(New book hits the list, please ask for all kinds of things!)
The night is shrouded, the north wind is blowing, and the lights in Zhongnanjian Mansion are brightly lit. Reading at midnight
In the inner palace, in a sword room of the inner disciples, Luo Gang sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and concentrating. There were also three male disciples wearing blue inner disciple uniforms standing in the room, all observing with concern.
With Luo Gang's complexion.
There are more than 200 new generation disciples in Zhongnan Sword Mansion, but only a few dozen of them have become inner disciples. Those in the room now are all friends who are usually good friends with Luo Gang.
Luo Gang failed to solve the sword problem today and suffered backlash and injuries. The situation is not optimistic.
After about half a cup of tea, Luo Gang finally opened his eyes and got out of bed.
"Brother, how do you feel?"
"Senior Brother Luo, are you okay?"
Words of concern flowed out of my mouth.
Luo Gang smiled slightly and said: "I'm fine. Haha, although I failed to solve the sword problem today, it was not without gain. I have figured out the key tips. I believe that if I try again tomorrow, I will definitely be able to solve this Xuanjie low-grade sword.
Question."
Hearing his confident words, the other three showed happy expressions and praised one after another:
"Brother Luo, good job."
"Haha, tomorrow Brother Luo will solve the sword problem in one fell swoop and take the lead. I believe that Gu Chengyang's face will look ugly."
"Of course."
"Tsk, tsk, if you say this, wouldn't it mean that senior brother will be a step ahead in the assessment of competing for true disciples? Congratulations!"
——Zhongnan Jianfu has been established for thousands of years and has strict rules. The disciples are divided into three categories: outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.
True disciples are very important. They are prepared and cultivated as candidates for the next generation of power. Regardless of their cultivation and loyalty, they must undergo repeated inspections and reviews. Only those who pass the exam can be selected.
There are also regulations that the current master of the Jian Mansion can accept two true disciples; each of the four elders can accept one true disciple. In this way, there are a total of six true disciples. If unexpected factors such as dismissal or death occur, the number of true disciples will be reduced.
A replacement occurs.
But now, there are only two true disciples of Zhongnan Sword Mansion, less than half.
As the saying goes, it is better to be lacking than to be indiscriminate. The true disciples are too involved and no one will accept them casually. And the relevant assessments are everywhere, mainly for the inner disciple group.
Luo Gang is one of the leaders of the new generation of disciples and is a key subject for inspection. As long as he performs outstandingly in the Sword Lecture Hall, he will undoubtedly receive more impression points.
In this way, he can stand out compared to other competitors.
Tomorrow is really worth looking forward to!
…
Clang clang clang!
The melodious sword practice bell rang, signaling the arrival of a new day.
After practicing the sword and having breakfast, all the disciples rushed to the sword lecture hall.
"Brother Luo, look, Gu Chengyang is over there."
The companion next to him whispered.
Luo Gang looked up and saw his rival Gu Chengyang, who had always been at odds with him, also entering the lecture hall surrounded by several inner disciples.
At the same time, Gu Chengyang looked at him with awareness, his eyes met, and sparks seemed to burst out.
Luo Gang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said secretly: "Looking at him, he should also go up to solve the sword problem today. No, we can't be overtaken by him."
Yesterday, I solved the sword problem. Although I suffered backlash and was injured, I was a blessing in disguise. I figured out some key tips and my grasp doubled. Although Gu Chengyang may not be successful in solving the problem, but what if? If the opponent solves it, it will be too late.
.
Gu Chengyang was half a head taller than Luo Gang. He looked like a tree in the wind. He glanced at Luo Gang and then looked away. There were also waves in his heart: Yesterday, he actually wanted to step forward to solve the sword problem, but
After a moment of hesitation, Luo Gang took the lead and was a little annoyed at the time.
Fortunately, Luo Gang couldn't crack it and instead vomited blood and was injured.
Seeing this, Gu Chengyang felt a little gloating about his misfortune. So he held his troops back and recuperated for one more night before taking action today.
Hundreds of disciples sat on their own futons. They were not just a motley crowd. They sat upright, quietly and solemnly, waiting for Elder Xiao Jihai to come.
Not long after, Xiao Jihai's short and fat figure appeared. He put his hands on his back and stepped onto the podium. First, he glanced at the disciples habitually, coughed dryly, said some clichés, and then said: "Who else is there now?"
Want to come up and solve the sword problem?"
He wasn't ready to explain the tricks all at once, but he still had hope.
"I come!"
They spoke in unison, surprisingly unanimously, it was Luo Gang and Gu Chengyang who raised their hands to speak at the same time.
Many eyes suddenly glanced over at him.
As two outstanding rookies of the new generation of disciples, Luo Gang and Gu Chengyang are destined to have difficulty becoming friends. They have been compared with each other too many times. The more they compare, the stronger the smell of gunpowder.
From the perspective of Jianfu, the superiors like this kind of competition - without competition, how can there be progress? As long as the competition is not overdone, not only will they not interfere, but they will encourage it.
Now, Luo Gang and Gu Chengyang want to solve the sword problem at the same time, which is exactly what Elder Xiao is happy to see. He chuckles: "Luo Gang, you already tried it once yesterday. Now let Gu Chengyang come first.
How is it?"
When Luo Gang heard this, he became anxious. He cupped his fists and said, "Elder Xiao, it is precisely because this disciple tried it once yesterday and after going back to reflect on it, he felt that he had a deep understanding of it. That's why he has to crack it again. Please ask the elder to help you."
When Xiao Jihai heard this, he cheered up and said, "So, are you sure?"
Luo Gang held his head high and said loudly: "I dare not say 100%, but it should be possible."
Xiao Jihai was overjoyed: "Okay, come up!" As long as Luo Gang solved the sword problem, all the troubles that had been bothering him for a long time would be gone.
Over there, Gu Chengyang's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything anymore, and his face became a little ugly: Listening to Luo Gang's tone, he was quite sure. If he really cracked it, wouldn't he be given the upper hand by the other party?
Luo Gang glanced at his competitor provocatively, then strode up and stood in front of the stone wall, facing the sword inscription. Without looking back, he could feel that everyone's eyes were definitely focused on him - he liked and
Enjoy this highly anticipated treatment.
Then, take a long breath, start to drive your thoughts, and solve the sword problem——
Buzz!
But as soon as his mind came into contact with the turtle-shell-like sword carrier, it suddenly changed and rustled, and the carrier instantly fell apart, turned into powder, and fell down like quicksand.
When Xiao Jihai, who was standing aside, saw this scene, his eyes suddenly froze and he cried out: "Luo Gang, have you successfully cracked it?"
But there is still a doubt in my heart. After all, the cracking process is too fast, which is a bit unreasonable. But if the sword problem has not been cracked, it will definitely not be smashed into slag.
Luo Gang also had a dull look on his face. He turned around blankly after a while and replied in a dumbfounded voice: "Elder Xiao, it's not me..."
