After a few months, Tiansheng has gradually become accustomed to this kind of life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hold a book, read it down, think on it, and chew the true meaning of the book carefully. Take it seriously and really appreciate the warmth of books. The warm fragrance of books makes people perceive truth, goodness and beauty, and makes people's mood clear.

Tiansheng now understands a little bit of Master's painstaking arrangement in this way, not only to let himself learn to persevere. It is more important to make yourself sensible and know how to advance and retreat. Of course, there is another layer of meaning, Tiansheng looked at the "General Outline of Qi Training" in his hand and smiled, I am afraid that there is also a temptation to test whether he can withstand it. Since Master is so important, he can't let him down. Tiansheng looked at the basic exercises of this practice, and his heart was itching, but he could only grit his teeth, and he couldn't practice just looking at it.

Every time I arrived, there would be a senior brother who would bring me food, and there would be another time when I arrived at the unitary time. Taking advantage of the rare leisure during the meal, Tiansheng also chatted with the senior brother who guarded the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Zhao Sheng, what day is it today? Tiansheng looked at the disciples of the Sword Sect who came and went outside the gate, and they were chatting about something lively, which was in stark contrast to the tranquility in front of the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the past.

"Senior brother, don't you know?" This senior brother named Zhao Sheng was very talkative, and when he saw that he was naturally asked, he quickly explained the reason.

It turned out that these few days happened to be the days when the Sword Sect recruited disciples once in ten years. Every day on this day, the sword gate will be opened. Most of the children who meet the requirements from thousands of miles around will rush here, and even some people from some neighboring countries will come to try their luck.

"Ah, it's not like hundreds of thousands of people are coming. "It feels a little bit incredible by nature.

"It's not that exaggerated. Zhao Sheng continued to explain: "The Sword Gate only recruits children between the ages of five and ten, and there are only more than 100,000 children who are suitable for this condition. ”

"That's a lot, too. "Born to smack your tongue, you must know that there are only more than 1,000 disciples in the inner sect of the Sword Sect now, and there are no more than 4,000 disciples in the outer sect.

"Hehe, more than 100,000 people seems like a lot. But not many people can be admitted. After speaking, Zhao Sheng glanced at Tiansheng with a little envy and said: "Not everyone is as lucky as the junior brother, and he was accepted as a personal disciple by the head of the sect as soon as he was born. These more than 100,000 children, if they want to become disciples of the Sword Sect, they must first test the immortal root at the first level. ”

"Sengen?"

"That is, whether there is a talent for cultivating immortals. Zhao Sheng explained: "Very few children from ordinary families have immortal roots, and there is almost one in a hundred." The children with a more noble status are better, these children were fed and nourished by various elixirs when they were still in the womb, and one or two out of ten had fairy roots. In this way, more than 1,000 children will be able to live by then. ”

"There are only more than a thousand left?" "I was born in the Sword Sect, and I never thought that it would be so difficult to be a disciple of the Sword Sect, and the competition would be so great.

Zhao Sheng looked at Tiansheng and smiled mysteriously: "More than a thousand...... And that's just the first level!"

"Is there a test ahead?" asked Tiansheng, already numb to the harsh test of the Sword Gate.

"Of course, the next test is even tougher. Zhao Sheng said thoughtfully: "After testing the immortal root, the next test is the child's quality in all aspects, physical strength, mental perseverance, etc." All of this will take place in the 'Forest of Trials' for a day and a night. As long as you can reach the end of the forest from one end of the forest to the other on time, you can pass the exam. ”

"What's in the woods?" Innately believing that this test would not be just a rush test.

"The woods are dense, the roads are rough and the bushes are overgrown. The children participating in the test must not only find their way inside, but also be careful to avoid the beasts in the forest. Moreover, candidates are not allowed to bring any other tools or weapons. Of course, the Sword Sect will send dozens of disciples to protect them secretly, and as long as the children's lives are in danger and they automatically abstain, someone will take them out, so there is generally no danger. Don't worry!" Seeing the natural with palpitations, Zhao Sheng said.

"Well, senior brother, it's not too early. I'll go back to reading first. Tiansheng said to Zhao Sheng.

"Okay, let's go. Zhao Sheng waved his hand.

I was born and wanted to see it, but it was useless to think about it myself. Still honest. If you don't work hard, you will be surpassed by these younger brothers and sisters in the future!

……

Five days later, at the foot of Jianmen Mountain. There are still quite a few people waiting in line for the test.

"Well, how many people have passed the Immortal Root Test now?" Ling Yun asked a disciple who was in charge of recording.

"Senior brother, 1,356 people have passed the test now. ”

"Well, today is the last day. You keep track of the people who pass and arrange their accommodation. Tomorrow will be the test of the Forest of Trials. Lingyun Zhengse.

"Yes, brother. ”

"Alright, you can keep busy. After Ling Yun finished speaking, he went to arrange other things. It was the first time he was presiding over the test for the Sword Sect to recruit disciples, and Ling Yun wanted to do his best to do better and prevent everything that might affect this introductory test.

……

Jianmen, the candidate's accommodation area. Those who live here have passed the fairy root test, so there are many candidates, so there is one room for every five people. At this time, four well-dressed seven or eight-year-old girls in the room were happily discussing tomorrow's trial.

"Well, how many people are going to pass the test tomorrow? It is said that it will be difficult to pass the test tomorrow. The girls chattered and discussed for a long time, and became less and less confident.

At this time, a girl in green next to her said arrogantly: "I don't know how many people can pass tomorrow." Anyway, I'll pass tomorrow. Saying that, he looked at the three girls with contempt, which made the other three women's faces suddenly look bad, but they dared not speak angrily, because through talking before, they also knew that the girl in green was true, whether it was her family background or her own strength, she was much stronger than herself.

After the girl in green finished speaking, she glanced at the girl who was shrunk alone in the corner, covered in tatters, and said a little condescendingly: "And this pariah, it will definitely not pass." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room turned their eyes to the girl who was shrinking in the corner: "Yes, a pariah also wants to cultivate immortals. It's ridiculous. ”

"Untouchables are untouchables, and it's better to go back to the countryside and farm. ”

"I feel ashamed to take exams with such untouchables. "Three girls, you say a word to me, as if you have found a sense of superiority here, and the more you talk, the more energetic you become.

The girl in green didn't say anything more, just glanced coldly at the girl cowering in the corner, and didn't know what she was thinking.

The girl in the corner lowered her head, as if sensing the hostility of the others in the room, and shrank back slightly, silent.

……

On the second day, the genius was bright, and the trial was about to begin.

On the periphery of the Forest of Trials, there were already more than a thousand children between the ages of five and ten. This time, the Sword Sect recruited disciples, and a total of 1,481 people passed the Immortal Root Test. Among them, 21 people were extremely talented and were exceptionally admitted and directly became inner disciples. In other words, a total of 1,460 people participated in the trial this time, but it is unknown how many people can finally pass the test.

With a "boom", a huge beam of fireworks rose into the sky, and the trial officially began.

Almost all of the children started rushing forward, hoping that they would be able to get ahead. Only a few dozen people were not in a hurry, because few children could realize that this was a competition of physical strength and endurance, and the initial advantage did not mean anything, and it might even lead to defeat because the initial charge consumed too much physical strength.

The girl in green glanced around, and the three girls who had followed her at the beginning had disappeared, and the girl in tatters slowly walked behind her. Without looking too much, the girl in green strode with her head held high and slowly entered the depths of the dense forest.

After walking for two hours, the vegetation became more and more lush, and the mountain road became more and more rugged. Every now and then, one or two children will be seen sitting and resting. The girl in green smiled contemptuously and continued on her way. These people have such poor physical strength that they do not pose a threat to themselves. At this time, the girl in tatters was still following behind.

"See how long you can follow. The girl in green also knows why she has been following her, the mountains are deep and the forests are dense, it is easy to get lost, and the tattered girl must know that she can accurately judge the direction, so she is reluctant to follow her, but she is also smart.

Along the way, more and more children are falling behind them. But the girl in green did not rest until noon, and slowly took out the dry food from her arms and ate a few bites. Because of the long distance, you can't carry too much dry food, otherwise it will become a huge burden, so you can only save food. Seeing that the girl who had been following her closely behind her was also replenishing food, the girl in green admired her a little, after all, a civilian has no elixir to survive his body since he was a child, and it is really not easy to keep up with him for such a long way.

But the thought was fleeting. In the eyes of the girl in green, civilians are always civilians. will never fly on the branches and become a phoenix. After a short break, she continued to walk, and the ragged girl hurriedly followed.

In this way, I hurried continuously, carefully avoiding the beasts, and the journey went smoothly. It was getting dark, and the girl in green quickened her pace, for it would be even more dangerous to walk after dark. Although the girl in tattered clothes was seriously overdrawn at this time, when she saw the girl in green speeding up, she didn't dare to linger in the slightest, so she could only grit her teeth and keep up tightly.

…….

At this point, at the end point.

"Xiao Chu, you bring twenty disciples to help. Ling Yun looked at the darkening sky and was a little worried about those children, so he said.

"Yes. After Xiao Chu received the order, he took people to reinforcements.

At this time, Ling Yun asked a disciple beside him, "How many people are left now?"

"Senior brother, there are still 1,123 people, of which three hundred insist on abstaining, and seven are in danger and are disqualified after being rescued. ”

After listening to this, Ling Yun looked at the Forest of Trials solemnly, only hoping that there would be a little less accident. It was getting dark, and there were more accidents. Even if there are dozens of Sword Sect disciples secretly protecting them, there is no guarantee of absolute safety.

……

After a while, night had completely fallen.

The girl in green finally stopped and began to rest. Seeing this, the girl in rags also hurriedly rested to replenish her strength, and her body was almost at the limit.

"Hmph" The girl in green glanced behind her and couldn't help sneering. She knew that the civilian who had been with her for a day was already physically exhausted, and she would definitely not be able to keep up with herself in the future. Civilians will always be civilians and are destined to be eliminated.

This time she rested for half an hour, and the girl in green ate up the only dry food left. Ready to go all out and throw off the heels behind by the way.

"Hey, I'm leaving. If you keep following, keep following!" the girl in green said and walked straight away, and the girl in rags also got up and hurried away. It's just that the sky is dark, the mountain road is rugged, and after walking for a while, the figure of the girl in green is gone.

From time to time, the roar of a beast can be heard in the distance, and when following the girl in green, you can always avoid the beast. Now the girl in rags walks alone, walking carefully at every step, not only to be careful about the mountain road under her feet, but also to pay attention to the surrounding environment. But there is nothing to fear in my heart, I have lost everything, and there is nothing to fear.

Minutes and seconds passed. There are only three hours left until the end of this trial. Gradually, some people rushed to the terminal. One, two, three......

"It's finally here" The girl in green exhaled a long breath, even she was sore at this time, and it was extremely difficult to reach the end, that person would definitely not arrive. The girl in green looked at the Forest of Trials and grinned.

Only seven people have arrived now, and they have all been taken back to the Sword Gate to rest. The girl in green didn't leave, she wanted to see if the person could pass the test, even if it was very unlikely.

The night was dark, and the mountain road could only be seen with the help of a faint moonlight. The girl in rags didn't know how long she had been walking, where she had gone, and her mind was already like a mess of mush, unable to think. Just by will, he is moving slowly. With a "snap", the girl in rags accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Obviously, the body is already dying, and this fall is undoubtedly worse.

It was as if he had lost sensation in his feet, and his hands were slimy, and he felt a lot of blood. This is nothing, what scares the girl the most is that her strength seems to be drained at the moment of falling, and she can't use any strength. Once, twice, the girl tried to stand up with her hands on her body, but again and again she fell to the ground.

"Do you want to abstain. When she was about to despair, the girl seemed to hear a voice asking her to abstain or not. Why abstain? I can still go, I can't throw in the towel. Now that I have lost everything, this is the last hope, not only the hope of cultivation, not only the hope of changing my fate, but also the hope of living. The girl in rags didn't know where the strength came from, she struggled to get up, one step, two steps, as long as she walked step by step, she could see hope.

Xiao Chu saw that the girl was so persistent, and disappeared into the darkness. Cultivating immortals is like this, the big waves and sands require not only talent, but also great wisdom and perseverance to get to the end, and no one can help you. Therefore, cultivating immortals is cruel, even for children who are now participating in trials and are under the age of ten.

……

At the end of the line.

Ling Yun looked at the slightly glowing sky, and saw that the time for this trial was almost up. As long as those who pass this test, they will officially become the outer disciples of the Sword Sect.

Now that the hour is basically no longer coming, just as Ling Yun was about to announce the end, a blood-red girl slowly walked out of the forest, limping slowly, the girl seemed to fall down at any time. At this time, this thin body brought everyone's shock, and when it came to the end, the girl seemed to have been exhausted at once, and fell straight to the ground, unable to hold on any longer. Ling Yun immediately stepped forward to feed the girl a healing pill, and saw an imperceptible smile on the girl's tired face.

"Hmph, interesting. When the girl in green saw this, she smiled meaningfully and turned to leave.
