The blood smeared on the fingertips, it looked extremely dazzling, and it burned Yun Shuhua so much that he wiped it off again and again.

He hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief from the front of his front, rubbed it vigorously on his blood-stained fingers, and then walked quickly to the copper basin filled with clean water to scrub it repeatedly.

Maybe it was because he just woke up, Yun Shuhua's mind was intertwined and bundled with a group of unclear thoughts, his eyes glanced at the reflection in the water, bursts of unspeakable shame surfaced in his heart.

Since entering Qingwu to practice with his master, he has always followed the Taoist lineage and practiced asceticism. Why did he wake up this morning with a surge of energy and blood, and he also had a nosebleed because of an inexplicable dream?

It's really puzzling.

A gust of cold wind blew outside the room, and the door slammed open, a young man in blue strode in with his hands in his arms, looked around, and saw that there was no one around to serve him. Then he lowered his face and said sharply: "Yun Shuhua, do you know that several domain masters are waiting for you outside? Hurry up and pack up and go with me!"

Yun Shuhua glanced at the door, saw that it was Chao Qi who was coming, and responded, "Hurry up, don't you see that I'm busy now?"

"What are you busy with? You haven't put on your uniform, and your clothes are disheveled," Chao Qishu asked in disbelief, "You just woke up, right?"

Of course it wasn't just waking up, but it didn't make any difference.

Yun Shuhua turned his back to Chaoqi and sighed: "Okay, I'll get dressed now, and I won't talk nonsense with you."

"wait!"

Chao Qi looked suspiciously at his strange movement of holding his hands in front of his chest, leaning back and walking towards the inner room, and immediately stepped to his side with lightning speed, grabbed Yun Shuhua's wrist, thinking To find out.

"You, why do you have a nosebleed?"

Shouts resounded throughout the bedroom.

Yun Shuhua's ears had a light pink color, and he shook his head while throwing him away, showing a bit of annoyance: "What's the matter, the deserted mountains and the sky are dry, so I'm not allowed to have a nosebleed?"

"Ahem," Chao Qi paused, "That's not what it means. However, for those who enter the Five Realms of the Immortal Mountain, the blood flow in the body is the foundation. Seeing that your cultivation is not low, why does this happen? It’s really unbelievable.”

These words were full of probing meanings. Looking at Chao Qi's serious thinking expression, Yun Shuhua felt that his clothes were being pulled away layer by layer, and he felt even more embarrassed: "What's the matter? People... always... For a day or two, your energy and blood surged, and your concern may have been overdone."

Hearing the word caring, Chaoqi's expression froze, and he said uncomfortably: "I don't care about you. The ancestors of the Chao family had world-famous medical immortals. It is a family tradition to study medicine. I just saw symptoms like yours. I can’t help but think about pulse number one.”

"You still know the pulse?" Yun Shuhua smiled, put his hand in front of Chaoqi, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then please show me the doctor Chao, what kind of incurable disease am I?"

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, what if something goes wrong with your body."

Chao Qi glared at him, then stretched out three fingers, gently stroked Yun Shuhua's pulse, and paused for a moment.

There was indeed no problem, but I could vaguely feel some strange power stirring in the young man's body. After sensing the temptation of external magic power, he was not allowed to go any further.

This kind of power seems to have no hostility towards Yun Shuhua.

Chao Qi was relieved, and told him: "There is no major problem, but you must also pay attention. If this happens again next time, you must come to me."

Yun Shuhua persuaded him to rest assured, and after talking for a long time before inviting him out, he hurriedly put on the last few layers of undressed crown clothes and rushed to the back mountain.

Follow the attendants on the slightly damaged bluestone slab path, the snake vine patterns drilled on it have long been blurred after years of wind and sun.Yun Shuhua lowered his head and looked a few more times, and the image of the ghost vine in the dream popped out of his mind again.

After crossing the Tongtian Floating Pagoda in the back mountain, a huge stone forest surrounds the arc-shaped military training ground. Several giant pillars with carvings that can only be surrounded by seven or eight people stand in all directions, and one of them hangs in the air. , a few wisps of green smoke pieced together to form a melting hood floating above.

As soon as he entered this place, all the thoughts that floated in his mind disappeared, Yun Shuhua straightened his back, his eyes looked over the uneven stone forest to the center of the training ground.

The disciples from all regions were neatly dressed and waited in front of the training ground, bowing their heads respectfully, waiting for Xianzong to give orders.

Yun Shuhua brushed his robe, flattened the folds little by little, and after gesturing to go into the crowd, the servant behind him anxiously called him: "Uncle Yun, some domain masters are waiting for you on the Tongtian floating pagoda. Please move."

"Tiantian Floating Pagoda?" Yun Shuhua turned around, and then came back to his senses, "It turned out that I went wrong, please show me the way."

The attendant led him straight across the training ground, and stopped in front of a huge bronze gate with the head of a python.

Yun Shuhua looked up, and the octagonal eaves with beads in the beast's mouth rushed towards the sky on the blue bricks and tiles like waves. of depression.

"Shen Xianzong and the other three domain masters are waiting for you on the second-story tower, please ask Master Yun to move."

"It's work."

Yun Shuhua lifted his hem and walked up the winding stone steps. The candles hanging on the wall flickered with his steps. As he walked up, his sight gradually widened.

"Look who's here."

Shen Tangli's voice sounded.

"Since Shuhua has arrived, Lord Xianzong can announce the start of the competition."

Yun Shuhua bowed his body, and said guiltily to the people on the viewing platform: "This junior is late, I am here to apologize to all the domain masters."

"It's okay, just come here," Shen Tangli said in a warm voice, "Shuhua, take your seat quickly, there is no need to salute."

Yun Shuhua nodded, and walked to the viewing platform, only to find that among the five jade-inlaid sandalwood chairs, the second one from south to north happened to be vacant.

On one side is the disciple of the Southern Region who came to sit in the township on behalf of the domain master, and on the other side is Shen Tangli.

Five people stood on the high platform, staring at the dark people below.Yun Shuhua couldn't see the faces of each of them clearly, but felt that someone in the crowd was staring at him.

When he looked down carefully, the line of sight seemed to disappear again.

Yun Shuhua withdrew his eyes, and was looking around the first row of disciples, and happened to meet the eyes of the purple-clothed boy in the crowd.

Jiang Shuwan wore a light and neat uniform and a pair of short black leather boots. From a distance, he looked very energetic, like a serious nobleman from a noble family, much more relaxed than before in Yuxiao Palace.

Yun Shuhua smiled at him from afar, the smile was not obvious, but it was enough for Jiang Shuwan to see clearly.

When he was seated, he tripped over something, his heart suffocated, and he almost fell down in front of countless disciples.

At this moment, a pair of steady and strong hands supported Yun Shuhua, preventing him from making a fool of himself in public.

Distant and concerned words rang in my ears.

"Uncle Yun, be careful."

Yun Shuhua turned his head to look, but saw that the young disciple from Nanyu was supporting him.

"There is no carpet here, so it's easy to slip and fall, but since I'm sitting in this seat for Dongyu, I need to pay more attention, don't let people get caught."

"Thank you." Yun Shuhua hastily concealed his shaky figure, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

After taking his seat, he realized that there was no stumbling object on the masonry floor, and he just accidentally stepped on the corner of Weidi's clothes.

Well, it's a bit embarrassing indeed.

This can't be blamed on him, it's really that the crown clothes worn today are a bit cumbersome, not to mention that the heavy silk bottom robe is not as comfortable as the usual close-fitting cotton clothes, but the inner court skirt is just as comfortable. It has made it difficult for people to walk.

Yun Shuhua's outer robe was covered with red cranes in blue and vermilion, and two oriental beads were adorned on each cuff. Patterns outlined by gold threads were embroidered on the neckline.

After all, he is a 17-year-old boy, and he has not yet performed the coronation ceremony, so naturally he cannot put all the costumes prepared in previous years' competitions on him.So today he put his long hair on the back of his head, with a fiery red Suzaku ablaze on top of it, which is very heavy in his hand, and when he put it on the back of his head, the roots of his hair ached.

Looking at the other domain masters, they are all in the same format, sitting upright with a happy expression.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With the sound of drums beating, the orders for the competition on the military field were resounding.The five people on the viewing platform all turned their attention to the group of teenagers in the stone forest who were ready to go.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Yun Shuhua quietly picked up the silver cup on the low table in front of him and poured it down his throat to quench his thirst.

The burning pain flows down the throat into the stomach and abdomen, and the hot sweat wets the back in an instant.

It turned out to be wine!

Yun Shuhua slandered in his heart, trying to hold back the urge to cough dryly, his fair face turned red from holding back.

"Hahaha... This little disciple from the Eastern Region, I'm afraid he hasn't had a drink before?"

A playful laugh came from the opposite side, and the master of the Northern Territory was sitting on the opposite side not far from Yun Shuhua, raised his glass to him with both hands, and then drank it neatly.

The eyes of everyone present returned to Yun Shuhua again.

"I made you laugh."

Yun Shuhua's throat was itchy, and his tone of voice was a little low and hoarse.

I thought it was just a small episode, but after everyone turned their heads away, Shi Qiang didn't look away.

He stared straight at Yun Shuhua, his eyes filled with dark swirls, stained with lust.

The young man was tightly covered by the crown clothes, and the fine sweat from his temples rolled into the high collar with his movements, making it difficult for people to see the spring light inside.

Shi Qiang drank the wine in the glass, and suddenly felt that the wine was bland and tasteless compared with that young man.

Jing Fan's eyes were vicious, and he did not know where to fish out such an amazingly beautiful young apprentice, with affectionate eyes, pink cheeks, red lips and white teeth.Not only that, but the golden belt outlines his thin waist, under the gorgeous knees, the slender legs can be vaguely discerned.

Recalling the way the young man spoke convincingly to him in front of Jing Fan that day, now that he has no reliance to rely on, he has become obedient again.

Like a wild kitten without an owner.

Shi Qiang squinted his eyes and peeped at him without hesitation.

Don't worry, sooner or later he will be subdued, and the sharp thorns on his body will be pulled out little by little.
