Chapter 214 Mountain Gate

In the first year of the Dao calendar, Xu Xuan came to this world for the twenty-eighth year.

The Dao sect opened its gates for the first time to recruit disciples.

There are five counties at the foot of the mountain, with a population of 300,000. This time, there are about 35 places.

The time of opening the gates will not be fixed in the future.

The county town at the foot of the mountain.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the market is bustling with people.

The stable environment shapes a prosperous city. Compared with the previous world, or even the world before that, such a city is not even ranked.

But in this world, the development is already good.

The Dao sect has a temple in the city, and the temple has a Thunder Hall, which is responsible for slaying demons and eliminating monsters; and there is also a Jishi Hall, which is responsible for curing diseases and saving people. Relying on these two skills, it has gained great prestige among the people.

The Thunder Hall is deserted, which represents peace in the world; the Jishi Hall is sparsely populated, which symbolizes fewer disasters and diseases.

After the initial busyness and the current leisure, this place is no longer a place for Taoist disciples to earn merit. The greatest merit is to cut down mountains and destroy temples, which is also the most dangerous. Most people still do simple good deeds.

Cure diseases and save people, exorcise evil spirits, kill ghosts and so on.

Crash!

At this time, a sound of breaking air was heard outside the door.

Everyone in the hall went out and saw that it was the eldest brother Minghao.

Minghao was suspended in the center of the city.

Boom!

A thunderous sound resounded through the world.

Attracting the attention of the whole city.

"The Taoist sect is recruiting disciples. The day after tomorrow, those who are interested can sign up!!"

As soon as these words came out, the wind and clouds surged.

The whole city was in an uproar.

Minghao did not stop and continued to the next city within the influence of the Taoist sect.

The mountain was in an uproar because of this matter.

"Have you heard? The Taoist sect is said to be recruiting disciples!"

In the restaurant, everyone was talking about it.

"That is to become a god, just like the youngest son of Wang Lizheng's family."

"North of the city? I, an old man, want to give it a try, what if I succeed?"

The dignitaries, peddlers, and even beggars on the roadside in the city were eager to try, thinking that the gods would take care of them.

For a time, the five counties were shocked by the news.

Groups of people began to make preparations to go to the north of the city to try their luck.

After all, this is a god, who doesn't want to be a god?

Before the date, almost all topics focused on the Taoist disciples.

After dinner, or in any tavern, people talked about this matter.

Outside the restaurant.

A ragged man leaned against the wall, listening carefully to the conversation of everyone.

This person looked like a beggar, but his clear eyes and straight chest made people think that he was just a little sloppy.

As he listened, he unknowingly came to the vicinity of Jishitang and saw those gods who were just like normal people, and the people's love for them.

There was a bookstore not far away. The bookstore did not sell other books, but only Taoist classics. These were compiled by Fu Tonglong and guided by Xu Xuan. This was the method of implementing the concept of self-cultivation from the three views to governing the country and pacifying the world.

Since the Taoist sect opened its mountain gate to recruit disciples, there has been a long queue of people buying books recently.

"Brother, can I borrow it?" The man shamelessly found a younger-looking man.

Taking the classics handed over by the young man, the man flipped through them quickly, and others thought he was joking.

Just as he was about to get angry and snatch it away, the man returned the book first.

"So that's it."

Bai Fa sighed. He didn't expect there to be such a system. It was really... whimsical.

It was a very difficult, even impossible task, and even had to be an enemy of the world.

But this feeling of being an enemy of the world was really interesting.

Bai Fa made up his mind to become a disciple of this sect to see if they were the same as he imagined.

The next day, the time had come.

A huge crowd of people rushed to the foot of the mountain outside the city.

It was really a huge crowd of people, too many to count.

Some people came a day in advance.

At least 50,000 people lined up.

At the foot of the mountain, a tall gatehouse was erected at some point.

The Taoists went up to maintain order and asked people to line up one by one.

There was an old man with a white beard beside Ming Hao, and hundreds of ferocious ghosts and gods were guarding him around.

Seeing these terrifying existences, the originally noisy people also became quiet.

"One hundred people in a batch, walk through this mountain gate, don't look back, don't return, you are qualified, and you can become a Taoist disciple." Fu Tongling's voice spread everywhere.

Regardless of gender, age, or age, they lined up according to the command of the ghosts and gods, and led to the gatehouse one by one.

They slowly approached the gatehouse.

At this time, various emotions appeared on their faces, some were excited, some were fierce, and some were confused and terrified.

Then they turned and ran away, sweating profusely.

The first batch was completely wiped out.

Someone asked them what they saw, but they couldn't describe it in words. They lost their memory of what happened at that time, as if they had a dream without memory.

Several groups of people went in one after another, but they could not get close to the gatehouse. They either stayed where they were or fled.

In less than half an hour, more than 2,000 people were eliminated.

These eliminated people did not dare to make trouble. After all, the ghosts and gods around and the gods in the sky were not a joke.

"Bold monster!"

Suddenly, Fu Tongling shouted softly, and a feather condensed in the void.

The feather shot at a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance in the crowd.

The middle-aged man subconsciously cast a spell, his hair turned dark green, and a big fireball met the feather.

The feather passed through the fireball and shot the man on the spot.

"Good!"

The crowd cheered. Even a fool knew what was going on in this scene. It turned out that someone wanted to sabotage.

Several people in the crowd flew out and wanted to escape, but were shot one by one by Minghao and others.

This time, the Taoist sect accepted disciples, which was also a way to identify the inner ghost.

Soon, it was Bai Fa's turn.

Bai Fa and the other ninety-nine people crossed the cordon and walked towards the gatehouse step by step.

During this period, he was always secretly alert, but he didn't find anything, and he went straight through the gatehouse.

He became the only one who passed the test, and then he was favored by the Taoist, reached the peak of his life, and his cultivation broke through quickly. In the face of various temptations, he remained unmoved.

Wow! !

The scene changed again.

This time it was worldly glory and wealth, but he was still unmoved.

In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Fa had a blank expression on his face, as if he was taking a walk, and went straight through the gatehouse, becoming the first person to pass the test.

He was also the calmest person in this group, and was praised as a genius.

Soon, Bai Fa's background information was spread to the mountain.

"Master, I am a little puzzled. Why do people with such a family background have a firm mind?" Fu Tongling was puzzled.

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "You don't understand. There are two kinds of people in the world. One is the one who has experienced great suffering and great difficulties, and thus has great enlightenment. The other is the one who has experienced great wealth and great honor, and has also achieved great enlightenment."

Bai Fa's real identity is the prince of a small country with a population of tens of millions and is isolated from the world.

Bai Fa is the only prince. The king loves this only son very much and gives him all kinds of worldly pleasures. Even if he wants to be king, the old king can abdicate at the first time.

In this closed environment, it is almost the highest level of enjoyment in the world in his cognition.

Despite the great material abundance, Bai Fa is not happy, so one day he ran away from home and traveled the world alone.

"But this person's aptitude is not good, not as good as Pei's daughter and Gu Fengyun."

"I don't think so. Bai Fa may achieve greater success in the later period." Xu Xuan is more optimistic about Bai Fa. For him, character may be more important than aptitude.

This trip to the Taoist sect has also yielded a lot. Not only did he eliminate the inner ghost, but he also obtained three good seedlings.

The spiritual realm expanded, the seeds were planted, and they were just waiting to take root and sprout. This generation gradually showed its potential.

The Taoist sect continued to cut down mountains and destroy temples, and the living space of Xuanlun Mountain was compressed again.

Xuan Cangtian had a murderous intention.

"Master, why don't you just do it? This Taoist master Shenxiao is hiding his head and showing his tail. I'm afraid he is a guy without any ability!"
