"Yes, master. The young Taoist priest retreated.

After breaking the maze, Xu Daoyun felt that his mood was clear, and as far as he could see, the birds and birds on Longnan Peak were circling, the breeze caressed his ears, and his anxious mood was also much more happy and quiet.

He boasted step by step up the stone steps, walked up to the flat ground, and saw a young man in a light blue Taoist robe looking at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Daoyou, you have become the first student to pass the Taoist test, under the door of the lower Taoist Ding Yangzi, the master has been waiting under the corridor of the front hall for a long time, Daoist friends, please come with me." ”

Xu Daoyun returned the salute with a fist, "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”

The two walked into the mountain gate, came to the foot of a mist-shrouded hill, a building that seemed to be a pavilion and not a pavilion, and a building that seemed to be a hall and not a hall stood on it.

Xu Daoyun looked forward to it more and more, he followed Ding Yangzi up the hillside, came to the front hall, looked up, and saw three gilded characters written on the plaque - Wujizhu.

Ding Yangzi arched his hand and said, "Master, someone brought it." ”

"Come in. An old voice sounded, and Xu Daoyun tried to look towards the hall, but the white gauze tents were layered on top of each other, fluttering in the wind, and they couldn't see clearly at all.

Ding Yangzi stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, you will know when you go in." ”

Xu Daoyun scratched his head, followed him into the Wuji Building, and through the white gauze tent, he saw that the main hall was extremely wide and ventilated on all sides.

The ornaments inside are also simple, only a few candlesticks, two screens, a few futons, and a Tai Chi Bagua diagram on the wall.

On the futon under the Taiji diagram, there is an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a wooden hairpin on his head.

His eyes were tightly closed, his white beard and white hair fluttered in the wind, and he looked like a master of the fairy wind bones, and the aura on his body even made Xu Daoyun a little breathless.

This old Taoist priest gave Xu Daoyun the feeling that he was even more dangerous than the Confucian master Cao Zizheng.

Xu Daoyun bowed his hand and said, "Junior Xu Daoyun, meet the senior." ”

The old Taoist priest opened his cloudy eyes, and in an instant, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, but it quickly returned to peace, and he smiled in a kind voice: "Your name is Xu Daoyun?"

Although the sound was peaceful, the sound waves rolled out, like stormy waves.

Xu Daoyun knew that this might be a test for the old Taoist, so he used Xuan Gong to inject his true qi into the ground, like a big tree taking root, without moving, and replied, "Exactly." ”

Ding Yangzi at the door of the store was smiling, and his eyes were unwavering.

The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded his head, "Good name, from now on, you will be my Taoist disciple." ”

After that, the old Taoist priest flicked his fingers and shot out an arc of light that swept into the jade slip on Xu Daoyun's waist.

"The master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice. Xu Daoyun made a disciple salute.

Ding Yangzi stepped forward, handed over a book of genealogy, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Daoyun, this "Tao Te Ching" has been collected, and it will be recited day and night from now on, and the deep meaning can be understood. ”

Xu Daoyun took the Tao Te Ching with both hands and thanked him.

The old Taoist priest said: "You have a sad face, as if you are worried. Check it out and come back before sunset. ”

Xu Daoyun thought to himself, he is worthy of being a senior master, and he can actually perceive people's hearts, which is really powerful. With a happy face, he thanked him, "Thank you, Master." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the outside of Wuji Building, and after only a few steps, the old Taoist priest suddenly said, "Slow." ”

Xu Daoyun paused, turned around and said respectfully: "Master, what else do you have to order?"

The old Taoist priest waved his hand and threw away a scroll of books, closed his eyes, and his voice was hoarse and low, "This "Xuanwei True Dao" is my Taoist method, you must practice diligently, and you must not pass it on to outsiders, remember?"

Xu Daoyun took the book slip and shook it to the end: "Master Xie." ”

After Xu Daoyun walked down the hill, Ding Yangzi smiled and said, "The disciple has never seen a master so optimistic about a person." ”

The old Taoist priest lowered his head and said with a smile: "This child is related to the Tao, and he has a firm heart, outstanding talent, and is a natural cultivator, if he doesn't carve it well, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"What the master said is very true. ”

Xu Daoyun walked out of the mountain gate and found that many students were rushing here, and it seemed that they were all planning to join the Taoist sect.

When they saw Xu Daoyun walking out of the mountain gate alone, they thought that he had failed the test and was driven out of the mountain gate, and their eyes were full of disdain and schadenfreude, but when they saw Xu Daoyun hanging a different jade slip around his waist, their faces changed.

This jade slip can only be worn by a disciple who has joined the Taoist test, so to speak, he has already passed the test.

At this moment, the eyes of the students looking at Xu Daoyun have changed dramatically, some admire, some are jealous, some are envious, and some are unwilling.

Xu Daoyun took in the changes in these people's demeanor, but he ignored them and walked in the opposite direction alone, in stark contrast to the students.

Coming to the place where Fang Cai and Tie Niu were separated, Xu Daoyun identified the direction and walked towards the Bingjia Tiger Mountain.

At this time, the vast majority of students have passed the neon test, began to participate in the test of each family, the mountain road is overcrowded, some students who are anxious can not stand such a grinding walk, directly perform light skills to jump on the treetops, everywhere the mountain tops.

Xu Daoyun walked on the mountain road of Swallowing Tiger Mountain, and found that the students who came to participate in the military selection were all tall, carrying long weapons, and they looked powerful, but compared to the iron bull, it was a big deal.

was walking with the flow of people, and suddenly a mocking voice sounded behind him, "Hmph, a person who learns swords dares to come to the soldier's house, I really don't know what to do." ”

The other person chimed in: "That is, what is the use of a light and fluttering sword, which is weak and weak?"

"Sword cultivation has long since declined, and there are still people who can't think of learning swords these days? I see, either this person is a fool or a fool. ”

Xu Daoyun stopped and looked back, only to see two tall young men looking at him with sarcasm on their faces.

Seeing Xu Daoyun look back, the young man with a long stick on his shoulder sneered: "What, don't accept it?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head and said, "I am a Taoist disciple. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, looked down, and sure enough, he saw a Taoist jade slip hanging from Xu Daoyun's waist, he snorted coldly and said, "Since you have entered the Taoist family, why do you want to come to my soldier's house to join in the fun?"

"Are you a soldier?" Xu Daoyun grinned and sneered: "You don't seem to have officially become a disciple of the soldier family, what qualifications do you have to say this? Besides, even if you are a disciple of the soldier family, you can come if you want to, and you can leave if you want, what can you do with me?"

The young man was furious, approached Xu Daoyun in two steps, stared at him condescendingly, and said in a low voice: "Boy, you are very arrogant." ”

Xu Daoyun frowned, took half a step back, waved his hand, and said in disgust: "Please stand far away when you speak, you have bad breath, everyone keep your distance, hello and me." ”

The surrounding students all laughed when they heard this, and the young man's face turned red, he glared at Xu Daoyun, gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, are you looking for death!"

Xu Daoyun folded his arms around his chest and looked directly at the other party, "Even if I look for death, you still dare to do it?"

"Why wouldn't I dare. The young man's voice grew colder.

"The student who has not yet joined the military family killed my Taoist disciple, do you think that if such a thing happens, my Taoist will let you go? Do you think the military family will provoke the Taoist for the sake of a simple-minded fool like you?"

The young man froze in place, his face changing, and the resentment in his heart became more and more unforgettable.

Xu Daoyun shook his head and sighed, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence, "Grow tall and don't have brains, learn to be smart in the future, don't humiliate yourself." ”

When Xu Daoyun disappeared into the crowd, the young man finally gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Little animal, I will make you pay!"

Xu Daoyun walked into the gate of Swallowing Tiger Mountain, and an endless school field appeared in sight, the school field was extremely wide and wide, and there was a high platform in the center, and the high platform was full of students who came to participate in the military test.

Maybe the Iron Bull is there too.

Xu Daoyun followed everyone over, but he could only be regarded as the shortest among these people, and he couldn't see anyone in front of him at all, even if he stood on tiptoe, it would not help.

As long as Xu Daoyun squeezed out of the crowd, jumped onto a stone pillar next to the high platform, swept his eyes through the crowd, and saw an extremely eye-catching figure when he landed.

This person is more than seven feet tall, with black hair and scattered black skin, dark skin, and a black halberd and red bow, standing in the crowd, taller than everyone else, really standing out from the crowd.

Xu Daoyun looked happy and called, "Iron Bull." ”

The tower-like figure turned his head to look, and when he saw Xu Daoyun on the stone pillar, the black face that was originally solemn suddenly showed a sincere smile.

He squeezed out of the crowd, looked at Xu Daoyun who fell from the stone pillar, and said with a smile: "Big brother, have you passed the test?"

Xu Daoyun flicked the jade slip on his waist and said with a smile: "I have now officially become a Taoist disciple, and the master also gave me a copy of "Xuanwei True Dao" for me to study carefully. ”

"Congratulations, big brother. A big smile appeared on Tie Niu's face.

"Xu Daoyun. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind her.

Xu Daoyun looked up, was startled, swallowed his saliva, and stumbled: "Chen ...... Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

The person who came was Chen Rui, she strode over, staring at Xu Daoyun with a smile, and after discovering his small movements on the side, she smiled and said, "What are you doing in a secret, tell me, which one have you joined?"

Xu Daoyun's face was extremely embarrassed, so he had to remove the hand holding Yu Jian, and said with a dry smile: "Haha, I... I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be too much. ”

Chen Rui nodded and said with a meaningful smile: "Very good, you have a lot of ideas." ”

After that, he passed by Xu Daoyun and walked up the stone steps to the high platform.

Xu Daoyun breathed a sigh of relief, sighed again, and said: "It's troublesome, but it shouldn't be a problem, anyway, I have become a Taoist disciple, and I won't go to Yun Weisi and the Legalist family in a short time, and after a long time, she will naturally forget about it." ”

"What the eldest brother said is extremely true. ”

Xu Daoyun glanced sideways at the dense crowd of students under the high platform, and asked, "Tie Niu, hasn't the military test started yet?"

Iron Bull shook his head, "No." He raised his hand and pointed to a young man in armor on the high platform, and said, "He said that when everyone arrives, the competition will divide the victory and defeat, leave half and go half." ”

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "That's easy, it's not a problem for you at all, I don't think it's a problem for you to take the first place." ”

Tie Niu said: "If the eldest brother wants me to take it, I will take it." ”

Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly, "You just do your best, it doesn't matter if you take the first place or not, of course you can get better, after all, we cultivators are going to compete for high and low scores." ”

Iron Bull nodded.

After waiting for a long time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, but there were still students coming from the mountain gate one after another, and they couldn't start for a while.

Xu Daoyun took out four pots of fresh three brews from the Qiankun bag and handed them to Tie Niu, and said: "Tie Niu, take these wines to relieve boredom, big brother go to a few other houses to have a look, you can rest assured, when the game starts, big brother will definitely rush back." ”

Tie Niu took the flask and said, "Okay." ”

Xu Daoyun turned around and walked towards the outside of the school field.

In the crowd, the young man with a long stick on his shoulder was staring coldly at Xu Daoyun's back, and after he disappeared from sight, he turned his head to look at Tie Niu, a little angry at him.

Iron Bull snapped back at his senses.

The young man was stunned by the tiger of the iron bull, and his face turned pale when he landed, like falling into an ice cave, and he immediately looked away, not daring to look there again.

Xu Daoyun walked out of Longhu Mountain, but met a few acquaintances.

Huang Yanyao and the others also saw Xu Daoyun, and hurriedly waved their hands and greeted, "Brother Daoyun." ”

Xu Daoyun walked over, looked Yan Dengwu up and down, and asked, "How are you recovering from your injuries?"

Yan Dengwu said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and there were no secret injuries, and now I have recovered as before." He shook it to the end and said, "Thank you Brother Daoyun for your help!"

Gong Yuancai and Li Wenjuan also bowed and saluted in unison, "Thank you." ”

Xu Daoyun hurriedly helped the three of them up, and said with a smile: "We are peers, what kind of system is it to do this great gift?"

Yan Dengwu said: "Luming Mountain is full of demons, nine deaths, Daoyun brothers disregard their own safety, break into the demon nest to save each other, this kindness, even if I Yan Dengwu is liver and brain, it is difficult to repay the kindness." ”

Xu Daoyun waved his hand and said: "Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you so polite? You are all my friends, how can I have a reason not to save me when I see death? As for kindness... Find an opportunity, you invite me and my brother to a drink, even if it is a return of the favor. ”

Yan Dengwu's heart was moved, the tip of his nose was sour, his eyes were full of tears, and he immediately burst into tears and smiled, and nodded heavily, "I, Yan Dengwu, can be friends with you in this life, it is really the creation of several generations of cultivation." ”

Huang Yanyao couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay, you two big men, don't be so insensitive." Xu Daoyun, when you came out of Tiger Swallowing Mountain, did you fail the test of the soldiers?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head, "No, I'm here to see if my brother has passed the test." ”
