Chapter 45 The Jade Seal of the Country
Just as the disciples outside the rune array were talking to each other in surprise, the entire rune array suddenly changed strangely.
Xu Chen's entire body had been swept away by the scorching pain because of that cool breath. The light of the entire rune array gradually faded, as if it had been swallowed by something, and the silver rune on the ground also became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared.
The disciples' eyes were glazed.
This seems to be a simple disappearance, but it implies a story that is not simple.
The Duishan Sect is a leader in the cultivation world, and this entry test is naturally the most rigorous among all the sects.
Whether it is the "Rolling Card" of the "Jade Xuanmen" or the "Puppet" of the Tongtian God Sect, their difficulty is actually under the test of the Dushan Sect.
Xu Chen's persistence in the talisman array was naturally not the longest in the history of the Dushan Sect. However, this was the first time in the history of the Shan Sect that the power array of the talisman was exhausted.
Even the genius boy who made an exception to enter the Blue Kite Pavilion, Xiao Leng. Although he persisted in the talisman array for more than four incense sticks, he created the history of the Dushan Sect. However, when he staggered away from the rune array, the power of the rune array was still there, after all, it was the work of the wind spirit master.
The disciples of the Gathering Spirit Academy looked at the scene in front of them stupidly, and they all looked at the young man who was already calm at this time with their big mouths open, and even forgot to exclaim.
Ximen Wenyu's brows tightened, and it was difficult to hide the sour taste in his heart, could it be that this seemingly mediocre young man was really a talented and introverted person?
If it was said that when Xu Chen persevered in the talisman array until the time of a stick of incense, Ximen Wenyu's heart was inevitably a little lost, then now, his entire heart has fallen to the bottom.
Xu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, ignored everyone's gaze, slowly stood up and came to Li Tianming's side, and said softly: "Senior brother, I don't know if I passed the test?"
"Huh?"
Li Tianming's reaction was slightly sluggish, because he was still deeply immersed in the strange scene just now, and after a pause, he said with a dull gaze: "Little junior brother, you have held on to two sticks of incense in the talisman array for more than a long time, so naturally you have passed." Just ......"
"Just what?"
Xu Chen hurriedly asked, he knew that the point of his speech was after the transition words such as "but" and "just".
Looking at Xu Chen's puzzled gaze, Li Tianming shook his head and said in a low voice: "Oh, it's nothing. ”
In fact, Li Tianming just wanted to ask Xu Chen how he absorbed or lost all the power of the rune array, but after thinking about it, he still thought it was better not to say it. After all, there are so many pairs of eyes and so many ears listening, and if you have the slightest objection, I don't know how much trouble you will cause.
At this time, the crowd had already remembered the sound of tsk, and even some people had secretly admired it.
However, just when Li Tianming wanted to announce the result, a loud shout sounded.
"What if you pass the test? The disciple present didn't pass?"
Everyone looked for prestige, and it was Liu Xia who spoke, his expression was extremely disdainful, but everyone knew that he was just playing with words. Let's not say that he didn't really pass the test in the first place, even if he passed the foundation, Xu Chen could still rank in the top three of the Gathering Spirit Academy.
If you can consume all the power of the rune array, I'm afraid that there will be no second person in the entire Dushan Sect.
However, before Liu Xia finished speaking, he touched his bare chin, looked at Xu Chen mockingly, and said, "Hey, although you have passed the test, but without the recommendation of the six parts, you still can't enter the Dushan Sect, this is the rule of the Dushan Sect." You'd better get the letters of recommendation first. ”
Yes, compared to other sects, the Dushan Sect is indeed too involved in politics, and as the saying goes, how much ability you have, how much responsibility you have.
Dushan Sect is the last barrier of the entire empire, and in fact, it is also the most feared force of the Pingxi general An Boyuan. If it weren't for the fact that the Dushan Sect was standing tall, I am afraid that An Bo would have been added to the yellow robe by the generals of the frontier long ago.
The royal family naturally also wants to hold the Dushan Sect firmly in their hands and use it to contain the warlords and princes of all parties, so all along, the introductory disciples of the Dushan Sect must have the joint recommendation of the six departments to enter the Dushan Sect, otherwise no matter how talented they are, they can only sigh with admiration.
In fact, at this time, some of the disciples have begun to be upset with Xu Chen, after all, cultivation is cultivation, politics is politics, and it should not be mixed up. What's more, Xu Chen was personally taken over by Master Wanxu, so naturally there would be nothing wrong with it. At this time, Liu Xia's warning was just embarrassing Xu Chen, or rather, disgusting Xu Chen.
Although Ximen Wenyu beside Liu Xia also understood this, he really hoped that Xu Chen would not be able to get a letter of recommendation from the six departments in his life, and secretly said to himself in his heart: "Yes! I just hate it, what's wrong? I'm just jealous of you, what's wrong? I'm just ......" The killing intent in his heart has risen, and he can't compare to you, so I'd better let you disappear.
At this moment, Xu Chen naturally felt the murderous aura of Ximen Wenyu not far away.
Humility makes it easier for people to perceive the faces and mentality of others, Xu Chen has been in the hundred schools of admiration for ten years, and of course he understands Ximen Wenyu's mood at this time.
So he didn't have any special reaction, but was calmer than before. But to others, this calm is more like a disdain, a real disdain.
Xu Chen looked at Liu Xia, who was cold-eyed, stretched out his right hand into a flash, and took out the yellow page that Leng Xue had given him earlier.
He gently unfolded it and handed it to Liu Xia, and said calmly, "You mean this, right?"
Liu Xia didn't even look at the piece of paper, but stared at Xu Chen's eyes, full of hostility: "Oh, didn't you say there was no at the beginning, and pretended not to know what it was, what? Are you fooling us?"
Xu Chen was also cold-eyed, although he didn't want to make trouble, he would never let anyone bully, at least now and in the future, "Many people have seen it, it was sent by the girl named Leng Xue, haven't you seen it? Even if you don't see it, then I'll tell you now." ”
This voice was extremely cold, not as peaceful as at the beginning, which made Liu Xia also surprised, he reached out and pulled the page over, as the son of a general, there is still blood, he has never seen anything, not to mention that this place is his home field, where is he afraid.
Liu Xia held on to the last glimmer of hope, wanting to see that there was something wrong with this recommendation letter, or rather, he had to see that Zhang Recommendation was fake. In this way, he can get back some face for Ximen Wenyu, and he can also get back some face for himself.
However, when he looked at this page of recommendation carefully, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Although this letter of recommendation was a little damp by Xu Chen's sweat, the handwriting and large seal on it were clearly visible. Not only is it clearly visible, but it is simply into the eyes of Miki and straight into the heart.
The handwriting doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what you write, the six seals still don't matter. The important thing is that there are seven big seals on this recommendation letter, and the first big seal is engraved with the words "Ordered by heaven, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ”
"This ...... This ......"
Liu Xia was so shocked that she couldn't speak, more precisely, she was frightened. Because those eight characters only have the right to be engraved on the jade seal. His hands holding the letter of recommendation were trembling, and his face was like ashes.
The jade seal of the country is unique to His Majesty the Emperor, since there is this big seal on this recommendation letter, doesn't it mean that Xu Chen is His Majesty's person.
Although Liu Xia, as the second generation of officials, has always been arrogant, hugging Ximen Wenyu's thigh is even more unscrupulous, and there is no one in his eyes. However, in front of Fang Dayin, there is no one in the empire who does not feel that he is humble, including his father, including Ximen Wenyu, and Ximen Wenyu's father.
Seeing that Liu Xia suddenly seemed to be a different person, and it was obviously not developing in a good direction, Ximen Wenyu guessed that there must be something wrong with the recommendation letter. Without saying a word, he reached out and snatched the page from Liu Xia's hand.
"What's so special about a letter of recommendation?"
Ximen Wenyu said to himself, as the only son of the second general of the empire, his knowledge and courage are naturally wider and greater than Liu Xialai.
Although Liu Xia is the first to him, he sometimes laughs at Liu Xia's petty family, however, when he really took the letter of recommendation, he was also shocked and speechless, he was not laughing at Liu Xia's lack of knowledge, he knew the big seal of the dignified jade seal.
However, a moment later, he woke up from all his astonishment, and there was a mocking smile on his face.
Ximen Wenyu looked at the letter of recommendation, then at Xu Chen, and sneered: "Boy, let's have fun!"
Xu Chen didn't understand what he meant, but he knew that the other party had no good intentions, so he said coldly: "What do you mean?"
When he took the letter of recommendation from Leng Xue's hand, he only glanced at it roughly, and he didn't see the big seal that looked a little dazzling. Of course, then again, even if he saw it, he wouldn't recognize it, after all, he came out of a small town on the frontier, and how could he understand these things.
At this time, Ximen Wenyu didn't seem to care about what Xu Chen asked, but held up the letter of recommendation, showed it to the rest of the disciples, and laughed: "Haha! This kid is really doing everything to enter the Mountain Sect. You say! Forging a letter of recommendation is not at a high level, and it even has such a big seal! Haha! I'll show you too. ”
As he spoke, Ximen Wenyu handed the letter of recommendation to a disciple beside him, and then passed it down one by one.
There are quite a lot of official eunuchs among the disciples of the Gathering Spirit Academy, and they naturally know the jade seal of the country, even if they don't know it, they know those eight characters.
Moments later, there was a pause in laughter from the crowd.
At this time, Li Tianming, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and said slightly angrily: "Senior Brother Wenyu, what are you doing, haven't you made enough trouble?"
"Haha!"
Ximen Wenyu sneered again, almost covered his stomach, and smiled at Li Tianming: "Senior brother, you didn't see it, and when you see it, you can't help laughing like me, haha!"
Li Tianming shook his head helplessly and said, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with that recommendation letter?"
Ximen Wenyu barely held back his laughter and said: "Senior brother, don't you know, this kid's recommendation book is actually stamped with a big seal of the jade seal, people with a little common sense know that even the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor rarely uses the jade seal of the country, only what sacrifices or major events in the world will be used, how can it be used on a small letter of recommendation?
"Oh?"
Li Tianming was also taken aback after listening to the other party's explanation, turned his head to look at Xu Chen, and whispered: "Little junior brother, your recommendation letter can't really be forged, right?"
Xu Chen shook his head slightly, he didn't know much about these politics or jade seals, and he didn't understand the laughter of those people.
As Senior Brother Wen Yu said, His Majesty the Emperor is rarely used, let alone a letter of recommendation, even if it is really the emperor himself who recommended you to come to the Shan Sect, he will never use the jade seal of the country. ”
Xu Chen still shook his head and said softly, "I don't know His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Before Li Tianming could speak, the letter of recommendation had been worn all over, and finally returned to Ximen Wenyu's hands, he shook it casually, as if he was fanning himself, glanced at Xu Chen mockingly, and said with a "helpless" face: "Boy, I can't return this thing to you, this is evidence, forged a letter of recommendation is nothing, but forged the jade seal of the country, this is a matter...... It's big!"
