A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 3: Seven Profound Gates

Views:

The smell in the car was obviously not pleasant, and it was no wonder that nearly thirty children were squeezed into the car that was supposed to hold only a dozen people. Although children are much smaller than adults, they still make the car crowded.

Han Li tactfully shrank his thin body into the corner of the car, and secretly looked at the other children in the car.

The children who came to take the entrance exam were clearly divided into three categories in terms of their attire and background: the first category was the young man in brocade clothes sitting in the middle of the carriage surrounded by most of the other children.

The boy was Wu Yan, thirteen years old this year, and the oldest one in the car. Originally, the age has exceeded the regulations, but one of his cousins married a person in power in Qixuanmen, so the age issue is naturally not a problem. Wu Yan's family opened a martial arts gym. The family is quite wealthy, and they have practiced some martial arts since childhood. More than enough.

Obviously, people like Wu Yan, who are rich and powerful in their families and can do a lot of kung fu, naturally became the "big brother" of most of the children in the car.

The other group of people are the children who surround Wuyan. These people come from various backgrounds. Some of them run shops, some work, and some rely on handicrafts for a living... etc., but they all have the same characteristic: they are all in towns. Those who grew up in the middle school naturally learned some skills from the adults in the family to observe the appearance and pursue profit, so these people surrounded Wuyan, and said "Master Wu" to the left and "Brother Wu" to the right. ", Wu Yan seemed to be accustomed to this, and enjoyed these titles very much.

The last category is people like Han Li. This kind of people come from remote and poor villages. Their families are usually dependent on mountains and water. They are very poor. This kind of people is the least in the car, there are only five or six people, most of them are timid and dare not speak loudly, they just watch others talking and laughing, which is in stark contrast to the part of children who are loud and noisy from time to time.

The carriage set off from Qingniu Town and flew westward all the way, went to several places on the way, picked up a few children, and finally arrived at Caixia Mountain - the location of the main gate of Qixuanmen in the evening of the fifth day.

When all the children got out of the car, they were deeply fascinated by the colorful sunset scenery of Caixia Mountain. It was not until Protector Wang urged them that they woke up and continued to move forward.

Caixia Mountain was originally named Luofeng Mountain. According to legend, a five-color phoenix landed here in ancient times and turned into this mountain. Later, because the people who came here found that the mountain was very beautiful at sunset, as if shrouded in colorful clouds, it was changed to Caixia Mountain. Of course, since this mountain was occupied by Qixuanmen, outsiders can no longer come here to enjoy such beautiful scenery at will.

Caixia Mountain is the second largest mountain in Jingzhou. Except for another Baimang Mountain, this mountain occupies the widest area. Within a radius of more than ten miles, it is the mountain range of this mountain. This mountain has more than a dozen large and small peaks, all of which are very dangerous, so they are all occupied by various branches of the Seven Mysterious Sect. The main peak of Caixia Mountain "Sunset Peak" is even more sinister. Not only is it extremely high and steep, but there is only one road from the bottom of the mountain to the peak. At the same time, thirteen checkpoints, either open or hidden, have been set up in a row, which can be said to be foolproof and safe.

Han Li looked around and followed the people in front. Suddenly, the team in front stopped, and then a bold voice came: "Brother Wang, why did you arrive? It's two days later than the scheduled time."

"Master Yue, I've been delayed on the road for some time, so I'm sorry to bother you." Standing in front of the crowd, Protector Wang respectfully saluted a red-faced old man. Very flattering.

"Which batch of disciples is this sent to the mountain?"

"The seventeenth batch of people."

"Hmph!" Hallmaster Yue looked at Han Li and the others in a grandiose manner.

"Send them to Qingkeyuan, let them have a good night's rest, and start selecting qualified disciples tomorrow morning. Those who have not passed the test, let them go down the mountain as soon as possible, so as not to violate the rules on the mountain."

"Obey, Master Yue."

Walking on the stone steps up the mountain, all the children were very excited, but no one dared to speak loudly. Although everyone was young, they all knew that this was the place where their future destiny would be determined.

While leading the way, Wang Hufa greeted people he met on the road with a smile on his face. It can be seen that he has a lot of acquaintances in the door and is very popular.

Most of the people I met along the way were dressed in blue satin clothes, with knives or swords on their backs. Occasionally, some unarmed people had bulging waists, and I don’t know what they were carrying. From their behavior, we can see that these people Athletic and vigorous, all have a good kung fu in the body.

Han Li and the others were taken to a relatively low mountain peak, and there was an earthen house on the top of the mountain, where Han Li and the others stayed overnight. In his sleep at night, Han Li dreamed that he was wearing brocade clothes, holding a golden sword, and possessing peerless martial arts. He beat the blacksmith's son who he had never been able to beat in the village until the next day. Woke up in the morning still reminiscing.

After waking up in the morning, Protector Wang didn't let everyone have breakfast, and directly led them to a large slope full of bamboos at the foot of the mountain. There, the hall master surnamed Yue whom he met yesterday and several other young people he didn't know were already waiting there.
