There were quite a few people stopping in front of the Zhengming Stone Tablet. It was probably because the Zhengming Conference was about to start, so during these days, many people came to the Zhengming Building to receive the Zhengming Token.
There was a huge flow of people in front of Zhengming Tower, and there were heads everywhere.
Even though Zhou Xiaofeng was quite familiar with this place, he could only take Ye Shu and Ruan Hongyi to line up outside.
Unknowingly, half an hour passed.
More and more people poured into Zhengming Tower. Ye Shu and others were pinched by many people and could only move forward slowly.
At the back, there were a few noisy noises from time to time, as if they were jockeying for a seat, but in the middle or in the front, no one was doing so - because they probably couldn't move, and if anyone wanted to fight, there would probably be a blockage, which would get in the way. .
A full two hours passed before Ye Shu actually saw the gate of Zhengming Tower.
The three of them walked in quickly and saw a maid hurried over and said, "Are you here to be tested?"
Ye Shu said "yes".
The maid quickly took them to one side, where there was a small room. She also quickly explained: "After entering, there will be two seniors waiting to test their cultivation and music cultivation respectively. After passing, you can receive the token. . You must remember to tell where you signed up and your name..."
Ye Shu quickly wrote down what she said. After pushing open the door of the small room, the maid hurriedly went out to guide others, while Ye Shu asked Zhou Xiaofeng to wait outside and walked in with Ruan Hongyi.
·
As expected, there were two people in the small room.
There is a man and a woman. The man is tall and carries a long knife. The woman is graceful and has a long piano in front of her.
Seeing Ye Shu and Ruan Hongyi, the man quickly looked at them and said, "Come on, let me see what you are capable of." He quickly explained the rules, "The monk will fight with me first. Hands, and then it will be played by Yin Xiu and my beloved wife, and soon it will be about your tacit understanding."
Ye Shu nodded slightly: "Thank you, two seniors."
The person being assessed here, the male cultivator is actually a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, and although his wife is a Foundation Establishment practitioner, she also has the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. It is appropriate to call them seniors.
Ruan Hongyi opened her mouth slightly and breathed slowly.
In her heart, she was quite nervous... It was not a cultivation that she had devoted herself to. Apart from being vain, it was difficult for her to have the self-confidence of a true foundation-building monk.
Especially when facing such extreme pressure, I feel even more nervous.
Ye Shu glanced at Ruan Hongyi with a calm look.
After meeting Ye Shu's gaze, Ruan Hongyi felt a chill in her head and calmed down.
Seeing the two of them like this, the two monks looked at each other and made a "please" gesture.
Ye Shu stood still, and the male cultivator stood up and stood opposite him.
The male cultivator said: "You take action first."
Ye Shu was also unambiguous. He slightly raised his right palm. In the palm of his hand, blazing fire suddenly bred, making the space around his palm seem to be distorted by the heat. Immediately, he struck out with a palm, and at the moment of striking out, the palm of his hand changed rapidly and turned into more than ten palm prints, attacking the male cultivator from all directions!
When the male cultivator saw this, his eyes were slightly surprised, and he was very surprised by the power of this palm.
He grabbed it with his backhand, and the long knife he carried behind his back appeared in his hand. However, because his cultivation level was higher, he did not pull out the knife. Instead, he took the scabbard and pointed at these people. The palm print slashed through.
Ye Shu's eyebrows were calm, but his palm skills were completely different from his temperament. His steps were very fast, and in an instant he was facing the male cultivator's scabbard for dozens of rounds. The male cultivator seemed to be happy to see the hunt, and He didn't stop, but after hitting it again, Ye Shu stepped back and stood still.
"Senior, please take action."
The male cultivator was a little embarrassed, but put the knife back: "No need, your palm technique is very powerful, and you are indeed qualified to compete with me and many geniuses in the Ming Mansion." He turned to look at his beloved wife with a teasing smile and said, "Chanchan, it's your turn."
The female cultivator raised her slender eyebrows and nodded gently towards Ruan Hongyi: "I'll play first, you resist."
Ruan Hongyi took a deep breath, took out the piano and said, "Yes."
The female cultivator smiled, her slender fingers fell on the strings, and gently plucked - "Zheng."
This sound was different from the ones Ye Shu had played before. It was quite smooth, like continuous rain, delicate but like a dense net, densely covering Ruan Hongyi.
Ruan Hongyi subconsciously plucked the strings and played the music that Ye Shu taught her.
In an instant, a long piano sound sounded, like a crescent moon, bursting out and cutting towards the dense network.
In just a moment, the dense net seemed to have been cut with a small opening, and more notes flowed out from it, just like a leading fish charging forward with a mighty school of fish. The small opening quickly expanded, as if it could not be stopped. .
But then, a larger net came over, and as the female cultivator slowly twisted it, the notes became denser, and more nets were actually woven, covering it layer by layer.
Although the fish school is very united, among these countless fishing nets, every time one breaks through, more nets rush in, gradually trapping the fish school, and each fish is caught in the net and left behind. Those trapped animals are still fighting, but no matter how flexible they are, they can't go any further, let alone completely compete for the capture of the fishing net.
Ruan Hongyi's forehead was beaded with sweat. However, her attainments in music cultivation were far inferior to that of this female cultivator. Her fingers trembled slightly, and when she played the notes, each sound became more difficult...
Finally, her fingers pressed on the strings and could no longer pluck.
Ruan Hongyi raised her eyes with a wry smile.
I don’t know if it passed or not...
But the female cultivator smiled slightly: "He is indeed a music cultivator. Although he is very raw in the meaning and rhyme, he is quite clever when listening carefully. It's just that his understanding seems to be insufficient, and he feels that he is missing the mark. Otherwise, just relying on this meaning and rhyme, You won’t be trapped here by the sound of my piano.”
When Ruan Hongyi heard this, she knew that this senior was much smarter than herself. However, she felt more helpless... Naturally, she was scratching the surface. The score and meaning of this piece were not hers, but Master Ye's teachings. She had only scratched the surface of how she could play it. Different from other musical instruments, the meaning and rhyme of the music are all realized by oneself, which is naturally more profound.
After sighing, Ruan Hongyi stood up and bowed.
She knew that although this senior pointed out her shortcomings, it also proved that she was indeed a music practitioner.
At this time, the male cultivator said again: "Look at the tacit understanding between you two."
The female cultivator pointed at Ye Shu and said, "You will practice first." Then she pointed at Ruan Hongyi, "You come and play to encourage him."
The male cultivator said: "I will attack you two during this period. Chanchan will help me and let's see how well you two can avoid it."
Ye Shu and Ruan Hongyi both nodded.
Just give it a try.
This is a real battle with the help of Yin Xiu. You can see how well they understand each other.

The male cultivator and the female cultivator looked at each other and smiled. The female cultivator raised her hand slightly, with her fingertips on a string. The male cultivator also immediately took out the sword. The sword was still unsheathed and his cultivation was suppressed, but he himself was a golden elixir after all. The momentum is particularly different.
Ye Shu also took action. He still used the Three Yang Palm and quickly attacked the male cultivator.
At the same moment, the female cultivator played a note, which landed on the male cultivator's "blade". The male cultivator's sword energy suddenly increased several feet, and its power immediately increased a lot.
Ye Shu was keenly aware of the difference, and Ruan Hongyi also played the piano, but several notes came out at the same time, making the heat in Ye Shu's palm force even stronger, turning the surrounding area into a fiery place.
The sword energy and the palm power collided with each other. The sword energy was insufficient due to the separation of the scabbard. The gain it received was far greater than the palm power. The palm power was so hot that it was also somewhat inspired. After the two collided, they emitted a violent The tremors hit all directions.
However, the two of them attacked each other with more than just one blow. The male cultivator stepped forward and struck again. Ye Shu also changed his body skills. The female cultivator followed the male cultivator closely. Every time his body shape changed, she could place her body on the ground. Ruan Hongyi also cooperated with Ye Shu where the male cultivator's sword light could protect him. Although his body skills were insufficient, he still tried his best to follow. Occasionally he couldn't dodge and would be stained a little, but generally he was cooperative. Get on.
After about dozens of rounds, the male and female cultivators stopped, and so did Ye Shu and Ruan Hongyi.
The male cultivator's face showed some contemplation: "The cooperation between you two..."
The female cultivator was much more straightforward: "It's just like the sound cultivator playing away, feeling a little bit out of step."
The male cultivator then said: "It's fashionable to face ordinary opponents, but if you meet a master, it will be difficult for the Yin cultivator to cooperate."
Of course Ruan Hongyi also understood that this was exactly the reason for his own incompetence.
Ye Shu didn't care. For him, trustworthy people were more important than people who could help him. Music cultivation is not so much a boost as it is a necessary discipline to participate in the debate.
Finally, the female cultivator said: "Although my words don't sound nice, it would be better for me to go to the Wanyin Pavilion to find a music cultivator to cooperate with me. If this girl works hard, it would be fine to come back next time. Or maybe, this girl Find another monk who can cooperate with us to argue together and have a little experience..."
The male cultivator agreed very much: "I can give you the dispute token. After that, you can still participate together, or you can change your companions... As long as one of you is here, you can use this token. If the other person wants to participate, Let’s find other suitable partners and pass the exam.”
After making the suggestion, the two of them didn't hesitate and happily gave them a dispute token and recorded their images into it.
Ye Shu took the token and left with Ruan Hongyi.
·
Outside Zhengming Building, Ye Shu took Ruan Hongyi and Zhou Xiaofeng and prepared to go back to the inn.
Not far away, suddenly, a female voice sounded suspicious: "Is this...Junior Sister Ruan?"
Ye Shu and others stopped and looked there.
I saw a male cultivator striding forward with his head held high, and a female cultivator clinging to his side. A few steps away, there was another female cultivator with a long flute hanging from her waist. She was not as beautiful as the clinging female cultivator, but she was obviously a music cultivator. .
Ruan Hongyi also recognized this person: "Senior Sister Sun."
This beautiful female cultivator was from the same Ziyu Tower as Ruan Hongyi.
Moreover, it was with her who "came out of the cabinet".
