385 Commencement
Fortunately, the beggar still had some eyes, first picked up a rope from the ground and tied the girl, and then took out a black towel from nowhere and stuffed it into her mouth, rudely pushed her to the ground, and then took a few steps forward, waiting for Su Mu to beat him.
Su Mu's style of beating people is almost the same as his killing style, no fancy, only effective, a punch hit him in the ribs, the beggar was paralyzed at that time, pointed at Gu Xiaoshu resentfully, spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Untied the rope of Zhang Laohan's daughter, her first sentence was not to thank you, nor to go to my house to sit down, but stumbled and ran to the beggar like a furious poodle, and before she could stand firmly, she picked up and kicked at his crotch!
The beggar immediately shrank into a bow, and suddenly woke up, covering his crotch with his hands, his legs clamped, and screaming in a shocking manner.
The little ball on the side looked straight at it.
At that moment, she gave full play to the resentment and resentment of women after being humiliated, and her movements were as fast as lightning, especially the last kick, and the one that kicked was called an indomitable move, Su Mu stood beside the beggar and was stunned!
The girl in Shangwei was very grateful to Gu Xiaoshu, and she had to ask him to go to the house to sit and thank him well.
When she heard that he had come to take the exam, and because she couldn't find a place to live and was worried, the girl immediately promised to stay in her house.
When he got home, Zhang Laohan almost didn't kneel down when he heard that this young man had saved his daughter, his daughter had already made a name for herself in this area, and her in-laws were not easy to find.
Her family is not small and has six rooms, except for the kitchen and thatched house, which cannot be rented. Three bedrooms and one hall were rented out.
Her father slept in a room with his brother. She slept in one room with her mother. In order to prevent Su Mu from sleeping with Nalan in the same room, she insisted on letting Nalan squeeze together with her.
And the remaining bedroom was crammed with eight candidates. When you go out at night to pee, you can wake up two by stepping out.
There were even twelve people crammed into the living room. Two taels of silver per person per night.
In order to maintain a good state for the past few days, Su Mu insisted on sleeping in a small bedroom alone, so he drove away the other tenants in the room.
Su Muhao talked about the ink for a long time, and finally pulled Nalan angrily and said, "See, such a bright girl, serving me to do laundry, cooking, and studying." It's only one tael a month, and I'll sleep with you for five taels a night? It's a big deal that I'll pitch a tent on the outskirts of the city! And I can live at the foot of Thrushcross Mountain. β
Xiao Qiu'er hadn't washed or cooked for him, and saying it at this time was nothing more than to strengthen the context. Su Mu also later learned that this Nizi said that she would lie about everything, she was a foodie, and her only role besides eating was to read some books. But the sword really blocked it for him! He gladly raised her for this.
Zhang Laohan said with a bitter face: "Engong, Thrush Mountain is guarded by officers and soldiers, and it is strictly forbidden to set up tents like in the city. There shall be no one to live in it for twenty miles. β
"Then I'll sleep on the outskirts of the city. β
"There are three cliffs from the outskirts of the city to Thrushcross Mountain, and the only way to get through it is on the central avenue in the middle of the town of Orange County, and if you sleep on the outskirts of the city, you must first go through the city before you can go up the mountain. β
"So what? A fast horse is only five taels of silver. β
"Orange County, which normally has just over 3 million people, now has 40 million people, and rats can't run on the streets. Can your horse fly?"
"I saved your daughter. β
As soon as Su Mu's words came out, the old man was speechless, and the woman in the upper circle took the opportunity to help. Kill the house price to two taels.
In the evening, the woman in the upper circle enthusiastically made the bed for Su Mu, and she still didn't leave after the bed was made, and she talked very happily, but Huan was one of her, at first Su Mu could laugh twice to meet the situation, and then she couldn't get down when she watched her soaring feelings, and she couldn't stand it anymore, after all, I wasn't familiar with it, have you considered my feelings all the time?
He smiled awkwardly: "Sister Zhang, it's not early, I won't delay your rest, I'll send you." β
The girl in Shangwei said uninterestingly: "It's still early, let your maid go to sleep first, and we'll talk again." β
Xiao Qiu'er was indeed sleepy, and he had just slept after sitting next to Su Mu with his head on his shoulder, but he was worried that the young master would always listen to Duan Shu before going to sleep, so he waited all the time, and when he heard this, he went out in a daze.
After a while, Xiaoqiu'er came back and said, "Sister Zhang, there is someone in the courtyard looking for you and asking you to go out." β
Shangwei girl then remembered that she had a tryst with the examinee lover in the kitchen tonight, her face flushed, and she magically made a shy expression, and said that she would come back later.
After a bit of rain with her lover in the kitchen, the girl went to push Su Mu's door again, and found that it was locked, and the lights inside were also out, so she had to go back to the house to sleep.
The rooster crows, the sun rises.
Su Mu got up early in the morning, took the little ball to eat some breakfast at the mouth of the alley, and followed the crowd to Thrush Mountain.
Along the way, I heard that everyone has been discussing the outstanding candidates of this year, and there are four people who are the most outstanding, one is the Jin brothers and sisters of Hua Fengguo, and the other is the Ba Gang of Hua Wuguo, who is practicing kung fu and is said to dare to challenge even the monks of the mortal realm. The third is the color ink of the seven princesses of the Great World. There is no doubt about the overall level of Zhiwen Academy, but there are no particularly famous people. In fact, there are still many people who are outstanding, and even better than the above four in many aspects, but they are just a little famous.
There are many princes and nobles in the Great World Kingdom, and only the Seventh Princess is the most famous.
The first test was held on Thrushcross Hill in Orange County, as has been the case in previous years, and it has become a local tourist attraction.
More than 60 million people came to catch the exam. As soon as I went out, I felt depressed as if I couldn't breathe.
This is the largest number of candidates in the past, and the preliminary examination is expected to last for half a month.
Tianyi Pavilion sent fifty mortal realm disciples, all of whom were in the late stage realm. Their uniforms were very special, looking ethereal and agile, white gauze with at least three layers inside and out, and blue clouds embroidered on their chests.
Half of the disciples came this time, half male and half female.
Each of them is amiable and amiable, and they think they are hiding it well, but in fact it is just a gesture that seems to be friendly but is actually high. Their future goal is immortality, dazzling spells, and the most mysterious power in the world. The most unfortunate to return to the world, he is also a well-respected monk of the Heavenly Pavilion. Forces from all sides are vying to win over. So the expressions of their superiors can't help it. It is also a natural table xiΓ n.
A notice at the foot of the mountain says the exam rules. There are about 5 million people who take the test for 60,000 people at a time, 10 minutes each time, and nearly 10 hours a day. 15 consecutive days of examinations.
Such a huge and orderly workload made sentient beings breathe a sigh of relief, for fear that there would be too many people and they would not be able to take their turns.
Most of the people who came were first-timers, mostly between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, followed by the prime of life and middle age, and the other part was made up of children and the elderly.
There are many children about 10 years old at the foot of Thrush. There are also some old people in their sixties and seventies, but there are very few people in this vast crowd.
Instead of mocking them, the young people admired their enterprising spirit.
Su Mu's cautious character doomed him to be reluctant to take the first round of exams, and Nalan also said that he would see what the situation was, but they completely underestimated the terrible number of people, Thrush Mountain was big enough, but it was really unthinkable to accommodate so many people who visited the exam.
Eight million people crammed up the hill is already overloaded, and the rest can only regret it.
When Nalan was ready to regret, Su Mu had an idea. He was never the one to allow regret to happen, and he was ready to smear himself with blood.
This time. Feeling the crowd behind him, he gave way to a road, and it was hard to imagine that such a dense crowd could make such a wide road.
A girl came out with the moon in her hand, and the group of people behind her had a cold expression and a murderous aura, as if they had just arrived from the battlefield. The girl is none other than the Seven Princesses. Guan Xinglong's four personal guards were impressively beside him.
Orange County belongs to the Great World Kingdom, and Thrush Mountain and the 10,000 iron cavalry and 40,000 guards temporarily dispatched by the city in charge of security are all from the Great World Kingdom, which means that the Seven Princesses have a certain right to transfer. She wants to go up the mountain, who dares not to let her?
The generals behind the seventh princess looked at him in a complicated manner, they had all read the wanted warrant issued by the imperial court, as long as they took down this person, they didn't have to throw their heads and spill blood in their lives. But they didn't dare to act rashly, this person was a Spirit Realm cultivator, and it was very tricky, and if they didn't do it, they wouldn't even have the opportunity to spill their blood in the future.
Su Mu pushed the small ball into the crowd, held the handle of the knife behind his back with one hand, and retreated again and again.
Nalan didn't know what was going on, but when she saw a group of strict teams coming over there, and then looked at the young master's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, he immediately understood that he had met the enemy, and pushed her into the crowd in order to avoid affecting her, but she didn't want to stand in the crowd, and she was afraid of affecting the young master's battle, so she had to stand behind him, lest others not know that they were in a group.
"What are you doing here?" said the seventh princess with a smile: "I'm here for the exam, so we don't have to worry about the grievances between us for the time being." β
"Pass me the word. She explained to the people around her: "The affairs of the imperial court will be discussed after the exam." β
"Obedience. A mighty general replied in a deep voice.
"Open the way up the mountain. β
"Yes. β
The general walked forward with a group of officers and men, and the crowd of people they passed made way like a flood. The seventh princess took a noble posture and stepped elegantly.
"Are you coming?" Passing by Su Mu's side, she turned her head and asked without waiting for him to answer, and walked away.
Nalan saw that this girl was not easy to mess with, so he pulled Gu Xiaoshu's shirt and said, "Young master, let's not go, stay away from her." β
"Go, keep up. β
With the privilege to open the way, Su Mu followed the seventh princess up the mountain easily, and in front of everyone's eyes, he was embarrassed not to raise his head.
The Seventh Princess has been back to heaven for two months, and the feeling of going to hell and heaven has faded a lot, but when they meet again, they still have a different feeling. But at this time, she will not let herself fall into that kind of love again, even if she likes him a little, she can't show that he is the murderer who killed the prime minister of the previous dynasty, and he is the enemy of the imperial court.
During the mountaineering process, she didn't even look back, as if she didn't care about Su Mu at all.
"Is that the Seventh Princess of the Great World Kingdom? It's really worthy of its name, what a beautiful word! But ...... Who is that boy in black? It seems that there is a holiday, and it seems to be sheltering him again. β
Hua Wuguo's tyrant just stretched his neck to take a look at the demeanor of the Seventh Princess, and said with a little excitement.
The little guy next to him said: "It doesn't matter who he is, as long as the young master has a crush on the seventh princess, the little one will go over tonight to spread the word, with the young master's prestige in the neighboring countries on the left, the seventh princess must be eager to make friends." β
Ba Gang patted his head and said approvingly: "Very sensible." Over to you. β
The trump card of the Seven Princesses is really good here. I went straight to the stone lawn, which is said to be the main examination room.
Due to the proximity of the station. It is very clear that at the end of the stone flat are six rows of stone chambers of equal size, and there is a path leading to the stone flat in front of the door.
This stone flat is the most spacious place on the thrush, and there are thousands of stone chambers that can be seen from standing here, making it an excellent place to observe.
The sun rises and the exam is half an hour away, and people wait with bated breath.
Then. Ten Tianyi Pavilion disciples walked on the stone floor, took out a small emerald green sword, looked into the sky and threw it, the small sword turned into countless firefly-sized points of light, scattered all over the mountains, and a low and clear voice came from everyone's ears at the same time: "The stone room is here, it doesn't matter in order, whoever wants to enter when they want to enter it, those who are crowded and riotous, immediately drive down the mountain." Never qualify for the exam. It's time to go. β
The 60,000 stone chambers of Thrush Mountain originally had a faint light curtain and the stone doors in a closed state opened in unison, causing everyone to exclaim. Although it was a low shout, there were many people, and the momentum was extremely amazing, spreading all over the mountains, frightening the birds passing by in the air to turn around, and the various birds that originally lived in the mountains had already moved.
The points of light reconverged into a small sword and flew back into the disciple's hand.
But those who know know that the sword is just a treasure that works on its own, and it is not something that the disciple can control, all he does is throw it out, and when it is time to come back, it will come back by itself.
He's a sword-bearer.
Seeing the light gate disappear, the disciples who were standing at the door of the stone room waiting were all excited, but after listening to the words from the light point, they all humbled up and said politely to each other: "This brother is advanced." β
"Brother Tai, why be polite, you are advanced. β
......
Sixty thousand people entered the stone chamber, they were the first batch, everyone waited for their results with a hanging heart, everyone was very concerned, of course not about them winning, no one hoped that they would be able to pass guΓ².
It's just that on the one hand, I want to digest the anxiety and excitement in my heart, and on the other hand, I want to wait for them to come out to inquire about what is going on, what questions are there, and whether there is any reference for themselves.
The seventh princess came to Su Mu's side and said, "Is it difficult to try it for the first time with your experience?"
"It's my first time, how can I have any experience?"
"It's all this time, and you're still hiding it from me? Is the situation in your previous sect recruiting disciples the same as this? Is it also the third test?"
"I won't hide it from you, I don't know what's going on with the bloody water and ice hurting people you saw that day, maybe it's hell. I'm not a Spirit Realm monk, and if so, do you think I'm willing to suffer so many injuries before I can use a spell?"
"Really?"
"Lie to you and make me fail the test. This is the most poisonous oath at the moment, the seventh princess frowned, thinking back to the situation of that day, and became more and more puzzled.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on Nalan Manmiao, and after glancing at it twice, the more unpleasant she looked, those round eyes were lovely and indescribable, and it was precisely because of this that she hated it.
"Who's that little girl?"
"You don't care about that?"
"I'm the princess of the Great World, and I can control everything. β
"The hard-working baby I picked up on the road. β
"So, it's yours in the future?"
"Yes, you sold it to me. β
"You're really shameless, you can do it at such a young age?"
Since I met her, although she is arrogant and unreasonable, she loves to be sarcastic, but she has never scolded people directly, Su Mu can't help but laugh, what does it matter to you that I accepted a maid?
"Can you think of something clean? You don't care how many black businesses there are in the Great World Kingdom, you prefer to be temperamental in these little things. β
"I don't think it's clean? Why don't you reflect on how unclean you are, do you often let her beat your back and pinch your shoulders, and then pull it into your arms for a while......" She shook her head and sighed: "I'm embarrassed to continue." β
Su Mu thought about it, since she bought it, she really didn't let her beat her shoulders and rub her back, and after she said it, she became interested, sat on a stone, and said, "Qiu'er, the young master has a sore back." β
Nalan Manmiao hurriedly came over, grabbed the pink fist and smashed it seriously on his waist.
"How much money did you buy this maid, I want it, I really can't see you corrupting the atmosphere of the world so much!"
Nalan's eyes lit up and said, "Buy me, how much silver will you give me every month?"
"Ten taels. β
"Don't go. The young master told me that if someone buys you in the future, the price is too high, which means that person has bad intentions. Although the young master gave me a small amount of silver. But he's my idol. I earn little money, but I am very down-to-earth and comfortable. β
"Your idol positioning is too tasteless, isn't it? He doesn't learn anything, he is rude and rude, especially he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, do you have a good life with him?"
"This princess of the Great World, I ask you, if you are separated from your family. Being locked in a cage by the bad guys, not giving you food, scolding and beating, and insulting you, at this time, someone is not allowed to insult you, and he is killed and saved you in a dispute, what do you think?"
"Is this your experience? Hmph, clichΓ©. β
"At that moment, the young master was the best person in the world in my eyes. β
The seventh princess sneered: "A child is a child, and measuring a good person is also based on how much he benefits, which is unbearable." β
Su Mu said: "Princess." Don't be a child, you're only a year older than her. β
"I'm much more mature than she is. Look at her pet face. At first glance, you can tell that it doesn't grow much. β
Nalan bit his lip, not speculative, reluctant to speak again.
"It's out!"
Ten minutes later, the examiners in the stone chamber walked out at the same time, and most of them looked like they had lost their souls, and they went down the mountain in despair.
There are also a very few people who are as excited as chicken blood, and they are high-spirited, and whenever someone comes to ask, they will answer with full of anger: "I have passed guΓ²!"
"Go and ask how many people are there. The seventh princess was a little impatient, walked around and looked at the stone room over there, and said to a few deputy generals around her.
The adjutant generals led hundreds of officers and soldiers towards the stone chamber, all of them with black lines on their faces, 60,000 stone chambers is not a small number, and the task is unimaginably cumbersome.
It wasn't until four or five groups of people came in and out of the stone chamber that the lieutenants came in stride and said, "Princess, ask clearly, the first batch of forty-two people has passed." β
Su Mu only started to walk to the stone room in the afternoon, and the Seventh Princess immediately followed.
The Kim siblings also entered the stone chamber together.
Standing at the door, Gu Xiaoshu said to Nalan: "Qiu'er, you can try it too." β
"Young master, what if I get admitted to the tuition?"
Xiao Qiu'er looked forward to the young master's bold words: "If you are really so competitive, I will cover the tuition." β
Su Mu said, "It's okay, you can't pass the exam." β
Xiaoqiu'er flattened her mouth: "Then why should I test it?"
"It's okay to get involved, otherwise you'll have to wait another ten years when you think about it. β
The stone room was very deep, and after entering, the light door was immediately closed, Su Mu saw that there was a hut inside, and after entering, he saw a water wave on the wall, and there was a figure inside, wearing a white gauze robe, and an old face like an ancient well looked at him lightly.
"Young man, why are you carrying a knife?"
Su Mu didn't know if this meant that the first test had begun, but since the other party had already spoken, he couldn't treat it as a casual chat, he had to take it seriously.
"Strive for self-preservation. β
The old man asked again, "Why did you bring a knife?"
Su Mu was stunned, didn't he answer? Isn't it to his taste?
So he tried to make his words as clear as possible, and said: "I used to bring a knife to kill people, but now I want to protect myself. β
"No, I'm asking why you have a knife?"
Su Mu was a little puzzled, so he had to change his answer: "I used to play with fire, and I have been believing that the knife is in the person since the first mission, and it is my right-hand man." β
"I'm asking why you brought a knife?" the old man's tone was as calm as at the beginning, and his expression was so calm.
Su Mu was stunned, Lao Tzu has been carrying this knife for so many years, can you understand better than me why you are carrying it?
"To survive?" he asked rhetorically, with a somewhat collapsed expression, as if he were asking.
The old man in the water wave slowly spoke: "If I want to kill you, give you two choices, you can draw a knife, but I will kill you." You can also not draw the knife, maybe it will let you live. β
Su Mu lowered his head and thought about it, and said secretly: "If I don't pull out the knife, he will definitely mock me that the knife is useless when I encounter the strong, so bringing the knife is to bully the weak." I said draw the sword, although it sounds heroic, but hypocrisy, he will see through it. β
Thinking about it, his face became more and more stern, and he said calmly but firmly: "I want to draw a knife." β
After a period of silence, the old man was still expressionless, but his eyes were a little kinder, and he said in a deep voice: "What is the place to play with fire?"
"Killer organization, I'm out. β
"But you're still going to kill. β
"Not bad. β
"The death of the little tear man, have you taken revenge?"
Su Mu involuntarily stepped forward and said in surprise: "Do you know Little Tears?"
"No, just find out in your head that this person is important to you. β
"Can you see what's in my head?"
"The old man talked to 60,000 people at the same time, he couldn't be fine, just a quick glance, you can rest assured, the old man only took this thought from your mind, and there was no intention of snooping on privacy. β
Su Mu had more respect for the old man, he thought that there was a special person to inquire about each stone room, but who knew that he was the only one. What is the ability to chat with 60,000 people at the same time?
"Little Tears is my best friend, and I have killed her. β
"Come here, come closer. Imagine me as that person and recreate the image of you killing him. β
Su Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "I said something when I killed him, do you want to listen to it too?"
The old man nodded: "Yes." (To be continued......)
