Zhong Ling was selected by the Taiyi Sect to join the Jiantian Division and became the chief arrester of Xiangzhou. Naturally, he had some foresight.
She noticed that Lin Ji frequently looked at the depressed-looking climbers, so she asked, "Is Lin Youxing wondering why these climbers are working so hard?"
Lin Ji nodded calmly and said: "I am indeed a little curious. After all, I have only walked three to five hundred steps. Even if these people who go up the mountain are just ordinary people, they will not be so tired."
While he was talking, not far ahead, several people who had gone up the mountain together fell to the ground, gasping for air.
"Because these are young people who want to join the Taiyi Sect. There are formations on the stone steps. If ordinary people with no cultivation come to climb the mountain, they will bear several times the pressure. If they can climb up, they will naturally Someone led them in." Zhong Ling explained.
"So simple?" Lin Ji was a little surprised.
Is it too childish for a dignified leader of a Taoist sect to accept disciples so easily?
Zhong Ling shook his head and said: "Brother Lin also saw it along the way. Very few people even walked up to the three to five hundred steps, and there are a total of 2,400 steps on this mountaineering road."
"And even if you go to the mountain, you are only an outer sect disciple. If you want to be trained in the sect, you still have to go through several years of assessment, and everything from qualifications to character is indispensable."
"That's it." Lin Ji suddenly realized.
While they were talking, Lin Ji and others were walking faster and faster.
Along the way, they passed countless ordinary people who were working hard to climb, and faced their admiring eyes all the way up.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they could already see the huge archway at the end of the mossy stone steps.
Further up, the climbing road suddenly became clear and widened several times.
After passing the archway engraved with the words "Tai Yi Men", what you see is a majestic hall. The pillars outside the hall are carved with obscure patterns, which makes people feel dizzy just looking at it.
The door of the main hall is closed tightly, separating the left and right roads. You can often see the Taiyi Sect disciples in green clothes passing by in groups of two and three, chatting comfortably.
From time to time, acquaintances would meet each other, and they would tease each other and say goodbye.
"Hello, Senior Sister Zhong!" Someone greeted Zhong Ling and cast curious eyes on Lin Ji and the others, "Which senior brother and sister from which sect are these here?"
Zhong Ling quickly waved his hand at the talkative disciple: "They are guests in the door and must not be rude."
The disciple's expression froze when he heard this, and he quickly bowed to Lin Ji and others.
"The junior has lost his etiquette, I hope the senior will forgive me."
After saying that, the disciple left in a hurry without waiting for Lin Ji and others to respond.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji suddenly remembered that Xu Dingtian had mentioned yesterday that many young talents from sects had been guests at Taiyi Sect recently.
Zhong Lingze explained: "Recently, Taiyi Sect has invited young colleagues from Jiuzhou to compete and compete, in order to let the younger generation see more of the world. The disciple just now regarded several of them as visiting disciples of other sects."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Ji waved his hand and said he didn't need to care.
"I'll take a few people to stay first. Senior Brother Xu is already waiting."
Under the leadership of Zhong Ling, several people crossed the main hall and entered a corridor along the road on the left.
After passing several attic buildings with a height of more than ten meters, they walked up the mountain for a while before stopping on a mist-shrouded platform halfway up the mountain.
Lin Ji looked at the vast platform for a few times.
In the distance, where the end of the platform connects to the mountain, the sharp cliff looks a bit sharp.
"The noble sect seems to have cut away the entire mountain to build this platform." Lin Ji sighed.
Zhong Ling smiled and said, "Guests often come to Taiyi Gate, and the space inside the gate is not enough, so the seniors opened up this place and built hundreds of villas to entertain guests."
"As expected of being the best in the world." Lin Ji gave a rare sincere praise.
Earlier, he talked about being the best in the Taiyi Sect, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
But when he actually arrived in this sect, saw this developed mountain full of holes, and saw those huge buildings that were awe-inspiring just by looking at them, Lin Ji felt that this Taiyi sect was the best in the world. , really worthy of the name.
This is just the Taiyi gate being exposed outside for others to see.
Lin Ji could hardly imagine the depth of this sect.
After waiting for a moment, Xu Dingtian hurried over.
"Brother Lin, Miss Zhong, this little master, please come with me."
Xu Dingtian was wearing a white gown at this time. His long hair was tied up with a hairpin at the back of his head. He carried a long sword behind his back. The gown danced as he walked. He really had the temperament of an independent and elegant young man.
In contrast.
Lin Ji also had long hair, but it was gray and withered and hung loosely on the back of his head. The sword hanging on his waist made a noticeable sound when he walked. He had a small bundle on his shoulders, which always seemed to be in a hurry.
The robe on his body was fine, but it was wrinkled, and his chest was bulging as if there were a lot of gadgets stuffed inside.
Only looks great.
Originally, Lin Ji didn't care much about this.
But Zhong Xiaoyan didn't know when she got close to Lin Ji. After getting close to him, she lowered her voice again, with a look of worry on her face.
"When will you change this outfit?"
After saying that, Zhong Xiaoyan moved a few meters faster and opened a few meters away from Lin Ji.
Lin Ji keenly noticed that Zhong Ling looked back at Zhong Xiaoyan provocatively.
As he thought about it, he immediately understood the reason, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
He was actually disliked!
Isn't it just a little sloppy? Wouldn't it be nice to be more free and easy?
With some resentment in his heart, Lin Ji and others were quickly led outside a small courtyard.
Xu Dingtian stood at the door of the small courtyard and made an invitation gesture, saying: "During my time in Taiyimen, I have wronged Brother Lin to stay here."
"There is nothing wrong with him. Brother Xu is too polite." Lin Ji cupped his hands and walked into the small courtyard to take a look.
Then he discovered that there were only two wing rooms here.
Before Lin Ji could ask questions, Xu Dingtian said again: "There have been many guests in the house these days, and this small courtyard is the only one left. Fortunately, Brother Lin and Xiaomei Zhong are Taoist couples, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to live here."
Lin Ji was immediately choked up with one sentence.
He looked at Zhong Xiaoyan subconsciously, and saw that Zhong Xiaoyan blushed slightly, but she didn't say anything, and instead moved closer to him.
After careful observation, he discovered that the distance between Zhong Xiaoyan and him was almost the same as the distance between Zhong Ling and Xu Dingtian.
They are all sisters. Is this the end of the rivalry?
Lin Ji was speechless, but it was not easy to undermine Zhong Xiaoyan, so he could only acquiesce.
At the same time, Xu Dingtian took out another booklet and handed it to Lin Ji.
"This is a copy of the Qiankun in the Sleeve. As long as you don't bring out the Taiyi Sect, Brother Lin can comprehend it for as long as you want."
Lin Ji took the pamphlet and saluted Xu Dingtian again.
"That's it, thank you very much."
