Zhuoran and the three women rode two strong black hawks. Behind the black hawks' necks were two young disciples from the Beast Taming Pavilion. Judging from their skillful movements, it was obvious that they were all veterans.
After flying for most of the day, it was about to enter night, when suddenly I saw a towering mountain appearing in front of me.
The two beast control disciples slowed down and flew slowly towards the mountain.
The mountain is shrouded in mist, and at dusk, the mountain looks mysterious and spectacular. There seems to be a bell on the mountain, and the sound waves are transmitted one after another. When you listen to it, it is shocking and enlightening, and it seems to have the effect of enlightenment.
. This place is really magical, and Zhuo Ran fell in love with it instantly. The rich oriental atmosphere is like returning to my hometown, very friendly.
After getting closer to the mountain, a disciple of the Beast Taming Pavilion casually shot out a spiritual light, which seemed to be used to send a message.
"This is a common means of foreshadowing used by upright disciples to show that they are upright disciples and not evil heretics."
Zhuoran frowned when he heard this. Listening to what the disciple of the Beast Taming Pavilion said, the Eastern Continent is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Evil heretics have appeared.
After landing at the foot of the mountain, the two disciples from the Beast Taming Pavilion drove the black eagle away, and the hundred lower-grade spiritual stones were also used here.
At this time, night has fallen, but there are still people coming and going at the foot of the mountain. Most of them are children aged thirteen or fourteen, many of whom are accompanied by adults. Judging from their anxious expressions, they seem to be expecting something.
"We haven't started yet, it's been two days!"
"Don't worry, we'll start tomorrow."
Zhuo Ran asked a middle-aged man next to him strangely, "What do you want to start tomorrow?"
Standing next to the middle-aged man was a little girl, who looked about fourteen years old, with slightly bulging breasts, a delicate brocade robe, and a pretty face. She was considered a beauty. She heard this and said with a smile: "Idiot. What can I do even starting tomorrow?"
I don’t even know why you came to the Yuanling Sect’s mountain gate?”
"Ling'er, don't be rude!" The middle-aged man shouted, looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "I hope you don't blame me, sir. My daughter has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child."
"It's okay, it's okay. As a kid, that's understandable." Zhuoran waved his hand.
When the little girl heard this, her slender eyebrows immediately stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she pouted her little mouth, as if she wanted to say goodbye to Zhuo Ran.
The middle-aged man put his big hand on the little girl's head and casually glanced at the three women beside Zhuo Ran. He was extremely surprised. Although he was not well-informed, he could tell that these people were not from the East.
People from mainland China feel confused when they think of this.
"Tomorrow is the day when the Yuanling Sect opens its gates and recruits disciples. Everyone who comes here is so that their children can join the Yuanling Sect and become disciples."
Zhuoran said: "Are there any restrictions on recruiting disciples?"
"Of course there is. Elderly uncles and aunties like you are not allowed to enter." The little girl sarcastically said when she got the chance.
Zhuo Ran chuckled and ignored her.
"There are no specific standards. It's just that disciples who successfully join the Yuanling Sect will first become outer disciples. After a period of inspection and final selection competition, they can become inner disciples."
Yun Qing asked: "Are all sects recruiting disciples recently?"
"That's right. Now is the middle of the year, which is the best time to recruit disciples. So we usually recruit disciples at this time."
Afterwards, Zhuoran and others asked a few more questions and then went to stay. They saw that these people were very persistent and seemed to have to wait until dawn, so they had to wait together.
The stars are dotted and the stars are bright. The clear night sky in June still looks very impressive.
Nothing happened all night.
Just after dawn, there was a bell ringing from this huge mountain with no horizon at a glance, and the buzzing sound spread throughout the mountains. When I heard it, my mind was clear, and I suddenly felt tired after not sleeping all night.
Disappeared. This made Zhuoran very surprised by the magic of the bell.
After the bell rang three times, Zhuoran felt refreshed and had an indescribable feeling of comfort all over his body. Just the sound of a bell made him look forward to the magic within Yuanling Sect.
Everyone stood up sparsely and began to gather at the foot of the mountain.
Looking up from the foot of the mountain, a ladder to the sky reaches straight into the sky. Halfway up the mountain, a huge stone archway stands there. Three large characters with green light can actually be seen clearly by Zhuoran at the foot of the mountain.
Yuanling Sect!
After Zhuo Ran saw those three big characters silently recited in his heart, his mind shuddered, as if something was pouring out of his heart, and he suddenly felt something that he had never felt before.
Yun Qing looked at the three big characters with fascination. She and Zhuo Ran had always wondered why the writing and language of this world were similar to those of China on Earth. After seeing the three straight big characters, she understood.
Because this world also has Eastern civilization! Moreover, it is obvious that the Eastern civilization in this world is older, more powerful, and more brilliant than the Chinese civilization on earth!
Countless signs indicate that countless legends that have appeared on Earth seem to have their roots here.
Wendy and Lian Na looked at the road to the sky, and they were speechless. They didn't know who could have the strength to dig such a stone staircase on such a ten-thousand-meter-high mountain.
It is about nine meters wide and each step is about half a foot high. The square and edged stone steps look like a rare work of art. There seems to be some secret on the stone steps. When Wen Wen
Di couldn't help but be curious. She looked closer and found a word written in the center of each step.
spirit!
Zhuo Ran and Yun Qing looked at the same thing. Looking at the familiar 'spirit', the subtle feeling in their hearts was even more strange. Zhuo Ran suddenly raised his head and looked at the word "Ling" on the stone archway. Sure enough, it was the same handwriting.
The same charm.
"What kind of person is this? Did he dig out this staircase by himself? Is it the huge stone archway he erected? Could it be that he really dug out this mountain of unknown height with one person's strength?
Did you do it again?" Zhuo Ran whispered in his heart, horrified and inexplicable.
At this time, a dozen people came down from the stairs on both sides of the mountain. One on the left and one on the right. The one at the front was a middle-aged man wearing a green robe. These two people were actually the stewards of the outer disciples.
He is also the person responsible for assessment.
The person on the left has a white, beardless face, high cheekbones, and lower cheeks. This look of dignity is somewhat fresh in people's minds.
The middle-aged man on the right is better, but his small, slender eyes don't give people a good impression.
There were nine people in each group. They said they came down from the mountain, but in fact they appeared from the archway thousands of meters high. After about ten minutes, the two groups stopped at a place thirty stone steps above the ground.
The man with cheekbones said: "I am Gao Quangu, the deacon of the outer sect."
The man with small eyes said: "I am Xiao Yanjing, the deacon of the outer sect."
When Zhuo Ran heard these two names, his joy burst out instantly and he actually sneered.
In the eyes of everyone below, the two outer sect deacons were high-ranking officials in the outer sect, so there was no reason to be disrespectful. At this time, Zhuo Ran's sneer broke the silence. He knew immediately that something was wrong.
He quickly shut his mouth.
Gao Quangu and Xiao Yanjing were obviously not broad-minded people. They stared at Zhuoran for a long time, with displeasure flashing on their faces. This time they continued.
Gao Quan said in ancient times: "We are responsible for today's entrance examination. Anyone who wants to get started can participate."
Xiao Yan said respectfully: "You just need to go up the stone steps. Those who can reach more than thirty steps can become outer sect disciples. Those who can reach more than one thousand steps can ask the inner sect elders to appear and identify their qualifications. If you are lucky enough, say
Maybe I can become an inner disciple."
"Of course, the Patriarch has said that it is not difficult to reach the sky and become a core disciple in one step. As long as you can follow the stairs and walk step by step to the top of Yuanling Mountain and to the door of Yuanling Hall of Yuanling Sect, you will be
Core disciples, even Gao Quangu and I must respect you very much!"
Gao Quan said: "If you are ready, you can start at any time."
As soon as they heard that it was time to start, some impatient teenagers rushed out. When they stepped up the steps, they saw nothing unusual, but their bodies suddenly sank, as if they had been suppressed by some huge force.
A faint aura appeared on the bodies of more than a dozen young people. They could be regarded as apprentices in the arts, and they all had some foundation.
These teenagers walked hard step by step on their not-so-thick feet. They were all sweating profusely and their bodies were soaked to the skin. And the most outstanding one among them had just stepped onto the twelfth step.
"Ling'er, you can go too."
The pretty girl also stepped onto the stone steps, but she seemed to have no feeling about the stone steps. She stepped on the twenty-fifth step without any pressure, and then stopped.
Seeing this, the remaining people swarmed up. Hundreds of people suddenly crowded the stone steps.
Zhuo Ran and others really waited calmly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell for sure, so he didn't go forward rashly.
After a quarter of an hour, everyone who was tired left dejectedly and left with their families. If it didn't work here, they could only try other places. If you go late, you will really miss it.
And there are indeed many powerful guys among them. More than a dozen young people have already climbed the thirty steps, and among them is the girl named Ling'er.
"Dad, go back!" Ling'er waved and shouted.
The middle-aged man said: "Don't forget to find your brother, he will take care of you!"
"knew."
The middle-aged man left in a hurry. When Zhuo Ran wanted to say goodbye, he could no longer be found. Zhuo Ran was immediately frightened and thought to himself: "Did you meet an expert?"
Seeing that there were already many empty seats on the stairs, Zhuo Ran whispered to the three women: "Step on this ladder and don't think about anything. Remember, don't think about anything. Just keep your mind clear."
