Fly to the inn.

"Please sit down, Brother Lu." Sitting beside the banquet in the private room was a handsome young man with dark skin.

The young man looked at Lu Sheng who entered the door with a faint smile on his face.

"I am Chen Quansong, who was arranged by Master Jiuli to receive you here. I am also one of the principals of the Shangyang family in Bailing City. If you need anything in the future, you can directly contact the local family power through me."

"So it's Brother Chen! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Lu Sheng entered the door alone, and a girl beside him helped him pull out a chair and sit down.

As soon as he entered Bailing City, he was lured here by the subordinates of the Shangyang family who had been waiting for a long time.

"How is Lord Jiuli?" Lu Sheng asked politely. He has borne a lot of blame for Shangyang's family in the Northland, and maybe Shangyang Jiuli's family will also be affected.

"Everything is fine. My lord is now concentrating on tempering himself, retreating and cultivating hard, and will not go out for a short time. It is already a great courtesy to be able to order my subordinates to come to receive and arrange Brother Lu at this time! I am really envious! "Chen Quansong is one of Shangyang Jiuli's several go-getters in the Central Plains. As a Central Plains faction, he heard that Master Jiuli had also opened up a lot of power in the North, and he suddenly thought carefully.

Originally, the few of them were the only support under Shangyang Jiuli's command, and they even had to accommodate them in many cases, but now there are more branches in the North, which made Chen Quansong and others feel a sense of crisis in their hearts.

Lu Sheng also saw what the other party meant.

In the eyes of the other party, his power in the Northland actually belongs to Shangyang Jiuli. The staff of the branches are from different camps.

"Brother Chen, you don't need to say too much. Mr. Lu came here on a special trip to study, and he doesn't care about other affairs." Lu Sheng explained with a smile.

He is not interested in these intrigues under Shangyang Jiuli's command.

"So, let's arrange how to enroll in school as soon as possible."

What he said obviously expressed his own meaning, he didn't come to decentralize power. It wasn't because Shangyang Jiuli was dissatisfied with Chen Quansong and the others and sent him to restrain them. But purely come to study and further study.

After understanding what Lu Sheng meant, Chen Quansong gave him a deep look.

"Alright, according to Lord Jiuli's arrangement, here is a list, Brother Lu can choose to join at will. We can arrange to join these schools." He said, taking out a roll of gray paper from his cuff.

Lu Sheng took it and unfolded it.

The names of Baimai are densely written on the leather paper, all of them are schools of different sizes. There are also small print notes at the back, indicating which schools are good at what.

"Although it's not yet time for the recruitment test, but Lord Jiu Li's face, this matter can still be done. Brother Lu, go back and take your time." Chen Quansong persuaded.

"Okay." Lu Sheng nodded.

The two stopped talking about other things, but chatted about the difference between the customs of the Northland and the Central Plains. Then talk about romance.

Time passed quickly, and before leaving, Chen Quansong secretly gave Lu Sheng a small bag of black coins.

This is a special currency that is specially circulated among aristocratic families. Generally, when trading rare items, gold and silver are not used, but black coins are used.

Chen Quansong was very caring, and even arranged for Lu Sheng to have a separate courtyard, which is located in the inner city area of Bailing City, and by the window, you can see the towering Thousand Spirit Pagoda outside.

The Thousand Spirit Pagoda is an exquisite tower with 32 floors, and it is also the landmark of the entire Bailing City. There are many white bells hanging on it, and when the wind blows, it will make a crisp and pleasant tinkling sound. It is a special design by Guan Tiansi of the imperial court for observing the weather.

Lu Sheng stood in front of the window, pinching the leather paper carefully, reading the information recorded on it.

'Tianlian School: One of the triple schools on Baimai. Majoring in poison and wind secret arts. It is possible to arrange direct admission as a student, and a qualification test is required for apprenticeship. '

'Splitting Mountains and Qixing School: One of the Upper Triple Schools. Majoring in soil, speed secret technique. Student status can be arranged, apprenticeship is the same as above. '

'Jinxiuzong: one of the triple schools of thought. There are no majors, and all schools have dabbled in it, which is the school with the largest number of people. They can be arranged as elite students to study in the inner courtyard. '

... ... ...

... ... ..

… .

Rows of school names and specialties are marked on it, as well as identities that can be arranged for Lu Sheng, all written.

But after Lu Sheng looked at them one by one, he was not very satisfied.

Among the more than ten schools, he was quite satisfied with only two, the Jinxiu Sect and the Yuan Mo Sect.

Of these two schools of thought, one is teaching without discrimination, regardless of your status, as long as you pay, you will be accepted.

The other is the decline of the school, and the inheritance of the secret law is broken. It was originally a big school that studied monsters, but suffered a catastrophe in its early years, and lost more than 90% of its research, leaving only some useless documentary miscellaneous studies.

In the current Yuan Demon Sect, there are only a few immortals standing there. It won't take long, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter Baimai. After the old man died, only the Zongmen site remained.

The reason why Shangyang Jiuli arranged such an additional school was not because of Lu Sheng, but because the great elder of the Yuan Demon Sect had favored her in the early years, but now the inheritance of the Yuan Demon Sect is unsustainable and has been suppressed by the opposing school. With her body, she conveniently added Yuan Mozong to the recommendation list.

You must know that this list is not just for Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng stared carefully at the column of Yuan Mozong. The direction of monster research mentioned above made him quite curious. So far, he has seen ghosts, demons, weirdness, and aristocratic families. But I have never seen a demon.

Moreover, the identity of the arrangement marked on it also made him quite tempted.

"Send the master to pass on the disciples...."

"I came to study for the purpose of getting to know the aristocratic family and the Central Plains, not really to learn their secret techniques of practice. This Yuan Demon Sect is very suitable for me.

Because the school is weak, so based on my strength background, the status I get when I enter is high enough, and the freedom is strong enough. Miscellaneous documentaries and the like are exactly what I want to see.

Also, the objects of their research are monsters, which happen to make up for my vacancy in this regard. "He pondered for a while, and pressed his fingers a little harder on Yuan Mozong.

"That's it."

Lu Sheng turned his head and looked at Yingying in the room.

"In the future, you should try to go out as little as possible. This is the headquarters of the family. There are a lot of masters. If you meet that one during the day, you will be a high-level master. I don't know how strong the nine families of the Central Plains are. I really want to provoke them." Well, I may not be able to save you."

The little umbrella girl nodded obediently.

Seeing that he understood, Lu Sheng didn't say much, but his eyes slowly fell on the towering Thousand Spirit Pagoda outside the window.

The gray and white tower covered with countless bells, ever since he entered the city, he felt an overwhelming, looming sight.

That line of sight is extremely huge, continuously sweeping downwards from the high tower, and with a single glance, it can cover a radius of tens of meters. It's not the kind of point-to-point monitoring, but skimming block by block.

He didn't know what it was, but that aura was too strong, not to mention Shangyang Jiuli and him, it was much stronger than the phantom of the Xie Yujing's ten guns that he saw at the beginning, like an abyss. ocean.

Even the depth of that breath cannot be detected.

"Let's rest, I'll go to the Yuan Demon Sect tomorrow morning." Lu Sheng retracted his gaze, closed the window and said softly.

"kindness."

Umbrella girl obediently walked to the corner, where her little bed was.

On the second day, before dawn, Lu Sheng took Umbrella Girl out early in the morning, and left Ning San and Xu Chui behind, asking them to rent a house in Bailing City and move out. residence here.

He came to Feilai Inn, found the people arranged by Chen Quansong, and under their guidance, went to the address of Yuan Mozong.

Hundreds of miles outside Bailing City, there is a black smoke Grand Canyon.

The khaki-yellow land is full of dry cracked hard lumps, everything is dry, and the vegetation is extinct.

The Black Smoke Canyon is like a huge black scar, quietly lying on the yellow plain, from which a cold air flow continuously gushes out.

In the middle of the canyon, on the inner wall of the crack, there is a huge black cave.

Lu Sheng stood behind the woman leading the way, and was standing in front of the cave, looking up at the plaque hanging above the cave roof.

'Yuan Mo Cave'.

There are three characters engraved on the pitch-black plaque, which are extremely correct and imposing.

The entire cave is tens of meters high. Standing in front of it is like standing next to the big mouth of a mysterious monster, which may be eaten by it at any time.

"This is the Yuan Demon Sect." The woman guiding the way stretched out her hand and twisted a disc on the stone wall beside the cave.

rumbling... .

Immediately, a slight vibration was transmitted from the feet to the depths of the cave.

"This place is very desolate. If you want to buy items, you need to go to Bailing City hundreds of miles away. There are no towns in other places, remember.

In addition, the people in Yuan Mozong..." The woman shut up immediately before finishing her sentence.

A gust of dark wind suddenly blew out from the entrance of the cave, and a young man with a pale complexion and red eyes slowly revealed his face from the right side of the cave entrance, looking at Lu Sheng.

"Teacher... please let me pick up the new junior brother." The young man was so miserable that he didn't look like a human being at all.

"Which one of you is Lu Sheng..." His voice was low and slow, with a weird tone that might cry at any time.

"I am." Lu Sheng stepped forward.

"My name is Song Zian,... Please follow me." The man turned around, slowly sank into the darkness, and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Lu Sheng asked Umbrella Girl to go back with the woman who led the way, and followed Song Zian alone into the huge cave.

The cave was pitch black, only the faint green light from Song Zian's body in front illuminated the ground a little bit.

Lu Sheng followed him closely, all the way forward. The uneven boulders were constantly stepped on under his feet. In the darkness, a stream flows through the cracks in the stones, making a soft rushing sound.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a stick of incense, maybe half an hour. At least hundreds of meters to thousands of meters away.

Snapped.

Suddenly Lu Sheng seemed to hear something.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a small hole sunken in on the right side of the cave wall.

In the small cave, he saw a woman in a white dress facing him, standing straight in the middle of the cave, holding an ax upside down with both hands.

The woman's head was wrapped in a white cloth, she couldn't see her facial features, she couldn't see her hair, she just stood straight and quiet in the cave. She seemed to be able to see Lu Sheng, and his face moved slightly as he moved.

Lu Sheng noticed that there was a basin beside the woman, and there seemed to be red blood stains on the edge of the basin.

"That's... white noodles... According to seniority, it should also be your senior sister..." Song Zian said in a low voice.

Lu Sheng looked away expressionlessly, and after walking forward for a while, he suddenly turned back to look at the woman again.

From a distance, the woman could still be seen looking at him, motionless.

It was obvious that her head was tightly covered by a white cloth, and it was difficult to even breathe, let alone see, but Lu Sheng felt that the other party was still looking at him.

"She likes newcomers very much... Just get used to it." Song Zian said in a low voice.

"Really." Lu Sheng stopped talking. This Yuan Mozong seems to be different from what he imagined.
