21, apprenticeship

Everyone followed the leader in front of them, and after a long time, they finally came to the Taihe Palace. It is said to be a temple, but this huge scale is much higher than the average hall. I saw the red lacquer stone pillars standing all around, and the golden dragon and pillar were surrounded by colorful phoenixes. Behind the pillar, there is a red lacquered wooden door, and the height of a single wooden door is more than 20 meters, which shows how huge the scale of the whole hall is.

"Open the door. The leader said to the guard-like men standing on either side. I saw the guard holding a spear and his arm for a while, and suddenly there was a roar, which was shocking. And the door opened.

With a gesture of his right hand, the leader walked in with the shocked crowd.

The style of the interior and exterior of the Taihe Hall is diametrically opposite, but it is somewhat similar to the main hall outside the door, except that a statue of a god is enshrined in the middle, and other than that, it is just a simple decoration, and there is no luxurious arrangement.

"Qiqi family head, all the fifty-one people who were selected yesterday have been brought, this is the list, and I also invite the family head and all the elders and seniors to check it. The leader respectfully held the list in his hand and said.

There is an old Taoist sitting in the middle of the hall, it is Xiao Quan that Wu Zhong saw yesterday, his right side is Li Yunhe, and further to the right are three Taoists, one man, two women, and four Taoists, and on the left side of Xiao Quan, there are three men and one woman, all of whom Wu Zhong has never seen.

Below these people, there were less than ten Taoists, ranging in age, the younger one looked similar to Wu Zhong, and the older one looked even older than Xiao Quan. The appearance of the old dragon bell makes people worry that it will not last for a few days. And behind these people, there stood one or two young Taoists, presumably the apprentices of these people.

Wu Zhong looked left and right, but he didn't see Li Mingyu. It stands to reason that Xiao Quan calls her junior sister, and there should be a place for her in this situation, but she is not seen in the hall.

Xiao Quan flipped through the roster in his hand, but in fact, he secretly used his divine sense to probe these more than fifty young people. Like he said, the quality of this year is indeed not as good as before, although it is not far off, but it does not bode well. Fortunately, among the more than 50 people, there are finally people who can pass it.

More than 50 people in the audience saw that the head of the family had not moved for a long time, and they couldn't help but start talking to each other. Seeing this, Xiao Quan didn't pay much attention, but pretended not to care. Although Xiao Quan didn't make any moves, some of those elders stood up.

"On the top of the main hall, many seniors are sitting in it, ignoring us and others, turning heads and ears, what kind of system!" A woman in a red shirt stood up, only to see that this person was like an angry King Kong, his eyes were on fire, and his temper was not very good at first glance.

Seeing this, the speaker quickly kept silent.

This move is in the eyes of these masters, and at this moment they already have a preliminary evaluation of these people in their hearts.

Xiao Quan saw that there was no longer any movement from the people below, so he slowly got up: "Hello fellow Daoists, I am the head of the Xiao family in Lanling, and my name is Xiao Quan. Thanks to your love, my Xiao family has today's status with the help of all parties. Since we are a foil from all sides, we will naturally not forget to give back to everyone's help, so every once in a while we will recruit casual cultivators like you, tutor them, and try our best to help you clear your doubts and assist you in your cultivation. ”

Xiao Quan paused, and then said: "Since it is counseling, everyone's cultivation methods are different, so naturally we can't generalize everything. Therefore, we have arranged for qualified masters of this sect to come, in order to be able to better build you and improve your cultivation. Next, we will ask you to choose your disciples. ”

"Here I would like to remind you that once you choose, then you can't change the court, let alone do anything that violates the training. Once you do, don't blame us for showing no mercy, abolishing the cultivation, and driving you out. Li Yunhe stood up and said.

At this time, Li Yunhe's face was serious, and he didn't have the kind look he had when he talked to Qiu Haoxuan yesterday.

Everyone nodded their heads and said yes.

Silence ensued. Wu Zhong listened to the words of several seniors, and naturally didn't dare to look around, let alone talk to others, so he had to wait. But after waiting for a long time, there is still no change.

Suddenly, someone walked out and stood behind one of the masters, and then the second and third left the crowd one after another and stood behind one of the masters. Soon, these people were like little tadpoles finding their mothers, standing behind those who had cultivated profoundly.

Qiu Haoxuan stood behind Li Yunhe, who was smiling all over his face at this moment, looking proud.

At this time, Wu Zhong suddenly understood in his heart that it must be these seniors who had determined their disciples through their minds. But I still haven't received the message, is it because no one has chosen me?

"They didn't pick us. At this time, Gao Fei said suddenly.

Wu Zhong naturally knew that he was very anxious at the moment. Yesterday, Li Mingyu's eyes were obviously different, could it be that he was wrong? Or was there some other reason that he and Gao Fei were not selected.

Soon there were only Wu Zhong and the others in the main hall. At this moment, Wu Zhong's face was already hot, as if he heard others laughing at him. Facing the eyes of nearly a hundred people, Wu Zhong was really embarrassed, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground at the moment and never come out again.

But Gao Fei on the side seemed to have nothing to do with him, what was just now, and what he was still like now.

Xiao Quan looked at the two people in the audience and did not speak. At this time, Li Yunhe stood up and said loudly: "The apprentice selection ceremony is over. Those who are not selected will be sent out by the door and will not be recruited. I now declare that today ... Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sudden thunderous sound from the top of the hall, and the sound was like the gasp of a man who had just woken up.

Wu Zhong looked at the voice, it turned out to be the old man who looked older than Xiao Quan, and at this moment he was sitting on the side, sleepy-eyed, stretching his waist, and looking happy, as if he had a sweet dream just now.

Li Yunhe was interrupted by this sudden change, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart: "Yu Hui, what are you doing?"

The old man named Yu Hui looked at everyone, then at Li Yunhe, and suddenly said with wide eyes, "Is this the end?"

"It's over. Li Yunhe said angrily.

Yu Hui slapped his thigh angrily, and said angrily to the person behind him, "Why don't you wake me up?"

The person behind him was his eldest apprentice Gong Yan, with a simple face, and at this moment, seeing the master scolding himself, he felt a stomach full of grievances in his heart: "I called you, didn't you wake up... ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly burst into laughter.

Yu Hui seemed to be used to everyone like this, regardless of them, but instead stretched out his hand and hit Gong Yan, as if he was going to beat him hard to relieve his anger.

"Okay, Senior Brother Yu, the juniors are here, what are you like. Someone said with a smile.

"What does it matter to you that I discipline my own apprentice?" Yu Hui said, "Don't pretend there. ”

The man's face turned blue when he heard this, and he stopped talking angrily.

Yu Hui got up and said to Xiao Quan: "I don't care, this can't be counted." "I can't see a trace of master's demeanor with a scoundrel's face.

Xiao Quan also looked helpless, this is a head higher than himself according to seniority, but he has never wanted others to call him that, so he and the head of each generation are commensurate with brothers.

"Senior brother, this is also something that can't be helped, how do you know that you just fell asleep. And it's all settled, so we can't do it again. Xiao Quan said.

Yu Hui didn't care what it was, he blindly said that he wanted to choose again. Seeing this, Li Yunhe was afraid that Xiao Quan would be soft-hearted for a while, so he agreed to this unreasonable request. He knew what was going on with this old fellow. So he got up and said, "I can understand Senior Brother Yu's feelings, but the matter has come to this point, you can't let all the disciples who have been accepted and let you choose again, Senior Brother, right? If this matter spreads, what should people outside say about our Lanling Xiao clan. ”

When the others heard this, they hurriedly chimed in. Yu Hui also knew in his heart that he couldn't do this, but seeing that others were full of peaches and plums, he was really angry with a rotten apple behind him: "Then you say, what should I do? You can't give me one, right?"

When Xiao Quan heard this, he saw that there was relief, and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, look, aren't there two people there?"

Yu Hui looked at Xiao Quan's hand and saw that the two young people were standing there at a loss, one of them was still nervous, and there was a problem at first glance, while the other was in tatters, and he was still wearing a robe in the style that no one had worn for a long time, and there was no mana fluctuation on his body, and he was obviously very poor, so he hurriedly said, "I don't want it." ”

Xiao Quan looked helpless when he heard this. And Wu Zhong heard it, even more so, is he so unpopular?

Li Yunhe was afraid that he would make another unreasonable request, so he hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Yu, do you think this is good, you put them under him, and I and several senior brothers will each give you a magic weapon, is this feasible?" Everyone was reluctant when they heard this, but because of Li Yunhe's affection, they agreed, and when the time came, they just found something to prevaricate.

Yu Hui listened, thought about it for a while, and stretched out two fingers: "Two pieces!"

"No way!"

"Absolutely not!" the others quickly refused, and reluctantly accepted one, let alone two.

Li Yunhe naturally didn't want to hear it: "No." ”

Yu buckled his nose back, a pinch of nose hair ran out, and he stuffed it back again: "If you don't want to, give me the kid behind you, I look good." ”

Li Yunhe's heart was tired for a while, Qiu Haoxuan had snatched it from several other elders with great effort, but now he wanted him to give it up, it was impossible!

"If you don't want to, then two magic weapons! Otherwise, I'll take that kid away." It's up to you to do it yourself. Yu Hui crossed his legs and said with a fearless look.

Li Yunhe was really angry in his heart, but it was not easy to get angry in front of everyone, and even if he was angry, he was not the opponent of that old guy.

"Senior brother, two is too many. Li Yunhe begged for mercy, "If you don't have one, I promise it's a good thing." What do you think?"

Yu Hui smiled and slapped hard: "Deal!"

Wu Zhong looked at the way a few people came and went, although he was dismissed in the end, he was not happy at all.

Gao Fei didn't think about it so much, and seeing that the matter was over, he walked behind the old man and stood on his own. Seeing this, Wu Zhong had no choice but to walk over in full view of everyone.
