Chapter 1 The Ladder of the Tang Gate
The Tang Sect is one of the most prestigious sects in the rivers and lakes!
Tangmen martial arts has always been known to the world for its weird, magical, and powerful, Tangmen martial arts is broad and profound, and the six mysteries are complex and wonderful, and there are countless people who want to worship in the Tang Sect and practice to understand these mysteries!
Today is the time for the Tang Gate to open its doors and accept apprentices!
Su Yu got up early in the morning to sort out everything, adjusted his state and prepared to participate in the Tangmen assessment, today is a very important day for Su Yu!
Inside and outside Yuzhou City, there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and everyone has different looks, and these people are all rushing to the same place, that is, Tangjiabao south of Yuzhou City!
Tangjiabao is the place where the Tang Gate assessment is conducted, and it is also the base camp of the Tang Gate!
Su Yu also followed these streams of people, and saw a magnificent mountain peak in front of him from a distance, the entire mountain peak was towering into the clouds, the top of the mountain was submerged in the clouds, and the clouds and mist under the peaks were entangled, and several magnificent temples were faintly visible in the clouds and smoke!
On top of this mountain is the gate of the Tang Gate!
Only then did Su Yu really see the appearance of Tangmen Peak, ten days ago, Ye Han took him to climb quickly, and he didn't have time to see what Tangmen Peak looked like.
After a short time, Su Yu came to the foot of the mountain, and when he looked up, a zigzag stone step spread down from the peak, and a stone step extended from the foot of the mountain, exposed beyond the foot of the peak.
On the stone steps of about five zhang high, there is a big platform, a silver-gray archway made of unknown materials, standing in front, the big "Tang Gate" two words are engraved on it, this is the road to the Tang Gate!
Su Yu stepped on this stone step, walked up step by step, and after walking through dozens of stone steps, he finally stood in front of the archway!
After the archway is the place where the new disciples of the Tang Gate are assessed, the assessment of the new disciples of the Tang Gate will not be carried out directly in the door, but after the archway under the mountain gate, after passing the assessment of the Tang Gate, you can step into the real gate of the Tang Gate, which is called entering the mountain gate!
Under the Tang Gate archway, Ye Han's six people, who are the six ways of the Tang Gate, are lined up, guarding in front of the gate of the memorial arch, and four Tang disciples dressed in black and white costumes are registering the people who come to participate in the assessment.
Those who have not reached the bone age condition or have exceeded the bone age limit are not allowed to participate in the Tang Sect assessment, and these four disciples will issue a bamboo plaque to those who come to participate in the assessment, clearly writing their names, corresponding bone ages and numbers.
There is no bamboo number name can not cross the gate of the archway, to receive the bamboo number can only queue up to receive, if someone does not abide by the rules, through their own strength to threaten to cut in line, Tangmen Liudao will be merciless shot.
Moreover, the Six Dao of the Tang Sect should pay attention to everyone who comes to participate in the assessment, some people are sincere to the Tang Sect to learn martial arts and cultivate, but there is no shortage of people with some ill-intentioned intentions.
Whenever the Tang Sect recruits new disciples, other major sects will also take advantage of the situation to place some disciples to participate in the assessment of the new disciples of the Tang Sect, wanting to spy on the mysteries of the Tang Sect.
And the six people guarding here not to mention that they can find out the children sent by each sect, but they can also check out some clues, so they can pay attention to it.
The people who came to participate in the assessment all honestly lined up to receive the bamboo card, not daring to have the slightest transgression, the rules of the Tang Gate are very strict, no matter who comes, they still need to follow the rules of the Tang Gate.
In the past, some people relied on the forces in their own family not to follow the rules of the Tang Sect, and they were extremely arrogant in the assessment of new disciples, and forcibly cut into the queue, but the Tang Sect Liudao made a strong move, throwing this person out of the Tang Sect like a dead dog, and announced to the outside world that none of the children in this family would be accepted as disciples of the Tang Sect in the future!
This matter has been rumored in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I feel sincerely sad for that family, because of a child and sent the entire family into the blacklist of the Tang Sect, not only that, but even some other sects also intentionally or unintentionally suppressed this family after knowing this, and refused to recruit the children among them, and gradually, this family has declined from generation to generation.
From now on, no one would dare not follow the rules of the Tang Sect when the new disciples of the Tang Sect were assessed.
Su Yu came a little late, at this moment, there was already a long queue in front of the Tang Gate archway, the crowd in front of him was crowded, and he couldn't see the end, and after Su Yu, there were more people who came to participate in the assessment of the new disciples of the Tang Gate.
Soon, many people lined up behind Su Yu, waiting to receive the bamboo plaque and move forward.
"I must pass the Tang Sect assessment this time!"
"Come on, you've come to take the three assessments, if you only want to exceed the Tang Sect's required age to recruit new disciples this year, right?"
"Hmph, fifty steps and a hundred steps are just a hundred steps! If you can't pass this year, it's not much better!"
Behind Su Yu, two teenagers who looked a little older ridiculed each other, each with great expectations in their hearts.
Looking at such a battle, Su Yu couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue in his heart, how powerful is the Tang Sect, there are people who have not passed the assessment three times, and will continue to participate in the next year.
Or is it how difficult is the assessment of the Tang Sect or is this person's strength too poor? After failing to pass the test three times, Su Yu has no bottom in his heart.
After queuing for a long time, it was finally Su Yu's turn to receive the bamboo card.
"Name, bone age?"
The Tang Sect disciple who was in charge of distributing the bamboo plaques asked Su Yu indifferently.
"Su Yu, twelve!" replied Su Yu.
The disciple of the Tang Sect, who was in charge of distributing the bamboo plaques, quickly wrote down the information on a bamboo plaque, dried the ink on the bamboo plaque, and then handed it to Su Yu.
Su Yu received the bamboo plaque, with the number eighty-three written on the front and his name and twelve written on the reverse, Su Yu is twelve years old this year, so his bone age is twelve.
Holding the bamboo card, Su Yu officially walked under the archway, and the six roads of the Tang Gate were all guarded here.
"Su Yu, you have to come on!" Tang Xiaoyuan smiled sweetly at Su Yu and cheered for Su Yu.
"Come on, don't let us down. Xiao Ya also said to Su Yu.
Glancing up at Ye Han, Ye Han didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and seemed to encourage Su Yu as well.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to pass the assessment!" Su Yu didn't know where he got so much confidence, and said affirmatively.
Su Yu walked through the archway, stepped on the steps and continued to walk up, and finally came to the place where the formal assessment was to be made.
Entering the eye is a vast high platform, there are many flags with the word "Tang" erected around the high platform, there are ten small high platforms around the high platform, standing upright in the air, and there is a large stone platform behind the high platform to stand out, if you stand on the square stone platform, you can have a panoramic view of the entire assessment site.
There is a large open space around the high platform, and at this time, there are already many people on top of these open spaces, quietly waiting for the arrival of the assessment.
Su Yu also went straight to find a place to sit down, he didn't know when the assessment would start, and he didn't know how many people would come to participate in the assessment of the Tang Gate.
Calm down, Su Yu was still immersed in the test of potential pressure that he had just experienced, fortunately, he took the first step of inducing qi into his body, and the aura in his body has been nourishing his body these days, making his body much stronger than before, if it weren't for this reason, I'm afraid it would be a matter of whether he could pass the test just now.
Su Yu closed his eyes and unconsciously relaxed his whole body, he didn't notice that the silent aura in the dantian began to operate on its own and flowed through Su Yu's meridians, and the surrounding aura also merged into Su Yu's body, and the aura in the dantian was growing at a slow speed......
I don't know how long he was silent in this state, Su Yu was completely forgetful, until a loud gong sounded in his ears, Su Yu was startled in his heart, and opened his eyes suddenly.
Suddenly, I saw that all the people around the high platform were standing up, and at a glance, there were at least seven or eight hundred people!
These are all teenagers between the ages of ten and eighteen, and among these seven or eight hundred teenagers, there are only fifty places for them to compete for, and the chances of such elimination are not cruel.
"Bell!" another gong sounded, and from the stone steps on the mountain peak, dozens of Tang Sect disciples came down, guarding around the high platform.
Immediately afterwards, ten elders and a middle-aged man appeared on the high platform, their robes embroidered with the symbol of the Tang Gate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the moment when my Tang Sect once again opens the mountain to recruit new disciples, I must have been looking forward to it for a long time, I am Tang Xiong, the deputy head of the Tang Sect, I will preside over the assessment of the Tang Sect this time, I will watch some of you pass the assessment step by step, and finally become the new disciples of my Tang Sect!" The middle-aged man's loud voice sounded and said to everyone present.
"It turned out to be the deputy head of the Tang Sect who personally presided over the assessment, this is a famous figure in the rivers and lakes!"
"The deputy head is a rare figure in the rivers and lakes! Even if you don't pass this assessment, you can see it on a trip!"
Everyone was a little excited when they heard Tang Xiong's identity, but Su Yu didn't feel anything, he had already seen Tang Xiong, but he didn't know Tang Xiong's status in the rivers and lakes, so Su Yu was very calm.
"The Tang Sect assessment is the same as before, it is to test your talent and potential, only the last round is to show your strength, in the assessment, there will be ten elders to personally supervise, you had better not take chances, there is absolutely no cheating in the Tang Sect assessment, there is only your own potential and talent!" Tang Xiong's words echoed in everyone's ears, and a sense of tension filled the whole body.
"Is everyone clear?" Tang Xiong asked loudly.
"Clear!" Su Yu replied in unison with all the people who participated in the assessment.
Seven or eight hundred people sang in unison, mighty, echoing around the high platform, and immediately ignited the blood in their hearts!
"The first level of the Tang Gate Assessment: Tang Gate Ladder!" Tang Xiong's loud voice reached everyone's ears, making everyone's eyes light up!
The reputation of the Tang Gate Ladder in the rivers and lakes is not small, it is said that the Tang Gate Ladder is a wonder of the Tang Gate, which has survived since the beginning of the Tang Gate, and only the Tang Gate has a ladder in the entire rivers and lakes!
