Song of the Cave Immortals Chapter 18 The Art of Hope

Walking straight to the center of the hall, Yi Jianchu sat down on the round chair in the middle, with Mo Changfeng and Guo Ziyang on the left and right respectively.

And Jiang Rongyun is on the far left, and the one-armed Taoist is on the right, with an expressionless face.

The other four people all had their own disciples standing behind them, but this Patriarch Hall Elder was empty behind him, and he looked extremely desolate sitting on the side.

After everyone sat down, I saw Ning Dachuan behind Guo Ziyang coming out of the crowd, bowing about three feet in front of Yi Jianchu and saying:

"Sect Master, disciple Ning Dachuan was ordered by the master to preside over the newcomer entrance examination, a total of 258 newcomers were registered this year, 163 people were eliminated in the first round, and 95 people were passed. โ€

Yi Jianchu waved his hand and said, "It's hard work, you step down."

Ning Dachuan bowed and retreated, returning to Guo Ziyang and standing still.

According to the practice of the Iron Sword Gate, the sect master is selected first, followed by the Torture Hall, the Deacon Hall, and Ye Rongyun.

And the ancestor hall ignores the world, and has not given apprentices in previous years, so he should not have participated in this assessment, but this year, Yi Jianchu deliberately arranged for this one-armed Taoist to participate, I don't know what it means.

When Ning Dachuan retreated, Yi Jianchu glanced at the nervous rookie disciples below, and there seemed to be relief in his eyes, and he smiled:

"You don't need to be nervous, through the first round of assessment, you are all my disciples, regardless of the inner and outer doors, what you learn is my iron sword sect ancestor Taoism, and no different, the road to the sky, the fairy road is unpredictable, if you want to learn the fairy road, you must endure what ordinary people can't bear, for ordinary people don't do, indomitable, square into a big tool, you can get out of the nine palace array, indicating that you have extraordinary courage and courage, this is the foundation of my cultivation, honesty is precious, and then the old man and the elders will personally select disciples to teach, if you can enter the inner door, it is naturally good, not selected, and not in vain, you need to know the way of cultivation, each has a fate, daily logistics plus practice, may not be inferior to the inner door of the peopleใ€‚ โ€

After speaking, his eyes flashed and he looked at everyone.

Su Mai sat down, only to feel that it was easy to see the first glance, which seemed random, but it was like a mountain of heavy pressure, and a heavy sense of oppression hit in an instant, wanting to defeat people.

Under this heavy pressure, Su Mai only felt that his body was like an ant, unable to move, and a sense of powerlessness surged all over his body, like fish waiting to be slaughtered on the case, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

It's just that what he didn't know was that Yi Jianchu's glance was the most common "Qi Hope Technique" in the Divine Cultivation Realm.

Anyone who has reached a certain level of cultivation can use it, and it can be used to investigate the root bone qualification, but the effect of different cultivators is very different, and it is said that people who have cultivated to the peak can penetrate people's hearts at a glance.

After a while, three lucky people were produced, and Su Mai and the three of them had not yet been matched, but they were also relieved.

The sect master is an inferior person, and the one who can enter his eyes is not a genius who is rare in a hundred years, but also a person with excellent qualifications, what a chance it is.

When Mo Changfeng and Guo Ziyang's eyes swept over, and there were still no three of them, Su Mai was faintly a little unable to stand it.

Even if I am bad, I won't look down on it, the old man often praises me for being smart, I feel a little dissatisfied and depressed, but my face is an unruly attitude, you don't look down on me, and Lao Tzu is not happy to follow you.

Anyway, they all failed, and the last two are women, and the other is a Taoist priest in his last years, even if he is selected, he is afraid that there is not much gap between him and the outer disciples.

Gao Xiangpan sat beside Su Mai, seeing that Su Mai was not selected, he felt a little calm, and after coming out of the Nine Palace Array, he asked himself whether he was as good as Su Mai in terms of mind and courage, he was not selected, and it was reasonable for him to be defeated.

Han Ping'er didn't react from the beginning, just watched quietly.

But it's normal, the first few elders are all men, and the ones selected are all male disciples, and Jiang Rongyun's side hasn't started yet, so it's not her turn to worry, and looking at her demeanor, she seems to be quite confident in herself, and she looks like she has a good time.

Sure enough, after Jiang Rongyun smiled and her beautiful eyes flashed, Han Ping'er was the first to be selected.

I saw that he stood up gently, bowed to Jiang Langyun, bowed his head and smiled at Su Mai and the others, and then walked towards the crowd on the right side that had been selected earlier.

Gao Xiang glanced at Su Mai next to him, and even Han Ping'er was chosen, fortunately, with Su Mai as his companion, it would be good to be an outer disciple together.

Originally, he thought that Su Mai and Han Ping'er should be selected, but now that the sect master and the three elders have been selected, the one-armed old Taoist priest is left, and he is afraid that he will not have the energy to teach the apprentice.

It seems that Su Mai and he seem to be destined to be difficult brothers, thinking like this, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he even looks forward to the life of a disciple of the outer sect.

At this moment, it seems that the overall situation has been decided, and Su Mai has completely let go.

came to this Iron Sword Gate, originally to accompany Wu You, but now Wu You's whereabouts are unknown, whether he stays or not, in fact, it is not that important, it is a big deal to turn around and leave, but on face, I always feel a little unbearable.

Over the years, he has followed the son of the sky, although his life is hard, but his heart is high and arrogant.

In addition, Tian Suizi often said that he was more than smart, not diligent enough, if he was willing to study hard, he would become a big thing, etc., so that he developed a bit of arrogance, and now he has been eliminated, dozens of people do not have his share, and the blow to the young man's heart is not small.

On the surface, his demeanor was safe, but his heart was still a little gloomy, Su Mai raised his head lightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Gao Xiang's eyes.

After such a moment, Su Mai's heart suddenly moved, and he faintly felt a gaze coming.

In the blink of an eye, it was the one-armed old man who was looking at him, his eyes were not as depressed as the previous ones, but like a kind old man looking at the young and naughty child, which made Su Mai feel a little more warm.

The old man nodded and gave a rare smile, the only expression he had since entering the hall, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much lighter.

Before Su Mai could react, Gao Xiang here couldn't sit still, touched Su Mai lightly, and said quietly:

"Su Mai, it seems that this elder has taken a fancy to you"

Su Mai didn't respond, but smiled at the old man.

After a few moments, Su Mai was finally chosen, and he was the last to be chosen as an inner disciple.

Su Mai stood up, saluted the one-armed Taoist as usual, and glanced at the empty area behind the old man, but there was something unpleasant in his heart.

was selected in such a way, I don't know if I am the worst of the inner disciples in this year, maybe I don't even have a senior brother, I don't know what this old Taoist priest does.

At the moment when the old Taoist chose Su Mai, Yi Jianchu's calm face showed a faint smile, but everyone's eyes were focused on a new person, and no one noticed it.

After the newcomers were selected, there were disciples of the Iron Sword Sect to guide a group of newcomers from the inner sect to bow to the master.

In this big exam, the sect leader Yi Jianchu selected three people, Mo Changfeng selected four people, Guo Ziyang also selected five people, and Jiang Rongyun also selected two people in addition to Han Ping'er.

Only this old Taoist only chose Su Mai, maybe all the qualifications were picked away, and the rest can be picked one.

Everyone stood in front of their respective teachers at the round table in front of the hall, and knelt down to worship and offer tea in turn.

Su Mai stood alone in front of the one-armed old man, feeling a little uncomfortable, compared with the four next to him, this old Taoist priest seemed a little shabby, even down, and his demeanor and temperament were far from the same.

Thinking of this, Su Mai felt a little more sympathy for this one-armed old man.

What's more, just smiling at him just now can be regarded as a grace of knowledge, and the future will be talked about.

Relieved, Su Mai respectfully knelt down in front of the old man and kowtowed three times.

Then he took the hot tea handed by the disciple of the Iron Sword Sect next to him, presented it to the old Taoist priest, and said reverently: "Disciple Su Mai, please drink tea from the master."

Su Mai's emotional change just now, the old man saw it in his eyes, and at this moment, seeing his sincere expression, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and took over with a smile:

"Don't be polite, just get up."

After the apprenticeship was completed, everyone went back to each hall with the teacher, and the outer disciples who were not selected were led by Ning Dachuan and returned to the outer valley.

Before leaving, Gao Xiang's face was heavy, obviously depressed, Su Mai came over and patted him on the shoulder, comforted him a few words, and agreed to wait until he settled down, and then went out to visit him in the outer valley, and then went out with the old man.

One old and one young, one in front of the other, walked along the lakeside.

Without saying a word, he walked silently like this, going to a corner that no one paid attention to, leaving behind two faint figures.

Stay in the fairy lake, can you stay in the immortal?
