Chapter 12 Opening the Mountain Gate
Seven days later, Baishui County changed its hundred-year-old tranquility and ushered in a new day in the midst of the noise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ The various horse-drawn carriages decorated with info have blocked the entire Whitewater Street, making it difficult for people to crowd forward a little bit.
The citizens of Baishui County have only seen donkey carts and ox carts on weekdays, but they have never seen such a scene, so they simply don't leave, just stand by and watch the excitement, and they say a word to me.
Obviously, the owner of the carriage had the same idea, and a young man suddenly couldn't stand the speed of the road, and opened the curtain to look out, but there was an unexpected gain.
"Oh, Brother Wang, long time no see!"
The young man who also came out of the carriage next to him was also surprised: "Brother Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
"Brother Wang, are you here to apprentice?"
"Of course, Brother Sun too, haha, let's be a coincidence!"
Recognition of each other appeared one after another, and soon everyone found that the rich young masters in the entire Heyang Prefecture seemed to have gathered in Baishui County.
This fact made everyone a little embarrassed, but after tacitly glancing at each other, they immediately resumed their smiling appearance, and walked arm in arm with a look of hello, hello, everyone, and came to the west of Baishui County, before the field under the name of Tongtian Sect.
At this time, it is obviously not appropriate to stay in the carriage again, after all, looking at the time, it is already half of the morning, and the sect master of the Tongtian Sect may come over at any time, if he is still in the carriage at that time, isn't it embarrassing the sect master and causing trouble for himself? The young masters may not be good at the life skills of cooking and making clothes, but they are very familiar with the human scene, and they all get down from the carriage at the moment and gather on the open field in front of the farmland.
So in the blink of an eye, there were two groups of people on the open fieldβyes, two, on one side was the group of young masters in brocade clothes and jade belts, and on the other side was a thin young man in coarse linen clothes.
The young man seemed to have arrived here in advance, standing and waiting early, and seeing the new young masters ignoring him, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but sweep into the distance.
There, the tenants of the Tongtian Sect, led by the loach, were concerned. Seeing him turn his head, they all nodded and waved at him as a sign of encouragement.
Seeing this, the young man immediately took a deep breath, his face looked better, and he was able to continue to wait calmly.
They didn't wait long, and about a quarter of an hour later, a teenager came slowly.
This young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a blue-and-white robe with a pattern of stars and moons, with upright features and lofty eyebrows, and a compelling heroic spirit. When he walked closer, his eyes swept in front of everyone, which made the young masters hold their breath and stop talking.
This person was Lin Sen's apprentice Wei Li.
"I am the Tongtian Sect Weili, the one who came to lead the apprenticeship at the behest of the family teacher. He opened his mouth and asked, "Are you here to apprentice?"
Everyone nodded and hurriedly shouted: "Exactly." We have admired Tongtian Sect for a long time, and we have already prepared gifts to give, and we only ask Sect Master Lin to take us under our door. β
As they spoke, their servants had taken many gifts from the carriage, including calligraphy and paintings, jade, curiosities, and the most indispensable money bags.
This is obviously the gift money for apprenticeship, but compared to the outspokenness of Fuhumen at the beginning, these rich and noble families know what it means to be face-saving, and only call it a gift - in this way, at least it looks much better, isn't it?
However, they didn't expect that in the face of these heavy gifts, Wei Li said without looking at them: "Put away these things, you don't need them now!"
All the young masters were stunned, and couldn't help but look at each other: What kind of routine is this?
Everyone thought about it and unanimously gave birth to an idea: Is it too little?
This made the young masters a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, they decided: even if the price is increased now, they must worship under the Tongtian Sect!
However, before they could express this intention, Wei Li shattered their thoughts: "On the orders of the family master, this apprenticeship needs to be selected first, and only those who pass the selection can be included in my Tongtian Sect!"
When the young masters heard this, they were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to react.
In fact, this is obviously different from the previous rules, and it is not in line with the convention, but from a logical point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with this, after all, people accept apprentices, as for how to accept them, can you still manage it?
When the young masters were struggling, they heard a voice again.
"If you are willing to participate in the selection, follow up, otherwise I will be regarded as giving up the selection and it is impossible to apprentice. β
Wei Li said that, and turned around directly towards the mountain forest.
Seeing this, the young masters immediately panicked, didn't dare to think about it, and subconsciously followed: no matter what you say, you must go up first and then speak, otherwise if everything is done, you will be blocked by others, and your elders will definitely kill you!
Wei Li, who had already walked to the front of the mountain forest, turned around and saw that no one was standing still, and immediately smiled. And when he saw that the nearest one behind him was a young man in coarse linen, his smile was even gentler.
"You're Xu Mo, aren't you?"
The young man was shocked: "Yes, I am Xu Mo." β
"I know you, and the loaches are here from Heyang City. Wei Li said with a smile: "When you are selected for a while, you have to work hard." β
The young man Xu Mo hurriedly nodded: "I will." β
Wei Li smiled, didn't say more, and continued to move forward into the mountain forest.
And Xu Mo, who was behind him, was on fire in his heart.
"Uncle Loach didn't lie to me, he really didn't rely on money to admit disciples, but selected them first. And this only disciple of Tongtian Sect is also encouraging me!"
He turned his head slightly, swept over the young masters who were speeding up behind him, and gritted his teeth suddenly: "I must pass the selection!"
In this way, everyone followed behind Wei Li, entered Qingniu Mountain, and began to climb up along the mountain road.
Half an hour later, the young masters were panting, sweating profusely, and tired. They were all born in the rich and noble families of Heyang City, not to mention heavy work, even if they did not exercise much on weekdays, how could they stand such a physically exhausting thing as climbing a mountain? If it weren't for the fear of falling behind, they would not be able to apprentice, they would have stopped and collapsed on the ground and rested wantonly.
"Could it be that the selection is to climb the mountain?" someone gasped and asked, "This is too tiring!"
Xu Mo, who was following closely behind Wei Li, heard this sentence and didn't say anything, only shook his head secretly in his heart: "It shouldn't be." Not to mention that climbing the mountain can be regarded as a selection, even when Fang Cai, the only disciple of Tongtian Sect, encouraged me, and also said that I would work hard when I was selected, obviously not now. β
"I just don't know, what exactly is that selection?"
While thinking like this, he followed closely behind Wei Li, not daring to break away in the slightest.
Half disappeared again, and when the young masters were already soaked and sore and weak, Wei Li finally stopped, turned his head to them and said, "Okay, you have come to the gate of my Tongtian Sect Mountain. β
When everyone heard this, they couldn't take a break, and they all looked up ahead, wanting to see what the number one sect of Heyang Mansion looked like today.
There is no doubt that they saw the bluestone mountain wall and the two vermilion gates inlaid on it.
This is the Tongtian Sect? Everyone was disappointed: This is just opening a door on the mountain wall, what is it?
However, Wei Li suddenly shouted: "Be optimistic about the mountain gate, the selection will begin!"
This shout came suddenly, and everyone was excited, and they couldn't help but look at it again, and they saw a flash of purple light on the mountain wall, and it seemed to form some kind of pattern vaguely.
Xu Mo, as one of them, is naturally no exception, but fortunately, it seems that because he is in good health, he immediately recovered and regained his senses.
Only by this time, the scene had changed in front of him: he seemed to be lying in a mountain temple, not in front of a mountain gate.
What's more, there was a beautiful woman with a pretty face beside him, who was looking concerned at the moment.
"Xu Xianggong, Xu Xianggong?" she called softly, "Are you awake?"
"What's wrong with me?" Xu Mo was stunned and blurted out asking: "Who are you?"
"You're fainting here. The beautiful woman replied, "Little girl Bai Suzhen, I have been taking care of you for half an hour!" )
