Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

Suddenly, Zhong Wanling glanced out of the window. Through the white magnolia branches, she could see a tall young man running back and forth at the door of Magnolia House. This was not the first time she had seen this boy. In recent days, she could always see him, several times late at night

"That is?"

Zhong Shujuan came close to the window, held her hand and took a look, frowning."It's your cousin Zhong Jieshan. After saying that, he started to wonder again,"What is this kid doing here?""

Zhong Wanling was thoughtful. It turned out that this tall, thin boy with a plain appearance was Zhong Jieshan. Suddenly, she understood the reason why the boy was lingering here. Magnolia Residence is adjacent to the old lady's residence during her lifetime. He was not wandering in front of Magnolia Residence. Instead of going, she repeatedly tested in front of the old lady's old residence. Zhong Wanling couldn't help but frown.

Zhong Shujuan saw her daughter frowning and looking downstairs, thinking that the young man downstairs had made Zhong Wanling unhappy, so she patted Zhong Wanling's leg through the quilt. He took the soup bowl from Zhong Wanling's hand and said with a smile:"Don't worry, mother will go and drive away this annoying boy."

Zhong Wanling was stunned, knowing that her mother would be wrong, but then she thought, the fewer people who understand this matter, the better, so she nodded to Zhong Shujuan. Zhong Shujuan hurried downstairs with the plate and bowl.

Zhong Wanling sat down Beside the bed by the window, he looked thoughtfully at the young man downstairs.

Perhaps by chance, perhaps because he felt something in his heart, the young man also raised his head.

Through the huge flowers as white as snow, the young man saw the tall buildings inside the courtyard wall. Above, a girl was sitting in front of the window and looking at him quietly. Her eyes were very strange, like a condescending examination, but also like a compassionate sympathy, not at all like a girl of his own age. He knew this girl Who is she? He also knew that this girl held the secret he wanted to know. But he also knew that this girl would never tell him the answer.

The two looked at each other briefly for a moment, and then a beautiful and charming woman rushed towards him. He came out. With the beautiful woman's rude and unbecoming curses, the young man fled far away.

Zhong Jieshan ran a few steps, feinted from the corner of the extending wall, jumped down, turned over and dodged into a narrow alley. These days. In order to find out the truth about the death of the old lady, he wandered around the Zhong Mansion whenever he had time. He had walked hundreds of alleys and alleys throughout the Zhong Mansion. Which alleys would be seen by sentries, and which roads would be guarded. Or the disciples were patrolling, when they were patrolling, and who they were.

In fact, Zhong Jieshan had already guessed the answer, but he still continued to investigate day after day, as if once he stopped, he would lose it. As long as the motivation that supported him to continue walking was the same, his world would completely collapse.

Just when Zhong Jieshan didn't know whether to go back to Baishouyuan to have another look or go home directly, a not-so-young but young man suddenly walked out of the alley in front of him. A slightly charming maid.

The maid looked around and asked cautiously:"Is this Master Jieshan?"

Zhong Jieshan straightened his clothes and walked forward with a natural look. He recalled calmly. He was sure that he had never seen this maid before."It's me. Who are you? The maid bowed respectfully and said,"It doesn't matter who your slave is. What's important is that the young master is Master Jieshan.""

Zhong Jieshan frowned. He didn't like this way of speaking. This way of speaking only meant that this person had other agendas. Although Zhong Jieshan was only a young man, he was not as naive as his two famous Like an aunt, he thought that the Zhong family was full of intrigues and intrigues, especially those who had ulterior motives and tried to stir up trouble. Therefore, he had no intention of listening at all, and kept walking past the maid and walked straight out of the alley. Still maintaining the posture of leaning forward."Don't you, Master Jieshan, not want to know the cause of the old lady's death?

Zhong Jieshan said dismissively:"Does your words have any credibility?""

The maid laughed softly, and her laughter was a little weird."No."

Zhong Jieshan turned around and was about to scold her. But the maid continued unhurriedly:"But Master Jieshan will definitely be able to verify everything I said, and the young master can completely trust himself."

Zhong Jieshan paused. He was now completely convinced that the person in front of him was definitely not a maid, but she obviously would not tell him who she really was. Zhong Jieshan was conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted to confirm the answer in his heart, but on the other hand, he wanted to confirm the answer in his heart. On the other hand, he is afraid of the answer. He knows that he cannot trust anything from unknown sources, but he is also confident that he can verify it without being confused.

""The maid" didn't care about Zhong Jieshan's answer. She straightened up and said,"The slave family just wants to provide the young master with two clues, not an answer. As for what the answer is, the young master can check it out. What the young master thinks at that time is the young master's business and has nothing to do with the slave family."

Zhong Jieshan frowned and stared at the woman's back without saying a word.

"The first clue is that the old lady died in the swamp under the cliff of Beiyuan Zhongting."

Zhong Jieshan couldn't help but take a breath. He had heard about this rumor, but everyone thought it was too ridiculous and no one believed it.

"The Shenzi team was on duty that night. In addition to the night guards, some servants on duty in Beiyuan also saw it. The young master can verify it"""The maid" smiled softly and added,"Second, some of the maids from Baishouyuan who were sent back that night returned to the courtyard, they were two maids. The reason was that one of the maids accidentally dropped her hair in the courtyard. When they returned to the outer courtyard, they were caught by the night guards and were whipped for violating the curfew. The young master should be able to find these two people when he goes to the execution hall."

Zhong Jieshan's face was pale.

The"maid" did not look back and walked straight out from the other end of the alley. Zhong Jieshan watched the"maid" slowly disappear at the other end of the alley, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away. Feeling paralyzed, he stumbled two steps and leaned against the wall slumped.

Even though the sky outside the alley was clear, the narrow gap between the two walls was always clouded.

Zhong Jieshan did not check the clues mentioned by the weird"maid". He He is not a fool, he knows that the person who comes to his door must have been tricked. But... it makes no difference to him whether to check or not.

Zhong Jieshan chose to go home in the end. He understood very well that everything he did , it was just an escape. However, now, he has no way to avoid it.

When Zhong Jieshan returned home, his grandfather Zhong Yan and mother Zhong Shuqian were already in the mansion. Zhong Jieshan was caught as soon as he came back.

Zhong Yan He has always been strict and has an old-fashioned personality. When he saw his beloved grandson coming back from outside in a daze, he immediately became angry and scolded him:"What's going on with you recently? Day after day, you just want to sneak out and run around. Don't you know what day it is going to be? It’s hard to get another chance. Do you know that other children are struggling? You're better off... Do you think that once Zhong Wanling can't afford to get sick, you will be stable? There are many people down there who want to come up, and that girl Zhong Wanling has shown signs of recovery recently!"

Zhong Shuqian was also worried, but after all, she felt sorry for her son, so she stepped forward to hold her irritable father and persuaded:"Dad, stop talking, I think Shan'er has also realized something. Let’s eat first"

"How does he look like he has any consciousness? Zhong Yan was furious. He pointed at Zhong Jieshan and wanted to scold him, but he didn't want to hurt his daughter's heart. He could only use his cane and said,"Ouch!" Let’s eat first."

Zhong Jieshan also knows that the Laoxian Sect has been turbulent recently. Many of his peers are working hard, preparing with all their heart, competing with each other, and even all kinds of small tricks and tricks are frequent, and fights and quarrels are one after another. The Presbyterian Council has to A ban has been issued against fighting with fellow disciples, but private duels are still common, and some people are even injured and disabled.

Why? You ask?

The reason is simple. The ten-year period is coming.

The most important event in the world of immortality, the Xuantian Selection, is coming.

The rules for Xuantian's selection are very simple. They are basically similar to the selection systems of major branches. The only difference is that there is one more examination room. There are two examination areas in total - Qilin Competition and Dragon -

Phoenix Competition. Qilin Competition is the examination room recommended by the Immortal Cultivation Sect. Immortal cultivation sects recognized by the Qing Sect can nominate a candidate to participate in the assessment. The main assessment is whether the recommended student meets the standard. This standard is not very high, as long as he is a young Zhoutian monk. Another examination area is Longfeng Du. , they are faced with casual cultivators and immortal cultivating disciples who were not born in immortal cultivating families. Most of them are people from the world of martial arts or disciples of aristocratic families who have entered the immortal sect. This examination room is much stricter, and the elimination system is adopted. The final number admitted is also There are only three people. But I have to admit that the world is so big that there will always be some geniuses every now and then. Although they are from ordinary backgrounds, they have their own adventures. Of course, such people are rare.

The difficulty of the Qilin Competition and Dragon and Phoenix Fighting assessments can be described as There is one heaven and one earth. The disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect naturally hope to do the former. After all, no one knows whether a chosen one will suddenly emerge during the dragon and phoenix fight. Therefore, the disciples of each sect naturally work hard. No one wants to compete for the recommendation quotas of various factions.

However, the quota for this Qilin Competition is not easy to get.

Zhong Jieshan really doesn’t understand why everyone will do anything for this quota. Relatives and friends Enmity, fratricide, and even murder... Zhong Jieshan doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to understand. Is there nothing more meaningful in this world besides entering a better and higher immortal sect? Isn't there anything more precious than these places? Have you?

Obviously, he is the only one who thinks so. Compared with the issues he thinks about, others are concerned about other issues.

"Dad, is there no way for the Presbyterian Council to change its selection method? Zhong Shuqian asked Zhong Yan anxiously.

Zhong Yan didn't understand."Change?" Which one to change."

Zhong Shuqian and her maid put the dinner on the round table, while pointing the direction of the bridge entrance with her eyes.

Seven years after the death of the old lady, the two long monuments in front of the bridge entrance sect will be changed. This list will be different from the previous one. There is not much difference, that is, the ranking of Lao Xian Sect disciples' spells and spiritual realms is displayed, but the ranking range has expanded from eighteen to thirty, which means the competition has become more intense.

Zhong Yan thought she said Regarding the age of candidates, he said:"Thirty is a bit older, but after all, it is a candidate once every ten years. Sometimes there will be several outstanding talents in one generation. There will always be people who are unlucky, so you have to give them some room."Zhong Yan thought, this is probably the case for Jieshan's generation. Although the two boys from the second family are indeed dazzling, it is undeniable that there are many outstanding people among the younger generations of this generation. His family is Jieshan, and the third family is The twins are not bad either.
