Back in Feiliu Valley, Shangguan Yun found Zhao Laowei and told him about the assessment of the upper court, and after listening to Shangguan Yun's words, Zhao Laowei looked surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ji Jiu, that guy said he didn't know? ”

"According to the practice of previous years, you only need to go to the Chuangong Hall to report your name, and then you can participate in the assessment, the content of the assessment is nothing more than the basic assessment, the trial assessment two parts, there used to be a knockout in the ring, and then it was canceled for various reasons. ”

"Why did you cancel it? Isn't it a good way to compete in the ring?" Shangguan Yun was a little puzzled.

"Alas, this is a long story, thousands of years ago, there was an unprecedented prosperity in Changchunmen, among which there were two Tianjiao who were particularly outstanding, both of them were arrogant, and no one was convinced. Later, in the assessment of the ring competition, one of them was seriously injured and lost, and the other was also not lightly injured. But what people didn't expect was that the defeated people thought that the game was unfair, and went away with hatred overnight, because of their desire for revenge, and finally escaped into the devil's way, and took Changchun Gate as their revenge all their lives, bringing an unprecedented disaster to Changchun Gate. In addition, due to the limited number of places in the upper house, although it is nominally a competition, it often becomes a life-and-death fight, although there are elders sitting in the battle to protect, but there are still many disciples killed and injured in each ring competition, so there are not a few feuds, so the ring competition was simply canceled later. ”

Hearing Zhao Laowei say this, Shangguan Yun also fell into deep thought, indeed, if he changed himself, in the face of the limited number of places in the upper house, he was afraid that it would be difficult to maintain a peaceful state of mind in the ring.

But that's okay, Shangguan Yun actually lacks the most experience in fighting people, although he has hunted a lot of demon beasts, but after all, he has not really fought with people to life and death, and the bow and arrow he is good at may not be able to play an advantage in the ring.

There are only ten days left before the final assessment, and early in the morning of this day, Guan Yun came to the Chuangong Hall to register, although today is the last day of the registration deadline, but there are still many disciples who come to sign up, and there is a long queue at the moment.

After waiting for about an hour, it was finally Shangguan Yun's turn, and it was Elder Song who presided over the registration on the spot, but when Shangguan Yun smiled at him, Elder Song didn't see it at all.

Shangguan Yun handed the jade plate of his identity to the disciple in charge of registration, and the disciple returned the jade plate to Shangguan Yun after carefully checking it.

"This junior brother, you can't sign up for the assessment this time. ”

"Can't you sign up?" Shangguan Yun was very surprised, and immediately raised his voice and asked.

"According to the regulations of this door, those who have been in the school for less than five years are not allowed to sign up. ”

"How can there be such a rule? I haven't heard of it!"

"Sorry, this is a new rule added this year. ”

The conversation between the two aroused the ideas of the disciples next to them, and many disciples began to talk about it.

"I've never heard of this rule before. ”

"Yes, this regulation is unreasonable, does it mean that it is not based on strength and qualifications?"

"How can there be such a rule, which idiot made it?"

Elder Song, who was sitting upright on the side, immediately stood up and scolded loudly:

"Quiet, what does the chaos look like, whoever makes any more noise, directly expel it and cancel the registration. ”

"Elder Song, why is this?" Shangguan Yun asked at Elder Song.

"Shangguan Yun, this matter is decided by the door, I can't help it, you wait for the next assessment. After speaking, Elder Song simply closed his eyes and stopped looking at Shangguan Yun.

In fact, this regulation was set by Elder Song, and the purpose was to prevent Shangguan Yun from signing up, and the disciples of the lower courtyard have always been recruited every five years, and this time there is only one Shangguan Yun who has been in the field for less than five years. Elder Song has already summed up this matter, although the strength of the ninth layer of Shangguan Yunqi is not top-notch, but the results in the assessment will not be bad, and it will be troublesome to reject him at that time, it is better not to let him sign up at all, although he does not understand why Elder Li does not allow Shangguan Yun to enter the upper courtyard, but he must do so.

Shangguan Yun returned to Feiliu Valley depressedly, he didn't think much about it at first, but he felt a little unlucky, how could he catch up with such a new regulation. But on the way back to the valley, he suddenly realized how cruel this ending was for himself, which meant that he would have to wait another five years to save his father, which he absolutely could not accept.

Back in the valley, he couldn't help but find Zhao Laowei to tell him, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe Zhao Laowei could help him. After hearing what Shangguan Yun said, Zhao Laowei immediately became angry, and only said one sentence, "You are waiting for me in the valley, and I will come when I go." Then he flew away with his sword.

Shangguan Yun waited in the valley for three days, but he didn't see Zhao Laowei come back, and his heart became even more upset, just when he was restless, Zhao Laowei came back with an angry and helpless face.

Seeing Shangguan Yun coming over with a look of anticipation, Old Monster Zhao waved his hand helplessly.

"Boy, the old man tried his best, but he couldn't change it. ”

Shangguan Yun only felt that his last hope had been disappointed, and looked at Old Monster Zhao blankly, and only after a long time did he say, "Thank you, Elder Zhao." Then he walked back to his cabin gloomily.

Shangguan Yun didn't know how he had survived this ordeal, and at night, he finally walked out of the hut, came to the familiar boulder by the waterhole, and sat down. The moonlight on a summer night shone on the Swift Valley as before, and except for the sound of the waterfall rushing into the pool, the entire Swift Valley was silent. Without any intention of cultivating, Shangguan Yun simply lay on the boulder with his arms on his pillow, staring blankly at the sky, but his heart was tumbling with the waves in the pool.

"Boy, what do you want?"

Shangguan Yun opened his eyes and saw that Old Monster Zhao was standing in front of him, as if he wanted to say something, but he was a little hesitant.

"I didn't think about anything, I was in a daze," Shangguan Yun replied lazily.

"There's something I want to ask you. ”

Shangguan Yun sat up, feeling that Old Monster Zhao's voice was a little strange.

"What's the matter? Elder Zhao. ”

"I heard that you sent it from Senior Brother Bai?"

"Yes. ”

"It was the Demon King Lingjun who handed you over to Senior Brother Bai?"

"Yes. Shangguan Yun vaguely understood something.

"Do you know Lingjun?"

"My father is dead, and Lingjun says he can save him. ”

"I see. Old Monster Zhao shook his head slightly.

"Is it because of this?" Shangguan Yun asked.

Old Monster Zhao nodded, then shook his head again, and was silent for a long time before he sat down and said to Shangguan Yun, I'll tell you a story.

"That Bai Xianjun, that is, my second senior brother, is called Bai Feifei, who was originally an orphan, who was rescued from the wilderness by Elder Song Zhongtian, the head of the previous generation, and then adopted as a personal disciple. He was originally a metallic single spirit root, and he was extremely intelligent, and he had successfully built a foundation at the age of sixteen, and was recognized as a leader of that generation. ”

"Although after the catastrophe a thousand years ago, with the demon god being sealed, the demon clan gradually disappeared, but in fact, there are still remnants of the demon clan from time to time, but they are all wiped out by the human and demon clans, but outsiders don't know it. After the age of twenty, Senior Brother Bai was ordered by his master to often go out to kill demons and demons, and made many meritorious deeds, and his reputation slowly became louder, because of his handsome figure, he also had the name of the jade-faced immortal monarch, and he didn't know how many women pursued him for a while, but he never moved. ”

"Before the age of thirty, Senior Brother Bai was the first to marry in the same generation, maybe there is still a gap between him and those geniuses in the legend, but in the world, it is absolutely amazing. But no matter how many people persuaded him, he was always single, thinking that he was arrogant, but no one knew that he had already fallen in love with Lingjun, the princess of the demon clan in the Middle Domain, and already had a daughter. ”

"Until later, the Southern Heavenly Demon King Yanwu had a bad relationship with the human race, and the southern cultivation realm had a fight, and the northern demon clan also had a dispute with the human race, in order to prevent the demon clan in the central region from taking the opportunity to make trouble, the three factions of Changchun Gate, Huayin Sect, and Zhenwumen took the lead in besieging the demon clan in the central region, and tried to take the demon princess Lingjun as a hostage to restrain the demon clan in the central region. In that battle, the demon king Kunyu of the Central Domain was seriously injured, and the three factions of the cultivation world also suffered heavy losses, just when the three factions were about to capture the Lingjun, Senior Brother Bai suddenly rescued him, although in the end the demon king Kunyu died in battle, and the nine-colored spirit rune of the inheritance token of the demon clan in the middle region also fell into the hands of Changchun Gate, but the people in the cultivation world were still resentful of what Senior Brother Bai did. ”

For this reason, Huayin Sect and Zhenwumen joined forces to attack Changchun Gate, and the head of Song Zhongtian had no choice but to expel Senior Brother Bai from Changchun Gate, and resigned as the head of the sect. ”

"Lingjun later took over the position of the demon clan in the middle domain, extremely resentful of the cultivation world, and regained the heart of the nine-colored spirit rune for a long time, it is rumored that she invited Senior Brother Bai to jointly attack the Changchun Gate several times, because Senior Brother Bai did not obey, and the two were not harmonious, so Senior Brother Bai lived alone. ”

When Zhao Lao Wei said this, Shangguan Yun finally understood the reason for all this, although the demon king Lingjun hadn't said what he wanted to do, but now that he thought about it, it must have something to do with the nine-colored spirit rune. Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What a white immortal monarch, how can you be so ridiculous, you either refuse the demon king's request and don't send me into the Changchun Gate, or you will do what she wants. But it's good that you sent me here, but why did you tell Changchun Gate that the demon king asked you to send me. ”

"But if Bai Xianjun doesn't send me here, will the demon king still promise to save his father?" Bai Xianjun, Bai Xianjun, should I hate you or thank you?"

After pondering for a long time, Shangguan Yun said softly to Old Monster Zhao: "In this way, even if I wait for another five years, I'm afraid I still won't be able to enter the upper courtyard." ”

"I'm afraid that's the case. Old Monster Zhao also sighed, and then asked Shangguan Yun: "Boy, what are your plans?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet. Shangguan Yun shook his head helplessly.

"There are many cultivation sects in the world, don't you consider changing places?" Zhao Lao Wei hesitated for a long time before saying this, after all, he was still from Changchun Sect.

"No mind, no interest. Shangguan Yun felt physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, for more than three years, he had been cultivating desperately, just to save his father as soon as possible, but now that all this is empty, even if he can go to other sects to cultivate, so what?

"I was just thinking about what else could be done to save my father. Shangguan Yun said his thoughts quietly.
