Yan Liqiang left the team with a feeling of disappointment. He had never expected that he would not even be qualified to join the Lingshan Sect. His dream of becoming stronger was dealt a heavy blow by the cruel reality in the blink of an eye...
Before coming, Yan Liqiang had not expected that the Lingshan Sect would be so strict in verifying the identities of disciples joining the sect.
Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly in his heart. He could not blame Lingshan Sect for this. He could only blame himself for taking everything for granted and ignoring this crucial issue.
It would be abnormal for a major sect like Lingshan Sect, which is one of the most famous sects in the world, not to strictly control and verify the identities of the disciples it recruits. It is estimated that the thing of easily signing up and joining a major sect only happens in those stupid movies and TV dramas you saw in your previous life.
Although he could change his appearance, he could not create his own identity and background out of thin air. If he made up something, as long as Lingshan Sect sent people to investigate, he would be exposed and would not be able to stay in Lingshan Sect. He might even lose his life.
I am now dead in the eyes of many people. Can I still tell Lingshan Sect that I can be reborn? My hometown is in Liuhe Town, Qinghe County, Pingxi County, Ganzhou
"Brother Yan, how is it? Did you get the badge?" Lu Wengang ran over and asked Yan Liqiang a question with concern.
Yan Liqiang shook his head, but still had a smile on his face, "Liqiang wishes Brother Lu to join Lingshan Sect and realize his life ideals as soon as possible. Brother Lu, go and queue up, and we'll see each other someday!"
Lu Wengang looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise, but Yan Liqiang had already bowed and left the Lingshan Sect's Huzhou branch alone.
No matter how prosperous Huzhou City is, at this time, it has lost its meaning to Yan Liqiang.
There must be a way, there must be a way. Just because Lingshan Sect can't get in doesn't mean other sects can't...
Yan Liqiang said to himself in his heart, remembering that on the way here yesterday, the uncle driving the car said that there is a big sect in Huzhou, called Longhu Sect, and Longhu Sect is on Longhu Mountain. He can also go to Longhu Sect to try...
…
Longhu Mountain is more than 800 kilometers away from Huzhou City. The entire Longhu Mountain covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers and stretches across the country. It is the largest mountain in Huzhou. In the entire Huzhou, the only sect that can compete with the Huzhou branch of the Lingshan Sect is the Longhu Sect on Longhu Mountain. If the Lingshan Sect is a powerful dragon crossing the river in Huzhou, then the Longhu Sect is the local tiger sitting on the mountain in Huzhou.
Five days later, Yan Liqiang appeared outside the Dragon Tiger Sect's mountain gate...
…
"The Dragon and Tiger Sect holds a disciple recruitment meeting at the foot of Longhu Mountain every March, but all disciples recruited by the Dragon and Tiger Sect must be from good families with clean family backgrounds. Those whose origins cannot be verified will not be accepted by the Dragon and Tiger Sect. This has been the case for hundreds of years, and the situation is the same for other sects. So, young man, please go back..." The words of a receptionist outside the Dragon and Tiger Sect's mountain gate were like a basin of ice water in the cold winter, which instantly chilled Yan Liqiang to the core.
This is the case with Lingshan Sect, Longhu Sect, and almost all powerful sects. The hurdle of having a clean family background is enough to keep one out of the walls of these big sects.
Yan Liqiang felt bitter in his heart. He left the gate of Longhu Mountain with heavy steps and walked down the mountain.
Is there really no way out? Yan Liqiang cried out in his heart...
The most powerful martial arts and secret techniques in this world are almost all in the hands of these large sects and big families. The secret techniques of those big families are simply impossible to pass on to people outside the family. If you don't join these big sects, where can you go to learn advanced martial arts and techniques
Yan Liqiang's heart was filled with resentment, but at this moment, he was unable to challenge or shake the strict laws of these major sects and the strong fortress built by the rules of this world.
…
The scenery on Mount Longhu is beautiful, with strange peaks and valleys and forests of trees everywhere. Walking on the mountain path down the mountain, Yan Liqiang felt a little confused. In his eyes, the beautiful scenery on the mountain was like a blank sheet of paper, lifeless.
As Yan Liqiang was walking, suddenly, he heard a sound in his ear.
“Ouch… Ouch…”
It seemed to be the sound of a person groaning in pain. Not far ahead, Yan Liqiang blinked his eyes and walked quickly forward. Just after passing a huge rock at the corner of the mountain road, Yan Liqiang saw a white-haired old man wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He was sitting beside the mountain road, groaning in pain.
Judging from his attire, the old man should be a herbalist who goes up the mountain, and his family should not be wealthy.
On the left side of the mountain path was a cliff with jagged rocks on it. A stone as big as a watermelon was scattered on the mountain road. The old man's left leg below the knee was strangely twisted outward, and it must have been broken.
The old man in clothes was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead, and he was completely unable to stand up.
"Ah, old man, what's wrong with you..."
"Today I went to Mount Longhu to collect herbs. Unexpectedly, just when I got here, a rock suddenly fell from above and hit my leg. My leg is broken and now I can't stand up..." The old man said while gasping for breath and his whole body was shaking slightly.
Longhu Mountain is a scenic spot. In addition to the Longhu Sect, the scenery on the mountain also attracts many people to visit. There are many vegetation on the mountain, and there are also many exotic flowers and plants. When Yan Liqiang came here just now, he met several tourists and herbalists on the road, but those people did not go the same way as him. After walking for a while, they turned to other places, so there was no flaw in the old man's words.
Yan Liqiang squatted down again and checked the injury on the old man's leg. The old man's leg was swollen. Apart from anything else, just judging from the shape of the bones, the old man's injury should be real.
"My dear father-in-law, are you here alone today? Do you have any companions? If so, I can call them over for you..."
"I come here alone today, without any companions..." the old man who was picking herbs shook his head.
"Where is your home, old man?"
"My home is in a town not far from Mount Longhu. Once we get to the foot of the mountain, we can walk a few miles to the destination. I wonder if you can do me a favor and take me to the foot of the mountain..."
Although there are mountain roads from here to the foot of the mountain, they are rugged and difficult to travel, and the journey is quite long, almost twenty miles. It is by no means an easy task to send an injured and disabled old man to the foot of the mountain.
"Old man, come on, be careful, I'll carry you down..." Yan Liqiang didn't think much about it, and simply agreed to send the old man down the mountain...
