The surroundings were silent, and the cultivators who came early were either meditating and regulating and soothing their spiritual beasts.
This day and night's journey exhausted these rookies.
The first round of tests may seem simple, just a way to find a test. However, here the Southeast Mountains must not only cross hundreds of miles of rugged mountain roads, but also beware of the attack of beasts or other practitioners at any time. The main thing is to reach the mountain gate within one and a half days. A huge test, let alone the practitioners who are not looking for the spirit beasts, even if there are, they will be tired of the spirit beast.
Dan Hua looked at the position of the sun, and calculated the hour, and asked Xiaowu on the side: "Xiao Wu, how many people have arrived?"
Xiaowu replied: "Brother Danhua, now only 25 people arrived, and many people ambush on the mountain road. Just now the brothers came to report, and on the road, there should be a lot of time to catch up. "
"Ambush on the mountain road? This group of rabbits is really more and more played." Dan Hua was surprised first, and then smiled with satisfaction. "The disciples recruited from this generation looked very clever."
Xiaowu also said: "Brother Danhua, when I just went up the mountain, I saw several people hiding in the gazebo under the mountain, and did not go up the mountain."
"Several people?"
"It seems to be eight." Xiao Wu said.
"Eight people are still so timid? Are their cultivation levels quite low?" Dan Hua asked again.
At this time, Du Wenhao came over and respectfully He Danhua said: "Brother Danhua, the report of the report that the Bird returned, and the eight people that Xiao Wu said to find another way up the mountain."
"What? It's too late." Danhua laughed.
Du Wenhao approached a little, and said softly: "They are walking ... the martial arts are here."
"What!" Danhua was shocked. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he controlled his expression and asked again: "How did they find out!?"
Du Wenhao was a little embarrassed and said: "It seems that a boy somehow took out a small fish-shaped rag doll, which should be that boy's magic weapon. After playing with it for a while, he discovered the secret path up the mountain hidden at the foot of the mountain. "
"Could it be the yin-yang fish that is the most precious treasure of the Yang family in the Holy City?" Danhua thought to himself, but did not dare to say it.
He paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and then told Du Wenhao and Xiao Wu: "You two go to the secret passage to guard. When the time comes, bring them over and I will report to the master."
"Yes, senior brother." The two of them replied, looked around, and left quietly.
[Inside the secret passage up the mountain of Oriental School]
Eight people squeezed into the narrow secret passage.
"Have you all gone in? I'm going to close the stone door!" Qianqiu shouted.
Erzhu shouted: "Okay, Brother Qian, please close the door quickly."
"Shh! Keep your voice down, Erzhu, why are you so tough! What will you do if someone hears you?" Yuan Lang hurriedly covered Erzhu's mouth.
Erzhu nodded hurriedly and opened Yuan Lang's dirty hands.
After squeezing through the narrow first half of the road, the secret passage became much wider and could accommodate three people walking side by side.
In the dark secret passage, you couldn't see your fingers, only the two pillars at the front held a torch to guide the way.
"Old Yang, why did you think of taking out your little fish and drying it?" Qianqiu patted Xian Yang on the back.
Yang Xian smiled and said: "Although I don't know how many functions the Yin-Yang fish has, my father told me that the Yin-Yang fish can turn the other side of everything."
"What does the other side mean? Is it similar to perspective?" Qianqiu asked again.
"I don't know. My father didn't tell me much. I just tried it with the mentality of being a dead horse." Yang Xian explained, "When my cultivation progresses and I have the opportunity to come home, I will Ask clearly."
Qianqiu nodded and said, "You continue."
"I just thought that for a sect as big as the Eastern Sect, there shouldn't be only one way. If they encounter a strong enemy, it will be over. So I guess they will have a way out. So I tried to use the Yin-Yang Fish to deduce it. On the other side of the mountain road, I saw a place with a different color. I never thought it was a secret passage. I walked over and found that it was indeed. Fortunately, this secret passage is not far from the stone steps, otherwise I would not be able to see it with my magic power. It’s impossible.” Yang Xian laughed as he spoke, because he discovered this secret passage by chance.
"Let's go, we don't know how far it is." Bie Ling was busy urging the two silly boys to move forward.
"Er Zhu, I will clear the way for you later." Tian Ting, who was walking in second place, patted Er Zhu on the shoulder and said.
Erzhu smiled honestly and said: "Sister Tian, how can you let your woman do such a rough job as opening a road? It's better for me to do it."
"Then ask Yuan Lang to take over for you later." Tian Ting smiled and said immediately.
When Yuan Lang heard this, he quit and said fearfully: "My cultivation level is low, I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to open a path."
"Shut up! A second-level junior magician dares to step forward! You are a big man, are you so embarrassed?" When Zeng Qiqi heard this, she ridiculed Yuan Lang, who was afraid of death.
At this time, Xiao Hu, who was walking behind, heard it and said: "Just a few more steps, everyone changes formation. I'll go in front, and you can take a rest on the second pillar."
"Listen to Brother Xiao! This is a man." Tian Ting patted Yuan Lang heavily on the shoulder.
"It hurts..." Yuan Lang said coyly.
"Keep pretending! If you keep pretending, I'll slap you!" Tian Ting threatened him.
.......
Everyone walked in the darkness for about an hour.
"Why haven't we arrived yet? If it's a dead end, we're all screwed! Then we'll have to blame Yang Xian for leading the way!" Yuan Lang sat down tiredly.
"Shut up!" Tian Ting punched Yuan Lang hard.
Yang Xian walked forward and said patiently: "When we first came in, it was still two hours before sunset. Now I estimate that we have been walking for an hour. I think we should be there soon."
"Everyone, come and look, there is light above!" Xiao Hu, who was walking at the front, shouted.
Everyone crowded up to take a look, and sure enough, not far away, there was a little light shining into the cave.
"Hurry up!" Yuan Lang urged.
When everyone came to the exit, there was a stone door blocking it.
Xiao Hu carefully pushed the heavy stone door without pushing.
"Let me help you, Brother Xiao." As soon as Erzhu saw it, he stepped forward and helped push him.
Erzhu was short, but surprisingly strong. After he pushed with all his strength, the stone door slowly moved.
"Come on, come on!" Yuan Lang shouted from the side.
Finally, the stone door was pushed halfway open, and the strong light stimulated everyone's eyes, making everyone squint.
When everyone walked out of the dark secret passage, they found many Eastern sect disciples standing in front of them.
"Alas, I thought I had escaped, but I was caught at the exit." Yuan Lang sighed and sat down in disappointment.
"Idiot, don't be stupid, it's brothers from the Eastern Sect!" Tian Ting could see clearly what the other party was wearing and kicked Yuan Lang.
Xiao Wu watched the eight people slowly walking out of the secret passage and said, "Follow us, eight of you."
Eight people blocked the stone door and covered it with some weeds before following.
Qianqiu quietly said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, we seem to have been discovered."
Yang Xian nodded and replied softly: "It seems, yes."
Everyone followed Xiao Wu through a small forest and came to small wooden doors. Xiao Wu opened the wooden door and everyone walked in. As soon as they entered, they suddenly saw a large open space and a huge camphor tree.
When I took a look, I saw a person standing under the camphor tree. It was Danhua.
When Danhua saw eight people walking in, he also walked over and asked, "Who is the boy from the Yang family in the Holy City?"
Yang Xian raised his fan and said, "I am."
"Did you use the Yin-Yang fish to discover the secret passage?" Danhua asked lightly.
"You can say that, but it's just good luck." Yang Xian said.
Danhua nodded and continued: "You are quite humble, a bit like a descendant of the Yang family. Now, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Good news first!" Erzhu said hurriedly.
Yuan Lang glared at Erzhu: "Idiot! You must hear the bad news first, and the good news must be used as cannon fodder!"
Danhua smiled: "The good news is that I want to congratulate you on passing the first round of testing."
"What about the bad news?" Qianqiu walked forward and asked.
"The bad news is that if you can't join our Oriental sect, you may be in danger of death. I wish you all the best to join our sect in advance." Danhua said it calmly, but everyone among the eight people present knew what was hidden. Danger.
If you know the secret passage and cannot enter the Oriental Sect, it is equivalent to an outsider knowing a vital secret. How can this family not kill people and silence them?
"Oh my god, if I had known I wouldn't have listened to Mr. Yang, I didn't want to..." Yuan Lang said fearfully.
"I asked you, can you have some backbone?" Qianqiu walked over and picked up Yuan Lang, "Is it difficult to join the Oriental sect?"
Danhua smiled, and then said to Qianqiu expressionlessly: "It's best this way." After saying that, he walked away slowly.
Xiao Wu walked forward and politely said to the eight people: "Everyone, please go and meet everyone in front of the mountain gate. It's getting late today."
The eight people had no choice but to follow Xiao Wu towards the mountain gate.
There is a large rock next to the gate of the Eastern Sect, which can accommodate many people. All the practitioners are meditating on the rock and recovering from their cultivation.
Danhua looked at the time and said that Xiaowu could finish the first round of testing.
Xiao Wu counted and Danhua said: "Brother Danhua, there are a total of 240 people who passed the first round of testing."
"Well, it seems that the qualifications of this year's newcomers are quite good. So many people have passed it. Xiao Wu, go and talk about it and distribute these elixirs to everyone. I will go and inform Yinyunzhi first, and they will be here next. Yanyu Hall is hosting the second round of tests." After saying this, Danhua left the mountain gate and walked towards Yanyu Hall.
Seeing that Danhua had gone far, Xiao Wu walked to the rock and announced: "Congratulations to everyone for passing the first round of 'pathfinding' test. These are my Oriental School's special Qi-Building Pills. You can take some to recover." Physical strength. Tonight, we will conduct the second round of test 'competition'." After he finished speaking, he distributed the elixirs.
When everyone heard this, they cried out. They were already tired after a day of traveling, but now they had to continue the second round of test "competition".
"Competition" sounds like a fight.
When Qianqiu heard this, he said to everyone: "Fortunately, we took the secret path and saved a lot of energy."
The other people nodded.
Yuan Lang smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Yang, otherwise we would still have the strength to fight in the second round."
When the rest of the people heard this, they looked at Yuan Lang and stared at him with disdain. This guy was really just a grassroots, and there was no place where the wind wouldn't blow.
