Teacher is too tough

Chapter 142 The First Threshold

Early the next morning, Li Qingshi came to Laojun Mountain again.

He took a shower on purpose, cleaned himself up, and changed into clean clothes.

Laojunguan accepting disciples should not care about these, after all, those who come to apprentice are martial arts practitioners, and most of them don't care about trivial matters. Li Qingshi did this just to express his importance and respect for Laojunguan.

Those guarding the mountain gate were still yesterday's disciples of Laojunguan. Li Qingshi saluted first, and He Qingliu returned the salute and said, "I wish you good luck."

Li Qingshi smiled and said, "Thank you."

In the cool morning light, climb the mountain.

He Qingliu watched his figure walk away on the mountain road, curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not a blind date, why do you dress up so well? Can you dress up better than me?"

Brother Taoist came behind him at some point and kicked him: "Where did you dress up? Clean yourself up, this is the most basic courtesy."

Glancing at Li Qingshi's back, he raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter how you dress up, you can't compare to you? Doesn't it feel unconscionable to say that?"

He Qingliu laughed dryly, obviously acknowledging this in his heart was ignorant of his conscience, but he wouldn't admit it even if he was killed, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "It's broken!"

The Taoist brother was taken aback: "Surprised, what's wrong?"

He Qingliu said solemnly: "I said how could there be such a beautiful man in the world, and then I realized that this kid is probably a woman disguised as a man!"

The Taoist brother was stunned for a moment, recalling that face, he was a little uncertain for a moment, and cursed: "You idiot, can't you tell a man or a woman?"

He Qingliu raised his neck and said, "What do you think? If you want to pretend to be a man, what can you do? You can even take off your pants to see if there are any birds?"

The Taoist brother heard his vulgar words, couldn't bear it anymore, raised his foot and kicked him: "I think you deserve a beating!"

He Qingliu dodged a kick: "Brother, calm down, our Laojunshan is famous, pay attention to image, pay attention to image. Don't worry, we can't tell whether that kid is a man or a woman, and Master Yang can't tell?"

The Taoist brother glanced at another person coming, quickly retracted his feet, his face was calm and breezy for a moment, and when the mountain wind blew, his clothes fluttered like an exiled immortal.

Without moving his lips, he said, "If you're really a woman, you'll just wait to be dealt with by Master Yang!"

He Qingliu curled his lips and muttered secretly: "Then you can't run away either."

……

The steps leading to the top of Laojun Mountain are all paved with white stones, neat and orderly, about five meters wide, winding up the mountain.

The ancient trees on both sides of the mountain road are towering, layered on top of each other, and it is green as far as the eye can see.

Li Qingshi walked all the way. Yesterday he was busy on the road and didn't care to appreciate the scenery in the mountains. Now that he knew that he would definitely pass the first threshold for Laojun Guan to accept disciples, his heart was at ease, and his steps were not as hurried as yesterday.

There are two ways to pass the first stage of the Laojun Guan's apprenticeship. One is to have the root bone checked by the Laojun Guanxian master. This method does not depend on age. As long as the root bone qualification meets the standard, you can enter the next round .

It's just this "standard", no one knows the specifics, it can only be determined by the words of the Immortal Master Guanzhong.

The second way is to open the big orifice over 20 years old, and the age should not exceed [-] years old.

Only relying on the second method, it is certain that Li Qingshi will pass the first level.

He felt that even with the first method, it should be no problem to pass the test by himself. Old Liu said that after reshaping the root bone, his root bone aptitude is unmatched in the world.

Even if there is some water in this statement, but just based on his incredible progress in cultivation, at least his root bone aptitude belongs to the group of outstanding ones.

Li Qingshi was right in thinking this way, speaking of it, ever since Laojun established the sect and set up the first threshold for accepting disciples, the second method is like a chicken rib, and has never been used.

Because you can open more than 20 years of age when you are less than [-] years old. To be able to do this, you must have extraordinary aptitude.

The reason for this rule is that Laojunguan’s initial method of checking the qualifications of the root bones was not foolproof. With this rule, talents will not be missed.

However, even though the initial inspection method was not perfect, this second method has never been used. I don’t know why it’s because geniuses who have opened more than 20 years of age before the age of [-] have such good aptitude that they will not be missed at all.

Or Laojunguan has actually missed some geniuses. After all, many people have never started to practice martial arts before coming to Laojunguan to worship their masters, let alone open their eyes.

Today, Laojunguan's method of checking the qualifications of the root bones has been improved countless times, and it has been able to guarantee that there will never be a "fish that slipped through the net", just because this second method was established by the ancestors, even if it has become a thorough The chicken ribs have not been abolished.

Li Qingshi was able to pass today's level with certainty, and Li Qingshi was relaxed. The Dingdong Mountain Stream flows through the side of the stone steps. The water is clear, and the fish staying on the pebbles at the bottom of the stream can be seen at a glance.

Turning a corner, there is a majestic waterfall flying straight down in the distance, crashing into a secluded pool, filled with water vapor, like a fairyland.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a small pavilion appeared in the middle of the mountain road.

If you want to continue climbing, you have to pass through this pavilion.

Li Qingshi walked into the small pavilion and saluted the two Taoist priests on duty in the pavilion. He walked here yesterday, and after learning from the two Taoist priests that the old gentleman was watching the threshold for accepting disciples, he turned down the mountain.

There are two mountain roads behind the pavilion, the one on the left is the road for worshiping teachers, and the one on the right leads to the Sanqing Hall on the top of the mountain, where tourists and pilgrims go up the mountain.

Li Qingshi walked up the mountain road on the left, and after about half an hour, he came to the top of another mountain.

Laojun Mountain is actually composed of several peaks, not just one mountain, and matters related to apprenticeship are all carried out on this mountain.

There is a square on the top of the peak, and a wooden chair is placed in the front of the square. In front of the wooden chair, there is already a long queue of dozens of people, and the queue is full of people who come to apprentice.

Li Qingshi didn't expect someone to come earlier than him. He stood at the end of the line and looked up at the sky. It was only Maochu, and there was still more than an hour before the start.

Although the immortal master who was in charge of examining the root bones hadn't come yet, there were disciples of Laojunguan present to maintain order. There were not many people in the arena now, and these disciples of Laojunguan had nothing to do, so they stood chatting together in twos and threes.

When Li Qingshi arrived, several people's eyes fell on him, to be precise, on the tattered long sword he was carrying.

Most of the people who come to Laojunshan to study as teachers will take their face into consideration. What do people in the Jianghu rely on to support their appearance?First of all, of course, is the weapon.

It's really embarrassing, if you can't afford a good weapon, then don't bring it at all, like Li Qingshi, who brought such a broken sword up the mountain, it can't be said that he doesn't have it, but his sword is too "personal", two pieces of broken wood It is too casual to act as a scabbard.

Looking back, as a disciple of Laojunguan, of course he must pay attention to his bearing in front of others, so no matter what he thinks in his heart, he will never show it on his face, and no one will discuss it in his words.

But those martial artists in the queue are different, they don't hide the playful expressions on their faces. Such behaviors are either really maverick, or they are pretending to be maverick to attract people's attention.

The reason for the playful expression is that there are not many people who are truly independent in the arena, and more people deliberately do some unconventional behaviors to show that they are different.

They obviously classified Li Qingshi as this kind of person.

However, due to the presence of Laojunguan's disciples, fortunately no one made any mocking remarks.

As time went by, more and more people lined up. When Chen was approaching, Li Qingshi roughly estimated that there were at least 500 people.

Laojunshan checks the root bones every day, starting at the hour of Chen and ending at the hour of Shen, as long as it is during this period, you can come at any time.

Just to pay attention, most people will wait here in advance before Chenshi.

There are already more than 500 people before the start. Assuming that 500 people are counted as one day, how many people are there in a month?How many people a year?

Compared with the population of the Daren Dynasty, it does not seem to be much, but not everyone is willing to practice martial arts.

Martial arts climbing is not as easy as touching the upper lip to the lower lip. How much effort is required during the period?How much did you suffer?

Even those who are extremely talented, there are not a few who give up halfway.

What's more, in the Daren Dynasty, the entire rivers and lakes were suppressed by the court, and the status of warriors has always been low.

Therefore, between practicing martial arts and studying, more people will choose to study. After all, practicing martial arts and becoming famous is not as easy as obtaining fame, or even more difficult.

At this time, three sons from rich families who seemed to have a prominent family background climbed to the top of the mountain.
