Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 220: The entrance exam is a necessary step in cultivating immortality

As we all know, it is easy to kill a person but difficult to bury the body.

Zhang Ze was worried when he saw the corpses all over the hall. He didn't expect the fighting to be so intense.

After a moment, no one could move except Zhang Ze.

The worst off were naturally the cannon fodder who were building the foundation. Some of their methods were unable to be used. When the chaos started, they were hit by the aftermath of various spells and flying props, and died from unknown aoe.

After that, it was the turn of the Jindan stage Ghost Horse Helm monks, who were basically attacked by their own Ghost Horse Slaves.

What made Zhang Ze curious was that Ling Jiao, who should have been the most unscrupulous, was being restrained in the fight.

He fought only with his strong body and restrained aura, and the battle with the old man who was out of control and fell into madness was hard to separate.

He also guided the old man away from the walls of the hall and the forbidden barrier he had set up, as if he was afraid that something might go wrong here.

All the protective magic weapons prepared by Zhang Ze were useless.

As for the way this man died in the end, it was very embarrassing. After all, he had many concerns and died together with the old man, with half of his buttocks bitten off.

"Bai Tao, do you have something like corpse-dissolving water?" Zhang Ze asked through the golden elixir.

"Um, I don't have this, but I can make it for you now." Bai Tao shook her head.

Just as Zhang Ze stood up and was about to gather the corpses together, he saw one of them move. Then the man stood up with a somersault, and the black robe on his body tore into pieces and broke into powder. This robe should also be a magic weapon.

Although half of the sternum was sunken, it did not appear to be fatal.

"Hahaha, stupid!"

Xiao Han, who felt that he had survived to the end and had used secret methods to confirm that everyone here was dead, became arrogant at this time. He looked at the corpses on the ground and couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

Now that everyone is dead, this place is no longer known to anyone, making it a perfect place for retreat.

Now, if I plunder all these people, the magic weapons and resources I get will be enough for me to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage here!
The corners of his mouth twitched as he dragged his seriously injured body to search for corpses.

Seeing that someone was doing the job for him, Zhang Ze squatted down again.

Xiao Han was also experienced and had a lot of luck. After stripping off all the clothes, rings and other belongings of the corpse in front of him, he took out a jade bottle. As soon as the black water in the bottle came out, the corpse immediately disappeared.

Even the corpses of the two Nascent Souls were no exception and were turned into nothing by the black liquid.

When Xiao Han had almost finished cleaning up, the hall was clean, but the various magical instruments and rings that he had looted were scattered all over the floor.

He planned to admire his own achievements.

Seeing that the cleaning was finished, Zhang Ze stood up, stretched, and came behind Xiao Han.

Because it was inconvenient for him to show up in his current attire, he summoned the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror.

However, this time, before Zhang Ze could give the order, the Xuanjian Treasure Mirror moved on its own.

The Xuanjian treasure mirror hit Xiao Han on the back of the head with the force of thunder. The corner of the mirror was sharp and he died instantly.

Zhang Ze: ".I haven't said anything yet."

"The timing was perfect, and this guy didn't seem like a good person, so I couldn't help myself. And you called me out for this, wasn't it?"

Zhang Ze thought about it and decided that he really intended to do so.

[By the way, why did the group chat go offline? ]

After explaining the reason for the internet outage to Xuanjian, he temporarily put it into the beast-taming ring.

Xuanjian is now eager to communicate, and Baitao should have finished reading the manuscripts on hand. It's a good opportunity for the two of them to get together and chat, amuse themselves, and avoid being bored.

He did not show up. After Zhang Ze used the small bottle to dissolve Xiao Han's body, he packed up all the magical weapons and treasures in front of him.

These things are of no use to him, except for their unique shapes. Zhang Ze plans to take them back and give them to A'li as snacks.

For A-li, these should be considered Jingzhou specialty snacks.
After everything was taken care of, the magic circle set up by Ling Jiao dissipated on its own, and Zhang Ze, who was still invisible, returned to the study.

Take a look at it again by the way.

You know what, these books are quite useful.

Ling Jiao doesn't have the habit of writing a diary, but he does have some quirks.

The books on half of the bookshelf are all his 100-year plans for the future development of Guimaduo, which are recorded in detail and planned carefully.

Zhang Ze felt that these things might be useful to Brother Feng.

Every time you go out, you should bring some travel souvenirs with you.

Continuing to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, Zhang Ze asked Xuan Jian to come out again, knock open a treasure chest, and break the magic circle inside.

He also found a tea set, some jade ornaments, and an exquisite glass concentric ball.
Counting on his fingers, after counting Old Tang, his master and the others, he realized that this treasure chest alone had basically solved half of the problem of providing everyone with local specialties.

After searching again and making sure that there was nothing there, Zhang Ze returned to the hall. He stood where Ling Jiao had just stood and turned around to look.

There is a magic circle in an inconspicuous place there, which seems to be a mechanism.

Having been with Lily and Old Tang for so long, he naturally recognized the ordinary magic circles. He took out the jade token looted from Ling Jiao and hit the magic circle.

The magic circle was activated, spiritual energy gathered, the stone wall became illusory, and behind it was an abyss.

There seemed to be something in the abyss, but with Zhang Ze's current cultivation level, he couldn't see it clearly.

"Is that the spiritual realm?"

Zhang Ze stood on the edge of the cliff and shot a ball of golden light downwards. However, before the object at the bottom of the abyss was illuminated, Zhang Ze immediately turned around and grabbed it back.

It was not a discovery, but Zhang Ze's intuition told him that the person who had just kicked him must still be behind him.

Sure enough, Zhang Ze felt that his hand had grasped something soft, but he didn't hold it tightly, and the thing slipped away quietly. It felt silky and he didn't know what it was.

Just at this moment, the thing under the abyss moved. Zhang Ze glanced at the bottom of the abyss. With the help of the golden light that had been shot down before, Zhang Ze finally saw the whole picture of the thing.

He has seen this thing before.

The dog system told him to worship the mountain Tai Sui.

But Zhang Ze understood the principle, what he didn't understand was why the butt below was so big.

The huge Baishan Tai Sui opened one of its eyes and aimed it at Zhang Ze. A suction force trapped him tightly, and before Zhang Ze could react, he was sucked into the eye.

The moment he entered, Zhang Ze didn't think about whether this was retribution.

I didn't think this big butt had anything to do with the spiritual realm.

Instead, I was wondering how long this big old thing could last for Ah Li to eat.
Tight, then empty.

When Zhang Ze opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him seemed somewhat familiar.

"Got home?"

In the distance, the fairy mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the towering Jianmen Gate is very conspicuous.

This is Anlan City at the foot of the mountain where the Sword Sect’s headquarters is located.

But now this place should be called the original imperial city, because Lao Deng should not have been born at that time. This seems to be the era of Lao Lao Deng.

Eastern Qi.

Zhang Ze looked at the magnificent sedan chair at the end of the square. Under the sedan chair sat a man who looked like a eunuch. On the huge banner behind him was written the word "Qi".

Although he stole the limelight, the huge crowds of people at this time did not come for the eunuch. Everyone looked towards Jianmen, where a sword came from the east.

Then many swords came.

I don’t know who he is, but he should be an elder at that time. Several disciples stood behind him with swords in their hands.

The eunuch didn't say anything either, probably just to supervise.

Zhang Ze stood in the crowd, stretching his neck to watch, but no one explained the rules. He only saw a disciple step out from behind the elder, his voice as loud as a bell.

"The entry test officially begins!"

And then they left.

Zhang Ze looked puzzled. Although he knew that his Sword Sect was very careless in recruiting people, he didn't expect that it would be so casual at the beginning.

Zhang Ze remembered that when he first started learning, they at least tested his physique, checked his character, talked about his ideals, and discussed life.

I came here with full marks.

Although every time this matter was mentioned, my master seemed to regret it.

When looking for disciples back then, we didn’t talk about whether we could get any results or not. We had to talk about what we were testing for.

But no one paid any attention to him. After hearing what he said, half of the people present disappeared without a trace.

Many of them had obviously started practicing and carried some magical instruments with them.

Zhang Ze directly grabbed someone next to him and said, "Brother, please tell me what this is for."

The person being held back was a child. He was puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

After saying that, he tried to break free from Zhang Ze's arm, but failed.

Although he didn't know why his cultivation was gone, Zhang Ze still had his skills and strength, so he had no problem bullying the kids.

After two unsuccessful attempts, the child said anxiously when he saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the square, "Let go! The entrance test to the Sword Sect has always been mountain climbing! If you don't want to join the Sword Sect, don't ruin my plans!" Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, then he loosened his grip and the child disappeared. It seemed that he had gone mountain climbing.

"Without creativity, what's the point of climbing a mountain? It's better to talk about ideals."

After saying that, Zhang Ze turned around and left.

He wanted to see if this place was real.

However, when he reached the end of the square, although the streets there were bustling with people, he found it difficult to take another step.

Okay, they are all fake. This should be an air wall.

It's not like we've returned to the past. This should be the 'spiritual realm'.

He checked his body again and found that although his appearance had not changed, his tattered treasure bag was nowhere to be found, his connection with Bai Tao was completely severed, and his golden elixir was gone.

There was only a jade token in his pocket, probably the certificate for the entry test, and the rest was nothing, not even a copper coin.

But the amazing thing is that the system exists.

They are good brothers for life, and their friendship is indestructible.

Moreover, the system also sent a task to meet the needs.

【Beginner Mountaineering】

Although perfunctory, they are still good brothers.

"Is this the spiritual realm? No wonder that Ghost Horse Helmsman was talking about severely injuring the Sword Sect and climbing mountains."

"But what's so difficult about climbing a mountain?"

To be honest, Zhang Ze didn't understand. The mountain in Zongge was not difficult to climb except that it was a little humid.

During the time he lived in the Sword Sect's main pavilion, he often went into the woods with his junior sister, and was even chased by Aunt Mo and chopped from the top of the mountain to the bottom, back and forth twice.

Zhang Ze was confident that in terms of familiarity with the roads, no one in the square was as good as him.

If we just start climbing from Anlan City, isn’t this road a bit far?
Just as Zhang Ze was thinking about whether to follow them climbing the mountain or tease the eunuch, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

"Dude, why don't you go up the mountain?"

Zhang Ze turned around and saw a young man who was always smiling while talking.

"You didn't go up the mountain either?"

Zhang Ze asked back.

"It's just a mountain climb. It won't take a while. Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat."

After saying that, the young man waved his hand and motioned Zhang Ze to follow him.

Although I don’t know what this spiritual realm is, I guess it’s like playing a game.

This young man is obviously an important NPC, so it’s generally a good idea to follow him.

Following the young man, Zhang Ze came to the edge of the square again. The invisible barrier quietly dissolved with the young man's steps.

Haha, it’s a rubbish game. It doesn’t accept quests and doesn’t open air walls.

In a tavern, Zhang Ze learned the young man's name.

Wei Zhuang.

What a cool name.

I was quite familiar with it in my previous life, but I have no impression of it here in the Four Continents.

While eating and chatting, Zhang Ze also heard the specific details of the mountain climbing.

Within five days, only the top 100 people who take the mountain road behind Anlan City and reach Tianyun Terrace can enter the next stage of testing.

There's really no creativity.

Zhang Ze estimated that to leave this spiritual realm, he would have to start by climbing the mountain. Regardless of success or failure, he would be spit out by Tai Sui.

Zhang Ze also had a rough idea of ​​the reason why those people from the Hundred Demons Sect could not climb the mountain.

If I hadn't rushed up the mountain, I would have missed Wei Zhuang.

It was while climbing the mountain that he exposed his devilish temperament and was caught on the spot.

Or maybe he was simply too inexperienced to climb up.

He chatted with Wei Zhuang for a few more sentences and heard from him that at that time, the Sword Sect had not yet separated from the Sword Pavilion. As for the affairs of the Dongqi court, Wei Zhuang did not care and did not know.

"Brother Wei, let's go. We have to go up the mountain to take a look after lying here." Zhang Ze stood up and said.

However, Wei Zhuang smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, Brother Zhang. I have something to ask of you."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Do you have money? Give me a hand. You can pay for all the food and wine today. I'll treat you another day." Wei Zhuang said as he stuffed food into his mouth.

"Easy to say."

Zhang Ze agreed with a smile, then stood up, put his hand into his arms, and then ran out of the tavern without looking back under Wei Zhuang's gaze.

Wei Zhuang was stunned. He didn't expect that someone was as shameless as him.

After eating the free meal, Zhang Ze did not walk towards the foot of the mountain, but turned and ran towards the Anlan city gate.

However, after running for a long time, his eyes suddenly brightened. When he looked clearly again, he found himself standing in the center of the square again.

But at this time, the eunuch sitting on the sedan chair disappeared.

"Crap game, either air walls or map borders."

Zhang Ze sighed, put his hands behind his back and walked across the square towards the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the entrance to the mountain.

This is a small gate, and there is only a senior brother from the Sword Sect on duty there. Zhang Ze did not go up the mountain, but stared at the senior brother.

Then as expected, he showed his hair to that senior brother.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and climb the mountain, don't delay anything."

Although his tone was a little impatient, he did not take any action.

Zhang Ze looked at him for a while and confirmed that he had never seen this person in the portrait, so he stopped harassing him and turned his back to wait for someone to come.

After waiting for a while, Wei Zhuang appeared again.

To start an escort mission, you must wait for the NPC.

"Brother Wei is very skilled. He can even run away like this." Zhang Ze bowed.

"It's just so-so, not as smart as Brother Zhang."

Wei Zhuang was still smiling and not angry, and he didn't even mention the fact that he had cheated people for free food and drinks with someone he had only met once.

"Go up the mountain."

"please."

The two took out the jade token, which rose up without wind and floated in front of their eyes.

Beside the Sword Sect disciple who was on duty, ripples appeared in the air, golden ripples spread out, and a gate of light appeared.

And two numbers also appeared on their jade tokens.

Nine hundred and ninety-eight.

nine hundred ninety-nine.

Obviously the last and second.

"The restriction has been lifted. Please leave now, both of you. If you are in danger, call through the jade token and someone will come to rescue you."

Although he didn't have much hope for the two kids in front of him, the Sword Sect's senior brother still nodded to Zhang Ze and Wei Zhuang.

"Thank you, senior brother." After saying that, Zhang Ze and Wei Zhuang stepped into the light gate.

Two hours later.

The two of them did not become increasingly tired as their faith in the Dao was tested, nor did they experience any illusions that made them question their consciences, or any treacherous old men who stopped them on their way and asked, "Which sword is yours?"

I haven't encountered any level challenges yet, and the Sword Gate seems to be a long way off.

It's pure mountain climbing.

And their ranking is still the last and second.
As for Wei Zhuang, he walked and stopped, chatting with Zhang Ze from time to time. Maybe he really came here to have fun.

The same character as the NPC in the self-defense mission.

Zhang Ze sighed.

"Come on, Brother Zhuang, I'll take you on a small path."
