The years when I explored the fairyland

The martial arts performance lasted for three days.

Let’s not talk about the first day. On the second day, Chu Zhou replaced the internal strength with the Qi-eating method in the Tongmai Realm, explained the principles and precautions, and supplemented it with the basic immortal martial arts fusion, and the various methods of using magic power to use true qi.

On the third day, he talked about the content of marrow training, washing the marrow and exchanging blood, breaking the limits of the human body, and then tempering the body and internal organs. This was repeated, breaking the limits again and again, and forging the most perfect physique.

It can be said that what Chu Zhou told Yan Xiuyuan of the Tyrant Sect, he told these Tianquan County warriors without reservation.

Even more detailed and more comprehensive!

On the third day, he also encouraged everyone to ask questions. If there is anything they don’t understand, they can ask.

But after today, there will be no such opportunity!

There are those who are willing to seize the opportunity, such as the head of the Ditan Sect named Bai, who is over 60 years old, with a head full of white hair, and looks like an old farmer.

But he was the most relaxed, and actually practiced his own ground-stepping skills on the spot, as well as the ground-stepping swordsmanship, and didn't care about being leaked at all.

However, he should be said to be lucky.

Because, as a counterexample, Chu Zhou almost helped him to complete the modification of the skills step by step. Not to mention how perfect it was, but the basic framework had been built, and there was even internal strength, so there was no problem in practicing.

For the rest, it takes time to grind and accumulate little by little!

When the white old man came down, his mouth was almost grinning, and the envy, jealousy and hatred in the eyes of others were almost materialized.

Unfortunately, it was useless for them to raise their hands again, because there was not enough time.

As soon as Shen Shi arrived, Chu Zhou immediately stopped, casually perfunctorily said a few words, turned around and left.

At this moment, many people were lost, and they could clearly feel that they seemed to have lost the opportunity of heaven.

Xuanzhen Temple still provides meals. The chefs invited from the best restaurant in Baisha City are paired with the best wine, Yuye Niang, from Wanxiangzhai. However, no one likes the food!

Of course, it’s over. After saying goodnight, everyone was respectfully sent out of Xuanzhen Temple.

It is worth mentioning that because there were too many people, the apprentice ceremony, which was originally scheduled to end in three days, was extended for two more days, and it was not until the fifth day that it was considered over.

According to statistics, there are nearly 10,000 children of appropriate age who came to participate in the assessment this time, that is, more than 2,000 people are tested every day.

That is to say, the preparation is sufficient, the resources are drawn in time, and Hao Songqing is in charge, and various orders are issued in time, otherwise it will not work at all!

And through preliminary screening, there are as many as 5,000 people who meet the recruitment target of Xuanzhen Temple.

This number is more than twice the number of disciples recruited last time, and it is obvious that the qualifications are better and the candidates are better.

Many people are the descendants of the family members of a martial arts sect, and there are also the second generation of officials and the third generation of rich families.

The distribution area covers all parts of Tianquan County, and some are even from other counties.

The reputation of Xuanzhen Temple lacks a bit of the weight of time, but it is definitely thriving.

However, the number of 5,000 disciples is really exaggerated for the sect.

According to the original plan, it is enough to keep 1,000 people.

But the problem now is that it is not appropriate to kick anyone out!

Especially this group of young people came with expectations, got the opportunity, and were eliminated. It is said that they will have great resentment!

In the end, Chu Zhou made the decision that everyone would stay first, but the elimination system was still adopted.

In the end, there were about 1,000 people left, and one out of five was given an opportunity.

If a person does not work hard, has no perseverance, and does not have the aptitude for understanding, it is not anyone's fault if he is eliminated.

What Xuanzhen Temple has to pay is the various living expenses for three months to one year, but with the current size of Xuanzhen Temple, it doesn't care.

Five days later, the disciple-taking ceremony ended, and the crowd began to disperse and leave.

The official road was full of people with families and packages on their backs, and the boats on Baisha River had never been so busy.

Of course, there were still people who didn't leave.

For example, Cao Bao and Zuoqiu Tong, they took Chu Zhou's task and communicated with those sects and gangs one by one.

In the name of Xuanzhen Temple, they used the riots in Tianyuan Mansion to intimidate, anyway, coercion and inducement were used to make them stay in a state of vigilance after returning.

And they made an agreement that whenever Xuanzhen Temple summoned and delivered an order, they must respond!

In addition, with the intelligence network of Xuanzhen Temple, they made some connections to ensure that any order from Chu Zhou would be delivered to each sect and gang as soon as possible.

At this moment, everyone felt the difficulty. Looking at the record book that recorded the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple, they could only sigh.

Behind every benefit, there is a price!

Chu Zhou had to do this because he always felt that the matter of Tianyuan Mansion would make a big fuss!

And it was not only Chu Zhou who had this idea, but also Wanxiangzhai.

Zhu Xuan asked him to meet alone in order to form an alliance. The owner of Wanxiangzhai completely gave up his dominant position and was willing to follow the lead of Xuanzhen Temple.

The original words of the owner of Wanxiangzhai were that as long as Chu Zhou did not deliberately let the disciples of Wanxiangzhai die, they were willing to obey all of Chu Zhou's orders.

This is the real manifestation of a sense of crisis!

Chu Zhou naturally had nothing to say, and the two parties had reached a short-term agreement.

Of course, the end of the apprenticeship ceremony does not mean that things are over.

With more than five thousand new outer disciples gathering, it is definitely a huge pressure. They have to have something to do. It is best to devote themselves to intense study and cultivation in order to avoid trouble.

Xu Cheng and the four of them cannot be expected to receive this basic level of education. They still have to focus on minor training and must be separated.

The only ones we can count on are the outer disciples who have been practicing for nearly three years!

Of course, it is unreasonable to use their status as outer disciples to drive them, and there are no rules and it is difficult to manage.

Therefore, the three halls in the plan and the task system must be established.

And the basis of all this is the assessment of inner disciples!

…

early morning,

After the morning exercises at the martial arts arena, the five hundred and twenty outer disciples were gathered at the foot of the cliff of Songfeng Mountain.

A newly built bluestone path has been heavily stepped on and has become thick and mottled. Under the leading cliff, a hiking trail suddenly appears.

At the end of the path, the walls of the Patriarch's Hall have been carefully decorated by master craftsmen.

What is exposed is a semicircular hanging flower arch, and there are cloud pattern carvings and murals outside, which makes it look a bit more Taoist and ethereal.

When Chu Zhou first saw it, he was a little dumbfounded. His original intention was just to install a door. The main reason was that the Patriarch's Hall was leaky and unsightly!

Unexpectedly, these craftsmen really showed their initiative and did a good job, very good!

Therefore, Chu Zhou specifically asked Fan Zhong to pay extra rewards to several craftsmen.

Of course, those are all digressions, the most important thing is now, this internal exam!

This group of remaining outer sect disciples can almost be said to be hard-working and uncomplaining. For such a long time, no one has been lazy.

Therefore, the contribution points are enough, it just depends on whether you have any ghosts in your heart!

"The contribution to the mission comes first, Gu Pingchuan, you came first and set foot on this path, you are the inner disciple."

Wei Jinkui held the booklet and called the roll loudly. Gu Pingchuan responded and limped forward.

In fact, his legs and feet have healed long ago, and the body tempering effect of Xuanzhen Guanwu Dao cannot be so bad, but he still likes to walk with a limp.

According to his own words, anyone who despises his legs and feet will have to pay a heavy price.

Of course, he is also the most active person in Xuanzhen Temple in completing tasks, and his martial arts strength is not weak, so he takes the first place in this contribution.

Standing in front of Wenxin Road, he raised his head slightly and saw the end of the hanging flower arch. Chu Zhou stood there and gave him an encouraging look.

He no longer hesitated, took one step and was already on the steps.

At this moment, there were many fantasies in his mind. He seemed to have seen the scene he was most unwilling to face directly. He stood there blankly, his face and expression changing, as if he had opened a dyeing workshop.

His stagnation made the disciples following him restless.

To be honest, it is somewhat unbelievable to say that you can advance to the inner sect by climbing this mountain trail.

These old disciples are well-informed, and they don’t even know what kind of medicine is sold in the sect’s gourd?

But Gu Pingchuan stepped forward and stood there like a clay sculpture. Everyone knew that this was abnormal!

Of course, they didn't have to wait long.

As if he had overcome some difficulty, Gu Pingchuan took one step forward, and then, as if he had broken through some bottleneck, his speed became faster and faster.

In just a blink of an eye, he reached the end of the mountain road and stood in front of the hanging flower arch.

After shaking his head, his pupils focused. Seeing Chu Zhou standing in front of him, he hurriedly saluted: "Master of the temple!"

"How does it feel?"

"Falling into a dream!"

Chu Zhou nodded and asked again: "I remember that you came to my Xuanzhen Temple to seek the strength for revenge, right?"

"Yes!"

"I still remember that although many of your enemies have died, they are still alive in Red Earth City. If you want to, after entering the inner gate, go and avenge yourself!

It's not a good thing to keep it in your heart all the time. You can feel more relaxed after taking revenge.

However, be careful, don’t kill people indiscriminately, and don’t cause too much commotion. Today’s Tianquan County is my Xuanzhen Temple’s Tianquan County! "

"yes!"

Gu Pingchuan was a little dazed and a little excited. He stood there, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Chu Zhou could also understand him. The hatred of genocide was right in front of him, so it was normal for him to be unable to control himself.

Patting his shoulder, Chu Zhou said: "After you have taken revenge, look forward and don't look back.

Okay, let’s go while standing! "

"yes!"

Gu Pingchuan walked away and walked into the Patriarch's Hall to wait. On the way to Wenxin, others had already started climbing.

Some of them were very fast and reached the end in a very short time, but they got stuck at a certain step.

Some take it one step at a time, not fast but steady.

Some climbed up the stairs and then fell down again, horrified.

Some of them had curious faces and came up very quickly from beginning to end.

Xu Cheng and Yi Huai also raised their heads and looked at it for a long time, but Yi Huai was the first to speak, with a look of surprise on his face: "This question of the mind is really strange. It can actually detect people's hearts. It's really, really unbelievable."

Chu Zhou smiled and said: "The magic of the Immortal Way is far beyond your imagination. Of course, at its root, the alchemy talisman formation is the foundation. You must learn it hard!"

Originally, the four people were happy, except Xu Cheng, the other three looked worried when they heard this.

It is really difficult to cultivate the four arts of immortality without anyone to guide you, just reading books and learning, starting from the beginning!

However, the four of them also set their directions and began to study.

Needless to say, Xu Cheng mainly refines medicine and takes the path of alchemy; Yi Huai belongs to the fire element, and his magic power is also of the fire element, which is suitable for refining tools and can also hone his character.

Then Wei Fangjie chose the talisman method. Well, he is flexible in mind, but he doesn't like all four, and finally chose a relatively simple one.

And Fan Tiehu chose the most difficult one, the formation!

After setting the direction, the four are now in the stage of reading books and learning. Of course, Chu Zhou gave them a lot of support and let them put their hands on practice.

Whether it succeeds or not will be discussed later, it is also good to start first and accumulate some experience!

This sentence stopped several people from speaking, and Chu Zhou turned his attention to the road of self-examination.

In fact, to be honest, this road of self-examination cannot distinguish between spies and hidden players.

The rule of its operation is to have a clear conscience. If you have a guilty conscience, it will inevitably become a shackle and difficult to cross!

In fact, those who cannot pass are not all hidden players, but they must be people with great flaws and mental illnesses in their hearts.

These people are also not desirable and are prone to extremes!

But in the same way, hidden players are all malicious, so they will naturally feel guilty and cannot pass this road of self-examination.

Of course, if you want to say whether there are really people who are hidden players and do not feel guilty, they can directly ignore this road of self-examination?

The answer is yes!

However, these people are either mentally tough as steel, or they are really extraordinary and have their own logic. No matter which one, they are definitely talents of the demon level!

For such talents, Chu Zhou thinks, even if they are allowed to enter, what's the problem?

The immortal road is long. If they really reach a high place and look back at the past, the so-called hidden identity is just a joke.

However, such people are hard to come by!

Anyway, Chu Zhou has not found any yet, but he has found many hidden players, more than ten of them.

There are more than ten people with mental illness, dark and unpredictable minds, and violent tendencies.

After these two groups of people were cut out, there were only 490 people left, and Chu Zhou was satisfied with this number.

He carved a new silver token for each person, and then issued uniforms, swords, and keys to their houses, and finally registered them in a grand manner.

So far, they have become inner disciples of Xuanzhen Temple.

Apart from other things, Chu Zhou will receive their "Spirit Verification Method" in the future, and after testing his roots, he will learn the method of guiding qi and step into the immortal path.

In other words, they have already stepped half a foot into the immortal path.

The most significant change in life is at this moment.

Finally, Chu Zhou led everyone to burn incense and worship, and burn incense to Taoist Xuanzhen.

This inner door selection may not seem as grand as the ceremony of accepting disciples, but it is extremely solemn in this ancestral hall.

In fact, it is far more important.

When everything is done, it is time for the three major halls, the Discipline Hall, the Mission Hall and the Exchange Hall, which are necessary for the operation of the task system, to select people.

Chu Zhou doesn't care about this matter, and Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie will handle it.

Chu Zhou's eyes have passed through the ancestral hall and looked towards the direction of Baisha City.

There is still a disaster there, waiting for him to deal with it!

Forgive me, I have something to do tonight, so there is only one big chapter!
