Although Taoist Sect is just an unpopular sect in Jiang Mu's words, for Nanshan Prefecture, it is famous and a place of cultivation that countless mortal monks yearn for.
Although almost everyone in this world advocates Taoism, since ancient times, the poor were poor in culture and rich in martial arts, and the various resources needed for Taoism are extremely precious. Generally speaking, only some wealthy families and established sects can possess them.
Therefore, if you want to pursue higher cultivation and realm, the best way is to join a sect or a wealthy family.
It's just that a wealthy family is far inferior to a sect. After all, a wealthy family is just one family, while a sect draws on the strengths of hundreds of families.
What's more, wealthy families are basically dominated by the children of the family. Even if outsiders enter, even if they are geniuses, it is difficult to guarantee the acquisition of resources. Therefore, the sect has become the majority of people who want to practice Taoism, including even those who want to practice Taoism. The first choice for children of wealthy families.
It is precisely because of this that each sect has extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples.
For example, the Taoist Sect will only open its main gate every three years to accept disciples. Therefore, although there are still three days before the day when the Taoist Sect will accept disciples, more than 100 people have already gathered outside the Taoist Sect's mountain gate. Thousands of people, all waiting eagerly.
Although there are many people coming, they can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the monks who have already embarked on the path of monasticism, and the other is the mortals!
However, even the monks are all in the Tongmai realm, and the purpose of their coming here is naturally to hope to join the Taoist Sect so as to obtain better and more cultivation resources.
The areas where these two types of people gather are also clearly separated from each other. After all, monks look down on mortals, and mortals also have a sense of awe towards monks, so the two sides do not interfere with each other, and each is sizing up the Taoist sect.
Taoist sect consists of five peaks, standing side by side, with varying heights. From a distance, they look like a huge open palm with five fingers pointing to the sky, majestic and majestic.
Although these five palm-shaped peaks seem to be right in front of you, even if you strain your eyesight, you can only see halfway up the mountain. Beyond that, there are clouds and mist, reaching no peak, just like a fairyland.
However, the more this happens, the more mysterious it gives people, and it also makes everyone more confident, and they must join the Taoist Sect at all costs.
"Do you see, this is the monastic sect!"
"Yes, from such a distance you can feel that the spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, so there must be spiritual veins there!"
"If you ask about the five peaks, each peak represents a kind of Tao and a kind of cultivation method. Entering any of the peaks is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step!"

Amidst everyone's expectations and waiting, three days finally passed. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from behind the crowd, and the commotion became bigger and bigger, like waves, constantly moving forward. , until the waves came to the front of the Taoist Mountain Gate.
When everyone saw the cause of the commotion, everyone involuntarily became quiet, but then, they burst into laughter.
Because there is another person who wants to join the Taoist sect, and this person looks to be fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a pretty face and is dusty. He has a black triangular stone pendant hanging on his neck. Everything Everything is normal, except—he is actually wearing an animal skin!
You must know that today can be regarded as a prosperous age. Although there are still poor people, no matter how poor they are, they will at least have a decent piece of clothing. But now there are still people who just show up wearing an animal skin.
A handsome young man dressed in fine clothes and carrying a sword behind his back pointed at the other party and laughed wildly: "Where did this savage come from?"
Someone immediately echoed beside him: "The Taoist sect is so famous that even uncivilized savages come here to admire it. It's just that savages don't even know how to speak, so they still want to practice Taoism?"
The handsome young man laughed loudly and said: "Why not? We build the highway, and the savages will build the wild road!"
Unbridled ridicule spread from this man's mouth in all directions, and in the end, everyone couldn't help but talk about the young man wearing animal skins.
However, this young man seemed to be unable to hear and completely ignored everyone's comments. He calmly walked to a big rock and sat down cross-legged, quietly staring at the still closed mountain gate of the Taoist Sect.
The boy is naturally Jiang Yun!
Just as Taoism was about to start recruiting disciples, he finally arrived here.
Naturally, he could hear everyone's ridicule clearly. In fact, even after he walked out of Shiwanmang Mountain, he realized that his clothes were a bit unusual.
But firstly, he didn't have the money to buy clothes; secondly, his grandfather sewed this animal skin for him personally, and he couldn't bear to take it off. He wore the animal skin as if he was still in Jiangcun, so he didn't change it. animal skins.
After Jiang Yun looked at the mountain gate of Taoist Sect, his eyes shifted to the people around him. At the same time, he raised his ears and listened attentively to what the people around him were saying.
Walking out of Mangshan Mountain not only opened his eyes, but also made him aware of his ignorance. Therefore, along the way, he would always find places with many people to rest in order to enrich his experience.
In addition, years of identification of medicinal materials and fighting against ferocious beasts have also honed his sharp eyes and keen senses.
This seemingly random sweep gave him a rough idea of the people around him.
"The person who mocked me should be from a noble family, and his strength is not low. However, the strongest among this group of people should be the man in black. From the time I appeared until now, he has never looked at me at all. His whole person seems to be Isolated from the world, such people are very dangerous!"
The man in black in Jiang Yun's mouth was a young man standing in the corner of the crowd, his eyes slightly closed, and his body as tall as a pine tree.
"There is also this big man. Although he is plainly dressed, he has a sturdy body, thick joints, extremely thick calluses on his hands, and strong muscles. He should be quite powerful."
"Then there is the woman who is about the same age as me. She glanced at me just now, and her eyes seemed to be filled with moisture. Although it was fleeting, it must be good."
"The last one is the little girl. She should be a mortal like me. She looks a bit similar to Yuerou, and she has an indescribable and wonderful temperament about her!"
Jiang Yun didn't know that while he was silently speculating on the strength of these people, there were also a few people in the Taoist Sect with the closed gate, criticizing them.
"There are quite a few qualified children this time!"
"Well, the little kid in black and the big man who looks strong are both good!"
"That girl has sharp eyes. She should specialize in eye training. If she cultivates her eyes well, there is a chance that she will be able to open her Tao Eyes in the future."
"And the youngest girl, who is about twelve or thirteen years old, must be an outstanding Taoist spirit!"
"This beast-skin boy is also interesting. Although he is a mortal, his body is covered with scars. It is not difficult to imagine that he must have experienced many births and deaths!"
"Anyway, I hope we can receive a few satisfied disciples this time!"
As Jiang Yun completed his observation and retracted his gaze, suddenly, a loud "bang" sound came, and the closed mountain door of Taoist Sect finally slowly opened.
