Crunch......

One night, Xiao Ning was shrouded in that wonderful feeling, and it was not until dawn that he pushed open the dilapidated firewood door.

Although he didn't sleep much all night, Xiao Ning didn't have the slightest intention of being tired, on the contrary, his spirit was very good.

Xiao Ning had just opened the door, and suddenly felt a freshness, and the smell of grass and trees filled the entire valley with a faint fruity fragrance.

The firewood house where he lives is located on a higher ground in the valley, and the air circulation is very good, and it is the closest to nature in the whole valley.

Xiao Ning had never felt anything special before, but after a night of experience, he could already detect the slightest aura in the air.

Everything in this valley seems to be intimately connected with this aura, the grass and trees on the mountains, the wild fruits on the trees, and the slowly flowing stream...... Everything seems to have a constant trajectory!

"There is a mixture of things, and they are born from nature. Lonely, independent, and unchanging, she can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. The big is gone, the past is far away, and the far is reversed. Therefore, the road is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. ”

A passage suddenly appeared in Xiao Ning's mind, and the first half of this paragraph Xiao Ning could understand from the beginning, that is, he was giving a definition of the Tao. However, in the second half, Xiao Ning has always had doubts, especially the last sentence "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is natural!"

However, the moment he opened the firewood door, Xiao Ning's heart had a little more understanding.

The reason why people can survive is that they take the earth as their own law, and the mountains, rivers, ponds, grass and trees on the earth are withered and prosperous, and the grains are new to maturity, which provides the conditions for human beings to survive.

The earth is governed by the heavens, so all things grow and wither. There are days and moons, and there are four times, and all things on the earth are alive according to the four seasons of the sky, so the earth is thriving according to the law of heaven.

Heaven takes the Tao as the law, the avenue is mysterious, elusive, so the law of the sky changes in four seasons, and the clouds and rains change endlessly.

The Tao is natural, but it is more subtle, and there are traces of the Great Dao hidden in this sentence.

At this moment, Xiao Ning finally had a clue. All the cultivators are struggling to find the traces of the Tao, but they don't know where to start, but Xiao Ning obtained the Tao Te Ching and the Diamond Sutra by chance.

The information in the Tao Te Ching pointed out the traces of the Great Dao for him, although it was only a trace, Xiao Ning did not need to try his luck aimlessly like others, the mystery of the Great Dao was hidden in all things in nature.

The Tao has always been there, although it is difficult but it is not impossible to comprehend, but the original heart is easy to be dusted, how many people have lost their original heart in the process of cultivation, resulting in the final death of the Dao, with the help of the Diamond Sutra, Xiao Ning will definitely be able to go further on his own path.

Therefore, the role of the Diamond Sutra for Xiao Ning is no less than that of the Tao Te Ching, and sticking to the heart is not just a sentence, but also an endless practice.

Airplanes......

The scenery in front of Xiao Ning's eyes is constantly changing, the mountain is no longer a mountain, the water is no longer water, and there are too many mysteries between the mountains and rivers.

Click......

A crisp sound suddenly came from Xiao Ning's body, and the momentum on his body instantly became stronger at this moment, and the whole person seemed to have become a little more profound.

"This feeling is so good!" Xiao Ning also felt the self-change, and his heart was excited.

"It's also time to find the deacon of the outer gate, with the current state, it should be no problem to become a real outer disciple!" Putting away his excitement, Xiao Ning had his own plans.

He had been waiting for this day for too long, he had lived in the Five Elements Sect for ten years, he had seen many people change from miscellaneous disciples to real outer disciples, he had been ridiculed by many people over the years, and now he was going to let everyone prove that he was not a waste in their eyes.

......

Xiao Ning was the same as usual, but his pace became more calm, and the place he was going to was the Deacon Hall of the Outer Gate.

"Brother Zhao, I really want to congratulate you this time, I didn't expect that in just three years, you will remove the impurities in your body to such a point, after this test, you can become a real outer disciple, which can also rank in the top ten among all the outer sect miscellaneous disciples!" A voice drilled into Xiao Ning's ears, and from another road, five people were rushing towards the main road where Xiao Ning was.

Xiao Ning looked at it from a distance, he knew all these people, all of them were miscellaneous disciples in the Five Elements Sect, and the one led by him was the Zhao Fei who beat him yesterday.

"Hmm, you still dare to come out?" At the same time that Xiao Ning found Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei also discovered him, and then raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Ning with bad intentions.

Xiao Ning's brows furrowed, and he didn't pay attention to Zhao Fei, but quickened his pace and hurried towards the deacon's hall.

Although Xiao Ning is not afraid of Zhao Fei now, he doesn't want to provoke him, he has more important things to do now. Besides, the current Zhao Fei is not worth mentioning at all in his eyes, and after comprehending some of the mysteries of the Diamond Sutra and the Tao Te Ching, his state of mind has become much more mature. Although he was still thirteen years old, his experience was higher than that of ordinary people who had cultivated for decades. After all, there were many other things in the extra information that suddenly came to his mind, and although these things were trivial, they also raised his horizons a lot.

"This kid is running pretty fast!" Zhao Fei showed a disdainful smile on his face, obviously not giving up looking for trouble because of Xiao Ning's departure.

"Brother Zhao, isn't this kid Xiao Ning who was beaten by you yesterday? Why doesn't there seem to be any injury on his body now, is it light?" beside Zhao Fei, a miscellaneous disciple in a cloth robe was a little puzzled.

"This kid had already taken the Tempered Tendon Pill when he was beaten by me yesterday, maybe it was the reason for the Tempered Tendon Pill!" Zhao Fei guessed as he recalled what had happened yesterday.

"Lin Hu, don't worry about it, do you think that this person who has been a miscellaneous disciple in the Five Elements Sect for ten years still has some way to quickly heal his injuries!"

"Leave him alone, when I pass the test of a formal disciple, I will humiliate this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky!" Zhao Fei didn't think much about it, and strode towards the deacon's hall.

......

"Everyone who wants to take the official disciple test will line up to fill in their names!" Outside the deacon's hall, Xiao Ning saw a line of more than twenty people.

At the front of the line, there was an old man with gray hair. The old man is registering everyone who wants to take the test.

Among the outer gates of the Five Elements Gate, after each distribution of Fu Dan, there will be some people who will reach the qualification to become official outer disciples, so after the Fu Dan is distributed every month, this deacon hall will conduct a test.

"Xiao Ning!" It didn't take long for more than 20 people to register, and soon it was Xiao Ning's turn, and Xiao Ning was also very happy and wrote his name on a name book.

"Hmm, are you Xiao Ning, are you sure you want to take the test too?" After the gray-haired old man saw the word "Xiao Ning", his eyelids, which had always seemed to have not opened, suddenly picked out, and he seemed to be a little afraid to confirm.

"That's right, Lord Vice-Deacon, I'm going to take this test!" Xiao Ning was sure.

"All right, let's go in and wait!" said the deacon, and said no more.

Xiao Ning didn't say much, and stepped into the deacon's hall.

"Isn't this Xiao Ning the once-in-a-millennium waste? Why did he come to this deacon's hall to participate in the test......?"

Xiao Ning's figure had not yet fully entered the deacon's hall when he heard someone talking behind him, and his words were full of contempt and disbelief.

"Ahem...... If you want to test it, fill it out quickly, or I'll fuck off!" the gray-haired deputy deacon glared at him suddenly, and pointed out.

was lightly shouted by the deputy deacon, and the people in the queue at the back all shrank their necks, honestly continued to fill in their names, and did not dare to say another word.

The entire registration process lasted until noon. After the test registration is over, there are already nearly 100 people who have come to participate in the test, but fortunately, this deacon hall is big enough to not worry about not being able to arrange so many people.

"Lord Deacon, everyone who signed up for the test this time is here!" In the deacon's hall, the gray-haired deputy deacon handed a book to a middle-aged man on the seat in the middle of the deacon's hall.

There are a total of twenty-four deacons in the deacon hall outside the Five Elements Gate, who are in charge of different things, and one of them, the chief deacon, is the backbone of the entire deacon hall.

Below the Archdeacon, there are also five archdeacons who assist the Archdeacon. Eighteen deacons are further down and are in charge of specific tasks.

Of course, it is impossible for these deacons to stay in the deacon's hall, they are now in various spheres of influence in the Five Elements Gate, busy for the Five Elements Gate. Therefore, in this deacon's hall, there is only one archdeacon and two archdeacons, and there are only three deputy deacons.

"Now that we're all here, let's get started!" The archdeacon didn't say much, and went straight to the point.

"Lord Archdeacon has spoken, now start the test, you all kinds of take off your coats and stick your bodies to the Immortal Stone!" the three deputy deacons walked over to a boulder and began to roll call everyone to test.

"The first one, Qian Xiaofan!" said the gray-haired deputy deacon's lips lightly.

Soon, a young man of medium stature and somewhat dark skin took off his coat and stood in front of the big head.

Airplanes......

As soon as the body of this young man called Qian Xiaofan was attached to the boulder, the boulder instantly emitted a faint light and wrapped his body. Soon, the light on Qian Xiaofan's body disappeared, but the Yingxian Stone did not disperse immediately.

"Qian Xiaofan's spirit body is in the third level, and he meets the qualifications to become an official disciple of the outer sect, and he is allowed to be promoted to an ordinary outer disciple!" announced the deputy deacon in charge of the record.

The so-called spiritual fit is the degree of compatibility between the body and the spiritual power, which is divided into seven levels, the higher the level, the stronger the body's perception of spiritual power, and the better the qualifications.

The young man named Qian Xiaofan suddenly felt relieved when he heard the result announced by the deputy deacon.

"This Qian Xiaofan is really good, he has only been in our Five Elements Sect for more than three years, and he has even reached the standard of becoming an ordinary disciple of the outer sect!" Many people who came to take the test began to whisper.
