22. The East Leaves the Sect
East from the mountain.
Originally, it was just an ownerless mountain, the landscape on the mountain was average, the aura was average, and the place was not very large, it was just an old mountain that no one cared about.
But a few months ago, a group of cultivators suddenly came to Dongli Mountain, built a lot of buildings on the mountain, opened a sect, and recruited disciples, making Dongli Mountain famous overnight, and residents within a radius of hundreds of miles heard the rumors... with business opportunities.
What happened to the cultivators?
Cultivators are also human beings! Even if cultivators can clear the valley and eat without eating or drinking, they can be full by absorbing spiritual energy, but they still have to wear clothes and have entertainment, not to mention that some people just like to eat things of all tastes?
Therefore, in just a few days, the sect on the top of the mountain was built, and the market at the foot of the mountain was also launched.
As time passed, more and more people came to worship the sect, and the market at the foot of the mountain also grew bigger and bigger.
From the market to the village, from the village to the township, and from the township to almost a small town, it takes only one month.
When Qin Ran came here, he was even a little suspicious, was this a small county town?
"This is the leading effect brought by the Xiuzhen Sect!"
Outside the city, two teenagers stood.
It was Qin Ran who had worked hard for almost a month to get here.
Another... It's just a teenager who sighs boringly.
I don't know who the young man said that he was talking to, but because Qin Ran was the only one nearby, he probably wanted to make himself less embarrassed and came to Qin Ran's side.
"Brother Tai, you're also here to knock on the Dongli Sect?" The boy asked in a low voice.
Qin Ran glanced at him and arched his hand: "Under Qin Ran, I heard that disciples are being recruited here, so I came to try my luck." ”
"So coincidentally?"
The young man looked a little pleased, and said: "In Xia Caoping, I also came to try my luck, I heard that the threshold for accepting apprentices in the Dongli Sect is particularly low, brother, you also came because of this?" ”
Qin Ran paused for a moment and said, "I'm just because it's been here recently..."
Cao Ping was also stunned for a moment, and said, "That's it... Why don't we go together? One more person to take care of, anyway, the Dongli Sect will only open tomorrow. ”
"Open the door?"
"Brother, you don't know? Donglizong has weekends and weekends, and does not accept any outsiders. Cao Ping explained.
Qin Ran was silent and spit out in his heart.
It's really rare for a sect to have a weekend holiday, and he is a little skeptical that he has chosen the wrong place? I always feel that this Dongli Sect is not very secure.
Qin Ran quietly glanced at Cao Ping again.
Well, it's not like some bad guy, it's good to have someone as a partner, so I can answer some doubts for myself.
"Seeing each other is fate, so let's be together." He nodded.
Cao Ping was overjoyed, patted Qin Ran's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" What are you waiting for? Let's go into the city and find a place to stay! ”
When he said this, there was a longing in his eyes, which made Qin Ran have some bad premonitions.
Then the development of events proved that Qin Ran's idea was correct.
Cao Ping, who came from a small village three hundred miles away, was unexpectedly assigned by Yunyou's scattered cultivation when he was a child, and barely stepped into the level of the first level of Qi training, and then he was full of yearning for cultivation.
As a first-level Qi cultivator who had no money, strength and strength, Cao Ping's journey from the village to the east of the city could be described as extremely arduous.
It was so hard that I lost a tael of silver on my body.
In addition, he is a thick-skinned person, so it is natural to fall into the thigh of Qin Ran, a local tyrant who has not known him for a long time.
East of the city, in a restaurant.
"Xiao Er, all the meat you have here is shared!" Cao Ping slapped the table, looking hungry and thirsty.
The corners of Qin Ran's mouth twitched, but considering that this person knew more about the affairs of the Dongli Sect than himself, he just thought about it.
A little money, he didn't really care.
The restaurant ate quickly, and after a while, the table of the two was full of all kinds of delicacies.
Cao Ping rubbed his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Qin, it's really embarrassing to spend so much." ”
Qin Ran waved his hand, signaling him not to go in at ease, then took a mouthful of food and threw it into his mouth, and asked, "What kind of sect is Dongli Sect, do you know it, Brother Cao?" ”
"Hey, don't Brother Cao, just call me Cao Ping." Cao Ping smiled, "If you invite me to a meal, I'll call you Brother Qin!" ”
He grabbed a pig's trotter casually, tore a large piece of it down, and said as he chewed: "I'm a person who is easy to get hungry for some reason, and this meal is not a small kindness... Well, you mentioned the Dongli Sect just now? ”
Qin Ran nodded, without a trace of impatience, such a demeanor made Cao Ping feel that this guy in front of him was simply a good person who was rare to see in a thousand years.
"To be honest, the sect of Dongli Sect is very mysterious."
Cao Ping put down the big pig's trotters in his hand, and said solemnly: "It suddenly appeared overnight, saying that it was to recruit disciples to start a sect, but it always makes people feel uneasy, after all, it seems that the elders and sect masters in the sect are not famous people. ”
"Oh?" Qin Ran frowned and asked, "At this level, it doesn't seem like a good thing to suspect others to draw conclusions?" Moreover, in the past few months, Dongli Sect has not seen anything evil, on the contrary, it has been solving troubles such as demons and thieves for the surrounding residents. ”
He had heard about it in the neighborhood, and the reputation of the Dongli Sect was very good, and it was deeply loved by the nearby residents.
"I'll just say that, I just feel that the Dongli Sect is very mysterious, don't take it too seriously." Cao Ping seemed to implicitly point to it, and said, "Besides, if I feel that it is not safe for the East to leave the sect, will I come here to apprentice myself?" ”
Qin Ran nodded, and didn't ask anything more about the background of the Dongli Sect, but asked, "You said before that the threshold for recruiting disciples in the Dongli Sect is very low, what's going on?" ”
He was more curious about this.
Although he hadn't seen the details of the sect's recruitment of disciples, Qin Ran had heard of some of the sect's methods.
Except for the kind of sect that took others away from home when they were young, the rest is nothing more than testing their talents in a special way, directly staging a real PK with a group of people, and giving a task to complete.
What kind of Dongli Sect uses?
"Test."
Cao Ping said awkwardly: "The test of the Dongli Sect is very mysterious. ”
"How mysterious?"
Before Cao Ping could answer, the shopkeeper who was wandering between the major tables next to him put a towel on his shoulder and interjected: "What is mysterious or not mysterious, in fact, it is very simple, you only need to touch the stone in front of the gate of Dongli Zongshan, the light is passed, and if it does not shine, it does not pass." ”
Cao Ping shook his head and retorted: "I'm not saying that this test method is mysterious, I'm talking about the results." ”
He pointed his finger at the table and said, "Under normal circumstances, no sect will recruit disciples who are too old, guess what's wrong with Dongli Sect?" Hey, as long as you pass the test, no matter what your status, age, or status, you will all be included in the door! ”
