Chapter 685
In the blink of an eye, it was March, when the grass was as green as smoke and the light rain was as moist as crisp. The house was almost completely enveloped in a faint purple mist. The breeze blew gently, and countless tiny petals scattered all over the ground like rain.
While Tang Xingzhu came back from rest, the two tied up the four corners of a large, clean net and spread it out, then climbed up the tree and shook the branches vigorously.
Plop la la, a shower of petals fell, and soon several large round dustpans were filled.
Dangdang and Banban happily rolled around on the ground, taking pride in the broken flowers and leaves stained all over their bodies. During the process of cleaning the petals, I walked up and down in front of the two sisters and refused to stop until they both praised them for their beautiful wine.
Then the two dogs went back to the tree and had a great time waiting for the falling flowers to hit their noses and ears.
People are bored, and dogs are bored too. They are all looking for something to do to pass the ordinary years. Dangdang and Banban have the physiques of strange beasts. If nothing unexpected happens, their life spans are within a hundred years. If they are fed elixirs for a long time, they may live longer.
However, Tang Xingzhu is not boring. She knows a lot of things while working outside.
“Let me tell you something,” Tang Xingzhu told Sang Yue during the process of washing the petals, “I heard from Wei Qingfeng that a sect will come to recruit disciples next month, and anyone over the age of three can go to Yancheng Square. Are you going to take the spiritual root test?”
“You want to go?” Sang Yue knew what she meant upon hearing this, “There is no upper age limit”
"No," Tang Xingzhu said with a smile, "I heard that this sect is very poor, and its members need to endure hardships and hard work during their cultivation..."
The ancestors were proud of their hard work in cultivation, and after Buluo ruled Xingsui, the world was peaceful and prosperous. After hundreds of years, few young people are willing to endure hardship as a motivation to make progress.
Especially for this sect, the disciples who were admitted to the sect before could not endure poverty and ran away. With its current reputation, it is even more difficult to recruit qualified disciples.
There is no upper age limit, but anyone with self-study talent can take the test.
This sect is called Wanjian Sect, and it was also called Tianjian Sect thousands of years ago. The first sect leader once wielded the Heavenly Sword to kill Nebula. His reputation was even heard by the Immortal Lords of the Qingyun Immortal Domain, who went to the lower realm to compete with him, and became the leader of the Immortal Sect in the Star Sui Continent.
The immortal king competed with them, and they were equally matched, so he proposed to use his ability to slay monsters to determine the difference.
So, the two great masters made an appointment to go to the junction of the fairy world and the demon world. That place was a snowy area, and a great demon was born at some unknown time. For thousands of years, the little immortal kings in the fairyland have come to provoke him from time to time, hoping to get rid of him quickly.
The one who escapes quickly will be saved, and the one who escapes slowly will sleep in the snowy land, and his spiritual energy will be lost.
The leader of the Tianjian Sect is ignorant of the dangers, and after being praised and praised by the world for many years, he is a bit arrogant, and he is inevitably arrogant. Although I had heard about the power of the great demon, I couldn't resist the urge to try the sword and follow the immortal king in the end.
He never came back and was never heard from again.
A hundred years later, it was widely spread that the sect leader fell into the plot of the Immortal Lord and became a tool used by the other party to kill the great demon and become famous. He died in the snowy land.
His direct disciples were anxious when they saw their master's life card suddenly exploded, and began to go to that treacherous and dangerous territory one by one to save people. The result is just like the gourd boy who saved his grandpa and never came back. The elites were suddenly wiped out and their prestige was no longer there.
The skill of the Heavenly Sword has no successor.
The Tianjian Sect is in decline, and is constantly being provoked by people knocking on the door. It is ridiculed everywhere and does not live up to its name. His disciples knew what the world wanted and were forced to change their name to Wanjian Sect in order to give their disciples a peaceful cultivation environment.
After changing the name, the sect returned to peace.
A sect that lost its reputation found it difficult to recruit talented disciples. The quality and quantity were getting smaller and smaller year by year, and in the end it even came to the point where it could no longer recruit disciples. The upper limit of age has to be relaxed, and anyone with some qualifications can get started. In a vicious cycle, Wanjian Sect's reputation became even worse, and it finally became a third-rate sect in Star Sui Continent.
What disappoints the Wanjian Sect is that the disciples they usually take back are all for the Heavenly Sword skill and are not sincere disciples. After a year or two of joining, they really couldn't find the Heavenly Sword Technique, so they all found reasons to leave the sect.
Some were even more ruthless and ran away directly. Later, they were discovered by their master in a foreign land. When they caught him and asked him the reason, the other party was very straightforward:
"Why is Wan Jian Zong called Wan Jianzong, don’t you have any idea? I’ve only been a teacher for a long time, so I decided to do this because I really don’t want to embarrass you. Why should you bring shame on yourself and get to the bottom of it?”
This was said so well that it almost made the master so angry that his heart was unstable.
But it doesn’t matter whether it is stable or not. Even the current leader is just a Nascent Soul. It is a luxury to hope that he will become possessed. What is there to worry about? Therefore, this Wanjian Sect is the easiest to enter, but it is inevitable that there will be no bright future and no hope of promotion. You must consider it carefully.
Tang Xingzhu informed Tu Qingyun and others of this news through the magic crystal. They said they would try their best to come back and see the excitement.
"Why are you watching the excitement? You obviously want to become a disciple." Sang Yue understood the intention of the friends. "Be careful, curiosity killed the cat. If the apprenticeship succeeds, you will take on the important task of revitalizing the sect. Let’s see how you cry when the time comes.”
We have been together for many years, but she still doesn’t understand these people.
It's nothing more than self-awareness, knowing that even a slightly famous sect will not recruit older minor cultivators like them. Wandering into a dilapidated sect and becoming the pillar of revitalization is a cliche plot in local film and television dramas.
"Fantasy is often beautiful, but reality is often cruel," Sang Yue advised with a smile, "You must consider it carefully."
"You must be cautious," Tang Xingzhu said very Helpless, "Wei Qingfeng and the others saw that I had this intention, and told me that Wanjian Sect could not even save the original site of the sect..."
It was occupied by the enemy clan of the Tianjian Sect Master back then. It has changed hands for hundreds of years. What's even more embarrassing is that not only the original location of Wanjian Sect cannot be saved, but a few years later, the new address was occupied again...
To date, Wanjian Sect has changed its location more than a dozen times.
"Every time I change my address, a group of disciples leave in despair. I really can't see the future." Tang Xingzhu felt disappointed, "You said those people are really cultivators. The Tianjian Sect Master is gone. This sect has declined. It's inevitable.
Why bother to kill them all at the expense of their moral integrity? Oh, yes, they didn't kill them, they just moved them around. Isn't that childish?"
" "It's you who is the one," Sang Yue spread out the cleaned petals on the round dustpan and guessed, "The reason for chasing people around is not necessarily to get angry, but to hope to find clues to the Heavenly Sword Technique..." < br>
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master’s destiny card is to explode, not to be dim.
Of course, it becomes dim after the explosion, making it impossible to guess whether the other party is dead or alive. In layman's terms, life cards rarely explode. Usually, the extinguishing of the light of life means that the person is dead.
The explosion meant that it was unclear whether the leader of the Tianjian Sect was dead or alive, so he did not dare to massacre and search for the souls of his disciples.
Perhaps, but being killed by these disciples makes people even more afraid, so they have to use bullying to force the people of Wanjian Sect to reveal their flaws. If the Master of the Tianjian Sect left any secrets, there may be traces left on the walls, floors, or trees in the yard of his new home.
Sometimes, one can secretly learn the opponent's sword skills through the traces of other people's sword practice. This was probably the reason why the enemy repeatedly waited for Wanjian Sect to settle down before starting to force them to relocate.
"Not only will your future be bleak if you join such a sect, your life may even be in danger. You really need to think carefully about it." Sang Yue sighed.
