Chapter 108: Falling Sword Lake: Someone Jiang broke through the situation on the spot
…
Saw Gargamel running away.
Luo Yu glanced at Jiang Chaoge with some pity: "You should buy it. If you can pass the assessment of Jixia Academy, what is six thousand taels of silver?"
"It makes sense, but I have no money." Jiang Chaoge told the truth.
Not long ago, he did have ten thousand taels.
But I spent 8,000 taels to buy Cai Wenji, and later spent another hundred taels on renting a boat along the way. The remaining money I had was only around 1,800 taels.
It's really unaffordable to buy three thousand taels of treasure.
"Stupid, why don't you ask me to borrow money if you don't have money? I have money!" After saying that, Luo Yu added: "I thought the person the emperor liked was so smart, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."
"..."
Jiang Chaoge did not argue.
Because correcting a person's IQ is actually a very stupid thing.
…
Luojian Lake.
One of the three wonders of Jixia Academy.
The original rumor is that four hundred years ago, an immortal accidentally dropped an immortal sword into the lake while flying over the lake, hence the name Luojian Lake.
Later, after Luojian Lake was returned to Jixia Academy, strange things happened more frequently.
The strange thing about it is not the scenery around the lake, but that over the past four hundred years, more and more swords have fallen into the lake for various reasons.
Therefore, there are at least thousands of swords in this lake now!
Luo Yu introduced the legend of Falling Sword Lake to Jiang Chaoge, and said with great certainty: "Don't believe it, I also dropped a sword into it!"
"You also lost a handful?" Jiang Chaoge was a little surprised.
"Yes, there seems to be an inexplicable power in the Luojian Lake that can confuse people's minds and make them want to put down the sword unconsciously." Luo Yu nodded.
"Only for swords?"
"Yes, so, this princess brought a gun here, am I very smart?" Luo Yu raised the extraordinary spear in her hand.
On this point alone, it is indeed smart... Jiang Chaoge nodded and continued: "Then why did you go to the lake? Is it to swim?"
"No, there is an iron rope on Luojian Lake! Our assessment this time is to pass through Luojian Lake on the iron rope, oh... By the way, you don't know yet!"
"Is there an iron rope?"
Soon, Jiang Chaoge saw the legendary Luojian Lake.
And that iron rope!
…
The entire Luojian Lake is like a green mirror.
The lake is rugged and wide, and there are rocks all around the lake. It looks like a lake sunken in the middle of the rocks.
There are no flowing rivers or falling waterfalls around.
This is a quiet lake.
However, the lake water is very clear, and the dark bottom of the lake can be faintly seen, with some white light shining out, which should be the sword that fell to the bottom of the lake.
As for that iron rope...
It was tied to a stone pillar and hung about a foot above the lake.
Jiang Chaoge could see that dozens of disciples taking part in the examination had gathered around the iron rope, and there were many talented and beautiful people standing on the shore of the lake watching.
Liu Hongyi, Cai Wenji and Liang Waner are also among them.
Moreover, several people waved to him.
However, Liang Wan'er's face... seemed a little bad, probably because of Luo Yu beside Jiang Chaoge.
Jiang Chaoge waved to Cai Wenji.
"Hurry up, someone is already on the iron rope!"
Luo Yu pulled Jiang Chaoge and walked towards the iron rope. At the same time, she groped for a few stones on the ground.
Jiang Chaoge has not yet reacted.
Then he saw Luo Yu throwing a stone at a young man wearing blue clothes on the iron rope.
"Snapped!"
The blue-clad young man knocked down the stone with one palm.
He glared at Luo Yu fiercely: "He Fang Xiaoxiao, how dare you make a sneak attack?!"
Luo Yu did not understand him, but immediately threw the second stone out, and at the same time shouted loudly: "He is a vulgar martial artist. Our Jixia Academy is the top academy in the world, how can we let a
Did the warrior pass the test? Let’s smash him down together, lest the academy’s reputation for thousands of years be damaged!”
"Wow!"
The students below the iron rope immediately woke up.
However, there are not many people who actually pick up stones, maybe only three or four.
But none of the eight "invigilators" wearing Confucian shirts who had been standing in front of the iron rope said anything.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Three or four people picked up stones and threw them at the young man in blue attire on the iron rope.
The young man did not stay any longer and just shouted, "You despicable people!"
Then, he quickly walked forward on the iron rope.
Don't tell me...it's pretty fast.
"A martial artist from the Three Realms!"
Jiang Chaoge probably saw the young man's strength.
Since he is a martial artist, he must be at level three or higher, because it is unlikely that a martial artist will win the provincial examination title.
"Let him run away." Luo Yu raised the corner of his mouth: "However, he was delayed for some time, and Wufu had no advantage in the last level. It can be concluded that he has basically missed the top three."
"Aren't you afraid of his revenge?" Jiang Chaoge asked casually.
"What is there to be afraid of? This princess has a bunch of defensive treasures on her body. Stones can't hurt me at all." Luo Yu said with confidence: "So, I will let you spend some money to buy two protective treasures, right? You must
If you refuse, it’s too late to regret it now.”
"..." Jiang Chaoge.
This is so!!!
The real purpose of buying protective treasures is not for assessment purposes, but to prevent others from sneaking up on you from behind.
Jiang Chaoge seemed to understand... what he was going to face in this assessment.
…
After some operations by Luo Yu.
People who want to climb the iron cable begin to hesitate.
Dozens of people gave in one after another.
"Master Li, please come first!"
"Young Master Wang, please go first."
"..."
For a moment, everyone stopped moving forward.
Luo Yu said again at this time: "Everyone, hurry up. If you don't do it...when the martial artist just passed this level, you will all lose."
In an instant, everyone woke up.
Yes, time is limited!
It is impossible to spend time here forever. Whoever goes up first... will have an advantage, even if he has to face interference from everyone.
So, soon a second person boarded.
Of course, there are even more people interfering this time.
A dozen people picked up stones and threw them mercilessly at the second person.
Luo Yu looked at this scene and raised the corner of his mouth: "Hey, he still has a bad temperament. He becomes anxious even if he is provoked casually. How can such a person get into Jixia Academy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of "plop!" falling into the water.
This one seemed a little nervous.
Accidentally, he was hit in the head by a stone.
When he tilted his head, he fell off the iron rope and fell directly into the lake.
"Failed the assessment!"
An invigilator announced his results.
Jiang Chaoge finally figured out that although Luo Yu was a victim, he was not as "unsmart" as he thought. On the contrary, Luo Yu was actually very familiar with the "rules".
So, he began to humbly ask Luo Yu for advice: "When will we start living together?"
"There is no rush at the moment." Luo Yu replied: "The assessment is mainly based on rating. This rating is mainly calculated from the moment you board the iron rope. In other words, the overall time is not included in the assessment of rating."
Jiang Chaoge heard it.
The real focus of assessment is still 'rating.'
Only if the ratings are the same, the total completion time will be compared.
Once you've grasped this key point... there's really no need to be too hasty.
At least, you should take another look!
Just thinking about it...
The third person went up.
He is a young man dressed as a scholar.
"Snapped!"
The moment he went up, the scholar's feet slammed on the stone pillar.
With this powerful force...
His figure was like a sharp arrow leaving the string, and he quickly jumped out a full five steps away.
The people below had no time to interfere with stones.
"Hahaha!"
The scholar was in mid-air, smiling broadly: "You can't stop me!"
Then, a kick...
Go short!
"thump!"
Fell into the lake.
"..." Jiang Chaoge.
"..." Luo Yu.
"..." All the candidates and invigilators.
…
"That one just now seemed to be the provincial examination headgear from Baizhi County!"
"It's a pity. His eyesight is just not very good, and his sense of balance is slightly worse... He didn't step on the iron rope."
"Yes, the method is still very good."
Everyone was talking a lot.
Although the scholar who fell into the water failed the assessment, his method still aroused everyone's interest and paved the way for those who came after him.
So, people started visiting immediately.
The fourth one climbed up.
He is also a scholar.
"Look at me!"
The scholar was very energetic. As soon as he jumped up, he kicked towards the stone pillar.
He was going to borrow the method from the previous one.
However, he seems to have underestimated the wisdom of the crowd.
Because, the moment he was about to step on the stone pillar, everyone had already taken action in advance.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Whizzing!"
Pebbles flew through the air.
Hit the scholar's head.
The scholar was immediately hit so hard that his body was tilted, his feet staggered, and he almost fell down.
"Shameless and despicable!!"
He wanted to jump off the iron rope.
However, once you go up, there is no possibility of coming back down.
Gritting his teeth, he ran forward bravely in the "rain of bullets", no longer caring about stepping on the stone pillars.
Luo Yu laughed again: "How stupid, do you think you can use the same method a second time? Hahaha... They are all so stupid!"
Jiang Chaoge said nothing because he also expressed his agreement.
At this moment, another sound of falling water came from the distance.
"thump!"
It was the scholar who ran out in the "rain of bullets".
He didn't stumble at the starting point, but...in the center of the lake.
Jiang Chaoge blinked his eyes, a little surprised.
Because, although the scholar failed in the "starting" stage, he actually did not suffer any further interference later, so how could he still fall into the lake?
Not only Jiang Chaoge, but other candidates were also a little confused.
"What's going on? Is there any danger in the center of the lake?"
"But, the first martial artist who passed by... seemed to have nothing to do?"
"Could it be that the legend is true?"
"What legend?"
"I can't tell you that!"
"..."
No one is stupid enough to educate their opponents.
The eight invigilators standing under the iron rope had calm expressions on their faces, as if they were not surprised by the scholar falling into the lake.
Jiang Chaoge looked towards the lake, where the scholar fell into the water.
At some point, a small boat appeared there, with two students from the Academy standing on it.
The scholar who fell into the water has been rescued.
However, his eyes were narrowed tightly, as if... he fainted.
"It seems that you have just entered the Confucian realm, and you actually dare to cross Luojian Lake?" Luo Yu looked over with some contempt: "You are so naive, do you really think that Jixia Academy is so easy to pass the exam?"
…
People who have just entered Confucianism cannot cross Luojian Lake?
Jiang Chaoge frowned, and he probably had some guesses. The center of Luojian Lake... might actually have some kind of mysterious power.
For some reason, the "qualifications" for this special recruitment ceremony came to his mind.
1. Those who are famous on the list of national scholars.
Two or three realms or above.
Three, the top scorer in this year’s provincial examination.
4. Those who are members of the royal family.
It seems that the conditions are not harsh.
Especially the third and fourth items, it can be said that there are a lot of people corresponding to them.
But what about actually?
That's not the case at all.
Because, although Jiang Chaoge is now included in the "National Scholars Ranking", his ranking in the "National Scholars Ranking" is actually because of the imperial pen personally clicking on it, and it is not really based on "cultivation".
Ji Ruxue is on the national list because she is a great chess player in the four realms.
The man in white in Xijing... is also a military strategist from the fourth realm, and has even begun to attack the fifth realm.
There is also Jiang Chenshui who is participating this time, the number one genius among the younger generation of the Taoist sect and a Taoist in the four realms!
"In the past, if you had to take the assessment of Jixia Academy, you had to at least pass the examination and obtain the status of Jinshi! It can be said that you have a very high reputation."
"Li Zeguang has already entered the first level of Confucianism before taking the provincial examination. Now that he has passed the joint examination, he is estimated to have taken another step forward. When he becomes a Jinshi in the spring of next year, he should be at least the second level, and maybe even the second level.
Reach the three realms!”
"And Li Zeguang, who passes the examination next year, will definitely be able to enter Jixia? Obviously, there are some difficulties, no... With Li Zeguang's talent and learning, it may only be possible if he is lucky. Otherwise, he would not go to the capital to watch
'."
Jiang Chaoge finally understood.
Among these four conditions, the third and fourth conditions...are simply set up deliberately by Master. In fact, only the first and second conditions are truly qualified to participate in the assessment.
National scholar, or above three realms!
"It seems that the first two levels of Luojian Lake and Big Stone Forest can directly eliminate those who do not meet the conditions!"
…
the fifth!
sixth!
There is no doubt that they fell into the lake one after another.
Jiang Chaoge's guess was correct. To cross Luojian Lake, you have to reach at least the third realm.
"Look, that looks like Qi Lang of the Meng family!"
"I heard that he is a military strategist from all over the world!"
"Really...really?"
There was a burst of discussion around.
Jiang Chaoge naturally looked at the young man who was about to step onto the iron rope.
A military strategist from all over the world?
He always thought that only the national scholar Jiang Chenshui was in the Four Realms, but he didn't expect... there was one more!
The young man is probably in his mid-twenties, looks a bit rough, has a strong back, and has some...beards.
Luo Yu came over again at this time: "Meng Xiao, the seventh man of the Meng family, is a military strategist in the four realms. He has reached the rank of 'captain of thousands' in the army. I heard that he will soon be promoted to general of the left."
Jiang Chaoge nodded. He now truly understood that these people were the truly qualified candidates.
"Bang!"
Meng Xiao stepped on the pillar stone.
At the same time, stones immediately flew over like raindrops.
It doesn't seem like because he is the Seventh Lang of the Meng family... others will be soft-hearted!
On the contrary, everyone seems to be working harder!
Especially Luo Yu!
Luo Yu took out a crossbow this time and fired wildly at Meng Xiao.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Three arrows arrived like the wind.
Meng Xiao didn't even look at it, but directly pressed his hand on his chest.
"boom!"
A huge momentum surged out.
Around him, there were circles of turmoil like ripples.
These turmoils directly blocked the flying stones and Luo Yu's arrows.
What's even more frightening is that Meng Xiao even used the impact to rush forward, tapping his toes on the iron rope, and in an instant he was ten steps away.
"Damn it!" Luo Yu was furious and immediately took Jiang Chaoge's hand: "Quick, do it! Kill him... We can't let him rush over like this!"
"How to kill him?" Jiang Chaoge spread his hands.
"You...are you really not a Confucian?" Luo Yu looked at Jiang Chaoge in surprise.
"Yeah, didn't you already know that?"
"But this is wrong. With your reputation, it's impossible that you haven't entered the country yet? Moreover, my teacher specifically asked me to follow you. Are you... really not a Confucian?"
"Did your teacher ask you to find me?"
"Yes, do you want to ask me who the teacher is?" After Luo Yu finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Chaoge's response, he immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't tell you."
"..."
Jiang Chaoge was really curious.
However, even if Luo Yu didn't say it, he could actually guess it.
How many people can teach the princess and understand the assessment rules of Jixia Academy so well?
"Stop hiding it, show your true strength quickly!" Luo Yu saw that Jiang Chaoge didn't speak, and continued: "If you fall into the water, we will finish playing together."
If I fall into the water, will we finish playing together? Jiang Chaoge was a little confused: "If I fall into the water, will it affect you?"
"Of course." After Luo Yu finished speaking, he came closer and said, "Don't you really know why I want to be with you?"
"Why?"
"Because I want to leverage each other's strength with you!" After Luo Yu finished speaking, she seemed to be afraid that Jiang Chaoge wouldn't understand: "I will use treasures to block the surrounding attacks later, while you concentrate on breaking through the 'interference' in Luojian Lake.
Let's walk the rope together... now, do you understand?"
"I understand, but can it still be like this?" Jiang Chaoge's eyes lit up.
"Of course you can. I worked with my teacher for a long time to find this method. Originally, I was planning to go with Jiang Chenshui, but my teacher said that Jiang Chenshui would definitely refuse my invitation, but you are different. You can't do anything.
I don’t understand, so I came to find you.”
"You, the teacher... are quite polite in what you say."
"Okay, stop dawdling and hurry up. Can you do it?" Perhaps because Meng Xiao had crossed the lake, Luo Yu seemed a little anxious at this time.
"It's okay, you just need to prepare a little bit."
"Prepare? What do you want to prepare?"
"Prepare to break through!"
"Breaking...breaking the boundary? You just broke the boundary now?!"
"right!"
