Chapter Twenty-Three: Three or Five Buckets Overcharged
The Spirit Sword Sect has not held an immortal ascension conference for more than a hundred years, and now that it has opened, it is a terrifying harvest.
Leaving from Taoyuan Village, there are a total of 17 trialists who have walked on the last part of the road, thanks to Wang Lu's blessing, and now 15 of the 17 people have passed the test, except for the two unlucky people who gave up early, even Hai Yunfan, Zhu Qin, Wang Zhong and others also climbed out of an ice cave with difficulty after the heaven and earth were obediently separated, and went all the way to the end.
Under the sword, the four major caves ran through, and the entire road to immortal ascension was cut in half, and everyone passed the test unconditionally......
This unexpected joy is simply dizzying, but on the other side, the Spirit Sword Sect is a mess inside, if the previous Taoyuan Village and other problems were just ringworm scabies, now this harvest scene has become a big pain that hurts the muscles and bones, this kind of thing even the Ethereal Peak Lord can't decide, the result is naturally the noise to the Xingchen Peak of the Spirit Sword Mountain where the head is located.
At the top of Xingchen Peak, in the hut where the head of the sect was deliberating, the nine elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall (current) gathered in one room.
The Great Elder, that is, the current head Feng Yin, was in the first place, but at this time, he closed his eyes and kept silent. Second Elder Liu Xian was indignant, and slapped the armrest of the seat again and again, letting out a roar.
"I said a long time ago that you can't let that woman go nonsense! That idiot brain is simply bad! You prefer to connive, and you want to believe in her humanized innovation! Something went wrong! You say, how the hell is it going to end now!? ”
The other elders had different expressions, but none of them wanted to get involved in the current mess.
Only a lively girl at the bottom smiled and started the round: "Second Senior Brother, you are also the teacher of the inner disciples, you should pay attention to self-cultivation as a teacher, not to mention that even if you blame the fifth senior sister now, it will not help." ”
Seeing that pretty smiling face, Liu Xian didn't have a seizure, just shook his head and complained: "Little junior sister, you said it lightly, and now it's not your turn to have a headache......
The girl continued to snicker: "Hehe, who made you the master of the Ethereal Peak, I am just the master of the Loose Peak, if you want me to say that you can simply accept it, it just so happens that our Spirit Sword Sect is withering, and these fifteen people can be a little more lively." ”
Liu Xian's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes widened: "Little junior sister, don't be joking!" I have been in the Ethereal Peak for more than 100 years, and there are only thirty-four inner disciples, so there are fifteen more newcomers this time, don't you mess up! The original plan was that it would be good to have more than a dozen people go to the top, so we made an exception and carefully selected three or five people...... As a result, I was by that woman, and now I can't end it at all! ”
Lu Li, the sixth elder who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, slowly spoke: "Not to mention anything else, the sect's resources can't support fifteen more inner disciples, although our Spirit Sword Sect's days are easy, we can't afford to waste it." ”
Liu Xian nodded again and again, and said to the little junior sister Hua Yun: "Look, even Senior Brother Lu Li said so, what else do you have to say, little junior sister?" ”
The little junior sister stuck out her tongue: "The people in charge of the finances have spoken, what else can I, a person who eats people's soft mouths, say?" It made Senior Brother Lu Li angry, and if we cut the budget of our Xiaoyao Peak this year, I won't be able to sing. ”
Lu Li is angry and angry, when did I cut your budget? You want money, when did I say no? ”
"Hmph, last time I wanted to buy the Star Aurora Diamond, didn't you approve it?"
“…… How can you use public funds to buy jewelry for yourself!? ”
"Ahem!"
At this time, the Great Elder who was in the first place finally couldn't stand it.
"Okay, don't argue, this matter really can't be left alone, but how to solve it still needs to come up with a practical plan. You said that these fifteen people can't all be recruited into the Ethereal Peak, and I agree with it, but what next? There has to be a way to deal with it. ”
Several elders looked at each other, all feeling a little embarrassed. Everyone has a way, but if you can convince everyone here, then you don't have this confidence.
As a result, it was the sixth elder who spoke: "According to my calculations, it is naturally not possible for all of these fifteen people to be incorporated into the Ethereal Peak...... But there is no problem in joining Xiaoyao Peak, and the sect's resources can fully support it. ”
No matter which sect, the distinction between the inner and outer doors is like a world of difference, the Spirit Sword Sect pursues an elite policy, and the place where people wither is even more so, the inner disciples are thirty-four, but the outer disciples are more than two hundred, and the resources invested by the sect in the two are more than ten times different.
However, the Spirit Sword Sect may be able to support the expenses of fifteen outer disciples, but a certain junior sister, Hua Yun, who is also the master of Xiaoyao Peak, has quit.
"What do you mean, stinky old six? Do you want to use my Xiaoyao Peak as a scrap shop!? ”
Lu Li hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I'm just providing a plan from the perspective of sect resources, junior sister, don't misunderstand......
The little junior sister sat down with a look of displeasure on her face, and then said: "If you want me to say, anyway, this Immortal Ascension Conference has not succeeded in recruiting people for more than a hundred years, so it is better to simply kick these fifteen people down the mountain." ”
Lu Li Fang only made Hua Yun angry, and at this time he also echoed very interestingly: "Well, that can save a lot of resources for the sect......
"Don't you come up with ideas and kick these fifteen people out of the box? Why? According to the rules, they have all successfully completed the path to immortal ascension, and even walked to the Ethereal Peak in a down-to-earth manner! ”
Elder Fang He pointed at Hua Yun and Lu Li with some anger: "If those evil sects are crooked, or small sects that don't come to the stage, it's fine, but our Spirit Sword Sect has done this kind of thing, it is simply a shame for the patriarch!" ”
Hua Yun stuck out her tongue, not daring to contradict this elder whose majesty was second only to the senior brother in charge, but after a while, she tilted her head and whispered: "The old stubborn ...... who is destined to be lonely all his life"
Fang He's ears moved, and he was so angry that he was going to die.
Fortunately, the head of the house spoke in time: "Hehe, it's troublesome now, you can't keep it, you can't accept it, how can it be good?" ”
Second Elder Liu Xian said very unceremoniously: "In the final analysis, it is the senior brother in charge who is too indulgent to the fifth junior sister, please come up with a plan for this matter!" ”
"Hehe, if you want to talk about the plan, I have one, in fact, it's simple, since there are too many fifteen people, let's go and sift it in person, and brush down the unqualified ones."
Elder Fang He frowned: "Master, this is not in accordance with the rules, it stands to reason that they have already passed the test, and they should not have any more troubles......
"The rules also need to be explained, if you want me to say, these fifteen people have not yet passed the path of ascending to immortals, because the last link was forcibly interrupted by an irresistible external force, and their trials were not completed at all."
Fang He was dumbfounded: "This is simply a strong word. ”
Liu Xian applauded the proposal of the head of the house as a matter of course: "How can it be strong? It's a golden word! This time, the road to immortal ascension has been changed repeatedly, and the head of the family is already very kind-hearted if he didn't let them start all over again. ”
The top ten elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall (now it is nine), the first and second ranked ones have set the tone, what else can others say? So this is the end of this head office meeting.
Half a day later, the Heavenly Sword Hall elders gathered at the Ethereal Peak to examine the fifteen trialists who should have passed the test.
——
Most of the fifteen trialists gathered in front of the Ethereal Peak Xuanyun Hall were filled with resentment.
Of course, this is also human nature, when I was full of joy and thought that the door of the fairy road had been opened, I was notified that I wanted to take an additional test temporarily, and from the perspective of the examiner lineup, the elimination rate of this additional test is quite considerable! This is like the night of the candle in the cave room, when you take off your pants and pick up a gun, you lift the hijab and see that it is the old man who smiles into a chrysanthemum face, reaching out to ask for a huge bride price, and it is no wonder that people are indignant.
But if it is not uneven, it is still necessary to accept the reality after making a noise, after all, even the person who is most qualified to make noise is quiet, and the protests of others are quite unreasonable.
Wang Lu's silence made many people lose the opportunity to play on the question, but this additional test is the most unfair to him, because among the fifteen people, only Wang Lu has stepped through all the levels to the bottom, and the others have completely taken a ride. But in the list of additional tests, Wang Lu's name is impressively listed, and I don't know what the people of the Spirit Sword Sect are thinking, could it be that they didn't plan to take in any newcomers from the beginning?
What are the considerations of the Spirit Sword Sect, Wang Lu doesn't know and doesn't bother to think about it, for him who is full of confidence, the more trials the Spirit Sword Sect gives, the more difficult it is, the more brilliant the final victory will be, anyway, the Heavenly Spirit Root is here, who dares to disagree?
Therefore, while the others were gathering in the square in front of Xuanyun Hall to discuss countermeasures, Wang Lu stood alone under a tree and watched coldly. At this time, Xuanyun Hall has not been opened, and the trial method has not been decided, even he, a professional adventurer, can't figure out the next clue, and can he discuss and come up with an egg? Pure masturbation acts.
However, it always feels like the future is tortuous, and it may be more unexpected......
——
Just as the young people in front of the hall were thinking wildly, time passed minute by minute, and the door of Xuanyun Hall was never opened, and everyone had to spend time outside.
And in the Xuanyun Hall, the elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall were also a little anxious - everyone else had already arrived, waiting for the additional test to begin, but the head of the sect himself had not arrived!
Although the higher the position, the later the person arrives, this is a common rule in any industry, but Feng Yin Zhenren never puts on that useless pomp, and his punctuality dwarfs many people (especially the five elders of the original Heavenly Sword Hall). And this time, the real person in charge was late for half an hour, which was confusing.
The fourth elder Zhou Ming was a little anxious, and instructed his personal disciple: "Liuli, you go and see what the head of the sect is doing, and invite him over." ”
A female disciple beside him smiled and nodded, and flew away with light.
After half a pillar of incense, the female disciple flew back again: "Report to Master, I didn't find the master." ”
“…… Where did you find it? ”
"I don't know what to say, Master didn't say it just now."
"You ......" Zhou Ming opened his mouth and finally shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, sit down." ”
"Yes!"
