Liang Yan sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
Without any hesitation, he stepped onto the stairs decisively, climbed all the way up, and soon entered the space vortex.
For a moment, the surrounding scenery was spinning.
However, this process was very short. Liang Yan quickly stood still, looked around, and found that he was actually in a wooden room.
The room was not big, only about two feet from south to north. There was an oil lamp on each of the four walls, but the candlelight was weak, making the whole room hazy.
Liang Yan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the second floor of this jeweled building looked like this. It was completely different from the huge valley on the first floor.
He turned his gaze and looked towards the center of the room.
I saw only a sandalwood table with a jade pot on the table. There seemed to be fairy wine in the pot. The aroma of the wine was rich and refreshing.
Liu Rushi was sitting at the table, not as cold as before, and actually looked a little tipsy.
"Sit down." The woman laughed softly.
Liang Yan nodded, without saying much, walked slowly to the table and sat down opposite Liu Rushi.
"Why are you sitting so far away? Come and have a chat with me." Liu Rushi smiled with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Liang Yan frowned slightly and thought to himself: "What kind of enchantment array is this?"
He was not afraid of this woman, so he sat over her generously and said with a smile: "Fairy, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
At this moment, the candlelight in the room is dim, the beauty is warming the wine, her eyes are hazy from drunkenness, and she is in a state of confusion.
Liu Rushi gently held her hair, blew on him, and suddenly smiled and said: "Lu Xuanji, you are definitely not an unknown cultivator. Tell your sister honestly, what are your intentions and why do you want to sneak into my Confucian sect?"
This question was asked very abruptly. If it were normal times, Liang Yan would immediately become wary.
But for some reason, at this moment, there was no disturbance in his heart. He even felt that it was no big deal when Liu Rushi asked this question.
"I……"
Liang Yan opened his mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly a light flashed through his mind, and he vaguely sensed something was wrong.
The next moment, he suddenly woke up.
"Am I... being tricked?"
Liang Yan was extremely surprised. You must know that his soul is strong and his Taoist heart is stable, so it is almost impossible for him to fall into other people's illusions or charms.
But at that moment, he really relaxed his vigilance, and even had the urge to tell the truth about his origins!
"This Liu Rushi!"
Liang Yan glanced at the woman next to him, and saw that she was drunk and hazy, and her whole body exuded a lazy and charming aura, making people want to get close to her unconsciously.
Is it a charm spell? No...
Is it an illusion? That’s not right either...
Liang Yan carefully checked the state of his body, the conditions in the surrounding rooms, and the mana fluctuations on Liu Rushi's body.
He was almost certain that this woman did not cast any spells.
Then why did I lose consciousness for a moment?
"There must be some mystery about this girl that I don't know about, and I almost fell into her trap!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and became more alert.
Confucian monks are cunning and changeable, and their methods are so bizarre that it is unimaginable.
This time when I sneaked into the Confucian League, although I had my three chaotic sword energy as my trump card, I couldn't be careless and I had to be extremely cautious!
These thoughts may sound like a lot, but Liang Yan's thoughts only took a moment.
He said the word "I" before, only paused for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "I am indeed a casual cultivator. I got a Confucian secret book by chance, and based on it, I studied the "Three Talents Sword"
This swordsmanship technique. It is also for this reason that Lu thinks he has a connection with Confucianism, so he chose the Confucian Alliance."
After hearing this, Liu Rushi's eyes turned wildly and she chuckled, "Why tell these lies to my sister? Why don't we be honest with each other?"
These words were extremely ambiguous, but Liang Yan kept a straight face and said seriously: "Everything Lu said is true. Fairy Liu has tested me many times. Could it be that she can't believe me?"
Seeing his appearance, Liu Rushi's drunkenness disappeared completely, and the abnormal blush on his face disappeared instantly.
She actually returned to her previous ice-flower-like temperament.
"Okay, I can trust Fellow Daoist Lu's character. Since Fellow Daoist said so, you can pass this test."
"ah?"
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment.
Although he has seen a lot, he has never seen a woman who has changed so much before and after.
Liu Rushi paused and then said: "But even if you pass the examination, you may not be able to enter the world-disaster realm."
"Want to hear the details."
"There are a total of thirteen test centers set up by the Confucian League in Dongyun Lingzhou, which means there are twelve people like you. In addition, there are many Confucian sects under the Confucian League, and they themselves will be divided into
There are probably dozens of people who have reached the quota, but in the end, only a few people can enter the world-disaster realm."
After listening to Liu Rushi's explanation, Liang Yan frowned slightly, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "In that case, why do we need to conduct separate assessments? Why not bring everyone together and decide on the final candidate in just one assessment."
Liu Rushi heard the dissatisfaction in his tone, and immediately smiled and said: "Young Taoist, I don't know, there is no fixed standard for the next assessment, but the four major academies choose on their own."
"Oh? Please ask the fairy to help me solve my doubts." Liang Yan said lightly.
"To put it simply, you selected monks will be assigned to one of the four major academies and participate in the academy's daily practice for ten years. After ten years, your academy's teachers will decide to participate in virtual realm discussion.
The list. Since each academy has different selection criteria, the Confucian League cannot conduct a unified examination."
When Liu Rushi said this, he paused and smiled: "Actually, this is also an opportunity for fellow Taoists! Because in the coming ten years, you can become classmates with the top monks from our four major academies, and together
Learn the exquisite techniques of my Confucian school."
"I see."
After listening to Liu Rushi's introduction, Liang Yan nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.
It seems that although the Confucian League is a whole, there is competition among the four major academies, and each academy has its own decision-making power and is not subject to outside interference.
Liu Rushi looked at his thoughtful look and suddenly smiled: "Although it is your own choice as to which academy to join, I still recommend that you join Holy Spirit Academy. Because we are very powerful. If you are lucky,
If you are selected, you will have powerful teammates in the world of disaster."
After hearing this, Liang Yan looked noncommittal and said leisurely: "Actually, I have lived in seclusion for many years and don't know much about the four major academies of the Confucian League. Can you give me a brief introduction?"
Liu Rushi nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist, you should know that our Confucian sect is divided into three major schools. Wanfa Academy is the lineage of Dharma Confucianism, Qingfeng Academy is the lineage of Chivalry Confucianism, and our Holy Spirit Academy is the lineage of Tyrant Confucianism. As for Tibetan Confucianism,
Sword Academy is quite special, it follows the path of sword cultivation."
"The people practiced in Wanfa Academy are all the secret arts of the Confucian League in ancient times. Most of them are old-fashioned, reject new laws, and are strict in etiquette. They are very difficult to get along with. The chivalrous and Confucian lineage is relatively loose, but their practice methods are not systematic. In comparison,
Next, our Holy Spirit Academy inherits and innovates. There are many powerful skills and secrets for learning. Even a foreign teacher like you is qualified to learn our secrets."
Liang Yan had heard of the Confucian theory of three-thirds in the Antarctic Fairy Continent.
However, the world of cultivation in Antarctic Immortal Continent started late, the Confucian system is not perfect, and the division of the three branches is also very vague. There is no legal-Confucian or hegemonic sect in the strict sense. The only person who impressed Liang Yan deeply was Linghu Bai, a domineering scholar.
However, this man never regarded himself as a Confucian monk. The Wushuang City he founded was also inclusive, and there was no sign of hegemony at all.
Of course, his own behavior style is quite domineering, which fits the title of "tyrant"...
Liang Yan thought for a moment in his mind, then sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Lu is a sword cultivator. Compared to the Holy Spirit Academy, I still want to enter the Hidden Sword Academy."
This was the true thought in his heart.
You must know that his original purpose of crossing the ocean from Antarctica to Dongyun Lingzhou was to meet the sword cultivators here.
Because the path of swordsmanship is confusing and difficult, Liang Yan has reached his current height and no longer knows what to do next.
Dongyun Lingzhou is known as the birthplace of swordsmanship, and there must be great masters of swordsmanship. If you can get the follow-up direction from the Cangjian Academy, it will be a worthwhile trip.
Of course, in addition to this, there is a special reason.
That is when he learned from the conversation between Liu Rushi and Murong Changfeng that Luo Qing was actually at Holy Spirit Academy.
This person is quite special. He had already come into contact with Liang Yan in Antarctica and even took the initiative to write a letter to invite him.
Liang Yan didn't want to get too close to Luo Qing to avoid exposing his flaws, so he would not choose Holy Spirit Academy no matter what.
After hearing his answer, Liu Rushi was obviously disappointed.
But this woman seemed to have expected it. She shook her head and said with a smile: "As expected, you sword cultivators have no interest in secret arts other than swordsmanship."
Liang Yan chuckled: "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to think too much. Even though I joined the Hidden Sword Academy, my fellow Taoist and I still belong to the Confucian League. If Mr. Lu is lucky enough to be selected, and we meet in the virtual world of disaster in the future, he will definitely help his fellow Taoist.
.”
"Since you have joined the Hidden Sword Academy, why do you want to help me?" Liu Rushi blinked and asked seemingly seriously.
Liang Yan laughed: "It was my fellow Taoist who recruited me into the Confucian League. It must be some kind of fate."
A cunning look flashed in Liu Rushi's eyes, and she suddenly got a little closer.
"Then what if... I want you to reveal all the information about Hidden Sword Academy to me?"
Liang Yan was stunned after hearing this.
He didn't expect that this woman would make such a request. Many thoughts flashed through him at the same time, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Just when he was considering his words and was about to speak, Liu Rushi chuckled again.
"I lied to you! The four houses of the Confucian League are of the same spirit, so how could I pry into the secrets of the Cangjian Academy? Since you have chosen the Cangjian Academy, I hope you can keep your promise and help us, the Confucian League, in the virtual realm."
It shines brightly in the Tao."
Liang Yan's face stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help but feel that he was being tricked by this woman.
But he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Of course, not to mention that I have a close relationship with Confucianism, even from my own point of view, I also hope to achieve the best results, so that I can
Received a reward from the Confucian League."
"Well said!"
Liu Rushi nodded, then smiled and said: "But you just said that you are destined to me, in fact, I think so too. Well, since I have nothing to do, I will give you a ride, which can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Check."
After hearing this, Liang Yan immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much!"
"Do you have any unfinished business, fellow Taoist?"
"No, we can leave now."
"good."
Liu Rushi stood up, waved his sleeves, and the wall behind him slowly opened, revealing a wide passage.
She led Liang Yan into the passage, all the way up, and soon arrived at the third floor of the Jewelry Building.
Here is an empty room with a huge magic circle on the floor.
"Teleportation circle?"
Liang Yan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there was a teleportation circle on the third floor of this jeweled building.
Liu Rushi seemed to have understood what he was thinking, and said with a leisurely smile: "What's so strange about this? Our Confucian League has influence all over the world. Even in remote cities like Jade Belt City, we can still build teleportation circles."
After saying that, he took out an Immortal Yun Stone from the storage ring and embedded it in the hub of the magic circle.
"Let's go."
Liu Rushi stood on the teleportation circle and turned back to smile brightly at him.
Liang Yan did not hesitate and also walked into the magic circle.
Then, the white light of the teleportation circle lit up, and the powerful power of space swept in. The two figures quickly disappeared from the circle...
The surrounding scenery was spinning, and all kinds of chaotic spatial forces were stirring back and forth.
Liang Yan finally understood why one teleportation cost one Immortal Yun Stone. It turned out that the teleportation distance was very long, and there were countless space vortexes in the process!
If it weren't for the protection of the teleportation circle, and the two of them were not weak in cultivation, they might have been in danger of being swallowed by the space vortex!
After an unknown amount of time, Liang Yan landed on the ground and arrived at a bustling city.
"Is this the Confucian League?" Liang Yan walked to the street and looked around curiously.
Liu Rushi smiled and said: "It's still early. Yudai City is too far away from the Cangjian Academy, almost across half of the continent. We have to go through at least three teleportations to get there. This is 'Junli City', which is under the jurisdiction of the Confucian League.
We have to hurry up and rush to the next teleportation circle."
After saying that, he flew away without looking back.
Liang Yan couldn't help sighing after hearing this. Without hesitation, he also activated Dunguang and followed Liu Rushi closely...
Spring goes and autumn comes, and the years fly by.
In a blink of an eye, it’s already the second year.
In the northwest of Dongyun Lingzhou, a brilliant white light suddenly appeared on the teleportation array of a certain fairy city.
Then, a man and a woman appeared at the same time.
"Is this the Cangwu Realm?" the man asked as soon as he appeared.
"Yes, this is the Cangwu Realm. We welcome our two seniors!"
There were more than a dozen monks beside the magic circle, men and women, all dressed as scholars, saluting the two of them respectfully.
"It's finally here."
The man breathed a long sigh of relief and showed a smile on his face.
