Chapter 172: The Twelve Great Elders
Dengyuntai is another large floating mountain adjacent to this Lingshu platform, looking very close, but it also flew for half an hour on a puppet bird.
Compared to Lingshu Terrace, this cloud platform is obviously much more lively.
Before it was close, it was already able to smell the refreshing fragrance of flowers and trees, the aura was dense, a silver-white waterfall was formed from the high mountain, and from time to time there was a sound of insects and birds in the forest, which was full of vitality.
This kind of scene is very amazing in the eyes of Si Tu, and it is commonplace for many other students. Those slightly powerful family realms, which mountain is not full of all kinds of rare flowers and trees, the formation is shrouded in spiritual light, how grand and magnificent it is, and the school's Dengyuntai Committee is really a little too low-key.
Led by an elder, the crowd followed around and around to a majestic hall. The main hall is divided into inside and outside, and it is the outer hall that they are in at the moment. A powerful and restrained aura emanated from the inner sanctum separated by only one wall, and it calmed everyone at once.
The leading elder asked the two hundred students to wait in the outer hall, entered the inner hall for a while, and then hurried out, and said to everyone, "The twelve elders are already in the inner hall, and you have decided which elder you want to choose, so you will enter the hall one by one, and the elders will give you tokens." β
Do you want to go in one by one? Si Tu looked at the entrance, and his mouth was dry. Although she hadn't seen a Xuanyuan cultivator, her father was in the middle of Xuanyuan, but the inner hall was not one or two Xuanyuan, but twelve. To be honest, it is a bit timid to go alone to meet these unfathomable seniors in cultivation.
Si Tu eased her breath without a trace, fortunately, she walked behind when she entered the door this time, and in this order, I am afraid that it will take a while before it will be her turn, so as not to show her timidity in front of others.
The leading elder's gaze swept over the students, and then said, "Remember to see the elder performing the teacher ceremony after entering the hall, don't lose the etiquette, just start with you." β
He pointed to the first person in the front row, who nodded in astonishment and strode into the inner sanctum. However, I am afraid that only those who observe carefully will notice that there is still a slight vanity between his steps, and it seems that he is too nervous.
After a quarter of an hour, the student returned to the outer hall with a pale face, and he could see that he was very excited and excited between his eyebrows. I don't know if Bai Sensen's face was frightened by the momentum of the elders, or because he was too nervous.
The people in front of Si Tu entered the hall one by one and came back, and everyone's expressions were different. Yuesheng and Long Ling'er were both in the front position, and they had also walked back and forth in the inner hall. In addition to Yuesheng's face being a little pale, it is not difficult to see that her face is full of excitement. Long Ling'er is different, she just went through the motions, and her expression has not even changed. She is the princess of the Heavenly Dragon Realm, and there are many seniors in the realm who have advanced cultivation. It's just that when I see a few elders, I won't be frightened.
An hour passed, and finally it was Si Tu's turn to enter the temple. She trembled past the students one by one, and walked to the entrance to strengthen her courage before slamming her head in.
The inner sanctum is much larger than the outer nave, with twelve chairs lined up at the top. The elders sat upright, all wrapped in spiritual light, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
As soon as Si Tu entered the inner hall, he didn't even raise his head, and hurriedly walked to the head of the twelve elders and stood with his hands down, and then folded his hands close to the center of his eyebrows, and bent down to bow.
Although the elder only gives guidance once every seven days, he is also his own teacher. As a teacher for one day and a father for life, this teacher ceremony is equivalent to the highest etiquette of worshipping only the kings of heaven and earth.
Fortunately, this etiquette has been seen at the wedding banquet ceremony of the second uncle and aunt, and there is no mistake in the action.
Si Tu didn't get up after worshipping, just waiting for the twelve Buddhas above to speak.
The aura fluctuated slightly, and then Si Tu stood up straight under a gentle force. This power is not overbearing, but it makes Si Tusheng not have the slightest intention of resisting.
Raising his head, twelve rounds of scorching sun-like spiritual light shone brightly, and a gentle voice came out of it, "Don't be restrained, but you can think about which elder to choose?" β
Si Tu had already made his choice, and said without thinking, "The junior chooses the Nine Elders. β
After a while, he said, "Tell me why you chose it this way." β
Now the boss was stunned, and he didn't say that there was still this link. Didn't you take a token?,Why did you even engage in Q&A.γ
How to answer this? You can't say that you are the Nine Elders who are chosen by greed, right?
She frowned, the twelve elders were in full view, and an elder with a long beard smiled sideways, and said, "This is the pure girl of the Yuan Shen that Wuchen Wuxing said, but I didn't expect to be under the Nine Elders." β
The Nine Elders were in the center, and their faces that looked no more than in their early twenties were out of place among a group of elders. He almost reclined in his chair and said nonchalantly, "You don't know that I have always been lazy, how can I say that I seem to have picked up a big bargain." β
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately couldn't sit still, and anxiously said, "If the Ninth Elder is unwilling, then this girl will be handed over to me to teach." Such seedlings are really rare, and it is too long to instruct them once in seven days, and the old man wants to accept them as his own disciples. β
The person who spoke had a big bald head on his head, and it was none other than the elder of the Great Buddha Realm in the Twelve RealmsβKong Xuan. A person who cultivates Buddhism should have a pure heart and few desires, but this time he is really eager to seek talents, such good seedlings are simply born for cultivating Buddha, if he misses this life, he will be uneasy.
Before the Nine Elders could speak, Si Tu, who was standing below, had already thought about how to answer, and slowly said with wet peach blossom eyes, "The junior junior is beginning to cultivate, and he wants to try the way of the twelve elders, so he chose the Nine Elders' guidance. The younger generation also knows that cultivation should not be greedy, and it is useless to be miscellaneous and refined, but the younger generation does not want to blindly move forward on just one side. Dare to speculate that the nine elders can mean it, even if you misunderstand, you will not lose. β
"It's a good calculation."
Si Tu hurriedly lowered his head, this voice was neither sad nor joyful, and he couldn't hear any emotion, and he couldn't tell which elder it came from. Her heart sank for a moment, she wouldn't offend anyone, right?
The Ninth Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze resting on Si Di's eyes, and the words just now came from his mouth. In fact, it wasn't just Si Tu who didn't understand what he meant, but even the other eleven elders were also watching sideways.
Elder Kong Xuan was particularly anxious, his position was two people away from the Ninth Elder, if it weren't for the fact that this girl was still in the hall, I was afraid that he would have to get up and discuss it with him. At this moment, Kong Xuan was in a hurry, and he could only transmit his voice: "What are the plans of the Ninth Elder?" This girl is still waiting for a token. β
The sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, and a small object wrapped in green mangs quickly hit Si Tu, but in the blink of an eye, it came to a steady stop at her hand.
This is a token?
Si Tu breathed a sigh of relief, the group of elders had not moved since those words, which made her nervous. Without saying a word, he took out the token, could it be that his words did not anger the elders?
She glanced at the position in the center of the high platform, where the green mang came from.
With his hand open, Qingmang obediently fell into his hand, which was an extremely delicate earring. Before Si Tu could see it clearly, the small earrings turned into a green light again after touching the aura in her hand, and jumped on her ears.
Si Tu subconsciously touched it, but felt that the aura on it was restrained, and it was not easy to take it off for a while, so he didn't care about it anymore. This ninth elder is careful, knowing that it is his daughter's family, he uses jewelry as a token, and he is a female elder who is easy to get along with.
A voice from above said, "Let's go down." β
After receiving the token, Si Tu had completely relaxed, and after hearing this, he withdrew from the inner hall after performing the teacher again. What she didn't know was that in the moment she left, the two elders in the hall had privately spread no less than a hundred messages.
Kong Xuan watched Si Tu leave, and the top of his head turned red. Unwillingly, he said, "Didn't the Ninth Elder say that he was lazy, why did he agree again?" β
I saw that the Ninth Elder moved his position slightly, and said slowly, "When did I say I wouldn't accept it?" It is rare that one of the 200 students in total is willing to be guided by me, and if he refuses, he will really become a loner. Didn't Elder Kong Xuan want me to fall asleep in Shechi Mountain for hundreds of years to come, wouldn't that be too boring? β
Kong Xuan was choked by these words and had nothing to say, the Nine Elders of the family had to choose such a student, if they fought with him again, it would indeed be too much. But Kong Xuan is still a little unwilling, if such a good seedling goes to Shechi Mountain to be instructed by the Nine Elders, he doesn't know how lazy he will be. Pity... What a pity...
Kong Xuan silently recited several Heart Sutras in a row to ease his emotions, but in the future, when this girl went to Shechi Mountain, she also found an opportunity to go over, maybe she could also point by the way.
He couldn't get angry when he thought about it, and the gaze he looked at the Nine Elders was extremely friendly.
Chi Yijiu was looked at by this sudden eager gaze, and felt a chill in his heart, should this bald head be...
Hey... He shuddered, and turned his head away from making eye contact with Kong Xuan. In his heart, he silently thought about how he would guide this little girl if she came to Shechi Mountain, which was also a problem for him.
A hundred years ago, Chi Yijiu was bored, so he handed over the news to Long Hunt and wanted to come to this school to be lively. But he didn't expect this place to be very boring, but he got tired of it after a year. There is an agreement in the academy that each elder can only be replaced after serving for at least 200 years, so he is trapped in the academy.
He would not have instructed him on any cultivation path, and when he took office, the school was also closed. It was because Aunt Lan came to ask him for advice this time, relying on the age of his own life, and wrote everything with a stroke of a pen, but he didn't expect that this time there were really students who chose him as the guiding elder.
Chi Yijiu's slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and this girl gave him a very strange feeling, dΓ©jΓ vu. It's not bad to stay by your side and give advice, but I'm bored anyway, so it's fun to sleep and pursue the doubts in my heart.
However, this girl is only about 700 years old, not old enough to doze off herself, why does she have a feeling of acquaintance in her?
Chi Yijiu fell into deep thought, what had he done seven hundred years ago until now? It's sleeping in the Heavenly Dragon Realm... Or do you want to play around...
