Big waves wash the sand

With the end of the Spring Festival, the various sects descended the mountain one after another.

People are gone, and Taixuan Mountain has recovered its pure color rarely.But for the disciples of the Nine Sects, the test is far from over.

The disciples who joined the Nine Sects first studied together in the Tianyan Sect, and they decided to go to which school to study after they took the final exam at the age of 16.

Xiao Tu came down from the back mountain and met Lin Qi by the Shangqing Pool.

Lin Qi was sharpening his sword in his looped waist, and there was an open sword case on the ground.There are three places in the sword box, but only two swords.

Lin Qi saw him and waved at him: "Where is the exam?"

Xiao Tu: "Tian Yan."

Lin Qi scooped up some water on the sword, and said while grinding it, "Tianyan is not easy to test, are you sure?"

Xiao Tu grinned, and raised his sword to leave.

Lin Qi stopped him: "Wait, bring 'Chengying' with you."

Kong Zhou's sword, the upper sword contains light, the middle sword carries the shadow, and the lower sword carries the shadow.

The upper sword has been refined into a flying sword by Lin Qi, and the whereabouts of the remaining two swords are unknown.Xiao Tu had already guessed when he saw the sword box.

But he didn't want it, he raised 'Ting Chao': "If you really want to give it away, just 'Ting Chao'? You're used to it."

Lin Qi looked at him like an idiot: "I don't even want the ancient sword, but the iron lump?"

The Tingchao was forged by Lin Qi when he was young, and he forged three in total, for apprentices who are new to swords to practice.

Ting Chao is actually not easy to use at all, and he doesn't look very good, holding it like a mallet in his hand.

Ting Chao's twin brothers were thrown into the debris pile by Shu Yangping like a hot potato, and disappeared, and followed Meng Yangzhou to wander around the rivers and lakes, also missing.

Only a handful of spares were left, and Lin Qi dug them out of the house and took them to Dongxuan.And because he realized the sword formula of listening to the tide while watching the tide in Dongxuan, he named it "Listening to the Tide".

Apart from the fact that this sword came from the hands of Lord Tianyan, there is really nothing remarkable about it, Shu Yangping's attitude should be the most normal.

Xiao Tu shrugged his shoulders: "If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first, and I shouldn't be allowed to enter the arena for a while."

He walked into the room and went to the bookcase to get his graduation experience record.

He habitually flipped through two pages, walking while flipping, until he saw a lot of things added with cinnabar on it, and his heart sank: "How can I hand in this?"

Lin Qi supported the door: "I made a copy for you, and it's on the table."

He walked in on his own, and within two days of living here, he naturally regarded this place as his home again.He handed the transcribed pamphlet to Xiao Tu, and replaced the old manuscript: "It's well written, but I heard that Tianyan will reduce its recruitment this year, so I changed it for you. Just in case."

He smiled: "It's all your master's failure to live up to expectations."

Only Tian Yanjun's apprentice can be exempted from the exam.

If Shu Yangping didn't take advantage of this point, would he want to take the Tianyan exam?Must hang.

Lin Qi saw Xiao Tu off, and leaned against the edge of the desk on the spot.

His hands were still dripping, once Xiao Tu left, he was the only one left in Tianyan Peak, so deserted that even a bird refused to fly over.

He sighed, wiped off the water, and removed the loops.The wide sleeves of his clothes drooped all of a sudden, and he pinched the loops, not knowing what to do.

He never knew what to do.

It seems that there is no difference between Tianyan Sect with him or without him. He is like a superfluous person who was sent to the frontier to guard this Tianyan Peak for the prison bosses.

Shu Yangping was very popular since he was a child, and he often called out friends, but every time his friends saw Lin Qi, they scattered like birds and beasts.Shu Yangping was ignorant when he was a child, so he told Lin Qi not to pick him up.

Lin Qi looked at the little friend who ran away, and at Shu Yangping who was left alone, feeling quite guilty.Since then, he has been shrinking on the mountain, never going down the mountain easily.

No one wants to play with him.

As time went by, he became less talkative and less fond of meeting people.The name of Tianyanjun Gaoling Flower has also lasted forever.

If Xiao Tu passed the test to another mountain, then he would be alone again.

On Tianheng Peak, two young disciples were chatting at the door.

One is a little bigger, looks like he is in his 20s, sitting on the stone at the door, with his legs crossed, and the sword is casually placed on his lap.The other one is smaller, squatting on one side, holding a cheat sheet on his lap, listening and memorizing.

The older one is the senior brother from the previous sessions, who has already entered Tianyan.

The little one is about to enter the examination room.

The brother said: "How should I put it. Tianyan is just a pot of hodgepodge. In terms of specialization, it is definitely not as good as other schools, but its reputation will definitely improve in the future. The rules are not too strict, and most of them rely on self-consciousness. .”

The younger brother nodded and wrote down one by one.

The brother glanced at it, and continued to say: "Tianshuo exercises, they advocate hard work, it is very tiring; Tianheng's words, pay attention to the discipline, and follow the saying of 'strict teachers make excellent students'. One of my seniors was admitted to Tianheng. The last time I saw him, I didn’t dare to sit on a stool all day—because I drew the wrong character.”

The younger brother immediately divided the two factions of Tianshuo and Tianheng, and ignored them.

This senior brother is here every year to solve doubts, and he has seen through what these little things are thinking, but he just loves to tease them seriously.

He said slowly: "The way of heaven, virtue is not close to sages, and those who are not close to immortals will not be doctors. If you don't have the heart to save the world, don't go. God is in charge, and those with unrighteous intentions will not be passed on. The selection of people is very strict." For Tianyuan, if you have a flexible mind, you can think about it, otherwise you will really go crazy and don't manage it strictly. Tianxuan, you can go to Tianxuan, there are not many rules, and you can come back to repair the back door after you learn it."

The little junior wrote and drew, scribbled and corrected, and finally looked at him waiting to be fed.

The senior brother rubbed his nose: "Ha, there is only Tianwu and Tianxuan left, right? Tianwu has no rules and regulations, the strong are respected, and injuries are commonplace. If you want to pursue the way of swordsmanship, Tianwu is a good choice."

The little junior didn't remember at all, and stared straight at him.

The senior brother stood up and patted his butt: "Tianzhi, in a word, as long as you can't die in the game, you can play to death. Except for the many competitors, it can be called perfect-see those few over there, they are all for the test Don't blame Senior Brother for not reminding you, the score line for Tianyan is second only to Tianyan every year."

"What nonsense?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind, the brother seemed to be pinched seven inches, his body froze, and he turned his head with difficulty: "Tian, ​​Tianyan Lord."

Lin Qi looked at him with a smile, and the senior brother ran away like seeing a ghost. Lin Qi turned around and looked at the little junior brother on the ground: "Silly boy, can you believe what the senior brother says if you haven't heard it?"

After he finished speaking, he walked to the door.

A voice came from inside: "Why?"

It's Xiao Tu.

The head of the Nine Sects flipped through his report and said, "Your sword is very good, you should go to Tianwu."

Xiao Tu folded his arms in a rare and unruly manner: "I am good at other things, and this reason is not valid. If you brush me down, you have to come up with a plausible reason."

Sect Leader: "A young man is arrogant!"

Xiao Tu smiled: "Who do you think I joined the Nine Sects for? For you? Don't put gold on your face, what is the Nine Sects without Tianyan Lord. Don't let me join Tianyan, right? , OK, I’m going to Dongxuan.”

He raised his sword and turned his head to leave: "Oh, by the way, the matter of you persecuting my little uncle back then, don't think that it will be over when Lord Tianyan comes back. After all, Lord Tianyan is not yours."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Qi standing at the door.

At that moment, all his arrogance before had condensed into a sheet of ice crystals on the spot, and without being moved, he scrambled to fall to the ground.Within two strokes, he was shaking upside down.

He was dumbfounded and blushed from the face to the ears.

Lin Qi glanced expressionlessly at the leaders of the various factions above him, then turned his head to look at Xiao Tu, and said softly, "What are you talking about. How many people want to join the Nine Sects but can't, you still have to leave?"

Xiao Tu bit his lip, Lin Qi patted him on the back: "Okay, go out first, I'll ask."

"Bangdang."

The door was closed.

The heads of all the sects above were extremely angry, but only one Shu Yangping seemed to let out a bad breath, grinning secretly.

This was so comforting, he deserved to be his apprentice.

Lin Qi asked, "Where is he not qualified?"

Leaders, look at me, and I will look at you.Xiao Tu was not unqualified, on the contrary, he was excellent in all indicators, far exceeding the entry requirements of the Tianyan Sect.

Then why not let him go?

He has "nightmare" on him.

Because of what happened in Meng Yangzhou, "Nightmare" has become an unmentionable thing in the Tianyan faction, and the shallow relationship between the Tianyan faction and Tianyan Lord has become even more precarious because of this.

If Xiao Tu entered Tianyan, Lin Qi would definitely protect him, and it would be too ugly to repeat the mistakes of Yangzhou.But it's different after entering Tianwu. With Tianwu Lord watching, it will not cause a catastrophe.

But the heads certainly dare not say that.

Say "We don't believe you" in front of people, and the other party is still Tianyan Lord—the heads of the sects dare not speak.

At this time, the head of the Tianxing sect who is used to meeting with Ximu said earnestly: "Mr. Tianyan, Tianwu's sword is better than Tianyan's overall. That child should enter the way of swordsmanship."

The leaders of the various factions quickly agreed.

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it."

Xiao Tu leaned against the tree, thinking of a diary on Tianyan Peak.

It doesn't count as a diary, because it's just a piece of waste paper with no beginning or end. Xiao Tu saw it from the corner while cleaning the house.

That diary was different from the ones I saw later in the mountains. The lines between the lines were depressing and very mournful.Perhaps because of this, the master set them on fire.

There are traces of smoke on the end of the paper. I don't know how it escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire—and thanks to it.

Xiao Tu used to think that Lord Tianyan was omnipotent.

It wasn't right until I got to know Lin Qi.Lord Tianyan is also a human being, he also has joys, angers, sorrows and joys, but because he is in a high position, he is not known to others.

The height is not cold.

How long has he been cold?

While he was waiting for the result, many people left one after another.

A colleague came to pull him: "Let's go and watch the fun. I heard that Lord Tianyan and Lord Tianwu are fighting!"
