Taiqing Peak, on the Golden Dome Square. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After stopping for a moment among the remaining guests, Taiyi Zhenren turned around and slowly climbed onto the wooden platform, slowly walked to the center of the wooden platform, and looked around the stage.

He looked at the situation in front of him where there were many talents, and just now he heard with his own ears that those righteous path friends praised and praised the disciples of his sect, Taiyi Zhenren was naturally relieved in his heart, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, brushed his gray long beard, he believed more and more that the thousand-year-old foundation of Wufeng Mountain would be more solid, and in the world of cultivating truth, he would continue to lead the various sects of the righteous path, and Taiyi Zhenren firmly believed in this!

At this time, the red sun in the east broke through the barrier of layers of clouds and mist, jumped out of the sea of clouds at once, radiating thousands of rays of light, just now there was some gray sky suddenly clear, this strong and dazzling sun light will disperse all the fog in the morning, this is located in the clouds of Taiqing Peak Jinding Square, immediately covered with ten thousand golden light, making the original magnificent Wufeng Mountain Taiqing Peak, more magnificent!

As far as the eye can see, the sun is shining on the Jinding Square, the overpass in the distance spans between the two peaks, the blue waves ripple under the overpass, the waves are sparkling, and the Taiqing Hall on the other peak of the bridge is golden and brilliant!

Against such a spectacular backdrop, Taiyi Zhenren looked around with great satisfaction and said aloud to the thousands of disciples on the Golden Roof, "Everyone is here!" ”

All the disciples of Wufeng Mountain saluted together and said, "I've seen the real person in charge!" ”

Taiyi Zhenren nodded slightly, and said slowly in a low voice: "Okay, disciples, today is the day of our Wufeng Mountain's centennial sword meeting, as we all know, the Wufeng Sword Club is the biggest event in this sect, and it is also a great opportunity for this sect to select outstanding young disciples, this opportunity is fair and just for all disciples, I hope that all disciples can go through many tests, stand out in the following sword club competition, and finally shoulder the heavy responsibility given to you by this sect, and use your respective practices to be the right path for the world, For the common people, do your part! ”

Taiyi Zhenren's words were inspiring, and the disciples of Wufeng Mountain were excited, and everyone encouraged each other below, and they were all proud of being a member of Wufeng Mountain.

Taiyi Zhenren finally said in a high tone: "I hope you will live up to your expectations, work together to support the right path, eliminate demons and subdue demons, and in the future, the reputation and foundation of our Wufeng Mountain for thousands of years will depend on your generation of young disciples!" ”

After listening to the impassioned words of the real person in charge, all the disciples in the audience were more geared up and eager to try, hoping that they could achieve good results in this sword meeting!

Taiyi Zhenren watched the performance of all the disciples on the stage with great satisfaction, and said, "Okay, now I will ask the deacon elders to announce the list of disciples shortlisted for this sword meeting!" With that, he slowly walked to the side of the wooden platform.

The disciples who were in a high atmosphere just now were all holding their breath at this moment, although everyone had already known which disciples of each peak were qualified to participate in this sword meeting, but today in front of everyone's eyes, in the attention of the people in the righteous path of the world, it was a supreme honor to be selected for this list, it seemed to be announcing to the people in the world of cultivation that he was qualified to enter the list of masters of the world's number one cultivation sect!

At this time, the silent disciples under the wooden platform all looked at the steps behind the wooden platform, only to see an elder wearing a blue sermon robe holding a silk book in his hand, was walking up to the stage, many disciples in the audience knew him, this elder is an important member of the many elders who manage the internal affairs of Wufeng Mountain, his legal name is Xuan Yan, and his generation is still above the peak master of the five peaks in the world. All of them are a rare mentor and friend in the minds of many disciples!

At this moment, this Xuanyan Dao Master came to the front of the wooden platform, glanced at the disciples in the audience, coughed, cleared his throat, and then said solemnly: "Next, I will announce the list of sword clubs, please read the name to come to the stage, okay, first, Taiqing Feng Ding Qingyi!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a disciple walked out of Changmen Taiqingfeng, and walked under the wooden platform, he was the eldest disciple Ding Qingyi under the head of the house!

"Second place, Sun Xu of Changtian Peak!"

Daoist Sun Xu also stood up and stepped forward.

"Third ......"

In this way, Daoist Xuanyan read the names on the list one by one, and every time he thought of a disciple, someone walked out of the corridor and came to the wooden platform.

When she read 'the one hundred and sixth, Chi Yue Feng Su Qiyu', Su Qiyu was very happy, as the fourth place of Chi Yue Peak and the last disciple of Chi Yue Peak to be shortlisted, she was naturally happy, she quickly walked out of the ranks of disciples, but she did not forget to say something in the ear of Master Xuanye Dao Chang, only to see Xuan Ye Dao Chang smile and nod at her, she turned around lightly, came to the wooden platform, and Yang Yue, who was already standing there, winked mischievously, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at the stage together.

At this time, Daoist Xuanyan had already closed the silk book in his hand, looked at the one hundred and six Wufeng disciples under the wooden platform in front of him, and then solemnly announced: "The list of the Wufeng Mountain Centennial Sword Club has been read out this time, here, I want to inform you of a news, the disciples on the shortlist of this Sword Club are the most in the past thousand years, it can be seen that the prosperity of the sect far exceeds the previous dynasties, okay, finally I will explain to you the situation of the shortlisted disciples of the various peaks of the sect here, A total of thirty-seven disciples were selected from Changmen Taiqing Peak, twenty-eight disciples from Changtian Peak, nineteen disciples from Ziyun Peak, eighteen disciples from Luoxia Peak, and finally, Chi Yue Peak had -"

I don't know why, Daoist Xuan Yan seemed to pause intentionally or unintentionally when he said this, as if it was very difficult for him to read the following numbers, however, the more he slurred like this, the more concerned the disciples became, and everyone was silent for a while, pricking up their ears to hear him say the last number.

Daoist Xuan Yan glanced at the disciples in the audience, and continued in a deep but still clear voice: "Chi Yuefeng...... Four disciples were selected! ”

Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke out among the disciples in the audience, and the audience was in an uproar, and then everyone was talking about it below, some disciples were pointing and pointing, and some disciples were covering their mouths and snickering, as if they were all laughing at Chi Yuefeng Why are there only so many disciples shortlisted?

At this time, the Xuanye Dao Chief, who was the peak master of Chiyue Peak, was naturally a little embarrassed, and a trace of unhappiness immediately flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal, still standing motionless under the corridor, and did not react too abnormally, although he also clearly heard the Xuanyi Dao Chief, the peak master of Luoxia Peak not far away, snorted disdainfully in his nose, but he still pretended not to hear it at all, and his eyes were still looking straight ahead.

In the face of these disciples in the audience, Daoist Xuanyan didn't know what to do for a while, and was frowning and hesitating there, at this time, the head Taiyi Zhenren slowly walked to the front of the wooden platform.

At this time, the Wufeng disciples, who were still arguing just now, immediately quieted down, stopped their private discussions, and waited together for the real person in charge to have something to say.

Taiyi Zhenren was a little disappointed with the reaction of the disciples in the audience just now, although he didn't agree with some of the practices of the peak master Xuanye of Chi Yue Peak, but as the head of the family, he has always treated the disciples of all the peaks under his door equally, in his opinion, everyone belongs to the five peaks and one line, hand and foot are connected, they should promote each other, support each other, and there can be no comparison and vanity.

At the moment, there is no better way for Taiyi Zhenren to deal with the declining situation of Chi Yuefeng, and he seems to be a little helpless, he sighed slightly.

Taiyi Zhenren turned his gaze back again, and glanced at the more than 100 disciples standing in the audience, all of them were heroic and magnificent, these people are the elites of the younger generation of the sect, and they will also be the leaders of the righteous path in the world in the future.

He slowly spoke: "You are all flukes among the disciples of this sect, this time you can be shortlisted for the Sword Society, it means that your cultivation has a good foundation, but-", Speaking of this, Taiyi Zhenren seemed to pause deliberately, looked around at the disciples, and said in a heavier tone, "Participating in this Wufeng Sword Meeting means that you have to accept a heavier test, and what awaits you will be a more rigorous selection and competition, in the process, there will be people who fail to quit, and there will also be people who are seriously injured and frustrated, But no matter what the outcome is, it will be a rare opportunity for each of you to practice, and I hope you will all do it for yourself! ”

The more than 100 disciples who were shortlisted listened to the teachings of the real person in charge, and naturally they were deeply touched, and they said together: "Thank you for the reminder, we will definitely live up to expectations!" ”

At this time, the sun had almost risen in the air, and the sunlight was even more dazzling, and the strong light shone on the bodies of the more than 100 disciples in front of the wooden platform, as if dyeing them with a layer of golden luster, making them look even more different!

No one could have predicted what an unexpected competition awaited them, and many of them should be in a state of uneasiness right now!

Among them, the four disciples shortlisted by Chi Yuefeng are in very different moods, although the senior brother Zheng Shouyi has a serious expression and stands there motionless, but the smile at the corner of his mouth still shows the joy in his heart, indicating that he is hiding it deeply, the third senior brother Qi Tai can hardly hide his excited expression, looking left and right, looking high-spirited, and the little junior sister Su Qiyu is full of bright smiles, because she is still young and has little experience, it is completely innocent and innocent by nature. The second senior brother Li Yu frowned slightly, as if he had something else on his mind, and from time to time he turned his head to look at Master Xuanye Daochang, as if he was a little absent-minded.

※※※

On the night of this day, the sky above Taiqing Peak was dotted with stars, and a few thin clouds shuttled between the stars by themselves.

The cultivation place of Taiqing Peak's disciples, which used to be quiet, is now very lively, because so many disciples of the sect have to gather at once, and the living conditions that used to be relatively spacious are now overcrowded, because over the years, the expansion of the number of disciples recruited by the peaks of Wufeng Mountain has far exceeded the imagination of the ancestors of the past dynasties.

Originally, there were only three or four disciples sleeping in the room, but now they have to squeeze down eight or ten disciples, so many people have slept in the Chase bunk, and the bed that could have allowed one person to sleep horizontally is now sleeping three disciples vertically.

Moreover, because the bed is too narrow, often you can take care of your head but not your feet, and you can only let one of them be exposed, which is really miserable for the disciples of Wufeng, some disciples have a large number of rooms, and even several people are asleep on the ground, because of the quarrels that occur from time to time over the turf, many people feel that they are going to collapse, and they really can't wait to sleep on the beams of the house!

In comparison, the accommodation situation of the disciples of Chi Yue Peak is much better, although the rooms they are assigned are not much, but when they all live down, they are also better than the disciples of other peaks, and the advantage of a small number of disciples here is a big advantage!

At this moment, the disciples of Chi Yuefeng, who had been tired for a day, had already rested peacefully, and as soon as a few disciples fell, they were already snoring, but the second senior brother Li Yu was completely sleepy, he sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while, then simply stood up, walked out of the room, and stood in the corridor for a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, he walked to the door of Master Xuanye's room, and saw the candlelight shining inside, knowing that the master was not sleeping, he wanted to knock on the door, but just raised his hand, but heard the master's voice from inside: "Is it Li Yu?" Come on in! ”

Li Yu answered, then pushed the door straight and walked in, and saw Master Xuanye Daoist sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, his hands flat on his knees, closing his eyes to recuperate, a candle was lit on the table, and the faint candlelight was swaying in the room with the direction of the wind.

"What's the matter with you at such a late hour?" Genba Dao Chang opened his eyes slightly, looking a little tired.

Li Yu bowed and saluted: "Master, the disciple doesn't know whether to say or not to say something. ”

Daoist Xuanye glanced at him and said, "If you have anything, it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Master, before we came to Taiqing Peak this time, I accidentally found Senior Brother Lin Xiaoyi practicing Taoism there alone on the back mountain of our Chiyue Peak, judging from his state of luck and practice, it seems that he is about to break through the realm of the fourth layer of imperial objects, it is not easy for him to reach this realm in just a few years, it is really a pity that Senior Brother Lin does not participate in this sword meeting." ”

Daoist Xuanye put his hands under his chest, exhaled a breath, and said slowly, "Do you think Master is also so nonsense?" Can't even see that? ”

Xuanye Daoist asked this rhetorically, which made Li Yu feel a little surprised, he raised his head, looked at the familiar face of the master, and said with some surprise: "Since this is the case, then why didn't the master let him participate in this sword meeting?" ”

Daoist Xuanye turned his head and looked at Li Yu, this apprentice was raised by him, what was the apprentice thinking in his heart, how could he not know as a master?

Xuanye Dao Chang sighed in a low voice and said, "Actually, yesterday when we first came to Taiqing Peak, I also talked to the senior brother in charge about this matter, but now that Lin Xiaoyi has not broken through the fourth layer of the Hongyuan realm 'Imperial Object' after all, and he can't drive the magic weapon, according to the regulations of the Five Peaks Sect, he is indeed not allowed to participate in the Sword Meeting!" ”

Speaking of this, Daoist Xuanye paused, with a thoughtful look on his face, and after a while, he said lightly: "Of course, it is not impossible to break through this regulation, not to mention that with Lin Xiaoyi's qualifications, he only needs a little pull to help him reach the realm of 'imperial objects', originally I also wanted him to participate, but after thinking about it, forget it, it is also considered not to let him participate in this sword meeting now, maybe he will understand this piece of hard work of the master in the future!" ”

Li Yu looked at this master with some understanding and some puzzlement, since the master knew everything, why did he do that?

He looked at the master's face that flickered in the candlelight, he sighed softly, lowered his head, and said: "It's just a pity that a disciple with qualifications like Senior Brother Lin missed this sword meeting, I don't know if he still has a chance to get ahead, in fact, among our disciples, in terms of cultivation qualifications, I'm afraid no one can match him, I'm afraid ......," Li Yu was a little hesitant, glanced at the master, and then said: "I'm afraid that he will resent you Master in the future!" ”

Daoist Xuanye raised his head with a smile, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and said, "If he wants to blame him as a teacher, let him blame it, everything is according to the will of heaven!" ”

Li Yu saw that the master had made up his mind and knew that he could not force it, so he stopped persuading him, and changed his words: "It's not too early, please rest early, the disciple will retire first." ”

Xuanye Daoist nodded, Li Yu took a few steps back, turned around, and was about to open the door, but the master's voice came from behind him: "Li Yu, did you see Yu'er just now?" ”

Li Yu turned around and said, "Senior Sister Su Qiyu lives in the residence of the female disciple opposite, and when I finished dinner just now, I saw her go in the direction of the Golden Dome of Taiqing Peak, as if she hasn't come back yet." ”

Xuanye said, "This little girl, why is it more and more worry-free," he shook his head, looking helpless, and then said to Li Yu: "Okay, you go down first." ”

Li Yu replied before retreating.

The room was silent again, and Daoist Xuanye was still sitting there, his eyes closed, and his expression was a little gloomy.

He remembered Lin Xiaoyi, who was still left by him in Chiyue Peak, and he didn't know why he was so ruthless to that apprentice, obviously he stopped him from the Hundred Year Sword Society in Wufeng Mountain, but yesterday, it was for him, and he quarreled with his fellow senior brother in the Taiqing Palace, and even he didn't understand why he did it.

It seems that he still can't bear this disciple after all, but since things have come to this point, he can only resign himself to fate.
