In the early morning of the next day, the morning light appeared, and before the gate was opened, an old man walked up the steps along the mountain road, getting closer and closer to Xiaoqingguan.

The old man was dressed in a coarse linen shirt, carrying a sword box almost taller than others on his thin shoulders, wrinkles appeared on his face, and his gray hair fluttered gently in the morning breeze.

The sun was shining up the hill, and he smiled softly at the rising sun, revealing the sockets of the few teeth that were left.

The fairy wind bones disappeared in an instant.

"I didn't find it after all......"

The old man sighed, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he was not too annoyed.

Living to his age, having experienced so many things he has experienced, even life and death, sometimes it seems to be just another change.

In this life, people are constantly changing.

To be able to live naturally requires to live, if you die...... It's also a well-deserved death.

Last night, he passed by Xiaoqing Mountain, and suddenly felt that there was a fairy qi born on the mountain, if there is any treasure in this world that can save his body full of holes, it must be immortal energy.

It's just that standing in the position where the old man once was, looking forward for five hundred years, looking back for five hundred years, the immortal qi is the most ethereal thing in this world after all.

Except for the top cultivators who are born by their own cultivation, every wisp of immortal qi in the outside world can be encountered but not sought, not to mention that if you want to continue his life, the amount of immortal qi required is not small.

At least there is absolutely no one in this world who can provide such a huge amount of immortal energy.

Not even in his own prime.

"That's it, you just disappear into this world with the old man and me." The old man said lightly, his gaze slowly shifting to the sky with the rising sun in the east.

He had felt that death was coming after him, and it was probably the last sunrise he had ever seen in his life.

The sword box behind him seemed to tremble twice, but no sound came out.

"Oh? There is a small Taoist temple on this mountain. ”

When he came to the top of the mountain, he saw the moss-covered Xiaoqingguan relics hidden in the forest like an independent one, the old man didn't know what to think of, and his heart was filled with a trace of nostalgia.

Then he saw the wooden sign standing in front of the gate.

"Beckon?"

The old man smiled dumbly, thinking that this temple must be a wonderful person.

If you still have time, you will definitely come forward and knock on the door, and talk to the Taoist friends inside.

But now, there's no need for that.

"Hmmm......"

His heart suddenly tightened, and the old man's face was slightly solemn.

Is the time up?

The sun hasn't fully risen yet......

However, dying in the face of the rising sun may also be a beautiful thing.

As for their own remains......

It will be given to the wonderful people in this Taoist temple as a creation.

……

Jiang Chou opened the door a little late today, mainly because he was not sure whether the people from Zhongtongmen would come to the door so quickly, if he came, he would inevitably have to fight to the death with the other party, and it would be too inelegant to open the door.

After waiting for a while, no one came, and Jiang Chou slowly opened the door.

The bright sunshine made Jiang Chou squint his eyes slightly.

He glanced at the grass in front of him and was slightly stunned.

An old man leaned on the wooden sign of "Zhao Zhangmen", as if he was asleep, facing east, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the sun shone on his old face that was crisscrossed by ravines, overflowing with an inexplicable profundity.

A long, narrow sword box rested quietly at the old man's feet.

This is...... Applying for a job?

……

"Are you awake?"

The old man woke up from the bed, and what caught the old man's eyes was Jiang Chou's face.

Rao is old man's eyes, which have read countless geniuses, couldn't help but widen suddenly, and couldn't help but look Jiang Chou up and down.

What a handsome young man!

Oh no, wait, shouldn't I be dead......

Could it be that this is a wonderland? This is a fairy in front of you?

Yes, probably only people in Wonderland can grow like this......

"You're here to apply for the manager, right?" Jiang Chou asked.

What is the job manager...... Master...... The old man remembered the wooden sign he had seen earlier, and vaguely guessed something......

"Wait, I'm not ......," said the old man.

"Then let's go straight to the interview." Jiang Chou said.

Old man: "? ”

"What are the Seven Realms of Cultivation?" Jiang Chou asked.

He only knew the names of the first three realms, and the last four realms were completely unknown. Although he can't practice, it's always right to know the name of the lower realm, right? And he's a little Taoist priest who doesn't know the excusable circumstances, if you want to be the head, you have to know this, right?

So this question shows a profession!

The old man looked at Jiang Chou's beautiful and serious face, and found that it was so difficult not to answer his question.

Or maybe he was suffering from an occupational disease, the old man shook his head lightly and said:

"Your question is not strictly accurate. In addition to the demon race, people, demons, and ghosts all have the cultivation of the Seven Realms, which clan are you asking? ”

Jiang Chou was silent.

Ha? Is that the case?

I don't know.

"Let's talk about it." Jiang Chou added with an unchanged expression, "Saying more about a cultivation system can add more points." ”

The old man glanced at Jiang Chou a little helplessly, and said slowly: "First of all, the most basic, you must have already known the cultivation of the Seven Realms of our human race, from the beginning to the end, they are Qi refining, foundation building, Dan formation, Xingyuan, knowing fate, not sticking and ascending to immortals!" Among them, the Qi Refining Realm is divided into 12 layers, corresponding to the 12 main meridians of the human body, and the first layer of Qi Refining is also called 'smelling immortal qi', and being able to smell this immortal qi indicates that you have the qualification to practice. ”

"The fourth layer of qi refining is also called 'dispelling the immortal mist', and only when you open the immortal mist can you see where the immortal gate is, which can be regarded as truly embarking on the path of cultivation."

"The ten layers of qi refining are called 'knocking on the immortal gate', knocking on the immortal gate, and only then can the foundation be built.

"Uh-huh." Jiang Chou had a look on his face I already knew, and you answered the right expression.

"The seven realms of the demon clan are Gathering Spirits, Transforming Shapes, Condensing Yuan, Cultivating Souls, Reincarnation, Shenyuan and Ascending Immortals......"

"The Seven Realms of the Ghost Clan, Returning to the Soul, Condensing, Fixing the Spirit, Casting the Spirit, Seeking the Heart, Refining the Shadow and Dacheng ......"

"And the demon race only has six realms, the Demon Descendant, the Open Pulse, the Transformation Wheel, the Gathering Stars, the Atavism and the Divine Shadow."

Jiang Chou was silent again for a long time.

I've gained a lot of knowledge!

"Very good, you've passed the basics, and then there are some advanced questions, please listen to the questions." Jiang Chou asked expressionlessly, "May I ask what is the principle of the Taishang Induction Chapter?" ”

The old man was stunned, isn't "Taishang Induction Chapter" the worst street method, what else is the principle? It's a human being.

However, Jiang Chou's problem is not over.

"If a disciple cultivates the "Taishang Induction Chapter" and goes mad, as the head of the sect, how will you deal with it?"

"Please write a Xuan-level exercise on the spot."

"How do you manage a large-scale sect with tens of millions of people?"

“……”

The old man was stunned and blinked, and there were still people who practiced "Taishang Induction Chapter" and went crazy?

Xuan-level exercises, old man, how could I remember this kind of low-level exercises?

Manage a large-scale sect with tens of millions of people...... Little brother, if I'm not mistaken, you are the only one in this Taoist temple now......

"Won't either?"

Jiang Chou frowned slightly, this old man can't do it, although we are just a small sect that is not in the stream, but you have to know all this!

You can't even build rockets during the interview, which sect will ask you to come in and screw it?

I will.

"Congratulations, passed."

Jiang Chou hugged his fist, saluted the old man, and said loudly: "Xiao Qingguan disciple Jiang Chou, meet the master!" ”

The old man looked at Jiang Chou, and after being silent for a long time, he finally sighed: "That...... Actually, I'm not here to apply for the manager. ”

Jiang Chou slowly raised his head, his gaze was not good.

……

"So you're really just passing by, tired and leaning against the door and falling asleep?" Jiang Chou glanced the old man up and down, a little disgusted.

"Exactly......" The old man thought to himself, I can't say that I thought I was going to die, if I really said that, he was worried that Jiang Chou would throw him out directly.

"That'...... Why don't you become a boss by the way? Jiang Chou still refused to give up.

The old man smiled wryly and shook his head, firmly refusing.

"Okay then." Jiang Chou said, "Then you can rest and leave by yourself, I still have something to do." ”

I thought I could recruit a leader, but it turned out to be an oolong.

It's just that recruiting two more people, why is it so difficult!

……

On this day, Jiang Chou didn't do anything else, and continued to try his luck in Qinghe County, trying to recruit the two to join Xiaoqingguan.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it.

At night, when he returned to the temple, Jiang Chou found that the old man had not left and was helping to sweep the floor in the courtyard.

"Are you really not interested in being a leader?" Jiang Chou asked again.

The old man smiled and shook his head.

Kind, but absolutely not!

"Then I'll have to collect money if you stay here."

Jiang Chou said, and went back to the backyard to practice the nameless mantra.

A moment later, a vague scent spread from the backyard to the frontyard.

"Snap"

The broom in the old man's hand fell off the ground, and a pair of old eyes were bigger than copper bells, staring incredibly in the direction of the backyard, trembling all over!

"Immortal...... Immortal ......"

"Huh"

He ran to the backyard and saw Jiang Chou sitting cross-legged in the courtyard to practice, as if he had seen a miracle.

Excited heart!

Trembling hands!

Jiang Chou slowly opened his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

"The ......"

The old man rubbed his hands uneasily, a little embarrassed.

"I suddenly feel like it's good to be in charge here, you...... Is there still a lack of a leader? ”
