Lord Sun should know that. Xie Cheng looked at Jiang Hu and said with a smile: "My name is Xie Cheng, how are you going to test me?"

"It turned out to be Gongzi Xie. Jiang Hu smiled slightly and said, "Since Gongzi Xie has the strength to enter the final round, his strength must be no less than that of Gongzi Shen and Gongzi Wu." ”

Is this to sow discord?

Xie Cheng was amused in his heart, and he was not polite, and said, "It should be much better than them." ”

Shen Xiaojiu smiled bitterly when he heard this, Wu Gongzi's eyebrows raised, and he looked at Xie Cheng, with a trace of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

"Uh......" Jiang Hu was slightly stunned, this unreasonable answer made his thinking break for a moment, but he immediately smiled and said: "Since Gongzi Xie is so confident, how about a competition with us?"

"I don't want to compare. Xie Cheng shook his head.

"Are you afraid?" Jiang Hu raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Xie Cheng, showed a smile, and said, "Surrender without a fight, how can such a person be qualified to take the official examination with us?"

"Who are you talking to?" Xie Cheng's joking voice suddenly came from behind Jiang Hu, Jiang Hu couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look behind, but saw Xie Cheng leaning on the wall behind the main hall, looking at him with a smile.

Jiang Hu's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately turned his head to look at Xie Cheng's seat again, and found that Xie Cheng was still sitting there.

But how can there be a Xie Cheng in the back!?

What's going on!?

Doppelganger?

Incarnation?

Seeing this scene, not only Jiang Hu was shocked, but the rest of the people also showed incredible looks.

Shen Xiaojiu's expression became more and more solemn, and a glimmer of light flashed in Wu Gongzi's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Is it more comparable?"

Xie Cheng, who was leaning against the wall, smiled faintly and slowly walked to the side of the seat, while Xie Cheng, who was originally sitting there, gradually became transparent and quickly disappeared.

Magic!

He unknowingly deceived everyone's eyes!

"You!

Jiang Hu's face turned pale, just waiting for Xie Cheng, and he couldn't even say the complete words. Eventually, he and the other five lowered their heads and said no more.

It certainly couldn't be compared.

Such an illusion is unpredictable, and compared to it, you may not even know how you died.
