Chapter 4: Outer Disciples
Mei Lingyun grabbed Lu Yao and Lu Yuan's sister and brother and flew out of the flying boat. fell to the ground and played a magic decision, and a jade plate that Mei Lingyun took out from the storage ring flashed, and the three of them entered the mountain gate.
After entering the mountain gate, Lu Yao saw more clearly.
The mountain gate of this jade archway is more brilliant and magnificent, and the carving on it Lu Yao thought it was a landscape pattern, but when he looked at it so closely, he found that it was some runes with mysterious lines. These runes were connected together to form a rune array, emitting a burst of cyan light, which was linked to the entire Shangqing Sect's large array of light.
Mei Lingyun found that Lu Yao was observing the jade archway, so he said: "This is the green jade archway of our Shangqing faction's treasure of the town faction. This green jade archway is a high-grade holy weapon, and its power is huge. In history, there have been several times when our Shangqing faction faced crises, and it was this green jade archway that exerted its power and kept our Shangqing faction. In addition to this green jade archway, in the very center of our Shangqing faction, there is also a treasure of the town faction, and it is also a high-grade holy weapon, these two treasures, protect the entire Shangqing faction. ”
"The green light you see now is the great array of light of the Shangqing faction, and with this light, we can be safe and worry-free. I have a disciple's token in my hand, so naturally I can go in, but you can't do it without a token. I'm going to register you again. ”
After speaking, Mei Lingyun took Lu Yao's sister and brother and walked to a gazebo next to him. There were a lot of people there who were busy, and the clothes they wore were uniform.
Mei Lingyun said: "These are all outer disciples, led by an inner disciple, who manages the entry and exit of the gate. ”
At this time, Lu Yao found that the light flickered from time to time at the entire gate, and it was constantly people coming in and out. Most are holding tokens in their hands. That is the disciple of the Shangqing faction, they don't need to report, they directly enter the big array with the token, and there are a lot of people who come and go. But think about it, there are 120,000 people in this Shangqing faction, and naturally there are countless people coming and going every day.
There are also some people, who may not be disciples of the Shangqing faction, and these people have to register next to them, so the four pavilions next to the gate are full of people outside.
Mei Lingyun took Lu Yao's sister and brother to walk over. Lu Yao found that Mei Lingyun had regained the cold state he had when he first met him before. I can't imagine that I was still talking and laughing with my sister and brother before.
Mei Lingyun walked to the pavilion, and a person who looked like a leader inside, when he saw Mei Lingyun at a glance, he immediately smiled and left everyone behind, and came out to say hello: "Is it Senior Brother Mei?" I heard that Senior Brother Mei went out on a mission, why did he go for so long. Who are these two? ”
Lu Yao was a little strange, it seemed that Mei Lingyun's status in the Shangqing faction was still very high. actually asked the steward of the inner disciple to run out and ask in person. It seems that there is no need to queue up in his group. Is this a privilege?
Mei Lingyun said coldly, "These two are new disciples. The specific situation, it is inconvenient to say, you go to inform the master, just say that the person I mentioned earlier has been brought. ”
The inner disciple was shocked, what is the origin of this, the two new disciples actually want to alarm the master. However, he didn't dare to question, because this Mei Lingyun was a senior disciple among the inner disciples, and his status was much higher than his own.
There are also more than 5,000 high-level disciples among the inner disciples, but among these more than 5,000 people, many of them are children of families who have been piled up with pills, and there are not many who have the hope of becoming secret disciples. This Mei Lingyun is Jin Linggen's sword cultivator, his strength is strong, and he is recognized by the sect as the person who is most likely to become a secret disciple, and he is very valued by the head of the sect and the elders. I can't afford to offend this.
He said that he would report to the master, and he would be able to obey his orders obediently.
Therefore, this disciple did not hesitate, hurriedly ran back to the pavilion, activated a device, and said a word, and after a while, the disciple received a reply, and his face was still a little surprised, however, he did not dare to delay, trotted to Mei Lingyun and said: "Senior Brother Mei, the head of the sect, please take the two new junior brothers and sisters to go directly to the main hall of the head of the sect." This is a temporary token for younger brothers and sisters. ”
After speaking, the disciple handed over two tokens, which were wooden with complicated patterns on them, Lu Yao took them, one for himself and one for his younger brother.
Mei Lingyun didn't even say a word of thanks, and walked directly to the door with Lu Yao's sister and brother.
Lu Yao was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said to the disciple, "Thank you, senior brother." ”
The disciple smiled.
Lu Yao took the token, just a flash, without feeling it at all, and entered the back of the archway.
Standing behind the torii, I saw that there was a lot of space inside, which was even bigger than what I saw outside.
Everywhere are green mountains and green waters, auspicious birds and wild cranes, as well as all kinds of flying magic weapons that fly by from time to time. It's really a fairy scene. Lu Yuan, who was on the side, was already dancing happily.
Mei Lingyun looked at Lu Yuan's appearance, very proud, and said, "Isn't our Shangqing faction very good." Let me tell you, this Shangqing sect is composed of a huge circle of mountains. There are 360,000 mountains in the outer circle. The aura is much stronger than that of the mortal world. It's even better than the average Xiuzhen city. This is for 100,000 outer disciples. The outer disciples are all disciples in the Qi cultivation period, and they don't know how to use flying magic weapons, so they are relatively quiet, and they all rely on walking between them. Or use the teleportation formation inside the door. ”
"Further inside, there is a circle of 100,000 mountains. This is where the low-level disciples of the inner disciples live. The low-level disciples of the inner gate are all disciples of the foundation building period, and they can use flying magic weapons. It is also possible to live with three minions. The aura there is twice as high as the 360,000 mountains where the outer disciples live, and the cultivation there is much faster. Therefore, there are many outer disciples who are willing to serve the inner disciples. ”
"Further inside, there is a circle of 50,000 mountains, those are the places where the high-level disciples of our inner disciples live, and the aura is twice as large as the 100,000 mountains where the low-level disciples live. Therefore, there are more outer disciples who want to serve us high-level disciples. Each of us can take five servants. It's just that I didn't bring it, and I used all the puppets. You two can go whenever you want to stay in the future. ”
"Well, you can go to retreat, you don't have to do hard labor. I have a very spacious place there, where I have three mountain peaks, and there is also a spiritual field, a spiritual medicine garden. ”
Lu Yao grinned and said, "Then thank you in advance, I will definitely go." ”
Mei Lingyun also smiled.
He continued, "Further inside is the 100,000 Great Mountain, which is the core area where twenty-one secret disciples, twelve elders, the head of the sect, and three great elders live. The aura inside is three times greater than where I live. That's the best place to cultivate. ”
Seeing Mei Lingyun's fascinated look, Lu Yao lowered his head and calculated, "The aura in the core area is three times more than the aura in the place where you live, isn't that more than that of the outer disciples?" Wouldn't that be more willing to serve as servants for the elders and secret disciples? ”
Mei Lingyun nodded and said, "Yes." However, being a servant is not the best. The best thing is to be an elder or a secret disciple as an apprentice. Then you can live directly inside. Actually, I often live in it. Because I am the apprentice of Gu Fanghe, one of the Twelve Elders, the Purple Sword True Person. The master was the only human sword cultivator among the twelve elders. That's why I often practice in the Master's Cave. There are very few people living in my cave. ”
It turns out that Mei Lingyun's backstage is so tough, no wonder she is so dragged. But also, after all, Mei Lingyun is the same once-in-a-century single spirit root as himself, or the golden spirit root with the strongest combat ability. Naturally, they will be cultivated by the sect.
Mei Lingyun said: "Okay, in the future, you can slowly understand the things about the sect, and now we have to go to see the head of the sect first." Don't think that every disciple enters the door and sees the master. Most of the outer disciples never see the head of the sect in their lifetime. The two of you think that the spiritual root is special, so I gave the head of the sect a message before, and the head specially ordered me not to alarm anyone, and quietly bring the two of you to the sect, and not to enter the outer gate directly, but to give him a letter as soon as you enter the sect, and go directly to his head hall. He has his own arrangements. ”
Lu Yao asked, "Was that senior brother like this back then?" ”
Mei Lingyun said: "Although I am a rare golden spirit root and am valued by the sect, there is nothing like this,"
"Back then, when I entered the sect, I honestly started from an outer disciple. However, the sect still has to take care of more than the average disciple. Later, my cultivation progressed very quickly, I succeeded in building the foundation, and became a low-level disciple among the inner disciples, so I was accepted as an apprentice by the master and entered the master's cave to practice. ”
"In addition to going out on a mission, most of the year is in the master's cave. Very little time in their own caves. With the aura of the core area and the careful teaching of the master, I was able to become a senior disciple so quickly. ”
"I actually get more attention than the average person with a single spiritual root, because every year there are people with a single spiritual root. Among them, there are the most people with wood spirit roots and earth spirit roots. I have relatively few golden spirit roots like this. However, I don't have such treatment, as soon as I enter the door, I will be met by the master. This time it is so important because of Yuan'er's Heavenly Spirit Root. That's the object of contention among the various sects. ”
"Previously, the reason why I wanted to accompany you over instead of sending an ordinary disciple to answer was because I was afraid that other sects would know the news and snatch Yuan'er halfway. A monk with a Heavenly Spirit Root, if he can grow up smoothly, he can basically reach the incarnation stage in the future, and even become a great monk in the Tribulation Period. Therefore, the sect will attach great importance to it. ”
Now Lu Yao understood, it turned out that it was his younger brother Lu Yuan who was really rare, and he was just better than ordinary people. However, I am happy that my younger brother can have a good future.
Mei Lingyun said, "Okay, you guys are ready, I'm going to fly with your imperial sword." ”
After speaking, Mei Lingyun took out a golden flying sword, and immediately took Lu Yao and Lu Yuan, like a ray of light, across the sky, and flew towards the core area of the sect.
