Chapter 15: Stones
"I don't know how old you are?" the honest representative called together the five people who came forward and asked in front of everyone.
The five disciples did not hide their age, two disciples were thirty-five years old, and the other three disciples were all forty years old.
"Oh......" The honest representative and the other two members of the same clan glanced at each other, and didn't say what happened to this age.
"What about cultivation?" asked the honest representative again.
The five of them reported their respective cultivation again, and none of them were low, they were all disciples of the Sevenfold and Eightfold Spirit, and they were considered diligent among the monks.
The honest representative nodded again, then took out an ugly stone from the Sumeru bag and handed it over, "Please hold this stone again." ”
"Hey, what is this?" the sect master who was watching the whole time asked curiously.
But the representative of the Jiufang family still didn't answer, only smiled apologetically at the sect master, and motioned for the five disciples to take the stone.
This stone is black and swarthy, with a rough skin but with the kind of delicate pulp that has been played with all year round, and it actually feels good in the hand.
Each of the five people held it, and the amazing thing was that the black and ugly stone, which was not transparent at all, actually emitted a faint fluorescence on everyone's hand, and I don't know where it came from.
After seeing that all the stones of the five people were glowing, the honest representative took them back and stuffed them back into the Sumeru belt, and shook his head in disappointment.
The sect master was confused when he saw him like this, "What's the matter?"
Honestly, he said now, "The stone is the most important requirement of our clan for this mission, and only those who can't let the stone shine can go there." ”
When everyone present heard this???, even the Great Elder, who didn't speak, couldn't help but ask, "Why? What does this mean by shining and not emitting?"
"This ...... I don't know the specifics, it's just that the elders of the clan told me to act like this. ”
This request was unheard of, and the bigwigs of the Xuanqing Sect were going back and forth seven or eight times in their minds for a while, trying to figure out what that stone would be, and why the Jiufang family had such a request.
"In that case, what does the master and nephew mean that they are not qualified and can't go to the Shang family?" The sect master didn't care about the stone at this time, and asked the most anxious question in his heart.
The honest representative nodded, "Yes, you can't go to anything that glows." ”
"In this case, can the other disciples have people who have recommended themselves? If you want to go, come and hold the stone. The sect master hurriedly beckoned the others.
Of course, Hua Lingyuan also saw the scene just now, but she had no impression of this stone at all, and only stood there and pretended to be stupid to play the role of a background role that the female supporting actress was not even a camera.
The sect master waited for a while, and didn't wait for others to come forward, but at this time, it was Cang Lingjun who stood up, only to hear him say: "Master, just now I already knew the content of this mission in the side hall, and now I am also a member of the sect, and I am also under the spirit, why don't you let me try." ”
The Sect Master was startled by his voice, and turned to look at Cang Lingjun, who was talking to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder was also startled by Cang Lingjun's sudden voice, but before the two of them could say anything, Cang Lingjun had already walked in front of the three representatives of the Jiufang Family, and stretched out a good-looking bony hand to spread it out in front of him.
"Excuse me, let me try that stone. ”
This is tantamount to him recommending himself to do the task, of course the three people of the Jiufang family are willing, but they know that Cang Lingjun is just a new disciple who has just started today, and the master and sect master of the other family have not spoken, so they are naturally not easy to express their position.
Hua Lingyuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows beside her, and she knew in her heart that Cang Lingjun was really willing to do the task of Laoshizi, but after getting started, she wanted to leave a positive impression on the sect master and the elders, and strive for their liking.
And he seemed to ask just now, but he didn't wait for the elders to speak, but he quickly stepped forward to ask for something, and his hand was stretched out, how could the sect master still stop it, of course, he only had to let him try it.
This showed the unruly and independent side of his bones to the fullest, and also made Hua Lingyuan see for the first time what kind of person Cang Lingjun was.
Sure enough, the Sect Master and the Great Elder looked at his outstretched hand, and just now they wanted to say something unwanted to him to him and swallowed it back in their throats.
"It's okay, then please ask the master and nephew to take out the stone again and let our disciple try it." The sect master had to say this to others.
As soon as the honest representative saw that the elder had spoken, he took out the stone again.
Hua Lingyuan found out that when he was holding the stone, it turned out that the skin of his hand did not touch the stone at all, but a faint aura surfaced to isolate the touch, so the stone was in his hand, and it was impossible to show whether he would shine when he held it.
Cang Lingjun picked up the stone, held it in his hand, and looked at it with great interest, looking at Yazi who seemed to be very interested in this stone.
But after a few breaths, the stone didn't seem to have the slightest intention of lighting up the fluorescence, lying quietly in Cang Lingjun's hand, still black and ugly.
"Hey, this junior brother is qualified. The honest representative said the test results of Cang Lingjun, and after speaking, he took the stone back from his hand, and put it back in the Sumeru bag without any trouble.
Cang Lingjun didn't stop the actions of the honest representative, and when he heard this, he also hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Then I can go to the forbidden land of the upper family to complete this task for the sect?" That's really good, it's just that as soon as I enter the door, I have to leave the master and everyone in the same door, and I feel a little reluctant in my heart, I just made a few friends today. ”
Hua Lingyuan almost didn't applaud this person. Since she knew the bottom of Cang Lingjun, she has seen this son more and more clearly, and naturally she can subconsciously understand the purpose of what he said.
Didn't what he said just now mean that I don't want to go even if I am qualified, but it is not easy to say clearly, so he gave a hint to the sect master and the great elder, handed a step, and the two old men who have lived for so many years are fine, but if there is a little fancy for him, of course they will follow his words to stop him from going.
As for him, he personally checked what that strange stone was, and showed that he was afraid that the sect would not be able to hand over the righteousness of the sect, and by the way, he also silently told all the smart and foundation-building brothers and sisters standing here that you are not as good as me, a new disciple, who wants to dedicate himself to the sect, and then because of this heart, he once again brushed a wave of goodwill in the eyes of the sect master and the elders.
The whole process is smooth and natural, so that others can't say anything even if they see his thoughts, so they can only throw a wave of 666.
