The two flew in from a wide entrance at the bottom of the tower and came to a bright hall.
The hall is quite empty. Several thick stone pillars support the top. There is a round arch-shaped stone platform in the center of the hall. Two monks wearing the costumes of Taiqingmen elders are sitting inside, hearing the sound of footsteps, and turning their heads. Looked over.
Liu Ming's expression was startled. One of the two elders was a middle-aged man with indifferent expression, and the other was an image of a boy. They were indeed the elders of Cuiyunfeng, Haoyue Boy, who had had several connections with him.
When Haoyue Boy saw Liu Ming, his face was also startled.
"The more weary the disciple, I have seen the two elders." The youth surnamed Yue did not notice the changes in the expressions of Liu Ming and Haoyue Boy, and bowed in a salute.
"Liu Ming met the two elders!"
Liu Ming's expression quickly returned to normal, and he saluted the two of them.
"It turned out to be the nephew of Master Yue, no need to be polite." The cold-faced middle-aged man said lightly.
"Senior Nephew Liu, I didn't expect you to come to this evil spirit road, are you here to experience it?" Haoyue Tong stood up grinning.
Seeing this situation, the expressions of Yue Qi and Lengmian middle-aged people showed a bit of surprise.
"Yes, the disciple's cultivation has now entered a bottleneck stage, and I am here to find a chance." Liu Ming said with his hand.
"I remember that Nephew Liu was practicing the Ghost Dao technique, and this evil ghost Dao environment is just right for you to hone your cultivation." Haoyue Boy nodded when he heard the words.
"Oh, it turns out that Brother Haoyue recognizes this disciple?" The cold-faced middle-aged man looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Brother Gu, you have guarded the evil spirit road for nearly a hundred years, so you don’t know much about the outside world. This Senior Nephew Liu entered the inner gate decades ago, but his strength is so strong now. The title of the first disciple of the inner sect, even the head of it is full of praise." Haoyue Tong said with a slight smile.
"Oh? It turns out that you are the disciple who dominates the Tianmen Hui. I have heard people say something about you." The cold-faced man looked at Liu Ming a few times, with a hint of surprise on his face.
Yue Qi stood aside, but his face was full of surprise.
On the way here, although he felt that Liu Ming's strength was extraordinary, he did not expect to be so famous in the clan.
"The elder is absurdly praised, and the disciple dared not be ashamed." Liu Ming bowed and said nothing.
"Since you are the number one in the Tianmen Association in this world, the usual strength test is naturally unnecessary. Regarding the difference between the three teams of the Golden Light Army, it must be self-evident on the road. I just don't know the Liu Shinephew. Which team do you want to join?" The cold-faced middle-aged man slowly asked with a flash of light in his eyes.
"I'm applying to join the No. 1 Brigade." Liu Ming said, then took the disciple token from his waist and handed it up.
Seeing this, Yue Qi on the side gave Liu Ming a wink, but Liu Ming ignored it.
"Senior Nephew Liu, have you figured it out clearly? Even if you are not weak, but the evil spirit is no better than the outside world, the old man still recommends that you enter the second team first and get familiar with it." Haoyue boy frowned and reminded him. .
"Thank you, Elder Haoyue, for your kindness. The disciples have decided, and I hope the two uncles will fulfill it." Liu Ming replied firmly.
Although Yue Qi had already said on the road, it is best for the newcomer to start with the third or second team, get familiar with and adapt to the situation here, and then consider entering the first team.
But his time is so precious now that he doesn't want to spend six years in vain, plus he is very confident in his own strength, to make such a request.
The cold-faced middle-aged man took a deep look at Liu Ming, then talked with Haoyue’s slightly moving lips, and took the token handed by Liu Ming, took out a jade book, and scanned it a few times. Said lightly:
"Since Liu Shinephew is quite confident of his own strength, as you wish, now that the seventh team in the team lacks a deputy captain, it is better to leave it to Liu Shinephew."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Yue Qi and Haoyue Tong who were present changed slightly.
"I wonder if the elder can explain to the disciples about the seventh team?" Liu Ming asked Haoyue Boy and Yue Qi with a move in his eyes.
"Even if you don't ask, I will explain to you later. We have about 300 disciples of the Golden Light Army who are stationed in the city and above Huajing, and about half of them are concentrated in the first brigade. Seventh. The squad is the most elite squad of the first brigade. It performs extremely dangerous missions with a very high probability of falling." Haoyue Boy suddenly explained.
"The disciples of each team perform tasks in the Evil Ghost Road, and the sect will give certain rewards, contribution points, and various precious spiritual materials that are specialties here. The more dangerous the tasks are performed, the more rewards they will receive. Master Liu The nephew is strong, and he is here again to sharpen his cultivation base to find a breakthrough opportunity. The seventh team is naturally the most suitable." The cold-faced man glanced at the boy Haoyue obliquely, and said with an unwavering expression on his face.
"So that's the case, that disciple will just let the ancient elder arrange." Liu Ming hesitated slightly before agreeing.
"Very well, if this school is known as the first disciple of the inner sect, if he doesn't have such confidence, I will be greatly disappointed."
The cold-faced middle-aged man showed admiration for the first time, and shook the jade book with Liu Ming's disciple token.
After the green light on the jade book was over, calm again.
The middle-aged man took out a dark token and a storage charm and gave them to Liu Ming, explaining:
"This is your token here. It is engraved with my unique forbidden formation pattern in Taiqingmen. Later, I will sacrifice and practice it with blood. In the future, I will release the mission. All the messages will be sent with this object. The storage talisman is the unity of the Golden Light Army. Costumes, as well as some information about evil spirits collected by the sect. After you go back, you can study them carefully. It will definitely help you in your future actions."
Liu Ming agreed, took the token and storage charm, put it away directly, and asked again:
"By the way, the younger generation has one more thing. I want to ask the two elders for advice. Senior Sister Xiaowu of Benfeng came to the Evil Ghost Road in her early years, but she hasn’t received any information since then. The disciple heard that she was missing during a mission. I don’t know. What's the specific situation?" The Haoyue boy and the cold-faced middle-aged man were both startled when they heard the words.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming's heart sank slightly.
The Yue Qi next to him stood with his hands down, bowing his eyebrows.
After a while, the boy Haoyue sighed and slowly said:
"This matter is quite complicated, and the sect hasn't figured it out yet. It shouldn't have been told to you ordinary disciples, but since Senior Nephew Liu is the same sect of Senior Nephew Xiao Wu, I will tell you about it."
"A few years ago, Zongmen received a report saying that it was the Tiangui Plain in the northwest, where evil ghosts appeared to be infested. So he sent a small group of disciples to investigate. Xiaowu's nephew was in it, and there were three others with him. The fake pill monk and a leader of the true pill realm. However, no news was returned when they left. After the sect, others were sent to investigate, but they did not find the slightest abnormality, and there were no traces of fierce fighting. It has always been a mystery, and Xiaowu and the others are like evaporating in this place." Haoyuetong sighed.
Liu Ming frowned when he heard this.
Hearing what Haoyue Boy said, Xiaowu and others had already encountered an accident in all likelihood.
"Thank you, Uncle Master for telling this. The younger generation is grateful." Liu Ming sighed lightly, arching his hands.
"If there is no news, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and Liu Shinephew need not worry too much. The sect is still under investigation. If there is a result in the future, it will be notified to you immediately." Haoyue Boy said after thinking for a while.
Liu Ming could only thank again with a wry smile.
"Yue Qi, you take Shi Nephew Liu to the residence of the first brigade, and also explain some other things in detail." Haoyue Boy rushed to the side of Yue Qi and ordered.
"Yes!" The thin young man bowed his hands, and quickly retreated with Liu Ming.
Haoyue Boy looked at Liu Ming's distant figure, and his mood couldn't help being a little bit complicated. Although it has been decades since Liu Ming entered the Taiqing Gate, he still secretly regrets very much now.
If he persisted in that year and brought Liu Ming into Cuiyun Peak, the honor of training the first inner disciple would probably fall on him, and it would be his turn to fall to Youfeng.
But that's the end of the matter, now it's too late to say anything.
"Hey..." Haoyue Tong sighed secretly in his heart.
"Brother Haoyue seems to take good care of this child!" The cold-faced middle-aged man had not spoken a while ago, and suddenly asked with a smile.
"Hehe, this son has something to do with Liuyin who disappeared here that year, and he can be regarded as the deceased of Benfeng. Naturally, he should take good care of it." Haoyue boy replied noncommitantly.
"The Liuyin descendant is not a girl named Long Yanfei, why is there another Liu Ming? I haven't returned to the clan for nearly a hundred years, so I have to tell me this." The cold-faced middle-aged man heard this. The look moved.
"This is a long story..."
…
After leaving the tower, Yue Qi took Liu Ming towards a certain area in front of the city, and said with great enthusiasm:
"Junior Brother Liu, I really didn't expect that you turned out to be the first inner disciple in the clan today, and you will have to take care of you in the future."
"What Brother Yue said, these are all praised by those outside, but you can't take it seriously. The really powerful disciples in the inner sect, very few will really stay in the sect, most of them travel outside, looking for advanced real pills. Not to mention, just the disciples in the Golden Light City, I am afraid that there are many people who are stronger than me." Liu Ming shook his head and said.
While they were talking, the two landed at a crossroads in the city. On both sides of the road were courtyard-style cave buildings with serial numbers hanging in front of the doors.
"The residences in the city are also separated from each other according to the three brigades. This area is occupied by people from the first brigade. This is the residence of Brother Liu." Yue Qizhong and Liu Ming spoke casually. , Glanced around, pointed to a cave that said "Seventh Jiadao" at the door and said.
Liu Ming looked at the environment around the cave, and when he saw that it was still quiet, he nodded slightly.
"Brother Liu, there are still things to deal with next. If you have free time in the future, you can come to Jiadao No. 9 Cave Mansion to find me." Yue Qi saw that things had basically come to an end, and said goodbye.
"Okay, thank you Brother Yue for your company along the way, there will be a period of time later." Liu Ming thanked him with his hands.
After a few words of politeness, the two broke up.
