The ancient martial arts world does have rules, and weapons are not allowed to enter.
But this does not include the financial sponsors who come to spend money and have to climb the ladder to fame on their own. As they discussed before, the rich are usually lazy, and climbing the ladder to fame is basically equivalent to dreaming.
So Xiao Yunting's appearance here should be the first accident in thousands of years.
The mountain where Xuanzong was located is in the south. The climate is humid and the temperature is closer to spring, so the extra grass and trees in the forest are all fresh and tender green. The ground is full of small flowers in the shade of bamboo forest. Even the path up the mountain is built to be secluded and delicate, making people feel as if they have accidentally entered a fairy mountain.
Wu Heng, who was following silently behind, felt something was wrong.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? You look so grumpy." The youngest who was walking side by side with him was in a good mood. When he turned around and saw that he had a gloomy face, he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Wu Heng pursed his lips upon hearing this, "It's uncomfortable here."
"Huh?" The youngest opened his mouth, looked at the beautiful scenery all around him, and his eyes widened in confusion. "You're not comfortable in a fairyland like this, brother? Are you looking for the place where the gods live?"
Wu Heng: “…”
The scenery of the fairy mountain is rare in the world and it does look like a palace in heaven, but that is not the point.
Only Ye Lan, who was walking in front, knew what he was feeling awkward about. Without even turning his head, he calmly reminded him, "The previous leader of the Xuanzong clan was the direct disciple of the Medical Immortal."
Hearing this, Wu Heng suddenly raised his head, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
Ye Lan could understand his surprise. After all, the sect he was going to take the exam for was related to the Medical Immortal. Even the living environment was so similar. For a young man who wanted to escape from the fairy mountain, it was indeed a bit upsetting.
but--
"Hmm?" She turned her head, her watery eyes meeting the gaze of the man beside her, and asked in a light voice, "What's wrong?"
Apart from Wu Heng, Xiao Yunting also looked at her at the first moment.
Hearing this, he frowned and said meaningfully, "I just remembered something the Medical Immortal said in Jiaodou Tower."
talk?
Ye Lan suddenly remembered that the other party and the old man had indeed stayed on the top floor for half a month. It was impossible that they had no communication during that period, but as for what they said... the other party did not mention a word.
"What do you know?" she asked bluntly.
Xiao Yunting didn't hide anything and said truthfully, "The previous Xuanzong clan leader was the most talented of all his disciples. His beloved disciple died a few months ago, and he announced that he would not accept any more disciples in the future."
These were all things the old man said when he was talking to himself, and they are not difficult to find out.
As for other aspects, he didn't believe it, so he didn't reveal it.
He was also unwilling to use words to test the truth of certain things. As he had said before, he would only listen when Ye Lan was willing to speak.
Ye Lan didn't ask anything, but he had a plan in mind. He was thinking of telling Xiao Yunting the truth after returning to the sect. Although the matter sounded incredible, it was not that difficult to understand in the ancient martial arts world.
Walking up the path, they reached the halfway point and finally saw the true appearance of Xuanzong Mountain Gate.
It turned out to be a complex of bamboo buildings.
The outer wall of the main gate is surrounded by a fence. Passing through the spacious courtyard, cobblestone paths on the ground lead in all directions, forming a Bagua formation leading to scattered bamboo buildings.
There are bamboo buildings of different sizes, all decorated in an antique style. There is a winding corridor in the middle, and at the back you can vaguely see the beautiful scenery of rockery, flowing water, green leaves and lotus flowers.
"Oh my god, this is so beautiful!"
The youngest child stood in front of the door and looked out. He was dazzled by the scenery inside and subconsciously took a step to go in. When his footsteps were about to touch the threshold, he was pulled back by someone.
"Little brother, there is a formation in the inner yard. If you can't break it and enter by mistake, you will be unconscious for half a month on the spot." The security captain who stopped him reminded him seriously.
The youngest was startled and quickly retracted his foot, "So powerful? How did you know?"
"..." The security captain poked at the fence next to the bamboo building, "There's a notice over there."
Notice?
The youngest then looked at the fence on the other side of the doorplate. There were a lot of people standing close together there, blocking his view. He walked over and saw a sign at the back with the assessment steps written on it.
"Hey, you're blocking the way here and no one can see you. Are you trying to trick us?" He felt a little dissatisfied when he remembered that he almost broke in by mistake before, and questioned the people who were blocking the way.
Those people were discussing something with their heads down. Upon hearing this, they looked up at him and said nonchalantly, "You are not qualified to take the test anyway, so why are you yelling here? Don't bother us here."
The youngest child paused, remembering that he could speak when he reached halfway up the mountain, but there was a red mark on his throat, which was almost recognizable at a glance as a sign of disqualification.
But this does not mean that he will not be affected by the formation when he enters the yard.
Therefore, he was indignant, but he knew that he was too weak to win, so he rolled his eyes and immediately walked over and kicked the opponent on the butt.
"Ah! How dare you hit me!" The other person looked like a martial artist. He turned around and glared at him, his fists making a crackling sound.
Seeing that the other party was about to attack, Xiaoer immediately stretched out his finger and pointed to the other side, "Do you know who they are? Do you dare to touch a hair on my head?"
Standing over there were Xiao Yunting and his group.
The other party secretly glanced over and saw that Xiao Yunting and the others were indeed looking in this direction, and there was no intention of distancing themselves from the matter. He was startled and turned around and bowed to apologize to Xiaoer, "I'm sorry, we weren't paying attention just now. It wasn't intentional. Let's vacate the seat immediately."
His attitude has changed 180 degrees from just now, which can be called Sichuan Opera face-changing.
The youngest finally nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, alright, I'm a magnanimous person and won't bother with you. Just don't let the people behind you get cheated."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and walked back with a swagger.
And everyone here can see everything.
"He joined Beidou Sect?" Xiao Yunting suddenly asked.
Ye Lan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xiao Yunting shook his head and retracted his gaze, commenting briefly, "He's suitable to be the leader of Beidou Sect."
Sect leader.
Ye Lan raised her eyelids to look at him, and happened to meet his gaze. After the two of them understood each other, their tacit understanding became better and better.
It was originally a taboo to talk about other sects' affairs without authorization, especially a large sect, but -
"I agree." A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was clear and light with an aura of calmness, almost on par with Xiao Yunting who was in a higher position, as if deciding the next leader of the second largest ancient martial arts sect in just a few words was just an ordinary thing and not worth being surprised about.
In fact, this idea has always been in Ye Lan's mind since he met Yaoer.
Beidou Sect is a sect where all its members are strong and unyielding. Its extraordinary fighting power is a very good sharp blade. The youngest child is cunning and may not be able to stand out.
However, his cleverness, his ability to leverage others' strengths and his cunningness are very suitable for the management and planning of Beidou Sect, and Xuanzong can also completely return the property to avoid future rifts.
