Chapter 5

In the queue, a young man stood on tiptoe frequently, stretched his neck and looked at the people who were being tested ahead.

The people behind him sneered and said: "Huo Xiumao, why are you so nervous? If you ask me, you are not qualified to practice Taoism at all. Instead of queuing here, you should go home early and do farm work."

Huo Xiumao looked back at the other party, he pursed his lips, frowned, his eyes were fierce, and his youthful face showed a hostility that didn't match his age.

The other party's expression froze, and then he reacted, and shouted with embarrassment: "What are you looking at!"

"Silence! No noise!"

A member of the Dou Kuang sect standing beside him burst into tongues, and a loud shout made everyone dare not breathe out.

Half an hour later, it was finally his turn. Huo Xiumao took a deep breath, walked up to one of the Dou Kuang sect members and stood still on the stage.

His body was stiff, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were fixed on a small piece of ground under his feet.

The monk in charge of the test put his palm on top of Huo Xiumao's head, and after a while, he uttered a few words: "Unqualified."

Huo Xiumao froze for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes wide.And the monk in front of him was already impatiently waving his hands away: "Go, go. Next!"

"Senior! Immortal Master!"

Huo Xiumao hurriedly shouted, "This junior is all-hearted, please give me a chance, let me try!"

The other party snorted heavily, and said: "There is no chance! You are so incompetent, you don't even want to embark on the road of cultivation in this life, and forced cultivation is just a waste of resources!"

"But Mr. Xuetang said that hard work can make up for clumsiness, and stupid birds fly first! I will work harder than others. Others practice for one day, I practice for two days, others practice for one year, I practice for 20 years, what others can do, I can do too! Xian Master, I beg you, let me worship in the sect! I bear a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred, if I cannot cultivate, I will not be able to take revenge in this life!"

"Innocence! You may not be able to obtain the cultivation results that a person with excellent roots can obtain in a year! If you don't have a fairy fate, you don't have a fairy fate. My Dou Kuang Sect doesn't accept waste!"

Huo Xiumao showed a desperate expression: "Could it be that without a root, is it impossible to practice Taoism?"

The other party said: "That's natural. Unless, you have enough spirit stones, buy pills to build up your cultivation, but it looks like..." The other party glanced at Huo Xiumao's patched clothes and sneered, "You still Stop wishful thinking!"

The dispute here attracted the attention of the law enforcement disciples. A law enforcement disciple of the Doukuang sect who was standing in the audience came up, grabbed Huo Xiumao by the collar like a chicken and threw him to the audience.

Huo Xiumao slumped on the ground in a daze, the people around him were mocking, some were sympathetic, and most of them were watching with cold eyes.

He staggered to his feet and walked out against the flow of people.

Back to the thatched hut with air leaks on all sides, Huo Xiumao wiped his face vigorously, and then began to pack his luggage.

Put away your few items and entanglements, and pack them into a small bundle.Huo Xiumao carried a small burden on his back and held an old iron sword in his hand. When he turned around, he saw someone standing at the door at some point.

"who is it?!"

Although Huo Xiumao was shocked, he raised his iron sword across his chest.

When he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"Sister... no, aunt, girl, who are you looking for?"

Jing Yingrong: "You."

Huo Xiumao said in a daze: "Me? But I don't know you."

Jing Yingrong: "Where are you going?"

Huo Xiumao was stunned for a moment, turned his gaze, and hesitated to speak.

Jing Yingrong went on to say: "Many sects all look at their roots."

Hearing this, Huo Xiumao clenched his fists, and the veins in his arms bulged.

"Why, why do you negate everything based on just one root?! Why can you only rely on God's will to cultivate Taoism?! If this is the case, why does God let wicked people cultivate Taoism and give wicked people the power to kill innocent people, but does not give me a chance to take revenge? ?!"

"It's not fair, it's not fair!"

He roared terribly, his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.

Jing Yingrong watched him quietly.

After a long time, Huo Xiumao gradually calmed down.

His red eyes stared straight at Jing Yingrong, and with a hoarse voice, he said: "You just said that many sects only look at the root, that is to say, not all sects are like this, and there are exceptions, yes ?"

"Ah."

"What sect?" Huo Xiumao excitedly grasped the glimmer of hope.

"In the beginning."

"Against the beginning, can't you see the root bone?"

"It's not just about the bones."

"not only?"

Jing Yingrong blinked, "It also depends on understanding, belief, perseverance, skill, and others."

Huo Xiumao was dumbfounded: "I can't even pass the test..."

"No," Jing Yingrong shook her head, "It's a comprehensive assessment."

Huo Xiumao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "You mean, even if my bones are not good enough, as long as my beliefs are firm enough and my perseverance is strong enough, then it is possible for me to pass the test?"

"Ah."

"Great!"

Huo Xiumao excitedly jumped three feet high, then he came back to his senses, touched his head, and asked: "Is that why you came to me to tell me this?"

Jing Yingrong nodded: "Yeah."

"Why? You and I don't know each other, why do you help me?"

Huo Xiumao was at a loss.

Jing Yingrong: "If you want to help, then you can."

Huo Xiumao: "..."

He looked into the other's eyes, frowned slightly, and a puzzled look flashed in his eyes.

"My name is Huo Xiumao, what about you?"

"Mirror mirror."

"Jing... What a rare surname." Huo Xiumao muttered.

"Are you a cultivator?"

Jing Yingrong frowned a little, her tone showed hesitation: "...um."

"Then I should call you Senior."

Huo Xiumao solemnly clasped his fists, and said: "Senior Jing, I will remember your kindness in my heart. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay it a hundredfold."

"it is good."

This answer made Huo Xiumao stunned again, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and said: "Then it's settled."

"It's not too late, I'm going to go to Taichu Guan immediately, Senior Jing, we will meet again in the future."

Jing Yingrong silently backed away from the door, watching Huo Xiumao walk past her.

Huo Xiumao took two steps and stopped again.Turning around, he hesitated for a moment, and said to Jing Yingrong: "Senior, I heard a few days ago that there is a strange treasure in the east of Rouyun Mountain, but I only know this news, and I don't know if there are more, you... "

At such a close distance, Huo Xiumao looked at the face in front of him, and as he spoke, his ears turned red.

"If you are interested, go and have a look!"

After leaving these words, Huo Xiumao turned around and ran away, almost running away.

Jing Yingrong looked at the other party, the shadow in the dark pupils gradually shrunk.

Jisha Sword: "He ran in the wrong direction."

Jing Yingrong: "Yes."

"Why is his face so red?"

"do not know."

Jing Yingrong took a step forward, and her toes landed on the land east of Rouyun Mountain.
