Lu Jian and a group of young people slowly walked down the higher and higher mountain road and came to the main hall of the sect of the Horse Temple.

This is a large complex of buildings that has been cleared out of the middle of the mountain, and a large open area is built against the mountain.

Gray walls and red tiles, the courtyard is layered on top of each other, rising one after another.

On the huge mountain gate, the three golden characters "Horse Temple" are particularly conspicuous.

Because there are many people who have come to the sect to sign up to learn art recently, now, there are three tables on the Shanmen Square, and there are special people here to register and assess the visitors.

Lu Jian saw that there were already many people who had arrived first in the square, and there was a long queue in front of each table.

Lu Jian asked someone at the end of the line about the rules.

It turned out that the three examiners behind these three desks were assessing three items, and only those who passed all three items were eligible to receive a primary selection disciple card.

Lu Jian thought that sure enough, this big sect was strict in accepting disciples.

Lu Pressure was at the back of the line at Table No. 1 in order.

The three items are, strength, eyesight, and precision

Lu Jian nodded, this is also the most basic requirement for learning swords.

The strength assessment is simple, that is, there is an iron frame next to the examiner, a thick rope is put on one side of the shelf, and the other end is tied with a huge stone.

Lu Jian was in the queue and had no worries about this assessment.

There are a lot of people in the assessment, but one person finishes it quickly, and if there is that strength, he will pull the boulder to the top of the iron frame when he comes up.

There are also those who have little strength, baring their teeth and grinning for a long time, and the boulder is only a little off the ground, and there is no movement.

For a time, the laughter of the victors and the sighs of the losers were endless.

The long queue soon had one person left for the land pressure assessment.

At that moment, a discordant voice rang out behind him.

"Let's get started, let this young master take the test first"

With the voice, a tall and strong young man came from nowhere.

The person in front of Lu Jian frowned and said, "Brother, line up, now it's my turn to take the test!"

The tall man sneered, bent his thick arms, and said to the man as if demonstrating: "Boy, hurry up and get out of the way for me, Young Master Ben has never lined up!"

The man looked at the strong man who was obviously a head taller than him, and he lost a little in momentum, so he took a step back, wanting the man to take the test first.

Lu Jian stepped forward and took the man's place, and then, he whispered to the strong man: "If he doesn't take the test, then it's my turn, please get out of the way." ”

The strong man had scared away a man who was beaming and proud, but suddenly, when he saw a fat black boy standing up, he felt a little annoyed.

"Boy, are you looking for death? Do you know who I am? Get out of the way, don't cry and call your mother when you are beaten by the young master!"

Lu Jian stared at him with a smile and said, "Whose mother are you?"

The strong man listened to Lu Pressure teasing himself, and his face showed a hideous color: "Fat boy, dare to entertain your Uncle Pu, I was provoked by you in the Pu family?"

As soon as the name was announced, many people's faces changed color and began to whisper.

"Is it the person from the southern who dominates the Pu family in Sichuan?"

"Yes, I heard that this Chuanzhong Pu family is very powerful, and there are several immortal cultivators in the sect, and their strength is strong!"

"No, the youngest generation leader of the Napu family is Pu Jin, it is said that he was born with sword courage, and at a young age, he has been accepted as a closed disciple by the Sheep Horn Peak Sheep Soldier Grandmaster, one of the twelve main gods in the world. ”

"It's really amazing, that's one of the few masters in the world, because of this, the Pu family in Sichuan has become a powerful force, and no one dares to provoke it. ”

Lu Jian didn't know any of the Chuanzhong Pu family at all, and listening to the whispers of those people, it seemed that he was a guy with a lot of background.

However, Lu Jian will not retreat, not to mention the twelve main gods, that is, Zhu Rong of the five supreme gods, hasn't he also fought against him? Although it is just a clone.

The strong man seemed to enjoy the scared look of the people around him, and he didn't realize that there was a smug look on his face.

Lu Jian is not an arrogant person, but he just took half a step forward, gently stretched out his hand to stop the strong man and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to take the exam!"

The strong man was stunned, he had never met someone who was so indifferent when he reported out of the house.

The strong man was furious, and he was about to grab Lu Press's neck and collar, trying to drag him behind.

At this time, the examiner, who had been standing behind the desk and watching them, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the strong man's arm.

The examiner was a thin old man, and his arm stretched out like an old branch, but after holding the strong man's arm, the strong man struggled for a while, and he couldn't break free.

The old man said coldly to the strong man: "Line up at the back" Then, he pressed to the landing, "You come to take the test"

Lu Jian smiled slightly, walked to the iron frame, and reached out to hold the handle on the rope.

The strong man was stopped by the old man, and he was a little annoyed, but after all, he was in someone else's territory, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he had to bow down and salute: "In Puning, in Xiachuan, I hope the master will make it convenient!"

The old man was still indifferent, and still said coldly: "Line up behind!" and then stopped looking at him.

Lu Jian saw that Zhuang Han Puning was deflated, he was amused in his heart, grabbed the handle, and the aura swirled, and he exhaled: "Get up!"

The huge stone was pulled to the top of the iron frame and hit the beam with a clanging sound.

The old man nodded, took a sign and handed it to Lu Quan, and said, "Let's go and take the next project." ”

Lu Jian thanked the old man, glanced at Zhuang Han Puning, and went to line up at the next table.

Puning was very embarrassed by the old man, but he didn't dare to be angry with him, so he wrote down all his anger on Lu Quan's body.

Pu Ning walked to the end of the team and scolded in his heart: "Little fat man, you wait, there will be you good-looking in the future!"

The second item is to test eyesight, on a very far target, there is a row of paper figures, most of them are the same action, only one paper figure has different movements, if you can find it quickly, it is to pass the test.

The third item is to test accuracy, a wooden puppet, placed three meters away, the person who is assessed stands outside a line, strides forward with a wooden sword in his hand, and needs to accurately hit the wooden people's heart lipstick circle, a total of ten chances, six can pass.

These two land pressures passed smoothly, especially the accuracy, for him who had practiced the Assassin's Sword, it was easy to hit ten hits.

After getting the three cards, Lu Jian walked to the door of the mountain gate and exchanged it for a primary disciple card.

Lu Jian took the sign, handed it to the disciple at the door, and walked into the mountain gate.

The main hall is tall and majestic, and it is very imposing.

The front of the hall is wide and flat, and now, there are many disciples who have passed the test.

On the white jade steps at the entrance of the main hall, there were three old men of the Horse Temple.

One of the three old men closed his eyes slightly, while the two old men on the left and right looked at more and more people below with a smile.

Although there were many people in front of the hall, they didn't dare to make a sound, and stood honestly, waiting for the old man above to speak.

The old man on the left stretched out his hand and gestured, and said to the crowd standing below: "Wait patiently, everyone, and when all the assessors are completed, then proceed to the next step." ”

Lu Jian also adjusted his breathing and carried out the cultivation of the daily operation of the aura.

About an hour later, just when everyone was waiting impatiently, three examiners outside the mountain gate walked in and signaled that the assessment was over.

The old man standing in the middle of the steps opened his eyes at this time, and his eyes were clear.

He looked at the crowd under the stands and said loudly: "You have been waiting for a long time, because there are more people who have come to take the exam this year, so the time has dragged on a bit long, but for us cultivators, patience is a very important thing, I think you won't be in a hurry!"

The crowd below shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry!"

The old man nodded, and said: "The old man is the deputy hall master of the Juxian Hall of this sect, Chai Jie, the two next to this are the two deacons of my hall, today the position passed our preliminary assessment, and became the primary disciple of our sect, in the next 7 days, we will assign three more tasks to the position, if completed, it will become our official outer disciple." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd below, thinking that after passing three rounds of assessment, he would already be able to become an introductory disciple, but he didn't expect to go through three assessments, and this horse temple was too strict in recruiting disciples.

Chai Jie smiled slightly, but his tone was tough: "Our sect is the gate of cultivation, how can we recruit people indiscriminately, naturally we must be strictly assessed, if anyone is dissatisfied, you can go back now!"

As soon as these words came out, the people below did not dare to have any objections, and they did not even dare to claim it.

Chai Jie nodded with satisfaction.

He divided them into five teams, each led by two deacons and the three examiners.

Then, he asked each of the five leaders to leave on their own with their own teams.

The team that Lu Jian was assigned to was led by the old man who tested his strength.

The old man took the ten people in his team and walked to a courtyard at the back to stand still.

The old man introduced himself: "Old man Sword Qi Hall Qiu Xiong, I am in charge of the ten of you for the time being, stay in my hall temporarily tonight, and start to carry out the assessment task tomorrow, I will tell you about the specific task tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he took everyone to live in the designated room in the courtyard.

Lu Jian found that the courtyard was very large, and there were many rooms, and he thought to himself, this is just a branch hall, such a big place, this horse temple is really a behemoth compared to Qingding Gate, even if it is Han Jinzong, the scale is much worse than the horse temple.

Lu Jian observed the rest of the team and saw that they were basically seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were all full of energy.

One of them was the one who was in front of Lu Jian and faced Pu Ning's retreat.

Through the conversation, I also got a general understanding of the other party's situation

His name is Jiang Shang, and he comes from a small branch of the Jiang family in Dongshan.

Lu Jian actually didn't know anything about these family forces, so he didn't know what the specific situation of the Dongshan Jiang family was, but looking at Jiang Shang's proud appearance, he thought it was also a relatively large sect.

Jiang Shang also saw that Lu Pressure didn't know anything about these Xiuzhen families, so he pulled Lu Pressure to chat.

Don't look at this Jiang Shang's weak personality and low cultivation. But I know a lot, especially the anecdotes of various sects, the number of masters in the door, and their cultivation.

For a while, Lu Jian also listened to it with relish,
