On the haystack of the carriage and horse compound, Lin Yi was chatting with Hu Wan and Shen Ding.

Shen Ding muttered: "This Senior Brother Wen has been missing for a long time, and I don't know where he went?"

Hu Wan bared his teeth, smashed his mouth, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and snorted: "This kid can't be idle! He slipped out early in the morning and inquired about Dabi in the door." Before he could finish speaking, a head poked out from the courtyard gate.

"Hehe, how many brothers miss me?" Wen Lun stretched his neck and jumped out, waving at the three of them with his eyebrows fluttering.

"I miss your dried meat. Shen Ding grinned.

Wen Lun rolled his eyes and snorted: "Phew, I want to eat and buy it myself, don't always want to take advantage of my brother and me......" He rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but say to Hu Wan and Lin Yi proudly: "Do you want to know about the big competition in the door?"

Hu Wan smashed his mouth, rolled his eyes to the sky, shook his head and said, "I don't want to ......"

Wen Lun's face stiffened with a smile, and he stretched out his hand to Hu Wan and said, "Okay...... Okay, you Hu Wan, you want to know, I don't want to say it yet!" he turned his face and smiled affectionately at Lin Yi: "But I'll tell Senior Brother Lin!"

Lin nodded and smiled: "What Senior Brother Wen wants to say, my brother listened to it. ”

Wen Lun's small eyes lit up, and he glanced at Hu Wan and Shen Ding with disdain, and then said, "This inner disciple competition, our outer disciples can also watch it......"

Shen Ding pulled Wen Lun's collar and said in surprise: "What are you talking about——?"

"Ahem...... You want to strangle me!" Wen Lun opened Shen Ding's palm. The latter retracted his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, didn't you hear clearly!

"Hmph, I want to hear it, sit down honestly!" Wen Lun's smug eyebrows jumped, and he foamed at the mouth to show off the results of the investigation.

The inner disciples of the Tianlong Sect competed, and they never went to the outside, even the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall could not stand by. For some reason, this time the disciple Dabi did not have these rules. This matter can be described as great news for the disciples of the Outer Affairs Hall, and even Hu Wan and Shen Ding can't hold back their joy! They can observe the competition of the inner disciples, and it is a rare opportunity for the outer disciples to learn from it.

The three of them were all elated, but Lin Yi smiled lightly.

Wen Lun was curious: "Isn't Senior Brother Lin interested in this matter?"

"The sect is much different from the past this time, and I don't understand it in my heart!" Lin Yi shook his head and smiled.

Hu Wandao: "Whatever, these are not things we can worry about, just go and see the excitement tomorrow." Shen Ding was gearing up, jumping off the haystack and walking back and forth in the yard.

"What are you doing, pushing and grinding?" Wen Lun sneered in a low voice.

"You're the animal!" Shen Ding sneered coldly, choking Wen Lun's little eyes and rolling white.

Lin Yi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and cheered.

On the first day of September, it was sunny.

Jiulong Mountain is a festive scene. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and they were in groups of threes and twos, and the laughter was endless.

Lin Yi was also pulled by Hu Wan and the others and walked towards Charter Peak. Along the way, there were disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall, as if they were in a hurry. He didn't want to join in the fun, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Hu Wan and the others.

Hu Wan and the others kept laughing. Lin Yi, who was following behind, also had a faint smile, but his eyes were as calm as water.

A few people walked up the mountain road, and not far away, a row of disciples in blue shirts were led by a disciple in a green shirt, standing in two rows, pressing their weapons in their hands, full of spirit, and checking the waist cards of the disciples who went up the mountain one by one.

Lin Yi glanced up, and when he saw the green-shirted disciple, he secretly frowned, lowered his head and followed behind, waiting for the inner disciple to investigate his identity.

Hu Wan and the three of them presented the waist cards in turn, and after confirming, they walked forward. Lin Yi also held the waist card and handed it to the blue-clothed disciple in front of him.

The blue-clothed disciple just wanted to reach out and take it, but something changed halfway, and the waist card was taken away. Hu Wan and the three of them, who were walking in front, just saw them when they turned around, and they couldn't help but look at each other. And Lin's face did not change, and his eyes were indifferent. The blue-clothed disciple dodged backwards.

"Hmph! Let's use Charter Peak as a street market! I don't know what to say!" Playing with Lin Yi's waist card in his hand, his face was dark, and his expression was arrogant, it was the Yao Zi who had whipped Lin Yi. When he saw Lin Yi, he naturally recognized it, and couldn't help but stop him and make sarcastic remarks.

When Lin saw this person in the morning, although he was angry in his heart, he could only endure it helplessly, and just wanted to pass this level. Unexpectedly, I still couldn't dodge.

Lin Yi, whose expression remained unchanged, looked at each other lightly and stood silent.

"What's going on here, go back!" Yao Zi threw his waist card at Lin Yi.

The waist card smashed into Lin Yi's face with the sound of the wind, and Hu Wan and the others were stunned, not knowing when Senior Brother Lin offended this inner disciple.

Lin Yi's eyes shrank, staring at Yao Zi, and he didn't move. He raised his arm lightly, and with a seemingly slow and random grab, the waist card was already in his hand.

Yao Zi had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, imagining the embarrassed appearance of the kid in front of him being smashed in the face by the waist card, and then obediently leaving. But seeing that the other party's gesture was as light as dust, he took the waist card in his hand, and he was slightly stunned. This waist card was quietly used by himself, and it was by no means something that a horse breeding disciple could easily catch.

Lin Yi hung the waist card on his waist, glanced at Yao Zi with a faint expression, and Shi Ran turned around.

This kid in front of him is weird! Yao Zi secretly thought, evil from the heart, and when he was about to continue to make trouble, he saw Lin Yi turn around and leave. He glared at Lin Yi's back fiercely and snorted coldly.

The surrounding outer disciples didn't dare to say much, and Hu Wan and the others naturally didn't dare to interject, and watched Lin Yi leave with regret on their faces. Who knew that a voice sounded at this time: "Little brother go slowly!"

Everyone in the audience looked up and saw a handsome man with a short beard walking up from the bottom of the mountain.

Most of the disciples knew this person, and the person who came was Qin Ren, the senior disciple of the head of the sect, and the senior brother of the inner disciple.

Lin Yizheng was confronted by him, so he had to stop. Behind him, there was a constant greeting.

"Hello big brother!"

"I've seen Senior Brother!"

Qin Ren smiled and returned the salute with everyone, his demeanor was elegant, making everyone feel like a spring breeze. Lin Yi also secretly praised when he saw this, he was worthy of being the senior brother of the Tianlong faction, and his momentum was not bad.

"Senior Brother Yao, why don't you let this little brother go up the mountain?" Qin Ren's eyes were blazing, and his voice was clear and pleasant.

Yao Zi's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he bowed down and said: "This person is a disciple of raising horses, and he is just going up the mountain to join in the fun, so it is important to raise horses well!"

Qin Ren smiled and shook his head, "Definitely, this time the inner disciple competition has changed the routine of not being seen by outsiders in the past, it is really the intention of the head of the sect to be virtuous and benevolent, and the elders are sympathetic to the feelings of the disciples! This is the prosperity of my Tianlong Sect, how can the junior brother be so short-sighted? Isn't it not a disciple of my Tianlong Sect if it is not a disciple of my Tianlong Sect?"

"Senior brother's teachings, junior brother keep them in mind!" Yao Zi replied honestly, not daring to be disobedient. Many of the outer disciples secretly applauded, looking happy.

Qin Ren turned around and said to Lin Yi, "Doesn't the little brother really want to watch the competition of the senior brothers?"

Lin Yi looked at the back of this senior brother, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked up. Yao Zi made his debut sideways, with the appearance of a good person. However, his gaze at Lin Yi was still cold.

Hu Wan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling happy for Lin Yi.

A few people crossed a hill, and an open mountain lawn appeared in front of everyone. A wooden platform more than one zhang high stands in the middle, and behind the wooden platform of one or twenty zhang in size, there are several wooden chairs. Around the wooden platform, there are crowds, and I am afraid that there will be no one or two thousand people. One by one, they looked up with excitement.

It seems that this is the place for skill, and there is still some distance from the halfway point of the charter peak, and it is flat, wide and neat, surrounded by tall trees, and even if a few thousand people are together, it is not too crowded.

The front of the wooden platform was already crowded, and the onlookers were crowded closely. Four people could only stand at the back of the crowd. Fortunately, there is an unobstructed view from the wooden platform.

Lin Yi and Hu Wan were huddled together, and there was a noise in their ears, and it seemed that the time for the competition had not yet arrived.

Wen Lun was enthusiastic and talked to people, while Hu Wan and Shen Ding looked around. Most of the outer disciples on the periphery of the wooden platform are all inner disciples in blue shirts and green shirts near the wooden platform. Squeezed into the crowd, I also heard a lot of interesting anecdotes.

The competition lasted for three days, and the blue-shirted disciples competed first, and those who performed well could be promoted to the green-shirted disciples. The Tsing Yi disciples have to compete on the last day. Lin Yi didn't know exactly what it was, so he could only follow and see the excitement.

"Tong, Tong, Tong-" Three cannons rang out suddenly, startling the birds in the forest in the distance.

Everyone on the mountain was also lifted and raised their heads excitedly. Lin Yi looked with everyone and saw a group of people coming up one after another on the side of the wooden platform. The leader was a middle-aged man in purple clothes with sword eyebrows, followed by a Taoist priest, six elders in red clothes, and finally two men and a girl.

As everyone walked up to the wooden platform and sat down one by one, the disciples around them couldn't bear it anymore and began to whisper in amazement—

"Elder Xue and Elder Xu are out of the customs......"

"Hey—what the real resemblance of Elder Xue and Miss Mu!"

"Nonsense, people are mothers, can it not be like it!"

"Why hasn't this Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple left yet?"

"Now the six elders of our Tianlong Sect, Ma, Meng, Xu, Guo, Xue, and Rong, have all appeared, it's really rare!"

“......”

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the three Taoist priests. Elder Ma and Elder Meng had seen each other before, and the rest of the elders had appeared in front of him for the first time, and he couldn't help but look at them secretly.

Elder Ma's status in the sect is not low, but his martial arts are more advanced than those of the elders behind. Elder Xue was a middle-aged woman with a dignified face, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Mu Qing'er. Unexpectedly, Mu Qing'er's father is the head of the family, but her mother is an elder in the door.

Behind are the senior brother and the second senior brother, these two are the disciples of the head of the sect, and their identities are second only to the elders in the sect. Lin Yi's impression of the two of them is not too bad.

The last person to come to the stage was Mu Qing'er in a green dress, with a well-behaved appearance. Thinking about this person's brutal willfulness, Lin Yi secretly shook his head.

Everyone on the stage sat down, Elder Ma got up and bowed deeply to the head and the elders, and then walked to the front desk, majestically scanning the audience.

In an instant, the audience was silent.

Happy Lantern Festival!
