After seeing the means of flying for the disciples of the Guidao Sect, Zhang Fan also longed in his heart that he could join the Guidao Sect like them, and that he could have all kinds of means of flying to the heavens and the earth, and live a chic and happy life like an immortal.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, hearing this old man say this, Zhang Fan's heart sank to the bottom.

Glancing at the other children in the hall with a gloomy face, Zhang Fan lowered his head and walked out of the hall.

Coming to the outside of the palace, Zhang Fan looked at the crowd gathered in the square and the white clouds floating in the valley, and felt a sense of loss in his heart, although he had been mentally prepared before, Zhang Fan was still extremely disappointed at the moment.

"Yes, if ordinary people like us can become immortals, then immortals are still immortals. Zhang Fan said with a smile.

The previous expectations and excitement have been swept away, Zhang Fan is now just waiting for everyone to finish the test, go to Jinma City to find his father, leave this place earlier, every time he stays, his heart yearns for the Returning Dao Sect will be more, and he doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

When it was almost noon, Zhang Fan and his group had already finished testing, and the person who led the team came in the morning, glanced at Zhang Fan and said, "Let's go, follow me down the mountain." ”

The middle-aged man took Zhang Fan and walked down the mountain, and Zhang Fan walked at the front of the team, behind the middle-aged man.

Unlike the elated atmosphere when they came, when they came down the mountain, these children were all depressed and listless, and obviously they were not selected, which was not a small blow to everyone.

Zhang Fan had no intention of enjoying the scenery in the mountains anymore, so he followed the young man down the mountain with great interest. The middle-aged man who led the team seemed to have long been accustomed to such things, and walked in front of the team without saying a word, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

Just as the team was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, the middle-aged man who led the team suddenly stopped.

Zhang Fan looked forward and saw that on the opposite side of the team, an old man wearing a robe and carrying a bamboo basket was walking from the opposite side.

When he saw this old man, the middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head and said, "See Master Wang!"

The old man's robe was dirty, and it seemed that he had not been washed for a long time. There are no shoes on his feet, and he is slippery, and the most peculiar thing is the bamboo in the old man's hand.

The bamboo basket contained a fist-sized red toad, and the red slime secreted from the red toad's body was like red blood, which made people look at it with a shocking feeling.

Zhang Fan looked at the red toad in the old man's bamboo with some surprise, it was so big Zhang Fan had never seen a red toad, Zhang Fan looked at the old man with some curiosity.

The old man stopped, and his eyes were also looking at Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan was a little frightened by the old man's sunken eyes, and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the old man again.

The old man's eyes were deep, his eyes swept over the team, and he said to the middle-aged man: "Hehe, there seem to be a lot of people who came to the test today."

"Yes, yes, yes... There were a lot of people who came to test in the past two days. The middle-aged man seemed to be a little afraid of the old man, and his tone was a little uncomfortable.

As soon as he said a few words, the middle-aged man wanted to leave here, bowed to Master Wang and said, "Master Wang, if you have nothing to do, then I will leave first." ”

But just as the middle-aged man was about to leave, Master Wang suddenly said: "Slow, it's inconvenient for me to do alchemy alone these days, so let the two of me take care of it."

Master Wang said, and didn't wait for the middle-aged man to speak, and with a wave of his dry hand, he grabbed the three children behind the middle-aged man to his side, and Zhang Fan was also one of them.

Zhang Fan and these children had no power to resist at all, so they could only be caught by the old man uncontrollably.

"Ah, Master Wang, don't embarrass me, I'll have to hand them over to Deacon Sun to take back later. There are quite a few people in the back, so you can go find something else. ”

The middle-aged man has a hard time saying at the moment, if he changes his usual life, Zhang Fan and they will be taken away by Master Wang, anyway, they are just a few children brought from the world. But these children were all brought by Deacon Sun's inner disciple, and if these children were missing two, the middle-aged man would definitely be punished by that Deacon Sun, which was why the middle-aged man spoke out to stop them.

Master Wang turned his head, his sunken eyes staring straight at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was stared at and turned pale and lowered his head.

Master Wang wanted to have a seizure, but when he thought that this was in the sect, he turned to look at Zhang Fan and the three of them, and his face was slightly gentler and said, "I am short of two alchemy boys now, if you are willing, I can accept you as a disciple, are you willing?"

As soon as the people standing behind Zhang Fan and them heard what Master Wang said, they immediately looked at Zhang Fan and the three of them with envious eyes.

Most of these children who came to participate in the selection had some understanding of the cultivation of the truth, and in their opinion, even if they were not able to cultivate the truth, it was good to have a master of the cultivation.

Zhang Fan stood behind Master Wang, when he was caught by Master Wang before, Zhang Fan looked at Master Wang and the middle-aged man as if they were arguing about something, and now when he suddenly heard this person named Master Wang say that he could accept himself as an alchemy boy, Zhang Fan couldn't react for a while.

Zhang Fan wanted to ask Master Wang what an alchemy boy was, but the other two children standing next to Zhang Fan rushed to say, "I am willing, I am willing."

Looking at the envious and eager eyes of his companions around him, Zhang Fan also hurriedly followed and said, "I am also willing." ”

Zhang Fan was afraid that if it was too late, the opportunity would be robbed by others.

"Do you see it, they are all willing, why do you still want to stop it?" At the end, Master Wang said with a gloomy face, almost in a threatening tone.

Of course, this threat can only be felt by middle-aged people.

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Fan and them, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Master Wang's gloomy face, he held back again.

Although the middle-aged man is only an outer disciple, he has heard some things about the inner disciples, and the so-called alchemy boy of Master Wang is actually a name, to put it bluntly, he wants to take a few people away.

Before this, there were many children who came to the test and were taken away by him in the name of the alchemy boy, and there were no less than ten people before and after, but in the end, these people disappeared inexplicably and never appeared again.

Coupled with the fact that this Master Wang was secretive, some people became suspicious, but since the sect did not care about these things, it was difficult for others to say anything.

"Since they want it, it's their willingness".

After hearing Zhang Fan and them, the middle-aged man shook his head, and then took the remaining children and continued to walk down the mountain, leaving only Zhang Fan and the three of them to stay here.

"Since you all want to be my disciples, then follow me. After speaking, Master Wang turned around and walked up the mountain.

Zhang Fan looked at the two children standing next to him, these two people didn't know each other, the three of them, I look at you, you look at me, and finally turned around and followed Master Wang and walked towards the mountain.

When passing a mountain path, Master Wang went around, this path was no different from the usual mountain road, but there were no bluestone steps, Zhang Fan and the three of them followed behind Master Wang, and turned left and right along the mountain path.

After going around the mountain road for a long time, the dense forest in front of him suddenly opened up, Zhang Fan looked up, and it turned out that the path had come to an end, and a small valley appeared in front of him.

Except for this entrance, the rest of the small valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are several thatched houses in the valley, and a small stream flows through the front of the thatched houses, and then flows out from the mountain pass where Zhang Fan and the others are.

Master Wang coughed, the door of a thatched hut was opened, and a young man who looked a little sickly, probably in his twenties, walked out like a puppet.

When this young man looked at Zhang Fan and them, Zhang Fan was also looking at this young man, Zhang Fan only felt that this young man's eyes were blank, his eyes were dull, and he looked a little dull.

Master Wang also ignored the young man standing next to him, but turned to look at Zhang Fan and the three of them, without saying a word.

Zhang Fan finally saw the face of Master Wang up close at this moment, his eyes were deeply sunken and wrinkled like orange peels, and his chin was high and provish.

The most terrifying thing is that there are four or five tumors on his face, like some kind of pus.

Zhang Fan was shocked to see it, and in the end, Zhang Fan lowered his head, not daring to look at Master Wang anymore, so he lowered his head and stood in front of Master Wang.

Master Wang's gaze swept all over the three of them before he spoke: "I don't care where you come from, I tell you, being my apprentice is very simple, that is, what I say, you have to do what you do, and there are no rules and regulations beyond that. ”

Zhang Fan and the three of them glanced at each other, and said in unison, "Meet the master." ”

Satisfied with the performance of the three of them, Master Wang pointed to the young man and said, "This is your senior brother, he was born dumb and can't speak, you will live here in the future, he will take care of you."

The young man glanced at the three of them with a blank face, there was no color in his eyes, he was blank, and he was not a normal person at all.

Although Zhang Fan felt that this person was a little strange, he didn't want to ask anything when he first arrived.

"Well, from now on you are my apprentices, and you will live here. Come back to me tomorrow if you have any questions. ”

Master Wang seemed to have something important, and after saying this, he didn't care about Zhang Fan and them, and walked towards the thatched house next to the deep pool with the bamboo tree.

The process was surprisingly easy, Master Wang didn't even ask the names of the three people, and accepted Zhang Fan and them as apprentices.

After Master Wang left, the dumb man took Zhang Fan and the others to the door of an empty room, and the dumb man pointed to the inside of the house, which means that you will live here in the future.

The house looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time, except for a few wooden beds and a table, and there was a faint musty smell, Zhang Fan walked to the window and opened the window for ventilation.

In the evening, after the mute brought the food, he brought a few more bedding, and Zhang Fan stayed here.
