5, the darkness falls

At night, Chai Mansion.

Chai Rong's supper was tasteless.

After not seeing each other for just a few months, my father and elder brother died of misfortune, and they still have to endure the attack.

The only thing that was thankful was that my mother returned to her parents' home and escaped. After asking the servants in the mansion, it was basically certain that Yan Li was the one who colluded with Li Xiangjun.

During the day, he tried various methods to test it, but he was unable to ask the "Second Mr." from the ghost hand. He was only warned, don't mess with him.

After dinner, he took a look at the time when the ghost hand left and said to Gong Yanjun: "Junior brother, I have something to say to you, come with me."

Gong Yanjun followed him and came to a secluded place. Chai Rong said, "You are here in Qingyaji. In addition to helping me find out the murderer, there is another purpose, right?"

Gong Yanjun said: "It's my senior brother who knows me."

Chai Rong smiled faintly and said, "Li Xiangjun."

Gong Yanjun laughed and said, "Li Xiangjun is worthy of being the number one beauty in Bingzhou. She looks and looks and looks, I really don't know how happy it will be to press under her."

He gritted his teeth and said, "But you have seen it too. Ghost Hand won't let me provoke that person. When you get the quota tomorrow, we have to go back to Lin'an. Damn it, I can't see it but not eat it, so I feel so uncomfortable. Oh, no, let's go to Cuiyanlou secretly tonight?"

Chai Rong's eyes flashed and he said, "Don't go tonight, but I have a plan. As long as you listen to me, you can always have her and play with her whatever you want."

Gong Yanjun thought of that scene, her lower abdomen was hot and she couldn't bear itch, so she hurriedly pulled him and asked, "Tell me quickly!"

"Come here with your ears." Chai Rong said.

Gong Yanjun hurriedly walked over.

Chai Rong said in his ear.

Gong Yanjun's eyes lit up first, then frowned and said, "But, Ghost Hand would never agree to me."

Chai Rong said lightly: "When I take the exam tomorrow, you will use the excuse of traveling in the city and send him to me."

"This..." Gong Yanjun was still hesitant.

Chai Rong's eyes were cold and he said, "If you are worried that Yan Li is asking for trouble for the Gong family, there is no need to do so. He will not be able to leave the exam room tomorrow!"

"Are you sure?" Gong Yanjun opened her eyes wide.

Chai Rong sneered: "The second round of the assessment is 'contemplation'. His cultivation level will not exceed the fifth grade. I bribed those candidates with great strength a long time ago. What would happen if we joined forces?"

Gong Yanjun was overjoyed and said, "Senior Brother is indeed completely unscrupulous, so I'll ask you for everything!"

...

The next day, Yan Li got up early and after washing up, a maid came and said that the owner of Qingtengyuan had invited him.

Yan Li walked over slowly and sighed, "You said we eat, drink, live here for free, and receive courtesans. Is this considered a life for a god?"

The burly man thought about it carefully and said, "No."

The maid secretly gave the two a blank look, thinking Yan Li was a little handsome guy in her heart, and she forgot that she cried so hard that she heard Yan Li's piano sound the night before yesterday.

Yan Li glanced at the burly man and said, "I know, you have always wanted to open a restaurant. We will set off today after getting the quota. You can go to Yongling."

"Really?" The burly man's face, whose face had not changed much, was actually a little excited.

Yan Li said lightly: "You are too conspicuous and I'm not easy to do. But don't expect me to pay, I'm gone without a penny."

After hearing this, the maid looked despised.

The burly man smiled rarely and said, "I have it."

When I arrived at Qingtengyuan, I saw Li Xiangjun coming up with a smile and said, "I have prepared breakfast for you, and I will go after eating."

Yan Li's eyes lit up, and she saw that she was wearing a blue and white trouser today. Her snow-white skirt was just about to drag the ground, and the small golden lotus was faintly visible and wrapped in a pair of round-headed embroidered shoes with light makeup. She became more and more beautiful. Her eyes and eyebrows were curved, like a lingering smile. The three thousand black hairs that were separated from a pearl flower poured down like a waterfall. Two strands were spread out, draped on her shoulders, and gently pressed on both sides of the peaks, adding a bit of tenderness.

"I'm dressed so beautifully, can you go and meet my lover?" Yan Li sat down with a teasing look.

The breakfast is hot porridge with a few exquisite side dishes, which makes people feel very enjoyable.

He was not polite either, so he picked up the dishes and started eating.

Li Xiangjun called the burly man to sit down and gave him a blank look: "I can't block your mouth."

Yan Li smiled at her, then turned his head and looked at her, and suddenly he was stunned. In the study, the place where "Ghosts and Gods" hung yesterday was empty, and she thought it was put away by her.

Are you afraid that you will get sick again?

Looking closely at her eyes, she looked as if nothing had happened.

Yan Li bent the corner of his mouth and said, "It's so strange. He was there yesterday, why did he disappear today?"

Li Xiangjun said lightly: "If you are talking about that painting, I'll give it to someone. Have you finished eating? After the meal, hurry up and go to the county government office. After the time limit, you won't let you enter the exam room. Don't come to me again."

Yan Li stood up and said, "Don't you go with me?"

Li Xiangjun frowned and said, "Mom said that there is a distinguished guest visiting today, and I cannot leave. Besides, our transaction has been over. Whether or not we can get a quota is your own business. Don't come to me again."

Yan Li's eyes were full of smiles and said, "That's not possible. I forgot what I said yesterday? Just wait for me to come back here."

"Who is waiting for you!" Li Xiangjun's pretty face turned slightly red.

The maid was stunned. She had never seen Li Xiangjun show such a young daughter expression in front of anyone. It was so beautiful that she was blushing even as a woman.

When Yan Li walked out of the gate of Cuiyan Building, Li Xiangjun's special coachman was already waiting.

He had no sense of "faced" at all. He got into the car under the naked contemptuous gaze of the coachman. When he arrived at the county government office, it happened to be the hour.

There is only one quota, but there are thirty or forty.

The most basic qualification for the assessment is to awaken the real name. Once you have passed the age of twenty and have not awakened the real name, you can basically determine that the qualification is inferior and it is not worth the effort to cultivate it.

The assessment is divided into two sessions, the first session is a literary test. The literary test is very simple, which is to write down the "On Strategy".

There are three popular works in China, which have a profound impact on the dynasty and even the surrounding foreign races. "On Strategy" is one of them. It is written by the most wise and knowledgeable Emperor Ling in history. It has a wide range of knowledge and is most praised for its examination, officialdom, governance, peace, and planning.

Examination is an examination; an official is an official; governance is governance; peace is balance; planning is power and strategy.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, just remember every word and don’t make mistakes.

Although Yan Li is not a well-educated person, he can't defeat him by writing dictation.

It took more than an hour to write, half an hour to review, and two hours later, the first game ended.

But there are only six people who can enter the next game.

Yan Li knew that most people were not unable to write it out, but had written wrong words, which meant that they were not focused enough, which was a taboo for practitioners.

Lunch was used simply in the county government office. At about noon, County Magistrate Fang finally showed up and said some encouragement to the eliminated candidates, and then brought Yan Li and other candidates who passed the test to the school.

Yan Li found that the other five were looking at him without any appearance. One of them was Mr. Chai Er, but they all carefully hid their eyes.

Ghost Hand also entered the schoolyard, and he was also observing Yan Li.

The magistrate Fang took to Xuanyuan Platform, and the face of Daping was much more solemn. "As we all know, more than 200 years ago, the dynasty was facing the disaster of alien races and was in danger. In the third year of Chen Ping, Emperor Wu drastically abolished the two religions and scientific research, founded the academy, and practitioners reappeared in the land of China. This is an opportunity, yours. As the people of the Daxia Dynasty, no matter who the winner is the final winner, I hope you will remember the spirit of Emperor Wu. Let’s stop talking, and start preparing for the second round of the assessment!"

Six men came on stage one after another, and six cushions were placed, forming a circle, each sitting around.

Sitting on the cushion, Yan Li found that the eyes of the five people were no longer hiding, and they were full of malice. At first, he thought that competition was inevitable, but it turned out that there was a premeditation.

A cold curve rose slightly at the corner of his mouth.

The second phase verifies the candidate's ability to "contemplate and visualize". Contemplation is the most basic ability of a practitioner. After the real name awakens, he will naturally sink into this state and try to seize the vitality of heaven and earth, either exercise the body, or store it in the body for the purpose of using it against the enemy.

However, if the two practitioners who are thinking are too close to each other and the amount of heaven and earth energy in a small range is limited, it will lead to the real names of both parties being revealed in the world and compete on the spot. The failure side will be at the least, the real name will be broken, and at the worst, the death will be lost.

Therefore, this test is very dangerous. The candidates also signed a life-and-death case in advance, indicating that they are willing to live and die.

Chai Rong sat opposite Yan Li and said lightly: "Don't think I don't know. Your cultivation level will not exceed the fifth grade at most. If you kill my father and elder brother, you will be kind enough to let you live for one more day."

Yan Li raised his eyebrows, but the other party said it right. His cultivation level is the sixth-grade warrior, one rank lower than Chai Rong.

"I am really touched by your kindness," he said lazily, "to thank you, I will send you to see them for free."

A hint of green air flashed across Chai Rong's face, and then he sneered: "I forgot to tell you that Li Xiangjun was redeemed, and now I'm afraid he has arrived in Lin'an."

Yan Li frowned and said nothing.

Seeing that the candidates were all ready, County Magistrate Fang immediately said, "I announce that the visualization begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a phantom of a fire crow rose from Chai Rong.

Of course, it was just an illusion. Even so, the magistrate Fang and other officers and soldiers still widened their eyes.

"The energy is intertwined, and the real name is first revealed. It turns out that it is a fifth-class small heavenly clan," the ghost hand flickered, "No wonder he was taken as a disciple by his master."

The more top the real name is, the more unimaginable the height it can reach. Among the three categories of real name, Dharma appearance is the most common one, divided into seven levels. Don’t underestimate the fifth-class small heavenly beings. Only one out of ten thousand practitioners will be produced. It has been rare for Qingya Ji to produce a fifth-class one in a century.

So everyone was stunned, and County Magistrate Fang was even more overjoyed. The county gave a fifth-class real name, which could be said to have added a lot of money to the performance appraisal. At that time, as long as the academy verification is true, I will be expected to be promoted!

At this time, the rest of the people also released their real names, all of which are similar to Dharma, but they don’t even have a meager energy, and they can’t even rank seventh-class or human beings. They are just the most common astrological signs.

Apart from Chai Rong, these people are already the most outstanding practitioners of Qingya Ji, but they don’t even have a seventh-class real name, and the fifth-class rareness can be seen.

As if they were colluding, they both grabbed Yan Li's vital energy, which was a stance that even his real name could not be revealed.

Everyone's eyes were naturally focused on Yan Li. But he still closed his eyes, as if he was trying to visualize.

"Although it's the son of that master, this qualification is really not good."

A strong disdain flashed in the Ghost Hand's eyes. Although the real name is illusory, it is extremely proud. The more it is the top real name, the more it cannot stand the provocation. If Yan Li had the top real name on him, he would have jumped out by himself.

County Magistrate Fang shook his head regretfully, obviously thinking that Yan Li was sure to lose.

Feeling the eyes of the people around him becoming awe, Chai Rong's depression in the past two days was wiped out. He sneered and observed Yan Li, who was still trying to visualize, and suddenly felt a sense of pleasure of understanding the overall situation and mastering it.

At this moment, Yan Li suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of extremely strong ashes flashed deep in his eyes.

Then, darkness descended.
