On the first day of the tenth lunar month, a huge mountain peaked from the Kun-Lai Mountains. It would pass by the Xizhou Wanli, pass through Fuxi, Anqin, Changming, and the Three Kingdoms, and landed outside the capital of the Great Xiao.
Almost at the same time, countless rays of light soared into the sky, and arrows shot towards the top of the mountain.
It stands to reason that this Feilai Peak will stay at Yangshuo Peak for half a day after it is pulled up, so that the disciples of the Foundation Establishment will go up to the peak.
It has long been a Kun-Lai practice for disciples to go to inspectors to pick dragons and phoenixes.
There is hardly anyone who doesn't want to go.
Only they know what the past ten years have been!
Back then, they thought they were very lucky to be selected, but the real tragedy is still to come.
Kun-Lai selection has never been about teaching or not, but choosing the best of the best.
From the moment they entered Kun-Lai, they encountered all kinds of exams.
From the literacy of the lower door, to the cultivation of the mind in the middle door, to the various spells of the door...
There is a small test every month, a middle school test in March, and a big test every year!
Each exam has a fixed number of eliminations.
After each exam is a cliff jumping day in Yangshuo!
If you don't get enough points every year, you will fail!
There is no second chance, once you fail, you will be screened and sent back, and once you fail, you must leave!
After all, the consumption of more than 100,000 candidates for Lingmi alone is a number that will make the Central Continent Great Sect faint.
Not to mention the talisman and all kinds of manpower consumed when studying.
The more you pass the test, the better, and the less you leave behind, otherwise, even if you are as rich as Kun-Lai, you will be crushed.
After being eliminated layer by layer, all the students who remained in the end were all battle-hardened and all-rounders—that day has come, and they really can't think of any hardships they can't bear!
It's just that many people leave behind the trivial trouble of the exam demon.
If a cultivator doesn't have two demons, is he still a cultivator
A Kun-Lai monk who has never failed a class is not a serious Kun-Lai monk.
And now, they dress! Kam! return! Township! !
On Feilai Peak, a group of monks at the Foundation Establishment stage simply jumped up and down.
"Wow, it's the first time for Nong to come out to play!" Sister Tu was so excited that her rabbit ears stood up. She also took the test for ten years, from a pampered little white rabbit to a beautiful jade rabbit. The sweat and tears she shed in the past ten years can pour over an acre of land. Several times she felt that she couldn't hold on, but thinking of those waste rabbits who couldn't get into the plate and live on Shennong Peak every day, she persevered. !
Feng Qingxiu also smiled: "Senior sister Feng Da, you'd better come back first."
A lot of disciples have already fallen to the peak. Although there is a cloud protection talisman, the influence is always bad.
"No!" Senior Sister Tu threw off her silk and flew into the sky, "Come too!"
Feng Qingxiu was dumbfounded, but as Shizun's only disciple, he had to maintain his poise and not lose face to him!
Anyway, he had been flying for a month before, enough.
"So it's absolutely right not to teach flying in the outer door!" A middle-aged teacher in the distance laughed, "You just learned a little bit of lifting and you were all flying rocks and walking walls, really taught, look, a All are going to heaven."
He is the peak master of this Feilai Peak, and this year's pick of the dragon and the phoenix will be escorted by him.
"Depressed for too long," Feng Qingxiu said with a smile, "the mood back then..."
He was as calm as him, and he was almost removed from his name several times. Those days were really inhuman.
No one wants to be squeezed out, and missing out on this kind of immortal fate is far more painful than never getting it.
So I'm looking for some excitement.
"Actually, at the very beginning, the outer sect would still teach spells such as sword-fighting," the young Taoist priest next to him also told him some interesting stories, "but after teaching, the people in the outer sect no longer have their legs, and there are always frequent air accidents. , so the outer door is no longer allowed to practice the technique of floating."
"The previous generation digs pits and the descendants jump, I understand." Feng Qingxiu nodded, just like when the first screening started, he heard that there was a sea of corpses under Yangshuo Peak, forcing Kunlai to make great efforts to the whole The outer door has set up a cloud protection network.
"Okay, we're almost done." The middle-aged Daoist sneered and glanced at the disciples in the sky.
Let Feng Qingxiu's heart suddenly burst, and she shouted: "You guys come back soon!"
And the little peak master said: "Speed up!"
The Taoist priest next to him nodded, held the jade talisman high, and the white light rippled on the talisman, causing ripples like water waves to suddenly appear outside the entire mountain...
The entire mountain accelerated in an instant, leaving the disciples in the sky far behind.
"Wait for us—" A scream came from the sky.
Countless white lights chased up and were hung far away by the mountain peak.
Several spiritual thoughts passed by in the sky, all with a hint of smile.
The 12-year chasing mountain scenery has begun again.
——
Great Xiao
As the head of the three major suzerain states in the Western Continent, the Great Xiao has a longer history than Kun-Lai.
This country located in the Wuling Sea was originally the only inhabited place in Xizhou, and it was also when Daxuan expanded that some sinners in Central Continent were forced to come here to reclaim, and it was difficult to live in the barren land of Xizhou, barely making ends meet.
Wulinghai is the largest lake in Xizhou. It was later occupied by the Daxuan Dynasty to expand its territory. The people of Xizhou began to migrate and settle in large numbers since then. Calculate the outer domain boundary.
Until hundreds of years ago, the weather in Xizhou changed drastically, the water vapor became abundant from the original scarcity, the water plants began to flourish, and the water level began to rise.
Wulinghai gradually turned into a huge inner lake hundreds of thousands of miles. With water, the land became better, trees grew, and no life spread faster than green. For hundreds of years, the population of Xizhou has skyrocketed, and the conditions are better. , the population increased, and gradually some people migrated to new places and formed new kingdoms.
This is also the origin of many countries in Xizhou today.
Late autumn and October are the season after the busy farming season.
At this time, there was basically no farming in the fields, most of the grains had been harvested, and every household began to work hard for the winter.
However, this year is different, almost all the young children between seven and seventeen have raised their hearts.
The once-in-twelve-yearly pick the dragon and the phoenix is here again.
Every time at this time, the immortals of Xizhou will select their children from various places and send them to the immortal mountain.
Feilai Peak is huge, and wherever it goes along the way, countless mortals worship the ground and cannot afford it for a long time.
"Hmph, arrogant!" A young girl complained as she glared at the mountain as it passed by.
She was tall and slender, dressed in linen and dressed as a man, standing outside a mountain courtyard, looking at a few teenagers who left with a burden, she jumped with anger: "You are picked up by the master and raised, taking care of you for so many years, Are you so spineless?"
"Senior sister, we're just going to try, we'll come back if we don't get selected." A chubby boy whispered.
"What are you doing back here, do you think our mountain gate is rare?" The girl was furious.
"Okay child." A fat aunt handed her the burden, "Go quickly, and take good care of senior brother along the way."
"I won't go, the mountain gate is my home."
"Nonsense! The old lady has worked hard for more than ten years to gather enough trouble for you. If you don't go, don't even think about entering the house!" The aunt put the package in her hand, "Go quickly!"
…
"Are the leggings ready?" An old man asked at the entrance of the village to a group of children to teenagers.
"It's done!"
"What about dry food and water?"
"Bring it."
"The maple leaves are already inserted on our heads. Picking the dragon and choosing the phoenix is a major event in Xizhou. If it is inserted, it means that we are participating in the election, and the bandit Roadhog will not embarrass us!"
"It's plugged in!"
"The village chief—" A village woman rushed to her knees with a sick boy, "Bring my child along too! He's smart enough to be chosen!"
"If you don't have any money, you can't go with us. It's a rule. Besides, even if you get some food for him, you won't have to worry about resting and rushing along the way, and his body can't bear the burden. If something happens, it's not to delay the children of the whole village. What? Don't say it, let's go."
…
"Are things ready for this year?" In the courtyard of the deep house, a luxurious lady asked the young man.
"Don't worry, mother, an immortal teacher has already seen it for the child. The child has spiritual roots and can definitely be selected." The young man said confidently.
"Then be careful. The second room has always been jealous of us. Recently, I have been paying attention to our diet. Once you have a chance, you can't be stumped!"
"My son obeys!"
…
"You are all servants of the Bai family. This time you have children from your family who have the opportunity to participate. I don't ask you to remember my family, but if you are selected, you have to marry a lady of the Bai family. Come and sign the contract." Servant Inside the room, a bearded housekeeper spoke to the teenagers.
"What if you don't sign?" a young man asked in a low voice, and was stabbed by the young man next to him.
It's not that they are hypocritical, the ladies look like that...
"If you don't sign, you can go by yourself. First of all, the queue is very long. The Kunlai Immortal Masters only stay here for two months.
"We sign our sign."
…
The same thing happened in countless places in Xizhou. Ji Mingyu, dressed in plain clothes, came all the way, puzzled: "Isn't there a heart stone in every city? Why do you have to prepare in such a hurry?"
This is the capital of the Great Xiao Kingdom. In front of them, there is already a long team entering the city, entrenched at the entrance of the city like a long snake.
Ye Han opened the way for her and said with a wry smile: "How many years have passed since the Heart-Questioning Stones, Xizhou has a large population for many years, and the Heart-Questing Stones have long been insufficient. The whole family of high-level nobles has tried them out, so that there is a little chance for the children of the poor family. "
Ji Mingyu nodded: "That's true, Xizhou's population has grown rapidly in recent years, and Kun-Lai has brought back more and more disciples once every twelve years. Although there are few outstanding ones, basically no one wants to go to Shennong Peak, Lingmi. The output is not up, which severely limits the number of low-level children."
"What does this have to do with Shennong Peak?" Ye Han couldn't understand, "Isn't there a bigu pill?"
"You're going to starve to death and have no food to eat, so why don't you eat meat, right?" Ji Mingyu rolled his eyes at him.
Ye Han silently bowed his head.
"Back then, my father studied heaven and man and discovered that the source of what a monk needs is aura." Ji Mingyu then explained to him, "The source of aura has always been different, but in a land with abundant mountains and rivers, there has always been a lot of aura, so my father found that as long as a The five elements of the earth are constantly alive, and there is spiritual energy."
Ye Han was at a loss: "The five elements are endless?"
"A piece of land itself belongs to soil, the vegetation on it belongs to wood, water belongs to water, light belongs to fire, and stone belongs to metal. As long as there are more plants and trees, spiritual energy will be generated, which will allow the evolution of living beings—" Ji Mingyu glanced at him and said lightly. , "That's what my father said."
So she doesn't understand what evolution is.
"Father made the Taoist seeds from the five elements of heaven and earth, but he can open a spiritual field in Zifu. The five elements circulate, and there will be spiritual plants generated without the aura overflowing. Only then can he support countless low-level monks." Ji Mingyu said proudly, "This Taoist seed The requirements for people are very low, and it is more advantageous to plant multiple spiritual roots, but few of you are willing to go to Shennong Peak."
Ye Han shrank his head and didn't speak. Even so, let him go to farm... or not.
"This time, we have to start from scratch to pick the dragon and choose the phoenix. This is the real entrance. I want to see where Feng Qingxiu arouses my father's love!" Ji Mingyu is high-spirited.
"I'll accompany you!" Ye Han said decisively. He was decadent for several months when he lost the opportunity. This time he has the opportunity to make up for it, of course he will go.
"Let's go, I heard that if you give the government a little money, you can have a local household registration, and local testing is given priority!" Ji Mingyu walked into the city with great interest.
"Remember to change your age." Ye Han said, and followed.
At this time, there was a sudden uproar in front.
"The national teacher is here, kneel down!" a voice shouted.
Countless people around knelt down instantly, and they were pulled down without kneeling.
A luxurious cloud car drove by on the avenue, accompanied by beautiful women and guarded by the Imperial Army.
Ji Mingyu naturally wouldn't kneel, but after seeing the appearance of Yunche's Chinese teacher in front of him, he quickly pulled Ye Han to hide.
"What's wrong?" Ye Han was startled, seeing who Mingyu was hiding for the first time.
"It's actually that idiot Xiao Yuan." Ji Mingyu snorted coldly, "If you want to marry me, you don't even look at who you are, it's more annoying than a fly, I don't want to be entangled by him, the Great Xiao actually invited such a person. A national teacher, which Kun-Lai ancestor did you offend?"
Ye Han snorted and silently kept the state teacher's appearance and appearance in his heart.
"Go through another door, don't let him recognize him."
"it is good!"
