When the two left the wine shop and returned to the inn, it was late at night, and the drunken Yan Fang fell asleep as soon as he returned to the room, and when he woke up, it was noon the next day.

....

After wandering around Luoyang City for another three days, it was time for Fuhu Mountain to recruit new disciples once every three years.

Early that morning, Yan Fang and Mo Sisi got up early, hired a carriage at the door of the inn, and rushed to Fuhu Mountain in the western suburbs of Luoyang.

The carriage traveled on the wide official road for an hour, and after being able to see the gate of Fuhu Mountain in the distance, it could no longer go forward.

Centered on the mountain gate of Fuhu Mountain, hundreds of thousands of people gathered around. From a distance, it looks like a large magnet with hundreds of thousands of ants adsorbed, and the sea of ants is overwhelming.

Yan Fang and Mo Sisi squeezed all the way from the edge of the ant sea to less than a mile away from the mountain gate, and they couldn't squeeze in anymore.

Mo Sisi looked at the white boots that had already been trampled under his sky-blue skirt, and felt a little distressed.

At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from mid-air, not loud, but clearly into the ears of hundreds of thousands of people around.

"Unrelated people who do not participate in the selection of new disciples of this sect should retreat to an area three miles away from the mountain gate, otherwise, they will bear the consequences. ”

The owner of the voice was a black-robed man with a sword on his back, standing in mid-air with his hands in his hands, looking coldly at the black sea of ants on the ground. At the same time, in this sea of ants, I don't know how many pairs of envious eyes of boys and girls are looking at the powerful man in front of them.

The black pressure ant sea is divided into two groups, one small one gradually penetrates into the inner circle, and the other large one gradually withdraws into the outer circle.

Among the hundreds of thousands of people, the largest number is not the boys and girls who come to participate in the assessment, but the relatives of these boys and girls. Parents who love their children want to see their children stand out in this assessment that gathers the best young people in Dachu and leap into the dragon.

After about a stick of incense, the two groups of people have been completely separated, and they look like two concentric circles centered on the mountain gate of Fuhu Mountain.

At this time, nearly 1,000 stone tablets fell from the sky and fell evenly at different positions in the inner circle.

"This stele is a test of your talent, in popular terms, it is the perception of the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth, everyone chooses a nearby stele to line up for testing, only those who are under the age of thirty and have cultivated to the condensation realm can make the stele light up, and those who shine more than twenty zhang will enter the next round of assessment. ”

The cold voice in mid-air sounded again.

The noisy sea of people below suddenly quieted, but then it turned into a pot of porridge, and everyone rushed to the nearest stone monument.

Yan Fang and Mo Sisi also chose a stone monument that was only fifty meters away and waited in line in the crowd.

There were about 100,000 people who participated in the assessment, and there were nearly 1,000 stone tablets around, which were evenly distributed, and there were only 100 people in front of each stone tablet. The first assessment did not take long.

The first examiner in the column where Yan Fang and Mo Sisi were located began the test.

It was a young man in a brocade robe, he pressed his palm flat on the stone tablet, trying to feel the surrounding heaven and earth Yuan power, for a long time, the man's original white face had turned red, with a trace of hideousness, but the stone tablet in front of him was still dim. The black-robed man in mid-air seemed to notice the situation here, and said in a cold voice, "Cultivators who have reached the Qi Sea Realm should leave on their own as soon as possible, and don't delay the time of the assessors behind." ”

The brocade-robed man who had not yet given up was shocked when he heard this, his face was blue and white, and finally he looked at the ancient stone tablet unwillingly, and left the crowd in a huff.

The second subject, a dark-skinned, simple-looking peasant boy who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, nervously rested his sweating right hand on the stone tablet and began the test.

Unlike when the first tester tested, the stele began to emit a faint light, and gradually became a pillar of light, and the pillar of light gradually expanded, and after expanding to about five zhang, no matter how hard the swarthy young man in front of the stele tried, it did not change in the slightest.

The swarthy boy stared blankly at the pillar of light in front of him, his eyes were slightly red, leaving unwilling tears.

The next dozen testers were unsuccessful, and the best score was only seventeen.

The subject in front of the stele was replaced by a delicate girl wearing a pale yellow dress. She is the twentieth tester.

The girl was a little nervous and put her little white hand on the stone tablet. The stele began to glow softly, and the pillars of light grew larger and larger.

Wuzhang... Ten Zhang... Fifteen zhang... Seventeen zhang... Nineteen zhang... Twenty zhang.

The pillar of light no longer changed after barely exceeding twenty zhang, and the girl in the yellow dress looked at the pillar of light in front of her in a trance, and it took a while to come to her senses, cheering softly, and her original white and tender face turned red because she was too excited.

The boys and girls who were still waiting in line behind were also inspired by the success of the girl in the yellow dress and rekindled the flame of hope that was about to be extinguished.

But the reality is cruel, only one of the next thirty testers succeeded, and the success rate was even lower than the first batch. One by one, the failed testers turned away, each with frustration and frustration written on their faces.

At this time, the opportunity came to the fifty-first tester, Mo Sisi, who was dressed in a blue dress, walked slowly to the stone tablet, gently tugged at the corner of the skirt with his left hand, looked down at the dirty white boots that were stepped on under the skirt, and put his right hand on the stone tablet with some trepidation.

The originally dim stele suddenly erupted into a violent light, like a dormant dragon finally soaring into the sky.

Ten Zhang... Twenty zhang... Thirty zhang... Fifty zhang..

The huge pillar of white light finally stopped changing after rising to fifty zhang.

Mo Sisi looked at the pillar of light in front of him, his pretty face was slightly red, and he looked down at the pair of white boots that were still dirty but inexplicably pleasing to the eye under the sky-blue skirt, and a smile appeared on his face that could not be concealed.

Yan Fang looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky in front of him, and was as surprised as the other testers who were still waiting behind him, the difference was that he was sincerely happy that Mo Sisi could easily pass the assessment.

Yan Fang walked up slowly and softly congratulated the girl in the blue dress with a smile on her face. Mo Sisi looked at the sincere young man in front of him, did not retreat into the crowd, but held Yan Fang's left hand, and said softly: "Come on, I will accompany you." ”

Yan Fang looked at the girl's clear eyes that seemed to be hiding a blue lake, and the original nervous heart suddenly calmed down, turned around and gently put his right hand on the rough stone tablet. Begin to sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force.

At this time, the content of "Guanshan Miscellaneous Talks" began to appear in Yan Fang's mind. For a moment, it seemed that he was the tall man in the book dressed in a white robe who was not angry and arrogant, playing iron, playing chess, making medicines, and walking between mountains and rivers.

The rough stone tablet in front of him began to emit a soft glow, which did not look as strong as it had been in the previous test, but it had been slowly expanding.

"Wuzhang... Ten Zhang.. Twenty zhang... Thirty zhang... Fifty zhang"

The silent one exceeded fifty zhang.

The pillar of light was still expanding, but it was slowing down, almost no longer changing.

Yan Fang began to sense the mysterious purple gold copper bowl in his body, and with the improvement of his cultivation, through his divine sense, Yan Fang could faintly see the outline of the copper bowl looming under a gray mist.

As if sensing Yan Fang's senses, a faint purple gold light began to emanate from the gray mist. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Force, which had almost ceased to converge around it, was like an ant suddenly smelling the smell of sweets and began to converge towards Yan Fang again.

The white pillar of light, which had barely changed, began to expand at a speed that was noticeable to the naked eye, albeit unfast.

After it was expanded to seventy zhang, it never moved again.

Yan Fang gently took away his right hand on the stone tablet, but after a cup of tea, a layer of warm sweat had condensed on his hand.

The left hand that Mo Sisi was holding tightly was also soaked, I don't know if it was his sweat, or the girl's sweat, or both.

Yan Fang looked at Mo Sisi on the side with a smile, and the girl's face also bloomed with the same bright smile. There is nothing more rewarding than the fact that both of them can successfully pass the assessment.

...

There were nearly fifty testers behind Yan Fang, but only the last gray-robed blind boy with a bamboo cane passed the test.

Moreover, the pillar of light in front of him was even more dazzling than Yan Fang's test, reaching a hundred zhang.

...

After the blind boy finished the test, about half a pillar of incense passed, and all the testers in front of the stone monument had finished testing, and the losers had all left this sad place one after another, and there were only about 5,000 people left in the square.

At this time, a picture scroll suddenly floated on the top of the mountain in the distance, and three green mountains were painted on the picture scroll.

....
