Chapter 5: Cloud Disciples
Chapter 5
"Tomorrow will be the day of the Cloud Palace's apprenticeship, you don't have to worry, your quota is ironclad."
"Really?! Thank you Daddy! ”
A middle-aged man with a girl who had just turned sixteen was rushing up to Rakshasa Town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and there were people lined up in front and behind them, after all, tomorrow was the day when the master of the Cloud Palace accepted apprentices, and there were many people who wanted to come to the Cloud Palace in all lifetimes, and this father and daughter were only two of the people who came to the Cloud Palace to seek a teacher.
On the top of the clouds, in a large palace outside the cloud palace, it was densely packed with people, and all kinds of people gathered together just to wait for the palace master's order, and the palace master was delayed, and everyone below took care of their own things.
"Palace master, the masters here are waiting for your instructions, it's been a long time, you don't come out, the bottom is busy by themselves."
"It's not that I don't go out, how many people did we have in Cloud Palace last year, and how many people will there be this year? This person is more than that! ”
"When it was your request, it is also your request now, I don't care! My Qingyun Palace is not for people to occupy the pit, and the trivial matters of the Cloud Palace are waiting for me......"
"This is the tone in which you speak to me, the palace master?"
"Don't talk about calves, who is it bad for you to find the master of your own palace? Find someone from Spirit Sword Mountain to come back! Isn't this change also your acquiescence?! ”
The palace master was choked speechless, it is true that this time the Cloud Palace accepted apprentices, but it was actually changed from the order, and this time the order was changed completely because of Li Guapi!
"A generation of Sword Venerables, who sealed themselves, did not have one percent of their own strength, and did not even have the strength of a serious nominal master! I also want to bring the dragon girl of Long Yongdi into the door... Isn't that a waste of genius?! ”
The palace master laughed bitterly at himself, "The corner of the wall that I dug up by myself must be mended while crying!" ”
"Then you're not going out yet?"
The palace master was helplessly pushed out by the Qingyun Hall Lord with a disgusted face, and there was immediately silence below. The palace master's eyelids jumped, and he made up his mind fiercely: Okay, you Li Bai, you have to bring any dragon girl, for your request, I even offended other hall masters...... The order has also been changed... The quality of this year's cloud apprentices ...... It's worrisome!
"I've seen the palace master!"
"The teachers have been waiting for a long time, there is something special about the Cloud Palace's acceptance of disciples this time, please forgive me!"
"The palace master can give an order, you are in the Cloud Palace, and it is really a blessing of heaven to have the support of the Cloud Palace, and it is the responsibility to contribute to the Cloud Palace!" "Yes to ......"
The moment the palace master came out, it was no longer quiet underneath, and it was already a lot of luck to be able to see the palace master of the Cloud Palace, not any master of the Cloud Palace could see him! Now, touting the palace master is even more excessive than patting the horse's ass, and the palace master has no fart!
"Masters, let's focus on tomorrow's apprenticeship! The future of Cloud Palace depends on your discerning talents. ”
The palace master then added: "This time, the change in the order to receive apprentices is true, the previous regulations were that only serious Cloud Palace masters can accept apprentices, and it has been changed to nominal masters can also accept apprentices." In contrast, there are more people. But for the sake of the future of the Cloud Palace, all the masters here are bound to make the best choice for the Cloud Palace! "Of course, according to this change, you will also adjust your remuneration points accordingly, Cloud Palace is still the same sentence, there are many meritorious people, and if you don't contribute to Cloud Palace, my Cloud Palace has its own plans!"
After the palace master finished speaking, he left the hall master in place, and he turned around and left.
"Woohoo... Lao Mu, help me get out of town...... I slipped away. ”
"Stinky and shameless, and I have to run away again, this handshaker is really so good to be a !!"
Mu Tong, the hall master of Qingyun Palace, glared at the palace master, but he could only let him go, after all, he was the palace master of his own family, and this handshake was not a matter of one or two times!
"Since the palace master has said so, what are the opinions of the masters? It's up to me to answer the question on behalf of the Lord of the Wood Boy Palace! ”
Many masters are enough to keep Mu Tong busy, but fortunately, most of the opinions on the premise are nominal! Most of them are asking how to accept apprentices tomorrow, some of these nervous masters have never taken apprentices, some are afraid that they don't have the ability, and some want to know whether the nominal master is reliable to lead apprentices.
All of these categories were refuted by Mu Tong.
"No matter who is serious, the nominal master, as long as he receives an apprentice for the Cloud Palace, he has the rights, and the amount of rights and interests he can get depends on his own insight, and there are many talents in the world, and there are many people who come to the Cloud Palace to seek a teacher, and there is never a shortage of geniuses! Moreover, the nominal master does not have to be nervous, as long as he teaches well, he will have the opportunity to become a serious master of the Cloud Palace and get more benefits for himself. ”
"What exactly is that benefit? Give money or give a position? ”
"You...... Brat! ”
"Tsk... I don't have anything to teach, but I have one thing to say, I will definitely contribute to the Cloud Palace, and I don't want much, just let me stay in the Cloud Palace. Hee-hee...... Yes sprinkle ~~"
Li Guapi came out of nowhere, and he came up with a smile on his face, as a nominal master, even other masters were laughing at him, but he actually said this in front of so many people in front of the Lord of the Mutong Palace.
The green tendons on the forehead of the Mutong Hall Lord slowly protruded, if it was said by other masters, he would definitely not be angry, but as soon as the Mutong Hall Master saw the melon skin, he tried his best to restrain his patience.
Endure... Endure... The corner dug up by the palace master, I can't throw it away! But I can't bear it, because this kid, Cloud Palace...... Endure... Ahhh
"Hahaha... Guapi, you are still like that, and you know how you came to Cloud Palace in the first place? ”
"How do you clip it? Picked it up. ”
"Yo, this kid is still alive? Life looks like it's a bit hard..."
"To borrow your auspicious words, I am still alive in the Cloud Palace."
"Guapi, let's show it again!"
Li Guapi and the other masters replied, not caring about the hall master beside him at all.
"Shut up! You're a melon peel! Give me back! ”
Guapi was yelled back by the hall master, and left timidly, and the other masters didn't ridicule Guapi when they saw this, and without Guapi, Mu Tong could be regarded as handling his own affairs.
"Wood Hall Master, I want to ask you a question, I wonder if the Hall Master can help me answer it?"
As soon as the Mutong Hall Master heard the voice, he turned his head to look, "It turned out to be Miss Du Fu!" Come, the old man knows and will answer! ”
Du Fu glanced around, quietly leaned over to Mu Tong's side and asked carefully: "Hall Master, a month ago, I heard that Lord Sword Immortal came to the Cloud Palace in person, but then disappeared, I want to know if Lord Li Bai is still in the Cloud Palace?" ”
"It's Li Bai again?!"
Mu Tong couldn't find the figure of the melon skin from the crowd, and his old face was dark!
"Miss Du Fu, this is the secret of the Cloud Palace, and the old man knows very little."
"Huh? Since the hall master doesn't know, I won't ask. Alas...... It is rumored that the sword immortal is reborn, and it is in Kunlun Mountain...... I thought I could see him, but it seems that there is really no chance. I blame myself for being out on business at the time......"
"What's so good about that kid in Guapi? So much to worry about the girl? What's so good about a half-demon, half-immortal person? ”
"Huh? What are you talking about? ”
"Oh...... Nothing ......."
Time goes slowly, but people don't stop. After Guapi came out of Qingyun Palace, he returned to his residence, still the broken door, broken wall and broken sword, and the task bounty of the Cloud Palace was all exchanged for wine money by himself, and he kept drinking all day long, and he went to change it after drinking, without the slightest change.
"A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows! Come on, do it! ”
"My sword, why are you back to the way you were? I finally repaired you from Brother Xiong, and now it's back to the way it used to be...... I'll count on you tomorrow... Apprentices! "I... I... I'm... I'm afraid that this nominal person will be driven out of the Cloud Palace...... But it's better to die than... Live! ”
A sip of wine poured on his remnant sword mountain, talking to himself about the sword, Guapi is used to it, there is no friend in the cloud palace, except for this broken sword, he has nothing to say. On this day, Guapi spent all his time in his room, occasionally being noisy by the crowd outside the door, and the rest of the time, he was drunk.
In the zero Gongling Palace: Everything is like Su, leaving the shallow owner power in the place where Lin Keer stayed, and the bamboo forest is luxuriant, this Gongling Hall is a condensed version of the unique environment of Long Yongdi. In the center of the bamboo forest is Kerr's residence, a delicate little bamboo house decorated with various things, and she lives in it, every day there are zero or orcs from all walks of life to teach various methods, known as the little bamboo fairy, she has the love of all things to grow. In the Gongling Palace, there is a new little partner of his own, such as the bead, the bead was originally a small clam spirit in the middle of the world, the sea realm, cultivated into an elf and came to the cloud palace to rebuild, and happened to meet the dragon girl, and the dragon girl herself has the power of the dragon lord just to make the bead ignite, and the current bead has always regarded Ke'er as her own master, and she is inseparable from her.
"Beads, do you think I'm going to go to find Zero-senpai? Tomorrow is the day when the Cloud Palace accepts apprentices, I have been in the Cloud Palace for a month, and I am familiar with it, I am afraid that tomorrow's day will be very busy......"
Zhuzi rubbed her little fat face with her round little fingers, flapped her blue wings and purred around in front of Kerr, indicating that she would always be with her, don't worry.
"My strength is still not well exerted, I still have to feel and use my mother's power, and when I master it, I must make the beads like a human!"
Gollum~~
Although the bead is an elf, it is a lowly elf, conscious but unable to speak and live like a human being...... As long as Ke'er can grasp her own power, use the power of all things, and help all things grow to the extreme, she can make beads like people!
Although Ke'er was born with an understanding of how to communicate with each other, she wanted to rely on her own strength to make everything better. When you come to Cloud Palace, in addition to learning to master your own strength, more importantly, you can be like your mother and contribute your own strength to all things in the world.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry to grasp the power, you can't eat it in a hurry."
Zero suddenly appears next to Kerr.
"Senpai? You're back! ”
"I'm back, the matter on the palace master's side is almost the same, I'll come back as soon as possible."
"Then what spell will you teach me today?"
Zero was slightly stunned, thinking that what he could teach was actually something that Ke'er couldn't practice at all now, and he was uncomfortable, so he could only be taught by others in the Cloud Palace!
"Alas~ Ke'er, your current strength still has to be developed by yourself, the person who can let you learn to master this power is not me, my strength is absolutely strong, it is all violent academics, I can teach too little!"
"Huh? So what should I do tomorrow? I still think my seniors can teach me......"
Zero also thought about it after hearing Ke'er's words, and didn't have to worry when he thought that Ke'er would enter the Sword Immortal Li Bai's door, a generation of Sword Venerable personally taught it by hand, which was different from his own rough teaching! But now, Zero has a little regret.
Once again, he sealed his own sword immortal Li Bai and the current Li Guapi are completely the same heaven and one earth! With the current strength of the melon skin, he is not even worthy of a nominal master, if it weren't for the palace master to protect him, this melon skin would have been driven away by the cloud palace.
"Don't worry, the Cloud Palace has its own arrangements, my predecessor is the master of the first hall, those masters dare not give me this face?"
Zero said this very vainly, not because he was afraid of not giving face, but because he was really afraid of handing over the dragon girl to Li Bai, it was true that he couldn't teach it well!
Ke'er was interested and asked, "Is that the adult who saved me last time?" ”
"What, what, my lord?"
"Oops, I remember that I was rescued by a person, who was very strong, not only saved me, but also seemed to destroy all the bad guys! I want to learn from him! ”
Zero's old face instantly darkened, and he secretly complained in his heart: "Hehe, that kid doesn't know anything now, maybe it would be good if he could unblock it, but maybe this unblocking will be a big trouble!" As soon as Li Bai unsealed, it will be a great chaos for eternity! ”
"It's okay, you'll definitely find a good master!"
"Mmmm, I will definitely work hard, for my mother's last wish, for eternity!"
On the day of the Cloud Palace's acceptance of apprentices, as scheduled, on the top of Kunlun Mountain, the twelve hall masters of the Cloud Palace, and the twenty-four pavilion masters arrived one after another, after all, it was the grand day of the Cloud Palace's acceptance of apprentices, and it had to be a bit of a row...... However, these hall masters are just showing their faces, and they don't accept apprentices, and the real core is still the master of the Cloud Palace! Up and down the Cloud Palace, there have been more than 300 masters, of course, most of them are nominal masters, real masters, no more than fifty people in previous years! Now there are more than 300, which means that most of them are in name. But even so, you can't underestimate any master! The so-called forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, there are like Li Guapi, and naturally there are people like Du Fu, the strength of the master is uneven, which is the focus of this year's apprenticeship.
"Each master accepts at least one apprentice! What do you think of this rule? ”
"How you can look at it, it all depends on the ability of these little masters."
"Among this nominal master, there are many Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, who would know that there would be a peerless master, after all, this is the Cloud Palace!"
Just when many of the hall masters of the Cloud Palace were discussing, a loud bang shook the audience.
The palace master's voice exploded in the air: "The palace master urgently announced: Cloud Palace accepts apprentices, and this is the beginning!" ”
The palace master of the Cloud Palace is still the shopkeeper, and the annual apprenticeship day must be thousands of miles away, and as soon as the voice arrives, it indicates the beginning of the Cloud Palace's apprenticeship.
"This palace master is also fast enough, so we hall masters haven't sat hot yet......"
The masters below have become serious and serious, although this time the apprenticeship day is only one day, but there are people who have been waiting for several days or even days and months outside, and there are countless people! Especially this time, the requirements for accepting disciples are more relaxed than the previous ones, and there are even more people in the world who want to take this opportunity to enter the Cloud Palace!
No matter how many people miss today, it will be difficult to enter the Cloud Palace! Therefore, as soon as the palace master announced the beginning, the door of the outside world opened by itself, and people poured in like water!
"I have long heard that the Cloud Palace stands on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and the space opened up by the strong can enjoy eternal glory! Now that I see it, it's really extraordinary. ”
The people of the eternal world were amazed the moment they entered the door, the place where the apprentices were accepted was indeed an empty space in the Cloud Palace, but this space was also one of the many developments and uses. What really surprised them was that the more than three hundred masters of the Cloud Palace were waiting quietly in their own exclusive positions at the moment, as if they were waiting for themselves, and everyone had their own exclusive masters!
The people who came in were very excited and happy, but the people waiting were mixed! All in all, each has its own taste.
"And the hall master, what do you think of this year's apprenticeship?"
The hall master of Mu Tong and Xing, zero, are the closest to the palace master, and they are also the only hall masters who know the identity of Li Guapi, and they simply gathered together to discuss which master is the best and most prestigious in the cloud palace among the apprentices this time!
He spread his hands, and his eyes deliberately looked at the plum melon peel on the edge of the bottom corner, as if to say: It's all because of this kid's changed order, what can I do?
"It's hard to say the quality of this year's cloud apprentices, mainly because there are too many problems with the master...... Old Zero, are you so willing to hand over the dragon girl to that kid? That is the power of nature for eternity, the only one for the dragon lord, and the only one for eternity! ”
Zero also stared at Li Guapi, "Hmph, I told the palace master, if I can't teach it well in a year, I will forcibly help Ke'er change to a reliable person!" ”
"The palace master has promised?"
"Just like this melon skin, Ke'er is not ruined in his hands? Anyway, it's only a year, if you can't teach it well, you can change it, no matter if he breaks the seal or not! ”
"Good! Let's support you, when the sword fairy breaks the seal, I will sacrifice you to the sky first, hahaha......"
"Go, if that kid wants to do it, he will take the palace master first, but who will make up for the corner he dug back?"
"Makes sense......"
After the three of them teased the palace master for a few words, the next focus was not only on Li Guapi, but also on other masters, especially Zero, who had been paying attention to the strength shown by other masters, so that Ke'er could know more about the roots of the master in the future.
The rules of the Cloud Palace for accepting apprentices are very simple: Generally speaking, serious masters have been there for almost decades, or their strength has been there, except for some new serious masters who want to show their strength, people in the world can know the strength of the master in the outside world, because there is also the ranking of Yun apprentice masters in the outside world! Therefore, people from the outside world want to apprentice, and most of them are looking for masters who can be ranked!
This ranking, only fifty, the strength of the top twenty masters, are more or less famous in a certain aspect, at least now more than 300 masters together to accept apprentices, no rank of the master is embarrassing, no one knows the strength, in order to accept apprentices, their best way is to show their strength in person! Therefore, there are more and more masters who show their strength on the spot, more like apprentices choosing masters!
"Alas~~ It seems that this year's cloud disciples are difficult......"
Elder Mo leaned against the gate, eating long noodles and watching the play.
"Hurry up, it's Master Shang Yin over there! It is said that he is the seventh son of the Daomen, and the Daomen is friendly with the Cloud Palace, and he ranks nineteenth as the master of the Cloud Palace. ”
After finishing speaking, a father and son rushed to the position of Master Shangyin in their mouths, only to see Li Shangyin sitting quietly in front of his position, a fierce knife standing on the ground.
"This shadow knife is used by the people selected by my knife gate, as long as the person who comes pulls out this knife, he will be qualified to enter my door! Those who are capable are at their own convenience, and those who are incompetent are self-leaving! ”
After speaking, the people behind continued to take the initiative to pull out the knife, but half a day passed, and none of them could pull it out.
The person who couldn't pull it out sighed, but soon went to find other masters, and it was a good explanation of what it means that people can't hang themselves from a tree! Your potential may not be on the knife, or it may be in other aspects, and you have to try repeatedly to know what master you should worship.
"Master Du Fu! Sixth-ranked master! He is proficient in the kendo of all the worlds, and is known as the first person to collect the kendo! And she is the eldest lady of the Du family, young and beautiful, and her strength coexists! ”
In an instant, a large number of people were occupied in front of Du Fu's position, and everyone who saw it was amazed by Du Fu's beauty and strength!
"With such a master, I am willing to bow down to the skirt !!"
"Master, I love it!"
With a cold posture and disdainful eyes, this cold woman attracts most of the people, but the people who can enter her eyes are equally pitiful.
"Ouyang Xiu! That's comparable to the master of the pavilion master! Its own strength is famous in the world! Cloud Palace has the ability to make this kind of person a master?! It's the number one existence......"
There are three of the top three Cloud Palace masters: Ouyang Xiu, who has the strength of the Pavilion Master level, and his age is also the same as that of the Pavilion Master, the real crane hair and childish face is him, and the first place also explains his status, and he, as the representative of the Cloud Palace Master, also accepted a lot of apprentices for the Cloud Palace, and now there are seven or eight behind him, and those seven or eight people are nothing more than geniuses!
The master of the second place, Su Jiuzhong! Also known as Su Shi! He is proficient in the two realms of water and fire, and has cultivated to the strength of the Nine Heavens of Water and Fire, and is the third leader of the Su family among the top ten in the world! The strength is as terrifying as the background! Behind him, there are also several geniuses with an income!
The master of the third place, Bai Juyi! The descendants in the Juyi realm, needless to say, the strength is needless to say, the key is that he is famous for his skillful hand to return to the heavens, and he can learn a star and a half to establish eternity without falling! Those who can enter his disciples don't know how many lifetimes of blessings have been cultivated!
An Shi, Xin Qiji, Du Mu, Li Qingzhao............ Many famous masters have more or less accepted disciples, which makes people sigh how powerful the Cloud Palace is! Let you, a well-known figure in the world, stay in the Cloud Palace as a master!
"It is worthy of the Cloud Palace, and there is a reason why it has been invincible in the eternal world for thousands of years!!"
Of course, the above are all situations where there is a ranking, and the masters who do not have a ranking are much more difficult, like Li Guapi, who has been waiting in his position for I don't know how long, but he took the wine and drank it!
"Master? But what strength do you have? ”
The person who came forward and asked about the plum melon peel
Guapi glanced at it, poured himself a drink, and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven can't get on the boat, and he claims to be a fairy in wine!" ”
"Cut...... Isn't it just a drunkard......"
People came and went, and the melon skin was so drunk that his face was red, and he laughed to himself, as if this matter of accepting apprentices had nothing to do with him.
I don't know how much I drank, the melon skin was a little confused and lay in his place, half a pot of wine was left, and his tied hair had already been blown away by the wind in the drunkenness, and his current appearance was completely the sword fairy! Even zero they were shocked, but fortunately, Li Guapi was drunk, if Li Guapi broke the seal, they would be offended!
"Whew~~ Finally found you, master!"
"Huh?"
Lin Ke'er was out of breath, she searched all over the place, squeezed through the crowd, gave up on so many dazzling masters, and finally found the best master in her heart in this corner that was blocked......
Lin Keer stepped forward and jumped on Li Guapi, as if he had identified the target, and only recognized Guapi as a master.
"I thought I'd never see you again, it turns out that what Senior Zero said is true!"
The wine jug of Li Guapi fell to the ground, and the remaining half bottle of wine was gone, he looked at the woman holding him tightly, his eyes lit up, and he fell asleep!
"Haha, old zero, the dragon girl has finally found him, you have to let go of your thoughts!"
"Okay, Mu Tong helped me a little, and my blood pressure went up instantly!"
Zero covered his head, "Is this the arrangement of fate, or the arrangement of the Cloud Palace?" ”
The time of the day passed quickly, and the collection of disciples in the Cloud Palace also came to an end, and the people slowly left. Everything seems to be arranged, and people have their own fate, and this fate also makes them come to the Cloud Palace and become Cloud Disciples!
Cloud Disciples? The core strength of the Cloud Palace, in addition to dealing with the affairs between the eternals, is to cultivate the future power of the Cloud Palace, and they who become the disciples of the Cloud Palace are the existence of the Cloud Palace!
