"Brother Xie, do you also have a sign like this?" Ming Xuan shook the number plate in his hand at Xie Qishan, and after reporting his name, Ming Xuan took Liu Wu to the teahouse where Xie Qishan was waiting, anyway, he is also a lively person, and he must be happy to know more friends.

"I must have this too, but my ranking is eight thousand four hundred and thirty-six, I didn't expect that this is less than a day, and the number of people who have signed up has increased by more than a thousand!" Xie Qishan couldn't help but smack his tongue a little after calculating.

"By the way, listen to that Li Zhesi said, the number of people who signed up is already nearly 10,000, and in the next three days, the number of applicants will be even more, and now it can already report more than 1,000 in one day, so if you calculate it this way, the number of people who sign up in the end will not be close to 15,000!" Ming Xuan obviously thought more, but this number really scared him.

"Fifteen thousand! It won't be such an exaggeration, doesn't that mean that only one person out of three hundred can be shortlisted!" Liu Wu wrenched his fingers, and he was also frightened.

"Alas, although it is not far away, as far as I know, this year's selection is only the most cruel in the past, and it is really difficult to get through the selection!" Seeing such a grim shape, even Xie Qishan, who has always been full of confidence, couldn't help frowning.

"Whatever, no matter how many others there are, as long as you give full play to your strength, even if you are eliminated, don't leave any regrets. Ming Xuan said lightly, no matter how many people participate in the selection, the only condition for determining whether you can be shortlisted is your own strength, if your strength is not good, even if there are only a thousand people participating, you can't be shortlisted.

"Ming Xuan is right, you have to give full play to all your efforts over the years! If you fail, it can only prove that others work harder than you, then there is nothing to regret, and then see the moves." Encouraged by Ming Xuan, Liu Wu was no longer so depressed, and he was so easily intimidated by his youthful spirit.

Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, let's eat first, the salted duck in this teahouse is not bad, let's have a full meal first, and then take a good stroll and relax! Get ready for the selection!" Speaking of eating and drinking, Xie Qishan also swept away the predicament just now, and immediately became refreshed.

......

But in the end, Ming Xuan still didn't go shopping with them, he hadn't slept well for a long time, and now he just wanted to go back to the inn to have a good rest, and firmly stated that he wanted to go back to make up for sleep, but fortunately, with Liu Wu accompanying Xie Qishan, he didn't insist too much, which allowed Ming Xuan to go back to the room.

Since Ming Xuan decided to go out of Huoyun Mountain and enter the rivers and lakes, he has been running around, just went out and ran into a mess of things in the Wang family, first sent the Yanguo to Wang Shouren to treat his injuries, and then had a big fight with Zhao Long; and then lived in the black shop and ran into robbers, although there was no danger to pass, and because of the blessing of misfortune got one of the ten major weapons of the flame bow, and fortunately got a high-grade sword in Boiling City, it was an eye-opener at the product conference; , In Kangcheng, he made friends with Guo Jieren, not only cured his injury, but also pointed out the maze for Ming Xuan, so that his martial arts skills were more solid, and his cultivation has also made great progress, correcting some of the deficiencies that Ming Xuan had cultivated in his long-term solo cultivation; It's a pity that Mingxuan wants to join Qingyangmen in order to fulfill his grandfather's last wish, otherwise Leiyin Temple is also a good place to learn the Tao;

It took five months, Ming Xuan walked more than 20,000 miles to come to Dragon City, in these five months, Ming Xuan learned a lot, from an ignorant mountain boy, to a person who can cope with all kinds of rivers and lakes, no longer dealing with people and making mistakes, indiscriminately giving gifts, and talking is not right, and now he can deal with it freely and decently, and even people will not let people despise him because of his young age, and he can't help but treat him equally.

"Five months, how does it feel like a dream?" Lying on the bed, Ming Xuan recalled the one that had happened in the past five months, and still felt full of unreality.

For more than ten years, he has been living in Huoyun Mountain, and his daily life is almost the same, picking medicine or hunting, selling medicine or prey, cooking, housework, practicing martial arts, and learning calligraphy has been like this over and over again. He once thought that this was all there was to his life, nothing turbulent, plain but real.

However, five months ago, Ming Xuan walked into this complicated world, dealing with all kinds of people, and also encountered all kinds of strange things, life was full of ups and downs, full of excitement, and he learned even more than his own study for more than ten years, but in this noisy world, Ming Xuan felt an alternative loneliness and unreality, feeling that he couldn't fit into this world, or the quiet life in the mountains seemed to be more suitable for him.

"Well, don't think about it, let's get some sleep first. The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thinking became, Ming Xuan simply didn't think about it anymore, now it's better to take a good rest.

Maybe it was because he knew that Ming Xuan was more tired, and Xie Qishan never came to disturb him, Ming Xuan slept solidly this time, from noon to the next morning, if it weren't for the long-term habit of getting up early that forced him to never sleep anymore, otherwise he felt that he could sleep for a day.

"The registration will end in two days, and after everyone will rest for a day, they will set off for Qingyang Mountain en masse, and then the selection will begin. "Regarding the selection, Xie Qishan knows the most, and has always explained to them, especially Mingxuan, who doesn't know anything about the selection.

"Then what do we need to prepare?" Ming Xuan hurriedly asked, for such an important selection, there are always some details that need to be prepared.

"Some specific matters, Qingyangmen will post some announcements in the city, and we will pay attention to it when the time comes, usually prepare some extremely simple items; if there is no notice, it means that there is no need to prepare anything, and when the time comes, just go up the mountain, someone will arrange it; and now the most important thing to do is to recuperate." Liu Wu also understands the rules quite well.

"So we must eat, drink, have fun, and relax now!" Xie Qishan said that everything could be said to eat, drink and have fun, which made Mingxuan and Liu Wu very speechless.

......

“...... Carry enough dry food and water for three days, carry a weapon, and store the rest of the items in the Zài Inn, tomorrow at the mountain gate of Qingyang Mountain, people who participate in the selection need to go alone, with the number plate ......as the basis for the last day of registration, the announcement of Qingyangmen was finally posted under everyone's expectations.

"Is that all there is to it for three days of dry food and water, weapons, and license plates?" asked Liu Wu, still uncertain, although he had read the announcement more than ten times.

"That's right, that's all there is to it, just prepare at will, and I can finally get rid of the burden and go into battle easily!" Xie Qishan glanced at the guards who followed behind him, intentionally or unintentionally, and said quite excitedly.

"Will the selection of Qingyang Gate be like Leiyin Temple, let's have a mountain climbing assessment first?" Ming Xuan had already told them about the selection of Leiyin Temple, and said with reference.

"It shouldn't be, although Qingyang Mountain and Mida Mountain are both famous mountains, but their topography is different, out of Longcheng is to go to the southwest of Qingyang Mountain, it is a vast forest, where the terrain is relatively flat, at most there are only a few small hills that are not high, and they can't meet the requirements of mountain climbing assessment. Xie Qishan knew the terrain very well and immediately vetoed Ming Xuan's opinion.

"Well, I also agree with Brother Xie's statement, but there are so many people participating in the selection, I think there will be many people who will face elimination in the first assessment. Liu Wu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Brother Liu is right! What else do you have a high opinion?" This point of view, Ming Xuan and Xie Qishan both agree very much.

"If we are asked to bring enough food rations for three days, it may test the time for three days. Liu Wu continued, but there was nothing new.

"And then?" anyone could have imagined, and there was nothing special about it.

"Then it must have something to do with the number plate!" Liu Wu said affirmatively.

"Nonsense!" Xie Qishan and Ming Xuan said in unison, listening to it for a long time, without any useful information.

......

"Wuyun, you can stay here and rest, I have instructed the shopkeeper to take good care of you, and I will definitely give you the best food and raise you very strong. Ming Xuan said as he stroked the mane of the dark clouds.

The dark clouds are extremely human, and they seem to understand Ming Xuan's words, so they actually nodded like a human being, and gently rubbed Ming Xuan, looking very reluctant.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" Ming Xuan smiled and said as if he were a friend.

"Mingxuan, are you ready?" Liu Wu urged in the distance.

"Okay! Come!" Ming Xuan didn't say a word, picked up the prepared bags and set off.

Although it was not yet dawn, in order to reach the foot of Qingyang Mountain as soon as possible, Xie Qishan and Liu Wu were already ready and were waiting for Ming Xuan to come together.

"Don't worry, the guards are all left at the inn, and they will help us keep our luggage. Xie Qishan said with relief.

"Brother Xie has bothered a lot, let's go. Ming Xuan smiled gratefully and sat in the hired carriage.

"Gotcha!" With a crisp whip from the groom, the three of them headed towards the foot of Qingyang Mountain.

"Qingyangmen, we're here!"
