let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 108 Falling Sword Lake: Someone in Jiang broke the situation on the spot

……

See Gargamel run away.

Luo Yu glanced at Jiang Chaoge with some pity: "You should buy it. If you can pass the examination of Jixia Academy, what is 6000 taels of silver?"

"It makes sense, but I have no money." Jiang Chaoge said truthfully.

Not long ago, he did have 1 taels.

But I bought a Cai Wenji for 8000 taels, and then spent hundreds of taels for chartering the boat, leaving only about 800 taels of silver left.

3000 taels of treasure is really unaffordable.

"Stupid, wouldn't you ask me to borrow money if you don't have money? I have money!" After finishing speaking, Luo Yu added: "I thought the emperor's elder brother was looking for a smart person, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."

"..."

Jiang Chaoge didn't argue.

Because correcting a person's IQ is actually a very stupid thing to do.

……

Falling Sword Lake.

One of the three wonders of Jixia Academy.

The original rumor is that 400 years ago, when an immortal flew over the lake, he accidentally dropped a fairy sword in the lake, so it was named Luojian Lake.

Later, after Luojian Lake belonged to Jixia Academy, strange things happened more and more frequently.

What's strange about it is not the scenery around the lake, but that, over the course of 400 years, more and more swords have fallen into the lake for various reasons.

Therefore, there are at least a thousand swords in this lake now!

Luo Yu introduced the legend of Luojian Lake to Jiang Chaoge, and said with certainty: "Don't believe me, this princess also dropped a sword into it!"

"You dropped a handful too?" Jiang Chaoge was a little surprised.

"Yes, there seems to be an inexplicable power in Luojian Lake, which can confuse people's minds and make people want to put down the sword unconsciously." Luo Yu nodded.

"Only for swords?"

"Yes, so, this princess brought a gun here this time, am I very smart?" Luo Yu raised the extraordinary spear in his hand.

In terms of this point alone, it is indeed smart... Jiang Chaoge nodded, and continued: "Then why did you go to the lake? Did you go swimming?"

"No, there is an iron chain on Luojian Lake! Our assessment this time is to pass Luojian Lake on the iron chain, oh... By the way, you don't know yet!"

"Is there a chain?"

Soon, Jiang Chaoge saw the legendary Falling Sword Lake.

And that iron chain!

……

The entire Luojian Lake is like a green mirror.

The lake is shimmering and wide, and there are stones all over the lake, which looks like a lake formed by sinking in the middle of the rocks.

There are no flowing rivers and falling waterfalls around.

This is a quiet lake.

However, the water in the lake is very clear, and you can faintly see the dark bottom of the lake, with some white light shining, which should be the sword that fell into the bottom of the lake.

As for that iron chain...

It is tied to a stone pillar and hangs about a foot above the lake.

Jiang Chaoge could see that in front of the iron chain, dozens of disciples who participated in the assessment had already surrounded, and there were still many talented scholars and beauties standing on the shore of the lake watching.

Liu Hongyi, Cai Wenji and Liang Wan'er were also among them.

Moreover, several people waved to him.

However, Liang Wan'er's complexion...seemed to be a little uncomfortable, probably because of Jiang Chaoge's Luo Yu.

Jiang Chaoge waved to Cai Wenji.

"Hurry up, someone is already on the chain!"

Luo Yu pulled Jiang Chaoge up and walked towards the iron chain. At the same time, he fumbled on the ground to pick up a few stones.

Jiang Chaoge has not yet reacted.

He saw Luo Yu throwing a stone "swish" at a young man in a blue dress on the iron chain.

"Snapped!"

The blue man in strong clothes knocked down the stone with his palm.

He glared at Luo Yu fiercely: "He Fangxiao is young, how dare to sneak attack?!"

Luo Yu didn't understand him, but immediately threw the second stone out, and at the same time shouted loudly: "He is a vulgar martial artist, my Jixia Academy is the best in the world, how can we let a Wu Fu passed the examination? Let's smash him down together, so as not to damage the reputation of the school for thousands of years!"

"Wow!"

The students under the iron chain immediately came to their senses.

However, there are not many people who actually pick up stones, probably only three or four.

But none of the eight 'invigilators' wearing Confucian shirts standing in front of the chain had said anything.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Three or four people picked up the stones and threw them at the young man in blue clothes on the iron chain.

The young man didn't stay any longer, he just yelled "You despicable bastards!"

Then, he quickly walked forward stepping on the iron chain.

Not to mention...the speed is quite fast.

"Warrior of the Three Realms!"

Jiang Chaoge probably saw the strength of the young man.

Since he is a warrior, he must be above the third realm, because it is very unlikely for a warrior to win the top of the country test.

"Let him run away." The corner of Luo Yu's mouth twitched: "However, he was delayed for some time, and Wu Fu had no advantage in the last stage, so it can be concluded that he basically missed the top three."

"Aren't you afraid of his revenge?" Jiang Chaoge asked casually.

"What is there to be afraid of? This princess has a bunch of defensive treasures on her body, and stones can't hurt me at all." Luo Yu said confidently: "So, I will let you spend some money to buy two protective treasures? You must No, it’s too late to regret now.”

"..." Jiang Chaoge.

It is so! ! !

The real purpose of buying body protection treasures is not for assessment, but to prevent other people from sneaking behind them.

Jiang Chaoge seemed to understand... what he was going to face in this assessment.

……

After some operations by Luo Yu.

Those who want to climb the iron rope again begin to hesitate.

Dozens of people gave way one after another.

"Mr. Li, first please!"

"It's still Prince Wang, go first."

"..."

For a while, everyone stood still.

At this moment, Luo Yu said again: "Everyone, hurry up, if you don't go up... When the martial artist just passed this level, you will all lose."

In an instant, everyone woke up.

Yes, time is limited!
It is impossible to stay here all the time, whoever goes up first... will have the advantage, even if they have to face interference from everyone.

So soon a second person climbed up.

Of course, there are more people interfering this time.

A dozen or so people picked up the stone and ruthlessly threw it at the second person.

Luo Yu looked at this scene, and the corner of his mouth raised Lao Gao: "Hey, he still has a bad temper. If you provoke him casually, you will get anxious. How could such a person get into Jixia Academy?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a "plop!" sound of falling into the water.

This one seemed a little nervous.

Accidentally, he was hit in the head by a stone.

Tilting his head, he actually fell off the iron chain and fell directly into the lake.

"Assessment failed!"

A proctor, announced his results.

Jiang Chaoge can see that although Luo Yu is being taken advantage of, he is not as "unintelligent" as he imagined. On the contrary, Luo Yu is actually very familiar with the "rules".

So, he began to humbly ask Luo Yu for advice: "When did we start?"

"There is no rush for now." Luo Yu replied: "The assessment is mainly based on ratings, and this rating is mainly calculated from the time when you climb the iron rope. In other words, the overall time is not included in the assessment of ratings."

Jiang Chaoge heard it.

The real focus of the assessment is still the 'rating'. '

The total completion time will only be compared if the ratings are the same.

Grasping this key point... There is really no need to rush.

At least, should take another look!
was thinking...

A third person went up.

It is a young man dressed as a scholar.

"Snapped!"

The moment he went up, the scholar's feet slammed on the stone pillar.

With this powerful force...

His figure was like a sharp arrow off the string, and he shot out a distance of five steps at high speed.

The people below had no time to interfere with stones.

"Hahaha!"

The scholar was in mid-air, with a smile on his face: "You can't stop me!"

Then, kick...

Step on the air!

"thump!"

fell into the lake.

"..." Jiang Chaoge.

"..." Luo Yu.

"..." All the candidates and proctors.

……

"The one just now seems to be the head armor of the township examination in Baizhi County!"

"It's a pity, he just has bad eyesight, and his sense of balance is a little bit worse... he didn't step on the iron chain."

"Yeah, the method is still very good."

There was a lot of discussion.

Although the scholar who fell into the water failed the assessment, his method still aroused everyone's interest, paving the way for the latecomers.

So, people began to interview immediately.

A fourth climbed up.

Also a scholar.

"Look at me!"

The scholar was full of vigor, and as soon as he jumped up, he kicked towards the position of the stone pillar.

He is going to borrow the method of the previous one.

However, he seems to have underestimated the wisdom of crowds.

Because, the moment he was about to step on the stone pillar, everyone had already made a move in advance.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Whizzing!"

Stones flew through the air.

Hit the scholar's head.

Immediately, the scholar was thrown to the side, staggered, and almost fell straight down.

"Shameless, despicable!!"

He wanted to jump off the chain.

However, since it went up, there was absolutely no possibility of coming down again.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he braved the "hail of bullets" and rushed forward, no longer caring about stepping on the stone pillar.

Luo Yu laughed again: "What a fool, thinking that the same method can be used a second time? Hahaha...they are all so stupid!"

Jiang Chaoge did not speak, because he also expressed his agreement.

And at this moment, there was another sound of falling water in the distance.

"thump!"

It was the scholar who ran out under the "hail of bullets".

He didn't fall at the starting point, but at... the center of the lake.

Jiang Chaoge blinked, a little surprised.

Because, although this scholar failed in the "initial" stage, he actually didn't suffer any interference later on, so why did he fall into the lake?

Not only Jiang Chaoge, but also the other candidates were a little confused.

"What's going on? Is there any danger in the center of the lake?"

"But, the first martial artist who passed... seems to be fine?"

"Could it be that the legend is true?"

"What legend?"

"That can't tell you!"

"..."

No one is stupid enough to popularize science with their opponents.

The eight invigilators standing under the iron chain looked calm, as if they were not surprised by the scholar falling into the lake.

Jiang Chaoge looked towards the lake, where the scholar fell into the water.

At some point, there appeared a small boat with two students from the Academy standing on it.

The scholar who fell into the water has been rescued.

However, his eyes narrowed tightly, as if... fainted.

"It seems that you just entered the Confucianism realm, and you dare to pass Luojian Lake?" Luo Yu looked over with some contempt: "Too naive, do you really think that Jixia Academy is so easy to pass the exam?"

……

People who have just entered the Confucian realm, can't they pass Luojian Lake?
Jiang Chaoge frowned. He probably had some guesses. The center of Luojian Lake... might really have some kind of mysterious power.

For some reason, the "admission qualification" for this special ceremony came to mind in his mind.

[-]. Those who are on the list of national scholars.

[-].Those who are in the third realm or above.

[-]. Top performers in this year's provincial examination.

[-]. Those who belong to the royal family.

It seems that the conditions do not seem to be harsh.

Especially for the third and fourth articles, it can be said that there are a lot of people corresponding to them.

But actually?
Not at all.

Because, although Jiang Chaoge has also been included in the 'National Scholars List', his list was actually selected by the imperial pen himself, not by his 'cultivation'.

Ji Ruxue was on the national list because she is a great chess player in the four realms.

The white-clothed man in Xijing... is also a military strategist in the fourth realm, and has even begun to attack the fifth realm.

There is also Jiang Chenshui who participated this time, the number one genius among the younger generation of Taoists, and a Taoist of the four realms!

"In the past, to participate in the assessment of Jixia Academy, at least one had to pass the general examination and obtain the status of Jinshi! It can be said to have a very high reputation."

"Li Zeguang had already entered the first level of Confucianism before he took the provincial examination. Now that he has passed the general examination, he is estimated to have taken another step forward. When he is selected as a Jinshi next year in Chunwei, he should be at least the second level, and it is even possible. Reach the three realms!"

"Will Li Zeguang, who passes the general examination next year, be able to enter Jixia? Obviously, there are some difficulties, no... With Li Zeguang's talent and learning, it may only be possible if he is very lucky, otherwise, he would not come to the capital on purpose." Watch '."

Jiang Chaoge finally understood a little bit.

Among these four conditions, the third and fourth... are simply set up by the master on purpose. Only the first and second are actually eligible to participate in the assessment.

National scholar, or above three realms!

"It seems that the Luojian Lake and the Great Stone Forest in the first two levels can directly eliminate those who do not meet the requirements!"

……

the fifth!
sixth!
There is no doubt that they fell into the lake one after another.

Jiang Chaoge's guess was correct, to cross this Luojian Lake, one must reach at least three realms.

"Look, it seems to be Mengjia Qilang!"

"I heard that he is a military strategist in the four realms!"

"Really...really?"

There was a burst of discussion around.

Jiang Chaoge naturally looked at the young man who was about to step on the iron rope.

A military strategist from all over the world?

He always thought that only the national scholar Jiang Chenshui was in the Four Realms, but he didn't expect... there are more!
The young man was about 25 or [-] years old, and he looked a little rough, with a thick back and a hunchback, and some... whiskers.

At this moment, Luo Yu leaned over again: "Meng Jia Qilang 'Meng Xiao', a military strategist in the four realms, has reached the rank of 'Chief Commander' in the army, and I heard that he is about to be promoted to General Zuo."

Jiang Chaoge nodded. He now truly understands that these people are truly qualified candidates.

"Oh!"

Meng Xiao stepped on the pillar.

At the same time, stones immediately flew over like raindrops.

It doesn't seem that because he is Mengjia Qilang... other people will be soft!

On the contrary, everyone seems to work harder!

Especially Luo Yu!
Luo Yu directly took out a crossbow this time, and shot wildly at Meng Xiao.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three arrows arrived like the wind.

Meng Xiao didn't even look at it, and directly pressed his hand on his chest.

"boom!"

A huge momentum gushed out.

Around him, circles of turbulence like ripples appeared.

These turmoil directly blocked the flying stones and Luo Yu's arrows.

What's even more frightening is that Meng Xiao even took advantage of these impacts to rush forward, lightly tapped his toes on the iron chain, and he was already ten steps away in an instant.

"Damn it!" Luo Yu was furious, and immediately took Jiang Chaoge's hand: "Quick, do it quickly! Get rid of him... we can't let him rush over like this!"

"How to kill it?" Jiang Chaoge spread his hands.

"You...you don't really have entered Confucianism, do you?" Luo Yu looked at Jiang Chaoge in surprise.

"Yeah, didn't you already know that?"

"But that's not right. With your reputation, it's impossible that you haven't entered the country yet? Besides, my teacher specially asked me to follow you. Are you...really not in the Confucian realm?"

"Did your teacher ask you to find me?"

"Yes, do you want to ask who my teacher is?" After Luo Yu finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Chaoge's response, she immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't tell you."

"..."

Jiang Chaoge was really curious.

However, even if Luo Yu didn't say anything, he could actually guess it.

How many people can teach the princess and understand the rules of the Jixia Academy's assessment?
"Stop hiding, hurry up and show your true strength!" Seeing that Jiang Chaoge didn't speak, Luo Yu continued, "If you fall into the water, we'll be done playing together."

If I fall into the water, will we finish playing together?Jiang Chaoge was a little puzzled: "I fell into the water, will it affect you?"

"Of course." After Luo Yu finished speaking, she leaned closer: "Don't you really know why I asked you to be with me?"

"why?"

"Because I want to borrow strength from you!" After Luo Yu finished speaking, she seemed to be afraid that Jiang Chaoge would not understand: "I will use my treasures to block the attacks around me later, and you will concentrate on breaking the 'interference' in Luojian Lake. Let's walk the tightrope...now, do you understand?"

"Understood, but is it still possible?" Jiang Chaoge's eyes lit up.

"Of course it is possible. This method is something I have spent a long time looking for with my teacher. Originally, I was planning to go with Jiang Chenshui, but my teacher said that Jiang Chenshui would definitely reject my invitation, but you are different. You don't care about anything. I don't understand, so I came to find you."

"Your teacher...you are quite polite."

"Okay, don't dawdle, hurry up, can you do it?" Perhaps because Meng Xiao passed the lake, Luo Yu seemed a little anxious at this time.

"It's okay, just need to prepare a little bit."

"Ready? What are you going to prepare?"

"Prepare to break through!"

"Breaking... breaking the realm? You are only breaking the realm now?!"

"Correct!"
