Returning to his yard from the training ground, Chen Ming did not do anything else.

At this moment, he was really reading ancient books as he said before, looking like he was reviewing his lessons.

It's not that Chen Ming is eager to learn, but that he really can't find what to do.

His Linyuan Sword Technique was improved by relying on his source power. He didn't do anything at all. Even if he trained the sword technique, it would be redundant.

If you practice sword practice alone, the effect may not be very good, but if you use your source power to improve, the effect will be immediate.

There isn't much entertainment on Mount Yue. If you don't practice martial arts, then instead of wasting it in a daze, the rest of your time would be better spent reviewing your lessons.

"By the way, it seems that the top officials in this world also have imperial examinations."

Sitting quietly on the bedside, looking at the ancient books in his hands that recorded the sayings of his ancestors, Chen Ming thought to himself: "Maybe if I continue like this, I can take the top exam in the future..."

There is indeed an imperial examination in this world. This was already established when Chen Ming first traveled through time.

After coming to the Yueshan Sect, the liberal arts academy in the Yueshan Sect even claimed to have produced several top scholars.

Of course, according to Chen Ming's later understanding, he discovered that this was purely bragging.

Yueshan Literary Academy has indeed produced many scholars, but even the best among them barely managed to win the Jinshi, and were still far away from the number one scholar.

Most of the rumors in Yueshan were spread by false rumors and gradually exaggerated by some disciples who did not understand the rules of the imperial examination.

Of course, for Chen Ming, the imperial examination was not very attractive.

His family in this life was extremely wealthy, and several members of his family were officials in the court.

As the only child of the head of the Chen family, Chen Ming would probably live a wealthy life in the future even if he did nothing. It didn't matter whether he took the imperial examination or not.

For Chen Ming, all his thoughts at the moment were focused on martial arts.

When practicing martial arts, the feeling of constantly becoming stronger and full of power is so fascinating that Chen Ming can't help but be attracted to it, eager to reach a higher level.

And if you want to become stronger as soon as possible, you need source power.

"Speaking of which, what is the law of obtaining source power?"

Sitting on the bedside, Chen Ming put down the book in his hand, covered his face, and suddenly thought in his mind.

Because he didn't know the function of Source Force at the beginning, Chen Ming did not explore in depth how Source Force grew. He only knew that as time went by, the Source Force in him would slowly increase, but he did not know the specific rules. .

"It seems I need to pay more attention in the future."

He shook his head, thinking this in his mind, then put down the book and looked at the sky outside.

After a day of hard work, the sky outside was slowly getting dark at this moment, and shadows shrouded the outside, turning the world into black.

"It's already evening."

This thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and then he thought about it, then put on his clothes and slept, slowly closing his eyes.

A faint feeling of tiredness came over his body, accompanied by strong sleepiness, and Chen Ming fell asleep within a short time.

However, perhaps because of his improved cultivation, Chen Ming felt a little different that night than before.

While he was sleeping, an inexplicable aura began to escape around him, bringing with it a little bit of afterglow.

While half asleep and half awake, Chen Ming seemed to see something.

In the dark night, a pair of eyes seemed to slowly appear, quietly lurking in the shadows, staring at him.

"help me...."

A voice slowly sounded in my ears. The voice was cold and low, with a bit of hoarseness, like the sound made by someone pinching the throat, and it had a bit of heaviness.

Chen Ming turned over and seemed not to hear.

The sounds from the outside world continued, and in the shadows, the inexplicable pair of eyes seemed to become even colder.

"help me......."

The voice continued to sound, this time, the voice was much clearer.

"Back...Mountain..."

In the shadows, this existence slowly announced a location, and then the voice quickly faded and slowly disappeared from the ears.

The next day.

In the early morning, Chen Ming came to the classroom of the liberal arts college.

"Chang'an...what are you?"

Wang Li, who had just sat down, turned around and looked at Chen Ming as if he wanted to say something, but was stunned by his current appearance: "Chang'an, you...didn't sleep well last night?

"

Looking at Chen Ming's appearance at this moment, he was a little confused.

"I had a nightmare last night and I didn't sleep well."

Chen Ming rubbed his eyes. Although he was still energetic, his face was still a little tired.

"Yes, Brother Wang."

Seemingly remembering something, Chen Ming raised his head and said seemingly unintentionally: "Did you hear any inexplicable noises when you fell asleep last night?"

"Inexplicable sound?" Wang Li was a little confused: "No, I fell asleep last night and didn't hear anything."

"Maybe it was my own nightmare."

Chen Ming touched his head: "Do you know the back mountain?"

"The mountain behind?"

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then realized: "That is a forbidden area on the mountain. Only the headmaster and a few elders can go there. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Speaking of which, why are you asking this?"

"I'm just a little curious." Chen Ming said casually, and immediately opened his mouth: "I have been on the mountain for more than a month. I have been to most places on the mountain, but I haven't been to the back mountain yet, so I just asked."

"Yes." After hearing what Chen Ming said, Wang Li nodded with understanding: "This mountain is indeed boring. When I first came here, I was almost driven crazy by this place. If my old man hadn't forced me to study here, I would have been there long ago.

Went down the mountain."

"But there's nothing unusual about that place in the back mountain. I sneaked in once and there was nothing inside, just a few buildings." He shook his head and said.

"Have you ever been in it?" Chen Ming was stunned: "It's not a forbidden area..."

"Chang'an is so sincere."

Wang Li shook his head: "He won't let us in, why can't we sneak in?"

"Also, although that place is said to be a forbidden area, it is so big inside. Usually only the headmaster and the elders can go in. As long as you are careful, you will not be discovered."

"Then...is there anything weird in there?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a while and then asked tentatively.

"Weird stuff?"

Wang Li touched his chin: "What about a few old buildings that look a bit old?"

"It's a very large area, but there are only a few old buildings that are locked up, so you can't find anything at all."

"Chang'an, if you want, I'll take you there to have a look next time."

"Okay..." Chen Ming nodded.

At this moment, with the sound of subtle footsteps, the master who came to teach also walked over.

He was wearing an old concubine's robe, and his face was still serious. He stood on the podium in front of him and glanced around. When he saw that no one was absent, he began to lecture.

"That voice...is it really an illusion?"

In the lecture hall, thinking about the voice he heard last night, this thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, which made him feel a little hazy.

The morning class ended quickly. When the morning class ended, Chen Ming left the hall where the Academy of Arts was located and walked towards the dining hall of the Yueshan Sect.

It has to be said that although the entertainment facilities in Yueshan Pai are extremely lacking, in terms of some infrastructure, this place is still very good.

The masters who teach in the liberal arts college are all well-known scholars. On weekdays, the students and disciples also have special servants to take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. In this place, students only need to concentrate on practicing martial arts and studying, and do not need to worry about other things.

.

Walking into the dining hall, because it was still early, there were not many people inside, including an old acquaintance of Chen Ming.

"Junior Brother Chen!" A soft cry came from the front, accompanied by a little girl's smile, which appeared in front of Chen Ming's eyes.

Not far in front of Chen Ming, Fang Jia was wearing gray clothes. She stood up and waved to Chen Ming, with a cute little smile on her baby-fat little face.

"Senior Sister Fang."

Looking at Fang Jia, Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and walked forward along the path.

During the more than a month on Yueshan, although Chen Ming and Fang Jia didn't meet much, they still kept in touch and got along fairly well with each other.

Sitting directly in front of Fang Jia, before chatting for a long time, the servant on the side brought Chen Ming's order.

A plate of good beef, a big bowl of vegetarian noodles, some fried cakes and dried meat.

Looking at these things, Chen Ming felt a little hungry unconsciously, so he stretched out his hand, picked up the roasted beef and took a bite.
