Morning Enlightenment Dazong, in front of the Zhidao Pavilion.
Everyone waited for another half a cup of tea. Except for the five newly promoted inner disciples, no one came forward.
"The selection is over! In the remaining time, the inner disciples who choose to stay in the sect can return to the peak. As for those who participated in the trial, you can communicate with your master. He can teach you the key points of entering the mountain! Trial at dawn
After completing the rules, you can enter the palace to obtain cube crystals and other things, pack your bags and go down the mountain." Elder Chen Nan said no more, and stood next to Lie Zhuang in a flash, telling him what to remember when entering the mountain.
Saint Chen Gang also swept down from the high platform, walked to Lie Xiling, and said softly: "As a teacher, I actually don't have anything to teach you. At most, I can teach you some techniques of controlling objects or elementary introductory exercises. After entering the mountain,
You have to take control of everything yourself and don’t act rashly!”
He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then Saint Chen Gang made a move, and a dark square stone shining with five colors of light immediately flew into his palm: "This is the Five Elements Stone condensed by the elders of the sect. It contains the Little Zhou Tian
Formation, you can use it to collect a small number of spirit beasts, and at the same time, you can accumulate merits. Although the most important thing for cultivators is to improve their strength, within the sect, merits are often the most important thing. The merits you obtained in this trial will be returned to the mountain
It will be included in the ranking of inner disciples later.”
After saying this, Saint Chen Gang looked desolate. He was very apologetic to this disciple.
Firstly, the exercises chosen by Lie Xiling are too weird. It is impossible to understand the attributes of the five elements, so they cannot be used for counseling. Secondly, Lie Xiling’s practice steps are too scary. He is not like other practitioners of the five elements.
Cultivate the Yuan Power, and then gradually refine it for your own use; instead, directly absorb the Yuan Power around you and solidify it as your own origin. This kind of cultivation method, let alone preaching, has not even been seen by Chen Gang Saint in the past hundred years.
This was also the reason why he eagerly wanted Lie Xiling to go down the mountain for a trial. He believed in Lie Xiling's own understanding. Since this path was independent, it meant that he could only find the next path by himself.
"Master, these disciples will remember this." After saying this, he bowed deeply.
"Get up, little bastard, don't you know that I hate these etiquettes the most? Come back alive and well for me, and don't call me 'Master, Master' from now on. You can just call me 'Old Man', 'Old Man','
"Man Niu, all of these are fine. I, Chen Gang, am not the kind of pedantic person who cares about reputation?" The saint Chen Gang pretended to be angry, but he had more in his heart, but it was to cover up the feeling of separation in his heart.
How many years have we not seen this situation? Thirty years, fifty years?
The high-spirited young man who went down the mountain for the first trial is now a master. But where did the original master go?
Saint Chen Gang immediately recalled that his master had given such instructions when he was newly promoted to the inner sect disciple and went out for the sect trial. However, his master had gone into seclusion since he had ascended to the realm of the five elements and obtained the title of sect deacon.
Went.
"I wonder if he has reached the third level of the Great Five Elements after so many years?"
Lie Xiling saw the look of reminiscence in the master's eyes, and knew what he was thinking, so he did not disturb him and stood quietly aside.
Saint Chen Gang was lost in thought for a while, then turned around and said calmly: "I will take you to the inner hall to obtain Fang Jing and sect supplies, and then go down the mountain after you have rested enough!"
Entering the main hall of the Zhidao Pavilion, there were already some outer disciples who had packed their bags and were waiting outside the hall door, waiting for them to rush over.
One of the older outer disciples in yellow clothes was obviously in his thirties. He must have been a loser who had repeatedly challenged the qualifications of the inner disciples. When he saw a group of inner disciples in bright clothes and angry horses approaching, his eyes showed that
A slight look of envy.
Seeing Lie Xiling approaching, he grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, stop. May I ask which tribe you belong to? Do you know where you are going for this trial?"
Lie Xiling saw that this man had a kind face and was not shy because of his age. After all, cultivators respected their strength, so he told him frankly: "I am a disciple of Zhan Wu Tang, and I should be going deep into the Nanli Mountains this time."
.It is said that the spiritual beasts inside have been thoroughly investigated by the major sects in Nanli, so there should be no danger."
"Nanli Qunshan?" The older young man looked gloomy, vaguely worried that he could not obtain the qualifications of an inner disciple and go down the mountain to take the test.
"Oh, is it possible that the sect has other trial venues?" Lie Xiling heard the implication of his words and couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes, the sect has opened a trial place on the southeastern coast of the Southern Wasteland with other sects in the dynasty, called the Sea Domain Dojo. There is also the Chenwu Back Mountain..."
Seeing that the young man in yellow was hesitant to speak, Lie Xiling looked excited and couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "Haiyu Dojo? Morning Enlightenment Back Mountain?"
"Yeah, but the spirit beasts in these two trial grounds are naturally much more powerful. As for the back mountain, it is a blessed training ground for the powerful people in the five elements realm of the sect." The young man in yellow feels that these things have surpassed his current level.
His cultivation was dwarfed even when he mentioned it, and he looked horrified and didn't say much.
"I don't know that." Seeing the expression of the young man in yellow, Lie Xiling couldn't help but feel a little sad. The way of cultivation can easily divide cultivators into three, six or nine grades. How could the suffering of these people who are struggling to find the path of cultivation be the same as theirs?
The proud man of heaven can understand.
"My name is Lie Xiling." He thought for a while, feeling that they had just met each other and should remember each other's names.
"My name is Wu Shi, a humble name in the village, easy to make a living!" The young man in yellow is also an open-minded person. When Lie Xiling reported his family name, he also told his name.
"Okay, when I return to the mountain after the trial, I will definitely ask you for more secrets of the sect." Lie Xiling smiled faintly, said goodbye to Wu Shi, and went to collect his own supplies.
Lie Xiling had long heard from his master that for this trial, he had to rush back to the sect before the next triennial preaching event in the Zhidao Pavilion. When he stepped forward and took a look, there were three sets of inner sect disciple clothes in the package, which cost dozens of yuan.
Low-grade square crystal. Although it only lasts for two years, it can catch up with the five-year supply of outer disciples.
The Lie brothers turned around and came out of the inner hall, and saw a group of elders sitting in the front hall of the Zhidao Pavilion drinking tea. From time to time, the unruly voice of Master Chen Gang was heard, and they couldn't help but grin.
Not long after, the five inner disciples who had participated in the trial had packed their bags and were waiting in front of the Taoist Pavilion.
Seeing this, Elder Chen Nan came out, his expression still calm: "This time when four major disciples of Nanli are out for trials, there will inevitably be intersections. The sect has already sent two inner disciples of the ninth level of enlightenment to come here.
Wait at the bottom of the mountain, remember, after you come down from the mountain, everything must follow their arrangements. I, a disciple of the Chenwu Sect, must not fight with others easily!"
"Oh, what a coincidence! Could it be that the other three major sects heard about my morning awakening sect's trial and deliberately arranged it?" The older boy who had changed into a blue military uniform said inexplicably.
Seeing his strange expression, Lie Xiling trembled and couldn't help but asked: "Brother, why did you say this?"
"Oh, Junior Brother Xiling, your master, Elder Chen Gang, is naturally open-minded and will never talk about these sect feuds with you, but I learned from private sources that the three major sects of Tianyin, Zhong Yu, and Lieguo in Nanli are
I have long been interested in comparing myself to our Chen Wuzong sect. Among them, the disciples of the Zhong Yu sect are particularly domineering. They rely on their origins to leave the palace and claim to be the emperor sect. They regard us as village roughnecks and have a high regard for family status."
"Hmph! Arrogance also requires capital. If the palace allows him to be glorious until he dies, and fame and wealth are so tempting, why join the sect? This is a common thing, so just ignore it!"
However, after hearing what the older young man said, Lie Zhuang put the huge bow on his back and immediately cursed.
"Brother Lie Zhuang is indeed a man of good temperament. Yes, I have learned about the great sect in the morning and have left aside Saint Chen'an to become the strongest person in the Southern Wilderness. Even if the sect's own power has never been defeated by other great sects?" The young man in green raised his eyebrows.
, pride suddenly appeared.
As for the other gentle girl with a determined look, and the dull young man behind everyone, they both remained calm when they heard the discussion.
The sect elders walked out one after another and gave instructions to their disciples again, and all the young people came down the mountain.
Just after the inner disciples who had gone out for the trial left the mountain, a young man wearing a yellow outer disciple's uniform flashed out from the corridor of the main hall, raised his hand and released a mountain harrier, and then threw it in the direction they left.
He went to take a serious look. His face turned cold and he gritted his teeth and said, "Very good. If your Lie brothers insulted me that day, then they will stay in the Nanli Mountains and never come back!"
The situation of the four major sects around the Nanli Dynasty is as the older boy said, but it is not as serious as he said. The battle between sects is not as trivial as what these eager teenagers are dictating. Every major sect has hundreds of years of history.
Accumulation, it needs to weigh the gains and losses before determining its foreign strategy.
The sect that has grown up for hundreds of years has naturally become a monster in mind. The disciples in the sect compete with each other, fight, and even suffer casualties, but the senior management will not break up because of this. At most, they will come to ask questions.
Almost at the same time as the group of young girls came down the mountain, the Saint of Chen Gang had collected the sword letters representing their identities and walked towards the Zhanwu Hall. Soon they came to an extremely smooth black stone wall with convex grooves.
In front of him, he mounted the five pieces of sword letter one by one and put them up.
The sword letter brightened in an instant, and like the hundreds of sword letters around it, it shone with a quiet light. If you look carefully, you will find that the light of the sword letter also has strong and weak points.
The entrance to the Nanli Mountains is not near the Chenwu Sect. Flying the weapon consumes a lot of energy, so no one among the young men shows off.
After staying one night at Chenwu Dazongshanjiao Inn, I waited for the person Elder Chennan mentioned.
But they are a man and a woman. The man's name is Zheng Sheng. He is a disciple of the fifth generation of Chenwu Sect. In terms of seniority, he should be called senior brother. This man is about thirty years old, tall and thin, with a bookish look. His eyes flash from time to time.
, but it is fascinating.
The woman's name is Zhao Xin, she is also a disciple of the fifth generation, and is almost the same age as Zheng Sheng. Although she is not very impressive, she has a clear smile and a warm conversation. At first glance, she seems to be a generous person.
After everyone reported their names, Lie Xiling found out that the eldest young man in the sect who was promoted to an inner disciple with him was named Yuan Wen, but it was a very rare surname in the Nanli Dynasty.
That dull boy's name was Li Mu. The name was very similar to his character.
As for the resolute girl who got the green flute from the sect's tomb, her name is very elegant, Wei Qingxian.
When a group of disciples from the fifth generation met, they commensurate with their age.
After staying one night, the group turned westward and bypassed the affluent Sucheng area. In the evening, they arrived at a border town at the entrance of the Nanli Mountains.
In order to avoid the name taboo, this town was changed from Nanli Town to Nanhui Town, which means that when you arrive here, you will reach the edge of the Nanli Dynasty.
The armed guards stationed here asked if they were a large group of people, so they didn't stop them and sent them to the official residence to rest.
This place is backed by the endless Nanli Mountains. The environment is extremely quiet and the birds are chirping at night. It is also suitable for practitioners. The group took a rest and went back to their rooms.
Lie Xiling's room was close to Lie Zhuang's, and when he got bored, he left the room to look for his brother.
I saw Lie Zhuang leaning his whole body against the smooth log guardrail of the official building, looking at the Nanli mountains from a distance, his eyes dim and his expression getting colder and colder.
He knew what his brother was thinking, so he did not disturb him and stood aside quietly. When he went down the mountain, he passed the original settlement and saw that the North Peak was still majestic. However, he could barely see the path leading to the Nanli Mountains. In the past ten years, it had been covered with vines.
Covered by giant trees.
"I'll go into the mountains tomorrow!" Lie Zhuang noticed his younger brother's arrival and said lightly, not sure if he was talking to him.
"Yeah." Lie Xiling replied, raising his head to look at the Nanli Mountains not far away. He could only see the rugged mountains, which outlined a dark afterimage in the night, which was not very clear.
"Ten years! Do you still remember that ten years ago, we were chased by a group of five-element evil beasts and had to abandon our home and flee? And after tomorrow, 'Feng Yin' will definitely settle this blood debt!" General Lie Zhuang leaned beside him.
He raised his huge bow and looked stubbornly towards the depths of the mountains.
Lie Xiling had no idea that his lively and aggressive brother had accumulated so much hatred in ten years.
