Qingyun and a group of nineteen children, under the leadership of Xu Yeshan.

After an hour's flight, we came to a great river.

The group stopped, and they were greeted by a huge stone gate with a bridge spanning the river behind it.

"This is the realm of my Xinghe Gate, you wait to follow behind me.

After entering, do not run around, otherwise you will be discovered by the patrol personnel, and you will be thrown into this mountain to fend for yourself, and you will not be asked.

Do you understand?"

"Understood. Qingyun and the others replied respectfully.

The width of this river is about dozens of zhang, and the waves are turbulent and the river is endless.

On the other side of the river, only a mountain range of black pressure could be seen, and people could be faintly seen moving.

If you look down on this place from the sky, the river looks like a circle.

End to end, encircling a piece of land in the middle with a radius of thousands of miles.

In fact, in the eyes of the people of Xinghemen, this is said to be a piece of land, and it is more like an island.

The mountains on it are undulating, surrounded by water in all directions, and only this bridge can be connected from above.

Qingyun and everyone looked ahead, this river has no inlet and outlet, why can it flow endlessly, and walk around the ground, everyone is puzzled.

Not only this one question, but along the way, he had a lot of doubts.

First, he tested the spiritual root in Seven Star City, but he didn't pass it at first, and then he passed it inexplicably.

After the test, Yuan Liu disappeared, and he couldn't find it.

Later, on the way he came, that Xu Yeshan had been staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.

He wanted to break his head, and he didn't know what it was.

Although there were many doubts, he was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy after all.

After reaching this great river, all doubts were diluted by excitement.

He will soon be able to enter the Star River Gate and become an immortal.

Practicing immortal arts, calling for wind and rain, and flying away, this made him overjoyed and did not doubt him.

Xu Yeshan led them up the bridge, and in a few moments, they had reached the island.

I saw a token appear in his hand and throw it forward.

The token floated in the air, emitting a visible ripple that rippled in all directions.

"This is my Galaxy Gate Protector Array, without this token, you can't enter, you can wait until you know. ”

Xu Yeshan said lightly.

"Greetings to Elder Xu!"

There was nothing in front of him, but now four people suddenly appeared out of thin air, saluting towards Xu Ye Mountain.

Xu Yeshan didn't speak, turned around, looked at Qingyun and his party, and said:

"You've passed the aura test, and in a few days there will be five elements left.

After passing through the Five Elements Platform, those with good qualifications and comprehension can directly worship the inner disciples as teachers.

Those whose qualifications are acceptable are to practice for the outer disciples.

Those with poor qualifications will be employed as handymen in the back mountain for ten years, and they will try to cultivate, and there will be a big competition in five years.

Those who stand out will be arranged according to the situation. ”

"Yan Hua, you take them to live under the Five Elements Stage, and assign them a place to live according to the rules in the door. ”

Among the four people in front of him, a man stood up, clasped his fists and replied:

"Yes, Elder. ”

Now Qingyun understands it, it turns out that he can't cultivate when he comes, and he can become an immortal.

You have to go through layers of tests before you have the opportunity to learn the exercises.

He looked around and saw that everyone was uneasy.

It took thousands of people to select a dozen of them, and now there is another test, for fear that I will not be able to pass.

The man named Yan Hua walked up to them after sending Elder Xu away.

With a serious face and no emotion, he said:

"You come with me, stay in the back mountain today, and conduct the Five Elements Platform test in three days. ”

Without waiting for them to reply, he waved his sleeves.

A mist of water grew from the soles of their feet, surrounded them, and led them to the back mountain.

After a stick of incense, they fell in front of the rows of houses, and in the closest place to them, there was a huge attic, and Yan Hua shouted inside:

"Yan Tao, come out to pick up people. ”

"Coming, coming, brother, I'm coming. ”

A person hurriedly ran out of the attic, with a smile on his face.

His appearance was somewhat similar to Yan Hua, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and hurriedly replied.

Yan Hua turned to look at Qingyun and the others at this time, and said:

"Yan Tao is the person who cares about the male disciple's residence here, and he arranges for everyone to go in and out of work.

You wait for the man to stay, and report his name, age, and family, and the woman will follow me to another mountain dwelling. ”

He looked at Yan Tao again, and said expressionlessly:

"These people have been handed over to you, good life arrangement, don't make it difficult for me. ”

Yan Tao suddenly grinned, with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, and returned flatteringly:

"Where, where, how can I get my brother in trouble, definitely not.

You can rest assured, rest assured, hehe.

Brother, walk slowly, come often when you have time. ”

Yan Hua ignored him, took the remaining three girls, and turned to leave.

"You are all new disciples today, and you have to listen to my arrangements in the mountains behind me.

I said east, you can't go west, I say go, you can't stop, here I am the biggest.

If you have to report something to me, I agreed, so you can do it, do you understand?

Yan Tao saw that his brother had gone away, and immediately changed his high-minded face and yelled at Qingyun.

At this time, I saw more than a dozen people walking out of the attic behind Yan Tao and coming behind Yan Tao.

Some people clasp their hands around their chests, some people support their backs with both hands, with impatient expressions, and more people are standing behind watching the play with expressionless faces.

Qingyun stood at the back of the crowd, watching this scene, knowing that this was not the time to come out.

was waiting for the person in front to take the lead in saluting and replying, but at this time, a person in front of him said angrily:

"Who are you, we are all disciples with immortal spirit roots that Elder Xu received, and we are going to start cultivating in the future, how can you instruct and arrange it?

If you command again, I will tell the elders and bring you to justice. ”

"Hey, boy, which onion are you? The people who do the handymen in the mountains behind me, you go and ask them which one doesn't have fairy spirit roots.

But so what, ten years of hard work as a handyman, doing it correctly, not knowing how to lift, teach me how to behave. ”

Yan Tao waved his right hand, and immediately rushed out of the crowd.

Pulled the indignant boy by, punched and kicked, and the boy curled up on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Everyone was shocked, and they were all scared into a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to speak.

"Faerie Root, what a joke.

You wait for each of you to come forward, report your name, and Lao Tzu will arrange a place for you to live, if you don't obey, you will be like this. ”

Yan Tao sat at a large table in front of the attic, cocking Erlang's legs.

Pointing to the young man on the ground, he looked at everyone with disdain.

Of the fifteen people standing here, one of them walked up to Yan Tao tremblingly, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully:

"Qi Shangxian, my name is Sun Peng, I am over twenty years old, from Seven Star City, and I ask Shangxian to arrange a place to live. ”

Yan Tao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, a good seedling, you wait. ”

After saying that, he turned around and went to the attic, and after a while he took out a box, put it on the table and opened it.

It was full of tokens, he looked for it for a while, took out one, handed it to Sun Pengdao:

"Fifteen rows, seventh in the east, take the token and go and arrange a place for you to live. ”

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Sun Peng was overjoyed, took the token, held it in the palm of his hand and glanced at it, and after thanking Yan Tao again, he walked inside.

Xu was this Yan Tao who killed chickens and monkeys, and he didn't make things difficult for the remaining fourteen people, including Qingyun.

As if a rotten good person, he gave them the residence tokens, registered them one by one, and let them enter on their own.

The young man, who was arrogant at the beginning, was now curled up on the ground, covered in dust, trembling, and afraid to speak.

The houses here are divided into east and west ends, and after entering from the gate next to the attic of Yantao, each row of houses has eight rooms in the east and eight rooms in the west.

The residences on both sides are arranged in the shape of "Feng", sitting in the north and facing south.

There is a flat and wide main road, which leads straight to the far north.

Qingyun walked to the door of his house, only to feel that each house was still quite big.

When I pushed the door in, the room was empty, but I saw dozens of beds, connected together.

"It turns out that this house is going to live a lot of people.

Fortunately, no one squeezed me in my house, which is not bad. Qingyun said secretly happy in his heart.

It's dusk, and it's nightfall.

According to Yan Tao, he went to the attic in front of him to get daily utensils such as bedding, pots and buckets, and then had dinner in the lobby, and then returned to his residence to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, I could only hear the excitement outside, and Qingyun also went out to check with the young man next to him.

When a few people walked behind Yan Tao's attic, they saw many young men of their age standing outside the gate.

After listening to Yan Tao's words, he distributed the tokens.

"It turns out that not only those of us who want to enter this Xinghe Gate to practice, but also so many other people who want to enter. ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that the Xinghe Gate only admits dozens of disciples every year, and I thought we were official disciples when we came.

It seems that three days later, there will still be an extremely rigorous test on the Five Elements Platform. ”

"Oh my God, I knew I would have to do ten years of miscellaneous labor if I didn't pass the test, so I might as well not come.

Being a little master at home, eating and drinking every day, it is much more comfortable than here. ”

The few people beside Qingyun were talking, and he was getting more and more troubled in his heart.

It is not an easy task to win the top one or twenty among these hundreds of teenagers.

Even if you work hard, if you have good qualifications and understanding, this can't be compared in any way.

Several of them watched the people at the door walk in one after another, and they all found their own residence with different expressions just like they did yesterday, and they didn't dare to speak loudly.

At this time, Yan Tao walked in and saw people gathered in groups.

His expression was still as high as before, he snorted lightly, looked at everyone arrogantly and said:

"Don't be complacent, these days we will bring at least a few thousand people from the city under the Star River Gate.

Two days later, they all gathered at the Wuxing Platform for testing.

Those who pass enter the gate to practice, and those who do not pass move their belongings to the last row of houses that are not full of people.

While doing miscellaneous labor, while cultivating, for ten years, if there is something outstanding, you can get started in advance.

If you don't have any strengths, you have to listen to my arrangement here.

If you don't do well, you are not allowed to rest, you are not allowed to eat, until you finish your work, you can wait for yourself. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the attic without looking back, leaving everyone looking at each other.
