Several people had their own thoughts, and under the leadership of the little book boy Jiang Ming, they soon arrived in front of a blue attic in the academy.
In the attic, the sound of Lang Lang's reading could be heard, but the sound stopped after Jiang Ming and others approached.
"Senior Brother Lin, someone has come to sign up for this selection assessment." Jiang Ming bowed in front of the door and said.
"Is someone coming again?"
The people in the attic seemed very surprised, and then a breeze blew by, and the attic door opened automatically, revealing an exquisite study room inside.
"Come in." The person in the attic said calmly.
After hearing this, Liang Yan did not hesitate and followed Fang Li and Buwen Jushi into the study.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw sandalwood curling up inside, and a smell of books came to his face. Looking to the north, he saw a man in rich clothes sitting behind the desk, looking at him with interest.
Fang Liren next to him took a step forward, raised his hands and said, "Junior Brother Lin, this is Liang Yan. He is here to participate in this Wushuang City selection assessment. Please register for him."
"Liang Yan? No, no, no!"
The man in the Chinese uniform waved his hand and said: "Senior Brother Fang, it's not that you don't know the rules. There is less than a month left before the selection and assessment, and the registration has been closed three days ago. I am just sorting it out now.
No new names will be added to the directory."
Fang Liren seemed to have expected that he would say this. At this time, he chuckled and said: "Junior brother Lin, Liang Yan was personally recommended by Senior Song Rusong. It's just a name added. It's not a big deal, right?"
While he was speaking, he took out a token from his sleeve and handed it over. The man in fine clothes stretched out his hand to take it. After observing it carefully for a moment, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's really Senior Song's token!"
The man in rich clothes raised his eyebrows, looked at Liang Yan carefully, and suddenly said with a smile: "What are these two days? Yesterday, a person was recommended to the city, and today another one comes? It doesn't matter, since you all have seniors
If you have a recommendation token, Lin will not make things difficult for you, so I will register it for you."
When he said this, he suddenly turned around, took down a volume from a thick bookshelf behind him, put it on the table and started to read it carefully.
"Well, the attic caves in Tianxing Academy have been fully booked. It seems that you will have to share a room with others temporarily."
As the man in rich clothes spoke, he flipped through the pages. His eyes finally stopped at the last page. He reached out and tapped a name on the page. He suddenly laughed and said:
"Yes, you can live in the same room with this guy! He was just recommended here yesterday, so you two can just get along!"
"Living in the same room?"
Liang Yan frowned. He had never been in the habit of living with others, but at this moment, he had no other choice.
As a monk who was temporarily added to take part in the assessment, being able to allocate a spot to him was already based on Song Ru's reputation, so how could he ask for more?
"Okay, since the cave at Tianxing Academy has been fully booked, I'll squeeze in with this person." Liang Yan said helplessly.
"Haha, you look a little unhappy, but don't think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you!"
The man in the Chinese uniform laughed at first, then winked at Liang Yan, and actually said through the voice: "It's not a bad thing to live in the same room with others. You must know that although there is still a month until the official selection, in fact, the real
The assessment has started now."
"What?"
Liang Yan was slightly startled when he heard this. He subconsciously looked at the two people beside him, but saw that Fang Li and Buwen Jushi had no expression at all. Only then did he realize that the other party was using sound transmission.
"What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"
Liang Yan was about to ask in detail, but he saw the man in rich clothes waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say more.
"Okay, your name has been registered by me. Now you are also a participant in this selection and assessment. This is your token. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the 'Tianxing Academy' and some other schools in Wushuang City.
You must keep this special place properly."
After saying this, the man in the rich uniform took out an orange token from his sleeve, typed a few spells on it, and then handed it to Liang Yan.
Liang Yan reached out to take it, looked down and saw that the word "Liang Yan" had been engraved in the middle of the token, and there was a number under the name, which was exactly: "One Hundred One Thirteen".
"One hundred and thirteen? Is this my number? Could it be that the number of monks participating in the selection test this time is exactly one hundred and thirteen?"
Just as Liang Yan was thinking secretly, the man in rich clothes spoke again: "The token contains the location of the cave. You only need to put your spiritual sense into it and follow the map inside to find your cave."
"Okay, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lin!"
Liang Yan put away the token in his hand, and then clasped his fists towards the man in fine clothes.
"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Senior Song. Okay, your matters have been dealt with. You three can just go ahead." The man in the Chinese attire waved his hand and said very casually.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Senior Brother Lin to still have such an impatient temper. Anyway, Bu Wen and I have to go back to recover, so I won't disturb Senior Brother Lin."
Fang Liren laughed and said nothing, turned around and pulled Liang Yan out of the study.
The man in gorgeous clothes sat down again and looked at the direction in which everyone was leaving. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, he shook his head and said: "For this session's selection assessment, there are famous Jindan realm masters in the Wushuang City territory.
, almost everyone is here, how come I have never heard of anyone named 'Liang Yan'? Who is this person, that he can be recommended by Senior Song?"
Naturally, no one answered his question. At this time, Liang Yan had already followed Fang Li and Buwen Jushi out of the courtyard.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, Buwen and I have to go to the 'Jiantiansi' to resume our lives. During this time, I will humiliate you and temporarily live in this 'Tianxing Academy'." Fang Liren said apologetically.
"Brother Fang, what are you talking about?"
Liang Yan chuckled and said: "Liang's ability to get a place in the competition is already thanks to you and Senior Song. How dare you expect more? Brother Fang, don't feel sorry. After this selection and assessment is over, let's talk about it.
Maybe he is a colleague from Wushuang City."
"Ha ha!"
Fang Liren had a bold temperament, and after hearing Liang Yan's words, he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Liang is absolutely right! Fang wishes you all the best, and after the assessment is over, I will drink with you for three days!"
"
"must!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly, gave Fang Liren a high-five, and then watched the big man in purple and the layman Buwen leave.
He pondered on the spot for a while, then suddenly turned his head and glanced at the pavilion behind him, and the words of the scholar in fine clothes just now came to mind again.
"What does it mean that the assessment has started now? Is there any mystery that can't be solved within a month before the official selection?"
Liang Yan thought about it for a long time. Although he had several guesses in his mind, he was not sure at the moment. He could only shake his head and thought to himself: "Forget it, let's go to the cave first and have a look."
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately reached out and took out his participation token from his sleeve, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and found his cave a moment later.
"As expected, I am the last one in line. This cave has been moved to the most remote corner of the mountain top, and I have to share it with others."
Liang Yan smiled helplessly, then followed the map and strode towards a cave in the northwest corner of the academy.
After half a stick of incense.
When Liang Yan came to the courtyard of an elegant and unique attic with a simple shape, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
In the attic courtyard, faint formation fluctuations can be seen vaguely. It is obvious that the person who checked in early has a careful mind and has arranged formation restrictions in the courtyard.
However, what surprised Liang Yan was not this formation, but one of the magic weapons as a formation weapon, which actually exuded a very familiar aura.
This magic weapon to suppress the formation was a colorful jade Ruyi, which Liang Yan had only seen in the hands of one person.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Liang Yan looked surprised and looked toward the attic in the yard. After a moment, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Which fellow Taoist is there? Please come out and see me!"
He has used his magical power to make this sound, and the sound will be transmitted directly to the attic in the courtyard, but will not escape anywhere else.
After a while, a surprised voice was heard coming from the attic:
"Huh?"
Then the attic door was pushed open suddenly, and a young scribe in white clothes and a feather fan and turban strode out from inside.
When this man saw Liang Yan, his eyes immediately lit up and he said with great joy: "Brother Liang, it's you!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon after we said goodbye last time." Liang Yan also had a smile on his face. The scholar in white clothes who appeared from the door was his old acquaintance, Ji Lai.
The two had worked together many times and got along pretty well. Now that they were reunited in a place like this, they both felt a little happy.
"Hahaha, come in quickly, come in quickly!"
Ji Lai casually cast a spell to lift the formation restrictions in the courtyard. He then took Liang Yan's hand and warmly invited him into the courtyard.
Liang Yan sat down at a stone table under the peach tree in the courtyard. Ji Lai took out a pot of spiritual wine from the storage ring like a magic trick, poured a full cup for Liang Yan and himself, and then also He sat down opposite him.
"Brother Liang, this is the spiritual wine that my master has collected. It's called 'Tai Qing Hong Yun Jian'. He has three idiots in his life, one of which is the 'wine fanatic'. Even he can't bear to drink this 'Tai Qing Hong Yun Jing'" , I spent a lot of effort to steal such a pot."
When Ji Lai said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he even looked a little complacent. Liang Yan was a little amused. He had already guessed that Ji Lai's master was Shen Sanchi, and he secretly cursed: "After all, Shen Sanchi is also a powerful person in the Tribulation Realm. If he accepts a disciple like you who cheats his master, I wonder if he will be so angry that he will burst into tears?"
However, he naturally would not say these words. He just smiled slightly and said: "Although Liang is not good at drinking, the aroma of this spiritual wine has almost penetrated into my mind. I can't even think about it if I don't want it!"
"Hahaha!"
Ji Lai laughed, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, and they drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Liang, you are really lucky! When I was in the Senluo Secret Realm, I accidentally got hit by the Su family's 'Fallen Bodhi', and I had to pretend to be dead to escape. I remember seeing Brother Liang being killed by a ferocious beast. After swallowing it, I mourned for you for a long time in my heart. I didn’t expect that you were fine at all, and this time I saw you again, you were already in the middle stage of the golden elixir! Tsk, tsk, Brother Liang is really a god!"
Ji said, giving him a thumbs up and praising him.
"Brother Ji is exaggerating. Liang is just lucky and got a little chance in that secret realm." Liang Yan raised his head and laughed, and then said: "When it comes to improving one's cultivation, Brother Ji is not too generous. It’s only been a few years since I last saw you, and you’ve already advanced from the early stage of the Golden Core to the middle stage of the Golden Core.”
After Ji Lai heard this, he shook his head indifferently and said: "I relied on my alcoholic master for help. The reason why I entered the Senluo Secret Realm was arranged by him. I got a wisp of Xuanzi in the secret realm. The master then helped to refine the Qi, and finally supplemented it with many rare elixirs, and finally managed to break through the bottleneck."
When he said this, he poured another glass of spiritual wine for Liang Yan and himself, and then said: "In comparison, Brother Liang is the really ruthless person! We haven't seen each other for just a few years, and you are already in the middle stage of Jindan. Monk, I'm a little curious, how did you escape from death, and what kind of opportunity did you get in the end?"
Liang Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said, and said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just good luck. There is a cave in the belly of the vicious beast. There is no danger. I got an unknown heart inside. After taking the spiritual fruit, my cultivation greatly improved and I successfully broke through the bottleneck. Then I was spit out by the ferocious beast, and I had a chance to escape."
What he said was obviously made up out of nowhere. He said it simply and clearly, but at the same time there was something unclear about it.
After Ji Lai heard this, he seemed to really believe it. He nodded and said, "So that's it. That spiritual fruit should be a spiritual creature created by nature. Brother Liang is really blessed by God. He could actually pick up such a treasure. Ji Lai I’m afraid I’m so jealous that I won’t be able to come.”
Seeing Ji Lai shaking his head and sighing, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
It's not that he doesn't trust this person, but he is a little afraid of the master behind him.
You must know that the original Senluo Secret Realm was planned by Master Lianxin on the surface, but whether it was Master Lianxin or Murong Hanqiu, there was the shadow of Shen Sanchi behind them.
As a result, the two of them worked hard until the end, but no one was the winner, which made Liang Yan a little more afraid of Shen Sanchi, whom he had never met before.
This person is anything but simple!
As Ji Lai was Shen Sanchi's disciple, although he said he had a good friendship with him, Liang Yan couldn't say anything to him.
The two were silent for a while, and then Liang Yan suddenly asked:
"By the way, as far as I know, doesn't Brother Ji already have a sect? Why are you still here to participate in the selection and assessment of this Wushuang City?"
