There are many disciples of the Qing Sect on Maoshan Mountain, but there are only 3,000 disciples in the inner gate, all of whom are under the growth of Maoshan Jiu.

And there are countless disciples of Maoshan in the outer courtyard.

Zhong Bai told me that there is a rule in Maoshan that the outer courtyard will hold an assessment once a year, and only after passing can you enter the inner courtyard.

Although there are also 3,000 disciples in the inner court, those who can enter and become descendants are actually proud.

Speaking of which, I'm a little lucky, I can be regarded as going through the back door, because my grandmother has a relationship with the Nine Elders of Maoshan.

He directly accepted me as a disciple.

Zhong Bai had a small black wooden plaque carved with a nine-character on it, and when he came in from the outer courtyard, he took it out, and the two Taoist boys who were guarding the door immediately called him senior brother respectfully.

I asked Zhong Bai what the wooden sign was.

Zhong Bai smiled and said, "The disciples under the command of the nine elders will have such a piece of wooden order, because the master and his old man are ranked ninth, so the wooden order of me and the two senior brothers is engraved with nine characters. ”

"If the rest are the eight elders, then the disciples under his command will be engraved on the eight."

"This is not so much a sign order given by the nine elders to the disciples of the inner gate, but a symbol of the inner disciples, and only with this order can you enter the inner courtyard."

I nodded, sure enough, it was a big gate, and the rules were all set in one, no wonder when they entered the outer courtyard, the two gatekeepers were extremely respectful when they saw Zhong Bai take out this wooden order.

"Then how will I enter the inner courtyard?" It occurred to me that I didn't have this token on me.

Zhong Bai said, "With me, I can take you in with a token, and besides, you are returning to the sect to invite the master, and when you go in, let the senior brother give you one, and if you come back alone in the future, you can come and go freely." ”

Seeing Zhong Bai say this, I thought it would be easy to enter the inner courtyard, but I didn't expect to wait until I went up the steps at the door of the inner courtyard Zhong Bai handed over the wooden order and entered with me. Nine-zero look

Before I could step on the threshold of the inner courtyard, I was guarded by it, and a young Taoist priest with thick eyebrows stretched out his hand to block me.

"Wait." The young man with thick eyebrows looked at me and said, "You have a door order!?" ”

I shook my head.

The thick-eyebrow young man sneered, "The inner courtyard is not a sightseeing ground, and you can't enter without a door order." ”

Because Zhong Bai was walking in front, he saw that I was stopped and immediately retreated from inside.

"Two senior brothers, this is my little junior sister, the first time I have returned to the mountain gate to ask for a teacher." Zhong Bai said respectfully.

Although Zhong Bai is actually quite capable, ability does not represent seniority, nor is it according to age, there are many people in their thirties and forties who meet their twenties, and they will also be called senior brothers.

After all, Zhong Bai started relatively late, and his personality doesn't like to be bound, so he has been practicing all year round.

And the gatekeeper of the inner courtyard is not a doorman, but a logistics disciple of the inner courtyard.

The other person guarding the gate of the inner courtyard was a dark-skinned dwarf Taoist priest who seemed to know that the young man with thick eyebrows liked to be tricky and embarrassed by his junior disciples.

Seeing that I was stopped, I looked at it with a playful face.

"I only recognize orders, not people. If you don't have a door order, you just can't go in. The thick-eyebrow young man had a sneer in his eyes, not saving Zhong Bai face.

"In the past, other disciples guarding the door of this inner courtyard could bring people in as long as someone gave an order to explain the reason." Zhong Bai frowned.

The thick-eyed youth sneered contemptuously, "That's someone else, I just can't do it here." ”

I can see that it's not that I can't enter, but that this young man with thick eyebrows is deliberately making things difficult.
