Half a month passed quickly, and today's blacksmith shop was rarely silent, and today's Ling Tiancheng was rarely extremely lively.

Chen Jing followed behind Uncle Tie with two black circles under his eyes, and went out from the West City Gate in a carriage, and there was an endless stream of people entering the city on the way to catch the market, delivering goods, and receiving goods, but more of them went out of the city to Xuanzong like him, today is the day of the entrance assessment of Xuanzong, the assessment and the entry are the same day, and those who pass will enter the sect on the same day, and the sect will arrange accommodation, work and study matters.

The white forest traverses the east and west, covers an area of thousands of kilometers, there is a peak named Qingling in its west, hundreds of meters high, it is said that the heaven and earth are created, the aura is pressing, in which the cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort, Xuanzong was built on the mountainside of Qingling.

Chen Jing and the others followed the flow of people, and they could see a staircase in the distance, winding up the mountain like an earth dragon, and the surrounding trees were like green waves rising and falling with the breeze, and the earth dragon was winding and moving.

When he came to the foot of Qingling Mountain, a disciple of the sect came to guide the way.

His name is Lu Feng, 20 years old this year, from Crescent City in the north, he followed his parents to Ling Tiancheng to make a living since he was a child, and later his parents died.

After the introduction, everyone has a general understanding of Xuanzong.

300 years ago, Zhang Xuan, a son of a rich family in Ling Tiancheng, revered the immortal Taoism since childhood, and his parents were robbed and killed by robbers, he scattered all his family wealth to the capital Qinglong City to cultivate, 30 years later returned to Ling Tian, the Tao is profound, no one is invincible, the robbers and their clansmen were killed, and then passing by Qingling, seeing that this place is full of spiritual energy, the terrain is majestic, it is convenient for this mountainside to open a sect, the name Xuanzong, self-named Xuan, and 30 years will pass the seat to his eldest son Zhang Le, he wandered away, disappeared, to the current sect master is the fifth. From the words of others, we know that today's Xuanzong is not as good as it was then. However, it did not affect its influence around Ling Tian City. Today's grand entrance exam is a case in point.

The mountain road is winding and rugged, with sparse trees on both sides, but a little farther away is deep and densely grassed, and this is a white forest, Chen Jing looked at Lu Feng worriedly: "Senior Brother Lu, it always feels gloomy here, will there be poisonous snakes and beasts or something?"

Lu Feng laughed and said, "There must be poisonous snakes and beasts, and the reason why we are here to guide you is to prevent you from having accidents." ”

"Then Brother Lu, you must be very powerful. ”

Lu Feng didn't have much smug expression after hearing this, but was a little frustrated, and said: "What's amazing, this is the periphery of the white forest, we won't encounter any powerful beasts, and we have the medicinal powder configured by the sect on our bodies, which is enough to drive away the beasts that appear here." ”

Chen Jing was about to ask what the content of the sect assessment would be examined, he heard a burst of exclamations ahead, he looked up, a huge archway stood at the end of the road, the pillar carved dragon and phoenix, in a circle of cloud patterns against the backdrop is more vivid, there is a golden book "Xuanzong" in the middle of the archway, the pen is desolate and clumsy, Chen Jing looked, he felt a chill, as if the long sword broke through the air, and the killing intent was faint.

Uncle Tie pushed him and said, "What's the matter, I'm scared before I started." ”

Chen Jing came back to her senses, immediately looked away, and said with a hippie smile: "How can it be possible if there is nothing." When he looked at the torii again, he didn't feel it just now.

"It's normal to be afraid, just relax your mind. Uncle Tie said with relief.

The two of them talked and laughed through the archway, looking from afar, the right side of the sect is an extremely open square, presumably it is a place for lectures and cultivation, and on the left is a building complex, built by the mountain, scattered, in the middle is the more towering main hall, which is the center of Xuanzong. And the front hall in front of them is the location of this assessment.

In front of the front hall there are disciples guarding, show the bronze medal given when registering, Chen Jing took out his own brand, the person asked his registration location and name, after checking that it is correct, there are disciples led into the front hall, the hall has gathered hundreds of people, many people are talking about what they are talking about, it is nothing more than in the next so-and-so, what is your Excellency, where is it, fortunately and so on. It is estimated that after an hour, everyone waited listlessly, and even the noise of conversation was much quieter.

Suddenly, I heard someone cough twice, the voice was very loud, everyone looked over, and saw an old man dressed as a scholar walking over accompanied by two disciples, it is estimated that he is over the age of six, his beard is white, and his spirit is unexpected, he has been walking to the chair in the hall and sat down, and said after a week of inspection with his eyes, "Everyone is very welcome to come to Xuanzong, let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhao Fu, the deputy sect master of Xuanzong, responsible for the recruitment of disciples this year, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can find me." Of course, you have to work hard to become a disciple of the sect. ”

A simple self-introduction, so that everyone's eyes changed from surprise to reverence, Zhao Fu was very satisfied with this effect, paused for a while and said, "Xuanzong, I won't introduce it, in the future, you will understand it yourself, now the assessment begins, Li Ken, you will preside." ”

"Yes, master. A middle-aged man walked out from next to Zhao Fu, looked at everyone and said, "Today's assessment is divided into two parts, one is an induction test, and the other is a physical fitness test. After speaking, a disciple came over and instructed everyone to retreat to both sides, I don't know what mechanism was touched, a stone platform rose from the middle of the main hall, the stone platform was not big, it was cylindrical, and a stone with an extremely ordinary shape floated quietly above the stone platform, the size of a fist.

Li Ken continued: "The stone you see now is the original stone, the original stone was produced at the beginning of chaos, and it does not have any earth-shattering functions, but it can detect a person's spirituality, wait for you to touch the spirit stone with your hands, as long as you have the potential to cultivate, the spirit stone will emit fluorescence, and this test will be considered passed." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, some were surprised, some were calm, some were panicked, and more were excited.

Li Ken picked up the roster table beside him and said, "Now the assessment begins, Zhang Umbrella." A dark-skinned, sturdy boy pushed aside the crowd, walked up calmly, walked up to the rough stone, took a deep breath, and then slowly put his right hand on the rough stone, the rough stone emitted a faint fluorescence, Li Ken said: "Qualified, next." Zhang Umbrella bowed to the Deputy Sect Master and walked down excitedly. "Next, Lisser. After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, he shouted again, "Lisser." ”

"Here, here. The big guy looked at the voice, and a thin boy quickly rushed out from behind, saying as he walked, "Excuse me, go to the bathroom." Then he walked quickly to the rough stone, put his hand on the rough stone, and the rough stone suddenly emitted a dazzling white fluorescence, Zhao Fu nodded and said, "Inspiration is reachable, and the future is immeasurable." Liser thanked him happily.

"Next, Wang Wu. As Liser walked down, a man in a robe of arrows walked up, with a stern expression and a steady pace, judging by his posture, he should have been trained by the army. He strode close to the stone platform, casually put the calloused hand on the spirit stone, but the spirit stone did not react, he stared, put the other hand on it, the spirit stone was still unmoved, bloodshot eyes instantly covered with eyeballs, "What a broken thing." After saying that, he hugged the spirit stone with both hands, and it seemed that he was going to drop it off, but as soon as Zhao Fu's right hand was raised, Wang Wu flew out sideways. Then he said, "Cultivate all the way, obey the heavens." Next. ”

Wang Wu retreated with the support of his disciples, and no one cared about such a losing competitor. The crowd advanced in an orderly manner, and Bai Lin, Lan Kun and the others also passed the assessment of the spirit stone. Soon Chen Jing heard his name, he stepped forward nervously, put his left hand on the spirit stone, and felt a hot current enter his body from his left hand, quickly wandering around the limbs, and then saw a dazzling white light burst out from the spirit stone, he himself was stunned by his dazzling light, until Zhao Fu nodded, and heard the sound of "next" again, he reluctantly put his hand down from the spirit stone, walked down excitedly, and went to the next assessment location under the command of the sect disciples.

It is located in a wide field behind the front hall, there are all kinds of stone tools on the ground, there are stone locks, stone hammers, stone mills, etc., the common point is that it is heavy, not the general weight, the leftmost is a stone lock, although it is only the size of a head, but there are 50 catties to say the least, and the stone mill on the far right is three feet square, and it is said to weigh a thousand catties.

A disciple in the field to introduce the assessment rules to people, this assessment is to examine the strength of the candidates, as long as you lift any of these objects can pass, at this time the number of people in the examination room is scarce, presumably after the assessment, the weight of 50 catties is not much difficulty for the children born of poor people, Chen Jing stepped forward, walked through three stone locks of different sizes, came to a side marked 100 catties of stone bench in front, Chen Jing took a deep breath, grabbed both ends of the stone bench with both hands, accompanied by a soft drink, a stone bench was lifted above the head, the memory disciple nodded, said: "Whether to continue the challenge. Chen Jing looked at the 120 catties of stone in the back, with his training in recent years, coupled with his study in the blacksmith shop, there is no problem in lifting, but when he came, Uncle Tie explained everything, don't be too ostentatious, learn to hide yourself, and so on. Shaking his head, he turned and walked out.

In front of the gate of Xuanzong.

"Here are a few sets of clothes and some household utensils, and I have put the silver in the mezzanine of my clothes. Pay attention to put it away. Uncle Tie handed over a burden to Chen Jing.

"When you enter the sect, you must be careful and cautious in everything, you must not make mistakes, you must listen to the words of the immortal elders, and cultivate well. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Tie. ”

"Thank you, you call me uncle, it's my nephew, isn't it right to help my nephew do this. If your father knew that you could enter the Xuanzong, I don't know how happy he would be. Seeing that Chen Jing wanted to speak, he said again, "I know what you want to say." ”

After a pause, Uncle Tie organized a language and said: "Last year, you injured Hua Tong, and your father and mother sent you to me because they were worried about your retaliation, but then your father sent a letter saying that Hua Fugui did not trouble him, but wanted you to stay in the city for a long time, so I told me to hide from you and not let you go home." ”

Hearing Uncle Tie's words, Chen Jing was angry and laughing, but a hanging heart was put down, remembering that he had been forced to come to Ling Tiancheng last year, Chen Jing wanted to go home several times, but was rejected by his father every time. It was, "I won't let you down, Dad." ”
