Du Xuan was slightly startled. He must not tell the truth to the stranger in front of him, so he said: "Senior, I don't know why I became a demon cultivator, just like I don't know why I lost my martial arts in the first place. As for why I lost all my martial arts.
This colorful sandalwood stick was a gift from an old man."
Gifted by an old man?
Gu Zhikun raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is this old man? How could he give you such a treasure for no reason?"
Du Xuan's face did not change and he said calmly: "Senior, the disciples don't know who this old man is, and the old man has not informed him of his identity."
Gu Zhikun naturally knew that it was Du Xuan who didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't force him.
After a pause, he raised his head and asked, "Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
Du Xuan was shocked and didn't know what to say. After all, he had no idea who the old man in front of him was or what his strength was. Even if he wanted to become a disciple, he should find a master with good strength.
When Gu Zhikun saw this, he frowned and hummed: "What? You don't want to?"
Now that I am in trouble in the Demon Valley, and I have been saved by the Master of the Demon Valley, I can't be picky.
After coming back to his senses, Du Xuan finally stood up, knelt on his knees, leaned over and said: "Disciple pays homage to master."
"Haha, that's pretty much it. Get up." Gu Zhikun laughed a few times and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't accepted a disciple for ten years, but I made an exception for you today."
Hearing this, Du Xuan, who had just stood up, felt a sense of joy in his heart. Then he immediately knelt down again and said, "This disciple is lucky enough to receive this great favor. Thank you so much, Master."
Gu Zhikun was quite pleased with what he heard. He waved his hand to signal Du Xuan to stand up and said: "I am Gu Zhikun, the great elder of Demon Valley. I have not wronged you by being your master."
Hearing this, Du Xuan's eyes lit up. The old man in front of him, who looked unattractive and slightly thin, turned out to be the Great Elder of Demon Valley.
Elder Mogu was his master, so he naturally did not wrong him. So, Du Xuandang even handed over his hand again and said: "Disciples don't dare. It is a blessing for disciples to be taught by masters."
Gu Zhikun nodded, put away his smile, and said: "Although I accept you as a disciple, you must first pass the Valley Examination in my Demon Valley. However, with your qualifications, you can definitely pass the Valley Examination."
"However, although it is not a big problem for you to pass the Valley Examination, the score of the Valley Examination will also determine which group you will be assigned to." Gu Zhikun took a sip of tea and continued, "In my Demon Valley, the disciples are divided into
There are six groups: A, B, C, D, W, and J. Group A is the best, and group I is the worst. The higher the group, the more preferential treatment you can get. This preferential treatment is very important for cultivation, and you will know it later. Therefore, you must take it seriously.
This is the Valley Exam. If you fail the Valley Exam, you will have no choice but to leave the Demon Valley, even if I am willing to accept you as my disciple. Do you understand?"
Du Xuan listened carefully, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I understand."
"Well, you can rest here for the rest of the night. We will make arrangements after the Gu exam tomorrow." After Gu Zhikun finished speaking, he shouted outside, "Tiger Three!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple who had just poured the tea quickly entered the door, stood in the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Elder."
Gu Zhikun pointed to Du Xuan next to him and said: "This is Du Xuan. He will stay here for the time being. Tomorrow morning, you will take him to take the Gu exam."
"yes."
The disciple named Hu San answered with his hands raised, and then led Du Xuan out of the hall.
When we come to the left wing, the furnishings are also very simple. There is a round table and two chairs in the center of the entrance, two kiosks on the left and right, and a small door on each side of the inside, and that's it.
At this time, there was no one in the room.
After entering, Hu San closed the door smoothly, then looked at Du Xuan curiously and asked, "Are you new here?"
Du Xuan nodded.
Hu San held his chin with one hand, looking puzzled, and said: "Then how come you were brought back by the Great Elder? Did you know the Great Elder before?"
Du Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
At this time, the small door on the left opened, and a person came out. This person saw a stranger in the room, and asked coldly with a straight face: "Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?"
Hu San walked up to the man and said: "Second brother, this is Du Xuan. The great elder just brought it back and asked me to take him to take the valley test tomorrow. I guess the great elder found it outside and thought he had some qualifications."
, then bring it back to the Demon Valley. Du Xuan, this is my senior brother, Hu Er."
The Mogu disciple named Hu Er walked up to Du Xuan, looked him up and down, and said, "I think you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, so you come to Mogu to take the exam? What is your cultivation level?"
Du Xuan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by others like this. However, since he had just arrived, he still raised his hands and said, "I just arrived as a first-class magician."
"ah!"
"What!"
The two of them were shocked that they were actually first-class magicians at such a young age! This was simply an unheard of thing!
Seeing the shocked looks on their faces, Du Xuan didn't want to explain any more, so he hurriedly said: "Brothers, I'm very tired today, and I have to take the Valley Exam tomorrow. Can you let me rest first? The rest will be done later.
I’ll talk about it after I take the exam.”
The two of them were a little startled, but Hu Er came to his senses first, nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes! You rest first and take the Gu exam before we talk. Hu San, you will sleep with me tonight, and your bed will be given to me first."
This little brother."
Du Xuan's words immediately made Hu Er's attitude much better.
"Okay, no problem." Hu San seemed to listen to Hu Er's words and nodded immediately.
Du Xuan was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "How can this be done? I can just sleep on the ground."
Hu Er waved his hand and said: "What's the matter? You have to take the Gu Kao test tomorrow, so you have to rest well. Besides, I'm just here for one night. If you pass the Gu Kao test, you will be assigned a place to live.
.”
"This bed is a floor bunk anyway. How about we put the bunks together and squeeze the three of us together?" Du Xuan thought for a while and suggested.
Hu Er thought about it and felt that it made some sense. Although he and Hu San were not big people, it was still very crowded if they squeezed into the same bed, so he nodded and said: "That's okay! Hu San, move the bed."
"Okay." Hu San nodded and already started to move the bed.
When Du Xuan saw this, he naturally hurried over to help.

Gu Qingshan, after leaving the Demon Palace and returning to his own house, locked himself in the study and fell into deep thought.
Previously, although he had been watching the battle from a distance and did not dare to intervene in advance, he could clearly see the black ball used by Du Xuan. The black ball was actually a high-explosive ball, and it was also a thing from the Demon Valley!
High-explosive ball, plus this colorful sandalwood stick. Could it be that he was secretly helping Du Xuan?
But, didn't he die ten years ago?
Could it be?!
Gu Qingshan's eyes widened as he thought this. He didn't know when his back was already wet. He sighed and shook his head. The majestic Demon Valley Master did not dare to think deeply about it.
