Chapter 16, Section 8 Cross-examination
Shang's second son is still young, and he only sleeps in the nurse's arms all day long, but he is Shang's eldest son, who is three years old, and he knows what the difference is after the last incident. Obviously, this time Jia Jiu did not say goodbye to his family as cautiously as last time, the child still hugged Jia Jiu's legs and cried so pitifully.
No matter how his parents persuaded him, this child just refused to let go of Jia Jiu.
As a last resort, Jia Jiu had to order the child's sleeping hole to get out.
When Jia Jiu arrived at the foot of Yuqing Mountain, among the eight silver-clothed Daozi candidates, Yan Wei, who had the lowest qualifications and cultivation, was already waiting at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Jia Jiu coming, after the two said hello, they walked towards the mountain one after the other.
Today's Yuqing Mountain is both lively and deserted. said that it was lively, it was because the Taoists who rarely appeared on Yuqing Mountain in the past have appeared one after another, and many people have only seen one or two sides of Jia Jiu, and there are more, Jia Jiu doesn't recognize them at all. It's natural to say it's deserted. Because today's Yuqingshan has rejected all pilgrims, whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, today, Yuqingshan will not accept anything. The people who appeared on Yuqing Mountain today were all from the Daomen.
When Jia Jiu passed by, the Taoists who were talking in twos and threes all turned their heads and looked at them carefully.
Jia Jiu clearly heard them say, "This is Tongyunliu? It looks fairly ordinary. And too young. ”
"What about being young? Attainment comes first. If he gets the token of the silver-clothed Daozi, then he is qualified to become the silver-clothed Taoist. ”
"But isn't he a candidate for the Golden Clothed Daozi?"
"There's no way, who let Daozun not be there. Dao Kui is also good. Whether it is a national teacher, there is only a silver-clothed Taoist on this Yuqing Mountain, and he was raised by a silver-clothed Taozi. It is also normal to approach Yinyi Daozi. ”
"However, now there is no shortage of silver-clothed Daozi in Daomen, but what is lacking is gold-clothed Daozi. If he entered the silver-clothed Daozi lineage, then how should the manpower and material resources of the gold-clothed Daozi lineage that he borrowed and misappropriated before? That's not a small amount. The Taishang Mansion will not allow the Jinyi Daozi to merge with the Yinyi Daozi. In my opinion, maybe the Taishang Mansion will let him take another assessment. ”
"How is that possible! In the past thousands of years, how many people have been on the highest level in the first assessment? Again, how many more? A slap counts clearly. Since he is related to the silver-clothed Daozi. has such an opportunity and good fortune, even if there are a lot of people in the silver-clothed Daozi lineage, there is still a shortage of such talents. ”
It will appear on Yuqing Mountain today. Most of them are high-level Daomen. Even if Dao Kui doesn't say it, there are people who have a way to get the real news.
However, just as these people said, if Jia Jiu was a candidate for the silver-clothed Daozi before. So. With that token, he could directly become the ninth silver-clothed Taoist.
But he is a candidate for the golden cloth.
And he is the only candidate for the golden cloth.
Almost everyone is waiting, waiting for the arrangement of the door, and also waiting for the final result.
Don't look at the appearance of the people in the Daomen who don't eat the fireworks in the world when they are in front of people, but it is enough to really gossip.
What's more, the Jinyi Daozi assessment got the highest-level token of the Yinyi Daozi, which is the first time in thousands of years.
Don't look at the Taomen, there are a lot of people. But there are a number of Taoists. Although there are five-color Taozi in addition to the gold-clothed Daozi and the silver-clothed Daozi, there is also a Taozi and a Daozi. There is also a big difference. The five-color Daozi has the strictest requirements, a radish and a pit, no more, no less, exactly five people. The five-color Daozi of this generation has not abdicated, and the candidates below cannot take the position. And among the five color Daozi, one of them abdicated, and the other four must abdicate.
There is no such rule for the gold-clothed Taoist and the silver-clothed daozi. On the contrary, there is no strict limit on the number of people in Jinyi Daozi and Yinyi Daozi, and many years ago, there was only one requirement for Jinyi Daozi and Yinyi Daozi, that is, they must be one-on-one. That is to say, a golden-clothed Taoist must have a silver-clothed initiate, and similarly, a silver-clothed Taoist must have a golden-clothed initiate.
This was indeed the case on Yuqing Mountain two hundred years ago. However, in the battle with Broken Island that year, the Golden Cloth Daozi, as the main force, was exhausted, and even the only remaining Golden Cloth Daozi was also missing for some reasons.
Thinking that the gold-clothed Daozi and silver-clothed Daozi who were at their peak back then have become the situation where talents are withering today, those who have experienced that war are embarrassed.
But what can be done? The big battle that year came too suddenly, and the opponent's offensive was so strong that Daomen didn't have time to react at all.
The people in the Daomen have always been free and easy, and they follow their hearts in words and deeds, so most of the people in the Daomen do not like to stay on Sanqing Mountain, on the contrary, most of the people in the Daomen will leave Sanqing Mountain when they have a little success in cultivation and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live. Or to study martial arts, or to study medical skills, or just to help someone who didn't know each other.
Many people in the Dao Sect had already ended the war when they arrived, and some people had already ended the war when they got the news.
Speaking of the initiates of the gold-clothed Daozi and the silver-clothed Daozi, naturally some people thought of that great battle, and then, someone exclaimed: "I seem to have heard that Tongyunliu is a descendant of the Broken Island Royal Family!" ”
Before the man could finish speaking, countless people rushed over and surrounded him.
"What do you say? Tong Yunliu is a descendant of the royal family of Broken Island? So, is he a spy? ”
"Impossible! It's not that Daomen hasn't sent people to Broken Island. Others don't know, we don't know what kind of virtue that broken island is? It was very xenophobic, and those seniors back then, almost just stepped into the land of the broken island, they were endlessly chased and killed, and in the end, it was Daozun who shot regardless of his injuries, so that these seniors were fished back. The women of Broken Island, even if they are sacrificed to the tree alive, will not believe us, let alone leave Broken Island! ”
"That's not what I said. It was the Broken Island envoy who said so. Obviously, this master is a well-informed person, and he immediately said in a loud voice: "I heard, do you remember that Tong Yunliu went to the border in disguise for his father?" It was when An Yuanwei was in the time that Tong Yunliu used martial arts. It is said that it is the martial arts that the royal family of Broken Island does not pass on. ”
"The martial arts that the Broken Island Royal Family doesn't pass on?"
"That's right. You want to be the lowly of the woman on the broken island. I don't even have the qualifications to recognize the words, where is the qualification to learn martial arts? Therefore, Tong Yunliu's family will have the martial arts that are not passed on by the King of Broken Island, which should be the bloodline of the King of Broken Island. ”
"Even so, so what? The woman of the broken island is extremely lowly. If Tong Yunliu goes to the broken island, maybe he will be captured and taken to the Blood Sacrifice King Tree! ”
The man who spoke before nodded again and again, "That's right." After Tong Yunliu planted the branches of the Broken Island King Tree, the Broken Island envoy was very polite to Tong Yunliu. However, Tong Yunliu didn't pay any attention to them at all. ”
"So there's still this? However, since Tong Yunliu may be a bloodline of the Shattered Island King. Even if his brother may be the descendant of the broken island? ”
"According to the news from Honglu Temple, Tong Yunliu is a family, and only one of Tong Yunliu is a descendant of Broken Island. Even the Marquis of Rong Guo has nothing to do with Broken Island. ”
"Wait a minute. That's not right. Remember years ago. Tong Yunliu once presented a martial art to the imperial court, which is said to be a family tradition. If this martial art is the secret of Broken Island, then doesn't it mean that the Jia family has long been related to Broken Island? ”
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent again, and then became extremely noisy.
Countless people gathered together in twos and threes, exchanging all kinds of news.
Jia Jiu heard these words. But he didn't say anything.
Could it be that he said that it was because he had a systematic relationship in him? I'm afraid that this secret will leak out. It was enough for someone else to eat him raw.
Jia Jiu could only remain silent.
Because of this, he felt that the road had become very long.
Finally walked to Qingfeng Stream, only to see that several division commanders were already there, even several Taoist leaders whom Jia Jiu had met in the past and even had unpleasant memories were also there, but the position they were standing in was a bit off, and most of them were close to the corner. And every time Jia Jiu came to the grass pavilion where he received Daokui's teachings, there were two more fresh faces today.
The grass pavilion is not very large, and the six people squeezed in it have long been crowded.
As soon as Yan Wei arrived at the breeze stream, he stopped.
He's just a silver-clothed Daozi candidate. Today's breeze stream is not a place he can set foot in. Therefore, sending Jia Jiu to the female Luo at the gate of Qingfeng Stream, Yan Wei said to Jia Jiu like this: "Tongyunliu, you can go up directly." Next, I can't send you up. ”
Jia Jiu said: "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”
"Senior brother?" Yan Wei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled faintly: "Maybe this is the last time you call me Senior Brother." ”
There was no lack of gloom in the voice.
As the most outstanding disciple of the Yan family's generation, Yan Wei is not lacking in competitiveness. But what if Yan Wei is competitive? There are things that don't change because of his subjectivity.
It's like Yan Wei can only accompany the last seat in the silver-clothed Daozi alternate, just like Jia Jiu got the token of the highest level of the silver-clothed Daozi's assessment.
Jia Jiu nodded with Yan Xun and walked forward again. He heard the people around him pointing at him. But he didn't care. It wasn't until he came to the outside of the grass pavilion and saluted several division commanders in the grass pavilion that he heard a strange old Taoist ask him: "Tongyunliu, it is said that you are the queen of the Broken Island King's vein." How can you explain this? ”
Jia Jiu was silent for a moment and replied, "The disciple has nothing to say. ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Jia Jiu replied: "Background is not something that a disciple can choose, and parents are not something that a disciple can choose. At the beginning, if it weren't for the envoy of Broken Island to enter Beijing, the disciple would not have known that there was such a wonderful story behind his life experience. Similarly, without the guidance of the Dao Kui and the support of the Dao Sect, it would be impossible for the disciples to have the opportunity to practice martial arts, let alone go to the border. ”
"Oh? Is that so? ”
Dao Ling hurriedly explained: "Fu Zun, it's true. The martial arts that Tongyunliu dedicated to the imperial court actually evolved from the Tao Te Ching. There are many points, if you are not a person in my Tao, I am afraid that you will not be able to grasp the essentials. ”
The old Taoist said: "Daomen martial arts? Definitely? ”
Dao Ling: "Yes." When Ling Fengzi brought the secret book that day, Yu Qingshan immediately invited everyone to study it, and the juniors were also within the scope of the invitation. The younger generation has personally experienced it, and it is indeed a Taoist martial arts. It's just ......"
"But how?"
"It's just that whoever you are, you can practice one of them. If you practice two of these volumes, you will rush into anger and blood. ”
The old man's expression immediately changed: "Really? ”
Dao Ling replied, "Yes, Fu Zun. At that time, the two lords were in retreat, and the juniors did not dare to disturb them. However, even if this "Armor and Martial Arts" refers to the practice of one of the volumes, it will also be of infinite use to the younger generations. It can be said that every volume of the "Armor and Martial Arts" is a peerless martial art. It's just that they can't be combined. ”
The old man frowned, and suddenly turned his face and asked Jia Jiu: "Girl, how many volumes have you practiced?" ”
Jia Jiu replied, "Eight volumes." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Daokui was the first to blurt out: "Eight volumes? But you came to ......."
The white-haired old Dao waved his hand and stopped Dao Kui's next words: "This is your family heirloom martial arts, you only dedicate a part, it's normal." However, you shouldn't let your master take risks when you know that there will be problems with cultivating separately. ”
Jia Jiu replied, "The disciple didn't know before. ”
Lao Dao replied: "You don't know? ”
Jia Jiu replied, "Yes." In fact, the two nieces of the disciple had also studied the "Armor and Martial Arts", although it was also a part, but they did not have any problems. Therefore, the disciple did not know that this "Armor and Martial Arts" could not be practiced at the same time. ”
Yan Pianjiao interjected: "I heard that this martial arts has been in the Jia family for almost a hundred years. The Jia family has always been prosperous, but Rao is so many people in the Jia family, so he has a successful cultivation. It seems that what this martial art needs is not only understanding, but also bloodline limitations. ”
The two mansions listened, and then thought of the unique fertility characteristics of Broken Island, and couldn't help but nod.
The people of Broken Island are all fruits of trees, so it is not surprising that Broken Island martial arts and Broken Island bloodlines have a special connection.
Standing on the main seat, the blue Taoist asked Jia Jiu: "Tongyunliu, is this martial art really passed down from your grandfather?" ”
Jia Jiu thought for a while and replied: "Actually, it was the younger generation who had a strange dream after suing the emperor that year, dreaming of two ancestors, which were taught by the ancestors in their dreams. ”
"I see."
Although it is a bit different from the original statement, the two mansions of Taishang Mansion are not ordinary people, they are well-informed, and their acceptance of certain things is much higher than that of ordinary people. If Jia Jiu said that it was taught by the two ancestors in a dream, the emperor might have a knot in his heart about the Jia family and the Jia family, and even changed his way to ask for Jia Jiu's life.
Ordinary people are always afraid of ghosts and gods.
has lived for a long time and experienced a lot of things, and the two lords of the Taishang Mansion have seen how those ordinary people treat those aliens.
Therefore, Jia Jiu will conceal it, in the eyes of the two mansions, it is a way to protect themselves, and it is also a helpless move, and it is not a big mistake. (To be continued......)
