Chapter 4: Level 1
Chonglouzong is located in the Central Plains of Shu, built on Pang Tianfeng, and is a well-known holy place for cultivating immortals in Shu and its affiliated small countries.
Legend has it that the patriarch of the Chonglou Sect is extraordinary, up to the heavens, down to the nine shades.
Regardless of whether it is a false rumor or not to confuse the public, but the Chonglou Sect has stood in Shu for 400 years without falling, and it is also a strange story.
On the official road with lush trees, a carriage ran rapidly, surrounded by dozens of elite horse warriors, with long knives hanging from their waists and iron armor on their faces, which was the most famous iron horse army in the north of Shu.
In the carriage, Ye Huan looked at the scenery going backwards through the window, and his heart was suddenly in his heart.
"Nephew Huan, we have been on a three-day journey, today is the last day for the Chonglou Sect to recruit disciples, we should be able to catch up. Also, this Chonglou Sect is far from being comparable to a secular small sect, remember to lower your posture when you go, as long as you have a little bit of immortal cultivation qualifications, uncle, I can also send you in!"
Liu Yandong said on the side, a hint of determination flashed across his expression.
"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, that immortal is hateful, presumably there is no need to deceive me at this point. ”
Ye Huan came back to his senses, a ruthless color appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said.
Now Ye Huan is most worried about the overdraft life essence in Dao Zheng's mouth, which will be discovered by the people of Chonglou Sect, for a person who seems to have quite potential, but actually can't squander it for a few years, Chonglou Sect probably won't want it.
"I hope so. Liu Yandong smiled slightly and said.
As he spoke, the carriage slowed down, and there was a burst of shouting from the hawkers.
Liu Yandong opened the curtain and took a look, a touch of joy jumped on his face, and said, "It's almost there, this is the foot of Pang Tianfeng." ”
Ye Huan also looked through the car window, the foot of Pang Tianfeng was very prosperous, because it was the time for the Chonglou Sect to accept new disciples, and there were countless people in Shu Kingdom, including the surrounding large and small countries, who came here, and it was crowded for a while, and it was also a good time to do business.
Looking up along the mountain rock, the towering Pang Tianfeng was cut off by a pavilion in the air, the auspicious clouds were rolling on the mountain range, and there were cranes flying and shuttling in it, Ye Huan was happy, this heavy building sect did have a bit of immortal meaning.
"Look! that's where the Chonglou Sect opened the altar and accepted disciples!"
Liu Yandong opened the front curtain of the carriage and pointed to a high platform at the end of the bazaar.
On the high platform, several young Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes and hanging swords on their backs had their hands behind their backs, and many people in the audience looked up, some came to learn from the teacher, and some were watching the scene.
An hourglass hung in the air, fine pieces of sand flowing from top to bottom.
The carriage approached, Ye Huan and Liu Yandong hurried to the top platform, the Iron Horse Army followed, and everyone in the market looked sideways, thinking that it was the heir of a high-ranking official and noble who came to apprentice to the Immortal Sect.
"Fortunately, it's time, nephew Huan, look at that hourglass, it's time, when the sand of the hourglass is all gone, today's enrollment will be over. ”
Liu Yandong pulled Ye Huan, looked at the mysterious hourglass in the air with hot eyes, and explained to him as he walked.
Having seen the shocking battle between Wutian and Daozheng, Ye Huan also had a certain understanding of these immortal methods, he just stared at the hourglass quietly, thinking that it must have been pulled by some Dao method to make it hang out of thin air.
It happened that at the same time as Ye Huan and the others approached, the sand in the hourglass was lost.
"The time has come, and now those who want to take the entrance exam will go to the high platform. ”
When a Chonglou Sect disciple saw that the hourglass was finished, he didn't procrastinate, and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, many people jumped onto the high platform, including the children of rich families dressed in bright clothes, there are also many simple and unpretentious ordinary people, swordsmen and swordsmen with weapons hanging from their waists, and even naughty children who are less than ten years old.
Seeing this, Ye Huan arched his hand to Liu Yandong and said: "My nephew is deeply grateful to my uncle for his great kindness, I can't repay it, wait for me Ye Huan to break into the fame in the future, and I will return to the deserted city to share my uncle's worries and solve problems." ”
"What are you talking about! With my relationship with your father, he is gone, and you are my own son! I will help you as a matter of course! Go quickly! Uncle Mo will be relieved that you can live well!" Liu Yandong hurriedly waved his hand, he patted Ye Huan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Huan, this time, if you go, if you are elected, you must remember to keep a low profile, don't be in the limelight, if you can't choose, you will immediately find me in the deserted city, and I will take you to other immortal sects to try!"
Ye Huan smiled, nodded, and stepped onto the high platform.
In the blink of an eye, the high platform was full of all kinds of people, and several Chonglou Sect disciples nodded, pointing to the other side of the high platform, that is, the end of the foot of the mountain, and then going further was to climb Pang Tianfeng.
"The first level of the exam, climbing Pang Tianfeng, there is still an hour before it gets dark, and the top thirty candidates who have arrived at the Chonglou Sect within the time will pass the first level. ”
A disciple stood around his waist and said loudly.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the candidates said.
"Okay, now the exam begins. ”
As he spoke, the disciple took off the hourglass hanging in the air, turned his head, and put it back into the air at will, and the sand in the hourglass began to flow again.
Seeing this, the people who took the exam also stopped talking and rushed to the end of the mountain.
"This level is a test of speed and endurance. Ye Huan thought silently in his heart: "Sure enough, whether it is practicing martial arts or cultivating immortals, the first level is to look at the strength of physical fitness. ”
In the flow of people, Ye Huan held his breath and ran to the leading group of people.
"According to Daozheng's words, my physical fitness should be pretty good now, and I obviously feel that I have a lot of strength in the past few days, and my whole body is full of strength. ”
After experiencing the innate Dao bone feeding, Ye Huan's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, most ordinary people have been left behind by him, and only some people who have practiced martial arts can compare with him.
At this time, you can see the advantages of the rich family, except for a very few sons and brothers who were hollowed out by the wine, far behind, not to mention, most of the children of the rich family have learned martial arts since childhood, and even some people seem to use body techniques, their posture is smart, and they feel that they don't have much strength when running, but they are fast and steady.
Ye Huan was running and observing, and in the blink of an eye, he surpassed a few people.
From a congenital point of view, he now has an advantage, but in the day after tomorrow, he spends most of his time reading at home, and he is obviously far behind this group of martial arts practitioners in the carving of martial arts.
About halfway through the journey, many people began to lose their breath, and the momentum of speed slowly slowed down.
Looking around, there were four people in front of Ye Huan, and the first one turned out to be a woman, who was in her twenties, with excellent demeanor, smart steps, and unabated speed, which was daunting.
"This woman is richly dressed, and there is a mystery in her footwork, and she must not be a simple character. ”
Ye Huan thought to himself, except for the woman, the other three were also very fast, some crooked old trees, and the boulders of Pound Mountain were all deftly avoided by them, and they all looked like they had been practicing martial arts for many years.
Ye Huan's speed also slowed down for three or five minutes, and then he took another breath, snorted, and his speed increased again.
He wanted to catch up with the people in front of him and try to see how far he was from the body of the person who practiced martial arts.
At the same time, in front of the Chonglou Sect, several disciples at the foot of the original mountain were already waiting here.
They stood side by side, and there was actually a mirror-like water shadow in the air, and the exam scene on the mountain road where you chased me appeared in the mirror, and several disciples looked indifferent, observing the people in the exam.
"Uncle Chen ordered us to pay attention to Zheng Wanyan of Qi State, this woman is really a strange root, and she is a piece of material for cultivating immortals. ”
A disciple said with a smile, looking at the woman in the mirror with a little fiery in his eyes.
"It's really amazing, I haven't seen such a person a few days ago! I'm afraid that this year's freshman will be a woman who wins the championship. ”
Everyone also laughed, and there was a bit of fun in their eyebrows.
"Let you come to the invigilator, that's why you're here to talk about cool things?"
An abrupt voice sounded behind them, and several disciples instantly felt a chill down their backs, hurriedly turned around, looked at the man behind them, and made a series of compilations, saying, "Senior brother!"
The man did not wear the Taoist robe of the Chonglou Sect, but he was wearing an armor robe, with a slender and strong figure, a face like a peak, and a cold gaze.
"This class of freshmen has to recruit a total of 200 disciples, breaking the rules of the sect in previous years, although it is a decision of the sect in order to expand the scale, but it is necessary to prevent foreign sects and foreign sects from coming to fish in troubled waters and lurking in our Chonglou Sect. ”
The man didn't smile, stared at a few apprehensive disciples, and said, "So your task is very heavy, I started from the first day, do you want me to repeat it a third time?"
"Yes, yes, we understand! We didn't dare to relax our vigilance for a moment, and please rest assured, senior brother!"
Several disciples made a series of compilations and explained.
"Press?"
At this time, the man's face changed and his eyes narrowed.
