Chapter 4 Tests are required to enter the mountain
The wind whistled past his ears, the corners of his clothes slapped his body, his eyes were blown into tears, Yi Lin felt chills, and his body shrank a little. Zheng Tong noticed it, and then the mana was released, forming a protective cover, "Senior brother, how do you feel? ”
"Much better, thank you, brother. Yi Lin felt a peaceful warm current surrounding him, and said gratefully. "I don't know what level my senior brother's cultivation has reached? ”
"After more than 20 years of wasted time, I was cultivated by Master with all my might, and I barely reached the early stage of foundation building, and I am ashamed to ...... ashamed" Zheng Tong smiled a little bitterly.
"It's amazing!" Yi Lin said in surprise.
"The junior brother hasn't entered the mountain gate yet, so I don't understand. I also boast of extraordinary qualifications, who would have thought that those people would be more perverted" Zheng Tong said hatefully, "Just our group of more than 1,000 people who started at the same time, there are more than ten far more than me, reaching the middle stage, three of them have passed the late stage, and there are more than 20 people who are on par with me." ”
"That's amazing, too. ”
"Master has tilted his resources towards a few of us. Zheng Tong was a little embarrassed.
"But others do the same. ”
"I always feel a little sorry for Master. Zheng Tong said, "I was brought up by Master since I was seven years old, just like father and son. Last time, I was ranked in the middle of the door, and I tried my best to get thirty-five, and Senior Sister Qinglian was lucky, and I got twelve. ”
"Who's number one?" Yi Lin asked.
"Senior brother Xiao Yu, worthy of the name of the first person in the foundation building period. Zheng Tong said respectfully, "Turning into a sword with a body, cultivating oneself with a sword, truly entering the Tao with a sword, and comprehending the sword intent before building the foundation." No one compares, no one can match, and it is rare that I have never hidden myself, and I have also received favors. ”
Yi Lin secretly wrote down the name. "Please advise Senior Brother, why can't the Immortal Master directly accept me as an apprentice?"
"I've been waiting for you to ask for a long time, this is the rule of the sect. Zheng Tong said with a smile, "All the recruited disciples and those who worship on their own must go through three tests, and those who pass can apprentice, otherwise they can't be inner disciples." ”
"Why?"
"Qualifications, perseverance, perseverance, are all indispensable. Senior brother can't reveal too much, otherwise he will break the door rules. ”
"It's embarrassing for my senior brother. Yi Lin said guiltily.
"It's okay. Zheng Tong said. "Go to the mountain first, live at the outer gate first, and test it in three days, I wish the junior brother to get started as soon as possible. Okay, don't say much, Senior Sister Qinglian and they have already gone away, and I will chase after them with all my might. So he stopped saying a word, cast the spell with all his might, and the flying sword was much faster. gradually caught up with Li Qinglian and walked with a sword.
In the hazy night, he couldn't see the face of the other side clearly, Yi Lin vaguely felt that Miss Yun glanced at him, but he didn't speak. So he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Nothing was said all night.
When it was dark, a few people landed in the town to rest, ate some food, and continued to hurry, another day passed, and finally arrived at the outer gate of the Tianxuan Sword at dusk. This has formed a large town, at least fifty or sixty thousand people, and when the Sword Sect accepted disciples, the population reached the peak, with more than 100,000 people, it is said that this is still the reason for the sect's restrictions, to avoid mortals from being too noisy and affecting the cultivation of immortals. There are countless restaurants, inns, and shops, with fluttering flags, busy traffic, and full of people.
Zheng Tong and Li Qinglian took Yi Lin and the three of them to the inn of Tianxuanmen, and after settling down, they returned to the sect. The three of them were tired, and after dinner, they rested in peace.
The next day, Zheng and Li took the three of them to the market to buy clothes, shoes and hats, and left some money for the three of them to recuperate and wait for the test in the coming day. This made Yi Lin slightly nervous similar to before the college entrance examination, and he had some insomnia when he slept.
Finally, the first rays of sunshine ushered in in the morning, and the long-awaited day came, and more than 20,000 people lined up in turn to come to the designated square to test.
Yi Lin fixed his eyes and saw that on the high platform in the distance, there were ten tables, and behind each table sat three Tianxuan Sword Sect people, Uncle Cheng and Uncle Jing were among them, and two tables were women, and Li Qinglian was impressively in the day.
"Bang Bang," after three gongs, Cheng Shibo stood up and began to speak, "Everyone pay attention, I warn you of three: one is not to make loud noises, and the offender will be disqualified immediately", immediately silent, "After the second test, those who pass will be issued a number plate, and they shall not compete, and those who do not pass will return and shall not stay." 3. Unrelated personnel will leave the venue, and those over the age of 16 will leave the venue. Well, the test begins. ”
So, the line began to move, and from time to time there were sounds such as "I'm over" or "Let me try again". A fat man went up to the high platform, with a very festive round face, reached out and touched the round ball on the platform, the round ball slowly changed from light yellow to apricot yellow, golden, "Tu Linggen, superior, over." Take the number plate. The little fat man happily took the number plate and walked to the audience. Everyone was envious. Yi Lin looked at the success rate, and it was only two or three out of ten, that is, at most five or six thousand people could advance to the first level.
When there were eight people in front of Yi Lin, there was a burst of exclamations on the stage, "The round ball actually emitted a bright light", Ding Qing looked over, only to see a young man in a yellow robe, showing a proud expression, and his slightly sharp eyes ruined his handsome face, "The best fire spirit root, pass." ”...... Then several spirit roots are low in succession, or none of them are all eliminated.
Yi Lin was a little nervous in his heart, it was time for him to take the stage, so he stepped forward, and it happened to be Uncle Jing's table, respectfully bowing. Uncle Jing's face was expressionless, and he didn't know him. So learn others to put their hands on the ball, a cool through, slowly the ball from the light yellow color has deepened, and finally through the light, the "best earth spirit root ......" test of the immortal master did not finish speaking, the ball changed the color from crimson crimson to vermilion and finally deep purple, everyone was a little surprised, who knew that this is not the end, the ball actually demonstrated all five colors, and then the small cracks were visible to the naked eye, crawling all over the ball. There was a crackling sound, and the ball turned to powder as everyone looked at it. "This is too unreliable, isn't it!" Yi Lin scolded for a while, this world is really amazing, some things happen unexpectedly, and said with a smile: "Immortal masters, can it be regarded as over?" After being speechless for a while, looking up, the three immortal masters were looking at each other, and their eyes were in disbelief. It turns out that it's not just that I haven't seen the world.
"Let him pass first!" Uncle Jing regained his composure, "Let's report to the head of the house for ruling!" The remaining two nodded, one handed out the number plate, and the other took out a new ball from his arms, "Next." ”
Yi Lin took the number plate and walked into the tested team, and everyone looked at the monster's essence, far away from him, whispering. After a long time, the fat man from the earth spirit root came over and said flatteringly, "Senior brother, I admire you so much, how did you do it?"
"Only God knows. Yi Lin said speechlessly, "Why, they also reject you." ”
"How could a group of proud people fall in love with me," the fat little said self-deprecatingly. "Ignore you when you talk to them. My name is Wang Dazhu, and I will ask my brother to cover my hair in the future. ”
"Help each other, my name is Yi Lin. ”
......
Slowly the test came to an end, and there were a few people with excellent qualifications, one of whom had a golden fire spirit root mutation, and actually blew up the second ball, and two girls, one water spirit root changed into an ice spirit root, and the other was a strange water and fire spirit root symbiosis, and the color of the ball actually appeared snow white and purple red at the same time, making people think that the ball was going to be scrapped again, but they were fine. In the end, a Heavenly Spirit Root was born, which was said to be the daughter of a certain elder, which suppressed everyone's limelight at once, and no one even paid attention to a few top-grade Spirit Roots.
All the people who got the number plates, a total of more than 5,000 people, were guided to enter the outer mountain gate of the Tianxuan Sword, distributed Bigu Dan, and sat quietly and waited for the next round of tests.
