Chapter 40 This is Versailles

In the early morning, the sky lit up slightly.

On the inaccessible mountain trail, Sang Pan covered his eyes with white gauze, and with the support of three disciples, he slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.

The mountain trails are quite rugged and difficult to navigate.

However, the four of them all carry profound martial arts books passed down secretly by the Yin Yang family. Chang Si Nian, the most incompetent, also has a fifth-level martial arts cultivation. Therefore, although Sang Pan, who cannot see with both eyes, is walking here

On the mountain forest trail, it is still flat ground.

Among the three disciples, Chang Sinian was the most talkative and couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, I dare to ask, are your eyes injured this time because of what happened in the Shanshiyuan that day? I heard that at the Shanshiyuan that day, the Buddha came to the world and manifested blossoming golden lotuses. And today

His Majesty the Emperor of Yun Kingdom, a divine dragon appeared behind him, threatening all directions. Teacher, you were at the scene at that time, so did this really happen, or was it just a rumor?"

Sang Pan has a quite gentle temperament, and he gets along quite harmoniously with the three disciples, so he won't be angry because of it. He just reached out and patted Chang Sinian's forehead lightly and said:

"Your information is quite good!"

Chang Sinian covered his forehead, laughed twice, and said:

"This matter has spread all over the streets and alleys of Zhongqing City in the past two days! The emperor was in the palace, and these people couldn't see him, so they ran outside the Shanshi Courtyard, burned incense and kowtowed, asking for the Buddha's blessing. There were even some

The scholars who were taking the examination ran over there to pray that they would pass the examination. Some of the friends I had just met also secretly dragged me over to pay their respects!"

Hearing this, Sang Pan shook his head and said:

"You haven't come into contact with this realm yet, so it's useless to ask questions. But after all, you are a disciple of my Yin Yang family. Do you really believe that there are any gods, ghosts, and Buddhas in this world?"

Chang Sinian quickly explained for himself:

"Of course the disciples don't believe it! But...it's just that now there are rumors in the city that the Buddhist master Huiqi is the reincarnation of the Buddha, and that His Majesty Yun Guo is the True Dragon Emperor. The disciples are inevitably a little curious!

"

Shi Chengwen, who was walking at the front to open the way, couldn't help but say:

"Teacher, the injury to both eyes is more serious than last time. It has reached the point where you need to absorb a wisp of purple energy from the rising sun for healing. You are an eighth-level master and have practiced my Yin-Yang family's secret technique for a long time. How can you see?

What kind of vision did you see that led to such a backlash?"

Sang Pan is one of the few inner sect disciples of the Yin Yang family who travels outside the world. He travels to Tianjianghu all the year round.

He traveled all over the world to observe the changes in the stars, and to explore the feng shui context of the mountains, rivers, and earth all over the world, just to practice "Guan Xin Pu", the secret technique of the Yin Yang family that can detect the true nature of the human heart. For more than twenty years, he

Through cultivation, this secret skill has been cultivated to an extremely advanced level.

The Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, as the leader of a powerful country in the world, had the mighty aura of dragons and tigers of the country, condensed into a vision of Qingyun that stretched for miles. His luck was so prosperous that there was no one like him in the world.

After Sang Pan did a Qi meditation for him back then, his eyes only felt sore and he didn't suffer any backlash.

However, he did not expect that in just a few months after entering Yun Kingdom, he had already injured his eyes twice, and this time it was so serious that he needed to use the secret techniques of the Yin Yang family to heal his injuries.

Upon hearing Shi Chengwen's question, Sang Pan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"What do you see? Two masters at the peak of the ninth level use their own realm to activate the power of heaven and earth, and use this energy to condense into various visions, which can even be manifested in front of ordinary people. Divine dragons and golden lotuses are like this...

…I don’t know now whether it’s the Yun Kingdom that has a problem, or whether this world has undergone earth-shaking changes without me knowing it!”

When he was in Shanshiyuan, if it weren't for the shock of Sangpan that caused his worldview to collapse and cast doubt on the world he had lived in for decades, which led him to want to explore the reasons and forcefully activate his secret skills to look directly at the vision,

Nowadays, my eyes are not hurt to this extent.

"You are still young in cultivation, now is not the time to worry about this kind of period. I have sent a message to our family, and I believe there will be a response from the sect leader soon!" Sang Pan said.

When Shi Chengwen and the other three heard this, their expressions couldn't help but condense.

Among the three, Shi Chengwen has the highest level of martial arts cultivation, but he has just entered the seventh level, so he is really not qualified to explore such things.

But Sang Pan told him this, which naturally proves that the rumors circulating in the market are not false rumors. Instead, this martial arts master uses his own realm to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to condense the vision.

Such a method is really unheard of. The three of them couldn't help but fell silent, and the atmosphere was slightly heavy.

People will instinctively feel a little afraid of unknown things. After entering the Cloud Kingdom, it seems as if something has really changed between heaven and earth.

Sang Pan sensed that the disciples were worried, so he couldn't help but cough slightly and changed the subject:

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you do in the second imperial examination?"

Hearing this, Chang Sinian came back to his senses slightly and continued:

"The previous imperial examination qualification test made us think that the Yunguo imperial examination was nothing more than this. With this difficulty, what kind of talents can be selected for the country? Unexpectedly, the difficulty of this second examination suddenly increased. Disciples asked around

After passing the test, the difficulty of the test questions in each subject is not low. Many people who took the test had very ugly faces when they came out of the test room!"

Sang Pan chuckled lightly and said:

"Chengwen, Shi Dan, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Shi Dan immediately replied:

"This disciple is enrolling in the Minsk Calculation Department, and most of the questions are about astronomical and calendar deductions, which are as difficult as the mid-month exam."

"Oh? So the difficulty is not low!" Sang Pan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Outer disciples of the Yin Yang family have monthly examinations every month. Those who fail the monthly examinations three consecutive times will not be allowed to stay in the mountain gate.

This elimination system is not to drive people away, but to allow the students in the sect to calm down and study. Therefore, the difficulty of this monthly test cannot be too high. Of course, it is obvious that it can make the Yin Yang family students feel the pressure.

It won't be too simple.

The second round of Yunguo's imperial examination went to such an extent, which obviously surprised Sang Pan.

Chang Sinian heard this and said quickly:

"The disciple signed up for the Scholarship Examination, and the test was about policy and theory. The test questions were hundreds of words long, and the central idea was to 'unite all ethnic groups, nourish the people's strength, and eliminate stubbornness'. The question asked is how to unify all ethnic groups in the Yun Kingdom and make them

Peace in the country."

Hearing this, Sang Pan nodded and said:

"Many tribes in the Yun Kingdom live together. When the country was first established, there were often tribes in the country and there was constant turmoil. This is why the kings and ministers of the Yun Kingdom tried their best to suppress the descendants of the Ailao Kingdom. However, after hundreds of years of governance,

By using Buddhism to resolve grievances, the country is more and more accepting of the Yun Kingdom's orthodoxy. It is appropriate to use this as a test question!"

Chang Sinian rolled his eyes and smiled rather obscenely:

"Today's life for the Ailao people is much better. The current emperor lifted the ban on the Ailao people and gave them some land in the south of Yun State. By the way, hehehe, I heard that in the harem now, there are

A direct daughter of the Ailao tribe. If not for the fact that His Majesty the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom is so talented and resourceful, he is even willing to use the beauty trick... Ouch!"

Sang Pan casually slapped Chang Sinian hard on the forehead and lectured:

"Since you are determined to serve in the court of Yun Kingdom, you must respect the Emperor of Yun Kingdom. Otherwise, if you are not careful, disaster will come from your mouth!"

Chang Sinian screamed in pain and quickly covered his forehead.

"Sir, it's just a joke..."

Sang Pan had no patience to deal with Chang Sinian and asked again:

"Chengwen, you signed up for the military department this time. How do you feel?"

Shi Chengwen turned around and said in a deep voice:

"The military science test questions are all about formation of troops, transportation of food and grass, and terrain and mountains."

Shi Chengwen paused and then said:

“Not difficult, but comprehensive!”

Sang Pan nodded and couldn't help but admired:

"Although this imperial examination system is new, my cursory consideration shows that there are not many obvious loopholes. It can be seen that in the Yun Kingdom court, in addition to this talented and strategic emperor, there are also useful people who are good at checking for leaks and filling them.

A capable minister!"

Speaking of this, Sang Pan thought of his mother country again, with a look of lament on his face.

When the three disciples saw this, they knew that their teacher was worried again. Chang Sinian stepped forward without saying a word and changed the subject in a few words.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at the top of the mountain while chatting.

"Hey!" At this time, Shi Chengwen, who was walking at the front, suddenly said in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Sang Pan's eyes were injured and he couldn't see clearly, so he asked quickly.

Chang Sinian, Shi Dan followed Shi Chengwen's line of sight and saw that on the platform of the mountain, a huge stone with a smooth surface had been carved into a simple chessboard. On the chessboard, there were also messy arrangements.

Place small round or square pebbles.

"Is there anyone who can play chess in a place like this?" Shi Dan couldn't help but ask.

Chang Sinian immediately became energetic and said:

"Could it be like the story in the storybook, where an expert set up a chess game here, leaving opportunities waiting for the destined person. Whoever cracks the chess game can get the true story?"

Shi Chengwen stepped forward and took a look, then slowly shook his head at Chang Sinian and said seriously:

"No! There are occasional unevenness or cracks on this stone chessboard, but they are naturally formed. The lines of the chessboard carved on it are also very shallow, and they don't look like they were left by an expert."

Chang Sinian looked at Shi Chengwen, who looked serious and serious, as if he really believed what he just said, and couldn't help but want to laugh, and couldn't help but say:

"Chengwen, don't be so serious, you're just saying it to tease me."

Shi Chengwen was silent for a while, then solemnly nodded again and said:

"Um!"

Chang Sinian twitched the corner of his mouth, lightly covered his forehead, and weakly waved his hand at him.

Forget it, get used to it!

Sang Pan shook his head, looked for a stone through his blurred vision, sat cross-legged facing east, and quietly waited for the morning glow to rise.

After a while, the eastern horizon became brighter and brighter. The morning glow filled the sky and was extremely gorgeous.

Sang Pan's eyes were slightly closed, facing the east, and he was performing the Yin Yang Family Kung Fu. As he puffed and puffed, the inexplicable energy of heaven and earth moved with it.

A wisp of purple mist visible to the naked eye, which circulates quite smartly, slowly takes shape on Sang Pan's chest.

This wisp of purple energy became thicker and thicker as the exercises in Sang Pan's body continued. It wasn't until the eastern sun rose completely that this wisp of purple energy, which was already as thick as a baby's thumb, stopped growing.

Chang Sinian's eyes widened suddenly, unable to conceal his surprise. He hurriedly pulled Shi Chengwen beside him and lowered his voice:

"I'm not wrong! Isn't the morning glow purple energy today a little too big? In the past, I have seen gentlemen in the sect eating morning glow purple energy, but most of them were hair-sized, not as big as this

Yes!"

Shi Chengwen looked serious and shook his head slightly. At this time, he remembered what Sang Pan had said before that there might be changes in the world that they were unaware of, and his heart felt a little heavy.

This wisp of purple energy, influenced by Sang Pan's Qi machine, swam to his eyes, finally split into two, and slowly merged into his eyes.

After a while, Sang Pan felt the coolness coming from his eyes, took a long breath of turbid air, and completed the exercise.

Seeing that Sang Pan had completed his exercise, Chang Sinian hurriedly approached him and said eagerly:

"Sir, do you feel any different today?"

Sang Pan naturally felt something was wrong, nodded, and said lightly:

"The purple qi of the morning glow today is unusual. If it were like this every day, I'm afraid my eyes would only need to swallow the purple qi three more times to be cured!"

Originally it was just a guess, but at this time, Sang Pan, combined with all the strange things that happened after he entered the Yun Kingdom, was 60% sure that something must have changed between heaven and earth.

After hearing Sang Pan's words, the three disciples had different reactions.

When Chang Sinian heard the words, he didn't think much at all, he just kept marveling and admiring him. Shi Dan didn't pay attention either. Hearing the news that Sang Pan was about to recover, he had a look of joy on his face. Only when Sang Pan was about to recover, his thoughts became more and more serious.

stand up.

Shi Chengwen knew that his husband had not made it clear to him and others, and it was for their sake. But how could he hide these things from his extremely thoughtful mind?

The four of them had different thoughts, and when they were about to go down the mountain, they suddenly heard a burst of free and easy singing.

"The rivers and seas are extinguished, the mountains and forests are long gone. The distant winds are sparse, and the emotions are floating in the clouds. The way is empty and complete, and the things that go against the world are in vain..."

Two old men, dressed in cloth and with handsome figures, walked up the mountain path together.

Walking to the platform, looking at the four Sang Pan people in front of them, the two old men were slightly stunned, and then bowed to the four people.

Sang Pan's vision was still a little blurry, but he could still clearly see the two people walking on the familiar road between the mountains and forests. Combined with the stone chess game he just saw, he immediately understood that this was the person who left the chess board.

He quickly took three disciples with him, bowed his hands to them, and said:

"I didn't know there was an owner here. Please forgive me for causing trouble!"

When one of the old men heard this, he smiled at the four of them and nodded:

"This is not an owned place. It's just a place where we two old men usually hide and relax!"

Another old man also laughed loudly and waved his hands:

"You don't have to worry about us two, just come and go as you please!"

To swallow the purple vapor of the morning glow, you need to face east without any obstruction. There are not many places that meet the requirements near Zhongqing City. Apart from this mountain peak, I am afraid there is no other suitable place.

Since this mountain peak has no owner, it is natural for the two old men to let them do whatever they want. But the two old men are so humble, polite and courteous, and the four of them can't help but feel attracted to the two old men.

Good impression.

"Thank you two elders!" The four of them bowed together again.

The two old men nodded slightly, then sat down in front of the stone plate and moved out of the way down the mountain.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard again on the mountain path.

At this moment, the four people from Sang Pan couldn't help but be stunned.

Are there so many people in Yun Kingdom who like to climb mountains?

When the two old men heard the noise, they couldn't help but look at each other.

An old man looked helpless, shook his head and sighed:

"It's hard for them, but they can still catch up here!"

The other old man also shook his head silently.

The four Sangpans already had a good impression of these two old men, but now they felt that they seemed to be in some kind of trouble, so they thought of helping them.

Chang Sinian looked at his husband and saw that he had no objection. He immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Two elders, what's the trouble?"

The two old men looked a little strange when they heard this.

One of them shook his head slightly and said:

"It's troublesome, but it's not really a troublesome thing..."

"Anyway, I would like to thank you four for your kindness!" Another old man continued.

Hearing this, the four Sangpan people couldn't help but feel a little confused!

In the end, is this considered troublesome?

Not long after, the sound of footsteps on the mountain forest path became clearer and clearer.

A group of soldiers with Miao swords on their waists and strong figures helped a palace attendant to dress up. The eunuch, who was covered in mud and dew and looked quite embarrassed, climbed up the mountain.

The palace attendant looked at the figures of the two old men. First he breathed a long sigh of relief, then impatiently raised the imperial edict hidden in his arms and shouted loudly:

"Two wise men, by the order of His Majesty, I invite you to join the court as officials!"

An old man looked at the embarrassed palace attendant, shook his head, and said firmly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I, Lord Pound, are not in the court, so I have no choice but to decline again!"

Another old man, Sima Hui, also smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty is thirsty for talents, and I already know it. But the two of us are just idle clouds and wild cranes in the mountains. We have no talent. We can help your Majesty stabilize the country. It would be unworthy of virtue, and we have to reject your Majesty's will again!"

"

When the palace attendant heard this, he was so anxious that he almost burst into tears. He begged for mercy with a grimace:

"Two sages, I have run away for the third time now, and I am in such a mess! Just take pity on me and agree to it! People in the world do not know how much energy, thought and path they have to go through in order to become an official.

.And His Majesty has repeatedly issued orders to invite the two of you to serve as officials in the court, but why have you refused?"

When the two heard this, they shook their heads and refused.

Sang Pan and others stood aside, looking at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

The trouble they talked about actually meant that the emperor invited them to serve as officials in the court?

For a moment, especially Shi Chengwen and the others who were taking the imperial examination recently, they looked at the two old men with quite complicated feelings.

This wave is a typical Versailles!
