After hearing Fang Liren's words, Liang Yan couldn't help but show a hint of wonder in his eyes, and he praised:
"The city is hidden in the mountains, and the mountains are hidden in the clouds. It stretches for thousands of miles, and you don't know where it ends! The unparalleled city is truly amazing and amazing!"
"Haha, brother Liang said it well! Wushuang City was one of the earliest cultivation forces established in Antarctic Immortal Continent. It has been passed down for who knows how many years. Its foundation is so profound that ordinary rising stars cannot compare!"
When Fang Liren said this, his face was full of pride, and it was obvious that he had the utmost respect for Wushuang City.
Naturally, Liang Yan would not have such a deep sense of belonging. His words of praise just now were just an eye-opener for how majestic and majestic this place was.
So he just smiled softly, nodded, and said nothing more.
At this time, Song Ru was heard to speak again: "There is a questioning heart formation in Wushuang City. Liang Yan, you must follow us closely and never leave ten feet away!"
"Questioning Heart Formation?"
Liang Yan was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked towards the Wushuang City in the clouds on the mountain peak, only to see that the surrounding area was covered with snow and there was no trace of the formation at all.
Although he was extremely confused in his heart, since it was Song Ru who said this, she would never speak nonsense. She must have a reason.
"Junior understands!"
Liang Yan nodded lightly, followed Song Ru closely with the escaping light, and flew into the air with Fang Liren and Buwen Jushi.
The four people were walking side by side, and were about to fly to the white cloud-capped mountain peak, when ripples like water suddenly appeared in mid-air, and then a bright and clear power burst out from above their heads, covering Liang Yan completely.
People are enveloped in it.
A majestic voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of my heart:
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Liang Yan felt his whole body stiffen, and then an invisible pressure came from all directions. Someone actually asked questions directly in his heart!
"I"
Liang Yan's mouth was dry and he was sweating profusely. He was confused for a moment and felt an urge in his heart to reveal everything he had hidden.
At this moment, Song Ru suddenly took out a light blue token from her sleeve and waved it gently in the air. Immediately, a circle of blue light spread out, covering the four people nearby, including Liang Yan.
They were all involved.
"Concentrate calmly, hug Yuan Shouyi, and don't pay attention to those problems." Song Ru's faint voice came from mid-air.
After being enveloped by the blue light, Liang Yan felt a chill all over his body. The dry mouth and restless feeling he had just felt immediately dissipated for the most part. After hearing Song Ru's voice again, he completely woke up.
Only then did Liang Yan know what the "Xinxin Formation" was!
"This formation can actually calm the soul, just ask your heart!"
Liang Yan was extremely surprised. He, who already had a good knowledge of battle tactics, couldn't help but look around.
However, when he looked around, he found that except for the little space ripples just now, there was no trace of the formation at all.
Song Ru seemed to have understood what he was thinking, she smiled slightly and said:
"No need to look for it. Most of the monks who came to Wushuang City for the first time are like you. They feel that there is no formation guarding the outside of the city. In fact, this 'Questioning Heart Formation' is made up of a magic weapon that has been refined. The city
There are no array devices at all outside, so it is impossible for you to find traces of the array."
"There is such a thing!"
Although Liang Yan remained calm on the surface, he was actually a little scared in his heart.
After all, there are quite a lot of secrets in his body. If he revealed everything without any reservation in front of the public, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You don't have to worry too much. This 'Heart-Questioning Formation' is only set up for monks who break into Wushuang City without anyone's recommendation."
Fang Liren on the side laughed and said: "After all, Wushuang City is not as closed as the monk sect. There are also monks from the north and south in the city, and there are merchants' associations. If everyone who enters the city has to be interrogated about their secrets, then no one will be willing to come to Wushuang City.
, there would not be such a prosperous scene.”
"That's right." Song Ru nodded and said: "If you formally enter the city, you will not be interrogated by the 'Questioning Heart Formation'. However, the procedure is too cumbersome. I have the city's disciple order in hand and can help
You are exempted from interrogation by the 'Heart-Questioning Formation' and will take you directly into the city."
"I see."
Liang Yan looked at the blue light curtain around him and didn't want to say anything more for the moment. He just followed Song Ru and others silently and flew into Wushuang City with their escape light.
Several people passed through a colorful mist and finally landed on a long street.
These streets are built between the mountain peaks. You can see the end of them at a glance, but they are hundreds of miles long. They crisscross each other like a sky net in the clouds.
There are various shops, alchemy rooms, refining rooms, and even quiet rooms for practice on both sides of the street, specially provided for monks who stay temporarily.
Song Ru was impatient. After the three of them landed, she turned around and ordered Fang Liren and Buwen:
"I want to go back to Bihai Palace to report the mission of this trip to Master first. Liang Yan will be left to you two. Well, you take my token and take him to the 'Tianxing Academy' to stay temporarily for a while."
"I will obey the instructions of my senior!"
Fang Liren and Buwen Jushi stretched out their hands to take Song Ru's token, and at the same time raised their hands in response.
"Um!"
Song Ru nodded slightly, then pinched the magic formula in her hand, and her whole body turned into a ray of light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the depths of the white mist in an instant.
"Tianxing Academy? Where is that place?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
Fang Liren chuckled and said: "Tianxing Academy is on the outskirts of Wushuang City, and together with the other nine academies, it is the temporary residence of the monks participating in the selection and assessment. Only after the selection is over, Wushuang City will allocate private caves to the selected people.
.”
"Understood."
Liang Yan nodded, understanding in his heart.
Strictly speaking, he is not a monk in Wushuang City yet. Although he is recommended by Song Ru and Fang Liren, he cannot break the rules of the city and can only temporarily live in Tianxing Academy.
"It's getting late. Let's take you to Tianxing Academy first. After settling you in, we both have to go back and recover."
"Okay, please ask the two fellow Taoists to lead the way!" Liang Yan said, bowing his hands very politely.
In the following time, the three of them stopped talking, and Fang Liren and Buwen Jushi led the way. They quickly passed through more than ten hills outside Wushuang City and arrived at a slightly low mountain peak.
This mountain peak is hidden under the clouds. The top of the mountain is covered with various spiritual flowers and grasses, and it is a scene of colorful fallen flowers and the fragrance of birds and flowers.
Liang Yanning looked carefully and saw a section of vermilion wall looming among the green willows and red flowers. There was a gate in the middle of the wall, which had been opened at this time. There was also a plaque hanging on it, which read "Tianxing Academy".
A big character.
"arrive!"
Liang Yan followed Fang Liren and turned down the escape light, stopped at the entrance of the academy, then raised his eyes and looked forward.
I saw a little book boy lying on a piece of bluestone at the door. He was holding a book in his hand and was looking at it with joy.
"Ahem!"
It wasn't until Fang Liren coughed lightly that the little book boy woke up as if from a dream. For some reason, his face turned red, and he hurriedly put the book back into his sleeve, looking a little embarrassed.
"I've seen Senior Brother Fang!" the little book boy said in a panic, cupping his hands and bowing.
"Hmph! Jiang Ming, you are not a good student in cultivation, so what nonsense are you reading?" Fang Liren had a serious expression on his face, as if he was very unhappy.
"Reporting back to senior brother, yes."
The little book boy stammered, but before he could finish speaking, a voice from the yard shouted:
"It's my 'Hundred Spring Book'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old Confucian wearing a brown robe and a scribe's scarf walked out of the courtyard.
Although this man is over sixty years old, his eyes are bright and lively. He is also very well-dressed. There is an emerald green flute at his waist. The beard three inches long under his forehead seems to have been carefully trimmed. At this time, his clothes are flowing.
Gone with the wind, she actually looks like an old man.
"Uncle Nan!"
When Fang Liren heard the voice before, a look of helplessness immediately appeared on his face. Now that he saw me coming out, he even smiled bitterly.
"So it turns out you are here, and you are not afraid of teaching Jiang Ming a bad lesson!" Fang Liren sighed.
"nonsense!"
The old man in Confucian robes glared and shouted: "Yin and Yang complement each other, and the two instruments complement each other. This is the way of heaven! You are a stupid boy. You have spent hundreds of years of practice in vain, but you don't know the beauty of the harp and the harp.
, It’s really a failure! Now I have to train my disciples step by step, how can I allow you to point fingers? "
What he said was so righteous that Liang Yan next to him was stunned for a long time. It took him a long time to react, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Fang Liren seemed to know the old man's temper. At this time, he could only lower his head and admit his mistake: "I am shallow, please calm down, uncle."
"snort!"
The old man in Confucian robes snorted coldly, raised his hand and twirled his beard under his forehead, and suddenly smiled and said: "This 'Hundred Spring Book' has cost me a lot of effort, and I have listed all the beautiful fairies in the Antarctic Fairy Continent.
, all the people who can be on the list are of unrivaled splendor and beauty that will captivate the country! Most of these fairies, I’m afraid you, the kid, will never see in your lifetime!”
The old man turned his face faster than turning the page in a book. He was still angry a moment ago, but now he was elated again. He seemed to admire his "Hundred Spring Book" very much in his words. Liang Yan even saw it on his face.
There was a hint of the wretchedness of the market, which was really a bit jaw-dropping.
You must know that the cultivation level of the person in front of you is a genuine late-stage Tongxuan realm!
"this"
Fang Liren was extremely embarrassed. He had a bold personality but also paid attention to etiquette. At this time, facing such a weird uncle, he really didn't know how to respond.
In the end, Layman Wuwen broke the awkward situation. He took a step forward and said expressionlessly: "Senior Qi Nan, we are here today on the order of Senior Song to send a monk who is participating in the selection into the city.
Come and stay.”
"oh?"
The old man in Confucian robes raised his eyebrows and laid his eyes on Liang Yan for the first time. After looking at him carefully, he said calmly: "Is this the person? He looks just ordinary, so what?
Can I get Song Ru’s recommendation?”
He spoke without any emotion, and Fang Liren's face became even more embarrassed, but Liang Yan was indifferent, and there was no change in his face at all.
In fact, the reaction of the old man in Confucian robes was exactly what Liang Yan wanted.
On the surface, he is just a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. If the old man in Confucian robes jumped up and pointed at him and said, "This guy is anything but simple!", that would be the situation he was most afraid of.
The old man has no interest in him at all, which just shows that with his current cultivation level and the cover of the Tianji Pearl, even the monks in the late Tongxuan realm cannot see through his reality.
"Oh, this little girl Song Ru has been out on missions for many years, and she thought she brought back a piece of talented and beautiful jade. But she doesn't know what kind of little monsters are participating in this assessment and selection! With this kid in the middle stage of Golden Core
With his strength, I think it can only be used as a foil."
The old man in Confucian robes shook his head as he spoke, and there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Liang Yan, as if he was saying, "You are really unlucky this time!"
"monster?"
Fang Liren was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Isn't it easy for everyone who comes to participate in the city selection this time?"
"That's not true!"
The old man in Confucian robes stretched out his hand and yawned, looking like he was not interested and didn't want to talk more.
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. If you want to sign up for the assessment, just follow Jiang Ming. He will take you to register."
After he said this, he no longer looked at Liang Yan and the others. He raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and his whole body turned into a long rainbow and disappeared into the clouds in mid-air on the top of the mountain.
"Senior Brother Fang, you two seniors, come with me."
The little book boy had already rolled down from the bluestone and bowed respectfully to several people.
"Lead the way."
Fang Liren sighed softly. What the old man in Confucian robes said just now clearly made him a little worried.
"Sigh, there are so many strong players in this selection and assessment. With Brother Liang's strength in the middle stage of Jindan, it may be difficult to advance. I just hope that the ranking will not be too low, otherwise even if Senior Song comes forward, it will be difficult to speak for him."
When Fang Liren thought of this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Liang Yan, but saw that the other person's face was calm, and there was not even the slightest bit of strangeness on his face.
"Huh? I didn't expect Brother Liang to be so courageous. Even after listening to Senior Nan's words, his expression remained unchanged."
Fang Liren was worried, but he didn't know that Liang Yan's own thoughts were completely different from his.
At this moment, all Liang Yan could think about was how to make a move this time so that he could be selected without being too conspicuous.
After all, there are too many secrets in his body, and there are so many masters in Wushuang City. If he is really targeted by a powerful monk, he can't guarantee that he can hide it.
Therefore, the best outcome for him in this selection is to "barely" pass. As long as he gets a quota as a disciple of Wushuang City, he can then use the classics in Wushuang City to investigate whether the old monk in yellow has left him.
