Chapter 7 The Path of Inquiry

finally survived until the next day, fortunately Wei Ming also brought some dry food, otherwise it would be enough for Ji Xiao to drink a pot for so long.

During this time, thousands of people participated in the test, but unfortunately the avenue was ruthless, most of them were directly brushed down, and there was not one person who could really detect the spiritual root, and in the end, there were only more than four hundred people left.

During this period, there were also a few amazing and glamorous geniuses who appeared, either with a single spirit root, or with a special physique, they were all sent directly to the sect, and they didn't even have to participate in the next assessment, which made Wei Ming and the others envious.

Among them, there was even a genius of the Earth Spirit Root, which made those elders fight for a while, and finally was accepted as a disciple by Liu Wuchou, who was carrying a long sword.

"Listen, everybody, those who pass the test will follow me to the next location, and those who don't pass the test will be allowed to stay in the mountains for one day, and after that day everyone will leave. ”

The monk surnamed Mo nodded at the monk surnamed Chen, who immediately took the four hundred and fifty-six people who had passed the test to the Lotus Flower Sect Peak Peak.

"Wei Ming, what is the next assessment of the heart path?" Ji Xiao asked on the way.

"It is said that the path of asking the heart is a test of whether people have the great determination to cultivate immortals, after all, the path of cultivating truth is very lonely, sometimes in order to rush the level and even have to retreat for several years, if there is no great perseverance to persevere, even if the cultivation is useless, there will be no achievements in life!"

"......I see," Ji Xiao nodded, not delving into it, he believed that he must have such great perseverance, and his father said the same when he taught him martial arts, it is impossible to succeed without perseverance!

But Ji Xiao persevered, regardless of the wind and sun, he just persevered and finally succeeded, so Ji Xiao was not worried about this assessment.

"I heard that there is more to the path of asking the heart, there are other strange effects, don't you know?"

Behind Wei Ming, a green-clothed girl with a ponytail interjected when she heard this.

"Strange effect?" Ji Xiao turned his head and asked, the woman in green was named Yingluo, and she chatted with Wei Ming and Ji Xiao very quickly, and the three of them quickly became friends.

"Well, I heard that the path of asking the heart is something that every disciple of the Lotus Flower Sect will experience, and everyone has different experiences, and I don't know the specifics. Yingluo said with big eyes, and the two dimples looked very cute.

"Different encounters?" Ji Xiao was thoughtful, a little more curious about the path of inquiry.

After a while, everyone came to a valley under the leadership of Uncle Chen, the valley was full of fog, and it was impossible to see the road ahead, and the only place that could be seen clearly was paved with purple bricks and stones, and these purple stones alone looked very precious.

"Chen Feng of Beichen Academy paid a visit to Elder Wuyin and asked Elder Wuyin to open the path of inquiry for the new disciples. Chen Feng stood outside the valley and saluted inward, it seems that this valley that cannot see the inside clearly is where the road of conscience is.

"Come in......"

An extremely old voice came from the valley, and then a huge door appeared in front of the valley, and the gate slowly opened, Chen Feng saw this and waved his hand to signal the people behind him to enter.

Although the people in front were afraid, they also mustered up the courage to enter the gate, Ji Xiao and the three of them also entered in the crowd, the gate was very huge, and more than four hundred people soon all disappeared into the fog, and the gate was immediately closed, and Chen Feng outside sat down on the side when he saw this, and fell into meditation.

In the valley, Ji Xiao walked forward blankly, the fog was too big, as soon as he entered Ji Xiao, he was separated from the others, except for Ji Xiao's own footsteps, the sound of falling needles could be heard, and the silence was a little abnormal.

An hour later, Ji Xiao, who was already at the limit, finally saw a figure, Ji Xiao walked towards the figure excitedly, the more he walked, the thinner the fog became, and when he arrived at the figure, he could already see the things around him, a stone table, two stone benches, a tea set on the table, and a rickety old man was sitting on the stone bench looking at Ji Xiao.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea!" said the old man, touching his white beard, and grinning.

"Thank you ......"

Ji Xiao felt that the old man was looking at him, and quickly lowered his head, and sat down nervously, the old man saw Ji Xiao's reaction, smiled again, poured Ji Xiao a cup of tea, and didn't care about Ji Xiao, picked up the teacup by himself, and tasted it with a look of enjoyment.

"Little guy, what's your name?" the old man asked while drinking tea while glancing at Ji Xiao.

"Back to my predecessors, my name is Ji Xiao. ”

Ji Xiao replied respectfully, as for drinking tea, he didn't dare, Ji Xiao secretly looked at the old man, and found that although he looked old, he was full of energy, looking like a fairy, even if Ji Xiao was stupid, he knew that he had met a master, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Ji Xiao ...... Hehe, little one, what are you doing here?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Go back to your predecessors, in order to participate in the assessment, enter the Lotus Flower Sect. ”

"No, you're lying to me......"

"The seniors laughed, how dare I lie to the seniors, besides, isn't this the place for the assessment, ask the heart?" Ji Xiao felt a chill hit him, and his heart was in his throat.

"This is indeed a place of inquiry, and it is indeed a place for assessment, but you are not here for the assessment! Little one, do you think what I said is right?" the old man laughed unhurriedly.

"Senior...... I ......"

"You don't have to speak, I know what you're going to say, just remember my words, everyone who can come here has their own stories, I'm not a senior, just a person who loves to listen to stories, you will come here again in the future, tell me your story when the time comes, hehe." ”

"Who the hell is the senior......

"Didn't you say it, an old man who loves to listen to stories, little guy, send you a piece of advice, don't be too persistent, cultivators are obsessed with adding to their bodies, it's not good, it's not good......"

"Senior, I remember!" Ji Xiao was silent, then smiled and bowed his hand to the old man.

"No! you don't have ......"

“......”

"Forget it, I'm just giving you a piece of advice, the first time we meet, there's nothing to give you, stretch out your hand. ”

The old man smiled bitterly, Ji Xiao stretched out his right hand when he heard this, he didn't understand what the old man meant, the old man stretched out a hand and put it on Ji Xiao's hand, his eyes closed, and then Ji Xiao felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if something was rolling, Ji Xiao sighed unconsciously, and almost fainted in pain.

"Alright. ”

The old man smiled slightly, let go of his hand, Ji Xiao's pain disappeared, Rao is Ji Xiao's concentration was also covered in cold sweat, he kept panting, and looked at the old man in horror, the old man didn't seem to care about Ji Xiao's eyes, and continued to pick up the teacup and taste tea

"What did you do to me?"

"Don't get excited, I just took out something for you, it's not bad for you, but you can endure the pain of tearing your soul, it's not easy......" The old man looked at Ji Xiao with deep meaning.

"Got something?"

"Hmmm......"

"What the hell have you done? Who are you?" Ji Xiao couldn't sit still anymore when he heard these four words, so he stood up and asked, but Ji Xiao stood up violently, felt a burst of dizziness, and almost stumbled!

"Don't worry, you'll soon find out what I picked up for you, and who I am...... I'll tell you the next time we meet. Okay, you can go out......" The old man put down the teacup and said lightly, before Ji Xiao could speak, he only felt a large fog drifting in, and the old man disappeared in front of Ji Xiao's eyes.

"What the hell is ...... Who?"

Ji Xiao recalled what the old man said just now, the old man seemed to be able to really see through his own thoughts, why did he know that he had obsessions and would not let go easily......

But what's even more strange is that he said that he came here for another purpose, but he didn't know what the purpose was, but he didn't look like nonsense, the most terrible thing was the thing that was taken out, Ji Xiao still had lingering palpitations about that kind of pain, it was really strange, and he said that he would come again, why was he so sure?

"It must be an old monster with advanced cultivation, so let's stay away from here in the future!"

Ji Xiao rubbed his head, lifted his feet and continued to walk forward, this time it was easy to get out of the fog, seeing the standing gate, Ji Xiao's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was really confused about what had just happened.

I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't want to, Ji Xiao raised his feet and walked out, and when he got outside, Ji Xiao found that it seemed that everyone had come out, and he was the last.

"Ji Xiao, why did you only come out now, we have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Wei Ming and Yingluo saw Ji Xiao appear, and hurriedly walked over to greet him, and the others, including Chen Feng, also looked at Ji Xiao.

"Uh...... Maybe I'm lost, anyway, I walked for a long time before I came out!" Being stared at by so many people made Ji Xiao very uncomfortable, and immediately said nonsense.

"Has everyone arrived?" Chen Feng glanced at Ji Xiao deeply and asked in a loud voice.

"Yes!" replied in unison.

"The first fifty who came out, you failed, and returned the way you came. Chen Feng said lightly.

"Why?"

"Why should we go back?"

"I don't want it, I don't want it!"

“......”

The first fifty people to come out were still in high spirits at first, thinking that they were ahead of the others, but who knew that now they had obtained such a result, many people asked questions, and even a few couldn't stand such a gap, so they cried directly.

Chen Feng frowned, and directly swung his sword and slashed, shocking the troubled people, only then did they understand that this was the Lianhua Sect, and they couldn't get any benefit from making trouble here, and they returned the same way one by one in frustration, so far they had no chance with the immortal road.

"As for the rest, congratulations on becoming the registered disciples of my Lianhua Sect, you can go straight up the mountain along this road to the Deacon Hall, and arrive at the Deacon Hall to receive the identity jade plate, so that you will officially enter my Lianhua Sect, and someone in the Deacon Hall will guide you, go!"

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he flew away directly, and the rest of the people heard that they had become registered disciples of the Lotus Sect, and they were all very happy, and they couldn't wait to follow the path pointed out by Chen Feng to the deacon's hall.

Ji Xiao, Wei Ming, and Yingluo also followed everyone to go together, and Yingluo was also full of emotion, thinking that she was very reluctant to leave the mortal world from now on.
