On the second day of the second lunar month, it is suitable for travel.

The rain fell loudly, fell to the ground, splashed the fragrance of the earth, fell to the surface of the lake, and rippled in circles, falling on the heads of passers-by, causing whispers of scolding.

"Whoever said it was better to travel today, it would rain when you went out." Lu Yang complained, and regretted that he didn't bring the coat in advance.

It was his first time going far away, and he had no experience, and the rain suddenly drenched him, his shoes were muddy, and he felt the malice of the ground on him when he walked—he needed to pull his feet out of the mud puddle.

A clattering voice came from behind him, attracting Lu Yang's attention.

Lu Yang turned his head to look and found that it was a carriage approaching him, there was no groom in the carriage, the old horse seemed to know the way, and no one needed to control it.

"What a strange horse." Lu Yang admired, there were a few scales on the old horse's forehead, like snake scales, obviously some kind of alien demon beast.

Although he didn't understand the value, he also knew the preciousness of this old horse.

At least he couldn't afford it with his financial resources.

"This brother walks in the rain, it's really a good Yaxing, why don't you come and sit in the car?"

There was a man's hearty laughter in the carriage, and Lu Yang accepted the man's kindness, pulled his foot out of the mud puddle, and hurriedly got into the car.

"I'm bothered, in Xia Luyang." Lu Yang cautiously sat into the carriage, afraid that the rain and mud on his body would stain the carriage.

"Meng Jingzhou." The owner of the carriage, like his voice, was a young man with a big grin, optimistic and hearty, as if he could say a word to anyone.

"Brother Lu is also here to participate in the selection of the Dao Sect?"

"Just a bit of luck."

Meng Jingzhou laughed: "Brother Lu, what's the matter with being honest, if you really just want to try your luck, you won't walk in the rain and go to the Dao Sect." ”

Lu Yang was a little ashamed: "Who doesn't want to enter the Dao Sect." ”

Ask Dao Sect, ranked one of the five major immortal sects in the Central Continent, there are countless immortal cultivation powers, and it is extremely strong, today Dao Sect recruits disciples, I don't know how many people want to try it.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou are two of them.

Lu Yang traveled to the Central Continent, his parents died early, and he survived by relying on the little inheritance left by his parents and the relief of the neighborhood.

In the more than ten years he has lived in the town, he has heard that Mr. Storyteller has heard that there is an immortal sword knocking on the gate of heaven, he has heard that the river demon turned over five hundred miles away, and the flood was overflowing, and he heard that the disciples of the fairy gate flew swords to kill the demon, and he had seen the sloppy Taoist priest who was abducted and deceived, and he rose in the air, escaped from prison in public, and was arrested by the official who rose in the sky.

At that time, he knew that this was not the world he was familiar with, not any dynasty he was familiar with, this was the world of cultivating immortals with the power of individuals.

He wanted to ask the immortals and learn the immortal method.

Asking the Daozong was his first stop.

There was no other reason for choosing to ask the Dao Sect, it was simply that there were no other sects around his house, only the Dao Sect family.

The Asking Sect is here, and other sects will not be bored with themselves, and choose to open a sect nearby.

During the conversation, Lu Yang learned that Meng Jingzhou was from a family of immortal cultivators, and his knowledge of immortal cultivation was far more than Lu Yang's.

"The requirements for the Dao Sect to recruit disciples are mortals under the age of sixteen, not only the Dao Sect, but most sects are required to do so."

"The path of cultivating immortals is obstructive and long, practicing qi, building a foundation, Jindan, Yuanying, transforming gods, refining void, merging, and crossing the tribulation, each realm is a watershed, I don't know how many people are stuck, ten into one, twenty into one, and even one out of a hundred."

"There are many factors that determine the achievement of cultivating immortals, such as luck, wisdom, and spiritual roots...... By the way, Brother Lu, do you know what kind of spiritual root you are? ”

"Although the Dao Sect does not have high requirements for spiritual roots, it also does not want spiritual roots that are too poor."

Lu Yang frowned, he still knew the word spiritual root from Mr. Storyteller, and he didn't know what spiritual root he was.

"I don't know, what about you, Brother Meng?"

Meng Jingzhou's face became very confused, and he also shook his head: "I have tested the spiritual root in the clan, but the clan elder has a sad face, and does not tell me the result, but just says that my talent is amazing, and it is not a problem to worship the Five Great Immortal Gates, and I will know when I worship the Five Great Immortal Gates in the future, I secretly asked my parents in private, they were more worried than the clan elders, and they also did not tell me." ”

Lu Yang speculated: "It may be that your spiritual root is too shocking and easy to bring disaster to the Meng family, and only a behemoth like Dao Sect can protect you." ”

"That's what I guessed." Meng Jingzhou patted Lu Yang's shoulder, looking like he had met a confidant, the more he looked at Lu Yang, the more he felt that this person was as talented as himself, and he was born with a seed of cultivation.

Lu Yang listened to the sound of the rain outside, and was glad that Meng Jingzhou let him get into the car.

"Stop." Meng Jingzhou suddenly shouted, and the old horse took a few steps and slowly stopped.

The carriage is a treasure, and Meng Jingzhou can see the situation outside the carriage.

Meng Jingzhou saw a woman walking in the rain outside the carriage, just like Lu Yang just now.

"This sister is walking in this direction, presumably she is also going to ask the Dao Sect to participate in the test, the rain is so heavy, why don't you come to the car to rest?"

The woman was a little surprised by Meng Jingzhou's proposal, thought about it, and agreed.

As soon as the woman got into the car, Meng Jingzhou and Lu Yang were stunned.

Meng Jingzhou has seen the world at his own expense, but he has never seen such a beautiful woman, not to mention Lu Yang, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen is the little widow who sells tofu next door.

Of course, Lu Yang is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he doesn't have any wrong thoughts about the little widow.

The woman is like a bewitching but not glamorous lotus, dressed in white, slim and elegant, with bright eyes and bright teeth, giving people a feeling of being separated from the world.

The woman also wears a string of golden bells on her right wrist.

"Yunzhi has thanked the two."

The woman's voice is like a clear spring, which makes people feel very comfortable to listen to.

Lu Yang noticed something strange and whispered: "Brother Meng, why did she do it, could it be a monster?" ”

In storytelling, there are often monsters turning into beautiful women to seduce young and strong young men like them.

Just now, Lu Yang poured it like a chicken in soup, embarrassed, on the other hand, Yunzhi, there was no rain on his body, and it didn't look like he had walked in the rain at all.

Meng Jingzhou didn't think much about it: "Maybe it's because he has a treasure that can shelter from the rain, which is also common in the world." ”

Meng Jingzhou is not worried that Yunzhi is a demon and a ghost, this is the territory of the Dao Sect, which monster is dead, dare to come to the Dao Sect to make trouble.

"Miss Yunzhi is here to take part in the Dao Sect test?"

"Exactly."

Meng Jingzhou said diligently: "I happen to have the test content of the Dao Sect here, and I bought it from the Elder of the Dao Sect for a lot of money, do you want to hear about it?" ”

Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou in surprise, why didn't you tell me?

Yunzhi was even more surprised than Lu Yang: "This is cheating, in case it is discovered by the Dao Sect ......"

Meng Jingzhou waved his hand, with a confident expression: "My carriage is a treasure, even those old monsters who are powerful in cultivating immortals and live in seclusion can't use their divine sense to probe here." ”

"I see, please also ask Meng Gongzi to inform me of the content of the test."

When Lu Yang heard this, he also pricked up his ears to listen.

Meng Jingzhou cleared his throat: "The Ask Daozong test is divided into three levels, the first level tests the spiritual root, this is a hard test, there is no possibility of shortcuts and shortcuts, and there is room for operation The second and third levels." ”

"The second level is a test of character, a carriage is out of control, to crash into the five people lying on the side of the road, knocking down will definitely die, and there is another person lying not far away, we, as outsiders, can control the direction of the carriage out of control, do we choose to ignore it and kill five people, or change direction and kill another person?"

Lu Yang didn't think twice: "Hit and kill another person." ”

Meng Jingzhou was very surprised, he hadn't thought of a solution since he learned the content of the second level, how could Lu Yang make a decision immediately?

If you choose to ignore it, you will watch five people being hit and killed, and you can get by in reason and you can't help it.

chose to change direction and kill another person, then this person is so unlucky, he deserves to be killed, and he did it himself.

Meng Jingzhou told his doubts, and Lu Yang explained: "How can there be so much time for you to think, and by the time you think about the result, those five people would have been killed a long time ago." I suspect that the test of the Dao Sect is not whether you choose to save five people or one, but whether you can make a quick decision. ”

"I heard Mr. Shushu say that one of the differences in a monk's fighting method is life and death, what is the character of the second level test, whether it depends on your indecision or decisive decision, and making a decision in the shortest time is the most important thing."

Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized.

"The third level is a test of honesty, and the Dao Sect has a mirror that can judge whether you are telling the truth or a lie, and if you are found to have told a lie, you will be kicked out of the test directly."

Lu Yang pondered: "This level is simple, if you don't remind in advance, it's easy to cover yourself up with lies, but since you know in advance, it's good to tell the truth." ”

Meng Jingzhou nodded, he thought so too.

The two discussed for a while, and put forward a lot of possible accidents and countermeasures, and they felt that it was seamless.

Miss Yunzhi showed a hint of a smile, as if she thought that what the two of them said was a good way.

"Thank you Lu Shaoxia for telling me."

"Well, the rain has stopped?" Lu Yang found that there was no more sound of dripping rain falling outside the car, so he couldn't help but lean out curiously.

It was still pouring rain where they had just walked, and the place where they were was sunny and fragrant with birds and flowers, as if there was a peerless sword qi that divided the world into two halves, yin and yang, and never intersected.

Lu Yang looked up, only to see countless rare beasts and immortal magic weapons rushing to the majestic mountains that reached the sky.

The majestic mountains are gilded with a layer of pale gold by the sun, and magnificent patterns spread out from behind the mountains, covering the sky and blocking the heavy rain.

It was the gateway mountain of the Dao Sect, and on it was the Great Array of Protectors, which no one could break.

Out of respect for the Daoist Sect, the monastic genius, under the leadership of his own parents, landed at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the Daoist Sect to open the test.

The old horse is already a rare xenomorph demon beast, but compared to those stopped divine beasts at the foot of the mountain, it is still a little worse.

"Mom, this is much more domineering than our Meng family's house." Meng Jingzhou rubbed his hands, a little nervous, thinking that he would be able to pass the test soon and become a member of the Dao Sect, he was even more excited in his heart.

Lu Yang didn't say anything, he could see this mountain when he was at home, it was too far away at that time, he didn't feel anything, and when he stood at the foot of the mountain, he realized what a behemoth it was.

He was a little nervous, and there were ways to do it in the second and third levels, but he still didn't know what his spiritual root was, and maybe he couldn't even pass the first test.

Dozens of monks stood in the air, guarding in front of the mountain, all exuding powerful aura fluctuations, Lu Yang suspected that if they completely let go of their breath, there would not even be many people present who could stand.

These monks were silent, giving people psychological pressure for no reason.

Lu Yang heard that some family elders introduced to their juniors: "Look at the Taoist robe system, this is the core disciple of the Dao Sect, all of whom are apprenticed to the major elders, and these people will be your senior brothers in the future." ”

"You don't have to be nervous, they don't mean to put pressure on you, it looks like they're waiting for the person who is presiding over this test, and when the host arrives, the test should begin."

Lu Yang turned his head to see Miss Yunzhi's reaction, whether she was excited or nervous.

You can't still be indifferent, right?

"Yunzhi girl, you ......"

As soon as Lu Yang wanted to say something, he saw Miss Yunzhi walking lightly, and before each step fell, a white lotus would hold up her weak body.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the elders of the family showed cold sweat on their foreheads, and hurriedly silenced the juniors.

The white lotus paved the road, across the crowd, Yunzhi girl came to the core disciples of the Dao Sect, the disciples of the Dao Sect bowed to it to show respect, the Yunzhi girl raised her hand lightly, faced everyone, pursed her lips and smiled.

"I've made everyone wait for a long time, I'm Senior Sister Dao Sect, the host of this test."

"I declare that the test has officially begun."

After that, the Yunzhi girl still glanced at the sluggish Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with a smile.

She did come to take the Daozong test, but she was not a candidate, but an examiner.
