As one of the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance, and even the most knowledgeable sect in the entire cultivation world about refining instruments, it is also a magical sect that can supply most of the cultivation world's magical instruments with its own strength.
During the three hundred years since the establishment of Mo Shuang Mountain, it has always maintained a closed-door policy and refused visitors. This group of immortal cultivation craftsmen are very solitary and seldom communicate with the outside world .
This made many monks who wanted to devote themselves to Mo Shuang Mountain feel very regretful.
However, their regrets were recently ended.
The news that Mo Shuang Mountain was going to hold a talent selection ceremony had spread throughout the cultivator world more than half a year ago.
Although Mo Shuang Shan did not make it public, it only released the news through some of its own channels, and specifically stated that it would not accept high-level cultivators, nor would it invite anyone to watch the ceremony.
He didn't even report it to the Immortal Alliance, he was extremely low-key.
They just wanted to recruit a group of unpolished and talented disciples who had just started practicing to serve as backup for the sect's upcoming major operation, and they had no intention of advertising it at all.
But it still sparked enough enthusiasm.
The most obvious manifestation of this craze was in the early morning of that day, on the mountain road leading to the Mo Shuang Mountain Sect, on the misty hillside.
Even though the Mo family had not yet shown up, there was already a bustling crowd beneath the closed mountain gate.
Good guy...
On the 999-step mountain trail that was usually quiet and deserted and covered with moss, there were at least two hundred people standing there. At a glance, most of them were low-level monks with spiritual light around them.
Only a small number of them are mortals with no sense of existence.
Last night, not everyone went to chase and block Jiang Xia.
Lao Jiang did not kill every guy he met ruthlessly.
Therefore, after a night of chaos, the number of people from afar who were able to arrive at the mountain gate before noon and wanted to join the Mo Shuang Mountain Sect was still quite considerable.
The most important thing is that many of them have been waiting in the small town at the foot of the mountain for several months, just waiting for today to come, to ask for a chance to become an immortal.
As for the group of people closest to the mountain gate.
Just by looking at their postures, one could tell that they had probably been sleeping on the ground in the mountains for several days.
But here’s the thing…
Things like cultivating immortals are never based on first come first served. It's all about fate. And what about the gate of Mo Shuang Mountain in front of me?
Very grand.
But also simple.
At the end of the 990 moss-covered, crooked mountain steps, there is a white jade platform that is 100 meters square, connected to a stone gate that is 33 meters high.
There are not even any complicated carvings, and no dragons or phoenixes.
Only on the white jade plaque at the mountain gate, there was a big "Mo" character written with very obscure and strange talismans.
Not to mention the magnificent or simple and noble mountain gates of other sects in the Immortal Alliance, even the mountain gate of the local Sanque Mountain is more impressive and more exquisite than this simple place in front of us.
I have to say something different.
Perhaps it is because behind this overly simple mountain gate, there are always clouds and mists gathering all year round, just like a misty sea of ​​clouds, covering the entire upper half of Mo Shuang Mountain tightly without leaving a single gap.
In the past, there had been brave monks or mortals who had entered the fog.
But without exception, nothing was gained.
During these three hundred years, apart from a few guests , and mortals like Liu Ruyi who already had connections with Mo Shuang Mountain, few people truly knew the secret realm behind the sea of ​​clouds.
No one knew how Mo Shuangshan, with only more than 30 people, could satisfy the entire cultivation world's terrifying demand for various standard magical weapons.
It is this kind of bizarre and a little outrageous legend that adds so much mystery to Mo Shuang Mountain.
"There is still a moment until Chenshi!"
Someone in the crowd shouted:
"Everyone, please don't crowd. We are all here to seek immortality, not to visit the market! What's the use of crowding together? It will give the Mohist immortals the impression that we don't know the rules.
All of you disperse!
Spread out a little, this door jade platform is so big!
Enough for everyone to stand apart.”
There is some truth in what this man says.
But no one listened to him.
The crowds were still bustling, blocking the two sides of the trail closest to the mountain gate, as if when the noon hour came and the mountain gate opened, those who were closest to it would have the best chance of getting immortal.
Look carefully.
In fact, not everyone was looking forward to the opening of the gate of Mo Shuang Mountain. Outside the exquisite and majestic white jade steps, there were also some monks with obscure auras.
Or some ordinary people with great temperament.
They did not join the crowd, but waited leisurely on the outskirts.
Anyone who has a little understanding of cultivation should know that even an ordinary small sect has to prepare several tests when accepting new members. As Mo Shuang Mountain is an official sect among the 33 sects of the Immortal Alliance, the rules are even more stringent.
They also said it in advance.
As long as you reach the mountain gate before noon today, you will have a chance to enter Mo Shuang Mountain. It doesn't mean that the one who runs the fastest will definitely be able to join the sect.
Obviously, Mo Shuangshan had already prepared for this talent selection ceremony.
"Later! Then someone else came!"
I don’t know which one has the loud voice.
At this moment, he noticed that there were changes on the mountain road behind him where no one had come, so he shouted at the top of his voice, which immediately attracted the attention of many people and attracted them to the jade platform behind him.
Sure enough, on the quaint moss-covered mountain path, there was a petite figure limping and crawling up the mountain.
She's a girl.
He doesn't look very old.
But there is also a spiritual aura around him, and he is a cultivator.
It's a pity that she looks so miserable now. Her originally decent long skirt is torn to pieces, and there are blood stains on her arms and legs. Her cute and well-behaved bun has also become like a mad woman in her misfortune.
That round face was covered in blood, making it look like a miserable little mud monkey.
Her legs seemed to be injured, and she walked awkwardly and in pain. I don't know how this girl managed to walk up the 999 steps.
The people from the immortal sect have cast a spell on this mountain path. Unless your realm is higher than the realm of seeking the way, you have to walk up step by step and honestly.
No matter how powerful the means of transportation is, it is useless.
But the girl’s suffering is not the point!
The point is that even though she was in such a mess, she still held the thing tightly in her left hand...
It was an exquisite jade pendant that was constantly shining with a faint light!
Even from a distance, the sentient monks could feel the extraordinary nature of the jade pendant.
The closer the girl got to the mountain gate, the clearer the connection between the jade pendant in her hand and the immortal sect hidden in the clouds before her became.
The tightly closed mountain gate, which was supposed to open at noon, was tall and majestic, and engraved with Mohist talismans. It began to rumble as the girl approached.
It seemed like it was about to open in the next moment.
"It's the Mo Shuang Seal!"
Someone else shouted:
"The rumor is true! There is a Mo Shuang Mountain disciple seal that has been lost. If you get it, you can enter without taking the test! It's the one in her hand!"
Faster than the exclamation came seven or eight figures rushing out from the crowd.
Like a predatory hawk, it swooped down on the frightened, slovenly girl from several directions.
The Bait Rabbit girl held the disciple seal tightly in her hand. She was now exhausted to the extreme. A whole night of seduction and pursuit had drained all her energy.
After all, she was just a young cultivator who had just started practicing Qi.
But at this moment, seeing seven or eight people rushing towards her, the round-faced girl did not show any fear on her face. Instead, she shouted as if to warn:
"Don't!"
"Don't come over here! There's something behind... don't come near me!"
pity.
Just like last time.
Her reminder came a little late.
"Da, da, da, da"
A strange sound came from the clouds in the forest below along with the dancing light rain.
Accompanied by the bait rabbit's skilled screams, covering its ears and head and crouching in defense, seven or eight figures pounced on her, and the moment they came into contact with the light spot, they turned into a blood rain flying all over the sky.
Flesh and blood turned to mud.
No exaggeration.
This scene immediately silenced the crowd that was ready to make a move. Even some low-level monks who wanted to take action forced themselves to stop readying themselves to attack.
The clouds and mist behind the mountain road dissipated with the smoke.
Soon, a tall figure appeared on the mossy mountain path. She was a stunning woman wearing a black dress, long hair, black-framed glasses, and walking like a cat.
As the smoke dissipated, he walked over to the bait rabbit girl who was squatting on the ground with a pale face.
With a gentle fake smile, she stretched out her slender jade fingers in front of the bait rabbit. The girl squatting on the ground, with a look of pain and reluctance on her face, placed the jade pendant in her palm.
It's like returning the property to its original owner.
The woman who got the jade pendant did not leave immediately.
She whispered something to the round-faced girl squatting on the ground. The girl stood up reluctantly, but followed her obediently , limping towards the jade platform in front of her.
But at this moment, the true identity of this stunning woman who appeared so cool had been seen through by the monks among the crowd.
She is just a female cultivator who has barely reached the Qi training stage.
Although she is beautiful.
But just based on this face, is she qualified to get the status of an inner disciple of Mo Shuang Mountain?
What a joke!
This is cultivation!
It’s not a beauty pageant!
The moment Ruyue stepped onto the jade platform, another cultivator who could no longer bear the desire in his heart finally stood up. This time the attack was even more terrifying, with magic tools, spells, and weapons.
The spiritual energy was stimulated in an instant, and it rushed towards Ruyue, trying to crush her completely.
However...
It's useless.
Because Ruyue didn't come alone.
She had anticipated all this and had made full preparations.
"boom"
A strong wind suddenly arose, causing mortals to stagger to and fro. Following a distant wolf howl, a terrifying black shadow leaped out from the dead silent forest.
The beast's claws swung, creating green blades of light. The criss-crossing claw marks tore through the air, smashing all the attacking things into pieces.
There was another strong wind blowing.
The monks who had just attacked were all grabbed out of the crowd by a strange hooded guy who moved as fast as the wind.
Along with the teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking, there was a chorus of wailing, and the next moment, it returned to silence with a few short screams like chickens being slaughtered.
Ruyue seemed not to see what was happening in front of her.
While the demon beast at the demon general level, which had been hiding its aura, was wreaking havoc, she still walked towards the crowd with graceful steps.
The silent crowd made way for her.
Just like parting the waters of the sea.
Amid the silent gazes of the crowd, some curious, some scrutinizing, and some hostile.
At the end of Ruyue's cat-like walk, beside the stone table at the edge of the jade platform at the mountain gate, Lao Jiang was frowning and placing a black chess piece randomly on the chessboard.
Before, no one paid attention to this place.
In the face of the impending immortal opportunity, no one would take the initiative to waste time and come over to watch the bad chess player play chess.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what kind of lousy move are you making?"
Ma Tishu, the third chess player sitting opposite him, complained in dissatisfaction, thinking that competing with a guy like Jiang Xia was an humiliation to his chess skills.
"It's just a game of Gobang, and you're so cocky."
Lao Jiang snorted and complained back unwillingly. He stretched out his left hand nonchalantly without looking back, but still stared at the chessboard with a frown.
Ruyue leaned over and gently placed the jade pendant in the boss's palm.
for real.
Return the property to its original owner.
"Why are you taking so long?"
Lao Jiang asked casually.
Ruyue looked back helplessly, brushed her long hair, and said to the boss:
“It took some time to ‘persuade’ this stubborn girl on the way.
She is very smart and cunning. Since she couldn't find you, her boss, she started using the seal to deliberately cause trouble for me in the second half of the night in an attempt to get rid of me.
But fortunately, Liu Hui helped and finally "persuaded" her to help.
She was very 'righteous' and chose to help us and bait the job, and she did a great job."
"come over."
Ruyue straightened up and said to the embarrassed round-faced girl behind her:
“Say hello to the boss.”
Jiang Xia also turned around and glanced at the timid round-faced girl behind him. When the latter saw Jiang Xia's face, she shuddered violently, lowered her head and dared not look again.
Obviously, Lao Jiang’s previous “performance” really scared her.
"I noticed before that you are not from here."
Jiang Xia looked at the girl's blue eyes. No one in Fengming Country looked like that. He said:
"Where are you from, girl?"
"West...West Sea."
The round-faced girl lowered her head and whispered:
"I was at the inn in Linhai City and ran into the same group of people. They said they wanted to try their luck at Mo Shuang Mountain, so I followed them to join in the fun."
"Um?"
Lao Jiang frowned and said:
"Don't your parents care about you? Just let you run around like this?"
"I have no parents."
The girl lowered her head even more and said in a sad voice:
"I haven't had one since I was a child. I had a master, but he died. I have nowhere to go."
"Still pretending!"
Jiang Xia said coldly:
"If you keep trying to be clever, I'll feed you to the monster! Tell me the truth, who are you? What are you doing here?"
"whispering sound"
The girl's thoughts were exposed and she bared her little fangs in dissatisfaction.
She raised her head, plucked up her courage, put her hands on her hips, and used the handkerchief Ruyue gave her to wipe the blood off her face while reaching out her hand towards Jiang Xia.
explain:
"You said before that you would reward me as long as I ran to the mountain gate, bad guy, now give me the reward!"
“Boom.”
The girl had just finished speaking.
The tightly closed Mo Shuang Mountain Gate behind him opened little by little with a roar. At this moment, all the smoke and clouds covering the road ahead suddenly gathered like a giant beast swallowing.
It was like the illusion was gone.
In just a few breaths, the scenery behind the mountain gate appeared in front of everyone amidst millions of dancing lights.
The hour of Chen has arrived.
The Mo Shuang Mountain Talent Recruitment Ceremony has officially begun!
