Chapter 482: The Sect Accepts Disciples
Passing through the vast mountains, following the path that others walked out, there was nothing to do all the way, passing through two or three villages, Xiao Ye finally saw the first city after entering Yanzhou! Or more appropriately called a city! The huge city wall of more than ten zhang high is erected on the plain with a strong sense of oppression, the city wall stretches for nearly a hundred miles, and there is a mountain peak of several hundred zhang high in it, and the pavilions and pavilions above are seen from afar, as if there is a sense of entering the fairyland, and the aura that is far richer than the mountain forest emanates from the city gate hole that is nearly half a mile long.
The city walls are tall, the gates are equally tall, and there is a moat of nearly 100 zhang outside the three gates that are nearly ten zhang high and eight zhang wide, and the river is turbulent inside, and sometimes you can see huge and ugly fish jumping from it! Three suspension bridges with a width of more than ten zhang extend from the foot of the city gate, spanning a distance of hundreds of zhang to connect the two sides of the moat into one, not only there are many pedestrians on it, but also some majestic beasts are seen! The city gate alone is full of people!
In general, Yanzhou is a continent where mortals and cultivators live together, and there are many cultivators on it, but there are also many mortals. Mortals are a kind of existence attached to the cultivators, and they are usually responsible for helping the cultivators take care of the sundries, but they can also mix food and clothing, but if they want to live a prosperous life, they must have the support of the cultivators behind them! Moreover, mortals are not qualified to wear robes to walk outside, and robes are the mark of cultivators! And the distinction between cultivators and mortals is so clear, one is to emphasize the division of ranks, and the other is to protect mortals!
In Yanzhou, if there is no deep hatred such as the hatred of destroying the door, it is not allowed to kill mortals directly, but for cultivators, there are not so many constraints, maybe just by the two of them looking at each other in the crowd, it is possible to fight! Among cultivators, what is particular is that the weak eat the strong, even among most sects. The competition between brothers and sisters is also cruel to life and death!
Only a very small number of sects with profound heritage and few disciples pay attention to unity, and brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, and others are virtues in the eyes of mortals, and hypocrisy in the eyes of cultivators! The uneven cultivation resources are the most fundamental reason for the law of the jungle! Very few cultivators rely on their descendants to pass it on, and most of them rely on the relationship between master and apprentice. And most of the disciples are mortals, so the number of cultivators is growing faster than the number of mortals, so cannibalism and survival of the fittest have long been an unwritten rule!
Of course, as long as there are people in society, there must be class differentiation, and the same is true in Yanzhou. The disciples of those big sects who came out to walk, in addition to other big sects that could match them, most of those small sects or loose cultivators would choose to retreat when they showed their signboards! Hit the small ones and the old ones. It is a very common thing in the cultivation realm!
Only when the strength is equal and no one can help the other party, will the two sides find a third party to intervene and sentence them in accordance with the rules of "walking all over the world with reason" that circulates on the surface!
At this time, most of the people walking on the suspension bridge were people in short robes, and they carried anti-bags one by one, or in groups of three or five, or in groups of a dozen, following behind the young and old robed people. With flattering smiles on their faces, they seem to be tired of these errands!
"Brother Gong. I heard that this year's quota in our Yellowstone City is ten fewer than in previous years, I don't know why? I have always heard that the news of the public brother has a wide range of channels, and he is a big man in my generation, I don't know if I can solve the doubts of the younger brother? A young man dressed like Xiao Ye walked quickly towards a merry boy wearing a bright yellow robe and holding a folding fan. He bowed from afar, with a smile on his face, and asked!
The two are obviously acquaintances, and the male brother who is known as the man who is known as the hand and eye also dare not hold it up, and returned a bowing salute from afar. Only then did he put aside the group of short-shirted entourages behind him and walked briskly towards the person who was questioning, "Brother Liang, you are also here to participate in the acceptance of disciples in the Huangshi Sect this time?" The younger brother wished Brother Liang in advance to win a place in one fell swoop, win the favor of famous teachers, and enter the Huangshi Sect smoothly! I don't know much about what you're talking about, but I've heard vaguely that it seems that this time it's time to recruit registered disciples from the outside world once in fifty years, because there was no enrollment in the last fifty years, so the sect that was drawn this time has to give up ten places! According to rumors, there is no shortage of masters in the outside world this time, and it is also their blessing that they can be favored by our Huangshi Sect! ”
"This ...... Didn't our Huangshi Sect already recruit disciples from the outside world six hundred years ago, why did we still occupy the quota of our Huangshi Sect this time! "Brother Liang seems to be a little angry about the reduction of the quota, and he doesn't care at all about the excellent qualifications of those outsiders that Brother Gong said is excellent. Can Xiao Ye understand his form, the mentality of the college entrance examination single-plank bridge, reducing the number of places by ten means reducing the chance of entering the sect! Anyone who hears such news will probably be unhappy, especially if it seems unreasonable!
"Brother Liang has a lot to say!" Brother Gong Yi stepped forward and gently pulled the sleeve of Brother Che Liang, with a hint of anxiety on his face, he looked left and right, it was rude to release his divine consciousness casually among cultivators, Xiao Ye asked himself that his divine sense was not strong enough to make everyone unable to find out, so he could only rely on his own ears to collect information! And these two are the same, Brother Gong Lose can't use his divine sense to look around, he can only use his eyes to collect information, "The reason for this involves the secrets of the Huangshi Sect, Brother Liang is cautious!"
The two gradually walked away, and Xiao Ye still pricked up his ears to collect information about Yanzhou among the pedestrians around him! He has carried out this kind of behavior all the way, and has collected a lot of information about Yellowstone, but this kind of thing about survival, of course, the more the better! It is recorded in the jade slips of Yanzhou left by middle-aged people on the sea that Huangshi City is just a small city in a remote part of Yanzhou, but from Xiao Ye's own observations, Huangshi City is the largest city within a radius of thousands of miles.
Although Yellowstone City is majestic and huge at ordinary times, there are really not so many people gathered here, and the reason why many people are flocking to Yellowstone City is because there are representatives of the sect in Yellowstone City at this moment, and the news of recruiting disciples has spread to the ears of every woman and child!
Loose cultivation is very unacceptable in Yanzhou, and all those who have the ability will choose to enter the sect, even if they enter a small sect, the treatment is much worse than that of casual cultivation!
Huangshi City began to recruit Xiuzhen disciples at this time, which means that the entire Yanzhou is recruiting Xiuzhen disciples, such a grand event is held every ten years, and every five years individual sects will hold a separate recruitment of disciples according to the size of the disciples. After all, under the rules, the amount of loss of cultivators is still very huge, and once a battle between sects occurs, there will be countless low-level sect disciples who will become cannon fodder in the war!
Yanzhou's apprenticeship obviously started earlier than the outside world, at least according to Jianren, they wouldn't enter Yanzhou until a month later!
Carrying a bearskin coat on his back and an ordinary iron sword in his hand, Xiao Ye followed the crowd towards Huangshi City, he planned to enter the Huangshi Sect first, the sect where Zhu Yunwen was, and after cultivating for a period of time, he would make other choices! It is not uncommon for people like him to be single and walk alone without an entourage, most of them are casual cultivators or small family monks, and they can't afford to bring a short-shirted retinue at all, because the inn in Yellowstone City doesn't matter if you are a mortal or a cultivator, as long as you live in the room inside, you have to hand in the spirit crystal!
The reason why Yellowstone City was built here is that the Yellowstone Sect certainly has their considerations, firstly, there is a spiritual vein hidden under Yellowstone City, and the spiritual aura here is very strong. The second is that this place is close to the mountain range that Xiao Ye walked out of-the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and the establishment of Yellowstone City can effectively block the impact of the beast tide on the hinterland of the Yellowstone Sect. At the same time, Yellowstone City as a front-line position, it also has a strong ability to absorb gold, many people who want to enter the Fierce Beast Mountain Range to hunt fierce beasts, have to stay in Yellowstone City, the entrance fee is one spirit crystal per person, mortals are half a spirit crystal, after paying can enjoy the treatment of staying in the city for three days, if you stay for more than three days, you must pay the fine and the spirit crystal for the extended time!
