Chapter 7 Climbing the Swagger Mountain
On August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival was bright, and Si Yi and the four of them sat in the courtyard to admire the moon.
From Linzhou City to Bingzhou City, they walked for a total of two years and two months, but at that time, there was still half a year before the day when the Eight Great Sects accepted disciples, so they chose Qiulin Town, which was closer to Bingzhou City, to settle down.
"The moonlight is so good today!" Zhang Yingying casually picked up a piece of pastry from the stone table and ate it with enjoyment.
"Yes, the moonlight is so beautiful!" Tao Zi couldn't help but sigh. She has regained her girlly appearance today, and the pus on her face has disappeared more than a year ago. The moonlight shone on her face, as if it had crossed a layer of silver light, ethereal and far-reaching, and Si Yi was stunned.
Noticing Si Yi's gaze, Tao Zi coughed a little uncomfortably. Now Si Yi is a twelve-year-old boy, dressed in a coarse cloth, wheat-colored skin, and bright eyes, as dazzling as stars in the sky.
Tao Zi vaguely felt Si Yi's unusual attention to her, but she didn't know how to deal with it. After two and a half years of getting along, the four of them have long been like relatives and family, and Si Yi is like a younger brother in her heart. But he didn't make it clear, wouldn't it be embarrassing if she said something to say no now?
That's it, after all, tomorrow is the day of the apprenticeship, and I don't know what will happen to the four of them in the future, so let him go!
"Sister Ah Zi, which sect do you want to go to? I have already inquired, not every one of the eight major sects will come to Zhaoyao Mountain to accept disciples, if the sect you want to go to does not come to accept disciples this year, how can it be good?" Among the four people, the steamed bun with the biggest change, his current name is Yuelin, which is taken from the meaning of Linzhou City in Dongyue Kingdom.
getting along day and night, he knew that the most assertive among the four was not the eldest Si Yi, but Tao Zi, and along the way, Tao Zi took moderate care of him, and he had already treated Tao Zi as his own sister. So now I can't help but worry about tomorrow's sect choice.
"Little steamed buns, it has always been the sect that selects disciples, how can any disciple choose the sect? Moreover, even in the immortal cultivation world, those who have spiritual roots are one out of a thousand, let alone in the secular world where the spiritual energy is thin and almost none. At the beginning, Tao Zi asked them if they went all the way to Zhaoyao Mountain, but in the end, what would happen if they didn't have the opportunity to cultivate immortals? But the three of them insisted that they must come, and if they came, they might not have a chance to cultivate immortals, but if they didn't come, they might regret it for a lifetime.
Yes, they are all mortals from the mundane world, can they really be so lucky to have spiritual roots?
For a while, everyone's minds were inevitably worried, and it was not until the middle of the moon that they washed and rested without mentioning it.
Before dawn the next day, the four of them set off to Bingzhou City.
........................
In Liuxian Town, thousands of miles away, Tao Linghua threw a teacup in annoyance.
In the past three years, because of the prophet, she grabbed a phantom heart bead and a few star meteorites in Fang City, and also explored two ancient cultivation caves, and the harvest was even greater. Cultivation has also advanced from the seventh layer of qi refining to the great perfection of qi refining, if it weren't for the pressure of the master, she would have already hit the foundation!
But why, the person she was looking for seemed to have disappeared, without a trace. Could it be that because of his own rebirth, he actually affected the trajectory of others, but in this life, it is clear that they have never even met each other!
But time could not be delayed any longer, and she had to return to the sect as soon as possible to meet the sect Xiaobi.
........................
In the bamboo forest on the outskirts of Liuxian Town.
"Lord, Tao Linghua has left Liuxian Town, should we ...... Just catch it and search for souls!"
"No, she has too many secrets, and there is a Jin Dan master behind her, don't act rashly first. ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
........................
At that time, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the square in the center of the city, and even the surrounding streets were crowded with people.
Until noon, when the hearts of the people who had been scorched by the scorching sun were impetuous, suddenly an order came from all directions: "Everyone is silent, now everyone between the ages of six and twenty will automatically stand on the right side of the square, and the rest of those who do not meet the conditions will quickly disperse." ”
After finishing speaking, the crowd immediately had a tendency to slowly separate, but because there were too many people, some of them couldn't move for a while, and some parents who brought their children were even more mixed in and were reluctant to leave.
"Now those who meet the age requirements are allowed to go out of the city from the north gate and climb Zhaoyao Mountain, and they are not allowed to have their families follow them all the way, and they are not allowed to ride horses in a car, and they must walk to the Fuyao platform with their feet!
At this time, everyone hula and cheered towards the north city gate, all wanting to rush to the front to reach the Fuyao platform. Tao Zi and the four of them did not fight, and only when the flow of people around them was not so crowded did they move towards the north city gate.
Walking on foot was not much of a difficulty for the four people who walked from the south to the north, and the four of them advanced at a uniform speed all the way, without fighting or grabbing, but they actually walked from the end of the team to the middle and upper reaches.
Crying children can be seen everywhere along the way, some of them are too hard to walk, and some of them want to take advantage of the immortals' inattention, secretly ride horses or be carried by others, and they are disqualified.
The swaggering mountain is high and steep, the more you go up, the fewer people there are, and it is not until the moon is in the middle of the sky that Tao Zi and the four of them arrive at their destination - Fuyao Terrace.
At this time, the group finally saw the true body of the immortal, and when they arrived at the Fuyao platform, there were young disciples wearing white Taoist robes to guide the new candidates, and Tao Zi and the four of them were led to the two tents.
But the four gods were tired and could no longer appreciate the posture of the immortals, so they each stopped and did not mention it.
........................
On the second day, the hour of the hour. The eight major sects officially began to accept disciples.
It should be said that it is the nine major sects, because there are nine high platforms erected on the wide swagger platform, corresponding to the nine sects, but I didn't expect Tianyin Temple to come, this is a situation that has not been seen in the past.
These nine are Tianshu Palace, Hexu Sect, Yuxian Gate, Hehuan Sect, Danding Gate, Beast Control Sect, Tianxin Valley, Tianyin Temple, and Xuantian Sword Sect.
Everyone in the square was excited, and there was no end to the noise for a while.
"Quiet, now that the soulfinders of each sect are ready, you can choose to line up at the souling platform of the Zhongyi sect to test. Remember, once you have chosen a sect, you must not modify it. This voice was the voice in the city yesterday, and I saw him wearing a white and black-trimmed Taoist robe, with a solemn face, and he was standing on the high platform of the Tianshu Palace to which he belonged at this time.
"Which one do we choose?" Mantou couldn't help but ask Tao Zi, and the other two also looked at Tao Zi when they heard this.
Tao Zi: ......
"These nine major sects, among which Tianyin Temple is a Buddhist cultivation sect, Xianyu Gate accented attack, Danding Gate and Beast Control Sect can also be distinguished from the name, Tianxin Valley is a female cultivator, and only women can practice, Xuantian Sword Sect is a sect based on sword cultivation, and the Hehuan Sect is also good and evil, advocating ...... It advocates going with the heart and double cultivation, while the remaining Tianshu Palace and Hexu Sect are more comprehensive. ”
"We won't mention whether we have a spiritual root for the time being, but choosing a sect is also a big deal, you all have to think about it carefully, and this is also responsible for yourself. After popularizing the knowledge of the sect, Tao Zi couldn't help but remind the three of them again.
"I ...... I want to choose Tianxin Valley or Immortal Feather Gate, I want to be an elegant fairy out of the dust!" Zhang Yingying thought for a long time, and finally looked at everyone worriedly.
"Sister Zi, what about Sister Azi, I will choose whichever one you choose?" Yue Lin said almost without thinking.
"Me too!" Si Yi was even more categorical. The more the round eyes rolled and rolled, hehe, sure enough!
"......Wait! Then so am I!" Zhang Yingying said in a low voice, it seemed that it was not so important which sect she went to compared to separating from the other three.
"Okay! I know, I'm more inclined to a comprehensive sect, after all, I don't know what I'm good at in the future, if I go to a comprehensive sect, there should always be a chance to adjust. Now that everyone has made their choice, she is no longer ambiguous.
"So I'm more inclined to Tianshu Palace and Hexu Sect, Hexu Sect's clothes seem to be more elegant, in line with the fantasy of the Yingying Fairy, so why don't we choose Hexu Sect?" After speaking, she looked at the other three with bright eyes.
Three: ......
Why didn't you find out that it was Tao Zi like this?
In fact, if there was no Tao Linghua, in fact, she would have preferred to go to Tianshu Palace, but since she came out of Liuxian Town and had hatred for the Tao family, she would definitely not be able to choose Tianshu Palace anymore, lest she have a bad reputation for killing her fellow disciples in the future. Of course, none of this can be told to the three of them, and the result is just like that.
There were not many people queuing up in front of the Hexu Sect's spiritual platform, and Tao Zi and the four of them didn't take their turn until the afternoon.
The first one to go up was Zhang Yingying, she worriedly put her hand on a gossip disc, I am afraid that there are thousands of people who have tested it before, but in the end, there are only a few dozen people, will there be themselves in this?
"Eleven bone age, earth, fire and wood three spirit roots, earth fifty, fire thirty, wood twenty, stand in the third row. The deacon in charge of the test said to Zhang Yingying. And Zhang Yingying was already too excited to speak at this time, she really had a fairy fate in her spiritual roots, and she could be a beautiful fairy in the future! While thinking about it, she excitedly went to the end of the third row to stand.
The second is Si Yi, he calmly put his hand on the Ouiji disk, and after a while, a purple cylinder rose on the Ouiji disk, and for a while, everyone only felt that the thunder above their heads flashed and the thunder roared!
"Lei Linggen, purity ninety!"
The deacons on the spiritual platform of the Hexu Sect were already speechless with excitement! Several other deacons on the spiritual platform looked over one after another, but they didn't expect that this secular world could produce a seedling with such a high purity or mutated thunder spirit root, but this seedling chose the Hexu Sect, and the rest of the deacons were inevitably a little sour.
Then there was Yue Lin, before he had been holding Tao Zi's hand, and then Tao Zi had no way to push him, so he stood on the stage. I saw him trembling and put his hand down, and soon two pillars of light lit up.
"Hey, the bone age is eight, the wood is fifty, the fire is fifty, it's a rare warm fire spirit root!
Yue Lin grinned, judging from the deacon's reaction, he should be good, in fact, he doesn't care what kind of spiritual root he is, as long as he has a spiritual root and doesn't separate from everyone!
Finally, Tao Zi, she took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the stage.
