Junior brother, stealing the show is risky!

"Since everyone has arrived, let's go." Director Hong also looked around and said with satisfaction.

Yan Qiu was standing beside him at this time, and the other 12 people were opposite them.

"For this trip, recruiting disciples is the most important thing. Since you came here on your own initiative, I don't care about your personal affairs, but you must not hinder everyone's schedule, and you must not do anything that will damage the majesty of the sect." Manager Hong said it again in a cold voice, but when no one made a sound, he turned around and took out a scroll from his pocket.

When he turned around like this, his back was turned to the rest of the disciples, but Yan Qiu could see clearly beside him.That thing looked like an ordinary picture scroll, but after taking it out, I didn't know what to do. I saw that the unrolled scroll kept getting bigger and bigger, and soon turned into a two-foot-long brocade.

Yan Qiu took a look, and some of the people on the opposite side were surprised, but some seemed to be seeing it for the first time, and their expressions remained unchanged.

"Let's all come up." It was obviously not the first time Manager Hong operated this scroll, and he waited until it was fully unfolded before calling everyone up.

After hearing the words, Yu people walked into the scroll one by one, and when they stood still, there was still a gap of nearly two feet in front of them.Manager Hong nodded slightly at Yan Qiu, and the two walked up together.

As Director Hong threw out a talisman and then drove the scroll, the brocade rose slowly as if consciously.At the beginning, you can still see the vegetation and flowers on the ground. As it rises higher and higher, you can only see that the whole land is shrouded in white mist.

"Uncle Hong, there are so many people on the scroll, can you support it?" Yan Qiu became dizzy after taking a look. Mentally challenged.

"Xiaoyan thinks that I am maintaining the energy of this scroll?" Hong Zhenqing couldn't help laughing when he saw his worried expression.

"Isn't it?" Yan Qiu was taken aback again. All the magic tools that could control objects and carry people in the books he had read were all driven by cultivators with their own spiritual infusion. OK.Could it be that the magic weapon of Xuandongmen is more mysterious?

"Haha, no wonder the headmaster said that he would let you come out to experience it. Although most of the magic tools in the world can be driven by their own spiritual power, there are also many magic tools that have been handed down for a long time that can rely on the power of talismans-this scroll is not small. , if you want to use spiritual power to use it, I am afraid that the head and the two elders will do it together." Director Hong said even more proudly, this scroll has not even been used by the head.

"I see." If he hadn't seen him so relaxed just now, Yan Qiu would have helped him a long time ago.Unexpectedly, a talisman that he casually cast was so powerful that it could support the scroll.

"This talisman is also left by the head of the previous generation. There used to be no lack of great powers in our school who had enlightened on the immortal way. It's just that the opportunities have become more and more difficult to find hundreds of years ago, and their realm has stagnated for many years. Don’t move forward. Xiao Yan, you have outstanding aptitude and practice hard, and you will definitely be able to promote the Xuandong Gate again in the future.”

With the clouds and mist lingering under his feet, Hong Zhenqing felt a little emotional in his heart.He was thirteen or fourteen years old when he started, but looking back on 50 years now is just a snap of his fingers.Although I know that my physique is limited, I am afraid that I will not be able to advance to a higher level of cultivation in this life, but every time I think of what the head master said at the beginning of the beginning, it seems that there is still a glimmer of hope.

Xianzu had already expected that there would be many changes in the journey of cultivation after a thousand years, and his skills back then have not been completely passed down.There are still many places in the Xuandong Gate where the letters and spiritual artifacts of the ancestors are scattered, just waiting for someone destined to inherit from the gate to inherit and seal the immortal again.

There are even rumors that most of the people who have achieved success in the past thousand years have received some inheritance from the immortal ancestors, but they don't know it yet.

If he told this passage to Yan Qiu, Yan Qiu would definitely think that this is the treasure that the male protagonist in "Shang Shen" got first.But he didn't say it, and Yan Qiu only pretended to be concentrating on what he said just now.

After that, both of them were silent, only Jinbo shuttled back and forth in the cool breeze.Until the sun rises, the clouds under the feet also dissipate.At this time, the continuous mountains and forests were no longer on the ground, but villages and houses began to appear.

"Xiao Yan, let's go down." Because Yan Qiu took the initiative to get close, Manager Hong was also willing to explain more to him.

"Uncle Hong, are you here so soon?" Yan Qiu was a little surprised. He remembered that Shanghe Village was hundreds of miles away from Xuandong Gate, and the speed of this scroll was not fast.

"How can it be so fast, but after using it for too long, the power of the talisman is almost exhausted. Let's go down first, and catch up with the rest of the way, and we will be there tonight." This is not the first time Manager Hong has gone out for business. It has already been carefully planned.After rushing to Shanghe Village, the children's qualifications were first tested, and those who were suitable were accepted first, and then went to other villages the next day.

The scroll landed very smoothly, and after everyone walked down, Manager Hong put the scroll away again.In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he deliberately chose a wilderness.Looking at the sun at this time, he quickly chose a direction again.

Yan Qiu silently gave him a thumbs up. He really deserves to be the chief manager, and his outdoor survival skills are really full!He secretly moved his hands and feet, but fortunately he had no symptoms other than a stiff neck.However, the other disciples were not as physically fit, and several of them turned pale.

But at this moment, there was nothing he could do except give him a look of sympathy.

Director Hong's sense of direction was really good, and after walking for about two quarters of an hour, they entered a town.If it weren't for the stone tablet marked in front, Yan Qiu couldn't believe that a town could be so deserted—there were no gatekeepers outside the city gate, the houses were only one person tall, and most of them were covered with thatch.

"Xiao Yan, you've never seen a house like this in 22 City, have you?"

Yan Qiu shook his head. Although everything related to City 22 in his mind was like watching a movie, it obviously had nothing to do with such a scene.In comparison, there is simply another world of luxury.

"Let's find a place to eat first, and then buy a carriage and drive on our way. We set off early today, and it's still early." It was almost noon at this time, and Hong Zhenqing, who was in the middle stage of foundation establishment, had the highest cultivation level among all the people here.He may have Bigu Dan on him, but obviously he will not waste it at this time.

Yan Qiu naturally has no objection, in fact he is more inclined to food than bigu.But obviously there is no chance here, so Hong Zhenqing randomly found a shop with the word "Inn" hanging crookedly and walked in.The group sat at two tables, and he ordered a dozen or so vegetarian dishes without hesitation.

Yan Qiu had no choice but to swallow, and shook his head subtly at the menu he handed over.

After dinner, he inquired with the innkeeper, and Hong Zhenqing led him to the livestock market.This is not only for their convenience, but also for bringing new disciples with them on the return journey, so it cannot be omitted.

An hour later, they set off in two newly bought carriages.Naturally, other disciples would do the driving. This time Hong Zhenqing and Yan Qiu sat in the carriage, resting their minds.

Shanghe Village is backed by mountains, but in front of it is a stream that never dries up all year round.The first time Xuandongmen accepted disciples here was just passing by by chance hundreds of years ago.Unexpectedly, the few disciples from Shanghe Village were the best among the disciples of the same generation. The headmaster sighed that the people of Shanghe Village are outstanding, so he made a decision to go to Shanghe Village every time he beckoned for disciples. .

When the carriage stopped, there were already several old people waiting on the road.Director Hong and Yan Qiu walked down first, and several old people were about to kneel down.

"Immortal, you are finally here again..."

Director Hong and Yan Qiu rushed out of the way and helped them up again.The gift of kneeling can't be accepted casually, it must be paid back, or one's own blessings and opportunities will be broken.

"Several please come up." Hong Zhenqing waved his sleeves, supported them secretly, and said: "If you are willing to enter our school, you can bring all the children under the age of 14. I will arrange for them to test their spiritual roots now, as long as their qualifications are not bad. If you have a fairy fate, you can enter my sect."

The old man thanked him again and again, and shouted for the middle-aged man behind to bring the baby over.

For ordinary people, the word "immortal" is very attractive, let alone children in the village can't even eat enough.Being taken away by the "Immortal Taoist Priest", the child has a way out.

Yan Qiu could understand their excitement, but when they called the child over, they felt something was wrong.

He clearly remembered that seventy or eighty children were tested in Shanghe Village.According to their test method, the five elements in the male subject are weak, which is really an inferior qualification.It was because he was very determined that he was reluctantly accepted into the outer sect.

Director Hong also had some doubts in his eyes: "Is there only so many children?" They recruit disciples once every five years, so it stands to reason that there are not so few children in this village?

"That's all, yesterday there was another fairy sect that wanted to recruit disciples, and they have taken away more than 20." One of the old people said.

More than 20... Hong Zhenqing's face darkened, which sect is ahead of them this year?If so many have been taken away, it means that the rest must be of extremely poor qualifications.

"In that case, Dingping, let's test them." Anticipating that there would be nothing to gain here this year, Hong Zhenqing handed over the matter to another young disciple.

Yan Qiu was also terrified when he heard it, and asked in a low voice: "Old man, did your village take in a beggar child this month?"

The old man nodded and said: "Someone helped a child, but he also left with those immortals yesterday."

Yan Qiu was almost suffocated, and asked again: "The old man, do you still remember which sect it is?"

The old man shook his head, and seemed to be talking to himself: "What sects do immortals have? I have never seen sects..."

Yan Qiu stood dumbfounded for a moment, and Wen Dingping had already finished testing the children.

"How is it?" Hong Zhenqing asked in a low voice.

"They were all picked away, and there are only three single spiritual roots that can detect weak ones." Wen Dingping looked at his face and lowered his voice.

"Ask them if they are willing, and if they are willing, take the three away!" Since I came here, I naturally couldn't leave empty-handed.

So Yan Qiu's first trip to find the male protagonist failed.
