The mountains are layers of mountains, undulating continuously, like the waves suddenly set off by this endless earth, there are gentle and gentle trends, and there are also strange peaks that suddenly appear and go straight into the sky.

The clouds are the mist of the sky, gently curling and lingering among the mountains. And the water, like a fairy untied the belt, the mountain stream clear spring, rainbow shadow looming, several rivers around the mountain, painting a picture of the river and mountain blessed land between the flood and the wilderness.

"I often hear people say that wealth, husbandry, and land are blessed land. ”

Zhou Zhou stood in the peach forest at the foot of the mountain, looking at this beautiful scenery, and his mood was very comfortable. I've been thinking about finding a monastic sect to run to, no, it's close at hand.

Next to him, Zhou Zhiyan was dressed in a cuiluo skirt, a small gauze dress on her shoulders, apricot eyes and light eyebrows, pink lips and cherry petals, and her hair was silky and smooth, but she was carefully combed.

She also whispered, "Hey, you really didn't peek when I was in the shower?"

"How many times have you said it, brother is not good for you," Zhou Zhou flicked his sleeves and looked up at the sky, there were two streamers in the depths of the sky and clouds, and they disappeared into the mountains and forests in front of him.

Monastic sect, found!

At this time, it had been half a month since he left the town where Old Man Shen was located. Zhou Zhou and Zhou Zhiyan went all the way to the north, there was Zhou Zhiyan, the 'leader' who had traveled thousands of miles in this way, according to her memory, occasionally met monks and asked for directions, and the two found another town yesterday.

This flood is too big, and the distance between Fang Town and Fang Town is by no means comparable to the distance between those villages and towns in the world.

In this half month, Zhou Zhou has been running for half a day and walking for half a day, and his feet are faster than those of a thousand miles of good horses.

And the second Fang Town is several times larger than the Fang Town where Lao Shen Tou is located, and the number of monks gathered is dozens of times. There are many kinds of pedestrians and street stalls on the street, including Dan shops, ritual shops, spiritual object shops, and even those selling ornamental spiritual objects, which is like a small city in the world.

Why are there so many monks gathered in the town? The answer was that Zhou Zhou was overjoyed. This town is under the jurisdiction of a monastic sect called 'Guiqingzong', and the mountain gate of Guiqingzong is thousands of miles away, very close......

Thousands of miles, it's very close.

The reason why there is this fang town is because Gui Qingzong has recruited disciples in the past few hundred years, and the monks have flocked to it, and this fang town has gathered here. The Guiqing Sect also sent monks to be stationed here to maintain order here, and also collected some 'protection money'.

In the mouths of the monks in Fangzhen, it can be heard that the Guiqing Sect is also a large sect within a radius of 30,000 li, and there are hundreds of monks in the door, and there are many Jindan and Yuan Shendao people.

It is said that the founder of this Guiqing Sect is a few true immortals who have attained the Tao, and there are often immortals in the mountains, and the immortal method, heritage, and strength are all considered to be the best sects in the Middle Earth world.

"What a fairy," Zhou Zhou was a little excited.

He had just entered the flood famine, and met the old man Gongji, and after taking a small step in the flood famine, he met the Xuandu ** master...... Therefore, it is normal to have a high point of vision.

Zhou Zhiyan beside her sneered: "Look at you like this, don't you look down on the true immortals?"

She just wanted to laugh at Zhou Zhou, but she didn't want to say that she was in Zhou Zhou's mentality.

"How come, after all, I'm just a little Daorong monk," Zhou Zhou sneered, but his eyes became more and more determined: "But I cultivate immortals for immortality, and I will also cultivate into golden immortals in the future!"

Zhou Zhiyan turned her head and pretended not to know this guy, and some monks passing by gave Zhou Zhou a 'goodwill' smile.

Oh, this person has no Yuan Force fluctuations on his body, he should still be a mortal.

Young people, the mind is simple.

The road to becoming an immortal is long and long, and if you don't become an immortal, you're just an ant in the eyes of an immortal, and after you become an immortal, you're just an ant in the eyes of a powerful person. On the long road of seeking immortals and seeking the truth, the vast majority of monks will be trapped in one realm and will eventually die and be reincarnated.

Golden Immortals?

The monks who passed by laughed and said nothing.

After inquiring carefully for a long time, most of the casual cultivators in this town wanted to join the Guiqing Sect, or wanted to join the Guiqing Sect and were turned away, so they settled here. It took hundreds of years of accumulation before many people gathered and stayed here.

Guiqing Sect is a monastic sect that emerged after the canonization of gods, at the border between Middle-earth and Nanzhan Buzhou.

Although it has a history of several thousand years, it is incomparably long in the eyes of ordinary monks, almost the longevity of a one-yuan Shintoist, and it is even more incomprehensible in the eyes of mortals, thinking that it is incomparably far away. But in the eyes of the true immortals who have lived past the One Yuan Society, it is the years of several retreats and practices.

In the eyes of Jin Xian and Da Luo, there was a snap of his fingers.

Therefore, in terms of the scope of the flood famine, the monastic sect of Guiqing Sect can be regarded as a 'new establishment'. It is reasonable for the newly established sect to want to carry forward the Taoist system and recruit disciples, but this recruitment of disciples is to increase the cause and effect of the sect, and their conditions for accepting people are also quite harsh.

In the midst of the flood, there were countless sects of monasticism, but after the gods, the world of Middle-earth was occupied by the teachings, and the disciples were all selected and accepted. Unlike before the gods, there were some mountain gates set up by sectarians, and they pursued education without class.

In these sects, no one can rank one, two, three, four, which is meaningless, and it is easy to anger some powers.

Besides, how can outsiders know the heels and backgrounds of the various sects and sects? Maybe some inconspicuous hill, the kind of disciples of four or five sect people, will be the Taoist inheritance handed down by the righteous gods of the heavenly court.

Another example is that the mountains of Taiqing Road are deserted......

There are only a few mountain gates established by the Golden Immortals, protected by the Golden Immortals, and they are the leaders of the monastic sects by the monks of Middle-earth, but those gates are all in the most central blessed places in Middle-earth, not in this 'remote area'.

Zhou Zhou took Zhou Zhiyan to walk around Fang Town for a long time, in order to make a little preparation for entering the Xianmen, Zhou Zhou took more than ten pieces of low-quality magic weapons and exchanged them for thousands of catties of gold. He had heard that some sects would use magic circles to brew gold ore in underground ore veins, and he had completely accepted such a thing as calculating gold by catties.

He came to Guiqing Sect, not because Guiqing Sect was a big faction, but because it was relatively close, he didn't want to run too far.

Therefore, they will stand at the foot of the Lingta Mountain, ready to go to this Guiqing Sect to try their luck.

Zhou Zhiyan's expression was a little strange, and she was a little sullen along the way. Zhou Zhou saw it in his eyes and didn't care about her, and it was good to have clean ears.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, looking at the white jade gate standing on the mountainside, before stepping on the smooth stone steps, Zhou Zhou said to her: "I came here to join the sect, not to apprentice for the immortal law, are you sure you want to follow?"

"Didn't I say it all, I'll go where you go, and no one will accept me when I apprentice. ”

Zhou Zhiyan looked a little impatient, and if she looked closely, she should be a little anxious.

remembered that she had said that there were guards who had tried it in several sects, and this Guiqing Sect was a famous sect in the vicinity for tens of thousands of miles, and it was recruiting disciples, so she should have been here. It is estimated that he was frustrated at the beginning, and there are some shadows in his heart.

Zhou Zhou didn't comfort her anything, for her, this was also a kind of mood training.

Occasionally a few monks fell from mid-air and landed outside the gate, but only Zhou Zhou and Zhou Zhiyan would go on foot.

After climbing the mountain over a thousand steps, the open space in front of the white jade gate can already be seen.

It was a clearing place, and there were more than 100 figures standing or sitting on it, all of them waiting for the 'opening of the Immortal Gate' once every three years in the Qingzong Sect. The gate is ten zhang high, ten zhang wide, there is a flow of light and shadow seems to be the magic circle enchantment, there is a plaque on the gate of the Yuanmen, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance carved two big characters:

Returning to the green.

"Well, that's a pretty good name, I like it. ”

Zhou Zhou smiled with satisfaction, and took Zhou Zhiyan to find a corner where no one was, and Shi Shiran sat down cross-legged. "Let's cultivate, it's still a few days before the door opens, and we can just get in. ”

Zhou Zhiyan stood behind him, staring at this gate, biting her lip lightly.

I still remember that it was my father who learned the date of Guiqingzong's acceptance of apprentices, and asked her to come to apprentice. There were more than a thousand chariots and entourage, countless gold, silver and jewelry, and it was the same at that time, there were hundreds of people here, and she also let the guards open the way and be arrogant.

But when she entered the mountain gate, she was told that there would be no monks above the golden pill to take her as an apprentice, and she could only be a miscellaneous disciple......

Zhou Zhou's voice fell into her ears: "Cultivating the Tao and seeking the truth, what is the truth? Only immortality is true, and the others are just clouds of the past." Only mortals know honor and disgrace, and monks only ask about immortality. ”

"Oh," Zhou Zhiyan bowed her head in response, and Zhou Zhou's words, I don't know if she heard it in her heart. She took out the cushion and spread it on the stone slab, and meditated cross-legged behind Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou, who was meditating, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the monks around him, and thought about what he should do next.

When he came, he inquired clearly, the monastic sects all recruited cultivators, and some disciples did not need to learn other people's Taoism. As long as it can be added, even if it is a boy who sweeps the floor, it is counted as a disciple of this sect.

The triennial collective recruitment is also a bit like the 'enrollment' in Zhou Zhou's impression, but it is said that at most a dozen people can join the Guiqing Sect each time, and only four or five people can worship famous teachers.

"If there is a selection or something, as long as it is not too eye-catching, then it is estimated that it will be. ”

He muttered, most of these Daoists around him are in the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, there are more than thirty Dao Rong cultivators, but most of them are Dao Rong Beginner Realm, and there is even a teenager, who is in a similar situation as Zhou Zhiyan.

In order to show their sincerity, most of the monks had been waiting here for months, and there were countless cooks buried in pots, and there were even two rows of thatched huts in one corner, and smoke was rising from the cooking smoke.

Zhou Zhou sighed lightly: "The tuition fee for cultivating immortals is expensive, and the cultivation sect is pitted...... It's not easy for the monks. ”

A chuckle came from behind him, and Zhou Zhiyan said, "What are you feeling old-fashioned?"

"Is there any old-fashionedness?" Zhou Zhouwan chuckled. His heart moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the sky, and saw a purple light coming slowly, a little speechless.

In front of the mountain gate, the monks also discovered the location of the paper kite, causing a little commotion.

"It's a messenger paper kite, it should be going to the mountain. ”

"Rare things, how did they fall to our side. ”

"It's a chance! Whoever can get it is whoever! Look at my photography method!"

Just as a few monks were about to take the 'kite' in their hands, some yuan force fluctuations just surged in front of the mountain gate, and the paper kite suddenly accelerated, turning into a purple streamer, shooting towards Zhou Zhou, who was meditating with his head down and pretending not to see anything.

The paper kite circled around Zhou Zhou a few times, and purple light dots sprinkled all over him, not to mention how eye-catching......

Zhou Zhou was helpless, stretched out his left hand, and took the paper kite.

The monks in front of the door were asking each other who this person was, and there was a paper kite to find it. Someone knew what this paper kite was, so it spread among the crowd, and the eyes of these monks looking at Zhou Zhou also became a little subtle.

There are even a few people who are ready to move, and they want to come over to talk to Zhou Zhou and take a good fate.

Zhou Zhou glanced at the words on the paper kite, of course, it was written by Dongfang Yu'er, and there was only one sentence on it:

Yu'er has already passed on the message, and in the near future, he will retreat and condense the pill as a cultivation plan, and I hope to encourage you together. ’

Ning Dan?

Zhou Zhou felt a little happy in his heart, thinking that it had been three years, Dongfang Yu'er had outstanding qualifications and was an eldest lady of the cultivation sect, so it was normal to enter the realm faster.

He wanted to tell her not to be greedy for merit, the Dao Foundation needed to be forged repeatedly, but suddenly realized that he was only in the late stage of Dao Rong, and he didn't know how long he was still from consummation, how could he be qualified to preach to others?

Forget it.

Xiao Yu doesn't know how she is cultivating now, spiritual cultivation is all based on diaries, and it is difficult for her to cultivate any Taoism for hundreds of years.

It's only been three years......

In the past three years, I have even used 'talent', and after cultivating by myself, my state of mind is really slowly changing.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Zhou Zhiyan came over to the side, and there was no text on the paper kite, "What did you say to you again?"

Zhou Zhou's face darkened, put away the paper kite, and was not ready to reply to Dongfang Yu'er. "You are also a county lord, you are good when you open your mouth, and you are not afraid of being laughed at. ”

"I now say that I am the lord of Beijing, who believes me?" Zhou Zhiyan rolled her eyes, and she whispered: "These monks around are looking at you, be careful." ”

"It's okay, this is the mountain gate of Guiqing Sect, and no one will mess around. ”

Zhou Zhou turned a blind eye to the eyes around him, and the sound of those discussions about him was automatically filtered behind his ears.

I didn't go to spread my spiritual sense, so as not to be taboo by the Guiqing Sect, and honestly waited for someone to open the mountain gate to recruit disciples, but it was just a few days of hard work, and it would be over in the blink of an eye.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars are turning, and there are really not many monks coming back these days, and those who want to enter the fairy gate are waiting here early. And Zhou Zhou and Zhou Zhiyan are almost the last to come.

At noon on this day, among the mountains, on the main peak of the pagoda, there was a faint sound of bells.

These monks in front of the mountain gate had already stood and waited, crowded in front of the mountain gate, as if whoever went in first would grab the entrance spot.

"Fellow Daoists, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

A clear voice came out of the mountain gate, the light and shadow flowed, like rippling water, and seven young Shuguan Dao people walked out of the mountain gate, all dressed in dark Taoist robes, and they all bowed to the monks in front of the door.

I didn't say much, just one sentence: "Please get started." ”

It made these monks waiting in front of the door excited, and a few of them couldn't wait to rush to the water wave and shadow of the mountain gate, but before they could touch the light wave, they let out a few muffled snorts at the same time, and they were all 'bounced' back by the light gate.

Zhou Zhou in the crowd narrowed his eyes, "Sure enough...... Tryouts aren't just races. ”

Zhou Zhiyan beside him could only roll his eyes.
