Mountain dwelling practice: I am a gentle guest in the world

Chapter 685

In the blink of an eye, it was March, when the grass was green and the rain was soft. The courtyard was almost completely shrouded in a faint purple mist. The breeze blew gently, and countless tiny petals fell all over the ground like raindrops.

When Tang Xingzhu returned from her break, the two of them tied up a new large net at the four corners and spread it out, then climbed up the tree and shook the branches vigorously.

Petals rained down one after another, soon filling several large round winnowing baskets.

Dangdang and Banban were so happy that they rolled around on the ground, and they were proud of being covered with flower and leaf debris. When they were washing the petals, they walked back and forth in front of the two sisters with their heads held high, and they would not stop until the two sisters praised them for being beautiful.

Then the two dogs continued to go back to the tree, lying down and waiting for the falling petals to hit their noses and ears, having a lot of fun.

People are bored, dogs are bored too, they are all looking for things to do to pass the dull days. Dangdang and Banban have the physique of exotic beasts, if nothing unexpected happens, their life span is also about a hundred years, if they are fed with spiritual medicine for a long time, they may live longer.

However, Tang Xingzhu is not bored. She knows a lot of things while working outside.

"I want to tell you something," Tang Xingzhu told Sang Yue while washing the petals. "I heard from Wei Qingfeng that a sect will come to recruit disciples next month. Anyone over the age of three can go to Yancheng Square to take a spiritual root test. Do you want to go?"

"You want to go?" Sang Yue knew what she meant as soon as she heard it, "No age limit?"

"No," Tang Xingzhu said with a smile, "I heard that this sect is very poor, and the disciples need to endure hardships and hardship during their training..."

Our ancestors took pride in enduring hardships in their practice. After Biluo ruled Xingsui, the country enjoyed peace and prosperity for hundreds of years. Now, few young people are willing to use hardship as a motivation to encourage themselves to make progress.

This sect in particular had many disciples who had been accepted into the sect in the past fleeing due to poverty. With its current reputation, it would be even more difficult to recruit qualified disciples.

There is no choice but to set no upper age limit, so anyone with the talent for self-study can take the test.

This sect is called the Wanjian Sect, and was also known as the Tianjian Sect a thousand years ago. The first sect leader once used a Tianjian to shake the nebula. Even the immortal king of Qingyun Immortal Realm has heard of his reputation and personally went to the lower realm to compete with him. He is the leader of the immortal sects in Xingsui Continent.

The immortal king competed with him and was evenly matched, so he proposed to determine the winner by the ability to kill monsters.

So, the two great powers agreed to go to the border between the fairyland 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 lesser immortals in the fairyland had gone there from time to time to provoke it and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Those who escape quickly will keep their lives, while those who escape slowly will be buried in the snow and their spirits will be destroyed.

The leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect was unaware of the danger, and he was a little proud of himself after being praised by the world for many years. Although he had heard about the great monster's power, he couldn't resist the urge to test his sword skills, so he followed the Immortal King.

He never returned from then on and there was no news of him since.

A hundred years later, people in the world all said that this sect leader was ambushed by the immortal king and became a tool for the other party to kill the big monster and make a name for himself, and he died in the snowy area.

When his disciples saw the master's life card suddenly exploded, they were extremely anxious and began to go to that strange and dangerous area one by one to save people. As a result, they went and never returned, just like the gourd baby saving his grandfather, and the elites were all killed, and his reputation was no longer there.

The skills of the Heavenly Sword have no successor.

The Tianjian Sect was in decline, and was often challenged and mocked by others for being unworthy of its name. Its disciples knew what the world wanted, and were forced to change the name to the Wanjian Sect in order to provide a quiet training environment for their disciples.

After changing the name, the sect finally regained its peace.

It was difficult for a sect that had lost its reputation to recruit talented disciples. The quality and quantity of the disciples decreased year by year, and finally there was even a point where no disciples could be recruited. They had no choice but to release the upper age limit, and anyone with some qualifications could join. This vicious cycle made the Wanjian Sect's reputation worse and worse, and it finally became a third-rate sect in Xingsui Continent.

What disappointed the Wanjian Sect was that the disciples they usually accepted were all for the Heavenly Sword Skill, not for the sincere desire to become their disciples. After one or two years of joining the sect, they could not find the Heavenly Sword Skill, so they found excuses to leave the sect.

Some were even more ruthless and simply fled, only to be discovered by their master in a foreign land. When they caught them and asked why, they were very straightforward:
"Don't you know why the Wanjian Sect is called the Wanjian Sect? I've been your teacher for a day, and I really don't want to embarrass you, so I resorted to this desperate measure. Why do you have to ask about this and humiliate yourself?"

These words almost made the master so angry that he lost his mind.

But it doesn't matter whether it is stable or not. Even the current leader is only a Nascent Soul, and it is a luxury for him to go astray. What is there to worry about? Therefore, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the easiest to enter, but the future is not bright and there is no hope of ascending. It is inevitable, so you have to think carefully.

Tang Xingzhu informed Tu Qingyun and others of the news through the magic crystal, and they said they would try their best to come back to see the excitement.

"What do you mean by watching the fun? You clearly want to become my disciple." Sang Yue understood the intentions of her friends. "Be careful, curiosity kills the cat. If I succeed in becoming my disciple, you will be asked to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the sect. I'll see how you cry then."

They have been together for many years, doesn't she understand these people?

It was nothing more than self-awareness, knowing that even a well-known sect would not recruit young cultivators like them. Accidentally entering a dilapidated sect and becoming the pillar of its revitalization was a cliché in TV dramas in my hometown.

"Fantasy is often beautiful, but reality is often cruel," Sang Yue advised with a smile, "You must consider it carefully."

"We must be cautious," Tang Xingzhu said helplessly. "Wei Qingfeng and the others saw that I had this intention and told me that the Wanjian Sect couldn't even keep the original site of the sect..."

It was occupied by the enemy clan of the Tianjian Sect Master back then, and the owner has changed for hundreds of years. What's even more pathetic is that the Wanjian Sect not only lost its original location, but a few years later, its new address was occupied again...

To date, the Wanjian Sect has changed no less than a dozen positions.

"Every time we change our address, a group of disciples leave in disappointment. We really can't see the future." Tang Xingzhu said with a sense of loss, "You said that those people are really, they are cultivators. The leader of Tianjian Sect is gone, and the decline of this sect is inevitable.

Why would they harm their own virtue by killing them all? Oh, they didn’t kill them, they just drove them away to different places, isn’t that childish?”

"You are childish," Sang Yue spread the cleaned petals on the round dustpan and guessed, "You chased him everywhere not necessarily to vent your anger, but in the hope of finding some clues to the Heavenly Sword Technique..."

The fate card of the leader of Tianjian Sect is to explode, not to be dull.

Of course, after the explosion, the light becomes dim, making it impossible to guess whether the person is dead or alive. Generally speaking, the life card rarely explodes, and usually the extinguishing of the light of life means that the person is dead.

The explosion meant that it was uncertain whether the leader of the Tianjian Sect was dead or alive, so they did not dare to massacre or search the souls of their disciples.

Maybe, but being killed by these disciples made people even more fearful, so they had to use coercion to force the people of the Wanjian Sect to reveal their true colors. If the leader of the Tianjian Sect left behind some magic formula, there might be traces left on the walls, floors, or trees in the yard of the new house.

Sometimes, you can steal the sword tactics of others through the traces of their sword practice. This is probably the reason why the enemy often waits for the Wanjian Sect to settle down before forcing them to relocate.

"Joining a sect like this will not only lead to a bleak future, but may even put your life in danger. You really need to think carefully about this." Sang Yue sighed.
