Chapter 64 The Trial Begins

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning.

There was a heavy snowfall last night. After the snow stopped this morning, a large number of soldiers came to clear the snow. Along the central axis, the imperial road was used as a boundary, and the snow cleared from the imperial city was transported away from the east and west gates. Especially near the Chengyuan Hall, the cleaning was even more careful.

The Chengyuan Hall is tall and majestic, with a unique style. It stands in the east of the palace city. Only when the Chengyuan Examination is held every year and all parties discuss the law, the heavy hall door will be opened.

At this time, the door of the hall was opened, and hundreds of people gathered in the hall, and several camps were clearly divided.

"My lord, there are quite a lot of people. Are there so many people participating in the Chengyuan Examination?"

Among the students of Chonghua Academy, Fan Qingyao rested her hands on Lin Lan's wheelchair, looking curiously at the practitioners from various forces around her.

Lin Lan half-closed her eyes, indifferently, and just hummed perfunctorily.

Fan Qingyao had long been used to her son's perfunctory attitude, snorted lightly, then turned to look at Yan Nan beside her, and asked, "Sister Yan Nan, do you know?"

"Most of them are the same as the two of us, they just came to watch the battle." Yannan said and yawned, "If Uncle Qi hadn't asked me to take a look, I would have wanted to sleep at home because of the New Year's Eve."

"How long will this test take?" Fan Qingyao asked curiously.

"Generally speaking, the competition can be finished on the same day." Yan Nan said casually, "However, the number of people participating in the competition has doubled this time, so I don't know."

At this time, the crowd in the worship hall not far away suddenly slowly separated.

And a young man in green robe came out of the empty path. He didn't carry a sword, but his eyebrows and eyes were like a sword, his spine was like a sword, and his steps were like a sword. He walked straight towards the crowd of Chonghua Academy.

The green-robed man was full of sword intent, and his whole body was like a sharp sword. Seeing him walking indifferently, some students with lower cultivation levels in Chonghua Academy subconsciously backed away when they saw this.

Soon, the green-robed man came to Lin Lan and Fan Qingyao, the master and servant.

Fan Qingyao took a look, frowned slightly and said, "It's you? Chen Yan?"

Chen Yan ignored her, but stared at Lin Lan sharply, and said, "Lin Lan, I thought I might have to wait until next year's Chengyuan Examination to meet you, but I didn't expect you to enter the country very quickly. This year, I participated in the Chengyuan Examination, so it couldn't be better."

When the students around heard this, they cast their gazes over.

Lin Lan slightly raised his eyelids, glanced lazily at Chen Yan, and let out an inexplicable sound in his nose: "Huh?"

"I'll never forget what you said to me..."

Chen Yan stared at him, and said in a low voice: "No matter how strong the sword intent is, I am just a sword? I am a sword, so I will speak directly. Since you dare to come to the Chengyuan Exam, I will let you understand , who is right, my sword or you who wields the sword."

Lin Lan understood what this man meant. It turned out that he was here to provoke and show off, so she couldn't help yawning a little bored.

Chen Yan frowned in displeasure. He regarded Lin Lan as his lifelong opponent, but Lin Lan's attitude was so perfunctory, as if he didn't trust him?
He didn't have a seizure, he just glanced at the wheelchair under Lin Lan and frowned slightly.

He remembered that on the day of the entrance examination, although Lin Lan was lazy, he was not to the point where he didn't want to take a step, and he didn't use a wheelchair at that time.

Chen Yan said coldly: "Why are you sitting in a wheelchair?"

Lin Lan said casually, "The sacrificial wine was very full yesterday."

Chen Yan was taken aback by his nonsensical sentence, and then he frowned and said, "I ate a lot yesterday, so what does it have to do with you being in a wheelchair?"

Lin Lan glanced at him, and said lightly, "I'm in a wheelchair, what does it have to do with you?"

Fan Qingyao couldn't help laughing.

The surrounding Chonghua students also laughed lightly when they heard the sound.

Chen Yan's face became more and more cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Just take advantage of the advantage of talking now. With your morality, if you are unlucky, it is hard to say whether you can persist in the meeting until you fight against me."

After finishing speaking, he glanced coldly at the Chonghua Xuezhengs around him, then turned around and left.

The No. [-] Swordsman next to him was looking at Chen Yan's back, and said softly: "Mr. Lin, this Chen Yan seems to have made great progress. Your performance in the winter exam has already spread to Chonghua. He should know about your performance." Dao Xing is still so confident, I think I have some confidence."

"Perhaps." Lin Lan's face was calm.

At this time, a burly and tall figure wearing a scholar's shirt walked beside him. He was an acquaintance, the son of the Fengtian Army's commander 'Mo Jinhuan'.

"Mo Jiaoyu."

The students around all saluted one after another.

"Don't be too polite, I'm the leader of Fengtian Army's trial test now."

Mo Jinhuan waved his hand, then looked at Lin Lan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that you are retreating for the exam recently. I didn't dare to disturb you, so I'll make a call now." call."

Lin Lan glanced at him and said, "Why are you here?"

The relationship between Chonghua Academy and Fengtian Army is quite close. Not only the Xuezheng who practiced "Only My True Body" in Chonghua Academy may join Fengtian Army, but also the qualified talents of Fengtian Army Come to the Academy to attend classes, but it is still considered two forces.

"We have a prestigious centurion from the Fengtian Army who also came to participate in the test, so I will support the scene."

Mo Jinhuan explained, and then said: "Mr. Lin actually came to participate in the test, this time is a bit dangerous, but I have already said hello in advance, if you meet the centurion of our Fengtian Army , he will be merciful."

Lin Lan let out an oh, and said casually, "Thank you."

"What are you being polite about?" Mo Jin laughed, "We are best friends, why are we thanking you?"

"Mo Jiaoyu." Fan Qingyao couldn't help but said: "How can you be sure that my son is not the opponent of your centurion from the Fengtian Army?"

"Miss Fan, don't be angry, I dare not underestimate Mr. Lin."

Mo Jinhuan explained: "The centurion of our Fengtian Army has already cultivated to the level of semi-supernatural powers, but he is getting old and his vitality is gradually declining. The true meaning of martial arts, the combination of two and a half supernatural powers, is expected to win the championship this time, so my father asked me to come to town."

When the students around heard this, they couldn't help but secretly marvel.

If it is a semi-supernatural ability, in this test, it may only be in the middle and upper reaches. Unless there are other special features, it will be difficult to enter the top ten.

But after the combination of the two highly compatible semi-supernatural powers, the true meaning of martial arts and the real body of only me, it will be completely different, and it is definitely a strength that is expected to win the championship!

Chen Yan, who was not far away from the camp of the Temple of Enshrinement, seemed to have heard the conversation here, and glanced coldly at the crowd of the Fengtian Army camp, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't take it to heart.

After Mo Jinhuan left, several practitioners from other camps came to talk to Lin Lan, but most of them came with good intentions and wanted to make friends.

Especially the Hall of Respecting the Buddha and the Hall of Respecting the Tao are treated with extreme courtesy, at least on the surface.

These two forces originated from other countries, and when they settled in Chonghua City, they both wanted to make good friends with Renzong. Naturally, both sects wanted the support of Renzong so that they could become the new state religion.

As for Jingtiantai, who didn't come over at all, the most eye-catching one was the young man with half long hair and half bald head, with a crooked scar on his face and a long knife on his back.

After a while, Princess Pingle also arrived, and the old Wu Pavilion Master who looked like an old woman was still by his side.

"See the county lord."

Seeing the princess coming in, all the people present saluted immediately, and the voices of hundreds of people echoed in the hall.

It's just that, with the princess's unapproachable temperament and indifferent appearance, coupled with her identity and rumors, naturally no one dared to go over to say hello, and it was almost just a routine salute.

"Mr. Lin."

Princess Pingle walked to Lin Lan's side naturally, and asked casually, "Are you still practicing at this time?"

"It's not too late anyway." Lin Lan hummed.

Princess Pingle smiled, "Have you made some progress in the past half a month?"

"Not much." Lin Lan said concisely.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd couldn't help being stunned. This princess, who has always been indifferent to others, was talking and laughing with Lin Lan?

Another moment passed.

The sundial outside the hall is engraved, and it is time.

At this time, three people finally came out of the apse. After a few steps in a daze, the three of them stood at the high place of Chengyuan Hall.

The person on the left is a young woman wearing a silver mask. The mask covers the upper half of her face, only revealing the part below the nose. She is wearing a gold-embroidered black boa robe, and the Big Dipper can be seen on her chest. One of the seven venerables, his status is equivalent to the head of the Renzong Secret Pavilion.

The person on the right is Master Jijiu, who is familiar to all the alumni of the Chonghua Academy, but Pavilion Master Yue did not wear the chic sapphire blue robe this time, but changed into the official uniform of Jijiu, which looks too much Somewhat majestic.

As for the person in the middle, it is a middle-aged man wearing a high crown, wearing a dark purple-based costume, and a dragon-blue jade pendant hanging from his waist. One can tell at a glance that this person is the master of the palace's enshrining hall. figure.

Immediately, the three of them sat down on the three high seats.

In the Chengyuan Hall, it was also quiet.

The tall crowned man sitting in the middle said: "This seat is the Lord of the Wudian Hall of Enshrinement. This time, together with the Lord of Yue Pavilion of Renzongshu Pavilion and Venerable Jingtiantai Yaoguang, we will be in charge of presiding over the Chengyuan Examination together."

The Master of the Palace of Martial Arts glanced at the crowd below, and said calmly: "The seven young practitioners participating in the Chengyuan Examination this time are eight from the Chonghua Academy, eight from the Jingtiantai, eight from the Hall of Enshrinement, and eight from the Fengtian Army. , eight people from Zhengansi, four from Lifo Hall, and four from Jingdao Hall, a total of 48 people, twice as many as in previous years, but... the system of the examination has not changed, it is still the same as in previous years."

The people below listened quietly.

In the previous year's test, it was the most common lottery, 24 people with twelve numbers, and those who got the same number fought in pairs, and the winners advanced to the next round. It only took three rounds to decide the top three, and then the loser group Then choose the one with the highest Taoism, and the top four will fight.

This session of 48 players is nothing more than a Dobby round.

……

Soon, the 48 candidates who will take the test have already drawn lots.

The number Lin Lan got was 'Thirteen', but he didn't know who got the same number 13.

Forty-eight people, the first round was divided into 48 groups of competitions, and the three of them jointly supervised the battle, the master of Wu Dian, the master of Yue Pavilion, and the venerable Yaoguang.

The Chengyuan Hall is so majestic and majestic, so it is naturally wide enough. The inside of the hall alone is more than a hundred feet long and wide. There are strange traces and non-gold and non-jade floor tiles on the ground. It is obvious that the formation has already been arranged, and there is a faint An invisible barrier enveloped an open space with a radius of eighty feet, which was obviously the venue for the competition.

"When the lottery was drawn just now, I also checked your vitality."

Master Wu glanced at the crowd below, and said calmly: "It is true that all of them are practitioners at the beginning stage, no one has cultivated supernatural powers, and no one in the second hall of Taoism and Buddha has cultivated the law of the earth and the state of contemplation, which meets the requirements of the examination. Try not to use foreign objects that incorporate other people's power, otherwise you will be disqualified immediately, and if you understand it clearly, then let's start."

"The first group, Fengtian Army 'Zhang Chengyuan', is facing Lifodian' Zhenlian', please enter the barrier."

Following the voice of the master of Wudian, a centurion of Fengtian Army and a young monk from Lifodian stepped into the formation barrier.

As the competition started, everyone could see that the difference in strength between the two was very small, and the competition was quite anxious.

Lin Lan also observed the Buddhist methods of the young monk in the Lifo Hall.

It looks a bit like the solipsistic body and the means of martial arts will. The young monk in the state of "awareness", with a luster like copper and gold, relied on the same seal method to fight against the centurion of the Fengtian Army Close combat, but it is obviously different under closer inspection.

The centurion of the Fengtian Army practiced the supernatural power of "only my real body" purely from his own body, and he did not use the power of heaven and earth at all.

But the young monk's seal technique is quite powerful, obviously not as powerful as the centurion of the Fengtian Army, but every palm arouses the blessing of the Buddha's light, half martial and half magical, it is even comparable.

It is rumored that the power of Taoist sect comes from the power of heaven and earth, and the power of practitioners of Buddhist sect comes from 'Buddha', which is indeed true.

After a while, the strength of the centurion of the Fengtian Army gradually weakened, and after ten or so moves, the young monk seized the opportunity and used a powerful set of suppressing demons to block him.

Then came the second group, the third group, the fourth group...

"The fifth group, 'Chen Yan' in the hall of worship, against 'Zhao Chongxin' in Chonghua Academy, please enter the barrier."

It was Chen Yan who gave up Xuegong Sword Learning and worshiped in the Sword Hall of the Temple of Consecration, and his opponent happened to be Zhao Chongxin, the number one student of Xue Gong Sword Learning.

"Zhao Chongxin? It's the first school of swordsmanship, right? I've heard of you. Your skills should be comparable to that of Lin Lan's?"

Chen Yan sized up Zhao Chongxin, then glanced at Lin Lan regretfully, "It's not bad for you to lose, but it's just a pity."

After speaking, he strode into the barrier.

Chen Yan's obvious mocking and contemptuous words naturally aroused the anger of all the disciples in the academy.

"Brother Zhao, teach this arrogant kid a lesson."

"Brother Zhao's kendo supernatural powers have been around for 80 years, and there is also a spirit sword bestowed by the master of the Jiange Pavilion. The strength is enough to rank in the top five in the school. That kid has only practiced for three months, and he is not a peerless genius like Senior Brother Lin. , how could it be brother Zhao's opponent?"

"This Chen Yan is so confident, maybe he really has some morals, Brother Zhao, don't take it too seriously."

Under the watchful eyes of Xuegong swordsmen, Zhao Chongxin also walked into the barrier, sixty feet away from Chen Yan.

Lin Lan also watched quietly.

He has just been promoted to Xuezheng, and has not yet taken the winter exam for Xuezheng, so the number one Xuezheng of sword science has not changed yet.

However, he wasn't interested either.

Inside the barrier, Chen Yan and Zhao Chongxin are also ready.

Beside Zhao Chongxin hung a sword weapon as blue as the sea, with a faint surging sword intent emanating from the sword, one could tell it was definitely not an ordinary magic sword.

There is nothing special about ordinary magic swords, but they are easier to drive with swords, and this sword is obviously already a magic weapon, and the sword itself is enough to increase its power to a certain extent.

"go with!"

Zhao Chongxin stared at Chen Yan, who was sixty feet away, and immediately pinched the sword formula with his hand, and gave a soft drink, and the azure sword magic weapon turned into a sword light rushing like a sea tide, and flew towards Chen Yan in the air.

Chen Yan looked indifferently at the sea-like blue sword light, and suddenly waved his hand.

A gust of wind picked up.

A cold sword light flew out from his fingertips, like a thunderbolt, instantly hit the wave-like azure sword light at an astonishing speed.

The azure sword light shook violently, flying backwards uncontrollably.

And the cold sword light released by Chen Yan flew over a distance of sixty feet in an instant, and slashed at Zhao Chongxin who was full of shock.

At the same time that the cold sword light struck Zhao Chongxin, strange patterns lit up on the floor of Chengyuan Hall, and those non-gold and non-jade floor tiles also became translucent.

An invisible flexible force enveloped Zhao Chongxin's body, protecting him, but the cold sword light just knocked him into the air, and stopped chasing him.

"Chen Yan, win."

The voice of Lord Wudian echoed in Chengyuan Hall.

Outside the barrier, everyone watching the battle watched this scene in astonishment.

"One sword defeat?"

"Zhao Chongxin's supernatural powers of swordsmanship are already well established, and he is not far away from semi-supernatural powers, and his sword is also a magic weapon after all, so he can't even stop it with a single sword?"

"This Chen Yan has only practiced for three or four months, how can he be so strong?"

"I heard that he gave up the sword study in the Chonghua Academy and turned his head to worship under the sword enshrined 'Old Man Qiujian'. I didn't expect such amazing progress!"

"Entering the country so quickly, isn't it even more evil than Lin Lan?"

There was an uproar among the crowd watching the battle, obviously they were all shocked by Chen Yan's hand.

You must know that anyone who can participate in the Chengyuan Examination is a top-notch figure among young practitioners from all walks of life. The heat for forging the prototype of supernatural powers is getting deeper and deeper, and many people still have magic weapons, and no one is weak.

But... defeated with one move?
It is conceivable that the gap in strength is huge.

And the three sitting on the high place, Master Wu, Pavilion Master Yue, and Venerable Yaoguang, saw all this clearly.

"This Chen Yan is really not afraid of death."

Lord Wu shook his head slightly, and said: "The Lord Sword is also a lunatic, and he let Chen Yan overdraw his life and even his soul to feed that divine sword. In this way, it can indeed exert some power. After all, it is a 'true treasure'. Even a little bit of power is better than ordinary demigods."
