The big ship walked on the Tongtian River for seven days and seven nights.

On the eighth day, it stopped at a port. This is the source of Tongtian River. Looking north, there are towering mountains. Tongtian River originates from these mountains.

The river channel is only a hundred feet wide, and the depth is less than two feet tall. If it weren't for the special structure of this big ship, it wouldn't have been able to sail here.

Zhang Ying can almost be said to be the last customer on the ship. There is a small county town next to the port. Zhang Ying did not enter the city, but turned around and went into the vast mountains.

Leaving here, you will leave the Ming Empire, then cross the mountains and head towards the northeast, and walk more than 10,000 miles to reach the Songling Mountains.

Walking into the vast mountain, one man and one tiger were moving forward, and more than a dozen ghosts were walking behind with loads. On the way, they met woodcutters and hunters entering the mountain, and they all avoided them, and they were so scared when they saw the team.

However, the more you move deeper into the mountains, the fewer such people will be. The road gradually changes from paths that people walk on to paths that animals walk on. Fortunately, everyone is no ordinary person, and climbing mountains and wading on water is like walking on flat ground.

Zhang Ying didn't care so much. He was carrying forward in a straight line. On the way, he occasionally met monsters and ferocious beasts that were blind and eaten by Chichao as snacks.

After such a hurry, Zhang Ying finally returned to the boundary of the Songling Mountains after a month.

When he returned to his territory, Zhang Ying could fly freely, ride the Red Tide and fly vigorously. It took only one day to return to the location of Huju Temple.

After a few years of separation, the mountain still looks the same and has not changed at all. The mountain is still as green as green, and it is still so majestic.

Just as he was standing at the mountain gate and sighing, a familiar voice rang in his ear: "Are you... Junior Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Ying was happy when she heard this voice. When she turned around, she saw Senior Sister Mu stood not far away and looked at him in surprise.

"Hello, Senior Sister Mu!" Zhang Ying clasped her fists and said.

"It's really you! It's great! You're back!" Senior Sister Mu shouted in surprise, and rushed towards Zhang Ying in two steps. A small whirlwind rose at her feet, speeding up her speed. In just a blink of an eye, she threw herself into Zhang Ying's arms and hugged Zhang Ying.

"Huh? Junior brother, you have grown taller!" Mu Qingli, who had just reached Zhang Ying's chest, said in surprise.

"Is there any? I don't know." Zhang Ying smiled, and he really didn't feel it.

After lifting Senior Sister Mu upright, Zhang Ying asked curiously: "What are you doing here with Senior Sister?"

Mu Qingli pointed behind him and said, "It's time for the sect to recruit new disciples again. I'll take the preparatory disciples to walk the mountain road."

This is a repertoire program for preparing disciples. The disciples who have just been screened in the Seventeen Kingdoms will take them to the edge of the mountain and then ask them to walk on the mountain road. This mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the journey is long, which is a big test for those teenagers.

Every time he recruits new disciples, it is the work of the library. Elder Qu Ji has always been responsible for recruiting new disciples.

"You go back to report, I will wait for them here. I will go find you later!" Mu Qingli said to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying nodded and brought Chi Chao into the mountain gate. When she came back, she saw Senior Sister Mu. It was really good. Senior Sister Mu was still as innocent and simple as before.

He asked Yiwujiuqi to go to the examination room to register with the token to register himself, and Zhang Ying went to the library to visit his master.

After walking through the familiar building and entering the familiar courtyard, Zhang Ying saw Uncle Shi at a glance.

"Hello, Uncle Shi!"

"It's Zhang Ying! You're back." Uncle Shi was surprised for a moment, and then responded with a smile. He looked at Zhang Ying for a while, nodded and said, "No, it's changed a lot, and people are mature."

Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Is Master here?"

"I'm here! Come in."

At this time, Qu Ji's voice came, and the door of the room suddenly opened, obviously Qu Ji was a little impatient.

Zhang Ying hurriedly walked into the small building and met Master Qu Ji in the living room. He still looked like a little old man, majestic and kind.

"You're back." He looked at Zhang Ying up and down for a while, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The speed of cultivation is very fast. In just a few years, you're at the late stage of Qi training."

Zhang Ying bowed to Qu Ji, and then said, "If you don't walk around the world, you won't know the magnificence of the world. Your disciples have gained a lot in the past few years."

Qu Ji nodded, and the young disciple finally grew up a little. He said with emotion: "I walked out of the mountain gate with great ambitions back then. When I walked to Dongzhou of the Ming Empire, I fell into disputes because of unfair things. Now I think about it, it was that I was young and energetic and meddling in other people's business. That time I almost died in Dongzhou. If it weren't for the rescue of Ma Jia, I wouldn't have the life to talk to you here."

"It is the requirement of the sect's disciples who practice Qi for the fifth level. If they die outside, they are not lucky and have insufficient strength. But those who can come back alive are those whose minds have been tempered and their hearts are firm."

"Our disciples of Huju Temple should dare to take risks and take responsibility just like tigers." Qu Ji said seriously.

Speaking of this, Zhang Ying couldn't help but say, "That Senior Sister Mu..."

Qu Ji glared at Zhang Ying and said, "Can Mu Qingli compete with you? Her character is not suitable for walking out of Songling Mountain without any tempering."

Zhang Ying smiled embarrassedly. This is the difference between raising a son and raising a daughter. It seems that the master really raises Senior Sister Mu as his daughter. If the master did not speak, Senior Sister Mu would have been forced to go down the mountain to experience it.

"By the way, I have taken Mu Qingli as my apprentice. According to the time and cultivation of my subordinates, you should call her Junior Sister Mu." Qu Ji said lightly.

"Oh! But Master, how many senior brothers and sisters do I have?" Zhang Ying asked curiously.

"There are not many, you have seen them all. Your senior brother Ruiyang, your third senior brother Qi Feihu, and your junior sister Mu Qingli. As for the other disciples, they either died or disappeared." Qu Ji said.

After hearing this, Zhang Ying fell silent. She seemed to feel the atmosphere was a bit sluggish. Qu Ji said, "You have been wandering outside for so many years. Let me tell me about your experience."

So Zhang Ying was excited and began to tell Qu Ji about his experience of traveling abroad.

"South of Songling Mountain, there is a small town called Jinzhu City. The disciples just walked out of the wilderness and were curious about everything, so they entered this small town..."

"The monk from Jijiu Temple killed me in Huju Temple just because of a wine recipe. This is something I can't stand. So I joined forces with a local monk sect..."

"Disciples think it's not difficult to refine alchemy, and they can practice it with talisman making. After all, multiple crafts and multiple ways of wealth..."

"The ghost soldiers supported by the ghost energy cloud are really strong. Only two late-stage cultivators in the foundation building stage can deal with a ghost coach. This time, the disciples also gained a lot..."
