Chapter 46: The Legendary Array (I)
Legend has it that it was an underground cold vein that formed this glacier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info also legend that the core of the underground cold vein is actually an ancient cold mantle, which is a dragon species, but because of some secret reasons, it was punished by heaven and fell here, but it was just a body of resentment mixed with cold air, which will not melt through the ages.
Of course, there are also some storytellers who made up the story of the ancient times, when the human race overhauled and fought against the evil demon ancestor Han Yan and sealed it, and talked in the teahouse all day long to earn living expenses.
In the depths of the glacier, coolies are shaking and shuddering to pack the 10,000-year-old ice pith mined from the deepest ice layers into special thick wooden boxes, and transport them one by one.
Each box contained only a small amount of ice marrow the size of a fingernail, but it had already frozen so that the coolies' faces turned blue, and after carrying it to other coolies, they immediately ran to the fire and roasted it for half a day before they could come back to life.
The tunnels dug in the glacier are extremely deep, and they continue to be continued, and there are several coolies in the deepest depths, and they are different from other coolies, who are not responsible for transportation, but only for mining the ice pith for thousands of years.
Pieces of ice marrow the size of a fist were mined by them, divided into small pieces the size of fingernails, and transported one by one.
Among the coolies, there was a small man standing in the center, wearing a melon-skin hat and a tattered fur waistcoat with the edges worn out.
Under the fur vest, he was wearing only a single coat, thin arms and legs, and it looked like he might freeze to death in this tunnel at any time.
However, she alone mined the largest amount of mining in the entire team. With a wave of your hand, you can shatter a large ice wall, revealing the ice pith embedded in it.
When a coolie in charge of transportation passed by her, he accidentally touched her, and the body that came into contact with her was immediately frozen by an extreme cold, and the ice quickly condensed on his body in the sound of Titicaca freezing.
"Not good!" shouted someone, and hurriedly sent the coolie up urgently, and set it up on the fire to roast him. After a while, the ice on his body melted, and the whole person came back to life, but he was also greatly injured, and he was so lifeless that he could not go down to work for a short time.
The people who were busy rescuing gradually dispersed, revealing Bei Xiaoya standing behind everyone. She was petite and thin, wearing a large mask. People walked around her, deep fear hidden in their eyes, and even in the distance someone was cursing in a low voice: "She is a monster, she should be thrown into the crater and burned to death!"
The person who was sent by the overseer monk happened to find her: "Bei Xiaoya will come with me, Lord Qin will look for you." β
She silently followed, her hands in the pockets of her leather vest, her head bowed and she said nothing.
When Lord Qin, the overseer monk, saw her, he couldn't help frowning, this little girl was extremely evil, and the monk in the early stage of her own dignified Xuanqi Realm, if she was too close to her, she also had a feeling of being frozen and his blood was stagnant.
"Bei Xiaoya, your chance has come, Elder Feng will give you a transformation, pack up and go with them. β
Bei Xiaoya still didn't speak, and followed with her head down. She let others arrange her own destiny without a trace of resistance.
......
"Son, get up, today is the day of your unschool assessment, you must not be late. The mother asked them to prepare the beast meat porridge, as well as four spirit fruits, ten spiritual food snacks, and eat them all after a while, and go to the test well, and they must earn a face for their mother to come back!"
Qiu Yuru came early in the morning, in the past, at home, **** Peng was too busy to take care of his son, and whether it was Chen Zhong, Chen Yi, or Cai Lin, no one dared to call Chen Zhining to get up.
Cai Lin hid to the side, showing her little head, looking at Qiu Yuru with adoring eyes, and thought in her heart: It's still Mrs. Amazing!
Perhaps in order to make up for the regret of not being by her son's side in the past few years, Qiu Yuru has taken care of her son in the past few days, but as a result, this "care" has become "control" if she is not careful.
Chen Zhining struggled to get up, although he was not good, he also knew that filial piety was the first of all kinds, and he didn't dare to talk back to his mother.
"Motherβ" he wailed, "this is the earliest time your son has risen in years. β
Qiu Yuru hurriedly touched his hair and coaxed him: "Okay, okay, you are the most obedient, go and have breakfast, prepare for today's big day." β
In the restaurant, **** Peng's expression was a little serious: "I got the news for my father, I'm afraid today's assessment is not simple, you should be careful." β
Chen Zhining waved his hand nonchalantly: "Dad, don't worry, passing today's assessment will be easy for your son." β
Seeing this kid looking so careless, **** Peng had some bad premonitions in his heart. He knocked on the table in annoyance and scolded: "Can't you be serious? With your talent and current cultivation, as long as you are serious, no matter how difficult they are, you will definitely be able to pass." But you don't look like a ......."
Qiu Yuru was unhappy: "**** Peng, you make it clear, what is wrong with my son?"
Peng suddenly turned off the fire and pretended to glare at his wife...... Then Mrs. glared back without hesitation, **** Peng coughed dryly, picked up the bowl and began to pick up the rice, as if nothing had happened.
Qiu Yuru glanced at her husband proudly, turned back to her son and said, "Good son, don't be hit by your father, take a good assessment, my mother believes that you will be able to do it." β
Chen Zhining grinned: "Of course my son is fine. β
Peng sighed secretly, this kid obviously didn't listen to his words, and he still looked like a hanger.
......
Bei Xiaoya came very early and sat quietly on a row of stone piers outside the county school. Several guards of the county school didn't realize that this little girl like a street child was actually one of the contestants in today's assessment.
Bei Xiaoya is used to others deciding her fate. Yesterday, the deacon of the Tianxu Pavilion asked her to come early, so she got up very early.
She hadn't even seen the so-called Elder Feng Xuanzheng who gave her a copy of "Creation", the people in the mine handed her over to a deacon of the Tianxu Pavilion, and from yesterday to today, it was the deacon who had been arranging for her.
After waiting for a while, she finally met her opponent. At the first time, she didn't like her opponent very much.
He came in such a beautiful carriage, and when he got out of the carriage, he yawned heavily, and then pulled the hand of a beautiful little maid in the carriage with a hippie smile, and asked the girl to "kiss and encourage", which frightened the beautiful little girl and quickly retracted the carriage.
But Bei Xiaoya has a good impression of that little girl, and the clothes she passed down are really beautiful - Bei Xiaoya is a little envious, but she thinks that this fur vest on her body is suitable for her.
After the opponent entered the county school, Bei Xiaoya stood up and came to the gate and said calmly to the guards: "I was recommended by Elder Feng. β
Elder Feng Xuanzheng also wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending a girl named "Bei Xiaoya" to participate in today's entrance assessment, together with Chen Zhining.
The guards looked at her in surprise, she was used to this strange gaze, and it seemed that it was not much different from when others thought she was a monster.
So she still stood still, and after a while, the guards withdrew their surprised gazes: "Go in." β
Chen Zhining was also surprised, looking back at this girl, the other party immediately lowered his head, Chen Zhining only saw a thin body, and failed to see clearly whether the face was beautiful or not.
Cai Xundao has a headache, not because Master Taishi asked him to preside over today's assessment, there are only two disciples in total, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, he is just a little confused, worried that he will not be able to get a good one, contrary to the mind of Lord Xuezheng, I am afraid that his future days in the county school will not be so comfortable.
But Cai Xundao tried to knock on the side for a long time yesterday, and he didn't understand who Master Xuezheng wanted to let in and who he failed to choose-of course he couldn't try it, because even Tai Shi Ah himself hadn't figured it out.
"It's good that you're here and not late. Cai Xundao was also accompanied by two assistant teachers, his face was calm, and he looked like a teacher: "You two should know that the county school has been open for more than four months, so it is very rare for you to have this opportunity, you must take advantage of it." β
"Today's test is actually quite simple, it mainly depends on your aptitude. The current realm is not high, there are a lot of classics and resources, as long as you have potential, the county school will definitely be able to cultivate you!"
He pointed to the dial to the side, "If you have no objections, then let's start testing." β
He looked at the two people: "The girl comes first." β
Bei Xiaoya stepped forward and stood in front of the sundial, pressing her hands in the center.
The stone ring turned layer by layer in the rough friction sound, and soon broke through the fifth layer, and the eyes of Cai Xundao and the two assistant teachers lit up, they didn't expect to be able to find real gold! Such a good immortal seedling, why would Feng Xuanzheng that old fox be willing to give it to Junxue? Is it just for revenge?
The stone ring is still turning, and it has already driven the sixth layer!
Chen Zhining didn't pay attention to his "opponent" at all, and he walked around the yard, looking very unruly.
Then when Bei Xiaoya completely urged the sixth layer of stone rings and began to slowly drive the seventh layer of stone rings, he stomped a bluestone slab in the courtyard, and the slate shattered with a click.
The seventh-layer stone ring was already spinning rapidly--this showed that Bei Xiaoya was at least purple talented! This was already more than the legendary Chen Zhining's blue talent.
Cai Xun praised loudly: "Good!"
The speed of the seventh layer of the stone ring is getting faster and faster, and everyone thinks that she will definitely be able to urge the eighth layer of the stone ring to reach the legendary silver talent, but unexpectedly, no matter how fast the seventh layer of the stone ring turns, the eighth layer will always remain unmoved.
Finally, Bei Xiaoya's face flushed, and she had already exceeded her limit, so she let go and retreated.
There is no miracle that can be achieved, and Cai Xundao regrets in his heart: Sure enough, it is said that the threshold is not easy to cross. The first seven floors and the last two floors are absolutely worlds apart.
But Cai Xundao was already very satisfied, he had already decided at this time that no matter who Lord Xuezheng liked in his heart, he must recruit this young genius into the county school!
Then as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Chen Zhining was still wandering around the yard, and he had already stepped on seven stone slabs one after another.
