Chapter 168: Departure (1)
Five years later, a luxurious wooden platform was built on the largest square of Yuhua Peak, and the two sides of the platform were filled with all kinds of purple and red flowers.
There were many people gathered under the high platform, all the core disciples and nearly a thousand high-level disciples all gathered in this square. They lined up in neat lines and stood in different positions.
Around this square, flags are waving, gongs and drums are noisy. All the stewards and deacons who were busy in the vast area of Yuhua Peak on weekdays all ran over, they were dressed in brand new clothes, one by one, and they were full of energy, planting countless colorful flags around this square. At the same time, they also brought a variety of musical instruments, and the drums that were more than one person tall had more than 20 sides, playing high-pitched and cheerful music together.
At the core of this square, there were more than 200 disciples, and these people were surrounded by other disciples like stars holding the moon.
Each of these disciples was dressed in brand new clothes, and one by one they were fully armed and ready to go out on the battle.
These disciples are the disciples who were carefully selected by Zizhumen to go tens of thousands of miles away to participate in the opening of the Feather Terrace and bravely enter the Feather Terrace.
Lin Jun happened to be in this team, although his cultivation level was pitiful, but he was the deputy head of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and his status was the highest among these disciples, so he stood at the front of this team.
Lin Jun looked around, and saw that among the core disciples and high-level disciples standing around, nearly eighty percent were male disciples, and the remaining twenty percent were female disciples. This is not the same as when he was a beginner disciple of the inner gate, at that time, the number of male disciples and female disciples was about the same, male disciples were slightly more, accounting for about sixty percent, and female disciples accounted for about forty percent, it seems that with the improvement of cultivation practice, the difficulty of cultivation is getting bigger and bigger, and the cultivation journey will become an extremely difficult thing, and the vast majority of female disciples may not be able to bear the pain of cultivation, so when it comes to the level of core disciples and high-level disciples, the number of female disciples has become much less. But what Lin Jun didn't understand was that among the nearly 200 Rao teams that went out to Yuhuatai, there was not even a single female disciple
Lin Jun quietly asked a core disciple named Li Zhongyan beside him. This core disciple is one of the more favored disciples around Xiang Ya, he did not choose a mountain peak to stay and cultivate alone like other disciples, he lived with Xiang Ya, in addition to taking care of the diet and daily life of the Great Elder like a servant, he practiced exercises in this place, he could be a personal disciple of Xiang Ya, Xiang Ya also trusted him very much, and there were many things left to him to do. After Lin Jun just came here, many core disciples laughed at Lin Jun for being a waste, and although Li Zhongyan did not follow everyone to coax him at that time, he was also disdainful of Lin Jun's arrival. Later, he saw that his master was very polite to Lin Jun, and although Lin Jun's cultivation was low, he was the deputy head appointed by Elder Taishang himself, Li Zhongyan's attitude towards Lin Jun had changed greatly, and now, although Li Zhongyan was a monk who gathered the true realm, he was very polite to Lin Jun, and in front of Lin Jun, just like in front of his master, he was respectful.
Lin Jun transmitted to him through his divine sense: "Zhong Yan, why don't we have a female disciple in this team?"
Li Zhongyan replied: " Lin is in charge, don't let the female disciples go to the Feather Terrace, this is the rule of our Zizhu Gate for many years, because the place of the Feather Terrace is full of dangers, not only will we encounter all kinds of unexpected dangers, but also every time that place is opened, it is not only the various sects of our Great Xia Kingdom that enter it, but all kinds of sects in many countries under the general public, what kind of people can enter it, once they get to that, it is a place outside the law, in that place completely by strength, once any treasure is found, there is a possibility of robbery, once there is a fight, it will inevitably cause casualties。 If you take a female disciple to go, once you are injured or captured, you will inevitably be humiliated by that gangster, and if a female disciple of a sect is abused by others, it is a very shameful thing, and once it spreads, it will have a great impact on the reputation of this sect. Therefore, when we Zizhu Sect sent people to Yuhuatai, we didn't bring female disciples. ”
Lin Jun then asked, "Since that place is dangerous, why don't you bring more people there?"
Li Zhongyan said: " Listen to many years ago, after the monks of various countries opened the space-time channel at the southern end of the feather platform, there was no limit to the number of people at that time, and when they heard the most, there were hundreds of thousands of monks who hugged it together, and there were too many people who went in that time, which angered the gods hidden there, and the moment that should have been stable in the feather platform suddenly became unstable, and some monks saw that it was not good, and retreated in advance, but just after withdrawing, the large array of the feather platform was closed in advance, and tens of thousands of people were completely trapped inside, and their whereabouts are still unknown。 So from there, more than a dozen countries scattered around the Feather Terrace discussed and set the maximum number of people from each country at 3,000. Moreover, there is a treaty signed between various countries, that is, after all monks enter the feather platform, they are not allowed to kill each other and compete with each other. However, once they entered that place, in the face of great benefits, all the monks would forget about this paper treaty, although the countries repeatedly emphasized that the disciples should be restrained when entering it, and they should not compete with each other, but every time the feather platform was opened, there were still not a few fights and killings in it. Every time the Feather Terrace is opened, our Zizhu Gate, as a great sect recognized by the imperial court, will naturally be invited to participate, but how many people we can send, we don't count, it is the Great Xia Imperial Court that allocates a quota to us, and this time it allocates two hundred rao places to us, so our team only has two hundred people. This time, though, our team is a little weaker. I heard it several times before, once the Feather Terrace was opened, either Elder Taishang would personally lead someone, or he would also send three or four Great Elders to lead the team. However, this time, only my master led the team alone, and only thirty core disciples were sent, twenty of these thirty core disciples were my master's personal disciples, and the remaining ten were the personal disciples of other great elders. In addition, they are all high-level disciples, and the last time I heard that Elder Taishang led the team forward, not only several great elders went, but all the core disciples also went, and the lineup that time was really strong. But even so, Elder Taishang still came back injured, this time, the strength sent by our sect has been greatly reduced, I think it should have something to do with Elder Taishang being injured. ”
At this time, on the high platform in front of them, several Great Elders of the Zizhu Sect and some leaders gathered here. After a big battle that almost broke out a few days ago, the relationship between the several Great Elders was extremely bad.
Xia Zhongyou, Ji Chongtao and Ouyang Chifeng stood together, a few steps away from them, Xie Yukun and Xiang Ya stood together. They all have a straight face to each other, with a cold face, don't say anything, even if they say hello to each other, they don't have Sakura
