After the first round of testing, Luo Hong and other passers were led by disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect onto the bluestone road.
Not long after, a huge white jade carved pavilion suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
These low-level casual cultivators with little experience could not help but widen their eyes and exclaim in low voices.
The disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect who led the way seemed very satisfied with everyone's performance, with smiles on their faces.
Before he stepped inside, Luo Hong used his spiritual consciousness to scan the inside and outside of the white jade pavilion.
There are only two old men in this building, sitting on two floors respectively. The old man on the first floor has the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, while the old man on the second floor has the cultivation level of the late stage of foundation building.
After a total of more than twenty passers-by were brought into the pavilion, Qiu Changfeng cleared his throat, turned around and said to everyone:
"You will come forward one after another later. Mr. Mo will use secret techniques to detect your age. As long as there is no big difference from what was explained before, you can enter the final test."
After the explanation, Qiu Changfeng and the female cultivator in pink skirt walked up to the old man sitting cross-legged, bowed respectfully, and said at the same time:
"Mr. Mo, you're done."
"It's your duty, there's nothing to do, come here one by one."
The old man had a gentle attitude. After finishing the transfer of the skills in his body, he slowly opened his eyes and said.
It turns out that there is still this level. I asked why I just casually asked my age before. Hehe, someone is going to be in trouble now.
Luo Hong glanced at a man and a woman in the crowd calmly, and saw that the two people's faces were pale and sweat was pouring from their foreheads. It was obvious that they had something on their minds.
Naturally, Luo Hong couldn't hide the calculations of the low-level monks. He had actually discovered long ago that the two people seemed to have taken some kind of strange elixir, which made them look like boys and girls of sixteen or seventeen years old, but their actual ages were I'm afraid it's already over thirty.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a monk came forward and sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the old man.
"Reach out."
The old man said softly.
The monk had no worries in his heart and calmly stretched out his right arm.
The old man stretched out his right hand, pinched his palm and forearm a few times, and then said calmly:
"Twenty-one."
Qiu Changfeng nodded slightly, confirming that the monk had not lied about his age, and then ordered a female monk in palace attire behind him:
"Take him to the second floor."
Because someone gave a demonstration, the nervousness of the others was greatly relieved, and they stepped forward to be examined one by one.
Seemingly feeling that the old man's methods were not very clever, the cheating couple finally plucked up the courage.
Seeing a young man slowly walking forward, Qiu Changfeng's information appeared in his mind:
"Gu Le, a native of Fancheng, fourth-grade spiritual root, seventh-level Qi refining, seventeen years old."
The old man casually put his hand on the young man's stretched out delicate right arm. After squeezing it a few times, he suddenly raised his head with a stern look in his eyes.
There was only a "click" sound, and the old man used force to crush the young man's forearm.
What's even more strange is that as the boy cried out in pain, his appearance changed drastically. In the blink of an eye, he changed from a young boy with thin skin and tender flesh to a middle-aged man with rough skin.
"Spare your life! Senior, spare your life!"
His wife was shocked when she saw this and rushed out of the crowd, knelt down in front of the old man and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.
"Hmph! How dare you use such despicable means! Get out of here!"
Qiu Changfeng felt that he had lost face and couldn't help shouting angrily.
The two female cultivators behind him in palace attire immediately drew flying swords and placed them at the necks of the couple, forcing them to exit the pavilion.
"Listen to me carefully. If you lie about your age, you can be punished with a small amount of punishment and then let go. But if you can't pass the heart-questioning test on the second floor, don't blame us for being ruthless in the Hiding Moon Sect!
If anyone wants to quit now, just leave with the two of them! "
Qiu Changfeng glanced at everyone with cold eyes and warned solemnly.
The remaining casual cultivators whispered to each other, but none of them really quit.
"Is there any secret technique related to touching bones? I'm afraid he can't touch my bones."
Luo Hong's eyes changed slightly, and then he strode to the old man and sat down.
After the sudden change just now, the old man cheered up a bit, reached out and pinched Luo Hong's finger bones, and immediately said "hmm".
Qiu Changfeng frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Old Mo, does this person also have a problem?"
Okay, how dare you ignore me like this!
"No, Taoist friend, have you ever practiced the secret technique of body refining?"
The old man looked directly into Luo Hong's eyes and asked.
"In order to practice the art of gold and spirituality, I specially practiced the "Iron Cauldron Golden Body Skill"."
Luo Hong smiled slightly.
"Spiritual magic?" the old man asked suspiciously.
At this time, the woman in pink skirt gave a timely message and explained.
"Haha, I see, Taoist fellow Taoist really has a sharp eye, interesting, interesting!"
After learning the cause, the old man burst out laughing, then turned to Qiu Changfeng and said:
"Junior Brother Qiu, please take this fellow Taoist up personally."
"Yes, Mr. Mo."
Qiu Changfeng responded respectfully.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, please."
Luo Hong nodded in agreement, got up and followed Qiu Changfeng towards the second floor.
After taking a few steps, he heard the voice of the old man in his ears.
"Junior Brother Qiu, ask Senior Brother Song to ask about this person's identity."
He was somewhat cautious, but it was a pity that he met me.
Looking at the calm autumn wind ahead, Luo Hong thought to himself.
On the second floor of the Jade Building, the windows were closed and the interior was very dark.
An old man with a wrinkled face and white beard and hair sat cross-legged in front of a yellowish wood table.
There were only two candlesticks and a stack of talismans on the table. The faint flickering candlelight illuminated the white-haired old man very eeriely.
After Qiu Changfeng brought Luo Hong up, he communicated with the white-haired old man and conveyed what Mr. Mo meant.
"I know, you go down first."
The white-haired old man said expressionlessly.
"Yes, junior brother, please retire."
Qiu Changfeng bowed his hands, turned around and went downstairs.
After watching Qiu Changfeng leave, the white-haired old man picked up a talisman on the table and said in a calm tone:
"This is a heart-asking talisman that can make you tell the truth involuntarily.
I will ask you a few questions later. If you can satisfy me, you will be my disciple of the Moon Covering Sect from now on. "
"Senior, please feel free to cast the spell."
Luo Hong pretended to be happy and said without any guilt.
The white-haired old man flicked his wrist, and the Heart-Question Talisman was placed on Luo Hong's shoulder, and then the silver light flashed on.
Before Luo Hong felt anything, the other party started asking questions.
This talisman should be able to make people fall into a state of half-dream and half-awake, which is somewhat similar to the spell of ecstasy, or it can be said to be a weakened version of enchantment.
After seeing through this, Luo Hong deliberately lowered his eyelids and pretended to be attacked.
The white-haired old man's question was nothing more than Luo Hong's origin and purpose of joining the Moon Covering Sect, as well as matters about his skills and cultivation.
Luo Hong answered all the questions one by one according to the pre-determined personality.
After a moment, the white-haired old man hooked his finger, and the Heart-Questing Talisman on Luo Hong's shoulder flew back.
The power of this talisman has not been exhausted and can be used two or three more times.
Luo Hong cooperated and made a posture as if he had just woken up from a dream, looking at the white-haired old man with confused eyes.
"Fellow Taoist, there is no problem. You can go down the stairs here. After a while, Junior Brother Qiu will take you to the head hall."
The white-haired old man said in an emotionless tone.
"Thank you, senior."
After Luo Hong stood up and saluted, just as he was about to leave, he heard the white-haired old man say again:
"Fellow Taoists must know that wealth should not be exposed, otherwise even fellow disciples will have evil thoughts."
I just took out an intermediate spiritual stone and it attracted evil thoughts?
Luo Hong felt something was wrong. He looked at the white-haired old man who reminded him and looked directly into his eyes.
