In order to control the number of people entering the Guanyi Immortal Mountain, as early as when entering the Immortal Mountain, the elders of the sect had screened the candidate disciples once.

"Master, a total of one thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine cultivators have entered the Immortal Mountain this year. The youngest is only five years old, and the oldest is almost 200 years old. ”

An elder in the sect reported the situation to the head of the sect, and then went to salute Elder Lu Yun.

When Lu Yun and Zhang Xiangyi talked, they looked like a kind old man, but when they talked to others, they always had a straight face and a stern face.

"Inform the master, let's start!" Lu Yun said to the sect elder.

"Yes!"

Subsequently, more than 1,700 people were divided into sixteen groups, and sixteen sect elders made a preliminary selection. The purpose is to select some potential disciples so that the second round of the competition can be conducted. As for those candidate disciples who are not paid attention to, they will be arranged in the outer gate, become outer disciples or be arranged to a stronghold outside the immortal mountain.

Of course, even if he became an outer disciple and was assigned to cultivate in the mortal world, he would become the best among the warriors because of the guidance of the Guanyi Sect in cultivation.

Li Bai, Tang Zhuli, the old beggar, and Nangong Bai Yu happened to be in a group, and the one in charge of selection was an elder of Bai Weipu.

Nangong Baiyu smiled proudly, looking like she was nine out of ten. Li Bai looked sideways, and Zhao Lun kept staring at them, the corners of his mouth raised, full of smiles.

Tang Zhuli had been secretly looking at Li Bai, at first she was very shy, and finally at the instigation of the old beggar, she walked towards Li Bai.

"Hello. Thank you for the last time!"

She said with her head down, in a small voice.

"Well, are you talking to me?"

Li Bai turned his head to look left and right, making sure that she was talking to herself. He didn't recognize Tang Zhuli as the girl who sold sugar gourds, but saw her with the old beggar, and was a little curious.

"Girl, is there any misunderstanding?" asked Li Bai.

"No, no, no, I'm here to thank you!"

She hurriedly explained, but her voice became quieter and quieter, and when she had finished speaking, she walked back to the old beggar with a look of grievance.

Li Bai looked at her a little strangely, but he didn't know what to say. When he looked at the old beggar, he suddenly remembered the strange swordsmanship on the animal skin.

"He was able to enter Guanyi Immortal Mountain, he should not be an ordinary charlatan. Find an opportunity to ask him about his swordsmanship!" Li Bai thought to himself, staring at the old beggar back and forth.

"Look, that kid is peeking at you......" said the old beggar deliberately.

Tang Zhuli raised his head and looked at Li Bai, just staring at him. Then, she immediately lowered her head, her face was crimson, and she was shy.

"Hahahaha......" the old beggar laughed more and more happily.

......

The old man of Bai Weipu first said a few words to Zhao Lun before slowly walking in front of everyone and announcing the rules of the competition.

"The competition and selection are mainly to show your respective strengths, so that I can understand your cultivation potential. If you win, you won't necessarily pass, and if you lose, you won't necessarily be eliminated. As long as you have something to offer, you will be welcomed. The opponent of the competition, you can choose freely, the time of the competition, and the time limit is a pillar of incense. ”

As soon as the old man of Bai Weipu said this, the cultivators below immediately muttered to each other, this second round of selection of the sect did not set the conditions for victory or defeat, and only based on the standards of the elders of the sect. In this way, everyone can't grasp the degree at all, but it is even more difficult.

"Okay, I'll do it first!"

Suddenly, a big man stood up, and he pointed to the old beggar and laughed triumphantly.

"I'll compete with him!"

When the people next to him heard this, they immediately looked at him with disdain. It seems that he wants to take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to pick some soft persimmons and pinch them.

There were people in the crowd who talked about it, but there were also people who wanted to imitate it.

The old beggar was very cooperative, and walked forward with his back bent, holding a strange wooden stick in his hand.

"My old man, it's time to move your muscles!"

He stretched his waist, turned his head to look at Tang Zhuli with a hippie smile, and said, "Let's talk first, if I defeat him, you have to worship me as a teacher and inherit my mantle." ”

"Go ahead, be careful, don't break your old bones into it......"

Tang Zhuli's appearance is not particularly outstanding, but she has a pure and lovely temperament, coupled with her shy face when she speaks, people can't help but sigh that such a simple girl is not in the boudoir, and she will actually get involved in cultivating immortals.

She looked at Li Bai as she spoke, and her face was full of worry.

Afterwards, the old beggar and the big man walked into a special ring, and the ring was surrounded by spiritual energy, which was used to block the spiritual energy played by both sides indiscriminately, so as not to hurt the people watching the battle around the ring.

"Let's go!"

When the big man heard the "start", he couldn't stop smiling, obviously because of his own plan and happiness.

"This old man, I am the warrior of Nanyong. You make a move, and I'll do it......"

The Nanyong mentioned by the Han Dynasty was part of the Yongkang Empire.

The territory of the Yongkang Empire is vast, bounded by the Zhihe River, and is divided into two. To the north of Zhihe, it is the place where Yongkang city gathers, which is mainly divided into four fiefdoms: Dongkang, Xikang, Nanyong, and Beiyong. To the north of Zhihe, there are continuous barren mountains, except for some small cities in the range where the Guanyi Gate Immortal Mountain is located, other places are sparsely populated.

The old beggar smiled, said nothing, held the stick in his hand, and threw it to the ground.

With a "bang" sound, the wooden stick was directly inserted into the stone, and a wave of spiritual power came out, causing ripples to ripple on the wall made by the spiritual energy next to the ring.

Nanyong Dahan naturally understands that he was too big just now, and the other party doesn't look like a bad old man who is easy to bully.

The big man suddenly shouted, his feet were stacked, and a layer of spiritual armor suddenly appeared around his body, and the momentum was menacing.

Different from the knight's armor that Li Bai had seen, the armor of the Nanyong warriors was thicker, giving people a sense of oppression, and the fists in their hands were clenched, and the "knight's sword" was not condensed.

The spiritual power of the soles of the Nanyong warrior's feet rolled, and he suddenly rose to the sky, and threw a punch violently, heading straight for the old beggar.

The old beggar stood up straight, his eyes like torches, and he had no intention of retreating. He steadied his steps, his hands spread out, his expression calm, and his palms met each other.

"Ah!!h

Just as the Nanyong warrior and the old beggar met with their palms, Tang Zhuli was terrified and screamed loudly.

The old beggar thought that something had happened to her, so he immediately retracted his palm, pulled up the wooden stick, and opened his body sideways, nimbly dodging the blow of the Nanyong warrior.

"Boom!"

The Nanyong warrior's fists slammed into the ring, making two fist-sized holes directly on the ground.

"What the hell are you yelling about?"

The old beggar looked at Tang Zhuli and shouted complainingly.

"Hey, kid over there, you can watch her for me......"

What the old beggar was referring to was naturally Li Bai, who was not far away.

Li Bai thought that this was a good opportunity to get close to him, and if he asked him for swordsmanship in the future, it would not be obviously too abrupt. He slowly walked to Tang Zhuli's side, showing a friendly look.

"Don't be afraid, girl!"

He looked into Tang Zhuli's eyes when he spoke, his tone was gentle and sincere.

Tang Zhuli saw him talking to himself suddenly, and for a while, his blushing face became even hotter, and he looked like he was blushing because of something embarrassing.

"Thank you, big brother!"

She replied in a whisper, bowing her head and not daring to look directly at Li Bai.

In order to show his extraordinary strength, the old beggar easily dodged the repeated attacks of the Nanyong warriors.

Every time he was just about to touch him when the Nanyong warriors were about to touch him, the whole person was like oil on the soles of his feet, and he immediately dodged the attack.

Finally, the old beggar flew into the air, holding the wooden stick in his hand high, and the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly surged towards him. He swung down lightly, and a stick struck directly on the head of the Nanyong warrior.

The warriors of Nanyong saw the strangeness of the old beggar, and naturally used their whole body spiritual power to make the heavy armor shiny and strong, trying to put themselves in an invincible position.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, the armor of the Nanyong warrior gradually cracked, and a trace of blood flowed down his forehead.

With a "boom", the Nanyong warriors fell.

The other warriors around him, seeing it, polished their eyes one by one, feeling that everything in front of them was too unreal. An old man, with a seemingly ordinary wooden stick, knocked down a warrior who was not weak with just one blow.

"Come on, clean up the ring! In this game, both of them are qualified!"

The old man of Bai Weipu announced the results and motioned for the others to continue, but as for what the standard was and why it was qualified, he did not give a direct statement.

The old beggar walked off the ring proudly, looked at Tang Zhuli with a smile, and said, "How about it, worship me as a teacher, and I will teach you a set of stick techniques that fall from the sky......"

As he spoke, he gestured exaggeratedly.

"I don't want to go out with you and deceive people! I shouldn't be a beggar!"

Tang Zhuli usually speaks shyly, but whenever the old beggar wants to say that she will be accepted as an apprentice, she will be vigilant and speak-for-tat.

"Boy, you help me persuade, if you say that it touches her heart, I still have a lot of anti-heaven exercises......"

The old beggar smiled and said to Li Bai, as if he intended to match the two of them.
