Volume 8, Chapter 10 [Unfair Encounters on the Road]
Wang Rui coughed, adjusted himself, and then walked into the tent.
Sitting inside was a woman in sky blue robes. She looked a little older. She probably had not improved much in her cultivation over a long period of time, making it difficult to resist aging. This woman was an outer disciple, and she could tell from the color of her robe.
"Don't be nervous, just sit in front of me. Your name is Wang Ping, right?" The woman looked at the main book and saw Wang Rui's "name".
Wang Rui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, Fairy Lady is polite."
The woman nodded, and then began to perform the psychic test. Wang Rui closed his eyes.
After a while, Wang Rui heard the woman say: "Congratulations, you passed the exam."
Wang Rui opened his eyes and showed a "surprise" expression.
The woman gave him a token and looked at it. It was a bamboo token with the words "Outer Five Hundred and Seven" written on it. Wang Rui knew that this meant that he had become a member of the outer disciples, and his ranking happened to be
There are more than 1,000 qualified people.
If it is a registered disciple, the number on the token will be "Record·XXXX". If it is an inner disciple with excellent qualifications, it will be reported to the inner disciple, and then the elder will take him away. They will gather in
Another place.
There are three major groups: registered disciples, outer sect disciples and inner sect disciples. Outer sect disciples are only one in a hundred compared to registered disciples, and inner sect disciples are only one in a hundred compared to outer sect disciples.
It is extremely lucky to be selected to become an inner disciple. If you are particularly outstanding and can be favored by an elder deacon or an elder, that would be great.
Being an outer disciple is not bad, the worst thing is being a registered disciple. However, today is different from the past. Through the innovations during this period, Wang Rui has greatly improved the treatment of registered disciples. It is much better than before, so
As a result, many people rushed to Xutian Sect, even to become registered disciples.
When Wang Rui walked out with the token, Li Hongji was not found. It seemed that he was not prepared to participate in such a boring game like Wang Rui.
At this time, a noise came from a nearby tent. It seemed that several young men and women who had failed the psychic test were begging a Taoist priest.
"Taoist Priest, give me another chance, I can make alchemy." A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old begged, with an anxious look on his face.
"Taoist Master, I can make weapons and armor." This young man looked much taller and more powerful, with strong arms.
Finally, there was a girl with a somewhat cowardly personality. Standing behind the strong young man, after the two of them finished speaking, she added playfully: "Taoist Master, I... I can plant medicinal and fruit trees, and I can also raise silkworms and spin yarn.
, making ready-to-wear.”
"Hahahaha..." The people around suddenly burst into laughter. Do you think these three people regard this place as a shop? This is a place where immortal cultivators gather. Who cares about your "side theories".
The Taoist priest had been pestered by these three people for a long time, and became impatient. He flicked his sleeves, and the thin young man who was pleading and pulling his sleeves immediately rolled to the ground. The tall and majestic young man and the timid girl,
He quickly rushed over to help his companion up, his face looking depressed.
"Don't make any noise here. This is the land of the Immortal Sect. Mortals like you are not allowed to run wild. Someone will take the three of them away." The Taoist ordered, and two named disciples came over immediately. They were wearing all kinds of clothes.
It is a relatively simple gray or brown robe.
One of the two men picked up the two teenagers, and the other took out a whip, rolled up the girl, and took them away.
Everyone around looked at this scene with expressions of surprise and envy.
The young man carrying the two teenagers looked thin and did not look like a strong person, but he could easily carry the two people, at least weighing more than 200 kilograms.
Another person is even more miraculous, a whip can actually roll up a girl, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"This...this is the Immortal..." Many people were extremely envious when they saw this scene. After learning that these two people were just registered disciples, they immediately intensified their eagerness to join Xutian Sect, even if they were just to be registered disciples.
.
Wang Rui felt deeply in his heart, but then he frowned. Although he mentioned in his reforms to improve registered disciples that those with special talents could be taken care of, it obviously did not include these mortals who had not yet started.
But what if there are people with special talents among these mortals? Thinking of this, Wang Rui followed him calmly.
Although the scene just now was funny, it was commonplace to the people around me. It had happened everywhere since the beginning of the mountain.
Without any effort, Wang Rui followed the two named disciples and followed them all the way. They did not go up the mountain road, after all, there were too many people going up the mountain.
Instead, go down the mountain from the other side of the trail, and you can still see fellow disciples coming and going from time to time.
"I've seen Senior Brother Zhan and Senior Brother Lu. Just leave them here. I'll wait for a few more people and then send them down the mountain together." It turns out that these two people don't have to go down the mountain. They are just responsible for sending people who don't pass and don't pass.
Convinced mortals will be brought here to gather, and then there will be specially transported disciples to do it for them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Chen." The two men nodded to the man who greeted them, put the three of them down, and then left after briefly chatting for a few words.
Wang Rui stood in the grass near the gathering place, and with the use of concealment techniques, no one could detect his traces.
Hundreds of young men and women have gathered here, and there are seven or eight people responsible for transporting them down the mountain. Each person can carry more than ten people with his own magic weapon, and it takes about half an hour to go back and forth, and the speed is not too slow.
嘤嘤嘤……
There were cries from both men and women. Failure to pass the test meant that they could only be sent back. Most of them were just ordinary people. Unlike those princes and grandsons or the heirs of the Immortal Cultivation Family, not having the chance to be immortal meant that they were unable to change their lives.
The fate of many people in the mortal world is unsatisfactory.
"Why are you crying? It's so easy to enter the Immortal Sect. When you go back, just be a mortal." A registered disciple said.
The timid girl just now cried and said: "Taoist Master, the three of us went out together to travel through mountains and rivers. We were not living a satisfactory life in the mortal world. We also found many immortal sects, but none of them took us in. At the moment, Xutian Sect is
Our last hope, but this hope has been shattered. After we go back, I am afraid that the three of us will not survive."
The disciple asked curiously: "Who have you offended?"
"Oh, Taoist Priest, it's not that we want to offend. The other party is from a family that cultivates immortality. My sister was attracted by their legitimate son and insisted on taking her as a concubine. Logically speaking, it doesn't matter. There are beautiful women among poor people.
Not at a loss, but Brother Hu and I accidentally found out that this is the guy next to me." The thin boy pointed at the powerful boy next to him and introduced him.
The Xutian Sect disciple nodded and said: "It's not bad that your sister can be favored by people from the cultivating family. Maybe she can become a cultivator, no worse than us."
"I don't know, Taoist Master, but the legitimate son of the Immortal Cultivation Family once told the truth after drinking wine, saying that he came from some secret... or something..." The thin young man couldn't remember some words.
"Brother, it's the Shadow Society." The timid girl on the side reminded her quickly.
The thin boy immediately nodded and said: "Yes, it's the Shadow Society. That bastard who was hollowed out by alcohol and sex said he learned a secret technique from the Shadow Society that can extract yin and replenish yang. The purpose is to use my sister like
The virgin is used as a cauldron, and then practices evil methods to restore his own energy and prolong his life. I heard him boast that he has used this method to kill many powerless common women, and so far
No one dared to take care of it. I was so angry that I poisoned that bastard. The result was like poking a hornet's nest, being hunted down by people sent by his family. Finally, under Brother Hu's reminder, I brought him with me in advance.
My sister escaped, but she couldn't escape these people at all. The three of us accidentally heard at a roadside stall that Xutian Sect was opening a new school to recruit disciples, so we came to try our luck with Brother Hu and my sister. I remember that it was fine at the time.
We ran fast. The killers sent by the families were at the foot of the mountain. However, due to the majesty of the Immortal Sect, we did not dare to act recklessly. But now, once the three of us lose the protection of your sect, we are probably going to die on the spot.
It’s a foreign country.”
After saying that, the skinny boy and the timid girl started crying again, which made the people around them couldn't help but sympathize with them. Compared with the three of them, the others could go back to farming, doing hard work, taking the imperial examination, etc.
If not, I can wander around the world and live a free and easy life as a sect swordsman.
"This is... it's really difficult to handle..." The named disciple is still a kind-hearted person, and after hearing what happened to the three of them, he felt a little unbearable.
Once he takes them down the mountain and encounters the group of killers, although he can protect their integrity within the scope of the sect, he will definitely not be able to do it once they are not under his nose.
However, he was only an insignificant registered disciple and did not have the power to take in these three people.
"Junior Brother Chen, I have sent you a few more people. You can leave this time." The two Senior Brother Zhan and Senior Brother Lu just came again and brought him four or five people. In addition to the previous few,
There are almost ten people.
"Two senior brothers, I have a situation here. I wonder if you can be accommodating?" This junior brother Chen was really kind-hearted and took the initiative to intercede for the three people.
After the two senior brothers heard this, Senior Brother Lu said: "Brother, I know you are soft-hearted, but you also know our identities. It is absolutely impossible to take them in. You can take care of them for a while at most, and at least not allow them to stay in the sect.
Killed in the gate territory."
"Junior Brother Chen, don't blame Senior Brother Lu for being cruel. There are tens of millions of mortals. If you have to save every one of them, you won't be able to do anything at all. Once we as Taoists set foot on this road, we must forget our feelings and even forget our feelings.
"Be ruthless, otherwise how can you get a glimpse of the road to immortality, what do you think?" Senior Brother Zhan also advised, but his words made everyone around him feel uncomfortable. Why should cultivators be ruthless and unrighteous?
There was no other way, that Junior Brother Chen could only control the magical weapon, and brought the brother and sister, the young man named Brother Hu, and seven or eight other people with him. His magical weapon was an iron plate, which could easily stand up to ten people.
