Chapter 35: The Past

"Third sister, do you really want to participate in the selection of new disciples recruited by the Rock City City Lord's Mansion in three years?" asked Gu Xiu.

She knew about this, Rock City is a middle city, and there are forty-nine small cities under it, and Xianshui City is one of these forty-nine subordinate cities.

The Rock City City Lord's Mansion generally recruits new disciples once every twenty years, and the minimum standard is that cultivation must at least enter the early stage of condensation.

If a mid-city city lord's mansion like Iwaki wants to recruit new disciples, it will usually recruit them from its own subordinate towns, and if monks from other places also want to participate in the selection, they need to have a letter of recommendation, and as for the person who writes the letter of recommendation, it must also be a person who needs to be approved by the city lord's mansion.

This recognized person has a wide range, which can be the city lord's relatives, friends, admired seniors, valued juniors, and capable subordinates, etc., but without exception, these people are not so easy to climb.

However, the Gu family didn't have any troubles in this regard, they were originally from Xianshui City, a city belonging to Yancheng, and they were the kind of people who could participate in the selection as long as they held the household registration jade plate.

"I heard that the disciples given by the Rock City City Lord's Mansion are very generous, if they participate in a certain trial or task, in addition to the original promised reward, in the end, they will also be rewarded according to the situation, our Immortal Water City City Lord's Mansion cannot be compared, and the exercises are also much better than what we are cultivating now. ”

Gu Shu said the reason why she wanted to enter the Rock City City Lord's Mansion, and persuaded Gu Xuan, "Eldest sister, the eighth sister has not yet entered the early stage of condensation, and we don't know what level of her cultivation will be in three years, but you are already a monk in the middle stage of condensation."

Instead of spending time at home, being forced to buy this and that with gold beads every year, it is better for us to go together to participate in the selection of the Iwacheng City Lord's Mansion, and the most important thing is that there are seniors in the City Lord's Mansion to guide the cultivation, and if we go there to cultivate, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Gu Shu cautiously looked at Gu Xuan's face and persuaded in a soft voice, but fortunately, Gu Xuan never showed any strong disgust, and Gu Shu finally said all the words in her heart.

"Finished?" Gu Xuan asked.

"Hmm. Gu Shu nodded, "It's over." ”

He asked again, "Eldest sister, what do you think, do you want to go with you then?"

Gu Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't go." ”

Gu Xuan didn't hesitate to say these two words, and this time even Gu Xiu, who could be regarded as an outsider for the time being, couldn't help but ask: "Why? Eldest sister, you have good qualifications, and you have been stuck in the middle of condensation for decades."

If you enter the Rock City City Lord's Mansion, with the guidance of your predecessors and relatively rich cultivation resources, you may be able to break through in one fell swoop and advance to the late stage of Condensation, not to mention, in time, you can also advance to the early stage of Scattered Gods and become a monk in the second Scattered Divine Stage of our family. ”

Gu Xiu really felt that this was a good opportunity, and she drew a bright future for Gu Xuan.

If Gu Xuan had stayed in the Gu family, it was very likely that by the end of Shouyuan, he would only be a low-level monk in the middle stage of condensation.

"Do you think the Rock City Lord's Mansion is that easy to enter?

Not to mention that there is a selection every 20 years, and the number of people recruited each time is also very limited, I remember that seventeen years ago, there were 60 new disciples, and there were several thousand monks who participated in the selection, and about a dozen of those 60 new disciples were already predetermined.

That is to say, thousands of people have to compete for the fifty places, and at that time, for that selection, the elixir talisman gold beads and so on that have been accumulated for many years have been spent, but nothing has been obtained.

Not to mention the Rock City City Lord's Mansion, even our Immortal Water City City Lord's Mansion is not something that monks like us can enter. ”

Gu Xiu frowned, "Eldest sister, what are we like like this?"

She felt that Gu Xuan was belittling herself too much, belittling them, and being too arrogant.

This made the former Yunxiu Zhenjun, who has always been full of self-confidence, very unhappy to hear.

Gu Shu also disagreed: "Eldest sister, even if you can't be selected, participating in the selection is also a trial, and there are many secret realms under the Rock City City Lord's Mansion, and it is likely that the selection will be placed in the secret realm, and there are all kinds of cultivation resources and even treasures in the secret realm."

According to the previous rules of the Iwacheng City Lord's Mansion, if you get something in the secret realm, you can leave one to two percent.

So even if we are not selected, this alone is worth a trip, not to mention that if we participate in more trials like this, we will have more experience, and if there is something similar in the future, we will not be blinded. ”

"Have you forgotten that my sister-in-law's cousin Shan participated in the selection of the Dingcheng City Lord's Mansion, and as a result, he stayed in the small world called Zihui, and I don't know if his soul can enter the netherworld, and I don't know how sad my sister-in-law is for this. ”

The sister-in-law in Gu Xuan's mouth refers to Gu Ruo's youngest daughter, the only sister of the second master Gu Yan, and Gu Hong, the cousin of Gu Hua Gu Jun and Gu Lang.

Gu Hong married Tan Qicong, the eldest son of the Tan family in Dingcheng, Zhongcheng, many years ago, and has had two children over the years, one is the eldest son Tan Shan, and the other is the youngest daughter Tan Shui.

Tan Shan participated in the selection competition of the Dingcheng City Lord's Mansion six years ago, and the selection location of the Dingcheng City Lord's Mansion was set in a small thousand worlds under the Dingcheng City Lord's Mansion.

The sub-circle has its own time cycle, the fifth day is a reincarnation, and outsiders can only enter at noon, and on the fifth day, they must go back, otherwise...... It's never going back.

That is to say, each person can only stay in the sub-return realm for five days at a time, and after five days, they will stay there.

It's not right to say that they stayed in the Zihui Realm, after all, it is said that five years ago, the Zihui Realm actually left dozens of monks who entered the selection process, and later the Dingcheng City Lord's Mansion also sent the only True God Stage Elder of the City Lord's Mansion to look for it, but as a result, no one was alive or dead, and no corpse was seen.

The Dingcheng City Lord's Mansion thought that those monks who participated in the selection had an internal fight in the Zihui Realm, and after killing people, they burned it down, which happened in many places of trial, and it was a very normal way of competition.

It's just that most of the monks who entered the Zihui Realm together and came back at the end said that they didn't kill anyone, and there were many spiritual herbs and immortal herbs in the Zihui Realm, which were easy to find, and they didn't need to fight with people for the spiritual herbs and immortal medicines needed for the selection competition, which would not only delay time but also be likely to steal chickens and rice, so they naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

However, a few monks said that they did fight with others, and that was because others wanted to rob them of their treasures, and they fought back, so they accidentally killed people.

Now that man is dead, right and wrong are naturally told by the living.

But fortunately, the whereabouts of those who did not return were finally figured out...... It's over.

Tan Shan was among the dozens of monks who didn't come back, because of this, Gu Hong was simply heartbroken, and he went mad while cultivating, and almost died.

It is precisely because of this that a series of bad chain reactions have been triggered.

Gu Hong was hit by this, and her parents, Gu Ruo, the third old lady, and Pan Yunlian, the third old lady, were not at ease, so they took Gu Dong, who was also the eldest grandson of the third family, and Gu Die, who was also the eldest granddaughter of the third family, to Dingcheng to visit Gu Hong.

As a result, the four ancestors and grandchildren did not reach Dingcheng at all, and they were killed on the way, and there were no bones left.
