The next day, Lei Gang woke up. It was already early in the morning, but he found Dao Tu already sitting cross-legged next to him. He was slightly startled, and then said in surprise: "Dao Tu, are you okay?"
Dao Tu opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Lei Gang, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, nodded and said: "Lei Gang, thank you."
A warm current flashed through Lei Gang's heart. This was the first time that Dao Tu called him by his name. Then, Lei Gang took out a piece of dry food from the shriveled baggage and said: "You are just fine. You are weak. Eat something quickly." , fill your stomach, today is the last day, we have to get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible!"
Dao Tu took the dry food from Lei Gang, then looked at the shriveled baggage behind Lei Gang, broke it in half, handed it to Lei Gang and said, "You should eat too. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to go up the mountain."
Lei Gang was stunned for a moment, grinned, and took the dry food from Dao Tu. The two looked at each other and smiled. Then, they finished eating quickly and moved forward again. What Lei Gang did made Dao Tu The worries in my heart disappeared and were replaced by tacit understanding and emotion.
Dao Tu, who had recovered, seemed to have become much stronger. His speed was not slow, and he seemed to have endless strength. Lei Gang was slightly surprised, but he did not ask more questions. Dao Tu was also surprised at this time, but After much deliberation, I attributed all of this to Lei Gang, and my good impression of Lei Gang rose again.
Finally, when noon was approaching, the two of them could already see the top of the mountain. They looked at each other and saw each other's excitement and excitement, and stepped harder towards the rugged mountain road.
At dusk, the two of them finally set foot on the top of Sword Cauldron Peak. What surprised the other two was that three teenagers had already reached the top of the mountain, sitting cross-legged there, with a lot of tiredness on their young faces. Except for the boy on the far left, the two eyes were staring brightly at the intersection. When they saw the figures of Lei Gang and Dao Tu, their eyes lit up at the same time, knowing that these two people were likely to be themselves in the future. ’s senior brothers.
Lei Gang and Dao Tu looked at the three teenagers, nodded slightly towards them, and then looked around and found that there was no other person. A trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, and then they imitated the three teenagers and sat there cross-legged.
"My name is Lei Gang, and his name is Dao Tu. What are the names of the three brothers?" Lei Gang sat down, looked at the three teenagers, and said with a grin.
The man sitting next to Lei Gang had eyes that were not suitable for his age. After looking at Lei Gang, he said lightly: "Dragon Walk!"
The young man with a gentle face in the middle glanced at Lei Gang and said slowly: "Lin Tian"
The young man at the far end, with a calm face and closed eyes, said: "Wugang!"
Lei Gang was not unhappy about the indifference of the three people. Instead, he sat there cross-legged. After looking at Dao Tu, he smiled and then looked towards the intersection, waiting for the next boy. Dao Tu glanced at him. The three young men had a slight look of displeasure in their eyes, as if they were dissatisfied with Lei Gang's indifferent attitude.
The sun had slowly set, and finally four figures appeared at the intersection. Lei Gang looked around and saw that it was the four teenagers, with a faint gleam in his eyes.
The four teenagers were slightly startled when they saw Lei Gang and Dao Tu, and there was more surprise in their eyes, especially when they saw Lei Gang. Then they looked at the other three teenagers, and then they vomited a sigh of relief. Sit down and regain your strength.
The sun has gradually set, and fiery red clouds appear on the edge of the sky.
Lei Gang felt a little anxious in his heart, and then his eyes flashed. A cold young man staggered from the intersection. He was gray-headed and tired. The cold boy swept around and looked at Lei Gang. After a while, he turned cold
He sat down and regained his strength.
Just when everyone thought no one was coming, a figure suddenly appeared again at the intersection, but this figure looked a little petite and tired.
Lei Gang looked around and was surprised to find that the last person was actually a girl. This girl was like a cold boy, with gray hair and a gray face, and she had no appearance at all. After the girl scanned the ten boys around her,
Sit down and regain your strength.
Just as everyone was recovering their strength, suddenly an ancient rhyme sounded in the air. Behind everyone, a majestic scene suddenly appeared.
The majestic gate made of a hundred-meter-tall boulder has three large Chinese characters "Jian Dingmen" engraved on the top. But behind the gate, at a glance, a broad avenue appears in everyone's sight. On both sides of the avenue,
But there is an open space of tens of thousands of square meters. On the open space, thousands of disciples wearing green clothes are sitting cross-legged on the ground, immersed in cultivation. Behind the open space, a large hall sits there with great pressure.
There are countless buildings on both sides, just like a palace. Behind the main hall are five giant peaks that are over 100 meters high. Lei Gang joins the sea of clouds on top of the giant peaks. There are many tall buildings vaguely, like a fairyland. Lei Gang saw it there.
Have you ever experienced such an ingenious scene? You were stuck there for a moment.
The sudden change made all the eleven teenagers open their mouths and stare blankly at the sudden appearance of the Sword Cauldron Gate. Even Wugang, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes with shock in his eyes.
light.
The five young men who were originally at the foot of the mountain walked out of the gate. The leading young man glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Lei Gang, with a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.
"Tell me your names!" the leading young man raised his eyebrows and shouted.
"Dragon Walk!"
"Wugang"
"Lin Tian"
"Knife Slaughter"
"Leigang"
"Chen Yun"
"Li Li"
"War Heaven"
"Stern"
"Luo Jin"
"Xu Mei" shouted the last time, it was that girl.
"Very good, the eleven of you have passed the examination of Jian Ding Sect, so most of you will become disciples of Jian Ding Sect." After the young man finished speaking, he stayed on Lei Gang's body for half a moment.
Immediately, his eyes became a little complicated and he said: "Lei Gang, although your physique is better than that of your peers and is even better, your qualifications are mediocre. Instead of practicing in Jiandingmen for several years, you have been immersed in the lowest level.
How about returning to the secular world and I, the Jianding Sect, will give you a thousand taels of gold so that you can enjoy all the glory and wealth?"
As if struck by five thunders, Lei Gang stood there blankly for an instant, looking at the young man with blank eyes. His mind was buzzing, as if he didn't believe what he heard. He had gone through so much trouble to get here from Lei Jian Village.
Sword Cauldron Sect, after all the hard work, passed the examination, but now he learned that he..., Lei Gang's eyes dimmed instantly, and there was a trace of despair. Did he have no fate with the Gang cultivator after all? Lei Gang couldn't help but wonder.
Thinking of the master, the master had said these words to himself before, but when he heard them again, Lei Gang's heart suddenly twitched a few times, secretly hating his unfair fate. Lei Gang felt weak all over and sat softly on the ground.
, his face turned blue, and his eyes were numb and dull as he looked at the young man.
A complicated look flashed in the young man's eyes, and he sighed.
Several teenagers around him cast mixed looks of pity, disdain, and even ridicule.
"Why? Didn't you just say below a few days ago that as long as you reach the top of the mountain, you can become a disciple of the Sword Cauldron Sect? Why do you want to go down the mountain now that Lei Gang has reached the top?" Dao Tu heard what the young man said.
After saying this, he stared at the young man angrily and shouted. The crisp voice echoed across the top of the mountain.
The cold young man, a stern and sinister young man, said coldly: "Don't you mean what you say?"
Being yelled at by his two junior brothers who would be his in the future, the young man obviously felt a little angry. His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were like sharp knives as he stared at Dao Tu and Yin Li and shouted coldly: "A few days ago, what I said was that you can reach the top of the mountain.
People who have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Sword Cauldron Sect, but they do not become disciples of the Sword Cauldron Sect once they reach the goal!!"
"You! You're cheating!" Dao Tu was not afraid of the young man's sharp eyes at all. He glared at the young man angrily, while Yin Li also had a cold look in his eyes.
"Jian Yun, let them all come in first!" The young man was about to shout coldly when a sound of vicissitudes of life came from the depths of Jian Ding Gate. Jian Yun opened his mouth, glanced at Lei Gang, and then glanced at the crowd and said:
"Follow me!"
Dao Tu helped Lei Gang, who was pale and exhausted, and slowly walked towards the gate of Jian Dingmen.
Hearing the voice coming from the main hall, Lei Gang felt a hint of hope, but his heart was still agitated, and his face was even more pale. Dao Tu couldn't bear to see it.
A group of sixteen people slowly walked toward the avenue, and many disciples in green clothes on both sides opened their eyes and looked at the eleven disciples. Their eyes were full of emotion. Not long ago, they also entered the Sword Cauldron Gate in the same way.
It took a full half-quarter of an hour to walk along the main road before reaching the majestic and simple main hall.
When he arrived at the main hall, Jian Yun turned around and looked at everyone complicatedly, and then entered the main hall. Eleven people followed him.
The main hall is not magnificent, but some are extremely simple carvings. Eight huge stones that only two adults can save are erected on the two plates of the main hall. On the huge stones, there are extremely fine carvings of dragons. They are dressed in black and have carvings on their chests.
Nine men with golden thin swords, one woman and ten masters of the Sword Cauldron Sect sat cross-legged directly above the main hall. After the eleven people from Lei Gang came in, ten men in black swept over the eleven people at the same time, and then each
A glimmer of light flashed in everyone's eyes, as if they were seeing a piece of jade.
When Jian Yun and the four disciples behind him saw the ten people, they all showed respectful expressions and said respectfully to the ten people: "I have seen ten masters!"
"Well! The five of you should retreat first." The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the middle nodded, but his eyes were staring at Dao Tu closely, with light shining in his eyes.
The five Jianyun men nodded respectfully and glanced at the eleven young men one by one. Jealousy flashed in their eyes, and then they slowly exited the hall.
Ten young men and one young girl looked dumbly at the ten middle-aged men in black sitting cross-legged there, including Wugang and Yinli.
The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the middle stared at Dao Tu for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and said: "Are you... willing to worship me, Gang Jianzi, as your master?"
"Pfft!" Dao Tu quickly knelt down and said with a trembling voice: "Disciple Dao Tu has met the master!"
"Okay, okay! From today on, you are my fifth disciple, Gang Jianzi. Three days later, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held!" Gang Jianzi's voice was loud, and his words contained excitement. Then he looked at He said to the other nine middle-aged men in black: "Brothers and sisters, it's your turn now."
The middle-aged graceful lady rolled her eyes, Gang Jianzi, and then said slowly: "You have already taken the one with the best qualifications. Well, luckily there is someone I like this time. Otherwise, I, Gang Lianzi, wouldn't be able to follow her." Then , the middle-aged graceful lady looked at Xu Mei, the only female disciple among the eleven, and said slowly: "Are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
Xu Mei's eyes flashed with dust, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Xu Mei has met Master.
The remaining nine disciples looked at the other eight middle-aged men eagerly one by one, with even more anxiety in their eyes. Especially Lei Gang, who was extremely nervous. Knowing that at this time, when his future was decided, his eyes looked at the eight men even more. middle-aged man. However, Lei Gang was disappointed that the other eight middle-aged men seemed to have valued his disciple. No middle-aged man in black had even glanced at him.
Lei Gang's eyes gradually turned red. Looking at the eyes of the eight people, the hope in Lei Gang's heart also turned into despair. Lei Gang held back the sadness in his heart and stood there trembling slightly.
