Chapter 160 Climbing the Peak


Chapter 160 Climbing the Peak

The young men and women who stepped into the courtyard were Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun.

The two rested for the night, regained some energy, and used the Tianyin Technique, which was the best way to disguise themselves so that Cui Zhi and other Yunshan Sword Sect people in the courtyard could not see anything strange.

Xie Yuan glanced over, and the person in charge happened to be Cui Zhi, the deacon of the outer sect of Yunshan Sword Sect who had been to Yunzhao before. He was sitting behind a big table in the center of the courtyard, and two people stood next to him. The two disciples who attacked him were Lin Cheng and Lin Zhen.

The brother and sister were both wearing the clothes of the outer disciples of the Sword Sect at this time. They had obviously passed the examination first and became official disciples of the Sword Sect.

Seeing the two of them holding their heads high, Xie Yuan couldn't help but be happy for them. After joining the Sword Sect, regardless of whether they could avenge their clansmen in the future, at least the two of them looked full of hope, which was much better than the hatred they had not long ago.

The Lin brothers and sisters nodded kindly when they saw the two new applicants looking over. After all, not long ago, they were the same people, and now they share the same tension.

These two are just a coincidence. It is not a surprising coincidence. The person behind is what makes Xie Yuan a little unexpected.

A prince-like figure with a jade belt around his forehead and a brocade robe and gorgeous clothes was standing not far away, looking at him with interest.

Although he was dressed differently from other Sword Sect disciples, the silver spikes on his sword showed that it was the Yunshan Sword Sect's standard long sword, and he was obviously a member of the Sword Sect.

Xue Yanwen, the crown prince of Yunshan County, and Xie Yuan once met with Situ Qin at his banquet.

Well, his father's fiefdom is Yunshan County. I heard that he is named the outer sect of Yunshan Sword Sect, so it is not surprising to appear here...

Situ Qin said that this person He likes to have fun and be lively, and he seems to be a very typical second generation ancestor. At the same time, he never gets into big trouble. He is actually a much smarter person than he looks.

Xue Yanwen’s father, Xue Zhizuo, was a genuine martial arts master. The emperor placed Xue Zhizuo’s fiefdom in Yunshan, and Xue Zhizuo allowed Xue Yanwen to join the outer sect of Yunshan Sword Sect. There is a lot of meaning inside. The relationship between the imperial court and the sect has always been complicated and tight.

Xue Yanwen is here, mostly just for a reason to watch the excitement. Seeing what kind of talents the Sword Sect has recruited is probably the most important thing.

Seeing Xue Yanwen looking at him with scrutiny and interest, Xie Yuan looked away, but he didn't expect him to see the clues.

His Sky Hidden Technique has reached the point where he can sneak into the body of the Grandmaster who is fully vigilant in battle. Even if he does not use his full strength, he is not afraid that the Grandmaster and below will see any flaws.

"Then Mr. Deacon Lao."

Xie Yuan took the scene in the courtyard into his heart, bowed his hand towards Cui Zhi, and stepped forward together with Mu Chaoyun.

Cui Zhi nodded and asked:

"Which one of you goes first? Or..."

To his surprise, the woman stepped forward first, stretched out her hand, and revealed a white wrist.

Cui Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking that the man who had been talking was the one in charge and that he would come first, but he didn't expect that it was this girl?

Moreover, why does she seem to be so proficient in this process that she reaches out her hand without having to say anything?

Well prepared...

Cui Zhi nodded gently and placed his hand on Mu Chaoyun's forearm through his sleeve, as quietly as a doctor checking his pulse.

Mu Chaoyun's face suddenly showed a look of pain, and he bit his lips tightly, but did not make a sound.

She frowned, and beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead, rolling down her cheeks and dripping on the table. But her body was stable and her expression was tenacious, unmoving.

Cui Zhi's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, while the others were slightly moved. After a whole morning of testing today, it was the first time he met someone who didn't scream, and she was a very slim girl.

Xie Yuan's expression also trembled a little. He looked at the test with squinted eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Miss Mu, don't be too exaggerated...

Can a method of testing the aptitudes of ordinary people in the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm make Mu Chaoyun, a master, sweat like rain in pain?

Even if she were injured again, with the strength of the Grandmaster's meridians, it would probably be no more than scratching an itch.

However, Mu Chaoyun's acting skills are very realistic. Except for Xie Yuan, an insider, people can't tell any clues about her and they think she is an ordinary person who is struggling to support herself.

Xie Yuan once saw her play Lin Zhen, and it was true that apart from her appearance and aura, she even spoke and acted the same.

This acting skill is not something that Tianyin Jutsu can bring, it is purely her talent.

Seeing Mu Chaoyun's affectation, Xie Yuan felt funny and stared at her, remembering her appearance.

He suddenly saw Mu Chaoyun's eyes glancing over slightly, with a hint of warning and embarrassment. He couldn't help but smile back, his face changed, and he showed a bit of insincere worry.

After a long while, Cui Zhi closed his hand, with a satisfied expression, and stroked his beard and said:

"The meridians are smooth, the bones are good, the qualifications are above average, you can enter our door. Not bad, not bad."
>


The Lin brothers and sisters next to them smiled, as a newcomer finally passed today; Xue Yanwen was very interested in hearing this comment, and looked Mu Chaoyun up and down, but did not react much.

Mu Chaoyun slightly cupped his hands and stood aside, making way for Xie Yuan.

Everyone else looked expectantly, thinking that since this woman has qualifications, her companions should be the same?

Cui Zhi stretched out his hand with hopeful eyes and put it on Xie Yuan's hand.

The next moment, a cry of surprise sounded.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts..."

As if being electrocuted, Xie Yuan withdrew his hand and shook it hard, with a pained expression on his face.

The Lin brothers and sisters are a little confused. Is this too fast? Didn't you just touch it?

Xue Yanwen chuckled:

“The one who has persisted the longest and the one who has persisted the shortest appear together, which is interesting.”

Cui Zhi was also stunned. Why did he feel that he hadn't exerted his strength yet, and this young man couldn't?

His eyes were strange. At the first touch, he clearly felt that this young man had good bones and was a good swordsman. But before he took a closer look, he couldn't hold on.

Looking at the people he has tested, no matter how poor their qualifications or their ambition, they have to endure it for a while and don't want to miss this opportunity. This one is good, so afraid of pain, it will break when touched, it is just like a porcelain doll...

Cui Zhi shook his head, Yunshan Sword Sect's first priority is the heart, this young man cannot do it.

Mu Chaoyun looked on coldly and subconsciously took a step back, trying to pretend that he didn't know this person. Tian Qingguo's improved physique was like a natural loser, but now he should be a spiritual genius, and there is no way he would be in pain.

Although this was the agreed upon plan, the acting was a bit poor, which made Mu Chaoyun look embarrassed.

As a master, Mu Chaoyun has her own means to allow Cui Zhi's detection to get the results she wants without exposing her true talent and strength;

Xie Yuan Suitian The hidden skill is still one level higher than hers, but if she wants to hide herself from the detection of entering the body, she can't rely on the hidden skill of the sky, so she has discussed this.

As for how to go up the mountain next...

Cui Zhiben directly wanted to say that Xie Yuan was not qualified and could leave first. Mu Chaoyun took the lead and said:

"He and I are childhood sweethearts and we are determined to go up the mountain together. Although he is not talented enough, he is very determined to pursue the truth. I heard that the handymen on the mountain also had the opportunity to learn martial arts. I recruited new disciples. I guess there must be a shortage of handymen. He is good at doing odd jobs and serving people. He has a sharp eye and is good at chopping firewood. I asked Mr. Deacon to let him go up the mountain with me and let him do some chores."

How determined is his determination...

But Cui Zhi saw Mu Chaoyun. He said it very sincerely, obviously from the bottom of his heart. He pondered for a moment, and for the sake of a rare disciple who passed the test, he nodded lightly.

At the same time, he was a little surprised. These two people seemed to have done a lot of homework. Maybe it wasn't the first time? He even knows about the handyman...

The first hurdle was passed. Cui Zhi then asked others to carefully inquire about their identities, check Lu Yin's household registration, and verify their identities, but there were no problems.

The identity of the two people was "borrowed" by someone using Tianyin Technique in the town. The origin of their costumes was obtained from them, just like how Mu Chaoyun played Lin Zhen back then. Guaranteed replacement.

After such review, the two of them have the preliminary qualifications to go up the mountain. As for the formal entry, they have to wait for the assessment later.

Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun looked at each other and stood in the corner waiting.

Seeing that Mu Chaoyun seemed to have quickly adapted to his new identity, acting much more naturally than himself, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up quietly:

"As expected of you, my mother said, beautiful women are good at lying."

When Mu Chaoyun heard what he said, his face heated up and his heart jumped a few times inexplicably.

Although her appearance has been praised since she was a child, and she has long ignored it, if I remember correctly, this is the first time Xie Yuan praised her... Well, usually she just likes to look at herself in a daze, so she said it out loud This is the first time.

Mu Chaoyun tilted his head slightly and remained silent, not caring that it seemed like it was not a good thing to say.

"You two, ah, I will call you Junior Sister from now on, congratulations!"

At this moment, Lin Zhen came forward and greeted with a smile.

Xie Yuan was startled for a moment, looking at Lin Zhen with an enthusiastic expression, his expression was extremely strange.

Ms. Lin, do you know what you are talking about... No, do you know who she is?

Mu Chaoyun's expression was calm, and he showed a simple smile that suited his character:

"Hello, senior sister."

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up when he saw Mu Chaoyun being so arrogant, and he became very interested. It seemed that he was very interested in becoming a senior sister right after he started, so he kept pulling Mu Chaoyun to chat;

But Mu Chaoyun didn't move. Her voice, appearance, and appearance that she was in rapport with her, and just a few words made Miss Lin want to make her her confidant.

This...is not appropriate...

Looking at this scene, Xie Yuan hesitated and wanted to stop him, but saw Mu Chaoyun glance at him lightly.

So he sighed, his face expressionless, and he looked at his nose and heart, pretending he knew nothing and saw nothing.

It was getting late, and the only ones who passed the customs today were Mu Chaoyun and Xie Yuan who went through the back door.

“Let’s go, I will take you up the mountain today.”

Cui Zhi said to the two of them with his hands behind his back.

Going out of the Jianzong Courtyard at the foot of the mountain, facing the envious looks of countless people outside, the two followed Cui Zhi and other Jianzong disciples along the road up the mountain and crossed the The Jianzong Mountain Gate that countless people dream of.

The mountain road is rugged, and there are countless steps of stone stairs that extend to the clouds. For ordinary people, it is difficult to reach the top like this, and it is obviously a test.

Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun were panting, sweating, exhausted, and gnashing their teeth at the right time, and then relied on perseverance to climb to a platform at the top of Near Yun Mountain, which is the main peak hall of the Yunshan Sword Sect.

Looking at the extremely wide and impressive square, Xie Yuan nodded secretly. It is indeed the first sect in Yunzhou. It is not easy to build such a large square on the top of this mountain.

Suddenly, he paused.

Cui Zhi watched all the way and was quite satisfied with the performance of the two. He was even a little surprised by Xie Yuan's performance.

But he didn’t think much about it and just introduced:

"This is the main peak hall, but as you can see, this is not the highest point.

"There is a back mountain behind the hall, which is the sect's forbidden area and a holy land. It is the legendary Jianfeng.

“Starting from the second generation of the Patriarch, countless seniors of the sect have learned profound sword skills there and left countless sword marks. If they enter the sect in the future and make great contributions to the sect, they will have the opportunity to go there. To realize the sword at the edge of the sword is the supreme honor and opportunity for our Sword Sect disciples."

Cui Zhi's tone was also a bit yearning. For him, a deacon with a certain status in the sect, this is such a blessing. Opportunities are also very much sought after.

He looked around and nodded:

"Now that we've reached the top and finished reading, let's go down. The outer gate is halfway up the mountain. I'm just taking you up here to have a look."

After he finished speaking, he got off the stone stairs first, but saw Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun The two of them didn't follow for a long time, and couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Come on, what are you doing standing still?"

Hearing Cui Zhi's greeting, Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun trembled at the same time. , like waking up from a dream.

They glanced at each other subconsciously, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

This feeling...

Xie Yuan couldn't help but touch the position of his left arm and remained silent.

The two black lotus petals there are burning.
