On the cloud shuttle, Chiyang Zhenren ordered: "Xiaoyi, you send a message to your friend now." It would be rude for me to bother him. ”

"Yes." Zhang Yichen took out a paper crane and sent it to Wei Chi Sanquan, explaining that he would immediately accompany the three real people in the sect to visit Mu Wan. At the end, he also deliberately pointed out that he should not tell Mu Wan about this.

Qingyuan's real eyes flowed, and Ying Ying smiled: "Master Zhang's nephew is good, and he is a good person." ”

Chiyang Zhenren nodded: "Well, he is very sincere." ”

Zhang Yichen lowered his eyes and said secretly: I have confidence in Xiaowan!

The group soon arrived at Jingtai City.

Jingtai City was protected by Taiyi and did not enforce a curfew. The four gates are open at all times. When they arrived, Wei Chi Sanquan was already waiting at the gate of the East City.

Zhang Yichen introduced him to three real people.

We are all real people and belong to the same generation. When they met for the first time, they were called "Taoist friends" and greeted each other.

Wei Chi Sanquan said bluntly: "The front door of the humble house is located on the main street, and it is very inconvenient for people to come and go. Little girl Mu was placed in the east wing of the backyard. If the three Taoist friends don't dislike it, they might as well go directly to the backyard with them. ”

Among the three of them, Chiyang Zhenren's cultivation is the highest, and he, as a senior brother of the sect, said: "This is very good. There are Lao Daoyou. ”

So, they hid themselves and went straight into the courtyard of Wei Chi's house from the back street.

Outside the east wing, everyone stood still.

Qingyuan Zhenren snorted at Zhang Yichen and motioned for him to go in by himself.

Zhang Yichen nodded and took a deep breath. Push the door in.

"Knock-" The small eight doors and nine star arrays were touched, and the sound of bells rang.

Mu Wan put down the book in her hand, jumped off the red sandalwood carved bed, and walked out of the inner room quickly.

Uncle Zhang pushed open the door, closed the door, and sat down on a rosewood Taishi chair in front of the screen.

"Uncle Shi!" Mu Wan came out from behind the screen, and when she saw that it was him, she was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle Shi, are you done?"

Uncle Zhang let out an "um". Follow the routine set by Qingyuan real people. said: "I went back to the sect this time to implore the master and recommend you to enter the inner gate sword path peak." ”

When Mu Wan heard this, a pair of almond eyes were shocked. Even his breathing suddenly became tighter.

Uncle Zhang continued: "But. Little late. Your qualifications are just too poor. Master respect, his old man has done his best. After saying this, according to Qingyuan Zhenren's request, he had to stop for a while. Yes. He paused.

Mu Wan let out an "oh", lowered her eyes, and hid the gloom in her eyes.

Uncle Zhang said again: "However, Uncle Qingyu also cares about you. Uncle Shi recommended you to Uncle Qingyuan of Kendo Peak. ”

Mu Wan's heart came up again. At the same time, she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Uncle Shi has learned to speak with twists and turns?

She had a gut feeling that next, Uncle Shi's words would be folded back!

Sure enough, Uncle Zhang said: "Uncle Qingyuan said that with your qualifications, you can only be a sword slave for her. ”

Mu Wan frowned. I don't know what a sword slave does, but the name doesn't sound like a good choice.

Uncle Zhang asked, "Xiaowan, what about you, would you like to be Uncle Qingyuan's sword slave?" ”

"Uncle Shi, what is a sword slave?"

Uncle Zhang explained: "Uncle Qingyuan is a sword cultivator, and the maid who serves her is called a sword slave. There is also a Dantong in the disciple's courtyard where I am. The two are one and the same, but they are called differently. The sect will open its doors once every ten years to receive disciples. There are many people with poor qualifications, and they don't want to be outer disciples, so they want to enter the inner gate, so they enter the sect as slaves. The aura of the inner door is much richer than that of the outer door. As a slave in the inner gate, as long as you have enough contribution points, you can also exchange exercises and practice on your own. If you can get the favor of a real person one day, there is also a chance to serve in front of a real person. If the real person is happy, sometimes he will personally instruct the personal waiter. ”

Mu Wan understood. The so-called sword slave, to put it bluntly, is to go to Kendo Peak to be a slave.

Sister is not happy!

First, she didn't want to be a slave. Yes, she is bent on becoming stronger, but that doesn't mean she'll do whatever it takes to get stronger. So, do something, don't do something. She didn't want to use this grievance to become stronger.

Second, she has secrets such as space and Xiangxiang, and she is not suitable for being a sword slave for real people.

Therefore, without hesitation, she raised her little face and firmly refused: "Senior Uncle, the disciple is very grateful to Uncle Qingyuan for his love, but the disciple has no intention of being a sword slave." ”

According to the routine set by Uncle Qingyuan, Uncle Zhang still has to persuade him.

"Xiaowan, the conditions outside and inside are very difficult, with your qualifications, when you go to the outer gate, you are born to raise, I am afraid that the fairy road will be even more difficult. And entering the inner door to be a sword slave is only a temporary strategy, not a lifetime of slavery. If you can get into the eyes of Uncle Qingyuan, win the favor of Uncle Qingyuan, and become a miscellaneous disciple of the inner gate, it is not impossible. In the inner gate, there are not only one or two cases of turning from slaves and maids to miscellaneous disciples. In the Nine Great Peaks, there are many such examples. You are very talented in kendo, and if you can enter the peak of kendo, whether you are a sword slave or a miscellaneous disciple, you are many times stronger than self-cultivation in the outer gate. What's more, Uncle Qingyuan is not an ordinary person. Uncle Shi is a famous female sword cultivator on the kendo peak, and she has outstanding attainments in kendo. If she has the heart to give you a point or two, it will really be better than your penance for many years. ”

Mu Wan still shook her head: "Uncle Shi, the disciple knows that you are planning for the disciple. Uncle Shi's kindness, the disciple understands it. However, the disciple really didn't want to be a sword slave. ”

In fact, in Uncle Zhang's own opinion, being a sword slave is not a good way out, and it is really strong to go to the outer door for self-cultivation. So, what he just said was all heartfelt.

Seeing Mu Wan's categorical refusal, he was very puzzled and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Mu Wan replied truthfully: "The disciple's cultivation is indeed to become stronger. However, the reason why the disciple wants to become strong is because he wants to be his own master and seek to be at ease. Being a sword slave, as Uncle Shi said, may be better than self-cultivation in the outer door. However, this move was contrary to the original intention of the disciples' cultivation. In the eyes of the disciples, this is a move to abandon the original and chase the last. And there is. No matter how bitter the conditions of the outer gate are, can they be bitter beyond the mortal world? At least, the aura of the outer gate doesn't know how many times stronger than the mortal world. Uncle Shi, as long as you can become stronger, the disciple is not afraid to endure thousands of hardships and suffering. What's more, no matter how hard the outer gate is, there is also the protection of the sect, and you can practice with peace of mind. Also, didn't Uncle Shi say it before? As long as the disciple builds the foundation. Naturally, you can enter the inner door. Teacher. Believe in the disciples, and the disciples will definitely build the foundation! ”

Uncle Zhang shook his head again and again, and praised: "Ambitious." ”

Mu Wan smiled.

Next, Uncle Zhang spit out the astonishing words again: "But." You don't have to wait for the foundation to be laid. There is an opportunity to enter the inner door right in front of you. ”

Mu Wan was overjoyed. "What chance?" he asked. ”

"Next year is the year of the Inner Door Competition. In general, before the inner door, the outer door will be held a year in advance. The top three finishers in the Outer Door Contest will qualify for the Inside Tournament. But. The outer door Dabi ended two months ago. Uncle Qingyuan said that if you want, she can give you a chance to compete. As long as you can enter the top fifty, she can consider accepting you as a nominal disciple. Would you like to participate in the Inner Gate Competition? ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Wanxing's eyes nodded violently, and cheered: "Yes, the disciple is willing!" ”

Uncle Zhang stroked his forehead, secretly scolded a "stupid child", and persuaded: "Xiaowan, do you know how many people participate in the Inner Gate Competition?" What kind of cultivation are they? "You don't know anything, you just agree, it's really unbelievable!

Mu Wan shook her head.

Uncle Zhang stretched out a finger: "There are nearly 10,000 disciples in the inner gate. According to the regulations, everyone has to participate in the inner door competition. According to statistics, nearly forty percent of them have cultivated above the seventh level of Qi refining. There are also more than 100 disciples in it. Are you sure you want to participate in the Inner Gate Competition? Also, you think it's easy to get into the top 50? Let me tell you honestly, your uncle and I, as a personal disciple, from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, the best result in the previous Inner Gate Competitions is one hundred and twenty-nine! Also, every time after the inner door competition, the sect is much quieter than before. You know why? ”

"Why?" Mu Wan blinked her eyes.

"Everyone is in retreat! It's not that I'm scaring you, which time I participated in the inner door competition, and I didn't hang the lottery? After a big competition, did you not retreat for several days? ”

Imagining the unlucky appearance of Uncle Shi being beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, Mu Wan laughed out loud.

Uncle Zhang glared at her: "What a smile!" You only need to participate once, and you know it's amazing! "The five-year inner door competition is both loved and hated, but it's definitely not funny.

"The top fifty are really not taken by people!"

Mu Wan stopped laughing and said, "The disciple knows." However, if Master Qingyuan gave him a chance, the disciple didn't even have the courage to give it a try. It makes no difference whether you enter this inner door or not. "There is another point, she didn't explain - nearly 10,000 Qi refining stage disciples competed, what a good opportunity to practice! How can I be willing to miss it!

When she thought of such a grand occasion, her whole body was boiling for no reason!

Immediately, his eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Roar, roar, sister must participate in the inner door competition!

When Uncle Zhang saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

At this time, Qingyuan Zhenren communicated with his divine sense: Master Zhang's nephew, tell the little girl to prepare for life. Next year, the inner door is bigger, and the deity will go to watch her play.

Uncle Zhang came back to his senses and told the truth.

Mu Wan lowered his eyes and hugged his fists and said yes.

Chiyang Zhenren also sent a divine sense and urged: Xiaoyi, go.

Uncle Zhang had no choice but to quickly instruct Mu Wan: "Xiao Wan, you rest early." Tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up and report to the outer gate. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that Mu Wan turned around to send it off, Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said, "No need to send it." You settled it earlier. ”

Mu Wan had to stop.

Uncle Zhang opened the door and went out, turned around and covered the door for her.

In the courtyard, the three real people had already said goodbye to Yu Chi Sanquan. Qingyuan Zhenren sacrificed the cloud shuttle again, and was inviting the two senior brothers to go up.

Zhang Yichen walked over quickly, hugged his fist and thanked Wei Chi Sanquan: "I'm bothering my seniors." "Calling a brother is just a private move. After all, the gap in cultivation is there, so in front of people, he still has to call himself "senior" according to the rules.

Yu Chi Sanquan patted him lightly on the shoulder, and reached out to make a gesture of please.

Zhang Yichen jumped on the cloud shuttle, and after saluting the three real people, he stepped aside and stood with his hands down.

Qingyu Zhenren asked, "Senior Sister Lu, are you still satisfied?" ”

Qingyuan Zhenren chuckled lightly and said, "I'll talk about it after the big competition in the inner door next year." ”

When Zhang Yichen heard this, his eyes darkened slightly.

Of the three places, the Yunxiao Mountain of Chiyang Zhenren is the closest, the Yingyue Ridge of Qingyu Zhenren is slightly farther, and the Wuhualing of Qingyuan Zhenren is the farthest. Yes, Qingyuan Zhenren drove Chuanyun Suo to Yunxiao Mountain first, put down the Chiyang Zhenren master and apprentice, and flew to Yingyue Ridge again, and sent Qingyu Zhenren. In the end, she flew back to Wuhualing.

At the entrance of the cave, her eldest disciple Hao Yuntian was standing under the moon with his hands in his hands, looking forward to it.

Seeing her descend through the cloud shuttle, Hao Yuntian greeted her: "Master, I'm back." ”

Qingyuan Zhenren nodded and ordered: "You will send a message to Zhang Yichen, the second disciple of your Chiyang master's sect, and make an appointment, and tomorrow you will go to the outer gate with him to help the little girl settle down." ”

Hao Yuntian frowned: "Master does this, I'm afraid that some people will look unpleasant and find trouble with the little girl." ”

Qingyuan Zhenren looked at him and said with a smile: "Over the years, have you ever been afraid that they will find trouble?" ”

Hao Yuntian shook his head: "Of course not!" ”

"Well, she is the same, there must be none!"

On Yunxiao Mountain, Zhang Yichen followed Chiyang Zhenren into the cave, looking a little depressed.

Chiyang Zhenren sat down on the green jade futon on the couch, glared at him, and said angrily: "Look at you, what kind of eyesight are you!" ”

What do you mean! Uncle Zhang immediately came to his senses, staring at his master with bright eyes.

Alas, my stupid apprentice! Chiyang Zhenren had no choice but to break the matter apart and explain to him: "In the inner gate, the treatment of the disciples is the best among all the inner disciples. Although the sect is rich in resources, it is also limited. Therefore, the number of disciples in each generation is fixed and cannot be exceeded. In addition, in the lineage of the sect, there is already a tradition of accepting disciples from relatives in their own relatives. Over the years, this trend has become more prevalent. Nowadays, very few descendants will accept foreign children as their own disciples. Even if there were, nine times out of ten, it was taught by a disciple. Back then, when Senior Sister Qingyuan accepted her eldest disciples, she made a lot of noise. Maybe it was annoyed by the events of the year. Over the years, many people have secretly stuffed her with disciples, but she has refused. Now, if she is cold, she wants to accept a little girl with five spirit roots who was picked up from the mortal world as an apprentice. You say, there is no justification for this, is this possible? ”

Zhang Yichen was anxious: "Then you still recommend it to Uncle Qingyuan?" ”

Chiyang Zhenren sighed: "No way, the other people on the Kendo Peak, regardless of their descendants or collateral lines, when they heard about the qualifications of the little girl, they didn't talk about any friendship, and they immediately refused to die." The only one who left his mouth open. ”

Zhang Yichen looked sad: "However, the inner door is more than the top fifty ......" is an unfinishable task.

Chiyang Zhenren couldn't help but reward him with a hairy chestnut: "The best result is one hundred and twenty-nine!" When everyone is you! Also, your Uncle Qingyuan intends to take her as an apprentice, and he will definitely not throw her to the outer door and fend for herself. As he spoke, he smiled, "Well, your Uncle Qingyuan has sent a message here." ”

He flicked the sleeves of his robe.

In an instant, a five-colored camellia flew up from outside.
