After Long Qing was carried down the mountain, Prince Chongming of the Yan Kingdom sent someone to take care of him. Ye Hongyu, the chief minister of the Adjudication Department of the Xiling Temple, stayed with him until Long Qing regained consciousness.
Ye Hongyu accompanied Long Qing to Chang'an to participate in the second-floor assessment this time. It was not because of their good personal relationship. Ye Hongyu just wanted to challenge the masters of the academy and join Long Qing on the way.
As a famous master of the younger generation and one of the Three Idiots in the World, Ye Hongyu's persistence in improving his strength far exceeds that of anyone else.
Previously, when the Academy had a ruler across Taoshan, Ye Hongyu wanted to see the academy's Taoism.
It happened that Long Qingkao was on the second floor, and the Xiling Temple sent people to support him, so Ye Hongyu volunteered to follow him.
Speaking of which, Ye Hongyu has a special status in Xiling Temple, and even the headmaster Xiong Chumo has no control over her.
Ye Hongyu was born in Zhishouguan, an unknown place of Taoism. His biological brother is "Ye Su" who is walking around the world in Zhishouguan today.
The reason why she entered the Xiling Temple was related to Chen Pipi, the Master's twelfth disciple.
Chen Pipi is the only son of Chen, the master of Zhishou Temple. When he was young, Ye Hongyu wanted his brother to inherit the position of temple master, so he used a trick to seduce Chen Pipi away, which instead prompted Chen Pipi to become a disciple of the master.
This incident made Ye Su furious, and he gave his sister a lesson and even kicked her out of Zhishou Temple. Only then did Ye Hongyu enter the Xiling Temple.
Ye Hongyu was nicknamed Taoist Madman. She was obsessed with Taoism and practiced hard and diligently. Xiling Temple collected a large number of Taoist secrets, which was exactly what she wanted.
However, since her cultivation reached the realm of knowing destiny, Ye Hongyu found that her strength began to stagnate. In the Xiling Temple, except for the headmaster and the three great priests, she had no rivals.
Ye Hongyu was not satisfied, she wanted to become stronger.
On the day when Wang Gang pressed a ruler across Taoshan, Ye Hongyu was suppressed by the tyrannical power of thought, unable to move or even resist. But afterwards, she was surprised to find that the bottleneck that had trapped her for many years was slightly loosened.
It was this discovery that prompted Ye Hongyu to come to Chang'an.
Ye Hongyu also watched the exam on the second floor. She didn't feel anything at first, but when Ning Que came from behind and Long Qing passed out for no reason and missed the first place, Ye Hongyu realized something was wrong.
Long Qing had clearly been ahead of everyone before, but when he reached the top of the mountain, he was suddenly blocked by a fog formation, and then fainted for no apparent reason. All signs were abnormal.
Later, after Long Qing regained consciousness, he told Ye Hongyu and Chongming about his experience during the exam, and Ye Hongyu's feelings became more obvious.
"Your cultivation level is obviously much higher than that of Ning Que. Why is it that Ning Que is not affected by the illusion, but you are unconscious for a full hour."
"Then Ning Que is originally a disciple of the academy. Could it be that in the assessment on the second floor, the master's direct disciple was simply determined by default."
The more Long Qing thought about it, the angrier he became, so he and Ye Hongyu came to the academy to find out.
Prince Chongming felt that something was wrong. The academy had a transcendent status in the Tang Dynasty, and the third prince of the current Tang Dynasty did not pass the second-level examination. It seemed unjustifiable to say that he was cheating.
However, Ye Hongyu and Long Qing were deeply prejudiced and could not listen to Chongming's advice. They still came to the academy to question, even had conflicts with the academy teachers, and finally took action.
After actually getting started, Ye Hongyu discovered that the strength of the instructors in the academy was very average. Even the instructors in the fate-knowing realm could not stop her with a sword.
"The academy has gained a false reputation."
The more Ye Hongyu fought, the more frustrated she became. Her hand became three points heavier, and many students were injured by her.
These lessons are also unlucky. I usually stay in the academy to study, and I don't understand the way of killing at all. Although my level is high, actual combat is very difficult.
This is also related to the concept of the academy.
When Confucius founded the academy, he adhered to the idea of education without distinction, and wanted to cultivate talents in various aspects for the Tang Dynasty. It was not a military academy for practitioners.
Those in the academy are better at teaching and educating people, and fighting is really not their strong point.
Of course, the academy is not without people who are good at fighting, but it happened that they were escorting Li Hunyuan and Li Yu.
When Wang just arrived, he found Ye Hongyu beating the academy teacher wantonly. He was furious and threw out his ruler.
The ruler turned into a stream of light, crossed the space, and hit Ye Hongyu's iron sword hard.
Bang.
The long sword was broken into two sections. Ye Hongyu grunted and took three steps back involuntarily. His originally rosy face instantly turned pale, but his eyes were bright.
"Is the Xiling Temple really deceiving me that there is no one in the academy?" Wang Gang flew to stand in front of the teachers, and his huge mental power turned into invisible pressure, covering Ye Hongyu and Long Qing.
"Huh, the academy is unfair. They secretly sent Ning Que to the second floor. I, Ye Hongyu, don't accept it."
Ye Hongyu's eyes were red, and with strong unwillingness, he sacrificed his life as a flying fish.
The natal object is when a practitioner reaches the state of non-confusion and resonates with a certain object through the power of thought, making it become his or her natal object.
The role of the natal object is to help practitioners more easily perceive the vitality of heaven and earth. There is no limit to the choice of natal objects. As long as the practitioner has the strongest intention for a certain item, he can choose that item as his own natal object. The natal object can be a weapon.
, tools, and even people.
Wang Gang's natal object was a ruler, and Ye Hongyu's natal object was a fish.
The most interesting thing is Chen Pipi. The natal thing he chose is his own fat, so he has always been so fat.
Wang Gang's ruler is special. It is not only heavy but also very strong. It has a first-class feel when hitting people. Ye Hongyu learned it twice and did not dare to underestimate it.
"Ye Hongyu, this is not your Xiling Temple. If you dare to mess around again, don't blame me for not showing mercy to the temple master." Wang Gang took back his ruler and said to Ye Hongyu seriously.
"Master has always said that there is no distinction between education and distinction, but your academy privately grants and accepts the places on the second floor. Are all people in the Tang Dynasty so hypocritical?" Ye Hongyu said in a strange tone.
Wang Gang had a straight face and asked: "You said that our academy secretly communicates with each other, do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, you are talking nonsense and slandering the academy. The crime is not small. Even if you were born Zhi Shou Guan, you are also the chief minister of Xiling Temple.
, does not mean that you can slander the academy wantonly."
Ye Hongyu pointed at Long Qing and said: "Long Qing has always been ranked first in the previous exams, but he fell at the last level for no reason, leaving Ning Que to catch up. Isn't this the work of your academy?
?If the Academy does not give a reasonable explanation today, it may be difficult for everyone to stop talking!"
Wang Gang looked at Long Qing and said disdainfully: "Long Qing's will is weak and he fell into an illusion and couldn't extricate himself. It is entirely his own fault that he failed to pass the second-floor exam.
?Besides, why should my academy be accountable to the world?"
Ye Hongyu said confidently: "Long Qing fell into an illusion. Then why did Ning Que not fall into an illusion? I can see carefully. After Ning Que climbed to the top of the mountain, a green light flashed from the jade pendant around his waist. Isn't it the magic weapon you gave him beforehand?"
Wang Gang said calmly: "Ye Hongyu, since you question the illusion of the academy, then go and experience it yourself!"
After saying that, Wang Gang waved his robe, and eight sword energy enveloped Ye Hongyu, turning into a large formation.
Although Ye Hongyu was on full alert, he still fell into it and could not avoid Wang Gang's methods at all.
"Mr. Wang, wait a minute, let's talk carefully." A man's voice came from behind Ye Hongyu, but it was not Long Qing.
A man wearing a green Taoist robe, a stubble on his face, a wooden sword on his back, and a simple temperament appeared from behind Ye Hongyu.
"Zhi Shou Guan walks in the contemporary world, Ye Su." Wang Gang glanced at the man and asked.
"Do you know Mr. Wang?" the man asked curiously.
"Your name is too big to suppress, so change it!" Wang Zheng suggested thoughtfully.
