In the war in the same realm, the monks of the Liang Dynasty were almost at a disadvantage compared with the monks outside the Fang Dynasty. There were many reasons for this, not only the method of cultivation. The sects of the monks outside the Fang Dynasty had been passed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and their heritage was far-reaching. Much deeper than the Liang Dynasty.
The Daliang Dynasty had many warriors and few monks, which was already a natural deficiency. Therefore, in every Wanliu Hui, the rankings of the Daliang Dynasty monks were not very good, and it was not the first time that they were ridiculed by monks from outside the country.
Chen Chao sighed with emotion: "This time I will be embarrassed at home."
This time the Wanliu Hui was held in the capital of the gods. If the Liang Dynasty could not produce any good performance, it would naturally be unjustifiable, but other things were fine. Now this practice was not good in the past, but is it good now?
Xie Nandu bit off the last half of the sweet potato, threw the peel into the furnace, and then said: "If possible, no one wants to be embarrassed. In fact, as early as ten years ago, many people in Shendu were preparing for this day. They wanted to come here. The results will be better this time, but it is still difficult to win the top spot first.”
Chen Chao rubbed his head, then went to get a sweet potato and put it on the stove, and then said softly: "So a guardian envoy who suddenly appeared has a fairly thoughtful mind and a good state of mind. Naturally, there is some hope."
Xie Nandu nodded slightly and said after a moment of silence: "According to the rules of previous years, the academy and Tianyuyuan will naturally send people to participate. As for the other aristocratic families, if they have outstanding descendants, they will also be recruited, plus the guarding envoy yamen, In fact, there are quite a few people.”
Chen Chao asked: "How many places are there?"
Xie Nandu said: "In previous years, there were only eight, but now there are ten."
Chen Chao did not ask. He naturally knew that since it was held in the capital of the gods this year, there would naturally be some differences.
"The Wanliu Society is the largest gathering of young monks in the world. Although it is not as lively as in previous years, there are still many people participating. It will last for a month."
Xie Nandu was thinking about something and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, it's not just about fighting."
Chen Chao said: "I don't like fighting either."
Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao in surprise and had some thoughts in his heart.
Chen Chao said helplessly: "I am good at killing monsters, but they are not monsters. I can't just come up and kill them as monsters, right? I just killed a few Qi Masters before, and now I am very scared."
"Speaking of which, it's because you killed four Qi Refiners with one against four, and Guo Xi among them is still a famous person among the younger generation of Southern Qi Refiners, so now many people in Shendu are Looking at you, I think you know what they want."
Xie Nandu smiled and said: "Originally, holding the Ten Thousand Willows Meeting in the Capital of Gods was already a big deal. Now that you have caused such a big incident, what will the monks outside the country do? This matter is really a bit subtle now. .”
"Everything has been done. Don't worry about the debt. Don't worry about it." Chen Chao stretched out his hand to turn over the sweet potato. He became more and more skilled at doing this kind of thing.
Chen Chao suddenly frowned and said, "Don't you want to participate too?"
Although Xie Nandu is now a monk, he has just entered the first level and his level is low. What's the use of joining the Wanliu Society?
Xie Nandu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with some displeasure: "You think I can't win?"
Chen Chao thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm just not sure what Wan Liu will compete with."
Xie Nandu said: "Of course it won't all be about fighting."
Chen Chao did not ask for the specific content, but just smiled and said: "Then I wish you keep winning."
While they were talking, some wind started blowing into the courtyard. This was the last spring breeze, so the two of them fell silent and did not speak immediately. Chen Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I am in the prison of Dali Temple. After staying for more than half a month, let alone the spring breeze, I didn’t even get to see a few glimpses of the sun.”
There was silence for a long time.
Xie Nandu said: "It won't be long before you can hear the cicadas chirping."
Chen Chao asked: "Is your place very noisy in summer?"
The yard is on the lakeside. There are many trees on the lakeside. In summer, there will definitely be a lot of summer cicadas on them. When the time comes, the cicadas will sing, which may be a bit annoying.
Xie Nandu frowned and said, "We don't have to wait until summer. It's a bit noisy now."
Chen Chao was startled and looked up at the horizon. It was already late at night, and there was silence between heaven and earth. There was no noise.
Except myself.
He smiled bitterly.
Chen Chao said: "It seems that I shouldn't come to your place to hide from trouble."
Xie Nandu glanced at him and knew that he was thinking wrongly, but he didn't want to explain. He just said he was sleepy, got up and left.
Chen Chao looked at the roasted sweet potato left on the stove and didn't know what he was thinking.
…
…
The genius was bright, and there were many students from the academy by the lake. Many of them did not have morning classes, and they were greedy for the morning scenery by the lake, so they gathered early by the lake, especially at the small pavilion in the center of the lake. There are many students.
In fact, the reason that made them get up early and even abandon the lectures given by the masters in the academy and gather at the lakeside was not the morning scenery, but a story from the past few days.
It only took a very short time for the Xie girl, who had attracted much attention since she entered the academy, to become a close disciple of the dean. In this short story, there is another thing that makes the academy students look forward to it. An even more ridiculous plot was that before the girl from the Xie family became the dean's close disciple, she met the dean by chance by the lake, and then became his disciple.
After this incident came out, many academy disciples lamented the luck of the Xie girl, but they ignored the root cause.
Since then, there have been more and more students in Lakeside. Although everyone knows that the dean has now accepted all the 72 students he has wished for in his life, they still think that maybe one day the dean will change. The idea was to recruit the seventy-third disciple in addition to the seventy-two disciples.
But most people in the world are like this, they only believe what they want to believe.
Even if there is little hope.
Among the crowd, Huang Zhi's figure was very conspicuous. He got up in a hurry early in the morning. He was different from the other students here. He didn't come to meet the dean by chance, nor did he come to see the morning scenery. He was so I got up early just to see that girl.
Now he has become a famous figure in the academy, not only because he came out on top in several debates, but also because of his deep love for the Xie girl. Although many academy students laughed at him behind his back at the beginning, after this period As time passed, he was so persistent that many college students gradually developed a liking for him, especially the female students, who felt that he was infatuated.
Over time, Huang Zhi's reputation in the academy has become loud and clear.
I heard that a master already wanted to accept him as his disciple.
Passing by the crowd, Huang Zhi and Guo Fengjie headed straight towards the small courtyard by the lake. Guo Fengjie was sleepy-eyed and had been dragged up by Huang Zhi early in the morning. He was already in a bad mood, but now he saw his friend walking like this. So quickly, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Huang, this is happening every day. You know what that girl is thinking, why don't you give up?"
Huang Zhi kept walking, but just smiled and said: "Fengjie, do you know that people don't always have the same idea every day? I won't change my mind. No matter how hard-hearted Miss Xie is, I'm afraid she will be touched. If you are really willing to be with me, If you meet me, then she will know who I am, and everything will go smoothly by then."
Guo Fengjie was speechless for a moment, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Then I hope everything will be like what Brother Huang said, where sincerity leads to gold and stone."
Huang Zhi shook his head and said, "Miss Xie is nothing but gold and stone."
Guo Fengjie smiled faintly and said nothing more.
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the small courtyard by the lake, which once again attracted many people to watch.
Guo Fengjie's face turned red, but he still couldn't deal with it calmly. However, Huang Zhi, not for the first time, ignored the lakeside students and shouted loudly: "Nanxing Huang Zhi, I'm here to pay a visit to Miss Xie!"
After speaking, Huang Zhi was prepared not to open the courtyard door. He was about to speak again when he suddenly heard the courtyard door creak.
opened?
Huang Zhi lost consciousness for a moment, and his eyes instantly became moist.
In the past few days, no matter how he shouted outside the door, the door had never been opened, but today, the door was opened?
why is that?
Could it be that all the hard work I have done over the past few days will be rewarded today?
Huang Zhi couldn't believe what was happening now.
The next moment, will I be able to see Miss Xie here?
He was a little excited, but also a little nervous.
But the next moment, all his expectations turned into disappointment.
Even angry.
Because although the door was opened, the girl who pushed it out was not the girl he had been thinking about.
But a young man in black shirt.
There was a knife hanging on his waist, and he looked at Huang Zhi in front of him with his eyes. After a moment, he said with relief: "It turns out that you are the cicada of spring."
