Canghai City, just after the New Year, people are still immersed in the atmosphere of the festival, and everyone's face is full of happy smiles.

At this time, the martial arts courtyard seemed to be covered by a large net, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. There is no other reason, today is a major festival of the Martial Academy every three years, that is, the day when the Jiji Gate recruits disciples.

This is not only about the future of the students, but also about the honor of the entire martial arts academy, and it is also the reason for the tension between the two martial arts academies.

Outside the Martial Arts Chamber.

Xiang Yang came to the martial arts academy at the time agreed by the dean, and wanted to report directly to the dean, but was stopped outside the conference hall.

Although Xiang Yang didn't know what was happening, he had already noticed the unusual atmosphere today, and he didn't say much, just waited patiently outside.

In the council hall at this time, it was indeed the same as Xiang Yang's thoughts, and there was a hint of heaviness in the air.

On the top sat an old man in a silver robe with a pink belt, and behind him stood two young men with a silver robe and a green belt.

It is not appropriate to call him an old man, because although his body is slightly bowed and his hair is gray, there are not many wrinkles on his face. If you just look at his face, you will think that he is the same age as the dean of the martial arts academy.

"This year's seedlings are not very good, Dean Wu is this disdain for our Luo Luo Jimen's registered disciple quota?" The silver-robed old man squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Fang Yuan, who was standing with his head bowed, as if he was dissatisfied?

Wang Qiang, Du Jiqiang, and Yang Yu, who were also standing next to him, also hurriedly lowered their heads, and the joy that should have passed the test was shocked by the majestic old man in front of him.

The dean of the Martial Academy stood up and replied with his fists clenched, "Another named disciple is already waiting outside the door. ”

After hearing this, the old man got up directly and walked outside, and after seeing Dean Wu's eyes, Fang Yun and the others followed behind the silver-robed green-belt disciple and walked towards the door.

When the old man saw Xiang Yang standing there at random, his footsteps did not pause, but Xiang Yang was frightened by the old man's indifferent gaze, and the alarm bell had already sounded in his heart, the life of the Rocky Gate would not be easy, and he should be careful everywhere.

"Keep up. After hearing the dean's low-pitched prompt, Xiang Yang nodded, and finally took a deep look at the familiar faces and the surrounding buildings, and at the end of the group, left.

Outside the city gate, the old man suddenly stopped, "There is still something to do, you take the junior brothers and sisters back to the division gate first." ”

The silver-robed green-belted disciple bowed down to receive the order, "Yes, disciple, you must bring them safely." ”

The silver-robed old man was talking, a few ups and downs disappeared, Fang Yun's eyes lit up, there was surprise, curiosity, and envy in their eyes, obviously attracted by the old man's sudden move, and he was full of yearning for the life of Luojimen.

"Alright, alright, don't even look at it, what do you think? The tall disciple said impatiently.

"It's really bad luck, I haven't encountered a good seedling, and I've wasted my cultivation time in vain. After speaking, he ignored anyone, sat on the ground, and cultivated.

The short and fat disciple took out a stack of papers from his arms and stepped forward with a smile, "Come on, come on, one for each person." ”

"Senior brother, what is this?" Du Jiqiang stepped forward to take it and asked aloud.

The others were also curious, and they all looked up at him, and it was full of red ghost drawings, and they really couldn't see the use of this thing.

The Humpty Dumpty disciple bowed his head slightly, "This is a divine talisman that can help us reach the sect safely and quickly." ”

The others only cared about the novelty and happiness, but Xiang Yang noticed the alienation in the eyes of the short and fat disciple, and did not let down his guard because of the still raised corners of his mouth.

"You stick it on your feet, and after I infuse it with spiritual power, you can use it. "Humpty Dumpty disciples, show how to use them as they talk, and help them inject spiritual power one by one.

When the Humpty Dumpty disciple was helping others, Xiang Yang tried to inject the essence in his body into the Divine Talisman, and the moment his feet left the ground, Xiang Yang felt that he was about to fly, and Xiang Yang was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his essence.

The so-called spiritual power of the Humpty Dumpty disciples is actually only the essence of the early stage of Qi training, and Xiang Yang has always thought that the essence in his body is the internal force that the other disciples in the martial arts academy said.

She never thought about why her own internal force was endless in the ring that day, but the other party's internal force was easily exhausted.

After the short and fat disciples injected spiritual power into several people one after another, half of the spiritual power in his body had been consumed, and he looked at the tall disciple next to him who was still practicing with his eyes closed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he walked straight towards Xiangyang.

Xiang Yang saw the Humpty Dumpty disciple walking towards him, and took the initiative to pick up the Shenxing Talisman and handed it to the Humpty Dumpty disciple.

No, the short and fat disciple directly staggered by, and there was no charity for Xiang Yang out of the corner of his eye.

"It's really not that simple," Xiang Yang thought to himself, "this is ready to spill his dissatisfaction on me." ”

Xiang Yang can only rely on himself, if he is not interested, I am afraid that he will suffer some hardships. It doesn't matter if she suffers, she is afraid that she will not be able to reach the Luoji Gate, after all, she is just a registered disciple with little value.

Xiang Yang injected essence into the Shenxing Talisman again, jumped up directly, and fell forward to the ground, and the others laughed.

The Humpty Dumpty disciple happened to see this scene, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that he had accidentally injected it before.

Xiang Yang didn't dare to inject a large amount of essence qi, but only tried a small amount to control the amount of essence input, so that the quantity was stable within a certain range.

The short and fat disciple came to the tall disciple and called out to Senior Brother. The tall disciple stood up and walked forward on his own, ignoring the short and fat disciple.

"Everyone followed me. The Humpty Dumpty disciple took the lead in running forward, not fast, but one or two feet in one step.

Seeing this, the disciples behind also ran one after another. Stumbling and stumbling is obviously not suitable for this way of walking.

Coupled with the difference between each step and the usual distance, there was an instinctive sense of tension, and from time to time everyone's faces were already sweating profusely, which was a little embarrassed compared to the ease of the short and fat disciples.

Gradually, the state of the crowd is getting better and better, and it is getting more and more relaxed.

But Xiang Yang is not among them, and he has to carefully control the amount of essence energy, and he has to run forward to keep up with their speed.

A little rushed, the steps are big for a while, small for a while, tall for a while, shallow for a while, swaying like a baby toddler, and after a while the clothes are wet with sweat.

Under this sense of urgency, Xiang Yang was quickly freed from the infant state and ran better and better. She could even run faster, because she was supported by a steady stream of energy, but she didn't show it, but fell silently behind everyone.

I don't know how long I ran, but the more I ran, the more barren it became, there was no human being, and the surrounding silence was terrible.

Before they could reach their limit, the Humpty Dumpty disciple in front stopped.

"Alright, here we are. "Everyone looked around, and there was no sect except that the mountain is the mountain, and the trees were the trees.

The tall disciple took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it into the air, and after a ripple, a path appeared.

"We have a large mountain protection array at the mountain gate, and we usually cover up the mountain gate, so that no mortals will break through by mistake. Humpty Dumpty explained.

The tall disciple led the way up the mountain, and everyone followed. The flowers and trees, they have been numb to see along the road, but here is inexplicably refreshing, and it feels like it can cleanse the soul.

Gradually, the road became wider and wider, there were more forks in the road, and there were more people, and the clothes were the same as those of tall disciples and short and fat disciples, with silver robes and green belts and silver robes and silver belts.

The tall disciple suddenly stopped and said to the person behind him, "Follow me if you pass the test." After speaking, he walked straight forward, and Wang Qiang and Yang Yu hurriedly followed.

"Hmph!" Humpty Dumpty snorted coldly, "Before I do that, I'll give you a few pieces of advice. Here, if you want to survive, you can only rely on two things, one is cultivation, and the other is background. People who don't have either of us, just clamp their tails and be human, don't wait for one day, their lives are gone, and they don't know how they died. Some people just have a good life!" The short and fat disciple glanced in the direction where the tall disciple had left, and his tone was quite resentful.

Sure enough, it's not that simple, although the two of them are dressed the same, but obviously the tall disciple has a hard background. Xiang Yang lowered his head, and didn't dare to relax, and honestly followed behind the short and fat disciple, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Next, Xiang Yang and Fang Yuan followed the Humpty Dumpty disciples, handled the identity token, and received the clothes and sect tasks.

After that, they came to a row of low, dilapidated houses.

"Let's go get some rest and go to the lobby for dinner. He pointed to the two smaller rooms in the adjoining house.

The two houses are the smallest and most dilapidated, but fortunately there is one room per person, and there will be no inconvenience.

Ancient books are the most expensive things on Xiang Yang's body, and before going to the Tang Hall, you must first place the ancient books.

There is a deep hole in the wall, Xiang Yang put the book in one volume, the black book cover, old, the burnt yellow pages and the yellow wall are integrated, there is no trace of disobedience

Xiang Yang carries a long sword, ready to look around, and there are tasks, but also to understand in advance, this is a habit that Xiang Yang has developed, and he doesn't like unexpected things.

The first thing Xiang Yang went to was Nachuan Tower, because this was where her mission was located.

Nachuan Building is the center of the Rocky Gate, and it is also the top priority of the sect, because this is the place where the Rocky Gate exercises are stored, and Xiangyang's task is to sort out the books on the first floor.

Nachuan Building, after Xiang Yang handed in the identity token and explained his intention, caused everyone to laugh.

"The first floor scrivener task? ”

"Laughing to death, haha...... Two Pei Yuan Dan. ”

"I really don't understand, why the sect organizes the books on the first floor, and no one reads them at all. ”

"It's really pitiful, when she first came here, she only had two Peiyuan Pills a month, how could she cultivate? The disciple who said this shook his head, quite worried about Xiang Yang's situation.

"What do you do with all that, as long as it's not you, I'll do it. The disciple next to him was a little gloating.

Xiang Yang didn't say a word, and stood there quietly, letting them watch and discuss.

After the steward disciple confirmed, "That's right, you can come over tomorrow and hand back the Xiangyang identity token."

The disciples in charge also heard their teasing, and symbolically comforted: "Don't listen to their nonsense, the advantage is that the books in it are read, as long as you don't take them out." ”

"Hehe, it's better not to read it, it's all basic martial arts and miscellaneous books, and there is no serious exercise. ”

"Okay, let's not say a word, this is not a good stubble. ”

Xiang Yang thanked him, took the token, turned around and walked out, no matter whether others were sincere or false, what should be said and what should be done must be done.
