The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 180 177: Recruiting Apprentices and Martial Arts Performance
Earth,
A layer of Qi naturally rose up around Zhu Xuan's body, blocking the black "snow" out.

But he still reached out and grabbed a charred locust, then crushed it finely in his hand.

His hands were also stained with black.

When he looked up again, he stared blankly at the brilliant sea of ​​fire burning the sky, his eyes showing a bit of shock and helplessness.

Because the true meaning of martial arts is used to drive the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the methods of martial artists mostly focus on high attack, high defense and high burst. The attack power is not bad, but the coverage range is limited.

Therefore, Zhu Xuan knew clearly that, at least at the Grandmaster level, there was no good way to deal with this locust plague that covered the sky and the earth.

If not for this, the battle situation in Tianyuan Prefecture would not have become so bad!
But the Chu Zhou in front of him did it!

At this moment, Zhu Xuan felt a little sad and relieved in his heart. A person like him would only appear once in thousands of years.

As a result, after careful selection, he finally came across it?
Where does this make sense?
He even had a feeling that his Wanxiangzhai would have to be neighbors with Xuanzhen Temple for a long time to come.

However, it was just a change of thought, and he felt that this was not a bad thing, because the situation in Tianyuan Mansion was really not good!
Now, what he needs to consider is no longer how to compete with Xuanzhen Temple, but how to unite!

……

Elsewhere, among the crowd.

The old man no longer cared about anything else. He looked up and stared at the sky.

The burning sea of ​​fire was reflected in those cloudy eyes, and there was not only fear in his eyes, but more of anger.

The locust plague he brought was actually solved just like that?

how many years?

How many years has it been since he suffered such a big loss?

This made him want to rush directly to the sky and fight Chu Zhou to the death!

But looking at the figure slowly falling in the sea of ​​fire, with its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings like an eagle, he lowered his head almost as if he had been electrocuted, and concealed his tracks again.

After a moment, the skin on his face relaxed a little, and then he turned his body. An invisible twisting force appeared around him. He swam away from the crowd like a loach and went farther away.

he left!
At least at this moment, he chose to escape!

……

The sky,

Chu Zhou descended from the sky wrapped in flames. His luxurious purple robe was spotless, and his posture was elegant, even giving off a sense of ethereal beauty.

But everyone felt a sense of oppression, as if a god was looking down on the world, just sweeping past indifferently, but the pressure made people dare not raise their heads.

Standing in front of the mountain gate again, Chu Zhou no longer had the urge to make a speech in front of the huge crowd.

So, he simply said, "Xuanzhen Temple, the second disciple-recruiting ceremony begins now!"

One sentence, like thunder, echoed endlessly between heaven and earth.

Then, he flicked his long sleeves, turned around, stepped into the Lingguan Palace, and disappeared.

Seeing him leave, tens of thousands of people in front of the huge mountain breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The uniform sound created a huge motivation and scared everyone.

Of course, the adult world is full of fear, but the young people who want to enter Xuanzhen Temple all have shining eyes and faces full of hope.

Which young man doesn’t dream? When they looked at Chu Zhou, it was as if they saw their own future.

Chu Zhou left, and Wei Jinkui reacted quickly. He immediately took a step forward, and his voice filled with magic power spread far away.

"The temple master has issued an order. The second disciple-recruiting ceremony of Xuanzhen Temple has officially begun!"

"Everyone, please note that there is a registration point in front of the mountain gate. Those who want to participate in the inspection, please go forward, register, and enter the mountain through the side door with your hand card."

"Please maintain order, parents are outside, please do not make noise!"

"And all the friends who came to congratulate me, please go up the mountain path and come to my Xuanzhen Temple for some tea. Please, please, please..."

When Wei Jinkui began to make arrangements, countless people immediately moved and swarmed forward.

Fortunately, each patrol team was faster than them, and the scolding and cursing were endless. After intimidating everyone, they kept the team in order.

In front of the mountain gate, there were nine registration desks in a row on the open space, and a specially hired accountant was sitting behind the desk.

Whenever someone comes forward, their name will be registered and then they will receive a number plate.

Once there are ten people together, someone will lead the teenagers in through the side door of Xuanzhen Temple.

Everything had already been arranged in Xuanzhen Temple!

Some people use bone palpation to test their talent, some use pulse tracing to check for diseases, some use physical fitness testing, some use question-and-answer testing to test their expression ability, and some use handwriting testing to test their literacy level...

Compared to the first time, this time is much more formal.

Although many projects cannot play a decisive role and no certain rules have been formed yet, they already seem to be similar.

In fact, Chu Zhou had thought about letting these young people go through the "Road of Self-Examination" before, but the use of the "Road of Self-Examination" also has consumption, and he really can't be so extravagant.

As for the front of the mountain gate, a straight mountain road had already been cleared.

At the end of the road, the gate of Lingguan Temple was wide open, and Wei Jinkui stood in front of the temple, waiting with a smile on his face.

As for Xu Cheng and the other three, they returned to their respective positions early and took charge of their own areas.

At the other end of the mountain road, Zhu Xuan stepped forward without hesitation. Behind him were dozens of disciples carrying boxes filled with gifts.

Before he came close, Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "Zhu Xuan from Wanxiangzhai, meeting Master Wei! I came here to congratulate you. These small gifts are not a token of respect."

As he spoke, he handed over the gift list, and Wei Jinkui smiled even more happily.

He took it with one hand, handed it to the doorman next to him, and then said: "Master Zhu's name is well-known, and please come in. My Xuanzhen Temple has prepared some tea, please don't be disrespectful."

"Of course I want to try the good tea of ​​Xuanzhen Temple, but I don't know if I can talk to Master Chu alone. I have something important to discuss." "Well, it's not that I can't, but it's been too busy these days. My master may not be able to spare the time."

"I can wait. Can you please help me talk to Master Wei? Just say it's about the Beggars' Army."

"Okay, I'll definitely pass on the message!"

As they were talking, Wei Jinkui had already led Zhu Xuan into Xuanzhen Temple. After walking a few steps, other disciples led the way to the reception room of Xuanzhen Temple.

Wei Jinkui went back to the front door. This time, it was Cao Bao and Zuo Qiutong who came up. The three of them exchanged greetings. Since they were all acquaintances, there was no need to be polite to each other.

After that, various martial arts sects and gangs came forward one after another.

The Iron Blade Sect, the Sanhe Gang, the Cao Gang, the Jinhe Sect, the Qiu Family in the prefectural capital, the Yang Family in Anping...

All the martial arts sects and aristocratic families in Tianquan County who still wanted to survive in this area sent people here.

Those who didn’t come just aren’t at the right level!

at the same time,

Inside the Patriarch Hall.

Chu Zhou's figure flashed by, and without any hesitation, he raised his hand and picked up a small five-colored flag in the incense burner.

The azure blue magic power surged, and with a light breath, the small flag flew into the air, spinning around. The small flag fluttered in the wind, and actually made a rustling sound.

Chu Zhou had already closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual awareness, with the help of the Five Elements Flag, spread out in all directions like a radar.

As a magic weapon, the Five Elements Flag has no offensive or defensive uses, and its only function is early warning.

But it is just a warning, and it has a significant effect if it is valued by the Heavenly Court.

It mainly has two modes, one is passive scanning.

With the small flag as the center, within a radius of 100 miles, anyone who has great ill will towards the sect or the chess master will appear as a red dot.

However, human hearts are full of evil, and evil thoughts arise and disappear at the same time. If they were really turned on continuously, these five elements flags would serve as warnings every day and annoy people to death.

Sometimes, being more sensitive is not a good thing.

Therefore, the correct way to use it is to open it at night and close it during the day, so that if someone wants to launch a sneak attack, it will be obvious at a glance.

The second usage is active scanning.

Like Chu Zhou now, actively turning it on and using it can amplify spiritual awareness and increase sensitivity to malicious intent.

It was the time of the disciple-recruiting ceremony and there were too many people gathered. No matter how much Xuanzhen Temple did, there would always be many people with malicious intentions.

The feedback was a series of red dots, which were extremely eye-catching, but Chu Zhou locked onto his target with just one glance.

Because, when everyone was moving forward or standing still, only his malice was so obvious, but it was going far away.

Chu Zhou leaped up and wanted to go outside, but after taking only one step, he stopped again.

After taking another look outside, Chu Zhou sighed and gave up the idea of ​​taking revenge on the spot.

It’s not that he was afraid, or that he cared about the man’s strange secret skills. It was just that this disciple-recruiting ceremony was a rare grand occasion in Xuanzhen Temple.

He had to consider the safety of so many people, as well as the image of Xuanzhen Temple.

However, not choosing to pursue did not mean that he would let this man go. The Five Elements Flag kept floating and his spiritual sense never stopped investigating.

I saw that the other party first took the official road and went to Baisha City, rushing all the way, and after passing through the city, he went further south.

Just when Chu Zhou thought he was going to lose it, he stopped. After settling in a certain place, his malicious intent began to become intermittent, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Finally, it completely dissipated!

But that's enough, the position is fixed.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, not to mention that Chu Zhou was only planning to stop for a few days.

Now, with so many people from various sects coming, it would be inappropriate for him not to show up. What's more, he has other arrangements for this ceremony.

……

Not to mention the matter of recruiting disciples outside, just say that a large group of elders, sect masters, hall masters and the like from various factions have gathered in the reception room.

It can be said that all the outstanding figures in Tianquan County are here.

Some of them gathered in groups of two or three, talking loudly; others wandered among the various groups, chatting and laughing.

There are also people who don't like anyone and just hide in a corner, drinking tea alone. For example, Zhu Xuan sits in the most conspicuous place, his eyes half open and half closed, with a look of contentment.

The reputation of Wanxiangzhai is much better now, but in Xuanzhen Temple, few people dare to greet him and make friends with him.

When almost everyone had gathered, with more than a hundred people present, Fan Zhong finally came out.

He did not waste any time talking, but led everyone out of the reception room and walked deeper into the mountains until they reached the large martial arts arena.

Here, there is no round table banquet, nor any music band, but instead there are cushions placed there.

Fan Zhong invited everyone to take a seat. Nothing was wrong, except that everyone looked around, confused.

It was not until Chu Zhou walked out of the Patriarch's Hall and came in front of everyone that they all fell silent.

However, the first sentence Chu Zhou said made them lose their composure.

"Since you all sincerely come to my Xuanzhen Temple to congratulate me, I will of course give you some gifts in return. After much thought, the most impressive thing about my Xuanzhen Temple is the Xuanzhen Temple's secret martial arts."

"So, today, I will explain to you the profoundness of this secret martial art."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!
