Walking out of the door, the sun was already thin, and a cold air was coming, but fortunately there was no wind today, but a few of the children who were wearing less clothes were still shivering with cold.

There were several blue-shirted swordsmen standing at the door, and it was vaguely obvious that the gate on the street had long been closed.

Probably seeing the chaos of the crowd, the young scholar stared at him and shouted: "Quiet!"

After all, they were some little dolls who had never seen the world, and they were suddenly frightened and silent, and several of them were about to cry when they saw their appearance.

With the help of the swordsmen, the children lined up in two rows.

The team was lined up, the scene was quiet, and the young scholar Shi Shiran said: "Next, follow me to the headquarters to participate in the test, and only those who pass will be considered to have officially joined the Jade Hall, but if they can't pass it, they will be repatriated." ”

Seeing that someone was muttering again, he snorted coldly, and his voice was flat and without a trace of emotion: "If you don't listen to the command and make a lot of noise, you will be repatriated directly." ”

A cold light shot out of his eyes, and he swept around, and the field was suddenly silent.

The young scholar nodded with satisfaction, and led them out of the courtyard through the back door and towards the headquarters halfway up the mountain.

When you come to the bottom of the mountain, you can see a narrow and curved stone staircase, leading to the mountainside.

There are many houses looming on the mountainside, and the dense pine forests on both sides of the stone steps look like an ocean in the setting sun. In the early spring, the snow and ice have not yet melted, and white light can be seen everywhere in the forest.

As you continue to climb, you can vaguely see that in the pine forest on both sides of the stone steps, there are all kinds of birds and birds and other small animals, and the sound of birds and insects rises and falls, each leisurely.

Shen Yun suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and sighed softly, maybe he was more suitable to live in the forest.

Looking back, the houses at the bottom of the hill seem to have become much smaller, and the fields are like carpets of different colors, white and green. There are also many ponds of various sizes, dotted with mirrors, and the water surface sparkles and shines in the setting sun.

The chill on the steps was even worse, but after walking for a while, all the boys were warm.

Climb to the top, only to see a spacious and huge square in front of you, with a width of about 30 zhang, and a depth of more than 10 zhang, all of which are spliced by very neat rectangular bluestone.

The north end of the square is a huge hall, there are two white marble stone lions that are more than one zhang high in front of the palace door, noble and solemn, the door plaque "Jade Hall" three crimson big characters dragon flying phoenix dance, unruly and untamed.

There are also two rows of pavilions on both sides of the square, and the shadows of people can be faintly seen.

In front of the main hall, a burly man in a black suit stood quietly with his hands in his hands, and his cold gaze swept towards everyone.

The children were too frightened to squeak, and as the blue-shirted swordsmen fiddled, they stood in three lines.

Seeing that the whole team was finished, the big man in black walked back and forth in front of the team with his hands behind his back, and looked at everyone: "My name is Tian Ying, you can call me Elder Tian." ”

"Today, the entrance test is about to be held, and those who pass will become the registered disciples of my Jade Hall. After a pause, he said, "Maybe you don't know that Cuiyutang belongs to the Qiqiao Gang, and the Qiqiao Gang is the number one gang in Jingzhou!"

"In the first year after becoming a registered disciple, you will be selected again, and those who excel can become official disciples, and some of you may become disciples of the hall master in the future, or even become elders and Dharma protectors. ”

"What happens in the future is up to you!"

After the black-clothed man said that, he looked at the group of little children with a smile, and saw that several of them were already excited and flushed, so he nodded with satisfaction, waved at several swordsmen and announced, "Let's start preparing." ”

Just now, when Elder Tian was speaking, a few gray-clothed servants came over and brought a set of bright yellow tables and chairs, and at this time, the young scholar was sitting there, waiting to register.

The content of the test is very simple, it is Zama step.

"Zamabu?" Shen Yun sighed secretly, if it was better than climbing the mountain, he was very confident of winning the top few.

Zamabu had practiced with Guo Long a few times earlier in Jiayuan City, and he was very afraid of that, but Guo Long was very good at it, and he practiced almost every day.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Guo Long, and it just so happened that Guo Long also looked at it with his eyebrows fluttering, and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Elder Tian sat down and announced the beginning of the test.

Shen Yun posed and sank into the dantian, but after only a while, he felt that his legs were sore and his arms hurt.

Peeking at a glance, several of them were stable, and Guo Long was too, but most of the boys were crumbling and falling down at any time, so they were a little relieved and gritted their teeth and insisted.

With a "poof", the first child who couldn't hold on fell down.

Immediately after that, the sound of falling to the ground was endless, and Shen Yun also felt very strained, trembling all over, dizzy, and only a breath of qi was left to support him, and he didn't even remember when he fell.

After being helped up by the little girl, I realized that I had fallen too early, and there were still ten children still holding on at the moment. Shen Yun's face was a little ugly, although he was not at the bottom, but whether this score could enter the Jade Hall was bottomless at all.

According to the instructions, I walked to the corner of the square to line up, and a group of children there looked lonely.

At this time, it was not early, and the red lanterns under the eaves of the main hall had already been lit, and the corridors that illuminated were bright, and the lanterns around the square were also lit, although they were not as bright as under the eaves, they could also be seen clearly.

The light of the lantern could not shine into the center of the square, and in the dim moonlight, Guo Long could be seen sweating profusely, blushing and having a thick neck, but he was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

The crickets around him kept screaming, and Shen Yun was restless.

Finally, the test is over.

Guo Long's results are good, ranking fourth, and Shen Yun is much worse, eleventh.

These boys with poor grades all looked listless, and the boys with better grades all looked good-looking, smiling, especially Brother Yan, who ranked third, was even more proud.

"It seems that everyone is doing very well. Elder Tian stood up and looked at everyone and smiled slightly, "Okay, now let's go to dinner first, and then move on to the other tests." ”

Hearing Elder Tian say this, even the boy who had the lowest grades just now had his eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Shen Yun is too, and at the same time secretly praying that the next link will be simpler.

On the right side of the square, there is a row of very large wings, which are restaurants.

The wing houses are built on the mountain, and the southernmost wall is a foot away, and you can see the steep cliffs like a wall, but the cliffs are not too high, and a little lower is countless winding ancient pines.

Under the leadership of Xiao Wu, a group of disciples quietly came to the dining room.

The aroma of roast pork is very strong, mixed with the fragrant taste of white rice, and many children immediately swallow their mouths.

At this time, many disciples were already eating, and their group of new children, with the help of the little ones, lined up to receive the rice bowl.

Shen Yun looked around and found that the disciples were all wearing blue shirts, including the young scholar, who lined up quietly one by one.

The servants, dressed in coarse linen clothes, were busy doing things, and none of them were waiting in line for food.

In the entire restaurant, there were no people in the same costume as Elder Wada, and obviously, those high-ranking Dharma protectors and elders did not eat here.

The food was very good, with a plate of meat, a vegetarian dish, and a big bowl of rice.

Several children dressed in tatters suddenly had their eyes lit up, smelling the fragrance of the food, and their faces were full of enjoyment.

For the poor children who ate this meal without eating, it was simply a supreme delicacy.

As soon as he sat down, Guo Long came over with a plate, squeezed his eyes, sat down, and lowered his head to eat. Shen Yun grinned, picked up a piece of fatty meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and began to pick up rice.

Peeking at a glance, those blue-shirted disciples were actually the same as their own food.

After the blue-shirted disciples finished eating, they left separately, while Shen Yun and the other newcomers were notified before the meal that they should wait in place after eating, so they all sat there obediently and waited with peace of mind.

The little servants were busy cleaning up the leftovers one by one, and it was their turn to eat with the servants in the kitchen.

"Brother Yan, what are the next tests?" a boy asked Brother Yan for news with a smile on his face.

"There is no other test, unless you have a negative qualification, you must be in the top eight. Brother Yan turned his head, pointed to the little guys in the kitchen and said with a smile, "The rest will either stay as little servants or be repatriated." ”

Shen Yun's face turned white when he heard this, he was afraid that Guo Long would pass and he would be repatriated, would it be possible to stay and be a servant?

Looking at Guo Long, both of them could see the anxiety and worry in each other's eyes.

A boy with the same pale face squeezed out a smile and asked flatteringly, "Brother Yan, is there no other chance?"

Brother Yan squinted at the other party, and said thoughtfully: "It's not nothing, it's just ......" suddenly stopped talking.

The boy was about to ask again, when he saw the blue-shirted scholar walk into the dining room, looked at everyone and explained, "Have you eaten all of them?" ”

This time, the line was fast, and everyone followed the young scholar through the side door of the restaurant through the ear room and came to the top of the main hall.

Elder Tian was sitting on the Taishi chair on the side of the main hall at the moment, and when he saw that everyone was here, he stood up and looked forward to himself: "Next, carry out the next round of tests, and whoever calls the name will enter." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to an ear room door on the other side of the hall, and then walked in first with his hands behind his back.

Shen Yun was still thinking about Brother Yan's words, only to hear a shout from the ear room: "Fang Yuanzheng." ”

A sturdy boy began to fight, his eyes still a little confused, when a young man walked briskly and pointed to the door on the left side, and the boy woke up like a dream, and hurried to the door.

The order of entry is actually according to the ranking of the first round of tests just now, and after entering, it did not come out again until the second name was called.

The third is Brother Yan, and Shen Yun knew that his name was Li Yan.

Then came Guo Long.

The boys were called in one after another, and after a while, they only heard a voice from inside: "Shen Yun." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yun hurriedly stood up, took a deep breath, and walked towards the door on the left.
