The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 5 Spiritual Root Test
Hearing this, the tall and thin man did not dare to hesitate and quickly turned around and ran towards the mountain gate.

As for the fat man, he took Gu Nian to the wooden house where they usually rested and placed him on the wooden board. He also saw that the other party was pale, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He was a little hurried for a while and fed him the honey water he usually drank to quench his thirst.

Not long after, the tall and thin man left and returned, followed by a strong middle-aged man who hurried back.

I saw that the man was wearing a large black gold silk tiger robe, with clear facial features, but his cheekbones were slightly high, his eyebrows were inverted, he had a flat mouth like a fish, and his eyes were wide and round.

"I've met the leader!" The fat man quickly put down the honey water and saluted the middle-aged man.

"Ah."

The middle-aged man spoke calmly, glanced at the girl on the wooden bed, and finally his eyes fell on the jade pendant she was holding tightly. However, he did not take the jade pendant away, but placed his fingers on the girl's pulse.

After a long silence, he sighed quietly: "You must be hungry. Feed some honey water and rest for a while." Then he said to the two of them: "Go and guard the mountain gate. I can take care of it here."

"As ordered!"

……

Gu Nian only felt that his mind was in chaos, and countless fragmented images flashed by like a revolving lantern. The past and present lives were constantly separated and gathered together, but they could not be merged.

I don’t know how long it took before Youyou woke up.

"How do you feel?"

There was a deep voice in her ears, and she turned around to see a burly middle-aged man sitting not far away, holding a bowl of honey water in his hand and tasting it.

The middle-aged man has a resolute face, thick ridged eyebrows, and an air of innate superiority exuding from his body.

"here it is……"

Gu Nian's heart tightened, and she quickly looked around the small, dark room. The room was poorly furnished, with a table and a chair placed in the middle.

"You don't have to worry, this is the Taiyue Sect." The middle-aged man put down the honey water in his hand and said, "I am the head of the Taiyue Sect, and my surname is Yue."

As he spoke, he stared at Gu Nian.

"When Wang Zhixian came down the mountain, he mentioned that he was going to find someone. I know that he was going to find his useless disciple, and only that evil disciple could let him do this."

"You are somewhat similar to that man. If you think about it, you are the disciple he brought back."

"Now you are the only one going into the mountain alone. I guess something happened on the way here. Tell me what happened on your way and where is Wang Zhixian."

"My little girl, Gu Nian, has met the leader." Gu Nian didn't know where the word "traitor" came from. She suppressed her doubts and carefully talked about what happened on the road.

"The little girl followed the master to Taiyue Gate. She was not in danger along the way until she encountered an ambush in a bamboo forest outside the mountain. The master's methods were unpredictable and powerful, but it was a pity that the opponent had so many people that it was difficult for him to defeat four hands with two fists. , was injured by a hidden arrow, and killed all the enemies before dying. However, my little girl once heard what the master said about the remnants of the "Seven Injury Sect"."

After listening to Gu Nian's words, the man frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh: "Hey! It's destiny. I strongly opposed him going down the mountain in the first place."

Thinking of this, Elder Yue looked fierce and hammered the wooden table hard: "If I had known this, I should have killed off those thieves from the Seven Shang Sect!"

Gu Nian remained silent.

She didn't know anything about the Qishang Sect, but she could guess from their tone that the Qishang Sect was not a righteous sect and could intercept and kill Mr. Wang even when the sect was destroyed. She thought there was a big grudge between the two.

After experiencing Elder Wang's incident and running around these past few days, Gu Nian has calmed down and understands that these so-called sects do not coexist harmoniously.

"Hey! It's time, it's fate! After all, he has just entered the path of immortality, and he forced himself to run the technique before he was consecrated. It's enough that he didn't lose his soul on the spot."

Sect Leader Yue finally let out a long sigh, accepting the fact that Elder Wang had passed away.

"Since you have arrived at Taiyue Gate, you should practice hard in the gate in the future. Don't let Elder Wang down."

"Disciple, please remember this!" Gu Nian thanked him, but his expression was a bit struggling, and finally he couldn't help but speak.

"Master Yue, my master has passed away, but his disciples could not bring his bones back because they were young, so they had to be buried in the bamboo forest. I also asked the master to bring his master's bones back to the door for burial..."

"He's kind-hearted."

Headmaster Yue nodded: "I will arrange this matter myself, so you can stay here with peace of mind. I will take you to test your qualifications later. If your qualifications are acceptable, I can take you under my sect."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but as soon as he took a step, Gu Nian's voice came up.

"Master, disciple... I have one more thing to report to the master."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Back to the master, the master said before his death that the disciples should go to the Spring Valley." She then said, "If there is a chance, I hope to follow the master's words."

Leader Yue thought about it for a while, but shook his head: "Even if it is Wang Laozhi's last words, we cannot break the sect's rules! You can come with me to test your qualifications later. If your qualifications are not good, it is not too late to go to Spring Valley."

"Yes!"

"Come with me."

……

Taiyue Gate is built on the mountain and is located on the main peak of Taiyue Mountain.

Most of the buildings in the gate are wooden buildings, which are connected by mortise and tenon structures. There are also many cave stone houses among them, but these cave stone houses are rarely inhabited.

In addition to the main hall, there are seven hall entrances including Qi, Yao, Tian, ​​Sha, Zi and Yi. Each hall performs its own duties and jointly operates and maintains Taiyue Gate.

Taiyue Sect is not so much a Jianghu sect, but a self-sufficient hidden village, where there are also a large number of old, young, sick and weak mortals.

Of course, most of these mortals have relatives in the Taiyue Sect, or their ancestors once worshiped the Taiyue Sect, but they lost their lives before they were protected by the Taiyue Sect and were able to live here.

Further ahead is a huge square, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by nine thick stone pillars.

Gu Nian looked into the distance and saw that at the end of the square, there was a stone bridge without seats or piers, rising across the sky. One end was set up in the square, and the other end spanned the deep valley and was set up on the dangerous peak opposite.

There were many people gathered there, and words such as "qualification" and "outer door" were heard from time to time. It must be a place where cultivation qualifications are tested.

"Come with me."

Gu Nian quickly followed, and the two of them walked through the school grounds and arrived at the central location.

Directly in front of her were two young men in plain clothes, slightly older than her and somewhat similar in appearance. They were staring nervously in front of them.

In front of the two people stood an old man with white hair and a childish face.

His white beard reaches his knees, he is wearing a white Taoist robe that moves in the wind, he is holding a milky white stone the size of a goose egg in his left hand, and he is holding a fly whisk on his wrist in his right hand. He is such a worldly expert with an immortal spirit!

The old man then calmly said to the young man in front of him: "Come forward, put your hands up, close your eyes and take three breaths."

He waved to the young man in front of him, who hurried forward, put his hand on the milky white stone and closed his eyes.

After three breaths, the milky white stone suddenly burst out into two colors, with cyan being the strongest and white the second.

The old man nodded: "With dual spiritual roots, you can enter the outer gate."
