non-plastic epic

Chapter 68 "It Wasn't Wild"

Xiang Dongliu, who was walking down the mountain road, was absent-minded and didn't know what to think. He stared straight at his own feet, as if he could pick up money if he kept staring. He was extremely focused.

When he reached a steep road, the color of the masonry in front of him came into his eyes.Looking up, I can vaguely see the small buildings in front of me. This should be the location of the outer courtyard of the Daoist Academy.

"Cultivation is so high, don't even tell me to take me for a while. Avoid suspicion, avoid suspicion! I avoid you big-headed ghost!" Xiang Dongliu thought of Shan Beifeng's words before he left, saying that it is not good to walk with him, Just go one step ahead.

The angry Xiang Dongliu grinned almost all the way.However, seeing that the Taoist temple was close in front of him, he still quickened his pace and walked forward quickly.

Xiang Dongliu let out a long breath, and temporarily got rid of the mess that lingered in his mind just now.It's really that the deeds of the dean that that guy said are too incredible, so incredible that people grit their teeth and don't know what to say.

Different from the cheating spar that he owns, it was only at the last moment that he messed up the silver snake wax figure.The young version of the dean directly relied on his strong belief in survival to make the silver snake wax figure dare not make any big moves for tens of thousands of years.Nest in the "mountain ditch" and suffer from hunger.

No wonder he founded the first and only Taoist temple in the world.

"Faith . . . can move mountains."

This is the last sentence of the dean mentioned by Shan Beifeng not long ago, and it is the original words of the dean.

But Xiang Dongliu felt that the painting style seemed wrong, shouldn’t it be the sentence that high subjective initiative overrides everything, haha.

After laughing, he took out a white, soft and short tail from his storage bag, flicked it twice and ran towards the gathering place of the monastery not far away.The figures of many people have already wandered there.

This tail is the tail of a snow fox mink, Shan Beifeng saw a snow fox mink when he was at a loss outside the maze, and pulled it out.Before leaving, I handed it to Xiang Dongliu.

Just before leaving and saying "avoid suspicion"...
At this time, the rising red sun was shining brightly on this tall and straight snow mountain. The warm morning sun seemed to split the mountain in two, half white and black.The white one is the mountain itself, and the black one is the shadow covered by the other half of the mountain.

As the sun rises, the boundaries between light and dark constantly change their positions.Slowly, the area on the other side of the shadow kept shrinking.It was as if a big ink-stained monster withdrew its protruding claws.

Looking from a distance, the claw was hanging behind Xiang Dongliu.But because of the sudden intervention of the sun, the black shadow shrank back to the foot of the mountain fearfully, as if it had encountered a nemesis.

······
The content of the second test is to cross a vertical distance of [-] feet to reach the outer courtyard of the Taoist Temple halfway up the mountain within three days. You can pass the second exam of the Taoist Academy.

Although the requirements are simple, the process is not.One is the time limit, only three days.The other is that it takes a lot of effort to find the cunning target of the snow fox ferret.

Xiang Dongliu would have gone through the same exam content as these other "classmates".But helpless, because he lost his mind on the way and strayed into the territory of the silver snake wax figure, the content of Xiang Dongliu's exam suddenly broke away from the difficulty of others.

It is no longer a superclass in the ordinary sense.Rather, it is equivalent to the fact that Xiang Dongliu's exam papers were the hell-level exam papers in Shandong and Jiangsu in his previous life.The difficulty experienced by these students is the entrance examination for elementary school in a corner.

Totally incomparable.

After learning that he was the only one who was tricked, Xiang Dongliu's head felt dizzy for a while, and he scratched his head really angrily. "Nimma, is my character so bad? This is not an exam at all, okay? Could it be that I entered a fake monastery? Or did they enter a fake monastery?"

"Hey, brother, cough man, have you noticed anything wrong?" Xiang Dongliu stepped forward and patted a young man who was standing alone and waiting not far from him.

At this time, there is less than a quarter of an hour before Maoshi. It may be that the difficulty of the exam has been blessed by Xiang Dongliu, so almost [-]% of the more than [-] people who participated in the second exam before have passed.There are more people who have successfully entered the examination than in any previous year, about [-]% more.

"Huh? How do you say that? I didn't find anything wrong." The person who was stopped by Xiang Dongliu turned his head, but he didn't look surprised. He seemed to be a scholar.

Because at this time there are still many people chatting in small groups.Therefore, the young man would not be surprised by Xiang Dongliu's initiative to fight.

"My dear brother, didn't you find that the content of the second test is too simple? Is it possible that the second test is not over yet, and when someone from the Taoist Academy comes out to announce that the third test will start soon, do you think it is possible?"

"Uh... what does someone think of this guy, what's his name?"

"Xiang, cough! Liu Yu, my surname is Liu Mingyu."

"Oh, Brother Liu? I have heard about it, but the one in the small town at the foot of the mountain speaks up for justice and denounces Xiong Bin, the son of Marquis Hongwu, who is unparalleled in eloquence, Brother Liu Yu?"

"It's right here." Xiang Dongliu felt that he was really bored, why not talk nonsense, just wait honestly, this buddy is slow, and he is a bit long-winded.But hey, when did I gain the reputation of being unparalleled in eloquence?

"It's just a joke, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. What do you want to say, dear brother, you should hurry up."

"...Someone thinks Brother Liu's words are wrong. The number of people in this open space seems to be five hundred, which is quite a lot. But based on my personal experience in the past three days, the two The content of the test is not easy. The snowstorm for two consecutive days and nights has caused many students to fail to make it here and be eliminated in advance. And the snow fox is not so easy to catch, and a certain one has to think a lot of ways to get away with it And get a short tail.

"It's really incomparable to those students in front of the open space who are excellent in will, strength, and intelligence. They arrived here at dusk yesterday, alas."

After speaking, this buddy sighed and was depressed for a while.

Xiang Dongliu looked forward, the open space where he was standing was next to Xuefeng, and there were only a few people, who seemed to have arrived not long ago just like himself.There are the most people in the front, and they gather in twos and threes to talk about the mountains.

And the few people waiting at the edge of the open space next to the buildings in the cottages may have arrived yesterday, and there happened to be two people they knew.

Xiong Bin, and a short boy who kept a three-step distance from him, the distance is getting farther, but Xiang Dongliu can still vaguely see the ordinary and slightly weird face of this short boy.The eyes are slightly larger and the other is smaller, and the eyebrows are also slightly higher and lower.It was the slapped kid I saw in the small town at the foot of Xuefeng.

"They, did they arrive yesterday... Shit, it's great to hand in the papers in advance." Xiang Dongliu was upset for a while.

"Hey, by the way, Brother Liu, there is one more thing you don't know yet."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Xiang Dongliu, who was upset, was interrupted and said perfunctorily.

"I also just learned that the snow fox ferrets that one of the requirements of the second test requires us to pull are actually pet animals that are free-ranged on the snow peaks of the Taoist monastery."

"...Uh, huh? A beast raised by the Taoist monastery?!"
