The Star Gate is not far from the Imperial City, in Xunyang City, north of the Imperial City. There are two immortal mountains in Xunyang City, the one in the east is called Dengxingling, and the west is called Zhixing Mountain, and the two mountains reflect each other in the east and one in the west. It is the mountain that is as its name suggests, that is, as the officials and lords think, the sect of the Star Picking Gate is in the Zhixing Mountain.

A group of people followed the old Taoist priest to the foot of Zhixing Mountain, and there was a stone tablet standing at the foot of the mountain, and the words "Star Picking Gate" were written wildly.

Ahead was a bottomless chasm, and the monks stood on the edge of the cliff, and the wind at the bottom of the valley blew the robes of the people to hunt.

"In front is where my Star Picking Sect is located!" The old Taoist priest waved his hand and pointed to the mist-shrouded peaks behind the cliff. Zhixing Mountain is hidden in the clouds and mist from the halfway point of the mountain, and the cranes fly over from time to time in the air, and a neon light rises at the bottom of the cliff, leading to the nine heavens.

It is no wonder that Xunyang City has the legend of two immortal mountains since ancient times.

"But...... Senior, our cultivation is still shallow, how can we pass this abyss!" asked the monk at the back of the line timidly, for fear of bringing a bad impression to the old Taoist.

"Hahahaha!" The old Taoist priest didn't care, standing on the edge of the cliff, the mountain wind made him sway, and everyone felt tight, "Throw it into the place of death and then save it, put it in the place of death and live later." ”

The old Taoist priest jumped off the cliff with the whirring mountain wind.

"Ahh

"Senpai!"

Twenty-two monks lay on the edge of the cliff and watched, but ...... How can there be any trace of the old Taoist priest on the cliff?

"Let's go too, Lao Jiang. Wang Wenwen pulled Jiang Shenfu, who was dizzy, and jumped off the cliff in the eyes of everyone.

"Ah——! I don't want to die! Lao Wang!" Jiang Shenfu hugged Wang Wenwen tightly.

"Oh hey, no!" Wang Wen vigorously moved Jiang Shenfu's head away from his arm, "It's okay!

"Hmm, are we still alive?" Jiang Shenfu was pushed to the ground by Wang Wenwen, opened his eyes and looked around, how could there be any abyss, only the years were quiet and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

The old Taoist priest looked at the two of them with a smile: "It is worthy of being the first candidate, and it is really a bit of courage!"

Looking at the two people who jumped in first, the old Taoist priest became more and more satisfied, with strength and courage, if the mood is stable, then there will definitely be some achievements in the future.

A few monks jumped over one after another, and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but nod when he looked at them, and after waiting for a while, everyone finally arrived.

Everyone was stunned when they looked at the beautiful scenery around them, and the old Taoist priest laughed: "Congratulations on passing the first layer of the test! This is the outermost array of my Star Picking Gate! Crossing this cliff is the real entry into my Star Picking Gate!"

"Hmm~What an abundant aura~" Wang Wenwen took a deep breath, the aura of the Star Picking Gate is really much richer than elsewhere! Practicing here for a year is better than practicing in the outside world for more than five years! No wonder the monks are yearning for the sect.

Not only Wang Wenwen, but the other monks also felt it, and they all sighed at the aura of the Star Gate.

The old Taoist priest smiled and stroked his beard and looked at everyone: "This is the wonder of my Star Gate, legend has it that thousands of years ago, in this Xunyang City, a flying stone overflowing with aura fell outside the sky, the flying stone turned into two halves in mid-air and fell in Xunyang City, I picked the Star Gate where the Zhixing Mountain is located that is half of the flying stones, and the other is Dengxingling as everyone knows." ”

"Ah~ No wonder the aura is so abundant!"

"But...... But why didn't we build the Star Picking Gate on Dengxing Ridge? Obviously, the name is more suitable. A monk in the crowd asked again.

The old Taoist priest smiled: "Actually, five hundred years ago, Zhixing Mountain and Dengxingling were both my sects that picked up stars, but they were just ...... The master of Dengxingling and the master of Zhixing Mountain later had a dispute, and the master of Dengxingling led all the monks of Dengxingling to break away from the Xingxingmen and establish their own sect in anger, which led to the current Dengxingling One Palace. ”

Everyone was speechless when they heard this, so they could only follow the old Taoist priest with their heads down.

"Okay, this is all an old thing, don't mention it again when you get up the mountain!" The old Taoist priest didn't look back, but just walked up the mountain.

The mountains are high and the roads are long. After walking for an unknown amount of time, everyone raised their heads and found that the old Taoist priest was gone!

"This ...... What's going on!" Everyone panicked, as if they had seen a ghost, and suddenly the man disappeared.

"Lao Wang, what do you think. Jiang Shenfu asked in a low voice beside Wang Wenwen.

"Illusion. Wang Wenwen didn't quite understand, he didn't know much about the moves of the First Heavy Heaven, but everything was changing, and the most likely thing was that they were in the phantom array.

"Let's take one step at a time. ”

Wang Wenwen is not good at illusions and other spells, even if he has thousands of years of experience, he can only guess seven or eight, and there is not much good way to crack it.

Wang Wenwen and Jiang Shenfu led everyone around the woods, going around but still had no clue, looking up, the canopy was dense, and the only few rays of sunlight were already very thin when they fell on the ground.

"You ...... Do you feel as if we've walked through here?" asked a monk, frowning, "Did we just walk past this crooked-necked tree?"

Jiang Shenfu also pulled Wang Wenwen over, and everyone looked at it carefully, as if they had indeed walked here!

Wang Wenwen took out the Dolan sword and casually found a tree and slashed it down! The sap of the tree flowed down the scratches.

"Let's keep walking, and see if it's all back. Wang Wenwen shouted to the monks gathered around the crooked neck tree.

Wang Wenwen invisibly seemed to have become the head sheep in the crowd, leading the monks to continue walking in the woods. After going around and around for more than an hour, the crooked neck tree appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.

Wang Wenwen's heart tightened, and he ran to the crooked neck tree, and there was indeed a tree with brand new scratches.

That's true!

Jiang Shenfu also ran over, and the other monks also noticed it, and couldn't help but panic.

"Lost! We're lost!"

"Ghost hitting the wall!

Each has its own opinions, and there are different opinions.

"Lao Jiang, what do they mean by ghosts hitting the wall?" Wang Wenwen tilted his head, this was the first time he had heard this word.

"It's that we're entangled in things, and we can't get out of one place all the time. Jiang Shenfu waved his hand, "It's just an illusion, it's easy to crack, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Jiang Shenfu was about to say something, but there was a commotion in the crowd, and the three monks took out their proud (or humiliated) things that would be shielded vertically and horizontally and discharged water against the crooked neck tree.

The sound of rustling running water came, and Wang Wenwen only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and in front of him was a huge bluestone square! There were two rows of monks standing on both sides of the huge square paved with bluestone slabs, and at the end of the square was a magnificent hall, on which stood a person.

Seeing this battle, the three monks hurriedly put away their good brother in embarrassment.

"Not bad!" said the man in the middle of the hall, "although the method is a bit vulgar, it is better than I expected from you!"

The old Taoist priest arched his hand towards the people in the main hall: "Back to the master, all the monks recruited this time have been brought." ”

"Uncle Guan Shan has worked hard. ”

The people in the main hall beckoned to the monks: "Come here." ”

The monks also lost their original casualness, and hurriedly lined up and walked up to the main hall, and said in unison: "I have seen the master." ”

There were still more than thirty steps away from the main hall, and Wang Wenwen saw the appearance of the head of the Star Picking Sect clearly.

He was wearing a cyan Yunjin star-dotted leather jacket, a pale blue coat inside, a dark blue treasure pattern leather belt tied around his waist, long black hair, a pair of dark and deep eyes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall figure, which was really sassy and heroic.

"Not bad, not bad. ”

The head nodded, and seemed to be very satisfied with this group of monks.

"I don't care what conditions or ideas you chose to pick up the star gate, but! What I want to say is that in the future, you will not regret choosing the star gate!" The head of the star picking gate said quite heroically, "You are all good young people now, and you are in a good life! Young people are getting the way, and Fusang is rising! Today you are proud of me picking up the star gate, and I believe that in the near future, the star picking gate will be proud of you!"

The monks were enthusiastic about the words of the head of the Star Picking Sect, and they couldn't help but applaud.

Cough!

With a cough from the head of the Star Picking Gate, the audience fell silent again.

"You're new to the city, and you don't know much about my star-picking gate. You start with the outer disciples, and after half a year, see your performance in the competition. The head of the Star Picking Gate shook his hand, "Smoke cage, cold water, night park, Qin Huai...... Come on. ”

Four handsome monks stepped into the main hall and stood in a row to salute the master: "I have seen the master." ”

"No courtesy. The head of the Star Picking Sect waved his hand, and then pointed at Wang Wenjiang and Shenfu, "You two stand here." ”

Wang Wenwen and Jiang Shenfu naturally didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took a few steps forward.

The head of the sect pointed to the remaining twenty monks and said to Yanchang, Hanshui, Yebo, and Qin Huai: "There are twenty monks left, you can choose five of them each, and in the future, the four of you will guide them in basic cultivation! ”

"Yes!"

The four of them looked at each other and nodded, leading the twenty monks towards the square.

"Tsk~ you two ......" the head propped his head, "The archives record that you are indeed extraordinary, and I have also read the exam in the ancient king's forest, and it has indeed attracted a lot of attention!

The boss smiled, "But...... Directly admit you into the inner disciples, I am really afraid that other disciples will gossip~ That's it! You will worship under Uncle Guan Shan, and Uncle Guan Shan will guide you to practice, how about it?"

Jiang Shenfu was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, master." ”

Wang Wenwen's eyes jumped a little, but he also arched his hand: "Thank you, master." ”

"Hahahaha! That's good!" the head of the Star Picking Sect clapped his hands, "Then it will be troublesome for Uncle Guan Shan to guide him carefully." ”

The old Taoist priest looked at the head of the Star Picking Sect and smiled for a while: "Yes." ”

"Come with me. After speaking, he led Wang Wenwen and Jiang Shenfu towards the back mountain.

When the people dispersed, two sturdy men came out of the hall. They are all wearing a white crane pattern jacket, with a white animal pattern silver belt tied around their waists, one of them has lazy phoenix eyes, one looks like a pair of cold tiger eyes, and the two of them are really a person with a dignified appearance.

"Senior Brother in Charge, why do you want to bring these two talents to Uncle Guan Shan to practice?" The man with tiger eyes couldn't wait to ask, "If Senior Brother in Charge is unwilling to teach, then let me take them! You don't know Uncle Guan Shan's temperament!"

"Senior Brother Jinzhu, don't be impatient. The phoenix-eyed man smiled, "Senior Brother Jinsong naturally has his considerations for doing this. ”

"What Jinmei said is. The head of the Star Picking Sect breathed a long sigh of relief, "I don't know if you have noticed, these two candidates, one of them talks extraordinarily, and the other is wearing a golden sword." This is definitely the style of the family. Besides, the group that won the first place didn't report the five, eight, or nine sects, but came to us to pick up the star gate~ Don't you think it's strange?"

Yixi said vigorously, wanted to defend himself, but had nothing to say.

"If that's what I'm saying, then I must have something to do with my stargate, and I should look at it again anyway. The head turned his head to stare into Jinzhu's eyes, "In that case, isn't the lazy and easy-going Uncle Guan Shan the best candidate?"
