Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

The dawn had not yet arrived, and everything was quiet and silent. At six o'clock in the morning, several Taoist priests from the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan came downstairs. Their leader was Li Mingyuan. When he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw the scene of Qin Su jumping down. His preconceived ideas suddenly burst like bubbles and turned into smoke.

Qin Su said through telepathy, "Pretend not to know me. This time I want to test the ability of this batch."

As a person of the highest seniority, and having been given guidance before, Li Mingyuan naturally followed and said, "Our mountain gate will open at eight o'clock. You must arrive at the mountain gate within the next two hours. This is one of the challenges."

Several Taoist priests handed out whistles, and each person was given one. He explained: "If anyone among you wants to quit or give up, please blow this whistle."

After completing the distribution, everyone turned around and left, lifting their robes.

Tao Lele suggested seriously, "How about we move forward together? Collective action can enable everyone to help each other and help each other when encountering difficulties." During last night's action, Tao Lele's sense of authority gradually grew, and people seemed to begin to regard her as a leader.

Everyone is driven by the crowd effect. When they get together, they feel confident and express their agreement.

"That's right. In fact, it only takes half an hour at most to reach the summit from here, but Shangqing Sect provides us with more than two hours. There must be other challenges waiting for us on this journey." A girl suggested. Such discussions made others firmly believe that they would not fall behind.

Qin Su and Guo Jingwen did not care too much about this, but started their journey straight towards the mountain.

Qin Su moved quickly and soon caught up with and approached Li Mingyuan and his group.

Li Mingyuan and his little **s saluted her respectfully and called her the honorific "Elder" in unison.

Qin Su nodded slightly and looked at them with a subtle smile, "Have you set up a forbidden magic circle covering this mountain?"

In response to Qin Su's question, Li Mingyuan replied, "It took several of our elders several nights to set up. We were not trapped in there continuously, it just lasted for an hour." Obviously, this test mainly tested their resilience and psychological endurance in the face of adversity.

"In that case, how about I come to help out? You know, although strength is great, quality is equally important. My success in the late Jindan stage has given me more possibilities."

Some people tried to take out their smartphones to navigate the route, but were shocked to find that their phones had no signal reception and the clocks were fixed at six in the morning - the time they had just set out.

In an environment where time and path are unknown, the waiting time seems to become unusually long, making people deeply appreciate the significance of the length of time.

Whenever there was a miserable roar or cry for help from a wild beast deep in the forest, these chaotic sounds intertwined in the air, amplifying the fear and anxiety in one's heart many times.

Therefore, the calls for people to give up are growing in this chaotic moment.

But some people remain calm in the face of adversity, thinking that this is all part of another test. They understand that the struggle between reason and fear is inevitable, and as time goes by, anxiety begins to surge in their hearts. They even begin to wonder: Has the time exceeded the stipulated time? Can they pass the test? Is there any trick to pass it smoothly?

Groping in the **, turning aimlessly in the vast sea of ​​fog,

-

Tao Lele and a girl named Tang Zhuojia rested temporarily against a towering tree. The two separated from the others, leaving only each other. "How long will it take us to get through this fog?" Tang Zhuojia said with a pale face.

Tao Lele shook her head and responded: "I can't answer that either, but we can keep moving forward."

She took a deep breath and began to move forward firmly. At this moment, in the white fog, she unexpectedly saw the shadows of familiar figures - Qin Su and Guo Jingwen.

Even though he didn't like these two people, Tao Lele still wanted to say hello, hoping to increase his chances of survival.

Just as she was about to step forward to say hello, she suddenly heard the conversation between Qin Su and Guo Jingwen.

"I have a cousin in the Maoshan Sect, and they said they will only select two female Taoist priests this time."

Guo Jingwen asked: "Are you sure?"

Qin Su said confidently and firmly: "There will be no problem. That cousin will not lie. He is the bloodline designated by the leader of my ancestor, the Maoshan Sect."

At this time, Tao Lele and Tang Zhuojia stopped and looked at each other, thinking to themselves, "Only two people were selected. The probability is really very low."

What they did not realize at this time was that the so-called entities of Qin Su and Guo Jingwen that appeared in front of them had no real facial expressions, only a flat wall-like appearance.

---

Li Dong was at the position of the head, staring at each broken sound, each of which indicated the elimination of a person.

At this time, the headmaster stood here and observed all this, and the young Taoist priests behind him exchanged glances unconsciously. Everyone thought that the headmaster not only had a unique hobby, but also created a dream that confused the challengers who were in it.

For example, when a team is trying to find each other, they witness someone being swallowed by a ghost in the next moment. The drama of this scene is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

For example, a virtual old woman appeared and asked them for help. When the task was completed, the old woman gave them a pot of tea. When they tasted the tea due to extreme hunger and thirst, they found that it was dark red.

Overall, this batch of admission selection was the most difficult process in the past few decades. They were glad that they had avoided such bitterness by being admitted a few batches earlier.

As the date approached, the list of failures grew larger and larger. Of the more than 100 people who came initially, only 18 made it to the mountain gate. Whether it was Little Meat or Guo Anjing, they were both among the few who arrived earlier.

Just three minutes before eight o'clock, Tao Xiaoxiao and Tang Zhuoya supported each other and walked forward, making up a group of 20. Their steps were shaky, as if they had sprained their feet.

Looking at the spotless Qin Zisu, tears rolled down her cheeks. With slightly red eyes, she looked at Qin Zisu and Guo Jingjing and said, "Why did you push us away?"

"I only remember that we met you on the way and greeted you happily, but you pushed us all off the road without any scruples. We sprained our feet. I don't think it is legitimate to succeed in this way." Tang Zhuoya's face was full of anger.

Everyone present looked at Qin Zisu and Guo Jingjing with some doubt.

Qin Zisu, who was blamed, replied with a smile: "Are you sure it's the two of us? No, there are other possibilities?"

Tao Xiaoxiao, whose tear glands were welling up, rolled up her sleeves to show the scars underneath. "Did we make a mistake in identifying the person? I will never lie to anyone, otherwise we wouldn't have delayed until this time."

Guo Jingjing said calmly: "I have never experienced what you described, and I don't think using this trick is a desirable method."

Tao smiled and said, "That's why you don't want to admit the truth. The two of them joined forces to achieve their goal, which is to eliminate the extra challengers. Wouldn't it be better to compete fairly instead of using such means?

Li Dongxi's face twitched slightly and said, "Oh, yes, it seems you chose the wrong target. That is our Maoshan sect elder, Qin Zisu."

At this moment, Tao Xiaoxiao and Tang Zhuoya, who were crying with tears streaming down their faces, were shocked into speechlessness.

They all noticed that the young Taoist in a Taoist robe was extremely respectful to Qin Suo. "Grandmaster, there are eighteen people who have passed the second level." This sentence excluded Tao Lele and Tang Zhuojie from the list, making them more certain of their identities, and they began to look at the two girls with doubts.

They respected the authentic seniors so much and had a decisive influence in the church, so why would they go to such lengths to wrong the younger girls who had not yet entered the sect? The people at the scene were not ignorant people. At this moment, they understood that Tao Lele and others had obviously set up a trap to perform. Their eyes were full of contempt, and they even involuntarily hid a few steps away from the two. When they thought about how they had just easily accepted Tao Lele's words, many people felt a sense of guilt, which aroused their strong disgust towards the two. Since most of them were still in college, they maintained a certain degree of pure heart and were extremely disgusted by such behavior.

Qin Suo responded nonchalantly, "Although they were not morally correct, they did not leave the sect too early. But since they finally made it back to the outside of the sect, they have passed the second level. Leave them here for now so that you can remember them." After a pause, Qin continued, "Some of the 'characters' you saw are just phantoms, used only to test your willpower. Please do not worry about the safety of others."

Qin Suo generously gave away talismans to encourage those whose fears were too strong and were comforted. In doing so, she also made sure that they gained something and did not leave empty-handed.

The two people standing here as dummies - Tao Lele and Tang Zhuojia's expressions were sometimes pale and sometimes green, and their hearts were filled with complex emotions. Tao Zhuojuan's eyes, although not obvious, seemed to contain a little anger. In fact, at the beginning, she was somewhat opposed to doing this, but unfortunately Tao Lele kept urging her, causing her to nod in agreement on impulse. At this time, she found that the two were being attacked by a group of people. She regretted it very much and even hoped to leave the top of the mountain as soon as possible so that her face could be hidden and protected.

Qin Suo's lips were always filled with a gentle smile. She looked around, and her calm and calm words were like the breeze in the mountain stream, which refreshed the people present. "I will be responsible for the next and last level. Whether you can join the sect is up to me."

At this moment, he recalled what he had said last night, "Whether or not one can be selected to join the sect depends on the choice of the Taoist masters." Those who were already familiar with this matter showed subtle expressions on their faces; and Tao Lele's face was already seriously red and swollen. They all felt humiliated in their hearts and hoped to find a crack to escape.
