"Is it her? Why is she here too? Shouldn't she be recovering at home?"
Dugu Gaojie looked at the weak figure in the team, puzzled, and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Uncle Dugu, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Junhao felt something strange about Dugu Gaojie and couldn't help but ask.
"It's the little girl named Shiqi yesterday. She's here too, and she's in front of you," Lonely Gaojie said.
"Her? Isn't she injured? How can she still come to participate in the selection? Uncle Dugu, did she come on her own?"
Xiao Junhao also asked with surprise when he heard this.
"I didn't see her father, she should have come by herself," Dugu Qing'er said.
At this moment, the door of Xiandao Pavilion slowly opened, and then, a Taoist in green walked out of it...
"Stand up, stand up. The four assessment elders will be here soon. Get ready. You only have one chance. Little guys, you must seize it!"
The Taoist in Qingyi stood in front of the team with his hands behind his hands and said with a faint smile.
"Wow! It's about to begin. It's about to begin. It's great. I'm finally going to become a great immortal."
"Yes, yes! I heard that you can live forever if you become an immortal. When I become an immortal, I want to take my parents here to live with me."
"Stop dreaming, you think the sect is your home!"
"That's right, I don't know whether I can pass the test or not! I'm just daydreaming here."
"Hahaha…"
…
A group of little ones were whispering excitedly below, causing bursts of noise!
"Quiet! No noise!"
The Taoist priest in Qingyi suddenly shouted coldly, and the crowd suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
At this moment, four streaks of light suddenly appeared on the horizon, flying rapidly from different directions. The crowd below looked up at the sky, their eyes widened, and they all looked shocked and surprised.
The four streams of light flew very fast, reaching the sky above Xiandao Pavilion in almost the blink of an eye, and then four figures appeared in the void...
The four figures were wearing different Taoist robes, they were all old men, and they all looked like immortals.
"Haha! Elder Sikong, Elder Nangong, Elder Zhuge, we haven't seen each other for two hundred years. How are you doing?"
An old man in blue among the four raised his hands and smiled.
"Fellow Taoist Murong, I'll be polite."
Another old man in gray clothes bowed his head and said politely, and the old man in purple and green clothes next to him also returned the bow and bowed his head.
"I haven't seen you for two hundred years. I didn't expect that Fellow Taoist Situ's cultivation has become more and more advanced. It's really beyond our reach!"
The old man in blue, Elder Murong said with a sigh.
"Fellow Taoist Murong is joking. My current cultivation level is probably not as good as that of Ping Tao!"
The old man in purple clothes, Elder Situ said calmly.
"Let's see! Among the four of us, Taoist friend Zhuge must have the highest cultivation level!" Elder Nangong, the old man in gray clothes, looked at the old man in purple clothes beside him and said.
"We are all old acquaintances, so don't be polite here. The children below are still waiting for our assessment! Let's go!" Elder Zhuge was as calm as water. He didn't even look at Elder Nangong. He finished speaking indifferently. Be the first to lower the clouds.
"Let's go down too!" Elder Situ looked at the other two people and also went down. Elder Murong didn't say anything, nodded and followed closely.
"Humph!" Elder Nangong snorted coldly and followed him leisurely.
"Look! The immortal has descended to earth!"
"Haha! I really saw an immortal. May the immortal bless our family with good weather!"
"Wow! An immortal has really arrived! I want to tell this good news to my old mother who has been ill for a long time. I hope she can get well soon. May the immortal bless me!"
…
The elders of the four major sects all appeared in Xiandao Pavilion, which made the whole Taiwu City boil. Everyone who saw it kowtowed and worshiped. Even the chiefs of the two major tribes, Shangguan and Nangong, were also paying homage. Mortals can only meet them in their lifetime. It is not a waste of time to visit such a fairyland.
"Junior Ximen Liang, I have met four seniors." The Taoist in Qingyi in front of the Xiandao Pavilion quickly bowed and saluted when he saw the elders of the four major sects coming.
"Yes! Forgive me! Go ahead and start the assessment immediately. The sect is busy with affairs, so we must do it quickly!" Elder Situ said calmly.
"Yes! Junior, go right away," Ximen Liang responded respectfully, and then retreated.
The elders of the four major sects entered the Xiandao Pavilion and each entered a secret room. Situ Liang, who was responsible for assessing order outside, began to shout loudly: "The four elders of Tiandao Sect, Wansheng Pavilion, Lingyun Sect, and Taixuan Dao Sect have arrived. The assessment begins!"
The secret chamber doors of the elders of the four major sects are all engraved with the corresponding sect names, and Situ Liang's task is to guide the candidates into the secret chamber of the sect they want to enter.
The four major sects have their own different assessment methods and standards. In addition to the same qualification requirements for everyone, the Tiandao Sect's Tiandao methods focus on comprehension, so Tiandao Sect assesses comprehension.
The Wan Sheng Pavilion cultivates the Wan Sheng Dao Jue, which focuses on soul strength. Therefore, the Wan Sheng Pavilion mainly assesses the soul strength of the candidates.
The Lingyun Sword Sect mainly assesses the physical spirituality of the candidates, because the Lingyun Sword Control Technique of the Lingyun Sword Sect is the compatibility between practicing the immortal sword and the physical spirituality. The higher the degree of compatibility between the two, the easier it is to practice to reach the level of the human sword. The highest state of unity.
As for the Taixuan Taoist Sect, the ancient Taixuan Taoist scripture that once shocked the five regions has declined, but no one still dares to deny its power. As for why it declined, it is said that no one of the descendants of the Taixuan Taoist sect can conquer the Taixuan Taoist sect. The ancient Taoist scriptures have been practiced to a higher level, and the Taixuan Taoist sect mainly assesses the meridians, which must also be related to the techniques.
As Situ Liang announced the start of the assessment, the four teams entered the secret room in an orderly manner to accept the assessment.
Dugu Gaojie stood outside the team, watching Xiao Junhao and Dugu Qing'er, feeling somewhat inexplicably nervous for these two little guys.
"Little brother, are you afraid? I suddenly feel a little nervous." Dugu Qing'er turned her head and whispered to Xiao Junhao.
"What's there to be afraid of? Just don't take it seriously. The more nervous you are, the more likely things will go wrong. Trust me, it'll be okay," Xiao Junhao said nonchalantly.
"Yeah! That's right. I'm just curious about how the assessment is conducted," Dugu Qing'er said.
"Hahaha! I passed the test, I passed the test, yeah!"
At this time, a little boy who entered the Tiandao Sect's assessment, who looked about seven years old, walked out of the secret room with an excited face and a white jade tablet in his hand.
"Don't make any noise, just wait outside," Situ Liang scolded.
When the boy heard this, he did not feel scared. Instead, he quickly covered his mouth and walked out of the gate of Xiandao Pavilion. The little ones around him cast envious glances.
Not long after, two children, a boy and a girl, came out from Lingyun Sect and Wan Sheng Pavilion. They both looked to be about four or five years old. They also had a different jade tablet in their hands.
Everyone once again cast their envious eyes on the two children. At the same time, the little ones were also in great spirits. Not long after the exam started, three sects passed the exam, and they all felt that they would definitely succeed. pass……
However, the subsequent assessment situation was not so ideal. Tiandao Sect passed two people and eliminated ten people, Wan Sheng Pavilion passed three people and eliminated nine people, Lingyun Sect passed three people and eliminated twelve people, while Taixuan Dao Sect still had three people passed and nine people eliminated. No one passed.
The assessment has been going on, but the little ones have become worried, because the further the assessment goes, the lower the chance of passing.
"Look, another one came out. She actually passed successfully."
At this moment, someone suddenly whispered, and everyone looked intently, only to see a little girl walking out of the secret room of Wansheng Pavilion...
The little girl looked to be about four or five years old. She blinked with a pair of smart black eyes and looked at the people who were still waiting for the assessment. She had a delicate and cute little face like a porcelain doll with a faint blush.
"Huh? She actually passed the assessment. Is she really okay?" Dugu Qing'er looked at the little girl and murmured in a low voice.
"Miss, who are you talking about?" Xiao Junhao asked, standing behind Dugu Qing'er.
"That's the little Shiqi from yesterday!" Dugu Qing'er said.
"Oh! Yesterday she was seriously injured and dying. Today she came to run for election and passed. It's strange," Xiao Junhao said.
"It's a little strange, little brother, why do you think this is?" Dugu Qing'er asked.
"I don't know," Xiao Junhao said simply.
Xiao Shiqi didn't notice Xiao Junhao and Dugu Qing'er in the team. She took the jade token and went outside to wait.
After the assessment passed for a while, it was finally Dugu Qing'er's turn...
Dugu Qing'er entered the secret room of Wansheng Pavilion and saw Elder Murong sitting cross-legged on the futon in the secret room with his eyes slightly closed. On Elder Murong's chest, there was a piece of jade emitting a hazy white light floating on the jade. There were Dao patterns on the jade. The dense cloth reveals a mysterious meaning.
"Come here, kid, put your hand on this Nine Heavens Soul Jade, focus on it, don't be distracted," Elder Murong said calmly, still closing his eyes slightly.
When Dugu Qing'er heard the words, she didn't dare to speak. She walked tiptoe to Elder Murong, and then put her hand on the Nine Heavens Soul Jade as he said, focusing all her energy on staring at the Soul Jade.
At this time, I saw the Jiutian Soul Jade shining with light, the Dao lines flowing, and a faint shadow appearing from Dugu Qing'er's body...
"Well! It's not bad. The soul strength is just right. You passed. Take this jade token and wait outside!"
Elder Murong nodded with satisfaction, and then a light flashed in his hand, and a jade tablet with two ancient seal characters engraved on it appeared in his palm, and then he handed it to Dugu Qing'er.
Hearing this, Dugu Qing'er happily took the jade token, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Immortal."
The little girl was overjoyed for a moment and didn't know what to call her, so she casually called Immortal. After hearing this, Elder Murong opened his eyes for a rare moment and said with a smile: "Immortal? Haha! It's interesting, go ahead!"
Dugu Qing'er kowtowed again and then walked out of the secret room happily.
"Little brother, hee hee!"
Just when she was about to pass by Xiao Junhao and tell him that she passed the assessment, Dugu Qing'er suddenly froze...
"Miss, is it you? You must have passed the exam, right? I knew you could do it. It's my turn!" Xiao Junhao heard Dugu Qing'er's voice and said.
Hearing this, Dugu Qing'er remembered the course of the assessment and didn't know what to say to Xiao Junhao for a moment. She could only sigh inwardly. She didn't expect such a coincidence. Could it be God's will?
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Junhao asked when he saw Dugu Qing'er was silent for a long time.
"Oh! No...it's nothing. I passed the test. Little brother, let me send you in!" Dugu Qing'er said, but at this time, she couldn't be happy anymore.
"Yeah! Okay" Xiao Junhao nodded.
Just when Dugu Qing'er was supporting Xiao Junhao towards the secret room, everyone else cast strange looks. Only then did everyone realize that Xiao Junhao was blind and could not see anything. No one had noticed it before.
"It turns out he's a blind man, haha! It's ridiculous that a blind man is running for election."
"Yes, yes, a blind man still comes to join in the fun. He is really humiliating himself."
"Haha! Even a blind man wants to fly into the sky."
…
Many people were talking, especially some older children, who were ridiculing Xiao Junhao unscrupulously. Even Situ Liang, who was maintaining order, frowned at Xiao Junhao, but did not stop him.
"You... are disgusting..." Dugu Qing'er turned to glare at them and said angrily.
"Forget it, little sister, don't worry about them, just pretend they don't exist," Xiao Junhao said.
"But they are obviously here! That's too much, huh!" Dugu Qing'er said.
"Let's go! Ignore them," Xiao Junhao advised.
Dugu Qing'er supported Xiao Junhao and entered the secret room of Wansheng Pavilion...
"Huh? Why did two people come in at once?" Elder Murong asked with his eyes slightly closed.
"I... Immortal, it's me, I'm here to send my little brother," Dugu Qing'er said timidly.
Hearing this, Elder Murong raised his eyelids, glanced at Xiao Junhao, then closed his eyes slightly and said, "You can go, just let him stay."
Dugu Qing'er wanted to say something, but Xiao Junhao pushed her and motioned for her to leave. Dugu Qing'er then left the secret room and went outside to wait with Dugu Gaojie.
"What? How could this happen? Then Xiao Junhao wants to... Is this God's will? Xiao Junhao, it's my uncle who is sorry for you..."
Outside Xiandao Pavilion, Dugu Qing'er told Dugu Gaojie the details of the assessment. After hearing this, Dugu Gaojie looked shocked and disappointed, but more importantly, he blamed himself.
In the secret room...
"Little guy, since you are blind, why do you want to be selected as a disciple of our sect?" Elder Murong asked calmly.
"Grandpa, are you a cultivator?" Xiao Junhao did not answer Elder Murong's question directly, but asked back.
"Huh? You little kid, you still know about cultivators? Yes, your elders told you, right?" Elder Murong asked in surprise.
"Well! Grandpa, the patriarch, said that I can also practice, so I'm here. Grandpa, can I learn cultivation from you?" Xiao Junhao said innocently.
"Oh? What's your name? Who is your clan leader?" Elder Murong asked.
"My name is... Fang Junhao, and my grandfather, the patriarch, is also named Dugu." Xiao Junhao suddenly remembered Dugu Shi's instructions and quickly changed his words.
"Fang Junhao, Dugu... Hmm! Your name is good, but did your grandfather, the patriarch, tell you that you can't run around if you can't see? You'd better go back! Such a big thing as cultivation is not suitable for you" Elder Murong He directly issued an eviction order and said.
When Xiao Junhao heard this, his heart sank, and he said unwillingly: "Grandpa, how can you know that I am not suitable without trying it? Although I can't see, I can feel everything in the outside world."
"No, you are wrong. Eyes are one of the souls of a cultivator. Without eyes, your future soul will be incomplete," Elder Murong said calmly, still closing his eyes slightly.
"Then, grandpa, my eyes can still..."
"No, even if it can be cured, no sect is willing to spend a huge price to cure a low-generation disciple whose future is not promising at all, with congenital eye disease, unless you can cultivate to the small perfection state, but the premise is, You can survive the realm ahead, but will others give you a chance?"
Elder Murong interrupted Xiao Junhao before he could finish his words.
After hearing this, Xiao Junhao was silent for a long time, and then said with a disappointed expression: "In that case, grandpa, please excuse me."
After Xiao Junhao finished speaking, he turned around and left on his own.
"Wait!" Elder Murong suddenly shouted.
"Now that you are here, let's test the strength of your soul! This trip is not in vain," Elder Murong continued.
"Okay, just follow what grandpa said!" Xiao Junhao said in despair.
Elder Murong stretched out his hands, held them up in the void, and the true energy flowed. Xiao Junhao only felt his body floating forward uncontrollably, until he came close to the Nine Heavens Soul Jade, and then slowly fell down.
Elder Murong placed Xiao Junhao's hand on the Nine Heavens Soul Jade, and then inserted a spiritual talisman into the Soul Jade. Immediately, the Nine Heavens Soul Jade Dao patterns flowed, and the light shone brightly, even more intense than before...
At the same time, the Dao pattern symbols on the Nine Heavens Soul Jade jumped away from the Soul Jade, and then started to rotate around Xiao Junhao.
Elder Murong's eyes suddenly opened and he stared at Xiao Junhao in front of him. At this time, Xiao Junhao's whole body was covered with white light. A figure that looked like a real person appeared from Xiao Junhao's body. That figure looked like Just like Xiao Junhao, the only difference is that the figure's eyes are shining, just like a real person...
