Chapter 8: Spiritually Measuring Ritual (1)
After coming in, Ouyang Chaifan and the two didn't have time to carefully appreciate the various tall and majestic buildings and beautiful scenery of this sect, the two went straight to the central square after asking about the place of the spirit measurement ceremony, and the two quickly came to the square, at this time the two found that the central square was already crowded with people, the circular square was huge, and the children standing in the center of the square were all from five to sixteen years old, these children were undoubtedly here to participate in the spirit testing ceremony, they were all children of various families and ordinary families, they all lined up in accordance with the prescribed way of queuing at the ten stone platforms in the center, and there was a middle-aged man in black robe standing next to each stone platformStone platforms are placed side by side in the middle of the square, and very strange runes are drawn on the ground, arranged into circles according to special rules, and a strange stone is placed on each stone platform.
Ouyang Chaifan looked at these strangely shaped stones and said secretly: "This should be the spirit stone that my sister explained to him on the road!" , the ten stones are all circular, suspended on the stone platform, the translucent spirit stone glows with a faint pale yellow light, it looks very strange and mysterious under the illumination of the moonlight, each square is surrounded by a section of stepped platforms, different heights, there are bonfires placed on the stone platform corridor of each step, and the flames illuminate the whole square, and the seats of the platform sit middle-aged men and women in various gorgeous costumes, they are all from the very wealthy families in the city, of course, there are also ordinary people in cloth, but they all sit on the lowest step in front, it is obvious that this step is arranged according to the status and dignity of the people。 Seeing this, Ouyang Chai Fan still couldn't help but feel shocked, there are so many great families in this Wushuang City, so many competing sects, so many families can be gathered, and some of them are from other cities, the prestige of this Imperial Sword Villa is so high, this appeal is really strong! Looking around, the seats in the center of the audience in the square are very dignified and magnificent, the left is the elder seat, the right is the disciple seat, and it is likely that there are powerful and outstanding elders and disciples in the sect, because there are very few, there are only ten on the left, and there are only twenty on the right, but they are all sharp-eyed, and their aura is magnificent! Ouyang Chai Fan guessed that this is likely to be the representative force within the sect! And on the seat in the center of the stairs on the highest floor sat a middle-aged man, wearing a white robe inlaid with gold, with a handsome face, sharp edges and corners, and eyes sharp, next to him sat a woman wearing a hairpin, extremely beautiful and dignified, and next to the woman sat a little girl about six years old, the little girl had a delicate and lovely face, with cute short hair, looking at the seat below so lively, and kept shouting in a delicate tone below: "Come on, brother, brother, the best! brother, the best!!" The cute tone makes the people around laugh!
At this time, the middle-aged man was smiling and looking at the center of the square, Ouyang Chaifan followed his gaze and looked to the right, it was the boy at the back of the first row, the boy was about ten years old, the boy was very similar to the middle-aged man, it was carved out of a mold, the boy was also wearing a white robe inlaid with gold, his long black hair hung straight back, his eyes were bright, his skin was fair, and he had a calm smile on his face, and the confident temperament exuded from the depths of his heart made the boy look as if he was spotless and unearthly! As if sensing something, he raised his head to look at Ouyang Chaifan, looked at Ouyang Chaifan's strange light red pupils, trembled slightly, and then resumed his charming smile full of confidence, Ouyang Chaifan looked at the other party's smiling face that seemed to never change and felt very comfortable.
There were nine old men standing on the edge of the square, wearing black robes, with solemn expressions, Ouyang Chaifan and Yue Xiaoqing held hands and quickly ran to the square, and after explaining the situation at the door to one of the old men standing in the square, the old man's eyes widened, staring at Ouyang Chaifan and the two for a moment, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching!
"Grandpa, can we go in?
Yue Xiaoqing asked in a low voice, and without waiting for the old man to answer, he had already pulled Ouyang Chaifan towards the crowd in the center of the square, and there were glances on the central steps! Including the middle-aged man in the gold-inlaid white robe who was the leader, the old man looked at Ouyang Chaifan and the two of them who got into the crowd, and wanted to run over to catch them, but suddenly realized something, he looked at the middle-aged man in a gold-inlaid white robe sitting in the center of the top floor of the square in the east, and when he saw that the middle-aged man had the intention of stopping, he calmed down, looked at the people around him and looked up at everyone
"The time has come!" The old man said secretly, as if he had some scruples, and then stomped his feet angrily, blew his beard and stared at his eyes, lowered his head and scolded angrily: "Wuyi, Wuyi! You little rabbit cub, let you take care of those ordinary people, if you can't check it well, you will immediately kick and bomb down the mountain, you are good, you stole my elixir, and was punished to guard the door, and you are still so dead, even a beggar can let me in! Look at how I clean you up tomorrow, I'm really angry! I'm so angry!"
"Ahh
Outside the gate of the Imperial Sword Sect, on a stone platform at the door, Wu Yi woke himself up with a sneeze! Heng Qi release is the most basic and simplest use of common sense by Heng Shi, at this time Wu Yi did not have the slightest sense of coldness, he looked around sleepily and shouted: "Who? Who!!" Then he yawned and lay down and fell asleep...... Lin Xin, who was snoring beside him, was indifferent to Wuyi's earth-shattering sneezing, roaring, and yawning, and did not react at all.
In the central square of the Imperial Sword Sect
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked, then got up and looked at the square below him, teenagers in different clothes occupied this huge central square, there were nearly five thousand people, everyone was quiet at this time, the man looked at the little faces below and nodded with satisfaction, and said to the teenagers below and the audience: " Tianheng Continent, the strong are respected, the strength is the supreme, among you there is the only son of the rich family, with all kinds of cultivation resources and wealth accumulated by your parents for you, you have no worries about food and clothing, but you want to rely on yourself, want to use your own strength to become a strong, you have chosen your own path, children! After the spirit measurement ceremony, you will activate your own Heng Qi, become a disciple of my Imperial Sword Sect, learn the Heng Technique Exercises, and you will become a real strong man in the future!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the middle-aged man immediately said: "And those ordinary children from civilian cloth clothes, let me ask you, before you came here, were you blocked outside this Imperial Sword Sect!?" Many children nodded, and Ouyang Chai Fan and Yue Xiaoqing also nodded.
The middle-aged man then said: "This is actually just a test, it has nothing to do with wealth and face, I just want to see if the children of poor families are weak people who have no ambition and no perseverance, but you have proved that you are not weak with your own actions, you will not be weaker than anyone else in the future, remember my words, keep this original intention, you will grow here in the future and become a real, strong person." ”
The applause rang out again, and the middle-aged man immediately said earnestly word by word: "Children, the Tianheng Continent is cruel and bloody, and the demons are rampant in Qingzhou, not only the Wushuang City, but also the major cities, and even many empires are in turmoil! While you are pursuing power and becoming stronger, I hope you can all remember: Do not forget your original intention, you can be great! No matter where you come from or what your background is, I welcome you in Monan City! I welcome you in the Imperial Sword Sect!"
The audience erupted in thunderous applause! Yue Xiaoqing said to Ouyang Chaifan: "Xiaofan, this Imperial Sword Sect is actually very good, even better than I imagined!"
After hearing this, Ouyang Chai Fan shrugged his shoulders, still unmoved, and shook his head in his heart and said secretly: "Life is the most important thing!" This is also the most important and profound sentence in Ouyang Chai Fan's heart, because this sentence was told to him by the man in his memory fragment.
Ouyang Chaifan turned his head to look at the parents of the children in the audience, and he suddenly thought of those memory fragments that flickered in his mind! In fact, he really wanted to know where his parents were, whether they were okay, and who he was? What had he experienced? But he didn't dare to think about it too much, because when he thought of this, his head ached! After thinking about it, he shook his head and said secretly in his heart: "No matter what has happened to me, it doesn't matter what will happen in the future, let's talk about it in the future!" Now, I just want to live, live for my sister, and make her happy and happy!" Ouyang Chai Fan looked at Yue Xiaoqing, who was constantly applauding and nodding, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
