    Fu Changling shouted, all the examinees who were discussing the exam questions looked over, and then all greeted Qin Yan. Qin Yan nodded, and walked away without saying much.

    When Qin Yan walked away, Fu Changling's gaze remained on Qin Yan. The next official Mingyan saw him, and he couldn't help but curiously said, "Brother Shen knows Qin Daojun?"

    "Um?"

    Fu Changling turned around and heard Shangguan Mingyan's words, and quickly said: "No, I just admire Qin Daojun. I can't help but look more."

    "Brother Shen is right," Shangguan Mingyan also looked far away, with a bit of yearning in his eyes, "Who doesn't admire someone like Qin Daojun?"

    Fu Changling didn't speak, he silently moved a step aside, blocking Shangguan Mingyan's sight.

    He was born tall and a few years older than Shangguan Mingyan. With such a cover, Shangguan Mingyan can't see anything.

    Shangguan Mingyan looked up at Fu Changling in a daze, and Fu Changling hurriedly said: "Brother Shangguan, your seventh question..."

    Once the candidates had exchanged their answers, and had dinner arranged by Hongmeng Tiangong, it was afternoon. The afternoon essay test focused on the candidate's own background. Give a question that can be written and painted, and the paper can be handed in on time.

    This is not difficult for Fu Changling.

    After all, he was born in the four big families. Although he usually looks a little bit absurd, the Six Arts of Gentlemen have been learned since childhood. Compared with the ordinary people from all over the country, they are naturally very different.

    Everyone's subject was different. Yun Yu presented a box to him and asked him to draw it out. Fu Changling reached in and twisted a piece of paper. After opening it, he was stunned.

    His test question is, Beauty.

    A sect test has such a question, and the purpose of the test should be what kind of beauty he sees, so as to examine what he wants to pursue in his heart. This kind of pursuit, if it is similar to the goal of Hongmeng Tiangong, will be the target of their admission.

    Fu Changling figured out the deep meaning of the person who wrote the question, and then pondered the criteria for the sect of Hongmeng Tiangong who likes to choose people.

    Compared with other cultivating sects, Hongmeng Tiangong's origin is not the same.

    Other sects established sects, either because of special cultivation methods, such as Taoism seeking Taoism, Jianzong seeking swords, and Confucianism seeking benevolence, or through special bloodlines, such as the four schools of Fu, Su, Yue, and Lin. But Hongmeng Tiangong is not. It has neither specific cultivation techniques nor special blood inheritance.

    Hongmeng Tiangong was established three thousand years ago. After the Great War between Immortals and Demons, Yunze was completely barren, everything was thriving, the talents of Immortal Sect were withered, and because of the scarcity of resources, there were many struggles. So Jian Zun Ye Lan gathered a hundred families, elected seven elders, and jointly established the Hongmeng Temple.

    The seven elders were selected from the most prestigious people in Xianzong's hundred families, and Ye Jianzun was the palace lord. Because of Ye Lan’s status and strength, Hongmeng Tiangong became the head of the Yunze Immortal Realm and collected the world's kungfu collections. After this, the Hongmeng Tiangong mediated all affairs of Yunze, and the Hongmeng Tiangong decided the way of affairs by seven people. The elder and the palace owner vote together, and the palace owner alone has two votes.

    Later, when Ye Lanxian passed away, Yunze also entered the age of cultivating immortality under his plan. Each sect only cared about self-cultivation and strengthened its own sect. Only the Hongmeng Temple has maintained a consistent inheritance for three thousand years, managing the entire Yunze up and down. Big and small affairs.

    In the folk censorship and exorcism, generally only the disciples of Hongmeng Tiangong will come forward, and most of the other sects will ignore it, unless it is to temper the disciples, which is beneficial to cultivation.

    Such a sect, what kind of person do you want to choose?

    Fu Changling closed his eyes, and the first picture in his mind was Qin Yan.

    White clothes holding a sword, a soaring fire in front of him, wide-sleeved falling Yu Lie Lie flying around, taking me forward with my loneliness and courage.

    Fu Changling opened his eyes, took a deep breath, lifted the pen, stained with the ink in the inkstone, and the picture in his mind fell off.

    After he finished painting, he went forward to hand in the paper. Qin Yan was sitting on his seat with his eyes closed. Fu Changling didn't dare to look at him, so he lowered his head, respectfully put down the paper, and walked out anxiously. When he left the door, Qin Yan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the painting in front of him, falling on the person's name.

    Shen Xiufan.

    "Huh," Yun Yu returned from patrolling the examination room, his eyes fell on the painting, and couldn't help saying, "This painting looks like a brother."

    Qin Yan replied in a low voice, closed his eyes, and continued to meditate.

    Fu Changling walked out of the door and let out a deep breath. Chen Zhu was already waiting at the door. Seeing Fu Changling coming out, Chen Zhu said happily: "The son came out early, but is he confident?"

    "Nine points."

    After Fu Changling finished speaking, he went back to the inn with Chen Zhu.

    The second day was to test the sword intent. Fu Changling brought up a sword inlaid with beads and jade, and arrived at the test arena early. When he arrived at the ring, he saw a crowd of people, and he had long been surrounded by water.

    As soon as Fu Changling reached the outer circle, he heard Shangguan Mingyan's voice coming from inside: "Brother Shen!"

    Fu Changling saw Shangguan Mingyan beckoning to him in the crowd, he squeezed in quickly, and when he got to Shangguan Mingyan's side, he sorted out the crowded clothes while inquiring: "Brother Shangguan, why are there so many people?"

    He panted: "It's still early."

    "Today there are a lot of people, and Daojun Qin and Daojun Xie are the examiners together. Everyone is here to admire the demeanor of the fairy."

    "Examiner?"

    Fu Changling was stunned, "Isn't this a test of sword intent?"

    "I heard that because there were too many people, I changed it a little bit."

    Shangguan Mingyan explained: "After coming to power, Qin Daojun will make a sword, Xie Daojun will make a sword, and he can stand up after receiving two swords from two Daojun, even if he passes the test."

    After receiving Qin Yan and Xie Yuqing's swords, Hongmeng Tiangong didn't want to recruit people anymore.

    Fu Changling suddenly wanted to understand what the author of the question was thinking.

    "What if the whole audience can't catch it?"

    Fu Changling couldn't help but wonder, Shangguan Mingyan turned around and said sternly, "I will definitely take it."

    "You are very ambitious." Fu Changling blurted out, Shangguan Mingyan said seriously, "Qin Daojun saves my life, and I will desperately follow Daojun in the future."

    Hearing these words, Fu Changling was a little unhappy.

    He was the one who saved people back then, so why didn't Shangguan Mingyan remember so clearly?

    Fu Changling didn't think much about it. As soon as the gong rang, he heard everyone cheering, and then saw Qin Yan and Xie Yuqing's imperial swords coming and steadily falling on the ring.

    The clothes of the two are similar. Compared with Qin Yan, Xie Yuqing's whole body is more plain. She was born with a lackluster appearance. With this plain clothes, it is more like walking out of ice and snow.

    Shangguan Mingyan looked at the two people, lowered his voice, and said excitedly: "I heard that although Xie Daojun has not participated in the Junzitai controversy for a long time, his combat power is not inferior to Qin Daojun, and he is the first man of the new generation of swordsmanship in Hongmeng Tiangong."

    "Speak as you speak," Fu Changling was a little strange, "what's the excitement?"

    "You," Shangguan Mingyan blushed, "Don't you think Xie Daojun..."

    "very beautiful?"

    Shangguan Mingyan blushed even more at Fu Changling's interface. Fu Changling looked at it carefully, "I still think Qin Daojun looks better."

    The two were talking, and the above announced the rules. The person who took the two fairy monarchs and two swords was considered to pass, and then Yun Yu who stood above heard the first person's name "Yixian, Wang Dafang."

    As he said that, a man with five big and three rough men walked up, and he said with a trembling voice: "Under the …"

    Before he finished speaking, Xie Yuqing's long sword raised his hand and slashed it out, only to hear a loud "bang", and then Xie Yuqing's cold voice sounded: "Next."

    Seeing the Wang Dafang who was blasted ten feet away, everyone present couldn't help swallowing.

    After that, Fu Changling and Shangguan Mingyan kept seeing people appearing and flying; seeing people appearing, people flying... In this cyclic mode, they turned their heads.

    "Next."

    "Next."

    "Next."

    Xie Yuqing's voice was fast and cold, and Qin Yan next to him had no chance to make a sword. He stood quietly, as if he was just a mascot who came to fill the scene.

    After most of the people on the court were cleared, the name of Shangguan Mingyan was finally called. Shangguan Mingyan swallowed. He grabbed Fu Changling's name and said, "Shen...Brother Shen...wait a second, please...you must come..."

    "I will help you collect the corpse."

    Fu Changling shook his hand heavily, then pushed him forward, encouraging: "Go!"

    Shangguan Mingyan took a deep breath. He walked up and drew out the sword he had prepared with a spirit of seeing death as his home.

    Xie Yuqing blasted his sword over, and Shangguan Mingyan was blasted straight back to the edge of the ring. After the sword intent dissipated, he vomited with blood. His knees were almost bent, but he still supported himself with the sword and barely stood on him. On the ring.

    "good!"

    Fu Changling immediately applauded and cheered. Everyone looked at him. Fu Changling caught everyone's attention. He smiled embarrassedly, nodded to express his apology, and his voice became quieter.

    Shangguan Mingyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, tremblingly saluted Qin Yan, and respectfully said: "Qin Daojun."

    Qin Yan nodded, and then he drew out his sword. Everyone held their breath, and saw him raising his hand with a sword. The sword power was not strong. It pushed it past like a spring breeze, and after hitting Shangguan Mingyan , Straightly push the opponent three feet away.

    However, even though Shangguan Mingyan was pushed out, he still stood.

    When Yun Yu saw it, he hurriedly said: "Passed! Write it down, Shangguan Mingyan, passed!"

    Shangguan Mingyan reluctantly laughed when he heard this. Fu Changling pressed one hand on the railing in front of him, leaped lightly, and then rushed to the side of Shangguan Mingyan, holding him on the verge of falling. , Raised a smile: "How about it, I said to collect the body for you, can I come right?"

    Shangguan Mingyan smiled. Yun Yu stood on the stage and looked at Fu Changling who was coming and said, "Come on, come up, Shen Xiufan."

    Fu Changling was stunned, and Yunyang walked over next to him to help him hold Shangguan Mingyan: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, we will place him."

    "Go," Shangguan Mingyan patted Fu Changling on the shoulder, approached Fu Changling, and whispered: "Just get past Senior Sister Xie, Senior Brother Qin will release the water."

    Hearing this, Fu Changling couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him. He didn't expect that Shangguan Mingyan looked so stern and alone, so he was so floating.

    Before the test was over, the brothers and sisters had already called.

    After Shangguan Mingyan finished speaking, he was helped to leave by the people of Hongmeng Tiangong.

    After the clearing, Fu Changling stepped onto the ring. His peacock blue robe and the plain white on the opposite side were in vivid contrast to the plain white on the ring. As soon as he raised the beaded and jade sword in his hand, the dazzling light made the sword repairmen down. Head, glanced at the sword in his hand that was either black or white, in short, it was unpretentious and without any sense of beauty.

    I don't know why, everyone is a little angry.

    The opposite Xie Yuqing seemed to think so too. She frowned when she looked at Fu Changling's sword, then she raised her hand and flew away with a sword!

    Fu Changling saw the sword coming, and swung the sword to cut off Xie Yuqing's sword power. The two swords were carried together. After the collision, Xie Yuqing's sword power rushed to Fu Changling and pushed Fu Changling out by ten feet.

    Fu Changling's face turned pale, but he was not too embarrassed. Xie Yuqing gave a "Hey" and moved manually, as if he wanted to split again. Fu Changling quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Dao!"

    He stared at Xie Yuqing's sword: "Sure there is only one sword!"

    Xie Yuqing got the words, she hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "See you next time."

    Fu Changling immediately shook his head: "It's no longer possible."

    As he said, he turned his head to look at Qin Yan, smiling, his voice was much softer: "Qin Daojun, please."

    Qin Yan nodded, and Fu Changling felt a lot more relaxed when he saw his movements.

    He guessed that if two people are really going to take a sword with all their strength, he is afraid that he won't be able to choose a disciple today, and Qin Yan's role is probably to hold the ground. Just like Shangguan Mingyan just now, if Qin Yan really did move his hands, he wouldn't be able to save his life, let alone stop.

    Fu Changling looked at Qin Yan with a smile, full of expectation, he missed Qin Yan's sword intent very much.

    Especially, Sword Chunsheng's beautiful and gentle sword intent.

    However, after Qin Yan drew his sword, Fu Changling felt that something was wrong. He felt that Qin Yan's sword moved a bit slowly, and a sword repaired sword moved slowly, which was often a reason.

    He is accumulating power.

    What does Qin Yan do?

    This is just a small test for the new born in the foundation building period. He is the first person under a Nascent Infant, and what can the genius sword repair of the god of transformation be able to do with his sword? !

    Fu Changling felt a trace of panic, that is, at that moment, Qin Yan slammed his sword out!

    That sword was mixed with the tide of overwhelming mountains and seas, and flattened the entire arena, and rushed towards Fu Changling. Fu Changling opened his eyes wide, and he had no time to make any other resistance, so he could only raise his hand and use the sword to die!

    The sword wind was decayed and withered, as if a violent wind passed by. Fu Changling gritted his teeth, feeling that his clothes were torn apart by the sword wind, the pearls on the sword cracked, and he slammed on him!

    He suddenly knew why those swordsmanship swords were so simple.

    It hurts to smash the pearl agate on this critical sword!

    When the wind blew, the sword intent dissipated, and everyone looked at a cloud of smoke in the distance with horror. The smoke slowly dissipated, revealing Fu Changling in the middle.

    He supported himself with a sword, barely standing on the ground, his clothes in tatters, his hair messed up behind him, his face was bloodstained by broken jade, and his always smiling eyes stared at Qin Yan.

    Everyone was stunned. Xie Yuqing couldn't help but glance at Qin Yan. Qin Yan looked at him indifferently, "What's your dissatisfaction?"

    When Fu Changling heard Qin Yan speak, he suddenly became sober.

    dissatisfied?

    He dare not have.

    He grinned reluctantly, knocking out his teeth and bloody Tun: "No, no dissatisfaction."

    "Then what do I do?"

    "Yes..." Fu Changling's chest surged with blood, and then a mouthful of blood came out, mixed with the answer, and said vaguely, "Admiration."

    Yun Yu saw Fu Changling spraying blood, and finally reacted, and hurriedly said: "Finished. Yunyang, hurry up, bring the stretcher over!"

    Hearing this, Fu Changling felt that his life had come to an end, and he didn't hold on any more, closed his eyes and fell straight down.

    When Fu Changling woke up again, he was lying on the stretcher, Yun Yu and Shangguan Mingyan squatting next to him, Yun Yu fanned him, and looked at him with respect in his eyes: "This man Xiongtai, it’s not easy for you to survive."

    "Mr. Yun Xian..."

    Fu Changling recalled his identity and immediately showed excitement in his eyes. He had to bow to Yun Yu when he got up. Yun Yu held him down and said with emotion: "Hero, first lie down well."

    As he said, Yun Yu fanned Fu Changling: "Hero, this is the first time in my life that I have seen people who can connect with the two swords of Senior Sister Xie and Senior Brother, and you will not only receive two swords. Sword, it’s still an all-out blow from Senior Brother, it’s amazing brother!"

    Fu Changling lay and took a sigh of relief. He realized that all the injuries on his body had been dealt with.

    The wounds were treated by Hongmeng Tiangong’s low-level medical practitioners. After all, Shen Qingzhu was the first practitioner of Yunze’s medical practitioners, and ordinary people could not see his medicine. Naturally, these low-level medical practitioners did not see his previous injuries. And the existence of Jindan.

    Listening to Yun Yu's words, Fu Changling reacted slowly. Shangguan Mingyan fed him saliva. After drinking the water, Fu Changling said weakly: "Mr Yunxian, I have a word, I don't know whether to ask..."

    "You ask."

    Yun Yu fanned him with great interest. Fu Changling sighed, "Well, Qin Daojun has any opinion on me?"

    "He values ​​you." Yun Yu explained to him, "You don't know. Yesterday, your written test results shocked everyone. The Hongmeng Temple has been recruiting for so many years. It was the first time I saw a full score candidate. Everyone treats you very much. Looking forward to it. So brother suspects that you are a spy."

    Fu Changling was a little at a loss: "This... is this important?"

    "That's not it?" Yun Yu looked serious, "Do you think anyone can be suspected of being a spy?"

    Fu Changling changed more. After a while, he said: "Then now, does Qin Daojun still doubt it?"

    "I don't know about this." Yun Yu shrugged, "But as long as you are not a spy, you don't have to be guilty. You," Yun Yu said with a deep heart. You have a future, I don’t bother to mention you."

    Fu Changling smiled awkwardly. After talking with him for a while, Yun Yu patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him a few words, and got up and left.

    After he left, Shangguan Mingyan and Chen Zhu who rushed over carried him back to the inn. Chen Zhu asked a doctor to come and prescribe medicine for him. Shangguan Mingyan sat with him and sighed: "Tomorrow Hongmeng Tiangong The literary test scores will be released, and only those who have passed the martial arts test can enter the third level."

    "Brother Shangguan knows the content of the third level?"

    Fu Changling knew that Shangguan Mingyan and Hongmeng Tiangong were acquainted with each other, and he had already figured out the way to recruit. Shangguan Mingyan nodded and said with some anxiety: "The third level is to enter the Lingshan Forbidden Area of ​​Hongmeng Temple. In the past, people were divided into groups and competed for the number of spiritual grass picked. But this year..."

    "How about this year?"

    Fu Changling was a little puzzled, Shangguan Mingyan smiled: "It's a good thing. Looking at today's situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to get so many people in groups this year. Everyone has to compete separately."

    "That's not bad."

    Fu Changling nodded, after thinking about it, he continued: "However, I heard that the moonflower grass of Hongmeng Temple is also planted in the Lingshan Forbidden Land..."

    "That's in the back mountain," Shangguan Mingyan immediately knew his doubts, "it doesn't belong to the examination area, you must not go the wrong way and enter it by then."

    "clear."

    Fu Changling turned the fan and answered casually: "I will definitely not go."

    Is impossible.

    Moonflower grass is the best thing that can repair his golden core besides the past flowers. The Lingshan forbidden area of ​​Hongmeng Tiangong is usually not open. This is his best opportunity.

    Fu Changling secretly made his own little calculation in his heart. Shangguan Mingyan stood by for a while, and after Chen Zhu came in, Shangguan Mingyan left with Fu Changling.

    Fu Changling spent the night in the inn and recovered a lot. The next day he led Chen Zhu Shangguan Mingyan to look at the list. Hongmeng Tiangong released the list for the third level. There were only twenty people in total. Twenty people followed suit. The overall results of the three rounds are sorted, and the names of the three rounds are followed by the results. When Fu Changling looked up, he saw the words "Shen Xiufan" in the first place, followed by three "heavens".

    Tianzi means full marks. Fu Changling was stunned for a moment. He was able to get the first place, he thought it was no problem, but it was all full marks?

    He drew Qin Yan and handed it in, but he was not killed?

    Fu Changling was a little at a loss, but Shangguan Mingyan and Chen Zhu next to him were both happy. Shangguan Mingyan excitedly said, "Brother Shen, I know you will get first!"

    Fu Changling smiled awkwardly, his old cucumber came back with green paint to pretend to be tender. If he couldn't get the first place, he would be embarrassed.

    After getting the ranking and getting the quasi-test stickers from Yun Yu, Yun Yu explained the rules to them in detail: "At that time, you will be in a team, start collecting spirit grasses, and finally count the number of spirit grasses at the exit. You can move around. The areas in this sketch are all in this sketch. You will pull the line when the time comes. Don’t cross the line. There are many spirit beasts in the forbidden area of ​​Lingshan, and your area is full of low-level spirit beasts. If you stray into other places, you will encounter It's not certain what it will be. At that time, it will not be a question of whether you can pass the test, but your life." Yun Yu deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to be horrible, "I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee!"

    Fu Changling and Shangguan Mingyan nodded repeatedly.

    After a few days, everyone was recuperating from their injuries, and it was time for the third assessment. Fu Changling and Shangguan Mingyan arrived at the gate of Lingshan Forbidden Land almost together. This time they were much cleaner and there were almost no people. Xie Yuqing and Qin Yan were standing on a high place. Yunyang led his disciples to give a signal flare and identity jade pendant to each of twenty people. Yun Yu stood on a high place and said loudly: "After entering, you must not fight for other people’s spiritual grass or hurt others. If others are in distress, they will send a signal and we will rush to rescue them immediately. The time to collect the spirit grass is one day and one night. You must wait at the exit tomorrow morning. Otherwise, you will be dealt with as a waiver."

    After speaking, Yun Yu turned around and bowed towards Qin Yan and Xie Yuqing, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you can open the barrier."

    Qin Yan responded with a low voice and took out half of the iron seal from his sleeve. Xie Yuqing took out the other half. The two iron seals were paired together. The spiritual powers of Qin Yan and Xie Yuqing crossed by, and Fu Changling looked into the distance. I heard Shangguan Mingyan sighing from the side: "Senior Brother Qin and Senior Sister Xie, it's a natural setting. I heard that they have the same mindset in their cultivation, will they not form a Taoist couple in the future?"

    "will not."

    Fu Changling blurted out, Shangguan Mingyan was a little confused, and turned to look at Fu Changling: "How do you know?"

    Fu Changling pursed his lips. He felt a little bored in his heart, but he couldn't tell. He could only mumble: "This is not our discussion."

    "You're right." Shangguan Mingyan nodded, and he looked at Xie Yuqing and Qin Yan again. The Lingshan enchantment rumblingly opened. The moment the enchantment opened, the spiritual energy was blown by the wind, and all the monks in the room couldn't bear it. Live closed his eyes.

    Such a blessed place is the favorite place of all monks.

    "go in."

    Yun Yu yelled loudly, and everyone rushed into Lingshan, Shangguan Mingyan also trot in.

    Fu Changling held the sword, he raised his head and saw Qin Yan standing on a high place, quietly looking at them.

    Standing next to him was Xie Yuqing, with rocks descending layer by layer, and there were many disciples of Hongmeng Temple.

    He suddenly felt that Qin Yan was so far away from him, so far that he couldn't see his face, and couldn't hear his voice.

    But it doesn't matter.

    Fu Changling smiled and retracted his gaze, and walked to the mountain.

    He can walk no matter how far, he can still climb if he can't walk.

    As long as Qin Yan is still waiting for him.

    But what he didn't notice was that at that moment, he never thought about it.

    What if he didn't wait?
