464.Pleasant Sect Daily Life (2)
Gu Lan came quietly and left quietly. โโกโ โโฟ
Even her aunt couldn't make Gu Liang show favoritism, let alone others, who came to the door to ask for a meeting.
In the face of the secret entrapment and bribery of various factions, Gu Liang's handling method was both direct and ruthless, including Gu Lan, many people were unhappy.
But no matter how unhappy they are, they have to hold back and endure it.
Gu Liang is famous, she even dares to kill the disciples of the True Venerable of the Transformation God, and even the heirs of the black market, who else does she dare not deal with?
Background, you say?
Behind Gu Liang is the head of the family, and the head of the family holds a lot of power, whose background can cross her?
In the silky light rain of spring, the Qiankun Sect disciple recruitment conference began the first round of qualification examinations, and the assessment locations were large and small cities in the sphere of influence.
As the supreme examiner, it was also one of Gu Liang's responsibilities to monitor the order of the examination rooms, and she received the relevant magic weapons and talismans in the Qiankun Sect's Treasure Pavilion, and began to patrol resignedly.
In the world of the Divine Desolation, each force has its own territory, just like between countries, the territorial division of different forces is very strict and indivisible.
For example, the Qiankun faction, this behemoth that has stood as the overlord of Dongzhou for thousands of years, has thousands of large and small cities, and its territory occupies one-third of the entire Dongzhou.
In addition to Dongzhou itself, the Qiankun faction also occupies territory in Nanling, Beiyuan, and Zhongzhou, although the place is not large and not prosperous, but it can also be called the scale of medium power.
In addition to the Divine Desolate World, there are hundreds of small worlds under the jurisdiction of the Qiankun Sect. The cultivation conditions of these small worlds may not be as good as those of the Divine Desolation, and the cultivation to the Golden Pill is already at the end, but the people with spiritual roots are no less than the Divine Desolation.
With such a vast territory, if Gu Liang had to take a look at every examination room, it would not work without a year or two. By that time, the Qiankun Sect's recruitment conference had already ended, and maybe the disciples who had entered the school would have the third level of qi refining and the fourth level of qi refining.
Therefore, Gu Liang's patrol only selectively selected a few places, looked around, and when the time was about the same, he had to come back to preside over the final entrance exam.
Gu Liang's first stop was in Juque City, where she had a short stay, not only selling a rare spirit beast in her hand, but also seeing Bizhu.
As for Yu Tan, Si Ren has passed away, and he recalls it just to add to his sadness.
Coming to Juque City again, Gu Liang entered the city with Ah Yu in a very low-key manner, just like two young female cultivators who had just stepped into the cultivation realm and didn't know anything.
Ah Yu has never been out of the witch wilderness since he was born, and later he practiced successfully in the Black Mountain and got out of the customs, and happened to meet Li Mi and Chang Yi, so he came to the Qiankun sect together, and his understanding of the divine desolate world was not great.
In the distant past, the Wu clan and the merman clan were world friends, and Ah Hui also had a good time with Mimeng, and the relationship was so sure that even Gu Liang, who introduced them to them, was a little apprehensive.
However, Mimeng's mind was still in the endless collection of books in the Library Pavilion, and she did not follow Gu Liang to travel around the customs of the cities of the Qiankun Sect, but Ah Yu was quite interested in it.
Juque City is full of people, Tai is half a young and immature face, and the old Jindan monks and Yuanying monks are rare.
Just like Lanyue City, most of these young monks came to become disciples of the Qiankun Sect.
After all, the recruitment conference is held once every ten years, and the age is strictly limited, and a monk can only participate four times in his life.
Walking in Juque City with Gu Liang, what Ah Yu saw in his eyes was full of novelties, and the questions in his mouth were one after another.
Gu Liang has always been well-read, and she has been to Juque City, and she knows more about Juque City than the local residents.
In the past few months, Gu Liang has also had a lot of experience in solving the doubts of her younger brothers and sisters at the Little Siji Peak, and her narration is easy to understand and has a lot of expectations for people to continue listening.
Not long after, Gu Liang and Ah Yu were surrounded by many monks who had just arrived in Juque City.
There are many people, and it is not just Ah Yu who asks; Their problem was not just related to Juque City, but more to the Qiankun Sect Disciple Recruitment Conference.
Most of these monks are in the foundation building period and the qi refining period, and they can't see the cultivation of Gu Liang and Ah Yu, probably because they think that these two female cultivators are good-looking and have a very good temperament, so they shouldn't be difficult to get along with.
Gu Liang's original intention was to open his eyes with Ah Yu and increase his knowledge by the way, of course, he would not be carried away by everyone's questions.
She picked out the questions that everyone was more concerned about and answered, and threw the rest of the questions to the relevant disciples in charge of the assessment in Juque City, and continued to introduce Juque City to Ah Yu.
Everyone also knew that they should not go too far, and those who were interested continued to listen, and those who were not interested left.
At noon, the first round of qualification exams in Juque City began in the main square in the center of the city.
Monks and spectators who wanted to qualify flocked to the scene, and the scene was crowded and extremely hot. If it weren't for the forbidden air array arranged in the city, and the law enforcement team to maintain order, I'm afraid the sky would be densely packed with people.
The audience and the referring friars are separated, and the reference friars are divided into different age groups.
For example, children who have not yet started to practice at the age of four or five will only be assessed to test their spiritual root qualifications, and then try to see how good their minds are. If you are excellent in both aspects, you will naturally be able to get the qualifications to join the Qiankun Sect, and you will not even need to take the final exam, and you can directly become a disciple of the Qiankun Sect.
As for teenagers and young people in their twenties, the assessment of these people is not only their spiritual root qualifications, but more importantly, their cultivation, strength and character.
Ah Yu went to find delicious and fun by herself, Gu Liang mixed in among the reference monks, although she was beautiful, but her temperament was mediocre, and she didn't look remarkable at all.
Monk Jindan's methods are not comparable to Monk Zhuji, back then she wore a disguised mask and was worried about being seen through, but now Gu Liang does not need a mask and will not attract attention, unless she reveals her identity.
The chief examiner in the examination room where Gu Liang was presiding was a slightly chubby Jindan monk, who looked like he was around forty or fifty years old, converted into bone age, and should have lived for three or four hundred years.
Gu Liang stared at the examiner sitting at the top for a while, and followed the flow of people into the examination room.
The first level of assessment is qualification, which is the easiest, whether it is a heavenly spirit root or a five spirit root, as long as there is a spirit root, you can pass it. If it is a special physique, or a natural eye like Xu Jiaqing, such as Gu Liang's heavenly fire, then it is even more appropriate.
The second level of assessment is cultivation strength, this level can brush down most of the monks, and most people are also sighing because of this level. With the strong strength of the late stage of Jindan, Gu Liang easily passed the test, looking at the monks in the foundation building stage of the Qi refining period beside her, she had a feeling of bullying children.
The third level is a test of the mind, the first two levels of passers are all concentrated in a large formation, if you can hold on for a quarter of an hour, you can go to the Qiankun sect to participate in the final exam.
Maybe this illusion was very difficult for others, but this was just a small meaning for Gu Liang, who had already established his Dao heart, and he broke free from the shackles of the illusion almost in two or three breaths after the formation was activated.
On the contrary to her, there are reference monks who had a mental breakdown and were teleported out when they just sank into the illusion realm, they may have the qualifications and strength, but unfortunately their hearts are not good, and most of their cultivation is taken by taking pills.
Gu Liang didn't open her eyes and get up immediately, she slowly let go of her divine sense, but found two old people who had crossed paths among the monks who participated in the assessment.
One is the thief who robbed Gu Liang's mustard seed bag back then, and the other is Ye Wen, who happened to see him in the mysterious world.
Seeing the thief, Gu Liang was not surprised, the other party was originally from Juque City, and it was common for him to participate in the assessment and want to become a disciple of the Qiankun Sect.
And when encountering the unexpected Ye Wen, this is a little worth pondering.
In the road to death "WTO entry", Gu Liang became Ye Wen's sister Ye Hui, which can be summarized as accidental.
In the vast and boundless mysterious world, he met Ye Wen, who was seriously injured, Gu Liang gave him a magic weapon elixir, and the right to end the cause and effect of borrowing Ye Hui's identity back then, which was a very coincidental thing.
How vast the world of the Divine Desolation is, the cities of the Qiankun Sect are as many as stars, and there are dozens of examination rooms in Juque City, Gu Liang can see Ye Wen at this time, and I have to say that there is indeed an indescribable fate between the two.
The monk believed in his life, but he did not believe in it.
Gu Liang's heart rippled in a shallow circle and regained her calm, she thought, no matter whether she was related to Ye Wen or not, she just had to go with the flow.
Nearly eight years have passed since the last time we met, and Ye Wen has also grown from a teenager to a young man, his broken arm has not been repaired by a doctor, and he has an empty sleeve, which looks quite desolate.
Ye Wen probably didn't mix very well, he had a few more scars on his face, and his temperament was resolute and fierce. Cultivation is in the middle stage of foundation building, and the realm is not stable, it should have only recently broken through, and the dress is not as good as the many monks sitting in the array.
The virtual illusion is a test of the mind, and it can easily hook up the obsession hidden in the monk's heart. Ye Wen's face was full of anger, the green tendons on his neck were beating slightly, and he seemed to be going to open his eyes and kill at any time, obviously immersed in the illusion and difficult to extricate himself.
At this time, most of the people left in the formation were people with firm hearts.
They were immersed in the virtual world constructed by the formation, struggling like Ye Wen, not to mention seeing through the illusion, even if they held on for a quarter of an hour, it was not easy.
The qualification to take the final examination is not so easy to obtain, and if you want to stand out from the thousands of monks, you must have both strength and heart.
A long quarter of an hour gradually passed, and most of the thousands of monks in the formation were eliminated, and only a few forty or fifty people remained, and Ye Wen and the thief were among them.
However, in some cases, it is not possible to obtain the qualification to go to the Qiankun sect through the assessment, such as now:
"Scattered cultivation Ye Wen, from the small world of Class 118, has lived in Juque City for five years?" The white fat examiner pinched Ye Wen's cyan identity jade plate and squinted his eyes at him, "I think I should have heard your name, before the Chinese New Year, you crippled one of my distant nephews." โ
Ye Wen, who was standing in front of Gu Liang, pursed his lips tightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
He replied: "He wants to take away my demon pill, and he does not hesitate to kill me, and it is already benevolent to spare his life." โ
He was not at fault in this matter, so Ye Wen admitted it calmly.
As the overlord of Dongzhou, the Qiankun faction probably wouldn't turn him away for this reason.
The examiner smiled gloomily, stared at Ye Wen and continued: "No, this matter is not enough for me to remember you. I heard that you recently got a good spirit beast egg, and the Treasure Beast Pavilion wanted to buy it, but you were injured by you, is this serious? โ
Ye Wen was silent and nodded slowly.
"Do you know how to punish people for hurting someone for no reason?" The chief examiner threw the identity jade plate in front of Ye Wen, and said with a contemptuous smile, "My Qiankun Sect is not a demon sect, and I don't need people who do nothing to do anything!" โ
Ye Wen understood.
The examiner will not allow him to qualify for the final examination.
Ye Wen looked around and found that there were still more than a dozen monks, so he spoke: "Please allow me to explain, I am not doing nothing, but ......"
The examiner coldly interrupted him: "No, you don't need to explain. Because of your past bad deeds, the Qiankun Sect will never include you in the sect! The Treasure Beast Pavilion is also a large gateway in Juque City, and there are countless rare beasts in it, why do you snatch your spirit beast eggs for no reason? โ
Ye Wen was speechless for a while: "I ......"
The examiner waved his hand: "Disqualify him!" Next up...... Gu Liang? โ
After pronouncing this name, the examiner's eyes widened in astonishment, he stared at Gu Liang, who had an average temperament, remembering the appearance of the rumored disciple in charge, and the fat on his body trembled involuntarily.
"You are Gu Rongsu... Appearance... Rong Su real people! โ
How could this murderous lord who is like chopping melons and vegetables come to Juque City!
Finished!
It's really over!
Hey, he doesn't want to die yet!
After killing several second-generation cultivators with strength and background in a row, Gu Rongsu's reputation is still very loud in Dongzhou, especially among the younger generation of monks, there are not a few people who take her as an example.
Hearing the voice of the examiner trembling, the examination room suddenly quieted down, and the focus of people's attention almost fell on Gu Liang, including Ye Wen.
Gu Liang ignored others, she stepped forward calmly, took out her identity jade plate and put it in front of the examiner, and said with a smile: "Huang Daoyou, I remember that you don't seem to have the right to cancel your qualification." โ
The fat man quickly stood up, wiped the sweat on his face, and said flatteringly: "You don't know the truth, he ......"
Gu Liang waved her hand, she put away the purple jade plate of the disciple in charge, looked at Ye Wen and said, "You are the person concerned, you explain." After that, he glanced around the crowd, "Do you need to clear the field?" โ
Ye Wen glanced at Gu Liang deeply, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, no need." โ
Walking back in front of the examiner, Ye Wen sorted out his thoughts and explained the matter one by one.
The reason for Ye Wen's fight with the Treasure Beast Pavilion monk was a fist-sized spirit beast egg, Ye Wen thought that this picked up egg was very ordinary, and it was indeed to be sold at the beginning.
But the palm of the Treasure Beast Pavilion stared at the spirit beast egg for a long time, and asked the palm of the six products to personally identify it, saying that it was just an ordinary egg, and the ordinary price was offered.
Ye Wen was secretly suspicious, said that he would not sell it, and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the door of the Treasure Beast Pavilion, he was targeted.
Ye Wen is not a character who allows others to rub and knead round, he in turn beats the stalker and walks away.
As a result, within two quarters of an hour, Ye Wen was approached by the law enforcement team, saying that he was not satisfied with the price of the Treasure Beast Pavilion and injured the monks of the Treasure Beast Pavilion, which violated the specifications of the city, and wanted to put him in prison.
Ye Wente was cunning, he knew that most of this matter could not be good, and he was definitely in and out of prison, so he simply blended in with the monks who participated in the assessment, and planned to leave Juque City through the channels of the Qiankun faction.
But I didn't want to, the assessment was passed, but I was immediately recognized by the examiner and disqualified.
"Do you have anything to explain?" After hearing this, Gu Liang slightly curled his lips to look at the examiner, and said meaninglessly, "This is just his side of the story, and it is not enough to win my trust." โ
It's the Treasure Beast Pavilion again, and it's not the first time that such a big store has bullied customers.
She didn't want to care about the past, but when they bumped into her, Gu Liang was embarrassed to say that she didn't see it.
The examiner blinked his small eyes and said, "I just received a report from the Treasure Beast Pavilion, and I don't know the truth. โ
This guy is cunning, and he has completely left his relationship with the Treasure Beast Pavilion clean.
Gu Liang glanced at him with a smile: "This real person is the supreme examiner of this recruitment conference, and if you cancel the qualification of the monk without permission, this examiner will not have to do it." โ
"As for your bias in listening to and believing others, this matter is related to whether you accept bribes from others in private, and you can know whether you are wronged or not by following me to the court."
Facts speak louder than words, and the examiner has said it wildly, and he has to go to court.
As the saying goes, killing a chicken is an example to a monkey, and this chicken can't be killed easily, you must impress the monkey enough, otherwise it's useless to kill it.
Furthermore, although the city is inseparable from the sect, there are also contradictions between the two.
In the Divine Desolate World, most of the cities belong to the sect, and a large number of resources and excellent disciples are sent to the sect every year; The sect received offerings from the castle, protected the castle from war, and did not interfere in the internal affairs of the castle.
When a city becomes more and more prosperous, the ambitions of those in power will also swell, why should the excellent monks and most of the resources be handed over to the sect, but they themselves cannot rely on these resources and talents to become stronger?
The contradictions accumulate day by day, becoming deeper and deeper, and one day they will completely erupt.
In particular, there have been successful examples of the city breaking away from the "protection" of the sect and gaining independence in Zhongzhou, and it is unwilling not to take a chance.
Gu Liang thought to himself, Chunwei arranged the first stop of the Supreme Examiner's patrol in Juque City, most likely because she knew about her old grudge with the Treasure Beast Pavilion.
If he doesn't think too much, then she can show this knife well.
In the public court of the Law Enforcement Hall in Juque City, Ye Wen and a deacon of the Treasure Beast Pavilion were arguing, and the yellow fat man's face was pale and silent.
Gu Liang sat in the public court, holding his chin to watch the two of them talking, but he looked like he was watching a play not like an interrogation.
It wasn't until an inconspicuous law enforcement hall disciple quietly handed over a jade pupil that Gu Liang sat up lazily and slapped the table and said, "I only believe in evidence, and whoever of you can come up with evidence, I will believe him." โ
The spirit beast egg that caused the dispute had been taken out by Ye Wen and placed in front of Gu Liang, she glanced at the deacon of the Treasure Beast Pavilion and said, "Whether your Treasure Beast Pavilion covets Ye Wen's spirit beast egg, you will know when this egg is verified." โ
The deacon of the Treasure Beast Pavilion said unhurriedly: "This is just an ordinary spirit beast egg, Rong Su Zhenren can ask the palm eye of Juque City to come and identify it." I recommend Mr. Xiao Changning Xiao, who is well-informed, has handled countless rare spirit beast eggs, and is extremely fair, and will never look away. โ
Xiao Changning?
This person is also known to her.
Gu Liang smiled slightly, looked at the law enforcement hall disciples beside him, and said gently, "Since the deacon highly recommends it, then go and invite Mr. Xiao here." โ
