After saying that, Huang Lao didn't continue to tease the three of them, glanced around at the three of them, and said: "You can call the old man Huang Lao, you should have reacted when you think about it, you were detained by the old man."

The old man detained the three of you because the people below gave you a review application, and the preliminary review was passed. So you're only here now, and you're faced with a choice. ”

The three of them were stunned together, Tong Hou and Qian Xiaogong looked dazed, Nangong Cheng's eyes flickered, and he remembered something.

At this moment, Nangong Cheng regained his composure, after all, in this situation, he can detain himself without realizing or resisting, obviously the other party's cultivation is far beyond himself, even to the point of unimaginable.

He respectfully saluted Huang Lao and said, "I don't know what choice Senior Huang said?" ”

As he spoke, Qian Xiaogong and Tong Hou, who were dazed, glanced at him in unison, and then looked at Huang Lao again.

Huang Lao put his hands behind his back, turned to look outside the Xuanhuang Building, the three of them could only look at him with a side face, the breeze was gently blowing, making his hair and Taoist robe flutter slightly, and his transcendent temperament was fully displayed at this moment.

Looking at the island outside, Huang Lao Cai spoke: "To be precise, it is an opportunity, an opportunity to join the alliance. ”

"Alliance?" Tong Hou said suspiciously.

Huang Lao nodded and said, "That's right, the Blue Sky Alliance, the force that Hongmeng has survived since eons ago. ”

The three of them were not uninformed cultivators, and their brows furrowed when they heard this.

After a long time, Nangong Cheng spoke: "Seniors, juniors are not lonely and unheard, why have you never heard of the Blue Sky Alliance?" ”

Huang Lao nodded and said, "This is really normal, the Blue Sky Alliance has been a secret force since eons ago, and it is not a disciple of the alliance, and few people know about the existence of the alliance." ”

When Nangong Cheng heard this, his brows furrowed a little tighter.

Huang Lao glanced at him, and then said: "You also have some relationship with the alliance, the words used to change the path, and the half-que literature used for enlightenment, one is the secret technique of my alliance family, and the other is left by the masters of the alliance thousands of years ago, so I have this opportunity." ”

Qian Xiaogong and Tong Hou glanced at Nangong Cheng again.

When Nangong Cheng heard this, he was also stunned, and his eyes flashed.

Huang Lao paused, looked at Qian Xiaogong and Tong Hou, and said, "As for the two of you, you also have your own fate, so you were nominated for review, and you have this opportunity." ”

"So what the seniors mean is that we were chosen by a secret organization, and the seniors are giving us the choice of whether to join or not at the moment, is that so?"

Tong Hou and Qian Xiaogong slowly figured out a little bit of a clue, knowing what the situation was at the moment, Tong Hou asked.

Huang Lao nodded and said, "That's roughly the case!" ”

When Qian Xiaogong heard this, he said, "What are the consequences if I refuse to join?" ”

Huang Lao smiled and said: "There is no consequence, it's just that the old man has stripped you of your memory at the moment, where are you going back and forth." ”

Qian Xiaogong's expression moved when he heard this, and he was just about to speak, but Huang Lao's next words made him swallow the words back.

"But if you really refuse, no matter how much your mother supports you with her self-destructive foundation, your seventeen-point spiritual root will be impossible in this life."

Tong Hou and Nangong Cheng glanced at Qian Xiaogong in surprise, especially Nangong Cheng, who knew for the first time that the original seventeen points of the spiritual root could still be valued.

"You're spying on me!" Qian Xiaogong said with an ugly face.

Huang Lao shook his head, this baby is a little younger after all, and he doesn't have a spiritual root and early wisdom, so it is inevitable that his mind is still a little lacking at such an age.

"Spying on you? You can't reach the old man's gaze! ”

After that, Huang Lao ignored Qian Xiaogong anymore, looked at Tong Hou and Nangong Cheng and said, "What about you, what do you choose?" ”

Nangong Cheng looked at Huang Lao, looked around again, and then said, "Senior, can you elaborate on the alliance?" ”

Huang Lao said: "There is nothing to say, the Blue Sky Alliance has been passed down for a long time since ancient times.

By now, it is equivalent to a multi-force alliance.

Figuratively speaking, you can understand it as a joint organization formed by the union of the three holy places. ”

Nangong Cheng was silent when he heard this, but when Tong Hou heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Then if I choose to join, what do I need to pay and what do I need to get?" And is there any restriction on the path of cultivation in the alliance? ”

Huang Lao glanced at Tong Hou and said, "The alliance has developed to this day, and it has become a platform.

Nowadays, the Union, most of the regions, has a mission system. Join the alliance, reap and give, it's entirely up to you.

As for the road restrictions, if the old man has any prejudice against the sacrificial way, can you still come here? ”

During the Q&A, everyone had roughly figured out the nature of the alliance, and the only thing that was unclear was whether such a force was really as mysterious and powerful as Huang Lao said.

"Then what do we need to comply with after joining the alliance?" Nangong Cheng asked the key.

When Huang Lao heard this, he waved his hand, and a contract appeared in front of the three of them, and said, "What the alliance needs to abide by, as far as the content of this contract is concerned, everything else can be done." ”

The three of them looked at the contract, looked at the obliteration on it, and their hearts were all one.

However, the three of them also found that although these rules were strict, they were basically only restricting them from divulging the existence of the alliance, and other than that, there were almost no restrictions.

"In that case, how do you join?" Tong Hou pondered for a long time, and was the first to speak decisively.

Nangong Cheng and Qian Xiaogong looked at Tong Hou in unison, and after a while, the three of them already understood that they were all detained.

They are all very unfamiliar with the situation in front of them, and among the three of them, in terms of relationship, Nangong Cheng should be the closest.

Huang Lao glanced at him and said, "Just stretch out your hand and press on the contract in front of you, after signing the contract, you will be considered a reserve member of the alliance." ”

"Pre-members?" Tong Hou said suspiciously.

Huang Lao smiled: "You don't think that the alliance is begging you to join, right?" The reason why you can meet the old man is only because openly or secretly, some people think you are good.

The application for review was submitted, and after review, the alliance preliminarily approved it.

That's why the old man detained you here, and once you signed the contract, you became a one-star reserve member of the alliance.

Within the alliance, it is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, and each level is divided into five stars.

The yellow level has the lowest one-star star, and the heavenly level has the highest five-star star.

And after you sign the contract, you can only barely be regarded as a yellow-level one-star member, and when you are recognized by the local steward, you can truly be regarded as an official yellow-level one-star member of the alliance. ”

"Local steward?" Tong Hou asked again.

Huang Lao nodded and said, "In every region, there is a steward who is in charge of a region. And you all belong to the Tianling New District.

Therefore, once you sign a contract and are approved by the steward of the Heavenly Spirit District, you will become a full member.

However, Tianling is a new area, and your applications are all submitted by Zhang Wu, so once you sign a contract, you will probably directly become a yellow-level one-star member.

As for the benefits of being a yellow-level one-star member, you will know then. ”

Tong Hou pondered for a long time, and then decisively stretched out his hand and pressed it directly on the contract in front of him.

Seeing this, Huang Lao glanced at Tong Hou again, it seems that this guy is really a person with a very good story!

As Tong Hou's palm pressed, a handprint appeared on the contract, and then the contract suddenly burned, and in an instant, it turned into a little fire and disappeared in front of everyone.

The three of them stared a little nervously, and found that after the burning, there was nothing else unusual.

Immediately, Tong Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and Qian Xiaogong and Nangong Cheng's eyes flickered.

After a while, Qian Xiaogong was the first to speak: "I joined the alliance, can I really rely on my own cultivation to get ahead?" ”

Huang Lao glanced at Qian Xiaogong and said, "What are you referring to?" If you mean your mother's cultivation, you don't have to worry.

As long as your spiritual root exceeds fifteen points, you can embark on the path of the Dao, and work hard in the alliance, it is not difficult to cultivate the three talents. ”

When Qian Xiaogong heard this, he decisively reached out and pressed the contract in front of him, and the contract turned into a fire and disappeared.

In the end, only Nangong Cheng was left, frowning, and did not refuse, nor did he move.

Seeing this, Huang Lao shook his head and said: "If you are so entangled, you can just refuse, the old man will strip you of the memory of this moment, and just throw you back."

Your qualifications are not enough for the alliance crying and shouting for you to join, if it weren't for Zhang Wu's kid who said a lot to me, the old man wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you. ”

When Nangong Cheng heard this, he looked at Huang Lao, who was already a little impatient, hesitated, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on the contract in front of him.

As the last contract turned into a fire, Huang Lao spoke: "Since this is the case, then so be it, the old man still has a lot of things." ”

With that, with a wave of his hand, he threw everyone out.

The three of them were in a trance and returned to their rooms again.

Before Tong Hou could move, an illusory book appeared in front of him.

The book is simple and vicissitudes, full of traces left by a long time, and the first page of the book reads: The Book of All Living Beings (exclusive to Tong Hou).

At the same time, a mantra and a message appeared in my heart.

'Recite the mantra silently for contact; Recite aloud your hands around your chest, perform a ball-like ritual, and ask for help; During the recitation, the hands are spread flat on the chest, making a letter of support, calling for the book of sentient beings. ’

The information emerged, making Tong Hou slightly stunned, and then the book of living beings began to open automatically, and some other information appeared in front of him.

When Tong Hou received the message, a prompt popped up.

"Please take a code name, this is within the alliance, it is inconvenient to use it when it is inconvenient to reveal your true identity, and the practice is to use the core runes as a reference."

Tong Hou paused and said, "Then it's called 'sacrificial chess'!" ”

"Code name generated, a yellow-level one-star member of the Tonghou (Sacrificial Chess) Alliance."

With the hints, and with some notes.

Tong Hou was stunned for a long time before he digested all the information, put away the illusory book in front of him, and whispered, "Is the Azure Alliance of the Ancient Forces?" If it's true, it seems like a good opportunity! ”

Everything that Tong Hou has experienced, Qian Xiaogong and Nangong Cheng have also experienced.

Qian Xiaogong took the code name of 'Xiangteng', after understanding everything, his expression changed for a long time, and finally he didn't dare to run out of the room to find Qian Ruyan, although he was a half-grown baby, but after all, he had experienced a lot of accumulation of natural treasures.

Although it is not as precocious as the fairy spirit root, and is as wise as a demon, it is at least a lot more mentally than children of the same age.

Nangong Cheng was stunned in the room for a long time, and when he turned his hand, two Yuling beads of "Words: Words and Spirits" appeared in his hands, he looked at Yuling Beads and said: "It seems that I really owe Zhang Wu Daoyou two great favors." ”

······

After Zhang Deming threw the three of them out, his body changed back to his original appearance, and he let out a long breath.

It's really not easy to fool three at once, or three with different personalities.

This matter must be remembered, and if there are sheep that need attention in the future, it can't come like this.

But fortunately, although there are a bit of twists and turns, all three sheep have signed, although this signing is actually an ornament.

But if he wants to blatantly pick the wool of the three people, this is a necessary process, otherwise it will leave hidden dangers.

Zhang Deming thought for a moment before exiting the nurturing space.

······

It's been more than half a month in a row, and it's gone by in a hurry.

Ever since Zhang Deming sent the old ghost in the Turtle Water Secret Realm to the pit, he has been paying attention to the information of the sect in this regard.

However, the sect seems to be very calm, or Zhang Deming doesn't know if he acts, after all, it may involve Elder Taishang.

On this day, Zhang Deming's identity card was shaken, and Zhang Deming was slightly stunned after reading it.

Out of the room, came to the courtyard, and at this moment Li Shifan had been let in.

After Li Shifan looked at Zhang Deming, he paused and said, "Master Zhang······ Brother······· Uncle Zhang: Hello. ”

Zhang Deming smiled and said, "Okay, let's call me senior brother in private, it's awkward to hear you call me uncle." ”

When Li Shifan heard this, he rarely cracked his mouth and showed a heartfelt smile, which was rare and a little silly, and his cold face collapsed a little.

"Before, I watched Senior Brother you post tasks and search for promotion materials, I thought I was thinking too much.

Unexpectedly, in just two years, senior brother, you have already taken the step of Liangyi, which makes the junior brother really envious. Li Shifan was beckoned by Zhang Deming to sit down and opened the conversation.

Zhang Deming glanced at the other party and said, "It's as if your own cultivation progress is very slow, I remember that you were one step slower than me at the beginning, right?"

Isn't it also silent now that it has reached Tai Chi Sansheng?

And I remember you said that your spiritual root is not good, and you only have a sword body, so how did you come up with your current cultivation. ”

Li Shifan paused slightly, showed a smile, and said: "It's just a coincidence, I have spent most of my time in the back mountains in the past two years." ”

Zhang Deming shook his head and said, "Each has its own fate, let's say, what are you looking for me today?" ”

When Li Shifan heard this, he paused slightly, turned over his hand and found a special jade.

Zhang Deming looked at the shadow jade and said suspiciously: "What is this?" ”

Li Shifan said: "Senior brother, just take a look." ”

After saying that, Li Shifan waved his hand and activated the lingering jade, a three-dimensional holographic picture, which appeared on the small table in front of the two.

The photo shows a somewhat vague scene, in a deep forest lake in the back mountain, several vague figures flashed, accompanied by a huge explosion.

The disciple who recorded the video was obviously very far away, and everything was very blurry.

Although there is no trace of the battle, Zhang Deming has been to the Falling Turtle Lake, so he can see at a glance that this location is the Falling Turtle Lake.

"It's ······ Falling Turtle Lake? Zhang Deming pretended to hesitate.

Li Shifan nodded and said, "A few days ago, I was in the daily practice of the back mountain, and I was attracted by a huge fluctuation, and I saw this scene from a distance.

It seems that there is some conflict between the elders in the sect and the old ghost inside, or the elders of the sect are attacking the broken secret realm. ”

While the two were talking, the photo had already been released, and Zhang Deming said, "It's gone?" Why didn't you see the specific battle? ”

Li Shifan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, you didn't see that posture at that time, the ancestor said that it was either the peak of the three talents of the overhaul, or the Supreme Elder of the Four Elephants.

This kind of battle, let alone mixed in, even if it is touched slightly, my junior brother and I can't bear it.

So I left in a hurry, and listened to the advice of the ancestor, and went directly out of the back mountain, and I didn't plan to go in for a few days. ”

When Zhang Deming heard this, he paused and said, "Well, it's better to hide a little." ”

Li Shifan replied: "Senior brother, you just asked me to pay attention to this matter a few days ago, and such a thing happened, is it ······?"

Zhang Deming showed a smile, and said without concealment: "That's right, I reported to the sect, because of some reasons, I came into contact with the high-level of the sect, and I mentioned this matter by the way." ”

When Li Shifan heard this, he said: "It's good, the old ghost at the beginning, the ancestor said that it was definitely not a good thing."

If I wasn't afraid of the involvement of the secret realm in the future, and the circle of mixing was limited, I would like to try it. ”

Zhang Deming smiled, did not continue to dwell on the topic, but changed the topic, and said: "You are also a three-life Taiji, and it seems that the kendo promotion materials are not easy to find, right?" ”

When Li Shifan heard this, he showed a bitter smile and said, "No, I've been really anxious recently." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shifan paused, and looked at Zhang Deming's prediction.

Zhang Deming was slightly stunned and said: "It's really rare to see you like this, let's talk about something directly, the two of us can be regarded as life and death." ”

When Li Shifan heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, I came to find my senior brother this time, and I still have one thing to ask for, and this matter is good for both of me, but I don't think that you are already two things, senior brother, and I don't know if to say it for a while." ”

Zhang Deming became interested for a while, and said, "Oh, let's talk about it." ”

Li Shifan said: "Since half a year ago, I have been groping little by little and raising materials.

Because most of the two years have been spent in the back mountain, and the luck road has been quite good, the income of the spirit stone has always been okay.

Coupled with the reason why the contribution of the inner door can be traded, some of the auxiliary materials that stumbled have also been raised.

Only this main material, the Sword Soul Mine has never had a clue.

Some time ago, I inquired about a place, which is very likely to have a sword soul mine, and may even have a main material for summoning, the Ghost Energy Spirit Stone.

Originally, I came to find you, Senior Brother, this time, because I planned to ask Senior Brother to go and have a look, but now that I see Senior Brother, you are already two instruments, so I don't know how to talk about it. ”

Zhang Deming said: "You can go and take a look, anyway, I haven't had anything to do lately." ”

Li Shifan paused slightly when he heard this, looked at Zhang Deming and said, "Senior brother, you are already Liangyi, you don't need to take risks." ”

Zhang Deming smiled and said, "When I broke through, didn't you also contribute to the matter of the macaroni lotus root?"

And then I learned from Steward Zhang that not only did you get into trouble because of this, but you didn't get any benefits.

Didn't you complain about this, and you didn't even come to complain to me. ”
