Chapter 47: Ascension Conference (Revised)
Time flies, the month is over quickly, there are several children missing in the school, from the inspector to the ordinary schoolchildren, no one talks about them, and no one wants to find out where a few of them are, everyone seems to have been banned.
Of the three fattest children, there are only two left, these two chubby Wei Jucai and Qian Gang are much more honest than before, because they are afraid of getting involved with the demon cultivator, they don't even dare to mention Zhang Yunjie's name to each other, of course, they are still very happy about the disappearance of Wang Haitao and the others. However, the two of them looked at Feng Chengru and Li Xing'an with deep fear in their eyes, and if they looked closely, there was still a hint of resentment in them, but they hid it well, but it was difficult for people to detect.
On this morning, outside the gate of Xuanyang Academy in Linjiang Town, you stand next to me, I stand with you crowded everywhere, and several streets around are also full of people, both children and their parents and elders, but at this time everyone is very quiet, almost no one speaks, everyone seems to be waiting for more important people here.
Today is the day when the Xuanyang General Academy's Ascension to Immortals will be held, all the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Linjiang Town, all the children of appropriate age, now none of them have come to the gate of the academy, if anyone does not send their children to participate in the ascension meeting, as long as they are found out by Xuanyang Academy, there will be no good fruits to eat. Of course, most people are willing to their children to be selected by Xuanyang Academy, after all, monks are superior, and they are highly capable, and their life span is relatively long, everyone is very willing to come from the bottom of their hearts, of course, some have to come, what they think in their hearts, outsiders don't know. Everyone came early, with the idea of occupying a high position, and as a result, the gate and the nearby streets were crowded.
About around the hour, from the edge of the sky flew a light boat, from a distance it seems that there are three or four people standing on it, the speed of the flight is not slow, and so close to find that this boat is not small, the head and tail are more than two zhang long, left and right one zhang wide, it is more appropriate to call it a wooden boat, there is a layer of looming light around the whole hull, wrap it in it, what is inside is not clear, even the faces of those people are also relatively blurred.
The wooden boat came to the sky above the courtyard of the academy, and there were four people fluttering down from above, one of them raised his hand and made a movement, and the wooden boat disappeared in a flash, as if it had never appeared, they hovered above the gate, and someone just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a voice from below.
"Why is the wooden boat gone!"
"Where's the ship?"
"Why did that man fly down from the sky?" A group of children chattered and chattered, and then suddenly burst out, curiosity not only for children, but also for parents and relatives standing next to them, at this time began to talk to each other, not leaving the wooden boat that suddenly disappeared just now.
"Fathers and fellow villagers don't talk anymore!"
"Don't talk, big guys, be quiet, be quiet..."The teacher standing in the gate of the academy shouted loudly at this time, and several of them tried a lot of effort, but they still couldn't calm down the chaotic sound.
"Don't even speak!" a loud and loud voice came from above the gate, and the whining of the street stopped in an instant, and it was so quiet and terrible, as if there was no one,
"Everyone listens to the immortal master's teachings and acts according to the rules they say, do you hear?" a teacher shouted loudly, but he thought in his heart: "I, a mortal, just don't care what I say, you don't listen, the immortal master will scare you all with a word." Hum. ”
"Yes, we hear you. The voices of the people who agreed were still relatively neat.
"Now everyone is listening, only the children are allowed to come in on their own, and the parents and relatives who accompany them are to stay outside and wait outside the gate. All the children we have chosen will stay in the academy tonight, and you will not have to go home again, and when we take them away tomorrow morning, you will be able to meet with them, and I don't know when we will see them again. The monk paused, glanced at the crowd, and when he saw that their attention was attracted to him, he continued,
"We will send people to the door to roll call these selected children, you have to be patient and don't be in a hurry. If they are not selected, the teaching committee of the college will call the child's name at the door, and call out who, whose parents come forward to collect their children. I said ugly things ahead, if anyone dares to come and take the child, after we find out, they will be dealt with as an accomplice of the demon cultivator. Do you understand?" said the monk, and at the end he added a little mana to make his voice a little shocking.
"Master Immortal, we all heard clearly. The people of the street agreed,
"Well, it's good that you understand everything, and if anyone doesn't do what I say, don't blame me for being rude. Let's start now, don't be crowded, and listen to the arrangement of the academy to come in one by one. After the monk had finished speaking, he turned back and discussed with the other three, and then they landed together in the academy.
"Twenty children came in first and followed me, and the rest waited outside. Seeing that there was no longer a need for him to preside over the order, Inspector Chu led the children near the door and walked in and led them to the outside of the small square.
At this time, two small stone platforms have been set up in the small square, one is the width of an adult's palm, and the size is about one adult to stand up, which is more than enough, two of the four immortal masters are standing behind the stone platform, and the other two are standing not far behind the first two.
"Uncle Li, I've brought the children in, do you want to start now?" After Inspector Chu asked the child to stop, he walked quickly to the back and asked one of the monks who was obviously older,
"Let's get started. Li Xuexin glanced at it and ordered,
"Listen, ten people on each side line up, after the first one goes in, wait for the Immortal Master to say yes and then come down, and then the second person goes up again, all the way to the last one, do you hear?" Chu Tianfeng returned to the child's side and said,
"Inspector Chu, we all heard it. Each of the twenty children agreed,
"Alright, let's get started, be the first to stand on the stone platform. Chu Tianfeng said, and then two children came to the stone platform, the monk standing next to the stone platform recited a mantra in his mouth, his hand pointed forward, and a magic decision hit the stone platform, and after a while, a halo was generated on the child's body, one of which was gold, green, blue, red, and / yellow/five colors of aura, and the other halo only had four colors but lacked red.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth five elements spirit root, come down! Go to the back to find those two uncles to register, and the next one will come up." ”
"Jinmu, Water and Earth Four Elements Spiritual Root, it's okay, come down! Go to the back to find those two uncles to register, and the next one will come up." The two monks said to the two children,
"Yes, Immortal Master. The two children happily agreed, and walked towards Li Xuexin and the others after coming down.
The test of these twenty children was carried out very quickly, and only the first two people were found to have spiritual roots, although the great changes in the heavens and the earth that were relatively close to the present day made many more people have spiritual roots among mortals, but this is only relative to the situation before the great change, and the total number of people with spiritual roots is still very small.
Those children who were found to have no spiritual roots, after walking down from the stone platform, some of them cried a handful of snot and tears, some knelt on the ground and begged the monk who presided over the magic circle to re-test again, and some were pampered by the family, seeing the child's posture, they also wanted to pounce on the monk and play Lai Sapo, in order to pass, but they were seen by Chu Inspector to see that things were not good, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, otherwise they would collide with the monk, and then the beating would be light, in case the monk was annoyed and angry, their parents might be affected, and Chu Inspector's personality changed after he came to the academy to teach, and he was still very protective of these children。
"Mei'er, you take these little children who don't have spiritual roots to the gate, and then bring twenty children in" Chu Tianfeng commanded, and then said: "You go to the door to see if Feng Chengru and Li Xing'an have come back, the two of them may be blocked out and can't enter, if so, quickly bring them in." ”
