Chapter 1: Entering the Qing Void Sect
Clouds and mist drift, mountain peaks looming, the slightest breeze in the sky, and the sun is warm. It is a continuous mountain range, in which the peaks are majestic, high or low, towering in the mist, looking from afar, appearing and disappearing, giving people a sense of mystery and unfathomability.
In the east of the mountains, at the foot of the mountains. At this time, there was a lot of people gathering. It seems that they are all here to see the mystery of the mountains.
"Grandpa, why are there so many people?" A little girl of four or five years old, with two small hands, tightly grasped the big hand of an old man next to her, for fear of being squeezed away by the crowd around her.
The girl's appearance is delicate and beautiful, but there is a hint of cuteness on her red face. The eyes are large and watery, and when the eyelashes blink, they reveal the beauty of agility from time to time. He simply wore two small braids on his head, and he was not wearing any fancy clothes, but despite this, he was clean and fresh.
When the old man heard this, his eyes were kind, he looked down at the little girl beside him kindly, bent down, picked up the girl, and said in a harmonious voice: "Of course, this year is the day when the Qingxu Sect opens the mountain and accepts disciples, so naturally there are many people who come to send their children to the mountain gate!" β
In the noisy voices of the surrounding people, the conversation between the old man and the child seemed to be insignificant, and even if the people around heard it, they didn't care much.
Just when everyone was talking, the little girl saw a wave of water on the mountainside in front of her, and a figure gradually appeared in what originally seemed to be an ordinary mountain road. After a slight count, there were about two dozen people.
Four or five-year-old children, eyes are sharp, although the distance is very far, but the child still sees very clearly, there are men and women in the front of the twenty or so people, but look at the age, they are all in their twenties, wearing robes of different colors, all of them are bamboo hairpins and other tops, cranes and clouds, quite a bit of fairy spirit.
After looking behind these people, after a slight ripple, they returned to their previous appearance. Didn't see any difference. The girl was a little nervous and grabbed her grandfather's clothes, and her palms were sweating a lot.
The old man felt the girl's nervousness, and couldn't help but tighten his hands tightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Ziyi, it's okay, these big brothers, big sisters, are all good people!" They are all immortals! β
"Immortals?"
Qingxu Sect, in the generation of Taojia Village, is quite a famous sect, although in the world of cultivating immortals, at most it can be regarded as a second-rate small sect, but in the eyes of mortals, these are just monks in the late stage of qi refining, and those who can fly with a sword are no different from immortals.
However, immortal cultivators knew that the Qi refining period was just a beginner's stage among cultivators, and there was still a distance of 108,000 miles from a true immortal.
Seeing someone come out, the tens of thousands of people under the mountain almost stopped their voices at the same time, and all of them focused on the two dozen people on the mountainside.
These people seemed to be very useful for this kind of attention, and they all stared at the audience with satisfied faces, and saw that the surroundings were completely quiet, and one of them, a man about thirty years old, took a few steps forward, looked sharply at the men, women and children below, and coughed lightly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, welcome to our Qingxu Sect!" Today is the day when our Qingxu Sect opened the mountain to receive disciples, thank you for your hard work and send your beloved to this sect"
The man's voice was loud, but it made Xiao Ziyi feel drowsy. Listening to this man's painless tirade, Xiao Ziyi felt dizzy for a while, and such an opening statement was spoken for half an hour.
"Okay, from now on, my junior sister, Qingshan, will tell you about the conditions for getting started!" The man finally ended his clichΓ© when Xiao Ziyi was about to fall asleep, and in a flash, a woman wearing lotus-colored spruce walked out, obviously, this woman was not very suitable for this kind of occasion, and said in a somewhat nervous voice:
"Fellow villagers, uncles, uncles, Qingxu Sect, every five years, they will recruit a group of disciples in nearby villages and towns, as the heirs of the sect, there will also be outstanding people among them, who will be recruited as disciples by various elders and even the sect master himself, and the future will be bright from now on.
So, now, please everyone, the children who are going to enter the mountain to cultivate immortals stay, folks, please take care of yourself, a month later, everyone will come again, listen to the news! β
In an instant, tens of thousands of people left their children and heirs one after another. Just kidding, which of the immortals dares not to listen to the requirements of the immortals?
Xiao Ziyi was mixed in the crowd, staring back at her grandfather with a confused and frightened face. At this time, the old man had already walked a long way, stopped and stopped, his eyes staring at Xiao Ziyi, his face full of concern.
The water halo on the mountainside rippled, and thousands of children of different ages followed these two dozen people into it one after another. After a while, looking at the originally bustling and overcrowded foothills, there were only a few parents left watching from afar.
Xiao Ziyi felt that her eyes were blooming for a while, and when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she felt that her eyes lit up. Beneath your feet is a winding and rugged mountain road, which seems to be built by hand and climbs countless steps, and this step alone is dizzying to see.
While walking up, looking at the surrounding scenery, she may subconsciously know that this is the place where the 'immortals' live, so Xiao Ziyi feels that the grass and trees here seem to be greener than she usually sees, and the flowers are also gorgeous.
Looking around, I didn't feel bored, but after walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ziyi seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, as if these countless steps had never ended, and after walking for so long, it seemed that she still hadn't reached the end.
"Oops! Why is this mountain so high? β
"Yes! I'm so tired! β
"Wow!"
Many of the children began to mumble, and some even sobbed and cried.
The twenty or so monks in front of them were not impressed, as if they had not seen such a situation at all, but a dozen of them walked in front of the children, followed by a few, escorting the children to continue their journey towards the mountain.
Xiao Ziyi also felt tired, and also wanted to sit down and rest, but remembering her grandfather's expectant gaze, she had to tighten her teeth and continue to walk up in the crowd without saying a word.
When the sun was setting in the west, Xiao Ziyi and other children finally saw the 'light' from afar! Those were two Optimus stone pillars, all white, carved with patterns that Xiao Ziyi couldn't understand at all.
When they came to the front of the two pillars, the figure of the woman named Qingshan stopped before, and at the same time, the monks also stood still. I heard Qingshan say: "Everyone stand in line and walk between the two pillars one by one!" β
