The hooves of donkeys make a crisp and rhythmic sound as they step on the rocky path.

With the rhythmic shaking of the carriage, Zhang Di has already calmed down, he is not an indecisive person, he has cried and cried, and then he should consider how to pass the assessment of the immortal master and stay on Qingyue Mountain smoothly, only in this way can he realize his parents' wishes and not be laughed at by the villagers.

At this time, he hugged his knees, obediently shrunk in the corner, quietly looked at Shi Jian and Han Baobao in the carriage, and began to think about how much hope he had of passing.

The second uncle explained before that there are two criteria for the selection of teenagers by the Qingyue Immortal Master:

A requirement to have a spiritual root, that is, the qualification to cultivate immortals, it is said that there are less than one hundred people with this qualification, if anyone really detects a spiritual root, then one step to the sky, from then on can also cultivate, become an immortal master. Such a teenager will be selected to enter the inner gate and be trained as a future immortal master.

Zhang Di didn't think he would have such good luck, I heard that people with spiritual roots have blessed faces, such as the Yin Tang is shining, or the earlobes are shoulder-length, or there are keels in the back of the head, etc., all of them are ancestors who have accumulated great virtues, and God will open his eyes to let a person have spiritual roots.

But his first seal hall is not bright, the second earlobe is not big, and there is no keel behind his head, which is really ordinary and can't be more ordinary. As for the ancestors, it was a standard peasant family, and they had been dealing with Tu Ke Lao all their lives, so where did they go to accumulate virtue?

So Zhang Di completely dispelled the first possibility, and even the faces of Shi Jian and Han Baobao he looked at them repeatedly, but he didn't see anything special, it is estimated that the big guys are all collecting gongs and drums on the stage - no play!

Another requirement is that the young man needs to be strong, have good character, and have a skill, such as iron-making, farming, handicrafts, and so on. Such a teenager will be selected to enter the outer gate and become a refiner.

Zhang Di had farmed with his father before, and he had also learned stone carving for a while, but he was worried that his physique was too weak and he would be looked down upon by the immortal master.

"Both of them are much stronger than me, what should I do?" Zhang Di frowned and looked at the two opposite, they combined were three or four Zhang Dizhuang, I was afraid that if any one of them stretched out his arm casually, Zhang Di would have to fly out.

When the little fat man Han Baobao saw him looking over, he smiled at him, looking like he was not afraid of heaven and earth, while Shi Jian snorted coldly, and then closed his eyes and crossed his knees to meditate and practice his kung fu.

Before getting on the bus, the old village chief solemnly warned the three of them not to bully each other, otherwise they would be disqualified from going up the mountain. So even if both sides don't like each other, they just stare at each other and fight each other, and they don't quarrel and act.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhang Di's chest suddenly aroused a sense of pride, and he clenched his fists and said secretly: "What are you afraid of if you are stronger than me? The big ploughing oxen in the field are strong enough, and they are not led by the nose to plough the fields? They must not be compared to them! I can read and write, but neither of them can read, this is my greatest advantage, and I will definitely be chosen!"

......

......

Qingyue Mountain is thousands of feet high, with a radius of 100 miles, and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

Everything about Qingyue Immortal Master was just rumors, and even if the villagers were so close, no one had ever seen them with their own eyes, let alone what they looked like...... Whether it is several feet tall, spits lotus flowers in his mouth, or has three heads and six arms, and his face is strange, no one knows.

...... As the donkey cart penetrated into the dense fog of Qingyue Mountain, along a looming sheep intestine path, staggering and gradually rising, the three of them couldn't help but become more and more nervous, their palms sweating, and their hearts beating faster.

Zhang Di tried his best to suppress the tension in his heart, sat quietly, and together with Shi Jian and Han Baobao, through the gap in the carriage, curiously looked at the wonders of Qingyue Mountain, only to see that there were pines and cypresses, waterfalls and flowing springs everywhere under the thick fog, and occasionally animals such as wild deer and white rabbits flashed quickly, making this fairy mountain full of a mysterious and indescribable atmosphere.

"This ...... This is the true face of Qingyue Mountain, right?" Zhang Di had never entered Qingyue Mountain, and at this time, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, thinking that when he saw Qingyue Immortal Master later, he must behave well and must not panic.

When the donkey cart finally stopped, the old village chief lifted the curtain of the carriage and led them off the carriage one by one.

I saw a huge square that was thousands of feet long, and it was densely packed with donkey carts, carriages, and teenagers, and there were more than 100 carts and thousands of teenagers in a cursory sweep.

"Why are there so many people?" Zhang Di was shocked.

He suddenly realized one thing, it seems that the selection is not limited to his own village, listening to the accent, these teenagers seem to be from the seventeen northern countries. With so many people participating in the competition, it is natural to be admitted on the basis of merit, but I am afraid of ...... I'm afraid I don't have much chance of winning.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, his palms were numb, and he was a little panicked for a while.

His eyes swept away in a hurry, and he saw that many young people were richly dressed and behaved outstandingly, and they were actually the children of some noble families, and they also came to participate in this Qingyue faction selection.

In contrast, compared to others, Zhang Di's poor children are like a chicken and a phoenix, and the three of them suddenly looked at each other, and even Shi Jian and Han Baobao, who were originally a little confident, were stunned.

The children of the aristocratic families have a good family education, usually pay attention to the practice of the six arts, are physically strong, have an elegant character, and are not the six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics much more elegant and extensive than the farming and iron-making skills of their poor children?

Zhang Di suddenly felt bitter in his mouth, and his previous self-reliance on reading and literacy seemed to be mostly useless.

Seeing that the three of them were a little stupid, the old village chief was in a hurry, slapped everyone on the back of the head, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you panicking about? Give me courage, behave well, even if you lose, you won't be ashamed!"

Zhang Di, Shi Jian, and Han Baobao jumped all over, and they all suddenly became energetic.

"You two, don't hold me back, do you hear?" Shi Jian waved his fist and said disdainfully at Han Baobao and Zhang Di.

Han Baobao grinned: "Brother Jian, don't worry, brother, I will definitely not hold back, but the stone is ......" said and glanced at Zhang Di with his eyes.

"I won't hold back! Don't bother you two!" Zhang Di said loudly, his thin chest straightened, and a wave of arrogance suddenly rose in his chest, and there were sparks flashing in his eyes. Don't look at his weak body, but the arrogance in his heart is only more than the two of them combined. Hmph! Who's afraid of whom?

Seeing that the children's spirits were up, the old village chief nodded with satisfaction, "I still have to tell me, I don't care how you fight in the village, but when you go outside, you still fight in the nest, and you don't have to make people laugh! Hmph, I want to know which of you is dragging your feet, look at me if I don't tell your father, discount the legs of that little rabbit cub!"

The three of them couldn't help but laugh, and they all thought, "How can a little rabbit cub have dog legs?"

Zhang Di's mind suddenly became active, and he kept quietly looking at the rich children around him, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: "Strange, strange! I've never heard that Qingyue Immortal Master wants to choose disciples before, why is there so many people in this selection?" This is inconsistent with what the second uncle said that there are only a hundred places!"

Vaguely, he felt that something was wrong, as if Qingyue Immortal Master had some unknown inside story in the matter of choosing disciples.

Before he could figure it out, he heard several cranes chirping in the air, "Hiccup—hiccup—"

Thousands of people in the square were taken aback, and they all looked up, and saw dozens of huge white cranes piercing out of the dense fog of Qingyue Mountain, and on each white crane sat on the back of an immortal master with a wide robe and big sleeves and fairy wind bones.

Everyone realized that this was the arrival of the Qingyue Immortal Master, and immediately made a hula sound, and the people in the square, regardless of their wealth, knelt down and bowed to the Immortal Master above their heads.

Zhang Di was squeezed by the crowd, knelt down involuntarily, and didn't dare to raise his head, just quietly aimed at it from the corner of his eye, although he had imagined the scene of Qingyue Immortal Master appearing countless times, but at this time, he was still stunned when he saw it: "This ...... This is the Immortal Master, right? Okay...... It's magnificent!"

The flock of white cranes did not land, flew to the top of everyone's heads more than ten zhang and flapped their wings and circled, the strong wind made everyone's eyes difficult to open, their bodies were pressed to the ground, and the donkeys and horses pulling the cart were also trembling, not daring to scream.

Just when everyone was frightened in their hearts and lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, they heard an immortal master say loudly: "You don't need to panic, the Qingyue Immortal Sect's selection ceremony for disciples will begin here, and the rest of the people will stay here, and the young people who participated in the selection can just go up the mountain with the immortal crane." ”

Before Zhang Di could react, he felt a huge suction force descending from the top of his head, and his body had already risen into the air, and together with the surrounding teenagers, he flew to the back of the crane at once, thinking that it was caused by the immortal master casting a spell.

He looked around in horror, this crane was extremely wide on its back, eight or nine zhang wide, plus its wings spread, about a dozen zhang, it was simply a giant crane, dozens of teenagers stood on it, and it was not very crowded.

"Sit tight. The blue-robed immortal master riding on the crane neck in front of him said coldly, and lifted the reins in his hand.

The reins were attached to the crane's head, and when it was lifted, the crane raised its head as big as a calf, with a long pointed beak, and let out a high-pitched long, cry: "Hiccup—"

The wings flapped suddenly, and Zhang Di and the other young man couldn't help but rush back, and the whole crane body broke through the clouds and flew towards the top of the mountain.

The young men screamed, thinking that they were going to fall down and die this time, but they were tightened, but they were suppressed in place by an invisible force, and they did not break away from the galloping crane's back, and it was obvious that it was the immortal master who cast a spell to protect them.

Han Baobao was so frightened that his body trembled, Shi Jian was a little better, and the two of them lost their previous self-confidence, and they only cared about holding on to the crane's back.

Zhang Di's face turned pale, he held back without saying a word, his hands tightly grasped the thick and hard feathers on the crane's back, and there was only one thought in his heart, that is, to behave well and fight for his family!

The crane flock through the clouds and mist, the speed is amazingly fast, and I don't know how long it flew out, just when Zhang Di was dizzy, he finally circled and landed, and stopped in front of a magnificent gatehouse under the shade of green mountains and green waters.

Zhang Di glanced at it, although he couldn't recognize the three big characters, but he could guess that it must be the "Qingyue faction".

"Alright, here we go. The head immortal master waved the sleeves of his robe.

The young men flew up in the clouds, fell from the crane's back to the ground, and were sent into the gatehouse by an invisible force, until they entered a magnificent hall before stopping.

Countless teenagers are flocking here......

When no one came in, a solemn old man walked to the front of the main hall, waved his big sleeves, and said loudly: "The selection of Qingyue Immortal Sect disciples has officially begun, and it is divided into three assessments. ”

"Spiritual Root Test ......"

"Inspection ......"

"Inspection ......"

......

The sound was like a bell, constantly echoing in the silent hall, adding to a solemn atmosphere, making all the teenagers' expressions tense at once.

Zhang Di's heart tightened, and he understood that this first level was to check whether he had a spiritual root, if he had a spiritual root, he would naturally be able to cultivate immortals, and in the future, he would be like these immortal masters who rode cranes, and he had great magical powers.

With the thought of what happened in his heart, he raised his little face and looked at the inner temple, hoping that if he could really test the spiritual root, it would be great!

The other teenagers had the same idea as him, and began to line up excitedly and nervously, and under the guidance of the leading immortal master, they entered through the arch in front of the main hall one by one.
