The morning fog gradually dissipated, and thousands of miles of sunshine turned into blue sky and white clouds.

The sunlight is clear, the dew evaporates into the earth's soil, and the fragrance of grass and yellow mud is gradually replaced by a sultry dryness. Yellow finches move their nests, geese fly far away, as more and more candidates gather in the mountain pass, and the elk wandering by the stream leads the cubs farther into the barren forest.

The sun was in the treetops, and the hour was approaching, and a coffin that made people feel frightened from the heart was only late.

The slender figure was as black as ink, slowly moving from east to west in the shade of the colorful trees, like a silent ghost waiting for an opportunity to shed blood. His scarlet lips smirked into a deep smile, and his brocade boots tread deep footprints in the soft dirt. Yesterday, although he only shot once, he gave people a deep fear. It was only later covered by Xia Xun's edge. Therefore, today, all the candidates who stood in his way took a few steps back in their way, not daring to get too close. Following the path away by the forces of all parties, Gu Fan carried the coffin on his back and silently walked to the front of the mountain pass before stopping.

I didn't say hello to anyone, just stood silently.

At the beginning of the day, the yellow dust of Beiguan Road suddenly rose, rolling for several miles...

In the distance, you can see that countless horses are galloping in the yellow dust. The leader was dressed in dark steel armor, wearing a black magic crown, with long red flame hair and fluffy eyes, and his eyes were as martial as lamps, and he was murderous. The skulls hanging under them are particularly eye-catching. This person is the chief officer of this year's Heavenly Trial, the Imperial Forest God General-Rolling Blind. In addition to changing into a battle armor and uniform to show off his martial arts, today he also carried a gold-carved dragon brocade box nearly eight feet long and two feet wide behind him. Although I don't know what it contains, judging from the murderous aura emanating from the brocade box, it should be a rare murder weapon in the world.

"Royal..."

"Da-da-da-da. ”

Thousands of horses galloping, rolling yellow dust.

The dead wood cracked, the wind gradually blew, and the more than 10,000 elites of the Royal Forest were poured from the north road into the small hillside southeast of the mountain pass like a flood. Tens of thousands of sergeants spread out in two ways, holding up their swords. There was no nonsense, the curtain god turned over and dismounted, and took a bright yellow scroll from the hands of the civil official, then turned around and walked to the top of the hillside, condescendingly opened the scroll to the sentient beings and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the heavenly test questions, the heroes compete for the deer!"

"It's a race against each other..."

The exam question was revealed, which caused a small burst of broken words. But it can be seen that all the forces are actually not surprised by this question.

After a pause, the curtain god on the hillside continued to read aloud: "Twenty thousand miles for the deer, choose 2,400 people to advance to the top three, and eighteen people to climb the peak to win Bodhi." Those who are the top three can worship the official and my court, and they can also enter the three layers of Tongtian to take the opportunity. Those who have attained Bodhi can ascend to heaven and take anything.

There are seven rules for the examination room:

1. Do not bring birds to the test.

2. Do not cross the line to reach the peak in advance.

3. Do not offend the patrol examiner.

Fourth, the golden bell is the boundary, and the bell ringing in the examination room for 20,000 miles will shrink to the ground by 2,000, and those who still stay outside the boundary after the bell rings for half an hour are regarded as eliminated. When the three consecutive rings are the top three, the nine-tone continuous sound is over.

5. Lingyu is a letter, and all candidates need to go to the invigilator to receive the natal spirit stone before going to the test and register it in the book. When a person dies and the jade is broken, the person descends to break the jade, and the broken is a letter of pan Huaguang, and there will be an examiner to answer.

June 10 is the wheel, every 10 square inches, east, west, north and south four passes are sent in, all candidates can take it.

Seventh, if you enter the heavenly test, you will be free from the destiny of heaven, and all people will not be bound by the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After reading it, the curtain god put away the scroll, and then swept his eyes up and down, and shouted: "The heavenly test is not child's play, you should keep in mind the above rules, especially the fifth one, if you are in danger, you can break the jade and surrender, or you can survive." Now you can collect the jade from the invigilator, and the application for the exam will be closed at noon, and those who do not enter the examination room will be deemed to have abstained. ”

“......”

With that, the shutter god will walk down the hill.

Hundreds of civil officials led their horses out of the ranks, and with the assistance of the nearby Imperial Forest Sergeants, they quickly unloaded the desks, books, and other objects on horseback, and placed them side by side on both sides of the mountain pass. Each arrangement is attended by a civil official, and behind the civil official is a red iron treasure chest, and when the treasure chest is opened, it is filled with thumb-sized jade beads. The beads are not special in appearance, but the jade color is pure and presumably valuable, which should be the spiritual jade that the Juanliang God General said.

"It's not the same as it was eighty years ago..."

"yes, how do you feel like you're playing with your life this time?"

As the rules of the heavenly test were announced one by one, there were fragments of whispers again in the field. Whether it is thinking or doubting or knowing it in the heart, the look is different. A very small number of candidates who have not yet found the power of their own aftermath seem to be particularly anxious. Some of the weaker forces, which only had a few hundred men, began to panic a little.

"Eighty years ago, the competition was carried out in an artifact, and the heaven and earth in the palm of the hand were controlled by the Almighty, and there was no possibility of the candidates being killed during this period. But... But this year's competition is a real fight. ”

On the edge of the trail on the southwest side, a force with only a few hundred centaurs suddenly cooled down after listening to the rules of the heavenly test. Their strength was already at the end of the martial arts test rankings, and they wanted to find a strongman to take refuge but were afraid of being used, so they finally had to get together. And if the test questions are so severe today, it is a fight of life and death if they enter, and for them, it is simply to send them to death.

"Didn't the chief officer deliberately remind him, the broken jade can be lowered, and he can survive. ”

"I think if we have no choice but to surrender directly, it shouldn't be to the point of fighting for our lives, right?"

A more optimistic candidate said as if comforting.

Among the hundreds of people, the leader was a man with a long stick in his arms, he shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, he just said that the broken jade can be lowered and will be accepted by the patrol invigilator, but he didn't say that the broken jade can't be killed." If you really kill the red eye, you will surrender, and the enemy can still kill you if he wants to kill you, but you can't kill him. ”

"This..."When the former heard this, the whole person softened and was speechless.

Another person next to him whispered slightly: "If that's the case, we hundreds of people will be very dangerous." Our cultivation is relatively low, and the number of people is not in the climate, as long as we enter the examination room, we will inevitably become the target of hunting by others. ”

The leader nodded: "That's right." ”

"Hey... Finished. ”

After the most optimistic man learned about the point, he suddenly became a defeated rooster, and the whole person was depressed.

"It's over, I thought I would be able to get into the top three martial arts exams, and I could fight my luck to try the top three again, but now I have to gamble with my life, what kind of national exam is this?"

"Hey, I think I'd better just abstain..."

The man was very frustrated, but in fact it was not unreasonable.

After all, for these people, being able to enter the Heaven Wai Test already has a considerable part of the luck component. Now let them gamble with their lives on the thousands of places in the top three of the heavenly test, which is really unaffordable. The atmosphere of frustration spread with the man's words in an instant, and many people had to consider the facts of what the man said, and the more timid ones had already given birth to the idea of withdrawing from the exam.

"I think we might still have a chance. ”

The leader was not infected much by the depressed atmosphere, and said in a deep voice: "If you can't do anything, break the jade in advance or escape outside the border, so that your life can be saved." Moreover, this year's Heavenly Test is not just about force, although those who are high in cultivation have a chance of winning, those who are low in cultivation may not necessarily be defeated. ”

The dejected man looked up at the speaker when he heard this: "How do you say this?"

The leader said: "There are 20,000 square inches, and there are 130,000 candidates, and the general trend is to compare tactics and strategies, can't we fight and hide? Moreover, there are 2,400 places in the top three, and we can form an alliance with the men and horses who have not yet reached this number, and advance and retreat together." In this way, even if we are targeted, there are people who can help us, and we have a good chance of winning. ”

The gentle words, like warm fireworks, instantly ignited a glimmer of hope in the frustrated atmosphere of the venue. Everyone looked around in unison, and one of the girls walked two steps to the leader's side and asked, "Who do you want to forge an alliance with?"

The leader shook his head noncommittally and said with a wry smile: "Anyone can do it, as long as you don't dislike us." ”

“......”
