Chapter Forty-Six: The Selection of Elite Disciples Begins

"It's been a few days, and it seems like it's starting tomorrow. Let's go check it out tomorrow. Li Donglai pondered for a while, frowned and said.

"Then listen to you. Li Beixiang said indifferently.

........................

Early the next morning, Li Beixiang and Li Donglai stood in the courtyard.

"Let's go. The selection of this elite disciple is at the headquarters of the Tianyang Sect, and this meeting should have begun. Li Dong took a look at the sky, it was early at this time, but it was not very early, and it was already very late for those working people at the bottom.

"Let's go. Li Donglai said a word to Li Beixiang, and then took the lead and walked out.

Li Beixiang followed behind Li Donglai with a folding fan.

The bodyguards who had been selected before were also following them in pairs at the moment.

As soon as I stepped out of the dart game, I heard the sound of hawking along the street.

"Steamed buns, big and fragrant buns, meat buns with thin skin and big filling, I don't want to ask for money. ”

"Chaos, hot chaos just out of the pot. ”

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns just out of the cage. ”

..................

The whole street was filled with the cries of hawkers, and horse-drawn carriages ran through the streets from time to time.

Looking at the crowded street, Li Beixiang couldn't help but praise: "What a prosperous scene?"

A big man who was following Li Beixiang heard Li Beixiang praise like this, and couldn't help but interject: "Childe, where is this, you go to Zongcheng, that is called prosperity!"

Li Bei folded the fan and said, "Oh, is it really prosperous?"

"Yes, Childe, the most prosperous place in the entire Jingshi is the main city. The big man replied respectfully.

"Alright, don't discuss this, let's go, it's not too early. Who's going to bring some horses. Li Beixiang turned his head, scolded, and then pointed to the big man who interjected.

"Yes, Childe. ”

When the big man heard Li Donglai's order, he hurriedly ran to the stable.

It didn't take long for several people to sit down on their horses.

Li Donglai walked in the front, and as soon as he flicked the whip in his hand, the horses spread out and ran along the main road towards Zongcheng.

Li Beixiang also followed behind Li Donglai with a horsewhip in his hand.

The sound of horses' hooves knocking on the bluestone pavement makes a crisp sound.

A quarter of an hour later, several people rushed to Zongcheng.

Li Bei turned over and dismounted, looking at the bustling square outside Zongcheng filled with all kinds of people.

There are rich sons, second-generation gentlemen, poorly dressed commoners, and poorly dressed poor families.

They were gathered in twos or threes.

Li Beixiang handed the horse to the big man in front of him and instructed him to settle the horse.

Li Beixiang and Li Donglai stood there, quietly watching the scene in front of them.

"The heart of fame and fortune in this world is still quite heavy. Li Beixiang looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, it's quite heavy, but it has nothing to do with our brothers. Li Donglai said indifferently.

"Let's go, let's get a good spot. I think I'll have to wait in line. Li Donglai reminded Li Beixiang, and then walked towards the crowd by himself.

Li Beixiang saw Li Donglai walking first, hurriedly put away the folding fan, and followed behind Li Donglai.

Li Beixiang stood behind Li Donglai and looked around curiously.

Li Beixiang saw a richly dressed rich boy walking towards him, "This boy, may I ask if you are also participating in this selection?"

This rich boy brother was dressed in a brocade robe, sixteen or seventeen years old, walked up to Li Bei and asked with a smile in front of him.

"Yes, is this brother too?" Li Beixiang replied.

"That's right, I also participated in this disciple selection. The rich boy said with a sad face.

"Doesn't this benevolent brother seem to be reluctant to participate in this selection?" Li Beixiang couldn't help but ask when he saw the rich boy's sad face.

The rich boy sighed, "Alas, indeed. What's so good about participating in this disciple selection, where is it comfortable to stay at home and hold a beautiful girl. ”

"Oh, by the way, it's Jingshi Liu Youcheng below, I don't know your Excellency's surname?"

"In Xia Naishuo East Li Bei to!" Li Bei said to the arch.

"Brother Ren is not a member of the clan?" Li Beixiang couldn't help but ask when he heard that this person's surname was Liu and his name was Cheng.

The surname of Tianyang Zongguo is Liu, and this character is on the genealogy of Tianyang Zongguo, so Li Beixiang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I am a member of the clan, but my vein is already a branch of the branch, and it is far from the relationship between the current one. Liu Youcheng sighed, as if he was very helpless.

"Your Excellency said that you are Shuodong Li Beizhi, could it be the son of Li Duanjiang, the general stationed in Shuodong County?"

"Brother Cheng guessed correctly, it is Li Duanjiang's son below. Li Bei said.

"Yes, I can't see that you are so big. Liu Youcheng heard that Li Beixiang was Li Duanjiang's son, so a smile appeared on his face.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

A loud voice came from the front of the crowd, "All those who participated in this selection, please line up, and now officially start the screening." ”

"The purpose of screening is to exclude people who can't cultivate, or who fish in troubled waters. ”

"Please line up in an orderly manner and go to the place in front of you for testing and repairing one by one. ”

"Brother Liu, let's get started, let's hurry up and line up. Li Beixiang said to Liu Youcheng.

"Cultivate for different people in different queues, please don't cut the queue at will, and once found, you will be disqualified immediately.

Now in the Qi refining period, those from the seventh to the ninth floor are on my right, the fourth to seventh floors are in the middle of the station, the two to the fourth floor are on my left, and those below the two floors are consciously leaving. ”

Li Beixiang listened to the man's shout, followed the crowd and stood on the left, while Li Donglai stood on the right.

That Liu Youcheng was also a second-layer cultivator in the Qi Refining Period, so he also followed Li Beixiang to the left.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to be here too. Li Beixiang looked at Liu Youcheng in surprise.

When Liu Youcheng heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head and smiling awkwardly, almost all of the people standing here were twelve or thirteen years old, only Li Beixiang and Liu Youcheng were sixteen or seventeen years old.

From a distance, you can see two people who stand out from the crowd.

"Next. A middle-aged man sitting next to the pillar shouted behind him.

"Brother Li, it's your turn. Liu Youcheng looked at Li Beixiang, who was looking around, and hurriedly reminded.

After Liu Youcheng's reminder. Only then did Li Beixiang notice that it had come to him.

Li Beixiang stood in front of the elder's table.

"Name, place of origin. ”

The old man didn't lift it, but took out a blank book from the side, carrying a brush.

"Li Beixiang, a native of Shuodong County, and his father Li Duanjiang. Li Beixiang put away the folding fan and said quickly.

"Li Beixiang, Shuodong County people's ......"

When the elder wrote this, he couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Li Beixiang, and asked slowly, "Are you the fourth son of Li Duanjiang, the general stationed in Shuodong County?"

When Li Beixiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, my father is the fourth son of Li Duanjiang, the general stationed in Shuodong County. ”

"Then you don't have to test, just pass. The elder waved his hand and signaled that Li Duanjiang could pass.

When Li Beixiang heard this, he hurriedly stepped over the stone pillar that tested his cultivation and stood in the group of people who passed.

"What about you?"

The elder looked at Liu Youcheng and asked slowly with an expressionless face.

"Liu Youcheng, Jingshiren, father Liu Jinjian. ”

"Okay, you don't need to be tested anymore, just go over there. ”

Liu Youcheng, like Li Beixiang, stepped directly over the stone pillar and came to Li Beixiang.

"Brother Liu, I didn't expect it, you can't hide it. Li Beixiang looked at Liu Youcheng and teased.

"Hide it in the depths, don't reveal anything, so-so. Liu Youcheng smiled awkwardly.

"Why? Why can't I? Why don't they do it without testing, and I can't?" a twelve-year-old boy in tattered clothes looked at the elder in front of him with a look of resentment.

"No, it's not good, your qualifications are not good, where did you get so much, hurry up and get out of me." The elder looked at the young man with a blank expression.

"Hmph, you're not fair, why can the two of them be okay, but I can't. The boy looked unconvinced.

"Hmph, where did you get so much why? Since you want to ask why, then I'll tell you, you're just a country man, and you can't compare with the two of them at all, get out of here, or I'll throw you out." An impatient look flashed across the elder's face.

"I'm not going to go, I came here all the hard way to participate in this selection, you can't do this. The young man said with a stubborn face.

"Hmph, toast without eating and drinking. ”

The elder snorted coldly, the spiritual power on his body exploded, and he slapped it at the young man casually.

I saw the palm print of the elder sweeping the young man into the distance.

"Bang"

The young man was slapped away by the elder's palm and fell several feet away.

The young man spit out a mouthful of blood, struggled to stand up, looked at the elder with a fierce face, and finally turned to leave, at the moment of leaving, the young man glanced at Li Beixiang and Liu Youcheng from a distance.

"Are you still unconvinced?" the elder asked in a deep voice, looking around with a cold look in his eyes.

Everywhere the elder looked, everyone bowed their heads.

Although this is unfair, the right to admit is in the hands of others, and no one can only endure any grievances, and no one will sympathize with them.

When the elder saw that there was no one to oppose him, he said, "Go on." ”

By the time everyone had tested themselves, the long queue was now scarce.

The number of people who passed was less than 30% of the previous one. This shows how cruel this disciple selection is.

The elder walked up to the group of people with the booklet, glanced around, and then said in a deep voice: "Now that your primary election has passed, don't think that everything will be fine, there are still three tests ahead, only after these three tests can you be regarded as a true disciple of the Tianyang Sect, understand?"

The elder glanced through the crowd again, and suddenly saw Li Beixiang and Liu Youcheng, so he spoke: "You two don't have to participate in the later test, come out." You just passed. ”
