The face is like wax, and the snow is boundless.

Fang Yuan chess competition, the ups and downs of the main competition?

The seven-foot sandalwood whisk yarn for half a day, and finally entered the clouds to reflect red makeup.

The north goose flies in the south and the glow is colorful, and returns to the Xiangguo Temple with the night.

Things in the world are always wonderful, it is a coincidence and providence that makes people, and flowers do not necessarily bear fruit. The chess game in the small building had no ending, and the men and women who played the game played a full hundred and ten games in a row, but it was difficult to tell the winner, and in the end it could only end in a draw. Afterwards, Mo Xian asked Xia Xun, why can you play so many games in a short time? Xia Xun replied seriously: We are playing backgammon.

What kind of chess is backgammon, since the battle of Yueyang City's Pure Yang Guan, Mo Xian has known it. It is an extremely simple chess game, and even a three-year-old naughty child can play many tricks at will. But what he didn't know was why these backgammons could play 100 games in a row in just a few hours, and the return games were all drawn. And the matter between Mo Xian and that little Daogu is similar to the chess game between Xia Xun and Yu Youran, which is also evenly divided and ends in nothing. In the nearly three hours they went out, Mo Xian and Mo Yan made two big circles in the Hanlin Courtyard, attracting countless curious eyes and rumors. Afterwards, Xia Xun asked Mo Xian: What did you both say in the three hours? Mo Xian replied seriously: I said I would come back tomorrow.

When Xia Xun heard this, he almost fainted from the horse...

However, not everything was fruitless on this day. For example, the story that happened in the Hanlin Courtyard spread quickly. It was so fast that even Xia Xun and Mo Xian had not even left the Hanlin Academy, and it had already spread all over Chang'an City. So much so that later, on the way back to the south of Xia Xun and the two of them, they also met Xiahou and Bai Xiu and others who were pulling the mighty people to rescue. After several explanations, Xia Xun finally sent back the group of demons who were afraid of nothing to do.

This is already the case in Minamijo, and even more so in the rest of Kyoto.

The phoenix cries, and the birds all over the field gather their wings.

The dragon is watching, and the mountains and beasts are crawling.

The upper and lower couplets, twenty-two characters, with a few verbal embellishments, were disseminated in dozens of versions in just half a day. The names of Xia Xun and Yu Youran have once again become the focus of people's attention. And what is even more outrageous is still some of the Jianghu court forces in Chang'an City. In their opinion, these two couplets can be described as domineering and incomparably powerful! The national examination is imminent, Canglong Luanfeng is facing the imperial city of Kyoto, and the birds and beasts are like candidates going to Beijing, just at the right time, as if they are talking about themselves. Therefore, at dawn the next day, many courtyards invariably burned incense, sacrificed to their ancestors, and beat gongs and drums to replace their own archways with new lianzi. The result is so funny, the passers-by look amazing at first glance, who knows that if you look at it again, there are seven out of ten mansions on the entire street, which is boring and ridiculous in an instant.

Such an interesting story soon became a joke after tea and dinner in Chang'an City.

And after the anecdotes, there are the main things.

The birds sent a message and flew out of Chang'an, and within a few days, the big and small stories that happened in the Hanlin Courtyard were scattered to many places along with a couplet.

As a result, many things have become invisibly subtle.

Xia Xun and Yu Youran are both enemies in Yueyang, and Xia Yuan left a hand when he went to Beijing, also in order to leave Yu Youran's life to Xia Xun to collect. The so-called enemies are very red when they meet, and the debts of life should be repaid with their lives. However, such a lonely man and widow were alone in the same room for two or three hours, during which they were silent all the way, and no one knows what they did in the small building, which is intriguing. There are also the two indifferent people who left halfway, they have the same temperament and the same background, and there are more suspicions about the stories hidden behind them. After repeated inquiries and repeated confirmation by various forces, Mo Xian and Mo Yan did not even say a word to each other during the three hours that they walked together on the outer road of the Hanlin Courtyard. The only thing they said was what Mo Xian said in front of the small building when they were about to leave: I will come back tomorrow.

The meaning of the words is affectionate.

The depth of affection is a little.

If nothing happens, why come again?

If something, why is there nothing to say?

Such a grotesque act is really confusing and incomprehensible. But everyone knows that there must be a hidden story here.

The next four days were even worse.

From the next day, every morning, the Daxiangguo Temple in the south of the city will gallop out on time with two fast horses, or bring morning pastries, or bring morning meals, and go straight to the north of the city. After staying in the small building where the two women lived for a while, the black clothes would leave with the white robes, and they would wander leisurely between the alleys of Hanlin, without saying a word, not knowing what to say. And the green shirt was left in the small building silently, and no one knew what it was called.

I don't know what it is, it's not indifferent, but it makes people want to know what it is.

Therefore, all of a sudden, gossip sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, creating something out of nothing. Enemies of life and death, lonely men and widows, in small buildings, gods and reckoners, and grandsons of ghosts, these sensitive phrases have been constantly intersecting and evolving, and there are really too many places that can be scrutinized and pondered. Therefore, on the fifth day, there was only one white horse left that ran out of the Great Xiangguo Temple every morning, and there was another horse that was frightened by the letter from the south and nested in the temple, and no longer dared to go to the Hanlin Temple.

Yuan, that is a little peony girl far away in the south of the sky, at the instigation of a certain scheming senior brother, finally became jealous. Then with a stroke of the pen, the manuscript paper turned into snow, calling the blue bird to carry the anger of the girl in the endless boudoir, across the north and south 40 million miles, and the uproar... Xia Xun read the letter, his face turned pale, and he suddenly felt like he was in a thunderstorm purgatory, and others didn't know the truth and thought he was evil. So, he hurriedly took the pen, coaxed and begged, wrote down a letter of guarantee that he would never enter Hanlin again, pressed the handprint, and then ordered the blue bird to bring it back the same way. Since then, Xia Xun has been thinking about the side room, and he didn't even dare to take another step at the gate of Xiangguo Temple.

Affection has been empty since ancient times, and this hatred is endless...

Poor people, I don't know that a sad and sad feeling is sprouting roots. You can't stop it from growing in the footsteps of fate, and when it really blossoms, you'll only regret what it didn't do.

And Xia Xun's sudden depression did remove a lot of gossip from him in the following days. The three-foot Qingfeng ran a horse in black, still going back and forth between the Hanlin Courtyard and Xiangguo Temple every day, and still wandering in the Hanlin Courtyard with a white robe every day, repeating many reincarnations, but no one had ever heard a word or half of their exchange, let alone any actions beyond ordinary feelings. Although the strangeness is obvious, no one can accurately say what is strange. Therefore, such a bizarre thing must not be weary in ignorance. As the national examination approaches, more and more candidates from all over the Tang Dynasty have flocked to Kyoto, setting off waves of amazement and shock, and endless new things have gradually drowned out the boredom of this corner of the Hanlin Academy. However, the world is impermanent, there is no intention to plant flowers without flowers, unintentionally planting willows and willows, just when people are about to forget that there has been such a thing, it is accompanied by a gust of wind and waves, quietly surfaced, and shy to lift the veil...

The Emperor's List.

According to the previous practice, half a month before the Tang National Examination, Kyoto Linyuan Pavilion will compile a roster according to the cultivation realm, intellectual knowledge and experience of the candidates who go to Beijing, and then print it into a list and publish it in the world, and this list will be the emperor's list.

There are 14 days before the national examination, Kyoto Drunken Immortal Building.

The emperor list is posted, and Kyoto is in an uproar...

"No, he actually withdrew from this national examination?"

"Yo, really. Could it be that the one from the Tower of Babel has another arrangement?"

"A few days ago, I heard my eldest cousin on duty at the Tower of Babel say that this person has broken through to the royal realm, and he can be described as invincible among his peers in the world. If this person does not participate in this national examination, I am afraid it will be overshadowed. ”

"Not so much. ”

"There are a lot of talented people in this national examination, and even the two princes of the royal family have gone. Look at these people, Lan Ting-Zhan Ruozi, Liushui Villa-Yue Bufan, Ghost Gate-Dong Chao, and these people from Tangmen... They are all people who went to Beijing to take the exam ten years ago and broke into the fame. But now on the emperor's list, they can't even rank in the Earth Evil Position, which shows how amazing the people who can enter the Tiangang Position. ”

"That being said, there are really few famous people in this year's world. ”

"Look, who is this Gu Fan? Heavenly Apocalypse Realm, who was taught by Wushan in the Western Regions, and has two holy weapons, is actually ranked second in Tiangang, so against the sky. There is also this little monk named Sun Wukong, who is obviously still a cub, and he was named as a bodhisattva in the flesh ranked fourth, second only to the second prince. Is this Linyuan Pavilion mistaken? How can it be so nonsense?"

"Don't say it, this year's emperor list seems to be really problematic. The people in our imperial city in Kyoto can be counted on one hand, and even the apocalypse masters such as Hanlin Academy-Bai Lingyun and Longtang-Ai Shen are only hovering in the top ten, which is incredible. ”

"Hehe, brother. Don't underestimate these dolls, but remember that Fang Tian Painting Halberd was only fourteen years old when it swept Liuhe. ”

"Yes, look at this little monk's inheritance, but it's amazing..."

"Eh, look here, the fifth and sixteenth of Tiangang. ”

"Mo Yan and Mo Xian, these two names are so familiar, are they brother and sister?"

"It's a fart, it's written on it! Mo Yan, the chief disciple of the Sword Vein of the Pure Yang Palace, his cultivation is unknown. Mo Xian, the chief disciple of the Seven Star Academy in Yueyang, in the middle of the Apocalypse. These two are clearly rivals!"

"Huh? No. The white clothes are better than the snow, and the three-foot silver dragon is made. Why does Linyuan Pavilion's description of this Mo Yan look so much like the new Dao Gu from the Hanlin Academy?"

"What do you mean, it's like she's okay? This woman lives in the same building as the crazy woman!"

"Yes, I remember her name is Mo Yan. ”

"Eh, so the two monsters of this Pure Yang Palace have come out?"

"This woman's surname is also Mo..."

"Could it be..."

The emperor list was posted, and the wind and waves blown were particularly violent and weird.

I especially remember the national examination ten years ago, when a halberd was born to beat invincible opponents all over the Quartet, shocking the world. He was like a brilliant moon that reflected the candidates and students of the same class into gloomy dust, and the owner of the euphorbia was only fourteen years old at that time, and now he is only twenty-four. I thought that the bright moon of that year would rise again this year, creating a more dazzling brilliance for the imperial city of Kyoto. But who knows, but he suddenly withdrew from the national examination for some reason, so that Linyuan Pavilion could only leave his name in the first place on the emperor's list, and could no longer describe its subtleties, which also became the biggest regret of this Tang Dynasty national examination.

This person's name is Yang Jian, and he is taught by Tongtian Tower.

Recognized as the first person of the younger generation.

In addition, on this year's emperor list, I don't know which ravine and ravine have emerged from many unheard of names, and the rankings are relatively high, and some even squeeze many heroes who have been famous for a long time behind. Perhaps it was expected that the announcement of the imperial list would attract criticism, so the scholars of the Linyuan Pavilion who wrote the imperial list also mentioned that they had made preparations, and deliberately made detailed annotations after the names of these rising stars. The height and weight, personality and appearance, armor skills, past achievements and experiences of the meticulous are all recorded. Even if there are some low-key people who have no basis, Linyuan Pavilion will give a relatively reasonable reason.

For example, the biggest criticism is none other than Gu Fan, who ranks second on the Tiangang list, and Sun Wukong, who ranks fourth. The former is like a meteor, born in the battle of Yueyang Tower, not to say that the world knows very little about him, even the description of his resume in Linyuan Pavilion is also very few. But for his strength, Linyuan Pavilion gave a very high evaluation: Although Yueyang Tower was defeated in the battle, the three veins of the same cultivator were arrogant. Reincarnation feng shui burial of the ancient king, the witch god of flesh and blood in the same realm of supreme! Such four sentences, were annotated in red ink under the name of the ancient Sanskrit, particularly conspicuous, although he did not explicitly say his teacher, but it is enough to show that the Linyuan Pavilion attaches great importance to the ancient Fan.

As for the fourth place of Tiangang, Sun Wukong, the amount of information given by Linyuan Pavilion is even less, in addition to the teacher Sanzang and his age, there are only four big red characters of "Bodhisattva in the flesh" under his name. And there is a line of small words under the remarks, which reads: He has saved thousands of people between landslides and fires, and he has been unscathed. Although this comment is simple, it can make the extremely strict Linyuan Pavilion scholar write the four characters unscathed, which shows that the landslide and sea of fire really did not hurt half of the little monk's hair. Indeed, it deserves the four words of the bodhisattva of the flesh.

In addition, there are still many unbelievable places in this year's royal list.

For example, Xia Xun, who has become famous in the past six months, has become even more unknown in the past few months. It stands to reason that although Xia Xun's cultivation is unbearable, he has also made great achievements with the ability of his divine sense and a pair of demons, and since Gu Fan can rank second in Tiangang, and as a person who once defeated Gu Fan, Xia Xun can also be ranked, right?

However, Linyuan Pavilion just kicked his name into the vast sea of people, so that many people with a heart had to fish in the sea for a long time before they found the word Xia Xun from the end of the imperial list, after 100,000 people. In this regard, Linyuan Pavilion commented on only one sentence: There are many enemies, and the wind blows easily. Such a commentary can be described as concise and to the point, but if you dig deeper, it will not stand up to scrutiny. It is true that Xia Xun has many enemies, and there are not a few people who want to move him, both openly and secretly, as can be seen from the interception of the Jinyi Wei Bento Street of the Criminal Department on the first day he entered Beijing. However, since Xia Xun was born, he has experienced more than a dozen large and small disputes, and all of them are outnumbered and in danger, but in the end, they can defeat the strong with the weak, or turn the danger into a disaster, which is not comparable to ordinary people. Therefore, Linyuan Pavilion commented like this, no matter how you look at it, it feels like only half of the words are said, or it is deliberate.

The saying that there is no harm without comparison...

This is even more evident when compared to the two.

After being a saint, Yu Youran, the first disciple of the Pure Yang Bagua Vein, who was also unbearable, was placed on the 37th Emperor List by Linyuan Pavilion with the eight red characters of "Peering into the heavens and finding no last resort", and the first place in the earth. Mo Yan is even more, although no one will question her fifth ranking in Tiangang, but the Hanlin Academy did not mention her strength at all, and wrote a sentence: The chief disciple of the Sword Vein of the Pure Yang Palace.

The traces of such a perfunctory annotation are too heavy, and people can't help but think a little deeper. And when people's eyes moved down a little, they saw the largest annotation on this year's imperial list. People think more deeply...

Mo Xian was placed in the sixteenth of the Emperor List by the Linyuan Pavilion, and his cultivation in the middle of the Apocalypse overwhelmed the ranking of many Apocalypse Masters. In fact, no one disputes this ranking. After all, the name of Mo Xian has long been spread in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the three thousand white-clothed silver swords in the first battle of the Pure Yang Temple, or the shadowless sword speed of Yueyang Tower, or the surprise of the Hanlin Academy not long ago, this is enough to show that the strength of Mo Xian is by no means comparable to the ordinary realm. And Linyuan Pavilion also has a very high evaluation of it, sprinkled thousands of words with all his lips and tongues to circle the performance of Mo Xian in every battle, and did not forget to write in red ink after the text, "The sword comes out of the seven stars, and the road returns to the immortals." Yin and yang are combined, and creation is infinite. "Sixteen big words.

And the problem lies in these sixteen words.

Many people think that the reason why Linyuan Pavilion does not mention the cultivation of ink words as geometry is that in addition to the fact that this person was born out of thin air, and the outside world knows little about his resume, there is also the ability of ink words, which may have been hidden in Mo Xian's annotations by Linyuan Pavilion.

Mo Xian was taught by the Yueyang Seven Star Academy, and the Seven Star Academy was taught by the divine sword of the year, and the divine sword came out of the Pure Yang Palace of the Immortal Xing, so the rivers and lakes have always had the saying of "the Tao returns to the immortal". Throughout the ages, the pure yang dao system is divided into yin and yang veins, both of which are indispensable. Back then, the divine sword was the one who inherited the sword yang vein, and now the god in the Pure Yang Palace is the one who inherits the gossip yin vein. In other words, Mo Xian inherits the seven stars, and Mo Yan inherits the immortals, and the inheritance of these two people represents the yin and yang poles of this generation of pure yang Taoism. If Mo Xian is strong, Mo Yan will only be stronger. Because the divine sword of the Seven Star Courtyard has disappeared for twenty years, and the divine calculation of the Pure Yang Palace is still in the palace now. The Seven Star Courtyard has long been reduced to the Jianghu Academy, and the Pure Yang Palace is still the bull's ear for Taoist cultivation in the world.

After the old people, they are now reunited in the present world. The unparalleled warriors of the past will inevitably be reborn in another form.

Therefore, there is still a good reason for Linyuan Pavilion to put Mo Xian after Mo Yan.

It's just that...

Is it really that simple?
