Lin Ji had no idea that a little girl had seen through him in just one encounter.
Neither he nor Xiaoying took what happened just now to heart.
"I don't know why there are so many monks in Qingyang County." Lin Ji yawned and stood up.
"Pack up the oven and set off to Qinghua Mountain early tomorrow morning."
Xiaoying stood up reluctantly.
"You can clean the side room next to it yourself. You can stay there tonight." After Lin Ji finished explaining, he dived into his main room.
A night of silence.
...
Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Lin Ji woke up.
After traveling for half a month, he had a peaceful sleep after a long absence, which really made him relax a lot.
When he came to the small courtyard, he saw that the oven used last night was thrown carelessly in the corner of the courtyard. Lin Ji twitched the corner of his mouth but said nothing.
Hearing the snoring in the side room, I muttered a few words in my mind that this is Shen Long's apprentice, and finally suppressed my anger.
After returning to Qingyang County, the morning was naturally the same as before.
I went to a donkey meat shop to buy donkey meat, and then I went to Lao Li's Shaobing Store next to the county government office and bought some sesame cakes.
When I was carrying my things and preparing to go back, I happened to see a man dressed as a police officer walking out of the county government office.
"Song Er, go and deliver a message to the monks in the city. Tell them that the grand opening of the mountain is coming soon. The monks in the county must leave today and let them wait at the foot of Qinghua Mountain. They must not disturb the people in the county, otherwise we will
The Qingcheng Sect will never give up."
Song Er nodded and bowed behind the catcher. He looked more than ten kilograms thinner than before, but he still had the roundness, wealth and aura of before.
After hearing the words of the arrester in front of him, Song Er responded repeatedly, then hunched over and trotted away.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji suddenly became interested.
When the head catcher passed by him, he stepped forward and blocked his way.
"Get out of the way!" The head catcher didn't even look at Lin Ji, but raised his hand to push Lin Ji away.
Lin Ji stepped back half a step and let the opponent's hand fall. Then he cupped his hand and asked, "Are you going to arrest the head? What happened in Qingyang County? Why are there so many monks?"
Chief Cheng frowned slightly and looked Lin Ji up and down.
"Aren't you from Qingyang County? Are you also a monk from outside?" Cheng Baotou asked in confusion, "You are here, but you don't know about the founding ceremony of the Qingcheng Sect?"
Lin Ji was stunned and suddenly understood.
"That's it, thank you."
Lin Ji got out of the way.
Cheng Baotou didn't care about Lin Ji and went away on his own.
After a while, Lin Ji was eating donkey meat and burning it in the yard, and Xiaoying finally woke up from sleep.
Seeing her walking out of the room while rubbing her eyes, Lin Ji handed over a piece of donkey meat to be burned and said: "It's a coincidence that we are here. It is close to the founding ceremony of the Qingcheng Sect, so there is a lot of excitement."
"What is the opening ceremony?" Xiaoying sat down next to Lin Ji.
Lin Ji smiled and said: "The Qingcheng Sect opens a mountain to recruit disciples every ten years. When I came to Qingyang County, it was just a few years after the last founding ceremony. I didn't expect that almost ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. I have heard of this before.
It’s something, but it’s the first time I’ve encountered it.”
Xiaoying still looked nonchalant.
"Does this matter have anything to do with you and me?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Oh." She obviously didn't care.
...
It's quite effective if you become a head catcher.
When Lin Ji and Xiaoying had breakfast and were preparing to leave together, they happened to see many monks leaving Qingyang County as well.
Most of these monks who came and went brought their juniors with them, obviously preparing to send them to the Qingcheng Sect.
"Although the Qingcheng Sect is quite low-key in Kyushu, the inheritance of its talismans is not simple..." Lin Ji introduced casually.
"I know, Master told me before." Xiaoying lost interest.
Lin Ji was asking for trouble and simply stopped talking.
Qinghua Mountain is a peak on the outskirts of the Qingshan Mountains, and the Qingcheng Sect is located on Qinghua Mountain.
After leaving Qingyang County, after walking for about two hours, Lin Ji and Xiaoying could see Qinghua Mountain from a distance.
When they came closer, they saw hundreds of young people waiting obediently in the square opened at the foot of the mountain, while the elders of each family retreated further away.
Around the square, many disciples of the Qingcheng Sect were welcoming and escorting him.
Soon, someone met Lin Ji and Xiaoying.
"You two are here to attend the opening ceremony, right? If your cultivation level is above the third level, please go to the north and wait. If your cultivation level is below the third level, please wait in the south."
After hearing what this disciple said, Lin Jicai discovered that the young monks in the square were vaguely divided into two groups.
"Oh? What is this statement?" Lin Ji asked curiously.
"If your cultivation level is above the third realm, the test of entering the mountain will be much more difficult, and those who have already cultivated themselves may not be suitable to join the Qingcheng Sect." The welcoming disciple explained.
"I see." Lin Ji nodded and said with a smile, "We are familiar with each other in the Qingcheng Sect. We are not here to attend the founding ceremony. Please inform us."
The disciple who welcomed the guests shook his head.
"During the opening ceremony of the mountain, outsiders are not allowed to enter the mountain."
Seeing that Lin Ji wanted to speak again, the disciple's face became a little more serious and said: "My friend, you are not the only one who is familiar with me on the mountain. The opening ceremony of the mountain is coming soon, and even the head master cannot do anything bad.
Got the rules.”
The disciple shook his head and said, "If you want to enter the mountain, you must attend the opening ceremony. Otherwise, let's wait until the ceremony is over."
After the words fell, the disciple obviously thought that Lin Ji and Xiaoying wanted to go behind, and ignored them.
Lin Ji and Xiaoying looked at each other.
"Uncle Lin, what should we do now?"
"I have heard people say that the Qingcheng Sect's founding ceremony uses the mountain-protecting formation as a test." Lin Ji said with some interest, "It is said to be a formation composed of eighty-one seventh-grade talismans, and there is no change in it.
Measurement."
Lin Ji looked at Xiaoying.
"This is a rare opportunity, how about we join in the fun?"
"It's still not possible." Xiaoying felt a little troubled.
Why bother when you can go directly into the mountains?
The disciple who just said that the leader cannot violate the rules was just what he said.
Lin Ji became interested.
"When we come to visit as guests, we don't want to break other people's rules."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ji was already walking towards the north of the square.
Seeing this, Xiaoying had no choice but to follow.
...
On Qinghua Mountain.
Halfway up the back mountain, a courtyard was built in a quiet place among the woods.
Qingcheng Sect elder Zhao Wenshan came outside the courtyard and knocked on the door.
The door slowly opened, revealing a young face.
"Ayane." Elder Zhao smiled.
"Senior Brother Zhao, are you looking for Master?"
"Yes, the opening ceremony is coming soon, and the leader came to ask who will host it this time," Zhao Wenshan said.
Before Ayane could speak, a voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Ayane goes."
When Ayane heard this, she immediately turned back to look at the figure bending down next to the vegetable field.
"Master, do you want me to go?"
"Go ahead, you have just broken through to the Night Travel Realm, and now you are the chief disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. You just want to take this opportunity to show off your authority in front of your junior brothers and sisters."
