Views:

Yun Ruoyan told Yun Moxiao her doubts, Yun Moxiao pondered for a moment, took out a pot of wine she brought, Yun Ruoyan walked to Wang Meng's with a roast chicken that Zhuo Yifeng had just roasted. By the campfire.

When the people around Wang Meng saw Yun Moxiao and Yun Ruoyan approaching, they automatically gave up their seats. Yun Moxiao sat beside Wang Meng, and Yun Ruoyan sat beside Yun Moxiao.

"Here, try the wine I brought from the army." Yun Moxiao handed the jug to Wang Meng, who took a sip.

"Good wine, strong enough." Wang Meng praised.

"My lord, I'm curious about something, I don't know if I should ask." Yun Ruoyan handed the roast chicken to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng took the roast chicken, and said quite bluntly: "Miss Yun, you can ask me what's the matter."

"I heard that Prince Wang has been traveling around the four countries all the time. I wonder if he came to Kongming Academy this time to give someone away, or...?"

"To be honest, Wang didn't give someone away, but went to Kongming Academy as a special recruit to participate in the trial." Wang Meng returned.

"Special enrollment?" Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao glanced at each other, it was the first time they had heard such a fresh title.

"Yes, special enrollment." Wang Meng took another sip of wine, and then returned the jug to Yun Moxiao.

He continued: "Many years ago when I was very young, Kongming Academy offered to recruit me as a student because of my talent in refining medicine, but my father refused. I have been following my father's instructions in the family all these years. However, Kongming Academy gave me a promise that I could enter Kongming Academy at any time before I was twenty years old."

Yun Ruoyan was surprised, talented people are so popular, she thought to herself that if the instructors in the Kongming Academy knew that she had reached the fourth level of alchemist at the age of thirteen, they would give her one too. Special enrollment quota.

"Then why did you suddenly want to enter Kongming Academy?" Yun Ruoyan asked again.

"Because of my younger brother, Wang Kuang." Wang Meng suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Yun Ruoyan, "My younger brother participated in the trial of the Royal Secret Realm this year, and then disappeared, neither alive nor dead."

Yun Ruoyan met Wang Meng's gaze, but there was nothing strange about it.

"There are indeed many ferocious monsters in the royal secret realm." Yun Ruo said without changing his face: "At that time, I encountered a giant tooth tiger and a top-grade magic snake in the secret realm, and I almost lost my life. Your brother is in danger."

"We also speculate that he was attacked by a monster. Miss Jin's family who was with my brother also disappeared. She must have been killed by a monster."

Wang Meng turned his eyes away and looked at the bonfire, "He is my only younger brother. His wish since childhood was to become a student of Kongming Academy. I decided to enter Kongming Academy to realize his dream."

Yun Ruoyan also shifted her gaze to the bonfire and said nothing.

At this moment, Yun Moxiao stood up, patted Yun Ruoyan and said, "It's getting late, we have to hurry tomorrow, we're going back to rest."

Yun Ruoyan stood up after him, and Wang Meng also stood up, but stood in front of Yun Ruoyan, his tone seemed drunk, and asked, "I wonder if Miss Yun saw my younger brother Wang in the secret realm at that time?" Kuang and Miss Jin Fei'er?"

Yun Ruoyan looked at Wang Meng's face which was 50% similar to Wang Kuang, and said calmly, "I don't think so, but there were too many people at that time, even if I saw it, I don't remember it."

"Please forgive me." Yun Ruoyan said softly as she walked past Wang Meng.

Looking at Yun Ruoyan's leaving back, Wang Meng slowly frowned.

Before Jin Fei'er died, she did not reveal the full name of the murderer who killed Wang Kuang, she just said the word 'Yun Ruo', from which Wang Meng deduced that the murderer should be a descendant of the Ruo family of Yun family.

Yun Ruoyan, Yun Ruoyao, and Yun Ruoyu are the only descendants of the "Ruo" generation of the Yun family. The purpose of Wang Meng's participation in the trial this time is to find out who is the real murderer of Wang Kuang among these three people. .

Under Wang Meng's probing just now, Yun Ruoyan didn't have a trace of panic, and now Yun Ruoyan's suspicion in Wang Meng's heart has become smaller, but who is the murderer will not be known until after probing one by one.

At dawn on the second day, a group of more than 20 people set off, and finally arrived at the foot of Kongming Mountain in the evening.

The last time Li Mo Yujian took Yun Ruoyan to watch the Kongming Peak under the night from a distance, Yun Ruoyan's impression of it was like a sharp sword piercing straight into the sky.

But at this moment, Yun Ruoyan is standing at the foot of the mountain with both feet, looking up at the mountain, all he can see are strange rocks and strange trees, and he can't see the direction of the mountain at all. .

The further they walked into Kongming Mountain, the steeper the mountain road became. In the end, everyone had to get off their horses and walk along the stone path with their horses.

When the stone path came to an end, there was no way, and when everyone didn't understand why, the voice of talking came from above.

"At the foot of the mountain, is it the academy that came to participate in the trial?"

The voice was long and clear, as if it came from far away, and it seemed to be ringing in my ears.

"Look over there." Yun Moxiao signaled Yun Ruoyan to look up, and saw a green sword glow in midair, and a man in fluttering white clothes stood above the sword glow.

Because he was too far away, Yun Ruoyan couldn't see the person's face, so he couldn't judge the person's age, but he didn't look old by hearing the voice.

"Back to senior, the next few people are the academy that came to participate in the trial." Wang Meng replied loudly.

"How many of you are there?" the man asked again.

Yun Moxiao was there to see him off, and he was not allowed to go up the mountain. Several people from Wang Meng's party also came to see him off. There were twelve real students in total.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to take you up to the peak." After getting the number, the man took out something from his pocket and put it in his mouth, and a loud whistle rang through the valley.

As the whistle sounded, more than a dozen sword lights of different colors descended from the sky, and there were men and women standing above the sword lights, all of whom were dressed in white and full of immortality.

Amidst the stunned crowd, more than a dozen white-clothed immortals landed in front of them and stood in a row in an orderly manner.

The man who spoke in mid-air just now slowly landed in front of everyone, and Yun Ruoyan saw his appearance clearly.

He looked to be in his twenties, his hair was dyed with ink, his face was like a jade crown, his eyebrows were drawn into his temples, his eyes were like stars, his face was peaceful, and he was very handsome.

"Take out your ID tags," the man said.

Yun Ruoyan didn't know what the name tag was in the man's mouth, so she looked at the others. When she saw that other people took out the wooden plaque given by Ding Laishi, she realized that this wooden plaque was their identity badge.

In Liguo, only those with a certain status will have identity badges. Ordinary people only have paper identity cards. Identity badges are a symbol of a person's status.

After checking all the name tags, the man confirmed that they were correct, so he arranged for the men in white clothes of Yujian to bring a student each.

Yun Ruoyan, Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue were assigned to the three women in white.

The woman with Yun Ruoyan had a pretty face, and she was protected by an orange sword light.

Yun Ruoyan stepped onto the sword light and turned to wave goodbye to Yun Moxiao.

"Brother, wait for my good news." Following her farewell, the woman began to lift off slowly with the orange sword light.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news, Ruoyan, you must take care!" Yun Moxiao looked at Yun Ruoyan, who was getting further and further away, and waved and shouted, until the sword light was blocked by a large strange stone, Yun Moxiao Only then did Mo Xiao stop waving.

Yun Ruoyan stood on top of the sword light, and the woman in white Yujian didn't go straight up like Li Mo did last time, but circled around a path.

"Sister Fairy." Yun Ruoyan called out.

"I'm not a fairy." The woman smiled and said, "I'm your senior sister, so you can call me Senior Sister Shuiyun."

"Senior Sister Shuiyun." Yun Ruoyan also smiled and said, "What a coincidence, there is also a word "Yun" in my name, my name is Yun Ruoyan."

Shuiyun saw that Yun Ruoyan was young, had a sweet smile, and liked the little girl quite a bit, so he started talking to her while fencing the sword.

"Then you are not alone with me." Shui Yun turned his head and glanced at Yun Ruoyan, and said, "Everyone in our generation has a Yunzi in their names, our senior brother is called Ling Yun, and our second senior brother is called Qing Yun." , the third senior sister is called Han Yun."

From Shuiyun's mouth, Yun Ruoyan knew that the man who led them to check their ID tags just now was the elder brother, Ling Yun.

There are thirty disciples in their generation, and Shuiyun is exactly fifteenth.

"Close your eyes, you're about to enter the clouds." Shui Yun reminded Yun Ruoyan.

Although Yun Ruoyan didn't know why she had to close her eyes when she entered the clouds, she still did. She was puzzled, the last time Li Mo brought her here, she didn't let her close her eyes when she passed through the clouds, so why is she going to close her eyes this time.

After closing her eyes, Yun Ruoyan could only feel a bit cooler and cooler than when she didn't enter the clouds, and the pupils under her eyelids felt that the surroundings were getting darker.

After a while, Yun Ruoyan suddenly felt the warm sun shining on her body and the light in front of her eyes.

"Senior Sister Shuiyun, can I open my eyes?" Yun Ruoyan asked.

"Okay." Shuiyun said.

Yun Ruoyan got permission and then slowly opened her eyes. Although she had seen Kongming Academy before, Yun Ruoyan was still shocked by the sight at this moment.

There are more than one hundred high and low buildings, large and small, scattered on the top of the peak. The roofs of the buildings are made of glass-like materials, which look very beautiful with a little golden light in the sun.

Because it is at a high place, Yun Ruoyan feels that the sky here is clearer, the air is fresher, and even the sun seems to be bigger.

At this time, the sun was sitting on top of the clouds, and the golden-red sunlight spread over the sea of clouds, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

"It's so beautiful here, like a fairyland." Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but sigh.

"It's even more beautiful here when it snows heavily in winter." Shui Yun said to Yun Ruoyan, "Stand firm, I'm going to land on the square."

Shuiyun Yujian swept across the roofs of buildings, and finally brought Yun Ruoyan to land in a huge square in the center of Kongming Academy.

When Yun Ruoyan stepped on the ground of the square, a long and deep bell suddenly sounded, and the bell sounded like it was transmitted from the sky to the human world.

Yun Ruoyan looked around, searched around and finally found the place where the bell was ringing, it was the tower that Li Mo had taken her to.
