There was silence all around, and the cultivators who came early were either meditating and pranayama or soothing their spirit beasts.

The journey of this day and night has exhausted these rookies.

The first round of testing seems simple, but it was just a pathfinding test. But when the southeast mountain range arrives here, not only do you have to cross hundreds of miles of rugged mountain roads, but you also have to beware of attacks by beasts or other cultivators at any time, and the most important thing is to reach the mountain gate within a day and a half, these are all a huge test for cultivators, not to mention cultivators who don't have pathfinding spirit beasts, even if they do, they will be tired enough to choke the spirit beasts.

Danhua looked at the position of the sun, calculated the hour again, and asked Xiao Wu on the side: "Xiao Wu, how many people have arrived?"

Xiao Wu replied, "Senior Brother Danhua, only twenty-five people have arrived now, and there are still many people lying in ambush on the way up the mountain. The juniors and disciples have just come to report, and those who are still on the road should have a lot of time to catch up. ”

"Ambush on the way up the mountain? These bunnies are really getting better and better at playing. Danhua was surprised at first, and then smiled with satisfaction, "The disciples recruited by this generation are all quite clever one by one. ”

Xiao Wu said again: "Senior Brother Danhua, when I just went up the mountain, I saw a few people hiding in the pavilion at the bottom of the mountain, and they didn't go up the mountain for a long time. ”

"How many?"

"It seems like eight. Xiao Wu said.

"Eight people are still so timid, isn't their cultivation quite low?" Danhua asked again.

At this time, Du Wenhao walked over and said respectfully to Danhua: "Senior Brother Danhua, the messenger bird is back, and the eight people who Xiao Wu said have found another way up the mountain." ”

"What? It's too late. Danhua said with a smile.

Du Wenhao got closer and said softly, "What are they going...... Benpai went up the mountain secret road. ”

"What!" Danhua was shocked, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he controlled his expression for a moment, and asked, "How did they find out!?"

Du Wenhao was a little embarrassed and said: "It seems that there is a kid who somehow took out a fish-shaped little rag doll, which should be the magic weapon of that kid, fiddled with it for a while, and then found the secret passage up the mountain hidden at the foot of the mountain." ”

"Could it be the treasure of the Yang family in the Holy Capital?" Dan Hua thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say it.

He paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and instructed Du Wenhao and Xiao Wu: "You two go to the secret passage to guard, bring them over when the time comes, and I will go and tell the master." ”

"Yes, brother. The two replied, looked around, and quietly left.

【Oriental pie in the secret passage of the mountain】

Eight people squeezed into a narrow passage.

"Are you all in, I'm going to close the stone door!" Chiaki shouted.

Erzhu shouted: "Okay, Brother Qian, close the door quickly." ”

"Shhhhhhhhhh

Erzhu nodded hurriedly, and by the way, he broke Yuan Lang's dirty hand.

Squeezing through the narrow first half of the road, the secret passage is much wider and can accommodate three people in parallel.

In the dark secret passage, there are no fingers to be seen, only the front two pillars hold a torch to lead the way.

"Old Yang, why did you think of taking out your dried fish?" Qianqiu patted Yang Xian on the back.

Yang Xian smiled and said, "Although I don't know how many functions the yin-yang fish has, my father told me that the yin-yang fish can turn the other side of everything. ”

"On the other hand, what do you mean, is it similar to perspective?" asked Chiaki again.

"I don't know, my father didn't tell me much, I just tried with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor. Yang Xian explained, "When my cultivation has progressed and I have the opportunity to come home, I will ask clearly." ”

Qianqiu nodded and said, "You continue." ”

"I just thought that such a big sect as the Eastern Sect should not have only one way, in case it encounters a strong enemy, it will be over. So I guess they will have a way out, too. So I tried to deduce the other side of the mountain road with the yin and yang fish, and I saw that there was a place with a different color, and I didn't think it was a secret road, but I came over and found that it was really it. Fortunately, this secret passage is not far from the stone steps, otherwise I would not have been able to see it with my mana. Yang laughed as he spoke, because he had just discovered this secret passage by chance.

"Let's go, I don't know how far it will be. "Don't be busy urging the two silly boys to move forward.

"Erzhu, I'll clear the way for you later. Tian Ting was originally in second place, she patted Erzhu's shoulder and said.

Erzhu smiled innocently and said, "Sister Tian, how can such rough work as opening the road allow you to come as a woman? ”

"Then I'll call Yuan Lang for you later. Tian Ting smiled and said immediately.

When Yuan Lang heard this, he stopped doing it, and said in fear: "My cultivation is low, I'm afraid it's not good to open the way." ”

"Shut up for me, the second pillar junior magician will dare to go ahead! You are a big man, are you embarrassed?" Zeng Qiqi heard this, and sneered at Yuan Lang, who was afraid of death.

At this time, Xiao Hu, who was walking behind, heard it, so he said: "Take a few more steps, everyone change formation, I'll go ahead, Erzhu, you take a rest." ”

"Listen to Brother Xiao! This is a man. Tian Ting patted Yuan Lang's shoulder heavily.

"It hurts......" Yuan Lang said with a twist.

"You pretend again! Pretend again, I'll slap you!" Tian Ting scared him.

.......

The crowd walked in darkness for about an hour.

"Why haven't we arrived yet, if it's a dead end, we'll be all finished! When the time comes, we will blame Yang for leading the way first!" Yuan Lang sat down tiredly.

"Shut up for me!" Tian Ting punched Yuan Lang hard.

Yang Xian stepped forward and said patiently: "When we first came in, there were still two hours before sunset, and now I estimate that I have walked for an hour, and I think it will be there soon." ”

"Come and see, there's a light on it!" shouted Xiao Hu, who was walking in the front.

Everyone crowded up to look, and sure enough, not far away, a little light entered the cave.

"Let's go!" Yuan Lang urged.

When they came to the exit, a stone gate blocked it.

Xiao Hu cautiously pushed the heavy stone door, but did not push.

"I'll help you Brother Xiao. As soon as the two pillars saw it, they stepped forward to help push together.

The second pillar is short, but the strength is amazing, and after he pushed with all his strength, the stone gate slowly moved.

"Come on, come on!" Yuan Lang shouted from the side.

Finally, the stone door was pushed ajar, and the strong light stimulated everyone's eyes, and everyone couldn't help but squint.

When everyone walked out of the dark secret passage, they found that there were many disciples of the Eastern Sect standing in front of them.

"Alas, I thought I had escaped, but I was caught at the exit. Yuan Lang sighed and sat down disappointed.

"Idiot, don't be stupid, it's the senior brothers of the Oriental faction!" Tian Ting saw clearly the clothes that the other party was wearing, so she kicked Yuan Lang.

Xiao Wu watched the eight people slowly come out of the secret passage and said, "The eight of you come with us." ”

The eight men blocked the stone gate and covered up some weeds before they followed.

Qianqiu whispered to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, we seem to have been discovered. ”

Yang Xian nodded and replied in a low voice, "It seems, yes." ”

Everyone followed Xiao Wu through a small forest and came to a small wooden door, Xiao Wu opened the wooden door, everyone walked in, and as soon as they entered, they suddenly saw a large open space and a huge camphor tree.

Take a look, there is a person standing under the camphor tree, it is Danhua.

As soon as Danhua saw the eight people walking in, he also walked over and asked, "Who is the kid of the Yang family in the Holy Capital?"

Yang Xian raised the fan and said, "I am." ”

"Did you discover the secret passage with the Yin-Yang Fish?" Dan Hua asked lightly.

"You can say that, but it's just luck. Yang Xian said.

Danhua nodded and continued: "You kid is quite modest, a bit of the demeanor of a descendant of the Yang family. Now, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news first!" Erzhu said hurriedly.

Yuan Lang glared at Erzhu: "Stupid! I must hear the bad news first, the good news must be used as cannon fodder!"

Danhua smiled: "The good news is that I want to congratulate you on passing the first round of tests. ”

"What about the bad news?" asked Chiaki as she stepped forward.

"The bad news is that if you can't enter my Eastern faction, you may be killed, so I wish you all the best of luck if you can enter my faction. Danhua said lightly, but all the eight people present knew the hidden danger.

Knowing the secret passage, if you can't enter the Oriental Sect, it is equivalent to an outsider knowing a crucial secret, can this person not kill people?

"Mom, I knew I wouldn't listen to Yang Xian, I don't want to .......," Yuan Lang said fearfully.

"I said you kid, can you have a little backbone!" Qianqiu walked over and picked up Yuan Lang, "Is it difficult to enter the Oriental faction?"

Danhua smiled, and then said to Qianqiu with a blank face: "It's better to be like this." With that, he walked away slowly.

Xiao Wu stepped forward, and the polite eight people said, "Everyone, please, go to the mountain gate and meet everyone, it's not too early this day." ”

The eight people had no choice but to follow Xiao Wu to the mountain gate.

There is a large rock next to the mountain gate of the Eastern Sect, which is just enough to accommodate a lot of people, and all the cultivators meditate on the rock and recover their cultivation.

Danhua looked at the time and greeted Xiao Wu to end the first round of testing.

Xiao Wu counted He Danhua and said, "Senior Brother Danhua, there are a total of two hundred and forty people who passed the first round of testing. ”

"Well, it seems that this year's newcomer qualifications are okay, and they have passed so many people, Xiao Wu, go and talk about it, and distribute these pills to everyone. I'll let you know the rhyme first, and then I'm going to go to their Yanyu Hall to host the second round of testing. After Danhua finished speaking, he left the mountain gate and walked in the direction of Yanyu Hall.

Seeing that Danhua was far away, Xiao Wu walked to the side of the rock and announced, "Congratulations to you for passing the first round of the 'Pathfinding' test, these are my Oriental Sect's special Qi Replenishing Pills, you can take some to recover some of your strength." Tonight, the second round of testing 'competition' will be held. After he finished speaking, he handed out the elixir.

When everyone heard this, they sighed, they were tired enough after a day's journey, and now they still have to continue the second round of testing "competition".

"Competition", this is a fight.

When Qianqiu heard this, he said to everyone: "Fortunately, we have saved a lot of effort by taking the secret road. ”

The rest of the people nodded.

Yuan Lang smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Yang, otherwise we would still have the strength to play the second round." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they looked at Yuan Lang and glared at him with disdain, this kid is really a grass on the wall, where can the wind not blow.
