Qingcheng Mountain is located in the north of the southern country of Dali.

Here is inaccessible, the peaks stand, look at it from afar, the clouds and mist coil like a fairyland, and the ten thousand peaks are arranged like heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, which is extremely spectacular.

Qingcheng Mountain is 100,000 miles in circumference, there are thousands of mountain villages distributed around, although the south of Dali is a country, but it is only a larger mountain city, the population is only tens of thousands, it is also a country of leisure.

In these sparsely populated mountain villages and mountain towns, there have been legends of immortals since ancient times, but these ordinary people have only heard about it, and it should be a little talk after dinner.

Among the people, there has been such a smooth ballad:

Emei out of the sword immortal, try the sword Ning Biya, sit in Kyushu to watch the wind and clouds, a sword to swing the demons;

There are many heroes in Qingcheng, sharpening the knife Qixingtai, laughing at the immortals in the drunken Demon Palace, and beheading the demon with warm wine;

The Buddha praises compassion, sits in his heart, recites the scriptures with a smile and a smile, and rolls the evil spirit with a cane;

There are many fairies with a hundred flowers, whispering dreams and yarns, white clothes like snow and jade, golden wheels, and cold hearts;

Fairy birds and slaves, unicorns are my friends, the sunset is like blood and the sky is transparent, the bow is slightly drawn, and the sun and the moon are falling.

......

In Qingcheng Mountain, there is a majestic peak, which is full of thousands of feet, and the milky white clouds and mist are just coiled on the mountainside, which shows the height of this peak.

In the misty clouds, a looming bluestone staircase is like a green ribbon hanging down from the peak, but with the cover of this cloud, I don't know where this staircase extends.

Whew, swoop.

Suddenly, there was some slight friction sound from the mist, and then, the mist, rolled up, and some beautiful whirlpools, and in the ethereal whirlpool, an emaciated figure slowly appeared.

It was a young man, who looked to be eleven or twelve, dressed in a gray-black linen robe that did not seem to fit, and the hem of which was dragged up the bluestone steps from time to time. The young man's face was a little dark, but his facial features were quite upright, but the eyes that were supposed to be full of childlike fun and curiosity were dull and godless.

The boy held a broom in his hand, the handle of which was made entirely of fine iron, and it seemed that the weight was not light, and the broom was not very large, but compared to the young man's emaciated figure, it was much larger.

The young man held the broom handle with both hands, lowered his head slightly, and swept very carefully from the left to the right of the stone steps, cleaning each stone step three times, his movements were very steady, and the order of cleaning was also set in stone, each layer must be cleaned three times, and even the time when the broom landed and left the ground was exactly the same.

From a distance, he looked like a robot, repeating and repeating.

It seemed to be a slow sweep, but it was not really slow, but in half a moment, the young man's figure had completely reached the clouds, and in front of him, the long stone stairs still seemed to have no end, extending to the peak of the clouds.

After a while, the clouds and mist suddenly surged, and outside Qingcheng Mountain, a round of morning sun rose delicately, sprinkling light on this mysterious area.

Kongbang!

At the moment when the morning sun rose, a loud bell sounded, and the bells rang out in bursts, reverberating among the mountains and forests. There was an echo, and it seemed that thousands of bells rang, buzzing through the clouds, and even the diffuse clouds began to fluctuate.

Hearing the humming of Zhong Ding, the young man's steady hands trembled involuntarily, and then he raised his little face to look at the peak, and a trace of green light suddenly flashed in his godless eyes.

It only lasted for two breaths, and the next moment, the boy took another step and swept up, the same movement as before, unchanged.

......

When the morning sun rose high and stood overhead, the boy finally reached the top of the stone steps.

The area above the mountain is much larger than expected, and it is not a simple peak. Here is a completely different scene, a huge and incomparably blue and white jade stone square, outside the square is completely a sea of fog, the breeze is blowing, you can vaguely see a huge blue-black buildings, no less than 100 in sight.

I don't know why these buildings are suspended above the sea of clouds, but at first glance, it is really like a fairyland-like existence, at the end of the stone steps, there is a high gate courtyard built of huge stones, and a cyan stone slab is hung on the door.

On the slate, the three big blue and red characters of "Qingcheng School" are impressively engraved, and those three words seem to be carved by immortals, and there is a flash of inspiration in them, which is very peculiar.

Those ordinary people didn't know that there were really immortals in this world, and this Qingcheng faction was one of the five great immortal sects of the righteous path of the land of Kyushu.

In the land of Kyushu, there are not many large and small cultivation forces, and most of them exist in some spiritual secret realms.

Among these thousands of cultivation forces, there are naturally good and demonic divisions

Among them, the righteous path is respected by five factions, which are Emei, Buddha, Qingcheng, Baihua and fairy birds, among which the Emei faction and the Buddha faction are the head.

The Demon Dao is relatively weak, and it is divided into the Eastern Demon Sect, the Western Yunnan Demon Sect, and the Southern Demon Sect. Since ancient times, immortals and demons have stood together, and for the demon path, everyone in the righteous path is regarded as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and they want to pull it out quickly.

The Five Righteous Sects occupy the five directions of the land of Kyushu, and have resources and heritage that other immortal cultivation forces cannot imagine.

All immortal cultivators are proud to be able to enter the Five Great Righteous Sects, and some cultivator families even enjoy a hundred years of stability and prosperity because they have the protection of a member of the Five Great Righteous Sects.

However, the requirements of the five major sects for their disciples are extremely strict, and all disciples who enter the sect need to go through a series of rigorous tests.

The way of the main sword cultivation of the Emei faction, the person who has attained the Tao can take the head of the person with a spirit sword thousands of miles away, which is extremely powerful, and its disciples are all entering the Tao with a sword, it is said that in its sect, there is a place of sword mounds, and all new disciples must get one of the spirit swords to recognize the master, otherwise they will not be recognized by the sect.

The Buddha sect only recruits male disciples, and the entrance needs to be graded to participate in the Buddha, and those who have no Buddha nature are not accepted. The Buddha enters the Tao with refining the body, and the authentic exercises of the Buddha are all open and closed, and the existence of the mountain and the gold is split, among which the ten thousand Buddhas are the embodiment of the cultivation of the body to the extreme.

The Hundred Flowers Sect only recruits female disciples, and all of them are beautiful people, among the five major sects, the Hundred Flowers Sect is the weakest, but they have auxiliary abilities that are coveted by the other four major sects. Almost all the disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Forces will consider the Hundred Flowers Sect at the first time when they choose dual cultivation.

As the strongest auxiliary sect, the disciples of the sect are all entering the Tao with the art of Qi Huang, and it is said that the head of the Hundred Flowers Sect, Ni Youtan, can even live and die with human flesh and bones, and has a powerful Taoism that transforms decay into magic.

Immortal birds, extremely good at domesticating and controlling spirit beasts, is also the most secretive of the five major factions, most of its disciples have special abilities, can read the language of beasts, imitate the shape of beasts, and have a strong talent for spell marks, speaking of which, its requirements for the door are the strictest of the five major factions.

Finally, there is the Qingcheng faction, the Qingcheng lineage, which was established by Li Jingxu, a boy of bliss, thousands of years ago, and the world knows the name of Jingxu ancestor.

Fierce attacks and agile skills are the hallmarks of Qingcheng, the fighting style of attack makes the enemy fearful, the sharp and vigorous posture makes the enemy fearful, extremely good at close and medium combat, often can be stronger than their own enemies in the palm of the hand.

The Qingcheng disciples are all brave and ruthless, and the entry requirements of the Qingcheng faction are not difficult, but there are less than one in ten new disciples who can really stay in the sect for a year.

This is enough to show how fierce the competition within the sect is.

......

At the end of the stone steps, the boy gently waved an iron-handled broom and swept the last stone steps.

Standing under the huge courtyard, the young man wiped his forehead slightly, his thin body shook slightly, and after a short pause, he turned around again.

The iron-handled broom in his hand moved lightly, and the boy actually cleaned it again, only this time from top to bottom.

Whew!

At this moment, in the huge square above the mountain peak, three sturdy figures suddenly flashed out of the clouds. It was three young men in blue-black suits, all of them with resolute faces, and they seemed to be disciples of the Qingcheng faction.

"Hey, Dumb's speed is fast again today, the day before yesterday at this time, there are still five floors away from the top level, and today I have already begun to return. A teenager on the left side of the mouth lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Hehe, this nerd, I have to sweep Qinglong Road twice a day, and it's not easy to clean these 9,999 steps. The young man in the middle had a solemn face, as if he had some admiration for this sweeping teenager.

"Humph!" the boy on the right seemed to be the youngest, and he snorted with some disdain.

"A nerd is a nerd, if you can't even do this cleaning thing, what use do you want him, I have a line in Qingcheng, it's a joke to have such a gatekeeper, I really don't know why the head of the sect wants to keep him. ”

The young man's voice was indifferent, even with a touch of evil spirit, and he spoke unabashedly, in this empty place, it was particularly harsh.

"Senior Brother Xu, don't talk nonsense, you and I have only been in the faction for three years, and now we can get the task of introducing newcomers, which is not bad, how can you slander the head of the family behind his back, his old man, a dumb personality, but he is a resolute person, let me ask you, if you change to you, how many days can you sweep?"

"Hmph, what about the fortitude of the heart, he is not a pseudo-spiritual root waste. The young man surnamed Xu was reprimanded like this, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still had some taboos after all, so he just underestimated it and kept silent.

"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Zhou, let's hurry up and go down the mountain, presumably those newcomers have already gathered in front of the spirit monument. The young man in the middle didn't seem to want to say more on this topic, waved his hand, and took the lead in grazing down the stone steps.

I saw three cyan figures, like a whirlwind, every step out, you can cross dozens of stone steps, in an instant, it has swept past the sweeping dumb side, and gradually disappeared into the clouds and mist on the mountainside.

And for all this, the sweeping dumb seems to be unaware, still sweeping the bluestone steps, layer after layer, seemingly endlessly.
