Chapter 3 Cangyuan Sect
White clouds tumble between the two peaks, as thick as the white clouds in the sky.
The black kaftan stands out in the white, and it's hard not to pay attention.
The young man in the black shirt looked awe-inspiring, his eyes were like electricity, and Fang Er, who was being looked at, also felt a chill down his back, and he was cold all over his body, and he unconsciously shivered.
Compared with Fang Eryi, Shang Zhi was even more unbearable, his body was shaking, and he almost wanted to fall.
After looking at the two of them for a long time, he slowly spoke, "Where are you two from?
Shang Zhi was speechless, he didn't dare to look at the black-shirted youth, and looked down at the sand under his feet.
Fang Er also bowed and said: "The next two are Xianliu villagers, and they are also fifteen years old, and they came to worship the Immortal Gate, in order to worship the Cangyuan Immortal Sect. ”
The black-shirted young man was noncommittal, and with a wave of his sleeves, the thick cloud dissipated, revealing a straight stone staircase behind him.
The stone steps extend upwards, as far as the eye can see, hidden into the clouds, I don't know how high.
The black-shirted young man said indifferently: "If you want to enter the sect, just go up directly, at sunset, I will wait for you at the top of the stone steps, the sun sets, it is your time limit." ”
As soon as the words fell, a huge black goshawk suddenly appeared next to the man in black shirt, his eyes flickering with cold light, and his whole body exuded a palpitating aura.
The black-shirted young man rose up in person, landed on the back of the goshawk, stomped lightly, the goshawk jumped, spread its wings over the top of the two of them, and with a turn behind him, flapped his wings and flew high, went up the stone steps, and disappeared into the clouds in a blink of an eye.
One person and one eagle left, Fang Er also breathed a sigh of relief, the man in black shirt was better, and the oppression on him was not very great, but the goshawk really made him frightened.
His parents had taught him the common sense of the cultivation world, this kind of goshawk is fierce and ruthless, its beak is hard and sharp, not to mention ordinary people, even monks will be easily pierced by it, and then become the food of the goshawk.
Looking at the appearance of this head, it should be domesticated, but the demon beast is a demon beast after all, except for the owner, for the living, it is its food.
If the black-shirted young man was playing, it was not impossible for the goshawk to eat the two of them, and no one would see it anyway, so what if he did?
Fang Er also took a long time to regain his strength, took a deep breath, looked at the world that stretched upward, and a pride rose in his chest, vowing to conquer this stone step and control the goshawk soaring into the sky in the future......
Shang Zhi was already slumped on the ground, his dark face could not see any change, but his eyes were blank and frightened.
Fang Er also stretched out his hand to pull Shang Zhi up and said, "See, don't be afraid, you can also have such a day, but the premise is to climb this stone step, are you ready?"
Hearing Fang Eryi's voice, Shang Zhi woke up from his trance, turned his head to look at Fang Eryi, and a sense of gratitude rose.
"Let's go..."Fang Er was also straightforward, taking Shang Zhi's arm and stepping onto the first stone step.
This stone staircase, which I have heard of in Xianliu Village, is called the Ascending Immortal Ladder!
It is also the first level of assessment, if you can't reach the top within the specified time, it means elimination.
Shang Zhi was dragged by Fang Eryi and walked a few steps, and his strength regained under his feet, and he said gratefully: "Brother Yi'er, thank you, I'm fine, let's hurry up." ”
The stone steps are more than a foot high, straight and steep, to be honest, given their age and height, it will be a bit difficult to climb the stairs by themselves, not to mention that they have to drag Shang Zhi, which is indeed very difficult.
Shang Zhi can go by himself, and Fang Er is also much easier, the two of them go hand in hand, seize the time, and reach the top!
Shang Zhi began to work in the fields when he was a child, and his physique was strong and his endurance was good.
Fang Eryi's parents have also trained him in physique and strength, and his strength is still good.
But the stone steps were too high and steep, and after half an hour, their legs began to weaken, and the speed of the climb slowed down, and the top of the stone steps was still hidden in the clouds, and I don't know where to ......
Although they were very tired, the two did not stop to rest, knowing that once they stopped to rest, they would get more and more tired, and the more tired they were, the more they wanted to rest, and it would be impossible to reach the top.
Cheering each other on, chatting around, shifting the target, and not stopping under their feet.
After another hour, there were already many stone steps behind them, and it felt like they had climbed halfway up, however, they seemed to be far from the target, the clouds were still there, and the stone steps were still there.
After another hour, the two of them were out of breath, their legs were almost unable to lift, and they used their hands and feet together, climbing mechanically.
Suddenly, Shang Zhiwa screamed.
Fang Er also hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Shang Zhi's face surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Shang Zhi raised his finger upwards and swallowed hard, his voice dry, "Brother Yi'er, look... Is that a mountain gate?"
Fang Er has been climbing up with his head covered, and he hasn't looked up yet, mainly because he is worried that the disappointments will hit his confidence.
Hearing Shang Zhi say this, he looked up in confusion, and a memorial arch loomed in the hazy clouds.
Fang Er also realized that there was a mist around them, and before they knew it, they had entered the clouds and mist they saw below.
Looking back, the fog was cloudy, and the stone steps had been obscured, just as it was impossible to see where it was now.
"I guess... Let's hurry up, the sun is about to set..."Fang Er is also unsure, but as long as the sun is still there, he can't give up.
Shang Zhi didn't care if Fang Er was unsure, he only knew that he needed to work hard, not only his ideals, but also the expectations of his family......
Whew... Lying on the flat ground at the top of the stone steps, gasping for breath with his back to the sky.
I finally climbed up and finally could take a break.
After a moment, his breathing was relatively gentle, and Fang Er also turned his head to see that the red sun was still hanging high in the west, and it was not long before he went down the mountain.
Turning his head to look at Shang Zhi on the side, Fang Er also smiled weakly, and said weakly: "Okay, no, get up, we haven't gone in yet." ”
When Shang Zhi heard this, a spirit quickly sat up and urged: "Then hurry up." ”
Fang Er also smiled and stood up.
The bluestone paving at the foot and the fence of the same color look around, highlighting this ten-zhang platform, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
In the distance on the left, a mountain peak stands out through the clouds, and a big character is engraved on the surface of the black mountain - Cang!
On the right, there is also a mountain peak, the same black mountain, engraved with a source character.
One left and one right reflect each other, synthesizing the word Cangyuan.
The handwriting is simple, square, and exudes a vast atmosphere, which makes people feel proud and dry.
Directly ahead, two cylinders stand, covered by clouds and mist, and it is impossible to see through.
This was the only way to go, and the two of them looked at each other and walked together between the two columns.
Approaching the column, his eyes still couldn't see through, and he was hesitating whether to break in like this, when the black-shirted young man walked out of the clouds.
This time, the young man in the black shirt was relatively calm, and his tone was gentle, "Follow me." ”
Following the black-shirted young man through the stone pillar, the clouds and mist disappeared in front of him, and a vast mountain forest appeared.
Follow the young man in the black shirt, walk down the winding stone path, and enter the woods.
The surroundings are full of greenery, birds and insects chirp in the forest, trees are shady, and unknown flowers are blooming.
Stepping out of the woods, a stone staircase appeared, and this time it was not the kind of stone staircase that was assessed.
Climb the 100 stone steps and emerge into a huge square with a huge palace in front of it.
The scattered attic houses on the left and right are scattered among the mountains, and this is the sect of the Cangyuan Immortal Sect.
The black-shirted young man led the two to the left and entered a large hall, but when he entered, he was so nervous that he forgot to look at the name of the main hall.
On one side of the hall was a large table, and behind it sat an old man in a gray robe with gray hair.
"Deacon Zhang. Seeing the black-shirted young man, the gray-robed old man hurriedly got up to greet him and bowed his head.
The black-shirted young man Deacon Zhang hummed indifferently and explained to the old man: "These two are newcomers, distribute them clothes and introductory exercises, and arrange a place for them to live." ”
"Yes. The gray-robed old man responded, and gave his hand to Deacon Zhang, who left after giving an explanation, "Congratulations to Deacon." ”
The black-shirted young man walked out of the main hall, and the gray-robed old man straightened up.
After looking at the two of them for a while, the old man beckoned, "Come with me." ”
Turning around and walking into the door of the main hall, Fang Er and Shang Zhi followed closely......
In the room, on both sides of a table, the cleaning was hurried, and Fang Eryi, who had changed into the costume of the sect, sat opposite Shang Zhi.
There are two sets of gray robes on the table, which are the clothes that the two of them must wear in the Cangyuan Sect, plus the ones on their bodies, two sets per person, which is convenient for changing, if you still want it, you have to pay for it yourself.
The currency here is not worldly money, and even if it is, neither of them has it.
There doesn't seem to be a place to get coins in Xianliu Village, and the daily necessities are all provided by the Cangyuan Sect, they only need to be able to provide food and spiritual plants to grow every day.
Of course, if anyone wants to leave Xianliu Village, the sect will also give money, but no one has left yet.
On the folded clothes, there is a very thin booklet, and there are three words written on the booklet - Cangyuan Jue!
This is the introductory exercise of the Cangyuan Sect, and the introductory disciples practice with reference to the exercises, and within the time limit given by the sect, they meet the requirements of the introductory disciples.
The room where the two live is not big, and between the two beds is this big table, and they have to turn sideways to get in and out, otherwise they can't get by.
Shang Zhi finally let go of the heart he had been carrying at this time, at least passed the first hurdle, and he didn't have to disappoint his family.
As for his future cultivation, he didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only do his best.
If they don't do it, then they can only be dismissed, or return to Xianliu Village, or go away.
Fang Er was also relatively relaxed, he had already achieved speed in the exercises, if it weren't for the sect's door rules, he would probably have already met the requirements of the second level assessment.
Shang Zhi's honest temperament also caused him to not think much, and after settling down, he felt sleepy, anyway, today was also his most tiring day.
"Brother Yi'er, you still don't rest?" has a simple temperament, which does not mean stupidity.
Fang Er also smiled slightly, "Then hurry up and rest, tomorrow will officially start......
