Chapter 24: The Fallen Witch Gate
When this figure walked in completely, Ji Yulong and Zhu Rong saw the faces of the person who came clearly, and they were both stunned at the same time, this is not the beggar old man I saw at the school gate yesterday!
How did he get here?
The old beggar seemed to be unsteady, walked in step by step, walked straight to the office chair and sat down, looked at Ji Yulong and the two with a smile, and said, "We met again, how is it, did you go smoothly in school?"
Ji Yulong was the first to react, did not answer, and asked rhetorically: "You... Are you the vice president of the college?"
"That's right," the old man replied affirmatively: "Don't look at me as a little undressed, I'm really the vice president of this academy, but I'm a little lazy and don't pay much attention to my image!"
Ji Yulong rolled his eyes, thinking in his heart, where are you not very particular, you are completely in tatters......
Facing the white eyes of Ji Yulong and Zhu Rong, he pretended not to know, and continued: "My name is Wu Qi, and I am the vice president of this Anlin Immortal Academy, but I am relatively lazy, so I basically have no job in the school, and I am almost a nominal vice president. ”
"I know you're more curious about what I'm looking for you for, and I'm not going around the bush, I want to take you two as apprentices, I don't know if you two are willing?"
Hearing this question, Ji Yulong and the others were stunned again, what is the situation, why did they suddenly want to accept the two of them as apprentices?
Is it because the two of them helped him yesterday?
Ji Yulong looked at Wu Qi suspiciously, and asked, "Vice Dean Wu, why did you choose the two of us as your apprentices? It's not that we are arrogant, it's just that there are people in the academy who are more talented than us, why did you choose our two brothers?"
Wu Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "Because I practice witchcraft, it is different from cultivating immortals, and my talent is not the same." ”
"I must have chosen you after testing, when you helped me yesterday, I secretly tested your witchcraft talent, although it is not the top, but it is also very good. ”
"Especially Zhu Rong, your talent in witchcraft cultivation is very strong, if you follow me to practice witchcraft, your achievements will definitely be much greater than practicing immortal law from the martial arts!"
Hearing Wu Qi's words, Ji Yulong was shocked again, witchcraft!
Wu Qi actually practiced witchcraft!
Could it be that the Wu clan still has a heritage in this world?
And Zhu Rong was full of question marks, what kind of exercise was witchcraft, he had naturally never heard of it, and he couldn't understand Wu Qi's words at all.
Wu Qi saw that the two of them were a little stunned, and secretly felt sad in his heart, the decline of the witch road, the world only knows about cultivating immortals, and not many people even know about the existence of witch cultivators and witch gates.
Wu Qi sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it, he just smiled and explained: "In addition to being the vice president of the Anlin Immortal Academy, my identity is also the deacon elder of the Wu Sect. ”
"Our Wumen is an ancient sect that has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and what we people in Wumen practice is not immortal but witchcraft. ”
"Witch cultivators practice witchcraft, but in fact, witchcraft and spiritual power are essentially the same. ”
"However, the immortal method pays attention to attracting spiritual energy into the body, improving the soul power to reach a higher realm, and then using the soul power to strengthen the physical body. ”
"And witchcraft is just the opposite, witchcraft is to attract spiritual energy into the body to improve one's physical strength, and then use the powerful body to strengthen one's soul. ”
"So your immortal cultivation talents are all limited, but your witch cultivation talents are all very high. ”
"If you are willing to worship me as a teacher and enter my witch sect, then I can teach you the witch cultivation method, and your future achievements in practicing witchcraft will definitely be higher than the current stumbling on the immortal law. ”
After listening to Wu Qi's explanation, Zhu Rong roughly understood what kind of existence Wumen and Wu Xiu were, he turned his head to look at Ji Yulong, and looked at Ji Yulong with inquiring eyes, he had always looked at Ji Yulong, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, what do you think? I listen to you, I don't care, I just need to be full~"
Ji Yulong had such an expression, this Zhu fat man was too lazy to use his brain, so he let him choose alone every time.
Although the fat man didn't care, he couldn't make a decision casually, so after thinking for a while, he asked: "Vice President Wu, I would like to ask, what will we get if we join the Wumen, and what obligations will we need to bear? And where is the Wumen now? How many people are there? What level of Wumen is in the Great Qianguo?"
Ji Yulong asked a series of questions at once, which made Wu Qi a little surprised, this 16-year-old boy was very interesting. The grade is light, the thinking is very clear, and he is not reckless, calm like an old fritter.
Ordinary young people know that they can practice more promising exercises, where can they endure it, and they can't wait to agree, but Ji Yulong can calmly analyze the pros and cons.
Seeing that Ji Yulong had been staring at himself after asking, Wu Qi knew that this kid was really not easy to fool, and after a slight groan, he said: "First of all, don't have any worries in your hearts, although our Wumen has a long heritage, but the door rules are not rigid. ”
"The most important thing to join the witchcraft is to be able to learn the witchcraft exercises provided by the master, and this exercise can also be passed on to your own disciples in the future. ”
"If you need other help or better exercises from the Witchcraft, you need to go to the Witchcraft headquarters to complete the corresponding tasks or provide corresponding contributions. ”
"As for the obligation, then there is nothing, unless the Wumen lives and dies, the Wumen will not restrict the freedom of its disciples at other times, as long as they do not do evil in the name of the Wumen. ”
"And even if it is summoned by the headquarters of the Wumen, the disciples do not ask for forced help, it is all up to the individual's free choice. ”
"Because although the Wumen is a sect, it is actually an alliance formed by the inheritors of various witchcraft, and the exercises they practice are passed down from master to apprentice. ”
"Now the headquarters of Wumen is located on Wushan outside the city of Daqiancheng, the capital of the Great Qianguo, and there are only a few people left there, and most of them are traveling outside. ”
"And the total number of Wumen is about five hundred now, which is much less than that of other sects, but the Wumen cultivators are all passed down from master to apprentice, and their general cultivation is much higher, and they also have many top powerhouses. ”
"So although the number of people is not large, the status of Wumen in the Great Qianguo is still not low, at least it is also the existence of the first echelon. ”
"You kid is really shrewd, I guess you are the first person who has not joined the Wumen and asked all the people about the Wumen first!"
Ji Yulong touched his nose embarrassedly, smiled hehe, and said: "I can't help it, both of us are orphans, we don't have any background, and we are finally lucky to enter the academy to practice, so naturally I don't dare to casually make this kind of decision that can affect my life." ”
Wu Qi didn't care about this, took out a gourd from his arms, pulled out the stopper, took two sips, let out a burst of wine, squinted at Ji Yulong and said: "I have understood your situation, it is not easy to be so wary when you are young, I have told you all the things that can be said and cannot be said, as for whether you are willing to worship me as a teacher, you can make your own decision!"
After speaking, Wu Qi also leaned back on the back of the chair and took a sip of wine from time to time.
Although he had already had a plan in his heart, seeing Wu Qi's sloppy dress, lazy appearance, and full of alcohol, this made him very worried.
This old man is obviously not very reliable, don't pit the two of them in the future!
However, Ji Yulong didn't hesitate too much, since he knew that there was a witch gate, Ji Yulong decided that no matter what the situation was, he must join the witch gate.
Only by nominally cultivating witchcraft can he conceal his cultivation of the witch king's formula.
Before, he was worried about how to explain that his physical strength was extremely strong in the future, and his fighting style was different from others, but now this problem has been solved.
As long as he joins the witch sect and pretends to practice ordinary witchcraft, it is the best cover for him, and ordinary people can't see his reality at all!
Ji Yulong looked at Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong just smiled slightly, motioning for him to make a decision. He was helpless and relieved in his heart, Zhu Rong completely trusted him, but it also made him very stressed.
He shook his head depressedly, and said to Wu Qi, who was already drunk: "We are willing to worship you as a teacher, please accept us as an apprentice!"
Wu Qi is very satisfied, this kid is very good, although he took the initiative to find these two boys, but the apprentice also has to have an apprenticeship attitude, the law is not passed on lightly, how can there be a master begging the apprentice to apprentice!
Wu Qi sat in a neat posture, sat upright, and said, "Okay! For the sake of your sincere apprenticeship, then I will agree!"
Then with a wave of his hand, a quaint portrait appeared on the wall, which at a glance knew that it was very old and full of vicissitudes.
However, this ancient painting is very well preserved, only slightly damaged, and it is obviously carefully preserved.
The painting depicts a figure with two fiery dragons on his feet, a huge ball of fire in his hand, and a majestic face that is not angry and self-threatening.
Wu Qi said: "This is the statue of the ancestor, it is said that our lineage is passed down from the fire god Wu Zu, who is good at fire witchcraft, and now you will kneel down three times and bow nine times!"
Ji Yulong and Zhu Rong both felt the coercion coming from this portrait, and this painting was not an ordinary object.
After listening to Wu Qi's words, the two of them consciously turned to the ancient painting and seriously bowed three times and nine bows.
Wu Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you have worshiped me as a teacher, then you will be the disciples of my Wumen Fire God lineage in the future, I will first talk about the rules of our Wumen and the rules of our Fire God lineage......"
Ji Yulong and the two knelt down to listen to those rules, and their legs were already a little numb.
Fortunately, Wu Qi didn't embarrass the two of them anymore, and directly let them get up, and said: "I know that Zhu Rong is a fire attribute physique, and Ji Yulong is a five-attribute physique. ”
"That's why I'm going to teach you the Fire Attribute Witch Cultivation Technique! Legend has it that our Fire God lineage once possessed the Heavenly Rank Technique, but unfortunately it was lost in the era when the aura was thin!"
Wu Qi seems to be very lost, one of the main reasons for the decline of Wumen is the lack of exercises, most of the powerful exercises at the beginning were passed down from generation to generation, and they were easily lost, leaving only some low-level exercises that were widely circulated!
Then Wu Qi took out a piece of jade slip, taught the exercises to Ji Yulong and the two respectively, and said: "Zhu Rong, your single-attribute physique is very suitable for this fire separation technique, and although Ji Yulong is a five-attribute physique, Wu Xiu is not strict in this regard, as long as you cultivate well, the improvement speed will not be slow!"
"It's just that there is one thing you should pay attention to in the future, that is, you can't tell others about the witchcraft you practice in the future, if someone asks, just say that the immortal method of cultivation is more special!"
Ji Yulong and Zhu Rong are a little uncalm now, is there anything unsightly about this witch cultivation method?
He wondered, "Why is that? Is there anything taboo about this?"
Wu Qi's expression was a little unnatural, and he said embarrassedly: "Since you have entered my witch gate, then I have nothing to hide." ”
"After all, witch cultivation and immortal cultivation are two completely different Taoist systems, and now the mainstream of human cultivation is immortal cultivation, almost all sects are immortal cultivators, and all the top powerhouses are immortal cultivators. ”
"This means that almost all sects and empires are based on immortal cultivators, and if too many people choose to cultivate witches, it will affect the interests of many sects and even empires. ”
"Therefore, our witch sect is resisted by the vast majority of immortal cultivator sects, and our witch sect will also be subject to a lot of restrictions and suppression in normal times. ”
Ji Yulong and Zhu Rong were dumbfounded, this is still a pit!
Joining the Witch Gate does not mean that it is a heresy in this era, and it will be disliked by many people.
It's a huge pit!
Wu Qi continued: "Actually, I have tested almost all the freshman Wu Xiu qualifications, although the qualifications of the two of you are already very strong, but they are not the best in this class. ”
"In fact, the qualification of witch cultivation is largely linked to the qualification of cultivating immortals, after all, it is all about absorbing aura. ”
"The best qualifications in this session are actually the little girl named Gong Linxi and that Tang Feiyu, and a few others are similar to you. ”
"It's a pity that they are all geniuses among the freshmen, and they are all treasures of the academy, Old Man Kong will never let them follow me to cultivate witches!"
"So don't look at me as the vice principal, but I don't have much choice to accept apprentices every year, so I can only select students with good martial arts cultivation qualifications from among the freshmen with average immortal cultivation qualifications. ”
It turns out that the two of them were picked and leftover!
This is what Ji Yulong and Zhu Rong think now, it turns out that they are people who the academy doesn't care about, so they will be selected by Wu Qi to be apprentices, and the academy will not let go at all if they are students with good qualifications.
It felt like taking the first place in the exam, but the teacher said that this time it was just a pre-exam simulation, and the original best group of people took leave and didn't come to the exam!
Ji Yulong and Zhu Rong both had a feeling that they were going to vomit blood, and they were ignored again!
