The silence was followed by bursts of excitement. Although the young Toshiyan had different expressions in their eyes, they still ignored this strange episode. After all, they were the protagonists tonight, and the unknown
Perhaps the young man in blue shirt had some bad luck and happened to be fascinated by the innocent and charming Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion's jewel that day, and made an unprecedented promise.
After a small talk between the couple and Ye Jingxuan, the deputy master of the Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion, the middle-aged man with a beautiful beard and double beard retreated as if he was complimentary. But his eyes were burning like fire.
A series of exquisite rays of light swept over the young people, and with a clear cough, he announced that the next selection had begun. The eyes of the young people were filled with excited light, and they either jumped with desire, or secretly tightened their grip.
of fists.
Under the leadership of the middle-aged man with a beautiful beard and a double beard, the young men followed him and walked through the exquisite lanterns under the Qingfengju Pavilion. After crossing a long covered bridge, there was a place in front of them.
The spacious courtyard must be located in the center of Mingyue Lake. It is a large island in the center of the lake. The rippling blue water of the lake can be seen everywhere, and the mist dances enchantingly around this large island.
It is hazy and clear, as if you are in a fairyland.
Ye Yinfeng touched the tip of his nose. He was walking at the back. He paid special attention and found that the princes did not follow him. The fat Taoist priest and the fat Li Liuzi were no longer behind him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had murderous intentions for him, was nowhere to be seen. The couple and the little fairy girl who looked like a pink jade carving were also nowhere to be found. There must be some connection between the couple of the masters of the Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion and the princes.
Hidden transactions or relationships.
Two rows of exquisite lamps, as bright and soft as pearls, were hung high. The fog was rising, and the hazy light illuminated the lake surface like a emerald green jade, which made people feel a bit surprised.
.
The water vapor, mist, and the surrounding snow, the soft light hanging high through the hazy mist, this scene and this feeling are better than all the beautiful scenery under the sky, making people fascinated.
There are ripples of blue waves, heavy fog and shadows, dim lights, and shadows of people swaying across each other. From time to time, layers of light fog appear on the corridor, curling up, making everyone's expressions blurry and unclear.
The true look on their faces at this moment.
After walking into the island in the middle of the lake, Ye Yinfeng was extremely amazed. He saw the exquisite and orderly courtyard of the island, the rockery pavilions, the cobblestone paths, and the few red pavilions in the haze of smoke.
It is a microcosm of the Jiangnan water town. The snow on the rockery is covered with light, and the ice edges hanging upside down on the pavilions emit a cold light. It is like a fantasy. If it were not for the excited words of the young people,
No one would have thought that there would be such a magical island courtyard in the middle of Mingyue Lake.
There are a total of forty young talents in the imperial capital who have been invited by Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion, including the young man in blue shirt who has just started to dominate the limelight, and some talents from poor families in coarse cloth.
At this moment, they were gathering in the center of the courtyard, which was a large open space with four hexagonal eaves-like stone pavilions standing respectively. On the four stone pavilions were respectively engraved "Ask the Heart", "Ask the Heaven" and "Ask the Heaven".
"Love" and "Asking Immortals". Presumably these are the names of the four stone pavilions. Around the pavilions, several proud and solitary plum blossoms are blooming vigorously, spitting out bright stamens and giving out a faint floral fragrance.
It made everyone's minds condensed, and they suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
Ye Yinfeng observed the surroundings carefully. He only felt that there was a strange feeling here. What it was, he couldn't tell. Everything in front of him was the sparkling blue waves of the lake, the soft light emitted by the exquisite lamps, and the
The plum blossom branches falling on the island all show this exquisite and perfect scenery.
The most perfect scenery will have some flaws, but at this time, the pavilions, paths, and plum trees exuding a unique fragrance on the island in the middle of the lake are exquisitely laid out, and there is no sudden difference.
Xiang. Thinking like this made Ye Yinfeng feel a little wary inexplicably, but the wariness was out of his own intention. It was his keen instinctive reaction after practicing "Tai Qing Jue".
Ye Yinfeng was even more shocked. He felt that his idea was extremely ridiculous. He really couldn't see any danger in this scene and the island in the middle of the lake that he should be wary of. And without him realizing it, the Tai Tai in his body
The pure energy spontaneously sped up and flowed rapidly among the various points on his body. His brain suddenly appeared in an ethereal state, and his slightly narrowed eyes scanned everywhere.
He was surprised to find that the surrounding scenery became more hazy, and the rockery, the pavilion, and the exquisite lamp hanging high in the air also became blurry. In a flash, his brain returned to normal, and the scene in front of him
The scenery has returned to its original state, exquisite and clear, the snow is still the same, the rockery pavilions are still the same. The swaying figures of the young talents from the various families in the imperial capital are still in such high spirits, and they have not noticed anything strange here.
.
What surprised him was that if there was a literary test, there was no place for the literary test here, and there was no place for the martial arts test either. With these doubts, he felt that he had accelerated his pace and shuttled through the streets.
Suddenly, he looked back at the long wooden bridge he was walking on, but there was nothing in front of him. The rows of exquisite lamps that emitted a soft light had disappeared without a trace.
And the long and winding corridor bridge suddenly disappeared. In front of him there was only the pitch-black lake, and the towering sword-like breeze emitting a soft light.
Ye Yinfeng couldn't help being shocked. When he looked at it again, he found that everything had returned to normal. The lamp and the covered bridge were still in front of him.
"Okay, everyone, this is the venue for the selection test. This is the first level test. There are other tests below. I hope you can achieve good results." The deputy master of Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion with a beautiful beard and double beard will everyone
When they arrived at the center of the island, they stopped and spoke to everyone.
When everyone heard this, they showed doubtful expressions. They looked around and found that there was no place for the literary test, nor any place for the martial arts test. There was nothing else here except the elegant scenery. For a moment, they were completely
There was no reaction, and they looked at each other at a loss.
"May I ask the Deputy Pavilion Master, is this the place for the test, but there are no facilities for literary or martial arts tests?" The heir apparent of the Shi family was bolder. In addition to the confused look in his eyes, there was also the confusion in his eyes.
His face showed that he was not stupid, so he directly asked Ye Jingxuan, the man with the beautiful beard and double beard.
As soon as the young people heard his question, they turned their eyes one after another. The confusion in their eyes showed that they also wanted to know what was going on. There must be questions in this literary test, too.
Prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Even if this literary test does not require a written test, but requires some poetry and singing, then there must be a place. But look here, there is not even a table or chair, except for dozens of them
A talented young man, there is no one else, not even an examiner.
If there is a martial arts test, then there must be a spacious place for them to show off. Sword dancers, knife performers, and boxers all need a relatively open place. And the martial arts test must be separated after all.
It doesn’t matter whether you are ranked high or low, there must be a decent arena. Although the young men are carrying weapons, such as swords, they are just for show. If they really want to be on the stage, they can’t use their best skills.
Weapons. But now on this island, there is not even a decent arena, let alone any weapons.
Everyone looked expectantly at the deputy master of Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion, hoping that he could solve this mystery for everyone. Even Ye Yinfeng was startled, as it seemed that there was something different from what he expected. He did not expect this Qingfeng Mingyue.
The deputy master of the pavilion started the selection of new disciples with an understatement. And it was still the first level of test. There seemed to be a second level and a third level of test, but he knew that in such an island
, such a place is definitely not a place for a literary or martial arts competition. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He wanted to find some clues to crack this test. He didn't know what this test was.
What, but he felt a certain connection with this weird beauty.
Sure enough, the calm and calm Ye Jingxuan smiled slightly and said: "Who told you that this is the venue for the literary and martial arts trials. This is just the first level of the test. Once you pass this test, you will naturally be able to
Let’s proceed to the second level, which is the second level of test.”
After listening to Ye Jingxuan's words, the eyes of the young people showed even more doubts. They didn't understand what the first level of test was, what second level of test would follow, and whether there would be a third level.
Is it a test? Some people also lowered their heads and thought deeply, some were even more confused, and some were even more at a loss, unable to find the north, south, east, or west at all. Although they were all carefully cultivated by the wealthy family, they still lacked experience in the world.
, at this moment, the high and low were immediately distinguished. It had nothing to do with talent or martial arts strength, it was just that their character was high or low.
"I don't know what this test is, how can I pass it?" Shi Jingtao looked surprised. He asked the key question that everyone wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask. At this time, there was a distinct feeling.
When the phenomenon appeared, there were three or two people who lowered their heads and meditated like leaves chanting in the wind. They all came from poor families and were involved in the world earlier, making it easier for them to think independently. Others were pampered by those wealthy families. They were in a panic at this time and were at a loss what to do.
. Others are like Shi Jingtao, who are shocked with doubts, but are not completely lost. They have some courage and insight. These young people also have a maturity and stability that is inconsistent with their actual age. Most of their minds have matured.
, able to face some emergencies.
"That's a good question. This first level test is very simple. As long as you can return from this island to where we were just now, you will pass this test and then you can proceed to the next level." Ye Jingxuan smiled slightly and quickly
He said that he had passed the first test, and there was something elusive in his tone. It seemed like a joke, or it was true, it was hard to tell the truth from the lie.
Hearing him say the questions to pass the first level, everyone was slightly startled, and the confusion in their eyes seemed to be even more intense. They understood very well that the test the other party mentioned seemed too easy, and they all started from there.
How could it be so simple to walk over the covered bridge and then walk back from the covered bridge? According to common sense, this seems too simple. This is the selection of new disciples from Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion. It should be
It can't be that simple.
Most of the young people had disbelief in their eyes, and only a few of the talented people showed a hint of ecstasy. Isn't it easy to answer such a simple question?
But when the teenagers with different personalities came to their senses, they suddenly discovered that the middle-aged man with a beautiful beard and double beard standing in the middle of them suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Panic suddenly appeared in their eyes, and they stood there at a loss. They had no idea what they were going to do next.
"Why do you think so much about such a simple test? Just walk back the way you came." A young man couldn't stand the strange smell. He couldn't help but muster up the courage to speak loudly. And his loud voice made most of the confused people
The young men woke up in excitement, and their confused eyes suddenly became extremely clear. They moved extremely quickly and ran towards the covered bridge with exquisite lights hanging high.
Without even thinking about it, the middle-aged man with a beautiful beard and double beard glanced at the young man in blue shirt who was bowing his head in thought before disappearing, but his eyes were the same as when the deputy master of Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion looked at him at the beginning.
His eyes were completely opposite. At this moment, there was a hint of approval in his eyes, and there was no hint of the dark and murderous meaning in his eyes at the beginning.
