Gu Qingshan led Xiu Xiu all the way over, talking to her constantly to relieve her nervousness.
"Look, that shop specializes in selling talismans."
"This is a place where weapons are forged. The big man with his shirt off is a blacksmith."
"There is an alchemy stove at the door of this house. They sell elixirs."
"On the left, yes, in the spiritual food shop on my left, there is a snack called candied haws that is very delicious - Boss, give me a candied haws."
As she said that, Xiuxiu had a candied haws stuffed in her hand.
Especially delicious? Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment, then gently licked the candied haws.
Yeah, very sweet.
She ate happily.
Gu Qingshan saw a place and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Come on, Xiu Xiu, come on."
"Brother, what happened?" Xiu Xiu became nervous again.
"Did you see that? It's a store opened by the Spiritual Beast Sect. There are many weird spiritual beasts. Let's go and have a look!"
"Wow, is there a crane? I like cranes!"
"Yes, I have."
"Then let's go quickly."
The head deacon couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched the two of them dash away.
No one who came to take the exam was nervous and frightened. It was rare to find them so relaxed.
How you perform in the annual examination is directly related to whether you can join a sect, what kind of sect you can join, and how you are treated in the sect.
Even some disciples of the sect who had made reservations in advance were equally nervous.
——What should I do if my performance is not good? What to do if you lose to those latecomers?
If I perform particularly well, will other better sects rush to get me?
Everyone thinks so.
Therefore, in the entire Weishan Town, the roads were filled with monks waiting to be tested who were walking fast and looking heavy and worried.
As for the two people in front of me, they are not trying out next year. They are clearly here for fun.
The head deacon waited for a while and then saw the young man leading the little girl out of the spirit animal shop.
There was a faint smile on the boy's lips, but the little girl had already thrown away her nervousness, her face flushed with excitement.
"Brother, what are we doing now?" Xiuxiu asked.
"Rest for a while, and when the time comes, go to the Heavenly Palace."
After Gu Qingshan finished speaking, he nodded apologetically towards the head deacon.
The steward led them to an inn to rest.
The two settled down, and Xiu Xiu was obviously closer to Gu Qingshan than before, pulling him to ask many questions about his practice.
Gu Qingshan also talked about everything he knew.
Noon arrived soon. The two took out the dry food made by Qin Xiaolou and used it. After washing themselves briefly, they closed their eyes and began to meditate and adjust their breath.
About an hour later, bursts of thunder came from the sky outside.
Later, someone shouted again from everywhere.
"The time has come!"
"Everyone, please get going!"
"It's about to start, you can come out!"
The monks quickly started to move, gathering in groups, and then walked out.
"Senior brother?" Xiuxiu opened her eyes and looked at Gu Qingshan.
"Let's go too." Gu Qingshan smiled.
The two of them followed the crowd and walked all the way to the top of Mount Wei.
This place has long been transformed into a large square, with monks, casual cultivators and warriors to be selected standing densely in it, making buzzing discussions.
After a quarter of an hour, someone suddenly came from the sky and shouted loudly: "Twenty breaths later, the Heavenly Palace will appear. Please prepare to ascend to the Heavenly Palace."
After hearing this, the crowd gradually became quiet, and everyone was ready to go, just waiting for the opportunity to come.
"Senior Brother, what is the Heavenly Palace they are talking about? Second Senior Brother said there is thunder, is thunder coming?" Xiu Xiu suddenly asked out of curiosity.
"You will know after seeing it." Gu Qingshan did not tell her.
As he said this, he motioned to Xiuxiu to cover her ears, and he did the same.
At this time, a thunder exploded from the sky, and the deafening sound made many people cover their ears.
A person standing next to Gu Qingshan sneered and said: "If you don't practice hard, you can't even resist the sound. Alas, the monks of this generation are really not as good as ours."
Gu Qingshan rolled his eyes and was too lazy to argue with him.
This is not an ordinary thunder sound, but thunder from the divine realm. It is heard in the ears, but it acts on the soul. It is quite powerful, and no one who has transformed into a god can resist it.
Covering the ears is the simplest and most effective method.
If there is no resistance at all, the soul may be damaged.
Sure enough, after the thunder, a voice sounded next to the man: "Brother, why do you have a nosebleed?"
The man wiped his nose nonchalantly and said, "Huh, I practiced too hard last night, and my realm has improved today, so my meridians are bleeding."
Blood flow through the meridians...
Fortunately for Gu Qingshan, he had experienced a lot and would get over it after hearing it, but Xiuxiu couldn't hold back.
Before Xiuxiu went out, not only her master, but also several senior brothers warned her about dangerous matters, so she knew everything about the divine thunder.
The other party's words were too clear (pretending to be weird), and she was just a child, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The man immediately stopped and glared over, saying, "Little girl, why are you laughing?"
As he said that, he walked over here.
Gu Qingshan subconsciously looked behind Xiuxiu and said, "Why, no one is allowed to laugh?"
The man hummed and said: "You are also following your elders to take part in the annual examination, don't meet me, otherwise I will make you look good."
Gu Qingshan released his spiritual thoughts and swept him up and down.
The spiritual power of the first level of Qi refining fluctuates.
Gu Qingshan shook his head, unable to even get angry.
Seeing that he was silent, the man thought he had won and turned back proudly.
The people around looked at Gu Qingshan with disdain.
This young man doesn't dare to reply with a harsh word, so this is how he practices?
Xiuxiu tugged at Gu Qingshan's clothes.
Gu Qingshan turned around and saw Xiuxiu quietly saying: "Senior brother, why don't you teach him a lesson? If the second senior brother was here, he would have taken action long ago."
Gu Qingshan touched her head and said: "Master said, we want to come and come back safely this time, why are we causing trouble?"
"Besides," Gu Qingshan sighed, "He's too weak. I'm really afraid that I can't control the strength well."
Xiuxiu was stunned, and suddenly remembered the scene when Qin Xiaolou was knocked into the sky by Gu Qingshan's sword.
Qin Xiaolou is still in the middle stage of foundation building.
Xiu Xiu nodded sympathetically.
The two people covered their ears and listened to the divine thunder of the heavens again for a while.
Finally, the world calmed down.
The dark clouds dispersed, and a palace suspended in mid-air appeared in the sky.
One glance at the palace makes people involuntarily feel respectful.
There are statues of gods guarding the four corners above the palace. The glazed tiles are carved with more than ten kinds of mythical beasts such as dragon, phoenix, fish, bullfighting, suanni, chiki and so on.
In front of the palace, there is an arched four-sided platform with drums, tables, pens, and scrolls in front of the platform.
Under the four-sided platform, there is an open square, tightly surrounding the palace.
Even after countless years of ups and downs, this palace still exudes an aura of supreme majesty.
Unfortunately, it seemed to have been destroyed by some huge force, and half of the building was missing.
Only half of this heavenly palace remains.
It floats silently in mid-air, showing its incomplete body to the world, as if it is telling people something.
"Go to the Heavenly Palace!"
A majestic voice came from the monks in front.
