Xu Wei tore open the tape wrapped around the box and took it out.

After opening the box, the black bead appeared in front of Xu Wei's eyes, and Xu Wei saw that the black bead was still emitting a trace of black mist. Xu Wei didn't dare to look at it more, he was a little afraid that the black mist would enter his head again and make him unconscious.

So Xu Wei closed the box and put the photo frame and the box into the ring.

After searching around again, Xu Wei found that there was nothing of value, so he walked out of the room.

When he came to the backyard, Xu Wei found that it was still dark, and when he took out his mobile phone, he found that it was already one o'clock in the morning of the next day.

After thinking about it, Xu Wei still chose to leave from the backyard over the wall, after all, it was safer to leave from the backyard.

After leaving the village, Xu Wei came to the vicinity of the main road, and waited for about an hour before Xu Wei finally got a taxi.

Xu Wei has no plans for the future for the time being, he feels that the money in his bank card is enough to live for himself for a while, anyway, now that he has become a lonely person, he has no heart to go back to school, so Xu Wei decided to go back to his home first.

Finally got into the car, Xu Wei sat in the passenger seat and was relieved, picked up his mobile phone and watched the news for a while, he wanted to know what happened in his home, why he didn't see a reporter reporting during the day. What's even more strange is that he searched the local news network for a long time, but he didn't find news about the destruction of his home, or the tragic death of those policemen today.

When did human life become so worthless? Usually, missing individuals are reported every day in the news, but now that many lives have died and no one cares, Xu Wei thinks that there must be something strange here.

When Xu Wei put down his mobile phone, he found that the eyes of the driver next to him kept glancing at him, and he looked like he wanted to say something.

Xu Wei looked at the driver and found that he was about thirty years old, with ordinary appearance and decent dress, Xu Wei happened to want to chat with people, so he talked to the driver without a word.

After chatting for about ten minutes, the driver's sudden words made Xu Wei lose his mind.

"Little brother, are you interested in going to the Spirit Sword Pavilion to participate in the selection of rookie disciples in three days?" the driver said to Xu Wei with a smile.

"Spirit Sword Pavilion? New Disciple Selection? What is that? I don't understand. Xu Wei smiled embarrassedly, he really hadn't heard of this sect, in fact, Xu Wei didn't know anything about other sects except for Wudang Mountain and the Blood Alliance.

"Wouldn't you?" replied the driver, somewhat surprised.

"Little brother, I see that you are wearing a spiritual ring in your hand, this is a thing in the cultivation circle, although you don't have spiritual power in your body now, but you can also participate in the selection of new disciples. ”

The driver patiently explained to Xu Wei, Xu Wei only then knew that the ring that could store items was called the spirit ring, and he also understood why the driver had been staring at his side just now, he obviously regarded himself as a newcomer who had just entered the cultivation circle. Thinking that this person turned out to be a person in the cultivation circle, Xu Wei was relieved, and since this was the case, he would no longer twist and pinch.

Xu Wei reported to the driver with a fist:

"Senior, my name is Xu Wei, I have indeed just stepped into the cultivation circle, this spiritual ring was also given to me by my family, I came out alone, I don't know anything about the things in the cultivation circle, and I ask my predecessors to give advice. ”

Xu Wei casually made up a lie, he didn't want to tell others that he got this spirit ring from the man in white, that would be too suspicious, Xu Wei didn't want to bring too much trouble to himself because of this spirit ring.

The driver looked at Xu Wei and laughed loudly:

"It turned out to be Little Brother Xu, there is no need to be like this, there is not so much red tape in the immortal cultivation circle, and only when you are in the sect will you pay attention to this aspect of things. ”

"Oh, I see"

Xu Wei touched his head and smiled awkwardly, he originally thought that the people in this immortal cultivation circle were the same as the people in martial arts novels, and they had to hug their fists and salute when they met, but they didn't expect that it was actually not that strict outside, after all, this was too eye-catching in the eyes of those ordinary people.

"Little Brother Xu doesn't need to be so restrained, my name is Chen Xiaofeng, I am a monk in the outer mountains of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, I am responsible for going out to collect intelligence this year, and I am also responsible for recruiting new people, you can just call me Brother Feng. Brother Feng smiled faintly and resolved the embarrassment.

"Okay, Brother Feng, can you tell me about the Immortal Cultivation Circle, after all, I have just entered the Cultivation Circle, and there are still many things I don't understand, such as how many sects are there in this world, what are the strongest sects, and the Spirit Yuan Realm, what level of cultivators is the Spiritual Qi Realm in the Immortal Cultivation Circle. ”

Xu Wei's series of questions did not embarrass Brother Feng, and Brother Feng patiently explained to Xu Wei while driving:

"There are many sects in this world, and there are countless large and small sects, and every day there are sects falling, and new sects are rising. But if you ask which sect is the strongest sect in the world. If the Holy Land wants to say second, then no one dares to say first. ”

"Holy land, where is that?"

"I don't know. Brother Feng shook his head and continued:

"Although the Holy Land is the most powerful sect in the world, it does not often appear in the world, and I heard that the place where the Holy Land is located is on a distant sea. It can rarely be found by monks from other sects, and it can be regarded as a protection mechanism for the Holy Land. ”

"On the sea, since no one can find the Holy Land, how can the Holy Land accept disciples?" Xu Wei asked Brother Feng in confusion.

"Don't worry, there are countless monks who want to go to the Holy Land every year, and every year there will be someone in the Holy Land to arrange for the recruitment of new people. However, the number of places in the Holy Land is limited, and those who can enter the Holy Land are either gifted or from noble births, which is not comparable to ordinary monks like us. ”

Saying that, Brother Feng sighed heavily, and complained unhappily about God's injustice, why is the gap between people and people so big.

Xu Wei sighed when he saw Brother Feng on the side, and comforted:

"Brother Feng, don't sigh, you are a monk now, many ordinary people can't enter this realm in their lifetime, and it's not easy for you to get to where you are today. By the way, Brother Feng, what realm are you in now?"

Seeing Xu Wei comforting himself like this, Brother Feng was no longer low, smiled and said:

"Let the little brother laugh, I just sighed for a while, but since the little brother asked, then I will tell you about the hierarchy in this cultivation circle. ”

Saying that, Brother Feng continued to explain:

When a monk cultivates, he must first go through physical training, and only when he has a physical body that is much stronger than ordinary people can he pave the way for the next level of realm. This is the starting point of the monk, but it also determines how far the monk can go in the future, and the stronger the physical body can be tempered in this realm, the more you will be able to outperform your opponent in actual combat in the future.

"This realm is so important, what is the name of this realm of Brother Feng?" Xu Wei asked anxiously.

"Spirits. Brother Feng also stopped selling Guan Zi and continued:

"The spirit realm is a threshold, and it keeps many ordinary people out of the door of the spiritual circle, but if you can enter this realm, it means that you have the qualifications to become a monk. As long as your talent is not too bad, you can generally cultivate to the height of the Spiritual Qi Realm or even the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the end. ”

"Spiritual Transformation Realm?" This is another realm that Xu Wei has never heard of.

Brother Feng said: "I have now reached the level of the fifth-layer realm of Lingyuan, and I have been in the pavilion for three years to be regarded as having superior qualifications, and it is very likely to reach the level of the Linghua realm in this life, as long as I concentrate on cultivation, I may be able to reach the Lingqi realm in a few years, and when I reach this realm, I will be able to transform the Lingyuan in my body into breath, and make a flying sword." ”

"Edgeworth?" Xu Wei shouted in surprise.

"That's right, the more powerful monks can even fly with their edges, but they don't usually show it off. ”

Xu Wei thought to himself that it was indeed the same, if everyone could fly with a sword, then what kind of chaos would this society have to become.

"It's here, little brother. ”

Brother Feng's words interrupted Xu Wei's contemplation, he didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and he still had many questions to ask.

Brother Feng looked at Xu Wei and smiled:

"Little brother, don't be so anxious, the days of cultivation are still long. If you can enter the Spirit Sword Pavilion, you will gradually understand everything about the things in the cultivation circle in the future, and you don't need to rush for a while. Oh yes, here you go. ”

Saying that, Brother Feng took out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to Xu Wei, saying:

"This is my business card, there is my phone number and WeChat, and please leave your information for the little brother, I will contact you in three days, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything in the future." ”

After Brother Feng finished speaking, he took out a thick folder from the cabinet again.

Xu Wei took the business card, took a look, and then put it away.

After opening the folder on the side, Brother Feng handed Xu Wei a pen, pointed to one of the pages and said:

"Little brother, please leave your name and phone number here and some other information. ”

"Okay. ”

Xu Wei took the pen and quickly filled in his information, and after handing it to Brother Feng, he saw that there were many other people's information on the folder on the side.

"Brother Feng, how many people will participate in the rookie selection?" Xu Wei asked.

Brother Feng said while sorting out the information:

"Spirit Sword Pavilion recruits nearly 100 newcomers every year, but only about half of them can pass the assessment. ”

"Is it so strict?" Xu Wei said with some surprise.

After sorting out the information, Brother Feng said to Xu Wei with a smile:

"This is considered normal, after all, the Spirit Sword Pavilion can be regarded as a big sect. ”

"Yes? I see. Xu Wei whispered back, he didn't expect this Spirit Sword Pavilion to be so powerful. Suddenly, Xu Wei remembered something, and hurriedly said to Brother Feng:

"By the way, Brother Feng, you can help me see what this thing is. ”

Xu Wei said as he took out the quaint little box from the spirit ring and handed it to Brother Feng.

Xu Wei now doesn't know whether the black beads in this box are dangerous to people, he doesn't even know what the black beads in it are, thinking that Brother Feng is a person in the cultivation circle after all, and he heard Brother Feng talk about so many things in the cultivation circle just now, Xu Wei thought that Brother Feng might be able to know what this thing is.

Brother Feng took the box, looked at it in his hand, and said with a smile:

"This box looks like it's been around for some years, little brother can't have any treasures in it, right?"

Xu Wei smiled bitterly, where is the treasure in this box, it is clearly a disaster, causing his family to be affected, and the death is unknown, if it weren't for the grandfather who had confessed before to hand over this thing to himself for safekeeping, Xu Wei really couldn't help but throw this thing away.

When Brother Feng saw Xu Wei like this, he didn't say more, and after opening the box carefully, he looked at it with a solemn look in his eyes for a long time, and finally shook his head and returned the box to Xu Wei.

"Brother Feng, don't even you know what this thing is?" Xu Wei asked in disappointment.

"I don't know, I've never seen this thing, I thought it was an elixir at first glance, but when I looked closely, I found that this thing was not an elixir at all. ”

"Not an elixir?" Xu Wei replied.

"That's right, most of the normal pills are candy-sized, I have never seen such a big one like this one, and most of the colors are mainly red, I have never seen this jet-black color, and what is even more strange is that this black bead still exudes a black mist, normal pills have more or less medicinal fragrance, but this black bead has no fragrance at all, so I'm sure this black bead is not an elixir, but what is it, I don't dare to jump to conclusions, I don't know where the little brother got this black bead?"

"My grandfather left it for me, and he didn't know what it was. ”

Xu Wei took the box and said in disappointment.

Brother Feng comforted Xu Wei on the side:

"Little brother don't have to be lost, the things in the cultivation circle are strange, since this black bead was left to you by your grandfather, then maybe it's really a treasure, maybe it's really a baby, little brother still put away this black bead, and if you meet a master in the future, it's not too late to take it out and show it to him, maybe you'll know what this thing is then." ”

After listening to Brother Feng's words, Xu Wei nodded, and after receiving the box into the ring, he thought about it and hugged his fist at Brother Feng again, and said solemnly:

"Thank you, Brother Feng, in three days, I will definitely work hard to pass the selection and become a disciple of the Spirit Sword Pavilion. ”

Seeing that Xu Wei was so serious, Brother Feng didn't say more, and clasped his fists and saluted:

"Then I wish the little brother a victory. ”

"Thank you, Brother Feng. After Xu Wei finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car.

"Alas, little brother, you forgot one thing. Brother Feng said to Xu Wei with a smile.

"What's the matter, Brother Feng?" Xu Wei was puzzled.

"Hahaha, you haven't paid for the car yet, little brother, don't think about it. Brother Feng laughed.

"Oh, oh, I'm really embarrassed, Brother Feng. Xu Wei was so embarrassed that he quickly picked up his mobile phone and paid the fare.

"Goodbye, little brother, I hope you can have a good performance when the newcomer is selected. ”

"Well, Brother Feng will not disappoint you next time. ”

"I remember you, little brother. ”

Brother Feng waved his hand and drove away.

"Goodbye, Brother Feng. Xu Wei waved his hand and watched Brother Feng go away.

After a while, Xu Wei turned around, looked at the home in front of him, his nose suddenly soured, and he whispered:

"Mom, Dad, I'm back. ”

I also want to cry a little when I write this, and I think about it carefully, I haven't been home for half a year.
