This year's annual exams are quite unusual, and there are many things that will become the talk of the Taoist Sect for many years.

The first thing is that Ji Bingxian just entered the Taiqing Xuansheng realm a few days ago. She defeated many opponents who were higher than herself in the annual exam and won the first place in the Xuansheng realm annual exam. Counting this, this is her first time in a row.

Ranked first in three annual exams. Ji Bingxian is like a fairy sword, but now it has begun to show its edge. Nine years after she entered Taoism, she has cultivated to the Sixth Level of Taiqing. At such a speed, in the previous thirty years of Daode Sect, only Shen Boyang could match her.

It's just a comparison. The Daode Sect promoted the first disciple to cultivate Taoism, and Ji Bingxian's progress was so rapid that it would be no problem to take over the Changyang Palace from Master Ziwei in the future.

Another strange thing is the series of battles between Li Xuanzhen, Shang Qiushui and Mingyun. Li Xuanzhen defeated Shang Qiushui, Shang Qiushui defeated Mingyun, and Mingyun defeated Li Xuanzhen. Because the three of them were all above in all literary examinations

, so this series of battles created a big problem in determining the rankings of the annual examination. The chief examiners discussed for a long time, and finally gave the first place to all three of them. This was the first time in fifty years.

As for the fact that Master Bamai came to watch Ji Ruochen's annual exam, not many people knew about it, so there was naturally no discussion about it.

This time, the disciples of Danyuan Palace have shown quite good progress in the annual examination. It was only because Ji Ruochen got the first place in the annual examination that he was suppressed by Taichang Palace and continued to be at the bottom of the Nine Meridians. But this is no longer the same as the last place in previous years.

There is a big difference, and the smoking was done just before the annual exam. Daoxing had just entered the Taiqing Heavenly Holy Realm, and happened to be at the same level as Li Xuanzhen and others. The outcome can be imagined.

After learning the final result, Master Yuxuan had no expression on his face, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy.

At dusk that day, when Ji Ruochen returned to his place, he did not immediately study Taoism and meditate as before. Instead, he put on his clothes and fell down on the bed, staring at the ceiling blankly, thinking about his thoughts.

The first place in the annual examination did not bring him much joy. As soon as he returned to Taichang Palace, Master Ziyang called him over overnight and asked him in detail what kind of mental method he used to defeat Mingxin in the end.

What kind of Taoist formula is it? Ji Ruochen hesitated for a long time before he said that this was the sap technique he used at the Longmen Inn. He had killed countless fat sheep with this technique. Before he entered the Taoism Sect, he would do it every day.

I have practiced hard, so I have become familiar with my hands. When I am competing with a skill, I am in a hurry and I use it unknowingly.

To beat a fat sheep to a sap is to take it unexpectedly, hold your breath and keep calm. How can there be any secrets in this?

However, Master Ziyang still refused to relax. He even asked him in detail how to move, how to raise his hands, how to exert force, and how to hold his breath. He even asked him to practice it repeatedly on the spot, which took him more than an hour. Although there are only a few simple steps for sap.

But since he couldn't use his real energy, Ji Ruochen was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely and his hands and feet were sore after doing it too many times. After each demonstration, Master Ziyang frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked him to repeat it again.

Ji Ruochen groaned secretly. He knew that the movements he was making at the moment only had their form, not their spirit. When he practiced at the Longmen Inn in the past, all he wanted was to practice the decomposed movements accurately, without any difference. Only the truth

When he got behind the fat sheep and tried to knock him down with one blow, Ji Ruochen would be like a wolf eyeing its prey, entering a wonderful state before a life-and-death battle.

It was an indescribable feeling, like being extremely nervous, but also like being extremely frightened. At this time, Ji Ruochen seemed to feel that the cold hairs all over his body stood up quietly, as if he had turned into a wolf that was quietly approaching its prey.

Same.

There was no one in front of Ji Ruochen at this time, so where could he find such a feeling? Moreover, even if there was a Taoist priest pretending to be a fat sheep in front of him, but he couldn't really kill him, he wouldn't be able to enter the state of fighting.

Or in the words of the shopkeeper, you have to feel when you hit a sap.

That night, it was not until late at night that Master Ziyang let Ji Ruochen go back. In the next few days, Ji Ruochen expected to study Taoism as usual, but the masters all asked more or less about the last grade of the exam.

Attack and inquire about the technique used and which master secretly taught it. Ji Ruochen said frankly that it was the trick used to beat the fat sheep from behind at the Longmen Inn, and he only used it in a moment of urgency. After hearing this, all the masters pondered for a long time.

At the end, I did not forget to comfort Ruochen with a few words, saying that it does not matter that he went astray when he was young. Now that he has entered the Taoist Sect, he is destined to the Taoism. As long as he devotes himself to the Taoism, he will naturally succeed one day.

At this moment, Ji Ruochen was lying on his back on the couch, and the experience after the annual examination was flowing through his heart over and over again. The reactions of the real people were very strange, how could Ji Ruochen not see it? The more he studied the Three Pure Scriptures, the more he could feel it

Considering the great power possessed by all the immortals, it stands to reason that all the movements of these immortals are capable of moving mountains and rivers. Why are they so interested in his sap? Besides, there was nothing special about him when he was beating fat sheep in the past.

I feel that on the day of the annual exam, I walked through the wind and sand and knocked Ming Xin down with a stick, which showed some power.

Ji Ruochen was thinking about it, and suddenly jumped up from the bed, picked up the wooden sword casually, and walked forward like flowing clouds and flowing water, and then used the sword as a stick to hit a celadon vase in front of the window!

The wooden sword made no sound, fell quickly, stopped suddenly, and stopped squarely on the edge of the celadon vase. It was only a hair away from the vase, but did not touch it. Ji Ruochen was very satisfied with this stick.

He has been practicing Taoism in the mountains for more than half a year, but he has not left behind the ability to make a living. I remember when he practiced sap, he had to go through a small and crowded kitchen, and hit ten buns stacked high with a fire stick until he was

The third bun from the top has a stick mark on it to be considered a success. The buns made by the shopkeeper's wife are big, juicy and have a thin skin. It is an incredible skill to be able to put ten of them in a pile. One of the buns must be in the middle.

Leaving a seal on it means that it can't touch other people, and it can't break the bun. How easy is it?

The bun with the charcoal marks from the fire stick was Ji Ruochen's breakfast. Apart from that, there was only a bowl of gruel and half a pickle. Although the life in the inn was miserable, compared to the wandering life, it was already heaven and earth.

.

Ji Ruochen started learning how to beat sap the day after he entered Longmen Inn, and spent the next five years hungry in the morning before eating the first steamed bun in the morning.

He stood blankly in the room, maintaining the posture of holding the stick and pressing down for a full moment. Then he woke up from his memories and saw clearly that the precious black osmanthus sword in his hand was not a worthless fire stick.

.

Ji Ruochen smiled bitterly, put the wooden sword back on the table, and fell back on the couch. For a moment, he felt exhausted physically and mentally. A sap is a sap, so what's the secret? If real people want to ask, he really answers

For a moment, Ji Ruochen just felt that there was no one in the Taishang Daode Palace who made him feel that he could say something about himself. He was still young, and when he needed friends, the word "banished to immortal" was as heavy as a mountain.

, it made him breathless, and the grace of all the real people added to the burden in his heart.

Ji Ruochen is like a child who mistakenly enters someone else's treasure house. Although he can take whatever he wants at the moment, how can he know when he will be discovered by the owner of the treasure house and be knocked back to his original form overnight?

At this moment, he made up his mind not to reveal a single word about the Immortal Dissociation Art.

As he was thinking about it, a piece of cold moonlight shone on Ji Ruochen's face. Only then did he realize that it was already past the zenith of the moon, and he had been thinking about it for most of the night without realizing it.

The moonlight was like frost, and it also fell on Zhenren Yuxuan. She was sitting on the Wangxing Tower in Danyuan Palace, quietly gazing at the vast sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

There was the sound of imperceptible footsteps on the stairs, and then a voice floating like water sounded from behind Master Yuxuan: "See Master Yuxuan with smoke."

Yu Xuan was silent for a long time, then pointed to a chair next to him and said: "Sit down."

Hanyan was startled for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Where can there be a seat for disciples in front of the master?"

Master Yuxuan said: "Actually, I'm not much older than you. If we ascetics are determined to live forever, it's not surprising that we can live hundreds of years. Decades are just a snap of the fingers. You see Master Ziyang is older than me.

Over ninety years old. Smoking. We won't talk about moral rules tonight, just have a casual chat. Besides, you have sacrificed so much for Danyuan Palace, you are fully qualified for this position."

Hanyan silently said in his heart, "You have sacrificed so much for Danyuan Palace, you can definitely sit in this position." Rushui's eyes were just looking at the mahogany carved chair. For a moment, his feet seemed to weigh a lot.

I can't take that step!

Master Yuxuan quietly looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distant mountains without moving, without any intention of urging him.

The bright moon swam out of the clouds and disappeared into the fog. It had entered and exited several times, but the two graceful figures on the Wangxing Tower had not changed at all.

It wasn't until the moon set that the ice on Wangxing Tower quietly melted.

The cigarette-smoking model sat down in the chair, still as calm as water and said: "Thank you, Master, for giving me a seat."

Master Yuxuan finally showed a smile. She was graceful and pure. If placed in troubled times, her appearance would be enough to overwhelm all living beings. Originally, her smile could not make everything eclipse, but it was enough to make the building shine, but

The lingering bitterness at the corner of his lips made this magnificent Star-Zhaing Tower feel desolate and cold.

"Hanyan, when I was your age, Master Ziyu, who was in charge of Danyuan Palace, told me to revitalize Danyuan Palace at all costs..."

Han Yan was slightly surprised, and he looked up at Master Yuxuan.

Master Yuxuan paused for a moment, then continued: "Back then, I made great progress in cultivating the Taoism. After entering the Taoism Sect, for ten years, no one could surpass me. At that time, I always thought that the Taoism was nothing but an external thing.

The power is enough to revive Danyuan Palace. I still thought so until the time when Master Ziyu handed over the responsibility of taking charge of Danyuan Palace to me fifteen years ago before his death. But in these fifteen years, I

Only then did I understand what it means to have limited manpower, and what it means to be on the road that is difficult. I worked so hard that I even missed my own cultivation, but Danyuan Palace went from bad to worse."

Hanyan hurriedly said: "Master, why should you worry too much? By the time of next year's annual exam, Li Xuanzhen and the other three people will surely have reached a higher level. By then, the disciples will have no rivals in the Heavenly Saint Realm and will definitely be able to win for Master."

If I take the first place in the examination in one year, I should be able to surpass Taichang Palace."

Master Yuxuan sighed softly and said: "What's the use of taking nine first places? These are just false names. Once the disciples who are admitted at the age of 10 show their skills, no matter whether they win or lose, the masters of each palace will be

I can see it clearly. In fact, the annual examination is not about the disciples, but the real people in each palace and channel. Over the years, the strength of each palace and channel has waxed and waned. The strong ones have become stronger, and the weak ones have become weaker. At this time, my palace has actually

The situation is in dire straits, and if there is no great opportunity, ZTE may have no hope of revival."

Hanyan seemed to sigh quietly, and then said: "This disciple's knowledge is still shallow, and he doesn't understand the waxing and waning of the various palace channels. But since Hanyan is a disciple of Danyuan Palace, what the master ordered, Hanyan

I will definitely try my best.”

Master Yuxuan sighed again and said, "Hanyan, I have used my Huanmeng Nishang, and you are teaching with Ji Ruochen, so close to each other. It has been several months, but why is Ji Ruochen still so distant from you?"

Hanyan lowered his head in silence and said for a long time: "This... Hanyan doesn't know. Maybe it's not just fate that makes two people happy, but they can reach the same destination by different paths if they do it intentionally. It's just... it's just... they're far away, I'm afraid

He didn't understand what it meant. As he got closer, he was afraid that what he got easily was not a treasure, but that he would have to throw it away after a long time and find another one. Han Yan really didn't know how to measure this, and he had to ask his master.

Guidance.”

Her question immediately stunned Master Yuxuan. Master Yuxuan had been cultivating since childhood and had devoted himself to Taoism for decades. His spiritual consciousness was as pure as jade, and it was spotless. For her, such a happy relationship between two people was

It is really three points more difficult than becoming an ascension. If Han Yan doesn’t know, how can Yu Xuan know?
