Chapter XIII Beginning of the General Assembly

Three days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for everyone to wait for the recruitment conference, on this day, no one would sleep in bed, and the laziest disciples on weekdays also got up from the bed early today and rushed to the scene of the conference.

Sun Hao was no exception, the sky was still bright, so he went out with a package on his back and full of arms, his eyes were not tired at all, and he was full of fighting spirit. It's just that when he passed by the courtyard gate of some disciples, he saw some disciples who were wrapped in gauze or on crutches. They were all disciples who were injured in the big battle of Li Fatzi a few days ago, and they knew that they were not qualified to participate in the conference, so they had to watch everyone go to the competition with a gloomy face, and they were sad. Sun Hao couldn't help but shake his head secretly, most of these people were used as gunmen by others, so they lost their qualifications. He reminded himself in his heart that he must keep his eyes open and not let the tragedy of these people repeat itself on him.

When he arrived at the conference site, the conference had not officially begun, and a group of miscellaneous disciples gathered together in twos and threes, discussing in a whisper. There were a few disciples dressed in gray clothes from the outer gate standing around, seemingly maintaining order. Sun Hao looked for a long time before he saw Bai Gongzi and the other three huddle in an unobtrusive corner, after seeing him, Bai Gongzi beckoned in a low-key manner, Sun Hao tightened the package behind his back and walked towards the three.

Before he arrived, he heard Ma Zhenkun's enthusiastic voice: "Why did Senior Brother Sun come so late, we have been waiting for you for a long time." "It made everyone look this way.

Sun Hao hurriedly made a 'quiet' gesture, and whispered to a few people: "I've kept a few people waiting, I'm a little late, I'm sorry." ”

Bai Gongzi said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late, we're in a hurry, it's still early, it's estimated that it will start in a while, it's good if you come, let's discuss the battle plan for a while." The other two also smiled and said yes, only Gao Chan had a cold face, as if Sun Hao owed him a lot of money.

Bai Gongzi saw it in his eyes, and a trace of pride flashed in his expression, but he agreed on the battle route with everyone. He didn't notice that Sun Hao and Gao Chan had secretly made eye contact a few times.

Just as a few people were discussing the plan, a group of people entered the venue with an arrogant smile and scolding, it was Li Fatzi and his group of friends. There were about thirty or forty people, all the way on a rampage, occupying the center of the field, and making a loud noise, causing everyone to frown.

Bai Gongzi also frowned, and whispered to a few people: "This fat man Li is a hard stubble, and his strength cannot be underestimated, although I have some friendship with him, but the stakes are very high, and he must not show mercy to his subordinates." If we have no choice but to do so, we should not easily get into a dispute with him. ”

A few people nodded yes, although this fat man Li is a little arrogant, but he has arrogant capital, and he has a dispute with him, I am afraid that it will be a ** annoyance.

At this time, the first rays of sunlight in the early morning have poured down from the cloud top in the distance, and the Jinniu Mountain is brilliant, as if it has really turned into a huge golden bull.

Everyone looked towards the sun, and saw a white light flying like an arrow off the string against the sun's rays. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of everyone.

I saw a flash of white light, a sword light flashed, and an old man with gray hair slowly landed on the high platform in the middle of the field, it was Elder Feng Dewei Feng, who was familiar to a miscellaneous disciple.

All the disciples hurriedly stood up, lowered their heads, and said in unison, "I'll see Elder Feng later." ”

Feng Dewei glanced at everyone with a serious face, and said with a righteous face: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy, and there is no need to be limited to the number of courtesies." ”

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Feng Dewei with excitement, but they didn't notice the deep disappointment in Feng Dewei's eyes, the speed of the sect's decline made this elder in the foundation building period have a deep sense of frustration. I think back then, when he was still a blue-haired boy, he entered Qizhumen, at that time, the door sent soldiers and strong horses, there were more than a dozen ancestors in the Jindan period alone, and there were more than a dozen ancestors in the back mountain, and the territory of Qizhumen was thousands of miles away. At that time, the disciples were all selected by thousands of people, both in terms of quality and quantity, which exceeded the current 100 times, and as a disciple of the Twin Spirit Roots, he still had to go through layers of selection before he could enter the inner gate.

But after that battle, the Yuanying Ancestor disappeared, and the Jindan Ancestor also lost a lot of casualties. In just a hundred years, the sect has declined to such a field, not only the area where disciples are recruited has been repeatedly reduced, but the quality of disciples has also dropped to a low point, a double spirit root makes the sect cherish like a treasure, and even have to select disciples among this group of miscellaneous fish, which is really a great irony.

The disciples naturally didn't know that in just a few breaths, Feng Dewei's thoughts jumped a few stages. Everyone still looked at Feng Dewei with a look of hope, hoping to start early.

Feng Dewei cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "I know what you all want, and I also know your ardent desire to enter the outer gate, but I tell you the truth, this recruitment conference is not a sect without a purpose. Maybe some well-informed disciples also know that our sect is fighting against some other sects at this time. So I made it clear here that all disciples who enter the outer sect must do their duty for the sect, and they all have the possibility of being sent to the battlefield. ”

"Also, this apprenticeship conference adopts a free-for-all method, and all the disciples who participate have the opportunity to win the elixir. Of course, snatching doesn't matter if it's life or death, anyone can also be in a different place and use it as a stepping stone for other disciples to ascend to the top. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the sect doesn't want to be so cruel, but in order to get you rookies used to the cruelty of the cultivation realm as soon as possible, the sect has to make this decision. ”

"But the sect doesn't force you to participate, and if there are disciples who don't want to participate, I won't force it. Now, I will give you half a pillar of incense, and after half a pillar of incense, whoever stays here will be considered a disciple who wants to participate by default, and when the time comes, it doesn't matter if you live or die. ”

After speaking, Feng Dewei sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and rested.

There was silence at the bottom, and hesitation was written on the faces of many people. Finally, someone couldn't resist the pressure, stood up and quietly slipped away. Some people take the lead, and there is an endless stream of followers, after all, no one wants to lose their good life here. In the blink of an eye, a small half of the people left, leaving about 200 people, still holding on.

The time for half a pillar of incense finally came, and the people who stayed behind breathed a long sigh of relief, and many people had three points of chagrin and seven points of hope on their faces, but now it is too late to regret it.

Sun Hao and his party also stayed, Sun Hao and a few people glanced at each other, and they all breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Although I was full of confidence when I came, I was still a little shaken under the pressure of the scene, but fortunately, several people persevered.

There are a lot of people missing from Fat Li, and the angry Fat Li scolded his mother, but he was so frightened by Feng Dewei's eyes that he didn't dare to speak.

Feng Dewei saw that no one was leaving, so he slowly stood up and nodded slightly, these disciples are a little less qualified, but their temperament is still okay, and their efforts will not be in vain.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Very good, I didn't expect so many people to stay, it seems that you are not hopeless." But the more people who stay, the more competition there will be, and I hope you will get your wish. ”

"Okay, without further ado, I'll tell you about the rules. Feng Dewei said solemnly, "The venue for this competition is in the back mountain, and the area from the foot of the mountain to the alchemy room is your battlefield. The sect took out a total of seventy Qi Gathering Pills that were suitable for your Qi Gathering Pill as the main pill to be distributed. Divided into fourteen parts in total, distributed in fourteen places in the back mountain, these elixirs may be hung on trees or buried in the grass, and whoever can find them is the luck of whom. In addition, there are also ten Harmony Pills, which can ensure that any disciple with a spiritual root can advance to the Qi Condensation Period. These pills are divided into ten parts in total, and they are also hidden in the back mountain. These two pills are served in different bottles on the sides, the Qi Gathering Pill is in a large bottle, and the Qi Pill is in a small bottle, so don't be mistaken. ”

Feng Dewei paused, looked at the fiery eyes of the disciples, and continued: "Finally, there is a Broad Pulse Pill, this pill is the most important thing, and it is placed in the Dan furnace outside the alchemy room. It is necessary for me to remind you not to take this pill lightly, its medicinal properties are mainly used to expand the muscles and veins of disciples in the Qi cultivation period. If there is no aura protection in the body, the medicinal properties of this pill are enough to break the tendons and veins, and it is also the best pill distributed this time. Do you remember them all?"

The disciples hurriedly said yes, and Feng Dewei nodded with satisfaction. continued: "This elixir is a lottery head that I added myself, and whoever can get this elixir, I will give him a surprise, and you must not expect this surprise." After a while, I will summon the Spirit Eagle to come, and send you randomly into several large areas of the back mountain, after entering the back mountain, I will not ask about everything that happens inside, no matter how you toss inside, even if there is only one person left, I will not care. But from the beginning of entering the mountain until the sunrise tomorrow, no one is allowed to flee from the back mountain without permission, and those who violate the rules of the gate will be dealt with! I will send ten outer disciples to guard a few exits, so don't think that you can escape, and don't think about slipping down from behind the mountain, there are thousands of abysses, and I have never seen anyone who does not know how to resist the sword can go down from anywhere intact. Therefore, there is only one way for you to overturn the people who dare to grab the pill from you, and live until sunrise tomorrow, do you all understand? ”

Everyone said in unison: "Disciple, remember. ”

"Good. Feng Dewei flicked his fingers, and four huge spirit eagles flew from a distance and landed in front of everyone, kicking up a puff of dust, and it was not the first time that all the disciples had seen the spirit eagle, and they did not cause a commotion. Feng Dewei asked the expressionless outer disciples to command everyone to climb on the back of the eagle. The place on the eagle's back is spacious, one spirit eagle is enough to carry forty or fifty people, and four spirit eagles can carry everyone away at one time.

It's just that those disciples are randomly ordering people, regardless of the friendliness of everyone, and whoever points will sit on the spirit eagle controlled by that disciple. There are less than twenty people left in Li Fatzi's people, but they are divided in this way, and there are only seven or eight people who can follow him, making Li Fatzi full of purple.

Sun Hao and the others were also scattered, Gao Chan and Bai Gongzi and Zhang Hanliang got on one spirit eagle, but he and Ma Zhenkun sat on the other. Bai Gongzi had to whisper to the two to meet early, so as not to lose alone.

Before I knew it, it was noon, and everyone was also on the back of the eagle, and under the drive of the eagle disciples, several spirit eagles flew up and flew towards the originally agreed place. Feng Dewei looked at the flying spirit eagle, and couldn't help but sigh, the sect is in a recession, I really can't wait to be promoted immediately, so as to get rid of such drudgery. He is not the kind of person who is sad and sentimental, put away his mood, take off the sword, and go to the head to return to his life.

Besides, Bai Gongzi and the others were carried to the back mountain by the Spirit Eagle and unloaded in an open space, and the outer disciple flew away with the Spirit Eagle, leaving a group of disciples who looked at each other. I don't know who reacted first, turned around and ran into the woods, everyone suddenly realized, scattered, and the three of Bai Gongzi also picked a direction and entered the jungle. This is not the time to do it, only the birth of the pill is the time for everyone to make a move.

The back mountains of Jinniu Mountain are dense jungles, towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere, it is said that there are many poisonous snakes and beasts, people really have to be careful when walking in it. Bai Gongzi carefully picked a small snake with a wooden stick, turned to Gao Chan and Zhang Hanliang and said: "The two of you must be careful, we must not only carefully search for the elixir, but also be careful of poisonous snakes and beasts, and we must be careful of the people we meet, the two of you must be cautious and cautious." I proposed, let's go to the northeast first, I noticed that Ma Zhenkun and Sun Hao are going in that direction, as long as we go that way, we will definitely meet them. When the time comes, the chances of a search are greater. ”

Gao Chan just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Hanliang. Zhang Hanliang said coldly with disdain: "I think it's just the three of us, one of those two people is as timid as a mouse, and the other is silly and stupid, and I'm afraid that we will be dragged to death with them." ”

Bai Gongzi's brows furrowed, and he turned around and said, "Senior Brother Zhang's words are a bit excessive, no matter how you say it, it is a good alliance formed together, so it's a bit inappropriate to say such things at this time." ”

"I'm a straightforward person, what to say, although it is a little unpleasant, but for the sake of everyone, we have passed all the way, not to mention that it will take two hours, we are walking with our backs to the alchemy room, and we have missed the best time to search, and I am afraid that there is no chance to find the pill, and then we can only take the risk of snatching it from others. I don't care, but you have no power to restrain the chicken, I'm afraid you're going to suffer. ”

Bai Gongzidao's voice was also a little cold: "In this way, Senior Brother Zhang doesn't trust my strength anymore." Zhang Hanliang stopped talking, but he acquiesced, and the angry Bai Gongzi's lips only trembled.

Gao Chan squinted at the two of them, and he smiled and said to the two: "Don't be angry first, and listen to me." ”

Seeing that Bai Gongzi and Zhang Hanliang both turned their heads, he continued: "We are a collective, since we said that we would help each other, we naturally can't leave others alone. But what Senior Brother Zhang said is not unreasonable, and it is not appropriate to miss the best time. ”

He pursed his lips, and seeing that both of them were a little impatient, he said: "But we don't know where most of the pills are hidden now, and the only one we know is probably a lot of people competing for it, and it may not have our share." So I propose that we head northeast, not just for the sake of hurrying, but also to search for some places along the way, and maybe if we are lucky, we will find some. If we can meet Sun Hao and the others, even if we can't meet them, it won't delay us in finding the pill, what do the two senior brothers think. ”

Zhang Hanliang didn't know what to say, so he had to nod. Bai Gongzi also soothed his brows and said with a smile: "It's still Senior Brother Gao's thoughtfulness." ”

The three of them agreed on the same opinion, and they stopped arguing, and after a short rest, they went all the way to the northeast from the sparse place of Congman.
