From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality

Through the mountains, plains and highlands, around countless counties and cities, Luo Zheng finally came to the imperial capital half a month later.

Luo Zheng thought that Chongyang County was not a small city among all the counties, but when Luo Zheng stood at the gate of the imperial capital and looked up at the Golden Gate dozens of feet high, his mouth was still open.

Even if all kinds of books exaggerate and praise the greatness of the imperial capital, Luo Zheng is psychologically prepared for the grandness and luxury of the imperial capital. However, when he first set foot in the imperial capital, he was deeply shocked like a local bumpkin who had just entered the city.

As a matter of fact, Luo Zheng has read many of the scenes of the imperial capital from books. The details recorded in books are incomparable, even the pictures copied according to the scenes.

For example, the Golden Gate in front of us is called wangtianmen, which is thirty-six feet high and nine feet wide.

Thirty years ago, Princess Qi of the demon clan married the prince of the burning heaven Dynasty. This gate of looking at heaven was the dowry that Princess Qi had brought.

When Luo Zheng saw the golden gate made of pure gold and various gems, he realized the meaning of Princess Qi's dowry: in the eyes of our demons, you people in the eastern region are all poor.

Passing through the gate of heaven, Luo Zheng walked along the main road of the imperial capital, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the road, such as the Zhitian Pavilion, the huge Earth Dragon altar, and various flying chariots

These scenery in a hurry in Luo Zheng's line of sight, he is most concerned about Qingyun Zong.

After many inquiries, it took a day to pass through most of the imperial capitals, and Luo Zheng finally found the location of Qingyun sect.

The huge Qingyun sect occupies almost a quarter of the area of the imperial capital, which is several times larger than that of the imperial city. This does not include the continuous Qingyun mountains behind Qingyun sect.

Compared with the noble Wangtian gate, the gate of Qingyun sect is much more stingy. Except for the three big words of "Qingyun sect", it has no other advantages. The green trees around it and the green vines around it are full of ancient flavor.

Next to zongmen, there are two teams lining up to sign up.

The one on the left has more than ten Miao people, while the one on the right has a long line. The long line twists and turns, but it can't see the end at a glance. It's estimated that there are no less than a thousand people.

Luo Zheng went to the left side of the team with a large number of people. Because of the small number of people, it was Luo Zheng's turn.

The receptionist, who was in charge of the registration, looked at Luo Zheng, held out his hand to him and said, "please take out your clan documents."

"Literati documents?" Luo Zheng was shocked.

The receptionist pointed to the table and said, "I only accept gentry here. If you don't have gentry documents, please go there!" Then the receptionist pointed to the long dragon next to him.

Only then did Luo Zheng understand why there were not many people lining up here. It turned out that he was dedicated to serving the gentry.

The gentry is a special class of emperors.

In the whole empire, only a few powerful families were qualified to be called the gentry, and these families were basically concentrated in the imperial capital.

Luo's family in Chongyang County, of course, can't be a gentry. Naturally, Luo Zheng can't produce any "gentry documents".

Seeing this scene, the people in the long line nearby all gave out a burst of deep laughter, and their faces showed a look of contempt. Queuing up is really a boring thing. Luo Zheng's move is a rare joke.

"Where did you come from..."

"I don't even know the documents of the gentry, who are really squeezing into Qingyun sect these days..."

Luo Zheng didn't respond to these disturbing voices. He just nodded to the receptionist and walked to the end of the long line in the scornful eyes of the crowd.

Luo Zheng's life as a slave for two years has already made him feel very smooth. The slightest provocation and ridicule is not enough to make him angry. On the contrary, it calms him down.

The progress of the team was very slow, and Luo Zheng simply closed his eyes to nourish his spirit.

"Is this your first time to take part in the sea trial?" After a while, a voice came from the front of Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng nodded and then opened his eyes. He spoke to a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a kind tone and a kind face.

The young man found that Luo Zheng opened his eyes. He also gave Luo Zheng a smile and said, "this is my second time."

"What do you mean by" sea trial " Luo Zheng asked about his confusion. Luo Zheng knew that Qingyun Zong's requirements for recruiting disciples were very strict. He had to pass all levels of assessment before he was qualified to enter Qingyun college. However, he was not a member of the imperial capital after all, but he was not very clear about the process of recruiting disciples.

The young man said with a smile: "Qingyun sect is the holy land of cultivation in the world. There are countless people who want to join it. If everyone is assessed, I'm afraid even if the whole sect is invited, I'm afraid they can't be busy. Therefore, Qingyun sect stipulates that except for the children of the gentry, other people should pass the sea trial before they can participate in the assessment of Qingyun sect."

"Brother, what is the content of the sea trial?" It's said that the Qingyun sect is very difficult to enter. Now it turns out that there are so many rules. But I don't know what the price is for Luo peiran to recruit his disciples directly.The young man said with a smile: "the so-called sea trial is actually to bring us together for running. According to the rules of Qingyun sect, the lowest level to participate in the sea trial is the bone refining level. However, the internal organs refining level and marrow refining level can also participate in the sea trial, but the requirements for these levels are different. For example, the bone refining level only needs to run a certain distance, and if it is the internal organs refining level, it needs to run a longer distance..."

Just running? Luo Zheng blinked. The sea trial sounds easy. After all, everyone can run. When Luo Zheng enters the dirty environment, he has a long breath, and his body breathes harmoniously. No matter how far away he is, he can stick to it.

After learning about the requirements of the sea trial, Luo Zheng's heart settled down and talked with the young man. He knew that the young man was mo can, a son of a small family in the imperial capital.

The sea trial of qingyunzong is held once a month. Mo can failed once last month, and this year is the second time he has participated in it.

Under chatting, time passed quickly, and they were in line unconsciously.

After registering his name, Luo Zheng got a jade pendant from the reception desk, and his identity information was recorded in the jade pendant.

After carefully placing the jade pendant, Mo can said, "brother Luo Zheng, you'd better have a rest tonight. Running sounds simple, but qingyunzong's road is special, specific You'll know the day after tomorrow, "Mo can thought about it and said," I think brother Luo Zheng is a stranger. If he doesn't have a place to live, he can go to my home. "

Mo can is a warm-hearted man.

But Mo can's invitation, Luo Zheng declined, two years of human life let him see a lot of things clearly, no merit without salary, many things are not easy to doubt people, will not easily believe people.

At this time, many people came out of the gate of Qingyun sect. Most of them were wearing white robes. Sporadically, some were black robes.

Seeing Luo Zheng look carefully, Mo can tells Luo Zheng: "those who wear white robes are all disciples of Qingyun sect. When we pass the sea trial and pass the examination of Qingyun sect, we are qualified to wear white robes."

"What about the black robe?" Luo Zheng asked.

"Black robe? Black robe is the inner son! Whether it's status or the pills you can get every month, there are more than white robes! My father's goal for me is to put on a black robe and become an inner son. "Mo can's face shows infinite yearning.

Luo Zheng nodded, but thought of Luo peiran. That day, Luo Junyi announced that Luo peiran had been admitted to the inner family. What's the reason? Can't it be that Tiandi Zaohua pill really has such a magical effect that it makes Luo peiran's skill enter the country so quickly?

Just as he wanted to come here, six or seven black robed children came towards him. One of them looked at Luo Zheng, with a strange look on his face: "Luo Zheng! I didn't expect that you didn't die. How dare you sign up for Qingyun sect? "

Luo Zheng's eyes coagulated and saw the man's appearance clearly. He sneered in his heart that it was a coincidence. He thought about this man, but he didn't expect that he really appeared in front of him.
