Chapter XXXII

A thought of spring flowers, a thought of autumn leaves, and a thought of it is the midsummer day by day.

Lin Qing has been living for a year and a half, and he only feels that these three thoughts have passed.

The first thought was that he looked at the flowers at the bottom of the valley and talked to his grandfather about those beautiful things in time, which made people love it from the bottom of their hearts.

Grandpa nodded silently, knowing that the young man in front of him finally had appreciation.

The second thought is that he looked at the withered leaves on the mountain, and felt that everything in the world will always come to an end. Lin Qing looked at the gray-haired grandfather in front of him, worried.

Grandpa comforted him to come and go at will, and he was not shocked.

Time flies, and the white horse flies.

When Lin Qing came back to his senses from cultivation again, it was already his third year in the mountain. This thought has changed over time.

He still clearly remembers that summer three years ago, Agorin Jian took him to watch Xia Lun. Three years have passed, and I don't know how Agolin is doing now.

And the teenager in front of him, compared with three years ago, is a little more resolute and a little less immature.

The college's annual summer day is about to come again, and Lin Qing has been waiting for this day for three years.

Lin Qing asked his master Yuan Qingzi to help him sign up early, and today is the first day of Xia Lun. He was a little impatient, said goodbye to Grandpa, and rushed down the mountain.

Grandpa had no choice but to follow behind and shout: "Slow down!" The young man replied, "Got it." ”

Grandpa also had a kind face as before, but it seemed that the folds between his eyebrows were one more horizontal.

When Lin Qing came to the courtyard, the Shanmen Dojo was already full of disciples. When he saw this situation again, he didn't feel a hot breath churning in his body.

He felt a force, a blood deep in his heart.

Lin Qing heard a familiar bell, it was the picture he had been looking forward to for a long time. Every year in the middle of summer, he could hear the bell, and then he looked in the direction of the academy in a daze.

Lin Qing was immersed in this melodious bell, as if it was a beautiful piece of music.

The bell hits the ground, and the noise rises.

Lin Qing was also brought back by this noisy voice, and at this time, the disciples were walking towards four different opposites.

Lin Qing saw on the notice board that he was in Group B, so he walked towards the south.

Lin Qing entered the infield and stood still next to a huge stone pillar. Standing in this place for the first time, his heart was both excited and a little apprehensive.

After all, if you don't say hundreds of pairs of eyes staring, you will more or less feel like you are the focus.

However, Lin Qing was dressed like a disciple of the academy, so that no one deliberately paid attention to him.

Lin Qing collected his thoughts, calmed down, and waited for the duel to begin.

As the two bamboo slips flew in, the first duel began.

Lin Qing looked at the young man in the field, and couldn't help but think of himself back then. Back then, he was as tall as many teenagers in the audience, and his face looked full of immaturity.

He looked at those immature teenagers, and he felt more and more that he was an older brother. However, in the field, he was not more than two or three years early.

People sometimes like to misestimate themselves, such as their own cultivation or their own talents.

The two teenagers in the field were like this, as soon as they entered the field, they were arrogant and said cruel words to each other.

One wants to talk about the other party's fight all over the ground looking for teeth, and the other wants to talk about the other party's beating father and mother can't recognize it.

Lin Qing listened to the helplessness on his face, feeling like a little doll fighting in the countryside, and he only felt that the two of them were naΓ―ve.

The consequence of misestimating one's own strength is to cause laughter from the audience.

The two teenagers fought evenly on stage, but this move did owe some heat, and of course it didn't hurt to hit each other.

After nearly half an hour of competition, the winner was finally decided, and one side collapsed on the stage because of exhaustion. The other side won the duel by a narrow margin, and both sides were finally framed out.

Lin Qing finally managed to control himself from laughing out loud in the field, and he didn't know why he thought that such strength was so high-profile.

After a few rounds, Lin Qing finally heard his name.

Lin Qing was also low-key when he entered the field, standing still and not saying a word, he couldn't think of being ridiculed by everyone because he was too high-profile.

There are many disciples in the academy, maybe it is the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger. He didn't know what everyone's cultivation was, or whether it was the safest step at a time.

The young man standing opposite Lin Qing was obviously much more impetuous than Lin Qing. stared at him with an arrogant face, feeling a little contemptuous.

However, compared to the previous two teenagers, this teenager didn't say anything.

After several rounds of competition, Lin Qing probably figured out the opponent's cultivation, probably in the early stage of qi induction.

Lin Qing didn't use too much vitality in his body, and he kept it at a similar level with the other party.

In the end, Lin Qing defeated the other party by a slight advantage.

The old man announced the result, and the other party said with some disdain: "But that's it, I only used half of my skills to let you!" ”

After hearing this, Lin Qing had to shake his head helplessly and said, "Accept!" ”

After Lin Qing won, he went straight back to the back mountain, and there were still two days of duel behind, and he couldn't relax.

Although it is said that it is easier to win today, after all, he is a disciple with a low cultivation. Compared to those disciples who were extremely talented, the gap between these disciples was too great. Whether it's cultivation, or state of mind, or understanding of the mystic.

Lin Qing returned to Houshan and continued to practice, waiting for the second day to come.

……

……

On the second day, Lin Qing still went down the mountain early.

Compared to cultivation, participating in the duel of Xia Lu was Lin Qing's second happiest.

The disciples in the field today have obviously been reduced by half, and there are only dozens of people left to chat. But at the end of today's trial, there will only be two people left in each group. In other words, there may be more than one battle today, but this is a happy thing for Lin Qing.

The first opponent Lin Qing encountered was a teenager who was about to reach the middle stage of qi induction, and after yesterday's duel, Lin Qing left a certain impression on him. This young man should be an eightfold red Dao heart, and his talent is not bad, but his cultivation should be more than that, and he may not be particularly hard at cultivating on weekdays.

The young man on the opposite side seemed to have a slight impression of Lin Qing, and those who were able to hold on to the second day were more powerful than lucky.

As soon as the young man entered, he sealed his sword, and five flying swords stood on his chest.

Lin Qing confirmed the other party's cultivation and prepared to compete with the other party head-on. Lin Qing was also sealed, but after half a day, there was still no flying sword entering.

The young man in the audience was stunned at first, looking at Lin Qing who was in place, confused, and then everyone laughed.

Lin Qing summoned a lonely person in the same place, and the opponent was also a little stunned. Of course, Lin Qing himself was also a little embarrassed, and then scratched his head with an embarrassed face.

After a while, there was finally a reaction.

A flying sword flew into the arena and hung in front of Lin Qing, and then split into five. Only then did Lin Jian remember that he had left the wooden sword on the back mountain.

The young man on the other side also rebelled and did not make a move before Lin Qingjian arrived.

The two teenagers glanced at each other, and then the real duel began.

Lin Qing was also the same as yesterday, controlling his vitality and trying to maintain a similar level with his opponent.

The opponent took out the sword, and Lin Qing took out the sword.

The opponent urged the thoughts, and Lin Qing also urged the thoughts.

After two games, Lin Qing defeated his opponent in the same way and fought to the end.

And these two opponents were also beaten by Lin Qing to obey the suit, of course, in addition to the suit, there is also a trace of unhappiness. After all, Lin Qing is like a shadow, he does what others do.

The two opponents are slightly inferior to Lin Qing on the front, and whoever is pressed and beaten by the front will feel a little depressed.

In the end, Lin Qing stayed with another teenager in the late stage of qi induction. The boy was from a county in the northeastern part of Lanzhou named Guo Wei. The nine-fold purple Dao heart enters the mountain, and it can be said that he is talented.

At the end of the second day of the showdown, there was a lot of discussion in the academy. Those talented and intelligent disciples are bound to be sought after by the disciples.

For example, Liang Bo in Group A, Guo Wei in Group B, Zeng Sheng in Group C and Qin Yu in Group D, except for Guo Wei in this group, Lin Qing has never heard of any of these names. But Lin Qing didn't hear his name being talked about by everyone, but this was better, no one bothered him, he could ignore these trivial matters and deal with Xia Yan wholeheartedly.

However, in the midst of the discussion of his disciples, he heard another familiar name. While it was still early, Lin Qing thought about going to find him.

……

The familiar name that Lin Qing heard was Yan Hong, and there were probably two reasons why Yan Hong was discussed. One is that he has also entered the final day of the showdown, and the second is the red band on his head.

After Yan Hong entered the mountain gate, he still retained the red belt, Lin Qing didn't think it was strange, he was used to it. But for unfamiliar disciples, it has become a point of discussion.

Lin Qing came to Yan Hong's residence, where Yan Hong was reading.

Yan Hong saw the figure at the door, looked up and saw Qing'er coming, so she closed the book.

In fact, Lin Qing also came to look for Yan Hong a few times later, but he didn't say that he would come often, as he promised.

Yan Hong didn't say anything, since Lin Qing came over that time, Yan Hong's cultivation has become more diligent.

Lin Qing looked at Yan Hong in front of him and felt that he had also changed a little.

Although he is still a little shorter than Lin Qing as always, his face is still the same as before. It's just that with the increase of age, the face has increased a little delicately.

Lin Qing has also learned to joke now, and after the two chatted for a while, Lin Qing said that Yan Hong looked like a girl. Yan Hong jumped up after hearing this, and a fist exploded on Lin Qing's head, and Lin Qing screamed in pain.

Yan Hong looked at Lin Qing, who looked aggrieved, and said arrogantly, "Who is the girl now?" ”

When she said this, Yan Hong deliberately choked her throat a little rougher.

Lin Jian admitted his mistake again and again, saying that it was just a joke and begging Yan Hong to let it go.

Then there was a commotion in the house, which spread from the house to the courtyard. Yan Hong chased behind, and Lin Qing ran in front. The serious looks of the two teenagers when they were talking to Xia were like two pictures.

However, this scene is exactly the same as they were two years ago.
