"If I can't be shortlisted for the inner disciples this year, I really have no shame to face my father and fellow villagers. ”

A face that still looked green was full of pain, Zhang Yao clenched his fists and said, "I have been a protégé of the outer sect for three years, and there is still no Immortal Venerable to accept ......me at the annual Zhifang Meeting."

The young man in the blue cloth on the side nodded and said, "I'm a little better than you, I didn't choose the Zhefang Club in the first year, and I missed it due to illness in the second year." ”

The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and their expressions were very sad.

Qiu Luo sat calmly and did not say a word.

Who am I and where am I?

Among a group of bear children who keep saying that they want to cultivate immortals, she is like a normal person with a very peaceful mind.

If it weren't for the fact that a teenager recited a lame spell last night, he summoned a tiny spark at his fingertips, confirming the authenticity of the so-called immortal cultivators, she would have thought that she had entered some ancient pyramid scheme.

A bunch of people were crowded like little chickens in a pavilion halfway up the mountain, the stools were full, and there were a few squatting on the ground. It looks like they are all in their teens, big and small.

Most of them are worried, and a few are expressionless, and they can't tell whether they are self-defeating or confident.

Qiu Luo wore it last night, and she wore it quietly, which was unbelievable.

I fell asleep and woke up in an inn at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, after escaping the physical test the next day, Qiu Luo began to worry about the current situation after a trace of untimely happiness rose in his heart.

The body that came through looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there was no family to lead him. Qiu Luo didn't dare to run around, otherwise if there were traffickers or something, she would not have the confidence to get out.

The key is this Lingqi Mountain-Zhefang will host a square meal.

So what are you going to run, it's better to be at peace with what happens, stay and take a look.

Early in the morning, before dawn, he was led up the mountain by the immortal chief of the team, and he didn't do anything, just waiting in this pavilion.

"The immortal chief said that the ladder can only appear when the sky is dawn, why is it not bright this day?" A young man looked around a little impatiently, and in the slight light, there were only trees, mountains and rocks, and what ladder did not appear at all.

Another teenager frowned, "I think it's dawn." ”

Qiu Luo looked at it, the sun had not come out yet, but there was already some light in the sky.

An older girl in red snorted disdainfully before she said, "It's dawn when the rooster crows." ”

"There are no chickens here, how do I know if they are called?" the boy scoffed.

As a senior protégé who has experienced three folding meetings, Zhang Yao said, "Don't quarrel, leave some strength and wait, you will be affected in a while." ”

Autumn is unclear.

The teenagers in the pavilion were silent.

Qiu Luo said curiously, "That, what do you mean by us?"

Is the ladder scary?

Zhang Yao's eyes widened, and he looked over in disbelief, "You don't know?"

Qiu Luo was a little empty, "What do you know?"

Isn't it supposed that everyone here should know? Won't it be exposed?

The woman in red played with the saber in her hand, her fingers circled around the sword spike a few times, and said, "Zhang Yao, do you think everyone is like you, and you don't enter the mountain gate three times?

Zhang Yao said, "Even if it's the first time, it shouldn't be that you don't understand anything, right? Before we came, the immortal chief who taught at the outer gate taught us. ”

The girl in red raised a pair of beautiful eyes and looked at Qiu Ming, who smiled a little nervously.

The girl in red looked away and said, "Maybe it was sent by the common door, right?"

Zhang Yao gasped, looked at Qiu Luo with admiration and said, "It's really ruthless, it's difficult for outer disciples to enter, and laymen dare to participate?"

Although the outer door is not as good as the inner door, it has also cultivated basic skills. Unlike lay disciples, most of them are poor and white, and they don't know anything, just running for the name of cultivating immortals, trying their luck.

The blue-clothed young man on the side shook his head and said, "Actually, this year is very hanging, I heard that several little overlords of the immortal cultivation family are starting this year, not to mention whether there is a dark box operation, even if we look at the strength, then our cultivation over the years is not worth a few elixirs." ”

Glancing at Qiu Luo, the blue-clothed young man continued, "If it was before, the vulgar came to participate, maybe the immortal chief would have accepted it if it looked good." However, the number of places is limited every year, and this year it takes up so much, I think it is in vain. ”

The surrounding teenagers looked at Qiu Luo with sympathy and a hint of schadenfreude.

This kind of look is familiar, just like a physics exam, taking a fifty test at the same table, and finding that she only has a forty-five point in her eyes.

In this kind of competition, Qiu Luo has been adhering to the purpose of the enemy being strong and I am weak, and the enemy is weak and I am weak for a long time.

These teenagers seem to have cultivated, Qiu Luo has no sword on him, and he has no cheats, so he doesn't look like he has cultivated.

Maybe it's really as they say, it's a vulgar door sent to test the waters.

However, Qiu Luo didn't regret it, after all, she didn't care much about being accepted into the inner door and becoming a disciple of Lingqi Mountain.

Qiu Luo smiled, a pair of big eyes bent into a crescent moon, as cute as some kind of fluffy little animal, "That's okay, just come and see it." ”

The girl in red frowned, "Little sister, you don't have to listen to their nonsense......"

However, Qiu Ming's eyes were very open-minded, not reluctant at all. It must not be forced, no matter who has just crossed over to a place where they don't understand anything, they start to care about their future. Besides, I don't think it's important to cultivate immortals at this time.

Xie Qiongzhi also smiled, "It's a good thing to be less persistent." ”

I don't know when, the breeze was already flowing in the pavilion, bringing up the hair on the sideburns.

A white staircase looming among the trees appeared not far from the pavilion.

Qiu Ming's eyes lit up, and he stood up and looked over, "Wow! So, is that the heavenly step we have to wait for?"

Zhang Yao stood up with a slick in his eyes, "That's right!"

All of them slipped away and rushed towards the stairs.

Qiu Luo didn't even react.

The girl in red walked down the pavilion and said, "What's the use of them being in such a hurry, it's good to be able to go up halfway!"

Qiu Luo wondered, "Why?"

The girl smiled, "The Heavenly Rank is the first item used to test us, and no one knows how long it will be. According to my outer brothers, everyone may not have the same number of ladders, but the common denominator is that they are all very long. And the further back you go, the more difficult it becomes, and those who can persevere are half the battle. ”

Sounds like a marathon.

Qiu Luo nodded to show that she understood, "What's my sister's name?"

Qiu Luo is seventeen years old, a real high school dog, and the girl in front of him is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but because this body is only thirteen or fourteen years old, Qiu Luo still uses the title of sister.

The girl in red raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, "My name is Xie Tongzhi." ”

Xie Tongzhi walked up the heavenly steps, walked a few steps, and the figure disappeared from view, not fast, but really disappeared a few steps away, as if it was a trick.

Qiu Miao tentatively took a step forward, but didn't feel anything wrong.

There is no end in sight, there are lush mountains and a white boundless staircase.

The steps are as smooth as jade, white as snow, faintly cool, and even Qiu Luo, who is wearing shoes, feels the coolness on the soles of his feet.

It was still a noisy group just now, but now there is only one Qiu Luo left. It's strangely quiet in the mountains.

Calming down alone, Qiu Luo felt how ridiculous all this was.

In the past, it was just too tiring in class, and when I felt distressed, I occasionally thought about it. Physical chemistry is too boring, and cultivating immortals may be much more fun. Then I was shouted by the teacher to answer the question.

Autumn is a dead man.

Now he has really crossed over, and he has also crossed into the world of cultivating immortals.

After a night of experimentation, it has been determined that this is not a dream, it is real.

Qiu Luo was at peace with what happened, there was no disbelief or a big fuss, and he accepted it very calmly.

I just don't know how I'm doing in reality.

Step by step, it was silent, boundless, only the rustling of leaves.

Qiu Miao vaguely heard an ethereal voice coming, asking her.

"What are you willing to cultivate?"

The voice was extremely slow, and it took a while to understand what he was asking.

She only knows Lao Tzu's Taoist thoughts?

After a moment's deliberation, she said, "The Tao is the Tao." ”

The voice paused for a moment, and then asked, "There is no end to practice, don't forget your original intention." What is your original intention?"

The sound echoed in the mountains and forests.

Qiu Luo recalled Taoist thoughts in his mind, and a sentence of goodness like water suddenly emerged.

Her mother taught her to be a kind person since she was a child, which is not an exaggeration.

"Good. ”

"Cultivating immortals is hard, will you retreat?"

Qiu Luo smiled, "I can learn physics, why can't I cultivate immortals?"

His voice froze, and he asked, "If you can't cultivate, what should you do?"

"Not how. ”

Qiu Luo looked very open. Although physics is difficult, she can also go from the initial forty to the nineties later. She is not afraid of hardship.

Just like the college entrance examination, even if she tries hard, she can't get into a good university, and she won't do well. It's good to work hard, and you don't feel ashamed, and nothing else matters. There's no way out, isn't it? It's not like you have to go to college to get a way out.

Isn't it the same with cultivating immortals?

The voice didn't ask again, and Qiu Luo felt that the answer was a bit hasty, so he added another sentence.

"I am worthy of my heart, that is, I am worthy of the Tao, and it has nothing to do with whether or not I cultivate immortals. ”

The voice still didn't come again.

Qiu Miao walked resignedly, stepped on a step, and then stepped on a different step.

She looked up and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
