Work hard for the shadow guard

Tomorrow morning, the sect of Immortal Sword Sect will open, and the number of visitors in Danyang Town will reach its peak.

Song Tang reserved a seat at the largest restaurant in Danyang Town early, and brought Ji Yuheng and Ying Jiu to have their last dinner in Danyang Town.

Song Tang didn't book a private room, but chose an unobtrusive seat with a good view in the lobby on the first floor. He was very excited as he was approaching his apprenticeship. After taking his seat, he kept looking around at the people around him.

These people come from all corners of the country, some are in groups, wearing uniform costumes, they should be disciples of a small sect to learn from their masters;

"Yuheng, I found that the strength of the people at several tables is pretty good. You see, especially the people in the purple clothes at the table should have started to practice, and their strength is not low. Do you think we can compare with them? ?” Song Tang was a little worried.

"It's okay, the new comparison of Xianjianzong is the cultivation talent. As long as the cultivation talent is high enough, after the enlightenment of Xianjianzong, the cultivation before the Golden Core Stage will be very fast." Ji Yuheng said, this is what he heard through a small sect , the leading elder inside said so to the new generation of disciples.

"That's right. I heard that everyone who goes to apprentice a teacher must first take a talent test. The higher the talent, the higher the number of layers of the spirit stone will be. Only those who can make the spirit stone shine can enter the next test."

Song Tang propped his chin with his hands, there are ten layers of Lingshi lighting, how many layers can he light up, his eyes unconsciously cast towards the direction of the door.

Seeing a familiar tall figure come in, Song Tang trembled in fright, Guo Xiang!

Song Tang quickly lowered his head, almost burying his face in the bowl.

"Song Tang, what's the matter with you?" Ji Yuheng followed Song Tang's perspective and looked over, it was the young master of the Guo family who met in Mo Tiancheng.

He doesn't look too young, did he just come to participate in the recruitment of Immortal Sword Sect?

Guo Xiang was followed by two domestic servants. He stood at the door and took a look, and found that the lobby was full, so he asked Xiaoer to arrange a wing room for him.

Very good!Not finding them, Song Tang let out a long sigh of relief and raised his head.

Then a baby face wrinkled into a bun, "Did you see that? That unreasonable bastard Mo Tiancheng is here too, we won't be apprentices together, right? I really don't want to meet him again."

When Song Tang saw Guo Xiang, his shoulders, which had been fine for a long time, seemed to hurt again. He was arrogant and unreasonable, and he liked to use dirty tricks to solve problems. If he met him in Xianjianzong, it would be really troublesome. Who knows if he will Take revenge on them.

"Don't worry too much. Immortal Sword Sect forbids fighting in private. If he troubles us and is discovered, he may be expelled from the sect." After Ji Yuheng finished speaking, he took a bite of fish meat into his mouth.

"I hope so," Song Tang rubbed his face, "Huh? The fish on your plate looks delicious."

Song Tang suddenly noticed that Ji Yuheng's bowl had a pile of deboned fish, which looked white, tender and smooth, overflowing with juice, while his own plate was empty.

Yingjiu always pays attention to Ji Yuheng's needs, and when he finds that the master picked up a chopstick of fish, his expression is a little satisfied.

But this restaurant cooks several whole fish together. The owner probably thought it was troublesome to pick out the fishbone, so he didn't pick it up again.

As a nine-athlete, no, eight-athlete shadow guard, Ying Jiu will naturally peel fish and vegetables for her master.

Song Tang looked at Ying Jiu, who was sitting next to Ji Yuheng, concentrating on peeling the fish. Ying Jiu deftly flipped the whole fish a few times with chopsticks, and all the bones were picked out, and the whole fish was almost intact. Didn't see how he did it.

Looking at Dongsheng next to him who was eating happily, Song Tang suddenly thought, can the gap between followers be so big?

Realizing that his master was looking at him, Dong Sheng raised his head and smiled at Song Tang: "Master, don't worry, Mr. Ji said that, when we arrive at Immortal Sword Sect, that Guo will not dare to do anything to us."

"Dongsheng, is the fish delicious?" Song Tang asked with an inexplicably gloomy smile.

"Delicious! Don't tell me, master. Although there are few rivers in the north, the taste of this small river fish is not bad at all. I wonder if it is because of the spiritual energy here."

Under Song Tang's watchful eyes, Dongsheng's voice became less and less, and he finally realized that Jia Yingjiu, who was also a follower, was serving his master's dinner dutifully, but he was not caring about his master, and he was eating happily.

But wasn't it always like this before, Dongsheng put down the rice bowl in his hand, and said tentatively: "Master, otherwise I'll peel a piece of fish for you too?"

Seeing that Dongsheng finally came to his senses, Song Tang smiled and said, "I don't know you yet, how can I eat fish until my hands are all over it?"

"Then..." Dongsheng looked at Yingjiu, wondering if Yingjiu would like to help peel a piece of fish for his master.

Song Tang also looked over at Yingjiu, why did it feel like the fish coming out of Yingjiu's chopsticks seemed more delicious?

Sensing Song Tangdongsheng's intentions, Ji Yuheng stretched out his hand to grab them in front of them, interrupting their sight, "Don't even think about it, my Ajiu can only peel the fish for me."

"Okay." Song Tang pretended to be greatly disappointed and let out a long sigh. The same person is different, and turned to look at Dongsheng who was waiting for his instructions, "Forget it, you can eat yours."

"Okay!" Dongsheng continued to cook happily, and he knew that the master was still a good master.

As for tomorrow's apprenticeship, Dong Sheng, like Ying Jiu, has an inexplicable confidence in his master. His master is very talented, and he will be a person who will make great achievements in the future. It is no problem to worship the Immortal Sword Sect.

In the early morning of the next day, the morning fog at the foot of the mountain had not dissipated, and the sun was blocked by cotton-like clouds, revealing only a vague pale yellow outline.

All the hotels in Danyang Town opened their front doors early, and the shopkeeper and Xiaoer were standing at the door, saying goodbye to the newcomers who were about to go up the mountain to learn their masters, and sending them the most sincere blessings.

"After we left, Danyang Town seemed much deserted." Song Tang looked back at the street in the morning fog.

"Wait for the next three years, Danyang Town will become lively again." Ji Yuheng said calmly, the hotel expenses, food and drink costs in Danyang Town are four or five times higher than other places, and the merchants in Danyang Town point to the Fairy Sword Sect's The Naxin Conference has made a lot of money.

After walking a short section of rugged mountain road, the four of them came to the gate of Xianjianzong.

The tall and majestic sect stands at the foot of the mountain, and the three simple and heavy characters of "Xianjianzong" are deeply carved on the top plaque, which makes people look up with respect and yearning for no reason.

There are endless stone steps behind the Zongmen. The stone steps are piled up with large and small rocks and are not smooth. They extend from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. They are engulfed by the mountain fog halfway up the mountain, and there is no end in sight.

"The Immortal Sword Sect was built on the top of these mountains, and the real sect should be at the end of the stone steps." Ji Yuheng said.

"Then let's start climbing the mountain. There are always some tests for a master to recruit apprentices. This stone step that is so high should be the first level." Song Tang was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

"Well, there are already quite a few people ahead, let's go." Ji Yuheng said.

The stone steps are built according to the mountain, steep or slow, wide or narrow, and the shape is very irregular. Along the way, many people have accidentally fallen and injured themselves.

"Eldest brother, how long is it until the end, I'm almost exhausted." A boy in a blue Taoist uniform sat down on the steps and asked the people in front of the line.

"Xiao Lin, stand up, you don't even have the perseverance to come to study, it's really embarrassing for our teacher." The senior brother stopped, turned and reprimanded.

"Eldest brother, Xiao Lin is still young and ignorant, don't be angry," a woman in front of the team comforted the elder brother next to him, and she approached the boy named Xiao Lin, "Xiao Lin, listen to Master, the stone steps of Immortal Sword Sect There are a total of 650 seven paths, and we have already walked nearly halfway, so if we persist, we will take a nap on the flat ground ahead.”

The elder brother said bitterly: "He is not young anymore, don't spoil him all the time, everyone else will follow. This section of the road is steep and the mountain is not suitable for repairing. Go to the front and rest."

The four of Ji Yuheng passed by and heard their conversation.

"It turns out that there are three thousand six hundred and fifty seven stone steps. Are we really halfway there?" Song Tang asked Ji Yuheng in a low voice.

"At most one-third of the way, the woman was just comforting the boy." Ji Yuheng replied.

"One thousand, 340 and two." Ying Jiu suddenly said a number.

"Ah?" Song Tang was stunned for a moment, "Ji Jiu, haven't you been counting all the time? It's amazing!"

Ji Yuheng was also a little surprised. Although Ajiu didn't say much along the way, when he talked with Song Tang occasionally, it could be seen that Ajiu was listening carefully, and he was able to keep counting the number of steps.

Seeing the master's admiring gaze, Ying Jiu was at a loss, "This is what a subordinate should do."

Ji Yuheng looked at Yingjiu's shy expression that didn't dare to take credit all the time, and he was in a good mood. The exhaustion from climbing the mountain just now was swept away, and he patted Yingjiu on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's continue up the mountain."

"Leave so soon?" Song Tang put his hands on his knees, cheering himself up, "I'm not tired at all, young master, and I can still climb two thousand steps in one go!"

It was close to noon when we climbed to the top of the mountain. The sun was emitting a faint light in the center of the sky, which did not bring much warmth to everyone. The temperature on the top of the mountain was cold and the wind was howling. how cold.

The main peak of the Immortal Sword Sect is located at the highest point of this mountain range. When everyone looked down, the continuous mountains were hidden in the clouds and mist. The Danyang Town at the foot of the mountain had disappeared.

"Fellow Taoists who have just climbed the mountain, please come here and submit your teacher apprentice posts."

A crisp voice came from the front square, a woman wearing the uniform of the Immortal Sword Sect was organizing registration at the door, her exquisite figure was outlined by a silver-white belt, and a layer of snow-white gauze outside the robe fluttered in the wind, The elegance and agility of a cultivator stand out.

"Come on, let's go and register." Ji Yuheng said.

"Let's go!" Song Tang agreed, and hurriedly pulled Dongsheng over, "This fairy-like female fellow Taoist should be our senior sister."

Dongsheng knew that his master's habit of looking at beauties had fallen again, and he did the same thing to the two young masters in front of him. Fortunately, his master only admired them and never acted frivolously or indecently. to be interrupted.
