Xu Chen, who returned to the Gathering Courtyard, seemed to be a different person and became more transparent than before.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." And this time, the old monk never even said anything valuable, he just played such a game of chess, to be precise, it made Xu Chen play such a move, but it completely changed his mind.

Xu Chen gently took out the small jade sword of turquoise, just as he saw when he left the Leadhua Temple, in this small jade sword, the blood thread that used to be has quietly disappeared, more precisely, this blood thread is no longer a line, but has changed shape, a swastika.

Slowly and slowly, Xu Chen did not rush to sleep, but sat cross-legged on the bed, quietly meditating and practicing.

At this time in the past, he was tossing and turning, thinking about how to explore the secrets of the Dushan Sect, about the Drizzle Pavilion, about the Blue Kite Pavilion, he believed that there would be the answers he wanted there.

And after a confrontation with the old monk, after passing through that illusion, he understood a truth, that is, even if he discovered some secret at this time, or even if he found the real enemy at this time, what could he do? Can he really draw his sword and go forward? It can only be sent to death.

Everyone has too many thoughts, even if not hatred, but also hopes or dreams, and these things can blindfold people and forget who they are.

......

Day 2.

Xu Chen still went to the church as usual, and there was nothing unusual, as if the three deaths and three lives last night had nothing to do with him.

I don't know why, today's teaching has not appeared, this is too unusual, you know, the teaching of the Dushan Sect is punctual like guarding life, and it never lasts so long at night.

The other disciples were very happy, talking and laughing in their own small circles, or telling anecdotes about their deaths.

Occasionally, I could hear someone talking about the massacre in Xicheng last night, and that serious expression seemed to be a personal experience.

As for Xu Chen, he sat quietly in the last row of the teaching house, still silent, still like no one around, but there was a rare smile on his face at this time.

"What's wrong? What happened to the girl you slept with yesterday?"

Pan An turned his head and said with a trembling fat face and big ears, still so improper, still so cute.

Xu Chen smiled slightly and did not answer.

Who knows, Pan An was actually interested, and seeing that the teacher still did not come to the teaching house, he simply turned around, rode on the chair upside down, and said to Xu Chen face to face: "Hey, didn't you go to Anfu with that scarface yesterday? Did you hear about it in the city, last night, no! Anyway, last night, there was a murder in the western part of the capital. ”

"Oh!

Xu Chen's face did not change and his heart did not beat, "I haven't heard of it, Anfu is in Dongcheng, how could I hear about what happened in Xicheng? Besides, I came back after dinner, how could I hear about what happened in the capital." ”

"Oh, that's right!"

Pan An nodded, and became even more interested, "You don't know, I'll tell you about it! I heard that the news came out early this morning, and several day students heard about it, early this morning, there was a tofu seller, and he inadvertently walked to the side of Lane 51, and when he walked to a corner, guess what he saw?"

"Dead bodies!"

Xu Chen replied casually.

"How do you know?"

"You just said it was a murder, isn't that a dead body, is it a few girls?"

Xu Chen learned Pan An's tone and habits and replied.

"yes, yes! It's a dead body, but you can't think of how many. ”

Pan An pursed his lips proudly, stretched out a finger firmly in his right hand, and said in a thoughtful manner: "More than a hundred, more than a hundred dead corpses." This is the biggest homicide in the capital in decades, and I heard that the emperor was shocked. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Chen looked at Pan An suspiciously, and said leisurely: "I only found out this morning, why do you know that the emperor is alarmed now? This news spread too quickly, right?"

"Then look at it, it's fast!"

Pan An patted his thigh and said, "Because one of these corpses is from the imperial history of the court, and there are dozens of them from the imperial forest army, do you think this can not alarm the emperor?"

What Pan An said was out of the blue, as if he had never heard such big news, and if it didn't get out of his mouth, it would definitely become a lifelong regret.

At this time, several other people not far away seemed to be talking about the same thing, and the people around them gathered more and more, and they didn't want to miss such a big anecdote, and in the middle of that group of people was that Ximen Wenyu, it seemed that he didn't know that everything was actually related to his father, and he didn't know that there was a pair of smiling eyes staring at him from time to time, but behind those eyes was full of death.

Pan An still told Xu Chen all kinds of trivial and interesting things.

While everyone was having a lively discussion, the door of the church was suddenly pushed open.

When all the disciples looked at it, they were all taken aback, it turned out that it was not only the teaching that walked in, but also Lin Lingsu, who they rarely saw.

Lin Lingsu held his hands behind his back, followed by five or six sects of the Dushan Sect, each of them with serious expressions, obviously there should be something important going on, or something important to announce.

"Kids!"

Walking to the center of the front of the teaching house, Lin Lingsu shouted loudly, so that the following could be completely quiet.

"I am here today to announce one thing, and that is that the Drizzle Pavilion is about to open. It happened suddenly, and I don't have to explain it to you so much. Because the preparation is not very sufficient, so, when it was opened this time, it was different from the past, and it happened that the midterm exam was approaching, so I discussed it with a few teachers, and this time the selection into the Drizzle Pavilion was based on the results of the midterm exam. ”

"We have a total of three academies in the Shan Sect, and each of our academies will select two, that is, the top two with the best results in the mid-term examination, and then these six people will conduct further tests. Of course, as in the past, only one disciple would be recruited when the Drizzle Pavilion was opened, so only one of the six would enter the Drizzle Pavilion. ”

Speaking of this, the disciples below were dumbfounded, they didn't speak, they didn't talk to each other, but everyone's eyes were full of excitement.

You must know that if the Dushan Sect is a palace that everyone in the world wants to enter, then the Drizzle Pavilion and the Blue Kite Pavilion are the places that all the disciples of the Dushan Sect dream of.

Because if you enter the two pavilions, it means that you will get more resources, including cultivation guidance, more sword scores, and more cultivation medicines, and that kind of growth speed is not comparable to that of an ordinary disciple.

Of course, being able to enter the Blue Kite Pavilion is naturally the ultimate for these disciples, because that will mean that you have become one of the few disciples of Xuanwei Zhenren, which is a great honor and opportunity in the eyes of anyone, not only a big family, the powerful people in the court, but even the emperor himself wants his various princes to enter the Blue Kite Pavilion.

It's a pity that Xuanwei Zhenren has a strange temper and almost doesn't buy anyone's account, he only looks at talent and chance, so although the Blue Kite Pavilion is standing there, it has become a dream for everyone.

The Drizzle Pavilion is different, it will be opened regularly, but this time is a bit long, ten years. The Drizzle Pavilion will be opened once every ten years, and if it is not opened once, someone will be able to enter it and become a member of the Drizzle Pavilion.

And if you think carefully, if according to the past practice, there are still six years before the next opening, how many people are waiting for this outbreak.

Who would have thought that happiness came too suddenly, suddenly to the point that these disciples couldn't believe it.

No matter what kind of cultivation he is, and no matter what his aptitude is, every disciple present thinks that this is God's favor for him.

Even Pan An in front of Xu Chen was trembling with excitement.

That's all I'm going to say today. ”

Lin Lingsu said in a loud voice again, "I hope each of you will work hard in this month, I believe that everyone has the opportunity to enter the Drizzle Pavilion." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused and said, "By the way, from today onwards, until the Drizzle Pavilion opens, the Wanjing Pavilion at the top of the peak will be open for you at any time, and you can go inside to borrow books at any time." It's just that we have a lot of disciples in the Dushan Sect, and it is impossible for you all to read books in it, so Wanjing Pavilion will not be able to bear it. Therefore, it takes a certain amount of time each time, and you can leave when you are done borrowing. Well, that's all it takes to say that this time. ”

Lin Lingsu smiled slightly, but he looked extremely heavy, he looked at the few teachers at the door, and said softly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The teachers shook their heads in unison, indicating that there was nothing to add.

Lin Lingsu nodded, looked at the disciples below, and said softly: "Because there are some things in the sect today that need to be studied and discussed by all the teachings, this morning's class has been changed to self-study." ”

As he spoke, Lin Lingsu looked at Li Tianming in the first row and advised: "When it's time to get out of class at noon, just leave school directly!"

Li Tianming got up and said yes.

After a while, Lin Lingsu left the teaching hall with the teachers, and looking through the window, Lin Lingsu was leading the teachers towards the direction of the peak.

Watching the head of the sect and the teachers gradually walk away, there was a sudden cheer in the teaching room.

"God bless me, the Drizzle Pavilion is about to open so early!"

"Yes, I must enter the Drizzle Pavilion this time, and I must ......."

"Okay! There is a total of one person who can enter, and if you want me to say, I'm afraid there will be no drama in our Gathering Courtyard!"

"Can you not increase the prestige of others, who said that our Gathering Soul Courtyard has no play, why will there be no play with me?"

"Cut!" Li Tianming, who was a senior brother, couldn't maintain the scene at all at this time, and the noise resounded throughout the sect house.

At this time, Pan An turned his head again and looked at Xu Chen excitedly, "Xu Chen, did you hear that? The Drizzle Pavilion is about to open, why don't I think you are not excited at all?"

"yes! The opening of the Drizzle Pavilion is indeed exciting. ”

Xu Chen replied calmly, "But, what does this have to do with you?"

"This ......"

Pan An was unconscious, "Yes, but you can see the excitement, anyway, it doesn't have much to do with you, right?"

Xu Chen smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of doubt, "Could this be related to last night's incident?"
