In the southwest of Changling, there is a Baishui River and the Wei River are connected, at the end of the Baishui River, there is a green mountain, the legendary Minshan Sword Sect, is in this green mountain.

The carriages and horses all stayed in a meadow at the end of the official road, and there was only half an hour left before the opening of the Minshan Sword Sect, in addition to all kinds of young people who looked up at the green mountains in front of them, their faces showed yearning and excitement, there were also columns of cavalry troops in full armor walking around, and in some temporary tents, many officials of the Patriarchal Department were nervously reviewing some ritual utensils and sacrifices.

In some places where the crowd is sparse, there are also some swordsmen in black or green clothes who stop and look around expressionlessly, these swordsmen exude a haze smell that the sun can't get rid of, either belonging to the Heavenly Prison Division or the Divine Capital Prison.

Every year, the Minshan Sword Meeting is naturally extremely grand, and this time the Minshan Sword Meeting has become a major event that must be recorded in history because Emperor Yuanwu wants to sacrifice to the heavens and worship the ancestors.

There are still many tourists on the Qingshan Meadow, they just want to see the scene of the opening of the Minshan Sword Sect up close, and at this time, they look at the cyan ancient trees at the end of the meadow, and their mood is becoming more and more expectant and nervous.

Those ancient cyan trees are clearly much shorter than the green hills behind them, but these tourists look at the past, and those green hills seem to be covered by these ancient trees, and they can clearly see those green hills reaching into the clouds, but they can't see the true face of those green mountains.

The most important thing is that they all know that among the green mountains in front of them, there is the highest green mountain called Motian, which has not appeared in their sight at all!

Hiding a mountain from people's sight is also an extremely amazing means for cultivators, let alone ordinary people who don't understand the principles of cultivation. Some of the images, in their eyes, are almost miraculous.

It's just that their reactions and expectations at this time, in the eyes of some people, are childish and ridiculous.

For example, the palace maid surnamed Rong next to the queen.

The carriage she was in was at the end, far from the places where the officials and the cultivation places had put forward the candidates, and most of the tourists who stayed around were tourists who came to watch the excitement.

At this time, her gaze fell on these people through the gap in the curtain, and some disgust gradually appeared in her eyes, which were originally not emotional.

It didn't take long for there to be a tremor on the ground in the distance, and even some ordinary people around who were just watching the excitement felt abnormal, and became a little restless, and two neighing horses sounded, and the carriage did not move.

The maid understood what the coachman meant, and she tapped her finger twice on the inner wall of the carriage, and the carriage fell silent.

Her gaze fell coldly to the official road behind her, and her eyes with a look of disgust became cold again.

With the trembling of the ground, the voices of people gradually boiled, and the troops who had patrolled in the distance before gradually converged, isolating a passage in front of the cyan ancient forest.

Without warning, hundreds of cyan air currents flowed out from the ancient forest against the ground, and the moment the trembling of the ground suddenly stopped, dozens of cyan ancient trees disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, replaced by a cyan jade gate.

Almost no one paid attention to the size and style of this cyan jade gate, because at the same time as this cyan jade gate appeared, a straight mountain path and a cyan giant mountain appeared completely in front of everyone.

This mountain path and the cyan giant mountain appeared so abruptly, for most people, it was like two things forced into their eyes.

The mountain road and the cyan giant mountain are as straight as the sword, and with a sharp sword intent, so the eyes of the vast majority of people began to sting and cry, the more they wanted to see the whole picture of the mountain road and the cyan giant mountain, the more they couldn't see it clearly for a while.

The melodious ceremonial music sounded, and the officials of each department passed through the green jade gate in turn and walked up the mountain road behind.

After the officials of the various divisions first passed through the mountain gate of the Guò Minshan Sword Sect, the teachers and selected students of the various cultivation places also got out of the carriage and began to register the roster in turn, leading to the Guò Mountain Gate.

The atmosphere grew solemn, and gradually became silent.

"Why haven't you yet, are you really scared?"

In the procession, a young man in a luxurious brocade robe turned his head to look at it several times, and muttered uncontrollably.

In the silence at this time, such a muttering naturally seemed extremely harsh, and a silver-shirted middle-aged teacher next to him suddenly turned a little pale, and lowered his voice and said sharply: "Xie Changsheng, you dare to speak casually at this time! Be careful that I cancel your student selection qualification!"

This young man with a young face who sometimes didn't take anything to heart was naturally Xie Changsheng, the only son of the Xie family, who was a huge wealthy man in Guanzhong, and when he heard the reprimand of this middle-aged teacher, he immediately became angry and said: "Uncle Chen! This qualification for student selection was obtained by me by donating a lot of silver taels in exchange! Real money and silver, what qualifications do you have to cancel my qualification for student selection, even the master of the audience may not dare to say such a thing!"

The silver-shirted middle-aged division commander shook his head, and turned his head away from Xie Changsheng with an angry face.

"Who is my Dao, it turns out to be the only son of the Xie family... I actually bought a place by force. ”

And the students in some of the cultivation places who heard Xie Changsheng's words around all had sarcastic expressions on their faces, obviously because Xie Changsheng's cultivation was not enough to participate in this Minshan Sword Meeting on behalf of Baiyun Temple, but he forcibly donated a huge amount of money in exchange for such a place.

"Why hasn't that boy come to the liquor shop until now?"

After knowing Xie Changsheng's identity, most of the candidates who heard Xie Changsheng's muttering naturally knew that what Xie Changsheng was talking about was Ding Ning.

After experiencing a Lushan Alliance, the seat of the talent book has changed a lot, some of which have disappeared directly, while some people's names have risen quickly, although I have never heard of Ding Ning and who did it, but the Zhou family has inexplicably disappeared in Changling, and the Zhou family Moyuan has also inexplicably returned to the wine shop boy, and his ranking on the talent book has quietly risen to twenty-nine, which is the most amazing one in the talent book.

No matter what happened during the entire Lushan Alliance, in the minds of all the candidates who participated in the Minshan Sword Club, Ding Ning, a young man in the wine shop, was naturally one of the most vigilant opponents.

But now, would this young man in the wine shop just give up on this event for some unexpected reason?

"I'm sure he'll come. ”

A determined woman's voice sounded and reached Xie Changsheng's ear.

Xie Changsheng's brows jumped slightly, he didn't need to turn his head, he could also hear that this was Nangong Caishu's voice.

Behind the gate of Qingyu Mountain, there are several Xuanfu officials who are responsible for recording these candidates who participate in the sword meeting, and behind these Xuanfu officials, there is a slightly older Xuanfu official who does not hold a pen and paper, but just watches quietly with his hands behind his back, at this time he clearly heard Nangong Caishu's words, but thinking of the temperament of the hostess in the palace, the corners of his mouth were faintly mocking, thinking that even if he came, what could he do?

"It's a shame not to come. ”

At this moment, an indifferent voice came into the ears of Xie Changsheng and the others and the slightly older Xuanfu official at the same time.

Xie Changsheng turned his head, but his pupils contracted sharply.

The Xuanfu official looked at the voice, but his breath couldn't help but pause slightly.

The person who spoke out was Gu Xichun, he was naturally no stranger to Xie Changsheng and others, but it was only a few months later, his description had changed a lot compared with before, at the moment his figure was thinner, even his face seemed narrower, and the most palpitating thing was that his pupils were slightly sunken, which made his eyes seem to be stuck in two deep shadows, and there were a few wisps of blood in the corners of his eyes, as if they were about to ooze out of his skin at any time.

......

The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the official road.

At this time, the last student in the line was also about to walk through the mountain gate, and some tourists who had tears in their eyes but still couldn't see what the mountain road behind the mountain gate and the skyscraper peak where the Minshan Sword Sect was located were covered their eyes and turned around, thinking to themselves who was so arrogant, and only arrived at this time.

The palace maid surnamed Rong looked at the two carriages that were belatedly with an expressionless face, as if looking at two insignificant ants.

However, just as the two carriages stopped, Ding Ning lifted the curtain, and the moment she felt the breath on Ding Ning's body, her eyes were full of shock, and then hidden anger.

Her face was slightly cold, exuding a porcelain-like luster, and then she snorted softly, and the carriage carrying her moved, stopping in front of Ding Ning and the others who had just gotten off.

When the carriage moved, Ding Ning already knew who the person in it was, he took a deep breath, and his face was slightly cold.

Zhang Yi and Shen Yi were busy helping Xue Wangxu get out of the car, and suddenly felt the chill blowing in the carriage, and their bodies were inexplicably stiff, and great fear was born in their bodies.

"You've disappointed me so much. ”

The black curtain shook like a tide, revealing a gap, and the indifferent face of the palace maid surnamed Rong appeared in the sight of Ding Ning and the others for a moment, and then disappeared behind the curtain, only an emotionless voice slowly came out: "I can tolerate your willful behavior in Moyuan, but you shouldn't do it again." ”

Ding Ning calmly looked at the black curtain and said, "I don't understand what you mean." ”

The palace maid surnamed Rong in the black curtain did not argue or reprimand, but said in a light tone: "You shouldn't do this." ”

As these words came out, the hot air suddenly became cold.

In front of Ding Ning, a hand appeared.

A hand made of the vitality of heaven and earth.
