The joy of everyone was overflowing for a while. It happened to be noon, Qiu Shan asked the boss to arrange a simple meal for everyone, but Qiu Shan was not there, and inquired about the two of them on the street, and then fed the horses. This is the end of time.

Qiu Shan looked at the fact that although he was not old, he was well organized and at ease, no wonder Lao Dao arranged for him to bring people back, but he had a little doubt but did not solve it, he remembered that Lao Dao said that it was obviously a group of people to be accepted after the New Year, and there was a special reason to accept some more people this year, what was the reason.

Suddenly, Qiu Shan shouted outside the door to set off, seven people got off the inn, the carriage at the door had already been prepared, Qiu Shan arranged for Jiang Xing to sit in front of him to catch the carriage, and six people to sit in the carriage behind.

Fifty miles of road to the north is estimated to be more than half an hour, Jiang Xing drove the carriage, this road is lush with trees, occasionally passing by one or two small mountain villages, the afternoon is not too stuffy, the carriage is up, the breeze blows down and cooler. The guy from Qiu Shan leaned against the door frame, his eyes closed, not knowing what to think.

From a distance, I saw a black mountain about 100 zhang high in the north, just in front of me, and it seemed that this cloud and mist was covering a futon for this black mountain, and the whole body was black and made people curious to see its whole picture, but fortunately, the destination was sitting on Cumulus Mountain.

Fu walked forward for nearly an hour, and finally came to the foot of Cumulus Mountain, at the foot of the mountain stood a large stone tablet inserted into the soil with five or six people high and wide with two or three people hugging together, three vigorous and powerful characters, Cumulus Mountain!

Standing at the foot of this mountain, you can't see the top of the mountain at a glance, but the top of the mountain is covered by clouds and mist, maybe this is the origin of Cumulus Mountain, Jiang Xing is thinking in his heart that this top of the mountain is not the residence of immortals?

Although the mountain is dark from a distance, the mountain is full of trees, and there is only one avenue spiraling upward. The group got off the carriage and all sighed at the magnificence of this mountain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Cumulus Mountain, where the foundation of this gate is, now it is only the foot of the mountain, and further on is the mountain gate," Qiu Shan opened his mouth

Walked up along the mountain road for an hour, came to the official mountain gate, a big stone archway about ten zhang high is built in the pass between the two mountains on the left and right, about dozens of zhang link the two mountains, the archway is all built with white stone, even can not see the traces of splicing, it is simply ingenious.

Just connecting the two mountains shows what a huge amount of work this is. The two mountains on the left and right are not steep cliffs, but there are lush trees and forests, which shows that the mountain gate is built here as an excellent strategic location for attack, retreat and defense. In the middle of the stone archway is also three words----- Zongjian Sect!

At the entrance of the mountain is a large square that has been flattened, all of which are paved with large bluestone and are flat and abnormal. There were nearly twenty people standing in two teams on the left and right of Yamaguchi, all wearing white robes and sticking a sword diagonally on their backs.

Qiu Shan greeted the senior brothers who were guarding the door, and took Jiang Xing and his party into the gate of the Sword Sect. Jiang Xing and these people couldn't help but look at these people's bodies, looking at these robes and swords, full of envy.

Then go inside about a meal of kung fu suddenly opened, the mountain here is not the so-called steep, it is all a squirting house, carved beams and painted how magnificent, the house is all herringbone roof, the top is tiles, the courtyard wall outside the vermilion lacquer, completely a gate magnificent.

It is also hard to climb all the way, and it is estimated that it has now reached a position a little higher than the halfway up the mountain, and at this time Qiu Shan spoke: "This door is roughly divided into several large areas, the practice area, the rest area, the discussion area, the hall master elder area, and the head area, etc., it is almost evening, I will take you to the rest area first, and tomorrow you will get up early and take you to the practice area to report." ”

Everyone responded yes, and Jiang Xing finally knew why the Vertical Sword Sect was in a special situation and was recruiting.

The sky is getting dark, Jiang Xing's bed is just next to the window, looking up, the dark world is full of stars, the moon tonight is not too round, but it is not much different from a full circle.

I asked the guy named Duan Daya on the left, and I learned that it should be around August 15, the day of reunion. Jiang Xing smiled.

The temperature on the mountain was a little cool at night, Jiang Xing and his group were arranged in a house in the back row of the rest area, and went to the big stove hall in the mountain in the evening, and ate three steamed buns with stewed dishes, and now they are lying comfortably.

There was an oil lamp lit in the house, which was a little bright, and there were eight or nine people living in a room, and the beds were made of large stone slabs.

One was given a set of bedding and a white robe. A group of people were excited, and some of them had already put their robes on their bodies for acquaintances to see, and when the other party complimented each other, they grinned to the cheeks again.

The big furniture didn't dare to make a loud noise, but only whispered, because a patrol had already come and smashed the door once. Jiang Xing was lying on the bed and remembered what Lao Dao said in Qinhuai Town, and pushed Duan Daya, who was sleeping on the left, with his hand.

Duan Daya is seventeen years old, his father is a blacksmith in Qinhuai Town, he has two front teeth protruding, so he heard everyone ask him to call Duan Daya, he also shouted, Duan Daya is a self-cooked, and Jiang Xing's brother is short and short, Jiang Xing is quite willing to talk to him.

"Hmm, what's wrong brother, what's the matter" Duan Daya hadn't been asleep chatting with the person next to him, so he turned his head and asked,

It was a little cold on the mountain this night, Jiang Xing tugged the quilt on his body and asked, "Didn't you say that the Sword Sect doesn't accept people, why do you want people again?" Do you know what's going on?"

"Oh, you don't know this, recently the Sword Sect and the Dragon Tiger Sect seem to have heard that there have been a few battles, and the two sides have injured each other, the Sword Sect is not many people of three or five thousand people, it feels like there is pressure, and now it is crazy to accept people, but those who have rich families are usually willing to let the children go up the mountain to exercise, now is the time to fight, who dares to let people come to the Sword Sect, I also heard that many of the children of some rich families in the mountains have been brought back by their families.

Now they can come either for a bite to eat or for the children of poor families, but many people are afraid that they will lose their lives if they really fight with Longhumen, after all, Longhumen is a mountain bandit. Those bandits who kill people without seeing blood are probably reluctant to come.

"Can you see the twins in the corner over there? They came here because their family was poor and couldn't afford to eat. In the dark night, I saw the two big teeth on Duan Daya's exposed lips shining brightly, and he pointed to the west side of the bed.

"No wonder, then why are you here?" Jiang Xing muttered, and then asked him.

"Me, my father is a sword maker, my father said that men are determined to go to the end of the world with swords, happy revenge, saying that he didn't do anything when he was young, so I can't repeat his mistakes!"

"Your father seems to be a knowledgeable man too,"

"That's it, my dad is old and strong, that fist clenched, that muscle, that big ......"

Jiang Xing smiled and then asked, "Hey, didn't you say that there are immortals in the Sword Sect, those who will turn into fire, wind or something, let them come and destroy the Dragon and Tiger Gate." ”

"What the hell? Immortals, don't talk about it, a long time ago, it was said that there was an immortal cultivator in the Sword Sect, who knows if it was a rumor, and besides, there are really immortals and the Dragon and Tiger Sect, how can the Sword Sect fold so many people again.

Anyway, I'm so big, plus what my father told me, I've never seen it, but I've heard of this storyteller's deception, you're afraid that it's a trick, have you ever been deceived. Duan Daya looked at him like a fool.

Jiang Xing was stunned by what he said, sat up and thought for a while, but Duan Da was stunned, Jiang Xing thought about the old storyteller carefully, he was sure that this old man definitely didn't lie to him, that expression and tone. But why does this big tooth say that?

Jiang Xing understood that it would be vain to ask Duan Daya again. Then lay down and the two chatted for a while, and when the change sounded, it turned out to be a child, thinking that they would get up early tomorrow, and they would call each other if they made an appointment to get up early............

The next day, just after arriving at the fifth watch, I heard a hurried knock on the door, and shouted: "If anyone can't get up in a quarter of an hour, don't blame me for punishing you!"

At this time, the people in the house immediately woke up, and they heard the kicking for a while, and when everyone pushed the door out of the door, plus some people in other rooms, there was already a large crowd here.

In the end, the middle-aged man looked from room to room, and after finding that there were no people who were pulled down, he took everyone to the practice area at a trot, and the practice went to the rest area not far from about a quarter of an hour's journey.

The practice area is a large square carved out on the mountain, which can accommodate about 10,000 people, and the ground is also made of big bluestone that I saw at the mountain gate before, which is unusually smooth.

It was full of smoke all around, the sky was already bright, and the east was slightly glowing, that was the sun was about to rise, but he was called back by a voice, but it was the big man who roared and made people line up.

Jiang Xing looked around, there were about five or six hundred people, these people seemed to have practiced before, Jiang Xing just had to follow them, and after a while, a phalanx came out.

This middle-aged man is seven feet tall, with a red face, fluffy hair, a wide mouth and a big nose, and he looks like a murderer at first glance.

He stood in the front row facing everyone, and there were some people standing on the left and right, and he heard him roar loudly: "Little cubs, my name is Xiong Lie, I am the master of the Wind Hall, welcome to join the Sword Sect, now I will take you to train, no matter why you joined the Sword Sect, now you are now part of the sect, I will train you for two months,

After two months, you will officially join the Sword Sect and become a member of the Sword Sect, and the sect will give you some benefits on a monthly basis, you are just the lowest people, go up to the hall master, the sect master, you must know that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and when you see us, you must learn to behave, now I want you to start running around the mountain along this square, fifty miles back and forth for an hour, and then come back here, go to the stove hall to eat, and there is your senior brother standing next to me, if there is a cheating, playing tricks or can't adapt to it, say in advance, so as not to suffer in vain"

After speaking, Xiong Lie looked at the crowd and said, "It seems that no one has withdrawn? That's good, are you ready!"

Five or six hundred people running along the mountain are also spectacular, but this hour is enough for people to bear, and it is inevitable that the legs will be soft and the feet will be soft.
