A few days later, the announcement was finally issued.
As expected, it was consistent with what Ye Zhengqing said, and the "Daokao" was officially notified in advance.
And disciples who are interested in taking the exam can sign up and wait for the gathering.
Zhang Ke teamed up with Liu Zhisao, Qi Man, Sang Mu and others, and first signed up.
Then he contacted Senior Brother Chen Ze and other disciples with whom he had always been close friends.
I got drunk in a restaurant in the market at the foot of the mountain, and then waited in silence.
In the early morning of September 16th, Xinchou year, Zhang Ke was doing breakfast alone in his room when he suddenly heard three chime sounds!
——
Ding---!
——
Ding---!
——
Ding---!
Zhang Ke was shocked! Get up! Arrange your clothes! Put on your backpack!
I took one last look around the residence I had lived in for fifteen years, then turned around and left!
After leaving the door, I saw disciples coming out of each house in the courtyard one after another, nodding to each other and walking towards the outside of the courtyard.
Xu Shiwu and a group of young disciples looked at Zhang Ke and others expectantly.
Xu Shiwu knew that one day, he would leave like his senior brother.
I couldn't help but said loudly: "I wish all your wishes come true, brothers!"
Other disciples also wished success, and Zhang Ke and others bowed their hands and left.
After leaving the courtyard gate, I saw disciples from all the courtyards gathered together, like a river flowing into the sea, there were over a thousand people.
Zhang Ke and others also entered the queue. As the crowd marched, the atmosphere in the crowd was depressing!
This gathering and screening is a test for Shanmen.
After three years, most of the disciples here will be kicked out and will have no chance to practice.
And there will be several such eliminations, and no one can guarantee that they can persist until the end.
Everyone is calculating in their hearts and thinking about the future path.
Arrive at Chaoyang Square at the foot of Zuowangfeng Mountain.
At this time, there are already disciples in the mountain here to maintain order, and many disciples are standing in an orderly manner.
Zhang Ke stood in the queue, looking at the eight real people directly opposite him, and only recognized one person, Hanshuang Zhenren.
Each is wearing a purple Bagua Taoist robe and a golden crown on his head, solemn and solemn!
There are also dozens of Xiantian disciples waiting in the field to take orders at any time.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, no one came to the square to gather again.
One of the real people said a few words to several people around him.
He opened his mouth and said: "Dear Taoist disciples, I am the Lord of Tianzhu Mountain, Chi Xiao! In the next three years, you will all live, learn, grow, and test in Tianzhu Mountain, so in order to better understand each other and cooperate
, you must adapt to each other and make changes from now on!"
"Disciples below will issue personal identity tokens. The identity tokens must be tied to your body. You will use them anytime in the mountains from now on! If you lose any, apply for a replacement immediately. This is very important, remember!"
Zhang Ke took the identity token handed to him.
Looking carefully, the identity token is made of copper and is about the same size as a talisman paper, about three inches in size.
The five characters of Xiantian Yiqizong are engraved on the front from top to bottom, and two rows of small characters are etched on the back.
The horizontal writing on the top is the word "Trial", and the writing on the bottom is: Group C One, One, Three, and the five characters are slightly smaller.
But the etching is filled with gold powder, which is very eye-catching!
The entire identity token has been used by too many people and has been polished and polished without any edges or corners!
When you hold it in your hand, it feels heavy and feels great.
Zhang Ke chatted with the people around him for a while and found that the identity tokens were distributed randomly.
The identity token numbers of the people before and after are not adjacent.
After a while, I heard Master Chixiao say again: "Now obey the orders of the deacon disciples!"
Some deacon disciples stood up and issued instructions:
"Jia 1 to Jia 100 come out of the queue, follow me!"
"Jia 101 comes out to Jia 200, come with me!"
"."
"Bing 101 to Bing 200 come out, follow me!"
Zhang Ke quickly walked out of the queue and stood according to the number plate.
The deacon disciple said with a straight face: "My name is Youli. From now on, you will be under my jurisdiction. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
You Li continued: "Tianzhu Mountain is relatively far away. Now run with me and try to arrive before noon!"
After saying that, You Li took the lead and started running towards Tianzhu Mountain, with hundreds of people around him running together.
It seemed that several team leaders were competing with each other and refused to give in. Zhang Ke ran along in the queue.
The loess beneath my feet was flying everywhere, and I couldn't help but adjust my breathing.
I secretly complained in my heart: This doesn’t feel like spiritual practice at all, but more like military training for college students!
I ran gradually, but due to the different physical fitness between men and women.
Most of the female disciples slowly fell behind.
But You Li continued running as if he hadn't seen it.
Zhang Ke turned his head and looked at the panting female disciple in the distance behind him.
He whispered to the people next to him: "The female disciple behind me can't hold on anymore, please run slower!"
A person next to him also whispered: "Senior brother You Li knew he was falling behind and didn't stop yet. Could he be testing us? I'm afraid it's inappropriate if I run too slowly!"
Zhang Ke replied: "These may all be members of the same sect in the future. I want to help each other and it won't go wrong to unite! No sect wants its disciples to be indifferent to each other. This may be a test!"
A few people nearby felt moved and felt that it made sense, but they still had some concerns.
Zhang Ke said again: "I'll jog first. If Senior Brother You Li ignores me, how about you slow down?"
Several people nodded in agreement, Zhang Ke slowed down and looked at You Li.
You Li looked back at Zhang Ke, his eyes narrowed, and he turned around and continued running forward.
The few people running in front exchanged words.
He also slowed down and heard the sound of breathing behind him.
After waiting for a while, all the female disciples caught up.
Everyone speeded up again and ran like this alternately for about an hour.
Finally arrived at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.
Looking into the distance, there is thick fog, and You Li has been waiting here for a long time.
After everyone arrived, he said: "One, one, three, go and count and see if anyone is left behind!"
Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was being called, and quickly agreed.
Give orders to line up, tell how to count, and stand on one side of the line.
Then he said loudly: "Start counting from the first person in the first row!"
"1"
"2"
"99"
After all the counting was completed, Zhang Ke also reported: "100"
Then he reported to You Lihui: "Senior Brother You Li, all 100 people in Group C are here!"
You Li smiled slightly and said, "Okay! Follow me now and enter Tianzhu Mountain!"
After saying that, he took out his identity token and entered his mana.
The identity token flashed brightly, and the thick fog dispersed in front of me into a passage several people wide.
Everyone followed You Li towards the thick fog.
After walking in the fog for a while, the thick fog gradually became lighter and my eyes gradually became clearer.
All I could see was the rolling mountains in front of me, with multiple mountains connected to each other.
One of the peaks protrudes into a cylindrical shape, which may be the origin of Tianzhu Mountain.
You Li led many disciples to a mountain and said: "This is Wenguang Peak, which is one of the twelve peaks of our five mountains. It is a place of trial. There are many more places of trial like this. In the future,
You will know it yourself, now I will take you to Hanyuan Hall to activate the identity token!"
