The twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning.
Meng Chuan sat on the bed, gently stroking the blade, which was cold and sharp.
"Twelve years of practice, it depends on this day." Meng Chuan whispered softly, and finally came to the day of the entrance examination at Yuanchu Mountain, for which he had waited too long.
Meng Chuan thought of many people at this moment.
Father, mother, aunt, patriarch, third elder and many other elders in the clan, too many people look forward to entering Yuanchu Mountain.
…
In the next room.
Meng Dajiang also looked at the painting hanging on the wall, which was his wife.
"This day has finally come." Meng Dajiang looked at the portrait, "I did everything I could. I enlightened Chuan'er on sword skills, I practiced with Chuan'er, and I found a suitable monastery for Chuan'er Teacher... the credits I have accumulated over the years have also been exchanged for Bing Xinguo to Chuan'er. I have given everything I can!"
"I, Meng Dajiang, am mediocre, but I have cultivated such a son. He is my greatest pride over the years!"
"Nianyun, our son will definitely enter Yuanchu Mountain."
Meng Dajiang was equally nervous at the moment.
Suddenly I heard a voice from outside: "Young Master Meng, Young Master Yan, Lord Hou has summoned everyone and is ready to go."
"Let's go?" Meng Dajiang wiped the corner of his eyes and went out of his room, and shouted, "Chuan'er, Chuan'er, we're going to go."
Squeak.
Meng Chuan also came out of his house, with a knife on his waist, looked at his father and smiled: "Let's go."
Meng Chuan, Meng Dajiang and Yan Jin joined together and came to the hall of Wuzhou Guild Hall.
Although it snowed heavily yesterday, the snow on the path in the hall has been swept away long ago, only the trees and roofs are covered with snow.
"Young Master Meng."
"Young Master Yan."
Everyone in the hall is also familiar with greetings.
Among the twelve young people, only Yan Jin was alone. Others are followed by family elders.
"Everyone is here, we're going to set off now." Nan Yunhou entered the hall and took a glance, then walked out directly. Everyone naturally followed immediately.
In a spacious garden of the guild hall, the fiery red bird was there, jumping onto the back of the bird one after another.
Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, and Meng Dajiang were also sitting in a corner on the back of the bird.
"Walk."
Nan Yunhou said.
The fiery red bird flew up immediately, flying over the city at the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. Overlooking the streets and gorgeous buildings of Yuanchu City from the air is indeed a special experience.
…
At this moment, Dongning Mansion, Meng Family.
Inside the ancestral hall.
Xiangu Meng was kneeling on the futon of the ancestral hall, clasping her hands together and looking forward silently.
"My ancestors and ancestors bless you, and bless my descendants of the Meng family 'Meng Chuan' to pass the entrance examination of Yuanchu Mountain and enter Yuanchu Mountain." Xiangu Meng's face was pale and even a little lifeless. The damage was too great, and now her body began to collapse. If it weren't for her strong obsession, she would not have survived to this day.
Meng Chuan is the hope of the Meng family. If she dies, Meng Chuan will be the future pillar of the Meng family.
So she was waiting until the news that Meng Chuan had entered Yuanchu Mountain before she could close her eyes in peace.
…
"Achuan." On a peak in Yuanchu Mountain, Liu Qiyue looked at the book but was absent-minded, looking through the window at the vast sea of clouds, a little nervous, "Achuan is going to participate in the entrance examination of Yuanchu Mountain today? He will definitely pass !"
…
"The day of the Yuanchu Mountain entrance examination is the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, so today, will he enter Yuanchu Mountain?" Yun Qingping was practicing sword in the morning, but she couldn't help but shake her head, "What are you thinking about?" She He continued to practice swords again.
*****
Meng Chuan and the others sat on the back of the fiery red bird. The bird flew about a hundred feet above the Yuanchu City. The speed was not too fast, which also allowed Meng Chuan and the others to enjoy the scenery of the Yuanchu City. After a while, the bird flew for dozens of miles and finally landed slowly. It landed in a palace that occupies an extremely large area. Above the main entrance of the palace, there are three large characters - Lieyang Palace.
"Let's go." Nan Yunhou sent Meng Chuan and his group here, and ordered his mounts softly, and the flaming bird soared into the sky and flew towards Yuanchu Mountain.
"Everyone come with me." A manager of the Wuzhou Guild Hall who followed smiled and said, "Master Hou has his own affairs, so everyone just follow me."
The steward smiled and said: "This Lieyang Palace is a separate courtyard of Yuanchu Mountain. Every year, the entrance examination of Yuanchu Mountain is registered here. Of course, the guild hall has already helped the twelve geniuses of Wuzhou to register. I went inside and waited, and estimated that half an hour later, the gods and demons of Yuanchu Mountain would come over. Then the assessment will officially begin."
"Please take care of the king." Immediately, some elders of the family went to chat.
Meng Chuan and his group also entered Lieyang Palace together.
Passing through the palace gate, there is a square. Many young men and women have gathered in the square, and most of them are accompanied by elders or servants.
"Um?"
Many people looked over.
"It's from Wuzhou. The man wearing a dark blue robe with a sword on his waist is called Meng Chuan. It is said that he can kill the leader of the monster clan with a single knife, and he has killed two leader of the monster clan in succession. He is extremely powerful. "A purple-clothed woman took a look and said, "There are 20 places in Yuanchu Mountain, and he is afraid that he will take up one of them. And the young man in white next to him is also stronger than ordinary alchemy masters, and he is also from the Wang family of Anhai. Seventh son."
"The seventh son of Anhai Wang's family? Are you not mistaken?" The tall man beside her asked in surprise.
"How could the princess's news be wrong?" Another young man in a golden robe next to him laughed.
"This was originally a secret, but after King Anhai's sword seal saved the entire Dongning Mansion, my royal family found out that the mysterious seventh son of King Anhai went to Dongning Mansion under the pseudonym 'Yan Jin'." The woman in purple said, " You don’t need to pay too much attention to it. Yuanchu Mountain’s entrance examination doesn’t matter what your identity is, it depends on whether you are strong enough and whether you have enough potential. This time there are many threatening geniuses, Meng Chuan from Wuzhou, Ning Chuan from Jiangzhou One divination... There are nearly ten people who are very famous, maybe they have some hidden strengths, and maybe they have breakthroughs in strength. Even I am not sure that I will occupy the next place."
"The princess's bow and arrow skills are the best in the younger generation. She will definitely be able to enter the Yuanchu Mountain." The young man in the golden robe boasted.
…
Meng Chuan and his group of people from Wuzhou naturally gathered together and waited.
Suddenly there was a big commotion outside the palace gate.
A young man in a red robe walked in barefoot, but a group of people followed behind him. Five of them had terrifying auras, obviously all gods and demons.
"Don't follow, there's nothing to follow." The red-robed boy said impatiently.
"Haha, Tong'er, this is the day you participated in the Yuanchu Mountain assessment. We are all very concerned, and of course we all want to see it."
"Uncle just wants to see you enter Yuanchu Mountain." A group of family elders behind laughed.
The red-robed boy was also helpless.
Followed by him are his parents, grandparents, and several other members of the family with high status.
"It's Yan Chitong, the number one genius in Yuanchu City. He is the only son of Marquis Xihai. He is extremely talented. He is only thirteen years old this year and has just realized his potential! Because of his young age, even if he is ranked outside the top 20... Yuanchushan said Maybe he will be given a place alone."
"I hope he can be ranked outside the twenty! He is only thirteen years old, what is he competing with us for?"
"Yan family, one king and one lord, there are nearly twenty gods and demons in the family, and now there are geniuses, it is really prosperous..." The children of the ancient gods and demons were all amazed. The family has to look up to the Yan family!
Meng Chuan and Meng Dajiang just pricked up their ears and listened.
They have too little information, and many geniuses have never heard of it. After all, the Meng family is just an ordinary family of gods and demons in Dongning Mansion, and the family ancestor 'Meng Xiangu' is still the kind who failed to enter Yuanchu Mountain. It's normal to be ignorant.
As time went by, more and more people gathered in the square.
Especially the locals in Yuanchu City, many of them were followed by three or five elders.
"Boom~~~~" Finally, the gate of Lieyang Palace began to close, and when the time came, no one was allowed to enter again.
"It's about to start." Meng Chuan and his group of more than 300 young people tensed up.
