The nine demon masters are very mysterious, and each demon master is surrounded by many myths.

Although Lin Feng had been in contact with other demon masters before, he didn't know the names of other demon masters.

The demon lord named Li Xing who came into contact today is the name of the first demon lord Lin Feng knows.

……

"Severe punishment! Severe punishment! Severe punishment!"

The old man was muttering the name to himself, as if he was feeling something.

Finally, the old man nodded.

He said, "please stay in the house for a few days, and then I will arrange for you to go to the ancestral gate for a test!"

"Thank you, sir!" Li Xing thanked and saluted the old man.

Under the arrangement of the old man, Li Xing temporarily lived in the mansion, while Uncle Wang left the mansion.

He was responsible for delivering the severe punishment, and now the task has been completed.

"Why did my mother know such a noble person and why did such a noble person help us?".

Li Xing lay in bed, staring at the beam in a daze.

There are too many doubts in his heart, but no one can explain them for him. Li Xing plans to find a chance to ask the master of the Liu family.

Maybe we can get some information.

In the evening, the old man came to Li Xing. He smiled and asked, "is everything still in the habit of living, little brother?".

Li Xing said, "I'm still used to it. Thank you for your hospitality. I just have some questions in my heart. I don't know if I can answer for my younger generation?".

The old man said, "I can tell you the questions in my heart. If I know, I will tell you!"

"Does the old man know the younger generation's mother?" he said.

The old man sighed and said, "I really know you!"

Li Xing then asked, "does the old man know the younger generation's father?".

Li Xing had no impression of his father since he remembered.

In his memory, there was only a picture of his mother, but never with any picture of his father.

Li Xing once asked about his father.

But my mother said my father was killed by a fierce beast when he was out hunting.

After that, Li Xing saw his mother hiding in the room alone and crying very sad.

Since then, Li Xing never mentioned his father in front of his mother.

Because Li Xing didn't want his mother to cry again.

Later, Li Xing secretly asked some people in the village about his father, but those people in the village hesitated about it.

At this time, Li Xing found something wrong.

But he couldn't ask one after all.

Now Li Xing has come to Liu's house. He feels that master Liu already knows what happened that year. He hopes to ask what he wants to know from Master Liu.

"Didn't your mother tell you about your father?". Asked the old man.

"Yes!" said Li Xing.

The old man continued, "what did your mother say?".

"Mother said that father died on the way of hunting! The bodies could not be found!" said Li Xing.

The old man took a deep look at Li Xing. He patted Li Xing on the shoulder and said, "your father really died like this. Live well, stand out, and then take good care of your mother!"

"I will!" said Li Xing firmly.

"You have a good rest for two days. The day after tomorrow, I will take you to zongmen!" the old man said and left immediately.

After returning to his residence, he opened a scroll with a man and a woman on it.

The man is handsome and floating like an immortal.

Although the woman wears ordinary clothes, she is also beautiful and has the posture of a peerless beauty.

The ancients said that a Golden Phoenix came out of a deep mountain nest.

The Golden Phoenix here refers not to the Phoenix family, but a nickname, referring to the peerless beauty.

It means that peerless beauties often appear in deep mountains and rivers.

The woman in this scroll is the mother of Li Xing.

"All sorts of things in the past make people sigh, but I'm just a mortal. I can't say more, otherwise the whole family will suffer great difficulties. The only thing I can do is to send him to the sect to practice. In the future, I can only rely on him!"

The old man murmured.

Two days later, the old man went to zongmen with severe punishment.

This sect gate is not a powerful sect gate, but an ordinary sect gate. There are not many monks, and there are few strong people.

But in the eyes of mortals, even such ordinary figures in the sect are as unattainable as fairies.

He came to this sect door with Li Xing. It's not easy to join the sect door. It needs to be tested.

Anyone who passes the test can join the sect.

Many young people who want to join the sect gathered in front of the sect. The older ones are 15 or 16 years old, and the younger ones are only five or six years old.

About seven days later, more and more people gathered in front of the sect gate, and three monks flew out from the depths of the sect gate.

The first friar was dressed in a Taoist robe. He was as immortal as an immortal.

"There is a priority in asking questions, and there are specialties in the art industry. You don't pay attention to the order of asking questions, but pay attention to your personal understanding. There are three thousand roads. If you can make achievements in one of them, it will be enough for you to benefit all your life! If you want to join the immortal gate, you need to climb eighteen thousand stone steps! This level tests your patience, will and perseverance , only when you reach the peak can you pass the level. After passing the first level, you will be qualified for talent test. Those who pass the test can become disciples of Xianmen! "

With a flick of the dust in the Taoist's hand, a stone step appeared behind the Taoist.

The stone terrace extends upward, shrouded in clouds, and I don't know where it ends.

There are 18000 stone steps, and many people's legs have softened after hearing them.

"This time tomorrow is the deadline. We can climb the stone steps now!"

The Taoist said.

"Whoosh...".

Some young people with some accomplishments can't wait to rush towards the stone steps, quickly climb the stone steps, each as light as a swallow, and quickly climb towards the top.

"My heart is too anxious!"

The Taoist looked at the young monks who were impatient to show their ability to climb the stone steps quickly and shook their heads slightly.

Li Xing also climbed the stone steps. He had never practiced, but he was just an ordinary person.

In fact, he is almost twelve years old now. It is very late to start practicing at this age.

Because ordinary children will begin to practice at the age of five or six, which is the most critical time to shape their own foundation.

The severe punishment missed the most critical five or six years.
